CELEBRITY NEWS:

Millie Bobby Brown sat down with W Magazine to discuss her rising star status, and revealed that one of her famous pals is none other than Drake.

Talk about surprising friendship!

The pair first met when the 14-year-old actress attended the 31-year-old artist’s Brisbane concert in Nov. 2017 and met him backstage.

Of course, the duo had to share the moment with their millions of Instagram followers. Drake posted a shot with Millie which he captioned, “Hawkins Very Own.” Meanwhile, Millie’s post was a sweet, smiling picture where she wrote, “This guy.”

As Millie explained to the magazine, “He invited me to his concert. And now we talk all the time. I ask his advice.”

It’s unclear what she asks the rapper for advice on, but we’re guessing it has something to do with her quick rise to fame.

For instance, Millie told the publication that she had no idea her Stranger Things role would completely transform her life.

She touched on her instant celebrity, saying,”We did the show, and I went back home to England. I thought,’ Okay, it’s a little show. What’s next?’ And then we came to America for the premiere. Three days later, my whole life changed.”

Even though her followers count has risen to over 17 million and she is Emmy-nominated, the English actress says she’s still the same Millie.

“I don’t think I’ve changed,” she said. “I’m not thinking, Oh, I know everything now. I still get nervous. I still get anxious.”

Other than having a few well-known friends, it seems as though Millie is just like any other teen!

 FOOTBALL UPDATES: MARTIAL WANTS MOVE AWAY FROM UNITED

Jose Mourinho is open to selling Anthony Martial if Manchester United receive an appropriate offer this summer.

Martial’s agent Philippe Lamboley stressed last month the Frenchman wants to leave the club but Mourinho has had to start Martial in United’s pre-season friendlies against Club America and San Jose Earthquakes in the absence of World Cup participants Romelu Lukaku and Marcus Rashford.

Despite the United hierarchy’s preference to keep a forward they invested up to £58million in back in 2015, Mourinho has no interest in retaining players who openly want to leave and has previously clarified he would sanction sales if United receive appropriate offers from suitable clubs. Bayern Munich have shown interest in Martial and United would have 22 days after the Premier League window shuts to offload the France international to an overseas team.

The Premier League transfer window closes on August 9 and the MEN previously reported United rebuffed an enquiry from Tottenham for Martial in June. United will trigger the one-year extension in Martial’s contract to tie him to Old Trafford until 2020 if they keep him beyond the Fifa transfer deadline of August 31.

Mourinho rebuked Lamboley in December 2016 for talking up a possible mid-season loan move to Sevilla and United will not allow an agent to dictate their transfer business. Mourinho’s openness to jettisoning Martial could hasten a move for a forward amid interest in Willian and Gareth Bale.

The Martial situation is complicated by United’s struggles to sign an attacker in the transfer window. Should they fail to reinforce their frontline before August 9, a Martial sale to a foreign club would leave United under-resourced up front. Rashford, Lukaku, Jesse Lingard, Juan Mata and Alexis Sanchez are United’s only other senior attackers.

HARRY MAGUIRE WANTED AT LEICESTER BY CLAUDE PUEL AMID MANCHESTER UNITED LINKS

Leicester boss Claude Puel says Harry Maguire must remain at the King Power Stadium, amid reported interest from Manchester United.

LEICESTER STAR HARRY MAGUIRE

United boss Jose Mourinho is understood to be keen on bolstering his defensive options and has been linked with making a bid for Maguire, with the Foxes heard to want as much as £50m.

Maguire played a key role in England’s most successful World Cup campaign in 28 years in Russia, leading to former team-mate Riyad Mahrez saying he deserves to play at a higher level.

However, Mahrez’s former boss Puel is in disagreement, saying: “It is important for Maguire to continue for Leicester.

Maguire’s team-mate Demarai Gray anticipates the England international will be kicking off the Premier League season alongside him – they play Manchester United on August 10 IN THE Premier League.

In masindi

Residents from six villages on Monday stormed St James Church of Uganda Parish in Katasenywa Cell, Nyangahya Division in Masindi Municipality protesting Masindi-Kitara Diocese estates department’s programme to open land boundaries there.

Speaking to journalists at the scene, Alfred Nyakoojo, one of the affected residents of Byerima cell claimed that the Church of the Province of Uganda allegedly wants to grab their ancestral land.

Other residents vowed not to leave the land in contention saying it was occupied by their parents. They demanded that the church must adduce documented evidence showing who sold that land to the church.

The councillor for Civic Ward in Central Division, Goodman Farouk who is among the affected residents in Byerima cell, appealed to the church to be peaceful and also called upon the government to intervene before the matter goes out of proportion.

However, Rev Elizabeth Nzenze of St James COU denied allegations that the church wrote to the residents informing them of its plans to evict them from the land.

The diocesan estate officer Rev Can Newton Byaruhanga, insisted that the chunk of land belongs to Masindi-Kitara diocese adding that it possesses a free hold land title that was acquired between 1936 and 1940.

 Byaruhanga added that the aim of the church is not to evict people from the land but to open the boundaries for easy identification.

The affected villages occupying the more than 500 hectares of the land in contention include Kiryanga 2, Byerima, Katasenywa, KitalebaRukondwa and Rwabatini.

Dr Besigye Kifeefe asked the voters to elect Plan Virginia Mugyenyi FDC for woman MP Sheema municipality if they still love their country.

He said that it annoys him that Museveni has sold the country’s resources which he found there as if Uganda is his farm. He added that Museveni has sold part of L.victoria ,Mabira forest, electricity, and that he hears that even Entebbe airport belongs to Hon Sam Kuteesa.

Besigye noted that the voters should not think it’s only Elioda who is selfish and unsatisfied but also his father thus called them to join the struggle so that they liberate this country.

He added that he feels so disappointed to see that what took them into bush in 1980 is what NRM government is fully supporting now.
The Lord Mayor Erias Lukwago asked the Sheema municipality voters never to again support what he termed as a confused government saying that they will also be confused if they continue supporting it.
“To know that this government of Mr. Museveni isn’t only confused but also rotten, do you remember the war between General Kayihura and General Tumukunde?, but do you know where Gen Kayihura is right now?.
When I saw Mr Rwakasiisi who was imprisoned for 25 years because of killing innocent people that he is also campaigning for one of the candidates, it’s when I confirmed that Virginia Mugyenyi Plan is a winner with no doubt”  Lukwago said

Hon Mubbarack Munyagwa said that before he came to campaign, he first checked in the parliamentary answered book to prove the performance of Hon DrElioda Tumwesigye .
“Nobody should again deceive you that your Hon Dr Elioda doesn’t speak in parliament, when I checked I found that he only speak two words whenever it happens to talk ‘yes’, yes madam speaker ‘ those are only the words I found there since you voted him ” Munyagwa said
