Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz Announce Pregnancy
While Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz might be one of those ultra-discreet Hollywood couples who you might not even know are married, the two became public with a very big announcement: they’re expecting their first child. The two married in 2011 after meeting on the set of horror film Dream House. This week, Weisz told The New York Times, “Daniel and I are so happy. We’re going to have a little human. We can’t wait to meet him or her. It’s all such a mystery.”

The most influential people around the world have been rounded up and announced by TIME magazine for 2018.

Saint Laurent Sets Its Sights on NYC
According to WWD, Saint Laurent will leave its ultra-glamorous show location in Paris and head to New York City on June 6th for a special presentation. While many brands have been leaving New York City for Paris, Saint Laurent is reversing course, showing a collection of both menswear and womenswear. The exact location is TBD – as is the nature of the show – leaving us to wonder if this is a replacement for its Spring/Summer 2019 show (which would typically happen in September) or a standalone event.
