These days, I’m a great cook, but until maybe around 5-10 years ago, I was a bad cook who could throw together a pasta dish no problem. If there’s one thing I’ve always been able to do, it’s fire up a pasta dinner.

Kate Winslet

Kate Winslet said her iconic Titanic kissing scene with Leonardo DiCaprio was “not all it’s cracked up to be”.

“Oh my Lordy,” the British star told Vanity Fair while rewatching the scene from James Cameron’s 1997 Oscar-winning film again. “This might be really cringe.”

“See, I look at that and I just see how much I couldn’t breathe in that bloody corset,” she continued.

“Oh, this was a nightmare, shooting this, because Leo couldn’t stop laughing and we had... Читать дальше...

Sean Penn

Inveterate smoker Sean Penn apparently wouldn’t even let a White House visit get in the way of his habit.

The Oscar-winning actor said on Jimmy Kimmel’s US talk show earlier this week that he was at President Joe Biden’s state dinner for Kenyan President William Ruto last month.

Sean’s comment prompted the host to mention that the White House is a place where “you’re not supposed to smoke”.

The city of Offenbach approached us with a request to design a bus stop at a prominent location that would stand out from other urban stops – we readily accepted. Our vision was to create a bus stop as a poetic gesture in the urban space, catering to the location, passersby, and waiting passengers alike. Instead of a conventional bus stop shelter with a fixed view of the road, we chose a design that harmoniously blends into the urban setting at Offenbach’s high street. Replacing the old, worn orange tent-like structure... Читать дальше...
