Peppa Pig announces gender of Mummy Pig's new baby in epic reveal
Peppa Pig fans are in for some exciting news today as the gender of Mummy Pig's new baby will 'swineally' be revealed to the world. The smash hit UK cartoon caused a stir across the globe earlier this year when it was announced that the fictional pig family were expecting a new addition to their brood. There was a huge fanfare and even an interview with Peppa and Mummy Pig on ITV Good Morning Britain back in February to let fans know the happy update from the world of Peppa Pig. Though some viewers were left rather disgruntled by the light-hearted stunt, with some branding it a "joke" and threatening to switch off. One such unhappy viewer said: "Turning off... this programme is becoming a joke," while another questioned the necessity of such an unusual moment: "Wtf is the point of this cringeworthy Peppa Pig interview?". Confusion spread as one fan then questioned: "Am I tripping? Why are they interviewing Peppa Pig?" while another labelled the content as sheer madness: "This segment is bonkers." But as the sun sets on this Friday, a huge spectacle in London will herald the latest baby news from 'Peppatown' as Battersea Power Station chimneys will light up in celebration of the gender reveal. And the colour? It'll be pink! as the "It's A Girl!" moment kicks off following a night of colour-changing lights between pink and blue to build anticipation. The event kicked off at 2pm today, at the world's first ever-permanent Peppa Pig store, which is situated inside the famous power station. It'll feature baby-themed fun, character appearances, cupcakes, and fundraising in support of National Children's Trust (NCT) the UK's leading charity for pregnancy and parents. There will also be a donation point at the till for Battersea store, where consumers can donate to the great cause, with more exciting activities for NCT coming soon to the Peppa store. Everyone is invited to come down and watch the exciting reveal, alongside join the gender reveal party earlier in the day, but if a quick trip to the capital is out of the cards as a last minute plan on a Friday afternoon, then fear not, there are lots of 'pig' things awaiting fans. Peppa Pig kicks off a whole new era with the arrival of the new member of the clan, including Peppa Meets the Baby, a brand-new cinema experience launching on May 30 in over 2,600 cinemas across 19 countries. This hour-long, song-filled screening features 10 brand-new episodes, as Peppa and George prepare for the arrival of their baby sister. In addition, the gender reveal episode will air on YouTube on May 3 as part of the Peppa Pig Tales series. It's the beginning of a brand-new chapter for Peppa – and the biggest shake-up in the show's 20-year history .

Hotel security officer testifies Diddy paid $100K to suppress assault video
This is a free article for Diddy on Trial newsletter subscribers. Sign up to get exclusive reporting and analysis throughout Sean Combs' federal trial. Much of today's testimony was spent revisiting Diddy's March 2016 assault on Casandra Ventura, an incident at the InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles that was captured on security video and shown to jurors at the start of his trial. Eddy Garcia, the hotel's security supervisor, testified that Diddy and his team desperately wanted to get the sole copy of the video and prevent it from getting out. In exchange for $100,000 divided among members of the hotel's security team, Garcia said, he signed a nondisclosure agreement that called for his silence and the destruction of evidence. Here's what else to know about today's testimony: Garcia testified that he was so 'nervous' about the NDA that he didn't read it all before he signed it. Diddy presented stacks of cash in a brown paper bag, added Garcia, who said he bought a used car with his $30,000 share. Garcia also said he wasn't initially truthful to police when he was asked about the assault. On cross-examination, the defense pointed out the NDA didn't stop Garcia from speaking about it in legal proceedings, a line of questioning presumably intended to undermine the government's potential claim of obstruction of justice. After Garcia, Derek Ferguson, the former chief financial officer of Bad Boy Entertainment, took the stand to discuss the structure of Diddy's businesses and how money flowed. 🔎 The view from inside By Adam Reiss and Jing Feng For the first time during the trial, a spectator disrupted the courtroom decorum, prompting U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian to order court marshals to 'escort her out right now.' The uproar began before the jury was seated and Garcia took the stand. At first, both prosecutors and the defense team were discussing with Subramanian exhibits in the trial and whether to offer evidence of Diddy's jail calls. Prosecutors also complained to Subramanian that a person who had been in the courtroom Monday broadcast on YouTube the real identity of a government witness, who went by the pseudonym 'Mia' when she testified. Suddenly, a woman in the courtroom began shouting in defense of Diddy, including that 'it's not right what they're doing to him' and 'Diddy's innocent.' She was quickly removed. Prosecutors later told Subramanian that the true name and identity of 'Mia' were being reported and asked for him to ban the outlet that made them public from the court. He said he would consider such a court order. Tomorrow: Frank Piazza, a forensic video expert, and Bryana Bangolan, who alleges that Diddy dangled her over an apartment balcony, may testify. PSA: Every night during Diddy's trial, NBC's 'Dateline' will drop special episodes of the 'True Crime Weekly' podcast to get you up to speed. 'Dateline' correspondent Andrea Canning chats with NBC News' Chloe Melas and special guests — right in front of the courthouse. Listen here. 🎧

Celebrity Gogglebox fans 'buzzing' as Inbetweeners legend joins new season
The Inbetweeners star James Buckley has delighted fans after confirming he and his wife Clair will appear on Celebrity Gogglebox. The 37-year-old actor, best known for portraying Jay Cartwright in the hit 00s sitcom, took to social media to share the exciting news. 'Hi guys, how's it going? We are joining the Gogglebox family. We're going to be watching some great TV and some not so great TV. And you'll be able to join us on Friday on Channel 4 at 9pm,' he said. James and Clair have already won fans over with their joint YouTube/podcast/book brand, At Home With The Buckleys which tackles 'the wild ride that is modern marriage, parenting and adulting'. The parents of two children are candid about their 'early lives, years of cult TV fame, having children and setting up their YouTube channel', cultivating over 250k subscribers. If that wasn't enough, they also have another podcast, In Sickness and In Health which focuses on discussing 'relationship non-negotiables.' As such, there is plenty of excitement to see this dynamic duo bring their witty rapport to the Gogglebox sofa. 'Can't wait to see you on it jay cartwright you legend,' Chris_leeds_united_woodrow said. 'Omg I'm buzzing!! Cannot wait!' jessica_sellwood95 echoed. 'These two are class. What an addition to gogglebox this is gonna be,' kellyann83 agreed. 'I'm already seated and laughing,' martinezcorno said. 'Literally, the best news!' foxytam1 added. 'Best news I've had today, yous will be brilliant,' Chris_canney declared. 'Haven't watched Googlebox in ages but definitely be tuning in now,' one convert shared. They will be joined on the sofa for the seventh season by Nick Grimshaw and niece Liv, Diversity duo Jordan Banjo and Perri Kiely and Rylan Clark and his mum, Linda. There are even rumours that Alison Hammond and her son Aiden – who have also done a travel show together – will make an appearance. 'Producers were impressed by the dynamic between Aidan and his mum on their new travel show, so wanted a piece of it for Celebrity Gogglebox,' a TV insider told The Sun. They continued: 'They're always looking for new duos to appear on the programme to keep it constantly feeling fresh, and, of course, fronting the Great British Bake Off means she's already part of the C4 family.' James Buckley's wife Clair, also 37, is an actor who appeared in various movies throughout the 2010s including Vendetta and The Comedian's Guide To Survival and an episode of the TV series Zapped (opposite her husband James). As recounted to The Guardian in 2022, the pair met over Twitter when Clair – who was living in Scotland at the time and had never seen The Inbetweeners – dropped him a message as he was grieving the loss of a friend. They finally met at one of James' DJ sets in Liverpool, where they bonded over their mutual love of The Beatles and the rest, as they say, is history. The loved-up couple got married in 2012 and have since had two sons together – Harrison and Jude – and have now forged a joint career documenting their lives. 'Our YouTube channel really took off during lockdown. Because I was in The Inbetweeners, which was such a success, viewers were curious about what my life might be like. 'What they found was far from some celebrity existence: we are from traditional working-class backgrounds and we don't take anything too seriously. People see themselves in us. 'Once lockdown was over, I thought our audience would be after more exciting content, but it turns out they just want to watch us sitting on the sofa getting on each other's nerves!' James told The Guardian. Their YouTube and podcast brand plays off th eplayful dynamic between the couple in which James gets on Clair's nerves. More Trending 'My favourite thing in the world is to get on Clair's nerves. And Clair is quite easy to wind up. So that's sort of what the podcast is as well,' he told NME about their recently launched show, The Buckleys. 'I would say it's a married couple podcast, but not how you usually see them. It's actually how married people talk to each other. 'We're talking about stuff that's mundane but funny. And when listeners come back at us with opinions, they're funny opinions,' Clair added.

Brad Pitt Did Not Testify In Diddy's Trial, But His Name Came Up In Court – Here's Why
Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. His trial is expected to last eight weeks. Combs has pleaded not guilty and denies all allegations. In a bizarre twist in the high-profile criminal trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs, one of the biggest sources of misinformation is coming from daily viral YouTube videos about fake testimonies. The latest involves Brad Pitt. One video, titled '1 MINUTE AGO: Brad Pitt Testifies In Court on Day 14 Of Diddy Trial' has received thousands of views in a single day – enough to send people down a rabbit hole looking for more information about Pitt's involvement in the trial. However, if you scroll to the bottom of the video's description it reads: 'The stories presented on this channel are entirely fictional and crafted solely for entertainment. Any resemblance to real events, individuals, or situations is purely coincidental and unintentional. These narratives are not intended to depict, reference, or represent any actual occurrences, persons or entities.' Here's everything we know about Pitt's involvement. No, as stated above, Pitt has not testified in Diddy's trial. Nor is he accused of any wrongdoing or implicated in the allegations in any way. The video claims Pitt told the court, 'He made me disappear without anyone noticing' and goes into an elaborate fan fiction story about the rapper and actor's relationship. While Pitt and Diddy were likely to have run in the same circles and attended the same parties over the years, little is known about whether the pair shared a close friendship. Aside from Diddy attending the Cannes premiere of Pitt's film Killing Them Softly in 2012, there is not much information online about their relationship. Despite not testifying, Pitt's name did come up when Diddy's former assistant who is testifying as 'Mia' took the stand. She told the court she once saw Diddy assault his ex-girlfriend of 10 years, Cassie Ventura, at the premiere of Killing them Softly at the Cannes Film Festival in 2012. Mia said Cassie and Diddy were in the cinema talking when Diddy gritted his teeth and started 'digging his nails into her arms'. She added that while 'no one ever leaves in the middle of a premiere event', Diddy insisted that Cassie leave, which she did. Before Diddy's trial began, the judge joked that the list of names and places read like 'an appendix of Lord of the Rings'. While several names have falsely been brought into the trial, such as Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Mila Kunis, celebrities who have been testified or been mentioned in court include Cassie, Kid Cudi, Jay Z, Chris Brown and Lauren London. However, none of those people have been accused of any wrongdoing.
