Man hits on woman only to discover she’s Kanye West’s new wife
Months of speculation over Kanye West’s relationship status have been put to bed thanks to a fruitlessly flirtatious TikTok encounter. A content creator called Nue filmed himself having a conversation with a “sexy” bleach-blonde woman while out shopping. He wrapped up their encounter by asking for her number, to which she replied: “I’m married!” This may sound like a pretty conclusive end to the story, but it was only the beginning of a social media feeding frenzy. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter You see, the woman turned out to be none other than Ye’s latest love interest Bianca Censori. @gratefulboynuee Yea Married To Kanye ? #fyp #omg #beauty #ye #foryou #rizz #famous #trending Censori, 28, is the head of architecture for the Yeezy brand and has been linked to the disgraced rapper since January. Sources told DailyMail.com at the time that Kanye, 45, had secretly married the model and designer in an intimate ceremony. And an insider told The US Sun that they’d exchanged vows at the $5,000-a-night Amangiri Resort in Utah. However, the paper confirmed that the pair hadn’t registered for a marriage licence in the state. It is still not known whether or not the couple secured the necessary paperwork to make their union legally binding. The rumoured knot-tying came just two months after the ‘Gold Digger’ singer finalised his divorce from Kim Kardashian, with whom he has four children. It also came as Ye single-handedly destroyed his own career and reputation via a string of anti-Semitic tirades. All we can confidently say at this stage is that Censori considers herself to be off the market, and no, she won’t give her number out to smooth-talking strangers.

What is Lake Xochimilco and axolotl? The unique landmark celebrated in Google Doodle
The Google Doodle has celebrated diverse figures like photographer Corky Lee to German actress Renate Krößner recently, and now it's turned its attention to something entirely different. Today (May 20), it’s all about a rare animal and its natural habitat, with the search engine launching a new initiative with an interactive doodle. Lake Xochimilco in Mexico and the rare axolotl are being celebrated today, with Google shedding light on the exotic animal and effort to protect it. The axolotl is a species of salamander which is paedomorphic – retaining its juvenile features as an adult. Its closest relative is the tiger salamander, and the rare special can only be found in very specific places around the world. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter One of them is Lake Xochimilco. Google’s description reads: “Today’s interactive Doodle celebrates Lake Xochimilco, a natural lake near Mexico City that is the last remaining native habitat for axolotls in the world (cousins of the salamander). “The lake was once home to the ancient Aztec civilization during the 15th century, and eventually landowners in the colonial period took over occupation of the lake. On this day in 1920, the Mexican government returned Lake Xochimilco back to the locals. Lake Xochimilco now serves as a recreational site, cultural attraction, and home to the rare axolotl species.” It continues: “Due to Lake Xochimilco’s unique landscape, local farmers adopted the ancient chinampa farming method, which involves artificial floating gardens. These chinamperos (or farmers) grow hundreds of different aquatic plants, from common vegetables to medicinal herbs, in the nutrient-rich soil. It’s also a popular destination for rowing and kayaking — cruising on colorful, wooden boats called trijaneras is an essential pastime on the lake. “Lake Xochimilco is also currently the last remaining native habitat on Earth for axolotls, fresh-water salamanders that live in the water instead of on land. Their mouths are permanently upturned into a slight smile, and they can regenerate limbs, gills, and even parts of their eyes and brains! Unfortunately, these delicate creatures were listed as a critically endangered species in 2008.” “Legend has it that their namesake — the Aztec god of fire and lightning, Xolotl — disguised himself as a salamander to avoid sacrifice. The axolotl is so culturally revered in Mexico that the Bank of Mexico added the salamander to the country’s 50-peso bill in 2021. “Today, many are working to protect Lake Xochimilco after years of pollution, invasive species, man-made disturbances, and other obstacles have harmed the axolotl ecosystem. Local chinamperos have been actively restoring their lands with better fertilizers and water filters to preserve these creatures that have become an integral part of their identity and way of life.” Have your say in our news democracy.

Dan Walker compared to Alan Partridge for question about an 11-year-old with a knife
It just shows how well observed Steve Coogan’s comedy character Alan Partridge is, when time after time broadcasters and pundits continue to accidentally resemble North Norfolk’s finest DJ. We have Dan Walker to thank for an instant classic “accidental Partridge” moment, when the host asked a question about an 11-year-old with a knife which has sent social media into hysterics. The Channel 5 news reader posed a question to his followers on Twitter which left most people baffled – and bore more than a passing resemblance to something Partridge would ask on his radio phone-ins. “If an 11-year-old is brandishing a knife… is it ok to taser them?” Walker wrote. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Not only did it remind us of a classic viral video, but it also had people reacting in their droves online. “Sorry, is this an actual live situation you’re in?” one asked, to which Walker replied: “Thankfully not Bruce.” Another joked: “What kind of sandwich are they making?” “Let them butter their toast first,” one more said. The tweet was seemingly in relation to an incident which took place earlier this week. The police watchdog is investigating after an 11-year-old boy holding a knife was tasered during a stand-off at a holiday park. Police were called to reports of a disturbance at Craig Tara Caravan Park near Ayr at about 11.15pm on Wednesday March 22. Walker isn’t the only one to have been compared to Partridge over recent weeks. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was compared to him after discussing his favourite band… The Beatles. The PM was asked to name his favourite musical group, and he told GB News reporter Darren McCaffrey that his favourite band was the fab four. In one telling scene from I’m Alan Partridge, the Norwich-based radio DJ is asked what his favourite Beatles album is. “Tough one. I think I’d have to say the best of the Beatles,” he replies. The beef between Mick Lynch and Richard Madeley also recently took another development after the union boss said the presenter should be cast in an “Alan Partridge pantomime” – referring to his frequent Partridge-isms on air.

Why Vin Diesel showed up to the Fast X premiere with a Bluetooth speaker
Stars took to the red carpet at last night's glamourous Fast X Mexico City premiere, but one moment that left fans scratching their heads was Vin Diesel turning up with a Bluetooth speaker. Instead of answering questions for reporters, the actor took out his speaker and began blasting a song from the film's soundtrack, 'Angel Part 1'. The collaboration between BTS member Jimin, rapper Kodak Black, and singer, JVKE, is due for release on 18 May, a day before the film is released. When the song was done, the actor simply smiled and walked away, speaker in hand. Click here to sign up for our newsletters

Bassett, who plays Mace Mason, pins Lenny Nero (Ralph Fiennes) up against a wall, when she says: "This is your life, right here right now, it's real." The Fatboy Slim song went on to be Platinum-certified. Click here to sign up for our newsletters
