Kennedy’s tenure at the helm has been tumultuous, to say the least with fans frequently questioning her leadership. However, if reports are to be believed, the prolific producer is […]

A TENNIS star repeatedly smashed his racket and launched an astonishing X-rated rant after suffering tie-break torment.
Tristan Boyer exploded over umpiring decisions in a tense defeat against Alex Bolt – the boyfriend of British ace Katie Swan.
American Boyer, 23, lost 3-6 6-7 to the Aussie in the first round of the San Diego Open.
Bolt’s partner, 25-year-old Swan, joked last summer “Wag life is stressful after seeing him come from match-point down to qualify for Wimbledon.
And the Bristolian must have gone through another range of emotions if she saw the heated finale to his clash with Boyer.
The first flashpoint emerged when the Californian was a set down and locked at 4-4 in the tie-break.
As Boyer bounced the ball preparing to serve, chair umpire Nick Flentie called him up for a time violation.
After the World No. 113 served, Flentie then controversially ruled he had sent his first groundshot long.
Boyer appeared upset with both verdicts but contained himself – albeit only briefly.
Moments later, when he sent the ball into the net on match point, he let out his true feelings.

He yelled out and bent over to bang his racket into the ground several times in quick succession.
Boyer left it crumpled near the baseline as he jogged in to shake Bolt’s hand and unleash his views to Flentie.
He screamed: “Unbelievable. It’s ridiculous. You guys can’t do one thing right!
“God, it p***es me off. God, it’s frustrating.
“All over the place, horrendous calls. Horrendous calls!”
Boyer then focused on the punishment he picked up for taking too much time.
Waving his arms frantically, he said: “What are you doing giving me a time violation?!
“There are three people here. There are three people here watching me! Three people!
“It’s the first round, it’s ridiculous. We are not on TV, there is nobody watching, nobody is watching the stream. You’re ridiculous!”
Flentie responded calmly, saying: “We are seeing it differently.”
He also added: “We are not going to just bend the rules’.”
That didn’t seem to work with Boyer, though.
He kept up his verbal volley as he left the court.
And as a final touch, he retrieved his racket and gave it one more bashing on the ground.
Meanwhile, Bolt stayed well out of it.
Tennis fans were entranced last year when the two-time Australian Open men’s doubles quarter-finalist and Swan swapped affectionate messages on Instagram.
The couple also shared touching pictures together – including an embrace after tearful Bolt got through the Wimbledon qualifiers.
IRELAND AM star Martin King is filling in for Ryan Tubridy on his Q102 radio show this week.
The Virgin Media host is keeping Tubs’ seat warm while he enjoys some well deserved time off.
Martin will be on air from 10am to 1pm all week until this Friday.
The 61-year-old recorded a video of himself sitting happily in the studio and said: “Hello all.
“I’m busy this week. I’m filling in for Ryan on Dublin’s Q102 and here for the entire week.
“Our gorgeous, brand-new shiny, bright and beautiful new studio – it’s very impressive. We’ve been talking about all kinds of things.”
And it looks like Martin caused some controversy with his listeners after speaking about bed bugs.
He explained: “People are giving out about me talking about bed bugs. They’re afraid to get into their beds.
“Just remember folks, those bed bugs, when you climb into bed tonight… they’re waiting for you.”
Martin shared the clip on Instagram and had everyone in stitches laughing.
Paul wrote: “Brilliant Martin.”
Frances said: “Hi Martin, you doing grand. The bed bugs are mine, I know because I the only in my bed, so they when see me coming, they run a mile, because I wear a lot of deep heat, now Martin!”
Emmett added: “So funny this morning with your toilet humour! I nearly s*** myself laughing.”
The Virgin Media host and his wife Jenny share five kids together, Dean, James, Victoria, Matthew and Alex.
Martin’s son Dean is father to five-year-old Mia – and it’s safe to say she loves spending time with her famous granddad, who she sweetly nicknamed “Gaga”.
In the adorable clip posted to his Instagram page, the TV star and Mia looked happy as ever as they played one of her favourite games.
The doting grandfather wrote in his caption: “Don’t fall down the hole. Mia loves this game with her Gaga.”
Martin sat Mia on his lap in the video and went through the “rules of the game” with her.
The 61-year-old said: “Rule number one, you have to give Gaga a…”
Mia cutely finished off his sentence as she exclaimed: “A hug!”
It’s been more than a decade since George R.R. Martin started writing The Winds of Winter, and seeing that he’s still far from finished, all fans could do is revisit his previous interviews and from there, come up with our own speculation as to how the upcoming novel will begin its story. It’s a good […]
