'The Super Models' takes a few too many detours in its walk down memory lane
Nostalgia only goes so far with "The Super Models," a four-part Apple TV+ docuseries as glossy as a high-end fashion magazine of yore, and often as slim as one from the Internet age. Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista and Christy Turlington Burns lead this strut down memory lane, punctuated by occasional highlights but ultimately more celebratory than revelatory.

Friends learn of Princess Diana's death in real-time in historic viral video
It's 26 years to the day since Diana, Princess of Wales, died following a car crash in Paris, France along with her partner Dodi Fayed and driver Henri Paul. Diana was arguably the most famous woman in the world at the time and the level of devotion to her by the public will possibly never be seen again for a member of the Royal family. The outpouring of grief in the weeks that followed her death was unlike anything the UK has ever seen and the response was similar elsewhere around the world. One particular clip which sums this up is a now-viral video filmed by Alan Light who was playing cards with his friends in Iowa City, Iowa on that fateful night in 1997. Light was testing out his new camcorder and while everyone is in a good mood at the start of the video one of the friends does mention that Diana had been gravely injured because of the crash. They continue to play cards with CNN's coverage playing in the background. However, the atmosphere soon changes a few minutes into the video when CNN announces that Diana has passed away causing them to be utterly shellshocked by the news. Friends shocked to learn Princess Diana is dead (Historic 1997 video) www.youtube.com The rest of the near 7-minute video plays out with the friends quietly watching the coverage of the event on CNN. The video has been viewed more than 10 million times on YouTube alone and is considered to be one of the first ever reaction videos, even though the men involved at the time weren't aware of that. Since sharing the video in 2021, Light has been inundated with questions about why he was filming at that exact moment. He recently answered those queries in the comments section of the video. He wrote: "I recorded this home video in 1997 the night Diana died and it sat in a box for many years. Why was I recording? I was trying out a new camcorder by recording friends playing the card game UNO. When my mom called me to say that Diana was in a car crash I turned on the TV, on silent, and we kept playing the game while monitoring the text on the bottom of the TV screen. "When the screen text changed to "Diana dead" the true reality of the situation hit like a ton of bricks and we stopped playing UNO of course, and rushed over to the TV. This was recorded in America, in the state of Iowa. All of the guys in the video are still alive today (as of today, June 6, 2022). "The guy who screams when he learns Diana has died is my friend Ken who still lives in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. It is his genuine reaction to the news of Diana's death. Some people call it a "Wilhelm scream." (Apparently that's a movie term). The guy who stifles a smile after Ken's scream is Scott (his brief smile was a reaction to Ken's loud silly scream, NOT to Diana's death). "When CNN announced that Diana had died I didn't turn the camera back to the TV because my instinct was that it would be more interesting to capture my friends' reactions. Some people call this video the first of what are now called "reaction" videos, a term that didn't exist in 1997 (and neither did YouTube, which began in 2005)."

The 10 best quotes from Coleen Rooney's tell-all-Wagatha Christie interview
It was one of the biggest stories in recent years, and there was even a TV drama and a play about it all - but now Coleen Rooney has broken her silence on the Wagatha Christie case for the first time. In a tell-all interview with Vogue Magazine, the 37-year-old WAG - who is married to former Manchester United and England player Wayne Rooney - revealed what went through her mind before sharing the infamous tweet in 2019 and the following court battle. The tweet detailed the detective work she had undertaken to figure out who was leaking stories about her to The Sun newspaper. She did this by posting three fake stories and narrowed it down which of her followers could view them to see whether they would still get leaked. To conclude, Rooney then alleged where the source came from, with the iconic line "It's ……….Rebekah Vardy’s account." Rooney's sleuthing led the internet to compare her to crime novelist Agatha Christie, which led to the term "Wagatha Christie" being coined. Rebekah Vardy - who is married to Leicester City footballer Jamie Vardy - then brought a libel case against Rooney but after a week-long trial at London's High Court in May last year, the verdict was announced in July that Vardy had lost the case. As a result, Vardy was ordered to pay up to £1.5m to Rooney in legal fees. Here are the 10 best Coleen quotes from the interview: “What I said in that post, I still stick by today.” - on what she wrote in the infamous post that kicked off the Wagatha Christie saga. “We would associate because our husbands had played for England together. But she doesn’t live round here. She wasn’t a friend. I’ve never socialised with her.” - on her relationship with Rebekah Vardy before the revelation and court case. "I’ve never been in a legal case before so for me it was scary." “The thing I was dreading the most was actually going to court.” - on going to court over her Twitter post. “It was so difficult in that courtroom," Coleen said and added: “especially watching her on the stand. It was quite painful. I felt uneasy.” - on being in court and watching Rebekah Vardy testify. “I’d rather spend money on a holiday wardrobe than a court wardrobe." - on her court fashion. “They were just another level. When I was reading them I was thinking: the evilness and the hatred that they had for someone that they don’t even know.” - on Vardy's texts about mentioning Rooney's late sister Rosie for Rooney to find endearing. “'When PE teachers have to teach a bit of geography.' We were laughing about that one." - on the internet meme that came from Wayne carrying Coleen's black Fendi tote filled with folders into court. "I swore,” she says with a laugh. “I think all I did was swear for the whole quarter- of-an-hour phone call.” - on her reaction to finding out she won the court case. “I’m a forgive and forget person, I can’t be bothered with things going on and on."However, she added: "But this is obviously totally different." - on whether she forgives Rebekah Vardy. “I can’t live in the past. It’s happened now and I move on.” - on whether she has any regrets about tweeting out about her detective work. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
