Chrissy Teigen has now apologised for ‘cyber bullying’. In what escalated almost quickly, the model/influencer was accused of harassment on offline and online channels. Courtney Stodden had called out several celebs including Chrissy of harassment when she was a teenager. She’d said in a recent interview of Chrissy, “She wouldn’t just publicly tweet about wanting me to take ‘a dirt nap’ but would privately DM me and tell me to kill myself. Things like, ‘I can’t wait for you to die.’”

Soon after Chrissy Teigen’s past tweets surfaced and she had to apologise for the same on Twitter. She had then said, “Not a lot of people are lucky enough to be held accountable for all their past bullshit in front of the entire world. I’m mortified and sad at who I used to be.”&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-pete-davidson-jokingly-calls-out-chrissy-teigen-during--saturday-night-live-386862" hreflang="en">Pete Davidson jokingly calls out Chrissy Teigen during 'Saturday Night Live'</a>

She then <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-chrissy-teigen-drops-out-of-netflixs-never-have-i-ever-amid-bullying-controversy-389606">exited a voiceover role</a> in Netflix comedy ‘Never Have I Ever’ and even went missing from social media for a brief period of time.&nbsp;

Chriss made her comeback today and shared a lengthy apology post: “I know I’ve been quiet, and lord knows you don’t want to hear about me, but I want you to know I’ve been sitting in a hole of deserved global punishment, the ultimate sit here and think about what you’ve done. Not a day, not a single moment has passed where I haven’t felt the crushing weight of regret for the things I’ve said in the past. As I look at them and understand the hurt they caused, I have to stop and wonder: How could I have done that?”

Already having publicly apologized to Stodden, Teigen assured there are “more than just a few” that she still needs to apologize to. “I’m in the process of privately reaching out to the people I insulted. It’s like my own version of that show My Name Is Earl! I understand that they may not want to speak to me. I don’t think I’d like to speak to me. … But if they do, I am here and I will listen to what they have to say, while apologizing through sobs,” she wrote.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-brad-pitt-starrer-bullet-train-sets-release-date-391529" hreflang="en">Brad Pitt starrer 'Bullet Train' sets release date</a>

“There is simply no excuse for my past horrible tweets. My targets didn’t deserve them. No one does. Many of them needed empathy, kindness, understanding and support, not my meanness masquerading as a kind of casual, edgy humor. I was a troll, full stop. And I am so sorry,” she added.

Teigen noted that she is “no longer the person who wrote those horrible things. … I grew up, got therapy, got married, had kids, got more therapy, experienced loss and pain, got more therapy and experienced more life. AND GOT MORE THERAPY,” she wrote. “Life has made me more empathetic. I’m more understanding of what motivates trolling — the instant gratification that you get from lashing out and clapping back, throwing rocks at someone you think is invincible because they’re famous. Also, I know now how it feels to be on the receiving end of incredible vitriol. Believe me, the irony of this is not lost on me.”

But this has not been the end of it as soon after the apology, fashion designer and former Project Runway contestant Michael Costello took to Instagram to detail how Teigen and her stylist, Monica Rose, attempted to blacklist him from the fashion industry which he says he still feels “traumatized, depressed and has thoughts of suicide.” “For the past 7 years, I’ve lived with a deep, unhealed trauma,” Costello wrote.&nbsp;

Chrissy Teigen has not responded on these claims.&nbsp;

Disneyland Resort allows visitors to drop masks if fully vaccinated

Dubai earned a reputation for delivering luxury for those with cash to splash years ago, but amid the Covid-19 pandemic, a new mode of travel has become popular -- yachts.

"It's more private, you're with only family and friends, and it's the ideal outing during a pandemic," said Nada Naeem, a 36-year-old Saudi citizen living in Dubai.

Dozens of white yachts are seen every day zipping through the emirate's bays, canals and islands, while others are docked along the coast in Gulf waters overlooking the skyline of high-rise towers.

"You feel like you can breathe," Naeem said, adding that she had not left Dubai since the pandemic began last year. "It's like you've travelled."

Unlike so many parts of the world, Dubai opened its doors wide open to tourists just a few months after the coronavirus pandemic took hold last year.

Life in the Gulf emirate -- one of the first destinations to welcome visitors again last July -- returned to largely normal, with restaurants and hotels up and running and beaches open to the public.

The UAE, made up of seven emirates including Dubai, launched an energetic vaccination drive with some of the highest inoculation rates worldwide, and continues to enforce strict rules on wearing masks and social distancing.

But some are fearful of overseas travel, and wary of crowded places where the risk of catching Covid-19 is higher.

- 'Secure and safe' -

For those who can afford the price tag, yachts are seen as a safer bet.&nbsp;

"When they eased the lockdown... people preferred something secure and safe with regulations," said Mohammed al-Sayyed, manager of Royal Star Yachts charter company.

"We are providing them with the proper customer service, following all the rules, sanitising the yacht."

For now, yachts are allowed to operate at 70 percent capacity.

The company has a fleet that includes a 141-foot (42-metre) yacht able to host 80 passengers at full capacity -- if you can afford the $4,900 price for a three-hour cruise.

Charter companies said they have seen an increased interest in yachting after coronavirus measures eased, especially among those who want to spend time with friends and family.

"People want to do sightseeing, cruising," said Sayyed, who has been in the yacht industry for eight years. "They want to relax."

Cheaper yachts to hire include the company's 90-foot "Big Daddy" -- &nbsp;capable of normally carrying 65 people, at $1,225 for three hours -- down to smaller boats.

Some in Dubai said that when the price was split between a group, the cost was not as steep as it seemed at first.

"It can actually be more affordable than an all-inclusive brunch at a restaurant," said Naeem.

And while some groups have been busted by authorities flouting the rules and slapped with hefty fines, most excursions run smoothly.

Sayyed insisted his company follows all the rules and that even on the most luxurious "party yachts", there are Covid-19 regulations still in place, including the need for passengers to socially distance from each other and wear masks.

- Beach to boat takeaways -&nbsp;

Dubai, known for its skyscrapers and mega-projects, boasts the most diverse economy in the oil-reliant Gulf region and has built a reputation as a financial, commercial and tourism hub.&nbsp;

Tourism, which drew some 16 million visitors a year before the coronavirus hit, took a severe downturn in the first few months of the pandemic.

But a flood of arrivals since the beginning of the year has regenerated the industry, and helped many business activities recover.

Other yacht charter companies report an increase in demand for rentals in recent months.

And being out at sea doesn't mean the guests must skimp on takeaway food or drinks. Jet skis and speed boats are on standby -- for an extra fee -- to take orders and deliver groceries from shore to ship.

"To go on a boat is as simple as being outdoors and being away from strangers, gathering with only those you trust," said Palestinian Jeelan Herz, who has lived in the UAE for more than 30 years.

"It's also something you can enjoy safely with children -- go to the middle of the ocean, take part in water activities and take a nice dip."

Dubai's yachts offer socially-distanced luxury

Italian luxury sports car maker Ferrari has diversified, presenting its first fashion collection and launching itself into the high-end restaurant business.

The brand colours of red and yellow dominated at Sunday's debut catwalk show, which took place amid the production lines of Ferrari's Maranello base in northern Italy.

Designed by Armani veteran Rocco Iannone, Ferrari's creative director, there were oversized bomber jackets and parkas, blending nylon, silk and recycled fabrics, worn with loose or fitted skirts, shorts and trousers.

Many of them carried the Ferrari logo, could be worn by men or women and showcased what the company called a "bold, intrepid and assertive" style.

On Tuesday, Ferrari will reopen to the public the legendary Cavallino restaurant at Maranello, under the direction of Italian chef Massimo Bottura, who has three Michelin stars.

It began life as a canteen and became the favourite spot of the brand's charismatic founder, Enzo Ferrari, to receive employees, clients and friends in a small private room.

It opened to the public for the first time in 1950 and has been remodelled over the last 18 months by architect and designer India Mahdavi.&nbsp;

Ferrari chief John Elkann said the company was keen to "support excellence and the best Italian creativity".

‘Sunflower’, a crime-thriller comedy premiered on Zee5 on June 11 as it follows the story a residential complex and its people that promise to be modern and liberal in their approach but are far from that. Things get topsy turvy when one morning a member of the complex gets murdered and police suspect neighbours to have a hand at this. A cat and mouse chase and nervous laughs on the way, the show is led by standup comic/actor Sunil Grover with important roles played by Ranvir Shorey, Girish Kulkarni, Mukul Chadda, Shonali Nagrani, Sonal Jha and Ashish Vidyarthi.

With the show getting appreciated by critics and fans alike, we had a sit-down with actor Mukul Chadda of the show.&nbsp;In conversation with WION, Mukul spoke about ‘Sunflower’ and his upcoming projects.&nbsp;

Playing the role of a teacher in the show, Mukul happens to be the immediate neighbour to the murdered victim that police are probing. He also thus turns out to be a prime suspect for the murder. “I think the phrase crime comedy fits the description of the show. It’s set in a housing society in Mumbai and there’s been a murder. Then you have all these quirky characters in the housing society which normally is the case and how they react to one another, how they react to the fact that there has been a murder in their presence and how they react to the investigation."

“My character’s name is Dr. Ahuja and he is one of the residents of the society. He is a short tempered guy which is great for me because I have never played such a character before. It's&nbsp;very different from what I am&nbsp;in real life. He&nbsp;picks fights with his neighbours over petty issues and that was&nbsp;hilarious to play.”

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="386" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/76uCJC8R7cE" title="YouTube video player" width="686"></iframe>

On balancing seriousness and playfulness while dealing with such a tense subject as murder, Mukul said, “It is a fantastic balance to get it right where the audience is at the edge of their seat and they are laughing away to glory. It's great to have tension built up in a moment and to break it&nbsp;with laughter."

Sunil is the lead of the show. The show revolves a lot around his character Sonu but the show has an ensemble cast. Ranvir Shorey plays an inspector, Girish Kulkarni plays a sub-inspector&nbsp;and then there’s Ashish Vidyarthi. On his equation with the co-stars, Mukul said, “I met Sunil the first time when we went for the first set of readings and rehearsals and I got along with him very well. He is an extremely sweet person. In fact I remember I went for rehearsal one day and he and Ranvir were leading a scene and then I was to do some scenes with Ranvir after that so I was there early and I joined the rehearsal. Because the script is so good and I think they needed a 3rd character so I jumped into their scene and I thought I'll play that part. It was not my character. I think it was Girish’s character but I jumped in because it was just so much fun. I regret not having many scenes with him though. Maybe that happens in season 2 that I get more scenes to do with Sunil and Girish Kulkarni.”

Mukul has&nbsp;no knowledge of season 2 of ‘Sunflower’. When asked he&nbsp;quickly replied, “I have no idea. I have absolutely no information. It's just me being greedy and hoping for Season 2.”

Mukul Chadda also has a film in the lineup, ‘Sherni’ with Vidya Balan. “I can’t reveal much but Vidya plays a forest officer and the film revolves around her character. I think it explores a lot of issues but that's how Amit’s films are at some level. He takes an issue and he looks at all the surrounding issues around it. So, it explores the issues of wildlife, wildlife conservation, man-beast relationship like how the combination of wildlife affects the lives of people around it and all those related issues in a very real story of how a forest officer is going through an issue. It's a very interesting film. It's a very different kind of story telling I would say in the sense that it's a very odd thing to say without giving you more meat but I don't know how to even describe it to be honest,” divulged Mukul.

Trying to be elusive about the film’s details yet explaining, Mukul added, “There are usually some standard story tropes like the 7 story types but I dont think this fits into one of them. It's a very different storytelling style. Everyone said that Newton fits into that zone of being a different storytelling type because it didn't fit into the generic storytelling type. So, that's probably Amit’s style and I am not saying this is like Newton but I am just saying they both are similar in terms of they both don’t confine to a standard storytelling trope and that's refreshing about his work. Amit also is a great guy to work with. I do recall when I met him first, I straightaway felt that I wanted to do that role because I’ve seen his other work and then on meeting him he was just so calming in the way he was describing and honest about it that I felt drawn to the project.”&nbsp;

Talking about Vidya Balan, Mukul said, “She’s wonderful to work with. She’s professional and very committed to her work. When you are working on a scene with her I would forget that she’s a big star and just&nbsp;co-actors in the scene trying to help the scene get better.”

‘Sherni’ was shot on the border of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. “It was a place called Balaghat which is where I shot my scenes. I am sure the other scenes must have been shot in the adjoining areas or other places as well.”

Mukul Chadda was an investment banker in New York before he left it all and returned to India to pursue his passion for acting. Now many projects later, Mukul doesn’t regret moving back to India. “There are many regrets of how I would have done something differently but not for a moment do I regret the decision to quit my job and move back to India. That sometimes is relieving because you know at least this decision is the right one,” said the actor who came from a non-filmy background and has sunk his teeth deep within Indian entertainment industry.&nbsp;

Mukul likes all kinds of genres of films and TV and wants to experiment with it all. “When I get a new script to read or a new part to play, I am always looking at how this is different from what I have done before and if I can extend my range and do something I haven't done before."

I think it explores a lot of issues but that's how Amit’s films are at some level. He takes an issue and he looks at all the surrounding issues around it. So, it explores the issues of wildlife, wildlife conservation, man-beast relationship like how the combination of wildlife affects the lives of people around it and all those related issues in a very real story of how a forest officer is going through an issue. It's a very interesting film. It's a very different kind of story telling I would say in the sense that it's a very odd thing to say without giving you more meat but I don't know how to even describe it to be honest,” divulged Mukul. Trying to be elusive about the film’s details yet explaining, Mukul added, “There are usually some standard story tropes like the 7 story types but I dont think this fits into one of them. It's a very different storytelling style. Everyone said that Newton fits into that zone of being a different storytelling type because it didn't fit into the generic storytelling type. So, that's probably Amit’s style and I am not saying this is like Newton but I am just saying they both are similar in terms of they both don’t confine to a standard storytelling trope and that's refreshing about his work. Amit also is a great guy to work with. I do recall when I met him first, I straightaway felt that I wanted to do that role because I’ve seen his other work and then on meeting him he was just so calming in the way he was describing and honest about it that I felt drawn to the project.” Talking about Vidya Balan, Mukul said, “She’s wonderful to work with. She’s professional and very committed to her work. When you are working on a scene with her I would forget that she’s a big star and just co-actors in the scene trying to help the scene get better.” ‘Sherni’ was shot on the border of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh. “It was a place called Balaghat which is where I shot my scenes. I am sure the other scenes must have been shot in the adjoining areas or other places as well.” Mukul Chadda was an investment banker in New York before he left it all and returned to India to pursue his passion for acting. Now many projects later, Mukul doesn’t regret moving back to India. “There are many regrets of how I would have done something differently but not for a moment do I regret the decision to quit my job and move back to India. That sometimes is relieving because you know at least this decision is the right one,” said the actor who came from a non-filmy background and has sunk his teeth deep within Indian entertainment industry. Mukul likes all kinds of genres of films and TV and wants to experiment with it all. “When I get a new script to read or a new part to play, I am always looking at how this is different from what I have done before and if I can extend my range and do something I haven't done before."

Kannada film ‘Pinki Elli’ wins two awards at New York Indian Film Festival 2021

‘The Scary of Sixty-First’, a conspiracy thriller starring Dasha Nekrasova, has won the prize for best first feature at the 2021 Berlin International Film Festival. The film follows two women who move into a New York apartment once owned by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Berlinale jury called Nekrasova’s debut feature “an audacious take on genre cinema that confronts contemporary issues such as global power structures, sexual abuse, conspiracy theories and the dark corners of the internet in a wildly twisted, witty and subversive manner. Perhaps in recognition that polite decorum may no longer be an effective tactic in sparking discourse around these burning issues.”

Also, he Berlinale jury gave a special mention to District Terminal, a German-Iranian film from first-time directors Bardia Yadegari and Ehsan Mirhosseini, a bleak dystopian drama set in a near-future in which pollution and a lethal virus have reduced the city to a dump and the population to emigrate, mostly to the US, or live in constant quarantine.

Kannada actor Sanchari Vijay is critical. He sustained major injuries in a road accident and is currently being treated at a private hospital in Bengaluru. He has been kept in the Intensive Care Unit.&nbsp;

Vijay met with the accident when he was returning home from his friend’s place on a bike.

As per a report in Times of India, the National Award winning actor reportedly sustained injuries on the right side of his brain and his thigh region.

Quoting neurosurgeon Arun Nayak, the report said: “The health condition of Sanchari Vijay is very critical. As he had a blood clot in the brain, we have performed a surgery, the next 48 hours is going to be critical.”

Vijay made his acting debut with 2011 film ‘Rangappa Hogbitna’ and went on to star in other movies such as ‘Harivu’ and ‘Oggarane’. He won the National Award for his performance as a transgender in the critically-acclaimed film ‘Naanu Avanalla…Avalu’.&nbsp;

For techno enthusiast Philipp Koegler, it almost felt like a normal Saturday night again as he joined 200 fellow revellers at "Distillery", the first German nightclub to reopen since the start of the pandemic.

"Tonight, there are no rules," the almost 30-year-old told AFP, whipping off his mask on his way to the dance floor.

Despite more than a year of closures forced by the coronavirus, it didn't take long for the thumping beats, low lights and buzzing crowds to reawaken the much-missed club atmosphere.&nbsp;

"It feels like I've come back after being away on vacation for a week," Koegler beamed.

But of course there are some rules to restarting the party, even in Germany where coronavirus infections have declined steadily in recent weeks as the pace of vaccinations has picked up.

The Distillery club in the eastern city of Leipzig, which bills itself as the oldest techno venue in Germany's former Communist east, is taking part in a pilot project supported by scientists from the Max Planck institute and the local university hospital.

Just 200 club-goers are allowed in instead of the usual 600 and each person must take two different kinds of coronavirus tests earlier in the day, with entry granted only if they test negative both times.

Once inside, the masks can come off and revellers don't have to socially distance.

Each participant also agrees to being re-tested a week later, to uncover potential infections despite the precautions taken.

Organisers hope the project can serve as a blueprint for further club reopenings to help the hard-hit sector back on its feet after a devastating year.

Although several venues in Germany experimented with open-air parties, club-goer Konny said it "just isn't the same".&nbsp;

"In the club, you're in a different world," she said.

- Growing influence -

Distillery manager Steffen Kache expressed pride at being the first club in the country to reopen indoors.

"Everyone is jealous," he told AFP.

Kache said that if there has been an upside to the pandemic closures, it was that politicians had woken up to the social and economic importance of Germany's vibrant club culture.

Lawmakers last month agreed to reclassify nightclubs as cultural institutions rather than entertainment venues, putting them on a par with theatres and museums to provide more protection and tax benefits.

Germany's nightlife capital Berlin alone -- home to iconic clubs Berghain, KitKat and Tresor -- usually attracts tens of thousands of foreign visitors each year who generate over a billion euros in revenues.

Many observers fear that when the pandemic dust has settled, not all of Germany's clubs will have survived the lengthy shutdowns.

The collaboration with local authorities that made Distillery's pilot project possible was "unthinkable before the crisis", Kache said, and evidence of a "reconciliation" between underground club culture and the political establishment.

He said he hoped the next step would be "the nationwide reopening of cultural spots and clubs, without Covid restrictions".

Musician Roger Waters of Pink Floyd is not impressed by Facebook CEO&nbsp;Mark Zuckerberg as he slammed the latter at a forum in support of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange.&nbsp;

Roger read out a letter from Mark Zuckerberg which he recently received by email. He read: "It's a request for the rights to use my song, 'Another Brick in the Wall, Pt. 2' in the making of a film to promote Instagram. So it's a missive from Mark Zuckerberg to me - arrived this morning, with an offer of a huge, huge amount of money, and the answer is - f**k you! No f***ing way!"

The rock legend emphasised that he was reading the letter to show to the world how Facebook wants to “take over absolutely everything” and said that he would not “be a party&nbsp;to the bullshit”.&nbsp;

The song in question is Pink Floyd’s ‘Another Brick in the Wall’ which was written by Roger Waters. It was first released in 1979 on Pink Floyd's rock opera ‘The Wall’. Apart from being a protest song against abusive schooling, the piece is often regarded as a countercultural manifesto against the depersonalization of an individual in society.

The legend of rock music also called the founder and CEO of Facebook Zuckerberg "one of the most powerful idiots in the world." He added, "You think, 'How did this little prick, who started off by saying, 'She is pretty, we'll give her a 4 out of 5,' 'She's ugly, we'll give her a 1,' how the f**k did he get any power in anything?" Waters wondered. "And yet here he is, one of the most powerful idiots in the world."
