It was a night when stars accepted awards in tracksuit bottoms, pyjamas and hoodies from rooms with too many doors, and the hosts presented from different coasts (albeit with a whizzy background to make them appear united). But despite heading into the 78th Golden Globes under a cloud of criticism over lack of diversity and dubious nomination choices , the ceremony was relatively hitch-free. Finishing (almost) on time, and with an admirable cast of winners (including a host of British stars) there were laughs, tears and glimpses of stars' homes across the world as Hollywood enjoyed its first big awards ceremony of 2021. We take a look at seven of the best bits of the night. Golden Globes updates: Here's what happened at the virtual ceremony Daniel, you're on mute!

Childhood sweethearts rekindle relationship after bumping into each other in Benidorm 34 years later
A PAIR of childhood sweethearts have rekindled their relationship after bumping into each other in a bar in Benidorm after 34 years apart. Gaynor Williams, now 50, was just 16 when she met 19-year-old Dean Ryan, now 53, at Memories bar in Chester, Cheshire, in 1986. The pair became a couple and dated for 18 months before they split in 1987 when Dean moved to Pontins, in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset, to become a performer. But 34 years later, in August 2019, they fell in love all over again after a chance meeting in a bar in Benidorm - where Dean lived and Gaynor was on holiday - and they have now started a new life together in Spain. Gaynor had just split up from her partner of 15 years and moved out of their shared home in Dunham Hill, Cornwall, when she took a week-long solo trip to Benidorm, Spain, in August 2019 to do some soul searching. The mum-of-one couldn't believe it when she saw her former childhood sweetheart, Dean, working as a singer in the Rock and Roll house … [Read more...] about Childhood sweethearts rekindle relationship after bumping into each other in Benidorm 34 years later
Brit says he ‘chopped off his penis NOT his rapper flatmate after he urged pal to film stunt for social media likes’
AN OXFORD University graduate insisted in court today he cut off his own penis and exonerated a flatmate accused of amputating it for £170 of any blame. Andrew B, 35, said Spaniard Aaron Beltran had nothing to do with the amputation. The 31-year-old rapper faces up to four and a half years in jail if convicted of wounding the English teacher on March 8, 2019, when the Brit was living and working in the northern Spanish city of Zaragoza. State prosecutors say Beltran agreed to slice off Andrew B's manhood with a 12-inch kitchen knife for a sliding scale payment based on the number of views a gory video of the amputation got online - starting at £173 (€200) and rising to a maximum of £2,164 (€2,500). They have accepted the British ex-pat wanted his penis sliced off because he suffered from gender dysphoria, but are arguing that does not exempt the Spaniard from criminal responsibility. But Andrew B, who claimed Beltran was to blame in one of his police interviews, said … [Read more...] about Brit says he ‘chopped off his penis NOT his rapper flatmate after he urged pal to film stunt for social media likes’
