Hamilton backs Wolff against the FIA

Sir Lewis Hamilton was quick to point the finger and accuse the FIA of “a real lack of responsibility” in supporting Toto’s wife Susie Wolff’s decision to lodge a complaint against the FIA.

Madame Wolff freshly reported that she had filed a complaint with the French courts after the FIA opened and abandoned an investigation in December 2023 “into an alleged breach of confidentiality”.

The investigation was prompted by an article in Business F1 magazine, which claimed that Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff benefited from information shared by his wife, who is the managing director of the all-women F1 Academy series.

Toto and Mercedes very firmly denied the allegations against them, while the other nine Formula 1 teams denied providing complaints, leading the FIA to drop this investigation.

Is this actor the next 007?

There are persistent rumors that British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson could play the role of the world’s most renowned secret agent. According to sources close to the production, he is considered the ideal choice for the iconic role of 007.

According to speculation, first reported by The Sun, then TIME, Taylor-Johnson has received an offer for this highly sought-after role, which he is said to be on the verge of accepting. Filming on this new Bond adventure is due to start this year, and at 33, the actor could be the face of the franchise for years to come, if these rumors prove true.

The actor was competing with other talented actors such as Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer) and James Norton (Bob Marley: One Love) for the role, and if confirmed, will replace Daniel Craig, who has played James Bond for over 15 years, with performances in 2006’s Casino Royale and 2021’s No Time To Die.

Taylor-Johnson has a varied acting career spanning over 20 years, with memorable roles in films such as Kick-Ass, Nocturnal Animals, Godzilla, Avengers: Age of Ultron, Tenet and Bullet Train.

Trump unable to raise $464M for his appeal

Former President Donald Trump’s legal team is struggling to find a surety to cover a US$464 million fine imposed during his civil fraud trial.

The 30 underwriters contacted to guarantee the bond, due by the end of the month, have refused to advance the required amount.

As a result, Trump’s lawyers told the court that they were unable to secure the bond needed to allow Trump to appeal, despite their best efforts. In an affidavit, Gary Giulietti, Trump’s insurance broker, said that the amount of bail required was almost impossible to obtain. Alan Garten, the Trump Organization’s general counsel, also confirmed these difficulties, calling them insurmountable.

Trump is now struggling with the conditions imposed by the underwriters, and they are insisting that the collateral be in cash rather than real estate, which the Trump Organization finds very worrying. Trump’s real estate cannot be used in this case, further complicating the situation. The ex-president’s lawyers have argued that there is only one option: the forced sale of the real estate, which would result in massive, irrecoverable losses.

Getty Images

The case was initiated by New York Attorney General Letitia Jim and tried by Judge Arthur Engoron, who added interest to the amount. The ruling declared Donald Trump, Donald Jr. and Eric liable for exaggerating Donald Trump’s assets to obtain better loans and insurance for ten years.

A major insurance company that had previously provided more than $90 million in bail for another lawsuit involving Trump, the one in which he sued E. Jean Carroll for defamation, also cannot accept real estate as collateral for bail.

Getty Images

The ex-president’s lawyers are asking an appeals court to reduce the bail amount. The Trump Organization says selling the assets would have an immediate financial impact and cause irreparable damage.

The New York Attorney General’s office opposes the request to reduce bail out of concern that Trump or his co-defendants might try to avoid trial and complicate law enforcement.

A spectacular fire destroys Cara Delevingne’s Los Angeles home

Cara Delevingne’s huge Los Angeles home was engulfed in flames, and the blaze was so massive that a cavalry of firefighters arrived on the scene to extinguish it.

No fewer than 94 firefighters (and 13 vehicles in all) were on the scene to fight what was said to be a very intense fire. In addition, no fewer than four ambulances were also on the scene.

Capture

According to TMZ sources, a 911 call was made at around 3:57 a.m. on the night of March 14-15, and once on the scene, firefighters confirmed that the fire had started from some sort of back room in the star model’s residence.

It took the firefighters no less than two hours to extinguish the flames, which had reached the attic and part of the roof, and, again according to TMZ, a few people were injured. Minor injuries were reported, including one firefighter who fell from a ladder.

Capture

Fortunately for the model and actress, however, her two cats were saved by the same firefighters!

Cara was not on site when her home was attacked by the flames.

Instead, she was in England performing at the Playhouse Theater for the week.

UFC legend saves parents from fire, then risks his life to save his dog

Mark Coleman, a former UFC star, was visiting his parents in the house where he grew up when he was suddenly awakened in the night by his Rottweiler Hammer, who smelled smoke. Coleman’s daughter (Morgan) said that a fire had started at around 4 a.m., and Coleman was quick to take action.

Coleman wasted no time in getting out of bed, and immediately headed for his parents’ bedroom to bring them to safety. Mom and Dad are safe and sound, thanks to Coleman’s prowess.

Coleman then immediately went back inside to retrieve Hammer, who hadn’t come out of the burning house. The UFC legend certainly acted like a hero, risking his life to save Hammer from the flames… a mission that ultimately failed and landed Coleman in a hospital bed.

Coleman, 59, found himself hospitalized in Ohio, fighting for his life due to severe injuries sustained during the fire… which ravaged the entire house. At one point in the coma, his daughter made it clear that her father needed 24-hour care, indicating the seriousness of the situation.

In the case of his dog Hammer, he did not survive, being swept away by the violent flames.

Important fact: Mark’s daughter is raising funds for all the expenses involved in caring for someone in the United States through a GoFundMe. The goal is to reach $50,000.

Good news at least, Mark has woken up and is responding well to tests.

Squid Game star guilty of sexual misconduct

O Yeong-su, known for his role in the hit Netflix series Squid Game, has been found guilty of inappropriate sexual behavior.

This decision by a South Korean court marks a major turning point in his career, as the actor will be absent from Squid Game’s soon-to-be-revealed second season.

In addition to his conviction by the Suwon District Court in Seongnam, the actor was given an eight-month prison sentence with two years’ probation. In addition, he is also required by the court to undergo 40 hours of treatment.

Getty Images

The judge made his decision based on the woman’s testimony, as well as her diary and the therapist’s reports after the incident. The judge noted that these accounts seemed credible and would have been difficult to invent had the actor and victim not actually experienced them.

Netflix

The actor maintains that he is innocent even though the court found him guilty, and claims that his actions were misunderstood. O Yeong-su said he plans to appeal the sentence.

Squid Game season 2 is expected to air sometime in 2024 on Netflix, without O Yeong-su.

United States and Canada take on TikTok!

As governments around the world step up surveillance, lawmakers in Canada and the U.S. are taking steps to address the national security risks of the TikTok app.

The U.S. House of Representatives has approved a proposal that requires TikTok, a Chinese company owned by ByteDance, to end its ties with the app within a specific timeframe. Otherwise, the app risks being banned in the United States. The move comes in response to growing fears that China may be using TikTok to collect data and influence operations.

TikTok, with over 170 million users in the U.S., is a global sensation, and if passed, would dramatically alter the social media landscape.

Getty Images

The Canadian government is keeping a close eye on TikTok’s activities. In September 2023, the federal Liberals launched a national security assessment, but have yet to announce their decision publicly. The move was prompted by concerns about the security and privacy of user data.

Steven Mnuchin, the former Treasury Secretary in the Trump administration, has expressed interest in leading a group of investors to buy TikTok if the bill passes.

However, the proposed sale is fraught with uncertainties due to geopolitics and TikTok’s algorithm, developed in China.

For the time being, TikTok’s fate remains undetermined in both Canada and the United States.
