Brooklyn Beckham’s Shirt Wants to Know: Is It Clocking to You Yet?

Brooklyn Beckham’s Shirt Wants to Know: Is It Clocking to You Yet?

Published by Jenni Sidey

There are plenty of things that Brooklyn Peltz Beckham could’ve worn to go shopping in Paris this weekend. A plain tee, perhaps. Maybe a nice jumper. Instead, he went with an conspicuous long-sleeve top that read, “It’s not clocking to you.” Which, given the week he’d just had, was always gonna get clocked. Out with wife Nicola Peltz Beckham over the weekend, Beckham wore the slogan tee while heading to a flea market in the French capital. The couple were in town for Paris Fashion Week. You probably don’t need the full run-down to understand why the wording got some attention, but just in case: Justin Bieber is involved. But first, some Bieber studies. The phrase comes from Justin Bieber’s confrontation with paparazzi in Malibu last summer. “It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business,” he said, trying to explain that he was serious about being left alone. Unfortunately, he’d said it in a way that people immediately wanted to repeat. Quite a lot of people. For quite a long time. Bieber eventually …

For Jewish activists in Brooklyn, Yom Kippur becomes a day to mourn Palestinians

For Jewish activists in Brooklyn, Yom Kippur becomes a day to mourn Palestinians

Published by Sam Flores

NEW YORK (RNS) — Hundreds of Jewish New Yorkers marked Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement, on Monday (Sept. 21) with a mourning ritual memorializing Palestinians killed in the Israel-Hamas war. A few days before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s highly anticipated visit for the U.N. General Assembly, the gathering also served to denounce how the Israeli government has handled the war. Brad Lander, a New York Democratic nominee for Congress, who is Jewish, addressed the crowd gathered at Brooklyn’s Grand Army Plaza by denouncing Netanyahu’s visit and what he described as a “genocide” happening in Gaza. He said he belonged to a group of Jews “who say no to ethnic cleansing, who say no to human-made famine, who say no to the use of U.S. tax dollars to bomb entire families, who say no to war criminals in our city this holy week or any week.” In the city that’s home to the largest Jewish population in the U.S., Netanyahu’s visit has prompted divides — especially after Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a staunch Israel …

Brooklyn Beckham reposts bizarre seawater pasta video from a year ago — and gets roasted all over again

Brooklyn Beckham reposts bizarre seawater pasta video from a year ago — and gets roasted all over again

Published by Daniella Wilson

Brooklyn Beckham has once again stirred controversy by quietly reposting a year-old cooking video that proved divisive when he first shared it. The aspiring chef, 27, initially sparked backlash in July 2025 with the clip, which was used to promote his Cloud23 hot sauce. Resharing the post on TikTok last week, he tagged his hot sauce brand in the caption and began the video explaining that he was going to make tomato pasta. It then cut to a clip of him standing at the back of a luxury yacht, scooping water seemingly from the ocean into a big pot. Beckham then brought the pot back onto the yacht, using it to boil spaghetti. The online food and wine influencer chopped up a bunch of tomatoes and added them to an oiled pan, which he then lathered in his signature Cloud23 hot sauce. While the meal itself looked perfectly edible, the fact that he used seawater to cook the pasta sparked outrage among many of his followers, just as it had the first time around. “Today …

Brooklyn Beckham praises billionaire father-in-law in latest family snub

Brooklyn Beckham praises billionaire father-in-law in latest family snub

Published by Daniella Wilson

Brooklyn Peltz Beckham has publicly lauded his father-in-law, billionaire Nelson Peltz, as “the best” on his birthday, a gesture that comes amid an ongoing and highly publicised family dispute with his own parents, Sir David and Lady Victoria Beckham. The 27-year-old has maintained a notable distance from his football star father and former Spice Girl mother, having made no public appearances with them nor acknowledged them on social media since an explosive statement he posted in January. This silence was particularly evident when his celebrity parents shared family photographs, including their eldest son, in a Father’s Day tribute, to which Peltz Beckham offered no online response. On Thursday, he took to Instagram Stories to celebrate his father-in-law, sharing a photograph of them together at a party. The accompanying caption read: “Happy birthday Nelson. I love you so much. I’m so happy I could celebrate you today! Thank you for being the best father-in-law.” Nelson Peltz (left) and Brooklyn Beckham and daughter Nicola Peltz (Getty) Peltz Beckham married Nelson Peltz’s daughter, model Nicola Peltz, in 2022. …

Radiohead Spectacle in Brooklyn Teems with Paintings, Sculpture, Film

Even after the recent addition of a Wegmans and Wells Fargo gave the entrance the sanitized shine of a suburban shopping center, it would be hard to overstate the strangeness and surreality of the inner parts of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The post-industrial buildings at eye-popping scales hiss and wheeze, and everything in the expansive grounds covered with toppled cobblestones and disused train tracks has the air of a haunted sanctum. (Think “The Zone” in Andrei Tarkovsky’s Stalker.) All of that makes it perfect for Radiohead, which is presenting a multimedia installation, exhibition, and screening experience called Motion Picture House KID A MNESIA at the Navy Yard through the end of May. It’s a seven-minute walk from the gated entrance to the building that serves as its site, past mysterious alleyways and a network of giant silver pipes that are the city’s most mesmerizing source of drone aside from La Monte Young. Once inside, the site itself is large, comparable to the Park Avenue Armory but far less fancy. Source link

Erotic Gauguin Panel to be Examined by Brooklyn Museum Conservators

In August, the Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation announced that it was dispersing all 63 artworks in its possession to three art museums: the Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Brooklyn Museum. Among the 29 artworks gifted to the Brooklyn Museum—many of them paintings and sculptures by Chaïm Soutine, Edgar Degas, and Amedeo Modigliani—is Paul Gauguin’s painted relief panel Te Fare Amu, dated to the late 1800s or early 1900s, depending on the source. The panel was initially intended to adorn the entrance to Gauguin’s home in Polynesia. Source link

The tech worker cleaning condoms and old socks off the Brooklyn Bridge: ‘People have no shame’

Published by Sam Flores

On a blisteringly cold day earlier this month, Ellen Baum was not in the best mood as she walked across the Brooklyn Bridge to meet some friends in Manhattan. “I had read particularly horrible news that morning about, you know, the general state of the world,” said Baum, who is 37 and works in tech. And then there was the garbage. Baum stared at the dirty tissues, hair ties, trash bags and socks affixed to the suspension bridge’s frame – sometimes she even sees condoms and tampons woven into the fencing – and had a thought. “I can’t do anything about some of these big problems that the world and the city are facing. But I can do one modicum of something nice.” So she started cleaning up. Ellen Baum. Photograph: Alan Barnett It took her eight days and about 16 hours to finish clearing the north side of the littered section, with Baum putting in 90-minute to two-hour shifts. Her trash-collecting crusade gained the attention of local media and concerned New Yorkers who have …

The Beckhams all got into the Valentine’s Day spirit this year with their significant others, but Harper Beckham seemed to have family on her mind amid the ongoing Beckham brood feud. The 14-year-old extended love to her estranged brother, Brooklyn, nearly one month on from his explosive post, with a heartwarming social media gesture.  The youngest Beckham shared a sweet Valentine’s message to her brothers – Romeo, Cruz and Brooklyn – on her private account, which Romeo shared publicly and replied with an infinity symbol. Harper reminisced on their childhood with a throwback photo of her and her siblings in a pool – including Brooklyn, whom she hugged in the picture. “I love you all so much, words can’t describe it x,” she wrote, tagging all three of her brothers’ Instagram handles.  Her mum, Victoria Beckham, reposted another message in which Harper had addressed all three of her brothers: “Happy Valentine’s Day to the best big brothers in the whole wide world x,” she captioned the second childhood photo. The Valentine’s gesture comes after Brooklyn …

Brooklyn vs the Beckhams: Where does the truth lie?

Published by Daniella Wilson

In celebrity culture’s most explosive social media post since 2019’s Wagatha Christie saga, Brooklyn Beckham has shared his side of the story regarding his long-rumoured feud with his family. But what is the truth? After years of reports about a falling out between him and his wife, Nicola Peltz, and his parents, David and Victoria, the eldest of the Beckham kids has shared a series of bombshell claims on Instagram. In his six-slide Story post, the 26-year-old makes several shocking allegations and addresses rumours that have been circulating for years. Here’s a look back at how the drama has unfolded over the years – and, crucially, how Brooklyn’s new claims differ from the previous narrative. April 2022: Rumours of a Peltz-Beckham feud began circulating around Brooklyn and Nicola’s Palm Beach wedding.
