Tell me if this sounds familiar.

An actress goes to an audition. She wants the part — she likes the part. But, as usual, it’s a female character written by male creators. And she’s troubled that the character’s first scene involves giving a guy a blow job.

Here’s the part of the story we’re not accustomed to hearing: She spoke up about it.

The actress told a room of Hollywood men with the power to deny her the role that she would not play a character who’s introduced to the audience on her knees. Читать дальше...

If you know what those three letters stand for, there's a good chance you grew up on the internet like myself. An internet filled with opportunities to steal your innocence. 

There was something special about the internet of the late '90s and early 2000s that can never, ever be  replicated. It was mysterious, misunderstood, and truly a free place of exploration. Читать дальше...

Ein durch Drogen beeinträchtigter Autofahrer hat am Samstagabend mit seinem Pkw in Wien-Neubau ein Einfahrtstor des ehemaligen Sophienspitals durchbrochen und ist gegen eine Hausmauer jenseits des Innenhofs gekracht. Der 27-Jährige und seine 29 Jahre alte Beifahrerin wurden schwerst verletzt.

Since old Mother Thatcher exiled me to Cornwall's St. Helena, I have, in recent years, found it increasingly difficult, for various reasons, to get up to Brum to watch my beloved Blues whom I regularly followed home and away from 1957 to 1984. Apart from the odd trip to Argyle, in recent years I have been taking my seven year old grandson to Exeter City. This season they are once again in the playoffs at Wembley, against Coventry who they won't beat, but Paul Tisdale is out of contract and has let it be known that if they continue to sell off his best young players at the end of each season then he will be leaving.

Brandy Kraft and Dylan Mittelsted have a few things in common. They’re both 17 years old, work as cashiers at Arlan’s market, and now they both share a trauma teenagers should never experience. “As soon as I get to work it’s head to the restroom bawl my eyes out until I’m ready to put on the work face and make people smile,” a stone-faced Mittelsted said, trying hard to contain his emotions. At the next register, Brandy Kraft tries to smile at the customers, but it has not been easy because she knew some of the 10 victims, killed in the shooting. Читать дальше...

DURBAN - Pictures of the bald-headed woman on magazine covers and newspapers since 2016 do not portray the Vindra Jaickaran Chhoteylal Moodley of today.

Moodley, 49, is to be sentenced in the Durban Commercial Crimes Court next week. She pleaded guilty to 74 counts of fraud involving more than a million rand.

The former IT teacher at Cowan House Preparatory School invoiced the school fraudulently, inflating accounts, between 2013 and 2015, and pocketed the proceeds.

Two years before that, she lied to the school, claiming to have cancer, and accepted sick leave with a full salary.

With less than a week until we head for the polling stations to make a decision on one of the most important issues of our time, how has media coverage around the Eighth Referendum been so far?  With publications wearing their bias like a badge of honour, how has new media contributed to the conversation? Has it aided it, or hampered it? Should all coverage be regulated in order to facilitate healthy debate?  In a referendum that is all about stories, and personal experience, how are the Yes and No sides speaking to each other on the ground, away from the scaremongering posters and extreme tactics?

LONDON – Antonio Conte has warned Chelsea he will never change his demanding ways as the FA Cup winning boss waits to discover if he will be sacked.

Conte ended a troubled season on a high note thanks to Chelsea's 1-0 victory over Manchester United in Saturday's final at Wembley.

Eden Hazard's first half penalty was followed by a backs to the wall display as Conte won the second trophy of his two-year reign in what may prove his final game in charge.

Whether FA Cup glory will be enough to convince Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich not to sack Conte remains in doubt after the Blues finished fifth in the Premier League and missed out on Champions League qualification.

The Italian has been embroiled in a turbulent campaign marred by his feud with the club's hierarchy over their failure to back his transfer plans following last season's Premier League title triumph.

Hawaii - A stream of lava threatened to block a key Hawaii highway on Saturday that serves as an escape route for coastal residents, while the first known serious injury was reported from fresh explosive eruptions from the Kilauea volcano.

could be fight of the year, the patience and skill of Selby v the all-action boom boom of Warrington.

Could go either way. Warrington is relentless and has the advantage of fighting at Elland Rd in front of a huge adoring and passionate crowd, mind you that backfired for Mitchell at West Ham and Brook at Sheff Utd. Selby is a class operator, cagey, hard to hit and very accurate with his own punches.

For all the self belief Selby can show in the ring, he's a nice, humble kid. Читать дальше...

Two months ago, Kote Adi fled Moyale, Ethiopia, after government soldiers there opened fire on civilians, killing at least nine. Kote and his pregnant wife found shelter in a tent in northeastern Kenya’s Dambala Fachana refugee camp, but weeks of heavy rain have displaced them again. “Our plastic shelters were flooded with water,” said Kote Adi, who is settling into a new tent site on higher ground. Hardship and uncertainty haunt him and thousands of others who’ve left Moyale, a market town straddling the border between Ethiopia and Kenya, and its surroundings in Ethiopia’s Oromia region for safety in Kenya.
