A pet cemetery could be ready for use by next year

Oct 29 2021

Malta’s very first pet cemetery could be opening its services as of next year as works should be completed by 2022. Animal Right’s Minister Anton Refalo unveiled the news this morning during a press conference, saying that this would represent a big leap in the quality of the animal rights sector in Malta. Having been one of the pledges made by Labour in 2017, a cemetery for pets has been targeted for quite a while throughout Malta’s recent history, and it seems as though our beloved four legged friends will finally have a safe place to be buried when they pass on.

It was originally planned to have the cemetery operated by the private sector but this was slowed down due to lacking interest. With a tender issued last January, this will make the cemetery intended for cats and dogs. Burial permission of other animals is as of yet unknown. This also comes as the minister highlighted funds allocated into next year’s budget for a commissioned study into a center for reforming animals and whether this was feasible.

Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid officially announce break up

Oct 29 2021

Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik have decided to go separate ways, with multiple sources exclusively confirming to newsroom People that the couple has in fact split. The supermodel, 26, and singer, 28, broke up but are co-parenting their 13-month-0ld daughter Khai. With Hadid’s mother Yolanda being very protective of her daughter and grand-daughter, she has allegedly considered filing a police report against Malik for striking her. However, speaking to TMZ, Malik denied the false allegations adamantly. He also stated that he wants to create a space where private family matters are not thrown onto the world stage for all to see.

A Gigi rep has also issued a statement saying that the model is currently focused on what is best for Khai and asks for privacy during this time. First romance rumors started to spread about the two back in November 2015 when they stepped out together at an American Music Awards afterparty. After a rocky relationship of getting together and breaking up, the couple confirmed the pregnancy in April 2020, having kept it private during pandemic lockdowns.

The new Gymshark male crop tops causing an online stir

Oct 29 2021

Athleisure company Gymshark just launched a new range of workout crop tops for men and suffice to say, not everyone seems to have wrapped their minds around the concept. The company was allegedly inspired by fitness influencer Nathan McCallum, who took to Instagram to post photos of himself in his home made crop tops. This lead the brand to develop its ‘first ever men’s crop top’. A black box-cut shirt with a print reading ‘when the pre-workout hits’, the exposed stomachs seemed to be a bit distasteful for many as they took to comments to express their distaste for the style.

However, the tops do seem to give some extra ventilation for guys (while showing off hard-earned abs) without them being that dude who goes to the gym shirtless. Gymshark promptly pushed back at the negative comments, saying that despite this style not being for everyone, people should still respect those who feel comfortable in it. The crop tops are also a positive step for inclusivity and this in turn resulted in those who simply adore the crop tops to express their support and appreciation. What do you think of these crop tops?

As a new year draws closer and the gradual move towards normality post-COVID continues, the Valletta Cultural Agency confirms that UK singer and musician John Newman will be headlining the National NYE celebrations in Valletta. The celebrations are being organized by the VCA alongside G7 Events, with the full support of the Ministry for Justice, Culture and Local Government as well as the Malta Tourism Authority.

Hosted by Abel, JD and Martina, the entertainment for the night will also include The Palace String Orchestra featuring Aidan, Jasmine, Gaia, Ozzy Lino, Megan and Klinsmann as well as local DJ Debrii. More information about the event is set to be issued soon but the roster of international and local talent is already set to close one chapter and start a fresh new one with a celebration we all deserve and need!
