FEATURE - Für ihre Wachsfigur: Gillian Anderson steht Model für Madame Tussauds London
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
**VIDEO AVAILABLE. CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE.**
Madame Tussauds London has revealed that multi-award-winning actress Gillian Anderson OBE is set to be immortalised in wax for the very first time, with her figure to be unveiled later this year.
Behind-the-scenes footage shows the attraction’s expert artists working closely with the Sex Education and The Crown star, taking hundreds of precise measurements and reference photos to ensure every detail is captured to perfection.
The announcement comes as the 56-year-old actress enjoys a huge year in her career, with a string of major projects hitting screens in 2025. Anderson stars in Disney’s sci-fi blockbuster Tron: Ares, Channel 4’s gripping new drama Trespasses, and Netflix’s highly anticipated American Western The Abandons, due for release in December.
With a Golden Globe, an Emmy, and countless other accolades to her name, Anderson has firmly established herself as one of the most versatile performers of her generation. Off-screen, she’s just as admired for her advocacy on women’s rights, her philanthropic work, and her bold, fashion-forward style.
Speaking about the experience, Anderson said: "It’s been incredible to have up-close access to watch the expert Madame Tussauds London team at work — the level of precision and detail that goes into these works of art is extraordinary. I can’t wait to see the finished piece and share the final look with fans in the London attraction later this year."
Steve Blackburn, General Manager at Madame Tussauds London, added: "Gillian epitomises the modern-day icon — celebrated on stage, screen and red carpets worldwide, it was about time we created her first-ever figure! We’re honoured to be working with Gillian herself to capture an exact likeness, and our team has been hard at work ensuring her signature glamour is perfectly replicated. Fans are going to love seeing which iconic look we’ve chosen — together with *** Local Caption

FEATURE - Anlässlich seines 85. Geburtstags: Propstore versteigert John Lennon Memorabilien inklusive seiner ikonische Brille
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
WORDS BYLINE: Hayley Chamberlain
A pair of legendary tinted glasses worn by Beatles legend John Lennon will headline an upcoming music memorabilia auction expected to raise £3 million.
The iconic Windsor glasses, worn during his infamous "Lost Weekend" period in 1973-1974, are among the most recognisable symbols of the Beatle’s turbulent personal life and will be offered at auction on October 23-24, 2025, in a sale organised by Propstore.
Lennon was last seen wearing these glasses on March 12, 1974, during a wild night at the Troubadour Club in Los Angeles. That evening, Lennon and his close friend Harry Nilsson, both intoxicated, caused a scene at a Smothers Brothers performance, which eventually led to a scuffle. In the chaos, Lennon lost his spectacles, which were later retrieved by Tommy Smothers’ wife, cementing their place in rock ’n’ roll folklore.
The glasses, worn by Lennon throughout 1973 and 1974, have since become one of the most sought-after items of Beatles memorabilia. They were also seen on the cover of Lennon’s Mind Games single and in intimate photographs taken at home with his partner May Pang. With an exceptional provenance, the glasses are estimated to fetch between £150,000 and £300,000, offering fans and collectors a rare opportunity to own such a personal piece of Lennon’s legacy in what would have been his 85th year.
In addition to the glasses, another key highlight in the auction is Lennon’s 1966 artwork Shroud of Tourin. Created while filming How I Won the War in Spain, the piece is a humorous and irreverent parody of the famed Shroud of Turin, featuring a self-portrait of Lennon, two pairs of glasses, and the words “Love” and “Hate” scrawled across his knuckles. Signed by Lennon himself, the sketch is filled with references to Elvis, radio, and marijuana, capturing the Beatle’s witty social commentary. It is expected to sell for £25,000–£50,000.

Für den guten Zweck: Dua Lipa lässt ihren personalisierten Porsche GT3 RS versteigern
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
Dua Lipa’s personalised Porsche is being auctioned off for charity.
The unique vehicle, dubbed the “Dua Lipa Rennstall GT3 RS,” was unveiled during the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix weekend and is now being offered at auction by RM Sotheby’s, with all proceeds benefiting the singer’s own Sunny Hill Foundation.
The custom wrap, personally configured by the three-time Grammy Award winner, features a bold livery dominated by turquoise with swirling accents of red, gold and dark green. The design echoes the energy and vibrancy of Lipa’s stage productions and visual identity. She experienced the car first-hand around the streets of Monte Carlo and later visited the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup paddock during the Grand Prix weekend.
The GT3 RS was completed on 28 February 2024, originally finished in Arctic Grey with a black leather and Race-Tex interior accented by Guards Red stitching. Technically, it boasts Porsche’s coveted Weissach Package, which includes magnesium wheels painted in Satin Pyro Red and carbon fibre drivetrain components, trimming 22 kilograms from the kerb weight. Additional options include ceramic brakes with yellow callipers, a front-axle lift system, and red detailing on the tachometer and stopwatch.
Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six engine capable of revving to a thrilling 9,000 rpm.
Producing 525 PS and paired to Porsche’s 7-speed PDK gearbox, the GT3 RS accelerates from 0-62 mph in just 3.2 seconds, with a top speed of 184 mph. The car’s aerodynamic profile includes a massive rear wing with Formula 1-style drag reduction, an S-duct front air channel, and a rear diffuser—together generating 860 kg of downforce at 177 mph. The odometer recorded 5,264 km at the time of cataloguing, reflecting its use in light promotional activity.
What sets this particular GT3 RS apart, beyond its bespoke livery and performance pedigree, is its charitable purpose. All proceeds from the sale will *** Local Ca

A Fairytale Home In The Woods: Das Aussteigerpaar Kai und Ben lebt in ihrem umgebauten Truck in den Wäldern von British Columbia
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
WORDS BYLINE: Andrea Caknis
**EDITORS NOTE: We cannot use her surname**
If you go into the woods of British Columbia today you could be in for a big surprise.
You might just find parked up for the night a truly magical truck with a handcrafted house built on to its back.
The International 4800, a beast of a vehicle originally made for off-road utility work, has been reborn as a whimsical, wood-fired, off-grid sanctuary.
It took five years to create after it was bought in 2013 by a woman who made the project her labour of love.
“I called it The Ugly Truckling because I always loved the story of the ugly duckling,” says the creator of the fantasy mobile home who likes to be known simply as Kai.
“I was an awkward, weird kid. Honestly, I’m an awkward, weird adult. But like the duckling, the truck started off ugly, and it grew into something I think is secretly beautiful.”
From the outside, the house truck looks like something out of a Disney dream.
Cedar shake siding wraps the entire frame, salvaged century-old windows add soul and light, and a hand-built Dutch door with curved stained glass makes the entryway look like it belongs on a woodland fairy tale set.
“When I first moved in, it didn’t have electricity, running water, or plumbing. It was just a box on wheels. I slowly built everything around me,’ says Kai, who is in her thirties.
“Now, it has most modern amenities. It’s not finished, but it’s comfortable, and its mine.
“I made that door myself. I used old glass with air bubbles in it to mimic historic pub windows. I wanted it to feel alive, like a house that evolved over time, not just something an architect plonked down.”
Inside, every inch of the 200-square-foot interior is bursting with detail and character. There’s a round window that Kai also made by hand, after discovering that buying one would cost her a whopping £3 700 ($5 000).
“I thought, ‘No way,’ so I just taught myself how to build on *** Local Caption *

A Fairytale Home In The Woods: Das Aussteigerpaar Kai und Ben lebt in ihrem umgebauten Truck in den Wäldern von British Columbia
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
WORDS BYLINE: Andrea Caknis
**EDITORS NOTE: We cannot use her surname**
If you go into the woods of British Columbia today you could be in for a big surprise.
You might just find parked up for the night a truly magical truck with a handcrafted house built on to its back.
The International 4800, a beast of a vehicle originally made for off-road utility work, has been reborn as a whimsical, wood-fired, off-grid sanctuary.
It took five years to create after it was bought in 2013 by a woman who made the project her labour of love.
“I called it The Ugly Truckling because I always loved the story of the ugly duckling,” says the creator of the fantasy mobile home who likes to be known simply as Kai.
“I was an awkward, weird kid. Honestly, I’m an awkward, weird adult. But like the duckling, the truck started off ugly, and it grew into something I think is secretly beautiful.”
From the outside, the house truck looks like something out of a Disney dream.
Cedar shake siding wraps the entire frame, salvaged century-old windows add soul and light, and a hand-built Dutch door with curved stained glass makes the entryway look like it belongs on a woodland fairy tale set.
“When I first moved in, it didn’t have electricity, running water, or plumbing. It was just a box on wheels. I slowly built everything around me,’ says Kai, who is in her thirties.
“Now, it has most modern amenities. It’s not finished, but it’s comfortable, and its mine.
“I made that door myself. I used old glass with air bubbles in it to mimic historic pub windows. I wanted it to feel alive, like a house that evolved over time, not just something an architect plonked down.”
Inside, every inch of the 200-square-foot interior is bursting with detail and character. There’s a round window that Kai also made by hand, after discovering that buying one would cost her a whopping £3 700 ($5 000).

Snow Down Under: Tiere im Aussie Ark Zoo in Barrington Tops erleben ihren ersten Schnee
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
Animals have been seen exploring the first snowfall of the season at an Australian Zoo.
Blizzard-like weather swept through Aussie Ark in Barrington Tops, turning the conservation sanctuary into a breathtaking winter landscape.
While the snowfall wasn’t particularly deep, gusty winds and steady flurries combined to create dramatic, alpine-like conditions that persisted well into the evening. Among those unfazed by the cold were the sanctuary’s Tasmanian Devils, who seemed to thrive in the chill - a climate reminiscent of their native Tasmania.
"A dusting of snow like this is exactly what our Tasmanian Devils love, they come alive in these conditions,' said Dean Reid, Operations Manager at Aussie Ark. "Watching them explore and enjoy the snow is a special reminder of how well-adapted they are to this environment."
As the storm set in, Aussie Ark Rangers mobilised to safeguard the sanctuary’s more vulnerable inhabitants. Young, hand-raised residents like Rufous Bettong, Buttercup, and Parma Wallaby, Petey, were carefully relocated to indoor enclosures to stay warm and sheltered from the icy winds.
In preparation for nightfall, rangers moved swiftly throughout the property, ensuring all animals were fed and comfortable. Each enclosure was checked, with dry straw added as needed to provide extra insulation and warmth. The response was calm and efficient, reflecting the team’s deep experience managing wildlife in Australia’s often unpredictable conditions.
The snowfall comes on the heels of severe flooding that impacted the sanctuary just weeks earlier - a powerful reminder of the ongoing environmental challenges faced in the effort to protect the country’s most threatened species.

Reinliche Kerlchen: Schimpansen im Budongo Forest Reserve in Uganda benutzen Blättern als Toilettenpapier
SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
**VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE**
Scientists studying chimpanzees in Budongo Forest, Uganda, have observed them wiping their bum using leaves as a form of natural toilet paper.
The primates were observed indulging in the human-like behaviour by Dr. Elodie Freymann of the University of Oxford, first author of the article in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution and her team of researchers.
“We also documented hygiene behaviours, including the cleaning of genitals with leaves after mating and wiping the anus with leaves after defecation — practices that may help prevent infections,” she said.
That’s more than some humans manage!
The chimpanzees hygiene routine goes beyond keeping themselves clean after sex or going to the loo - as they also treat their own and others’ injuries.
Although chimpanzees elsewhere have been observed helping other community members with medical problems, the persistent presence of this behaviour in Budongo could suggest that medical care among chimpanzees is much more widespread than we realised, and not confined to care for close relatives.
Their routines could even shed light on how our ancestors first began treating wounds and using medicines.
“Our research helps illuminate the evolutionary roots of human medicine and healthcare systems,” said Dr Freymann. “By documenting how chimpanzees identify and utilize medicinal plants and provide care to others, we gain insight into the cognitive and social foundations of human healthcare behaviours.”
The scientists studied two communities of chimpanzees in the Budongo Forest — Sonso and Waibira. Like all chimpanzees, members of these communities are vulnerable to injuries, whether caused by fights, accidents, or snares set by humans. About 40% of all individuals in Sonso have been seen with snare injuries.

The 2025 puffin count is underway on the Farne Islands as conservationists from the National Trust aim to tot them up among 200,000 seabirds.
This year The National Trust marks its 100th year of caring for the internationally important sanctuary for the 200,000 seabirds that return each summer to breed.
This year’s count is vitally important given the islands’ three seasons of closure between 2020 until 2024’s count due to Covid-19 and then bird flu.
The 28 islands are a safe haven for the birds thanks to its location 1.5 miles off the coast of Northumberland. They provide the ideal habitats for 23 species of seabirds, as well as being an important stop-off point for a host of migratory birds from long eared owls to blue throats and ring ouzels.
During the winter it is also home to a significant colony of grey seals who return each year to pup.
Seabirds that make the annual migration to breed include cliff-nesting birds such as razorbills, guillemots and kittiwakes, ground nesting birds such as terns (Arctic, Common and Roseate) as well as the endangered puffins[3] who build burrows underground to lay their eggs and once hatched, to raise their ‘pufflings’.
Sophia Jackson, Area Ranger on the Farne Islands for the National Trust explains: “It appears that the increases in bird species aligns with the islands gaining increased environmental protections, firstly through designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in 1951 and as a Special Protected Area (SPA) in 1985.
“Significant milestones include numbers of breeding birds reaching 100,000 for the first time in 1987, with 200,000 individual seabirds returning recorded in 2005.

SONDERKONDITIONEN: Satzpreis!
The legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, which celebrated its spectacular debut at the International Motor Sports Show in New York in 1954, has been immortalised in Hot Wheels form.
Its "Gullwing" design was both beautiful and innovative – was the fastest car of its time, with a top speed of up to 250 km/h. Thanks to its lightweight construction with a space frame and iconic gullwing doors, the coupé quickly became a legend – on the road and on the racetrack.
In 1999, a jury of motoring journalists even voted it "Sports Car of the Century".
In collaboration with Mercedes-Benz, the toy manufacturer Mattel has now created a faithful replica on a scale of 1:12 – the model combines excellent design, precise finishing and accurate details. Furthermore, it includes metal parts and extra pieces for customization.
The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL is the first model in THE PREMIUM SERIES of the new Mattel Brick Shop™ Hot Wheels product line. The most authentic replica of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL on a scale of 1:12 consists of 1600 individual parts.
Designer Benoit Monterroso, in collaboration with Hot Wheels designer Craig Callum, succeeded in perfectly recreating the characteristic features of this extraordinary sports car: From the gullwing doors to the elegant bodywork and the striking front section with its imposing radiator grille.
Measuring 36 centimetres in length and 10 centimetres in height, the model features metal rear-view mirrors and a steering wheel with two spokes specially designed for Mercedes-Benz. The bonnet, boot and gullwing doors can be opened. A Hot Wheels "Signature Plate" made of metal can either be mounted on the vehicle floor or used as a key fob. Additional parts can be used to customise the model, including different wheels, headlights and radiator grille, an alternative seat, side skirts, and side exhaust pipes. A spare tyre in the boot adds a particularly realistic touch. The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL building block mo *

The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL is the first model in THE PREMIUM SERIES of the new Mattel Brick Shop™ Hot Wheels product line. The most authentic replica of the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL on a scale of 1:12 consists of 1600 individual parts.
Designer Benoit Monterroso, in collaboration with Hot Wheels designer Craig Callum, succeeded in perfectly recreating the characteristic features of this extraordinary sports car: From the gullwing doors to the elegant bodywork and the striking front section with its imposing radiator grille.
Measuring 36 centimetres in length and 10 centimetres in height, the model features metal rear-view mirrors and a steering wheel with two spokes specially designed for Mercedes-Benz. The bonnet, boot and gullwing doors can be opened. A Hot Wheels "Signature Plate" made of metal can either be mounted on the vehicle floor or used as a key fob. Additional parts can be used to customise the model, including different wheels, headlights and radiator grille, an alternative seat, side skirts, and side exhaust pipes. A spare tyre in the boot adds a particularly realistic touch. The Mercedes-Benz 300 SL building block mo *

The legendary Mercedes-Benz 300 SL, which celebrated its spectacular debut at the International Motor Sports Show in New York in 1954, has been immortalised in Hot Wheels form.
Its "Gullwing" design was both beautiful and innovative – was the fastest car of its time, with a top speed of up to 250 km/h. Thanks to its lightweight construction with a space frame and iconic gullwing doors, the coupé quickly became a legend – on the road and on the racetrack.

Aus Forschung und Wissenschaft: Italienische und Schweizer Wissenschaftler und Köche kreieren eine durch den EU RoboFood Finanzfond geförderte vollständig essbare KI Hochzeitstorte

**VIDEO AVAILABLE: CONTACT INFO@COVERMG.COM TO RECEIVE**
Scientists and chefs from Switzerland and Italy have built a robotic wedding cake you can eat in its entireity.
As part of the EU-funded RoboFood project, researchers from EPFL in Switzerland and Italy’s Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT) teamed up with pastry chefs and food scientists from the EHL hospitality school in Lausanne to create an incredible feat of robotics and gastronomy.
Their creation, the RoboCake, is being showcased at Expo 2025 in Osaka.
“Robotics and food are two separate worlds,” explains Professor Dario Floreano, head of the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems (LIS) at EPFL and coordinator of the RoboFood project. “However, merging them offers many advantages, particularly in terms of limiting electronic waste and food waste.” Scientists are also exploring applications in emergency nutrition and healthcare.
“Edible robots could be used to deliver food to endangered areas, to deliver medicines in innovative ways to people who have difficulty swallowing or to animals, or even to monitor food freshness using sensors that can be consumed.”
At the heart of the project is the RoboCake – a robotic wedding cake showcasing the potential of this emerging field.
It features two fully edible robotic teddy bears, developed by EPFL’s LIS.
“They are made from gelatin, syrup and colourants,” says Bokeon Kwak, a researcher at LIS. “They are animated by an internal pneumatic system: when air is injected through dedicated pathways, their heads and arms move.”
The bears, which move and dance on the cake, have a flavour described as soft, sweet pomegranate gummies.
IIT researchers led by Dr Mario Caironi have developed the world’s first edible rechargeable battery, crafted from vitamin B2, quercetin, activated carbon – and chocolate. “These batteries, safe for consumption, can be used to light the LED candles on the cake,” says Valerio Gall *** Local Caption ***

“Robotics and food are two separate worlds,” explains Professor Dario Floreano, head of the Laboratory of Intelligent Systems (LIS) at EPFL and coordinator of the RoboFood project. “However, merging them offers many advantages, particularly in terms of limiting electronic waste and food waste.” Scientists are also exploring applications in emergency nutrition and healthcare.
“Edible robots could be used to deliver food to endangered areas, to deliver medicines in innovative ways to people who have difficulty swallowing or to animals, or even to monitor food freshness using sensors that can be consumed.”
At the heart of the project is the RoboCake – a robotic wedding cake showcasing the potential of this emerging field.
It features two fully edible robotic teddy bears, developed by EPFL’s LIS.
“They are made from gelatin, syrup and colourants,” says Bokeon Kwak, a researcher at LIS. “They are animated by an internal pneumatic system: when air is injected through dedicated pathways, their heads and arms move.”
The bears, which move and dance on the cake, have a flavour described as soft, sweet pomegranate gummies.
IIT researchers led by Dr Mario Caironi have developed the world’s first edible rechargeable battery, crafted from vitamin B2, quercetin, activated carbon – and chocolate. “These batteries, safe for consumption, can be used to light the LED candles on the cake,” says Valerio Gall *** Local Caption ***
