Food influencers hit by car while reviewing burgers
A pair of social media influencers have been hit by a car that crashed through a restaurant window as they made a video review. Nina Santiago and Patrick Blackwood were recording the social media content at CuVee's Culinary Creations in Houston, Texas, when the SUV smashed through the glass on Sunday. In a 30-minute video they posted on YouTube, the couple are seen picking up their sandwich sliders – small burgers – and taking a bite just as the car hits the restaurant. Glass shatters over their food before they are knocked to the floor. Mr Blackwood quickly gets up, grabs Ms Santiago's arm and moves them out of the way. Both escaped with minor cuts and bruises. Ms Santiago, who goes by the handle Nina Unrated, has nearly a million followers across YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. She also has an OnlyFans account and often posts videos of dance routines. Mr Blackwood has a much smaller following with his wellness and food content. They share a joint YouTube channel called Unrated EX Files where they visit different restaurants, order vast amounts of food and carry out 'taste tests'. Hospital footage Ms Santiago and Mr Blackwood also included clips from the hospital where they are seen with several cuts on their faces and arms. Ms Santiagio says to the camera that she has 'glass all over her body' and holds up her arm in a bandage. She later says her 'body feels tight' and her 'head hurts a little bit' as she prepares to have stitches. Mr Blackwood called the incident the 'most scariest s--- ever' and said he was 'blessed and grateful' to still be alive. Ms Santiago does not stop filming the pair as they leave the hospital – both wearing blue scrubs – and get into a car. Instead of going straight home, the couple first stop at the restaurant to pick up their car and take a video of the front of the building, with the window boarded up. The video ends with the two creators going back to CuVee's for lunch the following day where they quickly settle in and appear to enjoy their food.

Photos show fully-clothed stunt double Devyn LaBella smiling on set as Kevin Costner files to dismiss her lawsuit
has hit back at stuntwoman Devyn LaBella's lawsuit in new court filings containing images that appear to show she was smiling and 'comfortable' on set while rehearsing a 'rape' scene for his Horizon western film series. In a sworn declaration obtained by Daily Mail, the 69-year-old actor-director included behind-the-scenes photos that show the scene involving LaBella was 'carefully blocked' and contained 'no nudity, simulated sex, or simulated rape.' LaBella, who was stunt-doubling for actress Ella Hunt, filed a lawsuit in May claiming she was the victim of a 'violent, unscripted, unscheduled rape scene' directed by Costner, while filming Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 2 in May 2023. According to her complaint, LaBella was 'told to lie down' while an actor was brought into simulate rape on top of her 'without warning or rehearsal.' She also claimed her undergarments were exposed. But the series of images appear to dispute that account, show LaBella 'in full costume', with bike shorts under an ankle-length dress, lying fully clothed next to actor Roger Ivens in a covered wagon. In his declaration, Costner claims the stuntwoman agreed to block the moment, was never pressured, and 'did not look uncomfortable or in distress. He adds that he had 'no reason to believe that she was upset in any way.' 'In fact, I never heard that Devyn claimed to be upset about anything that happened that day until months after principal photography of the Picture was over when I learned that she had retained an attorney,' the document states. In an amended complaint filed on June 18, LaBella included screenshots of text messages with the film's intimacy coordinator along with detailed descriptions of the painful emotions she allegedly experienced after the scene was completed. That month, Costner's attorney Marty Singer slammed her allegations in a statement to the Daily Mail, accusing LaBella of fabricating her account and insisting there was 'no intimacy or anything sexual' in the scene she filmed. Now, Costner's legal team have filed new court documents - obtained by the Daily Mail - in which they insist that LaBella's complaint be dismissed altogether. They assert that LaBella was happy on set and sent a gushingly grateful text to a supervisor after the shoot wrapped - and they are also offering their own version of what happened during the scene at issue. According to Costner's declaration, the scene was included in the script and saw LaBella 'in full costume' in bike shorts under an ankle-length dress, lying fully dressed next to actor Roger Ivens in a covered wagon. Costner maintains the scene went only as far as having Ivens lift the hem of her dress and swing a leg over her, so that he ended up 'on all fours over her.' His declaration insists: 'There was no nudity, simulated sex, simulated rape, physical contact, fighting, gyrating, or any physicality other than Devyn's outer dress being pushed from her ankles to her knees.' He also states: 'While Devyn's outer dress may have bunched up around her knees (there was a lot of fabric), the dress was still below her waist and the pantaloons and petticoats underneath remained undisturbed.' Per his version of events, the shot was blocked ahead of time with the participation of LaBella, who 'understood what was to happen and consented to help.' Costner - who directed, co-wrote, produced and starred in Horizon - also submitted declarations from other members of the cast and crew contradicting LaBella's story. Moreover, he claimed that after the wrap, LaBella texted a supervisor: 'Thank you for these wonderful weeks! I so appreciate you! I learned so much and thank you again. I'm really happy it worked out the way it did too. Have a great rest of the shoot and yes talk soon!' Costner's new filing comes nearly two months after LaBella and her legal team doubled down on their allegations, accusing Singer, Costner, and the other defendants named in her suit of conspiring to silence and discredit her, as they attempt to bury her 'indisputable evidence.' 'What happened to me on that set was a reckless violation - a breach of consent and of basic workplace safety,' LaBella said in a statement shared with the Daily Mail on June 25. 'I was told to lie down, and without warning or rehearsal, another actor was brought in to simulate a rape on top of me. My undergarments were exposed. I was left alone afterward, overwhelmed and in shock. Compliance under pressure is not consent. Consent cannot be given after the harm has already begun.' LaBella continued: 'Once the line is crossed, there is no real choice left to make. I spoke up immediately. And for that, I was met with silence, deflection, and efforts to discredit me. 'This case is not just about what happened to me. It's about a broken system that protects those in power and punishes those who speak out. It's about demanding change, not just for me but for everyone who deserves to work in safety and dignity. 'What happened on that set was wrong. Let it be known: I stood up. I told the truth. And I will never apologize for demanding the bare minimum - to be treated like a human being at work.' Her attorneys, James A. Vagnini and Kate McFarlane, both shared statements echoing LaBella's claims. Vagnini claims that, contrary to remarks made by Singer, Labella immediately objected to the traumatic incident she experienced on set and that there's strong evidence - such as texts and a report from the intimacy coordinator - that supports her account. '[T]he Defendants failed her in every possible way,' said Vagnini. 'The playbook used by Defendants like this is tired, archaic, and as hollow as their words. 'How many more men who have followed this same pattern of denial and redirection have to be sued or go to jail before they realize that leading with accountability and an apology goes a long way?'

Orlando Bloom moves into £13m bachelor pad ‘which screams I'm filthy rich & single' after Katy Perry split
ORLANDO Bloom hasn't wasted any time moving on from Katy Perry. My insiders tell me the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor has relocated to Miami for a fresh start and is renting out a seaside pad worth £13million. 6 'Orlando's new house screams, 'I'm filthy rich and single',' my mole said. 'The house is a proper bachelor pad and perfect for parties and entertaining. 'Orlando is surrounded by other famous people, too. Kourtney Kardashian and her husband Travis Barker live just down the road, as well as Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. Kevin Costner lives on the same street, too. 'It's right on the beach and Orlando has been seen there loads in the past few weeks. He seems to be settling right in and has already made friends with his direct neighbours.' Orlando and Katy announced their split last month after nine years together, with insiders revealing the Roar singer told friends it was over in January. But unlike most celebrity break-ups, which nearly always end up being very messy and very public, Katy and Orlando have been working hard to buck that trend. Since their split, they've even been seen on holiday together, with those close to them telling me they were keen to keep a strong family unit for their daughter Daisy Dove. And it's not just behind the scenes that the pair are making sure their new way of life is all sweetness and light. Orlando appeared to be the first person to have a chuckle when an AI photograph of him having dinner with former German politician Angela Merkel went viral earlier this month. Someone created the snap to poke fun at the pictures of Katy and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau having a cosy dinner in Montreal last month. Heartbroken Katy Perry told pals in January that Orlando Bloom relationship was OVER - as star removes engagement ring Two days after the pictures of Katy and Justin went online — he was spotted at her concert in Montreal with his daughter. And it was later claimed the pair had been 'texting non-stop' back in July but those close to Katy have said this had cooled off now. An insider added: 'They're both busy people — who knows what could happen in the future?' 6 The post about Orlando and Angela was reshared endlessly, with a caption that read: 'Just weeks after announcing his split with fiancee Katy Perry, English actor Orlando Bloom was photographed Friday dining with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. 'Angela kept Orlando laughing all night — he couldn't keep his eyes off her.' Orlando posted three clapping hand emojis underneath the post, with a pal adding: 'He found it hilarious.' If these two can keep this up, they'll end up as the next Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow. JUSTIN DUPE DYLAN EXPOSED BY UNBELIEBABLE DANCING A JUSTIN BIEBER lookalike duped a Las Vegas nightspot into believing he was the real deal. The imposter, Frenchman Dylan Desclos, got up on stage at the XS Nightclub in Sin City and performed for revellers who also fell for the prankster. Dylan has now been banned from any hotel or club owned by Wynn Resorts. A company spokesman said: 'As soon as the error was recognised, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry.' After checking out Dylan's social media, it's easy to see why people thought he was the famous US singer – he looks pretty much identical. Justin's model wife Hailey has even previously said how similar they look. The only thing I clocked when I checked out the videos of that night though is that Justin can dance . . . and Dylan definitely can't. Have a look at the clips doing the rounds on social media if you fancy a laugh. KISSCAM IS STILL IN PLAY THAT brilliant Coldplay kiss-cam is the gift that keeps on giving – and Chris Martin was the first to poke fun at the scandal when the group played the first of their two sold out shows in Hull. At the sold out Craven Park stadium, Chris started to read signs – including one which read: 'Three times in three months.' 6 6 Chris said: 'You were at that Boston gig? Thank you for coming again after that debacle.' At that gig the kiss-cam footage of work colleagues Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot went viral as it exposed their affair. As the kiss-cam moved around the Hull stadium, Chris added: ' We have been doing this a long time and it is only recently that it became a… 'Life throws you lemons and you've got to make lemonade. So, we are going to keep doing it.' The band are in the third year of their Music Of Spheres world tour. To date they have sold 12 million tickets – making it the highest attended rock concert in music history. Coldplay will wrap up their epic run with a ten-night residency at London's Wembley Stadium. I first revealed Chris and co were booking in for the shows last June, with the band confirming my story just weeks later. If you've got a ticket you are in for a massive treat. I first watched this show back in 2023 and it absolutely blew me away. DOECHII has pulled out of three European festivals this week – All Points East in London and Forwards in Bristol, where she was due to sing this weekend, and tomorrow's Rock En Seine in France. It appears her PR team have tried to smooth things over, as all three festivals released near-identical statements – describing the US rapper as an 'incredible artist'. But on social media, punters who had tickets aren't feeling quite as kind as they berate her last-minute cancellation. DAD WARY OF PERRIE OX DATE PERRIE EDWARDS' family were furious when she started dating ex-England midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, because they were convinced all footballers were love rats. The LITTLE MIX star, who had split from Zayn Malik 18 months before they got together in 2017, recalled: 'My dad rang me and he went, 'You've just dated a boyband member who's completely shattered your soul and now you're going for a footballer.' 'And I was like, 'He's not like the other footballers, dad. He's really nice'. 'And he was like, 'Oh, yeah, great. I bet he is'.' On the We Need To Talk podcast she added: 'We just had this impression of footballers as cheaters. But then I met him and I was like, but he's so sweet and so genuine.' Mum's the word, Dua 6 DUA Lipa has landed the cover of Harper's Bazaar UK's Icons issue, and is celebrated in the issue alongside celebs including Kate Moss. On sale from September 4, Dua chatted about having kids with fiance Callum Turner. She said: 'I'd love to have kids one day. But it's like the question of when would there ever be a good time and how much I'd have to take. 'I love kids, but there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children.' Dua is 30 on Friday but after her wild two weeks in Ibiza, she may just need a lie down. MICHELLE BECOMES MUM TO 4 BROKEBACK Mountain actress Michelle Williams has become a mum for a fourth time after having a baby via surrogate. The Hollywood star already has a teenage daughter, Matilda, from her relationship with the late Heath Ledger but now has three youngsters too. Michelle, who is married to Thomas Kail, was on US television when she revealed the news and praised her surrogate, a woman named Christine. She said: 'I've got to give a big shout out to Christine, 'cause this last baby did not come through my body. 'But the miracle of our little girl is thanks to Christine. Maybe you're watching out there; thank you, Christine. 'Thanks to Christine, I have three under five at home.' FLORENCE + THE MACHINE announced their sixth album, Everybody Scream, which will be released on Halloween. And Norwegian pop powerhouse Sigrid has said that her third album, There's Always More That I Could Say, will be out a week earlier, on October 24. It will feature her new single Fort Knox, which debuted on Radio 1 last night.
