Zinedine Zidane will hope to kick off the decade with better fortunes following Los Blancos’ discouraging end to 2019. The Madrid giants may have gone 13 games unbeaten in all competitions but the statistic is not as great as it sounds. Real Madrid drew three consecutive games in the Spanish top-flight - against Valencia, Barcelona, and Athletic Bilbao - in December and consequently found themselves fall two points behind the Catalan league leaders....

Such is the power of a 23-year-old, blond former Playmate of the Year in go-go boots. David Letterman could hardly contain himself. “You’re practically naked!” he shouted in the direction of her exposed midriff the other night. “Yo, Dave,” she remembers thinking at the time. “My eyes are up here.” And beautiful blue eyes they are. But they aren’t what made this Chicago Catholic-girls’-school girl into a pinup fantasy. That would be her–get your mind out of the gutter!...

Reports say the former AC Milan striker is all but the victor of Tuesday’s run-off, as he currently leads incumbent vice-president Joseph Boakai with more than 60 per cent of the votes.

Matt Hellyer, an ex-SAS (British special forces) soldier, detailed her extensive efforts to stay below the radar, saying: “We would never stay in one place for any length of time.” “She was the most hunted lady in the U.S.A. and in fact in the world but she needed to get out,” the former warrant officer told an upcoming docuseries for Paramount+. Epstein’s death in his jail cell in August 2019 led to renewed interest in the scandal, and shortly afterwards Maxwell was photographed while out for burgers in Los Angeles....

The British socialite is expected to ask Judge Alison Nathan to free her from the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn as she awaits trial in July next year. The move comes after prosecutors previously warned she is an “extreme” flight risk following evidence she hid out in a “remote” New Hampshire house with her cell phone wrapped in foil. CNBC quoted a court filing by prosecutors indicating she will make a “renewed application for bail” and asking for “sealing and for an in camera hearing....

The teacher from Hephzibah High School, who has not been identified, shared the picture of the controversial flag with words that read: “A sticker you put on the back of your pickup truck to announce that you intend to marry your sister. Think of it like a white trash ‘Save the Date’ card.” It was not immediately clear under what context or circumstances the words or picture were used, but the matter roused local debate after one pupil took a picture of the classroom slide and sent it to her mother for her opinion....

The duo, who both have Turkish heritage, were pictured with Erdogan just a day before Joachim Low named his selection for Russia 2018, and the duo were booed by Germany fans in pre-World Cup friendlies. Germany endured a disappointing defence of their title, crashing out in the group stages following losses to Mexico and South Korea either side of a last-gasp win against Sweden. Team manager Oliver Bierhoff later suggested Germany should have passed on Ozil, with the Arsenal playmaker yet to comment on the picture....

Germany is also mulling over stricter rules for workplaces and giving employees the opportunity to work remotely when possible.

Gerrard leads Rangers into the second Old Firm derby of the season on Saturday after moving to Scotland in May to take up his first senior managerial position, ending a 28-year association with the Merseyside club.

Rangers sit third in the Scottish Premiership table, two points off leaders Celtic in a congested title race, after Sunday’s 7-1 demolition of Motherwell. Gerrard’s men have been less consistent in Europe, though, surrendering the lead three times in a 4-3 Europa League loss away to Spartak Moscow last week. But the Liverpool legend feels silverware is a realistic target for Rangers in his first season at the club - as well as the maiden campaign of his managerial career....
