On January 11, 2021, Ben & Jerry’s issued a powerful statement regarding the events of January 6, 2021. They asserted that what transpired was not a mere protest, but a riot aimed at upholding white supremacy. According to the statement, “It was allowed to happen. The mostly white insurrectionists roamed freely and without consequence through the heart of our democracy.”
Ben & Jerry’s emphasized that the riot’s permissiveness was inherently linked to the race of the participants. They highlighted the stark contrast in how the rioters were treated compared to how Black, Brown, or Indigenous people would have been treated in a similar scenario. The company argued that the leniency shown to the insurrectionists was due to their whiteness.
The statement underscored a troubling double standard in the enforcement of law and order, pointing out the systemic racism that continues to plague the United States. Ben & Jerry’s called for a critical examination of this disparity, urging people to confront and address the underlying racial injustices. They stressed the importance of recognizing and challenging the privileges that allowed such an event to occur with apparent impunity for those involved.
Halloween’s star, Jamie Lee Curtis, made a stunning appearance on the red carpet in a plunging navy blue dress that beautifully showcased her figure. The dress featured a flattering ruffle just below her bust, adding to her elegant look. To complete her outfit, she wore black heeled shoes that perfectly complemented her ensemble.
The film “Everything Everywhere” was among the nominees, alongside other notable titles such as “Avatar: The Path of Water,” “The Banshee of Inisherina,” “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever,” “Elvis,” “Fabelmans,” and “Knives Out: Bulb made of glass.”
Since its release on March 25, 2022, the film has achieved significant success, grossing $107.4 million worldwide. Its earnings are expected to continue growing as it receives more awards and accolades.
“Bringing Miranda Priestly to life in the West End is an absolute dream come true. Gird your loins, folks,” Williams said in a statement about her new role, per Variety.
The new musical features an original score by music legend Elton John, with lyrics penned by Shaina Taub and a book written by Kate Wetherhead. Jerry Mitchell, a three-time Tony Award-winning choreographer, provides direction and choreography on the new production.
The 2006 movie starred Anne Hathaway as lead character Andy Sachs, an aspiring journalist who is thrown for a loop when she lands a job as a personal assistant to Priestly, who Meryl Streep played in the film. Streep, 74, received an Academy Award nomination for her role as the fictional magazine editor; and the movie became the 12th-highest grossing film of 2006.
Williams previously played a similar role as another fashion magazine editor, Wilhelmina Slater, in the ABC series Ugly Betty from 2006 to 2010. The actress told Entertainment Weekly all the way back in 2009 that playing the character was her “favorite role of a lifetime, and I truly enjoy coming to work every day.”
Additional casting for the upcoming musical has yet to be announced. The Devil Wears Prada musical will hold an exclusively preview engagement at Theatre Royal Plymouth in Plymouth, U.K., this July prior to its opening on the West End, as the production previously announced. The show opens at London’s Dominion Theatre in October.

Fans of Jodie Foster raised the alarm about a year and a half ago when it appeared that their favorite was giving up. The star’s body was suddenly indistinct, and her face was riddled with wrinkles and other signs of aging.
Foster’s ability to turn back time is a closely guarded secret. But one thing is certain: she appears more beautiful and younger now on a regular walk than she did on the red carpet a few years ago.
The actress was filmed by paparazzi while shopping with her son in New York City. And 58-year-old Jodie cannot deny that fact: some performers, even at 30, appear older.I would like to grow old on film, like Katharine Hepburn,” Foster once admitted. “I enjoy my age. Not for any money will I go back to my twenties. This age is full of apprehension and fear. And that’s something not worth living with.
Women in their fifties are definitely more interesting than those in their twenties. We’ve lived longer, we’re more confident. It no longer makes sense to pretend you’re crestfallen and in the know, to worry about whether you’re cool. Being who you are is a huge advantage.”
Julia Roberts, the famous actress from movies like “Pretty Woman,” decided to become a stay-at-home mom when she had her kids. Even though she’s a big Hollywood star, she’s shown that she can be a great mom too.
She took a break from acting to take care of her family. Her family includes her husband, Henry Daniel Moder, and their twins, Hazel and Phinneas Moder, along with their son, Henry Moder. Julia really enjoys her new job of being a full-time mom.
Julia Roberts and Daniel Moder were at a reception for the 2022 Kennedy Center honorees in December 2022 at the White House.
Julia shares that being a mom brings her a lot of joy and satisfaction. She takes care of everything at home. Every day, she cooks breakfast for her family, cleans the kitchen, and handles many other tasks. By the time she finishes all her responsibilities, it’s already time to start preparing lunch. When dinner comes around, she feels like she’s had a busy and fulfilling day. Julia mentions:
“I don’t have the luxury of sitting around anymore. I probably had a lot of free time before I had children, but I don’t remember what I did with it, and I didn’t appreciate it.”
She also gets to spend a lot of time with her family and said with a smile, “My life at home gives me absolute joy.” Although she loves caring for her family, life at home can sometimes become slightly tedious. Julia explained:
“And, as with anybody who’s a mom or a wife, it just becomes part of your everyday routine. Some days it’s super fun and some days it’s a chore.”

However, she hasn’t retired from acting altogether. It just takes more convincing to get her to take on a role. Julia admitted that whenever she finds a project with a fascinating plot or a compelling character, she is still tempted to do it.
The actress from “Eat, Pray, Love,” Julia Roberts, got so involved in her new life that she didn’t even tell her kids about her job. For a while, they didn’t know she was a very famous Hollywood star.
Even though she’s a big celebrity, Julia kept it a secret from her kids. They started figuring it out eventually, but at first, they thought she didn’t have a job because she spent a lot of time cooking and taking care of the house.
Julia shared a bit about her approach to preparing meals and where her inspiration and love for cooking came from. She learned a lot from her mother, who preferred to make everything herself using ingredients from her garden. Although she doesn’t go quite as far, she still has a few tricks up her sleeve.
Since her children have grown older, they’ve realized more and more that their mother is a successful actress.
The actress said that cooking for her family is a “privilege,” an “honor,” and a “luxury” she didn’t realize before. Her family has made her life even more fulfilling, and even her co-stars appreciate her role as a mom. She shared a funny story about how her co-star, Julianne Nicholson, sewed new sleeping bags for her daughter Hazel’s dolls.
Even though she’s famous, Julia likes being a regular mom at home. She loves having family meals so they can spend time together regularly. Julia enjoys having breakfast and dinner with her children.
“I usually have breakfast and dinner with my kids every day. I think it really punctuates, you know, starting things together and sort of processing and winding it down together.”
As her kids got older, they began to understand that their mom is a famous actress. Now, when she goes to film movies in different places, she brings them along. Julia mentioned that having her kids with her helps her stay grounded and down-to-earth.
“There’s something very humbling when you have kids, and you come home from some event and you have on this big dress and heels and diamonds, and it’s like, ‘Can I have a snack?’ And you go, ‘Yeah.’”
The actress shared that she and her husband, Daniel, decided to raise their kids like any other regular family. Julia thinks it’s important to teach her kids important life skills, such as doing their own laundry, making their beds, and taking care of themselves.

The Hollywood couple celebrated 35 years of wedded bliss on April 30.
To mark the occasion, Wilson shared a photo on social media of Hanks presenting her with a cake.
“35 years of marriage. April 30, 1988. Love is everything,” she wrote.
The couple first met in 1981 while on the set of Bosom Buddies. Their relationship began as friends as Hanks was married to Samantha Lewes, his college sweetheart, at the time.
“I will say that right from the get-go, I thought there was something crazy great about her. I met her and I thought ‘Oh Lord’… there’s something cookin’ here,” the 66-year-old actor told “Sooo Many White Guys” podcast.

“They say it must be hard work. No, it’s not. Every now and again you know, you gotta get over some stuff but life is one damn thing after another and it’s actually more pleasant to be able to go home with someone you like to spend time with in order to get with it.”
Congratulations to Tom and Rita! Thirty-five years is a major milestone, especially in Hollywood.
The Italian film icon suffered several injuries, including a serious fracture to her femur
Sophia Loren has undergone emergency surgery after sustaining several fractures in a bad fall.
The Italian film star, 89, fell in her bathroom and suffered multiple fractures to her hip, as well as a serious fracture to her femur, which required surgery.
A source close to Loren told The Hollywood Reporter that there is “cautious optimism” about the outcome of the operation and Loren’s recovery, which will reportedly include a brief period of convalescence and a long rehabilitation.
Loren had been scheduled to open a restaurant in the Italian city of Bari on Tuesday (26 September). The restaurant – the fourth such eatery to bear her name – was the one to break the news of her fall, confirming that all her engagements for the foreseeable future have now been cancelled.
In addition to the restaurant opening in Bari, the Arabesque (1966) star had been due to receive honorary citizenship from the southern Italian city.
Loren recently made a public appearance at the Armani fashion show in Venice on 2 September, which was held during the 80th Venice Film Festival.
Sources told the publication that the actor’s sons, Carlo, 54, and Edoardo, 50, are by her side at the hospital.
The Independent has contacted a representative of Loren for comment.

In 2020, Edoardo, a filmmaker, directed his mother in her most recent movie, titled The Life Ahead.
The film, which won Loren a David di Donatello Award for best actress, followed the story of an ageing Holocaust survivor who forges an unlikely bond with a bitter street kid from Senegal when she takes him in after he robs her.
“She was strong, she was fragile, she was funny, touching… everything that a woman is and everything I have always wanted to bring on the screen. In my career, I’ve always tried to play women with a strong character,” she said.
The year prior, Loren was the subject of a Netflix document What Would Sophia Loren Do?

Loren is best known for films including A Special Day (1977), Marriage, Italian Style (1964), and Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow (1963).
Her role as Filumena in Marriage, Italian Style – who tries to trick her philandering lover into marriage so that her three children, born out of wedlock, might have a family name – earned her a second Oscar nomination.
In 1961, she became the first performer to win an Oscar for a foreign-language role with Two Women, in which she starred as a mother who saves her daughter.

The Spring 2024 exhibit required esteemed attendees to dress according to the theme: “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” Kidman and her rockstar husband, Keith Urban interpreted the theme with black and white ensembles that complemented each other.

Kidman opted for a beautiful white gown that had black chiffon-like material making up the bottom half of the dress, creating a protruding ruffle effect. The back of the dress revealed a long white train that was connected to her fitted sleeveless bodice piece.

She paired her glamorous look with arm-length white gloves, and a silver diamond bracelet, and left her blonde locks loose. Urban, on the other hand, donned a chic black suit that had a black rose pinned on one side, a white dress shirt underneath, and a white bow tie. He completed his look with black dress shoes.

Like Urban, Damon, who was accompanied by his wife, Luciana Barroso, also chose to rock a snazzy black suit. He had on a white dress shirt, a black bow tie, and gleaming black formal shoes.

Barroso stunned in a simple yet elegant white dress that draped down to the floor. Her gown, like Kidman’s, was also sleeveless and fit with stripe details by the bosom area. Though the dress was strapless, it was fastened together by a neckpiece that clasped to the back of the gown.

When it came to what people had to say about Urban and the “Australia” star’s coordinating looks, they did not hold back. “Why are they always holding hands […] like teenagers[?] Always looks staged….Ps: he always looks like the valet driver with the haircut! Maybe that’s what he is? By the way, the theme was ‘garden,’ [they] obviously didn’t get the [memo],” criticized someone.

Another social media user wrote, “I wish Keith would wash his hair once in awhile! I mean Nicole looks awesome…maybe for her special night at least..?” Similarly, another noted, “This dude needs to do something with this stringy greasy hair.”

“He needs a good barber,” continued someone else, and in response, another user called Urban’s appearance “such a dated look.”
Kidman posted a picture of the duo intertwined with one another to her Instagram feed, which gave the illusion that Urban was wearing a dress. Referencing this picture, an Instagrammer pondered, “Is Mr. Kidman in a dress-tux situation or am I seeing an optical illusion??”
Similarly, another commented, “Please don’t tell me Keith is wearing a dress.” However, among the vitriol were some fans who praised the couple. “On my personal best dressed list,” complimented a fan, while another gushed, “Most Beautiful Couple! 🔥😍👏.”

Much like how fashion critics were unafraid to express their opinions on Urban and Kidman’s looks, many did the same when it came to Damon and Barroso. “Anna should ban him from the Met Gala for wearing that 🤡🤮,” stated an Instagrammer.

Continuing to speak on the event’s dress code and how the couple chose to incorporate it into their outfits, another social media user expressed, “There needs to be a rule about not letting people in who aren’t incorporating the theme.”

“You have this much money and you wore this? 😡” questioned another unimpressed Instagrammer. Remarking on the minimalistic nature of Barroso and Damon’s looks, another person said, “Great… a little too simple for the MET… 🤷♀️.” “How boring,” remarked another.

Much like how Nicole Kidman, Urban, Damon, and Barosso garnered varying reactions from spectators, Jennifer Lopez sparked a flurry of strong opinions from social media users concerning her Met Gala ensemble.
Attending as one of the co-chairs of the Spring 2024 exhibit, the 54-year-old was a show-stopper while posing for pictures at the event. Lopez wore a gorgeous, slightly sheer couture gown designed by the iconic fashion house of Schiaparelli, which was adorned with crystal embellishments and showcased her curvy figure.

She complemented her ensemble with pristine silver jewels including dangling earrings, rings, and an extravagant diamond necklace. With the beautiful dress as her look’s main focal point, Lopez opted for neutral makeup.

Lopez used a combination of brown, pink, and caramel tones, and cheekbone bronzer with glossy lips. Complementing the look, she fashioned her hair into a top knot bun, leaving only a few wisps of hair loose to frame her face. The “Can’t Get Enough” artist’s appearance garnered a lot of attention from the public.
“The hair and makeup is terrible! She looks tired,” wrote an unimpressed social media user. In response to this comment, another person said, “It looks like she tossed up a messy bun after a day at the beach.”

Similarly, someone on Facebook commented, “Love the dress but this looks like my everyday mom bun 😂.” Continuing to criticize her hair and makeup, another user expressed, “That highlighter on the inner eyes is only highlighting the wrinkles under her eyes! First time I’ve ever noticed them. She has great makeup artists so????”

“Lookin like Jenny did her own hair and makeup […] too old for see thru,” reprimanded a social media user. “What’s going on with the hair? Love everything else,” pondered another person.

Commenting on her dress, someone else chastised, “She’s beautiful but dress decent it’s getting old and so is she, wonder what her kids will think when [they are] older.” Referring to Lopez’s overall look, another simply noted, “No class,” while someone else stated, “That neck don’t lie.”
Although many criticized Lopez’s appearance, what may not be appreciated is the amount of work that went into its conception. According to fashion designer Mariel Haenn, the star’s gown “took over 800 hours of work” to make.
Designed by using four enlarged butterfly wings to make up the dress’ entire surface area, in addition to using “2,500,000 silver foil bugle beads,” the inspiration behind the dress was the butterfly.
