Museu de Curiosidades #5 – Maxakalisaurus topai
Uma das maravilhas de entrar no Museu Nacional consiste na possibilidade de se deparar com gigantes da pré-história, sejam eles os incríveis predadores e seus enormes dentes afiados ou os simpáticos herbívoros pescoçudos de cauda longa. O protagonista do Museu de Curiosidades #5 é um desses gigantes, o Maxakalisaurus topai, que foi o primeiro dinossauro de grande porte brasileiro montado para exposição no país. A réplica da ossada desse titanossauro, que media aproximadamente 13 metros de comprimento e pesava cerca de nove toneladas, se encontra desde 2006 no Museu Nacional junto com alguns de seus fósseis de 80 milhões de anos, encontrados no município de Prata (MG). Seu nome foi dado em homenagem à tribo indígena dos Maxakali dessa região, e a Topa, uma de suas divindades.
O Maxakalissaurus topai faz parte da família dos titanossauros que tem como particularidade o formato do encaixe das vértebras caudais. Eles pertencem a infra-ordem dos saurópodes, que eram dinossauros com corpos enormes, cauda e pescoço bem longos, que terminavam em uma pequena cabeça comparada com todo seu tamanho – é o próprio estereótipo quando se trata de um dinossauro. Esses enormes herbívoros variavam, de um modo geral, entre seis e vinte metros de comprimento, embora tenha sido encontrado no Novo México (EUA) um saurópode que media aproximadamente 52 metros de comprimento e pesava entre 40 e 50 toneladas, o Seismosaurus halli, um verdadeiro gigante.
Os saurópodes, apesar de todo seu tamanho, tiveram origem no período Triássico, a partir de pequenos prossaurópodes com menos de 2 metros. Quando surgiram os primeiros saurópodes, no final desse mesmo período, eles já eram grandes dinossauros, porém não era esperado que atingissem tamanhos colossais. A proteção contra dinossauros predadores e um melhor alcance de plantas em árvores mais altas podem ter motivado esse crescimento, além de um aumento de eficiência energética (um animal mais maciço perde energia mais lentamente) e uma facilidade de digestão de plantas pouco nutritivas. Com o aumento de seu tamanho, esses répteis desenvolveram um eficiente sistema respiratório, com recurso a algumas vértebras pneumáticas, isto é, com estrutura que permite tanto o desenvolvimento de sacos aéreos que ajudam na respiração, como também na diminuição do peso dos ossos.

O fóssil do Maxakalisaurus topai foi encontrado durante a construção de uma estrada na região e pesava cerca de 6 toneladas. Grande parte desse esqueleto parcial, que foi encontrado com muitos de seus elementos quebrados, consiste em vértebras cervicais e dorsais, contendo também costelas que foram encontradas parcialmente articuladas. Para extraí-lo da terra foram necessários quatro anos de trabalho: de 1998 a 2002.

O profissional que é responsável por estudar esses ossos fossilizados é o paleontólogo, um cientista que a partir das evidências fornecidas pelos fósseis conhece um pouco mais sobre a vida na pré-história. Logo, a paleontologia (do grego “Palaios = antigo; ontos = ser; logos = estudo”), é a ciência que estuda o vasto registro fóssil da vida pré-histórica, é o estudo da vida antiga. Outro importante profissional que está diretamente relacionado com a réplica do titanossauro do Museu Nacional, é o paleoartista, artistas que dão vida a dinossauros como o Maxakalisaurus topai e a outros seres pré-históricos criando as reconstituições em vida desses animais que tanto encantam os olhos dos visitantes em museus. É através da paleoarte que podemos saber como eram alguns desses seres e o ambiente em que viveram. E é esse trabalho conjunto, dentro de museus de todo mundo, que acaba se transformando em uma importante forma de difusão das descobertas paleontológicas.

The cost for one of London’s most pricey apartments will begin at £35million – with 600
megarich customers already securing a spot on the waiting list.
Pricing details of billionaire John Caudwell’s spectacular 1 Mayfair development have now
been revealed and only those with the deepest pockets can hope to afford
one of the lavish pads.
The cheapest apartment on offer is expected to be
an eye-watering £35million – around 70 times the average cost of a house in the capital.
Due to complete in Spring 2026 the scheme will easily surpass London’s previous
record breaker, the £1.3billion One Hyde Park development in Knightsbridge.
Caudwell told The Standard that there are already more than 600 prospective buyers on a waiting list of billionaires and centi-millionaires who have expressed
an interest in making a purchase at the scheme.
There will be just 24 ‘principal residences’ in the property
including lateral apartments, penthouses and townhouses with
up to five bedrooms, and five more smaller ‘pieds-à-terre’ apartments.
The size of the homes has not yet been disclosed but the developers
say even the most modest property will start with a guide
price exceeded by only a handful of mansions
in London’s richest neighbourhoods.
The average price of all 29 units – which cover
300,000 sq ft – will be close to £70million.

Details of pricing at John Caudwell’s spectacular Mayfair development has now

Pictured: The building’s topping out ceremony
The entry level price of £35million is 70 times the average London property
value of around £500,000, and 130 times the national
average price of £268,000 revealed in today’s Nationwide house price survey for November.
The development’s basement is being dug down to 90ft below ground level
to make room for a health spa with a 20 metre swimming pool as
well as a car park.
The designs were led by New York based architect Robert Stern and practice RAMSA, with contractors,
Mace, the construction managers and PJ Carey responsible
for the creation of the basement substructure and superstructure.
Due to complete in Spring 2026 after a six years build the scheme will easily surpass London’s previous record breaker, the £1.3billion One Hyde Park development in Knightsbridge.

Caudwell – who founded the mobile phones retailers Phones 4u
– attended the topping out of 1 Mayfair alongside senior members of the construction team.
The ceremony was marked by the final steel rafter, one of 79 at roof level, being put
into place on the top of the nine-storey main apartment building.
No expense has been spared on the building’s interior and it will feature a ceiling with
hand-painted frescos based on Michelangelo’s Map of the
Heavens in the Vatican, a reception room with
a double height ceiling and 18ft high French windows
overlooking the garden.
There will also be a Palace of Versailles Hall of Mirrors-style crystal callery, created from over 1,264 hand-set pieces of cut glass, a library and a garden gallery, with seating
areas opening directly onto the central courtyard garden.

Australians have discovered an unlikely pop-up store offering shoppers ‘incredible’ deals on clothing, homewares, food, and
electronics.
The temporary Vinnies locations have been set up around Victoria to help shoppers get through the cost of living crisis
ravaging the country.
Vinnies, or the St Vincent de Paul Society, is a charity that works to provide support and assistance to people in need.
Most items are brand new stock donated by corporate partners including
Christmas decorations.
Popular bargains include $10 large jars of Biscoff, $2 bags
of Red Rock Deli chips, and discounted shoes from Boston Bros.
Shoppers will find men’s, women’s, and children’s clothing,
shoes from top brands, and even electrical goods at the Vinnies pop-up locations.
Many have purchased vacuums, air fryers, Adidas shoes,
printers, and kitchen knives from previous pop-up shops.
There is presently a location in Ascot Vale which is open until 3 November, and another in Boronia which will remain open until Christmas
– or until stock runs out.

A new store will open in Richmond at Dimmey’s on 7 November.
The themed Richmond location will focus on goods for Christmas, summer,
and the holiday season – but it will also include household items, Bric-à-brac, and
electrical items.
Shoppers have shared their thoughts on the pop-up locations online.
‘They have all the trending products – it’s so awesome,’ one said.
‘I bought a hair dryer from Vinnies and I’m obsessed with it,’ another wrote.
‘I always have such good luck at Vinnies, I have to go,’ a woman added.
For those interested in the finer things, shoppers have discovered a ‘hidden gem’
discount retailer where you can find designer buys from brands like Fendi, Dior, and Aje for
affordable prices.
TK Maxx – which has stores in New South Wales, Victoria,
Queensland and South Australia – is the answer to buying new clothes and shoes on a budget.

Beth Zazlan, from Queensland, recently found a gold mine of clothing
lines from Australian brands like Camilla and Marc, Acler, Bec+Bridge, Shona
Joy, Dion Lee, Zimmerman, and Acler.
‘I was there for a pillow but I ended up grabbing some sparkly earrings from [American jewellery brand]
Badgley Mischka,’ Beth told FEMAIL.
TK Maxx sells old stock from previous seasons – and shoppers have described
it as a ‘clearance treasure hunt’.
Many have seen bags from Fendi, Dior, and Bottega Venetta on sale.
Others have spotted Gucci and Versace sunglasses, Hugo Boss
accessories, and Christopher Esber dresses.
Beth said, ‘I was truly blown away – so if you’re looking for a bargain, head
there.’
A David Jones employee revealed in a comment that
discounted items from stores that aren’t sold are shipped to TK Maxx.

Nothing signals the start of winter quite like the return of the
Fair Isle knit. Once considered ‘ugly’ knitwear we’d only pull out from the back of our wardrobes
as an alternative to a Christmas jumper (especially the red-nosed reindeer
kind à la Mark Darcy in Bridget Jones’s Diary) or for a winter sport holiday (specifically for après-ski), the Fair Isle
jumper has now become somewhat of a fashion statement.
The knit is named after the small, eponymous Shetland Island in Scotland and
uses a traditional knitting technique to create those distinctive patterns with multiple colours.
It was brought into vogue by an earlier Prince of Wales (later Edward
VIII) in the 1920s, and has remained a casual wardrobe staple
for members of the Royal Family, including Kate Middleton, whose
jumper collection includes at least three different Fair Isle
designs.
Kensington Palace
Another fan of the nostalgic knit is Alexa Chung, who recently layered a
Fair Isle vest by Molly Goddard over a light blue button-down in a
snap for Instagram. The It-girl previously also wore a V-neck vest from Cotswolds-based knitwear brand
Cooking Apple, and sported a chunky Fair Isle crewneck with white, straight-leg jeans, black loafers and an oversized, black leather blazer to ring in the festive season at private members’ club in London last year.
A host of designers have dropped Fair Isle-inspired knits for AW24, proving the multicoloured
jumpers have become a timeless investment. If, as in our case,
that £1,885 cashmere turtleneck from Loro Piana is a
little out of your budget, there are countless options on the high street.
The cropped cardi from Hush certainly caught our attention, as did the Fair Isle knit that was featured in the John Lewis Christmas advert.

All six senior members of the new federal anti-corruption watchdog have accepted Qantas Chairman’s
Lounge memberships as calls grow to refer Anthony Albanese over the perks he took from the airline.
Gift disclosure logs for the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) leadership positions show commissioners are all
part of Australia’s ‘most exclusive club’ the Chairman’s Lounge membership extended by invite
only by the Qantas chair.
This has raised concerns over how impartial the body would be when dealing with Qantas matters.
If Mr Albanese has requested flight upgrades from former
Qantas CEO Alan Joyce directly, as reported in a new book, he may have
fallen foul of the strict Ministerial Code of Conduct which prohibits ministers from seeking ‘any kind of benefit’
Commissioner Paul Brereton declared Chairman’s Lounge membership in 2023, as did
the CEO Philip Reed and deputy commissioners Jaala Hinchcliffe and Nicole Rose, Sky News reported
on Wednesday.
Deputy commissioners Ben Gauntlett and Kylie Kilgour declared their membership in February
2024, which means it was after the NACC began operation in July 2023.

Inside the exclusive hideaway for the nation’s movers and shakers, where secret deals can be done
An NACC spokesperson confirmed the Commissioner, three deputy commissioners
and CEO are members of the Chairman’s lounge.
‘This does not impact the integrity of the Commission,’ the spokesman said.
‘Each of the statutory office holders has made appropriate declarations in regards to Chairman’s lounge membership in the
NACC Gifts and Benefits register.
‘Qantas is not a Commonwealth agency within the Commission’s jurisdiction.’
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton and his deputy Sussan Ley have
said the Prime Minister should refer himself to the NACC over
22 upgrades and extra Chairman’s Lounge memberships received from Qantas.
An insight into the type of service offered by the Chairman’s Lounges was offered by a job ad posted on employment
site Indeed for the one at Canberra Airport.
The ad, placed by hotel group Accor that Qantas contracts to run the lounges, stated they were seeking ‘a highly motivated Food
& Beverage Attendant to join our experienced and professional Front of House team’.
‘This role is based within the Chairman’s Lounge, a small fine dining
restaurant and lounge area that offers an a la carte menu designed by Neil
Perry Consulting,’ the ad states.
‘Service is discrete yet attentive, providing friendly
and efficient food and beverage offerings that meets our passengers’ expectations.’

A job ad for the Canberra Qantas Chairman’s Lounge sets out the
requirements to serve the high and mighty
Applicants must ‘have experience working in a fine dining environment and the ability
to work a seven- day rotating roster.
The claims Albanese received 22 upgrades from economy
when booking Qantas flight by personally requesting them from Mr Joyce are made in a new book
The Chairman’s Lounge by former Australian Financial Review columnist Joe
Aston.
Aston alleged Mr Albanese directly contacted Mr Joyce while in his various
parliamentary jobs, which included Minister for Transport to ask
for special upgrades that only the CEO could dole out for himself
or his family.
According to unnamed Qantas ‘insiders’ 11 of the 22 flights
Mr Albanese received upgrades for were ‘privately funded’ and included overseas trips to Rome, London, Los Angeles
and Honolulu.
The book also revealed that as well as son Nathan having
a ‘plus one’ Chairman’s Lounge membership Mr Albanese’s partner Jodie Haydon did as well.
Mr Albanese insisted on Tuesday that all were ‘declared in the appropriate way’.
WHAT IS THE QANTAS CHAIRMAN’S CLUB?
The Qantas Chairman’s Lounge is an invitation-only club approved by
the company chairman, with the guest list
a closely-guarded secret.
It has been dubbed ¿the most exclusive club in the country¿ and comes with a
distinct black card.
Members include senior-ranking MPs including ministers, state
premiers and the Prime Minister, leaders of major unions and sporting groups, Qantas ambassadors, selected A-list celebrities,
major corporate figures and high-profile media personalities.
The clubs can be found in Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide but are not signed,
you have to know where to look.
Inside you will find expensive wood and brass furnishings,
wool carpet and marble flooring all bathed in natural
light.
Members enjoy fine à la carte dining with a complimentary
premium array of beers, spirits and Australian wines.
Wine bottles are often given as departing gift
Facilities may also include spas, showers and an assortment of books
and magazines.
Members may bring in two guests at a time.
Lounge attendants personally alert you when your flight is to board
and your personal preferences are logged for each flight.
Membership also entitles you to first-class facilities at Qantas partner airlines.

Australian politicians are almost always opting to fly with Qantas on taxpayer-funded trips, despite Virgin offering
cheaper tickets.
Federal MPs flew with the national carrier for 80 per cent of work trips last year despite it not always being the cheapest route, according to travel data provided
to the government.
While politicians and their staffers are required to book the cheapest flight,
it also has to be the most efficient, with Qantas offering the most routes between major cities.
MPs are banned from accruing frequent flyer points on taxpayer-funded trips like ordinary Aussies can, but they can can receive lifetime status
credits, which allows access to airport lounges and flight upgrades.
‘How else can one explain the extraordinary dominance of Qantas in securing bookings by parliamentarians and their
staff?’ Myriam Robin wrote in an opinion piece for the Australian Financial Review.
‘There’s nothing like accruing status credits on someone else’s dime.’
Transport Minister Catherine King has since committed to a review of
flight bookings by government officials which will be conducted
by the Department of Finance this year, despite there being just two months left of 2024.
Politicians’ preference for Qantas may also be put down to the
airline’s exclusive invite-only ‘Chairman’s Lounge’.

EXCLUSIVE
The Flying Kanga-RORT – why you’re footing the
bill as airlines wine and dine pollies in VIP club
Daily Mail Australia in August revealed that nearly every single federal politician in the country has accepted free
membership of the club.
Qantas and the Albanese government have both
denied the airline enjoys any disproportionate level of influence over the
country’s political classes.
A Daily Mail Australia audit of the members’ interest registers – in both the House of Representatives and the Senate – revealed almost 93 per
cent of the nation’s leaders have been ‘gifted’ membership to
the lavish, all-inclusive lounge.
The high profile ranks of government giftees include Prime
Minister Anthony Albanese as well as every member of his 22-person Cabinet, his
seven-person Outer Ministry and all 12 assistant ministers.
While most politicians declared their Qantas’ privileges as a ‘gift’, Labor MP
Marion Scrymgour listed her membership as her ‘Chairman Lounge entitlement’.
Daily Mail Australia in August revealed that nearly every single federal politician in the country has accepted free membership of Qantas’ exclusive Chairman’s
Lounge.
And it’s not just politicians on the take, with more than 60 MPs – including Marles,
Chalmers, King, Bill Shorten, Zali Steggall and Tanya Plibersek – disclosing their spouses have also been granted unfettered, independent
access to Qantas’ luxurious members only lounge.
Often touted as ‘the most exclusive club in the country’, membership to the Chairman’s Lounge has
long been veiled in secrecy.
Even the entrances to each of the country’s six opulent VIP clubs – in Sydney, Melbourne,
Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Perth airports – are suitably discreet.
Though, once inside, the designer lounges are immediately
more ostentatious, with free à la carte fine dining,
table service, a decadent selection of wines and Champagne and a discreet army of dedicated lounge attendants.
Membership to the club is ‘priceless’ – it cannot be bought for any amount of money nor obtained
via any amount of frequent flyers points.
Instead, each member is hand-picked and approved by the company’s chief
executive and chairman.

Abbie Chatfield has shared a very telling throwback image of herself and
boyfriend Adam Hyde, six months before they went Instagram Official.
The veteran presenter, 29, and the Peking Duk frontman went public with their relationship in June.
However another racy photo, taken before they became a couple, captured Abbie and Adam waiting patiently together in a fast
food line, with the presenter looking absolutely smitten over the strapping musician.
Abbie had a huge smile on her face in the adorable picture,
as she gazed intensely at Adam as they chatted while waiting
to order.
She captioned the picture: ‘One year and two days since this iconic photo of me being in love with
Adam.
‘Before we ever even slept together LMAO. “Nah, I don’t have a crush on him anymore”.’

Celine Dion surprised fans by getting soaked with Gatorade on Sunday.
The 56-year-old singer — who recently blasted
Donald Trump for using her songs at a campaign rally without permission — had the orange sports drink poured on her during a surprise Sunday Night
Football intro appearance.
She referenced her song It’s All Coming Back to Me Now while discussing her ‘passion’ for the
Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers rivalry while
rocking a Super Bowl XXX sweater.
‘I think my favorite thing about this game is its power to
connect who we are to who we were, to prove our most powerful memories, our
most enduring loves can stay with us forever.
You know what I’m talking about, right?’ she said as her 1996 hit played.
‘Sometimes, some nights, it all just comes back,’ she added.
‘The love affair. Well, maybe not “love” the way I usually sing
about it. But still… work with me here.’

My Heart Will Go On co-writer Will Jennings dies at age 80
Comparing the song to her emotional ties to the sport she said: ‘I mean, “When you touch me like this, when you hold me like that.” It kinda fits, no?’
‘But really, what beautiful passion it produced, what painful heartbreak it revealed, so,
so long ago. Like so many old flames, it always feels right when they’re back together.
Don’t you think?’
The Dallas Cowboys and Pittsburgh Steelers rivalry has been alive since 1976 when the Steelers beat the Cowboys (21-17) during
Super Bowl X and Super Bowl XIII (35-31) in 1979.
But in 1996, the Cowboys reigned supreme in Super Bowl XXX,
beating the Steelers 27-17.
‘Like tonight, evoking the kind of magic they once
produced. The Cowboys and the Steelers, a timeless classic on Sunday Night,’
the My Heart Will Go On singer said.
Later in the video fans get a glimpse of Dion appearing surprised as she
got coolers full of Gatorade poured on her.
She was also shown cheering and reveling in the moment while sporting her soaked sweatshirt as liquid dripped off her face.
Earlier on Sunday, the NBC Sports teased her appearance by sharing a clip of the songstress donning
the Superbowl sweatshirt on their Tiktok account.

Lady Gaga is getting back to basics.
Following her panned performance in the flop movie Joker: Folie
à Deux, the New York City native, 38, is releasing a single titled Disease, set to be released Friday.

artist’s Instagram account, as she captioned the image:
‘DISEASE 10.25.’
In a teaser clip from the viewpoint of an approaching vehicle,
the actress-singer, whose real name is Stefani Germanotta, sported a black mane
as she ran from it.

Joker: Folie À Deux is branded ‘bleak’ and the ‘most disappointing
follow-up’ by critics
The singer, whose hits include Bad Romance, Born This Way, Just Dance and Poker Face, is
headed back to her pop persona following the September
release of her album Harlequin, which was inspired by Joker: Folie à Deux.
Among the tracks on the album included two new songs, and standards such as That’s Entertainment, That’s Life and Get Happy.
Like the film, it was not an initial commercial success, marking her lowest ever entry for a full-length record on the Billboard 200 charts at number 20.
Lady Gaga in the movie played the role of Harley Quinn opposite Joaquin Phoenix, who earned the Best Actor Oscar for his performance in the franchise’s 2019 film Joker.
According to the outlet, Joker: Folie à Deux ‘could potentially lose $150
to $200 million’ despite studio insiders saying it would break even.
The Warner Bros. film has made $192.2 million worldwide, with $56.6 million in domestic box office revenue,
according to Box Office Mojo.

In 2020, she put out the studio album Chromatica, which initially landed

Former first lady Melania Trump said she was completely comfortable with posing nude during her modeling days.
In her memoir Melania, which was released Tuesday, she recounts how her nude photos
were put on the cover of The New York Post during the closing weeks of the 2016 presidential election.
The tabloid used the ‘disgusting heaadline,’ as Melania described it, ‘Menage à
Trump.’
‘My upbringing in Europe had fostered a different perspective on nudity,
a more open and accepting attitude,’ she wrote. ‘We
were accustomed to beaches where nudity was commonplace,
a natural and uncontroversial aspect of life.’
She noted how ‘attitudes toward the female body
in the United States were starkly different.’
Melania Trump at a Vogue event in 2000. She wrote in her memoir Melania about her nude photographs shot for the French magazine Max in 1996 used against her husband politically
The controversial photos were from a 1996 photoshoot from a now defunct French fashion magazine called Max.
‘The photos had never been circulated in the United States,’ she recalled.
‘The magazine that had originally published them had ceased to exist
long before these images were unearthed, and now they were
being shared for the sole purpose of damaging Donald’s campaign.’
She wrote that the photos ‘were not a source of shame for me.’
‘The female form was once revered and honored in Western culture.
Historically, artists produced magnificent paintings and sculptures that exalted the beauty of the feminine figure.
Nudity was a medium through which humanity was elevated and celebrated,’ Melania sid.
‘This sentiment resonated deeply with me when I posed for
Vogue during my pregnancy,’ she wrote.
Throughout the book she mentions her working relationship with Vogue and its longtime top editor Anna Wintour.
These days Wintour is actively supporting former
President Donald Trump’s Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris.
A 1998 photo of Melania Trump depicting her in a white bikini.
The former first lady said she never felt shame about
posing nude but was angered that her nude modeling
photos were used to try to hurt her husband’s first presidential
campaign
‘I believed then, as I do now, that women should take pride
in their bodies, not feel shame,’ Melania continued.
‘During my modeling days, posing nude was commonplace and hardly scandalous,’ she
said. ‘To me, those images were artistic and tasteful, fitting for
a publication like Max, which showcased many renowned super-models.’
But there was another problem with the photographer selling the photos of Melania to the
newspaper – he originally said the photoshoot happened a year before.
‘This misinformation led to unfounded allegations that I had illegally worked
in the United States, a claim propagated by the New
York Post,’ she wrote.
‘Although the photographer later admitted the error, the damage was done – sensationalized lies about me spread worldwide, driven by a
shameful pursuit of scandal and profit,’ the former first lady added.

Joaquin Phoenix’s wife Rooney Mara blushed as he fixed
her dress on the red carpet at Academy Museum Gala in LA on Saturday.
For the star-studded affair located at the Academy Museum of
Motion Pictures, Rooney, 39, joined her dashing husband Joaquin, 49.
The couple – who ‘secretly wed’ recently – looked happier than ever as they
posed for sweet snaps on the carpet.
Rooney looked out of this world as she slipped
into a floral sheer dress and flashed her underwear underneath.
The glitzy gala had no shortage of A-list star power as
they were also joined by the likes of supermodel Kendall Jenner as well as fan-favorite actress and newly minted billionaire Selena Gomez.
Joaquin Phoenix’s, 49, wife Rooney Mara, 39, blushed as he fixed her dress on the red carpet at Academy Museum Gala in LA on Saturday
Rooney and Joaquin shared a sweet red carpet moment
Joaquin just confirmed Rooney (born Patricia) was his ‘wife’ during an episode of Sam Fragaso’s podcast Talk
Easy, last month.
Mara welcomed their second child in June, and she dressed her post-baby body
gorgeous sheer gown.
Phoenix (born Bottom) and the two-time Oscar nominee are also
parents of four-year-old son River Mara Phoenix named after Joaquin’s big brother who died, age 23,
from an overdose of morphine and cocaine on Halloween 1993.
‘I love it. I love it so much. I think it’s the best thing in the world,
‘ Rooney gushed of motherhood on the LaunchLeft Podcast last year.
‘It doesn’t feel like a two-actor house because I
didn’t work for the first three and a half years we were together.
Basically since we’ve been together, I only worked one or two times and one was really small and short.
It feels like a creative household, we’re constantly talking about creative things.’
The Phoenixes originally met in 2012 playing lovers
Theodore Twombly and Catherine Klausen on the LA set of Spike Jonze’s AI rom-com Her,
but they didn’t start dating until after her 2016 split from her Discovery director Charlie McDowell.
The acting couple went on to co-star in Garth Davis’
2018 Biblical drama Mary Magdalene and Gus Van Sant’s 2018 comedy Don’t
Worry, He Won’t Get Far on Foot.

It also features Lady Gaga, Zazie Beetz, Brendan Gleeson, Catherine Keener,
Jacob Lofland, and Harry Lawtey.
Thus far, Joker: Folie à Deux has a 60% critic approval rating (out of 58 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.
The 1981-set first film Joker made history in 2019 as the highest-grossing R-rated film
of all time, amassing $1.079B at the global box office despite mixed reviews.

The cost for one of London’s most pricey apartments will
begin at £35million – with 600 megarich customers already securing a spot on the waiting list.
Pricing details of billionaire John Caudwell’s spectacular 1 Mayfair development have now been revealed and only those with the
deepest pockets can hope to afford one of the
lavish pads.
The cheapest apartment on offer is expected to be an eye-watering £35million – around 70
times the average cost of a house in the capital.
Due to complete in Spring 2026 the scheme will easily surpass London’s previous record breaker, the £1.3billion One Hyde Park development in Knightsbridge.
Caudwell told The Standard that there are already more than 600 prospective buyers on a waiting list
of billionaires and centi-millionaires who have expressed an interest in making a purchase at the scheme.
There will be just 24 ‘principal residences’ in the property including lateral apartments, penthouses and townhouses with up to
five bedrooms, and five more smaller ‘pieds-à-terre’ apartments.
The size of the homes has not yet been disclosed but the developers say even the most modest property will start with a guide price exceeded by only a handful of mansions in London’s richest neighbourhoods.
The average price of all 29 units – which cover 300,
000 sq ft – will be close to £70million.

The entry level price of £35million is 70 times the average London property value of around £500,000, and 130 times
the national average price of £268,000 revealed in today’s Nationwide house price
survey for November.
The development’s basement is being dug down to 90ft below ground
level to make room for a health spa with a 20 metre swimming pool as well as a car park.
The designs were led by New York based architect Robert Stern and practice RAMSA, with
contractors, Mace, the construction managers and PJ Carey responsible for the creation of the basement substructure and
superstructure.
Due to complete in Spring 2026 after a six years build the scheme
will easily surpass London’s previous record breaker, the £1.3billion One Hyde

Caudwell – who founded the mobile phones retailers Phones 4u – attended the topping out of 1
Mayfair alongside senior members of the construction team.
The ceremony was marked by the final steel rafter, one of 79 at roof level, being put into place on the
top of the nine-storey main apartment building.
No expense has been spared on the building’s interior and it will feature a ceiling with hand-painted frescos based on Michelangelo’s Map of the Heavens in the Vatican, a reception room with a double height ceiling
and 18ft high French windows overlooking the garden.
There will also be a Palace of Versailles Hall of Mirrors-style crystal callery, created
from over 1,264 hand-set pieces of cut glass,
a library and a garden gallery, with seating areas opening directly
onto the central courtyard garden.

27, the 38-year-old is forging ahead with her next album,
which she described as both ‘fun’ and ‘darker.’
Speaking to Vogue magazine about the project, Gaga said that she’s
been focused on the production side of her new songs.
‘I love producing — I always have — and something that
was really important to me making my seventh studio album was
blending live instrumentation with programming,’ she
explained.
‘The album is chaotic from a genre perspective — it is genre-bending, and I think in that way is a deeply personal look into my mind as a producer and the way I
think about music.’
She also said that the album has a ‘darker pop’ sound that’s
more in line with her iconic 2009 album, The Fame Monster.
However, fans need not be worried that Gaga is going too somber
with her sound.
‘The album is not extremely serious in that it’s very fun and meant to be
enjoyed at a party, in a club, or at home having personal fun time — to be free
of your worries at home or walking through life,
‘ she insisted.
Lady Gaga is focused on releasing her seventh studio album this February following the
disappointing reception to lead single Disease
Gaga released the album’s lead single Disease last month to
rave reviews from music critics, who lauded it as a return to the star’s roots.
Unfortunately, the acclaim failed to translate to the charts,
with Disease debuting at No. 27 on the Hot 100 – her worst entry for a lead single in 16 years.
On the bright side, Gaga is currently enjoying one of her
biggest hits in years thanks to her Bruno Mars duet, Die With a Smile.
The ballad has so far reached No. 2 on the Hot 100 and No.
1 on the Pop Airplay Chart.
It comes after Gaga’s leading role in the disastrous Joker:
Folie à Deux.
The follow-up to the Oscar-winning 2019 film, starring Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck (Joker) and Gaga as Lee Quinzel (Harley Quinn), faced negative reviews from critics before its October 4 release and flopped at the box office.
Tim, 39, who played a guard at Arkham Asylum
in the movie, said Todd Philips’s new film has ‘no plot’ and admitted he knew it was ‘going to bomb’ while
filming.
Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Tim said: ‘It’s the worst film ever made.
Gaga told Vogue magazine that she’s been focused on the
production side of her new songs
Gaga released the album’s lead single Disease last month to rave
reviews from music critics, but the song flopped on the Hot 100
‘I think what happened, after the first Joker,
there was a lot of talk like, “Oh, this was loved by incels. This was loved by the wrong kinds of people. This sent the wrong kind of message. Male rage! Nihilism!” All these think pieces.
‘And then I think, “What if we went the other way,” and now they have Joaquin Phoenix
and Lady Gaga tap dancing to a point where it’s insane,’ he
continued.
‘It has no plot. We would sit there, me and these other guys
were all dressed in these security outfits because we’re working at the Arkham Asylum, and
I would turn to one of them and we’d hear this crap
and I’d go, “What the f*** is this?” And they’d go,
“This is going to bomb, man.” I go, “This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen.”
‘We were talking about it at lunch, and we’d go, “What is the plot? Is there a plot? I don’t know, I think he falls in love with her in the prison?” It’s
not even hate-watchable. That’s how terrible it is.’

There are many physical phenomena that can be modelled by sine waves:
Waves in water are an obvious example,
Compression and rarefaction in the propagation of sound,
Transmission of all electromagnetic radiation,
Vibrations of strings in Musical Instruments,
Bodies “bouncing” on a spring.
Also, more complicated motion can be modelled by a superposition of many
sine waves (using Fourier transforms). This enables complex motions

Lady Gaga proves she’s no diva as she gets down on the ground
to take selfies and sign autographs
In the accompanying artwork, Lady Gaga was wearing a short red wig,
smeared make-up, a white sheer slip dress, and a red life preserver while seated in a shower.
The standard vinyl version of Harlequin comes with a full-length poster of
the 13-time Grammy winner flashing her bra beneath a sheer T-shirt and
panties while removing blue stockings off her feet on a dingy bed.
The vinyl folds out to show Lady Gaga with red lipstick smeared on her face
into a smile just like the Joker while gazing into
a mirror.
Only three of the tracks – The Joker, Folie à Deux, and Happy Mistake – appear to
be original songs.
The remaining 10 tracks appear to be covers of classics like
the 1930 standard Get Happy, the 1938 spiritual Oh, When the Saints Go
Marching In, the 1932 jazz song I’ve Got the World on a String, and the 1966 Sweet Charity anthem If My Friends Could See Me Now.
Harlequin is not to be confused with Hildur Guðnadóttir’s score for
Joker: Folie à Deux, which will also be released on Friday alongside her new flick.
Lady Gaga – who scored a $12M paycheck for Folie à Deux – described her pyromaniac, Arkham State Hospital patient character as ‘an adult woman who
sings like a little girl.’
Announcing the new release to the social media site
last month, she shared the album cover in a post captioned:
‘Harlequin. September 27. A companion album to Joker: Folie à
Deux’
Mother Monster’s onscreen leading man Joaquin Phoenix actually asked her to dampen her
famous three-octave mezzo soprano pipes, telling Vogue:
‘She encouraged me to sing live and I encouraged her
to sing poorly.’
‘I remember asking her to sing without her vibrato. She has a beautiful vibrato — too
beautiful. I think she felt naked without it. But as soon as she moved away from technique she unlocked
her character’s voice.’
Lady Gaga – who gets 95.7M monthly listeners
on Spotify – tried ‘to undo all my technique’ while method
on the set of the R-rated jukebox musical.
‘It was a lot about kind of unlearning technique and forgetting how to breathe and allowing the song to completely
come out of the character,’ the Die With a Smile hitmaker revealed
at the Venice Film Festival press conference on September 4.

A source close to the couple told In Touch that ‘there are a lot of assets
on both sides, and a prenup will just make everything clear.’
Gaga ‘is worth $900 million, so of course there needs to
be a prenup in place,’ the insider said. ‘And Michael understands that.

March 24 (Reuters) – Marlboro maker Philip Morris International Inc is
working on options to exit the Russian market, citing a complex and
rapidly changing regulatory and operating environment in the country following its invasion of Ukraine.
The company, which garnered around 6% its net revenue from Russia in 2021, said on Thursday it has discontinued sale of several
cigarette products and canceled all product launches for
the year in Russia.
It has also canceled plans to make over 20 billion TEREA sticks, heated tobacco units intended for use with
its IQOS ILUMA devices, as well as related investment of $150
million.
Earlier this month, Philip Morris had suspended its planned investments and decided to scale down manufacturing operations in the country.
Rival Imperial Brands too has started talks to transfer its Russian business to a local third party, joining BAT in exiting the sanction-hit country.

Terrifier 3 star David Howard Thornton has broken his silence on the low-budget horror film demolishing $200m flop Joker:
Folie à Deux at the box office.
The grisly film – made for about $2 million – stars Thornton as homicidal clown Art who brutally murders an array of victims in stomach churning scenes – with the film knocking the starry Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga film off the top
of the US box office last week.
Thornton said the runaway success of his film had left him stunned as
he likened to battle of the two films to ‘David vs Goliath.’
He told TMZ: ‘Terrifier 3 was a small lower budget independent film…
I never expected this to happen in my life, I’m floored and
grateful for it all.
‘We’re grateful to the fans, we have a dedicated fanbase, we
weren’t beholden to the studio system.

Terrifier 3 dethrones Joker: Folie À Deux as box office champ
‘This shows Hollywood that we need to start making movies that take risks again.
The star said he had yet to see the panned Joker sequel, saying: ‘I was shocked too as the first Joker film I
loved, I’m curious to see why people aren’t as crazy
about the second one.’
Terrifier 3, written and directed by Damien Leone, is an un-rated
blood fest, which has received a 78-percent rating from
the critics on Rotten Tomatoes. Audiences have ‘certified’ it ‘hot’
and given it a healthy 90-percent on the popcornmeter.
The film earned $18.3 million at the box office according to The Numbers.
Landing in third place was Joker: Folie à Deux.
After winning the box office competition during its debut
weekend could not overcome the bad reviews, enduring an 82-percent decline in ticket sales.
The movie collected only $7.055 million, in spite of being in more than four
thousand theaters across the US.

The musical is ‘poised to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical run’
according to the publication.
The movie studio spent about $200 million to produce the film and about
$100 million on marketing and distribution, according to the report.
It would need to gross about $450 million at the box office to break even — when factoring in the
cut taken by theaters — though Warner Bros. sources claim the number is
$375 million.
A Warner Bros. spokesperson responded to the report, saying
‘Any estimates suggested by anonymous “insiders” or “rival executives” are grossly wrong
and continues a trend where rumor is reported as fact.’
‘The film continues to play in theatrical release, included with this week’s opening in China, and will continue to earn revenue throughout its home viewing and ancillary run.’
So far, the musical about Batman’s nemesis has grossed $51.5 million domestically and $165 million globally after two weeks of release.
The film is ‘poised to lose at least $150 million to $200 million in its theatrical run’ according to the publication
In comparison, the first Joker grossed $96.2 million domestically and $248.4 million globally after three days of release.
The hotly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 billion dollar Oscar-winning film was
considered a surefire hit for Warner Bros Pictures, yet ended
up being slammed by critics and failed to ignite at the box office.
Joker: Folie À Deux has garnered the lowest CinemaScore in comic
book movie history as the film bombed at the box office on opening night.
