Lisa Rinna e-mailde een beroemde e-mail ontslagbrief aan haar bazen bij The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in september 2022 en 18 maanden later bevestigde ze dat ze nog steeds geen plannen heeft om terug te keren naar de populaire realityshow Bravo.

‘Nee. Nooit. Nee, dat zou ik niet doen’, zei de 60-jarige actrice – die in acht seizoenen speelde – in een voorproefje van de vrijdag Jennifer Hudson-show.

‘Maar luister, ik ben dankbaar voor de ervaring. Ik denk dat ik er een betere acteur van ben geworden, omdat ik weer ga acteren.’

Daarop begon een toeschouwer te grinniken en Lisa (geboren Elizabeth) schoot terug: ‘Ik maak geen grapje! Je lacht, maar het is waar. Ik denk dat ik daardoor een betere acteur ben geworden door met die vrouwen te werken [and] die ervaring doormaken.’

Rinna is uitvoerend producent en schittert als cyberpestende moeder Madelyn naast haar eigen 25-jarige dochter Delilah Belle Hamlin in Greg Beemans dramathriller Mommy Meanest, die later dit jaar in première gaat op Lifetime.

‘Ik heb net een film gemaakt genaamd Mommy Meanest, waarvoor ik acht jaar heb getraind in die show. Dat heb ik zeker gedaan, en ik had veel om uit te halen’, merkte de viervoudig genomineerde voor een Daytime Emmy op.

‘Ik heb veel om uit te halen nadat ik acht jaar aan die show heb gewerkt. Weet je, verschillende psychologieën van verschillende vrouwen. Ik zou dat nooit zijn tegengekomen als ik die show niet had gedaan. Ik ben dankbaar voor die show. Ik ben daardoor de persoon die ik vandaag ben, maar ik zal nooit meer teruggaan. Heb het gedaan, gedaan, de film gezien.’

Lisa ook ‘zo opgewonden’ een gastrol als liefdesbelang voor George Lopez in het tweede seizoen van zijn sitcom Lopez vs. Lopez, die op 2 april in première gaat op NBC.

‘Ik denk dat het nemen van risico’s iets heel goeds is’, legde Rinna – die ‘geen spijt heeft’ – uit.

‘Hoe meer risico’s je neemt, hoe beter je leven is en dat is wat ik mijn kinderen probeer te leren. Ik heb zoiets van: “Neem het risico. Als het je bang maakt, doe het dan.”

De gastrol van So Help Me Todd schreef geschiedenis als ‘de oudste vrouw die ooit op de cover heeft gestaan’ Kosmopolitisch‘ voor de ‘speciale digitale’ januari-cover van het tijdschrift, waarop ze een doorschijnende, sprankelende Stella McCartney-catsuit droeg.

‘Het voelde zo geweldig. Ten eerste kon ik het niet geloven toen mijn publicist Jeffrey [Chassen] belde me. Ik had zoiets van: “Je liegt! Ze zetten bijvoorbeeld geen 60-jarige vrouw op de cover van Cosmo. Dat doen ze gewoon niet.” En hij zei: “Nou, nu doen ze dat!”, Herinnerde Lisa zich.

‘Het beweegt de naald voor vrouwen. Het maakt het gewoon ineens goed. Mijn idolen Cher en Madonna en Demi Moore. Ik denk dat ze het zo mooi doen en dat ze zichzelf opnieuw uitvinden en dat ze er geweldig uitzien en dat ze doen waar ze van houden en dat ze nog geen 25 jaar oud zijn en dat vind ik zo leuk.’

Op 29 maart vieren Rinna en haar man Harry Hamlin – die tevens ouders zijn van de 22-jarige dochter Amelia Gray Hamlin – op indrukwekkende wijze hun 27e huwelijksverjaardag.

De 72-jarige Emmy-genomineerde zal zijn eigen kookprogramma van vijf afleveringen presenteren, In The Kitchen With Harry, dat op 15 mei in première gaat op AMC, samen met zijn door Cordon Bleu opgeleide nichtje Renee Guilbault.

De oprichtster van Rinna Beauty ‘Ik kan niet wachten om verbinding te maken met de LGBTQ+-gemeenschap’ op 14 april als Grand Marshal tijdens de Miami Beach Pride Parade ‘in Florida, waar ze onze liefde en steun meer dan ooit nodig hebben.’

Lisa Hochstein is door fans verguisd omdat ze haar vervreemde echtgenoot Lenny vanaf een Instagram-foto had ‘verdampt’ met behulp van ondermaatse Photoshop-vaardigheden.

Real Housewives of Miami-ster Lisa, 41, en plastisch chirurg Lenny, 57, zijn verwikkeld in een wrede scheiding sinds hun scheiding twee jaar geleden – en Lisa heeft hem slordig van een foto met haar moeder gewist in een post ter gelegenheid van haar verjaardag.

Op de foto poseerde Lisa met haar moeder terwijl ze zoontje Logan, nu acht, wiegde, terwijl Lenny bijna uit de kliksluiting van zijn leren loafers was gehaald.

Fans gingen snel naar het commentaargedeelte om de ‘woeste’ zet uit te roepen met één tekst: ‘Ze verliet zijn voeten om ons allemaal te laten weten dat hij het verwijderde, annuleerde en verdampte!’

Een ander typte: ‘De foto waarop Lenny vervaagd is LMFAO’, terwijl een derde schreef: ‘omg ik zie zijn schoenen, geest van Kerstmis voorbij, ik ga dood.’

Anderen schreven: ‘Is dat de geest van Lenny?’ en ‘waarom heb je hem er niet gewoon uitgesneden?’ waarop Lisa antwoordde: ‘Ik wilde het beeld niet vertekenen. Visueel ziet het er beter uit als we gecentreerd zijn.’

De ster gaf ook toe dat ze ‘veel werk te doen’ had om haar Photoshop-vaardigheden aan te scherpen.

Het paar is al bijna twee jaar verwikkeld in een explosieve breuk en in december spande Lenny een rechtszaak wegens smaad aan tegen zijn vervreemde vrouw Lisa Hochstein.

Lenny spande de aanklacht aan nadat de realityster een foto plaatste van een blauwe plek op haar arm en liet doorschemeren dat hij haar had misbruikt.

Volgens gerechtelijke documenten verkregen door DailyMail.com heeft Lenny een civiele procedure aangespannen en eist zij een schadevergoeding van meer dan $ 50.000, evenals advocatenhonoraria.

In de rechtszaak ontkent Lenny de beweringen over misbruik en beweert dat Lisa de blauwe plek heeft opgelopen nadat ze ‘haar evenwicht verloor’ terwijl ze naar boven liep terwijl ze ruzie hadden.

Lisa reageerde in een verklaring op de rechtszaak Amerikaans wekelijks, zeggende: ‘We hebben niets ontvangen. Dit lijkt iets wat ‘advocaat Lenny’ zou doen, aangezien hij duidelijk heeft gemaakt dat hij van plan is mij financieel te wurgen. Hij is pas tevreden als hij een aanklacht indient.’

‘Het kwam omdat [Lisa] zoals gewoonlijk was het schreeuwen en uitschelden [Lenny] toen hij thuiskwam van zijn werk, zoals ze bijna dagelijks deed en hem vertelde dat hij nooit iets goed doet, dus [Lenny] probeerde weg te lopen en begon de trap op te lopen en [Lisa] voor gelopen [him] achteruit de trap op, zodat ze verder kon schreeuwen [his] gezicht en [she] verloor haar evenwicht en viel op een trap’, aldus het dossier.

‘[Lisa’s] leugens over misbruik zijn geen verrassing voor [Lenny] als [Lisa] heeft publiekelijk verklaard dat ze wraak moet nemen [her ex] waarvoor [Lisa] claims zijn intimidatie’, vervolgt het document.

‘Nog [Lenny] is niet intimiderend [Lisa] maar eerder de waarheid presenteren die [Lisa] houdt niet van.’

Lenny bracht ook een verklaring uit over de situatie waarin hij huiselijk geweld aan de kaak stelde.

‘Ik ben tegen alle vormen van geweld, vooral tegen vrouwen. Huiselijk geweld in intimiderende relaties is een serieus probleem in onze samenleving en de slachtoffers ervan verdienen bescherming en een veilige ruimte om zich uit te spreken.

‘Helaas heeft Lisa de taak op zich genomen om daadwerkelijke slachtoffers van huiselijk geweld in diskrediet te brengen en te bespotten door foto’s te posten van een zelf toegebrachte blauwe plek, waarbij ze beweerde dat ik daarvoor verantwoordelijk was.’

‘Ik heb een advocaat ingeschakeld en een rechtszaak aangespannen om mezelf tegen deze laster te beschermen. Een zeer geloofwaardige forensisch patholoog heeft de zaak al onderzocht en bevestigd dat Lisa de blauwe plek niet heeft opgelopen als gevolg van een vermeend gewelddadig dispuut.’

In de documenten beschuldigt Lenny Lisa er ook van hem te hebben bedrogen met haar huidige vriend, Jody Glidden, en haar de ‘echte ‘huisbreker’ van Miami’ te noemen.

De rechtszaak komt slechts enkele dagen nadat Lisa een foto op haar Instagram Story deelde waarop een blauwe plek op haar arm te zien was, samen met een scherp onderschrift.

‘Ik wilde dit niet delen. Maar ik heb geen keus’, schreef ze bij de foto.

‘Ik word bedreigd en lastiggevallen via het rechtssysteem en via ‘anderen’ door Lenny en dat moet stoppen.

‘Dit was bijna twee weken oud ten opzichte van vorig seizoen. Misschien heb je deze blauwe plek opgelopen tijdens de aflevering toen ik de vrouwen in de show vertelde over de scheiding.’

Lenny ontkende dat hij zijn vervreemde vrouw had misbruikt, en in een verklaring die exclusief met DailyMail.com werd gedeeld, beweerde hij dat Lisa de blauwe plek had opgelopen nadat ze op een trap in hun huis was gevallen.

Lenny, die al meer dan een jaar verwikkeld is in een lelijke scheiding van Lisa, hield ook vol dat hij zijn vervreemde vrouw ‘of welke vrouw dan ook in mijn leven’ nooit fysiek had misbruikt.

‘Toen ik naar boven probeerde te lopen, liep ze voor me uit, om de een of andere reden besloot ze achteruit de trap op te lopen, zodat ze in mijn gezicht tegen me kon blijven schreeuwen.’

‘Ze viel en kwam op haar linkerbovenarm terecht. Ik heb Lisa, of welke vrouw dan ook, nooit fysiek mishandeld in mijn leven. Ik ben tegen alle vormen van geweld, vooral tegen vrouwen.’

‘Lisa is zich hiervan bewust en het feit dat ze zelfs zou suggereren dat ik hier iets mee te maken had, bewijst precies wat voor persoon ze is.’

Dit is niet de eerste keer dat er tijdens de bittere echtscheidingsprocedure van het echtpaar claims van fysiek misbruik aan het licht komen.

In eerdere gerechtelijke documenten beschuldigde Lenny Lisa ervan hem te hebben geduwd en verbaal aangevallen tijdens een geschil in hun $ 10 miljoen kostende Star Island-landhuis.

Lisa en de plastisch chirurg stapten in 2009 in het huwelijksbootje. In oktober 2022 vroeg hij de scheiding aan van Lisa.

Diezelfde maand ging hij naar de beurs met vriendin Katharina Mazepa, aan wie hij in juli ten huwelijk vroeg.

Lisa heeft beweerd dat Mazepa Lenny’s ‘minnares’ was, wat hij ontkende en zei dat ze begonnen te daten nadat hij en Lisa al gescheiden waren.

Lisa en Lenny delen zoon Logan, 8, en dochter Elle, 4. In april kreeg Lenny de opdracht om Lisa $ 8.000 per maand aan tijdelijke steun te betalen.

Volgens Page Six diende hij echter op 10 augustus een spoedverzoek in bij de rechtbank om zijn echtscheidingsconvenant in te trekken. De exen hadden eerder overeenstemming bereikt over de schikking.

In een van de documenten merkte Lenny’s advocaat op dat hij stappen had ondernomen om de schikking in te trekken ‘in afwachting’ dat Lisa deze zou afwijzen.

Ondanks dat zijn documenten erop leken te wijzen dat hij en Lisa doorgingen met het uitwerken van een rechtvaardiger schikking, beschreef een bron dicht bij het voormalige echtpaar zijn laatste stappen als een nieuwe poging om Lisa schade toe te brengen door hun slopende echtscheidingsprocedure te verlengen.

De bron beweerde dat hij de schikking introk om de juridische procedure te vertragen in een poging haar ‘faillissement’ te geven met stijgende juridische kosten.

Ze beweerden ook dat hij haar probeerde een nieuwe ‘low-ball’-schikking te laten ondertekenen.

The news came just a few days after Christmas. At first, Lisa Armstrong could half-convince herself that it was just another gossip: after all, that had been enough in the five years since she split from her former husband, the TV presenter Ant McPartlin.

Like millions of others, Lisa, a make-up artist who was with the troubled TV golden boy for 23 years, read the story on Mail Online.

But it couldn't be true, could it? Surely Ant, her former soulmate whom she had fallen in love with when they were both teenagers, wouldn't be so cruel?

But looking at the photos of Ant, 48, and his new wife, former assistant Anne-Marie Corbett, 46, happily strolling around with the paparazzi and fellow holidaymakers at Heathrow Airport, on their way back from Dubai after a spot of winter sun, Lisa gradually came to realize that he probably could.

Rumors had been circulating for weeks that Ant and Anne-Marie were expecting their first child together, and judging by Anne-Marie's curvier figure and tellingly loose-fitting sweater, it looked like this chatter might be true.

This week, those rumors were confirmed when friends of the couple announced they were “extremely happy” they were expecting a baby in June.

But for Lisa, who had desperately wanted a baby with Ant for years and had supported him through his struggles with alcohol, depression and an addiction to prescription drugs, this was almost certainly the most devastating part of her divorce. .

“It's extremely heartbreaking and hurtful to Lisa that, after everything Ant has done to her, he didn't let her know he was expecting a baby,” a close friend told me.

'Ant didn't even have the decency to inform Lisa about this. Like the rest of the world, she had to read about it in the news and you can only imagine what a shock that must have been for her.

“For someone you've shared so much with, it's hard to tell you something they knew full well was going to be a huge story in the press.

'It's a terrible shame that Lisa had to find out like this. You can imagine how hard that would hit her. It's heartbreaking.'

Lisa is known for being discreet – despite refusing to sign the non-disclosure agreement Ant wanted her to sign – so we can only guess how much shock and betrayal she must have felt. Especially since she and Ant had so desperately hoped to become parents themselves for so many years.

In 2013, shortly before his showbiz partner Declan Donnelly met wife Ali Astall, Ant revealed how he and Lisa had fertility problems, saying: 'There's a rumor going around that I'm waiting to have children until Dec finds himself Mrs Right. I like that idea, but I'm afraid it's not true.

'Lisa and I really want children. Tried. When you get older, it's harder than you think.'

Sadly, this was never to be and once they turned forty, they accepted that they were not meant to have a family and instead had their beloved chocolate Labrador, Hurley – who Lisa calls her 'baby boy'.

The friend told the Mail: 'Lisa had spent her entire adult life with Ant. It was all she knew and they had really hoped to have children. Lisa didn't expect Ant to go ahead and have a baby, so it really hit her hard.

'She has been through so much with him and given him so much, but it is she who will be childless for the rest of her life, not Ant.

“It's something you never get over.”

As if the situation couldn't get any more difficult for Lisa, she and Anne-Marie were once friends. Anne-Marie was Ant's personal assistant and spent a lot of time at the McPartlins' home in West London.

Friends of Lisa – the hugely successful head of make-up on BBC One's Strictly Come Dancing – say she was 'very nice' to Anne-Marie. She worked at Ant's talent agency YMU, and Lisa and Ant wanted to make her feel 'at home' at her job.

Anne-Marie divorced her husband Scott, with whom she has two daughters, in October 2017, shortly before Ant and Lisa's marriage fell apart.

The divorce was difficult for Lisa, friends say, not least because she suddenly found herself in the awkward position of the world scrutinizing her marriage and private life, despite never asking for fame.

When their divorce was finalized in 2018 – which reportedly led to a multi-million payout for Lisa – a friend tells me there was a time when she was the second most Googled woman in Britain, behind only Meghan Markle.

The investigation became even more stringent when Anne-Marie was spotted walking with Hurley in April 2018 – a cruel blow for Lisa.

Soon after, Anne-Marie and Ant were photographed together, and their status as a couple was confirmed in 2019 when she joined him in Australia – along with her children – where he was hosting I'm A Celeb.

They tied the knot in August 2021 in a star-studded wedding at the five-star Heckfield Place in Hampshire.

That Ant still longed for children was even evident from his groom's speech when he said that Anne-Marie's now teenage daughters call him 'Daddy'.

“The relationship between Ant and Anne-Marie came out of nowhere for her,” says an employee of Lisa. 'In retrospect, things started to change. There were times when Anne-Marie even seemed to dress like Lisa, but she didn't expect them to get together.

'The thought of her now having Ant's baby is a lot to think about. Lisa tries her hardest to keep herself to herself, but she's been through so much in their 23 years together.”

Ant and Lisa met almost 30 years ago, when they were 18 and 19, and on the music circuit.

Lisa was in a band called Deuce at the time, while Ant and Dec were making careers as pop duo PJ and Duncan – their characters from Byker Grove, the children's TV drama.

They hit it off immediately and soon their romance became public. And despite not exactly making a big hit, Lisa's band became one of the most written about women in Britain.

She then moved in with Ant at his home next door to Dec in Chiswick, west London, and was by the star's side as he went on to become one of half of the country's best-loved entertainment acts.

The couple married in the summer of 2006 at Cliveden House, near Maidenhead, Berkshire, with Dec acting as best man.

However, somewhere along the line, things started to unravel for the couple as Ant battled various addictions and demons.

He had initially started taking legally prescribed painkillers after a serious knee injury in 2014 and a botched operation the following year. However, over time, his dependency on the drugs, along with alcohol, began to spiral out of control.

It was a torrid time for Lisa. At the time, she confided to friends that she had fought for 'two hellish years' to keep her husband Ant on track. A friend tells me: 'Lisa went through hell the last two years she and Ant were together.

She wasn't sure if her marriage would survive, but she supported him in an attempt to save him. It's been so hard for her.

'Ant had been in such bad shape that she often feared the situation was untenable.'

Friends said Lisa had begged her husband to seek professional help and begged him not to leave their home if he wanted to start drinking.

'It was a very difficult time for Lisa, it took a very long time. She loved him very much and wanted to make him better, but she was open with her friends and didn't see how the marriage could survive.

But she made her vows and she won't give them up. Lisa has done a lot for Ant. She did pretty much everything she could to help, but it went on and on.

“It was the hardest thing for her to give in and admit that the marriage was over. She is an amazing woman who was determined to save her husband. She's so brave.'

In 2017, Ant finally sought help and went to a rehabilitation center. But it was too late for their marriage. Six months later, in March 2018, Ant's life hit a new low when he was arrested and charged with drink-driving after his Mini collided with two other cars in west London.

Ant, who was reportedly earning £130,000 a week at the time, was fined £86,000 and banned from driving for 20 months after pleading guilty to drink driving.

He said he was 'really sorry' for driving more than twice the legal limit.

Witnesses described how his black Mini collided with another Mini Cooper before driving straight into an oncoming BMW, with a doctor and her nine-year-old son on board.

Although no one was seriously injured, the driver of the other Mini was said to be in 'deep shock' and believed he could have been killed in the accident.

Ant later withdrew from hosting ITV reality series I'm A Celebrity alongside Dec in Australia, making way for Holly Willoughby to take over temporarily.

Although Lisa, despite being given numerous opportunities to tell her side of the story, remains silent on the matter, their split remains acrimonious – and lingering. He may have two new dogs, Maltipoos (maltese-poodle crossbreeds), named Milo and Bumble, but Ant still doesn't want to give Lisa Hurley full-time.

The couple agreed to share the dog after their marriage collapsed, but Lisa wants Hurley to live alone with her. However, it is clear that Ant is refusing to give up shared custody.

Currently, the dog spends half its time at Ant's £6million mansion in Wimbledon, South West London, and the other half at Lisa's West London home, with the TV presenter's driver reportedly doing the handover, so the exes don't have to see each other. other.

A make-up artist friend added: 'Lisa is one of the strongest women you can imagine, but a few years ago there were cracks showing and she wasn't quite herself.

'It was clear at the time that there were issues that were getting her into trouble, but she didn't want to give up on Ant.

“She's been to hell and back the last few years. We all just wanted to pick her up and give her a big hug.”

If there was ever a time when Lisa needed one, it's now.

Lisa of K-pop group Blackpink is the latest star to join the cast of HBO’s hot comedy-drama series The White Lotus.

The 26-year-old performer – originally from Thailand – will be making her acting debut in the show’s highly anticipated third series, Variety has revealed.

Her on-screen breakthrough comes following a busy year for the singer and dancer, who just last week announced the opening of her own label – called LLOUD.

In an Instagram post – which featured a sleek black and white photoshoot that showcased the entertainer in a glamorous suit and tie – Lisa, introduced her ‘platform to showcase my vision in music and entertainment’.

‘Join me on this exciting journey to push through new boundaries together,’ she added.

The move – followed by fellow bandmate Jennie Kim’s launch of her agency ODD ATELIER – along with Lisa’s White Lotus role, appears to be the latest in a move to establish herself as a solo performer in the wake of the group’s split from huge South Korean agency Young Entertainment (YG) as individual artists. 

While they remain under their long-time label as Blackpink, Lisa, Jennie, Rose and Jisoo now have the opportunity to establish more of their own endeavours, Rolling Stone says.

And it’s not the first time one of the girls has taken up an acting gig. Jennie made her showbiz debut in HBO’s controversial The Idol as villain Dyanne – whereas Jisoo is known for a number of K-drama appearances and film work.

Lisa will be filming The White Lotus in her native Thailand, and will be credited under her given name Lalisa Manobal, but not much is known about her role yet. The series is expected to air sometime in 2025.

The K-pop star – who is revered for her dancing skills – most recently sparked controversy after taking part in a Crazy Horse cabaret performance.

She hit the stage for a string of super exclusive five shows at the Parisian venue during Paris Fashion Week in October.

The limited space could only accommodate a small number of fans, leaving the rest to have to peep the event via photos shared online.

Among those able to snag seats were Lisa’s Blackpink group mates and stars including Rosalía, Kaia Gerber, and Austin Butler.

Crazy Horse is known for nudity and a no-filming policy, although TMZ  reported that Lisa did not strip down to nothing.

The raunchy performance sparked fears that Lisa was being blacklisted in China – after she had her account suspended on the country’s biggest social media site Weibo.

While there was no nudity, the provocative nature of the revue combined with Crazy Horse’s racy reputation sparked outrage across Asia, where Lisa is a top star. 

Weibo hadn’t given an official reason for suspending Lisa’s account outside of a message stating, ‘This account can no longer be viewed due to reports of violations of laws, regulations, and Weibo community agreement’.

On top of that, the official Weibo accounts for luxury brands Celine and Bvlgari, which Lisa is a celebrity ambassador for, removed all of the star’s images from their accounts. 

However just a month later, the idol – alongside her Blackpink bandmates – was invited for a prestigious state banquet in Buckingham Palace and received an honourary MBE from King Charles III.

The monarch, 75, appeared to be in high spirits as he held an Investiture, in the presence of The President of the Republic of Korea and the First Lady, during their official State Visit to the United Kingdom.

He invested the Blackpink members in recognition of the band’s role as COP26 Advocates for the summit in Glasgow 2021. 

Blackpink were first appointed by the UK Government as COP26 Advocates in January 2021. Non-UK citizens can be considered for an honour for their work within the UK. 

The group released a series of videos aimed at encouraging young people to learn more about climate change, which resulted – the government says – in ‘significantly increased engagement’ with the Summit from a young audience.

Lisa later said she will ‘forever cherish’ the moment in a gushing Instagram post.

She had shared an excited photo of herself holding up the award, seemingly moments after the investiture ceremony, and posed for a smiling selfie in a chic strapless grey dress, adorned with a cape, from clothing brand Asava.

The star teamed her look with white leather pumps from Stuart Weitzman and a BVLGARI watch, styling her raven tresses into a sophisticated half-up half-down look.

Other glamorous snaps in the carousel showed the star glamorously posing in what looked like a luxurious waiting room and a private car.

‘So deeply honored to be a part of this great moment,’ Lisa wrote in a post to more than 101 million followers on Instagram.

‘I would have never imagined standing here receiving an Honorary MBE so thank you and will forever cherish this moment.’

Over the summer, Lisa and Blackpink made history at BST Hyde Park by becoming the first Korean band to headline a major UK music festival.

The girl group closed out the second weekend of the annual event in London to a sold-out crowd of 65,000 fans.

Opening to screams and pink fireworks shooting up from the stage, the girls launched into the Pink Venom before performing 16 more songs and having three outfit changes. 

Introducing themselves to their young crowd, they performed a mix of K-Pop favourites including Kick It, Pretty Savage, How You Like That, and Shut Down. 

Even their first ever single, Whistle – the one that made them famous – was among the setlist. 

The roaring audience included Hugh Grant who revealed himself as a new fan of Blackpink after taking his daughter. 

Taking to X, the A-lister in July wrote: ‘Very grateful to three eleven year olds for taking me to see @BLACKPINK yesterday. Am rabid Blink now. Slept with my heart hammer.’

‘Blink’ is the name given to fans of the K Pop group and the hammer is Blackpink’s official concert glow stick, known as Hammer Bong.

As well as their combined group success, Lisa has also found immense musical success in her own right.

After she came out with solo hit Money in 2021, it became the first album and song by a K-pop solo artist to reach one billion streams on Spotify, respectively.

And in October, Pinkvilla reported that she became the first ever K-pop soloist to get two 14 million-like music videos on YouTube.

Last year she was also inducted into the Asian Hall of Fame for her work as a ‘Cultural Icon’. 

Over the Christmas period, she released a cover of Britney Spears’ My Only Wish – with the YouTube video racking up more than 10 million views in just a couple of months. 

Aside from Lisa’s professional successes, she has also recently been romantically linked to LVMH heir Frederic Arnault.

The pair sparked a flurry of dating rumours after they were spotted giggling together at an event in Venice this summer – prompting a furious investigation by amateur internet detectives who have aired even more evidence of a budding romance between the pair. 

Speculation about a relationship between the pair began when photos emerged of the alleged couple enjoying a laugh at the Bulgari Mediterranea High Jewelry event in Venice back in May, a moment that quickly sent fans on the hunt for more evidence of a blossoming romance.

This unearthed another photo of the pair sitting together at an airport lounge in Los Angeles as well as sightings in Paris and at multiple fashion events – while others began analyzing Lisa’s Instagram, insisting that her posts revealed a slew of clues hinting at a romance between the 26-year-old pop princess and the billionaire luxury fashion heir. 

Frederic, 28, is the son of the richest man in the world, Bernard Arnault. The patriarch is the chairman and CEO of LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton, and he and his family are worth about $212 billion, according to Forbes.

It is not clear when the pair first met, but Lisa has previously worked alongside brands that are part of the LVMH group.

She was Celine’s global ambassador for three years and collaborated with Bulgari on a limited-edition watch in 2023.

In November 2022, Frederic attended one of Blackpink’s concerts at the BMO Stadium in Los Angeles before posting a snap alongside the band members.

He and Lisa were then spotted giggling together at the Bulgari Mediterranean High Jewelry Event in Venice back in May as well as hanging out in Paris when the K-Pop star was on the group’s world tour.

Another photo also surfaced of the two at a private airport lounge in Los Angeles, California.

Neither Lisa nor Frederic have confirmed the status of their relationship.

DailyMail.com at the time had contacted representatives for TAG Heuer and Blackpink for comment.
