Shaken but not stirred, Blake ropes in A-list friends for red carpet roles
She's been making Hollywood headlines for all the wrong reasons of late – amid a toxic legal battle with her former director. But Blake Lively pulled out the big guns as A-listers supported her at the premiere of her latest film. And despite the strain from her clash with It Ends With Us co-star Justin Baldoni, Ms Lively's glass was evidently half-full as she sported an on-trend clutch bag resembling a Martini glass at an after-party in New York. Her leather-lined £5,500 Judith Leiber Couture clutch, adorned with crystals, is part of a growing celebrity penchant for bags that resemble foodstuffs or drinking vessels. Lauren Sanchez, fiancee of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, was recently seen out carrying a £4,350 Balenciaga coffee cup handbag. Meanwhile, Madonna, Kim Kardashian and even former US First Lady Hillary Clinton are also said to be fans of Hungarian-American designer Ms Leiber. Ms Lively, 37, was joined by her actor husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, at the screening of her latest movie Another Simple Favour in the Big Apple on Sunday. And Reynolds recruited good friend Hugh Jackman, 56, whom he starred alongside in Deadpool & Wolverine, to pose with his wife. Ms Lively, 37, was joined by her actor husband Ryan Reynolds, 48, at the screening of her latest movie Another Simple Favour in the Big Apple on Sunday The couple's other Hollywood pals, Oppenheimer star Emily Blunt, 42, and Conclave actor Stanley Tucci, 64, also showed their support as they hugged Ms Lively at the party. In December, Ms Lively accused Baldoni, 41, of sexual harassment and starting a smear campaign against her. Baldoni firmly denies that and has sued her in response. Their case is due to go to trial in March next year. Another Simple Favour comes out on Prime Video on May 1 in the UK.

Hungary's parliament votes to limit rights of dual nationals and LGBTQ+ people
Hungary's parliament has backed a range of constitutional amendments which will limit the rights of LGBTQ+ people and dual nationals. The amendments, which the government says are aimed at protecting children's physical and moral development, will enable it to ban public LGBTQ+ gatherings. Hundreds gathered outside parliament to protest against the move, which rights campaigners have labelled a "key moment in Hungary's shift toward illiberal governance". Prime Minister Viktor Orban, whose Fidesz party voted through the bill, vowed in March that an "Easter cleanup" of his critics was coming. The vote passed with 140 members voting for and 21 against. The amendments will also enable the government to temporarily suspend the citizenship of any Hungarian dual nationals who are deemed a threat to the country's security or sovereignty. Fidesz has suggested that the move is aimed at those who finance "bogus NGOs, bought politicians and the so-called independent media" from abroad - leading some to speculate it is, in part, intended to target Hungarian-American philanthropist George Soros, who Orban has frequently criticised. The amendments follow a law passed last month that banned LGBTQ+ pride marches on alleged grounds they are harmful to children. Orban praised the legislation at the time, saying: "We won't let woke ideology endanger our kids." Speaking to the BBC, opposition Momentum MP David Bedo said: "It's not just about pride, it's about any assembly that is organised by the opposition." "This is only the first step they're taking in this one year campaign, and we are going to see many more laws enacted and passed in parliament that is very much against any democracy or any rule of law," he added. Government spokesperson Zoltan Kovacs wrote on X that those in government viewed the changes as a "constitutional safeguard against ideological influences that they argue threaten the well-being of children, particularly in the context of events like Pride parades". The changes are seen by some within Hungary as an attempt to reshape the country's identity along Christian-conservative lines. Viktor Orban's party has been in office since 2010. But polls suggest that the new centre-right party Tisza is in the lead nationally ahead of next year's parliamentary election. Tisza, which wants a more constructive relationship with the EU, shot up in popularity after Peter Magyar, a one-time Fidesz politician, broke with the ruling party in February 2024 over what he said was its poor running of Hungary. The government hopes to force Peter Magyar to come out in favour of Pride - and thereby alienate his more conservative supporters. He has refused so far to take the bait.

Hungary set to restrict constitutional rights in 'Easter cleanup'
Hungary's parliament on Monday is expected to approve constitutional changes further clamping down on rights for LGBTQ+ people and other groups, part of Prime Minister Viktor Orban's "Easter cleanup" against his domestic opponents. Since his return to power in 2010, Hungary's nationalist leader has widely restricted the rights of the LGBTQ+ community, the media, courts and academia. In mid-March, he referred to critics as "stink bugs", vowing that an "Easter cleanup" was coming. The constitutional amendment — which proclaims that people can only be male or female — to be voted on Monday echoes moves on gender by Orban's "dear friend", U.S. President Donald Trump. The amendment also allows the "temporary" stripping of citizenship from some dual or multiple nationals, which could target billionaire George Soros, a Hungarian-American and a regular subject of populist conspiracy theories. Lawmakers are scheduled to vote shortly after 5:00 pm, with Orban's Fidesz and its smaller coalition partner holding a comfortable two-thirds majority. Small liberal party Momentum has called for the parliamentary building to be blockaded, and scheduled a protest for after the vote. Thousands of people have already protested recent legislative changes to facilitate the banning of an annual Pride Parade this June. Raft of changes Besides the provision proclaiming that people can only be male or female, another declares that children's rights for their "proper physical, mental and moral development take precedence over all other fundamental rights," except the right to life. That provision is seen as a way to strengthen the legal foundations for the prohibition of the Pride march. Another prominent provision empowers the government to temporarily strip Hungarian citizenship from dual or multiple nationals — even if they acquired their naionalities by birth. The governing party suggested the move is aimed at "speculators" financing "bogus NGOs, bought politicians and the so-called independent media" from abroad. A related piece of legislation — to be voted on at a later date — specifies that Hungarian citizenship can be suspended for a maximum of 10 years and those affected can be expelled from the country. Nationals from other EU member states would be exempt, together with a few other countries in Europe, according to the proposal. Last week, more than 30 prominent Hungarian legal experts castigated the measure as "an unprecedented construction in international law" that could contravene binding human rights conventions.

"You could consider this soft Putinism," said Szabolcs Pek, chief analyst at the think tank Iranytu Intezet. "People are not falling out of the window, but the government is increasingly limiting the space for opposition politicians, journalists and civil society," he said. Politically, the measures are seen as an effort to shore up dwindling support for the ruling coalition, divide the opposition along ideological lines and court the far right ahead of next spring's parliamentary election. Orban's legislative "boisterousness" is a bid to take back control of the public agenda, according to Pek. "In this respect, he has been successful, because public discourse is no longer about the failing public services or the weak economy," Pek said. Since last year, Orban has faced an unprecedented challenge from former government insider-turned-opposition leader Peter Magyar, with his TISZA party eroding Fidesz's longtime solid lead, according to several opinion polls. Pek stressed the Pride ban is a "trap" for Magyar: standing up for LGBTQ+ rights could lose him conservative supporters, but his current silence might drive leftwing and liberal voters to other opposition parties.
