According to Variety the Fatal Attraction star will no longer preside over the film festival competition jury or attend the festival this year. The 75-year-old actress said in a statement, “I deeply regret that I will not be able to take part in the Festival as there has been a family emergency for which I must stay home. I apologise to the Festival, the Jury, the filmmakers, the Donostia honorees, and the festival audience, that I will not be there to celebrate with you all.” Argentinian producer Matías Mosteirín will serve as the jury’s president in Glenn’s stead.

Vengeful Biden Uses Century-Old Law to Thwart Trump Plan
It looks like Joe Biden will be a thorn in Donald Trump’s side long after he vacates the Oval Office, after the outgoing president used a pair of aging laws to effectively troll his successor. Just a day after using a 72-year-old law to stymie Trump’s ambitions to explore offshore drilling opportunities, Biden is at it again—this time deploying a piece of legislation more than a century old to hamper his old foe’s plans. The ace up “Sleepy Joe’s” sleeve this time proved he’s not so slow, as he i

“I do not want to live in a country where so many people are priced out of heating their homes in the winter, or having to choose between sitting in a freezing cold flat and putting food on their table.” These are the words of Rachel Reeves when she sat on the opposition benches in 2018.

Of course people have sex in prison – I was one of them
When I saw in the news that Linda De Sousa Abreu, a female prison officer, had pleaded guilty to having sex with a male inmate, I probably wasn’t as shocked as the rest of the country. I wasn’t even surprised. Abreu has now been jailed for 15 months. Having served time myself, for four months in 2022, I understood exactly why these things might happen. In fact, I even had a very quick “bonk” myself – albeit with a fellow inmate and not a prison officer.

Megalomaniac Elon Musk Now Threatening MAGA Takeover of Second Country
Following in the footsteps of his Canada- and Greenland-coveting pal Donald Trump, MAGA billionaire Elon Musk is asking whether the United States should “liberate the people of Britain from their tyrannical government." The Tesla CEO posed the question in an early Monday morning tweet, the latest in a multi-day social media bender aimed at the U.K. that has seen him advocate for a jailed right-wing activist, call for the head of a right-wing party leader, and demand that a junior minister of the

Elon Musk Biographer Details Why He Thinks Billionaire Is ‘Going Mad’
An Elon Musk biographer has sounded the alarm that the world’s richest man may be losing his mind. The Harvard Law-educated biographer Seth Abramson speculated Monday that Musk might be “going mad” in a setting for all to see—brought on by his growing stress, history of mental illness, and self-described heavy drug use. “I legitimately believe Elon Musk may be going mad,” he posted to X. “I’m a Musk biographer who has been tracking his online behavior for the last two years—and given that he’s a

Trump refuses to rule out use of military force to take control of Greenland and the Panama Canal
President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday said he would not rule out the use of military force to seize control of the Panama Canal and Greenland, as he declared U.S. control of both to be vital to American national security. Speaking to reporters less than two weeks before he takes office on Jan. 20 and as a delegation of aides and advisers that includes Donald Trump Jr. is in Greenland, Trump left open the use of the American military to secure both territories. Trump's intention marks a rejection of decades of U.S. policy that has prioritized self-determination over territorial expansion.

Man will have to access home through £6m tunnel - after new road built next door
A pensioner living next to a new major road project will access his home through a 'private' TUNNEL - that could cost up to £6M. Brian Garlick has been forced out of his home alongside the A417 Missing Link - a three-mile-long dual carrigeway under construction between Gloucester and Cirencester. But he says National Highways has withdrawn an offer of £750k to buy the property so he will be stuck with it after the project is completed in 2027. And he said he was shocked at hearing the safest way to access his home when the road eventually opens would be through a specially built tunnel - costing between £4m and £6M. Without its construction, Brian won't be able to go anywhere. He explained that the tunnel is planned to be a quarter of a mile away from his house - but the details of its dimensions are yet to be decided. Brian, 69, who is currently living alone in a caravan park during the building phase must currently give 21 days notice to access the home he was born in.
