Courtney Love Reveals Doctors Told Her She Was Going to Die

Published by Daniella Wilson

Courtney Love is opening up about a serious health crisis she faced after moving to England in 2019, revealing that doctors told her she “was going to die.” On Friday, Love took to Instagram to address questions about her long-awaited solo album. “A lot of you are asking where my record is at. It’s done. It’s kind of been done,” she said. “It’s a really good record. I put a lot into it.” The former Hole frontwoman then revealed that she faced a frightening health battle after moving from Los Angeles to London seven years ago. “When I went there, my body just exploded. It just exploded. And I was in hospitals a lot. I almost died,” Love said. “I lost all my hair. I was about 100 pounds. And they told me I was going to die. I didn’t believe them.” Love explained that her refusal to believe the doctors was connected to a childhood experience. “When I was a kid — I think this record is about this — I used to, like, …

Anne Hathaway Says Films Where Dogs Die Should Be Rated R

Anne Hathaway Says Films Where Dogs Die Should Be Rated R

Published by Daniella Wilson

Anne Hathaway believes that films that include storylines about dogs dying should come with an R rating. In a recent interview with Complex, the Oscar winner admitted she’d seen speculation about the fate of the dog, Starbuck, in The End of Oak Street. “I feel like movies that kill dogs should automatically be rated R. Doesn’t matter if anybody curses, it doesn’t matter if there’s violence, if a dog dies, R-rated,” she said. “Somebody was like, ‘Can you just let the audiences know that, like, it’s all gonna be OK?’ We break rules in this movie, that might not be one of them. Don’t worry,” she continued. “I think everybody’s so traumatized by John Wick, because I’ve been seeing those [comments about The End of Oak Street] too, like, ‘They better not kill the dog.’ She added, “I’m like, which movies are out there killing dogs that everybody’s scared that we’re just casually doing it in movies now?” The End of Oak Street stars Hathaway and Ewan McGregor as parents whose family is suddenly shifted to …

Agent 64: Spies Never Die review – licence to kill time like the 90s never ended | Games

With 007 First Light, 2026 has already given us the best James Bond game in more than three decades, since the release of Rare’s N64 classic GoldenEye 007. But what about those players whose loyalties lie not with the super-spy himself but the particulars of that 90s interpretation of his adventures? Enter Agent 64: Spies Never Die. Made almost entirely by a single developer (who goes by the very cloak-and-dagger alias Replicant D6), its production values couldn’t be much further from the blockbuster First Light. There’s no voice acting, with all dialogue instead delivered via subtitles, while each location on your globe-trotting adventure is depicted by a repeating texture wallpapered over scenery so blocky you can count the individual polygons. Fired up … Agent 64: Spies Never Die. Illustration: Replicant D6 In lieu of any high-budget flash, Agent 64’s big special effect is nostalgia. From the title onwards, this retro shooter is one long homage to GoldenEye, and to its un-Bonded successor, 2000’s Perfect Dark. Enemies have pinched facial features – a result of taking …

At least 2,000 die in DR Congo’s fastest-growing Ebola outbreak on record

At least 2,000 die in DR Congo’s fastest-growing Ebola outbreak on record

Published by Sam Flores

An Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has killed 2,011 people out of 4,381 confirmed cases of the virus, Congolese officials said on Tuesday. The latest toll puts it close behind the DR Congo’s deadliest Ebola outbreak in 2018 to 2020 when nearly 2,300 people died out of 3,500 recorded cases. The Ebola outbreak, which has hit the DR Congo’s conflict-plagued eastern and northeastern regions, was declared on May 15 but is thought to have already been spreading for several weeks. While it took about nine weeks for the outbreak to record the first 1,000 deaths, it’s taken just around three weeks for the figure to double, an evidence that the health crisis is moving faster than efforts to track and manage it. It is the DR Congo’s 17th surge of the highly contagious disease and is already considered the largest in the country’s history “and could well become the largest outbreak ever”, Sania Nishtar, chief executive of the Gavi global vaccine alliance, has said.

Antonio Sempere/AP hide caption toggle caption Antonio Sempere/AP CEUTA, Spain — At least 18 migrants have died trying to reach the Spanish territory of Ceuta after thousands of people breached the frontier with Morocco and poured in. The border crisis boiled over Thursday and overnight. Spain’s state broadcaster RTVE broadcast images of burned cars on the Moroccan side of the border after reported clashes. Rachid Sbihi, who leads a local workers association representing Civil Guard officers called the situation a “serious humanitarian crisis,” saying thousands of migrants, including unaccompanied children, were left sleeping in parks and sidewalks, while others roamed the streets aimlessly. “People are still entering. The reinforcements that have arrived are only helping the injured and other humanitarian efforts,” he said. “It’s chaotic.” Spain’s Ceuta territory is seeing an influx of migrants. Kevin S.
