It certainly has been a busy morning on PeopleWorld, in fact every minute of the waking day seems busy when it comes to the world of celebrities and trending individuals. First up today on our hot list is billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe who has confirmed an interest in buying Manchester United football club.

He certainly is a fascinating and accomplished man who grew up in a council house and reportedly mortgaged his house in 1992 to buy BP’s chemicals division. He is now one of the richest men in Britain and should be lauded for what he has managed to achieve.

Next up today is Kim Kardashian. I love the contrast between Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Kim Kardashian, both are hugely successful in their fields, and this is what PeopleWorld is all about. A mix of contrasting celebrities and high profile individuals in their respective fields.

Kim is being hailed as the Queen of TikTok after giving herself a ‘British Chav’ makeover. Not only is she showing her humorous side, but like enduring stars such as Madonna, she is showing that she is able to constantly evolve to suit her different audiences.

From the world of influencers to the world of sport…

Last up today is American tennis player Mackenzie McDonald who has beaten Rafael Nadal in the Australian Open. Modest McDonald said: “I was in the locker room, and I was like, ‘Hey, that’s actually really big for me,’ because I haven’t beaten someone of that calibre.’

If you hadn’t heard of Mackenzie until today, I am certain that this is just the beginning of something big for him.

Now onto PeopleWorld’s not so hot list. First up today is Gary Lineker. The television presenter has been left red faced after YouTube prankster Daniel Jarvis has claimed responsibility for a prank that saw sounds of a pornographic audio being broadcast live on TV. No wonder Gary was red faced!

Next up today is Suella Braverman. She has been accused by Yvette Cooper of ‘letting women down’ over the Met Police scandal.

Last up today is Love Island’s Will Young. He has been accused of ‘criminal’ Dad Dancing and has been compared to The Office’s David Brent. Oh dear, oh dear Will. Dad Dancing and David Brent. That is not good!
