In a perfect storm of fashion catwalk and West End theatrics, Vogue's editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour, is planning a philanthropic arts extravaganza that she hopes will take over the world in the way the Met Gala did while raising money for London's struggling arts scene.Featuring Naomi Campbell, Stormzy and Michaela Coel, alongside the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and the actor Sir Ian McKellen, the evening event will take place at London's Theatre Royal Drury Lane, and include a red carpet outside, a catwalk show within, and live performances overseen by director Stephen Daldry.

With sexually transmitted infections surging to alarming levels in Canada and the U.S. over several years, a number of female entrepreneurs have moved into the condom industry, intent on making change.The $8.3 billion US global business is dominated by five massive companies that produce brands like Durex, Trojan and Lifestyles.

Huh. Where'd all the cryptocurrency go?That's my takeaway from the 2023 Super Bowl commercials, which were different from last year and had a tough opponent they couldn't do much about.The game itself was just too interesting.A boring Super Bowl automatically hands off viewer interest to the commercials, but with a really good game at stake, the ads have to do more than throw some celebrities and titans of nostalgia ("Grease"; "Caddyshack") against the walls of our minds to see what sticks.

NEW YORK A bevy of booze brands will be in the Super Bowl ad lineup this year, now that Anheuser-Busch has ended its exclusive advertising sponsorship after more than 30 years.In addition to celebrities hawking Budweiser and Michelob Ultra, viewers will see some famous folks touting the qualities of Heineken and Coors, and even suggesting they drink cognac or whiskey responsibly, of course.

The future is uncertain.The present is complex.But the past?That's pretty safe terrain for Super Bowl advertisers.This year yet again advertisers have reached into the cultural vaults of decades past.Several spots in Sunday's game feature stars from, and references to, hits from the 1980s and 1990s.

Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka have won a combined five Grand Slam singles titles.Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have won 64.Swiatek, Rybakina and Sabalenka have been at the top of the sport for roughly a year.Some combination of Federer, Nadal and Djokovic has been there the last 20.

Serena Williams has resisted saying publicly that she has retired from tennis and the finality that would bring, but now she has another reason to stay away from competition in the near future.Amid the costume-themed glitz of the Met Gala on Monday night Williams announced, both on the red carpet and on social media, that she was pregnant with her second child.
