Lemon, 58, is set to wed Malone, 40, at Ralph Lauren's Polo bar half a decade after they were engaged and on his partner's birthday. Guests, including Lemon's former CNN boss Jeff Zucker (right), were seen arriving at the venue ahead of the formal event.

HARDCASTLE: One of the pleasures of being included in the Honours Lists - having a gong bestowed by a Royal Family member - could be a rare occurrence. With the King and the Princess of Wales out of action, a labour shortage has resulted in Lord Lieutenants' drafting to divide the burden. Lord Lieutenant Andrew Tryckish of Berkshire made his first appearance dispensing awards on Sunday. The MBE's recess, who are looking forward to either William or Anne, should have been deflated.

Warner Bros Discovery and Liberty Global, Abu Dhabi's investment behemoth and Gerry Cardinale's private equity company RedBird Capital Partners, will buy the All3Media London-based All3Media from its joint owners Warner Bros Discovery and Liberty Global, a joint venture between Abu Dhabi's top elite and Gerry Cardinale's private equity company RedBird Capital Partners. The step comes just months after Redbird IMI, which is run by US media executive Jeff Zucker, agreed to take over The Telegraph and The Spectator.

After CNN+'s epic loss, CNN boss Mark Thompson says it may be time to try a subscription service model again. According to The Wall Street Journal, a memo circulated across the corporation stating that CNN would soon integrate all aspects of its newsgathering system into a single unit that will link to the company's television, streaming, and digital platforms. Thompson said in a Journal interview that he is interested in investigating subscriptions that allow users access to video news on their smartphones. 'I don't believe anyone's yet cracked the code on how that translates, which really leads to a great news experience,' he said.

The National Crime Agency is investigating the Telegraph newspaper group for a'suspicious financial conduct' study.' According to The Times, the NCA has received information relating to possible financial abuses at the firm ahead of its sale to Abu Dhabi-backed investors. Ofcom and the government are also looking at the possibility of selling the newspaper, amid fears that the leaders of the United Arab Emirates could wield editorial control over the 168-year-old British newspaper. Yesterday, the crime service refused to comment, but it is reported that it will take seven days to determine what action, if any, will take as a result of the'suspious activity report.' After the Telegraph company was seized by Lloyds Bank from its founders, the Barclay family, of the Barclay family, a group of independent directors was named.

Sir Richard Dearlove called on the government to block the agreement, which he described as 'completely ineffective as a matter of principle.' He said yesterday that he is 'completely opposed' to the takeover of the Telegraph newspapers and The Spectator magazine by RedBird IMI, a fund funded by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the vice president of Abu Dhabi and a member of the royal family of Abu Dhabi. The deal has ignited questions over editorial integrity, and Culture Secretary Lucy Frazer has ordered a public interest inquiry into the purchase.

Lloyds received the cash after obtaining deposition of the newspaper company, which was operated by the Barclay family, due to a unpaid debt, after Lucy Frazer pleaded for an inquiry into the selling of RedBird IMI. The government has announced that it will investigate the next stage of the agreement, giving the Abu Dhabi-backed fund the right to operate. This means the Barclays will not retake control unless there are any changes in leadership or the dismissal of key editorial employees, which will not be reported until the conclusion of the probe. Tory MPs have expressed doubt over the company's transfer to Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, vice president of the UAE and owner of Manchester City FC.

Last night, the Culture Secretary stepped in a controversial bid to purchase the Daily Telegraph in the United Arab Emirates. Lucy Frazer asked the media watchdog to look at whether the tense agreement jeopardized "the desire for accurate reporting of news and free expression of opinion in newspapers." After concluding that the proposed takeover of the long-established newspaper by the RedBird IMI consortium led by the vice president of the Gulf state's warrant further inquiry, she released the Public Interest Intervention Notice (PIIN). Ofcom will consult with her on "the media public interest consideration," according to her, while the Competition and Markets Authority will focus on 'jurisdictional and antitrust issues' relating to the newspaper industry.

Government officials are suspected of investigating whether to issue an order used in corporate mergers to prohibit the former owners from exercising control of the paper until all debts on it are settled. Ministers have been advised by Tory MPs to prevent the selling of a UAE-based investment firm due to questions over Press freedom. Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan, deputy prime minister of Abu Dhabi and owner of Manchester City, is backing the company, RedBird IMI. Jeff Zucker (left), who is leading the Abu Dhabi-backed effort to take over the Telegraph, has argued that the newspaper's editorial independence would be safeguarded. Lucy Frazer (right), the culture minister, has said she is 'able' to order a public interest intervention notice before allowing the agreement to proceed, a development that is not likely to happen.

Jeff Zucker, who is known as a hero of sorts for assisting Donald Trump in ouster, will fly to London this week to speak with 'key stakeholders' from the Telegraph newspaper. The new contract is highly volatile, since it will place one of Britain's most influential news publishers under the jurisdiction of an undemocratic foreign country with a nation that is far less familiar with good journalism. This absolute monarchy, as critics have pointed out, is a complete stranger to the idea of Press freedom.

Lloyds Banking Group took over the Telegraph, which the Barclay family purchased in 2004, as a result of unpaid debts of £1.1 billion. The newspaper group, which owns the Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph titles, and The Spectator, a 195-year-old Conservative-leaning political journal, have been placed up for auction by the bank. However, the Barclay family has now pledged to repay the debt using funds from Abu Dhabi-backed investment fund RedBird IMI. Yesterday, the fund reported that it had reached an agreement with the Barclays'to release the titles out of receivership and ensure repayments were repaid, a pledge that would see the ownership transfer to Redbird IMI. Lloyds made no comment, but Lloyds did not respond. According to reports, the bank will need to complete a due diligence process, which may take a few weeks, but that in the meantime the selling process continues.

Warner Bros. Former CNN president Jeff Zucker has been chastised by Discovery and CNN chief David Zaslav, who has branded him "a little boy who had tears in his eyes." A New York Times article illuminates Zaslav's interactions with influential CNN executives, including Zucker and former CNN CEO Chris Licht, who was fired by Zaslav. Zaslav's reforms weren't the sole focus of his attention; several anchors, including Don Lemon and Brian Stelter, were fired; and, perhaps, firefighter Brian Stelter. Zaslav had been dreaming about what he would do to the fledgling news network long before he took over Discovery, but strained friendships and business relationships lay in his wake.

According to Semafor, Mark Thompson, the British media executive who edited The New York Times for eight years before 2020, is among those considered for CNN's top job. Since Chris Licht (inset) was fired in June after only 13 months, the network is in search of a new leader. Jeff Zucker (right) is another name suggested as a potential CNN chief, and it would be a stunning comeback. On Wednesday, Zucker, the founder of a media investment company, was seen in Manhattan.

A journalist for The Atlantic who sparked Chris Licht's dismissal as CNN's CEO has denied that his essay was 'inaccurate' and denied using off-the-record quotes. Tim Alberta has retaliated against Variety's Film and Media Editor, Tatiana Siegel, who delved into his article on Licht in a new piece, slamming her for 'credibly laundering false background information without seeking specific responses.' The Atlantic, which seemed to have had extraordinary access to light, treated Licht as a hero in the takedown of June 2, where Licht was interviewed at the gym and characterized himself as "a machine" – implying that his predecessor Jeff Zucker "couldn't do this s**t."

Jeff Zucker, CNN's defunct CEO, was planning to buy the network and enlist billionaires to join his group, according to Variety. He has denied the findings. Zucker and his allies had contacted Jeff Bezos (top right), Roman Abramovich (far right), Laurene Jobs Powell (bottom right), as well as Gulf sheikhs and European entrepreneurs, according to the magazine. A Warner Bros. 'Warner Bros.' Discovery is committed to CNN. It is not for sale.' Some analysts disagreed, but the prospect of a group of Gulf businessmen, Russians, and other international individuals owning a prized US asset would raise eyebrows.

Allison Gollust appears in a photo shared exclusively by DailyMail.com and another unidentified woman outside her Hamptons home on Monday. It's the first time the 49-year-old was seen holding hands with married CNN host Alisyn Camerota, inset, after her husband Jeff Zucker was seen holding hands with him as they left a party over the weekend. Gollust is still in a symbiosic relationship with Zucker, the former CNN CEO.

Camerota is still works at CNN and she is happily married to Tim Lewis, her husband of 21 years. She emerged from Lemon's home in Sag Harbor on Saturday holding hands with Zucker, who remains in a close friendship with Allison Gollust. Gollust was also at the party. She was five minutes late after Jeff and Alisyn. According to Page Six, there is nothing to the photos and that Jeff and Alisyn are just "old friends."

On July 3, when Lemon shared photos of them together in Italy, Jeff Zucker and Allison Gollust were pampered on summer romance on the Amalfi Coast. He was seen leaving Lemon's Hamptons pad hand-in-hand with another woman, married anchor Alisyn Camerota. According to reports close to them, they're just 'good friends' and were headed into town to visit Gollust, who had left alone five minutes before for a cup of coffee. The kids had all been at Lemon's house for a party to celebrate Sunny Hostin's latest book, Summer on Sag Harbor.

Jeff Zucker, the disgraced ex-CNN president, was seen leaving Don Lemon's ritzy Hamptons party holding hands in public with a married CNN anchor. Alisyn Camerota, 57, was elated as she walked hand-in-hand with Zucker on Saturday, whose mother Allison Gollust, 50, (left) had already paid him his executive duties at the media company last year. Tim Lewis, 57, a partner at a private equity firm in Fairfield County, Connecticut, is the mother-of-three, who also hosts CNN Tonight at 10 p.m. Zucker wore a blue shirt and white shorts in the New York summer heat, while Camerota wore a white blouse and black mini skirt. Camerota, the two-time Emmy Award nominee, was apparently cosying with Jeff Zucker. But this is not the first time he has done so with a CNN colleague. Zucker, 58, had a long-term love affair with his coworker Allison Gollust, which resulted in the break of both of their respective marriages in 2015 and 2017.

Saima Mohsin, a 46-year-old journalist, was covering Jerusalem's Israeli-Palestinian war when her cameraman ran over her left foot with a car, resulting in extensive tissue damage that left the journalist with a 'invisible disability.' According to Mohsin, the injury kept her from working full time and left her struggling to stand, sit, and walk. She claims to have called CNN for alternative careers at a time and place for recovery, which the corporation denied her.

The argument, made by a leading authority on foreign influence regulation, comes as reports continue to swirl about the possibility of selling the network from boss David Zaslav (right), with ousted Jeff Zucker (left) emerging as a front runner. Zucker, who has close business ties Abu Dhabi-based International Media Investments, was forced to resign 15 years into his CNN tenure after the company discovered he was having a chat with a fellow CNN executive just over a year ago. Following the surprise nixing of his replacement, former Late Show boss Chris Light, the 58-year-old is reportedly willing to take over the reins of the struggling news station, costing the struggling news station billions. According to Ivan Schlager of Kirkland & Ellis, such a deal could be costly, considering that a significant portion of Zucker's money may have been muted Middle Eastern country investment.

While reporting the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, a former NBC and CNN chief of sexual harassment was charged with sexual assault but Michael Bass, a former 'Today' show coordinating producer and her direct supervisor, shamelessly transferred her to her hotel room and allegedly assaulted her after an after-work function function. According to The Daily Beast, Rajaraman filed a lawsuit in Manhattan Supreme Court on Thursday, which also names the network's parent company, NBC/Universal Media. She's requesting recompense and punitive damages as a result of her life-altering illness in 1996.'

Catsimatidis (left) told DailyMail.com that he is'serious' about bidding for CNN and that if he is profitable, he will bring two million viewers back to the struggling network 'within 12 months.' The 74-year-old said he is determined to turn the company around, adding that he does't even want to get paid' and that if he does land the top job, he will make a salary of just $1,000. After reports revealed that he may be planning a move to return to the network, Catsimatidis also slammed former CEO Jeff Zucker's management of the firm as "a joke."

As insiders say a comeback is the 'absolute revenge' for his firing, fired CNN CEO Jeff Zucker (right) could profit from the network's latest woes by returning to his old position. According to reports, the 58-year-old is planning to capitalize on ex-CEO Chris Light's surprise dismissal of the network in time for the 2024 presidential election. Warner Bros. According to reports, Discovery CEO David Zaslav (left) is considering the possibility with the network. It comes after a turbulent year at CNN that has been plagued by issues including a failed town hall with Donald Trump and concerns with former anchor Don Lemon.
