Miss Thailand, Anna Sueangam-iam, wore a dress made of soda can tabs combined with Swarovski crystals as a tribute to her parents during the preliminary evening gown competition.
"This gown was inspired by the familiar surroundings of my childhood," she wrote on Instagram. "Growing up with garbage collector parents, my life as a child was among piles of garbage and recyclables. This unique gown was purposefully tailor-made with discarded and recycled materials, namely the 'Can Tab' to present to the UNIVERSE that what's considered worthless by many actually possesses its own value and beauty. Thank you all for seeing it, hearing it, and hopefully being that message of self-worth."
Per her official Miss Universe bio:
Anna Sueangam-iam was born and raised in a slum in Bangkok with her father. In an effort to protect her from an unsafe environment, her family sent her to a temple where she grew up among Buddhist nuns. Here her meals consisted of leftover food from the monks which most people would consider waste. However, it helped her to grow up and survive childhood life. At an early age, poverty differentiated her life at school from other children, especially the cost of tuition. In order to cover her tuition fees, she had to collect merit points, donate blood every semester, collect plastic waste bottles, and clean public restrooms. This experience made her question the accessibility Thai children had to education.
It is the year of our lord 2023 and this shower curtain mystery has still not been solved. In a world of TikToks and Reels, the people at Vox made a YouTube Short™ to help the mystery go viral once again.
The subreddit remains devoted to finding out whoever it is. The Brad Pitt theory has been abandoned.
25 year old Maude Apatow (Euphoria), daughter of Judd Apatow (The Larry Sanders Show, Freaks & Geeks, Undeclared, The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Anchorman, Talladega Nights), will make her stage debut in the off Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors.

Nancy Grace and her TV crew set up a table outside the Idaho home where 4 students were murdered. Locals (and the internet in general) were not amused and clowned her "bake sale table." There were also several smiling group selfies posted, that she took with her crew.
A nearby house set up a banner with their thoughts:
Piqu'e’s parents live right next door to Shakira and his mother allegedly knew about his mistress and even meet with her all the time while him and Shakira were still together.
The press has recently noticed that Shakira has had, for a few weeks now, a witch on one of her balconies, looking in the direction of her former mother in law’s house. The witch is always groomed and positioned correctly by maids. The ex mother in law reportedly contacted one of Shakira’s staff to get rid of the witch but to no avail. Now the press is camping for more witch sightings.

It's just another fun interview from Prince Harry following the release of his Freudian memoir 'Spare Us'. This time he talks to Bryony Gordon. About what, you ask? His loving family and how he has enough dirt on his brother and loving papa to write an encyclopedia.
“The first draft was different, it was 800 pages, and now it’s down to 400 pages. It could have been two books, put it that way. And the hard bit was taking things out.”. Someone please do a wellness check on J.R. Moehringer. That man has heard unspeakable things lol.
Anyways, he also revealed that while he does have a lot of unpublished pages of his burn book, he will not release them as he still is hopeful his family will let him and Meghan sit at their table again. He also feared it would cause an unrepairable rift. “There are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don’t want the world to know,” Harold said. “Because I don’t think they would ever forgive me.”That ship has sailed, beloved
Haz acknowledged that he knew he was “going to get trashed” for including so many details about his family but defended the decision by insisting it was impossible to tell his story without their inclusion.
He also explained that he feels a “responsibility” to reform the monarchy for the sake of his two nephews and niece. He should get the Nobel Prize this year, lol.
“I know that out of those three children, at least one will end up like me, the spare. And that hurts, it worries me,” he said before admitting that Prince William has “made it very clear to me that his kids are not my responsibility.”Ouch!
He keeps threatening us with a good time, that raggedy ginge!
Has your brother ever said to you to mind your own business, ONTD? Source

Austin Butler and Baz Luhrmann have released statements on the untimely passing of Lisa Marie Presley.
Butler said in a statement:
"My heart is completely shattered for Riley, Finley, Harper and Priscilla at the tragic and unexpected loss of Lisa Marie. I am eternally grateful for the time I was lucky enough to be near her bright light and will forever cherish the quiet moments we shared. Her warmth, her love and her authenticity will always be remembered."
Riley Keough's rep has also confirmed that Lisa Marie will be laid to rest at Graceland, next to her son Benjamin, who passed away in 2020. Most of the Presley family is buried in the Meditation Garden at Graceland, including Elvis and his parents Gladys and Vernon.
Noma, the expensive restaurant with 3 Michelin stars in Copenhagen is planning to close. Chef Ren'e Redzepi announced he was closing one of the world's most lauded restaurants because the model was unsustainable and financially and emotionally draining.
Comparisons between Noma and The Menu, the goth Ralph Fiennes movie about an expensive restaurant have surfaced, since the movie puts a light on the extreme labor abuse that happens behind close doors on lauded restaurants. Clients only experience the exquisite food but don’t realize what happens hidden. Noma welcomed the presence of unpaid interns, known in the restaurant world as stagiaires. Stagiaires have been part of the restaurant world for a long time and have been liked to an indenture in order to boast their work experience by adding top notch restaurants as past experience.
On the other hand some are declaring that fine dining has suffered a lethal blow. Frank Bruni categorized Noma as one of those “internationally renowned, ardently coveted temples of gastronomy that are forever trying to dazzle self-regarding epicures with new stunts, novel sensations, modes of presentation that we hadn’t imagined, flora and fauna rarely pinned down on a plate.”
Either way the restaurant has been both lauded and mocked for its menu and its snobbery or upscale air, depending on where you stand. It famously had 3 seasonal menus based on moss, exotic ingredients like reindeer, blue lobster and cod head and an extensive natural wines selection.
