Lee “Big Poppa” Najjar, the real estate investor famously known as the mystery benefactor on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, has died at the age of 68. 

His death was confirmed on Tuesday by his daughter, Katelin, who shared a touching tribute on her Instagram Story featuring a video of the pair dancing in a car. 

While a specific cause of death for the businessman has not yet been made public, he leaves behind his wife, Kimberly, and their four children, Katelin, Jeremy, Jared, and Jamen.

Najjar became a central figure in reality television history during the first season of RHOA in 2008, though his face was never actually shown on screen at the time. 

Kim Zolciak, one of the show’s original breakout stars, famously kept his identity a secret, referring to him only by the nickname “Big Poppa.” 

He was well-known to viewers as the man who funded Zolciak’s extravagant lifestyle, providing the financial backing for her luxury cars and designer wardrobe while they navigated a complicated, on-again, off-again romance.

Their relationship was the subject of much debate among the Atlanta housewives, particularly because Najjar was still legally married to his wife while dating Zolciak, though the reality star maintained they were estranged. 

Before the Season 1 reunion, Zolciak revealed that they had been engaged and described him as a great person who was wonderful to her daughters. 

She admitted at the time that she was crazy about him and that he remained a significant part of her daily life, even as they struggled to move their relationship forward.

The couple eventually split for good in 2009 after Zolciak referred to him as the love of her life but acknowledged it was time to move on. 

She later moved on to marry Kroy Biermann in 2011, a relationship that ended in a high-profile separation in 2023. 

Despite the years that have passed since his time in the Bravo spotlight, Najjar remains a legendary figure for long-time fans of the franchise. 

His daughter’s tribute, set to the track Dancing in the Sky, marks a quiet end for a man whose presence once loomed so large over the world of reality TV.

Google has introduced “Workspace intelligence” at its Cloud Next ‘26 conference on Wednesday, April 22.

This new feature aims at connecting emails, chats, files, and projects across Google Workspace for AI-powered context.

With this intelligence, Google will sync data across Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Drive, and Chat, enabling Gemini-powered agents to assess what a user is trying to accomplish.

“Ask Gemini in Google Chat” is one of the components, which functions as an integrated command line that facilitates work.

It enables users to ask for briefings for the day, create documents and presentations, get files from descriptions, and even book meetings, all through Chat itself. This feature works seamlessly with other applications such as Asana, Jira, and Salesforce.

Other significant updates are natural-language spreadsheet building in Sheets, infographic generation in Docs embedded with business data, and one-pass slide deck creation in Slides with the help of company templates.

While introducing the new sync system, Google also stressed data security. The officials confirmed that Workspace Intelligence operates using infrastructure that is compliant and does not use customer data for advertisements or machine learning without their consent.

The deployment includes administrative controls, client-side encryption, and sovereign data control capabilities for both the US and EU.

Additionally, the company also announced its eighth-generation TPU chips.

The new chips provide 2.8x better price-performance and the TPU 8i for inference, offering 80% better performance-per-dollar.

The series of new features is not completed yet, and the company is expected to roll out more in future. 

Anne Hathaway is ready to wear her crown again as Queen Mia of Genovia.

The Oscar-winning actress has given a major update on Princess Diaries 3 in a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, confirming that a new installment is actively in the works 22 years after Princess Diaries 2.

“One hundred percent, we’re constantly working on it,” she said, revealing that development briefly took a backseat while filming The Devil Wears Prada 2 — another of Hathaway’s highly-anticipated sequels, which hits theatres on May 1.

“[Devil Wears Prada 2] cropped up unexpectedly and took over the space,” Hathaway explained, adding that it became impossible to focus on both projects at once. But now, the plan is clearer.

“The intention is to make Princess Diaries hopefully next,” she declared, noting that the film “is not greenlit or confirmed yet.”

Still, the demand is undeniable. But Hathaway acknowledged that “everybody wants it,” she and her TDWP costar Meryl Streep emphasised that “you’ve got to wait for the right script.”

The original Princess Diaries released in 2001 introduces Mia Thermopolis, a regular teenager who discovers she’s heir to a kingdom — a role that turned Hathaway into a household name.

Looking back at the film, Hathaway tearfully told People magazine, “This is the role that changed my life. And I’m standing with Julie Andrews, which is just insane.”
