Trois mois après leur violente altercation, Nabilla et Thomas semblent enfin retrouver la raison. Les deux amants terribles prennent leurs distances l’un de l’autre. Sur Twitter en tout cas.

Nous ne twitterons plus ensemble. Nabilla Bennatia et Thomas Vergara ont fait un choix raisonnable. Le duo terrible de télé-réalité a finalement décidé de couper les ponts sur Twitter.

Certains fans particulièrement attentifs aux faits et gestes de la starlette et de son fiancé ont constaté qu’ils ne se suivaient plus mutuellement. Ainsi, la jeune femme ne voit plus ce que son compagnon poste en ligne, et inversement. Une décision radicale pour eux mais presque obligatoire pour la jeune femme.

Accusée d’avoir poignardé son petit ami dans le nuit du 6 au 7 novembre 2014, Nabilla est finalement sortie de prison après un mois d’enfermement. Libérée mais placée sous contrôle judiciaire, la starlette se doit de ne pas communiquer sur l’affaire dans la presse et de ne pas entrer en contact avec Thomas Vergara. Après avoir posté plusieurs messages mystérieux, que certains ont crus destinés à son amoureux, Nabilla s’assure avec cette éviction de ne pas faire de bêtises en 140 signes.

La bimbo semble avoir encore du mal à se séparer de Thomas. Mais Public, qui affirmait la semaine dernière avoir surpris le couple à Genève lors d’une soirée en amoureux aurait tout faux. Nabilla affirme que la photo du magazine date de 2013. La patience et l’éloignement sont les deux vertus d’une jeune femme en attente de son procès prévu pour le milieu, voire la fin d’année.

President Donald Trump fired back at Will & Grace star Debra Messing after she called for the identities of those attending his fundraiser next month to be made public.

“I have not forgotten that when it was announced that I was going to do The Apprentice, and when it then became a big hit, helping NBC’s failed lineup greatly, @DebraMessing came up to me at an Upfront & profusely thanked me, even calling me ‘Sir.’” President Trump said Sunday. “How times have changed!”

Debra Messing joined her Will & Grace co-star Eric McCormack on Saturday, talking to social media and calling for the doxxing of those attending of next month’s Beverly Hills fundraiser for President Trump.

“Please print a list of all attendees please. The public has a right to know,” Messing said on Twitter followers, linking to in a Hollywood Reporter story detailing the September 17 fundraiser.

McCormack begged the Hollywood Reporter to publish the names of the fundraiser attendees so “the rest of us can be clear about who we don’t wanna work with.”

“Hey, @THR, kindly report on everyone attending this event, so the rest of us can be clear about who we don’t wanna work with. Thx,” the actor said.

Pushback over McCormack’s plea came fast and furious with actor Isaiah Washington asking Twitter founder and CEO Jack Dorsey if McCormack’s tweet was “okay for the good of society.”

Monday on MSNBC’s “Live,” radio host Charlamagne tha God encouraged African-Americans to vote because and asked the question, who is next to be concentration camps?

Charlamagne tha God said, “I think what we are experiencing right now in America is fascism. You know what I’m saying? Fascism is something that is going to impact all Americans period. And that is where we are as a country right now. Everything that Donald Trump is doing is part of a larger fascism agenda if you ask me.”

He continued, “I think democracy, as we know in America, is dead…I really do. This guy controls the Department of Justice at this point. The Senate is ran by Republicans. He basically has the Supreme Court in his pocket.”

Host Stephanie Ruhle asked, “Take me to black voters. I realize there is not one black vote. Black voters came out in droves to support Barack Obama. Less so for Hillary Clinton. You have said Hillary Clinton and other Democrats have taken the black vote for granted. Given what the president has done over the last two years, is that enough to get black voters motivated again to go out and vote in a big way?”

Charlamagne tha God said, “If they know what I know they should. America is in danger. Like who you think is going to be impacted the most by whatever racist policies, whatever policies that oppress, whatever policies that marginalize? Like who is next to be in concentration camps in America? It’s not going to be white people. I don’t think so. If we know what’s good us, we would definitely go out there and vote.”

Even before EU leaders gathered in Brussels for a pre-dinner drink on Thursday, the lead candidate system was seriously on the rocks.

Leaders of the European Parliament — the institution that most vocally championed the Spitzenkandidat process for picking the next European Commission president — effectively killed it on Thursday morning.

The new heads of the Socialist and liberal-centrist groups told their conservative counterpart, Manfred Weber, he would not have their support in his bid to claim the Commission presidency.

Under the Spitzenkandidat system, the Commission president should go to a lead candidate from the European Parliament election. By that logic, Weber would be in pole position as his European People’s Party (EPP) came first in the election. But the EPP has only 180 seats in the 751-member Parliament so he needs the support of other major groups to claim the presidency.

Weber also faces resistance from multiple EU leaders, who have noted that he has no experience of high-level executive office.

A Commission president must be nominated by the European Council of EU leaders and confirmed by a vote in the European Parliament. The term of incumbent Jean-Claude Juncker of the EPP expires at the end of October.

The parliamentary group leaders, Iratxe García of the Social Democrats and Dacian Cioloș of the Renew Europe group, did not rule out supporting one of their own nominees. But their chances look slim as the EPP is unlikely to support a Spitzenkandidat put forward by rival, smaller groups who torpedoed Weber.

The group leaders’ move potentially cost Parliament substantial institutional credibility. But by dropping the ax ahead of Thursday evening’s summit discussion about leadership posts, they helped European Council President Donald Tusk in accelerating the search for what he has called “Plan B.”

With Weber and the other lead candidates, Commission First Vice President Frans Timmermans of the Socialists and Competition Commissioner Margrethe Vestager of the liberals, largely written off, furious speculation ensued throughout Brussels and in capitals across the Continent over who might emerge as the leading contenders to run the EU institutions.

Those talked about for Commission president included the EU’s Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier, former Commission Vice President Kristalina Georgieva of Bulgaria, who is now chief executive of the World Bank, and International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde, as well as a constellation of current and former prime ministers including Andrej Plenković of Croatia.

Leaders have also said they hope to improve the gender balance in senior EU positions, leading to a flurry of speculation about female politicians, including outgoing Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaitė, and Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović. However, several EU diplomats cautioned that the hope for better gender balance would not prevent a male-centered deal, if one emerged as the most expedient solution to the great leadership jigsaw puzzle.

In addition to the Commission president, who is nominated by a qualified majority of the Council and confirmed by a majority of Parliament, the leaders must choose a European Council president as well as a high representative for foreign affairs. By treaty, the leaders are obligated to seek a balance among political parties as well as by geography and demography.

The presidency of the European Central Bank is also a factor in the discussions, though only indirectly, given the special expertise required and the bank’s political independence.

Two liberals, Belgian Prime Minster Charles Michel, who has been in a caretaker position since his coalition collapsed in December, and outgoing Danish Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen, were among those mentioned as a possible Council president.

Throughout Thursday, there were indications that leaders were headed into a potentially tense and acrimonious summit meal to discuss the top jobs. The EPP signaled it was up for a fight.

Speaking to a reporter on the sidelines of his party’s pre-summit meeting, EPP President Joseph Daul said he is furious. “What is done to Mr. Weber is a scandal,” Daul said. “He didn’t deserve it and I will defend him till the end.”

Daul also seemed to threaten to delay the entire EU leadership selection process, noting that Juncker, who is not seeking a second term, could easily stay in office. “We have time, if Juncker stays until next spring,” Daul said. “It’s really not a problem.”

The EPP, which has long dominated EU politics, won the most seats in this year’s European Parliament election and is far better organized than its rivals, especially the liberals, who have been consumed by infighting in recent days.

Numerous EU officials and diplomats said that anger is rising among conservatives who feel the liberals, steered by French President Emmanuel Macron, and the Socialists, led by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, have overplayed their hand. Many predicted the EPP would almost certainly claim the Commission presidency, just not for Weber.

Sánchez, arriving at the summit, said he is hopeful that an agreement will be reached “today or tomorrow” as a way to “send out a message of stability, of agreement, of certainty” to the European public.

He also disputed the original definition of a successful Spitzenkandidat, as the candidate of the party winning the most seats in Parliament. He said the correct definition is someone who had run as a lead candidate and could win the support of the Council and the Parliament — a remark that suggested he has not given up on Timmermans’ chances.

“The Spitzenkandidat is not the one who wins elections,” Sánchez said. “The Spitzenkandidat is the common candidate we have in each family and the person who will be elected is the one with the major support, first in the Council and then in a second step in the Parliament.”

Sanchez said that the most important thing right now is a fair division of the EU’s spoils, “the representation of political families among the four main jobs.”

Latvian Prime Minister Krišjānis Kariņš, who is one of two negotiators on the top jobs for the EPP in the Council, suggested a deal is still some way off.

“My sense is that we are a little ways away from this,” Kariņš said. “In the past weeks we’ve been hearing a lot of negatives, against an individual — no, no, no, no. But what we need to hear is the yes.”

“The trick is to get a positive vote,” he added. “This spirit of cooperation and compromise, which has been one of the trademarks of the European political system, is running into a little bit of bumpy waters but I’ll think we’ll overcome this.”

Those bumpy waters meant that many officials expected the heads of state and government would conclude their discussion on Thursday night without consensus on a leadership package. Tusk, who had expressed hope a deal could be reached, sought to lower expectations after meeting Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Merkel and Macron remain the biggest power players in the EU leadership deliberations, but each is also facing obstacles. Merkel has announced that she is serving her last term, and her government coalition back home is increasingly fragile.

Macron, still a political novice on the European stage, has stumbled in his early efforts to wield pan-EU influence. His pick to lead the new liberal-centrist group, former French Europe Minister Nathalie Loiseau, was forced to drop her candidacy after infuriating the group’s rank and file with a tone many complained was blustering and arrogant.

The infighting among Renew Europe, which abated only on Wednesday morning with the selection of Cioloș as group leader, slowed down efforts at inter-party negotiations both over the package of leadership jobs and over policy issues. Those talks were already moving slowly because of ambitious demands from the Greens, empowered by recent electoral success.

The Greens are not represented in the European Council and are the smallest of the four pro-EU groups in the Parliament so they are not in line for a top EU job. That gives them less reason to compromise on their policy priorities, which include more aggressive efforts to combat climate change. Even as the Socialists and liberals declared their opposition to Weber, the Greens merely stood by and said they would only endorse candidates who sign on to their priorities.

ANKARA — Some 30 years ago, on the occasion of Turkey’s formal membership application to the EU, then Prime Minister Turgut Özal likened the process of joining the bloc to “a long and narrow road,” referring to a famous verse by the folk-poet Aşık Veysel. Time has proven that the road has, indeed, been not just long and narrow, but also bumpy.

Turkey-EU relations were overshadowed in the 1980s by the aftermath of the military coup, in the 1990s by the exclusion of Turkey from the fifth enlargement wave of the EU and most recently, in 2016, by the July 15 coup attempt. Yet, each time the relationship showed resilience against interruptions and found a way out. Today, we find ourselves in a similarly unpromising situation. Yet, once again, I have no doubt that we will manage to come to agreement with our European friends to put Turkey’s EU process back on track.

I have three strong reasons to believe so. First of all, we are leaving behind the difficult times that followed the 2016 attempted coup. As a founding member of the Council of Europe, Turkey has carried out its post-coup measures in line with the rule of law and international norms. Those who criticized Turkey on the measures taken miss the point that this was not a simple political matter but an existential issue for Turkish democracy. They also fail to fully appreciate the trauma that the attempt caused.

The EU process is unmistakably at the top of our government’s agenda. We ended the state of emergency in July 2018. After a break of two and a half years, we reconvened the Reform Action Group composed of key ministers, with the objective of rejuvenating political reforms.

Meanwhile, the movement to the presidential system of government has brought faster decision-making and less bureaucracy, allowing reforms to be accelerated. The “100-Day Action Plan” announced by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan includes measures with regard to Chapter 23 of the accession negotiations on Judiciary and Fundamental Rights and Chapter 24 on Justice, Freedom and Security.

Despite all the challenges in striking a balance between freedom and security in one of the world’s most unstable regions, Turkey has been relentlessly seeking to consolidate its democracy, as the Turkish nation deserves the highest standards. To that end, Turkey has adopted more than 2,000 pieces of legislation in line with the EU acquis in the last decade — despite the scourge of terrorism, heavy burdens of irregular migration and a bloody coup attempt.

I find it ironic that the EU shies away from opening the negotiation of chapters under which it criticizes Turkey the most, when we have always been sincere in our openness to constructive criticism.

Secondly, the current international context provides strong motives for a closer alliance. The fundamentals of the post-war order are shaking. Assertive unilateralism is replacing rule-based multilateralism, and destabilizing developments on a wide range of issues — including regional politics, trade, environment and security — are harming the interests of the EU and Turkey alike.

In these testing times, the EU and Turkey have common positions on critical matters including the Palestinian issue and the Iran nuclear deal. EU members have expressed their support for the robust diplomatic efforts of Turkey, particularly for the protection of civilians in Syria. In the face of increasing volatilities, Turkey and the EU have much work to do for the security and stability of our Continent and beyond.

Finally, the EU needs Turkey as much as Turkey needs the EU. In his white paper on the future of Europe, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker identified security threats, irregular migration, declining soft power and aging societies as key challenges, which the EU has to tackle. On each and every one of these items, Turkey is already making meaningful contributions to the EU.

By hosting more than 4 million refugees and halting the flow of thousands via the Aegean Sea, Turkey has prevented a major humanitarian crisis in Europe. Even now, the pressure continues. Asylum seekers continue to risk their lives as turmoil continues in their home countries.

On the fight against terrorism, Turkey has been the leading country among coalition members that fight the so-called Islamic State on the ground. Turkey continues to open its air bases and air space to its coalition partners.

Turning to the financial front, the Turkish financial system and banking sector were resilient enough to counter speculative currency attacks. In 2018, Turkey recorded 2.6 percent growth, despite all the setbacks. We have the youngest society and best services sector in Europe. This list can be extended, but in the context of Brexit, it is fairly easy to see how Turkey fills a substantial EU gap.

Once Turkey becomes a member of the EU, it will significantly contribute to the bloc in a wide range of areas including security, migration, economic dynamism, soft power, social security and energy security. Yet, without a structured relationship and a merit-based accession track, the relation is potentially on the rocks.

I want to call on my colleagues in Brussels and in the EU’s national capitals to return to the spirit of the 1999 Helsinki meeting of the European Council in which Turkey became an official candidate and the EU became a serious anchor. First and foremost, we should restart the accession negotiations as they form the backbone of our relationship.

We should also launch negotiations to update the customs union, to the benefit of all. After fulfilling the six remaining benchmarks determined in the visa liberalization dialogue, visa-free travel should be granted for Turkish citizens. This step would not just contribute to business and employment; it would also further people-to-people dialogue.

The recent decision of the Supreme Election Council to annul the results of the March 31 municipal election in Istanbul is a final judicial decision taken by an independent body, which has received the praise of European monitoring mechanisms for its previous professional work.

The Council took this decision primarily over the unlawful composition of certain election boards. The rerun is now scheduled for June 23. Turkey is proud of its record of holding free and fair elections, and we will certainly do our utmost to hold the rerun under the highest international standards.

After that final poll, we will have an election-free period of roughly four years. Similarly, after the European Parliament election in May, there will be a new term of five years for the EU leadership. We not let this opportunity pass by untapped.

One must not forget that Turkey has had and continues to simultaneously deal with an attempted coup, terrorist organizations and an influx of refugees. Under normal circumstances, one of these is enough to shake a nation. However, Turkey has seen it all and persevered. All that it wants is some understanding and solidarity in the face of this reality.

Major turning points in recent history — including the 9/11 attacks in the United States, the Arab Spring, the global financial crisis and the refugee crisis — have repeatedly proven the strategic importance of the Turkey-EU relationship. Furthermore, economic, political, security and identity-related matters have demonstrated that Turkey is more than a strategic partner for the EU.

I believe that if Turkey were already a member, we would have been more capable and competent in collectively addressing the challenges of today’s highly volatile world order. Let’s not wait another 30 years.

Les candidatures de Nicolas Sarkozy et Alain Juppé à la présidence de l’UMP, en vue de l’élection présidentielle de 2017, divisent la droite. Et même certains couples. Chez les Chirac par exemple, Jacques et Bernadette ne soutiennent pas le même homme et le font savoir.

L’ambiance ne doit pas être toute rose chez les Chirac. Déjà parce que ce n’est pas leur couleur politique, mais surtout parce qu’en ce moment Jacques et Bernadette ne semblent pas partager le même avis sur les candidats à la présidence de l’UMP et, au-delà, à l’élection présidentielle. Jacques Chirac vient en effet de prendre position pour Alain Juppé, tandis qu’en début de semaine Bernadette Chirac a affiché son soutien à Nicolas Sarkozy, flinguant au passage le maire de Bordeaux.

Dans Le Figaro de jeudi, Jacques Chirac a ainsi déclaré: «J’ai toujours su qu’Alain Juppé serait au rendez-vous de son destin et de celui de la France. Peu de choses pouvaient me faire plus plaisir, pour moi-même, pour lui et surtout pour notre pays». Il a même ajouté: «Si j’en avais l’énergie, j’aurais déjà réservé ma place, même une petite, à son QG».

Emanant d’un ancien président de la République dont les prises de paroles sont plutôt rares ces derniers temps, pour ne pas dire inexistantes – on sait Jacques Chirac affaibli physiquement et peu bavard en public -, le soutien a du poids. On sait qu’il ne porte pas Nicolas Sarkozy dans son coeur depuis sa trahison en faveur d’Edouard Balladur en 1995. En 2002, il s’était même prononcé en faveur de François Hollande. Une boutade -peut-être?- mais qui en disait long sur son aversion vis-à-vis de celui qu’il surnomme «le nain». Jacques Chirac avait tout de même précisé «sauf si Alain Juppé se présente», rappelant ainsi son estime pour celui qu’il a toujours qualifié de «meilleur d’entre nous».

Un avis que ne partage pas du tout Bernadette Chirac comme elle l’a rappelé en début de semaine sur Europe 1. Elle avait en effet affirmé à propos du maire de Bordeaux: «Il est très très froid et il n’attire pas les gens, les amis, les électeurs éventuels». Puis l’ancienne première dame avait répété son admiration pour Nicolas Sarkozy qu’elle a soutenu pendant la campagne de 2012, participant même à des meetings. «Mais vous savez, Juppé peut courir avant de faire des succès comme ça sur les planches. Quand on approche des élections de plus en plus importantes, il faut des qualités très exceptionnelles et il y a très peu de gens, je le sais puisque mon mari a été deux fois président de la République, il y a très peu de gens qui peuvent faire ça».

Alain Juppé avait ensuite réagi en confiant qu’il voyait régulièrement Jacques Chirac et que ce dernier l’avait «encouragé à persévérer». Ajoutant, un brin malicieux: «Il m’a confirmé son jugement, que j’étais « le meilleur d’entre nous ». Il persiste…». Bernadette Chirac devait être absente ce jour-là.

Mercredi soir, l’émission Un soir à la Tour Eiffel s’est offerte un coup de pub de mauvais goût. Invité de l’émission, Nicolas Bedos y a déclaré avoir eu une liaison avec Valérie Trierweiler, provoquant un incroyable buzz sur les réseaux sociaux. Il s’agissait en fait d’un canular avoué à la fin du programme et organisé avec la complicité d’Alessandra Sublet.

L’émission a beau se dérouler au premier étage de la Tour Eiffel, mercredi soir elle n’a pas tutoyé les sommets et au contraire touché le fond. Un soir à la Tour Eiffel recevait en effet Nicolas Bedos, réputé bon client des plateaux télé pour son bagout et parfois ses provocations. Il n’a pas déçu les attentes de son hôte puisqu’au cours de l’interview menée par Alessandra Sublet il parle de son nouveau livre qui révèle sa liaison avec Valérie Trierweiler.

Dans Les serments déchirés, il détaille les dix-sept mois de cette improbable romance, depuis leur rencontre au cours d’un dîner en 2012 jusqu’aux rendez-vous secrets et les promesses de mariage. Très rapidement les réseaux sociaux répercutent l’info. Certains s’indignent, d’autres s’interrogent, mais beaucoup flairent le mauvais canular. Le Parisien contacte même Valérie Trierweiler qui dément.

Bref, c’est le flou le plus complet, et au final ce sont les partisans du canular qui ont eu raison. A la fin de l’émission, Nicolas Bedos et Alessandra Sublet révèlent dans un mauvais dialogue qu’il s’agit d’une «grosse connerie». Les deux complices sont visiblement fiers de leur coup et l’écrivain se justifie en affirmant qu’il voulait ainsi dénoncer «la peoplisation de la politique que certains nous imposent». Il estime que «la société subit de plus en plus un espèce de mélange et de bouillabaisse entre le privé et le public, le glauque, l’intime». Et de conclure, avec classe: «je n’ai pas eu d’aventure avec Valérie Trierweiler pour une raison très profonde c’est que ce n’est pas du tout mon genre physiquement». Eclat de rire d’Alessandra Sublet qui lui lance: «Non, il faut arrêter maintenant». Un accès de lucidité qu’elle aurait peut-être dû avoir avant l’émission, lorsque Nicolas Bedos lui a proposé son idée de canular.

C’est en effet une bien mauvaise publicité que s’est offerte une émission qui a besoin de conquérir le public et de s’installer. Au vu des réactions sur Twitter, les téléspectateurs n’ont pas goûté la blague. Pas sûr que le message de Nicolas Bedos soit passé non plus. Il faudra de meilleures idées à Un soir à la Tour Eiffel pour s’élever un peu. Et s’installer au deuxième étage du monument ne suffira pas.
