POP Underwear will give to people in need

One of the designers of the clothing and underwear company POP Underwear, Vahiné Lefebvre, tells us that the company has taken the initiative to help people in need this holiday season!

Indeed, it is on her Instagram that the entrepreneur announced that she and her team were going to help people in need by giving underwear to young people in centers and collecting toys and warm clothes that they will then distribute!

“(…) I told the girls about my idea… we were looking for a way to help, so what we’re going to do is we’re going to go and take a lot of underwear to a youth center in need, because I hear they really don’t have a lot of underwear so we’re going to go and take a lot of underwear (…) that’s thing number one. Secondly, we thought we could collect all the warm clothes for the winter, boots, coats for adults and children, and toys and we will distribute them in the centers”, said Vahiné to explain her steps!

To contribute, you have to go to 55 Louvain Street between 9am and 7pm on December 19th and 20th to donate clothes and toys that will then be distributed by the POP Underwear team!

Remember that it is also possible to do your part in another way by offering a donation to the Guignolée des médias, or to any other organization!

Has Porsche become the worst car brand?

According to information gathered by Warrantywise which has earned a reputation as the most reliable extended warranty provider in the UK, Porsche is the least reliable brand in the world!

Porsche received the lowest score with a total of 35.1 out of 100. To arrive at this result, Warrantywise relies on a multitude of data, including thenumber of defects, the cost of repairs and the time it takes to repair them.

Behind Porsche is another major brand, Land Rover (40.2/100).

Third place goes to Jaguar with a score of 48.2 out of 100.

The table shows a number of high-end brands, which seems to demonstrate that the purchase price does not always justify the quality of the product.

Porsche, Land Rover, Jaguar, Audi, BMW, Mercedes and Volvo are all cars that border on mediocrity according to this study.

Among the more “popular” brands on our side, in North America, we find BMW (7th place) and Mitsubishi (10th place).

Does your car make it into the Top 10?

Adele: Her Las Vegas trip sends her to therapy

Adele confided in her fans in the middle of one of her shows in Las Vegas, saying she needed to talk regularly to her therapist to help her cope with the pressure she puts on herself for her residency in the city of vice.

The superstar also revealed that she had started therapy in the midst of her difficult divorce.

Indeed, we can hear the singer, in a video posted on Twitter and reported by the New York Post, launch:

“I started therapy again, because I went a few years without […] and I needed to start over.”

“[…] There’s something about performing in front of the public that terrifies me and fills me with dread,” she later admits.

At the same time, she explains that she used her therapist up to five times a day (!) during her divorce in 2019.

Recall that Adele has just started again her three-month residency in Las Vegas, which she had abruptly interrupted last January, creating a huge wave of reactions.

No doubt the pressure is on for Adele right now.

Fortunately, she seems to be well surrounded to face this pressure.

Oh my Wonder Woman! Major changes in the DC universe!

Reports state that the future of Wonder Woman, Black Adam and Superman is placed in the “uncertain” box.

The pair in charge of the DC movie line, James Gunn and Peter Safran, are set to make a big announcement, multiple sources report.

According to what is circulating, the script of Wonder Woman 3 would have been rejected by the duo. The script would no longer fit the plan for this series. But nothing indicates that the character is dead for all that…

All indications are that the new leadership at DC Studios, which includes Gunn, Saffron, Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy, are seriously considering getting rid of the past entirely, which would put the Justice League era on the chopping block.

Of course, this change in direction could signal the end for Aquaman, a role played by Jason Momoa. After Lost City, which will be released in December 2023, Aquaman may not return.

The same goes for the sequel to Superman, played by the excellent Henry Cavill.

We can’t rule out the nebulous future of Black Adam, played by Dwayne The Rock Johnson, when it’s unlikely that the film will get a sequel.

All in all, the brouhaha about DC indicates that the box would seek to build something similar to Marvel, that is, stories that intertwine and offer continuity.
