  • This is the beautiful Rhode Island estate where Jennifer Lawrence will wed art gallery director Cooke Maroney today (Saturday 19 October). Belcourt of Newport, as it is called today, was designed in 1894 by the renowned American architect Richard Morris Hunt and inspired by Louis XIII’s hunting lodge at Versailles. It is currently owned by Carolyn Rafaelian, CEO of Alex and Ani, who had the sprawling 40,000-square-foot estate restored in 2012. The property has changed hand several times over the year and used to be known as Belcourt Castle, before it was re-birthed under its current name. Back in the 1990s the property became the talk of the town on account of the raucous parties it hosted, including a ‘No Underwear Allowed’ theme where female guests had to stand over a mirror to prove they were abiding by the rules. After decades of little care, the once-derelict mansion started to offer ghost and murder mystery tours. Rhode Island native Ms Rafaelian purchased the property in 2012 for $3.6million and oversaw a year-long restoration, which included an exorcism of the property. Speaking to the New York Times in 2013, Ms Rafaelian said: ‘There were energies and entities, some not pleasant. ‘I had a shaman perform ceremonies. We did a major cleansing, energy-wise. There was a lot.’ Today, 29-year-old actress Lawrence is set to exchange vows with Maroney, 34, at the historic venue, with 150 guests expected to attend. And an extravagant menu, complete with an array of hors d’oeuvres and many dessert options, including s’mores, is set to be served up. 19 Oct 2019 Pictured: CAPTION: Belcourt of Newport, the historic and lovingly-restored 1894 estate in Rhode Island where Jennifer Lawrence is set to wed Cooke Maroney on Saturday 19 October, 2019.

  • International animal protection organisation Animal Equality has launched a worldwide campaign and petition calling on the United Nations to immediately close wet markets across the globe. The so-called wet markets - which get their name in part from the blood, guts, scales and water that soak the stalls’ floors as meat is freshly killed for customers - have been blamed for the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, in China. They have now released these images, which were captured by Animal Equality at wet markets in China, Vietnam and India from 2013 onwards in a bid to show the conditions there. They say they show animals such as deer, raccoons, crocodiles, cats and dogs living in filthy conditions, suffering from dehydration, starvation and disease. Abigail Penny, Executive Director of Animal Equality UK said: “Wet markets are filthy, nightmarish places. The overwhelming fear that these poor animals suffer is unimaginable. Time and time again wet markets have been the source of dangerous viruses – they are a major threat to human health, there’s no doubt about it.” She added: “It’s not enough to close them temporarily, wet markets need to go once and for all. We simply cannot risk another disease outbreak. That’s why we’re urging the public to join our campaign today, calling on the United Nations to act now and ban wet markets globally.” The group is calling on supporters to sign their petition in support of the ban here - animalequality.org.uk/act/ban-wet-markets Editorial use only Mandatory credit - Animal Equality UK / MEGA. 02 Apr 2020 Pictured: A wet market in Pune, India - shot in 2016.

  • International animal protection organisation Animal Equality has launched a worldwide campaign and petition calling on the United Nations to immediately close wet markets across the globe. The so-called wet markets - which get their name in part from the blood, guts, scales and water that soak the stalls’ floors as meat is freshly killed for customers - have been blamed for the coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, in China. They have now released these images, which were captured by Animal Equality at wet markets in China, Vietnam and India from 2013 onwards in a bid to show the conditions there. They say they show animals such as deer, raccoons, crocodiles, cats and dogs living in filthy conditions, suffering from dehydration, starvation and disease. Abigail Penny, Executive Director of Animal Equality UK said: “Wet markets are filthy, nightmarish places. The overwhelming fear that these poor animals suffer is unimaginable. Time and time again wet markets have been the source of dangerous viruses – they are a major threat to human health, there’s no doubt about it.” She added: “It’s not enough to close them temporarily, wet markets need to go once and for all.

We simply cannot risk another disease outbreak. That’s why we’re urging the public to join our campaign today, calling on the United Nations to act now and ban wet markets globally.” The group is calling on supporters to sign their petition in support of the ban here - animalequality.org.uk/act/ban-wet-markets Editorial use only Mandatory credit - Animal Equality UK / MEGA. 02 Apr 2020 Pictured: A wet market in Vietnam - shot in 2020.

Time and time again wet markets have been the source of dangerous viruses – they are a major threat to human health, there’s no doubt about it.” She added: “It’s not enough to close them temporarily, wet markets need to go once and for all. We simply cannot risk another disease outbreak. That’s why we’re urging the public to join our campaign today, calling on the United Nations to act now and ban wet markets globally.” The group is calling on supporters to sign their petition in support of the ban here - animalequality.org.uk/act/ban-wet-markets Editorial use only Mandatory credit - Animal Equality UK / MEGA. 02 Apr 2020 Pictured: A wet market in Wuhan - shot in 2013.

  • Oct 07, 2009 - London, England, UK - 'I will never forgive Polanski. I'm telling the truth and Roman knows it': Actress Charlotte Lewis claims she was abused by director when she was 16 It has been a long time since Charlotte Lewis held a crowd enthralled in Hollywood.  But if she ever dreamed of a return to Los Angeles, where as a young actress she was hailed as a 'golden child' Ð talented, exquisitely beautiful and with a film career unfurling before her Ð it would never have been like this. On Friday, Charlotte, now 42, called a Press conference in Los Angeles to claim that director Roman Polanski, the man who gave her her first break, had abused her, 'in the worst possible way' when she was just 16 years old. Polanski is currently under house arrest in Gstaad in Switzerland under threat of extradition to America to face charges of an alleged rape of a 13-year-old in 1977. His alleged victim, Samantha Geimer, has said she has no desire to see him stand trial as she simply wants to get on with the life she subsequently built. But 27 years after their first meeting, Charlotte feels very differently. She wants him to 'get what he deserves', she says and has given a statement to prosecutors in Los Angeles. Now, in an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday, Charlotte explains why she has chosen to speak up now Ð against not just Polanski, but against  Hollywood itself She says: 'I know I should have gone to the relevant authorities at the time but I was scared and ashamed. I somehow thought it was my fault. 'I've been so angry with some of the people in Hollywood who have spoken out in support of Polanski. He has scarred me and the experience has definitely put a strain on my life. Photo Shows: Actress Charlotte Lewis, as she is today, (Credit Image: © Whitehotpix/ZUMApress.com)

  • EXCLUSIVE: SHOCKING IMAGES OF CAPE TOWN’S BONE-DRY DAM WHERE ONCE LOCALS USED TO GO BOATING AND WATER SKIING WITH PIX By Magnus News Agency Shocking images show a bone-dry desert where once boats used to sail on a reservoir as drought continues to ravage South Africa. Theewaterskloof Dam once hosted yacht clubs and water skiing but today not even one vessel could be launched on the parched space. Photographer Dirk Theron visited the starved body of water last week and took these frightening images of the dried-up lake which should supply 40 percent of the water to Cape Town’s four million residents. As Dirk’s pictures show, skeletons of fish and muddy pools are much of what remains of the former 480 million cubic metre capacity site. Last week billionaire former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg toured Theewaterskloof as part of his role as UN special Envoy for Climate Action. He warned the reservoir and draught across the Western Cape should act as a wake-up call for the international community on climate change. Despite the drought, which has struck the area for the past few years, government officials in South Africa have been criticised for their handling of the crisis. A ‘Day Zero’ when municipal taps would be turned off has been pushed back from June 4 to July 9 despite chronic shortages continuing. South African Dirk lives just 30 minutes from Theewaterskloof, but said he was stunned by what he found there. He said: “Theewaterskloof dam is one of those places where everybody has a boat and people would go there for the weekend. “A friend of mine used to be a member of the Theewaters sports club, we used to go there all the time water skiing and playing on the water in his boat. “This was a massive, massive body of water. It’s been a few years since last I’ve been there but when I saw it I was shocked to my core. “We all know about the water crisis but standing there and seeing it with your own eyes is so surreal. “I stood on dry ground

  • July 4, 2017 - Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan - Naoki Hyakuta, Author and Screenwriter gives a response to questions during a press conference at The Foreign Correspondent Club Of Japan ( FCCJ ) in Tokyo. Hyakuta is one of Japan's most popular and controversial novelists. A television screenwriter for many years, he found fame with his 2006 novel Eternal Zero, which was made into an award-winning film in 2013. The film, in particular, divided audiences. Some found it a deeply moving tale of World War II fighter pilots; others regarded it as a glorification of kamikaze suicide attacks. In early June, the author Naoki Hyakuta was scheduled to give a speech at Hitotsubashi University on ''The State of the Mass Media in Today's Society''. But following a campaign by a campus group that accuses Hyakuta of racism, his appearance was cancelled. A prolific writer, Hyakuta's recent novels include The Man They Called Pirate and The Paradise of Frogs. In 2013, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe appointed him a governor of public broadcaster NHK. He served in that capacity until 2015. Hyakuta is frequently in the news over controversial remarks about history, politics and the media. (Credit Image: © Alessandro Di Ciommo via ZUMA Wire)

  • EXCLUSIVE: MEGHAN Markle's mum rocks the 70s look, sporting trendy flares and a natural Afro hair style as a schoolgirl. These are the first photos of Prince Harry's likely future mother-in-law Doria Ragland as a young woman and she bears a striking resemblance to her superstar daughter. Doria met Harry at the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games in Toronto last month where she was photographed in a private box with the happy couple demonstrating how serious he and Meghan's relationship has become. Seen here as a 16-year-old schoolgirl at Fairfax High School in Los Angeles, Doria was pictured in her 1972 school yearbook photo as well as snaps with the Girl's Athletic Association and another club called APEX. Nine years later she would give birth to Meghan, now 36, who went on to become a successful actress in US legal drama Suits and the glamorous American girlfriend who many think Harry will marry. Speaking about her parents Meghan once said: "I like to think he was drawn to her sweet eyes and her Afro, plus their shared love of antiques... whatever it was they married and had me". Fairfax High's close proximity to Hollywood has led to a glittering alumni list which including actors Mickey Rooney, Ricardo Montalbam, Mila Kunis, Demi Moore and David Arquette. Famous musicians who went there include Flea from Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Slash from Guns and Roses and Jackie and Tito Jackson from the Jackson Five. After school Doria went on to work in the film industry herself as a make-up artist which is how she met Meghan's dad, Thomas Markle, a Hollywood lighting director. At 61, Doria is five years older than Harry's mother Princess Diana would have been if she was still alive today. However her teenage days in 1970s LA were a world away from the stuffy British aristocracy Diana grew up in. Meghan's dad is also seen here as a young man for the first time in a snap from his 1962 school yearbook. The photo shows Tom aged 18, posing in his senior year at Newport Junior-
