James Corden is paying the salaries of furloughed Late Late Show staff from his own pocket, it has been claimed. The 41-year-old has been broadcasting the nightly series from his garage in LA for the last few weeks, due to coronavirus.

According to Variety, CBS covered eight weeks of salary for members of the production team who became sidelined following the changes.

The Gavin and Stacey actor is thought to picked up the responsibility himself, telling some Late Late Show staff that they will be furloughed from 4 May – and that he will be covering their salaries from his own pocket.

While the total cost is unclear, the publication states it is likely to be at least ‘five figures a week’. Seriously generous.

Abbott directs DFPS to investigate "abusive" gender-transitioning procedures on Texas children
AUSTIN, Texas - Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has directed the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS) to investigate reported instances of "abusive gender-transitioning procedures" done on Texas children.Abbott sent a letter to DFPS earlier this week saying the law "imposes a duty on DFPS to investigate the parents of children subjected to gender-transitioning procedures, and on other state agencies to investigate licensed facilities where such procedures may occur."The letter comes after Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton released a formal opinion concluding that "performing certain ‘sex-change' procedures on children, and prescribing puberty-blockers to them, is 'child abuse’ under Texas law."Abbott's letter also states that Texas law imposes reporting requirements on licensed professionals with direct contact with children, including doctors, nurses, and teachers, and criminal penalties for failing to report abuse. In August 2021, Abbott had previously directed DFPS to issue a determination on whether gender reassignment surgery constituted as child abuse.In a letter to the governor, Commissioner Jaime Masters determined that "genital mutation of a child through reassignment surgery" constitutes child abuse because it may cause "a genuine threat of substantial harm from physical injury to the child"."Genital mutilation of a child through reassignment surgery is child abuse," reads Commissioner Masters' letter.
