A sneak peak at Cats, the film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber and TS Elliot's infamous musical, has dropped and the reactions have been less than positive.

The clip offers us the first footage of the all-star casts in all their feline glory, created using motion capture techniques which director Tom Hooper (The King's Speech) refers to as 'digital fur technology'.

The incredible cast includes Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson, Jason Derulo, Judi Dench, Taylor Swift, James Corden, Ian McEllen, Rebel Wilson and Idris Elba, who all belt our the film's anthems.

Unfortunately, the first furry glimpses of the upcoming live-action remake have left some viewers unhappy after the feline creatures were described online as 'cursed' and nightmarish.

The transmogrified CGI human-cat hybrids were unveiled last night, with the Universal Pictures film landing in cinemas on December 20 of this year.

Hamilton Tony winner Andy Blankenbuehler choreographs the movie, having worked on the 2016 Broadway revival. Lloyd Webber has also apparently written a new song for the film.

Many viewers found the mutated dancing cats to be troubling to watch. The story revolves around a tribe of cats called the Jellicles, which faces a series of challenging life-altering choices one fateful night.

Fans didn't appreciate beloved actors in CGI feline form, especially the revered cinema veteran Judi Dench:

Many Twitter users wondered why the stars didn't just wear catsuits, like in the stage show. The word 'abomination' was even used…

"A demented dream ballet" is possibly one of the greatest phrases we've heard yet: 

Important questions were raised: 

Conspiracy theories were introduced:

The working world ceased to exist for a moment from the distraction:

Some even wondered if the trailer was so horrifying, it could bestow a curse on all who watched it:

The only positive taken from the whole thing is that Grumpy Cat died just in time to never have to witness the terror:

We're not even sure if we'd make it through the cinematic experience of the movie, would you be willing to see the flick this December?

If it's in 3D, God help our souls. Fur-get it as soon as your eyes witness Taylor Swift as a cat wearing kitten heels.

Hilarious TV comedy series Gavin and Stacey won the hearts of the nation when it aired between 2007 and 2010, but nostalgia is firmly on everyone's minds at the moment with the Spice Girls and Westlife touring.

Speaking of nostalgia, why not bring back the Bafta-winning sitcom for a one-off Christmas special? 

James Corden shared an image of the script to his Twitter and Instagram account, stoking up fans everywhere;

"Ruth Jones and I have been keeping this secret for a while… We’re excited to share it with you. See you on Christmas Day."

The show's premise featured a long-distance relationship between a girl from South Wales and an Essex boy, and it was the show that launched the careers of James Corden and Ruth Jones.

The BBC have confirmed the announcement, saying it was "hugely excited" to welcome the show back to BBC One.

Corden and Jones, who co-wrote and co-starred in the hit show, said in a joint statement that;

"Over the last 10 years we've talked a lot about Gavin and Stacey – where they might be today and what their lives might look like. So in secret we took the plunge and wrote this one hour special. We've loved revisiting Barry and Essex again, and bringing the characters back together has been a joy.

"We're so excited to get the chance to work with our fabulous cast and crew once more and to give fans of the show a festive treat this Christmas."

Cast-mates Mathew Horne and Joanna Page, who play the titular couple, will also return for the special as well sa Rob Brydon, Larry Lamb, Melanie Walters and Alison Steadman.

The town of Barry in Wales was broadcast to the masses, and the witty one-liners of the series became iconic. The warm and relatable characters had audiences gripped from the start.

An astonishing 10.3 million viewers tuned in for the show's 2010 New Year's Day finale, which was a BBC record. The series won a slew of awards, and featured cameos from memorable British names.

We can't wait to see what's become of Nessa, Smithy and the whole gang.

There's no doubt about it: Ariana Grande is absolutely smashing the music industry right now.

From releasing two number one albums within six months and winning a Grammy to breaking records set by none other than the Beatles; she's achieved a huge amount in a short space of time.

She recently surprised adorable tween Filipino boy band TNT on yesterday's Late Late Show With James Corden, and opened up about her personal life.

Ariana has just broken an incredible record; Grande is the first artist since the Beatles to hold the number one album slot and Billboard Hot 100 top-three single slots at once, with 7 Rings, Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored and Thank U, Next.

Corden rattled off the crazy statistics while Grande responded with humble graciousness and no less than 13 “sorrys,” “I’m sorrys,” and “I’m so sorrys.” It's the new "yuh".

Grande laughed along with the talk show host after the overwhelming achievements, and assured him, “I’ll take a break after this. I’ll go away for a little, I promise.”

Thank God, Corden spoke on behalf of us all when he responded with, “We don’t want you to,” but Grande was quick to reply, “I do! I’m tired of my voice.”

The 25-year-old star added that recently, “I usually don’t have anything to do …Personal life is still nonexistent,” and that she was planning on celebrating the Billboard records by going out to dinner with her mom or recording more in the studio.

The gal has an insane work ethic, and can do no wrong it would seem. 2019 is most definitely the Year of the Grande, and her tour starts in four weeks. We WISH we had tickets to see the queen perform in person.

Carry on slayin' the game Ari, we say "yuh" instead of "I'm sorry" because you should NEVER apologise for your hard-earned success. Get it, gurl.

In case anyone wants to hear more about the sh*t-show that was Fyre Fest, we HIGHLY recommend the Netflix documentary.

The whole thing was insanity, but models and influencers who shared those infamous orange tiles to their Instagrams were paid a huge amount to do so, despite knowing nothing about the actual festival.

Rumour has it that Kendall Jenner was paid a whopping $250,000 for her post marketing the campaign, which is madness, but Hailey Baldwin has revealed that she gave her pay to charity. 

The model and wife of Justin Bieber was a guest on James Corden's US talk show game Spill Your Guts, but remained candid on how much the actual amount was… which was probably wise.

While she did refuse to reveal the digits, she replied: "I’m not going to share but it made for a very generous donation to charity." Not one to let things go easily, Corden joked; "You gave the money away after you saw how… great it was." 

Hailey had to laugh that one off, saying nervously, "Yes, I did." The chat show host made sure to call the 22-year-old supermodel 'noble' for her efforts. We're glad something good came out of the whole thing.

Baldwin and a group of models were flown out to the Bahamas, including Bella Hadid and Kendall Jenner, in April 2017 to film a promotional video for the music festival.

The event was created by rapper Ja Rule and entrepreneur Billy McFarland using fraudulent funding on McFarland's part, who was arrested and sentenced to six years in prison.

He was let out on $300,000 bail but continued to create fraudulent businesses while on probation, awaiting trial.

Recent reports now state that Hailey and Bella Hadid, and influencers involved in the festival who are represented by IMG modelling agency would be subpoenaed as part of the criminal investigation into the disastrous event, which was later cancelled.

Billboard claim that the subpoenas aim to discover more about the reported $1.4 million budget that Fyre allegedly had to book artists and talent.

McFarland allegedly spent $10 million on the music festival, despite the chaos of no accommodation, water, food or artists.

We really needed news like this in our lives right now, with all the negative news swirling around our auras, sucking the healthy energy from us.

All we want is a cleanse, and Taylor has delivered once again.

Not alone has she given fans her Reputation tour documentary on Netflix (breathtaking, BTW), she has now confirmed her role in the brand new Cats movie. MEOW GAL.

The singer posed next to a sign plastered with her character’s name, Bombalurina, and captioned it with a simple 'Meow'. Needless to say, the post garnered over one million likes in a matter of hours.

We. Are. Purring.

The Delicate singer will be starring alongside James Corden, Jennifer Hudson, Ian McKellen and Rebel Wilson in the upcoming movie, developed by Working Title.

Her co-star Idris Elba, who is clearly Team Tay-Tay, is already singing her praises.

The duo took to the Golden Globes stage together to present a few weks ago, with the Luther star saying she "has got chops" and "holds her own". Damn right she does.

Elba spoke about working with the multi-talented artist;

"Taylor and I have known each other for a couple of years and we’re cool you know. She’s a good girl; she’s a great artist and she’s got a really great heart," he said.

"I’m so excited to work with her in this film, she’s going to be amazing." Obvi?

Taylor has been candidly dating actor Joe Alwyn for the last two years, maybe she'll get some acting tips off her beau?

Thank U, Next has been on everyone's lips and we ADORE the self-empowering message Ari is belting out.

And then Ariana dropped that iconic video and it's all anyone has been talking about. 

But we may have just found a parody of the music video that might rival the masterpiece.

Everyone welcome to the stage: James Corden's Thank u, Jeff.

In a segment for The Late Late Show with James Corden, the host takes on the smash hit.

Trolling the pop song, James is rocking some silk pjs, with a burn book of his own dedicated to Jeff Goldblum.

The lyrics are genius and Jeff takes over the role that Kris Jenner stole in Ariana's version.

James also includes the bend and snap, a sexy piano sequence and a pillow fight.

I'm not sure if we will ever get the image of James humping his bedroom carpet out of our head – but the video is pure brilliance.

Even Ariana loved the parody and asked for the Thank U, Jeff book.

Replying to the video on Twitter, the singer wrote: "Omg…may I please…Please for Christmas have the Thank U, Jeff book? It's for a friend, promise."

I've re-watched the video more times than I care to admit – just amazing.

Get ready to sing, Ariana Grande is popping on her seat belt to take part in James Corden's famous sing-along.

The TV personality leaked a printed copy of the lyrics on Twitter to hint at Ariana's appearance.

Brushing up on hitting those high notes, James captioned the picture, "learning these…"'

'No Tears Left to Cry' and 'God is a Woman' lyrics are seen in his snap and we are living for James' take on the smash hits.

In response Ariana retweeted the host and joked by saying: “Sick what for.”

James' tweet may have come as a surprise to The Late Late Show which the segment is on.

The official Instagram teased the host by reposting his picture, along with “that time James leaked the next #carpoolkaraoke.”

The celebrities have all had their famous tunes revamped into a more intimate karaoke style with James.

The segment is now a staple in the programme after its 2015 debut.

The date of Ariana's appearance has not been released, but speculation indicates it will be this month.

Her involvement in the programme is thought to come in conjunction with the launch of her album, Sweetener.

Get pumped as her new music drops next week.

This album is a huge moment for the singer as it's the first time she has released a new album since the Manchester Bombings.

We cannot wait to sing our hearts out to the new tunes.

And, of course we are looking forward to the raw versions of our fav Ariana Grande beats. 

Over the last year, Ariana has been honest and open about how hard the bombings have impacted her personal and professional life.

She even got a tattoo of the worker bee in honour of the 22 people who tragically lost their lives at her 2017 concert.

Earlier this week, James Corden announced he had become a father for the third time.

Taking to Twitter, he revealed that his wife, Julie, had given birth to a baby girl, but the British star chose not to disclose whether or not the couple had decided upon a name for the newborn yet.

And it seems this may have been because he knew the story behind it would make for a much better opening monologue, as he proved when he returned to the set of The Late Late Show this week.

"We still haven’t chosen a name for her yet,” James revealed. “After the baby was born, I was crying, my wife was crying her eyes out, the baby’s crying, and the doctor asked about a name."

"I don’t know why I said it, but I looked at the doctor and said, ‘We’re going to call her ‘Beyoncé’.’

To the sound of uproarious laughter, James confirmed that while his wife wasn't impressed by the joke, medical staff took the 39-year-old seriously and began filling out paperwork in relation to the child's arrival.

After realising a nurse was adding the name to his daughter's form, James told the audience: “I had to go over to her and say, ‘Excuse me, there is only one Beyoncé,’

Take a look at this….

Congratulations are in order this morning as James Corden took to Twitter to celebrate the arrival of his third child with wife Julia Carey.

The British star, who is dad to six-year-old Max and three-year-old Carey, sounded utterly overwhelmed as he announced the family's newest addition to his legions of fans and followers.

"Today we welcomed a beautiful baby daughter into the world," he wrote in a post which has been liked more than 96,000 times in mere hours. 

"Both she and her mother are doing great. We can’t stop smiling. Thank you Harry for stepping in to host the show at 2 and a half hours notice!"

Interestingly, many of James' followers seemed more interested in which 'Harry' the chat show host was referring to, with many crossing their fingers for a certain Mr Styles.

"James, you can’t just tweet this without specifying which harry you’re talking about (it better be styles)," wrote one while another added: "It better be Mr.Harry Styles or I’m never talking to you again."

Thankfully, some Twitter users knew to focus on James' bigger announcement, with one writing: "Congrats James!!! I’m glad she’s healthy and everything went well."

"I’ve been basically crying all day, finally pulled myself together," James said in response to the family's latest arrival.

Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts is fast becoming our favourite Late Late Show segment with James Corden.

However, given how media-savvy today's stars are, we're often left hoping they'd open up just a little bit more.

And while Kim Kardashian has made an entire career out of sharing the most private aspects of her life with the wider world, we didn't imagine she'd be much craic when it came to James' Hollywood version of Truth or Dare.

Turns out we were wrong.

In addition to admitting she thinks Khloé is the worst dressed of her siblings, she also got James to reveal which of her sisters he dislikes the most.

And OK, she may have passed on the pregnancy question, but props for everything else…

Twitter was up in arms last night after TV presenter, James Corden, kicked off a charity gala with a joke about alleged sexual offender, Harvey Weinstein.

Taking to the stage in front of a number of Hollywood A-listers including Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks, James made light of the serious allegations made against the famed producer.

Speaking to the crowd, he said: “It’s a beautiful night here in LA. So beautiful, Harvey Weinstein has already asked tonight up to his hotel to give him a massage.”

Understandably, the 'joke' was met with mixed reaction, with many believing the gag was in poor taste.

Realising he may have upset some members of the audience, the host responded with:  “I don’t know whether that groan was because you like that joke or you don’t like that joke.”

“If you don’t like that joke, you should probably leave now.”

At this point, we're thinking 'James, just quite while you're ahead' – but alas, he continued to rub salt in the wound.

“It has been weird this week though, watching Harvey Weinstein in hot water.”

“Ask any of the women who watched him take a bath, it’s weird watching Harvey Weinstein in hot water.”

“Harvey Weinstein wanted to come tonight, but he’ll settle for whatever potted plant is closest.”

Of course, the jokes were widely condemned on Twitter, with some accusing the star of belittling the bravery of all the women that have come forward so far.

From Pretty Woman to Stepmom, it's fair to say that Julia Roberts has earned herself some pretty impressive acting credits over the years.

And on Wednesday night, television viewers were treated to a little taster of every single one.

Appearing on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Julia Roberts recreated some of the most famous scenes of her career, for a segment James has cleverly coined, Role Call.

With the help of a green screen, props, and a very enthusiastic host, the actress took fans on a trip down memory lane, starting in Notting Hill.

The 10-minute clip also paid tribute to films like Closer, Erin Brockovich, My Best Friend's Wedding, and Pretty Woman, to name just a few. 

The sketch even gave a nod to Julia's upcoming film, Wonder, which has yet to be released.

“Oh I haven't seen it yet, when does it come out?" he asked Roberts, who replied, "Wonder is coming out November 17!”

Check out the full clip below:
