Primark is stocking a pair of shoes that bear a striking resemblance to a pricier alternative. Known for its affordable fashion and homeware, the high street giant may have just introduced a new crowd-pleaser.

The retailer’s Square Toe Mary Jane Ballerinas look similar to a style by brand Gianvito Rossi, but at a fraction of the cost. Shoppers can snag the Primark version for £10, while the designer version is priced at £635 online.

The shoes are very similar, with matching leopard print and ballerina-style designs. They also both have a gold-tone hardware and one strap over the top.

However, the more expensive version is made with 100% suede while Primark’s is synthetic. The designer shoes also have a more rounded toe, while the Primark shoes are squared.

The high street shoes are described as “Mary Jane style ballerina pumps with square toes.” They’re available in sizes three to eight.

The designer product description reads: “Crafted from supple leopard-printed suede, Carla is a flat ballerina style with a round toe and a rubber sole. The iconic Ribbon buckle, signature of the brand, enriches the front Mary Jane strap.

“A versatile staple reinterpreting ballet shoes’ proportions with a modern take: step after step, any woman can turn urban streets into her own stage. Handmade in Italy. “

The Primark shoes retail for £10, while the Gianvito Rossi Carla Ballerinas come in at £635. This means shoppers could save around £625 by opting for the bargain version.

Kanye West’s Cousins lyrics and relative who was ‘jailed for murder’

Controversial rapper Kanye West has dropped a new track titled Cousins as he claims it is about an incestuous relationship with a male cousin who is now jailed for murder

Kanye West has released a new song called Cousins

Kanye West has sparked a storm of controversy once again and this time for his latest track, Cousins, which features some incredibly shocking lyrics. The rapper, who has pulled a series of headline-grabbing stunts in recent months, has now caused jaws to drop with revelations about his troubled childhood.

While promoting his new track Cousins, Kanye made a claim about having incestuous relationship with a male cousin when he was a child. In a post on X, he said the pair would “act out” what they saw in pornographic magazines.

He also shared a snippet of the song, which featured blurred visuals and semi-pornographic images stitched together. Kanye, who is also known as Ye, claims the cousin is now serving a life sentence for murder.

The song has sparked an intense response online after it was released on Monday. Cousins is an explicit track which claims to detail a harrowing experience from Kayne’s past.

Introducing the song on X, he wrote: “This song is called COUSINS about my cousin that’s locked in jail for life for killing a pregnant lady a few years after I told him we wouldn’t ‘look at dirty magazines together’ anymore.

“Perhaps in my self centered mess I felt it was my fault that I showed him those dirty magazines when he was 6 and then we acted out what we saw.

“My dad had playboy magazines but the magazines I found in the top of my moms closet were different”

The song kicks off: “I saw you outside again, just hanging out with your friends. Hanging with my cousin, reading dirty magazines. “

He continues: “Then we start re-enacting everything that we had seen. That’s when I gave my cousin head, gave my cousin head. Gave my cousin head, I gave my cousin head. I gave my cousin head. “

It continued: “Told my cousin not to tell nobody (Please, no, don’t tell nobody). People tell me take it to my grave. ‘Truth will set you free someday’. I don’t think they understand That I’m not attracted to a man (They thought I was gay). “

Kanye has never disclosed the identity of the relative but previously spoke of an incarcerated cousin during an interview in 2018. Speaking to Jimmy Kimmel, he said: “My cousin is locked up for murder and I love him. So he did a bad thing, but I still love him. “

Five years ago, his ex wife Kim Kardashian mentioned an incarcerated cousin in Kim Kardashian West: The Justice Project. The only thing known about the cousin was the fact he was convicted of murder at the age of 17.

Speaking to Marc Howard, president of the Frederick Douglass Project for Justice and director of Georgetown University’s Prisons and Justice Initiative, Kim explained: “[Kanye’s] cousin has a double life sentence for a murder that he committed when he was 17. “

Tiger King Joe Exotic marries fellow inmate as they tie the knot behind bars

Joe Exotic has married again despite being in the midst of a 21-year federal prison sentence. The Tiger King star, 62, revealed he has married an inmate while behind bars.

He has tied the knot with Jorge Flores Maldonado while in prison following his 2019 conviction. Exotic was jailed for hiring hitmen to kill his zookeeper rival Carole Baskin.

He was previously married to the late Travis Maldonado, who died aged 23 after accidentally shooting himself in 2017. Travis, who had a history of drug addiction, was also involved in a three-way ceremony with Exotic and John Finlay.

Exotic, also known Joseph Maldonado-Passage, was also married Dillon Passage, who he hooked up with two months after Travis’ death. The relationship ended in 2020 and they filed for divorce the following year.

In 2019, Exotic was convicted and sentenced to 22 years in prison on 17 federal charges of animal abuse and two counts of attempted murder for hire for the plot to kill Big Cat Rescue founder Carole Baskin.

Exotic has now shared the news from prison that he has married Jorge. Announcing their marriage online, he said: “Never been more proud of someone. Meet my husband Jorge Flores Maldonado. “

He had shared news of their engagement in October as he told fans: “Meet Jorge Marquez he is 33. He is so amazing and is from Mexico.

“Now, the quest of getting married in prison and getting him asylum or we be leaving America when we both get out. Either way, I wish I would have met him long ago. “

According to CBS News, Exotic’s new husband is serving time for immigration-related issues. Exotic submitted a marriage application to the federal prison in order to wed Jorge.

He also has “high hopes” that his appeal of his entire case will succeed. Exotic requested a presidential pardon for himself and Jorge, as well as asylum for his now husband.

“I wish someone that is President or wins the Presidency would do the right thing and pardon me so I could move past this nightmare that my own country has caused for the last 7 years of my life,” Exotic said last year.

“All I did was build a zoo and some people were very jealous. Then I was put into prison by my own country. “

In a phone interview with Entertainment Tonight, Exotic opened up on the wedding plans. He said: “We filed our official papers for the marriage license from the prison yesterday, so we’re just waiting for an approval.

“He has picked out December 12 as the date we’re hoping to get this approved by. ” Exotic said the marriage application “had to be approved by the warden and psychiatry and the chaplain” before their license could be approved.

He said: “We love each other very much, spend every minute of the day together. I’ve been through some s**t in my days. I buried two husbands, the third one ran off with $2. 6 million bucks from Netflix and left my a** here, but Jorge is a very amazing young man. “

Jeremy Clarkson has showed off a painful injury. The Clarkson’s Farm star – who is about to launch a new series – shared the blood soaked snap of his hand as he revealed he suffered an injury whilst playing pickleball with his pals.

Alongside a picture of his blood covered hand on top of a pickleball racquet, he wrote: “Turns out pickleball is bloody dangerous,” as fans rushed to the comment section to react to the accident.

“He survived car crashes, third world road trips, farming accidents, but it was pickle ball that did him in,” one wrote, whilst another added: “you are not supposed to hit the ball with your hand, jeremy.”

A third penned: “I bet he said before the game ‘how hard can it be,'” with a fourth writing: “How on earth have you managed that? ? ” A fifth shared: “how do you get that hurt playing pickle ball? Maybe stick to car based sports. “

Jeremy’s latest injury comes after he opened up about his health. Back in October, he underwent heart surgery and had a stent fitted. The Clarkson’s Farm star described how he felt “clammy”, with a “tightness in my chest”, and “pins and needles in my left arm” and rushed himself to the doctor, before later being taken to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford in an ambulance.

Once there, they ruled out the possibility of a heart attack after undergoing an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests and X-rays. However, he was taken to theatre and doctors told him he was “days away” from becoming very ill.

“It seems that of the arteries feeding my heart with nourishing blood, one was completely blocked and the second of three was heading that way … It wasn’t especially painful. Just odd,” he recalled.

Earlier this year, Jeremy issued an update on his health, revealing he was feeling “very well”.

“My phone flashed up this morning saying: ‘you are taking far fewer steps this week than last’. I thought ‘yeah I would be as I am sitting here’. It also says you are eating far fewer sausages. I just sit here and eat celery. I am feeling better on it. I do feel very well,” he said whilst filming for his hit show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

“I have been to see a dietician. The dietician has given me a pretty good list and said: ‘don’t eat processed food’. If it’s got more than one ingredient in it, don’t eat it. I feel great. “

However, Jeremy is trying to slow down but he admits it is “impossible” to say no. He added: “It’s impossible. In the last break, I was writing things on the farm show, then I’ve got an issue with the brewery to be resolved.

“I need a firepit for the pub, so I’ve got to work out where to get it from, then you’ve got the health and safety regulations that come with the firepit like what happens if someone falls in it. I’m busy! “

George Clooney raises alarm bells with marriage confession

Hollywood icon George Clooney has raised alarm bells among his fans by making a shock marriage confession about his home life with wife of 11-years Amal Clooney

George Clooney has raised alarm bells after opening up on his marriage to human rights attorney Amal Clooney. The power couple have been married for over 10 years and appear to have one of the most rock solid unions in showbiz.

In a new interview, George revealed he has never had an argument with Amal in all the years together, which some fans find impossible to believe. Actor George, 63, has insisted he is yet to butt heads with his wife, 47, over anything.

In an appearance on CBS Morning, George recalled a previous time he was on the show where he said the same thing. He told host Gayle King: “I remember we were here with you once before and I remember we said we’d never had an argument. “

Giving an update, he added: “We still haven’t. We’re trying to find something to fight about! “

The Hollywood star gushed: “I feel so extraordinarily lucky to have met his incredible woman. I feel as if I hit the jackpot. There isn’t a day that goes by where I don’t think I’m the luckiest man in the world. So it’s great.”

Despite George’s declaration of love and blissful life with Amal, some fans were not fully convinced by his claim. Some speculated the reason behind their peaceful marriage is because they “probably have separate bedrooms. “

Yet another shared a meme of hit Christmas move Elf with the famous line from the film: “You sit on a throne of lies.” The couple, who share twins Ella and Alexander, got married in 2014 at a star-studded ceremony in Italy.

George made the initial claim back in 2022 while on the TV show as he appeared alongside Amal. He said it was “easy” to have a strong marriage and added: “We’ve never had an argument. “

Amal said at the time: “It’s maddening to some of our friends. I have a cousin, actually, every time we see him he’s like, his first question is, ‘So have you had an argument yet? ‘ before he says hello. “

Host Gayle asked: “Seriously? You’ve never had an argument? ‘ to which George joked: “Would you like us to right now? Would that make you feel better? “

The couple have long prided themselves on their argument-free life as George also mentioned it to People back in 2020.

He gushed: “I feel very lucky in so many ways to have met her. We haven’t ever had an argument. You know, everybody’s been slammed together because of the coronavirus and a lot of friends’ relationships have been tested. For us, it’s been really easy. “

It’s not only George who has heaped on the praise as Amal said falling in love with the actor “felt like the most natural thing in the world. “

She told Vogue in 2018: “It’s the one thing in life that I think is the biggest determinant of happiness and it’s the thing you have the least control over. Are you going to meet this person?

“I was 35 when I met him. It wasn’t obvious that it was going to happen for me. And I wasn’t willing or excited about the idea of getting married or having a family in the absence of that. “
