Naruto is a cult classic when it comes to Shonen anime. The series holds a special place in our hearts but that doesn’t mean it is spared from criticism in any case. This is true for a twist that ruined the series’ ending for real and this had more to do with a character. Fans […]

BRITAIN’S Got Talent star Chantel Bellew, who made Ant and Dec laugh with her cheeky dance, has died aged 34.
The TV dancer, who made it to the quarter finals of Series 13, tragically passed away in hospital just weeks after her birthday.
Chantel’s friends have set up a GoFundMe page to help pay for her funeral.
Close pal Katy Glover paid tribute to her and said: “She was such a whirlwind, the life and soul of the party and such a bundle of life.
“She lived and breathed glamour and showbiz and she was a fantastic tap dancer, she did a number of Britain’s Got Talent which she loved, and she kept telling everyone.
“Chantel said she’d had a brilliant time and treated it as another audition because she was so professional, and she was so determined.
“She also taught Anton Du Beke tap as well because tap was her life, she was the best tapper out there.
“She was incredible, one of a kind, sparkly and loving and loyal.”
THIS is the humiliating moment a distressed man rushed to the emergency room after his wife got her hand stuck in his mouth.
The bizarre incident happened in the Jilin region of China when the couple tried to film a funny video for social media.
It became clear that the trick had gone wrong after the woman tried to pull her hand from the man’s mouth and noticed his face turn bright red.
His throat then made a strange gurgling noise and he drooled continuously.
Things took a turn for the worse when the woman began to feel pain after her husband’s teeth uncontrollably clamped down on her wrist due to muscle spasms.
She said: “It felt like my hand was stuck in a meat grinder.”
They rushed to a hospital in China, where a video captured the awkward moment.
The man can be seen crying in distress and struggling to breathe through his nose.
Shocked hospital staff tried to play soothing music to calm down the visibly pained man.
To prevent him from choking or vomiting, they used a special mouth opener to expand his jaw enough to inject a muscle relaxant.
Dr Zhang Mingyan explained that the reason the woman’s hand got stuck was because the man’s jaw muscles had contracted and clamped down on it.
He removed the woman’s hand by gently rotating her wrist for 20 minutes.
Ironically, the couple, whose identities have not been shared, were trying to see if her hand was small enough to fit inside his mouth in what was supposed to be a funny video.
Dr Mingyan has warned others against trying the trick, advising that forcing a person’s jaw open can cause nerve damage or jaw dislocation.
The man did not suffer any serious injuries.
This comes as other shocking moments were recently caught on camera.
Footage captured horrific scenes as an influencer was left foaming at the mouth after trying to run through a wall of duct tape in a bizarre stunt.
Aussie social media star and rapper Lil Golo was trying to test how many strips of duct tape he could run through when he knocked himself out in a skatepark in New Zealand.
Another shocking moment shows a male model being attacked by an aggressive octopus who clasps onto his body and drags him underwater.
Italian Federico Cola was enjoying the Indian Ocean on a holiday to the Seychelles when he was preyed upon by the tentacled beast.
Footage also captures the moment a man crossing the road is flung through the air after a car ploughs into him.
The horror video was captured on CCTV from a nearby property in Forest Gate, London.
BOOTS’ newest beauty box is giving shoppers the opportunity to get £227 worth of trending products for £49.
The set comes with 14 skincare, make-up and body favourites; 12 of which are full-size.
Boots Make More Room For Beauty, £49 (worth £227.51)
It’s rare for beauty boxes to contain so many full-size products, with cult favourite brands inside including Too Faced, Super Goop!, Sol de Janeiro and No7.
A standout inside the Make More Room For Beauty Box is Skin + Me’s popular Hydration Serum, which has a dermatologist-approved dose of peptides and niacinamide to brighten the complexion.
Boots has released several beauty boxes in recent weeks that have sold out fast, and the new release is an opportunity to save on new products before stock runs out.
Skincare fans can also try out a full-size version of Lumene’s Glow Boost Essence Serum worth £37 when purchased separately.
The warmer weather is fast-approaching, and Boots has kitted out customers with the viral Supergoop! Unseen Sunscreen and Nuxe’s Shimmering Body Oil for a sunkissed glow.
While you can read the full contents of the box below, the retailer has also thrown in a Maybelline Teddy Lipstick in a surprise shade.
The new Sol de Janeiro new Delicia Drench Shower Oil is included too, alongside the Too Faced Kissing Jelly Lip Oil.
While I’m yet to try out the Make More Room For Beauty Box for myself, the 12 out of 14 full-size products makes it one of the best value to date.
Boots has been causing mass sell-outs with its beauty boxes in recent weeks.
High street shoppers were quick to snap up the retailer’s Mother’s Day With Love Edit, while the Korean Skincare Box sold out within days.
If the Make More Room For Beauty Box is anything like the other bargain bundles, it’s likely to sell out soon.

MANCHESTER UNITED legend Ryan Giggs has personally lost £100,000 after a trendy restaurant he backed went bust.
The former wing wizard, 51, invested in swanky George’s Dining Room and Bar, which opened in 2014, before it went bust with debts of £563,600.
Fresh paperwork shows the business owed £99,925 to Giggs, £28,302 to employees, £8,114 to Boulinot Wines, £755 to a local tea shop and £318 to Grandads Sausages.
We told last week how the business owed £75,616 in taxes and £44,095 in bank loans and overdrafts.
Giggs, 51, opened George’s in Worsley, Greater Manchester, with old school pals Kelvin Gregory and Bernie Taylor in 2014.
Last month, the restaurant served its last punter, blaming “unforeseen circumstances”.
Signs on the door on January 31 said it was closed for the weekend “due to unforeseen circumstances”.
On March 7, the RKB Ventures Ltd company set up by Giggs and his mates to run the business was officially liquidated.
When George’s shut, staff were sent text messages telling them bosses “regret to announce that with a heavy heart we have no alternative but to close George’s effective immediately”.
The message added: “This is due to the obvious reduction in trade and business against the huge increases in costs of operating the business and the ongoing cost of living crisis.”
Staff are said to have also been told they will be paid any outstanding wages in “due course”, as well as notice payment, as well as redundancy pay for “those to whom it applies”.
A staff member said then: “It came totally out of the blue.
“We were all supposed to be working today and then we got the text messages through, we are all stunned.”
Meanwhile, customers made a string of complaints in online comments asking what would happen with their gift vouchers purchased.
A spokesperson for the restaurant told the Manchester Evening News: “We are currently in the process of refunding all vouchers purchased which haven’t been redeemed.
“The majority of these have been refunded and we will be in touch within the coming days with those outstanding.
“If you don’t hear from us please get in touch with the restaurant directly.” The contact for the restaurant is being given as the email address info@georgesworsley.co.uk.”
Former Man Utd stars Bryan Robson, Nicky Butt and Gary Neville were all at the opening of George’s.
At the time Giggs, director of football at Salford City, said of his fellow owners: “We’ve known each other for 30 years and we always said it would be great to do something like this together.
“We’re all local lads and have lived in this area all our lives so we wanted to do something in Worsley and we think we’ve got a really different offering for the area.”
Giggs is involved in property development, hospitality and fashion.
He had a baby daughter with partner Zara Charles last year.
Elsewhere, Giggs has helped to transform Salford City FC after returning to the dugout for the League Two outfit almost three years after stepping down as Wales head coach.
He has taken a more hands-on role with the first team in recent months and has been spotted in the dugout alongside manager Karl Robinson during games.
The Wales and Manchester United legend is a co-owner of the Ammies alongside his former Red Devils teammates Gary Neville, Phil Neville, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and investor David Beckham.
Giggs also began working as the club’s director of football last year.
However, the former Welsh national team manager now seems to be lending his experience of coaching to the staff at Moor Lane too as he takes up a match day role on the touchline.
The star became manager of his country in 2018, before being arrested on assault charges two years later.
Giggs, who has always denied any wrongdoing, stepped down from the role in June 2022 ahead of his trial, where a jury failed to reach a verdict.

THE recent wave of celebrity chef restaurant closures can indeed be attributed to several factors, with the pandemic being a significant one.
The hospitality industry, particularly high-end restaurants, faced unprecedented challenges during the pandemic. Restrictions on dining, a shift to takeaways, and the need for social distancing significantly reduced footfall and revenue for these establishments.
However, the impact goes beyond the pandemic. High-end restaurants operate on a model that requires substantial overheads—premium locations, top-quality ingredients, and skilled staff.
With the economic uncertainty and a change in consumer behaviour post-pandemic, there’s been a shift in dining preferences. Many diners are now seeking more casual, value-driven experiences, which puts pressure on the viability of luxury dining.
Moreover, for celebrity chefs, these ventures are often passion projects rather than primary revenue sources.
If a restaurant isn’t performing well, it may not be worth the continued investment, especially when compared to the other income streams they have, such as media appearances, books, and endorsements.
