On a more somber note, actor Bruce Willis has been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, according to his family. Willis was previously diagnosed with aphasia in spring 2022.
Here's part of the statement from his family:
"FTD is a cruel disease that many of us have never heard of and can strike anyone. For people under 60, FTD is the most common form of dementia, and because getting the diagnosis can take years, FTD is likely much more prevalent than we know. Today there are no treatments for the disease, a reality that we hope can change in the years ahead. As Bruce’s condition advances, we hope that any media attention can be focused on shining a light on this disease that needs far more awareness and research."
Fashion
Louis Vuitton named Pharrell Williams as its men's creative director, according to a statement from LVMH. He succeeds the late Virgil Abloh.
Robin Givhan, senior critic-at-large at the Washington Post, writes that Louis Vuitton's decision to hire Pharrell "serves as another blow to the belief that fashion design is a skill and not merely an attitude."
The quality of his design will be put to the test this June when his first collection debuts at men's fashion week in Paris.
Did you catch this? Rihanna paid tribute to André Leon Talley, the late Vogue editor, during her Super Bowl performance.
Her red puffer coat was compared to Talley's signature sleeping bag puffer look. Talley's official Instagram account even posted a picture him wearing the coat with lyrics to Rihanna's "Umbrella" as the caption.
