macho head honcho. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is transitioning from unsung European commander-in-chief to universal sex symbol in the wake of his unrelenting defense of Ukraine against Russian forces. And unabashed admirers are shamelessly lusting over the 5-foot-7, newly anointed heartthrob online. “It’s not the time or place to have a crush on President Zelensky,” admitted TikTok user Stephanie Martin in a trending clip dedicated to her unbridled attraction to the married 44-year-old head of state. “Buuuuut…,” she continued in the video entitled “The heart wants what it wants,” which has amassed more than 694,000 views. And Martin’s zeal for Zelensky is wildly echoing throughout hyper-sexual cyberspace. “Y’all, I got one thing to say. President Zelensky — daddy,” gushed a groupie on TikTok.

PUP have shared a new song called ‘Matilda’ alongside details of a UK and Ireland headline tour.The track will appear on the Toronto punk band’s fourth album ‘THE UNRAVELING OF PUPTHEBAND’, which is released on April 1 via BMG/Rise Records (pre-order from here).Following on from previous singles ‘Robot Writes A Love Song’ and ‘Waiting’, PUP’s latest track ‘Matilda’ was inspired by frontman Stefan Babcock’s “favourite guitar” of the same name.“She was a gift from my friend Ryan, after watching me accidentally break the only guitar I owned in the middle of a long tour,” Babcock said. “I had no money to buy a replacement, and Ryan’s act of kindness is up there on my list of ‘nicest things anyone’s ever done for me’.“I played Matilda nonstop for 7 years at every PUP show, even when my bandmates started complaining that she sounded like shit.

Chelsea striker Diego Costa is closing in on a new club after agreeing a deal with Brazilian side Corinthians.The 33-year-old has been a free agent ever since his contract with Atletico Mineiro was terminated six weeks ago.Costa had only spent a few months with the club, netting seven goals in 26 games to guide them to their first league title for over 50 years.According to reports, he'd been holding out for a move back to Europe, where he had successful stints with both Chelsea and Atletico Madrid, and had been shelving offers from various clubs while "waiting for one in particular that never came."But after considering his options, the Brazilian-born Spain international has opted to join Corinthians where he'll play under former Porto and Fenerbahce boss Vitor Pereira.It's understood that he's asking for wages of around £46,000-a-week and will sign an 18 month deal with the Sao Paulo-based side.Costa was linked with a move back to the Premier League in January, with Arsenal and Newcastle United among the interested clubs, but a transfer never materialised.Could Diego Costa do a better job up front for Chelsea than Romelu Lukaku? Let us know in the comments section...The bruiser spent three seasons at Stamford Bridge, winning two Premier League titles and a League Cup during his short but memorable stint in English football.He developed a reputation for being a 'master of the dark arts' and frequently clashed with opponents and got into scuffles - though curiously he was never sent off as a Chelsea player.Costa bagged 59 goals in 120 matches for the Blues and quickly endeared himself to fans, before being controversially exiled by Antonio Conte in 2017 and eventually sold back to Atletico Madrid.
