Joel Dommett’s craziness surrounding the London Marathon’s 2025 season has caused chaos as he ran the risk of resigning from the race. The 39-year-old Masked Singer host was laced up and ready to go on Sunday morning as he joined a flurry of runners from across the country competing in the renowned annual race.

Joel’s busy schedule for the day, which included launching the marathon just after performing in Leeds, was shared by him before he set off. The TV star planned to leave at 9 a.m. the following morning after a sold-out show on Saturday night.

Joel had to leave for his young son Wilde in three hours to attend his race in September 2023 along with his 36-year-old wife Hannah Cooper. However, Joel’s lapses on the way around the capital caused a spanner to be thrown in the mix.

When the TV host arrived in Canary Wharf, which was about halfway through the run, he was spotted requiring assistance. As he continued along the route, two other people spotted him being held up.

As Joel began to walk, his speed dramatically decreased as he wore a vest that clearly showed the charity he was supporting, Brain Tumour Support. He was scheduled to finish the race in three hours, but after seven hours he was told to expect to do so.

In the end, Joel completed the race in 6 hours, 3 minutes, and 27 seconds. He appeared winced as he left the marathon’s setting while posing with a medal in hand and a cheerful smile.

Later, the actor planned an ice bath at 3 p.m. and was scheduled to start filming a project at 5:45 p.m., with his shorter running time likely having an impact on his plans. Joel had urged fans to donate to the charity he had chosen prior to the race.

I’m attempting to run a sub-3 hour London Marathon this year before I’m 40 years old, he wrote on his donation page. I’m attempting to raise money and raise awareness for brain tumor support.

After supporting my wife Hannah after her mother was diagnosed with a brain tumor, he went on to explain the details of the charity. Thank you so much for everything that you can donate.

Joel and McFly drummer harry Judd posed for photos before the race, sharing a photo of themselves getting ready to compete together. “HerE WE GOOOOOOOO! ” the presenter remarked. Have fun with @harryjudd with this dude.

Some fans expressed concern that Joel appeared to have hit a stumbling block during the run. One fan wrote in the comments section of his Instagram post: “Lost your tracking at mile 15. Hope you finished OK.”

Another fan, who was also tracking the star, wrote, “What happened Joel! After 15 miles, your chip failed to recognize anything. “I’m hoping you’re okay,”

Harry had been successfully raising money for the Children’s Trust before beginning the challenge. He had raised more than $100,000. Before the race even began, he also used social media.

Dizzee Rascal ditches fame and makes huge career change as plasterer

During the lockdown, Diggee Rascal revealed that he chose to retrain as a plasterer and that he was not recognized by his fellow students until the course was over.

During lockdown, Dizzee Rascal re-trained as a plasterer.

He has five No.1 singles under his belt but it seems Dizzee Rascal felt the need to explore a new career path, while during the pandemic. Dizzee has now that he signed up to train as a plasterer during lockdown.

The 40-year-old rapper explained why he spent £1,495 on lockdown to learn a new skill and quickly rose to fame as a well-known grime artist among his peers at the height of his fame.

After finishing the course, Dizzee, who is known as Dylan Mills, received a certificate certifying that he is a qualified plasterer.

The Kent-based Able Skills Construction Training program trained the music artist. He recently stated to Fix Radio, “I did a plastering course for however long.” I received the certificate and everything, but I forgot how to do it.

He continued, “Yes, for some reason I felt like I needed to learn to do things during the pandemic.” It was wicked because of its sizeable skills.

You’d think he would be easily recognized given his high profile as a rapper. However, it appears that some of the course’s participants didn’t realize who he was until the very end.

He continued, “Toward the end, there were a couple of dudes I’ve been with for weeks.” They responded with “Hey, my God, it’s you, hey man, he’s rich, and he’s famous.” When they clocked it, right at the end.

As he returned to the stage last year as part of a UK tour, it appears as though his interest in plastering was clearly a hobby rather than a career change. This marked the 15th anniversary of Tongue n Cheek, his studio album, was released.

Following the release of Boy in Da Corner, Dizzee made his debut in the UK music scene in 2003.

Speaking to the Mirror last year, Dizzee opened up about why having a hefty bank balance isn’t important to him. He explained: “If I’m honest, you learn to appreciate it as you go along. It’s harder in the music industry, it’s easier in some ways and harder in some ways.

I appreciate the work I put in when I was younger. I kept working through my first album until I was 18 when I first heard it, and I’m grateful now. Fans have been a constant source of support for me for a long time. Although it sounds like an anticlimax, I just get on with it and keep going.

He said, “You can’t argue 20 years since my first album and the two years I spent underground,” as he discussed the changes in the music industry. The game “every few years, the game changes,” Diggee continued. He continued, “At this point, I’m not even paying attention to how much money I get from the music.”

“That’s the big thing for today, I’m just really pleased that I’ve got the fan engagement,” said one fan. “I love the live shows, especially around the UK; I get to see parts of the country that you would never get to see other than from a show. Not for the money, I’d accept some festivals just to see that region of the country.

He continued, “The one thing about live performances is that you bring the music to life” and that his live performances “inspire them to be rappers or performers” as well. I was one of the first live shows some kids saw after the pandemic, he continued.

However, Dizzee, who frequently avoids the media, said: “At the beginning, I never wanted to be out there; I remember not wanting to go to my first video shoot, I didn’t want to be in it. I made it clear that not being in it made sense, but I’ve always wanted to let the music do the talking.

I didn’t take away from that because I hadn’t engaged in excessive antics outside of it. He acknowledges that some musicians also enjoy playing the game.

Marceau Baum-Gertner dead: Kim Kardashian robbery suspect dies weeks before trial

Just weeks before he was scheduled to go on trial for allegedly having a role in the Kim Kardashian robbery, Marceau Baum-Gertner passed away. The suspected “gate” of Kardashian’s millions of pounds of stolen goods, which were taken while she was detained in her private Paris apartment at gunpoint, was Baum-Gertner, who was detained.

The suspect, who was referred to as Nez Râpé, or “rough diamond,” had already been convicted of robbery and having a history of stealing goods, and allegedly had been threatened by other underworld figures prior to his death.

According to a source who spoke to the Mail Online, Mr. Baum-Gertner lived in Paris and regularly reported to the police while being released on bail following his arrest eight years ago for the Kim Kardashian robbery. His name was included in the defendants’ list for the trial, and he expressed his excitement at the court’s decision to remove his name.

“This was until he passed away suddenly on March 6 in Paris’s 10th arrondissement. In response to the widespread publicity surrounding the Kardashian jewelry, criminals are known to have threatened him with threats. He was suspected of liaising with mafia gangs from all over the world.

Eight days after Baum-Gertner’s death, Baum-Gertner was the only defendant named as the fourth in the case, but the trial is scheduled to start in Paris on April 28 and May 23.

After being robbed during Paris Fashion Week in October 2016, Kim Kardashian will fly over from Los Angeles to attend the trial. The reality TV star was bound, gagged, and locked in a bathroom as masked men robbed more than £7.6 million worth of jewelry during the harrowing crime.

The mother of four was staying at a posh apartment in the 8th arrondissement of Paris when, on October 3, five men dressed as police officers gained access to the residence after verbally and physically assaulting a concierge at gunpoint. After her bodyguard had left for the night, the concierge was forced to lead the men to Kardashian’s private suite, where she was by herself.

The attackers stormed into the apartment, held Kardashian at gunpoint, and forced her to restrain. According to police reports, they taped her mouth shut, tied her hands and feet together, and locked her in the bathroom. One of the robbers allegedly demanded access to one of her valuables while holding a gun to her head during the terrifying ordeal.

A £3 million diamond ring that Kardashian had displayed on social media in the days leading up to the robbery was taken from a jewelry box containing an estimated £7.6 million worth of luxury goods. Kanye West’s engagement ring, which he gave to his wife at the time, has not been recovered to this day.

Given that Baum-Gertner was 72 when he passed away, French investigators believe a group of aging career criminals were responsible for the robbery. The suspects were nicknamed the “grandpa gang” by French media because of their ages, many of whom were in their 60s and 70s at the time of their arrest. Numerous suspects allegedly confessed during interrogations, leading to their identification and eventual detention using DNA evidence and surveillance footage.

‘Godfather’ Director Coppola Bags Lifetime Achievement Award

Francis Ford Coppola, the recipient of multiple Oscars, was presented with a lifetime achievement award on Saturday at a glittering ceremony honoring his “fearless” attitude to filmmaking.

The 86-year-old director of classic films like “The Godfather” and “Apocalypse Now” was honored with a trophy from fellow filmmaking kings Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, who commended him for challenging the system and redefining American cinema.

Lucas, the director of “Star Wars,” recalls Coppola telling him to “don’t be afraid of jumping off cliffs,” while Spielberg applauded the “fearless” director and called “The Godfather” the “great American film ever made.”

You “have redefined the canon of American film” and, as a result, inspired a new generation of storytellers, Spielberg said.

Osamede, a Nigerian epic, Will Premiere At The Cannes Film Festival in 2025.

The prestigious American Film Institute, which produces annual lists of the best movies ever made and is considered to be one of the most reputable organizations in the field, presented the award.

Coppola said that winning the award felt like returning home when he took the podium at Hollywood’s Dolby Theatre in front of Robert De Niro and Dustin Hoffman in front of industry veterans.

Coppola said, “Now I understand that this place, which created me, my home, isn’t really a place at all, but you, friends, colleagues, teachers, playmates, family, neighbors, and all the beautiful faces are welcoming me back.”

The AFI praised the six-time Academy Award winner as a “dreamer,” “pioneer,” and “maverick.”

Coppola, who famously threw five of his Oscars out the window in an outburst while making “Apocalypse Now,” heard heartfelt thanks from actors like De Niro, Al Pacino, Diane Lane, Harrison Ford, and Ralph Macchio, who thanked the director for taking a chance on them.

“Rain Man” star Hoffman remarked, “When the studio wanted stars, you fought for actors.”

He joked that Coppola started the careers of so many young actors, but Hoffman only made the cut for the veteran in the 86-year-old sci-fi drama “Megalopolis.”

In addition to Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorsese, Jack Nicholson, and Al Pacino, the independent AFI has honored other filmmakers.

In the second installment of “The Godfather,” Pacino and De Niro reminisce about Coppola, who directed them.

Coppola, who worked with studio executives to create the movie in his own style, told AFP that adventure is not art without adventure.

Making babies without sex is like creating art without risk, in my opinion. It’s possible, he said, but it’s not the best course of action.
