  12. &lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  13.  
  14. A space can be visually impeccable and still say nothing. True design doesn’t stay on the surface—it matters not only for what it shows, but for what it evokes. Some environments speak without words. They generate a sense of belonging, of calm, of identity. That’s where the real difference begins: between what merely decorates... and what transforms.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  15.  
  16. That transformation is the hallmark of &lt;a href=&quot;https://drds.net/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Danielle Ríos Design Studio (DRDS)&lt;/a&gt;, a firm that inhabits each project from its very first idea. At a time when the aesthetics of luxury have become more introspective and personal, this Las Vegas–based studio has carved out a place for itself as a name capable of turning architecture into experience and physical space into narrative.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  17.  
  18. With over twenty years of experience, &lt;b&gt;Danielle Ríos&lt;/b&gt; has cultivated a design philosophy that rejects prefabricated formulas. For her, every project is an emotional translation of the client’s vision. Designing well doesn’t mean imposing a style—it means interpreting an aspiration. And that’s evident in each of her projects, especially those that demand more than good taste: they demand character.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  19.  
  20. That philosophy took tangible form in &lt;b&gt;Piscina del Cielo&lt;/b&gt;, a seaside residence in Punta Garrobo, Zihuatanejo, that is more than a project—it’s a statement. The commission didn’t begin with inherited plans or a half-built property. It was the creative response of a client who, after missing the chance to purchase his dream home, decided to build an even better one. To achieve it, he trusted DRDS from the selection of the land to the final details of lighting and furnishings.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  21.

  27. &lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  28.  
  29. What followed was a process as rigorous as it was inspiring. In collaboration with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.zozayaarquitectos.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Zozaya Arquitectos&lt;/a&gt; and The Related Group, DRDS envisioned a proposal far from regional stereotypes—one rooted in brutalist architecture, softened by noble materials and artisanal details. Exposed concrete, natural stone, and bold geometric forms coexisted with parota wood, durable textiles, and light fixtures inspired by fishing nets—a quiet tribute to the coastal landscape and its people.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  30.  
  31. The front door—a modernist sculpture evoking the sun—opens to a stone atrium and pebble mosaic that echoes the geometry of the entryway in a tactile language. Everything flows with a natural rhythm, the kind that only arises when design, environment, and emotion are in harmony.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  32.  
  33. One of the studio’s most defining traits is its commitment to local talent. For &lt;b&gt;Piscina del Cielo&lt;/b&gt;, Danielle Ríos worked closely with artisans from Zihuatanejo, Guadalajara, and Mexico City to create custom furniture, exclusive sculptures, and lighting pieces that honor local traditions. Every item—furniture, light fixture, surface—became a conversation between cultures, techniques, and sensibilities.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  34.

  36.  &lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVeYtNazayj1K13FofOhJ6k-NMIqXinEaDssOML5bQ0Skd3ZzE2Pm_kumDOmAERF2vBhCKhoIb1AqlRXZ8v3DXer6yJ19aEzzdT26mVWFtxKhEo9w2rjdaen9vWtAMG968jCeTxxau_zFnJeooaMpmq_N3s-IuEd6AQ930Lj4RAhaEMtXRx5gZRDe-nqQ/s1600/TheBeverlyWeekly-Danielle-R%C3%ADos-Design-Studio-3.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Danielle Ríos Design Studio (DRDS)&quot; style=&quot;width:100%;&quot;&gt;
  37. &lt;/center&gt;
  38. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Photography by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.alexkrotkov.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Alex Krotkov&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
  39. &lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  40.  
  41. The project spanned two and a half years, with direct involvement from both Ríos and her construction director, &lt;b&gt;Manuel Mojica&lt;/b&gt;. Together, they made frequent site visits, coordinated closely with architects and suppliers, and ensured that every decision aligned with a clear and cohesive vision. Here, excellence was not an endpoint—it was the starting point.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  42.  
  43. Beyond the technical scope, this project also marked DRDS’s first international commission. The experience reaffirmed the studio’s ability to uphold its highest standards across cultural, linguistic, and logistical contexts—without ever compromising its identity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  44.  
  45. This approach reflects a growing shift in how we understand luxury. Today, it’s not about spectacle, but about authenticity. Luxury lies in what is well-made, honest, and emotionally connected to the lifestyle of those who live it. As Ríos explains: &lt;i&gt;“Our clients seek comfort, timelessness, and above all, to see themselves reflected in their space. That only happens through listening, interpreting, and executing with sensitivity.”&lt;/i&gt;

  54. With each project, &lt;a href=&quot;https://drds.net/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Danielle Ríos Design Studio&lt;/a&gt; reaffirms its place as a leader in thoughtful, emotional, and elegant design. A studio that doesn’t follow formulas, but instead builds identities. Because in the end, the true value of a space isn’t in what it says—but in how it makes you feel.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  106. &lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  107.  
  108. &lt;h2&gt;Beverly Hills Declares July 7 “Ringo Starr Day” During 85th Birthday Peace &amp; Love Celebration&lt;/h2&gt;
  109. Ringo Starr may have turned 85, but his message remains timeless. On July 7, 2025, the Beatles legend marked his milestone birthday not with a quiet celebration—but with a global call for Peace &amp; Love and a very special recognition from the city of Beverly Hills.
  110.  
  111. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  112.  
  113. In front of an invite-only audience—and a live stream broadcast to 38 countries—Ringo encouraged fans everywhere to “post, say, or even just think Peace &amp; Love at Noon” in their local time zones. The livestream, which began at 11:20 AM PST, featured live performances, heartfelt tributes, and the universal message that Starr has championed for decades.
  114.  
  115. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  116.  
  117. &lt;h2&gt;Beverly Hills Makes It Official&lt;/h2&gt;
  118. In a memorable moment, Beverly Hills Mayor Sharona Nazarian took the stage to issue a proclamation, declaring July 7th as “Ringo Starr Day” in the city.
  119.  
  120. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  121.  
  122. “Ringo, today we celebrate you, your music, your spirit, and your message of peace and love that echoes far beyond the stage today and quite literally into space,” Mayor Nazarian said, referencing the fact that Ringo’s annual Peace &amp; Love broadcast was also transmitted to the International Space Station.
  123.  
  124. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  125.  
  126. The mayor highlighted the Peace and Love sculpture on Santa Monica Boulevard—commissioned in Ringo’s honor—as a local symbol of unity, creativity, and kindness.
  127.  
  128. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  129.  
  130. &lt;h2&gt;A Celebration That Goes Beyond Earth&lt;/h2&gt;
  131. Ringo’s birthday tradition has grown into a worldwide ritual. Fans, friends, and fellow musicians now participate every July 7, spreading positivity in their own way at precisely noon local time—from Tokyo to Toronto and now, even in orbit.
  132.  
  133. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  134.  
  135. The 85-year-old rock legend remains deeply connected to his roots as both a drummer and peace advocate, turning each birthday into a platform for something bigger.
  136.  
  137. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  138.  
  139. &lt;h2&gt;Peace, Love, and a Lasting Legacy&lt;/h2&gt;
  140. The declaration of “Ringo Starr Day” marks a powerful moment for music, culture, and community. It honors not just a career, but a lifelong message that continues to resonate.
  141.  
  142. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  143.  
  144. From Liverpool to Los Angeles, and now officially recognized in Beverly Hills, Ringo Starr’s birthday has become more than a personal celebration—it’s a reminder that even in today’s world, peace and love can still take center stage.
  145.  
  146. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  147.  
  148. So whether you said it, posted it, or simply thought it: Peace &amp; Love.
  149.

  155.  
  156. &lt;h2&gt;The Great Elephant Migration Transforms Beverly Hills Into a Powerful Wildlife Tribute&lt;/h2&gt;
  157. This summer, Beverly Hills is home to a different kind of star power—100 life-sized Indian elephant sculptures, each hand-crafted by Indigenous artisans, now standing tall in Beverly Gardens Park as part of The Great Elephant Migration.
  158.  
  159. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  160.  
  161. Running July 1 through August 1, this extraordinary public art installation stretches along Santa Monica Boulevard from Rodeo Drive to Rexford Drive, forming a symbolic migratory path in the heart of Los Angeles. But beyond the visual spectacle, it tells a poignant story of environmental urgency, cultural heritage, and cross-species empathy.
  162.  
  163. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  164.  
  165. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzBONMF8m7rCzyj2JOr0PcOILKyM9SPJvDayEcjYZmM9frkPUF0F-jYdGzzgt0noQS6EqmMmfC4THgv17T5TYiPfqfvZkwpbx_i7VmY7918joq9DVkgjI47nCwDcH_hKDO9zFOLCVzxSmdb1giyEo0ZCked3BBLPatnbFiQGtpvrMhemP_HnuxRB7Qq1k/s1600/elephants-1280x720.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;720&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzBONMF8m7rCzyj2JOr0PcOILKyM9SPJvDayEcjYZmM9frkPUF0F-jYdGzzgt0noQS6EqmMmfC4THgv17T5TYiPfqfvZkwpbx_i7VmY7918joq9DVkgjI47nCwDcH_hKDO9zFOLCVzxSmdb1giyEo0ZCked3BBLPatnbFiQGtpvrMhemP_HnuxRB7Qq1k/s1600/elephants-1280x720.jpg&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  166.  
  167. &lt;h2&gt;Handcrafted Giants With a Deeper Message&lt;/h2&gt;
  168. Each elephant sculpture is built on a steel frame and covered in dried lantana camara, an invasive plant species in India. The material choice is intentional—a creative act of environmental restoration, transforming ecological imbalance into storytelling through art.
  169.  
  170. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  171.  
  172. The elephants themselves are based on real individuals—rescued calves, tuskers, and matriarchs—with their backstories enriching the emotional weight of the exhibit. Among them: Chaimu, an orphaned elephant from Kenya, and Madhubala, who was reunited with her family in India after years of captivity. These lifelike tributes explore the deep bonds between humans and elephants, making the invisible visible.
  173.  
  174. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  175.  
  176. &lt;h2&gt;Wrapped in History: A Fusion of Fashion, Culture, and Memory&lt;/h2&gt;
  177. Starting July 20, a powerful new layer will be added to the installation: 70 of the sculptures will be draped in ceremonial blankets, custom-designed by a diverse collective of artists and designers. Titled Wrapped in History, this phase includes contributions from Ralph Lauren, Diane von Furstenberg, and Native American artisans.
  178.  
  179. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  180.  
  181. Each blanket is a canvas of cultural identity and reverence, telling stories that span continents and generations—reminding us of the shared responsibility we all hold in protecting Earth’s biodiversity.
  182.  
  183. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  184.  
  185. &lt;h2&gt;A Final Farewell With a Purpose&lt;/h2&gt;
  186. On August 1, the installation concludes with a public gathering titled “Kiss Them Goodbye.” More than a closing event, it’s a celebration of connection, coexistence, and collective action. Attendees will be invited to reflect on what these elephants represent—not just artistically, but ethically.
  187.  
  188. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  189.  
  190. The exhibit supports a range of wildlife NGOs and amplifies the efforts of conservationists working across India, Africa, and beyond. Its message is clear: we share this world, and we must protect it together.
  191.  
  192. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  193.  
  194. &lt;h2&gt;Free, Accessible, and Open to All&lt;/h2&gt;
  195. The Great Elephant Migration is open daily from 7 AM to 10 PM, free to the public, and fully ADA-compliant. Whether you&#39;re a curious tourist, a local art lover, or someone seeking a deeper understanding of nature and culture, this exhibit is designed to move you—emotionally, ethically, and spiritually.
  196.  
  197. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  198.  
  199. So come walk the path, meet the herd, and witness what happens when art, activism, and ancient wisdom converge. These elephants may not move, but their presence leaves a mark that’s anything but still.

  206.  
  207. &lt;h2&gt;Jessica Alba’s “Dream House” in Beverly Hills Sells for $18.2 Million&lt;/h2&gt;
  208. Just two months after listing her sprawling Beverly Hills estate, Jessica Alba has officially closed a deal. According to Realtor.com, the property sold on June 30, 2025, fetching a staggering $18.2 million, nearly double the $9.9 million that Alba and now-estranged husband Cash Warren paid for it in 2017. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  209.  
  210. The sale not only marks a major real estate win—with $8.3 million in profit—but also a symbolic shift as the couple publicly announced their split earlier this year. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  211.  
  212. &lt;h2&gt;A California “Dream House” Brought to Life&lt;/h2&gt;
  213. Alba had described the seven-bedroom, eight-and-a-half-bathroom home as her “dream house” when she first opened its doors to Architectural Digest. Nestled on 1.82 lush acres, the residence is surrounded by mature trees and landscaped greenery, offering ultimate privacy and serenity in the heart of Beverly Hills. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  214.  
  215. After purchasing the home, Alba embarked on a complete transformation of the property, working with renowned design duo Kathleen and Tommy Clements of Clements Design to bring her vision to life. The renovation resulted in a sophisticated yet family-friendly space filled with reclaimed wood, rare marbles, and natural finishes throughout. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  219. &lt;h2&gt;Inside the $18.2M Mansion&lt;/h2&gt;
  220. Highlights of the property include:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  221.  
  222. A primary suite with a fireplace, massive walk-in closet, spa-like bath, and private sitting area overlooking the grounds&lt;br&gt;
  223.  
  224. A gourmet kitchen with breakfast nook and top-tier appliances&lt;br&gt;
  225.  
  226. A cozy yet expansive home theater and library&lt;br&gt;
  227.  
  228. A kid-friendly backyard with shaded patio, cabanas, and a sleek in-ground pool&lt;br&gt;
  229.  
  230. Hand-selected materials, including reclaimed wood beams and exotic stone finishes&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  231.  
  232. It’s the type of home designed for both entertaining and quiet, intimate moments—something Alba prioritized for her family’s lifestyle. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  233.  
  234. &lt;h2&gt;Turning the Page&lt;/h2&gt;
  235. In January 2025, the founder of The Honest Company took to Instagram to reveal that she and Warren were “embarking on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals” after 20 years together. Their home, which served as the backdrop for raising their three children, hit the market in April. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  236.  
  237. While the buyer’s identity has not been disclosed, the sale underscores continued interest in high-end Beverly Hills properties, especially those with star power and thoughtful design. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  245. &lt;h2&gt;Polly’s Pies “Pie for the People” Campaign Returns to Honor Veterans and First Responders&lt;/h2&gt;
  246. In the spirit of gratitude and community, Polly’s Pies has once again launched its annual “Pie for the People” campaign, encouraging Southern Californians to show appreciation to those who serve by donating pies now through July 4. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  247.  
  248. For just $15, customers can purchase a pie that will be delivered directly to first responders, veterans, and active-duty service members across Los Angeles, Orange, and Riverside counties. And for every two pies sold, Polly’s Pies will donate an additional pie — amplifying the impact with every contribution. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  249.  
  250. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibx2q7b0T29EOnxCzi2p7owNn1soTCitff4lrkyTPo8PdS3oXVxPkrCWUdkzWU0Ndq2eSBWDG54nYDXtDLw91zHyctLEy1LuVicpeq0UAL1QXkn0W9OHpG7s-eizSouKL6Gyaxz3zMcZlyedvVeX0WmjVhG8whHVPOH4ZIOZbwKutvkkuU_24WQc0oKCM/s1600/polly%20pie-1280x720.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;720&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibx2q7b0T29EOnxCzi2p7owNn1soTCitff4lrkyTPo8PdS3oXVxPkrCWUdkzWU0Ndq2eSBWDG54nYDXtDLw91zHyctLEy1LuVicpeq0UAL1QXkn0W9OHpG7s-eizSouKL6Gyaxz3zMcZlyedvVeX0WmjVhG8whHVPOH4ZIOZbwKutvkkuU_24WQc0oKCM/s1600/polly%20pie-1280x720.jpg&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  251.  
  252. &lt;h2&gt;A Personal Tribute from Veteran Founders&lt;/h2&gt;
  253. The campaign holds special meaning for Polly’s Pies co-founder Don Sheldrake and the late Eddie Sheldrake, both of whom are veterans, as is the current manager of the brand’s Los Alamitos location. Their service underscores a deeper purpose: honoring fellow veterans and service personnel not just with a sweet treat, but with heartfelt recognition. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  254.  
  255. Now in its fourth year, the initiative has already raised 13,278 pies and aims to reach 6,000 more by Independence Day. Each pie becomes a symbol of thanks delivered through VA hospitals, military platoons, and community organizations. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  256.  
  257. &lt;h2&gt;How You Can Support&lt;/h2&gt;
  258. Supporting the cause is easy:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  259.  
  260. Visit pollyspies.com&lt;br&gt;
  261.  
  262. Stop by any of the 13 Polly’s Pies locations in SoCal&lt;br&gt;
  263.  
  264. Make an online donation and track the campaign’s progress&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  265.  
  266. Whether you&#39;re donating a pie or spreading the word, every act helps bring comfort and appreciation to those who serve and protect.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  267.  
  268. &lt;h2&gt;A Slice of Gratitude Goes a Long Way&lt;/h2&gt;
  269. As we approach July 4, Polly’s Pies invites the community to take part in a sweet tradition that gives back. With every pie donated, you’re not just offering dessert — you’re sharing a moment of recognition with a veteran, a firefighter, or a soldier.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  270.  
  271. Let’s make this Independence Day about more than fireworks — let’s make it about giving thanks, one pie at a time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  304. In a tribute to the film’s enduring legacy, Beverly Hills Mayor Sharona Nazarian will officially declare July 19 “Clueless Day.” The celebration takes place in La Cienega Park at 8400 Gregory Way, where attendees can soak in the nostalgia of the film that made plaid skirts and matchmaking mishaps unforgettable. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  305.  
  306. &lt;h2&gt;About the Film&lt;/h2&gt;
  307. Directed by Amy Heckerling and loosely inspired by Jane Austen’s Emma, Clueless follows the well-intentioned yet fashion-obsessed Cher Horowitz, a wealthy teen navigating high school, romance, and self-discovery in Beverly Hills. The film became a defining pop culture moment of the ‘90s and launched Alicia Silverstone to superstardom. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  308.  
  309. Whether you&#39;re a longtime fan or discovering Cher’s world for the first time, this event is the perfect way to relive the film’s charm. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  322. When Sina Bonabi launched a niche tax ID service eight years ago, his mission was straightforward: help foreign entrepreneurs cut through the complexities of U.S. business compliance. That vision laid the foundation for what is now Filing Express, a full-service accounting and advisory firm with a growing global footprint—and a reputation for empowering business owners from startup to scale.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  323.  
  324. &lt;i&gt;“What began as a solution to navigate red tape has evolved into a complete platform for business formation, strategy, and tax management,”&lt;/i&gt; says Brian Cunningham, co-founder and CEO of &lt;a href=&quot;https://filingexpress.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Filing Express&lt;/a&gt;. Today, the company supports thousands of clients worldwide, serving everyone from first-time founders to seasoned operators expanding into the U.S. market.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  326. &lt;h2&gt;Trust Built Across Borders&lt;/h2&gt;
  327.  
  328. Working with international clients brings unique challenges—chief among them: building trust from a distance. Filing Express has earned that trust through transparency, consistency, and results.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  329.  
  330. The firm has quietly amassed more than &lt;b&gt;1,000 public reviews&lt;/b&gt; with a &lt;b&gt;4.8-star average&lt;/b&gt;, a testament to its client-first approach. Rather than positioning itself as a middleman for the IRS, the company advocates for entrepreneurs—delivering clarity, step-by-step support, and services designed with the client&#39;s best interest in mind.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  337.  
  338.  
  339. &lt;h2&gt;Institutional Expertise, Boutique Service&lt;/h2&gt;
  340.  
  341. A major driver of Filing Express’s momentum is its team. Unlike many competitors in the online tax and filing space, this isn’t a group of self-taught professionals. The firm’s advisory staff includes seasoned experts with decades of experience at firms like &lt;b&gt;Ernst &amp; Young, PwC, Deloitte, and Dean Dorton&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  342.  
  343. With over &lt;b&gt;40 years of combined experience&lt;/b&gt;, the team brings institutional-grade expertise typically reserved for enterprise clients—now made accessible to small businesses, e-commerce founders, and international entrepreneurs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  344.  
  345. Despite their pedigree, the service model remains highly personal. Filing Express prioritizes white-glove support and concierge-level care, offering fixed pricing, clear communication, and a single point of contact for every client. It’s a rare blend of corporate precision with small-business heart.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  346.  
  347. &lt;h2&gt;One Platform, Every Essential&lt;/h2&gt;
  348.  
  349. Filing Express may have started with ITINs and EINs, but today it offers far more. Clients can incorporate a business, open a bank account, file for tax IDs, and get ongoing accounting—all within one streamlined ecosystem.
  350. &lt;i&gt;“Entrepreneurs shouldn’t have to juggle five different vendors just to stay compliant,”&lt;/i&gt; says Cunningham. &lt;i&gt;“We built Filing Express to eliminate that friction.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  351.  
  352. From&lt;b&gt; monthly bookkeeping and tax prep to strategic tax planning and CFO-level insights&lt;/b&gt;, every product is built with growth in mind. International founders especially benefit from the centralized structure—avoiding the piecemeal approach so many face when launching in the U.S. market.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  353.  
  354. The firm also supports digital-first operators like e-commerce businesses, online service providers, and remote founders, providing financial visibility and strategic support to scale efficiently from anywhere in the world.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  355.

  361.  
  362.  
  363. &lt;h2&gt;A Challenger on the Rise&lt;/h2&gt;
  364.  
  365. Filing Express isn’t competing to be the cheapest provider in the space—it’s competing to be the most trusted.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  366.  
  367. With internal investments in proprietary technology, including a custom CRM platform, the company is built to scale while retaining its high-touch service. It’s a modern challenger brand taking on legacy players like LegalZoom, Liberty Tax, and H&amp;R Block—offering higher value, deeper insight, and more comprehensive support.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  368.  
  369. Milestones like membership in elite entrepreneurial circles and inclusion in the &lt;b&gt;ClickFunnels Two Comma Club&lt;/b&gt; underscore the brand’s upward momentum. Surpassing &lt;b&gt;10,000 client engagements&lt;/b&gt; is just the beginning.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  370.  
  371. The proof, however, lies in the feedback. One client called their EIN filing experience “flawless… fast, clear, and direct,” echoing hundreds of reviews that consistently praise the platform’s reliability and professionalism.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  372.  
  373. &lt;h2&gt;The Future: From Launchpad to Lifeline&lt;/h2&gt;
  374.  
  375. Looking ahead, Filing Express envisions itself as the &lt;b&gt;definitive launchpad&lt;/b&gt; for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and investors entering or scaling within the U.S. market.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  376.  
  377. By bundling formation, compliance, accounting, and advisory under one brand, it offers more than just convenience—it delivers confidence. Whether you&#39;re a digital founder abroad or a domestic business owner looking for better insight, Filing Express is the trusted ally that not only supports your business but understands the journey.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  378.  
  379. From its beginnings as a specialized tax ID provider to its current role as a comprehensive advisory firm, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/filing.express/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Filing Express&lt;/a&gt; is a story of evolution done right—scaling without compromising service, and growing without losing sight of what matters most: the client.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  380.  
  381. In a world of complexity and ambition, having a partner like that isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  390. &lt;i&gt;Written by Rhiannon Frater&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  391.  
  392. On the academic scene, standardized tests like the SAT continue to pose a seemingly insurmountable challenge for millions of high schoolers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  393.  
  394. Over the years, flashcards, cramming, and studying past SAT tests have done very little for the majorityof students. The highest test scores nationally, in many cases resulting from the exchange of thousands of dollars in private tutoring, have been reserved for families who can afford the luxury of hiring the best SAT prep tutors in the country. In the midst of this, an elite, experienced private tutor is revolutionizing test prep, first with his YouTube channel, and now with an AI-powered test prep platform.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  395.  
  396. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenajohnson1/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Stephen Johnson&lt;/a&gt;, also known as ‘TheSATMathGuy’, is a private tutor with over 20 years of experience, and a proven track record of producing top 1% SAT scores. Stephen’s students have aced their exams with some of the highest national scores, and gone on to get admitted into choice institutions like Stanford, Harvard, Yale, and MIT.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  397.  
  398. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenajohnson1/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Stephen&lt;/a&gt;’s career started immediately after he graduated high school at the age of 16. He began helping high school students struggling in math and science and eventually found himself tutoring the elite class in southern California to ace the SAT and ACT examinations with high scores. What he noticed in these years sparked his vision to change something about the test prep study process.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  399.  
  400. He says, ‘A lot of the test anxiety students feel comes from poor planning and preparation. Students would resort to cramming and trying to master everything in the shortest possible time as if they’d win some badge of honor among their peers. Once they get a plan and realize that they don’t need to do it all overnight, a shift occurs.’ This is the philosophy that laid the foundation of ‘TheSATMathGuy.’&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  401.  
  402. Stephen uses his channel to simplify difficult SAT math problems, offer clear explanations and offer practical guides to students. His videos have thousands of views, impacting students from all around the world, and helping them understand questions and problems that were previously beyond their comprehension.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  403.  
  404. Beyond his YouTube channel, Stephen has designed a test prep methodology he calls ‘Slow prep.’ The strategy, which he started with his private clients has become the core strategy behind AptivPrep, an AI-driven learning platform designed to help students get the highest SAT scores without pressure and stress.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  405.  
  406. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thesatmathguy.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;AptivPrep&lt;/a&gt; was built from Stephen’s decades of experience combined with adaptive learning tools, and AI-powered feedback systems, helping students gain mastery, and confidence, and achieve success that was before now out of their reach.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  407.  
  408. Despite wearing a hat of many feathers, as an entrepreneur, a degree holder in microbiology, immunology, and molecular genetics, and an academic consultant, Stephen feels truly fulfilled when he impacts the lives of students, teaching them better ways to study and gain lasting results.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  409.  
  410. With every YouTube video and student interaction with STEVE, the AI tutor integrated into the  AptivPrep platform, Stephen is building confident, smart, focused, and successful students who take these lessons into different aspects of their lives. He is dedicated to ensuring that students finish strong regardless of the test, exam, or learning curve ahead of them. For Stephen, where you start doesn’t matter as much as how much effort you put into fulfilling your dreams. In a world where good education is expensive and knowledge is shrouded; Stephen is shining the light with his approach to test prep.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  411.  
  412. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephenajohnson1/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Stephen Johnson&lt;/a&gt;’s approach has made tons of 1% SAT top scorers and continues to make a change in the standardized test scene.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  413.  
  414. For deeper study support that goes beyond YouTube videos, AptivPrep is a platform designed to support stress-free, scalable learning. It is a full-scale learning platform with AI-powered insights that help students steadily improve their knowledge and readiness for the SAT.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  415.  
  416. With TheSATMathGuy and AptivPrep, Stephen Johnson is making change happen one student and one lesson at a time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  426.  
  427. &lt;i&gt;Written by Daniel Fusch&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  428.  
  429. &lt;a href=&quot;https://fekrtany.net/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Dr. Kareem Ali&lt;/a&gt; didn’t set out to become a digital wellness leader, but through years of medical training, personal reflection, and a deeply felt desire to uplift his community, he discovered that true healing begins in the mind. Today, as the founder of the influential brand “Fekr Tany,” he is guiding millions toward a new way of thinking and a new way of living.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  430.  
  431. &lt;h2&gt;A Foundation Built on Science and Spirit&lt;/h2&gt;
  432.  
  433. Born and educated in Egypt, Dr. Kareem Ali graduated from Al-Azhar University in 2001 and completed his Ph.D. in Clinical Toxicology in 2013. With further specialization in therapeutic nutrition and a Master&#39;s in Family Medicine from the University of Oradea, Romania, his credentials are deeply rooted in scientific rigor. Yet, it was his passion for emotional well-being and mindset that led him to broaden his approach.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  434.  
  435. Combining holistic health with traditional medicine, Dr. Ali began to question the limits of conventional care. He noticed that lifestyle, habits, and even self-belief often played greater roles in recovery than medicine alone. This insight would spark the birth of &lt;i&gt;“Fekr Tany,”&lt;/i&gt; Arabic for &lt;i&gt;“New Thought.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  436.  
  437. &lt;h2&gt;  Turning Struggles into Service&lt;/h2&gt;
  438.  
  439. Before &lt;i&gt;“Fekr Tany”&lt;/i&gt; became a movement, it began as a simple Facebook page. Dr. Ali spent three years sharing motivation and wisdom with young followers, slowly building a trusted presence. His mission grew when he realized the depth of misinformation and disempowerment surrounding health in Arabic-speaking communities.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  440.  
  441. Many people lacked access to clear, culturally relevant health guidance. Others simply didn’t believe they could change. Dr. Ali&#39;s content began addressing these gaps. He explained complex topics with clarity and compassion, intertwining science with stories from his own life. His openness and transparency about his failures resonated deeply.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  442.  
  443. A message from a young man who credited one of Dr. Ali’s videos with saving his life was a turning point. It became more than content; it became a connection. The brand evolved into a digital home for anyone ready to grow.
  444. The Power of &lt;i&gt;“Fekr Tany”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  445.  
  446. With nearly 6.6 million YouTube subscribers and almost 780 million views, &lt;i&gt;“Fekr Tany”&lt;/i&gt; now stands as one of the most impactful Arabic-language platforms for health and self-development. Dr. Ali reaches millions through Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Snapchat, and more. He works as a physician, author, entrepreneur, speaker, and digital educator.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  447.  
  448. What distinguishes him is his consistent belief that mindset shapes reality. The &lt;i&gt;“New Thought”&lt;/i&gt; philosophy invites you to challenge limiting beliefs, embrace emotional intelligence, and take charge of your life.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  449.  
  450. &lt;h2&gt;Overcoming Barriers, Inspiring Change&lt;/h2&gt;
  451.  
  452. The journey has not been easy. Dr. Ali has faced skepticism from both the medical community and cultural critics. Speaking about mental health or alternative wellness can still be taboo. He counters resistance with transparency and proven knowledge. His dual identity as a scientist and storyteller helps build understanding.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  453.  
  454. Balancing clinical work with content creation has tested his stamina. His resilience stems from a clear purpose: to make health education widely accessible and to encourage personal growth.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  455.  
  456. &lt;h2&gt;A Global Vision&lt;/h2&gt;
  457.  
  458. Looking ahead, Dr. Ali sees &lt;i&gt;“Fekr Tany”&lt;/i&gt; becoming a global resource. He plans to launch content in multiple languages, establish a wellness institute, and publish more books that draw on his unique blend of medical insight and motivational storytelling.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  459.  
  460. If you&#39;re ready to challenge your limits, explore holistic medicine, and rewire your thinking, “Fekr Tany” is a place to begin.

  484. &lt;h2&gt;What Is a Three-Stone Engagement Ring?&lt;/h2&gt;
  485.  
  486. The three-stone engagement ring has long been favored by those who not only value beauty but also &lt;a href=&quot;https://yalebooks.yale.edu/2018/04/20/diamonds-love-and-history/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;symbolism in their jewelry&lt;/a&gt;. These three-stone rings typically feature a larger center stone flanked by smaller side stones. While a center diamond with two smaller diamonds is a popular option, some brides prefer other gemstones, such as bold blue sapphires.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  506.  
  507. Modern celebrities are not shy to showcase their ring fingers soon after getting engaged, leaving many women envious. &lt;b&gt;Kaley Cuoco&lt;/b&gt;, star of the CBS sitcom &lt;i&gt;&quot;The Big Bang Theory,&quot;&lt;/i&gt; showed off her three-stone engagement ring in 2024, featuring a cushion-cut white diamond as the center stone, surrounded by two yellow side stones that represent her husband and daughter.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  508.  
  509. Back in October 2021, &lt;b&gt;Kristin Chenoweth&lt;/b&gt; showed the world her unique engagement ring, a twist on the traditional single-center stone. Instead, the halo engagement ring featured a trio of oval diamonds to signify the Holy Trinity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  510.  
  511. Many other celebs have also shown off their awe-inspiring engagement ring designs and sophisticated diamond cuts. In 2021, &lt;b&gt;Kat Dennings&lt;/b&gt;, best known for her role in the CBS sitcom &lt;i&gt;&quot;2 Broke Girls,&quot;&lt;/i&gt; posted a slideshow on Instagram highlighting her three-stone engagement ring, which featured a stunning center emerald-cut diamond surrounded by two trapezoid side stones.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  537. &lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  538.  
  539. &lt;i&gt;Written by Matt Emma&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  540.  
  541. Cristian Cibils Bernardes remembers the urgency he felt as he prepared to interview his grandmother. She was the family matriarch, the documentarian who archived great-grandparents’ journals and mapped out the family tree. Her life story included fleeing Europe with her MI6 father and settling in Paraguay. Two days before their scheduled call, she suffered a stroke that left her unable to speak for the final 18 months of her life.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  542.  
  543. &lt;i&gt;“Nobody should have the questions they know they’re never going to get answered,”&lt;/i&gt; Cibils says. That moment became the catalyst for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.autograph-ai.com/?utm_source=pr&amp;amp;utm_medium=whitefrair&amp;amp;utm_campaign=beverly_weekly&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Autograph&lt;/a&gt;, the early-stage company he founded to help people preserve their life stories in a format that is both searchable and deeply personal. With no need for downloads or technical expertise, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.autograph-ai.com/?utm_source=pr&amp;amp;utm_medium=whitefrair&amp;amp;utm_campaign=beverly_weekly&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Autograph &lt;/a&gt;operates through weekly phone calls and creates a lasting digital footprint of a person’s voice, memories, and wisdom.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  544.  
  545. &lt;h2&gt;Using Voice to Remove Friction&lt;/h2&gt;
  546.  
  547. Trained in Symbolic Systems at Stanford, Cristian has spent more than a decade working in artificial intelligence. But he believes the most powerful technology does not always require a screen. &lt;i&gt;“I’m done with apps,”&lt;/i&gt; he says. &lt;i&gt;“You open the app store, download a thing, sign up, get notifications you don’t want, and your phone becomes cluttered.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  548.  
  549. Rather than burden users with yet another application, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.autograph-ai.com/?utm_source=pr&amp;amp;utm_medium=whitefrair&amp;amp;utm_campaign=beverly_weekly&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Autograph&lt;/a&gt; is designed to be frictionless. The target demographic includes older adults, often 70 and up, who might find app-based services cumbersome. Their children or grandchildren sign up online, and the recipient simply gets a text or phone call from Walter, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.autograph-ai.com/?utm_source=pr&amp;amp;utm_medium=whitefrair&amp;amp;utm_campaign=beverly_weekly&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Autograph’s AI historian&lt;/a&gt;. The experience is as simple as answering a phone call, yet it is underpinned by advanced language models, transcription tools, and memory indexing. &lt;i&gt;“It feels like talking to a person on the other side,”&lt;/i&gt; says Cibils. “The service is designed to make you feel like the main character.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  550.  
  551. &lt;h2&gt;From Conversation to Searchable Legacy&lt;/h2&gt;
  552.  
  553. Each conversation becomes part of a structured, web-based portal where users can access recordings, transcripts, and story summaries. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.autograph-ai.com/?utm_source=pr&amp;amp;utm_medium=whitefrair&amp;amp;utm_campaign=beverly_weekly&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Autograph&lt;/a&gt; automatically extracts key elements from those transcripts. If someone mentions a friend named Lisa, the system creates a page for Lisa, linking every moment she appears across interviews.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  554.  
  555. &lt;i&gt;“It’s like a personal Wikipedia of your life and the people in it,”&lt;/i&gt; Cibils explains. The same is true for places, events, or recurring themes. Family members can continue conversations about specific memories or contribute their own versions of shared experiences. The result is a dynamic, evolving archive of personal history, stored in a way that is both navigable and intimate.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  556.  
  557. &lt;h2&gt;AI Personas That Speak With Familiar Voices&lt;/h2&gt;
  558.  
  559. Beyond documentation, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.autograph-ai.com/?utm_source=pr&amp;amp;utm_medium=whitefrair&amp;amp;utm_campaign=beverly_weekly&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Autograph&lt;/a&gt; builds a digital persona that sounds like the user and contains their memories. These AI-based models can answer questions as if they were the person speaking, offering perspectives on everything from life-changing decisions to simple recommendations. &lt;i&gt;“Walter can hand the phone to someone you need to talk to. That might be a version of yourself from five years ago or someone who is no longer around,”&lt;/i&gt; Cibils says. It is not just a tool for remembering the past, but for engaging with time in both directions. Conversations that begin in the present often echo into the future, creating opportunities for users to reflect on how they have changed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  560.  
  561. &lt;h2&gt;Trust, Privacy, and the Architecture of Memory&lt;/h2&gt;
  562.  
  563. Every element within &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.autograph-ai.com/?utm_source=pr&amp;amp;utm_medium=whitefrair&amp;amp;utm_campaign=beverly_weekly&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Autograph&lt;/a&gt; is private by default. Users decide what to share and with whom, and the system enables highly specific permissions. A story about a college night out might be shareable with friends, while another memory is reserved only for children once they turn 18. &lt;i&gt;“We’ve built this as a kind of bank vault for your memories,”&lt;/i&gt; Cibils explains. &lt;i&gt;“We never weaponize your data. Everything we build is focused on making your life better and supporting the people you love.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  564.  
  565. For those who missed the chance to record a loved one directly, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.autograph-ai.com/?utm_source=pr&amp;amp;utm_medium=whitefrair&amp;amp;utm_campaign=beverly_weekly&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Autograph&lt;/a&gt; is developing tools to reconstruct personas from artifacts such as journals, photos, and legacy audio. Although these formats are often fragmented and difficult to organize at scale, Cibils believes the interim solution lies in community storytelling. &lt;i&gt;“Every family member can add their favorite grandma stories,” he says. “It won’t be her voice yet, but we can preserve the impact she had on others.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  566.  
  567. &lt;h2&gt;A Long-Term Conversation With Yourself&lt;/h2&gt;
  568.  
  569. The platform’s structure enables people to revisit different phases of their own lives. As Cibils puts it,&lt;i&gt; “You will not be the same person at year ten as you were at year one.”&lt;/i&gt; The ability to interact with past and future selves opens a new kind of dialogue, one rooted in continuity and growth. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.autograph-ai.com/?utm_source=pr&amp;amp;utm_medium=whitefrair&amp;amp;utm_campaign=beverly_weekly&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Autograph&lt;/a&gt; invites users to speak not only for their families but to their own evolving identity.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

The free event promises a vibrant day filled with music, dance, international cuisine, interactive workshops, and performances that honor diverse cultural expressions from around the world. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  586.  
  587. &lt;h2&gt;Honoring Culture Through Performance&lt;/h2&gt;
  588. “Festival Beverly Hills is more than an event—it’s a joyful celebration of who we are as a community,” said Beverly Hills Mayor Sharona Nazarian. “From music and dance to food and art, it’s a day where people from all parts of our city come alive through culture, connection, learning, and pride.” &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  589.  
  590. Returning crowd favorites include performances and activations from the Farhang Foundation, Kooban Ensemble, and beloved Iranian-American Chef Mojdeh Eghbal, who will showcase rich culinary traditions. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  591.  
  592. &lt;h2&gt;Family-Friendly Fun and Interactive Workshops&lt;/h2&gt;

  598.

  600.  
  601. Appearances by LA Commons&#39; giant backpack puppets, a favorite among kids and adults alike &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  602.  
  603. &lt;h2&gt;Global Highlights from the Consular Corps&lt;/h2&gt;
  604. The Consular Corps of Los Angeles returns as a key cultural partner, highlighting the international spirit of the festival. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  605.  
  606. Trinidad and Tobago will be represented through rhythmic performances. “Being part of a movement brings joy, representing the Trinbagonian culture,” said Joan Chanman Forbes, Consulate of Trinidad and Tobago.
  607.  
  608. The Italian Consulate presents bassist and jazz composer Luca Alemanno, who will reimagine the works of iconic Italian film composers Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota.
  609.  
  610. The Senegalese Consulate will offer storytelling, fashion, and traditional arts, sharing the richness of African heritage with attendees. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  611.  
  612. &lt;h2&gt;Don’t Miss This Free Cultural Experience&lt;/h2&gt;
  613. Whether you’re coming for the music, food, family fun, or global flair, Festival Beverly Hills 2025 is set to deliver a day of celebration, unity, and cultural pride. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  620. &lt;/center&gt;
  621.  
  622. &lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  623.  
  624. &lt;h2&gt;Matū’s $64 Tasting Menu Might Be the Best Deal in Beverly Hills&lt;/h2&gt;
  625. If you&#39;re looking for upscale dining without breaking the bank, Matū in Beverly Hills may just have the best deal in town. Known for its commitment to 100% grass-fed wagyu beef from New Zealand, the steakhouse blends sustainability, health consciousness, and exceptional quality—all wrapped into a modern, no-fuss dining experience. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  626.  
  627. The restaurant offers several tasting menu options, but the one that truly stands out is the Picanha Dinner: a four-course experience priced at just $64. Considering many high-end steakhouses in Los Angeles charge that much for a single entrée, this deal is a standout. (For context, Matū’s most indulgent offering, the Lock, Stock &amp; Barrel seven-course menu for four, runs $115 per person.) &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  628.  
  629. &lt;h2&gt;Course One: 24-Hour Bone Broth&lt;/h2&gt;
  630. The tasting kicks off with a 24-hour bone broth, deeply rich and full of flavor. It’s a great introduction to the kitchen’s philosophy, though it leans heavy. A few sips in, and you’ll already feel warmed and grounded—but also surprisingly full. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  631.  
  632. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjBeb8jr5EwBEdYz9dnDut9phk2f3m0D9JyTJxBXUntbX4sYxxtiCV4ykjBvs82Ya5xVZ5BzrXlP7p95XjVB3T8-u7G6kFSpDZLynio-66WRznJgpsKFlNIgT4K2BsG5eEIJD7i8T9noyhLchQT2qwDAnqUHYrIMru3mMQ-_aIl48MM1R9aXPNxQX3YM/s1600/Crockpot-Bone-Broth-5-1280x720.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;720&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBjBeb8jr5EwBEdYz9dnDut9phk2f3m0D9JyTJxBXUntbX4sYxxtiCV4ykjBvs82Ya5xVZ5BzrXlP7p95XjVB3T8-u7G6kFSpDZLynio-66WRznJgpsKFlNIgT4K2BsG5eEIJD7i8T9noyhLchQT2qwDAnqUHYrIMru3mMQ-_aIl48MM1R9aXPNxQX3YM/s1600/Crockpot-Bone-Broth-5-1280x720.jpg&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  633.  
  634. &lt;h2&gt;Course Two: Shrimp Cocktail&lt;/h2&gt;
  635. Next is a classic shrimp cocktail, elevated with a bold, zesty cocktail sauce and freshly grated horseradish. The portion includes four large, juicy shrimp that taste as fresh as you&#39;d find at a coastal seafood shack. Each bite is layered with spice, sweetness, and texture—simple, clean, and satisfying. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  636.  
  637. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUj5TEU86D70BEZxcETzaVzFrm8Umv0X0USOODH4pgikso6us9pdfcwaJK9E_st8HcjO7P80KpkxVR27-BXs43232NYrRDNyMA9_mYx_YqeHm1keE8pB6KOasPoOdfAX4FsnaegCyOwsql66zam_eo5XJoeB57PYONanAzsPxpxTSnAiIA4JmE1MA2EFA/s1600/Shrimp%20Cocktail-1280x720.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;720&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUj5TEU86D70BEZxcETzaVzFrm8Umv0X0USOODH4pgikso6us9pdfcwaJK9E_st8HcjO7P80KpkxVR27-BXs43232NYrRDNyMA9_mYx_YqeHm1keE8pB6KOasPoOdfAX4FsnaegCyOwsql66zam_eo5XJoeB57PYONanAzsPxpxTSnAiIA4JmE1MA2EFA/s1600/Shrimp%20Cocktail-1280x720.jpg&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  638.  
  639. &lt;h2&gt;Course Three: Beef Croquetas&lt;/h2&gt;
  640. The third course—beef croquetas served over celeriac purée—aims for comfort but falls slightly short. Though perfectly crisped on the outside with tender beef inside, the flavor is muted and could’ve used more seasoning, especially salt. It&#39;s not a miss, but it doesn&#39;t shine as brightly as the other courses. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  641.  
  642. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibi9AaO58QDnyN_OKgDzFmx81HsLMS4jtXwomoXk-5U9OEhGmGb_GaFkz6PZXM37zfZ9OdTpyt8ygmNoXQ2M9jUxMgZcmkEc5uyQvQIAYbtLiBaPthiI2tCNK-Rxlza6MN4nBE9MdXjOUxiI_-B7E2YabgKVeQ7DPgtPALyE9bqSL1dZONhta8-d743wo/s1600/Beef%20Croquetas-1280x720.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;720&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibi9AaO58QDnyN_OKgDzFmx81HsLMS4jtXwomoXk-5U9OEhGmGb_GaFkz6PZXM37zfZ9OdTpyt8ygmNoXQ2M9jUxMgZcmkEc5uyQvQIAYbtLiBaPthiI2tCNK-Rxlza6MN4nBE9MdXjOUxiI_-B7E2YabgKVeQ7DPgtPALyE9bqSL1dZONhta8-d743wo/s1600/Beef%20Croquetas-1280x720.jpg&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  643.  
  644. &lt;h2&gt;Main Event: The Picanha Steak&lt;/h2&gt;
  645. Redemption comes swiftly with the star of the meal: the picanha steak, also known as sirloin cap. Expertly sliced and served medium-rare, it reveals a beautiful pink center and melts in your mouth with every bite. The beef-forward focus of the restaurant is on full display here, and it’s a highlight that feels luxe without being overstated. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  646.  
  647. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaumbc_ttgwXWSxLMWPG0dyqFjXm7UespUPuxI82lp6WWANhMSJ-o6QjSmjQAaCZEY48O8PxsJS2UEMSU7ytYYpCEGSOlvN7Ua3I_qgSjAOA5_xfgP6YFCZoz0XGlOKEwDbR2ZoBsK7mERz8Yqm6nOOCyKjWtyn3Kq5ze0Xyv1b2eBumPM456bbkcYG-U/s1600/Picanah%20Steak-1280x720.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;720&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjaumbc_ttgwXWSxLMWPG0dyqFjXm7UespUPuxI82lp6WWANhMSJ-o6QjSmjQAaCZEY48O8PxsJS2UEMSU7ytYYpCEGSOlvN7Ua3I_qgSjAOA5_xfgP6YFCZoz0XGlOKEwDbR2ZoBsK7mERz8Yqm6nOOCyKjWtyn3Kq5ze0Xyv1b2eBumPM456bbkcYG-U/s1600/Picanah%20Steak-1280x720.jpg&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  648.  
  649. Accompanying the steak is Matū’s signature ‘47’ salad, which is nicely dressed but scant in portion—just a few leaves on the plate, leaving it feeling more like a garnish than a course. Still, when the star is wagyu, it’s hard to complain. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  650.  
  651. &lt;h2&gt;Final Verdict&lt;/h2&gt;
  652. At just $64, Matū’s Picanha Dinner is an incredible value in one of the priciest neighborhoods in Los Angeles. While one course slightly underwhelmed, the overall quality, presentation, and thoughtful progression of flavors make this tasting menu worth every penny. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  653.  
  654. Whether you&#39;re a local foodie or just looking for a reasonably priced fine dining experience in Beverly Hills, Matū offers a steak-centric tasting menu that feels luxurious but totally accessible. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.beverlyweekly.com/feeds/1974517404445919821/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.beverlyweekly.com/2025/06/matu-beverly-hills-64-tasting-menu-review.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/4289438547682685400/posts/default/1974517404445919821'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/4289438547682685400/posts/default/1974517404445919821'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.beverlyweekly.com/2025/06/matu-beverly-hills-64-tasting-menu-review.html' title='The Best $64 You Can Spend in Beverly Hills: Matū’s Four-Course Wagyu Tasting Menu'/><author><name>J.

  660. &lt;h2&gt;Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham Buy Their Dream Home in Beverly Hills for $16 Million&lt;/h2&gt;
  661. After years of house hunting and a few real estate missteps along the way, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham have officially found their dream marital home—a $16 million mansion in the upscale Trousdale Estates neighborhood of Beverly Hills. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  662.  
  663. According to property records, the couple quietly closed on the deal at the end of 2024 via an LLC. A source close to the duo told Realtor.com that they were searching for “the one” for quite some time—and when they saw this property, they knew it was it. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  664.  
  665. “They’d been in the hunt for a dream home for a while and fell in love with this place when they saw it,” the insider revealed. “They’re looking forward to building a life there together.” &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  666.  
  667. &lt;h2&gt;Scoring Big on a Discounted Beverly Hills Villa&lt;/h2&gt;
  668. The four-bedroom, six-bathroom modern villa was previously listed for nearly $19 million but had been pulled from the market before Brooklyn and Nicola sealed the deal—saving themselves several million in the process. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  669.  
  670. Notably, the home is located just minutes from a property owned by family friend Elton John, and is only a five-minute drive from the couple’s previous Beverly Hills home, which they bought in 2021 for $10.5 million but sold months later for $9.25 million—a loss that Nicola later described as “silly” in a Cosmopolitan interview. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  671.  
  672. &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilhHupaXR2JsGgiw7V79Rz4xYvg0TkXcaX3t_95mdJuTLNNudG_r5zPdW9EFXCBeySZnRDT4Zn0E6TORlwLu1Whn1KQKVuOUHcLLrES1lH9fC1ve1xFj48-vuiZYgX7-MzqZ7f6QH017MZFohYJM7a_EHBTj7BCAzl6wuS0WJifT7PuO38YmYAUciyvsU/s1600/Mansion%20Brooklyn-1280x720.jpg&quot; style=&quot;display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; &quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;720&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilhHupaXR2JsGgiw7V79Rz4xYvg0TkXcaX3t_95mdJuTLNNudG_r5zPdW9EFXCBeySZnRDT4Zn0E6TORlwLu1Whn1KQKVuOUHcLLrES1lH9fC1ve1xFj48-vuiZYgX7-MzqZ7f6QH017MZFohYJM7a_EHBTj7BCAzl6wuS0WJifT7PuO38YmYAUciyvsU/s1600/Mansion%20Brooklyn-1280x720.jpg&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
  673.  
  674. &lt;h2&gt;A Lesson Learned—and a New Chapter&lt;/h2&gt;
  675. In that interview, Nicola reflected on the impulsive nature of their prior home purchase, explaining the couple initially planned to move to Florida to be closer to her family and David Beckham’s Inter Miami CF soccer club. “Then we’re like, ‘No, just kidding, we have to be in L.A. for work,’” she said. “It was so silly of us. And now we’re saving up money to get our dream house.” &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  676.  
  677. That dream has now become a reality—complete with $100,000 worth of designer furniture and art, a wet bar, fitness center, home theater, and a grove of olive trees. Records show the couple financed the purchase with a 15-year mortgage worth close to $13 million. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  678.  
  679. &lt;h2&gt;Rumors and Reality: The Family Feud Speculation&lt;/h2&gt;
  680. Despite excitement over their new milestone, reports have circulated that the decision to settle down in California has further fueled rumors of tension between the Beckhams and the Peltz family, particularly over finances. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  681.  
  682. One source told The Sun that David and Victoria Beckham were hesitant to bankroll the multi-million-dollar home. “David and Victoria are two working-class kids done good,” the insider said. “Of course they weren’t just going to hand their son millions… what sort of message does that send?” &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  683.  
  684. But others close to the couple are pushing back against the drama. An insider told The Mirror, “It’s disappointing—and frankly absurd—that anyone would try to twist Nicola and Brooklyn’s marriage, and this meaningful milestone of home ownership, into something toxic.” &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  685.  
  686. &lt;h2&gt;Why Beverly Hills Feels Like Home&lt;/h2&gt;
  687. The couple’s decision to stay in Los Angeles makes perfect sense, according to those close to them. “Brooklyn attended school in L.A. for several years and built a life and friendships in the city. L.A. has always felt like home to him,” the source added. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  688.  
  689. Before moving into their new estate, Brooklyn and Nicola had been living in a nearby luxury condo unit originally purchased by Nicola’s mother, Claudia Heffner Peltz, for $3.8 million back in 2012. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  690.  
  691. With this new chapter, the Peltz Beckhams look set to settle into the Beverly Hills lifestyle—this time, for good. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.beverlyweekly.com/feeds/1752224320408713217/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.beverlyweekly.com/2025/06/brooklyn-nicola-peltz-beckham-buy-beverly-hills-dream-home.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/4289438547682685400/posts/default/1752224320408713217'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/4289438547682685400/posts/default/1752224320408713217'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.beverlyweekly.com/2025/06/brooklyn-nicola-peltz-beckham-buy-beverly-hills-dream-home.html' title='Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz Beckham Find Their $16M Dream Home in Beverly Hills'/><author><name>J.

  693. &lt;/center&gt;
  694. &lt;hr&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  695.  
  696. &lt;h2&gt;Mariska Hargitay Honors Her Iconic Mother, Jayne Mansfield, With Fashion and Film&lt;/h2&gt;
  697. Mariska Hargitay, star of Law &amp; Order: SVU, has honored her late mother, Jayne Mansfield, with both a heartfelt documentary and a nostalgic fashion tribute. During a recent appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Hargitay, 61, stunned in a black Stella McCartney suit adorned with metallic embellishments — a modern nod to a gown Mansfield famously wore at the 1958 Cannes Film Festival.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  698.  
  699. “She wore a dress just like this,” Hargitay shared with Colbert. “It’s a little homage to her.” At Cannes, Mansfield turned heads in a black dress featuring metallic details, paired with a black fur stole and white gloves. By her side was husband Mickey Hargitay, Mariska’s father.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  700.  
  701. &lt;h2&gt;“My Mom, Jayne”: A Daughter’s Emotional Directorial Debut&lt;/h2&gt;
  702. Hargitay has also stepped behind the camera for the first time with her documentary My Mom, Jayne, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival on June 13, 2025. The film provides an intimate look at Mansfield’s life — not just as a Hollywood sex symbol but as a complex woman and devoted mother.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  703.  
  704. “I&#39;ve spent my whole life distancing myself from my mother,” Hargitay says in the film’s trailer. “Her career made me want to do it differently, but I want to understand her now.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  705.  
  706. &lt;h2&gt;Surviving Tragedy, Searching for Truth&lt;/h2&gt;
  707. Jayne Mansfield died tragically in a car crash in 1967 at the age of 34. Mariska, then only three years old, survived the accident along with her two older brothers. Though she has no personal memories of her mother, Hargitay’s journey to direct the documentary became a way to fill that emotional gap.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  708.  
  709. “I’ve never talked to my siblings about their experiences,” she revealed. The film brings together Mansfield’s children — Jayne Marie Mansfield, Mickey Hargitay Jr., Zoltan Hargitay, and Tony Cimber — each offering personal memories and reflections on the real woman behind the glamorous image.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  710.  
  711. &lt;h2&gt;A Family Reflects on the Woman Behind the Fame&lt;/h2&gt;
  712. The documentary navigates the contrast between Mansfield’s public persona and her private life. “I looked the other way because I knew she was really smart,” says Mickey Jr. in the film, challenging long-held assumptions about his mother’s image as simply a blonde bombshell.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  713.  
  714. Their reflections help dismantle the stereotype and give a fuller, more human picture of Mansfield — as a mother, performer, and woman ahead of her time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  715.  
  716. &lt;h2&gt;Streaming Release Timed to Anniversary of Mansfield’s Death&lt;/h2&gt;
  717. My Mom, Jayne will be available to stream on Max starting June 27, 2025 — just two days before the 58th anniversary of Mansfield’s death. The release date adds even more poignancy to Hargitay’s tribute, as it offers fans and new audiences alike a chance to rediscover Jayne Mansfield’s legacy beyond the spotlight.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  718.  
  719. &lt;h2&gt;Legacy Through Lens and Love&lt;/h2&gt;
  720. With both fashion and film, Mariska Hargitay is reshaping the narrative surrounding her iconic mother. Her choice to honor Mansfield at Tribeca and on late-night television speaks to a growing embrace of her roots — and a commitment to telling a more complete, personal story.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  721.  
  722. “My goal was never just to make a film about a star,” Hargitay shared. “It was to make peace with my past — and to finally meet the woman who gave me life.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.beverlyweekly.com/feeds/5169113504941436191/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.beverlyweekly.com/2025/06/mariska-hargitay-jayne-mansfield-tribute-documentary-2025.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/4289438547682685400/posts/default/5169113504941436191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/4289438547682685400/posts/default/5169113504941436191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.beverlyweekly.com/2025/06/mariska-hargitay-jayne-mansfield-tribute-documentary-2025.html' title='Mariska Hargitay Pays Tribute to Jayne Mansfield With Documentary and Cannes-Inspired Look'/><author><name>J.

  723.  &lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7Ut_GpuP-nEkbKYU3O2oMZqydai2vwdGedgXjPGxh2iizEWhSRAqhbD6vjTZtHoZheB3GAWKkLhF-PNBlPtusgR5JET44vbelDoP-jjyySk0kcbyJSnYfbeH0BZTfU_Mdli59Gv47vmgOJfXkxgIhc0QSrc-IVe33VXyhbkWr_We3QEhwrO0aemNYC3I/s1600/Brad%20Pitt-1280x720%20%281%29.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;Brad Pitt &#39;F1&#39; Movie&quot; style=&quot;width:100%;&quot;&gt;
  724. &lt;/center&gt;
  725. &lt;hr&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  726.  
  727. &lt;h2&gt;‘F1’ Movie Sets New Standard by Merging Real Racing With Big-Screen Drama&lt;/h2&gt;
  728. In a cinematic first, the upcoming &#39;F1&#39; movie, starring Brad Pitt, puts viewers in the driver’s seat—literally. Filmed on real Formula 1 tracks during actual Grand Prix weekends, the Apple Original Films production aims to deliver the most immersive racing film ever made. With seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton as a producer, authenticity was non-negotiable.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  729.  
  730. Hamilton was impressed by Pitt’s dedication and talent behind the wheel. “He had a bit of a feel for it already,” Hamilton said at a media event ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix. “Straight away you could see he had a concept of a driving line.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  731.  
  732. &lt;h2&gt;Filmed Live on F1 Tracks With Real Teams and Drivers&lt;/h2&gt;
  733. Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, F1 The Movie premieres in theaters on June 27, 2025, distributed by Warner Bros. It stars Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a fictional F1 driver making an improbable comeback with the APXGP team.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  734.  
  735. What sets this film apart is its filming method: capturing real-time footage alongside actual F1 teams and drivers, a first in motorsport filmmaking. The production was so seamlessly integrated into the sport that by the end of filming, it felt to many in the paddock like “an 11th team,” according to Haas F1 veteran Peter Crolla.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  736.  
  737. &lt;h2&gt;Storyline: Redemption, Rivalry, and Real Risk&lt;/h2&gt;
  738. The film follows Hayes, a once-promising driver whose career was cut short in the 1990s after a devastating crash. Now, decades later, he’s called back by his former teammate (played by Javier Bardem) to mentor a young rookie (played by Damson Idris) in a desperate bid to save the struggling APXGP team.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  739.  
  740. Kosinski and Hamilton worked closely to strike the right balance between cinematic license and motorsport realism, pushing boundaries just far enough to entertain without losing the sport’s essence. Yes, some scenes might raise eyebrows among hardcore F1 fans—such as mid-race conversations in the pit lane—but the film’s goal is entertainment first, not documentary-level precision.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  741.  
  742. &lt;h2&gt;Pitt Trained Like a Real Driver&lt;/h2&gt;
  743. Pitt underwent a rigorous three-month training regimen, starting in a Formula 3 car before moving up to faster machinery. He did all his own driving in the movie. “The saddest day for Brad was when he had to step out of the car,” Bruckheimer noted. “I was relieved everyone was safe.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  744.  
  745. Even Hamilton admitted that Pitt developed a genuine respect for the physical demands of racing. “He’d text me after testing, like, ‘My appreciation for what you drivers do is even higher than it already was.’”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  746.  
  747. &lt;h2&gt;Authenticity on Screen: Real Announcers, Real Terminology&lt;/h2&gt;
  748. To bring an added layer of realism, the film features Sky Sports F1 commentators David Croft and Martin Brundle—two voices familiar to millions of fans. They recorded 19 hours of dialogue, helping anchor the story in the language of actual race commentary.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  749.  
  750. From racing terms like “oversteer,” “DRS,” and “Eau Rouge” to nods to legendary drivers like Ayrton Senna, the movie doesn’t shy away from motorsport lingo. Kosinski said it was about “threading the needle” between hardcore fans and casual moviegoers.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  751.  
  752. &lt;h2&gt;A Cultural Moment for Formula 1&lt;/h2&gt;
  753. The film arrives at a pivotal moment for Formula 1 in the U.S. With the sport’s surging popularity, largely thanks to Netflix’s Drive to Survive, F1 is more visible than ever. Apple’s Eddy Cue noted that audiences unfamiliar with the sport left test screenings wanting to attend a race—proof of the movie’s potential to expand F1’s fanbase globally.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  754.  
  755. Formula 1 CEO Stefano Domenicali agrees. “This will be perceived as racing action, authentic fighting. I’m pretty sure of it.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  756.  
  757. &lt;h2&gt;Love, Drama, Speed: A Full Hollywood Package&lt;/h2&gt;
  758. True to its genre, F1 also features a romantic subplot. Kerry Condon plays technical director Kate McKenna, who not only designs Pitt’s car but becomes part of his personal story. While purists may critique the dramatization, producers insist it serves the broader goal: telling a compelling story.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  759.  
  760. “We’re here to entertain,” Bruckheimer emphasized. “It’s not a documentary—it’s a movie. Hopefully, it moves people emotionally.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  761.  
  762. &lt;h2&gt;Conclusion: A High-Speed, High-Stakes Cinematic First&lt;/h2&gt;
  763. F1 The Movie isn&#39;t just another racing flick—it’s a groundbreaking hybrid of real motorsport and Hollywood storytelling, offering something truly new for fans and newcomers alike. Whether you&#39;re a longtime F1 follower or a first-time viewer, expect a film that’s emotionally charged, visually thrilling, and deeply respectful of the sport.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  764.

  767. &lt;/center&gt;
  768. &lt;hr&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  769.  
  770. &lt;h2&gt;Academy Honors Cruise, Parton, Allen, and Thomas at 2025 Governors Awards&lt;/h2&gt;
  771. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced the honorees for the 16th annual Governors Awards, selecting four iconic figures across film, television, design, and music. Set for November 16, 2025, at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Hollywood, the event will celebrate Tom Cruise, Debbie Allen, Wynn Thomas, and Dolly Parton for their unparalleled contributions to entertainment and humanitarian work.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  772.  
  773. The board of governors, made up of 55 industry leaders, cast their final votes of the 2024–2025 term to recognize these trailblazing talents. As Academy President Janet Yang noted, “This year’s Governors Awards will celebrate four legendary individuals whose extraordinary careers and commitment to our filmmaking community continue to leave a lasting impact.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  774.  
  775. &lt;h2&gt;Tom Cruise: The Last Movie Star Receives an Honorary Oscar&lt;/h2&gt;
  776. At 62, Tom Cruise is finally being honored with an Honorary Oscar for his enduring impact on cinema. With a career spanning over four decades—from Risky Business in 1983 to Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning in 2025—Cruise has defined what it means to be a movie star.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  777.  
  778. A four-time Oscar nominee, Cruise has worked with legendary directors like Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, Steven Spielberg, and Paul Thomas Anderson. In recent years, he’s become an unmatched advocate for the theatrical experience, producing and starring in blockbuster hits like Top Gun: Maverick and Mission: Impossible sequels, often performing his own stunts.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  779.  
  780. His influence, both on-screen and behind the scenes, as a producer and champion of action cinema, is credited with revitalizing moviegoing post-pandemic—what Steven Spielberg famously called “saving Hollywood’s ass.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  781.  
  782. &lt;h2&gt;Dolly Parton: Humanitarian Icon to Receive Jean Hersholt Award&lt;/h2&gt;
  783. Dolly Parton, the beloved 79-year-old country music legend, will be presented with the prestigious Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. While known for her roles in 9 to 5 and The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and Oscar-nominated songs like “Nine to Five” and “Travelin’ Thru,” Parton&#39;s true legacy may lie in her philanthropy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  784.  
  785. Through her Dollywood Foundation and Imagination Library, Parton has distributed over 285 million books to children globally. Her passionate advocacy for literacy, healthcare, and inclusivity—along with her support for COVID-19 vaccine development—exemplifies the humanitarian spirit the award is meant to honor.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  786.  
  787. &lt;h2&gt;Debbie Allen: A Trailblazer in Dance, Acting, and Education&lt;/h2&gt;
  788. A true Renaissance woman, Debbie Allen, 75, will receive an Honorary Oscar for her groundbreaking career across the arts. Best known as Lydia Grant in Fame, Allen also choreographed the film and its TV adaptation. Her body of work spans 21 Emmy nominations (with five wins), two Tony nominations, and accolades from the Television Academy and Kennedy Center.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  789.  
  790. Beyond entertainment, Allen is a tireless advocate for arts education, leading initiatives through her Debbie Allen Dance Academy and producing culturally significant works like The Six Triple Eight. Her choreography for seven Oscars telecasts cements her as a powerful force in Hollywood history.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  791.  
  792. &lt;h2&gt;Wynn Thomas: Visionary Production Designer Makes History&lt;/h2&gt;
  793. Acclaimed production designer Wynn Thomas, known for his collaborations with Spike Lee, including Do the Right Thing and Malcolm X, will also receive an Honorary Oscar. A pioneer in the field, Thomas was the first African American to join the Art Directors Guild, and he’s mentored countless designers throughout his career.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  794.  
  795. With a filmography that spans work with directors like Francis Ford Coppola, Ron Howard, and Barry Levinson, Thomas has shaped the visual language of some of the most impactful films of the last four decades, including Hidden Figures and King Richard.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  796.  
  797. He has earned multiple honors, including two ADG Awards and the ADG Lifetime Achievement Award in 2024, recognizing both his craft and his legacy as an advocate for diversity and education in the industry.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  798.  
  799. &lt;h2&gt;Celebrating Legacy and Impact&lt;/h2&gt;
  800. The Governors Awards, often seen as a prelude to the Oscars, are a time when the Academy pauses to reflect on lifetime achievements that transcend categories and awards seasons. Cruise, Parton, Allen, and Thomas now join a distinguished group of recipients who have redefined excellence in entertainment.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  801.  
  802. As Hollywood continues to evolve, the 2025 honorees stand as beacons of creativity, resilience, and heart—each contributing not only to film but to the world beyond it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  803.  
  804. The ceremony takes place on November 16, 2025, in Los Angeles, marking a night that will celebrate history, inspire the future, and honor those who’ve shaped the very soul of cinema.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.beverlyweekly.com/feeds/217084693605806292/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.beverlyweekly.com/2025/06/academy-governors-awards-2025-tom-cruise-dolly-parton-honorees.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/4289438547682685400/posts/default/217084693605806292'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/4289438547682685400/posts/default/217084693605806292'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.beverlyweekly.com/2025/06/academy-governors-awards-2025-tom-cruise-dolly-parton-honorees.html' title='Tom Cruise, Dolly Parton, Debbie Allen, and Wynn Thomas to Receive Top Honors at 2025 Governors Awards'/><author><name>J.

  815.  
  816.  
  817. There’s a shift happening in jewelry boxes everywhere. Glossy, soulless luxury is being quietly replaced by something with a pulse. Women want more from their jewelry than sparkle—they want meaning. They want pieces that say, &lt;i&gt;“I’ve lived. I’ve healed. I’ve loved.”&lt;/i&gt; And this summer, The Finest Stack is saying it louder than anyone else.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  818.  
  819. &lt;h2&gt;Jewelry That Speaks Your Truth&lt;/h2&gt;
  820.  
  821. Forget cold perfection. The Finest Stack has become the cool girl jewelry brand by rewriting the rules of what “fine” even means. The acronym behind the name—f’d up, insecure, neurotic, emotionally unavailable—turns what we hide into what we wear. It’s unapologetic. It&#39;s honest. It’s deeply personal.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  822.

  826. &lt;/center&gt;
  827. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Image Source: The Finest Stack&lt;/span&gt;
  828. &lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  829.  
  830. Founded by &lt;b&gt;Annika Thomas&lt;/b&gt;, the luxury jewelry brand was born not from trend forecasting or glossy fashion boards, but from grief. When Annika lost her father in 2016, she began crafting what she couldn’t yet say out loud. Her first designs weren’t business strategies—they were survival tools. Now, years later, those same instincts have built a brand that feels less like a collection and more like a conversation.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  831.  
  832. &lt;center&gt;
  833.  &lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGyUgqjOTmRJdf6DkrEEVxnfRMY8VHEugxb5EstX3e3TIeS_JknUQnq-BQ4NXYzSNsOAEMt103y0R1xTHHXc38i3h1Qe5MY9wuHZk7Qrhk7zqJC-eI3q60lb2eebHVvkhFzr4Kl9Aa7xoJaqPph0WF4jWKvsHxxWcdMUdg7bvZwmTTjl-3gLHtMH-gYoA/s1600/TheBeverlyWeekly-The-Finest-Stack.png&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; style=&quot;width:100%;&quot;&gt;
  834. &lt;/center&gt;
  835. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Image Source: The Finest Stack&lt;/span&gt;
  836. &lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  837.  
  838. &lt;h2&gt;  Sustainability With Substance&lt;/h2&gt;
  839.  
  840. But The Finest Stack doesn’t just wear well—it means well. Every design uses recycled gold and ethically sourced gemstones, a commitment that grounds the collection in care as much as craft. It’s proof that you don’t have to sacrifice your values to wear something beautiful.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  841.  
  842. From delicate chains that mark new beginnings to chunky rings that feel like personal armor, each piece of recycled gold jewelry invites the wearer to reflect, reclaim, and restack their story. It’s no surprise that customers return not just for the shine but for the symbolism. One woman wears her Rain Charm Necklace as a daily reminder of the storms she’s survived. Another chose a Heartache Ring the day she walked away from a relationship that no longer served her.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  843.  
  844. This is jewelry for emotional healing—thoughtfully made, intentionally worn.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  845.  
  846. &lt;center&gt;
  847.  &lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDFh0uiceCP34URxI2G27BVbiAwcjsx8TBtXtwjAIgNHV2-8bIqZI_DVA9mhhRdJw0_2bRTHObqecIbtBxwzBxEy-W7CCCNkxuQcTkdCOI6dlPZtGlxHo4rEJ9FQfA63fx8puPEjdU7sENEq1k-UjADasMKxItbC6zMyKjX5w6QP_mKK2xU5y0UMvaI2c/s1600/TheBeverlyWeekly-The-Finest-Stack5.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;The Finest Stack Jewelry&quot; style=&quot;width:100%;&quot;&gt;

  850. &lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  851.  
  852. &lt;h2&gt;  Luxury With a Pulse&lt;/h2&gt;
  853.  
  854. What sets The Finest Stack apart is its unique position at the intersection of style and soul. In a world where luxury often floats out of reach or feels emotionally vacant, this brand is a grounded reminder that beauty can be both high-end and high-empathy. It’s a quiet rebellion, a whispered invitation: tell your story, and do it in gold.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  855.  
  856. If you&#39;re ready to wear something that says more than “on trend,” explore jewelry with a story at &lt;a href=&quot;https://thefineststack.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;The Finest Stack&lt;/a&gt; or find your next signature piece on Instagram at &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/thefineststack/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;@thefineststack&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  857.  
  858. This summer belongs to meaningful jewelry, and The Finest Stack is how cool girls are wearing it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  859.  
  860. &lt;center&gt;
  861.  &lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoMIPPt5lRslbRbk9Alyi5ar0zQcQW8RsuiO-ZWR64J6odAQtvJMYKllMvpPjlw49XnVsLRn4olAY9XI9S5yp-FHAAf8Q0ejMn0_DVzWrTNwMICrcHQrsDcBnhkTB662HhhJHOitDpYqsCqBoeKayEOi7812_sRPyrQB6_oKEmQVv0syQ4fWfCJQVh8-Q/s1600/TheBeverlyWeekly-The-Finest-Stack4.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;The Finest Stack Jewelry&quot; style=&quot;width:100%;&quot;&gt;

  865.  
  866. &lt;h2&gt;Looking Ahead: A Mission-Driven Future&lt;/h2&gt;
  867.  
  868. The Finest Stack isn’t just about beautiful jewelry today—it’s a brand with its eyes on tomorrow. Founder Annika Thomas plans to expand beyond the online space, with physical retail pop-ups and in-person events that create real opportunities for connection. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  869.  
  870. Collaborations with creators, stylists, and mental wellness advocates are also on the horizon, with the goal of building an even stronger community around emotional healing and authenticity. Each new collection is envisioned as a fresh conversation, making sure the brand grows alongside its customers, always rooted in meaning, care, and real-life stories.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  877. &lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  878.  
  879.  
  880. There’s a moment—somewhere between the first mezcal spritz and the last disco-tinged beat at dawn—when time starts to blur and memory gets gilded. That’s the moment&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/corypaulmartin/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt; Cory Paul Martin&lt;/a&gt; lives for. And this year, he&#39;s orchestrating an entire weekend of them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  881.  
  882. Martin, the fashion model turned lifestyle curator, is no stranger to a statement-making celebration. But for his upcoming birthday, he’s dialing the volume down and the taste up, opting for intimacy over indulgence, Montauk over Mykonos, nuance over noise. &lt;i&gt;“We rented a house in Amagansett,”&lt;/i&gt; he says casually,&lt;i&gt; “and twelve of my closest friends are flying in.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  883.  
  884. &lt;center&gt;
  885.  &lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivF1qZkfsvCpvm61IvJQCOLAaPUKfF5y1LsYJbGZsPEv3GaSFpx2EDcw3Z18aVI5pRAYOfE23lOTnDGU0ZfBgervaxauk1aGlPaC5Oi4_jDruXie0z8LSTSgUEJtxswc7Fe8K6nt6YoN1DDJYsPC-agFKY8l2_w38nYO3KDCMlcUMnHW-Oli8Oo2ljCA/s1600/TheBeverlyWeekly-CoryPaulMartin-02.png&quot; alt=&quot;Cory Paul Martin&quot; style=&quot;width:100%;&quot;&gt;
  886. &lt;/center&gt;
  887. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Photography by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/byalbertsayegh?igsh=cGMwaG9razlxemlm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Albert Sayegh&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
  888. &lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  889.  
  890.  
  891. It’s classic Cory: stylish but never showy, high-touch but never high-maintenance. From fronting campaigns for luxury brands to front-row cameos at fashion week, the New York- and Mexico City–based model has parlayed his industry cachet into something far more personal—a quietly powerful brand built on connection, curation, and yes, the occasional perfectly timed party.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  892.  
  893. The centerpiece this year? A sunset-laced main event at Montauk’s Surf Lodge on June 1, hosted by nightlife icon Jayma Cardoso and powered by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/t.o.mezcal/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;TO Mezcal&lt;/a&gt;, the artisanal spirit Martin co-founded and now evangelizes with the kind of conviction usually reserved for first loves. DJs Hersh and Bora Uzer will spin. The dress code? &quot;East Coast ease with a touch of Euro flair. Think linen sets, salty hair, mezcal in hand,&quot; Martin says, with a grin that suggests he’s already packed the looks.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  894.  
  895. &lt;center&gt;
  896.  &lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ9R_CiPyEPVzIdfrWoXByG1bGIvPTU3yqph1ZIlCp10uN-A4XWz2bpJmwFRh3qkQRQN3ZTADoygpnduT5MSm0oBSscdlKW8EgpPcI6vZAv9UO_ejntFKsW6eCTIJqhxUQXI9lIZ7mvqqRsM0CiBGDxJmIWCslEXkr3SVXOTQHDgBJ5O9tpWLWcFiroQ/s1600/TheBeverlyWeekly-CoryPaulMartin-03.png&quot; alt=&quot;Cory Paul Martin&quot; style=&quot;width:100%;&quot;&gt;
  897. &lt;/center&gt;
  898. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Photography by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/byalbertsayegh?igsh=cGMwaG9razlxemlm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Albert Sayegh&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
  899. &lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  900.  
  901. There’s no costume party gimmick, no Pinterest board theme—just the natural cohesion of people who understand that style isn’t a dress code, it’s a frequency.&lt;i&gt; “It’s about evolving the vibe,”&lt;/i&gt; he says. &lt;i&gt;“Not topping the last one. This one’s going to be all love, all weekend.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  902.  
  903. And if past birthdays are any indication—boat-to-boat in Bodrum, full-moon madness in Tulum—“love” may also involve a whisper-only after-party, a mezcal-fueled dance floor, and a 4 a.m. beach moment no one dares film.
  904. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  905.  
  906.  
  907. &lt;center&gt;
  908.  &lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgxe6vfKsrXhofpgTUOMyPJPd7HY_Nx75VIT5AxJl2zAtMdmAX30AjbSj8bFhSL-GVenRRiFsxk4BFaPwLOnXZCHSH__xONdvjiw9L1F60NcQbSH3dx8ouZHyTPKjh_QhBQ4p-L-yjmkCuKjmqX1C3jEZQoBvlYSrfuzemM9qrN5XqmBdoLu9j1qexVw/s1600/TheBeverlyWeekly-CoryPaulMartin-04.png&quot; alt=&quot;Cory Paul Martin&quot; style=&quot;width:100%;&quot;&gt;
  909. &lt;/center&gt;
  910. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;Photography by &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/byalbertsayegh?igsh=cGMwaG9razlxemlm&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Albert Sayegh&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
  911. &lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  912.  
  913. For Martin, whose modeling work has long had an international edge, the birthday is less a party and more a ritual. &lt;i&gt;“It’s the alchemy of it all,”&lt;/i&gt; he says. &lt;i&gt;“The people, the setting, the playlist, the drinks—when each piece hits just right, that’s when the magic happens.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  914.  
  915. It’s a philosophy he’s poured—quite literally—into &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/t.o.mezcal/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;TO Mezcal&lt;/a&gt;, a passion project that now feels more like a lifestyle platform. &lt;i&gt;“It’s the first time I’ve had a job that lets me pour in everything I love: connection, celebration, travel, and good energy.”&lt;/i&gt; Naturally, TO will be woven into the Montauk weekend with custom cocktails and impromptu tastings.&lt;i&gt; “It’s not just a drink,” Martin says. “It’s the spirit of the party.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  916.  
  917. Lately, the man has been everywhere—Monaco, Tulum, Ibiza, Puglia. But it’s Costa Rica that left a dent in his soul. Hosted by his close friend Joe Cassidy, the trip was part Burning Man preview, part soul reset. “Grounding, wild, full of love,” he says. “&lt;i&gt;One of those trips that lingers.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  918.  
  919. He brings that same duality—earthbound and ecstatic—to his current orbit. He’s as likely to be barefoot at a beach rave as he is suited up on a red carpet. As connected to his rituals as he is to the runway. &lt;i&gt;“I don’t try to ‘stay grounded,’”&lt;/i&gt; he shrugs. &lt;i&gt;“I stay present.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  920.  
  921. That presence shows up in how he moves, how he builds community, and how he holds court without ever feeling like he’s performing. Ask him what inspires him right now and he doesn’t default to brands or buzzwords. &lt;i&gt;“My friends. The music we dance to. The places that remind us how big and beautiful life can be. The collective energy of everyone creating, evolving, celebrating.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  922.  
  923. It’s that balance—playful, poised, deeply personal—that defines the Cory Paul Martin brand. One that’s less about exclusivity and more about shared frequency. Less about hype, more about resonance.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  924.  
  925. So what’s next? He’s calling in big moves for &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/t.o.mezcal/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;TO Mezcal&lt;/a&gt;. He’s open to love that meets him where he’s going. He wants peace, and yes, a little mischief. &lt;i&gt;“It’s part of the fun,” &lt;/i&gt;he laughs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  926.  
  927. Come Sunday in Montauk, when the sky softens and the mezcal flows, don’t be surprised if you feel something shift. That’s not the ocean breeze. That’s Cory Paul Martin, making magic—again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  937. &lt;i&gt;Written by Daniel Fusch&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  938.  
  939. &lt;b&gt;Nusret Gökçe&lt;/b&gt;, the Turkish chef and restaurateur better known as Salt Bae, has seen his once-thriving U.S. restaurant empire take a significant hit with the abrupt closure of his Beverly Hills &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.nusr-et.com.tr/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Nusr-Et Steakhouse&lt;/a&gt; in June 2025. Famous for his theatrical salt-sprinkling technique that went viral in 2017, Gökçe’s chain, known for its gold-wrapped steaks and flamboyant dining experience, has dwindled from seven U.S. locations in 2023 to just two Miami and New York City by mid-2025. The closure of the Beverly Hills outpost, which opened in 2021, marks another chapter in the decline of Salt Bae’s American venture, compounded by a series of public relations controversies and operational missteps that have tarnished his brand’s allure.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  940.  
  941. &lt;h2&gt;A Meteoric Rise Fueled by Viral Fame&lt;/h2&gt;
  942.  
  943. Salt Bae’s ascent to &lt;b&gt;global fame began with a 2017 video showcasing his signature move&lt;/b&gt;: slicing a steak with precision and sprinkling salt from his flexed forearm in a cobra-like pose. The internet went wild, turning Gökçe into a meme and propelling his Nusr-Et Steakhouse chain into the spotlight. By 2023, Nusr-Et boasted seven U.S. locations, including high-profile spots in New York, Miami, Boston, Las Vegas, and Beverly Hills, where diners paid upwards of $1,500 for gold-foil-covered wagyu steaks. The chain’s theatrical presentation and celebrity clientele, including stars like Leonardo DiCaprio and David Beckham, made it a magnet for social media buzz. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  944. However, the spectacle that defined Salt Bae’s brand has not been enough to sustain its U.S. presence, as evidenced by the closure of five locations, including Las Vegas in early 2025 and now Beverly Hills.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  945.  
  946. &lt;h2&gt;A String of Controversies&lt;/h2&gt;
  947.  
  948. Gökçe’s empire has been plagued by legal and public relations scandals that have eroded its reputation. In 2019, former servers at Nusr-Et’s Manhattan location filed a class-action lawsuit, accusing Gökçe of tip-skimming allegedly withholding a portion of gratuities before distributing them to staff. The lawsuit was settled for $230,000, but it cast a shadow over the chain’s labor practices. In Miami, a similar lawsuit claimed that an 18% service charge was improperly shared with non-tipped staff, such as coffee makers and management, further fueling accusations of wage theft.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  949.  
  950. In 2021, five grillers who relocated from Turkey to work at Nusr-Et’s U.S. restaurants filed a lawsuit in Manhattan federal court, alleging they were misclassified as managers to avoid paying overtime wages despite working grueling 70- to 90-hour weeks. The suit, which claimed violations of the Fair Labor Standards Act, was dismissed, but it highlighted ongoing labor disputes. Employees also described an &lt;i&gt;“aggressive managerial style,”&lt;/i&gt; with Gökçe reportedly cursing at staff and fostering a toxic work environment.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  951.  
  952. Miller Ink a Beverly Hills Crisis Management Company ran by &lt;a href=&quot;https://miller-ink.com/crisis-communications/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;public relations expert Nathan Miller&lt;/a&gt; warns when a client is viral for one thing and then does something that is negative that the PR spicket is turned on and just as easy as you can gain great press you can garner negative press and be thrown into a crisis situation if you do something wrong. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  953.  
  954. Beyond labor issues, Gökçe’s public behavior has sparked backlash. In 2018, he &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reuters.com/article/world/venezuelans-outraged-by-maduros-steak-feast-at-salt-bae-restaurant-idUSKCN1LY02P/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;faced criticism for serving Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro&lt;/a&gt;, and in 2022, he was banned from the 2023 U.S. Open Cup after crashing the FIFA World Cup final in Qatar. Gökçe was photographed kissing and handling the World Cup trophy—an act reserved for players and heads of state—and pestering Argentine players, including Lionel Messi, for photos, prompting FIFA to investigate his unauthorized access to the pitch. These incidents, combined with accusations of serving overpriced and underwhelming food, have painted Gökçe as more showman than serious restaurateur.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  955.  
  956. &lt;h2&gt;The Decline of the U.S. Empire&lt;/h2&gt;
  957.  
  958. The closure of Nusr-Et’s Beverly Hills location on June 4, 2025, follows a pattern of retrenchment in the U.S. market. The Las Vegas outpost shuttered earlier in 2025, with plans to relocate elsewhere in the city, though no firm timeline has been announced. In 2023, Nusr-Et’s New York burger joint closed, and other locations in Boston, Dallas, and elsewhere have also vanished. Posts on X reflect a growing sentiment that Salt Bae’s restaurants, once packed with curious diners, are now struggling to fill tables, with some users citing a broader economic downturn as a factor. &lt;i&gt;“Salt Bae proved it. Viral elbow sprinkle, $1,200 steaks, celebrity selfies everywhere. The reviews said his restaurants were ‘overcooked and overpriced.’ A year later, reservations tanked,”&lt;/i&gt; wrote one user. Another bluntly called the Beverly Hills closure a &lt;i&gt;“recession indicator.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  959.  
  960. Critics have long questioned the quality of Nusr-Et’s offerings, with reviews describing the food as overpriced and mediocre compared to established steakhouses like Bavette’s in Las Vegas. The spectacle of gold-plated steaks and Salt Bae’s tableside theatrics may have drawn crowds initially, but the novelty appears to have worn off. Former employees have also alleged deceptive practices, such as lying about meat quality and serving leftover wine, further damaging the brand’s credibility.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  961.  
  962. &lt;h2&gt;What’s Next for Salt Bae?&lt;/h2&gt;
  963.  
  964. Despite the U.S. setbacks, Gökçe remains focused on &lt;b&gt;international expansion, with new Nusr-Et locations planned for Mexico City, Rome, and Ibiza&lt;/b&gt;. The chain’s COO told Restaurant Dive in 2023 that airports, such as Istanbul International, are also on the horizon for new ventures, signaling a shift away from the saturated U.S. market. Meanwhile, Gökçe’s lawyer has downplayed the controversies, noting that many lawsuits were settled and that the chain employs thousands globally, contributing to charitable efforts like providing meals after earthquakes in Turkey.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  965.  
  966. However, the decline of Nusr-Et in the U.S. underscores a broader lesson: viral fame and ostentatious branding can only carry a business so far. For Salt Bae, whose meteoric rise was built on a single memeable moment, sustaining a luxury dining empire has proven challenging in the face of labor disputes, PR missteps, and a crowded fine-dining landscape. As his golden steaks vanish from Beverly Hills, only time will tell if the remaining Miami and New York locations can weather the storm—or if Salt Bae’s American dream will continue to crumble.

This brand has now grown into a trusted name among tech users, developers, designers, IT professionals, military &amp; first responders, particularly those who sports Apple&#39;s largest, most rugged model, the Apple Watch Ultra.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  979.  
  980. The &lt;b&gt;Titanium Band T01&lt;/b&gt;, the best-selling product of &lt;b&gt;robustgoods.com&lt;/b&gt;, fulfilled the brand’s commitment to innovation and quality through the classic, stylish, lightweight, and comfortable design of watch bands. This product was launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, a challenging period worldwide. Robust overcame supply chain uncertainties through a lean operational strategy, customer feedback, and continual product refinement.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  981.  
  982. The pandemic created complex logistical challenges, like shipping delays, material shortages, and unpredictable demand fluctuations, but &lt;a href=&quot;https://robustgoods.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Robust&lt;/a&gt; overcame these hurdles without external funds., They employed agile practices to maintain inventory levels, optimize operations, and stay closely connected to their customer base for real-time insights and adjustments.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  983.  
  984. This innovation and high-quality Titanium Band T01 development journey was started in 2021 with an initial investment of &lt;b&gt;only $5,000&lt;/b&gt;. Despite the financial constraints, Robust&#39;s founder maintained a determined vision of creating everyday accessories combining style, practicality, and longevity, all rooted in a right-to-repair philosophy. This starting point was not easy because the brand faced typical startup struggles with their initial launch of wallets with AirTag holders. These initial products received only a few hundred orders, which taught the founder the complexities of e-commerce. However, these early lessons proved valuable for the subsequent launch of the Titanium Band T01.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  985.  
  986. Titanium Band T01 has aligned with 150K customers and become all-time bestseller of Robust since its launch due to its premium materials and design to complement the Apple Watch Ultra. The T01 made from Grade 2 titanium and features a unique scratch-resistant coating that combines superior durability with sleek aesthetics . The product meets the demands of professionals who need their accessories to perform under pressure and still look exceptional.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  987.  
  988. Titanium Band T01 always keeps its Customer feedback on first priority for innovation and creativity in products. After its initial success, the band performed enhancements based on user suggestions, which transitioned it from a brushed finish to one that closely matches the Apple Watch Ultra’s titanium case. The users feel comfortable and like the visual appeal of this wider, tapered, and lighter design at competitive and reasonable prices. Robust also introduced half-links for more precise adjustments, a feature not often found even in higher-priced competitor products.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  989.  
  990. One particularly significant example of customer-driven improvement involved the &lt;b&gt;Leather Strap R01&lt;/b&gt;, another bestseller in the Robust lineup. The Leather Strap R01, the current best seller, was featured with a more common design initially. According to the customer feedback, it didn&#39;t perfectly match the style and spirit of the Apple Watch Ultra. Users found that the strap looked out of place on the larger watch. Robust took this feedback to heart and redesigned the strap by drawing inspiration from classic designs intended for larger sports watches. The new design was thicker, wider, and more rugged in alignment with the aesthetic and functional expectations of Ultra wearers. This upgrade was immediately successful with additional refinements, such as switching from bright brushed stainless steel parts to match the gray titanium finish of the Ultra watch casing. Further improvements included upgrading the leather to vegetable-tanned Italian leather to provide enhanced comfort, better visual appeal, and durability that improves with age.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  991.  
  992. Robust always focuses on &lt;b&gt;durability, quality, and reparability as per customers&#39; lifestyle&lt;/b&gt;, who require visually appealing, durable, and practical accessories for daily use. Each product is designed to be repairable with a reflection of the brand’s commitment to innovation and sustainability in an industry.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  993.  
  994. Here are a few enthusiastic testimonials from everyday users who appreciate its quality and affordability of the Titanium Band T01. One satisfied customer shared his thoughts: &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  995.  
  996. I am a bandaholic.  There, I admit it!  &quot;&lt;i&gt;Since getting my Apple Watch Ultra, I&#39;ve been on a mission to get a collection of nice bands, which complement the uniqueness of the Ultra watch.  Without naming brands, I&#39;ve purchased a $300 Pure Titanium band and at least 3 Titanium bands from Amazon.  And here I am simply, utterly, gushing over this band from Robust, which is beyond affordable&quot;&lt;/i&gt;. Another customer highlighted: &lt;i&gt;&quot;To say it&#39;s simply awesome isn&#39;t accolade enough.  It comes decently packaged in a slide out tray.  The band was shrink wrapped in a very protective thick plastic.  The buckle was wrapped too.  Adjusting the band couldn&#39;t have been more simple.  They provide the pin tool and all you do is push it in the link hole and wiggle the link out.  My wrist is 7.25&quot; so I needed to remove two whole and one half link for the perfect fit.  Kudos to Robust for providing full and half links, which some more expensive bands don&#39;t offer.  For me and I suspect many others, the side of the band which connects to the bottom facing part of the watch, should have fewer links than the part which attaches to the top facing part of the watch.  This will usually ensure the buckle fits perfectly in the center of your wrist.&quot;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  997.  
  998. Another major factor behind Robust&#39;s success has been its careful alignment with the Apple Watch Ultra user community. Approximately 80% of Robust’s customers are Ultra users, predominantly men aged 30-50 who prioritize functionality, ruggedness, and a visually coherent look. Robust designs catering to this demographic with products that are visually and functionally aligned to their needs and preferences.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  999.  
  1000. Furthermore, Robust’s newest iteration, the Titanium Band Pro, represents a significant evolution that is totally based on user insights. This new model incorporates advanced features, like a magnetic clasp and DLC (Diamond-Like Carbon) scratch-resistant coating, for greater durability at a highly competitive price. Robust reputes as a brand that listens to its customers with each innovation it reinforces.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1001.  
  1002. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.instagram.com/robustgoods/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Robust&lt;/a&gt; envisions a future where it expands beyond Apple accessories to become a lifestyle brand, which offers products with enduring quality, thoughtful design, and innovative functionality. These plans include expanding into more small leather goods and providing watchbands for other watch brands. With a dedicated customer base growing rapidly each year, from 1,127 customers at the end of 2021 to over 101,000 by 2024, Robust is well on its way to becoming a leader in durable, stylish, and practical everyday gear.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  1012.  
  1013.  
  1014. Social media has long bombarded the world with fad diets and unregulated supplements. However, one of the latest viral trends, the use of &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK551568/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;GLP-1 agonists&lt;/a&gt;, rises above the hype and demonstrates proven weight reduction. Despite the new medication’s popularity and FDA approval, safe, medically supervised weight management remains critical.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1016. &lt;blockquote&gt;“We can’t think of weight loss medications, particularly GLP-1 receptor agonists like &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.ozempic.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Ozempic&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.wegovy.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Wegovy&lt;/a&gt;, as magic cures,” says Sergio Padron, founder and CEO of &lt;a href=&quot;https://mdexam.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;MD Exam&lt;/a&gt;. “When you use them, you should be under the supervision of a healthcare professional. In addition, their use should be part of a comprehensive weight loss plan.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1018. &lt;h2&gt;GLP-1s and weight management&lt;/h2&gt;
  1019.  
  1020. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/type-2-diabetes/expert-answers/byetta/faq-20057955&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;GLP-1 agonists&lt;/a&gt; are among the latest and most promising medical advances in weight management. Originally proposed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, this medication enhances insulin secretion by mimicking the effects of &lt;a href=&quot;https://abcnews.go.com/Health/DiabetesTreatment/story?id=3822229&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;incretins&lt;/a&gt;, natural hormones that help regulate the body’s blood sugar levels.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1022. When GLP-1 agonists hit the market, their additional potential as a weight loss intervention surfaced. The exact mechanism of how the medication contributes to weight loss is still under research, although it is clear that the drugs curb hunger and cause food to move more slowly from the stomach into the small intestine.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1024. Most people have heard of Ozempic and Wegovy by now. Each of these medications is a brand name for a GLP-1 agonist because they both contain the same active ingredient: semaglutide.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1026. In addition to these branded medications, compounded semaglutide is also an option. Compounding means that a pharmacist prepares a medication specifically tailored to the needs of an individual patient. This process can offer flexibility in dosages and formulations, but as expected, it necessitates an even greater level of medical oversight to ensure its safety and effectiveness.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1028. &lt;h2&gt;The benefits of medical supervision when using weight loss drugs&lt;/h2&gt;
  1029.  
  1030. The potential benefits of GLP-1 agonists are clear, but self-prescribing this medication or using it without supervision can lead to risks. Medical professionals should play a part in any program involving these weight-loss drugs for several reasons.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1032. First, experienced doctors have the expertise to create personalized treatment plans for each patient. Every individual’s weight loss journey is unique, and everyone brings a variety of existing health conditions and genetic predispositions to the table. These differences, along with varying lifestyle choices, all combine to determine the most effective treatment plan. As doctors provide personalized medical advice and adjust the dosage of GLP-1 agonists to suit each patient&#39;s specific needs, they ensure safety and maximize the drugs&#39; efficacy.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1034. In addition to personalization, continuous supervision allows professionals to monitor progress and make timely adjustments to a patient’s treatment. Given their effect on metabolic processes, this is crucial when using potent medications like GLP-1 agonists. Like any medication, GLP-1 agonists can cause side effects, and medical supervision enables doctors to address any adverse reactions quickly.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1036. Finally, physicians guide their patients in incorporating weight loss drugs into a broader strategy. Their comprehensive approach combines medication with lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1038. &lt;blockquote&gt;“The medications we use in MD Exam’s weight loss programs have one main goal,” explains Padron. “They allow our patients to feel full faster and eat less food. When patients combine this benefit with better exercise and dieting habits, they can lose weight at a healthy pace.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1040. &lt;h2&gt;MD Exam&#39;s medically supervised programs&lt;/h2&gt;
  1041.  
  1042. MD Exam offers a scientifically backed approach that combines GLP-1 agonists and other weight loss drugs with personalized medical support. Expert physicians assess patients’ needs and help them choose from a range of effective weight loss programs.
  1044. MD Exam’s Game Changer program centers around the Semaglutide drug Wegovy. Patients can access the medication as a weekly injection or an oral tablet.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1046. For individuals requiring more substantial assistance, the Ultimate program introduces Tirzepatide, which enhances appetite suppression by combining the effects of GLP-1s with GIPs.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1048. &lt;h2&gt;Scientifically validated and safety-assured&lt;/h2&gt;
  1049.  
  1050. The drugs used in MD Exam’s programs have undergone rigorous clinical trials and are &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-approves-new-drug-treatment-chronic-weight-management-first-2014&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;FDA-approved&lt;/a&gt;. Unlike unverified weight loss trends, these medications are grounded in scientific research.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1052. GLP-1 agonists offer exciting hope as part of a comprehensive weight-management strategy. However, medical professionals must guide this new approach to treating obesity. Their involvement can ensure the safe and effective use of these powerful drugs, aligning treatment plans with each patient&#39;s unique health profile. With medical supervision, the potential of GLP-1 agonists can be harnessed fully, offering a sustainable path to weight loss and overall well-being.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1054. &lt;blockquote&gt;“Our patients report losing 10 to 20 pounds in just weeks, not months,” concludes Padron. “Best of all, we equip our patients with the support and guidance they need to achieve long-term success. By combining  expert coaching support from the MD Exam team with the latest advances in weight loss medication, we empower patients to experience incredible breakthroughs in their weight loss journey.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  1058. &lt;/center&gt;
  1059. &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:small;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;
  1060. &lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1061.  
  1062. &lt;i&gt;Written by William Jones&lt;/i&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1063.  
  1064. By all accounts, it should be easier than ever to fund a business. Capital is abundant, interest rates fluctuate with precision, and financial technology has transformed how money moves. And yet, ask any high-growth entrepreneur trying to scale, and they will tell you the same thing: funding remains one of the most painful, outdated, and inequitable parts of the entrepreneurial journey.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1065.  
  1066. Traditional business lending is still weighed down by legacy systems, institutional gatekeeping, and rigid credit models within an era that champions agility and innovation. For the modern entrepreneur, especially those operating fast-scaling, service-based, or bootstrapped ventures, the conventional funding path is inefficient and fundamentally broken.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1067.  
  1068. This gap between capital availability and capital access is the space where &lt;a href=&quot;https://emperiocapital.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Emperio Capital&lt;/a&gt; has emerged as a lender and strategic capital partner that reshapes the funding playbook.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1069.  
  1070. Most banks and legacy lenders still operate on risk models designed decades ago. They rely on tax returns, credit scores, and profit-and-loss statements, indicators that tell the story of the past, not the potential of the future. For rapidly growing businesses, especially which reinvest revenue and operate on lean margins, this creates a catch-22: They need capital to scale, but lack the retroactive indicators banks require.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1071.  
  1072. Worse, the timeline for approval and disbursement is out of sync with entrepreneurial velocity. Traditional funding processes often take weeks or even months, which requires exhaustive documentation, repeated calls, and institutional&lt;i&gt; “review periods.”&lt;/i&gt; For the business owner trying to meet market demand, execute on a major contract, or capture sea sonal momentum, this timeline is inconvenient and a dealbreaker.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1073.  
  1074. &lt;b&gt;Venture capital&lt;/b&gt; is out of reach for most startups. Without elite metrics or Silicon Valley connections, many founders can’t access VC funds. Those who do often sacrifice control for growth. Emperio Capital presents a fundamentally different path.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1075.  
  1076. Founded by seasoned entrepreneurs &lt;b&gt;Joshua Velazquez&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;Chase Alley&lt;/b&gt;, Emperio Capital was born not from theory, but from necessity. Velazquez and Alley experienced the frustration of navigating traditional funding channels during the launch and exit of companies across ecommerce, logistics, and international distribution. They saw a glaring need for a system designed for builders.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1077.  
  1078. Emperio’s core proposition is deceptively simple: get capital to capable business owners faster, smarter, and without unnecessary friction. But the execution is anything but ordinary.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1079.  
  1080. Unlike banks, Emperio delivers unsecured capital access in days, not weeks, with most clients seeing funding options within 24 to 72 hours. There is no need for tax returns, profit-and-loss statements, or even collateral. Instead, Emperio evaluates businesses based on behavioral and operational data, such as cash flow patterns, transaction consistency, and sector-specific growth potential.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1081.  
  1082. This approach allows Emperio to serve what it calls the “underfunded middle” of American business: the scrappy, smart entrepreneurs who are too real for banks and too early for VCs. Whether it is a contractor looking to scale operations, a consultant launching a new service tier, or a direct-to-consumer brand chasing demand, these businesses thrive on speed, and Emperio is engineered to deliver it .&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1083.  
  1084. To date, &lt;b&gt;Emperio Capital has structured over $100M in funding pipelines for clients across dozens of industries&lt;/b&gt;, including e-commerce, SaaS, coaching, construction, and home services. What truly sets Emperio apart is just how quickly it delivers funding and how intelligently that funding is structured. The company does not think of capital as a transaction; it views it as a tool of leverage.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1085.  
  1086. Using a proprietary vetting and structuring model, Emperio builds custom capital stacks that are tailored to each business’s goals, lifecycle stage, and liquidity needs. From bridge rounds to long-term growth strategies, Emperio helps clients map funding against vision and velocity, rather than generic lending templates.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1087.  
  1088. For example, a scaling coaching brand might leverage Emperio Capital to pre-purchase ad inventory for a major campaign launch, knowing the cash flow return will materialize within 60 days. A construction business might use strategic debt to expand its team and equipment fleet within a time frame for a multi-site contract, with repayment aligned to project milestones.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1089.  
  1090. This precision in structuring protects liquidity and outperforms conventional lending by 3–5X in speed and flexibility.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1091.  
  1092. Emperio uniquely bridges the gap between fintech automation and algorithmic lending by occupying a rare strategic position in the industry. Its systems are tech-enabled, and decisions are relationship-driven.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1093.  
  1094. Rather than relying solely on credit bots or automated filters, Emperio combines behavioral underwriting with human intelligence. Every deal is reviewed by professionals and structured by seasoned funding advisors that create a high-approval, growth-focused capital experience.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;

  1110. &lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1111.  
  1112. &lt;h2&gt;Demi Lovato Marries Jordan Lutes in California Wearing Two Vivienne Westwood Gowns&lt;/h2&gt;
  1113.  
  1114. &lt;b&gt;Demi Lovato is officially a married woman&lt;/b&gt;. The singer and actress tied the knot with fiancé &lt;b&gt;Jordan “Jutes” Lutes&lt;/b&gt; in an intimate ceremony held in California on Sunday, May 25, 2025. The couple, who began dating in 2022 and got engaged late last year, celebrated their love surrounded by close family and friends.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1115.  
  1116. The wedding took place at approximately 4 p.m. local time, followed by a romantic reception that capped off a weekend of celebration, including a rehearsal dinner the night before. The mood was classic, heartfelt, and unmistakably “Demi”—full of elegance and personal touches.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1117.  
  1118. &lt;h2&gt;Two Vivienne Westwood Gowns Steal the Spotlight&lt;/h2&gt;
  1119.  
  1120. For the ceremony, Demi wore a breathtaking white &lt;b&gt;Vivienne Westwood dress&lt;/b&gt;, featuring a structured corset and a dramatic cathedral-style ivory tulle veil. The ensemble was timeless, yet modern—perfectly reflecting Demi’s iconic style and the designer&#39;s flair for strong silhouettes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1121.  
  1122. &lt;i&gt;“I love everything about the dress,”&lt;/i&gt; she told Vogue, reflecting on the first look. “When I was thinking about [what dress style I wanted] I often found myself coming back to Vivienne’s designs—specifically how the silhouettes really compliment the curves in your body, and her use of corsets.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1123.  
  1124. Later in the evening, Demi changed into a second Westwood creation: a strapless gown adorned with delicate pearl beading. Each strand of pearls was hand-draped, making the gown truly one-of-a-kind. &lt;i&gt;“The pearl detail and draping is such a special element… it makes me feel so special,”&lt;/i&gt; she shared.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1125.  
  1126. &lt;center&gt;
  1127.  &lt;img src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0WylSpcjK5g0a_w5wgylGB1_RL-K_XfZjp0LvfdC5LJEaXOFBEyN146Fa7GIqJJid3DzpkrLY2DCvFU3rP0dLcVWJr0vsNMRBpL1vtWD2XxwxLwzl0slpCNGaD10HR-To5_2H5LjG1ibDRT7tSFP6kq4yQbiNDW8pnQb08Yy0RGkmtik_1chcg6EC6g/s1600/BeverlyWeekly-DemiLovato-02.webp&quot; alt=&quot;Demi Lovato Marries Jordan Lutes&quot; style=&quot;width:100%;&quot;&gt;
  1128. &lt;/center&gt;
  1129. &lt;hr/&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1130.  
  1131. &lt;h2&gt;A Love Story That Feels Like Fate&lt;/h2&gt;
  1132.  
  1133. Demi and Jordan’s relationship began in 2022, and their connection quickly blossomed into something deeply meaningful. In a previous interview with PEOPLE, Demi described Jordan as her soulmate. “You know, I’ve waited my whole life for him,” she said. “It’s very grounding to have a partner that is so supportive, so loving, so caring.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1134.  
  1135. Their engagement took place just before Christmas in 2023, and Demi has since expressed joy and excitement about their future together. On Valentine’s Day this year, she wrote in an Instagram post: “Jordan, I cannot WAIT to marry you!! The past 3 years have been the best 3 years of my life and I have you to thank for that… I can’t wait to grow old with you and start a family together.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1136.  
  1137. &lt;h2&gt;A Modern Fairytale with Heart&lt;/h2&gt;
  1138.  
  1139. The wedding marked not just the union of two artists, but of two souls committed to growth, love, and mutual support. In an era where celebrity weddings often chase spectacle, Demi and Jordan’s celebration stood out for its authenticity and heart.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;
  1140.  
  1141. From hand-beaded couture to heartfelt vows, every detail spoke to a couple grounded in love—and ready for the next chapter.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.beverlyweekly.com/feeds/8382322064312088581/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.beverlyweekly.com/2025/05/demi-lovato-wedding-vivienne-westwood-jordan-lutes.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/4289438547682685400/posts/default/8382322064312088581'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/4289438547682685400/posts/default/8382322064312088581'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.beverlyweekly.com/2025/05/demi-lovato-wedding-vivienne-westwood-jordan-lutes.html' title='Demi Lovato Marries Jordan Lutes in California Ceremony Wearing Custom Vivienne Westwood Gowns'/><author><name>Unknown</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbhwKy6K1JdODb1rL04g24Loa_11sWljD-SXYe-y4OJzVJ5FI7CfIc9GKKUcEpuUdhHobV51pG3al20KNWuXVtIJj90Ly44fOftrdsAZOcn04PPgVz8qpJO89-pgzZpUzjp-h4cpIoX3kR8caClO0vItxvmp9AMYCCnEmTD2zaLZJvfoO2ndNApxYAlw/s72-c/BeverlyWeekly-DemiLovato-01.webp" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
