Yash's Toxic English version struggles at box office, pulled after just one week

<p>Kim Nam-joon, better known as RM, has spent more than a decade leading BTS while building a bond with Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook that goes far beyond their work as a group. From chaotic behind-the-scenes moments and playful teasing to emotional speeches and birthday celebrations, the seven members have shared countless memories over the years. As he celebrates his birthday today, i.e., September 12, here are a few of the memorable moments with his members.&nbsp;</p><h2>Memorable moments of RM with his BTS members</h2><p><strong>Namjin's ripped shirt moment</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>During the BTS concert in Arlington, Texas, Jin hilariously poked his head through a massive rip in Namjoon's shirt on stage. This chaotic event happened during Day 2 of the BTS Arirang World Tour stop in Arlington, Texas, while the group was performing the song "Butter". Namjoon (RM) wore a t-shirt that already had a tear in the back. Jungkook playfully made the rip wider, exposing Namjoon's back. J-Hope then hyped up the crowd to look at the torn outfit on the big screens. Jin asked Namjoon for a quick joke permission tap on the shoulder. He then ducked behind the leader and pushed his entire head right through the large hole in the back of Namjoon's shirt. Jin kept singing his lyrics straight from inside the fabric while Namjoon stood there trying to keep performing with a look of defeated resignation. Jungkook and the other members laughed on stage as the stadium cameras zoomed in on the hilarious moment.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bts-rm-adds-another-milestone-as-national-museum-of-korea-s-first-global-ambassador-1781945969834"><strong>BTS' RM adds another milestone as National Museum of Korea's first Global Ambassador</strong></a></p>

<p><strong>Viral saxophone reunion</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>BTS member RM (Namjoon) famously played the group's hit song "Dynamite" on the saxophone to welcome Jin upon his discharge from the South Korean military on June 12, 2024. RM surprised Jin with a live saxophone performance outside the military base in Yeoncheon as Jin completed his 18-month mandatory service. RM played the energetic rendition of BTS hit track Dynamite. J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook also showed up to celebrate Jin's return. Jin later revealed on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and in interviews that he was so overwhelmed, emotional, and busy dealing with reporters that he did not even realise RM was standing there playing the instrument.</p>

<p><strong>God of destruction moments</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Fans and members call him the "God of Destruction" because he constantly breaks everyday objects. He has broken sunglasses, stage props, furniture, and even pulled off door handles by accident. One classic clip shows him completely baffled by an ambulance door, struggling to open it while on camera. His lack of spatial awareness occasionally leads to funny domino effects where he trips or drops things, accidentally causing other members to stumble during performances.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/opinions/a-decade-of-bts-why-every-army-takes-their-success-personally-1778833510762"><strong>A decade of BTS: Why every ARMY takes the K-pop boy band's success personally</strong></a></p>

As RM turns 32 today, here are some of the most memorable moments between Namjoon and Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook that highlight the friendship behind one of the world’s biggest groups.

Kim Nam-joon, better known as RM, has spent more than a decade leading BTS while building a bond with Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook that goes far beyond their work as a group. From chaotic behind-the-scenes moments and playful teasing to emotional speeches and birthday celebrations, the seven members have shared countless memories over the years. As he celebrates his birthday today, i.e., September 12, here are a few of the memorable moments with his members. Memorable moments of RM with his BTS members Namjin's ripped shirt moment During the BTS concert in Arlington, Texas, Jin hilariously poked his head through a massive rip in Namjoon's shirt on stage. This chaotic event happened during Day 2 of the BTS Arirang World Tour stop in Arlington, Texas, while the group was performing the song "Butter". Namjoon (RM) wore a t-shirt that already had a tear in the back. Jungkook playfully made the rip wider, exposing Namjoon's back. J-Hope then hyped up the crowd to look at the torn outfit on the big screens. Jin asked Namjoon for a quick joke permission tap on the shoulder. He then ducked behind the leader and pushed his entire head right through the large hole in the back of Namjoon's shirt. Jin kept singing his lyrics straight from inside the fabric while Namjoon stood there trying to keep performing with a look of defeated resignation. Jungkook and the other members laughed on stage as the stadium cameras zoomed in on the hilarious moment.

<p>JK Rowling is back in headlines not for the upcoming Harry Potter show, but for her views on transgender rights. The long-running controversy surrounding the Harry Potter authors has erupted into another high-profile Hollywood clash. Lilly Wachowski, the filmmaker behind The Matrix, has sharply criticised the Harry Potter author over her activism and financial support for women’s rights campaigns, going as far as accusing her of “funding trans genocide<strong>".</strong></p><h2>Lilly Wachowski calls out JK Rowling over transgender rights</h2><p>In a recent interview with <i>Variety</i>, Lilly Wachowski has slammed the Harry Potter author, as the Matrix director had publicly come out as transgender in 2016. During the interaction with the publication, she had said, "She is funding trans genocide. JK Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support Harry Potter, you're supporting trans genocide. The money that goes into you enjoying these products – a portion of that money goes to JK Rowling, and that money goes into her funding anti-trans legislation all over the world."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/jk-rowling-s-superyacht-with-hidden-name-sparks-mystery-after-docking-in-los-angeles-1788591160462"><strong>JK Rowling’s superyacht with hidden name sparks mystery after docking in Los Angeles</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>She further said, "In the same way that if you are against Elon Musk, you boycott or don't buy Tesla, and if you're against global warming/Elon Musk, you boycott or don't buy Tesla, and if you're against global warming/climate change, you try not to buy as much gas, and you try to mitigate your use of these products."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/harry-potter-turns-46-9-fascinating-facts-you-didn-t-know-about-jk-rowling-and-the-wizarding-world-1785484495294"><strong>Happy 46th Birthday, Harry Potter! 9 mind-blowing wizarding world secrets you never knew</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>"It's simple math. So, your enjoyment of these shows and continued support of these shows is supporting my eradication." When speaking about Rowling and Musk as two people who have inflicted an enormous amount of cultural damage on the trans community,” Wachowski said, “these people are Nazis. They’re literal Nazis. There is a one-to-one connection between Elon Musk and the Nazi community. He did a full-blown Sieg Heil on a national stage. I think that the global community needs to firewall the U.S. from their populations in a way because this country has allowed Nazi propaganda to proliferate to such a degree that it has become dangerous to the global population.”</p><h2>JK Rowling's rep fires back at Lilly Wachowski's statements against the author</h2><p>The agent of JK Rowling, Neil Blair, issued a statement to Entertainment Weekly and denied Wachowski's accusation toward the Harry Potter author of funding anti-trans legislation. The agent stated, "Freedom of speech is a principle we should all cherish. What matters is that J.K. Rowling’s views, as with anyone else’s, are represented accurately, fairly and respectfully and that individual opinion does not detract from those views."</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also Read: </strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/john-lithgow-nearly-left-harry-potter-reboot-amid-j-k-rowling-row-reveals-why-he-stayed-1774075345572"><strong>John Lithgow nearly left Harry Potter reboot amid J.K. Rowling row, reveals why he stayed</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Blair continued, "To correct Lilly Wachowski, through The J.K. Rowling Women’s Fund, J.K Rowling supports women taking legal action in the UK to preserve their existing rights under the Equality Act 2010, which are often overlooked or threatened. She does not support legal actions aimed at harming transgender people or efforts to limit trans rights.”</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Blair added, “People are free to disagree with her views, but seriously defamatory allegations of this nature, even outrageously invoking the Nazis and the genocide that they committed, should never be presented as fact when they are clearly fabricated and not based on any evidence.”</p><h2>Why has J.K.

Lily Wachowski has called out JK Rowling's views on transgender rights after accusing the author of funding trans genocide. Read to know more.

JK Rowling is back in headlines not for the upcoming Harry Potter show, but for her views on transgender rights. The long-running controversy surrounding the Harry Potter authors has erupted into another high-profile Hollywood clash. Lilly Wachowski, the filmmaker behind The Matrix, has sharply criticised the Harry Potter author over her activism and financial support for women’s rights campaigns, going as far as accusing her of “funding trans genocide". Lilly Wachowski calls out JK Rowling over transgender rights In a recent interview with Variety, Lilly Wachowski has slammed the Harry Potter author, as the Matrix director had publicly come out as transgender in 2016. During the interaction with the publication, she had said, "She is funding trans genocide. JK Rowling funds trans genocide, full stop. So, if you support Harry Potter, you're supporting trans genocide. The money that goes into you enjoying these products – a portion of that money goes to JK Rowling, and that money goes into her funding anti-trans legislation all over the world."

Also Read: Happy 46th Birthday, Harry Potter! 9 mind-blowing wizarding world secrets you never knew "It's simple math. So, your enjoyment of these shows and continued support of these shows is supporting my eradication." When speaking about Rowling and Musk as two people who have inflicted an enormous amount of cultural damage on the trans community,” Wachowski said, “these people are Nazis. They’re literal Nazis. There is a one-to-one connection between Elon Musk and the Nazi community. He did a full-blown Sieg Heil on a national stage. I think that the global community needs to firewall the U.S. from their populations in a way because this country has allowed Nazi propaganda to proliferate to such a degree that it has become dangerous to the global population.” JK Rowling's rep fires back at Lilly Wachowski's statements against the author The agent of JK Rowling, Neil Blair, issued a statement to Entertainment Weekly and denied Wachowski's accusation toward the Harry Potter author of funding anti-trans legislation. The agent stated, "Freedom of speech is a principle we should all cherish. What matters is that J.K. Rowling’s views, as with anyone else’s, are represented accurately, fairly and respectfully and that individual opinion does not detract from those views." Also Read: John Lithgow nearly left Harry Potter reboot amid J.K. Rowling row, reveals why he stayed Blair continued, "To correct Lilly Wachowski, through The J.K. Rowling Women’s Fund, J.K Rowling supports women taking legal action in the UK to preserve their existing rights under the Equality Act 2010, which are often overlooked or threatened. She does not support legal actions aimed at harming transgender people or efforts to limit trans rights.” Blair added, “People are free to disagree with her views, but seriously defamatory allegations of this nature, even outrageously invoking the Nazis and the genocide that they committed, should never be presented as fact when they are clearly fabricated and not based on any evidence.” Why has J.K. Rowling faced backlash over her views on transgender rights? J.K. Rowling is a prominent gender-critical campaigner who has faced extensive public controversy and accusations of transphobia for her views on biological sex and transgender rights.

<p><strong>New Year celebration in 2019</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;Gaga and Polansky have been together since 2020 and have never shied away from showing their love to the world. However, their love blossomed during the COVID-19 pandemic when they ended up quarantining together at her Malibu home for a few months. &nbsp;But both Gaga and Polansky have kept their love both public and private.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Also read:</strong> <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/lady-gaga-is-a-mom-oscar-winning-singer-welcomes-first-child-with-fiance-michael-polansky-1789179204815">Lady Gaga welcomes first child with fiance Michael Polansky</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Beginning of 2020&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Gaga and Polansky's love first made headlines after they were seen spending time together on New Year's Eve in December 2019, and after her picture kissing a man in Las Vegas went viral. Later, in February 2020, Polansky also attended Gaga's Super Bowl performance. &nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Love blossomed in Quarantine&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>In 2020, after the world shut down due to the pandemic, the duo spent a lot of time together as they quarantined at her Malibu house for months, and were also spotted stepping out for coffee dates with their masks on. In January 2021, Polansky also supported his now-fiancée during her performance at Joe Biden's presidential inauguration, and they were seen walking hand-in-hand. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>March 2021&nbsp;</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Gaga has tried her best to maintain her relationship, but she has also shared sweet anecdotes about their love from time to time. In 2021, while she was promoting House of Gucci, she called the man and her dogs her whole life. "My dogs and the man that I love are my whole life," she told The Hollywood Reporter in November 2021. &nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Engagement &nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>In April 2024, Gaga sparked engagement rumours when she was spotted wearing a diamond ring. Later, she confirmed that all the rumours were true when she was in Paris for the Summer Olympics and introduced her longtime boyfriend and entrepreneur, Michael Polansky, as her fiancé to French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Since then, the couple have been spotted several times at events, on regular outings, and now they have become parents.</p>

Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky have reportedly welcomed their first child. While the couple have not shared any official information, they were spotted outside with a baby. Now, with the new addition, here's a look at their six-year-long relationship. 

Lady Gaga is now a mom. If reports are to be believed, the pop star has welcomed her first child with fiancé Michael Polansky. What started in 2020 has now taken a major turn as the couple has welcomed their little one. No reports are available on whether Gaga was pregnant or if they welcomed the baby through surrogacy or adoption. Also, no details about the baby's name, sex, or birth date are available as of now. The couple have not officially announced the arrival of their baby. As per reports, the pair were seen with their child in Northern California. Gaga was photographed holding the baby close to her as she and Polansky went for a walk. As per reports, the pair were seen with their child in Northern California.
