Dans les années 90, l’Angleterre fut le berceau de plusieurs girls et boys bands. Vingt ans plus tard, les All Saints tentent un retour sur le devant de la scène tandis que les Spice Girls peinent à s’entendre.

Les fans de Posh, Spicy, Baby, Sporty et Ginger désespèrent de revoir un jour leurs idoles sur scène. D’autres stars de la pop ninetees profitent en revanche du retour de flamme de cette période pour se relancer. Dans une interview exclusive accordée à i-D, Nicole et Natalie Appleton, Shaznay Lewis et Melanie Blatt des All Saints ont ainsi révélé qu’elles se reformaient. L’album du grand retour, Red Flag, est attendu pour le 18 avril prochain.

À l’époque de leur succès, le groupe anglo-canadien faisait danser les foules au son de Never Ever et I Know Where It’s At. Pas facile de se faire une place dans le paysage musical de la pop quand les Spice Girls battaient tous les records. Mais les All Saints se sont bien battues et ont décroché quelques belles places dans les hit parades européens. Comme leurs consoeurs, interprètes de Wanabe, les All Saints ont misé une bonne partie de leur réussite sur les personnalités de leurs membres. Une recette qui devrait encore fonctionner pour ce retour annoncé.

En effet, le nouveau single du groupe One Strike évoquera la difficile séparation de Nicole Appleton avec Liam Gallager en 2014. La chanteuse, considérée comme leadeuse, fut mariée au bad boys d’Oasis avec qui elle a eu un fils, Gene, 15 ans, jusqu’au jour où elle a découvert que son mari allait être papa de l’enfant d’une autre. Shaznay Lewis, une autre des All Saints, a donc écrit une chanson inspirée “des conversation avec Nicole au moment où elle traversait des moments particulièrement difficiles”. Liam Gallagheren prend pour son grade puisque son ex-femme précise que One Strike “n’est pas a propos du divorce, mais au sujet du moment où j’ai découvert ce qu’il m’a fait”.

Nicole Appleton est désormais mère de famille célibataire et elle vient de fêter ses 41 ans. Comme ses consoeurs, elle tente d’aborder la quarantaine en douceur et réalise que l’industrie de la musique a bien changé depuis les années 90. Mais pour Melanie Blatt, par exemple, pas de regret: “l’ère Instagram a enlevé le côté romantique de la célébrité, les réseaux sociaux ont éloigné le public du vrai sens de la musique mais rendent les ‘peoples’ plus accessibles. Quand on vieillit on trouve du positif partout vous voyez”. À l’heure où les très populaires One Direction officialisent eux leur séparation temporaire, les All Saints ont peut-être une place à retrouver!

L’animatrice fait son grand retour à la télé.

Un parcours à la télé pas vraiment linéaire, un sincère attachement pour les causes qu’elle défend. Née le 25 octobre 1980, Laurie Cholewa prend à partir de ce soir les commandes de Nouvelle Star sur D8, prenant ainsi la succession dans le désordre de Benjamin Castaldi, Virginie Efira, Virginie Guilhaume et Cyril Hanouna. Et, sur le banc du jury du télé-crochet cette année, André Manoukian, Sinclair, Elodie Frégé et JoeyStarr.

A priori, rien ne prédestinait vraiment Laurie Cholewa a se retrouver de ce côté ci du petit écran, si ce n’est son physique avantageux. Parisienne, titulaire d’un master de droit des affaires à La Sorbonne, elle bifurque pourtant en mars 2005 vers Direct 8, alors chaîne autoproclamée du direct, où elle se fait les dents.

En 2010, elle répond à l’appel de France 2 pour animer une émission de variété intitulée Encore une chanson. Mais cette variation télévisée du radiophonique Stop ou encore ! ne convainc pas. Il n’y aura pas de seconde chance pour cause d’audiences trop faibles. Après quelques présentations encore pour France 2 (Dans l’univers de…), France 3 (La grande soirée Abba), Eurosport, France Ô (Tendances Ô), TMC (Le Grand Bétiser, Disques d’Or…) des passages à la radio ou encore le Loto sur TF1 en remplacement de Karine Ferri enceinte, Nouvelle Star marque donc son grand retour régulièrement à l’antenne, avec un programme emblématique de la chaîne de la TNT D8.

Côté vie privée, Laurie Cholewa a souvent raconté sa brève aventure de six mois avec l’acteur britannique Gerard Butler (300, PS I love You) dont elle garde le souvenir d’une « jolie histoire ». A la même époque, en 2010, Laurie Cholewa venait de perdre son père d’un cancer du pancréas. Depuis, elle met toute son énergie à monter un concert caritatif en faveur de la recherche contre cette maladie, à chaque rentrée à l’Olympia à Paris. Le 17 septembre 2015, l’événement accueillait Louane, Grégoire, Emmanuel Moire, Marina Kaye ou encore Salvatore Adamo.

En véritable groupie des Bleus, Ségolène Royal s’est invitée au déjeuner du président François Hollande avec l’équipe de France de football à l’Elysée au lendemain de leur défaite contre le Portugal. La ministre était pourtant attendue à l’Assemblée nationale où certains ont vu rouge lorsqu’il ont découvert son absence.

C’est avec beaucoup d’étonnement que les députés ont observé le siège vide de Ségolène Royal à l’Assemblée nationale lundi 11 juillet, à l’occasion du débat sur l’enfouissement des déchets nucléaires. Un rendez-vous essentiel auquel la ministre de l’Ecologie aurait du participer afin d’encourager l’adoption de la proposition de loi. Mais le débat a apparemment été rayé de son agenda : la ministre a préféré se rendre à l’Elysée prendre quelques selfies avec les Bleus, à l’occasion du déjeuner organisé par le Président de la République.

Cécile Duflot n’a pas manqué de découvrir le subterfuge de la ministre et a commencé par l’interpeller sur les réseaux sociaux : “Chère Ségolène Royal, pourquoi le secrétaire d’état à la francophonie vous remplace-t-il au débat d’enfouissement des déchets nucléaires ?”

Une heure plus tard, c’est un post Twitter de Ségolène Royal elle-même qui a révélé les raisons de son absence de l’assemblée. Non, elle n’était ni malade ni prise par un autre rendez-vous professionnel urgent : Ségolène Royal était bien en compagnie des Bleus à prendre quelques clichés avec les plus grands joueurs de l’équipe comme Antoine Griezmann, ou encore Paul Pogba et Samuel Umtiti.

Les quelques selfies souriants de la ministre ont eu eu de quoi faire rager la députée dans l’hémicycle mais aussi de nombreux internautes sur Twitter, qui ont crié à l’irrespect et à l’irresponsabilité de la femme politique. Cécile Duflot a quant à elle qualifié ce débat de “mascarade.” Après tout, qui ne voudrait pas son selfie avec Antoine Griezmann ?

Merci à cette belle et grande équipe pour avoir fait vibrer tout un pays #FiersdetreBleus#Euro2016pic.twitter.com/nDhHQDemGP

Manchester City are plotting a huge bid for Manchester United transfer target Bruno Fernandes, according to reports in Portugal.

Fernandes has managed to contribute 13 goals and ten assists in 22 matches in all competitions this season for Sporting.

The Portugal international is said to be desperate to move and has reportedly agreed terms with the Old Trafford club.

Reports in Portugal had claimed early last week that United had struck a €70m deal for Fernandes but fresh claims on Friday said that Sporting were demanding way more than the Red Devils wanted to pay.

ESPN even went as far as saying that Man Utd were ‘prepared to walk away from a deal’ over the huge gap between the two club’s valuations of the player.

And now Portuguese outlet Correio da Manha (via Sport Witness) claims that City could make a bid to hijack United’s move for Fernandes.

The report said that City are ‘willing to pay’ €100m (£86m) for Fernandes with the Citizens willing to agree a deal now and then wait for him to join in the summer.

However, that fee seems wildly different to what other Portuguese newspapers are reporting with A Bola, O Jogo and Record all claiming Sporting only want a deal of around €70m, which is still more than what Man Utd want to spend.

Sport Witness adds that Correio da Manha have a ‘bad track record’ on reporting the Fernandes transfer and it could be wide of the mark.

 

Jamie Carragher and Roy Keane clashed on Sky Sports on Sunday in the aftermath of Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Manchester United.

Jurgen Klopp’s men dominated the Red Devils as goals from Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah put the match to bed.

Man Utd are sitting fifth in the Premier League table on the same points as sixth-placed Wolves and trailing Chelsea – who occupy fourth position – by five points.

Following the match, Carragher questioned whether other big clubs around Europe would tolerate the results that Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was getting at United.

To which Keane launched a defence of his former team-mate, backing him to get it right at Old Trafford eventually.

Enjoy the full 590-word transcript here (via the Daily Express)…

Keane: “We talk about Pep Guardiola, what did he do in his first season at Manchester City, the messiah?”

Carragher: “He finished in the Champions League.”

Keane: “That’s good enough for the best manager in the world?”

Carragher: “It was his first season, then he bought the full-backs.”

Keane: “Even he had to go to City and say, I need four full-backs.”

 

Carragher: “Who spent the most money in the summer?”

Keane: “I’ll have a guess, Manchester United?”

Carragher: “Yep.”

Keane: “I’ll make the point, the recruitment wasn’t up to it. That can’t be down to Ole, who’s bringing in the players? Your guess is as good as mine.

“Who was bringing in the players when David Moyes was there? Who was bringing in the players when Van Gaal was there?

“I don’t know the structure of the club but that’s not working. Recruitment can always be hit and miss but they’re getting far too many wrong.”

Carragher: “When you’re talking about Man United…”

Keane: “The season hasn’t finished yet. Give them the benefit of the doubt, fourth place is still available and they could win the FA Cup!”

Carragher: “Manchester United are one of the biggest clubs in the world, would Bayern Munich or Real Madrid put up with what’s going on at United now?”

Keane: “We’re all sitting here saying praising Liverpool, but if they’re the answers, what were Liverpool for the last 30 years?

“Who was making the decisions here then? They’ve had some brilliant players, it didn’t happen. They were chopping and changing coaches but now Jurgen Klopp is here.

 

“It takes a year or two, I came to watch Liverpool are a year or two ago, honestly they were shocking to watch. They were beaten by Wolves in the FA Cup.

“I was thinking Klopp, he’s got a big job on his hands, they’ve got it right with the right recruitment and support.

“To suggest that Liverpool have all the answers and United are amateurs is completely wrong.”

Keane: “What about the previous managers, are you saying they are all bad managers?

Carragher: “Manchester United, do you think they’ve done good jobs? You slaughtered Mourinho when he was in the job.”

Keane: “He needed more time.”

Carragher: “He needed more time? You think he need more time?”

Keane: “Absolutely, that’s the name of the game. To question Ole and says he’s not up to it, for some reason other managers go to other clubs and are given the benefit of the doubt.”

Carragher: “Their CV probably gives them the benefit of the doubt.”

Keane: “Frank Lampard is at Chelsea and I saw them last night…”

 

Carragher: “He’s been in the job six months.”

Keane: “And I’d say the same thing, give him time. Give Ole time, how long has Ole been in the job?”

Carragher: “What is it, 18 months?”

Keane: “Has it been that long? 18 months? Can we find out how long he’s been in the job?”

“16 months? Give the man a chance. Chelsea last night, decent team, couldn’t get the job done. Lampard has lost eight games, but he has all the answers for Chelsea? He hasn’t but give the man time.

“Ole and all this carry on, give him the time. And previous managers before Ole, are you telling me that they didn’t know what the game was about Jamie?”

Carragher: “Tell me what the problem is!”

Keane: “David Moyes was given a six-year contract, Sir Alex Ferguson on the pitch saying get behind the manager, back him, give him a bit more time, not eight months and I wouldn’t have sacked him on Twitter.”

Carragher: “Okay well how long would you give Ole?”

Keane: “Certainly another year.”

 

FERNANDES TELLS SPORTING HE WANTS MAN UTD MOVE
Ed Woodward and his record at Manchester United came under more public scrutiny yesterday after the defeat to Liverpool – have you read 16 Conclusions? – but the morning after the morning after is usually the time for the inevitable transfer tittle-tattle to distract everyone from the shambles in the Old Trafford boardroom. So tune in tomorrow.

Today, all we can offer is the latest update on Bruno Fernandes: there is no update. United are still not coming up with the money required to sign the Sporting Lisbon midfielder.

But Sky Sports says Fernandes has told Sporting that he is ‘desperate’ to make the move and ‘there is a willingness’ on all sides to get a deal done. United may be a little more amenable if talks restart today, as they are expected.

 

 

UNITED EYE TEMPORARY SOLUTION TO STRIKER PROBLEM
Erling Haaland’s debut hat-trick came at the wrong time for United. The striker who was said to be United’s top target this month bagged three in 23 minutes on Saturday, just while the Red Devils were looking at the X-rays of Marcus Rashford’s back, wondering ‘what the hell are we going to do now?’

The answer to which appears to involve loan signings. United were already looking for loan midfielders, now multiple reports claim they are eyeing a striker on a temporary basis too. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said as much yesterday.

So that will be two players in United’s XI who can’t get into the first XI at what they consider their European rivals.

 

CAVANI WANTS IMMEDIATE PSG EXIT
United could go and buy Edinson Cavani.

The striker has told PSG he doesn’t want to wait for the expiry of his contract in the summer and he wants to leave this month.

Atletico Madrid have had an £8.5million offer rejected by the Parisians, who were said to be looking for three times that figure.

Here comes Woodward to offer £5million…

 

SPURS EYE LEICESTER STRIKER
Spurs are also desperately searching for a striker and the Telegraph reckons Jose Mourinho is going on a fox hunt…

Talks with AC Milan over Krzysztof Piatek have gone nowhere so Spurs are looking towards Monaco at Leicester striker Islam Slimani.

The Algeria striker has scored eight in 11 starts while on loan in Ligue 1 and Mourinho is said to be looking at the possibility of making Leicester an offer they can’t refuse to recall the 31-year-old before packing him off to White Hart Lane.

Aston Villa have already registered an interest in Slimani but Brendan Rodgers said last week that a deal with the Villans might be ‘too complicated’.

 

AND THE REST
PSG left-back Layvin Kurzawa will join Arsenal on a five-year deal in the summer… The Gunners will move for Jerome Boateng on loan before spending big on RB Leipzig centre-back Dayot Upamecano in the summer… Inter Milan want Christian Eriksen signed in time for their match against Cagliari next weekend… Inter are still hoping to sign Victor Moses, Olivier Giroud and Luka Modric… Leicester and Villa are eyeing Amiens striker Serhou Guirassy… Inter have rejected Man City and Barcelona’s bids for Inter centre-back Alessandro Bastoni… Liverpool are considering an offer for Nice’s teenage midfielder Pedro Brazao… Lyon are rivalling Arsenal for Athletico Paranaense defensive midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.

Jurgen Klopp claims Liverpool should have been “more clear” of Manchester United before Mo Salah wrapped up a 2-0 win at Anfield.

Liverpool scored with their first real attempt of the game, as Virgil van Dijk went unchallenged to power in a header from a corner.

The Reds had two other goals chalked off in a first half they dominated.

And the pattern of play was similar in the second period as United’s goal was under siege.

The visitors grew into the game slowly and could have equalised as Anthony Martial blazed over after some fine build-up play from the Red Devils.

But Mo Salah sealed the win for Liverpool in the last minute as Alisson found the striker brilliantly, allowing the Egyptian to run through and slide the ball under David de Gea.

Klopp told Sky Sports: “It’s a big relief, I was really happy with 85-90% of the game, we were brilliant. We dominated the game, especially in the first half. The energy they put on the pitch was incredible.

“On a normal day we would have scored three times in the first half and in the second half until 65 minutes we should have been more clear.

“But then United have obvious quality, played a bit more football and we had to defend. There we little mistakes here and there, we didn’t use possession well enough and so the game stays open.

“Then we scored a wonderful, wonderful goal at the end, a really good feeling.”

Klopp was asked if he was surprised by the level of performance his players maintain.

He added: “To be honest, not really. We had exceptional sessions against the kids – 11 v 11. The boys go like crazy. I don’t take it for granted but I see them during the week so I’m not surprised.”

Guardiola’s men were forced to wait for a breakthrough in the last match against the Blades and Al Hain-Cole expects more of the same at Bramall Lane

Manchester City will be determined to return to winning ways when they travel to Bramall Lane to take on Sheffield United on Tuesday.
 
Pep Guardiola’s men were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Crystal Palace at the weekend, with Fernandinho’s late own goal bringing his side’s run of five consecutive victories to an end.

Sheffield United vs Manchester City Latest Odds

Unbeaten in seven Premier League matches against this opposition, they are 1/3 (1.33) favourites with bet365 to collect maximum points here.

However, the Blades ran out 2-1 winners when the sides last met here in 2008’s FA Cup clash, and can be backed at 8/1 (9.00) to come out on top once again in completely different circumstances.
 
Just one of the guests’ last 26 away league games has resulted in a draw, but you can get odds of 4/1 (5.00) on them being forced to settle for a single point in this one.

Sheffield United vs Manchester City Team News

David McGoldrick will face a late fitness test for the Blades, having missed Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Arsenal due to a foot injury.
 
Long-term casualties Aymeric Laporte and Leroy Sane remain the only injury absentees for the visitors.

Sheffield United vs Manchester City Preview

The Citizens were forced to work hard for their three points in the reverse encounter at the Etihad Stadium just after Christmas, eventually running out 2-0 winners after going in level at the break.
 
It is likely to be similar story at Bramall Lane, where Chris Wilder’s team has only conceded four first-half goals in 14 fixtures so far this campaign.
 
However, Sheffield United have also struggled for a breakthrough at the other end of the pitch, having scored before the break in only two of their last nine matches.

Sheffield United vs Manchester City Tips and Predictions

All in all, even money (2.00) seems like good value on the majority of the goalmouth action taking place in the second period for Manchester City’s fifth Premier League game in six.

A former Old Trafford favourite believes that the Red Devils are over reliant on the England international, who is now struggling with a back injury

Marcus Rashford is putting extra “strain on his body” while trying to shoulder the main goalscoring burden for Manchester United, according to Paul Ince.

Rashford is currently enjoying his best season yet in a United shirt, adding a clinical edge to his game which had previously been lacking.

The 22-year-old has scored 19 goals in 31 appearances across all competitions, including 14 in the Premier League, which accounts for almost half of United’s overall tally.

The England international has emerged as the most important player in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad, but that extra responsibility is beginning to take its toll.

Rashford was forced off the pitch with a back issue shortly after coming on as a substitute in a 1-0 FA Cup third-round replay against Wolves in midweek, and is now a major doubt for Sunday’s huge showdown with Liverpool.

Ince thinks United’s overall lack of quality is to blame for Rashford’s injury, with it his belief that Liverpool and Manchester City still boast far stronger squads.

“Rashford is one of the very few players I would call a proper United player in that team,” the ex-United midfielder told The Sun .

“He understands the history and what level you need to be a top player.

“He is at that level and goes the extra 100 yards – and he puts a strain on his body by doing that.

“Maybe that’s the reason he gets injured. Liverpool and City can go two goals or three goals up and bring off their top players – United cannot do that.

“The club relies on Rashford because they cannot score goals without him.

“Is he the victim of his own success? You could say that, but this is where they are currently.”

Ince did, however, raise doubts over Rashford’s durability, insisting that a player at his age “should be able to play every game”.

“When you are at that age however, you should be able to play every game,” Ince added.

“We are not talking about me when I was at Wolves at 34 or 35 and having to sit out of training sessions because I was that old.

“When you are young and playing well you want to play every game and should be capable.”

After United’s trip to Anfield, Solskjaer will start preparing his players for another crucial Premier League clash, with Burnley set to arrive at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

Vendredi 6 novembre, Le Point publiait un édito signé Jean-Paul Brighelli. Ce dernier y proférait des attaques sexistes à l’encontre de Najat Vallaud-Belkacem. La ministre de l’Éducation a répondu ce matin sur France Info.

« Je voudrais remercier tous ceux qui se sont exprimés en soutien pour dénoncer ces propos. » Avant de se lancer dans une contre-attaque, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem a pris le temps de dire merci à ceux qui sont dans son camp. Ceux qui, sur les réseaux sociaux ou ailleurs, se sont insurgés contre les propos de Jean-Paul Brighelli. Dans Le Point du 6 novembre, celui-ci avait lancé des attaques sexistes contre la ministre.

« C’est dans Annie Hall que Woody Allen développe le concept californien de LVS – la ligne visible du slip, écrivait-il. Mercredi, Najat Vallaud-Belkacem l’a réactualisé en LVS 2 – ligne visible du soutif. Une stratégie de communication vieille comme le monde – le rouge à lèvres et les pendentifs aux oreilles arborés par Mme Vallaud-Belkacem avaient ce mardi lors des questions au gouvernement à l’Assemblée, la même fonction »écran de fumée”, mais inédite devant la représentation nationale”.

Najat Vallaud-Belkacem a répondu sur France Info qu’il ne fallait pas prêter attention aux propos de Jean-Paul Brighelli. « Il ne mérite pas qu’on s’encombre l’esprit avec lui, assure-t-elle. Moi, je ne m’encombre pas l’esprit avec quelqu’un qui, comme lui, se croit autorisé à donner des leçons sur l’école et commence par la qualifier de fabrique du crétin, c’est vous dire la finesse légendaire du personnage. Il ne m’intéresse pas. Je vais beaucoup mieux depuis que je l’ai fait disparaitre de mon champ de vision. » La ministre de l’Éducation préfère se concentrer sur la campagne anti-harcèlement lancée récemment.
