Egyptian Judo Fighter Refuses to Shake Israeli Opponent's Hand After Olympic Loss

Egyptian judoka Islam El Shehaby was loudly booed on Friday for refusing to shake the hand of his Israeli opponent, Or Sasson, after a first-round loss inRio. 

Sasson, who is ranked 5th in the world, defeated El Shehaby with two throws with about 90 seconds remaining in the bout. 

After the loss, El Shehaby remained flat on his back for a beat before standing to take his place before Sasson, who extended his hand. El Shehaby then backed away, shaking his head, as Sasson moved forward in an attempt to shake hands. 

Judokas typically bow or shake hands as a sign of respect at the beginning and end of a match. El Shahaby's refusal to do so marks an extreme breach of Judo etiquette. 

"That is extremely rare in judo," the American coach Jimmy Pedro told the New York Times. "It is especially disrespectful considering it was a clean throw and a fair match. It was completely dishonorable and totally unsportsmanlike on the part of the Egyptian." 

The International Judo Federation told The Associated Press that the fact that the two nations even agreed to the fight was a sign of progress. Egypt was the first country in the Arab world to sign a peace treaty and normalize relations with Israel after decades of fighting. 

"This is already a big improvement that Arabic countries accept to (fight) Israel," IJF spokesman Nicolas Messner said in an email to the AP. 

He added that El Shahaby's "attitude will be reviewed after the games to see if any further action should be taken." 

In the lead-up to the match, El Shahaby came under pressure from nationalist commentators in Egypt to withdraw.

"My son watch out, don't be fooled, or fool yourself thinking you will play with the Israeli athlete to defeat him and make Egypt happy," Mataz Matar, a TV host in Al-Sharq Islamist-leaning network said Thursday. "Egypt will cry; Egypt will be sad and you will be seen as a traitor and a normalizer in the eyes of your people." 

Keith Urban: My Life Began When I Met Nicole Kidman

She's his other half! Keith Urbanopened up about his marriage toNicole Kidman in a new interview with CBS' Sunday Morning, which airs on Sunday, May 8.

The country superstar and Kidman, both 48, met in 2005 — and it was love at first sight. The Australian natives later married in June 2006 in Sydney.

"Meeting her and getting married [is when my life began]," Urban tells CBS' John Blackstone in the upcoming episode. "[It] wasn't life-changing, it was life-beginning. It was literally, like, 'OK, life starts.'"

The Big Little Lies actress opened up about tying the knot just one month after getting engaged, during an interview with Elle magazine in December 2014. "I'm spontaneous. I jump in," she said. "I kind of like getting married and then getting to know each other. I know that it sounds incredibly strange, but to me, it’s a more natural process."

Back in 2014, Kidman admitted that she would love to expand her family even more. "I hope every month that I'm pregnant, but I never am. I would be jumping for joy if it happens. I'm 47, it won't happen," she said on Australia's KIIS 1065 radio station that December. "I'm baby crazy. I love babies … kids, they are just extraordinary."

She added of Urban, laughing: "He might not be jumping for joy."

Angelina Jolie Has a Political 'Mentor' as She Prepares for Possible Government Role

A source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly that the actress, 40, has "struck up a close friendship" with British House of Lords member Baroness Arminka Helic.

The insider explains the Unbrokendirector, who moved to London with husband Brad Pitt and their six children in February, "is readying herself for what could be a full-time commitment with the British government."

Adds the source, "Arminka helps Angelina make decisions about her next political move. Angie considers her a mentor."

The political pals' relationship dates back to 2012 when Helic was an aide to British foreign secretary William Hague. The actress and Hague had partnered on an anti-sexual violence initiative that year. In September 2015, Jolie and Helic, 48, cowrote an article for The Times asking the world to stand in solidarity to help Syrian refugees.

Now, as Jolie is preparing for a greater role in the political realm, she is trusting her new council entirely — and including her in family events. The source adds that Helic even spends time with Jolie and Pitt’s six children

Madonna blasts critics of her sexy Met Gala gown as she insists outfit was a "political statement"

The 57-year-old singer said her eye-popping look was proof that women should be able to wear whatever they like, regardless of their age

Madonna blasted critics of her revealing Met Gala outfit as she insisted her bum-flashing gown was a "political statement".

The 57-year-old Material Girl singer flaunted her peachy rear in the floor-length frock during Monday night's star-packed bash.

After receiving a mixed response to the look, which also featured black stickers over her nipples, Madge launched into a rant on Twitter where slammed "ageist and sexist" critics.

She wrote: "My dress at the Met Ball was a political statement as well as a fashion statement.

"The fact that people actually believe a woman is not allowed to express her sexuality and be adventurous past a certain age is proof that we still live in an ageist and sexist society.

"I have never thought in a limited way and I'm not going to start. We cannot effect change unless we are willing to take risks."

Madge teamed her black Givenchy gown with a pair of sexy knee-high boots and an intricate jeweled headpiece.

She continued: "If you have a problem with the way I dress it is simply a reflection of your prejudice. I'm not afraid to pave the way for all the girls behind m️e.

"As Nina Simone once said, the definition of freedom is being fearless. I remain Unapologetic and a Rebel ️in this life and all the others. Join my fight for Gender Equality!"

On the night Madonna took the red carpet in her stride and proudly posed for snappers with her hands on her hips.

According to Vogue, the star's look was “inspired by the therapeutic kinesiology tape she wears for her fatigued muscles on tour.”
