1. Pusha T and Jeremy Allen White star in new Louis Vuitton Campaign

Pusha T and Jeremy Allen White star in Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2026 menswear campaign, a cinematic project that places the two house ambassadors aboard a nostalgic train journey inspired by themes of travel and liberation.

Designed by men’s creative director Pharrell Williams, The Art of Travel campaign was photographed by Drew Vickers and captures the duo in relaxed tailoring, flamboyant layers, and bold accessories meant to evoke dressing for the joy of movement itself. Set against rugged landscapes and fleeting, liminal moments, the visuals frame Williams’ reimagining of a modern dandy’s wardrobe as both expressive and wearable for everyday life.

Across the campaign, Louis Vuitton’s signature travel pieces, including the Speedy P9, oversized trunks, keepalls, and totes, feature prominently, adding flashes of color and texture influenced by Williams’ global inspirations from Mumbai to Paris. The campaign debuted across print and digital platforms on January 6, with the Spring/Summer 2026 men’s collection already available in stores worldwide as of January 1, according to the brand.

White, best known for The Bear and Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, was named a Louis Vuitton ambassador in June 2025, while Pusha T formalized his long-standing creative partnership with Williams by becoming a house ambassador in July 2024.

Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has disclosed that she recently underwent drug tests months after facing public accusations of drug addiction following her highly publicized separation from her billionaire husband, Ned Nwoko. In a post shared on her Instagram page, the actress described the period as deeply overwhelming, saying it felt like everything she once knew was falling apart.

Daniels explained that her decision to take the tests was driven by a sense of responsibility to her supporters and those who look up to her, stressing that the move was not only about clearing her name but also about accountability and peace of mind. She credited her ability to endure the ordeal to the love, patience, and understanding she received from her family, friends, and members of the public.

Addressing the allegations directly, Daniels denied being involved with hard drugs, describing the claims as fabricated and damaging, and hinted at possible legal action in the future. She emphasized that the past few months marked a major turning point in her life, one that forced her into deep self-reflection and personal growth.

According to the actress, the experience has made her more intentional about her choices and the direction of her life, prioritizing integrity, accountability, and inner peace over public opinion. Daniels added that the chapter represents a journey of self-discovery, declaring that she has chosen to define her own narrative and move forward stronger despite the controversy.

A Paris court on Monday convicted 10 people for the online harassment of France’s first lady, Brigitte Macron, over false claims that she is a transgender woman who was born male. The eight men and two women were found guilty of spreading malicious allegations about her gender and sexuality, including repeated assertions that she was born under the name Jean-Michel Trogneux, which is in fact the name of her older brother. The ruling marks a legal victory for Brigitte Macron and President Emmanuel Macron, who have increasingly turned to the courts to challenge years of online abuse, misinformation, and attacks linked to their 24-year age difference.

The court handed down a range of penalties, including one six-month jail sentence without suspension, suspended prison terms of up to eight months for others, fines, mandatory cyber-harassment awareness courses, and bans from social media platforms used to post the comments. Some defendants argued their remarks were satirical, a defense the court rejected, while at least one said he would appeal.

The decision comes as the Macrons pursue a separate defamation case in the United States against right-wing influencer Candace Owens over similar claims. Speaking recently to French television channel TF1, Brigitte Macron said her legal action was intended to set an example against cyberbullying, stressing that online harassment can be relentless and that confronting it publicly could help protect others, particularly adolescents.

A$AP Rocky, Baby Keem, and Kali Uchis will headline the 2026 Governors Ball, which returns to Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, New York, from June 5 to 7, festival organizers announced on Tuesday. Timed with New York Music Month, the three-day event features a wide-ranging lineup that blends major headliners, legacy acts, and rising talent. Friday night will be led by Lorde and Baby Keem, with additional performances from Mariah the Scientist, KATSEYE, and more. Saturday’s slate closes with Stray Kids and Kali Uchis, joined by acts including Major Lazer, Ravyn Lenae, Blood Orange, and flowerovlove, while Sunday culminates with sets from A$AP Rocky and JENNIE.

Sunday’s lineup is expected to be one of the weekend’s biggest draws, featuring rare live appearances from Clipse alongside Freddie Gibbs & The Alchemist, among others. Rocky’s return to Governors Ball marks a full-circle moment for the Harlem rapper, who last headlined the festival in 2021, and comes as he prepares to release his long-awaited album Don’t Be Dumb on January 16, 2026. The anticipation around his performance is heightened by the recent release of the album’s lead single, “Punk Rocky,” signaling a new creative chapter ahead of the summer festival season. Presale tickets go on sale Thursday, January 8, followed immediately by the general public on-sale.

Neymar has signed a longer-than-expected contract extension with Santos, committing his future to his boyhood club until the end of 2026 ahead of this year’s World Cup. The 33-year-old forward had been heavily linked with a move away from the Brazilian giants, with speculation connecting him to Serie A champions Flamengo and several other clubs as his previous deal was due to expire at the end of 2025. Instead, the former Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain star has chosen continuity, extending his stay beyond the initially anticipated World Cup timeframe and reaffirming his desire to achieve what he described as the “dreams that are missing” with Santos.

Santos confirmed the extension on Tuesday, ending months of uncertainty over Neymar’s future following his return to the club in early 2025 after his contract with Al-Hilal was terminated. Despite an up-and-down season, Neymar played a key role in helping Santos retain their top-flight status. He also remains influential both on and off the pitch as he recovers from knee surgery. In a statement, the Brazil international expressed his deep affection for the club, calling Santos his home and saying he feels “safe and happy” wearing the famous white shirt.

The extended deal gives Neymar additional time to prove his fitness and form at the club level as he works toward a potential return to the national team ahead of the World Cup.
