Fantasy Cast for The Challenge: Battle for a New Champion 2
Battle for a New Champion was a great idea, but casting did not do a good job. We needed to see more vets, and this hypothetical season will have a lot of veterans. We need someone who has been on multiple seasons to finally get that win.

I tried every Rhode product so you can perfect your own shopping list
Last month, my sister travelled to the United States and my number one request was for her to bring me back some rhode. Being a beauty editor I should know better, but the marketing has me in a chokehold and for years I’ve been dying to get my hands on it (the scarcity effect is real). I’ve also tried the Glazing Milk and Mist (thanks to a very lucky PR package) and can’t deny they work. Glazed donut skin, indeed.

What made 120K people demand Nicki Minaj leave America
Hip-hop star faces unprecedented fan revolt as online campaigns surge past 120,000 signatures. The queen of rap has gone quiet. Nicki Minaj, once a fixture on social media with her trademark provocative commentary, has conspicuously withdrawn from public view after a dramatic pivot toward conservative politics ignited a firestorm among her loyalists. The 43-year-old artist hasn’t posted since late December, when festive greetings masked what would become one of the most turbulent periods in her two-decade career.

One Battle After Another
Okay full honesty here; I was not looking forward to watching this movie. I HATED Killers of the Flower Moon and that was the last time I saw Leo DiCaprio’s face. I think the writing better be damn good to warrant a nearly 3 hour film, and that is almost never the case. And almost every time a film gets touted “film of the year” it's actually nowhere near the best film that came out that year. So this film had an uphill battle with me before I ever pressed play. But I am nothing if not incredible at objective analysis. So I fought through it anyway.

Jay Kelly
Jay Kelly is one of the movies that slipped through my fingers last year but we are getting to it before Oscar nominations so it's a win I guess. I am a fan of Adam Sandler as a person but not as much as an actor and I never understood the fascination with George Clooney so I didn’t have a strong inclination toward this movie. That said, it was on the to do list so here we go.

Angelina Jolie in Alice Winocour's Paris 'Couture' Film Official Trailer
"It's a shout of rage, of liberation." HanWay Films debuted the first official trailer for Couture, a French film about the Paris fashion industry. This premiered at TIFF 2025 last year and other festivals and will be debuting in French cinemas this February. Though there's still no US release expected anytime soon as it didn't get many good reviews (58% on RT). Angelina Jolie stars as an American filmmaker named Maxine who arrives in Paris for Fashion Week on a life-and-death journey, facing challenges and self-discovery. The triptych story follows three women in Paris, including a young fresh face model named Ada, and a make-up artist working in the shadows of the catwalks. A "powerful & intimate journey of self-reflection & resilience set against the electric backdrop of Paris Fashion Week." Written & directed by French César nominated writer / director Alice Winocour, the film stars mega famous actress Angelina Jolie as Maxine Walker, with Louis Garrel, Anyier Anei, Ella Rumpf, Guillaume Marbeck, & Garance Marillier, also featuring Vincent Lindon. This only looks like it's worth a watch for anyone who is deeply into the fashion industry.
