Barbara D’Urso Silvia Toffanin is a guest at Verissimo. The moderator speaks openly for the first time about her two sons Giammauro and Emanuele, 37 and 35 years old. “I don’t like talking about my kids and they don’t like it when I talk about them, but theirs are not far away.

The Bachelors Kyle Sandilands shoots suitors for sponsorship in radio

The Bachelors: Kyle Sandilands shoots suitors for ‘sponsorship’ in radio interview

Kyle Sandilands came out on Monday after two of the bachelors allegedly failed to show up for a post-final radio interview.

Felix Von Hofe and Thomas Malucelli did not appear on The Kyle and Jackie O Show, leaving their co-star Jed McIntosh alone with his girlfriend Alésia Delaney.

A KIIS FM producer said the two absent bachelors “jumped out” at the last minute because their split from their chosen wives “didn’t go so smoothly”.

Introducing the segment, Kyle said, “Jed from The Bachelors is the only Bachelor left with the girl he picked on TV last night…”

His co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson interrupted: “Well actually he’s the only Bachelor coming in. The other two do nothing [media].’

Kyle then fired, demanding answers as to why Felix and Thomas were MIA.

“What’s going on there? What did Channel 10 say about the bachelors? Why don’t the others come?’ he asked.

When guest booker Jamiee “Mayo” Blazquez said the couple’s split from their chosen wives wasn’t “so smooth,” Kyle snapped, “So what?”

Mayo continued, “It was last minute and they all bailed out. They just said they didn’t want anything to do with it.’

Kyle had no sympathy for the broken bachelors, saying they had publicity duties to fill regardless of how things ended on the show.

“I keep telling TV stations, ‘Don’t pay the fee until they’ve done the job,'” he said. “How stupid are these people? Who makes these shows?

“It happens at MAFS every year. Nobody comes in. You think, “This is a waste of time.” Get the contracts right.’

Kyle and Jackie went on to praise Jed for doing the right thing by facing the press the day after the finals.

A Channel 10 spokesperson said neither Thomas nor Felix had been booked for public relations on Monday, so it was not correct that the KIIS FM producer said they had “dropped out”.

“We are focusing on the love story between Alésia and Jed in the last few interviews,” they added in a statement to Chron Australia.

However, Thomas and Felix spoke with 10 play.

There was a trio of proposals at Sunday night’s season finale of The Bachelors – but two of the three winning couples have already split.

Channel 10 confirmed overnight that Jed and his chosen contestant Alésia were the only couple to find lasting love this season.

This is despite the fact that things got off to a rocky start when Alésia turned down Jed’s marriage proposal after he popped the question despite her asking him to.

The other two Bachelors, Thomas and Felix, on the other hand, parted ways with their chosen ones, although their proposals were accepted on camera.

“We take it day by day and look forward to just having coffee together and then having a normal life after that,” Jed told 10Play of his relationship with Alésia.

Despite getting on one knee, Thomas confirmed in a statement that he had ended his engagement to makeup artist Leah Cummings after two months.

“We had a lot of love and care for each other but we weren’t compatible and compatibility is so important,” he said.

It is understood Leah was “devastated” that things didn’t work out. Thomas was spotted on dating app Hinge back in September.

“We care a lot about each other and respect each other a lot; However, we realized that staying together wasn’t the right decision for us.’

Meanwhile, Felix and his chosen partner Jessica Navin “fizz” after trying to make things work off-camera.

You wont believe what happens in this scene from Beauty

You won’t believe what happens in this scene from Beauty and the Beast

Disney has always been known for its classic animated films such as The Little Mermaid, Cinderella,Beauty and the Beast‘ and many other titles loved by audiences. In the mid1990s, such productions began to have great success.

As a result of this success, many watched the animations and they certainly became engraved in their memories. If we were to ask some groups of people about certain scenes today, it would be very likely that they would remember.

After all, who doesn’t remember that moment when Bela complains about her town, that the place isn’t very interesting and that she’d rather read the same book twice, or when they both discover their infatuation while playing snowball?

Oh! good moments

Therefore we cannot deny that there was a great admiration for the titles, so much so that today we can see several references to previous works, the famous Easter eggs.

This kind of thing usually happens at certain times in movies and only those who know and watch can understand it. But what if we told you that Beauty and the Beast has one too, would you believe it?

the mysterious scene

Whatever your answer, we will present facts. But for them to be officially proven, you have to open the film at exactly 1 hour, 14 minutes and 36 seconds. Otherwise it is impossible to notice.

To understand what’s going on in this scene, we have to go back in time. Gaston, a totally arrogant and narcissistic hunter who thinks he’s in love with Belle, heads towards the Beast’s house and the two then fight on the castle’s roof.

During the fight, the beast spares his life and tells him to leave, and then Beauty appears and the beast walks towards him. However, when least expected, Gaston stabs him with the knife, but loses his balance and eventually falls off the roof.

As Gaston begins to fall, you can see more detail to your liking as his face gets closer to the screen and his eyes then reflect two skulls.

Here all doubts about Gaston’s end are dispelled as he was raised.

If you want to know more details, Beauty and the Beast is available on the Disney+ platform.

A first losing streak for the Bruins

A first losing streak for the Bruins

The Boston Bruins suffered their third loss in as many games on Sunday night when they faced the Carolina Hurricanes at the PNC Arena in Raleigh.

• Also read: Frédérick Gaudreau acclaimed in game

The Canes beat Jim Montgomery’s men 4-1.

Midway through the first frame, Hurricanes forward Sebastian Aho managed to dislodge the puck from Bruins forward David Pastrnak. The Finn then headed past goalkeeper Linus Ullmark alone, whom he hit with a sharp shot.

The Carolina team added a few in the middle stage. In the power play, veteran Paul Stastny grabbed a loose puck. Born in Quebec in 1985, he has blacked out the top scorer for the fourth time this season.

Hurricanes forwards Seth Jarvis and Jordan each contributed to their team’s win.

“We knew that this team [les Bruins] is the crème de la crème and they beat everyone. You played last night [samedi] and we try to catch them [au classement]. We were at home in front of a good crowd. I think that shaped him. We deserve it,” said head coach Rod Brind’Amour, whose comments were shared on the National League’s website.

The only moment of celebration for the Bruins came in the third period. Taylor Hall scored his 15th goal of the season with assists from Pavel Zacha and Charlie McAvoy. After the game, Ullmark wanted to take the blame.

“In a second game in two nights, the goalkeeper has to save,” he said. Unfortunately, I couldn’t.”

The Massachusetts side will play their next game away from home, taking on the Maple Leafs in Toronto on Wednesday. The formation of the Queen City is currently bereft of the services of the eminent Austin Matthews. The striker will be sidelined for three weeks with a knee injury.

The Brind’Amour men will have a visit from the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday. The Californian club are undefeated in their last four games.

Megyn Kelly taunts Jill Biden after the first lady was

Megyn Kelly taunts Jill Biden after the first lady was called a ‘doctor’ by a football game announcer

Journalist and podcaster Megyn Kelly attacked the first lady on Twitter, mocking her for using her “doctor” title.

It came after a game day announcer at the San Francisco 49ers game introduced Doctor Jill Biden while she was seated in a box overlooking the field.

But the former Fox News host believes Dr. Biden’s use of the title is incorrect and nothing more than an ego boost.

“Announcers for this Eagles-49ers game just spotted the First Lady in a box and of course they call her ‘Dr. Jill Biden.’ I wonder if she realizes what a wannabe woman looks like when she insists on that fake title. Get a real MD or just work on your self esteem,” Kelly tweeted.

The tweet received 4.3 million views within a few hours, but only a fraction of the likes at 30,000.

Some of those who responded to Kelly agreed that Biden’s statement was indeed self-aggrandizing.

“What do you mean, she’s not a doctor? Whoopi Goldberg thinks it is her. “I hope Dr. Jill becomes Surgeon General. … [Y]oh she’s a damn good doctor.” Goldberg, March 4, 2020,” wrote Mark Hayman on Twitter.

“Then my PhD is pretty cool. I never considered owning it longer than all those MDs. I always thought they were the real doctors, and I just posed when I mentioned I had one,” Seth Frantzman suggested.

“I’ve never heard of any other politician with a PhD or similar degree in the US being routinely referred to as ‘Dr’ … but if it happens I’d be interested,” he continued.

“As someone who has a PhD and is also a strong Conservative, I just can’t understand this fight. Whether it is a Physician, a Doctor of Philosophy, a Doctor of Theology, or whatever, the title was earned through intense academic study. Find another tirade,” argued Garrett McKinnon, Ph.D.

The debate over whether the First Lady should use her PhD first arose in 2020 when it was slammed in a Wall Street Journal article.

Columnist Joseph Epstein, 86, the first lady, 71, “kiddo” in the piece, telling her to “think about it and drop the document immediately.”

Epstein’s comment entitled “Is there a doctor in the White House? Not if You Need an MD’ criticized her for saying ‘Dr.’ as an honorary title, although she is not a doctor.

Addressing Jill as “kiddo,” he wrote that using the honorific felt “cheating” and “weird” since Joe Biden’s wife had no medical background.

Jill Biden later stated on record: “One of the things I’m most proud of is my PhD. I mean I worked so hard for it.’

In 2020, 83-year-old columnist Joseph Epstein called the 69-year-old first lady a “kiddo” in the article published Friday, telling her to “think about it and drop the document immediately.”

Biden’s critics say it’s unconventional to invite people to call a doctor when owning an Ed.D, as that’s typically reserved for doctors — although its use in academic settings might be more liberal.

Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson agreed with Epstein, saying Biden is “a PhD in education, which basically means nothing.”

“Jill Biden is not a doctor, no. Maybe in the same vein as Dr. Pepper,” added Carlson.

“In 2007, at the age of 55, she received her PhD in education, so she has the same degree as Dr. Bill Cosby.”

Carlson pointed out that in 2009, Jill Biden said she wanted a PhD because she was fed up with letters to “Senator and Mrs. Biden.”

He accused her of being “status scared” and said she had “determined to heal that, like so many in our country, with another pointless title”.

However, many have suggested that the dispute was only fought because Biden is a woman.

Doug Emhoff, husband of Vice President Kamala Harris and the country’s first-ever second husband, remarked, “This article would never have been written about a man.”

And Hillary Clinton, both former first lady and former secretary of state, simply tweeted, “Her name is Dr. Jill Biden. To get used to something.’

US general warns British army is no longer among world’s best armed forces: report

A senior US general recently warned British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace that the British army is no longer among the best armed forces in the world, according to a Sunday report.

The source told Wallace decades of cuts in Britain’s military defenses have eroded the country’s combat capabilities, Sky News reports.

The source is quoted as saying: “The bottom line…it’s a whole service that won’t be able to protect Britain and our allies for a decade.”

Another reportedly said there was a greater sense of urgency for the UK to revitalize its military after Russia’s ongoing military aggression against Ukraine.

The Sky News report offers details on the UK military to paint a picture of what the country is facing. For example, most of its armored vehicles were built 30 to 60 years ago and “a full replacement is years away”.

The US general reportedly told Wallace that the British military is not a “Tier One” force like the United States, Russia, China or France and is “barely” in Tier Two.

The UK needs to modernize its military despite pledges to continue supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russia.

Earlier this month Britain pledged to send in Ukrainian tanks after renewed missile attacks killed Kyiv and continued heavy ground warfare in Ukraine’s Donbass region.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he would send Ukraine Challenger 2 tanks along with additional artillery systems after Saturday’s talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

A US defense source is quoted as saying that Sunak’s “current wartime approach is to weaken the army and further undermine it with gifts [equipment to Ukraine] and without replacing plans [the weapons] for five to seven years.”

Roller coaster keeps guests stuck for three hours – Inside the Magic

After an unexpected malfunction of a popular roller coaster, guests were stranded for three hours over concerns for their safety.

Most guests visit their favorite theme park thinking of having a day of fun, thrills and excitement while exploring their favorite attractions, enjoying the variety of entertainment on offer and even indulging in delicious snacks. Although seeing themselves involved in an accident is the last thing on their mind, there’s always a chance that something unexpected will happen, especially when they’re riding a high-speed roller coaster.

Viewers were quick to note that the group should be grateful they got stuck at the end of the roller coaster rather than a hill and that they’d had similar experiences on previous visits. However, others commented that the video was staged due to the notorious time difference and it appeared that the incident took place at the same time as the theme park’s fireworks show, where viewers commented that all the rides had stopped.

Six Flags Mexico has not released any information regarding any malfunctions or renovations to the ride, and according to the theme park’s website, Superman The Final Escape remains open and operational as of this writing.

Ilia Malinin wins US figure skating championship despite four

Ilia Malinin wins US figure skating championship despite four axel misses – Home of the Olympic Channel

San Jose, California – Ilya Malinin will certainly have mixed feelings as he recalls his first US figure skating title.

This was reflected in his reaction after completing the freestyle on Sunday.

The 18-year-old, with boundless potential and seemingly boundless confidence, had been rocked by his worst freestyle of the season.

He shook his head sadly. Then he shook it again.

“Obviously that wasn’t the skate I wanted, but there are always ups and downs and you just get over them and move on,” Malinin said.

FIGURE SKATING NATIONALS: Full Results

He planned the toughest technical program anyone had ever attempted, with six quadruple jumps and two challenging combinations in the second half of the four-minute program. And he bravely tried to execute it, even after significant errors that would surprise him in second place Andreas Torgashev in free skating.

Malinin (287.74 total points) still landed comfortably in front of the all-time favorite Jason Brown (277.31). Torgashev finished third overall with 256.56.

Rather, Malinin tenaciously drove the momentum that pervaded his brilliant short program on Friday, easily his best short program of the season.

“I think I was just a little bit sluggish and I just wasn’t prepared for what was going to happen,” he said.

Malinin crashed on his opening jump, the quadruple axel, and then reeled off three more quads clean. He turned two other planned quads into doubles, then turned his final jump pass, planned as a sequence of two jumps, into an unprecedented triple Lutz-triple Axel-triple toe loop sequence. For context: only Malinin did a triple Lutz triple Axel sequence.

“I think it’s not because I planned too much,” he said. “I don’t think I was really prepared for that amount. And that was mainly because we focused on this short program.”

Brown, 28, who made his senior debut 12 years ago, was a great skater. Excluding a fall on his ambitious last free skate jump, a triple flip out of a knee slide, Brown’s overall performance in both the short and free would have been as good as it was at the US Championships.

With his longevity and insight, Brown, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and seven-time national medalist (2015 Gold), was able to put into perspective what had happened to Malinin and encourage him not to lose faith in it.

Brown heard the press conference questions that Malinin wanted to get over what had gone wrong, legitimate and expected questions, and he didn’t want his younger teammate to address them.

“You did a triple Lutz triple Axel triple toe at the end of your program, and I did a knee slide and could barely get up to do the flip,” Brown told Malinin, who was sitting next to him on the podium.

“The way you are pushing the sport is incredible. So don’t stop being you.”

Malinin, an unexpected runner-up at last year’s Nationals, found himself in a spotlight brighter than anything he’d ever experienced, largely due to his historic success earlier this season when he landed a quad axel first in the competition.

For all his disarming bravery, evidenced by his choice of quadg0d as his social media name, Malinin is not immune to the pressures of a big event and his position as a favourite.

“There’s a lot of experience (necessary) that takes time to gather,” Brown said. “I’ve been through everything. I’ve had many ups, I’ve had many downs. As you (Malinin) said, it is how you take that experience and learn from it and grow from it. You will do that.”

Both Malinin and Brown depart on Monday to play eight shows in three Swiss cities over 11 days with the Art on Ice Tour. Both are expected to be on the US team for the World Championships in Japan in March.

Malinin leaves with the title and the satisfaction of not having minimized the risk given his large lead after the short programme.

“This was an opportunity for me to try out this new layout,” said Malinin. “Of course it didn’t go well. We let them advise us and look forward to worlds.”
