Susan Sarandon, 77, US actress, has apologized for her statements at a pro-Palestinian demonstration in New York in mid-November. The Oscar winner wrote on Instagram that her choice of words at the demonstration on November 17th was a “terrible mistake.” At the time, she said that Jews – the target of increasing anti-Semitic hatred – were “getting a taste of what it is like to be Muslim in this country, who are so often subjected to violence.” She deeply regrets that she has thereby negated the long history of Jewish persecution and the experiences of Jewish people with religious violence and discrimination, which continue to this day. Her intention was to “show solidarity in the fight against all kinds of fanaticism” and she is sorry that she failed in this. After the statements at the demonstration, the Hollywood agency United Talent Agency, which had represented the actress since 2014, parted ways with her.
Travis Scott, 32, rapper, sets surprising fashion accents. The American walked through the streets of Tribeca in New York on Friday wearing an old Borussia Mönchengladbach training top. It is not known how he got the vintage piece of jewelry. The outfit dates from the 2009/2010 season and probably once belonged to one of the club’s youth players. In any case, the version with the imprint of the youth sponsor Santander was never available for general sale.
Wigald Boning, 56, bathing expert, is prepared for possible fines. The comedian, who has been swimming in a river, lake, pool or pond every day for more than 500 days, says he always has money with him to pay a fine. “I normally stick to bathing bans – if they make sense to me. But I always have 50 euros with me and hope that the fine doesn’t exceed that amount,” said Boning Free Press. Boning came up with the idea of swimming after he moved with his family to Herrsching on Lake Ammersee. He was also bothered by his calcified shoulder: “I had already undergone various therapies without success and now thought: try swimming.” With success. “I swam my way to health, says my doctor.”

Heike Makatsch, 52, actress, still makes old companions from the former music station Viva rave. Nilz Bokelberg told the German Press Agency about his former presenter colleague in the 1990s that he was already impressed by how she forgot the camera from day one and was authentic. The 47-year-old added: “And when I see Heike’s old moderations today, I still think: Fuck my ass, that’s really such a natural talent!” You have to acknowledge that without envy, “she really has it in her genes.”
