AA Milne's first Pooh book was published a century ago in October 1926. Generations of children loved it, but its inspiration, the author's own son, told the BBC that he took to "running away when people bring up the subject".
"Pooh, promise you won't forget about me, ever. Not even when I'm a hundred." This is the plaintive cry made by Christopher Robin to his teddy bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, in the final chapter of The House in Pooh Corner.
British novelist and playwright AA Milne needn't have worried. The first Winnie-the-Book was published 100 years ago in October 1926, and introduced a cast of characters modelled on the author's son and the soft toys he played with: lovably dim Pooh Bear, nervy Piglet, hyperactive Tigger, pessimistic Eeyore. Far from being forgotten, in the century since then the characters have taken on a life far beyond the parameters of their idyllic home, the Hundred Acre Wood.
BBC Radio 4, Desert Island Discs: Christopher Milne, 13/11/1976
From 1966, they became the subject of animated and live-action Disney films, in what is now one of the highest-grossing media franchises of all time. Pooh Bear has even courted controversy in Poland for being "inappropriate", sparked memes mocking the Chinese president Xi Jinping, and prompted tongue-in-cheek pop-culture theories in which the residents of the Hundred Acre Wood have been "diagnosed" with different psychological conditions.

Melania Trump made a case for wardrobe repetition by bringing back her slit-front Maison Ullens skirt for her latest outing. The former model accompanied her husband, President Donald Trump, to cast their ballots during early voting at the Palm Beach County Supervisor of Elections on October 24.

Melania Trump's outfit for the outing struck a delicate balance between approachable civic duty attire and high-end designer sophistication. She wore a high-waisted, camel-beige pencil skirt crafted by Belgian luxury fashion house Maison Ullens. She originally sported it during a trip to Brussels, Belgium, in May 2017.
The archival piece is made from soft leather tailored into geometric, paneled segments. Fine tonal contrast stitching outlined each panel, creating a grid-like structural detailing across the front and hip seams. The skirt featured a mid-length hem falling just below the knees. Moreover, a clean vertical slit at the center-front, offered ease of movement while adding a subtle modern edge to the traditional pencil silhouette.

It gave her upper half an effortless feel. The light blue hue provided a flattering contrast against the warm beige tone of the skirt. Tucking the shirt into her skirt's waistband highlighted her natural waist.
Trump completed her look with classic Christian Louboutin Patent Pigalle 120 Pumps in Nude. The glossy patent leather shoes featured the brand's signature red soles, pointed toes and a 120 mm stiletto heel. They not only elongated her frame but also paired well with the skirt.

Adrianne Curry blasted Victoria's Secret for the runway appearances of Kylie Jenner and Alex Consani at the 2026 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
During a YouTube live stream on Monday (Oct. 19), the 44-year-old America's Next Top Model season one winner criticized the brand's direction and shared her frustrations alleging the brand selects established celebrities and influencers over unknown talent and models.
"They have no standards anymore and it's a joke. Anyone can walk in it," Curry said in near the 52-minute mark in the video linked here. "They turn down famous Victoria's Secret models who f**kinglook great to put a transgender person in there and a f**kingKardashian."
She then turned her criticism to Consani, who is transgender, saying, "Dude, it'd be one thing if the trans model looked like a f**kinglady boy from Bangkok where you couldn't tell at all and it's like the most beautiful f**kingwoman you've ever seen in your life. That's not what happened."

The Penthouse Pet accused of stealing from older men has hired an Israeli attorney who is trying to get her extradited to her home country — a day before a judge will decide if she is competent to stand trial.
Lawyer Tai Sharki told The Post about his plans to spring former model Adva Lavie from LA County Jail, where she has been locked up since Beverly Hills police spotted her without her ankle monitor in July.
Sharki, who once served a lengthy prison sentence himself, said he was retained by Lavie "just a couple days ago" and described her jail stay as "traumatic."

Investing.com -- Shares of Chipotle Mexican Grill (NYSE: CMG) and Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) swung sharply Thursday following a Financial Times report that Starbucks has explored a potential acquisition of the burrito chain.
Before you buy NVIDIA: our AI model's stock picks are beating the market by 120%+. See the list now »
Chipotle shares initially jumped as much as 8% following the report, while Starbucks fell as much as 6%. Both stocks later pared those moves as investors weighed the potential implications of a deal.
Whispers of a potential tie-up had circulated previously, including a report from Semafor, but the speculation was largely dismissed by the market at the time. The Financial Times report carries greater weight, indicating that Starbucks has worked with advisers in recent months on a potential proposal for Chipotle, which currently has a market value of nearly $39 billion.
The sharp divergence in the stocks, however, could complicate the financial mechanics of a potential transaction. Starbucks' declining share price would reduce the value of any equity used as consideration, while Chipotle's rally increases the price Starbucks would need to pay for the company. The status of Starbucks' plans, including whether it has made a formal offer, remains unclear.

Hurricane Isaias, the first hurricane of the Atlantic season, is expected to strengthen when it approaches the northern Gulf Coast on Friday, prompting mandatory evacuations, school closures in parts of Florida and the threat of a life-threatening storm surge, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Isaias is forecast to make landfall within the warning area late Friday or early Saturday, according to the National Weather Service, which warned of damaging hurricane-force winds. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Isaias was expected to remain a strong hurricane throughout this period.
It is unclear exactly where Isaias might make landfall. Current models show the center of the storm coming onshore anywhere from eastern Mississippi to the western tip of the Florida Panhandle.
The NWS said residents in portions of the Florida Panhandle, southern Alabama, some parts of Mississippi, including the south, should "prepare for the possibility of long-duration power outages."
The governors of Florida and Alabama declared states of emergency for dozens of counties. Okaloosa County in Florida announced mandatory evacuations for some coastal areas. "Residents should take this storm seriously and evacuate," the county government said in a news release.

Much of President Donald Trump's second term has focused on changes to the nation's capital.
But his ambitions to remake the physical architecture of the presidency transcend Washington: Trump wants to transform his West Palm Beach golf club into a presidential retreat modeled after Camp David.
Subscribe to The Post Most newsletter for the most important and interesting stories from The Washington Post.
The plan calls for a parcel of the private club to be designated a permanent, official sanctuary for foreign leaders and future U.S. presidents, designed to host international summits and house presidents when they take vacations in Florida, according to a proposal presented to Palm Beach County officials by Trump International Golf Club's legal counsel. Future presidents would also be offered comped memberships to the Trump club.
"Just as Camp David, Windsor Castle, or the Elysee Palace are known worldwide, so too will the Presidential Golf Course in Palm Beach County," Harvey Oyer, a lawyer representing the Trump course, wrote to the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners in a letter last month. Oyer asked the county, which owns the property the course is on, to provide a piece of the land to the federal government, and he promised Trump would pay for the construction of a presidential residence and facilities on that land.

Heidi Klum just brought a very special plus-one to Paris Fashion Week, and the mother-daughter duo is turning heads. The supermodel, 53, stepped out with her youngest child, 16-year-old daughter Lou, for the Vivienne Westwood show. It was the teen's Fashion Week debut, and she proved that she's been taking notes from her stylish mom. The pair coordinated in chic peplum silhouettes and towering platforms.
Heidi Klum and daughter Lou coordinated in peplum looks at the Vivienne Westwood show. Lou, whose dad is singer Seal, usually stays out of the spotlight, which makes this sweet outing even more special. A video from the event shows the two posing side by side in front of a white backdrop splashed with bold orange and red brushstrokes. They look relaxed, happy, and completely in sync.
Heidi went for a glamorous all-white moment. Her ivory satin blazer features a deep plunging neckline, sculpted shoulders, and a single gold ******* on at the waist. She paired it with a matching floor-length satin skirt that skimmed the ground. The model mom finished the look with a sparkling statement necklace and her golden blonde waves styled loose and tousled.
Lou, on the other hand, brought a warm and earthy twist. The teen wore a ******* on-front, corset-style mini dress in a washed brown print. The fitted bodice features thin straps and a scooped neckline, while the flared peplum waist adds a playful touch of movement. The design is a perfect nod to Westwood's famous love for dramatic corsetry and tailoring. She accessorized with a gold bangle and let her dark, voluminous curls fall naturally around her shoulders.
The most eye-catching part of both outfits is the footwear. Lou towers in patterned platform sandals with ankle straps, done in rich brown and red tones that match her dress. Heidi's blue platform shoes peek out from beneath her skirt in a closing shot, adding a fun pop of color to her neutral outfit.

AGNC Investment has seen a mix of setbacks and gains in recent years, which raises a straightforward question for anyone looking at the stock today: Is the current share price meaningfully supported by the returns the business earns on its capital base?
Over the past 3 years, AGNC Investment has delivered a total return of about 48.1%, which puts real weight on whether those past gains are grounded in sustainable returns on the equity it deploys.
The mortgage REIT model relies on how efficiently AGNC Investment can fund and reinvest its portfolio. The valuation story therefore hinges on whether that capital structure can keep generating attractive excess returns after funding costs and hedging.
What if you looked at AGNC Investment through its earnings instead? See what AGNC Investment's 4.9x P/E says about the price.
For investors, the debate is whether AGNC Investment's current price fairly reflects the level and quality of the returns it earns on its capital.

Google and Constellation Energy announced a 20-year power purchase agreement on Tuesday to bring 890 megawatts of new nuclear capacity onto the PJM Interconnection grid, with Constellation committing more than $4.3 billion to fund the build-out.
The capacity will be generated through turbine, steam generator, and digital control system upgrades at 11 Constellation nuclear units in Illinois, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, the companies said. The first uprate is expected to be delivered by 2028. The agreement is expected to sustain roughly 4,400 existing jobs and create approximately 7,200 new construction jobs during the building period.
Alongside the power purchase agreement, the companies entered into a separate 15-year energy supply agreement covering an additional 2,700 megawatts from Constellation's existing fleet in the PJM market, the company said.
"We're committed to meeting our growth responsibly by actively investing in clean, reliable power that brings new capacity to our nation's grids," Amanda Peterson Corio, global head of energy and power at Google, said in a statement. "Our agreement with Constellation to fund nuclear reactor uprates will strengthen the PJM grid, which serves 67 million people, all while protecting energy affordability and supporting local union jobs."
Joe Dominguez, chairman, president and CEO of Constellation, said in a statement that the collaboration "can serve as a model for how technology companies and the energy industry can work together to responsibly develop the digital economy."

A man who has dedicated his life to raising money for children with life-limiting conditions was left stunned when Tom Cruise walked in during a fake interview.
Lloyd Kembrey, 30, from Bristol, travelled to London believing he was filming a documentary about fundraising, only to be surprised by the actor, who congratulated him on his extreme fundraising challenges.
Cruise said at the meeting, which was staged by the One Show: "I'm here to give you one big thank you. I've done a lot of wild things and stunts, but when I heard about [his] adventure, I just thought, I gotta meet this guy."
Kembrey, who raises money for charity Jessie May, added: "I couldn't believe it. I'm just really grateful."
The trusts' former CEO Daniel Cheesman described Kembrey as a "role model to all of the children and young people that Jessie May supports".

For decades, Heidi Klum has been one of the world's most recognizable supermodels, captivating fans with her confidence, charisma and timeless beauty.
From her breakthrough days on the runway to her reign as a television star, producer and entrepreneur, the German-born icon has never been afraid to embrace her glamorous side.
Heidi has a refreshing take on her workouts, being that her go-to is N.E.A.T., which stands for Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis.
The philosophy behind it is incorporating exercise into your everyday routine, such as taking the stairs over the elevator, and doing household chores, instead of committing to a dedicated time in the gym.
She revealed to The Times: "I also run around a lot, having four kids. I don't have an ******* istant, so I don't have people pack for me or carry my things, I do everything myself. I eat right, I never exercise too much or do heavy weights. People can push themselves too hard. I listen to my body."

Costco is famously rooted in Washington state, with its headquarters in Kirkland (which is also the name of its signature brand) and its first official store operating out of Seattle's industrial SoDo neighborhood. But did you know that the wholesale club behemoth can trace its true origins much further south, and to a famous connection? As it turns out, a line can be drawn from Costco to Howard Hughes, the famous movie producer, aviator, and eccentric business tycoon.
Among his many properties, Hughes once owned a rather large warehouse in San Diego, California, that was eventually turned into an early wholesale store called Price Club. It went on to merge with Costco in the 1990s, forever cementing the Costco-Hughes connection. Sure, it may not be the strongest celebrity-Costco connection ever, and Hughes himself never set foot inside one of the chain's stores, but it's one that Costco can be proud to have as part of its storied history nonetheless.

While it's unclear exactly how long Howard Hughes' San Diego building served as a hangar, or if any remodeling was done prior to its wholesale club days, what is known is that it reopened as Price Club in the summer of 1976 after being purchased by local businessman Sol Price and his son, Robert. It looks pretty similar today compared to old photos of the building in its Price Club days and as an aviation hangar, with its vaulted ceilings and massive walls. The coolest part though? If you're a history buff in San Diego, you can actually go shop at the Costco that once housed Hughes' airplanes (assuming you're also a Costco member, of course). The store sits on Morena Boulevard, at the exact same address as its preceding incarnations.

Gisele Bundchen is soaking up quality time with her family in New York City. The supermodel was recently photographed on a relaxed day out with her 13-year-old daughter, Vivian, and the two looked more alike than ever. Their easygoing style quickly caught the attention of fans online. From long, wavy hair to laid-back denim looks, the mother-daughter duo made a simple stroll look effortless. The sweet outing offered a rare glimpse into their everyday family life.
Gisele Bundchen and her daughter Vivian enjoyed a family day out in the city. According to an X post, Bundchen was joined by her husband, Joaquim Valente, and Vivian, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Brady. The group strolled down a leafy, sunlit street while fallen leaves dotted the sidewalk. Photos show mother and daughter chatting as they walked, with Vivian glancing toward her mom. The mood looked calm, cheerful, and completely unhurried.
Bundchen kept her look casual and comfortable. She wore a classic white tank top with loose, wide-leg jeans in a soft blue wash. A dark leather belt with a gold buckle added a polished touch. She completed the outfit with sunglasses, chunky sneakers, and a slouchy dark shoulder bag.
Vivian wore a cropped black tank top with relaxed, light-wash jeans. She draped a cream knit layer over her shoulders and carried her phone as she walked. Cozy tan slip-on shoes finished her outfit. Like her mom, she wore her long hair down in loose waves.
Known for making simple basics look effortless, Bundchen seems to have passed on the secret to Vivian. Both leaned into relaxed denim and a simple palette of white, black, and faded blue. Good jeans, a clean top, and comfortable shoes made for a stylish yet practical outfit for a walk around the city.

Any semblance of sizzle has been pounded out of McDonald's (MCD) stock.
Shares of the high-calorie fast food seller dropped below $230 for the first time in more than four years on Monday.
Today's move is being driven by a relatively bearish note from Guggenheim ******* yst Gregory Francfort.
"It seems difficult to get positive on shares now without better evidence of a catalyst path over the next 12 months," Francfort said. "1Q27 comparisons do seem to get a lot easier than the Street models, which could be a catalyst, but we would like to see fundamental reasons that MCD's franchisees are buying into entry level value menu efforts or ops improvements than can drive traffic."
Francfort maintained a Neutral rating on McDonald's stock.

Fashion Week is all about the front row, yet one moment away from the runway stole the spotlight. Moving through a busy, stone-arched hall, David Beckham kept his daughter Harper's hand firmly in his. The protective gesture became a highly talked-about image from Victoria Beckham's PFW show, where David and their kids turned out to cheer her on.
Victoria Beckham recently presented her Spring/Summer 2027 collection at Paris Fashion Week. The show was held in the historic Conciergerie, a former prison where Marie Antoinette was held, and models walked past candlelit rows of guests, including Eva Longoria.
The Beckhams made it a family evening. Three of David and Victoria Beckham's kids, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, joined him. Romeo's girlfriend Kim Turnbull and Cruz's girlfriend Jackie Apostel were also there. Then came the moment fans noticed. In a short clip posted on X, David walks a step ahead, holding Harper's hand as they make their way through the guests.
Harper wore a deep plum dress with a fitted bodice, spaghetti straps, and a softly gathered neckline that appears to have a delicate lace-style trim. The skirt fell in a fluid, floor-grazing line that moved as she walked beside her dad. She kept the accessories minimal, with a fine pendant necklace at the collarbone, and wore her long blonde hair loose past her shoulders.
The dark, rich color sat well alongside David's black suit and the muted tones of the stone hall. In the family portrait, Harper's dress also stood out against the neutral and grey tailoring worn by the others. It is an endearing snapshot of a father keeping his youngest close in a packed room. A family portrait from the night shows David and Victoria's kids and their partners posing with their parents beside stone pillars.
