Conspiracy theorists believe there is a secret planet
Conspiracy theorists think that there is a hidden planet in out Solar System that will eventually destroy humanity. That's right, conspiracy theorists believe there is a secret ninth planet that was discovered by 19th-century astronomer Percival Lowell. The planet was given the name 'Planet X', also known as Nibiru, by Lowell, who believed the inhabitants of the planet made humans who we are today. Despite Lowell never actually seeing the mystery planet, he was convinced of its existence and left $1 million to fund research about the planet after he passed away in 1916. A hundred years later and all the money spent, it was concluded that the planet never existed. But this hasn't stopped conspiracy theorists from vowing to continue the search. With Caltech professors Mike Brown and Konstantin Batygin even going as far as to co-author a paper suggesting the planet exists "I didn't have a particularly strong appreciation for just how difficult would be to find Planet Nine until I started looking together with Mike using telescopes," Professor Batygin told the BBC. "The reason it's such a tough search is because most astronomical surveys are not looking for a single thing." It was initially predicted that Planet X would bring about the end of the world in 2003, but it did not smash into Earth as had been suggested. In 2012 it was again predicted that the planet would collide with Earth at the end of the year, which I don't need to tell you, did not happen. Dr Scott Sheppard and Professor Chad Trujillo sought to explain a strange cluster of six small objects in the Kuiper Belt beyond Neptune back in 2014. They suggested that a large planet was lurking in the solar system, with Dr Sheppard saying: "These distant objects are like breadcrumbs leading us to Planet X. 'The more of them we can find, the better we can understand the outer Solar System and the possible plant that we think is shaping their orbits - a discovery that would redefine our knowledge of the Solar System's evolution."

Scott Disick says he wants to sleep with Khloe Kardashian for his 40th birthday
Fans of The Kardashians are thrilled to have Scott Disick back on screens, mostly for his chaotic one-liners that some viewers have said "carry the show". Well now, Disick, Kourtney Kardashian's ex-partner of 10 years and father of their three children Mason, Penelope and Reign, has expressed a very unique birthday wish for his 40th back in May. On a recent episode of the famed reality show, Disick, who required back surgery as a result of a car accident in August 2022, said it "changed everything" in his life, including his weight and sex life, candidly telling a doctor: "Now I can’t move, so I’m terrible." Khloe Kardashian then asked him whether sex was the motivator for him to complete physical therapy, to which he asked: "Get back on the wagon to f***? No motion to me.” He then shared how a spiritual healer suggested microdosing mushrooms, which he admitted to not being his thing. "I figure better off doing the therapy than getting possibly abused by her," Disick said, seemingly referring to the healer. "So I’m happy to commit to this." Things then took a wild turn, when he brought Khloe into the mix. "And then on my 40th birthday, or something maybe? Me and you?" he joked, to which a confused Khloe hit back: "Me and you, what?" "I don’t know, you heard him," Disick responded. Khloe hilariously shut down his ideas, saying: "You might have bumped your head as well. Maybe you need a brain surgery." "No, but on my 40th birthday maybe I’ll feel better," Disick replied. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Will Smith breaks silence after Jada Pinkett Smith’s relationship revelation
Will Smith has broken his silence after Jada Pinkett Smith made a bombshell revelation about their relationship last week. Ahead of her memoir Worthy, Jada revealed to Hoda Kotb on Today that she and Will hadn't been together for seven years – they just simply never divorced. Jada told the host that she "made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce" and that the pair will "work through whatever". "I just haven't been able to break that promise," she said. Jada went on to confirm that she and Will also live separately, and when asked how the two maintained the arrangement, she responded: "I think just not being ready yet." She also added that they are "still trying to figure out" how to be a partnership and how to explain that to people. EXCLUSIVE: Jada Pinkett Smith reveals she and Will Smith have been separated since 2016 www.youtube.com The star then discussed to infamous Oscar slap, when Will assaulted Chris Rock after the comedian jokingly called Jada "G.I. Jane". But, there was one small detail that shocked her even more than the incident itself. "First of all, I’m really shocked, because mind you, I’m not there. We haven’t called each other husband and wife in a long time," she said. "I’m like, ‘What is going on right now? Keep my wife’s name out of your mouth?’ I’m really worried for Will because I don’t know what’s going on." Will has since opened up about the revelations from Jada's new book, calling her more "resilient, clever and compassionate than he’d understood". "When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life a sort of emotional blindness sets in, and you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties," he told The New York Times.
