Mathilde Seigner dit tout : Les liftings, son compagnon, sa soeur Emmanuelle…

Mathilde Seigner revient au cinéma dans la comédie Ni une, ni deux, l’histoire d’une actrice qui, suite à une opération de chirurgie esthétique quelque peu ratée, doit faire appel à un sosie. Dans ce long métrage, elle joue ainsi deux rôles, deux fois plus de travail mais un seul bonheur pour la comédienne très populaire. En interview pour Paris Match, elle s’exprime sur divers sujets avec sa franchise habituelle, que ce soit sur la cosmétique esthétique, sa soeur Emmanuelle ou encore son compagnon Mathieu Petit, père de son fils unique, Louis.

Les injections pour la ride du lion, ça ne tient pas !

Son long métrage abordant la question du temps qui passe et des traces qu’il laisse sur les corps, Mathilde Seigner réagit sans tabou : “Je fais de petites choses pour essayer d’arrêter le temps, des massages manuels du visage et un peu de laser, mais j’ai peur des piqûres et je confirme que les injections pour la ride du lion, ça ne tient pas ! Je dis aujourd’hui [à 51 ans] que je ne ferais jamais de lifting, mais je changerai peut-être d’avis dans dix ans.” Il n’y a pas que l’âge avec lequel il n’est pas toujours facile de composer, la notoriété est parfois un fardeau : “Quand on est connu, on doute toujours de la sincérité de celui qui est en face. On ignore pourquoi les gens vous aiment vraiment.

Est-ce qu’elles savent, ces femmes, les dégâts qu’elles font sur sa famille ?”

Grande gueule, Mathilde Seigner assume ses coups d’éclat et salue les rares autres personnalités qui ne se défilent pas. Corinne Masiero, “dans le genre gaucho“, ou Catherine Deneuve. Elle souligne ainsi ses prises de position pour Roman Polanski, cinéaste dont l’affaire d’agression sexuelle sur mineure est revenue de plus belle sur le tapis avec le mouvement #MeToo. La comédienne se sent d’autant plus touchée que le réalisateur est l’époux de sa soeur Emmanuelle : “J’admire plus que tout [Catherine Deneuve] qui n’a eu de cesse de [le] défendre alors que toutes les bonnes femmes lui tombaient dessus, sans même savoir de quoi elles parlaient. (…) Est-ce qu’elles savent, ces femmes, les dégâts qu’elles font sur sa famille ?” Plus loin, elle fera l’éloge de Nicolas Sarkozy, qu’elle a trouvé courageux car il a “sorti [son] beau-frère de prison” : “Ne serait-ce pour ça et ce qu’il a fait pour ma famille, je le respecte. Comme j’aime Carla Bruni, une première dame d’une grande élégance qui a toujours su rester à sa place.

Je ne lui laisse rien passer

Au fil de la conversation, on en apprend un peu plus sur la relation entre Mathilde Seigner et sa soeur Emmanuelle (52 ans), avec qui elle partage le goût pour l’insolence mais leur carrière n’ont pas suivi le même chemin : “Emmanuelle était la belle, moi la rigolote. Ce qui est insensé, c’est qu’on ne nous a jamais proposé de tourner ensemble. J’adorerais faire Les Demoiselles de Rochefort d’aujourd’hui. Moi, je serais Dorléac et Emmanuelle, Deneuve.” Et ne cherchez pas à voir de quelconque rivalité entre elles : “Par chance on n’a pas le même emploi. Emmanuelle n’a pas mon côté agricole, c’est une vraie citadine.” Les deux femmes sont encore plus proches maintenant depuis que Mathilde est devenue maman, il y a douze ans. Un enfant né quand elle avait presque 40 ans, avec son compagnon Mathieu Petit, qui a su conquérir le coeur de cette femme entière : “Je ne lui laisse rien passer non plus mais, comme il est solide, il tient la route. C’est un papa merveilleux et, en plus, très talentueux.”

With FBI Reportedly Investigating DeJoy, House Democrat Says 'He Should Be Fired Now'

The FBI has reportedly launched an investigation into whether Postmaster General Louis DeJoy violated federal campaign finance laws during his tenure as the top executive at New Breed Logistics.

News of the probe, first reported Thursday by the Washington Post, prompted fresh calls for DeJoy’s immediate termination as head of the U.S. Postal Service, which has seen dramatic performance declines since DeJoy took over the agency last June. Only the USPS Board of Governors—which appointed DeJoy last May—has the authority to remove the postmaster general.

“DeJoy is corrupt to the core,” said Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-N.J.). “He should be fired now.”

According to the Post, “FBI agents in recent weeks interviewed current and former employees of DeJoy and the business, asking questions about political contributions and company activities.”

“Prosecutors also issued a subpoena to DeJoy himself for information,” the Post reported, citing unnamed people familiar with the ongoing probe.

In a statement to the Post, DeJoy spokesperson Mark Corallo confirmed the postmaster general is under investigation but insisted that DeJoy “has always been scrupulous in his adherence to the campaign contribution laws and has never knowingly violated them.”

The FBI investigation follows bombshell reporting by the Post last year detailing DeJoy’s alleged involvement in a straw-donor scheme under which New Breed Logistics employees were reimbursed for making political donations.

“Louis was a national fundraiser for the Republican Party. He asked employees for money. We gave him the money, and then he reciprocated by giving us big bonuses,” David Young, who served as human resources director at New Breed Logistics, told the Post in September. “When we got our bonuses, let’s just say they were bigger, they exceeded expectations—and that covered the tax and everything else.”

Verstappen leads Ferrari duo in first practice in Baku

Red Bull’s Max Verstappen clocked in fastest in first practice for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the Dutchman edging Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc by just 0.043s.

Carlos Sainz confirmed the Scuderia’s street circuit form as he completed the top three, while Mercedes enjoyed a slow start to its Baku weekend with Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas concluding their morning session P7 and P10 respectively.

After Monaco, F1 takes to the streets of Baku, but save for a few tight and twisty corners there is little in common between the two urban venues, although Red Bull is determined to pick up where it left off in Monte Carlo.

F2 practice raised the curtain on Friday morning, allowing for a handy clean-up of the dusty circuit, but Baku’s tarmac was still fairly ‘green’ when drivers were given the green light for FP1.

And there was no hanging about as 17 out of the field’s 20 drivers sprung into action at the outset, with Verstappen, Bottas and Hamilton joining the action later than their colleagues.

Aero checks were also in order early on, with several cars sporting flow-vis paint jobs or test rigs, including McLaren’s chargers which reverted to their papaya livery.

Charles Leclerc positioned himself at the top of the time sheet as he set the session’s first benchmark time, but the Ferrari driver was quickly overhauled by Hamilton.

But as he pressed on, the Briton, running on the soft tyre, lowered the fastest lap to a 1m43.893 that comfortably cleared Verstappen and AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly.

Halfway through the session, Hamilton remained on top, with Leclerc and Norris in tow, but Daniel Ricciardo then suddenly leapfrogged the group to go fastest by 0.161s.

Norris was then on course for a dynamite lap, but the McLaren charger threw it away with a 180-degree spin at turn 16, contrary to Leclerc and Sainz who promptly dispatched Ricciardo at the top by half a second!

In the meantime, Hamilton indulged in a rare mistake when he locked up and was caught out at Turn 15, but fortunately with no other consequence than a set of burned up rubber.

Down the road, Verstappen expressed his frustration over the radio with the inattentive Nikita Mazepin after his flyer was ruined by the Haas rookie.

But the Dutchman, now free of traffic, charged on and duly snatched P1 with a 1m43.184s that edged Leclerc by 0.043s.

A series of lock-ups in Turns 15 and 16 prompted several local yellow flags that disrupted the final minutes of the session and prevented any improvements.

Verstappen thus remained on top from Leclerc and Sainz, with Ferrari emulating early on its Monaco form. Perez, Ricciardo and Gasly rounded off the top six while a few botched laps left Hamilton down in P7, in front of Norris, Alpine’s Fernando Alonso and Bottas.

Both Alfa Romeo and Aston Martin pairs concluded the morning in the second half as did Yuki Tsunoda and Esteban Ocon, while the Williams and Haas drivers brought up the rear.

GOP-Backed Global Gag Rule Is Still Harming Women and Must Be Permanently Revoked: Report

Former U.S. President Donald Trump’s aggressively anti-choice global gag rule may be a thing of the past for now, but it is still causing “immense harm” to women around the world and should be permanently revoked.

“The Trump administration is gone but the harm from this policy continues to impact access to healthcare, particularly for the most marginalized women and girls around the world.”
—Shannon Kowalski, IWHC

So says a report published Wednesday by the International Women’s Health Coalition (IWHC), which documented the policy’s harmful effects on women in four countries. 

The IWHC report (pdf), entitled Care Denied: Year Three Impact of Trump’s Global Gag Rule, studied the effects of the global gag rule—which blocks foreign organizations that provide information, referrals, or services for abortion, or advocate for decriminalization or expanding access, from receiving U.S. funding—on women in Kenya, Nepal, Nigeria, and South Africa. 

Formally known as the Mexico City Policy, the global gag rule first went into effect during the administration of then-President Ronald Reagan in 1985. Every Democratic president since then has revoked the policy, while all Republican presidents—most recently Donald Trump in 2017—have reinstated it. Trump, who expanded the policy to cover all U.S. international healthcare aid, sought to further broaden it in 2020. President Joe Biden rescinded the policy in January.

Reseach has shown that the global gag rule has had the opposite effect of what its proponent intended—it has been linked to increased pregnancies and abortions in countries that accept U.S. aid.

The new IWHC report found that although the global gag rule has been revoked, it “continues to exacerbate existing barriers to healthcare access,” with “services including comprehensive abortion care, contraceptive services, and HIV/AIDS testing and treatment” becoming less accessible, according to an executive summary.

That’s because it takes months or even years following the lifting of the policy for organizations to draft and deliver funding proposals to U.S. aid agencies, and groups know that all their hard work may have been in vain due to the possibility of a future Republican administration reinstating the global gag rule. 

The report’s summary says the Mexico City Policy “continues to be harmful to the health and well-being of women and marginalized groups such as young people, people living in rural areas, and poor communities,” and “creates funding gaps” while continuing “to fragment health services and halt critical health programs.”

Additionally, the global gag rule is “shrinking civil society spaces, silencing voices, and creating distrust amongst collaborators and partners. Partnerships and coalitions are becoming fractured due to the policy, thereby limiting civil society’s ability to work effectively and hold their governments accountable.”

“The policy continues to embolden regressive actors and is creating new opportunities for such players to expand their influence,” the summary states. “It has also been providing an excuse to hinder progress on sexual and reproductive health for individuals who do not support comprehensive sexual and reproductive health and rights within their professional capacities.”

“Governments of countries receiving large amounts of U.S. global health funds have remained largely silent regarding the consequences of the policy on the health of their own people and have failed to take significant steps to mitigate its effects,” it adds. 

IWHC recommends the following steps to mitigate the ongoing impact of the global gag rule:

  • The U.S. Congress should permanently end the Mexico City Policy through passage of the Global HER Act, proposed legislation led by Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) that would permanently repeal the global gag rule;
  • Congress should also repeal other abortion restrictions in U.S. law including the Helms Amendment and similar restrictions on the use of American foreign assistance funds; and
  • Donor governments and organizations should seek to close the funding gap by increasing funding to groups affected by the global gag rule, while prioritizing local and community-based organizations.

“The research is clear that the global gag rule is a deadly policy and will have far-reaching implications on global healthcare for years to come,” said IWHC advocacy and policy director Shannon Kowalski in a statement introducing the report. “The Trump administration is gone but the harm from this policy continues to impact access to healthcare, particularly for the most marginalized women and girls around the world. And the threat of future harm is still very much a concern.”

“We are encouraged by the Biden administration’s action so far to remove this policy,” Kowalski added. “Now, it is time for U.S. policymakers to pass the Global HER Act and end the global gag rule for good. Women’s health and lives are at stake.”

Verstappen: Hamilton experience ‘doesn’t mean he’s more complete’

Max Verstappen says that Lewis Hamilton’s vast experience in F1 does not necessarily make him the more complete driver.

The titanic battle between Red Bull and Mercedes’ leading contenders will resume this weekend at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

However, for the first time ever in his career, Verstappen is leading the drivers’ championship, with a four-point advantage over Hamilton.

The tight battle pits the two best teams in Grand Prix racing against each other, but also two drivers with very different levels of experience.

Verstappen was just 10-years-old when Hamilton made his F1 debut with McLaren in 2007. Since, the Briton has put 271 races under his belt, as well as a record 98 wins and seven world titles.

However, Verstappen insists that experience does not imply that Hamilton is necessarily the more complete driver, although one would be very hard pressed to single out a relative weakness in Hamilton’s sturdy armor.

“I don’t agree. But that’s my opinion,” Verstappen told Sky Italia. “Yes, he’s more experienced. But that doesn’t mean he’s more complete.

“It’s my opinion and there’s no need for anyone else to agree with me.”

The Red Bull driver and twelve-time Grand Prix winner was also asked whether he was envious of his rival and his impressive track record.

“No and I don’t envy anyone for anything,” he answered. “I’m very happy with who I am. I’m lucky to be in F1 and the life I live. And I’m not jealous or envious of anyone. I’m happy if someone has a life.”

Only time will tell how the season will pan out and if Verstappen can beat Hamilton to the title, but at the very least, the Red Bull charger hopes 2021 will be a year to remember.

“I hope 2021 can be remembered as a good year,” he said.

“Obviously I hope to finish ahead of everyone, but I’m not the only one who dreams of that. You have to live in the present, I know I have to be fast and we will have to work hard throughout the season.

“I know a lot of people are already working for 2022, but we have a good opportunity this year and we will have to give everything.”

Jets’ Robert Saleh plans to develop young cornerbacks, doesn’t shut door on signing free agent

It has seemed impossible filling all of the holes on the Jets roster after the 2020 season. After coming off a 2-14 year, the club still has a need at cornerback, but there aren’t many options.

The Gang Green cornerback room currently has: Bryce Hall, Lamar Jackson, Javelin Guidry, Bless Austin, Isaiah Dunn, Brandin Echols, Jason Pinnock, Corey Ballentine, Justin Hardee, Zane Lewis and Michael Carter II.

That’s an inexperienced group. Other than Hardee, none of those cornerbacks have been in the NFL longer than three years. And only Austin has double digit starts (16).

The questions are justified as the group is a clear weak point on the defense and head coach Robert Saleh knows it.

“There’s a lot of work to be had obviously,” Saleh said. “They’re young, they’ve got great mental demeanor, they’ve got great content, they want to learn, they want to do good.”

The best bet, and main option, is to ride with the young players and develop them. There will be some rough moments because they’re raw and inexperienced, but the Jets can hope a few will turn into quality starters.

There’s also been discussions about the Jets bringing in a veteran to improve the position. But Saleh thought that would impede the development of the young players.

“We’ve got a lot of time,” Saleh said. “The easy answer right now is to bring in a veteran, but a veteran will probably just eat up reps and not give us an ability to look at all these young guys who are just starving for an opportunity. And we’ve got time and we’ve got a lot of opportunities for them to showcase who they are and what they’re capable of. On the coaching side we’ve got a lot of time to help these young men get better.”

When asked specifically about bringing in a veteran, Saleh didn’t completely dismiss it: “Right now, the focus completely is on the guys we have. We’re excited about the group that we have, we really are, and we’re excited to work with them. We’ll cross that bridge with progressive veterans when, when we get to that bridge but right now the sole focus is just on our guys.”

Here’s the issue: there aren’t any realistic free agent veteran options that will significantly improve the group. The one name that surfaces is Richard Sherman, but the pairing is unlikely since Sherman wants to play only two more seasons and wants to be on a title contender. The Jets aren’t in that realm yet.

The other available options are Steven Nelson, Nickell Robey-Coleman, Gareon Conley, Bashaud Breeland, Darqueze Dennard and D.J.Hayden. Those choices aren’t making a significant contribution on the field. None of them have made a Pro Bowl, but they can be solid (so can some of the youngsters, it just won’t be as soon). And they’ll be able to provide some veteran leadership and experience to teach the young corners on the roster how to be NFL corners.

The Jets chose not to draft a cornerback earlier in the draft because they were focused on adding offensive talent to build around their franchise quarterback Zach Wilson. They also didn’t address the cornerback spot during free agency. They spent money on the defensive line because a strong defensive line will be the staple of their 4-3 attacking scheme.

The Jets probably will add a veteran cornerback eventually, because it’ll help the maturation process for their young players. But there aren’t many options that will significantly improve the group.
