Image
Lawyers for Usain Bolt have revealed that more than $12.7million is missing from his account with a private investment firm in Jamaica that authorities are investigating. Attorney Linton P. Gordon provided, via The Associated Press, a copy of a letter sent to Stocks & Securities Limited demanding that the money be returned.   Gordon said Bolt's account once had $12.8million but now reflects a balance of only $12,000.   'If this is correct, and we are hoping it is not, then a serious act of fraud larceny or a combination of both have been committed against our client,' Bolt's attorneys say in the letter.   Stocks & Securities Limited did not immediately respond to a request for comment. On its website, the company asked that clients direct all urgent queries to Jamaica's Financial Services Commission, which is investigating the firm.   'We understand that clients are anxious to receive more information and assure you that we ar...

Madonna admits she's 'struggling to understand how to be a mother'

Image
  Madonna has opened up on the struggles of motherhood. The pop icon, 64, confessed it's been "the most difficult battle". She admitted that it must be difficult for her kids to grow up "with a mother like me". Madonna is mum to Lourdes, 26, Rocco, 22, David, 17, Mercy, 16, and twins Estere and Stella, 10. Speaking during her cover story with Vanity Fair, she confessed: "Today, I am still struggling to understand how to be a mother and do my job.     "Because, whoever you are, having children and raising them is a work of art. And no one gives you a manual. You have to learn from mistakes. It is a profession that requires a lot of time. And it is exhausting because there is never rest."   She went onto gush over how proud she is at seeing each of her kids find their own creativity and style, which she says comes from an authentic place.   "I have never encouraged my daughter Lola to make music or my son Rocco to paint," s...

Image
New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern has said she is resigning, in a shock announcement that came as she confirmed a national election for October this year. At the party’s annual caucus meeting on Thursday, Jan. 18, Ardern said she "no longer had enough in the tank" to do the job.    The 42-year-old, who became New Zealand's prime minister in 2017, choked back tears during an emotional news conference.   She said: "It’s time. I’m leaving, because with such a privileged role comes responsibility. The responsibility to know when you are the right person to lead and also when you are not. I know what this job takes. And I know that I no longer have enough in the tank to do it justice. It’s that simple."   Her resignation will take effect from February  7, but she will continue as an MP until the election later this year.   "I am human, politicians are human. We give all that we can for as long as we can. And then it’s time. And for me...
