Saturday Night Live opened its 46th season with a parody of Tuesday's US presidential debate. The NBC late-night sketch series, which returned to a studio after COVID-19 halted filming, began with an almost 14-minute sketch featuring several well-known stars. Alec Baldwin played president Donald Trump before his COVID-19 diagnosis , Jim Carrey featured as the president's election rival former vice president Joe Biden and Maya Rudolph made a cameo appearance as Kamala Harris. Comedian and actor Chris Rock hosted the show. The comedy performance satirised the first election debate - which was characterised by its name calling, insults and the two politicians consistently speaking over each other. Advertisement Attempting to mirror Tuesday's debate, Baldwin's Trump appears to commandeer the debate, regularly interrupting and offending Biden with personal remarks. Meanwhile, Carrey's Biden tried to hold his anger - breathing … [Read more...] about Saturday Night Live: Baldwin and Carrey face off in presidential debate skit

NATIONAL Guard troops have become sick after they were apparently served moldy food containing metal shavings and raw meat while protecting the US Capitol. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been blamed on social media for the atrocity, with some calling for the soldiers to be sent home.

M ireille Darc, who has died aged 79, was a French model turned actress who became a sex symbol in her heyday in the 1960s and 1970s. Willowy, and with a sleek blonde bob, Mireille Darc was known to her fans as “the grasshopper” on account of her uncannily long and slender legs. Her figure was shown to sensational effect in Yves Robert’s 1972 comedy The Tall Blond Man With One Black Shoe, in which her character is seen greeting the comedian Pierre Richard at the front door of her flat in a demure high-necked black velvet dress, only to turn round to reveal that the dress is backless, cut rather too low for modesty to be maintained. She also collaborated with Georges Lautner, Jean-Luc Godard, Edouard Molinaro, Jacques Deray, Roger Vadim, Alain Delon (whose partner she became) and Michel Audiard, starring in more than 50 films. The best known of these was probably Godard’s Weekend (1967), a film noir turned dystopian Marxist surreal fantasy, in which she and Jean Yarre played a … [Read more...] about Mireille Darc, French sex symbol – obituary
