The launch arrived just hours after Rocky appeared on the cover of Vogue, calling Rihanna his “past, future, internal, external, infinite” love. Their chemistry isn’t new. From their flirty 2012 MTV performance to starting a family together, they now have two young sons, and their journey has been anything but quiet and private.
The rumours of a secret engagement (or marriage) aren’t new either. Fans remember Rocky’s 2022 music video “D.M.B.,” where his grill asked, “Marry me?” and hers answered, “I do.” They’ve continued dropping subtle clues ever since, from Rihanna’s dramatic white cape at the 2023 Met Gala to cryptic captions like “Here comes the bride.”

But even if there's no wedding date circled yet, Rihanna knows how to use that speculation. Her latest bridal collection, made up of 43 pieces including veils, bustiers, lacy gloves, and robes, is clearly aimed at modern brides and those just in the mood to feel like one.
“It’s not about tradition,” said Vanessa Wallace, Savage X Fenty’s marketing head. “It’s about self-expression; bold, playful, and a bit rebellious.” Bridal stylist Barbara Letizia agrees: more clients now want looks that go beyond the ceremony. “They want to feel bridal all weekend, from rehearsal dinners to post-wedding brunches.”

And Rihanna, ever the queen of mystery, isn’t confirming anything. She rarely speaks on her private life, preferring to let fashion and visuals do the talking. Whether this was a clever brand move or a soft announcement, fans are eating it up.
Either way, she’s flipped the script yet again on what it means to be a bride!

Michelle Trachtenberg cause of death confirmed as diabetes complications

The actress had been living with diabetes, a chronic condition where the body struggles to regulate blood sugar levels. Complications from the disease can lead to serious health issues, including heart disease, kidney failure, and liver problems. Trachtenberg had reportedly received a liver transplant in the past, though the specifics surrounding the operation remain unclear.
Trachtenberg’s death came as a shock to her fans, many of whom were unaware of her health struggles. Known for her early work as a child star, including her role in Harriet the Spy, she later gained widespread recognition for her portrayal of Dawn Summers on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Georgina Sparks on Gossip Girl. Her talent and presence on screen earned her a loyal following and numerous accolades throughout her career.

In the wake of her death, friends and co-stars, including Blake Lively and Sarah Michelle Gellar, have expressed their grief. Lively, who worked with Trachtenberg on Gossip Girl, described her as someone who approached everything with passion and loyalty. Gellar, who played her sister on Buffy, shared an emotional tribute, reflecting on their deep bond both on and off-screen.
Trachtenberg’s passing brings to light the often-overlooked dangers of diabetes and the importance of managing chronic health conditions. Despite her untimely death, her legacy as a beloved actress and friend continues to inspire those who knew her.
'Doctor Who' boss Russell T Davies shuts down ‘woke’ backlash over diverse casting

He also added that restricting stories to one narrow point of view makes writing stale. “Why would you box yourself in?” he asked. “There’s more joy and honesty in writing from a world that actually reflects what we see around us.”
This season’s casting choices have certainly sparked conversation, but the actors themselves see that as a good sign. Sethu told Radio Times that hearing the show called “Doctor Woke” only confirmed for her that they were doing the right thing. “To me, it just means we’re being inclusive,” she said. “Doctor Who has always been about doing the right thing. This is no different.”

Gatwa, the first Black actor to take on the iconic role of the Doctor, echoed the same thoughts. He called the shift in casting “progress,” a step closer to reflecting real life on screen. But he also hoped for a future where such casting no longer feels groundbreaking. “It should just be normal,” he said.
The show has long evolved with the times, from introducing its first female Doctor, played by Jodie Whittaker in 2017, to tackling deeper social issues under Davies’ direction. But for the showrunner, none of this is about chasing trends. It’s simply storytelling that mirrors the world outside the TARDIS.
Despite online noise and rumours about the show’s future, Doctor Who continues to push forward, powered by a creative team that believes in representation not as a political statement, but as a reflection of reality.
Amazon cancels Citadel with Samantha Ruth Prabhu and Varun Dhawan as Priyanka Chopra series takes the lead

However, Amazon MGM Studios has now chosen to discontinue both spin-offs. Vernon Sanders, the studio’s Head of Television, explained that while the international chapters were “enjoyed,” they won't return as standalone series. Instead, elements from both stories will be stitched into Citadel Season 2.
Filming for the new season is already done, but viewers will have to wait until 2026 to watch it, following a delay from the previously expected 2025 release. According to Sanders, the upcoming season will feature bigger stakes, new characters, and further explore the lead roles of Nadia, Mason and Orlick.

The cancellations arrive amid wider shifts at Amazon. Several projects greenlit during former studio head Jennifer Salke’s tenure have reportedly been paused or scrapped. This includes other planned spin-offs like Citadel: Mexico and possibly even the Tomb Raider series starring Sophie Turner, though that has yet to be confirmed.
For now, the streaming giant appears to be scaling back its sprawling franchise ambitions in favour of tightening its focus. Whether this trimmed-down approach can reignite interest in Citadel remains to be seen.
Soha Ali Khan reveals facing criticism since 2015 for her interfaith marriage to Kunal Kemmu
In her candid interview, Soha Ali Khan talks about dealing with religious and parenting stereotypesInstagram/sakpataudi
Soha, now used to such chatter, admits she’s built some emotional distance from it. “It doesn’t bother me,” she says. “But it’s still something I notice.” The way people react reveals more about society’s conditioning than about her own life, she adds.
What’s striking is that this scrutiny doesn’t just stop at religion. Soha has also been questioned for not having a son as though motherhood is incomplete without one. Even well-educated people around her have implied that she’s somehow “falling short,” despite being a hands-on parent to her daughter.
Soha Ali Khan reflects on the pressures of public judgment surrounding her marriage to Kunal KemmuInstagram/sakpataudi
Soha believes much of this judgement stems from deeply rooted social expectations, ones her own family has resisted across generations. Her grandmother, for instance, fought to pursue higher education in an era when women weren’t encouraged to do so. Her mother, veteran actor Sharmila Tagore, too faced questions when she chose to act in films. But both women chose to live on their terms, and Soha sees her own freedom as a direct result of those choices.
“I married at 36, went to Oxford and LSE, became a mother later in life. Nobody questioned me and that’s because of the path carved before me,” she says.
In the end, Soha isn’t here to prove anything. Her life, lived simply and honestly, seems to be the only answer she needs to give.
