    Kanye West reveals which celebrity he and wife Bianca Censori would have THREESOME with in shock revelation (and there’s a political connection!) – amid rapper’s battery police probe

    Kanye West has revealed which celebrity he and wife Bianca Censori would have a threesome with his latest shock interview.

    Just days after rapper West was named a battery suspect after an incident in Los Angeles, the star, 46, dished all on his love life in a candid chat with The Download podcast.

    Flashing his titanium teeth, the giddy rapper looked deep in thought as he was asked by host Justin Laboy what famous woman he would have a threesome with – before responding: ‘Michelle Obama!’

    He then added: ‘You gotta f*** the President’s wife!’

    Michelle Obama was First Lady of the United States from 2009-2017 – being married to former president Barack Obama.

    Kanye West has revealed which celebrity he and wife Bianca Censori would have a threesome with his latest shock interview

    Back in 2013 West famously ignited uproar after claiming then fiancee Kim Kardashian was more influential than Michelle.

    He said: ‘There’s no way Kim Kardashian shouldn’t be on the cover of Vogue. She’s like the most intriguing woman right now. She’s got Barbara Walters calling her like everyday.

    ‘And collectively, we’re the most influential with clothing. No one is looking at what [Barack Obama] is wearing. Michelle Obama cannot Instagram a [bikini] pic like what my girl Instagrammed the other day.’

    This comes after the rapper got into an altercation with a man wife Censori, 29, claims physically and sexually assaulted her at the Chateau Marmont on Wednesday.

    Now a new report surfaced on TMZ, claiming West punched one half of a set of twins who own numerous L.A. bars and restaurants… adding West actually punched the wrong one.

    The twins are Mark and Jonnie Houston, who own L.A. hotspots such as No Vacancy, Good Times at Davey Wayne’s, Black Rabbit Rose and Break Room 86.

    West and Censori are claiming that Censori bumped into one of the brothers and that he proceeded to assault her.

    However, sources are claiming there is no evidence to back up those claims, with TMZ’s sources calling Censori’s allegations, ‘totally off base and simply not accurate.’

    Sources claim that a man bumped into Censori in the Chateau Marmont lobby, which was said to be quite busy at that time.

    The incident happened quickly and the man went on his way, heading outside to sit with some friends.

    Shortly thereafter, West came up to the table to confront the man, ultimately punching the man in the face.

    However, West apparently hit the wrong man – the other twin and not the one who bumped into his girlfriend in the lobby.

    It isn’t clear at this time which of the twins ran into Censori and which one was ultimately punched by West.

    The Houston twins are said to frequent the Chateau Marmont quite a bit though it’s unclear if they’ve interacted with West before.

    The rapper left the hotel after the incident, long before police arrived, with cops reportedly wanting to talk to West after the altercation.

    An investigation is under way, and it will be sent to the City Attorney for review to see if any official charges will be filed.

    Despite no evidence being found, West’s team is adamant that Censori was assaulted that night.

    ‘This was a physical, sexual assault and any attempt to undermine the seriousness of what happened is repellent and vile,’ one of Kanye’s reps said in a statement.

  • Lewis Hamilton is left frustrated once again after finishing in 18th place in qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix as Max Verstappen takes pole

    Lewis Hamilton is left frustrated once again after finishing in 18th place in qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix as Max Verstappen takes pole

    How fortunes can change in the space of only a few hours.

    On Saturday morning there was a smile the size of the Huangpu etched across Lewis Hamilton’s face after he claimed second in the first sprint race of the season in Shanghai. A moment of sweet relief amidst a season of setbacks for Mercedes and Hamilton.

    A short while later and Hamilton was still, somehow, able to muster a grin.

     

    But this time his expression did not tell the full story of what had just unfolded in qualifying for Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix as Hamilton failed to make it out of Q1 for the first time since the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in 2022.

    The finger of blame cannot be pointed solely at the car for Hamilton’s showing. Not this time.

    Instead it was driver error that sees Hamilton start a race he has won more times than any other driver from 18th. Yes, do not adjust your TV sets. 18th.

    Toto Wolff’s reaction told the full story. Mercedes’ team boss sank back into his chair and gazed into the heavens after watching what had unfolded.

    On his final opportunity to make it into Q2 and with the wind swirling around the twisting corners and long straights of this circuit, Hamilton overshot it at the hairpin turn 14.

    That misjudgement proved to be a fatal one. And with that, the seven-time world champion’s day was over.

    ‘I couldn’t make it around 14. I lost it at 14,’ said Hamilton, who has now failed to qualify inside the top six in the last eight races.

    ‘We made massive changes going into qualifying, we wanted to experiment. George decided to go one way, much different to what we had because we both had pretty much the same before.

    ‘I went this other direction just to see if we could find something. It didn’t feel terrible but I just couldn’t stop the car at 14.

    ‘When I was making the setup changes, I was like “it can’t get any worse, surely”… and it did. S*** happens.’

    Hamilton may have been able to brush off his mishap but it was a blunder which drew strong criticism from former team-mate and Sky Sports commentator Nico Rosberg.

    The German, who shared a frosty relationship with Hamilton when they occupied the Mercedes garage together, didn’t hold back with his assessment of Hamilton’s performance.

    ‘That is seriously painful,’ said former world champion Rosberg. ‘He had a great lap until then. It was really unnecessary to push the limit and as a seven-time world champion that is a mistake which should be avoidable.

    ‘It’s three metres too late and he had the brake balance too far forward. He lost at least four tenths which easily would have put him in Q2. That’s a disaster.’

    When asked about those comments, Hamilton replied: ‘I don’t blame anything on the team. It wasn’t one of my best qualifying laps.

    ‘S*** happens you know, sometimes you get it right, sometimes you get it wrong. This car is on a knife-edge, as you know, so it can easily do what we had. But I’ll have some fun with it.’

    At the front of the pack, it was business as usual for Max Verstappen who followed up his sprint race victory earlier in the day by claiming pole for Sunday’s race.

    The Red Bull driver was head and shoulders above the rest of the field, finishing three tenths of a second ahead of closest rival and team-mate Sergio Perez, who secured a front row lock-out for the Austrian team.

    Verstappen’s first pole in China was his team’s 100th in the sport and saw the Dutchman become the only the fifth driver to claim pole in the opening five races of the season and the first since Mika Hakkinen did so in 1999.

    ‘After the sprint race, it gave us a few more ideas for the car and I think the car worked even better in qualifying,’ said Verstappen.

    ‘Definitely very happy with how the whole of qualifying went. The car was really nice to drive and also in Q3, that final lap felt pretty decent.

    ‘I’m also very happy to drive here in the dry. The conditions were pretty good, so it was a lot of fun.’

    Carlos Sainz recovered from a spectacular crash in Q2 to make it through to the final qualifying session but could only post the seventh-quickest time, meaning he will start one place behind team-mate Charles Leclerc.

    Lando Norris led the charge for the Brits, bouncing back from a disastrous display in the sprint race, where he had dropped from first to seventh by the second corner, to secure fourth spot on the grid.

    George Russell also made it into Q3 but will have to work his way through the pack as he starts eighth. What his team-mate Hamilton would give for that starting position, though, given the arduous assignment which lies ahead for him on Sunday.

    Christian Horner bites back at Lando Norris’ ‘BORING’ Max Verstappen claim… insisting the Red Bull driver’s dominance is a ‘golden moment’ for him and F1

    Christian Horner has knocked back criticism that Max Verstappen‘s stranglehold on Formula One is ‘boring’ by describing his star driver’s unstoppable form as a ‘golden moment’.

    Verstappen claimed his fourth win from the five rounds so far this season with a commanding drive at Sunday’s Chinese Grand Prix to establish a 25-point championship lead.

    The Dutch driver has failed to triumph at only two of the last 23 races staged in the sport, and he is the overwhelming favourite to secure a fourth world crown in as many seasons.

     

    Speaking prior to Sunday’s race, Lando Norris, who finished runner-up to Verstappen in Shanghai, admitted that seeing the ‘same driver win without a fight is boring’, and a ‘turn-off’ for fans.

    But addressing claims that Verstappen’s dominance is damaging the sport, Red Bull team principal Horner said: ‘You have to appreciate success. Max is a special talent and this is a golden moment for him.

    ‘As we have seen with every single driver in the past, it doesn’t last forever. It is about enjoying the moment and being in the moment and there are no guarantees we can give him a car like this for the next five years.

    ‘Max is just a metronome. The pace he showed last year, he has continued that through.

    ‘And since the last Chinese Grand Prix in 2019, he has won 50 per cent of all the races. He has won 21 out of the last 23 races. He is in fantastic form, at one with the car and the team and enjoying his racing.’

    Verstappen also won the first sprint round of the season in Shanghai.

    The dash to the chequered flag took place before qualifying for Sunday’s main event in a rejig this year.

    Verstappen, 26, has often criticised the format, and although he agreed the new schedule is better than in previous years, he urged F1 bosses not to increase the number of sprints – which is set at six this season.

    ‘The sprint format was more straightforward that it has been but let’s not overdo it,’ said the triple world champion.

    ‘We are already doing 24 races in a season and six of these sprint events, too. I guess it sells better and the television audience numbers increase, but it also increases the pressure on the mechanics to ensure everything is tip-top.

    ‘So, we have to deal with it, but let’s not now think that we need 12 of these (sprints) because it will take its toll on people in the sport.’

    Fernando Alonso responds to suggestions Taylor Swift took a jab at him in her new album The Tortured Poets Department by featuring in hilarious TikTok after rumoured romance

    Fernando Alonso has jokingly responded to suggestions that he was referenced by Taylor Swift in the singer’s new album.

    Formula One fans were adamant that Swift took a jab at Alonso on her song ‘imgonnagetyouback’, which features on her album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.

    Prior to Swift’s current relationship with American football star Travis Kelce, she was rumoured to be dating Alonso, who drives for Aston Martin, last year.

     

    In the song Swift mentions an Aston Martin being steered into a ditch.

    Alonso has now joked about the situation by featuring in a TikTok video on the official AstonMartinF1 page in which he is seen listening to the song and putting his finger to his lips.

    Fans believe that Swift took a jab at Alonso on her new song ‘imgonnagetyouback’

    Swift sings: ‘Small talk, big walk, act like I don’t care what you did I’m an Aston Martin that you steered straight into the ditch.

    ‘Then ran and hid. And I’ll tell you one thing, honey. I can take the upper hand and touch your body. Flip the script and leave you like a dumb house party. Or I might just love you ’til the end (Ah-ah-ah).’

    Swift is known for frequently referencing her previous relationships in her songs.

    Alonso joined the Aston Martin team ahead of the 2023 season after switching from Alpine.

    Neither Swift or Alonso confirmed their romance at the time, but there has been much speculation online.

    After the song was released, many fans on X commented on the apparent romance between Swift and Alonsp.

    One Formula One fan wrote: ‘Wait….. did they actually date then?’.

    Another stated: ‘Taylonso will never die’.

    Meanwhile, another wrote: ‘Shading Fernando Alonso like that is crazy your relationship was not that long dramatic girl’.

    Another user added: ‘FERNANDO ALONSO WHAT DID YOU DO TO TAYLOR SWIFT’.

    Formula One fans claim Taylor Swift had a dig at Fernando Alonso in her new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ after singer’s rumored romance with the Spaniard last year

    Formula One fans claim Taylor Swift took a jab at driver Fernando Alonso in her new album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ after the duo’s rumored romance last year.

    Before Swift was wrapped in Travis Kelce‘s arms, she was rumored to be dating Alonso, the 42-year-old who drives for Aston Martin in Formula One.

    The double album, which was released Friday at midnight features the song ‘imgonnagetyouback’.

     

    In the track, Swift sings about an Aston Martin falling in a ditch.

    Swift’s musical catalog is full of songs about current and former flings, such as Harry Styles and Joe Jonas. Now, Alonso could be in the 14-time Grammy Award winner’s crosshairs.

    Swift nor the 42-year-old Alonso confirmed their romance, but internet rumors have taken a life of their own, especially since ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ was released.

    ‘Wait….. did they actually date then?’ one Formula One fan said online.

    ‘Taylonso will never die,’ another racing fan stated.

    ‘Shading Fernando Alonso like that is crazy your relationship was not that long dramatic girl,’ wrote another.

    ‘FERNANDO ALONSO WHAT DID YOU DO TO TAYLOR SWIFT’, commented another.

    Swift and Kelce have been publicly dating since last September, when she attended a Kansas City Chiefs game against the Chicago Bears.

    And the penultimate song of her new album appears to contain multiple references to football and the three-time Super Bowl winner.

    ‘The Alchemy’, the 15th song on ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ went viral in the minutes following the album’s midnight release. The bridge of the song is where the references to Kelce are the most obvious.

    ‘Cheers chanting ’cause they said / There was no chance / Trying to be the greatest in the league / Where’s the trophy?/ He just comes running over to me,’ she sings.

    Then the chorus kicks in: ‘Touch down / Call the amateurs and cut them from the team / Ditch the clowns, get the crown, baby I’m the one to beat / ‘Cause the sign on your heart said it’s still reserved for me / Honestly, who are we to fight the alchemy?’

    Other parts of the song refer to ‘blokes warm[ing] the benches’.

  • F1 Expert Has Suggested an Idea to Reward the Midfield Teams Amidst Discussion of New Points System

    The ever-changing Formula 1 is proposing yet another change ahead of the upcoming season. Keeping in mind the increasing competitiveness and the massive impact every point has on a team, the FIA and FOM (Formula One Management) are proposing a new points system. The proposed points system is aimed at rewarding the teams battling in the midfield. F1 expert Karun Chandhok has made some suggestions for this promising proposition.

    Not just for the team battling in the midfield, Chandhok’s proposition could make the overall sport better. He tweeted, “Here’s an idea – the extra income the FIA gets from these teams scoring points should be used for employing permanent stewards for consistency instead of relying on a rotation of volunteers.”

    “They have a tough job and there’s no way 4 humans will ever have the same view on an incident but at least if it’s the same 4 every time we get consistency,” he concluded. It must be clear now that most races don’t have the same four stewards. The volunteer stewards are employed on a rotational system given the feasibility.

    This has often created a lot of chaos and backlash for some penalties and calls by the stewards. So, Chandhok is suggesting the FIA employs the same stewards for the entire season.

    Such an arrangement can increase the consistency of the calls and penalties being awarded during the race. So, more points for everyone and consistency with stewards’ decisions. Sounds like a dream, but it’s on the verge of coming true, at least one part of it.

    The new proposed F1 points system is getting all the support it needs

    The new F1 points system will effectively extend to P12 making room for two extra cars in the points. This suggestion has come after increased competitiveness in the sport and midfield teams suffering.

    So, awarding points to the top 12 finishers instead of 10 will give the midfield battle more weightage. This change is proposed to help the bottom 5 teams, who hardly score any points.

    It is evident with the current standings as the three teams [Sauber, Williams, and Alpine] are still with zero points whereas the 6th and 7th-placed teams [RB and Haas] have 7 and 5 respectively. The new points system will change that with the teams not going home empty-handed after a hard-fought P11 or P12.

    The entire grid including the top teams is receiving this idea well. “I’m not against. And coming from Alfa Romeo [Sauber], I perfectly understand sometimes the frustration,” said the Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur as quoted by Autosport. His Red Bull counterpart Christian Horner was also “impartial to it.” All midfield teams are naturally in favor of the rule change.

    So, keeping the championship battle intact, the proposed points system will change from P8 onwards. Instead of 4, the eight-placed finisher will be awarded five points and then go down to P12 with one less point for every position thereon. So P8 – 5 points, P9 – 4 points, P10 – 3 points, P11 – 2 points, and finally P12 – 1 point.

    Carlos Sainz has made himself perhaps the most sought-after driver on the grid without a valid contract. The recent uptick in his performances has proved to the entire grid what he brings to the table. So, even though he doesn’t have a seat for 2025, the Spaniard is in a strong position. In fact, according to Nico Rosberg, the 29-year-old is in such a strong position that he’s busy negotiating for a few extra million with the best team on the grid.

    The German told Sky Sports he believes the outgoing Ferrari man already has a contract to table. The contract is from none other than the reigning champions Red Bull. The Red Bull family wants its old driver back but Rosberg also believes the details of the contract are still being worked on.

    As quoted by F1 Maximaal, he said, “They made an offer to Carlos Sainz, and I saw his father talking to Christian Horner this weekend. It seems that Horner was a bit stingy with the offer, so I suspect they are trying to get a few million extra.” Sainz is not letting his current form go to waste.

    The Spaniard anyway has just three options on the table in Red Bull, Mercedes, and Audi, with Aston Martin already locked. Out of the three, it seems that Sainz plans to go for the best.

    In his current form, the #55 driver will be incredible in the Red Bull car. However, the negotiations are perhaps at a stalemate because the expectations don’t match the offer. This could’ve been Audi’s doing.

    Audi’s mega offer coming in the way of Carlos Sainz’s Red Bull negotiations

    Sauber is also in the market for top drivers in preparation for the Audi overhaul. Among many, they naturally set their sights on Carlos Sainz. With his father’s connection to the German automakers, there was a high possibility of Sainz joining Sauber in 2025.

    Those rumors have been stalled. However, according to various reports and Red Bull’s advisor Dr. Helmut Marko’s admission, Audi made a mega offer for the Spaniard’s services.

    Even though Christian Horner denied those claims and any knowledge of Audi’s offer, the recent comments from Rosberg does make one wonder. Perhaps Sainz Sr. was in conversation with Horner to discuss his son’s yearly remuneration at Red Bull. He might be using the Audi mega offer that Red Bull can’t match as leverage. This is how the Red Bull hierarchy must’ve come to know about the unmatchable offer.

    However, these are all conversations in the background. This is exactly why the Red Bull boss denied any claims of such knowledge. No one knows what’s happening in this silly season and where Sainz might end up. Yet, the outspoken Nico Rosberg has given the entire F1 world a lot to speculate about.

    Max Verstappen is on top of the F1 world and is enjoying life being at the pinnacle of the sport he loves. Consequently, the Dutchman doesn’t bother much about outside accolades. So, when he got to know about his recent honor of being included in Time’s list of 100 Most Influential People in the World, the three-time champion humbly downplayed it.

    Verstappen is once again leading the F1 drivers’ championship standings this year and many expect to win his fourth consecutive World Championship. It will add to his legacy, making him an even bigger legend of the sport at the age of just 26 (27 when he potentially lifts the championship). But, that is all that Verstappen wants. Featuring in lists that don’t have any link to F1 doesn’t interest him.

    In a conversation with Viaplay, the Red Bull driver said,

    “It’s not why I do this. I’m here to race and these things come with it. It doesn’t change my life. It doesn’t make me a better person.”

    Verstappen is proud of his achievements in the world of F1, and there are surely more to come. However, getting accolades for being one of the Most Influential People or one of the Highest Paid athletes may not add to his pride.

    Why Max Verstappen was Included in Time’s Top 100 List

    Max Verstappen has been the most dominant driver in F1 over the last three years. He won three consecutive Championships and has gone on to become the face of the sport, thanks to being on the top step of the podium practically in almost every race weekend.

    Time took notice of this. On their website, Sean Gregory writes that no athlete has experienced as much victory as Verstappen has over the last year. In the 2023 F1 season, Verstappen won 19 out of 22 races; a feat previously unheard of in the world of F1.

    The website says,

    Verstappen, who races under the Dutch flag, is so confident behind the wheel that during at least one race he’s been able to keep an eye on the screens around the track in order to watch the battle going on behind him”

    The Dutchman’s dominance is not showing signs of stopping anytime soon. The 26-year-old, most recently, cruised to victory at the Chinese GP and will be looking to do the same in Miami in two weeks.

    Currently, Verstappen stands at 58 race wins and has stitched two streaks of ten consecutive race wins since last year started. The way in which he has started the 2024 season, many expect the Red Bull driver to topple more records this year.

    Lewis Hamilton will complete a life-long dream in 2025 when he dons the red overalls of Ferrari, representing F1’s most iconic outfit. One factor, however, that compels him to end his decade-long association with Mercedes is their on-track struggles. F1 pundit Karun Chandhok lauds the Briton for making a wise decision in that respect.

    Hamilton has been with Mercedes since 2013 and won six of his seven World Championships with the Brackley-based team. After the regulation changes of 2022, Mercedes entered a slump and their performance keeps getting worse with each passing season.

    Chandhok states that Hamilton saw this drop-off and didn’t want to linger around for too long. In a segment on Sky Sports, he said,

    “Lewis Hamilton must have a crystal ball. He made that switch. We’re sitting here, we’re only five weekends in and Mercedes are 99 points behind Ferrari.”

    Chandhok went on to refer to the recently concluded Chinese GP to point out that even on Ferrari’s worst day of the season, they were comfortably ahead of Mercedes.

    Lewis Hamilton’s miserable weekend in China

    Lewis Hamilton’s Chinese GP weekend started on a positive note, owing to his P2 finish in the Sprint race. However, in the very next session [Grand Prix qualifying], he made a mistake in his final Q1 run which limited him to a P18 position on the starting grid.

    During the race too, Hamilton struggled to make up places and complained about the W15’s pace on several occasions. Still, he fought and got two points for Mercedes with a P9 finish.

    Hamilton’s teammate George Russell too isn’t faring too well either. The young Brit has outperformed Hamilton so far this campaign, but not by much. In China, Russell finished P6 in what was a rather lackluster race for the 26-year-old.

    Hamilton is currently P9 in the drivers’ Championship standings with 19 points to his name – statistically his worst start to a season barring 2009. Long-term results at Mercedes won’t bother Hamilton much though, as the Stevenage-born driver is jumping ship to Ferrari in eight months.

    Last month, Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc launched his own low-calorie ice-cream brand named ‘Lec’. Adding a personal touch to it, the brand received a lot of attention and the ones who got their hands on it relayed positive reviews. However, mixing the cut-throat world of Formula 1 and business, 2016 world champion Nico Rosberg sparks a rivalry with Leclerc.

    During the Chinese GP, Sky Sports’ Ted Kravitz went over to Rosberg and reminded him that Leclerc had joined him in the ice cream business. To this, the German said,

    “Yes he has, yeah. He’s gone a bit bigger than me though. I just have a shop. He’s built a whole empire.”

    After accepting the varying scales of the operation, when Kravitz asked if his shop would feature some Lec tubs, Rosberg fired back. He said,

    “No way, ours is much better. We’re in Ibiza and ours is much better.”

    Rosberg’s ice cream venture started in Ibiza (Spain) where he owns a gelato shop called Vivi’s Creamery Ibiza. It was voted as the number one creamery on the island and this beautiful boutique shop is run by Rosberg’s wife Vivian. Per the former Mercedes driver, homemade gelato served at his small shop will beat Leclerc’s large scale manufacturing process any day.

    Charles Leclerc Vs Nico Rosberg ice cream: Which brand has more to offer and for how much?

    Comparing the two drivers’ ice cream ventures in terms of availability, Lec comes out on top instantly as the Monegasque’s brand is meant to reach the masses. Even though Lec is only available in Italy, the target audience is much larger. Vivi’s Creamery is limited to Ibiza and just one store.

    However, where it lacks in reach, it makes up for it in variety. Vivi’s Creamery is an ice-cafe and offers everything a gelato parlor and cafe would offer. From vegan and gluten-free, to health-conscious items on the menu, Vivi’s Creamery offers plenty of options to customers, including seasonal gelato flavors. The creamery also offers its customers an option to make their own ice cream on the cold stone.

    Lec on the other hand, has only five flavors; namely- peanut caramel tango, swirly pistachi-oh!, chocolate crunch, vanillove, salty caramel. One tub costs 4.99 euros [$5.36] and has just 370 kcal. For people looking to keep their calorie intake in check, Leclerc’s brand would be the preferred choice.
