iPhone 17 Air Reportedly Moves Closer To Production: What To ExpectWicked star Ariana Grande has said she and Cynthia Erivo were “insufferable” and “horrible” in the build-up to the film’s release. Grande, 31, also said her co-star was a “brilliant gift of a human being” while being interviewed by Gladiator star Paul Mescal for US news outlet Variety. Mescal told the singer and actor: “I’m watching you guys in the press tour. You’re obviously in love with each other.” To which she replied: “Insufferable. Yes. We’re horrible. It’s bad.” The 7 Rings singer plays Glinda, while her 37-year-old co-star plays Elphaba, in the film which is an adaption of the musical stage show of the same name and is set in The Land Of Oz before the events of The Wizard Of Oz.

Grande said: “We never chemistry read together, it was three rounds for me, and I read with two different actresses. “I stayed for three and a half hours the final day, and I had cried so much. “We did Popular, Defying Gravity, (and) For Good (songs from the film), and I left my lashes on the mirror, because I left everything else in the room.” The film follows Elphaba, who is misunderstood because of her green skin, as she forges an unlikely friendship with Glinda, a student with a desire for popularity. Bullying of the green-skinned witch saw the movie, which also stars Peter Dinklage, Jeff Goldblum and Jonathan Bailey, given a PG rating by the British Board Of Film Classification (BBFC) for “discrimination”.

As the battle amongst South Africa's biggest retailers continues to rage on, the tug of war for dominance in the low-cost segment is shaping up. This is particularly prevalent in the discount supermarket war between Shoprite's Usave, and Pick n Pay's Boxer. In the last financial year, Usave increased sales by 13.2% to approximately R11 billion in FY2024, while Boxer Superstores saw an annual turnover of R37.4 billion and trading profit of R2.1 billion (FY2024) With these ventures proving lucrative, these big brands are pursuing ways to turbocharge their expansion. Boxer on the JSE Boxer started as more of a rural or smaller-town operator, however, it has boomed since then. According to Pick n Pay, Boxer has a market share of 68% of the discount grocery retail market and an estimated share of 4.2% of the formal grocery market. As of October 2024, there are 308 Superstores, 162 Liquor Stores and 30 Build Stores across South Africa.

Trump calls for ending daylight saving timeLONDON, Dec 11 (Reuters) - Britain's Financial Conduct Authority is promising millions of people help with their pensions under new proposals that include offering access to free, targeted support to allow consumers to make more informed decisions about their retirement. Laying out the plans on Wednesday evening, the FCA said the proposals were part of a wider review with the government of the boundary between investment advice and guidance, adding that informed investment decisions ensured healthy capital markets. "We know people find pensions particularly difficult to understand, so we are deliberately starting with this to help consumers with their pension decisions," said Sarah Pritchard, the FCA's director of consumers, competition and international. More than 16 million people in Britain save for their retirement into defined contribution pension schemes, whose value depends on the performance of pension investments. The regulator said the vast majority of consumers were ill-equipped to manage complex pension decisions confidently and that some suffered from the "Ostrich effect", failing to ask questions because they feared discovering whether their pension pots were sufficient or not. Insurers say they would like to provide targeted advice for customers, which they see as a cheaper but useful alternative to full regulated advice. But the FCA on Wednesday suggested that targeted support should be provided by the industry for free. It pointed out that only 9% of adults had taken full regulated advice in the last 12 months, while its flagship 2024 Financial Lives , opens new tab survey showed that 75% of consumers aged over 45 do not have a clear plan for how to take money from their pension or do not know they have to make a choice. Under the proposals, firms could identify people drawing down on their pension unsustainably or help consumers who are uncertain about how to take a retirement income, offering bespoke suggestions to specific consumer groups who share the same characteristics. "This is a once-in-a-decade opportunity and it's critical everyone across the industry gets behind this theme for the benefit of savers," said Stephen Lowe, group communications director at retirement specialist Just Group. "Closing the advice gap by a meaningful amount is realistically likely to be a multi-year project. Targeted support could be a game changer and it’s the service that has generated most optimism."
