A UK judge ordered Sheikh Mohammed of Dubai to pay a $679 million divorce settlement to his ex-wife. Princess Haya had filed for divorce in London, known as "the divorce capital of the world." It also reaffirmed London's status as the de facto "divorce capital of the world," at least for the rich and famous. The often-cited case — "White v White" — concerns Martin White and Pamela White, farmers from Somerset who filed for divorce in 1994. Lawyers for Khoo told the court that his case had enhanced "the ill-gotten reputation of this country for being the divorce capital of the world."

☆ ‘Emily in Paris’ Season 3 Review: Couture Continuation

The popular “Emily in Paris” is not a fish tank. A fish tank—probably—would not be entering its third season on Netflix with a fourth to come. For those unfamiliar with the show, Lily Collins is its main attraction, her signature eyebrows suggesting an accent aigu and an accent grave as her wide-eyed character, Emily Cooper , makes her rube’s way around Paris. When the show first appeared in 2020, the response in France was negative. That seems as much an insult to Illinois as any slur toward France, whose people are portrayed cartoonishly, if not maliciously.

The apparel company's decision to end its partnership with designer Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, shows the perils companies can face when they hand over the keys to impossible-to-control celebs. In some cases — such as in Ye's partnership with Adidas — the payoff of a relationship might not exceed the eventual cost. "A brand can spend hundreds of millions of marketing dollars building its brand and then see it all undone with a bad celebrity partnership." "The world was treating Ye a lot differently when the Yeezy deal was signed," said Monson. But he brought some of the allure and some of the danger with him that he infused into the Yeezy brand."
