In the world of entertainment, British singer Boy George is delving into the concept of celebrity culture through art. His new collection, 'Fame', features portraits of icons like David Bowie, Madonna, and Prince, alongside a self-portrait. The collection, in collaboration with Castle Fine Art, launches this Friday.

In literary news, collectors have a chance to acquire a rare typescript of 'The Little Prince' by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, valued at $1.25 million. This novella, cherished worldwide, comes with handwritten corrections by the author, making it a significant literary artifact.
On the political front, superstar Beyoncé is set to join U.S. presidential candidate Kamala Harris at a Texas rally. This appearance aims to bolster support for Democratic Senate candidate Colin Allred in his race against Republican Ted Cruz, with topics like abortion rights taking center stage.
Lastly, Disney faces a setback in Italy where a court has blocked the release of 'Avetrana - This is not Hollywood'. The series, based on a real-life Italian crime story, was halted following a mayor's complaint about its impact on the town's reputation.
