Drake cancelled two of his concerts after getting "ill so fast". The 'God's Plan' hitmaker was forced to reschedule two of his shows of his Aubrey and The Three Migos tour in Miami last Friday and Saturday after falling ill.

He wrote on his Instagram story: "I just wanted to say how sorry I am about these two Miami shows. I got so ill so fast, and I had never experienced anything like that in my life. Unlike other show cancellations or date adjustments due to production issues this one fell on me, and I just want to apologise because I hate letting down anyone who come to share these moments with us. Thank you, God, for allowing me to recover and continue. On we go."

Drake's two concerts in Miami have been rescheduled for November 13 and 14.

Reese Witherspoon is "happiest" in the south. The Big Little Lies star may have travelled all over the world for her job, but she still says her favourite place is her hometown of Nashville.

She said: "When I was a little girl in pigtails and Coke-bottle glasses, I imagined that when I one day left the South, I would see the world and do important things. Well, I didn't become president, but I did become president of a production company that makes movies and TV shows with strong female characters. And I have travelled all around the world, to places I never dreamt I'd go. Still, now that I've seen the world, you know where I'm happiest? In the South. In Nashville. Surrounded by friends. Listening to country music. A glass of sweet tea in one hand and a barbecue sandwich in the other. Back when I was younger, I fought to lose my accent. But today I'm so proud of where I'm from."

And the 42-year-old actress loves finding new ways to "conjure up the South's spirit" wherever she is in the world.

Writing in her book Whiskey in a Teacup, as shared in The Sunday Times magazine, she added: "Over the years I've found ways to conjure up the South's spirit wherever I happen to be. I take it everywhere I go, with bluegrass, big holiday parties and plenty of Dorothea's fried chicken. It's become sort of an obsession of mine, spreading the gospel of southern living. My southern heritage informs my whole life - how I value generosity, how I decorate my house, not to mention how

I talk, dance and do my hair. Southern women are famous for big hair."

Amber Rose insists mothers can still be "sexy". The 34-year-old model - who has son Sebastian, five, with ex-husband Wiz Khalifa - thinks it is "sad" that some women feel they have to change their image after having children.

She said: "Being a mother is the greatest gift, but I think it's a huge double-standard that you can't be a mother and be sexy - of course you can.

"The idea that you can be one but not the other is very small-minded.

"It's sad that people feel like they cannot shine in their authentic light because society has boxed you into only one category."

And Amber - who is dating 23-year-old basketball player Monte Morris - thinks sex is a very important part of life and everyone deserves pleasure.

She said: "Sex is a huge part of any romantic connection.

"Everyone should be allowed pleasure.

"And sex toys help to enhance the journey of self-exploration and self-pleasure."
