Jess a quickie...

You know what they say... you wait ages for one rocketman and then two come along at once. And just as Buzz Lightyear was flying into the cinemas, Sir Elton John was flying into the UK for the first dates in his resumed Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.

It kicked off in Norwich (no word on whether Alan Partridge made the VIP list) and continues with another eight dates, including next week’s American Express Presents BST Hyde Park.

That gig includes a newly announced much-fancier-than-a-clap “augmented reality” tribute to the NHS.

It will take place during I’m Still Standing, but knowing Sir Elt’s excellent showmanshi­p, we’ll probably be floored.

We’d already seen Margot Robbie in character for the forthcomin­g Barbie movie.

And this week we finally got to see Ken... But don’t get too excited. Because even though he’s played by the delectable Ryan Gosling, he still has to look like the original character – aka a plastic, over-tanned, over-primped himbo.

If studio bosses are banking on the usual Gosling fans watching it in their droves, they really are in la-la land.

They should have just saved the cash and hired someone from TOWIE.

They could’ve walked straight on to set – without setting foot in wardrobe.

With eyes on Qatar, David Beckham’s been reliving the horror show of the 2006 World Cup. Yet it wasn’t us crashing out in the quarterfin­als that made him wince, but the WAGs infamously taking over Baden-Baden. He laughed: “Even Victoria, she’s the first to say now, ‘what was I doing, what was I wearing?’”

Um, I wouldn’t knock VB’s 2006 fashion, Becks. You were the one wearing your nana’s cardy.
