Greta Thunberg arrested in Germany after violent confrontation!

Climate activist Greta Thunberg was arrested by the police while participating in a demonstration a few days ago in the village of Lützerath, Germany.

It was the expansion of a coal mine that would force the complete eviction of the residents of Lützerath that drew the attention of pro-climate protesters, who were reportedly joined by Thunberg earlier this week.

The clashes between protesters and police have been going on for several weeks, according to CNN, and began when several hundred police officers showed up at the doors of residents to force them out of their homes.

According to CNN, the goal is to completely seal off the village over a radius of 1.5 kilometers, and then demolish everything!

According to The Guardian, violent altercations between the police and the protesters began when the police tried to evict the protesters who had barricaded themselves in the village. The German government justifies the expansion of this mine, in particular to reduce their energy dependence on Russia.

Now in her 230th week of climate strike, Greta Thunberg still seems determined in her climate fight!

Buffalo now has a 17-foot painting of Damar Hamlin!

The city of Buffalo has offered a dose of inspiration to its residents with a new work of art named Damar Hamlin, which was painted on a wall by local artist Adam Zyglis.

Zyglis, the project’s mastermind, collaborated with Rory Allen to find the perfect location for Hamlin’s painting, which suffered a cardiac arrest in the field a few weeks ago. The mural is in Larkin Square, a little outside of downtown, about 15 minutes from the Bills’ Highmark Stadium.

Adam Zyglis is an editorial cartoonist at the Buffalo News, and the idea for the mural came to him when Hamlin was released from the hospital, foiling the odds.

The painting stands 17 feet tall, and Damar is seen in his Bills uniform, making a heart shape with his hands.

It took the artist four to five hours to complete.

Remember that Hamlin can not play yet, but he supported his teammates in the win against the Miami Dolphins in the wild card round.

Robin Lehner declares bankruptcy and discloses $50M in debts

Robin Lehner is a very special person, who presented his mental illness (bipolar disorder type 1) to the media a few years ago, allowing him to take another step in his human journey.

Lehner has received a ton of positive testimonials to this effect, also motivating some people to confide in him and put into action a plan to improve their conditions.

That being said, the goalie is currently sidelined due to hip surgery… but he has still found a way to get people talking about him because of his exotic snakes and the announcement of a bankruptcy.

Lehner and his wife filed for bankruptcy on December 30, owing more than 50 people and companies money. It should be noted that the assets of Lehner and his wife are valued at more or less 10 million dollars.

What undoubtedly led to this bankruptcy was a multi-million dollar loan with a Wisconsin business, when Lehner was no longer able to make the payments. This business sued Lehner and his father for $4 million.

Note that the debts include missed payments for his collection of exotic snakes, which he purchased for a cool $1.2 million in 2017.

The snakes in question are kept on his farm in Plato, Missouri.

Britney Spears in crisis in a restaurant in Los Angeles?

According to TMZ, Britney Spears would have been the victim of a manic episode during an outing with her husband Sam Asghari in a crowded restaurant in Los Angeles, going so far as to say that the star was speaking in an incomprehensible language.

The incident in question allegedly took place at Joey’s, a crowded restaurant in Woodland Hills, where the singer was visibly annoyed by people taking out their phones to film her…

A witness of the scene would affirm that Britney would have shouted incomprehensible things… however, in a video published by TMZ, we can see Britney trying to hide her face with a menu of the restaurant when she notices that a person films her while she is in discussion with a person at a service counter.

Obviously the singer seems to be upset, but nothing more!

And the noise of the dishes and the customers in the restaurant prevent from understanding the subject of her conversation…

Page Six, which also seems to think that TMZ went a little too far in its statement, reports that upon seeing the magnitude of the situation, Spears’ husband reportedly responded to the rumors on Instagram by saying:

“Don’t believe what you read online, gang!”

So, was Britney the victim of a manic episode or did she just want to be able to enjoy her evening without being filmed by all those people?

Pamela Anderson: her sex tape makes her “sick”

Recently, Pamela Anderson had to face the return of the sex tape that made scandal in 1996.

In this amateur film, we found the former star of Baywatch in full sexual romp with her ex-husband, Tommy Lee.

Reliving this, especially because of the series Pam & Tommy, broadcast on Disney +, made Pamela Anderson furious, uncomfortable and sick according to disclosures filed in the trailer of her upcoming Netflix documentary, Pamela, A Love Story.

All indications are that the popularity of the Pam & Tommy mini-series released in February 2022 really had something to do with this reaction.

By the way, has Pamela seen this series?

According to sources, she will NEVER watch this one, which is most likely not quite the truth.

That said, everything that’s come out in recent years about the former playmate, including this miniseries, has prompted her to release a documentary.

The documentary “Pamela, A Love Story” is available on Netflix on January 31.
