Ukrainian Model Joins Kelly Rowland in Criticizing Cannes Security Guard What is in the water at Cannes this year? Another Cannes attendee has called out the same security guard that Kelly Rowland had to put on blast last week. This time it's Ukrainian model, Sawa Pontyjska, better known as Miss Europe of 2023. Well, she shared a clip where she ended up in a bear hug by security. It's unclear what led up to that confrontation, but Kelly Rowland is racking up allies in the south of France, and another South Korean actress is now the third woman to get into it with the same Cannes Film Festival security guard that Kelly had to chew out. Maybe they need to put that guard out. Steph and Ayesha Curry Welcome Son Caius Chai, Born Early on May 11 Steph and Ayesha Curry's newest bundle of joy has arrived a bit early: a son, named Caius Chai. They announced the joyous news jointly on Instagram on Sunday, and the couple revealed that their newest addition came into the world on May 11. Steph said their sweet baby boy decided to make an early arrival. He's doing great, and the family is settling in at home. Wow, a family of six. They are just the cutest little family. Congratulations to all. Mike Tyson Suffers Ulcer Flare-Up During Cross-Country Flight, Plans to Fight in July Mike Tyson is recovering from an ulcer flare-up that he suffered while flying cross country. It was so bad, the airline staff had to put out the call for any medical professionals on the plane to come forward. But Mike does seem to be okay, and he still plans on that fight in July. Oh, I don't know if that's a good idea. NBA Legend Bill Walton Passes Away After Battle with Cancer We have lost an NBA legend, Bill Walton, who delighted fans for decades on and off the court and in the commentary booth, has died. Tributes for Bill are pouring in from all over the world. Former President Barack Obama even posted in his honor, remembering Bill as a grinder on the court and for his wonderful spirit off it. The NBA did put out a press release Monday morning announcing the sad news. Bill passed away after a prolonged battle with cancer. He was surrounded by family when he passed. And I know he will be missed. Sean Kingston's Mother Released on Bail After Fraud and Theft Charges I previously reported that Sean Kingston's mother, Janice Turner, had been arrested in her son's Miami home. Well, Memorial Day brought some fresh air. After spending four days behind bars, she bailed out following her arrest in that raid. Now, according to court records, the 61 year old is facing eight charges, including conducting an organized scheme to defraud, grand theft, and identity theft. After her bail hearing on Friday, she did have to post $160,000 bond to secure her release. I don't know what's going on down there, but I sure hope they work this one out.

Netflix to Air 50 Cent's Docuseries on Diddy Amid Sexual Assault Lawsuits 50 Cent is getting his revenge on his long-time rival Sean 'Diddy' Combs. He just had a bidding war with several streamers to air the docuseries he's producing on Diddy and his sexual assault lawsuits. I'm told 50 has been working on this series since Cassie Ventura first filed her lawsuit against Diddy last year. I also hear he has paid good money for the folks you will see in the doc to tell their stories about Diddy. Well, Netflix won the bidding war, so I'm sure it's coming to a screen near you very soon. Stay tuned, you know everybody's gonna be watching this one. SWAT Team Raids Sean Kingston's Florida Home; Mother Arrested on Fraud Charges SWAT team members raided singer and rapper Sean Kingston's Florida home and arrested his mother. Kingston's 61-year-old mother, Janice Turner, was taken into custody on numerous fraud and theft charges. Now, this lawsuit, obtained by a local TV station, reveals a company by the name of Ver Ver Entertainment is accusing Kingston of using his celebrity status to scam companies. Dennis Card, who is an attorney for Ver Ver and was standing outside of the home during the raid, told a local TV station that Sean puts on a big show. "This is a rental house, he doesn't even own it. And he lures people using his celebrity into having them release things without having him pay for it and then he simply never pays," said Card. Well, okay, but my question is, if it's Sean that's scamming people, why did they arrest his mother? Something smells a little bit like dead fish. Kelly Rowland Clashes with Security Guard on Cannes Red Carpet The red carpet is always a place for memorable moments. You know I know that one. But Kelly Rowland's made headlines as she appeared to furiously scold a security guard while walking the red carpet earlier this week at Cannes. The Destiny's Child singer was attending the premiere of the French film "Marcello Mio". When she launched a verbal tirade against this guard. Apparently it had something to do with him being disrespectful in trying to to escort her in or out of the building. Mmm, I don't blame her. Learn more about your ad choices.

Abigail Shrier, a Wall Street Journal writer, does something simple yet devastating: she rigorously lays out the facts." —Janice Turner, The Times of London   Until just a few years ago, gender dysphoria—severe discomfort in one’s biological sex—was vanishingly rare. It was typically found in less than .01 percent of the population, emerged in early childhood, and afflicted males almost exclusively.   But today whole groups of female friends in colleges, high schools, and even middle schools across the country are coming out as “transgender.” These are girls who had never experienced any discomfort in their biological sex until they heard a coming-out story from a speaker at a school assembly or discovered the internet community of trans “influencers.”   Unsuspecting parents are awakening to find their daughters in thrall to hip trans YouTube stars and “gender-affirming” educators and therapists who push life-changing interventions on young girls—including medically unnecessary double mastectomies and puberty blockers that can cause permanent infertility.   Abigail Shrier, a writer for the Wall Street Journal, has dug deep into the trans epidemic, talking to the girls, their agonized parents, and the counselors and doctors who enable gender transitions, as well as to “detransitioners”—young women who bitterly regret what they have done to themselves.   Coming out as transgender immediately boosts these girls’ social status, Shrier finds, but once they take the first steps of transition, it is not easy to walk back. She offers urgently needed advice about how parents can protect their daughters.   A generation of girls is at risk. Abigail Shrier’s essential book will help you understand what the trans craze is and how you can inoculate your child against it—or how to retrieve her from this dangerous path.

Janice Turner recently wrote a sweet, sensitive article about packing up the contents of her parent’s house. “The experience was almost unbearable,” she began. Among the items passed down from the attic, “my entire childhood,” were a heavy sledge, Twinkle and Jackie annuals, “and a heavy trunk of 60 Enid Blytons.” 60 Enid Blytons - imagine that! Janice Turner aka @victoriapeckham and winner of press interviewer of the year, is nominating Enid Blyton in a programme filled scandal, racism and lovely archive. Blyton was rejected in 2019 from a commemorative coin because of the controversy that continues to swirl around her work .... which include The Famous Five, the Secret Seven, and 24 books about Noddy. The programme includes the biographer Nadia Cohen, the presenter Matthew Parris, and the producer Miles Warde.

Grab Sensor Ghosts on May 28 on Kickstarter, and if you want a piece of Assembly plus expansions, grab the whole set! Thanks to Janice for coming on to talk and thank you for listening! http://mfgcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Episode_232_Final.mp3

Grumpy Cat has died and we came last (again) in Eurovision. This week Dolly's down a Doris Day content-hole and Pandora's bewitched by the Instagram account @90sanxiety.We discuss Alabama's new abortion ban - the most restrictive in the States - voted in by 25 white men and reflect on the ongoing battle for agency in Northern Ireland, which sees 28 women travel to England every single day, for an abortion. Donate here to Abortion Support Network - https://donate.asn.org.uk/gb-en/donateAnd we debate Uber's new 'silence mode' - whereby you will be able to silence your driver. A practical solution for when you need a bit of quiet; or a worrying indicator of our inability to entertain ad hoc conversation?

Iain and Jamie are delighted to welcome home their space based roving reporter Janice Turner from Wren Games. The crew cover legal rustling on the Great Western Trail, companies producing less games and Aliens returning to the tabletop.

*** PLEASE NOTE: This episode was recorded about 8 hours before it was announced that Shamima Begum had been denied entry back to the UK and was stripped of her British citizenship.***This week, we discuss the most flammable news story of the week: the return of Shamima Begum, the 19 year old Londoner who fled to the Islamic State 4 years ago and returned to have her 3rd baby in the UK. Home Secretary Sajid Javid wants to deny her entry - but should a humane society seek to rehabilitate? We also discuss the idea that “young women do not know their own minds” and why vulnerability does not negate agency. Also this week, we discuss the allegations against singer-songwriter Ryan Adams, and why the ‘tortured artist' trope is tired and misogynistic. Plus, Jenna Coleman's interview gone viral, creepy finger grapes and Dolly's favourite new musical.I Met Fear On A Hill, by Leslie Jamison for The Paris Review https://www.theparisreview.org/letters-essays/7318/i-met-fear-on-the-hill-leslie-jamisonIn Search of Equilibrium, by Theresa Lola http://ninearchespress.com/publications/poetry-collections/in%20search%20of%20equilibrium.htmlThe Sisterhood, by Daisy Buchanan https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-sisterhood/daisy-buchanan/9781472238856Roma, on Netflix now The possibility of redemption is central to a humane society, by Kenan Malik for The Observer https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/feb/17/possibility-of-redemption-is-central-to-a-humane-society-shamima-begumShamima doesn't look like anyone's victim, by Janice Turner for The Times https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/shamima-doesn-t-look-like-anyone-s-victim-whtkc9qlnAnthony Lloyd discusses Shamima Begum https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/article/shamima-begum-isis-brideShamima Begum interview with Quentin Sommerville for BBC News https://youtu.be/TGAxm6KJTWEA Love Letter to realism in a time of grief: https://www.ted.com/talks/mark_pollock_and_simone_george_a_love_letter_to_realism_in_a_time_of_grief?language=enRosita Boland's investigative piece on Ann Lovett's boyfriend Richard McDonnell for The Irish Times: https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/people/i-was-ann-lovett-s-boyfriend-1.3484311?mode=amp Daisy Jones and The Six, by Taylor Jenkins Reid: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Daisy-Jones-Taylor-Jenkins-Reid/dp/1786331519/ref=nodl_ Anna Leszkiewicz on Johnny Depp for The New Statesman: https://www.newstatesman.com/culture/film/2018/10/johnny-depp-gq-cover-domestic-abuse-allegationsLaura Snapes on Ryan Adams for The...

Hello October! It's Dolly's favourite month of the year. If she were reincarnated, says Pandora, it would be as a knee-high boot. This week we discuss MeToo's infighting - as Asia Argento unveils a new bloody dagger tattoo aimed at Rose McGowan; Pret's tragic error and the 14 allergens that all foodstuffs should be labelled with; and why the Nobel peace prize should be taken away from Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi despite the organisation's novel explanation as to why it hasn't. Masses of recommendations from us both, including Lily Allen's memoir, the film Tully, a beautiful piece on grief by Alice Edwards, and a series of accounts on what it was really like to work for Harvey Weinstein, in The Guardian magazine. Are NDAs protecting the wrong people? We couldn't *not* talk about Brett Kavanaugh - the Republican judge who looks set to enter the Supreme Court, the highest law-making body in the USA, despite the accusation of sexual assault lodged against him by Dr Christine Ford. Do men (and women) of a certain age - and political view - still subscribe to the belief “that if it isn't rape, it doesn't count”? And are we surprised that Trump is still endorsing Kavanaugh?Also this week, we discuss a brilliant piece by the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan magazine, Farrah Storr, for The Times Magazine - about why women can't (and maybe don't want) it all. Dolly and I talk about the ‘splintered woman' (domestic, professional, sexual) and get personal on the subconscious pressure to have it all; why we don't have it all; and why having different things, at different times, is actually even better.

The POTUS hit the UK for his week of ridicule: the balloon; the march; the press conference and *that* video gone viral of Trump barging in front of the Queen. Meanwhile, Dolly discovers a new music hero (David Keenan) and Pandora reads her first ‘work-help' book (The Discomfort Zone by Farrah Storr.) Oh, and Love Island fans: Undercover Lover is your new favourite podcast. You're welcome. Today we are honoured to host Yomi Adegoke & Elizabeth Uviebinené, the writers of Slay In Your Lane: The Black Girl Bible. A meticulously researched and brilliantly written deep-dive into what it is to be a young black woman in the UK, the book prompted a 9-way publishing war and is stuffed full of interviews with famous black women including Olympic athlete Denise Lewis, barrister and author Afua Hirsch and former pop star Jamelia. We discuss microaggressions and microinvalidations; the ‘white co-sign'; being racially palatable; why representation and sponsorship is so important (just 0.49% of university professors are black women); why black women are swiped left more than any other ethnic group on Tinder; and how Rihanna changed the black beauty industry.

In this episode, Cathy talks about the games she·s played recently, and she interviews Janice Turner of Wren Games about her new game, Assembly, and winning the first ever Jelly Bean Games Scholarship for Game Designers.

Richard is joined by Janice Turner of Wren Games to chat about their very successful Kickstarter Assembly. So we chat about how her and Stu got started in the hobby, making your first game, dealing with childcare at the UKGE and how you deal with stretch goals when you weren't expecting to be so successful. It's a fun chat and Janice is a brilliant guest and I hope you enjoy it. Remember to check out Assembly in the links below.

This week, we discuss why Ireland's proposed repeal of the 8th amendment on 25th May, is so important. We learn about Ireland's history (from the brutal 'symphysiotomy' procedure, to the abuse of unmarried mothers in mother and baby homes like Bon Secours) and talk to Irish writer, Caroline O'Donoghue about what pro-choice campaigners learned from Brexit's liberal echo chamber.And of COURSE, we discuss the royal wedding. From the funny bits (he-llo Bishop Michael Curry) to the starry bits (Oprah, hashtag kween); the cringe bits (hi Suits cast on Instagram) to the emo bits (Harry thanking his “pa”); and, of course, the socio-political bits (is this the first time the media has used the term ‘bi-racial'? And why is that so meaningful?) we cover it all.We'll be doing a *live* episode of The High Low at the Möet & Chandon summer house in London on the 8th June, and you can sign up here > www.moetsummerhouse.comLinks for this week's showJustice for Noura Change.Org petition https://www.change.org/p/justice-for-noura-maritalrape-deathsentence-sudanThe Let Down, on Netflix https://www.netflix.com/title/80198635The Scarlett Letter Reports, hosted by Amanda Knox for Broadly https://www.facebook.com/TheScarletLetterReports/The Real Housewives of Cheshire, on ITVBe https://www.itv.com/hub/the-real-housewives-of-cheshire/2a3398 Euthanasia: one family's story, by Mark Smith for The Times Magazine https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/euthanasia-one-familys-story-3jl83tgbrThis Is Ireland - a short documentary on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hB7Ifu4nl0UAbortion: Ireland's last taboo by Janice Turner for The Times: https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/abortion-irelands-last-taboo-mbgh7c79mElaine Welteroth on the media's embrace of the term, ‘bi-racial' https://www.instagram.com/p/Bi-0XssloBl/?hl=en&taken-by=elainewelterothPrince Harry and Meghan Markle are the first woke royals, by India Knight for The Sunday Times Magazine https://www.thetimes.co.uk/magazine/the-sunday-times-magazine/prince-harry-and-meghan-markle-are-the-first-woke-royals-this-was-a-royal-wedding-for-everyone-8d0g2xzpgReads Like A Four podcast: https://www.acast.com/readslikeafour A Very English Scandal on BBC iPlayer: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p065sk93 Tig Notaro on Fresh Air:

Transgender rights have gone from a minor issue to becoming the cultural battlefield of the past few years, with major gains made by the transgender lobby in terms of law, educational policy, media coverage and celebrity endorsement. How has the transgender lobby been so successful in changing public opinion and the voices against transgenderism so unsuccessful in holding back this cultural change?

After some disruption to the schedule (namely two live recordings in a row and an author special, whilst Dolly's enjoyed monsoon season in Thailand and practiced wellness with a monk) The High Low is back in the Acast studio. And we've got tons (literally tons) of reading, listening and watching recs for you, from our sojourns away.This week we discuss Kevin Spacey's “I'm Gay” disclaimer, Netflix dropping him and whether or not you can separate the art from the artist. Will their legacy live on? Is the whole thing a hackneyed debate? And if Frank doesn't come back…. will Claire?Also today, we speak to a High Low listener about the difference between an arranged and a forced marriage, after the sad news story of Aasiya Bibi, the 21-year-od Pakistani girl who murdered 15 of her husband's family with poison, in her desperation to escape her forced marriage. It's our first official week with Google, our sexy new partner, and Dolly kickstarts our new ‘curiosity' segment with the Google Pixel 2, by asking Pandora what the meaning of love is. A nice gentle ease into the series, that. If you want to see the fruits of our new Google Pixel shoot, head on over to our Instagram's @pandorasykes @dollyalderton for a taster.

Sathnam Sanghera explores class. As the son of an illiterate factory worker who ended up going to Cambridge and working for The Times, he now regards himself as firmly middle class. In the first of his two programmes for One to One, he interviews Janice Turner, a fellow journalist from The Times, at her home in South London. She had a similar journey to Sathnam; she moved from working class Doncaster to the London media establishment, but she feels very differently about which class she belongs to. Producer: Perminder Khatkar.

Tim Montgomerie is joined by Richard Fletcher, Philip Aldrick and Janice Turner for a Budget special, plus a look at George Osborne the Chancellor and the man. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Continuing his quest for understanding, David Baddiel explores derivatives. What are they and how do they work? David begins by meeting journalist Janice Turner, who initially suggested the subject, and she explains why she believes we should all try to understand derivatives. Then David visits the London Metals Exchange, the last place with open outcry trading in London, where he discusses the history of derivatives with financial historian D'Maris Coffman. And on a trading floor at Canary Wharf he hears how the market works today. At the end, he returns to try to explain to Janice what he's learned, with D'Maris ready to pass judgement on his understanding. Producer: Giles Edwards.
