Who is Gossip Girl actress Kelly Rutherford's teenaged son, Hermés Giersch?
Rutherford, who lost custody of Hermés and daughter Helena a decade ago after a six-year legal battle with ex-husband Daniel Giersch, eventually moved to Monaco, where her children live, per People. In an interview with Travel + Leisure magazine, she shared more about her 'quiet' and 'peaceful' life in the tiny European city state. 'I just walk the dogs, hang out with the kids, and run errands,' she said. The Melrose Place actress has also been spending more time with her son, who, she revealed, joined her on the set of her show Escort Boys in Arles, France.

Taiwanese singer Anpu cancels Hong Kong concert, organiser cites ‘irresistible force'
Taiwanese singer Anpu has cancelled her concert in Hong Kong next month, with the organiser citing 'irresistible force.' The concert was scheduled to be held on August 23 at AsiaWorld Arena, near Hong Kong International Airport. 'Due to the irresistible force of the organiser's situation, there is no way for the concert to go ahead as planned,' concert organiser CCY Entertainment said in a statement on Tuesday. It did not elaborate on what 'irresistible force' was. The Taiwanese singer, whose full name is Chiao Anpu, publicly supported Taiwan's Sunflower Movement in 2014 and Hong Kong's Umbrella Movement in the same year. However, she came under fire from fans last year after her management company posted her handwritten message celebrating China's National Day on October 1 on Weibo. 'Irresistible force' In the comments section of the organiser's Instagram post, some concertgoers asked what 'irresistible force' meant, while others complained that they had already booked hotels or that the handling fee was non-refundable. According to the organiser, ticket vendors KKTIX, and Damai, which primarily serve the mainland Chinese market, will arrange refunds without customers needing to apply. However, handling fees will be non-refundable. This is not the first time a performance or an art event has been cancelled in Hong Kong without a clear explanation. Hong Kong singer Pong Nan's concert in January was axed due to a venue cancellation by the city's art hub. Pong, who is openly gay, is known for his support of the 2019 anti-extradition bill movement. The House of Hong Kong Literature, a non-profit that promotes the city's literary scene, said on July 21 that it was forced to call off a book fair, citing 'factors beyond our control.' A fundraising concert organised by the Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) moved online, after the live performance was axed due to what the press group described as 'an irresistible force.'

Four Seasons Hong Kong turns 20 with Michelin-starred dinners and special events
It is billed as the culinary event of the year: the Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong's 20th anniversary celebrations include three evenings of guest chefs from around the world, bringing an extra 20 Michelin stars to the hotel's eight. Guillaume Galliot , executive chef at the hotel's three-Michelin-starred Caprice , will host the spectacular dinners on September 18, 19 and 20. To commemorate the anniversary, Galliot has invited 15 top executive chefs and pastry chefs from across Asia and Europe for a once-in-a-lifetime set of tasting menus. 'I'm thrilled to bring together friends I've met at various points of my career to cook together, and celebrate the hotel's and restaurant's 20th anniversary,' says Galliot. 'Food is about generosity, conviviality, and where the best produce comes together perfectly on the plate through precision and technique.' Caprice will host celebrated chefs from across Asia and Europe over three spectacular anniversary dinners in September. Photo: Handout Galliot will present one dish each evening, alongside five chefs each serving one of their signature dishes. His dishes include his roasted Challans duck with dolce forte sauce, celeriac and red berries, and his mum's garden tomatoes in verbena elegance. His third dish, a classic French recipe reimagined, is roasted pigeon with French figs and eggplants in fig sauce. He uses the Racan breed of pigeon from the Loire Valley, where he was born. The pigeon is cooked in a cocoa pod from Vietnam and served with salsify, puffed potatoes and cocoa jus. Two lauded chefs will come over from the UK: Claude Bosi from Bibendum in London, and Sat Bains of his eponymous restaurant in Nottingham. Both restaurants have two Michelin stars, while Sat Bains also has a Green star. Other noteworthy chefs include Alan Taudon of two-star L'Orangerie at the revered Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris, and Jordy Navarra of award-winning Toyo Eatery in Manila, which is No 42 on the Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list this year.

4 things trending this summer, from Labubu to Dubai chocolate
These days, it seems like everything from what we eat to what we wear is influenced by a viral internet sensation. Here are four trends that we have spotted online and in the city. Ballet flats Frequently spotted on Hong Kong streets and at designer shows, these easy-to-wear ballerina-inspired flat shoes have been enjoying quite the resurgence. Perhaps last popular in the 2000s, Vogue has proclaimed the flats the 'it-shoe' of 2025. But where did the shoe actually come from? Its origins date back to the 1600s. Marie-Anne de Cupis de Camargo, a French ballerina of the Paris Opera, removed the heel of her pointe shoes, creating the now-standard ballet slipper. Ballet flats from Miu Miu. Photo: Miu Miu Modern iterations would not become mainstream until the 20th century, when American designers like Claire McCardell began creating their own versions alongside Parisian shoemakers such as Repetto. Quickly becoming associated with French culture and classic, feminine looks, ballet flats have remained a wardrobe staple throughout the years. Today, designers have breathed new life into the trend, playing with different materials and styles. You can find ballet flats made of mesh, crochet or even jellylike plastic – the possibilities are endless! Pistachio Featured in everything from egg tarts to ice cream, mochi, and drinks, clamouring for this nutty filling and flavour has caused a pistachio shortage, not unlike matcha. The main culprit, if you ask this author, has to be 'Dubai chocolate', more on that later, which uses the nut as a vital component in its filling. Even beyond menus, the soft colour has also found its way into the 2025 spring/summer collections of brands like Miu Miu, Prada and Alexander McQueen. A promotional photo for Godiva's collaboration with Pop Mart, featuring pistachio flavours and Kasing Lung's character Labubu from his series 'The Monsters'. Dubai chocolate Although this trend began in 2024, it does not appear to be on its way out. Dubai-based chocolatier FIX is credited for this variety, which combines a rich pistachio cream filling with crunchy kataifi pastry, stuffed into a milk chocolate bar. It was first created by the company founder, Sarah Hamouda, as a unique way to satisfy her pregnancy cravings. As the crispy kadayif-pistachio cream chocolate gained popularity, other leading chocolate brands such as Läderach and Lindt began producing their own variations. Social media helped propel the rise of this decadent dessert, and soon the concept was incorporated into various other pastries. In Hong Kong, Godiva launched limited-edition Dubai chocolate soft serves and milkshakes in partnership with one of the other biggest trends of the year – Labubu. Labubu Depending on who you ask, Labubu is equal parts ugly, frightening and adorable. Chances are, you have heard of the furry dolls that have become a global toy sensation, – but do you know about their connection to Hong Kong? Labubu creator Lung Ka-sing, at his studio in Kwun Tong. Photo: Jonathan Wong Labubu is actually the name of an elfish creature featured in The Monsters, a series by Hong Kong-Dutch artist Lung Ka-sing, or Kasing Lung. Born in Hong Kong, Lung and his family immigrated to the Netherlands when he was around six years old. To improve his Dutch, a teacher suggested that he read young adult books with illustrations, especially those about Nordic folklore and mythology. Lung used this mythology to create Labubu and her friends! In mid-2024, Blackpink's Lisa was spotted with a furry toy keychain and also posted about a collection of plush dolls produced by the Chinese company Pop Mart, based on Lung's design. This propelled the character into the spotlight, starting in Thailand, Southeast Asia and East Asia, but quickly sweeping the globe. Fans wait in long queues to grab Pop Mart bling boxes, where you can only discover what you have bought after opening the package. Resell prices have gone up exponentially, and there is even a whole market ecosystem dedicated to accessorising the dolls.
