Katie Price: defying odds and embracing motherhood again with IVF for baby number six
Image: Katie Price Instagram
Katie Price, the iconic former glamour model and reality TV star, continues to navigate her ambitious journey toward motherhood. She has revealed her unwavering desire to have a sixth child through IVF.
At 46, the mother of five has documented her attempts to conceive on her reality show, "Katie Price: Making Babies', which aired earlier this year.
Despite facing setbacks, including a miscarriage, Price's resolve remains firm as she explores alternative routes to expand her family.
In a recent appearance on Paul C Brunson's "We Need To Talk Podcast', Price opened up about her experiences and plans. "I had IVF and it failed because my eggs are too old," she candidly shared.
"I gave it a go even though the doctors said you've got a 1% chance of that working, but I just said I might be that 1%. I'm doing it!"
Her determination shines through as she speaks about the steps she has taken to prepare for another child, including acquiring donor eggs last year.
Price has specific expectations for her future child, stating she hopes for one that resembles her, mentioning her dark hair and green eyes, tied to her Italian and Spanish heritage.
"You don't see the picture, but they go on how I look," she explained.
Moreover, she disclosed her proactive approach to motherhood, indicating that before her current relationship with boyfriend JJ Slater, she had already sourced a sperm donor from the United States.
"I'm not afraid to have a baby on my own," she asserted, showcasing her commitment to motherhood regardless of her current relationship status.
While Price has a high-profile partner, she mentioned an openness to co-parenting arrangements. If she finds "someone" willing to have a child with her, she remains flexible.
However, she remarked, 'I'd have to say to them, well, obviously you can never have my eggs, so you'll never have the Pricey DNA.'
With a well-defined plan in place, her candid remarks on the complexities of modern motherhood resonate strongly in this age of flexibility in family structures.
Although her dreams of another child are notable, Price clarified that she is in "no rush" to marry again.
Reflecting on past relationships, she said, 'I've been there so many times. It's not important to me; it's aggro when you divorce.'

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez finally score the ultimate goal: engagement after nine years
Cristiano Ronaldo and his long-time girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez shared the joyful news of their engagement on social media. Image: Instagram Cristiano Ronaldo finally got the 'click'! Congratulations are in order for the Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and his long-time girlfriend, Georgina Rodríguez, who recently announced their engagement. Taking to Instagram on Monday, August 11, the Argentine-Spanish model shared the exciting news of their engagement as she showed off the giant diamond ring on her wedding finger, with Ronaldo's hand in the frame. The 31-year-old captioned her post: 'Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.' The couple have been together for nine years and met in 2016 when the model was still working at a Gucci store in Madrid. They share two children out of the five kids the award-winning footballer has. The public has closely followed the couple's evolving love story, with much discussion surrounding their relationship and the swiftness of their engagement. They have had mounting pressure from not only the public, but also friends who have always asked when Ronaldo will pop the question since they have been together for such a long time. The model, who starred in her own Netflix reality show 'I Am Georgina' three years ago, had previously commented on engagement rumours, stating on the show that her friends 'were always joking about the wedding.' 'Since Jennifer Lopez's song 'The Ring Or When' came out, they started singing it to me. And well, this is not up to me,' she said. Responding to the model's question, Ronaldo shared that they should wait for the 'click' to get married; however, he is certain that they will get married. 'I always tell her, 'When we get that click.' Like everything with our life, and she knows what I'm talking about,' he said. The footballer also added that the engagement or wedding could happen anytime. 'It could be in a year, or it could be in six months, or it could be in a month. I'm 1,000% sure that it'll happen,' he said. Fans and friends flooded the comment section to congratulate the couple on their engagement news. 'Just breathtaking! Congratulations,' @jenafrumes commented.

Antonio Banderas rules out retirement as he turns 65
Spanish film star Antonio Banderas said in an interview published Sunday for his birthday that he has no plans to slow down now that he has reached 65. "When I was 20, I thought that 65-year-olds walked with a cane," said Banderas, known for roles in films such as "The Mask of Zorro", "Desperado" and "Philadelphia", in an interview with the Spanish daily El País. "Back then, at 65 you retired. Not anymore -- now it's later." "Maybe I'm doing things I shouldn't be doing," added Banderas, who suffered a heart attack in 2017. "But the doctors don't say anything to me. They say I'm fine, that I should do whatever I want." The actor said he has recently started music theory classes and bought himself a piano. "I think I'd be one of those people who die if they stop. And I work at what I love; it's been the luck of my life," he said. Banderas, who began acting in the 1980s, said he remains busy running the theater he opened in 2019 in his hometown of Malaga, in southern Spain. He spent part of the summer in Boston filming a biopic of legendary chef Anthony Bourdain, titled "Tony", and then traveled to Spain's Canary Islands to work on a thriller "Above and Below".

Italian Brainrot: the AI memes only kids know
In a Japanese shop selling pocket-money trinkets, there is a rack of toys, stickers and keyrings based on a global crew of AI-generated characters that almost every child knows about -- and very few adults. A walking shark in oversized sneakers, an orange with muscular arms and a twirling "Ballerina Cappuccina" with a mug for a head are among the strange stars of the online phenomenon called Italian Brainrot. "At first it's not funny at all, but it kind of grows on you," 16-year-old Yoshi Yamanaka-Nebesney from New York told AFP. "You might use it to annoy someone and find that funny." The name nods to the stupefying effect of scrolling through mindless social media posts, especially over-the-top images created with artificial intelligence tools. Shouty, crude and often nonsensical Italian voiceovers feature in many of the clips made by people in various countries that began to spread this year on platforms such as TikTok, embraced by young Gen Z and Gen Alpha members. The dozen-plus cartoonish AI creatures have fast become memes, inspiring a stream of new content such as "Brainrot Rap", viewed 116 million times on YouTube. A YouTube Short titled "Learn to Draw 5 Crazy Italian Brainrot Animals" -- including a cactus-elephant crossover named "Lirili Larila" -- has also been watched 320 million times. "There's a whole bunch of phrases that all these characters have," said Yamanaka-Nebesney, in Tokyo with his mother Chinami, who had no idea what he was talking about. School-age Italian Brainrot fans can be found from Kenya to Spain and South Korea, while some of the most popular videos reference Indonesia's language and culture instead. "I went on trips with my boys to Mexico" and people would "crack jokes about it" there too, Yamanaka-Nebesney said. - 'Melodic language' - Internet trends move fast, and Italian Brainrot "hit its peak maybe two months ago or a month ago", said Idil Galip, a University of Amsterdam lecturer in new media and digital culture. Italian -- a "melodic language that has opportunities for jokes" -- has appeared in other memes before. AFP | STR And "there are just so many people in Indonesia" sharing posts which have potential for global reach, Galip said. A "multi-level marketing economy" has even emerged, with AI video-makers targeting Italian Brainrot's huge audience through online ads or merchandise sales, she added. Nurina, a 41-year-old Indonesian NGO worker, said her seven-year-old loves the mashed-up brainrot world. "Sometimes when I pick him up from school, or when I'm working from home, he shouts, 'Mommy! Bombardino Crocodilo!'" -- a bomber plane character with a crocodile head. "I know it's fun to watch," said Nurina, who like many Indonesians goes by one name. "I just need to make him understand that this is not real." Some videos have been criticised for containing offensive messages that go over young viewers' heads, such as rambling references in Italian to "Bombardino Crocodilo" bombing children in Gaza. "The problem is that these characters are put into adult content" and "many parents are not tech-savvy" enough to spot the dangers, warned Oriza Sativa, a Jakarta-based clinical psychologist. - Tung Tung Tung Sahur - The best-known Indonesian brainrot character "Tung Tung Tung Sahur" resembles a long drum called a kentongan, which is used to wake people up for a pre-dawn meal, or sahur, during Ramadan. Indonesia has a young, digitally active population of around 280 million, and "Tung Tung Tung Sahur" is not its only viral export. This summer, video footage -- not AI-generated -- of a sunglass-wearing boy dancing on a rowboat during a race at a western Indonesian festival also became an internet sensation. Noxa, the TikToker behind the original "Tung Tung Tung Sahur" clip, is now represented by a Paris-based collective of artists, lawyers and researchers called Mementum Lab. "Noxa is a content creator based in Indonesia. He's under 20," they told AFP. "He makes fast, overstimulated, AI-assisted videos." "He doesn't call himself a 'contemporary artist', but we think he's already acting like one," said Mementum Lab, which is focused on complex emerging issues around AI intellectual property, and says it is helping Noxa negotiate deals for his work. Noxa, in comments provided by the collective, said the character was "inspired by the sound of the sahur drum I used to hear". "I didn't want my character to be just another passing joke -- I wanted him to have meaning," he said. Cultural nuances can be lost at a mass scale, however, with one 12-year-old tourist in Tokyo saying he thought "Tung Tung Tung Sahur" was a baseball bat. And the generation gap looks set to persist. "What's that?!" laughed a woman as she puzzled at the row of Italian Brainrot dolls. "It's not cute at all!"
