No, you don’t ever mess with Britney Spears. The pop singer is in the mood for revenge after she was hit by a security person&nbsp;of NBA star Victor Wembanyama. The singer, bombarded by her own fans, had a fan moment for Victor and tried approaching him when she was smacked in the face out of nowhere. Apparently, as she tried to meet Wembanyama, his security person hit her without even looking at her.&nbsp;

<h2>Britney files&nbsp;police report against&nbsp;NBA star’s security team</h2>

Britney Spears has filed a police report in Las Vegas, Nevada, after she was allegedly assaulted by a member of Victor Wembanyama’s security team who backhanded her in the face when she asked to take a picture with the basketball player. The “Toxic” singer wrote on social media, “Traumatic experiences are not new to me and I have had my fair share of them. I was not prepared for what happened to me last night.”

She further wrote that she recognised Victor Wembanyama in her hotel lobby and saw him at a Las Vegas restaurant where she was eating dinner, and “decided to approach him and congratulate him on his success.” As she approached him, his security “backhanded me in the face without looking back…nearly knocking me down and causing my glasses off my face.”

Spears added, “I get swarmed by people all the time. In fact, that night I was swarmed by a group of at least 20 fans. My security team didn’t hit any of them.”

Meanwhile, the police have filed a report but haven’t confirmed the identities of the parties involved. A Variety report stated, “On July 5, 2023, at approximately 11 p.m., LVMPD officers responded to a property in the 3700 block of Las Vegas Boulevard regarding a battery investigation. The incident has been documented on a police report and no arrest or citations have been issued. No further details will be provided at this time.”

<h2>Who is wrong? Victor's team or Britney Spears?</h2>

The issue has however snowballed into a much larger issue as there are now two versions of the story. Britney Spears has issued a statement saying that she “tapped on his shoulder” while Wembanyama has refuted these claims and said that someone “grabbed him from behind” following which his security person pushed the woman away. He mentioned that he didn’t know it was Britney Spears until “a couple of hours later”.&nbsp;

Britney said in her social post, “It was really loud, so I tapped him on the shoulder to get his attention. I am aware of the player's statement where he mentions ‘I grabbed him from behind,’ but I simply tapped him on the shoulder.”

Later in an interview, the NBA star said that he “didn’t see what happened, because I was walking straight and we were told, ‘Don’t stop’… But that person grabbed me from behind, not on my shoulder, she grabbed me from behind and so I just know the security pushed her away.”&nbsp;

<h2>No apology from Victor or his team&nbsp;upsets Britney </h2>

Britney Spears is upset with how an innocent meet and greet has turned out. She claims that neither has she heard from the NBA star nor his security or his team. “I have yet to get a public apology from the player, his security, or their organisation. I hope they will,” Britney wrote.&nbsp;

Calling it an "embarassing" story to share, Britney wrote a lengthy statement detailing exactly how everything panned out that day and she was left humiliated. "I think it’s important to share this story and to urge people in the public eye to set an example and treat all people with respect,” Spears continued. 
 
“Physical violence is happening too much in this world. Often behind closed doors… I cherish the tremendous amounts of love and support I am receiving at the moment. Thank you to the Las Vegas PD and the detectives for their support.”

Britney Spears hit by NBA star Victor Wembanyama’s security, police file case

Tom Cruise is crazy about doing his own action stunts. Be it riding a motorcycle off a cliff or paragliding his way down a hilltop at top speed, trust Tom Cruise to do it all. As his latest action flick Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One is up for release on July 12, it’s been revealed that the actor had to fight his co-star Esai Morales on the roof of a moving train that ran at the top speed of 60 miles per hour. Imagine the risk and imagine the thrill!

The behind-the-scenes featurette that made its way online has confirmed that both Tom Cruise and Esai Morales fought atop a train that sped through a valley in Norway.&nbsp;

Christopher McQuarrie said, “When we started talking about this movie in terms of a sense of adventure, an action sequence on a train is something we always wanted to do. We wanted to build upon the previous films and apply that knowledge to something practical and real and bring this train sequence to another level.”

He also revealed that the whole train had to come crashing down for which the team literally built a new train and wrecked it. He said, “There was not a surplus of trains available to be wrecked. We had to build the train if we wanted to destroy it. To shoot it practically was extremely challenging. Not just to execute it, but to design all of the different train carts that could function on a real train track.”

<h2>Tom Cruise likes to do his own stunts: All other stunts in Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning Part 1</h2>

On the action-packed fight sequence in Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, Esai Morales said, “I’ve done fight scenes, but to do them on a moving train is trial by fire. But that’s how Tom like to do things.”

<img alt="Tom Cruise" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="b064c617-defb-4ec6-9645-c577673f4133" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/screenshot-www.google.com-2023.07.07-15_12_29.png" />

It was previously revealed that Tom Cruise also did speed-flying for the film. He flew at a speed of 50 miles per hour while speed-flying during one sequence of the movie. Speed-flying, which McQuarrie described as “one of the most dangerous sports in the world,” is similar to paragliding, although the flyer stays closer to the slope as to pick up more speed. Staying closer to the slope increases the chance of collision with land. Tom confirmed and said, “It’s a very beautiful and delicate sport. We’re gonna do spirals, and we’re landing at an incredibly high speed, over 80 kilometers an hour.”

Tom Cruise fought Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning co-star on a train that ran at 60 miles per hour

First Vietnam and now the Philippines, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie seems to have run off the road with several countries over the representation of the “nine-dash line” which reinforces China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea. The film’s trailer depicts eight lines in the Barbie map and it doesn’t look like the actual global map that the current world countries recognise (barring China).&nbsp;

Barbie is of course a toy doll that most girls and boys remember playing with or seeing in their homes, in their growing-up years. Now that a film based on Barbie and her beau Ken’s life is ready for a mega worldwide release in theatres, the Warner Bros. studio explains why a lot of people are complaining about a problem with the film’s trailer.&nbsp;

<img alt="Barbie" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="f27c5eaf-fd11-4b27-b5a9-ee300a47616b" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-07-07T094054.042.jpg" />

<h2>What is the problem with this 'real world'&nbsp;map in Barbie?</h2>

The Barbie trailer features a scene where Barbie (Margot Robbie) stands in front of a world map that had triggered a controversy. In the scene, Margot’s Barbie is with Kate McKinnon (known in the film as “Weird Barbie” as they stand in front of the map. After days of this issue sparking headlines, a spokesperson for the Warner Bros. Film Group spoke to Variety and said, “The map in Barbie Land is a child-like crayon drawing.“The doodles depict Barbie’s make-believe journey from Barbie Land to the ‘real world.’ It was not intended to make any type of statement.”

The said childlike map, has invited criticism for not treating this sensitively, with countries now pulling down the release of Barbie. First, it was Vietnam, and now the Philippines. The controversial nine-dash line is a tricky subject for most Southeast Asian countries where China has alleged territorial claims. These countries include&nbsp;Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, Brunei, and Taiwan. These territorial claims of China have time and again been repudiated by an international tribunal but who's to explain China?&nbsp;

As for the Philippines, a&nbsp;notice shared by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board of the Philippines on its website read: “We confirm that the Board has reviewed the film Barbie today, 04 July 2023. At this time, the assigned Committee on First Review is deliberating on the request of Warner Brothers F.E. Inc. for a Permit to Exhibit.”

This comes after Vietnam decided to ban the film. "We do not grant a license for the American movie Barbie to release in Vietnam because it contains the offending image of the nine-dash line," local media cited Vi Kien Thanh, head of the Department of Cinema, a government body in charge of licensing and censoring foreign films.&nbsp;Vietnam called for Barbie to not screen in the country as it believes it violates the country’s sovereignty.

These two countries could make a turnaround if Warner Bros. studio was to make any amends to the controversial scene, edit or rework the same. But that would mean reapplying for certification in China where the fantasy drama has been approved and given a go-ahead. Considering China is a huge market for films, this looks difficult for Warner Bros.

In defence, Warner Bros. studio wants everyone to not take the scene too seriously and just like a doodle that some child would conjure out of fantasy or wild imagination. If you look carefully, the map looks like a child’s imagination as&nbsp;hashtags float around Earth’s&nbsp;oceans and continents are drawn with maroons and yellows. There are chalk-scribbled dolphins and whatnot. But countries have a problem that the world map has been organised in a way to appease China. It looks like China’s “nine-dash line,” which reinforces China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea.

<h2>Where does this controversial map scene feature?</h2>

The Barbie&nbsp;film is all about how the famous doll toy faces an existential crisis and ends up leaving her perfect world for the “real world”. As she tries to settle in and goes on a journey of self-discovery, McKinnon’s Weird Barbie encourages her to see the “real world” and provides her with a map of the same. This map is made with whimsy by a fellow doll.&nbsp;

<img alt="Barbie" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="24d50b81-6714-45e4-ba12-c8281470c0b3" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-07-07T094115.190.jpg" />

Here, the Warner Bros. studio claim that since this controversial world map is made by a doll, it has no hidden meanings and doesn’t imply or state anything. The “nine-dash line” that has irked many is actually “journey lines” that animation and kid’s drawings usually feature, so as to show where a character has travelled to or from.&nbsp;

The studio, without commenting on the plot of the film, claims that there are other “journey lines” too with the map also featuring arrows and boats. Now this could mean something else but only that it doesn’t. While filmmakers are sensitive to the geopolitical issues raised by the map, the studio told Variety that the drawing in Barbie is simply the doll’s own road to enlightenment.&nbsp;

Facing an existential crisis, Barbie, a perfect person in a perfect world (read all-pink world), leaves it all for the “real world” to unearth the “real” her. Accompanying her on the fun, trials, and tribulations is her longtime partner, Ken. Both Barbie and Ken face new dangers and adventures while on their journey.&nbsp;

Directed by Greta Gerwig from a script written by her and her husband, the film stars Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, America Ferrera, Will Ferrell, Hari Nef, Issa Rae, and Simu Liu. The film is set to release theatrically on July 21.

Prabhas-Deepika's Project K becomes first Indian film to debut at San Diego Comic-Con

In celebration of the company's upcoming centennial -- officially marked on October 16 -- Disney recently allowed a glimpse into its vaults, hosting a media visit to its film studio lot in Burbank, near Los Angeles.

"This is what we call the tip of the iceberg," said Walt Disney Archives director Becky Cline, before presenting artifacts ranging from the studio's founding legal document and the first Mickey Mouse cartoon script to costumes from the latest Marvel films.

Many more items are currently out touring the world, with "Disney100: The Exhibition" on display simultaneously in Munich and Philadelphia. More locations including London will be added soon.

Paris is currently hosting an immersive, multi-sensory experience, centered around the friendships between Disney's iconic characters. But a major portion of the studio's archives is in "five or six" warehouses "scattered around" the Los Angeles area, including larger items such as former theme park ride vehicles and movie props, said archivist Nicole Carroll.

"We make so much stuff, we're always looking for more space!" she said.

Founded in 1970, the 30-strong team of archivists aim to keep a "small representation" of everything, Carroll explained. For example, if a recently wrapped movie has 250 lavish costumes, including four or five for each of the heroes, the archive team will select "a couple of iconic looks from each character" for posterity.

Even with this selective approach, every time a film wraps, "we could be adding hundreds of things" to the archive, said Carroll.

<h2>'Cry'</h2>

Among the studio's most treasured memorabilia are the giant story books featured at the start of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs&nbsp;and Sleeping Beauty,&nbsp;and a crystal slipper from the live action version of Cinderella.

Some items end up serving a practical purpose -- an original snow globe from 1964's Mary Poppins&nbsp;was pulled from the archive and replicated by filmmakers creating the 2018 sequel.

Factor in photo and document archives containing first-edition cartoons, tickets to Disneyland's 1955 opening, plus corporate reports and press clippings, and the total collection extends to "hundreds of millions" of items, said Cline.

But perhaps the most hallowed space for Disney obsessives is located right on the Burbank lot -- founder Walt Disney's personal offices, from which he managed his entertainment empire from 1940 until his death in 1966.

A painstaking inventory of every item he left behind was taken, right down to the exact resting angle of his books, including volumes on Nikola Tesla, Salvador Dali and trains.

Just under a decade ago, those offices were restored by Walt Disney Archives employees.

They now contain everything from unfinished plans for theme parks to figurines of beloved fairy tale characters. And, of course, several Oscars.

Just a few tour groups are admitted each year to this space, considered sacred by cognoscenti of a company renowned for the almost unparalleled obsession of its fandom.

"People come in and cry at this amazing human," said tour guide Laura Sanchez.

"They get to walk in the past."

Disney cracks open vast archive for centennial celebrations

American actor Billy Porter has called it quits with his husband Adam Smith. Billy and Adam were married for six years.&nbsp;

In 2017, Billy Porter said in an interview that this marriage is important for him as he shared a similar background with Adam. They both grew up in a similar setting. At the time, he said, "We both grew up in households where who we are is labelled an abomination."

<img alt="Billy and Adam" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="400092da-64e7-459a-ad9c-af16c7388a9b" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/screenshot-www.google.com-2023.07.06-10_24_06.png" />

Cut to 2023, the duo is calling it quits as Billy Porter’s rep came out stating, "I can confirm that Billy Porter and his husband Adam Smith have made the sad decision to end their marriage.”

His representative Simon Halls also said that the decision taken by them was amicable and mutual. They apparently thought over it and came to the decision unanimously after a lot of consideration.

Billy Porter and Adam Smith met each other for the first time in 2009. They dated for a year before parting ways for some time as the former was quoted saying in an interview that they were "enamoured", but things would usually "implode" as they just started to get right and more serious. They got back together in 2014 and wed in 2017. Post their marriage, Billy gave the interview where he spoke about their marriage and why it meant a lot to both of them.&nbsp;

Shocking details in the case of actor Robert De Niro’s grandson’s death are coming out. De Niro’s grandson, Leandro De Niro Rodriguez’s death was sudden and is now reported to have been because of drug overuse. Leandro’s mother Drena De Niro has claimed that he died of ingesting fentanyl-laced pills. He passed away at the age of 19 earlier this week.&nbsp;

<h2>Drug overdose</h2>

Reacting to an Instagram user’s enquiry on the cause of Leandro’s death, his mother Drena said, “Someone sold him [Leandro] fentanyl-laced pills that they knew were laced yet still sold them to him.

“So for all these people still f–king around selling and buying this s–t, my son is gone forever,” added Drena.

Leandro De Niro Rodriguez was found dead by his friend who went to visit him at his New York City apartment&nbsp;after not hearing from him for a few days. Law enforcement authorities had revealed that both drugs and drug paraphernalia were found near Leandro's body. The police are currently investigating the drug overdose case. The toxicology report is still awaited.

According to a report by New York Post, NYPD detectives in Narcotics Borough Manhattan South have been brought in to investigate Leandro's death. The detectives might look into who and if, anyone provided drugs to Leandro.&nbsp;

Announcing his death to the world, Leandro’s mother posted on Instagram. She wrote, "My beautiful sweet angel. I have loved you beyond words or description from the moment I felt you in my belly. You have been my joy, my heart and all that was ever pure and real in my life. I wish I was with you right now. I wish I was with you. I don’t know how to live without you but I’ll try to go on and spread the love and light that you so made me feel in getting to be your mama. You were so deeply loved and appreciated and I wish that love alone could have saved you. Rest in Peace and Eternal Paradise my darling boy.”

Robert De Niro's grandson died of fentanyl-laced drugs, police investigate foul play

It’s going to be a wrap for Netflix’s Sex Education with season 4. The popular show will come to an end as the makers announced with a heavy heart that they will no longer continue the story of some of our favourite characters from the show. The final season will see Asa Butterfield and Gillian Anderson take on the role of sex therapists for the last time.

Season 4 of Sex Education will premiere on September 21, nearly two years after the third season arrived.

In a heartfelt letter to fans, creator Laurie Nunn said that as the writers were crafting season four, “it became clear that this was the right time to graduate.” The final season comes amidst news that Moordale Secondary will close. Since then, some creative changes were made, including cast members Patricia Allison (Ola), Tanya Reynolds (Lily), Simone Ashley (Olivia) and Rahkee Thakrar (Emily) announcing that they would not be returning to the series.

<h2>Read the heartfelt letter here:</h2>

Read Laurie Nunn’s letter to Sex Education fans as they decide that season 4 will mark the end of the hit show. It reads as follows:&nbsp;

This Autumn we’re back with season 4, coming to Netflix on September 21. A lot has happened since our first writers room in 2017, when we spent a month in a cramped office above a sex shop, talking about what it felt like to go through puberty.

The painful awkwardness, first crushes and big, big feelings. We wanted to make a show that would answer some of the questions we all used to have about love, sex, friendship, and our bodies. Something that would have helped our inner teenagers feel a little less alone.

It’s been overwhelming seeing how the show has connected with people around the world, and we hope it’s made some of you feel a little less alone too.

Writing this feels bittersweet, as we’ve decided the fourth season will also be the final instalment of our show. This was not an easy decision to make, but as the themes and stories of the new season crystallised, it became clear that this was the right time to graduate.

We are incredibly proud of Sex Education and feel indebted to our brilliant writers, cast and crew who put so much heart into making every episode. They have worked tirelessly to bring you this final season, and we can’t wait to share it with you.

Goodbves are the worst, but let’s celebrate all the good times we’ve had.

Hong Kong pop singer Coco Lee has died by suicide at the age of 48. A music icon, Coco Lee is best known for her works in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and Disney’s film Mulan. From singing at the Oscars to becoming an important Asian face at the world forum, Coco Lee is mourned by all.&nbsp;

<h2>Coco Lee: An icon in making</h2>

Coco Lee is a Hong Kong-born singer who moved to San Francisco as a child and got her first shot at fame in the year 1991. She was nine at the time when she moved to the United States. In 1991, she was crowned Miss Teen Chinatown San Francisco. After graduating from high school in 1993, she visited Hong Kong and “just for fun” entered the TVB New Talent Singing Contest. It was from there she rose to fame as she came in second in the contest. She sang Whitney Houston’s popular song “Run To You”. That’s how her singing career started.&nbsp;

<img alt="Coco" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="1ad04696-1400-4a97-8d64-17103da44d57" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-07-06T124158.494.jpg" />

It was at the Oscars that she truly blossomed. The world got to see her singing “A Love Before Time”, her song from Ang Lee’s hit movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The 73rd Academy Awards got a taste of her live singing. The song was nominated for best original song and her much-lauded performance at the event was the first time a Chinese-American had performed at the Oscars.

The Chinese version of the same song earned her the award for best original film song at the Hong Kong Film Awards in 2001.

Coco Lee also voiced Fa Mulan in the Mandarin version of the 1998 Disney hit Mulan, for which she also sang the song “Reflection”.

In 2002, Lee sang the US national anthem at the National Basketball Association (NBA) debut of Chinese basketball superstar Yao Ming, who started his NBA career with the Houston Rockets. This marked the first time a Chinese-American singer sang the US national anthem at a major global sporting event.

<h2>Coco Lee's wedding was an affair to remember</h2>

Coco Lee then made headlines for marrying Canadian billionaire Bruce Rockowitz in an extravagant wedding at the Shaw Brothers Studio in Hong Kong that reportedly cost around US$20 million.

<img alt="Coco" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="5fe485e1-79e9-4c9e-a33e-daaae87a8011" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS%20-%202023-07-06T124350.567.jpg" />

The wedding was so high-profile that it had guests like Bruno Mars and Alicia Keys in attendance. For the wedding, she released the song “I Just Wanna Marry You”.

<h2>Coco Lee suffered from depression</h2>

Out of the public eye for a while now, Coco Lee’s sisters claim that she had been suffering from depression which led her to die by suicide. Her sisters, Carol and Nancy Lee, in a <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/coco-lee-hong-kong-born-singer-songwriter-dies-at-48-after-suicide-attempt-612440">statement posted on social media</a>, said that a suicide attempt left her in a coma, and ultimately led to her death.

"Although Coco sought professional help and did her best to fight depression, sadly that demon inside of her took the better of her," the statement said.

"On 2 July, she committed suicide at home and was sent to the hospital. Despite the best efforts of the hospital team to rescue and treat her from her coma, she finally passed away on 5 July 2023," the statement said.

Adele has told the audience attending her Caesars Palace concert that people are failing to "show etiquette", after a series of incidents involving artists including Pink and Bebe Rexha, who were victims of stuff being thrown at them. Adele addressed the recent unfortunate incidents of people throwing objects at musicians on stage, telling her audience she would “kill you” if they dared to try. The British singer was captured holding a T-shirt gun as she spoke to the audience at Caesars Palace, where she is performing her Las Vegas residency Weekends With Adele. Adele's remark “Have you noticed how people are like, forgetting f***ing show etiquette at the moment? People just throwing s**t on stage, have you seen them?” she said. “I f***ing dare you. Dare you to throw something at me and I’ll f**ing kill you.” After shooting a T-shirt into the crowd with the gun, she said, “Stop throwing things at the artist when you can shoot things to people … I’ve been seeing these people. These people lost it, can you imagine?” HAHAHAHAHA hay adele https://t.co/Mks5Ah1dCr — fam⁹ 🍭 (@shuminatozaki) July 5, 2023 × Outrageous incidents involving Pink, Bebe Rexha, others Earlier this month, Pink paused a performance in London to handle a fan who threw a bag of their mother’s ashes on stage. “This is your mum?” the American singer can be heard asking in footage of the incident. “I don’t know how I feel about this.” Also last week, American country-pop singer Kelsea Ballerini was hit in the face by an object during a performance in Idaho. “If you ever don’t feel safe, please let someone around you know,” Ballerini said on stage afterwards. “If anyone’s pushing too much or you just have that gut feeling, just always flag it. Don’t throw things.” In a more serious incident recently, pop singer Bebe Rexha was hit in the face by a phone thrown by an audience member at a concert in New York City, leaving her with a black eye. A 27-year-old man was later arrested and charged with assault. During the same week, a person ran on stage during an Ava Max show in Los Angeles, hitting the singer so hard that he “scratched the inside of [her] eye”, she tweeted.
