Lily Allen confirms relationship status after swearing off famous men

After being banned from a top dating app after her marriage to Stranger Things actor David Harbour broke down, Lily Allen has confirmed her relationship status.

After her marriage to Stranger Things star David Harbour broke down, Lily Allen has suggested she may have found love.

Fans were quick to speculate that Lily’s fifth album, West End Girl, was heavily inspired by her separation from Harbour and her first since No Shame’s release last week. It has been streamed more than eight million times and is currently at the top of the UK iTunes chart.

However, this doesn’t seem to be the case despite the widespread assumption that Allen, 40, had turned her back on finding love. She has already set her sights on a special person and is now using the exclusive dating app where she met Harbour, 50.

In a new interview, Lily revealed she isn’t looking for a relationship and turned her back on dating a celebrity. She said, “I’m not really looking to go out with another famous person.”

Lily revealed to Interview that Hinge prohibited her from using the dating app because they believed she was acting in a fake. I can demonstrate that I’m that person, like: “I’m like that. I’m like, “You’ll need to send us your ID,” and you’re like, “Actually, my name and the name on my ID aren’t the same.”

She continues to use a limited dating app, though. She stated, “I’m not in a relationship, but I do meet some people.” Allen, 40, claimed over the weekend that she spent two hours sat and crying in the recording studio while making the album.

She insists she has “artistic license,” and things she experienced in her relationship are documented, even though she says she’s not sure if everything is accurate.

However, a source claims Lily is “no angel” and is not. “Lily isn’t exactly a good angel,” a source said. She wanted the big house and the lifestyle, but she detested it before giving David a completely false impression of who and what she is.

Men find her hard work, they said in a statement to the Daily Mail: “Men find her hard work, and something about her makes them pull their hair out and run a mile.” The same thing happened to Sam Cooper, her ex. She was told to sing about David if she wanted to sell albums, but she’s now doing it.

Other sources claim that David would be promoting the Stranger Things finale while Lily’s timing of the release was “very deliberate.” He is reportedly unable to attend the press conference because it would be an “utter embarrassment” for him to be subjected to a media grilling.

In one song, Lily talks about an alleged agreement she had with Harbour to start a relationship in public, called Madeline. On the track, she states, “Be discreet and don’t be blatant; there had to be payment, it had to be with strangers, but you’re not a stranger, Madeline.”

The ‘Justin Bieber of rugby league’ tormenting England

A grand three-part showdown between England and Australia, a Wembley showcase of international rugby league, was supposed to start there. Reece Walsh appeared on the television program.

The Kangaroos won 26-6, marking their 13th straight victory over British opposition and keeping their Ashes dominance on track.

Walsh has not previously been in the spotlight, with Australian Rugby League Commission Chairman Peter V’landys comparing him to a pop star.

In 2023, V’Landys reported to Australian television that “he has charisma and presence.” He is “the rugby league Justin Bieber.” They appear to be brothers!

He’s a brilliant player, not just something you get out of the box. He’s just charismatic like a pro.

The 23-year-old is a social media star with 640, 000 Instagram followers and is already a celebrity in Australia.

Walsh received his first call-up for Australia the day after the Broncos defeated Melbourne Storm in the Grand Final on a fantastic individual display. In the closing seconds, he made a memorable try-saving tackle, added three assists, and made a dramatic try-saving tackle.

Walsh may be on the verge of becoming a global superstar, as the World Cup in Australia is taking place in Australia in the following year and Walsh has already left an unbroken legacy on this series.

Walsh is compared to an American sporting icon by V’landys, not just to a Canadian pop star.

Toilet pranks and manicures

Walsh was a one-man representative of the quality gap between the two teams in London last Saturday, particularly in the opening minutes of the second half.

Following a blundered pass by England’s much-awaited scrum-half Mikey Lewis, Walsh carried the ball 80 meters in Australia’s first attack after the break. The ground gained gave Australia the opportunity to score a stunning second try of the match, despite England’s initial resistance.

Following a sour opening 20 minutes that had given England false hope, Walsh had earlier scored the series’ opening try by wrapping up a dominant team move with a swan dive.

And he added the coup de grace by scoring Angus Crichton’s two scores in front of 60, 000 spectators at Wembley to end the match.

Even if you have no interest in rugby league, V’landys once said, “He’s a champion player, so people want to see those.” Someone like Reece Walsh will make you feel attracted to her.

Walsh also has less flashy scores than that. His defensive play was crucial in allowing Australia to defeat England before the gears changed.

He has been compared to a pop star, and he’s likely to engage in some unusual behavior. He frequently uses painted nails to adorn the field with his four-year-old daughter Leila.

He joked that drinking water from a toilet bowl after playing a game made his muscle recovery go viral on social media last month.

Although his club was still required to rush out a “don’t try this at home” statement, the toilet was brand-new and had not been used.

V’Landys referred to Walsh’s off-field activities as “I think it comes with the territory.”

He is a young man, he says. They haven’t been that serious, in fact. He’s like the rest of us, just like I’m a plumber, which I suppose is a good job.

I’m happier with the stops I made than the points I earned.

And he occasionally reaches acceptance. When Walsh was not punished for dragging him off the ball in the first half, Herbie Farnworth was shocked to see the full-back involved in the multi-man scrap three minutes before the game was over.

He is a footballer in the first place, as the Australians put it, and he enjoys deflection more than tries scored.

Walsh, who won man of the match at Wembley, said, “I’m probably happier with the two tries I stopped than the two I scored.”

England coach Shaun Wane questioned whether England had considered how to stop Walsh from having such a big impact on Saturday’s second Test at Hill Dickinson Stadium. “Yes. However, we did that for the first Test as well, which was unsuccessful.

We must improve upon that. Without a doubt, he is a top player. He is one of their best players, despite the fact that they have many other top athletes.

“He took a complete risk, but our execution has to be better,” he said.

You always want someone by your side, but Walsh has the traits of all great radicals in sport: they are nightmares to face.

Australia teammate Cameron Munster remarked to BBC One, “I’m very lucky to play with him.” In the Grand Final, he “broke my heart.”

He has it, and “Speed kills, and he’s got it.” He has a unique talent. It’s frightening to see how he’s going to get better.

Paris Fury ‘doesn’t feel old enough’ as she starts wedding planning for daughter, 16

https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article36148772.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/0_Screenshot-2025-10-02-at-101237.jpg

After getting engaged, TV star Paris Fury admitted she “does not feel old enough” as she begins helping her 16-year-old daughter Venezuela with her wedding preparations.

Paris Fury has admitted she “can’t believe” her daughter Venezuela, 16, is getting married.

The teenager got engaged at her glamorous birthday party as boyfriend Noah Price, 18, got down on one knee and asked the all important question.

Venezuela admitted she was “very shocked” but called it “probably one of the best moments of my life.” Noah even did the traditional thing of asking her father for her hand in marriage, but admitted he was “all kinds of nervous” to bring it up to heavyweight champion boxer Tyson Fury.

Noah following the “old-fashioned tradition” of seeking a father’s blessing was something Tyson had done with Paris before proposing to her at 17. As they enjoy engaged life, it seems the family are already preparing Venezuela for her big day.

As they shopped together for antique home goods, Paris took her eldest daughter shopping to get ready for marriage. The mother-of-seven said, “Homeware shopping for @venezuelafuryofficial today. beginning her “bottom drawer”

As she admitted, “Well that’s a start! ” She shared a picture of pink and green checkerboard cake stands, bowls, and kettles. I don’t think she’s old enough for this, but I can’t believe she’ll marry and own a home.

Paris thanked the store they visited and the staff for their assistance, saying, “I don’t know who knew less me or @venezuelafuryofficial for what she needed.

Earlier this month, Paris opened up on the engagement for the first time. She told the Sunday Mirror’s Notebook magazine: “I did encourage her to wait as long as possible, but she was determined.”

We’re all really happy for her and Noah because they’re such great partners and genuinely looking forward to the upcoming chapter of her life, Paris continued. She is young, yes, but we all know that is in line with our traditions and values. We are not far along in terms of age since I got married to Tyson at age 17; therefore, we are still close.

Venezuela confirmed her engagement by sending a sweet video of the proposal to TikTok. Paris acknowledged that the news had shocked her daughter when she responded.

Congratulations to @venezuelafuryofficial and @7noahprice on getting engaged, she said to the teen. Both are young, but both are already well-known! Still shocked but delighted for you both. Your father and I both couldn’t be prouder, xxx @tysonfury.

Paris later appeared on This Morning where she said she has no worries about the young couple. “Venezuela is so mature for her years,” Paris gushed. “She’s done so much in such a short time just because of who she is and the fact that she’s got six younger brothers and sisters that she’s helped bring up, I can’t deny it.

She is very mature, and I’ve been working with Venezuela for the past year, doing various shoots, interviews, and using social media. She chose this path despite my best efforts to give her in life.

Continue reading the article.

I can’t deny her because I got engaged when I was 17,” Paris continued. How can I, in any way, judge her if she is obviously following my example? She is young, I am aware. But I believe she has found the person she loves, and I’m willing to support her in every way.

No Evidence Ondo LG Chairpersons Receive ₦5m To Run Councils — Commissioner

https://www.youtube.com/embed/VH6ApI5euaE

The Ondo State Government has refuted the claim that state council chairpersons receive $5 million to run the city’s affairs.

Idowu Ajanaku, the commissioner for information, made the statement on Wednesday’s episode of Channels Television’s The Morning Brief in response to an allegation that some councils do not receive their statutory funding.

He claimed that there is no proof that the state government hacked into the council’s finances.

If councils didn’t run joint accounts with state governments, he added that the funding gap between local governments could be fixed.

Ajanaku claimed that “the Ondo State Government has never received a single penny from the state government,” according to Ajanaku.

Joint Account Problem

If councils didn’t run joint accounts with state governments, he explained, the gap in funding between local governments could be fixed.

The commissioner says that despite the Supreme Court’s ruling, there are still many constitutional issues that need to be resolved, including the issue of a joint account between local governments and the state, which has not yet been repealed due to delayed implementation of the Supreme Court decision.

Open to the public

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offenses Commission (ICPC) are both interested in a probe of the LG accounts, according to the commissioner.

The government of Ondo State has no authority to change a penny in the Ondo State’s local governments’ accounts. I’m not sure where they learned that the Ondo State government is providing $4 million or $5 million in information.

Let them present proof, if they have it. And if any of these local government chairmen have filed that complaint, they should submit proof that they are doing so, he continued.

LG Autonomy

There are 18 local government areas in South-West Ohio.

In states, funding for councils has become a recurring issue because it is regarded as having the most cleavage of all forms of government.

Following a lawsuit brought by the Federal Government through the Federation’s Minister of Justice and Attorney General, the Supreme Court granted autonomy to all the nation’s 774 local government areas in July 2024.

However, according to a former gusher of Lagos State, it is unrealistic to expect the local governments of Nigeria to operate independently under the current Constitution.

Local councils are unable to carry out their responsibilities because of the interference of state legislatures and state governments, according to Fashola, who spoke on Channels Television’s&nbsp, Sunrise on July 19, 2025.

The state houses of assembly making laws for local governments is a form of external influence, according to the former minister of power, works, and housing, that is incompatible with autonomy.

“I believe that the issue that needs to be resolved is whether or not we actually want autonomous local governments. It’s necessary to have a debate about this. It is unattainable to anticipate autonomy for local governments established by the Constitution today.

After reading through some of the Constitution’s provisions very carefully, I’m of the opinion that they were not intended to be autonomous. Some of those provisions, he said, include provisions that state legislatures make for local governments in their economic activities and all of that, he said.

Jamaica declares disaster as ‘Monstrous Melissa’ ravages island

After Hurricane Melissa slammed across the Caribbean island as one of the strongest storms ever to pass, leaving behind a trail of destruction, Prime Minister Andrew Holness has labeled Jamaica a “disaster area.”

Most of the country’s 2.8 million people were without electricity as a result of the hurricane’s landfall as a Category 5 storm on Tuesday, which wiped out the roofs of homes, inundated the “bread basket,” and destroyed power lines and trees.

Melissa had to pass through Jamaica before it was reduced to a Category 3 storm before it resumed its course on Wednesday, heading Cuba.

In a number of posts on X, Holness claimed that the storm had “ravaged” his nation and that the disaster declaration would give his government “tools to continue managing” its response.

He told CNN late on Tuesday that it was obvious that the hurricane’s eye would have a devastating impact. “Reports we have received so far include damage to hospitals, significant damage to residential property, housing and commercial property, and damage to our road infrastructure.”

Holness claimed that at this time there are no confirmed reports of fatalities. However, he continued, “We are anticipating some loss of life with a Category 5 hurricane.”

By Wednesday morning, the prime minister claimed his country was mobilizing quickly to begin relief and recovery efforts.

The hurricane caused seven fatalities before Melissa slammed into Jamaica, including three in Jamaica, three in Haiti, and one in the Dominican Republic.

The storm had impacted almost every parish in Jamaica, according to Desmond McKenzie, the island’s local government minister, on Tuesday evening, and left the majority of the island without electricity.

He claimed that the parish of St. Elizabeth, the nation’s primary agricultural region, was “under water” as a result of the storm.

According to what we have seen, “St. Elizabeth has sustained a lot,” the minister continued, noting that “almost every parish experiences blocked roads, fallen trees, utility poles, and excessive flooding in many communities.”

He continued, “Work is currently on the way to restore our service, to prioritize the crucial facilities, such as hospitals and water and pumping stations.”

Health and Wellness Minister Christopher Tufton reported to the Jamaica Gleaner newspaper that at least four hospitals had been “significantly damaged” by the storm.

“Monstrous Melissa”

The storm was the “worst we’ve ever experienced,” according to Robian Williams, a journalist for the Nationwide News Network radio broadcaster in Kingston.

From the capital, she said, “It’s truly heartbreaking and devastating.”

“We’re calling Hurricane Melissa “Monstrous Melissa” here in Jamaica because that’s how powerful she was. … The devastation is widespread, mostly being felt and still being felt in the western ends of the country at this point in time. So many homes, so many people have been displaced,” she said.

“We did prepare, but there wasn’t much else we could have done.”

Lisa Sangster, a 30-year-old communications specialist, claimed that the storm had destroyed her home in Kingston.

She told the AFP news agency, “My sister explained that some of our roof’s components were blown off, while others caved in, and the entire house was flooded.” “Outside structures like our outdoor kitchen, dog kennel, and farm animal pens were also gone, destroyed,” said one employee.

Mathue Tapper, 31, told AFP that the capital’s residents were “lucky,” but he worried about the residents of Jamaica’s more rural areas.

He expressed his condolences to the island’s western residents.

Melissa reshapes

On Tuesday night, the US National Hurricane Center received a warning that Melissa was regaining speed as it moved toward eastern Cuba.

At 11 p.m. CST on Tuesday (03:00 GMT on Wednesday), the center warned that “there is a very dangerous major hurricane there” as a potential major hurricane in the next few hours.

More than 700, 000 people have been evacuated from Cuba, according to Granma, the official newspaper, and forecasters predicted that Santiago de Cuba and other nearby areas will suffer severe damage as a result of the Category 4 storm.

Granma, Santiago de Cuba, Guantanamo, Holguin, Las Tunas, and the southeast and central Bahamas were both subject to a hurricane warning. Bermuda was in the midst of a hurricane watch.

Up to 51cm (20 inches) of rain were forecast for parts of eastern Cuba as a result of the storm, which was expected to cause a storm surge of up to 3.6 meters (12 feet) in the area.

There will be a lot of work to be done, he declared. In a televised address, President Miguel Diaz-Canel said, “We know there will be a lot of damage, and no one is left behind, and no resources are spared to protect the lives of the population.”

He urged Cubans to not underestimate the strength of Hurricane Melissa, which he described as “the strongest ever to strike national territory.”

Changes in climate

Although hurricanes have been common in Cuba and Jamaica, climate change is making them more severe.

In a video that was shared on social media, British-Jamaican author and activist Mikaela Loach claimed Melissa “gained energy from the extraordinarily hot seas in the Caribbean.”

Loach claimed that these sea temperatures are not typical. They are “extremely hot” due to the gases produced by fossil fuel burning.

“Countries like Jamaica are also the nations whose wealth and resources have been taken from them through colonial bondage,” Loach continued. “These nations are the most vulnerable to climate disasters.

Holness urged wealthy nations to increase climate financing in order to aid developing nations like Jamaica in adjusting to the effects of a warming world during a speech at the UN General Assembly in September.

“Changes in climate is not a distant threat or an academic consideration. It is a daily reality for small island developing states like Jamaica,” he said.

Global warming is only caused by 0.02 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, according to World Resources Institute data.
