Christmas came early

Christmas came early! Hailey Baldwin flashes her pert posterior in pink underwear as she poses in the bathtub for steamy Wonderland shoot

She's worked her way into the high-fashion world.

And Hailey Baldwin looked every inch the smoldering supermodel as she posed up a storm on the cover of Wonderland magazine's 17/18 Winter issue. 

The catwalk queen, 21, showed off her stunning figure in a series of sexy, retro-inspired images shot by famed photographer Christian Oita. 

Cheeky! Hailey Baldwin looked every inch the smoldering supermodel as she posed up a storm in pink underwear on the cover of Wonderland magazine's 17/18 Winter issue 

Styled by Kamran Rajput, the model's pert posterior was on full display as the starlet posed in hot pink underwear and a black and yellow stripe crop top. 

Hailey - the daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin and graphic designer Kennya Deodato - jumped into a bathtub wearing a hot pink and white striped Fendi bikini for her cover photo.

The blonde bombshell tied back her short hair and wore a thick sparkling necklace as silver star-shaped confetti glistened in the water.

Posing in front of a vintage mirror in another shot, Hailey wore a pair of bright red Tommy Hilfiger briefs with a thick white waistband.

The model peered over her shoulder to reveal heavy smokey eyeliner with her short blonde hair slicked back.

In another sultry photograph, Hailey perched on top of a massive bed wearing just white underwear and an over-sized ribbed sweater as she gazed into the golden light.  

The starlet's vintage-inspired look carried through as she sported a camouflaged long-sleeved crop top, which flashed a glimpse of underboob.

Hailey showed off her slender waistline with a pair of black joggers with three white stripes running down her legs as she carried a juice box. 

Various Polaroid images of the model were teamed together for an eclectic layout which included photographs of Los Angeles.

Hailey was recently spotted re-connecting with basketball player Jordan Clarkson, 25, after a whirlwind year in the spotlight.

She and supermodel best pal Bella Hadid, 21, were pictured partying with Jordan's team, the LA Lakers, after they took on the New York Knicks in the Big Apple earlier this week. 

In more recent months, Hailey was romantically linked to a number of other men, including Memphis Grizzlies player Chandler Parsons, model Cameron Dallas and Shawn Mendes, who she was seen holding hands with over Halloween. 

She also famously dated Justin Beiber last year, and opened up after their split about how tough it can be to date someone as high-profile as the Canadian star.

Speaking to Marie Claire for its May 'Fresh Faces 2016' issue, she said: 'I don't want attention out of dating somebody. 

'Texts started coming through, crazy phone calls... it's hard to date somebody in this industry.

'You have to have really thick skin and be very strong. You have to focus on the person and nothing else.'

For the event, the 45-year-old was joined by his pregnant girlfriend Lauren Hashian and their almost-2-year-old daughter Jasmine.

During the event, Johnson, who announced on Monday that he has his longtime love were expecting a second daughter, stopped by to chat with E! News about the momentous tribute, his recent baby news reveal and what it's like to be a famous father.

When asked about what he knows now as a dad compared to when he was younger (Johnson also has a 16-year-old daughter Simone Johnson from a previous marriage), the movie man said he has learned that he can have it all.

The Baywatch star said that he now understands, "It can all work together at the same time seamlessly in terms of your work and your career and your family. One doesn't have to be sacrificed for the other." The soon-to-be father-of-three added, "So many fall into that pitfall. I fell into the pitfall."

His Jumanji co-star Jack Black also hit up the ceremony, as did Hollywood Chamber of Commerce's Chairman of the Board Jeff Zarrinnam, Councilmember Mitch O’Farrell and Leron Gubler, the president of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce. The Chairman of Sony Entertainment’s Motion Pictures Group Tom Rothman also stopped by to support the star.

It's been a big week for the big-time movie mogul. In addition to his star ceremony and the baby reveal, Johnson and his girlfriend of 10 years also hit up the red carpet premiere of his new family friendly flick on Monday night.

The Central Intelligence actor also made sure to gush about his teenage daughter Simone, who was announced last month as the 2018 Golden Globe Ambassador. 

"We have such a high-quality relationship...she continues to teach me," said the doting dad during the event. "I am incredibly proud of her."

As for any tips for his daughter's duties at the 2018 Globes, the star said he's told the teen: "I want you to be present and in the moment. That's important and enjoy it because things happen so quickly. We're on this treadmill of life where there is no stop button."

He had some other wise words: "Just be present in the moment, have fun and also know you are carrying the torch for our industry that we are making our living in and you are also carrying the torch for our family."

Wise words from a wise man...

Morgan Spurlock Admits to Sexual Misconduct in Open Letter

Morgan Spurlock Admits to Sexual Misconduct in Open Letter: "I Am Part of the Problem"

Morgan Spurlock believes he is "part of the problem" as sexual misconduct accusations continue to surround Hollywood and beyond.

In a new Twitter post shared on Wednesday, the Hollywood director and producer reflected on recent headlines and admitted that he is "not some innocent bystander."

"I'm sure I'm not alone in this thought, but I can't blindly act as though I didn't somehow play a part in this, and if I'm going truly represent myself as someone who has built a career on finding the truth, then it's time for me to be truthful as well," Morgan explained. "I am part of the problem."

He continued, "Over my life, there have been many instances that parallel what we see everyday in the news. When I was in college, a girl who I hooked up with on a one night stand accused me of rape. Not outright. There were no charges or investigations, but she wrote about the instance in a short story writing class and called me by name. A female friend who was in the class told me about it afterwards. I was floored."

Morgan also shared an experience when he settled a sexual harassment allegation at his office.

"This was around 8 years ago, and it wasn't a gropy feely harassment. It was verbal, and it was just as bad," he wrote. "When she decided to quit, she came to me and said if I didn't pay her a settlement, she would tell everyone. Being who I was, it was the last thing I wanted, so of course, I paid. I paid for peace of mind. I paid for her silence and cooperation. Most of all, I paid so I could remain who I was."

Finally, Morgan admitted to being unfaithful to every wife and girlfriend he ever had. "Over the years, I would look each of them in the eye and proclaim my love and then have sex with other people behind their backs," he shared.

While the man behind Super Size Me, The Greatest Movie Ever Sold and Mansome doesn't know why he acted this way, he wonders if drinking, depression or sexual abuse contributed to the way he behaves as an adult.

Ultimately, Morgan is confident that he is part of the solution and admitting to his errors is a step in the right direction. He also revealed on Twitter that he is "seeking help." 

"We should all find the courage to admit we're at fault," he explained. "More than anything, I'm hopeful that I can start to rebuild the trust and the respect of those I love most. I'm not sure I deserve it, but I will work everyday to earn it back."

Morgan concluded, "I will do better. I will be better. I believe we all can. The only individual I have control over is me. So starting today, I'm going to be more honest with you and myself. I'm going to lay it all out in the open. Maybe that will be a start. Who knows. But I do know I've talked enough in my life ... I'm finally ready to listen."

Hollywood's hearts are with Keaton Jones.

Chris Evans, Millie Bobby Brown, Snoop Dogg and More Stars Shower Bullied Student Keaton Jones With Support

The student's story went viral on Friday after Jones' mom, Kimberly Jones, shared a video of her tearful son describing the bullying he endures at school. "Why do they bully? What's the point of it?" the youngster asked as he spoke into the camera, detailing how his classmates have poured milk on him, made fun of his appearance and called him "ugly."

"People that are different don't need to be criticized about it," the upset kid urged to anyone watching. "It's not their fault, but if you are made fun of, just don't let it bother you. They suck I guess."

Kimberly also explained that the video was taken after she picked up her song from school because he was afraid to go to lunch. "My kids are by no stretch perfect, & at home, he's as all boy as they come, but by all accounts he's good at school. Talk to your kids," she encouraged. "We all know how it feels to want to belong, but only a select few know how it really feels not to belong anywhere."

It seems Hollywood heard Jones' message loud and clear because famous faces from all corners of the industry have been showering Keaton with support. 

Virtually every celebrity from Kevin Jonas to Cardi B, Millie Bobby Brown to Snoop Dogg have been digitally comforting the star and standing behind his message. "Say lil Man U gotta friend in me for life hit me on dm so we can chop it up love is the only way to beat hate," the rapper encouraged. 

"I love this boy and I've never met him. YOU are an angel my friend, don't ever let others define who you are. You are brave and beautiful just as you are," Eva Longoria penned to the youngster on Instagram. "Bullies are insecure and ignorant. Words create emotional poison, don't listen to them so that poison doesn't ever get to your pure heart. I think you are a special human being that deserves nothing but happiness. And you will have it. Many blessings to you. And when you think you don't have the strength, you should know I'm sending you all my energy to help you through."

"As a father but really just as a human with a heart this breaks my heart makes me mad it's not ok," Orlando Bloom added. 

"This actually breaks my heart!" 15-year-old Romeo Beckham commented. "Why are people so mean?!? Bullies should be ashamed and shamed!! It's ok to be different."

ASSASSIN'S CREED ORIGINS

Assassin’s Creed Origins is a dark, multifaceted, deep dive into one of the series’ most alluring settings yet: ancient Egypt. As Bayek of Siwa, who is simultaneously compassionate, bold, and driven by revenge, you’re strung through a twisted story of pharaohs and corrupt leaders, of love gained and lost, and the plights of the lower class in a time when they were routinely worked to death and nobody batted an eye. 

It’s a tense journey that challenges your concepts of right and wrong, making you consider the morality of those you kill in the process – and, in a dramatic shift for the series, it’s all part of a full-on roleplaying game.

I spent 30 hours finishing the main campaign, which took me through just over half of the expansive and beautiful map that recreates ancient Egypt’s varied architecture and environments. It’s filled with areas of soft sand that are swept by dynamic sandstorms, ranges of treacherous and rocky mountains, catacombs of towering ancient structures built in the names of the gods, and the decaying shacks of the common people. 

Refreshingly, I discovered all of these things through an organic drive to explore, rather than through the series’ traditional structure of climbing to viewpoints to have them unveiled for you. There are plenty more secrets to uncover, and the delightful sense of discovery still hasn’t left me.

This is also the biggest and most connected map we’ve seen in an Assassin's Creed game. Even the seemingly-empty desert regions having their own treats, like the breathtaking view from the highest elevation point, with an impressive draw distance, whether you’re playing on Xbox One X or PlayStation 4. There are multiple cities, too, each with their own unique culture featuring different gods, politics, race relations, and prejudices to uncover. They’re distinct in architecture and environment, and that makes the significant time commitment one that’s consistently varied and surprising.

The density of it is made more impressive by being able to explore it in its entirety without any loading screens, with the exception of some story cutscenes, and if you choose to fast travel. If you want to get around quickly, a smart in-universe transit system lets you call your mount and press a button to follow the main road, or to head to a custom marker you’ve placed on the map – all fully automated, letting you take in the scenery around you.

While the main story is delightfully mystical and elaborate on its own, Origins also has some of the strongest actual mission design I’ve encountered in the entire 10-game series – and maybe in any open-world RPG. From collecting clues to solve mysteries, to chariot racing and gladiatorial arena fighting, to chasing down leads and assassinating high-level enemies hidden in fortresses, to Black Flag-style ship-to-ship combat, I was pleasantly surprised by how each of them felt like a self-contained short, well-paced story. Another highlight is the series of hidden temples, which – without spoiling anything – tie into Assassin’s Creed’s overarching sci-fi story, among other things. They are distinct from every other tomb you’ll find in ancient Egypt, and even include some throwbacks to the fan-favorite, timing-based platforming puzzles introduced way back in Assassin’s Creed 2. I rarely felt like I was doing too 

While there are quests that simply involve finding a hidden location or looting a building, Origins has largely done away with the cluttered mini-map full of useless chests. Instead, the vast majority of quests require multiple steps to complete and have multi-faceted, interesting characters with believable motives. Even when I really only began a quest for the XP, many of them ended up distinctly memorable. 

I’ll remember the man who was poisoning poor Egyptians so he, as a Greek, could acquire their land when they died, and I’ll remember the little girl who was selling fake Siwan artefacts for her mother, repeatedly assuring me they were real. My sole complaint is the NPCs’ overuse of ‘my family member died!’ and Bayek’s constant outrage at someone’s disrespect of the gods as the driving force of a quest.

Of course, being an Assassin’s Creed game, there’s a whole lot of parkour and climbing in Origins, and this is undoubtedly Ubisoft’s most seamlessly executed version of that well-rehearsed mechanic. Things that can be climbed are blended more organically into buildings and the act of climbing feels clean and almost as passive as running. True, that removes some of the challenge that existed in previous games where you’d have to figure out the best route up a building, but it takes a fair amount of frustration out the door with it. I never had a moment where Bayek failed to climb something I thought he should be able to, and that smoothness put Ezio, Altair, and the rest of the previous Assassins to shame.

The notably strong XP-based RPG progression elements are what make Origins addictive on a new level. Assassin’s Creed has let you unlock and upgrade abilities for a while now, but Origins does it in a way that enables multiple creative options that can cater to your playstyle, rather than just things that you’ll pick arbitrarily. If you want to approach missions stealthily, there are abilities that give you bonuses for stealth kills, ones that let you control arrows in the air after you’ve fired them for more precise headshots, and ones that let you visually predict the path an enemy will walk on.

 If subtlety isn’t your thing, there are options that make you a beast in melee combat, others that increase the amount of money you get from looting, and some that mostly just look cool (like activating slow-mo if you’re mid-air with your bow out). In the earlier stages, there are some plainly obvious picks, but I think most people will end up with very different sets of abilities by the end of the main story.

Johnny Hallyday: French rock star dies at 74

Johnny Hallyday: French rock star dies at 74

France's biggest rock star Johnny Hallyday has died from lung cancer, his wife says. He was 74.

The singer - real name Jean-Philippe Smet - sold about 100 million records and starred in a number of films.

He was made a Chevalier of the Legion D'Honneur by President Jacques Chirac in 1997.

The French have simply called him "Our Johnny". However, outside the Francophone zone, Hallyday was almost unknown.

In a statement, his wife Laeticia said: "Johnny Hallyday has left us," the AFP news agency reports.

"I write these words without believing them. But yet, it's true. My man is no longer with us.

"He left us tonight as he lived his whole life, with courage and dignity," she said.

Reacting to the news, French president Emmanuel Macron said "there is a little bit of Johnny in all of us".

"Across generations, he carved himself into the lives of French people," Mr Macron said. "He charmed them through the generosity you saw in his concerts: so epic, so intimate, in huge venues, in small spots."

Among those to pay tribute was Richie Sambora, the guitarist with US rock band Bon Jovi.

Influenced by Elvis Presley, Hallyday broke from France's classic "chanson" tradition in the 1950s, starting singing rock and roll in French.

"He introduced rock and roll to France. He's one of the few singers about whom people say that he's an animal on stage," journalist Philippe Le Corre once said.

"He's quite incredible. People of all ages like him," he added.

Despite his success at home, Hallyday failed to crack the lucrative American or any English-speaking market.

Nissan begins public robo-taxi

Nissan begins public robo-taxi trials next year

Carmaker Nissan plans to test self-driving taxis on Japanese roads from March next year.

The company is partnering with Japanese software company DeNA, which operates online services for the gaming, healthcare and automotive industries.

It will adapt a Nissan Leaf electric car, which passengers will summon using an app.

Nissan joins a growing band of carmakers trialling self-drive cars, including General Motors and Volvo.

The free trials will be held over a two-week period in March in Yokohama.

The Easy Ride system could be launched in Japan in the early 2020s.

"With 'more freedom of mobility' as its concept, Easy Ride is envisioned as a service for anyone who wants to travel freely to their destination of choice in a robo-vehicle," Nissan said in a statement.

"The goal is to allow customers to use a dedicated mobile app to complete the whole process, from setting destinations and summoning vehicles to paying the fare."

Tokyo Olympics

During tests, there will be a staff member in the driver's seat to comply with Japanese law.

Customers, who can apply from now until 15 January, can select local destinations and sightseeing routes.

Meanwhile, Japanese robotics maker ZMP is working with a Tokyo taxi operator to develop self-driving taxis for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Elsewhere, Uber is working on its own self-drive service and in November struck a deal with Volvo to buy up to 24,000 cars.

And Waymo, owned by Google parent company Alphabet, is planning to test autonomous cars with no human safety driver.

Nine Arch Bridge

Nine Arch Bridge

Built at 3100m above sea level, among the craggy peaks of the Central Highlands; the Nine Arches forms a viaduct between the Demodara and Ella Railway stations. Built entirely out of brick, rock and cement; without a single piece of steel; the bridge has stood solid from 1921, its time of creation. 

According to history, the bridge was built by the locals using such materials; when the construction came to a standstill from the lack of steel caused by World War I. But, in addition to this history; lore abounds the creation of the bridge.

The most famous story speaks of a man named P. K. Appuhami, who lived in the Kappatipola area in Melimada. Born in 1870, Appuhami was a famed traditional drummer and devil dancer (a ritual dance form). 

One day, while returning home gloomily as he lost a competition, Appuhami was seen by a British official. The man was extremely frightened by the devilish apparition (Appuhami was still in his dance costume) at the beginning; but soon became quite friendly. Learning that the strange foreigner was in his area to construct a railway; Appuhami assisted by supplying him with labour from the local villages.

But things did not go smoothly with the railway construction. They found that they were unable to bridge a large gap between two hills; as there was a quagmire in the valley in between. 

It was not possible to create firm anchoring, due to the marshy ground. On learning this, Appuhami requested to take over the bridge project. While he was rejected initially, they agreed later; as he had gained their trust with his assistance and friendship. As the story goes, Appuhami started working on the bridge in 1913. 

He solved the issue of the unstable ground by toppling giant rocks into the space; until a firm bed of rocks was formed. He then created the bridge’s brick columns over this bed and continued with the construction of the bridge.

The methods of constructions used by Appuhami proved to be so intuitive and cost effective; that he finished the entire project, which was intended to continue for many years, within a single year at a fraction of the original cost planned. 

The British officials were so shocked that the ‘savages’ had finished such a huge project so easily; that they refused to believe its structural integrity. At this point Appuhami is said to have sworn to the strength of the structure by saying he would prove it by lying under the bridge; when the railway line was used for the first time. Once the track was completed, he kept to his promise; awing the officials with his achievement.

Most interestingly, the story also states that Appuhami was then offered payment in the form of the balance costs that he saved with his inexpensive construction methods. 

The folklore speaks of the happy day when Appuhami returned to his village with four carts of silver coins. He then proceeded to spend it on meals for his village and the neighboring village for an entire two days, while also giving each villager a silver coin.

Regardless of the truth of the stories; the fact remains that the Nine Arches Bridge, with its nine graceful arches and solid construction, is one of the proofs of Sri Lanka‘s skills in
