Is That Hotel Too Young for You?
The moment I realized it's possible to age out of a hotel scene came at 2:03 a.m. on a Friday night. My husband and I had splurged on a stay at a posh hotel in New York's SoHo neighborhood. A few hours after going to bed, I was jolted awake by a pounding bass vibrating up from the establishment's chic second-floor lounge. Though we'd enjoyed a quiet cocktail there earlier in the evening, it was a public nightclub now. Two floors above the fray, I felt like I was at the party against my will—and that the hotel was to blame. Your lodging actually can be too young—or too mature or too family-focused—for you. Many hotels target hyperspecific customers, and they will tailor everything from decor to guest amenities accordingly. So how do you avoid an unintentional nightclub suite, or a similar mishap? Deep research.

Creating a Home and a Place for Art, Together
Samantha Rubin Katz and Alan Mark Paukman might have crossed paths several times before meeting in 2023. They both grew up on the Upper West Side of Manhattan; both own SoHo apartments three blocks from one another; both studied at Columbia at the same time; and both moved to New Orleans in the spring of 2023, just four blocks apart. But they never met. That changed at a mutual friend's birthday pool party in the Marigny neighborhood of New Orleans on May 27, 2023. The two say the only explanation is b'shert, a Yiddish word meaning destiny. They only exchanged a few words at the pool party, but later that evening, Ms. Katz, 39, said, 'I felt so comfortable. I just went up to him and started dancing.' She recalled him saying, 'Hey, we should probably exchange numbers,' which they did. The next day, both were headed to New York — she by plane, he by car. 'I told her to wave to me from the plane while I was driving,' Mr. Paukman, 38, said. The two spent all of June in Manhattan, busy but keeping in touch via text. On June 20, 2023, they went on their first date: a sunset stroll through Central Park; a bike ride to see the Met Opera at SummerStage; dinner at Blue Ribbon Sushi, Ms. Katz's favorite sushi spot; and a first kiss under the disco ball at Lincoln Center. 'It all sounds dreamy and magical,' Mr. Paukman said. 'I did spend a week planning and charting that.' Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Kanye West's wife Bianca Censori wears ANOTHER daring look in skimpy underwear in NYC
Bianca Censori opted for yet another daring outfit as she joined her husband Kanye West for an outing in New York City over the weekend. The 30-year-old Australian architect — who recently donned a wild ensemble this week during their trip to the Big Apple — was seen shopping around the SoHo area with the rapper, 48, by her side on Saturday. Censori — who is no stranger to opting for risqué looks — showed off her legs wearing a pair of skimpy black underwear as well as a fitted long-sleeved black top. She slipped into a pair of open-toed black pumps featuring thin straps that wrapped up towards her knees. Bianca's brunette locks were parted in the middle and flowed down in light waves, allowing her bangs to fall onto her forehead. The star chose to not carry a purse with her for the daytime excursion, and simply held her smartphone in her hand. Censori — who is no stranger to risqué looks — showed off her legs wearing a pair of skimpy black underwear as well as a fitted long-sleeved black top West — who also goes by the name of Ye — matched Bianca with an all-black outfit comprised of a zipped-up jacket and matching pants. The controversial music artist completed the look with a pair of black-and-blue trainers and black sunglasses with an elastic band. The pair strolled down a crowded street in the bustling city, and they were seen stopping inside shops including Alaia. Kanye and Bianca tied the knot in 2022, but it was reported in February of this year that the two had split. It apparent breakup came shortly after her shocking naked stunt on the 2025 Grammy Awards red carpet and Ye's anti-Semitic meltdown on social media. But in April, the two appeared to have patched things up between them when they were spotted reuniting in Spain. A day before their latest outing, West and Censori enjoyed date night in NYC. As usual, she left little to the imagination by wearing a nearly naked outfit. Bianca donned a black top with a deep plunging neckline going all the way down toward her midriff. West — who also goes by the name of Ye — matched Bianca with an all-black outfit comprised of a zipped-up jacket and matching pants Feathery details were added around the neckline, and she additionally wore a pair of black underwear. Bianca and Kanye were spotted leaving a hotel together, with the rapper trailing closely behind the Australian beauty. The outing came after 50 Cent wasted no time taking aim at the pair after the rapper made a surprise appearance at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' federal sex trafficking trial last Friday. The Grammy winner — who has been an outspoken critic of Diddy — weighed in after Kanye showed up at the Manhattan courthouse alongside Diddy's son Christian Combs. West told reporters he was there to show support for the embattled Bad Boy Records founder. Diddy is facing explosive allegations from federal prosecutors, who claim he ran a criminal enterprise that facilitated so-called 'freak offs,' described as alleged drug-fueled orgies involving paid sex workers. Shortly after West's appearance, 50 Cent took to Instagram to mock the couple, posting an AI-generated photo of himself dressed in an all-white outfit next to footage of Kanye arriving at court in his own similar all-white ensemble. In his caption, the In Da Club hitmaker didn't hold back, even referencing Censori's nearly-nude look from the Grammy Awards red carpet earlier this year. 'We are wearing white in honor of the freak offs,' 50 Cent wrote. 'D**n Ye you should have brought your dirty little wife with that Grammys outfit! @50centaction' Meanwhile, Kanye was reportedly not on the approved attendee list for the day and was instructed to watch the proceedings via a closed-circuit video feed in the overflow room. He left the courthouse after about 30 minutes. Since walking down the aisle with Censori, the rapper has reportedly encouraged his wife to wear a number of very racy looks, which have caused a stir online. Her fashion choices, including her eye-popping red carpet stunt at the Grammys in February as well as their recent shopping trip in Mallorca, have sparked controversy about 'public indecency.' Last month, Censori angered locals after baring her breasts in a sheer bra during a shopping trip with West in Spain. Locals were 'left horrified' as the couple walked through the market in the revealing ensemble. Despite the backlash, women have been allowed to go topless in certain areas of Spain since 2020 under Catalan equality law. However, Censori's revealing look has been deemed 'inappropriate' by critics and many have been asking online, 'Why hasn't this woman been arrested for indecency yet!!!?' Before her trip to NYC, Bianca turned heads in yet another bold outfit which comprised of a skimpy nude bodysuit and fuzzy white boots. She was spotted driving a new Porsche 911 Turbo 4s as she arrived to a beauty spa in Los Angeles. Also this week, Censori was seen driving the lavish car through the streets of Beverly Hills while simultaneously looking at her phone.

Justin Bieber's wife Hailey flies solo in NYC after ditching wedding ring amid fears for their marriage
shocked her fans on Friday when she was spotted out in New York City with a bare ring finger. But the 28-year-old wife of Justin Bieber gave mixed messages on Saturday when she was spotted again sporting her enormous diamond ring. The reversal comes after a reported blow-out fight between the couple on the previous Sunday — Father's Day — when Hailey allegedly called her husband a 'f***ing child.' After stirring up more fears for their marriage with her ring-free look in photos obtained by TMZ, Hailey instead showcased her summer style when her ring reappeared on her Saturday outing in the Big Apple. The brunette beauty — who recently unfollowed her perceived nemesis Selena Gomez on social media — looked fresh as a daisy while stepping out in the SoHo area. The Rhode Skin founder flaunted her long, toned limbs in a tight-fitting black sleeveless T-shirt and white-and-black polka dot leggings. She completed the look with black mule sandals and a black bag, accessorizing with only a pair of dark sunglasses, a gold watch and her large diamond wedding ring. The runway veteran's brunette hair was styled straight, and she wore natural-looking makeup. Despite her pristine appearance, fans have been concerned for the couple after Justin's Father's Day reportedly ended in a bitter showdown after he spent the day posting bizarre messages on Instagram. The singer, 31, failed to share any tribute to his wife or their nine-month-old son Jack Blues Bieber on the day, aside from seemingly referring to Hailey as a 'lil ho.' Instead he shared a barrage of bizarre pictures and messages on his social media, including private messages in which he admitted to being 'traumatized' before cutting out a friend for struggling to accept his 'anger.' According to an insider who spoke to The Sun, Hailey was 'beyond furious' and branded her husband a 'f***ing child' as she begged him to seek professional help rather than sharing rambling messages online. Justin also shared a personal statement referring to himself as 'broken' and spoke about how he struggles with anger, healing and self-worth. In one of the posts he showed off two Prada backpacks, a MacBook and a gold and diamond–covered Audemars Piguet watch, which may have been gifts from Hailey. Justin referenced Father's Day and wrote in one post, 'Happy daddies day to me u lil ho.' In response, Hailey took a savage swipe at her husband following his brutal remark towards her on Mother's Day in which he declared 'Mother's Day sucks a**.' Returning the remark, Hailey wrote: 'Father's Day sucks a**.' Back in May, the Peaches singer had a concerning outburst on Mother's Day when Hailey was celebrating the holiday as a mom for the first time. An insider told the Sun that this latest outburst, which comes months after Justin was pictured at a strip club, has rocked the couple. A source told the publication: 'The post really set her off — she told him it was one of the dumbest things he's ever done like 'feeding raw meat to a pack of lions who want to eat you alive.' The mother of one is apparently desperate for him to go to therapy for his issues, with the insider saying: 'She's been telling him for a while to get help — see a therapist, talk to someone who can help him manage his anger and mood swings. Hailey didn't want him to post that message' They added: 'She's fed up with his childish behaviour and the constant negativity he brings onto himself. She told him to stop being a 'f***ing child' and to finally start listening to the people who care about him.' During the day, Justin shared around 20 posts with the middle finger emoji as the caption, including several with his son. 'I'm a dad that's not to be f***ed with,' he wrote with a weary-eyed selfie on Sunday. He did share several selfies of himself seemingly celebrating the day as he shared a snap of him posing with a hibachi chef and a photo of Hailey sitting at a grand piano with Jack in his lap. Regardless of not posting a tribute, it appeared Hailey spent the day with the new dad as she reposted one of his snapshots of her and their son together but did not make any mention of Justin and did not wish him a happy Father's Day on social media. The conflict comes after a prominent LA-based divorce attorney exclusively shared with that Justin could end up with half of Hailey Bieber's payout for her billion-dollar cosmetics empire if they should divorce. However, she is not likely to gain much from the massive sale of his song catalog. Hailey has lately has been celebrating the third successful year of her beauty company. She and her co-founders recently sold the company to e.l.f. Beauty for $1 billion, although she remains the face of the company, and will serve as Chief Creative Officer and Head of Innovation. The singer posted this on Saturday. 'Why you so angry?' a fan asked. 'Go play with your child. You're a father now. Grow up, Justin.' Another suggested 'THERAPY!!!!!' Just one day after the announcement, Selena Gomez's cosmetics company Rare Beauty posted two snaps of its founder and simply captioned them with, 'Still here.' One of the images showed the Bad Liar songstress blowing a kiss towards the camera, while another featured her staring into the lens with a sultry look on her face. Many fans became convinced that Selena was subtly poking fun at Hailey's sale with the post, and they were not amused. Hailey's supporters quickly flooded the replies of the post with angry messages. 'It seems like Hailey is always on her mind. Pathetic,' one outraged user wrote. 'The way she's actually shady as hell,' added another. As a result, the two have now unfollowed each other on social media after trying to put an end to their alleged feud, created after Bieber married Gomez's ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber, in 2018. The couple are now the parents of a nearly one-year-old son, Jack. Justin Bieber's recent series of cryptic and often angry online posts have caused some concern among his fans and lead to speculation that his nearly seven-year marriage is being strained. After posting a photo of himself next to four angry emojis on Saturday, followers once again reached out to the troubled singer. 'WE GOT YO BACK BROTHER,' wrote one fan. However, others seemed to be encouraging the Grammy winner to get a grip on himself. 'Why you so angry? Go play with your child. You're a father now. Grow up, Justin,' advised one fan. 'Explain why you feel sorry for a millionaire who created the world he is in? Grow up, get off drugs take control of your life you have a kid to raise. It's not about you anymore….,' wrote another. 'Anger is always the sister of deep sadness »… Hope you'll find a way to free yourself from it,' admonished a fan, while another suggested he go to 'THERAPY!!!!!'

Jodie Turner-Smith puts on a leggy display in distressed shorts and a fitted T-shirt as she steps out in Manhattan with her best friend Nancy
Jodie Turner-Smith looked as stylish as ever as she stepped out in Manhattan's SoHo with her best friend Nancy Gomez on Friday. The British actress, 38, put on a leggy display in a pair of denim shorts and a fitted black T-shirt. She kept comfortable in a pair of flat, black ballet pumps and she completed her outfit with a large, yellow Burberry shoulder bag. Meanwhile, photographer Nancy cut an equally casual figure in an oversized white T-shirt. She completed the look with a pair of black sunglasses and a baseball cap and they appeared in excellent spirits as they headed out for a stroll. The friends are often seen together and they are so close that Jodie joked about them 'never beating the lesbian allegations' on social media in May. She had shared a playful picture of them sharing a kiss with Jodie captioning her cheeky words, with Nancy responding: 'Like ever lol.' Their jovial outing comes after a difficult time amid Jodie's bitter custody battle with her ex-husband Joshua Jackson, 46, over their five-year-old daughter Juno. Relations between the pair took a further downward turn earlier this month when she appeared to compare him to a Disney villain. Jodie and the Dawson's Creek star split in October 2023 citing 'irreconcilable differences' reportedly caused by their busy work schedules - after first sparking up a romance in 2018 and welcoming daughter Juno, now five. The Queen & Slim actress took to Instagram earlier this month to share a cryptic post showing an array of Disney villains, who at first appeared nice. The post read: 'Why don't you like that person? They seem so nice. You know who else seemed to be nice?' with Jodie adding the caption 'stay safe out there ' Their jovial outing comes after a difficult time amid Jodie's bitter custody battle with her ex-husband Joshua Jackson (pictured in 2022), 46, over their five-year-old daughter Juno The post came after Joshua filed a motion and request for an emergency custody order modification, according to court documents obtained by E! News. In the motion, filed on May 30, he claimed Jodie changed their five-year-old daughter's school for kindergarten without his permission. He claimed she selected an establishment that was outside of the 45-minute commute time from his home that they had previously agreed upon. He requested that Juno remains at her current school where she is 'flourishing' and is seeking joint consent with her ex-wife over any decisions regarding her education.
