Tom Holland has said he's quitting social media

Mariah Carey's home has been burgled after the singer took a vacation in Capri, Italy as well as holidaying in the Hamptons. The Grammy-winning artist's property in Atlanta, Georgia was broken into in late July and the police have recently confirmed the crime took place, but it is unknown what was taken from the artist's home. 

Louis Tomlinson has been left feeling "gutted" after a number of unreleased tracks have been leaked online. The 30-year-old, who shot to fame as one fifth of boyband One Direction, has reportedly called in his label bosses to investigate after the tracks, which were penned in 2020, were shared illegally on the internet. It comes soon after the singer revealed that his second album, a follow-up to his debut Walls, was complete and due for release very soon.
