The 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, have been surrounded by controversy. China has been accused, by the U.S. and others including many human rights groups, of carrying out genocide against millions of Uyghurs, an ethnic minority in Central and Eastern Asia.

Mourinho: We needed super personality Ibrahimovic Kante has only started one of France’s World Cup qualifiers in this campaign despite his stunning form for Chelsea, which has led to him becoming the hot favourite to be named PFA Player of the Year. The 25-year-old is closing in on winning back-to-back Premier League titles having helped Leicester City to glory last season. But while Leboeuf acknowledges Kante is already good enough to be a crucial part of the team for Chelsea or France, he feels the midfielder is lacking in some key areas....

West has collaborated with both Gap and Adidas on the fashion front under the brand Yeezy. In June, West signed a 10-year deal with GAP to sell his apparel line in their stores. At a presidential campaign event in South Carolina on Sunday, West threatened to exit deals with both companies if they did not name him to their boards of directors. “Anna Wintour always showed me love but when I told her I was going to GAP she looked at me like I was crazy,” West said in a now-deleted tweet....

While bored in quarantine, Karen Gillan took part in an Instagram story trend where she answered assumptions about herself. One user suggested that the Scottish actress was wearing a wig in “preparation” (for her appearance in the movie), to which she answered, “I’m not, this is the real deal! This is my hair, I cut it the other day in preparation for Nebula, so that we don’t have to like get so much hair into the bald cap, because I have so much hair it’s unbelievable, it’s just so thick....

Lake lost the Arizona governor election by more than 17,000 votes to Democratic candidate Katie Hobbs, who was sworn into office on January 2. Her claims of electoral fraud were rejected in December 2022 by a Maricopa County judge, who said Lake hadn’t provided “clear and convincing evidence” of malpractice. The prominent Trump supporter immediately announced her intention to appeal. On Monday, Lake announced she was holding a “Save Arizona rally” on January 29 and posted a promotional poster for the event....

Lake is now appealing to the state’s Supreme Court to take up the matter, and in the past few days has made media appearances and social media posts that suggest she has no interest in giving up the fight. However, both Republican officials and experts believe that, even though Lake may not have realized it yet, there is very little chance of the Arizona election being overturned. The Arizona gubernatorial election was one of several polls in the November midterms in which a Trump-endorsed, populist candidate lost to their Democrat rival....

Karius was at fault for two goals as Liverpool were beaten 3-1 by Real Madrid in the final, although doctors later confirmed the German suffered concussion during the match – potentially from a clash with Sergio Ramos. Compatriot Trapp described continuing despite the concussion as “madness”, and backed the Reds’ shot-stopper to respond well. “If it is true that he had a concussion and that led to the mistakes, that would be madness,” the Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper told reporters at Germany’s media day....

Karlovic – a three-time finalist in Newport and the 2016 champion – suffered a 7-6 (8-6) 6-7 (4-7) 6-2 loss to Dudi Sela. The big-serving Croatian sent down 18 aces, but he also produced 15 double faults to lose at the ATP 250 event.

The upcoming Ironheart series will detail the events of newcomer Riri Williams, as she steps into the role of Iron Man with her own version of Stark’s technology. Steve Rogers obviously gave his Captain America title to Sam Wilson, while Thor named Valkyrie the new King of Asgard, so as of now, all 5 of the original heroes have given up their titles in favor of bestowing them upon someone else....

The Duchess of Sussex was criticized in the media and by her half-brother Thomas Markle Jr. for a PR stunt after she was photographed laying flowers for victims. However, the Princess of Wales had herself made a similar effort to express support for a woman murdered by a police officer in London—only Kate was not criticized in the same way for doing it, according to author Christopher Andersen. New royal biography, The King: The Life of Charles III, says Kate privately expressed some sympathy for Meghan’s motivations....

Per The New York Times, Raptors superfan Drake “is said to be mounting his own recruiting campaign on top of whatever the freshly minted champions are doing to convince him to stay.” Hard to say what impact Drake might have on the low-key superstar, but it’s worth noting. Still, the Lakers believe they’re “firmly in the lead” to land the star because of the “recruiting efforts and assurances made on separate fronts” by some high-profile pitchmen, too: former president of basketball operations Magic Johnson and LeBron James, according to the Times....
