It makes people talk
French comedian Pierre Palmade appeared weakened on Wednesday at the opening of his trial in Melun, in the Paris region. The actor, whose drug addiction problems have long been known, is accused of causing a serious accident last year while driving his vehicle under the influence of hard drugs. The six-month pregnant woman in the other vehicle lost her baby. Explaining that he had been sober for almost a year and a half, Pierre Palmade asked for forgiveness from the affected family when he was called to the stand. He now faces five years in prison, including two years in prison.

I hope people don’t give him a hard time
Miley Cyrus in a magazine interview Harper’s Bazaar about rising star Chappell Roan. The latter was widely criticized on social networks recently for having declared that being popular did not give her fans the right to harass her to ask for a photo. “It must be difficult to start in the industry in the age of phones and Instagram,” added Miley Cyrus, full of empathy for the young singer of the hour.

Guy Nantel’s billboard in Longueuil… future mayor of Montreal?
We love or hate Guy Nantel. But we have to admit that the comedian has a sense of marketing. To mark the end of his tour, he bought a gigantic advertising billboard in Longueuil, near the Jacques-Cartier Bridge, on which we can read that these are his last shows before he “becomes mayor of Montreal”. What if it wasn’t a joke? With him, it’s difficult to differentiate the true from the false, sometimes. After all, Guy Nantel was indeed a candidate for the leadership of the Parti Québécois in 2020.
