Elton John left reeling as he loses his house to pop star as bet goes badly wrong

Lola Young may need additional support from Elton John because her song D’s reached number 27; however, after receiving the keys to his home, she might not be too upset at the top of the charts.

Music sensation Lola Young’s new-found friendship with Sir Elton John is in real trouble after she won his home in a bet!

His house was his if it weren’t because the icon was so confident that her song D£aler would top the charts. Elton took his own keys and recorded himself giving the 24-year-old the keys after just missing out. Although no one knows whether she’ll move into his massive mansion, the music legend is still in favor of her.

“It’s not there yet, so I’d better hurry up,” but I’m still giving you the house keys. But is it possible to stay the night before?” he stated. No sorry, it’s mine now, Lola replied. The two of them are captured in a snap before “sorry buddy” flashes up as her song plays over the top and says, “I’m sure Elton spends all day wishing his house was still his too.”

The simple act of relocating his bedroom shouldn’t get in the way. The singer of Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and Candle in the Wind described her song as “the biggest smash I’ve ever heard.” Elton tells her about the single from her upcoming album, I’m Only F***king Myself, that a track from your album, which I’m Only F**king Myself, would be the single that would be the title of the album, and that it’s called “Dealer.”

He continued, “It’s the Number 1 single if that isn’t Number 1.” My home, please. It is truly amazing. It is incredible. The biggest hit I’ve heard in a while is… The 24-year-old London-born singer and songwriter, who studied at the BRIT School, gained notoriety when she released her song Messy, which attracted both the good and the great in the music industry.

Elton praised her performance in her own video and described the hit single as “great” during the conversation. He continued, “Messy was the record that really sucked you into the stratosphere.” Because you were performing in the video and you thought, “Wow, this is a proper artist,” I loved the video.

He went on to say: “This is a real artist. This isn’t some pop star who’s doing a video of miming and so forth. This girl is unreal. I don’t want to make comparisons, but Raye is the same as you, she’s a great artist, she gives out so much of herself. What I love about you, you are there. What you see with Lola Young is what you get. “

She responded, “Thank you, Elton,” explaining what his encouraging words meant to her. I value this a lot. You are a fool. I’m so happy to be seated with you.

She continued, “I’m honestly shocked by how much has happened in my life. But there are other things, such as when you speak with someone like yours. “

She continued, “I have really managed to get out of a lot of dark things and have gone through a lot.” I appreciate having you. I’m able to do that because I’m in such a head space right now, so it can take advantage of what’s happening, the success, and everything else that music does.”

Egypt’s Sisi Pardons Activist Alaa Abdel Fattah

According to state-linked media, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi granted prominent activist Alaa Abdel Fattah a pardon on Monday after spending the better part of the past ten years in jail.

The 43-year-old British-Egyptian national, who was pardoned alongside five others, was a key figure in Egypt’s uprising in 2011 and has since been imprisoned under each successive administration.

After sharing a Facebook post about alleged torture in Egyptian jails, Abdel Fattah received a five-year sentence in December 2021 for “spreading false news.”

According to Al-Qahera News, which is connected to Egypt’s state intelligence service, Sisi pardoned “a number of convicted persons, following the constitutional and legal procedures in this regard.”

Alaa Ahmed Seif El-Islam Abdel Fattah is included in the pardon, according to the statement.

Laila Soueif, Alaa’s mother, activist and academic, just ended a 10-month hunger strike calling for his release.

Following a partial strike in solidarity with his mother that started in March, Abdel Fattah has been on a hunger strike since September.

“My brother has been pardoned by President Sisi!” I’m currently heading to the prison with Mum andamp to check on when and where Alaa will be released. Sanaa Seif, Abdel Fattah’s sister, posted on X.

“I can’t believe we’ve got our lives back” she continued.

Shortly after the pardon, his other sister, Mona Seif, wrote, “My heart is going to stop,” Seif said.

Authorities insisted that Abdel Fattah’s sentence would come to an end in September 2024, but they disregarded his remand period.

All procedures have been finalized, according to Tarek al-Awady, a member of Egypt’s presidential pardons committee, and the prison is awaiting the implementation of the presidential decree.

According to Awady, who spoke to AFP in response to a significant prison complex on the outskirts of Cairo, “He will be released immediately from Wadi al-Natrun Prison.”

Pardon Petition:

Following Sisi’s earlier this month’s order to examine a petition filed by the state-affiliated National Council for Human Rights to pardon a number of people, including Abdel Fattah, the pardon comes on Monday.

Abdel Fattah was removed from the country’s terrorism list after a Cairo criminal court found no evidence linking him to the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood organization, according to a court decision.

Abdel Fattah’s case has been repeatedly brought up by the British government with Egyptian authorities, even in discussions with Sisi and Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

A panel of experts from the UN called for his immediate release after finding his detention to be unlawful and arbitrary in May.

UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Turk urged Egypt’s authorities to end a practice that allows for protracted arbitrary detention of government critics last month.

Prior to the end of a detainee’s remand period, the “rotation” practice frequently involves filing new charges against the detainee.

According to Turk, the practice “appears to be used to circumvent the laws governing individual liberty, due process, and equality before the law.”

Sisi’s administration has pardoned several prominent dissidents, including Mohamed al-Baqer, Abdel Fattah’s lawyer, and has released hundreds of detainees since 2022.

Despite receiving a pardon, hundreds of other politicians and activists are still imprisoned.

Chelsea’s Palmer Likely To Avoid Groin Surgery – Maresca

After being forced off during Saturday’s defeat at Manchester United, England international Enzo Maresca is hopeful Cole Palmer won’t need groin surgery.

Palmer has only started two Premier League games this year and only played 21 minutes for Chelsea before slipping to the sidelines.

Maresca told reporters: “The medical staff, they didn’t mention surgery. They asked if the 23-year-old would need an operation on an injury that has been bothering him for a while.

INCLUDE   In Battle for the Ballon d’Or Glory, Rembele and Yamal compete.

I’m not sure if it will happen in the next few days or the following weeks, but let me be honest: I don’t know.

He made a lot of effort to try to play the game on Saturday. He passed the test, and he was unsatisfied. But he aspired to support his team-mates and participate in that kind of game.

We made the decision to change it because it was painful, sadly. And it’s more determined by day, week, week, game, and week, rather than by day, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, week, and then we make our decisions. ”

Romeo Lavia and Benoit Badiashile are both expected to miss Chelsea’s League Cup third-round match against third-tier Lincoln on Tuesday, with Palmer also missing.

Maresca likely will pick a number of young academy players, but the Italian acknowledged it was a risky choice because it had the potential to cause a cup debacle against a top-flight League One side.

Prince Harry ‘red with anger’ over Meghan Markle’s story of meeting late Queen

A body language expert said that there was one moment that seemed to enrage Harry after the release of their tell-all Netflix series.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have certainly divided the public since quitting royal life in 2020, but perhaps one of their most controversial moments came following the release of their Netflix docuseries in 2022.

In the second episode of the show titled Harry & Meghan, the duchess recalled her first meeting with the late Queen, which took place shortly after she started dating the prince in 2016.

Meghan claimed she had not been aware of her meeting with the British monarch until “moments before” and that she had not anticipated it.

Meghan first met my grandmother, according to Harry, who was the family’s first female. She “had no idea what it all contained.” So she experienced a little shock in the system.

Meghan recalled that while they were on their way to meet the Queen, Prince Harry asked her if she knew how to curtsy. “We were in the car, driving and he’s like: ‘You know how to curtsy right?’ and I just thought it was a joke,” the duchess admitted.

Prince Harry then acknowledged the difficulty of explaining the royal protocol to his American girlfriend, telling the camera: “How do you explain that to people? How do you explain that you bow to your grandmother? And that you would need to curtsy, especially to an American. That’s weird.”

Meghan then compared the protocol to “Medeval Times, Dinner and Tournament,” an American dinner theater with staged medieval-style games like jousting and Meghan realized that she would need to curtsy to the Queen.

Meghan then performed a theatrical deep curtsy while seated next to Harry on the coach, sweeping her arms wife and bowing her head dramatically.

“That’s how it was. Like, I curtzed as though I were, Meghan continued as she made her impression. I’m pleased to meet you, Your Majesty.

Some viewers, who viewed Meghan’s actions as disrespectful, did not like the situation. And Harry was also less than impressed, in the opinion of a body language expert.

Jess Enrique Rosas said at the time, “The first part of Harry’s reaction tells me that he knew what was coming,” referring to the Duke’s apparent discomfort. Even though Meghan speaks quickly and joyfully, he still has no connection to or empathy for him. Notice what happens to his throat when he is swallowing because he is taking it seriously and possibly even yawning.

The expert also outlined Prince Harry’s “contempt” at Meghan’s comments, noting that his face flushed as she performed the exaggerated bow. “He is looking at Meghan and he displays contempt. A split second after that, he looks away and presses his jaw,” the body language expert explained.

“You can see that he feels ashamed or angry,” he said, “but the cheeks, the nose bridge, the temples, and the cheeks are much redder.

“I’m going to explain to you why this is covert anger rather than Harry being ashamed. He would have grinned a little more or [had] a nervous laughter if he had been ashamed.

‘Brilliant’ Netflix thriller leaves fans ‘on edge’ with its unpredictable storyline

A Netflix fan has urged people to watch a 2025 thriller that has recently been added to the platform – but while she raves about its storyline, others have shared how depressing it is

A Netflix user is urging all subscribers to watch a “hard-to-predict” thriller that many are overlooking when scrolling through the platform. Elisha, known on social media as @elisha. fm, has hailed the film Night Comes Away as a “brilliant movie” – insisting it deserves your attention.

Helmed by Benjamin Caron and featuring Vanessa Kirby, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Zack Gottsagen, the IMDb synopsis states: “Risking everything to secure a future for herself and her brother, Lynette sets out on a dangerous odyssey, confronting her own dark past over the course of one propulsive night.”

Discussing the 2025 film, Elisha remarked: “This film had me on the edge of my seat. Imagine you’ve got 24 hours to raise $25,000 to save your family.

“Lynette, played by Vanessa Kirby, is going through it. Her family is struggling with the cost of living crisis, and I know a lot of people are going through that in real life.

“Her family is facing eviction, so she’s trying to do everything she can to save their home – and she goes on this rampage in 24 hours to try to raise the money.”

Avoiding any spoilers, she concluded: “I highly recommend this film.”

While some viewers echoed her enthusiasm for the picture, others slated its conclusion and deemed it too “depressing” to endure until the credits rolled.

One viewer commented: “I can see people misunderstanding this so much. Anyone who has ever actually struggled in life will really get this film. It’s an incredibly difficult and mentally draining situation.”

Another chimed in: “The movie was just OK, but Vanessa Kirby was amazing in it! One of the best actresses today.”

A third shared: “I watched it because this movie is trending at number 4 today on Netflix. I liked the story – but not the ending.”

Yet another added: “Everyone’s take is pretty interesting. I couldn’t finish it; I thought it was massively depressing. Maybe because I live in the city it’s filmed in, I don’t know.”

Over on IMDb, one fan said: “This is one of those films. No, it’s not glossy – it’s meant to be grim and low-budget. Their lives are hard, and the tone reflects that.

“The people complaining that her spiral is unrealistic have clearly never been truly desperate for long enough. A few quibbles, but overall a movie that is far better than the rating suggests.”

Another viewer added: “It felt real. It certainly was no Hollywood story – and certainly no Hollywood ending.
