Searches for Fenty Beauty spike by 833% after Super Bowl show
Feb 14 2023 Share

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

Following what must have been the most intense weather on the Maltese islands late last week, thanks to storm Helios, weather forecasts for this upcoming week might be a breath of fresh air for many who were stuck indoors or did not dare venture out into the cold and watery chaos.

According to the Malta International Airport weather forecast, the entirety of this week is set to be partly cloudy, with some isolated rain showers on, mainly, Monday.

The temperatures are set to range from a height of 15 degrees Celsius to a low of around 8 degrees Celsius. The temperatures are set to feel around 15 to 16 degrees Celsius which is a considerable difference after last week’s freezing cold. 

According to Facebook page ‘It-Temp Madwarna’, the wind is set to be around a Force 4, with a moderately strong sea. So far, no stormy battering seem to be in sight.

Police chase bailed out 27 year old to find 3 kilos of cannabis

Police chase bailed out 27 year old to find 3 kilos of cannabis
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.

5,000 minors reportedly abused by Portuguese Catholic clergy since 1950

Feb 13 2023 Share

An independent commission in Portugal has found that Catholic clergy have abused nearly 5,000 children since 1950. 

This announcement comes after the commission heard from over 500 victims, with the inquiry having been commissioned by the Church itself in the Catholic-majority country. 

One of the 25 cases that have been transferred to the police is that of “Alexandra,” a now 43-year-old woman who alleges she was raped by a priest during confession when she was a novice nun at the age of 17.

 he eventually reported the attack to the Church but felt her pleas to address the issue were ignored. 

The Vatican has yet to respond to her complaint. Despite this, Alexandra has found support from the independent commission. 

The bishops of Portugal will convene in March to address the report’s findings and work towards eliminating the abuse from the Church. Pope Francis is also facing increasing pressure to address the widespread abuse within the Catholic Church and investigations have been launched in several countries. 

Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon and the highest ranking prelate in Portugal Manuel Clemente said in April of 2022 that he was prepared to address the errors of the past and ask the victims for forgiveness. 

Despite this the time limit for bringing charges already expired for most of the alleged offences. However, 25 cases have been transferred as police inquiries open up. 

For the likes of Alexandra, the independent commission represents a positive step for victims seeking to break the silence surrounding their abuse.
