Gemma Collins appeared to take a swipe at ex James 'Arg' Argent on Wednesday - by declaring she has never been in love with anyone she worked with. The pair met and worked with each other on hit TV show TOWIE, going on to have a high profile on-off romance, which came to an unceremonious end earlier this year. And during her new Gemma Collins Love Lounge podcast on the BBC, where the topic of discussion was love in the workplace on Wednesday, the 39-year-old TV personality was quite forthcoming on the matter.

Gemma's words come amid reports she has given a 'deeply personal' interview on Piers Morgan's Life Stories. The former TOWIE star is said to have spent 'more than six hours' filming the show on Friday in an episode which will air later in the year. No love lost: Gemma said on Wednesday, 'I've never fallen in love with anyone in the workplace - I couldn't think of nothing worse. I went to work to work. I didn't go to work for love' She will reportedly discuss her 'toxic' on-off relationship with Arg on the show and some of her previous exes. Gemma and James split for good in July after she posted break-up texts on her Instagram account in which he called her a 'hippo' and a 'fat f**k'. The former couple had split in 2019 after Arg, who admitted he is a cocaine addict and overdosed twice last year, refused rehab yet they [http://www.glamour.de/content/search/?SearchText=reconciled reconciled] weeks later. They got back together late last year after jetting off on holiday to Dubai in a final bid to resolve their issues. Gemma originally dumped Arg after he refused rehab and said their relationship was over until he beat his addiction once and for all. Split: Gemma and James split for good in July after she posted break-up texts on her Instagram account in which he called her a 'hippo' and a 'fat f**k'. Pictured in 2018 But less than three weeks later, MailOnline exclusively revealed the reality TV pair were spotted holding hands and kissing on a romantic trip to the £250-a-night Palazzo Versace Hotel. The duo briefly dated in 2012, before embarking on a tumultuous love story, which of it documented on TOWIE, from December 2017. Meanwhile, it was recently revealed that Gemma has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by two YouTube pranksters, who have started up The Romford Research Institute For Peace to make themselves qualify to have the power to nominate. Company directors Josh Pieters and Archie Manners insist the reality personality has spent much of her life dedicated to finding peace, and even referenced her relationship with James Argent as a point of her peace-finding ability. The YouTube duo have hit headlines previously with such stunts as interviewing Carole Baskin and tricking Love Island's Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury into believing James Corden is interviewing them for America's The Late Late Show. One of the criteria to have the ability to nominate an individual is to be a 'director [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour trương gia giới] of a peace research institute'.

If you look at what peace really means, take for example her on-off relationship with James Argent - no one died....

Drama: The former couple had split in 2019 after Arg, who admitted he is a cocaine addict and overdosed twice last year, refused rehab yet they reconciled weeks later. Pictured in 2019 Josh explained: 'We believe in the GC effect, which is a peer reviewed hypothesis that if Gemma spent a long weekend in North Korea she could use the skills as seen in Towie to attempt to bring peace to the region.' Archie added: 'She is arguably more peaceful than Donald Trump. And it's the same with Kanye West. His nomination has been successful and he will be considered.'

Former world number 23 Dzumhur and [http://browse.deviantart.com/?qh=&section=&global=1&q=Popovic Popovic] said they were denied a second test by French Open organisers, the French tennis federation (FFT). The FFT, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] however, said it was following a protocol that had been signed by the players. "It's a scandal and a huge frustration," Popovic told L'Equipe on Tuesday. "I'm sure we're going to win in court. They're going to pay a lot for this. It makes me crazy." Six players have already been denied a place in the qualification phase after positive coronavirus tests. "We have drawn up our protocol in consultation with the government services. It was signed by the players and their team to obtain their accreditation. We value it. These are our rules," the FFT said in a statement to Reuters. The French Open will be held from Sept. 27-Oct. 11 after being moved from its usual late May-June slot. The FFT plans to allow 5,000 spectators to attend each day following a recent spike in COVID-19 cases in France. It previously said the claycourt major would permit a maximum of 11,500 fans per day.

NBA Boss Adam Silver Eyes January Start To Next Season

NBA Commissioner Adam Silver thinks the league is likely headed for a January start in 2021, but that [https://www.gov.uk/search?q=pandemic-delayed%20season pandemic-delayed season] could drag into the following summer and prevent league players from competing in the Tokyo Olympics. Similarly, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said on Saturday that he envisioned his league starting the next campaign in late December or January, but that will not have any impact on the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. Silver, a g[# 'I continue to believe that we're going to be better off getting into January,' Silver said in a discussion with Bob Costas during part of the 'Citizen by CNN' event. 'The goal for us next season is to play a standard season ... an 82-game season and playoffs. And further, the goal would be to play games in home arenas in front of fans, but there's still a lot that we need to learn.' The NBA hasn't played in arenas filled with fans since March 11, when the league suspended its season because of the coronavirus pandemic. A very small number of fans - maybe 30 or 40 per game - have been allowed to watch inside the NBA's restart bubble at Walt Disney World in recent weeks, all of them family members or close friends of players. Those guests all are tested daily for coronavirus, like everyone else in the bubble.

That could greatly affect [http://www.renewableenergyworld.com/_search?q=Olympic%20plans Olympic plans]. The rescheduled Tokyo Olympics are set to begin July 23 and run through August 8 - if those games are held. Final qualifying rounds for the 24 teams still bidding for the four remaining spots in the 12-team men's basketball field would begin in June.

'And, obviously, there are many NBA players who participate in the Olympics for other countries. That's something we're going to have to work through.'

The U.S. roster for the Tokyo Olympics will be 12 players; there were another 34 players competing for other countries at the Rio Olympics as well. Several NBA coaches are also planning to coach in the Tokyo Olympics or in qualifying: San Antonio's Gregg Popovich will coach USA Basketball and be assisted by Golden State's Steve Kerr and Atlanta's Lloyd Pierce; Golden State associate head coach Mike Brown is set to coach Nigeria; Toronto assistant Sergio Scariolo will coach Spain and Raptors head coach Nick Nurse will lead Canada in qualifying and then the Olympics should it qualify. 'These are highly unique and unusual circumstances,' Silver said. 'And I think just as it is for the Olympic movement, it is for us as well. And we're just going to have to sort of find a way to meld and mesh those two competing considerations.' The US, Nigeria, Australia, Spain, Argentina, Iran, France and host Japan have qualified for the Olympic men's basketball field already.

On Saturday, NHL commissioner Gary Bettman (pictured) raised the possibility of a start sometime later in December or even January, though the plan remains for each team to play 82 games and the league hold a full playoffs The NHL is facing similar issues moving from one pandemic-delayed season to the next, but isn't constrained by any Olympic consideration. On Saturday, Bettman raised the possibility of a start sometime later in December or even January, though the plan remains for each team to play 82 games and the league hold a full playoffs. A general overview is seen of Jamie Benn of the Dallas Stars and Brayden Point of the Tampa Bay Lightning taking a face-off in the Stars zone during the second period of Game Two of the NHL Stanley Cup Final between the Dallas Stars and the Tampa Bay Lightning at Rogers Place on Monday Much like its plan to resume this season, the league hopes to adapt to the pandemic circumstances in the US, Canada and worldwide and is open to adjusting on the fly as the situation evolves. Acknowledging there are factors like the US-Canada border and local jurisdictions out of his control that could affect travel and attendance, Bettman indicated Saturday he wouldn't be surprised if the season begins later than scheduled but would like to avoid playing deep into next summer. 'If there's an option to consider, believe me, we're considering it,' Bettman said during his annual pre-Stanley Cup Final news conference. 'It's conceivable that we start without fans, that we move to socially distant fans at some point and by some point in time maybe our buildings are open.' There's no way to know yet what a 2020-21 NHL season will look like, and the league is watching what's going on in European hockey and the other North American professional sports leagues and college athletics to see what's possible. 'Our goal is to get back to as great a sense of normalcy as possible under whatever circumstances are presented,' Bettman said. One of the circumstances at play is the closure of the U.S.-Canada border to nonessential travel, which has more of an effect on the NHL than other pro sports leagues because it has seven teams in Canada and 24 in the U.S. until Seattle becomes the 32nd franchise in 2021. A general view is seen of the ice surface before the start of the third period of Game Two of the NHL Stanley Cup Final between the Stars and the Lightning at Rogers Place on Monday Canada did not allow Major League Baseball's Blue Jays to play in Toronto this season because of cross-border travel by them and other teams. The Canadian government approved the NHL holding its playoffs in quarantined bubbles in Toronto and Edmonton but has not allowed family members who aren't Canadian citizens join, as had been planned by the league and players. Stars Goaltender Anton Khudobin stops Lighting forward Patrick Maroon on Monday 'That application remains pending,' deputy commissioner Bill Daly said. 'I think at this point, I don't have a high level of expectation that it will be approved. But it has not formally been denied at this point, either.' The league is less than two weeks away from pulling off a successful return, after the season was halted March 12. More than 30,000 tests inside the bubbles turned up zero positive coronavirus test results. Before the Dallas Stars and Tampa Bay Lightning opened the final, Bettman acknowledged he's not taking a victory lap yet. He's still focused on getting through this series even as preparations begin for next season. Bettman said the league has 'started informally thinking' about it and conceded there will be a financial hit because attendance makes up at least 50% of revenue. He's not worried about any franchises not making it through this and said Seattle joining the league won't be pushed back. 'While we know it'll be less (money), we know there's a substantial revenue impact, I'm comfortable that our franchises will be strong enough to weather this,' Bettman said. 'Our franchises will get through this and will come out stronger on the other side.'

Penpix Of The Top Men apos;s Contenders At The French Open

187.53.60.82:

Sept 25 (Reuters) - Penpix of the top men's contenders at the 2020 French Open (prefix denotes seeding): 2-Rafa Nadal (Spain) World ranking: 2 Born: June 3, 1986 (Age 34) Grand Slam titles: 19 (Australian Open 2009; French Open 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019; Wimbledon 2008, 2010; U.S. Open 2010, 2013, 2017, 2019) Best Roland Garros performance: Winner (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2017, 2018, 2019) ATP career titles: 85 Nadal's quest to break Roger Federer's record of 20 Grand Slam titles hit a road bump when the COVID-19 pandemic suspended the season and postponed the French Open, his favourite major, to September. With novel coronavirus concerns prompting him to skip a trip to New York, all Nadal can hope for is to equal his injured Swiss rival's record at 20-20 in 2020 as he bids for a record-extending 13th title at Roland Garros. He looked off the pace in Rome in his first tournament back after seven months, losing in the quarter-finals in straight sets to Diego Schwartzman after he was broken five times, but said he knew exactly what he needed to fix before Paris. - 1-Novak Djokovic (Serbia) World ranking: 1 Born: May 22, 1987 (Age 33) Grand Slam titles: 17 (Australian Open 2008, 2011, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, 2019, 2020); French Open 2016; [http://www.modernmom.com/?s=Wimbledon Wimbledon] 2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019; U.S. Open (2011, 2015, 2018) Best Roland Garros performance: Winner (2016) ATP career titles: 81 Djokovic is yet to lose a match on court this year but had his perfect record in 2020 blemished by his U.S. Open default earlier this month when he inadvertently hit a line judge with the ball after a point. The Australian Open champion is hungry to redeem himself and end the year on a high, especially after his Adria [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html tour phượng hoàng cổ trấn] tournament amid the COVID-19 pandemic put him in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons as players tested positive. Despite winning 10 Masters titles on clay, Djokovic has won the Roland Garros crown only once in his career, falling at the final hurdle three times. But his superior fitness and his fifth title in Rome this week makes him a top contender. - 3-Dominic Thiem (Austria) World ranking: 3 Born: Sept. 3, 1993 (Age 27) Grand Slam titles: 1 (U.S. Open 2020) Best Roland Garros performance: Runner-up (2018, 2019) ATP career titles: 17 Thiem was labelled the flag bearer for the next generation but fell short in three finals on the biggest stage until he finally got his break at Flushing Meadows this year, winning his first Grand Slam title days after turning 27. The Austrian baseliner, known for one of the most powerful single-handed backhands in the game, reached the final at Roland Garros the last two years only to lose against Nadal. Nevertheless, his groundstrokes and ability to win long rallies make clay the ideal surface for Thiem to win his second major. - 6-Alexander Zverev (Germany) World ranking: 7 Born: April 20, 1997 (Age 23) Grand Slam titles: 0 Best Roland Garros performance: Quarter-finals (2018, 2019) ATP career titles: 11 A mainstay in the top five in recent years, Zverev's stock fell until he reached this month's U.S. Open final where he was one set away from his first Grand Slam title before it all fell apart in the final against Thiem. Zverev relies on a fiery first serve and strong backhand while he also thrives on his powerful groundstrokes but the German lacks that same cutting edge on his second serve to pose a threat on clay. However, two Masters titles on clay and two quarter-final appearances at Roland Garros in the last two years will fill him with confidence heading into the final Grand Slam of the year. - 12-Diego Schwartzman (Argentina) World ranking: 13 Born: Aug. 16, 1992 (Age 28) Grand Slam titles: 0 Best Roland Garros performance: Quarter-finals (2018) ATP career titles: 3 Schwartzman missed the chance to break into the world's top-10 for [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/tours/tour-trung-quoc-nam-ninh-truong-gia-gioi-phuong-hoang-co-tran-6-ngay.html kynghidongduong.vn] the first time in his career when he lost to Djokovic in the final in Rome. However, the diminutive Argentine will take solace in the fact that he got the better of Nadal in the quarter-final. A counter-puncher who uses his speed and agility to cover the court well, Schwartzman's game is suited to claycourts where his defensive abilities come to the fore to create numerous attacking opportunities and passing shots.
