A fire has broken out at Coachella music festival in California, with footage showing the blaze tearing through a shower block. Attendees shared films on social media of the fire, which took place at the festival’s campsite in the early hours of Saturday. The festival – which kicked off on Friday evening with a performance by Donald Glover’s alter ego, Childish Gambino – is one of the world’s most popular music events, with tens of thousands of people attending over its first weekend. But the fire caused panic, with footage posted online showing a man urging festivalgoers to “back up, back up” as the mobile shower unit stood ablaze behind him. showers at Coachella campground caught on fire... “everybody out of the showers now!” - someone in their towel running out pic.twitter.com/WPPUHjXgxe — 🍯 (@spxheda) April 13, 2019 couple of explosion sounds heard by us campers - luckily fire seems to be out pic.twitter.com/r2LofmUyj3 — 🍯 (@spxheda) April 13, 2019 One camper ...

Former US president Bill Clinton and his wife, two-time democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton responded to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's win in the Israeli elections while on their speaking tour throughout the US and Canada. "You should never underestimate him. He's highly intelligent," Bill Clinton said. "When we see Israeli elections, we say, 'How does this shake out for the peace process?' There's lots of minority parties in Israel, and more of them aligned with the settler movement or religious fundamentalism than secularism or wanting peace." This comes a few weeks after a new batch of classified and sensitive emails from Hillary Clinton's personal email were dug up, some of which discussed establishing a "private, 100% off-the-record" channel with Netanyahu. Another email, coming from one of her aides, warned Clinton that she was at risk of being "savaged by Jewish organiations, in the Jewish press an...

You know nothing Kit Harington, absolutely nothing about what the fans want. They want a bearded Kit and you shaved it off.  The Game of Thrones actor has left fans devastated after he debuted a new fresh-faced appearance after shaving off his signature facial hair. Harington showed off his new look on several US TV shows, including Saturday Night Live, where he told viewers: “I’ve just shaved my beard so this is more of a pre-pubescent Jon Snow.  “This is Jon Snow if he suddenly played for the Yankees.” Fans were in shock with some deeming it a “visual attack” while another described it as a “sin”. One fan tweeted: “I’m suing SNL for having Kit Harington shave his beard. This is an utter travesty.” Another wrote: “Kit Harrington without his beard is a visual attack and I don't care for it one bit.” “If Jon Snow can resurrect from dead, I’m sure his beard can too,” said a third more hopeful fan. Thoughts on Kit Harington’s no beard debut on  #SNL ? Ok...
