Diddy is suing the co-owner of his tequila for racial discrimination

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:01:57 GMT

New York (CNN) — Sean “Diddy” Combs is suing Diageo for racial discrimination, claiming that the spirits company that produces DeLeón — the tequila he co-owns with the company — failed to market DeLeón on par with its other brands, including Don Julio and George Clooney’s Casamigos brands.In a lawsuit, filed Wednesday, Combs said that Diageo “kneecapped DeLeon’s sales growth for nearly a decade” because the company considered it a “Black” brand and marketed it to only “urban customers.” The suit also alleges that Diageo also neglected marketing for Ciroc, Diddy’s vodka brand he also co-owns with the company.Tequila sales have grown in the United States in recent years, according to data from Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. However, Combs said that his tequila brand hasn’t benefited from the same growth as Casamigos or other tequilas. He said following Diageo’s 2017 acquisition of Casamigos, the company “effectively abandoned” Diddy’s brands and didn’t give them the s...

The average wedding just hit $29,000

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:01:57 GMT

New York (CNN) — Weddings are back, in full force. That’s the good news. But engaged couples will pay a tad more to get hitched in 2023.The average cost of a wedding, nationally, this year is $29,000, up $1,000 from 2022, according to online wedding planning site Zola. And in some big US cities, the cost is $35,000 and above.The price tag for a happily-ever-after day is higher year-over-year for two reasons, said Zola – inflation and demand exceeding supply of wedding related goods and services. “Wedding industry vendors have had to raise their rates because they’re also paying more for goods and services like food, flowers and labor,” Emily Forrest, Zola’s director of communications, told CNN.Weddings started roaring back from a pandemic-triggered halt to all kinds of celebrations in 2022, and, ever since, the industry has seen a surge in demands for venues, photographers, wedding planners, florists and wedding cakes. Add to that a Gen-Z era desire for very customized wedding...

US envoy’s tongue-lashing of South Africa over alleged Russian weapons shipments infuriates Biden administration

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:01:57 GMT

The Biden administration is furious with its ambassador to South Africa and scrambling to salvage relations with the country after the envoy alleged that Pretoria sent a ship filled with weapons to Russia as it wages war on Ukraine.The ambassador, Reuben Brigety, made the claim three weeks ago in a press briefing, saying he’d “bet my life” on it. He added that South Africa was engaging in “outrageous” anti-Americanism and questioned its claim to be neutral among the world powers.It was a shocking assertion by an American official against a country that the United States has been trying to court in the global effort to isolate Russia.Brigety’s actions thrilled some observers who say the U.S. needs to be more honest about a South African drift toward Moscow; his defenders include top U.S. senators. But multiple U.S. officials told POLITICO that Brigety’s accusations were overstated and he may have damaged American interests in the long run.Publicly, the administration has tried to wal...

Restaurant review: Léopold Café Presse

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:01:57 GMT

Rue de la Loi, 17What’s good? Brilliant lunchtime quinoa bowls and bagels are Léopold’s top attraction. My go-to selection is the chicken avocado bowl, which comes on a bed of quinoa and salad with tangy dressing, and includes crunchy pomegranate seeds, chicken topped with melted cheese and delicious mashed avocado. It’s both filling and healthy. Occasionally the chicken can be a little tough, but that’s a minor quibble.Léopold has a great selection of tasty wraps and salads, taking in a globe-spanning variety of cuisines. The cookies, cakes and drinks are all high quality too — particularly the velvet-rich hot chocolate. What’s not? An occasional overpowering smell of truffle oil, which seems to have become inescapable in 2023; and erotic-themed Tintin parody graphic novels, once not so subtly placed directly above the food counter. No one needs to see Bianca Castafiore in a state of undress alongside their lunch order. Vibe: Colorful Belgian comic...
