Dua Lipa got into the Christmas spirit with her fiancé, Callum Turner, in a new post shared with fans on Instagram. 

The Albanian pop star is spending the festive period with her husband-to-be.

It comes after Dua dropped jaw-dropping pictures showing off her fit physique in a skin-baring two-piece after concluding the Latin America leg of her Radical Optimism tour in Mexico City last week.

In the new snaps, the singer could be seen cosying up to the actor as he kissed her on the cheek.

In another photo, the pair flashed big smiles as Dua lay on Callum while he sat on the sofa.

It appeared to be a close-knit family affair, with Dua sharing snaps of her parents, Anesa and Dukagjin as well as her younger siblings Rina and Gjin.

Callum’s mother, Rosemary was also included in the festivities. 

Despite her fortunes, Dua and her family played the lottery and could be seen with scratch cards.

Alongside the snaps, Dua penned: ‘It’s all about the Love… and absolutely smashing the cooking this year (all the stars aligned for me after not being in a kitchen for 6 months!!) HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!! SENDING YOU ALL SO MUCH LOVE!!!!!’

Fans were in awe of Dua’s cooking as they flooded her with compliments in the replies.

• Sanctioned execs, including Anduril founder, banned from entering China.
• Targets include Northrop Grumman, L3Harris, Boeing’s defence branch.
• China calls Taiwan “core interest”; US reaffirms support for its defence.

China’s foreign ministry announced sanctions on Friday targeting 10 individuals and 20 US defence firms, including Boeing’s St Louis branch, over arms sales to Taiwan.

A spokesperson for the US State Department said the United States strongly objected to the Chinese move, which freezes any assets the companies and individuals hold in China and bars domestic organisations and individuals from doing business with them.

Individuals on the Chinese list, including the founder of defence firm Anduril Industries and nine senior executives from the sanctioned firms, are also banned from entering China, it added.

Other companies targeted include Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation and L3Harris Maritime Services, and Boeing’s St Louis branch, which focuses on defence work.

The Chinese action appears largely symbolic, given China’s lack of dealings with US defence firms, whereas it has been a major purchaser of Boeing civilian aircraft.

The move follows Washington’s announcement last week of $11.1 billion in arms sales to Taiwan, the largest ever US weapons package for the island, drawing Beijing’s ire.

“The Taiwan issue is the core of China’s core interests and the first red line that cannot be crossed in China-US relations,” a Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said in a statement on Friday.

“Any provocative actions that cross the line on the Taiwan issue will be met with a strong response from China,” the statement said, urging the US to cease “dangerous” efforts to arm the island.

China views democratically-governed Taiwan as part of its own territory, a claim Taipei rejects.

The US is bound by law to provide Taiwan with the means to defend itself, though such arms sales are a persistent source of friction with China.

The State Department spokesperson said this policy had “remained consistent across nine different US administrations and contributes to the maintenance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.”

“We strongly object to Beijing’s efforts to retaliate against US companies for their support of US arms sales that support Taiwan’s self-defence capabilities,” the spokesperson said, while urging Beijing to cease military, diplomatic, and economic pressure against Taiwan and instead engage in meaningful dialogue with Taipei.

Boeing has been in talks to sell Chinese carriers up to 500 civilian jets, according to a report in September, which would represent a breakthrough for the company in the world’s second-largest aviation market, where orders have stalled amid US-China trade tensions.

Tyler Perry was sued for sexual assault by an actor who appeared in “Boo! A Madea Halloween,” marking the second lawsuit in recent months accusing the filmmaker and studio mogul of leveraging his power in Hollywood to make sexual advances.

Mario Rodriguez filed the lawsuit Thursday in California, alleging Perry subjected him to repeated unwanted sexual advances over several years, including sexual battery and assault at Perry’s Los Angeles home. Rodriguez is seeking at least $77 million in damages and also has sued Lionsgate, which distributed the 2016 film, accusing the studio of turning a blind eye to Perry’s alleged misconduct.

“Having recently failed in another matter against Mr. Perry, the very same lawyer has now made yet another demand from more than a decade ago which will also be a failed money grab,” Alex Spiro, an attorney for Perry, said in a statement Friday provided to CBS News.

Lionsgate did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment.

According to the complaint, Rodriguez was approached in 2014 by a trainer at an Equinox gym in Los Angeles who said Perry wanted his phone number to discuss an acting role. Perry later encouraged Rodriguez to audition for “Boo! A Madea Halloween,” telling him, “I’m not a bad person to know and have in your corner,” the lawsuit claims.

After Rodriguez was cast, he was invited to Perry’s home, where Perry allegedly touched him inappropriately while they watched a movie. The lawsuit describes additional alleged incidents in 2016, 2018 and 2019, including one encounter in which Perry allegedly attempted to unbuckle Rodriguez’s pants and another in which Perry placed Rodriguez’s hand on his genitals. The complaint says Perry gave Rodriguez $5,000 on multiple occasions following the encounters.

Rodriguez says he resisted the advances and ultimately decided to file suit after learning of similar allegations made by another actor, Derek Dixon.

Dixon sued Perry in June, alleging the filmmaker groped him while Dixon worked on Perry’s television series “The Oval” and “Ruthless.” That lawsuit, which was originally filed in L.A. Superior Court, has reportedly since been moved to federal court in Georgia, where Perry’s studio is based.

Rodriguez’s lawsuit includes claims of sexual assault, sexual battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
