Twelve people will stand trial in Paris over a $10 million jewelry heist targeting Kim Kardashian West in 2016, authorities said Friday (Nov. 19).

Electronic Music Legend Giorgio Moroder Is Auctioning Off a Supercar Named After Him
There’s a very short list of luxury designers with songs named after them—think Jay-Z’s “Tom Ford” or Migos’ “Versace.” But a musician with a luxury product named after them? It’s almost unheard of. It’s not too elusive a club for electronic dance music legend Giorgio Moroder, however. Not only does the man known as the “Father of Disco” have a song named after him on Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories, but a rare supercar is his namesake as well. Someone will soon own the prized Moroder supercar for themselves after the legendary music producer opted to sell the vehicle at Sotheby’s in 2022. Sotheby’s called it “an unrepeatable opportunity for collectors.” The 1988 Cizeta-Moroder V16T was ...
Tourette Syndrome Isn’t Getting In the Way of This Guy Learning to DJ
“I put the Tik in TikTok,” reads Leighton Clarke’s TikTok bio. Affectionately known as Uncle Tics, Clarke isn’t letting his Tourette syndrome get in the way of learning the art of DJing. Uncle Tics told himself at the beginning of New Zealand’s pandemic lockdown that he was going to learn a new skill. So he picked up DJing and his TikTok fanbase has been nothing but supportive, with many stating that they would love to see him perform at a music festival. Take a look at the first video of his “Tourettes vs DJ’ing” series below. In the clip, Uncle Tics drops a number of high-energy drum & bass tracks as he shouts parts of “Circle of Life” from The Lion King—as well as some NSFW remarks we can’t transcribe here. The EDM co...
Lady Gaga Stuns in Billowing Purple Chiffon Gown on First ‘House of Gucci’ Red Carpet
Of course, she wore Gucci. Lady Gaga is back on the red carpet in a big way. The House of Gucci star stepped out for the U.K. premiere of the movie in London on Tuesday (Nov. 9), and stunned in a billowing purple gown that, unsurprisingly, was plucked straight from Gucci’s spring 2022 Love Parade runway show that took place in Los Angeles last week. Gaga — who posed along co-stars Adam Driver, Jared Leto and Salma Hayek on the carpet — turned heads in a royal purple pleated-chiffon floor-length gown from Gucci’s latest collection, making her the first star to be publicly seen wearing a look from the ready-to-wear line since the fashion show. To complete the look, Gaga wore thigh-high black fishnet stockings from the collection, which were on display thanks to t...
Watch Cardi B Get Starstruck Meeting Robert Pattinson: ‘Look at My Friend, Guys’
This is just one of Cardi’s most recent exciting encounters with other famous people.
