Body language expert makes shock claim about state of Brad Pitt's new relationship
Brad Pitt and his girlfriend made a rare appearance on the red carpet on Monday as they attended the F1 film premiere in New York City. But a body language expert was quick to spot several tell-tale signs that his relationship with Ines de Ramon is 'floundering.' The couple, who have been dating since 2022, looked effortlessly chic at the premiere with Ines draped in sheer halter-neck white gown complete with a feathered skirt and Brad opting for a black double-breasted suit with a white button-up. Brad, 61, who assumed a lead role in the film as fictional driver Sonny Hayes, and Ines, 32, put on a united display - but there could be more than meets the eye. Because, according to body language expert Judi James, there are several indicators that all is not well including how Brad's recent fashion shift could be an indication of a wider problem in his relationship, as she compared their look to George Clooney and Amal Clooney's. 'For this newest relationship, Brad seems to have opted for a George and Amal-looking vibe. 'Both dazzling-looking, elegant women are non-Hollywood and both are fiercely intelligent and successful in their own fields. 'Both men show signals of a more subdued presence with their women around as though it's the intellect that is keeping them in a state of awe and respect. 'Unlike Clooney though, Brad also has a considerable age gap difference which seems to have created some wardrobe floundering that could reflect on his emotional approach,' James told Daily Mail exclusively. On Monday, Brad Pitt , 61, and his girlfriend, jewelry executive Ines de Ramon , 32, made a rare appearance on the red carpet as they attended the F1 film premiere in New York City - and a body language expert is weighing on why the actor may actually be 'floundering' in his relationship They began seeing each other just a few years after Brad's ex-wife, Angelina Jolie , filed for divorce in 2016 Both Brad and Ines were dressed to the nines on Monday, but according to body language expert Judi James, Brad's recent fashion shift could be an indication of a wider problem in his relationship, as she compared their look to George and Amal Clooney's 'His recent outings have involved some dubious fashion choices that suggest he might be struggling with the age gap and keen to look relevant and edgy, when it might be better in relationship terms to see him finally bottoming out, finding his authentic place and relaxing into it with someone who appreciates it,' she continued. However, it's not only the age gap that is the 'problem' in their latest red carpet appearance, James explained. She noted that the couple seem to have very different styles in both thinking and taste, as they have a 'lack of synchronicity.' 'A more interesting challenge seems to be the acute contrast in Brad and Ines's body language, which could suggest very different thinking styles and tastes,' James divulged. 'This seems to have worked for the Clooney's, who share a profound passion for campaigns and causes. But with Brad right now we're just seeing a lack of synchronicity in terms of non-verbal signals,' she shared. 'He looks blissfully happy but also slightly ill at ease here.' James explained that one way that their difference in thinking emerges is in their facial expressions on the red carpet. 'One look at their facial expressions as they pose together shows totally different styles of thinking,' she shared. 'Brad's eyebrows are steepled, giving him a rather subdued and apologetic look. He appears keen to please. His posture and his gestures look unusually awkward, as though he's trying to look gauche rather than like a Hollywood hard-hitter,' James continued. 'His hand pats the side of his leg to hint at some inner anxiety and the fingers are splayed rather than relaxed.' 'A more interesting challenge seems to be the acute contrast in Brad and Ines's body language, which could suggest very different thinking styles and tastes,' James divulged 'One look at their facial expressions as they pose together shows totally different styles of thinking,' she shared On the other hand, Ines gives off a different energy than Brad. 'Ines however has a very bold-straight brow-line to suggest confidence and calm,' James said. 'Her wide smile looks red-carpet perfect and her eye-engage with the cameras shows a lack of inhibitions or shyness. She turns her smile on as she faces the cameras rather than showing it primarily to Brad.' On the red carpet, there was one specific moment that stood out to James, too - and that was when he poked out his tongue during one pose with her. 'His smile here, as he poses up for the cameras looks soft and apologetic while hers is a very assertive-looking baring of the teeth,' James said. 'When he looks at her the soft crinkling increases, suggesting genuine affection and some vulnerability, while she flashes upper and lower teeth in another teeth-baring, challenging-looking smile,' she shared. 'It's Ines looking quietly dominant as she pulls his hand to move from their pose and in another pic she is even seen wiping or picking his face with her thumb in another dominant-looking gesture.' James wondered if there was a possibility that Brad is trying to 'emulate' Clooney's relationship - or if his romance with Ines really is the perfect fit. On the red carpet, there was one specific moment that stood out to James, too - and that was when he poked out his tongue during one pose with her 'Ines however has a very bold-straight brow-line to suggest confidence and calm,' James said 'His recent outings have involved some dubious fashion choices that suggest he might be struggling with the age gap and keen to look relevant and edgy,' she said She pointed out that in past relationships, he has looked 'performative,' almost like he was playing a role in a movie. When he dated Gwyneth Paltrow, he became her 'symbiotic twin,' and with Jolie, he 'morphed into one half of a cool, classy, sophisticated Hollywood power couple.' 'Brad Pitt's current body language suggests he's still trying to find his authentic self,' James admitted. The couple's red carpet appearance comes just days after they made headlines for a star-studded double-date with Gigi Hadid and boyfriend Bradley Cooper. The four of them were seen dining at Cote Korean Steakhouse in New York City, where Petrossian Royal Beluga Hybrid caviar goes for $870 a tin. Brad stepped out in a shiny lavender silk shirt that was left partially unbuttoned to reveal some chest hair, as well as a buzz cut. In May, Brad was forced to defend his girlfriend Ines in a rare comment as some rumors swirled. In an interview with GQ for the magazine's 2025 Summer Issue — alongside F1 co-stars Damson Idris and Lewis Hamilton — Pitt was asked whether their appearance at a Formula 1 race was intentionally timed to promote the film. Since his divorce from Jolie, he has been in the headlines for some drama involving his kids In an interview with GQ for the magazine's 2025 Summer Issue — alongside F1 co-stars Damson Idris and Lewis Hamilton — Pitt was asked whether their appearance at a Formula 1 race was intentionally timed to promote the film 'No, dude, it's not that calculated,' Pitt replied bluntly. 'If you're living—oh my God, how exhausting would that be? If you're living with making those kinds of calculations? No, life just evolves. Relationships evolve.' He also spoke about the fact that his personal life is a part of the headlines, noting it's been part of his reality for decades. 'My personal life is always in the news. It's been in the news for 30 years, bro. Or some version of my personal life, let's put it that way.' Since his divorce from Jolie, he has been in the headlines for some drama involving his kids. He shares Zahara, 20, Maddox, 23, and Pax, 21 - whom he adopted with Jolie. The former couple also welcomed biological children Shiloh, 19, as well as twins Vivienne and Knox, 16. Following a lengthy eight-year battle, the pair's divorce was officially finalized late last year in December.

When Mossad Walked Out Of Tehran With 500 kg Of Nuclear Blueprints
In the early hours of June 13, Israel initiated what it called a "necessary preemptive action" against Iran. Over 100 air and drone strikes pounded key nuclear, military, and intelligence sites across the Islamic Republic. The target list read like a blueprint of Iran's national defence: nuclear enrichment plants, Revolutionary Guard Corps headquarters, missile stockpiles, and covert sites. At least 224 Iranians were confirmed dead. Several Iranian nuclear and missile facilities were reduced to rubble. The covert component, reportedly orchestrated by Mossad, involved high-precision drone strikes deep inside Iran's territory. Israel claimed it had no choice. But this strike wasn't born in a war room the night before. Its seeds were planted years earlier. When Mossad Stole Iran's Nuclear Archive On the night of January 31, 2018, a small team of Israeli Mossad agents infiltrated a nondescript warehouse in southern Tehran. They had 6 hours and 29 minutes, a window before the morning guard shift arrived that was carefully calculated after a year of surveillance. They stole 50,000 pages and 163 CDs containing blueprints, technical diagrams, photographs, memos, and plans, all related to Iran's long-denied nuclear weapons programme. The agents, using torches that could melt through 32 safes, prioritised binders marked with bomb designs and warhead development. Some safes were left unopened. The material weighed half a tonne (500 kg). Planning was methodical. Guard routines were mapped. Alarm systems were studied and neutralised without detection. They identified the safes with "the good stuff." A senior Israeli intelligence official later described the mission as feeling like a scene from George Clooney's ' Ocean's 11'. The theft went undetected until morning. When the guard found the doors broken and vaults emptied, Iran launched a sweeping but ultimately futile search. The Revelation Three months later, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu took to the stage. Standing beside a stack of black folders and discs, he accused Iran of lying to the world. Netanyahu's presentation, backed by a private briefing to then-US President Donald Trump, helped push the White House to formally exit the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. The documents, some dating back to 'Project Amad', Iran's suspected nuclear weapons initiative, allegedly showed secret testing, warhead miniaturisation, and blueprints to fit nuclear devices into Shahab-3 missiles. Western intelligence agencies, after independent reviews, largely agreed. The documents were genuine and alarming. And they revealed that Iran's nuclear ambitions were more advanced than previously believed. Iran's Response Iran dismissed the archive as forged. But there was evidence. Among the most damning files were references to uranium deuteride, a substance only known for its use in nuclear initiators, and a secret chamber at Parchin military base, suspected to have housed high-explosive tests for nuclear triggers. The stolen archive also showed that Iran continued organising and preserving its nuclear knowledge even after the 2015 deal, moving materials to obscure locations, hiding documents from international inspectors, and plotting test sites. Over the years, key Iranian nuclear scientists, including Mohsen Fakhrizadeh and Masoud Ali Mohammadi, were assassinated, often in surgical strikes or mysterious explosions. Israel has never officially taken responsibility, but its fingerprints are widely suspected. Iran, in return, has launched cyberattacks, targeted Israeli diplomats, and used its proxy networks across the Middle East. June 2025 Israel-Iran War On June 13, the long-brewing shadow war burst into open conflict. Following Israel's strikes, Iran launched over 100 ballistic missiles and drones toward Israeli cities. Civilian areas were hit, including parts of Tel Aviv. At least 14 Israelis were killed and hundreds more injured. Several missiles pierced through Israel's famed Iron Dome defence system. Now entering Day 7, the war shows no signs of slowing.

Seth Meyers skips asking George Clooney about Biden's mental decline, not recognizing him at fundraiser
NBC "Late Night" host Seth Meyers interviewed Hollywood star George Clooney on Monday but failed to question the actor about the report that former President Joe Biden failed to recognize the a-list actor at his own 2024 campaign fundraiser or any of the news about the ex-president's mental decline in office. Just weeks after CNN host Jake Tapper and Axios journalist Alex Thompson revealed in their book "Original Sin" that Biden allegedly failed to recognize Clooney backstage at a June fundraiser last year, Meyers chose not to ask the actor about the incident — or even mention the former president during the entire interview. Approximately one month following the reported incident, Clooney wrote a guest essay in The New York Times calling for Biden to be replaced as the Democratic nominee due to his declining mental acuity. Rather than questioning the Hollywood star about the reported fundraiser incident, Meyers centered the interview around Clooney's acting career and his recent Tony Award nomination for his play "Good Night, and Good Luck." His omission of Biden was first flagged by Mediaite. Despite all the attention "Original Sin" has generated, liberal comedians Seth Meyers, Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert have not mentioned any of the revelations, according to Grabien transcripts. The three hosts were all strong supporters of Biden's presidency, and Kimmel and Colbert helped fundraise for him last year. The liberal hosts have all welcomed Biden for friendly interviews, the last time being on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" in February 2024, just days after the release of the Hur report. Meyers gently broached the subject of Biden's age before quickly moving on to other topics. Special Counsel Robert Hur, who conducted the investigation into Biden's mishandling of classified documents, wrote in his report that he declined to bring charges against the former president in part because a jury would likely not find him guilty due to a perception that he was a "sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory." Meyers called Hur's comments a "gratuitous hypothetical" and stressed that Hur was a "Republican attorney" who "was originally appointed by Trump." "If that kind of language was appropriate in a legal finding, then prosecutors could have done the same thing to Trump," Meyers said before repeatedly drawing attention to President Donald Trump's mental acuity.

Rep. Jim Jordan knew about and shrugged off OSU wrestling sexual abuse, victims say
A new HBO documentary about the alleged cover-up of sexual assaults at Ohio State University by predator Dr. Richard Strauss alleges that Rep. Jim Jordan knew about the abuse at the time and failed to act. Surviving Ohio State, produced by George Clooney, covers Strauss's tenure at the institution from 1978 to 1998 and alleges that staff, including Jordan, then an assistant wrestling coach at the school, knew about Strauss's conduct but did nothing to prevent it. Jordan has always denied any knowledge of the matter but declined to be interviewed for the film, as did the university's former wrestling coach, Russ Hellickson, and the Ohio State board of trustees. The Independent has contacted the congressman for comment. Dan Ritchie, who wrestled at the university from 1988 to 1992, said in the documentary that the doctor had a reputation for conducting unnecessary genital exams with ungloved hands, earning him mocking nicknames among the student body like 'Dr Fun Boy' and 'Dr Jelly Fingers.' Ritchie alleges that Jordan, while serving as an assistant wrestling coach, addressed the rumors directly with his athletes, blustering: 'If he ever did that to me, I'd snap his neck like a stick of dry balsa wood.' Frederick Feeney, a wrestling referee from 1988 to 2024, says that he told Jordan and Hellickson about an incident in which Strauss had joined him in the gymnasium showers and begun masturbating, to which the future congressman allegedly responded dismissively and said: 'It's Strauss, you know what he does.' 'We express our deep regret and apologies to all who experienced Strauss's abuse,' Ohio State spokesman Ben Johnson told The Columbus Dispatch. 'We are forever grateful to the survivors who participated in the independent investigation, which could not have been completed without their strength and courage.' The allegations that Strauss used his position to abuse hundreds of student athletes first emerged in 2018, two decades after he left OSU and 13 years after he died by suicide. But the State Medical Board of Ohio first became aware of misconduct accusations against Strauss in 1996, initially moving to gather patient records and take action against his medical license before its investigation stalled and was eventually scrapped unresolved in 2002. The new film interviews students who allege that OSU officials were aware of the complaints but consistently rebuffed or denied them. OSU ultimately reached settlement agreements with 296 survivors of Strauss's abuse, worth more than a combined $60m. However, the film argues that the amount per person is much lower than that paid out by other institutions accused of enabling comparable abuses. Damningly, one of the men interviewed for the film, Steve Snyder-Hill, concludes his remarks by saying: 'Somebody asked me one time, they said, 'Are you a survivor or are you a victim?' 'I had to think about that, and I thought, you know what? I'm a survivor of sexual assault, but I'm a victim of OSU.' The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this month, aired on HBO on Tuesday and is now available to stream via HBO Max.

He also caught Sean 'Diddy' Combs as the defendant in the United States of America v. Sean Combs at the federal courthouse in Lower Manhattan. Ye, the controversial rapper formerly known as Kanye West, arrived at Sean Combs's sex-trafficking trial Friday with the defendant's son Christian 'King' Combs. The rapper, dressed in white, was reportedly directed to the courtroom's overflow room. Ye has publicly advocated for Combs's release from prison. He has also been in regular contact with Combs's family and is reportedly collaborating with Christian on an upcoming album.
