Jim Carrey Idris Elba, Keanu Reeves, and James Marsden were among the superstars spotted on a blue carpet, instead of the traditional red one.

Sir Keir's allies seem pretty confident Labour's ditched that habit of constant scrapping. But No 10 is worried enough to be inviting MPs into Downing Street to make their pitch for the changes to welfare, knowing there'll be upset from the usual suspects and hoping there won't be too much of a backlash on the soft left.It's also grappling with the massive group of MPs elected last year, with some eager backbenchers actively trying to make Sir Keir's case, unkindly branded by one source as "toadies" trying to suck up to the leadership.

So how will the "usual suspects", the "softies", the "newbies" and the "toadies" shake down?There has always been criticism of Sir Keir from the left-hand edge of Labour, not least because he spent the first couple of years in charge squeezing out the hard left, and even kicked out some MPs after the general election for voting against him over the cap on benefits for families with more than two children.It's common for MPs like Diane Abbott or Nadia Whittome to take pot shots at the prime minister's plans. But now this group is much smaller and less influential than it once was, it can't do much damage on its own. Gone are the days when the Socialist Campaign Group held sway with Jeremy Corbyn – there are only around 30 MPs in the group these days. But unhappiness about the coming welfare cuts spreads its tentacles far further.

One of those arguing against them told me the vast majority of Labour MPs were in the "group of resistance" – and "privately some of the cabinet are very against it."There is a whiff of opportunity to force Sir Keir to back down, some believe. "There is a chance that the old left and the soft left come together," another MP tells me.

A source on the left of the party tells me there's "potential to broaden this out and team up with people who don't want to see benefits cut after 15 years of austerity. The challenge for us on the left is to work with those people - then we'll have a sizeable rebellion." It is "breathtaking" to see new MPs backing undisclosed changes to benefits for disabled people, they add.

They point to the rebellion against Tony Blair in 1997 when 47 Labour MPs voted against the new government over - you guessed it - cuts to benefits. One hundred MPs abstained. It didn't change the policy, just as a rebellion of that kind of size wouldn't change it this time either, given the PM's huge majority. But it shocked ministers, still in the pomp of their massive victory that year. Could this do the same?Initially, Tate presented himself as charming, but Ms Stern alleges that his behaviour quickly turned demeaning and threatening.

According to her claims, he referred to her as his "property" and subjected her to verbal abuse, calling her an "idiot", among other names.She described one incident in the Beverly Hills hotel in which he allegedly beat, choked and then threatened to kill her while they were having sex - an encounter that she says began as consensual.

"Tate began verbally degrading [the] Plaintiff as he routinely did - but this time it was much worse, more aggressive, and more violent," the lawsuit states.Ms Stern said in the complaint that he struck her in her face and head, and she cried for him to stop - alleging at one point the pressure on her neck nearly made her lose consciousness.
