Netflix is suing two performers who turned their TikTok posts about Bridgerton into a stage musical. The streaming giant accused Abigail Barlow and Emily Bear of copyright infringement after they launched The Unofficial Bridgerton Musical in Washington, D.C. The pair are due to perform the show at the Royal Albert Hall in September. Barlow and Bear began posting about the historical drama last year on TikTok , where they have 2.4 million followers, creating songs based on the show and its characters. Initially, Netflix was a fan of their work, tweeting last year that it was “absolutely blown away" by their online efforts. However, the service was less enamoured when Barlow and Bear released an album - which won a Grammy for best musical theatre album - and launched a string of sell-out performances. Pair 'stretching fan fiction well past its breaking point' In a 25-page lawsuit filed in the federal court in Washington, the company said it warned the defendants not to go … [Read more...] about Netflix sues performers over unofficial Bridgerton musical

British defence experts expressed alarm yesterday after Donald Trump suggested he might undo a multi-billion dollar stealth fighter project that is to form a core part of the United Kingdom's defensive capabilities. The president-elect took a casual shot at the F-35 programme for the world's most advanced fighter jet tweeting on Monday that the cost was "out of control". "Billions of dollars can and will be saved on military (and other) purchases after January 20th," he wrote, indicating a change in strategy after his inauguration. Boeing is building a brand new 747 Air Force One for future presidents, but costs are out of control, more than $4 billion. Cancel order! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 6, 2016 But defence experts told this newspaper there would be disastrous consequences for Britain if Mr Trump were to put the plan on the scrap heap at this late stage. "If the US were to cancel the programme in its entirety tomorrow, the UK would … [Read more...] about Defence experts warn of ‘disaster’ for Britain after Donald Trump suggests undoing ‘out of control’ F-35 fighter jet project

It might be hard to believe but we might have found the secret formula to getting over a hot, sweaty day with the kids at a theme park. Fairmont Windsor Park has launched a Legoland package and while kids’ days out and luxury don’t often go hand-in-hand, we thought we would give it a try to see if it’s worth the hype. We can confirm, yes it was. Parents will know that a day out at a theme park needs some psyching up, not only is it mentally taxing but also physically – especially if your little one is too young to ditch the buggy but wants their own independence to march around. Legoland is a wonderland for children of all ages. It was busy, with some rides up to 60 minutes long, meaning they were quickly ruled out as my two-year-old does not have the patience to wait that long so I would definitely advise on getting an upgrade on the tickets to fast track. Racking up the steps, you find yourself in awe of the majestical sculptures built out of Lego which was totally … [Read more...] about Can you make a theme park trip luxury?

Published 1 day ago Share close Share page Copy link About sharing Related Topics Edinburgh Festival Fringe Dancers from the Ukrainian Freedom Ballet company have been dreaming of performing at the Edinburgh Festivals for several years. When they booked their slot three months ago, the company's male performers had to be given special dispensation from Ukraine's culture minister to travel. Most men have been banned from leaving the country during the five-month long conflict with Russia. Pavlo and Igor are among those who will return to war duties at the end of the month. "It's like a joke we're here," said Igor. "Because every year in summer we have so much work in Ukraine - a lot of projects, big shows - so this year it's not a good reason we cannot work in Ukraine, so we decided to be here." Igor's wife and two daughters left Ukraine in the early days of the war … [Read more...] about The Ukrainian ballet dancers waiting for a call to war
