Britney Spears met few members of the ‘Glee’ cast when she appeared on the show

The pop superstar made a cameo appearance as herself on the musical drama series last year, but actor Matthew Morrison – who plays teacher Will Schuester – says it was difficult for the regular cast members to get on set the day she arrived for filming.

He said: “What was Britney like? I don’t know – I didn’t get to meet her. Not many people did.

“She had pretty big security around her. We actually had security bands to get onto our set that day.”

While Matthew appears unimpressed with Britney, he loves Gwyneth Paltrow’s guest stints on the show and thinks she has been able to reinvent herself.

He said: “Gwyneth Paltrow has definitely been my favourite guest. ‘Glee’ gives people a chance to reinvent themselves. I think Gwyneth does a lot of serious shows, but she really made fun of herself on ‘Glee’ and proved to be a goof.”

The 32-year-old singer-and-actor also revealed he would love to see Adele make an appearance on the programme.

He told Now magazine: “I’d love to have Adele on. She’s someone who has a good sense of who she is. She’d be incredible.”

Usher doesn’t care about awards and just wants to be creative

The ‘OMG’ hitmaker has sold more than 65 million albums and has been nominated at numerous award ceremonies including the BRITS, MTV Video and Europe Music Awards, Billboard and the Grammys but says what spurs him on more than anything is motivating others.

He explained: “I tend to do things that are motivating for others and continue to be creative, open-minded and believe in my dreams. At this stage, doing something for the good of others is bigger than an award, bigger than a new album or new bling.”

However, while he loves making music, Usher’s favourite way of relaxing and getting new inspiration is going to art museums all over the world.

He told Britain’s HELLO! magazine:” I love to travel and see the world, taking in art museums. I really enjoyed the Louvre when I was there not so long ago. I just love to talk to people as much as I can, talking about what’s going on in their life and what they’re experiencing.”

Michael Jackson drank intravenous drugs, it is to be claimed in court

The late singer’s personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray faces trial next week over the involuntary manslaughter of the ‘King of Pop’ – who died of acute Propofol intoxication in June 2009 – and his legal team are reportedly planning to show how addicted the “crazy” star was to medications to help him sleep.

The claims come after an autopsy report showed the intravenously administered sedative was swilling in his stomach hours after his death.

A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Conrad Murray’s team can’t understand how Propofol got into the stomach.

“It does not make sense unless Michael drank it. To them that will show the world how much of an addict he was.

“Michael was acting crazy in his last few hours, demanding drugs to help him sleep. He was always playing with the bottles, who know what he did.”

Murray will also claim Michael was able to inject himself to feed his addictions and had detailed knowledge of painkilling medications and intravenous treatments after decades of drug abuse.

The source added: “Dr. Murray is confident he can convince a jury Michael could have self-administered his drugs.

“It paints a bad picture of him as his doctor for feeding his addiction but Dr. Murray still insists he didn’t dish out enough to kill him.”

Meanwhile, a key witness in the case has gone missing.

Pharmacist Tim Lopez – who claimed he sent large amounts of a powerful anaesthetic to Murray’s girlfriend shortly before the singer’s death – has moved to Thailand without telling authorities, and his friends and family have reportedly refused to reveal his exact whereabouts.

Now, prosecutors want to use an earlier testimony he gave as part of their evidence, with Judge Michael Pastor expected to make a decision in the next few days.

Opening arguments in the trial are scheduled to begin on September 26.

If convicted, the medic faces up to four years in jail.

Justin Timberlake doesn’t need love to be romantic

The singer-and-actor – who recently rekindled his relationship with actress Jessica Biel – loves studying old movies and believes outstanding performances have their own sense of romance.

He said: “To me, romance is not just about love. I recently saw ‘Lust, Caution’, and it’s tragic and romantic. I don’t know how they shot those sex scenes. Those scenes looked crazy. In general, movies as a form are romantic to me. One of my favourite performances is Donald O’Connor doing ‘Make ‘Em Laugh’ in ‘Singin’ in the Rain’. To me, the performance of song and dance with humour and props is a lost art. His performance is masterful and subtle – romantic in a different way.”

Justin, 30, shot to fame as a member of the ‘All-New Mickey Mouse Club’ in 1993 before going on to be a part of NSYNC but he insists he doesn’t mind the fact the “weird stages” of his teenage years were lived out in public – though he regrets some of his outfits.

He added in an interview with W magazine: “It’s different now, but in the past I’ve had some accidents, for sure. I think I have to laugh about the fact that I grew up in public. All these weird stages in my teenage years are documented. Why did no one tell me how terrible some of those outfits were?”

Miley Cyrus says Liam Hemsworth is the perfect boyfriend – because he listens to her

The singer-and-actress – who recently rekindled her romance with the Australian actor after splitting from him last November following an 18-month relationship – knows Liam is the right man for her because he’s always there to lend a sympathetic ear instead of telling her what to do.

Speaking to philSTAR.com, she said: “I think it’s someone that is always there to listen and I think that’s when people make mistakes because they always want to have the answers and I don’t like people trying to fix me, I just like them being able to listen.”

Miley, 18, insists she’s never been happier and loves everything about her life.

She said: “Everything’s great, I’m happy and there’s nothing I can complain about. I’m performing and doing what I love and I have awesome people in my life so nothing can really go wrong.”

Earlier this year, Miley hinted that she and Liam were back together and he would be joining her on her trip to his native Australia in June for her ‘Gypsy Heart’ tour.

She said during a recent interview on an Australian radio show: “I don’t want to cross out the Australian boys but I may or may not be single … I love Australian boys though obviously.

“Liam and I are very close, I’m not going to comment too much, but you guys don’t have to worry about that … I’m definitely not coming to Australia single.”

Beyonce Knowles is taking pregnancy advice from Gwyneth Paltrow

The 30-year-old singer is expecting her first baby with husband Jay-Z and Gwyneth – who has children Apple, seven, and five-year-old Moses with husband Chris Martin – has been giving her suggestions on the right food supplements to take and products to use to ensure a healthy pregnancy.

A source told Closer magazine: “Gwyneth has known about this pregnancy for over a month and has been telling Beyonce to drink a shot of wheatgrass each morning and to rub her belly with coconut oil to prevent stretch marks.

“She’s also advised her to meditate for an hour every day and soak her feet in ice water to prevent swelling.”

However, while Beyonce was thrilled with the parcel of energy crystals Gwyneth sent her to promote peace, love, and good health, she is said to not be impressed by some of the other tips she has received from the actress.

The insider added: “Beyonce knows Gwyneth is just trying to show how much she cares, but her advice can be a little overwhelming.

“She’s sending packages of herbs and vitamins – but Beyonce wants to do things her own way, what suits her best and not be told what to eat.”

Justin Bieber is “shocked” Selena Gomez agreed to go out with him

The ‘Baby’ hitmaker – who confirmed in March he was dating the 19-year-old star – admits he was surprised she agreed to date him because of how good looking she is.

Asked how he managed to get with her on the ‘Mike Missanelli Show’ on Fanatic FM in the US, he joked: “I was pretty shocked myself. She’s very beautiful. We started as friends like two years ago, so we’ve been friends for a long time, so that’s pretty much kind of how it started.”

However, the 17-year-old heartthrob reveals their friendly relationship started unusually. He added: “I had a girlfriend when Selena was my friend. I think we should be talking about sports.”

In August it was reported Selena had become angry with Justin after he begun hanging around with bad boy friends including Sean Kingston – who was a former child burglar – and ex-convict Lil Wayne. A friend of Selena’s said: “Selena told him to stop hanging with these bad people. She didn’t want him to crash her gig.”

Kylie Minogue’s parents are among the few people who don’t pressure her about having children

The 43-year-old singer – who has been dating Spanish model Andres Velencoso for three years – is sick of people asking her when she plans on having kids but is grateful her parents aren’t trying to force her to become a mother.

She told YOU magazine: “I hate the question, ‘So when are you going to have children?’ But amazingly I have never heard it from my mum or dad. They never put pressure on any of us. For a while it looked liked it would never happen for us all and then boom, boom, boom.

“The only answer I have is, ‘If it happens for me –beautiful.’ I’ll have to wait and see. I love children and I love the thought of having a family. And Andres is really good with kids.”

While Kylie hasn’t ruled out having children in the future, for now she is content to dote on her nephews.

She said: “Don’t get me started talking about my nephew. My brother Brendan’s son Charlie is five now and his little brother James is two and Dannii’s boy Ethan is one. They all came to see my show in Melbourne and I could see them from the stage. I kept looking over to see if they were still there.”

Although Kylie calls herself a “serial monogamist”, she admitted she is reluctant to settle down and tie the knot.

She explained: “I don’t like to be boxed in. Maybe that feeling has affected my attitude to marriage. But it isn’t about fearing a commitment – I am committed. I’m a serial monogamist and I have never run off. It’s just that I need to be able to breathe.”

Britney Spears sees exercise as “spiritual thing”

The ‘Toxic’ singer keeps to a strict workout regime in order to be in peak condition for performing on her current ‘Femme Fatale’ tour and feels it goes beyond simply working out.

She told Britain’s Glamour magazine: “[Exercise] is a spiritual thing, it helps your mind and your body and it’s all connected. So, yes, I think it’s really important to take care of yourself in that way.

“I work out every other day, and sometimes every day. I run a lot on the treadmills in hotels when I’m on tour and I do light weights and a little bit of cardio.”

However, Britney has also long been a fan of calorific treats and in the past has been known to go on junk food binges, which reportedly caused her to put on 14lbs in one month during her 2009 ‘Circus’ tour.

A source said at the time: “She does not think about the calories in the food, just that she likes it. She loves greasy food and creamy sweets and hates fruit and vegetables.”

To regain her figure, the singer subsequently put herself on a 1,600 calorie-a-day diet.

Cheryl Cole has ruled out a reunion with her ex husband Ashley Cole

The Girls Aloud singer -who was devastated by revelations the soccer star bedded a string of women days before they were thought to have reconciled in July – has finally decided to “cleanse” herself of her former spouse and is now ready to move on and find love again.

According to Britain’s Sunday Mirror, Cheryl told pals: “I’ll never go back. I don’t need him anymore.

“It took me this time to come to this conclusion and move on.”

A friend added: “Cheryl finally made the decision that it’s all over. She felt mentally drained from everything he put her through and she partly blames herself for letting him back into her life.

“She’s completely cut herself off from him to cleanse herself of him, including deleting his number from her phone.”

The news will come as huge relief to friends and fans of the ‘Parachute’ hitmaker after she was spotted in a clinch with the soccer star at her birthday party in July.

The friend added: “What happened on the night of her party was a blip. Since then she’s taken time out again from him and now believes she was wrong. She can’t go back and try and right the wrongs of their marriage.

“What’s done is done and she’s got her head straight and believes it’s time for a new Cheryl.”

Cheryl has reportedly even agreed to go on a date with a self-made millionaire who has been desperate to meet her.

The pal said: “One of the producers she’s been working with has a pal who’s desperate to meet her. He’s not in the public eye and is a self-made millionaire who is a very desirable bachelor. After splitting with Ashley she agreed to go on a date with him when she returns to Los Angeles.”

Madonna refuses to look back on her past

The 53-year-old singer will celebrate 30 years in the music industry in 2012 and while she has led an interesting, and sometimes controversial, life she refuses to regret anything she’s done as she’s only focused on the future.

She said: “I don’t think much about the past, to tell you the truth. I’m too busy looking forward.”

Madonna – who is currently promoted new movie ‘W.E.’, which she directed – also says people should stop worrying about having the perfect life and be content with what they’ve got.

The mother-of-four told the Daily Record newspaper: “Stop striving for perfection because there is no such thing. We have to look beneath the surface and I think that we can’t take it personally and literally. We can’t judge a book by its cover, you have to read the book.

“How do you expect to know a person? You can’t expect to know who they are by reading an article in a magazine about them. We live in a society that is obsessed with celebrities and it’s pretty easy to get famous very quickly now. I so I think there is an obsession with celebrity and people mistake getting to photograph somebody in their backyard, playing on the swings with their children, as actually some kind of intimacy. But it’s an illusion.”

Justin Bieber wears women’s jeans

The ‘Baby’ hitmaker – who has been dating singer and actress Selena Gomez since earlier this year – admitted he opts for girls’ clothing because it tends to fit him better than pieces designed for men.

He said: “I’ve worn women’s jeans before because they fit me. It’s not a trend; it’s just, whatever works, works.”

However, the 17-year-old hitmaker doesn’t look set to be borrowing anything from Selena’s wardrobe in the near future, as he admitted while the relationship is going “pretty well” the couple won’t be getting married “any time soon”.

Asked if nuptials are on the horizon, Justin told Life and Style magazine: “I don’t know. I feel like if it happens, it happens. Right now I’m just focusing on my music, and I feel like it’s going pretty well.

“I definitely believe in marriage – but not any time soon. We won’t live together until we’re married.”

Kimberley Walsh wants Jennifer Lopez’s body

The Girls Aloud beauty is famous herself for having a shapely rear and envious curves but she thinks the ‘American Idol’ judge has the perfect hour-glass figure.

She said: “It’s a really tough call at the moment, but I think Jennifer Lopez is in great shape. She looks fantastic.”

Kimberley – who is in a long-term relationship with Justin Scott – is not overly obsessed with her weight but has found a regime that works for her.

To maintain her sexy shape, the 29-year-old singer hits the gym several times a week, which means she can indulge in her favourite foods.

She explained: “I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m too obsessive health-wise, but I have been working out for the past year or so. I’ve realised I can either exercise and eat normally or I can diet and not work out – so I work out. It’s more fun and it definitely makes you feel more virtuous.”

Justin Timberlake is “frugal”

The 30-year-old star admits he does not like to be careless with his cash and rarely shops, and doesn’t think money can buy happiness.

He said: “I will say that I’m pretty frugal. I’ll probably shop for clothes for myself once a year, and that will last me for the rest of the year.

“What was it that Prince said, ‘Money can’t buy you happiness, but it can help pay for the pursuit.

“It’s nice to have places in Los Angeles and New York. I spend enough time in both that’s it’s nice to have a home. But I don’t need them.”

The ‘Friends with Benefits’ actor also reveals he does not have many friends and believes he will die “In a small town”.

He added to The Observer Magazine: “I grew up in a small town and I could count my friends on one hand, and I still live that way. I think I’ll die in a small town. When I can’t move my bones around a stage anymore, you’ll find me living in a place that’s spread out and rural and spacious.”

Mel C doesn’t think the Spice Girls will tour again

The group – Mel, Mel B, Geri Halliwell, Victoria Beckham and Emma Bunton – reformed for a string of shows in 2007 and 2008 and despite speculation they will reunite again for next year’s London Olympics, the singer can’t see them going out on the road any more, even though they are now closer than ever.

She said: “The reunion tour rekindled our friendship. To play the O2 and Madison Square Garden in front of so many fans was brilliant, but
for us girls to get back together was the highlight. “We’ve got such a bond because of what we went through, so to be back in each others’ lives is lovely.

“I don’t think we’ll tour together again, but then I never thought it would happen the first time so who knows?” Mel, 37, also admitted she might pen her life story one day – but only when she no longer cares about upsetting anyone with her memoirs.

She told Britain’s Hello! magazine: “When you’re older and at a pointing life where you don’t care who you offend or upset, I think that’s the only way to do it. Who might I offend? Ask me again in 20 years.”

Madonna impressed her boyfriend’s family with a £50,000 stay in the south of France

The 53-year-old singer is currently dating 24 year old Brahim Zaibat, and in a bid to impress his mother Patricia Vidal and five of his cousins, she put them up in the Hotel Du Cap on the Cap d’Antibes in the South of France and gave them a limitless budget to enjoy.

A source told the Sun newspaper: “Madonna went all out to impress Brahim’s mother and his cousins. She told them all to order whatever they liked – which they couldn’t believe as the bill for one meal alone came to more than £1,000.”

The two families even enjoyed a night out at the Palais nightclub in Cannes before Madonna had to jet to Venice to promote her new movie
‘W.E.’ about the love life of Britain’s Edward VIII and American socialite Wallace Simpson.

Madonna – who has previously dated model Jesus Luz since her marriage break-up with Guy Ritchie in 2008 and was once wed to Sean Penn – recently revealed she was attracted to “creative” men.

She said: “I am and was attracted to very creative people which is why I married Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie, very talented directors, and the  both encouraged me as a director to do what I did. They were both very supportive.”

Madonna likes “creative” men

The 53-year-old singer has confessed she was attracted to her ex-husbands Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie because they were interesting and talented and admits both encouraged her to pursue her personal acting and directing dreams.

Speaking at a press conference following the screening of her new movie ‘W.E.’ – which Madonna directed – at the Venice Film Festival, she said: “I am and was attracted to very creative people which is why I married Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie, very talented directors, and they both encouraged me as a director to do what I did. They were both very supportive.”

Although this is only the second movie the pop superstar has directed, she has appeared in a number of films – including ‘Dick Tracy’, ‘Body of Evidence’ and ‘Evita’, which earned her a Golden Globe Award – and admits movies inspired her to become an artist when she was a child.

She revealed: “I’ve always loved film, all my life. As a child I was always inspired by movies and I always had it in the back of my mind that I wanted to make one … Making films is really hard in the first place. You have to believe in your subject matter and be passionate about it because there will be challenges along the way. You have to be prepared like the captain of a ship, no matter what happens you have got to keep going. So your spiritual foundation has to be strong.”

‘W.E.’ focuses on the relationship between Britain’s King Edward VIII’s and American divorcee Wallis Simpson and his decision to abdicate the British throne in 1936 to marry her.

Justin Bieber is unhurt after being involved in a “minor” car crash

The 17-year-old singing sensation’s Ferrari – which he is thought to have been driving alongside an unnamed passenger – collided into a Honda Civic car the Studio City area of Los Angeles yesterday (30.08.11), but there was no damage done to either drivers or vehicles.

Los Angeles Police officer Gregory Baek confirmed the ‘Never Say Never’ hitmaker was involved in a “very minor collision” but said there was no visible damage to his car.

This is not the first traffic incident Justin has been involved in recently.

The ‘Baby’ hitmaker was recently pulled over by undercover police on Ocean Drive in Miami while driving his friend Sean Kingston’s Rolls Royce convertible.

Police thought it was suspicious that someone so young was driving such an expensive car, but the pair did not break the law and were allowed to keep driving.

A source said at the time: “An undercover police officer was driving behind Justin and [his passenger] Sean Kingston. He pulled them over in front of the restaurant on Ocean Drive because he thought it was strange that this young kid was driving a brand new convertible Rolls-Royce.”

Cheryl Cole is reportedly moving into will.i.am’s Hollywood home

The Girls Aloud singer – who has not been seen in public following revelations her ex-husband Ashley Cole bedded a string of women days before they were thought to have reconciled – is set to reside with her manager when she is in America because she is “sick” of staying in Los Angeles hotel rooms.

A source close to the ‘Parachute’ hitmaker told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: “Cheryl is sick to death of staying in hotels when she’s in LA.

“She’s seen some great houses. But she is worried about being lonely when her mum and brother Garry aren’t around. Will suggested she move in with him while she gets settled and has even said she is welcome for all of her stay.”

Will’s home contains a recording studio, which will enable the 28-year-old stunner to sample some songs with the Black Eyed Peas singer.

A source added: “By staying at Will’s she’ll be able to play around with tracks with him. Cheryl was hesitant at first but then realised it made perfect sense.”

Will and Cheryl recently spent some quality time on holiday in the south of France – and the 36-year-old uploaded a picture of himself and the brunette beauty – whose maiden name is Tweedy – to his twitter account.

He also tweeted: “Its me and the “Tweety Nird” in Cannes, France… Me and Cheryl Cole in the south of France having fun. (sic)”

But he later corrected himself, adding: “My last tweet I had a typo. I put “tweedy nird” but meant “tweedy bird”. B and N are close…ooops. (sic)”

The ‘America’s Got Talent’ host and wife Mariah Carey became parents to twins Moroccan Scott and Monroe in April and the presenter is loving every minute of being a dad.

He said: “There is no ‘worst’ part at all. Everything is amazing about fatherhood. The best part is when they communicate with you and they recognise you. It’s the best.”

Cheryl Cole wanted to become a “big sister” to Britney Spears

The ‘Fight For this Love’ singer thought she could help Britney – who suffered a public meltdown, culminating with her shaving her head in 2007 – become “normal” again, according to her ex-minder Craig Balkam.

A friend told how Craig had said: “She used to talk about Britney Spears. She kept saying she wanted to help Britney – that she thought she could become like a big sister to her and make her normal again after all her crazy behaviour.” Cheryl, 28, was not as big a fan of eccentric star Lady Gaga, however, because of her provocative stage antics.

The source added to the Sunday Mirror newspaper: “She had a thing about Lady Gaga too. She loves Lady Gaga’s music but disapproved of her stage show. She’s quite shy and not that comfortable with overly sexual behaviour. She’s very proper and ladylike.” Cheryl’s had attempted to establish herself as a star in the US, but it backfired when she was sacked from the judging panel of talent show.

‘The X Factor’ after only four days of filming earlier this year. She has since returned to the UK, where she has kept a low profile and reportedly reunited with her ex-husband, Ashley Cole. Cheryl had confided in Craig that she had long felt like a “prisoner” and longed to turn her back on life in the public eye.

The source added: “Cheryl kept saying she wanted to get out of showbusiness. She said she had enough of being a prisoner in her hotel room – that was a phrase she used a lot. “She said wanted to be a normal person again. But at the same time she was very keen to crack it in America – as though she was torn between the two.”

Katy Perry has matched Michael Jackson’s record of having five number one hit singles from the same album on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart

The brunette beauty’s latest release ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)’ made history as it became her fifth single from platinum record ‘Teenage Dream’ to reach the top spot, following the success of ‘California Gurls’, ‘Teenage Dream’, ‘Firework’ and ‘E.T.’, which has left the singer feeling “proud”.

The 26-year-old star took to her twitter account to announce the news earlier today (17.08.11), tweeting: “What a way to wake up! SO proud to announce that the little-engine-that-could of a song ‘LAST FRIDAY NIGHT’ is officially #1 & made HISTORY! (sic)”

Katy then praised her fans for helping her become the first woman to achieve the feat.

She wrote: “& u know, I couldn’t have done it with out ya, really I owe u guys BIG… so take this moment to give yourself a high FIVE!!! #allbecauseofu (sic)”

The exploit was last achieved by Michael – who died in 2009, aged 50 – when his 10-track album ‘Bad’ featured five number one singles, ‘I Just Can’t Stop Loving You’, ‘Bad’, ‘The Way You Make Me Feel’, ‘Man in the Mirror’ and ‘Dirty Diana’, between 1987 and 1988 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Selena Gomez would never change for a guy again

The 19-year-old singer-and-actress– who is dating teenage singing sensation Justin Bieber – admits she once let a boyfriend’s likes and dislikes influence the way she behaved, and after witnessing how happy her loved ones were when the romance ended, she insists she will always be herself from now on.

She said: “I wasn’t myself for a year. I think that was really damaging. I felt like it was me who was always trying to be perfect for him.

“Everyone around me hated him but I didn’t listen. I think I had to go through it because now I’m the strongest I’ve been.

“I dare someone to try and change me again.”

Selena admits she “lost herself” in the relationship and lost her sense of fun until the romance was over.

She explained in an interview with Top of the Pops magazine: “I always dressed nice. I don’t think he ever saw me in sweatpants – and I love sweatpants.

“I’d always be well-mannered and go to his favourite restaurants or whatever.

“There was a point where I lost myself completely. I didn’t smile as much, I didn’t laugh as much. I wasn’t a goofball. I didn’t get up and dance like I usually do.

“And when that one ended, I didn’t know where I was. But I got it back and was really happy. My family were happy to have me back.”

Taylor Momsen has quit acting

The former ‘Gossip Girl’ star – who has been in movies ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ and ‘Spy Kids 2: The Island of Lost Dreams’ – has no plans to appear in any more films or TV shows, admitting she just wants to concentrate on her music career with ‘Make Me Wanna Die’ rockers The Pretty Reckless.

When asked if she had any acting roles lined up, she told Elle magazine: “I quit acting, actually. I quit ‘Gossip Girl’ and now tour and am in a band and that’s pretty much all I want to do. Hopefully I’ll be able to only do that for the rest of my life.”

In May, it was confirmed the blonde beauty would not be reprising her role as ‘Gossip Girl’ series regular Jenny Humphrey in the fifth season of the show – which stars Ed Westwick, Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Chace Crawford – along with Jessica Szohr, but it was reported the pair could make guest appearances in future episodes.

Earlier this year, Taylor explained music has always been the main passion in her life.

She said: “[Music] is all I ever wanted to do with my life. I wanted to make records and tour, so it’s very exciting that our first record is coming out and people can actually hear it.”
