Drake Shows Off Renovations to Air Drake Private Jet: ‘Ca$tle in the Sky'
Drizzy upgraded the Boeing 767 with renovations across the board as he redesigned the interior to give the plane a 'more luxurious, warmer' aesthetic that now feels more like a plush lounge compared to the 'old and pink' vibe.

'When I first got my plane, I was in this hangar. It's, like, probably one of the craziest moments of my life,' he said. 'I actually didn't believe it until [Cargojet CEO Ajay Virmani] told me, 'I'm gonna get you the biggest jet in the game out of anybody, like, it'd be like you and the president, that's it.''
Drake began the tour showing off his master bedroom. 'The most important room right off the rip,' he quipped. Drizzy headed to the main lounge filled with custom designer pillows and a Stake gaming table for anyone who gets the casino itch while riding through the clouds.
There are three additional guest bedrooms for those looking to catch up on some sleep and a movie theater to relax and get lost in some blockbusters while passing time in the air.
'THE NEW AIR DRAKE CA$TLE IN THE SKY,' Drizzy captioned the post as Ludacris and PARTYNEXTDOOR showed him love. Comedian Lil Duval even joked: 'He could fit my poass plane in his plane!'
Drake reportedly received Air Drake as a gift from Cargojet in 2019, featuring a paint job from the late designer Virgil Abloh.
'We have had a lengthy relationship with Drake and this partnership has grown organically between both parties. Cargojet and Drake are both great Canadian successes. We are thrilled to be partnering together,' Virmani said in 2019.
Drake teased a redesign of his Air Drake last year as part of his 100 Gigs content drop. On the music side, Drizzy seemingly kicked off the Iceman rollout of his upcoming album with the 'What Did I Miss' single, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

'Sense and Sensibility': What We Know So Far About the New Adaptation Starring Daisy Edgar-Jones
Good news has arrived for Jane Austen fans. The author's classic novel, Sense and Sensibility, is returning to the big screen. (The book was previously made into the Oscar-winning 1995 film starring Emma Thompson and Kate Winslet.) Here's everything we know about the remake. Sense and Sensibility follows the three Dashwood sisters and their mother, now a widow, in 18th-century England. The family is forced to leave their lavish Sussex family estate and move in with a distant relative who lives in a quaint cottage. There, the two eldest sisters, Elinor and Marianne, begin contrasting journeys of love and loss. Daisy Edgar-Jones is set to lead the film. She'll play Elinor Dashwood, the eldest sister of the three siblings. In her ELLE US cover story, Edgar-Jones spoke about the importance of playing layered characters. 'It's great that more and more stories are being made with women front and centre,' she said. 'It's also an interesting thing, being a woman in your 20s, wanting to find characters who are not always ingenues. You want to find characters with agency. I want every character I play to be complicated and deep and have layers to them, because that's what it is to be human. I feel lucky that a lot of the characters I've played have had that. They aren't defined by their actions or their experiences, or by the men in their life.' Edgar-Jones celebrated the Sense and Sensibility news on Instagram in a photo posted today that shows her holding the book. She wrote a simple caption, '👀.' On July 11, Deadline reported that Esmé Creed-Miles (Hanna) has been cast as Marianne Dashwood, Elinor's emotional and impulsive sister. Miles shared an Instagram post celebrating the big news with shots of the book and her script side-by-side with Edgar Jones's. On July 21, Variety reported that Caitríona Balfe (Outlander), George MacKay (1917), Fiona Shaw (Killing Eve), Frank Dillane (Fear the Walking Dead), Herbert Nordrum (The Worst Person in the World), and Bodhi Rae Breathnach (So Awkward Academy) have joined the cast. Balfe will play Mrs. Dashwood, Elinor and Marianne's mother; MacKay will play Edward Ferrars, Elinor's love interest; Shaw will play Mrs. Jennings, the woman whom the sisters stay with in London; Dillane will play John Willoughby, Marianne's first love interest; Nordrum will play Colonel Brandon; Marianne's other love interest; and Rae Breathnach will play Margaret, Elinor and Marianne's younger sister. The Sense and Sensibility remake will be brought to you by Focus Features and Working Title Films. Georgia Oakley (Blue Jean) will direct, and the bestselling author Diana Reid (Love & Virtue) will write the screenplay. Yes! According to Reid, the film was set to start shooting in July 2025, and it has. Filming has officially commenced in the United Kingdom. Not yet, though according to Focus Features, 'it's coming soon.' This story will be updated. ELLE Collective is a new community of fashion, beauty and culture lovers.

Diogo Jota's wife posts ‘forever' tribute to mark one month since wedding
Rute Cardoso, the wife of Diogo Jota, has paid tribute to her late husband, marking a month since the couple got married. Liverpool and Portugal star Jota died in a car crash in Spain on July 3 at the age of 28 along with his 25-year-old brother André Silva – who was also a professional footballer. In a post on Instagram, Cardoso shared photographs from their wedding day on June 22, along with an emotional message. '1 month since our 'til death do us part,'' she said Tuesday, adding she was 'forever' his. Jota married his long-term partner Cardoso less than two weeks before the crash. The couple had three children together. The soccer world has rallied behind the family since Jota's death. His funeral was attended by many current players, including Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Portugal star Rúben Neves. Cardoso was pictured embracing other mourners as she arrived at the church ahead of the ceremony on July 5. Liverpool, the team Jota was playing for before his death, has since retired his No. 20 shirt. A mural of the star has also been painted on a wall in the city. Jota was a vital part of Liverpool's recent success, lifting the Premier League trophy at the end of last season. He was also part of the Portugal national team which won the Nations League in June this year, having also won the competition in 2019. CNN's Aleks Klosok contributed to this report.
