The annual Westminster Venue Collection showcase last night welcomed over 100 event planners and industry professionals to Central Hall Westminster for an invaluable evening of venue finding and networking. The exclusive event saw the host venue’s latest re-developed space: ‘The Wesley Suite’, transformed into a winter wonderland where guests explored over 50 of London’s most prestigious venues.

Westminster Venue Collection’s sought-after portfolio includes fashionable townhouses, private members’ clubs, luxury hotels, iconic attractions and historic institutes, offering organisers an extensive range of options for corporate and private events. Having launched its re-developed website in March 2025, with advanced features simplifying venue search, shortlisting and enquiries, the showcase further supports planners in their research with venue discovery and matchmaking.

On arrival, guests were welcomed into Central Hall’s brand-new space in which Boo Productions had created a serene, enchanting world where winter came to life. Decorative elements including a frosted twig entrance arch, a beautiful table centre display and cascading chandelier feature, set the tone for a magical experience. The stage featured a bespoke Arctic theme, with a custom-made lectern inspired by frozen landscapes, while a scenic landscape backdrop framed the presentation area. A white winter sleigh photo opportunity provided a memorable moment throughout the evening.

While meeting the collection’s member venues and exploring the history, heritage and versatility the City of Westminster offers as a destination for hosting world-class events, attendees enjoyed a delicious selection of canapés and bowl food from Central Hall’s in-house catering partner, Green & Fortune. Highlights from their new, sustainably-sourced menu collection launching in January, included Aged Corney side Beef tartare with egg yolk emulsion and Slow cooked beef cheek, Peela pilau rice, saffron yogurt, white onion salad – both featuring beef from Green & Fortune’s own farm. Cauliflower salad with chilled puree, smoked Applewood panko, golden raisin and shallot vinaigrette, and Avocado cream, blackened chalk stream trout with foraged confetti and burnt lemon honey were other popular dishes.

The evening also featured games and entertainment from Clownfish Events, which were tailored to the event theme and designed to engage the guests with fun interactive elements. The host venue’s in-house AV partner, White Light, ensured seamless technical delivery, with installed lighting, video and audio to enhance the space. Exciting prizes donated by the members, including luxury afternoon tea experiences, an overnight stay at The Guardsman Hotel and Tate Britain exhibition tickets were won by lucky guests.

Westminster Venue Collection Chair Barbara Wutte says: “Every year, our guests remind us how important our annual showcase is for giving them unrivalled access to such a diverse selection of venues under one roof. This year’s White Winter Wonderland theme perfectly demonstrated the creative possibilities available within our ever-growing portfolio. We were thrilled to host this year’s event in Westminster’s newest space, giving guests a first look at ‘The Wesley Suite’, as well as the opportunity to simplify their venue finding and meet their event needs by connecting with all our members in one fantastic night.”

bitchy | ‘The White Lotus’ received zero Emmys & their fashion was pretty terrible too

In my opinion, The White Lotus’s quality has improved each season. I was meh on the first season, I loved the second season (set in Italy) and it felt like Season 3 became a phenomenon, an increasingly rare water-cooler show where it felt like everyone watched it at the same time. Well, somewhat hilariously, TWL did not win ANY Emmys last night. It came into the awards show as one of the most-nominated dramas! TWL got 23 nominations, the bulk of which were for the actors! And they all canceled each other out. No Emmys for Carrie Coon or Walton Goggins or Parker Posey. It’s kind of bonkers, actually.

So, some fashion photos for The White Lotus cast! Carrie Coon wore Chanel, and I hate all of this. I dislike her pixie cut and the dress is TERRIBLE. Leslie Bibb looked nice in Armani Prive. Aimee Lou Wood wore McQueen, and I’m not into the dress at all – stiff-looking satin, an unflattering cut and she looks like she’s aiming for “quirky” but it came out as “frumpy.” Aimee also avoided Walton Goggins, who was there with his wife (IYKYK), but Aimee brought her boyfriend too. See, take that! Parker Posey wore a wacky custom Valentino which is very… Parker Posey. Michelle Monaghan wore Rabanne Where, kind of disco ball look. And Lisa wore Lever Couture.

Jeremy Allen White Records Nebraka

Next month brings the release of Deliver Me From Nowhere, the Bruce Springsteen biopic about the making of his seminal album Nebraska. A new trailer for the film premiered during Sunday’s Emmy Awards, which can be seen below.

Written and directed by Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart) and adapted from Warren Zanes’ 2023 biography, Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska, the film chronicles the development of the 1982 album. Coming off the blockbuster success of The River, Springsteen retreated to his bedroom with a four-track recorder, crafting a raw, intimate set of songs. Despite label pressure to release full-band versions, he ultimately stuck with the haunting home recordings — the very ones that became Nebraska.

Jeremy Allen White stars as Springsteen, with Jeremy Strong playing the musician’s manager, Jon Landau. The cast also includes Paul Walter Hauser, Odessa Young, Marc Maron, Gabby Hoffman, Stephen Graham, and Johnny Cannizzaro. Deliver Me From Nowhere will be released in theaters on October 24th.

To coincide with the film’s release, Springsteen has announced Nebraska ’82: Expanded Edition, a five-disc collection featuring a remastered version of the original album, the fabled electric version of Nebraska, solo outtakes from the era, and a newly shot performance film of the album captured at the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, New Jersey. Pre-orders are now ongoing.

Why Did Nina Dobrev & Shaun White Break Up? Inside Their Split – Hollywood Life

It looks like Nina Dobrev and Shaun White are over, which shocked fans since they were seemingly going strong for years — not to mention that they were engaged to be married. A report surfaced in September 2025 about their split. So, why exactly did Nina and Shaun break up?

Hollywood Life has compiled everything we know so far about Shaun and Nina’s relationship, engagement and split below.

How Did Nina Dobrev & Shaun White Meet?

Shaun and Nina first crossed paths in late 2019 at an event in Florida. The two had dinner afterward, and their connection grew from there. The athlete later admitted that he initially didn’t know her stardom, but Shaun eventually learned just how big of a name Nina already was.

By 2020, the pair spent time together on a South African safari while Nina was working on the film Redeeming Love, and Shaun joined her on location. During the early aughts of the COVID-19 pandemic, they were often spotted out together riding bikes in Malibu, California, and spending quarantine together. They went public with their relationship in April 2020 by going Instagram official. From then on, Nina frequently shared funny and sweet moments with Shaun on social media.

When Did Shaun White & Nina Dobrev Get Engaged?

Four years after going Instagram official, Shaun proposed to Nina in New York City in October 2024. They didn’t rush to the wedding planning stage, Nina told E! News the following year.

“I really want to enjoy it and not rush that process,” the Love Hard star said in March 2025. “We’re just enjoying being engaged at this point and being in that sort of phase because a lot of your life is — you have a boyfriend for half of your life, and then, you have a husband for half of your life, but the fiancé period is very short.”

Why Did Nina Dobrev & Shaun White Break Up?

Nina and Shaun mutually decided to break up, according to People, citing a source close to the now-former couple.

“It was a mutual decision and wasn’t an easy one,” the insider told the outlet, “but it was made with love and a deep respect for one another.”

The source didn’t provide a clear reason behind Nina and Shaun’s decision to split.

Have Nina Dobrev & Shaun White Addressed Their Split?

No, at the time of publication, neither Shaun nor Nina has publicly commented on the report about their split.

Nina Dobrev has reportedly split from Shaun White.

Nina Dobrev has split from Shaun White

The couple got engaged last October after four years of dating but it has now been revealed they have made the “mutual decision” to go their separate ways.

A source told People magazine: “It was a mutual decision, and wasn’t an easy one, but it was made with love and a deep respect for one another.”

Representatives for the Vampire Diaries actress and the 39-year-old snowboarder have yet to comment on the news.

The pair were last seen together holding hands while running errands in Los Angeles on 31 August, but on Sunday (07.09.25) the 36-year-old actress walked the red carpet at the Eternity premiere in Los Angeles without her engagement ring.

She has also unpinned her engagement post from the top of her Instagram account for the first time since Shaun popped the question.

Just a few months ago, Shaun spoke of how “excited” he and Nina were to be planning their wedding.

He told People: “It’s very exciting to have new aspirations and new things that we’re going after and together. It’s very humbling and very exciting, and she’s excited.

“We’ve gotten a lot of advice from different people who have planned their own weddings and things. So we’re definitely gathering information and now trying to see what’s going to work best for us in any way.”

Shaun thought it was “fun” planning to be planning the “next chapter” of their lives as a couple.

The former Olympian shared: “It’s like you took that next step and yeah, it’s just a fun sort of planning phase of life.

“Like, ‘What’s the next steps, and the next chapter and where do we want to be?’ It’s fun. It’s fun to have somebody to plan all that with.”

Nina previously revealed to Vogue magazine that they got engaged in New York City in late October and she “froze” when Shaun proposed.

Recalling Shaun’s proposal, she confessed: “I went into shock. I just froze and stared at him.”

Nina – who previously dated Ian Somerhalder, her former Vampire Diaries co-star – was quickly won over once she got over the surprise of the situation.

She added: “He said all the right things.”

Cristobal Tapia De Veer Wins Fourth Emmy For The White Lotus Amid Fallout With Mike White | Glamsham.com

A Win Wrapped in Drama:
The Creative Arts Emmys 2025 brought a big moment for composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer, who picked up his fourth Emmy for The White Lotus. His trophy came in the category of

Best Original Main Title Theme Music for Season 3.
But while the honor celebrated his artistry, it also arrived under the shadow of his very public falling out with series creator Mike White.

The Acceptance: Without HBO or White
Tapia de Veer did not attend the Los Angeles ceremony but celebrated remotely. On Instagram, he shared: “I just won my fourth Emmy Award: best theme for The White Lotus Season 3. I respect the Academy because those votes can’t be bought. No smear campaign distracted them. Thank you, this means a lot to me in more than one way.”

He paired his words with a clip of the winning theme playing over a video of a firefly, writing that the melody was inspired by filming that moment.

Notably, there was no mention of HBO or Mike White, a telling omission given the rocky history between them.

The Creative Rift:
Earlier this year, Tapia de Veer confirmed he would not return for Season 4, citing clashes with White and the production team. He claimed their disputes dated back to Season 1, where he fought to keep his darker, experimental vision intact.

“Maybe I was being unprofessional. But what I gave him did this — did those Emmys, people going crazy. It was worth the tension,” Tapia de Veer told the New York Times.
White, in turn, responded in interviews by downplaying the feud but admitted they “butted heads,” especially during Season 3.

“He is very talented. But I don’t think he respected me,” White said on The Howard Stern Show, adding that Tapia de Veer resisted feedback once the show became a hit.

The White Lotus and Its Awards Run:
Despite the off-screen tensions, The White Lotus continues to be an Emmy powerhouse. Across its first three seasons, the HBO series has earned 16 Emmys, with Tapia de Veer personally winning four:
Two for Best Main Title Theme (Seasons 1 & 3)
Two for Original Dramatic Score (Seasons 1 & 2)

Season 3 alone picked up 15 nominations, including Outstanding Drama Series.

Final Take:
Tapia de Veer’s fourth Emmy proves how essential his haunting, off-kilter themes were in defining The White Lotus. Yet his departure raises questions about how the show will evolve musically in Season 4 without the man who gave it its sonic identity.

The feud may have overshadowed the win, but the Emmy also serves as a reminder: sometimes creative tension, however messy, can produce unforgettable art.

White Lotus Composer Wins Emmy After Mike White Feud

The White Lotus composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer has won the award for best original main title theme music at the 2025 Creative Arts Emmy Awards following a public falling out with the show’s creator Mike White. The win marks de Veer’s third Emmy for the HBO drama, which he’s scored since its premiere in 2021.

In April, de Veer told The New York Times that he would not be returning for the series’ fourth season, saying, “I announced to the [editorial] team a few months ago that I was not coming back, that I was leaving. … At some point, [White] heard about that.”

According to de Veer, he and White butted heads over the show’s opening theme song, specifically the “ooh-loo-loo-loos” that were a part of the season one track. In season three, the sound was removed from the series’ opening credit music, but was still featured on the full version of the track, with de Veer admitting, “I just stuck to what I was doing. And when I was giving versions, it was still the same thing.”

Days after de Veer’s New York Times story ran, White responded to the article in an interview with Howard Stern, saying, “I honestly don’t know what happened, except now I’m reading his interviews because he decides to do some PR campaign about him leaving the show. I don’t think he respected me. He wants people to know that he’s edgy and dark and I’m, I don’t know, like I watch reality TV. We never really even fought. He says we feuded. I don’t think I ever had a fight with him — except for maybe some emails. It was basically me giving him notes. I don’t think he liked to go through the process of getting notes from me, or wanting revisions, because he didn’t respect me. I knew he wasn’t a team player and that he wanted to do it his way. I was thrown that he would go to The New York Times to shit on me and the show three days before the finale. It was kind of a bitch move.”

For his part, de Veer noted his reluctance to take notes from White in the Times, saying, “Maybe I was being unprofessional, and, for sure, Mike feels that I was always unprofessional to him because I didn’t give him what he wanted. But what I gave him did this, you know — [won] those Emmys, people going crazy [for the show],” he said. “That is the main thing that I’m most happy about — it was worth all the tension and almost forcing the music into the show, in a way, because I didn’t have that many allies in there … This was a good struggle.”

De Veer won Emmys for both best music composition and best original main title music in 2022 and best music composition in 2023 for The White Lotus, which received a total of 23 Emmy nominations overall this year. The 2025 award for best music composition went to Severance.

The 2025 Creative Arts Emmy Awards are held on Saturday, Sept. 6 and Sunday, Sept. 7 at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. Check out the full list of winners here.

Alan Ritchson Stars, Jack White Was Musical Director

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Jack White has revealed the trailer for Potsy Ponciroli’s nearly silent action film, Motor City, for which the Detroit rocker served as musical director. Watch it below.

Led by Reacher’s Alan Ritchson, Motor City is set in 1970s Detroit and only features four or five lines of dialogue, depending on whether you go by Ponciroli or co-star Ben Foster’s count. The trailer, soundtracked by Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,” shows Ritchson’s John Miller being arrested after being set up by local gangster Reynolds (Foster).

“A working class romantic is framed by a ruthless gangster after falling for his girlfriend,” reads the official synopsis. “After years in prison, he returns with only one mission: revenge.”

Directed by Ponciroli from a script by Chad St. John, Motor City also stars Shailene Woodley as Sophia, who is caught in a love triangle between Miller and Reynolds. The cast is rounded out by Pablo Schreiber, Ben McKenzie, Lionel Boyce, Amar Chadha-Patel, and more.

Motor City premiered at the Venice Film Festival this weekend, but it currently doesn’t have a theatrical release date.

In other Jack White news, he recently got the attention of the White House after blasting the “disgusting” Oval Office decorations. In response to being called a “has-been loser,” White hit back with a lengthy Instagram post, saying that Trump is “masquerading” as a Christian, a leader, and a businessman. He also went after “professional liar toadies” like White House communications director Steven Cheung and press secretary Karoline Leavitt, for “covering up and masking his fascism as patriotism.”

13 Times Taylor Swift Wore a White Dress (Get the Look)

“Delicate,” “Gorgeous” and “Fearless” aren’t just names of songs in the Grammy winner’s catalogue — they’re also apt descriptors for many of her looks

13 times Taylor Swift wore all-white.

All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes.

Taylor Swift is coming down the aisle and officially saying “yes” to her love story.

The superstar singer broke the internet Tuesday after announcing her long-awaited engagement to Travis Kelce, after more than two years of dating. Photos show the pair posing together in a flower-strewn garden, with Swift wearing a black-and-white striped dress from Ralph Lauren (that’s already sold out, natch).

But what will Taylor Swift’s wedding dress look like? While the stylish singer is notoriously mum when it comes to revealing too many details about her outfits (or well, about anything really), she knows her way around a classic white ensemble. “Delicate,” “Gorgeous” and “Fearless” aren’t just names of songs in the Grammy winner’s catalogue — they’re also apt descriptors for many of her looks.

From lace dresses during her country era, to sultry and sophisticated gowns on the red carpet, we’ve rounded up 13 times Swift has worn white, with easy ways to replicate the look for less.

Whether these outfits will influence Swift’s actual wedding dress remains to be seen, but suffice to say, she’ll do it all with style.
