[ad_1] Comment on this story Comment By all accounts, 2023 was shaping up to be a rough year for Shakira. She and her longtime partner, Spanish footballer Gerard Piqué, were in the midst of a very public split, and the pop superstar had also been ordered to stand trial for alleged tax fraud in Spain. But less than two weeks into the new year, Shakira came out swinging on a record-breaking collaboration — with in-demand Argentine DJ-producer Bizarrap — that set the now-46-year-old singer on a path to have one of the best years of her career. One highlight unfolded Tuesday at MTV’s annual Video Music Awards, where the Colombia native performed and received the lifetime achievement award. There was nothing subtle about “Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53,” which referenced Piqué’s new, then-23-year-old girlfriend by name and addresses her ex directly: “You left me with a mother-in-law as my neighbor, with the press at my door and in debt with the estate.” [embed]https://www.youtu...

[ad_1] CAPE CANAVERAL, FLORIDA: Saturn has a fresh new look thanks to Nasa 's Webb Space Telescope . The gas giant is dark in the latest photo by Webb, released Friday, but its rings are glowing. Webb snapped the picture in the infrared last weekend. At this wavelength, the planet appears dark because sunlight is absorbed by methane in the atmosphere. But the icy rings remain bright. Three of Saturn’s many moons also got caught on camera. Scientists are thrilled with this latest shot, which captures Saturn's atmosphere in detail. They hope to uncover new ring structures as well as any new planets that might be lurking there. “We look forward to digging into the deep exposures to see what discoveries may await," Matthew Tiscareno, a senior research scientist at the SETI Institute, said in a statement.

[ad_1] For free real time breaking news alerts sent straight to your inbox sign up to our breaking news emails Sign up to our free breaking news emails Eamonn Holmes has lost an appeal over a tax ruling associated with his earnings as a presenter on This Morning. Upper Tribunal judges upheld a previous decision that the 63-year-old broadcaster should pay tax as an ITV employee for his work on the programme, rather than as a freelancer. In a judgment given on Wednesday, Mr Justice Mellor and Judge Jonathan Canna said they were “satisfied” that the First Tier Tribunal which originally dealt with Mr Holmes’ claim in 2020 “considered the overall picture”. They said they were not convinced by Mr Holmes’ lawyers assertion that the tribunal overlooked “characteristics which might have indicated that the ITV contracts were part of Mr Holmes’ self-employed business activities”. The judgment added that Mr Holmes declared “profits from self-employment included on his tax returns” from 2011...

But Sinelnikova never signed a release giving the museum permission to use the image, which was taken at a photo shoot at the museum in 2019. After the museum rebuffed Sinelnikova’s request for $25,000 in compensation for the use of the image earlier this year, they filed a lawsuit in New York State Supreme Court seeking at least $250,000 in damages. The ex-girlfriend has not filed a complaint or suit. “It was so egregious, and this was personal,” Sinelnikova said in an interview. “The museum was displaying my dating history to millions of people even though I asked them to stop.” The lawsuit quotes an email from the museum’s founder and director, Dan Gluck, in which he apologized for...

[ad_1] Warren Buffett said he's happiest when eating dessert and drinking Coke — and would give up a year of his life to keep doing so. "I always tell people: I found everything I like to eat by the time I was six," Buffett said Wednesday in an interview with Becky Quick on CNBC's " Squawk Box" in Tokyo. "I mean, why should I fool around with all these other foods?" The 92-year-old, with a diet that famously consists of junk food and sugary beverages , said it would hypothetically be better to lose a year of his life than to eat foods considered healthier. The Berkshire Hathaway chairman and CEO is known for, among other habits, stopping at McDonald's each day on the way to work for breakfast. And Buffett said he had Hershey's Kisses before the interview. "I know all these people eat all these green things and everything," he said. "But if somebody told me I would live an extra year if I ate nothing but broccoli and ...
