Jacinda Ardern, 41, New Zealand Prime Minister, can’t be married after all. “My wedding will not take place,” she said after the announcement of stricter corona measures that are now in force in New Zealand because of the omicron variant. These provide for a maximum limit of 100 fully vaccinated participants for events. The new restrictions should apply at least until the end of next month. Ardern and her longtime partner Clarke Gayford hadn’t announced a date for their wedding celebration, but it was thought to take place in the coming weeks. “That’s life,” Ardern said when asked how she felt about her canceled wedding reception.

Pete Davidson, 28, US comedian, and Colin Jost, 39, known from the show “Saturday Night Live”, have bought a New York landmark: Together with other investors, they bought a 57-year-old ferry for $280,100 (247,000 euros), which operated between Manhattan and Staten Island until last summer wrong and has now been auctioned off by the city. The iconic Staten Island ferries bring thousands of New Yorkers to work every day. But they are also popular with tourists because the ride is free and passes close to the Statue of Liberty. The comedy stars want to turn it into a venue for live entertainment, according to television network NBC. The buyers now have two weeks to find a permanent berth for the orange ship and have it towed there by tugboats.
Harry Wijnvoord, 72, Dutch moderator, who brought refrigerators and garden furniture to the public in the 90s in the television show “The price is hot”, goes under the Schlager singers. He told the German Press Agency that his song “Wind in the face” should capture the wanderlust during the pandemic. Wijnvoord himself recently “had to get out” and therefore traveled to Fuerteventura with his wife. “I finally want to get out again. I want to see the beauty of foreign countries. And with people I like, I dance into the new day,” reads a line in “Wind on my Face”. Wijnvoord appeared as a singer as early as the 1990s, when the songs bore titles such as “Women’s Choice in Arenal” or “Yes, Grandma wants to go to Palma.”
Julia Fox, 31, American actress and new girlfriend of musician Kanye West, 44, refuses to find her new partner attractive simply because he is famous and rich. Speaking on her podcast Forbidden Fruits, she said West just fits her prey pattern: “Honestly, I’ve only dated millionaires my entire adult life.”
