'Elemental' was written off as a box-office flop. Then it sprouted legs
When "Elemental" opened to less than $30 million in the US in mid-June, box-office analysts and reporters were quick to label the animated movie a "flop," one that was almost sure to lose money. Yet after steadily playing through the summer, the latest entry from one-time hit factory Pixar appears to have taken a page from the Little Mermaid -- namely, by sprouting legs.

Women’s World Cup group permutations: How can each team qualify?
It’s crunch time at the Women’s World Cup with the final round of fixtures in the group stages set to decide who will advance to the knockouts. It has been a tournament of shocks and surprises so far, with Nigeria stunning Australia and Colombia’s last-gasp win over Germany standing out as the biggest results of the World Cup. There are set to be more twists and turns as the final matches of the group stages are played out - with the top two teams in each group advancing to the last-16. With everything to play for across several groups, here’s what each team needs to reach the knockout stages, starting with Group B. Group E standings 1. USA - 4 points (+3 goal difference) 2. Netherlands - 4 points (+1) 3. Portugal - 3 points (+1) 4. Vietnam (E) - 0 points (-5) Results and fixtures USA 3-0 Vietnam Netherlands 1-0 Portugal USA 1-1 Netherlands Portugal 2-0 Vietnam Vietnam vs Netherlands (8am BST) Portugal vs USA (8am BST) How does each team qualify? United States - The USA will qualify for the last-16 as long as they do not lose to Portugal. They will finish top of Group E if Netherlands draw or lose, or if they win by a greater margin than the Dutch. Netherlands - The Netherlands will qualify with a win or draw against Vietnam. The Netherlands could still qualify with a defeat, as long as they had a better goal difference than the USA. Portugal - Portugal will reach the last-16 if they beat the USA but will be out if they lose. If Portugal draw, they would require the Netherlands to lose Vietnam by at least two goals. Vietnam - Cannot qualify for the knockout stages. Group D standings 1. England - 6 points (+2 goal difference) 2. Denmark - 3 points (+0) 3. China - 3 points (+0) 4. Haiti - 0 points (-2) Results and fixtures England 1-0 Haiti Denmark 1-0 China England 1-0 Denmark Haiti 0-1 China England vs China (12pm BST) Denmark vs Haiti (12pm BST) How does each team qualify? England - Will qualify with a win or draw against China, which would also confirm top spot in Group D and a last-16 tie against Nigeria. - England can still qualify with a defeat against China, but they require Denmark to lose or draw. If England lose and Denmark fail to win, the Lionesses will finish second if China overtake them on goal difference. - If England lose and Denmark win, the Lionesses would need to finish with a better goal difference than one of China or Denmark. England therefore cannot lose by more than one goal. Denmark - Denmark will go through if they win and China draw or lose. - If Denmark and China finish with the same result, it will go down to goal difference and then goals scored in their final group match. They currently have identical goal records after losing a match 1-0 and winning a match 1-0. Denmark will also go through ahead of England if the Lionesses lose to China by more than one goal. China - China will go through if they win and Denmark draw or lose. - If China match Denmark’s result of a win and a draw then it comes down to goal difference. Haiti - Haiti must beat Denmark and hope China lose to England. It would then come down to goal difference, with three teams (Haiti, Denmark and China) all level on three points. Therefore, if Haiti win by more than one goal and China lose, they are guaranteed to go through. Group A standings 1. Switzerland (Q) - 5 points (+2 goal difference) 2. Norway (Q) - 4 points (+5) 3. New Zealand (E) - 4 points (+0) 4. Philippines (E) - 3 points (-7) Results New Zealand 1-0 Norway Switzerland 2-0 Philippines New Zealand 0-1 Philippines Norway 0-0 Switzerland Norway 6-0 Philippines New Zealand 0-0 Switzerland Group B standings 1. Australia (Q) - 6 points (+4 goal difference) 2. Nigeria (Q) - 5 points (+1) 3. Canada (E) - 4 points (-3) 4. Ireland (E) - 1 point (-2) Results Australia 1-0 Ireland Canada 0-0 Nigeria Australia 2-3 Nigeria Ireland 1-2 Canada Australia 4-0 Canada Nigeria 0-0 Ireland Group C standings 1. Japan (Q) - 9 points (+11 goal difference) 2. Spain (Q) - 6 points (+4) 3. Zambia (E) - 3 points (-8) 4.

What do England need to qualify for Women’s World Cup last-16?
England will qualify for the knockout stages of the Women’s World Cup as long as they avoid defeat to China in the finale of Group D. The Lionesses have opened their World Cup campaign with back-to-back wins over Haiti and Denmark to take control of their fate. But China’s late win against Haiti last time out means there is still work for Sarina Wiegman’s side to do - with either Australia or Nigeria waiting in the last-16. England have only lost once under Wiegman but will be without key midfielder Keira Walsh for their final group fixture. Here’s everything you need to know. How does each team qualify? England - Will qualify with a win or draw against China, which would also confirm top spot in Group D and a last-16 tie against Nigeria. - England can still qualify with a defeat against China, but they require Denmark to lose or draw.

Lena The Plug recalls having 'awkward' threesome with 'A-list' rapper
Lena the Plug has been thrust into the limelight thanks to her notorious “collaboration” with porn star Jason Luv, but not all her sexual encounters have been so well choreographed. The OnlyFans star, who is known for her X-rated podcast ‘Plug Talk’, has revealed that she once had a threesome with an “A-lister” and her best friend, but admitted that she found the whole experience painfully “awkward”. ‘Plug Talk’ follows an unusual format, in that each episode sees Lena (real name Lena Nersesian) and her husband Adam22 interview a female porn actor and then have sex with her at the end. But, three-ways haven’t always come so naturally to the content creator, as she acknowledged in a resurfaced clip. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter In the video, posted to YouTube back in 2017, Lena and her pal Emily laughed about an encounter they’d had, apparently with a bonafide superstar. Introducing the eyebrow-raising anecdote, the adult influencer said: “Basically Emily and I became best friends the moment we locked eyes in March of 2016 and a week later we collabbed (sic) on a penis.” She explained: “This is Los Angeles, a lot of things can happen and Emily somehow was invited to hang out with a very attractive celebrity, A-list rapper.” Lena said that Emily pleaded with her to come along to the celeb’s house because she was too nervous to go alone, but the podcaster warned her: “If we go there together, he’s going to think that we’re both going to f**k him.” Sure enough, after smoking some weed and drinking some “really gross” wine, this is precisely what happened, even though Emily wanted the famous lover all to herself. “This is not only an awkward threesome because you didn't want me to join, but it was just awkward because he's awkward,” Lena recalled. She then recounted how, despite having “kissed a lot of girls” and even having had a girlfriend herself, she found her sexual dalliance with Emily almost unbearably cringe-inducing. “I've kissed my sister, I've kissed my cousins who are girls and none of those kisses felt as awkward as the kisses that Emily and I exchanged,” she said. “Me and her are best friends, but we also have a very mother-daughter/sister relationship.” However, this was not the end of the racy story, but simply the prelude to something even more risqué. Moving on to her budding relationship with Adam22 (real name Adam Grandmaison), Lena told viewers: “I've been seeing Adam for a few months and we are both sexually pretty open to having other girls join.” She then announced that they would be having sex with Emily “in an hour” and then “talk about it after” on the same YouTube video. “It's kind of weird and controversial to have your best friend join, but I trust Emily and this will just kind of be kind of fun,” she added. Eventually, Adam did join and the video cut to the aftermath. Posed that most clichéd of questions: “How was it for you?”, Adam replied: “It was probably one of the greatest experiences of my life.” They rapped up the clip with Lena leaning back on her bed with Adam and saying: “We're going to make a sex tape if you get me to a million subscribers and this man as well.” Suffice it to say, six years on, they each have more than a million subscribers. And, together, they’ve made a hell of a lot more than just one sex tape. Have your say in our news democracy.
