Footballers Wives star Laila Rouass calls Coleen Rooney and Rebekah Vardy ‘lightweights’ after Wagatha Christie feud
FOOTBALLERS’ Wives star Laila Rouass has branded Rebekah Vardy and Coleen Rooney “lightweights” when it comes to their infamous Wagatha Christie row. The actress joked that the warring Wags would have ripped each other to bits if their feud was a plot line in the iconic Noughties drama. Laila, 50, played feisty Amber Gates in the cult TV show , which is enjoying a resurgence on streaming service Britbox. She said: “If it was Footballers’ Wives they’d have had it out in the players’ lounge, none of this court business, they would have ripped each other’s t*ts off, ripped each other’s hair extensions out and moved on. “They would have dealt with it that way. I think Coleen and Rebekah are lightweights, to be honest.” Coleen and Rebekah — wives of Derby manager Wayne Rooney and Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy — have so far spent around £1.4million in legal fees as they battle out their feud in court . The spat erupted after Coleen, 35, claimed Rebakah, 39, was …
Review: ‘Heisenberg’ Features an Explosive Pairing of Actors
Though the play’s name is that of a theoretical physicist, chemistry — to be pronounced with a sizzling “s” — is the science that first comes to mind as you watch the splendid Broadway debut of Simon Stephens’s “Heisenberg,” which opened on Thursday night at the Samuel J. Friedman Theater. I mean, in particular, that kind of chemical reaction whereby X meets Y, and the room suddenly pulses with a premonition of violent explosion. Just because two people are in proximity, you know that something either wonderful or terrible is going to happen, and the possibilities are almost too exciting to tolerate. Such is the response generated by the stars (and the entire cast) of “Heisenberg.” They are Mary-Louise Parker and Denis Arndt, and, for my money, they’re the sexiest couple on a New York stage just now. (Apologies to Gil and George, the geriatric roommates in the comedy “Oh, Hello on Broadway.”) Whether either or neither conforms to your specific romantic type, you’ll find it hard …

Paul Rusesabagina was called a hero after ‘Hotel Rwanda,’ now he’s accused of terrorism
LONDON -- Paul Rusesabagina thought he was heading to Burundi when he boarded an airplane in the United Arab Emirates on the night of Aug. 27, 2020. But the 66-year-old former hotelier, who inspired the acclaimed 2004 film "Hotel Rwanda," landed behind bars in Rwanda's capital. Rusesabagina's whereabouts were unknown for several days until Rwandan authorities paraded him in handcuffs during a press conference in Kigali on Aug. 31. Rusesabagina's adopted daughters, Anaise and Carine Kanimba, were together in Washington, D.C., when they got a telephone call from their brother, telling them about their father's arrest. "It was 6 a.m. in the morning and he said, 'Dad is in Kigali,'" Anaise Kanimba, 29, recalled during an interview with ABC News in Washington. "We didn't believe what he said at first, but then we know he would never joke on something like that. And it was this nightmare that we never thought would ever be true." Rusesabagina, who is originally from Rwanda but is …
The Black Film Archive wants to show the world just how limitless Black cinema really is
(CNN) Though they go by different names, almost every major streaming service has some type of "Black film" collection, often promoted during the month of February or, during 2020's Black Lives Matter protests, in the summer. These collections mainly act as an exhibit for the Black movie titles the streamer already has, and as a result, the movies are often from the last 10 years, or maybe the last 20. It's rare to see movies prior to those made in the 1980s. Clicking through the titles, one might think that Black cinema simply didn't exist in the years before that. But Black Film Archive , a new internet tool developed by Maya Cade, aims to change minds. By chronicling historic Black movies -- starting in 1915 and stretching all the way to 1979 -- Cade recontextualizes what Black cinema can be. Featuring more than 200 titles, the archive showcases each film by decade, giving a brief description of the movie, written by Cade, along with some context and a link for folks to …
Reported voting violations mar Russia’s parliamentary ballot
27 MOSCOW (AP) — From the Baltic Sea to the Pacific Ocean, Russians across eleven time zones voted Sunday on the third and final day of a national election for a new parliament, a ballot in which the pro-Kremlin ruling party is largely expected to retain its majority after months of relentless crackdown on the opposition. The vote so far has been marked by numerous reports of violations, including ballot-stuffing, inadequate security and pressure on election monitors. The election is widely seen as an important part of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s efforts to cement his grip on power ahead of the 2024 presidential election, in which control of the State Duma, or parliament, will be key. The vote this year has seen most opposition politicians and activists barred from running as Russian authorities …

Aerosmith Guitarist Joe Perry Selling His Massive Massachusetts Farm for $4.5M
The legendary Aerosmith guitarist Joe Perry is parting with a pristine 7-acre piece of paradise in Duxbury, MA, known as Brook Haven Farm . It's on the market for $4.5 million, and you won't want to miss a thing about this property. For decades, the Massachusetts native has lived large, surrounded by peaceful marsh and pond views in a 14-room mansion built in 1974. Inside, the luxe home features five bedrooms and 7,181 square feet filled with custom, romantic spaces. Other than the guitar-themed entryway and a billiard-room lined with gold records, it would be hard to tell that this country estate is the home of one of the world's most famous rockers. Outside, though, you'll find a dead giveaway—a splashy pool in the shape of a guitar. Back inside, the home features a kitchen with a fireplace, an oversized island, and plenty of windows from which to soak in the views. To truly survey the property, there's a rooftop deck to hang out and enjoy the surroundings. …
