Musk threatens to sue Apple over App Store Grok-snub feud
Elon Musk has threatened to sue Apple for not putting his artificial intelligence chatbot at the top of its download charts. The combative Tesla boss has found himself embroiled in another row with the iPhone maker and Sam Altman's OpenAI group. Accusing Apple of breaking competition laws, Musk said that it was 'impossible' for any other AI company besides OpenAI to top the App Store charts. He said apps including his social platform X, formerly Twitter, and AI tool Grok, were missing out. Musk said: 'Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach Number 1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation.' And he claimed that the App Store refuses to list either of his apps in its 'Must Have' section. The most downloaded free app on the App Store is OpenAI's ChatGPT, while Grok is at number six. In a scathing response, Open AI's Altman said: 'This is a remarkable claim given what I have heard alleged that Elon does to manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like.' The war of words is another instalment in a feud between Musk, the world's richest man worth £281billion, and Altman, who is worth around £2billion. Just last week, Altman dismissed Musk and said: 'I don't think about him that much.' He said it seemed as if Musk was 'just, like, tweeting all day [on X] about how much OpenAI sucks, and our model is bad, and, you know, we're not gonna be a good company and all that.' Musk and Altman founded OpenAI in 2015 but Musk left in 2019 and founded his own AI firm called xAI, which develops the chatbot Grok. Musk has also been involved in a spat with former ally US President Donald Trump. Their relationship soured in June when Musk criticised the president's tax policies. Apple last night did not comment on Musk's accusations. It is not the first time the tech giant has come under heat over its App store. It was fined £371million in July by the EU for breaching competition rules and was even threatened with higher penalties. The EU had ruled that Apple prevented app developers from directing consumers outside its own platform.

Bella Hadid goes braless under a semi-sheer cropped shawl as she launches latest perfume
Bella Hadid went braless as she announced the launch of her latest perfume on Tuesday. The model, 28, who unveiled her newest business venture in May, wore a semi-sheer cropped shawl in the racy Instagram update. She teamed the gold top with a pair of low-waist gingham trousers and flashed her taut midriff. Bella was in high spirits as she showed off the new gem from her collection, which she described as a 'woody, sweet, fruity skin parfum.' She added: 'Thank you to everyone for giving me the opportunity to live my dream not just in business, but in creativity. You keep us moving as a brand, and you keep me moving in my heart & soul. I'm so grateful.' Orebella is Bella's range of 'nourishing skin care fragrances' and is sold in luxury high street retailers such as Selfridges. Bella has taken some time away from the runway to focus on her Equestrian career and most recently competed at Horse Cutting championships in Las Vegas. Her cowboy boyfriend, Adan Banuelos, was at the show and held her hand as they rode out of the ring side by side. It's unclear how long Bella and Adan have been dating. They were first spotted together in October 2023, walking through the historic Fort Worth Stockyards. It seems Bella, who was trained in equestrian skills during her youth, has began training in cutting alongside her boyfriend. They went official on Valentine's Day 2024, when Hadid posted a picture of Banuelos in her Instagram Stories, calling him 'My Valentine.' She has since won several competitions. Banuelos praised her after she was crowned the National Cutting Horse Association's (NCHA) 2024 Limited Age Event (LAE) Rookie of the Year. In December—just a year after she began competing in the western‑style equestrian sport and only a couple of days after bagging another buckle—Bella earned that Rookie of the Year title. Banuelos celebrated by listing her achievements in his caption: 'First year out, Futurity Limited Am Reserve Champ ✔️ Amateur Rookie Of The Year ✔️.' Back in April, Hadid announced she would be taking a step back from modeling after moving to Texas with her partner. 'For the first time now, I'm not putting on a fake face. If I don't feel good, I won't go. If I don't feel good, I take time for myself,' she told Allure. 'And I've never had the opportunity to do that or say that before,' she continued. 'Now when anybody sees me in pictures and they say, I look happy, I genuinely am. I am feeling better; my bad days now were my old good days.'

Kesha sets pulses racing as she strips off and flashes her cleavage in raunchy bathroom snaps
Kesha set pulses racing as she stripped off and flashed her cleavage in raunchy bathroom snaps. The Tik Tok hitmaker, 38, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a raunchy message with fans. Posting a mirror selfie, Kesha could be seen wearing just a towel with her whole back exposed, as she appeared to have just got out of the shower with her hair wet. She captioned the snap: 'US leg of t**s out might be over… but t**s will be out forever.' In a post from several days before, Kesha posted yet another even racier selfie wearing just a towel. This time Kesha draped a towel over shoulder as she put on a busty display with her cleavage and toned torso on display. Earlier this year Kesha made an X-rated sex confession as she confirmed her romance with health-tech entrepreneur Michael Gilvary. The singer, who has been linked to the handsome businessman for a year, made a racy remark to TMZ when asked about their romance, Kesha cheekily retorted: 'We're not dating. I'm just using him for sex.' Kesha was previously linked to movie producer Riccardo Maddalosso in October 2023, but she reportedly got dumped by him for not inviting him to a party with Taylor Swift. The Tik Tok hitmaker went on to reveal on X what she wanted going forward. 'I mostly want a sugar daddy. I just never had one,' she wrote. In July 2024, Kesha was spotted with a sign that said 'I'm Single' during a night out in West Hollywood. Not long after she was spotted twice with Gilvary. They were seen dining at celeb-favorite Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica and stocking up on the essentials at a Whole Foods. Gilvary's LinkedIn page reveals he is an investor, entrepreneur and adviser with experience in healthcare, entertainment and consumer retail markets. He's the co-founder of health tech company AION – a pioneering company that led the advancements in wearable technology for patient care. Michael is also a professor at the Baruch School of Entrepreneurship, where he teaches entrepreneurship, strategy and management courses. He's currently a Managing Partner at The Ember Company.
