VENICE IS ON: The show really must go on. The international Venice Film Festival will take place as scheduled and as a physical event, running Sept. 2 to 12.
On Monday, a spokesperson confirmed the event will run in the Italian city as planned, following media reports on Sunday that Veneto’s governor Luca Zaia was giving the green light to the event. As reported last month, a decision was expected at the end of May. By contrast, the Architecture and Arts Biennale exhibitions have been postponed to 2021 and 2022.
As reported by Variety, which as WWD is owned by Penske Media Corporation, after surveying a wide range of film industry executives in early May to ask for concerns and suggestions about the upcoming edition, the festival’s artistic director Alberto Barbera stated: “We know that it would be simply impossible to plan a festival without knowing if you all are willing to use the festival to give a new start and a strong sign for keeping cinema alive, even in these difficult times.” Barbera also asked producers and sales agents about “the concrete possibility of bringing (talent) to accompany the invited films.”

Italy has been hard hit by the coronavirus pandemic, reporting 32,785

With a career spanning three decades, Naomi Campbell has cemented herself in the cultural lexicon as one of the most iconic supermodels.
Campbell, who turns 50 today, began her career in the late Eighties, walking the runways of virtually every major fashion designer where she’s produced several memorable catwalk moments that are still talked about to this day.

Today, Campbell still makes the occasional runway appearance, but keeps them a secret until she steps foot on the catwalk. In a 2019 YouTube video, Campbell stated: “I prefer nowadays when I do shows, I don’t tell anybody. I just appear because I don’t want the pressure. You know, anything can happen.”
Campbell views every runway and designer look differently when taking the runway.
“It’s never been about showing myself,” she said in another YouTube video. “It’s about finding a character within myself to each designer that I work for in relation to the outfit that I’m

Jeffree Star, one of the world’s biggest beauty influencers, has responded to the backlash he’s faced for his upcoming “Cremated” makeup collection.
The beauty vlogger and brand founder posted a 20-minute video on his YouTube channel Wednesday talking about his namesake beauty brand’s upcoming eye shadow palette, called the Cremated Palette, which has been met with criticism over its insensitive theme amid the coronavirus crisis.
“Nothing ever comes from a bad place, so if you were thinking that, absolutely not,” he said in the video while sporting a gothic-themed makeup look created from the palette. “My brand, I created this to make people smile. I created a brand for all the weirdos and the people that didn’t really feel like they fit in, so in no way was this created to be offensive ever.”

Lori Loughlin and Mossimo Giannulli have pleaded guilty in their connection to the college admissions scandal.
The “Full House” actress and the fashion designer are pleading guilty to conspiracy charges, with Loughlin pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud and Giannulli pleading guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud and honest services wire and mail fraud, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the District of Massachusetts.
Loughlin was sentenced to two months in prison plus a $150,000 fine and two years of supervised release with 100 hours of community service. Giannulli was sentenced to five months in prison, a $250,000 fine and two years of supervised release with 250 hours of community service.
Loughlin and Giannulli made headlines last year when news broke that the couple — in addition to 14 other parents, including actress Felicity Huffman — were involved in a bribery scheme where they allegedly paid $500,000 to get their daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Giannulli, admitted to the University of Southern California as crew recruits even though neither rowed crew.
The couple was charged with multiple counts of conspiracy, including mail fraud, wire fraud, honest services fraud and money
