Keke Palmer shares financial mindset and explains why she keeps her rent at just $1,500
Keke Palmer may be a celebrated actress, singer, and author, but she's just as focused on saving money as she is on red carpet appearances. In a recent interview with CNBC, Palmer revealed how deeply she values financial discipline: 'I live under my means. If I have $1 million in my pocket, my rent is going to be $1,500—that's how underneath my means I'm talking.'
Palmer credits her parents for instilling strong financial habits early on. Speaking on the Club Shay Shay podcast last fall, she explained, 'I learned from my parents very early on because they knew their limitations with money and finances. I believe in saving and frugality…I don't play around with that.'
The True Jackson, VP star began her acting career at just nine years old, landing a role in Barbershop 2: Back in Business. By her teens, she had her own TV series and credit card. 'My parents, at their best, made $40,000 a year,' she recalled. 'I was making that a show.'
Palmer's disciplined approach to finances hasn't dulled her eye for fashion. In March 2025, she paid tribute to Christina Aguilera's early-2000s glam at Vanity Fair's Oscars party, donning a sheer crystallized Versace gown from the Italian label's spring 2004 collection. She put her own spin on the vintage look with a sleek ballerina bun, sculpted cheeks, and rhinestone-studded heels.
Palmer's blend of financial discipline and star presence continues to resonate with fans. Her candid insights offer inspiration to those seeking a balance between personal success and responsible living.

Everything you need to know about The Gentlemen season 2 – release date, cast, plot, filming updates, and more
Netflix has officially announced that filming is underway for Season 2 of The Gentlemen, the crime drama series created by filmmaker Guy Ritchie. Following the critical success of Season 1, which premiered in 2024 and was praised as one of Ritchie's finest works, the new season promises to expand the story's scope and tension. Guy Ritchie returns as creator, writer (alongside Matthew Read), and director, working with co-director Eran Creevy. Season 2 will continue the story of Eddie Horniman and Susie Glass, portrayed by Theo James and Kaya Scodelario, respectively. The returning cast includes Daniel Ings, Ray Winstone, Joely Richardson, Vinnie Jones, and more. Set one year after Eddie and Susie allied with Bobby Glass's international criminal network, the new season sees the duo trying to grow their empire amid Bobby's increasingly unstable leadership. This forces them into a difficult position—either take bold action or risk losing everything they've built. In a Netflix press release, Ritchie shared that the second season would 'deliberately expand both geographically and thematically,' moving between the English countryside and the Italian lakes. 'The stakes are heightened, the power dynamics are more precarious, and I'm thrilled to be collaborating once again with this exceptional cast and crew,' he added. Alongside the returning ensemble, the new season brings in high-profile talent including Hugh Bonneville, Benjamin Clementine, Benedetta Porcaroli, Michele Morrone, and Giancarlo Esposito, among others. The Gentlemen Season 2 is currently in production in the UK and will stream exclusively on Netflix. Fans can expect the same blend of dark humor, high-stakes crime drama, and Ritchie's signature stylized storytelling. Further updates are expected as filming progresses.

Dior shows Maria Grazia Chiuri's cruise collection in Rome
PARIS: French fashion house Dior showed creative director Maria Grazia Chiuri's cruise 2026 and fall-winter haute couture 2026 collections at a fashion show in the gardens of the Villa Albani Torlonia in Rome on Tuesday at night. Guests sat under transparent umbrellas as models marched past on a gravel walkway lined with hedges. They paraded sheer gowns covered with lacework, textured dresses with rows of ruffles and long, tailored coats - mostly in white, ivory and nude colors. A sharp-shouldered trench coat, military jackets and tailcoats over skirts brought contrast to the airy looks, as did a few dresses in red or black velvet. Billie Eilish takes top prize at American Music Awards After the show, Chiuri rounded the gardens for her bow as the audience stood, cheering and clapping, while mist rose from the gardens. The catwalk presentation, which drew on references to Italian cinema and theatre, follows last week's cruise fashion show from Louis Vuitton, another LVMH-owned label, in Avignon, France. The shows come as the luxury industry grapples with a prolonged slump in business, and a number of high-end fashion labels are seeking new creative direction to reignite interest from shoppers.

Jessica Alba spotted getting cozy with mystery man months after divorce
Actress and entrepreneur Jessica Alba was seen in London getting affectionate with an unidentified man, just three months after filing for divorce from Cash Warren, her husband of 16 years. According to eyewitnesses and photos obtained by media outlets, Alba, 44, was spotted in Regents Park on Sunday, May 18, walking hand-in-hand and kissing the man, whose identity remains unknown. The two reportedly looked 'very intimate,' renting deck chairs and showing signs of affection throughout the day. Photo: The Sun Alba wore a black cap, sweatshirt, and pants, while her companion sported a white baseball hat, black hoodie, and shorts. His face was not visible, though he appeared to have dark hair. This sighting follows earlier speculation about Alba's relationship status. In March, rumors linked her to comedian Alex Edelman after they were seen leaving an Oscars after-party together. However, sources close to the actress denied any romantic involvement, stating Edelman had simply lent Alba his jacket. Alba officially filed for divorce from Warren in February 2025, following their public announcement of separation a month earlier. The former couple cited mutual growth and personal evolution as reasons for parting ways, emphasizing their ongoing commitment to co-parenting their three children: Honor, Haven, and Hayes. A source close to the pair indicated there was no hostility between Alba and Warren, noting they had 'grown apart' and were navigating the separation with honesty and respect.
