Simon Gosejohann: Broken shin at Christmas! He shares first update from the hospital
Simon Gosejohann posts pictures of himself on the stretcher of an ambulance. A visit to the playground ended very painfully for the comedian. “You see one of the three holy kings on his sedan chair towards the nativity scene. With gold, incense and fentanyl,” he makes fun of himself. Gosejohann broke his shinbone, as photos he shared on Instagram later showed.
The bone has completely broken through, which was clearly visible in the x-ray picture posted. However, Simon has not yet revealed what actually happened. After the operation, Gosejohann reports again: “The operation was good,” he writes. Another x-ray shows huge screws now holding the shinbone together.

Despite their separation, which they made public in September, Deborra and Hugh are now releasing a joint statement and expressing their grief.
“We are devastated to hear the news of Bill’s death. His talent, his joy for life, the way he brought people together and his commitment to family were inspiring. Above all, we will miss his friendship,” they said , which the “Wolverine” star shares on his Instagram story. They also send love to Granger’s wife Natalie and their daughters Edie, Ines and Bunny and sign the statement with the words “Rest in Peace” and “Deb & Hugh”.

Oti Mabuse: Exuberant Christmas! New mom shares video from family celebration
Overjoyed premiere for Oti Mabuse: The 33-year-old professional dancer celebrated her first Christmas as a new mom. It wasn’t until December 25th that the sister of “Let’s Dance” juror Motsi Mabuse, 42, presented her most beautiful gift: her long-awaited baby. Now she gives an insight into the celebration of love with the whole family including the offspring. On Instagram she shares a video of the happy gathering, which is apparently taking place this year in her home in Great Britain and not, as usual, in her native South Africa.
“I’m always asked what Christmas looks like in our house,” she captioned the cheerful pictures, explaining: “It’s full of dancing, cooking, eating, family, friends, games and kids running around everywhere, laughing, play and have a good time.” A wonderful idea, which the private snapshots in the clip clearly demonstrate. Oti apparently decided to stay in her adopted home shortly after birth. A decision that was certainly associated with sadness, but one that is not regretted, as the dancer asserts: “This year was different than usual for so many reasons, because normally in South Africa we are by the pool in the warmth, but it doesn’t matter “Where you are, but on the company you keep. We had the best company and we love it so much.”

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith celebrate Christmas together
Will Smith, 55, and his wife Jada, 52, have not been a couple for several years, but they want to continue to stick to their life plan and maybe even somehow rediscover their feelings for each other. The two of them obviously had a lot of fun at Christmas – together! On Instagram, the actor lets his followers take part.
The funny photos show that the entire family celebrated together – all wearing crazy Christmas looks. For example, Willow, 23, wears a Christmas tree hat and a top with her father’s face, while her brother Jaden, 25, has opted for a chimney-shaped hat and combines it with a Norwegian sweater. Will and Jada also take the opportunity to take a couple photo, posing silly next to each other. They also wear funny outfits and seem to be having a lot of fun.

Anna-Maria Ferchichi spends the party in her sick bed
For Anna-Maria Ferchichi, 42, this year’s Christmas is a failure. Not only does she have to cancel the big planned banquet with 18 guests, but she even misses the gift giving with her children. “Unfortunately, I was only able to participate from a distance today,” she writes in her Instagram story about a video that shows her kids unpacking presents under the decorated Christmas tree. Nevertheless, she is touched by how “beautifully they managed it without me,” as she explains in a photo of the festively set table.
The 42-year-old can at least look forward to a visit from her husband Anis Ferchichi alias Bushido, 45. A shot shows him standing at her hospital bed with gifts in his hand. “My present was just in the hospital. I’ve been here since 9 a.m. this morning and I’ve really forgotten that today is the 24th. I’ve only just been able to watch the videos with Anis,” says Anna-Maria. Instead of home-made Christmas dinner, they had a few treats from McDonald’s. But her loved ones certainly left her some leftover turkey.
