Investigation found that Clarence Thomas took free yacht, helicopter trips in Russia: Democrats

A Senate Judiciary Committee investigation found that conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas failed to disclose at least 35 luxury gifts, including a free yacht trip to Russia and a private helicopter to a palace in St. Petersburg, Vladimir Putin's hometown, Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse, D-R.I., and Ron Wyden, D-Or., said  in a letter  to Attorney General Merrick Garland.

The letter raised the "serious possibility of tax fraud" and accused Thomas of having "secretly accepted gifts and income potentially worth millions of dollars," mostly from billionaire real estate developer Harlan Crow, who Thomas once described as being among his "dearest friends." Buried in appendix list on page 14 are the references to the Russia trips, which took place in 2003. Other gifts from Crow include "multiple instances of free private jet travel, yacht travel, and lodging," "gifts of tuition for Justice Thomas's grandnephew," "real estate transactions," "home renovations," and "free rent for Justice Thomas's mother."

“The Senate is not a prosecutorial body, and the Supreme Court has no fact-finding function of its own, making the executive role all the more important if there is ever to be any complete determination of the facts,” the letter reads.

After a bombshell ProPublica report last year that revealed the extent of Thomas' financial ties with Crow and attempts to hide it, Thomas admitted to taking three trips on a private plane owned by Crow, but did not disclose any of the other gifts.

The senators are asking Garland to launch a special counsel investigation into Thomas, with the evidence collected so far "plainly suggest[ing] that Justice Thomas has committed numerous willful violations of federal ethics and false-statement laws and raises significant questions about whether he and his wealthy benefactors have complied with their federal tax obligations."

In a separate move on Wednesday, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and a group of fellow progressives filed articles of impeachment against Thomas and Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito for failing to disclose "millions of dollars in gifts from individuals with business before the court."

Jay-Z & Beyonce’s $6 Million Per Week Vacation On World’s Most Expensive Superyacht

Rap royalty hit the high seas.

Image: DMARGE

When Jay-Z and Beyoncé choose to vacation aboard a 450-foot-long superyacht that costs $6 million AUD per week to charter, it’s a whole different level of luxury.

Everyone who’s anyone has a massive superyacht at their disposal: from Jeff Bezos’s brand-new $700 million vessel to Putin’s gold-plated gargantuan, these superyachts are about the most luxurious and most private getaway spot available for A-list celebs.

That’s why the power couple consisting of rapper Jay-Z and pop superstar Beyonce are currently aboard the record-breakingly-expensive Flying Fox , sailing around Europe in style. However, unlike their aforementioned counterparts, they can boast spending this particular holiday on the world’s most expensive charter yacht.

Suffice to say, it takes luxury to a whole new level…

WATCH: Here’s Jeff Bezos’ new yacht, for your comparison…

A Floating Paradise

The Flying Fox leaves no stone unturned when it comes to pampering its guests, boasting a multitude of lavish amenities. According to Superyacht Charter , these include:

• A spacious pool on the main deck for a refreshing dip.
• A state-of-the-art cinema for movie enthusiasts.
• Elevators for easy access between decks.
• Two helipads capable of accommodating the largest helicopters on the market.
• A large beach area and swim platforms, providing ample space for leisure and water activities.
• A two-deck spa, complete with a gym, sauna, hammam, and massage area for ultimate relaxation.
• A hospital and decompression chamber for added safety and convenience.

Designed by Espen Øino International and built by Lurssen Yachts, the Flying Fox boasts a steel hull and aluminium superstructure, powered by advanced MTU engines. With a maximum speed of 20 knots and a comfortable cruising speed of 10 knots, it offers both performance and comfort, as reported by Supercar Blondie .

The Ultimate Retreat

The Flying Fox can accommodate up to 22 guests and is supported by a crew of 54. Interestingly, the true owner of the Flying Fox remains a closely guarded secret, adding a further (and not much-needed) air of exclusivity to this exceptional vessel.

So, whether you’re in the mood for a relaxing spa day, a cinematic experience, or a refreshing swim, the Flying Fox has it all. A testament to Lurssen’s dedication to detail and their commitment to creating some of the most impressive yachts in the world, you can see why this was the power couple’s vacation vessel of choice.

If you’re looking to vacation like a superstar and indulge in the epitome of luxury, we recommend a casual daydream about this yacht like no other. Unless, of course, you’ve actually got the funds required to take it for a spin. In that instance, we recommend booking immediately…

All the luxurious details on Beyonce and JAY-Z's $2M-a-week superyacht

JAY-Z and Beyonce are making waves in Europe, and they're doing it in luxury. 

Recent paparazzi photos show the superstar couple and their children cruising off the coast of Croatia aboard an incredibly extravagant yacht named Lana. 

Imperial Yachts, which charters the floating mansion, calls it "one of the most luxurious superyachts in the world."

It can be yours for merely $2 million a week. 

According to Imperial, Lana is brand new and loaded with opulence. 

The ship fits up to 12 guest and accommodates a crew of 34 — that's almost three crew members per guest. Longer than a football field, Lana boasts seven VIP rooms and one primary suite. 

Amenities include a pool, a gym, a theater, a spa with professional masseuses, a helipad and more. It's also fully equipped with a slew of water toys, such as jet skis, wakeboards and fishing equipment. Those hoping to play a round of golf can use the sea as their own personal driving range, as the ship will supply guests with clubs and biodegradable golf balls. 

This is the kind of "hard knock life" we can all get behind.

Singer abruptly walked off 'Today' gig over dressing room

Kelly Rowland was just not destined to guest host the "Today" show.

According to a new report, the former Destiny's Child singer was set to fill in for Jenna Bush Hager in the fourth hour of "Today" on Feb. 15, 2024, but she instead walked off the set because she was unhappy with her dressing room, Page Six reported. Kelly's abrupt departure left "Today" in a bind, as producers scrambled to find a last-minute replacement.

Kelly Rowland appeared on "Today" as a guest in the 8 a.m. hour to promote her Tyler Perry-produced Netflix movie "Mea Culpa." (She stars in the film, which she also produced.) She was also set to guest host the fourth hour of the show with Hoda Kotb. However, Kelly decided to pull the plug on the hosting gig because she and her team were displeased with her dressing room — Team Kelly apparently wanted the bigger dressing room Jennifer Lopez was occupying at that moment. 

"Kelly and her team were not happy. They did not like the dressing room, so they decided to pull her off the show, leaving Hoda without a guest host for the 10 a.m. hour," a source told Page Six.

Kelly Rowland's sudden exit stunned "Today" show producers.

"She's beloved at 'Today.' She was getting the full hour, and Hoda's the biggest hype woman on the planet! It made no sense," a source said, adding that Kelly and her team were playing a game of "musical dressing rooms." The Destiny's Child singer "didn't like the one she was in."

"Today" dressing rooms are known to be some of the smallest in the business, and Page Six's source even compared them to "glorified closets."

"They're not nice. It's the oldest building. There are major space limitations, [it's] not glamorous. It's not fresh flowers and candles and gourmet food. It's basically [a] white box," the insider said.

It seems that Kelly Rowland was offered multiple dressing room options, including a large utility makeup and hair area.

"They didn't want that. [The show] basically offered up as much as possible, but they weren't happy with it, so they walked and they left," the Page Six source said.

Amid the drama, singer Rita Ora volunteered to step in. The "For You" singer took over the spot intended for Kelly Rowland — and delivered a flawless performance!

Congressman sinks impeachment bid after casting vote from wheelchair, plus more reactions

A vote to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas failed in the House of Representatives after some unanticipated dramatics. Due to the hospitalization of Democratic Rep. Al Green, Republicans believed they had the votes to impeach the cabinet member. However, the Texas congressman stunned his colleagues after rushing back following abdominal surgery to vote "no," all while sitting in a wheelchair and wearing hospital scrubs. The vote failed 216-214. Four Republicans joined the Democrats in their "no" votes, but one of those votes was done as a procedural matter so that the vote can be brought up again.

Following the House drama and the unsuccessful vote, many in the House chambers reacted. From his hospital bed, Al Green, himself, told The New York Times, "I was determined to cast the vote long before — I had no idea how close it was going to be. I didn't come assuming that my vote was going to make a difference. I came because it was personal." 

Keep clicking to see how others in Congress are reacting….

"The sham impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas was demanded by Donald Trump and is being led by Marjorie Taylor Greene. What does this have to do with fixing the challenges at the border? Absolutely nothing." —Rep. Hakeem Jeffries via CNN

"There was a motion to recommit. That means that we can bring the Articles of Impeachment back to the floor maybe as early as next week. So, this is not over yet." —Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene

"Welcome to another week of Impeachment Unlimited. Having no legislative accomplishments to show for their 14 months in power, Republicans are voting on yet another pointless resolution. These are not serious people." —Rep. Adam Schiff

"Last night was a setback but democracy is messy. We live in a time of divided government. We have a razor-thin margin here and every vote counts. Sometimes when people show up when they're not expected to be in the building it changes the equation. We have a duty and a responsibility to take care of this issue…We will pass those articles of impeachment. We'll do it on the next time round." —House Speaker Mike Johnson

"Wouldn't it have been nice to still have Kevin McCarthy in the House? Never thought you'd hear me say that. But McCarthy after being dislodged as speaker took his marbles and went home, he would have been a reliable vote for impeachment, but if we wasn't speaker, he wasn't willing to stick around…  the abject selfishness of Kevin McCarthy contributed to this result" —Rep. Matt Gaetz via Newsmax

"This is a not a high crime or misdemeanor. This is not an impeachable offense. This is a policy difference … it's wrong, and we should not set this precedent." —Rep. Ken Buck

"The Trump-Putin-maga faction, headed up by the distinguished gentlelady from Georgia, has been given this worthless trinket on a consolation prize, the opportunity to bring a slapstick impeachment drive against a cabinet member of unimpeachable integrity who has obviously committed no treason, no bribery, no high crimes, not misdemeanors, nothing indictable or even in-dict-able, if you prefer." —Rep. Jamie Raskin

"Secretary Mayorkas is guilty of maladministration of our immigration laws on a cosmic scale. But we KNOW that's not grounds for impeachment, because the American Founders specifically rejected it." —Rep. Tom McClintock

"This is insanity! We are on the floor! MAGA Mike is upset he can't deliver for daddy Trump and holding us on the floor where the vote is tied 215-215 which means the BS impeachment fails!" –Rep. Jasmine Crockett

"When you have no record of accomplishment to run on, nothing on education, nothing on health care, nothing about creating jobs, nothing on the environment, nothing about keeping people safe, this is what you do. You put on a circus. And that's why we're here today" –Rep. Joaquin Castro

"Welcome to the Marjorie Taylor Greene impeachment show. She has been leading these efforts to impeach Secretary Mayorkas and the President, all to help Donald Trump's campaign. Her insanity must be stopped." —Rep. Robert Garcia

"With a tight majority these things happen. Still doesn't mean I'm not annoyed and deeply disappointed and angry. But I do think he will be impeached within the next month or two." —Rep. Pat Fallon via the Texas Tribune

"The impeachment of Secretary Mayorkas was nothing but a baseless, political ploy to help Donald Trump in the 2024 Election. Tonight, we defeated this sham impeachment and protected the rule of law, the solemn power of impeachment, and our Constitution." —Rep Dan Goldman

Oscar winner and long-term partner 'exchanged vows' for their three kids before he died following a secret years-long battle with ALS: Report

Sandra Bullock and longtime partner Bryan Randall were every bit a husband-wife team despite not being legally married. In fact, they were so committed that they reportedly "exchanged vows" in 2017.

On Aug. 8, DailyMail.com published a video of the couple dancing on the beach in the Bahamas allegedly following an intimate ceremony during which they exchanged vows.

"They really did this for the children, to kind of seal the deal and show them this was a forever thing. After the ceremony [Sandra's kids] Louis and Laila started calling Bryan dad," a source shared. 

The Academy Award-winning actress and began dating the model-turned-photographer in 2015 after they met when he photographed her son's birthday party. Although Sandra has spoken publicly about never wanting to marry again, she called Bryan "the love of my life" on a 2021 episode of "Red Table Talk."

"We share two beautiful children — three children, [including Bryan's] older daughter. It's the best thing ever," she said. At the time, she didn't reference his health issues. 

Bryan passed away on Aug. 5 following a secret three-year battle with ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. He was 57.

While Sandra's sister said the actress was there until the end, an insider told DailyMail.com that Bryan's illness did strain their relationship. But they were "more together than ever" at the time of his death, the insider added. Sandra also arranged and paid for his around-the-clock care. 

Interestingly, split rumors had surrounded the couple for the better part of a year, largely due to the fact they hadn't been seen together in public for a while. That speculation actually helped them keep his health battle private. 

"Sandra kept Bryan hidden away in the back of the house. It's so big that you could conceal what was going on with him but towards the end she really didn't let people into the home beyond the doctors and nurses who were looking after him," the insider said. "It was quite convenient for them to have these rumors that they'd broken up because it helped conceal what was really going on. It was easier to let people assume they hadn't seen him because they were no longer together."

A separate source noted, "The relationship was absolutely strained by it, and it was really hard for the children. He had been living in one of her Malibu properties for a while just because it was nicer for him to be there, by the ocean, and I think some people assumed they had split because it looked like they were living separately, but there weren't. She'd have the house stocked up with everything he needed, and his nurses would go there."

According to a statement from Bryan's family released after his death, "Bryan chose early to keep his journey with ALS private and those of us who cared for him did our best to honor his request." The statement continued, "We are immensely grateful to the tireless doctors who navigated the landscape of this illness with us and to the astounding nurses who became our roommates, often sacrificing their own families to be with ours. At this time we ask for privacy to grieve and to come to terms with the impossibility of saying goodbye to Bryan." The statement was signed by, "His Loving Family."

Singer's nanny killed in freak accident after elderly driver crashed SUV into reception area at car dealership

Yadira Calito — who nannied Katharine McPhee and David Foster's son — died in a freak accident after she was run over by an SUV at a car dealership in the Los Angeles area.

According to reports, an unnamed 84-year-old woman went to a San Fernando Valley car dealership on Aug. 11 to get her Toyota RAV4 serviced. She then somehow hit the gas pedal rather than the brakes, launching her vehicle from the service bay driveway into the customer reception area.

Yadira, who was at the dealership, suddenly found herself pinned under the car and was dragged for about 20 feet, TMZ reported. Kat and David's nanny was eventually freed from under the car and, according to DailyMail.com , an off-duty nurse started performing CPR on her before emergency services arrived. 

The nanny to Kat and David's 2-year-old son, Rennie, was eventually transported to a hospital in critical condition but later died. 

Two men working at the dealership were also injured in the shocking incident, but their injuries were not life-threatening. The driver of the car stayed on site to answer authorities' questions and declined to be taken to the hospital. She was not arrested.

Images from the crash — which occurred around 9 a.m. — show the white SUV parked among shattered glass. 

Upon learning about Yadira's injuries and death Katharine — who found fame as a runner-up on "American Idol" in 2006 — canceled two shows in Asia, where she was touring with her Grammy-winning husband. 

"Dearest Jakarta fans, it's with heavy heart I announce I have to miss our final two shows of our Asia run," she  wrote on Instagram  on Aug. 11 without providing further details. "David and I have had a horrible tragedy in our family and at least one of us need to get back home to our family." 

She added, "Please know how sorry I am and how much I wish to return one day and perform for you all. Love Katharine." 

The songstress flew back to Los Angeles the same day. TMZ reported that the superstar couple considered Yadira "family." After several celebrity friends, including David's ex-wife Linda Thompson, commented with well wishes, Kat disabled the comments section of her Instagram.

On Aug. 17, the car dealership, Hamer Toyota, issued a statement about what happened. "We extend our deepest condolences to Yadira's family, friends, and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. The loss of such a vibrant life in such tragic circumstances is a heavy burden to bear, and we share in their grief," the dealership's director of communications told Us Weekly. 

"At Hamer Toyota, we take the safety of our customers and our community very seriously. We are fully cooperating with the Los Angeles Police Department as they conduct their investigation into this unfortunate event," the spokesperson added. "Our commitment is to ensure transparency, assist the LAPD in every possible way, and to learn from this incident so we can prevent such tragedies in the future. In these moments of profound sadness, we ask our community to join us in remembering Yadira and extending our collective support to her loved ones."

Viral tanning salon mom reveals why she's running for a U.S. Senate seat in Florida as a Republican

Remember "Tan Mom"? In 2012, she went viral after she took her 5-year-old daughter to a New Jersey tanning salon. Now the pop culture personality — whose real name is Patricia Krentcil — is running for office.

On Jan. 15, 2023, Patricia filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to run for a U.S. Senate seat in Florida,  TMZ  confirmed. She's challenging incumbent GOP senator Rick Scott in the 2024 election — and she's running as a Republican despite not exactly following the party line on multiple issues, especially amid a controversy-filled political climate in Florida, where she now calls Boca Raton home.

Patricia spoke to "TMZ Live" to explain why she's running, explaining that she's not a fan of some of Republican governor Ron DeSantis's controversial policies and thinks others in her party feel the same way.

"I was blessed and was able to be a part of raising money for the Sunshine Cathedral in Florida. I saw the amazing work they had done and it really impressed me," Patricia told TMZ, referring to the Ft. Lauderdale church with a ministry based in progressive Christianity that has a constituency of same-gender and gender non-conforming people and prides itself on being a safe and open community for LGBTQ+ people to worship.

Patricia also said she's concerned about the banning of books in her new home state. "I was horrified about the book banning [in schools] in Florida … just a lot of the episodes that are going on here," she told TMZ. "And nobody is addressing them."

She also said Medicaid was an issue for her, as she believes it's "just being abominably banished for the elderly especially. That's three reasons I started doing this," she added of what sparked her interest in going to Washington.

During their chat, TMZ founder Harvey Levin pointed out that Patricia's positions make her sound more like a Democrat than a Republican. But according to her, she's running as  Republican because "I've always been a Republican and my feeling and my issues may sound more Democratic but I am a Republican through and through," she insisted.

"I'm trying to embrace it for people who realize the situation at hand, more today than it ever was, and maybe if I sound more like a Republican, Republicans need to take this not for granted," she continued.

She's hoping people will see her in a new light. "I don't want to be known as what I was as 'Tan Mom.' I've grown and I'm here to help and want to help people that are struggling," she said. "And maybe more Republicans should have a different taste in their mouth when they're trying to help people in the world today."

Patricia further told TMZ, "I know that I am different. And I have suffered for it. But us all being different is what makes this country so amazing and unique."

According to the New York Post , her candidacy comes as she's starring in the TV docuseries "Tan to 10," which chronicles her efforts to stop tanning and change her life. Patricia – who went to rehab for alcohol addiction in 2013 – named her producers Gregg Maliff and Adam Barta as her campaign managers.

Princess of Pop and actor-trainer husband of 14 months are divorcing

Britney Spears and her husband of 14 months, Sam Asghari, are divorcing.

TMZ reported on Aug. 16 that the duo separated the previous week after a "nuclear argument" during which Sam confronted her over unconfirmed rumors that she'd been unfaithful . 

"It's only a matter of time before Sam files for divorce," a source shared.

Sam filed for divorce later the same day, citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for the split and listing July 28 as their date of separation. In court documents, he's asking for spousal support and attorneys fees.

The writing was seemingly on the wall, as reports of blowout fights and arguments between the two have been floating around for several months. In May, a TMZ documentary claimed their marriage was in "deep trouble" and that Sam was rarely staying in their home. Britney even ditched her wedding ring during a spring vacation in Puerto Rico.

Sam was simply at his "wits' end" with Britney's often erratic behavior , the webloid reported. 

Publicly, though, Sam has backed his wife, recently defending her following a physical incident with an NBA player in Las Vegas in July.

Britney and Sam met in 2016 when he starred in one of her music videos. They quickly began dating and became rather inseparable. The couple got engaged in the midst of her conservatorship battle , and they eventually tied the knot in June 2022.

Prior to their 2022 wedding, the "Toxic" singer's lawyers set up an "ironclad prenup" to ensure the finances and assets Britney had going into the marriage would remain hers should she and Sam ever call it quits. Britney has an estimated net worth of $60 million. Regardless, it's believed that she will likely settle things with Sam financially. Divorce docs hint at a potential prenup challenge, TMZ reported, with Sam's attorney noting the actor-trainer "has yet to determine the full nature and extent of the separate property assets and obligations of each party" and that "There are various items of community and quasi-community assets and debts, the full nature and extent of which are unknown to [Sam] at this time."

Her crumbling marriage is just  one piece of the troubling puzzle involving the Princess of Pop. According to a February TMZ  report, those close to Britney  felt an intervention was direly needed  because people around her had become deeply alarmed by what TMZ described as "her erratic, volatile behavior." A source told the webloid that the singer was taking medications that "hype her up" — but not taking the medications that stabilize her — and that she'd been "flying off the handle" with increasing regularity.

Singer-actor Tyrese Gibson is accusing The Home Depot of discrimination and racial profiling after an incident in February that occurred at one of the brand's California stores.

On Aug. 9, the "Fast & Furious" franchise star and two other plaintiffs — Eric Mora and Manuel Hernandez, craftsmen who've provided construction services to the singer-actor — filed a lawsuit claiming "outrageous discriminatory mistreatment and consumer racial profiling" at a Home Depot in West Hills, California, on Feb. 11, 2023.

NBC News reported that in the complaint, Tyrese says he, Eric and Manuel went to The Home Depot together to buy some materials for a project they were doing at his home. A cashier allegedly took 20 minutes to ring up the items. Meanwhile, other shoppers began recognizing and approaching the actor, prompting him to wait in his vehicle to prevent a disturbance. Before he went outside, Tyrese told the cashier that the craftsmen with him would complete the sale on his behalf. The suit claims Eric and Manuel were not allowed to do so, which led Tyrese to come back inside to show ID so they could finish the transaction. He asked to speak to a manager, who allegedly refused.

"The actions of the cashier and manager were discriminatory based on race and origin," the complaint states. "There is no other plausible explanation for the mistreatment of Plaintiffs. The transaction was refused, despite Gibson's repeated authorizations, because of Plaintiffs' skin color and, in the case of Mora and Hernandez, also because of their national origin."

The suit calls the "humiliating and demeaning" interaction "a clear and deplorable instance of discriminatory mistreatment and consumer racial profiling" and further alleges that The Home Depot has "doubled down, lawyered-up" instead of holding itself accountable for what transpired. In short, The Home Depot "invited this civil rights lawsuit," the complaint further alleges. "This is the absolute height of hypocrisy for a company that disingenuously promotes itself to the world as 'an environment of mutual respect that is free of harassment and discrimination.'"

According to court documents, the three plaintiffs are seeking more than $1 million in damages, which Entertainment Weekly reported is how much Tyrese estimates he's spent at The Home Depot over the years, plus statutory damages, attorney's fees, punitive damages, a declaratory judgment confirming that The Home Depot's actions violated California's Unruh Civil Rights Act, pre-judgment and post-judgment interest and also "such other relief as the Court may deem just and proper."

The actor's team released a statement on his Instagram page on Aug. 11 alongside a video of Tyrese speaking to The Home Depot staff inquiring about their policies. According to the social media post, they're seeking a total of $450 million in damages.

"Craftsmen Eric Mora and Manuel Hernandez are an integral part of my team and have made significant contributions to my visions for over a decade. Together, we ardently uphold our commitments to civil rights, promoting empathy, and understanding," the statement began. It continued, "The Home Depot, we envision a world free from discriminatory practices and consumer racial profiling. Just as I have done for the past 20-plus years, I pledge to continue to utilize my platform to empower the voiceless, fostering a spirit of unity and hope, while illuminating our shared path forward."

The Home Depot claims they've tried to address what happened: "Diversity and respect for all people are core to who we are, and we do not tolerate discrimination in any form," a company spokesperson told Today.com in a statement on Aug. 11. "We value Mr. Gibson as a customer, and in the months since this happened, we've reached out to him and his attorneys several times to try to resolve his concerns. We will continue to do so."

TV star leaves ESPN after settling lawsuit over Obama race and COVID vaccine comments

After 16 years, Sage Steele has left ESPN so that she can exercise her First Amendment rights "more freely," the broadcaster said. The ex-"SportsCenter" host and her former company both confirmed the news on Aug. 15.

"Life update. Having successfully settled my case with ESPN/Disney, I have decided to leave so I can exercise my first amendment rights more freely. I am grateful for so many wonderful experiences over the past 16 years and am excited for my next chapter!" she shared on social media.

In a statement, ESPN said the company and Sage "mutually agreed to part ways," adding, "We thank her for her many contributions over the years."

The announcement comes after Sage settled a lawsuit with the company that she filed in 2022. In that suit, she claimed ESPN violated her First Amendment rights as well as Connecticut free-speech laws when she was suspended over public comments she made about the network's COVID vaccine policy and former President Barack Obama's racial identity.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sage Steele (@sagesteele)

It all began when Sage was a guest on a September 2021 episode of the "Uncut With Jay Cutler" podcast. She said she'd just been vaccinated against the coronavirus but called ESPN and parent company The Walt Disney Co.'s corporate vaccine mandate "sick" and "scary to me in many ways."

She also shared on the podcast that she felt late TV journalist Barbara Walters had belittled her for identifying as biracial. (Sage's father is Gary Steele, the first Black football player at U.S. Military Academy West Point, and mother is Mona Steele, who is white.)

Sage said that after the founder of "The View" asked her what race she'd choose on the census and she responded, "well, both," Barbara made a comment about Barack choosing Black. "And I'm like, well, congratulations to the president," Sage said on the podcast. "That's his thing. I think that's fascinating considering his Black dad was nowhere to be found but his white mom and grandma raised him. But hey, you do you. I'm going to do me."

In the wake of her podcast comments, ESPN took her off the air for 10 days and pulled her from several big assignments at the network. "At ESPN, we embrace different points of view — dialogue and discussion makes this place great," the company said in a statement. "That said, we expect that those points of view be expressed respectfully, in a manner consistent with our values, and in line with our internal policies."

Sage issued an apology, saying in a statement, "I know my recent comments created controversy for the company, and I apologize. We are in the midst of an extremely challenging time that impacts all of us, and it's more critical than ever that we communicate constructively and thoughtfully."

In her lawsuit, which was filed in 2022, her lawyers accused ESPN of relying "on the misleading characterizations of her comments" and said her employer "forced her to apologize, allowed media to destroy her, and let media reports that she had been suspended go unchallenged, and allowed Steele's colleagues to defame her in violation of company policy without so much as a reprimand."

The Associated Press reported that in June 2023, court documents showed that ESPN offered to settle Sage's claims for $501,000.00 plus reasonable attorney's fees and costs. Details on their settlement terms, however, were not made public when Sage and the company announced they'd parted ways in August.

Luxury yachts and other myths: How Republican lawmakers echo Russian propaganda

Two senior Republican lawmakers, the chairs of the House Intelligence and Foreign Affairs committees, say their colleagues are echoing Russian state propaganda against Ukraine.

Researchers who study disinformation say Reps. Mike Turner, R-Ohio, and Michael McCaul, R-Texas, are merely acknowledging what has been clear for some time: Russian propaganda aimed at undermining U.S. and European support for Ukraine has steadily seeped into America’s political conversation over the past decade, taking on a life of its own.

McCaul, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Puck News he thinks “Russian propaganda has made its way into the United States, unfortunately, and it’s infected a good chunk of my party’s base.”

Turner, chair of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, told CNN that anti-Ukraine messages from Russia are “being uttered on the House floor.”

For the past decade, since Russia’s first military incursion into Ukraine in 2014, Moscow has spread propaganda and disinformation in a bid to undercut U.S. and European military support for Ukraine, according to U.S. and Western officials.

Some of the arguments, distortions and falsehoods spread by Russia have taken root, mostly among right-wing pro-Trump outlets and Republican politicians, researchers say, including that Ukraine’s government is too corrupt to benefit from Western aid and that the Biden family has alleged corrupt ties to Ukraine.

Russia, in keeping with traditional propaganda techniques, seeks to make its case and tarnish Ukraine through a mixture of outright falsehoods, half-truths, inferences or simply amplifying and promoting arguments already being made by American or European commentators and politicians, researchers say.

The propaganda is sometimes spread covertly, through fake online accounts, or openly by Russian officials and state media. As a result, the origin of some allegations or criticisms is often opaque, especially when a certain accusation or perception has gained wide acceptance, leaving no clear fingerprints.

Early in the war, a false story boosted by Russian propaganda — that the U.S. had helped Ukraine build biological weapons labs — gained traction on right-wing social media and was touted by then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

Russia also is conducting a parallel propaganda campaign in Europe. Belgium’s prime minister said Thursday that his government is investigating alleged Russian bribes to members of the European Parliament as part of Moscow’s campaign to undermine support for Ukraine. Czech law enforcement officials last month alleged that a former pro-Russian member of Ukraine’s parliament, Viktor Medvedchuk, was behind a Prague-based Russian propaganda network designed to promote opposition to aiding Ukraine.

Here are some examples of Republican lawmakers using arguments often promoted by Russian propaganda:

Buying yachts

When Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with members of Congress behind closed doors in December to appeal for more U.S. help for his country’s troops, some lawmakers raised questions about Ukraine allegedly buying yachts with American aid money.

Zelenskyy made clear that was not the case, according to Republican Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina, a strong supporter of arming Ukraine. “I think the notion of corruption came up because some have said we can’t do it, because people will buy yachts with the money,” Tillis told CNN. “[Zelenskyy] disabused people of those notions.”

Where did the yacht rumor come from?

Pro-Russian actors and websites promoted a narrative alleging Zelenskyy bought two superyachts with U.S. aid dollars. One Russia-based propaganda site, DC Weekly , published a story last November that included photos of two luxury yachts, called Lucky Me and My Legacy , which it alleged were bought for $75 million.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., a vocal opponent of military aid to Ukraine, in November retweeted a post about the alleged yacht purchase from the Strategic Culture Foundation, a Russian-based propaganda outlet directed by Russia’s intelligence services, according to the Treasury Department. The U.S. has imposed sanctions on the organization, accusing it of spreading disinformation and interfering in U.S. elections.

Another outspoken critic of aid to Ukraine, Republican Sen. J.D. Vance of Ohio, also made a similar claim.

In a December interview with former President Donald Trump’s White House adviser Steve Bannon, Vance claimed that members of Congress wanted to cut Social Security benefits to provide more aid to Ukraine, and that money would allegedly be used for Zelenskyy’s ministers to “buy a bigger yacht.”

“There are people who would cut Social Security, throw our grandparents into poverty. Why? So that one of Zelenskyy’s ministers can buy a bigger yacht?” Vance said. “Kiss my ass, Steve. It’s not happening.”

The tale of Zelenskyy’s luxury yacht, however, turned out to be totally false . The yachts cited in the DC Weekly article remain up for sale , the owners told The Associated Press.

Two academics at Clemson University, disinformation researchers Darren Linvill and Patrick Warren, found that DC Weekly ran numerous stories copied from other sites that were rewritten by artificial intelligence engines. The articles had bylines with fake names along with headshots copied from other online sites. DC Weekly appeared to be a Russian effort to launder false information through a seemingly legitimate news site as part of an attempt to undermine U.S. support for Ukraine, according to the researchers .

Asked by reporters about Vance’s comments, Tillis said: “I think it’s bullshit. ...If you’re talking about giving money to Ukrainian ministers — total and unmitigated bullshit.”

Greene’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

Vance’s spokesperson said the senator was making a rhetorical point about how he opposed sending U.S. assistance to what he sees as a corrupt country, but was not asserting the yacht stories online were accurate.

Vance’s office referred NBC News to an earlier response to the BBC on the same topic:

“For years, everyone in the West recognized that Ukraine was one of the most corrupt countries in the world. Somehow everyone forgot that just as we started sending them billions of dollars in foreign aid.”

Enabling ‘corruption’

Russian state media for years has painted Ukraine as deeply corrupt, and has argued that the U.S. and its allies are wasting money and military hardware by assisting such an allegedly corrupt government.

“This is absolutely a line that they have pushed, and then once it appears in the Western ecosystem, other [Russian] media picks it up and it gets recycled back,” said Bret Schafer, a senior fellow at the Alliance for Securing Democracy.

This line of argument has gained traction partly because Ukraine does face a genuine corruption problem.

Russia’s effort to focus attention on corruption in Ukraine reflects a long-established propaganda method of using facts or partial truths to anchor a broader assertion or accusation, sometimes making a leap in logic, Schafer and other researchers said. Russia’s message amounts to: Ukraine is corrupt, therefore U.S. and Western aid will be stolen and wasted.

Schafer said it was ironic for Russia, a country mired in corruption and kleptocracy, to be leveling accusations about corruption.

Republican Rep. Mary Miller has said she strongly opposes more assistance for Ukraine because it amounts to sending cash to “corrupt oligarchs.”

“With Zelensky coming to DC this week to ask for more money, I will continue to vote AGAINST sending your tax $$ to corrupt oligarchs in Ukraine for a proxy war that could have ended in ‘22,” Miller wrote in a post on X in December.

The Illinois lawmaker also echoed another assertion that often appears in Russian media, that the Biden administration allegedly undermined efforts by Russia to avoid war with Ukraine.

 “A peace deal was on the table that [Ukraine] and [Russia] were both ready to sign, but Biden said NO,” she wrote.

There was in fact no proposed peace agreement that Russia and Ukraine were prepared to sign before Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, according to U.S. and European officials. As Russian troops massed on the border of Ukraine, Western governments urged Russia not to invade and warned there would be economic and diplomatic consequences.

Reuters has reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin rejected a possible deal to avert a war that had been discussed with Kyiv by Russia’s envoy to Ukraine. The Kremlin said the report was inaccurate and has said Russia tried for years to arrive at an understanding with Ukraine.

As for corruption in Ukraine, Zelenskyy has vowed to tackle the problem, sacking senior officials in some recent cases. But some civil society groups have criticized his approach and Ukrainians say corruption is the country’s second-most serious problem, after the Russian invasion, according to a poll conducted last year.

In an annual survey, Transparency International said Ukraine made progress toward addressing the issue and now ranks 104th out of 180 countries on its Corruption Perceptions Index , climbing 12 places up from its previous ranking.

Ukraine is not alone among countries that receive U.S. and other foreign aid but struggle with corruption. Supporters of assisting Ukraine argue it would undermine America’s influence in the world and its humanitarian efforts if Washington withheld foreign aid from every country where there were reports of corruption.

Miller’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

The Biden family and Ukraine

Republicans have repeatedly alleged that President Joe Biden and his son Hunter have corrupt ties to Ukraine, and that they sought $5 million in bribes from the Ukrainian energy company Burisma to protect the firm from an investigation by Ukraine’s prosecutor general.

There is no credible evidence for the allegations. A key source for the accusations against the Bidens is a former FBI informant, Alexander Smirnov, who was arrested in February on federal charges of fabricating the bribery claims. Smirnov says he was fed information by Russian intelligence.

Republicans had heavily promoted Smirnov’s allegations against the Bidens, seeing them as crucial to a planned impeachment effort against the president that has since fizzled .

“In my estimation, that is probably the clearest example of Russian propaganda working its way into the American political system,” said Emerson Brooking, a resident senior fellow at the Digital Forensic Research Lab of the Atlantic Council.

GOP Rep. Paul Gosar of Arizona cited the false bribery allegations in expressing his opposition to providing assistance to Ukraine.

“In exchange for … bribe money from Ukraine, Joe Biden has dished out over $100 billion in taxpayer money to fund the war in Ukraine. I will not assist this corruption by sending more money to the authoritarian Ukrainian regime,” Gosar said in a statement in October.

Gosar’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

5 food and service industry stocks that thames capital has been gorging on.

Jay Genzer ’s Thames Capital Management is a long/short global equity hedge fund that was founded at the start of 2017. Before launching his own fund, Genzer managed a private family office for over a decade and prior to that worked for both Cantillon Capital and Lazard Asset Management as a portfolio manager.

Thames Capital employs a fundamental, bottom-up approach to stock selection, with an emphasis on pinpointing a company’s future financial productivity, which it believes to be a key driver of returns. The fund made a huge splash in its first year, delivering returns of 31.24%. It wasn’t as fortunate in 2018, as the fund lost 6.71%, but it fared much better in 2019, posting 16.47% gains.

There was quite a bit of turnover in Thames Capital’s portfolio during Q2, mostly in the form of additions, with the fund adding 19 new holdings and increasing its stake in 14 existing positions. Let’s take a look at five of its biggest purchases during the quarter, which included several food stocks.

Pixabay/Public Domain

The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO )

- Shares Bought During Q2 : 194,337 - Value of Holding (as of June 30) : $8.68 million

- Q3 Return: 10.50%

Thames Capital was one of 59 hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey to be long The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) as of June 30. Hedge fund ownership of KO has steadily risen over the past two years after bottoming out at just 39 funds in the middle of 2018. Billionaire investing legend Warren Buffett remains one of Coca-Cola’s biggest supporters, owning nearly $18 billion in KO shares as of June 30.

Coca-Cola continues to search for new ways to counter sluggish sales of its flagship product. Its foray into coconut water, Zico, was a failure, with the company recently announcing that it was axing that brand. The next experimental drink up the company’s sleeve is a coffee-infused cola, which is expected to launch in January. Coca-Cola’s organic revenue sank by 26% in Q2 and the company believes a full recovery could take years.

Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ: SBUX )

- Shares Bought During Q2 : 33,566 - Value of Holding (as of June 30) : $7.60 million

- Q3 Return: 16.75%

While Thames Capital was fortifying its Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) position, numerous hedge funds were bailing on the stock in Q2, as hedge fund ownership sank by 21%. Covid has hit coffee chains particularly hard, with many no longer needing to commuting to work, and Starbucks’ sales are still down in response. Starbucks’ sales were still down by 11% year-over-year in August, despite enhanced curbside pick-up and drive-thru providing a much-needed boost.

Nonetheless, the stock had a big Q3, gaining nearly 17% as the recovery begins to take shape, though analysts expect a full sales recovery to take until 2022 to be realized. In the meantime, investors can at least enjoy Starbucks’ growing dividend, which has been raised by 125% over the past four years and now yields just under 2%.

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE: CMG )

- Shares Bought During Q2 : 3,422 - Value of Holding (as of June 30) : $3.60 million

- Q3 Return: 18.18%

Thames Capital was again at odds with the larger hedge fund industry when it comes to Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. (NYSE:CMG), as there was a 15% drop in ownership among the funds tracked by Insider Monkey. Eashwar Krishnan’s Tybourne Capital Management was among those saying adios to CMG shares, selling off a $134 million position in the stock.

Chipotle shares also had a strong Q3, gaining 18%, and have been one of the top performers on the S&P 500 this year. Surging digital sales, which are expected to hit $2.4 billion this year, a 140% jump from 2019, have helped offset the decline in the fast-casual chain’s dining business and are expected to account for up to half of all sales even post-pandemic.

Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE: H )

- Shares Bought During Q2 : 55,840 - Value of Holding (as of June 30) : $2.81 million

- Q3 Return: 6.12%

Thames Capital also added to its positions in Hyatt Hotels Corporation (NYSE:H) and Hilton during Q2, taking advantage of their severely depressed prices with a long-term outlook in mind. Hyatt’s RevPAR understandably sank year-over-year in July, by 76%, but the company is in a stable financial position, with enough liquidity to keep it going for another three years based on Q2 demand. 27 of the hedge funds tracked by Insider Monkey’s database were long Hyatt on June 30, down from 37 in the middle of 2018.

Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc (NYSE: HLT )

- Shares Bought During Q2 : 34,832 - Value of Holding (as of June 30) : $2.56 million

- Q3 Return: 16.16%

Hedge fund ownership of Hilton Worldwide Holdings Inc (NYSE:HLT) has been volatile recently, sinking by 25% in Q1 before rebounding with a 23% jump in Q2. Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square, which owned a mere 7 stocks on June 30, including Hilton, Starbucks and Chipotle, has rode that small portfolio to massive net gains of 47% in 2020 through the end of September.

Hilton suffered an equally devastating RevPAR decrease in Q2 as Hyatt, crashing by 81%, but a big rebound in 2021 wouldn’t be surprising, especially given the company’s robust unit growth, which hit a record 6.6% last year, and development pipeline, with nearly 400,000 rooms in its pipeline at the start of 2020, including 116,000 approved rooms.

The top 10 stocks among hedge funds returned 185% since the end of 2014 and outperformed the S&P 500 Index ETFs by more than 109 percentage points. We know it sounds unbelievable. You have been dismissing our articles about top hedge fund stocks mostly because you were fed biased information by other media outlets about hedge funds' poor performance.

No matter who owns the lavish yacht, it’s currently occupied by Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who have been traveling around Italy and France; they were spotted in Cannes earlier this week, where they were joined by Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, and dined at La Geurite, before heading to Portofino . Beyoncé has shared plenty of photos of the family’s European jaunt on her Instagram, including a snap where her youngest daughter, Rumi, makes a cameo.

The sprawling 67-foot-wide yacht does make for a rather picturesque Instagram aesthetic. The Flying Fox contains 10 bedroom suites, and can accommodate up to 25 guests as well as 55 crew members. The decor features lots of marble, limestone and cream leather, as well as rattan and coconut shell details, per Boat International .

The plush spa has oak paneling and heated limestone floors, and is equipped with a hammam, sauna and a massive pool, plus a cryosauna. There’s also a fancy gym, movie theater, a formal living room as well as a dining room with an aquarium. The owner’s suite has its own sitting room, beauty room and double dressing rooms, in addition to an ethanol fireplace.

There are no less than six decks, including a helipad perched on the very top. There’s also a DJ alcove, for whenever the guests might want to transform the aforementioned helipad into a dance floor.

Even though Beyoncé didn’t make an appearance at the Met Gala, she’s still making a true fashion statement with plenty of stylish vacation looks. And while she might not have stood on the red (well, beige) carpet, a $400 million yacht might be an even better backdrop than those famous Met steps.

Inside Beyoncé and Jay Z's insane $283 million charter yacht

Queen Bey isn't one to do things by halves, and that includes family holidays, as she and hubby Jay Z proved earlier this week when she packed up the fam bam for a lavish Amalfi Coast escape.

The duo were snapped stepping onboard a lavish super-yacht on the Italian coast with their young family in tow.

The music power couple, who collectively earned a reported $197 million (US$147 million) last year, have been living it up on the luscious Amalfi Coast in the $283 million charter yacht, dubbed Kismet.

Beyonce has even been sharing cute family photos to her Instagram, featuring Jay Z and daughter Blue Ivy, looking relaxed and donning their breezy, summer holiday best.

• Luxury Stays
• Celebrity Holidays

I'm sure you'd be relaxed and in good spirits too, if you were sailing from port to port in this extravagant vessel, which features its own beauty salon, indoor cinema and massage room.

Of course, the couple are splashing an eye-watering $1.9 million a week for the pleasure.

The yacht is owned by US self-made billionaire Shahid Khan, who also owns NFL team the Jacksonville Jaguars and Fulham FC.

The private multi-level boat, available to rent from luxury yacht charter company Moran Yacht & Ship, is 312-ft long and comes with a crew of 28 (well, someone has to steer the boat and give Bey her daily mani-pedis and massages).

The superstar has been spotted catching some rays in a swimsuit on the sunny deck, kitted out with plush lounges and armchairs.

The yacht's opulent interiors were created by the award-winning designer Reymond Langton, who reportedly took inspiration from Champagne and caviar.

The resort-chic exteriors are the handiwork of custom motor yacht designer Espen Oeino, also the naval architect behind some of the world's most famous superyachts.

The enormous boat features a full-sized outdoor pool and Jacuzzi, next to cushy sunbeds.

When you've had enough splashing around and working on your vacay tan, you can head inside to the bar area for a sunset spritzer.

The yacht can accommodate up to 12 guests — so Bey and her young family won't have to fight for a room here.

Rooms are individually decorated with unique prints, furnishings and artworks.

The boat's luxe massage relaxation room features warm tones and Oriental-leaning decor.

Just next door, guests can make good use of the whirl bath, shower and sauna (also emblazoned with art) plunge pool, and a separate steam room. 

What Beyoncé And Jay-Z's Superyacht Vacation Is Really Like, According To An Expert

Go big or go home, as they say. And when it comes to Beyoncé and Jay-Z , that meant celebrating Bey's 39th birthday by traveling to Croatia for a vacation on a superyacht . That's right, a superyacht . And yes, the name is well-deserved.

Don't believe us? Then you'll surely be interested in what Braden Sterling, Managing Director of The Agency Carmel-Pebble Beach, told Nicki Swift . That's because the expert offered some exclusive insight into what a superyacht — specifically the super-expensive superyacht that Bey enjoyed — is really like. "Some say it's all about the destination but when it comes to chartering a superyacht, it's all about the vessel and the experiences it has to offer," Sterling explained, and you're about to find out how true that is.

"There are many different types of experiences depending on the yacht," Sterling says. "I have had the pleasure of sailing on a 171 foot Perini Navi in the San Francisco Bay with a crew worthy of competing in the America's Cup. This was an experience full of adrenaline and in contrast to chartering a 100 foot Cerri Cantieri Navali on the Amalfi Coast, which is all about rest and relaxation, fine wine, dining, and 'port hopping.'" On the other hand, Sterling points out that "perhaps one prefers ... a motor yacht outfitted with water slides, jet skis, and scuba gear." Frankly, "there really is something for everyone." As for Beyoncé and Jay-Z, that something was a jaw-droppingly massive yacht with all of the luxuries they could want.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z 's chartered yacht is so big, it's a 'giga-yacht'

In order to celebrate Beyoncé's birthday in September 2020, the singer and her family chartered Imperial Yachts' LANA, a superyacht that is "top of the line as far as luxury is concerned," according to TMZ . Stretching "longer than a football field," the spacious boat offers room for "12 guests — not counting the 34 crew members it also accommodates — in 8 en-suite staterooms, 7 VIP rooms, and a master suite." There's also a "pool on the deck, a theater, a spa with professional masseuses, [and] foldable terraces," as well as the use of "a jet ski, wakeboards, SEABOBs, water skies, inflatable paddleboards, fishing equipment," and more.

Managing Director of The Agency Carmel-Pebble Beach Braden Sterling gave Nicki Swift even more information on the spectacular vessel, saying that the "yacht Beyoncé and Jay-Z charted" — which is so big it's actually a "giga-yacht" — "is special in that it was built by Benetti, a subsidiary of the Azimut Yachts company, which is based in Viareggio," which is "known as the yacht capital of Italy." Our expert noted that it's "equivalent to a luxury brand such as Valentino or Versace." That means the "[c]raftsmanship and materials are the finest," while the yacht also offers "unique amenities."

"Beyoncé and Jay-Z were the first to charter the vessel, a genius launch by Imperial to unveil their largest offering to date," Sterling noted. However, if you're interested in taking the same kind of trip, be prepared to pay a lot of money!

The superyacht Beyoncé and Jay-Z chartered costs millions per week

If you're now dreaming of taking a vacation on a superyacht like Beyoncé and Jay-Z, you should know that Managing Director of The Agency Carmel-Pebble Beach Braden Sterling let Nicki Swift in on the fact that the "associated costs with chartering a superyacht are largely based on the location, the season, and the experiences the boat has to offer," as well as if the yacht comes with "a full crew." So how much did Bey pay (unless she got it for free)? Cosmopolitan  puts the cost at over $2 million per week.

Sterling notes that there are also "mega-yachts" that are "only accessible by the elite via a personal invite from the yacht's owner." In that case, "[n]on-disclosures by all crew and captain are required, which says much about the guests and the events that take place." Considering Beyoncé and Jay-Z are two of the biggest stars in the world and have a family to protect , a non-disclosure clause seems like it would be an enticing perk.

Beyond that, Sterling shared that there will be "[c]ustomized 24-hour pampering based on pre-board guest preference sheets, in a completely private environment, with dining specific to your personal diet, amenities tailored for relaxation with all the amenities one can dream of." And, of course, "a tender that provides quick access to private beaches or port towns for dining and shopping, along with access to private clubs." Sterling assures us that it's "truly an experience like no other."

Take A Look At Jay-Z and Beyonce’s $400m Charter Super Yacht

Isaac taylor.

Got a spare $4 million floating around? If so then you can live the same life as Jay-Z and Beyonce for approximately one week. That’s how much it costs to charter the Super Yacht they’re currently chilling out taking copious shots for Instagram on.

Dubbed the Flying Fox,  the 136 metre super yacht can be chartered from Imperial Yachts, and tours you around the Mediterranean. It’s rumoured by industry insiders that this particular vessel was bought by Jeff Bezos back in 2019, but we can’t confirm or deny these rumours. Either way it’s a yacht fit for a king, or a pop queen in this instance.

It comes packed with a 12-metre transverse pool, has enough room for 25 guests in 11 rooms, complete with private sea-view terraces. It even has a 400sqm two-floor spa, for relaxing in in the evening. These come with professional dive instructors and therapists as well, of course. The exterior cooking station comes with its own cook, as well as a Rotisserie, Teppanyaki, and pizza oven.

If watching the Mediterranean coastline is totally blah, it also has its own cinema. Or if you want to get out on the water, it’s kitted out with flyboards, seabobs and three GTX300 jetskis.

Once your done and you need to get back to your media empire, it has a helipad so you don’t need to deal with the riff raff.

Last time we saw fit to discuss Jay-Z and Beyonce, it was over rumours that they were behind the purchase of the $28 Million Rolls Royce “Boat Tail” . We can at least confirm they like luxury boats, but still no concrete confirmation on whether they were the mystery buyers.

To be represented by Premium Yachts, Ferretti Yachts and Riva , two prestigious brands of the Ferretti Group, will be present at the Moscow International Boat Show 2013, displaying motor yacht Ferretti 530 as well as Riva Iseo yacht tender.

Luxury motor yacht Ferretti 530

Luxury yacht Ferretti 530 was very keen to undertake in collaboration once again with AYT – Advanced Yacht Technology, Ferretti Group Engineering Division and Studio Zuccon International Project . The compact dimensions, 16 meters long and almost 5 meters wide, allow the 530 yacht to deliver grand Italian luxury and cruising immersed in such comfort until now unheard of in a yacht of this size.

Ferretti 530 yacht boasts three revolutionary innovations: the full beam master cabin with chaise longue and two large open view windows that make it a real suite at sea level bathed in light, tones and the natural essences of teak. Moving the galley from the center to the aft section creates a unique open space that includes the saloon, galley, cocktail bar and the dining area, the cockpit area continues thanks to the tilting window. The roll bar free sky lounge and the spoiler allow the 530 a sporty appearance combined with elegantly formal lines.

Ferretti 530 Yacht - Interior

Riva , the iconic Ferretti Group brand, presented a new model at the historical Lake d’Iseo shipyards in July 2011. Featuring elegance and ease of transportation as its distinctive characteristics, Iseo superyacht tender , a 27 foot runabout, is destined to become a must-have for those who love cruising on both lakes and the sea, and, most importantly, design enthusiasts. It is also perfect for anyone wishing to enhance their yacht with an exclusive tender that will never go unnoticed.

Riva Iseo superyacht tender

Due to its ease of manoeuvrability and size, Iseo yacht tender is also ideal as a tender for large yachts. Innovative and elegant, it can also guarantee comfort in bad weather conditions. Besides the electrohydraulic bimini top, it was also designed with a waterproof, automobile-style soft top which protects those on board against water and the wind during cruising.
