Idris Elba is the boy-done-good from Hackney. So stratospherically good, in fact, that he’s part of the Hollywood A-list, with the likes of Beyoncé, Jay-Z, Russell Crowe, Madonna (more about her later) and Sean Penn on his speed dial. We don’t need an excuse to dowse his dark depths but, as this week sees the release of his latest London-set movie, 100 Streets , it would seem rude not to engage our Witch Twitch. Deep Roots Despite making a healthy crust from what is essentially pretending to be someone else, the rune stones show Idris has his feet firmly planted in reality. His East End roots run deep and as such provide him with the swagger, style, gritty glamour, and, of course, that distinct vernacular that has helped turn this Newham-born geezer into an international player. However, our Witch Twitch warns that Idris needs to beware casting directors trying to turn him into a parody – he’s too good an actor for that. Fortune Favours The Brave With a name that means Fiery Lord and a numerical birth number that stands for bravery Idris’ star alignment shows there is nothing he cannot master. It is the drive that has seen him take part in – and win - his first professional kick-boxing bout at the age of 43 at York Hall (cheered on by a ringside Madonna); break the land speed record; pilot an acrobatic plane; design and model his very own men’s clothing collection for Superdry , while dropping the beats as DJ Big Driis, oh, and receiving an OBE for services to drama. But for all his dare-devilry, diversity and dynamism will he ever play Bond? We’ve cast the runes and they say it will come down to The Wire. Love and Romance With a couple of failed marriages behind him and his relationship with baby mama Naiyana Garth hitting the rocks earlier this year our guides suggest that long-term romantic unions aren’t necessarily Idris’s strong point. The Tarot shows that when it comes to relationships Idris may be too emotionally detached at times. But that doesn’t stop him from being a consummate flirt. Put a pretty lady under his nose and his charm goes into overdrive. Word of advice though when we say “Lady” we’re referring to someone with grace and elegance. The way to this man’s heart is to keep it smart, discreet and under wraps. Madonna, are you listening! It’s in the stars that a flirty friendship will blossom into something more meaningful. Be warned though this one will pack a punch and provide our Idris with more thrills than any drag car racing event ever could. Inner Secret He may be as sharp as his tailoring but underneath it all lays a soul that is in a bit of a two-and-eight. He seeks peace and happiness which will only come when this loner-by-nature allows himself to trust and be open to love. If he can embrace that side of his character, play that particular role, then he really can have it all.

She was supposed to be performing at The O2 on Friday (November 4) as part of her world Revival Tour but instead the perfectly formed Kill Em With Kindness singer Selena Gomez is back in the US battling her demons after cancelling with “anxiety and depression”. And where those dark tormentors lurk our Witch Twitch isn’t scared to follow, with a giant spotlight thrown on a few home truths. The Tarot reveals that living in the public eye is beginning to take its toll on the former Disney Channel starlet. And, although they don’t predict another Disney Princess, a la Britney, Demi, Miley, and Lyndsay getting creative with the scissors or taking on the role of crash test dummy in a pumpkin coach, they do show that Gomez needs to regroup and take some time out to enjoy her life. What’s In A Name Selena takes her name from the Greek Moon Goddess, a bewitching creature that rules the night, whose gravity regulates the Earth’s tides worldwide, triggering seed swelling, seed bursting and seed germination. To be less cryptic, anyone – especially members of the opposite sex – who enter her orbit are captivated by her and never stand a chance against her magnetic pull. Romance On this subject, we’ve cast the runes and The Heart Wants What It Wants. Bieber Boy. In truth our little Cancerian fell deeply for the boy wonder and wanted the happy-ever-after ending. She is a Disney Princess after all. She’s still struggling to come to terms with the break-up. Despite the swirling rumours that she is to be named in the Brangelina break-up, and Biebs putting on a peacock display with model Sofia Richie, our Twitch is not buying it. Jelena have a “ting” and there’s a giant heavenly chess game being played to get them back together. Everyone else is simply a pawn in this chequered affair. Behind The Mask
Our guides suggest that behind the cute persona lays a highly ambitious and tack-sharp businesswoman who in her quest for security will do what is needed to get the job done. She’s not going back to her childhood roots that saw her family struggling. That’s even if that means firing those nearest and dearest to her – like momager Mandy Teefey, trading up boyfriends (it hasn’t done best pal Taylor Swift any harm) or taking off her kit to promote a new album. A word of caution for our little Witch of Waverly Place though: Where Mammon rules, true love won't flourish. Inner Secret The Tarot shows the Good For You Singer dreams of changing the world and wants to be known for her courage and original ideas. Despite already being a global superstar with millions in the bank from box office and album sales, it’s still very early days for this 24-year-old. She has a long journey in front of her with some surprising career moves along the way. The stars see her Mexican heritage informing this – and when it finally comes it won’t be a wave but a Tsunami. Q: One of my female work colleagues has sprouting facial chin hairs. I don’t have a problem with it but a few of the guys in the office have started to make jokes about it. How do I politely tell her? Carly, Canary Wharf A: I’ve tapped into her energy and I’m not sensing that she’s intending to channel her inner Chaz Bono (who we have to admit being a little in love with) or trying to save money on a Hallowe’en costume. It may be that she needs to get her eyes tested or to buy a bottle of Windex to clean her home mirrors in order to clearly see the sproutage. You could leave a few subtle hints on her desk like a Gillette Mach3 turbo razor, a box of Veet ready-to-use wax strips or a copy of Rufus Cavendish’s The Little Book of Beards. Alternatively, hide the office wastebasket from the cleaner, fill it daily with rotting fruit and half-eaten sarnies. The office will soon be deluged by flies. This is when you “come to the rescue” with a roll of fly paper. Pretend to trip over when you’re standing next to the Bearded Lady holding a sheet of the paper. As you put your hands out to steady your fall aim for her chin with the paper, apologize, stand up and then quickly yank - R.I.P you wiry little suckers. So Mote It Be Since announcing that Tesla will produce a car that will drive from LA to New York by the end of next year our Witch Twitch has gone into overdrive around its founder Elon Musk. The billionaire business magnate, investor and inventor – said to be the inspiration for Tony Stark , the genius engineer played by Robert Downey Jr in the Iron Man movies – is somewhat of an enigma but that’s not stopped us from dowsing his hidden depths. Destiny With a name like Elon Musk he was always destined to be a player on the global stage – either that or a Sacremento-based professional skunk trapper. In numerological terms his name characteristics denote he operates on a higher spiritual plane, is intuitive, illuminated, an idealist and a dreamer. It’s little wonder then that he’s so hell bent on getting to Mars with his SpaceX company where he wants to create a bolthole for humanity. Behind the facade Our guides suggest that Elon is not all what he appears – we’re not referring to the fact he doesn’t seem to have aged in 30 years or that conspiracy theorists are convinced he’s an alien here to save the planet. There is something rather other- worldly about him, however, we predict if you strip away the swagger and the stellar wealth, there’s a man-child like the Tom Hanks character in Big who’s rather shy, a bit goofy and a little awkward. Despite the trappings of being a billionaire – the private jets, supercars palatial pads, around the world, Hollywood wives and girlfriends (more about them later) – we’re not convinced Elon is in it for the money or the lifestyle. We sense he’s more interested in working with his ideals, rather than in dollars and cents. Romance The cards suggest he is a born romantic and is deeply concerned and supportive of art, and beauty in any form. Perhaps that’s why he keeps marrying British actress, writer and director and star of new HBO show Westworld Talulah Riley. They’ve tied the knot twice now, with each subsequent divorce costing Elon millions in alimony. We’re wondering if it’s going to be third time lucky for this star-crossed pair especially as a recent Twitter exchange between the pair included the hashtag #OfcourseIstillloveyou from Riley. We’ve cast the runes and it would appear she’s his kryptonite. Inner Secret His soul is looking for a life of freedom, excitement and unexpected happenings. Yet, he harbours a secret dream of surrounding himself with the perfect family in the perfect home. He’s already well on his way in the department being a dad to five boys, a set of twins and triplets. But the cards suggest there’s even more to come His cup continues to overfloweth. |
