The event that made Arnaud Démare change his view of the team occurred when the cyclist was informed, for the second time in a row, that he had not passed the trials to participate in the Tour de France. In the following days, Groupama-FDJ announced that the athlete was no longer part of the team.

The cyclist reveals that he does not fully understand what motivated the decision, as he always had the initiative to do his best and increasingly improve his performance. After the notification and the athlete still being upset with the action, the former Groupama-FDJ coach, Marc Madiot, approached him for a dialogue, however, Arnaud Démare did not agree to the conversation.

With the end of his contract, the athlete signed a new agreement with Arkéa-B&B Hotels and now feels he is capable of bringing new victories to the team: “Arkéa has never won on the Tour, I’ve already done it twice. I hope I can win again, I know I’m capable of it. That will be our goal next July.”

As reported by The Daily Mail, Britney has reportedly been the target of complaints from guests due to controversial behavior over the years.

A source from the publication revealed that the ban extends not only to entering the hotel, but also to the spa.

The situation is not unprecedented, as Britney would have already been expelled from the hotel several times in 2023, leading management to take a more drastic decision. The source mentions that despite frequenting the Four Seasons in Westlake Village for years, the singer has caused persistent problems. In 2008, she had already been banned from being there due to complaints about attracting too much attention.

It is worth noting that Britney Spears, in 2021, obtained the end of the guardianship exercised by her father, Jamie Spears, over her personal life and business. After six years of marriage, she ended her union with Sam Asghari last year and announced her intention not to return to music. The hotel in question has not officially commented on the ban.

Kelly on the other hand said “Like, how long was the relationship?”. Common gave a more detailed explanation: “I mean, I’ve been friends with a lot of exes that I’ve had, and they’ve been long relationships, ‘cause most of them end pretty good. I mean, we go through stuff at the beginning of the breakup, but then once we come to our grounds, it’s like, we’re good people. We’re cool people”. 

“Are you friends with any of your exes?”, asked Common, as Kelly bluntly responded: “No!”. “No judgment!” joked Common. “I mean, here’s the thing. I’m not not friends. I only have a couple that I’m like, ‘Hard pass’”, said Clarkson. 

“I don’t have many exes, but a couple of them are cool people — nothing wrong with them. If we ran into each other, we’d be totally friendly. But that’s the difference”, she added. Common then asked: “What if they invited you to a party? They said, ‘Man, we’re having a party for some of the family members”.

 “Yeah, depending on the ex. I would be like, ‘OK, cool. I’ll show up.’ I just feel like it can get awkward for — it depends on who ended it, or who it is. It’s situational, but mostly no. I feel like that’s awkward. No common ground there!”, explained Kelly.

As a result, on the same day that people were voting for a Republican presidential candidate in New Hampshire, Biden and his vice president Kamala Harris spoke in a battleground state about abortion, an issue that has proven to drive voters to the polls to oppose to conservative measures.

“The person most responsible for taking away this freedom in the United States is Donald Trump,” Biden said of the former president and current candidate for the Republican presidential nomination.

It is worth remembering that the US Supreme Court, with a conservative majority made possible by three judges who joined the court under Trump, overturned in 2022 the Roe vs Wade decision that guaranteed women’s right to abortion in the country.

With that, the crowd cheered Biden, but it wasn’t entirely friendly. That’s because there were too many interruptions that forced Biden to pause or try to speak amid chants of “Ceasefire now,” “Genocide Joe” and other insults, because of his support for Israel and his attack on Gaza following an attack Hamas surprise to Israel on October 7 last year.

Furthermore, Biden got loud applause from the audience when he promised to veto a national abortion ban if Republicans managed to pass it in Congress. His rally came after Virginia Democrats secured a majority in the state Legislature after making abortion a central campaign issue last year.

Biden and Kamala kicked off a series of events on Monday to highlight Democrats’ policies on abortion and what they describe as Republican threats to those rights.

However, he expressed disappointment at the absence of Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig in the Best Actress and Best Director categories.

“But there is no Ken without Barbie – and there is no Barbie film without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people who are truly responsible for this historic film that is a worldwide success. No recognition would be possible for anyone in this film without the talent , courage and genius of both.” “To say I’m disappointed they weren’t nominated in their respective categories would be an understatement,” Gosling continues.

“Against all odds, with nothing more than a pair of soulless, and, thankfully, crotchless dolls, they made us laugh, broke our hearts, drove our culture forward, and made history. Their work should be recognized along with the other nominees, who are also worthy”, he adds. “That said, I’m happy for America Ferrera and the other incredible artists who contributed their talents to make such a groundbreaking film.” America Ferrera was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for “Barbie.” The production competes in the categories of Best Film, Costume Design, Adapted Screenplay, Music (“I’m Just Ken”, by Ryan Gosling, and “What Was I Made For?”, by Billie Eilish) and Production Design, apart from Best Supporting Actress and Best Supporting Actor.
