Meet Tom Brady’s 3 kids: Benjamin, Jack, and Vivian

Published by skeptic

Tom Brady is back in the spotlight following the livestream of his roast on Netflix – which saw his close friends and colleagues reflecting on his life and paying tribute to him in an unorthodox way. It’s been a busy few years for the former New England Patriots quarterback, who retired from football in 2022 and got divorced from wife Gisele Bundchen that same year. But Tom remains a devoted dad to his three kids, Benjamin, Jack, and Vivian. Not long after his divorce from the supermodel was announced, the football star said on Instagram: “We are blessed with beautiful and wonderful children who will continue to be the center of our world in every way”. Tom shares son Jack with ex Bridget Moynahan, best known for her role in Blue Bloods, and children Benjamin and Vivian with Gisele.

Vivian Balakrishnan, Tan Wu Meng among MPs who received extortion letters with fake photos

Dr Balakrishnan’s fellow MP for Holland-Bukit Timah GRC, Mr Chia, was among those who were targeted by the “distressing letters”. “Inside was a distasteful photo where my face was digitally manipulated onto one of the figures, accompanied by an extortion demand,” he wrote on Facebook on Saturday. He said that while it is not uncommon for public figures to face extortion scams, the rise of “deepfakes” makes it “harder to discern reality from fiction”. “With readily available tools, anyone can create deepfake content within minutes,” he added. “This can pose a significant threat to our social fabric. Unchecked, this can affect our public standing and those we love. We must unite as a community to combat these fraudulent acts.” In a Facebook video on Saturday, Dr Tan, an MP for Jurong GRC, said he also received a letter with “fake photos and threats”. He said that he does not want to speculate on the identity of the ringleaders or their location, whether in Singapore or overseas. “I’d rather not speculate on why this is happening now, …

HUMANITARIAN AID The war began on Oct 7 when Hamas sent fighters into Israel, killing 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and seizing 253 hostages, according to Israeli tallies. Israel’s ground and air campaign has killed more than 31,500 people, according to the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza. Israel says it has killed at least 13,000 Hamas members in the Gaza fighting. The main United Nations aid agency in Gaza said on Saturday that acute malnutrition was accelerating in the north of the Palestinian enclave amid the war. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said one in three children under the age of two in northern Gaza is now acutely malnourished. Air and sea relief deliveries into Gaza have started. A first delivery into Gaza by the World Central Kitchen, pioneering a new sea route via Cyprus, arrived on Friday and was off-loaded, the charity said. On Saturday, a second cargo of food aid was ready to depart by sea from Cyprus, Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides said, while the US and Jordan …

‘Love is like crack’: Rye Lane star Vivian Oparah on romcoms, Emma Stone and her zany new comedy | Television

Published by skeptic

How does it feel when, at 27 years old, with minimal acting training and only one feature film under your belt, you find yourself up against Emma Stone and Margot Robbie for best leading actress at the Baftas? “It’s insane, I feel mad,” says Vivian Oparah, the nominated star of last year’s hit indie romcom Rye Lane. “But I also still feel incredibly normal.” Oparah is slightly sleep-deprived when we meet in a cafe, in between her first time on Woman’s Hour and heading home to north London, where she has always lived. Ordering a coffee within seconds of sitting down, she perks up and feels warmly familiar, taking the time to chat about holidays, dating and Netflix’s One Day, which she is too scared to watch, because Normal People destroyed her and “love is like crack – it’s not a normal experience to be dealing with that level of emotion all the time”. It’s surprising to hear this reaction to romance. Although we’re here to talk about her freakishly fun new TV series, Dead …

Isn’t It Interesting? | Vivian Gornick

Lore Segal was ten years old when the Nazis occupied Vienna, in March 1938. Within weeks her father lost his job, her parents were evicted from their apartment, and her grandparents’ business was confiscated. It was quickly decided that she should be sent out of the country on the newly organized Kindertransport headed for England. They walked across the city, she and her parents, to reach the train station, crossing the Danube Canal on the way. She knew that she was leaving them and that she should be feeling sad or frightened, but halfway across the bridge, she couldn’t help it, she was thinking, “Wow! I’m going to England!” At the station everyone was crying; her parents cried, she did not. “How interesting,” she thought, “that I am not crying.” Years later she said to friends, “In that moment I realized I’d decided to give up grief, and go for interesting.” Her father was a bank accountant, her mother a piano-playing housewife. A precocious child, no sooner had Lore arrived in England than she took …

‘On best behaviour, he was a joy’: the lost archive of English pop eccentric Vivian Stanshall | Music

Published by Sam

When Vivian Stanshall was found dead on the morning of 6 March 1995, after a fire in his top-floor flat in Muswell Hill, north London, he left behind a grand creative legacy and a whole heap of chaos. At just 51 years of age, yet with the disorderly, mythic bearing of someone many thousands of years older, this orotund, ginger-locked behemoth departed the world having refashioned the postwar vision of the English eccentric and irreversibly altered the path of British culture. While his florid, stentorian contributions to Dadaist 60s trad-jazz mutilators the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band influenced everyone from the Beatles to Monty Python, a peripatetic path through the 70s saw him appear as the Master of Ceremonies on Mike Oldfield’s Tubular Bells and as a regular lyricist for Steve Winwood, while his 1978 solo LP, the grandiloquent, gothic spoken-word masterpiece that was Sir Henry at Rawlinson End found lifelong fans in both Jarvis Cocker and Stephen Fry, who declared Stanshall “one of the most talented and magnificent Englishmen ever to have drawn breath”.
