As the actor says goodbye to the role, he reflects on celebrity, controversy and masculinityEarly morning in Penn Badgley’s house has the reassuringly normal noisy chaos that comes with a young family.

30 h. ago Jason Tindall prepared to lead Newcastle for rest of season as Howe recovers

Manager in hospital being treated for pneumonia‘No exact timeframe’ for return, says TindallJason Tindall is ready to take charge of Newcastle for the remainder of the season as Eddie Howe recovers from pneumonia. With Newcastle’s manager still in hospital, his assistant will lead the team against Crystal Palace at St James’ Park on Wednesday night and at Aston Villa on Saturday, but, if necessary, Tindall is prepared to deputise for longer.Given that recovery times from assorted types of pneumonia vary considerably, with some patients requiring months rather than weeks off work, Newcastle are anxious Howe does not rush his return and concentrates on being fully fit for the start of next season.

For the second season in succession Northampton are into the Champions Cup semi-finals and have booked themselves a trip to Dublin to face Leinster. Last time they came within three points of victory so, on paper at least, there is still a chance that Saints can march all the way to next month’s final in Cardiff.All the evidence would suggest, though, that Leinster are a more formidable force this year than last while Northampton had be initially resolute to see off a hard-edged Castres team who competed strongly until two tries in five minutes early in the second half from the fit-again George Furbank and the man of the moment Henry Pollock cracked their resistance.
