She somehow always manages to effortlessly combine minimalism with polished sophistication, and her latest outfit, a sleek skirt set , is no exception.

Did Euphoria's Cassie, Nate Get Married? Wedding Episode Drama Explained

Image
Euphoria has been building up to Cassie and Nate’s chaotic wedding — but did they actually get married? The Sunday, April 26, episode of the hit HBO series showed Cassie ( Sydney Sweeney ) and Nate’s ( Jacob Elordi ) big day. While the guests were curious about the event, Nate was busy throwing up and Cassie was nearly pushed to the brink with pressure and stress. Despite delivering their vows without a hitch, things took a turn when a man Nate owed money to approached him during dinner. Some people overheard that Nate was very in debut, which Cassie was learning about for the first time. They managed to mend their issues — after Cassie “accidentally” injured Nate in the eye with a cork from a champagne bottle — but they arrived home to the same man, Naz, waiting to threaten Nate. Nate didn’t just receive a warning this time. He got beat up before his pinky was cut off — as Cassie had to watch. This was a disastrous start to the rest of their lives, which made sense considerin...

Donald Trump Says He’s ‘Honored' to be a Target After WHCD Shooting

Image
President Donald Trump has said he is “honored” to be a target following the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting . “When you look at our great presidents, [this] doesn’t happen to people who don’t do anything,” Trump, 79, told reporters at the White House on Saturday, April 25. Multiple media outlets reported that a 30-year-old man from California was “apprehended” during the shooting. The Secret Service told the media that the suspect’s condition is “unknown,” as are his motives. (He has been charged with two counts of using a firearm and one count of assault on a federal officer using a dangerous weapon.) “The man has been captured and they’re going to his apartment.

‘Leaving Neverland’ director says Michael Jackson was “worse than Jeffrey Epstein”

Image
Leaving Neverland director Dan Reed has criticised the new Michael Jackson biopic and claimed that the musician was “worse than Jeffrey Epstein”. Reed directed the HBO-produced, two-part documentary back in 2019, which focused on interviews with Wade Robson and James Safechuck, who alleged that they were sexually abused as children by Jackson. In 2024, Reed slammed the then-upcoming biopic Michael as “startlingly disingenuous” , claiming it discredits Robson and Safechuck’s experiences with the singer. Now that the film has hit theatres, he’s questioned why the new biopic failed to acknowledge the abuse allegations against Jackson. “It says that people don’t care that he was a child molester. Literally, people just don’t care,” Reed said in a new interview with Hollywood Reporter . “I think a lot of people just love his music and turn a deaf ear. And short of having actual video evidence of Michael Jackson engaged in sexual intercourse with a seven-year-old child, I don’t know ...

I just try to have time for my wife and my kids and not over commit myself to things that maybe I don’t feel like I’m great at.
