Roseanne Barr slammed the return of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, after it was axed because of his recent comments. The presenter’s comments surrounding right-wing influencer Charlie Kirk’s death led to ABC ‘indefinitely’ axing his long-running show from their schedule.

Politicians and celebrities quickly criticize the decision and make accusations of government censorship. After disgruntled fans canceled their subscriptions in protest, Disney reportedly lost billions of dollars. Between September 17 and early on Tuesday, The Walt Disney Company’s stock dropped by 2.39%, or $4.99 billion, or 2% of its market value.

Upon his return to his show, he told viewers during his opening monologue: “Our government cannot be allowed to control what we do and do not say on television, and we have to stand up to it.

I’ve been hearing a lot about what I need to say and do tonight, but the truth is that I don’t believe what I have to say will matter much. I have no conceit about altering anyone’s mind if you like me, you like me, or if you don’t like me, you don’t.

Some people dubbed his return a “double standard,” while his audience praised him and his supporters praised his speech.

Roseanne Barr’s Roseanne revival was cut short in 2018 because of her tweet that claimed former Obama official Valerie Jarrett, who is Black, was a descendant of “The Muslim Brotherhood” and “Planet of the Apes.”

She later apologised to Valerie Jarrett and to all Americans in a tweet. I apologize so much for making fun of her politics and appearance. Better is what I should be aware of. Please excuse my joke. It was off topic.

The 72-year-old was criticized for her comments and has since called out against Kimmel, alleging that her “life has been destroyed.”

There was no forgiveness for me, and my entire work was stolen, and I was forever called a racist for mistreating another person. It merely serves as a reflection of their thinking. She told NewsNation, “It’s a double standard.”

I find it irks me that “I’ve been erased from history, from the history of feminism.” I’m never mentioned in any publications about pioneering media women. I’m never mentioned in any more.

She claimed that no longer do people who helped her launch careers talk about her, which makes me laugh.

Roseanne then praised Nexstar for continuing to preempt Kimmel’s show. I just adore independent media, she continued. How do I say that they have departed from the big, you know? They provide decentralized information, which is what America demands and requires.

One person praised the natural nature of the birthday celebration. allowing her to grow up. It is truly stunning. Another responded, “I was having the same thought.” It’s no wonder kids grow up not being grateful and happy for anything, big or small, because some celebrities and wealthy people can go overboard with kids’ parties.

A 5-year-old’s birthday celebration was finally recorded as “Finally,” according to the third type. “Happy birthday, Khai,” is another song that was written. What appears to be a typical 5-year-old party looks so refreshing to watch a celebrity.

It comes months after Gigi opened up about how she and former One Direction star Zayn continue to co-parent their daughter together. Speaking to US Vogue, she said: “Zayn and I do our custody schedules months in advance.”

She continued, adding that the former couple frequently help one another out if something unexpected arises between them and plan their weeks around their own schedules. She continued, “We help each other out and have each other’s backs, but that doesn’t mean that it doesn’t change occasionally.”

The pair’s romantic relationship is now a different one, despite the fact that it is firmly entrenched in the past. Instead, they now “love and a sense of camaraderie”

However, they still maintain their privacy but know that their former romance will forever be under the glare of fans across the world due to their high-profile jobs. This is something Gigi struggles with, admitting it’s hard as people will often think they “know everything.”

We’re not interested in giving everyone our full story, she told the outlet. Our daughter and I are interested in raising them together, with a lot of respect for each other, not just as co-parents, but also because of what we’ve been through together.

Days before the live performances are scheduled to begin, Love Island winner Dani Dyer-Bowen cried out as she described her shock exit from the 2025 season of Strictly Come Dancing.

There is chaos behind the scenes of Strictly Come Dancing following the news that Dani Dyer-Bowen has had to pull out of the series.

The 29-year-old, who won Love Island in 2018 and took part in Celebrity MasterChef in 2023, said she was “heartbroken” to not be able to compete in the show, after fracturing her ankle during rehearsals.

She leaves the show the second time since Game of Thrones actor and DJ Kristian Nairn, who left last month for medical reasons. Due to the series’ launch show only being broadcast on Saturday, Strictly bosses are dealing with it somewhat. The live shows are scheduled to begin this weekend.

Dani, who was paired with the professional dancer Nikita Kuzmin, told her Instagram followers she needs to take a “few days off my socials” to process her shock exit.

She cried out in the video on Tuesday night, saying, “Hi guys, I’m going to do this, and try to do this without crying, but yeah, I’m so heartbroken, like I’ve not felt like this in such a long time.

I had the best time ever, according to the statement, “I’m just having a very, very annoying, devastating thing going on right now, but I’m probably just going to take a few days off my social media accounts just to process things.”

She said, “I had a fall on Friday during rehearsals and landed funny,” in a statement shared earlier on Tuesday. My foot swelled up severely over the weekend, and it turns out I’ve broken my ankle after an MRI yesterday.

“Apparently, it is not advisable to quickstep on a fracture (!!)” and I had to leave the show because the doctors had told me I was not allowed to dance.

She continued, “I’m going to miss dancing with Nikita, but I’ll definitely be watching closely and cheering all the couples on.”

Sarah James, executive producer at BBC Studios, said: “Dani has brought so much passion, joy and enthusiasm to Strictly, and her partnership with Nikita was off to the most sensational start.

Everyone on the show is deeply moved that she is unable to compete, and we sincerely hope to see her return to the ballroom in the future.

Since Dani’s departure, there has been rumor about replacing her on the show. And on Wednesday, rumors started to circulate that Tillie Amartey, a 22-year-old Waterloo Road actress, might be stepping into her dancing shoes.

Tillie recently resigned from her Waterloo Road role to make room for “another big project,” which could change her career. In recent weeks, she has been traveling from her Leeds home to London to speak with TV executives.

The program needs another young, glam woman to fill Dani’s shoes, according to the sentiment.

However, when asked by the Mirror about a possible replacement for Dani, the BBC declined to comment.

Responding to the news of Dani’s departure on social media, Strictly professional Dianne Buswell wrote: “I’m so sorry Dani and Nikita. We will miss you so much xx.” Judge Shirley Ballas also sent a message saying: “I’m so so sorry. But health is most important. Get well soon Angel.” Dani’s dad, Danny Dyer, shared a broken heart emoji.

Kristian Nairn, by contrast, had been Strictly’s fifteenth and final celebrity contestant. However, due to health issues, the DJ and actor, who primarily appeared in Game of Thrones’ Hodor, had to leave the upcoming season of Strictly.

Kristian described his backward step as “with a heavy heart.” I regret to disappoint anyone who was anticipating seeing me on the dance floor. “I was truly looking forward to the journey.”

He continued, “I’m grateful for your support, and I’ll be back on my feet soon, in every way. Love Kristian to everyone.

The actor has been replaced on the show, with Emmerdale star Lewis Cope now partnered up with Katya Jones.

Lewis, who made the West End role in Billy Elliot, has proven to be a controversial choice, and he even reached the final of Sky’s Got To Dance at the age of 18 in 2013.

But his partner, Katya Jones, has come to his defence, telling the Radio Times: “I think everyone’s aware that Lewis can move and I’m looking forward to turning him into a ballroom dancer. But unlearning habits is harder than blank-canvas learning.”

In response to the criticism, Mr. Cope responded, “I haven’t worn a pair of tap shoes in 17 years.”

Behind the scenes at Strictly, not just injury.

Outspoken contestant Thomas Skinner has caused a huge problem with details of his previous affair recently coming to light. BBC bosses have also reportedly been left frustrated by his Twitter rants, admitting they cannot control how Thomas behaves on social media.

But insiders believe he might go the distance given the public’s history of backing trouble-makers, and the support of Amy Dowden’s army of loyal fans.

One source said: “It’s a tricky one, he’s not BBC staff so there is nothing that can be done about his social media posts other than ask his management to have a gentle word, and they might not want to.

The public tends to favor controversial figures, at least at first, so it’s likely he’s one of the first to join and could end up there for a while. Amy is very fond of her, which will help him.

Violet, a 19-year-old daughter of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, addressed the UN about the effects of the coronavirus.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner’s daughter delivered a powerful speech about the impacts of the coronavirus in an address at the United Nations on Tuesday. Violet, 19, spoke in favour of clean air and masking to prevent the transmission of long Covid-19 as she insisted that young people’s futures were ‘being stolen’.

Violet, who wore a K95 mask for the event, said: “We are told by leaders across the board that we are the future, Violet, 19, began. “But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” She went on to slam adults for ” the relentless beat of back to normal, ignoring downplaying, and concealing both the prevalence of airborne transmission and the threat of long COVID.”

Young people lack both accurate information about our choices and real choices, she continued.

What we are aware of regarding SARS CoV2 is as follows. One infection can cause irreparable harm to almost every cell in the body, from the brain and heart to the nerves and blood vessels because it is airborne, floating, and lingering in the air.

Violet added that “every subsequent infection puts people who already have it in greater danger” and raises the risk of long movement.

According to Dr. Akiko Iwasaki, the entire population is the control group at this point, and long COVID has surpassed asthma as the most prevalent chronic illness in children aged five and under in five years.

The teenager shared her worries over the spread of the virus in schools, adding she was “terrified” for children who “will not know a world without debilitating pain and exhaustion, who cannot trust their bodies to play, explore, and imagine”.

She continued, “I am furious on their behalf. Looking children in the eyes and saying, “We knew how to protect you and we didn’t do it, is a neglect of the highest order. We don’t use the technology that millions of people around the world today would use to prevent airborne disease because it is something that our ancestors and millions of people would kill for.

Before going into more detail about another public health battle, the movement to ban smoking in public spaces, she continued, “And I shudder to think of where we will be in another five years of unmitigated infection and reinfection.”

Many of you fought back against indoor smoking for a long time. At almost 20 years old, I can only recall that time because I was young and confused about the no smoking signs on airplanes. Who would do that, exactly? That’s gross’. “

During her speech, Violet said: “My hope for this event and my belief in this community pressed on the belief that we can and we must do that again. We can recognize filtered air as a human right, as intuitively as we do filtered water. We can create clean air infrastructure that is so ubiquitous and so obviously necessary, so that tomorrow’s children don’t even know why we need it.”

The former Hollywood couple’s daughter is a graduate of Yale University where she recently wrote an academic paper on the Los Angeles County wildfires.

Long Covid is when the symptoms of the virus last longer than 12 weeks. Most common symptoms include fatigue, shortness of breath, joint pain, memory problems, high temperature, blocked nose, a cough, a sore throat, chest pain, hair loss and more.

Following a busy week of new collections from well-known and emerging fashion designers, London Fashion Week is now over. The power of the backstory is apparent in a new trend.

London Fashion Week returned with fresh creativity and new collections. Amid well-known designer brands and spectacular runways, one particular trend is gaining attention: fragile fashion.

Turkish designer Bora Aksu unveiled his Spring/Summer 2026 collection at St Paul’s Church in Covent Garden, beautifully decorated with rose bushes.

For this year’s collection, Aksu drew inspiration from his own archive of broken porcelain dolls. According to Fashionista, his intention was to embrace flaws and cracks. In his eyes, fragility is not weakness, but a new kind of strength, love, and survival.

The models donned a variety of lace, sheer fabrics, and hand-embroidered mesh in soft pastel hues like powder pinks, soft corals, peaches, and powdered blues as they walked the runway. Their appearances captured the significance of “fragile fashion,” telling a vulnerability story.

Before the show, he said, “Broken dolls reminded me that beauty can be found in traces of love, time, and survival.” He explained that he wants the audience to see imperfections as signs of resilience and beauty rather than concealing them.

Additionally, this year’s collection intentionally left viewers to notice delicate details like visible loose threads and lace bonnets.

Describe Fragile Fashion.

A new fashion trend emerges each year. There is always something new that captures the public’s obsession for months or even years, whether it’s baguette handbags, knee-length shorts, or pastel colors. Recently, social media and the fashion industry have been showing more interest in fragile fashion.

Fragile fashion praises delicate fabrics, pastel hues, and handcrafted details rather than bold statements. People seeking comfort and learning to love themselves as they are, with flaws and all, reflect a wider shift in the industry. It’s a movement to find strength in sensitivity rather than just a fashion trend.

Social media has played a key role in popularising this trend, particularly on TikTok and Instagram under the hashtag #FragileFashion. Users have showcased outfits embracing softness, layering, and imperfection. Although fragile fashion remains an emerging term and trend, it has already gained significant traction.

Bora Aksu, a fashion designer, has undoubtedly been at the heart of this movement, demonstrating that fashion can be both powerful and inspiring through storytelling. Celebrating people’s inherent humanity in a beautiful way was a prime example of embracing the delicate and imperfect in this year’s collection.
