She-Wolf Romulus and Remus statue stolen in manor break-in
Thieves have stolen a large statue of She-Wolf with Romulus and Remus from a manor house following a break-in. Four large bronze statues including a pair of fawns and a bust of Antinous, Emperor Hadrian's lover, were stolen from Iford Manor, Wiltshire, in the middle of its jazz festival. Police have launched an investigation into the theft, which took place overnight on Thursday. The She-Wolf statue has stood on the Great Terrace for more than 120 years after it was cast from the original for Harold Peto, the Edwardian architect and garden designer whose family acquired the manor in 1899. The statue also provided the backdrop for the 2020 adaptation of The Secret Garden with Hollywood actor Colin Firth. William Cartwright-Hignett, the managing partner of Iford Manor Estate, told The Telegraph: 'My overwhelming sense is frustration and sadness, I'm angry on behalf of heritage and the place. 'This isn't just a theft from me and my wife, it is a theft from the manor and its culture. 'The She-Wolf statue is the essence of the whole garden. That is the thing that really galls me the most.' Mr Cartwright-Hignett, who was in the middle of serving lunch to the 45 people who had come to support the Jazz Festival on Saturday, added: 'We feel we are the guardians of this place, as were my parents before me. I can't help but feel I've failed in my guardianship. 'When we took over in 2016, we wanted it to be a haven to escape the day-to-day riggers. When that place is violated, it makes it very difficult.' He also speculated that the theft could not have been a two-person job because the statues are made from bronze. 'They have stolen these statues with the utmost care,' he added. 'If someone wants to put them in a layby and let us know, we'll come and pick them up.' Raising awareness on Instagram, the Iford Manor account said: 'Tragically this morning we woke up to discover that certain statues within the garden including our iconic She-Wolf with Romulus and Remus have been stolen in the night in the early hours of Friday morning in the middle of our jazz festival. 'We would urge anyone with any information to please contact the police, crime stoppers, or ourselves to try to return these iconic pieces to their homes where they belong.' Police have urged the public to come forward if they witnessed any suspicious activity in the area between 10.45pm on Thursday and 8am on Friday. Antique dealers and auction houses have also been advised to be vigilant.

Shakira Reunites With Alejandro Sanz and Wyclef Jean On Stage
In case you needed a reminder, Shakira is still thriving. Case in point: the Colombian icon's latest project won a Grammy for Best Latin Pop Album, she looked stunning in a Prabal Gurung gown at the Met Gala, and now, she's on a World Tour supporting Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran. And, ya know, she's had a fruitful music career for almost 35 years with hits like 'She Wolf' and 'BZRP Music Sessions #53.' Shak kicked off the U.S. leg of the Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran Tour in Charlotte, North Carolina, on May 13. To commemorate the occasion, she pulled out all the stops and brought out not one, but two special guests: Alejandro Sanz and Wyclef Jean. Alejandro and Shakira performed their record-breaking 2005 track, 'La Tortura,' at Bank of America Stadium for the first time in six years. They last sang the song together during Alejandro's 2019 tour stop in Barcelona, and the Spanish singer showed love for his collaborator on social media after their on-stage reunion in NC. Shakira shared a post where she gushed about him and their decades-long friendship. 'How they cheered for you last night!!! A thousand years may pass, along with a thousand more, but what happens between us on stage will remain unique! ❤️' she wrote in Spanish. He also left a heartfelt comment, writing, 'My @shakira, my heart. Our chemistry stays on stage but my love for you travels with me everywhere. Thank you so much, my wolf. ❤️ see you soon 😁.' She also brought Haitan rapper and singer, Wyclef Jean, out to sing 'Hips Don't Lie' for the crowd of 50,000 and counting. '@shakira thank you for the love #northcorolina @dnice the love is unmatched !!!' he wrote alongside a clip of their electric performance. The week before they hit the stage at Bank of America Stadium, the duo also celebrated 20 years of their chart-topping track with a special performance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The rest of her tour continues with stops in East Rutherford, Miami, and Inglewood, among other major cities.
