Update: Douglas Elliman, the agency which listed the home, provided the following statement to InStyle: “While we appreciate Mr. Bass and his enthusiasm for the Dilling Street property, tremendous interest in the house required a sealed, best and final bid. Our fiduciary obligation is to the seller, who decided to go with the highest, most qualified buyer. We wish Mr. Bass the best of luck in future real estate endeavors.” The house was purchased by HGTV, according to CNN.

This story has everything: A former N*SYNC member, a beloved 1960s sitcom and some shady Hollywood real estate drama.

Lance Bass, the blond who isn’t Justin Timberlake in the best boy band of the ’90s (sorry not sorry, Backstreet Boys stans) took to Instagram on Saturday to gripe about a suspect deal involving the iconic North Hollywood Brady Bunch house. (The abode was only for exterior shots, as the interior scenes were filmed on a sound stage). 

Bass claimed that he had placed a winning bid for the house — “WAY over the asking price,” which was originally $1.885 million according to Zillow — and had been told by the agent that he had won the bid for the 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom house.

“This was a dream come true for me and I spent the night celebrating amongst friends, family, and fans alike,” he wrote.

But — record scratch — things took a turn. “The next day, due to ‘unforeseen circumstances’ the same agent informed us that there’s another Corporate Buyer (Hollywood studio) who wants the house at any cost. We were prepared to go even higher but totally discouraged by the sellers agent, they will outperform any bid with unlimited resources. How is this fair or legal??” wrote Bass.

And about that conspiracy … the singer added he believed he was used as a pawn in a game of price negotiations. “I truly believe I was used to drive up the price of the home knowing very well that this corporation intended on making their offer and it’s not a good feeling. I feel used but most importantly I’m hurt and saddened by this highly questionable outcome.” 

Anyone who’s ever seen an episode of Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing knows that Los Angeles real estate market is no joke, but this is some next level drama.

Either way, we hope you find a new home soon, Lance.

Should we all be wearing pasta-sourced jewelry now? Is that what you’re telling us, Meghan??

Of course, this isn’t the first time Meghan’s accessories have drawn attention this week. HRH made us weepy on day 1 of her and Harry’s tour when she stepped out in a pair of the late Princess Diana’s butterfly earrings and a matching bracelet.

Meghan’s new grocery-chic bling didn’t make the cut for the swanky reception later that day, but we like to think the duchess made an impassioned argument for it with a royal consultant or two.

In a new interview this week, First Lady Melania Trump criticized comedians, journalists, performers and authors, claiming — without examples — that they take advantage of the Trump name.

When Fox News’ Sean Hannity asked her on Wednesday about the hardest part of her role, Mrs. Trump, 48, pointed her finger at “opportunists.”

“I would say the opportunists who are using my name or my family name to advance themselves, from comedians to journalists to performers, book writers,” she replied.

“Does it hurt?” Hannity asked aboard the U.S.S George H.W. Bush.

“It doesn’t hurt,” Mrs. Trump, who spent the day meeting military families, said. “The problem is they’re writing the history and it’s not correct.”

In February 2017, Mrs. Trump received criticism for what was also perceived by some as opportunism when her lawyer said in her libel lawsuit against Mail Media, the owner of the Daily Mail, that the first lady had a “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity … [for] multi-million dollar business relationships.”

Hannity also brought up the “speculation about you and your family and your marriage.” Multiple women have alleged that her husband, President Donald Trump, has had affairs during his marriage, which he has repeatedly denied.

On Wednesday, Trump’s ex-lawyer Michael Cohen was sentenced to three years in prison, in part for his role in arranging payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal to keep quiet about their claims of extramarital relationships with the president.

“They like to focus on the gossip,” Mrs. Trump — who said that she and the president, 72, “had great chemistry from day one” — said of her critics. “And I would like to they focus on the substance and what we do, not just about nonsense.”

Earlier this year, she similarly told ABC News that Trump’s alleged affairs are “not concern and focus of mine.”

“I know what is right and what is wrong and what is true and what is not true,” she stated at the time.

Of her role, Mrs. Trump insisted to Hannity that “I do what I think is right.”

“I know I will get the criticism from the public or from the media but I will do what is right and what I feel is right for the country and for the people,” she said in the Wednesday interview. “That’s what I say: I want to say true to myself and listen myself and what to do and what is right, what is wrong, and lead meaningful life every day.”

Hannity questioned whether Mrs. Trump would like to see her husband win a second term.

“I think my husband, he’s doing an incredible job,” she responded. “The country does best ever. So yes, I want that the country continue to do well.”

The New York Times‘s Katie Rogers points out that the hat has become a symbol of the exploitation of Africans given its history as part of the uniform of colonialists in the early 19th century.

“When people think of Africa, they have these standard narratives,” Kim Yi Dionne, a political science professor who specializes in African politics at the University of California, Riverside, told the Times. “Her attire is a signal of her understanding of what Africa is in 2018. It’s tired and it’s old and it’s inaccurate.”

A resident of Nairobi, Pauleen Mwalo, wrote on Twitter: “That Pith helmet you have carried was used by colonialists during the dark days. Doesn’t sit well with us Africans.” 

She added, “Who advised you?”

The First Lady’s offensive headwear choice comes just months after her explosive, “I really don’t care do u?” jacket. If her goal in Africa was to mend relationships — which may have been suffering following the President’s alleged “shithole countries” comment earlier this summer — she seems to have missed the mark completely.

Taylor went on to discuss Tennessee’s senatorial candidates, throwing her support behind Democrat Phil Bredesen.

“Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives.”

She continues with a plea for her followers to “Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values,” and a call-to-action for those who can to register to vote. 

“October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN,” she wrote. “Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting!”

As Twilight Zone-esque as Taylor’s comment feels, it’s encouraging to hear her finally using her voice — not to mention, her massive platform — to promote her beliefs.

Almost anyone would agree that the transition from co-stars to romantic partners is as embedded in Hollywood culture as the Golden Globes, celebrity feuds or highly-publicised cheating scandals. So when we learnt of yet another on-screen duo turned potential real-life romantic couple, naturally, our ears pricked up and our eyes began scanning the web for evidence.

Case in question: the rumoured relationship between Euphoria co-stars Zendaya and Jacob Elordi, which began when the pair was spotted in Greece together on August 30. According to E! News, Zendaya and Elordi were caught out in the background of a tourist snap, captured while touring the Acropolis in Athens.

But while E! News was quick to undercut their claims—pointing out that the actress was not alone on the trip after she posted a video with her stylist, Law Roach, in addition to evidence that her fellow Disney alum Darnell Appling is also on the trip—another publication jumped in to support romance rumours.

Us Weekly, who had a source on-site in Greece, reported via an eyewitness that “they looked like they were getting a little cozy,” and “at one point, they were walking with each other and being a little flirty”.

All other points aside, Zendaya has just celebrated her 23rd birthday on September 1. So this trip the two embarked on, along with the group of her nearest and dearest, may also have just been a big overseas birthday bash.

Meeting on the set of Euphoria—Sam Levinson’s raw and candid HBO drama which gives a perspective into high-school life today—Zendaya and Elordi play rivals Rue and Nate, respectively, on-screen rivals who are both vying for the character of Jules (played by Hunter Schafer), creating quite a big deal of tension between the two.

So with evidence for, and countering, we can’t exactly purport to make this real-life relationship official. But considering that romance rumours followed Zendaya and her Spider-Man: Homecoming co-star Tom Holland following the film’s release in 2017—and until very recently—we can deduce two things: one; the actress most-likely keeps mum on her relationships and their statuses, and two; considering her privacy, there’s all the chance in the world that her and Elordi could definitely be an item.

But if there’s one member of the rumoured pair that is most likely to give us the confirmation we’re all waiting for, we’re calling it and saying that Elordi would be first up to the plate. Having publicly confirmed and debuted his relationship with now ex-girlfriend, and The Kissing Booth co-star, Joey King in the past, the actor seems to be a little less shy to publicise his romances.

Spring has sprung for another year, bringing with it beautifully blooming gardens, warmer weather and the urge to clean out, start again and take charge. It’s a season of revitalisation, new growth and renewal, which as cliché as it might sound is exactly how most of us feel once the sun peeks out from beneath wintery clouds and it’s finally warm enough to show our toes again. 

While spring cleaning might not always happen in spring (let’s be honest, there’s nothing quite like a Queen’s long weekend winter spruce), the season does evoke a serious desire to start fresh, making it the perfect time to embrace new design themes and update your interiors for the months ahead. And as with every year, there’s plenty of new styles, shapes and materials to try out. 

In order to stay ahead of the masses, we quizzed Lauren Keenan, a Sydney interior stylist and founder of Lauren Keenan Home
, about exactly which new-season trends we should all be trying out. Her answers are enlightening, with Keenan picking out eight must-have styles to try now. From dark marble to the return of boucle cottons — yes, boucle is making a comeback — the below themes are likely to be everywhere in the next few years, joining the millennial pink-hued ranks of design’s most-lauded moving into the 2020s.

Embracing maximalism
We’ll be seeing more and more of this fun trend over the coming months. Maximalism is all about indulgence and hedonism, with a cheeky sense of humour. Rather than having one hero piece in the room, every item makes a statement. Look for sofas in bold hues and accessorise with metallics and large-scale plants.

Boucle
Boucle is a popular trend for upholstery fabrics this spring. The irregular loop style of this fabric provides an interesting texture to cushioning. Use as accent texture in scatter cushions, or make a bold statement by using on a sofa or occasional chair.

Curves and circles
Curves are back in a big way this spring. We’re seeing them in everything throughout interior architecture – they are a great way to break up all the rectangles in a space. And the good news is that you can easily embrace this trend in your own home. Look out for arched mirrors, rounded bed heads and accessories with semi-circle elements.

Statement tiles
Inspired by the beautiful bathrooms in traditional Italian and Spanish design, statement tiles will make a big comeback this spring. Escape the cookie cutter white and grey aesthetic and embrace a tile with colour and pattern. Look for tiles in shades of sage, terracotta and smokey blue to create a spa-like experience at home.

Mustard hues
Mustard yellow is spring’s It colour for interiors. It has an uncanny ability to work with most palettes. A fan of pale pink? Mustard gives it depth. Smokey grey sofa? Mustard provides the pop. It’s also the perfect foil to a largely white room, providing an often needed focal point. It can be as simple as a throw on the sofa or an artwork featuring some mustard tones.

Dark marble
Marble is an enduring favourite for interiors, but this spring sees a departure from the milky white and pale pink versions that have been popular for the last couple of years. For a fresh take on an old favourite, make a statement with much darker tones like black, deep red and bottle green. This season you’ll see coffee tables and accessories in these bold marble colours.

Biophilia
With spring here, we all feel the need to reconnect with nature. And as the weather warms up, the trend is to invite the natural world into your home through green life, botanical artworks and objects and a nature-inspired colour palette. Better yet, merge your indoor and outdoor spaces by using similar styling items like pots and cushions.

Modern Art Deco
A new interpretation of Art Deco will make its way into our homes this spring. We see decorative rounded patterns alongside more angular and geometric forms. The overall look is fresh and playful, but a slightly more pared-back and modern version of Art Deco. While the colour palette still features some jewel tones, like sapphire blue, they’re tempered by more minimal sandy tones. Metallics are less high shine, more matte.

Prince Harry wants you to travel smarter—and more sustainably.

Over the past decade, travel across borders has ballooned: Last year, people worldwide took more than 1.4 billion international trips, and come 2030, that number will hit 1.8 billion. And while trip-taking is fantastic on an individual level—it’s educational, it’s eye-opening, and most of all, it’s fun—it can take a toll on its surroundings: see, the overcrowding of historic cities like Dubrovnik, the “public safety crisis” of the California poppy fields, or the damage caused to Machu Picchu.

To address this, the Duke of Sussex just launched a new travel initiative, Travalyst. Travalyst aims to make travel more eco-friendly, beneficial to local communities, and low-impact. (The meaning behind the name? Travel plus catalyst equals Travalyst.)

“Travel has the unparalleled power to open people’s minds to different cultures, new experiences, and to have a profound appreciation for what our world has to offer,” he said in a statement. “As tourism inevitably grows, it is critically important to accelerate the adoption of sustainable practices worldwide; and to balance this growth with the needs of the environment and the local population.” And it’s not just the palace backing him up—corporate heavyweights TripAdvisor, Booking.com, Visa, Ctrip, and Skyscanner are all partners in the program.

Although Buckingham Palace said further details about specific initiatives will be announced later, we do have an idea of the agenda Travalyst will promote. In a press release, it stated “supporting local people, protecting wildlife, tackling climate change and environmental damage, and alleviating over-tourism,” as its main goals.

It’s a natural fit for the noted conservationist, who has taken a stand against elephant poaching, and counts the African Parks Foundation and Rhino Conservation Botswana as some of his patronages.

While meeting with reporters on Tuesday, Prince Harry also addressed the recent controversy over his private jet use, noting that he does travel “99 per cent” commercial, while admitting, “We can all do better. And while no one is perfect, we are all responsible for our individual impact. The question is what we do to balance it out.”

Plus, with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s tour of Southern Africa coming up, perhaps some of these green travel tips will be on full display.
