Russia state TV admits Ukraine war plan “failed completely”
A guest on Russian state TV recently admitted he believes the Kremlin's effort in Ukraine has "failed completely," and there was no backup plan to fall on. Anton Gerashchenko, an adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, tweeted on Friday a clip of the video, providing translations. The video has been viewed more than 60,000 times as of Friday morning. Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022, as part of a "special military operation." The operation quickly evolved into war, and after nearly a year, the fighting continues. Various places around Ukraine have faced the front lines of battle, and attention has shifted to the Bakhmut region as the Wagner Group , a Russian paramilitary organization, attempt to seize the city . Meanwhile, advancement on both sides has stalled during the winter months, but experts expect fighting to pick up again once spring nears. On a Russian state TV talk show, political analyst Viktor Olevich said Russia's attempt to quickly … [Read more...] about Russia state TV admits Ukraine war plan “failed completely”
EastEnders’ Bradley Branning star Charlie Clements working as chef after lockdown hits acting
EastEnders ' former Bradley Branning actor Charlie Clements has revealed he spent lockdown working as a chef after finding acting jobs difficult to get hold of during the pandemic. Charlie played Bradley from 2009-2010, when the character came to an untimely end when he fell off the roof of the Queen Vic in a police chase when he was falsely believed to have murdered Archie Mithchell - when in fact it was Stacey Slater. He has since had several roles on stage and screen, but as the pandemic forced venues to close, he got a chef job to tide things over. But he announced he has quit, as he is heading back into rehearsals as theatres are set to reopen soon.

‘S.N.L.’ Gives Comic Voice to the Downed Chinese Spy Balloon
The downing of a Chinese spy balloon on Saturday afternoon ended America’s fixation on the balloon’s days-long journey across United States airspace and provided “Saturday Night Live” with irresistibly topical subject matter for its opening sketch just a few hours later. This weekend’s “S.N.L.” broadcast, hosted by Pedro Pascal and featuring the musical guest Coldplay, started with a sendup of an MSNBC broadcast anchored by Chloe Fineman, playing the TV journalist Katy Tur. “Tonight, our long national nightmare is over,” Fineman said. “We got the balloon.” She introduced a Pentagon official played by Kenan Thompson, who explained how the balloon was eventually brought down. “The balloon was somehow able to get past our West Coast anti-balloon defense system, the Seattle Space Needle,” Thompson said. “But once it was here, we were able to keep an eye on it with our sophisticated tracking technology. Of going like this.” Here, Thompson simply looked up above him. … [Read more...] about ‘S.N.L.’ Gives Comic Voice to the Downed Chinese Spy Balloon

Dancing On Ice’s Joey Essex gushes over Vanessa but feels ‘underestimated’
She might not seem quite so imposing, but Joey Essex says being trained by his pint-sized figure skater partner is as tough as going toe-to-toe with a bunch of former special forces soldiers. The reality star survived two weeks being beasted on Channel 4 's SAS: Who Dares Wins and even made it through to the interrogation stage of the gruelling course. But it seems his time in the trenches was the perfect preparation for his latest adventure on Dancing On Ice. He has been paired with German skating champion Vanessa Bauer and Joey says she is proving just as tough as SAS hunk Jason Fox and his pals. "Vanessa really whips me into shape!" he says, speaking ahead of his second outing on ITV 's skating series tomorrow. "It's a similar process to SAS: Who Dares Wins, because you’ve got to listen. You’ve got to really focus. "The more you focus and the more you listen, the more you're going to go further in this journey. It really matters. Joey Essex and Vanessa Bauer … [Read more...] about Dancing On Ice’s Joey Essex gushes over Vanessa but feels ‘underestimated’

David Tennant called the Tories a "team of f***wits" in a savage rant on Channel 4's Last Leg. The Doctor Who star, 51, was on the show speaking about the widespread industrial action affecting the country.

"And you’ve got Rishi going, 'Listen we’d love to give them a pay rise, but unfortunately, mad Queen Liz put the economy in a dumpster fire , so my hands are tied.'" After an uncomfortable pause, the actor quickly clarified which Liz he was talking about, saying it was former Prime Minister Ms Truss - and not the late monarch, Elizabeth II.

DOI’s Joey Essex bragged he was a ‘secret ice-skating demon’ despite novice claim
Dancing On Ice hopeful Joey Essex once bragged he was a “secret ice-skating demon” despite claiming to be a novice ahead of this weekend’s show. The TOWIE star, 32, claimed that he was excited to be “learning a new skill” when the new series starts on Sunday. But in his 2014 book Being Reem he said he was already a whizz on the ice rink. He gushed: “If you went to Romford ice rink on a Saturday afternoon you’d see me, little Joey Essex, whizzing about like some icy ninja. I can still ice-skate now – I’m one of those blokes who gets on the ice and starts skimming about backwards doing fancy shapes (to impress the ladies).
