The White House Correspondents Association, which advocates for press access to the White House and the president, said it was “deeply disappointed” that the White House declined its request for press coverage of Naomi Biden’s wedding. The Biden family will pay for all wedding activities, White House officials have said. Naomi Biden and Neal exchanged “I do’s” during a nippy late-morning ceremony — temperatures were in the low 40s — in front of guests seated in white folding chairs. The South Portico of the White House, facing the lawn and the Washington Monument in the distance, was decorated with wreaths and garland bearing white flowers.

This fountain was erected with the contributions of friends of Major Archibald Wallingham Butt and Francis Davis Millet, who lost their lives on the RMS Titanic in April 1912. Both were widely know in Washington's cultural, social, and political circles. On July 7, 1919, the first transcontinental military motor convoy, destined from San Francisco, California, started from this spot. On June 5, 1920, Congress authorized the erection of a permanent monument here, and the Lee Highway Association presented it as a gift to the city on June 4, 1923. In November 1923, First Lady Grace Coolidge gave permission for the District of Columbia Public Schools to erect a Christmas tree on the Ellipse south of the White House.

Ms. Biden and Mr. Neal live at the White House, according to two people familiar with their situation. In April, Mr. Biden introduced himself as “Naomi Biden’s grandfather” at a White House event celebrating the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. In October, Ms. Biden stood beside her grandparents in a pink wig — her grandmother’s was purple — and handed out Halloween candy to trick-or-treaters.

In addition, property owners shaped — and sometimes stymied — coastal development. “Landowners and developers … prevented the building of transit infrastructure and skyscrapers along the coast,” she said. The agency is the law enforcement arm of the Department of Justice and its origins go back to President George Washington who appointed the first 13 marshals in 1789. Five years later, Robert Forsyth was the first of over 200 Marshals arid Deputies killed in the line of duty, according to the agency.

This room was once called the Fish Room because President Franklin D. Roosevelt used it to display an aquarium and his fishing mementos. In 1969, President Nixon named the room in honor of Theodore Roosevelt for building the West Wing and Franklin D. Roosevelt for its expansion. In addition to covering the walls with hand-painted striped wallpaper, President Obama added a new oval-shaped rug, which is made of 25% recycled wool. This rug features the Presidential Seal in the center and five historical quotations of meaning by Martin Luther King, Jr. and Presidents Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy around its border. Other notable furnishings in the Oval Office are the two paintings that flank the south windows.

Mr. Neal is the son of Dr. Mary C. Neal and Dr. William C. Neal of Jackson Hole, Wyo., and graduated from law school at the University of Pennsylvania in May. WASHINGTON — President Biden’s eldest granddaughter, Naomi Biden, plans to get married on the South Lawn of the White House this fall in the first wedding ceremony to be held at the White House in nearly a decade. Biden called the nations’ alliance “ironclad” and delivered a stark warning to Pyongyang during a joint news conference Wednesday afternoon in the White House Rose Garden. President Thomas Jefferson first opened the White House for public tours because he understood then, as we do now, that this house belongs to the American people. In our country, the halls of government are not reserved for a privileged few, and the President’s workplace should be no exception.

But Ms. Biden, who grew up staying with her grandparents at the vice president’s residence — where they installed bunk beds for their grandchildren — did not take this approach. Instead, she and Mr. Neal decided to plan the wedding “as a private celebration for their friends and family,” said a person familiar with their wishes. WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden ‘s granddaughter Naomi Biden and Peter Neal were married Saturday in just the 19th wedding in the history of the White House, exchanging vows on the lawn in unseasonably cold temperatures in front of scores of family and friends. In June 1971, some 400 guests watched as Nixon walked Tricia down the steps of the South Portico to a waiting Edward Cox, and the couple exchanged vows in a gazebo set up in the Rose Garden for the first wedding ceremony ever held there. Seated reservations are available to senior officials including commissioned officers, Cabinet Secretaries, and their guests. Staff located in the West and East Wing can enjoy food made in the Navy Mess from a take-out window located adjacent to the dining hall.

It’s the first White House wedding with a president’s granddaughter as the bride, and the first one ever on the South Lawn. The reception was held in the first lady’s garden, followed by dinner in the State Dining Room and dancing in the East Room. President Bill Clinton played his saxophone; daughter Chelsea was a bridesmaid. Hillary Clinton had first offered Camp David, the official presidential retreat in Maryland’s Catoctin Mountains, for the wedding, but later on suggested the Rose Garden, Nicole Boxer said.

The Great Hall, 225 feet long and 62 feet wide, was originally used as the Patent Search Room for more than three million patents catalogued by the Department of Commerce. In celebration of our country's two hundredth birthday, the Hall became the Bicentennial Visitor Center in 1976. "That wedding was the first outdoor wedding at the White House that happened in the Rose Garden," Fling said. "It actually almost rained and ruined the first outdoor wedding. It was a misty day in June, and luckily the sun came out right before the event." President Biden often speaks about his relationship with his grandchildren, saying he talks to them every day. Naomi Biden called a family meeting in 2019 in which the grandkids urged Biden to run against Donald Trump.

That’s where the population centers are,” Deverell said, resulting in downtown L.A.’s skyline getting a head start in development compared to other parts of L.A. They constructed a plaza, church and other buildings on a site that was adjacent to a Tongva community, said Eric Avila, a professor of history, Chicano studies and urban planning at the University of California, Los Angeles. Throughout California’s history, Indigenous rights were consistently and violently undermined via forced labor, religious conversion efforts, displacement and attempts at historical erasure. "I ask that all Charlotteans keep them, the other injured officers, and their families in your thoughts and prayers during this incredibly difficult time," Lyles said in the post.

In October 2013, Barack Obama’s chief White House photographer, Pete Souza, and Patti Lease married in a private ceremony in the Rose Garden after 17 years of being a couple. Obama had gotten to know Lease because she attended some White House events. Stewart McLaurin, president of the historical association, said special occasions at the White House aren’t soon forgotten.

The U.S. Digital Service and the Presidential Innovation Fellows program are bringing top technologists into the federal government to tackle our nation's most important challenges. From modernizing our immigration system, to improving our veterans' access to benefits, to increasing access to cancer clinical trials, these teams are using design and technology to build a more awesome government for all Americans. Visitors could meet the team on the South Lawn to see demos of their work and learn how we can all help bring public service into the 21st century. From the early days of the Homebrew Computer Club to our modern-day wearables, knowing how to connect the dots on electronic boards is a foundational skill for our digital age.

Since the address of the White House is 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, and the North Lawn faces Pennsylvania Avenue, the South Lawn is sometimes described as the back lawn of the White House. Palos Verdes Peninsula and Orange County viewers can watch on Cox Systems on channel 99. And the Port of Los Angeles, officially founded in 1907, further reinforced downtown L.A.’s importance as a commercial center.

"Peter and I are endlessly grateful to my Nana and Pop for the opportunity to celebrate our wedding at the White House," Naomi Biden, a 28-year-old attorney, tweeted in April. Only one person in the Biden family couldn’t resist breaking family protocol to talk about the wedding. White House advisers have said very little on the record about the wedding, except to relay that the Biden family would handle all costs related to the event. He slips his grandchildren $20 bills and makes it a rule to answer the phone whenever they call. Ms. Biden published a compilation of voice mail messages he left her during the presidential campaign — “Just called to tell you I love you,” he said in several. Stewart McLaurin, president of the White House Historical Association, said it’s important to remember that first families are families first and foremost.

Guests began arriving hours before the ceremony, with some women opting for open-toed shoes despite the chill. The Rose Garden helped unite two Democratic political families when Anthony Rodham, a brother of then-first lady Hillary Clinton, and Nicole Boxer, a daughter of then-California Sen. Barbara Boxer, exchanged wedding vows in May 1994 during a private ceremony. He and Lease exchanged “I do’s” in the presence of about 30 family members and friends. They felt overwhelmed by the venue, but were honored by the president’s gesture, he said. Five weddings were held in the East Room, four took place in the Blue Room and two unfolded in the Rose Garden, steps away from the Oval Office. “If you were to have the privilege of celebrating a holiday there or a special occasion in your life, like a wedding, it is a very memorable occasion,” he said.

"Yesterday we all witnessed a truly historic moment, presided over by the vice president. There are moments that people go back in history and they're literally historic. Consequential. Fundamental shifts in American policy," Biden said. "I will tell you, her braids are just a little longer than yours. But as I wrote to her, I told her what I knew this would mean for her life and all that she has in terms of potential," Harris said. "So indeed the road toward our more perfect union is not always straight. And it is not always smooth. But sometimes it leads to a day like today." That tally includes a recent flurry of bills affecting transgender people, including legislation recently passed by Republican governors vying for the 2024 presidential nomination. The event, which the administration described as the largest Pride event hosted at the White House, was initially scheduled for Thursday, but was postponed because of poor air quality from hazardous air flowing in from Canadian wildfires.

The artist inscribed the name “Simon Willard,” an important clock maker at the turn of the nineteenth century. It was redesigned by First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy to serve as a Presidential reception area. In 1902, President Theodore Roosevelt relocated his office from the second floor of the residence to this newly constructed building. The West Wing has expanded and undergone several renovations since then, but it has remained the official workplace of the President. The south lawn provides space for the president's helicopter, Marine One, to land directly on the White House grounds.

“Every single day, Deputy U.S. Marshals and Task Force Officers put their lives on the line to apprehend some of our country’s most dangerous criminals," Garland said in a statement. "Today, three of those dedicated public servants made the ultimate sacrifice. Multiple other officers were critically injured while carrying out this operation to protect their community." SXSL hosted panel discussions throughout the day that explored how leaders in art, technology, food, innovation, and social change are helping to move the country forward. Interactive booths gave attendees a hands-on opportunity to engage with and learn about new products and types of content that are transforming how we interact with our world.

Yoon is expected to meet with studio executives from Disney, Sony Pictures and others at the Motion Picture Assn. headquarters in Washington on Thursday. Yoon’s visit is a “springboard for connecting Korea to this broader web of alliance relationships in the region, whether we’re talking about security cooperation [or] economic security issues ... And interacting with other stakeholders in the region, including Southeast Asian countries and Pacific Islands,” said Nicholas Szechenyi, deputy director for Asia at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a Washington-based think tank. In 2000, the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room was named in honor of former Press Secretary James Brady. He was shot and disabled during a 1981 assassination attempt on President Ronald Reagan.

As the official office of the President and his primary place of work, the Oval Office provides the President with easy access to his senior advisors and the Executive Residence. Also known as the “45 second commute,” the West Colonnade was built for Thomas Jefferson to run alongside service spaces underneath the West Terrace, such as the ice house and storage rooms for coal and wood. The open columned walkway is now used by the President and his staff to travel between the West Wing and the Executive Residence.

"A day of promise, a day of progress, a day when once again the moral arc of the universe... bends a little more toward justice," he said. Children "also tell me that I am a role model, which I take both as an opportunity and as a huge responsibility," she said.

Naomi Biden was walked down the aisle by both of her parents, according to a source who spoke on the condition of anonymity because it was a private event. The bride wore a Ralph Lauren wedding dress and changed into a Reem Acra dress for her reception. Neal wore a three-piece Ralph Lauren suit for the ceremony and a Ralph Lauren tuxedo for the reception. President Joe Biden's eldest granddaughter, Naomi Biden, married Peter Neal on Saturday on the White House's South Lawn in front of some 250 guests.

"Our hearts are heavy tonight for the lives shattered by today's horrific shooting in Charlotte, NC. We mourn the loss of our Deputy and two Task Force Officers," the U.S. "We are grateful for all the support, and we keep the families and colleagues of all officers involved, in our thoughts." North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper said in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, that two officers killed were working with the U.S. Marshals task force at the time and were from the state Department of Adult Correction. The Starbucks Upstanders Booth offered an interactive experience to inspire attendees by sharing stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things to create positive change in their communities. Attendees will have an opportunity to record and share their own Upstander story.

The Rose Garden (sometimes referred to as "The presidents Garden") is located south-west of the main residence along the west colonnade, just outside the Oval Office. The Jacqueline Kennedy Garden is located south-east of the main residence along the east colonnade. The garden was dedicated by Lady Bird Johnson as the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden on April 22, 1965, although it has been called the "First Lady's Garden" by some later administrations. Marshals agents plus officers, from local law enforcement agencies such as state police, county sheriff, local police department, and even local probation officers and investigators from the District Attorney’s Office, McCarron said. The current White House Kitchen Garden was planted on the lower South Lawn by First Lady Michelle Obama in 2009. The garden provides locally grown vegetables, fruits, and herbs for the first family and White House guests.The garden continues a long tradition of growing vegetables and fruits on the White House Grounds.

But the May 1994 wedding of a brother of then-first lady Hillary Clinton and the daughter of then-U.S. Sen. Barbara Boxer — the first since Tricia Nixon’s marriage — was closed to the press. Clinton’s spokesperson commented afterward and the White House released a photo. There have been 18 documented weddings in the 200-plus-year history of the White House. Nine involved a president’s daughter, most recently Richard Nixon’s daughter Tricia in 1971 and Lyndon Johnson’s daughter Lynda in 1967.

Following tradition at military weddings, they used Robb’s sword to make the first cut of their wedding cake — a 6-foot-tall, 250-pound cake with raisins decorated with sugar scrolls, roses and love birds. The couple met because Robb was assigned to the the White House as a military social aide. Among the approximately 250 guests were President Biden and his wife, Jill. A spokeswoman for the first lady said the wedding was expected to be held on Nov. 19.

Walk through the $1 million (£792,300) master bathroom, trimmed in gold and Calacatta marble, and make a left. Keep walking, through the personal theater and the wine cellar, and you will arrive at an elevator. It is straight out of James Bond, a pneumatic tube that sends you up to the roof deck like a deposit at a drive-thru bank. Once you’re there, take a dip in the private pool or catch some rays on the balcony, which wraps around every inch of the place. The mansion is a roughly 15-minute drive from the DRV PNK Stadium (pronounced “Drive Pink”), where Messi’s Inter Miami currently plays. “I came here to play and to keep enjoying soccer which is what I loved my whole life and I choose this place because of all those things,” he said.

Before Messi, fans were able to attend Inter Miami games for a measly $22. Seats for Messi’s July 21 opening day match against Cruz Azul are going for over $1,000—and up to $10,000 for VIP packages—on resale sites. The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer goes way back with Leo and Antonella, having been married to Gerard Piqué, who was Messi’s teammate in Barcelona. And while the World Cup winner could have joined any team on the planet, including an extravagant offer from Saudi Arabia of $1.6 billion over three years, Messi chose Miami, which has a familiar lifestyle to his native Argentina. What remains harder to visualize is Messi playing in MLS and for Inter Miami, a last-place team that, until now, has struggled to fill its stadium. Roitberg believes what Messi experienced two years ago in the city will be magnified once he calls it home.

Ocean Drive is celebrating Formula 1 and their May/June cover star, Sofia Resing, at Tala Beach Club at the 1 Hotel South Beach. The fun party will feature delicious cocktails and a captivating music performance by Pietro. Partners Montecristo, Body Armor Flash IV, Golden Goat, La Croix, Yave Tequila and more will be present to provide guests with a complete experience. Groot Hospitality and Almave distiller Iván Saldaña are set to introduce a non-alcoholic drink menu. The mocktails will be available at Grutman’s other restaurants Komodo and Gekkō throughout the summer.

Those two weeks in Miami may have given Messi a glimpse of what the twilight of his career could look like. Residents parked their boats outside Roitberg’s home, chanted Messi’s name and pleaded for autographs. Neighborhood parents dropped their children off at the gates of Roitberg’s mansion at 7 a.m.

The team’s Instagram went from 1 million to 8 million followers since the big announcement, making it the number one account for any sports franchise in America. However, with Inter Miami in last place at the moment, Messi won’t have time to visit his other properties. There’s a lot of work to do to bolster his new team’s MLS standings. In 2022, the couple bought a property on Ibiza’s western coast from Swiss businessman Philippe Amon for $12 million.

"There are four athletes in my lifetime who saw the line of expectation and the occasion, and they outdo it every time. Those are Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, and Lionel Messi," explained Twellman. "What I'm talking about is the expectation and delivering. Tom Brady wasn't expected to do this from Day 1. Lionel Messi was. Tiger Woods was. Michael Jordan was. Ali was." Record producers Chris Jedi and Gaby Music are hosting an immersive event filled with live performances, interactive pit stops, and unforgettable moments that showcase the essence of Miami. David Velasquez of @mixingwithdavid is hosting a hands-on cocktail making master class experience in YOTEL Miami‘s intimate community area, Revolve. Contestants will compete in high-performing Oracle Red Bull Racing branded simulators to virtually race on the Miami Grand Prix track and have the opportunity to go head-to-head with Red Bull athlete and FIA Formula 3 driver Sebastian Montoya.

It’s easy to see Messi living here, and in Miami, with its beaches, high-end restaurants and massive Argentine population, which might even offer Lionel Messi a taste of home. Pordes can’t help but launch into a sales pitch, speaking of Miami’s appeal and rattling off A-listers who have a home in the area. Messi’s bear of a dog would be more than welcome in the building, Kaufmann says, and the place is centrally located between Miami proper and the training facility in Fort Lauderdale. At Nahuen Gourmet Market, located on Collins Avenue, a photo of Messi kissing the World Cup adorns the entrance. “Crimen,” a 2006 hit song by the late Argentine rocker Gustavo Cerati, plays over the speakers. The delicious smell of handmade dulce de leche empanadas and hot sandwiches welcomes visitors in search of nostalgia and a taste of Argentina.

Miami has traditionally proven to be a safe hub for real estate investors, many of whom come from overseas. Messi's jaw-dropping new home also features a cinema, golf and racing simulators, which offers perfect downtime opportunities for his family. The 60-floor tower is situated between Bal Harbour and Aventura and is located 25 minutes away from the Inter Miami stadium. The Porsche Design Tower, which was built in 2017, is the perfect place for the family to settle down in America, as the forward wants his three children to go to high school in the States before going to university.

He is said to have owned—and may still—a $7 million estate near Barcelona, a $5 million condo in Miami and a sprawling property with a 15-car garage, theater and gym in his hometown of Rosario, Argentina, according to Architectural Digest. Built in 1988, and last sold to John and Stacy Dickerson for $9 million in May 2022, the property features eight bedrooms and 10 baths in over 10,500 square feet of living space. The large private compound hosted a gym, spa, theater, pool, a large terrace for lounging and barbecuing, and a personal-sized soccer field to practice and play on with his three young children and his huge French Mastiff named Hulk. Inside, the modern home was decorated in cozy neutrals and boasted views of the Mediterranean Sea and the Catalan hills from its numerous terraces and sprawling floor-to-ceiling windows. The mansion was conveniently located only 12 miles from Camp Nou, the FC Barcelona soccer stadium. Due to environmental restrictions, the property was in a no-fly zone, providing an added bonus of privacy and serenity for the famous athlete.

The Argentine superstar has already made his mark by leading Inter Miami to a victory in the Leagues Cup, bringing in new sponsors and selling out games in minutes. Lionel Messi is purchasing a nearly $10.8 million waterfront mansion in a South Florida suburb, after a blockbuster contract lured the soccer superstar to the US. The mansion features modern architecture and Mediterranean-themed indoors, with hardwood floors and spacious living areas.

Carroll said the Bay Colony neighborhood competes with Sea Ranch Lakes. Lionel Messi was looking for privacy, luxury and space in his hunt for a home in South Florida. 'From an investment point of view, I think he got himself a fair deal at about $1,029/SF in one of the nicest waterfront communities in that area, especially as it seems to be turn-key,' says The Corcoran Group's agent Michael Wiesenfeld. Soccer star Lionel Messi recently bought this $10.75 million home in the Bay Colony community of ... Matthew Geagan is a sports writer and producer for CBS Boston and wbz.com.

Messi’s move to Florida prompted lots of speculation as to where the millionaire player will settle down. Apartments in the 60-floor tower, which stands 641 feet tall between Bal Harbour and Aventura, currently range between $4.3 million and $32.5m in value. Just four single-family homes are on the market, ranging from $4 million to nearly $9 million. “I see [prices] going up further because there is even more demand for these private communities now,” said Chad Carroll, a top broker at Compass who focuses on Fort Lauderdale.

Messi also has a property at Sunny Isles Beach in Florida, a $7 million estate in Barcelona and a $5 million condo in Miami.

In 2021, author and social media influencer Patrick Bet-David set a record in the neighborhood with his $20.4 million purchase of the mansion at 141 Bay Colony Drive. Messi’s 10,500-square-foot mansion, with eight bedrooms and nine and a half bathrooms, includes a 1,600-square-foot primary suite. The property’s 170 feet of water frontage and deep water dockage mean Messi will likely be looking for a yacht to rent or purchase — if he doesn’t have one already.

Messi, however, leads the business game with his expanding luxury hotel chain. Despite its eight-figure price tag, the 10,500-square-foot property could be considered a modest option considering the kind of capital that the world-famous athlete is working with.

The highest-attended MLS game at Gillette Stadium was the 2002 MLS Cup, when 61,316 fans watched the LA Galaxy defeat the Revolution 1-0 on a 113th minute golden goal by Carlos Ruiz. The highest-attended soccer game of any kind at Gillette Stadium was an international friendly between Brazil and Mexico in 2007 that drew 67,584 fans. While another Major League Soccer team that plays in an NFL stadium could enjoy a record-setting crowd, an intriguing (dare we say a way-too-early MLS Cup preview?) will be taking place at Red Bull Arena. "Messi, as a living legend, is a perfect example of how all generations can overcome challenges and succeed," they said. "This immersive multimedia experience guarantees seventy-five minutes full of inspiration, interactivity and joy for everyone, and most importantly, unforgettable emotions." "We are very excited to be part of such an extraordinary experience," commented Andres Naftali and David Rosenfeld, co-founders of Primo Entertainment.

Lionel Messi's apartment in Miami: Where Argentina star lives in South Florida

They filed for an extension on the plans, which pushed construction of the park back to July of this year. The scooter shop, along with the other businesses in the area of DRV PNK, doesn’t see much benefit from the traffic the stadium brings to the area, David says. Instead, he and others in the area are more inconvenienced than anything else, forced to close up shop or convert their businesses into parking lots on game days. “He’s just a guy who gets paid a lot of f—ing money to kick a ball,” says David, who owns Mr. Scooter, a moped repair shop located just up the road from Messi’s new home stadium.

But other, similarly young MLS expansion clubs in places like Austin, Texas and Los Angeles have captivated locals almost immediately, even during rough times. LAFC, the league’s darlings at this point, have thrived on and off the field since their debut in 2018. Austin FC, which began play a year later than Inter Miami, drew an average of 8,000 more fans per home game than Inter Miami last year. Many football fans can’t help but compare Messi to his rival Cristiano Ronaldo, who also runs a chain of hotels. The two superstar athletes can’t seem to shake off the competition even off the field.

Soccer star Lionel Messi has made it clear he's not going anywhere with the recent purchase of a sprawling, $10.75 million waterfront mansion in Fort Lauderdale, the real estate agents who sold him the property confirmed Monday. For his next act, Lionel Messi turned down a gargantuan offer from Saudi Arabia – reportedly close to half a billion dollars annually – and chose to play for Inter Miami, the soccer club that counts David Beckham as a co-owner. Messi’s move advances Miami’s ambitions to become a global sporting destination and could serve as a magnet for other star athletes and their adoring, wealthy fans.

Each of the unit’s six bedrooms have their own bathroom, every one of them with a toilet next to a floor-to-ceiling window that overlooks the beach. As for Messi’s other Sunny Isles Beach properties, records show he owns at least two units valued at a combined $10.3 million within the 60-story Porsche Design Tower, along with a $7.4 million full-floor condo at the Regalia building. He also reportedly purchased a place in the Bentley Residences building, which is set to be completed in 2026.

• The Eight Mountains (

Two British filmmakers with a fearless command of the medium ventured into the well-trod territory of World War II from chillingly oblique angles, raising tough new questions about culpability, deniability and cinematic representations of violence. In each story, a machinery of mass death is ruthlessly implemented, and a man realizes, with a blank stare into the void, the crucial role he has played in its devising. As news about the 2023 Cannes lineup begins to trickle in, American audiences are finally getting a chance to catch up on some of the films that played at last year’s festival. Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch’s “The Eight Mountains” made waves when it competed for the Palme d’Or and won the Prix Jury prize in 2022, and now the film is just weeks away from premiering at arthouses in New York and Los Angeles.

The 13 best novels (and 2 best short story collections) of 2023

In an interview with the directors, Van Groeningen said they were very moved by the characters in the book, which he called “a simple story, an epic really, set against a beautiful backdrop” that spoke to him directly, with elements “That were very very personal to me,” he said. Designed for a young family with ties to New York, this whole home design is just what the clients had in mind—modern but warm and functional for their daily life with two young children. Anne Buresh shares with us a glimpse into her favorite room design, along with how this family room was inspired and came together to create timeless serenity. Feeling dissatisfied with his aimless life, Pietro decides to reinvent himself by visiting Nepal.

They started adapting the story, from Paolo Cognetti’s novel of the same name, during lockdown when their relationship was going through a rocky patch. With “existential questions” in the air, according to Van Groeningen, focusing on characters confronting themselves was apt. With over 15 years of experience on her plate, Tammy is one of the best Charlotte interior designers in the city. She has experience working with homeowners, contractors, custom home builders, other interior designers, contractors, and architects. She loves to have a more eclectic approach in her work, and you can see this from her experience.

Storyline

Amy Vermillion shares with us a glimpse into her favorite room design, along with how this primary bathroom was inspired and came together with gorgeous customized details. For her, going with the classics means that the spaces she works on will not only be simply stunning, but they’ll remain timeless as well. In addition, she’s genuinely passionate about what she does, and Anne always ensures to tastefully reflect her client’s personalities and wishes in their space. One day, Lara calls Pietro and tells him that a snowstorm buried the house and Bruno is nowhere to be found, possibly dead. When the snow starts to thaw, birds are seen scavenging on something partially buried in the snow, presumably Bruno. (This is related to an earlier discussion of the Nepalese “sky burial” ritual, where the deceased are left on the mountains for animals to consume).

‘Past Lives’ 8. ‘The Eight Mountains’

The Belgian directing duo discuss how how they translated Paolo Coginetti’s novel into cinematic terms, their approach to music, and more.

Like Robin Williams in the Woody Allen film, blurred outside of the cameras even when he goes home, I feel a flush of existential humiliation creeping up. I spoke with Van Groeningen and Vandermeersch shortly before The Eight Mountains opened theatrically in the United States. Our conversation covered where they divided duties on the set of the film, how they translated Coginetti’s novel into cinematic terms, their approach to music, and what the film means for them both personally and professionally. Traci Zeller shares with us a glimpse into her favorite room design, along with how this classic chic “garden room” was inspired and came together.

Pietro’s father’s death reunites the two in realizing his dream of constructing a cabin on the Alps, and the project and subsequent explorations of the awe-inspiring mountain range bond Pietro and Bruno in a shared purpose. Yet despite their connection, the purity of nature and the demands of society both threaten to drive the men to pursue different, possibly irrevocably divergent paths on the vertiginous terrain of life. The mountains in "The Eight Mountains" are the Italian Alps and the Himalayas, equally beautiful, equally intimidating, and dazzling. They are seen with the eyes of two men who know them very well, feel comfortable climbing up and down the steep slopes, and have absorbed mountain life's challenges and joys. Directed by Belgian filmmakers Charlotte Vandermeersch and Felix van Groeningen, "The Eight Mountains" works slowly and patiently. This may be frustrating for some viewers, but the film works because of its slowness and patience, not despite it.

The story begins in the summer of 1984, when 11-year-old Pietro and his parents, who live in Turin, spend the summer in a small Alpine village. It’s here that Pietro meets Bruno, a boy roughly the same age, who swiftly becomes his friend and guide. The region, with its scenic lakes and jaw-dropping vistas, is a boundless sun-drenched playground. And the writer-directors Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch joyously capture the boys’ rambunctious, rough-and-tumble innocence, the pure happiness we see coursing through their faces and bodies as they run, wrestle, yell and explore.

Making THE EIGHT MOUNTAINS

Diel’s signature style perfectly reflects the balance of the city of Charlotte. Her years of living in faraway lands have helped her create a signature style that all of her clients love. Although you’ll find that Geri has a more euro-centric approach to her work, from the architecture to the overall environment to the space, she keeps grabbing attention with her awe-inspiring work. That’s how I came to watch Andrew Haigh’s “All of Us Strangers,” for me the best movie of 2023, first in an empty screening room with only a tight-lipped Searchlight-hired security guard present. It’s a film so breathtaking in its impact, it actually hurt not to be able to talk about it for another few months. On a completely different note, I saw Jonathan Glazer’s “The Zone of Interest” at a morning press screening at Cannes and couldn’t get its images out of my mind or its sounds out of my ears.

Felix, do you see that approach to music as similar to your other films? I always think about your use of “Sunrise, Sunset” from Fiddler on the Roof in Beautiful Boy, which at first had me skeptical but eventually won me over with its sincerity. Since you mentioned the music, how did you settle on your approach to using it in the film? There’s a real earnestness to the way it accompanies the action you depict, especially in montage, where so many filmmakers can use it as ironic or removed commentary on the action. Felix Van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch enter a new stage of their partnership, both professional and personal, through their co-direction of The Eight Mountains.

We at Peerspace curated a list of the nine best Charlotte interior designers for you to explore. For most people, when they think of Charlotte, they think of Southern Heritage. This is accompanied by pastel color palettes, white picket fences, and the lovely bustling cityscape. The urban lifestyle within Charlotte mixes with old traditions and contemporary vibes. Being one of the favorites in the South, this lovely city often gets compared so Nashville, TN, and Savannah, GA.

[We were] sharing and learning this language together, immersing ourselves into new world. Also, our boy really found his way there and made friends, and he loves to go back to the mountains. It really helped us mature and enter into a new phase of our relationship. An epic journey of friendship and self-discovery, THE EIGHT MOUNTAINS is a landmark cinematic experience as intimate as it is monumental, as deep as it is expansive. As they mature, Pietro becomes estranged from his business-minded father (Filippo Timi) even as Bruno—emotionally abandoned by his own father—takes up the role of surrogate son.

The beauty of Celine Song’s emotionally intimate, philosophically expansive “Past Lives,” played with breathtaking understatement by Greta Lee and Teo Yoo, lies in the way romantic desire flickers but never fully ignites, leaving you to imagine what might have been. Meanwhile, the soul of “The Eight Mountains,” Felix van Groeningen and Charlotte Vandermeersch’s glorious male weepie, is in Alessandro Borghi and Luca Marinelli’s performances as boyhood peak pals, brought together by cliffs and ultimately separated by chasms. It is not being too facetious to call this the straight Brokeback Mountain. In building this rudimentary stone hut, they have attempted to rebuild their childhood, rebuild their love for each other. But Pietro is to make a terribly painful discovery that, in his long and bitter absence, his wounded father actually became a friend to the grownup Bruno, hiking with him in the valley and becoming a quasi-father to him. And, to add to the mortification of having his dad stolen from him by Bruno, Pietro finds that the young woman he is sort of interested in, is more interested in the unassuming Bruno.

The problem with that is that, over the weekend, a series of images start to emerge from on campus and just off of it of some really troubling anti-Semitic episodes. In one case, a guy holds up a poster in the middle of campus and points it towards a group of Jewish students who are counter protesting. And it says, I’m paraphrasing here, Hamas’ next targets. And it’s a university on top of all that that has a real history of activism dating back to the 1960s. So when students are recruited or choose to come to Columbia, they’re actively opting into a campus that prides itself on being an activist community. They consider the city and the world, really, like a classroom to Columbia.

‘House Party’ Review: The Bubblegum Hip-Hop ’90s Comedy Classic Gets Remade Without the Joy

Upon its initial release, the first film garnered critical acclaim and has since become a cult classic. The lead roles were originally written for DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. The franchise was later continued in a series of direct-to-video installments that had little to do with the original three films. The first "House Party" and its remake share numerous visual and narrative elements, and part of the latter's appeal can be seen in all of its homages and references.

Eliminate the encampment and send a message, this is not going to be tolerated. But in trying to quell the unrest, Shafik actually feeds it. She ends up leaving student protesters and the faculty who support them feeling betrayed and pushes a campus that was already on edge into a full blown crisis. So these students in real-time are beginning to test some of the things that Columbia’s president has just said before Congress. I’m taking steps in good faith to make sure that we restore order to this campus, while allowing people to express themselves freely as well.

With the premise being a party being thrown at his former teammate’s mansion, perhaps it should come as no surprise that NBA player Tristan Thompson would make an appearance in the film. Thompson, who won an NBA championship with LeBron James in 2016 while playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers, makes his cameo in a scene where a security guard mistakes his championship ring for LeBron’s ring, which has gone missing at the party. In the film, protagonist Damon harbors a longtime celebrity crush on the singer and dancer Mýa.

And on Wednesday, Hamas released a video of Hersh Goldberg-Polin, an Israeli-American dual citizen, whom Hamas has held hostage since October 7. It was the first time that he has been shown alive since his captivity began. His kidnapping was the subject of a “Daily” episode in October that featured his mother, Rachel. In response to Hamas’s video, Rachel issued a video of her own, in which she spoke directly to her son. Do they hold back, like at Harvard, where there were dramatic videos of students literally running into Harvard yard with tents.

When the House Party remake was first announced, it was set to be released as an HBO Max exclusive. If you’re still confused about the connection and timeline of the ‘House Party’ franchise, I’ll make it as simple as possible for you. So, the timeline of events is chronological if you follow the release dates. However, the three movies do not belong to the same timeline or series of events, at least as they feature different characters.

And set up an encampment in the middle of campus, no matter what the rules say. And I think if we zoom out for a second, it’s worth bearing in mind that she tried to choose a different path here than her counterparts at Harvard or Penn. And after all of this, she’s kind of ended up in the exact same thicket, with people calling for her job with the White House, the Mayor of New York City, and others.

Kevin and Damon end up tagging along with Kid Cudi to a meeting of the Illuminati, which results in the film turning into “Eyes Wide Shut” on bad drugs. He produced the film, and proves a good sport about mocking himself, but even as this “House Party” shoots the works, it never brings off what “House Party” did back in the day of 1990. He would later continue that side-hustle of film criticism on TikTok (@wiesewisdom), where he posts videos on a semi-weekly basis.

There was another gathering more recently glorifying Hamas and other terrorist organizations, and the kind of chants that have become an everyday chorus on campus, which many Jewish students see as threatening. But when the questioning starts, President Shafik is ready. One of the first ones she gets is the one that tripped up her colleagues. And when this spring rolls around, the stars finally align. And the same congressional committee issues another invitation to Minouche Shafik, Columbia’s President, to come and testify.

According to TheWrap, this means "House Party" should hit streaming — likely Warner's HBO Max — sometime between late February 2023 and mid-April 2023. There are many celebrity cameos, from Mya to Snoop Dogg to Lil Wayne to Lena Waithe, but the best thing in the movie is Kid Cudi playing a delectably pretentious version of himself. He’s got the timing, and the mystique, that the rest of “House Party” lacks. The original “House Party” stayed grounded, but the new one almost seems to know that something is missing, because in the last act it goes deliberately over-the-top, as if to give us our money’s worth.

As the title suggest, each movies find the protagonists hosting a party, though at different locations and for different reasons. The reimagining of the cult classic, which starred Christopher “Kid” Reid and Christopher “Play” Martin of the hip-hop group Kid ‘n Play, is set to be directed by award-winning music video helmer Calmatic in his feature directorial debut. The movie’s script comes from Emmy-nominated “Atlanta” duo Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori. Finally, the third movie on the list that isn’t connected to the remaining four is ‘House Party’ (2023). This movie does not feature Kid ‘N Play at all, apart from a little cameo role-playing themselves – it is somewhat of a reboot, or a remake, or an update, if you will, to the ‘House Party’ franchise revolving around different characters in the modern era.

The second film (1991) sets Kid, now living with Play after his father died (as Harris had died not long after finishing the first movie) off to college thanks to some charity of his local church. This is much to the chagrin of his friend who wants Kid to go into music with him after they got the attention of a record producer. Misfortune however befalls Kid no sooner then he starts his semester after he gets conned out of his tuition money. One thing leads to another before the duo wind up hosting a party on the campus to help Kid stay in college. House Party is a series of hip-hop comedy films that began as starring vehicles for the rap duo Kid 'N Play (Christopher Reid and Christopher Martin).

People Also Ask:

To describe "House Party" in those terms would be unfair and would miss the whole point of the movie's energy and exuberance. It was refreshing for a change to see a story about young blacks that didn't revolve around social problems, thriller elements, drugs or any particular form of seriousness. "House Party" is silly and high-spirited and not particularly significant, and that is just as it should be.

They soon decide to host the party of the year at an exclusive mansion, which just happens to belong to none other than NBA superstar LeBron James. But he'll leave his best friend and the girl he's had a crush on since 2nd grade. So he throws one last party that turns into a hilarious disaster. Crashing the reunion, Kid has the DJ scratch and mix a few of his old doo wop records so that he can liven the party with a rap, until Stab and the others arrive. Trying to escape, Kid accidentally knocks down an older man.

House Party: Tonight's the Night

Still determined to go, Kid sneaks out of the house and faces one calamity after another as he makes his way to Play's house and the party of the school year. House Party (2023) is a contemporary reboot of the 1990 film, sharing the same name. The movie centers around two ambitious club promoters who find themselves cleaning LeBron James' mansion. Inspired by their surroundings, they decide to throw an epic party at their workplace. Seeing that the movies’ chronological order of events is the same as their release dates, the best way to watch the ‘House Party’ movie series is in release order. You’ll get to see the main characters grow and develop from teenagers to successful – even married – adults.

What are the House Party movies?

It has a similar plot – two guys throwing a massive party as we watch how things get complicated and crazy along the way – but other than a few nods to the original films; there’s not much of a connection to the rest of the franchise. He manages to get out of another scrape with Stab and his brothers, and they all end up in a jail cell. Kid entertains the rest of the men in the cell by rapping, distracting them long enough for Play, Sharane, Bilal, and Sydney to arrive and bail him out. After Play and Bilal drop him off, Kid sneaks in the house and gets undressed. As he is about to get into bed, he looks up to find Pop holding a belt as he prepares to spank him.

The incredibly popular, visually impressive musical short would also earn Calmatic an MTV Video Music Award for Best Direction and a Grammy for Best Music Video. Perhaps his cinematic eye is just what the House Party remake needs to look especially fresh. A fun little note, that is the same exact runtime as the original. Based on the synopsis, we'd say the reboot sounds quite different from the original. This shouldn't be too shocking when you learn that Emmy-nominated Atlanta writers Stephen Glover and Jamal Olori have been tasked with writing a brand new script for the movie.

Producer Hit-Boy has made music with the likes of Beyoncé, Kanye West, and Drake, so it’s no wonder that Kevin, an aspiring music producer, is nervous to play his music in front of him at the party. While Hit-Boy, who appears as himself, is not initially impressed with Kevin’s beats, he later works with Kevin and Big Sean. Singer Tinashe has one of the most memorable cameos in the film. Playing herself, she instigates an epic dance-off in the middle of the party, which results in her recruiting Kevin’s love interest, Venus (played by Karen Obilom) to be a dancer for her upcoming tour. While this remix of "House Party" may leave some nostalgic for the original, it smartly doesn't try to copy the first film.

So far, there are six House Party movies, with one extra film that doesn’t really belong to the series but features the same duo. Without further ado, here are all seven House Party movies in order. And now these schools only have a week or two left of classes. But we don’t know when these standoffs are going to end. We don’t know if students are going to leave campus for the summer. In Los Angeles, Kevin and Damon are two best friends who work as house cleaners and aspiring club promoters; Kevin also aspires to make music and get a steady income to support himself and his young daughter Destiny.

The Remake Is, Technically, The Sixth House Party Movie

The third movie (1994) see Kid getting married to his girlfriend Veda (who was introduced in this movie rather than his past girlfriend Sidney (Tisha Campbell). Play meanwhile has gone into the music business as a manager to a female rap trio, Sex as a Weapon (TLC). Of course though things get complicated before everything winds down to a bachelor party thrown for Kid. This film was notable for debuting Chris Tucker and featuring the rap group Immature (later known as IMx) who play Kid's nephews.

He finally gets to shoot his shot after he invites her to his house party (with a little help from LeBron James’ address book), where she appears, as herself. Walter Emanuel Jones rose to prominence playing Zach Taylor, the original Black Power Ranger in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a role that he cheekily references during his scene in House Party. During his appearance in the film, Jones, who plays himself, pokes fun at the role as partygoers recognize him. While first announced as a LeBron James and Springhill project in 2018, according to Okayplayer, it took more than four years for the next generation "House Party" movie to be fully produced and released to the public. By 2022, with the movie fully filmed and completed, Warner Bros. planned to skip a theatrical release and make the film an exclusive offering on its HBO Max streaming platform.

But also, as the winter wears on, all the same intense protests just continue unabated. This is a university that has both one of the largest Jewish student populations of any of its peers. But it also has a large Arab and Muslim student population, a big Middle Eastern studies program. They were asked very pointed questions about the kind of speech taking place on their campuses, and they gave really convoluted academic answers back that just baffled the committee.

But there are also communities that rely on people being able to trust each other and being able to carry out their classes and their academic endeavors as a collective so they can learn from one another. Students who feel strongly about the Palestinian cause feel like the point is disruption, that something so big, and immediate, and urgent is happening that they need to get in the faces of their professors, and their administrators, and their fellow students. And for those students who maybe couldn’t go back to — into campus, now all of their peers, who were supporters or are in solidarity, are — in some sense, it’s further emboldened.

One of the key elements of any great house party is its guest list, which might explain why there’s no shortage of big name cameos in the new movie, House Party. The film, which releases in theaters on Friday, is a reimagining of the cult classic 1990 film of the same name, which starred rap duo Kid ‘n Play as high schoolers throwing a party while their parents are gone. In 2022, a modernized sixth film was produced by LeBron James’ production company Spring Hill Entertainment. This time around, house cleaners and aspiring club promoters Damon and Kevin decide to host a giant blowout at Lebron's mansion while he's away in an attempt to make some big money after being fired from their job. Several big-name entertainers and sportspeople, including James himself, appear in the movie in various capacities alongside previous franchise stars Kid 'N Play reprising their roles in a non-speaking cameo. The film was set to debut on HBO Max in August 2022, but was instead transferred to a theatrical release by Warner Bros.
