WWE: Roman Reigns suspended after violating wellness policy

WWE has suspended former world champion Roman Reigns for violating the company's wellness policy.
According to WWE.com , it is the three-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion's first wellness violation since joining the promotion.
In a statement, the company today said: "WWE has suspended Joe Anoa`i (Roman Reigns) for 30 days effective immediately for his first violation of the company’s talent wellness policy."
The 31-year-old, from Pensacola, Florida, took to Twitter to say sorry.
He posted: "I apologize to my family, friends and fans for my mistake in violating WWE’s wellness policy. No excuses. I own it."

I apologize to my family, friends and fans for my mistake in violating WWE’s wellness policy. No excuses. I own it.

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) implemented its Talent Wellness Program on February 27, 2006.
It has two components, an aggressive substance abuse and drug testing policy, and a cardiovascular testing and monitoring program.
Reigns unexpectedly lost the WWE World Heavyweight Championship to Seth Rollins at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view on Sunday.
Dean Ambrose then cashed in his newly-won Money In The Bank contract to take the title from Rollins, in what may now be considered prescient booking.
Last night on Raw, a Triple Threat match was announced between the trio at WWE Battleground event on July 24.
That match could still take place, as Reigns' suspension is set to end on July 20.
WWE has positioned Roman as the new face of the company over the past 18 months, with the superstar headlining WrestleMania 31 and 32 and winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship from Triple H in April.
However, his supposedly heroic character has received negative reviews from critics and fans alike, despite his performances contributing to some of the best matches in WWE this past year.

Game of Thrones Star Gemma Whelan says fans don't recognise her

Being part of a major HBO series would mean endless recognition, but not for actress Gemma Whelan.
The 35-year-old – who has played Yara Greyjoy on Game of Thrones since 2012 – admitted she STILL doesn't get stopped by fans on the street, a la the likes of Kit Harrington.
"People don't normally recognise me. It is happening a bit more now because I've had more to do this season," said the actress during her appearance on Good Morning Britain.

She also revealed that when she does get approached she's warned against ruining the plot, rather than being asked for spoilers.
"Actually more people say 'Don't spoil it for me', it's changed now," she joked.
When asked how the role had changed her entire life, Gemma said: "I think Game of Thrones probably impacts what auditions I get and stuff like that, it's hard to tell."
Gemma's latest stint as Lara, in season six's Battle of the Bastards episode, saw the wannabe ruler *SPOILER ALERT* meet with Daenerys Targaryen along with her brother Theon and offer her their fleet of ships.

Miss Great Britain title: Zara Holland hits back at Pageant Bosses after stripped of title, I’ve done nothing wrong

Zara Holland has hit back at pageant bosses after she was stripped of her Miss Great Britain title.
The blonde 20-year-old was left devastated when she discovered she had her title removed after having sex on ITV2 dating program Love Island .
Talking about the decision since leaving the show, Zara said: “I’ve done nothing wrong. All women have needs.”
"There is nothing wrong with having sex on TV. I knew what I was signing up for - it is Love Island . I am a 20-year-old girl who was in the moment. There are lots of girls my age who go out every week and do that, mine was just on national TV,” she told The Sun .

The 20-year-old also said she’s very disappointed in the organisation and spoke of her devastation at losing her crown.
The model, from Hull, added: "I haven’t committed a crime so why should I have my title taken from me? It’s horrific.”
She went on to say she had lots of fun on the show and has no regrets - except for her family members having to see it.

Zara also responded to beauty queen Deone Robertson, who was handed the crown in Zara's place, after she said she saw it coming.
"The rules are all on the website. Some say they're outdated but at the end of the day, rules are rules and you have to stick to them," Deone shared.

"Zara has been in the pageant industry a long time. She would have known all of this. She knew the difficult situation she would have been putting the organisers in
But I think the pageant community saw this coming. Nobody is saying she did anything wrong. She is a young girl enjoying life but under these circumstances, she can't be a title holder."
“Well, if that’s her opinion, let her have it," Zara added to the newspaper.

Rio 2016 Olympic: jaguar shot dead after escaping during torch ceremony

A jaguar which featured at an Olympic torch ceremony in Brazil was killed shortly after the event, the army has said. The animal was shot dead by a soldier after it escaped from its handlers in the Brazilian Amazon city of Manaus.

The jaguar was killed on Monday at a zoo attached to a military training center where the Olympic torch ceremony was held.
A soldier fired a single pistol shot when the escaped animal, despite being tranquilized, approached the soldier, the army said.

"We made a mistake in permitting the Olympic torch, a symbol of peace and unity, to be exhibited alongside a chained wild animal. This image goes against our beliefs and our values," the local organising committee Rio 2016 said in a statement.
"We guarantee that there will be no more such incidents at Rio 2016," the committee added.

The shooting caused uproar among animal rights groups, which pointed to the recent killing of a gorilla at a Cincinnati zoo and alligators at Walt Disney World in Orlando as evidence of flawed policy towards wild animals. Many questioned why the animal was involved in the Olympic event.
"When will we learn? Wild animals held captive and forced to do things that are frightening, sometimes painful, and always unnatural are ticking time bombs - our actions put them and humans at risk," Brittany Peet, director of captive animal law enforcement at People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) .

In Brazil, the Rio de Janeiro-based animal rights group Animal Freedom Union asked the same question.
"When will people (and institutions) stop with this sick need to show power and control by confining, taming and showcasing wild animals?" it said on its Facebook page.
"This needs to stop," tweeted Animal Justice, a Canadian animal law organization.
The use of Juma, as the jaguar was known, at the event was also illegal, according to Ipaam, the Amazonas state government environmental authority that oversees the use of wild animals.
"No request was made to authorize the participation of the jaguar "Juma" in the event of the Olympic torch," Ipaam said in a statement. Ipaam said it is investigating the incident.

Game Of Thrones stars expected to survive to season 8 revealed

Game of Thrones fans know no-one is safe when it comes to the blood thirsty series, but has HBO given a huge hint about who might survive until the final season?
With one episode left in season 6, it's been reported that five of the major characters have been given pay rises as they sign up for season seven and are expected to stay on for eight.
According to Deadline Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Kit Harington (Jon Snow), Lena Headey (Cersei Lannister), Emilia Clarke (Daenerys Targaryen) and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Jaime Lannister) will all earn over $500,000 an episode for next year's season.
The report does state though that this doesn't guarantee they'll survive, but it's a good indication these major characters will all still be around, as other regulars haven't yet been resigned.
Notably, it doesn't include Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) or Sophie Turner (Sansa Stark) - does this mean more bad news for the Stark family?
As ever HBO are being very secretive about what fans can expect from season 7, but it has already been confirmed it will be shorter, possibly seven episodes.
Season 8 could have even fewer, with the entire show wrapped up in just six hour-long episodes.
The penultimate episode of series six - The Battle Of The Bastards - has been hailed as the best ever episode of the fantasy drama with Sansa Stark taking centre stage as she battled with husband Ramsay Bolton for control of her childhood home Winterfell.

The Barcelona superstar, who turns 29 on Friday, broke Gabriel Batistuta's 54-goal tally with his 31st minute effort, curling home in magnificent fashion and leaving US keeper Brad Guzan grasping at thin air.

"I am happy to have surpassed Batistuta's record and I want to thank my team-mates, it's theirs as well," said the forward.
