Sienna Miller condemns age gap 'double standards'

The actress discusses comments about expecting a baby at the age of 41 with her 27-year-old partner.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

"Me being the older woman in a partnership with a younger person, or being pregnant over 40 - and that that's 'irresponsible' and 'the poor child' - it's such double standards and I think it's so unquestioned in people's minds. It's just a trite, easy target. But it's absurd. I was very fortunate. I wasn't necessarily trying to get pregnant. This happened as a total surprise and biologically was something that my body was able to do."

In case anyone was harbouring wishes to get Sienna Miller to get her body to do biological things she's still capable of.

It's the most wonderful time of the year
There'll be much mistltoeing
And hearts will be glowing
When loved ones are near
It's the most wonderful time of the year

Host Jo Koy's jokes fall flat and six other Golden Globes moments

One commentator joked his monologue was "a bomb" and viewers also commented on his one-liners.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

Did anyone watch it? I guess I'm still on Ricky Gervais' 2020 scathing criticism of Hollywood.
  • "When the Globes called me and asked if I wanted to host, I jumped at the chance. Then they asked me if I saw the movies and TV shows, and I said yes. I lied."
  • "The minute I signed the contract, I started to binge watch everything, while my family were out there clanking champagne glasses and ringing in the new year, I was watching Oppenheimer. I just have one complaint: It needed another hour."
  • "Oppenheimer answered a question that's been on my mind for years: Yes scientists do get laid. As long as they look like Cillian Murphy."
  • "Robert de Niro. Your last performance has got to be your greatest performance ever. How did you get her pregnant at 80?"
  • "Succession has nine nominations - a great series about a rich, white dysfunctional family, all scheming... oh no that's The Crown, sorry."
  • "How great was Imelda Staunton in The Crown? Her portrayal was so great, Prince Harry called her and asked her for money."

Karolina Shiino: Ukraine-born Miss Japan gives up crown following affair

The controversial Ukraine-born model has resigned after a report on her relations with a married man.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

"The article in the Shukan Bunshun reported that Ms Shiino had engaged in a relationship with a married influencer and doctor. The man has not provided any public comment. In its initial response to the report last week, the pageant organisers defended Ms Shiino, saying she hadn't known the man was married. However on Monday, organisers said she had confessed to knowing about the man's marriage and family."

She's being punished because the other guy is the adulterer?

Trident missile test fails for second time in a row

The UK's nuclear deterrent failed to fire a test missile reportedly landing close to the launch site.
www.bbc.com www.bbc.com

"British tests of Trident missiles are rare, not least because of the cost. Each missile is worth around £17m and the last test in 2016 also ended in failure when the missile veered off course. Test-fired missiles are not armed with their nuclear warheads."

34M quid well spent. You have to be like the North Koreans and launch one every other day to be proficient at it.
 


197M people watched this woman on TikTok? I thought 197M people would take a dump and bury this rubbish than having to listen to her moan about her ex.

It's nearly impossible to find a place to rent. But retirement homes have room to spare

"Brett Sargon and two teammates from his New Zealand curling team wanted to train and compete in Calgary for a few months but were having trouble finding somewhere affordable to stay.

After sharing their situation on social media, Chartwell Colonel Belcher Retirement Residence reached out to propose a 'win-win situation,' he said. The athletes would stay there without having to commit to a year-long lease, and their presence would liven up the place during their stay."

Either New Zealand athletics don't support their athletes very well or Airbnb and the hospitality sector have failed these men.

"The Calgary-based organization is beginning a pilot program that will soon see two post-secondary students move into a retirement home where they'll pay cheap rent in exchange for spending 30 hours a month socializing with seniors, said Paquette. 'I think it's good for both the students and the seniors. They both have different perspectives in life.… And they can learn from each other,' she said."

I hope the 30 hours doesn't involve dealing with insomnia at 4am or going to the toilet in the middle of the night.
 


I have to think some of the older fans must be close to menopause by now.

England and Scotland football fans warned of strength of German beer ahead of Euro 2024

Euro 2024 will kick off on 14 June with around half a million Britons expected to travel to Germany - and the Foreign Office is warning people not to get too drunk.
news.sky.com news.sky.com

"The average strength of lager and ale in the UK is around 4.4%, according to Drinkware - but in Germany, beers are often 4.7% to 5.4%."

Because English and Scottish stomachs can't take the potent power of German beer.

A Latina Harvard grad advised women to marry older men. The internet had thoughts.

A Cuban American writer goes viral with her views in “The Case for Marrying an Older Man,” which many on social media said was about marrying someone who was rich.
www.nbcnews.com www.nbcnews.com

“'My husband isn’t my partner. He’s my mentor, my lover, and, only in certain contexts, my friend,' she writes. 'I’ll never forget it, how he showed me around our first place like he was introducing me to myself. This is the wine you’ll drink, where you’ll keep your clothes, we vacation here; this is the other language we’ll speak, you’ll learn it and I did.'"

Christie, now 27, writes that she enjoys time 'to read, to walk central London and Miami and think in delicious circles.'

There is, Christie writes, a downside to her monied existence: 'I live in an apartment whose rent he pays and that shapes the freedom with which I can ever be angry with him. He doesn’t have to hold it over my head, it just floats there, complicating usual shorthands to explain dissatisfaction.'

By marrying so young — although as many social media users pointed out, her husband is only 10 years older — Christie was able to leave a 'lucrative but deadening spreadsheet job to write full-time, without having to live like a writer.'"

Is this new news? Gold diggers exist at every age group.

Although being 10 years older than her I don't know what language and wine a 30 year old man has perfected to preach to 20 year olds.
