Many communities devastated by Hurricane Harvey's floodwaters just two years ago find themselves underwater again. Houston fire officials say they responded to nearly 2,000 emergency incidents.

| The RuPaul's Drag Race UK Trailer Promises We're All In For A Fabulous Series
|
 The first trailer for the British series of RuPaul's Drag Race has been unveiled, and should prove to be a breath of fresh air to fans of the long-running reality show concerned about how the UK version would compare. All 10 queens from the new series appear in the new (expensive-looking) trailer, which begins by paying homage to classic British sitcoms, complete with cheesy jokes, a vintage-looking living room set and even a low-quality laugh track. Drag Race being Drag Race, it doesn't take long for things to get going properly, though, with the arrival of a Donna Summer soundtrack, some ...

| Remember Mark Wahlberg's Infamous Appearance On The Graham Norton Show? Well, Graham Would Rather Forget It
|
 There have been many memorable moments on The Graham Norton Show over the years. Like when Lady Gaga forged an unlikely bond with June "Dot Cotton" Brown.

Highlights included the artist formerly known as Marky Mark sitting on Graham's lap and pinching his nipples, fellow guest Sarah Silverman looking visibly irked as the actor kept cutting her off, and Michael Fassbender trying not to blush as Mark ...

|
 The Brexit referendum in 2016 marked a distinct moment in Britain's multicultural history. The Leave campaigns supercharged emotions around immigration and integration that had been building over the preceding years. Playing on xenophobia and fear, they deployed provocative images of the 2015 European refugee crisis and fed off anti-Muslim prejudice by raising as a spectre the idea of large scale immigration from Turkey.

|
 CHRISTOPHER Eccleston may have got his big break in the 2005 revival of Doctor Who, but he believes a woman should have got the part instead of him – and that "white males" should step aside in the future. The actor, 55, said he would have preferred Billie Piper – who played companion Rose Tyler – to be the Ninth Doctor instead of him. Christopher Eccleston with Billie Piper for the reboot of Doctor Who in 2005BBC Speaking at Rose City Comic Con in Portland, Oregon, the former star said: "It's ridiculous we weren't thinking of a female Doctor at that time. In 2004, in me they picked yet another white skinny male to be the Doctor. "If somebody had said in 2004 it should have been a woman, there'd have been outrage. But only 14 years later it's acceptable. "I think it's time for white middle-aged males to step aside. And if Billie Piper ever wants to play the Doctor I'll [be her companion]. Who wouldn't? "I think that's what they should have done, I was saying backstage. Rose should have moved up to become ...
