The YouTuber stated that she wouldn’t be purchasing one at any point in the future.

Labubu dolls are unavoidable, regardless of whether you adore them or hate them, and it seems like they won’t be going away anytime soon.

The fluffy clip-on creatures have decorated the handbags of A-listers including Blackpink’s Lisa, Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and Dua Lipa, becoming one of the more peculiar fashion trends in recent times.

Manufactured by Chinese toy company Pop Mart, these wearable figures have now conquered the globe, with the BBC revealing in June that customs authorities had confiscated 70,000 counterfeit dolls within days as their appeal skyrocketed.

As appetite for the dolls remains strong, online style influencer and vlogger Emma Chamberlain shared her thoughts on them in today’s instalment (August 24) of her Anything Goes podcast.

During the episode, the 24-year-old analysed Labubus and white vest tops, questioning whether they were “trendy or timeless”, reports OK!

She continued, “They’re cute but they perfectly go with the trend we’ve been discussing for the past year or two, which is Jane Birkin-ing the bag.”

It’s basically hanging a number of key chains, jewelry, and other accessories from a purse to add some style and personalization. The Labubu was already a popular trend before it became available, and we now have a fun collectible stuffed animal to put on our bags. “

She acknowledged to like the way the dolls appear, but she was offended by the extreme demand and the “blind box” packaging, which prevents customers from seeing which Labubu character they are purchasing.

She stated, “The only reason I haven’t bought one is because the culture and the general pattern are too extreme for me right now […]… [There are five-hour lines waiting for a Labubu.

It’s a brilliant business model, but the culture of buying a lot of them and collecting them all, with the result that I’m hesitant to participate. “

She admitted that she would be eager to purchase one from the secondhand market as soon as Labubu owners were no longer interested in the trend.

“I would honestly rather wait until all these people that bought the Labubus are like ‘Oh wait I’m sick of it’ and then they start putting them on eBay for really cheap. Then maybe I’ll get one because I do like them.

Malcolm McDowell, Lily Collins’ father-in-law, revealed his opinions on the Netflix series Emily In Paris.

Lily Collins’ father-in-law, Malcolm McDowell, shared his true feelings for her popular Netflix series, Emily In Paris. Launching on the streaming service in 2020, the hit comedy-drama follows a fashionista in her late 20s, Emily Cooper (played by Lily Collins), who moves from Chicago to Paris when she lands a job at a respected French marketing firm.

She quickly makes new friends and finds herself ensnared in complex romantic tangles as she adjusts to the many difficulties of her new European surroundings. Fans have been a huge hit with the show, but critics have criticized it for portraying the nation and its people unrealistically.

Malcolm McDowell, an actor for A Clockwork Orange, acknowledged he had never watched Lily’s series and that the plot didn’t appeal to him.

He told People, “I know it’s not my kind of thing, and Lily knows that.” However, my daughter-in-law is my biggest fan. She is unquestionably one of the best actresses, in my opinion.

Charlie McDowell, Malcom’s son, and Lily McDowell wed in 2021. Malcolm said he is proud of Phil Collins’ daughter, but he doesn’t watch the show.

She is so beautiful, she. When she appears on screen, there is no one else on it, in my opinion, because she is both a talented actress and a beautiful person. It’s a “charismatic” quality, he continued.

Emily found her feet in Rome after she first left the French capital in Season 4. Venice has been added as a new location in Season 5, which continues the story in Rome.

Netflix announced that Emily will continue to lead Agence Grateau Rome as she navigates her career and find her true love on December 18th, with the next season’s 10 episodes debuting on December 18th.

A work idea backfires, and the result is heartache and career setbacks, according to the official synopsis.

Emily “leans into her French lifestyle until one of her closest relationships is threatened by a big secret.”

Emily “acquires conflict with honesty, making connections with a fresh perspective, and a willingness to take on new possibilities”

Hozier delivered a moving speech that included support for Palestine and the rap group Kneecap, according to the BBC, explaining the rationale for not broadcasting his performance.

The BBC has spoken out about Hozier’s performance at Reading Festival and explained the reason behind his performance not being broadcast. The Reading and Leeds headliner reportedly had an agreement with the broadcaster for his performance to not be shown on iPlayer.

On August 22, Hozier took to the stage with a performance that went beyond the music to express his passionate opinions on issues such as equality, rap group Kneecap, and Palestine.

He began by examining famous people throughout history who have used music to deliver speeches, including name-checking stars like Nina Simone, Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez, and Ewan MacColl.

He went on to say: “I think people want to see human beings live in peace and safety, and security. I think that people would want to see that for their neighbours. They would want to see that for members of their community. I believe that people would want to see people they don’t know live with peace and safety, and security. Am I right?” It comes as Katie releases a statement after Alex Reid leaks bombshell cash counting video

The musician continued, “Seeing a Palestine that is free from occupation, that is free from these cycles of genocide and violence, and that is free to move toward meaningful self-determination and statehood” for the sake of everyone in the Middle East.

While many artists were livestreamed onto BBC iPlayer, Hozier was not and many fans were left disappointed. The BBC has responded to the criticism and explained in a statement to The Metro why Hozier’s set was not broadcast.

The statement read: “Viewers can enjoy a wide range of performances and highlights from Reading and Leeds Festival on BBC iPlayer, BBC Music’s YouTube channel, BBC One and Radio 1. As mutually agreed ahead of Reading Festival, Hozier chose not to be included in the BBC’s coverage.”

Following backlash over live-streaming Bob Vylan’s set at Glastonbury, the BBC announced it would no longer be showing any performances it believed might be “high risk” in the future.

The band’s set was live-streamed as they performed before Kneecap’s set on the West Holts Stage at Worthy Farm. The band chanted “Free Palestine” and “Death to the IDF” before moving on.

Since then, the BBC has expressed regret for not intervening and halting its programming. The organization stated in a statement that “we fully understand the strength of feeling regarding Bob Vylan’s live broadcast of Glastonbury on the BBC.

We regret deeply that the BBC broadcast such offensive and repulsive behavior, and we apologise to both our viewers and listeners, particularly the Jewish community. We are also unwavering in our conviction that the BBC cannot tolerate antisemitism.

Cheryl Fergison, the actress from Eastenders, may be happily married right now, but her first marriage ended when the 59-year-old began doing some “solid detective work” to find out what he had been up to.

Cheryl Fergison is best known for playing hapless Heather Trott in EastEnders. But, as her explosive new autobiography, Behind The Scenes, reveals, her life off-screen was often more dramatic than her plotlines in the BBC1 soap.

“I have always worn my heart on my sleeve, so I hope my story is relatable,” says Cheryl, who has bravely revealed how she suffered a stroke in May, which has left her walking with a stick.

I’ve had to accept a lot of things. Before I could talk about it, I had to process it. The moment is right now.

When Cheryl, who played Heather from 2007 to 2012, realized Jay Saddiqi, the father of her 25-year-old son, was cheating, she climbed into the car and realized it.

She says, “I pulled the seatbelt across my body and it hit me,” according to an excerpt from her book. a scent . Not mine, but light, sweet, floral, and powdery.

Why, Jay, can I feel the perfume on my seatbelt? I remarked, “Sniffing it like a bloodhound.”

He slammed his head against his face, and his eyes flashed in a resentment. Cheryl, you’re imagining things.

“‘ I’m not. It has a strong foundation. I can tell right away that I once again held the strap in my nose.

Jay sighed loudly and slammed his steering wheel. It’s most likely one of the young people at work. Their aftershave, perhaps? You’re acting paranoidly.

Oh, please stop.” When did the security firm’s employees first smell like duty-free perfume shops?

He walked away from the windscreen and glared at him. What do we do when we go shopping?

Every time I enter a car and buckle up my seatbelt, I smell it, to this day.

“I started to think that my husband was having an affair with me, but I was able to persuade myself that I was wrong.”

Then, a caller ID for a number Cheryl didn’t recognize showed up in a phone bill. A woman responded to her call. However, Jay was the voice on the line when she returned.

She went there to confront him after doing some “solid detective work” and later discovered where they were meeting.

She describes what she thought to be a “dingy, makeshift love nest.”

She writes: “And there, perched on the dirty bed she shared with my husband, was a skinny blonde woman, sipping a bright blue WKD like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Jay was seated next to her, caught in the headlights, and silently and still unwilling to offer any assistance. Not even an ounce of shame, not even an apology, or an explanation.

James Norton, an actor, has refuted rumors that he’s dating Lily Allen after they allegedly shared kisses at a festival in London earlier this year.

James Norton has addressed rumours of a romance with Lily Allen that emerged following reports the pair allegedly shared a kiss. Speaking about a story from June involving a supposed “snog” with the ‘Smile’ singer at the Lido Festival in London’s Victoria Park, James hinted that the reality becomes clear when you examine the photographs.

During a recent chat with the Guardian, the subject of relationships came up with the King & Conqueror actor, who parted ways with his former fiancée Imogen Poots in 2023, along with what the publication described as the “oppressive” scrutiny that his romantic life attracts.

He stated that he constantly strikes a balance between “authenticity with privacy” and that he doesn’t want to talk about his relationships “at all” and doesn’t like being spotted by paparazzi.

James explained: “I want to be honest but I don’t want to talk about my relationships at all and I don’t like it when I get photographed with a friend walking down the street and it’s then told the next day like it’s a romance. Another romance!”

Additionally, it became clear that this discussion took place just one week before the festival incident. James responded to accusations of kissing the singer by saying, “I’m not snogging them!” Isn’t that funny, isn’t it?

He continued, “I’m a man in London who goes on occasional dates, meets people, lives his life, and it’s kind of nobody’s business really.”

The Sun published the allegations, stating that the duo were spotted at the festival watching Charli XCX’s performance before heading to a “backstage compound”.

According to a “onlooker,” James and Lily “looked very inward and were snogging backstage.” We were all quite taken aback when we saw them together, let alone kissing.

Additionally, the publication claimed that Paul Mescal and Harris Dickinson were present at the after-party and that Lily and James allegedly got married via Raya, a popular dating app.

It was reported earlier this month that Lily and Stranger Things actor David Harbour were going to leave the townhouse in New York.

The former couple, who got hitched in 2020, split last year after purchasing the Brooklyn property after their Las Vegas wedding. The Mirror reports that Lily has since bought a former council flat in London.

Lily’s self-catering habit seems to be centered on interior design, revealing to the publication that she has been using design magazines for her rumored new home in Notting Hill.

She continued, “I’m really enjoying those at the moment. It’s obvious that I’ve had a lot of trouble, and that has really helped me.”

Cheryl Fergison, a national soap star, discovered that her accountant had duped her after leaving Celebrity Big Brother and with nothing.

She’s best known for playing Heather Trott in EastEnders. But away from our TV screens, Cheryl Fergison has lived a life worthy of any soap script. Now, in her explosive new autobiography, Behind The Scenes, she reveals the highs and lows of being in the spotlight, as well as the private happiness, heartbreak and tragedy she has endured.

Cheryl, who bravely revealed how she had a stroke in May and was left walking with a stick, says, “I have always worn my heart on my sleeve. I hope my story is relatable.” I have had to accept a lot of things. Before I could talk about it, I had to process it. The moment is right now.

In day two of our exclusive series, in extracts adapted from her book, she tells how she was left penniless after being scammed by her own accountant. She says: “I’m a survivor. It’s not that I’m a glass half full person; I just know I am lucky to have a glass at all.”

“I wanted to pulverise him, really I did. I wanted to grab him by the collar and scream in his face. I wanted him to feel the crushing panic I’d felt, the betrayal and the grief,” says Cheryl, as she recounts how, in 2012, she emerged from the Celebrity Big Brother house to news that her accountant had conned her.

I paid him for five years. He hid the funds for five years without giving anything to HMRC. I had built nothing, saved nothing, and worked nothing.

I don’t say “hate” very frequently. You can’t always take back a word that’s used in this context, but I meant it. I detested him. Not just for what he did, but also for how I felt about myself.

“For the mess he left behind,” he said. For every miserable night, every tear, every humiliating phone call to the bank, the tax office, and friends trying to figure out how to keep my head above water.

Everyone expects a lot of money from you, so going broke when you’re famous is the worst. You are presumed to be minted, by some. They don’t think you’re juggling overdrafts, maxed out credit cards, payday loans, and mountain of bills. But that’s where I ended up.

“I’d just come out of one of the biggest soaps in the country, I’d done Celebrity Big Brother. I was still in the papers, still recognised in the street, but behind the scenes, I was totally skint.’”

Cheryl, of Cleveleys, Blackpool, who was in EastEnders from 2007 to 2012, was grateful for the support of her second husband Yassim al-Jemoni, 39, and son Alex, 25, by first husband Jay Saddiqi.

After eight years of marriage, she sadly divorced her first husband, Afghan refugee Jay Saddiqi, Alex’s father. She reveals how one day, when she climbed into the car, she realized he had been cheating on her.

She recalls that she was struck by the seatbelt as she pulled it across my body. a scent . Not mine, but light, sweet, floral, and powdery.

Why, Jay, can I feel the perfume on my seatbelt? I responded, “sneaking it like a bloodhound,” He slammed his head against his head, his eyes flashing in a resentment. Cheryl, you’re imagining things.

How I flew to Morocco tomorrow to meet my future husband.

Steve McFadden, the star of EastEnders, discusses Cheryl’s role as his “sis” in a giddy-up front of her book.

He asserts that “you can choose your friends, not your family, but occasionally someone crosses the line.” Cheryl is that. She is my sister in every way, but she is also my sister in every way. If I’d ever had a sister growing up, I would have wanted her to be like Cheryl, and she calls me “big bruv.”

Everyone who gets to know her is completely adored, hearty to the core, and full of love.

We “just clicked” right away when I met Cheryl. We laughed and snuffed each other up like two mischievous kids. No filter or judgment was used, just pure openness and that brilliant, wicked humor.

She’s the kind of person who will appear in a room full of chaos like a cheeky little meerkat, with eyes wide open, full of energy, always looking for the funny side.

“Cheryl is a breath of fresh air,” she says. She doesn’t care about negativity; she wants to lift people, make them laugh, and make them feel better.

Let’s not forget that she is a talented actress. She belongs wherever she can be seen, whether it’s on stage, in a movie, on television, or anywhere else. Her magic has come to life in person.

She even performed at my mother’s 70th birthday, singing Beatles songs all the way down the Thames while cruising on a Dutch barge, no less. Heads were definitely turning.

“Life hasn’t always been easy on her,” she says. She’s experienced a lot of knocks, far more than most, but she never let anything prevent her from getting up or letting her down for very long.

She continues to soldier despite this. Even when life throws her a curveball, she finds the gold in the grit.
