David Beckham’s subtle jab at Victoria after she removed marriage tattoo dedications

David Beckham showed off his plethora of body art during a recent trip to Miami, days after his son Cruz revealed Victoria Beckham had removed all of her tattoos, including her tributes to her husband.  The 50-year-old posed up a storm in his latest Instagram post and ditched his shirt for a selfie in the glistening sun, after celebrating the opening of his football team, Inter Miami’s Nu stadium.  Standing up in a swimming pool, the former footballer leaned against the edge and snapped a quick picture as the sun beamed down over his shoulder, highlighting his array of tattoos which cover his chest, arms and neck.  The father-of-four flexed his abs against the tropical backdrop of palm trees and added a caption that read: “Good afternoon,” with a sun emoji as he smiled in a baseball cap.  Fans were quick to express their admiration for the star in the comments, and among them was David’s wife Victoria, 51, who playfully said: “Someone has been in the gym!!!,” with fire and red heart emojis.  “Ageing like …

The BBC announced last week that the Radio 2 presenter’s contract had been terminated over “allegations about his personal conduct”, with the Metropolitan Police later revealing that it had investigated Mills over allegations of serious sexual offences involving a teenage boy under 16 in 2016. While Mills was not charged after the Crown Prosecution Service found that “the evidential threshold had not been met”, the BBC fired him on March 30 after receiving “new information” in the weeks before his sacking.

After Bondi’s firing, DOJ portrait swiftly removed and trashed

After Bondi’s firing, DOJ portrait swiftly removed and trashed

President Donald Trump’s firing of Pam Bondi was abrupt. What followed was even faster. Within hours of her ouster, Bondi’s portrait had reportedly been pulled from the walls of the Justice Department. One image circulating online appeared to show it tossed into a trash bin — a blunt, almost cinematic end to a tenure that, until very recently, placed her at the center of Trump’s legal and political agenda. https://t.co/JTDhqwkXXi pic.twitter.com/NmtVlxFRuT — Ken Dilanian (@KDilanianMSNOW) April 3, 2026 The speed of that cleanup stood out. Cabinet officials come and go, but the near-immediate removal of Bondi’s image signaled something closer to erasure than transition, a rapid closing of ranks inside a department that had already been under pressure. This despite an attempt to control the narrative from Trump and Bondi, framing it as a choice to “move on” over a demand for resignation. Her exit itself was messy. Reports describe last-minute efforts to hold onto the job and mounting frustration over stalled prosecutions and the handling of high-profile files tied to Jeffrey Epstein. But those …

James Blake asks to have his name removed from Kanye West’s new album credits

Get the inside track from Roisin O’Connor with our free weekly music newsletter Now Hear This Get our free music newsletter Now Hear This Get our free music newsletter Now Hear This James Blake is asking to be removed from the production credits on Kanye West’s latest album. After nearly a two-year rollout, West’s Bully came out Friday, featuring the closing track “This One Here.” The song’s credits include Blake, Don Toliver, Quentin Miller and West as co-writers. However, Blake has now asked to taken out of the credits because “the spirit” of his original work is “mostly absent” in the song. “The way I pitched his vocals and construed the track from his freestyle is partially there, majorly peppered with other newer vocal takes etc.,” the English musician wrote recently on Vault, his streaming platform. “But the spirit of my actual production is mostly absent other than that.” Blake, 37, added: “Happy for the fans but I’ve asked to be taken off the producer credits for now as I don’t want to take credit …

We are flushing paracetamol down the toilet and into our water supply – here’s how it could be removed

We are flushing paracetamol down the toilet and into our water supply – here’s how it could be removed

Many people use drugs including paracetamol on a regular basis to treat headaches. But only part of each drug is taken into the bloodstream, while the rest is released into the wastewater through our urine when we go to the toilet. Paracetamol is an ingredient in the tablet. Most of the paracetamol is absorbed into the blood. Around 5% of the paracetamol is immediately excreted in urine in its original form. Over around 24 hours, up to 95% of one dose of paracetamol – including the amount that was previously absorbed into the blood stream – is excreted in urine, after being degraded in the liver. Mainly as a result of this physical process, paracetamol is increasingly being detected in rivers around the world. In the UK, maximum concentrations around 1 microgram per litre have been measured in the River Thames and in different estuaries. Similar levels were found in rivers and lakes of other European countries, including Serbia and Spain. In the Nairobi river in Kenya, paracetamol concentrations have reached up to 16 micrograms …

Statue Removed During Protests to Be Reinstated in Washington D.C.

Six years after the city of Wilmington, Delaware, took it down in the midst of Black Lives Matter protests that roiled the United States, the National Park Service plans to reinstate a statue of Caesar Rodney—a signer of the Declaration of Independence who enslaved more than 200 people at the plantation he owned—in Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C. As reported by the Washington Post, which cited Interior Department documents obtained by the paper, the statue’s resurrection is a planned part of the nation’s 250th birthday celebration this summer. The statue would stand for up to six months on a concourse on Pennsylvania Avenue in the plaza named in tribute to Martin Luther King Jr. Related Articles When asked to confirm the plan, an Interior Department spokesperson told the Post, “As we approach America’s 250th anniversary, the Trump administration has been committed to celebrating and acknowledging the full breadth of our nation’s history, including the story of Caesar Rodney and his pivotal ride in July 1776. Despite being gravely ill with a cancerous condition that caused …

Artists Behind Removed Trump-Epstein Statue Have Placed A New One in Washington, D.C.

Artists Behind Removed Trump-Epstein Statue Have Placed A New One in Washington, D.C.

The anonymous artists behind The Secret Handshake, the guerrilla public art statue of President Donald Trump and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, are at it again. On Tuesday, the group emailed ARTnews with photos of a new statue placed in Washington, D.C., again depicting Trump and Epstein. Titled KING OF THE WORLD, the 12-foot tall statue depicts the US president embracing Epstein in the now iconic pose of Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet in the 1997 film Titanic. A plaque below the statue makes the connection explicit, reading: “The tragic love story between Jack and Rose was built on luxurious travel, raucous parties, and secret nude sketches. This monument honors the bond between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, a friendship seemingly built on luxurious travel, raucous parties, and secret nude sketches.” Related Articles On either side of the statue, which is placed across the US Capitol building on 3rd Street West between Madison Drive and Jefferson Drive, are 10 banners honoring Trump and Epstein. Why? “Because 2026 has been a banner year for President Trump,” the email explains. …
