LONDON, Oct 20 (Reuters) - Britain's competition regulator said on Tuesday it was seeking to loosen Apple's grip on contactless payments by proposing that the company lower fees and remove technical barriers, helping rival services compete with Apple Pay.

The Competition and Markets Authority said its proposals would result in "substantially lower access fees" and easier access to Apple's contactless technology, opening the market to competition from digital banks and other providers.

The proposed measures are less onerous than those imposed by the European Union in 2024, which included giving third-party wallet developers free access. Since then, companies including Vipps, PayPal, Klarna, Curve and BBVA have launched alternative payment apps, the CMA said.

CMA Chief Executive Sarah Cardell said the proposals would open the door to more innovation and more choice, as well as boosting Britain's important fintech sector.

"We have heard that high fees, strict terms, and technical restrictions relating to Apple's contactless technology make it too difficult for challengers to innovate and compete," she said.

"By removing barriers to entry, we can help create the conditions for brilliant British businesses with great ideas to develop new products and services here - from payment apps and digital IDs to travel passes and digital keys."

The CMA is consulting on the proposals until November 17, before making a final decision.

Contactless payments have grown rapidly in popularity, accounting for 39% of all payments, compared with just 3% a decade ago, the CMA said. More than 60% of adults use a digital wallet, with Apple Wallet the most popular in Britain, it added.

Apple said it had already made it possible for developers to offer contactless payments in their apps through NFC, which allows an iPhone to talk to a payments terminal or reader, and through its secure element, which stores sensitive material such as card credentials and cryptographic keys.

The company said this allowed developers to create products and services, including in-store payments, transit passes and event tickets, while ensuring users' sensitive data remained protected by the highest security standards.

"We do not believe the CMA should require Apple to adopt an approach with lower privacy and security protections," an Apple spokesperson said.

"We will continue to engage constructively to reach an outcome that is in the best interest of our users."

Billy Bush addressed rumors that he had an uncomfortable exchange with author Amy Griffin at Jennifer Meyer’s wedding.

Bush claims the writer of The Tell confronted him about his coverage of her legal battle in front of numerous guests.

Bush says that an A-list actress encouraged Griffin to talk to him at the wedding.

Billy Bush is sharing his side of a complicated, contentious story from a dazzling celebrity wedding.

The former Access Hollywood anchor addressed rumors that he got into a verbal row with author Amy Griffin at jewelry designer Jennifer Meyer’s star-studded wedding in Hawaii on Oct. 10.

“I’m gonna clear up the story of my encounter with Amy Griffin,” Bush said on a new episode of his show Hot Mics. “The moment I arrived in Lanai, I could feel her glare all over me. And she was telling anyone who would listen not to talk to me.”

Griffin rose to prominence with her 2025 memoir The Tell, which chronicled a personal tale of surviving harrowing sexual abuse that later had its authenticity challenged by the author’s former classmate, who filed an invasion of privacy lawsuit claiming the book is telling her story, not Griffin’s. The writer denied the allegations and sued the former classmate for defamation. Bush has investigated Griffin’s legal saga on Hot Mics, at one point opining that “it feels more than possible that this is memory appropriation” by the author.

Bush says he immediately noticed Griffin at the wedding because she wore “a bright red dress” to the event, and that an A-list actress allegedly encouraged the author to speak with him.

“I hear her and Demi Moore talking not far away. And Demi’s saying, ‘It’s okay, you can go talk to him,’” he says. “Like ‘Amy, it’s alright, stop!’ This whole scene is unfolding. And then finally, she comes at me. I can see that she’s coming.”

Bush claims Griffin tripped before making her way to him. “She stumbles, and her purse spills open entirely. Everything,” he says. “Mints are all over the place, and lipstick — everything is on the lawn. And Demi is helping her and they’re gathering up their things.”

Bush says Griffin was “shaking” when they finally spoke. “She says, ‘You don’t know me!’” he claims. “And I say, ‘No, I know you. You’re Amy Griffin.’ And she says, ‘No, you don’t know me!’”

The former TV host says he tried to defuse the situation. “I’m like, ‘Okay, I can see you’re upset,’” he recalls. “‘I don’t think this is the time nor the place to have this discussion. I’d love to talk to you on the record and-or off. Either way, at another time, but not now.’ But you know, I was calm and cool the whole time.”

Bush says the other guests complimented him and asked him about the confrontation. “Everyone kept coming up to me later,” he says, claiming people asked him, “Holy s---, what just went down? Oh my god, are you okay? You handled that beautifully.”

He also claims that as they were heading toward the main reception, Griffin approached Bush’s girlfriend Ali and asked how she could associate with him, allegedly saying, “How could you be with someone who’s abusing me?... He’s doing this for his entertainment.”

Bush added, “I mean, the nerve. This is another woman’s wedding. Imagine making it all about you, right? And the narcissism, assuming because of her great wealth and prominence that everyone should just swallow what she’s serving. I’m interested in the truth.”

Bush also said he spoke with the author’s husband, John, for an hour the following day. “I felt that he was nice, he was reasonable, even-tempered, and let’s just be real, husband of the century,” he said.

Entertainment Weekly has reached out to representatives for Griffin, Moore, and Meyer for comment.

Meyer’s wedding to Geoffrey Ogunlesi was officiated by her ex-husband, Tobey Maguire. Courteney Cox, Leonardo DiCaprio, Young Thug, Kate Hudson, Kris Jenner, and Jeff and Lauren Bezos were among the guests at the event.

MUNA’s tour bus caught fire on the 5 Freeway in Burbank, Calif., around 8:20 a.m. local time on Monday, Oct. 19

No injuries were reported as Burbank firefighters contained the blaze, and investigators will examine its cause

Guitarist Naomi McPherson recently stepped back from several tour dates to be with their terminally ill mother

MUNA is safe after their tour bus caught on fire in Los Angeles on Monday, Oct. 19.

The fire occurred while the indie pop band was traveling southbound on the 5 Freeway in Burbank, Calif., on Monday around 8:20 a.m. local time, KTLA reported. The Burbank Fire Department responded to the scene and contained the fire.

No injuries were reported, and the cause of the fire remains under investigation, the outlet reported.

PEOPLE has reached out to the Burbank Fire Department and California Highway Patrol.

The band posted an aerial shot of themselves as seen on KTLA.

“The band MUNA as seen on the news this morning,” the photo was captioned on Instagram. “Many personal items were lost but we’re all safe, thank goodness ❤️‍🩹.”

The incident comes just over a month after the group’s guitarist, Naomi McPherson, announced they would miss part of the band’s fall tour to prioritize time with their mother.

The indie pop trio — made up of Katie Gavin, Josette Maskin and McPherson — announced on Sept. 15 that McPherson, 33, would miss multiple shows at the beginning of the Gets So Hot tour to spend time with their mother Harriet, who had terminal cancer and was in her “final days.”

“Tragically, Naomi’s mother Harriet has been suffering for some time now from an extremely aggressive and terminal form of cancer that has escalated in severity over the past few weeks,” MUNA said in the statement. “Now, it has become clear that her passing will coincide with the beginning of this headline tour.”

The “Silk Chiffon” performers added that all tour dates will go on as scheduled, with a musician filling in for the absent member.

Following the death of their mother, McPherson later returned to the tour on Sept. 29.

Amid the recent personal upheaval, McPherson commented on the band’s post about the bus fire, jokingly writing, “If anyone could help me find the grandchild of the warlock whose curse is wreaking havoc on my life so that i can carry em up the mountain & fulfill the prophecy / undo the curse that has befallen me that would be much appreciated.”

The Chicago Bears released their first (estimated) injury report ahead of their Week 7 prime-time game against the New England Patriots.

The Chicago Bears are gearing up for a Week 7 showdown against the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football, where Chicago is looking to improve to 5-2 in the first of three straight prime-time games.

The Bears conducted a walkthrough on Monday, and participation was an estimate. The good news is quarterback Caleb Williams wasn't even on the injury report, an indication that he's good to go for Thursday night on a short week after his first full game of action since returning from a hamstring injury. Meanwhile, right guard Jonah Jackson, who suffered a hip and quad injury on Sunday, was listed as a non participant, as well as running back Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe), linebacker T.J. Edwards (hamstring) and linebacker Jack Sanborn (concussion).

Kylie Jenner at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2026.Michael Buckner/WWD via Getty ImagesVictoria's Secret's Fantasy Bra returned to the brand's fashion show in 2026, with Kylie Jenner modeling the most expensive iteration ever created. -

The Fantasy Bra was a staple of the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show before it was canceled in 2019.

The diamond-encrusted bra was always extravagant and worn by a top model at the VS Fashion Show.

Kylie Jenner brought it back in 2026, modeling the most expensive Fantasy Bra ever created.

Victoria's Secret brought some extra sparkle to its runway on Sunday night.

The brand's annual fashion show, which returned in 2024 after being canceled five years earlier, was held in Los Angeles, with models including Adriana Lima and Barbara Palvin donning their wings for the occasion.

Since making its comeback, the fashion show has been more than a spectacle for Victoria's Secret. It's also been a way to attract a new generation of shoppers by leaning into nostalgia. Elizabeth Preis, Victoria's Secret's chief marketing officer, previously told Fast Company that the show was about "brand consideration for the audience that doesn't currently shop with us."

This year, the brand ramped up its social media promotion and made 17 times as many runway items available to purchase, Barron's reported.

The 2026 show also brought back a symbol of Victoria's Secret's heyday: the Fantasy Bra, an elaborate piece of lingerie often worth millions that hadn't appeared on the runway since 2018.

Kylie Jenner modeled the bra for its comeback. Designed by Jacob & Co., it's the most expensive Fantasy Bra ever created at $50 million.

Take a look back at other Fantasy Bras Victoria's Secret has designed over the years.

The Fantasy Bra was first introduced by Victoria's Secret in 1996 via a massive New York City billboard.

Worn by Claudia Schiffer, the diamond-encrusted lingerie was dubbed the "Million Dollar Miracle Bra."

It was modeled for the Victoria's Secret catalog and advertisements, such as the massive one displayed in New York City.

Tyra Banks wore the next one in 1997.

The "Diamond Dream Bra" was much more understated than the original. It was crafted from white satin, lined with diamonds, and had one 42-carat teardrop gem hanging from its center.

Though the bra cost $3 million, it was never modeled on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway — only by Banks at a private event held later.

Gisele Bündchen modeled the "Red Hot Fantasy Bra" in 2000.

The ruby-covered bra and matching panties modeled by Bündchen for a catalog were the most expensive lingerie set created by Victoria's Secret at the time, costing $15 million when they were designed.

Heidi Klum sparkled in 2001 when she donned a less colorful but equally extravagant version of the garment.

Called the "Heavenly Star Fantasy Bra," the sparkling white piece was decorated with 1,200 Sri Lankan pink sapphires, 2,300 round white diamonds arranged in a wave pattern, and a 90-carat diamond at the center.

It cost $12.5 million on its own, making it the most expensive bra in the world at the time, according to the Guinness World Records. It was also the first Fantasy Bra modeled during a televised Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

Karolína Kurková was chosen to debut the 2002 "Star of Victoria Fantasy Bra."

The $10 million piece had a floral theme, with 1,150 rubies in the shape of roses, 1,600 emeralds arranged like leaves, and diamonds forming smaller flowers around them.

Like its predecessor, this Fantasy Bra also featured a massive diamond in its center — this one a 60-carat Mouawad Mondera stone.

Klum returned in 2003 with an $11 million bra that took 370 hours to make.

Dubbed the "Very Sexy Fantasy Bra," the 2003 design was a chainmail-style piece made from a mix of 2,809 white diamonds, yellow-orange sapphires, rhodolites, and amethysts.

It also featured the Mouawad Excelsior Diamond —a 69-carat piece cut from the second-largest diamond in the world — hanging from its center.

Likely because it was see-through, Klum modeled it on the runway over a standard red bra.

The "Sexy Splendor Fantasy Bra" took center stage in 2005.

Modeled by Gisele Bündchen, the see-through piece cost $12.5 million and was crafted from 22 rubies and 2,900 pavé-set diamonds in a floral pattern.

Hanging from its middle strap was the 101-carat Mouawad Splendor Diamond pendant.

Kurková modeled her second Fantasy Bra in 2006.

The "Hearts on Fire Fantasy Bra" was one of the most dazzling ever seen on the Victoria's Secret runway.

Valued at $6.5 million, the silver bra was covered in tiny diamonds from its straps to its cups. It also had two thin straps in the middle, with a 10-carat flower-shaped pendant hanging from them.

Victoria's Secret put a holiday twist on the famous lingerie in 2007.

The diamond-covered, $4.5 million "Very Sexy Holiday" bra — modeled by Selita Ebanks — stood out thanks to the rubies, emeralds, and yellow sapphires arranged in the shape of holly across its cups.

Its Mouawad gems totaled 1,662.51 carats.

It was covered in black diamonds and had strings of rubies and white diamonds across it, for a total of 3,900 gems.

Victoria's Secret kept the edgy aesthetic going in 2009.

The black "Harlequin Fantasy Bra" modeled by Marisa Miller was lined with white diamonds and decorated with brown gems in crisscross patterns — the work of Italian jeweler Damiani.

The $3 million piece also included a 16-carat heart-shaped diamond hanging from its center.

The Fantasy Bra returned to its roots in 2010.

Lima modeled the "Bombshell Fantasy Bra," a $2 million semi-sheer garment set with 3,000 diamonds, sapphires, and topaz stones, in shapes inspired by stars and constellations.

It took 1,500 hours for Damiani to create the piece.

The 2011 "Fantasy Treasure Bra" was blue and lined with pearls.

Modeled by Miranda Kerr, the $2.5 million bra — designed by London Jewelers of New York — was covered in a mix of 3,400 diamonds, citrines, aquamarines, and pearls, the latter of which were also strung in rows beneath its cups.

Like other Fantasy Bras before it, the 2011 piece featured massive white and yellow diamonds, each weighing around 8 carats, that hung from its center.

Alessandra Ambrosio was selected to walk the 2012 runway in the "Floral Fantasy Bra."

Another London Jewelers of New York creation, the peach-colored bra was valued at $2.5 million.

It had amethysts, sapphires, rubies, and diamonds in the shape of flowers set in 18-karat pink and yellow gold, as well as a 20-carat radiant-cut diamond hanging from a sparkling pendant.

The "Royal Fantasy Bra" was worn by Candice Swanepoel in 2013.

Designed by Mouawad, the "Royal Fantasy Bra" featured 5,400 multicolored gems — a mix of diamonds, rubies, and sapphires — and 18-karat yellow gold.

Its center stone, adorned with a diamond bow, was a 52-carat pear-shaped ruby.

The next year was the first and only time Victoria's Secret created two Fantasy Bras.

Crafted over 1,380 hours by Mouawad artists, the "Dream Angels Fantasy Bras" stood out in 2014 thanks to an array of diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and multicolored gems over 18-karat gold.

Adriana Lima modeled the blue version, and Alessandra Ambrosio modeled the red. Each cost $2 million.

The 2015 Fantasy Bra, modeled by Lily Aldridge, had a summer flair.

Called the "Fireworks Fantasy Bra," the $2 million piece was covered in 6,808 gemstones.

White diamonds covered its cups, while multicolored sapphires, garnets, amethysts, topazes, tourmalines, peridots, quartzes, citrines, and tsavorites were used to create the firework-esque swirls across them.

Created over 700 hours by Aziz and Walid Mouzannar, the $3 million bra was one of the most luxurious ever made for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.

The geometric piece featured 9,000 round-cut diamonds and emeralds in clusters, creating a cutout effect across its cups.

Lais Ribeiro sported the "Champagne Nights Fantasy Bra" in 2017.

This $2 million piece was created with 6,000 white diamonds, yellow sapphires, and blue topazes.

While the bra featured a signature stone hanging from its center — a giant blue topaz — its golden collar with a second loose gem was unique.

Elsa Hosk modeled the Fantasy Bra created by Victoria's Secret in 2018, before the brand took a hiatus from the runway.

Designed by Atelier Swarovski, the $1 million "Dream Angels Fantasy Bra" was a netted bralette covered in 2,100 tiny diamonds.

It also had diamond-encrusted rope straps and a matching body chain that sat across it.

Kylie Jenner brought the Fantasy Bra back to the Victoria's Secret runway in 2026.

Jenner walked the runway in the much-anticipated bra, designed by Jacob Arabo of Jacob & Co., to the cheers of Kris Jenner and Timothée Chalamet.

Arabo said ahead of the show that it was his goal to create "the most expensive Fantasy Bra ever made," and he delivered.

The bra was made entirely of diamonds and gold, unlike bras from past years that had a fabric base. It was made of 4,410 diamonds in total, including a 75.54-carat Natural Fancy Vivid Yellow diamond hanging from the center, as Victoria's Secret shared on Instagram after the show.

The 2026 Fantasy Bra took over 1,000 hours to make and is worth a whopping $50 million.

Ciara Miller wishes Dancing With the Stars had shown viewers more than her messy Summer House love triangle.

On the October 8 episode of the "Dancing With the Stars Official Podcast," Miller reflected on her experience after being eliminated alongside professional dance partner Brandon Armstrong. She said the competition placed too much emphasis on the fallout involving herself, ex-boyfriend West Wilson and former friend Amanda Batula.

Ciara Miller believes her personal accomplishments deserve just as much attention as her romantic relationships.@DANCINGWITHTHESTARS/YOUTUBE

"I spent seven years, almost, on reality TV. When I started, I was 24, and I'm 30 now," Miller told host Andy Richter. "So, I think, I'm so much more than what happened in this past year — [more than] a betrayal of friendship."

For Miller, her time in the spotlight has been about more than navigating friendships and relationships, and she wishes DWTS had highlighted the accomplishments she's made outside of Bravo.

Miller Wishes 'DWTS' Highlighted Her Accomplishments

Although she became a familiar face on Bravo's Summer House, she has built a career outside reality television.

The former ICU nurse spent six years working in health care, moved to New York City at 25 and later expanded her television résumé with appearances on The Traitors and hosting duties on Love Island: Aftersun.

She explained that she hoped her participation in DWTS would introduce audiences to those aspects of her life.

"In my sphere, I'm trying to pave the way for girls that look like me aside from, like, the scandal," she shared. "So I wish that was maybe mentioned more."

Miller Gets Emotional While Praising Brandon Armstrong

Despite her disappointment with the show's storytelling, Miller had nothing but praise for Armstrong.

The influencer became emotional while discussing how much her dance partner's patience and encouragement meant to her.

"Brandon is really so patient," she shared. "Having a guy show up week after week — even though it's been a short process, still — to have someone be reliable and present and cheering you on is hard to put into words."

Miller Reflects on Her Early 'DWTS' Elimination

Miller and Armstrong were eliminated during the October 6 episode of Dancing With the Stars, which celebrated Mariah Carey's music.

The pair performed a jazz routine to Carey's hit "Emotions" and earned 21 of 30 points from the judges. Despite their efforts, they received insufficient viewer votes to advance to the next round.

Although Miller's ballroom journey ended sooner than expected, she hopes viewers will remember her determination and growth rather than the Summer House drama that followed her onto the dance floor.
