L'Oréal Paris taps Charlotte Cardin as newest ambassador
"Charlotte embodies everything L'Oréal Paris stands for—confidence, creativity, and fearless self-worth. We're thrilled to welcome her to the L'Oréal Paris family,' said Édouard Hottebart, general manager at L'Oréal Paris Canada.
Hailing from Montréal, Cardin has captivated audiences with her mix of electro-pop and raw, soulful ballads. Her 2023 debut album Phoenix catapulted her to global acclaim and became one of the year's best-selling albums.
Most recently, in 2024, her album 99 Nights earned Album of the Year at the Juno Awards, and she went on to make history as Billboard Canada's Women of the Year.
Beyond her musical success, Cardin is an advocate for mental health awareness and body positivity. As an ambassador for the Montreal Children's Hospital Foundation, she uses her platform to champion well-being and inspire others to lead with compassion and self-acceptance.
"It feels incredibly natural to join the L'Oréal Paris family. Their values around individuality and empowered self-worth align deeply with who I am—and what I stand for," added Cardin.

White House lashes out at 'South Park' Trump parody
In a no-holds-barred season premiere, the animated Trump character is also seen begging Satan for sex, only to be rebuffed -- in part because his penis is too small. The White House was not amused. "This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention," spokesperson Taylor Rogers said. "President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history -- and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak." The adult animated series, which frequently touches on hot-button issues in American life, is now in its 27th season and remains one of the world's most valuable TV shows. The season premiere begins with the foul-mouthed Cartman appalled that NPR has been taken off the air by the president, while Randy, a parent, is disturbed by the presence of Jesus in public elementary school. Complaints to the fictional White House receive only a threat from Trump to sue the mountain town of South Park for billions of dollars. Meanwhile, animated Trump is threatening to bomb Canada "like I did Iraq." "I thought you just bombed Iran," the Canadian prime minister replies. "Iran, Iraq, what the hell's the difference?" replies Trump. The episode, which sees the fictional Trump ride rough-shod over many aspects of American life, ends after the town of South Park makes a financial deal with the president that includes an agreement to make public service announcements. The AI generated short that follows -- ostensibly one of those announcements -- shows an overweight Trump staggering through a desert as a narrator casts him as a latter-day Jesus. The short ends with a naked Trump as the narrator says: "Trump. His penis is teeny-tiny, but his love for us is large." Merger The episode aired days after creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone reportedly penned a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount that gives the company global rights. The deal comes at a sensitive time for Paramount, which is trying to secure government approval for a multi-billion-dollar merger with entertainment company Skydance. The CBS parent caused a furor this month when it agreed to pay $16 million to settle a lawsuit Trump had brought over an interview the storied "60 Minutes" current affairs program aired with Kamala Harris ahead of last November's election. The payment was criticized by Democrats as little more than a bribe to help smooth the merger, with Paramount initially dismissing Trump's lawsuit as meritless. Last week CBS sparked fury after it cancelled "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" whose host is a pointed critic of the president. The network insisted it was a financial decision, but opponents have painted the move as the latest example of American institutions bowing to Trump.

At Lollapalooza Paris, 'rather high social status' festivalgoers seek to let loose
Saturday, July 19, 3:41 pm, in Paris. At La Motte-Piquet Grenelle metro station, on the platform of metro line 10 heading toward Boulogne, the atmosphere was strikingly divergent from that of a typical Paris weekend afternoon. Between the flashy outfits, glittery makeup and palpable excitement, there was no doubt: A good share of the metro's passengers were on their way to Lollapalooza. The music festival, organized by Live Nation, took place at the Hippodrome de Longchamp over the whole weekend. On Friday, July 18, Olivia Rodrigo and Benson Boone took to the festival's main stages, setting the crowd of tens of thousands of people on fire. On Saturday, the spotlight turned to American rapper Macklemore and French DJ David Guetta. Everyone had their own travel strategy: The most determined cracked open their first can of beer, while others opted for coffee, all while stifling a few yawns. As the festival site came into view, unusual types of headgear began to crop up, ranging from rainbow propeller caps to cowboy hats. Once on-site, partygoers wandered between the festival's five stages and enjoyed the first concerts – French rapper Franglish, Canadian rock band Mother Mother and Cape Verdean R&B singer Ronisia – before the evening's two headliners arrived. Dozens of Colombian jerseys added color to the crowd, worn by fans of rising reggaeton star Feid, who hails from Medellin. Diego, draped in Colombia's yellow, blue, and red flag, waited eagerly for the South American star. The 30-something had come with his group of friends, all Colombian. They work in Paris, in managerial positions. "We're here for all three days and, so far, it's really well organized, the concerts are worth it," said Diego, delighted.

Footage of Indian amusement park misrepresented as showing Canada
"Is that REALLY Canada's Wonderland? Either way, YUCK," reads the caption of a July 16, 2025 X video. The video of people packed into a wave pool where most of the swimmers do not appear to be white was also shared to Instagram. Text over the footage claims it shows Canada's Wonderland, the country's largest theme park, in Ontario on May 18, 2025. ditional examples reveals the clip was also linked to Canada in 2024, with versions implying the crowd reflected former prime minister Justin Trudeau's open immigration policies. Image Screenshot of an X post taken July 18, 2025 Image Screenshot of a TikTok taken July 18, 2025 As Canada's once long-standing immigration consensus has broken down, AFP has debunked numerous claims about new arrivals, with many targeting people who moved to the country from India. Comments on the clip displayed insults and one account sharing it appeared to reference a slur for Indian people in its handle. In June 2025, the Institute for Strategic Dialogue think tank reported a rising trend of anti-South Asian hate speech spread by Canadian extremist accounts amidst high immigration rates and heightened anxieties over housing availability and unemployment (archived here). While users implied the video supposedly showed a large number of Indian immigrants in Canada, the clip was actually filmed at a wave pool on the other side of the world "That is not Canada's Wonderland," said Grace Peacock, a spokeswoman for the park, in a July 17 email. Reverse image search results for the clip show the surroundings match other videos shared online and tagged at Blueworld Park in Kanpur, India (archived here). Social media posts claimed to have been taken at Blueworld and from the theme park's own Instagram page similarly display the wave pool misleadingly labeled as being in Canada (archived here and here), with the distinctive multi-color slides and the palace-inspired theme park hotel in the background (archive here). Satellite images of the park on Google Maps also match the slides and buildings seen in the video (archived here). Photos shared by users to Google Maps for Blueworld Park also visually match the misrepresented video (archived here). Image Screenshot taken July 18, 2025 of an image shared to Google Maps with highlights added by AFP By contrast, official images of the "White Water Bay" wave pool at Wonderland show it is located next to a rollercoaster with a yellow track.
