Elf Beauty has acquired Hailey Bieber's Rhode skincare brand in a one billion dollars (£740 million) deal, the companies said.

The company's products are only available online, but by the end of this year it plans to begin an in-store partnership with Sephora in North America and the UK.
Bieber, 28, a model and the wife of singer Justin Bieber, will be Rhode's chief creative officer and head of innovation – and also a strategic adviser to the combined companies.
She launched Rhode, which is her middle name, as a skin care line in June 2022 and has since expanded the brand to include blushes, coloured lip balms and lip liners.
The brand is popular with young consumers and other fans of Bieber's fresh-faced, casual aesthetic, which has emerged as an alternative to the ultra-glam, heavily made up looks popularised by Kim Kardashian a decade ago.

Under the terms of the agreement, E.l.f. will acquire Rhode for 600 million dollars in cash and 200 million dollars of newly issued shares of Elf Beauty common stock.
The deal also includes a potential payment of 200 million dollars based on the future growth of the brand over three years.
Shares in Elf jumped 12% before the opening bell on Thursday.

BCP launches British pound stablecoin
BCP Technologies has launched the first British pound-backed stablecoin from an FCA-registered crypto issuer. 0 BCP's tokenised GBP (tGBP) is backed 1:1 by reserves held in a segregated account at a UK-regulated financial institution and is fully redeemable for sterling at any time. BCP says the stablecoin is now live after more than a year-long review process, including a month in the FCA's regulatory sandbox. As the stablecoin market heats up, the firm is hoping to take advantage of the fact that GBP options have so far been limited, typically issued by offshore entities with low liquidity. It says that tGBP uses the reliability of UK financial infrastructure for the minting and redeeming process and has the flexibility and speed of blockchain technology. Benoit Marzouk, CEO, BCP Technologies, says: "tGBP supports a broad range of use cases: GBP self-custody for retail and corporates to bring an alternative from banks (and their inherent fractional reserve risk), cross-border payments, institutional collateral management, a GBP option for DeFi lending protocols and a GBP on-chain access for bitcoin-backed loans. "It might also be used in the future as the main GBP rail for settling tokenised assets like bonds, securities, or real estate."

Andy Cohen weighs in on whether Real Housewives Of New Jersey will ever return after it was put on hiatus
Andy Cohen has shared an update on where Real Housewives of New Jersey stands after initially announcing last summer that the franchise was getting a reboot. The 57-year-old executive producer — who is accused of orchestrating an attack against a Bravo star — appeared on The View Tuesday morning, where he opened up to the panel of hosts. 'We are doing casting on [Real Housewives of] Jersey,' he confirmed, adding about the hiatus: 'It was really on a deep pause and we are actively there casting and looking at the future of what that will be.' Cohen also made it a point to tell viewers that he and the Bravo network as a whole think 'it is a great franchise and we love it.' The white-haired media personality was a guest on the show one day after celebrating his birthday. He wore a navy blue suit, striped white and blue shirt, and black-rimmed eyeglasses. Last July Cohen kept fans in suspense as he promised that Bravo would be doing 'something different' following the season 14 finale and reunion. Then, in August news came that the show likely wouldn't pick up filming until some point in 2025. The latest installment came to a close with Teresa Giudice, Jennifer Aydin, Dolores Catania, Melissa Gorga, Margaret Josephs, Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda as the main cast members. Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler also made appearances as friends. Details regarding updates on the series had been limited until Andy's visit to The View this week. But earlier this year Andy refuted claims that only Melissa and Dolores would return to the show, along with a selection of new personalities. According to Page Six, he clarified on his self-titled SiriusXM show in February: 'If it says, "Bravo has announced," or "Andy said on his radio..." then it is true. That's what I will tell you. Don't believe anything else.' On a March episode of her On Display podcast, Gorga revealed what she thinks is the reason the RHONJ franchise was 'ruined.' 'It was a constant game and it was a hunger game,' she explained. 'All the planning and planning and planning and plotting. 'I'm like, "Jesus Christ, do you guys ever sleep?"' 'We are doing casting on [Real Housewives of] Jersey,' he confirmed, adding about the hiatus: 'It was really on a deep pause and we are actively there casting and looking at the future of what that will be'; season 14 stars L-R Rachel Fuda, Margaret Josephs, Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, Teresa Giudice, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral Also during his spot on The View, the father-of-two talked up Bravo's forthcoming addition to the Housewives franchise — Real Housewives of Rhode Island. He spilled about the new show to Page Six, 'They are very Italian. Rhode Island is such a small state, and they all kind of know each other and overlap, and it's an incredible group of women who have really interesting connections. I think it's going to really surprise people.' And the longtime host compared it to RHONJ, noting that the main distinction is location. 'Well, they're in Rhode Island. It's coastal,' he stated, adding that the new lineup is 'more Italian' with 'deep families.'

Fans spot glaring detail in Terri and Steve Irwin's wedding photo as they mark huge marriage milestone
Terri Irwin has shared a heartfelt tribute to her late husband Steve to mark what would have been their 33rd wedding anniversary — and fans are all saying the same thing. The Irwin matriarch, 60, posted a precious throwback photo to social media on Wednesday, which captured her and Steve at their wedding ceremony in 1992. She looked radiant in a classic, long-sleeved ivory gown with lace detailing and a crown of flowers in her curled hair. Meanwhile, Steve looked dashing in a black tailored tuxedo paired with a white shirt and black bow tie. Terri captioned the photo with some heartfelt words: 'Today, 33 years ago, Steve and I were married in my grandmother's church in Oregon. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'It was the first day of my happily ever after. Every day I wake up with beautiful memories, so much love in my heart and the promise of continuing his incredible legacy. I am truly blessed.' Fans went wild over the adorable photo and took to the comment section to point out one glaring detail - just how much Steve's son Robert looks like him. The I'm A Celebrity... co-host is the spitting image of his late father, with his strapping physique, upbeat demeanour, beach blonde hair and cheeky grin. 'My god doesn't Robert look just like him!! Happy anniversary!' one person wrote. 'For a split second I thought Steve was Robert. They're twins! Happy Anniversary!' a second added. 'It's seeing young Steve and realising how much Robert really looks like his dad!' a third chipped in and a fourth added: 'I thought this was Robert for a moment! What a beautiful couple.' Robert was born in December 2003 and was just two years old when his father Steve tragically died in September 2006, after being struck by a stingray while filming on the Great Barrier Reef. It was Steve's father, Bob, who built the iconic Australia Zoo from the ground up in 1970 and passed it on to his late son and his wife Terri in 1992. Last month, Terri opened up about her life together with her late husband. In a recent interview, an emotional Terri shared details about her 14-year marriage to the famed conservationist and admitted she wishes he was still here. 'I think the best part [of our marriage] was just the fun and the adventure,' Terri told Us Weekly magazine. 'Steve was probably the most spontaneous person. Everyone says live every day to its fullest, but we never quite do that every day. 'And Steve really, really did. I think there really isn't a word in our language for the opposite of a procrastinator, but that was Steve. He was such a "do it now guy".' Elsewhere in the chat, the grandmother celebrated her children Bindi, 26, and Robert, 21, as well as her four-year-old granddaughter Grace Warrior.
