Thomas Huber, 56, extreme climber, has a new dog. After the loss of his mountain dog Cerro, little Torre now accompanies him. “He will continue the story of my Cerro,” Huber wrote on Instagram. When the dog was run over not far from Huber’s house in Berchtesgaden earlier this year, the climber was deeply shocked. “He was a little star, my little star,” he said at the time about Cerro (photo), named after Cerro Torre, a 3000m peak in Patagonia. After Cerro’s death, Huber posted little on social media. “I only shared the essentials,” he wrote. “I needed time to process the loss.”
Chrissie Hynde, 71, singer, has found her attitude towards aging. “I don’t mind getting older,” said the band’s frontwoman The Pretenders (“Don’t Get Me Wrong”) of the British Sunday newspaper The Observer. “But I mind getting uglier. Come on, there’s only one thing we know is going to happen to us for sure.” She’s not naturally one to worry a lot, and a lot of things about getting older are great. She doesn’t think she knows many things now that she didn’t know when she was 16. “But there is a big difference between knowing and understanding. It sometimes takes 50 years to understand something,” said the musician.
Lisa and Lena Mantler, 21, Internet twins, want to go their separate ways in social networks in the future. In a joint video that commented on the accounts of the two thousands on Instagram until Saturday noon, they explained their decision. Lisa said, “We knew we weren’t going to work together for the rest of our lives. Now it’s just time we each go our separate ways.” Lena added: “Of course it’s a bit sad, but we haven’t made the typical Lisa and Lena videos for a long time.” The twins are among the most successful German stars on Instagram and Tiktok.
Gary Lineker, 62, ex-soccer player and BBC presenter, wonders how some debates are conducted. “I don’t think most people like this nonsense of yelling at people from the other side,” he told the British newspaper telegraph. Most of the people in the country are friendly people who don’t want to get involved in something like that, but are fed drops of meanness. Lineker criticized British refugee policy in March and got into some trouble for it. At the time, he tweeted that Interior Secretary Suella Braverman’s rhetoric was “not dissimilar to the language of 1930s Germany.” The BBC suspended the moderator – but had to row back when numerous commentators and the Premier League showed solidarity with Lineker.
