Disney sues Hong Kong jewellery shop over Mickey Mouse trademark infringement claims
The Walt Disney Company has taken a Hong Kong online jewellery shop to court for alleged trademark infringement, accusing the store of misleading consumers into believing that its Mickey Mouse-themed products were sold under an authorised partnership. The lawsuit, filed by the company's subsidiary Disney Enterprises, Inc. on Wednesday in a district court in California, targets Hong Kong-based Red Earth Group Limited, which operates an online jewellery brand, Sateur. The shop has an office in Wong Chuk Hang, located in Hong Kong's Southern district. 'Disney remains committed to guarding against unlawful trademark infringement and protecting consumers from confusion caused by unauthorised uses of Mickey Mouse and our other iconic characters,' a Disney spokesperson told the Post in a statement on Thursday. Sateur, which has been featured in magazines such as Vogue and Cosmopolitan, launched its 'Mickey 1928 Collection' in January 2024, with items ranging from about US$135 to US$300. On its website and Instagram posts, the brand describes the collection as a way for 'Disney enthusiasts' to 'own a dazzling piece of history that blends the timeless charm of Mickey Mouse with luxury you can afford'.

The dark side of cute designer cats like Taylor Swift's Scottish Fold
Cute cats have become social media stars as of late, with many people – celebrities included – showing off their felines with photos and videos that have received millions of hits. Pop queen Taylor Swift's round-headed, big-eyed cat, a Scottish Fold, is a celebrity in its own right, and model and actress Claudia Schiffer brought her own Scottish Fold to the premiere of a film – which also featured the feline. There is, however, a darker side to this trend. For example, animal welfare advocates say Scottish Folds, known for their folded ears, are the result of harmful breeding practices. Animals bred for specific traits, like big eyes, a flat nose or unique coat colours, can struggle with health problems for their entire lives. Some may have difficulty breathing or other physical problems. Taylor Swift with her Scottish Fold cat.

He says animals are being deliberately bred with genetic defects to achieve an extravagant or cute appearance, even though the health consequences for the animals have been known for decades.

Who is Moon Ga-young, Korean actress known for K-dramas True Beauty and Law and the City?
This is shaping up to be an eye-catching year for Moon Ga-young on the small screen. The rising actress, also known as Mun Ka-young, is currently starring opposite Lee Jong-suk in the slice-of-life legal drama Law and the City – already her second K-drama of the year, following My Dearest Nemesis. Moon, who turned 29 this week, was born in Karlsruhe, Germany to South Korean parents who were studying there. She grew up in a trilingual household speaking German, English and Korean. She became a child model for a clothing magazine after she was discovered on the street as her mother pushed her around in a stroller. Moon Ga-young in a still from Law and the City. Photo: Disney+. When the family moved back to South Korea in 2005, Moon and her older sister entered a modelling competition, and Moon was selected for a photo shoot for a children's fashion catalogue. She acclimatised to Korea and its film and drama industry quickly and, shortly after arriving in the country, became a child actress, making her screen debut in the K-horror film Bloody Reunion when she was just 10 years old.
