Fashion Designer Riccardo Tisci Accused of Drugging, Sexually Assaulting New York Man in Legal Complaint
In an 11-page legal complaint filed in the New York Supreme Court on Tuesday, first reported by The Independent, Patrick Cooper claims Tisci 'discretely put a drug' in his drink when he was not looking after they met at the 2 Sisters 4 Brothers Restaurant and Lounge in East Harlem on June 29, 2024.

Once Cooper became 'disoriented, confused, impaired, intoxicated, unaware of his actions and surroundings and unable to comprehend what was going on,' the complaint states that Tisci allegedly brought him back to his home and prevented him from leaving and 'sexually assaulted him.'
Cooper claims he was not conscious during the sexual assault and only realized what had happened when he woke up next to Tisci naked. 'As a result of the drug(s) given to Plaintiff by Defendant, Plaintiff was unable to reject, fight, stop or defend himself from Defendant's predatory, sexual and unlawful assault and battery of Plaintiff,' the complaint states.
In response, a spokesman for Tisci said in a statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, 'These allegations are categorically untrue. Riccardo looks forward to clearing his name of these false and malicious accusations. He will obtain vindication through due process.'
Tisci has dressed numerous A-listers throughout his fashion career, including Kim Kardashian, Beyoncé, Adele, Rihanna, Meryl Streep, Madonna and Cate Blanchett. He previously served as the creative director of Givenchy before he left in 2017 after 12 years with the luxury fashion house. He was then appointed chief creative officer at Burberry in 2018, until he parted ways with the company in 2022.

Adam Sandler Consoled Julie Bowen Amid Happy Gilmore Doubts
Last month, Julie Bowen admitted that she was totally surprised to be cast as Adam Sandler's love interest in the upcoming Happy Gilmore sequel. Adam and Julie — who are 58 and 55, respectively — played lovers Happy and Virginia in the 1996 sports comedy. But despite the fact that Adam is only 3 years older than her, Julie was convinced that she wouldn't be cast in the forthcoming sequel, which drops on Netflix later this month. She told The Hollywood Reporter, 'I thought, 'Well, I won't be in it.' And that was OK… It's been 30 years, he's got a hottie. He's got some little bitty on the side, like a cart girl.' Now, Julie has opened up further about her thoughts being cast in Happy Gilmore 2 during a new appearance on Michael Rosenbaum's Inside of You podcast. 'I didn't think they'd bring me back at all,' she shared. 'I mean, who am I supposed to be? He's got to have a younger woman in this one, Happy Gilmore 2.' After reiterating that she 'was surprised to be in it,' Julie later revealed the sweet way that Adam urged her to stop downplaying her role. 'I keep saying, 'I'm in it for, like, a heartbeat. I'm in it for, like, nothing,' and Adam's like, 'Stop saying that! You're the heart of the movie!'' she shared. Elsewhere on the podcast, Julie recounted what it was like auditioning for the first Happy Gilmore film, admitting that she was 'very nervous' after seeing so many 'super sexy girls in the waiting room.' 'They were all sexy and they had it together,' she recalled. 'I was wearing jeans, maybe. I don't know, it was something very normal. The girl that had gone in before me was real, real, bombshelly. I went in after, and I was very nervous 'cause I was like, 'They're gonna hire a hot girl,'' she said. You can find Julie's full appearance on the Inside of You podcast here. Happy Gilmore 2 will be available to stream on Netflix from July 25.

Bob vs. Lob: What's the Difference, and Which One Should You Get?
The days of walking into the salon and telling your hairstylist that you simply want a bob are over. Because in 2025, there are about a zillion different types of bob haircuts: the layered bob, A-line bob, bixie (yup, that's a bob and a pixie), a long the Italian bob vs the French bob. But the biggest confusion I see online constantly is thinking a bob and a lob are just a slight difference in length, or worse, the same thing. Not to create bob vs lob haircut discourse rn, but understanding the key features of each cut is pertinent to getting the style you want when you leave the chair. Let's get into it. Obviously, the biggest difference between a bob and a lob is the length. Bobs typically sit at your jawline or above, whereas a lob lands an inch or two above or below your shoulders. Because of this, a bob tends to look more traditionally Parisian and chic, whereas a lob has a bit more of a bouncy, playful look. However, that all changes if you add in layers. A short, layered bob typically looks intentionally choppy and spiky, while a layered lob is more classic and soft. Think the difference between Jenna Ortega's shag and Taylor Swift's 1989 era bob. The shorter your hair, the fewer styling capabilities you have. A short, chin-length bob is difficult to pull back into a ponytail or a slicked-back bun; so if these are your go-to styles, a lob will give you that sleek cut without sacrificing your usual looks. Similarly, another key component of the bob vs lob conversation is maintenance. If you want to keep your bob short and blunt, you'll require regular trims to avoid a grown-out look. However, a lob is legit perfect for people who hate spending time at the salon. It looks as good freshly cut as it does when it's grown out a bit. Looking for some ideas to take to your appointment (because, yeah, IK you're convinced for a cut)?

High-end Mediterranean restaurant coming to Mass Ave
An upscale Mediterranean-inspired restaurant and lounge is coming to Mass Ave next month. Driving the news: Dusk will open in early August in the space vacated by World of Beer at the end of 2023, restaurateur Nasco Angelov told Axios. The first floor will be a 135-seat restaurant and patio, which Dusk is expanding beyond the outdoor space World of Beer occupied. The basement will be a weekend-only speakeasy serving craft cocktails and bottle service with space for about 80. Zoom in: Angelov said the menu will be Mediterranean-inspired, drawing from Greek, Lebanese, Moroccan and Italian cuisines. Entrees will be priced between $30-$50, he said. The vibe: Swanky. Think Miami or Tulum, Angelov said, with a big city lounge element. The large marble bar will be backlit and flanked by fire towers built into the tiled wall. DJ booths will be on both floors, and there will be live music on the weekends. Wood panels hang from the ceiling and rich grasscloth covers most of the walls — with the exception of a wall of original 1900 brick that the team cleaned up and restored to honor the building's 125-year history. Plus: Wait until you see the wallpaper in the women's bathroom. It may single-handedly bring back the bathroom selfie. If you go: 409 Mass Ave.
