The Largest Wedding in Iraq, Designed by Hollywood Event Designer Adam Afara… A Royal Night Celebrating Ali & Ghaliya at the World Heart Hotel

In a scene reminiscent of fairytale legends, international event designer Adam Afara orchestrated one of the most extravagant weddings ever held in Iraq. The spectacular celebration of newlyweds Ali and Ghaliya took place at the World Heart Hotel, attended by prominent figures from the worlds of entertainment, fashion, and society.

This majestic wedding united Adam Afara’s creative signature with the designs of renowned couturier Zuhair Murad, and unforgettable performances by stars Melhem Zein and Hussam Al-Rassam—transforming the event into a lavish royal showcase rather than a traditional ceremony.

After months of meticulous planning, Adam Afara’s team brought to life a fully integrated vision featuring custom-made décor sourced from six different countries, and more than 40,000 fresh flowers adorning the ceiling and the entire ballroom—turning the venue into a suspended celestial garden.

The bride’s gown, designed by Zuhair Murad – Couture, embodied the elegance of a modern princess and perfectly complemented the wedding’s regal identity.

Even the finest details reflected exceptional craftsmanship:

The invitation card was inspired by a royal palace gate, harmonizing with the stage décor and ballroom aesthetics.
Two exclusive luxury fragrances were created as personalized gifts for the bride and groom, each bearing their names.
Custom-tailored table linens were designed specifically for the wedding to match the floral palette and lighting design.
A bespoke song performed by Melhem Zein added a personal touch, narrating the couple’s love story.

One of the evening’s biggest highlights was what Adam Afara unveiled as the largest wedding cake in Iraq—a grand royal palace–themed masterpiece, measuring 180 cm in diameter and 3 meters in height, adorned with fresh flowers, angels, and spiral staircases. The cake became a stunning visual centerpiece in the heart of the ballroom.

With this royal wedding, Adam Afara adds yet another milestone to his international portfolio as a Hollywood celebrity event designer, reaffirming his ability to transform a once-in-a-lifetime celebration into an unforgettable visual and emotional experience.

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Box Office: Kartik Aaryan Nails A Simple Strategy

Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri Box Office Strategy For Kartik Aaryan Might Be A Winner!(Photo Credit –YouTube)

There is a very distinct line between a star turning into a superstar, and much of it has to do with the box office success of films. Kartik Aaryan found his footing as the box office superstar once he bailed Bollywood out of the pandemic low with Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2’s winning run. This was followed by the trilogy’s success on Diwali 2024, and now the actor is continuing the streak this Christmas with Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.

The actor has moved from the horror-comedy zone to the breezy, romantic warmth of this romantic comedy that is arriving this Christmas, and the winning formula seems very clear for Kartik – own the festive calendar and rule the number game!

In Bollywood, the festive season is the ultimate battlefield for box office supremacy. While it was once the sacred domain of the five senior superstars, the holiday season is now owned by the younger lot as well. Kartik Aaryan proved his box office potential with his Diwali winner Bhool Bhulaiyaa and in Christmas 2025, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri is all set to follow the lead.

This is the time when a holiday release guarantees good numbers, and Kartik Aaryan‘s strategic planning for locking the festival and ruling it with numbers seems to be on point! And honestly, this festival booking seems to be working with Kartik since the audience trusts him with the kind of cinema he offers, the one that can be enjoyed with your loved ones over the holiday season!

While Diwali is about family gatherings, Christmas is about cosy romance, hope, and feel-good stories. Kartik’s strength lies in his ability to tap into this charming, heroic zone and connect with his audiences instantly. He comes with the guarantee of entertainment.

Kartik Aaryan, in recent times, has emerged as the most bankable bet at the box office, and Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri‘s Christmas release is surely hinting at a powerful success story at the box office.

For the unversed, Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri is directed by Sameer Vidhwans and produced by ⁠Dharma Productions & Namah Pictures. The film stars Ananya Panday along with Kartik Aaryan.

Kevin Spacey Set To Face Civil Sex Assault Claims In London Court

by jummy84 November 27, 2025

written by jummy84

Kevin Spacey will face civil claims of sexual assault from three men at the High Court in London next October.

A British performer named Ruari Cannon, who has waived his right to anonymity, and two other claimants who have not, have alleged Spacey abused them between 2000 and 2015.

A judge set the provisional trial date of 12 October 2026 for the cases at a hearing earlier this week. Spacey denies all the allegations.

Spacey was cleared of nine sexual offence charges at a criminal trial in 2023. He was also found not liable in a U.S. civil case brought by actor Anthony Rapp, who alleged Spacey molested him when he was 14.

Spacey made headlines last week with an interview with The Telegraph newspaper during which he described his financial situation as “not great,” adding, “I’m living in hotels, I’m living in Airbnbs, I’m going where the work is. I literally have no home, that’s what I’m attempting to explain.”

The House of Cards alum, who last year appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored to discuss his debts, including the foreclosure of his Baltimore abode, said, “The costs over these last seven years have been astronomical. I’ve had very little coming in and everything going out.”

Spacey likened his predicament to the experiences of actors of yore, who were swept into the Hollywood blacklist as a result of McCarthyism. He cited Kirk Douglas’ willingness to work with screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, then blacklisted, as the type of strategic allyship that could help him right the ship.

“So, my feeling is if Martin Scorsese or Quentin Tarantino call Evan [Lowenstein, Spacey’s manager] tomorrow, it will be over,” he posited. “I will be incredibly honored and delighted when that level of talent picks up the phone. And I believe it’s going to happen.”

Most recently, Spacey wrapped production in the U.K. on an under-the-radar sci-fi thriller called The Tenth Planet. The project was on sale at this year’s American Film Market.

36 Best Black Friday Clothing Deals, Curated by Fashion Pros 2025

by jummy84 November 27, 2025

written by jummy84

Glamour’s favorite Black Friday clothing deals, at a glance

Best Sweater Deal

J.Crew Classic Fair Isle Cardigan

Abercrombie & Fitch Hardware Keyhole Maxi Sweater Dress

This year’s slate of the best Black Friday clothing deals has kicked off in full force, and they’re good. Trust me: I’ve been writing about every Cyber Week for the past five years, and 2025 feels different. I’ve never seen such a high volume of genuinely worthwhile Black Friday sales, with buzzy retailers that almost never do discounts (like Quince, Free People, Reformation, and Lululemon) jumping into the fray.

Don’t stop to marvel—now’s your chance to beat the rush and snag the best stuff—winter coats, trendy boots, gym-ready leggings, seasonal dresses—while it’s actually still in stock. Get out ahead of the pack with my edit of the best Black Friday fashion deals I’ve seen so far, including festive J.Crew cardigans, baggy jeans at Old Navy, and faux-fur coats from Mango. Keep checking back, since I’ll be updating this page regularly with the most exciting style finds throughout Cyber Week.

Lululemon’s We Made Too Much section just got a cold-weather revamp, now flush with Cyber Week-exclusive specials. Whether you’re in the market for winter-friendly running jackets or some of the brand’s best leggings, you’ll find them at pretty nice discounts, both for yourself and for all the fitness-obsessed people on your list.

Lululemon Align High-Rise Leggings

Nordstrom kicked off its Black Friday sale days ahead of schedule this year, but don’t worry: It saved the best stuff for right now. We’ll never complain about scoring up to 60% off cute dresses and suede boots, which would make a nice outfit together; consider this your fleeting chance to snag all the staples you’re missing.

Farm Rio Garden Silhouette Dress

Marc Fisher LTD Mavey Boots

Here’s a great reason to give thanks: Today only, Free People’s entire site is 15% off. Everyone has their own favorite cuts and finds from the boho retailer, but I’ll point you toward these two never-on-sale picks that’ll be on heavy rotation this season. Puffer jackets and black jeans for all!

Free People Pippa Packable Puffer Jacket

We the Free Good Luck Barrel Jeans

J.Crew’s current sale—40% off everything, plus 50% off sale items with code FRIDAY—has led to some eye-popping deals on the winter wardrobe essentials you already have on your wish list. Don’t miss a holiday-ready cardi or the perfect winter dress as you dig through the many thousands of deals.

J.Crew Classic Fair Isle Cardigan

J.Crew Seamed Sheath Dress

While you might associate the retailer with everyday essentials like toothpaste and socks, Amazon’s Black Friday clothing deals aren’t messing around. So many gems have been marked down, but I narrowed it down to these trendy toppers: a cropped puffer vest for less than it cost to make your Thanksgiving side dish and curved-heel slingbacks that are begging to be worn to a holiday party.

Tankaneo Cropped Trench Coat

22élevé Suede Curved-Heel Pumps

After a long drought between truly noteworthy sales, Abercrombie has blessed us with a standout of a Black Friday deal: at least 25% and as much as 50% off everything, including plenty of new arrivals. Get the sweater dresses and patterned puffers while the getting’s good.

Abercrombie & Fitch Sherpa Short Puffer

Abercrombie & Fitch Hardware Keyhole Maxi Sweater Dress

I know you know this, but just so you know: Reformation barely ever offers discounts, so the whole 25% off sitewide situation that’s happening right now is very much worth a look. A dazzling party dress and a suede bag that looks like The Row are just the start.

Reformation x Nara Smith Drizzle Dress

Reformation Oversized Patrizia Bag

For a brand that holds few sales, Spanx sure is kicking the shopping holiday off with a bang: 30% off most of the site, with a few half-off deals sprinkled in for good measure. We love the brand’s shapewear and tummy-hugging leggings, but you might want to start with this perfect off-duty winter outfit. Throw on some sneakers and you’re good to go.

Spanx Faux-Leather Leggings

Spanx Half-Zip Sweatshirt

Hello, winter trends! Mango is always a reliable source for pieces that feel now, and with a huge swath of the site now up to half-off through November 30, it pays to scroll through all the many discounts. Your appetizer: a faux-fur coat and an argyle sweater.

Mango Wool Coat with Faux-Fur Collar

Mango Argyle Knit Sweater

One of the coolest mall brands on the market, Madewell is currently offering 40% off nearly everything on its site. I can hardly believe that both of these very now (and highly giftable) finds are included in the sweeping discounts, and I’m not waiting around for them to disappear. Go forth!

Madewell Chunky Cable-Stitch Beanie

So, this basically never happens—tons of styles are up to 70% off over at Dôen right now. I’d advise you act before they disappear, since there’s no telling when the brand, one of the hottest labels on the market right now, will drop the act.

Savvy shoppers know to expect Alo’s sitewide Black Friday sale every November, and luckily for all of us, it’s finally here. I’m using the 30%-off event to snag all the gym staples and loungewear I’m missing for the chilly months ahead, although there’s also plenty of gifting potential (especially for teen girls) here.

Alo Airlift High-Waist Suit Up Leggings

Old Navy’s current deals include some 50- and 60%-off finds, plus up to 40% off so much more stuff. Finds like winterproof turtlenecks and trendy jeans belong to the first category—and are ready to elevate your next tailgate, grocery run, or backyard hang.

Old Navy SoSoft Turtleneck Sweater

Old Navy Mid-Rise Wow Baggy Wide-Leg Jeans

No matter what you’re currently daydreaming of adding to your current closet—puffers, cashmere sweaters, barrel jeans, trendy sweatshirts, you name it—it’s all up to 50% off at Everlane’s Black Friday sale, which has already landed. Current-season stuff at genuinely great prices? Say no more.

Everlane Luxe Fleece Zip Polo

You probably know Naadam from its $98 cashmere sweater, which is on sale for $78 right now. The rest of the brand’s site is also up to 40% off right now, leading to some eye-popping discounts on chunky knits and sweater dresses in premium fibers. Don’t face winter’s worst without at least one of these beauties in tow.

Naadam Lofty Alpaca Crewneck Sweater

Olivia Culpo x Naadam Signature Cashmere Turtleneck Dress with Slits

Whether you’re on the hunt for a new addition to your daily stack or you’re in the market for jewelry gifts at lower-than-usual prices, Pandora is worth a stop this Cyber Week. Tennis bracelets, giftable charms, trendy sets, classic silver chains—all of it is up to 40% off right now, which almost never happens. Don’t wait around for everything to sell out.

Pandora Pavé Cuban Chain Bracelet

Pandora Organic Sparkle and Pearl Jewelry Gift Set

Yes, there are plenty of very good jeans on sale at Levi’s, now that you can take 40% off your entire purchase with free shipping. But I’m going to push you in a different direction—why not on-trend corduroy pants or a denim dress instead? Both will get plenty of use through spring.

Levi’s Baggy Dad Corduroy Pants

Levi’s Flynn Western Dress

Knix, the brand behind some of our most-trusted period underwear, shapewear, and comfy activewear, is pulling out all the stops for its Cyber Week sale, offering up to 60% off everything. Start with its cult-favorite bra and some festive pajamas, then dive into the rest of its (vast, underrated) collection.

MIA reacts to the Chancellor’s Autumn Budget 2025

by jummy84 November 27, 2025

written by jummy84

The Meetings Industry Association (MIA) has reacted to the Chancellor of the Exchequer’s 2025 Autumn Budget, which was presented in the House of Commons today.

The MIA’s chief executive, Shonali Devereaux, said on the following areas:

Business Rates

“The government’s proposed reforms will provide welcome relief for over 750,000 retail, hospitality and leisure properties through lower business rates from April 2026. However, it is crucial that we receive confirmation that event venues are included within these defined industries. This statement from the Chancellor again reinforces the long-standing need for business meetings and events to be recognised as a distinct sector.

“While our industry’s inclusion in the Business Rates reform would be a positive step, reminiscent of the targeted support venues received during the pandemic, many larger venues could still face increased costs to compensate. We have long called for broader support across the sector, and without clarity and comprehensive measures, this reform risks placing additional strain on the large venues that host major events, potentially impacting their ability to invest, grow, and maintain the high-quality experiences that underpin the UK’s events economy.”

Minimum Wage Increase

“The business meetings and events sector has long provided a gateway into employment, providing vital first-step opportunities for young people, students and those re-entering the workforce. We fully support measures that enhance financial security for workers, but we must also recognise how our industry is uniquely exposed to the impact of minimum wage increases.

“Many event venues and agencies rely heavily on temporary and casual staff to manage natural fluctuations in events and varying service requirements. As wage rates continue to rise alongside broader inflationary and operational costs, profit margins are being squeezed further, which could lead to reductions in staffing levels and, consequently, service and experience quality. This pressure risks weakening pathways into meaningful, long-term employment while placing additional strain on the workforce. Our MIA Insights already show that business meetings and events professionals are under pressure, and these changes are likely to intensify those challenges unless carefully managed within the context of our sector’s staffing model.”

Apprenticeships

“The MIA welcomes the announcement of fully funded under-25 apprenticeships for SMEs , providing a guaranteed pathway for young people into training, education or work. With the persistent skills shortages and high recruitment pressures our sector currently faces, this could significantly strengthen the talent pipeline to enable more venues and agencies – many of which are SMEs – to bring in and train early-career talent to support the development of practical skills our industry needs.

“Our industry has been proactively exploring ways to support and develop early-career talent since before the pandemic, ready to embrace the next generation and build a stable, future-ready workforce. Through The Power of Events, we have pioneered a not-for-profit framework, including school engagement initiatives, to support apprenticeships and develop early-career talent. This announcement reinforces our commitment to continuing this work, and we look forward to hearing more about how our industry can lead in this area”

“The MIA has welcomed productive discussions with government departments in recent months, giving us confidence that our sector will receive the recognition and support it deserves in line with our economic contributions. In light of these discussions and today’s announcements, we now look forward to further conversations to ensure clarity on how these changes will affect our industry and how we can secure the support needed for continued growth.”

Snowy Survival Story from 1920 ‘Hazel’s Heart’ Movie Official Trailer

Snowy Survival Story from 1920 ‘Hazel’s Heart’ Movie Official Trailer

by Alex Billington
November 26, 2025
Source: YouTube

“When all seems lost… the heart prevails.” Samuel Goldwyn Films has debuted the full official trailer for an indie survival thriller film titled Hazel’s Heart, based on a true story from the 1920s. It’s the first feature film directed by North Dakota producer / writer Daniel Bielinski, and will be out on VOD directly later in December coming up. Based on the true story of Hazel Miner, now turned into this religious fable. In March of 1920, three children become lost in a white-out blizzard in the middle of North Dakota. For the next 25 hours, they must fight to survive while their father leads a desperate hunt to find them before it is too late. A powerful story of perseverance and survival in freezing temperatures. The film stars Madelyn Dundon as Hazel Miner, Stelio Savante, Genevieve Bielinski, Xavier Bielinski, Timothy E. Goodwin, David Michael Reardon, with Franni Cash, Todd Terry, and Laurie Fortier. This looks blatantly cliche and cheesy, of course, but I’ll give them some credit for trying to recreate the blizzard to film in to tell this story.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Daniel Bielinski’s film Hazel’s Heart, direct from YouTube:

Hazel's Heart Trailer

In March of 1920, just outside of Center, North Dakota, Hazel Miner (starring Madelyn Dundon) and her two siblings – Emmet and Myrdith – are getting ready to leave from school. The students have been sent home early as the weather has started to turn from gentle snowfall to what looks like it could be a terrible snowstorm. As the siblings struggle through the wind and snow, their sled overturns into a coulee and the three take shelter to try and survive the night. As they fight to stay warm and awake, their parents and friends work furiously to try and find them before it’s too late. Hazel’s Heart, formerly known as just Hazel, is written and directed by American indie writer / producer / filmmaker Daniel Bielinski, directing his first feature film after writing on A Heart Like Water and End of the Rope previously. Produced by Dave Diebel, J. Brockton Holbert, Rachel Morrison, Carson Nordgaard, Kayli Schadler, and Daniel Bielinski. This hasn’t premiered at any film festivals or elsewhere, as far as we know. Samuel Goldwyn Films will release Bielinski’s Hazel’s Heart film direct-to-VOD starting December 23rd, 2025 coming up. Want to watch?

‘South Park’ Thanksgiving Episode Sees Cartman Turn to ‘Race Science’

by jummy84 November 27, 2025

written by jummy84

South Park returned to Comedy Central on Wednesday for a Thanksgiving-themed episode filled with its trademark double entendre, rich dialogue and plot action far more focused on the happenings in the titular town than with Donald Trump and Satan’s expected baby.

As the episode opens, South Park’s mayor is having trouble finding a financier for the annual Turkey Trot and local businesses are at a loss, having fallen on hard economic times. A solution is floated to ask for money from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, which one resident notes is giving money to just about everyone lately — a reference to the dozens of comedians who recently traveled to the wealthy Middle East nation for a stand-up gig and big payday.

The boys of South Park Elementary are all-in on the race once it’s made clear that there is a $5,000 prize for the winning team. That is, if no disparaging remarks against KSA and its Royal Family are made by the winners, as is made clear in a non-animated advertisement (i.e. real people, etc) for the big Thanksgiving Day event.

Meanwhile, Department of War head and former Fox News guy Pete Hegseth shows up at the South Park Police Department, repelling down a rope, to release Trump administration asset, or its puppet master, Peter Thiel out of lock-up but is told to get his “little bitch ass” out of South Park by Sgt. Harrison Yates amid a dispute over the release of Thiel, who recently split town with a “6, 7” repeating Eric Cartman in an attempt to thwart the rise of the Antichrist. Naturally, this slight from the local police leads to Hegseth declaring war on South Park. That is, until President Trump calls to intervene and demand that he focus on getting Thiel back to the White House.

As the Turkey Trot approaches, more and more South Park residents are signing up and Cartman, attempting to ensure a win, turns to “race science” to determine who will finish first and win that Saudi loot (cue a gag that the Asian City Pop-Up team will race smart, but not necessarily fast). This makes Cartman dead on getting Tolkien Black, South Park Elementary’s male student of color, on his team, as he always wins the runs. But as Tolkien tells him, “Just because I’m Black, does not mean I run fast.”

Cartman finds his science-fueled race attempt to win $5,000 thwarted when Tolkien bows out over the sponsorship of the event. “It doesn’t feel right,” he tells Cartman, who accuses his fair-weather friend of encouraging KSA to continue its actions toward critics — doesn’t he want “them to pay America for sports rather than hacking up reporters and paying Pete Davidson to do comedy?” Here, Cartman, via a series of cutting lines, presents both sides of the argument that emerged as the Riyadh Comedy Festival divided the stand-up community last month.

Back at the race, the attendees are ready to dash for the case, but before the runners are off, Hegseth mistakes the runners gathering for the race for an Antifa uprising; he is egged on to attack by the gunshot that starts the former fun run, which has become a battle for Saudi money among the town’s struggling business owners. The Department of War’s top brass is perhaps a bit more concerned with content creation and YouTube subscribers than thwarting a left-wing uprising. And faster than he can say “like and subscribe, you guys,” Homeland Security Chief Kristi Noem is on the scene to steal his thunder (ideally before her face melts off).

With the race started and the runners being gassed by the Department of War, Cartman is running along and has now convinced Tolkien to join in on the Trot. But he’s slipping behind and out of breath, because, as he’s been saying all along, he may be Black and athletic, but he’s not a runner. In the end, it doesn’t matter because Cartman manages to get Tolkien first across the finish line, all thanks to a little “race science.” This is all after Tolkien calls out Cartman’s racism.

As the episode concludes, Hegseth has been rounded up by an angry Sgt. Yates and is tossed in the local lock-up, where his cellmate is none other than Peter Thiel.

Season 28 of South Park is set to conclude in two weeks, on Dec. 10.
