American shopper 'sent into coma' after Sainsbury's visit
Content creator Paige Wester, who is an American living in England, posted a TikTok where she revealed her shock and confusion over how Brits shop. Taking to Sainsbury's and in a later video Tesco, the TikTok star branded the series "things in a British grocery store that would send Americans into a coma." Both videos have gone viral on TikTok, gaining a combined nearly 3 million views. American's shocked over British supermarkets Stepping into Sainsbury's, Paige was first surprised by British eggs, sharing: "Their eggs are never refrigerated, they're always in these containers or on shelves." One big element the TikTok creator was stunned by was the beloved tea aisle: "The tea aisle is absolutely insane to me. "It's an entire aisle just dedicated to different types of teas." Paige was also surprised by Brits' love of pies: "People love to make anything into a pie. "We've got steak pies, we've got chicken pies, we've got cheesy veg pies. "Don't get me wrong, I love a good pie, but not everything needs to be inside of a pie." The TikTok then entered the 'scary' part of Sainsbury's when she discovered black pudding on the shelf: "This is where things get scary, but black pudding is a staple in most people's households." Later, the content creator visited Tesco and was confused by the amount of juice concentrate available: "Americans may be fat, but someone tell me why British people won't drink water, they have to have juice." Adding: "Let's just all grow up and drink water like a normal person." Recommended Reading Last but not least, the American was stuck on having to pack their own shopping bags, sharing: "I know this is the lazy American in me, I'm well aware of that. "But I miss people packing up my groceries for me. "I leave the grocery store actually sweating because it stresses me out so much."

Rebecca Loos' remote life and fears over TV comeback after 'pleasuring a pig'
As Rebecca Loos makes her TV comeback on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, the Mirror takes a look at what the media personality's life looks like now, more than 20 years after 'Pig-gate' Back in 2004, Rebecca Loos made headlines after making allegations that threatened to rock the marriage of the '00s golden couple, David and Victoria Beckham. Rebecca, now 48, briefly worked as football icon David's personal assistant in 2003 following his high-profile transfer to Real Madrid. In an interview given to the now-defunct News of the World, the Madrid-born former glamour model claimed she and David had embarked on a steamy night of passion behind Victoria's back. The Beckhams dismissed these claims as "ludicrous", while Rebecca used her newfound platform to launch a reality TV career. Perhaps most notably, the media personality made an appearance on Channel 5's controversial 2004 offering The Farm. Slammed as "morbid and sordid" by the RSPCA, the divisive show followed celebs as they competed for the title of "Top Farmer", with challenges centred around agriculture and livestock rearing. Rebecca, who came in third place behind Jeff Brazier and Vanilla Ice, provided what was arguably the most memorable moment of the first series. Wearing rubber gloves, Rebecca was seen pleasuring a boar to extract semen, in scenes that sparked a flurry of Ofcom complaints. While some viewers argued that the act was "akin to bestiality", as per the Manchester Evening News, Ofcom ultimately ruled that the incident had not been "degrading or harmful to the boar", clearing Channel Five of breaching taste and decency. Although the memory of 'pig-gate' still lingers in public consciousness, Rebecca's life has changed in many ways since her days as a darling of the reality TV circuit. Indeed, Rebecca bowed out of the spotlight not long after her whirlwind ascent to fame and now lives a much quieter life in the picturesque hamlet of Hemsedal in the mountains of Norway. It's here where former Playboy model Rebecca has found happiness with her husband, Sven Christjar Skaiaa, a Norwegian doctor she met while shooting the 2008 reality TV series 71 Degrees North. While Rebecca appeared in front of the camera, Sven was working behind the scenes as a medic. Despite appearing to come from very different worlds, sparks soon flew, and it wasn't long until Rebecca realised she'd found the one. The following February, Rebecca announced that she and Sven were expecting a baby, telling Spanish gossip programme 'Esta Pasando':"I wasn't planning on having a child. It was an accident. But the child will be very welcome and very loved." She continued: "He is not well-known. He's Norwegian. We met after the summer in Norway, and he's a doctor. We're both delighted with the pregnancy. He wasn't a fling, he's my boyfriend, and I hope to spend the rest of my life with him." Noting that change was on the horizon, Rebecca then vowed: "Becoming a mother will change everything. My years as a crazy, single woman are over." Rebecca and Sven, who tied the knot in a small ceremony in 2012, set off for a new life in Hemsedal, in southern Norway's Buskerud county, where they raise their two sons in the remote "Scandinavian Alps". A far cry from the media buzz of London, Rebecca's idyllic-looking home is a three-hour drive from the nearest airport and a two-hour drive to the closest hospital. However, she doesn't seem to miss the conveniences of city life one bit. and, in a previous interview with the MailOnline, she claimed to have "no regrets". Mum of two Rebecca revealed: "I am so happy. I have no regrets. "People said I was mad, who was this guy? I hardly knew him, what on earth was I doing? But look at everything I have now. I am so happy with my life now. Many people are so afraid of change. "Change is good, change is how you learn, people should just f***ing go for it. I like the way my life has taken me. If I hadn't been famous, I would not have been invited on the TV show where I met my husband, Sven, and had my lovely boys. I would not have had the life I have now. I took a lot of wrong decisions and got talked into a lot of things." Nowadays, Rebecca works as a yoga teacher and massage therapist, and only ever makes a handful of media appearances. Information on Rebecca's official website offers a little insight into her huge career change. According to this website: "In 2009, life led Rebecca to the picturesque landscapes of Hemsedal, Norway. This move marked a significant shift in her journey, as she embraced a new way of living that prioritised connection to nature, family, and personal growth. "While adjusting to a new language and community, she completed a rigorous three-year education to become a certified Medical Assistant in 2011. This background not only solidified her medical knowledge but also deepened her appreciation for holistic health. "Following the birth of her second child in 2012, Rebecca's yoga practice evolved beyond its initial physical focus. She embarked on a deeper exploration of Ashtanga yoga, experiencing firsthand how the practice revealed hidden layers of resilience, presence, and joy. Each session became an opportunity for self-discovery and reflection, enhancing her commitment to share this journey with others." Now Rebecca has emerged from her idyll to participate in Celebrity SAS, where she's faced a grilling over her accusations about the Beckhams. When quizzed by Jason Fox and Chris Oliver in the show's Mirror Room, Rebecca discussed the motivation behind her TV comeback, admitting: 'I just wanted to show people who I am and just be myself, which has always been my thing. And I just went in it with a very open mind and take it as it comes. 'I was quite nervous as to how the others would perceive me. I was nervous and apprehensive as to how the show would be edited, because that's always something you have no control of. However, I must say the production team on this show have been absolutely amazing from day one, they have been truthful, they have stuck to their word." Touching upon how differently she and Beckhams are perceived by the public, she reflected: 'It felt unjust that my life was pretty hell and his (Becks) life kept going and kept blossoming. I've been accused of being a liar. I've had a lifetime of opinions around me, I've definitely developed thick skin. "I think the public opinion now has softened, at least from what I'm gathering since the documentary came out with the Beckhams a couple of years ago. I think it is now because thanks to social media, there is a whole different following out there, which it's a double-edged sword.

Metallica at The Sphere: 6 artists we want to see at Las Vegas venue
The metal giants are rumoured to be taking up a residency in 2026, but who do we want to see perform at The Sphere? Sign up to our daily newsletter Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to Edinburgh News, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... The Sphere could have it's next residency lined up for 2026. Reports have suggested that Metallica could perform a series of dates at the multi-billion-dollar Las Vegas venue in Autumn 2026. But who do we think could be a stunning residency at The Sphere should the opportunity arise? Could Metallica be the next huge act to perform at the multi-billion-dollar The Sphere in Las Vegas? That's currently the rumour doing the rounds after the weekend, after Blabbermouth reported (via Vital Vegas) that the metal giants are 'ready to ink a deal' to take up a residency in the $2.3bn venue around 'fall of 2026.' That timing would fall after the band completes their current M72 World Tour, with their European leg set to conclude in June next year. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad It's been a query that's not new to the group; when asked by The Hollywood Reporter this past April if the band would entertain the idea of performing at the venue, Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett was very keen on the idea, responding: 'Oh, heck, yeah! That's a great example of how venues are changing. That's using modern technology to the fullest, to really up the levels of production and entertainment, connected to AI and making it a crazy experience.' They would follow the likes of U2 and Phish, who have both undertaken residencies at the venue before, along with the Backstreet Boys, who are currently bringing their 'Into the Millennium' tour to The Sphere this Summer 2025 as the very first Pop Act to perform there. Due to overwhelming demand, they've even added three final shows on August 22, 23, and 24. But if there is a suggestion box for who else could play The Sphere, we've a couple of suggestions ourselves we'd like to see with the full, futuristic audio-visual setup. Who do we want to see perform at Las Vegas' The Sphere? Tool Tool's intricate, progressive, and visually driven live performances are already legendary, even in conventional venues. Their use of complex, often abstract, and psychedelic visualizers would be taken to an entirely new level within the Sphere's 160,000 square-foot wrap-around LED screen. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The band's emphasis on atmosphere and deeply immersive soundscapes would find a perfect home, allowing for a truly meditative yet overwhelming sensory experience that few other artists could match. The Sphere's advanced sound system would perfectly articulate the subtle nuances and seismic shifts in their music. Dr. Dre and Associates Imagine the iconic West Coast sound echoing through the Sphere's unparalleled audio system, accompanied by visuals that transport the audience through the history of hip-hop, the streets of Compton, or abstract interpretations of their beats. Dr. Dre, along with a rotating cast of his legendary associates (Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, Ice Cube, etc.), could craft a hip-hop spectacle unlike anything seen before. The visual storytelling potential for tracks like 'Still D.R.E.' or 'California Love' would be phenomenal, making it a cultural landmark event - and potentially another appearance of Tupac akin to Coachella? Gorillaz Gorillaz's unique blend of music and animated characters makes them an ideal candidate for The Sphere. The venue would allow for the virtual band members (2-D, Murdoc, Noodle, Russel) to be brought to life on a scale never before imagined, interacting with each other and the audience in a truly immersive digital environment. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Live musicians could perform within this animated world, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. The visual storytelling capabilities for their eclectic musical styles and narratives would make for a truly innovative and fun residency. Pink Floyd This is arguably the most natural fit for The Sphere. Pink Floyd's entire artistic legacy is defined by ground-breaking visual spectacles, elaborate stage productions, and immersive concept albums. The Wall projected across the entire dome, Dark Side of the Moon with cosmic journeys unfolding above and around the audience, or Wish You Were Here with haunting, expansive landscapes. The Sphere's perfect audio and visual capabilities were practically made for a band like Pink Floyd to deliver the ultimate psychedelic rock experience, building on their history of pushing technological boundaries in live performance. Charli XCX Charli XCX's boundary-pushing pop, hyperpop aesthetics, and energetic stage presence make her a prime candidate for The Sphere. Her shows are already known for their vibrant, often chaotic, and highly stylized visual elements. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The Sphere would allow her to create an even more exaggerated, surreal, and interactive environment, playing with scale and digital immersion to build a truly unique pop concert experience. She could create a hyperreal world that perfectly complements her experimental sound. Led Zeppelin While the logistical challenges of a reunion for Led Zeppelin are immense, the sheer fantasy of seeing them at The Sphere is undeniable. Imagine 'Stairway to Heaven' with celestial visuals encompassing the entire dome, or 'Whole Lotta Love' with kaleidoscopic patterns and psychedelic light shows engulfing the audience. Their iconic blues-rock sound, raw energy, and mystical lyrical themes would find a transcendent canvas in the Sphere's technology, offering a multi-sensory journey through their legendary discography that would be a once-in-a-lifetime event. Daft Punk While their live appearances are rare and highly coveted, Daft Punk's entire artistry is built on a seamless blend of music, light, and futuristic aesthetics. A Daft Punk residency at The Sphere would be nothing short of a religious experience for electronic music fans. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Their iconic pyramid stage could be reimagined within the Sphere's vast interior, with visuals transforming the entire space into an ever-evolving, mind-bending electronic landscape. The precise synths and driving beats, combined with truly revolutionary visuals, would be an absolute masterclass in audio-visual performance.
