Inside Charli XCX and George Daniel's Chic Wedding After Party
Congrats to Mr. and Mrs. XCX, AKA Charli XCX and George Daniel! The couple officially said 'I do' with an intimate ceremony at the Hackney Town Hall in London on July 19, and it was just as chic as you'd expect. The 1975 donned a classic charcoal Armani suit while the Brat hitmaker wore a draped ivory satin corseted mini dress from Vivienne Westwood paired with Jimmy Choo slingback heels. Of course, she threw on her signature oversized shades for the post-wedding festivities, too, and captured the moment with a series of TikToks. 'When George isn't crying when he sees me walking down the aisle,' Charli captioned the first video, which was set to her 'girl, so confusing' remix with Lorde. In another clip, she shared behind-the-scenes vibes with her wedding party, including photographer Aidan Zamiri and Mr. XCX himself. She wore a chic off-the-shoulder white mini dress from Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello as the group exuded 'bridal party energy' and danced to Far East Movement's 2010 club classic, 'Like a G6.' George's bandmates Ross MacDonald and Adam Hann were reportedly in attendance for the wedding, whereas The 1975's frontman, Matty Healy, had to skip out on the festivities to attend the premiere of I Know What You Did Last Summer, which stars his fiancée and Charli's '360' muse, Gabbriette Bechtel. While their nuptials remained pretty low-key, Charli and George's after-party brought on the brat-titude. According to The Sun, the reception took place at Italian restaurant Dalla before attendees made their way to Ellie's bar in Dalston. 'Charli's wedding reception was the epitome of Brat,' an insider told the outlet. 'Her and George wanted to keep it very cool, so they shunned cars and walked down Hackney High Street to get to Dalla. The restaurant had closed for them, and they had a massive family-style meal with loads of pasta and champagne. People walking past were stunned when they saw Charli and George having a cheeky pre-dinner cigarette outside.' And, according to since-expired Instagram Stories posted by DJ Alex Chapman, the couple served skinny cigarettes on silver platters for their guests: Charli revealed that she and George had the idea in mind during a 2024 appearance on the Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain podcast. 'It's so fun,' she said of the wedding planning process, which she admitted made her and her now-husband 'crazy.' 'We're like, 'We're going to have this really epic, like, cigarette station!' and we're going to have people walking around with, like, silver trays of cigarettes,' she jokingly explained. If ^^^ all of this is any indicator, Charli made a point when she said everything is romantic.

Elayna Black, known to WWE fans as Cora Jade, has announced that she is taking an indefinite break from professional wrestling. The 24-year-old star, who was released from her WWE contract in May, is stepping away from the business to focus on her mental health. In a candid statement posted to her social media accounts on Monday, Black explained her decision to her followers. She stated that her passion for the industry has waned and she needs time away. In her announcement, Black was direct about the reasons for her hiatus. She said she needs to find out if the love she once had for wrestling can return. "I am going to be taking a break from wrestling for the foreseeable future," Black wrote. "It's no longer good for my mental health and I'll never know if that love for it I once had will return if I don't step away. I'm gonna take the rest of the year to take care of me and go from there." She also apologized to the fans and independent promoters who had booked her for upcoming appearances. Her announcement was met with an outpouring of support from the wrestling community.

The WWE logo is seen on the front of the WWE wrestling world headquarters on January 28, 2024 in Stamford, Connecticut. WWE founder Vince McMahon resigned from the WWE and its parent company TKO as executive chairman and its board of directors following allegations of sexual assault made public in a lawsuit in Connecticut. A former employee Janel Grant accused McMahon, 78, of sexual assault and sexually trafficking her. MoreBlack's decision to speak openly about her mental health is part of a growing, positive trend in the demanding world of professional wrestling. The industry's relentless travel, physical toll, and public scrutiny can be immense, especially for young performers. In recent years, other top stars have also taken necessary breaks to prioritize their well-being, helping to destigmatize the issue. Her decision to step away to "take care of me" is a powerful and courageous statement. It highlights the importance of mental wellness in a high-pressure profession. More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation During her time in WWE as Cora Jade, Black was one of the breakout stars of the NXT 2.0 era. With her "skateboarding rebel" persona, she quickly became a fan favorite. She had memorable moments in high-profile matches, including a daring dive from the top of the cage at a WarGames event. Black's biggest success came when she teamed with Roxanne Perez to win the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship. This led to her most memorable storyline, where she shockingly turned heel on Perez, throwing her half of the championship belt in a trash can. This established her as the leader of the "Generation of Jade" and one of the top villains in the NXT women's division for a significant period before her eventual release.

Maurizio Cattelan Can't Keep a Banana on the Wall
Summary It was only a matter of time before someone took another Cattelan's infamous banana artwork 'The Comedian' has once again been consumed and this time at the Centre Pompidou-Metz in eastern France. The fruit, taped to a wall as part of the museum's current exhibitionEndless Sunday, was swiftly devoured by a visitor over the weekend. Security responded quickly. Within minutes, the banana was replaced, business as usual. Artnet reported: 'In a characteristically tongue-and-cheek retort, the Italian artist-provocateur said he was disappointed the banana muncher did not also consume the work's skin and tape. The museum-goer, Cattelan noted, had clearly 'confused the fruit for the work of art' and hadn't gone far enough.' Since its debut at Art Basel Miami in 2019, 'The Comedian' has sparked debate, confusion and no shortage of social media engagement. Originally sold for up to $150,000 USD with a certificate of authenticity, the piece has since been eaten multiple times from a viral act by artist David Datuna in Miami to a hungry student at Seoul's Leeum Museum in 2023. Despite the drama, institutions remain unfazed. The banana, after all, comes with clear replacement instructions. According to the Pompidou-Metz, the work will continue to hang until the exhibition ends in 2027. Centre Pompidou-Metz1 Parv. des Droits de l'HommeCS 90490, 57000Metz, France
