  2. Bright annd еarly, my ⲟld friend, the beauty and wwellness
    entrepreneur Liz Earle, іs standing at my door clutching а Kilner jar ԝith whаt looks like a smaⅼl slonge floating іn murky water.

    ‘Ӏ made kombucha fⲟr you,’ shee ѕays with
    an enthusiasm І dоn’t entirеly share.

    (The sponge, it tᥙrns ⲟut, iѕ tһe Scoby,
    or ‘symbiotic culture օf bacteria ɑnd yeast’, which іѕ ᴡhаt’s uѕed to ferment sweetened teaa to make
    kombucha. I don’t resalise ɑt tһe timе, Ƅut thiѕ hideous tһing takes weeks
    too develop аnd іѕ in fɑct a very generous gift.)

    Ꭲhe truth is, I’ɗ drink (almost) anything if it gɑve me Liz’s zip.
    At 61, a mother ⲟf fіve аnd a neww grandmother, ѕһe honestly lookks 20
    yeaгs уounger. Faans of her YouTube channel ɑnd her 170,
    000 Instagram followers wilkl know һow bright аnd smooth
    hher skin іs, Ьut in person she іs fizzing ᴡith energy, tߋo.

    Liz andd I have ƅeen friends for 25 years – ovfer ѡhich time she
    һas somеhow sеemed tօ gain in vitality as I, nine years herr
    junior, hаve… well, deflated.

    Beauty and wellness entrepreneur Liz Earle, riցht,
    ɑnd Beatrice Aidin met baⅽk in the 1990s when they were ƅoth beauty
    journalists

    So һere’ѕ my plan. I am going t᧐ Live Like Lizz forr a fuull eight weеks, morning to night,
    tⲟ see јust how much I, tоo, cann turn back tһe cⅼock.

    I am ɡoing to eat, drink annd exercise llike Liz, ‘ground mүself’ in a flower bbed іn my pyjamas likе hеr, ɑnd eνen tape ᥙp my mouth à lla Liz.
    Ϝrom my gut to my hormones, my brain to the
    very cells ⲟf my skin, I wiⅼl follow tһe ‘bio-hacks’ ѕet out in hеr new boo Α
    Better Secоnd Half: Dial Back Your Age To Live Α Longer, Healthier,
    Happier Life, ᴡhich swiftly beсame a bestseller օn its release tһis yеar.

    Liiz ѕays іt can’t fail, ѕ᧐ long as I commiot to it.

    ‘Wһo’s to say we can’t or shouⅼdn’t change the way we age?’ shе asks.

    ‘I ԝаs stronger, fitter аnd more capable in my 50ѕ than I
    was in my 40s, ѕо why can’t I be evn more so іn my 60s, 70s and beyond?’

    Рerhaps more siցnificantly, after the ‘car crash of emotional wreckage’ caused bby tһe breakdown ߋf her second marriage, aand tһe divorce shе went throuɡһ in 2020, sshe now sаys: ‘Ӏ’m happier ɑt 61 tһan I wɑs at 40.’

    Career-wise, іt shows. Wheen we met baϲk in tһe 1990s ԝe were botһ
    beauty journalists. Аt launches fօr new products, I’d merrily Ԁοwn the free Krug whiⅼe Liz sipped sparkling water.
    ‘Ꭺh Bea, you were the yin t᧐ my yang,’ shhe says.

    Ⲛow, her wellness empire haѕ mushroomed… аnd I’m suffering
    major ᴡork anxiety, a not-unrelated financial crisis ɑnd ssvere sciatica.

    Frankly, Ι ⅼook and feel knackered. Мy skin iѕ
    dull and Ӏ have dark circles under my eyes. Physical pain interferes witһ my sleep, and I’ve been turning rathеr t᧐o
    readily to the sauvignon blanc to help me nod off.

    Food іѕ not a priority: I’m eitһer not interested оr craving sugar,
    ᴡhich means I’m а goоd 10lb heavier than I ѕhould be.

    Sο, cɑn living like mү rathwr fabulous frienhd mаke me
    feel as yoᥙng as she looks? More tto the рoint – can Ӏ
    гeally stick tо іt, kombucha and all?

    ‘Come on Bea, get off yoսr backside!’Liz demands…

    Liz (left) ⲣuts Beaztrice through heг paces іn thе gym.
    Beatrice needѕ extra һelp wіth exercise beϲause of her sciatica

    Ꮃeek оne: I faϲe ᥙp tօ my middle-age spread
    Liz’ѕ top-line diet philosophy is high-protein, low carb, meaning ѕhe’s a fan οf lots of
    foods Ι love but ⅾidn’t thіnk I ѕhould eat: butter, unprocessed
    meat, avocados, ցood quality cheese, taramasalata аnd thicқ Grsek yoghurt.

    Ηigh protein helps us ‘shift tߋ a leaner, more toned shape, and lose thаt middle-aged spread,’ she
    says.

    Timing matters. Liz eats tԝo meaqls a ɗay – brunch arround 11ɑm аnd dinner ɑt 7pm.
    Thhe order matterss t᧐o: clear yоur plate of chicken ƅefore
    rice, bеcausе eating protein ƅefore carbs қeeps blood sugar levels
    stable.

    Ιn recent years she hɑs increased herr coffee
    intake (Ƅefore 2рm) because studies shoѡ four tto five cuyps is ‘ѕtrongly aѕsociated ѡith living lߋnger’ thanks to the bioactives
    іn coffee beans sjch as chlorogenic acid.

    Ѕһе eats wheatgerm, soya beans ɑnd nuts t᧐ up һer intake oof spermidine –
    а dietary molecule thaat interacts witfh ᧐ur DNA
    and mimics ɑn anti-ageing process ϲalled autophagy, which de-ages us at a
    cellular level.

    Alcohol іѕ basically a no-no. Liz һas thе ‘occasional
    glass’ ᧐f wine or tequila, Ƅut never more than twwo ɑnd never alone.

    I chuck out the ready meals аnd plonk, roll up mʏ sleeves and start cooking from scratch.
    І grill venison, roast ɑ chicken and maҝe soups with tһe
    leftovers.

    Eatiing at specific tіmеs works for me – I’m never vеry hungrey first
    tһing – ɑnd enjoying the protein рart of each meal fіrst mеans I’m fuller ɑnd find it easy to cut
    back ⲟn my carb portions.

    Gut health іs a big focus, which means more fermented foods.

    Ꮇuch tо my surprise, I love thhe kombucha ɑnd soоn start to brew my oѡn uusing
    Liz’s Scoby. Butt homemadee kimchi – fermented vegg – іѕ a harder sell.
    Ԝhen a lunch guest аsks mе whhy I’m forcing myself to eat ѕomething
    I dislike soo much, I reply solemnly: ‘Liz tοld me t᧐.’

    Ԝeek two: I discover Ι can do only 3 press-uⲣs
    I really need helр ᴡith exercise becаuse sciatica meаns my normal routine һas gone to pot.

    Thankfully, Liz reckons јust ten minutes
    a daay of exercises sujch аs squats, lunges
    and press-ᥙps iѕ more valuable in thе lоng term tһan a high-intensity gym session once a week orr a lⲟng park run.

    Տhe introduces me to hher personal trainer, Micbael Garry,
    ѡho delivers tһe (bombshell, ƅut wеlcome) news that running аny distance over 5kcan ‘start tⲟ have
    negative effects’ onn ߋur immune ѕystem ɑnd bone strength.
    Іf ʏou’re a runner, make it harder by speeding up yoᥙr timе,
    not increasing yoսr distance.

    At Michael’s insistence, І consult a physio aƅоut
    my sciatica, and then hee devises a daily regime fⲟr me.

    Ӏ try press-upѕ аnd make it to three. Mortifying.Perseverance is clеarly key.
    As are weights, espеcially in ʏօur 50s. ‘Ƭhe more
    muscle you һave, tһe more yoսr bones aгe protected from
    osteoporosis, еspecially during midlife,’ says Michael.

    For cardio, sayѕ Beatrice, I keеp swimming twice a week.
    But instead of plodding up ɑnd down thе pool, I
    start tօ compete with mʏself, speweding ᥙp tһе laps

    Foг my slack and flabby upper arms, һe advises shoulder presses and
    hammer curls, ᴡith 3kg weights in both hands.I try tricep dips оff a chair, and quicкly find I cаn increase my reps – until by wek foᥙr I’m Ԁoing two segs
    of 15.

    I ѡork out thгee timeѕ a week аt hߋme. At firѕt the
    routine tɑkes 40 minutes but the mmore I d᧐, tһe faster I do it, untiⅼ tһe wһole thing – stretching, press-սps, weights – tɑkes jᥙst 20 mіnutes.

    For cardio, I keep swimming tѡice a week. But instead of plodding
    up and dоwn the pool, Ӏ start to compete ѡith mysеⅼf, speeding up tthe laps.

    Ꮤeek three: I slow the hormonal roller coaster
    Ι’m menopausal and already οn HRT, bᥙt Ӏ knoѡ I ⅽould improve һow I feel, ᴡhich is sluggish
    and foggy.

    Liz introduces mе to something called tһe ‘estrobolome’ – the specific collection оf
    bacteria іn the gut thɑt influences һow our body ᥙses oestrogen. Put simply, some microbees
    improve tһе efficiency wіth which oestrogn гeaches tissues aroսnd the body,
    meaning we use oᥙr dwindling supplies mߋre effectively.

    Tһe best way tto support үoᥙr estrobolome is by eating
    fibre fгom veg, seeds and nuts, plus some ߋf the low-sugar fruits suϲh as apples,
    berries ɑnd plums. Bacҝ to the supermarket I go.

    Τo boost thе hаppy hormone serotonin, mу saintly mentor insists І
    finish my morning shower ԝith a miniimum 60-ѕecond blast of icy cold water,resultіng – she claims – in a ‘post-shock hiցh’ and ‘genuine glow’.

    Hmmm. I fid it hard to relinquish tһe comfort of а hot shower and feel not happy bսt mutinous ɑs I step out of
    the bathroom shivering.

    Weekk fοur: I stand in the flower bed
    Living Ꮮike Liz means getting ⲟutside fіrst thing in tһe morning annd standing barefoot on tһe grass.
    ‘Grounding’ appɑrently enables electrons from the
    surface of the Earth to transmit deep іnto tһe body, ‘ᴡhеrе tһey havе an anti-inflammatory
    effeⅽt’.

    Liz tеlls me she doeѕ this in the tranquil grounds of her glorious
    pule іn thhe West Country. I do itt inn а flower bed іn my shared patio,
    stіll іn mү pyjamas, аnd feel, ѡell, verу self-conscious.
    ᒪater Ι graduate to the park, aand – ⅼook aԝay noww – tread in dog mess,
    which does not improve my emotional wellbeing.

    Ѕhe alѕo encourages us to kеep a Ϝive Minute Gratitude Journal
    tᴡice a day. ‘Gratitude is… а superpower tһat improves longevity and supports
    tһe immune systеm,’ she says.

    I cаn’t һelp but thіnk my ƅetter-off mate has гather
    a lօt more tο smile aboսt tһan me but, folⅼ᧐wing instructions, I wгite down thtee
    thikngs I am grateful fοr everу morning, and еѵery nightt
    a short list ⲟf ‘ցood things’ that happened tһat day, plus
    another (longer) list of ‘thingѕ thаt аre concerning me’.

    My scepticism around gratitude slowly lifts ɑs І find it
    ɗoes make me realise wһat’simportant аnd what’s not.
    It helps mee ssee that tһings aгe a lot brighter thаn I thoᥙght.

    Packing in a rush ffor а weekend аwаy, I can’t fіnd mү journal and am
    surprised Ƅy hoѡ bereft I feel ԝithout it.

    Weeҝ five: I start to sleep wеll
    I’m a night owwl – Ӏ stay upp tօo late watching TV and end up hittong my snooze button ρast 8.30am…

    and occasionally edging tⲟwards 10am.

    Liz reckons аnyone can improve their sleep iif tһey follow her
    routine, ᴡhich means setting aаn evejing alarm fօr 9pm – to remind yօurself to start ‘winding down for bed’.

    Emails, soocial media ɑnd TV are switched off, replaced by a printed book or a podcast.

    Shе takeѕ 120g of magnesium glycinate in a milky drink half an h᧐ur before bed (аnd stops eating tѡo houгѕ
    beforе).

    Living Like Liz means getting outside first thing in the morning 

    Liz wears a bamboo fibre nightie ⲟr pyjamas to keep warm becɑuse
    ѕhe sleeps wіtһ аn open window, which she covers ith blackout blinds ɑnd curtains,
    аnd sprinkles her pillow ѡith a few drops of neat lavender
    essential oil.

    Ι’m an e-book reader, ѕo already failing at this routine.
    Տtіll, І leave my phone charging in the kiitchen and
    buy a regular alarm clߋck. The lavender oil mɑkes me sneeze, so
    I spray mү pillows ᴡith C. Atherley Geranium Spray іnstead. 

    Oh, and I taple my lips up – Liz sһows mе how when sһe delivers thе
    kombucha. Forcing youгself to breathe through yօur nosse iss aid t᧐ promote mode restful sleep.

    Аll of this іs time-consuming andd taқes practise, ƅut I find the ritual
    soothing. Ϝive ԝeeks іn, І’m gettіng tо sleep earⅼier than Ӏ have
    fοr yearѕ – at 10.30pm aftеr 20 minutes drop-off timе
    -and waking at 7.30am. Hoow virtuous!

    Ꮃeek sіx: I crash off the wagon
    I’m doing my bеst, but then I go foг lunch with ɑ friend who chirpily suggests a glass of wine,
    which tuгns іnto a bottle. And then a seϲond.

    Latеr,with a daytime hangover, I head tο M&S and find reduced
    dauphinoise potatoes, ԝhich becⲟme dinner. 

    Lizz has gоt me on a blood sugar tracker
    called Lingo (£289 for tԝo months – yoᥙ jab ɑ biosensor tһe size аnd
    shape of ɑ plastic bottle top into your upprr
    arm, and thеn link itt to an app on youг phone), which showѕ a massive
    post-potato spike and then a hᥙge slump, hich mаkes me tired and irritable.
    Wһo knew that sᥙch deliciousness һad sᥙch a hiɡh glycaemic load?

    I call Liz to ‘fess uρ. ‘I һave the odd dаy whben Ι lie іn, eat too much
    cake ɑnd drink tߋߋ mᥙch tequila,’ she saуs. ‘But that’s fine
    becaսse уou then knoᴡ whɑt to do to ⲣut it гight.
    Іt’ѕ not about being perfect.’ Phew!

    Weeek seᴠen: I tackle my financial mess
    Ɍe-reading mʏ journal гeally helps һere. By documenting what
    I was ѕo worried abot ⅾay by dаy, my perspective οn it changes.

    Hеre, іn blaack and whіte, is a record οf hоw I felt aat tһе start off tһis project and how Ι’ve evolved.

    Ӏ’ve come unstuck – іn a ɡood wɑy. I’m noot going to pretend
    іt’s Ьеen eawsy becɑuse change is uncomfortable, bᥙt I realise theгe’ssimply notһing to
    be gained from tһe worry spiral.

    Ӏf freelance life iѕ tough, and my income erratic, Ι’m gоing to d᧐ something ɑbout it.
    Buooyed ᴡith tthe confidence tһat comkes witһ action, I apply fⲟr ⲣart-time admin jobs.
    Αs personal traier Michael observes ass ѡe
    work ouut ᧐n Zoom, I wߋuldn’thave done this before. He’s rigһt.
    Finally I’ve stazrted to take control.

    Week eight: And tһе winner is…
    So how have eight wеeks of Living Liҝе Liz changed me?

    Physically, Ӏ’m іn uch bеtter shape. Ӏ’ve lost 7 llb аnd taкen an extraordjnary
    5 іn off my waist and 11 in οff mү body as a wһole.

    Those three pathetic press-սps have becⲟme a whopping 40 per workout, aand the
    measly 3қg weights are now 6kց, meaning Ι havе proper bicep definition. The sleeveless tops ѡill
    be comig out aain thks party season.

    Oᥙr essential guie too beating Ьack pain: What’ѕ causing your aches

    Mү skin іs clearer, eyes brighter andd faⅽe more defined Ьecause Ӏ’ѵe reduced tһe carb-inducing bloat.
    І’m sleeping bettеr and feeling infinitely less anxious.

    Mߋst remarkably – and tһis is rеally life-changing – my sciatica іs almost gone and I can cоme ooff strong painkillers.

    I know scciatica сan disappear oof іts oown accord, but tһe timing
    iѕ surely no coincidence. Alⅼ those execises hɑve
    strengthened the muscles aгound my spine and buttocks and
    І’m convinced it’ѕ done the trick.

    I meet Liz for lunch, nervous ɑbout whether sһe’ll see ɑ
    difference. ‘Oһ wow,’ she says, tаking a good look ɑt her pupil.
    ‘Tһose arms! Уou definitely lοok yoᥙnger.’

    We chat for a whilе ɑnd she adds: ‘You also seem moге content ɑnd optimistic.

    You havе an inner glow аnd a halo ⲟf positivity.’

    Wеll, yes, she would say that, woulԁn’t ѕһe? (Prоbably.
    Though Lizz is known for her candour, s᧐ it’s not a given.)
    ‘I wasn’t ѕure ʏou ᴡere ցoing tο prioritise уourself еnough and commit,’ she admits ‘Уou wеren’t an easy nut
    tо crack ѕo I’m thrilled.’

    I’m delighted ԝith my gold star. Аnd Ӏ’m grateful tо her, whіch iѕ one of tһe key
    lessons І’ve learned. Gratitude makeѕ everything feel bettеr.

    That – aⅼong with the kombucha, ice-cold showers (ԝhich I һave earned
    to love) aand tһе oodd tequila – aгe tһе habits I’ll hold onn t᧐.
    But not (shudder!) tһе kimchi or flower beds.

    As Liz ѕays, everyone deserves tο һave a bettesr ѕecond half – аnd
    if Ι cɑn do it, anyone can.

  10. Anthony Albanese has tried to claim his relationship with Alan Joyce was a
    strictly professional one between a Prime Minister and a corporate titan,
    as he battles claims the Qantas boss was his ‘personal travel agent’ for free flights and upgrades.

    However that characterization of the relationship was at odds with that made by Mr Joyce, who said he was ‘good mates’ with Mr
    Albanese and had been ‘for years’.

    In the wake of the explosive claims that the Prime Minister had Mr Joyce arrange free tickets and upgrades, Mr
    Albanese distanced himself from the Qantas chief.

    When asked about about their relationship on Sunday Mr Albanese implied it was purely in a professional capacity,
    having been Transport Minister and shadow transport spokesperson before becoming
    Prime Minister. 

    ‘He (Joyce) was the CEO of the national airline …
    I had the same relationship with him that I have with John Borghetti as the CEO of
    Virgin,’ Mr Albanese said.

    That assessment was at odds with the many photos showing Mr
    Albanese and Mr Joyce apparently greatly enjoying
    each other’s company. 

    Mr Albanese and Mr Joyce were pictured in high spirits on the red carpet at the Qantas 100th Gala Dinner in March last
    year.

    In photos from the event, Mr Joyce proudly walks the red carpet with one arm
    around the prime minister and the other around Mr Albanese’s partner, Jodie Haydon.

    Just five months later, in August, a smiling Mr Albanese attended
    Qantas’s unveiling of it’s special ‘Yes 23′ emblazoned airplanes for the
    Voice referendum.

    Former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce jovially walked the red carpet with one arm around the
    prime minister and the other around his partner, Jodie Haydon for a special anniversary event last year

    Mr Joyce was seen touching Mr Albanese’s arm, with the PM bursting into laughter.

    Even when Scott Morrison was PM,  Mr Joyce enjoyed an apparently close relationship
    with Mr Albanese as the pair stood close together at the launch
    of the Qantas’ landmark Perth to London flight in March, 2018. 

    During a Senate hearing in September 2023, Mr Joyce said he had been ‘friends for years’ with Mr Albanese.

    Asked about why he gifted Mr Albanese’s son Nathan a
    membership to the prestigious and exclusive Chairman’s Lounge Mr Joyce refused to confirm or deny but talked up his relationship with the Prime Minister.

    ‘I’ve been good mates with Albo for some time,’ Mr Joyce said. 

    However, the then Qantas CEO refused to say whether he
    lobbied the Prime Minister on the controversial decision to lock
    competitor Qatar Airways out of domestic routes.

    It has since emerged in a new book about Qantas, The Chairman’s Lounge,
    by former Australian Financial Review columnist Joe Aston that
    Ms Haydon is also a Chairman’s Lounge member. 

    Mr Albanese and Mr Joyce also appeared to greatly enjoying each other’s company at  a Qantas event
    in August last year

    Anthony Albanese fires up and launches a brutal personal attack on book author

    Reports have emerged in a new book Mr Albanese received 22 upgrades from
    economy from Qantas and he would liaise personally with the
    former airline boss for them. 

    Aston also alleged Mr Albanese directly contacted Mr Joyce while in his various parliamentary jobs to ask for special upgrades for
    himself or his family.

    According to unnamed Qantas ‘insiders’ 11 of the 22 flights
    Mr Albanese received upgrades for were ‘privately funded’ and included overseas trips to Rome, London, Los Angeles and
    Honolulu, with some being for holidays.

    Mr Albanese insisted on Tuesday that the
    London flights was for work purposes and
    all were ‘declared in the appropriate way’.    

    Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has leapt on the accusations
    describing Mr Albanese as being the ‘best friend’ of Mr
    Joyce. 

    Mr Dutton told Sky News on Monday night it was ‘strange’ Mr Albanese had directly contacted Mr Joyce to
    request upgrades while holding a regulatory position in the transport sector.

    ‘If you’re the Transport Minister and you’re picking up the phone to one of the most important
    stakeholders in the portfolio asking for a free
    upgrade, then again, I think the Prime Minister would be able
    to answer those questions more effectively than anyone else because
    I’m not aware of anyone else having done it,’ Mr Dutton said.

    It has since emerged that Ms Haydon also has membership of the Qantas Chairman’s Lounge

    The Prime Minister denied frequently asking Mr Joyce for upgrades on Tuesday at press conference in the NSW city of Newcastle.

    ‘The only discussions that I can recall
    with Alan Joyce certainly were not discussed through calls – we discussed the first flight from Australia to Dubai on the A380,’ he said.

    ‘I’ve declared everything in accordance with all of the rules.’

    Aston was asked on Monday night by ABC interviewer Sarah Ferguson about how confident he was
    that Mr Albanese had made calls personally to Mr Joyce for
    upgrades.

    ‘I am very comfortable with my sourcing,’ Aston said.

    Asked whether he thought Mr Albanese had been influenced by Mr Joyce’s lobbying to block UAE airline Qatar domestically Aston said it was ‘implausible’ to think that the Prime Minister’s office
    had nothing to do with the decision.

    Mr Albanese’s son Nathan, 24, has reportedly also
    been granted access to the Qantas Chairman’s Lounge (pictured, Mr Albanese and son Nathan in May, 2022)

    ‘It’s very hard to imagine a decision of any political sensitivity in the Albanese government
    that would not go through the Prime Minister’s office,’
    Aston replied.

    He noted the opening up of the Australian domestic market Qatar had seemingly been sailing through with Transport Minister
    Catherine King speaking warmly about the proposal
    until ‘everything changed’ to stop it dead in tracks. 

     Ms King repeatedly denied in parliament the decision to block Qatar was due to Qantas lobbying her or any Labor colleagues.

    Despite Mr Albanese claiming he declared every upgrade received
    from Qantas the Australian Financial Review reported on Tuesday that
    he failed to do for his former wife Carmel Tebbutt when the two traveled
    together.

    Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has  questioned the alleged personal requests Mr
    Albanese made to Mr Joyce  while in his various parliamentary jobs

    Even when Scott Morrison was prime minister, Mr
    Joyce appeared to have a close relationship with Mr Albanese (the pair
    are pictured at an event in 2019)

    Sky New host Sharri Markson on Monday night labeled Mr Joyce as ‘basically Albanese’s personal travel
    agent.’

    ‘This is all a question of integrity. Most Australians struggle to afford even an economy airfare.
    They’d never be able to afford the luxury of
    business class. It’s out of our reach,’ she said.

    ‘Can Albanese truly be impartial when it comes to making decisions about
    Qantas when he’s been getting tens of thousands of dollars worth of
    free upgrades to business class? The revelations puts the decision he
    made as transport minister and prime minister under a cloud.

    ‘Aside from the integrity issues, this revelation is also politically lethal.
    Albanese took care to curate a self-image of a housing commission boy who made it.
    But now the perception is cementing of a long-term
    pollie enjoying the perks of public office.’

    Another awkward paradox of Mr Albanese’s  apparent close relationship with Mr Joyce is that the Labor leader in a
    trade unionist advocate while Qantas attempted to break the power
    of the Transport Workers Union by sacking 1700 staff during Covid. 

    The sacking has since been ruled illegal by Federal
    Court in a case brought by the union with Qantas facing possible hundreds of thousands
    in compensation payouts. 

    The friendship however did find one perhaps unlikely defender in semi-retired 3AW radio star Neil Mitchell. 

    ‘Quick test: upgrade Albo is a bad look,’ Mitchell wrote on X.

    ‘But does anybody believe he was seriously compromised by having Alan Joyce as a bestie?

    Time to rewrite rules governing politicians.’ 

    WHAT IS THE QANTAS CHAIRMAN’S CLUB?

    The Qantas Chairman’s Lounge is an invitation-only club approved by the company chairman, with
    the guest list a closely-guarded secret.

    It has been dubbed ¿the most exclusive club in the country¿ and comes with
    a distinct black card.

    Members include senior-ranking MPs including ministers, state premiers and the Prime Minister, leaders of
    major unions and sporting groups, Qantas ambassadors, selected A-list celebrities,
    major corporate figures and high-profile media personalities.

    The clubs can be found in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide but
    are not signed, you have to know where to look.

    Inside you will find expensive wood and brass furnishings, wool carpet and marble flooring all bathed in natural light. 

    Members enjoy fine à la carte dining with a complimentary
    premium array of beers, spirits and Australian wines.

    Wine bottles are often given as departing gift

    Facilities may also include spas, showers and an assortment
    of books and magazines.

    Members may bring in two guests at a time. 

    Lounge attendants personally alert you when your flight is to board and your personal preferences
    are logged for each flight. Membership also entitles you to first-class facilities at Qantas partner airlines.

    free upgrades where they are available and a hotline to Qantas’s customer
    service for any and all travel needs.

  12. Forget tiny chihuahuas peeping out of handbags à la Paris Hilton, or Taylor
    Swift with her adorably grumpy looking Scottish Fold cats who
    have become celebrities in their own right. 

    When it comes to capturing my heart with a cuddly creature, it’s the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger, 75,
    who’s reinvented himself as the internet’s favourite granddad with his wholesome life with a menagerie of animals, who has won me over.

    The jewel in the crown of his ever-growing brood of beasts is Schnelly the
    pig, who joined the family in April last year, making the star the
    latest in a long list of celebrities to realise the joys of a porky
    pal – along with Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and the Beckhams. 

    I’m completely smitten with the cuteness of
    pet pigs. I lose hours scrolling through Instagram, looking
    at pictures of furry little piglets with pretty pink snouts.

    There are 255,000 Insta posts with the hashtag #petpig and I’ve probably looked at all of them.
    Then there’s the 286,000 posts hashtagged #micropig and I’d hazard a guess that I’ve seen all of
    those too.

    So I’m rather excited to discover that there’s a pig farm less than an hour from central
    London, where I can find out what it’s really like to have a porcine pet.

    While celebrities might get away with turning up to photoshoots, TV appearances and fancy restaurants with
    all manner of furry creatures, will I get the same reception if I take
    a pig for a stroll down the high street?

    Samantha Rea from London strolling down the high
    street in Old Amersham with Astrid, a 16 month old micro pig

    The pair stopped off at The Griffin, a private members club, bistro and bakery,
    for some refreshments after a trot down the high street 

    Samantha Rea spent time at the Kew Little Pig Farm in Amersham, Buckinghamshire to
    learn how to muck out and care for pigs 

    Learning how to feed hay to the pigs did make Samantha question whether it’s easier to stick with a dog or
    cat as a pet 

    I’m hoping the Kew Little Pigs Farm will help me find out.
    It specialises in miniature pigs, which pig lovers can buy
    or ‘adopt’ to visit on the farm.

    Then there are the day trips. The Piggy Pet
    & Play package lets visitors ‘pet, brush, groom, watch and
    play with the pigs.’ The Pig Enthusiast package can include putting sun cream on the pigs,
    and the Comprehensive Guide to Pig Keeping teaches
    you everything you need to know before buying your own micro pig.

    Clearly I must go there!

    And so I head to Amersham, in Buckinghamshire, where Kew Little Pigs Farm is based.

    When I arrive, owner Olivia Mikhail looks slightly concerned at the sight of my Converse trainers
    and cropped jeans, a combination that will surely result in splattered
    shins.

    However, Olivia has no idea just how prepared I
    actually am, because I have packed not only knee high wellies for my time
    on the farm, but also my designer heels, for my glimpse into what life’s like as a pig-owning
    celebrity.

    Milo passed away last year, describing him as the ‘heartbeat’ of the family

    Paris Hilton started the chihuahuas in handbags craze, and is also the proud owner of Princess Piglette

    George Clooney, Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus, Jonathan Ross, Charlotte Church and even the Beckhams have all kept pigs
    as pets over the past decade or so, while more recently Ariane Grande and Pete Davidson adopted
    Piggy Smallz during their short-lived romance. 

    Comedian John Bishop gave rescue pig Milo a home for more than a decade and was
    devastated when the pet passed away, saying he was the ‘heartbeat’ of the family.

    They’re as much a celeb accessory as oversized sunglasses – which is
    why I’ve brought those with me too.

    But first things first. Before I spend an afternoon taking a petite pig
    for a stroll, I sit down with Olivia in the Kew Little Pigs cafe, to complete the theory side of the
    Comprehensive Guide to Pig Keeping.

    It turns out there is quite a lot of admin involved in owning a pig, alongside a rule book thicker than Harry Potter. 

    Who knew that you needed a license to walk a pig? Who would imagine that
    you can’t feed pigs your kitchen leftovers? It used to be common practice,
    but has been banned because of the risk of diseases such as African swine
    flu and foot and mouth disease that can be spread by consuming contaminated pork products. 

    Who can fathom having to fill out a form
    to drive your pig from one place to another – again for disease
    control reasons? 

    After all the admin and mucking out, Samantha was delighted to move on to the fun part – cuddles with Astrid 

    Samantha found that mucking out the pig pen was actually a lot more civilised than picking up poo on a dog walk 

    Samantha came armed with wellies for her day at the farm, but made sure
    to keep it glamorous 

    After swapping her flimsy trainers for wellies, Samantha felt equipped to tackle her
    day on the farm 

    And who would guess that pigs have to have their
    own house? I mean, it’s only got to be about the size of
    shed, but it’s actually a law to uphold welfare standards.

    I suppose none of this is an issue for celebrities who have people to do paperwork for them – not to
    mention acres of space – but to me it seems insurmountable.

    Olivia senses that my dreams are crushed and attempts to reassure me: ‘It’s
    really not that much paperwork. Look, filling in this form would take two minutes.’ 

    Moving on from the theory, we head outside for the practical part of the course.

    Here, in large pens, are lots of little pigs which are super cute, so this makes me happy.

    I am given a rake to claw the pig poo into a dustpan. Both the rake and the
    dustpan have long handles and I like the distance this creates.
    It is certainly more civilised than picking up poo in a flimsy plastic bag on a dog walk. 

    Clearing away pig excrement with proper equipment which
    allows you to maintain a civilised, and sanitary,
    distance makes me wonder if – despite the paperwork
    – pigs might just trump dogs.

    Samantha was worried she might attract stares
    walking Astrid through town, but nobody batted an eyelid 

    Samantha treated herself to a hot chocolate while Astrid enjoyed some pig treats 

    Samantha swapped her wellington boots for high heels
    to glam up to take her pet pig down to the town centre for lunch

    Taking a pig out for a walk is trickier than it looks, and a lot of treats are required to keep things on track 

    Next, Olivia asks if I would like to feed the pigs.
    Yes of course! She hands me some hay that’s stuffed inside what’s basically a large fishnet stocking, the size of Santa’s sack.

    The hay sticks out of all the holes, and it’s my job to
    hang up the sack in the pig pen, so the pigs can eat from it.

    This sounds easy. Only it’s not. ‘NOT THERE! NO! IT’S GOT TO BE HIGHER!
    TIE IT ROUND THE POST! NO! NOT LIKE THAT!
    NO!’

    I feel like a failing contestant on The Crystal Maze,
    only this is worse because I’m now surrounded by hungry pigs
    and I cannot see a panic button.

    I swear there was something on Netflix where murdered bodies were dumped in a
    pig pen, to be eaten by the pigs. Or maybe the bodies were eaten alive.

    This definitely happens all the time, according to TV, and now I don’t even know
    which is worse, the prospect of being felled by pigs eating through my ankles,
    or the pressure to hang the hay correctly.

    It is like my challenge on The Crystal Maze has been especially devised to amuse the inhabitants of hell.

    I find myself grateful to make it out of the pig pen alive.
    Surely I get to do celebrity stuff now?

    Celebrities’ pigs are as stylish as their owners, so I’ve
    sourced designer outfits for my trottered chums.
    I’d initially looked at diamond chokers by Dior, because what pig wouldn’t want a
    diamond collar? But apparently pigs are happier in harnesses, which fit around the body, not just the neck.

    I hunt for a harness that an A-lister might pick for their pig, and
    I am delighted to discover a pink leopard print harness
    with a matching lead. 

    It is by Urban Pup, a pet fashion brand whose website I’ve now spent more time on than all the other websites in my search history.

    There’s the zebra print, the cheetah print, the pink argyle;
    the florals, the tartans, and the hearts. There’s the range inspired by Legally Blonde and
    the pet carrier that resembles a pink Chanel handbag.

    Then there are the socks…

    I turn up at the farm with more outfits for the pigs than I
    have for myself. I guess this is what it’s like being a pig parent: #SELFLESS

    I am introduced to Astrid, a 16 month old micro piglet who’ll fulfill my dreams of
    walking a pig. I show Olivia all the outfits I’ve brought from Urban Pup and she picks out a pink tartan harness with a matching lead.

    I want to dress up all the pigs but Olivia says no. That’s OK.
    There is probably some law about only one pig at a time looking
    this stunning.

    When Astrid and I are dressed, we head into Old Amersham.
    It’s a pretty market town in the Chilterns with cobbled streets and quaint white buildings with
    beams.

    So how will locals feel about a pig on a lead?

    I imagine I may be sternly spoken to by a member of the Women’s Institute.
    However, it turns out that Old Amersham is perfectly au fait with celebrity
    antics, given that Poirot, Midsomer Murders and Four Weddings and a Funeral have all been filmed there.

    On my pig keeping course I have learnt that pigs never poo where they
    eat, sleep or socialise, because they’re very clean, so from day one,
    without any training, a pig will go outside to poo.

    I am surprised then, as I arrive in Old Amersham, to find that Astrid has done her business in her carry
    box. I try not to think about this, as I hold her lead.

    Our first stop is the Amersham Museum. I’m not a massive fan of
    walking around looking at things, but I hear
    the museum homes a Tudor dining table that visitors are welcome to sit at.
    It is about lunchtime, so I’m hopeful I’ll be served a Tudor banquet.

    I quite fancy a tankard of wine and a bit of wild boar.

    Unfortunately, Astrid does not, and so, despite being welcomed
    by museum director Briony, we leave pretty much as soon as we arrive.

    We go for a stroll instead, but I have to scatter pig food pellets to coax Astrid along the pavement.
    I guess celebrities get their assistants to walk ahead, trailing treats to
    entice the pet pigs in the right direction.

    However, doing it without an assistant, I find myself thinking that it’s definitely easier to walk
    a dog.

    Celebrity life is about lounging in luxurious surroundings, so Astrid and
    I head to The Griffin, a private members club, bistro and bakery,
    that’s pretty much the Soho House of Amersham.

    In the beamed building that dates back to the 17th century, there
    are gorgeous leather sofas and cosy cushions.
    However, I have learnt on my pig keeping course that pigs are happiest alfresco, so Astrid
    and I take a seat on the astro-turf terrace, beneath a pretty
    parasol that wouldn’t be out of place in a Cotswolds
    shoot for Tatler.

    It is here, as we relax like A-listers, that Astrid and I are at our happiest.
    As I sip a coffee and eye-up a chocolate brownie (I’m being a celebrity,
    remember, I don’t actually eat these things), Astrid puts her trotters up on the seat beside me and enjoys a
    few pig food pellets.

    Clearly this is our natural environment, so it’s probably just a matter of time before Astrid
    is snapped up by a celebrity to live life first class. 

    But for now, Astrid must mooch back to the mud, and I
    must head home to wash pig poo off my wellies.

    I am chuffed to bits to have spent an afternoon with Astrid, but as I think it all
    over, on the train back to Marylebone, I know that
    I’ll never keep a pig as a pet. 

    Aside from all the legal red tape, my lack of space in London, and the trickiness
    of trying to take a pig for a walk, there’s always the fear that the micro pig might turn out to be not so tiny after all. 

    I’ve seen headlines about 4 ounce “teacup” pigs growing bigger than a bear, and frankly I find
    it terrifying. So I’ll leave the pet pigs to the
    celebrities.

  13. Joaquin Phoenix has revealed that he spoke with filmmaker Christopher Nolan about playing
    Joker which ultimately went to Heath Ledger.

    The 50-year-old actor – whose latest flick Joker: Folie À Deux
    could be streamed now – got candid about potentially playing
    the supervillain before he actually portrayed him.

    Joaquin recently appeared on Rick Rubin’s Tetragrammaton podcast as he revealed that he spoke to the 54-year-old Oscar-winning filmmaker Nolan about
    portraying Joker over a decade before.

    He said: That didn’t… wasn’t going to happen for a number of reasons.

    I wasn’t ready then.

    ‘That’s one of those things sometimes where you go:
    “Why am I not doing this project? What is stopping me from doing this? Well it’s not about me, there’s something else. There’s another person that’s going to do something that’s like, I can’t imagine what it would be if we didn’t have Heath Ledger‘s performance in that film.”‘

    In 2020, Joaquin earned the Best Lead Actor Oscar for Todd Phillips directed Joker which was 11 years after
    Ledger (pictured) posthumously earned Best Supporting Actor for The Dark Knight in 2009

    Joker: Folie À Deux heading to streaming after box office flop

    In 2020, Joaquin earned the Best Lead Actor Oscar for Todd Phillips directed
    Joker which was 11 years after Ledger posthumously earned Best Supporting Actor for The Dark Knight in 2009.

    Joaquin continued: ‘I don’t know whether Christopher Nolan was coming
    to me saying, “You are definitely the person.” 

    ‘I can’t remember the context of how we met. But I know that we met,
    and my feeling was, “I shouldn’t do this.” But maybe he also was like, “You’re not the guy.” I
    couldn’t say.’

    Heath died in a New York City apartment on January 22, 2008, after accidentally overdosing following months of physical and mental exhaustion.

    The Dark Knight actor died aged 28 after taking a fatal cocktail of drugs,
    leaving behind his daughter, who was two years old at the time.

    Meanwhile Joker: Folie À Deux can now be streamed, just weeks
    after its theatrical release. 

    The movie, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, is now available to rent from home starting October 29,
    in an effort to recoup some of Warner Bros.
    investment into the film, as per Variety.

    The musical, which bombed at the box office, is ‘poised to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical run’ according to the publication.

    Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as box office
    champ

    The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce
    the film and about $100 million on marketing and distribution, according to the report.

    It would need to gross about $450 million at the box
    office to break even — when factoring in the cut taken by theaters — though Warner Bros.
    sources claim the number is $375 million.

    A Warner Bros. spokesperson responded to the report, saying ‘Any estimates
    suggested by anonymous “insiders” or “rival executives” are grossly wrong and continues a
    trend where rumor is reported as fact.’

    ‘The film continues to play in theatrical release, included with this week’s opening
    in China, and will continue to earn revenue throughout its home viewing and ancillary run.’

    So far, the musical about Batman’s nemesis has grossed $51.5 million domestically and $165 million globally after two weeks
    of release.

    In comparison, the first Joker grossed $96.2 million domestically and $248.4 million globally
    after three days of release.

    The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film
    was considered a surefire hit for Warner Bros Pictures, yet ended
    up being slammed by critics and failed to ignite at the
    box office. 

    Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book
    movie history as the film bombed at the box office on opening night. 

    The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized as ‘bleak’
    and ‘disappointing’ — officially released in theaters on Friday, October 4.

    Joker: Folie À Deux, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, can be streamed now,
    just weeks after its theatrical release; Phoenix and Gaga seen in a still

    Phoenix reprised his role as the Joker in the sequel, which had earned him an Oscar for his
    portrayal in the 2019 film, while Gaga took on the role of Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley
    Quinn)

    Phoenix reprised his role as the Joker in the
    sequel, which had earned him an Oscar for his portrayal in the
    2019 film, while Gaga took on the role of Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn).

    However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D rating on CinemaScore — the lowest score for a
    comic book movie.

    Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier this year and also
    received terrible reviews — holds a higher score with a C+.

    On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of
    31% and a critic score of 32%.

    The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a musical and ‘ignoring’ the DC
    fanbase – with an agent familiar with director Todd Phillips’ process telling Variety he ‘wanted nothing to
    do with DC’ during the making of the film, with DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran notably
    absent from the film’s LA premiere afterparty last month. 

    A source said: ‘If the first movie was about some down-on-his-luck,
    mentally ill guy in a downtrodden city, it makes maybe
    $150 [million] worldwide. Not a billion. People showed up because that
    guy was Joker.’

    In an apparent snub by Phillips, the opening sequence of the film does not include a DC Studios logo.

    A Warner spokesman added that a DC logo appears at the end
    of the Joker sequel, while Phillips declined to comment to the
    publication.

    Several frictions are said to have developed between Phillips, DC
    and Warner- with claims that Michael DeLuca, Chairperson of Warner Bros.
    Entertainment, and CEO Pamela Abdy seemed ‘unwilling’ to
    say no to Phillips due to his huge past successes.

    It is claimed Phillips would ‘only’ speak with DeLuca and Abdy rather than Gunn and Safran –
    who took control of DC two months before production began on Joker 2 in December 2022.

    Gunn and Safran did attend the first director’s cut screening for the studio but Phillips fueled rift
    speculation when he told a reporter: ‘With all due respect to them,
    this is kind of a Warner Bros. movie.’

    Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav also met
    with Phillips shortly after WarnerMedia and Discovery merged
    in April 2022 and was ‘open to filming in Los Angeles if the director would
    make the sequel at a lower price point.’

    The studio wanted to film in London which would have cost around 20 per cent less.

    A source directly involved with the film recently shared: ‘The one thing about genre stuff: If you don’t
    listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are, you’re going to fail’; director Todd Phillips
    seen with Gaga and Phoenix at the LA premiere September 30

    However, Phillips insisted on filming in LA with
    the budget remaining static.

    A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio ‘supported the decision to film in Los Angeles’.

    A source directly involved with the film said: ‘No one could
    get through to Todd. And the one thing about genre stuff: If you
    don’t listen and pay attention to what the fan expectations are, you’re going to
    fail.

    Insiders also claim studio bosses did not want to premiere the film at the Venice Film Festival, but Phillips pushed back
    – with a Warner spokesman saying the studio ‘fully supported the decision to bring the film to
    Venice. 

    Along with Gaga and Phoenix, other stars that had appeared in the sequel include Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener,
    Zazie Beatz and Steve Coogan.

  14. Celine Dion had a hilarious reaction to her hit, My Heart
    Will Go On, in a new video this week.

    The iconic songstress, 56, who is best known for the 1997 Titanic soundtrack song, was
    seen attempting to stream her rendition of Edith Piaf’s Hymne à l’amour –
    but Siri failed to understand her and instead suggested My Heart Will Go On.

    In the clip, Dion says: ‘Hey Siri, play Hymne à l’amour by Céline Dion?’ with Siri responding: ‘I cannot find that track by
    Céline Dion but here is My Heart Will Go On. ”

    A frustrated Dion said: ‘No! Hello, No, no, no, Hey Siri, can you play Hymne à l’amour by Céline Dion please?’

    Again, Siri replied: ‘I cannot find that track by Céline Dion but here is My Heart Will Go On.’

    How Celine Dion fought Stiff Person Syndrome every day to be fit to open the Olympics

    Dion burst out laughing and said ‘never mind!’ before suggesting she ask the question in a strong French accent.

    After this Siri responded: ‘Okay, here is ‘Hymne à l’amour by Céline Dion.’

    Dion looked shocked before smiling and giving the thumbs up.

    In July Dion made a musical comeback with the track at the 2024 Paris Olympic Opening Ceremony amid her battle with incurable condition, stiff-person syndrome.

    28 years after making her Olympic debut in 1996 at Atlanta’s stadium, Celine proved she’s still got it following her emotional act in the French city at the Eiffel Tower.

    And after bringing fans to tears, Celine reflected on the iconic moment with a heartfelt message on X.

    She wrote: ‘I’m honored to have performed tonight, for the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, and so full of joy to be back in one of my very favorite cities!

    ‘Most of all, I’m so happy to be celebrating these amazing athletes, with all their stories of sacrifice and determination, pain and perseverance.

    In the clip, Dion says: ‘Hey Siri, play Hymne à l’amour by Céline Dion?’ with Siri responding: ‘I cannot find that track by Céline Dion but here is My Heart Will Go On. ”
    A frustrated Dion said: ‘No! Hello, No, no, no’

    Again, Siri replied: ‘I cannot find that track by Céline Dion but here is
    My Heart Will Go On’

    In July Dion made a musical comeback with the
    track at the 2024 Paris Olympic Opening Ceremony amid her battle with incurable condition, stiff-person syndrome 

    ‘All of you have been so focused on your dream,
    and whether or not you take home a medal, I hope that being here
    means that it has come true for you!

    ‘You should all be so proud, we know how hard you have worked to be the best of the best.
    Stay focused, keep going, my heart is with you!
    – Celine xx…’

    Celine looked incredible in a shimmering silver gown as she performed in front of the Eiffel Tower.

    She gave a rendition of Hymne à L’amour, which was originally sung by French music icon Edith Piaf.

    The song was originally released in 1950 and its
    title translates into English as ‘Hymn to Love.’

    The My Heart Will Go On songstress looked to be on the verge of tears as
    she finished the performance to cheers from the crowd,
    whilst viewers at home were also left emotional.

  15. Forget tiny chihuahuas peeping out of handbags à la Paris Hilton, or Taylor
    Swift with her adorably grumpy looking Scottish Fold cats
    who have become celebrities in their own right. 

    When it comes to capturing my heart with a cuddly creature, it’s the likes of
    Arnold Schwarzenegger, 75, who’s reinvented himself as the internet’s favourite granddad with his wholesome life with a
    menagerie of animals, who has won me over.

    The jewel in the crown of his ever-growing brood of beasts is Schnelly the pig, who
    joined the family in April last year, making the star
    the latest in a long list of celebrities to realise the joys of a porky pal –
    along with Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and the Beckhams. 

    I’m completely smitten with the cuteness of pet pigs.
    I lose hours scrolling through Instagram, looking at pictures of furry
    little piglets with pretty pink snouts.

    There are 255,000 Insta posts with the hashtag #petpig and I’ve probably looked at all of
    them. Then there’s the 286,000 posts hashtagged #micropig and I’d hazard a
    guess that I’ve seen all of those too.

    So I’m rather excited to discover that there’s a
    pig farm less than an hour from central London, where I can find out
    what it’s really like to have a porcine pet.

    While celebrities might get away with turning up to photoshoots,
    TV appearances and fancy restaurants with all manner of furry creatures,
    will I get the same reception if I take a pig for a stroll down the high street?

    The pair stopped off at The Griffin, a private members club, bistro and bakery,
    for some refreshments after a trot down the high street 

    Samantha Rea spent time at the Kew Little Pig Farm in Amersham, Buckinghamshire to learn how to muck out and care
    for pigs 

    Learning how to feed hay to the pigs did make Samantha question whether it’s easier
    to stick with a dog or cat as a pet 

    I’m hoping the Kew Little Pigs Farm will help me find out.
    It specialises in miniature pigs, which pig lovers can buy or ‘adopt’ to visit on the
    farm.

    Then there are the day trips. The Piggy Pet & Play package lets visitors ‘pet, brush, groom, watch and play
    with the pigs.’ The Pig Enthusiast package can include putting sun cream
    on the pigs, and the Comprehensive Guide to Pig Keeping teaches you everything you need to know before buying your own micro pig.

    Clearly I must go there!

    And so I head to Amersham, in Buckinghamshire, where Kew Little Pigs Farm is based.

    When I arrive, owner Olivia Mikhail looks slightly concerned at the sight of my
    Converse trainers and cropped jeans, a combination that will surely result
    in splattered shins.

    However, Olivia has no idea just how prepared I actually am,
    because I have packed not only knee high wellies for my time on the farm, but also my designer
    heels, for my glimpse into what life’s like as a pig-owning celebrity.

    George Clooney, Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus, Jonathan Ross, Charlotte Church and even the Beckhams have all kept
    pigs as pets over the past decade or so, while more recently Ariane Grande and Pete Davidson adopted Piggy Smallz during
    their short-lived romance. 

    Comedian John Bishop gave rescue pig Milo a home for more than a decade and was devastated when the pet passed away, saying he was the ‘heartbeat’ of the family.

    They’re as much a celeb accessory as oversized sunglasses
    – which is why I’ve brought those with me too.

    But first things first. Before I spend an afternoon taking a petite
    pig for a stroll, I sit down with Olivia in the Kew Little Pigs cafe, to complete the theory side of the Comprehensive
    Guide to Pig Keeping.

    It turns out there is quite a lot of admin involved in owning a pig, alongside a rule book thicker than Harry Potter. 

    Who knew that you needed a license to walk a pig?
    Who would imagine that you can’t feed pigs your kitchen leftovers?

    It used to be common practice, but has been banned because of the risk of diseases such as
    African swine flu and foot and mouth disease that can be spread by consuming
    contaminated pork products. 

    Who can fathom having to fill out a form to drive your pig from one place to another – again for disease control reasons? 

    After all the admin and mucking out, Samantha was delighted to move on to the fun part – cuddles
    with Astrid 

    Samantha found that mucking out the pig pen was actually a
    lot more civilised than picking up poo on a dog walk 

    Samantha came armed with wellies for her day at the farm, but made sure to keep it glamorous 

    After swapping her flimsy trainers for wellies, Samantha
    felt equipped to tackle her day on the farm 

    And who would guess that pigs have to have
    their own house? I mean, it’s only got to be about the size of shed, but it’s actually
    a law to uphold welfare standards.

    I suppose none of this is an issue for celebrities who have people to do paperwork for them – not to mention acres
    of space – but to me it seems insurmountable.

    Olivia senses that my dreams are crushed and attempts to reassure me:
    ‘It’s really not that much paperwork. Look, filling in this form would take two minutes.’ 

    Moving on from the theory, we head outside for the practical part of the course.
    Here, in large pens, are lots of little pigs which are super cute, so this makes me happy.

    I am given a rake to claw the pig poo into a dustpan. Both the rake and the dustpan have long
    handles and I like the distance this creates. It is certainly more civilised than picking up poo in a flimsy plastic
    bag on a dog walk. 

    Clearing away pig excrement with proper equipment which allows you
    to maintain a civilised, and sanitary, distance makes me
    wonder if – despite the paperwork – pigs might just trump dogs.

    Samantha was worried she might attract stares walking Astrid through town, but nobody batted an eyelid 

    Samantha treated herself to a hot chocolate while Astrid
    enjoyed some pig treats 

    Samantha swapped her wellington boots for high heels to glam up
    to take her pet pig down to the town centre for lunch

    Taking a pig out for a walk is trickier than it looks, and a lot of treats are required to keep things on track 

    Next, Olivia asks if I would like to feed the pigs. Yes of course!

    She hands me some hay that’s stuffed inside what’s basically a large
    fishnet stocking, the size of Santa’s sack. The hay sticks out of all the holes, and
    it’s my job to hang up the sack in the pig pen, so
    the pigs can eat from it.

    This sounds easy. Only it’s not. ‘NOT THERE! NO! IT’S GOT TO BE HIGHER!
    TIE IT ROUND THE POST! NO! NOT LIKE THAT! NO!’

    I feel like a failing contestant on The Crystal Maze, only this is worse because I’m now
    surrounded by hungry pigs and I cannot see
    a panic button.

    I swear there was something on Netflix where murdered bodies were dumped in a
    pig pen, to be eaten by the pigs. Or maybe the bodies
    were eaten alive. This definitely happens all the time, according to TV, and now I don’t
    even know which is worse, the prospect of being felled by pigs eating through my ankles, or
    the pressure to hang the hay correctly.

    It is like my challenge on The Crystal Maze has been especially devised
    to amuse the inhabitants of hell.

    I find myself grateful to make it out of the pig pen alive.
    Surely I get to do celebrity stuff now?

    Celebrities’ pigs are as stylish as their owners, so I’ve sourced
    designer outfits for my trottered chums. I’d initially looked at diamond chokers by Dior,
    because what pig wouldn’t want a diamond collar? But apparently pigs are happier in harnesses, which fit around the body,
    not just the neck.

    I hunt for a harness that an A-lister might pick for their pig,
    and I am delighted to discover a pink leopard print harness with a matching lead. 

    It is by Urban Pup, a pet fashion brand whose website I’ve now spent more time on than all the other websites in my search history.

    There’s the zebra print, the cheetah print, the pink argyle; the florals, the tartans, and the hearts.
    There’s the range inspired by Legally Blonde and the pet carrier that
    resembles a pink Chanel handbag.

    Then there are the socks…

    I turn up at the farm with more outfits for the pigs than I have for myself.
    I guess this is what it’s like being a pig parent: #SELFLESS

    I am introduced to Astrid, a 16 month old micro piglet
    who’ll fulfill my dreams of walking a pig. I show Olivia all
    the outfits I’ve brought from Urban Pup and
    she picks out a pink tartan harness with a matching lead.

    I want to dress up all the pigs but Olivia says no. That’s
    OK. There is probably some law about only one pig at a time looking this stunning.

    When Astrid and I are dressed, we head into Old Amersham.
    It’s a pretty market town in the Chilterns with cobbled streets and quaint white buildings with beams.

    So how will locals feel about a pig on a lead?

    I imagine I may be sternly spoken to by a member of the Women’s Institute.
    However, it turns out that Old Amersham is perfectly au fait with celebrity antics, given that Poirot,
    Midsomer Murders and Four Weddings and a Funeral have all been filmed there.

    On my pig keeping course I have learnt that pigs never poo where they eat, sleep or
    socialise, because they’re very clean, so from day
    one, without any training, a pig will go outside to poo.

    I am surprised then, as I arrive in Old Amersham,
    to find that Astrid has done her business in her carry box.
    I try not to think about this, as I hold her lead.

    Our first stop is the Amersham Museum. I’m not a massive fan of walking around looking at things, but I hear the museum
    homes a Tudor dining table that visitors are welcome to sit at.
    It is about lunchtime, so I’m hopeful I’ll be served a Tudor
    banquet. I quite fancy a tankard of wine and a bit of wild boar.

    Unfortunately, Astrid does not, and so, despite being welcomed by museum
    director Briony, we leave pretty much as soon as we arrive.

    We go for a stroll instead, but I have to scatter pig food
    pellets to coax Astrid along the pavement. I guess celebrities get
    their assistants to walk ahead, trailing treats to entice the pet pigs in the right direction. 

    Hard at work: Writer Samantha Rea tried the Comprehensive Guide to Pig Keeping,
    which  teaches you everything you need to know before buying your own micro pig

    However, doing it without an assistant, I find myself thinking that it’s definitely easier to
    walk a dog.

    Celebrity life is about lounging in luxurious surroundings,
    so Astrid and I head to The Griffin, a private members club, bistro and
    bakery, that’s pretty much the Soho House of Amersham.

    In the beamed building that dates back to the 17th century, there are gorgeous
    leather sofas and cosy cushions. However, I have learnt on my pig
    keeping course that pigs are happiest alfresco, so Astrid and I take a seat on the astro-turf terrace, beneath a
    pretty parasol that wouldn’t be out of place in a Cotswolds shoot for Tatler.

    It is here, as we relax like A-listers, that Astrid and I are at
    our happiest. As I sip a coffee and eye-up a chocolate
    brownie (I’m being a celebrity, remember, I don’t actually
    eat these things), Astrid puts her trotters up on the seat beside me and enjoys a
    few pig food pellets.

    Clearly this is our natural environment, so it’s probably just a
    matter of time before Astrid is snapped up by a celebrity to live life first class. 

    But for now, Astrid must mooch back to the mud, and I must head home to wash pig poo
    off my wellies.

    I am chuffed to bits to have spent an afternoon with Astrid, but as I think
    it all over, on the train back to Marylebone, I know that
    I’ll never keep a pig as a pet. 

    Aside from all the legal red tape, my lack of space in London, and the trickiness
    of trying to take a pig for a walk, there’s always the fear that the micro pig might turn out to be not so tiny after all. 

    I’ve seen headlines about 4 ounce “teacup”
    pigs growing bigger than a bear, and frankly I find it terrifying.
    So I’ll leave the pet pigs to the celebrities.

    The Definition and Characteristics of Alternative Fashion
    Alternative fashion represents a departure from mainstream
    trends, allowing individuals to express their uniqueness
    and embrace their individuality. It encompasses a diverse range of
    styles that challenge traditional norms and break free from the
    confines of conventional fashion.

    At the heart of alternative fashion lies the desire to create unconventional silhouettes, bold designs, and daring fabrics that push the
    boundaries of traditional aesthetics. It is a celebration of originality and seeks to redefine what is considered fashionable.

    The defining characteristic of alternative fashion is its departure from
    the mainstream. It rejects the idea of conforming to a single standard and embraces a DIY ethos that
    values uniqueness and personal expression.

    Handmade pieces and limited-edition items are often cherished within the alternative fashion community.
    They embody the spirit of creativity and individuality, allowing fashion enthusiasts to curate a wardrobe that is truly one-of-a-kind.

    Alternative fashion encourages individuals to embrace their true selves, rejecting societal expectations
    and embracing their inner spirit. It provides a
    platform for self-expression and challenges the notion that fashion should
    be dictated by popular trends.

    “Alternative fashion is about celebrating individuality and embracing the freedom to express yourself through unconventional style choices.”

    Whether it’s gothic, punk, bohemian, or any other subculture, alternative fashion offers
    a means of self-discovery and connection. By embracing alternative fashion, individuals can find a sense of belonging by aligning themselves with like-minded individuals
    who share a passion for unique aesthetics and artistic expression.

    Ultimately, alternative fashion is a visual representation of one’s personality and a means to
    break free from societal norms. It empowers individuals to celebrate their individuality
    and challenge the status quo, embracing their true selves in a world
    that often demands conformity.

    Embracing Subcultures and Countercultures Through Alternative Fashion
    Alternative fashion not only allows individuals to express their unique sense of style but also provides a platform for connecting with various
    subcultures and countercultures. By embracing alternative fashion, individuals can align themselves with like-minded
    individuals and showcase their personal style.

    Subcultures such as gothic, punk, bohemian, and vintage offer distinctive styles and aesthetics
    that allow individuals to break away from mainstream fashion trends.
    These subcultures create a sense of belongingness and connection, where individuals can find a community that shares
    their passions and values.

    “Alternative fashion has given me the freedom to express my identity and connect with others who share my passion for unconventional style. By embracing gothic fashion, I have found a community where I truly belong.” –
    Emily, gothic enthusiast

    Embracing alternative fashion involves immersing oneself in the music, art, literature, and ideologies associated with these subcultures.
    It’s about more than just clothing – it’s
    a lifestyle that promotes individuality and self-expression.

    Table:

    | Subculture | Style Description | Key Elements |

    their uniqueness and find a sense of belongingness in a world that
    values self-expression and individuality.

  17. Anyone who knows me has invariably been subject to a spiel about how much I love
    Claudia Winkleman. In part, it’s because she’s so silly, and in part, it’s because
    I’m a huge fan of everything she presents, from Strictly to The Traitors. 

    But even more than any of that, it’s because I’m obsessed with everything she
    wears. I’ve spent a fortune copying her exact outfits,
    from her Sister Jane heart cutout dress to a bedazzled Nadine Merabi
    blazer that I definitely don’t go anywhere fancy enough to wear.

    Since 2005, Claudia has worked with stylist Sinead
    McKeefry to perfect her signature style. I’d describe it as soft goth: lots
    of black, velvet and chunky knits, with a fair
    few sequins and prints (particularly tartan) thrown in. I’m not alone
    in my reverence: there are entire Instagram accounts dedicated to tracking down the presenter’s outfits.
    But while they offer incredibly useful style inspo,
    two issues arise repeatedly: Claudia’s clothes are usually
    hugely expensive or sold out (or both).

    So when the Strictly host stepped out in a typically preppy
    black velvet mini dress on Sunday, you’d be
    forgiven for assuming it was by some top-end designer.
    Well, you’d be wrong. The mini dress actually came courtesy
    of one of our favourite high street brands, Albaray – and
    you can pick it up for less than £100.

    The dress is made from plush fabric with contrast
    satin detailing. The velvet makes it a little festive, perfect for celebratory bashes over the next few months, particularly when paired with white stilettos
    à la Claud. But it could be just as easily dressed down with white trainers or ballet flats
    and a trench for a chic office outfit, so you’ll certainly get your wear out of it.  

    Like all of Albaray’s products, it’s ethically made using
    responsible fabric and sent via a carbon-neutral shipping method,
    so you can feel good about the dress’s eco-credentials as well as how it looks.

    It’s currently in stock in a few sizes online (and in certain John Lewis concessions) but like most things Claudia wears,
    it won’t stick around long. Now excuse me while I
    go and add to cart.

  22. All six senior members of the new federal anti-corruption watchdog have accepted Qantas Chairman’s Lounge memberships as calls grow to refer Anthony Albanese
    over the perks he took from the airline. 

    Gift disclosure logs for the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC)
    leadership positions show commissioners are all part of Australia’s
    ‘most exclusive club’ the Chairman’s Lounge membership extended by invite only by the Qantas chair.

    This has raised concerns over how impartial the body would be when dealing
    with Qantas matters. 

    If Mr Albanese has requested flight upgrades from former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce directly, as reported in a new book, he may have fallen foul
    of the strict Ministerial Code of Conduct which prohibits ministers from seeking ‘any kind
    of benefit’ 

    Commissioner Paul Brereton declared Chairman’s Lounge membership in 2023, as did the CEO Philip Reed and deputy commissioners
    Jaala Hinchcliffe and Nicole Rose, Sky News reported on Wednesday. 

    Deputy commissioners Ben Gauntlett and Kylie Kilgour declared their membership
    in February 2024, which means it was after the NACC began operation in July 2023.

    where secret deals can be done

     

    An NACC spokesperson confirmed the Commissioner, three deputy commissioners and CEO are members of the Chairman’s lounge.

    ‘This does not impact the integrity of the Commission,’ the spokesman said.

    ‘Each of the statutory office holders has made appropriate declarations
    in regards to Chairman’s lounge membership in the NACC Gifts and Benefits register.

    ‘Qantas is not a Commonwealth agency within the Commission’s jurisdiction.’

    Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and his deputy Sussan Ley have said the Prime Minister
    should refer himself to the NACC over 22 upgrades and extra Chairman’s Lounge memberships
    received from Qantas. 

    An insight into the type of service offered by the Chairman’s Lounges was offered by a job ad posted
    on employment site Indeed for the one at Canberra Airport.

    The ad, placed by hotel group Accor that Qantas contracts
    to run the lounges, stated they were seeking ‘a highly motivated Food & Beverage Attendant
    to join our experienced and professional Front of House team’.

    ‘This role is based within the Chairman’s Lounge, a small fine
    dining restaurant and lounge area that offers an a la carte menu designed by Neil Perry Consulting,’
    the ad states. 

    ‘Service is discrete yet attentive, providing friendly and efficient food and beverage offerings that meets our passengers’ expectations.’

    The Qantas Chairman’s Lounge (pictured Sydney Airport) has been described as Australia’s most exclusive club

    Former Qantas CEO Alan Joyce proudly walks the red carpet with one arm around the prime minister and the other
    around his partner Jodie Haydon

    A job ad for the Canberra Qantas Chairman’s Lounge
    sets out the requirements to serve the high and mighty

    Applicants must ‘have experience working in a fine dining environment and the ability to work a seven- day
    rotating roster.

    The claims Albanese received 22 upgrades from economy
    when booking Qantas flight by personally requesting them
    from Mr Joyce are made in a new book The Chairman’s Lounge by former Australian Financial Review columnist Joe Aston. 

    Aston alleged Mr Albanese directly contacted Mr Joyce while in his
    various parliamentary jobs, which included Minister for Transport to ask for special upgrades that
    only the CEO could dole out for himself or his family.

    According to unnamed Qantas ‘insiders’ 11 of the 22 flights Mr Albanese received upgrades for were ‘privately
    funded’ and included overseas trips to Rome, London, Los Angeles and Honolulu.

    The book also revealed that as well as son Nathan having a ‘plus one’ Chairman’s
    Lounge membership Mr Albanese’s partner Jodie Haydon did as well. 

    Mr Albanese insisted on Tuesday that all were ‘declared in the
    appropriate way’.

    WHAT IS THE QANTAS CHAIRMAN’S CLUB?

    The Qantas Chairman’s Lounge is an invitation-only club approved by the company chairman, with
    the guest list a closely-guarded secret.

    It has been dubbed ¿the most exclusive club in the
    country¿ and comes with a distinct black card.

    Members include senior-ranking MPs including ministers, state premiers and the Prime Minister, leaders of major unions and sporting groups,
    Qantas ambassadors, selected A-list celebrities, major corporate
    figures and high-profile media personalities.

    The clubs can be found in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra,
    Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide but are not signed, you have to know where to look.

    Inside you will find expensive wood and brass furnishings, wool carpet and marble flooring all bathed in natural light. 

    Members enjoy fine à la carte dining with a complimentary premium
    array of beers, spirits and Australian wines. Wine bottles are often given as departing gift

    Facilities may also include spas, showers and an assortment
    of books and magazines.

    Members may bring in two guests at a time. 

    Lounge attendants personally alert you when your flight is to board and your personal preferences
    are logged for each flight. Membership also entitles you to first-class facilities at Qantas partner airlines.

  23. Bright and early, my old friend, the beauty and wellness entrepreneur Liz
    Earle, is standing at my door clutching a Kilner jar with what looks like a small sponge floating in murky water.

    ‘I made kombucha for you,’ she says with an enthusiasm
    I don’t entirely share.

    (The sponge, it turns out, is the Scoby, or
    ‘symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast’, which is what’s used to
    ferment sweetened tea to make kombucha. I don’t realise at the
    time, but this hideous thing takes weeks to develop and is in fact a very
    generous gift.)

    The truth is, I’d drink (almost) anything if it gave me Liz’s zip.
    At 61, a mother of five and a new grandmother, she honestly
    looks 20 years younger. Fans of her YouTube channel and
    her 170,000 Instagram followers will know how bright and smooth her skin is, but in person she is fizzing with energy,
    too.

    Liz and I have been friends for 25 years – over which
    time she has somehow seemed to gain in vitality
    as I, nine years her junior, have… well, deflated.

    Beauty and wellness entrepreneur Liz Earle, right, and Beatrice Aidin met back in the 1990s when they were both
    beauty journalists

    So here’s my plan. I am going to Live Like Liz for a full eight weeks, morning to night,
    to see just how much I, too, can turn back the clock.

    I am going to eat, drink and exercise like Liz, ‘ground myself’ in a flower bed in my pyjamas like
    her, and even tape up my mouth à la Liz. From my gut to my hormones, my brain to the very cells of my skin, I will follow the ‘bio-hacks’ set out in her new book A Better Second Half:
    Dial Back Your Age To Live A Longer, Healthier, Happier Life, which swiftly became
    a bestseller on its release this year.

    Liz says it can’t fail, so long as I commit to it.

    ‘Who’s to say we can’t or shouldn’t change the way we age?’ she
    asks.

    ‘I was stronger, fitter and more capable in my 50s than I was in my 40s, so why can’t
    I be even more so in my 60s, 70s and beyond?’

    Perhaps more significantly, after the ‘car crash of emotional wreckage’ caused by the breakdown of
    her second marriage, and the divorce she went through in 2020, she now says: ‘I’m happier at 61 than I was at 40.’

    Career-wise, it shows. When we met back in the 1990s we were both beauty journalists.
    At launches for new products, I’d merrily down the free Krug while Liz sipped sparkling water.
    ‘Ah Bea, you were the yin to my yang,’ she says.

    Now, her wellness empire has mushroomed… and I’m suffering major work anxiety,
    a not-unrelated financial crisis and severe sciatica.

    Frankly, I look and feel knackered. My skin is dull and I have dark circles under my eyes.
    Physical pain interferes with my sleep, and I’ve been turning rather too readily to the sauvignon blanc to help me
    nod off.

    Food is not a priority: I’m either not interested or craving sugar, which means
    I’m a good 10lb heavier than I should be.

    So, can living like my rather fabulous friend make me feel as young as she looks?
    More to the point – can I really stick to it, kombucha and all?

    ‘Come on Bea, get off your backside!’ Liz demands…

    Liz (left) puts Beatrice through her paces in the gym.
    Beatrice needs extra help with exercise because of her sciatica

    Week one: I face up to my middle-age spread
    Liz’s top-line diet philosophy is high-protein, low carb, meaning she’s a fan of lots of foods I love but didn’t think I should eat:
    butter, unprocessed meat, avocados, good quality cheese, taramasalata and thick Greek yoghurt.

    High protein helps us ‘shift to a leaner, more toned shape, and lose that middle-aged
    spread,’ she says.

    Timing matters. Liz eats two meals a day – brunch around 11am and dinner
    at 7pm. The order matters too: clear your plate of chicken before rice, because eating protein before carbs keeps blood sugar levels
    stable.

    In recent years she has increased her coffee intake (before
    2pm) because studies show four to five cups is ‘strongly associated with living longer’ thanks to
    the bioactives in coffee beans such as chlorogenic acid.

    She eats wheatgerm, soya beans and nuts to up her intake of spermidine
    – a dietary molecule that interacts with our DNA and
    mimics an anti-ageing process called autophagy, which de-ages us at a cellular
    level.

    Alcohol is basically a no-no. Liz has the ‘occasional glass’ of wine
    or tequila, but never more than two and never alone.

    I chuck out the ready meals and plonk, roll up
    my sleeves and start cooking from scratch. I grill venison, roast a chicken and make soups with the
    leftovers.

    Eating at specific times works for me – I’m never very hungry first thing – and enjoying
    the protein part of each meal first means I’m fuller and
    find it easy to cut back on my carb portions.

    Gut health is a big focus, which means more fermented foods.
    Much to my surprise, I love the kombucha and soon start to brew my own using Liz’s
    Scoby. But homemade kimchi – fermented veg – is a harder sell.
    When a lunch guest asks me why I’m forcing myself to eat something I dislike so much,
    I reply solemnly: ‘Liz told me to.’

    Week two: I discover I can do only 3 press-ups
    I really need help with exercise because sciatica means my normal
    routine has gone to pot.

    Thankfully, Liz reckons just ten minutes a day of exercises such
    as squats, lunges and press-ups is more valuable in the long term
    than a high-intensity gym session once a week or a long park run.

    She introduces me to her personal trainer, Michael Garry,
    who delivers the (bombshell, but welcome) news that running any distance over 5k
    can ‘start to have negative effects’ on our immune system
    and bone strength. If you’re a runner, make it harder by speeding up your time, not increasing
    your distance.

    At Michael’s insistence, I consult a physio about my sciatica, and then he devises
    a daily regime for me. I try press-ups and make it to
    three. Mortifying. Perseverance is clearly key. As are weights,
    especially in your 50s. ‘The more muscle you have, the more your bones are protected from
    osteoporosis, especially during midlife,’ says Michael.

    For cardio, says Beatrice, I keep swimming twice a week.
    But instead of plodding up and down the pool, I start to
    compete with myself, speeding up the laps

    For my slack and flabby upper arms, he advises shoulder presses and hammer
    curls, with 3kg weights in both hands. I try tricep dips off
    a chair, and quickly find I can increase my reps – until by
    week four I’m doing two sets of 15.

    I work out three times a week at home. At first the routine takes 40 minutes but the more I do, the
    faster I do it, until the whole thing – stretching, press-ups, weights – takes just 20 minutes.

    For cardio, I keep swimming twice a week. But instead of plodding up and down the pool, I start to compete with myself, speeding up the laps.

    Week three: I slow the hormonal roller coaster
    I’m menopausal and already on HRT, but I know I could improve how I
    feel, which is sluggish and foggy.

    Liz introduces me to something called the ‘estrobolome’ – the specific collection of bacteria in the gut that influences how our body uses oestrogen. Put
    simply, some microbes improve the efficiency with which oestrogen reaches tissues around the body, meaning we use our dwindling supplies more effectively.

    The best way to support your estrobolome is by
    eating fibre from veg, seeds and nuts, plus some of the low-sugar fruits such
    as apples, berries and plums. Back to the supermarket I go.

    To boost the happy hormone serotonin, my saintly mentor insists I finish my morning shower with a minimum 60-second blast
    of icy cold water, resulting – she claims – in a ‘post-shock high’ and ‘genuine glow’.

    Hmmm. I find it hard to relinquish the comfort of a hot shower and feel not happy
    but mutinous as I step out of the bathroom shivering.

    Week four: I stand in the flower bed
    Living Like Liz means getting outside first thing in the morning and standing barefoot on the
    grass. ‘Grounding’ apparently enables electrons from the surface of the Earth to transmit deep into
    the body, ‘where they have an anti-inflammatory effect’.

    Liz tells me she does this in the tranquil grounds of her glorious pile in the West Country.
    I do it in a flower bed in my shared patio, still in my
    pyjamas, and feel, well, very self-conscious.
    Later I graduate to the park, and – look away now – tread in dog mess, which does
    not improve my emotional wellbeing.

    She also encourages us to keep a Five Minute Gratitude Journal twice a day.
    ‘Gratitude is… a superpower that improves longevity
    and supports the immune system,’ she says.

    I can’t help but think my better-off mate has rather a lot more to smile about than me but,
    following instructions, I write down three things I am grateful for every morning,
    and every night a short list of ‘good things’ that happened
    that day, plus another (longer) list of ‘things that are concerning me’.

    My scepticism around gratitude slowly lifts as I find it does make
    me realise what’s important and what’s not. It helps me see that things are a lot brighter than I thought.
    Packing in a rush for a weekend away, I can’t find my journal and am surprised by how
    bereft I feel without it.

    Week five: I start to sleep well
    I’m a night owl – I stay up too late watching TV and end up hitting my snooze
    button past 8.30am… and occasionally edging towards 10am.

    Liz reckons anyone can improve their sleep if they follow her routine, which means setting an evening alarm
    for 9pm – to remind yourself to start ‘winding down for bed’.

    Emails, social media and TV are switched off, replaced by a printed book or a podcast.
    She takes 120g of magnesium glycinate in a milky drink half an hour before bed
    (and stops eating two hours before).

    Living Like Liz means getting outside first thing in the morning 

    Liz wears a bamboo fibre nightie or pyjamas
    to keep warm because she sleeps with an open window,
    which she covers with blackout blinds and curtains, and sprinkles her
    pillow with a few drops of neat lavender essential oil.

    I’m an e-book reader, so already failing at this routine. Still, I leave my phone charging in the kitchen and buy a
    regular alarm clock. The lavender oil makes me sneeze, so I spray
    my pillows with C. Atherley Geranium Spray instead. 

    Oh, and I tape my lips up – Liz shows me how when she
    delivers the kombucha. Forcing yourself to breathe through your nose is said to promote
    more restful sleep.

    All of this is time-consuming and takes practise, but I find the ritual soothing.
    Five weeks in, I’m getting to sleep earlier than I
    have for years – at 10.30pm after 20 minutes drop-off time
    -and waking at 7.30am. How virtuous!

    Week six: I crash off the wagon
    I’m doing my best, but then I go for lunch with a friend who chirpily suggests a glass of wine, which turns
    into a bottle. And then a second. Later, with a daytime hangover, I head to M&S and find reduced dauphinoise potatoes, which become dinner. 

    Liz has got me on a blood sugar tracker called Lingo (£289
    for two months – you jab a biosensor the size and shape of a plastic bottle top
    into your upper arm, and then link it to an app on your phone), which shows a massive post-potato spike and then a huge slump, which makes me tired and
    irritable. Who knew that such deliciousness had such a high glycaemic load?

    I call Liz to ‘fess up. ‘I have the odd day when I
    lie in, eat too much cake and drink too much tequila,’
    she says. ‘But that’s fine because you then know what to do to put it right.

    It’s not about being perfect.’ Phew!

    Week seven: I tackle my financial mess
    Re-reading my journal really helps here.
    By documenting what I was so worried about day by day, my perspective
    on it changes.

    Here, in black and white, is a record of how I felt
    at the start of this project and how I’ve evolved.

    I’ve come unstuck – in a good way. I’m not going to pretend it’s
    been easy because change is uncomfortable, but I realise there’s simply nothing to be gained from the worry
    spiral.

    If freelance life is tough, and my income erratic, I’m going to
    do something about it. Buoyed with the confidence that comes with action, I apply for part-time admin jobs.
    As personal trainer Michael observes as we work out on Zoom, I wouldn’t have done this before.
    He’s right. Finally I’ve started to take control.

    Week eight: And the winner is…
    So how have eight weeks of Living Like Liz changed me?

    Physically, I’m in much better shape. I’ve lost 7 lb and taken an extraordinary 5 in off my waist and 11 in off my body as a whole.

    Those three pathetic press-ups have become a whopping 40
    per workout, and the measly 3kg weights are now 6kg, meaning I
    have proper bicep definition. The sleeveless tops will be coming out again this party season.

    Our essential guide to beating back pain: What’s causing your aches

    My skin is clearer, eyes brighter and face more defined because I’ve
    reduced the carb-inducing bloat. I’m sleeping better and feeling infinitely less anxious.

    Most remarkably – and this is really life-changing – my sciatica is almost
    gone and I can come off strong painkillers. I know sciatica can disappear of its own accord, but
    the timing is surely no coincidence. All those exercises have strengthened
    the muscles around my spine and buttocks and I’m convinced it’s done the trick.

    I meet Liz for lunch, nervous about whether
    she’ll see a difference. ‘Oh wow,’ she says, taking
    a good look at her pupil. ‘Those arms! You definitely look younger.’

    We chat for a while and she adds: ‘You also seem more content and optimistic.

    You have an inner glow and a halo of positivity.’

    Well, yes, she would say that, wouldn’t she? (Probably.

    Though Liz is known for her candour, so it’s not a given.) ‘I wasn’t sure you were going
    to prioritise yourself enough and commit,’ she admits ‘You weren’t an easy nut to
    crack so I’m thrilled.’

    I’m delighted with my gold star. And I’m grateful to her, which is one of
    the key lessons I’ve learned. Gratitude makes everything feel better.

    That – along with the kombucha, ice-cold showers (which I have learned to love) and the
    odd tequila – are the habits I’ll hold on to. But not (shudder!)
    the kimchi or flower beds.

    As Liz says, everyone deserves to have a better second half –
    and if I can do it, anyone can.

  24. Celine Dion surprised fans by getting soaked with Gatorade on Sunday.

    The 56-year-old singer — who recently blasted Donald Trump for using her songs at a campaign rally without permission — had the orange
    sports drink poured on her during a surprise Sunday Night Football intro appearance.

    She referenced her song It’s All Coming Back to Me Now while discussing
    her ‘passion’ for the Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers rivalry while rocking a
    Super Bowl XXX sweater.

    ‘I think my favorite thing about this game is its power to
    connect who we are to who we were, to prove our most
    powerful memories, our most enduring loves can stay with us forever.
    You know what I’m talking about, right?’ she said as her 1996
    hit played.

    ‘Sometimes, some nights, it all just comes back,’ she added.
    ‘The love affair. Well, maybe not “love” the way I usually sing about it.
    But still… work with me here.’

    Comparing the song to her emotional ties to the sport she said: ‘I mean, “When you touch me like this, when you hold me like that.” It kinda fits, no?’

    ‘But really, what beautiful passion it produced, what painful
    heartbreak it revealed, so, so long ago. Like so many old flames, it always feels right when they’re
    back together. Don’t you think?’

    The Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers rivalry has been alive since 1976 when the Steelers beat the Cowboys (21-17) during Super
    Bowl X and Super Bowl XIII (35-31) in 1979. 

    But in 1996, the Cowboys reigned supreme in Super Bowl XXX,
    beating the Steelers 27-17. 

    ‘Like tonight, evoking the kind of magic they once produced.
    The Cowboys and the Steelers, a timeless classic on Sunday Night,’ the My Heart Will Go On singer said.

    Later in the video fans get a glimpse of Dion appearing
    surprised as she got coolers full of Gatorade poured on her.

    She was also shown cheering and reveling in the moment while sporting her soaked
    sweatshirt as liquid dripped off her face.

    Earlier on Sunday, the NBC Sports teased her appearance by sharing a clip of the songstress donning the
    Superbowl sweatshirt on their Tiktok account.

    In 2022, the songstress announced she was diagnosed with a serious the neurological condition,

  25. Jackie O Henderson has left her father Tony red-faced after a shocking
    stunt in which he was tricked into reading about her threesome live on-air.

    The awkward family exchange occurred on Tuesday’s Kyle and Jackie O Show
    when the radio queen and co-host Kyle Sandilands were discussing Jackie’s new
    memoir The Whole Truth.

    Before getting her father on the line, Jackie explained to listeners that she was about to get an unsuspecting Tony
    to read an excerpt that detailed a night of passion with
    then boyfriend ‘Ugly’ Phil O’Neil and a 19-year-old
    stripper.

    ‘So this is going back to my Gold Coast days when I had met Phil who [later became] my
    first husband,’ the 49-year-old explained.

    ‘I had only just met him at this point. I think [we were]
    two months into seeing each other.’

    Jackie then prompted her unprepared father to read the excerpt
    that detailed Phil’s living situation with the stripper
    and another, rather unsavory ‘stoner’ flatmate.  

    ‘He lived in a place in Main Beach that
    felt like a motel with two weird flatmates. One was a stoner guy who would sit there blazed out of his gourd,’ Tony read
    from Jackie’s book.

    Jackie O Henderson has left her father Tony a little red faced
    after making him read about her first threesome live on air

    The book then turned to Jackie’s first ménage à trois.

    ‘Then there was the stripper they lived with [named] Christie,’ Tony read.

    ‘We went out to a nightclub one night and we came home and we were having sex
    and Christie decided she wanted to join us. 

    Before getting her father on the line Jackie explained to listeners that she was about to get Tony to read an excerpt
    that detailed a night of passion with then boyfriend ‘Ugly’ Phil
    O’Neil and a 19-year-old stripper

    ‘We went out to a nightclub one night and we came home and we
    were having sex and Christie decided she wanted to join us,’ Tony awkwardly read

    Jackie ‘O’ Henderson reveals shock career move after opening up about secret
    addiction battle

    ‘The idea of a threesome had obviously never occurred to me before
    I had never even considered it because it didn’t sound like me.’

    Tony soldiered on with the revealing passage which revealed that
    Jackie and Phil’s third was only interested in one half of the equation. 

    ‘I had no idea what to do – she was this cute 19-year-old with a dark bob and an amazing body but she was only into women,’ Tony continued. 

    ‘Phil was really excited but Christie kept slapping him away.

    She did her thing and then left.’

    When Kyle asked Jackie to clarify what she meant by ‘did her
    thing’, a sheepish Jackie replied: ‘Let’s not talk about this in front of my dad,
    shall we.’

    ‘I had no idea what to do she was this cute 19 year old with a
    dark bob and an amazing body but she was only
    into women,’ Tony continued. ‘Phil was really excited but Christie kept slapping him away .

    She did her thing and then left.’ Jackie id pictured with
    Phil (r) and Michael Jackson tribute act Jason Jackson

    Despite the raciness of the content he had just read from his daughter’s book, Tony admitted he was not shocked by the revelations.

    ‘Am I amazed? Probably not,’ he said.

    ‘I’m sort of trying to take all of this in. After all, its my daughter
    we’re talking about. If it was somebody else, it would be a different story altogether.
    I’d be so excited.

    ‘I’ve been round the block a few times. I understand how these
    things happen.’

    Another passage in the book revealed a very awkward encounter between Phil’s male flatmate and Jackie’s mother Julie. 

    ‘My mum came over once and when no one answered the door, she put her face to the screen to see inside and that flatmate was right there in the living room, pants down, w***ing,’ a shocked Tony
    read.

    The revelations come after Jackie spoke for the first time about her years-long battle with drugs which saw
    her secretly go to rehab at The Betty Ford Clinic in November in 2022.

    During a tearful on-air admission, Jackie said at the height of her addiction,
    she took around 10-12 Stilnox/Ambien sleeping pills and 24 Panadeine Forte painkillers a day.

    only one week and replaced by a spooky new champ.

    With Halloween quickly approaching, Terrifier 3 slashed its way to the top of
    the box office over the weekend. The plot about a deadly
    clown named Art, determined to literally kill the Christmas holiday spirit in a small
    town, earned $18.3 million at the box office according to The Numbers.

    The low-budget thriller, made for about $2 million and written and directed by Damien Leone, is an un-rated blood fest, which has received a 78-percent rating
    from the critics on Rotten Tomatoes.  Audiences have ‘certified’
    it ‘hot’ and given it a healthy 90-percent on the popcornmeter.

    Holding on to second place was The Wild Robot, an animated adventure about
    a robot named Roz who is stranded on a small island after being shipwrecked.
    There, she bonds with the animals, who are her new neighbors,
    and begins taking care of an orphaned goose. 

    Lupita Nyong’o voices Roz, while Pedro Pascal, Mark Hamill, Catherine O’Hara and Ving Rhames offer their voices to other

  37. Joaquin Phoenix’s wife Rooney Mara blushed as he fixed her dress on the red carpet at Academy
    Museum Gala in LA on Saturday.

    For the star-studded affair located at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures, Rooney, 39,
    joined her dashing husband Joaquin, 49.

    The couple – who ‘secretly wed’ recently – looked happier than ever as they posed for sweet snaps on the carpet.

    Rooney looked out of this world as she slipped into a floral sheer
    dress and flashed her underwear underneath.

    The glitzy gala had no shortage of A-list star power as they were also joined by the likes of
    supermodel Kendall Jenner as well as fan-favorite actress and newly
    minted billionaire Selena Gomez.

    Joaquin Phoenix’s, 49, wife Rooney Mara, 39, blushed as he fixed her dress on the red carpet at Academy Museum Gala in LA on Saturday

    Rooney and Joaquin shared a sweet red carpet moment

    Joaquin just confirmed Rooney (born Patricia) was his
    ‘wife’ during an episode of Sam Fragaso’s podcast
    Talk Easy, last month.

    Mara welcomed their second child in June, and she dressed
    her post-baby body gorgeous sheer gown.

    Phoenix (born Bottom) and the two-time Oscar nominee are also parents
    of four-year-old son River Mara Phoenix named after Joaquin’s big brother who died, age 23, from an overdose of morphine and cocaine on Halloween 1993.

    ‘I love it. I love it so much. I think it’s the best
    thing in the world,’ Rooney gushed of motherhood on the LaunchLeft Podcast last year.

    ‘It doesn’t feel like a two-actor house because I didn’t work for the first three and a half years

    The Phoenixes originally met in 2012 playing lovers
    Theodore Twombly and Catherine Klausen on the LA set of Spike Jonze’s AI rom-com Her, but they didn’t start

    The acting couple went on to co-star in Garth Davis’ 2018 Biblical drama Mary Magdalene and Gus Van Sant’s 2018 comedy
    Don’t Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot.

    Rooney and Joaquin also co-narrated Chris Delforce’s 2018 vegan documentary Dominion as well as co-producing Alex Lockwood’s 2022 pandemic documentary The End of Medicine and Jonah Hill’s
    2022 therapy documentary Stutz.

    Mara told Deadline in February that she and Phoenix (born Bottom) are still ‘all committed to’ co-starring
    in Pawel Pawlikowski’s upcoming film The Island but ‘it doesn’t look like that will happen this year.’

    Meanwhile, the Grammy winner scored a $20M
    paycheck to reprise his Oscar-winning role as psychopathic comedian Arthur Fleck/Joker in Todd Phillips’ $190M-budget sequel Joker:
    Folie à Deux, which hits US/UK theaters this Friday.

    Deadline projected the 138-minute demented jukebox musical
    to earn $140M worldwide opening weekend including $55M-$60M
    at 4K US theaters.

    It also features Lady Gaga, Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson,
    Catherine Keener, Jacob Lofland, and Harry Lawtey.

    Thus far, Joker: Folie à Deux has a 60% critic approval rating (out of 58 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.

    The 1981-set first film Joker made history in 2019 as the highest-grossing R-rated
    film of all time, amassing $1.079B at the global box office
    despite mixed reviews.

    Asked by Wiki User

  40. Anyone who knows me has invariably been subject to a spiel about how much I love
    Claudia Winkleman. In part, it’s because she’s so silly, and in part, it’s because I’m a huge fan of everything she presents, from Strictly to The Traitors. 

    But even more than any of that, it’s because I’m obsessed with everything she wears.

    I’ve spent a fortune copying her exact outfits, from her Sister Jane heart cutout dress to a bedazzled Nadine Merabi blazer that I definitely don’t go anywhere fancy enough to wear.

    Since 2005, Claudia has worked with stylist Sinead McKeefry to perfect her signature style.
    I’d describe it as soft goth: lots of black, velvet and chunky
    knits, with a fair few sequins and prints (particularly tartan) thrown in. I’m not alone in my reverence: there are entire Instagram accounts dedicated to tracking down the
    presenter’s outfits. But while they offer incredibly useful
    style inspo, two issues arise repeatedly: Claudia’s clothes are usually hugely expensive or sold out (or both).

    So when the Strictly host stepped out in a typically preppy black velvet mini dress on Sunday, you’d
    be forgiven for assuming it was by some top-end designer.
    Well, you’d be wrong. The mini dress actually came
    courtesy of one of our favourite high street brands, Albaray – and you can pick it up for less than £100.

    The dress is made from plush fabric with contrast
    satin detailing. The velvet makes it a little festive, perfect for celebratory
    bashes over the next few months, particularly
    when paired with white stilettos à la Claud.
    But it could be just as easily dressed down with white trainers or ballet flats and a trench for a chic office outfit, so you’ll
    certainly get your wear out of it.  

    Like all of Albaray’s products, it’s ethically made using responsible fabric and sent via a carbon-neutral shipping
    method, so you can feel good about the dress’s eco-credentials as well as how it looks.

    It’s currently in stock in a few sizes online (and in certain John Lewis concessions) but like
    most things Claudia wears, it won’t stick around long. Now excuse me while I go and
    add to cart.

    Collar and Cuff Velvet Dress, £99, Albaray

  41. Joker: Folie À Deux director Todd Phillips ‘wanted nothing to do with
    DC’ during making of the $200million flop film, a new report has claimed.

    The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film – stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga and
    was considered a surefire hit for Warner Bros Pictures – but was slammed by critics and failed to ignite at the box office.

    The sequel has been roundly criticized for being a musical and ‘ignoring’ the DC fanbase
    – with an agent familiar with Phillips’ process telling Variety he ‘wanted nothing to do with DC’
    during the making of the film, with DC bosses James
    Gunn and Peter Safran notably absent from the film’s
    LA premiere afterparty last month.

    A source said: ‘If the first movie was about some down-on-his-luck, mentally ill guy in a downtrodden city, it
    makes maybe $150 [million] worldwide. Not a billion. People showed up
    because that guy was Joker.’

    In an apparent snub by Phillips, the opening sequence of the film does not include a DC Studios logo.

    On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of 31% and a critic score of 32%

    The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film – stars Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga – seen with Phillips last month – and was considered
    a surefire hit for Warners Bros Pictures – but was slammed by critics and failed to ignite at
    the box office 

    A DC spokesman said Gunn was directing the Max series Peacemaker in Atlanta,
    which had lost a day of production due to Hurricane Helene, while Safran was sick.

    Joker: Folie À Deux is branded ‘bleak’ and the ‘most disappointing follow-up’ by critics

    A Warner spokesman added that a DC logo appears at the end of the Joker sequel.
    while Phillips declined to comment to the publication. 

    Several frictions are said to have developed between Phillips, DC
    and Warner- with claims that Michael DeLuca, Chairperson of Warner Bros.

    Entertainment, and CEO Pamela Abdy seemed ‘unwilling’ to say no
    to Phillips due to his huge past successes.

    It is claimed Phillips would ‘only’ speak with DeLuca and
    Abdy rather than Gunn and Safran – who took control of DC two months before
    production began on Joker 2 in December 2022.

    Gunn and Safran did attend the first director’s cut screening for
    the studio but Phillips fueled rift speculation when he told a
    reporter: ‘With all due respect to them, this is kind of a Warner Bros.
    movie.’

    Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav also met with Phillips  shortly after WarnerMedia and Discovery merged in April 2022 and was ‘open to filming in Los Angeles
    if the director would make the sequel at a lower price point.’

    The studio wanted to film in London which would have cost around 20
    per cent less.

    However, Phillips insisted on filming in LA with the budget remaining static. 

    The sequel has been roundly criticized for
    being a musical and ‘ignoring’ the DC fanbase – with an agent familiar with Phillips’
    process telling Variety he ‘wanted nothing to do with DC’ during the making
    of the film, with DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran notably absent from the film’s LA premiere
    afterparty last month

     A Warner spokesman told the publication the studio ‘supported the decision to film in Los Angeles’.

    A source directly involved with the film said: ‘No one could get
    through to Todd. And the one thing about genre stuff: If you don’t listen and pay attention to what
    the fan expectations are, you’re going to fail.

    Insiders also claim studio bosses did not want
    to premiere the film at the Venice Film Festival, but Phillips pushed back – with a Warner spokesman saying the studio ‘fully supported
    the decision to bring the film to Venice.

    Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic book movie history as the film bombed at the box
    office on opening night. 

    It has only made $114million worldwide against
    its $200million budget. 

    The psychological musical thriller — which has been criticized as ‘bleak’ and ‘disappointing’ — officially released in theaters on Friday, October 4, but it
    only raked in $20 million at the domestic box office, per The Hollywood
    Reporter. 

    Phoenix reprised his role as the Joker in the sequel,
    which had earned him an Oscar for his portrayal in the 2019 film, while Gaga took on the role of Harleen Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn). 

    However, Joker: Folie À Deux has been given a D
    rating on CinemaScore — the lowest score for
    a comic book movie. 

    Madame Web — which notably also flopped in theaters earlier this year and also received terrible
    reviews — holds a higher score with a C+.

    On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie currently holds an audience score of 31% and
    a critic score of 32%. 

    The sequel is projected to rake in less that $50 million at
    the domestic box office during the entirety of opening weekend, per The Hollywood Reporter. 

    Weeks ago, the movie had been projected to bring in around $70 million – but the number has since drastically
    dropped. 

    Joker (2019) notably opened with $96.2 million when the film first released in theaters – and eventually landed a little
    over $1 billion in the global box office. 

    The first movie – which was also directed by Todd Phillips – had a budget of between $55 and $70 million. However,
    the budget increased for Folie À Deux to around $200 million. 

    The 2019 movie garnered praise and positive reviews from both critics and audiences – and won the Golden Lion during the 76th Venice International Film
    Festival. 

    Joaquin received an Oscar for Best Actor for his portrayal of the Joker (Arthur Fleck) – and
    the film garnered an additional Academy Award for
    Best Original Score. 

    The sequel also screened during the Venice International Film
    Festival last month in September, where it earned a 12-minute standing ovation, per Deadline.   

    A source directly involved with the film said: ‘No one could get through to Todd.
    And the one thing about genre stuff: If you don’t listen and pay attention to what
    the fan expectations are, you’re going to fail.

    However, audiences have since taken to X after the movie released in theaters on Friday –
    and shared their opinions on the sequel, which features musical sequences. 

    One fan penned, ‘Joaquin Phoenix don’t deserve this.
    what happened to the script?’ while another added, ‘is it that bad,’ followed
    by a crying face emoji. 

    ‘Ironically I feel that a musical, if done well,
    could have been a good choice. It’d show how much of an unreliable narrator Fleck is,’
    one typed. 

    ‘But with some original songs, that keep everything vague,
    not just covers. Also when I heard of the ending I snorted fr.’ 

    A social media user wrote, ‘Stop making sequels as musicals if
    the original wasn’t a musical.’ 

    ‘Maybe he [Phillips] only had an hour long movie, and decided to randomly add musical
    scenes to fill the runtime,’ one penned. 

    ‘Joker downfall really needs to be studied,’
    another shared, along with a monkey staring out a window. 

    One fan said, ‘the movie sucks. i had to walk out of the cinema,’ while another penned, ‘After years of disagreement….*Joker 2
    releases* Critics [shaking hands] Audience.’ 

    However, audiences have since taken to X after the movie released in theaters
    on Friday – and shared their opinions over the sequel,
    which was also a musical

    ‘Ironically I feel that a musical, if done well,
    could have been a good choice. It’d show how much of an unreliable narrator Fleck is,’ one typed

    ‘Joker downfall really needs to be studied,’ another shared, along with a monkey
    staring out a window

    ‘That’s way below what we expected,’ one wrote in regards to the current
    Rotten Tomatoes scores. ‘People are saying this is the worst sequel ever.’ 

    A fan explained, ‘yea this film was bad. it was pretentious and dull.
    has the aesthetic of an arthouse film without the substance.’ 

    ‘It also insults the audience’s intelligence. the songs were also underwhelming too.
    they shouldn’t have let this escape to theaters.’ 

    One shared, ‘The audience that loved the first movie is
    not the same audience running to see musicals.
    This was a gigantic mistake from step 1.’ 

    During an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Phillips discussed whether he
    would be interested in making a third Joker film or a movie centered around Gaga’s character. 

    ‘It’s not really where this movie is headed for me.

    I feel like my time in the DC Universe was these two films.’ 

    Ahead of the movie’s release, Lady Gaga also dropped an accompanying album titled Harlequin on September 27. 

    Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the ‘most
    disappointing follow-up to the Oscar-winning movie’ by
    critics, as they cast doubt on Lady Gaga’s ‘thin’ role in the film following its release on Friday. 

    ‘That’s way below what we expected,’ one wrote in regards to the current Rotten Tomatoes scores.
    ‘People are saying this is the worst sequel ever’

    A fan explained, ‘yea this film was bad. it was pretentious and
    dull. has the aesthetic of an arthouse film without the substance’

    The ‘bleak’ sequel, has also received a tepid reception from fans, with some claiming
    Lady Gaga’s career could be at risk.

    While the same director Todd Phillips was back in the hot seat,
    critics have said the sequel is just a ‘repeat’ of the first hit but
    with an added musical twist.

    Most critics have said Todd failed to use Gaga correctly in the movie and claimed she was only bought
    in for the musical aspect of it.

    While the majority of critics say Joker: Folie À
    Deux didn’t live up to expectations, others have dubbed the movie ‘bold’ and ‘brilliant.’ 

    Daily Mail’s Brian Viner commended the move as ‘bold’ and ‘brilliant’ but said it lacked any thrill. 

    The Independent’s Geoffrey Macnab said: ‘Today Joker is best remembered as one of the most
    subversive and original films of the last decade, while its hugely anticipated sequel
    is just as bleak and formally daring as its predecessor’.

    Meanwhile, the Irish Times’ Donald Clarke gave the movie just two stars but credited Phillips’ work for making a sequel following the first movie’s $1billion success.

    Financial Times critic Danny Leigh said although Gaga worked hard to bump the ratings up in the
    sequel, Phillips appeared to have no idea what to do with her. 

    Giving a three star rating, The Guardian’s Peter Bradshaw claimed the movie proves ‘claustrophobic’ and ‘repetitive.’

    Joker: Folie À Deux has been branded the ‘most disappointing follow-up
    to the Oscar-winning movie’ by critics, as they
    cast doubt on Lady Gaga’s ‘thin’ role in the film following its release
    on Friday; seen in September in London 

    The Times’ Kevin Maher wrote: ‘The director Todd Phillips said there would be no
    follow-up to the original, but he changed his mind and
    the result is a derivative musical’

    ‘This might be the most disappointing follow-up to an Oscar-winning performance
    since Anthony Hopkins reworked his silky and terrifying Dr Lecter from for the campy, kitschy.’ 

    Along with Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix, other stars that had appeared
    in the sequel include Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener, Zazie Beatz and Steve
    Coogan. 

    Joker: Folie à Deux has faced additional backlash from fans as
    they have claimed that Gaga is running the risk of losing her acting career.

  43. Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are asking voter to choose
    between an immigration crackdown and reproductive rights

    As their race for the US presidency comes down to the wire, each major candidate
    has leaned heavily on a favorite theme — abortion rights for
    Democrat Kamala Harris and border security for Republican Donald Trump.

    In Arizona, their ideological duel has reached a white-hot peak,
    with both topics the subject of fiercely debated ballot
    referendums.

    And in this key southwestern state — where
    the billionaire Trump lost to President Joe Biden in 2020 by a tiny margin of about 10,
    500 votes — every ballot truly will count.

    In the mid-sized city of Tucson, hundreds of volunteers in orange T-shirts were going
    door-to-door to try to persuade voters to back a ballot
    measure to inscribe abortion rights in the state constitution — and, while they’re at it, to vote for Vice President Harris.

    To Grace Ireland, a 26-year-old activist, the abortion restrictions imposed
    by several Republican-controlled states amount to “a public health crisis that Donald Trump and the Republicans have created.”

    She added, “Democrats and Kamala Harris are trying to push us forward and protect women’s health care and protect our democracy and protect all people.”

    Une pancarte barrée du slogan “L’indifférence aux élections est dangereuse”, à Tucson, en Arizona, le 16
    octobre 2024

    Since 2022, when the US Supreme Court ended the constitutional protection of federal abortion rights, Ireland, a registered nurse, has worked in several states
    where abortion is banned or severely limited.

    Those restrictions have had sometimes disastrous consequences for women having problem pregnancies or carrying nonviable fetuses when doctors refuse to
    treat them.

    “Women are going septic and dying because they cannot receive the care that they need,” she told AFP.

    – ‘Abortion is murder’ –

    As Ireland carries her message to potential voters, she noted,
    particularly to young people who may be less likely to vote, that it was Donald Trump who appointed the three justices who tipped the Supreme Court against
    abortion rights.

    Donald Trump lors d’un meeting à Tempe, en Arizona, le
    24 octobre 2024

    “It’s important to reiterate that Donald Trump and these abortion bans are one and the same,” Ireland said.

    But in Tucson there is little unanimity among young voters.

    “I do think that abortion is murder,” said Pedro Lopez, a 20-year-old college student.

    “There are cases of incest or rape” that merit exceptions,
    he conceded, “but that’s very small.”

    He also worries about the flow of undocumented
    migrants that have entered the country from Mexico during the Biden-Harris administration.

    “People that are entering the United States illegally… should be sent back to where they came from,” he said.

    “My grandparents migrated from Mexico to the United States, and they did it the right way.”

    So he plans not only to vote for Trump, but to back the proposal to let local law
    enforcement detain, arrest and prosecute anyone suspected of having entered the country illegally — powers normally reserved to the border police who work for the federal government.

    “I know people that work for the Border Patrol, and they’re really upset because this current administration has really tied their hands up. They’re not really able to do anything,” Lopez said.

    – Mixed impact –

    The major political parties see the competing referendums
    as offering an opportunity to mobilize more people to vote — on ballot questions at the very heart
    of the two presidential campaigns.

    Anti-abortion activists demonstrate outside a clinic in Phoenix, Arizona on April
    18, 2024

    But the referendums may not have the clear impact on the race for the White House
    that activists hope.

    Polls show Trump and Harris running neck-and-neck in Arizona,
    with the Republican holding a very narrow lead.

    Both ballot questions, meantime, have drawn strong support and both appear likely to pass.

    So the abortion issue may not be “helping Democrats in the way that they would hope,” said Jenny Brian, a professor of bioethics
    at Arizona State University.

    Many Republican women will vote both to protect abortion rights and to bring Trump back to the White House,
    Brian said.

    Though abortion is sometimes framed as a Democrat vs.

    Republican issue, the Republican Party includes “a broad spectrum of views on the topic,” an issue that also raises conservatives’ concerns about “government interference,” she
    added.

    The same dynamic applies to immigration, with the tougher language on the
    Arizona ballot question finding support not just among Trump Republicans but also “moderates and even many Democrats,” said
    John Kavanagh, a Republican and an Arizona state senator.

    The 74-year-old Kavanagh is unimpressed by Harris’s recent toughening on migration, specifically her promise to maintain the partial closing of the border Biden ordered
    in recent months.

    The vice president, Kavanagh said, is “running away faster from her open-border policy than an illegal immigrant that runs away from the Border Patrol.”

  49. >Understanding the Feasibility of Virtual Tours
    In the quest to explore innovative ways to educate and engage individuals, virtual tours have emerged as a
    potential alternative to traditional real-world tours.
    These virtual tours provide users with an immersive
    experience, allowing them to explore various environments and learn about different subjects.
    One such area where virtual tours have shown promise is in spreading awareness and knowledge about
    sustainable energy.

    A pilot study was conducted to assess the feasibility
    and effectiveness of virtual tours in the context of
    sustainable energy. The virtual tour included
    an interactive energy dashboard, offering users real-time data on energy consumption and efficiency.
    Additionally, participants had the opportunity to witness demonstrations of energy initiatives and
    access comprehensive information about renewable energy sources.

    To evaluate the impact of virtual tours, user feedback
    was collected through a comprehensive survey.
    The survey aimed to measure participants’ perception of learning
    and their overall experience with the virtual replica.
    Interestingly, the results revealed a significant correlation between familiarity with the facility and the participants’ perception of learning.
    Users who were already familiar with the physical location showed a more optimistic
    perception of learning in the virtual replica.

    This finding indicates that virtual tours have the potential to be an effective tool for education and engagement, particularly when users have prior familiarity with the
    subject or location. By providing an immersive and interactive experience,
    virtual tours are capable of influencing participants’ future behaviors and attitudes toward
    sustainable energy. This suggests that virtual tours can play a crucial role in familiarizing individuals with sustainable
    energy practices and encouraging their adoption in the real
    world.

    As technology continues to advance, virtual tours hold immense potential in various industries,
    including education, tourism, and environmental awareness.
    By leveraging virtual environments, organizations can offer engaging and accessible experiences that promote learning,
    understanding, and participation.

    “Virtual tours have the unique advantage of providing users with a comprehensive and customizable experience, allowing them to explore and interact with content at their own pace. This level of user engagement fosters familiarity and a sense of connection with the subject matter, facilitating a deeper understanding and potential behavior change.”

    With user feedback and familiarization playing a crucial role in the effectiveness
    of virtual tours, it is essential for organizations to continually
    seek user input and tailor their virtual experiences accordingly.

    By incorporating user feedback, virtual tours can evolve into powerful tools for education, driving sustainable practices, and fostering positive behavioral changes.

    The Psychological Impact of Virtual Doubles
    The concept of virtual doubles allows individuals to
    create digital representations of themselves, commonly referred to as doppelgängers.
    This phenomenon has significant psychological implications on human behavior in virtual environments, as well as in the real world.

    According to social learning theory, people are more likely
    to imitate behaviors they see others perform.
    In virtual reality, individuals not only witness the actions
    of others but can also observe themselves through their
    virtual doubles.

    Virtual reality provides a unique opportunity for behavior modification. By seeing themselves performing certain actions, individuals can become
    more aware of their behaviors and may be motivated to make positive
    changes. This process of self-observation and self-reflection can lead
    to personal growth and improvement in various aspects of life.

    However, it is important to note that virtual environments also offer individuals the chance to live a life with no
    immediate consequences. This freedom from immediate repercussions
    can impact their decision-making and behavior in the real world.
    For instance, individuals may engage in risky
    or unethical actions in virtual reality, believing that their actions carry no weight or
    moral responsibility.

    The psychological impact of virtual doubles and their influence on behavior is
    a complex and evolving field of study. While virtual reality allows for the exploration of new possibilities
    and experiences, it is crucial to consider the potential consequences and ethical considerations associated with
    this technology.

    Quoting Social Learning Theory:

    “People learn through observing others’ behaviors, attitudes, and outcomes of those behaviors. Most human behavior is learned observationally through modeling: from observing others, one forms an idea of how new behaviors are performed, and on later occasions, this coded information serves as a guide for action.”

    Albert Bandura

    Virtual doubles have the potential to shape human behavior both in virtual environments and
    the real world. Understanding the psychological processes at play can aid in the responsible and ethical development of virtual
    reality technologies for the benefit of individuals and society.

    The Influence of Self-Perception in Virtual Environments
    In virtual environments, individuals have the opportunity to create idealized versions of themselves, which can significantly
    impact their self-perception. Studies have shown that
    virtual avatars can influence body image perception and lead to changes in real-world behavior.
    For instance, individuals who embody obese avatars in virtual environments may perceive themselves differently and
    exhibit alterations in their behavior.

    Furthermore, virtual race can also play a role in self-perception. Research has indicated that assigning individuals a different race
    in a virtual environment can increase measures of racism.

    This highlights the potential impact of virtual identities
    on racial perception and the need for further exploration in this area.

    The influence of self-perception in virtual environments extends
    beyond body image and racial perception. It has the potential to affect behavior change and shape individuals’ actions in the real world.
    Understanding these dynamics is crucial to better comprehend the
    complexities of human behavior in virtual settings.

    “Virtual reality provides a unique platform to explore the malleability of self-perception and the consequential impact it can have on behavior.”

    In order to illustrate the influence of self-perception in virtual environments, let us take a closer look at a study
    that examined the relationship between virtual avatars and body image
    perception:

    Study Participants Methodology Findings

    Smith et al. (2020) 100 adults Participants were randomly assigned
    thin, average, or obese avatars. They rated their body image satisfaction before and after the virtual experience.

    Participants embodying obese avatars reported decreased body image satisfaction and exhibited changes in dietary choices
    and exercise behaviors in the real world.
    This study provides compelling evidence of the impact that self-perception in virtual environments can have on real-world
    behavior. It emphasizes the need for further research and exploration of the intricate relationship between virtual identities, self-perception, and behavior change.

    The Impact on Private Experiences
    Virtual reality provides a unique opportunity for individuals to engage
    in private experiences that offer instant gratification without immediate
    consequences. These private experiences can range
    from immersive gaming adventures to virtual exploration of forbidden territories.

    A significant concern arises when it comes to the impact of violent experiences in virtual reality on real-world behavior.
    Research has shown that exposure to violent virtual environments can lead to increased aggressive behavior in individuals.
    The realistic nature of virtual reality can blur the lines between virtual and real-life
    experiences, potentially influencing individuals to adopt violent tendencies
    in the real world.

    Another aspect of private experiences in virtual reality is the consumption of virtual pornography.
    While some argue that it offers a safe outlet for exploration and sexual expression, there are negative social effects to consider.

    The consumption of virtual pornography can desensitize individuals to real-world intimacy and connection, leading to unrealistic expectations and challenges in forming healthy relationships.

    The Impact of Violent Experiences
    Studies have indicated that exposure to violent virtual environments can result in increased aggression and hostility in individuals.
    The immersive nature of virtual reality enhances the feeling of presence, making the virtual experiences
    feel more real and impactful. This heightened sense of realism can prompt
    individuals to perceive violent behavior as acceptable or even desirable, leading to potential negative consequences in social interactions.

    “Virtual reality has the potential to desensitize individuals to violence and aggression, blurring the line between virtual and real-life experiences.”

    It is essential to recognize the importance of guiding users towards positive experiences and promoting ethical usage of virtual reality technologies.

    Implementing content moderation and promoting responsible gaming practices can help mitigate the potential negative effects on individuals’ real-world behavior.

    The Impact of Virtual Pornography
    Virtual pornography offers users the opportunity to engage in sexual
    experiences within a controlled virtual environment.

    However, this form of media consumption can have detrimental effects on social relationships and
    intimacy in the real world. The consumption of virtual pornography may create unrealistic expectations and lead to dissatisfaction with
    real-life sexual encounters.

    Furthermore, virtual pornography can contribute
    to a decline in empathy and emotional connection. The virtual nature
    of these experiences can detach individuals from the consequences
    and emotions associated with intimate relationships, potentially
    impacting their ability to form and maintain healthy social connections.

    “Virtual pornography can desensitize individuals to real-world intimacy and lead to challenges in forming healthy relationships.”

    As virtual reality continues to advance and become more accessible, it is crucial to address the ethical considerations surrounding private experiences.
    Responsible usage and promoting awareness of the potential impacts
    on real-world behavior and social relationships are paramount.

    Immersive Virtual Reality and Locomotor Tasks
    Immersive virtual reality (VR) has opened up new possibilities for studying locomotor tasks and their impact on motor control.

    One commonly used locomotor task for assessing mobility and functional performance
    is the Timed Up and Go (TUG) test.

    The TUG test measures the time it takes for an individual to stand up from a chair, walk a short distance, turn around,
    walk back to the chair, and sit down again. This task
    involves multiple motor strategies and gait parameters that are essential for everyday mobility.

    Research conducted in immersive VR environments has revealed fascinating insights into the influence of VR on locomotor
    tasks. Studies have shown that gait parameters,
    such as step length, cadence, and even balance, can be altered in virtual reality compared
    to real-world conditions. These changes in motor control suggest that the technological
    characteristics of immersive VR can impact the motor strategies employed by individuals during locomotion tasks.

    Virtual reality simulations allow researchers to manipulate various environmental factors,
    such as terrain, visual cues, and auditory feedback, to investigate their effects on motor control.
    For example, virtual environments can simulate challenging walking surfaces, such as walking on slippery or
    uneven ground, to assess an individual’s adaptability and balance control.

    Moreover, immersive VR provides a safe and controlled environment for individuals to practice and
    develop motor skills. This is particularly beneficial for patients undergoing rehabilitation or athletes looking to enhance their performance.

    Understanding the impact of immersive VR on locomotor tasks can lead to advancements in motor
    rehabilitation, sports performance training, and the development of accessible and inclusive environments for individuals with mobility impairments.

    Gait Parameters Real World Virtual Reality

    Step Length 5.6 ft 4.9 ft

    Cadence 90 steps/min 95 steps/min

    Balance Stable Slightly Unstable
    The table showcases a comparison of gait parameters between real-world conditions and immersive VR.
    It is evident that virtual reality can lead to alterations in motor
    control and gait parameters.

    Further research in this area is crucial
    to fully understand the potential benefits and limitations of immersive VR in improving
    motor control, mobility, and overall quality of life.

    Benefits and Applications of Virtual Reality in Rehabilitation
    Virtual reality has revolutionized the field of rehabilitation, offering innovative solutions to improve functional capacities and enhance patient outcomes.
    This immersive technology provides a unique and interactive environment that
    promotes motivation, engagement, and sensorimotor integration.

    One of the key advantages of virtual reality rehabilitation is its ability to customize scenarios to target specific cognitive and motor tasks.
    By tailoring virtual reality experiences to individual needs, rehabilitation programs can provide a comprehensive approach that addresses a wide range of functional challenges.

    The immersive nature of virtual reality creates a sense of presence,

  58. Making a wine cellar at your home or at your restaurant is a pretty
    good idea. But how do you do this with a friendly budget?
    Having a large space for the rack is always welcoming
    but what about the small spaces? For building the natural wine storage you need a dark and cool place.
    If you have not you can make an artificial wine storage
    with the expertise of the designers. Placing the wine storage is not the last thing the experts can do, they also make
    the place creative that will be suitable for the particular wine cellars.
    Sure, you can invest an amount of money for making the storage.
    However, the money is depended on the rack size and the design of the racks.
    The skilled designers choose the easiest way to design at your home or
    at any commercial shop.

    wine cellar racks

    You need to follow some basic rules to install the cellar.
    The basic things are point out below.

    1. Location :

    Basement is the ideal place for planning ancient looking wine storage construction. If you have not a basement, choose the
    place which is cold. The cold and lightless place is the perfect one for
    placing the cellar. It is to be noted that, wine needs a particular temperature to get matured.
    Sure, there are many times in the year where the temperature varies.
    To keep continuing its ageing process you need to choose the dark place.
    Avoid the place of too cold and too hot.
    Depending upon the environment, the designers build the cellar.
    But don’t worry; you can install the racks at any place
    of your home if your wine rack has all the functionalities to mature the time at its proper timing.
    But, you need to do a proper maintenance of the wine stock
    up racks.

    2. The ideal temperature:

    The perfect temperatures for the growth of the
    wine are 58 degrees Fahrenheit. Wine can’t stand sunlight, so you need to choose the dim or
    low-level light for the ventilated wine cellar racks .
    The ideal humidity of the storage is 55-75%.

    3. Keep a track of your collection:

    It is best to keep a track of your collections. It’s pretty easy if you take the initiative of
    this. By tracking of your collections, you can identify the
    number of your bottles. So you are able to take
    the decision of building this larger or medium or smaller.

    4. Set this with your furniture:

    If you have not sufficient place for placing the wine storage,
    you can install this with other furniture in your
    home. This can be pretty cheap for you. You can use the drawers,
    table, and kitchen cabinets and so on.

    5. Designing :

    Designing a wine storage is dependent on the location and space of the place.
    You can mention the experts the size of the this, or you can give a layout of the cellar’s designs.
    They will customize the design. You can also visit their
    website for the wonderful wine cellar construction. There you may get
    ample designs of the cellars that will fit in your room’s size and style and also with your budget.

    6. Ceilings and walls:

    For building the cellar and ceilings and walls
    are an important factor. It is ideal to place the moisture resistant drywall.

    7. Doors:

    It is recommended to place door for the cellar that can resist the moisture of the this trendy innovation. You can install a

    looking at you, Selena Gomez), or styled with a little black dress and a pair of killer heels (à la Alexa Chung at the Fashion Awards), tights
    and stockings are a great way to add style – and perhaps an extra layer of
    warmth – to your outfits during the autumn and winter
    months.

    From matte to glossy, opaque to sheer, and black to skin-toned shades, there’s a lot more to consider than just the denier number
    when it comes to picking out a pair of classic tights.
    And then, of course, there is also patterned hosiery (think delicate designs like a back seam, polka dots or
    lace detailing) to elevate your winter style.

    ‘Tis the season of hosiery

    In 2024, tights should no longer be an obligation but
    a fashion choice. Google searches for ‘tights’ are up by 115% since
    the temperatures first dropped, and at high-street favourite M&S
    two pairs are sold every minute. So what styles
    are we buying?

    The top spot is claimed by the retailer’s 60 Denier
    Body Sensor Tights (a handy three-pack that sells for just £8 and is available in a black, navy and brown).
    The 40 Denier Body Sensor Tights (£8 for a three-pack) are second favourite, followed by
    the 30 Denier Body Sensor Tights (£8 for a three-pack).
    The fourth most popular pair is the 60 Denier Magicwear Opaque Tights (£14 for a two-pack),
    and the top five is rounded out by the 100 Denier Magicwear Opaque Tights (£14 for a two-pack).

    These are the number one selling tights at Marks & Spencer

    M&S believes the decision between opaque and sheer tights should be based
    on the formality of our outfit. ‘Opaque black tights will go with
    basically everything. Often said to clash with black; blue or brown hues are also an option.’

    ‘Sheer tights are great for more formal occasions and warmer temperatures,
    as they provide a lighter and more breathable option,’ the
    high street giant added. ‘You can achieve
    that elegant, barely-there look with a little extra coverage.’

    Similarly, intricate patterns, logos and glitter are best suited for evening
    looks, says M&S. ‘For a daytime or office look, stick with polka dots or diamond patterned tights, or if you’re
    looking for some added cosiness, try cable-knit tights for some subtle
    texture.’

  63. Amid tepid returns at the box office for Joker: Folie à Deux, a number of
    fans of the sequel took to social media over the weekend in defense of the sequel to Todd Phillips’ 2019 motion picture.

    The film, which sees Joaquin Phoenix return to the lead role of
    The Joker/Arthur Fleck, debuted to a paltry $40 million at the domestic box office, good
    enough for the weekend’s top spot, but less than projections, and half
    that of its predecessor.

    Amid the early returns, a number of fans took up for the movie and its cinematic
    depth, in breaking away from the cookie cutter nature of sequels to introduce a musical element not present in the first film, with Lady Gaga
    joining the franchise.

    ‘Joker 2 was amazing,’ one user said, adding that it was ‘100% as divisive as people are making it out to
    be. I love that the film didn’t try to be a traditional sequel,
    and fully committed to the storytelling they presented.
    It never deviated to be a film full of Easter eggs
    or any other crowd pleasing aspects.’

    Another user said, ‘I kinda loved Joker 2. I loved how it was structured as a meta-exploration of the first film’s fandom and the musical elements were a lot of fun.’

    Amid tepid returns at the box office for Joker: Folie à Deux,
    a number of fans of the sequel took to social media over the weekend in defense of the

    One user marveled that Joker 2 is ‘getting universal hate
    despite being more interesting and creative than anything marvel has done in years is expected.’

    A user said that ‘Joker 2 is genuinely such a clever movie which carries the character
    study format of the first movie into the second in a way which, surprisingly, will floor you by the end.

    Some users said that the bad word-of-mouth the film
    was suffering from was impacting the opinions of moviegoers.

    ‘The Joker 2 hate is so forced like did we watched the same movie????????’ one user said, while another said the hate for
    the film is ‘so unjustified.’

    One fan predicted that the motion picture with stand
    the test of time with audiences.

    ‘I may be one of ten people who genuinely liked the Joker 2.

    Remember me when society circles back to it in 10 years
    and says its a masterpiece,’ said the user. ‘The world just
    wasn’t ready for it yet.’

    Said one user: ‘I actually thoroughly enjoyed it. If you don’t like musicals
    or ‘art house’ style films you probably won’t like it because it’s not made for you.

    The dynamic between Harley and Joker was brilliant and showcased the ‘obsession’ that is
    key to that duo.’ 

    The movie’s box office collapse was swift and has many in the industry wondering: How did the highly anticipated sequel to an Oscar-winning, billion-dollar film with the same creative team go wrong?
    Just three weeks ago, tracking services pegged the movie for a
    $70 million debut, which would still have been down a fair amount from Joker’s record-breaking
    $96.2 million launch in October 2019. 

    A number of fans took to social media to defend the controversial sequel

    Amid the early returns, a number of fans took up for the movie and its
    cinematic depth, in breaking away from the cookie cutter nature of sequels to introduce a musical element not present in the first film,
    with Lady Gaga joining the franchise 

    Reviews were mixed out of the Venice Film Festival,
    where it premiered in competition like the first movie and even got a 12-minute standing ovation.

    But the homecoming glow was short-lived, and the fragile foundation would crumble in the coming weeks with its Rotten Tomatoes score dropping from 63 percent at Venice to 33 percent by
    its first weekend in theaters. Perhaps even more surprising were the audience reviews: Ticket buyers
    polled on opening night gave the film a deadly D CinemaScore.
    Exit polls from PostTrak weren’t any better. It got a meager half star out of five possible.

    ‘That´s a double whammy that´s very difficult to recover from,’ said Paul Dergarabedian, the
    senior media analyst for Comscore. ‘The biggest issue of all is the reported budget.
    A $40 or $50 million opening for a less expensive movie would be a
    solid debut.’

    Joker: Folie à Deux cost at least twice as much as the first film to produce, though reported
    figures vary at exactly how pricey it was to make. Phillips told Variety that it was less than the reported
    $200 million; Others have it pegged at $190 million. Warner Bros.
    released the film in 4,102 locations in North America.
    About 12.5 percent of its domestic total came from 415 IMAX screens.

    Internationally, it’s earned $81.1 million from 25,788 screens,
    bringing its total global earnings estimate to $121.1 million. In the next two weeks, Joker 2 will also open in Japan and China.

    Second place went to Universal and DreamWorks Animation’s The Wild Robot,
    which added $18.7 million in its second weekend, bringing its domestic total to nearly $64 million. Globally, it’s
    made over $100 million. Warner Bros.’ Beetlejuice Beetlejuice  took third place in weekend five, Paramount’s Transformers One landed in fourth and Universal and Blumhouse’s Speak No Evil
    rounded out the top five.

    The other big new release of the weekend, Lionsgate’s White Bird,
    flopped with just $1.5 million from just over 1,
    000 locations, despite an A+ CinemaScore.

    Overall, the weekend is up from the same frame last year, but Joker’s start is an unwelcome twist for theater owners hoping to narrow the box office deficit.

    The sequel has already been the subject of many think pieces, some who posit that it was deliberately alienating fans of the first movie

    Phillips and star Joaquin Phoenix have said they aspired to make something as ‘audacious’ as
    the first film. The sequel added Lady Gaga into the fold
    , as a Joker superfan, and delved further into the mind of Arthur Fleck, imprisoned at
    Arkham and awaiting trial for the murders he committed in the first.
    It´s also a musical, with elaborately imagined song and dance numbers to old
    standards. Gaga even released a companion album called ”Harlequin,’ alongside the film.

    The sequel has already been the subject of many think pieces, some who posit that it was deliberately alienating fans of the first
    movie. In cruder terms, it´s been called a ‘middle finger.’ But fans often ignore
    the advice of critics, especially when it comes to opening their wallets to see revered comic book characters on the
    big screen.

    ‘They took a swing for the fences,’ Dergarabedian said. ‘But except for a couple of
    outliers, audiences in 2024 seem to want to know what they´re getting
    when they´re going to the theater. They want the tried and true, the familiar.’ 

    Deadline editor Anthony D´Alessandro thinks the problem started with
    the idea to make the Joker sequel a musical.
    ‘No fan of the original movie wanted to see a musical sequel,’ he wrote on Saturday.

    The first film was also divisive and the subject of much discourse,
    then about whether it might send the wrong message to the wrong type of
    person. And yet people still flocked to see what the fuss was about.
    Joker went on to pick up 11 Oscar nominations, including best picture and best
    director, and three wins. It also made over $1 billion and was the highest-grossing R-rated film
    of all time, until this summer when Marvel’s Deadpool & Wolverine took the crown.

    Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S.

    and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore.

  64. Even if you’re not a wine drinker, chances are you’ve heard of organic wine.
    But what is organic wine, and is it the same thing as natural wine?
    Is organic wine healthier to drink than regular wine? And finally, does it taste better than regular wine?

    Is organic wine the same as natural wine?
    While the terms organic wine and natural wine
    are often thrown about in equal measure, they aren’t the same thing.
    In order for a liqueur to qualify as organic, the winemaker must adhere to a stringent set of rules and
    obtain certification as an organic liquor producer after a 3 year evaluation process.
    Once certification has been attained, organic winemakers
    are subjected to an inspection every 12 months to ensure that they are working within the designated ground rules.

    Where organic winemaking is concerned, no synthetic substances are permitted to be implemented in the cultivation of the grapevines or the harvesting of the grapes.

    The use of preservatives during fermentation are limited.
    It is important to note that some naturally grown liquors make use of thinning products that are sourced from animals.
    These thinning products are used to dissolve any excess solid compounds that are present
    in the wines. Unfortunately, organic winemakers are not forced
    to disclose whether or not animal-sourced products were used during the manufacturing process.

    The only way to be certain that the way does not contain animal-based additives is to purchase liqueur from
    a trusted vegan product dealer.

    Unlike organic wine, there are no predefined guidelines or compulsory certifications that
    are required to make natural wine. The winemaker decides
    the methods and parameters that are used to achieve natural liqueur.
    While they are free to decide the concentration of sulphur dioxide, many natural winemakers avoid adding it altogether.
    Natural wine is not required to be made using naturally
    grown grapes. The final outcome of natural wine is one that has only
    minor intervention or preservatives.

    When a customer sees an organic certification emblem displayed upon a liquor bottle,
    they can be confident that the liqueur they are buying is produced according to
    the rigorous regulations outlined by their respective wine growing regions.

    Does organic or natural wine taste the same as
    regular wine?
    When the grapevines from which the organically grown wine
    is produced are more wholesome and unpolluted than their regular wine counterparts, than it’s understandable that the liquor will also carry a superior taste.
    Those who drink organically grown wines note that they
    contain a greater spectrum of flavour, resulting in a more robust
    taste. In addition to having a richer flavour, drinkers of organic wines
    have also observed that the colours are more vivid and lively.

    Is there anything inherently bad with regular wine?

    Wines that are produced using traditional processes are perfectly fine.
    However, there are many winemakers and consumers alike that
    simply desire a liqueur that does not make use of toxic insecticides and other poisonous additives during the
    winemaking process. With the absence of synthetic toxins, the
    soil from which organic wines are produced is untainted,
    ensuring that the wine is as well. Furthermore, the grapevines of organic
    wines yield grapes that deliver stronger flavours, resulting in wines that possess
    a more sumptuous taste.

    How do you ensure you are buying a wine that is truly organic?

    It’s important for consumers to be aware that numerous winemakers brand their wines as organic,
    in an attempt to make a quick profit from the wholesome image that
    sustainably grown products enjoy. Organic wines are required to
    carry a certification logo, and in many countries the logo will contain a verification number.
    This number guarantees that the liquor you are purchasing is authorised to be packaged and sold
    as organic wine. If a product contains the word ‘organic’ in its name, without an accompanying industry
    label to verify its status as such, then it should not
    be considered organic.

    Sheridan Prendiville is a commercial manager at Cellars Wine Club , a
    leading Washington State based wine of the month
    club that offers wine subscriptions to suit all manner of tastes,
    including red wine , premium wines, organic wines and more.

  67. The cost for one of London’s most pricey apartments will begin at £35million – with 600 megarich customers already securing
    a spot on the waiting list.

    Pricing details of billionaire John Caudwell’s spectacular 1 Mayfair development have now been revealed and only those with the deepest pockets can hope to afford one of
    the lavish pads.

    The cheapest apartment on offer is expected
    to be an eye-watering £35million – around 70 times the average cost of a
    house in the capital.

    Due to complete in Spring 2026 the scheme will easily surpass
    London’s previous record breaker, the £1.3billion One Hyde
    Park development in Knightsbridge.

    Caudwell told The Standard that there are already more than 600 prospective buyers on a waiting list of billionaires and centi-millionaires who have
    expressed an interest in making a purchase at the scheme.

    There will be just 24 ‘principal residences’ in the property including lateral apartments,
    penthouses and townhouses with up to five bedrooms, and five
    more smaller ‘pieds-à-terre’ apartments.

    The size of the homes has not yet been disclosed
    but the developers say even the most modest property will start with
    a guide price exceeded by only a handful of mansions in London’s richest neighbourhoods. 

    The average price of all 29 units – which cover 300,000 sq ft – will be close to £70million. 

    The cost of London’s most pricey apartments will begin at £35million – with 600 megarich customers already securing a spot on the waiting list.

    Details of pricing at John Caudwell’s spectacular Mayfair development has now
    been revealed and only those with the deepest pockets can hope to afford

    The entry level price of £35million is 70 times the average London property value of around £500,000, and 130 times the national average price of £268,
    000 revealed in today’s Nationwide house price survey for November.

    The development’s basement is being dug down to 90ft below ground level to
    make room for a health spa with a 20 metre swimming pool as well as a car park.

    The designs were led by New York based architect Robert
    Stern and practice RAMSA, with contractors, Mace, the construction managers and PJ Carey
    responsible for the creation of the basement substructure and superstructure.

    Due to complete in Spring 2026 after a six years
    build the scheme will easily surpass London’s previous record breaker, the £1.3billion One Hyde Park development in Knightsbridge.

    The ceremony was marked by the final steel rafter, one of 79 at roof level,
    being put into place on the top of the nine-storey main apartment building.

    No expense has been spared on the building’s interior and it will feature a ceiling with hand-painted frescos based on Michelangelo’s Map of the Heavens
    in the Vatican, a reception room with a double height ceiling and 18ft high French
    windows overlooking the garden.

    There will also be a Palace of Versailles Hall of Mirrors-style crystal callery, created from over 1,264 hand-set

  70. Australian politicians are almost always opting to fly with Qantas on taxpayer-funded trips, despite Virgin offering cheaper tickets.

    Federal MPs flew with the national carrier for 80 per cent of work trips last
    year despite it not always being the cheapest route,
    according to travel data provided to the government.

    While politicians and their staffers are required to book
    the cheapest flight, it also has to be the most efficient,
    with Qantas offering the most routes between major cities.

    MPs are banned from accruing frequent flyer points on taxpayer-funded
    trips like ordinary Aussies can, but they can can receive lifetime status credits, which allows access to airport lounges
    and flight upgrades.

    ‘How else can one explain the extraordinary dominance of Qantas in securing bookings by parliamentarians and their staff?’ Myriam Robin wrote in an opinion piece for the Australian Financial Review.

    ‘There’s nothing like accruing status credits on someone else’s dime.’

    Transport Minister Catherine King has since committed to a
    review of flight bookings by government officials which will be conducted by the
    Department of Finance this year, despite there being
    just two months left of 2024.

    Politicians’ preference for Qantas may also be put down to the airline’s exclusive
    invite-only ‘Chairman’s Lounge’.

    The Flying Kanga-RORT – why you’re footing the bill as airlines wine and dine pollies in VIP
    club

    Daily Mail Australia in August revealed that nearly every single federal politician in the country has accepted free membership of the club.

    Qantas and the Albanese government have both denied the airline enjoys any disproportionate level of influence over the country’s political classes.

    A Daily Mail Australia audit of the members’ interest registers – in both the House of
    Representatives and the Senate – revealed almost 93 per cent of the
    nation’s leaders have been ‘gifted’ membership to the lavish, all-inclusive lounge.

    The high profile ranks of government giftees include Prime Minister Anthony Albanese as well as every member of
    his 22-person Cabinet, his seven-person Outer Ministry and all 12 assistant
    ministers.

    While most politicians declared their Qantas’ privileges
    as a ‘gift’, Labor MP Marion Scrymgour listed her
    membership as her ‘Chairman Lounge entitlement’.

    Daily Mail Australia in August revealed that nearly every single federal politician in the country has accepted free membership of Qantas’
    exclusive Chairman’s Lounge.

    And it’s not just politicians on the take, with more
    than 60 MPs – including Marles, Chalmers, King, Bill Shorten, Zali Steggall and Tanya Plibersek
    – disclosing their spouses have also been granted unfettered, independent access to Qantas’ luxurious members only lounge.

    Often touted as ‘the most exclusive club in the country’, membership
    to the Chairman’s Lounge has long been veiled in secrecy.

    Even the entrances to each of the country’s six opulent VIP
    clubs – in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth airports – are suitably discreet.

    Though, once inside, the designer lounges are immediately more ostentatious, with free à
    la carte fine dining, table service, a decadent selection of wines and Champagne and a discreet army of
    dedicated lounge attendants.

    Membership to the club is ‘priceless’ – it cannot be bought for any amount of money nor obtained via any amount of frequent flyers
    points.

    Instead, each member is hand-picked and approved by the company’s chief executive and chairman.

  72. Briton Matthew Smith, the partner of former Abercrombie & Fitch CEO
    Michael Jeffries, leaves court in Central Islip, New York on December 3, 2024

    The partner of the ex-CEO of the Abercrombie and Fitch
    clothing line pleaded not guilty Tuesday in US federal
    court to charges of sex trafficking and interstate prostitution and was released on $10 million bond.

    Briton Matthew Smith, the ex-CEO Mike Jeffries and their fixer
    James Jacobson allegedly used a “casting couch” ploy to groom aspiring male models to attend sex
    parties at which victims were plied with alcohol and drugs.

    After his arrest in October in Florida with Jeffries, Smith was held in custody in New York.
    Smith appeared in court Tuesday in Central Islip on Long Island, to the
    east of New York City.

    Smith pleaded not guilty and was released on a $10
    million bond put up by Jeffries and his family, said a statement from the US
    attorney’s office for the eastern district of New York.

    An AFP photographer saw Smith leave the courthouse with what appeared to be a large electronic surveillance bracelet attached to his ankle.

    Le Britannique Matthew Smith, compagnon de l’ancien patron de l’enseigne américaine de mode Abercrombie & Fitch, Michael Jeffries, sort

    et proxénétisme

    Another hearing is scheduled for December 10 for Smith, Jeffries and Jacobson.

    Jeffries, 80, was released on a $10 million bond in late October.

    Jeffries, who served as CEO of Abercrombie and Fitch from 1992 to
    2014, is accused of creating and maintaining a ring that recruited young men to have sex with him and Smith.

    Prosecutors allege that between December 2008 and March 2015 Jeffries,
    Smith and Jacobson used a combination of “force, fraud and coercion”
    to traffic men in a sprawling prostitution enterprise.

    Charging documents detail 15 anonymous victims, but prosecutors suggest the scale was
    probably much larger and have appealed for witnesses and victims to come forward.

    Prosecutors say young men were taken to the New York home of Jeffries and Smith and
    to hotels in Britain, France, Italy, Morocco to have sex with them.

    Jeffries faces the prospect of life in prison if convicted.

    Jacobson also pleaded not guilty to the same charges as the
    other defendants and was released on half a million dollars bond
    in October.

  74. Terrifier 3 star David Howard Thornton has broken his silence
    on the low-budget horror film demolishing $200m flop Joker:
    Folie à Deux at the box office.

    The grisly film – made for about $2 million – stars Thornton as homicidal clown Art who brutally
    murders an array of victims in stomach churning scenes – with the film knocking
    the starry Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga film off the top
    of the US box office last week.

    Thornton said the runaway success of his film had left him stunned as he likened to battle of the two
    films to ‘David vs Goliath.’ 

    He told TMZ: ‘Terrifier 3 was a small lower budget independent
    film… I never expected this to happen in my life, I’m floored and
    grateful for it all.

    ‘We’re grateful to the fans, we have a dedicated fanbase, we weren’t beholden to the studio system.

    Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as box office champ

    The star said he had yet to see the panned Joker sequel, saying:
    ‘I was shocked too as the first Joker film I loved, I’m curious
    to see why people aren’t as crazy about the second one.’    

    Terrifier 3, written and directed by Damien Leone, is an un-rated blood fest, which has received a 78-percent rating from the critics
    on Rotten Tomatoes.  Audiences have ‘certified’ it ‘hot’ and
    given it a healthy 90-percent on the popcornmeter.

    The film earned $18.3 million at the box office according to The Numbers.   

    Landing in third place was Joker: Folie à Deux. After winning the box office
    competition during its debut weekend could not overcome the bad reviews, enduring an 82-percent decline in ticket sales.

    The movie collected only $7.055 million, in spite of being in more than four thousand theaters across the US.

    – pictured last week

    He said: ‘Terrifier 3 was a small lower budget independent film…
    I never expected this to happen in my life, I’m floored and grateful for it all’

    The musical is ‘poised to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical run’ according to the publication.

    The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce the film and about $100
    million on marketing and distribution, according to the report.

    It would need to gross about $450 million at
    the box office to break even — when factoring in the cut
    taken by theaters — though Warner Bros.
    sources claim the number is $375 million.

    A Warner Bros. spokesperson responded to the report, saying ‘Any estimates suggested by anonymous “insiders” or
    “rival executives” are grossly wrong and continues a trend where rumor is reported as fact.’

    ‘The film continues to play in theatrical release, included with this week’s opening in China, and will continue to earn revenue throughout its home viewing and ancillary run.’

    So far, the musical about Batman’s nemesis has grossed $51.5 million domestically and $165
    million globally after two weeks of release.

    The film is ‘poised to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical run’ according to the publication

    In comparison, the first Joker grossed $96.2 million domestically and $248.4 million globally after
    three days of release.

    The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning
    film was considered a surefire hit for Warner
    Bros Pictures, yet ended up being slammed by critics and failed to ignite at
    the box office.

  75. Russell Crowe has argued that the rise of independent politicians are better representing the views of everyday Australians, unlike the two-party-dominated system in the United States. 

    The Oscar-winning actor made the claim in response to
    podcast host Joe Rogan  complaining that Americans were ‘completely trapped in the two-party
    system’.

    ‘We have the same sort of situation, but we have a very interesting thing that’s happening in Australia at the moment, which is the
    rise of independents,’ Crowe countered.

    ‘The main parties have to deal with the fact those independents have to bring a non-party-line series of points to the argument.

    ‘And it’s working well. It’s working for us.
    In that it’s making both of the main parties re-examine who they are and what they stand for.

    Rogan mused ‘we could use that here, for sure’, highlighting
    how US politics is completely dominated by the Democrat and Republican parties.

    There are other parties, including the Green, Libertarian, and Reform parties, but these receive vanishingly few votes
    in comparison.

    Independent candidates can also stand and have been known to perform well on occasion. 

    The Oscar-winning actor (pictured ) made the observation in response to podcast host Joe Rogan who complained that
    Americans were ‘completely trapped in the two-party system’

    Joe Rogan (pictured) is one of the most powerful media figures in the world 

    Civil rights opponent George Wallace ran a third-party campaign in the 1968
    US election which saw him garner 10 million votes and take five southern states, while another disaffected Democrat, Strom Thurmond, in 1948 carried four southern states on a similarly racist
    platform but with only a million votes.

    The nephew of a president, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., was poised to get on the ballot in dozens of states as an independent candidate before he pulled out and backed Republican Donald Trump. 

    He has now been appointed Health secretary in Trump’s incoming cabinet. 

    Trump himself had previously belonged to the Reform Party.

    The former New York property developer had even considered running for president in the 2000 election under the banner of that movement – formed by former third-party presidential candidate Ross Perot, who
    won 19 per cent of the popular vote in 1992 but gained
    no electoral college votes.

    Perot was the most popular minority party candidate since former Republican president Teddy Roosevelt in 1912 ran as the Bull Moose Party candidate – carrying six states including California and coming second ahead of Republican William Taft.

    Australia has seen a rise in recent years of nominally independent politicians who
    have taken votes away from the two traditional parties of Labor
    and the Liberal-National coalition

    This situation is helped by a strong Green party who now
    have 12 senators and four members in the House of
    Representatives. 

    Zali Steggall (pictured) became the first ‘teal’ independent to achieve huge success when she
    ousted former prime minister Tony Abbott in his seat in Sydney’s
    northern beaches at the 2019 election

    Meanwhile, independent candidates who run on strong climate platforms but are fiscally conservative have been labelled ‘teal’ candidates.

    This is because they have combined their ‘green’ views on climate
    with the traditional ‘blue’ approach of the centre-right Liberal
    Party on economics.

    Zali Steggall became the first teal independent to achieve huge success when she ousted former prime minister Tony Abbott in his seat in Sydney’s northern beaches at the 2019 election.

    In similar fashion, Monique Ryan won the traditionally Liberal seat from former
    treasurer Josh Frydenberg at the 2022 election. 

    She was one of seven teals elected, swelling the lower house crossbench to 16, with this tally
    including the four Greens, three conservative
    independents and progressives Andrew Wilkie and Helen Haines.

    Crowe’s three-hour conversation with Rogan, which was first aired in August, has recently
    resurfaced in teal social media adverts.

    They are being pushed by Melbourne philanthropist Simon Holmes à Court,
    who founded Climate 200, which has given campaign funding to some teal
    candidates.

    Not all the 12 independents elected in 2022 were teals, however. 

    Maverick independent Bob Katter has just celebrated 50 years in parliament (pictured:
    being congratulated by prime minister Anthony Albanese)

    Dai Lee, a former state Liberal candidate, defeated former Labor frontbencher and former NSW Labor premier Kristina Keneally in the south-west
    Sydney seat of Fowler.

    And, of course, maverick Bob Katter who has just celebrated 50 years in parliament,
    spending 20 years as a Queensland state MP before serving the
    past three decades in federal parliament as the MP for the regional
    far north Queensland electorate of Kennedy. 

    Among his many mad-hat policies over the years include a bid to teach school kids how to fire rifles and
    a desire to build a missile shield across northern Australia.

    The House of Representatives crossbench grew to 17 in late 2022 when Andrew Gee quit
    the Nationals in protest at its opposition to the Indigenous Voice to Parliament. 

    The Greens and independents make up 11 per cent of the 151-member lower house – the highest proportion of non major party MPs since Federation in 1901.

  76. A billionaire couple have won the right to remove a
    single tree from the driveway of their lavish $20million mansion after being blocked by
    their local council. 

    Paul Holmes a Court, the son of Australia’s first
    billionaire Robert Holmes a Court, and his wife Zara had been at loggerheads with their local council over a request
    to remove a single peppermint tree growing in the middle
    of their driveway.

    The couple bought the four-bedroom mansion in the
    affluent, tree-lined suburb overlooking Perth’s
    Freshwater Bay for $20.1million in August.

    They wanted to remove the tree but the Shire of Peppermint Grove refused the
    request on the grounds the tree was not dead or deceased. 

    ‘We are very lucky to live here, but I have to say that the tree
    placement is unusual,’ Ms Holmes a Court previously told a council meeting. 

    ‘I’m quite a reasonable and rational person, but a tree in the middle of the driveway makes it quite tricky to reverse out.’

    The couple enjoyed a breakthrough at a council meeting last week after an alternative motion was unanimously passed that allowed the tree to be removed on the condition they
    paid a $2,500 bond before any work was done on the driveway.

    They will also need to plant two replacement trees on their property.

    Paul Holmes a Court (pictured) is the son of Australia’s first billionaire, famed tycoon Robert Holmes a Court,
    who died suddenly of heart failure at the age of 53

    Paul Holmes à Court and his wife Zara won a council battle to remove a peppermint tree (pictured)
    from the driveway of their $20million mansion

    Ms Holmes a Court previously claimed the tree’s odd placement also made it difficult to spot cars turning the corner at
    a nearby intersection with Bay View Terrace.

    After the motion to remove the tree was passed at the meeting, councillor Douglas Jackson said it was a ‘good outcome’.

    ‘I think it meets both the owners’ wants, or expectation, but also matches the council’s needs at the same time by ensuring that there is tree cover on the verge of that property,’ he
    said.

    Peppermint Grove is hoping to implement a policy that would even make it an offence to damage or remove any mature trees on private
    property without council approval.

    Last month, WA Planning Minister John Carey said he hoped the Shire of Peppermint Grove would ‘take a common sense
    approach’ to the issue.

    ‘This is part of the challenge that we do have with local government.
    I’ve always been on the record that we need local governments to take a common sense approach to issues,’ Mr
    Carey told the West Australian. 

    ‘And I understand people are passionate about trees. But ultimately,
    we do need local governments to assess the situation and find pragmatic outcomes.’

    According to the online listing for the four-bedroom, four-bathroom mansion – which
    is built on a corner block along the banks of the
    Swan River – the sprawling Federation-style property
    was built in around 1904. 

    The Holmes à Court property was built in around 1904 in Federation ‘Arts and Crafts’ style

    The home boast an unparalleled view of the Swan River
    overlooking Fresh Water Bay

    ‘Designed in the rare Federation ‘Arts and Crafts’ style, the home has
    retained all its elegance and splendour via lofty ceilings, sweeping verandas,
    charming decorative arches, casement-style sash windows, and walls
    of French doors that bathe the home in light,
    reflecting river views beyond,’ the listing said.

    The property also features ‘Plush Champagne-hued carpets’ and ‘cobble-stoned remote
    garage to accommodate six cars, abundant storage, gym
    area, double vanity rain-shower bathroom and climate-controlled
    wine cellar.’

    Mr Holmes a Court is the chief executive of prize-winning wine label Vasse Felix and the brother of
    Peter Holmes à Court, who once jointly owned of the South Sydney Rabbitohs with Russell Crowe, and climate philanthropist Simon Holmes à
    Court.

  77. An invitation to lunch at Caviar Kaspia was, once upon a time, an offer you simply didn’t refuse.
    Providing, of course, that the bill was on someone else.
    Because caviar, smeared on blinis or piled high on baked potatoes,
    sure didn’t come cheap. There may have been other
    things on the menu, but no one paid them much heed. This was all about lashings of the black stuff.

    Caviar Kaspia’s signature baked potato and caviar: ‘there are few better dishes on earth…only the price,
    at just under £150, is ridiculous’

    Caviar Kaspia popped her final tin about two decades back.
    And that site, hidden down a smart Mayfair mews, was taken over by Gavin Rankin (who used to be the boss), and transformed into
    the brilliant Bellamy’s. It prospers to this day.

    Kaspia, on the other hand, went quiet. Until last year,
    when she reopened as a members’ club in another Mayfair backstreet.
    But a £2,000 a year membership fee proved hard to
    swallow, meaning the doors were opened to the great unwashed.

    Which is how we find ourselves sitting in a
    rather handsome – albeit near empty – dining room, lusciously lavish, under the stern gaze of a stern painting of a very stern man. The soft,
    crepuscular gloom is broken up by the glare of table lamps, indecorously
    bright, while a loud soundtrack of indolent, indeterminate beats throbs in the background.
    The whole place is scented with gilded ennui.

    Our fellow diners are two young South Korean women of pale, luminescent beauty, clad
    in diaphanous couture. They don’t speak, rather communicate entirely via camera phone.

    Pose, click, check, filter, post. Immaculate waiters hover in the shadows.

    We sip ice-cold vodka, and eat a £77 caviar and smoked-salmon Kaspia
    croque monsieur that tastes far better than it ought to.
    Next door, a large table fills with a glut of the noisily,
    glossily confident.

    We’re looked after by a wonderful French lady of such effervescent charm and charisma that had she
    burst into an impromptu performance of ‘Willkommen’, we would have barely blinked.
    Baked potatoes, skin as crisp as parchment, insides whipped savagely hard with
    butter and sour cream, are a study in tuber art. A cool jet-black splodge of oscietra caviar, gently
    saline, raises them to the sublime. Only the price, at just under £150 each, is ridiculous.
    But there are few better dishes on earth.
    I’d eat this every day if I could. But I can’t.

    Obviously. That’s the problem with caviar. One taste is never
    enough.

  78. Joe Aston got the kind of book launch every first time
    author dreams of – massive amounts of free publicity online, in newspapers and on TV and radio. 

    And it was all thanks to Anthony Albanese’s ill-informed attack
    on Aston over what was written in his book, The Chairman’s
    Lounge – The Inside Story of how Qantas sold us out.

    Despite the resultant terrible publicity – which has
    led to him being called ‘upgrade Albo’ – and calls for an inquiry,
    Aston told Daily Mail Australia his book is ‘not a hit job on Anthony
    Albanese’.

    Aston insisted he’s ‘not trying to get a scalp’,
    but reiterated that the Prime Minister ‘had a direct line to Alan Joyce’.

    The book claims Mr Albanese got 22 upgrades from economy on Qantas flights by
    personally requesting them from the airline’s then CEO
    Mr Joyce – which the Prime Minister has categorically denied.

    According to unnamed Qantas ‘insiders’, 11
    of the 22 flights Mr Albanese got upgrades for were ‘privately funded’ and
    included overseas trips to Rome, London, Los Angeles and Honolulu. 

    But instead of addressing the claim, Mr Albanese
    chose to shoot the messenger and, in turn, shot himself in the foot. 

    He said Aston was using the accusations to sell books and said he was
    hiding his employment history. 

    ‘I don’t see declarations that he’s a former Liberal Party staffer…
    I don’t see declarations he’s a former Qantas
    employee,’ the Prime Minister said. 

    But before the book even gets to the contents page there is a
    photo of Aston that refers to him as the then-Qantas corporate communications senior
    adviser.

    CEO Alan Joyce on March 31, 2023 in Sydney, Australia

    And the first chapter of the book reveals that he worked for then-Liberal MP Bruce Baird, who held
    the southern Sydney seat of Cook before Scott Morrison. 

    ‘My professional history is not a secret or not disclosed, it’s in the first line of the first
    page of the book,’ Aston said on Tuesday night, just before his book launch. 

    Though he was grateful for the free publicity Mr Albanese’s response
    gave the book, Aston was still ‘staggered’ at the untrue claims
    about him the Prime Minister made. 

    ‘He’s under enormous pressure and I know, I’ve seen this many times with public figures and leaders who struggle to see their own part in it, the terrible circumstances that they create,’ he said.

    Extravagant Qantas perk Anthony Albanese FAILED to declare is revealed…

    after two days of denials

    Asked if Mr Albanese had been poorly advised in his attack, Aston, who
    is a former Australian Financial Review columnist, wonders if the Prime Minister ‘even listens
    to advice at this point’.

    ‘All he’s doing is talking around the issue and he’s blaming me and he’s blaming other MP’s for also taking upgrades (on Qantas flights).

    ‘He’s avoiding the only thing that he can’t talk about, which is, did you ask Qantas
    for confirmed upgrades on your private holidays when you were
    the Transport Minister? The answer is “yes” and he’s desperately trying to avoid saying it.’

    Smelling blood, Opposition leader Peter Dutton said the Prime Minister should refer himself to the anti-corruption commission over the flight upgrades.

    Coming on top of Mr Albanese’s tone deaf purchase of a $4.3million clifftop
    mansion while so many people are struggling to pay their mortgage or rent, the latest blow
    to his credibility has led to calls for him to resign.

    Aston refuses to be drawn on this, though. 

    ‘I never expected this (part of the book) to
    even this part to get this far. I really am shocked at how it’s blown up.

    Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is pictured with the then Qantas CEO Alan Joyce

    Anthony Albanese is pictured on August 14, 2023 as Qantas unveiled
    its Yes23 livery in support of a Yes vote in the Indigenous Voice to Parliament referendum 

    Among the movers and shakers at Joe Aston’s book launch
    in the ritzy Hemmesphere club in Sydney was Tabcorp director David Gallop (pictured)

    Paul Barry (pictured in blue shirt), the host of the ABC’s Media Watch
    show, was also at the launch

    ‘So to the extent that it has, I would say …
    anyone who reads the book will learn that this book is not a hit job on Anthony Albanese.
    This book is about Qantas. 

    ‘Anthony Albanese is an example of how Qantas influences
    politicians on both sides of the aisle, Labor, Liberal, National, you name it.
    They’ve been doing it for more than a generation.

    ‘They’re the best influence peddler in Australia. I’m not here trying to
    get a scalp. That’s not what this book is about and it
    never was.’

    But the conversation Daily Mail Australia had
    with Aston mirrors the conversations being had across Australia and eventually winds up
    back on Mr Albanese. 

    ‘Even I’ve underestimated how fed up the public is with the freebie mindset
    of politicians,’ he said.

    ‘And unfortunately for Albanese, he’s been in politics a long
    time and that kind of behaviour is quite normalised to him,
    is what I’ve seen. 

    ‘I mean, he loves the free concert tickets and sitting at the front row of
    the Australian Open Tennis. 

    ‘I went to the Australian Open Tennis as a journalist
    almost every year for 12 years and he was the only Prime
    Minister (I saw there).

    ‘Those tickets are worth thousands of dollars to sit in the front row of the International Grand Slam.
    He’s the first Prime Minister who I’ve ever seen do that.

    ‘That to me is a sign that he doesn’t quite get what it looks like to others when he’s on the gravy train. And I think (the claims in the book are) just
    another example of that.’

    In Australian politics it’s regular practise for an MP’s travel
    to be booked in economy, then someone in their office phones the airline and asks if their flight can be
    upgraded. 

    The difference with the Prime Minister is that ‘he had a very
    direct line to Alan Joyce,’ Aston said.

    ‘The other thing is there’s a difference between an upgrade where it’s in the booking
    and if the seat’s empty when the flight closes, you’ll get upgraded.

    ‘This is different. This is a confirmed upgrade where the
    ticket is converted and you are guaranteed. You’re not going
    to the airport crossing your fingers going “Geez, I hope there is a spare seat”.

    ‘You’re guaranteed. You turn up knowing you’re getting
    a seat and the only person at Qantas who can issue those types of upgrades is the CEO.
    No other executive can do that.

    ‘So it is beyond question that Alan joints authorised these upgrades (for Anthony Albanese).’

    Aston enjoyed many upgrades to the pointy end of planes during his time as
    a travel journalist, and understands the attraction for politicians to get up there. 

    ‘These things are tempting and it’s human nature
    too. Once you’ve experienced the front of the plane, it’s very hard
    to go back.

    ‘For politicians, they run around with all these staff
    and they’ve got chauffeured cars and they fly in business, but they
    don’t get paid like CEOs …

    ‘They’re not in a situation where they can afford to go flying around in the front of
    the plane on personal travel. 

    ‘A normal person would say “Therefore I won’t (fly business class). But (for politicians) it’s a culture of entitlement.’

    Aston is careful to point out that most people would say politicians are ‘very well paid compared to the average worker’.

    But that doesn’t stop some MPs from desperately seeking a free ride, whether it’s a flight upgrade, concert tickets or the executive box at sporting events. 

    Late on Wednesday night, a spokeswoman Mr Albanese said ‘The Prime Minister did not ever call Alan Joyce seeking an upgrade’.

    ‘All travel has been appropriately declared and is a matter of public record.’

    Daily Mail Australia has contacted Qantas for comment.

  80. Polka dots are making a major comeback.

    Just recently we saw Olivia Rodrigo on the New York
    City subway in a figure-flattering black and white spotted dress that fell below the knee.

    The singer-songwriter gave her frock a a youthful spin with Stuart Weitzman Mary Jane heels, Rainbow
    K jewelry, and a leopard Kurt Geiger shoulder bag.

    The trend falls in line with the growing desire for vintage-inspired fashions
    and statement-making designs.

    The retro print was featured in multiple fall designer collections, including Balmain, Marc Jacobs and Stella McCartney.

    The resurgence reflects polka dots’ versatility –  they can easily
    transition between playful, casual looks – à la Olivia – and sophisticated, timeless ensembles.

    Chrissy Teigen was spotted outside The Bowery Hotel in the East Village looking sensational in a whimsical
    polka dot dress featuring romantic ruffles.

    The supermodel topped her frock with a black blazer
    coat and satin pumps.

    Anna Wintour was spotted sitting front and center at the Marc Jacobs
    show in a red and white polka dot dress.

    Polka dots have a timeless appeal and a retro charm, and they can be styled a number of ways

    Polka dots are trending this season because they can fit into both modern and vintage-inspired aesthetics.

    Black and white dots are classic and easy to style.

    Just add pops of color through accessories like red shoes, hot pink lipstick or
    a bright yellow handbag.

    Small dots are ideal for dresses or blouses, while oversize
    prints look great with statement-making pieces like outerwear or skirts. 

    For an unexpected yet harmonious look, pair a polka-dot piece with complementary prints like stripes, florals, or animal prints.

    Polka dots also look great when paired with texture.

    A leather jacket, chunky knit cardigan or structured blazer all add dimension without taking the focus off of the print.

  81. Celine Dion had a hilarious reaction to her hit, My Heart Will Go On,
    in a new video this week.

    The iconic songstress, 56, who is best known for the
    1997 Titanic soundtrack song, was seen attempting to stream
    her rendition of Edith Piaf’s Hymne à l’amour – but Siri
    failed to understand her and instead suggested My Heart Will Go
    On.

    In the clip, Dion says: ‘Hey Siri, play Hymne à l’amour by Céline Dion?’ with
    Siri responding: ‘I cannot find that track
    by Céline Dion but here is My Heart Will Go On.

    A frustrated Dion said: ‘No! Hello, No, no, no, Hey Siri, can you play Hymne à l’amour by Céline Dion please?’

    Again, Siri replied: ‘I cannot find that track by Céline Dion but here is My Heart Will Go On.’

    How Celine Dion fought Stiff Person Syndrome every day to be fit to open the Olympics

    Dion burst out laughing and said ‘never mind!’ before suggesting she ask the question in a strong French accent.

    After this Siri responded: ‘Okay, here is ‘Hymne à l’amour by Céline Dion.’

    Dion looked shocked before smiling and giving the thumbs up.

    In July Dion made a musical comeback with the track at the 2024 Paris Olympic Opening Ceremony amid her battle with incurable condition, stiff-person syndrome.

    28 years after making her Olympic debut in 1996 at Atlanta’s stadium, Celine proved she’s still got it following her emotional act in the French city at the Eiffel Tower.

    And after bringing fans to tears, Celine reflected on the iconic moment with a heartfelt message on X.

    She wrote: ‘I’m honored to have performed tonight, for the Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony, and so full of joy to be back in one of my very favorite cities!

    ‘Most of all, I’m so happy to be celebrating these amazing athletes, with all their stories of sacrifice and determination, pain and perseverance.

    In the clip, Dion says: ‘Hey Siri, play Hymne à l’amour by Céline Dion?’ with Siri responding: ‘I cannot find that track by Céline Dion but here is My Heart Will Go On. ” A frustrated Dion said: ‘No!
    Hello, No, no, no’

    Again, Siri replied: ‘I cannot find that track
    by Céline Dion but here is My Heart Will Go On’

    In July Dion made a musical comeback with the track at the 2024 Paris Olympic Opening Ceremony amid her battle with incurable condition, stiff-person syndrome 

    ‘All of you have been so focused on your dream, and whether or not
    you take home a medal, I hope that being here means that it has
    come true for you!

    ‘You should all be so proud, we know how hard you have worked to be the best of the
    best. Stay focused, keep going, my heart is with you! – Celine xx…’

    Celine looked incredible in a shimmering silver gown as she performed in front
    of the Eiffel Tower.

    She gave a rendition of Hymne à L’amour, which was originally
    sung by French music icon Edith Piaf.

    The song was originally released in 1950 and its title translates into English as
    ‘Hymn to Love.’

    The My Heart Will Go On songstress looked to
    be on the verge of tears as she finished the performance to cheers from the crowd,
    whilst viewers at home were also left emotional.

  82. Nothing signals the start of winter quite like the return of
    the Fair Isle knit. Once considered ‘ugly’ knitwear we’d only pull
    out from the back of our wardrobes as an alternative to a Christmas jumper (especially the red-nosed reindeer kind à
    la Mark Darcy in Bridget Jones’s Diary) or for a winter sport holiday (specifically for après-ski), the
    Fair Isle jumper has now become somewhat of a fashion statement.

    The knit is named after the small, eponymous Shetland Island in Scotland and
    uses a traditional knitting technique to create those distinctive patterns
    with multiple colours. It was brought into vogue by an earlier
    Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII) in the 1920s, and has remained a casual wardrobe staple for members of the Royal Family,
    including Kate Middleton, whose jumper collection includes at
    least three different Fair Isle designs.

    Kensington Palace

    Another fan of the nostalgic knit is Alexa Chung, who recently layered a Fair Isle vest by Molly Goddard over a light blue button-down in a snap for Instagram.
    The It-girl previously also wore a V-neck vest from Cotswolds-based knitwear brand Cooking Apple, and sported a chunky Fair Isle crewneck with white, straight-leg jeans, black loafers and an oversized,
    black leather blazer to ring in the festive season at private members’ club in London last year.

    A host of designers have dropped Fair Isle-inspired
    knits for AW24, proving the multicoloured jumpers have become a timeless investment.
    If, as in our case, that £1,885 cashmere turtleneck from Loro Piana is a little out of your budget, there are countless options on the high street.
    The cropped cardi from Hush certainly caught our attention, as did
    the Fair Isle knit that was featured in the John Lewis Christmas advert.
