James Martin has lifted the lid on his incredible car collection, which is worth more than £5million and includes a classic Ferrari and Colin McRae rally car.

The 51-year-old TV chef, who recently stepped out with his new girlfriend Kim Johnson, is known as a petrolhead and has a huge collection of vehicles.

After starting out as a chef, James has become a household name after hosting both Saturday Kitchen and Saturday Morning.

But James is not only known for his skills in the kitchen, but also for his love of cars, which he keeps in a garage at his home in Hampshire.

The quaint car village is haunted by beautiful hand-painted garages, which he showed off during a 2022 appearance on Jodie Kidd’s show, Kidd in a Sweet Shop.

It is thought that James first fell in love with motorcycles when he was given a toy Ferrari 288 GTO as a young boy.

James now owns a real Ferrari, the 1965 275 model in silver, which underwent a major restoration, including the installation of a new engine.

James admits he still gets behind the wheel to take it for a spin, describing the classic supercar as ‘absolutely incredible’.

The car has also undergone a lot of restoration work, including the installation of a new roll-off engine.

Elsewhere in his collection is a beautiful Ford GT40, which he collaborated with three-time British touring car champion Jason Plato.

It even won the Whitsun Trophy at Goodwood Revival and competed in hill climbing in Switzerland.

James said: “It’s a great piece of kit. Not until you turn it on and until you drive it, there is nothing like it on the road. No.

“There’s nothing like this on the road. Nothing. The dealer said ‘here we go’, and I said ‘done, sold’. I’d never driven it before.’

Another in his collection is a Ford Escort that finished second in the 1969 Acropolis Rally.

He also owns a rare Mini Cooper previously driven by British world rally star Paddy Hopkirk and Rauno Aaltonen.

Another vehicle he drives a lot is this BMW 760Li, which singer Jay Kay told him to buy.

James said: ‘A lot of people buy RSA Audis and stuff like that, but the 760Li is absolutely mega – V12, 700bhp… Mega.’

James also owns an Alfa Romeo ATL which is currently being restored.

The video of James’ car collection comes after his split of 12 years from girlfriend Louise Davies was revealed.

The celebrity chef, 51, and the TV producer, 47, first started dating in 2011 after meeting on the set of Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?

But a spokesperson for James confirmed they split in December 2023 and remain close friends.

It comes as James was seen browsing watches with personal trainer Kim Johnson in Mayfair on Saturday.

James cut a casual figure for the outing as he wore a black vest over a light blue shirt and dark blue jeans.

Personal trainer Kim, 38, dressed up in a black sweater and navy jacket for the outing, teaming it with a leather miniskirt.

Kim is the ex-wife of businessman Arun Nayar, who was married to actress Elizabeth Hurley from 2007 to 2011.

Their breakup was made public after it was discovered she had a romance with cricketer Shane Warne after the split.

For deep-pocketed sailors who aren’t content with just the ocean to swim in, a $60 million superyacht comes with its own indoor pool, complete with Greek statues.

Built by Turkey-based luxury yacht builder Bilgin, Leona features a unique beach club that looks like something out of a five-star spa or hotel, with the tiled pool surrounded by a marble floor and marble-worked panels on the walls.

One TikTok video, uploaded by luxury real estate expert Enes Yilmazer, takes viewers inside the chic pool area and he reveals that the design was dreamed up by the yacht’s billionaire owner, but there’s no word on who the mystery buyer is.

Another video, created by yacht builder Bilgin, offers a more in-depth tour of the bullet-shaped 263-foot yacht, which celebrated its launch in October 2022.

In addition to a swimming pool, the owner installed several other luxury amenities, highlights of which include a fire pit, aquarium, hookah room, piano bar and a red velvet-lined cinema room.

There’s also a “palatial owner’s suite,” seen in the video, complete with a circular bath, a private indoor lounge and a terrace with a spa tub.

As for the interior, an opulent theme runs throughout, with gold and marble used in abundance.

Boat international reveals that the owner’s representative turned to London’s H2 Yacht Design to create a “playful rich and layered interior.”

The company’s design director James Bermudez explained: ‘Leona’s interior employs a bold, opulent palette with a high level of intricate detail.

‘[There is a] intensive use of decorative finishes and interesting textures: glossy lacquers, backlit onyx, figurative wood, gold inlays and luxurious textiles are combined throughout.

‘We soon discovered that the client did not respond positively to modest design.

“He required us to be bold and turn up the volume.”

While Bilgin spread out the furniture, the designers also installed many pieces from fashion designer Roberto Cavalli, who is known for his sexy designs and avid use of animal prints.

For the captain and crew, Boat International notes that the architects installed “well-thought-out spaces.”

The superyacht location reveals: ‘Both the captain and first officer have cabins on the bridge deck.

‘In addition to a large crew mess, officers also have access to day rooms on the tank deck.’

After videos of the yacht’s indoor pool emerged, commentators seemed to have mixed feelings about it.

One viewer saw the usefulness of this unique feature, writing, “There’s obviously a pool because if it’s raining outside you can swim without getting wet.”

However, another commenter said: ‘What a waste. You have the whole damn ocean. What’s the point?’

Nearly seven years after disbanding following the sudden death of singer Chester Bennington, Linkin Park has dropped a new song.

Actually, the previously unreleased song, Friendly Fire, was written during the One More Light (2017) sessions, which was their seventh and final studio album, but it was left off the record.

It now serves as the lead single for their new greatest hits album, titled Papercuts – Singles Collection 2000-2023, out April 12.

As part of the promotion, the band also released a music video for Friendly Fire featuring never-before-seen studio and live footage.

Lead guitarist Brad Delson revealed that the song was “always one of our favorite songs from the One More Light sessions,” but they just couldn’t get it right at the end of recording for the album, according to People.

“Something wasn’t quite right, so as soon as we reached the finish line we chose to put it aside for later,” Delson, 46, added.

The guys in the band hadn’t thought about the song in years, but it resurfaced when they started choosing the songs for the greatest hits compilation.

“When we started looking for an unreleased song to include in our greatest hits collection, I was blown away by the power of the song, the power of the storytelling, the power of the vocals, the sonic landscape and I actually thought it was. closer than we might have realized at the time,” the guitarist explained.

The band’s rapper, guitarist and co-founder Mike Shinoda confessed that the time the boys spent together putting together the tracklist for Papercuts was a “joy.”

“Each song in this collection is both a unique moment in our timeline and an evolving story that is both ours and yours,” said the 47-year-old musician and producer.

‘From our first release, One Step Closer to the brand new Friendly Fire, this tracklist covers all our chapters so far.’

Formed in 1996, Linkin Park rose to international fame with the massive success of their debut studio album, Hybrid Theory (2000), which sold more than 32 million copies worldwide over the years.

The debut featured the power of the four hit singles One Step Closer, In The End, Crawling and Papercut.

Featuring the vocal interplay of Bennington (vocals) and Shinoda (rapper) collaborating on some songs, the band also includes Brad Delson (guitar), Rob Bourdon (drums), Joe Hahn (DJ and visual artist) and Dave Farrell (bass ).

Linkin Park would also achieve more mainstream success with the release of their follow-up album Meteora (2003), which sold over 16 million copies.

They maintained their staying power over the years despite taking breaks to work on side projects, releasing all five of their remaining albums, including One More Light (2017), which was released two months before Bennington’s death by suicide came onto the market. July 20, 2017.

In total, Linkin Park has sold more than 100 million albums worldwide.

Born in Phoenix, Arizona, Bennington was 41 years old when he died.

He is survived by his wife of about 11 years, Talinda Bentley Bennington, and six children.

The band has been largely on hiatus since the Linkin Park and Friends: Celebrate Life tribute concert in honor of Chester Bennington in October 2017.

The band released another previously unreleased song Lost, featuring Bennington, in February 2023 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Meteora album.

The upcoming Papercuts album contains 20 songs: Crawling, Faint, Numb/Encore, Papercut, Breaking The Habit, In The End, Bleed It Out, Somewhere I Belong, Waiting For The End, Castle Of Glass, One More Light, Burn It Down , What I’ve done, QWERTY, One step closer, New gap, Leaving the rest out, Lost, Numb and Friendly fire.

Fans can pre-order or save the album Papercuts – Singles Collection 2000-2023 ahead of its April 12 release.

BANKnotes featuring King Charles will soon be in circulation.

The King's portrait will appear on existing designs of the £5, £10, £20 and £50 notes.

1

On June 5 this year, banknotes with a portrait of the King will be issued for the first time.

His Majesty's portrait will appear on the existing designs of all four banknotes, without any further changes to the banknotes.

Banknotes bearing the portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II remain legal tender and will continue to circulate alongside the banknotes of King Charles III.

The new banknotes will only replace the worn-out banknotes and meet the general increase in demand.

The Bank of England has said: “The public will see King Charles III's new banknotes very gradually.”

The public will be able to exchange a limited value of current or old series banknotes for new King Charles III banknotes through the Bank of England from June 5 for a short time.

Further information on this will be provided by the Bank of England closer to the issue date.

The current series of banknotes features the following characters in the designs: Winston Churchill (£5), Jane Austen (£10), JMW Turner (£20) and Alan Turing (£50).

Although the notes entering circulation on June 5 will feature a new portrait of the monarch, the back of each note will remain unchanged.

The new banknotes featuring King Charles' portrait were first unveiled in December last year.

Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said at the time: 'I am very proud that the Bank is releasing the design of our new banknotes, which will feature a portrait of King Charles III.

This is an important moment

“This is an important moment as The King is only the second monarch to appear on our banknotes.”

When Queen Elizabeth II came to power, coins bearing the image of her father, George VI, remained in circulation for almost twenty years after his death.

They were eventually removed when decimalization was introduced in 1971.

But after one monarch dies and another monarch lines up to take his place, that means a whole host of other things have to change.

Coins with the new King came into circulation at the beginning of December 2023.

The 50p has officially entered circulation and is available at post offices across the UK.

In keeping with tradition, the King's portrait faces to the left – in the opposite direction of the deceased Queen.

On the new 50 cent coin featuring King Charles III, the Monarch is not wearing a crown.

This is because kings are not often depicted on coins wearing a crown, although Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II did have one.

All British coins bearing the image of Queen Elizabeth II remain legal tender and remain in active circulation.

They will be replaced over time as they become damaged or worn and to meet the demand for additional coins, just like banknotes.

Historically, coins with different monarchs have co-circulated, ensuring a smooth transition with minimal environmental impact and costs.

How to spot rare coins and banknotes that could be worth hundreds

Rare coins and banknotes hidden at the back of your sofa can be sold for hundreds of euros.

If you are lucky enough to find a rare €10 note, you may be able to sell it for several times its face value.

You can recognize rare notes by looking at the serial numbers.

These numbers are found on the side with the Monarch's face, just below the £10 denomination in the corner of the banknote.

Even if you have a serial number on your note that is quite quirky, you can cash in thousands of euros.

For example, one seller pocketed £3,600 after finding a specific serial number on one of their banknotes relating to the year Jane Austen was born.

You can check if your notes are worth anything on eBay, just check 'completed and sold items' and filter by the highest value.

It gives you an idea of ​​what people are willing to pay for some banknotes.

But keep in mind that yours is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it.

This is also the case for coins, you can determine how rare your coin is by looking at the most recent scarcity index.

The next step is to look at what has sold on eBay recently.

Experts at Change Checker recommend looking at “sold listings” to ensure the coin sold for the specified amount rather than just sitting on the exchange.

People can list things for whatever price they want, but that doesn't mean it will sell for that amount.

We further explain how to find out if you have a rare coin worth thousands at home.

As product placement goes, it doesn’t get much better than the Super Bowl. 

A communal TV experience shared across all 50 American states and beyond, this year’s event  – won by Kansas City Chiefs for the third time in five years – drew in an average 114 million viewers across the globe. 

No surprise, given NFL games have made up an impressive 93 of the top 100 broadcast programs across the United States over the last year. 

That kind of attention brings in big money, big brands and even bigger celebrities – as every commercial break that interspersed the Chiefs’ victory over San Francisco 49ers illustrated.  

Indeed, companies have forked out close to $7 million a piece for a 30-second spot in the hope of capitalizing on the commercial buzz with a series of high-profile celebrity endorsements. 

Only a Super Bowl could encourage Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez to flog donuts, Sir Anthony Hopkins to play a football mascot and the classically trained Patrick Stewart climbing a ‘mountain of entertainment.’ 

But who else featured during Sunday night’s extravaganza? Here is a roundup of this year’s standouts.

DUNKIN’ DONUTS 

Dunkin Donuts has finally unveiled their full Super Bowl ad featuring Ben Affleck trying to start his pop music career in a rather hilarious fashion.

After numerous teases over the past week featuring influencer Charli D’Amelio, Dunkin Donuts has released their full Super Bowl spot during the first half of the big game.

The earlier teases showed the 51-year-old actor and filmmaker trying to break into the music biz, though the full ad revealed who was helping him along the way, including his childhood friend Matt Damon.

The ad spawned mixed reactions from fans on social media, with some calling it the best of the night and some calling it ‘cringe’ during the game, which the Kansas City Chiefs won 25-22 over the favorited San Francisco 49ers in overtime.

The ad begins with Lopez, 54, in a recording studio, with a bejeweled custom Dunkin’ cup at her side, while Jack Harlow tries to talk Affleck out of it.

‘I don’t think you should do this,’ Harlow says, though Affleck explains why he has to do this.

‘Last year she came to my work. Now I’ve gotta show her what I can do,’ Affleck insists, while, inside the studio, JLo is told that Affleck is here… which she’s not happy about.

Affleck bursts through the door stating, ‘What up, Brooklyn! For your consideration, here comes the Boston Massacre,’ Affleck says, as Lopez closes her eyes in disbelief.

A banner unfurls behind Affleck as he reveals his group is called The Dunkings, revealing that he has NFL legend Tom Brady on the keyboard.

Affleck adds that his ‘partner’ needs no introduction as he throws it over to a downtrodden Matt Damon, who says, ‘Sometimes it’s really hard to be your friend.’

Affleck adds, ‘You said you were gonna support me?’ before Affleck and his Dunkings break into the song.

Fat Joe arrives and leans over Lopez, who is still in disbelief, as Damon riffs off his famous Good Will Hunting line and says, ‘How do you like those… donuts… I’m so sorry.’

Affleck adds, ‘You had to see it, but I forgive you. Lay us on the track,’ as Brady asks, ‘Are we gonna be on the album?’

Lopez adds, ‘We talked about this,’ as Affleck adds, ‘That’s cold. You’re blinded by those pinstripes,’ referring to his Boston Red Sox’s rival the New York Yankees.

He adds, ‘There goes Babe Ruth’ as he walks into the bannr, while JLo says Tom Brady can stay as the others leave.

Outside, Damon tells Affleck, ‘Remember when I told you I’d do anything for you? This is anything,’ as Affleck responds, ‘Chill, they’re naming a drink after us,’ as the ad comes to an end. 

VERIZON 

Beyoncé surprised fans by teasing forthcoming new music as she stunned in a Verizon Super Bowl ad — for which she reportedly received a $30million payout — on Sunday.

The 42-year-old icon — who attended the big game alongside other notable stars — moved through various personas in the minute-long commercial, attempting to ‘break the internet’ with over-the-top performances.

It comes after days earlier the phone company teased the singer’s appearance in the advert with two brief bits shared on social media.

In one clip, actor Tony Hale squeezed lemons behind a lemonade stand and said: ‘Hold up, she wants me to squeeze all these lemons by myself? This better work.’

The clue was a reference to the pop star’s 2016 surprise Lemonade visual album. 

And just like she did in eight years ago, the Grammy-winning musician blew fans away on Sunday as she dropped two new singles.

As she announced an upcoming album, a country-genre follow-up to 2022’s Renaissance, she also released two new singles in tandem.

Along with the music came breathtaking artwork, which included a very scantily clad Beyoncé, who posed pantless.

In one snapshot, she put on a very busty display as she wore a silver hardware bra underneath a cropped black blazer.

The caption to her 319 million followers, she wrote, ‘TEXAS HOLD ‘EM and 16 CARRIAGES out now.’

The 16 CARRIAGES artwork was a closeup black and white image of Beyoncé — full name Beyoncé Knowles Carter — in a black cowboy hat.

She rocked a voluminous and wispy bob haircut underneath the headgear.

And the Houston, Texas native was clad in a black cowboy shirt with stud detailing around the collar.

UBER EATS 

David and Victoria Beckham have been praised by Super Bowl viewers for their hilarious commercial for Uber Eats.

The former footballer, 48, and his fashion designer wife, 49, were called the ‘best part’ of the night, with several fans saying they were ‘still laughing’ over the hysterical advert.

The star-studded commercial plays on the premise that to remember what Uber Eats delivers you have to forget something else and ‘make a little room in your brain.’

It also features appearances from Friends stars Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer, rapper Jelly Roll and singer Usher.

The ad sees people forgetting important details, like Jennifer not remembering who David is or Jelly Roll forgetting he has face tattoos.

One scene shows the Beckhams in their kitchen, with David saying to former Spice Girl Victoria: ‘Remember when you used to be a Pepper Lady?’

Victoria, who is hilariously wearing a T-shirt that reads ‘David’s wife’ responds: ‘Wasn’t it the Cinnamon Sisters?’

David then suggests: ‘Basil Babes?’ while Victoria guesses: ‘Paprika Girls’ leading David to scoff: ‘No that’s absurd.’ 

The funny clip was praised on social media, with one person gushing: ‘My favorite couple Victoria and David Beckham on the #SuperBowl ads. Truly keeps giving!’

STATE FARM  

State Farm debuted its highly-anticipated new Super Bowl commercial, reuniting  Arnold Schwarzenegger with his Twins and Junior co-star Danny DeVito.

Off the top of the hilarious advert, a man comes running out of a burning home with two puppies in hand seconds before a fiery explosion.

Once the smoke and fire clear it becomes apparent that it’s the Terminator himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who’s the hero, as he hands a mother of two the two dogs.

‘Thank you Agent State Farm,’ the women tells the former California governor, who’s dressed in the insurance company’s trademark red shirt and tan khakis.

‘Like a good neighbaaa State Farm is there,’ he shoots back, in a classic mispronunciation of the word neighbor, which the director tries to correct after one take amid a movie-like set.

‘Hey Arnold, I’m hearing neighba. It’s neighbor,’ he tells the actor, who responds by saying, ‘That’s what I said neighba.’

The two proceed to go back and forth about how to pronounce the world neighbor.

Frustrated by his lack of being able to properly pronounce the word the director announces, ‘Let’s go again.’

The shoot picks back up with Schwarzenegger piloting a stationary helicopter in a CGI sequence where he again drops the company’s trademark line: ‘Like a good neighbaaa State Farm is there.’

And once again, the two have the same problem, forcing the director to yell ‘cut’.

‘Now what,’ the longtime Hollywood leading man yells out to the director.

‘It’s neighbor,’ he tells the Twins actor, who screams out: ‘Neighbaaa.’  

Enter actor Kevin Miles, best known as Jake From State Farm, who proceeds to try and educate Schwarzenegger on the proper way to say ‘neighbor’.

‘Yea, neighbaaa, just like it’s written on the papaaa,’ he tells Jake while holding the script for the production.

Eventually, during the world premiere of ‘Agent State Farm’ a new clip is shown on the large movie screen, only Danny DeVito has now joined the cast, as part of the director’s script change.

The two try to do the trademark line together, only Arnold pauses to hear how his Twins co-star does a perfect take.

‘Like a good neighbor State Farm is there,’ De Vito says perfectly, prompting a nod of frustration from his co-star.

In the last scene, the two actors are seen sitting together in the theater seats when Schwarzenegger turns to him and says: ‘You are a backstabbaaa,’ for which DeVito corrects him one last time: ‘I am a backstabber.’ 

STōK COLD BREW COFFEE 

Wrexham A.F.C. features in an ad for STōK Cold Brew Coffee, also starring Welsh actor Sir Anthony Hopkins.

After gearing himself up with a pep talk, Hopkins dons a Wrex the Dragon costume, the football club’s mascot.

‘Now hear me roar!’ Hopkins shouts before popping on a giant red dragon head and running along the field as the crowd erupts in cheers.

Languishing in the locker room after his performance, Hopkins says: ‘Ironically it is the cold brew that births the fire-breathing dragon,’ before taking a refreshing sip of the beverage.

It is revealed that the drink is the team’s official sponsor.

SQUARESPACE  

Squarespace called on Martin Scorsese and his daughter Francesca for their Super Bowl spot.

The ad plays heavily on their 57-year age gap, with the famed director telling his daughter he’s trying to make a ‘really, really short film. Like 30 seconds’ about a website.

This prompts Francesca to teach her father how websites work, starting with domains, before pulling up the website-building platform.

The filmmaker criticizes Francesca’s choice of fonts before they settle on one that earns his approval.

‘This website slaps, kid, doesn’t it?’ Scorsese wisecracks, much to the embarrassment of his daughter.

‘I really regret ever teaching you that,’ she says.

NYX COSMETICS 

‘It’s time to pump yourself up baby,’ Cari B declared in her new and controversial commercial that aired during the Super Bowl LVIII broadcast from Las Vegas.

A 30-second spot for NYX Cosmetics was approved by NFL representatives, but it turns out the second half of the original 60-second spot was deemed to be NSFW (not safe for work).

The rapper, 31, showcased her womanly curves in a skin-tight bright orange bodysuit as she advertised the company’s Duck Plump Lip Gloss. 

While dancing on stage with an array of colorful characters, the Shake It starlet could be heard seductively purring like a kitty just before she demanded: ‘Be bigger. So big. Plumper,’ which led to her to tell her audience to ‘feel the plumping power.’

‘New Duck Plump Lip Gloss from NYX Professional Makeup,’ she announced at the end of the segment.

It turns out before airing during the Super Bowl the original commercial was cut down to 30-seconds due to its sexual connotations.

As a result, the second half of the spot, the last 15 seconds, fades to black and then shows a QR code directing viewers to watch the unedited, 60 second version that’s now being shared across across NYX Professional Makeup’s YouTube and social channels, according to Billboard.

The uncut version was released on the internet ahead of the kickoff for the big game, garnering more than two million views on YouTube by press time. 

PARAMOUNT+

Paramount Plus recruited English acting legend Sir Patrick Stewart for its Super Bowl spot, where he stars alongside a hodgepodge of characters from the network’s franchises.

Stewart joins Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and Drew Barrymore as the trio embark on a trip up ‘Paramount Mountain,’ with the star athlete quipping: ‘If it were a football, I’d be able to reach the top.’

‘How about a football-shaped head?’ Stewart asks before turning to the titular character from the animated series ‘Hey Arnold!’

A debate about the morality of throwing a child ensues before Stewart reveals he is wearing a football uniform. He lobs Arnold through the air – only for the animated character to faceplant into the side of the mountain.

The network promises ‘a mountain of entertainment’ through its streaming platform.

BMW

Christopher Walken stars in the BMW ‘Talkin like Walken’ ad, playing himself as he meets a series of celebrities who all try to imitate him.

The Queens native grows increasingly frustrated as barbers, waiters and drive-thru workers attempt to nail his distinctive New York accent.

A notable face is Usher, this year’s halftime performer.

‘Don’t you got somewhere to be?’ Walken asks – a nod to his big night.

The ad closes with the tagline: ‘There’s only one Christopher Walken. And only one ultimate driving machine.’

DORITOS 

Two grandmothers engage in a car chase with ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ actor Danny Ramirez, who has swiped the last pack of Doritos from a store shelf.  

They pursue him on their mobility scooters before ziplining to kick him to the floor and take back the chips. 

Just when they think the chips them all to themselves, Wednesday star Jenny Ortega reappears to politely take the bag from their hands.

MOUNTAIN DEW 

Aubrey Plaza puts the drink brand’s tagline ‘having a blast’ to the test in this advert. 

In her well-known deadpan delivery, Plaza shares how drinking a Mountain Dew can liven up any situation. 

She goes to a pool party, busts a move at a disco and even flies on a dragon with her ‘Parks and Recreation’ co-star Nick Offerman.

M&M’S 

M&Ms indulged in a star-studded advert where the chocolate company shows off its new ring, promising to gift to the runners-up of the Super Bowl. 

With help from ‘almost champions’ Dan Marino, Terrell Owens and Bruce Smith, the chocolatiers say they have transformed peanut butter M&Ms into diamonds. 

Scarlett Johansson even makes a guest appearance.

OREO 

Oreo’s ad imagines people through history using an Oreo to make difficult decisions. 

They twist the Oreo and then if the frosting is on the right side, they make one choice, and if it is on the left they make another, like flipping a coin. 

Kris Jenner uses the technique in the early 2000s to decide if her family should appear in a new reality show.

POPEYES  

Fast food chain Popeyes splashed out on a 60-second spot featuring actor and comedian Ken Jeong. 

In the ad, Jeong has been cryogenically frozen for 52 years to live until the invention of the best chicken wing. 

When he awakes he discovers the Popeyes chicken wing as well as driverless cars, drones and massage chairs. 

PRINGLES  

A gas station clerk points out that Chris Pratt with a moustache looks like the Pringles man.

She shares a photo of him online and he goes viral. 

‘What happens when Chris Pratt grows a stache and suddenly looks like Mr. P?’ the ad asks. ‘Well, the world can’t unsee it.’ 

T-MOBILE

Jason Momoa showed off his singing skills in a T-Mobile advert, teaming up with ‘Scrubs’ costars Zach Braff and Donald Faison.

Braff and Faison welcome the actor to their neighborhood with a song and dance.

The ‘Aquaman’ star sings, does a flip, gets doused with water and crosses paths with ‘Flashdance’ movie actress Jennifer Beals, who makes a surprise cameo.

Travis Kelce And Jason Kelce have become amateur art enthusiasts after fans began capturing some of their greatest football moments in paint form.

The brothers praised several artists during the Friday, February 2, bonus episode of their “New heightspodcast, including an unknown creator who painted Taylor Swift And Kylie Kelce in their piece.

“Very cool. Look, you've got the whole family,” Travis, 34, said Friday, to which Jason, 36, agreed, adding, “Yeah, I liked that about this one.”

The artwork depicted 34-year-old Swift holding herself up her iconic hand heart while advocating for Travis during the Kansas City Chiefs game against the Buffalo Bills last month. Kylie, 31, can be seen in the background wearing a Philadelphia Eagles jersey celebrating Jason's career as the centerpiece of the NFL team.

“You can see it's Tay…and the little girl with the Taylor sign in the back!” pic.twitter.com/0oJunoLufe

— Tayvis Natie (@tayvisnation) February 2, 2024

The centerpiece, however, is a shirtless Jason holding a nondescript beer can, which he did during the January 21 game in Buffalo, New York, in which the Chiefs defeated the Bills 27-24. The event marked the first time Jason and his wife Swift, who has been dating Travis since the summer of 2023, met in person.

“You can see it's Ky in the back. That's Tay, Mom. Yeah, those are good things,” Travis told listeners as he pointed to their family and loved ones. He noted that you “even [see] the little girl with the 'Taylor' sign.”

Jason famously held up an 8-year-old girl named Ella during the football game so Swift, who was in a VIP suite, could see her message. “I've been a fan since I was about five years old,” Ella told News10NBC on January 22. [Taylor Swift’s] personality and how she sings and when I heard she was going to the Bills game I was like, 'Yes!' Buffalo Bills plus Taylor Swift equals best first game ever!”

Ella remembered trying to get Jason's attention when he was in the suite. “And then Jason drank his beer and opened the window,” Ella said. “He climbed out of the suite, gave the girl next to us a picture and then said, 'Let's show Taylor this sign.'”

Although Jason liked how accurately his bare stomach looked in the painting, he told Travis, their father: Ed Kelce, which he couldn't get over. “What I really like about this is daddy,” Jason explained on Friday.

Travis acknowledged that the photo looked exactly like their father. He joked: “Dad has never shown such emotion before. I've never seen my father raise his hands.”

The siblings continued to gush over several other fan submissions, including an “impressive” piece someone did with the tip of a football. Their favorite, however, was the last painting, which showed Jason's shirtless body with different elements of color and light.

“She did a good job,” Jason said of the painting I submitted in @jmaddalina. “This one most resembles what you would see from a museum. … There is an emotion in the painting.”

Travis was stunned and revealed, “This is the one I was thinking about in my head. You feel the passion. I would like to have that framed.”

The Kansas City Chiefs are finding romance in football this NFL season.

The team’s official social media page was plagued a short movie of an upcoming trailer starring Tyler Hynes And Jannel Parrish on Tuesday, January 9, titled Falling for footballin which a Chiefs fan, played by Hynes, must choose between his love for his favorite team or his girlfriend, played by Parrish.

The clip starts with Parrish catching Hynes shopping for Chiefs fan merchandise. “You’re not just a fan, it’s your livelihood,” she says through tears, declaring “it’s the Chiefs or me” before running away. As Hynes starts to chase after her, he stops to shout, “Come on, Amber… no one hates football.”

According to the Chiefs, the full trailer – which appears to be a playful parody of Hynes and Parrish’s Hallmark films – will be released on Wednesday, January 9. “No one hates football… watch the full trailer of Falling for football tomorrow morning ,” the team captioned the post.

It’s unclear whether the trailer will simply be a promo for the team or precede an actual TV movie, but the team has also posted a poster via their Instagram who channels Hallmark’s famous Christmas novels and writes, “It’s the late season, and it’s not the holiday without a little made-for-TV movie magic.”

The artwork shows Hynes and Parrish gazing lovingly into each other’s eyes with a Chiefs logo between them, along with the words: “Coming to a stadium near you.”

Donna Kelce reposted the poster via her Instagram story, leading some fans to speculate whether Falling for football is inspired by her son – and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end – Travis Kelce’s romance with Taylor Swift.

“If this isn’t the true story of Taylor and Travis, I’m out. ,” one fan wrote in the comments section of the Chiefs post. Another added: “OK marketing. This is awesome,” while a third user joked that the Chiefs “missed the opportunity to not have Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift as main characters .”

For his part, Hynes said, “It’s me. Hi. I’m the problem, it’s me. .”

Falling for football isn’t the first time Travis and Swift’s romance has been referenced in line with NFL promotional materials. Last month, a promo that aired on ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown featured the Hallmark screenwriter Julie Sherman Wolfe in which she explains how the 2023-2024 football season was like a Christmas movie she would write for her network.

Wolfe, who has written 24 films for Hallmark, explains in the video that the NFL, like her films, has been “full of twists and turns” and “moments of pure joy.” As she talks about how there has also been “unexpected romance” for some players, the screen flashes to a moment where Travis, 34, is on the field as Swift, also 34, cheers him on in the stands.

“Yes, someone’s heart can be broken, and not everyone gets the big kiss in the end, but all that’s left, especially at Christmas, is love,” she continues. “And in the end, everyone will have their storybook ending. It is Hallmark after all.”

Travis and Swift’s relationship has been the Hallmark-esque love story of the NFL since the pair were first linked in September 2023. The couple has made it a point to support each other in their respective careers in recent months , meaning Swift has shown up at several Chiefs games around the country.

While some fans of the sport have pushed back on heavy coverage of Swift during games, Swift previously shared during her December 2023 TIME cover story that doesn’t concern itself with the “Dads, Brads and Chads” she might upset by standing up for her boyfriend.

“If you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, that we stand up for each other, that there are other people there and we don’t care,” Swift explains. ‘The opposite of that is that you have to go to extreme lengths to make sure no one knows you’re seeing someone. And we are just proud of each other.”

Prince Andrew’s former girlfriend Lady Victoria Hervey has posed in a T-shirt featuring the infamous photograph of the disgraced royal standing with his arm around Virginia Giuffre, with the word ‘faked’ emblazoned across it.

Socialite and former ‘It Girl’ Lady Victoria, 47, who is the daughter of the 6th Marquess of Bristol, previously repeated claims made by Prince Andrew, Duke of York in a disastrous 2019 Newsnight interview that the image of him and Virginia with Ghislaine Maxwell in the background had been doctored.

Virginia claims she was trafficked by the late Jeffrey Epstein and the now-jailed Ghislaine, and forced to have sex with the royal on three occasions when she was 17, claims Prince Andrew strenuously denies.

On Friday, Lady Victoria, who briefly dated Prince Andrew in 1999, took to her Instagram Stories to share a picture of herself in her T-shirt while holidaying in Barbados. 

In an edited version of the picture which shows Prince Andrew standing with his arm around Virginia, she is seen standing alone against a grey and yellow wall, with what appears to be a blue coat slung over her right arm.

Lady Victoria shared the photo on social media in February 2022 and captioned the image: ‘Anyone familiar with this photo?’, seeming to suggest that it was a mock up of the original image. No other version of the photo has been seen before.

She then posted the well-known photo from early 2001 of Prince Andrew next to Virginia and Ghislaine.

Lady Victoria asked her followers in 2022: ‘Do you believe that photo is real? Or what if I told you a survivor of Epstein’s told me it’s an Irish body double that was edited in.’ It’s unclear if she meant a double of the Prince or Virginia.

Prince Andrew told BBC Newsnight in 2019: ‘You can’t prove whether or not that photograph is faked because it’s a photograph of a photograph of a photograph.

‘It’s very difficult to be able to prove it but I don’t remember that photograph being taken… That’s me but whether that’s my hand… I have simply no recollection of the photograph ever being taken.’

The royal also said he thought he had never been upstairs in his friend Ghislaine Maxwell’s house, where the photo appears to have been taken.

But Virginia told BBC Panorama in 2019 that the photo is genuine and she gave the original to the FBI in 2011.

The Metropolitan Police says no investigation into Prince Andrew has been launched despite him being named in a tranche of Jeffrey Epstein documents released.

The Duke of York had been reported to the Metropolitan Police by anti-monarchy campaign group Republic after allegations of sexual assault were made against him in unsealed court documents.

Andrew was referenced multiple times in files relating to disgraced paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.

In a short statement today, Scotland Yard said: ‘We are aware of the release of court documents in relation to Jeffrey Epstein.

‘As with any matter, should new and relevant information be brought to our attention we will assess it. No investigation has been launched.’

Calls for the duke to be investigated were matched by a US attorney who represented some of Epstein’s victims, who said police in Britain have a duty to investigate Andrew as he ‘still refuses to fully account for his time’ with the paedophile.

The unredacted documents, which were released on Wednesday in the United States, included allegations Andrew had an orgy with underage girls and touched a woman’s breast while posing with a puppet of himself.

It is a fresh setback for the late Queen’s second son who, just 10 days ago, walked to church on Christmas Day with the King and the rest of the royal family, symbolising his gradual rehabilitation within the monarchy after his public appearance at his brother’s coronation in his garter robes in May.

It may see the end of his bid to reenter the royal fold, with well-placed sources telling the Mail that while the court claims were not a surprise, they will have served to ‘crystallise’ King Charles’s determination to solve the ‘Andrew problem’ decisively.

Plans were already in train to evict him from Royal Lodge, his ten-bedroom Windsor home since 2003, and move him to a smaller residence in keeping with his ‘downgraded’ status.

The newly released court documents are believed to have strengthened the King’s resolve that Andrew will never be allowed to resume royal duties.

The 63-year-old prince, who has previously strenuously denied the allegations, paid millions a year ago to settle a civil case out of court with Virginia with no admission of guilt after she accused him of sexually assaulting her when she was 17.

But he is mentioned more than 70 times in nearly 1,000 pages of interviews and transcripts released in the US in connection with a 2015 defamation case brought by Virginia against Ghislaine, who was jailed for sex trafficking young girls for Epstein.

The names of more than 170 people who were either associates, friends or victims of Epstein are being made public following a judge’s order last month, including high-profile figures such as former US president Bill Clinton.

The Duke of York has been reported to the police by the campaign group Republic after allegations of sexual assault resurfaced in unsealed court documents.

Graham Smith, chief executive of the anti-monarchy group Republic, said on Thursday that he had reported Andrew to the police, accusing the Met of failing to conduct a serious criminal investigation into the case.

The force said in August 2022 that it was taking no further action over allegations made against Epstein and that any future probes into human trafficking by the sex offender were focused on activities outside the UK.

It also previously said it stood by its 2015 decision not to investigate claims by Virginia that she was sex trafficked to London by Epstein.

Mr Smith said: ‘To date, there appears to have been no serious criminal investigation, no interview of the accused or other witnesses, and no clear justification for taking no action.

‘I am calling on the Met Police to reopen this case, I am calling on MPs to debate this affair in Parliament, and I am calling on Charles to make a public statement, in front of the press and taking questions, to respond to these allegations and what they say about the monarchy. 

‘How can we not expect a response from the Government and head of state? At the time of the alleged offences, Andrew was a government trade ambassador and an active member of the royal family. 

‘They fudged and obfuscated for 11 years before taking any definitive action.’ 

Mr Smith added: ‘The question many people will be asking is simple: if the accused were anyone else, do we believe they wouldn’t have been investigated and prosecuted?’

Meanwhile, US attorney Spencer Kuvin, who has represented some of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims, said people associated with the wealthy financier such as Andrew, deserve a higher level of scrutiny. 

Mr Kuvin told the Mirror: ‘Andrew still refuses to fully account for his time with Epstein and has failed to speak with US investigators about what he knows.

‘British police need to do their duty and reopen their investigation into his conduct.’

He added that Epstein is probably ‘one of the worst sexual predators of the century’.

Buckingham Palace, which no longer speaks on behalf of the duke after he stepped down as a working royal in 2019 over his friendship with Epstein, has not commented on the documents.

Evidence from Johanna Sjoberg, who worked for Epstein as a masseuse, alleged Andrew touched her breast while sitting on a couch inside Epstein’s Manhattan apartment as he posed for a photo with a caricature of himself in 2001. 

The claim, which has been alleged previously, is thought to refer to a Spitting Image puppet of the duke. 

Ms Sjoberg said, while giving evidence in May 2016: ‘Ghislaine told me to come upstairs, and we went into a closet and pulled out the puppet, the caricature of Prince Andrew, and brought it down. 

‘And there was a little tag on the puppet that said ‘Prince Andrew’ on it, and that’s when I knew who he was.’ 

Ms Sjoberg was asked what the puppet looked like and replied: ‘It looked like him. 

‘And she brought it down and presented it to him; and that was a great joke, because apparently it was a production from a show on BBC. 

‘And they decided to take a picture with it, in which Virginia and Andrew sat on a couch. 

‘They put the puppet on Virginia’s lap, and I sat on Andrew’s lap, and they put the puppet’s hand on Virginia’s breast, and Andrew put his hand on my breast, and they took a photo.’ 

Other mentions of the duke include previous allegations that Epstein ‘forced Jane Doe #3 to have sexual relations with was a member of the British Royal Family, Prince Andrew (a/k/a Duke of York)’ at three locations including on Epstein’s private island ‘in an orgy with numerous other under-aged girls’. 

The document claimed that Epstein instructed Jane Doe #3 to give Andrew ‘whatever he demanded’ and that Maxwell ‘facilitated Prince Andrew’s acts of sexual abuse by acting as a ‘madame’ for Epstein’. 

Ms Giuffre has claimed she was trafficked by Epstein to have sex with Andrew three times when she was 17 and a minor under US law at Maxwell’s London home, in Epstein’s New York home and during an orgy with Epstein at Caribbean island. 

She was questioned over the whereabouts of the famous photograph showing her with the duke, who has his arm around her, with Maxwell grinning in the background. 

Ms Giuffre added it may have been in storage boxes that were ‘full of Nerf guns, my kids’ toys, photos’ at her mother and father-in-law’s home in Sydney, Australia. 

She said she gave the picture to the FBI in 2011 but had last seen it before she packed up her home to emigrate to Australia from Colorado. 

Among the documents appears to be an email sent by Maxwell expressing her fears she would be questioned about her own relationship with Andrew. 

It reads: ‘I have already suffered such a terrible and painful loss over the last few days that I can’t even see what life after press hell even looks like – statements that don’t address all just lead to more questions… what is my relationship to Clinton? Andrew on and on.’ 

In Maxwell’s videotaped deposition in 2016, she claimed she could only recall the duke visiting Jeffrey Epstein’s private island in the US Virgin Islands once. 

The Met Police and representatives of the Duke have been approached for a comment.
