Jonah Hill's ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady accuses star of 'emotional abuse'
Jonah Hill's ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady has shared screenshots of messages online thought to be from the actor. The surf instructor, who dated Hill for a year in 2021, took to her Instagram Stories with a string of screenshots over the weekend. Alongside one post, she wrote: "Kind of unbelievable that a man who sent me s*** like this ... would then be upset I didn't read his mind and take down pics of that once I was in a relationship." One text published by TMZ read: "Plain and simple. If you need: Surfing with men. Boundaryless inappropriate friendships with men. To model. To post pictures of yourself in a bathing suit. To post sexual pictures. Friendships with women who are in unstable places and from your wild recent past beyond getting a lunch or coffee or something respectful. I am not the right partner for you." Another alleged message from an account thought to be Hill's tells Brady to remove a video of her surfing. In response, Brady's response read: "Three removed, not the video yet, it is my best surfing video. Would you feel better if the cover frame was different? Any more specific ones that bother you?" The reply said: "Yes. One that isn't of your ass in a thong." Above the screenshot of the surfing video discussion, Sarah wrote: "This is a warning to all girls. If your partner is talking to you like this then make an exit plan."

Fans praise ‘power of facial hair’ after Will Poulter debuted new look at Paris Fashion Week
Will Poulter has turned fans’ heads after sporting a new look at this year’s Paris Fashion Week. The Bear star, 30, was seen at the Dior Homme Menswear Spring/Summer 2023 show in June with a moustache and a light smattering of facial hair framing his chin and jaw. Although the actor debuting the look more than two weeks ago, fans have begun to sit up and take notice of his dapper appearance after sharing photographs on social media. One tweet that has been viewed more than 8.7m times featuring a trio of photos of Poulter smiling at the camera was shared by a user who goes by the handle @fatfabfeminist. She wrote: “HELLO?? WILL POULTER??? UR KIDDING???” In another tweet, she said: “I cannot express the reaction I had to these pictures but oh my god.” Others admired his “glowup”, with one person writing: “I’ve always thought he was really cute in an awkward way, I’m so glad he grew into his skin.” “This man has had the most insane glow-up,” another said, while a third added: “This should confirm that growing a bear increases your attractiveness ten times more.” In further praise of facial hair, another said: “Facial hair needs to be audited and governed by some centralised agency because the way this just changed my entire worldview on this man is giving me whiplash.” One person wrote: “A light beard will always help frame and sharpen the face thus helping you look aesthetically pleasing and elevates the look from a boy to a MAN. “You go Will Poulter! (Gone are the days that you’ll be compared to Sid from Toy Story haha)” On social media, Poulter has sometimes been compared to the animated character of Sid in the Toy Story franchise. In May, he revealed that he was once even mistaken for Sid while at a urinal in LA, after a man turned to him and asked if he was in the Pixar animated film. “I don’t want to be rude. I also appreciate there’s a meme going round of me – I dressed up as Sid from ‘Toy Story’ for anti-bullying week. So arguably I haven’t helped my case. But [Toy Story came out in] 1995. I was two. And they weren’t doing it through live action,” he said. The Guardians of the Galaxy star wore a short-sleeved white-collared shirt with smart chinos and pale green clogs under a pale multi-coloured trench coat to the fashion show. In terms of his looks, Poulter is also known for his arched eyebrows which are highly expressive. He opened up about his personal style in a 2022 interview with British GQ, in which he revealed he is a “massive sneakerhead”, referring to his love for trainers. He said that when he was younger, he would emulate other people’s style without “really knowing what I was doing”, but now knows which labels “really suit my personality”. Poulter named Frank Ocean, Robert Pattinson and Michaela Coel as celebrities whose sense of style he admires. “I’d also absolutely love and can probably only dream of collaborating with a brand on a collection,” he added. “I’m actually a massive sneakerhead – I’ve had to tell myself I won’t spend money in Flight Club today – but a sneaker collaboration would be pretty cool to do.” Read More Jonah Hill’s ex-girlfriend Sarah Brady accuses him of ‘emotional abuse’ Denise Welch opens up about moment Matty Healy told her he needed rehab Woman exits plane after tirade about passenger who is ‘not real’: ‘I’m not about to be Final Destination-ed’ David and Victoria Beckham throw Prada party to celebrate Harper’s 12th birthday Every Barbie-inspired outfit Margot Robbie has worn so far How to make your summer tan last longer

Paul Dummett and Loris Karius commit futures to Newcastle with new deals
Newcastle pair Paul Dummett and Loris Karius have signed new deals to keep them at the club until the end of next season. Dummett, at 31 the Magpies’ longest serving current player, and Karius, 30, were both offered contract extensions last month after the expiry of their previous deals. Newcastle said: “Newcastle defender Paul Dummett and goalkeeper Loris Karius have agreed to extend their contracts at St James’ Park until summer 2024.” Left-back Dummett, who joined the club’s academy aged nine, made his first-team debut over a decade ago in early 2013 and has made more than 200 appearances for the club in all competitions. Former Liverpool keeper Karius joined the Magpies in September 2022, initially on a short-term deal, and has extended his stay for a second time. The German has yet to make a Premier League appearance for the club, but played the full 90 minutes in the Carabao Cup final defeat by Manchester United in February.
