Dua Lipa Files $15 Million Lawsuit Against Samsung
Dua Lipa is reportedly pursuing a $15 million claim against Samsung Electronics, alleging that her copyrighted image was used on television packaging without her consent. She alleges that it created the impression she was endorsing the products, even though she never agreed to it.
The case, filed last Friday at the U.S. District Court for Central California, centers on a photo called “Dua Lipa Backstage at Austin City Limits, 2024.” According to Lipa, she owns the rights to this image, but Samsung put it front and center on their TV packaging all over the U.S. throughout 2025.

Her legal team argues the matter goes beyond copyright infringement, claiming it also breaches trademark protections and California’s right of publicity law . The lawsuit says Lipa only discovered her image on the packaging in June 2025 and immediately told Samsung to stop using her likeness.
Samsung’s response was described as “dismissive and callous,” and the packaging remained on shelves. Screenshots of social media posts included in the complaint suggest some consumers were influenced to buy the TVs because of Lipa’s image.
Samsung said the image was provided by a third-party partner for its free streaming service and that it was used only after receiving “explicit assurance” that permission had been secured, including for retail boxes. The company added it is open to a constructive resolution with Lipa’s team.

Lipa’s lawyers argue the alleged unauthorized use has diluted her brand identity and commercial goodwill by falsely suggesting she approves of the products. The filing seeks at least $15 million in damages, along with a permanent injunction and coverage of legal fees.
Lipa is known for being selective with brand partnerships, having worked with Apple, Porsche, Versace, and Nespresso. Her legal team says she would not have consented to this use. Neither Lipa’s representatives nor Samsung have commented further beyond the court filings.

For years, manifestation has been treated as a trend tied to social media culture, vision boards, and motivational quotes. But for Hailey Bieber, it became part of the foundation behind the rise of her skincare brand.
In a recent interview, Bieber revealed that long before Rhode became one of beauty’s fastest-growing brands, she had already set a clear target for its future. She says she repeatedly told herself the company would eventually sell for $1 billion, “not a penny less.”

Three years later, that vision became reality when acquired Rhode in a deal reportedly worth up to $1 billion. The moment has sparked conversations not only about business success , but also about the mindset behind modern entrepreneurship.
Rhode’s rapid rise was not built on celebrity status alone. The brand entered a highly competitive beauty industry with a focused product lineup, strong branding, and a marketing strategy that understood internet culture perfectly . That approach, combined with viral product launches and strong community engagement, helped the company stand out in an already crowded market.

Still, Bieber’s comments reflect a growing shift in how many entrepreneurs talk about ambition. Manifestation, once dismissed by critics as unrealistic optimism, is increasingly being framed as clarity of vision paired with disciplined execution. Confidence alone may not build a billion-dollar company, but having a clear vision can push people to chase goals that once seemed out of reach.
Whether viewed as manifestation or simply strategic ambition, Rhode’s success story highlights the power of setting bold targets early and building relentlessly toward them. In today’s creator-driven business world, vision has become just as important as the product itself.

Days after news broke that his former fiancée Zoë Kravitz had gotten engaged to Harry Styles, the actor returned to Instagram with another repost that left little room for interpretation. The caption: “The level I’m at of letting go and trusting in the flow of the universe.” The accompanying visual: a seal, alone, floating in open water.

It was not the first post of its kind this week. Last Tuesday, Tatum shared a poem by John Roedel that began with the lines: “My brain and heart divorced a decade ago over who was to blame about how big of a mess I have become.” It continued: “Now my head and heart share custody of me.” He also reposted a photograph of a bruised female boxer with the caption “Didn’t go the way I wanted,” a sentiment that carried more meaning than a typical motivational quote.
Tatum and Kravitz dated for three years before their engagement in October 2023, only to call it off a year later. The relationship began when she cast him in “Blink Twice,” her directorial debut, and ended, according to sources, because the two had simply grown apart.
As for Kravitz, she and Styles have been publicly linked since last August, and this spring he proposed with a ring reportedly valued at around $500,000. By all accounts, he also appears to have won over her father, Lenny Kravitz.

Those close to Kravitz say the relationship has changed her approach to relationships. “Zoë has maintained a lot of independence,” an insider told US Weekly. “Her family would joke that one of the reasons men would fall in love with her was because she kept an air of mystery and distance. With Harry, she is operating differently.”
Tatum, for his part, seems to be operating differently too, just in the opposite direction. The Roofman actor, who has largely kept his personal life under wraps outside of these occasional social media dispatches, continues to share reflective reposts on social media.

Welcome to the world, son!!” he wrote. The post also included drawings of a cardinal and a potted plant, references to the names of the couple’s older children. “Having a blast. Sending all our best wishes, the Madden Family,” Madden added, noting that “our kids are healthy & happy, and we are grateful.”

Diaz and Madden are also parents to daughter Raddix Wildflower and son Cardinal. The couple has kept their children out of the public eye, choosing not to post photos or speak about them in interviews.
The birth of Cardinal in 2024 was described as a significant moment for the couple. “They were always hoping for a second baby because they love being parents,” a source told PEOPLE at the time. “For years, Cameron wanted to be a mom. She gets very emotional when she talks about the long journey to motherhood. She feels beyond lucky to now have two children.”

Although Diaz keeps her family life largely private, she has spoken about motherhood and her decision to have children later in life. During a March 2022 appearance on BBC Radio 2, she acknowledged the age gap between herself and many new mothers. “The women who have children my age are like, literally 20 years younger and that’s an interesting place to be because I’m not that age,” Diaz said. “And that’s totally OK. But I want to feel vital like that for my child.”
In an October 2020 interview with Naomi Campbell, she addressed the commitment with characteristic humor: “When you’re my age and you decide to do it, it’s a real choice. You really have to work hard for it. The only pressure for me is like I have to live to be, like 107, you know? So no pressure.” Diaz and Madden married in January 2015, Diaz stepped back from acting to focus on family and business ventures.
