Writer Salman Rushdie has made a public speech nine months after being stabbed and seriously injured onstage

YouTuber Adam22 has offered the outspoken influencer Andrew Tate the chance to sleep with his pornstar wife Lena the Plus, amid the controversy surrounding her scene with Jason Luv. For those not in the know and to give a brief summary of what has happened, Adam22 and Lena got married earlier in May of this year and hadn't filmed a scene with another man since their relationship began seven years ago. However, they agreed that Lena should film a scene with Luv after meeting him in Las Vegas back in January and spotting a potentially lucrative business opportunity. Since the scene, a war of words has erupted between the two men, especially after Adam22 was mocked online for allowing Lena to go through with the filming.

An odd moment occurred around halfway through their 23-minute conversation where Adam22 offered Tate the chance to film a scene with him and Lena. We won't transcribe the entire details of the NSFW proposal but if you are interested and are over the age of 18 then you can watch it here. Even before Tate had the chance to respond, Lena had turned down her husband's proposal which Tate always refused to entertain. The former kickboxer, who is currently facing charges in Romania for human trafficking and rape said: "There is zero percent chance of that happening and it's not because Lena is unattractive. It's because she is married to Adam and I have no interest in degenerative, pointless sex. "I've no interest in making a spectacle of myself. Even involving myself in things that I deem to be overall haram and pointless, is just something I wouldn't be interested in." At least, this doesn't mean that Adam22 will have to fork out for another Lamborghini for his wife like he did after she made her film with Luv. Have your say in our news democracy.

Comic genius often comes with a dark side, as Matthew Perry knew all too well. The Friends star, who died on Saturday, aged 54, battled against addiction to prescription drugs and alcohol for decades. And yet, he was known as a funny man – whose biting wit and mastery of sarcasm made him an icon in the eyes of millions. These two distinct, yet intrinsically linked, sides of his character no doubt helped him empathise with another legend of the big and silver screens: Batman. Indeed, Perry’s last Instagram post, shared just five days before his death referenced the comic book character – with the 54-year-old dubbing himself “Mattman”. Mourning fans were also quick to point out that the accompanying photo of Matty (as his friends called him) showed him relaxing in his outdoor hot tub at home in LA. On 28 October, that same jacuzzi would become the scene of his death, according to law enforcement sources. But this final post wasn’t the only indicator of the 17 Again actor’s fixation with Batman – his previous six were all allusions to the caped crusader. The first of the series, shared a week before his death, showed a home cinema room, with three screens set up to show the latest film in the franchise: The Batman. Others showed the iconic bat symbol in various settings, including carved into a Halloween pumpkin, with Perry repeatedly referring to himself as Mattman. The American-Canadian actor had long, and openly, celebrated his love of the comic book character. In a 2022 interview with GQ, he admitted that he once bought a 10,400-square-foot LA penthouse simply because it resembled the home of Christian Bale’s Batman in The Dark Knight. Perry’s reasoning at the time was apparently: “Bruce Wayne had a penthouse – I’m going to have one.” During the interview, he also revealed that he was building a dedicated Batman room in his new house (which he branded “a Matt cave”), with a pool table, large TV, and black sofa surrounded by shelves of his Batman paraphernalia. Probed on the reason for his obsession, Perry replied: “I am Batman.” He then explained: “Well, he’s a rich loner. We both drive black, cool cars.” He then conceded: “I don’t solve crime. But I’ve saved people’s lives.” In one of GQ’s ‘10 things I can’t live without’ segments, Perry shared further insight into his batty mania, saying that it began with the Christopher Nolan movies but extended to the latest instalment, staring Robert Pattinson. During the deadpan runthrough, he admitted that he had “too much Batman stuff”, but then ended the video by joking that after seeing all his essential items, viewers “should probably know by now that I'm Batman.” 10 Things Matthew Perry Can't Live Without | GQ www.youtube.com Perry’s fans and many of his 8.1 million Instagram followers speculated whether his most recent run of themed posts was more than just another outpouring of adoration for the franchise. They thought it was a hint that he’d been cast in a new Batman role, particularly given that one of the captions penned by Perry read: “Do you understand what I'm trying to tell you?” Still, all we know for sure is that Perry saw a lot of himself in Batman – or should that be, he saw a lot of Batman in himself? Regardless, the similarities are striking, especially when you consider what Perry once responded when asked what he’d like his legacy to be. “I would like to be remembered as somebody who lived well, loved well, was a seeker and his paramount thing is that he wants to help people,” he replied. The sentiment is an undeniable echo of one of Batman’s most famous quotes: “It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.” And what Perry did was make people laugh and cry and, ultimately, save lives.
