Following in the footsteps of new Queen of Christmas , is in the middle of playing a run of shows at Voltaire in Sin City’s The Venetian.

Leona doesn’t allow herself a single tipple before or after the show.

She told Bizarre’s Jack: “I don’t really drink when I’m touring or doing a run of shows.

“I also have a toddler I’m running after, so drinking is the last thing on my mind right now.

“I’m very much in Christmas land at the moment, but the show is a nice blend of my original songs and favourite Christmas music.”

Leona floats above the crowd on a giant moon singing classic Fly Me To The Moon, something she was adamant about doing from the get go.

She said: “My husband produced the show and our little girl also had input into lots of it, so it’s a very family friendly experience – a bit magical, a little ethereal and hopefully leaves people feeling uplifted.

“I wanted to sing Fly Me To The Moon during my set as it is a Vegas classic. It only felt right to actually fly on the moon.”

Next year Leona will release her first non-Christmas album in more than a decade.

Confirming our exclusive story, Leona said: “I’ve actually been in and out of the studio for the past couple of years. It’s been a real labour of love and I’m planning to share music next year.”

Fans will soon be hearing new music too, as she is preparing to drop her first new album since Liberation in 2018.

Christina said: “Integrity matters to me. I’m a message girl, I like to absorb what’s happening in the world, things that are moving me and affecting people, to really put thought into it.”

were filmed non-stop for a new film about their reunion.

Dylan Southern, who directed the documentary, expected within the year, said: “The scope of the film is enormous. I worked so much with Liam and Noel Gallagher. We’ve been with them from rehearsals to the last concert of the tour. This was a dream project.”

WEST SPEND GIRL

But Lily’s been spending so much money that she’s having therapy to stop her swiping the credit card as much.

She said on her Miss Me? podcast: “I’m just playing with my very large diamond and emerald ring. I bought myself a little present. It’s not really that little.”

She added: “I have a tiny little bit of success and I’m convinced I’m a billionaire and I have been shopping like an insane person, just all the time, all day long — shop, shop, shop. I’m hitting the shops hard.

“Definitely some handbags have been bought and some jewels have been bought and a car has been bought.”

then revealed that she’s had eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing therapy — which is used to help people get over trauma — to tackle it.

The Madeline singer explained: “The little voice is always there going, ‘You don’t deserve this, you’re crap, you’re a nepo baby, you don’t have any talent,’ and it’s hard to drown those voices out sometimes.

“But that’s why I buy so many handbags.

“I did EMDR therapy yesterday on my spending and how it is related to my sense of self-worth. And we tried to separate the two. So let’s see how that goes.”

She wrote her West End Girl album, all about the breakdown of her five-year marriage to actor , around 12 months ago.

That meant the singer and actress started 2025 in a bad way as she grappled with the end of her relationship, but she admitted things could hardly be better now.

Lily added: “Listen, it’s peaks and troughs — there are highs and lows.

“It has been brutal this year, but it has also been amazing. So I can’t complain.

“I am very, very happy.”

JUSTIN’S A-HA JIBE AT HARRY

THE DARKNESS frontman has attacked pop king – branding him “forgettable”.

The rocker also declared that Coldplay are just as dull. Justin accused the ex- singer of “producing a weak copycat tune to an A-Ha classic”.

Justin, whose hit Christmas Time (Don’t Let The Bells End) is still one of our favourites, feels that Harry’s 2022 mega-hit As It Was will not last the test of time.

Risking the wrath of Harry’s army of fans, Justin said: “In pure statistical terms, most music by definition is average and it doesn’t really move me.

“So there’s a load of stuff that you can just neglect.

“There are things that are so derivative of existing and very specific songs from the Eighties, that in 40 years time, you’ll still be singing the ones from the Eighties.

“That Harry Styles song, that’s Take On Me by A-ha but they started the chord sequence in a different place. It goes around the same four chords and it has a similar sort of motif on the synthesizer.

“But that song in 40 years will be completely forgotten and everyone will still be singing the A-ha one. And I think that’s fair.”

Turning his attention to Coldplay, who sold out a record ten nights at Wembley this summer, Justin added bluntly: “Nobody’s going to be singing Coldplay.

“I don’t care.”

But Canadian crooner Michael is hot on her heels, as he’s moved up into second place.

His album Christmas, which was first released in 2011, is selling fast.

Elsewhere it’s a moveable feast, with Jade Thirlwall’s That’s Showbiz Baby! jumping back into the top ten thanks to the release of a deluxe edition of the record, complete with its eight bonus tracks.

Ricky is top dog

JUST like me, is a massive animal lover.

And after he announced he was donating £2.5million from his last stand-up tour to animal charities, he headed to the All Dogs Matter Christmas party held at the Spaniards Inn, Hampstead, North London.

My mate Caroline was there with her pooch Freud, and told me Ricky was so taken with the fluffy heartbreaker that he asked to have this picture with him.

Good on you, Ricky. You’re a legend.
