drivers could be slapped with multiple £70 fines from the start of next month, thanks to new local council powers.From June 1, local councils in England and Wales will be able to take powers normally only given to the police, and dish out fines for minor infractions.The new fines can be given for those who stop in a yellow box when they shouldn't, drive in a cycle lane, veer into a bus lane, or do U-turn in a place they shouldn't.Fines can be issued off the back of CCTV cameras – not just the usual road-side cameras police use – and dashcam footage from other road users, including cyclists.The RAC has warned that this could live to an “avalanche” of penalty charge notices for drivers.Nicholas Lyes, head of roads policy for the RAC, said: “In the absence of definitive guidance on the design, maintenance and enforcement of box junctions there will be a high degree of confusion among drivers and local authorities."(It) could lead to an avalanche of penalty charge notices being wrongly issued and then having to be appealed.“This will inevitably lead to an unnecessarily high number of appeals for local authorities to review, as well as some poor outcomes for drivers.“We are worried that failing to update guidance to include the lessons learnt from more than 15 years of enforcement in London will lead to countless wrong fines being issued, no end of unnecessary stress for drivers who feel they have been unfairly treated and thousands of wasted council hours investigating appeals.

Britney Spears in a recent Variety Magazine feature.During her interview with writer Rebecca Rubin, conducted for the magazine’s “Power Of Women” series, Barrymore said that Spears would be a dream guest for her talk show, The Drew Barrymore Show.“We can have a unique conversation,” she said. “There’s not a ton of us out there who have publicly lost our freedom, had breakdowns in front of everyone, become punchlines and fought our way back.”Indeed, both Barrymore and Spears were brought into the entertainment industry at very young ages – Barrymore was six years old when she starred in E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial, whereas Spears was enlisted as a cast member of The Mickey Mouse Club at age 10.

TikTok after she shared some clips of herself posing with 45-year-old mum Pandora Fleming-Smith in very identical outfits.As Tatiana flaunted her toned torso in a white crop top, Pandora followed suit and looked like a true spitting image of her child as she donned a Bratz top.The teen went viral – racking up over 600,000 views and endless amounts of comments from swooning users along the lines of, “omg you look the same”, “I want her mum” and “you look like twins”.And getting as much attention as her daughter, Pandora, a sub contractor, admitted that she likes the attention she is getting online.But does Tatiana feel the same about her mum sharing the limelight?Pandora told Daily Star: “I am not going to lie, it is great to feel like I have still got it!“When I mention how old I am, people are always shocked, especially when they find out that I have teenage kids.“The great thing about having a 17-year-old daughter is that they keep you in touch with what is fashionable and cool at the moment.“So she definitely inspires me, not the other way round.”With her mum being inspired by her sense of style, Tatiana confessed that sometimes she does get "annoyed' – but is pleased that she is getting attention online.Tatiana explained: “My mum does like to copy what I wear sometimes or copy a new style that I will recently be into which does sometimes annoy me.“However, overall I love that she will know what sort of things I like; that we can go shopping together; and that she is happy to explore whatever fashion I am into with me.“We spend a lot of time together and are always chatting and laughing about the most random things.

Björk in The Northman.The actor plays lead character Amleth in the third feature film from director Robert Eggers (The Lighthouse, The Witch), starring alongside Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ethan Hawke and Willem Dafoe.The most unique cast addition is Björk, who plays a seeress, whose last feature film acting credit was in 2005’s Drawing Restraint 9 from director Matthew Barney.Speaking to NME about acting alongside the musician, Skarsgård said: “I felt very lucky. It was crazy.“I don’t think you see it on camera in that scene, but we shot it in that burnt out barn after the big raid. And Björk when it was her shot, behind her I could see it was just this gigantic full moon right behind her head and it felt so perfect for that scene and her character and the way she looked.

Do you know what people seem to already adore? Robert Eggers’ epic, bloody, wild-sounding action film, “The Northman,” a revenge movie set in the Nordic Viking era. With an all-star cast that includes Alexander Skarsgård, Nicole Kidman, Claes Bang, Anya Taylor-Joy, Ethan Hawke, Björk, and Willem Dafoe, the review embargo for “The Northman” lifted this week and critics were absolutely ecstatic about the movie.

Director Robert Eggers returns with his third feature film, “The Northman,” a Viking epic that places the filmmaker in a more accessible genre. The visually striking revenge flick allows for more action sequences and a larger scale/budget than he’s used to.

Director Robert Eggers‘ third feature film “The Northman” releases on April 22 and we’re all dying to see his remake of the classic 1922 silent vampire film “Nosferatu” finally come together after multiple production hiccups. His recent comments to The Guardian suggest that the horror project stumbled after Harry Styles had to back out of the Thomas Hutter role opposite Eggers’ longtime muse Anya Taylor-Joy (“The Witch“).

Revenge is a dish best served cold, and it doesn’t get any colder, literally or figuratively, than the bitter portion ladled up in Robert Eggers’ merciless yarn of medieval vengeance, The Northman. This seriously nasty and violent tale comes across as an intense labor of love on the part of the American director and his Icelandic co-writer, the poet Sjón; there’s scarcely a moment of softness, sentiment or relaxation here, just fierce and ferocious determination to fight and prevail in an unstintingly harsh environment. For the most part it’s an enthralling immersion in a forbidding time and place, enhanced by an immoderately attractive cast and saddled only by a dramatic sameness that settles in after a while and gradually diminishes the film’s impact.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticFields glow kryptonite-green against volcanic black soil, while not-so-distant mountains smoke and spew hot red lava above the heads of hardy sheep. Nowhere else on earth looks like Iceland, which is why so many productions over the past decade — from “Interstellar” and “Oblivion” to “Game of Thrones” and “Thor” — have used its peerless primordial terrain to represent alternate dimensions and far-off planets.Iceland plays itself in Robert Eggers’ “The Northman,” a brutal tale of 10th-century Viking revenge that makes evocative use of far more than just the scenery to be found in this stunning Nordic outpost.

Oscar-winner Nicolas Cage (“Leaving Las Vegas“) is having an overdue career resurgence thanks to recent films such as the psychedelic revenge picture “Mandy” and the performance-focused “Pig.” The actor has previously revealed that he’s out of debt and ready to make a big Hollywood return. Cage’s hopes for the future were on full display during a recent Reddit AMA as the actor, who doesn’t have an online presence or social media accounts, answered various fan questions.

The new women-centric Apple TV+ anthology series “Roar” is extremely literal. Across its eight episodes, a trophy wife lives on a shelf, an ignored woman disappears, and a frustrated wife returns her husband to a big box store.

It’s interesting to see the pivot for writer/director Robert Eggers to go from things like “The Witch” and “The Lighthouse,” more atmospheric supernatural tales, to something so much larger in scale like his upcoming Viking revenge saga (budgeted at $90 million), “The Northman.” The pic, starring Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgård, releases later this month and is directly inspired by the original Scandinavian story that influenced William Shakespeare‘s beloved “Hamlet,” which is certainly why the new film’s plot will seem very familiar to folks.
