Olivia Jade shares major life update with college admissions scandal in rearview
The 25-year-old influencer and daughter of actor Lori Loughlin and fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, posted a YouTube vlog Wednesday, where she started off by wishing her followers a 'Good morning from Paris.'
'This is going to be such a fun adventure to film and I'm here for a little while living,' she said. 'So, I'm really excited to get some videos out for you guys. It's just going to be such an exciting, formative time.'
Giannulli did not explain to her 1.8 million YouTube subscribers why she decided to move to an entirely new country, but did let them know what she's been up to as she walked to go grab coffee.
She also talked about her experience in Paris thus far and the Paris Fashion Week events she attended.

'I've just had a really crazy busy week since being in Paris,' she said. 'I did the Patou show, the Chanel show, which was amazing. Then we took the train to London.'
'Now I'm back home in Paris. I'm living in Paris for a little while. That's the update,' she added.
Giannulli continued the vlog by teasing the rest of her Parisian adventures as she said, 'A lot more fun, exciting change is also coming in the future, which I'm so excited to share with you guys. I'm hopefully launching my business at the end of this year. There's just a lot going on, and it's all really good and really exciting.'
The move comes six years after her mother and father were among 33 wealthy parents who were charged with trying to rig the American college admissions system. They admitted to paying half a million dollars to guarantee their daughters – Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose Giannulli – admission to the University of Southern California (USC) under false pretenses.
In October 2020, Loughlin was sentenced to two months in prison, while the designer was sentenced to five months. In addition to the prison sentence, Loughlin was ordered to pay a $150,000 fine and perform 100 hours of community service. Under his own plea deal, Loughlin's husband was ordered to pay a $250,000 fine and perform 250 hours of community service.
Months later, Giannulli broke her silence about the college admissions scandal during an appearance on Red Table Talk. 'I think that what hasn't been super public is that there is no justifying or excusing what happened,' she said during the episode, which aired in December 2020. 'Because what happened was wrong.'
Since then, Giannulli has joked about the scandal on her YouTube channel, telling her followers last year that she was looking forward to her kitchen 'not feeling like a prison.'
Giannulli went on to acknowledge how viewers would mock her for the prison reference, with jokes about her parents' college admission scandal. 'Save the jokes,' she said. 'Don't want to hear it. I set you up, and I don't want you to tee off, okay?'

Anne Nolan 'emotional' at cancer update and says late sister Linda would be 'pleased'
The Nolans star has shared she is now cancer free after going through treatment with sister Linda, who died in January. What did you miss? Anne Nolan has admitted she feels "emotional" at the news she is cancer-free as her sisters Linda and Bernie had the same illness but did not survive. She said she was sure late sister Linda is "looking down and thinking, 'thank goodness'" after they went through treatment together. The Nolans singer was diagnosed with breast cancer for the second time in 2020, just a week before Linda was also told that her cancer had returned. The sisters supported each other through chemotherapy during the Covid pandemic, but Linda died in January. Anne, who also lost sister Bernie to cancer 12 years ago, told Good Morning Britain that she had been thinking of her sisters during her final check up this year, and was grateful for Linda's positive attitude during the toughest days of their treatment. What, how and why? The Nolan family have gone through many tough moments with cancer, but Anne opened up on her happy news that she was cancer free in Monday, 28 July's Good Morning Britain and said she was sure late sister Linda would be delighted for her. Speaking about her most recent diagnosis and treatment, Anne, who has had breast cancer twice, admitted that it had been a bittersweet moment finding out that her cancer was gone, as she reflected on losing two of her sisters to the same disease. "It's been very traumatic," she said. "When I received the letter that said NHS, I thought I don't want to know and I put it aside for 10 I opened it and it was good news, I had a bit of a weep. It was just everything really, I felt lucky, blessed, relieved and then emotional thinking about my sisters having gone through the same thing but not survived." Host Ed Balls told her: "(Linda) would be so pleased at your news." Anne agreed: "I'm sure she will be, I'm sure she'll be looking down and thinking, 'thank goodness'."

Talking about going through cancer alongside her sister, she said: "I had breast cancer in 2000, 20 years ago. Almost to the day, I got it again in 2020. Linda received her diagnosis about a week after me and we went through it together during Covid. "Most people were on their own, but Linda and I were there to support each other. We had our chemo together, she was the one who called us the chemo sisters. She was always in a good mood, always kept me going. It was great to have her support. "Then when her cancer spread and she didn't survive, when I got my letter to say I was clear of cancer...I rang the (end of treatment) bell five years ago when I finished my chemo, but then you have another five years before you're told the cancer hasn't come back. I had a mammogram every year, my last one was in May and I did think about Linda and Bernie." What is the Nolans' history with cancer? The Nolans have been through more cancer diagnoses than most families, with many of the siblings having shared updates on their treatment over the years. Bernie died from breast cancer in 2013, and Linda died in January 2025. Linda was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2005 and was told it had gone by 2011. In 2017, she was diagnosed with secondary breast cancer, which was contained within her hip and pelvis. In 2020, the cancer spread to her liver and three years later to her brain. She died in January after sharing regular health updates with her fans. Bernie was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010, and it then returned again in 2012. She was told that it was incurable and died less than a year later in 2013. In 2023, Coleen shared that she had been treated for skin cancer, but said that it had been successfully removed. Good Morning Britain airs on ITV1 at 6am on weekdays.

The Oasis Effect: Which bands should reunite next?
No one thought that the Gallagher brothers would be able to bury the hatchet, but lo and behold, Oasis reunited after 16 years away from the stage and are currently selling out their Live '25 tour. Which begs the question: If Liam and Noel can put their volatile ways behind them and patch things up, who else can get back on the road for a (highly lucrative) tour? Some reunion yearnings are wishful thinking - bordering on pipe dreams - while others will just never happen. And maybe it's for the best. We're looking at you, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Smiths and Fleetwood Mac. However, with Jenny Lewis' band Rilo Kiley hitting the road once more after nearly 20 years apart; Aerosmith's Joe Perry stating that the band could reunite for a proper send-off after their farewell tour was abandoned in 2023 due to Steven Tyler sustaining damage to his vocal chords; and underappreciated British post-rockers Hope Of The States recently announcing a comeback after 18 years of inactivity, anything's possible... Here are our five picks for the musical acts we'd like to see play together again. R.E.M. When American alternative rockers R.E.M. split in 2011 after more than three decades together, frontman Michael Stipe said there would be no reunion. That was that. Not that there was ever any bad blood: they simply called it quits because they accomplished everything they wanted. "We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality, and of astonishment at all we have accomplished,' the band stated at the time. 'To anyone who ever felt touched by our music, our deepest thanks for listening." Fair enough. What are the odds? Slim, but Stipe, Mike Mills, Peter Buck and Bill Berry did come together last year to perform 'Losing My Religion' at the Songwriters Hall of Fame induction ceremony... It had been 15 years since they last played live, and while it was billed as a one-off, it was great seeing and hearing them perform together again. The band also reissued their debut single 'Radio Free Europe' in May to help out the real and financially struggling titular organisation. Hope springs eternal... Daft Punk The French duo who were at the center of the French Touch movement may not be together anymore, but they remain one of the most influential acts in electronic dance music. Between 1997 and 2013, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo released four albums. Seven if you count the 2010 Tron: Legacy soundtrack and both 1997 and 2007 live albums. Then, in 2021, they announced their split – explosively. And during the height of Covid, no less. Taking off masks during a pandemic? What were they thinking?? Since then, fans have been clamoring for a comeback... What are the odds? Don't hold your breath. Even the Paris Summer Olympic Games couldn't get them back on stage last year. Since their break, Homem-Christo and Bangalter still share a studio, with the latter releasing a solo orchestral album called 'Mythologies'. Still, it hasn't been that long since they disbanded – give them time. We hold out hope. Outkast Big Boi (Antwan Patton) and André 3000 (André Benjamin) formed one of the most influential hip-hop acts out there, and their six studio albums remain joys to listen to. Especially the back-to-back triumphs of 'Aquemini' (1998), 'Stankonia' (2000) and 'Speakerboxxx/The Love Below' (2003). We miss them. What are the odds? It's feasible. It's been more than 10 years since Outkast have performed together, and enough's enough. Granted, pressures to succeed led to the duo's hiatus, but considering a hiatus can be more likened to an ellipsis than a clean break, there's still a chance. And while André 3000 seems content with releasing new-age woodwind music right now (as well as underwhelming 'piano sketches'), the fact that Outkast were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year feels like another reminder that the boys should get back in the studio and prove that their sixth studio album 'Idlewild' (2006) needn't be their swansong. Talking Heads Another legendary act in need of a comeback... The art rock pioneers wowed everyone from the late 70s to the late 80s with classic albums like 'Talking Heads: 77', 'Fear of Music' and the peerless 'Remain in Light'. Then there's that live album to beat all live albums: 1984's 'Stop Making Sense'. The band released their last album, 'Naked', in 1988, before splitting in 1991... Understandably so, as the members aren't huge fans of each other. David Byrne has acknowledged the tensions, while bassist Tina Weymouth once described the frontman as 'a man incapable of returning friendship.' Ouch. Add to that drummer Chris Frantz writing some scathing passages about Byrne in his autobiography, and you've got yourself four music legends who are happier apart. What are the odds? We nearly got there this year. Or so we thought. The band had been teasing an announcement last month, and fans were hoping for a reunion. It turned out to be the first ever music video for their iconic hit 'Psycho Killer', starring Saoirse Ronan – released to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Talking Heads' live debut. Still, baby steps and all that... David Byrne's solo career continues – with the release of 'Who Is The Sky?' in September – and he described the relationship between all four members of Talking Heads as 'cordial'. A significant improvement. Still, any plans for a reunion don't seem to be on the cards. People have tried though: Billboard reported that Coachella had offered them $80 million for a reunion in 2024. The offer was declined. Anyone got a spare $100m tucked away somewhere? The Fugees In 1996, Lauryn Hill, Wyclef Jean and Pras Michael released their second album, 'The Score', and it became the best-selling hip-hop album by a group in history - with 22 million copies sold worldwide. They split up – acrimoniously - at the height of their success in 1997, with each member going solo. A year later, Hill dropped her groundbreaking debut solo album, 'The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill', which also went on to shatter records and cement the artist as the reigning queen of hip-hop. What are the odds? As the French would(n't) say: il y a du boeuf. Chronicling the beef between The Fugees members would make this article endless, and their drama makes the Gallagher brothers' tiffs look like child play. Put simply: there's no love lost. To put it mildly. Before you lose all hope for a reunion, the band did reform between 2004 and 2007. They toured together but once again, the relationships between them deteriorated. In 2007, Pras told "Before I work with Lauryn Hill again, you will have a better chance of seeing Osama Bin Laden and (George W.) Bush in Starbucks having a latte, discussing foreign policies, before there will be a Fugees reunion.' Then, Wyclef Jean revealed in his 2012 autobiography 'Purpose' that his tumultuous affair with Lauryn Hill led to the band's ruin. The last chapter (so far) in this emotional rollercoaster came in 2021, when The Fugees announced a reunion tour to celebrate 25 years of 'The Score'. It was postponed due to COVID and rescheduled for August 2024... Before being quietly called off three days before the first show, with no reason given. Ready or Not? We've been ready for a while now. Please get it together. Which acts did we miss and who would you like to see on stage once more? The Oasis tour continues. After 19 dates in the UK and Ireland come stops in North and South America, Asia and Australia - ending in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on 23 November. Solve the daily Crossword

Reddit and Discord's UK age verification can be defeated by Death Stranding's photo mode
Enforcement of the UK's new online safety rules started on Friday, forcing a variety of platforms to roll out mandatory age verification tools for Brits. We already know that the age-gating checks are easy to bypass with a VPN, but what we didn't know is that the face scanning tools used by platforms like Reddit and Discord can also be easily bypassed with Death Stranding's photo mode. Dany Sterkhov alerted the world to the Death Stranding bypass on Friday morning, and gamers have been using the photo mode and Sam Bridges to trick face scanning tools into accepting them as an adult all weekend. All you have to do is point your phone at your monitor with Death Stranding open, activate the in-game photo mode, and then get Sam to look at the camera. I used this technique on Discord and the face scanning verification (k-ID) asked me to open and close Sam's mouth, so I obliged using the facial expressions in the photo mode. I did the same thing on Reddit, but this time the face scanning tool (Persona) asked me to move Sam's face around, so I panned the camera around until it was accepted. Both were completed within seconds, and it was unbelievably easy to bypass these age checks. Discord uses the k-ID face verification service, while Reddit uses the Persona service. Both services were fooled by the virtual Sam Bridges. I tried to bypass Bluesky's age verification, which uses the Yoti service, and it failed with the virtual Sam Bridges. Yoti says Instagram will also use its facial age estimation technology as an option 'for people who need to prove they are over 18.' This bypass not only lets adults verify as an adult on multiple services, but it also lets you avoid sharing your face or credit card details with yet another third-party company. It also means you don't have to pay for a VPN service to continuously bypass these age checks, as long as the service you want to access offers a face scanning option that falls victim to the virtual Sam Bridges.
