Celebrities urge UK PM Keir Starmer to 'end UK complicity' in Gaza
Benedict Cumberbatch, Dua Lipa, Massive Attack, Danny Boyle, Tilda Swinton and Riz Ahmed are among the hundreds of celebrities urging UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer to 'end UK complicity' in Gaza. The request was put forward in an open letter to the PM, led by refugee charity Choose Love. As highlighted by Sky News, the letter demands that all UK arms sales to Israel be immediately suspended and that the government commit to seeking a ceasefire for 'the children of Gaza'. 'We urge you to take immediate action to end the UK's complicity in the horrors in Gaza,' it reads. The letter outlines that children in Gaza are starving, while adequate medicine and food 'sit just minutes away' – a reference to the 11-week blockade of supplies to Gaza by Israel, which was lifted last week. The letter states that 71,000 children under the age of four are 'acutely malnourished', and they 'cry until they can't cry anymore – until hunger takes even their voices'. 'You can't call it 'intolerable', yet do nothing,' it says directly to Starmer. Other famous signatories include Primal Scream, Annie Lennox, Lena Headey, Nicola Coughlan, Maxine Peake, Gary Lineker, Lily Cole and more. Activist Munroe Bergdorf, artist Tracey Emin and Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos have also signed the letter. The letter ends: 'The world is watching and history will not forget. The children of Gaza cannot wait another minute. Prime minister, what will you choose? Complicity in war crimes, or the courage to act?' It's been nearly five months since we lost visionary director David Lynch, and now his memorabilia are up for auction. Julien's Auctions and Turner Classic Movies (TCM) have announced the David Lynch Collection, which includes more than 450 items like Lynch's vinyl collection, books, scripts, paintings, instruments and treasured movie collectables. Even some of his woodshop tools and accessories. 'Julien's and TCM are honored to represent and offer to the public for the first time this incredible collection of one of the greatest and most revered filmmakers of all time, David Lynch,' Catherine Williamson, the managing director of entertainment at Julien's Auctions, said in a press release. 'These historical and cherished pieces reflecting David Lynch's singular artistic vision, as well as his passions and pursuits ranging from his director's chair, espresso machine to his guitar, record collections and Twin Peaks style decor, come directly from the home of the visionary artist whose enigmatic films stirred our most imaginative and collective surreal dreams.' You can check out the full collection here. Here are some of the ones we'd love to snap up: The chair is emblazoned with his name on the back in gold. The current bid at the time of writing is $7,000. An original Moviola Midget used for viewing 35mm film reels to assist in the editing process. Current bid: $1,250. Fancy setting up your own Black Lodge? Current bid: $1,750. Find your way to the place 'both wonderful and strange' with this map drawn and signed by David Lynch. Estimate: $40,000 – $60,000.

The live auction is set for 18 June on Julien's Auction's website and at their Gardena auction house. The revolution in the European fashion world continues. After the arrival of Georgian designer Demna Gvasalia at Gucci and Pierpaolo Piccioli at Balenciaga, as well as the departure of Donatella Versace, who sold the historic brand to the Prada group, a new change of chair has been announced by Dior today. Italian artistic director Maria Grazia Chiri is leaving the French maison of the LVMH group after nine years. "After nine years I am leaving Dior. I am delighted to have been given this extraordinary opportunity. Together we have written a great page of which I am immensely proud," Chiuri wrote in a note released on Thursday. The designer presented her latest collection on Tuesday in Rome in the gardens of Villa Albani. The fashion show was celebrated with a standing ovation and drew rave reviews from the press. "I express my heartfelt thanks to Maria Grazia Chiuri, who, since her arrival at Dior, has done an extraordinary job with a stimulating feminist perspective and exceptional creativity, all permeated by the spirit of Monsieur Dior, which has allowed her to design collections of great prestige. She has written a key chapter in the history of Christian Dior, contributing significantly to its extraordinary growth and being the first woman to lead the creation of women's collections," wrote Christian Dior Couture president and CEO Delphine Arnault on the fashion house's X account. It has not yet been announced who will replace Chiuri at the helm of the brand, but it is likely to be Jonathan Anderson, who replaced Kim Jones at the helm of Dior Homme since April. He could become the first designer to lead both the men's and women's collections of the Parisian fashion house.
