Lizzo is firing back at the allegations against her by a trio of dancers. According to TMZ, her lawyer, Marty Singer, revealed she's planning to countersue for malicious prosecution claiming the dancers are being hypocritical. It's all because of a photo, which according to her attorney, shows her backup dancers happily cavorting after attending the Crazy Horse cabaret show in Paris, France. "These images showing the three plaintiffs gleefully reveling backstage after the topless show were taken after their February 2023 visit to Bananenbar in Amsterdam that they complain about in their lawsuit," wrote Singer in a statement obtained by People magazine.Lizzo performs onstage at the 2019 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 21, 2019, in Indio.

“The bottom line: investing in real estate is smart because the property is tangible. People always have, and always will, need shelter. This means it is very unlikely that our need for shelter (i.e., buying or renting homes) will ever go away.”Kathy Fettke, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of RealWealthIt is the dream of every man to possess a shelter on the most pocket-friendly budget. However, with every desire comes additional demands and sacrifices; some might be more focused on the aesthetics of their dream place, and others might just need a little bit more security. At the same time, some demand a more spacious residence. With the regular fastidious development around the sphere, one must not need to worry about finding the right accommodation.

Which vegetable was deemed the top superfood? You might be surprised.

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 09:42:25 GMT

We know that vegetables are often the healthiest food on the plate – when they do make it onto the plate.Loaded with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fiber, veggies are known for their health-promoting and disease-prevention properties. New research has ranked vegetables and fruit by their nutrient density or the amount of nutrients obtained per serving. While this information can help us optimize our nutrition, the findings of the study are a bit surprising.The study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention awarded only one vegetable with a perfect 100% score and it wasn’t cauliflower, broccoli or even kale. A lesser-known green vegetable, watercress, took the title as “top superfood”. Watercress is a leafy green vegetable in the Brassicaceae, or cabbage, family that grows in freshwater. It has a strong peppery and even bitter flavor. Watercress is higher in vitamin A and potassium than other lettuces and has more vitamin C than oranges.Related ArticlesHealth | ...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 09:42:25 GMT

In yet another move to strengthen tenant protections, the Antioch City Council this week approved a new set of rules to ensure against landlord retaliation and harassment.The action came after more than a year of tenants and supporters advocating for help and after the council considered a draft review and later approved a first reading of revised ordinance in July. That version, however, advanced with changes on its second reading with Councilwoman Monica Wilson absent, Councilman Mike Barbanica recusing himself and Councilwoman Lori Ogorchock dissenting, requiring it to return for a first reading.On Tuesday, though, after hearing more than two hours of public comments and discussion, the City Council voted 3-to-1 to approve the latest version of rules, with Ogorchock dissenting and Barbanica again recusing himself.“This legislation that we’re voting on today is not the exact same one as it was a few weeks ago,” Thorpe said. “…The implication here is about the landlord&...
