Jim Carrey wasn’t about to let Melania Trump leave the White House without one final goodbye. In his latest political cartoon, the artist and actor shared a rather unflattering depiction of Melania Trump alongside the caption, “Oh…and goodbye worst first lady. I hope the settlement can finance your life in the shallow end. Thx for nothing!” On Wednesday, the former first lady and her husband skipped the inauguration and flew down to Palm Beach, Florida, where they are expected to take up residence at the Mar-a-Lago resort. But with the end of Donald Trump’s presidency, many have speculated what his wife’s post-White House plans will be — and whether she’ll stay married to him. Also Read: Jim Carrey Celebrates the End of Trump's Presidency by Throwing Paper Towels at TV Jacqueline Newman, a Manhattan divorce lawyer and managing partner at Berkman Bottger Newman & Schein, told the Daily Mirror that Melania Trump could receive upwards of $50 million in a divorce — a settlement that Carrey was likely referring to in his cartoon. “I am guessing that she will receive actual cash payments as well as properties. Should she move back to New York City, he will be providing housing for her, whether it means her retaining a property in her own name or that he will provide her with an apartment to live in, which he would own, until their son is emancipated, which is 21 in New York,” Newman told the U.K. tabloid. “She will also retain any assets that are currently in her own name as well. I would not be surprised if the amounts range between $20 million and $50 million.” Meanwhile, on the day of the inauguration, Carrey said he had “wept with joy and relief” in a message shared with his followers. “It seems Democracy is meant for people who dare to love after all,” the prolific artist and comedian wrote. “I pray that soon more and more of us will see how deeply satisfying it is to win the game by playing fair.” Take a look at his latest political cartoon here. pic.twitter.com/zvU6tF4UjM — Jim Carrey (@JimCarrey) January 22, 2021 Read original story Jim Carrey Takes a Farewell Jab at ‘Worst First Lady’ Melania Trump in Latest Cartoon: ‘Thx for Nothing’ At TheWrap

(Warning: This post contains spoilers through the Season 1 finale of “Fate: The Winx Saga.”) In the Season 1 finale of Netflix’s “Fate: The Winx Saga,” a live-action adaptation of the Italian cartoon “Winx Club,” fire fairy Bloom (played by Abigail Cowen) goes through a metamorphosis that allows her to defeat the army of Burned Ones threatening her magical boarding school. Bloom — who thought she was a regular human teen up until a flaming accident at home led to her admission into Alfea — goes into full-on fire fairy mode, fiery wings and all, to shoot out burning blasts at the evil creatures. It’s in this moment, after our six-episode journey with the “changeling” who was placed with a human family at birth, that viewers learn just how powerful Bloom really is — and when she herself learns, too. Also Read: 'Fate: The Winx Saga' Star Abigail Cowen on Netflix Series' 'Harry Potter' Vibe, Whitewashing Criticism “The whole reason that Bloom was put into the Firstworld was because she had these insane powers and she is one of the most powerful fairies, probably, that the Otherworld has ever seen,” Cowen told TheWrap. “And I think that’s what Ms. Dowling [Alfea’s headmistress, played by Eve Best] knew, and what people speculated. But in that moment, I think, just my personal opinion, that’s the tip of the iceberg. That’s just kind of a little teaser into what her powers are going to be. And hopefully for the second season, if we get a second season, I think that’s just the beginning of them. I think that’s why we waited until the very end to tease and show the audience, like, get ready, this is about to get very intense.” Bloom does not yet understand the gift she possesses, which the villainous former headmistress Rosalind (Lesley Sharp) told Farah Dowling is an ancient power called “The Dragon Flame,” a power that was used to create the Burned Ones in the first place. But Cowen said that even though Bloom still doesn’t know what she is fully capable of, she finally knows who she is. “It didn’t hit Bloom until that moment, actually. I feel like that was the most her she’s ever felt,” Cowen said. “I thought that was just a really special, beautiful moment for her because she was finally able to really come into her powers and not have to really, not necessarily control them, but not subdue them. She finally was able to truly, truly embrace them. I think that was empowering for her and I’m excited to see, again, if we get a second season, where she goes with that and what that does for her and her self-esteem and her overall sense of self. And if she is really able to hone in on them and be a really huge force in the Otherworld.” Also Read: Kiernan Shipka Still Wants to Do a 'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina'-'Riverdale' Crossover Should “Fate: The Winx Saga” get a second season, Bloom would have one much more immediate concern than developing her powers: The fact that Alfea is now under the management of Rosalind (who has secretly just killed Dowling), fairy queen Luna (Kate Fleetwood) and Andreas (Ken Duken), Sky’s (Danny Griffin) father who everyone thought was dead, but was really in hiding all these years raising Rosalind’s prodigy, Beatrix (Sadie Soverall). In the closing moments of the finale, Bloom and her friends — light fairy Princess Stella (Hannah van der Westhuysen), water fairy Aisha (Precious Mustapha), earth fairy Terra (Eliot Salt) and mind fairy Musa (Elisha Applebaum) — return to school after a weekend in the human world during which Bloom told her parents that she was switched at birth and has been at a fairy academy, not boarding school in Switzerland, this whole time. That’s when they see the new heads of Alfea and are very afraid to find out what this change means. “The nature of this show, the minute that you think things are going right and things are finally on track, there’s a curveball that’s thrown at you,” Cowen said. “And that’s a huge part of Bloom’s journey and Bloom’s life. But that ending scene is just I think terrifying for what is to come… There are a lot of things to be uncovered about the school that people don’t know. I feel like there might be a battle of power. I don’t really know actually, but it’s definitely opening up some room for conflict, I would say, for the coming year.” “Fate: The Winx Saga” Season 1 is streaming now on Netflix.

South African cricketer Faf du Plessis believes spending months in a bio-secure bubble could soon become a major challenge for players. “We understand that this is a very tough season and a tough challenge for a lot of people out there, but if it’s back-to-back-to back bubble life, things would become a big challenge,” du Plessis said during a virtual news conference on Saturday. In countries like Pakistan, international games are being played in empty stadiums and players' movement confined to just their hotel and stadiums.

Germany expects British drugmaker AstraZeneca Plc to deliver 3 million doses of its COVID-19 vaccine in February despite the company's latest production problems, Health Minister Jens Spahn told Bild am Sonntag newspaper. AstraZeneca informed European Union officials on Friday it would cut deliveries of its COVID-19 vaccine to the bloc by 60% to 31 million doses in the first quarter of the year due to production problems, a senior official told Reuters. The decrease deals another blow to Europe's COVID-19 vaccination drive after Pfizer Inc and German partner BioNTech slowed supplies of their vaccine to the bloc this week, saying the move was needed because of work to ramp up production.
