Christina Aguilera dazzles in London by rewearing an iconic Versace dress for the theatrical premiere of ‘Burlesque: The Musical‘.

Christina Aguilera has made waves in London by appearing in an iconic Versace dress that she first wore over two decades ago. The American singer and producer attended a photocall at the Savoy Theatre for the premiere of ‘Burlesque: The Musical‘, donning a green design from the Italian house’s Autumn 2003 collection—a look she originally featured in during a photoshoot captured by Steven Meisel at the time.

Her appearance not only made a statement in terms of fashion but also conveyed a powerful message of timeless style, as Aguilera chose to wear such a meaningful piece from her career once again. The asymmetrical dress, with its lace corset and sweetheart neckline, was paired with knee-high black boots, dark makeup, and her signature platinum hair, resulting in a gothic yet glamorous...

Christopher Eccleston, the Ninth Doctor, is returning to the “Doctor Who” franchise in a brand new audio series next year.

The actor originally played the iconic sci-fi character in 2005 during the first season of the BBC series’ revival, and now is set to return 15 years later, albeit in a new format. A 12-episode audio series with Eccleston and a full cast will begin being released in May 2021.

“After 15 years it will be exciting to revisit the Ninth Doctor’s world, bringing back to life a character I love playing,” Eccleston said in a statement.

Christopher Eccleston is set for a Doctor Who comeback, and will again play the Ninth Doctor in a series of audio-only releases.

Big Finish Productions and BBC Studios announced the return of Eccleston, who appeared in 13 episodes when the television series relaunched in 2005. He will voice the Ninth Doctor in a series of 12 adventures contained in four box sets, with volume one scheduled for release in May 2021.

The Ninth Doctor is coming back to the Tardis, more than 15 years after Christopher Eccleston quit the newly revived Doctor Who after just one series in the lead role. BBC Studios and Big Finish have announced that Eccleston will lead the cast in a series of new audio adventures, the first volume of which is due to arrive in May 2021.

The behind-the-scenes difficulties that led to Eccleston’s exit from BBC One’s Doctor Who in 2005 are no secret, adding extra interest over the years to the regularly raised question of any potential return. Unlike his successor David Tennant, who returned alongside previous incumbent Tom Baker for 50th anniversary special The Day of the Doctor, Eccleston has not to date taken part in any multi-Doctor stories, anniversary celebrations or spin-offs. That makes this audio series a significant return for fans of the ninth Doctor.
