Edward Enninful's EE72 Launches Website, 72 Magazine
Edward Enninful's EE72, a media and entertainment company he announced in February, is set to launch an eponymous digital platform and a quarterly print publication, 72 Magazine, which will cover fashion, beauty, luxury and culture, this September.
The EE72 website will provide 'thought-provoking storytelling, exclusive interviews, and deep explorations into the forces shaping our creative world,' according to a company statement. It will be led by head of content Simone Olivier, who previously held editorial leadership roles at The New York Times, Refinery29 and Allure, while Sarah Harris, the former editor-at-large of British Vogue, will join as editorial director of both the EE72 website and 72 Magazine. Lee Swillingham and Stuart Spalding, former creative director duo of British Vogue and Harper's Bazaar Italia and co-founders of London-based creative agency Suburbia, will lead the magazine's creative direction.
The news marks the first major initiative from EE72, Enninful's much-anticipated next act after leaving his posts as European editorial director of Vogue and editor-in-chief of British Vogue in March 2024 after four and six years respectively. He is spearheading the venture alongside his sister, talent agent Akua Enninful, who serves as CEO.
'This launch with a dedicated publication [is a shining example] of our vision to champion creative integrity and collaboration,' co-founders Edward and Akua Enninful said in a joint statement. 'We are excited to share an editorial world that reflects the cultural shifts shaping today's landscape.'

James Whale gives update on ‘very difficult' situation amid terminal cancer diagnosis
Radio presenter James Whale has said that his situation is 'very, very difficult', after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. The 74-year-old broadcaster has been living with stage four kidney cancer for the past five years, telling listeners in May that he had stopped treatment and was 'at the end of [his] cancer journey'. During Friday's (6 June) episode of his series James Whale Unleashed, broadcast on talkRADIO and TalkTV, Whale addressed a guest whose husband had died of cancer. 'Until very recently, everything was quite normal for me, everything was fine, and then you do get to a stage like I am now, and things get to be very, very difficult,' said Whale. 'To anybody else who is in the final stages of cancer, you have my sympathy. I know exactly what you're going through. I do know, I look basically okay, I get told I look OK – it's all make-up.' Whale has been a fixture of British radio and TV for five decades and was awarded an MBE for his services to broadcasting and to charity in the 2024 New Year Honours List. He was first diagnosed with cancer in 2000, with treatment requiring him to remove one of his kidneys. Whale's first wife, Melinda Maxted, died of lung cancer in 2018. In 2020, Whale revealed that his own cancer had returned in his kidney, spine, brain and lungs. He spoke about his condition last month on air, suggesting that he intended to continue work as a radio and TV host for 'another few months'. 'I'm at the end of my cancer journey,' he said, alongside Talk co-host Ash Gould. 'There is no treatment I can have anymore. I'm hoping to go on for another few months, but as soon as I can't do the show anymore, I won't.' 'I can't tell you how grateful I am to Talk to actually let me on the air and sit next to Ash, which is a real pain in the butt, but I've been doing it for 25 years!'

Ted Lasso's Hannah Waddingham Says ‘More People Should Talk About' How ‘Exhausting' Motherhood Is
Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham wishes more people would be open about how exhausting motherhood can truly be. 'Thank God she is the utter joy of my life because it is unyielding responsibility,' Waddingham, 50, told The Sunday Times of her 10-year-old daughter in an interview published on Saturday, June 7. 'I feel like more people should talk about how exhausting it is,' she added, chuckling. 'Not only physically showing up for them but being the best version of yourself, because they respond to actions far more than words.' Waddingham, who does not name her daughter publicly, told the outlet that she decided she wanted to have a child when she was single in her 30s — but that the path to parenthood was a difficult one. The Best Celebrity Parenting Quotes of 2024, From Angelina Jolie to Ryan Reynolds 'I was told I couldn't have children and then I went down the eastern medicine route, had my body balanced out,' she explained. On her 40th birthday, after conceiving her daughter without any medical intervention, she took her baby girl home. Later, Waddingham separated from her daughter's father, Gianluca Cugnetto, an Italian businessman. At 50, she's raising her daughter as a single mother, telling the outlet that after her daughter suffered a health scare when she was 3 she only picks jobs that work with and for her life as a single mom. '[She's] my greatest champion and my most horrific critic,' Waddingham said of her daughter, who is now also showing an interest in the entertainment business after starring in a school production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. 'She feels such a sense of vitality from that, which I love, but I just want her to know that for 22 years I would be on stage thinking, 'Am I going to make the last Tube?' the proud mom says of her own struggles to make it in Hollywood before landing her breakout role in Apple TV's hit series Ted Lasso. Jason Sudeikis' Rare Quotes About Fatherhood While Coparenting With Ex Olivia Wilde: 'Being Present Is a Good Quality' 'I need her to be aware that I really grafted for 22 years,' she added. 'Life is not being picked up by a black Mercedes.' After more than two decades struggling to make it as an onscreen actor, the work has more than paid off — especially when it comes to what her newfound fame has made possible for her family. 'I've just become more known,' Waddingham said. 'Being afforded the luxury of the kind of roles that I always knew I could play and, as a single mum, the luxury of being able to put my daughter in great schools. It does give you freedom. I genuinely don't give a s*** about fame. I never have. I never will.'

ASCAP GOLDEN NOTE AWARD TO BE PRESENTED TO MICK HUCKNALL TO MARK SIMPLY RED'S 40TH ANNIVERSARY LOLA YOUNG TO RECEIVE ASCAP VANGUARD AWARD IMAGES LONDON, June 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ASCAP, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers, today announced that it will present two of its most prestigious awards to Mick Hucknall and Lola Young. As part of a VIP celebration of its incredible UK talent, ASCAP will present the ASCAP Golden Note Award to mark 40 years of success for Mick Hucknall and Simply Red.

With over 60 million albums sold worldwide, five UK #1 albums, two billion streams across streaming platforms worldwide, and over one million YouTube subscribers, Mick Hucknall's Simply Red remain one of the UK's most successful bands. Hucknall formed Simply Red in 1985 in Manchester and enjoyed early success with first single "Money's Too Tight to Mention" and the Brit Award-nominated album Picture Book. This was followed by their breakthrough to superstardom and global hits. Simply Red have recently embarked on their 2025 40th Anniversary Tour across South America, Europe and the UK. The event will also see the presentation of the ASCAP Vanguard Award to South London singer-songwriter Lola Young. The award recognizes ASCAP members whose innovative work is helping to shape the future of music.

"It is exciting to see the world recognize her talent and we know she will reach even greater heights with her career. We look forward to presenting her with the ASCAP Vanguard Award in recognition of her growing list of achievements." Lola Young recently won the Rising Star Award at the Ivors 2025, and boasting over one billion all-time streams globally across her catalogue of releases, she continues to achieve tremendous success. Her platinum-certified #1 single "Messy" from her acclaimed 2024 album, This Wasn't Meant for You Anyway, held the top spot in the UK for four consecutive weeks, making Lola one of only two British female artists to reach #1 in the UK singles chart within the last year. At 24, she is also the youngest British artist to have a #1 single since Dave with "Starlight" in 2022, while "Messy" becomes the first #1 solo single from the youngest British female artist since Dua Lipa with "New Rules" in 2017.
