Yuko Yamaguchi is stepping down after 46 years as the designer of Hello Kitty, the iconic character she helped steer to global fame. Yamaguchi took over design duties in 1980 — five years after Hello Kitty’s debut — and during her four‑plus decades in the role the feline figure (officially described as a little girl from London, not a cat) grew from a Japan‑only hit into one of the world’s most lucrative franchises.

In his 23rd season, the longest career in NBA history, LeBron James continues to pile up triple‑doubles — this time against the Dallas Mavericks and, more metaphorically, Father Time. James became the oldest player to record a triple‑double on Thursday at 41 years and 44 days, doing so in the Los Angeles Lakers’ 124‑104 win over the Mavs. He finished with 28 points and 12 assists, securing his 10th rebound with 2:06 remaining. The crowd gave him a standing ovation when he left the game, celebrating his 123rd career triple‑double — the fifth‑most in NBA history.

Nick Jonas recently revealed that the only thing he worried about on his wedding day had nothing to do with marrying Priyanka Chopra Jonas.

Appearing on the Feb. 4 episode of Jay Shetty's On Purpose podcast, the 33 year old singer took part in a segment called "What Would Your Wife Say?" The game challenges guests to predict how their spouse would respond to certain questions. When asked what Priyanka would say he was most nervous about on their wedding day, Nick first responded that he was not anxious about anything. After a brief pause, however, he remembered one concern.

According to Nick, the weather was extremely hot during their celebrations in India. He admitted that his main worry was sweating too much and not looking his best. He said he was concerned the heat would leave him drenched and appearing flustered in front of guests.

Michelle Yeoh is still processing the Academy's decision to leave Wicked: For Good off this year's nominations list.

"I'm not surprised, I am in shock," the Oscar winner said in a new interview with Variety while attending the 76th Berlin International Film Festival, where she received an honorary award. "It's such a beautiful, well-made movie. I was truly, truly very disappointed."

The sequel to 2024's Wicked arrived in theaters in November 2025 with high expectations. The first film earned 10 nominations at the Academy Awards and won for Best Costume Design and Best Production Design. But when nominations for the 98th ceremony were announced on Jan. 22, the follow-up was nowhere to be found.

Yeoh, 63, reprised her role as Madame Morrible in the second installment, directed by Jon M. Chu. She suggested that the original film's awards success may have worked against the sequel.

"Sometimes people think, 'Oh, you already got so much with the first one, let others have a chance,'" she said. "But it's not a replica. It's more elaborate. There are so many new destinations in Wicked: For Good."

American model and reality TV star Kimora Lee Simmons is reportedly locked in a legal battle over a luxury Beverly Hills mansion allegedly purchased with embezzled money by her estranged husband, Tim Leissner.

According to court filings, the seven-bedroom estate — located in Beverly Hills — was bought in 2017 using funds stolen from Malaysia’s sovereign wealth fund, 1MDB, Daily Mail reported.
