With this new category, Bolt will cater to single passengers with cheaper and quicker rides, all whilst being 100% electric. In order to ensure the safety of our riders, these Carver vehicles have been uniquely modified for this specific use in Malta, and all necessary training has been provided to drivers of this new category.”

It seems as though Google searches for Rihanna’s makeup brand Fenty Beauty experienced a boost of around 833% following Rihanna’s 13-minute Super Bowl Performance.

This came after a very brief product placement by the artist herself who reached over to one of her dancers to apply a new douse of the $44 Fenty Beauty Invisimatte Instant Setting + Blotting Powder.

When Fenty Beauty was launched back in 2017, Rihanna was praised for its then groundbreaking 40 foundation shades as only a few brands had such a wide range back then. 

Following this, shade inclusivity is expected out of every single make-up brand, a trend set by the youngest self-made billionaire in the US herself. 

This also comes after the halftime show product placements the completion is known for. It featured ads for Tubi, which decided to play a clever little trick on TV viewers, as well as M&Ms, who doubled down on their recent mysterious Maya Rudolph face-of-the-brand stunt.

Feb 13 2023 Share

27 year old Kane Grima, a resident of Valletta, has been remanded into custody after being caught with three kilos of cannabis during a high-speed car chase with police. 

On Saturday, Grima refused to stop when police signalled to him on Tal-Barrani Road in Żejtun, leading officers on a pursuit that ended in Madliena. 

During the chase, Grima crashed into police cars and third-party vehicles, causing significant damage. 

After being apprehended, a search of Grima’s car and police headquarters led to the discovery of the cannabis.

Grima was charged with possession of the drug for purposes other than personal use, causing wilful damage to property over €2,500, reckless and dangerous driving, disobeying police orders, and illegal possession of an unlicensed weapon. 

He was also accused of violating probation, breaching a suspended sentence, and two previous bail decrees from 2018 and 2019.

At the arraignment on Monday, Grima’s lawyers did not request bail, and Magistrate Nadine Lia ordered him to remain in custody. 

The prosecution was handled by Inspectors Mark A. Mercieca and John Leigh Howard, while Franco Debono and Marion Camilleri were the defence counsels.
