Mariés depuis 2 ans, Mary-Kate Olsen et Olivier Sarkozy, le petit frère de Nicolas Sarkozy, codirigeant du groupe d’investissement américain Carlyle forment un couple discret, peu enclin à se livrer sur leur couple dans les médias. Cependant une petite phrase de Carla Bruni a suscité l’intérêt sur leur histoire. Le mariage de l’actrice de La Fête à la maison Mary-Kate Olsen et de l’homme d’affaires qui fut codirigeant du groupe d’investissement américain Carlyle Olivier Sarkozy en 2015 avait pu surprendre. Force est de constater que 2 ans après, les tourtereaux continuent leur lune de miel. C’est en tout cas ce qu’a rapporté leur belle-soeur Carla Bruni à la télévision américaine.…

Police used tear gas briefly Wednesday during confrontations with protesters, after what had begun as a largely peaceful event. ### They said “thugs” had thrown bricks and petrol bombs, set fires, and damaged banks and shops during the demonstration. ### The police added that the actions “seriously endangered the safety of the people present” and had negotiated with the organizers — Civil Rights Front — to end the rally in Victoria Park. ### Five males — the youngest aged 13 — were arrested along the protest route for possession of weapons including “extendable batons, hammers, spanners and knuckle dusters,” police said. ### However, organizers condemned officers for “forcing” them to…

Matt Kraemer posted on Facebook that he and his partner were diving for paua — a type of abalone — on Friday when they encountered a “particularly aggressive” sea lion with “lion-sized jaws.” ### “It actually climbed out of the water and threatened to attack on the beach,” Kraemer, who lives in the South Island city of Dunedin, said in the Facebook post. “I had to stab it with a spear to defend my terrified dive buddy! ### “This was no ordinary playful sea lion. I poked it lots of times with no effect, it needed a stab. It will live.” ### Kraemer’s partner, Jo Kraemer, told CNN that the…

He’s not welcome in the country. He can’t even phone his mother. She said it was better if he didn’t, because every time he did, police would show up at her door. ### So, when Elkun’s father died in 2017, there was no way he could go back to China for the burial. To be closer to his family, he would view his father’s grave on Google Earth. ### “I know exactly where his tomb is,” Elkun told CNN in his north London home. “When I was a kid we would go there, pray at the mosque, visit our relatives. The entire community was connected to that graveyard.” ### He…

The gang-rape and murder of a woman in the southern city of Hyderabad earlier this month gave rise to protests across the country. The chanting crowds reflected uproar seen in 2012, after the notorious gang-rape and murder of a student in the capital, New Delhi. ### Protests have become a cornerstone of India’s response to such attacks, often demanding stricter laws or even the death penalty for rapists. Some protesters also pledged kinship with the latest victim, holding up banners that described her as the nation’s “daughter.” ### But cultural values held behind the closed doors of family homes are a part of the problem that is being protested against:…

Lionel Messi stunned locals in his native Argentina after training in a public gym as he looks to keep fit over the festive season.  Currently on a break with Barcelona’s next game not until Jan. 4 against Espanyol, Messi was spotted working out back home on New Year’s Eve.

All 12 of the quarterbacks in the 2020 NFL playoffs have something to prove.   Whether it’s a six-time Super Bowl winner like 42-year-old Tom Brady, an electrifying probable first-time MVP in 22-year-old Lamar Jackson or any of the quarterbacks in between, a championship would silence the critics. Seven of the quarterbacks in this year’s playoff field have yet to win a playoff game. Here are those quarterbacks, sorted by age from youngest to oldest: QBs AGE MVP PLAYOFFS SUPER BOWL Lamar Jackson 22 0 0-1 0-0 Josh Allen 23 0 0-0 0-0 Deshaun Watson 24 0 0-1 0-0 Patrick Mahomes 24 1 1-1 0-0 Carson Wentz 27 0 0-0 0-0 Jimmy Garoppolo…

Now that the 2019 NFL season is complete, and most of the head coaches have been fired, we know which teams are eligible to appear on HBO’s “Hard Knocks.” Last year we watched the Raiders as the team deteriorated before our very eyes with the Antonio Brown drama and everything that came with it. We’d expect less theatrics in 2020, but it should still be quality television. NFL ‘Hard Knocks’ eligibility qualifications Technically, any team can appear on “Hard Knocks” if they volunteer. But it’s extremely unlikely that happens. So the NFL made a rule change in 2013 that allowed itself to force a team to appear on the show, as long…

The NFL’s 100th regular season is finished, and with it, there is plenty of evidence to conclude there was a curse associated with the ‘NFL 100’ commercial. The star-studded ad that made its debut during Super Bowl 53 was unforgettable, packed with Hall of Fame legends. Unfortunately, all the game’s current superstars who appeared in the ad saw their 2019 seasons jinxed in some way, either personally or for their team. MORE: Updated Super Bowl 54 odds With the 2020 playoffs here, there are only 12 teams left standing with a chance to be champions of the NFL’s 100th season in Super Bowl 54. Based on the cursed commercial, it’s only logical everything…

The Crimson Tide responded well to missing the College Football Playoff for the first time, but there are even more questions heading into Nick Saban’s 14th season with the Crimson Tide. Those questions range from the Crimson Tide’s 2020 schedule, which players return for their senior season or leave for the NFL draft and what the coaching staff looks like heading into the next decade.
