Megan Thee Stallion's L.A. home was recently ransacked by two thieves who stole hundreds of thousands in cash and goods. The rapper, however, is looking at the bright side as nobody got hurt during the incident. She was not home when the thieves broke into her house and she got to know about the incident much later.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ that two men dressed in hoodies and gloves broke a glass door at the back of the singer's pad on Thursday night. After entering her primary bedroom, they stole about $300,000 and $400,000 in cash and goods.

Grammy Award-winning rapper Megan, whose real name is Megan Jovon Ruth Pete, reacted to the incident via Twitter post. She wrote, "Material things can be replaced but I’m glad everyone is safe."

In the next tweet, she wrote, "Hotties im really sorry but after SNL I really gotta take a break I’m so tired, physically and emotionally. (sic)"

The singer has been in&nbsp;New York for some time to prepare for Saturday Night Live. And, according to her tweet, she is planning to take a break after the SNL appearance.

After the Grammy Awards committee decided not to put Nicki Minaj's Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single 'Super Freaky Girl' in the rap category, the 39-year-old took to social media to call them out. And, from her posts, it's evident that the rapper is not happy with the Academy deeming her song as a pop track. She accused the Grammys of treating the artists that straddle the crossover line differently and not being fair.&nbsp;

To put forth her opinion, the rapper tweeted on Thursday, "I have no prob being moved out the RAP category as long as we r ALL being treated FAIRLY. (sic)" She further added, "If SFG (‘Super Freaky Girl’) has 2B moved out RAP then so does Big Energy!," referring to the Latto's hit number. “ANY1 who says diff is simply a Nicki hater or a troll.”

Later, Nicki shared&nbsp;a 17-minute-long video on Instagram to slam the Academy for their decision. "If you can’t tell by now that there is a concerted effort to give newer artists things that they really don’t deserve over people who have been deserving for many years, then you’re not paying attention. And by the way, this is not to say any song is bad or any female rapper is bad. I always say this: Any rapper, female or male, that wins a Grammy, you should be fucking proud of yourself. But why is the goalpost only ever moved when it’s Nicki? Well, I’ll tell you why. They don’t want the people that they have in the industry to go up against me."

Nicki indicated that her song has more chances of winning in the Rap category instead of the Pop category. "Now what do you think is gonna happen when they start voting on these pop categories? And it’s a bunch of people, white or wherever they’re from, or older, and they have to decide between Nicki Minaj and Harry Styles, or Nicki Minaj and Adele? That’s purposely designed so Nicki is not in the (rap) category that we don’t want any competition in. Put her in there (in pop) so she has more competition and less of a chance to win."

She continued, "They move the goalposts when it comes to me because, in order for them to uplift the people who they want to shine, the people who these corporate giants can make the money off of, the people who control a lot of things behind the scenes, they have to elevate someone that they profit off."

"There is an agenda because I am not signed to a 360, and for years, there was a certain label that had to pay me nonstop for their features," Nicki expounded.

On the latest episode of Hulu's 'The Kardashians' season 2, SKIMS founder Kim Kardashian shared that she's&nbsp;feeling run down after dealing with several different&nbsp;crises at once. She opened up about Kanye West's negative public comments against her and her family. And, she clarified her stance on the same.&nbsp;

While sitting across from her sisters Khloé Kardashian and Kendall Jenner at a dinner table, Kim revealed that she is feeling exhausted by the false narratives that portray her in a negative light. Speaking of her ex-husband, Kim said, "Kanye posted that 'I can't see the kids,' and I'm like, 'You were here this morning. Stop with this narrative."

She further added, "I can't take it anymore. But then I don't want to go back and forth on the internet," to which Khloe replied, "It's all gaslighting. All of this is whatever narrative everyone wants to believe."

Earlier this year, Kim&nbsp;faced backlash for advising women to get their "f---ing ass up and work" in a Variety profile released&nbsp;in March.&nbsp;The 41-year-old business mogul also dealt with&nbsp;Kanye West's damaging public comments about her. Then she was also in news for her split with comedian Pete Davidson.&nbsp;

Kardashians often come under fire for promoting unrealistic body and beauty standards. They are often slammed on social media for being secretive about their plastic surgeries and artificial beauty enhancements.&nbsp;

Kim, meanwhile, has mostly been in the news due to Kanye's online breakdowns.&nbsp;

The fourth episode of 'The Kardashians' season 2 dropped on OTT platforms on Thursday. Filming for season 3 has already begun, according to Kourtney's latest Instagram post.&nbsp;

To shut down separation rumours that were triggered by her decision to remove her husband David Beckham's initials tattoo, fashion designer and former Spice Girls member Victoria Beckham spoke about the status of her 20-year-long marriage in a recent interview.

During a candid conversation at Today with Hoda &amp; Jenna, Victoria revealed that she was just a bit sick of the tattoo as it had started to bleed from the sides and almost looked blueish in colour. Slamming those who claimed that she is going through a rough patch in her married life, she shared that she has no plans to leave her husband and is very happy with her beau.&nbsp;

"I had these tattoos a long, long time ago, and they just weren't particularly delicate," Victoria said. "My husband has so many gorgeous tattoos, and the children do, and they're very fine, and they've had them created by the most phenomenal artists, but mine were just a little bit thick, and they were bleeding, a little bit, and just not looking as pretty."

She continued, "They started to bleed and got almost like, a sort of blue-y colour, so they just didn't look so nice. It doesn't mean anything more than that. I think the media started to speculate, was I leaving my husband? No. I was just a bit sick of the tattoo. It’s as simple as that."

Victoria and David were also spotted at a fancy NYC restaurant on&nbsp;Wednesday night. They probably were out on a date.&nbsp;

Victoria also spoke about her latest presentation at Paris Fashion Week. "Professionally, I've just had a very big, big moment for my brand," the star said. "Finally, post-COVID, going back to showing my collections with my first big show in Paris felt like such a triumph."

The designer added,&nbsp;"In the middle of the pandemic I said, 'If I'm lucky enough to do another show I'm going to really, really enjoy it.'"

A week ahead of 'Black Adam's release, the end-credits scene of the DC superhero movie leaked online and went viral. However, within a few hours of the leak, Twitter took stringent actions against the accounts flouting the clip via their handles and pulled down the videos for violating the app's guidelines that prohibit the use of&nbsp;copyrighted material.

Twitter confirmed to Variety that it has removed the content in line with its rules. A TikTok spokesperson similarly said it has pulled down 'Black Adam' leaked&nbsp;videos for violating the app’s guidelines that prohibit sharing copyrighted material.

Now, when you click on the leaked posts, you can only see a message that reads, "This media has been disabled in response to a report by the copyright owner."

According to reports, the leaked video showed Henry Cavill as Superman&nbsp;stepping out from a veil of smoke and confronting Black Adam. He says, “It’s been a while since anyone’s made the world this nervous.”

Johnson has been vocal about wanting to bring Black Adam to the big screen in a standalone movie&nbsp;so that he could one day make a Black Adam vs. Superman film. Johnson reiterated that in a recent&nbsp;interview with Entertainment Tonight.

“I can tell you that the whole goal and initiative of Black Adam was to build out the DC Universe by introducing not only Black Adam, but the entire JSA [Justice Society of America],” Johnson told ET.

He continued, “So, for years, audiences have been so passionate and vocal about – we’ve established Black Adam as the most powerful and unstoppable force on our planet. But the fans have been so passionate about… ‘Where is the most unstoppable force in the universe? Where is he?’ Well… we’ve all been fighting for this moment, so I will say this: Welcome home.”

At the time, seven tour dates were affected in Michigan, Minnesota and throughout Canada.

American Music Awards 2022: Taylor Swift, Bad Bunny, Drake, Beyoncé lead nominations

India's Bollywood film industry, long part of the cultural fabric of the movie-mad country of 1.4 billion people, is facing its biggest-ever crisis as streaming services and non-Hindi language rivals steal its sparkle.

The South Asian giant churns out on average around 1,600 films each year, more than any other country, traditionally headlined by glitzy Bollywood, with fans worshipping movie stars like gods and crowds thronging premieres.

But now cinemas have fallen quiet, even in Bollywood's nerve centre of Mumbai, with box-office receipts plunging since Covid curbs were lifted.

"This is the worst crisis ever faced," veteran Mumbai theatre owner Manoj Desai told AFP. Some screenings were cancelled as the "public was not there".

The usually bankable megastar Akshay Kumar had three back-to-back films tank. Fellow A-lister Aamir Khan, the face of some of India's most successful films, failed to entice audiences with the 'Forrest Gump' remake 'Laal Singh Chaddha'.

Of the more than 50 Bollywood films released in the past year -- fewer than normal because of the pandemic -- just one-fifth have met or surpassed revenue targets, said media analyst Karan Taurani of Elara Capital. Pre-pandemic it was 50 per cent.

In contrast, several Telugu-language aka Tollywood movies -- a south Indian competitor to Hindi-language Bollywood -- have soared to the top.

Embarrassingly, around half the box-office takings for Hindi-language films from January 2021 to August this year were dubbed southern offerings, said State Bank of India's chief economic adviser Soumya Kanti Ghosh in a recent report.

"Bollywood, after decades of storytelling... seems to be at an inflection point unlike any other disruption it has faced before," Ghosh wrote.

- 'Out-of-touch' -

Bollywood, like other movie industries, has been hurt by streaming's rise, which started before the pandemic but took off when millions of Indians were forced indoors.&nbsp;

Around half of India's population has access to the internet and streaming services, including international players such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ Hotstar have 96 million subscriptions, according to a government estimate.

Some films released during the Covid shutdown went straight to these platforms, while others hit small screens just weeks after debuting in theatres.

With streaming monthly subscriptions lower or comparable to the cost of one ticket -- 100-200 rupees ($1.20-$2.50) at single-screen cinemas and higher at multiplexes -- price-sensitive audiences were avoiding theatres, analysts said.

Times have been so hard that INOX and PVR, two of India's biggest multiplex operators, announced their merger in March to "create scale".

Subscribers were meanwhile exposed to local and global streaming content, including southern Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada-language films that already had legions of devoted local fans.

"Regional cinema was not travelling beyond its borders. But now suddenly everyone was watching Malayalam cinema or Maharashtrian cinema and then you realise that... there are filmmakers who are telling more interesting stories," film critic Raja Sen said.

"Then they see a Hindi blockbuster coming out with a star which is just like a rethread of a story they've heard a million times, then they're not so impressed anymore."

Critics also accused Bollywood of making niche or elitist films that do not resonate in a country where 70 per cent of the population lives outside cities.

Aamir Khan admitted during media interviews for 'Laal Singh Chaddha'&nbsp;that Hindi filmmakers' "choice of what is relevant to them is perhaps not so relevant to a larger audience".

At the same time, Tollywood mega-smash hits 'Pushpa: The Rise' and 'RRR'&nbsp;highlighted the heroics of common people while treating audiences to larger-than-life visual spectacles with catchy song-and-dance routines.

Such formulas have long been a Bollywood mainstay but film critics say the southern challengers were doing it bigger and better.

"To get people to cinemas we need to create an experience for storytelling that cannot be replicated at home," multi-theatre operator and trade analyst Akshaye Rathi said.

"What we need to do is respect their time, money and effort. And whenever we do that, for a particular movie, they come out in big numbers."

- Wake-up call -

Ensuring box-office success by having a star as your protagonist was now no longer guaranteed, said Taurani, who described Bollywood's recent struggles as "alarming".

"I think audiences obviously want the star, but the audience wants the star to feature in a film which has got compelling content," he added.

"If my films are not working, it is our fault, it is my fault. I have to make the changes, I have to understand what the audience wants," the Indian Express reported Kumar as saying in August.

- Boycott -

Adding to Bollywood's woes have been repeated social media campaigns against certain films by Hindu right-wingers, including the 'Forrest Gump'&nbsp;remake.

Most recently, there were calls for the new release 'Brahmastra'&nbsp;to be boycotted over star Ranbir Kapoor's beef-eating comments some years ago. Cows are considered sacred by Hindus.

But while creating unwelcome noise, analysts say there appeared to be no material impact on box-office returns. 'Brahmastra'&nbsp;has in fact done well.

The real issue, movie-goers told AFP outside one cinema in Mumbai, was that many Bollywood films were simply not good enough.

"The story should be good (and) the content should be good, so that people want to watch," said student Preeti Sawant, 22.

"So that's why people are not coming to watch movies."

India's Bollywood film industry, long part of the cultural fabric of the movie-mad country of 1.4 billion people, is facing its biggest-ever crisis as streaming services and non-Hindi language rivals steal its sparkle.

India's Bollywood film industry, long part of the cultural fabric of the movie-mad country of 1.4 billion people, is facing its biggest-ever crisis as streaming services and non-Hindi language rivals steal its sparkle. The South Asian giant churns out on average around 1,600 films each year, more than any other country, traditionally headlined by glitzy Bollywood, with fans worshipping movie stars like gods and crowds thronging premieres. But now cinemas have fallen quiet, even in Bollywood's nerve centre of Mumbai, with box-office receipts plunging since Covid curbs were lifted. "This is the worst crisis ever faced," veteran Mumbai theatre owner Manoj Desai told AFP. Some screenings were cancelled as the "public was not there". The usually bankable megastar Akshay Kumar had three back-to-back films tank. Fellow A-lister Aamir Khan, the face of some of India's most successful films, failed to entice audiences with the 'Forrest Gump' remake 'Laal Singh Chaddha'. Of the more than 50 Bollywood films released in the past year -- fewer than normal because of the pandemic -- just one-fifth have met or surpassed revenue targets, said media analyst Karan Taurani of Elara Capital. Pre-pandemic it was 50 per cent. In contrast, several Telugu-language aka Tollywood movies -- a south Indian competitor to Hindi-language Bollywood -- have soared to the top. Embarrassingly, around half the box-office takings for Hindi-language films from January 2021 to August this year were dubbed southern offerings, said State Bank of India's chief economic adviser Soumya Kanti Ghosh in a recent report. "Bollywood, after decades of storytelling... seems to be at an inflection point unlike any other disruption it has faced before," Ghosh wrote. - 'Out-of-touch' - Bollywood, like other movie industries, has been hurt by streaming's rise, which started before the pandemic but took off when millions of Indians were forced indoors. Around half of India's population has access to the internet and streaming services, including international players such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+ Hotstar have 96 million subscriptions, according to a government estimate. Some films released during the Covid shutdown went straight to these platforms, while others hit small screens just weeks after debuting in theatres. With streaming monthly subscriptions lower or comparable to the cost of one ticket -- 100-200 rupees ($1.20-$2.50) at single-screen cinemas and higher at multiplexes -- price-sensitive audiences were avoiding theatres, analysts said. Times have been so hard that INOX and PVR, two of India's biggest multiplex operators, announced their merger in March to "create scale". Subscribers were meanwhile exposed to local and global streaming content, including southern Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada-language films that already had legions of devoted local fans. "Regional cinema was not travelling beyond its borders. But now suddenly everyone was watching Malayalam cinema or Maharashtrian cinema and then you realise that... there are filmmakers who are telling more interesting stories," film critic Raja Sen said. "Then they see a Hindi blockbuster coming out with a star which is just like a rethread of a story they've heard a million times, then they're not so impressed anymore." Critics also accused Bollywood of making niche or elitist films that do not resonate in a country where 70 per cent of the population lives outside cities. Aamir Khan admitted during media interviews for 'Laal Singh Chaddha' that Hindi filmmakers' "choice of what is relevant to them is perhaps not so relevant to a larger audience". At the same time, Tollywood mega-smash hits 'Pushpa: The Rise' and 'RRR' highlighted the heroics of common people while treating audiences to larger-than-life visual spectacles with catchy song-and-dance routines. Such formulas have long been a Bollywood mainstay but film critics say the southern challengers were doing it bigger and better. "To get people to cinemas we need to create an experience for storytelling that cannot be replicated at home," multi-theatre operator and trade analyst Akshaye Rathi said. "What we need to do is respect their time, money and effort. And whenever we do that, for a particular movie, they come out in big numbers." - Wake-up call - Ensuring box-office success by having a star as your protagonist was now no longer guaranteed, said Taurani, who described Bollywood's recent struggles as "alarming". "I think audiences obviously want the star, but the audience wants the star to feature in a film which has got compelling content," he added. Kumar -- nicknamed a "one-man industry" for being so prolific -- said he was going back to the drawing board. "If my films are not working, it is our fault, it is my fault. I have to make the changes, I have to understand what the audience wants," the Indian Express reported Kumar as saying in August. - Boycott - Adding to Bollywood's woes have been repeated social media campaigns against certain films by Hindu right-wingers, including the 'Forrest Gump' remake.

The Power, Rhonda Byrne

"I heard all the time that people are reading less and less these days. Perhaps there are more distractions, and more gadgets, our lives are too busy to find a quiet corner and savour a book. Yet, this is a habit that we need to keep alive in ourselves and inculcate in future generations. Reading is to the mind what a good meal is to the body. It sustains, it nourishes, it helps us think, it helps us grow." - APJ Abdul Kalam.

Seven timeless books recommended by Dr APJ Abdul Kalam

Hollywood legend Meryl Streep's daughter Grace Gummer is expecting her first child with her husband Mark Ronson, which means that the veteran actress is going to become a granny to a little munchkin once again.&nbsp;Meryl's daughter recently&nbsp;confirmed the news by showing off her growing baby bump out in public.

According to Mirror's inside source, the couple is "thrilled" to welcome their first kid. Meanwhile, PageSix reported that music producer Mark "always wanted to be a dad".

Mark Ronson doesn't shy away from a little online PDA to make her wife feel loved. He often shares posts on his social media to sing&nbsp;praises of his wife. And, his posts are just too adorable for words.

To wish his ladylove on their wedding anniversary, the Uptown Funk chart-topper penned a heartfelt tribute for his wife and called her the "most incredible human being".

He wrote on Instagram, "When people used to tell me their spouse was their best friend, I thought they were spouting hallmark nonsense or that they were some freak anomaly of love. Or maybe I just married the most incredible human being around. Happy Anniversary to my darlingest, you've made me happy beyond my wildest. (sic)"

Hollywood legend Meryl Streep's daughter Grace Gummer is expecting her first child with her husband Mark Ronson, which means that the veteran actress is going to become a granny to a little munchkin once again. Meryl's daughter recently confirmed the news by showing off her growing baby bump out in public. According to Mirror's inside source, the couple is "thrilled" to welcome their first kid. Meanwhile, PageSix reported that music producer Mark "always wanted to be a dad". Mark Ronson doesn't shy away from a little online PDA to make her wife feel loved. He often shares posts on his social media to sing praises of his wife. And, his posts are just too adorable for words. To wish his ladylove on their wedding anniversary, the Uptown Funk chart-topper penned a heartfelt tribute for his wife and called her the "most incredible human being". He wrote on Instagram, "When people used to tell me their spouse was their best friend, I thought they were spouting hallmark nonsense or that they were some freak anomaly of love. Or maybe I just married the most incredible human being around. Happy Anniversary to my darlingest, you've made me happy beyond my wildest.

Documentary filmmaker and actress Jennifer Siebel Newsom, who is married to California Governor&nbsp;Gavin Newsom, is among the five accusers who will soon testify at Harvey Weinstein's rape and sexual assault trial. The same was confirmed by&nbsp;Jennifer's attorney who shared that the actress doesn't mind getting named in this trial. The trial began this Monday at&nbsp;Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center in Los Angeles, California, and is expected to last two weeks.&nbsp;

"Like many other women, my client was sexually assaulted by Harvey Weinstein at a purported business meeting that turned out to be a trap,"&nbsp;Newsom’s attorney Elizabeth Fegan said in a statement. "She intends to testify at his trial in order to seek some measure of justice for survivors, and as part of her life’s work to improve the lives of women."&nbsp;The news of her involvement in the Weinstein trial was first reported by The Los Angeles Times.

Weinstein,&nbsp;who is currently serving a 23-year prison sentence after a conviction in New York, has pleaded not guilty to 11 counts of rape and sexual assault involving Newsom and four other women.

Newsom, 48, appeared in small roles in dozens of films and television shows between 2002 and 2011. Recently she has directed documentaries including 'The Great American Lie'&nbsp;in 2020 and 'Fair Play'. Both deal with gender in society.

She wrote about her experience with Weinstein in a 2017 essay in the Huffington Post after the New York Times and New Yorker stories made him a magnet of the #MeToo movement but gave few details.

Weinstein, who is being held in a Los Angeles County jail, was brought Monday into court in a wheelchair through a side door and climbed from it carefully into a seat next to one of his lawyers at the defence table. He was wearing a blue suit, which he is allowed to change into from his jail attire during the trial.

He stood with the rest of the room as the first panel of 67 prospective jurors was brought in, but sat down about halfway through the process. He waved at them from his seat when his lawyers introduced them.

The jurors were given a lengthy questionnaire intended to screen out those who need to be dismissed. Both the questions and answers on the forms are private, but previous hearings on its contents revealed that it contains questions on how much media coverage of Weinstein they have seen, and whether they have formed opinions from it, though the judge rejected questions on specific stories and media outlets.

The prosecution will be allowed to introduce as evidence parts of Weinstein’s conviction for rape and sexual assault, where the state’s highest court has agreed to hear his appeal.

The questionnaire also includes a question about a California law that says the testimony alone of a sexual assault victim can be sufficient evidence to convict if a juror believes them.

The jurors were also given a long list of names of witnesses in the coming trial, including those of the accusers to determine whether they have any connection to them. The initial witness list in the case had more than 270 names, though fewer than half that are expected. Most of the prospective witness list has not been made public. 
One witness, Barbara Schneeweiss, a producer on “Project Runway” and other television shows, was present in court early Monday and was told by a judge she was on call to come in at any time.

Two more panels of up to 75 jurors will be brought in Tuesday and Wednesday. Questioning of individual jurors is not expected to begin until next week, and opening statements may not begin for two weeks.

The trial comes five years after women’s stories about Weinstein made the #MeToo movement exploded.

Weinstein is charged with four counts of rape and seven other sexual assault counts.

Most of the incidents in his indictment, like Newsom’s, happened under the guise of business meetings at luxury hotels in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles, which Weinstein used as his California headquarters and where he could be seen during awards season and throughout the year. Four of them occurred during Oscars week 2013 when Weinstein releases “Silver Linings Playbook” and “Django Unchained” would win Academy Awards.
