Victoria Beckham's 'gentle rebellion' at London Fashion Week
LONDON — Victoria Beckham made a clarion call for a "gentle rebellion" at London Fashion Week on Sunday with a sophisticated but wearable collection."I wanted to explore how to honor tradition but challenge convention. To be subversive yet sophisticated," the designer said in her collection notes."The collection is about staying true to ourselves and our woman, but still surprising her, and us. Twisting our codes," she added."This is what I call my gentle rebellion".The catwalk was lit up by fluid black dresses worn with platform boots that wouldn't have looked out of place on some of her former Spice Girls, a small-checked culotte skirt brightened up by a yellow sweater and a turtleneck sweater dress with diamonds cut out of the sleeves.The...

Weinstein prosecutors urge jurors to convict 'predator'
NEW YORK — Harvey Weinstein was a "predator" who used his status as a powerful Hollywood producer to take advantage of the women he attacked, prosecutors said on Friday as his sex crimes trial drew to a close.The disgraced movie mogul, 67, faces life in prison if convicted of predatory sexual assault charges in the high-profile trial that marks a watershed moment in the #MeToo global reckoning against men abusing positions of power.Weinstein believed he was "the master of his universe, and the witnesses here were really ants who he could step on without consequences," said assistant district attorney Joan Illuzzi-Orbon in the final day of closing arguments."He had a surefire insurance policy: the witnesses were standing in line to get into his universe," she...

Canadian singer Justin Bieber's new album
Justin Bieber tiptoes out of love cocoon with new album 'Changes'
NEW YORK — Reclusive pop phenom Justin Bieber took baby steps back into public life Friday with the release of "Changes," a mellow, lovelorn album that is his first since 2015.The R&B-tinged offering is less a defiant comeback than a tentative toe-dip back into the public life the 25-year-old has largely shunned since cutting short his last tour in 2017, weighed down by the pressures of fame.Bieber — whose run-ins with the law, drug abuse and other celeb antics have sent his reputation into free-fall — returns in introspective mood, opening up about his depression, newfound joy in marriage and battle with Lyme disease.Over 17 bite-size, eminently streamable tracks, "Changes" announces itself as an auditory comfort blanket that offers love as a refuge in the...
