    Celebrity

    Celebrity brings together the daily churn of film, television, music and public life – new releases and reviews, casting and career decisions, and the milestones and anniversaries that mark long careers. It sits alongside the industry stories running behind the scenes, from streaming platforms chasing their next hit to studios and public figures navigating controversy and scrutiny.

    It matters because celebrity culture is where entertainment, business and public opinion regularly collide. A single remark from an actor, a strategic pivot by a studio, or a scandal involving a well-known figure can shape conversations well beyond the entertainment pages, touching on politics, corporate ethics and shifting public attitudes.

    This is also where readers can follow the more personal threads: the choices performers make about their craft, the private moments that spill into public view, and the tributes paid to figures who have shaped culture over decades. It's a topic built for keeping up with both the headline moment and the person behind it.

    • iPhone Duo’s subtle crease may take months to assess

      Apple’s first foldable iPhone, the iPhone Duo, appears to make its screen crease far less noticeable through a matte nano-texture coating that reduces reflections.

Foldable screens naturally develop creases through repeated folding, and existing models can become…
