This week, we're...
Brunch|September 21, 2024
Princess Mahra Bint Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum of Dubai had enough of her husband’s philandering. She divorced him in July via Instagram.
This week, we're...

Sniffing freedom.

Her follow-up act is… so Dubai! She’s come out with a perfume called Divorce. It’s $272 a bottle. Guess all divorces are expensive.

Learning oui failed.

How come Emily’s been in Paris for 40 episodes but hasn’t learnt more than merci beaucoup? Gabriel, in a fight with her at the end of S4, drops possibly the show’s deepest line: “We only communicate in your language, not mine”. Heartbreaking. We’d have loved to see Emily struggle with verb conjugation, honestly.

Getting FOMO.

Arijit Singh called Ed Sheeran on stage at his concert in London, recently. Lizzo had Cardi B, Sza and Missy Elliott at her US tour last November. Diljit Dosanjh will soon perform in Delhi. But we don’t have high hopes. We’ll never see collabs as cool as the ones they have in the West. Boo!

Saved by ’90s music.
