EXPOSED: Miley Cyrus kisses Kaitlynn Carter on holiday in lake Como after splitting from husband Liam Hemsworth

MILEY Cyrus and Brody Jenner's ex Kaitlynn Carter couldn't take their hands off each other after the singer split from Liam Hemsworth.

Miley, 26, married actor Liam in December while Kaitlynn, 30, wed Kylie Jenner's half-brother in Indonesia last summer.

Now it seems the women have moved on as sensational pictures show them kissing and cuddling on holiday in Lake Como, Italy, over the weekend.

The pair lay sprawled on a mattress overlooking the lake and their legs were entwined as they snogged and canoodled in the sizzling heat.

The women were inseparable for the rest of the afternoon, frolicking in their private pool not far from where George Clooney owns a £26 million mansion.

Miley wore a black bikini and sunglasses as Kaitlynn contrasted her dressed in white and with a straw hat.

Met Police ‘poster girl’ faces sack for ‘having sex’ on Nigerian Big Brother after being told not to take part #BBNNaija #BBNaija2019

 

POLICE poster girl Khafi Kareem defied her bosses to appear in a series of steamy romps on TV.

The PC, who once stood alongside Met Commissioner Cressida Dick to promote female and black recruitment, was told not to take part in Nigeria’s Big Brother.

But the 29-year-old had already been granted unpaid leave and joined the show, where she has romped three times with businessman Ekpata Gedoni, 31.

Their romance has viewers gripped but she is facing an investigation by the Met’s Directorate of Professional Standards.

One colleague said: “She’s a serving British police officer — it’s outrageous. She asked permission to go on the show but, when her request was refused, she went anyway.

“Her out-of-office email reply blatantly says that she is away from work, yet no one does anything.

“Other officers working with her are furious that she can just disobey orders then swan off the Africa and tarnish the reputation of the force.”

Former bit-part actress and shop assistant Khafi joined the Met as a PC based at Lambeth station in 2015 after working part-time as a special constable for four years.

She was inspired to sign up after a 16-year-old pal was stabbed to death but has spoken out against police stop-and-search tactics.

Jeffrey Epstein’s ‘teen sex slave’ appears to attend Naomi Campbell’s VIP birthday with paedo in disturbing new pics

NEWLY unearthed photos appear to show one of Jeffrey Epstein's alleged sex slaves attending Naomi Campbell’s glitzy birthday party in St Tropez.

The disturbing snaps show a young blonde teenage girl - thought to be Virginia Roberts - being paraded at the glam French Riviera bash in 2001.

Representatives for Campbell denied she was close friends with Epstein - and said that he had only been invited to her birthday party by her then boyfriend, Flavio Briatore.

There is no suggestion the supermodel or her guests knew who Ms Roberts was - nor had any knowledge of Epstein's behaviour.

In the pics, the girl can even be seen wearing the same style of cropped white top and multicoloured trousers worn by Roberts in her infamous photo with Prince Andrew.

In that 2001 snap, the Duke of York grins as he grasps then-17-year-old Ms Roberts by her bare midriff at the home of Brit socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.

It was there that Ms Roberts claims Epstein "lent" her out to have sex with the royal - which he has vehemently denied.

Ms Maxwell - paedo billionaire Epstein's alleged "madam" - can also be seen in the bombshell pics from the exclusive St Tropez event.

9 strategies and tactics to outsmart the Instagram algorithm

Based on what we know about how the algorithm works and what we’ve seen firsthand at Sprout, growing your reach and engagement is possible in the face of the algorithm.

Below is a snapshot of the strategies and tactics you should employ if you want to guarantee that more people see your content.

1. Step up your photo quality
According to Instagram themselves, ranking higher in your followers’ feeds goes hand in hand with creating “great content.”

No-brainer, right? Except what constitutes “good content” is in the eye of the beholder and doesn’t give us many specifics.

Regardless, there’s no denying that the most-liked and shared content on Instagram is oftentimes visually striking.

Bold colors. Breathtaking landscapes. The sort of stuff that gets people to stop in their tracks and smash “Like.”

If you’re already creating eye-popping content, you’re ahead of the curve.

And if not, you may want to think about producing some professional visuals from time to time. Even if you’re in a seemingly “boring” industry, high-quality photos are an expectation rather than an exception to the rule.

Also, consider that there are tons of Instagram apps out there like VSCO which can give your imagery a more professional vibe on a budget.

How has the Instagram algorithm changed in 2019?

We need to talk about the Instagram algorithm.

And if just seeing the word “algorithm” freaks you out, we get it.

Many brands were absolutely rocked by the 2018 Facebook algorithm update that resulted in a nosedive of organic reach.

Meanwhile, you may have noticed that your Instagram content hasn’t scored the same engagement as it did in the past.

This has rightfully left brands wondering: what’s the heck is going on with the Instagram algorithm? Are we going to see a repeat of last year’s Facebook frenzy?

In this guide, we’ll break down the state of the Instagram algorithm as we know it. We’ll likewise dive into some specific strategies and tactics to ensure that you’re maximizing your organic reach as the algorithm continues to

To better understand the present day Instagram algorithm, let’s turn back the clock.

NASA's First Planetary Defense Technology Demonstration to Collide with Asteroid in 2022

The Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) – NASA’s first mission to demonstrate a planetary defense technique – will get one chance to hit its target, the small moonlet in the binary asteroid system Didymos. The asteroid poses no threat to Earth and is an ideal test target: measuring the change in how the smaller asteroid orbits about the larger asteroid in a binary system is much easier than observing the change in a single asteroid's orbit around the Sun. Work is ramping up at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland, and other locations across the country, as the mission heads toward its summer 2021 launch – and attempts to pull off a feat so far seen only in science fiction films.

Observing Didymos

To navigate the DART spacecraft to its intended target – a binary asteroid that consists of a small moon (Didymos B) orbiting a larger body (Didymos A) – scientists need to understand how the system behaves. Scientists have been making efforts to observe Didymos from Earth since 2015, and now, an international campaign coordinated by Northern Arizona University’s Cristina Thomas, DART’s Observing Working Group Lead, is making critical observations using powerful telescopes worldwide to understand the state of the asteroid system before DART reaches it. Current observations will help researchers to better understand the extent of the impact made when DART slams into its target – Didymos B – in September 2022.

The most recent observation campaign took place on Cerro Paranal in northern Chile, where scientists viewed Didymos using the Very Large Telescope, which is run by the European Southern Observatory. The “VLT” comprises four telescopes, each with 8.2-meter mirrors; two of them were used in the recent observations.

Epstein abuse probe steadfast despite his death

The FBI and the Justice Department's inspector general's office will investigate how Jeffrey Epstein died in an apparent suicide Saturday, while the probe into sexual abuse allegations against the well-connected financier remains ongoing, officials said.

Epstein, accused of orchestrating a sex-trafficking ring and sexually abusing dozens of underage girls, had been taken off suicide watch before he killed himself in a New York jail, a person familiar with the matter said.

Attorney General William Barr, in announcing the investigation, said he was "appalled" to learn of Epstein's death while in federal custody.

"Mr. Epstein's death raises serious questions that must be answered," Barr said in a statement.

Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell Saturday morning at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Fire officials received a call at 6:39 a.m. Saturday that Epstein was in cardiac arrest, and he was pronounced dead at New York Presbyterian-Lower Manhattan Hospital.

Epstein, 66, had been denied bail and faced up to 45 years behind bars on federal sex trafficking and conspiracy charges unsealed last month. He had pleaded not guilty and was awaiting trial.

The federal investigation into the allegations remains steadfast, U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman said. He noted in a statement Saturday that the indictment against Epstein includes a conspiracy charge, suggesting others could face charges in the case.

Epstein had been placed on suicide watch and given daily psychiatric evaluations after an incident a little over two weeks ago in which he was found with bruising on his neck, according to the person familiar with the matter who wasn't authorized to discuss it publicly. It hasn't been confirmed whether the injury was self-inflicted or the result of an assault.

Jeffrey Epstein, accused sex trafficker, dies by suicide: Officials

Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced millionaire who was facing federal sex trafficking charges, died by suicide early Saturday in his Lower Manhattan prison cell, law enforcement sources and the Bureau of Prisons confirmed to 3m360 News.

Epstein hanged himself, the sources said.

He was found unresponsive in his cell at Metropolitan Correctional Center around 6:30 a.m., the Bureau of Prisons said. He transported in cardiac arrest to New York Downtown Hospital at 6:39 a.m., according to sources.

(MORE: The rise and fall of Jeffrey Epstein: A timeline of the financier's legal troubles)

Epstein, 66, was set to stand trial next year for allegedly sexually abusing dozens of girls in New York and Florida.


His death came less than three weeks after he was found unresponsive in his cell at the federal prison in Lower Manhattan, with marks on his neck that appeared to be self-inflicted, sources told 3m360 News. He was placed on suicide watch following the July 23 incident, but was not on suicide watch at the time of his death.

Epstein was arrested in July for alleged sex trafficking of girls at his Upper East Side mansion and his home in Palm Beach, Florida. Some of the charges date back to the early 2000s.

Epstein pleaded not guilty to the charges. He faced up to 45 years in prison if convicted.

Following news of his death, his alleged victims condemned his suicide and what they described as a lack of justice for them and other accusers.

"I am extremely mad and hurt thinking he once again thought he was above us and took the easy way out ... I still can't wrap my head around the fact that's really true," Jena-Lisa Jones, 30, an alleged victim of Epstein when she was 14 in Florida, said in a statement. "God will have his judgement now."

Jennifer Araoz, 32, who claimed that Epstein raped her when she was 14, called on authorities to "pursue and prosecute his accomplices and enablers.

From Charlie Gard to separating conjoined twins: the agony of life and death decisions on the hospital frontline

The sort of impossible ethical dilemma thrown up at the start of a new BBC documentary on Great Ormond Street Hospital aired tonight, is something to which Dr Joe Brierley has become well-accustomed.

The programme follows a set of conjoined twins, Marieme and Ndeye, who have defied all medical expectations to survive to two-and-a-half-years-old. The twins are conjoined in a certain way meaning they have shared circulation but separate hearts and lungs. While Ndeye’s vital organs are healthy, Marieme’s heart is desperately weak. If she dies, her stronger sister will die with her.

As their health deteriorates the hospital – and their father, Ibrahima – are forced to discuss whether or not they should operate to separate them: perhaps prolonging one twin's life but almost certainly ending another.

As chairman of the hospital’s ethics committee, Dr Brierley, a consultant in paediatric intensive care, leads a series of discussions with colleagues and the father of the girls to determine the best way forward. It is tense, painful viewing as they consider an effective death sentence.

“As a father, how do you get your head around the fact people are even thinking like that?” says Dr Brierley, 50, himself a father of four children, one of whom has suffered their own health complications. “If a decision like this doesn’t weigh on your mind you’re in the wrong job.”

Black women on Twitter drag A$AP Rocky after old photos of him partying with White girls resurfaced

A photo was circulated online shortly after A$AP Rocky was released from prison and it was claimed that the rapper was pictured partying with some white girls shortly after regaining freedom. This angered black women and they took to Twitter to drag him.

The rapper who was locked up in jail in Sweden and faced trial for assault charges, was freed on Friday and he returned to the US on Saturday.

Boy 'Thrown' From 10th Floor Of Tate Modern Now In Stable Condition

The six-year-old boy who is believed to have been thrown from the 10th floor of the Tate Modern art gallery in London is now in a stable condition, police have said.

The child had fallen onto a fifth floor roof after dropping from the viewing platform yesterday afternoon (4 August).

He was airlifted to hospital, where his condition was initially described as critical.

However, the Met Police have now said that the child is 'no longer in a life threatening situation,' and that he is critical but stable.

They added that the 17-year-old boy arrested on suspicion of attempted murder remains in police custody.

"Enquiries are ongoing," the statement said.

People Watch Sea Turn Red As 23 Whales Are Killed On Faroe Islands

The pilot whales had been slaughtered for their meat and blubber, while an unborn calf had also been cut from the womb of its dead mother.

People, including young children, could be seen looking on at the bloody animals on the dockside, with many stopping to snap the dead mammals lying just metres away.

The killings are a centuries-old tradition on the Faroe Islands, known locally as a 'grind' or 'grindadrap'. It apparently helps feed the population of the remote Atlantic community over winter.

But while the Faroese claim the practice is both sustainable and regulated by law, campaign groups say it is inhumane and are calling for such hunts for banned.

Charity Sea Shepherd UK documented the killing on Friday 2 August in the bay of Hvalvik, saying this is the 10th whale hunt on the Faroe Islands this year - with 536 pilot whales slaughtered in total.

In September 2018, the charity offered the Faroe Islands €1m (£920,000; $1.1m) for 10 consecutive years with no whale hunts.
A spokesman for the campaign group said: "Over the course of the lengthy drive more and more members of the public and tourists could be seen stopping along the coastline to watch the family of pilot whales struggle and resist.

"As is often the case, the grind was swiftly becoming a social event, with parents laughing and chatting as children played on the killing beach.

Man who was circumcised in hospital mix-up awarded $24,000 compensation

A man who was mistakenly circumcised in a hospital mix-up has been awarded compensation, the hospital said.

Terry Brazier, aged 70, went into Leicester Royal Infirmary for a bladder procedure known as a cystoscopy but was mistaken for another patient by hospital staff and circumcised.
The hospital apologized and carried out an investigation, before confirming on Monday it had awarded Brazier a £20,000 ($24,300) payout.

Brazier told the British newspaper the Daily Star that he was so distracted talking to hospital staff that he didn't notice he was getting the incorrect procedure until it was too late.
"They didn't know what to say when they found out they'd done it, they said they can't send me back to the ward and they needed to talk to me," he told the newspaper.

Flights canceled, major roads blocked as Hong Kong protests escalate

A huge day of protests: People are striking and protesting across seven districts of Hong Kong in the most ambitious and wide-ranging day of demonstrations this summer.
Strikes across all sectors: With strikers including teachers, aviation workers, finance employees and civil servants, major sectors of the Asian financial hub are likely to screech to a halt today.
Tear gas fired: Riot police have fired tear gas at five different locations, as clashes with protesters intensify.
Summer of discontent: This is Hong Kong's ninth consecutive week of protests. They started in early June over a now-suspended extradition bill, but demands have evolved to include greater democracy and police accountability.

Brazil gang leader dresses up as daughter in jail escape bid

 

A Brazilian gang leader tried to escape from prison by dressing up as his daughter when she visited him behind bars and walking out the penitentiary's main door in her place, authorities said Sunday.

But prison officials said the nervousness displayed by Clauvino da Silva, also known as "Shorty," as he tried to leave the prison in the western part of Rio de Janeiro dressed as a woman gave him away.

His plan was apparently to leave his 19-year-old daughter inside the jail. Police are looking into her possible role as an accomplice in Saturday's failed escape attempt from Gericinó prison.

AI breast cancer diagnostic tool Gets FDA clearance

There are few things in life more frightening than a possible cancer diagnosis. Now the machines are here to help. Paragon Biosciences and Qlarity Imaging have figured out a way to harness the power of artificial intelligence to help humans catch cancer earlier and more accurately.

QuantX recently became the first-ever computer-aided breast cancer diagnosis system cleared by the FDA for use in radiology, but it’s not putting radiologists out of a job any time soon. “Radiology is the backbone of diagnosing many diseases today,” said Jeffrey Aronin, chairman and CEO of Paragon Biosciences. “We believe the future is radiologists with technology.”

The combination of humans and machines apparently works really well. In a clinical study, QuantX helped radiologists interpret MRIs, noting the differences between cancerous and noncancerous breast lesions. Using the AI-fueled software led to a 39% reduction in missed breast cancers, as well as a 20% overall diagnostic improvement. It’s a win for the machine age as well as for women anxiously awaiting the results of their breast MRIs. (Currently, the technology is just for women who require a breast MRI, typically used for women with a higher than average risk of breast cancer.)

‘Hobbs & Shaw’ Review: Dwayne Johnson vs. Jason Statham in the Summer’s Best Guilty Pleasure

The world is a scary and confusing place, but at least we have Dwayne Johnson looming over Jason Statham and describing their encounters as akin to “dragging my balls across shattered glass.” With “Hobbs & Shaw,” the “Fast and the Furious” franchise spins off two of its most outrageous action studs into a standalone buddy movie in which they resist every opportunity to buddy up. As special agents forced to team up against their will, the beefy Luke Hobbs (Johnson) and slippery Deckard Shaw (Statham) trade barbs with such virtuosity they outshine everything around them.

Overloaded with hit-or-miss action sequences, a half-baked supervillain, and paint-by-numbers plotting about a virus with the potential to destroy the world, “Hobbs & Shaw” often struggles to surmount the low bar of today’s blockbuster standards. But at the center of it, Johnson and Statham inhabit a higher plane, with such alluring chemistry as their hatred pulls them together it’s a wonder they don’t just get a room. Strip away the meandering exposition and “Hobbs & Show” operates like an old-school screwball comedy that just happens to revolve around two of the biggest action stars working today.

Mac Miller Fans Remember Singer on First Anniversary of ‘Swimming’ Album

It’s been one year since Mac Miller released “Swimming,” the last album of the hip-hop artist’s short-lived life. But while the 26-year-old may be gone, he has not been forgotten. Fans across the world took to Twitter to celebrate the album and highlight the impact Miller had on their personal lives. Released on Aug. 3, 2018, “Swimming” was a 13-track album that seemingly detailed the singer’s struggle with heartbreak, mental health and drug addiction.

Released several months after his break up with singer Ariana Grande went public, the album was distributed by REMember Music and Warner Records. The production of the album was handled by a collection of artists, including Miller, J. Cole, Dev Hynes and Snoop Dogg.

How glasses have shaped Todays Physiological Perception

Know that old “first impressions” saying? When you see a wearer of glasses walk into a room, superficial judgments begin formulating. “Really wearing glasses is like cosmetic surgery without the knife – it immediately changes how your character is represented and all the more so because they’re located at the most important part of the body in terms of non-verbal communication. A 2013 study found that, all other things being equal, job hunters were more likely to get hired if they wore glasses to their interview. “The connection between glasses and intellectualism is unconscious and metaphoric,” says Cary Cooper, professor of occupational psychology at Lancaster University.

‘Jack Ryan’ Season 2 Teaser Promises Plenty of Rooftop Running Action

Just watching Amazon’s teaser trailer for Season 2 of “Jack Ryan” might make you out of breath — imagine how John Krasinski feels.

Amazon Prime Video released the sneak peek for the second season of “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan” during its busy Saturday morning at the Television Critics Association press tour.

Here’s how Amazon says the sophomore run — pun only kind of intended — will go down:

In the second season of “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan,” after tracking a potentially suspicious shipment of illegal arms in the Venezuelan jungle, CIA Officer Jack Ryan, portrayed by John Krasinski (“A Quiet Place”), heads down to South America to investigate.

As Jack’s investigation threatens to uncover a far-reaching conspiracy, the President of Venezuela launches a counter-attack that hits home for Jack, leading him and his fellow operatives on a global mission spanning the United States, UK, Russia, and Venezuela to unravel the President’s nefarious plot and bring stability to a country on the brink of chaos.

Giant dinosaur bone found in southwestern France

The thigh bone of a giant dinosaur was found this week by French paleontologists at an excavation site in southwestern France where remains of some of the largest animals that ever lived on land have been dug up since 2010.

The two-meter long femur at the Angeac-Charente site is thought to have belonged to a sauropod, herbivorous dinosaurs with long necks and tails which were widespread in the late Jurassic era, over 140 million years ago.

US financier Epstein found injured in cell after possible suicide attempt

Disgraced US financier Jeffrey Epstein, who is accused of trafficking underage girls for sex, was found unconscious in his New York jail cell after a possible suicide attempt, US media reported Thursday.

Epstein -- a convicted pedophile -- was discovered on Tuesday at a federal jail with marks on his neck, anonymous law enforcement sources told multiple media outlets including The New York Times.

The 66-year-old, who has befriended countless celebrities and politicians over the years, was taken from the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan to hospital and the injuries are not believed to be serious, media reports said.

Guards are also investigating whether Epstein was the victim of a possible assault -- or if he injured himself in a bid to be transferred out of the jail -- as they piece together what happened.

Prison officials, lawyers for Epstein, and prosecutors were not immediately available for comment when contacted by us,

The wealthy hedge fund manager was denied bail last week after appearing at a New York court charged with one count of sex trafficking of minors and one count of conspiracy to commit sex trafficking of minors.

Russian suspect in $4B Bitcoin fraud is sued in California; US, Russia seek his extradition from Greece

A Russian suspect linked to a $4 billion Bitcoin fraud case -- whose extradition from Greece is sought by U.S. authorities -- has now been hit with a civil lawsuit in California.

The U.S. is after Alexander Vinnik and his digital currency exchange company, BTC-e, over his alleged role in the fraud case.

Federal prosecutors charged him in 2017 with stealing Bitcoins from other virtual exchanges. U.S. authorities now seek to recover penalties of $100 million from Vinnik and his company, Bloomberg reported.

According to a prosecutors’ statement, Vinnik’s company is incorporated in Cyprus, or the Seychelles, or even both. Californian users, in addition to users from other places, used the exchange to trade Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies

Vinnik remains detained in Greece as he continues to fight the U.S. extradition request. Russia, meanwhile, is also seeking his extradition, with Vinnik’s lawyers saying in 2017 that he wouldn’t contest the Russian request.

UK-Based Nigerian Student Drowns In River Thames

A 23-year-old UK-based Nigerian student has lost his life.

According to reports, the young man who has been identified as Jonathan Adebanjo drowned in River Thames on Tuesday evening.

The deceased had gone to the river with friends at Shadwell Basin.

Jonathan had gone out to swim due to the extremely hot weather.

The Nigerian art student was among the three who drowned in the Thames in three hours after a 47-year-old swimmer died in Kingston and another person vanished in the water at Waterloo Bridge.

The deceased’s sister, Tundun, 22, said:

Ransomware is a 'best seller' on underground hacker forums

Ransomware is a hit with hackers, according to a new study.

In the study “Bestsellers in the Underground Economy: Measuring Malware Popularity by Forum,” Recorded Future’s Insikt Group analyzed over 3.9 million posts about malware from underground forums on the dark and open web during a 12 month period ending in May of this year.

Ransomware ranked as the top malware category mentioned in the forums. “We believe this reflects a growing number of low-level actors developing and sharing generic ransomware on underground forums,” Recorded Future said in the study.

The study also noted that most ransomware requires "an exploit kit, phishing email, or brute-forced credentials, to install the malware on a victim host before it can be run."

In the U.S. this year ransomware has proved to be an effective tool for extracting money from cities and counties, as underscored in a report in Thursday’s Wall Street Journal.

For example, LaPorte County in Indiana paid attackers approximately $130,000 while Lake City, Florida paid out about $460,000 to unlock government data after the “Ryuk” attacks -- though both attacks were covered mostly by insurance. And Baltimore was hit by a devastating ransomware attack.

Louisiana policemen fired over Facebook post suggesting Ocasio-Cortez be shot

A Louisiana policeman who suggested on Facebook that high-profile U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez needed to be shot was fired on Monday, along with a second officer who "liked" his post.

Officers Charles Rispoli, a 14-year veteran of the Gretna Police Department who made the social media comment on Thursday, and Angelo Varisco, who "liked" it, were terminated following a swift internal investigation, Chief Arthur Lawson told a news conference.

"This incident we feel has been an embarrassment to our department. These officers acted in a manner which was unprofessional, alluding to a violent act to be conducted a sitting U.S. congresswoman," Lawson said.

He said an internal investigation had found that both men were in violation of the police department's social media policy, on which they had been trained. The department would consider further instruction on the issue for the rest of its employees, Lawson said.

The incident came just days after U.S. President Donald Trump touched off a furore by tweeting that Ocasio-Cortez and three of her colleagues in Congress, all women of colour, should "go back" where they came from if they were unhappy in the United States.

‘The Lion King’ Review: Disney’s Remake Is a Disastrous Plunge into the Uncanny Valley

Unfolding like the world’s longest and least convincing deepfake, Jon Favreau’s (almost) photorealistic remake of “The Lion King” is meant to represent the next step in Disney’s circle of life. Instead, this soulless chimera of a film comes off as little more than a glorified tech demo from a greedy conglomerate — a well-rendered but creatively bankrupt self-portrait of a movie studio eating its own tail.

With the possible exception of 2015’s “Cinderella,” which was touched with just enough magic to feel like a new wrinkle on an old fairy tale, all of Disney’s live-action rehashes have been faint echoes of their animated predecessors. But “The Lion King” isn’t an echo, it’s a stain. This zombified digital clone of the studio’s first original cartoon feature is the Disney equivalent of Gus Van Sant’s “Psycho.”

Unlike the rest of the Disney’s latest rehashes, “The Lion King” isn’t live-action: Favreau, who previously inched towards this same technological asymptote with his playful update of “The Jungle Book” in 2016, has made a fully animated film working overtime to disguise itself as an episode of “Planet Earth.”

Marvel to Release ‘Black Widow’ Starring Scarlett Johansson in May 2020

Saturday night at Comic-Con 2019, Marvel Studios revealed its “Black Widow” solo film starring Scarlett Johansson will be released on May 1, 2020. The film also stars Florence Pugh, David Harbour and Rachel Weisz.

Johansson’s Black Widow is a spy and an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. She debuted in Marvel’s “Iron Man 2” and has since appeared in all three “Avengers” films, as well as “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” and “Captain America: Civil War” as a core member of the superhero team.

Complicating the solo film is, of course, the fact that the character died, apparently permanently, in “Avengers: Endgame.” In the film, she and Hawkeye traveled to Vormir to acquire the Soul Infinity Stone, which requires a death in order to be summoned. After a tearful conversation between the two, followed by a melee in which they each competed to die, Black Widow jumped to her death, allowing Hawkeye to take the stone.

Chicago Town Offering One Bride The Chance To Marry In Pizza Wedding Dress

For most people, weddings are all about tradition: the church, the vows, the white dress.

But if you fancy doing something a little different - and dare I say, cheesy - then Chicago Town might have just the package.

The pizza company is running a competition for soon-to-be-weds, with the winners claiming a pizza-based wedding package.

The star attraction of said package is a pizza wedding dress. The dress has a long and elegant train like your typical bridal gown, but instead of being pure and white, it has a highly detailed print of a pepperoni pizza on it, complete with a thick crust trim. Nice.

The dress is paired off with a matching pizza bouquet and the couple will also get a six-tier pizza cake to cut into... Now it doesn't get any more romantic or delicious than that.

If you're wondering what kind of loved-up loons would be interested in such a wedding package, the safe money would suggest it would have to be a couple who eat pizza at least four times a week. However, the competition may also appeal to those who aren't vain but are short on cash, as the wedding package also includes a honeymoon to Chicago. That dress is starting to look a little less hideous now, isn't it?

A spokesman for Chicago Town said the dress was 'loosely modelled on Rihanna's iconic 2018 Met Gala dress,' with 'loosely' clearly the crucial word here.

If your main question is what on earth inspired Chicago Town to run this competition in the first place, the simple answer is: a poll of 2,000 Brits.

Man Exonerated After Serving 20 Years In Prison Thanks To Genetic Genealogy

A man in the US has been exonerated after serving 20 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, thanks to the help of genetic genealogy - a technique that compares unknown DNA evidence to public genetic databases to identify suspects through their family members.

Christopher Tapp was sentenced in 1998 for the rape and murder of Idaho teenager Angie Dodge - despite the fact his DNA did not match evidence found at the crime scene.

Instead, he had been convicted based on a confession he late retracted, along with the theory that multiple people had been involved in the crime.

Decades after proclaiming his innocence - and saying his confession was coerced - Tapp was finally exonerated on Wednesday after genetic genealogy was used to find a new suspect in Dodge's murder.

As he left court, Tapp told reporters: "I hope that things get learned from this mistake and I hope things get changed."

He continued: "I'm glad I was able to come out the other end and still smile and still be happy.

Footage From Cockpit Shows Moment Boeing 737 Crashed Into Pacific Ocean

The video was released by the Papua New Guinea Accident Investigation Commission (PNG AIC) and is taken from the cockpit of an Air Niugini plane that crashed 1,500ft from a runway in Micronesia, Papua New Guinea, last September.

One man was killed in the crash and nine other passengers were injured, with the subsequent investigation finding that the pilots ignored numerous 'pull up' warning lights on their descent.

The report into the crash by the PNG AIC said the captain and first officer ignored a total of 17 audible warnings that they were flying too low.

The report read: "The crew were fixated on the task of landing the aircraft and did not notice the visual PULL UP caution alert at the bottom of their PFD.

"Therefore, they (the crew) did not take any positive action to arrest the high rate of descent and avoid landing in the lagoon. In fact, neither of the pilots were aware of the rapidly unfolding unsafe situation.

"The crew seemed to have disregarded and talked over all the caution annunciations. The crew had experienced those type of cautions on previous flights and perceived them as nuisance alerts with no resultant consequence."

‘Cats’ Trailer Becomes Top Twitter Trend in Reaction to Furry CGI Felines

The “Cats” trailer dropped Thursday afternoon, and Twitter pounced. At the time of this writing, the movie was the top trending topic worldwide on Twitter with over 300,000 tweets. While that’s only a fraction of the record 50 million tweets that “Avengers: Endgame” accrued, it’s still an impressive initial response for a film based on a 38-year-old musical.

If you haven’t seen the trailer yet, the actors in Tom Hooper’s “Cats” all retain their human bodies and faces, but are covered in CGI fur and possess pointy ears and tails. Some viewers found the anthropomorphism unsettling, while others — like star Taylor Swift — were thrilled. Reacting to her transformation into a feline, the singer tweeted, “I am a cat now and somehow that was everything.”

But if you wade through the many memes and reactions to the trailer Thursday, you’ll see people having a hard time finding the right words to express their feelings.

“I don’t know what I expected from ‘Cats” ‘digital fur technology’ but the short answer is NOT this. My brain has melted. My eyes are bleeding. There is no god,” entertainment journalist Kristy Puchko said on Twitter. “Maybe we were too harsh on Sonic.”

Disney's 'The Lion King' Looks to Roar at the Weekend Box Office

After five consecutive weeks wherein the weekend domestic box office failed to top the same weekend from a year prior, this weekend will easily buck the trend. Leading the charge, Disney's latest release, the "live-action" adaptation of The Lion King, is likely to outperform the combined top twelve from the same weekend last year all on its own as it is ushered into over 4,700 domestic locations and all over the world.

With what has been a summer box office season that has seen plenty of films under-perform and miss expectations, Disney is hoping their CGI adaptation of the studio's beloved animated feature The Lion King delivers not only at the domestic box office, but all around the world. The film will launch in a record 4,725 domestic locations this weekend and industry expectations have it pegged for a debut around $175-180 million, which would be enough to top the current July opening record holder Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2, which opened with $169 million back in 2011. A performance in that range would also be the second largest of the year so far behind only Avengers: Endgame ($357.1m) and ahead of Captain Marvel ($153.4m). It would also top Beauty and the Beast, another Disney live-action reimagining, which opened with $174.7 million in March 2017 in 4,210 locations.

Doctors remove 33 objects including razor blades and a screwdriver from the stomach of a 30-year-old man

Doctors in India have removed 33 objects, including razors and knives, from the stomach of a 30-year old man identified as Yogesh Thakur,

Thakur was admitted to the hospital on July 14 after he complained of severe stomach pain.
