Trump caught on camera taking Club World Cup medal
The medal was initially given to Trump by FIFA CEO Gianni Infantino to examine, but Trump subsequently tucked it into his suit blazer.
Infantino appeared to condone the action, allowing Trump to retain the medal, which led to the incident going viral on social media.
Trump had previously disclosed that the actual winner's trophy was gifted to him by Infantino and is kept in the Oval Office, with Chelsea receiving a replica.
Players, including Cole Palmer, expressed confusion when Trump remained on stage after presenting the replica trophy, standing alongside the team.

Citizen Kane sledge that was saved from being thrown in the trash sells for £11million
A wooden sledge that holds the key to one of cinema's greatest mystery plots has sold at auction for an eye-watering £11million. The prop, famously revealed to be 'Rosebud' in the final scene of Citizen Kane, was almost thrown in the bin until it was rescued by Gremlins director Joe Dante in 1984. Now, four decades later, the sledge has become the second most expensive piece of film memorabilia ever sold. The $14.75million sale puts it just behind a pair of ruby slippers worn in The Wizard of Oz, which went for $32million (£23.9million) in December. Joe Maddalena, executive vice president at Heritage Auctions, which handled the sale, said: 'Along with Dorothy's ruby slippers, the Rosebud sledge from Citizen Kane is one of the most iconic objects in Hollywood history.' The buyer has chosen to remain anonymous. The sledge is not just any old movie prop - in Orson Welles' groundbreaking 1941 masterpiece, it's the final, haunting image shown burning in a furnace. Viewers learn that 'Rosebud' was the name on the sledge Kane had as a child, representing his lost innocence and the only time he felt truly happy. The scene gives emotional weight to the newspaper tycoon's dying word, which kicks off the entire plot. Only three Rosebud sledges are known to exist. One is owned by Steven Spielberg, who donated his to the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. Another was destroyed during filming. This particular sledge had not been seen in years until it resurfaced on the lot of the studio once owned by RKO Radio Pictures, the original producers of Citizen Kane. Dante was directing the sci-fi film Explorers there in 1984 when a crew member cleaning out storage offered it to him. He told Heritage Auctions: 'I was astonished…Since I am a huge fan of the movie, I said, 'Yeah, I'll be glad to take it.' He later used the sledge as an Easter egg in several of his films, including Gremlins 2: The New Batch. He added: 'Citizen Kane may be the greatest film ever made, and Rosebud is the linchpin of the story, the whole heart of the plot and the focal point of the mysterious drama in Kane's life.' 'As a director, to own the prop that represents such a vital element of a cinema treasure is particularly.' Citizen Kane has topped the list of several tallies looking at the best films ever made. Alongside Orson Welles as Charles Foster Kane, it also starred screen legends such as Joseph Cotten, Dorothy Comingore, and Agnes Moorehead.

Are they having an affair or just shy? The couple caught on Coldplay's kiss cam
It is a moment of shock and mortification in Massachusetts that has transfixed the internet. A camera at a Coldplay concert near Boston sweeps the audience and picks out a canoodling couple. But as they see their image beamed on to the screen the man and woman do not kiss and wave. Instead, their eyes widen in horror and they break apart: she turns and buries her face in her hands, he ducks down to the ground, perhaps willing it to swallow him. 'Oh what,' Chris Martin, Coldplay's singer, said from the stage. 'Either they're having an affair or they're very shy.' Within minutes of the incident on Wednesday at the Gillette stadium in Foxborough, outside Boston, online sleuths were investigating and soon ruled out the second theory. The man was identified as Andy Byron, the married CEO of Astronomer, a software development company, and the woman was identified as Kristin Cabot, its head of human resources. The status of their relationship has not been confirmed but glee does not do justice to the speed with which the clip went viral and the schadenfreude it elicited. 'Busted!' was a common refrain. '#zerosympathy,' was another. Byron sits on the board and has been head of Astronomer, which is based in Cincinnati, since 2023. Cabot joined in November 2024 as chief people officer. In a press release that announced her hiring, Byron called her a proven leader. 'Kristin's exceptional leadership and deep expertise in talent management, employee engagement and scaling people strategies will be critical as we continue our rapid trajectory,' he said. In the same press release Cabot lauded the company. 'I was energised in my conversations with Andy and the Astronomer leadership team about the opportunities that exist here,' she said. In a purported statement from Byron on Thursday the CEO apologised to his family and colleagues. However, the news site cited a company representative who said the statement was fake. During the concert Chris Martin appeared to reference the Kiss Cam couple, and to anticipate the fallout. 'Holy shit,' he told the crowd. 'I hope we didn't do something bad.'

‘A wild and orgasmic ride': Basic Instinct set for ‘anti-woke' reboot
Joe Eszterhas, the screenwriter of 1992 smash Basic Instinct, is to write a reboot sources close to the project are calling 'anti-woke'. As first reported by the Wrap, Eszterhas, 80, has signed a deal with Amazon MGM for the script; the streamer guarantees a $2m fee, which will be upped to $4m should the film be made, making it the most lucrative spec sale of the year. The original film starred Sharon Stone as a serial killer author who has an affair with the investigating detective, played by Michael Douglas. An interrogation scene in which Stone's character uncrosses her legs, without underwear, made the film infamous. Stone later said revealing shots were captured without her consent. 'To those who question what an 80-year-old man is doing writing a sexy, erotic thriller: the rumours of my cinematic impotence are exaggerated and ageist,' Esztherhas said in a statement to the Wrap. 'I call my writing partner the TWISTED LITTLE MAN and he lives somewhere deep inside me. He was born 29 and he will die 29 and he tells me he is 'sky high up' to write this piece and provide viewers with a wild and orgasmic ride. That makes me very happy.' It remains unclear whether Stone's character, Catherine Tramell, will return for the film, as she did for the 2006 belated sequel directed by Michael Caton-Jones without involvement from Eszterhas. That film was both a critical and commercial failure, making back just half its budget, while the original made some $352m (more than $800m adjusted for inflation). In 2018, Eszterhas told the Hollywood Reporter that the most problematic aspect of the first film was a sex scene between Douglas and his character's psychiatrist, played by Jeanne Tripplehorn, who said in 1993 that director Paul Verhoeven had described a 'lighter' encounter to her before filming. Some 'serious #MeToo protesters' would take issue with the sequence, he said. 'It was rough sex,' he added, 'but today's yardstick is different.' According to an individual with knowledge of the deal who spoke to the Wrap, the reboot is expected to be 'anti-woke'. The first film attracted criticism from gay and lesbian activists for its portrayal of homosexual relationships and its depiction of the central murderous bisexual psychopath. The National Organisation for Women was among those who also took issue with its treatment of women, calling it 'the most blatantly misogynistic film in recent memory'. One French mayor banned the film from showing in his municipality, calling it an apology for rape. After being diagnosed with throat cancer, Eszterhas apologised for the film's glamorisation of smoking. After the success of the film, he wrote scripts for films including Sliver, Showgirls and Jade before moving back to Ohio and returning to his Catholic faith. A planned collaboration with Mel Gibson in 2012 on a biblical film fell apart after Eszterhas accused Gibson of being unhinged and encouraging antisemitic supporters to attack him. The Basic Instinct reboot is the latest in a number of pricey blockbuster projects from Amazon MGM Studios, including the Ryan Gosling sci-fi Project Hail Mary and the first in the studio's series of James Bond films, to be directed by Denis Villeneuve.
