The Bear famed Ayo Edebiri’s upcoming Barney live-action movie is certainly one such unusual project. While Barney has been a pop culture icon for decades now, having a Barney live-action film is something unusual that fans were not expecting at […]

COLE PALMER has been left speechless after learning he has “musical royalty” in his family.
The Chelsea midfielder’s great-uncle scored a coveted No. 1 way back in 1974.

Palmer was taken on an unexpected trip down memory lane in an interview with TNT Sports.
The 22-year-old joined Kenny Allstar for a chat, with the host revealing the Palmer family has a storied musical history.
Bringing out a vinyl record, Allstar explained: “This record is from a band called Sweet Sensation.
“Your great uncle was in this band. They had a No.1 in the 1970s. This vinyl here went No. 1 here in the UK.”
A stunned Palmer replied: “I didn’t even know that.”
The England star was shown a clip of the band playing the hit Sad Sweet Dreamer on Top of the Pops.
His great uncle St. Clair Palmer was the lead singer – but Palmer couldn’t pick him out on screen.
He added: “He’s too young there I can’t recognise him!”

“Obviously people in my family have talked about.
“But I’ve never listened to it or researched it.”
Palmer has enjoyed a meteoric rise since swapping Manchester City for Chelsea in the summer of 2023.
The England star headed to Stamford Bridge in a £42.5million transfer just under two years ago.
He has since become one of the Premier League’s most impressive young stars.

BLUES keeper Filip Jorgensen’s awful underarm howler saw Aston Villa come from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 in the Prem.
Enzo Fernandez’s rapid opener inside nine minutes came from Pedro Neto’s stunning breeze past Ian Maatsen.
But the Blues soon fell apart after Man Utd loanee Marcus Rashford’s blistering introduction at half-time.
Rashford provided two assists for fellow January signing Marco Asensio to leave Chelsea in sixth with two Prem wins from nine games in 2025.
FILIP JORGENSEN – 4
Horrible error for Villa’s late winner as Asensio’s shot squirmed under his body and through his gloves- ironically he had made a crucial save before that.
MALO GUSTO – 6
Failed to get a decent touch on Cash’s ball – and that led to Villa’s second half equaliser. Struggled to deal with Rashford’s presence.
TREVOH CHALOBAH – 3
The defender suffered a huge blow as he had to come off after just six minutes clutching his ribs following a challenge from Asensio.
LEVI COLWILL – 6
Found himself with a new central defensive partner early in the game and looked uncertain at times.
MARC CUCURELLA – 6
Defending Chelsea’s left flank was not as troublesome as the right hand side, and the Spaniard looked stylish as Villa applied more pressure.
REECE JAMES – 6
Stepped in for the injured Noni Madueke and took the captain’s armband, had a good battle with Cash.
ENZO FERNANDEZ – 6
Right place, right time to open the scoring, a real threat early on, took a booking for the team, lucky to escape a second.
MOISES CAICEDO – 7
Provided a strong presence in midfield, spotted danger early and halted a number of Villa raids.
His second-half ball should have provided Chelsea with their winner.
COLE PALMER – 6
Largely quiet game but wasted his chance to win the game when he collected a Caicedo through ball – but stumbled – that allowed Konsa to clear the shot
PEDRO NETO – 7
Great work for the opening goal when he left Maatsen standing before crossing to find Fernandez.
CHRISTOPHER NKUNKU- 5
Hugged the left touchline, should have been involved more, not as much of a threat as Neto, subbed with 14 minutes to go.
SUBS
TOSIN ADARABIOYO: (for Chalobah, 6mins) – 6
Needed some time to fit in at the back after Chalobah’s injury.
JADON SANCHO: (for Nkunku, 76mins) – 5
Did little to affect the game after coming on for an ineffective Nkunku.
Palmer recorded 27 goals and 15 assists in 48 appearances during his debut season in West London.
It saw him given a lucrative contract extension last August.
Palmer received a huge boost to his previous £60,000-a-week wage.
And he signed on to remain with Chelsea until 2033.

A TRENDY baby pram has been recalled amid concerns it could pose a risk of serious injury to young children.
Parents are being asked to return the pram because of issues with its parking brake.
Certain products with the affected serial number could hazard the risk of unintentional release of the brake during use, putting children at risk of an insecurely parked pram.
Parents have been asked to check if their Stokke YOYO 3 Pram is part of the recall, a baby stroller that costs £319.
The item is described as “sturdy and super manoeuvrable” on the Stokke website.
However, a product safety recall from Gov.uk has told parents to stop using the product immediately and review the serial number marked on the underside of the pram.
The product was recalled on 21 February 2025.
Only products with the affected serial number are included in the recall, as they “do not meet the requirements of the General Product Safety Regulations 2005.”
The serial number that concerned parents should look out for is “142AA followed by numbers that fall below 0062239.”
Owners whose pram includes the letters ‘AA’ in the serial number are not affected.
However, those who find that their pram are included in the warning should head to Stokke’s recall portal, where they can enter the serial number into the checker.
They should then follow the steps provided to “seek the applicable remedy.”
The affected products have been totally withdrawn from the market, to prevent any further risk to young people.
And consumers are advised to contact their place of purchase to seek redress.
It comes after ASDA released an urgent recall for a George baby product over choking fears.
ASDA told parents to “immediately” stop using the George Home Baby Walker.
The children’s item is intended for toddlers to give them “extra stability when learning to walk”.
However, customers were asked to bring it back to their nearest store to receive a refund.
And they don’t even need to take their receipt with them.
An ASDA spokesperson said: “We have found that in a small number of cases, this product may pose a risk of choking due to the potential release of the metal bar used to hold the mirror and balls in place.”
“If you have purchased a George Home Baby Walker – barcode 5063089161265 – please stop using it immediately and bring it back to your nearest store where you will be given a refund. You do not need your receipt.”
IF you've got a baby coming very soon, here's our top tips on how to get your home ready for their arrival...
Secure Furniture and Appliances: Use brackets or straps to anchor heavy furniture and TVs to the wall. Ensure that large appliances like fridges and ovens are stable and cannot tip over.
Install Safety Gates: Place gates at the top and bottom of stairs. Use gates to block off rooms that are not baby-proofed.
Cover Electrical Outlets: Use outlet covers or plates to prevent little fingers from poking into sockets. Ensure that electrical cords are out of reach or secured.
Lock Cabinets and Drawers: Install child-proof locks on cabinets and drawers, especially in the kitchen and bathroom. Store hazardous substances, sharp objects, and small items that can be swallowed out of reach.
Use Corner and Edge Protectors: Attach soft corner and edge protectors to furniture with sharp edges. Consider using them on low tables, countertops, and fireplace hearths.
Secure Windows and Doors: Install window guards or locks to prevent windows from opening more than a few inches. Use door knob covers and door stoppers to prevent pinched fingers.
Maintain a Safe Sleep Environment: Use a firm mattress and avoid placing pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals in the cot. Ensure the cot meets current safety standards.
Keep Small Items Out of Reach: Regularly check the floor for small objects that could be choking hazards. Be mindful of items like coins, buttons, and small toys.
Adjust Water Heater Temperature: Set your water heater to a maximum of 49°C (120°F) to prevent scalding. Always test bath water temperature before placing your baby in.
Use Baby Monitors: Place baby monitors in the nursery to keep an eye on your little one. Ensure the monitor cords are out of reach to avoid strangulation hazards.
By taking these steps, you can create a safer environment for your baby.
