World's most 'perfect woman' says she can no longer recognise herself in old photos - after spending almost $90k on plastic surgery
An influencer who has spent almost $90,000 on plastic surgery to become the 'perfect woman' has admitted she can no longer recognise herself in old photos. Janaina Prazeres tells Daily Mail she has purged her social media of old photos because she feels disconnected from her pre-surgery appearance.

Janaina has undergone more than twenty plastic surgery procedures over recent years, totalling more than US$60,000 (AU$85,879). Janaina's not the only one who can no longer recognise herself, as she has also previously run into issues on dating apps and with airport customs.

This is the one thing you’ll never hear a politician say – The Irish Times
Minister for Finance Simon Harris, photographed in 2011, the year the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council was established. So there must be a special place in heaven reserved for the members of the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council who made another spirited attempt this week to nudge the Government towards a more prudent fiscal path. Public spending has more than doubled since 2012 – that’s spending on public works, public services, pensions and welfare. Public spending buys public goods. But the Government exists in a political culture that is entirely unreceptive to the sort of warnings about long-term danger that have become the Cassandra-like chorus from the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council.

King surprises joggers at Sandringham parkrun for second year in a row
Charles attended the event on Saturday morning as a spectator, joining ambassador Sarah Byatt to cheer the joggers as they completed their first lap. This is the second year in a row Charles has surprised the Sandringham runners ahead of World Cancer Day on February 4. Last year, the King chatted to members of the event as they met to mark the occasion with cake and coffee at the visitors’ centre on his Norfolk estate. The parkrun, organised in partnership with Move Against Cancer’s 5K Your Way group, was set up to support those living with and beyond cancer, as well as families, friends and healthcare professionals. Charles has been receiving cancer treatment as an outpatient since early February 2024.

Jeffrey Epstein was banned from Xbox Live for 'harassing, threatening and/or abusing' other players, newly released file reveals
Billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was banned from the online gaming platform Xbox Live in 2013 for threatening his fellow gamers, a file released by the Department of Justice shows. The email, released Friday, seemingly notified Epstein that his access had 'been permanently suspended due to harassment, threats, and/or abuse of other players.' 'This conduct has been determined to be severe, repeated, and/or excessive,' continues the email, dated December 19, 2013. The emails were among the hundreds of thousands of Epstein files released by the Department of Justice on Friday morning. Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act on November 19, following a civil war within the Republican Party over the records which the President branded a Democrat 'hoax.'

Michael Flatley made millions from being Lord of the Dance... but has his addiction to high living wiped out his fortune?
Back in his Lord of the Dance heyday, Michael Flatley is said to have been gifted a £10,000 pair of diamond-encrusted tap shoes, complete with gold heels. Michael Flatley (centre) leaving Belfast High Court, after a legal order blocking him from engaging with the Lord of the Dance production has been overturnedIf not unduly flash, Flatley is certainly well-travelled. His sister dragged him to an Irish dance class aged 11, and six years later he won the World Irish Dance title. But he warned: 'If you are going to work with Michael Flatley, you had better play by his rules. This all feels like a major fall from grace for him and it's sad because he has been such a great ambassador [for Ireland and Irish dance].'

Jilly Cooper’s farewell chapter: David Tennant and Aidan Turner join Rivals stars at memorial service
But then, there weren't many like the late, great Dame Jilly Cooper. As Ms Blunt said in her eulogy, Dame Jilly was, for those who came of age in the early 1990s, the Taylor Swift of the literary world. Through the Rutshire Chronicles, Dame Jilly introduced many to sex, horses and the upper classes – and words such as 'heavenly', 'orgasmic' and 'ravishing'. Four–legged fans also joined the congregation, including two of the dogs from Rivals, a labrador and a terrier cross. Some may say such an act would have raised a wry smile from Dame Jilly herself.

Liverpool boss Arne Slot changes his tune as he faces reality with 'judge me' remark
Liverpool boss Arne Slot changes his tune as he faces reality with 'judge me' remarkLiverpool were champions last season in Arne Slot's first year but they've fallen away in his second season and the Dutchman is ready to be judged on the here and nowView 2 Images Arne Slot has put last year's achievements behind him (Image: Getty Images)Liverpool boss Arne Slot admits it is fair to dismiss last season's achievements and purely judge him on the current campaign with heat very much on the Reds' boss. The Dutchman had the unenviable task of replacing Jurgen Klopp in 2024, but delivered the Premier League title at the first attempt. This term it has been a different story and, despite twice breaking the British transfer record, the Merseyside outfit could miss out on the Champions League. A loss at Bournemouth last time out made it five league games without a win as they languish down in sixth. That said, even Jamie Carragher has confessed that the Liverpool boss would "not have a leg to stand on" if he missed out on Champions League football.

This year almost feels like a French home Six Nations
This almost feels like a French home Six Nations, or at any rate everything is dictated by France Télévisions, and so they will launch the tournament next Thursday against Ireland at the Stade de France (kick-off 8.10pm Irish, live on Virgin Media and ITV). One of the stand-out features of the Six Nations is the degree to which away fans blend in with the home supporters, like no other annual tournament in world rugby. France’s last five Grand Slams dating back to 1998 have all been even years, including all four in the Six Nations era. “At the beginning of my tenure, I opted for a conservative approach to build collective experience within the French national team. Uini Atonio 'will not be able to continue his playing career,' France Rugby said.

Big developers might find it hard to build a strong legal case against rent reforms
Constitutional law experts are sceptical, however, of the legal strategy advanced by the builders, who argue the proposed reforms “pose significant constitutional issues relating to proportionality, lawfulness and property rights”. “While the legislative measures restrict constitutional property rights, these rights are heavily qualified in the interests of social justice and the common good,” he said. He said while the Constitution enshrined property rights, the constitutionality of interventions that curtailed these rights were measured more broadly, including against the common good. Dr Laura Cahillane, of the University of Limerick school of law, said: “Issues like this always raise questions of constitutional rights, since our constitution contains very strong protection for property rights. The builders’ legal advice also points out that advice in recent years from previous attorneys general has held that such a step would be unconstitutional.

Banks eye Zippay instant payments launch before St Patrick’s Day
A previous attempt by the banks to bring in an instant payments system, abandoned in 2023, was based around developing a new app. The three domestic Irish banks plan to launch their new instant person-to-person mobile payments service, Zippay, on their apps by St Patrick’s Day, according to sources. A previous attempt by the banks to bring in an instant payments system, abandoned in 2023, was based around developing a new app. In 2020, the Republic’s major banks decided to launch an instant payments mobile app through a joint venture named Synch Payments. The payments landscape has continued to evolve rapidly since the Synch project was dropped, including European banks having to join the Single Euro Payments Area (Sepa) instant payments system early last year.

Melania Trump's new Amazon documentary reviewed: More outfit changes than The Devil Wears Prada... but we're no nearer to unravelling the mystery of the First Lady
It could so easily be the opening scene of a Real Housewives episode but, instead, it's a new documentary about America's First Lady, Melania Trump, which opened in cinemas yesterday. Despite becoming First Lady for the second time in 2025, Mrs Trump has always been something of a mystery. Amazon released a new documentary about the First Lady Melania Trump, but ticket sales have been a disaster on both sides of the Atlantic. Pictured: Donald and Melania Trump at the President's inauguration ball in January 2025Melania at Trump's inauguration. But surely Mrs Trump wants to be seen as something other than a glamorous clothes horse?
