Oscar-winning actor and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio has led the tributes to his “dear friend” and personal “hero”, Dame Jane Goodall, following her passing at the age of 91.

The Jane Goodall Institute announced on Wednesday that the internationally renowned conservationist, who was the most influential figure on chimpanzee behavior, passed away from “natural causes” in California.

The ethologist, who conducted groundbreaking research on free-living chimpanzees in Tanzania in 1960, when it was virtually unheard of for a woman to enter the African wilderness, has received numerous tributes.

Hollywood star DiCaprio took to Instagram on Wednesday to say that “we all must carry the torch” for Dame Jane and protect “our one shared home”.

The 50-year-old actor shared images of himself with Dame Jane, who was appointed a UN Messenger of Peace in 2002, exactly one year before Leonardo DiCaprio was given the same honorable title.

DiCaprio wrote, “Today we have lost a true hero for the planet, an inspiration to millions, and a dear friend.” Jane Goodall dedicated her life to preserving the environment and giving voice to the wild animals and ecosystems they inhabit, he continued.

Our understanding of how our closest relatives live, socialize, and think was changed by her groundbreaking research on chimpanzees in Tanzania, resembling how all life is intertwined with one another.

“For decades, Jane travelled the globe with boundless energy, awakening generations to the wonder of the natural world. She spoke directly to the next generation, instilling hope, responsibility and the belief that every individual can make a difference. She inspired millions to care, to act, and to hope. She never stopped.

My family and I extend my sincere condolences. By supporting @janegoodallinst and other conservation organizations that she loved, please join me in honoring her legacy. You are my hero, is what I said in my most recent message to Jane. We must now carry the torch for her in the defense of our one common home.

Thomas Skinner has gone on a social media rant once again as he took time out from Strictly Come Dancing training. The Apprentice star, 34, caused controversy when he signed up to the hit BBC dance competition following his political views and outspoken opinions.

He went on to stir up more drama at the press launch for the show when he snatched a journalist’s phone and stormed off. Since then, Thomas has been paired with beloved dancer Amy Dowden, which also caused outrage with some fans.

Thomas has been training with Amy, but he has remained convinced that he deserves a spot on the dancefloor. He posted a weight loss update from rehearsals on X on Wednesday, revealing that he had already lost one stone.

Yet just a couple hours later, he returned to the platform with a message that appeared to hit out at Big Brother star Narinder Kaur. She had said Thomas was “too controversial” for Strictly and in his latest post, he shared a clip from when they both appeared on Good Morning Britain.

In the segment on the ITV morning show, they debated if people are ashamed to be English. Alongside the clip, Thomas wrote: “I love this beautiful country and all you lovely people with all my heart.”

He continued, “I’m fed up with all these lunatics moaning about being proud of where you’re from and trying to cause a massive division between people,” in what appeared to be a crude swipe at Narinder. Not what we are trying to accomplish.

We should always fly our flag with pride and be proud, united, and proud. God’s blessings to each of you. This little golden oldie video is going to bed and I’m going to show it to everyone. Morning dancing. Let’s get started. Bosh. “

Back in August, Narinder had addressed Thomas’ signing as she said: “Apparently I was deemed too controversial for @bbcstrictly because they only hire quiet brown and black women that fit in a box.

“But you can be a white man and be outspoken, and you’ll be hired right away!” Hello Thomas Skinner 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; ; Your preconceived attitudes and prejudice against British brown women are shameful.

Narinder continued, “They wouldn’t take me on, we approached them and they said I was too controversial,” adding that she was “raging” with the broadcaster. Because that’s the kind of brown and black woman their audience prefers, they put brown and black women on who are quiet.

However, God forbid you have some opinions, and they won’t ever agree with you. But if you’re a white man like Thomas Skinner, a proud patriot like Thomas Skinner of the online right, and a criminal paster, they’ll let you go!

Narinder, I respect that you stand up for what you believe in, not everyone has the guts to do that. Thomas responded to that at the time with a statement. Yes, I have a past, but I’m not here to divide people.

I’m just attempting to persuade people that they have more options than they think. When you accept happiness and don’t always feel resentment toward others, life can be so much better.

I apologize if I’ve ever offended you, but that’s never what I intended. I only want a happy, peaceful life for you and peace for you. Bosh. “

CMAT, an Irish singer, has announced that she will be rescheduling her October tour dates because of a dental emergency. The 29-year-old is currently in the middle of her Euro-Country Tour, which she was scheduled to play at O2 Academy Brixton in London tomorrow night.

The musician, who is real name Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, claimed on Instagram that she was “devastated” to postpone dates to remove a wisdom tooth infection. She wrote, “I booked an emergency visit with my dentist because I woke up today with a throbbing pain in my jaw.”

He booked me in for surgery next week to remove both of my lower wisdom teeth, and he also prescribed me antibiotics to treat the infection. I’ve been told that my surgery will require two weeks of healing and a short recovery period to allow me to recover fully.

The nominee for the BRIT Award continued, “We are attempting to change the dates and will inform you as soon as possible.” If you can’t make the new date, please contact your ticket seller to request a refund. Your ticket will remain valid for the rescheduled dates.

Fans who made travel plans were later apologized, and CMAT said, “If there was anything I could do, I would do it, but I can’t even open my mouth wide enough to laugh or even sing.” I’m also unable to chew any food for the foreseeable, so any suggestions for ice cream, soup, or other options would be greatly appreciated! “!

She ended the post by stating that she is “in such great pain” with her mouth and has spent time watching The Osbournes and thinking about “making it up to you all in the very near future.”

CMAT joined Lewis Capaldi and others who performed a secret set at this year’s festival on the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury over the summer. Justin Bieber, Sabrina Carpenter, and Karol G are the only artists who will perform at Coachella next year.

The event, which will take place over two April weekends at Indio’s Empire Polo Club in the California desert, will mark the festival’s 25th anniversary. Iggy Pop, The Strokes, Teddy Swims, The XX, Addison Rae, and other notable acts are just a few examples of standout acts.

Katherine Ryan has admitted to having a “secret hot romance” with a famous celebrity in a candid confession. The comedian, 42, is currently expecting her fourth child with husband Bobby Kootstra but decided to lift the lid on her past love life.

She admitted that she had a short-lived romance with a very well-known person despite not dating anyone well-known “traditionally.” In 2019, Kathleen and Bobby, who has four children, and two daughters, Fenna and Freda, wed their childhood sweetheart.

They had a teenage romance, but Katherine ended it when Violet, 16 years old, was born. Katherine spent a lot of time in the dating pool before coming back together 20 years after their breakup.

She shared that she once experienced a secret hot romance similar to a famous famous hot guy. Katherine did, however, stress that she had to be “discreet” about their fling, saying, “I knew he was hot but everyone else was pretty ugly.”

On Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast, she admitted that the uglier the uglier the hotter she was dating. Although Bobby just happens to be attractive, I’m not a fan of that type.

Everyone I spoke to was a psychotic narcissist, and they probably treated me badly. After they rekindled in 2018, Kathleen has been open about difficulties in her marriage to Bobby, and they wed a year later.

The TV personality said, “I can’t recall everything in my life. I can recall any discretion, Bob. Sometimes they say, “Let that go,” and I’m like I can’t. I have faith in him, but I don’t love him. When we were 16 years old, I recall what he did to me.

Katherine made an appearance on the 2018 episode of the ancestry podcast Who Do You Think You Are? which led her to return to her native Canada to learn about the history of her family. She ran into her ex-boyfriend Bobby in a pub in Ontario, and sparks flew all over him.

However, the couple has been subject to scrutiny because some claim Bobby only came back to Katherine as a result of her success.

In an interview with Louis Theroux, Katherine addressed the criticism with her usual wit, saying, “If it’s fun to think Bobby’s only using me for money and I’ve had a lot of plastic surgery and this and that, then I’m glad I know that and can use that because my job is to make them laugh.

Katherine is persuaded that she is having a boy because she is expecting her third child with Bobby. Katherine told the camera, “I could not have picked a better time to get a full length mirror in the corridor. Just made me feel great, ” “

She made the comment, “This has got to be a boy,” in reference to her bump. She continued, “We don’t know, though.” Never will be certain. Many people e-mail me and say, “Come on. “
