More than 600,000 gallons of red wine were spilled on the streets of a small coastal town in Portugal during an incident involving the Levira distillery.
The spectacular images were captured by residents of São Lorenco de Bairro, a small town of almost 2,000 inhabitants, as the streets were completely flooded with the red liquid!
According to the New York Post, two tanks belonging to the Levira distillery suddenly broke. The cause of the failure was still unknown at the time of writing.
Still according to the New York Post, an ecological catastrophe was narrowly averted, as firefighters managed to divert the wine into a field rather than a river!
Since the announcement of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s divorce, we can sense that things aren’t going so well in the divorce proceedings between the former lovers, foreshadowing a bitter divorce to say the least…
Many accuse Joe Jonas of trying to shift the blame onto his soon-to-be ex-wife and mother of their two young children, Sophie Turner, as strange rumors about the latter began circulating as soon as Jonas announced his divorce!
On the one hand, an unhappy Jonas accuses the Game of Thrones star of wanting to party too much, but on the other, he reportedly said in an interview that the couple’s homebody… was her.
Even Turner had confessed to Conan O’Brien during the pandemic that she had no problem with staying at home:
“I’m loving it. I’m an introvert, I’m a homebody, If I could stay at home all day, I would, so this is great for me.”
According to other sources, the relationship between the two actually deteriorated after the birth of their second child, when Turner experienced postpartum difficulties and was left with an unsupportive husband.

The stars also tried to calm speculation in a joint statement posted on social media:
“Statement from the two of us: After four wonderful years of marriage we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage. There are many speculative narrativbes as to why but, truly this is an united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children.“
The many reactions to the shock letter Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis wrote in support of Danny Masterson, their That ’70s Show colleague, sentenced to 30 years in prison for rape, have forced them to apologize!

“We are aware of the pain caused by the character letter we wrote on behalf of Danny Masterson,” Ashton says in the Instagram post.
“We support victims. We have done this historically through our work and will continue to do so in the future,” Kunis adds.

The two stars are in hot water following the unveiling of a letter to the judge in their former colleague’s rape trial, while the latter has just received a 30-year prison sentence before being eligible for parole.
“Couple months ago, Danny’s family reached out to us and they ask us to write character letters, to represent the person that we knew for 25 years, so that the judge could take that in the full consideration relative to the sentencing,” says Kutcher, as the couple try to justify themselves.

“The letters were not written to question the legitimacy of the judicial system or the validity of the jury ruling,” says Mila Kunis.
“They were intended for the judge to read and not to undermine the testimony of the victims or re traumatise them in any way… we would never want to do that, and we’re sorry if that is taking place,” Kutcher then launches.

“Our hearts goes out to every single person who ever been a victim of sexual assault, sexual abuse, or rape,” Kunis finishes.
Their attempts at an apology, however, seem feeble to many, compared to the very affectionate words addressed to Danny Masterson and submitted to the judge who was to decide Masterson’s sentence.
Here are some excerpts:

“My name is Ashton Kutcher I am an actor, investor, philanthropist, and most importantly a father. I met Danny Masterson when I was 20 years old in 1998. He instantly became a friend, dedicated co worker, and role model to me. And has remained as such for 25 years,” Kutcher’s letter reads.

“I am writing this character letter on behalf of my dear friend, Danny Masterson, with whom I have had the privilege of sharing a significant part of my life. My name is Mila Kunis, and I am an actress, and I believe it is essential to share the remarkable influence Danny has had on my life and the lives of others,” Kunis’ letter reads.

Now that’s going to be hard to swallow for fans of Kutcher and Kunis, as well as assault victims everywhere.
“To pull off a stunt of this magnitude, it usually takes several months of work.”
Wednesday, September 13, radio show Ça rentre au poste (Énergie 94.3 Montréal) pulled off a very good stunt… by pranking former U.S. President Donald Trump on the phone!
It was the concept of Sébastien Trudel and his sidekick Jason Rockman, who had the pleasure of talking to Donald Trump on the phone while pretending to be… Clint Eastwood, it seems!
Well, I had an interesting phone call today..Stay tuned
“To pull off a stunt of this magnitude, it usually takes several months of work. It’s incredible to have managed to outsmart all these people in just a few hours. This isn’t the first time someone has tried to frame American presidents. I never thought we’d be able to trick Donald Trump into calling his golf club,” says Sébastien Trudel.

Channel WRCB was able to capture the whole thing, so thankfully this magical moment was preserved!
“Cornelia and I met on the news in Montana about four years ago (…) You always light up the room and make people laugh. You have a lot of talent, especially for news. I think anyone who looks at you knows that. You’re the main reason I still work in news today. You’re always pushing me to be better in every aspect of my life. And I thought it would be perfect to ask you this question here, since we met on news. Cornelia Nocholson, will you marry me?” said Riley Nagel with great emotion.
Then the young woman exclaimed: “Oh my God… I’m going to cry… Yes! Yes I do!”
