Three monkeys have been kidnapped and a huge ransom is demanded in return

Three baby chimpanzees have been abducted from a refuge in Congo, and the kidnappers are demanding $200,000 to free the apes they stole with (most likely) the help of people who work there.

There are reports that five accomplices and employees of the refuge are behind bars, but the kidnappers keep demanding an inordinate ransom to free the three chimpanzees.

The owners of the “JACK” shelter have no way of paying such an exorbitant sum, so negotiations with the criminals are continuing through the telephone company.

Via a Facebook video, one of the refuge’s owners, Franck Chantereau, said that what was happening to them is unprecedented in the world of great ape conservation. This refuge is experiencing a first, a monkey theft in return for a monstrous amount of money.

The three baby chimpanzees are named Monga, Caesar and Hussein, who were rescued from poaching and trafficking, and then cared for.

The three “brothers” have been filmed, in a more or less clean place, by the kidnappers.

Four teens killed over potential TikTok challenge

A young teenage mother and three other teens in the Buffalo area were killed in a traffic accident, and this sad tragedy may have involved a TikTok challenge.

According to the authorities’ report, the challenge in question, if it really was, was to steal a car using cell phone chargers, but the whole thing ended in a nightmare.

The four teens were ejected from the vehicle, according to WGRZ news.

The teens identified are 19-year-old Marcus Webster, 17-year-old Swazine Swindle, 16-year-old Kevin Payne and 14-year-old Ahjanae Harper, who recently gave birth and was due to turn 15 on November 1.

However, experts in the field are skeptical of the TikTok challenge thesis since it would be highly unlikely that an online challenge would motivate random teenagers to commit such a criminal act.

It should be noted that the 16-year-old driver and another 14-year-old survived the crash.

Neymar manages to avoid prison

Cover Images

The Spanish Public Prosecutor’s Office has dropped all charges of corruption and fraud against soccer star Neymar and all others involved in this trial about the irregularities surrounding the player’s transaction to Barça in 2013.

The people targeted in this case were his parents, former Barcelona presidents Sandro Rosell and Josep Maria Bartomeu, and former Santos president Odilio Rodrigues Filho, in addition to three legal entities.

The accusations came from the DIS investment fund, the place that held Neymar’s economic rights when he was a promising youngster. According to the firm, the real value of his transfer to Barça was concealed…

The prosecutor took it upon himself to announce the dropping of charges against all the defendants and for all the facts for which Neymar had the chance of being imprisoned for some years.

Initially, the prosecution was asking for two years in prison for Neymar Jr, in addition to a fine of 10 million euros.

The star could therefore fully focus on the World Cup that will start on November 20.

The SAQ is raising prices!

The SAQ, like many other businesses, is not immune to inflation, so it had to increase its prices by about 2.4%. At least that is the reason the company offers to justify this sudden increase.

1458 products, including wines and spirits, will see their prices increase from November 6, except for a few that will be increased from January 29… because they are currently on promotion.

Nevertheless, 1389 products will not be affected by the economic context, while 539 others will suffer an increase of only 1.3%, reports TVA Nouvelles.

Unfortunately, the inflation that has been affecting us for the past few months affects many products, and wines and spirits will also be part of this range.

The SAQ’s suppliers have to fight with several major challenges, which would influence production costs, while counting the labor shortage, in addition to the price increase in products related to bottling, we are told.

Machine Gun Kelly stirs up controversy with questionable move

Machine Gun Kelly may have taken the concept of his (Tommy Lee) costume a little too far, allowing himself to do a “line“ on his girlfriend’s chest, Megan Fox. Fox was dressed as Pamela Anderson , who was in a relationship with Tommy Lee in the early 2000s.

“Happy Halloween virgins” he said on Instagram.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CkULzTCvO3W/

It is impossible to say 100% if the cocaine was fake or real, but we have to admit that many fans did not like the video, and Machine Gun Kelly is now at the center of a controversy.

Here are the comments of two fans of the singer, who seemed a bit lost in the past few months:

“OK, but this? Damn, your music may be good, but the drugs? Not so much!”

“I can’t keep defending you wtf! 😭”

Do you think Machine Gun Kelly went too far in his Tommy Lee impersonation?

Tomas Plekanec is 40 years old!

The Montreal Canadiens are a very classy organization that is known for not forgetting its alumni… except during the Marc Bergevin era.

That said, to celebrate Tomas Plekanec‘s 40 candles, Habs shared two photos of Pleky, one in a blue-white-red uniform and one where he was a kid.

https://twitter.com/CanadiensMTL/status/1587083177926983683

Plekanec and his turtleneck have left their mark on the Montreal Canadiens for many reasons, including his efficiency on defense and in the face-off circle.

The former number 14 also played a total of 984 games for the Sainte-Flanelle, with whom he also collected 606 points.

Let’s not forget his 24-game stint (including seven playoff games with the Leafs) with the Toronto Maple Leafs, and his return to the CH for three games to reach the 1,000-game mark with HIS team.

Pleky, you will never be forgotten!

Diddy dressed up as the Joker and an actor wanted to beat him up

Source : Cover Images

Diddy’s Halloween costume was so good (he opted for the Joker Heath Ledger version) that he practically got himself into a fight with an actor in the street because he was so in character.

The “big boss” of Bad Boy Records who was in California last weekend, played the Joker in front of Michael J. Ferguson, who plays the role of 2Bit in 50 Cent series, Power.

https://twitter.com/madeitnewztv/status/1586924047740375040

Watching the video of this scene, you can feel the tension building between the two men, without knowing the real nature of the problem. This is definitely a Diddy too intense in his role. Diddy’s clan even tried to intimidate the actor, who did not back down.

To calm things down, Diddy took back his own voice, snickering, so Michael could recognize him, which finally led the actor to laugh and hug Mr. Puff.

After Kourtney Kardashian and Machine Gun Kelly, among others, and now Diddy, it’s safe to say that several stars took Halloween a little too seriously this year!

Did Diddy go too far?
