Winslet’s bed joke
KATE Winslet has joked she feels like a “full mattress” after overindulging in lockdown.
The actress told the Graham Norton Show the auto-correction when she tried to type “film actress” felt alarmingly accurate.
The 45-year-old said: “I’ve been making sourdough and now my arse is massive!”
CRIME boss Peter Gotti has died in jail aged 81.
The one-time Gambino chief and successor to notorious brother John “Dapper Don” Gotti, died of natural causes at the Federal Medical Centre in Butner, North Carolina, US.
Gotti, who spent more than 17 years behind bars after being sentenced to 25 years for racketeering and other charges in 2003, had recently been seeking an early release because of his poor health.
His lawyer James Craven said even “Stevie Wonder could see” the former mob boss was not dangerous.
Gotti, who was blind in one eye, had been suffering from thyroid problems, said Lewis Kasman, a former confidant of Gotti’s brother. Kasman described
Gotti as a “regular knockaround guy who didn’t let his title go to his head”.
Gotti was Gambino boss from 1999 to 2002 after John was jailed for murder and racketeering.
John, known as the Dapper Don because of his expensive suits and silvery swept-back hair, was serving a life term when he died of cancer aged 61 in 2002.
JOE Biden has carried out his first military action as President, launching a deadly airstrike on Syrian facilities used by Iran-backed militias.
The attack is claimed to have killed 22 fighters.
After barely a month in the White House, Biden struck following a rocket assault on a US base at Erbil International Airport in Northern Iraq.
The attack on February 15 killed a Filipino contractor with the States-led coalition and wounded six, including a National Guard soldier and four US contractors.
Officials said the US strikes were a small, careful military response in Al Bukamal.
A total of seven 500lb bombs dropped on a cluster of buildings at an unofficial crossing at the Syria-Iraq border used to smuggle weapons and fighters.
Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin said: “We’re confident that that target was being used by the same Shia militants that conducted the [February 15] strikes.”
Pentagon spokesman John Kirby added the attack “destroyed multiple facilities at a border control point used by a number of Iranianbacked militant groups”.
He claimed the groups included Kataib Hezbollah and Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, adding the US action was a “proportionate response”.
Kirby said it “sends an unambiguous message: President Biden will act to protect American and coalition personnel”.
He added the raids were meant to punish those behind the rocket attack but not to escalate hostilities with Iran.
Since Biden came to power last month, he has sought to renew talks on a nuclear deal predecessor Donald Trump had ended.
Kirby said: “We have acted in a deliberate manner that aims to de-escalate the overall situation in eastern Syria and Iraq.”
ABORTION clinics around Scotland should have “buffer zones” to prevent patients being harassed by protesters.
Sarah Masson, who is standing for the SNP in Edinburgh Western at May’s Holyrood election, has pledged her support to #BackOffScotland.
Local MSP, and Scots Lib Dem health spokesperson, Alex Cole-Hamilton has also backed the campaign.
It calls for legal powers to move pro-life campaigners at least 450 feet away from hospitals and clinics that provide abortion services.
Councillors in Edinburgh this week decided to back the campaign, which was started by Edinburgh University students in response to the harassment of women seeking abortion healthcare.
