‘Am I 68? 69?’ Irvine Welsh on growing old, getting clean, bashing out his new novel – and flirting with guns

-
Three decades after he channelled his heroin addiction into the cult classic Trainspotting, the Scottish author has discovered the joys of yoga, breathwork and standing desks. But is he quite as ‘Zen’ as he claims? By rights, Irvine Welsh ought to be photographed somewhere gritty, looking grumpy, he says: “That’s the brand.” Beside a graffitied wall or at the docks, with a beanie pulled low, and definitely not smiling. But here he is, clear-skinned and wholesome in shorts and a T-shirt, drinking tea and – it’s hard to think of anything more off-brand – talking about the health benefits of yoga. Given his reputation for having lived in the worlds his books portray, he should or could look a lot worse. He guffaws at this, eyes a delighted blue, and repeats the phrase as if he’s found a new personal tagline: “Could look a lot worse!” Over the three decades since his cult debut, Trainspotting, was published in 1993, Welsh’s fiction has explored with humour the darker side of life.

57-Year-Old Elizabeth Hurley showed a figure in a Bikini

-
Elizabeth Hurley is a great example for all girls. The 57-year-old actress is not shy about trying on bold looks, forcing women around the world to abandon the postulates of ageism. A new celebrity post proves it. The other day on social networks, Elizabeth posted a video in which she demonstrated a sports uniform in a tiny bikini of her own production. It's hard to argue that over the years, Hurley manages to look simply stunning: her figure does not seem to change at all with age. Moreover, fans agree that the star of the film "Blinded by Desires" has become even more beautiful over the years. "You are getting better day by day," Internet users noted. Early Elizabeth left fans speechless by wearing a Versace mini dress on her birthday. The dramatic low-cut look was inspired by the iconic look that the actress chose for the premiere of Four Weddings and a Funeral in 1994. Then Liz was just gaining popularity and was known mainly due to her affair with Hugh Grant. On the day of an important event, the girl tried to contact all the famous fashion houses to ask for an outfit for an important evening. But only Gianni Versace decided to agree to cooperate with a little-known actress. The next day, Hurley woke up famous all over the world, and her image became one of the cults and went down in fashion history. In a previous post, Gianni Versace was killed on the threshold of his mansion, which was the greatest loss for the fashion world. The Italian couturier, who loved to create clothes since childhood, built a huge empire that completely changed the industry: it was Gianni who turned models into trendsetters and transformed restrained looks from the 80s into maximalist and sexy bows of the early nineties.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
