Watch: “This notion that somehow we would turn people away or we weren’t here for the city is about as false as can be.” -Pastor @JoelOsteen pic.twitter.com/bRPDqLUF0O

Pastor Joel Osteen says he would have gladly opened the doors of his megachurch to Houston residents fleeing Hurricane Harvey’s deadly rising floodwaters had the city asked him sooner.
During an appearance on Today, Wednesday, the celebrity televangelist explained why Lakewood Church (which can hold more than 16,000 people) didn’t initially welcome evacuees from the hurricane — a decision that brought a wave of criticism against Osteen.

[[tmz:video id="0_ixq9n0am"]] Conor McGregor's always ready to fight ... even when he's dancing. The Ufc superstar let the beat take hold at his sister Aoife's New Year's Eve wedding in Ireland -- and unleashed some dance moves that would even make Michael Flatley jealous. Dude gets so hyped, he starts throwing punches at one point ... while standing right next to Aoife's husband, Mark Elliott. Lucky for everyone, he didn't connect. Congrats! Read more...

The Skin I Live In (15)
(Pedro Almodóvar, 2011, Spa) Antonio Banderas, Elena Anaya, Jan Cornet, Marisa Paredes. 120 mins.
Almodóvar's silky skills and supreme confidence tempt respectable audiences into an elegantly twisted tale of surgical obsession that few others could pull off. It's best not to spell things out too much about this; suffice to say Banderas's project to create a new form of skin, with Anaya his captive guinea pig, doesn't go where you'd expect.
As usual, there's a lot going on beneath the surface.
One Day (12A)
(Lone Scherfig, 2011, Us) Anne Hathaway, Jim Sturgess, Rafe Spall. 108 mins.
Fans might not have had Hathaway's migratory trans-Pennine accent in mind when they fell in love with David Nicholls's calendar-crossing odd-couple romance on paper, and the equally wayward period details detract even further. A pity, given the promising material, but Grazia readers will lap it up just the same.

Why is it so hard to capture the energy of rock'n'roll on film? That's what Powder writer Kevin Sampson asked himself as he watched the Grams take to the stage
A crowd of some 50,000 edged forward with mild irritation as the Grams took to the stage. The lad next to me nudged his pal, their faces set in that certain way that has become ritual at music festivals over the years.
"Here come the whipping boys," said those faces. "Get the bottles of wee-wee ready."
It was quite some journey that had taken the Grams to this top-end-of-the-bill slot at the V Festival. Paolo Nutini had just finished, the Enemy were on next, with Oasis due to play what turned out to be their last-ever show later that night. So what were a band that doesn't actually exist doing up there on stage?
