Kelly Osbourne’s unreserved endorsement of Ozempic stands out in the midst of many celebrities’ non-saying. It also contrasts with the warnings of her mother, Sharon Osbourne, who shared the drug’s side effects, including nausea and drastic weight loss.

Indeed, Sharon Osbourne expressed her concerns about Ozempic, warning against its use during her appearance on The Talk. She had to discontinue its use due to significant side effects she personally experienced during this period.

Despite Sharon Osbourne’s warnings and her own negative experiences, Kelly Osbourne brushed off criticism of the Ozempic trend, attributing it to envy and the drug’s high cost, estimated at between $1,300 and $1,000 a month.

She claimed that those who criticize the Ozempic trend do so out of desire or frustration at not being able to use it themselves!

Wow…

Both Boy George and Tracy Morgan claimed to have used Ozempic in their weight loss efforts.

Trump ordered to pay $355M in civil fraud trial

The news is in. Former President Donald Trump has been ordered to pay $355 million (USD) at the end of his high-profile civil trial for fraud involving him and his company, the Trump Organization, as well as his son Eric, among others.

This is a heavy sentence for Donald Trump and his businesses, since the ruling could place him in serious financial difficulties.

It is a powerful verdict for the prosecution and for those who want to see Trump and his cronies held to account like all citizens, despite his status as a former president.

The Trump clan, meanwhile, described the verdict and sentence as a serious injustice, via a spokeswoman for the Republican presidential candidate’s legal team in 2024.

Alexey Navalny’s death sparks outrage around the world

The untimely death of Alexey Navalny, often described as Russia’s most ardent critic, sent shockwaves around the world and a wave of indignation. Navalny died in a Russian colony inside the Arctic Circle. According to the Russian Prison Service, he was 47 years old.

Prison officials said Navalny fell ill after a walk on Friday, and lost consciousness almost instantly. Navalny could not be saved despite rapid intervention by medical staff and intensive attempts at resuscitation. The authorities announced the opening of an investigation into the exact cause of death.

Mr. Navalny’s death, which was revealed just one day after he appeared in good health via video link during a court appearance, has aroused the suspicions of his supporters and observers around the world.

International reaction was swift and severe. France condemned Mr. Navalny’s death, calling it the price to be paid for resisting Russian oppression. Norway’s foreign minister held the Russian authorities responsible. White House officials and U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed deep concern, describing Navalny’s death as a glaring tragedy that reflects the weakness and decadence at the heart of the system built by Mr. Putin.

Alexey Navalny had been an irritant to the Kremlin for more than a decade.

He was serving a 19-year sentence for charges that were widely dismissed as political. His bold denunciations of Putin’s alleged personal wealth evolved into a broader campaign to free Russia from Putin’s yoke, positioning him as an icon of hope for the future of democracy in Russia.

Getty Images

Alexey Navalny’s death comes just a month before important elections are due to be held in Russia, and there is no opposition to Mr. Putin.

In 2018, Navalny was nearly killed in a nerve agent attack linked to Russia’s FSB. After returning from Germany in 2021 and convalescing, Navalny was immediately taken into custody, with a prison sentence that his supporters see as an attempt by the Kremlin to permanently silence him.

Getty Images

Human rights activists express dismay at the harsh punishments meted out to Mr. Navalny, including the excessive use of solitary confinement. Even behind bars, his unwavering activism continued until his death.

It remains to be seen what the consequences of Navalny’s death will be, but this event represents a turning point for the Russian political opposition, as well as for the way in which international opinion perceives Russian politics under Vladimir Putin.

We now know the date of Trump’s criminal trial

The New York State Court is preparing to begin criminal court proceedings relating to allegations of bribery in a case involving Donald Trump, with jury selection scheduled for March 25.

Donald Trump’s legal troubles are gathering momentum, and this trial is of historic significance as the first criminal prosecution of a former U.S. president.

Manhattan State Court Judge Juan Merchan denied the former president’s motion to dismiss, paving the way for this historic trial. Trump was indicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records.

The charges assert that these acts were part of an elaborate scheme to conceal extramarital affairs.

The indictment claims that Trump made payments to Michael Cohen, his former lawyer. These payments were made to silence claims by Stormy and Karen McDougal that Trump had had an affair with them. Trump vehemently rejects these allegations. According to the indictment, payments to Daniels and McDougal were disguised as legal fees, including $130,000 for Daniels.

And that’s the real problem.

Getty Images

Falsifying business records is considered a Class E misdemeanor in New York and carries a maximum sentence of 4 years. If Trump is found guilty, given that this case was brought by the state, he will not be allowed to pardon himself in 2024 if he wins the presidential election.

Despite these legal problems, Donald Trump remains a serious contender for the Republican nomination for the 2024 presidential election.

According to some of the polls, he is the favorite against President Joe Biden.

In many key states, Mr. Trump is tied with or ahead of Mr. Biden.

Getty Images

Judge Merchan’s decision to pursue the case comes at a time of intense activity for Mr. Trump. He claims that his opponents are trying to undermine his comeback by bringing charges against him.

From March 25, then, the jury selection process begins, while the world will closely follow the progress of this historic court case, marking a new chapter in American legal and political history.

But first, let’s see how the Trump clan fares against prosecutor Fani Willis in Georgia… but that’s another story.
