So many sequences in Emily in Paris Season 3 are absurd, but Ashley Park’s rendition of “Shallow” from A Star Is Born in French is absolute beauty.

In Episode 5, “Ooo La La Liste,” Mindy (Rosalind Park) and her boyfriend Benoit (Kevin Dias) perform a passionate duet. However, prior to their performance, they have a heated dispute in their dressing room that creates a gloomy atmosphere. Benoit feels intimidated when Mindy’s new boyfriend, Nicolas de Leon (Paul Forman), brings her flowers before the show, so Mindy warns him that they may not have a future together.

The subsequent performance is an emotionally packed masterpiece that would have Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga trembling. With Park on piano and Dias on guitar, the two exchange smoldering glances throughout the song. Towards the end, Mindy makes the audacious decision to steal the spotlight by overpowering Benoit’s vocals; Benoit then leaves Mindy on stage to a standing ovation.

When asked what it was like to sing such a popular song in French for the show, Ashley Park told Decider that she was initially “very scared” by the song. “Just because we can’t get the singer’s voice out of our heads doesn’t mean you should do an impression,” she added through Zoom. “I was ecstatic that the sequence arrived in such a story-driven location, and I felt that it advanced precisely what the characters were experiencing. I believe the preceding scene is an excellent springboard for it.”

In addition to the stress associated with the song selection, Park faced another significant obstacle before to filming the sequence. She added, “Until a few days ago, I believed we were singing it in English.” Press materials for Emily in Paris indicate that Park had only around 12 hours to memorize the translated lyrics before recording the song, and she told Decider thought the original version was hilarious.

“Therefore, I had to learn it in French, and I believe they initially liked a Google Translate version of it. Later, I’ll play you the song’s original lyrics, which I believe had the phrase “my daughter” instead of “my girl.” It was so hilarious,” she told Lily Collins and Camille Razat, who were also on the call.

“Me and Kevin Dias, along with our music producer Will Wells and music supervisor Brienne Rose, put in a lot of effort to make it sound as passionately gutteral as possible. “I’m quite delighted with how it turned out,” Park remarked.

The third season of Emily in Paris is replete with outstanding musical performances by Park, who sings everything from “Smile” by Nat King Cole to “Don’t Start Now” by Dua Lipa. Even Lily Collins gets an unexpected musical moment in Episode 2, but “Shallow” is without a doubt the season’s best song.

The third season of Emily in Paris is now available on Netflix.

The NBA has adopted Christmas as their holiday, just like the NFL and college football do with Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day, respectively. It is the largest stage for the most prominent stars.

On Sunday, the Nets are glaringly absent from the schedule. Certainly, the players will appreciate some time off and the opportunity to spend the holiday with their family. But don’t assume that they wouldn’t appreciate the opportunity to perform before a national or worldwide Christmas Day audience even more.

Nets coach Jacque Vaughn told The Post, “It’s still amazing to play on Christmas.” “I would enjoy being off and watching the games, but if I had an option, we would be playing. … You desire to play over the holiday season. Everyone is following the top 10 teams, and you want to be among them.”

The Nets will be in flight rather than playing.

Friday night at Barclays Center, the Nets defeated the 2021 champion Bucks by a score of 118-100. On Monday night, the Nets will travel to Cleveland to face the surging Cavaliers.

But Sunday? Despite having stars such as Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and Ben Simmons, the Nets will not be among the 10 teams participating.

Nets coach Jacque Vaughn stated, “If I had an option, we’d be playing on Christmas” (left).
The phrase Corey Sipkin

Ironically, this is true both because of and despite their biggest celebrity.

“Yeah, I’m probably to blame for us not planning on Christmas because of what happened this summer,” Durant admitted this week. “Nevertheless, it is what it is. “Our match on the 26th is near enough.”

What occurred was a euphemism for Kevin Durant’s trade request, which overshadowed the Las Vegas Summer League, halted league transactions, and threatened to dismantle the title contender that Sean Marks had painstakingly created in Brooklyn. When the agreement fell through, Durant attempted to dismiss Marks and then-coach Steve Nash.

Given this upheaval, Irving’s contract impasse, and the uncertainty surrounding Simmons’ mental health and surgically repaired back, it is simple to understand why NBA schedule makers opted not to book the Nets on Christmas Day. They could not have predicted the current turnaround.

Durant: Knicks vs. Nets would have packed a punch
Kevin Durant argued for a future Christmas matchup between the Nets and Knicks, as both teams have moved into playoff position.

No club in the NBA has been hotter than the Nets, who have won 12 of their last 13 games, including a league-best eight-game winning streak, to climb to fourth place in the Eastern Conference.

With their Big Three, the Nets fit the mold of a club that would typically play on Christmas. And one of these celebrities believes he knows what the ideal holiday pairing would have been.

“Knicks-Nets would have made for a fantastic Christmas Day showdown,” remarked Durant. “Given how the Knicks are playing and how we are playing right now, I believe that would be the ideal Christmas game. We hope to obtain that going forward.”

On Christmas, the Nets have defeated three teams, including the Knicks (the Celtics and the Lakers last year are the others). They have played on December 25 a total of 12 times, 11 times in the NBA and once in the old ABA, and have a record of 6-6.

How the Nets spend their vacation time

This year, instead of adding to that number, they will have Christmas Eve and Christmas Day off from practicing or playing, allowing them to relax with their families throughout the holidays.

Simply be with my girlfriend and my pets, Simmons told The Post. “That concludes it. No concrete plans”

Yuta Watanabe will have to settle for FaceTime chats throughout the holidays with his family in Japan, where New Year’s is more significant than Christmas.

The 26-year-old Australian is separated from the rest of his family by half the globe. After attending Montverde Academy in Florida and LSU in the United States for high school and college, he has become accustomed to not seeing them on Christmas. This is a sacrifice he is willing to make, but he would rather be playing on Sunday.

Simmons told The Post, “I love my job, so being away from my family is inevitable.” “The opportunities to play on Christmas Day are enormous. I used to watch the Christmas Day games as a child, so it’s a lot of fun.”

Australian veteran guard Patty Mills stated that he did not have any expensive plans. Nor does the reserve point guard Edmond Sumner.

“However, our [Sunday evening] flight is delayed, so I get to relax at home,” Sumner told the Post. “It will be nice to be able to unwind. I won’t be able to see my [extended] family, so I’ll just hang out with my wife.”

For some, their family will visit them.

Joe Harris is from the state of Washington, but his fiancee’s parents will fly up from Florida, he said.

The NBA schedule will reunite Nets veteran Markieff Morris with his twin brother Marcus, whose Clippers will play in their hometown of Philadelphia over the holiday weekend.

Nic Claxton, who was born in Greenville, S.C., and starred at the University of Georgia, also has family flying in from the South, including his parents and sister.

Claxton told The Post, “I’m just going to spend some time with them, have some home-cooked meals, and enjoy their company.”

North Philadelphia native Markieff Morris received a Christmas surprise from the schedule designers. His twin brother Marcus, who is seven minutes younger, plays for the Clippers, who faced the 76ers at Wells Fargo Center on Friday night. This made it possible for Morris to take a fast trip down the New Jersey Turnpike and for both siblings to spend the holiday weekend at their mother’s place.

Yuta Watanabe, a native of Kagawa, Japan, is one Nets player for whom Christmas isn’t a big deal. In his culture, New Year’s Eve through January 2 are far more significant.

“New Year is the most important holiday in Japan,” Watanabe told The Post. “We do celebrate Christmas, but it isn’t as grand. In Japan, Christmas is not a family affair. It caters more to couples. And then New Year’s is a family holiday, which is quite different.

“…I’ve been here for about a decade. That means I’ve missed the last decade’s worth of New Year’s family gatherings… However, I always FaceTime them. Talk to my grandmother, uncle, cousins, and, of course, my parents. So I will do it again this year.”

After an amazing maiden season at Chloorkop, Miche Minnies is eagerly anticipating the upcoming season with increased hunger and vigor.

The right-footed attacker who joined Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies from Vasco da Gama Ladies scored an astounding 23 goals across three competitions as the Tshwane giants retained their Hollywoodbets Super League title superbly and reached the final of both the 2022 COSAFA qualifiers and the 2022 CAF Women’s Champions League.

Minnies, who created an explosive attacking tandem with Boitumelo Rabale, is pleased with how she has integrated into Coach Jerry Tshabalala’s schemes.

“It is a great honor to play for Mamelodi Sundowns Ladies since it has given me the opportunity to play with a number of talented players. In addition, I am proud of the insightful advice I have received from some of the squad’s veteran players. “The chemistry I’ve developed with my fellow strikers in such a short period of time is extremely important to me,” Minnies said.

The 21-year-old scored on her debut as Sundowns Ladies defeated Ma-Indies Ladies 2-1 in the recently ended Hollywoodbets Super League match. In the second match versus Golden Ladies, Miche scored twice to help The Brazilians to an 11-0 triumph.

In the 10th round of the Hollywoodbets Super League, she scored all four goals in a 4-0 victory over First Touch Ladies, which was one of her most impressive performances of the year.

Minnies, who concluded the season with 22 league goals, two less than Rabale (24 goals), chose her best memories from her first year with the club.

“Since joining this distinguished club, I’ve experienced a number of lovely occasions. Four goals in a single game and reaching two continental finals are among the highlights of my rookie campaign. Although I am pleased with the number of goals I have scored, I was thrilled to contribute to the team’s overall achievement, which included the retention of the Hollywoodbets Super League. It brings me great satisfaction to aid my colleagues, as we are designed to fight for one another,” Michie continued.

The quick forward’s goals for the upcoming season include maintaining the team’s momentum: “Next season will be a huge one for us because we will be aiming to win every competition we enter. On a personal level, I hope to improve upon my performance in my first season and win additional championships with this amazing club. I hope to compete for a spot on the Sundowns Ladies squad because the level of quality is so high. “I am not satisfied with my past accomplishments, and I am eager to excel whenever I am asked to do so.”

Miche Minnies performed admirably in her debut season with Sundowns Ladies!!!

An Afghanistan veteran and his family have been rendered homeless and will spend Christmas in a Travelodge after a water tank ‘exploded’ and caused catastrophic damage to their military home.

When Corporal Glen Price and his wife Anna returned from their dream vacation to the Dominican Republic on Thursday, they found their home in ruins and all of their children’s gifts destroyed by flood water.

The boiler in the attic of a home in Farnborough, Hampshire burst, releasing hundreds of gallons of water into the bedrooms, resulting in the collapse of the ceilings and the destruction of electronics, flooring, and walls.

The couple and their two children, Amelia-Rose, 3, and Leonardo, 2, are the most recent military family to have their home destroyed by faulty water fittings that leaked following last week’s Arctic blast.

Anna wept as she told MailOnline, “We have lost everything.” Our only possessions are two suitcases containing our vacation attire.

Everything has been totally wrecked. All of the Christmas gifts for our children have been ruined… It is utterly devastation. We’re heartbroken.’

The couple is currently staying at a Travelodge in Aldershot, close to Keogh Barracks, where 22 Field Hospital is located and where Cpl Price, who served in Afghanistan in 2013, is stationed.

Anna, a mother of three, described their terrifying ordeal as follows: “We had just returned from our first family vacation. It was a long-awaited vacation that we had been saving for.

“When we returned home at 9:05 a.m., my husband discovered that everything was flooded.

Five inches of water inundated the ground floor. Everything was flooded, and all clothing and furniture was ruined. There is a large crack in the living room.

All painted walls have developed bubbles. Every crevice in the roof and walls is dripping with water.

It appears as though a water tank had exploded. It appears as though something detonated directly above the children’s bedroom. I don’t know what would have happened if we weren’t on vacation; the ceiling could have collapsed on them. It is awful.’

The family spent hundreds of pounds in the weeks leading up to Christmas on food and gifts, including Paw Patrol toys, cuddly dinosaurs, and a wooden play kitchen for the children.

Mrs. Price continued, “We purchased a wooden play kitchen for them.” They have been requesting it for years, and we have been saving for years to purchase it. With rising costs, it was challenging.

They are now left with nothing. All of their gifts have been destroyed.’

The military community quickly became aware of the Price family’s suffering, with neighbors offering food, clothing, and some toys.

Lieutenant Colonel John Greener, commanding officer of the 22nd Field Hospital, backed the commencement of a fund-raising effort.

Thursday evening, Lt. Col. Greener tweeted a request for support for the community drive, which garnered almost £1,500 in a single day.

In a tweet from 22 Field Hospital’s social media account, Lt Col lobbied the likes of Defence Secretary Ben Wallace and former defense minister Leo Docherty, MP for Aldershot, stating, “Please share widely and let’s dig deep for one of our warriors and their family.”

Veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan Mr. Docherty responded, “Thank you.” Please connect them with me; I’ll assist in any way I can.’

His administration has since contacted the Price family and offered to give basic necessities such as bedding and clothing.

Mrs. Price was “overwhelmed” by the outpouring of support for her cause.

All of my neighbors are sending me messages expressing a want to assist. They are providing meals and children’s toys.

“I am quite overwhelmed and moved by the attention shown in us by others.” It is the worst thing that can happen to a person when they lose everything they own.

The Defence Infrastructure Organisation possesses all military housing.

Private contractors Vivo Defence and Amey monitor repairs. While call handling is handled by another company, Pinnacle, which has a £144 million contract with the government, the government has a £144 million contract with Pinnacle.

In the past week, however, all three companies have come under criticism after complaints from military families around the country, with Mr. Wallace reprimanding them in a Tuesday meeting.

Since then, Mrs. Price has labeled all the companies as a “joke.” She asserts that she and her husband had concerns about their heater in April, when they initially moved into their home.

She stated that after numerous phone calls, the family’s concerns were ignored.

She continued, “When we came, the house was hazardous.” The ceiling lights were suspended by a single cable.

The ceiling was severely chipped. Each door was bent and posed a fire hazard. Since then, nobody has returned to fix the house. It’s a joke.’

She continued, “Many military families would appreciate being heard and listened to. So far it doesn’t appear like it’s getting anywhere.

“On Thursday, we went directly to Pinnacle. We made seven calls. Each time, we had to describe what transpired since they were unable to locate relevant material. They stated that someone can inspect the home.

We ended up spending hours in the automobile. My daughter’s temperature was 39 degrees, but we had nowhere to go.

A contract should not have been awarded to Pinnacle. They are manifestly unqualified to handle this.

Vivo responded to the damaged residence after being contacted by Pinnacle, according to a spokesperson.

The same day, we attended the property and halted the leak. Their home is unfortunately uninhabitable, so we and Pinnacle arranged for them to spend the night in a hotel, and the next day we relocated them into a temporary military residence. They will remain there while we perform the necessary extensive repairs.

It is highly improbable that this flooding issue is related to the central heating boiler, but we are doing a thorough study.

Every family we assist has a right to a high quality of care and the knowledge that their homes are maintained secure, warm, and safe. This is extremely important to us, and we are committed to resolving the recent problems encountered by some of the military families we help.’

Yesterday, the Royal Mail went on strike once more and ceased delivering letters and packages, prioritizing only special services.

Communication Workers Union (CWU) members went on strike for the seventeenth day, already costing the organization over £100 million.

As the walkouts continue today, it seems unlikely that last-minute cards and gifts will arrive in time for Christmas.

Despite “well-developed contingency preparations,” Royal Mail stated that it “cannot totally replace the daily efforts of its frontline personnel.”

Postal workers prioritize the pricier Special Delivery and Tracked 24 services, as well as Covid testing and prescription medication.

It advised that normal service for mail and packages will not resume until the first business day following the Christmas break.

The majority of post offices are anticipated to stay operational, while a few will be closed due to the CWU action.

However, mail left in mailboxes or post offices the day before, during, or after strike dates is likely to be delayed.

The general secretary of the CWU, Dave Ward, stated that the Royal Mail “was never serious about rescuing Christmas,” and that the union rejected their offer “hours after receiving it.”

A spokesperson for the postal service, however, stated that a “growing number of posties” were returning to work each strike day, indicating that support for the strike is waning.
