IT has been seven years since Fleur East was last in the Top Ten with the hit Sax.
But now she’s planning her big musical comeback – with superstar DJ David Guetta.

In an exclusive interview fleur said: “I interviewed David a few times on Hits Radio and my co-host James Barr put me in and said, ‘David, Fleur can sing.’
“He went, ‘Can you DM me?’ and I sent him my Spotify.
“He came back to me and he said, ‘Oh my god, I didn’t know it was you? That’s crazy.’
“He said it would be great to work together. We’ve kept in touch, so keep an eye on this space.”
While she may not have been in the recording studio lately, Fleur is still busy with her music.
Speaking at the launch of Ring’s NeighbourGood Cafe in Hackney, East London, Fleur added: “A lot of my music is used in TV and advertising.
“My latest song, called Confidence, is being used for a new dating show Lovestruck High on Amazon.
“But this year I’m ready to release my music again, I’m eager to do it now.”
I look forward to hearing what you have, Fleur.
By Jupiter, that’s what Ed called baby
IF you thought Ed Sheeran‘s choice of name for his second daughter was a bit out of this world, you certainly weren’t alone.
And if you were wondering how British superstar and wife Cherry Seaborn came to choose Jupiterturns out the reason is actually quite sweet.

An insider said: “Ed has installed an observatory in the garden of their Suffolk home and really enjoys stargazing.
“Around the same time that Jupiter was conceived, the planet was visible from Earth and it was a very special time.
“Ed and Cherry both thought it appropriate when she became pregnant that Jupiter should be her name.
“They love the name, both in terms of what it stands for and its uniqueness.
“Everyone thinks Jupiter works perfectly for her.
“Behind closed doors, Cherry has done everything she can to become a mother again. She and Ed are truly a match made in heaven. Their family is beautiful.”
I first revealed that Ed and Cherry rejoined their family in Maywith the Shape Of You singer confirming they’d given their firstborn, Lyra Antarcticaa brother or sister.
And just as they did with Lyra, whose middle name was chosen after a trip to that continent just before she was conceived, the couple chose a name that meant something special to them.
Jupiter was born in May and friends told me how Ed and Cherry are completely immersed in that amazing newborn bubble.
As a parent I know how special this time is.
But with two toddlers under two, they will definitely have their hands full.
Ed is currently on the way and played a second big gig in Amsterdam last night, but gets a week off before kicking off his next round of gigs in Belgium this Friday.
Just enough time to come back and help with the diapers.
Lily is in dreamland
MUSIC takes a backseat to the front Lily Allen because she got another acting job, after her West End debut in the play 2:22 – A Ghost Story, last year.
She has been cast in a Sky Original comedy called Dreamland, which is due out next year, which will be her debut as a TV acting role.
The Smile singer has already started filming the six-part series in Margate opposite Doctor Who actress Freema Land.
Lily plays a woman who destroys her family after coming back into their lives.
As someone who has caused a lot of chaos over the years, that shouldn’t be too much.
Video is an obstacle for Demi

DEMI LOVATO dragged in celeb pal Paris Hilton for a cameo in the video for new single Substance – as well as a drag queen lookalike of her own.
The Former Disney Star poses on a motorcycle with socialite Paris in the clip, released yesterday.
But the video also features a surprising appearance from drag queen Demetria Cherry, who has gone viral in the past while impersonating Demi due to their striking resemblance.
In the spicy song, the American singer – who had a near-fatal overdose in 2018 – refers to how drugs were never satisfying.

Demi sings: “So I wonder, ‘Am I the only one looking for dust?’. I got high, it just left me lonely and loveless.
“Don’t want to end up in a coffin, head full of maggots.”
Speaking of the track, Demi said: “I’m so excited to share another taste of what’s in store for this album.
“We all recognize ourselves in looking for something more in life, and I want this song to make you feel like you’re having a damn good time doing it.”
It will be found on Demi’s eighth studio album Holy Fvck, due out August 19, featuring a collaboration called Freak with Doncaster-born rocker Yungblud.
Her new era is off to a strong start.
Ronan a passion killer
IT’S no wonder RONAN KEATING’s son Jack had to go to Love Island to seek romance – he was mortified to find someone closer to home.
The boy has vowed never to bring a girl back to his family path again after admitting that his pop star father overheard him having noisy sex.
Jack, who entered Casa Amor but found no love and now lives with his father again, said, “I’ll never bring a girl home again—not after last time.”
On his Magic Radio breakfast show, Ronan said, “I woke up in the middle of the night because Cooper, our five-year-old, is awake. So I put him back to bed.
“I’m laying there with Coops to calm him down and I hear noise coming from one of the other bedrooms. Loud screaming.
“I had to text Jack to say, ‘Son, do you think you can control it. Ask her to be a little quieter’.”
Sam has a movie plan

HE played his biggest headline show yet at London’s Finsbury Park last night, and now Fender itself dreams that his meteoric rise is turned into a big screen biopic.
The Seventeen Going Under singer thinks his rags-to-riches story would make the perfect movie and already knows who he’d like to play him.
Sam said, Who would I want, compared to who would play us, is probably very different. “I would like that kid who stars in American Horror Story, Evan Peters. That’s who I’d like to play, but I’m not that cool or sexy.
“I wish he played against me because he has that dead look behind his eyes that I have…
“In reality, they would probably get Michael Cera.”
While Sam is still a bit young for a Bohemian Rhapsody-style movie, a story about his rise to the top wouldn’t be boring.
James reveals Mick’s trick

MICK JAGGER can still run and sing on stage when he’s 78, and now I know how he does it.
James Bay, who de rolling stones touring in 2018, has shared how Mick does two-hour workouts before his concerts because he believes it helps his voice.
Reminiscing about his experience backstage at one of the shows, James said: “I was waiting and there is a six-foot curtain wall with loud Kanye West music pops out and someone screams.
“I kind of think, ‘What’s going on here?’
“One of their touring photographers said, ‘That’s Mick. He’s just working out. He has a personal trainer and does two hours before each show. He does sprints, he does serious cardio.
“He’s on his way to 80s and you’ll never guess.”
“Apparently it really helps his voice every night.”
Now James also does cardio for all his shows, but his sessions are not as intense as Mick’s.
He told the Straight Up podcast, “I said, ‘Well, I have to give it a shot’.
“I’m not in big stadiums, so I didn’t get the running track and personal trainer, but I did get a table tennis table.”
Bella’s boots are hot stuff

TEMPERATURES ONLY RISE Bella Hadid is busy knitted.
She wore thick wool socks with these boots to support half-sister Alana at an event for her fashion brand La Detresse in New York.
As if her footwear wasn’t warm enough in the 30-degree heat, she pulled a leather jacket over her mini dress.
Bella is usually seen with her model siblings Gigi and Anwar.
But Alana is from her father Mohammed’s first marriage, before he met Bella’s mother Yolanda.
Working in fashion must be in the genes of these children.
