Shaquille O’Neal believes the earth is flat. SHAQ.

The legendary NBA player is the latest basketball star to come forward with the theory (seriously, there are many), speaking about it on his podcast:

So listen, I drive from coast to coast, and this sh*t is flat to me. I’m just saying. I do not go up and down at a 360-degree angle, and all that stuff about gravity… You mean to tell me China is under us? It’s not. The world is flat.

The Girls Aloud stars fell out in 2009, with Cheryl saying Nadine was “full of sh*t” for claiming the group decided to split without her in 2013.

Speaking to OK Magazine, Nuhdeen admitted she hadn’t seen her former bandmate in a “long time” but was delighted for her:

It’s the most exciting time, scary but wonderful. I haven’t seen her for a long time. I really, really haven’t. But I’m very happy for her and very excited for her.

The Sun has ‘uncovered’ one of new GBBO presenter Noel Fielding’s ‘X-rated’ songs, and they are SHOCKED, let us tell you. 

The comedian is in the band Loose Tapestries with Serge from Kasabian, and a disco-inspired song from their second album contains rather a lot of (jokey) references to drugs and sex.

The Sun fears that the tune will leave a ‘bad taste’ in GBBO viewers’ mouths, but we get the feeling that they haven’t heard much of Fielding’s comedy before:

To a Bee Gees-like disco rhythm Noel and Serge sing about getting “higher and higher”, while the crude phrase “c**ks in all directions, from flaccid to erections” is repeated. The tune concludes with a phone call comparing male ejaculation to the famous drip paintings of American artist Jackson Pollock.

Brilliant. Save us from the crude and rude comedy of Noel Fielding, The Sun!
