Hailey Bieber Turns Up the Heat with Sultry Bedroom Snaps Following Steamy Victoria’s Secret Campaign

Supermodel and Rhode founder Hailey Bieber is once again commanding attention, sharing a series of bold, intimate bedroom photographs that have set social media ablaze just days after her highly anticipated Victoria’s Secret return.

The 29-year-old Rhode skin-care mogul and runway icon posted the provocative images to her Instagram grid late Thursday evening, showcasing a playful yet undeniably sensual side in delicate lingerie and minimal styling. The cheeky bedroom series features Hailey posing confidently against soft neutral linens, with strategic cropping, sultry gazes, and a knowing smile that perfectly balances effortless glamour with unapologetic allure.

The timing of the personal post comes on the heels of Bieber’s widely celebrated re-debut with Victoria’s Secret, where she starred in the brand’s latest campaign photographed by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott. The official VS images—described by fans and critics alike as “dangerously sexy” and “peak Hailey”—featured the model in signature winged looks reimagined for 2026, blending archival nostalgia with modern edge.

Industry insiders note that the back-to-back visual moments appear to be a deliberate flex of creative control, with Hailey seamlessly transitioning from high-fashion commercial work to intimate, self-directed content that speaks directly to her 52+ million Instagram followers.

“Hailey has always understood the power of contrast,” said one longtime collaborator close to the campaign. “She can walk an Angel runway in full theatrical wings one day and then drop something raw, personal, and completely her own the next. That duality is what keeps people obsessed.”

While the bedroom snaps carry no official caption beyond a simple heart-eyes emoji, fans quickly flooded the comments with fire and flame emojis, declarations of “this is her villain era,” and playful demands for a Rhode x Victoria’s Secret collaboration.

The images have already garnered millions of likes and shares within hours, cementing Hailey Bieber’s status not only as one of the most influential faces in fashion, but also as a master of curating desire on her own terms.

Wayne Rooney Backs Liam Rosenior for Chelsea Managerial Role

Legendary former England captain and Manchester United star Wayne Rooney has thrown his full support behind Liam Rosenior as the leading candidate to become Chelsea's next head coach.

Speaking on the BBC's *Wayne Rooney Show*, the former Derby County manager praised Rosenior – who served as his assistant at Pride Park in 2021-2022 – as one of the finest coaches he has ever worked with. The endorsement comes amid reports that Rosenior, currently in charge of Ligue 1 side Strasbourg, is in advanced talks to replace Enzo Maresca at Stamford Bridge following the Italian's departure on New Year's Day.

"Liam was so important for me. He was incredible in his coaching ability," Rooney said. "His detail, how he approaches the day-to-day – he's as good as I've ever worked with. So I learned a lot from him from that point of view and then I think he's done a great job as a whole."

Rooney, who worked closely with Rosenior during a challenging period at Derby, highlighted the 41-year-old's tactical acumen, work ethic, and readiness for a big club challenge. "He's taken chances, and hopefully that pays off because I think Liam is as good a coach as I've ever worked with," he added. "If he goes in there [Chelsea], he won’t disappoint. He’s been waiting for an opportunity like this. If you don’t take it now, then you’re never going to take it. He’s done his apprenticeship, he’s done his work to get to that job."

Rosenior, who previously managed Hull City and guided Strasbourg to a seventh-place finish in Ligue 1, has strong ties to Chelsea's ownership group BlueCo, which also controls the French club. The Englishman arrived in London on Sunday for talks, with negotiations reportedly at an advanced stage. An announcement could come as early as Monday, potentially in time for Chelsea's Premier League trip to Fulham on Wednesday.

Rooney also emphasized the significance of the appointment for English coaches. "For young English coaches I think it's massive. We don't really see English managers at big clubs. So he'd be leading the way for us."

The former England striker's glowing reference underscores Rosenior's growing reputation as a progressive, detail-oriented coach capable of thriving in high-pressure environments. As Chelsea seek stability after a turbulent period, Rooney's backing adds significant weight to Rosenior's candidacy.

Chelsea have yet to confirm any appointment, but sources indicate Rosenior is the clear frontrunner.

Manchester United Announce Departure of Head Coach Rúben Amorim

Manchester United Football Club can confirm that Rúben Amorim has left his role as head coach with immediate effect.

The decision, made reluctantly by the club's leadership, follows a period of assessment and comes after the team's 1-1 draw against Leeds United on Sunday, 4 January. With Manchester United currently positioned sixth in the Premier League table, the club believes this is the right time to make a change to provide the team with the best opportunity to achieve the highest possible finish this season.

Amorim, who joined United in November 2024 from Sporting CP, oversaw 63 matches during his 14-month tenure, recording 25 wins, 15 draws, and 23 defeats. His time at the club included a challenging first season that saw the team finish 15th in the Premier League – the club's lowest position in the modern era – and reach the Europa League final, where they were defeated by Tottenham Hotspur.

Despite flashes of promise, including notable victories such as the Manchester derby win over Manchester City and a strong run in October 2025 that earned him Premier League Manager of the Month, consistent performance proved elusive. Recent weeks saw growing tensions, particularly regarding tactical approach, recruitment decisions, and the balance of responsibilities within the club's football operations structure.

Manchester United would like to thank Rúben for his dedication, professionalism, and contribution during his time with the club. We wish him every success in his future endeavours.

Darren Fletcher, the club's Under-18s head coach and former first-team player, will take interim charge of the team, starting with Wednesday's Premier League fixture away at Burnley. The club intends to appoint a caretaker manager to lead the side until the end of the current campaign, with a permanent appointment planned for the summer.

Manchester United remains fully committed to building a sustainable and successful future under the ownership and strategic direction of Sir Jim Ratcliffe, INEOS, and the club's executive leadership team, including Chief Executive Omar Berrada and Director of Football Jason Wilcox.

Super Eagles Target Quarter-Final Berth as AFCON 2025 Knockout Stage Ignites

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the Super Eagles camp are fully focused on securing a place in the quarter-finals of the TotalEnergies **CAF Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025** as the tournament's knockout phase begins in earnest.

Following a dominant group stage campaign, where the three-time champions **Nigeria** topped Group C with a perfect record of three wins from three matches, scoring eight goals — the highest tally of any team in the group phase — the Super Eagles now face Mozambique in the Round of 16 today at the Stade de Fès (kick-off 20:00 local time / 19:00 GMT).

Under the leadership of head coach **Eric Chelle**, the team has demonstrated resilience, attacking flair, and tactical discipline, quickly moving past the disappointment of missing out on the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification. Stars such as **Victor Osimhen**, **Ademola Lookman**, **Alex Iwobi**, **Raphael Onyedika** (who netted twice against Uganda), and **Wilfred Ndidi** have led an exciting and potent attack, while the defensive unit remains determined to tighten up in the decisive stages.

This encounter marks Mozambique's historic first appearance in the AFCON knockout rounds, having advanced as one of the best third-placed teams after securing their maiden continental finals victory against Gabon. The Mambas, led by key player **Geny Catamo**, will face a stern test against a Nigeria side that holds an unbeaten record in five previous meetings (four wins, one draw), including a commanding 3-0 victory in their only prior AFCON clash in 2010.

**NFF President Ibrahim Gusau** commented:  

"The Super Eagles have arrived in the knockouts with momentum and confidence. Our players have shown character, skill, and unity throughout the group stage. We respect Mozambique as every opponent in this competition deserves respect, but our clear target is to progress to the quarter-finals and continue our pursuit of a fourth AFCON title. The entire nation stands behind the team — we expect nothing less than full commitment and excellence on the pitch tonight."

The winner of today's tie will advance to face the victor of Algeria vs DR Congo in the quarter-finals on January 10 in Marrakesh, setting up a potential blockbuster showdown in the last eight.

The Super Eagles remain one of the tournament favorites, with their blend of Premier League-proven talent and collective spirit positioning them strongly to go deep in Morocco. The NFF calls on all Nigerians at home and in the diaspora to rally behind the team as they chase continental glory.

Egypt Edge Benin 3-1 After Extra Time to Secure Quarter-Final Spot in AFCON 2025

The **Egyptian Football Association** is delighted to announce that the Pharaohs have advanced to the quarter-finals of the TotalEnergies Africa Cup of Nations Morocco 2025 following a hard-fought 3-1 victory over Benin in the Round of 16, played at the Grand Stade d'Agadir.

In a thrilling encounter that required extra time to produce a winner, Egypt demonstrated resilience, quality, and character to overcome a determined and well-organized Benin side. The match ended 1-1 after 90 minutes before the Pharaohs pulled away in the additional 30 minutes.

**Marwan Attia** broke the deadlock in the 70th minute with a stunning curled strike from the edge of the box, capping off an excellent team move involving captain **Mohamed Salah** and right-back **Mohamed Hany**. Benin's spirited response came in the 83rd minute when substitute **Jodel Dossou** tapped in after a deflection and spill by goalkeeper **Mohamed El Shenawy**, forcing extra time.

The breakthrough in the additional period arrived in the 97th minute, as defender **Yasser Ibrahim** rose superbly to head home from a well-worked corner routine, restoring Egypt's lead. With Benin pushing forward in search of an equalizer in the dying moments, the Pharaohs sealed the victory in dramatic fashion. In the 120+3rd minute, **Mohamed Salah** latched onto a precise pass from **Ahmed Sayed Zizo** on a swift counter-attack, calmly slotting the ball past the onrushing goalkeeper with the outside of his boot to make it 3-1 and confirm progression.

This result marks Egypt's place in the last eight, where they will face the winner of the tie between holders Côte d’Ivoire and Burkina Faso. The seven-time champions, under the guidance of their coaching staff, continue their pursuit of an unprecedented eighth AFCON title — their first since 2010.

**Egyptian Football Association President** commented:  

"This was a true test of character against a brave Benin team that never stopped fighting. Our players showed tremendous spirit, quality, and belief to secure the victory. Mohamed Salah, Marwan Attia, Yasser Ibrahim, and the entire squad delivered when it mattered most. We now look ahead to the quarter-finals with confidence and determination."

The Pharaohs extend their gratitude to the passionate Egyptian fans in Agadir and back home, whose unwavering support fueled the team throughout this intense battle.
