WWE legend Nikki Bella suffers horror breast implant injury in Monday Night RAW blunder
WWE legend Nikki Bella revealed she injured her breast implant on RAW. Bella, 41, competed in an Eight Woman Tag Team Match a week ago that saw her teaming up with IYO SKY, Rhea Ripley, and Stephanie Vaquer and beating Women's World Champion Naomi, Chelsea Green, Alba Fyre, and Piper Niven. 4 4 4 4 But a spot went horribly wrong during that match as British grappler Niven delivered an Elbow Drop that reportedly dislodged the two-time women's champion's implant. Bella said on her Nikki and Brie podcast: "We were just out there talking I was just like, 'Oh my God, I'm having so much fun'. "I didn't want the match to end. I was in a little bit of pain, but I didn't want it to end'." Bella's twin sister and fellow WWE legend Brie asked: "I mean, your implant okay? I think it's stuck in your ribs, but…" The WWE Hall of Famer responded: "I think it is. I had to go to the doctor yesterday to get my t** looked at. "I was just telling Brie, I'm having conversations with my shirt off and I'm thinking in my head, like, 'I didn't think I'd be here today on my day off in New York City getting my boob looked at, knowing that my implant I think has moved'. " And I'm like, 'Alright, it has moved'. It's moved. It's okay. We're going to get it fixed one day. "I told the doctor, I go, 'Newly divorced, so the minute the boots are hung up, I'm going to come back to you and we're going to make these girls look real good, because these girls are going to get some action in the future and that can't look like that'." Bella was surprised to find out how much attention her wrestling injury got. The ex-Divas Champion added: "I literally had told Brie all of this in private and when she said it live about my implant, I was like, 'Are you kidding me?' Stunning WWE legend Nikki Bella reveals she's joined celebrity dating app as it 'gets lonely in hotel rooms' "Then yesterday it was everywhere about my implant. I keep getting text messages, I was just backstage and everyone kept coming up, like, 'Is it okay?' "I'll know later. I don't know yet if it exploded or not. It still seems intact. It's swollen, it hurts, but I think it might be fine. "I can't believe I'm loudly talking about this, but hey, it's 2025, whatever. Send well wishes to my fake boob, thank you."

Nine star Danika Mason shows off her fit figure in activewear as she takes a run in Centennial Park - after blow to her long-distance romance with rugby player Liam Knight
Danika Mason was getting her sweat on as she took a run on Tuesday. The Channel Nine presenter stripped down into skin-tight activewear as she enjoyed a day out at Sydney 's Centennial Park. The 34-year-old paired a grey top with black leggings and sneakers, her toned midriff on display. She appeared to go makeup-free for the outing, pulling her brunette locks back in a ponytail. Danika ran with her headphones in, perhaps listening to music, before taking a phone call by her car. A sheen of sweat over her skin suggested she exerted some energy during the high-octane run. Danika and her boyfriend Liam Knight have been living apart from each other for the past five months. They could now be set to reside on opposite sides of the world for another year. Knight, who signed a deal to join Super League club Hull FC back in March, has now been rewarded for his excellent form at the start of the 2025 season with a 12-month contract extension. While it is exciting news for Knight, who moved to play for the British outfit ahead of the 2025 season, it means the couple will have to continue their long-distance relationship, with Mason based 17,000km away in Australia. Knight, who hails from Alice Springs, was released by the Canterbury Bulldogs last year, after playing just two matches for the club during the 2024 season. But since his arrival at Hull FC, Knight has impressed, making 10 appearances for the club, and had initially planned to spend around seven months in the United Kingdom. The 30-year-old, who has grown to become a fan favourite at the Yorkshire-based outfit, has now spoken of his delight at putting pen to paper on the new deal. 'I'm stoked to be staying here – I really love this club and I'm really excited to see what we can keep building over the next 12 months,' he told the club's website. 'I've really fallen in love with the fans and the atmosphere, both home and away – they're so dedicated. I love the playing group we have here and the coaching staff too – it's a fun place to come to work and that's being reflected in our performances.' Mason and Knight went public with their relationship back in 2024. The footy star took to social media to publish a loved-up snap of the couple embracing, while writing: 'My life's good.' The pair have since jetted around the world together, with Mason flying to London to spend some time with her beau in October, before also travelling to Rome and Paris. Mason began dating the footy star after calling off her marriage to Todd Liubinskas. The Wide World of Sports presenter, who recently replaced Alex Cullen on Nine's Today Show, was due to tie the knot in October of last year, but cancelled the ceremony, which was due to be held at the Greystone Estate in NSW's Hunter Valley.

The Daughter of Time was worth the wait
That it has taken its sweet time getting here cannot be denied, but, at last, it has happened. More than 70 years after the novel by Josephine Tey became an overnight sensation in 1951, a stage adaptation of The Daughter of Time has arrived in the West End. Voted the greatest crime novel of all time by the Crime Writers' Association back in 1990, The Daughter of Time is Tey's most unusual but brilliant detective story. It's her most unusual because its sees her Inspector Alan Grant – the central character in five of her detective stories – solving a crime from his hospital bed while recovering from a broken leg. And it's arguably her most brilliant because the crime he solves is one of British history's coldest and most high-profile cases – who murdered the Princes in the Tower in 1483. Yet while it's a brilliant book, because most of the action happens either inside Grant's head or in his hospital room, it has probably been judged undramatisable – until now. Playing at the Charing Cross Theatre just off Villiers Street, American playwright M. Kilburg Reedy's stage adaption takes Tey's classic and serves it up with a leavening Shakespearian twist. And what a historical tour de force it is. If you don't know your 15th-century history or House of York genealogy, you certainly will do after an evening here (the programme helpfully includes a family tree). We begin with Grant, who believes he can discern an individual's character through their face, so when his friend – glamorous actress Marta Hallard (played to the nines by Rachel Pickup) – brings him a selection of historical pictures to peruse, he becomes obsessed by the portrait of Richard III. This man doesn't resemble the devious hunchback of history who schemed his way to the throne and then had his nephews murdered in the Tower of London. If anything he looks cautious, thinks Grant (played with great bravura by Rob Pomfret) – sober, decent, more suited to the bench than the dock. So, since he's a detective and has nothing better to do, Grant embarks on a police-style investigation – complete with a board, map and pinned-up photographs of key individuals all connected with string – where with assistance from his sergeant (the excellent Sanya Adegbola) and a young lovelorn American named Brent Carradine (played by Harrison Sharpe, who nearly walks off with the show) he examines the contemporary and near-contemporary evidence for what really happened to the sons of Edward IV – namely Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York. What Grant discovers doesn't match up with what the traditional history and Tudor propagandists would have us believe. Chief among those propagandists was, of course, William Shakespeare. His history play Richard III was written in the early 1590s and was required to align with the sentiments of Elizabeth I, granddaughter of the man who defeated Richard III at Bosworth Field in 1485 – Henry Tudor. Rarely in the history of drama (probably not until Alan Rickman gave us Hans Gruber in Die Hard, anyway) has such a delicious, vile but downright charismatic villain ever been conceived as the Bard's 'poisonous bunch-backed toad'. The problem is that the play Shakespeare wrote was mostly rubbish, based on a fishy narrative written by Thomas More in the 1510s. What Tey's book did so expertly was to take Thomas More's version and tear it to pieces, largely by drawing on records and evidence that was much closer to the events described than More ever was. In Reedy's stage play, the same meticulous dissection takes place; so what we get is a journey through historical evidence that exposes the inconsistencies and omissions of the sources and the evidence upon which Shakespeare concocted his version of Richard III. And it's a historical romp – one delivered with all the impassion vim of Simon Schama after his second round of Weetabix. Of course, since it's a dramatisation there are deviations from the original. First, Reedy has taken the implied romance between Grant and Marta Hallard from the book and turned it into a full-blown subplot, one which turns – irony of ironies – on an act of deception that could have graced the pages of a Shakespeare comedy. This however fits remarkably neatly with another change introduced by Reedy, which is to use a Shakespearian actor, Simon Templeton (played brilliantly by Noah Huntley), to give voice to the Tudor 'case' against Richard III. And it works. While Tey's original dialogue is flawless – and Reedy used as much of it as she could, she says – there is so much more to the play, and many more laughs than one would have expected too (thanks not least to the nurses played by Hafsa Abbasi and Janna Fox). For fans of the book, the most significant change to the story comes in the selection of the killer of the young princes. Drawing on original sources, the playwright has come to a different conclusion – but it's one which I think holds just as much water as Tey's prime suspect. It certainly works in the context of the play, even if there are many people around now who believe (based on sound evidence by the way) that both princes actually survived the reign of Richard III and didn't die at all in 1483. What would Tey have made of the playwright's handiwork? I'm not sure she would have approved of the romantic subplot, since she never chose to marry Grant off herself and she could have done in his last outing (The Singing Sands of 1952), published posthumously. But – and it's an important but – the rest of it, I think, is spot on. At the heart of her book is the very probable innocence of Richard III and the concomitant calumny done against him ever since, something this lively play brings indisputably to life. 'Truth is the daughter of time, not authority,' is the Francis Bacon quote that inspired the title. Time will tell if this is the play that finally gets Richard III off the historical naughty step. The Daughter of Time is at the Charing Cross Theatre until 13 September.
