Real Housewives star accidentally posts X-rated video of footballer husband
Caroline Stanbury's husband, Sergio Carrallo, shockingly appeared in her recent podcast video without any underwear on. The former Real Madrid soccer player walked into the background — completely nude from the waist down — of the Real Housewives of Dubai alum's July 24 episode titled 'The Beauty tips I never told anyone! | Uncut & Uncensored.' Carrallo didn't appear to notice Stanbury was filming as he casually walked into the frame and bent down, giving viewers a clear shot of his bare butt before putting on a pair of yellow shorts, per Page Six. He continued to lurk in the background for a couple more seconds before eventually grabbing his phone and walking away. You can watch the full – explicit – video for yourself above. Stanbury didn't miss a beat and continued to talk to viewers about health tips. She also didn't edit out the X-rated moment from the episode, leading to plenty of comments online. 'Not his peaches and cream on full display,' one Instagram user commented on a video of the cheeky moment. 'He got hella cake,' another praised. But some were not convinced the moment was genuine. 'They set this up. She did this for 'likes.' Anything to drive traffic,' one comment read. 'I think he knew but pretended to be stupid,' another comment read. Stanbury, 49, and Carrallo, 30, have been married since December 2021. He is her second husband. Stanbury was previously married to Cem Habib, 50, for 17 years before they split in 2019. They share three children together. This isn't the first time the reality star has shared intimate parts of her life. In February, she showcased her oozing eyeball in a TikTok video about her experience with a painful eye infection. She and Carrallo ended up having to stay the night at a hospital. 'I've never heard of anything like this in my life. What is intense conjunctivitis?' she asked her followers. 'It's so painful. … It really feels like my eye might burst.'

Former guest makes startling new claims about Ellen DeGeneres: ‘Worst person'
A comedian has made startling new claims about Ellen DeGeneres' alleged behaviour behind the scenes of her now-cancelled talk show. Adam Carolla appeared on conservative commentator Emily Jashinsky's podcast After Party on July 30, where he was asked his thoughts on the star's recent move to the UK after Donald Trump's presidential win. The former Man Show host said that he believed the likes of DeGeneres and Rosie O'Donnell moved across the pond as Trump's win last November 'triggered the unravelling of very talented people'. But Carolla claimed that DeGeneres has always been a 'mean person', so said it came as a surprise to him that she is now speaking about the 'grave injustice' – as host Jashinsky described it – happening in the US under Trump's new immigration policy. Carolla then shared an anecdote of the two occasions he appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where was met by staff who were 'scared to death' of the talk show host. 'I knew they were scared because it's like, I was just sitting in my dressing room and their segment producer came in, and he went, 'All right, so we went over all the stuff we're going to talk about.' You know, Christmas vacation or whatever it was. And I go, 'Yeah, yeah,'' he recalled on the podcast. At the time, DeGeneres was a staunch vegan and so the producer wanted to avoid certain topics on air during the 2012 taping. '[The producer] goes, 'You're not going to talk about meat or beef or anything like that, right?' And I go, 'No, I'm not. I'm just going to talk about the stuff we talked about – going on vacation at Christmas or the kids or you know, their anecdotes.'' But Carolla claims the producer returned to the room to again drill into him that meat products were not to be discussed. 'He came back like 20 minutes later right before I went out, and he's like, 'OK, but don't talk about beef or meat or any[thing],'' he recalled. 'I was like, 'Oh, this guy's scared to death.'' Carolla then shared a conversation he had with another staffer who labelled DeGeneres the 'worst person'. 'Later on, I talked to someone who signed an NDA, so I won't say his name, but he wrote for Ellen,' Carolla shared. 'I just went, 'How's Ellen?' And he said, 'Worst person, worst person. Not worst person I've worked for. Worst person I've ever met.'' DeGeneres' reputation first took a hit in 2020, after several anonymous The Ellen DeGeneres Show employees came forward with allegations of racism, sexual misconduct, and hostility behind the scenes in a BuzzFeed exposé. Her show subsequently came to an end in 2022 after 19 seasons, with the star officially calling it quits. 'I want you to know I thought about this decision for a long time,' DeGeneres said on the show at the time. 'I meditated on it, I talked to [wife] Portia, I talked to myself … The point is, I need to take a break from talking. I always trust my instincts, and my instincts told me it's time.' DeGeneres said her reasoning for quitting was because it was 'just not a challenge anymore'. 'When you're a creative person, you constantly need to be challenged. And as great as this show is, and as fun as it is, it's just not a challenge anymore,' she said.

Sad reason so many beloved movies and TV shows are being remade
Someone get out the David Beckham-sized bronzer tub. He's got a cameo to make. This week came news we didn't realise we needed so badly, that a sequel to 2002's surprise hit rom-com Bend It Like Beckham is in the works. The original made more than $100 million at the box office and only added to the Brand Beckham aura, so it seems impossible that Golden Balls himself won't good-naturedly sign on for some sort of guest part. Unfortunately, while Becks himself reapplies a certain teak deck-like shade of self-tanner, if you're looking for a sign the world is distinctly not okay right now, then ta da. The world's 90s and early aughts obsession is a massive red flag. The number of movie and TV remakes from that era has now reached a comical level. Just this week, photos surfaced showing the cast of The Devil Wears Prada sequel on set, looking like the last 19 years never happened as they shimmy back into their characters' costumes. There are sequels or reprisals of Clueless, The Bodyguard, Ghost, The Thomas Crown Affair, An Officer and A Gentleman, Anaconda, Ghost, The Hand That Rocks the Cradle and Single White Female in the pipeline. New I Know What You Did Last Summer, Final Destination, Freaky Friday and The Naked Gun are wither out or coming to cinemas soon. The Mean Girls and Twister follow-ups did brisk business. On TV screens, we are getting new Murder She Wrote, Malcolm In The Middle, One Tree Hill, Desperate Housewives and Buffy The Vampire Slayer. The obvious move is to put it down to Hollywood laziness or the bankability of misty-eyed nostalgia. But I think it's actually a symptom of just how f**ked the world is right now. What this week's Bend It news confirms isn't that Hollywood ran out of ideas about the time they swore off gluten but how badly, how desperately, audiences are craving comfort right now. The characters, the formats and the worlds of Prada, of Clueless, of Buffy, are safe, familiar and unchallenging. To watch any of these is to catch up with old friends; it feels like slipping back on a favourite old pair of Levi 501s (they're back too). What these remakes are is perfectly-worn-in entertainment. You have to go back to the dark days of the 1930s to find a time in history when the world felt this bleak. It's impossible to open a news site or social media feed without being immediately immersed in horror, extreme suffering, unthinkable starvation, and unspeakable cruelty and violence. To learn about how AI is about to fillet the job market and whole economies. To read about the loneliness epidemic that no one has any idea how to treat. Is it any wonder then that we want the simple, uncomplicated pleasure of seeing a cow sucked up by a twister again? To see Andy Sachs being dressed down by a deliciously imperious Miranda Priestly once more? To spend two hours with soccer-mad Jess as she unironically makes her dreams come true? Emotionally, this tranche of 2.0 movies and TV shows is the equivalent of snuggling back down under the covers in your childhood bedroom and letting out a long slow exhale. We want - need - to cocoon ourselves in thoroughly known, uncomplicated plots and characters that don't demand anything of us; we want to be frictionlessly and immediately whisked away from reality. What also unites all these remakes is not just that they are sure-fire, bang-up, will-definitely work bits of IP but that they all hark back to a very particular period where the world looked golden. In about 2000 when Bend It writer Gurinder Chadha was sitting down at her computer - let's imagine it's a bulbous coloured plastic iMac - and started clacking out a script about a Sikh girl torn between her family's expectations and her love of soccer, Tony Blair was Prime Minister. Bill Clinton and his saxophone were still in the White House. The Camp David accord was being hashed out, the Good Friday agreement had created peace in Ireland after centuries of Troubles, and in New York's financial district the Twin Towers stood tall. Breakthrough AIDs drugs had hit the market, broadband had arrived and the Nokia 3310 was the hottest ticket. A GFC? Never heard of her. The world was fine, innit? Peace and stability reigned supreme. Economies were going gangbusters and the Iron Curtain had long since been torn down by the time Blair was covertly playing Snake in between budgetary briefings. No wonder the world is obsessed with the 90s and early 2000s right now. We all want to time-travel back to a period when the world felt safer, saner, and easier. This impulse goes far beyond movies and TV too. Low slung jeans, halter tops and platform thongs are back. Oasis has just sold out a stadium tour. In the US, staple 90s retailers like Gap and Abercrombie & Fitch are experiencing sales resurgences, in the UK there has been a boom in sales in 90s chip flavours and in Australia, Allen's is bringing back single serve Killer Pythons. Data from from May showed an uptick in interest in throwback recipes like rissoles, beef stroganoff and pumpkin soup. Cheaper yes in a time of cost-of-living belt-tightening but, with the world looking in such a terrible way, who wants to sit down to sprouted buckwheat with a turmeric tahini drizzle? Pass the safe, soothing, uncomplicated stroganoff. More sour cream and Sarah Michelle Gellar? Yes please. Recently J urassic World Rebirth director Gareth Edwards talked about making the seventh outing in the dinosaur franchise and said, 'I wanted it to feel like a film they'd discovered from the early 90s.' Which is exactly how we want to feel too. Yes, with all the movies, there is also the base economics of it all too. Post pandemic, post 2023 Hollywood strike and in the age of the streaming wars, studios only want bankable surethings. Casual, movie-going has fallen away and getting bottoms onto cinema seats now increasingly means having to create a cultural moment or some sort of special event viewing. However, our appetite for remakes actually says something far bigger about our psychological needs right now. The day after the Bend It news broke came the absolute cherry-on-top, piece de resistance: Channel Ten is bringing back Big Brother. Bust out the bunny ears. Don't understand the reference? Ask your parents.
