Fashion icon and Louis Vuitton men’s artistic director Virgil Abloh has died. LVMH posted the news last night that Abloh has passed away from cancer after a private battle.  A child of immigrants from Ghana, he was the first black person to hold the artistic director position in the history of the company.  He was also the creator and CEO of a Milan-based fashion house Off-White, which is a very popular brand in street culture, and has collaborated with Nike since 2017 on some now-legendary sneakers. Virgil worked closely with Kanye West for years, ultimately becoming a competitor in the streetwear-meets-high fashion sector.  Virgil Abloh was only 41 years old.

Matthew McConaughey give us an answer the question of whether or not he’s going to run for Texas and governor.  That answer is no.
 
 
 
 
A man survived stuffing himself into the wheel well of a jet flying from Guatemala to Miami. The 26-year-old man somehow sneaked into the landing gear area of an American Airlines  Boeing 737 and hid there for the 3-hour flight.  It happens sometimes, but due to the extremely low temperatures at high altitude, it’s not often survivable - but this guy - although exhausted - appeared to be fine. He was taken into custody after getting checked out. 
 
 
 
 I really feel bad for celebrities sometimes. Like here was Jeff Goldblum at the airport being hounded by a paparazzo who is asking him if he thinks dinosaurs should be cloned.  Ultimately he just says I’m an actor, what do I know about cloning dinosaurs?’  But I looked this up, and indeed some Chinese scientists published a paper a month ago that said they found a 125 million year old dinosaur fossil that appeared to have intact DNA.  This is how it starts… Followed by running and screaming.  
 

 

 
Maybe she’ll be a Real Housewife after all.  Lindsay Lohan is engaged.  Lindsay, who has been living off and on in Dubai for several years, announced her engagement to finance exec Bader Shammas on Instagram yesterday.  They’ve reportedly been together a couple of years.  A few weeks ago the bravo network in the US announced a real housewives of Dubai series, and a lot of people thought Lindsay Lohan might be a part of that…although she isn’t a wife… but that’s about to change. Mabrook!
