After partying hard with Jennifer Lopez at the weekend, DJ Joel Corry today releases a remix of her 2005 No1 Get Right.
It is to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the singer and actress’ Rebirth album.

London-born Joel revealed they got to celebrate the collaboration in Washington DC after both performing at World Pride.
He told us in an exclusive: “I didn’t finish my DJ set until 1am. I jumped in an Uber across Washington DC, got to her hotel to this sort of restaurant after-party, and she was there just partying.
“We had a chat and it was really nice. She’d obviously had a big performance that she’d smashed, so she was on a big high from that.
“I plugged my phone into the speakers and played the track really loud. Her dancers were getting on the table dancing to it and it was just such a moment.
“I ended up staying until about three in the morning and then J.Lo went to bed.”
Although it was their first meeting, she is clearly a fan of the chart-topping DJ. It was her team who approached him about making the remix.
Joel said: “I was like, ‘Wow, what an email to get’.”
He was back home for his 36th birthday on Tuesday. Joel said of his girlfriend, reality star Coco Lodge: “She bought me some new bed sheets. I’m really chuffed with them.”
Mariah ball room blitz
Mariah Carey is back in the UK this weekend – and she’s not travelling light.
I’m told she has requested almost all of the dressing rooms at Capital’s Summertime Ball on Sunday, which has caused bosses to rethink their plans.

They are trying to juggle a number of schedules, working out when performers will arrive and leave Wembley Stadium to accommodate the line-up.
Mariah touched down in London on Thursday by private jet, having loaded the plane with white roses, white linen table clothes and fruit.
On Instagram, she also posted a large cake with the name of her new single, Type Dangerous.
A source said: “Mariah is going all-out for her set and that means lavish costumes and dancers.
“Her entourage is as big as you’d expect. It’s causing a bit of a headache for Capital bosses as she’s requested as good as all of the dressing rooms backstage.
“Obviously there are other huge acts like Benson Boone and Jade, so to take them all isn’t possible.”
Organisers are working around the clock to make things perfect for her.
She plays a gig at Sandringham this summer, and also headlines Brighton Pride in August. Earlier this month she kicked off a new era, releasing Type Dangerous from her upcoming 16th album.
Aj Odudu strikes a pose while enjoying downtime in Ibiza.
She is on her travels during a break from hectic work schedules, having only just returned from a trip to Mykonos in Greece.
Aj went to La last month, and took yet another trip to Ibiza.
She always has a few irons in the fire, but is sure to be back on our screens come the autumn, when Big Brother returns to Itv2.
But for now, it’s good to see her living her best life.
Nervous Raye a hit for Meryl
British powerhouse Raye may have performed at the Oscars, Grammys and the Brits, but her latest show was one of the most nerve-racking to date.
She took to the stage at a VIP dinner in central London to celebrate posh watch brand Audemars Piguet.
The singer, below, told pals the 20-minute intimate performance in front of Naomi Campbell, Romeo Beckham and Meryl Streep was among the most terrifying of her career
During the set, superstar DJ Mark Ronson – who has joined Raye on new collaboration Suzanne, which dropped today – popped up for a guest appearance.
A source said: “Raye has performed on some of the biggest stages in the world but the event was so intimate, and some of the biggest names in showbiz were there.
“She was telling pals it was bloody terrifying, but was also pleased how it went down.”
One person won over was Hollywood great Meryl. She even went backstage to congratulate the singer.
The source added: “Meryl told Raye she’s a big fan, which floored her. It was a lovely moment.”
Bravo.
A huge thank you to Go Privilege, who kindly hosted us at Beyonce’s third epic gig in Tottenham on Tuesday.
The platform offers VIP hospitality tickets and top seats for a snip of the usual price.
Meanwhile, Bey’s whisky brand Sirdavis is hosting a series of events across London, including a cocktail-making class at the W Hotel.
Westlife 25th but no Mark
Westlife have revealed Mark Feehily will not be part of their 25th anniversary celebrations as he continues to focus on his health.
He announced last year he was temporarily stepping back, after getting sepsis.
In a statement, the group, made up of Nicky Byrne, Shane Filan and Kian Egan, said: “We have so many exciting plans to share with you very soon, which will include new music, an album, special shows and many, many more surprises.
“Sadly, Mark will be unable to join the celebrations. We hope he can join us back on stage when he is ready and able. He sends his love and positivity to you all as always.”
