Auditions are one hundred thousand times more nerve-racking than performances. Dreadful business 😂😂😂😂😂
I was chased around quite a few ballrooms at many a black-tie function by Jeffrey Archer in the 90’s. Innocent banter but with a glint in his eye. He was a clever man and really made me laugh.
What a crap telegraphic & gauche script. As if an aristocrat would say to someone at a party, “where do you fit in this aristocratic puzzle?” FFS Guy Ritchie! You can do better than that! I knew your parents! @TheGentlemen
Are people that dumb they don’t understand that Ali G is mocking white people who try to appropriate black culture to be cool … That was the WHOLE POINT of his act. 🙄
OMG Has everyone under 45 lost their entire sense of humour and irony?

Any updates on whether Russel Brand ever found that Bible verse or is he still flipping through pages?
Words cannot express my admiration for the dedication & passion shown by @omid9
As a fellow performer who feels passionately about justice, I am in awe. His tireless efforts to help people understand the plight of the Iranian people is worthy of a knighthood.
Amazing news 🙏🏽💪🏽

On Tuesday, the Iranian women’s football team refused to sing the anthem of the Islamic Regime.
Tonight, they were captured by the Regime and sent back to Iran to die.
So, to all liberal women:
You claim to be feminists.
You claim to fight for women.
Prove it.
FIGHT FOR THEM.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The Iranian women's football team remains in Australia after elimination from the Women's Asian Cup and has not been captured or sent back to Iran. apnews.com/article/iran-s… theguardian.com/football/2026/…
