And yet, the coronation coverage found an audience of 85 million viewers in the US, according to the BBC.

The existence of Barnes' lawsuit against the SEC, which has been pending under a pseudonym since April, hasn't previously been reported. SEC whistleblower matters are confidential, so Barnes' lawyers had asked the court to refer to him as "Jamie Doe." The name of the SEC whistleblower case — "In the Matter of Focus Media" — was unredacted at least once, as was the name of Grace, the enforcement lawyer. Barnes said in his lawsuit that he wasn't represented by a lawyer when he first requested a whistleblower award. Block and Barnes weren't named by the agency, and the connection only became clear after Barnes sued Block last month.

Puţini se aşteptau ca portughezul să semneze aşa repede cu o altă echipă, după despărţirea de Tottenham, mai ales demiterea i-a adus o mulţime de bani. Dar minunea s-a produs pentru un contract de 7 milioane de euro pe sezon, iar romanii au început să viseze la trofee. Patronul american al Romei este om de afaceri, aşa că a stabilit deja o strategie prin care să facă şi nişte bani de pe urma lui Mourinho.

A decis să își schimbe numele, în mod legal, în Celine Dion, artista lui preferată, scrie b1.ro. În seara de Crăciun, bărbatul a urmărit mai multe concerte ale artistei, iar decizia a venit într-un moment de totală euforie, potrivit Birmingham Live. Deși pentru el a fost amuzant, Celine, pe numele său actual, spune că mama lui nu a fost absolut deloc încântată de idee, iar sora lui a fost de-a dreptul șocantă când a aflat cum și-a dorit să îl cheme în acte. Chiar dacă pentru familie a fost o lovitură, britanicul de 30 de ani a recunoscut că nu își dorește să revină la numele său real.
