Before Its Infashion

The 1964 film starring Dame Julie Andrews and Dick van Dyck is a much-loved classic, known for its catchy songs and tap-dancing routines.

The Hollywood Reporter confirmed the new tale will be set around 20 years after the original and will be based on the books by Poppins creator PL Travers.

The film will again be a musical, although a reboot of songs like Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious is not guaranteed.

It is not known who will step into Andrews' iconic shoes for the lead role but Rob Marshall, who directed Into The Woods and Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides for Disney, will lead the project.

Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman, who worked on Hairspray and Smash, will compose new original songs.

Walt Disney and Ms Travers had a famously rocky relationship, which has been documented in the Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson film Saving Mr Banks.

The British author did not want her books to be turned into animated musicals.

It is understood Disney is working with her estate ahead of the new movie.

Disney is working on a number of other remakes of classic films including The Jungle Book and an Aladdin prequel.

Actress Louisa Moritz and model Beverly Johnson are among those who were interviewed for the special which airs on A&E on Thursday night.

The women are expected to detail the claims made against the entertainer and the damage to Cosby's career and image in Cosby: The Women Speak.

More than two dozen women have accused Cosby of sexually assaulting them, sometimes after they had been drugged.

A defamation suit in Massachusetts and a civil sexual-assault case in California are pending.

Cosby, who has never been charged with a crime, has acknowledged having sex with many women and obtaining Quaaludes to use during sex. He has denied some of the claims.

Earlier this week it emerged that the 78-year-old has asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit by a event organiser AIG which is seeking to avoid paying for his defence against defamation claims by some of the women.

AIG sued Cosby in Massachusetts and California in June over homeowner's insurance policies it issued to him in those states.

It said these provide coverage for personal injury claims, which include defamation, but not for personal injury claims arising from "sexual, physical or mental abuse".

Cosby is defending against defamation lawsuits by Tamara Green, Therese Serignese, Linda Traitz in Massachusetts, and the model Janice Dickinson in California, spurred by denials by the entertainer or his representatives of claims of sexual misconduct.

In a Monday filing in the federal court in Springfield, Massachusetts, Cosby said he would face "substantial prejudice" by being forced to defend simultaneously against AIG over the policies, and against the women over the defamation claims.

"Forcing Mr Cosby to fight a four-front battle would demonstrate AIG's complete disregard for the best interests of Mr Cosby," his lawyers wrote.

"Not only does AIG's action bolster the underlying plaintiffs, who will perceive Mr Cosby as under attack even from his supposed backers, but it splits Mr Cosby's focus and drains his resources."

The Read All About It singer, whose real name is Stephen Manderson, said he wants children to be taught about mental illness at school.

The 31-year-old's father took his own life when the singer was 24 and he has written lyrics about how it affected him.

"I think kids should be introduced to it from an early age so it's not something they're embarrassed to talk about," he said.

"The first thing people think about when you say 'mental health' is that first word, 'mental, mental, crazy'. That stigma still exists everywhere."

He said he has realised the "importance of using my voice for something other than self-benefit".

Green, who is married to Made In Chelsea star Millie Mackintosh, has written a biography, called Lucky, about his rise to fame after nearly losing his life when he was stabbed in the neck with a glass bottle.

"Some might call me lucky for having been stabbed. I look at it as being extremely lucky for still being here.

"The bottle went right past my carotid, it actually stopped at my jawbone.

"It was only that it was a bottle so there was two sides to it that it actually stopped."

The American singer received three nods for her single Bad Blood alone.

Justin Bieber follows closely behind with six nominations, boosted by the global success of his chart-topping track What Do You Mean?

Ed Sheeran has been named in four categories, including best UK and Ireland act, best male, best live act and best world stage.

Having announced their plans for a hiatus after their fifth album, One Direction - Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles and Louis Tomlinson - are up for three prizes, for best UK and Ireland act, best pop and biggest fans.

The four-piece will face Swift, Bieber, 5 Seconds Of Summer and Ariana Grande in the battle for the best pop act.

Other British stars who are up for prizes include Ellie Goulding, James Bay, Mark Ronson and Jess Glynne, but their nods pale in comparison to Swift.

Little Mix were chosen by fans to be the wildcard in the best UK and Ireland act category.

The nominees were announced through MTV's Snapchat Discover channel, and fans can cast their votes at mtvema.com

The 2015 MTV EMAs will take place at the Mediolanum Forum in Milan on Sunday 25 October.

Caroline Noakes MP, who heads the All Parliamentary Group on Body Image, said legislation should be considered if a voluntary code of conduct is not effective.

Several countries are demanding models should have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18 - 18.5 to take part in shows.

But the British Fashion Council insists BMI is not an accurate measurement for young women and the focus is on looking after models and encouraging health and wellbeing with nutritious food and drink provided backstage.

Rosie Nelson, 23, a naturally thin model who is a clothes size 8 to 10 with a BMI below the recommended level, said: "Personally, my BMI is less than 18, so if they brought in a standard, I would be rejected straight away. 

"I think almost 90% of models have a BMI of less than 18, so every model would be out of a job. When I look in the mirror I see someone that is healthy and I am living by my own standard. I eat balanced meals, so I think I look good and healthy".

But at Hughes Models, a Plus-Sized Agency in Central London, women believe the catwalk should reflect people of all shapes and sizes.

Elia Thompson, who modelled at the UK Plus Size Fashion Week said: "I definitely feel different body types should be represented because the world is filled with so many body shapes.

"They should look at the different brands and how much is sold so that they can decide".

Earlier this year France became the latest country to vote to criminalise the use of models who are dangerously thin. Those breaking the law face fines and up to six months in jail. Ms Noakes is pushing for Britain to follow suit.

As the industry eagerly awaits London Fashion Week the so-called size zero debate is again high on the agenda, with many insisting new legislation is the only thing that can force change.

The 72-year-old was sunbathing on her private terrace at her villa in Estepona when she got up, lost her balance and fell.

A post-mortem examination revealed she was knocked unconscious and died of a stroke.

She would not have suffered, a family statement added.

Black's three sons say they are "devastated by the sad loss of our mother".

They said: "We have been deeply touched by all the kind messages of support from her friends, fans, the public and media.

"We would like to thank everyone, especially the people of Liverpool. The tributes and condolences have really helped us through these difficult times.

"The Spanish authorities have now told us we are able to bring Mum home, which we hope to do as quickly as possible. We would also like to thank all those involved for their assistance with this matter. We respectfully request for our continued privacy to grieve."

Funeral details have yet to be released.

The Sherlock star's run of shows at the Barbican has become one of the most hotly anticipated performances in recent years.

Tickets have already sold out but theatre staff are expecting crowds of the actor's fans, known as Cumberbitches, to turn up at the theatre from Wednesday.

A spokeswoman said they have put plans in place to make sure people queuing for tickets will be safe and comfortable.

But adoring fans have been warned that waiting outside the Stage Door will not reward them with a moment with the actor.

"We are advising all ticket holders that Benedict Cumberbatch won't be able to sign autographs afterwards and that our staff can't accept deliveries at Stage Door or Box Office," the spokeswoman told Sky News.

Cumberbatch stars alongside Sian Brooke as Ophelia and Ciaran Hinds as Claudius in Lyndsey Turner's production which will run for 12 weeks until 31 October.

It is thought some fans are flying from as far away as New Zealand, where Cumberbatch filmed The Hobbit, to see him on stage.

Sky News approached his representative for a comment about how he is feeling ahead of the show but was told he is "too busy rehearsing".

Thirty £10 day tickets will be available for each performance which will be sold from the advance ticket desk in the Barbican Centre from 10.30am every day.

There may also be returned or late release tickets available on the day of the performance.

In 2012 Cumberbatch told the Daily Telegraph he had been "interested" in the role of the Danish Prince for a while.

He follows in the footsteps of many other British actors including David Tennant, Jude Law and Simon Russell Beale.

The release of the song, titled The Snow And Ice Dance, is causing controversy in China and around the world.

The twinkly opening bars of the song will sound very familiar to the millions of people who have watched the Disney movie.

:: Listen to Let It Go here

The tempo and mood of the Chinese song can definitely be compared to that of Idina Menzel's Oscar-winning song.

Let It Go has been one of the biggest ear-worms of the past year or so after the film became Disney's most successful ever.

So while it is not known if the similarity was a deliberate decision, it has certainly annoyed some people.

One user wrote on the video's YouTube page: "Let it fake, let it fake. The copyright never bothered me anyway........."

Another person wrote: "Nice rip off, do you Chinese have ANY originality at all? Or do you just copy everything everyone else makes/produces and do it much cheaper?"

The Snow And Ice Dance is one of 10 official songs for the games, which were awarded to Beijing on Friday.

There have been some concerns about the decision, considering the city is not known for its heavy snowfall.

Perhaps Princess Elsa will be able to help out with that ...

The singer and actor said he has a monthly income of $185,000 (£118,000), which is mainly from royalties and interest on his investments.

However, he stated that he pays $72,000 (£46,000) a month to maintain his mansion in Hartford, Connecticut, including $5,000 (£3,200) a month on gardening.

50 Cent filed for bankruptcy last month after jurors in New York ordered him to pay $7m (£4.4m) to a woman who said he posted a narrated sex tape she made with a boyfriend online.

His court filing on Monday says he owes money to his stylist, barber and fitness coach.

The rapper was born Curtis Jackson III.

His album Get Rich Or Die Tryin' helped make him one of the world's best-selling artists.

He is due back in bankruptcy court Wednesday.
