Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna split again just weeks after reuniting

The Kardashians are known for having enviable wardrobes and business affairs alongside their dramatic romantic lives. However, one family member seems to have experienced a romantic snooze before Christmas.

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna have rekindled their relationship. Reality TV stars have a storied and long-lasting romantic relationship that dates back to January 2016 (see below).

Kardashians star Rob, 38, and model and rapper Blac, 37, who is also known as Angela White, 37, welcomed their daughter Dream in November 2016 after getting engaged to their son. Fans were unsure that the couple’s explosive split in 2017 would ever be resolved.

However, as rumors about the duo’s reconciliation grew, it appeared as though hell had frozen over. Angela herself admitted to being “person” with her former partner back in October, which fueled the rumors.

Cut to Christmas Eve, Eve, however, and it appeared whatever romance had been bubbling away had turned cold. Taking to Instagram hours before Christmas, Chyna shared a stoic image of herself staring out into the night while squatting in the street.

As her year came to an end, the star announced the end of any romantic endeavors by draped her shocking lime-colored hair around her shoulders and dressed completely in black. She continued, “You knew it, You and I,” while adding, “Guess whose ending the year single.”

Angela’s supporters quickly rallied around her. “Protection of that energy!” was a phrase. I can’t be giving it to everyone. Lastly, one that was typed as “Single &amp, Peaceful” alongside an emoji face that smiled. Another person remarked, “It’s good to be single.”

She revealed her plans last year to prevent the public from seeing her daughter Dream. After the youngster had initially shared a clip of music with her on social media, she made a statement.

The actress quickly responded, “It is no song. You can’t stream it, and you can’t do anything else. Not a single song is released, though. The proud mother, however, remarked that the musical talent experiment she had insisted on.

She stated, “Dream is just, she’s learning different things about herself, and I think this is just one of the things.” Angela revealed in the same interview that she had asked her daughter if she wanted more siblings, which gave a very blunt response.

She said, “I believe I once said something to Dream, like, “Drew, would you want a little brother or sister?” And Dream was like, “No.” She’ll say, “Well, I might want a little brother, so that he’ll be really nice to me.”

And surprisingly, she revealed that she was thinking about having more surgeries in the future to increase her family size. She claimed for the news that having our children would be the only time we’ll need surgery again. The only procedure is the two C-sections that I actually had.

Rob also provided an update on his relationship status earlier this year. He stated in a podcast interview in July, “I just talk to people… There are times when I feel like I have too much energy.

He explained. I don’t want to be like that because I’m talking to too many people. I’m trying to set a good example, and I have a daughter. I don’t let my daughter meet my daughter because I don’t bring any girls into the house. But since she was a baby, I’ve always been that.

He continued, “I’ve been single for eight years, and she’s eight years old.” I’ve dated and other things, but I’ve never taken seriously or wanted to. All I’m interested in is dreams. I’m probably too strict with that because I probably should have fun and enjoy my life, and I still enjoy it because I don’t care to date anyone.

French Empire: Civilising Mission

What does the French Empire’s strategy for assimilation today mean and how it was achieved through language, education, and cultural assimilation.

France’s empire was built through language, education, and cultural influence, not just armies and violence. This movie explores how assimilation evolved from being a form of rule and resistance.

The mission “civilisatrice,” a philosophy that promoted colonial societies through education, administration, and the French language, was at the heart of French colonial rule. In reality, this system sought to reshape the identities, loyalties, and cultures of colonized people while maintaining strict political and economic control. As powerful as armies, the courts, bureaucracies, and legal systems evolved into empire tools.

The documentary demonstrates how colonial governments operated on the ground through case studies in Algeria, Indochina, and West Africa. The war broke out in Algeria as a result of colonial colonialism and widespread oppression. Education and bureaucracy coexisted with exploitation and nationalist resistance in Indochina. In West Africa, indirect rule and language policy transformed social hierarchies and governance.

This episode examines how resistance movements forced France to confront the contradictions at the heart of its empire, challenging the promise of civilization. French politics, culture, and identity were reshaped by anticolonial struggles, intellectual movements, and armed uprisings that not only weakened imperial rule but also changed.

French colonial strategies are also positioned in a more contemporary context in the documentary. The United States projects influence more through soft power in the modern world than through a formal empire. American values, lifestyles, and narratives are widely circulated through Hollywood films, television shows, and digital platforms, influencing cultural perceptions in ways that evoke earlier imperial projects. While simultaneously, US dominance in higher education, academic publishing, and institutional standards helps define how knowledge is valued, taught, and legitimized worldwide.

Additionally, it makes explicit connections between contemporary and French colonialism. The colonial systems used to classify, discipline, and extract have a deep foundation in contemporary debates over language, immigration, secularism, and inequality. Many contemporary state institutions, educational trends, and economic relationships are resembling those created before the empire.

The Grinch Cindy Lou Who child star now 25 years after iconic Christmas classic

Actress and singer Taylor Momsen, who played Cindy Lou in The Grinch, shares her delight in reuniting with her “mean and hairy and smelly” co-star Jim Carrey during a magical Christmas reunion.

Family festive favourite, The Grinch, produced one of the 2000’s most prominent stars – and she’s still a regular feature on our screens today.

The live-action festive film stars Jim Carrey as the titular green grouch and draws from Dr. Seuss’s timeless 1957 children’s tale. The story unfolds in the magical village of Whoville, where its cheerful residents are busily preparing for their Christmas festivities.

Taylor Momsen starred as Cindy Lou Who when she was just seven years old. Now, 25 years on, she became a gothic queen bee in Gossip Girl and ventured into the music world, becoming a rockstar in her own right.

Despite working on the film a quarter of a century ago, Momsen still believes Jim Carrey’s Grinch is “sweet”, as the memory of the Christmas classic is still fresh.

She first met Carrey on the set of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Momsen told PEOPLE that the whole ordeal was “absolutely insane, kismet, universally aligned, mind-blowing and amazing”.

Now 32 years old, the actress reunited with Carrey, 63, on stage at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony on November 8.

Momsen shared that just the sight of him “was the most wonderful thing that could have possibly happened. The crazy thing is that he was the same guy. I didn’t know what to expect because it’s been 25 years.”

She added: “When we actually saw each other, hugged and embraced, it was like this overwhelming, overwhelmingly warm feeling of “I know you like that”.

The singer also claimed that Carrey “felt like home — it’s just the most accurate way to describe it”.

The Grinch is known to find acceptance in Cindy Lou, who famously stated: “I know he’s mean and hairy and smelly. His hands might be cold and clammy, but I think he’s actually kinda sweet”.

After finding lifelong fame playing fashion ‘It girl’ Jenny Humphries in the eternally watched New York drama, Gossip Girl, Momsen’s new single was something she “resisted [from doing] for a really long time”.

She concluded that “blood, sweat, and tears” went into the festive jingle, a product 25 years in the making and that her current happiness comes from all the “joy and smiles from all the responses” shared.

“I’m so glad that people are loving it and that I can share a piece of myself in this full circle way. It’s Christmas magic in its best form. I love it”.

Ex-poker player Bord is preferred Sheff Wed bidder

According to BBC Sport, former professional poker player James Bord has been chosen as the preferred bidder for Sheffield Wednesday.

The Owls have been in charge of Dejphon Chansiri’s household for ten years, ending in October.

The troubled Championship club’s administrators announced on Wednesday that a deal had been struck with a potential buyer.

Before claiming a $4.3 million (£3.18 million) poker win, the London-born Bord began his career with the gambling houses Starlizard and Smartodds.

He was an advisor to COH Sports after its acquisition of Sheffield United in the summer, but he now has no connection to the Owls’ rivals, and he now runs the data company Short Circuit Science, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) for sports analytics.

Bord also owns shares in Bulgarian club Septemvri Sofia and Spanish Segunda Division side Cordoba CF, both of which operate under the name Park Bench SFC LLC.

For almost a year, Bord, a Las Vegas native, and partner Evan Sofer have owned Dunfermline. He was present for his first game at home over the weekend, which was a 3-2 defeat to Ayr United.

It’s not known at this time whether Bord’s consortium will buy Wednesday, who are currently at the bottom of the Championship table with -9 points owed, or whether it will be affiliated with Park Bench SFC LLC.

Joint administrator Paul Stanley stated in the Owls’ statement on Wednesday that the decision to proceed with a preferred bidder had been made “after extensive financial, legal, and forensic due diligence, supported by specialist advisors.”

The statement continued, “That work has advanced significantly since the early stages of the process, and it has included a thorough analysis of funding sources, ownership structure, and governance.”

The consortium “also brings existing experience in football ownership, including majority and minority interests in clubs operating within regulated league systems,” the statement stated.

Mike Ashley, an ex-Newcastle owner, and former CEO of American aviation David Storch are two other bidders for the club.

Tom Costin, a shareholder in Le Havre, joins Storch in his bid for Mexican club Cancun FC, who is an investor in Blue Crow Sports Group, a multi-club football ownership and investment platform with controlling stakes in French club Le Havre.

There were reportedly only about 10 parties left when the initial stage of the takeover process was completed on November 21.

Analysis of “mixed reaction and many questions”

BBC Radio Sheffield’s Rob Staton

Supporters have had a mixed response to this news online.

There is a feeling at Bramall Lane that Bord’s consulting at Sheffield United wasn’t successful, and it has a negative effect on the Blades’ chaotic summer, which has resulted in a difficult season just months after they were so close to achieving Premier League promotion.

Who is funding this offer financially? Beyond the anticipated preference for an analytical approach to recruitment, what is the plan? Do they have the ability to identify signings that can be used as assets?

Some people, on the other hand, believe that the analytics at least provide a plan, and that the consortium’s involvement with other clubs at least provides some experience.

After a period of rumors and rumors, some people are happy that the process has ended.

Timothée Chalamet shares his passion for 1 particular region of the UK — it’s not London

Timothee Chalamet, a famous actor from Hollywood, admitted to having a “comfort” habit before going to bed and that he likes to live in the British countryside.

Timothée Chalamet has disclosed a soothing bedtime ritual he enjoys – and it centres entirely on the Cotswolds. During an interview with BBC Radio 2’s Scott Mills this week, the Wonka and Dune star expressed his passion for the British countryside, particularly this picturesque region.

In a clip available on the official BBC Radio 2 TikTok account, he explained: “You drive through the British countryside, it’s amazing. The air is so fresh here. You know, I’ll go to sleep watching little house tours of the Cotswolds. That’s not even a joke man.

Watching house tours of the Cotswolds or short 4K walking videos is what I find to be comfortable. You walk around all kinds of cute little towns while it’s raining, and Sunday roasts are served there. Simply put, it sounds fantastic.

Scott responded, as Timothée’s face lit up with a broad grin: “You love that don’t you? Look at his little face!”.

The pair then discussed the distinctly British place names found across the UK, with the radio host recommending the Hollywood actor visit Chipping Norton, a market town close to where David and Victoria Beckham have settled, reports Gloucestershire Live.

Timothée joked that he could easily call Britain home, saying, “That’s where I’ll be… ” We’re getting you back for the 1700s, or 1776, if you call me a real estate colonialist.

He wouldn’t be the first celeb to call the Cotswolds home, though.

The area already boasts a glittering array of famous residents, including David and Victoria Beckham, Elizabeth Hurley, Kate Moss, Simon Cowell, and Princess Beatrice.

As GloucestershireLive reported earlier this year, international stars like Ellen DeGeneres and her husband, Portia de Rossi, have been drawn to its allure.

Savills Estate Agents in Banbury, the sales director at Nicholas Rudge, provided some insight into why this picturesque area has become a hotspot for famous people.

In a Hello! interview He continued, “The Cotswolds has become incredibly fashionable because money has poured out of London.” Because it is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the area is secure, civilized, protected, and not overdeveloped.

“If you come from a Georgian or Victorian house in London but you grew up in the country, there’s this romantic image of pubs with fires and long walks with dogs, and that’s exactly what the Cotswolds offers.

Kate Moss can be bumped into in Thyme, and you can see everyone. I think a lot of people respect their ability to simply get on with their lives.
