Twitter reunites long lost cruise ship friends

Marta Kauffman remembers being bothered: Why were so many people picking on Friends? Created by Kauffman and David Crane, the series about a group of close friends was an instant smash when it premiered in 1994, and thanks to syndication and streaming, it has remained one of TV's most popular shows since it left the air in 2004 after 10 seasons. Despite its success, though, the comedy was repeatedly criticised for its lack of diversity, with numerous observers wondering how the characters existed in a predominantly white environment even though the series was set in New York City. Kauffman felt Friends was being unfairly singled out, claiming there was too much attention on the near-absence of black people and other people of colour: "It was difficult and frustrating." But now, Kauffman says, she gets it.

**Spoilers for The Boys to follow** The Boys star Laurie Holden has revealed her character the Crimson Countess had shoes fit for some of the biggest kings and queen of pop, including Lady Gaga and Elton John. Season three of The Boys has been pretty wild so far , to say the least, with Crimson Countess one of the newcomers bought in for the latest batch of episodes. She was introduced to fans as a member of Payback and the former lover of Soldier Boy. However, when she learnt Soldier Boy was still alive, it wasn’t long before the pair reunited, and things quickly went south, after she betrayed him. In epic scenes, Soldier Boy got his revenge as he released his energy discharge which destroyed the Crimson Countess’s home and reduced her body to a smouldering skeleton. A pretty casual way to go, if you ask us. Of course, this is The Boys, meaning it’s never completely out of the question we won’t see her again. And Metro.co.uk recently caught up … [Read more...] about The Boys: Crimson Countess’ epic boots created by Lady Gaga and Elton John’s shoe designer

They had been adamant they would not let anyone else leave unless they received an offer that was too good to turn down, and now both Arsenal and United are nearing that price tag for Martinez. Ajax are believed to want around €50million (£43m) guaranteed, though so far United’s best offer has only reached £34m up front in addition to £4m in bonuses and add-ons.
