One of the few upsides of the pandemic was that it erased all memories of Robert Downey Jr’s atrocious Dr Doolittle movie. The February 2020 stinker, in which the blockbuster star method-acted opposite chatting tigers and farting dragons, sank like a lead baboon. Yet it did little to quench the animal passions of Downey Jr, who was soon circling back to the same theme of talking furballs as executive producer of 2021 Netflix fantasy drama Sweet Tooth . The series, adapted from a cult DC Comics graphic novel, told the story of a young boy named Gus (Christian Convery), born with the ears and antlers of a deer in a post-apocalyptic North America devastated by a deadly virus. Given the world was staggering from lockdown to lockdown, the obvious criticism was that Netflix’s timing was less than stellar. The show side-stepped such complaints with its sunny aura. The vibe was Mad Max crossed with My Little Pony and, given the circumstances, it was far more heartwarming than it had ...

FURIOUS I’m A Celebrity South Africa fans have insisted that TWO camp mates are breaking a major jungle rule. Eagle-eyed viewers think they have spotted the celebrities causing trouble just days into the new series on ITV. 2 Fans thought they saw Janice wearing make-up Credit: Eroteme 2 Gillian also looked to be wearing false lashes Credit: Eroteme Fans were left puzzled when they noticed that both Janice Dickenson and Gillian McKeith looked to have broken the rules. The supermodel, who first appeared on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here in 2007, appeared to be wearing make-up in camp. While Janice, 68, could be wearing make-up from the days before, some viewers suggested she had broken show rules. She appeared to still be wearing some mascara, eyeliner and a bright red lipstick in early scenes from last night’s show. The star had sported the same look during her entry to camp, alongside Happy Mondays star Shaun Ryder and butler Paul Burrell...

Millennials are expected to hold five times as much wealth as they do today by 2030, when they’re estimated to inherit over $68 trillion from boomers. The massive wealth inherited by millennials will decrease inequality between the generations in the U.S. but will likely worsen it overall, experts told Newsweek . The change in fortune for millennials—a generation thwarted by a series of recessions, costly real estate, and heavy student debt—has the potential to significantly change the U.S. financial and political landscape. Baby boomers, born during the revolutionary two decades that followed the end of the Second World War, are currently the richest generation on the planet, with the average Boomer being worth $1.2 million, according to Fortune. But as boomers approach their twilight years, experts are posing one crucial question: what is going to happen to the wealth that boomers have accumulated after they’re gone? “A study shows that millennials will hold five times ...

Suella Braverman was accused of repeatedly dodging the question this morning as she clashed with Susanna Reid and Ed Balls on Good Morning Britain. The home secretary repeatedly refused to admit that police numbers were slashed by 20,000 under the Tory government’s austerity programme after the party came to power in 2010. Braverman was grilled by the pair as the Home Office prepares to announce that it has hit its target of recruiting an extra 20,000 officers. She rejected claims that the government was simply “filling a gap” that it had caused itself by slashing police numbers. Susanna Reid asked her: “Do you acknowledge that under your government 20,000 police officers were cut?” Braverman replied: “Again, I’ve repeated myself twice already but I’ll say it again … But a clearly-frustrated Reid interrupted her to say: “I know, because you’re not answering the question. My question was do you acknowledge that 20,000 police officers were cut?” Ed Balls the...

InchDairnie Distillery has announced its arrival with a 2017 vintage rye whisky, which will be available at selected retailers such as Selfridges, Harvey Nichols, and Fortnum & Mason. RyeLaw will have a recommended retail price of £110 for a 70cl bottle. The launch comes after years of planning by Mr Palmer, an industry veteran of more than 45 years, who adopted innovative technology to extract maximum flavour from Scottish-grown rye and barley. READ MORE: Scottish housebuilding veteran hired for new Clark Contracts venture The distillery said it used innovative materials, methods, and maturation practices to deliver a spicy rye flavour, which is based on 53 per cent malted rye and 47% malted barley ground extra finely for maximum flavour extraction. Cereals were mashed in a Meura mash filter, one of only two used in Scotland, while a rye-specific yeast was used for fermentation, resulting in lower yields and higher flavour. The spirit was doubled distilled in ...
