The audacity…

Anyone who happened to have been near the striking baroque Church of Saint-Roch in Paris in April 2024 may have spotted a number of high-profile figures emerging from a funeral service there.Among those attending were the former French First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy – 58-year-old wife of ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy – film director Luc Besson and Anthony Delon, son of the renowned late actor Alain Delon.Also present at what is known as the ‘artists’ church’ in the impeccably smart 1st arrondissement that day – but perhaps less recognisable – were the statuesque former Dutch supermodel Karen Mulder, accompanied by her then…

Opening night or an encore? There will be significantly tougher games ahead for Arsenal, but all indications from this one would suggest complacency will not be among any shortcomings in their defence of the title.This was vicious and savage and effective in all the right ways. Had the Micky Quinn of 1993 been summoned by Coventry City, chances are he would have been dumped on his backside along with the rest of Frank Lampard’s men. Naturally, there should be no rushes to judgment about what it all means, except to say that Mikel Arteta’s side kicked off this Premier League campaign…

The video shows what appears to be a roll of cash so thick it would impress Tony Soprano. White-gloved hands place the wad in an empty Doritios bag, and toss it casually under a tree. The camera pans to show people hanging out in the park, completely unaware of the treasure left in their midst. Shortly after, an Instagram account called @nyc_money_hunt posts the video, writing beneath it, “Finders keepers  Tag us when you find the cash!”The next day, more than 200 miles north, an unrelated account called @passpassbos makes a similar post: “Here’s a BIG drop for you Boston. Like…

A former University of Kentucky cheerleader told a courtroom that she deliberately deprived her newborn son of oxygen before dumping his body in a closet, as she pleaded guilty to his manslaughter. Laken Snelling, 22, initially pleaded not guilty when she was indicted on several charges after being arrested last August. WLEX reported that she has now changed her plea to guilty, and cried in court as she revealed to a judge what she did. According to the outlet, her attorneys reached out to prosecutors about a possible plea agreement that was accepted. As part of the deal, Snelling had to tell the court exactly…
