Sean "Diddy" Combs' "white parties" were known for extravagance and celebrity attendance. Aside from naked women, Fonseca told BI that she never saw anything that raised red flags at Combs' parties that she attended. Sean "Diddy" Combs' white parties are being looked at from a new perspective after the music mogul was indicted last month. The celebrities have been photographed at Combs' white parties over the years but have not been accused of wrongdoing. At one white party, Combs issued a warning to guests from atop his balcony about children needing to leave the event.

☆ Inside Netflix's hunt for its next ads leader and what it signals about the company's future

Reinhard parted ways with previous ad sales leader Peter Naylor in July, in Netflix's second ads leadership shake-up in two years. To get a sense of how Reinhard is approaching the hire, Business Insider spoke with 11 people who had inside knowledge about the search or who are close to Netflix's ad business. Others with those credentials who some insiders think could be in the mix include Pooja Midha, EVP and GM for Effectv, the ad sales arm of Comcast's cable division. "They view ad sales as having a lack of rigor and discipline," the first person who'd had conversations with Netflix said. Netflix also shook up its ad sales leadership twice, with its first ads leader Jeremi Gorman being replaced after a year, and then with Naylor's recent exit.

"It is a luxury, absolutely," Brooke Kimbrough, cofounder and CEO of Roots Surrogacy, told BI. All the surrogacy agencies BI spoke with said it's essentially never the case that someone opts for surrogacy simply for vanity reasons. Perhaps the primary drawback to pursuing concurrent surrogacy (that is, besides the high price tag) is the logistics of it. Jarret Zafran, founder and executive director at Brownstone Surrogacy, told BI that it's not necessarily only the ultrawealthy who pursue concurrent surrogacy. But he's still not totally sure why they chose to do concurrent journeys rather than space the children out a bit more.
