<p>Rapper Kanye West has in recent times courted controversy over his antisemitic comments. His statements have caused companies like Adidas and Balenciaga to cut ties with him. And earlier this month, during an interview with far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, he expressed his admiration for none other than Adolf Hitler, one of the most hated men in history and the German dictator who oversaw the murder of six million Jews during World War II. Now, to confront him, actor Sacha Baron has resurrected his popular character and everybody's favourite comically racist and antisemitic Kazakh journalist Borat Sagdiyev, which he played in 2006's 'Borat' and its 2020 sequel 'Borat Subsequent Moviefilm'.</p>

<p>As per The Hollywood Reporter, Cohen was speaking at the 2022 Kennedy Center Honors to an audience that consisted of US President Joe Biden. Cohen accused the United States of stealing Borat's hatred for Jews.&nbsp;</p>

<p>English actress <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/kate-winslet-turns-47-heavenly-creatures-revolutionary-road-and-other-best-performances-522601">Kate Winslet</a></strong> has been an accomplished, respected performer for a few decades now. Be it indie or commercial fare, she has shone everywhere. Most of all, she has chosen her characters carefully. Her heroines are strong, complicated, and driven in one sense or another. After rising to fame with James Cameron's 'Titanic', she has been a part of several acclaimed projects in more than three decades of her career. She won an Oscar in the Best Actress category for her performance in 2008's 'The Reader'. She also has an Emmy, for her performance in HBO's acclaimed performance in 'Mare of Easttown'.</p>

<p>But despite her talents and the praise she has received for her work, criticism has plagued her career, mostly related to her weight. It is only now, when body positivity is a widely accepted concept, that she no longer has to face ridiculous taunts about her body.</p>

<p>While speaking to UK's The Times, she revealed, "When I was younger, my agent would get calls saying, 'How’s her weight?' I kid you not. Even as a young hopeful in acting school, she was told by a teacher she'd have to settle for 'fat girl'."</p>

<p>Joan Rivers had infamously joked, "If Kate Winslet had dropped a few pounds, the Titanic would never have sunk."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Winslet will soon be seen in James Cameron's 'Avatar: The Way of Water', which marks her reunion with the 'Titanic' director.</p>

<p>In a recent interview, Winslet revealed what prompted her to accept the offer. While speaking to Empire magazine, she said she loved the first movie. "The deeper themes it conveys about our declining planet, were extremely poignant, and that mattered to me. So, I had no reservations at all. Plus, I was jumping into a well-oiled machine, so I was excited to think that everything they had learned as filmmakers from the first movie, would have only been ironed out and amplified in its second go around. And that's fun!" she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the answer to another question, she said that Cameron remains a "perfectionist" and that "part hasn't changed at all. And that is what makes his movies precise in every tiny detail. All those tiny components are huge when assembled, and it’s Jim’s vision and his determination that produces extraordinary filmmaking that will stand the test of time."</p>

<p>'Avatar: The Way of Water' continues the story of the mythical alien race called the Na'Vi. It brings back Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Stephen Lang, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Giovanni Ribisi, Dileep Rao, and Matt Gerald from the first movie. &nbsp;Sigourney Weaver also returns, but in a different role. Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Jemaine Clement, Michelle Yeoh, Brendan Cowell, Oona Chaplin, CJ Jones, and also Vin Diesel join the cast.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While Dwayne Johnson may have made a grant entry to superhero movies by headlining <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-black-adam-post-credit-scene-explained-heres-what-it-means-for-dceus-future-527396">DC's 'Black Adam'</a></strong>, it appears Warner Bros, the studio behind the project, is going to lose up to $100 million. The news was reported by Variety. As per Box Office Mojo, the film has grossed $384.6 million on a reported budget of $195 million. However, that budget does not include marketing and production costs which are around $80 and $100 million. Add to that the cut of theatres, and the film is apparently going to lose a big amount of money to WB. Johnson did change the hierarchy of power in DC Universe, but he clearly could not use his immense star power to make the film a success.</p>

<p>In the Jaume Collet-Serra directorial, Johnson plays the role of Teth-Adam or Black Adam, an ancient antihero who lived in fictional North African nation of 5000 years ago, and is now reawakened. He is an archenemy of Shazam and is expected to face Superman as well. &nbsp;Earlier Johnson was going to essay the character opposite Zachary Levi in 2019's 'Shazam!' but then it was decided to give the character a solo movie first.</p>

It tells a typical, hackneyed origin tale of a superhero (or more accurately, antihero) that is almost entirely without surprises. It looks to be a rehash of countless superhero pics from the last decade or so. It is also painfully predictable, and does not even attempt a lot to do anything terribly new. If you are looking for anything fresh in the plot, you'd be better off looking elsewhere."</p>

<p>Netflix's upcoming heist drama series called 'Kaleidoscope' has intrigued TV buffs with its claims of non-linear storytelling. The streaming service has in the last few years tried to do something different with some of its content — with decidedly mixed results. For example, the company released interactive specials like 'Black Mirror: Bandersnatch' and 'You vs. Wild'. But 'Kaleidoscope' even takes it further. How? Well, as mentioned above, its story is told linearly. That is, you might say, nothing new. But here, there is no single sequence, and whatever order you follow will still lead nicely into the finale — which still should be watched after every preceding episode.</p>

<h2>Who is behind it?</h2>

<p>The series is created by Eric Garcia, an author and screenwriter. His novel 'Matchstick Men' was turned into a movie by Ridley Scott, which starred Nicolas Cage. He also scripted other adaptions of his novels, including 'Anonymous Rex' and 'Repo Men'. He also wrote the 2019 film 'Strange But True'. The series is executive produced by Garcia, Scott, David W. Zucker, Jordan Sheehan, Fred Berger, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Justin Levy, and Russell Fine.</p>

<h2>Who is in it?</h2>

<p>The biggest name in the loaded cast is Giancarlo Esposito, best known for playing the role of drug kingpin Gustavo Fring in 'Breaking Bad' and Stan Edgar in the Amazon Prime Video superhero drama series 'The Boys'. The series also features &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;Paz Vega, Rufus Sewell, Tati Gabrielle, Rosaline Elbay, Peter Mark Kendall, Jai Courtney, Niousha Noor, and Jordan Mendoza.</p>

<p>Indian actor Akshay Kumar just cannot seem to catch a break. He has not had a good year. He was part of five films (not including a cameo in 'An Action Hero') and the only one among them that did not bomb at the box office was 'Cuttputlli' — because it did not release in theatres at all, instead premiering on Disney+ Hotstar. One might argue that doing too many films may make moviegoers bored of watching you on the big screen again and again, and this is the reason his films are failing. Things are so bad that the actor is already receiving ridicule for a project slated to be released only next year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The reason? In a video he shared to mark the beginning of the shooting of his upcoming film 'Vedat Marathe Veer Shivaji', Akshay also revealed the first look of himself in the main role of Chhatrapati Shivaji. Shivaji was a 17th-century ruler who established the Maratha Empire and defied the Mughal forces led by Aurangzeb with guerrilla tactics. On social media, not many looked at his Shivaji getup and rather focussed on the anachronistic lighting on the chandelier above his head. Indeed, the chandelier is studded with lights using small electric lights in a 17th-century setting. Electric lights will not be invented until 1880, more than two centuries in the future.&nbsp;</p>

Indian actor Akshay Kumar just cannot seem to catch a break. He has not had a good year. He was part of five films (not including a cameo in 'An Action Hero') and the only one among them that did not bomb at the box office was 'Cuttputlli' — because it did not release in theatres at all, instead premiering on Disney+ Hotstar.

He was part of five films (not including a cameo in 'An Action Hero') and the only one among them that did not bomb at the box office was 'Cuttputlli' — because it did not release in theatres at all, instead premiering on Disney+ Hotstar. One might argue that doing too many films may make moviegoers bored of watching you on the big screen again and again, and this is the reason his films are failing. Things are so bad that the actor is already receiving ridicule for a project slated to be released only next year.

Akshay Kumar gets trolled after fans find electric bulbs in his first look as Chhatrapati Shivaji. See photo

<p>A 33-year-old man called Patrick Xavier Clark has been arrested in the murder case of rapper <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/migos-rapper-takeoff-28-shot-dead-in-houston-shocked-fans-pay-condolences-530251">Takeoff</a></strong>. Born Kirsnick Khari Ball, Takeoff was shot dead in Houston, Texas on November 1 outside a bowling alley. Takeoff was shot thrice in the torso and head at 810 Billiards &amp; Bowling. Two others also suffered injuries in the shooting, but they were not life-threatening.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Takeoff was a member of the Grammy-nominated hip-hop trio Migos. At 28, he was the younger member of Migos. Quavo and Offset made up the rest of the trio. Migos had delivered several chartbusters in the past decade. 'Bad and boujee', 'Versace', 'Walk It Talk It' and 'Give No Fxk' are some of their biggest hits.</p>

<p>At&nbsp;a press conference Police Sergeant Michael Burrow told the media that the incident followed a dispute over a dice game. But Takeoff, he said, was just a bystander and was not involved.</p>

<p>Takeoff's label had paid the late rapper an emotional tribute by saying, "It is with broken hearts and deep sadness that we mourn the loss of our beloved brother Kirsnick Khari Ball, known to the world as Takeoff. Senseless violence and a stray bullet has taken another life from this world and we are devastated. Please respect his family and friends as we all continue to process this monumental loss."</p>

<p>On November 5, Takeoff's friends and family held a memorial service for the rapper, and a monument was established at the site of his death. On November 10, a more private ceremony was held. Called "Celebration of Life" it was attended by Cardi B, Offset, Quavo, Drake, Justin Bieber, Yolanda Adams, and Chloe Bailey, who also gave performances.</p>

<p>Andre Dickens, the Mayor of Atlanta, posthumously awarded Takeoff with the Phoenix Award.</p>

Called "Celebration of Life" it was attended by Cardi B, Offset, Quavo, Drake, Justin Bieber, Yolanda Adams, and Chloe Bailey, who also gave performances. Andre Dickens, the Mayor of Atlanta, posthumously awarded Takeoff with the Phoenix Award.

<p>The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' franchise is currently in a lurch. After Johnny Depp vowed never to work with Disney, the studio that owns the franchise, a female-led spinoff starring Margot Robbie was announced, with 'Birds of Prey' scribe writing the script. But last month, Robbie had<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/margot-robbie-reveals-female-fronted-pirates-of-the-caribbean-film-has-been-scrapped-by-disney-534245"> revealed</a></strong> that the project is not moving forward.</p>

<p>Jerry Bruckheimer, the producer of all the previous 'Pirates' movies, has said that there is still a chance that the movie might happen.</p>

<p>Of Depp's rumoured new 'Pirates' movie, it may be just that: a rumour.</p>

<p>While speaking to Collider, he said, “I think that that script will come forward at a certain point. We developed two different stories for Pirates and the other one’s going forward first, so that’s what we’re working on, to try to get that one made.”</p>

<p>The movie that Bruckheimer is referring to, which is in active development, is most likely what 'Chernobyl' creator Craig Mazin is writing with the franchise veteran Ted Elliott, who scripted the first four 'Pirates of the Caribbean' films.</p>

<p>Earlier, Robbie had said to Vanity Fair that the film might not be made as there has been no update from Disney. "We had an idea and we were developing it for a while, ages ago, to have more of a female-led — not totally female-led, but just a different kind of story — which we thought would've been really cool, but I guess they don't want to do it," she said.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Robbie will next be seen in<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-babylon-new-trailer-brad-pitt-margot-robbie-film-is-a-handsome-ode-to-1920s-hollywood-watch-538356"> 'Babylon'</a></strong>, an epic period comedy-drama written and directed by Damien Chazelle.

<p>'Avatar: The Way of Water' was easily the most-awaited project of the year, and it is only a few days away. James Cameron returns to the big screen as a director after more than a decade. The film has a huge ensemble cast, with several new names joining the franchise. Among them is Kate Winslet, who worked with Cameron in 'Titanic'. In a recent interview, Winslet revealed what prompted her to accept the offer.</p>

<p>While speaking to Empire magazine, she said she loved the first movie. "The deeper themes it conveys about our declining planet, were extremely poignant, and that mattered to me. So, I had no reservations at all. Plus, I was jumping into a well-oiled machine, so I was excited to think that everything they had learned as filmmakers from the first movie, would have only been ironed out and amplified in its second go around. And that's fun!" she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the answer to another question, she said that Cameron remains a "perfectionist" and that "part hasn't changed at all. And that is what makes his movies precise in every tiny detail. All those tiny components are huge when assembled, and it’s Jim’s vision and his determination that produces extraordinary filmmaking that will stand the test of time."</p>

<p>'Avatar: The Way of Water' continues the story of the mythical alien race called the Na'Vi. It brings back Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Stephen Lang, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Giovanni Ribisi, Dileep Rao, and Matt Gerald from the first movie. &nbsp;Sigourney Weaver also returns, but in a different role. Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Jemaine Clement, Michelle Yeoh, Brendan Cowell, Oona Chaplin, CJ Jones, and also Vin Diesel join the cast.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Indian film star Shah Rukh Khan recently wrapped the Saudi Arabia schedule of his upcoming film <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-shah-rukh-khan-confirms-film-dunki-with-rajkumar-hirani-with-a-video-watch-inside-472135">'Dunki'</a></strong>. He was spotted in Mecca. The city&nbsp;is home to the holiest site in Islam (Masjid al-Haram), and King Khan, as he is called by his fans, was seen performing Umrah in the mosque. Several photos and videos of the superstar performing the ritual have gone viral on social media sites. He can be seen wearing a white garment and is also wearing a face mask. You can see the pictures below.</p>

<p>Umrah is a pilgrimage in Islam that is subordinate to Hajj. While the latter is the religious duty of every Muslim as per the Quran, the former can be undertaken at any time of the year.&nbsp;</p>

Indian film star Shah Rukh Khan recently wrapped the Saudi Arabia schedule of his upcoming film 'Dunki'. He was spotted in Mecca. The city is home to the holiest site in Islam (Masjid al-Haram), and King Khan, as he is called by his fans, was seen performing Umrah in the mosque. Several photos and videos of the superstar performing the ritual have gone viral on social media sites. He can be seen wearing a white garment and is also wearing a face mask.
