News about Mellody Hobson

Starbucks announced on Tuesday that Niccol (left) would take over from Laxman Narasimhan (right), who stepped down abruptly after spending a little more than a year in the top job. Niccol, who was lauded for his successful turnaround at Burrito chain Chipotle, will take the reins as the coffee giant's chairman and CEO on September 9. 'Right now he's considered to be almost the LeBron James or the Tom Brady or the [Lionel] Messi of the restaurant industry,' Bernstein analyst Danilo Gargiulo said.

George Lucas sweetly held hands with his wife Mellody Hobson as he accepted an honorary Palme d'Or on the penultimate day of the Cannes Film Festival on Friday. The Academy Award-winning filmmaker, 80, looked handsome in a navy blue suit and a blue tartan shirt, dressing down in white Nike trainers. Mellody, 55, the current chairwoman of Starbucks and the former chairwoman of DreamWorks, looked gorgeous in a yellow co-ord.

GQ's second annual Global Creativity Awards, which celebrates the world's most fearless and inspiring creatives, turned into a star-studded affair at the WSA Building in New York City. Coming in fresh off the end of his run on Curb Your Enthuiasm, J.B. Smoove served as the host of the black tie awards gala. Legendary filmmaker George Lucas and his wife and businesswoman Mellody Hobson were among the many high-profile people to be on hand to ledn their support. Before heading inside for the ceremony, the couple made their way to the red carpet for a round or two of photos together, where they posed with their arms wrapped around each other. Lucas, 79, stepped out in a dark blue suit with a white dress shirt and black sneakers, while also sporting a well-manicured full beard and mustache.

On Saturday night, President Joe Biden was wowed by George Lucas' $32 million Bel Air mansion to woo Democratic voters who were in town for the Grammys. On Saturday afternoon, Biden arrived in Los Angeles and headed straight for the 9,000 square foot, 9-bath home in a private, gated neighborhood. Jill Biden, who was driving with her husband to the West Coast, swung off to attend her own function with supporters. Biden was reported to be speaking with black entertainment executives. Mellody Hobson, Lucas' wife, is both the CEO and the chairwoman of Starbucks Corporation. She is the former chairwoman of DreamWorks Animation.

On Wednesday night, George Lucas made a rare appearance at the Los Angeles premiere of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The legendary writer and director wore a red and white plaid dress shirt under a dark jacket with a groomed beard.

The war against the ruling family was never declared in Colorado. Rather, war broke out in-house, a long, public domestic feud involving heirs to one of America's most profitable franchises. When the Denver Broncos were auctioned for $3.87 billion last summer, they eventually arrived D-Day. It had been tumultuous and bitter. It all came with the richest takeover in sports history. So, with all the green and gold and bile being thrown their way, the Glazers' succession strategy at Manchester United seems more stifled. United's sale, which came to a halt last night, may be even more profitable. Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United States, and the United Kingdom are all interested in the country. The Broncos were not short of suitors, either - NFL teams do not appear on the market often. Among the bidders? Todd Boehly, whose group acquired Chelsea, was a sponsor of Chelsea.

Allison Yarrow, a guest on the Duchess of Sussex's Archetypes podcast, thanked a producer from Gimlet Media for 'an excellent interview.' Though Alison seemed not to have talked to Meghan for the podcast episode, several guests, including Meghan's close friends Mellody Hobson, Jameela Jamil, and Serena Williams, are among those featured on the show.

In her latest Archetypes podcast for Spotify, Duchess of Sussex says that the 'B-word' is being used to'gaslight' women who know what they want. Meghan also dislikes the word 'pushy,' and admits to moderating her behaviour in order to not be perceived in this way. Meghan says, "This woman is very difficult" because people say "b**ch" when they say "b**ch." Which is mainly a euphemism or worse, not even a euphemism. It's actually a codeword for the B-word.' She continued to use the word 'difficult' as a way to express women. "My friend explained to me that not everyone is going to like you, but not everyone is going to like you, but not everyone is going to like you, but the aim can't be for them to love you.' This week, Meghan speaks to executives and entrepreneurs, including Mellody Hobson, who was the first black woman to serve as chairperson of a S&P 500 firm. George Lucas, a Star Wars creator, is married to her. This episode is titled "To 'B' or not to 'B'. Victoria Jackson, Meghan's make up mogul and friend, appears in 'B'. In Montecito, Ms Jackson is one of the Sussex 'close knit group of friends.'
