'Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety' actors Kartik Aaryan, Sunny Singh reunite for 'Pati Patni Aur Woh'

<p>Singer Elton John opened up about the controversial relationship with his mother Sheila Farebrother before her death. According to a magazine, in a preview for his interview with CBS Sunday Morning set to air on October 13.<br />
<br />
The legendary musician said that his mother never met his two sons, Zachary, 8, and Elijah, 6, whom he shares with husband David Furnish, before her death in 2017.<br />
<br />
"She never liked David. She never liked anybody. She never asked to see the children," the 72-year-old singer said. "But I'm glad they didn't meet her because she would have criticized them, as she criticized me."<br />
<br />
"She couldn't help herself," he added. "She's a sociopath". John continued that he and Farebrother reconciled before she died, though not much had changed in their relationship".<br />
<br />
The only thing that changed was I didn't lose my temper. I knew what was coming, and I let her get on with it. And I just said, 'I love you, Mum,'&nbsp;and she said, 'I love you, too. I don't like you, but I love you. But I don't like you," he said.<br />
<br />
When asked about regrets, John said he was trying cocaine in 1974. Despite vomiting the first time, John went back for more and soon, he was hooked.<br />
<br />
"It nearly destroyed my soul," he said. "My soul was black, like a charred piece of steak, until I said, 'I need help'.&nbsp;And suddenly a little pilot light in my soul came along going, 'Yes, I'm still here, I'm still here'.<br />
&nbsp;</p>

<p>"After facing such problems in his life, the singer has written a memoir called 'Me'&nbsp;for his sons."I wanted my boys to know what I was like and what happened so that when I'm not here, they can read the book and read the truth," John said.<br />
<br />
"I just want them to understand what I was like when I went through the journey I had before I had them. How they made my life complete.<br />
<br />
How they've, you know, finished the circle. And that, you know, they were the last chapter in an incredible life."&nbsp;</p>

Elton John opens up about strained relationship with mother

<p>Beauty mogul Kim Kardashian who is known for her sartorial dressing sense made a funny revelation about 2019 Met Gala outfit which will just leave you in splits.<br />
<br />
The 38-year-old star who faced breathing problems in the special corset had to prepare for all contingencies once at the exclusive fashion event, and that included all bodily functions.<br />
<br />
Before the major fashion event, the 'Keeping up with the Kardashian'&nbsp;star made a game plan before she was fitted into the silicone Mugler dress because she was concerned about going to the bathroom during the Met Gala.<br />
<br />
Since she wore a custom waist-cinching corset and knee-length shapewear beneath the form-fitting dress (which required two people to help her get into!), Kim knew it would be nearly impossible to remove any layer to enable her to use the bathroom throughout the night, reported a magazine.<br />
<br />
"If I have to pee, it's a problem. Honestly, if it's an emergency, I think I pee my pants and then have my sister wipe my leg up," Kardashian West said. "I'm not even joking. She can wipe my leg up".<br />
<br />
Using the toilet wasn't the only challenge Kardashian West faced with her most recent Met Gala dress but the intricate water droplet beading was also incredibly painful for her to wear throughout the night.<br />
<br />
"Not only is this silicone and 500 hours of beading and making, but every little piece is itchy on the inside. It's pokey. So it pokes me," she explained.&nbsp;</p>

"If I have to pee, it's a problem. Honestly, if it's an emergency, I think I pee my pants and then have my sister wipe my leg up," Kardashian West said. "I'm not even joking. She can wipe my leg up". Using the toilet wasn't the only challenge Kardashian West faced with her most recent Met Gala dress but the intricate water droplet beading was also incredibly painful for her to wear throughout the night. "Not only is this silicone and 500 hours of beading and making, but every little piece is itchy on the inside. It's pokey. So it pokes me," she explained.

<p>US swimmer Conor Dwyer, a two-time Olympic gold medalist, has been suspended 20 months for doping after an arbitration panel found he had testosterone pellets implanted in his body, the US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) said Friday.</p>

<p>USADA had sought a four-year ban after Dwyer tested positive in out-of-competition tests collected on November 15, November 27 and December 20 of 2018.</p>

<p>But an independent three-member panel of the American Arbitration Association ruled a 20-month suspension was appropriate in light of the fact that Dwyer relied on outside medical advice when he allowed the treatment, in which the pellets are inserted under the skin near the hip.</p>

<p>According to the arbitrators, Dwyer "thought of it more as a treatment relating to his mental health, and unrelated to his physical performance in sport, in the way it was presented to him."</p>

<p>The suspension of Dwyer, who won relay gold medals at the 2012 London Olympics and the 2016 Rio games and 200m freestyle bronze in Rio, is dated from December 21, 2018, the date his provisional suspension was imposed pending arbitration.</p>

<p>He withdrew from the 2019 US World Championships team, and he will not be eligible to swim at the 2020 US Olympic trials before his suspension ends in August of next year.</p>

<p>Shortly after the ruling was announced, Dwyer posted a statement on Instagram announcing his retirement from professional swimming.</p>

<p>USADA said Dwyer's urine samples showed the presence of prohibited anabolic agents of external origin.</p>

<p>In giving him only a 20-month suspension, arbitrators found that Dwyer stressed to his "life coach" adviser and a doctor he recommended that any treatment must not violate anti-doping rules. After cursory research, they told him it did not.</p>

<p>"Whether Respondent's misguided belief was appropriate for an experienced Olympian with extensive anti-doping education, as argued by USADA, is not the standard to be applied with respect to this question," the arbitration panel wrote.</p>

<p>"The Panel notes that Respondent did inquire, as was his duty. He was credible in his testimony that he believed what he was told."</p>

<p>Neither Dwyer nor his advisers contacted USADA, which runs a hotline for athletes with questions about drugs and supplements.</p>

<p>"It's frustrating that Mr Dwyer did not take advantage of this support and hopefully this case will convince others to do so in order to protect fair and healthy competition for all athletes," USADA chief Travis Tygart said.</p>

<p>Cristiano Ronaldo moved to within six goals of his international century when he scored in a 3-0 win over Luxembourg on Friday which kept the defending champions on course for the Euro 2020 finals.</p>

<p>The veteran star hit his 94th goal for the Portuguese and took his overall career tally to 699 when he found the target in the second half after Bernardo Silva had opened the scoring in the first period.</p>

<p>The three points kept Portugal in second place in Group B, five points behind Ukraine who defeated Lithuania 2-0.</p>

<p>The two meet in Kiev on Monday.</p>

<p>"In the first 25 minutes we were very good, very dynamic and created chances," said Fernando Santos who was marking his fifth anniversary as Portugal coach.</p>

<p>"Then we lost depth, Luxembourg became more comfortable but never created opportunities. After the break, we started well and I think we quickly controlled the game, but after the second goal, the players started thinking ahead to Ukraine."</p>

<p>Portugal went ahead at the Estadio Jose Alvalade home of Sporting Lisbon in the 16th minute.</p>

<p>Barcelona defender Nelson Semedo's effort was only parried by Luxembourg goalkeeper Anthony Moris and Manchester City midfielder Silva was on hand to sweep in the opener.</p>

<p>It was the second goal in three internationals for Silva who arrived in Portugal under a cloud having been charged with misconduct by the English Football Association over a controversial social media post comparing City teammate Benjamin Mendy with a black cartoon character.</p>

<p>At the other end, it wasn't until the 35th minute that Portugal goalkeeper Rui Patricio was called into action for the first time to deny Vincent Thill, whose brother Olivier was also in the starting line-up of&nbsp;Luxembourg.</p>

<p>Ronaldo had his first real chance of the second half but his ambitious overhead kick was easily dealt with by Moris.</p>

<p>However, he made no mistake in the 65th minute when he took his international tally to 94 as he stole the ball off Maxime Chanot before lobbing it over Moris.</p>

<p>The 34-year-old is now just 15 goals behind the all-time international record of 109 held by former Iran striker Ali Daei.</p>

<p>There was time for Portugal to add a third in the dying moments through Goncalo Guedes.</p>

<br />
"Got a wife, 'livin&nbsp;life', 'livin'&nbsp;right, yeah, it's tight / Gluten-free, look at me / Who would've thought I'd be nice / When I rap I will slap on the beat / I attack with the heat / No strap, I defeat, no cap."<br />
<br />
"My style is impeccable / My wife, yeah, I put her on a pedestal," he continues. "My life is like a movie, The Incredibles''.</p>

<p>"Lately, the economic and trade teams of our two sides have stayed in communication and shown each other goodwill, which has been welcomed by our two peoples and the international community.

<p>The indigenous group leading mass protests in Ecuador on Friday rejected an offer of direct talks from President Lenin Moreno to end days of deadly protests against<a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/clashes-at-protests-in-ecuador-over-fuel-price-hike-oil-facilities-seized-254404"> fuel price hikes.</a></p>

<p>"The dialogue that he's seeking lacks credibility," the indigenous umbrella group CONAIE said in a statement, adding that it would negotiate with the government only when a decree to remove fuel subsidies has been "repealed."</p>

<p>In their statement, the indigenous group replied that "the dialogue that the national government says it promotes... is based on one of the worst massacres in the history of Ecuador."</p>

<p>The government declared a state of emergency for 60 days and deployed some 75,000 military and police, in addition to imposing a curfew in the vicinity of government buildings.</p>
