The death of Friends star Matthew Perry has prompted an outpouring of grief from people worldwide, including Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau. The two went to school together at the Rockcliffe Park Public School in Ottawa, Canada, and Trudeau shared his sadness at Perry’s passing on X/Twitter. He said: “Matthew Perry’s passing is shocking and saddening. I’ll never forget the schoolyard games we used to play, and I know people around the world are never going to forget the joy he brought them. “Thanks for all the laughs, Matthew. You were loved – and you will be missed.” But among those “schoolyard games” was something altogether more violent, Perry admitted in 2017. Speaking on a talk show about his schooling, the Friends actor said: “My friend ... who was also in the fifth grade in Canada, reminded me that we actually beat up Justin Trudeau. “We both beat him up. I think he was excelling in a sport that we weren’t, so it was pure jealousy.” What’s more, Perry was playing with fire, because Trudeau’s father, Pierre, was prime minister at the time. Perry continued: “I think he was the only kid in school that we could beat up. “You know, I’m not bragging about this. This is terrible. I was a stupid kid, I didn’t want to beat him up.” And it seems like the fight stuck with Trudeau too, who took a rare opportunity one April Fools’ Day to challenge Perry to a rematch. He tweeted in 2017: “I've been giving it some thought, and you know what, who hasn't wanted to punch Chandler? How about a rematch?” Judging from the size of Trudeau’s security operation, which costs nearly £18m-a-year, according to CBC, he might have had some difficulty. Unsurprisingly, the actor never got back to his old schoolmate on that one.

View it as a treat or an overhyped trick, there's no escaping it: Halloween is almost upon us. Yes, it's time for that annual celebration of trying to outdo everyone else with an elaborate costume which has absolutely nothing to do with All Hallows' Eve. This year certainly hasn't been short of inspiration for anyone looking to make a statement. Maybe you could go dressed as the 'Barbenheimer' meme? Or Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce? If you aren't that into pop culture you could always buy a more offbeat outfit (spaghetti and meatballs, anyone?) Still, if none of the above tickles your fancy, you can at least feast your eyes on the latest celebrity offerings. The likes of Heidi Klum, Kendall Jenner, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and many, many others go above and beyond in their efforts to put on the best possible display for their fans. This year is no exception with the likes of Kourtney Kardashian, Hailey Bieber, Kim Petras and Adele all getting in on the act early. Here are the best from the celebrity world so far.

Matthew Perry, the actor best known for playing Chandler Bing in the beloved sitcom Friends, has died aged 54, according to numerous reports from the United States. Perry was reportedly found dead in a hot tub in his Los Angeles home on October 28th with police being called to his home at around 4pm. Although an investigation is ongoing there is said to be no signs of foul play. NBC, the network which aired all 10 seasons of Friends confirmed Perry's death in a statement. It read: "We are incredibly saddened by the too-soon passing of Matthew Perry. "He brought so much joy to hundreds of millions of people around the world with his pitch-perfect comedic timing and wry wit. His legacy will live on through countless generations." Tributes have since poured in for Perry from across the celebrity and media world as his admirers come to terms with his untimely passing. Elsewhere, fans have been flocking to the actor's final Instagram post which was shared just six days ago. Coincidentally the post features Perry in a hot tub at night with headphones on. The caption for the post reads: "Oh, so warm water swirling around makes you feel good? I'm Mattman." Mattman was a reference to an apparent obsession that Perry had with the superhero Batman. The post has since been flooded with comments from heartbroken fans, with some pointing out the unfortunate connection between the image and Perry's death. One wrote: "This caption is so eerie now, 6 days later. So scary. Rest in Peace man." Another said: "His last post was in the same place he died. So devastating. Rest in peace." Others shared how much Friends and Perry had meant to them. One fan said: "Rest in peace Matthew. The show F.R.I.E.N.D.S was/is a huge part of my life. Thank you for being in it. I learned English watching it. Now watching the show will be a little sad knowing you are gone." Another added: "Your show was my safe show for many years and I will continue to watch it and appreciate every moment of laughter and brightness you brought to that show. My heart is with your family and friends." How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Kim Kardashian has just unveiled a new bra as part of her Skims clothing brand that bizarrely features in-built nipples that are permanently hard for whoever is wearing the item. The garment dubbed 'The Ultimate Nipple Bra' was announced in a humourous pastiche video, with the bra giving off the illusion that the person is always cold when wearing the bra no matter the temperature. Although it might sound a bit too strange to be real there is actually a lot of thought gone into the bra which is set to be released on October 31st. The item is actually aiming to raise awareness on climate change, which should be obvious from the promo video. 43-year-old Kardashian says in the ad: "The earth’s temperature is getting hotter and hotter. Sea levels are rising. The ice skeets are shrinking. I’m no scientist, but I believe everyone can do their skillset to do their part. “That’s why I’m introducing a brand-new bra with a built-in nipple so matter how hot it is, you’ll always look cold. Some days are hard but these nipples are harder. And unlike the icebergs, these aren’t going anywhere.” However, despite being for a good cause the odd nature of the ad and the even stranger bra has caused people to question just whether this is real at all. However many hailed the move as genius as it could help many people as well as raise climate awareness. A small proceed of the bra's sales will go to the climate change organisation '1% for the Planet' - which is a global network of businesses all working to build towards a better future for the planet.
