Widow twerks on cardboard cutout of dead husband at his funeral
In an unbelievable video, a widow twerks against a cardboard cutout of her dead husband - just next to his open casket. A reggaeton singer hired for the funeral provided the upbeat music the grieving woman danced to while funeral-goers cheered her on. Dressed in black, the widow is captured rubbing her behind on the life-size printout of her late partner in Peru. Onlookers are heard whooping and cheering her on at the funeral. And even the sad event's entertainment - a singer known as El Cangri del Callao - was egging on the widow during his performance. He even encourages fellow mourners to join in the raunchy dance at the wake. The singer later shared the unbelievable clip on his Instagram page, where it went viral with 4.3 million views and thousands of comments. One local said: 'Hi bro, I'm going to die on 23 July. 'Are you available?' Another added: 'They are very young, but in my time we cried at funerals.' 'Widow finds five new loves... at the wake', someone joked. And: 'We can see how that stupid music makes people stupid.' One other comment pointed out how a 'farewell should be joyful, not sad'. While a fellow performer said: 'I've performed funerals and wakes, but always from a very different tone to what this video shows. 'I've never had the opportunity to capture a farewell from such a luminous, vivid perspective.' Meanwhile, a mere few days ago, the haunting moment a teen gave a tearful funeral eulogy to her slain mother and stepdad that later made her the prime suspect in their murder was captured. Sarah Grace Patrick, 17, now faces two counts of murder and two counts of aggravated assault in connection with the shootings of Kristin Brock, 41, and James Brock, 45. The chilling video of Patrick's eulogy shows the teen in a pale blue dress, standing before mourners at the lectern of the Catalyst Church in Carollton, Georgia. She said: 'I just wanted to say goodbye to my mum and James since we never got the chance to.' Patrick called her mother a 'beautiful kind soul' and told mourners she'd always be her 'sunshine'. Now, the same speech that drew tears from the crowd is drawing scrutiny from law enforcement.

Disgraced sex offender Stephen Bear, 35, marries teen girlfriend, 18
Disgraced British reality star Stephen Bear has married his 18-year-old Brazilian girlfriend – just 18 months after being release from jail over a revenge porn conviction. The 35-year-old, who rose to fame after appearing on a string of popular TV shows, was ordered to sign the sex offender register after being found guilty in December 2022 of two counts of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress, and two counts of voyeurism, after he leaked footage of himself and ex-girlfriend Georgia Harrison having sex. Bear was jailed for up to 21 months for distributing the sex tape, which Harrison had no idea had been filmed, and was released on licence in January 2024 after serving just half of his sentence. Following the completion of his licence, he introduced social media users to his 'beautiful 18-year-old Latina girlfriend' in a video filmed on a beach in Brazil. He's now claimed to have married the teenager, whose name is still unknown, in a series of Instagram posts shared on Friday. 'MY WEDDING. MR AND MRS BEAR,' he captioned a video from the big day. During the clip, the former Celebrity Big Brother winner could be seen picking up his new bride, whose Instagram handle is simply 'Miami'. In another video he could be seen singing Frank Sinatra's 'I Love You Baby' as he spun her around on the dancefloor. They didn't appear to have many guests at the reception, according to The Sun. It is not known how or when the couple met, but his new bride first appeared on his socials in January in a video which showed Bear boasting: 'The police can't catch me now.' 'Life's good. I thought I'd come on here guys and say I love you all, simple as that. I love you all,' he said as he swigged from a beer bottle. 'Stay true, because this year I'm fully active, I'm off licence. The police, they could still be after me, but I'm in Brazil. 'I can be completely left alone, ready to enjoy my life now. All my conditions are just lifted. 'Now I can post on social media, that was the main condition, watch this space.' Georgia Harrison, Bear's sex tape victim, has become a highly-commended advocate for those who have been affected by the violating crime. The former Only Way Is Essex star has tirelessly campaigned for stricter rules surrounding intimate image abuse and deep fakes — including working with the government on the Online Safety Act – and was recently awarded a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire — also known as an MBE — as part of the King's Birthday Honours, which is in a similar vein to an Order of Australia Medal, for her work. 'I am beyond honoured to be listed to receive an MBE,' she said on Instagram after discovering the news last month. 'I'm so grateful to anyone who has reach out to congratulate me and also to all of you who have shared and continue to share your stories with me along the way. 'I am continuously reading them all, taking on board your experiences and using them as both fuel and knowledge for my campaigning.' Bear was ordered to pay Harrison £27k (about $56,500 Australian Dolalrs) on top of the £207,000 ($433,000) he was told to pay her in a separate civil case after leaking and selling the video on his OnlyFans account. He's since claimed he is broke and can't afford to pay his ex-girlfriend.

'Mission: Impossible' composer Lalo Schifrin dies aged 93
Famed composer Lalo Schifrin, who created themes for a host of hit Hollywood films and television shows -- including the instantly recognizable "Mission: Impossible" score -- died Thursday aged 93, US media reported. Born in Argentina, Schifrin blended the influences of his classical and symphonic training with jazz and modern sounds in his diverse and vast oeuvre, which includes the scores for around 100 films, some of them the best-known of their generation. His death was confirmed by his son, Ryan Schifrin, to several entertainment trade publications. Schifrin's work for film includes "The Cincinnati Kid (1965) and "Bullitt" (1968), both with Steve McQueen, Paul Newman's "Cool Hand Luke" (1968), and Clint Eastwood's "Dirty Harry" (1971). He also created the score to the 1960s "Mission: Impossible" television series, which inspired the theme of the massive film franchise starring Tom Cruise. A pipe-smoker in his younger years and bespectacled with a mane of silver hair later, he was also a highly respected international orchestra conductor and jazz pianist. Boris Claudio Schifrin was born in Buenos Aires on June 21, 1932 into a musical family, his father Luis Schifrin being the concert master of the city's Philharmonic Orchestra for 25 years. He learned piano at a young age, developing an extensive knowledge of classical music. His introduction in his teens to jazz and the American sound -- through its greats such as Charlie Parker, George Gershwin and Louis Armstrong -- was like a conversion, he would say later, and set his life on a new course. After training in Paris, Schifrin returned to Buenos Aires and set up his own big band, with a performance notably impressing jazz legend trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. "So after we finished, Dizzy came to me and said, did you write all these charts? And I said, yes. Would you like to come to United States? I thought he was joking. He wasn't," Schifrin recounted to NPR in 2007. "I wouldn't be here had it not been for that moment," he told the US radio. Schifrin moved to the United States in 1958 and became a US citizen over a decade later. In Hollywood, television producer Bruce Geller asked him to create scores for his television series "Mission: Impossible" (1966) and "Mannix" (1969). Geller's brief was for "a theme that's exciting, promising, but not too heavy" and anticipates the action to follow, Schifrin told NPR in 2015. Geller said that when "people go to the kitchen and get a Coca-Cola, I want them to hear the theme and say, Oh, this is 'Mission: Impossible'," he recounted. The score he delivered earned Schifrin two Grammy music awards in 1967, adding to two for the albums "The Cat" (1964) and "Jazz Suite On The Mass Texts" (1965). Shifrin received several Academy Award nominations for his film work including for "Cool Hand Luke." In 2018, he received an honorary Oscar for lifetime achievement, presented by Eastwood.
