Description:
I don’t think it’s far-fetched to assume that if you are making a comedy, and Will Ferrell asks to be in it, your answer would be an enthusiastic yes. Considering he is one of Lorne Michaels' top SNL alums and Ferrell’s movies are legendary, having him in your comedy would be incredible. Jen D'Angelo, the writer and producer of the new comedy Quiz Lady, got to live this out firsthand, because the actor sent her an email asking to be in the Hulu film. Not only was this one of the best messages she’d received in her career, but it also helped out the film as she told me during an interview for CinemaBlend.<br/><br/>Ferrell’s production company, Gloria Sanchez Productions, was working on Quiz Lady, a comedy about two sisters, played by Awkwafina and Sandra Oh, who decide to try out for a game show to pay off a debt. When it came to casting the other roles, Jen D'Angelo said the SNL alum put himself up for the part of Terry McTeer, the game show host, after being involved with the film from a producing standpoint for a while. On top of the Elf star being a top-tier comedian, he also has experience playing game show hosts because of his days in Studio 8H, which made him the perfect choice.

_meet-one-of-britain39s-youngest-caf-owners-who-customers-often-mistake-for-staff.webp "Meet one of Britain’s youngest business owners – who customers often mistake for staff rather than the boss.<br/><br/>Chloe Frost, 18, opened The Baking Suite - her very own café - in October 2023.<br/><br/>She initially considered starting an apprenticeship after finishing her A levels in June, but instead decided to follow her ‘dream’ – which had always been baking.<br/><br/>Now, Chloe has her own place in Bromham, Beds., and neither she, nor her customers, can quite believe it.<br/><br/>She said: “I’ve just always loved baking. After sixth form, I started making and selling celebration cakes on Instagram.<br/><br/>“So then I just thought, why not do this properly? Even though that still feels crazy.<br/><br/>“People hardly ever think it’s me that runs the place.<br/><br/>“Even today, with one of our regulars, he said, ‘Where’s the boss then?’ And I said, ‘I am the boss.’ <br/><br/>“People are always surprised but everyone is supportive when they realise.”<br/><br/>Chloe took over the site at the end of August after a previous café closed – and then spent just over a month re-decorating, re-fitting the kitchen, and making the place feel like hers.<br/><br/>She said: “I thought it was a good opportunity as there was already a small customer base. But I wanted to turn it into my own place too.”<br/><br/>The Baking Suite offers breakfast, lunch and an array of tasty sweet treats – all of which Chloe bakes from scratch by herself.<br/><br/>So far, her banana bread and rocky road have been consistent crowd pleasers – but she says classics like brownies, scones, and millionaire shortbread are always popular too.<br/><br/>Chloe currently has two staff members – chef Kimberley White, who has 18 years' experience, and barista Rosie Harrington, her brother Jonathan’s fiancée – but one day Chloe hopes to have a bigger team.<br/><br/>“I would love to open more premises at some point,” she said. “But it’s all about taking things one step at a time.”<br/><br/>Chloe says business has been going well so far – with the café already boasting plenty of regulars.<br/><br/>“We have a lot of customers who we see nearly every day,” she said. “Builders, dog-walkers, elderly people, those working from home. <br/><br/>“Of course, sometimes there’s a quiet day or two – but that’s to be expected in hospitality.”<br/><br/>Chloe says other local businesses have supported her too, with nearby Wooden Hill Coffee Company, whose coffee the café serves, offering all staff members free barista training.<br/><br/>She currently isn’t taking in a salary, but is making enough for rent, outgoings, staff salaries, and to pay back her dad – who financed the initial opening.<br/><br/>Chloe said: “I’m very lucky to have such a supportive family. My grandparents even keep a bunch of ingredients in their freezer for me.”<br/><br/>Chloe said she would encourage other young people to follow their dreams like she did – but only if they’re willing to put in the effort.<br/><br/>“I definitely would say to other young people who want their own business that they should follow their dreams and their passions,” she said.")
_girlfriend-turns-detective-and-accidentally-ruins-boyfriend39s-proposal-124-happily-tv.webp "A woman has shared the wholesome story of how her amateur detective work accidentally resulted in her cracking her boyfriend's surprise proposal. Not initially intending to ruin the surprise, 27-year-old Linda Yang from Connecticut put together clues from meal plans, her parent's actions, and issues with her apartment's security camera. Linda met her boyfriend, Tam, 29, when they were studying at the University of Connecticut in 2017, bonding over a love of Korean pop and eventually moving in together as a couple. Tam knew what Linda would like for her proposal, so he started working on a surprise and asked Linda’s family for support. On the day of the surprise, January 18, Linda said that she was too busy with work to notice that her boyfriend might have been acting a little strange. Having made it to her parents' restaurant later in the day, though, Linda, who had thought about Tam's behavior a little more, raised her suspicions when her parents, who said they were sure Tam's behavior was perfectly normal. Linda's sister defended Tam's actions, too, which made her more suspicious. But another major clue, Linda said, was that her family had planned to head home to her apartment for an early dinner, which would be a dish of longevity noodles – a food often used for celebrations. This caused the 27-year-old to check her Ring doorbell footage, which she noticed was offline and only raised more suspicions about what could happen in the apartment. Linda documented her detective work in an amusing TikTok post, ending with her returning to her apartment, where she prepared for dinner and discovered Tam ready to propose.")

Until then it is in the interests of all partners that details remain embargoed. <br/>“However, rest assured that the Council are working hard to close negotiations as quickly as practicable and look forward to providing you and the public with more details in the near future. <br/>“We cannot provide you with a more accurate timeline at the moment as we are beholden to various solicitors for the completion of legal drafting.”<br/>Speculation has mounted that the new hub could include some form of banking services for the seaside town, after the news that the last bank in Tenby HSBC would be closing, with a confirmation date now given as August.<br/>County councillor for the South ward Cllr Sam Skyrme-Blackhall announced over a year ago now that she was in ‘discussions’ that could lead to new banking services for Tenby.<br/>She said revealed at the time that talks were ‘ongoing’ - but the scheme she said was ‘backed by a major player in the market’ could see a new service open in Tenby that would also provide access to cash and deposit services for businesses and new banking services for the whole community. <br/>Since then however Tenby Post Office has stepped-up to fill the banking void for the town, offering a comprehensive list of vital business and personal banking services available to the community, seven-days-a-week.<br/>The De Valence cafe has been unoccupied since a Caribbean eatery left the premises last year.")
![Amy Winehouse fans are flocking to visit the star's favourite haunts following the release of a new biopic - despite mixed reviews.<br/><br/>The late singer is heavily associated with the London borough of Camden, which also served as a backdrop to many scenes in the recently released 'Back to Black'.<br/><br/>The film has come in for criticism, with some claiming it goes too easy on Winehouse's dad Mitch and her ex-husband, Blake Fielder-Civil.<br/><br/>Fans revealed on Wednesday they had travelled from all over to visit Camden - with one couple having journeyed more than 700 miles from Barcelona.<br/><br/>Scarlet Elias, 43, came from the Spanish city with her partner Albert to see a statue of the singer - but says she refuses to watch the film.<br/><br/>She said: “We are huge fans. I am always looking for places with Amy Winehouse. <br/><br/>“I haven’t seen it because of the way it shows her father. I don’t think he treated her right. The film shouldn’t have been made in this way. It is too focused on her relationship with Blake. <br/><br/>“She was a good singer; it shouldn’t be about all the drugs she did.”<br/><br/>The bronze statue, created by Scott Eaton, was unveiled in Stables Market in 2014, three years after the singer's death.<br/><br/>Ayoub Achkah, 24, works serving beer next to the statue and says Winehouse brings in lots of customers.<br/><br/>He said: “Everyone everyday poses with that statue. People are always asking us where the statue is even though it is right in front of them.<br/><br/>“It brings a lot of people here for sure. They come here for the statue and end up having a beer. <br/><br/>“Amy Winehouse is Camden. She brought it to where it is now. It is a small statue but it is the symbol of Camden.”<br/><br/>Similar beliefs were held by fans who had flocked to the street art mural of Winehouse, painted by artist JXC on the back of The Hawley Arms pub.<br/><br/>Two students from Brighton University were visiting the mural mere moments after watching the movie on an Amy Winehouse themed tour of Camden.<br/><br/>The pair had conflicting opinions on the films more controversial scenes, but were in agreement that lead actress Marisa Abela had done a great job. <br/><br/>Lewis McClean, 20, said: “We are big fans. We have just seen the movie. We feel very conflicted about it. <br/><br/>“The lady who played Amy was very good, she did her justice. That is something I was worried about going in. I really liked the movie. <br/><br/>“She knew that she had to go through a struggle to make good music and I am glad they portrayed that.
