WATCH: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck back together

Jun 16 2021

Singer Jennifer Lopez and movie star Ben Affleck have rekindled their romance as a new video obtained by Page Six shows the couple sharing a kiss in public. Speculation of the return to romance began in May after the pair went on holiday together in Montana. Lopez and Affleck (a.k.a. Bennifer) were one of Hollywood’s most famous couples back in the early 2000s, before the relationship came to an end in January 2004.

New corgi puppy for Queen Elizabeth after death of dog Fergus

Jun 16 2021

The 95-year-old monarch of England Queen Elizabeth has been gifted a 6-week-old corgi from her son Prince Andrew and his daughters. The puppy was allegedly gifted the dog on Thursday, which would have marked late Prince Philip’s 100th birthday. The new pet comes into the family following the passing of one of the two new puppies given to her whilst Prince Philip was in the hospital.

Fergus, named after her late uncle, joined the family with Muick who is named after a favourite spot of the Queen’s near Balmoral Castle. It was initially thought that the queen did not want any more dogs – in part because it risked her tripping over one of them and also because she did not want to leave any young dogs behind. The queen has another dog named Candy.

Paul Pogba mirrors Ronaldo by removing Heineken bottle during conference

Jun 16 2021

Following the internet breaking moment in which Portugese player Cristiano Ronaldo removes Coca-Cola bottles during a press conference, France’s Paul Pogba mirrored the act by removing a bottle of Heineken. This, however, occurred for slightly different reasons as Pogba removed the bottle for religious reasons, as Muslims are forbidden from drinking alcohol.

The 28-year-old is another star to take a stance against one of Euro’s sponsors following the Ronaldo incident. Pogba, a devout Muslim, made the religious pilgrimage to Mecca along with Kurt Zouma back in 2018. Fans also criticised tournament staff for putting the beverage in front of Pogba in the first place and therefore the player cannot be blamed for the gesture.

New ground-breaking COVID-19 treatment discovered

Jun 16 2021

Scientists claim to have found a new, albeit expensive, treatment to treat infections and prevent COVID-19 deaths. Following the discovery of a cheap steroid drug exactly a year ago, scientists have developed a way to create a potent intravenous infusion of antibodies to neutralise the virus, instead of dampening the body’s inflammatory response to the virus. For every 100 patients treated, six could probably be saved from the brink of death. It could also help one in three of those in hospital with severe COVID.

Costing between £1,000 and £2,000, only those who have not already made any antibodies of their own to fight can be given the treatment. a 37-year-old patient named Kimberely Featherstone stated the was incredibly lucky the trial was up and running by the time she was hospitalised. In a trial which included around 10,000 UK patients, the treatment reduced risks of death, length of hospital stay and need for ventilators.
