This Brand Wants to Make You Sporty, Rich—and Now, Sexy
The 31-year-old Los Angeles entrepreneur was talking about her fashion brand, which hit $34 million in revenue last year, but also the world she's been building on Instagram for the last 10 years. In Oberg-land, 'health is wealth!' as its peppy sweatshirts and phone cases shout. Sporty & Rich women go riding and play tennis in short shorts, throw camel coats over their skimpy Pilates outfits and idolize Princess Diana in her bike-short era. Visual references include vintage lad magazines Playboy and Lui, as well as modern-day 'girls by the pool half-naked in a hoodie,' Oberg said. This carnal mix of imagery has helped market the brand's athleisure, ready-to-wear, accessories, beauty products and sellout sneaker and apparel collaborations with Adidas.

Why Prince William and Prince Harry are forbidden from inheriting Princess Diana's childhood home
Prince William and Prince Harry are reportedly not set to inherit Princess Diana's childhood home. Princess Diana grew up in Althorp House and spent much of her childhood there. The estate has actually belonged to the Spencer family since 1508, and is the official seat of Earl Spencer—which is Diana's brother Charles, who currently owns the property. Charles has four kids of his own, and despite the fact that all three of his daughters (Lady Kitty, Lady Eliza, and Lady Amelia) are older, his son, Louis, Viscount Althorp, will inherit the estate due to primogeniture (a feudal rule dictating that the rights to an estate pass to the eldest son). In other words, Prince William and Prince Harry aren't even in the line-up of possibilities—despite the home being their mother's final resting place, as per The Post. Lady Kitty actually spoke out about being skipped over, saying she's "totally pro-gender equality," but is "quite happy" with Althorp being passed to her little brother. "I just think it's the correct way," she explained to Tatler. "I like that the house stays within the same family, with the same surname. I wouldn't want it any other way for the Spencers. And I just know my brother is going to do an impeccable job." Charles Spencer also spoke about the outdated tradition, telling the Daily Mail "It's just the way it is. I get the problems with it as a concept. I also get the strengths of it, having worked to date."

Tom Hanks, who portrayed Jim Lovell in ‘Apollo 13,' pays tribute to the late astronaut
Tom Hanks is honoring the real-life hero that he once portrayed in a popular, Oscar-winning film. After the death of astronaut Jim Lovell was announced on Friday, Hanks shared a poignant social media post to his Instagram, writing, 'There are people who dare, who dream, and who lead others to places we would not go on our own.' 'Jim Lovell, who for a long while had gone farther into space and for longer than any other person of our planet, was that kind of guy,' Hanks added in the post. The actor portrayed Lovell in the 1995 Ron Howard-directed film 'Apollo 13,' which told the story of Lovell's failed lunar space mission which almost cost him and his crew their lives in 1970. Apollo 13 would have marked NASA's third successful crewed moon landing, but during the ill-fated mission – which carried Lovell as well as astronauts John Swigert Jr. and Fred Haise Jr. on board – an oxygen tank located on the crew's service module exploded when they were about 200,000 miles (322,000 kilometers) away from Earth. Lovell famously delivered the news to mission control, saying 'Houston, we've had a problem.' The exchange was later immortalized by Hanks in the 'Apollo 13' movie, which costarred Gary Sinise, Kevin Bacon, Ed Harris, Kathleen Quinlan and the late Bill Paxton. With the damage effectively taking out their power source and other life support supplies, the Apollo 13 crew had to abruptly abandon their trek to the lunar surface and use several engine burns to swing around the far side of the moon and put themselves on a course back toward Earth. The three-person crew made a high-stakes splashdown return in the South Pacific Ocean about three days after the tank explosion, marking the conclusion of what has come to be known as the 'successful failure' of the Apollo missions. 'His many voyages around Earth and on to so-very-close to the moon were not made for riches or celebrity, but because such challenges as those are what fuels the course of being alive – and who better than Jim Lovell to make those voyages,' Hanks wrote in his tribute on Friday. Lovell died at age 97 on Thursday in Lake Forest, Illinois, according to a NASA news release, CNN previously reported. The cause of death was not immediately clear. He made a brief cameo in the movie as the captain of the USS Iwo Jima, the Navy ship that recovered the Apollo 13 crew after splashdown. 'Apollo 13' was nominated for nine Oscars, including best picture, and won two, for best film editing and best sound.

Bella Astillah addresses controversy with Sophia Albarakbah: I choose to move forward
11 Aug - Bella Astillah broke her silence surrounding the controversy that sparked between her and Sophia Albarakbah, stating that she just wants to move forward. Sharing her thoughts on 9 August on Instagram, the singer, who posted a photo of her and Muar MP Syed Saddiq following their Hottest Couple Goal win at the Anugerah Melodi Terhangat, said that she is thankful to the organiser for the recognition and will think of it as an extraordinary experience. "After a week of reflection and listening to all sides, I choose to focus on the good things that came from that night and to continue moving forward. Anyway, it was your love and support that I consider the biggest gift of all," she added. Netizens have blasted TV3 and the team of Melodi, after the awards show intentionally arranged for Bella and Syed Saddiq to present the Hottest Female Celebrity award to Sophia, accusing them of using the history between the two women artistes for ratings. Fans of both stars called it a "cheap publicity" for the fact that Sophia was once romantically linked to Bella's ex-husband Aliff Aziz. (Photo Source: Bella IG, Sophia IG)
