Big update on ‘The Devil Wears Prada’
A sequel to The Devil Wears Prada is in the works, whose photos and clips often went viral on social media.
However, the update is not related to the upcoming film but to the original movie, which, over the years since its release, has become a cult classic.
According to Collider, the film is now available to stream on Hulu. Its logline reads, “An aspiring journalist, Andy (Hathaway), who has no idea what she is getting into while taking up an assisting job for New York’s biggest magazine editor, Miranda Priestly (Streep).”
“Andy quickly finds herself at the mercy of her diabolical editor and the power play of the fashion industry,” the synopsis said.
In the meantime, Emily Blunt, who has opted for red locks for the sequel’s shooting, said in 2018 about the forthcoming movie, “If everyone did it, I would be up for it. I almost hope it doesn’t because I think sometimes when you sequel everything kind of dilutes how special the original is.”
But in a later interview with The View, the actress clarified that she “would do [a sequel] in a heartbeat just to play with those guys again.”
Besides Emily, Anne Hathaway as Andy, Stanley Tucci as Nigel, Simon Baker as Christian, and Adrian Grenier as Nate.
Moreover, Gisele Bündchen as Serena, Tracie Thoms as Lily, Rich Sommer as Doug, Daniel Sunjata as James Holt, and James Naughton as Stephen.
The Devil Wears Prada sequel is expected to come out in 2026.

Barry Manilow reveals lung cancer diagnosis, cancels some concerts due to surgery
Barry Manilow, the singer-songwriter known for hits like “Copacabana,” announced Monday that he was recently diagnosed with lung cancer and will need to reschedule January concert dates in order to have surgery.
In a statement shared on Instagram, Manilow, 82, said that an MRI scan detected “a cancerous spot” on one of his lungs after he suffered a lengthy bout of bronchitis in the midst of his Las Vegas residency.
“As many of you know I recently went through six weeks of bronchitis followed by a relapse of another five weeks. Even though I was over the bronchitis and back on stage at the Westgate Las Vegas, my wonderful doctor ordered an MRI just to make sure that everything was OK,” Manilow said in the statement. “The MRI discovered a cancerous spot on my left lung that needs to be removed.”
“It’s pure luck (and a great doctor) that it was found so early,” Manilow said, adding that he is going to have surgery to have the spot removed.
“The doctors do not believe it has spread, and I’m taking tests to confirm their diagnosis,” he said. “So, that’s it. No chemo. No radiation. Just chicken soup and I Love Lucy reruns.”
Manilow just finished a string of Christmas shows at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort and Casino, where he has a lifetime residency. His January concert dates will be rescheduled as he recovers from surgery, he said.
The singer assured fans that he will be back to work by February and intends to perform Valentine’s Day weekend.
“I’m very sorry that you have to change your plans,” he said.
“Just like you, we were all looking forward to the January shows and hate having to move everything around,” he added. “In the meantime, I’m counting the days until I return to my home away from home at the Westgate Las Vegas for our Valentine’s weekend concerts on February 12-13-14 and throughout 2026. Something tells me that February weekend is going to be one big party.”

Jennifer Lawrence recalls tough time of working with Jonah Hill
Jennifer Lawrence looked back on her days filming Adam McKay’s Don’t Look Up and the challenges she went through.
The film was based on a dark comedy satire about two low-level astronomers, Dr Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence), who discover a massive comet on a collision course with Earth.
While working on the movie, she seemingly had a tough time with her co-star Jonah Hill (Jason Orlean).
In conversation with Vanity Fair, she explained, “It was really, really hard filming with Jonah, and just not ruining take after take, laughing. We one-time dedicated an entire day to him just improve-ing insults at me. It was amazing.”
The Die My Love star went on to praise the actor’s talent for improv, adding that “He’s just a comedic master. I mean we all did some [improv] just not as well as Jonah.
Recalling a scene from the film, where Hill’s character tells Lawrence and DiCaprio to “Sit tight and assess.” The Hunger Games star admitted that it was an improvisation and not scripted, marvelling at his talent.
In addition to Lawrence, DiCaprio and Hill, the film also includes Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchett, Tyler Perry, Timothee Chalamet, Ariana Grande and more.
The film was released on December 24, 2021, on Netflix.

Historic silverware stolen from French presidential palace
Another prominent building in France has fallen victim to theft as silverware worth thousands of dollars was stolen from the Presidential Palace in Paris, months after the Louvre museum heist.
Authorities have caught the culprits, three men, who worked at the official residence of the French President, will stand trial next year for stealing silverware and a table worth between 15,000 to 40,000 euros.
The Élysée Palace’s head steward first reported the disappearance. Several of the missing items were spotted on an online auction website which led authorities to open an investigation.
The investigation team determined that one of the silver stewards was behind the theft and his records suggested that additional thefts were being planned.
Around 100 items were recovered from the steward, including a plate stamped “French Air Force” and “Severes Manufactory” ashtrays that are not available to the general public.
Two other suspects were arrested on Tuesday, December 16, and all the items were returned to Élysée Palace.
The culprits, charged with stealing movable property listed as national heritage, appeared in court on Thursday, December 18. They face up to 10 years in prison and a 150,000-euro fine.
The defendants are now placed under judicial supervision and the trail is postponed till February 2026.
