What is known about the Russell Brand bailing decision?

Russell Brand is facing two additional rape and sexual assault counts in relation to two additional women, both of which are alleged to have occurred in 2009, in Westminster Magistrates’ Court on Tuesday. The comedian made an American-style video link appearance.
The Metropolitan Police’s Detective Chief Inspector Tariq Farooqi stated in December that “specially trained officers continue to support the women who have made reports, including those related to the two new charges.” Detectives urge anyone with information to contact the police or anyone who is affected by this case to come forward and speak with the Met’s investigation, which is still ongoing.
Four other women are already facing allegations of sexual offences against Brand. He was denied last year, and he will go on trial in June.
The actor was released on bail before making a second appearance at Southwark Crown Court on February 17th. On the video link, he had already been there.
He released a video statement in December of last year, the day he was charged with the new rape and sexual assault charge. You are all aware of that, a time of conflict and confusion, but I’ve discovered in my own life that an attack can bring about grace. I feel so fortunate that I have the opportunity to make amends for the numerous mistakes I’ve made over the years and the chance to make sure that others are aware of the reality of my situation and scenario. I’m also very grateful for the opportunity in my own life to participate in change, transformation, growth, and love. Brand has previously refuted the claims and claimed that all of his sexual encounters were “absolutely always consensual.”

Musician Louis Tomlinson is currently gearing up for the release of his third studio album, which will be made available to fans in a matter of days. He is “enjoyed” for this.

Assistant Celebrity and Entertainment Editor, Daniel Bird

Louis Tomlinson has issued a powerful statement. The musician, who found fame as one fifth of One Direction, will release his third studio album, How Did I Get Here? later this week and he’s struggled to contain his excitement.

Tomlinson, 34, has resisted the stereotypical boyband image and more recently found peace and security in his music. His music now focuses on the genres he enjoys and draws inspiration from bands like Oasis.

The Doncaster-based artist just announced the release of his most recent independent single, Imposter. pop song with bassline and guitar riffs that delve deeply into the listener’s soul right away. Tomlison admits to having imposter syndrome despite being one of the biggest names in the field.

But just days before the release of his upcoming album, the rocker said on X, formerly known as Twitter : “Big day today! So excited to release Imposter, sets the tone for the record! Going to have one final listen through to the album before Friday’s release. Feeling really grateful and really excited! Thank you as always for the love.”

He added, “Going to need your help over the next few days to cut through the noise,” to his 28.8 million followers in another message. Time to dedicate this record to the honor it deserves, before adding, “I want to thank each and every person who has helped me over the years. You remain with me throughout this entire record.

Without all the strength and confidence you and your team have given me, this album would never have sounded the way it does. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! What brought me here?

For the record, Louis worked in the UK countryside before visiting Costa Rica last year, pushing himself. Imposter was written in Costa Rica’s jungle, he said. It resembles the concept of identity in some ways.

“It’s probably the most melodic moment on the record, I’m really excited for the world to finally hear it!” Reflecting on his album, Tomlinson said: “I sum up it as ‘The record I always deserved to make’. My bread and butter is the honesty. I genuinely wear my heart on my sleeve, and I hope it comes through in the music. I’m still learning and getting better as a singer and a songwriter. I find it impossible to be complacent; it’s not in my vocabulary. For the first time now, I’m allowing myself to be the artist I’d always hoped to be.”

Louis said in a new interview that he became aware that occasionally one or two band members become successful, not all of them, after their respective careers ended.

He made the comment to Billboard, “That was really frightening because I was never going to put myself in that group of two ever.” However, Tomlinson has finally found happiness in the campaign trail this time around despite being open about not liking previous rounds of promotion.

He continued, “I’m] really willing to show it off, and I think it’s a really nice gesture.” However, Louis has become a lot more self-assured following his most recent outings. He continued, “I think what I love about those live experiences is that it doesn’t really leave any room for any kind of self-loathing or anything like that.”

Continue reading the article.

And I definitely struggle with that post-band, but having those live performances and performances night after night make it seem like an undeniable feeling, you know? So I just enter this record feeling fresh and renewed, like I’m feeling refreshed. It gives off a nice vibe. Louis will make a second headline tour around the world later this year.

What Place Was I In? is available on January 23 via BMG.

Victoria Beckham ‘grinded on’ Brooklyn as ‘inappropriate dance’ details emerge

By 234Radio in Entertainment News, News

https://i2-prod.ok.co.uk/incoming/article36582029.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/2_Netflixs-Beckham-UK-Premiere-Arrivals.jpg

Brooklyn Beckham’s mother Victoria Beckham allegedly nuzzled into him on his wedding day, causing his wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham to become upset.

Details about Victoria Beckham’s alleged inappropriate dancing at her son’s wedding have emerged. For her alleged actions on his big day in 2022, Brooklyn, 26, took aim at his 51-year-old mother.

Brooklyn tied the knot with Nicola Peltz in a lavish ceremony. However, despite seeming like the perfect day, Brooklyn has hit out at his mum for allegedly humiliating him.

He claimed in his vile post on Monday that his mother “hijacked” his first dance with Nicola despite weeks of planning. He wrote, “Marc Anthony called me to the stage, where my romantic dance with my wife was scheduled to be, but my mother was seated next to me in opposition to our 500 wedding guests.”

In front of everyone, she danced very inappropriately on me. In my entire life, I have never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated. We wanted to exchange our vows so that we could make brand-new wedding day memories that would not cause anxiety and embarrassment.

Details of the dance reportedly have been revealed at this time. According to a source, Victoria allegedly wrapped her arms around her eldest son before nuzzling into his neck when Marc called her on the stage. Additionally, it is said that the former singer “gave” her son.

A wedding guest told Page Six, “She was dancing with him very inappropriately.” That is the God’s truth, she learned from Nicola. Nicola ran away crying, they added. Both the Peltz and Beckham sides of the room cheered loudly.

“You have to go back down,” the friends of Nicole said. She had swollen skin on her face. She finally sat down and spent the entire evening in sadness.

And in a comment to The Sun, a pal of Victoria said the star was just “a tad tipsy and having fun”. They added that Brooklyn was “so embarrassed and his wife so humiliated and furious to have been upstaged”.

However, they claimed there was “absolutely no malice there, quite the opposite.” She has been completely broken by this. In another brutal outburst, he called out his parents rather than refuted accusations that his wife had been controlling him. He declared, “I do not want to settle with my family.”

For the first time in my life, I’m standing up for myself instead of being controlled. My parents have controlled our family’s narratives in the media for my entire life. My life was made up of performative social media posts, family events, and unauthentic relationships.

He continued, “My parents have been trying to ruin my relationship from the beginning of my wedding, and it hasn’t stopped.”

And he claimed that there were a number of issues prior to his wedding. Nicola’s dress was made in the eleventh hour despite her mother’s desire to wear it, forcing her to find a new one in the process.

My parents repeatedly pressured and bribed me into giving away my name, which would have affected my wife and our future children, before our big day.

He concluded by saying that he now anticipates moving into his wife’s home. I’m grateful for the life I chose, and I’ve found peace and relief in it every morning. We don’t want to live in a world where image, press, or manipulation are used. We only want our future families to have peace, privacy, and happiness.

Trump made many statements on US economy. Most are untrue

By 234Radio in News, World News

Donald Trump, the president of the United States, has made a number of claims about the state of the US economy.

Trump made a protracted and meandering statement to the media on Tuesday, the first anniversary of his second term in office, claiming everything from drug prices being slashed to “no inflation” in the US. The majority of the claims were erroneous in fact.

Some of his economic statements were reviewed by Al Jazeera:

There is “no inflation,” and the core inflation rate has been at 1.6 percent for the past three months.

Both of these claims are false. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), core inflation in November and December increased by 2.6 percent year over year.

Due to the longest government shutdown in US history, the month before, a core consumer price index (CPI) report was not made available.

In general, inflation increased by 2.7% over the previous year’s same period.

Drug prices under Trump’s “most favored nation” programme are down by “300, 400, 500, 600 percent”.

This is incorrect. Although the goal of the program is to lower drug prices, mathematically impossible reductions are achieved.

A product would be free if the price was 100 percent lower. Anything else would require that pharmaceutical companies would pay customers to purchase their goods.

In attente of the Supreme Court’s tariff decision:

Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to impose tariffs will be decided by a Supreme Court case that is pending. If the court rules against his administration, he claimed, the US would have to pay back the money.

This is unclear, but partially accurate. The US would need to refund some of the importers’ money in tariffs if the court decides against the administration. The government could be required to pay roughly half of the tariffs it collected, according to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in September.

Kevin Hassett, the administration’s economic adviser, has stated that if the court rejects the current plan, the administration will look into other legal options.

Joe Biden, the former president, “did not do tariffs.”

This is untrue. During the course of his administration, Bin Laden imposed numerous tariffs. He imposed 35 percent tariffs on Russian imports as part of sanctions in 2022 as a result of Moscow’s extensive invasion of Ukraine.

Biden’s policy, which was implemented during the Trump era, was increased to 14.5 percent from 8.5 percent in 2024.

He also imposed tariffs on China that year, including 50 percent on semiconductor chips, 25 percent on steel and aluminum, and 100 percent on electric cars.

More than 270, 000 bureaucrats were removed from the federal government by the Trump administration, but they are now moving to the private sector. &nbsp,

According to the BLS, the federal government has lost 277, 000 jobs since January 2025. However, data shows that the private sector, particularly those with tariff-exposed sectors, is only growing slowly.

The US economy added 50, 000 jobs in the most recent employment report. The most significant gains were made by healthcare, which added 34, 000 jobs, and food service, which added 27 000.

The US economy added 584, 000 jobs in 2025. This is significantly less than the two million created under Biden in the prior year.

In some states, gas prices start at $ 1.99 per gallon.

This is incorrect. The average price for a gallon of gas is $2.82, according to the American Automobile Association (AAA), which tracks gas prices. Oklahoma’s gas prices start at $ 2.31, which is the lowest.

More auto factories are being constructed in the US today than ever.

Oxford Economics tracks private construction expenditures for factories making transportation equipment. Nominal spending on building components for transportation equipment was down from its all-time high in 2024, according to the report.

Trump has been making these kinds of claims for almost a year. Experts in the auto industry have long claimed that these claims are exaggerated because, unlike Hyundai and Stellantis, these companies add to already-existing plants.
