Arrest made in connection to robbery of Seattle home of rapper Macklemore

Seattle detectives arrested a man in connection with the June robbery of rapper Macklemore’s home in the neighborhood of Capitol Hill, police said Thursday.
The 29-year-old man, whose name was not released, from Renton, Washington, is expected to face criminal charges related to the home invasion and robbery in the coming days. He was arrested for a separate Seattle robbery after law enforcement served a search warrant at his home on Aug. 21, police said.
Seattle police collaborated with the sheriff’s office in King County, which includes Seattle, and the Renton Police Department, who have been investigating other high-profile burglaries targeting celebrities and sports stars.
The investigation led law enforcement to a jewelry store in south Seattle where multiple items from Macklemore’s home and other homes recently burglarized were found, police said.
Macklemore’s home was robbed on June 7, police said. The rapper’s 22-year-old nanny called 911 to report two men who crept into the home through an unlocked door and attacked her with bear spray. The rapper’s three children were in bed at the time, according to Entertainment Tonight.
The suspects robbed the house and stole thousands of dollars of personal items, including “one very distinguishable Seattle Sounders ring with the owner’s name on it.”
Macklemore is a minority owner of the Seattle Sounders soccer team, according to the club, and has shown his MLS Cup ring in his music videos. In one song, he rapped, “I was supposed to be a one-hit ringer, now I’ve got too many rings and not enough fingers.”

Hardline Takaichi wins lower house vote to shatter Japan’s glass ceiling and pivot to right

- Takaichi set to become Japan’s first female prime minister.
- Takaichi’s election marks a shift to the right in Japan.
- Equity markets optimistic about Takaichi’s economic policies.
Hardline conservative Sanae Takaichi was set to become Japan’s first female prime minister on Tuesday after winning a critical vote in parliament’s lower house.
An acolyte of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and an admirer of Britain’s Margaret Thatcher, Takaichi received 237 votes in the lower house election to choose the next premier, topping the majority of the 465-seat chamber.
Her victory shatters the glass ceiling in a country where men still hold overwhelming sway and puts Japan, a close US ally, on a forceful shift to the right.
Her victory comes after her Liberal Democratic Party, which has governed Japan for most of its postwar history, agreed to a coalition deal with the right-wing Japan Innovation Party, known as Ishin.
Takaichi will likely be approved by the less-powerful upper house and sworn in as Japan’s 104th prime minister this evening to succeed the incumbent Shigeru Ishiba, who last month announced his resignation to take responsibility for election losses.
But her elevation is unlikely to be feted as a sign of progressive change, marking instead a turn to the right on immigration and social issues. After years of deflation, Japan is now grappling with rising prices, something that has sparked public anger and fuelled support for oppositions groups including the far-right Sanseito party.

Meghan Markle ‘desperate’ to attend Taylor Swift’s big day

Meghan Markle is reportedly hoping for a wedding invite from Taylor Swift after the launch of her second season of With Love, Meghan was shadowed by the pop star’s engagement announcement.
Sources claimed that the Duchess of Sussex was “furious” over Swift’s fairytale engagement news as the “biggest celebrity news of the year” “eclipsed” Meghan’s Netflix show after both things occurred the same day, on August 26, via Radaronline.com.
“She had been working for months to relaunch herself as the queen of lifestyle and empowerment, and then Taylor casually drops the biggest celebrity news of the year,” a source told the outlet.
“Meghan was raging behind closed doors that her headlines were ‘stolen’ by the singer – but she still liked Taylor’s post to look gracious. It was through gritted teeth, no question.”
Moreover Meghan is “desperate” to be at Swift’s wedding as “this is the kind of event that cements your place in the A-list hierarchy.”
However, “If she’s snubbed, she’ll take it as a personal insult. She’s already saying it would be ‘a shame’ if certain people tried to keep her out, which is Meghan-speak for she’s gearing up to be angry.”

Prince William to ‘follow King’s playbook’ on Harry, Meghan titles?

Prince William is reportedly planning to strip down brother Prince Harry and sister-in-law Meghan Markle’s royal titles by using Prince Andrew’s blue print as he recently dropped his royal privileges amid alleged association to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
As per a report by Radaronline, during the royal family’s summer stay at Balmoralthe, the future king is said to have talked about the move with King Charles following Andrew’s statement about relinquishing his titles and honors.
A royal insider said, “From the outside, Balmoral seemed like the usual royal getaway – strolls, barbecues, and cozy family meals. But privately, major talks were going on. William’s convinced the monarchy can’t evolve while Harry and Meghan still hold titles.”
“What happened with Andrew showed him it’s time for a definitive break. The King’s decision basically handed him the playbook.”
It is pertinent to mention that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from royal duties back in 2020 but the pair kept their royal titles and continued to use them.
To William it is now “safeguarding the monarchy’s future.”
A second source said, William “really respects how his father handled Andrew – it was tough but the right call, and it showed that no one, regardless of status, is above the Crown. He feels the same principle should apply to Harry and Meghan. This isn’t about revenge – it’s about preservation.”
