Three-time Oscar winner Sean Penn is to direct a film centering on a police officer caught up in the January 6, 2021 assault on the US Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump, entertainment media reported Tuesday. The film, which Penn has also reportedly written, is expected to star Academy Award nominee Bradley Cooper in the role of the currently un-named officer, Deadline said. Production is scheduled for next year, and is expected to be handled by Warner Bros., the studio behind the Oscar-winning "One Battle After Another," for which Penn received his most recent golden statuette. Representatives for the 65-year-old actor-director did not immediately respond to AFP requests for comment. The Capitol attack is a huge fautline in American public life, which came when thousands of Trump supporters stormed the building in a bid to stop the certification of Joe Biden's presidential election victory. Trump continues to deny that he lost the 2020 election, and has repeatedly called those who participated in the attack "patriots," issuing pardons and commutations even to those who admitted assaulting police officers. Penn, known for his left-of-center politics and social activism, attended legislative hearings investigating the insurrection, where he was photographed sitting alongside officers who had were caught up in the incident, including Michael Fanone and Daniel Hodges. Fanone -- a former Trump supporter -- has spoken repeatedly about the trauma he experienced during the uprising, including in his 2022 memoir "Hold the Line: The Insurrection and One Cop's Battle for America's Soul." Warner Bros. is on the verge of being swallowed by Paramount Skydance, whose CEO David Ellison is the son of Trump ally Larry Ellison.

The Grammy Awards is expanding its horizons by adding five new categories to its lineup, including Best Asian Pop Music Performance and Best Latin Song. Scheduled to debut at next year’s awards ceremony, the expansion follows a historic year where international genres dominated the spotlight. The major shift comes following a historic night for global music at Grammys 2026. Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny became the first artist to win the coveted Album of the Year prize for a Spanish-language record, while the anthem "Golden" from the movie KPop Demon Hunters also made history at the US ceremony earlier this year. A push for inclusivity The annual award show—widely regarded as music's biggest night—hands out gongs to artists across a vast landscape of genres. According to the Recording Academy, these new additions are designed to better reflect the diverse reality of today's global charts. Grammys chief executive Harvey Mason Jr shared the vision behind the expansion in a statement and said, "Expanding the number of categories makes the event more inclusive and enables the awards to represent more music creators, artists, writers and producers." This change has been in the making for some time. The Recording Academy, which organizes the Grammy Awards, strategically added a number of Korean and Latino artists to its voting panel last year—a move widely seen as laying the groundwork for this very expansion. Mason Jr emphasized that the academy listened directly to the industry. "The changes were all inspired by our music community sharing with us that they felt they needed to have more opportunities to celebrate different and new genres of music." New rules and guidelines The Academy has laid out clear guidelines for the new global fields. Tracks hoping to be nominated for the new Best Latin Song award will need to be "predominantly in the Spanish language." Meanwhile, the Best Asian Pop Music Performance category will cast a wide net, making music across various Asian pop genres—including K-pop, J-pop, and C-pop—fully eligible. The decision closely follows the massive commercial momentum of global artists. Bad Bunny, who was crowned the world's most-played artist in 2025 according to Spotify, also picked up Best Música Urbana Album for Debí Tirar Más Fotos (I Should Have Taken More Photos) and Best Global Music Performance at the Grammys in February. Simultaneously, "Golden"—the inescapable hit performed by the fictional band Huntr/x for the film KPop Demon Hunters—became the first-ever K-pop song to win a Grammy for Best Song for Visual Media, underscoring the undeniable cultural and commercial force of Korean pop. Shuffling the traditional categories The remaining three new categories focus on defining and honouring specific American genres including Best R&B Collaboration or Duo/Group Performance, Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance, Best Traditional Folk Album. To accommodate these additions, some existing categories are getting a makeover. The current R&B Performance category is being renamed to focus strictly on solo acts. Additionally, the existing Folk Album prize will now be dedicated entirely to contemporary folk, leaving the traditional roots to the newly created traditional folk category. Apart from changing genres, the Academy is loosening its strict rulebook for emerging talent. The eligibility criteria for Best New Artist have been altered, increasing the number of times a performer can be submitted for consideration from three to four. This rule change gives a massive lifeline to up-and-coming acts like Ravyn Lenae and Ella Langley. Both artists had already been put forward in three previous years and would have been locked out under the old rules, but they are now eligible to be nominated once again. All new categories and rule adjustments will officially take effect starting with next year's ceremony.

SEVENTEEN's Joshua to represent group at UNESCO event in Paris- Details inside

<p>Heart attack and other cardiovascular diseases are no longer only reserved for later stages in life. In recent years, cardiologists have been frequently witnessing individuals between 20 and 40 years old presenting with significant heart complications. Said to be driven by professional demands and modern dietary trends, younger adults are facing a quiet crisis.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To understand how daily choices influence the cardiovascular system, WION reached out to leading medical experts who break down the subtle habits that put young hearts at risk.</p><h2>How stress affects your health</h2><p>Modern lifestyle often causes psychological and emotional strain that has a direct effect on heart health. According to<i><strong> Dr Abhishek Singh, Consultant - Cardiology, Manipal Hospital, Ghaziabad,</strong></i> "Stress is not just an emotional issue; it can directly affect the heart."</p><p>He states that chronic stress triggers the release of hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, which increase heart rate and blood pressure. With passing time, this can affect blood vessels, encourage inflammation, and increase the risk of hypertension, heart attacks, and stroke. "Stress may also lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms such as smoking, overeating, poor sleep, and physical inactivity, all of which further contribute to cardiovascular disease."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/science/wion-decodes-why-does-coffee-calm-some-people-instead-of-waking-them-up-here-s-what-science-says-1780995139137"><strong>WION Decodes | Why does coffee calm some people instead of waking them up?</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To counteract fatigue and high-pressure schedules, many individuals turn to high-stimulant beverages. While an occasional cup of coffee is generally considered benign, "excessive consumption of energy drinks and caffeine can negatively affect heart health," Dr Singh explained. "These beverages often contain high levels of caffeine, sugar, and stimulants that can increase blood pressure and heart rate, and in some cases trigger palpitations or abnormal heart rhythms. When combined with stress, dehydration, alcohol, or intense physical activity, the cardiovascular effects can become more pronounced and potentially dangerous."</p><h2>Silent factors that affect your health</h2><p>Cardiovascular degeneration doesn't happen overnight. "A bunch of everyday habits can slowly raise the chances of heart disease, even if nothing feels urgent at first," shares <i><strong>Dr. G Dimpu Edwin Jonathan, Consultant - Interventional Cardiologist, Aster RV Hospital,</strong></i> Bangalore. "One of the big ones is plain physical inactivity, like sitting for long hours at work, on the commute, or just being stuck with electronic devices. When movement drops, calorie burning drops too, and that can slide into obesity, higher blood pressure and even less favorable circulation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Eat healthy food

<p>Another major contributor is an unhealthy diet, especially meals packed with processed foods, sugary drinks, too much salt, and unhealthy fats. Over time, these choices can push cholesterol levels upward and gradually harm the blood vessels. Also, smoking and even regular exposure to secondhand smoke, noticeably increase the risk of heart attacks because it damages the artery linings.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Chronic stress is sort of a hidden risk as well; it can raise blood pressure and nudge people toward unhealthy coping habits such as overeating or smoking. Then there is inadequate sleep, heavy alcohol use, and skipping routine health checkups, which all can add weight to the problem. Since high blood pressure and high cholesterol often arrive quietly, it really helps to keep steady, heart-friendly</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dr Jonathan further states the progressive damage caused by sleep deprivation. "Bad sleep, can really mess with heart health, most noticeably if it starts turning into a long term habit. During those hours, the body mends tissues, balances hormones, and gives the heart and blood vessels a chance to bounce back from the usual daily pressure. But if someone keeps getting under the suggested 7–9 hours, then these recovery steps can get thrown off. With time, not enough sleep may push up the odds of high blood pressure, because the blood pressure can stay higher longer than it should."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/want-brighter-skin-collagen-supplements-helps-but-these-nutrients-matter-too-expert-explains-1781347677448"><strong>Want brighter skin? Collagen supplements helps, but these nutrients matter too</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On top of that, poor sleep may make it harder for the body to handle blood sugar and overall metabolism, which can raise the chance of gaining weight and developing type 2 diabetes, and both of those are major risk factors for heart disease.</p><h2>Is your diet killing your heart?</h2><p>As per Dr Singh, "Extreme dieting and frequently skipping meals can have unintended consequences for heart health. Restrictive diets may deprive the body of essential nutrients needed for proper heart and blood vessel function. They can also cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels, electrolyte imbalances, fatigue, and changes in heart rhythm. Rather than pursuing quick weight-loss methods, people should focus on balanced, sustainable eating habits that support long-term cardiovascular health."</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Adequate sleep is necessary

<p>&nbsp;</p><p>Adding to this issue, "A lot of eating habits get underestimated, even though they’re clearly tied to heart disease," Dr Jonathan adds. "One of the most common ones is drinking sugary stuff all the time, think about soft drinks, sweetened teas, and energy drinks. These kinds of drinks can push weight up, cause insulin resistance, and also feed inflammation. Another thing people barely notice is eating really big portions, even when what’s on the plate looks 'healthy.' Regularly going past what your body needs can turn into too many calories, and then obesity. Also, many folks don’t really appreciate how much high sodium intake matters. Too much salt, which is often tucked away in packaged foods, sauces and restaurant meals, can raise blood pressure and basically put more stress on the heart."</p><p>He advises to "pick whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats, while reducing processed foods to reduce cardiovascular risk."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/beyond-the-scale-the-hard-truth-about-fitness-nobody-talks-about-1781351991790"><strong>Beyond the scale: The hard truth about fitness nobody talks about</strong></a></p><h2>Red flags for your heart health</h2><p>"A lot of people assume heart disease is something that only shows up for older adults, but cardiovascular problems are being found in younger people now, mostly because of sedentary ways of living, day-to-day stress, worse food choices, smoking, and also higher numbers of obesity and diabetes," explains <i><strong>Dr. Sunil Kumar Mandal, Consultant Cardiologist, Kailash Hospital, Greater Noida, &nbsp;a part of Kailash Healthcare</strong></i>.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Some warning signs you really should not brush off include ongoing chest discomfort, unexplained shortness of breath, fluttering or unusual palpitations, dizzy spells, fainting episodes, extreme tiredness, and swelling around the legs or even the ankles.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"If someone has a family history of heart disease, or high blood pressure, or diabetes, or has elevated cholesterol, they should stay extra alert. Getting checked early and acting in time can reduce the risk of serious complications, and it can also make a meaningful difference for long term heart health," he adds.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Beyond recognizing sudden changes, proactive diagnostic evaluations are critical for catching asymptomatic biomarkers, such as borderline hypertension or elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dr Mandal emphasizes the need for regular screenings, saying, "Even healthy adults should still do periodic checkups, because a lot of cardiovascular risk factors quietly grow in the background. Adults in their 20s and 30s should get their blood pressure measured at least once every one to two years. Cholesterol and blood sugar should also be checked from time to time, depending on age, risk level, and family history."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/trending/sandhya-mridul-calls-out-entitlement-class-bias-in-video-wion-decodes-1781500976161"><strong>Why do some people feel entitled to disrespect those with fewer means?</strong></a></p><h2>A small step towards a healthy heart</h2><p>Protecting the heart from modern lifestyle risks does not require impractical changes. As per Dr Mandal, "Small but steady lifestyle adjustments can have a real effect on cardiovascular health, even if it feels kind of gradual. Regular movement—like brisk walking for at least 30 minutes most days—tends to help heart performance and blood flow. Also, eating in a balanced way matters a lot: think fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats, while cutting back on processed foods, too much salt, and added sugar."</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Yoga can improve heart health

<p>In the same lane, avoiding tobacco in any form, moderating alcohol, keeping a healthy body weight, and dealing with stress through things like yoga, meditation, or mindful breathing can reduce the risk of heart disease substantially. Sticking with these habits usually brings more value than a short burst of intense effort.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In tandem with nutrition and exercise, Dr Jonathan highlights that "Managing stress in a way that actually works is pretty important when you think about heart health, because chronic stress can lead to higher blood pressure, more inflammation, and then a bunch of unhealthy daily choices. For many people, one of the best moves is just regular physical activity, it sounds simple but it helps a lot. Exercise can cut down stress hormones, boost your mood, and it also gives your cardiovascular system a stronger foundation."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Another part is mindfulness practices, which can mean meditation, deep breathing exercises, or relaxation routines. These can reduce anxiety and support emotional steadiness, even if life is kind of messy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"And don’t ignore sleep either, keeping a healthy sleep schedule matters because adequate rest helps the body repair itself from everyday stress, day after day. Also, social ties are a big deal. Strong connections can give emotional backing and lower the sense of being alone, which sometimes feels like it adds fuel to stress. Just talking with friends or family, or reaching out to a mental health professional, can help you handle tense moments more skillfully."</p><p><br>With these small steps one can easily improve their long-term health.</p>

In recent years, the risk of cardiovascular diseases has seen a significant rise among young adults. Driven by professional demands and modern dietary trends, it can cause severe harm to your long-term health. 

Heart attack and other cardiovascular diseases are no longer only reserved for later stages in life. In recent years, cardiologists have been frequently witnessing individuals between 20 and 40 years old presenting with significant heart complications. Said to be driven by professional demands and modern dietary trends, younger adults are facing a quiet crisis. To understand how daily choices influence the cardiovascular system, WION reached out to leading medical experts who break down the subtle habits that put young hearts at risk. How stress affects your health Modern lifestyle often causes psychological and emotional strain that has a direct effect on heart health. According to Dr Abhishek Singh, Consultant - Cardiology, Manipal Hospital, Ghaziabad, "Stress is not just an emotional issue; it can directly affect the heart." He states that chronic stress triggers the release of hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline, which increase heart rate and blood pressure. With passing time, this can affect blood vessels, encourage inflammation, and increase the risk of hypertension, heart attacks, and stroke. "Stress may also lead to unhealthy coping mechanisms such as smoking, overeating, poor sleep, and physical inactivity, all of which further contribute to cardiovascular disease." Also Read: WION Decodes | Why does coffee calm some people instead of waking them up? To counteract fatigue and high-pressure schedules, many individuals turn to high-stimulant beverages. While an occasional cup of coffee is generally considered benign, "excessive consumption of energy drinks and caffeine can negatively affect heart health," Dr Singh explained. "These beverages often contain high levels of caffeine, sugar, and stimulants that can increase blood pressure and heart rate, and in some cases trigger palpitations or abnormal heart rhythms. When combined with stress, dehydration, alcohol, or intense physical activity, the cardiovascular effects can become more pronounced and potentially dangerous." Silent factors that affect your health Cardiovascular degeneration doesn't happen overnight. "A bunch of everyday habits can slowly raise the chances of heart disease, even if nothing feels urgent at first," shares Dr. G Dimpu Edwin Jonathan, Consultant - Interventional Cardiologist, Aster RV Hospital, Bangalore. "One of the big ones is plain physical inactivity, like sitting for long hours at work, on the commute, or just being stuck with electronic devices. When movement drops, calorie burning drops too, and that can slide into obesity, higher blood pressure and even less favorable circulation.

<p>In recent years, the risk of cardiovascular diseases has seen a significant rise among young adults. Driven by professional demands and modern dietary trends, it can cause severe harm to your long-term health.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The love for Broadway is due to its ability to bring storytelling on stage with live music and breathtaking choreography. The vibrant form collaborates with some of the greatest minds in the creative industry and transports audiences into entirely new worlds. But what happens when Broadway blends with Hollywood and brings a cinematic touch to it? Let's delve in to know how Hollywood is trying to bring in Broadway on the global stage and much more.</p><h2>Hollywood's fondness for Broadway adaptations</h2><p>Although Broadway and Hollywood have a long shared creative relationship, in recent years, in the showbiz industry, we have seen a massive boom of studios adapting Broadway styles for their next big-screen projects, transforming musicals into cinematic events.

That comes along when the main backbone, i.e., the studio, makes transitions from stage to screen with cinematic touch. Some of the adaptations that became successful on the global stage are the following:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>West Side Story</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>West Side Story </i>is a musical that reimagines Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet in 1950s New York City. The original Broadway production opened in 1957, featuring a book by Arthur Laurents, music by Leonard Bernstein, and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. It <i>revolutionised</i> musical <i>theatre</i> with its dark themes and complex, jazz-infused score.
