Theresa May to hand out more jobs in first cabinet

Leading Brexit campaigner Boris Johnson said he was "humbled" having been named new foreign secretary, in one of Mrs May's first cabinet appointments.

Philip Hammond became chancellor, Amber Rudd is home secretary, and Eurosceptic David Davis is new Brexit secretary.

Mrs May later told European leaders she was committed to the UK leaving the EU.

Harry Styles is open to starting an acting career

The One Direction band member is thinking about starting a career in acting, a source tells E! News exclusively. "Harry is being offered acting stuff, but he hasn't accepted anything yet," the source says.

"He is not openly looking for stuff either but is open to offers."

But the British heartthrob isn't going to accept just anything that comes his way just because it's offered. Harry is looking to appear on the silver screen only if it's a part that feels right. "If he does expand into that field," the source adds, "he wants to make sure it is the right role."
