Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have bizarrely been mocked by Twitter users from Romania after they revealed their dog’s name is slang in their country for “penis”.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s dog Pula, a Labrador, was named after the currency in Botswana.However, not all names have the same meaning as Harry and Meghan found out via the social media platform.According to Romanian users on Twitter, Pula is a commonly used slang word in their country to describe someone's male genitalia.One wrote: “Surely someone in their group would have Googled Pula to ensure it wasn’t Romanian for penis?”Another said: “Quite a shock to see it in print…!!!”According to Marie Claire, the name also means “rain”’ in Setswana, a language spoken in Botswana, and is considered a blessing due to its rarity.Harry and Meghan adopted the dog in 2018 but the name was not revealed until two years later.The name was eventually revealed in the book Finding Freedom, and details the couple’s trip to Botswana.The Duke and Duchess were reported to have stayed at a £1,500-a-night tent in Meno A Kwena and it is where Meghan urged Harry to start to adopt a healthier lifestyle by introducing him to yoga and meditation.The couple now have two dogs, Pula and another rescue dog named Guy, who Meghan has had before meeting Harry.Meghan also had another dog before meeting Harry, a Labrador-German shepherd cross Bogart.The dog never came to live with the couple and was instead left in Canada, while Guy travelled to the UK.It was expected that Bogart would return to Meghan when they moved to the US but a source revealed he did not get on with Harry.Speaking to the Sun, a close associate of Meghan said: “Bogart never took to Harry when they spent time together in

When Eminem finished performing his song "Lose Yourself" during the Super Bowl LVI Halftime Show he took a knee. Though unconfirmed by the man himself, many have interpreted this as a show of support for Colin Kaepernick, the former San Francisco 49ers player who was largely ostracized by the league after he began kneeling before games in 2016. Early reports from Sunday suggested that Eminem had been prohibited from making the gesture while on stage, and that his decision to do it went against the NFL's demands.

Chris Evans, 55 is used to interviewing fellow celebrities and, in some cases politicians, and he knows when someone is unprepared for the kind of questions that are going to be asked.So when he heard Scottish politician Ruth Davidson reveal she believes it's important for MPs to speak the truth passionately even if people disagree with them; it was like a breath of fresh air for him.She told Chris: "You don't have to understand the intricacy of a policy to understand whether somebody's lying to you or not, frankly!"Or whether they believe what they say or whether they're passionate about it."I always took that with me, even if people didn't agree with me or I wasn't popular, it's better to say and to explain why I believe this, why I believe this is right and why we should do this."Ruth went on to explain that even those who do disagree will have "respect" because "they'll be able to tell by the way you talk about stuff that you care"."And that's what we want in a politician! Or that's what I've thought we want," she shrugged before revealing that if she "stuck to those rules" she would "be OK" in the politics game.Chris said it was "fantastic" to hear her say she believes it's important for MPs to be as prepared as they can be for interviews."It's fantastic to hear you say that!" he chuckled."What I think is crazy and, a lot of people listening I presume will think the same thing, is that some politicians think we wouldn't spot that stuff?"And they're so in the echo chamber that they're happy to tow the party line even if the party line doesn't make any sense.

Ms James continued to say that Harry should be showing more of his royal relatives around his US home, including his brother Prince William and Kate Middleton, but reported tensions have not seen that happen.

Neil Young has spoken out over a developing conspiracy theory that his music publishing is overseen by pharmaceutical corporation Pfizer – the company behind one of the most widely-used COVID-19 vaccines.In a since-deleted letter posted to his Neil Young Archives website (as transcribed by Stereogum), Young addressed the circulated belief his views on vaccines were dictated to him by Pfizer – who, according to the conspiracy theory, own Young’s music publishing.The misunderstanding stems from the fact that a former CEO at Pfizer now serves as a senior advisor for asset manager Blackstone, which currently has a partnership with music publisher Hipgnosis – with whom Young presently works.Young described the conspiracy theory as “clever but wrong” in the letter, while also quipping “so much for Pharm Aid” – a reference to both the common conspiracy theory trope of “big pharma” and his own charity Farm Aid.“The publishing share Hipgnosis has in my copyrights is in the Hipgnosis Songs Fund, that is publicly traded on the London Stock Exchange,” Young explained.“The Blackstone investment went into a separate Hipgnosis Private Fund, and none of that money was used for the Hipgnosis Songs Fund. Pfizer has not invested in Hipgnosis, but a past Pfizer CEO is a senior advisor for Blackstone.” The conspiracy theory is part of an ongoing conservative backlash against Young – most recently expressed by right-wing American rock musician Ted Nugent, who described Young as a “stoner birdbrain punk” for his recent protest against Spotify and Joe Rogan.Young removed his catalogue of albums from Spotify last month to protest the platform having Rogan’s podcast The Joe Rogan Experience as an exclusive to the service.
