Canada's immigration minister, Marc Miller, announced that people in the Gaza Strip with Canadian relatives will be able to apply for temporary visas to Canada. The program is expected to be operational by January 9th and will prioritize individuals with extended family connections, such as parents, grandparents, siblings, and grandchildren. However, the Canadian government cannot guarantee safe passage out of Gaza. The visas will be valid for three years, and while the exact number of individuals who will be able to come to Canada is uncertain, it is expected to be in the hundreds.
Gwyneth Paltrow, along with other celebrities, has expressed concerns about the term "nepo baby" and its impact on their careers. Paltrow believes that defining a celebrity's success solely based on their family connections is unfair and overlooks their own achievements. She wants her children to pursue their ideal careers without being judged or limited by their parents' fame. Other celebrities, such as Lily-Rose Depp and Kate Hudson, have also defended themselves against the term, emphasizing the hard work they put into their careers. However, some celebrities, like Jamie Lee Curtis and Willow Smith, feel that the term diminishes their individual accomplishments and choose not to be bothered by it.
