Jan 13 2022

Celebrities Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly have finally got engaged, but as if that wasn’t news enough, the couple decided to celebrate by allegedly drinking each other’s blood.

The rapper turned pop-punk star, Machine Gun Kelly (MGK), real name Colson Baker, met Fox on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass.

Despite the movie not being very well received by critics, the pair’s growing connection and eventual engagement managed to survive the cinematic onslaught.

With several stories surrounding the couple’s bizarre adventures, such as their hallucinogenic drug trip or blood vials around their necks, the 31-year-old musician finally popped the question.

With Fox replying yes, the couple celebrated the event by drinking each other’s blood. She went on to announce the engagement on Instagram, sharing a video of MGK getting down on one knee and sharing a kiss.

Fox said that ‘somehow a year and a half later, having walked through hell together, and having laughed more than I ever imagined possible, he asked me to marry him […] and then we drank each other’s blood.’

MGK himself shared a video of Fox’s emerald and diamond engagement ring, saying that the former was her birth stone and the latter his own. All well and good… but we still don’t know what to make of the whole blood drinking scenario…

Archbishop mum on Vatican promotion rumour

Jan 13 2022

Archbishop Charles Scicluna refused to comment on rumours which suggest that he might be selected for one of the top jobs at the Vatican.

A spokesperson for the Curia said that The Archbishop does ‘not comment on conjecture in the media concerning himself and remains fully committed to his mission in Malta and to his role as Adjunct Secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.’

Catholic websites The Pillar and Messa in Latino said on Monday that Scicluna actually stands a good chance at being appointed secretary of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, succeeding Archbishop Giacomo Morandi.

Malta’s archbishop already holds a position as one of the Congregation’s two adjunct secretaries. If sources are right in their information that the promotion would need him to work from the Vatican, Pope Francis would need to appoint a new Archbishop for Malta.

The congregation is one of nine responsible for carrying out the Church’s duties in the world, similar to a ministry in a government. The position of secretary is only inferior to that of the Prefect who answers directly to the Pope.

Stormy morning and heavy rainfall in several Maltese localities

Jan 13 2022

Malta woke up to rainy weather, with some areas being hit by stronger rainfall and even thunderous skies.

This weather however calmed down as the hours went on, giving way to a sunnier second half of the day, with wind and cold temperatures.

Several localities around the island also experienced over 500mm of rain as an average from the start of last September following a night of constant downpour. The average yearly rainfall in Malta usually amounts to 560mm.

The highest temperature today will be 13 degrees Celsius, and the lowest 11. However it will feel like 12 degrees Celsius and 6 degrees Celsius.

Does this set the stage for a rainy weekend? Well, Malta Airport Weather reports that tomorrow, Friday 14th January, is set to be mainly sunny.

The clouds are set to make a comeback on Saturday all throughout the rest of the weekend and well into next week as well.

It certainly makes it seem like cuddle up weather but for those venturing out, make sure you stay safe! The likelihood of heavy weather is 80% and light downpour 35%. Storms are 60% likely according to ‘It-Temp Madwarna.’

Six-week exemption for COVID recovered as they await booster shot

Jan 13 2022

With the new vaccine certificate rules coming into effect next Monday 17th January, people who have recently recovered from COVID-19 and are awaiting their booster shot will be granted a six-week exemption.

The exemption will be granted to anyone with a positive test result who is not yet eligible for the third shot. The measures, which were no stranger to controversy, will be outlined today as to how they will be working.

A vaccine certificate will be mandatory for entry into restaurants, bars and other venues as well as travel into the country as of Monday. The certificate will be valid for three months after the second dose of the jab or nine months from the booster. However, due to a spike in cases leading to thousands being in quarantine, the change could be problematic as they must await another four weeks from testing positive to be booster eligible.

Times of Malta revealed that the Deputy Prime Minister will be announcing an exemption valid for six weeks to give time for people to get their jab. It remains unclear whether the decision to impose a three-month expiry date on the second dose will be revised.

This comes after the European Commission said this would breach its travel regulations, which lays down a nine-month expiry period. The Malta International Airport has also stated that the rule discriminates against Maltese residents, followed by other groups and individuals asking for withdrawal or editing of the rules.
