The Arizona Cardinals’ 2024-25 NFL season became lost after the Week 11 bye. The Cardinals were gaining steam from October to November, with four-straight wins and a 6-4 record.

Bianca Censori was a ‘demon’ who ‘cut lunch breaks’ for Yeezy staffers and asked ‘bizarre’ questions about Jewish people

BIANCA Censori acted like a “demon” who terrorized staffers at husband Kanye West’s fashion company Yeezy, a former staffer has claimed.

Journalist Louis Pisano spoke to a former Yeezy senior designer who lifted the lid on the “toxic” workplace in his substack, DISCOURSTED.

According to Pisano, Bianca, who was employed as an architect at Yeezy, changed at work after marrying boss Kanye, 47, in 2022.

In early 2023, she took on a more “authoritative” role at Yeezy, and allegedly began acting “cutthroat.”

“She turned into a demon,” the staffer told Pisano.

“She wanted to cut lunch breaks for all the seamstresses, even though we had to travel two hours to get to work every morning.”

The employee also accused Bianca, 30, of other “bizarre” behavior at Yeezy studios.

“Bianca was always doing weird stuff, like coming into our trailer and asking what we thought about Jews,” the source said.

“And one time, she even stole my vape.”

The U.S. Sun was also able to speak to the former staffer, who confirmed Pisano’s report.

A rep for Bianca and Kanye did not respond to The U.S. Sun’s request for comment.

According to Pisano’s past article, Bianca was texting an employee graphic porn images and memes with racial slurs.

“It was just bizarre, but at the time, I didn’t know what to make of it,” the employee said.

MARRIAGE OVER?

Just weeks after shocking onlookers with her nearly naked dress at the Grammys, Kanye and Bianca have seemingly split up.

“Bianca has always stood by him, but things have not been good after his rants,” a source said on February 13, referring to Kanye’s vile antisemitic and hate-filled rants on X and Instagram.

“They have been very up and down from the beginning.

“Bianca has put up with a lot but the Hitler and Nazi rants are often too much for her.”

Milo Yiannopolous, Kanye and Bianca’s rep, denied the divorce rumors at the time.

However, the pair was a no-show at Tyler, The Creator’s performance on Valentine’s Day, which they planned to attend.

And after many very public sightings in Los Angeles over the past month, Bianca has seemingly disappeared from the Hollywood scene.

At Kanye’s film event this weekend, a woman believed to be Bianca reportedly attended, covered completely in a black robe.

However, a source told The U.S. Sun that there are rumors the woman was not actually Bianca.

Chelsea vs Southampton preview

Southampton are the visitors to Stamford Bridge for this midweek round of Premier League fixtures.

And that will be a blessed relief for Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca, who is desperately in need of a win to maintain the club’s Champions League ambitions.

The Italian, 45, wanted a big response to their 3-0 defeat at Brighton, which he described as the “worst” game of his tenure.

And although the performance did improve, the result was the same as Aston Villa came from behind to secure maximum points at Villa Park.

It was the third time that Chelsea lost a Premier League game in which they’ve scored the first goal this season.

The London club now find themselves in seventh position with the likes of Aston Villa, Brighton and Newcastle all enjoying positive momentum in the battle for a top-five finish.

Chelsea have only beaten West Ham, Wolves and League Two Morecambe in 2025 but they’ll be pleased to welcome Southampton to west London given they’ve won 11 of their last 14 Premier League games against sides starting the day bottom of the table.

With Nicolas Jackson still sidelined, the Blues will hope to see a revival from Cole Palmer, who is without a goal involvement in any of Chelsea’s last five top-flight fixtures.

As for the visitors, Southampton arrive off the back of yet another chastening defeat.

The Saints lost 4-0 to Brighton last time out with the visitors registering 12 shots on target to their one and an xG of 4.01 to Southampton’s 0.13.

Ivan Juric’s side look dead and buried with perhaps their only target now avoiding the Premier League’s lowest ever points tally of 11, set by Derby County in 2007-08.

Chelsea have lost two of their last three Premier League games against Southampton, as many defeats as in their previous 18 against them (W11 D5). However, they did win the reverse fixture 5-1 in December.

Chelsea vs Southampton preview betting tips and predictions

Back of the Neto

Pedro Neto looked pretty sharp against Aston Villa in an unfamiliar role in the absence of Nicolas Jackson.

The Portuguese, 24, played as a central striker and was quite effective when providing an excellent assist for Enzo Fernandez’s opener. He made similar runs to Jackson and is well worth a punt should he continue in that role against the Premier League’s worst defence.

He’s also enjoyed a good record against Tuesday’s visitors, netting three goals in five career appearances against Southampton.

First goalscorer and correct score predictions

Chelsea vs Southampton

  • First goalscorer: Cole Palmer at 14/5 with talkSPORT BET – CLAIM HERE
  • Correct score: 3-0 at 15/2 with Betfred – CLAIM HERE

Assist

Cole Palmer would be the first option for an assist this week, but given he’s around 7/4 I’ll take a chance on Chelsea defender Marc Cucurella at a sizeable 6/1.

The 26-year-old has provided three assists this season and has created four goalscoring opportunities for this colleagues over the last six Premier League matches – only two less than Cole Palmer.

Nobody has created more “big chances” than the full-back (2) in that period, while he also boasts the highest cross completion of any Chelsea player.

Watch the shock moment MAFS star Hannah breaks down in tears as she comes face to face with rival at explosive reunion

MARRIED At First Sight UK fans can expect drama, drama, drama on tonight’s very special reunion show.

The episode is set to be so explosive that Hannah Norburn will be seen crying as she gets ready to come face-to-face with her rival.

During her time on MAFS, Hannah was involved in plenty of drama

She clashed with Polly and Holly after she was accused of flirting with Sionainn Carmichael‘s husband Ryan Livesey.

Things imploded when she found solace with another groom, Orson, even sharing a kiss with him after his marriage collapsed.

However, by the reunion she made a reappearance and was revealed to be dating Ryan outside of the experiment.

Their relationship didn’t last however, with the couple going their separate ways shortly after.

However, it’s her beef with Holly that is set to blow up again at the Married At First Sight reunion, which airs tonight.

In a sneak peek to the episode this evening, which sees MAFS stars from all different series’ come together, Hannah can be seen getting anxious at Holly’s arrival.

She’s heard saying how just the “thought of Holly arriving” makes her want to cry.

The two women had numerous rows on the show, and some of them were pretty hard to watch.

At some point Holly and her pal Polly were both accused of being “bullies” towards Hannah.

NEW MAN IN HANNAH’S LIFE

Meanwhile, this latest news comes just days after The Sun exclusively revealed that Hannah is dating the newly single Paul Liba.

They both appear on tonight’s reunion special together.

A source told us: “They’ve been secretly sneaking out on dates for a while and wanted to keep things under wraps but it all came out at the reunion filming.

Hannah and Stephen leaving Married at First Sight.
Hannah’s time on MAFS was filled with drama

“Nothing stays secret in the world of MAFS because everyone knows everyone.”

Paul appeared on the 2023 version of the show, getting married to bride Tasha Jay.

The couple remained together after the show aired, but shocked fans when they announced they split after a year together in November 2024.

Tasha posted a statement online that read: “It is with a heavy heart that I am announcing Paul and I have decided to part ways.

Paul Liba and Tasha Jay, Married at First Sight.
E4
Tasha and Paul first got together in 2023 but recently split[/caption]

“There isn’t any major reason, we have just come to terms with the fact that we are not right for each other.

“Paul is the loveliest guy I’ve ever met and I’m grateful for the time we’ve shared together and I’m glad that we can remain friends.

“I’m utterly heartbroken that I’m having to write this post, but it is best for both of us.’

“Thank you to everyone who has supported us as a couple. I hope you can now support us on our individual journeys.”

In comparison, Hannah had a disastrous time on MAFS, joining the show as a late bride and tying the knot with Stephen Nolson.

But despite initially seeming like a good fit, the pair’s relationship dissolved quickly – and it was only made worse when the girls of the group didn’t get along with her.

You can watch the drama unfold tonight on E4 at 9pm

Mafs couples that have stood the test of time

Loved-up Tayah Victoria and Adam Aveling of series six fame had the first Mafs baby.

The pair couldn’t keep their hands off each other on the programme and quickly found their feet in the outside world, moving into Adam’s Doncaster home.

Just 18 months after meeting, the couple welcomed their daughter Beau.

Season five couple Michelle Walder and Owen Jenkins also managed to make their marriage work away from the cameras and had their first child in December.

Teacher Michelle, 29, has no regrets about taking part in the experiment. She told us: “I just feel very lucky and thankful that it has worked out – and excited for everything to come.”

Michelle and Owen were both sick of dating apps when they applied in 2019.

Owen recalled: “I had been out for some drinks with a friend after work.

“While he was out for a cigarette I was scrolling on Instagram waiting for him to come back in.

“The MAFS advert was the last thing I saw, and I joked, ‘Wouldn’t it be funny if I signed up?’

“A few beers later when I was back at home I sent in the application, and the rest is history.”

Another couple to make Mafs UK history is Zoe Clifton and Jenna Robinson.

Despite a slight rocky start, where they clashed over Jenna’s vegan lifestyle, the show’s first same sex pairing are still going strong.

They even have a successful podcast together called Life With a Pod.

Jenna shed light on being involved in the show earlier this year when she told us: “We’re not legally married, and I never felt like we were. I definitely feel the process makes you take the relationship a lot more seriously and having the help of the experts… if you can survive that process it sets a firm foundation for a long-lasting relationship.”

Nicky Henderson hints at shock Cheltenham entry for horse banned from big race

NICKY HENDERSON has hinted at a stunning Cheltenham entry for a horse banned from one of the big races at the Festival.

Legendary Seven Barrows boss Hendo had mapped out a route to the Morebattle Hurdle for awesome William Hill Hurdle winner Joyeuse.

Jockey Nico de Boinville riding Joyeuse in a horse race.
Joyeuse could be a shock contender in the Mares’ Hurdle
PA

But she wasn’t among the 23 entries for Saturday’s big contest at Kelso.

And now Henderson says ‘everything is under consideration’ – including a shot at the Mares’ Hurdle – for the JP McManus-owned, £200,000 half-sister to former Champion Hurdle winner Epatante.

Joyeuse hasn’t met the five-run criteria for the County Hurdle, the race for which she was cut to 8-1.

She has raced four times over hurdles altogether, three times this season, winning her latest by eight lengths from Lump Sum and being put up 15lbs to 138 in the process.

Now a possible supplementary entry to the Mares’ Hurdle at a cost of £4,800 could be on the cards.

Henderson said: “She’s fine but she’s not going to Kelso.

“Everything is under consideration for her I would say, we can put it like that, we haven’t got any further.

“We did think about Kelso but it was only three weeks ago and she would have had an awful lot of weight, so we’ve decided to leave that.”

Any supplementary entries for the Mares’ must be made by noon on March 5, with declarations four days later.

Joyeuse was immediately introduced at 5-1 for the Mares’ with Unibet while William Hill and 888 went 7-1.

Gordon Elliott’s Brighterdaysahead is 1-2 fav for the Grade 1 but could be Champion Hurdle-bound.

The Betfair Exchange knows what’s happening before it’s official – as was the case with Kawaboomga being ruled out of the Festival.

And it could be telling that Brighterdaysahead is no longer favourite on there for the Mares’, having been replaced by Jade De Grugy.

Brighterdaysahead was matched as low as 1.8 but has drifted all the way out to 4.5, while she is 4.7 for the Champion Hurdle.

On the sportsbooks, Willie Mullins’ pair Lossiemouth (5-4) and Jade De Grugy (5-2) are second and third-favs respectively for the Mares’.

While Henry de Bromhead’s July Flower is a best-price 6-1.

Major motorway used by 120,000 drivers every day to close over TWO weekends next month – plan your journey

EGJ014 M27 motorway in Hampshire UK
EGJ014 M27 motorway in Hampshire UK

A MAJOR motorway used by 120,000 drivers every day is set to close over two weekends next month.

The M27 will close on several nights in March, April, and May, National Highways has announced.

As part of a £83 million project, the M27 near Southampton is being resurfaced with 180mm of lower-noise asphalt.

The work is set to take place on the eastbound carriageway, between junctions 5 and 7.

It will begin in February 2025 and its estimated finish is Spring 2026.

This comes after years of complaints from local residents regarding road noise.

National Highways also plans to “clear vegetation” and “prepare the westbound carriageway for the next traffic management phase”.

An update on its website said: “This project will provide a low-noise surface along the M27 between junctions 5 and 7.

“We’re also making significant drainage improvements to the road and safety improvements to the central reservation.

“All together these measures will ensure a smoother ride for drivers, make the road quieter, improve safety and ensure the road lasts longer.”

The M27 is a motorway in Hampshire which connects Cadnam and Portsmouth.

It is 27.9 miles long and opened around 1975.
