Disgraced British glam rock star Gary Glitter has been charged with additional counts of child sexual abuse in the U.K.

The 82-year-old “Rock and Roll” singer (real name Paul Gadd) has repeatedly been convicted of pedophilia and is currently serving a 16-year prison sentence in England for sexually abusing three young girls in the 1970s. On Thursday (July 2), London’s Metropolitan Police and the Crown Prosecution Service accused him of abusing a fourth girl under the age of 13 during that same period at a home in Kensington.

“This follows allegations made by a woman relating to a period of alleged abuse that took place between 1978 and 1981,” said lead prosecutor Bethan David in a public announcement. “Our prosecutors have worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring this case to court and that it is in the public interest to do so.”

Glitter is charged in this new case with one count of unlawful sexual intercourse with a child and three counts of indecent assault. Police say the victim reported the alleged crimes in January 2025 and that Glitter was interviewed as part of their lengthy investigation before charges were filed.

The former pop star is set to appear in Westminster Magistrates’ Court to address the charges on Aug. 5. He could not immediately be reached for comment on Thursday.

Glitter has been a convicted sex offender since 1999, when he pled guilty in the U.K. to possessing child sexual abuse material. In 2006, he was sentenced to three years in a Vietnamese prison for sexually abusing two girls aged 10 and 11 in the country.

The singer was then arrested again in London in 2012 as part of “Operation Yewtree,” a massive U.K. probe into historical child sex abuse that stemmed from allegations against late BBC television host Jimmy Savile. Glitter was convicted in 2015 of abusing three young girls and sentenced to 16 years in prison.

He was initially granted probation after serving half the sentence in 2023, but returned to jail within a month after breaching the terms of his release. He remains incarcerated at Channings Wood Prison in Devon, England.

The United States Men’s National Soccer Team is on a roll during this 2026 FIFA World Cup tournament, and Weston McKennie made sure to celebrate their latest victory while jamming out to country music’s biggest song.

Following the team’s 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina on Wednesday night, the midfielder shared a celebratory video on social media from the team bus. In the clip, he played and passionately sang along to Ella Langley’s smash hit “Choosin’ Texas.”

In the clip, McKennie sings along to the chorus while smiling at the camera before panning over to his teammates, including Tyler Adams, Christian Pulisic and Antonee Robinson, who sing along during the post-match celebration. He then turns the camera toward the other side of the bus, where the rest of the squad joins in on the festivities.

The video also included a message for the country star that read, “Nothing better than @ellalangleymusic after a win.”

Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” continues its historic run at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, where it logs an 11th nonconsecutive week at No. 1. The song is now the longest-leading Hot 100 No. 1 by a woman with a country hit, among songs that have also reached Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart.

The U.S. men’s team will next face Belgium on Monday in a highly anticipated rematch of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Round of 16, when the Americans fell 2-1 in extra time. The U.S. will be without leading striker Folarin Balogun, who was suspended after receiving a red card during Wednesday’s victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina.

As Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce celebrate their nuptials over Fourth of July weekend, the couple made sure that several different charities have cause to celebrate as well.

In light of the Thursday (July 2) news that the pop star and Kansas City Chiefs tight end had contributed $26 million to a slew of charities across the United States, many of those organizations have shared public messages of thanks. One of them, the Grammy Museum Foundation, posted a statement praising the soon-to-be-newlyweds for their “transformative gift” that will “help expand our mission of bringing music education to students across the country,” while New York Cares said it was “enchanted” by their generosity and added, “Thank you for making our mission a part of your love story.”

“We’d like to send a heartfelt thank you to @taylorswift and @killatrav for their very generous donation to our food bank just prior to their big wedding day,” wrote Harvesters in Kansas City. “The two of them have incredibly big hearts and have shown up to support not only us but many charities over the years. We feel so lucky that they make the conscious effort to invest in hunger relief and the beautiful community we call Kansas City!”

Those are just three of more than a dozen thank-you notes released by charities Swift and Kelce selected to benefit from their pre-wedding donation. The 14-time Grammy winner’s rep announced the act of goodwill earlier on Thursday, sending a list of the organizations who received parts of the sum. Notably, all of the cities featured have personal significance to the couple, from Reading, Pennsylvania, and Cleveland — where Swift and the football player are from, respectively — to Nashville and Kansas City, where they started their careers.

The pair also donated to a number of causes based in NYC, where they are set to celebrate their wedding on Friday at Madison Square Garden.

See some of the posts from charities thanking Swift and Kelce below.

50 Cent has responded to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently telling Complex that he would invite the rapper to a dream dinner party at Gracie Mansion and the supposed beef between the two has been “one-sided.”

“I would throw in 50 Cent, so that we could have a conversation around tax policy,” he told the outlet after naming former New York City mayor Fiorello La Guardia as one of his guests. “My tax policies are not his favorites, but Get Rich or Die Tryin’ is still one of my favorites of all time.”

He added: “It’s a one-sided beef, yeah. I think we’re always gonna have a disagreement on that tax policy. I wanna increase tax on the wealthiest; he does not want that to happen. But I will still appreciate the song ‘Many Men,’ for whatever our disagreements are.”

The Queens entertainment mogul then took to Instagram and told the mayor to focus on Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce upcoming wedding at Madison Square Garden instead of on him. “Man focus on the wedding of the century, Taylor and Travis down at the Garden,” 50 wrote in a post earlier Thursday (June 2). “We don’t have beef, I just think some of these ideas are radical. Stay away from the taxes. OK!”

50 has voiced his displeasure with Mamdani’s “tax the rich” rhetoric and policy agenda since his mayoral run began to catch steam. He offered the then-Democratic mayoral nominee $258,750 and a first-class ticket to leave the city in a since-deleted post. He also posted a tombstone that read, “RIP NYC: FOUNDED 1624 – DIED 2025,” after Mamdani won the election back in November.

It’s the start of something new: After going viral for her essay about leaving a group of allegedly “toxic” moms, Ashley Tisdale has teamed up with Netflix to transform her experience into a series.

The High School Musical alum announced the news Thursday (July 2) on Instagram, sharing screenshots of Deadline‘s exclusive report about the project. With Tisdale expected to star, Toxic Moms will feature a script written by Sabrina Jalees. Ali Wong is also involved and will possibly direct.

“Toxic Moms is a dark half-hour comedy following a sleep-deprived new mom who’s drawn into a clique of cool, wealthy mothers,” the publication described the show. “But when the group reveals its darker side, the series asks: in the isolation of motherhood, how far would you go to taste community?”

In her caption, Tisdale wrote, “I guess we all can be a little toxic.”

The development comes just six months after the singer-actress first published her essay titled “Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group” on The Cut. In it, she recalled feeling repeatedly “left out” by her former group of mom friends, comparing the experience to being “back in high school.”

“I knew that I had to speak up for myself, just like I would want my daughters to do,” Tisdale wrote. “So that’s exactly what I texted to the group after being left out from yet another group hang: ‘This is too high school for me and I don’t want to take part in it anymore.’”

The essay might have come and gone if it hadn’t been for internet sleuths who quickly determined that the friend group Tisdale was referencing included Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, Meghan Trainor and other recognizable women. The Lizzy McGuire alum’s husband, Matthew Koma, stirred the pot by posting a satirical version of the article on his Instagram Story — “When You’re The Most Self Obsessed Tone Deaf Person On Earth, Other Moms Tend To Shift Focus To Their Actual Toddlers,” his faux headline read — after which Duff addressed the drama on Call Her Daddy.

“I don’t really think people had to connect very many dots, do you?” she said on Call Her Daddy in February. “It sucks to read something that’s not true, and it sucks on behalf of, like, six women and all of their lives … the timing felt not great, and I felt used.”

In May, Moore also weighed in. “I’m someone who is really scared by confrontation, but also when it’s important, I am a huge proponent [of] having a conversation if my feelings are hurt,” she said on Andy Cohen Live. “Face-to-face. It’s not always the most comfortable of situations, but I think that’s where I sort of differed in feeling like I wouldn’t have handled the situation this way.”

Beyond Toxic Moms, Tisdale is also working on a new comedy, You’re Only Young Twice, with CBS. She last dropped an album, Lemons, in 2019.
