Cooper, who is 15, is being tipped for Bafta victory for his debut acting performance as Jamie Miller, a child accused of murder, in the sleeper Netflix hit, which became the most-streamed title in both the UK and the US within its first week of release. Adolescence has received immense acclaim, with episode three in particular being highlighted as a standout. Making the episode even more impressive is the fact that this episode was the first to be shot – meaning it was newcomer Cooper’s first time acting on screen. While the episode goes to extremely dark places, with Jamie slowly divulging his motives for killing a young girl as he’s interviewed by Erin Doherty’s child psychiatrist, there was one small moment that Cooper particularly …

Kim Kardashian’s Met Gala Look Had 1 Detail So Extreme It Made People Uncomfortable

Just imagine how many Skims bodysuits must have been involved. Kim Kardashian courted controversy after her appearance at Monday’s Met Gala due to a very uncomfortable-looking aspect of her wardrobe. Kim’s outfit attracted a lot of controversy once again. Aliah Anderson via Getty Images The reality-TV-star-turned-law-student wore a custom Maison Margiela Artisanal gown by John Galliano with a metal corset so extreme, it basically snatched her waist to oblivion. Another look at Kim’s Maison Margiela Artisanal gown. Kevin Mazur/MG24 via Getty Images Kim’s practically non-existent waist rattled people on X, formerly Twitter, for a variety of reasons. Some felt the shapewear line co-founder was once again reinforcing the same kind of unhealthy and impossible female beauty standards with which she has long been associated. Other people just wondered how she could possibly breathe in the outfit. I don’t follow the Kardashians, but when I saw this last night I had to comment on how scary it was. Having a corset on that tight can’t be healthy. It actually made me uncomfortable. I hope she’s okay …

Stormy Daniels Goes Into Detail, Great Detail, at Donald Trump’s Trial

Stormy Daniels Goes Into Detail, Great Detail, at Donald Trump’s Trial

Published by skeptic

Donald Trump whispered to his lawyers as Stormy Daniels walked to the witness stand in a Manhattan courtroom Tuesday morning. The porn star was dressed in all black. She moved her glasses from atop her head onto her face. She turned toward the jury and started to explain how it came to be that she was at the center of the scandal leading to the first-ever criminal trial of a US president. Daniels and Trump met at a celebrity golf tournament in 2006. She has claimed that they had sex shortly after meeting—and then never again, though they kept in touch for a time. Ten years later, this account figured prominently and improbably into the lead-up to the 2016 election, when Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen paid Daniels for her silence. The story eventually came out anyway, once Trump had already won, and Daniels became one of the defining figures of the early Trump White House. He called her “horseface”; she acquired global fame. Nearly 20 years since the alleged sexual encounter that Trump denies …

Published by Sam

Former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan used comments, claims and threats from presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump and his allies to predict how “bad” and “fascistic” a possible second Trump White House would be. Hasan described the video for his new media venture Zeteo as “one of the most important segments I’ve ever made”. On X, formerly Twitter, the clip garnered more than 1.6 million views in its first 16 hours alone. The journalist teed up the explainer of what could happen in the first 100 days of a second Trump administration: “If you’re one of those people, even on the left, who isn’t that concerned by the prospect of a Trump second term ― that it won’t be that bad, that we survived Trump the first time round ― then this next segment is for you.” Hasan then urged viewers to “picture the scene” on January 20, 2025, the day of Trump’s second inauguration, when he would launch the “dictatorship” he’s talked about ― immediately closing the US-Mexico border and invoking the Insurrection Act to …
