Grammy Award-winning country music songwriter Shane McAnally is facing renewed and intensifying criticism after a video emerged showing him and his husband Michael Baum asking their older surrogate children which of the two men is “hornier” — the latest in a string of controversies surrounding the couple’s approach to parenting content on social media. The clip follows weeks of fierce public debate sparked by a separate video in which McAnally filmed his five-month-old son, Texson Ray McAnally Baum, crying and repeatedly saying “mama” after being asked whether he wanted “dada or pop.” Baum was heard responding “no, there is no…

A Rare Breakthrough in a Disease That Offers Little Time For patients diagnosed with bile duct cancer, the prognosis has long been bleak. Cholangiocarcinoma is typically caught late, when surgery is no longer viable, and fewer than one in three people in England survive beyond a year of diagnosis. Treatment options have, until now, been critically limited. That picture shifted this week when the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence gave its approval for zanidatamab — a targeted antibody therapy that, according to clinical trial data, could alter the trajectory of the disease in ways previously thought unlikely. When…

Dozens of British travellers have been stranded at two separate Milan airports within days of each other after the introduction of the European Union’s new biometric border entry system caused delays so severe that flights departed without them. The most recent incident occurred on 16 April, when a Ryanair service from Milan Bergamo to Manchester took off with a number of its passengers still in the passport control queue. Reports suggest around 30 people were left behind, though Ryanair declined to confirm the precise figure. The airline said those affected would have been able to board had they reached the…

Award-winning actress Michaela Coel has said Britain is no longer the destination it once was for West African migrants, describing the country’s recent anti-immigration protests as “quite odd” and speaking openly about finding greater peace in Ghana than in the nation where she was raised. The two-time BAFTA winner, who grew up in east London but now divides her time between the capital and her home in Ghana, made the remarks in an interview with The Sunday Times as she prepares to return to screens in the new BBC series First Day on Earth. Why Britain, Says Coel, Is Losing…

Euphoria’s long-awaited third season has returned to screens after a four-year absence, but rather than a triumphant comeback, the HBO drama has been met with a growing chorus of viewers demanding it be axed — with much of the anger directed at the treatment of Sydney Sweeney’s character. The show, which first aired in 2019 and built its reputation on unflinching portrayals of teenage drug use, sexual content and violence, has always courted controversy. But critics argue that creator Sam Levinson has crossed a line with the new season, with many describing his creative direction as “misogynistic” and “disturbing.” The…

Italian television has once again pushed the boundaries of primetime entertainment after a clip from the finale of comedy variety show Stanno Tutti Invitati went viral across social media, capturing the moment a host got on his knees and drank water poured directly from the foot of celebrity guest Belen Rodríguez. The moment aired on Canale 5 during the closing episode of the show, hosted by the popular comedy duo Pio and Amedeo, who have built a devoted following in Italy through their reputation for irreverent, deliberately provocative humour. Rodríguez, one of Italy’s most recognisable television personalities, appeared as a…

The BBC has confirmed the full cast for the first ever full-length series of Celebrity Apprentice, with twelve familiar faces set to face Lord Sugar across six episodes in a new boardroom located inside a London city skyscraper. Singer Alexandra Burke, Sky News presenter Kay Burley and Emmerdale actor Danny Miller headline a lineup that also includes presenter Gethin Jones, dancer Jordan Banjo, actress Maddie Grace Jepson, TikTok personality Max Balegde, Gladiator Sheli McCoy, UK garage artist DJ Spoony, BBC presenter Richie Anderson, comedian Laura Smyth and Love Island alumna Toni Laites. Each celebrity will be competing on behalf of…

For years, the trade-off felt unavoidable. Consumers who wanted strong, long-lasting hold from a styling gel were expected to accept a product loaded with synthetic fragrances, alcohol, parabens, and a host of other chemical irritants that could wreak havoc on a sensitive scalp. That calculation, it seems, is finally changing. A growing number of hair care brands are reformulating — or building their lines from scratch — around the principle that performance and scalp health need not be mutually exclusive. Dermatologists have long pointed to fragrance as one of the most common triggers for contact dermatitis, scalp irritation, and allergic…

Vogue Williams has spoken publicly for the first time about suffering two miscarriages, revealing that the losses have left her feeling anxious throughout her current pregnancy, despite the joy she and husband Spencer Matthews felt when announcing they were expecting their fourth child together. The presenter shared the news of her pregnancy on Thursday, before speaking at greater length about the journey to get there in a video posted to her YouTube channel. Williams described the two losses as having taken a significant emotional toll, saying there were moments when she felt as though her body had “failed her” —…

Katie Knowles, wife of television presenter Nick Knowles, has disclosed for the first time publicly that she was repeatedly raped by her father throughout her childhood, sharing her account in a video posted to Instagram on Saturday in which she spoke about the dangers faced by women. Katie, 35, who married Nick, 63, last summer, had previously only alluded to a difficult relationship with her father, who died when she was 18. The video, filmed from her car, marked the first time she had addressed the abuse openly beyond a close circle of friends and family. “I have never spoken…
