A woman from a low-income family in China crossed over into Hong Kong to get to a concert she had spent months saving up for.
It was a trip that Beijing’s vast surveillance apparatus didn’t miss. Now her family face the prospect of losing their government benefits for splurging on “high-end consumption.”
The incident has sparked massive debate across Chinese social media over whether those receiving benefits are also entitled to small luxuries. It’s also a reminder of the staggering extent of the Chinese government’s surveillance system, one turbocharged by advances in AI and the embrace of digital payments.
The story first surfaced in a post on popular site Red Note in early September by a user who said they were the young woman’s cousin.
The woman, surnamed Huang, had “worked hard doing manual labor and saved up from the subsidies” to pay for the concert ticket and expenses of traveling to Hong Kong, around 235 miles (380 kilometers) from her home in Jiangxi province, the post said.

Amid the news that Macklemore has been dropped as an opener from Ed Sheeran's North American tour, the rapper has alleged that New England owner Robert Kraft intervened to get him removed.
In a lengthy statement posted on Instagram, Macklemore alleged that Kraft had called Sheeran ahead of the singer's concert at Gillette Stadium, which is owned by Kraft. In what Macklemore called a "f***ed up position" for Sheeran, Kraft allegedly barred Macklemore from performing in the stadium and had "rallied" other stadium owners to issue an "ultimatum."
"Last Monday, in the middle of all the media attention surrounding Pink and what I said at MetLife, Ed told me that Robert Kraft called him," Macklemore wrote. "Ed told me that Kraft said I would not be allowed to perform in his stadium. Ed also told me that Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues."
Macklemore opened for Sheeran on Sept. 4 and 5 at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium. During his performance, Macklemore called for a "Free Palestine" in a speech before performing his song "Hind's Hall," which was written in support of pro-Palestine protests. The performance drew criticism from many, including singer P!nk, and received a significant amount of media attention.
Macklemore, whose real name is Benjamin Haggerty, has been vocal about his support for Palestine in recent years, something that he said challenged Sheeran's "typical apolitical stance."

NEW YORK (AP) — Bob Mackie, the fashion designer whose visually provocative Hollywood style defined glamour for the 1970s — including putting Carol Burnett in some of her kookiest getups and Cher in her raciest ones — died Monday. He was 87.
"He lived his 87 years to the fullest, fulfilling his dream of being a Fashion and Costume Designer, which is all he ever wanted to do," a read statement on his social media accounts. "His genius and extraordinary designs will live on forever, continuing to bring beauty into this world."
Dubbed the "Designer to the Stars," Mackie won nine Emmy Awards, a Tony Award and was nominated for three Oscars, including one for Barbra Streisand's "Funny Lady," in which she wore a sheer batwing gown. He was inducted into the Academy of Television Arts & Science's Hall of Fame in 2002.
He designed gowns for Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Sharon Stone, Diana Ross and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and concert costumes for Pink. When Marilyn Monroe delivered a breathy, seductive take on "Happy Birthday" at a fundraiser for President John F. Kennedy and the Democratic National Committee, she did it in a sheer, beaded gown that Mackie dreamed up in a sketch.
His influence can be seen in the styles of Kendall Jenner and Bella Hadid. His archival pieces are worn today by the likes of Anya Taylor-Joy, Miley Cyrus and Zendaya, the latter who wore a Mackie gown to honor Cher at the 2024 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. When Taylor Swift wanted to look like a showgirl on the cover of her 2025 album "The Life of a Showgirl," she turned to some Mackie originals.

The Princess of Wales never fails when it comes to providing us with sartorial inspiration.
But while we simply love her royal style, sometimes we like to hark back to the days before she was the future queen to help us conjure a fashion epiphany.
Kate looked sensational in the 2007 ensemble (@ UK Press via Getty Images)
If your autumn wardrobe is on your mind, then look no further because this particular look from the senior royal is one we cannot wait to recreate.
Cast your minds back to 2007: Kate and her then-ex-boyfriend, Prince William, were "on a break" from their relationship, and reports of a reconciliation were rife. Kate made an appearance alongside her brother, James Middleton, at The Concert For Diana at Wembley Stadium.

A whole new generation is about to be introduced to one of the most beloved boy bands of the 1990s when Taylor Hanson begins his dance journey on Dancing With the Stars. The middle Hanson brother is partnered with Britt Stewart in Season 35 of the dance competition.
And he'll certainly have a strong support system as he takes on this challenge. In addition to his brothers, the 43-year-old singer will have his wife, Natalie Bryant, and their many kids cheering him on. Scroll down to learn more about his family.
Taylor and Natalie got married in June 2002, two years after they met. She mostly lives her life out of the public eye, homeschooling her and Taylor's kids.
Natalie started the baby-naming consultation company Modern Moniker with Zac Hanson's wife, Kate Hanson, in 2020, but their Instagram account stopped posting in 2021. Over the years, she has also written various pieces about parenting, including a monthly recurring column for TulsaKids. She previously had her own blog, as well, but the domain is no longer up and running.
Taylor and his two brothers/bandmates, Zac and Isaac Hanson, all met their wives at their own concerts. Zac and Taylor met their wives at the same show in Atlanta in 2000. Taylor was 17 at the time.

It's been a long wait for this day to get here, but now we can finally turn the page to (I hope) more constructive play and move on from the UVA debacle. So what are we keeping our eyes on in the bigger picture tonight?
1.) Find at least the beginnings of an identity offensively. NC State's performance at Virginia was so bad as to look incoherent, and the offense wasn't on the field enough to develop a rhythm, much less discover its most important foundational aspects. Pretty much nothing worked, and what did—or could have—worked, often wasn't well-executed. The Pack has to take the opportunity presented by Richmond to start sorting itself out and establish concepts that work. Where's the bread and ***** er?
2.) To that end, who are the playmakers in this offense? We know that NC State would like to lean on Duke Scott and certainly he has better days ahead of him, but I'd like to see a more concerted effort to get Victor Snow the ball tonight. We learned next to nothing about the passing game in Week 0—well, nothing good, anyway—and still don't really know what we've got at receiver. It might end up essential for Snow to get 8-10 touches each week, and now's a good time to figure that out. I won't be surprised if Keenan Jackson is a focal point, either.
3.) What does this defense look like when it isn't in a bad position for 60 minutes? They were set up to fail by the offense in the first game, and Virginia never had to get out of its conservative comfort zone. Still the defense did some good things against actual handoffs, and needs to build on that. Richmond shouldn't have much of a downfield passing game to speak of, and I want to see how the defense performs against more regular passing downs.

Pop star Pink is under fire online for resharing an anti-Israel message and then following it up with a series of Instagram posts directed at her detractors.
Macklemore, whose real name is Benjamin Hammond Haggerty, supported British musician Ed Sheeran on stage at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey in a show called Loop Tour on September 4 and 5. Donning a keffiyeh in front of an 80,000-strong audience, the rapper shouted "Free Palestine" and addressed Gaza and the occupied West Bank, saying that they are not being forgotten.
"Every human being walking on this earth deserves exactly the same freedom," he added, as reported by Variety.
The rapper then performed his protest song "Hind's Hall," which featured flashes of Gaza on the stadium screens. Macklemore referenced Hind Rajab, a young Palestinian girl killed in Gaza, named after student demonstrators at Columbia University who renamed a campus building in her honor. The rapper then addressed Jewish concertgoers, saying that criticizing Israel and condemning their actions as genocide is not a condemnation of Jewish people and that his message is a message of peace and dignity for everyone.
American pop diva, whose legal name is Alecia Beth Moore Hart, posted a video with the message "Awful" to her Instagram Story, claiming that Jewish fans who came to see Sheeran's performance are exposed to propaganda against Israel. According to Pink, Macklemore's speech and video presentation amount to a false accusation of genocide, and people who came to the concert are entitled to "apologies and refunds."

The way that we dress often reflects how we feel – and vice versa, what we wear can impact our mood, too. It's why we often turn to jogging bottoms and hoodies when we're depressed, or dressing fabulously when we're happy. Indeed, many of us dress for how we want to feel, with the dopamine-inducing effects of clothes becoming a popular sartorial philosophy. This is certainly the case for 58-year-old Canadian singer Celine Dion, who has debuted a series of frivolous and fun looks ahead of her comeback concert on September 12.

The singer – known for hit Nineties power ballads including My Heart Will Go On and It's All Coming Back To Me – will perform 10 shows over five weeks at the Paris La Défense Arena, after taking a six-year break due to ill health. She suffers from a rare neurological condition, Stiff Person Syndrome, which causes stiff muscles in the arms, legs and torso, and can be extremely painful. At one point, the syndrome made it difficult for Dion to sing.
Following years of treatment, Dion is now ready to perform again. And her attitude to fashion proves it, as she's showcased a variety of different sartorial personalities in the run up – from tailoring with jeans, to the classic "little black dress".

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were their daughter North West's biggest cheerleaders at her solo debut concert. The SKIMS founder and her rapper ex-husband split in 2022, after seven years of marriage. The former couple showed up separately to support their 13-year-old daughter's big career milestone.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West might be exes, but they have maintained a co-parenting relationship for their kids, including daughter North, sons Saint, 10, and Psalm, six, and eight-year-old daughter Chicago. The reality star and her ex showed up at North's first solo debut concert at The Vic Theatre in Chicago on September 4. However, they kept their distance at the venue.
In a video shared to X (formerly Twitter), West could be seen recording his daughter's performance on his phone on one side of the balcony. Meanwhile, Kardashian was enjoying it from the other side, sporting a sleeveless black dress. She wore her long, dark hair in a slicked-back ponytail.
The rapper was wearing a brown leather jacket over a white tee. For his lower half, he opted for black leather pants. He pulled his sunglasses onto the crown of his head as he stood with his phone pointed towards the stage where North was performing.
The 13-year-old wore a white military-style jacket adorned with metallic buckles, introducing a Labor Day-inspired twist to her look. She paired it with a ruffled white skirt and matching white boots. Her neon blue hair was styled in high pigtails, complete with a lacy white bonnet. Her signature dermal piercing and a full face of glam completed her look.

Pink faced backlash after reposting a statement from an advocacy group calling for an apology from Macklemore for advocating for Palestinians during his opening act for Ed Sheeran in New Jersey.
Pink reposted the message from the group StopAntisemitism on her Instagram stories. The message started with the word "Awful," suggesting that Jewish fans had purchased their tickets to see Sheeran but instead experienced what it referred to as anti-Israel propaganda. According to the group, the Seattle rapper had accused Israel of falsely committing a genocide, and concertgoers were owed an apology and a refund. Pink did not comment and has not yet given a reason for posting the message.
Macklemore, whose real name is Benjamin Hammond Haggerty, performed for Ed Sheeran in MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Sept. 4 and Sept. 5 as part of his Loop Tour. Dressed in a keffiyeh, the rapper told the crowd of more than 80,000 people that he wanted to stand in the stadium and say, "Free Palestine." He mentioned that he hoped people in Gaza and the occupied West Bank knew they had not been forgotten and that every human being deserved freedom.
Macklemore then sang "Hind's Hall," a protest song he released in 2024, as images of Gaza played on the stadium screens. Moreover, the rapper spoke directly to the Jewish audience, saying that criticizing Israel was not criticizing them.
His performance led the Israeli American Council to file a petition asking Sheeran and his management to remove the rapper from other tour dates. The petition referred to his show as a concert and not a rally for activists and politics. It also claimed that Macklemore used his global platform to promote a one-sided political agenda. The petition asked whether the speech and visuals were approved before the event.

Taylor Swift was reportedly keeping her distance from Ed Sheeran after a political controversy followed his MetLife Stadium shows. The longtime friends remained close, but an insider claimed Swift wanted to avoid being pulled into Macklemore's Palestine message.
Macklemore, who joined Sheeran's tour as a special guest, called for "Free Palestine" during his set. He also performed "Hind's Hall" while images from Gaza appeared behind him, turning the concert into a political flashpoint.
Rob Shuter revealed on his Substack that Swift was deliberately creating some distance from Sheeran after the performance. A source told his Naughty But Nice column, "Taylor wants no part of this."
"She loves Ed, but she is incredibly careful about what becomes attached to her name," the source continued. "She isn't inheriting somebody else's political controversy because they're friends." The report did not suggest Swift had ended her friendship with Sheeran. Instead, the insider described the move as a matter of protecting her public image.
"This isn't Taylor turning against Ed," the source said. "It's Taylor protecting Taylor. She knows one text, one photograph, one comment can become an international headline."

The San Francisco 49ers put forth a concerted effort to upgrade their wide receiver room this offseason because it lacked talent last year, and they were set to lose Jauan Jennings, who eventually signed with the Minnesota Vikings.
With that knowledge, San Francisco brought in Mike Evans, Christian Kirk and Deebo Samuel in free agency and took De'Zhaun Stribling in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. However, Kirk has landed on injured reserve, and Ricky Pearsall is out for the season, so the team could look to add more at the position.
Interestingly, Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox recently predicted that the 49ers will send a conditional 2027 fifth-round pick to the Buffalo Bills for Keon Coleman.
Coleman played collegiately at Michigan State from 2021-22 and at Florida State in 2023, earning All-Conference honors twice. In 34 games between the two schools, he caught 115 passes for 1,506 yards and 19 touchdowns.
Buffalo took Coleman in the second round (No. 33 overall) in the 2024 NFL Draft, and through two years, Buffalo has been disappointed by the results. The 26-year-old has caught 67 passes for 960 yards and eight touchdowns in 26 games so far.

Excluding IT and cash, the Fund contributed 12.73% versus 15.89% for the Russell 2000 Value Index; on a fully invested basis, the figures were 16.62% and 17.59%, respectively. The portfolio continued to trim appreciated technology holdings amid the AI-driven rally, while maintaining a bottom-up approach and avoiding beaten-down SaaS stocks due to the widening range of AI-related outcomes. The fund also eliminated about $62 million in capital gains during Q2 and approximately $140 million year-to-date through July, while ending the quarter with 10.2% in cash. In addition, please check the Fund's top five holdings to know its best picks in 2026.
In its second-quarter 2026 investor letter, FPA Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund highlighted stocks like Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQ:SFM). Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQ:SFM) operates a specialty grocery chain focused on fresh, natural, organic, and health-oriented food products. The one-month return of Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQ:SFM) was -2.69% while its shares traded between $64.75 and $141.24 over the last 52 weeks.

FPA Queens Road Small Cap Value Fund stated the following regarding Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQ:SFM) in its Q2 2026 investor letter:
Sprouts Farmers Market (NASDAQ:SFM) is a supermarket chain focusing on fresh, natural, and organic products. The company has strong operating margins, attractive returns on capital, and excellent new store economics. Through April 2025, SFM's stock performed extremely well in concert with strong revenue growth and rising earnings estimates. As SFM's valuation increased, we trimmed our position in late 2024 and early 2025. Then, when growth slowed in the second half of 2025, SFM's share price collapsed. Today, SFM trades at a low-teens multiple of forward earnings and we are comfortable holding a mid-sized position.

Christina Aguilera is giving a rare glimpse into family time with her 12-year-old daughter, Summer Rain.
The 45-year-old Grammy Award-winning singer shared a photo of Summer, among other pictures from her summer, in an Aug. 29 Instagram post. In the rare mother-daughter photo, Aguilera is seen wearing an American flag T-shirt and leaning against her daughter, who sat on the hood of a light blue car, wearing jeans.
"Summerween," Aguilera captioned the post, which also included photos of romantic moments with her and fiancé Matthew Rutler, with whom she shares her daughter.
Despite maintaining an active presence on social media, Aguilera rarely shares photos of her children. Earlier, in March, she posted a reel recapping her family's visit to Costa Rica's La Paz Waterfall Gardens & Wildlife Refuge. The video featured clips of herself, Rutler and Summer enjoying their trip.
Before that, her daughter appeared in the 2025 documentary and concert film "Christmas in Paris."

Harry Styles made a coy reference to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Madison Square Garden nuptials while performing at the venue on Saturday night.
Styles did not make it to Swift and Kelce's July 3rd wedding, but his fiancée Zoë Kravitz did attend.
Styles and Swift briefly dated in 2012 and 2013 and are now friends.
Harry Styles didn't need to name-drop Taylor Swift to get his Madison Square Garden crowd screaming.

Harry Styles did not say Taylor Swift's name at Madison Square Garden. He did not say Travis Kelce's name either. He still gave the crowd an easy one to catch.
Near the end of his August 29 concert, Styles started talking about the building itself. "We're at Madison Square Garden, home of the world champion New York Knicks!" he told the audience, according to Variety.
Then he added five more words: "And they also do weddings."
The audience reaction filled in the rest. Swift and Kelce married at the same arena on July 3, less than two months before Styles brought his Together, Together residency to New York.
Styles delivered the line late in Saturday's show after praising Madison Square Garden and the Knicks. Video from inside the arena shows him leaving a pause before the wedding joke.

Harry Styles appears to have had a little fun with his ex-girlfriend Taylor Swift's recent wedding to Travis Kelce.
During his Saturday night performance at Madison Square Garden in New York City, the 32-year-old singer made a playful reference to the venue's connection to the newlyweds.
While wrapping up his show as part of his residency at the iconic arena, Styles pointed out that Madison Square Garden is the home of the New York Knicks.
"And they also do weddings," he added with a cheeky grin, according to fan-captured footage from the concert.
The comment seemingly marked Styles' first public acknowledgment of Swift's marriage to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end.
