Natalie Portman's makeup artist takes anti-ageing gadget 'on every job'
Other stars such as Sienna Miller, Kate Beckinsale and Cynthia Erivo also credit the laser's skin benefits A celebrity makeup artist (MUA) who travels the globe painting famous faces such as Natalie Portman and Keira Knightley says there's one product she takes 'on every job'. The LYMA Laser effectively treats signs of ageing, such as wrinkles, pigmentation, sagging, and a lacklustre complexion. The actors' MUA, Romy Soleimani, says: "I take it on every single job with me because it's so easy to travel with." The clinical-grade cold laser device is also loved by other A-listers, including the likes of Sienna Miller, Kate Beckinsale, Cynthia Erivo and Dita Von Teese. LYMA Laser's lens has been specifically designed for optimal use on the face, neck and targeted areas of concern, such as knees. It is painless to use, and costs £1,999. The laser promises to speed up the rejuvenation process by 'switching back on' the cells responsible for collagen and elastin synthesis, and increasing energy reserves devoted to detoxification and hydration. The supercharged skin cells are then able to regenerate at a much faster rate resulting in firmer, brighter, younger-looking skin. LYMA also sells a Pro version retailing at £4,995. There are alternatives on the market, for instance, this LED Face Mask Series 2 from CurrentBody i s a market leader at £399. The LED face mask uses red light therapy to boost collagen production for younger-looking skin. It promises to reduce wrinkles by 30% and improve plumpness by 57%. Similarly, BeautyPro offers portable-friendly beauty devices, including its LED Wand Device (£79). The lightweight, LED light device is designed to visibly smooth and firm the look of skin by emitting red light therapy. Returning to LYMA's Laser, brand founder Lucy Goff commented: 'The original version of the LYMA Laser's technology was a gigantic floor-standing machine. Over 120 iterations, we got it down to a portable, painless - and yet incredibly powerful - little device. It's light, and easy to use when at home or on the move, because travel is integral to so many lives. "That's why it's also safe for hand luggage. It truly is the only device you need, and it fits perfectly into whatever routine you already have, whether at home on the sofa or while travelling.' LYMA's Laser has 150 customer reviews. One shopper rated it five stars, saying: "Though I haven't finished the full three months, I am seeing positive results on my 71-year-old skin. Nice smooth texture, lessening of fine lines, and maybe some reductions in my deep wrinkles. I have trouble doing it every day, but I do it 5-6 times a week." They added: "Must say, I do find the treatment very relaxing, and it is something I look forward to doing. I am planning to splurge on the Pro version - cutting the treatment time will help me be more consistent. Thanks for a great product and very responsive customer service." A second wasn't as pleased with the results, writing: "I'm having mixed feelings about this product I do like the laser but for what my reason for it I not sure if it is helping [and] it is a commitment." Another said: "I love it. I am in control of my skin." A fourth commented: "We dermatologists are not big fans of at-home devices. In general we think that clinic based treatments will give faster and dramatic outcomes. I bought this device anyway to treat myself for Christmas. I already had good skin but I was starting to notice sagging skin and signs of ageing. "After two months o fuse (which could have been more consistent but Christmas and holidays happened) I am surprised by the results... my jawline is prominent, skin is more even-toned, overall I feel more confident (certain changes even I can't pinpoint). I am so pleased I took the risk and bought it. Definitely be recommending to my right set of patients."

EVT and IMAX Expand Fast-Growing Partnership with Four New
NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EVT (ASX: EVT) and IMAX Corporation (NYSE: IMAX) today announced a significant expansion of their fast-growing partnership, with an agreement for four new state-of-the-art IMAX ® with Laser systems across Australia. The agreement represents the largest deal ever for new IMAX locations in Australia and triples the IMAX network with EVT. Three locations are set to open before the end of 2026, with an additional location set to open in 2027. EVT has rapidly grown its offering, becoming the largest operator of IMAX locations in Australia. EVT's existing IMAX footprint includes the iconic IMAX Sydney in Darling Harbour - which has consistently ranked among the top 5 locations globally for IMAX since it reopened in late 2023 - and Event Cinemas Pacific Fair on the Gold Coast, which opened in December. The partnership extends to Australia, New Zealand and Germany where IMAX and EVT are partnered on seven locations across these countries, with seven more locations set to open. 'A key element of the EVT entertainment strategy is to target investment into 'Fewer and Better' locations, maximising EVT's premiumization concepts and solidifying our leading positions. Our customers love the IMAX format and when you pair that with our broad range of premium seating options, we continue to deliver world class movie-going experiences. The growing preference for premium cinema is evident in our record-breaking key metrics results. With a strong future IMAX line-up, we look forward to offering more customers the IMAX experience' said EVT CEO, Jane Hastings. 'Moviegoer demand for IMAX significantly eclipses our current footprint in Australia and EVT continues to be very proactive and strategic in filling that gap, with IMAX locations set for new areas across the country,' said Rich Gelfond, CEO of IMAX. 'EVT and IMAX share a passion and keen focus on delivering the best possible cinematic experience, and we look forward to adding even more locations in one of our most productive markets worldwide.' IMAX has undergone unprecedented growth in Australia – inclusive of this deal, the IMAX network in the country has grown eightfold since late 2022, when IMAX Melbourne was the only location in the country. IMAX currently has four locations open in the country, and this deal bumps the backlog count to five new locations slated to open. The deal comes as IMAX continues to ride a wave of momentum in Australia. The country was the top market overall by per-screen-average (PSA) for IMAX in 2024, with an average of nearly $4.5 million per screen in the market - the next-best market delivered a PSA of just over $2.4 million. Similarly, Australia currently ranks as the tenth market overall for IMAX box office - a stellar result from just four locations in the country and ranking behind powerhouse IMAX markets like the U.S., China, Japan and the UK. The new EVT location will be equipped with IMAX with Laser, IMAX's most advanced entertainment experience. Immersive by design, IMAX with Laser has been developed from the ground-up to deliver crystal clear, lifelike images and precision audio for a moviegoing experience unlike anything else. The experience is set apart by a ground-breaking 4k laser projection system that features a new optical engine, custom designed lenses, and a suite of proprietary technology that delivers brighter images with increased resolution, deeper contrast, and the widest range of colors exclusively to IMAX screens.

Jennifer Lopez, Kim Porter, Yung Miami: A closer look at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' relationship history
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' relationship history As Sean 'Diddy' Combs faces mounting legal battles tied to serious federal allegations including sex trafficking, racketeering, and sexual misconduct, the spotlight has once again turned to the music mogul's past—particularly his history with several famous women. The musician is now facing a legal trial in New York. Here's a detailed look at his relationship and dating history. Kim Porter Kim Porter Among the most enduring relationships in Diddy's life was his long-time bond with the late Kim Porter, a model and actress. The two shared an on-and-off romance that spanned over a decade and resulted in three children. Despite the ups and downs, Porter remained an irreplaceable figure in his life until her passing in 2018. Diddy has referred to her as his 'soulmate', and according to Newsweek, he often credited her with grounding his sense of family.

However, their past took a darker turn when Cassie filed a lawsuit accusing Diddy of long-term abuse and manipulation. Though the case was eventually settled out of court, reports suggested that her claims became a catalyst for deeper scrutiny into Diddy's alleged misconduct. Jennifer Lopez Jennifer Lopez and Diddy Back in the late '90s and early 2000s, Diddy's relationship with Jennifer Lopez was the talk of Hollywood. Though short-lived, their romance was filled with red carpet moments and one headline-grabbing incident—a nightclub shooting—that drew significant media attention. Despite their breakup, the relationship remains one of the most iconic chapters in early-2000s celebrity culture. Lori Harvey Lori Harvey and Diddy In 2019, Diddy's name was linked with Lori Harvey, the stepdaughter of comedian and TV host Steve Harvey. The fling caused a stir due to their age gap and swirling rumours that Diddy had once dated Lori's mother, though those claims were never confirmed. Sarah Chapman: A Private Partner and Co-Parent Sarah Chapman and Diddy Unlike his more public romances, Diddy's relationship with Sarah Chapman remained largely out of the spotlight. She is the mother of one of his daughters, and while the two kept their romantic history low-key, they have co-parented peacefully over the years. Yung Miami : A Modern, Undefined Bond Yung Miami and Diddy More recently, Diddy was seen alongside rapper Yung Miami, one half of the hip-hop duo City Girls. Their interactions included affectionate interviews and joint appearances, which hinted at a casual, mutually supportive connection. Neither party defined the relationship formally, but both described it as 'fun' and unconventional. As reported by People, these past relationships are being re-examined amid the serious allegations surrounding Diddy today. What once appeared to be a glamorous dating history is now part of a much more sobering narrative.
