10 News First – Disclaimer

A trailer for one of the year’s most anticipated movies dropped this week and gave us our first look at Barbie Land, while Jacinda Ardern gave her final speech in New Zealand’s Parliament.

Barbie trailer drops

A trailer for Greta Gerwig’s Barbie finally dropped this week, giving us our first look at Barbie Land.

Margot Robbie stars as Barbie and Ryan Gosling is “just Ken”. Even Will Ferrell is starring in the movie that has everyone talking. It will be coming out later this year.

Fake QAnon shaman falls from bike

Someone dressed up as the infamous QAnon shaman and took to the streets of New York on a bike this week.

The fake Q-shaman, a symbol associated with the January 6 insurrection and of course, Donald Trump, had a spectacular fall, thanks to a skateboard.

Cat trick shot

Some cats showed off their impressive badminton skills in a viral video.

The cats are seen hitting around a shuttlecock and one even deflects it with its tail.

But a mishap leads to one cat flying into a rubbish bin. Regardless, some are saying the video might contain the “greatest trick shot ever”.

Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix film in New York

Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix have been spotted together on the set of Joker: Folie à Deux.

The film is set to be released next year and in it, Gaga plays Harley Quinn to Phoenix’s Joker.

Cat interrupts Ramadan prayer

A cat, seemingly desperate for some affection, jumped up on the shoulders of an Imam, during a live broadcast of Ramadan prayers in Algeria.

Jacinda Ardern gives final speech

New Zealand’s former prime minister gave her final speech in Parliament this week.

Jacinda Ardern touched on being at the helm during multiple crises and how she hopes she demonstrated that leaders can be kind, anxious and sensitive.

NYC lightning

New York City’s sky lit up with an impressive lightning display over the weekend.

A photographer managed to capture the moment the lightning hit the One World Trade Centre and left.

Laundromat decimated by fire

A video from inside a laundromat shows why you always need to check your pockets before doing your washing.

Child’s prank destroys couch

A video of a child hitting their mother with a toy gun from across the room, while she holds a tray of paint, has left some feeling glad they don’t have children, while others were sceptical.

The mum falls onto the couch in the video and paint splatters everywhere, but some think the video was merely a skit, given her dramatic reaction.

Real or fake, it’s a good reminder to cover furniture when painting.

Platypus rescued by hikers

In a very sweet video, a trapped platypus was taken safely back to water by hikers passing by.

Although cute, the platypus is one of the few mammals alive today that produces venom, so perhaps don’t try this unless you know what you’re doing.
