Leighton Meester on Hot Rabbi husband Adam Brody, love of Gossip Girl role, and children
When Adam Brody became the internet's boyfriend a few months back, people started acting weird around Leighton Meester.

Of course, long before audiences became obsessed with Brody's turn as a hot rabbi in Netflix's Nobody Wants This, both he and Meester were cemented in the pop culture firmament as teen drama icons.
She was Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf. He was The OC's Seth Cohen. And it warmed everyone's cold little hearts that actors from two beloved mid-aughts shows had ended up together in real life.
But when the couple – who have been married since 2014 – showed up at the Golden Globes in January, the vibes were off. Reporters on the red carpet could not stop fawning over Brody during interviews, to the point where he had to step in and attempt to make things less awkward.
'Your date is the Hot Rabbi,' an Entertainment Tonight host gushed to Meester.

'And she's my real shiksa goddess,' Brody duly pointed out.

Shakira cancels World Pride concert over ‘unforeseen circumstances'
One day before the kick-off concert for World Pride 2025 in Washington DC, headlining performer Shakira has abruptly cancelled due to equipment difficulties. Advertisement 'We are deeply disappointed that unforeseen circumstances have forced the cancellation' of the concert, the Capital Pride Alliance, the main World Pride organiser, said in a statement on Friday. 'Updates about the relocated Opening Ceremony programme will be released as soon as they are finalised!' The multiplatinum singer had been scheduled to headline the opening celebrations on Saturday night at Nationals Park in the US capital.

Victoria Beckham on why ‘now is the time' for Netflix series about her journey in fashion
For someone who has been famous since the late 1990s, Victoria Beckham is surprisingly busy in the 2020s. After many years of making a loss, her eponymous fashion company saw revenue growth of more than 50 per cent in 2023, and shrank its operating losses before tax to £2.9 million (about US$3.9 million), putting it on the road to profitability, no small thing for an independent luxury fashion brand. Beckham also introduced a successful fragrance line two years ago, and became the accidental star of a Netflix documentary series about her husband, football star David Beckham. Her charming, funny cameos showed a playful and relatable side to the megawatt couple who wore matching purple Versace wedding outfits. This year is looking no less buzzy for Victoria. For the first time ever she showed her resort collection in person, rather than digitally, at a glamorous trunk show at Centurion New York, where American Express' Centurion members could have an early pick of the pieces.

'It's hard work and determination that has built the brand into what it is now, and why I'm so proud as an independent brand to be able to say I'm profitable,' she said in an interview.

Coming full circle for the artistic director of Cirque du Soleil's Kooza
I WAS BORN IN St Petersburg, Florida, in 1984. My mum called me Mr Sparkles or Mr Showman. I was always putting on a show. I was always entertaining whoever was around. I definitely had something. That's why I think they encouraged me to go into theatre. There was just something a little different. They recognised something special. Advertisement NO ONE KNEW I could sing until I was probably nine or 10. When they heard me sing in the school choir, that was when it turned into 'put him in lessons and let's help facilitate that as much as we can'. Jamieson Lindenberg in his youth.

That is where A performing-arts high school for theatre and dance. My core education and training vocally as an artist was in this conservatory as a young adult. That is where Cirque du Soleil came to recruit ushers. We did an interview and they offered me a position as an usher for a show called Quidam that was playing at the Tropicana Field (in St Petersburg). That was my first job. I was 15. I'D NEVER HEARD OF Cirque du Soleil, but I was absolutely blown away by what I was seeing. I was studying theatre, so it was quite a contrast to Broadway, which is what I went on to do.

Photo: courtesy Jamieson Lindenberg I BROKE SOME OF the rules – I was very late to work as a 15-year-old high-school student is – and I was let go. I was disappointed, but didn't even think about Cirque or that I could ever perform or be involved in that capacity because I finished school for theatre.
