Jordan Peele, Marlon Wayans Talk Sports Thriller ‘HIM' At Football-Themed Creators Event

Marlon Wayans and Tyriq Withers are set to star in upcoming sports thriller HIM, directed by Justin Tipping and produced by Jordan Peele under his Monkeypaw Productions. All four, in addition to co-star Julia Fox, took to Venice, Calif. Tuesday (Aug. 5) for an event promoting the film, welcoming content creators to a football-themed gathering that led to a meet-and-greet with cast members, and later, a panel discussion with Speedy Morman. Other attendees include Guapdad 4000 (who also features in the film) and Denzel Curry. 'HIM stars former college wide-receiver Tyriq Withers (Atlanta, I Know What You Did Last Summer) as Cameron Cade, a rising-star quarterback who has devoted his life, and identity, to football. On the eve of professional football's annual scouting Combine, Cam is attacked by an unhinged fan and suffers a potentially career-ending brain trauma,' reads a synopsis for the film. 'Just when all seems lost, Cam receives a lifeline when his hero, Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans), a legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural megastar, offers to train Cam at Isaiah's isolated compound that he shares with his celebrity influencer wife, Elsie White (Julia Fox; Uncut Gems, No Sudden Move). But as Cam's training accelerates, Isaiah's charisma begins to curdle into something darker, sending his protégé down a disorienting rabbit hole that may cost him more than he ever bargained for.'

Trump Ridiculed for Asking to Move a 'Bit Quicker' While Meeting With African Leaders: 'How Rude'

President Donald Trump is being criticized by social media users after telling an African leader to keep their remarks brief during a meeting with multiple leaders, encouraging them to stick to the schedule for the event. Trump met with the leaders of Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, Liberia, Mauritania and Senegal at the White House kicking off a three-day summit aiming to discuss US access to critical minerals and other natural resources. LMAO -- Trump gestures to one of the African leaders to wrap it up and then says, "maybe we're gonna have to go a bit quicker than this, because we have a whole schedule. If I could just have your name and country it would be great." — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) July 9, 2025 "My administration is committed to strengthening our friendships in Africa through economic development efforts that benefit both the United States and our partners," Trump said at a White House event during the beginning of the summit. However, the President told the leaders he was meeting with to keep their remarks brief during the event on Wednesday. "I appreciate it very much, I appreciate it. We're going to have to go a little bit quicker than this because we have a whole schedule. If I could just have your name and your country, that would be great, thank you," said the President. His remarks drew ire from social media users, who quickly took to online platforms to criticize the President for his instructions which were seen as impolite. "How rude," said one user. "They forgot to make a sign-in sheet for the meeting. LoL," joked another. They forgot to make a sign-in sheet for the meeting. LoL — Susan (@CriticSusan) July 9, 2025 "Look at him rolling his eyes because he's lost interest... because it's not about HIM," said a third. Look at him rolling his eyes because he's lost interest... because it's not about HIM. — SweetTeaFleurDeLis🇺🇸⚜🌻 (@TeaFleurde) July 9, 2025 "What an embarrassment," added a fourth. What an embarrassment. — Annalea 🪷🐝🥑🍁🌻🍌 (@citizengatsby) July 9, 2025 The President also complimented the Liberian leader, President Joseph Boakai, on his English despite the fact that English is the official language of the nation. "Where did you learn to speak so beautifully? Where were you educated? Where in Liberia?," Trump asked. "Well, that's very interesting. It's beautiful English. I have people at this table can't speak nearly as well." Originally published on Latin Times Donald trump White house Gabon Senegal

Tears at How Cat With Two Legs Proves Sceptics Wrong: 'Better Without Them'

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A fearless two-legged cat is capturing hearts across the internet after a video showcasing his impressive jumping skills went viral on Instagram. Shared by his owner, who goes by @ the clip has racked up over 1.6 million likes and countless comments cheering on Rocket, the determined feline. "I tell them 'I have a cat that only has two legs'. 'oh so he need wheels?', Holy fluffin airball," the video begins, with text overlaying a shot of Rocket launching himself from a shelf and landing gracefully on his front paws. The video then transitions into a montage of Rocket jumping from various surfaces—bookshelves, counters, and more—demonstrating incredible strength and coordination. It finishes with a clip from his kitten days, where he clings to a chair and drags himself around it, paired with the caption: "He never needed wheels." "Holy fluffin airball - no he needs no wheels. Rocket can do it better without them," the owner added in the caption. While the video doesn't go into Rocket's medical history or explain why he only has two front legs, two-legged cats can thrive with the right care and support. In some cases, cats are born with congenital conditions such as Swimmer Syndrome, which affects limb development. Other times, amputation is required due to injury or illness. Regardless of the cause, many cats adapt remarkably well. According to Forest Vets, amputee cats can lead full and happy lives once they adjust to their new way of moving. Cats have a strong instinct to adapt to their physical limitations and often show great resilience. With some modifications to their environment—such as ramps or soft landings—they continue to climb, play, and explore. The Cats Protection charity also emphasizes that disabled cats still enjoy toys, affection, and exploration just like any other cat. Owners are encouraged to provide enrichment and monitor their feline friend's comfort, but there's no need to feel sorry—many disabled cats don't know they're "different" at all.

"Have you told HIM he only has two legs??" asked Rayne. "Disability? Yeah, I got dis ability to go wherever tf I want," quipped another user. "Give him a little kiss on his forehead and tell him 'a random stranger on the internet is so proud of you and sent u a lot of love'," shared another impressed cat lover. "Bro's an amazing calisthenics athlete," added another user. "That core! That upper body strength! He is fitness goals," said another viewer. "I love this about animals. They're not sad about this kind of thing. They live, learn, and adapt," said another viewer. Newsweek reached out to @ for comment via Instagram. We could not verify the details of the case.

Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Prince Harry has spoken to BBC following the rejection of his security appeal Credit: BBC 3 During the bombshell interview he revealed a series of shocking claims Credit: BBC 3 The Royal admitted that his father, King Charles, no longer speaks to him Credit: Getty From "forgiving" his family to sharing his anger with Britain, Prince Harry has spoken out since the failed appeal. RECONCILIATION The Duke of Sussex said he would "love reconciliation" with the royal family. This comes after years of feuding with the family, including his own brother Prince William, since he and Megan stepped down as working royals in 2020. In the interview, he said: "There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family." Now he shared that he has finally "forgiven" them. FEELING LET DOWN BY UK The Prince said he felt "let down" by his country. After losing the appeal over receiving security for him and his family, he expressed he was immensely disappointed with the verdict. He described the defeat was described as a "good old fashioned establishment stitch-up" and pointed his finger at the Royal Household on swaying the decision. NO MORE UK Harry initially expressed how he was concerned for his safety in the UK. Now, facing a loss over security measures, he doesn't believe he can safely visit his come country. "I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point," he shared. SINGLED OUT The Prince said he felt like he had been "singled out" and treated unfairly by the Royal family. When talking about his treatment during the security security spat he said he'd "uncovered his worst fears" and felt he was being picked on. "I've been treated very very very differently to anyone else who exists, past or present, I've been singled out," the Duke said. NO CONTACT WITH KING CHARLES A tragic revelation in the bombshell interview was that when Prince harry revealed that his father, King Charles, won't speak to him. "He won't speak to me because of this security stuff," Harry added when making the emotional admission. The riff since "Megxit" sparked conflict between him and the family but he explained that he and the King are not even on speaking terms. KING'S INTERVENTION White the trail over Harry's security continued, it was speculated that he had asked the King to step in. Harry denied that this happened, and insisted the opposite was in fact true. He said: "I never asked him to intervene - I asked him to step out of the way and let the experts do their jobs." NO ESCAPE In the shock interview, the Duke said that no matter what he did he could not escape being a Royal "I am what I am, I can't escape what I am," he said, explaining there was nothing he could do. RISKS WITH MEGHAN The Royal said marrying Meghan Markle "increased" his risks of the UK. The Duchess of Sussex is a former actress and A-lister who comes with her own level of stardom. Harry insinuated that the pairing added to the security risks, meaning security was even more necessary the previously - therefore its denial was a bigger blow. SHOCK LOSS Harry branded the lost appeal as a complete "surprise" and appeared shocked that he would not be receiving any further security. The news led him to turn his back on the UK and claim he would no longer be visiting his homeland. KING'S DECISION He says the future of him, his family and their relationship with UK will depend on King Charles.
