Jessica Biel shared sexy photos of herself to celebrate her 42nd birthday.

The birthday girl took to her Instagram page to remind her followers that she is still a pin-up in every sense of the word.

The star featured in a series of photos wearing an all-black ensemble – and in one eye-popping image, the former teen star showed off her bum.

She wore black stockings with black high heels and a matching miniskirt that went down her thighs. Biel added black sunglasses and a deep blood red lip.

“Not a mafia wife, but a mafia boss,” the star wrote, addressing the current Mob Wife style trend sweeping the country.

She also stood up so fans could get a good look at her entire outfit.

Her leather miniskirt had crossed laces on the sides and an intricate belt.

The TV star pulled a fluffy black fur coat over her shoulders as she placed her hands on her hips boss-style, as if she were a woman in charge.

Meanwhile, her husband Justin Timberlake said she is simply “the best.”

The singer-songwriter and actor made the heartfelt announcement while paying tribute to his wife of more than 11 years on her 42nd birthday on Sunday with a sweet video montage of the actress set to Tina Turner’s classic song The Best.

The clip also shows the couple during some of their most endearing moments together over the years, as well as their two sons Phineas, three, and Silas, eight.

‘There’s no other way to say it. You’re the best. I love you. Happy birthday,” the SexyBack star said of Biel in the caption.

Being a thoughtful husband and father, Timberlake noticed his wife’s birthday post, in which she wore a black leather skirt, matching sweater, sheer stockings, platform heels and a faux fur coat over her shoulders, and he left a heart-eye emoji comment.

As for his own video, it shows Biel playing her many different roles in life as a wife, mother, actress and friend, all while showing off her sense of style.

The first shots of his leading lady show her doing a martial arts spin kick and hitting the weights hard in the gym.

There’s also a sweet moment where she gives one of her boys a big bear hug while in her arms.

In another photo, she struck the perfect modeling pose, while another showed her nailing a balcony walkway.

Towards the end of the clip, the Memphis, Tennessee native added several photos and videos of the couple sharing special moments together and giving each other hugs and kisses.

Biel and Timberlake started dating in January 2007 after meeting at a private club’s surprise party, according to the Economic times.

It wasn’t long before they met again when Biel attended one of Timberlake’s shows.

From there, they started talking over the phone, creating a special bond that led them to the October 2012 wedding ceremony at the Borgo Egnazia resort in Fasano, Italy.

Timberlake’s birthday video for his wife was similar to the one she shared for him on his 43rd birthday on Jan. 31, featuring a montage of clips of the duo over the years, with Biel in the caption, “I’ve got you ALWAYS.” ‘

The pop star is gearing up to hit the road in support of his new album, Everything I Thought It Was, due out on Friday, March 15.

The first North American leg kicks off on April 29 in Vancouver, Canada, and includes stops in cities across the US, Europe and the UK, ending in July at the Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky.

The second leg of the tour resumes this fall and includes eight new shows in the US and Canada.

It’s been more than six years since Timberlake released his last studio album, Man Of The Woods, which debuted on the US Billboard 200 and included the singles Filthy, Supplies, Say Something and Man Of The Woods.

Say Something would even be nominated for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 61st Annual Grammy Awards in 2019.

As a member of NSYNC, Timberlake and company released four studio albums between 1997 and 2001, which helped catapult the boy band to stardom.

Biel actually started her career as a singer, appearing in musical productions until she was cast as Mary Camden in the family drama series 7th Heaven (1996–2006).

The Ely, Minnesota native won the Young Artist Award for her role in the drama film Ulee’s Gold (1997).

Over the years, she has gained even more recognition for her roles in films such as Rules of Attraction (2002), The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), Blade: Trinity (2004), Stealth (2005), The Illusionist (2006), I’m Pronouncing You Now Chuck & Larry (2007), Valentine’s Day (2010), The A-Team (2010), New Year’s Eve (2011), Total Recall (2012) and Hitchcock (2012).

It has been ten years, not two, since the start of the war in Ukraine. And once you understand that, you can start thinking about it clearly. What is Britain’s interest in this conflict? Why are so many in politics and the media cheering the carnage that has devastated Ukraine, the country they claim to love and admire? What did Ukraine gain from it? What can Ukraine and its people possibly gain from it?

All I ask is that you use your mind instead of your emotions. Let’s start with what happened ten years ago. It should be shocking.

In 2014, Ukraine had a rough but functioning democracy. This worked because the country was almost evenly divided between the east and west. Power shifted from one side to the other and in 2010 Viktor Yanukovych won the presidential election with 12.5 million votes, beating his closest rival, Yulia Tymoshenko, with 11.6 million votes.

Unlike the previous elections in 2004, no one seriously contested the outcome. So in February 2014, Yanukovych was the legal head of state, with two years left in his term.

If, as we all say, we believe in democracy, then this is an almost sacred fact. The widespread and justified disgust over the invasion of the US Capitol by Trump supporters on January 6, 2021 is based on the belief that power rests on ballots and not violence.

There is no clearer distinction between democracies and the rest. The losers must respect the result. If they dispute it, they should use legal methods. But generally speaking, if they don’t like the person in power, they have to wait until the next election.

There is hardly a politician or commentator in Britain who has not said this at some point in his or her life. It’s called “loser consent.” Our ordered lives depend on it and we cannot betray it here or abroad.

But now we come to the big exception. In February 2014, a violent gang infiltrated and came to dominate the originally genuine democratic protests in the Ukrainian capital Kiev.

There is much darkness to these bitter days, including the mysterious shootings of mob members. Let’s say there is a serious dispute about who was responsible, but it has not yet been resolved.

In a leaked (and undisputed) telephone conversation, Estonian Foreign Minister Urmas Paet told EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton that there was “increasing understanding” that “behind the snipers was not Yanukovych, but someone from the new coalition’.

A UN report (published on July 15, 2014) concluded that 103 protesters and 20 police officers were killed in these events. I believe at least some of the demonstrators were armed, and the deaths of twenty police officers indicate quite heavy violence on the part of the demonstrators.

Amid all this bloodshed, two serious attempts were made to reach a peaceful, lawful outcome. The first was destroyed, perhaps deliberately, when protesters responded to it on Tuesday, February 18, by setting fire to Yanukovych’s party headquarters. On the night of Thursday, February 20, the foreign ministers of Germany, Poland and France flew to Kiev to conclude a deal with the controversial Ukrainian president.

On February 21, that deal was signed by the president and three leading members of the anti-Yanukovych opposition, in the presence of the three EU ministers.

Yanukovych offered a rewrite of the constitution to suit the opposition; a new government; early presidential elections (by December 2014); and an impartial investigation into the violence (which there never was). All parties refrained from using force.

But that Friday evening, the deal was presented to the crowd in the Maidan, an unelected body with no constitutional or democratic authority. They certainly did not represent the eastern part of the country.

Their leaders rejected the proposal and threatened to “take up arms and go to Yanukovych’s residence” if he did not resign by the next morning. The opposition leaders who had signed the deal crumbled and made no effort to defend it against the screaming anger of the crowd.

Yanukovych, whose security protection had melted away, left Kiev. But he did not resign or leave the country. A recent book by highly respected Ukrainian historian Serhii Plokhy shows beyond doubt that the elected president was still in office and in Ukraine when parliament voted to depose him. The vote was illegal because the parliamentarians did not have the votes required by the constitution. But they continued anyway.

Antidemocratic violence was thus followed by lawlessness. The offer of early elections was brushed aside (were the crowd afraid their faction would lose them?). For example, a mob overthrew a legitimate head of state. And here comes the shocking test. Western countries, including Britain, should have condemned this action. Normally they are vigilant defenders of justice and democracy all over the world, right? But in this case they approved the coup.

The then Secretary of State, William Haag, made a completely incorrect statement in the House of Commons on March 4, 2014. He said Yanukovych had been deposed “with the very large majorities required by the constitution.” This is simply not true. And so the future Lord Hague’s next claim that ‘it is wrong to question the legitimacy of the new authorities’ has seriously misled Parliament.

I have discussed this with Lord Haag. After it became clear that he could not properly defend his actions, he stopped answering and fell silent. Pathetically, an awkward letter I sent to his official address was returned to me, adorned with a sticker stating that he was not known there. If we had a real opposition in this country he would never have been able to get away with this. But we don’t do that.

The events of February 2014 divided Ukraine and started a nasty little war in the east of the country, in which (among other tragedies and horrors) many civilians died at the hands of the Ukrainian military. The disgusting Russian invasion of two years ago, indefensible and barbaric, was the second phase of the war, not its beginning.

Of course, I don’t know who was behind Yanukovych’s overthrow. There were all kinds of Western politicians and intelligence services hanging around Kiev at the time. And the West has flagrantly betrayed its own principles by condoning and forgiving the unpleasant event. But of course that does not prove that any Western country supported the coup against Yanukovych.

Yet I believe that any outside force that supported this coup is as guilty of aggression and warmongering as Russia’s Putin. Think about that as you listen to all those loud, safe voices demanding that we continue to fuel this war, where Ukrainians are dying every day for democratic principles that we do not, in fact, support.

The outfits of the guests at Kate Moss's 50th birthday party in Paris last week were as decadent as the event undoubtedly was. Black lace (Kate), faux fur (Charlotte Tilbury) and animal print (Stella McCartney) ruled.

It was a masterclass in the flashy aesthetic trend on social media and on the high street – a loud rejection of good taste and 'quiet luxury'.

Twenty-somethings call it 'mafia wife', but we think of it more as Trophy Girlfriend, with a touch of Lottery Winner.

Afraid that the look, whisper it, is a little vulgar? Well, from head to toe, for sure. But most of all it's flattering and a lot of fun, a chance to break away from beige and steal the spotlight.

So step away from stealth wealth. welcome to the era of loud luxury…

SUPERSIZE SUNSHINE

Every accessory with the “I only turn left on airplanes” semaphores is Loud Luxe approved. A giant tortoise or black sunglasses match perfectly. And the irony of dark glasses in winter matches the unwavering self-confidence of the Loud Luxer

Formerly a lover of stealth wealth, Kelly Rutherford is a big fan of statement sunglasses, now paired with another statement staple: faux fur. The former Gossip Girl actress also proves that the trend works for both midlifers and millennials.

Rutherford is 55 and perfectly demonstrates that the key to making the look less vulgar and more chic is all about combinations.

Head to her Instagram to see how she makes faux fur and life-size sunglasses suitable for everyday use by pairing them with unpretentious denim and knits.

Faux Fur: NO LONGER A FAUX PAS

When Jennifer Lawrence threw a vintage Bill Blass jacket over a buttery-soft velvet dress at the Golden Globes after-party this month, Loud Luxers drooled.

Because this was no less than a velvet, faux fur-trimmed Bill Blass leopard print coat. Hedonism in the form of a jacket and very Sharon Stone in Martin Scorsese's 1995 classic Casino.

Alexa Chung and Jenna Coleman are fans of the London brand Shrimps, responsible for bringing faux fur to the market with its colorful outerwear.

The Outnet has a beautiful chocolate brown shrimp coat, reduced from £650 to £357 (theoutnet.com). To spruce up an old coat or jumper, turn to Helen Moore (helenmoore.com) for faux fur collars and cuffs costing less than £50.

BET YOUR BOOTS

You know a trend is big news when Taylor Swift comes on board.

Earlier this month, the pop princess stepped out in a pair of £1,875 Jimmy Choo boots, which were all flashy. Ostentation for the feet.

In heels? Bill. Over the knee? Double check. Snakes painted on it? Triple check.

A more versatile option? Plain leather with heels or a suede boot to just above the knee. You'll find yourself grabbing these to wear under midi dresses during the week and tuck under jeans on the weekend.

GOLD FEVER

When it comes to jewelry that screams, it has to be gold. Whether it concerns layered necklaces, earrings such as chocolate coins or heavy watch straps and bracelets.

If you can't afford the real thing, the High Street is awash with costume pieces. For authentic vintage from the 80s – the heyday of gold – visit Susan Caplan (susancaplan.co.uk).

To avoid looking too Bet Lynch, wear one statement item: chunky gold earrings or necklace, never together. Rotary (rotarywatches.com) has a £289 dupe of Cartier's £21,000 gold Tank.

CHANGE YOUR PLACES

If the tiger print mini dress Stella McCartney wore to Kate Moss's party sounds too scary, animal print accessories are an easy way to add a touch of opulence to your wardrobe staples.

Try a leopard print belt or shoe for the perfect balance between appearance and taste.

For the daring, Albaray (albaray.co.uk) has reduced a leopard print coat to £130, which could pass for triple the price.

The most important thing is that no expense is spared on expensive details: with an oversized collar, tie belt, classic epaulettes and cuff straps. Too much – but in a good way.

Ditch the slicked back buns and clear lip gloss, because the fair girl aesthetic is officially out, and in its place is the more glamorous, flamboyant 'mafia woman' look.

The Sopranos celebrated their 25th anniversary this week – and while the New Jersey show may be a few decades old, Adrianna and Carmella's style is more current than ever.

Dua Lipa, Taylor Swift and Jennifer Lawrence have all jumped on the bandwagon – and the stars have been photographed in flashy designs and floor-length fur coats.

A quick look at TikTok shows that the masses are following suit, trading in their minimalist outfits for flashy alternatives.

The mafia women aesthetic may be a micro trend, but the scale is anything but small. The aesthetic has already racked up over 61 million views on TikTok, with one claiming they've been 'waiting since 2010' for the trend to return.

Enthusiasts can join in on the internet obsession in a few simple steps, the first involving leopard print.

Stack up the design as much as possible – statement trousers, faux fur jackets or printed blouses will do.

As well as bold prints, think about adding leather (or pleated), velor and faux fur designs – with double points for fur-lined vests or vests.

The mafia woman aesthetic also includes strict makeup conventions, with an emphasis on red lipstick.

Line the eyes with a sleek black eyeliner and the addition of false eyelashes will get the look going.

When it comes to hair, the mafia woman aesthetic lends itself to a variety of styles.

Curls formed from hair rollers and a half-on-half beehive would fit the bill.

Although sleek ponytails and straightened locks also fit the theme.

Taylor Swift, who is often associated with a more millennial style, has surprisingly jumped on the trend.

Lately she's been seen dressing in statement pieces and red lipstick – and the pop idol, 34, even donned thigh-high boots with a velor playsuit this week.

As always, Dua Lipa is also trendy. The Houdini singer, 28, was spotted leaving the Greenwich Hotel in New York wearing a black lace ensemble and a fur coat.

Actress Jennifer Lawrence has also entered her mafia wife phase, and The Hunger Games actress was photographed leaving the Golden Globes after-party in a flashy velvet look.

Kendall Jenner, 28, started the year in true mafia woman style — on a ski trip in Aspen, wearing a floor-length fur coat paired with black leather heeled boots and matching leather gloves.

Her Christmas aesthetic exuded the same energy – with a fur-lined dress, red lipstick and her brunette locks styled in an updo.

Kylie Jenner has also followed suit, with the 26-year-old wearing an extravagant off-the-shoulder dress with gold sequins on Christmas Day.

Generation Z has also used TikTok to share their thoughts. One content creator was particularly pleased with the newsand said, “I've been waiting for this since 2010.”

Thousands have taken to the platform to share their looks with the same audio in the videos, repeating: 'Clean girl aesthetic is out; mafia woman is in'.

Elsewhere, An The content creator showed off her fur coat and said, “Glad we've left the fair girl aesthetic behind and entered the era of mod women.”

Another user shared her thoughts on the aesthetic, stating, “It's a mafia woman winter 2024.”

People took to the comments to share their thoughts, with one person writing: 'Martinis and mafia wife energy for sure.'

A second added: 'My fur coats are READY.'

A third said: 'I've been waiting my whole life for this to become the trend.'

A fourth wrote: 'This is a trend I can get on with.'

Caitlyn Jenner has criticized the ‘radical rainbow mafia’ and claimed ‘crazy people’ have ‘taken over’ the LGBT community.

In an interview with British comedy legend John Cleese for GB Newstransgender Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner, 74, said: ‘I mean, take transgender people, I think they’ve taken the woke ideology and are just making the most of it and worse.’

Jenner, who was known as Bruce Jenner until her transition in 2015, has previously spoken out about people she calls the “radical rainbow mafia.”

She now claimed that the LGBT community, and especially the trans community, had been “taken over… by a small group of very woke, crazy people.”

“They’re not good for trans people in general because they’re so outspoken and they say ‘trans women are real women’ and they yell at people, and that doesn’t get you anywhere,” she explained. .

The TV personality, who starred in Keeping up with the Kardashians with ex-wife Kris Jenner and their children, also said social media gave this small group of woke people a “big, loud microphone” to express their controversial opinions, what she thinks they do to become famous.

She added: ‘I think this really hurts most trans people. All they want is to just live their lives.”

In the interview as part of Cleese’s show The Dinosaur Hour, she also urged politicians and the media to stay out of the ‘trans business’.

Jenner added that she does not want the government to pay for gender reassignment surgery or become involved in any way.

She said whether someone wants to change gender is a decision between themselves, their parents and a medical professional. If the government wanted to influence this decision, it would be ‘the breakdown of the family’.

She also shared her thoughts on trans women competing in women’s sports, saying it made trans people look “selfish” and “indulgent.”

She said that for trans women competing in women’s sports, it’s all about them and not the women they hit, positioning themselves as victims of the situation.

She previously spoke out on the issue, announcing her support for swimming governing body FINA’s ban on transgender female athletes who have gone through male puberty from competing in swimming races against women.

Jenner said that at the time it is not ‘fair’ for transgender female athletes to compete against biological women.

World Athletics and FIFA were among a number of governing bodies to revise their guidelines on the involvement of transgender athletes following the FINA ruling, which is the strictest of all Olympic sports bodies.

In June last year, the former athlete wrote: ‘It worked! I’ve had a lot of trouble with it – but what’s fair is fair! When you go through male puberty you shouldn’t be able to take medals away from women. Period of time.’

And speaking about transgender UPenn swimmer Lia Thomas in March 2022, she told DailyMail.com, “I respect her right to transition and I hope she has a wonderful, wonderful life. But she grew up as a biological boy and I don’t think it’s fair that she participates in women’s sports.’

Jenner famously won a gold medal in the men’s decathlon at the 1976 Montreal Olympics as Bruce. She also won gold in the same competition at the 1975 Pan American Games in Mexico City.

In 2015, Jenner, who says she is a conservative-leaning libertarian, publicly came out as a trans woman in a Vanity Fair article titled, “Call me Caitlyn.”

Derek Chauvin has been released from the hospital after being stabbed 22 times in prison by a Mexican gangster and FBI informant on Black Friday.

The former Minneapolis police officer, 47, has been sent back to the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson, Arizona to continue his recovery while he serves a 22-year prison sentence for the murder of George Floyd.

John Turscak, 52, has been charged with attempted murder after attacking Chauvin in the prison library with a “makeshift knife.” He reportedly told investigators he chose the day after Thanksgiving because of its symbolic connection to the Black Lives Matter movement, which was sparked in part by Floyd’s killing in May 2020.

The career criminal told corrections officers he would have killed Chauvin if they had not responded so quickly, according to court documents, which also showed guards had to use pepper spray to subdue Turscak.

Floyd’s attorney Gregory Erickson said Chauvin’s family is concerned about his safety in jail in the future after the attack and they are working to have him removed from jail.

“They are still unsure that any changes were made to the flawed procedures that allowed Derek’s attack to occur in the first place,” Erickson said.

Turscak, a career criminal nicknamed “Stranger,” was serving a 30-year prison sentence set to expire in 2026. He now faces decades more in prison and has been transferred to an adjacent federal prison in Tucson.

He told investigators he had been planning the attack for a month because of Chauvin’s high profile, but denied wanting to kill him.

He rose to fame more than two decades ago after providing information that led to the indictments of more than 40 suspected members of the Mexican Mafia while acting as an informant, according to the Los Angeles Times.

While an informant, he was dropped from the investigation and indicted after admitting to a slew of crimes, including drug trafficking, extortion and authorizing crimes.

In addition to linking the stabbing to the BLM movement, Turscak said he chose Black Friday to honor the “Black Hand” symbol, which is associated with the Mexican mafia gang, prosecutors said.

He remains in custody with no attorney listed in the lawsuits, and he has previously represented himself in numerous legal proceedings.

His guilty plea saw him admitting that he conspired to kill a Mexican Mafia rival in the late 1990s, with whom he allegedly fought for control of the cartel’s territory in Los Angeles.

In a 2005 lawsuit reported by the Star Tribune, Turscak requested a transfer from a federal prison in Atlanta because he feared his life was in “imminent danger” from fellow inmates.

He said he felt like he was being targeted “as a result of my previous cooperation with the government in the Mexican Mafia investigation and assistance to authorities here at the prison.”

After his conviction, Turscak said he believed his cooperation with the FBI would have earned him a lighter sentence, adding, “I didn’t do these crimes for fun… I did them because I had to as I wanted to stay alive. ‘

Chauvin is serving 21 years for violating Floyd’s civil rights, while also serving a 22 and a half year sentence for manslaughter.

He was convicted of Floyd’s murder in May 2022 after pressing his knee on Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes, in horror footage witnessed by millions online.

One of the most prominent prisoners in America, he was originally housed in a maximum security prison in Minnesota before being transferred to FCI Tuscon in Arizona in August 2022.

The former police officer’s attorney, Eric Nelson, has previously argued for his client to be kept out of the general prison population because of his client’s notoriety.

As an expected target, Chauvin was mainly held in solitary confinement “largely for his own protection,” Nelson said last year.

Chauvin pleaded not guilty in his murder trial, claiming in his initial comments to the media last week that his trial was a “sham.”

In The Fall of Minneapolis, a new documentary exploring Floyd’s death, Chauvin argued via a prison phone that the death was due to the long wait for an ambulance.

He claimed the ambulance took too long to respond to the incident and that it took an ‘unnormal’ 20 minutes to arrive.

He also repeatedly referred to the fact that he and other officers had been trained in MRT – Maximal Restraint Technique.

A crowd stormed an airport in southern Russia where a commercial flight from Tel Aviv had arrived on Sunday evening, according to Russian state media and videos posted at the scene. The episode followed several anti-Israel protests in the region that could mark a new point of friction for the Kremlin as it wages a war in Ukraine.

Russian authorities announced that the airport where the crowd had formed, in Makhachkala, the capital of the predominantly Muslim region of Dagestan, was temporarily closed and riot police were sent to the scene. Dozens of people were arrested and 20 people were injured, including police officers, officials later said.

The Israeli government said in a statement that it was closely following events and expected Russian authorities to protect all Israeli citizens and Jews, and to take strong action against the rioters and what it described as “the wild incitement directed against Jews and Israelis. ”

President Vladimir V. Putin has identified interethnic and interreligious agreement in Russia as a key policy priority. Anti-Israel and anti-Semitic protests in the North Caucasus, a region where Putin fought his first war as Russian leader, could jeopardize that at a time when the Kremlin is also waging a long and bloody war in Ukraine.

It was not immediately clear what exactly had taken place at the airport as unverified videos of the chaotic scene spread across social media. Some people in the videos held Palestinian flags and carried signs opposing the war in Gaza, and some chanted “Allahu akbar,” Arabic for “God is great.”

This was reported by RIA Novosti, a Russian state news agency a video from what stood, law enforcement officers gathered on the airport tarmac.

In a video verified by The New York Times, a group of dozens of men, some carrying Palestinian flags, swarm around a parked Red Wings airline plane. “There are no more passengers here,” a man in a yellow safety vest tells the rioters, pointing to the plane. He adds: “I am Muslim.”

In another video verified by The Times, filmed from a plane on a tarmac, a crew member can be heard saying: “Please remain seated and do not try to open the door of the plane. There is an angry crowd outside.”

This is reported by the regional police a statement that they had determined that 150 people had actively participated in the riot, and that 60 had been arrested. Nine police officers were injured in the clashes, two of whom were hospitalized, the statement said.

Dagestan’s Health Ministry said a total of 20 people were injured, including police officers and civilians. Ten people were hospitalized, two of whom were in serious condition, the report said. The police said that local investigators had opened a criminal investigation into the riot and promised that anyone who took part would be held accountable.

The Russian aviation authorities said Sunday that the airport “has been cleared of unauthorized access by civilians.” The Dagestan government announced the situation used to be “under control.”

Sergei Melikov, the head of Dagestan, convicted The rioters said that “there was no honor in swearing at strangers, reaching into their pockets and trying to check their passports,” referring to reports that some protesters had asked passers-by at the airport to prove their nationality.

There were also reports of anti-Israel protests in the North Caucasus, a flammable area in Russia’s south. On Saturday, dozens of people gathered outside a hotel in the city of Khasavyurt, Dagestan, after posts on social media claimed that it was ‘full of Jews’. About 200 people also gathered in the central square of Cherkessk, the capital of the Karachay-Cherkessia republic, to protest the possible arrival of Israeli refugees, according to local news media. reported.

The local authorities in Dagestan accused “extremist” channels run by “Russian enemies” for inciting unrest. Some protests were supported by a Telegram channel linked to a former Russian MP, Ilya Ponomaryov, who fled to Ukraine and became a staunch anti-Kremlin politician. Plans to ‘capture’ the passengers of the incoming flight were shared on the Telegram channel, along with screenshots of the flight schedule, on Saturday and Sunday. Local religious figures in the North Caucasus have done so convicted the protests.

Russia has gone to extraordinary lengths to quash protests over its unprovoked invasion of Ukraine, which it falsely claimed was fought to rid the country of “Nazis.”

Ukrainian officials were quick to view the events in Russia as a reflection of a deeper culture of hatred that the Kremlin had fomented for years.

“For Russian propaganda talking heads on official television, hate rhetoric is routine,” President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a statement, pointing to the “terrible videos” coming out of Dagestan. “Hate is what drives aggression and terror. We must all work together to fight hate.”

Three 6 Mafia rapper Gangsta Boo died on New Year’s Day 2023 at the age of 43 from a fentanyl and cocaine overdose.

The autopsy report of the musician, whose real name was Lola Mitchell, states that she died of an accidental overdose caused by fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol.

The day before her death, Gangsta Boo attended a concert in her native Memphis on Saturday with her brother, who had to be hospitalized after overdosing himself, from which he recovered.

Sources said “narcotics were found on her” while authorities were investigating the incident.

According to FOX13 Memphis at the time, Gangsta Boo was found dead around 4 p.m. on New Year’s Day. DJ Paul, a member of Three 6 Mafia, placed what appears to be a commemorative statue of Gangsta Boo at work on a turntable.

Only a small dose of fentanyl is needed to cause an overdose. Just two milligrams — the equivalent of five grains of salt — is enough to cause death. Gangsta Boo’s cause of death was revealed by FOX13 MemphisS.

Fentanyl was originally developed in Belgium in the 1950s to help cancer patients with their pain management.

Given its extreme potency, it has become popular among recreational drug users.

Overdose deaths related to synthetic opioids such as fentanyl rose from nearly 10,000 in 2015 to nearly 20,000 in 2016 – surpassing common opioid painkillers and heroin for the first time.

The ultra-strong opioid mixed with virtually every street drug in the country killed a record 75,000 Americans by 2021, the equivalent of 1,500 lives lost each week.

Because it is incorporated into other popular medications, many people who die from overdoses do not know they are taking fentanyl. Fentanyl is partly responsible for the sharp drop in life expectancy in America over the past three years.

Rapper Coolio died of a fentanyl overdose in September 2022 at the age of 59.

The Gangsta’s Paradise hitmaker, whose real name was Artis Leon Ivey Jr, also had traces of heroin and methamphetamine in his body when he was found dead on Sept. 28 on the bathroom floor of a friend’s LA home.

DJ Paul’s post drew a number of comments from household names such as Ludacris, Paul Wall, 2 Chainz, BReal and Big Boi. Drake posted a memorial that read “Rest in Heaven Gangsta Boo.”

The musical artist began performing in the 1990s with members of the rap group such as Paul and Juicy J, along with Lord Infamous, Crunchy Black and Koopsta Knicca.

She had released solo albums and collaborated with Three 6 Mafia on their first five studio albums, including 1995’s Mystic Stylez, 1996’s Chapter 1: The End, and 2001’s Choices.

Gangsta Boo left the group in the early 2000s and released three solo albums: 1998’s Inquiring Minds, 2001’s Both Worlds *69, and 2003’s Inquiring Minds II: The Soap Opera.

She had also collaborated with artists such as OutKast, Lil Jon, TI, The Game, and Gucci Mane. In recent years she has collaborated with artists Run The Jewels, consisting of Killer Mike and El-P.

She had a strong social media presence, with more than 266,000 followers on Instagram, and only posted to Instagram Stories on Saturday.

Gangsta Boo also collaborated with music outlet Uproxx, as last month she posted a clip of a performance of her song I’m Fresh.

She captioned the clip: ‘#wassupmane Had fun doing this live session of “I’m Fresh” (produced by my brother @nickhook) at @uproxxmusic@uproxx S/O to the ppl behind the scenes who made this possible! #theBooPrint#BooRoxx#effortless.’

Her most recent post came three days ago when she was pictured with boyfriend MJG in an image tagged in the Orange Mound neighborhood of Memphis.

She captioned the clip: ‘MJG about my erratic behavior #busy.’

Speak with Passion of the Weiss in 2012, she was asked what she most wanted people to remember about her.

“I just want people to know I’m a really hard worker,” she said. “I am human, just like everyone else. I write all my own music. I’ve helped other people come up with concepts. I have helped many people to get started. I just want to be respected.

“When it’s all said and done, I want to be remembered as Gangsta Boo from 3-6 Mafia. The first lady of 3-6 mafia. The first lady of crunk music. The first lady who brought a platinum plaque to Memphis. The first lady who brought a gold plaque to Memphis.”

She continued, “I’m the only female rapper in Tennessee who’s ever done that and I’ll probably be the only one who ever will. I just want to be known as someone who put her heart into her music and really valued her fans.

‘Cause if it wasn’t for my fans, like I said, I definitely wouldn’t still be doing this. My fans are my motivation. I love my fans.’
