    ByJustpaste.in

    Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has hinted that his retirement could be closer than expected, saying the upcoming year will probably be the final year of his playing career. The 41-year-old Portugal captain made the comments in an interview with lifestyle magazine Vogue, saying he wants to leave behind a “spectacular legacy” when he eventually walks away from football. Ronaldo has enjoyed one of the most successful careers in football history. Since making his senior debut for Sporting in 2002, he has won major trophies with Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus and his current club, Al-Nassr. He has also won the Ballon d’Or five times. Despite his extraordinary list of achievements, Ronaldo was unable to add a FIFA World Cup title to his collection after Portugal fell short at the 2026 tournament. The forward has scored 976 goals for club and country during a career spanning more than two decades. He is now continuing with Al-Nassr as he approaches the remarkable milestone of 1,000 career goals. Ronaldo also acknowledged that retirement would leave a major gap in his life. He said he plans to spend more time travelling, playing and watching padel, and enjoying life away from professional football. His comments have intensified speculation about when one of football’s greatest careers will finally come to an end.

    Ben Affleck spends 54th birthday with Garner amid JLo buzz

    ByJustpaste.in

    Ben Affleck marked his 54th birthday on Saturday, August 15, with a quiet family celebration. His former wife, Jennifer Garner, was among those who joined in marking the occasion. The two share three children together, Violet, 20, Fin, 17, and Samuel, 14. According to a Daily Mail report, Affleck kept this year’s celebrations especially low-key, given that it marks his first birthday since losing his mother, Chris Anne. The family gathering took place in Santa Monica, where Garner and the children joined Affleck for an intimate celebration. For the outing, Affleck wore a white button-down shirt paired with blue jeans and matching sneakers. He was seen heading to a favourite local eatery over the weekend, accompanied by his two sons, Fin and Samuel. Garner arrived separately for the celebration, dressed in green fitted gym trousers, a black hoodie and a blue baseball cap. Despite both attending the same birthday outing, Affleck and Garner weren’t spotted together during the celebration itself. The appearance also holds added significance given recent speculation about Affleck’s personal life. This marks the former couple’s first public outing together since rumours began swirling about a possible reunion between Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Affleck and Garner divorced in 2015 after ten years of marriage. Meanwhile, Affleck finalised his separation from Lopez in 2025, following roughly two years of marriage. Reports earlier this month suggested the two had been spending quality time together, including during a secretive getaway in Italy. An insider claimed Lopez feels genuinely thrilled to have reconnected emotionally with Affleck, despite their difficult split back in February last year. The source described Affleck as comfortable continuing to offer Lopez guidance and emotional support whenever she needs it. Neither Lopez nor Affleck has directly addressed the growing reunion speculation so far. For now, both the birthday outing with Garner and the reunion buzz with Lopez continue to draw significant attention from fans and entertainment outlets alike. With his personal life generating steady headlines in recent weeks, Affleck’s understated birthday celebration offered a rare, low-profile moment amid the ongoing speculation surrounding his relationships.

    Karachi oil spill: NRL pipeline bursts in DHA phas…

    ByJustpaste.in

    A crude oil pipeline operated by National Refinery Limited (NRL) burst in Karachi’s DHA Phase VI, triggering an emergency containment and repair operation, authorities said. The leak occurred around 10:30pm on Saturday on Khayaban-e-Sehar, Street 13. The pipeline carries crude oil from Keamari to Korangi and reportedly runs through a road median. The incident caused crude oil to spill onto the road, prompting authorities to restrict access to the affected area. NRL’s response team arrived around midnight and began containment and cleanup operations using specialised spill kits. More than 20 drums of leaked oil had been collected, while excavation work was launched to identify the exact point of the damaged pipeline and stop the leak completely. The Sindh Environmental Protection Agency (Sepa) directed authorities to safely remove contaminated soil, sand and sludge and dispose of the material according to environmental regulations. Fresh sand will reportedly be placed after remedial work is completed. Officials urged residents to stay away from the affected location and avoid smoking or using open flames near the spilled oil. They also warned residents against attempting cleanup themselves or washing oil into nearby drains. Authorities continue to monitor the situation closely.

    Public trust in Islamabad High Court has increased…

    ByJustpaste.in

      ISLAMABAD:Chief Justice of the Islamabad High Court (IHC) Justice Sarfraz Dogar has said that public confidence in the Islamabad High Court and district courts has increased significantly, as reflected by the sharp rise in the number of cases being filed before the courts. Addressing a ceremony held at the Islamabad High Court on the occasion of Independence Day, Justice Sarfraz Dogar said that the number of cases filed in the high court had increased nearly fivefold. He noted that there was a time when the daily filing rate remained below 50 cases, whereas the court is now receiving around 250 cases every day. According to the chief justice, the substantial increase in case filings indicates that people are increasingly turning to courts in the hope of obtaining relief and having their grievances addressed through the legal system. He said the growing number of cases was also an indication of the public’s confidence in the judiciary and its ability to provide justice. Justice Dogar acknowledged that the judiciary was facing several challenges, particularly a shortage of judges. Despite these difficulties, he said, courts were continuing to perform their responsibilities with dedication and commitment. He stressed that the primary responsibility of the judiciary was to ensure that every deserving person received justice in a fair, impartial and transparent manner. He further highlighted the importance of cooperation between judges and lawyers, describing the bench and the bar as two essential pillars of the judicial system. He said effective coordination between the two was necessary to improve the delivery of justice and ensure that citizens could obtain timely relief. Speaking about the country’s future, the chief justice said that the protection and stability of Pakistan was a collective responsibility. He urged citizens to keep the country away from conflict, disorder, extremism and politics based on hatred. He emphasized that Pakistan’s progress could only be achieved through sincerity, mutual respect, unity and a positive contribution from all segments of society. Justice Dogar also referred to what he described as Pakistan’s significant diplomatic and defence achievements over the past two years. He said the country had strengthened its position internationally through effective diplomatic efforts and had emerged as an important voice for peace in the international community. The chief justice particularly highlighted developments in defence cooperation among Muslim countries. He described efforts to bring Islamic countries together on a common platform for defence cooperation as a historic development. According to him, the initiative reflected a vision that had previously been associated with former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, who had advocated greater unity and cooperation among Muslim nations. Justice Sarfraz Dogar said Pakistan’s national institutions had an important role to play in strengthening the country and maintaining public confidence. He stressed that institutions must continue to work according to constitutional principles, the rule of law and national interests. He concluded by emphasizing the importance of tolerance, unity and respect in addressing differences. He said that Pakistan could move forward only when its institutions and citizens worked together to promote justice, stability, peace and national development.

    William ‘will never forgive’ Harry, say friends of the prince

    ByJustpaste.in

    Prince William remains entirely focused on his wife Kate Middleton and their children, according to friends of the Prince of Wales. They claim Harry has effectively become a closed chapter for him. Royal expert Phil Dampier told the Daily Mail that William and Harry managed to set aside their differences five years ago for the unveiling of their mother Princess Diana’s statue. However, he said the relationship between the brothers has since deteriorated significantly further. Dampier suggested that even honouring Diana’s memory might not be enough to bring the two together again. He pointed out that next year marks the 30th anniversary of Diana’s death, which would seem like a natural moment for the brothers to attempt reconciliation. Despite that symbolic opportunity, Dampier said he does not believe William is genuinely interested in pursuing it. According to him, William’s heart simply isn’t in making that effort right now. Citing people close to the Prince of Wales, Dampier said Harry has essentially become part of William’s past. He explained that William’s attention is now firmly focused on his wife Catherine and their three children, George, Charlotte and Louis. The royal expert went further, suggesting William may never fully forgive his brother. According to Dampier, this isn’t only about Harry stepping away from royal duties, but also about the personal details he later shared publicly. He specifically referenced Harry’s memoir “Spare,” his Netflix docuseries, and his joint interview with Oprah Winfrey. Dampier said these projects left a lasting impact on how William views his brother. He added that comments made during that period led to Catherine being unfairly labelled a racist by some critics. According to Dampier, that particular fallout is something William is unlikely to ever forget. The remarks add to a growing body of commentary suggesting the rift between the two brothers has hardened rather than eased over time. With next year’s anniversary approaching, royal watchers will likely continue speculating over whether any reconciliation attempt materialises, even as insiders suggest William currently has little appetite for one.

    ByJustpaste.in

    Sydney Sweeney and Scooter Braun’s romance continues going strong this summer. The couple was recently spotted enjoying a getaway on Spain’s Mallorca Island, according to a TMZ report published Saturday, August 15. The outlet reported that the “Euphoria” actress and her businessman boyfriend kicked off their weekend with a lively yacht escapade off the coast of Mallorca. The pair boarded a large superyacht on Friday, August 14, before jet-skiing across the Mediterranean. In photos shared by the outlet, the 28-year-old actress was seen in a light blue swimsuit, paired with a rash guard on top. Braun matched her look, wearing a light blue shirt, dark pants and a rash guard of his own. The latest sighting adds to a string of romantic outings the couple has shared throughout the summer. Just weeks earlier, they were spotted bungee jumping together in New Zealand. Before that trip, the two were seen holding hands while attending NBA Finals Game 4 in New York City. Sweeney also recently threw Braun a star-studded early birthday celebration, marking his 45th birthday in June. Sweeney and Braun began dating in September 2025, months after first meeting at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez’s high-profile wedding in Italy. The couple made their relationship Instagram-official in April 2026, sharing photos from their time together at the Stagecoach Music Festival. Since then, the pair has continued stepping out publicly at a steady pace, from sporting events to international getaways. Their latest yacht outing in Mallorca appears to be another chapter in what’s shaping up to be an active and increasingly public relationship. With summer still in full swing, fans can likely expect more updates on the couple’s travels as they continue making joint appearances across various destinations.

    Iqtidar Wali Khan launches strong criticism of PTI…

    ByJustpaste.in

      ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to the Prime Minister Iqtidar Wali Khan has launched a strong criticism of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), accusing members and supporters of the party of placing former prime minister Imran Khan above Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah and questioning their commitment to the country’s founding principles. Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Iqtidar Wali Khan alleged that some PTI supporters consider Imran Khan a leader greater than Quaid-e-Azam and do not accept the Two-Nation Theory. He questioned how figures such as Barrister Gohar, Ali Zafar, Umair Niazi and Asad Qaiser, whom he described as patriotic individuals, could remain associated with the party while it was allegedly pursuing such politics. The prime minister’s aide accused PTI activists of repeatedly becoming part of what he called anti-state movements and attempting to continue the events of May 9. He also criticised slogans associated with PTI supporters, including “No Khan, No Pakistan,” and alleged that they compared Imran Khan with Quaid-e-Azam while making fun of Allama Iqbal’s vision for the country. Iqtidar Wali further criticised the PTI’s previous government and levelled serious allegations regarding its administration. He claimed that during the party’s tenure in power, the second floor of the Prime Minister’s House had allegedly been turned into a dance floor, where he alleged that drinking and dancing gatherings were held. He also made allegations about the presence of practices related to black magic within the government setup. He further accused the PTI leadership of making statements that, according to him, undermined the country’s defence capabilities during periods of tension with India. He claimed that when a conflict or Indian attack arose, some PTI figures would say that there was not even enough fuel available for Pakistan’s tanks. The special assistant also criticised PTI supporters for holding protests on Independence Day. He questioned why anyone would choose the national day for political demonstrations, arguing that such actions could cause concern among Pakistan’s enemies rather than contribute to national unity. He appealed to political parties to carefully consider PTI’s political conduct before forming alliances or cooperating with its leadership. Referring to comments attributed to Maulana Naseem Shah about the difficulties faced by Pakistan decades after Allama Iqbal’s dream, he urged political forces to examine what he described as the party’s actions before extending political cooperation. Iqtidar Wali also targeted the PTI-led government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He claimed that the party had governed the province for around 15 years while repeatedly promoting slogans such as “Riyasat-e-Madina” and “Naya Pakistan.” He alleged that, despite these claims, individuals involved in drug trafficking, smuggling and the ice-drug trade had gained influence in the province. He further alleged that some people who previously lacked sufficient resources even for basic expenses had become owners of high-end hotels after gaining political influence. The remarks by Iqtidar Wali Khan come amid continued political tensions between the government and PTI. His statements reflect the sharp political divide between the two sides, with the government repeatedly accusing PTI of undermining state institutions, while PTI has consistently rejected such allegations and maintained that its political struggle is aimed at protecting democratic rights and securing political justice.

    Victoria, David Beckham return to Portofino, where love began

    ByJustpaste.in

    Victoria and David Beckham are revisiting cherished early memories from their romance. The couple returned to Portofino, nearly three decades after their relationship first began there. The Italian town holds special meaning for the pair, marking the site of their very first trip together back in 1997. Victoria shared two photos from the nostalgic getaway on Instagram, writing that they were back where it all started, alongside a message of love for her husband. David also shared his own tribute, posting a video and photo capturing moments from the trip. The clip showed Victoria stepping into the Hotel Splendido, the same luxury hotel where the couple stayed during their original 1997 visit. In his caption, David reflected on how the pair had come to Portofino 29 years earlier, at a time when no one yet knew they were dating. He noted they were now back at the very same spot. At the time of that first trip, both were quickly becoming major public figures, Victoria through the Spice Girls and David through his rise at Manchester United. Despite their growing fame, the couple had kept the relationship private during that early stage. Portofino later became so meaningful to the couple that Victoria named one of her fragrances after it, calling the scent “Portofino ’97” in tribute to that first getaway. Even after nearly 30 years together, the Beckhams remain openly affectionate, frequently sharing loving tributes to one another online. Their latest trip appears to be another example of that enduring bond. Victoria and David first began dating in 1997, after she attended one of his Manchester United matches. Their relationship quickly drew intense media attention, with the pair soon nicknamed “Posh and Becks.” They married on July 4, 1999, at Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland. The couple share four children together: Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz and Harper Seven Beckham. Their return to Portofino offers fans a rare, sentimental glimpse into the early chapter of one of entertainment’s most enduring celebrity relationships.

    Shane Richie, Christie Goddard finalise divorce after 19 years

    ByJustpaste.in

    Shane Richie and Christie Goddard have officially ended their marriage. A new report from The Sun confirms the “EastEnders” star and “The Last Dance” actress have parted ways after 19 years together. According to the report, their divorce was finalised on July 23. That came just days before the 62-year-old actor was arrested for drink-driving. An insider told the outlet that Goddard initiated the split after growing frustrated with Richie’s increasingly erratic behaviour. The source said she had reached her breaking point and made the decision herself, after discussing it with family members. According to the insider, Goddard had tolerated a great deal over the years and had been going through an especially difficult stretch recently. The source noted there wasn’t one specific incident that triggered the split, but rather a gradual accumulation of issues. The insider added that there is a sense Richie had been working hard and living intensely, and that his behaviour had spiralled somewhat as a result. Despite the split, the source revealed that Goddard hasn’t asked Richie to leave their £2 million family home. Her primary focus, according to the insider, remains their three children. Following Richie’s drink-driving arrest, the 47-year-old actress was reportedly shocked by the incident, even though the divorce had already been finalised by that point. She’s said to be hoping the arrest serves as a wake-up call for him. The source explained that Richie may have been pushed over the edge following the separation. However, they added that the incident ultimately confirmed Goddard’s concerns about his declining behaviour were justified. Goddard and Richie began dating around 2001 after meeting through mutual friends. They married on July 21, 2007, and share three children together, son Mackenzie Blue and daughters Lolita Bell and Romani-Skye Angel Shelley. The couple’s split marks the end of a relationship that spanned nearly two decades, closing out what had long been considered one of British entertainment’s more stable celebrity marriages.
