The death of the Queen, a "vengeful war" between Hollywood's one-time dream couple and a boxer who can't afford the nursing home: These were the messages that moved readers the most this week.
When autumn arrives after the end of summer, the transition is often associated with a certain melancholic blues. The first leaves are falling from the trees, the days are getting darker and that also means a bit of this week's celebrity news.
In times like these, many are united by the desire to get closer together again. The whole world is looking to England these days. Despite her impressive 96 years, it seemed almost impossible that Queen Elizabeth II could ever die. Because she felt like she was always there! Because entire generations have grown up with it. And because she was seen smiling so bravely so often even after the death of her husband Prince Philip, who died in April 2021 at almost a hundred years old.
On September 6, the little great monarch received Great Britain's new Prime Minister Liz Truss for the traditional "Kissing Hands" ceremony. The Queen might need a cane and her delicate hands were covered with a big bruise, but there was that smile that still managed to outshine her frailty and any health issues.
Shortly thereafter, the Queen of England is dead and not just a whole country - the whole world is in shock. You don't have to be a fan of the monarchy, but the Queen has been through turbulent times, and there have been many, a constant for millions of people.
The hashtag quickly trended on Twitter
Headlines surrounding Justin Bieber also gave cause for concern this week. The 28-year-old singer has canceled his world tour. The concerts in Europe demanded so much from him that he was completely exhausted: "After I got off the stage, I was exhausted and I realized that I have to make my health a priority at the moment". Only recently it became known that the pop star suffers from Ramsay Hunt Syndrome - a rare nervous disease that leads to paralysis of the face.
There will probably not be peace and quiet between this ex-couple for quite a while. The mud fight between Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt is getting worse and worse. It's no longer just about custody of the children, but also about the joint winery Château Miraval in southern France and - a lot of money. It was announced this week that the actress and mother of six has sued her ex-husband for a whopping $250 million in damages.
The 47-year-old speaks of a "vengeful war" that Pitt is supposed to wage against her. There is talk of years of campaigns against them, of control and "malicious actions". The disputes over custody of the children alone have dragged on for years. Some of them are now of legal age and out of the house.
Jennifer Lawrence shares a rare glimpse into her private life and shares how in love she is with her son, who was born in February. The actress suffered two miscarriages, but her third pregnancy was uncomplicated. In an interview with Vogue, she even revealed the name of her son: Cy – named after her husband's favorite painter, a gallery owner.
The former supermodel Linda Evangelista caused admiration, but also criticism at the same time. The portrait of the 57-year-old, who once said the daring sentence: "I won't even get out of bed for less than $10,000," adorns the covers of major fashion magazines, including the British one, for the first time after a botched beauty procedure "Vogue".
Her social media presence has long been a string of old photos showing her before the surgery. Evangelista is said not to have left the house for five years. Now she is back. But not everyone likes the way she celebrates her comeback. For the recordings, her face is said to have been pulled back with adhesive tape and rubber bands. While some say that women should be allowed to show themselves as they really look, others say that fashion photos are allowed to inspire dreams.
And then this week there was also news about the living conditions of the former boxer René Weller. It has long been known that the 68-year-old has dementia. He is now said to be in need of care, as his wife Maria announced. But a nursing home is out of the question, because the couple cannot afford the costs of 4,000 euros. This shows that when it comes to celebrity wealth, people often get the wrong idea.
In fact, Weller does not even receive a pension of 300 euros. The two have a few reserves. But Maria Weller has long been plagued by the fear of being "soon bitterly poor". A concern shared by many people in this country. Until next week! Hug your loved ones!
