Burnt ends: Singapore
At Burnt Ends, chef Dave Pynt brings fire and finesse to the table - literally. Known for its modern Australian barbecue , this Michelin-starred hotspot in Singapore revolves around an open-concept wood-fired oven , where ingredients are grilled, smoked and kissed with flame until they reach smoky, caramelised perfection.The Sanger is the crowd favourite for good reasons. A generous heap of pulled pork shoulder is tucked into a fluffy brioche bun, slathered with chipotle aioli and topped with crunchy coleslaw. It's messy, meaty and satisfying - every bite balances richness with spice. For something lighter, consider the smoked quail eggs or the beef marmalade toast, both showcasing Pynt's clever use of smoke and texture.Dessert may seem like an afterthought at a place known for barbecue. But the Marshmallow is unmissable. Torched until golden with a charred exterior, it's creamy, sweet and delicately smoky, with a surprising but welcome hint of orange. Whether you're there for a long lunch or a quick indulgence, Burnt Ends serves up fire-powered comfort with sophistication. One visit, and you'll understand why the queues form before the doors even open.

WTC Final, Day 1: After Kagiso Radada's elite bowling and Steve Smith's gritty batting, Aussie quicks put South Africa on the backfoot
Under crisp sunshine, South Africa captain Temba Bavuma and his partner David Bedingham retreated with relieved smiles to the pavilion. They would reflect on a day that was as satisfying as it was harrowing. If bowling out Australia for 212 was worthy of contentment, the score of 43/4 at stumps, and the shocking ineptitude of their top-order, would spook them. An Australian backlash was imminent. The deck still had enough juice to provoke the devils, even though the sun was blazing; South Africa's batting line-up is incredibly thin on grand-stage experience; and the trifecta of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood is as opportunistic as bowling cartels come. Starc removed the most gifted of them, Aiden Markram, with the last ball of the first over. The left-armer winkled out Ryan Rickleton, before Cummins and Hazlewood grabbed one apiece to leave South Africa reeling and anticipation already bubbling for another action-packed day. Until the collapse, the day belonged to Kagiso Rabada, who eclipsed Allan Donald as the fourth-most prolific wicket-taker for his country. He illustrated ample virtues to justify his place among the elites. Returning to competitive cricket after serving his suspension, Rabada showed no signs of rust. He rustled in, supple, graceful limbs hauling his symmetrical frame and the fire in his heart. The first ball, an in-swinger that jagged back menacingly to Usman Khawaja, set the drumbeats rolling for the seam-swing orchestra of Rabada, the most athletic and artistic of contemporary speed merchants. Jasprit Bumrah ignites raw excitement, Cummins marvels with his scientific fix of pace, precision and length mastery. But Rabada makes the most difficult art disbelievingly frictionless. He is both subtle and direct; he could swing the ball both ways by shuddering margins, he could move the ball just adequately to kiss the edge. He can be a violinist as well as a drummer, could morph into a savage quick, as well as kill batsmen softly. CAUGHT & Webster departs! 💪🏻#BeauWebster's resistance is broken! #KagisoRabada gets the breakthrough and he now moves up to No. 4 on South Africa's all-time Test wicket-takers list! 👏🏻 LIVE NOW 👉 #WTCFinal | #SAvAUS, Day 1, watch LIVE on Star Sports… — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) June 11, 2025 On a cold and damp morning, he waited 21 balls for his first wicket, inevitably of Khawaja, luring his edge with a ball on fourth-stump, just holding its shape and bouncing a trifle more than the left-handed opener was anticipating. The only mystery was how he survived Rabada's new-ball onslaught that long. The away-nibblers had him poking uncertainly twice. Rabada then pushed him to the back-foot by shortening the length, before slipping the fuller one and catching him at the crease. Khawaja would vouch that it's easier dealing bowlers with default lengths than those that interchange them with immaculate dexterity. His roar was so loud that it could have shivered the grand arena. He only grew louder as the match unfolded. The same over, he produced a wobble-seamed pearler that swung in and kicked away just a smidgeon, pouncing the outside edge of Cameron Green, captured low by the swooping claws of Markram. Rabada waited deep into the day for his next cluster of wickets, only because he was grossly unfortunate in his second spell after lunch. The second session unfolded with a smiling sun and a splendid Steve Smith, cover-driving and cutting with languid disdain. The Smith cover drive deserves a special entry in cricket lexicon, for the sheer improbability of infusing surreal grace from an antithetical set-up, the upper body swaying to the other side, left-shoulder closing, bottom-hand heavy and weight on the back foot. Yet, his bat traces a perfect, rasping arc, the bat traipsing a straight, fluid line and the elbow high and upright. All the incongruent parts rebelling to produce a most congruous stroke. He slapped Rabada through backward point for a four to bring up his fifty, before he nipped one back onto his pads. Smith had shouldered arms and was only saved by the delivery's height. The in-swinger, both of conventional and wobble seam, ran both Smith and Beau Webster ragged. The latter was repeatedly pinged on the pads, and the most straightforward one went unreviewed. It could have ended Webster's early torture on eight. The Tasmanian then recovered to post 72, his 79-run stand with Smith formed the spine of Australia's innings, which was tottering at 67 for 4 when Marco Jansen ejected Travis Head, caught acrobatically down the leg-side by wicket-keeper Kyle Verreynne. Jansen bowled with heart and heat, composed a stunner to consume Marnus Labuschagne. But the waywardness of Lungi Ngidi and Wiaan Mulder enabled Smith and Webster to recover. It looked as though Smith, in impregnable form, would make South Africa pay for the second-session slumber. But Markram's golden arm produced the breakthrough against the run of play. The part-time off-spinner was introduced so that Mulder could bowl down the slope. Smith's eyes lit up, but over-enthusiasm induced indiscretion, as he threw his hands at a tossed-up ball outside the off-stump, only for an edge to fly backwards, where Jansen pouched after a juggle. Smith kicked the turf in anger, but Webster kicked on and completed a gutsy half-century. Solid as ever! 💪🏻#SteveSmith brings up a crucial fifty under pressure, steering Australia out of a tough spot! 🙌🏻 LIVE NOW 👉 #WTCFinal | #SAvAUS, Day 1, watch LIVE on Star Sports 1, Star Sports 1 Hindi & JioHotstar — Star Sports (@StarSportsIndia) June 11, 2025 Straightaway after tea, the score at 190 for 6, Temba Bavuma summoned Rabada. Six overs and four balls later, Rabada celebrated his second entry on the Lord's honours board and South Africa were retreating with happy faces after bowling out their nemesis for 212 runs. To the lower-order batsmen, he swapped subtlety for brutality. Two fierce back-benders nailed Cummins and Starc, after he had Webster edge and slash at a widish ball. But the total already looks like a mountain to scale as Starc and Co would return to harass the most inexperienced South African batting line-up in recent memory, infusing a cold intrigue to the second day. Brief scores: Australia 212 all out (Beau Webster 72, Steve Smith 66, Kagiso Rabada 5/51) vs South Africa 43/4 (Ryan Rickelton 16, Mitch Starc 2/10)

When power meets play: Where Trump supporters go to get a drink
When you work hard (?), you gotta play harder! Trump supporters – AKA – MAGA shouters, know the drill well. When the day job ends, they regroup and get ready for a huddle! And what can be a better place for a group huddle than a bar around the block? Hence, the rise of Butterworth's! Going by the name, it'd be a common mistake to assume that this particular establishment serves Butterbeer, a non-alcoholic drink popular in the Harry Potter universe. However, that hasn't come in the way of Butterworth's rising popularity. But what does Butterworth's offer that makes it a go-to hideaway of Trump supporters and MAGA elites? Read on to find out. In the heart of Washington, D.C., just two blocks from Capitol Hill, lies a bistro that has swiftly become the epicenter of MAGA social life: Butterworth's. Aesthetically, it might be a French-style café and bar, but at the core – Butterworth's 'claim to fame' has got to do with its very American attitude. Since its opening in October 2024, this bar has transformed from a quaint neighborhood spot into a power hub for Trump supporters, political influencers, and media personalities. The birth of Butterworth's: Butterworth's, named after its Australian-born majority investor Alex Butterworth, boasts an ambiance that melds Victorian charm with European café sophistication. The interior features plush seating, antique chandeliers, and a curated selection of art, including a nod to bullfighting culture—a symbol of risk and reward. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Eat 1 Teaspoon Every Night, See What Happens A Week Later [Video] getfittoday Undo As per Raheem Kassam, a former Breitbart editor and co-owner, who told EL PAÍS, Butterworth's is a tribute to traditions and a haven for the 'weirdos and freaks' of the MAGA movement. Over time, the establishment has become a favored spot for MAGA supporters and political figures. During inauguration weekend, notable attendees included Steve Bannon, Kash Patel, and Elon Musk. The restaurant's private rooms and curated atmosphere cater to high-profile gatherings, making it a central location for political discussions and celebrations. Beyond just a bar: The influence of Butterworth's extends beyond its walls. Butterworth's has hosted events celebrating political victories and ideological shifts. In fact, very recently, after the very public break-up between President Trump and tech billionaire Elon Musk, the establishment became the site of a celebration among Trump supporters, marking what many saw as the end of Musk's influence in Trump's Washington. Moreover, this month, Butterworth's partnered with the Kennedy Center to offer a 10% discount to ticket holders, staff, and performers, symbolizing the growing cultural influence of the MAGA movement in Washington – a collaboration that reflects the ever-growing intertwining of politics and culture in the current administration. How do you enter the eccentric world of Butterworth's? Despite its growing popularity, Butterworth's hasn't resorted to making the establishment ultra-exclusive – barring the entry of common people. Hence, you do not need any special membership to dine at Butterworth's. However, due to its popularity, especially among political figures and influencers, reservations are highly recommended. But what if you can't make it to Butterworth's? Where else will you find the Trump supporters winding down while socializing and networking? Fortunately, Washington, D.C., a city often associated with political power and influence, also serves as a backdrop for various social scenes, and Butterworth's is only one among many other establishments. Take a look. Harry's Bar at Hotel Harrington Located just five blocks from the White House, Harry's Bar has become a known hangout for Trump supporters and groups like the Proud Boys.

'What a joke!': Internet reacts as thrice-divorced Billy Ray Cyrus calls Elizabeth Hurley ‘love of my life'
At 63, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus feels he has finally found the 'love of his life'. On Tuesday, he wished girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley (60) on her birthday with a sweet post but the internet found the words he used for her a little tough to digest. Sharing a photo of Liz sitting in his lap, Billy wrote, 'Happy birthday to the love of my life ❤️.' Both of them smiled brightly looking at something at a distance. She wore a hat and a red shirt while he flaunted his long dark hair in a brown shirt. Fans also wished Liz on her birthday but a few were not sold on Billy's post for her. 'How you two just started dating 😂 love of your life what a joke,' read a comment. 'How many loves of your life have you had in the last 10 years??,' asked another. 'You change the love of your life like your underwear,' read another comment. 'I am sure your kids are happy to hear that 🤦🏼♀️,' a person wrote. " Most, however, were happy to see the couple happy. Billy opened up about his bond with Liz during an appearance on The Ty Bentli Show recently. They first met while filming Christmas in Paradise in 2022 on the Caribbean island of Nevis. Although they didn't share much screen time, Billy recalled feeling a 'chemistry' between them in the few scenes they did have together. 'We just laughed, and it came at a time when I wasn't laughing much. I found it the oddest thing,' he said. Despite their very different backgrounds, Billy was surprised by how strong their connection felt. 'I figured we were so different, but in some very strange way, we had way more in common than not,' he added. Billy admitted he felt intimidated by Elizabeth's fame, describing himself as 'a kid from Flatwoods' trying to act alongside someone like her. Still, it was their shared laughter that stuck with him the most. Once filming ended, however, they lost touch. Billy Ray Cyrus has had several high-profile relationships over the years. He was first married to Cindy Smith from 1986 to 1991, and later to Tish Cyrus from 1993 until their divorce in 2022; they share five children, including Miley and Noah Cyrus. In 2023, he married Australian singer Firerose, but the marriage ended within a year. Liz was in a long-term relationship with Hugh Grant from 1987 to 2000, and the two remain close friends. In 2001, she had a brief relationship with Steve Bing, the father of her son, Damian. She later married Indian businessman Arun Nayar in 2007, but they divorced in 2011. That same year, she got engaged to Australian cricketer Shane Warne, though the engagement ended in 2013.
