Prince Harry drinks tequila with Stephen Colbert!

Host Stephen Colbert gave Prince Harry a grand reception… and a shot of tequila for his appearance on The Late Show last Tuesday night.

Explaining to Harry the intense stress he’ll be under in the coming days following the release of his memoir, Spare, Colbert asked before the interview even began: Would you like a cocktail before we start?

The Late Show host then says he has one of Harry’s favorite drinks… tequila!

During the interview, Harry talks about how information about his book was leaked before the official release and explains that he is happy that people can finally understand the context of all the topics in the book heard so far, especially in the British media.

He explains that the context in which the book was written, intensely and over a period of two years, is important in understanding why he chose to speak publicly about his personal and family life.

He also says that writing the book allowed him to relive the good and bad times in his life… and that harsh memories that he had forgotten have resurfaced, including the bad treatment he received from the British press, going back to his teenage years!

You can see Harry’s interview here and the book Spare is now available in bookstores!

Will Jack Nicholson die alone and reclusive?

Will Jack Nicholson die alone and in total reclusion?

That’s what a long-time friend of the actor fears, reports Page Six.

https://twitter.com/PageSix/status/1613526556936179712

The legendary 85-year-old actor has not been seen in public for several months, and is said to be living in seclusion in his gigantic mansion in Beverly Hills, formerly owned by Marlon Brando.

Nicholson, who was regularly seen attending basketball games in Los Angeles, has not been seen there since October 2021, when he attended a Lakers game.

The situation is so serious according to several sources that Nicholson “didn’t want to face reality anymore” which would suggest the beginning of dementia.

According to Radar Online, those close to Jack “just wish he would get out of the house and tell them how […] or at least reassure people that he’s okay.”

Still, the same source reportedly said that the actor would be in touch with a few relatives including his son Ray, but that “his socializing days are long gone!”

The concerns of his loved ones began in 2021 when one of them claimed at the time that “physically he (Jack) was fine […] but his spirit was gone!”.

Jack Nicholson is considered the best actor in history by many critics and moviegoers.

200M for Dr. Dre’s catalog

Dr. Dre doesn’t need an introduction anymore, but more importantly, he doesn’t need money, because his pockets are so deep.

However, regardless of his bank account, the legendary Doctor has sold his music catalog for over $200 million, according to Variety!

Dre ‘s catalog includestwo solo albums, his share of N.W.A. artists’ royalties , his producer’s royalties and the writer’s share of his song catalog.

The offer in question reportedly does not include ownership rights to the Doctor ‘s Aftermath label (and Interscope Records).

Dre is valued at $820 million, and he is close to signing a deal with Shamrock Holdings and Universal Music Group.

According to the report, one of the founders of the legendary band N.W.A. will receive $10 million a year until the $200 million is paid in full!

Just like that, this monstrous piece of work comes a few months after Dre agreed to award $100 million to Nicole Young, his ex-wife, for the settlement of assets.

Recall that last week, Dre stopped Marjorie Taylor Greene from using his music through social networks through his lawyer Peter Paterno.

Ken Block lost his life doing what he loves most

Rally car driver Ken Block lost his life on Jan. 2, 2023, after a serious snowmobile accident that occurred at about 2 p.m. on a steep slope, where the snowmobile suddenly flipped over and landed on him.

Block, 55, co-founder of DC and racing icon, was in Utah with friends to ride his snowmobile. He actually shared photos of the “trip” on his Instagram account hours before the tragedy.

The report shared by the sheriff’s office states that Block was riding with a group, but was alone when the incident occurred. An incident that gave him no chance, he died immediately in a tragic way.

The automotive world is very saddened and affected by the loss of such a passionate man of heart as Kenneth Block, who will be incredibly missed.

Over the years, thanks to his videos and his passion for extreme sports, Block became a social media star, collecting millions of followers. Many of those followers were wearing Ken Block‘s “Monster” or “DC” colors.

Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton is one of the followers who is very saddened by the early departure of Ken Block, who lived his life to the fullest.

Block is survived by his wife Lucy and three children.

His 16 year old daughter, Lia, is following in her father’s footsteps as a pilot.

Rest in peace, Mr. Block.

Elon Musk announces he’s stepping down as Twitter CEO, but will he really leave?

After losing in a poll earlier this week, Twitter’s new CEO Elon Musk finally responded (two days later) that he would eventually exit Twitter.

But… will he really leave?

If he does leave, Musk ‘s short time at the helm of Twitter will have been tumultuous for the platform’s users and he was having a little too much fun with it… according to many!

Musk has been leading the company with some crazy comments and polls… the last poll listed was about his own place in the company.

“Should I step down as head of Twitter?,” he said, as he had in previous polls.

The poll received over 17 million votes and 57.5% of users responded yes!

Let’s remember that since his takeover of Twitter (and the many controversies that followed), several advertisers have withdrawn their ads, depriving the platform of valuable revenue (and the Blue Twitter at $8 per month, introduced by Musk, does not seem to compensate for these losses).

However, the last week has been the height of chaos for Twitter as the CEO decided to ban journalists (including major Musk critics) from the platform for rather dubious reasons! This decision created a wave of indignation and many voices were raised to denounce Musk for his practices considered harmful to the freedom of the press.

Tesla shareholders (a company that Musk seems to have abandoned in recent months) have added to the debate, accusing him of being at the origin of the fall in Tesla’s share value (with his mismanagement of Twitter).

In short, things are really not going well for the billionaire!

Finally, Musk responded to the poll, tweeting:

“I will resign as CEO as soon as I find someone foolish enough to take the job!”

As for his future involvement with the company, he said:

“After that, I’ll be content to lead the software and server teams.”

The chaos on Twitter is certainly not over…

To be continued!

Drake now owns… a 351.38 carat chain!

Drake and his jeweler Alex Moss have created a new 42-diamond engagement chain. After 14 months of waiting, Drake went to Atlanta to hold this famous chain for the first time.

Note that before the rapper arrived at his destination, the jeweler sent him photos and a video via text of this custom piece of … 351.38 carats!

Nothing less!

The channel is called Previous Engagements and this one tells “all the times Drake thought about proposing, but never did,” according to Moss’ Instagram post.

Recall that Drake ‘s discography is filled with lyrics about failed romantic relationships, which is certainly a nod to his material.

“He was in shock, as was I. We were both in shock, literally,”Moss told the Los Angeles Times regarding their reaction upon seeing the chain’s outcome.

The chain was sent to Atlanta as Drake unveiled it during a birthday concert for his bandmate Lil Baby.

It was during this performance that he flashed his new necklace.

As for the value of this singular object, we will probably never really know!

CH players visited three children’s hospitals

Montreal Canadiens captain Nick Suzuki and his teammates visited sick children at the Montreal Hospital, CHU Sainte-Justine and the Shriners Hospital on Thursday (December 8).

It has been a tradition for more than 50 years for Tricolore players to visit hospitals at the beginning of the holiday season. This year marks the 56th edition of this wonderful holiday tradition.

Let’s recall that the Canadiens were renewing this tradition this year, as it was the first time since 2019 that the players came in front of the children to get a smile.

Obviously, Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield were the favorites of the kids. In fact, Caufield believes that players should do this kind of activity more regularly.

Sean Monahan was present with his orthopedic boot, as were Mike Hoffman, Jonathan Drouin, David Savard and Carey Price, who was proudly wearing his cowboy hat.

Bella, Cara, Lauren, Karlie and Ashley: Pirelli unveils its 2023 calendar!

Pirelli presented its 2023 calendar and through it, we find renowned models, including Bella Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Karlie Kloss,Ashley Graham, He Cong, Precious Lee, Lila Moss and Adut Akech.

The concept is called Love Letters to the Muse and all the shots were taken by Australian photographer Emma Summerton.

The models are not presented with fine lingerie, but rather dressed in a very artistic way, with looks that are totally out of the ordinary and that represent different muses. A concept that Pirelli says it has a great affinity with.

14 models were photographed for this 49th edition of the calendar named “The Cal”. Each of the models has its own pseudonym, like “The Tech Savant” or “The Performer”.

Lauren Wasser, a model and athlete who had both legs amputated, has the nickname “The Athlete”.

“I am fascinated by women who do extraordinary and creative things, women who, starting with my mother, have inspired me throughout my life and career. People from whom I have learned a lot: writers, photographers, poets, actresses and directors. So my idea was to celebrate these extraordinary women and create a world in which to represent them,” said the photographer in an interview.

Remember that the Pirelli calendar first appeared in the 1960s and has evolved greatly since then.

Here is another video of the photo shoot with the models:
