SEBASTIAN SHAKESPEARE: Sting's son's support act for sleepy dad: Bassist grabs some shut eye by using his shoulder as a head rest
Before he took to the stage in California this week, Sting, 65, made use of musician son Joe Sumners' shoulder for a bit of shut-eye
When Sting performed in California this week, his set was opened by his musician son Joe Sumner, 40, whose mother was the rock star’s first wife, actress Frances Tomelty.
Before he took to the stage, Sting, 65, made use of Joe’s shoulder for a bit of shut-eye. Sumner, who graduated in environmental science from Richmond, the American International University in London, plays in rock band Fiction Plane. Sting has four children by his second wife, Trudie Styler.
‘For me to be on this tour is easy because I have the connections,’ admits Joe.
‘But the emotional work I had to do to get to the place where I was OK with it was not easy.’ It’s a hard life.
Downton girls lose all sense of decorum!
Whatever would the Dowager Countess of Grantham say?
Laura Carmichael and Michelle Dockery couldn’t look more different from their onscreen counterparts in ITV’s costume drama Downton Abbey. The actresses were attending a party in Los Angeles, but they seem to have left their decorum back in Blighty.
Laura, 30, who played Lady Edith Crawley, was wearing funky boots and poured champagne into a tumbler — how uncouth.
Meanwhile, Dockery, 35, who was cast as her sister Lady Mary, was sporting skin-tight leather trousers and heels.
Last month, Lord Fellowes confirmed he has started working on a film based on the TV series.

Et tu, Mariella? Broadcaster Mariella Frostrup, 54, has joined the backlash against the much hyped multi-Oscar-nominated musical La La Land, co-starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.
‘This one-tune wonder with a couple of derivative dance numbers set in the world of make-believe they call Hollywood has to be one of the most banal movies of recent decades,’ she says. ‘If this forgettable musical scoops more awards than any other film in history, it will only confirm our desperation to escape the precarious real world.
‘I suspect that if it does triumph on both sides of the Atlantic, we’ll look back and shake our heads in wonder at our own crazy choices.’
Lettuce 'crisis'? Oh do get a grip, Tebbit tells baroness
A withering put-down in the House of Lords from Norman Tebbit after a Labour baroness, Lady Jones of Whitchurch, wittered that there was a ‘crisis’ if imported vegetables are not available in supermarkets.
Lord Tebbit said: ‘Any rational man or woman would think that to describe a shortage of lettuces as a crisis shows a lack of understanding of the meaning of the English language.’
When several peers leapt up to speak at the same time, it fell to the Leader of the Lords, Lady Evans, to adjudicate.
She earned a laugh by saying: ‘It is only fair if we hear from the Greens.’
Perhaps benefiting from its starring role in hit TV drama The Crown, the Castle of Mey is experiencing a tourist boom.
And now the Queen Mother’s former Scottish retreat has won permission for a luxurious guest house in the grounds.
An old granary building will be converted into ten bedrooms for guests. They may even bump into Prince Charles: he stays every August.
