Three divas down as Doris, Ivatar and Big Soso get the chop – BBNaija
Wahala and heartbreak cinema were the order of the evening during tonight’s Live Show. And by the time the dust had settled, Big Soso, Ivatar, and Doris had all been escorted out of Biggie’s house. The three 10/10 alumni leave three beds empty, as the race tightens to now just 19 housemates fighting for the crown. And while the triple eviction left the house in shambles, the foreshadowing was all there in Ebuka’s dramatic entrance.
Rocking a burnt-orange tailored suit with leopard-print accents and shades to match, the coated host channelled the screen legend energy of Richard Mofe-Damijo – actor, producer, lawyer, journalist, public servant, and multi-award winner. It wasn’t just a look; it was a warning. A night dressed for royalty meant 48 minutes of big orders. In this case, the king’s decrees were issued for a triple eviction, along with a stern warning to the remaining housemates.
The first strike came with Big Soso’s eviction, a moment that sucked the air out of both the studio and the house. Nobody saw it coming, not especially with her record. The fiesty housemate had been one of the most visible figures of Season 10: torching her friendship with Tracy in an unforgettable meltdown, calling out Dede in the infamous fishpond confrontation, and inserting herself into almost every highlight reel. Who can forget that ‘Barbie’ blow with Faith? But in Biggie’s world, prominence doesn’t always equal permanence. Clout and wahala weren’t enough to save her, and just like that, one of the house’s biggest voices went silent.
The night’s second axe fell on Ivatar, and if Soso’s exit was shocking, hers was pure irony. Only a week ago, she had dominated the conversation with her explosive crash-out with Mensan on last week’s Live Show, delivering drama that trended well beyond the walls of the house. Yet, just seven business days later, the spotlight returned to her tonight, this time to roll the credits on her journey.
On stage with Ebuka, Ivatar admitted the house was not what she had thought it would be: “Every day was a surprise”, she said, visibly shaken by her eviction. “I didn’t expect anything I experienced. I thought I knew the show.” A blunt reminder that watching BBNaija and surviving it are worlds apart.
The third blow was the cruelest. Doris had been one half of the house’s most consistent romance with Denari, a love story that kept gaining momentum with plenty of swoon-worthy moments. Her eviction cut that arc short in the most gutting way possible. Denari clung to her in the seconds they had left, their goodbye hug as brief as it was heartbreaking. On stage, Doris couldn’t hide her shock: “I put a lot of work in the house”, she told Ebuka as she explained her shock at being outlasted by several housemates she feels have been slacking. Her exit isn’t just a loss for Denari, but also a gut-wrenching loss for the shippers who loved seeing the lovebirds together. And that is proof that in Biggie’s house, even the strongest bonds can be broken by a single announcement.
But not everything was a loss. After weeks of patrolling the kitchen like a general and lamenting his lack of recognition, Kaybobo finally had his moment. Voted Most Influential Player of the Week by his fellow housemates, he earned both bragging rights and immunity from the next elimination. For a housemate whose reputation has been tied to seasoning, portions, and plate politics, this was the ultimate vindication. The house might complain about his gatekeeping from time to time, but they can’t ignore his influence. And this week, the resident chef is untouchable.
And as the 10/10 house barrels into the second half of the season with 19 still standing, one thing is certain: after a triple eviction like this, nothing will ever be the same.

Invisible crisis
Mental health disorders, the invisible mammoth afflicting around one billion people worldwide, are more often than not an untouched topic in Pakistani communities. Recently, the WHO has warned of a global mental health crisis, citing that suicide accounts for 1 in every 100 deaths globally. Anxiety and depression, the most common mental health disorders, are also the second leading cause of long-term disability. Pakistan fares no better, with prevalence rates ranging from 22-60% in the country.
Mental health facilitation in Pakistan suffers from two ends. On one, cultural misconceptions and stigmas propel patients into either ignoring their symptoms or dealing with them alone. Many attach the notion of ‘going crazy’ with deteriorating mental health, causing sufferers to endure a cycle of shame. On the other end, the country’s healthcare infrastructure remains inadequate in spreading awareness and supporting patients. Reportedly, Pakistan only has 1 psychiatrist per 360,000 people – grossly lagging when compared to a recommendation of 1 per 10,000 by the American Psychiatric Association.
The Milkar Mental Health Survey by the British Asian Trust states that out of a sample of 1,353 people, only 25% could currently define mental health. This issue also extends to our understanding of mental health disorders beyond depression and anxiety. Disorders such as ADHD and PTSD, both prevalent in Pakistan, are rarely mentioned. According to a study conducted 30 months after the calamitous earthquake of 2005, PTSD was reportedly as high as 41% from three districts of the country. Another study conducted in Peshawar after a terrorist attack reported that among 205 children, 75% exhibited symptoms of PTSD.
The conversation surrounding mental health is much more nuanced in context of an unstable and developing country. But in order to reach that point, we must first come to terms with the current reality, which is mass unawareness and disregard.

This Could Be Your Last Shot At A Nearly New V8 BMW M3
Likely the lowest-mile Lime Rock Park Edition M3, unmodified, with a one-owner history
- 2013 BMW M3 Lime Rock Park Edition, one of 200 built for the U.S.
- Just 81 miles on the odometer, unmodified, single-owner history.
- Equipped with Competition, Premium, and Cold Weather Packages.
BMW’s E9X-generation M3 has long been regarded as a modern classic, and for good reason, as it was the last to feature a naturally aspirated engine and the only one ever fitted with a V8. Moreover, it’s small, nimble… and a bit unhinged.
This car, an ultra-rare Lime Rock Park Edition, sits in a tier above the regular M3. Built for just one year in 2013, only 200 of these Fire Orange coupes ever came to the U.S. market. Now, one of the cleanest examples is up for sale, and it could be the lowest-mileage car of its kind anywhere.
This M3 Lime Rock Park Edition has just 81 miles (130 km) on the odometer. That’s right, eighty-one, or roughly 6.7 miles per year since it rolled off the production line. It couldn’t do five full laps of Lime Rock Park each year with that many miles on the clock. On top of the low-mileage draw to this car, it’s also unmodified and has a clean, accident-free Carfax.

From the factory, the Lime Rock Park Edition bundled together desirable features, including the Competition Package, which added 19-inch wheels, lowered the suspension, and recalibrated the stability and damper settings.
This particular example also has the Premium and Cold Weather Packages, along with a carbon fiber roof, Novillo leather, an Alcantara-wrapped flat-bottom steering wheel, and carbon/leather interior trim.
Under the hood sits BMW’s high-revving 4.0-liter naturally aspirated V8, sending 414 hp (309 kW) and 295 lb-ft (400 Nm) of torque to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. It was the swan song of the E92 M3 before BMW moved on to turbocharged six-cylinder engines. Enthusiasts still praise the Lime Rock cars as the pinnacle of the breed.
Recent service on this car includes a battery and airbag assembly replacement in 2024 with just 45 miles on the odometer. The car received a new battery last month. The original 2012-date-coded tires remain, so they’ll need to go if the next owner plans to drive very much. We all know the dangers of old tires. The sale includes both keys, the window sticker, manuals, and other original items.
With just a few days left in the auction, bidding has already climbed past $86,000, clearing the car’s original MSRP of $80,295. If you’ve ever dreamed of owning an M3 that’s basically still in its wrapper, this is your shot. Check out the listing here before someone else parks this Fire Orange time capsule in their garage.

More than 1,000 welcome Gaza-bound aid boats in Tunisia
PARIS: France’s parliament on Monday ousted the government of Prime Minister Francois Bayrou after just nine months in office, leaving President Emmanuel Macron scrambling to find a successor and plunging the country into a new political crisis.
Bayrou, who has been in the job for just nine months, had blindsided even his allies by calling a confidence vote to end a lengthy standoff over his austerity budget, which foresees almost 44 billion euros ($52 billion) of cost savings to reduce France’s debt pile.
Bayrou, the first premier in the history of modern France to be ousted in a confidence vote rather than a no-confidence vote, will submit his resignation on Tuesday morning, according to a person close to him who asked not to be named.
In the vote in the National Assembly, 364 deputies voted that they had no confidence in the government while just 194 gave it their confidence. “In line with article 50 of the constitution, the prime minister must submit the resignation of his government,” said speaker Yael Braun-Pivet.
Bayrou is the sixth prime minister under Macron since his 2017 election but the fifth since 2022. Bayrou’s ousting leaves the French head of state with a new domestic headache at a time when he is leading diplomatic efforts on the Ukraine war.
But defending his decision to call the high-risk confidence vote, Bayrou told the National Assembly: “The biggest risk was not to take one, to let things continue without anything changing… and have business as usual.”
Describing the debt pile as “life-threatening” for France, Bayrou said his government had put forward a plan so that the country could “in a few years’ time escape the inexorable tide of debt that is submerging it.”
“You have the power to overthrow the government” but not “to erase reality,” Bayrou told the MPs in a doomed final bid to save his government before the vote.
Macron now faces one of the most critical decisions of his presidency — appoint a seventh prime minister to try to thrash out a compromise, or call snap elections in a bid to have a more accommodating parliament.
There is no guarantee an election would result in any improvement in the fortunes of Macron’s center-right bloc in parliament.
And although the Socialist Party (PS) has expressed readiness to lead a new government, it is far from clear whether such an administration could survive.
Heavyweight right-wing cabinet ministers, such as Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin, are trusted by Macron but risk being voted out by the left.
According to a poll by Odoxa-Backbone for Le Figaro newspaper, 64 percent of the French want Macron to resign rather than name a new prime minister, a move he has ruled out.
He is forbidden from standing for a third term in 2027.
Around 77 percent of people do not approve of his work, Macron’s worst-ever such rating, according to an Ifop poll for the Ouest-France daily.
Alongside political upheaval, France is also facing social tensions.
A left-wing collective named “Block Everything” is calling for a day of action on Wednesday, and trade unions have urged workers to strike on September 18.
The 2027 presidential election meanwhile remains wide open, with analysts predicting the French far right will have its best-ever chance of winning.
Three-time presidential candidate for the National Rally (RN) Marine Le Pen suffered a blow in March when a French court convicted her and other party officials over an EU parliament fake jobs scam.
Le Pen was sentenced to four years’ imprisonment, two of which were suspended, and a fine of 100,000 euros ($117,000).
The ruling also banned her from standing for office for five years, which would scupper her ambition of taking part in the 2027 vote unless overturned on appeal.
But a Paris court said Monday her appeal would be heard from January 13 to February 12, 2026, well before the election — potentially resurrecting her presidential hopes.
Cheered by her MPs, Le Pen urged Macron to call snap legislative elections, saying holding the polls is “not an option but an obligation” and describing Bayrou’s administration as a “phantom government.”Continue Reading

What the teams said – Race day at the 2025 Italian Grand Prix
Mercedes
Russell had a steady race in Italy, working his way back to Leclerc and trying to challenge the Ferrari in the first stint. But he pitted before his rival and came out in traffic and that cost him any chance of continuing that battle. As for Antonelli, a dreadful start dropped him down the order. He fought back up through the pack with some decent overtakes, but then it all went wrong when he was battling Albon for seventh. The stewards deemed that Antonelli had forced his rival off the track, and he picked up a time penalty that dropped him from P8 to P9 at the flag. Still, he managed to score at home and had his best finish since his podium in Canada back in June.
George Russell, 5th
“P5 was likely the maximum we could have achieved today given our pace and our starting position. I was reasonably pleased in the early stages to be fighting the Ferrari of Charles Leclerc ahead. We thought they would have a bit of an advantage over us, but we were within DRS range of him for a while. Unfortunately, even with DRS, overtaking is incredibly difficult here and we couldn’t mount an attack.
“It is a shame that we leave here having lost a little bit of ground to Ferrari in the Constructors’. That said, it could have been worse, and we go into these final eight races with a good chance of taking second in the final standings. We will regroup now in the next week and look to perform well in Baku.”
Kimi Antonelli, 9th
“That wasn’t the Italian Grand Prix we were hoping for. I had a bad start with too much wheelspin. I lost a lot of places and that obviously really compromised my race unfortunately. It was a shame as my pace on the Medium tyre once I was in clear air was good. In the closing stages, I was trying to defend from Albon but unfortunately picked up a penalty. That dropped me one more position at the flag which is frustrating.
“There are positives we can take from the weekend still. I took a step forward in Qualifying and my feeling with the car was good. Hopefully we can get into a better rhythm on these weekends, starting in Baku, and that will enable us to show exactly what we can do when performing at our optimum.”
Toto Wolff, Head of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport
“That was a tough day for us today. We didn’t have the pace to challenge for the podium and that is frustrating. The weekend as a whole slipped away from us a little, despite it looking promising as we headed into Qualifying. We didn’t perform as we needed to in order to fight for the top three and that is something we all need to improve on. There is never one reason that we can blame for that, so we will work hard in the days ahead of Baku to make sure we perform better in Azerbaijan.
“We now have just eight races to go until the end of the season. We are in a fight with Ferrari and Red Bull for second in the Constructors’ and will need to be at our best if we want to come out ahead of them. It will be a real dog fight given everyone’s development focus is already on 2026 so it will all be about who can execute better than their competitors.”
Andrew Shovlin, Trackside Engineering Director
“That was a frustrating Italian Grand Prix for us. George was able to put some pressure on Charles early on but, even with DRS, we just didn’t have the straight-line speed to be able to pass. His race from there was about controlling the gap to the other Ferrari of Lewis behind. We were able to time our stop well to avoid losing position, but we had too much degradation on that stint to be able to challenge Charles ahead. Once that stop was out of the way it was an uneventful run for George to a P5 finish.
“For Kimi, his race came undone when excessive wheelspin on the launch led to a slow start. He dropped to P10 and had to battle back from there. He deployed his pace on the Medium compound well to complete the overcut on several of the cars he was racing, but traffic in his second stint left him vulnerable to the Williams of Alex Albon who had started on Hard and ran long. He duly made the pass despite Kimi’s best efforts, leaving him P8 at the flag. In defending from Albon, Kimi also picked up a time penalty that relegated him to P9 at the flag.”

Tom Pelphrey calls life with Kaley Cuoco, daughter Matilda ‘insane zoo’
Kaley Cuoco’s partner Tom Pelphrey reveals how fatherhood shifted everything Kaley Cuoco’s fiance Tom Pelphrey got candid about life with family and taking over a new role in series Task, also starring Mark Ruffalo.
In a recent interview with People over a zoom call the Big Bang Theory alum’s fiance admitted fatherhood changed his priorities.
Expressing his gratitude for his little girl, Matilda, 2, Tom said being a dad with Kaley is the best thing that “happened a little later in life.”
“I would’ve done my best always, but there’s zero part of me that is confused about the order the priorities go in.”
Kaley Cuoco and her daughter Matilda During the interview with the outlet the toddler crawled into the room, and Tom asked his daughter while showing her soft toy, “Come on in, bud. Hi! Did you leave this?”
“I’ll come out in two minutes. I love you,” he told his daughter.
As Kaley and Tom have four family dogs and they were barking in the background during his chat, the 43-year-old actor added, “It’s like an insane zoo here all day, every day.”
“We always have some kind of adventure, and there’s usually a nap in the afternoon,” he gave a sweet insight into his daily routine with 2-year-old daughter.
“I’ve heard rumors of this 30-minute nap that can change your life. I just can’t pull it off,” Tom added with a laugh.
After giving a glimpse into his family life, Tom revealed Kaley was first to read his character, Robbie Pendergrast, in HBO series Task and she praised at the time, saying, “This is one of the best episodes of TV I’ve ever read.”
Tom himself was drawn to the role for “what a big heart he has.”
“This guy’s working full-time, raising his kids by himself, doesn’t have much money, doing whatever he needs to do to take care of his family. And maybe we could say, ‘Well, that’s not the best way to go about it.’ But at the end of the day, he really is trying his best,” he gushed over his character, Robbie.

All the key moments from the 2025 Italian Grand Prix as Max Verstappen stars, McLaren issue team orders and Lewis Hamilton experiences the Tifosi
It was another exciting weekend of Formula 1 action at the Italian Grand Prix, with Max Verstappen putting Red Bull back on top, McLaren making headlines via some late-race team orders and Lewis Hamilton experiencing his first Monza event as a Ferrari driver.
With all of these topics and much more to think about before F1 returns in Azerbaijan a fortnight from now, here is F1.com’s round up of everything that happened at the Temple of Speed…
Verstappen breaks more F1 records
McLaren arrived into the Monza weekend with the momentum that they have carried for much of the season, having claimed five consecutive victories between Austria and the Netherlands.
However, it was Verstappen – who had not won a Grand Prix since Imola – that put in an especially remarkable performance come Qualifying, the Dutchman surging to pole position with a time of 1m 18.792s.
The lap set a new track record at the historic circuit and marked Verstappen’s 45th career pole for Verstappen. Despite this, the World Champion still had to face the challenge of having the papaya cars of Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri behind him as the field lined up for Sunday’s race.
While he briefly gave up the lead at the start after skipping the chicane, Verstappen soon returned to P1 and remained there in a commanding drive around Monza.
The 27-year-old ultimately crossed the line with a sizeable margin of 19.207s from second-placed Norris, in a race that proved to be the fastest World Championship Grand Prix in F1 history. It was a weekend that Verstappen summed up as “unbelievable”.
Second best (and more team orders) for McLaren
Few would perhaps have betted against McLaren adding to their aforementioned winning streak as the F1 paddock headed to Monza, with Norris topping the timesheets in second and third practice.
The team had to settle for second and third in Qualifying, however, leading Piastri to admit that their pace had “not been quite as comfortable” as during other weekends. Despite this, the Australian stated that he was still feeling confident for race day.
Norris looked to be in fighting mode as the Grand Prix got underway, the Briton duelling with Verstappen off the line. With the Red Bull skipping the chicane during the battle, Verstappen then handed the position back to Norris.
It did not take long, though, for the Dutch driver to retake the lead – and with his gap at the front quickly stretching out, McLaren opted to keep their drivers out on track until the latter stages in the hope of a Safety Car occurring.
When the team did eventually bring their drivers in, drama occurred when Norris suffered a slow stop, dropping him behind Piastri on track. The squad subsequently chose to swap the pair around, putting Norris back into P2 ahead of Piastri in P3.
“It’s what we decided as a team beforehand,” Norris said of the call afterwards, while Piastri conceded: “There were clearly valid reasons for swapping back. Lando qualified ahead and was ahead for the whole race, so I get that. There’s just some things we need to discuss.”
Hamilton’s first Monza race with Ferrari
After he made a race-ending error last time out in Zandvoort, a weekend of support from the ever-passionate Tifosi was exactly what the doctor ordered for Hamilton.
The 40-year-old has experienced the incomparable energy of the fans that flock to Monza many times over his career, but this was his first as a Ferrari driver. From their relentless cheers to gigantic banners, it’s fair to say that the fans at this circuit are like no other – something that Hamilton could truly soak up over the weekend.
A five-place grid penalty might have been enough to bring his optimism down a notch, but that was made impossible by the crowd’s support, and the Briton bounced back in style as he charged through the field on the opening lap.
He ultimately crossed the line in sixth place, marking his first appearance in the points in the last three races. This rounded off a successful weekend for Ferrari – they may not have reached the podium, but a strong P4 for Leclerc is definitely something to celebrate, especially after the devastating double DNF in Zandvoort.
The Monegasque said that he was “disappointed but not surprised” after he claimed fourth place in Qualifying, but after the magic of his victory here last season, anything but the top spot would be a let-down.
Mercedes struggle to make an impression
What the Italian Grand Prix failed to offer Mercedes in terms of performance will surely be made up for in lessons to take into the remaining rounds. From an unwanted tyre choice in Qualifying to a time penalty for Kimi Antonelli, there’s plenty for the Brackley-based outfit to reflect on.
The first segment of Qualifying promised much for Russell as he edged out those around him to set the fastest time, with the main difference being that he was on medium tyres compared to his competitors’ soft compound. But he was given the red-walled tyres for his final Q3 lap, leaving him to claim that they “definitely underperformed” as he took fifth place.
In the Grand Prix itself, little changed – the Briton started in P5 and finished in P5, with an unsuccessful attempt to pass Leclerc early in the race. He repeatedly closed up to the Ferrari ahead before losing time on the straights, resulting in him gradually dropping further and further back.
It was a continuation of Mercedes’ usual struggles to keep up with the main front-running teams across different tracks, which leaves them with some frustrations as well as a decent points haul, with Antonelli securing ninth place.
Monza represented his second home event of the season, and he went into it with the hope that it would go more smoothly than the first – in Imola, the teenager missed out on Q3 and was later forced to retire from the race due to a technical issue.
He recovered from a spin in FP2 to take seventh place, ending Qualifying less than a tenth behind his team mate. However, he didn’t get the best launch at the beginning of the race and ended up at the tail end of the top 10 battling Yuki Tsunoda.
More points would have been on offer had he not picked up a five-second penalty for “driver erratically” in his battle with Alex Albon, which dropped him behind fellow rookie Gabriel Bortoleto in the final order.
Monza maintains its magical feeling
The Tifosi were out in huge numbers across the Monza weekend, bedecked in their usual dazzling array of Ferrari garb. With the Scuderia running a special livery to celebrate 50 years since Niki Lauda won the Drivers’ Championship in the Ferrari 312T, there were plenty of retro outfits in the stands as well in homage to the team at their home race.
That wasn’t the only special thing about the weekend though, with Jean Alesi driving the 1995 412 T2 around the track as the supporters watched on, the last Ferrari to be powered by a V12 engine.
Jacky Ickx also ran his Ferrari 312B for the fans under sunny blue skies, the crowds treated to three generations of Ferrari cars across the weekend. Sadly they did not see a Ferrari driver on the podium this time around, but they still witnessed a fantastic race.
And when the crowd were unleashed to stream down the main straight to stand under the podium, one of the most special atmospheres in F1 came to life. The Monza rostrum is one that every driver wants to stand on at least once – and from the scenes on Sunday, it is clear to see why.
