🚨 BREAKING: Newcastle United have agreed a fee with Hoffenheim for winger Bazoumana Touré.
🙏🏻 There is hope within the club that they can finalise a deal for the Ivory Coast international, as per @LukeEdwardsTele. Cautious optimism, and player needs to have a medical.
🇨🇮 All going well, Touré is set to be the first of multiple new signings through the door at Newcastle, following the £170m
double sale of Anthony Gordon & Sandro Tonali.

Imagine talking about morals and integrity when you’re the one who slept with your friend’s wife

Love that Dolph Lundgren gets his moment in the new Masters of the Universe movie, such a perfect callback. I’m a sucker for stuff like this.

In the long history of Good Calls, Peter Jackson made possibly the Goodest Call of all time with this one.

Why is Edward Norton talking to himself?

For the last 46 years, it has been my privilege to work alongside countless talented artists and crews to create these characters, stories, and films for you all.

I'm looking forward to seeing you at the movies! DIGGER. Only in theaters this October.

Happy 37th anniversary to the 1989 Batman movie!

A final lap overtake sees Häkkinen claim his first Grand Prix victory during the 1997 European Grand Prix at the Circuito de Jerez.

David Coulthard comes home in P2, whilst 3rd place is sufficient enough to crown Jacques Villeneuve the World Champion. #F1

[The Farmer's Dog @FamersDog]

An update and a message from Jeremy.

“Thank you so much for all the kind messages I've had but now, an announcement.”

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

I was surprised when Jeremy Clarkson texted me on Boxing Day to say how much he liked my @paddypower ad urging men to get tested for prostate cancer. Now I understand.
I wish my old sparring partner all the best with his treatment. Guys, have a PSA test, it may save your life.

[Roy Downing @RoyDowning]

@JeremyClarkson Good luck with your cancer treatment! You will beat this thing!

🚨HEARTBREAKING BOMBSHELL FROM DIDDLY SQUAT: JEREMY CLARKSON REVEALS HE HAS CANCER 😢

In the final two episodes of Clarkson’s Farm Season 5, Jeremy Clarkson shares some truly devastating personal news.

Jeremy is in his office discussing the farm harvest with Charlie and Kaleb Cooper when he breaks off mid-sentence, leans back in his seat, and quietly reveals the devastating news: “I’ve got cancer.”​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

A stunned Kaleb asks where. Jeremy replies it’s not something he wants to detail publicly, but he’s known since May after a medical, followed by a biopsy. It’s aggressive but caught early. He hoped to finish the harvest before treatment, but it’s hitting right in the middle.

Kaleb wipes away tears and says: "Look after yourself, you go and do…if you need anything just ring."

Later, with the full team (including Lisa, Charlie and Gerald), he reflects on the tough year: starting with heart issues and ending with this.

In the closing moments, we see him back in a hospital bed:

“So we started season five with me in a hospital bed and we are at the end of season five and I’m back in a hospital bed. Some of the treatment has gone awry, let’s say, I'm going to be here for a little while. I'm nil by mouth, i dont know whats going to happen. If this is all successful I’ll see you for season six and if it isn’t I won’t. Take care everyone.”

It’s an incredibly raw, emotional watch from a man who’s usually full of bluster and humour.

Thoughts with you, Jezza. 💔

I’m sure you’ll pull through! 💪

Oh FFS 🤦🏼

Every line Bill Paxton delivers in Aliens (1986) is instantly memorable. Hudson practically becomes the movie’s panic button.

🚨⚪️⚫️ Real Madrid will NOT activate the buy back clause for Víctor Muñoz as Newcastle are confident to get deal done after bid sent yesterday.

Real will receive 50% of the deal, over €17m.
