You can’t miss them. In fact, of the 1.1million people that have entered the ballot for the 2026 London Marathon next April, more than a third of UK entries are between 18-29-years-old. For many young people, the itch to pound the pavement formed in the first Covid-19 lockdown spurned on by the “Run for Heroes” campaign that saw hundreds of thousands of people run five kilometers, donate £5 to the NHS and challenge five friends to join in. …

“We played a game where you had to stay awake for 24 hours and one day the lads put a shot of tequila on every single bin on the beach for 500 metres — so 10 bins, 10 shots of tequila. You had to sprint to the first bin, gulp down the shot, sprint back. Then sprint to the second bin, down the shot, sprint back, and so on. Run, drink, run, repeat. Once, I tried to hurdle a sun-lounger, hit the top of it and went sprawling face down in the sand.” That quote is either an extract from the Council document register or former Premier League footballer Keiron Dyer’s account of his time in the resort town. Hopefully the leaders enjoy their time in Cyprus, but what a shame that Orbán — who is still Hungary’s prime minister — didn’t show up to ruin the whole thing (again!). He would have had the perfect opportunity to play spoiler; sitting at the dining table, heckling, getting wasted on zivania and throwing chicken bones at French …

Gen Z Woman Against Grandmacore Lifestyle Tells Her Generation To Get To The Club

Published by Jenni Sidey

Gen Z is completely redefining what it means to party. The rise of “grandmacore” on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram shows Gen Z adults are choosing to spend their nights tucked into bed reading or curling up on the couch to watch a movie. It’s a far cry from generations past who wouldn’t think of passing up an opportunity to hit the bars and clubs. However, a young woman recently shared a TikTok video urging Gen Z to reconsider “grandmacore” altogether, saying they should be embracing their 20s rather than rotting away on the couch every single night. A Gen Z woman against the ‘grandmacore’ lifestyle tells her generation to get to the club. “If I see one more video about how we should be more ‘grandmacore’ in our 20s when we should be at the club, I will lose it. We’re 22. We don’t need Botox and bedtime. We need three dirty martinis and a dance floor,” The Gen Zer insisted in her video. In an essay for The Atlantic titled “Americans …

In his new memoir, The Guy You Loved to Hate: Confessions from a Reality TV Villain, which hit shelves Tuesday, The Hills star wrote about needing money for a trip to Brazil, where he planned to spend a month competing in jiujitsu and shooting an indie film. That’s how he hatched the plan to swipe photos of Full House star Mary-Kate Olsen from his friend Max Winkler — son of Happy Days’ Henry Winkler — to sell to the press. Pratt wrote that the younger Winkler had a “photo shrine to his ex” in his bedroom from their short-lived relationship in the early 2000s. “It was 2004, the golden age of tabloid voyeurism. One exclusive — ‘Mary-Kate’s Teen Romance!’ — could fund my entire Brazilian expedition,” …

Algorithms had a hard time figuring out what famous face to focus on. Maybe it served up a TikTok of Miles Teller, Chord Overstreet, and Glen Powell dancing up a storm underneath neon-lit palm-tree lights posted by Teller’s wife, Keleigh. Or maybe you scrolled past Nina Dobrev on Instagram, looking amazing post–Shaun White breakup with toned arms thrown up on a stage under those same neon-lit palm trees. Or maybe—okay, definitely—it was footage of Alix Earle cozying up with seven-ring Super Bowl champion Tom Brady by those same goddamn palm trees, which was nearly inescapable on every single social platform and gossip site there is. (Weeks earlier, his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen privately wed Joaquim Valente in Florida. Also weeks earlier, Earle announced her breakup with her longtime boyfriend, Braxton Berrios of the Houston Texans. It was the perfect storm of intrigue. The gossip account Deuxmoi even pinned the Earle-Brady video to the top of its TikTok page.) Where the hell were all these celebrities? For a certain sceney jet set—the kind that flock to the …
