A FORMER Chelsea star has filed for divorce – after DNA tests revealed his two children were fathered by his wife’s ex.

Midfielder Geremi, 45, said the couple’s twins were born after wife Laure had an affair.

Court documents in his native Cameroon say she “destroyed the harmony” of their marriage through her despicable behavior.

They also call her ‘repeated lies’ and add: ‘No children were born from this marriage.

She claimed that the twins born in June 2008 – four years before the couple’s wedding – were his, which motivated them to get married.

“But discovering that the children were from her previous partner destroyed the couple’s harmony.

“It gave him a huge emotional shock.”

He also said his wife had damaged him psychologically.

Cameroonian star Geremi played 109 games for Chelsea between 2003 and 2007 and scored four goals.

Geremi played for Real Madrid between 1999 and 2003.

He won La Liga and the Champions League twice.

Geremi also previously played for Newcastle.

Blue’s Clues star Steve Burns has been praised for fans ‘checking in’ with them following the docuseries Quiet On Set: The Dark Side of Kids, in which Drake Bell detailed his childhood sexual abuse.

Drake & Josh star Bell, 37, identified himself as the minor who harassed dialogue coach Brian Peck on the Investigation Discovery series.

Registered sex offender Peck, 63, served 16 months in prison from 2004 to 2005 after being arrested on 11 charges – including sodomy, lewd acts on a child aged 14 or 15 by a person 10 years older, and oral copulation through anesthesia or controlled substances.

Burns, 50, who was the original host of the Nickelodeon children’s television show Blue’s Clues from 1996 to 2002, took to TikTok this week in a video saying, “Hey, I’m checking in.” Tell me, what’s going on?’

Burns — who was not referenced in the docuseries, then sat silently nodding as if listening to someone — as fans praised him for his empathy.

One wrote: “Thanks for being one of the GOOD parts of Nickelodeon, Steve,” while another typed: “Steve checking up on the now grown children he left behind is another full circle moment.”

Others wrote, “After the Nickelodeon thing, we need our Steve now more than ever,” “I feel like he knew the Nickelodeon fans needed this after the documentary came out. And this is the best answer: how are you? Are you OK?’

“Not that I’m sitting in bed in tears at almost 3am because Steve from Blues Clues shows up on my fyp and asks what’s going on? The only thing we have left is purely from our childhood.’

The four-part docuseries from Mary Robertson and Emma Schwartz describes Brian as “one of the cogs in the Dan Schneider machine,” as the Nickelodeon executive producer oversaw the crew accused of abuse, sexism, racism and inappropriate behavior on the set.

“That was probably the darkest part of my career,” the 58-year-old Emmy nominee — who left Nickelodeon in 2018 — admitted in a 19-minute DanWarp YouTube video on Tuesday.

‘Waiting the last two nights has been very difficult. I am confronted with my past behavior, some of which is shameful and which I regret. I definitely owe some people a pretty strong apology.”

Brian was also an associate of canceled director Bryan Singer, who infamously hosted Hollywood parties full of underage boys, and his career ended in 2019 after he faced a slew of sexual abuse allegations.

Sadly, Bell continued the cycle of abuse by pleading guilty to ‘attempted endangerment’ in 2021 [of] children and distributing material harmful to young people.’

The Every Day Is Christmas With You singer was sentenced to two years of probation and 200 hours of community service after a 19-year-old woman accused him of grooming her for ages 12 to 15 and sexually assaulting her during his 2017 Cleveland concert .

Drake — who was charged with drunken driving in 2010 and 2016 — said he only took the plea deal to end the scandal quickly, claiming he didn’t know her age and denying he ever sent her sexual photos or engaged in sexual activity had undertaken.

Bell also denied all allegations of verbal and physical abuse in 2020 from his ex-girlfriend Melissa Lingafelt, who also accused him on TikTok of “having inappropriate conversations with underage girls online.”

“I took responsibility for that, you know, I did what was asked of me, but the media got their hands on so much disinformation and it absolutely destroyed me,” The Masked Singer Mexico contestant said on Quiet On Set .

“And I started to lose our control. If I had continued on that path, that very likely could have been the end of my story.”

Drake’s wife of four years — Janet Von Schmeling — filed for divorce from him on April 20, and she appears to have primary custody of their toddler son Jeremy Drake Bell.

On July 16, Bell announced via X that he was starting to write a book called I Found A Way, adding, “You will finally know my true story.”

REAL MADRID are reportedly preparing a move for Newcastle star Bruno Guimaraes.

The 26-year-old Brazilian midfielder moved to St. James’ Park for £35 million in January 2022 and has become one of Europe’s most sought-after players.

The former Lyon ace has scored 13 goals and assisted a further 13 in 96 appearances for the Magpies.

And we revealed earlier this month how Guimaraes is now attracting interest from a host of teams across the continent.

He is under contract with Newcastle until 2028, after signing an extension earlier this season.

However, that deal reportedly includes a £100 million release clause, at the star’s own insistence.

Now talkSPORT claims Eddie Howe and the Toon are “bracing for Real Madrid to ramp up interest this summer”.

They claim the LaLiga giants had him under surveillance during last week’s 2-0 FA Cup quarter-final defeat to Manchester City.

Guimaraes is also said to have a “burning desire” to play regularly in the Champions League.

He did achieve that on Tyneside before the theory group stage was abandoned this season, but Newcastle will need a miraculous turn of results to qualify for it again next season.

The Magpies are also looking at the prospect of having to offload a star to help them stay on the right side of the Premier League’s spending rules.

And any figure they receive near his release clause would result in a huge return on the Samba ace.

Newcastle are currently 10th in the Premier League and of all the cup competitions, something Guimaraes admitted left him “disappointed” when quizzed about the campaign this week.

Speaking ahead of Brazil’s match against England at Wembley, he said: “This season we have struggled.

“I think we have had a lot of problems with injuries and suspensions, but this is part of the process. When I signed for the club I knew this would happen.

“Things happened too quickly. During my two years at the club we reached a final. Unfortunately we didn’t win, but we got there after 20 years, which was huge for the club.”

When asked whether Newcastle had to sell to comply with PSR rules, Guimaraes said: “I don’t know. I’m not involved in that.

“We never know what will happen, but I am happy at the club. Of course I’m disappointed with our season, but I think we still have a chance to finish at least seventh in the Europa League or Conference League.

“But I can’t say much about the club staff. I don’t know what will happen in the future, but what I can say is that I am so grateful to Newcastle.”

James Valentine was at a friend’s birthday party last December when the first signs that something was seriously wrong with the ABC radio star suddenly appeared.

“My friend Tom has been celebrating his 40th birthday every few years for a while now and it’s a good party,” Valentine remembers.

“But as usual the bar was free and there was no food.”

Help arrived with three takeaway containers of Thai food delivered to the pub’s party venue about 9.30pm and Valentine gobbled down the massaman beef ‘like a dog blowing up Pal’.

What happened next led the 62-year-old to a doctor’s surgery and a diagnosis of esophageal cancer.

A few minutes after eating the takeout, Valentine began choking and gagging. His wife Joanne said: ‘That’s not right.’

As Valentine clung to a pole in the street outside the hotel, Joanne insisted he visit her sister’s endoscopy clinic for a gastroscopy.

After the procedure, a gastroenterologist confirmed that Valentine was not suffering from some kind of “old man’s reflux disease.”

“It’s bad,” the doctor said.

‘You have a 4 cm tumor where your esophagus meets your stomach.’

The ABC Radio Sydney afternoon show host’s life changed in an instant.

Valentine revealed details about his cancer diagnosis on Thursday in a first-person piece written for the national broadcaster’s website.

At the beginning of that article, addressed directly to his listeners, the former saxophonist for Melbourne band Models said, “I’m doing absolutely fine right now.”

In January, Valentine began five weeks of chemotherapy and radiation. He will soon undergo surgery to remove his esophagus.

“I was immediately given chemo and radiation, but only a mild dose intended to shrink the tumor and clean out the body before surgery,” he wrote.

‘I got tired from the radiation, the chemo made me feel like my whole body was laced with liquid aluminum foil, but I was able to go to work, turn on the radio and even do a few gigs with the saxophone.’

The operation to remove Valentine’s cancerous esophagus will be carried out in a few weeks, during which his stomach will be stretched and attached to his throat to replace the digestive organ.

“I’ll probably feel like crap for a long time afterward,” he wrote. ‘It is likely that I will recover, although that may take several months.

“I will never eat massaman beef again and I think we’ll all be happy about that.”

An ABC spokesperson said there had been an outpouring of care and concern for Valentine since Thursday, with listeners offering messages of support.

Valentine presented the ABC’s Sydney afternoon program for 20 years before holding down breakfast for two years until late 2023, when it was announced he would return to his old shift.

There was an indication that Valentine was unwell on his Facebook page in February when a fan posted: ‘Please stop with mondayitis, we’d love to hear from you 5 days a week on (Radio Sydney).’

ABC management had known about Valentine’s diagnosis since December, but the announcer decided not to tell his listeners until this week.

“I thought about telling the ABC Radio Sydney audience earlier but decided I would just come back to the afternoons,” he wrote.

“It’s a cheerful show overall, so let’s enjoy ourselves there for a few months instead of being in the shadow of my illness all the time.”

Valentine said he expected to be off the air for two or three months, he wrote in his piece.

“I’m going to make sure I’m fully recovered and my stomach stays attached to my neck before I try to broadcast again.”

EX-MAN City star Robinho has been arrested at his home as he is about to start serving his nine-year sentence for rape.

The Brazilian star was arrested by federal police on Thursday at his home in Santos, Sao Paulo state.

It is understood he will face a custody hearing in Brazil tonight, Globo reports.

The former player was arrested after the Special Court of the Supreme Court (STJ) decided that he should serve a nine-year prison sentence for gang rape, following a conviction by the Italian justice system.

Italy had issued an international arrest warrant for Robinho, but the former Premier League star avoided jail for seven years while living in Sao Paulo.

He was convicted in 2017 and will now serve his sentence in Brazil at the request of Italian authorities, in an unprecedented move.

The former Santos star says he is innocent.

But today Brazil’s Supreme Court (STJ) reviewed Italy’s request.

Nine out of fifteen ministers voted in favor of serving the sentence in his home country. They formed a simple majority and sealed the footballer’s fate.

They did not judge whether the player is guilty or innocent, but whether he should serve the sentence in Brazil or not.

Condemned in Italy

Robinho was part of a group of six men convicted of sexually assaulting an Albanian woman at a club on January 22, 2013, during his spell at AC Milan.

He was found guilty by an Italian court in November 2017 and has made several unsuccessful attempts to appeal over the years.

Under Italian law, his sentence will only begin after the appeals procedures have been completed.

Brazil’s constitution generally does not allow the extradition of citizens convicted abroad.

This means that to date the 40-year-old would only have actually been arrested if he traveled abroad.

In November last year, Italian prosecutors said they believed Robinho should serve his sentence in Brazil.

Brazil previously argued that he should serve his time in Italy, arguing that this would amount to joint efforts to combat crime and judicial cooperation.

Robinho, full name Robson de Souza, currently lives in Sao Paulo and surrendered his passport to authorities in March 2023 after his prison sentence was upheld in 2022.

CLAIMS OF INNOCENCE

Robinho, who claims he is innocent, accused the Italian justice system of “racism” and said the 2013 encounter was “consensual”.

He told a Brazilian TV channel on Sunday: “I hope I can have the voice here in Brazil that I didn’t have there.”

“I never denied it (the meeting). I could have denied it because my DNA wasn’t there, but I’m not a liar.

“I played in Italy for four years and I got tired of seeing stories about racism. The same people who do nothing about racism, which I reject, are the ones who condemned me.”

A Brazilian news channel previously published audio recordings obtained by Italian authorities, showing Robinho discussing the case with friends.

In one clip he says, “We punch her in the face. You punch her in the face and say, ‘What did I do to you?'”

And in another: “That’s why I’m laughing, I don’t care at all.

“The girl was extremely drunk, she doesn’t even know who I am.”

Another leaked conversation shows him saying: “If this gets into the press I will be devastated.”

Robinho played for clubs such as Real Madrid, Manchester City and AC Milan and signed a contract in 2020 to return to his first club in Brazil, Santos.

However, the deal fell apart almost immediately after sponsors reportedly threatened to cut ties with the club over signing a player convicted of rape.

After Santos’ announcement, the striker admitted via Instagram: “Guys, this is Robinho.

“Of course, it is with great sadness in my heart that I am here to tell you that I have taken the decision together with the club president to suspend my contract at this difficult time in my life.

“My goal has always been to help Santos Football Club and if I get in the way in any way, it is best for me to leave and concentrate on my personal matters.”

TEAM GB Paralympians Neil Fachie and wife Lora were robbed during the UCI Track World Championships in Brazil on Wednesday.

Paralympic gold medalists Neil, 40, and Lora, 35, competed together for the first time in Rio this week.

But Neil has now taken to social media to reveal a shocking ordeal they were the victims of.

Speaking Xhe said: “We were robbed in Rio tonight, so unfortunately I won’t be available by phone for a while. Everything is going well with us, except that we have been shaken up.

“Passports, maps, some cash and our silver medals were all stolen. A sad way to end the day.”

Cyclists Neil and Lora, both OBEs, have taken their son Fraser, 1, to Rio.

But Neil’s tweet has put to rest any concerns that they were physically injured in the incident.

Neil, who suffers from an eye condition called retinitis pigmentosa, has won 19 world titles, two Olympic gold medals and two silver medals.

He followed up his Olympic triumph in London with another in Rio – while his two silver medals also came in the Brazilian capital.

He is scheduled to defend his tandem B kilo and tandem B sprint world titles later this week.

Lora, who has a hereditary condition of vision loss meaning she only has light perception, won gold and bronze medals at Rio 2016.

Three years ago she claimed another gold medal in Tokyo.

Earlier this week, Lora, who gave birth in November 2022, spoke about combining parenthood with cycling.

Speaking to BBC Sport, she said: “Pushing your body to its limits during training is difficult and painful, but you are the one in control.

“As a parent you’re not necessarily in control and babies aren’t given an instruction manual, so you’re constantly having to adjust and reassess and change plans.

“I was an athlete who likes a plan and sticks to it. I’m a pretty logical thinker and babies don’t do that, so it tests you, especially in the early days.”

Joshua Jackson‘s return to network television is just what the doctor ordered.

According to Varietythe 45 year old has signed on for a new abc series of Ryan Murphy titled Dr. Odyssey. It marks the first time in more than a decade that Jackson has returned to primetime television after his role as Peter Bishop Zoom on Fox, which ended in 2013.

Details about Dr. OdysseyThe film’s plot is being kept under wraps, but Jackson will play the charming titular character in the show, which will reportedly be set on a cruise ship. No other cast members have been revealed.

Jackson is also executive producer of the project Jon Robin Baitz And Joe Baken. The latter have collaborated with Murphy, 58, on multiple projects over the years, including American horror stories And Feud: Capote vs. The Swans. They are also developing a new legal drama for Hulu starring Kim Kardashian.

Although Jackson has been away from network TV for a while, he already has experience with medical series. In 2021, he played neurosurgeon Dr. Christopher Duntsch in season 1 of the Peacock limited docudrama Dr. Dead, based on the 2018 Wondery podcast about the doctors and lawyer who took down the real Duntsch. (The doctor was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2017 after being convicted of mutilating one of his patients.)

Come on Dr. Dead‘s debut, Jackson said exclusively We weekly how he prepared for the intense project. “I felt like I had the emotional bandwidth to handle something like this,” he said in July 2021. “It was more than I even expected, but it was clear to me from the beginning that this was going to happen . be quite a heavy burden.”

He added: ‘It wasn’t until we finished it and I put the whole thing down that I realized how hard it had actually been over time. I fooled myself that I was able to leave it at the office. It was incredibly dark. The material is dark.”

Jackson also hinted at a 2022 Variety interview he was looking forward to playing a different kind of medical professional in the future after the drama of Dr. Dead.

“I’m happy to not be playing someone as psychologically intense as Christopher Duntsch for a while, because the weight of that was quite intense during the filming of the show,” he told the outlet at the time.

Together with Zoom And Dr. DeadJackson is known for his roles in Little fires everywhere, The affair, Fatal attraction And Dawson’s Creek.
