Celebrity Big Brother star proudly walked around snacking away.Much to the confusion of onlookers, Heidi pulled her slab of raw meat out of a zip lock bag before proceeding to chomp down on the fatty flesh.Despite chomping on raw meat, she kept a casual look opting for a black cardigan and a simple pair of black jeans held up with a bold Gucci belt.Her signature blonde tresses were styled into a high ponytail, swept off her face, while she rocked a pair of oversized sunglasses.This, however, is not a new thing for Heidi who began documenting her raw meat journey back in January of this year.Taking to social media, she shared a clip of herself cutting raw bison liver with a pair of scissors before tucking into the questionable delicacy.She said: "Maybe this will help me get pregnant."While eating raw meat is not recommended, Heidi claims it has boosted her libido as she hopes to get pregnant again.She told People: "I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year and a half, I'm willing to try different things, it's a great source of nutrients."I have felt incredible on this diet a lot more energy, clarity, increased libido, and overall improvement on chronic pain I have had."However, she doesn't worry about the risk of eating raw meat, claiming it is similar to "eating raw sushi", adding: "I just happen to like eating sushi-style organs."She went on to tell the publication: "When you think about where the most nutrients are that are bio available to humans without toxins, irgans are very nutritious parts of animals.

Chelsea currently being sanctioned by the UK government, American billionaire Todd Boehly is believed to have submitted a bid for the Stamford Bridge outfit.The 46-year-old is the owner of the LA Dodgers baseball franchise, and his commitment to them gives a great indicator of what Blues fans can expect from the businessman if he does acquire their club.Boehly spearheaded a group of investors that outbid Arsenal owner Stan Kroenke to buy the Dodgers in 2012, offering £1.3billion for the sports franchise – £400m more than Kroenke offered.It is widely reported that Boehly owns 20 per cent of the team.Like some owners, it was then expected that Boehly would sit back and reap the benefits of owning the baseball team and enjoy the newfound source of cash.But that couldn’t be further from the truth.As revealed by the Telegraph, in one weekend the owner committed £123m to buy just two pitchers – and that move along with several others has seen the team enjoy plenty of success under his reign and rise markedly in value.The Dodgers won the World Series in 2020 after eight back-to-back Western division titles and are now the second-most valuable baseball team, behind only the New York Yankees, according to Forbes.HAVE YOUR SAY!

Jazz Tangcay Artisans EditorWhile the Madrigal family is the heart of Disney’s “Encanto,” another key character in the film is Casa Madrigal, the family’s magical home and center of the narrative.From the very beginning, co-writer and co-director Charise Castro Smith says the creative team knew that the house would be a reflection of the family and their magical powers, with a personality and a point of view.“We knew it was going to be alive, magical and fun and a friend to the kids who lived in the house,” she says.Each room in the house also had its own personality and early on, Castro Smith says the magic of technology allowed her to visualize the world of “Encanto” through VR.“The visual design team modeled it in 3D, so we got to put a headset on and walk through the house.” That process came in handy when she was polishing the story that is rooted in magical realism — she was able to step into the casita and immerse herself in the experience. Although the house is alive, in designing the home, associate production designer Lorelay Bove added touches that were inspired by Colombian homes while making sure it oozed energy and vibrancy.The kitchen had items that would be found in a cocinar Colombiana, “like a molinillo, which is a hot chocolate stirrer, a corn grinder and traditional clay pottery called La Chamba,” Bove says.“The one thing the directors said was that there needed to be truth to the materials.

Ben Croll Returning to in-person gatherings after last year’s online event, this year’s Cartoon Movie pitch and co-production forum saw the teams behind 57 animated features pitch their development projects before 930 European industry delegates from 19 countries. Running over March 8 – 10 in the southwest city of Bordeaux in France, this year’s forum saw both international buyers (totalling 297 overall – a 12% increase from the previous edition) and adult skewing projects notch upward – two facts not wholly unrelated.Whether on purpose or by some happy twist of fate, the four beneficiaries of this year’s Cartoon Movie Tribute Awards reflected a pair of key industry trends.At an event where one third of the pitch projects were based on preexisting material, it was thus fitting that adaptation “Even Mice Belong in Heaven” — directed by Denisa Grimmová & Jan Bubeníček, co-produced by Czechia’s Fresh Films, France’s Les Films du Cygne, Slovakia’s Cinemart and Poland’s Animoon – would win for Producer of the Year, and that the graphic novel inspired “Melvile” – directed by Romain Renard and Fursy Teyssier, produced by Belgium’s Need Productions and co-produced by France’s Creative Touch and Special Touch Studios – would claim the Eurimages Co-Production Development award.
