I Want What They Have: Taika Waititi and Rita Ora (Vogue.com)

If there is one thing I truly love in this world, it's a surprise wedding. Go off! Elope! Tie the knot in a chill, romantic, fun way that does not require ...

(I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that Ora was forced to come out as bi after she received heat online for her song “Girls,” and we really should have left her alone after that. This is extreme lesbian energy—said with deep respect—and honestly, not since the pair’s brief entanglement with Tessa Thompson have I respected them so much. (Just kidding: if you’re my friend and you’re eloping, I’m still getting you a present—and in fact, you’ll get a much finer class of gift in exchange for not making me wear heels.) It seems the latest celebrity couple to tie the knot in an impromptu fashion is Taika Waititi and Rita Ora, who, according to multiple reports, recently married “in an intimate ceremony in London.” Chic!

Rita modelled an array of dazzling outfits in the post, yet it was her jewellery that caught the eye as she was spotted wearing a gold band that matched the one Taika was also seen wearing in a previous snap.

Taika Waititi: Transphobic Tweets Resurface From 2013 - Solzy at ... (Solzy at the Movies)

Oscar-winning filmmaker Taika Waititi is in hot water this week after nine-year-old transphobic tweets resurfaced from 2013.

I didn’t come out to myself as transgender until late 2015 but that doesn’t change the fact that these tweets are transphobic and he needs to apologize. Why he didn’t think to delete the tweets are beyond me. According to online texts that I’ve read, the term can also be derogatory in nature. Waititi doubled down in the replies to the above tweet. Caro immediately points out that their “trans* friends who struggle with suicide daily due to similar comments hardly think so.” To which the filmmaker responds, “my trans friends can walk in heels. I’m not sure how the tweets first resurfaced this week but the tweets went viral as the Thor: Love and Thunder filmmaker was ratioed on Twitter.
