<p>Chris Pine has settled the matter of so-called 'spitgate' in a new interview. In the alleged incident, Pine's fellow Don't Worry Darling actor Harry Styles spat on him. Pine had denied that through a PR statement, and this time he himself has spoken of it.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Directed by Oscar Wilde, and also starring Florence Pugh, Wilde, Gemma Chan, KiKi Layne, and Nick Kroll, the film was riven by several controversies leading up to its release, the 'spitgate' being only one of them.</p>

<p>Setting the record straight, Pine told Esquire magazine that no, Styles did not, in fact, spit on him. In his words, “Harry did not spit on me. Harry is a very kind guy. I was on the plane and we’re flying back from Venice having a great time on the plane and my publicist wakes me up and says, ‘We have to craft a statement on what happened in Venice.’ She showed me the thing and it did look, indeed, like Harry spit on me. He didn’t spit on me.”</p>

<p>He added, "I think Harry leaned down and said, ‘It’s just words isn’t it?' We had this little joke. We were all jet lagged and trying to answer questions and sometimes when you’re doing these press things your brain goes befuddled and you start speaking gibberish, so we had a joke: ‘It’s just words.'”</p>

<p>WION gave the film a mixed review. It read, "'Don't Worry Darling' introduces several interesting ideas but it is not able to truly flesh any of them. There are several scenes throughout the movie that seem to hint at something but are left undeveloped and unexplored. I bet a lot of the footage of this film was left on the cutting room floor. Margaret is the biggest loser here as a character. She is reduced to a subhuman, whose only task is to call our heroine's attention to the nature of her reality. She is not even a supporting character, she is barely a character.</p>

<p>Nicolas Cage essays the role of Count Dracula in the upcoming horror comedy <em>Renfield</em>, but the film is mainly about the vampire's titular assistant R. M. Renfield, played by Nicholas Hoult. <em>Renfield </em>in the film is desperate to get out of the powerful vampire's grasp. For centuries now, he has had the unsavoury task of bringing his boss innocent victims like nuns and cheerleaders so Dracula could feast on them.</p>

<p>In a recent interview, Cage said he did not have enough time to delve deep into his character and would like to star in a solo movie. Coming from Bram Stoker's Victorian Gothic epistolary novel <em>Dracula </em>1897, the character has been portrayed many times by iconic actors like Gary Oldman and Christopher Lee.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Cage told Variety, "You know, there are some minor moments here where you get to see some of the pathos in Dracula’s eyes. That made me think that maybe one day I might like to try for a whole movie where you’re really understanding the psyche of the character. I didn’t really have the time to delve into that here.”</p>

<p>He added, “I also kind of always knew I had to do it at some point. I went back to Christopher Lee, in terms of his manner of speaking, but that was really only a starting point. I knew Christopher. I did a small scene with him in ‘Season of the Witch,’ and I liked him very much. We had a lot of nice conversations, and he reminded me quite a bit of my father, August. So from then on, my dad sort of became the main inspiration for me.”</p>

<p>Directed by Chris McKay and scripted by Ryan Ridley, the film also stars.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The official synopsis reads, "In this modern monster tale of Dracula’s loyal servant, Nicholas Hoult (Mad Max: Fury Road, X-Men franchise) stars as <em>Renfield</em>, the tortured aide to history’s most narcissistic boss, Dracula (Oscar® winner Nicolas Cage). &nbsp;<em>Renfield </em>is forced to procure his master’s prey and do his every bidding, no matter how debased. But now, after centuries of servitude, Renfield is ready to see if there’s a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness. &nbsp;If only he can figure out how to end his codependency."</p>

<p><em>Renfield </em>will release on April 14 in the US.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Marvel Studios' latest, <em>Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania</em>, has proven to be a disappointment for most critics, and it is not even performing as well as the overseers of MCU would like. The writer of the film Jeff Loveness has revealed that he was deeply affected by the negative reception and he was surprised.</p>

<p>He told The Daily Beast, "To be honest, those reviews took me by surprise. I was in a pretty low spot… Those were not good reviews, and I was like, ‘What the …?’"</p>

<p>He insisted that he is "proud of what I wrote for Jonathan [Majors] and Michelle Pfeiffer [scientist Janet Pym]. I thought that was good stuff, you know? And so I was just despondent, and I was really sad about it.”</p>

<p>It was only after he attended a screening with the fans that he was able to shake off the gloom. He saw the audience laughing at the jokes he wrote. He said, "I’m like, ‘Goddamn! No, [the reviews] are wrong! I’m right! MODOK is great!’ I’m pretty happy with it overall, and I think I learned how to take a punch this week. And now that I learned that it’s not too bad, I can just get on with making things.”</p>

<p>Loveness is also writing the next <em>Avengers </em>film, <em>The Kang Dynasty</em>, which comes out in 2025.</p>

Ant-Man 3 writer says MCU movie's bad reviews surprised him: 'Those were not good'

<p>There is some bad news for Beliebers. After several postponements, Justin Bieber has reportedly cancelled the remainder of his Justice world tour amid his ongoing recuperation from the Ramsay Hunt Syndrome (RHS) type 2. Bieber, who celebrates his 29th birthday on Wednesday (March 1), first revealed his diagnosis back in June last year. The condition has made muscles on the right half of his face completely paralysed.</p>

<p>Bieber had announced in September last year that he will be taking a break from touring. In an Instagram story, he said then that he is taking time off to rest and get better. "After resting and consulting with my doctors, family and team, I went to Europe in an effort to continue with the tour. I performed six live shows, but it took a real toll on me. So I'm going to take a break from touring for the time being. I’m going to be OK," he wrote.</p>

<p>If the tour had continued, Bieber would have completed about 70 more shows, including what remained of the European leg and more until 2024.</p>

<h4>What is Ramsay Hunt syndrome type 2?</h4>

<p>Ramsay Hunt syndrome type 2, also known as herpes zoster oticus with facial palsy, is a subtype of Ramsay Hunt Syndrome (RHS). It is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes chickenpox and shingles. In RHS-2, the virus affects the facial nerve, causing facial paralysis or weakness on one side of the face, along with symptoms such as severe ear pain, rash, and sometimes hearing loss and dizziness.<br />

Justin Bieber cancels remainder of Justice world tour amid health issues

<p>Brendan Fraser is enjoying a comeback in Hollywood with a widely praised performance in <em>The Whale</em>. The phenomenon has been dubbed ‘Brenaissance’.

<p>During a hanging sequence, the rope tightened around his neck. The actor said on The Kelly Clarkson Show, “I was standing on my toes like this, with the rope [around my neck], and you only got so far to go.

Brendan Fraser is enjoying a comeback in Hollywood with a widely praised performance in The Whale. The phenomenon has been dubbed ‘Brenaissance’. The heartthrob of the 1990s and early 2002, Fraser gained worldwide fame after appearing in The Mummy franchise. Now, he has revealed that he nearly died while filming a scene in the first movie. During a hanging sequence, the rope tightened around his neck. The actor said on The Kelly Clarkson Show, “I was standing on my toes like this, with the rope [around my neck], and you only got so far to go. And [director] Stephen [Sommers] ran over, and he said, ‘Hey, it doesn’t really look like you’re, you know, choking — can you sell it?’ And I was like, ‘All right, fine.’ So I thought, ‘One more take, man.'” He added, “I was stuck on my toes — I had nowhere to go but down.

The Night Manager season 2 reportedly in the works, Tom Hiddleston to return

<p>You would be forgiven for thinking that the newest South Korean sensation <em>Physical: 100</em> is a spinoff of <em>Squid Game</em>. It is, in fact, totally unrelated to survival drama series (though, a reality spinoff of<em> Squid Game</em> called <em>Squid Game: The Challenge</em> is really in development). <em>Physical: 100</em>, which premiered on January 23 and had 9 episodes in its first season, shares both similarities with <em>Squid Game</em>, and yet is quite different from the original show.</p>

<p>Here's everything to know:</p>

<h2>What is the concept behind <em>Physical: 100</em>?</h2>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fc8Qv5l3WrM" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>If you remember, <em>Squid Game </em>revolved around a group of 456 financially struggling people who had been invited to participate in a mysterious survival game with a grand cash prize of 45.6 billion won (about $40 million). The participants soon found themselves trapped on an isolated island, where they were forced to play children's games with deadly consequences. Each game becomes progressively more dangerous and difficult, and those who lose are eliminated from the game in a brutal (and fatal) manner. <em>Physical: 100</em> is both quite different and similar to <em>Squid Game.</em></p>

<h2>How are <em>Physical: 100</em> and <em>Squid Game </em>similar (and not)?</h2>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Oz0haLFSzDE" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>Apart from the fact that they are both South Korean and have proved to be extremely popular, the challenges they pose for their contestants are quite similar. <em>Physical: 100</em> is a non-fiction series and thus, thankfully, does not have people competing to gain lots of money by risking their life. It has competitions that make the losers fall to their "deaths". The deaths, of course, are not really death as they just fall on a padded floor.</p>

<p>Unlike <em>Squid Game,</em> the contestants in <em>Physical: 100</em> are quite well-off and actually in top physical shape. And there are 100 of them, not 456 like <em>Squid Game</em>. They compete to get the top honour and yes, a cash reward. The reality show tests strength, balance, agility, endurance, strong willpower, and strategy of the contestants. Oh, and also teamwork as there are both team and individual challenges.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>Physical: 100</em> boasts excellent production design as seen in the elaborately designed challenges.</p>

<p>The official synopsis of&nbsp;<em>Physical: 100</em> reads, "One hundred contestants in top physical shape compete in a series of grueling challenges to claim the honor - and cash reward - as the last one standing."</p>

<h2>Is <em>Physical: 100's</em> success just another evidence of the so-called Korean Wave?</h2>

<p>Absolutely. For those who are unaware, the Korean Wave refers to&nbsp;the global spread and popularity of South Korean culture, particularly in the fields of music, television dramas, and movies. The term "Korean Wave" was first used in the mid-1990s to describe the popularity of Korean pop culture in China and later in other Asian countries. But it has since expanded to other parts of the world, including Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East. This continued with&nbsp;K-pop music and Korean dramas (or K-dramas), contributing billions of dollars to the country's GDP as well as the rise of Korean cinema on the international stage. It has also helped to promote South Korean tourism and boosted the country's soft power and global influence.</p>

Farhan Akhtar cancels Australia tour due to 'unforeseen circumstances': 'I do hope...'

Pakistani actress Ushna Shah has responded to the trolling she has faced after photos and videos of her from her wedding with golfer Hamza Amin went viral. Known for her work in Urdu-language TV serials like Bashar Momin and Duaa, and more recently, Aakhir Kab Tak and Parizaad.

Pakistani actress Ushna Shah has responded to the trolling she has faced after photos and videos of her from her wedding with golfer Hamza Amin went viral. Known for her work in Urdu-language TV serials like Bashar Momin and Duaa, and more recently, Aakhir Kab Tak and Parizaad. She was condemned by many Pakistanis on social media sites like Twitter and Instagram for wearing what they saw as an Indian-style wedding dress — a red lehenga. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ushna Shah (@ushnashah) Many pictures and videos of Shah and her husband went viral, and the actress blamed a blogger who she invited for the whole shebang. She said the said blogger was invited on the condition that he will not bring a "plus one" and was specifically requested not to record personal moments, particularly the nikah. Writing on her Instagram stories, Shah said, "I am disgusted and feel violated. He (the blogger) was invited out of obligation as I have known him for years and he happened to be at the office where we were designing invitations. His invite said strictly no plus one. He was then sent a memo along with other guests to not record personal moments, especially the nikkah (wedding ceremony)." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ushna Shah (@ushnashah) Just a matter of few years now! Wearing lesser n see through clothes will not even be looked down upon! We have reached that level of shamelessness, Bollywood was at a decade or two ago! If can't stop them atleast Don't appreciate them 🙏🏼 #UshnaShah pic.twitter.com/N3wW51K2kT — Musa (@Moosa_ac) February 27, 2023 She added, "Not only did he bring a plus one, he brought a photographer without permission, lied to my family that I had allowed this. That photographer then sent exclusive unapproved photos to various portals. He (the photographer) also brought a drone, which he snuck to our private nikkah enclosure on the water and recorded our signing, which left me in tears afterward. The drone was hovering loudly next to my head during my signing, I had to shoo it away. I had a sick feeling in my stomach wondering who it was. Does any bride deserve this? Whether my dress looked Indian to people or even Mongolian, does any human being deserve this? Our nikkah enclosure allowed 15 people, family only. I am dizzy with disgust that this man would stoop so low... If I have any legal standing to do something about this, I will. I feel absolutely violated." They are fooling people by promoting Indian culture in the name of Pakistani culture. We shouldn't tolerate it as it spoils our own culture, traditional values and religious values as well.#UshnaShah#جاوید_نہیں_ننگے_تم_ہوئے_ہو pic.twitter.com/1SjuXZTFxr — Syed Kazim Mehdi Rizvi (@SyedKazimMehdi9) February 27, 2023 Earlier, social media sites were flooded by comments heaping abuse at Shah. One tweet read, "They are fooling people by promoting Indian culture in the name of Pakistani culture. We shouldn't tolerate it as it spoils our own culture, traditional values and religious values as well." One other wrote, "She is one of my favorite because of its beauty. But, being a Pakistani, we should never forget our traditions and customs. This is Islamic republic of Pakistan. We have our own identity. We are not a slave of any country. Our culture should be preserved. Disappointed!" "I don't know why #UshnaShah is trending? people like her just ruined our culture. The dress she wore. The dance moves she did ... shows clear message that they r not be and never going to be a role model for our children in ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF PAKISTAN," one tweeted.

'Disgusted': Pakistani actress responds to being trolled for her Indian-style wedding dress

<p>The first trailer for season 3 of <em><u>Ted Lasso </u></em>is here. The second season ended with a rift between Ted, Jason Sudeikis' happy-go-lucky American coach of the association football team AFC Richmond and Nathan Shelley (Nick Mohammed), the team's former kit man who was turned into the assistant coach by Ted. The trailer features little dialogue, and whatever there is in general, without a lot of context. So, the trailer, set to the Rolling Stones' 'You Can't Always Get What You Want' is safe to view by those who cannot entertain knowing nothing about their entertainment before consuming the show or the movie.&nbsp;</p>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IR9yjn7Lkdg" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>The show served as a balm to many a tortured soul during the Covid-19 pandemic. When the world was suffering, it gave that warm, fuzzy feeling of togetherness. And with its second season, the show proved that it had more depth (and edge) than earlier expected.</p>

<p>The show tackles themes such as mental health, teamwork, and friendship. And judging by the trailer, it looks season 3 is not going to be any different.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Jeremy Swift, Phil Dunster, Nick Mohammed, Juno Temple, and Sarah Niles also star.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The official synopsis reads, "In the third season of <em>Ted Lasso</em>, the newly-promoted AFC Richmond faces ridicule as media predictions widely peg them to finish last in the Premier League and Nate (Nick Mohammed), now hailed as the “wonder kid,” has gone to work for Rupert (Anthony Head) at West Ham United. In the wake of Nate’s contentious departure from Richmond, Roy Kent (Brett Goldstein) steps up as assistant coach, alongside Beard (Brendan Hunt). Meanwhile, while Ted (Jason Sudeikis) deals with pressures at work, he continues to wrestle with his own personal issues back home, Rebecca (Hannah Waddingham) is focused on defeating Rupert and Keeley (Juno Temple) navigates being the boss of her own PR agency. Things seem to be falling apart both on and off the pitch, but Team Lasso is set to give it their best shot anyway."</p>

<p><em>Ted Lasso </em>season 3 premieres on Apple TV+ on March 15.</p>
