Renowned singer Bryan Adams reminisced about his profound friendship with the late Princess Diana in a heartfelt interview with The Sunday Times. The 64-year-old artist shared cherished memories and reflected on the remarkable connection they shared.

Their friendship began unexpectedly after Adams released the song "Diana," a tune that many linked to the princess' marriage to Prince Charles in 1981. It was during an encounter on a flight that Adams mentioned the song to Diana, leading to an invitation to Kensington Palace.

"We had a lot of really, really good conversations, I have to tell you. In fact, it’s strange and surreal to think about," he recalled to the outlet. "I really, really liked Diana, she was an amazing woman and a super-great inspiration."

"Meeting her was truly one of the greatest things that ever happened to me," Adams expressed warmly, recounting the beginnings of their friendship. He described how their relationship evolved over cups of tea and shared conversations, revealing that Diana wasn't quick to open up but gradually grew more comfortable.

"I said, ‘I used your name on a song once,’ and Diana said, ‘Yes, I know, very funny. Actually, I’d like to hear it again,’" he recalled. "So I sent a copy to Kensington Palace, got an invitation to tea back and that’s how we became friends."

Adams clarified the origins of the song "Diana," noting it was initially inspired by an unrelated event. However, out of respect for Diana and her family after her tragic passing, he "retired the song".

Back in 2018 on an episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, he addressed&nbsp;rumours suggesting a romantic involvement between the two. Adams reiterated that theirs was a cherished friendship, dispelling any notions beyond that.

Yearender 2023: The fabulous year that Taylor Swift has had

Revelations unfolded at the Manhattan trial of actor Jonathan Majors as undisclosed text messages surfaced, depicting a troubling narrative involving Majors and his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. It was disclosed during a criminal trial on Friday that Majors urged Jabbari to avoid seeking medical attention after an incident resulting in her head injury in 2022, warning her of potential consequences if the truth emerged. Texts revealed Majors' concern over a potential investigation and advised Jabbari against revealing the truth to doctors.

In the text exchange, Jabbari reassured Majors of her commitment to secrecy, expressing a willingness to fabricate the cause of her injury to protect their relationship.

The trial focused on allegations against Majors for assaulting Jabbari in a separate incident in New York City months later, with details about the prior altercation in London last September remaining undisclosed. The jury was directed to consider the messages as "background" in evaluating the assault and harassment charges stemming from the March incident.

Prosecutors portrayed Majors as exhibiting a manipulative pattern of abuse culminating in the alleged backseat assault, citing injuries that included a blow to the head, an arm twist, and a broken finger.

Majors' defence countered by implying Jabbari's involvement in instigating the struggle, highlighting her behaviour post-assault and her vague statements to authorities.

However, the trial took an unexpected turn when Judge Michael Gaffey allowed the introduction of the previously sealed messages, acknowledging the defence's aggressive attempt to question Jabbari's character.

The texts depicted Jabbari discussing her head injury's impact and Majors' emotional distress, including threats of self-harm. The exchanges occurred while the couple were residing in London during Majors' filming of the Disney+ series Loki.

Majors' future in major projects, including his role as Kang the Conqueror in Marvel films, remains uncertain as the trial continues to uncover unsettling revelations.

The golden age of Hollywood has lost one of its brightest stars as Ryan O'Neal, the charismatic leading man known for his role in the legendary tearjerker Love Story, has died at the age of 82. The news was confirmed by his son, Patrick O'Neal, a sportscaster with Bally Sports West in Los Angeles, through an emotional Instagram post.

O'Neal's career soared in the 1970s, marked by his Oscar-nominated performance as the Harvard preppie Oliver in Love Story, a film that captivated audiences worldwide with its&nbsp;romantic tale. The actor's passing on Friday follows a health battle, having been diagnosed with chronic leukaemia in 2001 and later with prostate cancer in 2012.

O'Neal was remembered not just for his on-screen talent but also for his infectious humour and charm. Describing him as "generous, funny, handsome, and charming," his son Patrick O'Neal remembered how his dad had a knack for spreading laughter in any situation.

His post read, "And the funniest person in any room. And the most handsome clearly, but also the most charming. Lethal combo. He loved to make people laugh. It’s pretty much his goal. Didn’t matter the situation, if there was a joke to be found, he nailed it. He really wanted us laughing. And we did all laugh. Every time. We had fun. Fun in the sun. (sic)"

His performances alongside MacGraw in Love Story, Streisand in What's Up, Doc?&nbsp;and The Main Event, and his memorable partnership with Tatum O'Neal in Paper Moon&nbsp;left an indelible mark on the film landscape.

Prior to his '70s heyday, O'Neal's career breakthrough came with the hit series Peyton Place, where he charmed audiences for five seasons as Rodney Harrington. His personal life also drew public attention, marked by marriages to actresses Joanna Moore and Leigh Taylor-Young, followed by a significant relationship with Farrah Fawcett, known for her iconic role in Charlie's Angels.

Love Story, which propelled O'Neal to stardom, mirrored elements of tragedy that echoed in his personal life, particularly with the loss of Farrah Fawcett to cancer in 2009. Reflecting on this in a 2011 interview, he expressed the emotional impact of the film's narrative, revealing how real-life events starkly contrasted the movie's success.

Before gracing the silver screen, O'Neal's journey into entertainment began with an early fascination for television, eventually leading him to Munich and a stint as a stuntman on the syndicated TV series Tales of the Vikings.

Rapper Tyga and model Blac Chyna have resolved their longstanding legal disputes concerning the custody of their 11-year-old son, King Cairo, with an amicable agreement.

TMZ broke the story, revealing that a judge has ordered Tyga, born Michael Stevenson, and Chyna, born Angela White, to use a monitoring program for their co-parenting communications.

The terms of their agreement include joint legal and physical custody, allowing shared decision-making on King's welfare, education, and health. King will spend weekdays with Tyga and weekends with Chyna. Notably, Tyga will not be paying child support under this arrangement.

This settlement follows Chyna's July filing requesting joint legal and physical custody of King Cairo. Tyga responded earlier to a post by The Shade Room about the filing, indicating a preference for maintaining their existing schedule.

In an October interview on The Viall Files podcast, Chyna discussed co-parenting dynamics and highlighted her desire for stability in King's routine. She explained the evolution of their custody arrangement over the years, reflecting on changes necessitated by her pregnancy with daughter Dream and the complexities of schooling.

However, Chyna voiced concerns over recent alterations in custody arrangements, attributing them to events following her legal battle involving the Kardashians.

"For the first four years of Kingy's life, I had him Monday through Friday, right?" Chyna said in the podcast. "And then that's when I had became pregnant with Dream. And it was like the school, and this, and pregnant, and a new relationship ... it was like a lot for me. So then that's when our schedules had changed."

"So then I had King Friday, Saturday, Sunday and then drop him off to school Monday. So it was like the same amount of days but we just had to just kind of switch because of the schooling. I was like, I'm just going to be realistic with myself, and this was the best schedule for me," she continued.

"But other than that, it was all good until recently this year. And then it dawned on me what had even happened. Him like keeping King longer right after I did the case with the Kardashians. You get what I'm saying? So that's when he had kind of snuck that in there," claimed Cyna.

The model, who also shares a daughter, Dream, aged 7, with ex-beau Rob Kardashian, expressed hope for an agreeable resolution, expressing a wish for a different outcome in their co-parenting journey.

Rapper Tyga and model Blac Chyna have resolved their longstanding legal disputes concerning the custody of their 11-year-old son, King Cairo, with an amicable agreement. TMZ broke the story, revealing that a judge has ordered Tyga, born Michael Stevenson, and Chyna, born Angela White, to use a monitoring program for their co-parenting communications. The terms of their agreement include joint legal and physical custody, allowing shared decision-making on King's welfare, education, and health. King will spend weekdays with Tyga and weekends with Chyna. Notably, Tyga will not be paying child support under this arrangement. This settlement follows Chyna's July filing requesting joint legal and physical custody of King Cairo. Tyga responded earlier to a post by The Shade Room about the filing, indicating a preference for maintaining their existing schedule.

She explained the evolution of their custody arrangement over the years, reflecting on changes necessitated by her pregnancy with daughter Dream and the complexities of schooling. However, Chyna voiced concerns over recent alterations in custody arrangements, attributing them to events following her legal battle involving the Kardashians. "For the first four years of Kingy's life, I had him Monday through Friday, right?" Chyna said in the podcast. "And then that's when I had became pregnant with Dream. And it was like the school, and this, and pregnant, and a new relationship ... it was like a lot for me. So then that's when our schedules had changed." "So then I had King Friday, Saturday, Sunday and then drop him off to school Monday. So it was like the same amount of days but we just had to just kind of switch because of the schooling. I was like, I'm just going to be realistic with myself, and this was the best schedule for me," she continued. "But other than that, it was all good until recently this year. And then it dawned on me what had even happened. Him like keeping King longer right after I did the case with the Kardashians. You get what I'm saying? So that's when he had kind of snuck that in there," claimed Cyna. The model, who also shares a daughter, Dream, aged 7, with ex-beau Rob Kardashian, expressed hope for an agreeable resolution, expressing a wish for a different outcome in their co-parenting journey.

The music industry has hit a crescendo, breaking all records in 2023 as concert revenues surged to an astonishing $9.17 billion for the top 100 tours, a groundbreaking achievement reported by industry authority Pollstar on Friday.

Led by powerhouse performers Beyoncé and Taylor Swift, whose Eras Tour&nbsp;crossed an unprecedented milestone by exceeding $1 billion in ticket sales, the year witnessed a staggering 46 per cent increase in total sales compared to the previous record-setting year.

Describing 2023 as an unparalleled phenomenon, Pollstar expressed awe at the magnitude of this achievement, heralding it as an unparalleled triumph for the live entertainment sector.

Every metric pointed skywards: the average revenue from a concert soared by 53 per cent to a remarkable $2.37 million, total ticket sales surged by 18 per cent, reaching an astounding 70 million, and average ticket prices ascended by more than 23 per cent to $130.81.

Swift's historic tour redefined boundaries, achieving the monumental feat of surpassing the symbolic $1 billion mark within 60 dates from March to November 2023. Pollstar projected that Swift, recently honoured as Time magazine's Person of the Year, could potentially breach the $2 billion threshold by the tour's conclusion.

Elton John's Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour, spanning 328 dates over five years, previously came closest to the billion-dollar mark, amassing a colossal $939 million.

Beyoncé followed suit with an impressive $579 million from her Renaissance Tour&nbsp;held across 56 dates, securing the second spot in the 2023 rankings. Bruce Springsteen, Coldplay, and Harry Styles completed the top five chartbusters.

Notably, this year marked a significant milestone as two women claimed the top positions in the concert revenue rankings for the first time in 15 years since Madonna and Celine Dion's reign in 2008. Pollstar hailed this as a resoundingly positive sign for the industry, emphasising that the duo not only shattered the glass ceiling but also fostered a more inclusive landscape.

The outlook for 2024 appears promising, with Swift, Springsteen, and Coldplay slated for more enthralling concerts, alongside highly anticipated tours from legendary acts like the Rolling Stones, Foo Fighters, and Carrie Underwood.&nbsp;

In a delightful blend of humour and digital artistry, Ryan Reynolds showcased his impeccable "Photoshop game" by playfully trolling his wife, Blake Lively, and close friend Taylor Swift. The actor cleverly inserted himself and Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce into a photo from Beyoncé's Renaissance concert film premiere, where Lively and Swift were striking poses for the camera.

Reynolds shared the comical creation on Instagram, captioning it with a light-hearted remark, which read, "I feel like I should remember this." The edited image featured Reynolds' face seamlessly superimposed on Lively's body and Kelce's face hilariously replacing Swift's.

Meanwhile, Swift and Kelce continue to capture attention with their apparent chemistry and date nights.

Swift's strong bond with the Reynolds-Lively family is evident, as she incorporated the names of three of the couple's four children into her song "Betty." The feeling is mutual, with the Hollywood couple consistently supporting the music sensation. And, that's not all, Reynolds and Lively also attended a Chiefs game against the Jets with Swift in New Jersey in October.

In a bold move, Pamela Anderson, 56, embraced her natural beauty at the 2023 Fashion Awards in London on Monday. The renowned actress and model graced the red carpet in a head-turning all-white ensemble, featuring wide-leg pants, a loose-fit tee, and a chic cream-coloured blazer casually draped over her shoulders.

In a behind-the-scenes video for the Vivienne Westwood show at Paris Fashion Week, Anderson shared her motivation for going makeup-free. "I don't want to compete with the clothes. I'm not trying to be the prettiest girl in the room. It's freedom. It's a release," she expressed.

In an interview with Vogue France, Anderson explained her unconventional approach, stating, "I don't need a stylist. I don't have a glam team. I'm just kind of doing this, freestyle." The Baywatch star is keen on being a model for all facets of beauty, breaking away from traditional norms.

Discussing her decision with Elle, Anderson described the experience as "freeing, and fun, and a little rebellious too." In a fashion landscape dominated by elaborate makeup looks, she chose to go against the grain. "It's just like me to go against the grain and do the opposite of what everyone's doing," she remarked.

Renowned filmmaker Karan Johar confirmed on Monday that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan would not be gracing the current season of the widely popular celebrity chat show, Koffee with Karan Season 8. Despite Shah Rukh's longstanding presence as a regular guest on the show in previous seasons, his absence has been notable in recent editions.

Speaking at an event in Mumbai, Karan expressed&nbsp;respect for Shah Rukh Khan's decision, stating, "If there is any megastar who has earned his right to speak when he needs to, it is Shah Rukh Khan."

Karan acknowledged his close bond with Shah Rukh and his hesitation in putting his friend in a position where refusal might be difficult. "I can ask him and request him and he has never said no to me. So, I never asked because I knew he didn’t want to be in that situation of dilemma, where he had to say no to me. I pick and choose what I ask for," the filmmaker disclosed.

The director-producer shared his anticipation for the suitable moment to extend an invitation to Shah Rukh, affirming his confidence in the superstar's exceptional interview skills. "When the right time is there, I will ask him. I know when he has to want to speak, he will. When he does, it’ll be extraordinary because no one gives interviews better than Shah Rukh Khan. Nobody speaks better than him," Karan remarked.

The much-anticipated sequel to Sukumar's gripping thriller, Pushpa: The Rule, featuring Allu Arjun, Rashmika Mandanna, Fahadh Faasil, and others reprising their roles, has encountered an unexpected setback. The recent shooting schedule at Hyderabad's Ramoji Film City hit a roadblock due to Allu Arjun's health concerns, halting the production of key scenes for the film.

The initial glimpse of the film showcased Allu Arjun adorned in a striking jatara get-up, signalling a departure from his previous appearance. Sources revealed that the ongoing shoot focused on sequences correlated to this unique attire, specifically related to Gangamma Thalli, a character Allu portrays in the film.

However, complications arose as Allu, in the elaborate costume and during physically demanding scenes, experienced severe back pain. Despite his determination to continue filming, Sukumar, the director, prioritised Allu's health and decided to postpone shooting until the second week of December.

An insider from Allu's team confirmed, "Allu Arjun was in the jatara get-up to shoot for a song and a fight sequence. However, the costume and the vigorous scenes gave him severe back pain. Bunny was game to continue shooting despite it but Sukumar decided to take a break instead of affecting his health further." The source further added, "Shooting will pick up again once he recuperates."

The enigmatic androgynous avatar showcased in the film's first-look poster captured widespread attention. Allu's portrayal, clad in body paint, a pattu saree, earrings, bangles, and rings, reflects Gangamma Thalli, an essential aspect of the narrative inspired by the lyrics from "Daakko Daakko Meka," referencing annual rituals held in Tirupathi.

Pushpa: The Rise, the predecessor to this sequel, received acclaim upon its December 2021 release. Allu's character, a former daily wage worker turned red sandal smuggler named Pushpa, resonated with audiences. The sequel is set to delve deeper into Pushpa's ambitions for power and his complex relationships, notably with Rashmika's Srivalli and Fahadh's Bhanwar Singh Shekawat, the antagonist.

The film's premiere is scheduled for August 15, 2024.&nbsp;

Celebrated R&amp;B sensation Usher&nbsp;bid an emotional farewell to his My Way Las Vegas residency with a moving final performance that left both the artist and his audience visibly teary-eyed.

In a powerful display of emotion during his last show at Dolby Live — Park MGM, Usher's rendition of "Without You" became an emotionally charged moment. The artist, surrounded by his team of dancers and collaborators, dropped to his knees, covering his face as tears flowed.

Fan-captured footage also displayed his vulnerability as he turned his back to the crowd to hide his emotions, post which he started an a cappella chant, stomping his feet, and eventually facing the audience and recuperating.

King lights up Gurugram’s Backyard Sports Club with his electrifying performance

On Sunday night, the spotlight at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, extended beyond the football action as pop sensation Taylor Swift returned to the stands to support her beau, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. The Grammy-winning artist was captured in Chiefs colours, donning a striking red coat and a black turtleneck while seated in a suite ahead of the game.

Swift, currently on a hiatus from the international leg of her Eras Tour, had been absent from Kelce's recent games due to her South American tour commitments. However, she made a return to witness the Chiefs face off against the Green Bay Packers.

The star-studded attendance didn't end with Swift, as Olympic gymnast Simone Biles was also present at the event, cheering for her husband Jonathon Owens, who plays for the Packers. Biles expressed her excitement about supporting Owens during an interview on The Today Show in November.

Swift's unwavering support for Kelce has been a recurring theme throughout the football season. From the VIP box at Arrowhead Stadium on September 24, where she was joined by Kelce's mom, Donna, to the game against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on October 1, where she brought along friends Ryan Reynolds, Blake Lively, Sophie Turner, and Hugh Jackman, Swift has&nbsp;proven to be the best cheerleader for Kelce. She was spotted again on October 12 at Arrowhead, where she was&nbsp;seated next to Donna for Kelce's game against the Broncos.

She was spotted again on October 12 at Arrowhead, where she was seated next to Donna for Kelce's game against the Broncos.

Renowned actor Tom Hanks took a delightful trip down memory lane during his appearance on The Graham Norton Show, joined by Cher, Julia Roberts, and Timothée Chalamet. The 67-year-old actor shared a charming anecdote from his youthful days working as a bellman at the Oakland Hilton Hotel in the 1970s.

Hanks revealed that he had the privilege of working for Cher during that time. Recounting the story, he explained how he delivered a bag to Cher's room at the hotel when she was with one of her rock-and-roll husbands.

"You were with one of your rock-and-roll husbands, and we had your bag. And then word came down, 'Hey, run this up to Cher's room,' so I did. I knocked on the door and I put it down and you came out and said, 'Yeah, that's it. Thanks, kid.' And that was it.&nbsp;So I have worked for Cher," Hanks nostalgically recounted.

The incident took place sometime&nbsp;in 1975 or 1976 when Cher was romantically linked with Gregg Allman, the Allman Brothers Band frontman whom she married in June 1975.

During the talk show, Hanks showered Cher with praise, particularly commending her performance in the 2018 film Mamma Mia! 2, where she played the role of Ruby Sheridan. He described the moment when Cher sings "Fernando" as "motion picture perfection."

Chalamet and Roberts also joined in, sharing their favourite Cher films—Moonstruck and Silkwood, respectively. This prompted Hanks to propose a group outing to the cinema, suggesting a "Cher-a-thon." Roberts enthusiastically endorsed the idea.

Lively continued, underscoring the importance of showcasing solidarity over division, particularly for younger generations. "Most of my best friends are women who would’ve been packaged to me as threats or competition. It’s our job to show younger generations the power in aligning rather than dividing," she wrote.

To sum it up, she added, "All this to say, @beyonce and @taylorswift neither of you have to be threatened by my pop stardom. There’s space for us all. Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé. In theatres now …And even better than you can imagine."

Nick Cannon, the multi-talented host of The Masked Singer, recently shed light on the financial reality of raising a large family and taking 12 kids to Disneyland every year. Appearing on New York City’s The Breakfast Club radio show, Cannon disclosed that he visits Disneyland with his 12 kids at least once a month to mark his children's special occasions and achievements.

“Do you know how much money I spend at Disneyland a year?,” Cannon questioned, prompting one host to respond, “A lot.”

Confirming the staggering figure, Cannon revealed, “To move around Disney, like, I'm probably spending $200,000 a year at Disneyland.” This substantial amount includes expenses for accommodation, a chaperone to navigate the park, and additional amenities beyond the base theme park tickets.

Cannon also shared that he no longer&nbsp;receives complimentary tickets for hosting Disneyland's Christmas morning parade. “It's no longer free, and I only had two kids then,” he reminisced, referring to his twins with Mariah Carey, Moroccan and Monroe, both 12.

Since those early days, Cannon's family has significantly expanded, welcoming children from various relationships, bringing the count to 12.&nbsp;He is dad to sons Golden Sagon, 6, and Rise Messiah Cannon, 15 months, and daughter Powerful Queen, 2, with Brittany Bell; twins Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir, both 2, and daughter Beautiful Zeppelin, 12 months, with Abby De La Rosa; daughter Onyx Ice Cole, 14 months with LaNisha Cole; and son Legendary Love, 16 months, with Bre Tiesi.

He also shares two children with Alyssa Scott — son Zen, who died at five months old in December 2021 after being diagnosed with brain cancer, and daughter Halo Marie Cannon born on Dec. 14, 2022.

While he cherishes his large family, he acknowledges the challenges of dividing time among them due to his demanding work schedule.&nbsp;"Being a father of multiple kids, it's always the biggest guilt on me is that I don't get to spend enough time with all my children," Cannon said during a December 2022 episode of The Checkup with Dr. Agus on Paramount+. "One 'cause I'm constantly working and two because I'm just spread thin."

A former security staffer for Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., has filed a lawsuit alleging a disturbing incident that took place at the rapper's residence in Hidden Hills, Calif., two years ago.

Carlos Christian, the plaintiff, detailed in a seven-page complaint obtained by Rolling Stone, claims that Lil Wayne threatened him with a semiautomatic rifle and physically assaulted him. According to Christian, the rapper pointed the firearm directly at him in a threatening manner and proceeded to punch him in the ear while brandishing the weapon, causing severe emotional distress.

The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, highlights Christian's need for mental health treatment due to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) resulting directly from this traumatic incident. Christian is seeking compensatory and punitive damages for medical expenses, lost wages, and the impact on his earning capacity.

Lil Wayne or his spokesperson is yet to respond to the news. However, the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department previously confirmed investigating a "verbal altercation" involving a security staffer and an adult male allegedly brandishing a firearm at the Hidden Hills address in December 2021. While not explicitly naming Lil Wayne, the statement was in response to inquiries specifically mentioning the rapper.

According to TMZ, anonymous law enforcement sources indicated that the dispute arose from Lil Wayne accusing the security guard of taking and leaking photos to the media. However, sources close to the rapper denied the incident and refuted claims of Lil Wayne owning a firearm.

Lil Wayne has a history entangled with legal issues related to firearms. He previously pleaded guilty to criminal gun possession in New York and faced another gun charge after authorities found a gold-plated pistol during a search of his Gulfstream jet in 2019. He pleaded guilty in December 2020 and received a presidential pardon from Donald Trump while awaiting sentencing in the federal case.

Han So Hee, renowned for her role in the hit series The World of the Married, recently took her fans by surprise as she joined an open chat room on KakaoTalk.&nbsp;During the interaction, Han So Hee addressed persistent plastic surgery rumours. Speculations surrounding her nose led to discussions about a possible rhinoplasty, which she clarified during the conversation.

Dispelling the rumours, Han So Hee attributed changes in her nose to a surgery she underwent for rhinitis, a medical condition affecting the nasal passages. She expressed concern over the persistent swelling resulting from the surgery, explaining, "I'm worried because the swelling from the inferior turbinate reduction surgery is not going away. Guys, I swear, I didn't put silicon in my nose."

The actor candidly detailed how the surgery was aimed at correcting her nasal structure due to rhinitis-induced deformities. She emphasised&nbsp;that her altered appearance was a result of medical intervention rather than cosmetic enhancement. She even humorously referred to her nose as resembling the character Squidward from SpongeBob SquarePants&nbsp;due to her ongoing issue with rhinitis.

In a recent ruling by the Illinois Appellate Court, actor Jussie Smollett's appeals against disorderly conduct convictions were rejected, marking a continuation of the legal saga stemming from allegations of staging a hate crime against himself.

The case dates back to 2019 when Smollett, known for his role in Empire, reported a racially charged and homophobic attack orchestrated by two masked individuals. However, the investigation pivoted, leading to accusations against Smollett himself for fabricating the incident and misleading law enforcement.

Despite a challenge on various legal grounds, including the role of a special prosecutor and jury selection, the court upheld the convictions in a 2-1 opinion, highlighting Smollett's orchestration of the purported attack.

Prosecutors asserted that Smollett had paid two acquaintances from the Empire&nbsp;set to stage the assault, instructing them on slurs to use and invoking Donald Trump's campaign slogan during the incident. Consequently, a jury found Smollett guilty of five felony counts of disorderly conduct for falsifying information to the police.

Part of Smollett's sentence included a 150-day jail term, of which he has served only six days while awaiting the appeal process.

In response to the ruling, Smollett's legal team, citing concerns about a biased system, announced intentions to escalate the case to the state's Supreme Court. They highlighted alleged unfair treatment and the claim that Smollett had already fulfilled community service as part of a prior agreement with prosecutors.

One dissenting opinion, articulated by Appellate Justice Freddrenna Lyle, criticised the appointment of a special prosecutor and questioned the fairness of charging Smollett after his earlier community service agreement.

Special prosecutor Dan Webb's investigation into the dropped charges found significant irregularities within the state's attorney office, justifying the reinstatement of charges against Smollett.

The majority opinion, represented by Justices David Navarro and Mary Ellen Coghlan, clarified that Smollett was not shielded from further prosecution based on the previous agreement and community service, rejecting assertions of immunity from fresh charges.

The case's complexities continue to draw attention due to Smollett's claims of being a target in a system marred by politics and racial bias, setting the stage for potential further legal battles as the matter unfolds.

Illinois appeals court upholds Jussie Smollett’s disorderly conduct convictions and jail sentence

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the weapons supervisor involved in the tragic shooting incident on the set of Rust&nbsp;that resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins, recently&nbsp;pled not guilty to a charge of carrying a gun into a Santa Fe bar in a separate case.

Originally scheduled for an arraignment next week, Gutierrez-Reed's legal team opted to waive her appearance, according to a state courts spokesperson. The move was confirmed on Friday, prompting queries seeking comment from her attorneys, which remained unanswered at the time of reporting.

The recent firearm charge against Gutierrez-Reed dates back to an incident preceding her role as the armourer on the ill-fated movie&nbsp;Rust. Court records suggest a witness reported her carrying a firearm upon entering a downtown Santa Fe bar.

Amidst these legal battles, Gutierrez-Reed also faces charges of involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering relating to the tragic shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins during a rehearsal on the Rust&nbsp;set in October 2021.

In preparation for the upcoming trial, special prosecutors have issued subpoenas, targeting documents from Rust&nbsp;producers and seeking any audio and video recordings held by a Los Angeles film production company, particularly those involving Alec Baldwin on set or discussing the film.

Legal analysts have speculated on the potential use of materials uncovered in Gutierrez-Reed's case should a grand jury indict Baldwin. While prosecutors have expressed intent to present evidence against Baldwin regarding the fatal shooting on set, the timeline for this process remains unclear. Grand jury proceedings operate with secrecy, devoid of public access, as defence counsel presents evidence without immediate vetting.

The unfolding legal complexities continue to shadow the aftermath of the tragic incident, leaving questions unanswered and legal avenues yet to be fully navigated. The intertwined nature of these cases further underscores the complexities surrounding accountability and responsibility in film production safety.

Film set armourer in Baldwin shooting case pleads not guilty to unrelated gun charge

Iconic singer and Grammy winner Cher,&nbsp;77, has not only impressed audiences with her timeless hits but also with her quirky and fun nature. In a recent episode of Amelia Dimoldenberg's YouTube series, Chicken Shop Date, the pop diva shared a nugget of wisdom for women everywhere. She suggested, "Go out with a younger man."

Known for her romantic involvements with younger partners like Val Kilmer, Tom Cruise, and Rob Camilletti in the '80s, Cher's dating advice stems from her own experiences. Since she feels that older men are not compatible with her, she has found love and companionship in the arms of Alexander "A.E." Edwards, a 37-year-old music executive.

Recalling her initial reservations about texting and falling for a younger man, Cher admitted breaking her own rules by becoming enamoured with Edwards. Their relationship began after meeting at a Paris Fashion Week event and continued to blossom despite her preconceived notions about age gaps and digital romance.

Speaking candidly about her surprising affection for Edwards, Cher confessed, "I told my friends, don't fall in love with a younger man, we're too old. And don't fall in love by text. There goes that theory."

Despite her earlier apprehensions, Cher has found joy and companionship in her relationship with Edwards, emphasising that age is no barrier to love. "He makes me laugh, and we have fun. What I learned is that it's never too late," she expressed.

Their relationship began after meeting at a Paris Fashion Week event and continued to blossom despite her preconceived notions about age gaps and digital romance. Speaking candidly about her surprising affection for Edwards, Cher confessed, "I told my friends, don't fall in love with a younger man, we're too old. And don't fall in love by text. There goes that theory." Despite her earlier apprehensions, Cher has found joy and companionship in her relationship with Edwards, emphasising that age is no barrier to love. "He makes me laugh, and we have fun. What I learned is that it's never too late," she expressed.

Her unconventional love story with Edwards challenges societal norms, showcasing that love transcends age and expectations. Cher's candid advice and personal journey serve as a reminder that when it comes to matters of the heart, age is merely a number.

In an ongoing legal case against actor Jamie Foxx, the plaintiff referred to as "Jane Doe," has filed an affidavit in the New York Supreme Court requesting to retain anonymity in the public eye. Citing the sensitive nature of the matter and the potential for further emotional trauma, the accuser emphasised the significant shock, shame, and embarrassment already experienced due to the alleged sexual assault.

In the affidavit filed on Tuesday, "Jane Doe" expressed, "I do not desire to publicly disclose my identity as a victim of sexual assault because this matter is highly sensitive, and I have already experienced significant shock, shame, and embarrassment due to the mental impact of the assault, and I fear retaliation by others in the community."

The plaintiff also highlighted the emotional toll of coming forward, stating, "It was very difficult for me to come forward and talk about the events that occurred." Describing the aftermath of the alleged assault, the accuser detailed experiencing depression, anxiety, lack of sleep, and distress. The fear of further emotional trauma from a public disclosure was expressed as a primary concern.

Jamie Foxx, through a spokesperson, vehemently denied the allegations, asserting that the "alleged incident never happened." The statement referenced a previous lawsuit filed in 2020 in Brooklyn, which was dismissed shortly after filing. Foxx's camp insisted that the claims in the current case were not any more viable than they were in the past and expressed confidence in their eventual dismissal.

"In 2020, this individual filed a nearly identical lawsuit in Brooklyn. That case was dismissed shortly thereafter. The claims are no more viable today than they were then. We are confident they will be dismissed again," the statement read.

Foxx's spokesperson further stated, "And once they are, Mr. Foxx intends to pursue a claim for malicious prosecution against this person and her attorneys for re-filing this frivolous action."

The complaint against Foxx was lodged in the New York Supreme Court last Wednesday, detailing an alleged incident dating back to August 2015 at Catch NYC's rooftop bar and lounge. The accuser claimed that Foxx groped and sexually assaulted her during this time.

The alleged victim is seeking damages for pain and suffering, economic loss, as well as punitive damages in an amount that exceeds the jurisdiction of all lower courts.

In a recent legal victory, Kelly Clarkson secured a ruling against her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock, entitling her to over $2.6 million in commissions he received as her manager for procuring business deals, deemed a breach of California’s Talent Agencies Act (TAA).

The Nov. 21 decision by California’s labour commissioner, Lilia Garcia-Brower, outlined that Blackstock orchestrated various deals for Clarkson, notably securing her role as a judge on The Voice, a responsibility that should have been undertaken by her licensed talent agents at Creative Artists Agency (CAA).

The ruling established Blackstock's violation of the TAA, which prohibits anyone without a talent agent's license from securing work for artists. Blackstock has been mandated to reimburse commissions from four specific deals: $1,983,155.70 for The Voice role, $208,125 for promoting Norweigan Cruise Lines, $450,000 for a Wayfair agreement, and $93.30 for hosting the Billboard Music Awards across 2018-2020.

Crucially, the commissioner dismissed Clarkson's claim for additional commission repayment from Blackstock's involvement in procuring The Kelly Clarkson Show. The ruling clarified that his collaboration in that deal, done with CAA's direction, did not contravene the law as it aligned with TAA stipulations, involving strategising within the agency's framework.

Clarkson and Blackstock's marriage of seven years ended in a divorce filing by the singer in June 2020. The final settlement, reached two years later, saw Clarkson agreeing to provide Blackstock with monthly child support of $45,601 for their two children and a one-time payment exceeding $1.3 million.

Neither party's legal representatives have issued immediate comments regarding the ruling.

BTS’ V to join special counter-terrorism unit for military service: Report

Sam Bahadur review:&nbsp;It is already an established fact that Vicky Kaushal is one of the most talented actors in Indian cinema at present. Time and again, Vicky has proved mettle in some of the most complex roles written in Bollywood. In his latest - Sam Bahadur- helmed by Meghna Gulzar- he takes on the role of war hero Sam Maneckshaw, the first field marshal of India and a man who played important roles in 1962 and 1971 wars against Pakistan. Kaushal transforms himself both physically and with his mannerisms to bring out the charm and colour that Maneckshaw was known for effectively. But while Vicky Kaushal gives all his to make Sam Bahadur an earnest film, it is the uninspiring writing that takes away half the fun of the film&nbsp;

A lot of material is available on the Internet of Manekshaw. He was a colourful man, who with his wit, charm, presence of mind and sense of justice became one of the greatest soldiers that India has ever had. Sam Bahadur, written by Bhavani Iyer, Shantanu Srivastav and Meghana Gulzar touches upon a lot of crucial events in history that helped shape Manekshaws personality. The film starts from the time Sam was a lieutenant in the British army in pre-independent India and shows how from an early age he was not always a stickler for rules.&nbsp;

&nbsp;The film also captures Manekshaw's decision to stay back in India post-partition and his love for the country. Sam Bahadur then goes on to highlight some important events of Sam Maneckshaw's life. From his early days as a cadet to his rising up the ranks in Lahore, his friendship with General Yahya Khan before partition, his being framed for anti-nationalism by a jealous colleague, his various transfers to different places and his becoming the Army chief. And when the writers feel that the story needs a bit of sprucing, they punctuate it with some scenes of his family life - him meeting his future wife (Sanya Malhotra), them becoming a family and his wife perpetually being worried about his well-being.

While the events and anecdotes are all there, the writing never elevates the narrative which poses as the major backdraw of Sam Bahadur.

<h2>What does not work</h2>

The writing is non-linear and almost highlights the events in Sam Maneckshaw's life like bullet points. In that sense, it lacks the thrills of a war movie. The first half, especially, is a terrible&nbsp;drab and almost like a boring history lesson. Those who have studied and loved history may find some of the portions of the film interesting. It does show the architects of modern India come together to build India as a nation. From Nehru, Sardar Patel, VK Krishna Menon and eventually Indira Gandhi. And how Maneckshaw- with changing leadership at the centre- proved to be an able commander and advisor to the leaders over the years. But not everyone has a palate for bookish history lessons no matter who is playing the iconic leaders on screen and so it is the responsibility of the writers to make the narrative engaging. Unfortunately, Sam Bahadur falters ever so often. This, despite the fact that Kaushal looms large on screen with his exceptional performance.

<h2>The performances</h2>

Kaushal is great. He has done biopics earlier. In one he had a supporting role, (Sanju) yet managed to steal the show. In another, as the protagonist ( Sardar Udham) he delivered a spellbinding act. In Sam Bahadur too, Kaushal transforms into the legendary war hero and delivers an earnest performance. But it is only he&nbsp;who seems to do his job well. Fatima Sana Sheikh plays former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and shares a considerable screen space with Kaushal. The scenes featuring Maneckshaw- and Gandhi should have ideally been crackling. Both&nbsp;strong-headed leaders who took the risk of fighting a war that was never theirs to begin with and yet emerged victorious but Fatima never gets the desired lines, neither is she able to bring out the spark of Mrs Gandhi's personality well. Instead, she seems to be playing a very subdued version of a feisty lady.

The other leading lady Sanya Malhotra also gets very limited screen time and so is unable to leave a lasting impact. Sure she is convincing in her role as the wife of the Army veteran, but there is little scope for her to do anything extraordinary on screen. Similarly, Mohammed Zeeshan Ayub, as Yahya Khan also gets very limited scope to really perform to his utmost potential.

<h2>Celebrating the Indian army</h2>

The film's pace picks up in the second half when the narration shifts focus to the 1971 war where India helped East Pakistan to become Bangladesh. Moments where Sam went to motivate his soldiers at the eastern front, a song to celebrate and showcase the different units that make the mighty Indian army truly stand out are&nbsp;special. The film also uses a lot of real-life footage from that time to give it a more authentic feel.

Sam Bahadur is well intended. It has Vicky Kaushal delivering an earnest performance but drab writing makes the film a boring history lesson that's not meant for everyone.

Sam Bahadur review: Vicky Kaushal shines in a boring war film

Mansoor Ali Khan, the actor whose derogatory comments about co-star Trisha sparked a firestorm, is now reportedly pursuing legal action against her. Following his controversial remarks, which drew widespread condemnation for their sexist nature, Khan initially extended an apology to Trisha, but the situation has since taken a sharp turn.

In a conversation exclusive to IndiaToday.in, Khan revealed his intent to file a defamation case against Trisha, citing his dissatisfaction with the unfolding events. "We are doing it (filing defamation case) today. We have prepared all the documents. (My) lawyer will share all other information later today at 4’o clock. He will meet the press," Khan stated firmly.

The actor's initial apology, perceived by many as an attempt at reconciliation, now seems irrelevant to him. "It is the biggest joke," Khan stated dismissively, referring to his prior apology in the wake of the controversy.

Trisha, on the other hand, responded to the situation with a cryptic social media post, stating, "To err is human, to forgive is divine," while avoiding direct mention of Khan's name. Her subtle yet composed reaction seems to underscore her stance amidst this legal escalation.

The fallout from Khan's remarks hasn't been limited to social media exchanges and apologies. The Chennai police have taken action, filing a case against him under Section 354 A (sexual harassment) and Section 509 (word, gesture, or act intended to outrage the modesty of a woman).

The controversy began when Khan made derogatory comments about Trisha during a press conference, provoking widespread backlash from both the public and industry figures.

Answering the journo's question, Mansoor had said, "They are not giving me villain roles. They don't let me rape! I had intended to speak about this at Leo (success meet), but I did not as I felt some might turn it into a controversy. I was very eager when I heard I'd be acting with Trisha."

His remarks were condemned as insensitive and inappropriate, both by netizens and the film fraternity.

In a recent conversation with Kylie Jenner, Hunger Games star Jennifer Lawrence has denied all plastic surgery rumours, attributing her timeless appearance to makeup artistry and the natural ageing process. The actress strongly denies undergoing facial procedures, setting the record straight amidst swirling speculations.

Lawrence acknowledges the transformative power of makeup, especially under the guidance of makeup artist Hung Vanngo. Refuting claims of eye surgery, she explains, "I call him a plastic surgeon because everybody is convinced that I had eye surgery."

The plastic surgery rumours gained momentum following Lawrence's appearance at the Dior Fashion Show, where sharp-eyed netizens noted a significant change in her looks.
