His comments come as social media influencers who enjoy reading have been openly admitting they 'skip' reading 'big paragraphs'.

David Copperfield's representatives have slammed a slew of new sexual misconduct allegations that have been leveled at the illusionist in a new report. In total, 16 women have accused Copperfield, 67, of varying degrees of misconduct in interviews with The Guardian. More than half of those accusers say that the abuse occurred before they were 18 years of age. Three of the accusers say that Copperfield drugged them before having sex with them. The allegations go back as far as the 1980s with the most recent allegedly occurring in 2014.

Javier Tebas, the head of LaLiga, has released a broadside against new European Super League plans, calling them more destructive than 2021. The European Court of Justice found that UEFA and FIFA acted against antitrust law when they blocked plans for the breakaway league in December. The Super League's sports operations firm behind the A22 also suggested a new layout featuring 64 leading European teams split across Star, Gold, and Blue divisions, as well as matches streaming for free.

Although there will no doubt be changes at Selhurst Park, the Austrian's message in his first press conference at times paralleled his predecessor Roy Hodgson, who used to inform commentators that he did not have a'magic wand.' Glasner, who steered Eintracht Frankfurt into Europa League glory in 2022, takes over a Palace team five points ahead of Saturday's opponents Burnley.

Hillary Clinton was seen in Manhattan on Monday, her first sighting since the Epstein papers were released on January 3. She was seen clutching a memoir of'shame and secrecy'. For the first time since her husband's name was dragged through the mud, the former Secretary of State was back in New York City for the first time since his husband's name was once more dragged through the mud, thanks to his acquaintance with Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Clinton, now 77, was friends with late pedophile financier Louis Leopolski in the early 1990s. Bill Clinton's name was prominently used last week in a series of court documents from a 2015 lawsuit involving Epstein's right-hand woman Ghislaine Maxwell, as a section of court records from his trial, despite being unsealed. A woman convicted of Epstein said in one particularly scathing segment that he told her Clinton, 'likes them young,' referring to girls. None of the papers contained allegations of sexual abuse between Clinton and Epstein's victims, but the news has made it difficult for Clinton and other influential men who identified with Epstein, including Prince Andrew, magician David Copperfield, and Donald Trump.

How can it be that, in a case so vast, which saw the organised sex-trafficking of scores of minors and young women, only one person - Ghislaine Maxwell - is now in prison?Have they turned a blind eye to the activities of other offenders? For example, reports against a number of women convicted of sex trafficking for Epstein have been allowed to rot on the vine. Prosecutors had been called on to press charges against four people who had been barred from prosecution following Maxwell's arrest, in the aftermath of Maxwell's deposition.

Just over a year after settling the multi-million dollar lawsuit brought by Virginia Giuffre in 2022, the Duke of York has been drawn into the sex scandal surrounding his paedophile friend. Former US President Bill Clinton says he likes them young, and one suspected Epstein perpetrator has also stated in nearly 1,000 pages published by a US court, and there was a suggestion that Professor Stephen Hawking was involved in a sex party. Since being enrolled in Epstein's suspected sex slaves, identified only as Jane Doe 3, has reported that she was advised to have intercourse with Prince Andrew during an orgy. According to a 2014 court filing, she was "forced to have sexual relations with this prince when she was a juvenile in three separate geographical regions." She claims this happened in London (at Ghislaine Maxwell's apartment) in New York, and on Epstein's private island in the US Virgin Islands (in an orgy with many other under-age girls).' Epstein told Jane Doe 3 to 'give the Prince whatever he ordered,' according to the newly unsealed docs.' Ghislaine Maxwell is accused of facilitating Prince Andrew's sexual harassment by acting as a "madame" for Epstein, according to Jane Doe 3. Following a US judge's order last month, the names of more than 170 individuals who were either associates, acquaintances, or victims of Epstein are set to be revealed. On Wednesday evening, the first tranche of documents was published, with high-profile personalities such as the Duke of York and former US President Bill Clinton leading heavily. Donald Trump, Michael Jackson, Stephen Hawking, David Copperfield, Alan Dershowitz, and many others are among the many references. Following the unveiling of documents relating to Jeffrey Epstein by a New York court, Virginia Giuffre, one of the paedophile financier's victims, told X, noting that one of the documents that had been leaked had crashed. 'We broke the website,' she wrote.'

When Slumdog Millionaire first debuted in theaters 15 years ago, it shocked not only the world of cinema, but also the world as a whole. Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) is the subject of the hit 2008 film, which was inspired by the novel Q&A series, as he defends allegations that he cheated on the Indian version of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and discusses how he got there.

The first author to win the Women's Prize for Fiction twice has revealed she is'mad' because the female-only award exists. Barbara Kingslover (pictured) said that modern literature is still struggling with a respect gap, and that books by women are still not 'discussed or reviewed' in the same way as their male counterparts. After judges unanimously picked her 10th book Demon Copperhead earlier this month, the US author, 68, made history by winning the Women's Prize for Fiction for the second time.

Sian Boyle sets out to explore the city's 'lesser-known salubrious delights', writing: 'As we touch down on the runway, the blazing landmarks of London, Paris and New York all light up as skyscraper hotels, I can't help wonder: can Sin City really be done virtuously?' Here's her verdict:

Forget diamond ratings; these hotels now have screen actors to help their curb appeal. Away from the limelight, a crew of celebrities have turned their hand to hospitality and changed the name of hotels. Doris Day, a resident of California, was the owner of a pet-friendly home for more than 20 years before her death in 2019, but David Copperfield remains the proud owner of a private island resort in the Bahamas, which rents out for $50,000 per night.
