The gender switch accounts for her amazing effect; Dame Edna puts us all in touch with our inner bitch. Inside all that mauve is her mordantly brilliant creator, Barry Humphries, also an actor, novelist, poet, painter and the last great exponent of the classic British music hall. Humphries, 65, by now is more Edna than Barry. He’s added some Lettermanish shtik, telephoning audience members’ babysitters from the stage. That’s unworthy of the great Dame, who should be running for office....

Martial arts films have been around for some time, though they arguably hit their peak in the 70s with an economic boom in Hong Kong cinema. The popularity of these types of films has risen and fallen over the years, but when a martial arts film is good, it transcends those peaks and valleys. If somebody wants to try and dip their toe into the genre but doesn’t know where to start, it can be hard to figure out what movies are the ones worth seeing....

RELATED: Actors Who Played More Than One Iconic Television Character On other occasions, it is not the character themselves that causes teasing, but instead, the way that they are marketed to appeal to young kids. Obnoxious jingles, annoying catchphrases, and other factors like these have resulted in many great names being ruined by TV shows over the years. 1 Thomas (Thomas the Tank Engine) Some might think that having the same name as a talking tank engine with a human-like face slapped on the front of it is pretty cool, and for a time that was perhaps the case....

Kimon Bisogno, 39, had been on a Plettenberg Bay beach in South Africa on Monday with her husband and young daughter. She had been wading through waist deep water when the great white shark, thought to be nearly 13-feet long, appeared through a wave and attacked, GB News reported.

A single pair of killer whales is believed to be responsible for several other killings of great white sharks off the coast of South Africa since 2017.

Released by Milwaukee in training camp, the career journeyman couldn’t find another NBA team that wanted him. He contemplated playing internationally and in the G League, but no one had any use for the over-30 player with almost a decade of NBA experience. “I was honestly contemplating retirement,” he told The Associated Press. “A lot of people don’t know that, but I was done.” So he contacted his agent to put an expiration date on his basketball career....

Turns out he was right to be worried. Danny Green scored a season-high 29 points, Kawhi Leonard and Serge Ibaka each had 15 and the Toronto Raptors clinched their sixth Atlantic Division title Monday night, rallying from a double-digit deficit to beat the Magic 121-109. “We’ve got to know who we are,” Clifford said. “We ain’t scoring 115 every night. We don’t have that kind of roster. We have to defend, whether we’re scoring or not....

“[Biden] is bringing in illegal immigrants into the state of Texas and then releasing them, and many of whom have COVID,” Abbott said in a press conference Friday. “The president and his administration need to step up and stop this program.

Now, Popovich has fired back.

The adorable clip was posted to TikTok by user isabel.gracez, and it showcases the heartwarming way she cheered up her cat after her kitten sadly died. The video begins with footage of scissors cutting into white cloth, and the overlaid writing reads: “my cat had a baby, the baby ended up passing away.” The next scene then shows a marker drawing an outline of a little cat, along with the caption: “She would stay up all night crying and looking for her baby so I decided to make a pretend baby for her....

Griezmann hit the crossbar with a first-half free-kick, just one of 34 shots that failed to find a way past goalkeeper Jonathan Joubert. Luxembourg’s point was just their fifth of the campaign, but it proved enough to lift them off the foot of Group A, which France lead by a solitary point from Sweden. France had smashed Netherlands 4-0 on Thursday and Griezmann thought the tight turnaround contributed to their struggles, but took nothing away from Luc Holtz’s men....

Having flopped in the Premier League during a forgettable one-season stint at Liverpool, a 30-year-old frontman has been reborn back in his homeland. A loan spell at Sevilla got him firing again before a return to familiar surroundings at Celta allowed him to flourish and plunder 53 goals across three La Liga seasons. So impressive has Aspas’ rejuvenation been that he is now reported to be a target for Atletico as they contend with interest from Barcelona in Griezmann....

The Dolphins’ hopes looked to be all but over when they got the ball back trailing 33-28 with 16 seconds left. But chaos then ensued as Kenny Stills caught a pass from Ryan Tannehill before pitching it to DeVante Parker, who then in turn passed to running back Kenyan Drake.
