✶ YN FEBRUARY6 ─── a look into y/n's solo projects and schedules over the years since 2018.

✶ FEBRUARY6 ─── y/n made her official voice acting debut in 2020 in ' final fantasy vii remake ' with voice both the japanese and english voices to the popular character eileen. the news of the idol starring in the anticipated remake would come as a surprise to many fans of the both ateez and final fantasy vii. many non k-pop fans would criticize square enix for hiring a " random k-pop idol " ; however, y/n would seemingly show that she wasn't just that as she expressed having been a fan of the series since she was in elementary school. after the release of the game, y/n would receive praise for her voice acting skills especially since this was the idol's first time voice acting.

y/n would also be credited for providing the vocals of eileen's theme song and would return to voice the character in the 2024 sequel " final fantasy vii rebirth "

✶ FEBRUARY6 ─── y/n made her official acting debut in 2021 with the netflix thriller drama titled ' gothel ' which also featured fellow member wooyoung. y/n took the lead role in the drama and was heavily praised for her acting and the wide range of emotions she was able to display. many atiny are hoping for y/n to return to acting sometime in the future.

✶ FEBRUARY6 ─── in july 2023, an indie game developer named salt would release a demo for their game and would immediately gain attention as the main character shared a similar resemblance to y/n. salt would reveal that they were a large fan of the female idol and knew when they began making the game that they wanted to model the main character after y/n. they also revealed how they would love for y/n to sing the game's main theme.

fans of both the game and ateez would begin to send messages to ateez's official accounts and even on fromm to get y/n's attention. atiny had no idea if y/n and kq had seen their attempts to help salt and their game be recognized. that is until y/n sent several messages on fromm letting know fans that she had seen their messages and was currently talking to the company about it. about a year later, when the game was fully released in august 2024, players were treated to the game's main theme ' death anniversary ' sung by y/n.

This quote from FvF Director James Mangold can be added to the one you posted:

“Whatever had been said to me before I met Caitríona — ‘She’s in this hot TV show, huge following, former model’ — this is often the kind of thing that turns me off. But what I was confronted with was a simply remarkable actress—present, fearless, emotionally vulnerable, and smart.” - James Mangold, Director FvF

Thanks for the message, Anon. 😃 Your Mangold quote is from Vanity Fair and follows Brian’s recent post with video of Jamie Dornan’s and Orlando Bloom’s, and a tweet screenshot of Mangold’s, talking about working with Caitríona.

James Mangold and Caitríona Balfe attend the Le Mans ‘66 /Ford v Ferrari premiere at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival at Roy Thomson Hall on 9 September 2019 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Thanks for your message, Anon. 😃

What do I think “based on reviews in everything she's done in and outside Outlander?” 😂 How To Attract Unwanted Attention Without Really Trying…

I think Caitríona will be just fine, regardless of her age (45 in October) and Outlander’s ending (filming in the next few weeks, Season 8 promotion sometime before 2030…).

It’s nice to step into the unknown and see what the possibilities might be. — Caitriona Balfe, 6 September 2024

Video 📹 from Twitter

I’d argue if every other role is typecasting, every other role is something different. 😉

Let’s look at her work released since Outlander premiered in August 2014, supportive wife/mother wise:

2015 The Price of Desire ❌

2016 Money Monster ❌

2019 Le Mans ‘66/Ford v Ferrari ✔️

2019 The Dark Crystal: The Age of Resistance ❌

2019 The Christmas Letter ❌/✔️

2020 Angela’s Christmas Wish ✔️

2021 Belfast ✔️

2024 The Cut ✔️/❌

2025 The Amateur TBA*

*Will she play the murdered wife? An American CIA agent or diplomat? A foreign agent or assassin? The Amateur’s version of Mrs Kravitz? 🤷🏻‍♂️ What we do know is she had her own dialect coach who is “passionate about coaching accents,” and, according to someone who attended the film’s screening in Pasadena last month, “(Caitríona’s) talent and range is bigger than anything we’ve seen.”

Does she have something bigger than small parts lined up?

As you mentioned, she typically doesn’t talk about, much less name, a project until it’s announced officially. 🍿🍿🍿

I think she’ll be offered roles, big and small, and do only what appeals to her and suits her family’s** lifestyle. She still owns the rights to Here Is The Beehive and now has some experience directing. She’ll never be bored, between time spent enjoying her family** and her interest in travel, art, music, film, fashion, literature, sports, and people.

**her actual family

You didn’t ask, but I’ll offer my humble opinion, just the same. I don’t think they’ll move abroad, regardless of her having lived for several years in New York and Los Angeles. Her and Tony’s parents, siblings, nieces, and nephews all live in Ireland and the UK. As she and Tony have done for years, I see their staying abroad for long periods during filming, but not setting up a permanent residence. I think they’ll continue to make their home and raise their son in Ireland/UK… JMHO.

Remember… as long as I keep getting cast, I don't care if it's typecast. — Chris Pratt

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ THE COLD WAR RETURNS: ON THE BIGGEST RED CARPET IN THE WORLD.

written by EnVieOus

The Met Gala, taking place the first Monday of May each year, is undoubtedly one of the most watched events of the year in the realm of the filthy rich and those finely attuned in to the lives of celebrities. Celebrated in New York City and hosted by international phenomenon Vogue Magazine, recent years of the event have seen more and more internationally recognized celebrities welcomed to grace the number one red carpet of the fashion world, something that gives us Kpop fans a reason to cheer. While a swath of idols were seen at this year's gala, 3 that never fail to catch my eye were La Vie's Anya, Star, and Mari.

from left to right: Anya Na in custom YSL, Star Shinawatra in custom YSL, Mari Bang in Schiaparelli haute couture '21

Anya and Star both stunned in custom Yves Saint Laurent, unsurprising from the luxury brand's princess and her closest confidant. While this was Star's debut at the Met, this is the third year in a row that Anya has been invited by the designer house.

However, Lovies were left with plenty of questions when the group's maknae Mari arrived later than the former two in a striking yet conflicting outfit by Schiaparelli. Although the three only briefly passed on the carpet, no acknowledgments were shared.

To older fans, this icy greeting is hardly news. Its been recently made clear that tensions between La Vie and their maknae have been raised ever since she first made her solo debut in the American music industry back in 2021. Some fans had bashed the idol for "abandoning" the group to focus on western fame and validation.

Lovies were led to believe that things were on the mend between them all when Mari returned to the group for their most recent comeback celebrating the group's 7th year anniversary, making it the first OT6 comeback in nearly 2 years. The group released a 2 hour long documentary highlighting the group's history and the album's making which had an emotional segment on Mari's absence, how it had effected the group's dynamic, and her intentions to right any wrongs in the hearts of her members and her fans. It was all very touching.

And yet, almost a year later, we are seeing the conflict back in full swing. 4 days before the Gala, La Vie posted a teaser for their newest comeback to all of the group's socials. The teaser very notably only featuring 5 of the members (missing Mari once again), much to the disappointment of hopeful Lovies everywhere.

"Teaser ; White Swan" posted to La Vie socials on May 2, 2024

While this in itself stirred up controversy, nothing would compare to the shitstorm that arose when 2 days later, Mari dropped a teaser for her newest single, set to release only a week after the rest of the group's mini album.

Teaser posted on May 4, 2024 to Mari's Instagram, @ maribang, captioned " ugh, what a b!! SOMETHING NEW COMING TO U JUNE 4TH "

Fans and netizens have conveyed a wide range of emotions the past few days, from outrage to disappointment to jumping for joy, and this most recent interaction (or lack thereof) has only added to the overflowing dramatics of the public's opinion. Calls for Mari's official removal from the group have only increased since her apparent cold shoulder on the carpet. Some are blaming conflict between Rainbow Entertainment and MGM, Mari's record label in America, for the issues, fruitlessly arguing that the girls would never want to treat each other so coldly of their own accord.

After years of this drama, the people are beginning to demand answers, but the radio silence on both ends continues. Was it simply an accident, where one didn't see the other? Or a blatant cold shoulder between former best friends?

Let us know what YOU think here !

This left a mark: Christian Dior & Saks partnered for Light up the NYC Night for Christmas 2023

No doubt "DIOR Contract" was at the top of the 2017 RMM- DIANA 2.0 vision board & megxit manifesto. In other words: Sparry's 'honey do' for MeMe list: Meet Beyonce (on yellow carpet)✔ Disney (princess) gig✔. oh to be a fly on a Cali wall after that Dior ANNOUNCEMENT: guttural moans & tears for weeks! 😬

Dior in 2018: MEgain's inappropriate Dior cocktail dress w/pinwheel headpiece for 1st balcony appearance. She also appeared to lose a tooth during the reception.

2021 & 2022 New York City

2022 Jubilee as Wallis Simpson & 2023 Sparry

A word to the wise and to the Meghans: The REAL Santa knows whose on the MARKLED List.

Play stupid games and MARKLE yourselves!

I'll buy that Jill Smoller (formerly Gina) badgered Dior on behalf of MEgain, but no way would Dior sully their brand with the toxic, mentally unstable, over seas royals who can't be bothered to iron 🙄

"Oh & I took FRENCH for 8 years in high school or was it 4 years?" 😉

"...but but I'm not a model, I'm just a mom. Thankfully Sparry was here to coach me that I can be both. I wonder how he became so wise?" Variety 2022

The Sun: What is the history between Dior and the royal family?

December 12, 2023 || Born in 1905, Christian Dior, the fashion designer, climbed the ranks of several Parisian fashion houses before establishing his own establishment in 1946.

One of the early royal admirers of the designer was Princess Margaret, the sister of Queen Elizabeth II.

She became a client of the fashion house and one of Dior's most famous designs, the "Margaret Dress," was named after her.

Queen Elizabeth II also shared a close connection with Dior.

She appointed Doir to design her Coronation gown for the crowning ceremony in 1953.

The gown, famously called the "Hartnell Dress," was a collaboration between Dior and British couturier Sir Norman Hartnell.

Over the years, various royal family members have continued to wear Dior creations for public appearances.

Dior dressed Prince Harry for King Charles' coronation in May 2023 - as the royal forwent wearing a military uniform. 

Shortly after the coronation ceremony, Dior took to its social media to reveal Kim Jones was the designer behind the suit. 

"Tailoring fit for royalty. Dior is honoured to have dressed Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, for the coronation of King Charles III in a custom design by Kim Jones," the brand wrote on Instagram.

"Seen arriving at Westminster Abbey, gain an insight into the savoir-faire of his three-piece suit next," it added. 

Why was it speculated that Meghan Markle would have a deal with Dior?

In June 2023, it was reported that Meghan was in talks about taking on a deal with Dior.

Following the cancellation of her Spotify podcast after just one season, there was widespread speculation that the Duchess of Sussex was poised for a new role with the French fashion house.

Meghan has worn Dior several times throughout her time as a working royal, including at the late Queen Elizabeth's funeral in September 2022.

However, sources close to the Royals said no contract had been inked.

Dior also expressed its surprise and confusion when the idea of a deal was initially brought up.

A source told the Telegraph: "The Duchess of Sussex is not in talks to sign a deal with Dior.

"There is no truth to the claims that she will partner with the French fashion house,"

A Dior insider said its team was "nonplussed as to how the story came about".

Who became 'the Duchess of Dior' in 2023?

Meghan lost out on the opportunity of a lucrative Dior job to a Kate Middleton actress.

It was revealed in November 2023, that Meg Bellamy, 21, who plays a young Kate Middleton in season six of the hit royal drama The Crown is to be the new face of Dior.

An insider told The Daily Mail: "They have been queuing up for Meg, she is playing the most famous woman in the world in a globally famous television drama, so many labels and brands want some of that.

"She is a total unknown, but she is being treated like Kate, an A-list princess."

What deals and contracts does Meghan Markle have?

After leaving the royal family and their royal duties, Prince Harry and Meghan vowed to become financially independent.

It was reported that the couple would support themselves through Prince Harry's $10 million inheritance from his mother, Princess Diana.

With the world eager to know their story, lucrative million-dollar deals started rolling in from AppleTV, Netflix, and Spotify.

The couple signed a deal with Netflix through their production company, Archewell Productions, with a hefty payment of $100 million for multiple projects.

They have since released one documentary, Harry and Meghan.

Their upcoming documentary series titled, Heart of Invictus, is in the works.

While their third documentary is to be shot in South Africa, the Sussexes are also planning to delve into the rom-com genre with the streaming giant

In June 2023, the couple made headlines when it was reported that their 25-million-dollar deal with Spotify had ended.

According to Rolling Stone, the couple would pay back a portion of their deal money and look for another company to produce podcasts with.

In a joint statement, they said: "Spotify and Archewell Audio have mutually agreed to part ways and are proud of the series we made together."

Royal biographer Tom Bower believes that the couple's "joint ventures are falling apart" and that Meghan is finding it difficult to sell her brand.

"They're beginning to taste the medicine that they handed out after the Oprah interview and they're finding it very very hard to keep their brand reputable," Bower told new magazine.

"They're constantly having to defend themselves and grasping at opportunities that don't exist anymore."

If this leech’s plan was to disclose pictures of Jamie and herself together right now, so logically her staging failed, because she was probably in New York all week to celebrate Renell’s work, I’m talking about the work Jess was supposed to do the last 3 years with Renell and Quill, but traveling to go to all the events Jamie was invited to attend, like conventions and fashion shows in order to become famous and important was more advantageous for her than her "real business" in New York and "her coworker/friend".

Jamie’s hair is shorter, more darker and he has a snowboard bag and he made a video yesterday or Thursday about his next convention and he was all alone and I will add that it was Jess who called this person to take a picture of them, she knew perfectly well where this person was, the same for the person who takes them and she is not discreet, knowing that she looks at this person and she did not seem embarrassed by this situation like Jamie who seemed embarrassed

If I remember correctly, it’s not the first time Jess calls someone to take a picture of them, like on the beach in Malibu in 2021, she kissed Jamie to formalize their relationship herself, because he probably wanted to stay discreet about his new relationship, but this situation it didn’t suit her and she was looking the person taking pictures of them.

It is obvious that Jess knew they were being photographed. This was more than likely something Jess had arranged. As for the beach photos in Malibu those were in 2022 but a short while after Jamie confirmed he was dating her.

As to if Jess were in NY all week or even just a day, Jamie wasn't traveling anywhere with her from or to L.A because he wasn't in NY either.

It's clear to a lot of people these photos are old news. I've seen comments from a lot of people replying to JustJared. I don't know if they care or they'll make a note of it or remove anything but almost no one is buying that the pictures are recent.

GJ and ZZH Updates — October 15-21

previous week || all posts || following week

This is part of a weekly series collecting updates from and relating to Gong Jun and Zhang Zhehan.

This post is not wholly comprehensive and is intended as an overview, links provided lead to further details. Dates are in accordance with China Standard Time, the organization is chronological. My own biases on some things are reflected here. Anything I include that is not concretely known is indicated as such, and you’re welcome to do your own research and draw your own conclusions as you see fit. Please let me know if you have any questions, comments, concerns, or additions. :)

[Glossary of names and terms] [Masterlist of my posts about the situation with Zhang Zhehan]

10-15 → Vogue+ posted a video featuring Gong Jun. [subbed video]

→ Gong Jun's studio posted a douyin of Gong Jun in his outfit from the 09-30 Elie Saab show. Caption: "The inventory is loading, and @ Gong Jun Simon's Paris fragments are dropped~" BGM is 秋雨不问梧桐意 by CC雨涵.

10-16 → The Japanese television station LaLa TV announced that it would be airing Zhang Zhehan's unreleased 2016 drama Castle in the Time starting 12-27. At the time of this post, this is very questionable due to both to the general circumstances with Zhang Zhehan as well as because whalers reacted in a very organized fashion, indicating that they were tipped off about this ahead of time and thus the scam is likely involved. Additional Info: - The drama was not released in China due to regulations about the use of Korean actors, the female lead being Korean. [summary of the rather messy production history] A version of the show with a recast female lead and a new title was greenlit by the NRTA (#4 in the linked file) in February 2021; the version announced by LaLa TV is the original one. - The drama was filmed when Zhang Zhehan was contracted with Yu Zheng, who came out in support of the scam a few months ago. (see 07-16) - Japanese fans who looked into the production company found that it has faced a number of lawsuits recently, including one that closed on 08-09 with them having to pay 1.32 million RMB. As well, the two individuals who hold copyright for the show are both severely in debt.

→ Deeyeo posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun.

→ The Instagram posted eight photos of "Zhang Zhehan".

→ Gong Jun posted another video of himself camping with a collie, this one of him making a mixed drink. Caption: "My special blend is really delicious! #100 kinds of beauty of the motherland#" Gong Jun's studio reposted this with the added caption: "Camping, @ Gong Jun Simon unlocks a new menu to welcome the delicious crit😋"

→ Gong Jun Outdoor Office posted a video of Gong Jun with the collie.

→ 361° posted a photo ad featuring Gong Jun.

→ GXG posted two photo ads featuring Gong Jun.

→ Tiffany & Co. posted a clip of Gong Jun from their event the previous weekend.

10-17 → Nothing of note.

10-18 → Ranyi Music's Weibo was suddenly wiped. The reason is not known at the time of this post.

→ The Instagram posted seven photos of "Zhang Zhehan" at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris and two with the Eiffel Tower in view, because the scam gang are still desperate to try to one-up Gong Jun. Fan Observation: - UNESCO offers tours for €15 per person. The other people in the group photo appear to be other members of the same tour. - It was noted that the tree leaves in the outside photo don't match the current season in Paris.

10-19 → Sohu Fashion posted an interview with Gong Jun from the Tiffany event. [subbed video]

For a moment recently, it seemed that big brands and box stores were finally deigning to cater to women like me. The zeitgeist had evolved past the heroin-chic trend of the 1990s and the low-rise jeans of the 2000s. “Body positivity” became a buzzword. In 2018, Loft and Madewell introduced plus sizes to their offerings, and in 2021, Old Navy introduced a “Bodequality” campaign to stock sizes 0 through 28 in stores. Ralph Lauren trumpeted its hiring of a size 12 model (just a few years after getting in trouble for Photoshopping a model into impossible thinness), and Sports Illustrated, to great fanfare, started routinely including curvier women in its annual swimsuit issue. Celebrities celebrated Lizzo. Ashley Graham was everywhere. Plus size was having a moment — and it felt to me as though the hard work of disentangling morality and health from the shape of our bodies was finally, maybe, paying off.

Then, just as quickly, the moment passed. Old Navy walked back its initiative. Loft removed its plus-size offerings. Clothing companies returned to once again courting a thin minority. The haunting return of Y2K-style fashion coincided with the rise of drugs like Ozempic, used for its off-label weight-loss side effects. This spring, New York Fashion Week featured 31 plus-size models — which may sound like a lot, until you consider that about 3,000 models appeared over the week and the number of plus-size models was down from 49 the season before. No sooner had bigger bodies been invited to the party than we were being ushered out the back door again.

That might feel dispiriting. But there’s an antidote to the whims of a fickle, fatphobic fashion industry. I know exactly where I can find a perfect dress that fits me well and makes me feel great.

As my grandmother said, I just make it, toots.

It's the final month with presenter Ryan Tubridy at the helm of the show. After 14 years in the hot seat, the Dubliner turns his attention to other projects.

On the release day of his latest album Subtract, UK superstar Ed Sheeran joins Ryan for an exclusive chat where the star opens up about the death of his late friend Jamal Edwards and his tough 2022 when wife Cherry was diagnosed with cancer.

Ed will also discuss the Irish influences on his music career and life, and as well as an acoustic performance of his hit single Perfect, the singer also has a surprise for Ryan which leaves him speechless.

Outlander star and Monaghan native Caitriona Balfe will be in the studio to chat about the enduring success of the Prime Series which is now in its seventh season.

The 43-year-old will detail how she missed the infamous Oscars slap from 2021 when she attended the awards for her hit movie Belfast.

Five models will showcase the amazing designs of some of the youngsters who are competing in Junk Kouture, the largest sustainable fashion competition in the world.

The winning designs selected by a panel of judges will compete against 50 other teams from Abu Dhabi, London, Paris, Milan and New York to become the second-ever World Designer of the Year.
