Following previous speculation, it's been confirmed that Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are officially divorcing after four years of marriage. The Jonas Brother singer filed legal paperwork to begin divorce proceedings on Tuesday in a court in Miami, citing that the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken. 

The papers were obtained by the Associated Press who then confirmed that the divorce was going ahead. The Jonas Brothers are currently on tour and last played a show on Sunday in Austin, Texas, when Joe was wearing his wedding ring. Sophie, who is known for her role in Games of Thrones, is yet to comment on the news.

Charli XCX has responded to being featured in an EastEnders episode. The singer was clearly delighted with her reference in the popular soap after the characters Lily Slater and Ricky Mitchell had named their baby after the Boom Clap hitmaker. The video went viral online with fans loving the funny moment before Charli took to Twitter to repost the clip herself and wrote: "Shout out to my gays in the writer's room."

Drake had a big surprise for a fan at his recent gig when he gifted a lucky crowd member $50,000. The rapper was performing in Las Vegas as part of his It's All A Blur tour when he pointed out a sign in the audience which explained one fan had spent his furniture money on two of Drake's shows. Drizzy spotted the sign and clearly appreciated the fans' effort as he then said he was going to give him 50,000 dollars in return. The hotline bling rapper then said to the crowd that the sweet moment was what life is all about and that you never know what someone is going through.
