Finance Minister Christian Lindner is splitting the spirit with his mega-wedding, all hell is breaking loose on Sylt and the divorce papers are being prepared in the Hummels' house. Vip, vip, hooray - the celebrity weekly recap is here!
"When two people get married, it's something wonderful. Of course there's a party. The best thing to do is to be happy for the spouses. Of course, it doesn't matter to you. But if you take offense at it, it's best to find a therapist!" This is a tweet from Justice Minister Marco Buschmann on the glamorous wedding of our Finance Minister Christian Lindner, who is tying the knot with journalist Franca Lehfeldt on Sylt these days.
Hardly any event this week has raised people's spirits as much as Lindner's love happiness, which is now sailing into the cozy harbor of marriage. Isn't everyone allowed to celebrate as they see fit? Of course. This matter is not about the decadent Sylt bash of a politician who tells the people that they have to practice "renunciation" and tighten their belts, but about the external impact of this wedding spectacle - and with that, welcome to a new edition of "Vip, Vip, Hooray!"
There is a lot of discussion about the mega-event these days, especially about the cost of the security guards, who are paid for with taxpayers' money, while many people in this country have to cut corners everywhere. That makes quite a few really angry.
Almost everyone has an opinion on this. "The Wedding of the Year" is accompanied by many media with a live ticker. According to an RTL reporter, "all hell broke loose" on the celebrity island alone with the 9-euro ticket. We see pictures of hundreds of punks, also in front of the entrance to the wedding location. While criticism of the pompous, three-day bash partly bangs through the roof on Twitter, it is announced that the wedding dress of Lindner's bride Lehfeldt should be from Duchess Meghan's favorite label. A dream!
However, how pointed communication works despite different opinions is demonstrated in this context by RTL political chief Nikolaus Blome and publicist Jakob Augstein with their joint format "Gegenverkehr", in which the two push their way through Berlin traffic and not only discuss controversially, but often wonderfully arguing with each other.
For example, Augstein is of the opinion: "The government is helping to ensure that people continue to be impoverished, and at the same time celebrities and leaders are throwing huge parties on the most expensive island (...). You could say it tastes good." Blome, on the other hand, is of the opinion: "That's social envy. Classic social envy: look, he can do something, and now we're looking for an argument why he can't do that." The opinion of many citizens, on the other hand, is very congruent, they accuse the finance minister of preaching water and drinking wine. It remains to be seen how this will affect the popularity of Christian Lindner and his party. The PR department of the FDP should now be working at full speed.
Superstar Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field have been in the port of marriage for a long time. The pair have been married for 12 years and attended a runway show by Italian designer Giambattista Valli as part of Paris Fashion Week this week. But not only when it comes to fashion, but also when it comes to humor, the celebrity couple seems to be on the same wavelength. Williams, 48, affectionately calls his 43-year-old wife "my long-haired general."
Ricky Martin, on the other hand, is getting really big, about whom, as he says himself, "completely false allegations" are circulating. There are rumors about the singer because of alleged domestic violence. There is also talk of a temporary injunction. The 50-year-old firmly rejects all allegations and does not want to go into detail about the ongoing proceedings. It is now known that the person who obtained the injunction was the brother's nephew, who was suffering from "mental problems". Also because of another case, Martin will probably have to appear in court. The accusation: He is said to owe money to a former manager and not to have paid commissions. We're talking about more than three million dollars.
This week, however, the hit par excellence comes from the house of Hummels. Cathy and her Mats are now officially no longer a couple and will go their separate ways in the future. No more games with dates, influencers and followers. The divorce papers are already being prepared. The marriage between the soccer star and the model broke up in the seventh year that it was gone. If only they had married on Sylt! Until next week!
