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.

Why Kourtney Kardashian didn’t Include Scott Disick in Her Father’s Day Tribute

Kourtney Kardashian Barker’s Father’s Day post for husband Travis Barker drew attention online, not for what it included, but for who was left out.

The reality star celebrated the holiday with a series of Instagram photos of Barker and their son, Rocky, captioning the carousel “baby daddy .” The tribute focused squarely on her husband and their current family life, prompting fans to question the absence of Scott Disick, father to her three older children.

According to People, those close to the family says the omission wasn’t intended as a slight.

“Kourtney did not mean to disrespect Scott with her Father’s Day post,” a source told People. “Kourt and Travis are such a strong family unit now, it just felt right to pay tribute to Travis.”

Kourtney and Disick share Mason, Penelope, and Reign, and have spent years co-parenting since they separated. Despite not being mentioned, Disick reportedly took no offense. The source added that he respects Kourtney and Travis’ relationship and values the stable environment they’ve built for their blended family. The children have also grown close to Rocky, born in November 2023.

The approach marks a shift from last year. For Father’s Day 2025, Kourtney’s message acknowledged the full blended family, including Barker’s son Landon, daughter Alabama, and stepdaughter Atiana.

Khloé Kardashian Opens Up About Her Cosmetic Enhancements and Injectables

After nearly two decades in the spotlight, Khloé Kardashian is embracing a more open approach to conversations about cosmetic procedures.

The Kardashians star addressed her cosmetic procedures in a People interview published June 18, explaining why she decided to list them publicly last year. The choice came after years of speculation and online commentary about her appearance.

“This gentleman was dictating all these things that I did,” said Khloé, 41, referencing social media claims. “If I did, I would totally say that. I don’t have a problem with it.”

But setting the record straight mattered. “I also want people to know, not that anyone thinks this is all natural, but it’s not,” she added. “There is maintenance involved. I’ve been in the public eye since I was 21. Age has something to do with it, weight loss for sure. But yes, I’ve had enhancements. I’ve had my nose done. I love any sort of laser or injectable.”

Khloé, mom to daughter True and son Tatum with ex Tristan Thompson, said she’s currently focused on non-invasive treatments. While she isn’t ruling out a facelift in the future, like mom Kris Jenner, she prefers lasers and injectables for now. “Before I need to get my face surgically done, I’m going to do all the lasers and injectables or whatever that I can,” she said.

She previously confirmed receiving Botox, Sculptra injections, Sofwave laser treatments, a nose job, and collagen threads under her chin and neck. She also shares beauty tips with sister Kim Kardashian, swapping recommendations on new treatments. “We’ll go down these rabbit holes,” Khloé said. “I’ll see a stretch mark laser commercial and send it to her. We’re like, ‘We need that.’”

Still, Khloé told People that her sense of beauty comes from time at home. “It sounds so corny, but I do feel most beautiful with my kids,” she said. “Hearing little giggles, having silly dance parties, just rolling on the floor. That’s what I’ve learned is the most beautiful to me.”

Khloé joins a growing list of celebrities who’ve spoken openly about their cosmetic work, including Julia Fox, Ariana Grande, Martha Stewart, and Selena Gomez.

The Oscar-winning actress shared the news on Instagram on June 19, following recent sightings of her baby bump while vacationing in Saint-Tropez. Anne Hathaway is expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman. The actor confirmed the pregnancy on Instagram on Friday, June 19, through a short video set to “Baby I’m Yours” by Barbara Lewis. In the clip, she walks into frame wearing a flowing white linen two-piece from Nothing Fits But, its smocked waistline sitting against a visibly pregnant belly . She cradles her bump, smiles at the camera, and then playfully steps out of frame. The caption reads, “x Baby, I’m yours x.”

The announcement followed weeks of speculation after Hathaway was photographed on vacation in Saint-Tropez, her stomach visible beneath a series of breezy maxi dresses and cover-ups. She was also photographed in a bikini and later in one of her signature wetsuits, with her growing baby bump clearly visible.

Hathaway and Shulman, who married in 2012, already share two sons: Jonathan and Jack, both of whom the couple have raised largely away from public attention.

This is not the first time Hathaway has used an Instagram announcement to speak honestly about the road to pregnancy. In 2019, confirming her second, she wrote: “It’s not for a movie… #2,” before adding: “All kidding aside, for everyone going through infertility and conception hell, please know it was not a straight line to either of my pregnancies. Sending you extra love.”

The announcement comes as Hathaway continues an active period in her career, with several notable roles lined up. She recently reprised her role as Andy Sachs in the long-awaited sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada,” and starred in A24’s “Mother Mary,” a musical psychodrama in which she plays a pop star unraveling at the height of her fame.

Looking ahead, Hathaway will star as Penelope in Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” as well as in the dystopian thriller The End of Oak Street and the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Verity.
