CNN — Cosmetic surgery has, despite its obvious prevalence, long been taboo among the rich and famous. The few stars who do publicly discuss procedures are usually bowing to intense speculation or pressure to account for changes in their appearance. Even then, celebrities often share less invasive procedures (Ariana Grande admitting that she previously had lip fillers and Botox), offer medical justification (Zac Efron saying his newly chiseled features were necessitated by a jaw injury) or caveat their decision with regret (Bella Hadid telling Vogue she wished she had “kept the nose of my ancestors”). So, when “Keeping up with…

It’s that time again: with the UEFA Champions League final behind us and the 2024-25 season officially over, it’s time to rank the top 100 players in men’s soccer right now. Welcome to the FC 100.The FC 100 is different than most countdowns. It is not a Nos. 1-100 ranking.

It leads to uninspiring lists that are heavily weighted toward goal scorers (forwards) and players who create goals from midfield, paying little attention to the talent…

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) said that its hubs would be closed due to logistical work to better handle the massive number of people arriving in the hope of collecting food, and so the Israeli military could make “preparations on the access routes to the centers.” Distribution at the sites is expected to resume Thursday.

CNN — As a single mother of three “living paycheck to paycheck” in California, Janet Blaser had become resigned to constantly worrying about paying her bills and always “feeling less than.” However, she began reevaluating her life after a series of events led her to take a “random vacation” to Mazatlán, Mexico in April 2005. “I really wanted an adventure,” Janet tells CNN Travel.

The arrival of Israeli Golani Brigade forces in Morocco for the African Lion 2025 military drills has triggered political shockwaves across North Africa. It is not simply the military presence of a foreign power, but rather the symbolic weight of hosting a unit accused of war crimes in Gaza that has crystallised widespread anger among Moroccan citizens. Since the Abraham Accords, Morocco has increasingly aligned with Israeli and US interests in the military, intelligence and surveillance domains. This normalisation has been framed by the regime as a strategic imperative to counterbalance Algeria and bolster its position in the Western Sahara.…
