The actor's father went on to reveal how the massive financial success and especially from his 10 seasons on 'Friends', changed him as a person.</p>

<p>''The problem is that when someone has money, you don't get into their lifestyle unless they want you there, and they can shut you down,'' Paul said.

He added, ''I'm an old man now and I live off social security. If it wasn’t for my savings, I wouldn’t be able to survive.''</p>

'Friends' actor Matt LeBlanc's father reveals they haven’t spoken in nine years

<p>Doing the festival rounds, Marathi film ‘Puglya’ recently won big at the Moscow International Film Festival 2021. A sweet story of two boys and a pug has been a festival favourite ever since it started its festival tour. Now, ‘Puglya’ director Vinod Peter gets talking to WION on capturing the innocence of the trio in the film and why we need such films especially amid the pandemic as a reminder of good times.&nbsp;<br />
&nbsp;<br />
“When Puglya won accolades at the Moscow Film Festival, I was totally at a loss of words. I had always read about the feeling that one gets when he/ she represents India on an international platform. Here, I was not just representing India, but also won a prestigious award for my country”, says Vinod of the film winning at the famed festival. ‘Puglya’ has travelled to various International Film competitions, including in London, Italy, Sweden, Australia, Philippines, Turkey, Iran, Argentina, Lebanon, Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Spain, Philippines, Israel, USA and Canada.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Vinod has written, directed and produced the film under the banner Abraham Films. While the film is a work of fiction, the director says that the film “in totality looks like a true story”. He thanks the starcast and technical team to make it look like how it does.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While the Marathi film has done rounds at several film festivals, it is yet to release in India but that has been the ploy of the pandemic as Vinod admits they have been looking for a suitable time for a “pan-India” release of the film. “The very moment the situation is back to normal, we are planning a pan India release of Puglya,” he offers in response.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On the whole regional Indian language films living under the shadow of Hindi films aka Bollywood, Vinod says,&nbsp;“In my opinion, any film, as a whole, should be totally subject driven. You should have a good story, good script, good music, great technicians and talented artists to execute the vision. If everything comes together, that’s when great films are born and made. A film which is distinct and appealing is accepted even from a newcomer. Hindi films do have an influence but as a filmmaker if you stick to the originals, you are bound to see results, like I did."</p>

<p>On any one thing he’d like to change in the film scene in the country, Vinod suggests the “government should provide more subsidies, which will eventually help the producers to promote their films beyond the proverbial state boundaries.”</p>

<p>As for his future plans, Vinod was to start work on a Hindi film but the project has been put on hold owing to the pandemic.&nbsp;</p>

After being snubbed majorly at the Grammys 2021, The Weeknd emerged as a big winner at Billboard Music Awards 2021. He took home the top artist honours. He also took home seven awards in several categories that were announced off-air prior to live telecast.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The Weeknd was named top male artist, top radio songs artist, top R&amp;B artist and top R&amp;B male artist. In addition, his album ‘After Hours’ was named top R&amp;B album, while his single ‘Blinding Lights’ won for top radio song and top R&amp;B song.</p>

<p>Lil Rel Howery presented The Weeknd with his top Hot 100 artist award, joking that he got Glenn Close to dance to ‘Da Butt’ at the Oscars.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-priyanka-chopra-on-nick-jonas-hosting-billboard-music-awards-not-even-a-cracked-rib-can-stop-this-force-of-nature-387007" hreflang="en">Priyanka Chopra on Nick Jonas hosting Billboard Music Awards: Not even a cracked rib can stop this force of nature</a></p>

After being snubbed majorly at the Grammys 2021, The Weeknd emerged as a big winner at Billboard Music Awards 2021. He took home the top artist honours. He also took home seven awards in several categories that were announced off-air prior to live telecast. The Weeknd was named top male artist, top radio songs artist, top R&B artist and top R&B male artist. In addition, his album ‘After Hours’ was named top R&B album, while his single ‘Blinding Lights’ won for top radio song and top R&B song. Lil Rel Howery presented The Weeknd with his top Hot 100 artist award, joking that he got Glenn Close to dance to ‘Da Butt’ at the Oscars. Priyanka Chopra on Nick Jonas hosting Billboard Music Awards: Not even a cracked rib can stop this force of nature Bad Bunny was named top Latin artist during the live ceremony, and delivered his speech entirely in Spanish. He also won three awards in the off-air categories: top Latin male artist, top Latin song and top Latin album, a category in which he set a record for becoming the first Latin artist to land three nods in the same category. Drake, who holds the title for most Billboard Music Award wins of all time, received the Artist of the Decade Award. Pop Smoke received the award for top Billboard 200 album for his posthumously released debut album, Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon. Audrey Jackson accepted the award on behalf of her son, who died in February 2020 at age 20 of gunshot wounds after four intruders broke into the house he was renting. One of them was only 15. Jon Bon Jovi introduced Icon Award recipient Pink, noting that they had been longtime friends. In her speech, Pink said, “This is an absolute honor. Dream big because what if it comes true?” Machine Gun Kelly was named top rock artist. BTS won three awards, including top duo/group, top song sales artist and top social artist (a fan-voted award). They also performed ‘Butter’ from their home base of Seoul, South Korea. Among the performers were The Jonas Brothers, AJR, Bad Bunny, Duran Duran, Glass Animals, Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis with Sounds of Blackness featuring Ann Nesby, Karol G, The Weeknd and Twenty One Pilots.

The Weeknd named Top Artist at Billboard Music Awards: Full winners list

<p>"Let's never lose hope." This is the message from the South Korean music sensation BTS to their fans, known as ARMY, in India as the nation grapples with the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.</p>

<p>The group enjoys a massive following in India and is yet to tour the country.</p>

<p>Asked if there was a message for the ARMY in the country amid the pandemic, member V told PTI in an email interaction, "Our prayers are with India. Stay strong ARMY and let's never lose hope."</p>

<p>The septet, also comprising RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, and Jungkook, recently released their second English single ‘Butter’.</p>

<p>The groovy disco-pop summer track smoothly crossed 113 million views on YouTube in the first 24 hours of its release on Friday, besting the 98.3 million public views counter-mark for the band's Grammy-nominated maiden English single ‘Dynamite’.</p>

<p>In the run-up to the release of ‘Butter’, BTS floated the concept art of the song which had a melting heart at its centre.</p>

<p>Asked what was the idea behind this single, Jimin (25) said the members were looking for a song with a summer vibe, something they could enjoy with everyone.</p>

<p>"We wanted a summer song that we can enjoy together with ARMY and everyone. And 'Butter' was the perfect fit," he said.</p>

<p>"It's a song brimming with the charms of BTS, so I hope everyone enjoys it!" V, 25, added.</p>

<p>The group is set to deliver the first on-stage performance of ‘Butter’ at the upcoming Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs), where they have yet again been nominated for the top social artist honour, the award they have been winning since 2017.</p>

<p>They are also nominated in the top duo/group, top song sales artist and top selling song (‘Dynamite’) categories.</p>

<p>In 2019, BTS -- the full name is Bangtan Sonyeondan (Bulletproof Boy Scouts) or Beyond The Scene, their English branding -- also became the only South Korean group to win the top duo/group award at the BBMAs.</p>

<p>It is a special feeling to return to the music gala after having such a memorable run at the charts last year for ‘Dynamite’, their career's first Billboard Hot 100 No 1 hit.</p>

<p>It is an honour to perform ‘Butter’ at the BBMAs, said Suga.</p>

<p>"One of the most memorable moments last year was when we got our first number one song on the Billboard's Hot 100 chart. So it's an honour to perform 'Butter' for the first time at the awards show that bears such a special meaning for us," the 28-year-old added.</p>

<p>Jung Kook, the youngest BTS member, said he hopes ARMY likes their act.</p>

<p>"As we always do, we prepared a spectacular performance for this year's BBMAs too. So I hope our fans like it," the 23-year-old said.</p>

<p>Although the optimism of ‘Dynamite’ was exactly what ARMY around the world needed last year during peak pandemic, there were other songs in the band's 2020 album 'Map of the Soul: 7' like 'ON' and 'Black Swan' that the group's fans believed also deserved a nod at the Grammy Awards.</p>

<p>When asked to comment, group leader RM said while these awards recognise some of the most ambitious projects in music, not getting a nod at the Grammys or any other music awards "doesn't mean that song is less valuable".</p>

<p>" 'ON' and 'Black Swan' delivered a deep message that we held in our seventh year into our careers, and that itself is invaluable," the 26-year-old said.</p>

<p>Their label HYBE Corporation, previously known as Big Hit Entertainment, last month acquired American record executive Scooter Braun's Ithaca Holdings, which is home to artists like Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, and Demi Lovato.</p>

<p>Asked what surprises are in store for ARMY following this development, while nothing was decided yet, J-Hope teased that this partnership will open doors to many more opportunities.</p>

<p>"One thing we can promise for sure are amazing and unforgettable performances, so be on the lookout," the 27-year-old said.</p>

<p>Jin, 28, said like ARMY, he too was looking forward to more surprises.</p>

<p>"I honestly think possibilities are endless because all these things are not something that we did alone, but we did together with our ARMY," he added.</p>

<p>BTS debuted in 2013 and to mark their eight year anniversary, the group announced a special two-day event, 'BTS 2021 Muster SOWOOZOO' in June.</p>

<p>Asked how the future looks for the septet, Suga said they want to stay together and continue making good music.</p>

<p>"We want to connect with everyone around the world with great music and stages, and keep going as a group," he added.</p>

<p>In a new documentary series set for release Friday Prince Harry is once again emphasizing that his family turned a blind eye to the struggles of his wife Meghan Markle, saying he will "never be bullied into silence."</p>

<p>The series comes out a day after the release of an independent inquiry in Britain that found that a BBC journalist used falsified documents to land a sensational 1995 sit-down with Princess Diana, the mother of Harry and his elder brother William, in which she detailed her troubled marriage to Prince Charles.</p>

<p>"I thought my family would help, but every single ask, request, warning, whatever it is, just got met with total silence or total neglect," Harry said concerning his wife's depression after the birth of their son Archie.</p>

<p>Both Harry and his spouse have already detailed mental struggles, with Meghan saying she had suicidal thoughts in 2019.</p>

<p>In the Apple+ series entitled "The Me You Can't See" -- which Harry co-produced with Oprah Winfrey -- the grandson of Britain's Queen Elizabeth II says he felt ashamed going to his family, because he knew "that I'm not going to get from my family what I need."</p>

<p>Focused on combatting the stigma surrounding the issue of mental health, the new docuseries doesn't drop any new bombshells, but it sees the youngest son of Prince Charles and Diana deal a new blow to Windsor Castle.</p>

<p>The couple sat with Oprah at length for a CBS interview broadcast in early March, triggering the royal family's biggest crisis since Harry's mother died in a car crash in 1997.</p>

<p>In the new series Harry focuses criticism particularly on his father, who previously has been accused of indifference towards his children.</p>

<p>"My father used to say to me when I was younger, to both William and I: it was like that for me, so it's going to be like that for you," the 36-year-old also known as the Duke of Sussex says.</p>

<p>"That doesn't make sense. Just because you suffered that doesn't mean that your kids have to suffer," Harry says.</p>

<p>"In fact quite the opposite. If you suffered, do everything you can to make sure that whatever negative experiences that you had, you can make it right for your kids.</p>

<p>- Mental health priorities -</p>

<p>Harry has spoken to his father multiple times since the Oprah interview came out, notably after the funeral of his grandfather, Prince Philip, according to British media.</p>

<p>But their relations remain tense.</p>

<p>The majority of Britons hold unfavorable opinions of Harry and Meghan, according to a recent YouGov poll, as Prince Charles' ratings have jumped.</p>

<p>Some British press accuses the couple of both denouncing media treatment and using coverage to boost their image.</p>

<p>In the series Harry says that as a boy he felt powerless to protect his mother, who was constantly hounded by the press.</p>

<p>On Thursday, journalist Martin Bashir apologized for using fake bank statements to persuade Diana to let him interview her for the BBC.</p>

<p>In the series Harry also details his experience with therapy, saying it has "equipped me to be able to take on anything" and especially helped him cope with the death of his mother when he was 12.</p>

<p>He said being with Meghan helped him realize the importance of mental health: "I knew that if I didn't do the therapy and fix myself that I was going to lose this woman who I could see spending the rest of my life with."</p>

<p>The Duke and Duchess of Sussex in January 2020 announced they would quit frontline royal duties.</p>

<p>They relocated to California, where Meghan is from.</p>

<p>Harry says in the show his greatest regret is not "making more of a stance earlier in my relationship with my wife and calling out the racism" the former actor faced from British press and social media.</p>

<p>The prince doesn't direct any accusations of racism towards his family in the documentary, though in March he said a relative was concerned over his son's skin color before he was born.</p>

<p>That allegation shook Buckingham Palace, with Prince William, Harry's brother, jumping to defend the institution: "We're very much not a racist family."</p>
