55 m. ago Saldaña squished and Chalamet chafing as Ariana and Cynthia bag the best seats: the 2025 Oscars class photo

The Academy Award nominees assembled for their annual group portrait, but who scooped the prize for looking the most bored?Every year during Oscars week, it has become tradition for all the nominees to meet up and eat a meal together. This is usually followed by a group photo; something that the people in attendance can look back upon and cherish, knowing that for this one moment all competition fell away and they found joy in surrounding themselves with their gifted colleagues.At least that’s the idea. As anyone who has ever been in a group photo will attest, these things are an absolute mess. There are simply too many people to control, and the resulting image is generally a free-for-all of weird costumes, odd expressions and seemingly hostile body language. As such, let’s use this year’s Oscars class photo to hand out some awards of our own. Continue reading...

2 h. ago Melania Trump doesn’t want to play the role of first lady – but she doesn’t mind making $28m | Arwa Mahdawi

She has been all but absent from Washington since her husband returned to the White House. Instead, her energy has been poured into monetising her status(Wide-brimmed) hats off to Melania Trump, who has got herself one of the cushiest gigs in existence. Technically, she is the US’s first lady, but she has made it very clear that she has no interest in any of the tedious duties that normally accompany the role.The former model was hands-off during her husband’s first term and it seems she intends to be even more detached from public life now; no shaking hands with commoners or kissing screaming babies. She has been noticeably absent from Washington in the past month, so much so that when she finally reappeared at the White House on Saturday, for an annual dinner with state governors, the mere fact that she showed up made headlines.
