No, we don’t want dudes here, with their cynicism, tedium and neutral wardrobes. We want severe bobs and couture. We want Law Roach attempting to act. We want Balenciaga! The new sequel posits Lucy Liu as the saviour of the universe, which is somehow the fruitiest thing in a movie that features Stanley Tucci sporting a jaunty pocket square. So why does The Devil Wears Prada 2, a follow-up far better than one might imagine for a 20-years-later “let’s get the gang back together” escapade, also insist on including the most criminally tedious heterosexual male to ever appear in a mainstream movie? Seemingly bred in a lab to make us all forgive original Devil Wears Prada boyfriend Adrian …

Crowd Shrinks as Berkshire Hathaway’s New CEO Leads the Annual Meeting for the First Time Saturday

Crowd Shrinks as Berkshire Hathaway’s New CEO Leads the Annual Meeting for the First Time Saturday

Published by Sam Flores

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The folksy wisdom and jokes that were a staple of the Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting for decades when Warren Buffett led the show was mostly replaced Saturday with detailed business discussions led by new CEO Greg Abel. Attendance is down significantly this year with the arena only a little over half full, but still no other corporate meeting can come close to matching the crowds at Berkshire’s Woodstock for Capitalists. For years, more than 40,000 attended to listen to the 95-year-old Buffett and — before his death in 2023, Buffett’s longtime partner Charlie Munger was always part of the fun. Buffett gave up the CEO title in January, but he remains chairman and did make a few comments during the meeting. Berkshire’s businesses were the focus, but timely topics like the Iran war and the risks and benefits of artificial intelligence also came up. Vice Chairman Ajit Jain said Berkshire would be willing to insure ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz if the price was right and the U.S. Navy escorted …

One of the questions concerned Hathaway’s feelings about ageing. In her response she – a non-Muslim – casually threw the word “inshallah” in mid-sentence. The reaction was big. The clip quickly went viral, with the incident reported on Al Jazeera, Grazia, and HuffPost, among others. Why has this moment struck such a chord with Muslims and Arabs worldwide? So what does it mean? Inshallah (also transliterated as “insha’Allah” and “inshaallah”) is an Arabic term that means “if God wills” or “God willing”. The reaction to Anne Hathaway’s comment has been overwhelmingly positive (PA) The term is most commonly associated with Muslims, …

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree when it comes to Anne Hathaway’s acting bug, being that the A-lister caught it from her mother Kate McCauley Hathaway. Kate heavily influenced Anne’s passion for the theater starting from the young age of three when she saw her mother perform on stage for the first time. She recalled to People: “My mom’s an actress, and she performed at the Allenberry Playhouse in a production of Evita. She was Eva Perón, and my dad tells me that when it was done, he said, ‘So what do you think?’ And apparently my response was, ‘There were children on that stage. I should be one.’” © Getty Images Anne continued: “Which I have to say, I love the stones on little me. They held me back for about 10 years. Then I got an agent myself.” The dynamic duo appeared in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement together in 2004, during which Kate portrayed a choir director.

Anne Hathaway is currently busy promoting the trendiest film of the year – The Devil Wears Prada 2. We’ve spied the stunning Hollywood star globetrotting over the past few weeks. On 16 April, the brunette beauty was spotted in New York City, looking resplendent in a sheer black dress layered beneath a sleeveless, midi-length tailored coat. Dangling elegantly from her wrist was a beautiful handbag by DeMellier. In keeping with her location, the 43-year-old chose to sport the aptly named ‘New York Shoulder Bag’, which is rectangular in shape, has gold hardware, and a long strap. The perfect top-handled number is timeless in design and can be used for a plethora of occasions. © GC ImagesAnne carried a lovely handbag by DeMellier last week Another big fan of this brand is the Princess of Wales, who has a fleet of DeMellier bags, including the ‘Hudson’ and the ‘Nano Montreal’. Perhaps Anne is taking tips from the mother of Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis? © Samir Hussein/WireImagePrincess Kate has the DeMellier ‘Nano Montreal’ bag in two colours …

Chandan Khanna/AFP via Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Chandan Khanna/AFP via Getty Images The “Oracle of Omaha” has officially retired. Mostly. At age 95, legendary investor Warren Buffett stepped down on Wednesday as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, the once-failing textile business he spent 60 years building into one of the world’s largest and most powerful companies. Today marks another step in Buffett’s long — and still partial — goodbye from Berkshire Hathaway. It’s the first day under Buffett’s longtime deputy and handpicked successor, Greg Abel. “He is a great manager, a tireless worker and an honest communicator. Wish him an extended tenure,” Buffett wrote to Berkshire shareholders in a November letter. Together with his longtime business partner and close friend, the late investor Charlie Munger, Buffett transformed Berkshire Hathaway into a global powerhouse. Today, the massive conglomerate owns businesses ranging from insurance companies and railroads to Dairy Queen and Duracell batteries. It’s also …
