John Lydon, the iconic frontman of the Sex Pistols, has publicly criticized the Irish hip-hop trio Kneecap for their controversial statements, including a call to 'kill your local MP.' During an appearance on ITV's 'Good Morning Britain,' Lydon expressed his disdain for the group's violent rhetoric, stating, 'If you're advocating the death of another human being, then you have no cause whatsoever. You are my enemy from here on in for the rest of your mediocre existence.'

Lydon's comments come as Kneecap faces scrutiny from UK counter-terrorism officers over the remarks made during a 2023 gig in London. The group has since apologized, claiming their words were taken out of context and denying any intent to incite violence. However, Lydon remained unconvinced, suggesting that Kneecap might 'need a bloody good kneecapping,' a remark that underscores his frustration with their approach.

The controversy has sparked a broader discussion about the line between provocative art and harmful rhetoric. Lydon, no stranger to controversy himself, pointed out the irony of being both criticized and celebrated by the establishment during the Sex Pistols' heyday. He dismissed any comparison between his band's anti-establishment stance and Kneecap's recent actions, emphasizing the importance of not making enemies of fellow human beings.

As the debate continues, Kneecap's future remains uncertain, with their statements under investigation. Meanwhile, Lydon's outspoken criticism serves as a reminder of the punk legend's enduring influence and his willingness to speak his mind, even when it means calling out those who might see themselves as his successors.

British actor Callum Turner and pop superstar Dua Lipa have captured public attention with their whirlwind romance that began in January 2024 and culminated in an engagement confirmed in June. The couple's relationship timeline includes key public milestones, from being spotted together after the 'Masters of the Air' premiere in London to making their red carpet debut at the 2025 Met Gala. Their journey from initial meeting to engagement has unfolded over approximately 18 months, with both stars navigating demanding careers while building their personal connection.

The couple's first encounter reads like something from a romantic screenplay. Turner, 35, revealed to The Times that they finally met at a mutual friend's birthday party in Los Angeles after experiencing several 'near-misses' where their paths almost crossed but didn't. The most remarkable aspect of their initial meeting occurred when they sat next to each other and discovered they were both reading the same book, Hernán Díaz's 'Trust,' and had both just finished the first chapter. Turner described the moment as cinematic, noting that they realized they were 'on the same page' both literally and figuratively.

Maintaining a relationship between two high-profile careers requires strategic effort, and Turner has shared insights into how they manage the challenges of long-distance dating. The actor emphasized the importance of making time for each other regardless of busy schedules, stating their motto is 'it's never not worth it.' He recounted a recent instance where he flew to Boston for just two days to see Lipa between her tour commitments and his filming schedule, despite feeling exhausted. The couple relies heavily on FaceTime to stay connected and prioritizes creating meaningful memories during their limited time together.

Before their fateful meeting, Turner and Lipa experienced what he describes as multiple 'sliding doors' moments that nearly prevented their connection. The actor detailed one specific instance where Lipa left a party at 1:45 AM and he arrived at 2:00 AM, missing each other by mere minutes. These near-misses spanned several occasions involving mutual friends and shared social circles. Turner expressed gratitude that when they finally did meet under the right circumstances, he immediately recognized Lipa as 'the most beautiful woman in the world,' setting the stage for a relationship that would quickly progress from dating to engagement.
