I feel so completely grateful to have been asked to open the Paris @Olympics 2024 this year. I am also humbled to be asked by the Olympics organizing committee to sing such a special French songāa song to honor the French people and their tremendous history of art, music, and theatre. This song was sung by Zizi Jeanmaire, born in Paris a French ballerina, she famously sang āMon Truc en Plumesā in 1961. The title means āMy Thing with Feathers.ā And this is not the first time weāve crossed paths. Zizi starred in Cole Porterās musical āAnything Goesā which was my first jazz release. Although I am not a French artist, I have always felt a very special connection with French people and singing French musicāI wanted nothing more than to create a performance that would warm the heart of France, celebrate French art and music, and on such a momentous occasion remind everyone of one of the most magical cities on earthāParis. We rented pom poms from Le Lido archiveāa real French cabaret theater. We collaborated with Dior to create custom costumes, using naturally molted feathers. I studied French choreography that put a modern twist on a French classic. I rehearsed tirelessly to study a joyful French dance, brushing up on some old skillsāI bet you didnāt know I used to dance at a 60ās French party on the lower east side when I was first starting out! I hope you love this performance as much as I do. And to everyone in France, thank you so much for welcoming me to your country to sing in honor of youāitās a gift Iāll never forget! Congratulations to all the athletes who are competing in this yearās Olympic Games! It is my supreme honor to sing for you and cheer you on!! Watching the Olympic Games always makes me cry! Your talent is unimaginable. Let the games begin!
THE BLAIR WITCH PROJECT was released 25 years ago today. One of the most influential horror movies of its generation, and made on a shoestring budget, the making of story will have you scared to close your eyesā¦

Russian-Israeli Eurovision representative has been listed in ukrainian āPeacemakerā database for visiting occupied Crimea and violating territorial integrity of Ukraine, joining rare list of Eurovision participants, to achieve that.
760 days of Russiaās full-scale war against Ukraine. More than two years of clear evidence of what Putin's system is bringing to the world. Ruins instead of cities and villages. Death and pain, not life. Terror instead of international law.
Ukrainians are bravely defending their homeland and will continue to do so. I am grateful to everyone around the world who supports our country and people. I am grateful to everyone who calls a spade a spade and refuses to let Russia deceive the world through propaganda and blackmail.
Russia must lose this war. This is the only way to reliably protect human lives.
Air defense, long-range weapons, artillery, sanctions, the confiscation of Russian assets, and support for our country all bring the restoration of a fair peace and normal life closer.

Two years have passed since Russia initiated its full-scale war.
Each day Ukrainians show the world what bravery really means.
We stand with Ukraine, as you stand for the security of all of Europe.
I believe in Ukraineās victory and that Russia can be defeated.

The camera contains photos of a family from a Ukrainian village that was occupied by Russians for a month, as well as photos of Russian soldiers themselves and evidence of their war crimes.
One video shows a line of civilians, including children, being led away with their hands and eyes tied.

I was asked why we Brits dislike Trump. This was my reply:
A few things spring to mind.
Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom...
