The estate of Sinead O’Connor on Monday asked Donald Trump not to play her music at campaign rallies, saying the late singer considered the former president a “biblical devil.”

Trump has played O’Connor’s biggest hit, “Nothing Compares 2 U,” at events as he campaigns for the Republican presidential nomination.

In a joint statement, O’Connor’s estate and her record label, Chrysalis, demanded Trump “desist from using her music immediately.”

It said the Irish singer, who died last year aged 56, “lived by a fierce moral code defined by honesty, kindness, fairness and decency towards her fellow human beings.”

“It was with outrage therefore that we learned that Donald Trump has been using her iconic performance of Nothing Compares 2 U at his political rallies,” the statement said.

“It is no exaggeration to say that Sinead would have been disgusted, hurt and insulted to have her work misrepresented in this way by someone who she herself referred to as a ‘biblical devil.’ As the guardians of her legacy, we demand that Donald Trump and his associates desist from using her music immediately.”

Fiery and outspoken, O’Connor was a critic of the Roman Catholic Church well before allegations of sexual abuse were widely reported, and was open about her mental health struggles.

She was found unresponsive at her London home in July and pronounced dead at the scene. A coroner ruled that she died of natural causes.

O’Connor joins a growing list of artists who have objected to Trump using their songs, including Rihanna, Neil Young, Linkin Park, the late Tom Petty and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler.

Sinead O’Connor’s estate asks Donald Trump to stop playing her music at rallies

Whenever Madonna sings the 1980s hit “La Isla Bonita” on her concert tour, moving images of swirling, sunset-tinted clouds play on the giant arena screens behind her. To get that ethereal look, the pop legend embraced a still-uncharted branch of generative artificial intelligence – the text-to-video tool. Type some words — say, “surreal cloud sunset” or “waterfall in the jungle at dawn” — and an instant video is made.

Following in the footsteps of AI chatbots and still image-generators, some AI video enthusiasts say the emerging technology could one day upend entertainment, enabling you to choose your own movie with customizable storylines and endings. But there’s a long way to go before they can do that and plenty of ethical pitfalls on the way.

For early adopters like Madonna, who’s long pushed art’s boundaries, it was more of an experiment. She nixed an earlier version of “La Isla Bonita” concert visuals that used more conventional computer graphics to evoke a tropical mood.

“We tried CGI. It looked pretty bland and cheesy and she didn’t like it,” said Sasha Kasiuha, content director for Madonna’s Celebration Tour that continues through late April. “And then we decided to try AI.”

ChatGPT-maker OpenAI gave a glimpse of what sophisticated text-to-video technology might look like when the company recently showed off Sora, a new tool that’s not yet publicly available. Madonna’s team tried a different product from New York-based startup Runway, which helped pioneer the technology by releasing its first public text-to-video model last March. The company released a more advanced “Gen-2" version in June.

Runway CEO Cristóbal Valenzuela said while some see these tools as a “magical device that you type a word and somehow it conjures exactly what you had in your head,” the most effective approaches are by creative professionals looking for an upgrade to the decades-old digital editing software they’re already using. He said Runway can’t yet make a full-length documentary. But it could help fill in some background video, or b-roll — the supporting shots and scenes that help tell the story.

“That saves you perhaps like a week of work,” Valenzuela said. “The common thread of a lot of use cases is people use it as a way of augmenting or speeding up something they could have done before.”

Runway’s target customers are “large streaming companies, production companies, post-production companies, visual effects companies, marketing teams, and advertising companies. A lot of folks that make content for a living,” Valenzuela said.

Dangers await. Without effective safeguards, AI video generators could threaten democracies with convincing “deepfake” videos of things that never happened, or — as is already the case with AI image generators — flood the internet with fake pornographic scenes depicting what appear to be real people with recognizable faces. Under pressure from regulators, major tech companies have promised to watermark AI-generated outputs to help identify what’s real.

There also are copyright disputes brewing about the video and image collections the AI systems are being trained upon (neither Runway nor OpenAI discloses its data sources) and to what extent they are unfairly replicating trademarked works. And there are fears that, at some point, video-making machines could replace human jobs and artistry.

For now, the longest AI-generated video clips are still measured in seconds and can feature jerky movements and telltale glitches such as distorted hands and fingers. Fixing that is “just a question of more data and more training,” and the computing power on which that training depends, said Alexander Waibel, a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University who’s been researching AI since the 1970s.

“Now I can say, ‘Make me a video of a rabbit dressed as Napoleon walking through New York City,’” Waibel said. “It knows what New York City looks like, what a rabbit looks like, what Napoleon looks like.”

Which is impressive, he said, but still far from crafting a compelling storyline.

Before it released its first-generation model last year, Runway’s claim to AI fame was as a co-developer of the image-generator Stable Diffusion. Another company, London-based Stability AI, has since taken over Stable Diffusion’s development.

The underlying “diffusion model” technology behind most leading AI generators of images and video works by mapping noise, or random data, onto images, effectively destroying an original image and then predicting what a new one should look like. It borrows an idea from physics that can be used to describe, for instance, how gas diffuses outward.

“What diffusion models do is they reverse that process,” said Phillip Isola, an associate professor of computer science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “They kind of take the randomness and they congeal it back into the volume. That’s the way of going from randomness to content. And that’s how you can make random videos.”

Generating video is more complicated than still images because it needs to take into account temporal dynamics, or how elements within the video change over time and across sequences of frames, said Daniela Rus, another MIT professor who directs its Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory.

Rus said the computing resources required are “significantly higher than for still image generation” because “it involves processing and generating multiple frames for each second of video.”

That’s not stopping some well-heeled tech companies from trying to keep outdoing each other in showing off higher-quality AI video generation at longer durations. Requiring written descriptions to make an image was just the start. Google recently demonstrated a new project called Genie that can be prompted to transform a photograph or even a sketch into “an endless variety” of explorable video game worlds.

In the near term, AI-generated videos will likely show up in marketing and educational content, providing a cheaper alternative to producing original footage or obtaining stock videos, said Aditi Singh, a researcher at Cleveland State University who has surveyed the text-to-video market.

When Madonna first talked to her team about AI, the “main intention wasn’t, ’Oh, look, it’s an AI video,’” said Kasiuha, the creative director.

“She asked me, ‘Can you just use one of those AI tools to make the picture more crisp, to make sure it looks current and looks high resolution?’” Kasiuha said. “She loves it when you bring in new technology and new kinds of visual elements.”

Longer AI-generated movies are already being made. Runway hosts an annual AI film festival to showcase such works. But whether that’s what human audiences will choose to watch remains to be seen.

“I still believe in humans,” said Waibel, the CMU professor. ”I still believe that it will end up being a symbiosis where you get some AI proposing something and a human improves or guides it. Or the humans will do it and the AI will fix it up.”

Madonna is among the early adopters of AI’s next wave

The last two weeks of July were all about finding the cutest pink outfits and flocking cinema halls with our Kens to watch Margot Robbie step into the shoes of our beloved Barbie and live our childhood all over again. The craze around the film is hard to describe in words, but the numbers it did at the box office can certainly give an idea of how big of a cultural phenomenon the film Barbie became in the year 2023. For those unaware,&nbsp;Barbie has grossed $1.38 billion globally, making it the biggest film of 2023. It's also the 14th highest-grossing movie of all time.

Before we talk about the Greta Gerwig film, let's first shed some light on the subject of the movie, which totally&nbsp;deserves a mention.&nbsp;

In the realm of toys, one name has stood the test of time and captivated the hearts of children worldwide, and that's none other than the&nbsp;Barbie dolls. For over six decades, this iconic doll has evolved from a mere plaything into a global cultural phenomenon, transcending borders and leaving an indelible mark on generations.

Introduced by Mattel in 1959, Barbie has become more than just a toy; she represents an enduring symbol of imagination, empowerment, and versatility. Her ability to adapt to changing times and cultural shifts has been a key factor in her sustained popularity.

One of the reasons behind Barbie's global appeal is her adaptability in embracing diverse themes and occupations. From a pioneering astronaut to a compassionate doctor, Barbie has mirrored evolving societal norms, providing children with a myriad of role models and fostering a sense of inclusivity.

The fashion-forward nature of Barbie has also played a pivotal role in her cultural significance. Over the years, she has been a trendsetter, showcasing an extensive wardrobe, accessories, and hairstyles.&nbsp;

Beyond the toy aisle, Barbie has successfully ventured into various forms of media, including movies, TV shows, and video games. Collaborations with popular franchises and characters have not only expanded Barbie's reach but have also solidified her status as a cultural icon with a presence beyond the playroom.

<h2>The Barbie Movie Craze</h2>

In an era where toys come and go, Barbie's resilience is noteworthy. So when I heard that a movie was being made on Barbie, I was counting the days and eagerly waiting for the release date. When the day finally came, i.e. July 21, 2023,&nbsp;I was blown away by what I saw on the screen. The movie did not just explore innovative storytelling, it also challenged traditional norms and addressed relevant societal themes. Hence, I feel&nbsp;it should stand out in the eyes of the Academy.

The film successfully resonated&nbsp;with diverse audiences and contributed to discussions around representation, feminism, and societal expectations.&nbsp;Outstanding cinematography, production design, costume design, and other technical aspects contributed to the&nbsp;film's overall quality and appeal.&nbsp;

Greta Gerwig's reputation for bringing depth to storytelling elevated the Barbie narrative beyond the expectations associated with the character.&nbsp;Her ability to craft compelling narratives, develop complex characters, and help actors deliver outstanding performances contributed to the film's artistic merit, making it worthy of an Oscar nomination.

The film also had a substantial impact on popular culture. Remember, how it triggered the 'Barbiecore' trend and everyone, including celebrities, influencers and fashion enthusiasts, revamped their wardrobes to add every shade of pink to their collection. Not just clothes, but even makeup trends became largely influenced by Barbie dolls. Margot Robbie deserves credit for it all. The actress made sure she recreated several of Barbie's iconic looks for red carpet appearances, award shows and noteworthy events. She grabbed headlines throughout the year for her stunning odes to the iconic doll.&nbsp;

From the signature black and white swimsuit and peep toe stiletto mules worn by the first Barbie doll in 1959 to the glamorous glittering black cocktail sheath with matching opera gloves worn by the “Solo in the Spotlight” doll that debuted in 1960, Robbie, along with her stylist, found a way to not only channel, but also playfully reinterpret Barbie’s most iconic looks through high fashion collaborations with brands like Schiaparelli, Moschino, and Vivienne Westwood.

We also have to credit Mattel and Warner Bros. for partnering with several brands including Crocs, Fossil, Boohoo, Zara, Bloomingdales and Pinkberry among others. The fashion and makeup collaborations were&nbsp;expected. But Barbie pasta? Barbie burger?&nbsp;Barbie XBox? If that wasn't all, Barbie and Ken even popped up on the Bumble dating app. The scale of the film's marketing campaign was just unprecedented and it certainly reflected in the massive business the film did at the global BO.

<h2 tabindex="-1">Barbie's Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie Snubbed by Oscars</h2>

Despite being nominated for Best Picture, the Academy has faced criticism for snubbing Greta Gerwig as director and Margot Robbie in the Best Actress category. The Associated Press labelled Gerwig's exclusion from the Best Director category at the Oscars as "one of the biggest shocks in recent memory." Some fans directed their frustration towards Ken. USA Today highlighted a comment from a user on X, noting that Ryan Gosling's nomination for Best Supporting Actor while Gerwig and Robbie were overlooked "kind of proves the point of the movie," emphasising the persistence of the patriarchy.&nbsp;

The film is not only entertaining but also a clever and subversive cultural commentary, which Barbie fans believe that Oscar voters failed to recognise. Several netizens have argued that the Academy&nbsp;seemed unable or unwilling to see beyond the surface of the film to appreciate its imaginative and substantive qualities and the meticulous direction of Gerwig.

<h2>8 Oscar Nominations for Barbie</h2>

The film Barbie received eight Oscar nominations, including&nbsp;best picture, America Ferrera for supporting actress, Ryan Gosling for supporting actor, Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach for adapted screenplay, “I'm Just Ken” and “What Was I Made For?” for original song, as well as costume design and production design.

Now as we wait for the Academy to announce the winner of the Best Picture category, let's take a moment to appreciate this cinematic excellence we all will remember for years and decades to come.&nbsp;

The Oscars will air on ABC, starting at 7 pm ET on March 10.

Oscar Awards 2024 Best Picture Nominee: Here’s how Greta Gerwig’s Barbie became a global cultural phenomenon

Taylor Swift, known for pouring her heart into her music, has reportedly found inspiration in her romance with Travis Kelce, the tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs. According to a US Weekly report, Swift has written at least two songs about their love story.

A source revealed to the outlet that the songs are about falling in love with Kelce and their journey together.&nbsp;

“They have to do with their love story and falling in love with him,” the source told the outlet.

Swift is yet to make official announcements about the songs. Swifties can expect more info after she concludes the Eras Tour.

The couple's relationship reached a new milestone when Kelce and his team&nbsp;the Kansas City Chiefs&nbsp;won the Super Bowl for the second consecutive time in February at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

Swift was present at the game, cheering Kelce on from a private box alongside her family, his family, and some of her closest friends. After the victory, Swift joined Kelce on the field, where he expressed his gratitude for her support, saying, "Thank you for coming, baby. Thank you for your support. Thank you for making it halfway across the world. You’re the best, baby."

Swift's gesture of support didn't go unnoticed by Kelce as the singer flew from Japan to Las Vegas to attend the Super Bowl. Following the game, Swift continued her tour in Australia, where Kelce surprised her by attending one of her shows in Sydney. He sat in the VIP area with Swift's father, Scott, and even handed out guitar picks with Swift's logo.

Taylor Swift's penchant for penning songs about her love life is well-documented, with each relationship often serving as inspiration for her music.

In a sneak peek for the upcoming season of Celebrity Big Brother UK, Gary Goldsmith, the uncle of&nbsp;Princess of Wales, reminisced about the first time he met Prince William. The 58-year-old London businessman shared that during their first encounter, Kate was busy cooking, and Prince William casually offered him a cup of tea.&nbsp;

“She is simply perfect,” Goldsmith, 58, said of Kate in the short clip. “The first time I met William, Catherine was cooking and William said: ‘Hi, do you want a cup of tea?’”

Goldsmith described the moment as "very normal" with a lighthearted laugh.

He also spoke about his reputation as a "bad boy," attributing it to his love for mischief and winding people up. He humorously admitted to being a nightmare to live with and jokingly mentioned his four marriages.

“I often read that people think I’m a bit of a bad boy,” he said. “It’d be lovely to put the record straight, but winding people up is probably my favourite hobby. Every part of me is just riddled with mischief and danger.”

“I’m an absolute nightmare to live with,” he joked, adding, “There’s a reason why I’ve had four wives.”

Known for his candid opinions, Goldsmith had previously criticised The Crown's portrayal of his sister and her family, calling parts of the Netflix show "ridiculous and fantastical."&nbsp;

“I really, really enjoyed the first couple of episodes and the first series of The Crown, but it seems to just drift into this fantasy world,” Goldsmith said on the podcast The Crown: Fact or Fiction in January. "There's so many parts of it that I don't agree with, and I think the narrative and for trying to get headlines and view an audience. So once it started becoming ridiculous and fantastical, it was very difficult to watch, so I stopped.”

In 2017, he faced legal troubles after assaulting his fourth and current wife, Julie-Ann, during an argument. He pleaded guilty, was fined £5,000 (approximately $6,345), and received a 12-month community order with 20 sessions of rehabilitation.

Get ready for a revival of sun-soaked drama as the iconic series Baywatch is set to make a return to television. The highly successful lifeguard drama, which initially ran for 11 seasons from 1989 to 1999, is gearing up for a reboot that will air on Fox in the US.

The original Baywatch&nbsp;became a global phenomenon, attracting over one billion viewers weekly and securing its place as one of the most-watched shows in the late '80s and '90s. The new iteration, helmed by showrunner Lara Olsen who is known for her work on the 90210 reboot and Netflix's Spinning Out, promises to recapture the essence of the original with daring ocean rescues, iconic red bathing suits, and the picturesque backdrop of Los Angeles beaches.

The official description reads, "Daring ocean rescues, pristine beaches, and iconic red bathing suits are back, along with a whole new generation of Baywatch lifeguards, who navigate complicated, messy personal lives in this action-packed reboot that demonstrates there’s the family you’re born into and the family you find."

Cole Sprouse, the 31-year-old actor known for his role in Riverdale, turned heads at Balenciaga's Paris Fashion Week show with his daring fashion choice. Sprouse arrived at the show wearing a dramatically oversized brown suit, complete with exaggerated shoulder pads and loose-fitting plaid pants. Underneath the jacket, he donned a tan sheer turtleneck shirt, adding an edgy flair to his ensemble.

The former child star, who rose to fame alongside his twin brother Dylan Sprouse in Disney's The Suite Life of Zack &amp; Cody, has certainly evolved his sense of style over the years. The actor loves to wear both tailored suits and baggy outfits, depending on the occasion and his mood. And, no matter what he chooses to wear, he carries it with style.

The runway show, a spectacle of avant-garde designs and wry humour, unfolded with a captivating display of garments that challenged conventional notions of fashion. Opening the show was a beaded, animal-print gown worn by a gum-snapping model, exuding an aura of nonchalant coolness.

Gvasalia's vision for the fall collection transcended the superficiality often associated with fashion trends. In a bold move, he distributed a typed, full-page inventory of his creations to each seat, highlighting the depth and breadth of his artistic exploration.

In honour of his 30th birthday, Madame Tussauds has unveiled a new wax figure of pop star Justin Bieber. The life-size statue, now on display at the museum's Hollywood, California, location, includes several real-life details to match the musician, including his neck tattoos and the same puffer jacket and outfit he wore in his 2021 music video for "Peaches."

Madame Tussauds also held a birthday party for Bieber and invited his fans to stop by for treats and selfies. This new wax figure is just one of many that Madame Tussauds has created as a tribute to Bieber over the years. According to the museum's website, there have been wax figures modelled after the pop star in its museums worldwide, including Las Vegas, New York, and London. Bieber's first wax figure was unveiled in 2011. It featured his then-signature floppy hair and an iconic outfit. The figure took nearly four months to complete, according to Billboard.

"30!!!!!!!????!!????!!!! that was fast," Hailey, 27, wrote in the caption. "Words could never truly describe the beauty of who you are. Happy Birthday to you… love of my life, for life." Last month, Justin performed his first solo set in more than a year at Drake's History Club in Toronto. He performed several of his hit tracks, including "Snooze," "Eenie Meenie," "Baby," "Peaches," "Hold On," and "Ghost."

Madame Tussauds unveils new Justin Bieber wax figure to mark his 30th birthday

Activists from the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) recently tried to disrupt&nbsp;Victoria Beckham's fashion show during Paris Fashion Week. The demonstrators took to the runway during&nbsp;the event and joined Beckham's models to highlight their&nbsp;T-shirts, adorned with the message "Animals aren't fabric". They were also holding signs that read "Viva vegan leather."

While Beckham's fashion brand has a policy against using fur or exotic skins, PETA's protest targeted her use of leather in her designs.

Mimi Bekhechi, PETA's European president, was quoted by the BBC saying, "No garment or accessory is worth violently slaughtering and skinning a sensitive and intelligent animal. We are urging Victoria Beckham to turn instead to the ethical and eco-friendly innovations available today, such as high-end leather made from apples, grapes, pineapples, mushrooms, and more."

Despite the disruption, Beckham appeared unfazed, closing the show with a confident stride despite using crutches and wearing a black protective boot on her left foot due to an injury sustained at the gym.

She was supported at the event by her family, including her husband David Beckham, who was recently the subject of a Netflix documentary, and former Brazilian international footballer Ronaldo, who played alongside David Beckham at Real Madrid.

PETA's protest at Beckham's show is part of a series of demonstrations they have staged this fashion season, with previous protests taking place in New York, London, and Milan. The activists aim to raise awareness about animal cruelty in the fashion industry and advocate for more sustainable and cruelty-free alternatives.

PETA activists storms Victoria Beckham’s Paris Fashion Week show

Christopher Nolan's $1 billion-grossing Oppenheimer&nbsp;hasn't just lined the pockets of Hollywood studio executives -- it has also brought an unexpected windfall to the secretive community of Los Alamos. 
 
The movie, the clear frontrunner to win best picture at the Oscars on March 10, tells the story of the invention of the atomic bomb.

Much of the action takes place in Los Alamos, a town built around a top-secret lab that was created from scratch in New Mexico at the suggestion of physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer, who had a lifelong passion for the surrounding mountains.

Since the film's release last July, tourists have been flocking to sites like the Oppenheimer House, and Fuller Lodge, where nuclear scientists held parties to celebrate their success in building the bomb.

Visitor numbers leapt by 68 per cent last year, town officials say.

"We started seeing a huge influx" last spring, even before the film hit theatres, said Kathy Anderson, a tour guide for the local historical society, which had to triple the number of daily tours. 
 
"If it does win Oscars, I think we're going to see a lot more interest."

But the success shrouds a complicated relationship that Los Alamos has with its past and with Oppenheimer, who is still widely referred to around town by his affectionate nickname "Oppie."

- 'Very complicated' -

On the one hand, the tourist boom could help raise the $2 million needed to restore the century-old home where the Oppenheimers lived, which is in dire need of repairs.

"Oppenheimer was renowned for his martinis and for being a very accommodating host. A lot of history happened just in these rooms," said Los Alamos National Laboratory historian Nic Lewis.

On the other hand, there is no escaping the destruction caused by the nuclear bombs forged in this town -- where 15,000 scientists and staff still work at the same high-security lab.

As the film shows, Oppenheimer himself became a vocal critic of nuclear proliferation during the Cold War. 
 
Oppenheimer even later confessed, "I am responsible for ruining a beautiful place," according to "American Prometheus," the book on which Nolan's film is based.

"We do recognize here that he was a person, who had flaws, who made mistakes," said Lewis.

"He was very complicated. He was very thoughtful. I think Nolan very accurately depicted that part of Oppenheimer."

Still, Nolan's decision to shoot many scenes in the very Los Alamos buildings where they occurred caused enormous excitement around town.

An ad in the local newspaper called for the lab's actual scientists to appear as extras.

Shane Fogerty, an astrophysicist and Nolan fan, ended up explaining nuclear fusion and the genesis of the Moon to stars Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr between takes.

"Chris (Nolan) would have to remind everyone, 'We're at work, quiet down, please. Let's go to the next take,'" said Fogerty.

It is an anecdote he frequently shares with the growing number of tourists he meets in town these days.

"It is harder to get a reservation at the few restaurants in town," he said.

Los Alamos registers big tourism spike over rising Oppenheimer fame

Alaia Baldwin Aronow, sister of Hailey Bieber and daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin, made headlines on February 24 due to her arrest in Savannah, Ga., after an alleged bar fight. The Savannah Police Department confirmed that Aronow, a model and influencer with a substantial following on Instagram, was charged with simple assault and battery, as well as criminal trespassing, stemming from a physical altercation at Club Elan.

According to reports, security cameras at the bar captured Aronow attempting to use a staff-only bathroom, leading to a confrontation with bar workers. Allegedly, she became violent, pulling one bouncer's hair and kicking another in the groin. Additionally, it is claimed that she threw a tampon at a bartender who came to check on her after she stated she needed to vomit and change her tampon.

Despite being escorted out of the bar, Aronow reportedly called the police, falsely claiming she was ejected for no reason. Initially denying the tampon incident, she later admitted to it, citing self-defence against the bouncers.

Aronow, known for her work with brands like Guess and L'Oréal, has a significant following on social media, where she shares content related to fashion, beauty, and wellness. She married businessman Andrew Aronow in 2017, in a lavish wedding ceremony in New York.

At present, it remains unclear if she has legal representation or what her defence will be in court. Her sister, Hailey Bieber, has not commented on the incident, as of now.

Hailey Bieber’s sister gets arrested after bar fight; charged with battery and criminal trespassing

Prince Harry scored a tactical victory in his battles with British tabloids Friday when government ministers said he could use confidential documents that show payments by the publisher of the Daily Mail to private investigators who allegedly snooped on him and several celebrities.

The Duke of Sussex, Elton John, Elizabeth Hurley and others claim that Associated Newspapers Ltd. hacked their phones or used other unlawful means, such as bugging and other electronic surveillance to spy on them.

Justice Matthew Nicklin in November had rejected the newspapers’ effort to throw out the case, but his ruling also dealt a blow to Harry and the others.

Ledgers showing payments to private eyes that had been leaked to Harry’s legal team from a government inquiry into phone hacking could only be used with the newspapers’ permission or by an order from the judge who oversaw the 2011-12 probe or the government ministers who had ordered the inquiry, Nicklin said.

Associated Newspapers, which firmly denies the allegations and called them preposterous, refused to turn over the documents and opposed the government releasing them.

In a joint statement Friday by the home and culture secretaries — the departments that had ordered the Leveson Inquiry into press standards — said the documents could be used in the court case.

“In our judgment, the public interest in promoting the just, speedy and economic resolution of the proceedings outweighs the countervailing public interests,” the statement said.

Associated Newspapers said it would not comment on the decision.

The development comes as Harry’s flurry of litigation is winding down with trials due in the case against ANL and another case alongside Hugh Grant that makes similar allegations against the publisher of The Sun.

Harry won a big victory in December after a judge found phone hacking at Mirror Group Newspapers was “widespread and habitual.” After winning a judgment in court, he recently settled the remaining allegations for all his legal fees. The total sum wasn’t announced, but he was due to receive an interim payment of 400,000 pounds ($505,000).

Harry, 39, the younger son of King Charles III, has bucked family tradition by going to court in his crusade against the press and was the first senior royal in over a century to enter the witness box when he testified in the Mirror trial.

His luck, so far, in the hacking cases has proven more successful than three cases related to the government’s decision to strip him of his publicly funded protection detail in the U.K. after he quit working as a member of the royal family and moved to the U.S.

A judge ruled Wednesday that the government did not act irrationally or treat him unfairly when it decided to provide security on a case-by-case basis. Harry vowed to appeal.

He recently withdrew a libel case against the Daily Mail over an article that said he tried to hide his efforts to continue receiving government-funded security. He dropped the case after a judge ruled he was more likely to lose at trial, because the publisher could show that statements issued on his behalf were misleading and that the February 2022 article reflected an “honest opinion” and wasn’t libellous.

He could be faced with big legal bills in the cases that he has lost or dropped.

Testimony at trial Monday turned emotional and argumentative as an eyewitness recounted the fatal 2021 shooting of a cinematographer by actor Alec Baldwin during a movie rehearsal and described gun misfires, crew members walking out and a “ludicrous” pace of work.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, who was the armourer for the upcoming Western movie Rust, is fighting charges of involuntary manslaughter and tampering with evidence at a trial that entered its third day of testimony Monday. A trial date was set for Baldwin in July on a single charge of involuntary manslaughter in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. He has pleaded not guilty.

Defence attorneys highlighted Gutierrez-Reed’s unusual disadvantage and vulnerability at the time as a part-time, 24-year-old armourer without trade-union membership on a set where few dared confront Baldwin directly about concerns about safety and related budgeting.

Monday’s testimony veered into the actor’s handling of the revolver that killed Hutchins — including a video of Baldwin twice practising a cross-draw manoeuvre for a camera on Oct. 21, 2021, shortly before the fatal shooting that day. Investigators found no video of the shooting.

The video of Baldwin was accompanied by searing testimony from Ross Addiego, a front-line Rust&nbsp;crew member who helped guide the film’s camera. Addiego said that in the moments after a shot rang out on set, he made eye contact with a wounded Hutchins and tried to calm wounded director Joel Souza.

“The first person I made eye contact with was Halyna, who was clearly injured. In fact, she was starting to go flush and I think holding her right side,” said Addiego, breaking into tears. “I think I yelled out, ‘If you can’t help, get ... out of here, and someone calls 911.’”

Prosecutors guided Addiego through testimony in which he described his anger and frustration with safety procedures on set, including the sight of a storage cart for guns and ammunition that frequently appeared to be unattended and Gutierrez-Reed’s work as an armourer in charge of loading guns with blank and dummy rounds. Investigators found six live rounds on the set of “Rust,” including the one that killed Hutchins.

Addiego noted two gun misfires on set — confirmed as blank rounds without projectiles by workplace safety regulators — and just one safety meeting over the course of about two work weeks when daily meetings are the norm.

He said prior to the fatal shooting he lodged safety complaints with union representatives and the film’s top safety official, assistant director David Halls, who pleaded no contest last year to a charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon and may be called on to testify.

“At times we seemed to be working at ludicrous speeds,” said Addiego, who also testified to the grand jury that indicted Baldwin in January. “We always seemed to be rushed and under the gun.”

In a tense cross-examination, defence attorney Jason Bowles asked Addiego whether he was aware that Gutierrez-Reed had unsuccessfully requested more time to focus on her responsibilities as armourer instead of other prop duties, such as rolling cowboy cigarettes.

“Did you ever stand up to Mr. Baldwin and say, ‘No, we’re not going to move this fast?’” Bowles asked.

“That’s not my job,” Addiego said.

Bowles continued: “With everybody else, grown men, not standing up to Mr. Baldwin, wouldn’t you find that difficult for her also?”

He noted that Addiego has sued Baldwin and Rust Movie Productions and questioned his motives in testifying.

“Are you hoping that you can come in and testify here today and something happens to Ms. Gutierrez-Reed and it will help your lawsuit?” Bowles asked.

“I’m hoping for justice, sir,” Addiego responded. “Two people were injured on a film set. That has affected not only me, that has affected the film industry.”

Also on Monday, prosecutors called on a series of FBI forensic experts in firearms, fingerprinting, gunpowder and DNA-evidence tracing to testify about their examination of a revolver and ammunition seized from the “Rust” set and an ammunition supplier to the film based in Albuquerque.

Prosecutors argue that Gutierrez-Reed is to blame for bringing live ammunition on set. They say six live rounds found on the Rust&nbsp;set bear identical characteristics — and don’t match live rounds seized from the movie’s supplier in Albuquerque.

Defense attorneys for Gutierrez-Reed have pointed out shortcomings in the collection of evidence from the set, and say that ammunition supplier Seth Kenney wasn’t properly investigated, and never submitted fingerprints.

FBI firearms expert Bryce Ziegler testified about his analysis of a gun held by Baldwin in the shooting. He said the revolver and its safety features were fully functional when it arrived at an FBI laboratory for testing.

“When I received the firearm and I did an initial function examination, it did not appear that any of the safeties were malfunctioning or anything like that,” Ziegler said.

But Ziegler described additional “accidental discharge testing” on the gun in response to Baldwin’s assertions that the gun went off when he did not press the trigger. Ziegler said the only way he could get the gun to fire without pulling the trigger was by striking the gun with a mallet, knowing that it could break under the procedure and receiving permission to proceed.

“The function of that test is to see if I can get this firearm to fire without actually pulling the trigger,” Ziegler said.

“As I tested in my laboratory, it would not fire without pulling the trigger in the full-cocked setting, without being broken,” he said.

Kensington Palace says Britain’s Prince William has pulled out of attending a memorial service for his godfather, the late King Constantine of Greece, because of a personal matter.

The palace declined to elaborate on Tuesday but said his wife, the Princess of Wales, who is recovering from abdominal surgery, continues to do well.

It said William called the Greek royal family, which is attending the memorial service in St. George’s Chapel in Windsor, to let them know he was unable to attend. Constantine II of Greece died in January of last year at the age of 82.

King Charles III, who is being treated for an undisclosed form of cancer, also will not attend the service for his cousin. The monarch has cancelled all his public engagements while he receives treatment.

In a video uploaded by a fan on X, Grover can be heard saying in Hindi, "Mittal saab ki na umar ho rahi he… Dusra, gussa wala chala gaya. Ye toh fact hain na. Galat toh kuch nahi bola Mittal saab ne us tareeka se. Chala gaya… Tum sab toh thande hi ho sab. Tabhhi toh pehle season ka TRP dekh lo aur second, third season ka TRP dekh lo. Sab pata lag jayega (Translation - Mittal sir is getting old…. The angry one has left, that’s a fact. Mr. Mittal hasn’t said anything wrong. You all are so cold. Check the TRP of the first season and those of second and third season, you will know).”

He further added, “Jo pehle season mein chala gaya woh tha GOAT (Greatest Of All Time), aur tum sab teesre season mein bhi ‘audition’ hi kar rahe ho shark banne ki (Translation - The one who left was the GOAT, but you all are still auditioning to be the shark).”

Grover's comments, which earned loud cheers from the students at the college fest, suggest that he believes the current sharks on the show are still in the process of proving themselves, comparing them unfavourably to the previous seasons.

This is not the first time Grover has criticised the current season. In November, he shared the promo of Shark Tank India Season 3 on social media with the caption, “Shark Tank 3 is ‘audition’ of sharks for Shark Tank 4! Life mein ek lesson hai - don’t change and make unnecessary problem of something which is already solved. Wish quantity solves for quality!”

Reality TV star and fashion mogul&nbsp;Kim Kardashian is under scrutiny after a New York man, Ivan A. Cantu, revealed she mistakenly identified him as death row inmate Ivan Cantu on her Instagram Stories. Ivan A. Cantu, a 60-year-old project manager, discovered the mix-up when relatives informed him about the post, causing initial disbelief on his 60th birthday. The mix-up could be because both the death row inmate and the project manager have the same first and last names.

Speaking to TMZ, Ivan A. Cantu speculated that a member of Kardashian's staff had inadvertently posted his image on her social media platform. Kardashian promptly removed the post, and an opinion story addressing the Cantu case was shared on her Instagram feed.

Kardashian, known for her advocacy in criminal justice, also shared a text message campaign urging Texas Governor Greg Abbott to delay an execution scheduled for Wednesday, February 28.

Ivan Cantu had faced a scheduled execution in April 2023 for the fatal shooting of his cousin, James Mosqueda, 27, and his cousin´s girlfriend, Amy Kitchen, 22, during a November 2000 robbery at their north Dallas home. However, a Texas judge stopped the execution the same month amid Cantu's claims of innocence, citing false testimony and questionable evidence.

Gena Bunn, Cantu's attorney, explained, "Because Mr Cantu's case raises troubling questions that undermine the integrity of the conviction, the court´s decision to withdraw the execution date to permit further review was the appropriate next step."

Two jurors who convicted Cantu have submitted declarations expressing doubts about the case. Maurice Jacob, one of the jurors, emphasised the need for a careful and thorough review of the evidence before carrying out the execution.

Cantu's legal team has challenged the credibility of key witness Amy Boettcher, whose testimony played a crucial role in the conviction. Boettcher passed away in 2021, and several discrepancies in her statements have emerged, including false claims about stolen items and a proposal.

Attorney Gena Bunn credited private investigator Matt Duff for uncovering new evidence in the case, documented in a podcast called Cousins By Blood.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, Kardashian, who is&nbsp;passionate about criminal justice and is studying to become a lawyer, was&nbsp;instrumental in the 2018 prison release of Alice Marie Johnson, following a pardon from then-president Donald Trump. Johnson had been sentenced to life in prison for a nonviolent drug offence as a result of her 1996 conviction in a drug trafficking ring.

2024 Producers Guild Awards full winners list: Oppenheimer and Martin Scorsese honoured

Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone&nbsp;shared insights into the challenges she faced while filming Poor Things during a panel discussion at Saturday's Celebration of the Nominees for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. Stone, nominated once again for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as Bella Baxter in the film, highlighted a particular dietary difficulty she encountered.

Stone, 35, addressed questions about playing "an explicitly sexual character," stating that it "wasn't" tough. She praised the support provided by the film's team, including the intimacy coordinator and the controlled filming environments, which made those scenes easier to navigate.

However, Stone revealed that the real challenge lay in portraying Bella's other emotions and quirks, such as her unique eating habits. She described&nbsp;the difficulty of consuming multiple Portuguese tarts for a scene and portraying&nbsp;Bella's reaction to witnessing death and decay for the very first time and making it seem convincing.

"The sexuality of Bella was another part of that, and the way that that was going to be shot and how we were going to do it and our incredible intimacy coordinator and our closed sets and all of that.

"Figuring out how to walk or eat 60 Portuguese tarts, which the first bite is delicious, but by the end you really want to puke. Or her seeing death and decay for the first time, much more challenging than the nudity, which is the only thing people want to seem to ask me about."

Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, Poor Things is based on the 1992 novel by Alasdair Gray. The plot follows Bella Baxter, a young woman in Victorian London who comes to life through a brain transplant and embarks on an odyssey of self-discovery.

Stone's performance in the film has earned her several awards, including the Leading Actress trophy at the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards. She also won the Critics Choice Award for Best Actress.

While Stone was nominated for the outstanding performance by a female actor in a leading role at the SAG Awards, the award ultimately went to Lily Gladstone for her performance in Killers of the Flower Moon.

Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone shared insights into the challenges she faced while filming Poor Things during a panel discussion at Saturday's Celebration of the Nominees for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures in Los Angeles.

Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone shared insights into the challenges she faced while filming Poor Things during a panel discussion at Saturday's Celebration of the Nominees for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures in Los Angeles. Stone, nominated once again for an Academy Award for Best Actress for her role as Bella Baxter in the film, highlighted a particular dietary difficulty she encountered. Stone, 35, addressed questions about playing "an explicitly sexual character," stating that it "wasn't" tough. She praised the support provided by the film's team, including the intimacy coordinator and the controlled filming environments, which made those scenes easier to navigate. However, Stone revealed that the real challenge lay in portraying Bella's other emotions and quirks, such as her unique eating habits. She described the difficulty of consuming multiple Portuguese tarts for a scene and portraying Bella's reaction to witnessing death and decay for the very first time and making it seem convincing. "The sexuality of Bella was another part of that, and the way that that was going to be shot and how we were going to do it and our incredible intimacy coordinator and our closed sets and all of that. In some ways, that was the easiest part because that was choreographed. Those were quick. We knew exactly what we were doing," she said.

Emma Stone reveals she had to eat 60 Portuguese tarts for a scene while filming Poor Things

The 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards witnessed a highly-anticipated reunion as The Devil Wears Prada stars Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, and Meryl Streep took the stage together to present an award. The trio delighted fans by injecting references from the iconic film into their appearance.

Meryl Streep, who played the formidable Miranda Priestly, first appeared on stage, humorously claiming to have forgotten her glasses and the envelope with the winning name. Blunt and Hathaway then joined her, echoing their roles as Miranda's assistants by handing her the missing items.

"It's an age-old question: Where does the character end and the actor begin?" Streep mused, to which Blunt added, "Well, as we've just seen, Meryl and Miranda Priestly are sort of like twins."

"I don't think I'm anything like Miranda," Streep replied, before Hathaway interjected with a classic Miranda quote: "No, no. That wasn't a question."

The playful banter continued as Blunt, imitating Miranda's famous demeanour, urged Streep to open the envelope: "By all means, move at a glacial pace. You know how much that thrills me," she quipped.

Comedian and actress Amy Schumer has revealed that she has been diagnosed with Cushing syndrome, a condition caused by an excess of cortisol in the body. Schumer, 42, shared her diagnosis in Jessica Yellin's News Not Noise&nbsp;newsletter, following speculation about her appearance during the promotional tour for season 2 of her show Life &amp; Beth.

Expressing relief at her diagnosis, Schumer stated that she feels "reborn" after learning that she has a form of Cushing syndrome that will resolve on its own.

The actress revealed that she became aware of her condition while undergoing extensive medical tests during her promotional activities. She shared her gratitude for the support she received online, stating, "Having the internet chime in helped me know something was wrong."

"While I was doing press on camera for my Hulu show, I was also in MRI machines four hours at a time, having my veins shut down from the amount of blood drawn and thinking I may not be around to see my son grow up. So finding out I have the kind of Cushing that will just work itself out and I'm healthy was the greatest news imaginable," said Schumer.

Schumer also spoke about her decision to share her diagnosis publicly, citing her desire to advocate for women's health. She emphasised the importance of self-love and empowerment, urging kindness toward oneself and others.

"The shaming and criticism of our ever-changing bodies is something I have dealt with and witnessed for a long time," said Schumer. "I want so much for women to love themselves and be relentless when fighting for their own health in a system that usually doesn't believe them."

This revelation comes after Schumer addressed her health issues in an Instagram post on February 15, where she mentioned having "some medical and hormonal things" and disclosed her struggle with endometriosis, an autoimmune disease.

"Historically women’s bodies have barely been studied medically compared to men. The book ‘all in her head’ does a good job of explaining this. I also believe a woman doesn’t need any excuse for her physical appearance and owes no explanation. But I wanted to take the opportunity to advocate for self-love and acceptance of the skin you’re in," Schumer wrote in her Feb 15 Instagram post.&nbsp;

What is Cushing Syndrome?

Cushing syndrome is a rare hormonal disorder that occurs when your body is exposed to high levels of the hormone cortisol for a long time. It can develop from the use of oral corticosteroid medication or from the overproduction of cortisol by the adrenal glands.

Symptoms of Cushing syndrome can vary but may include weight gain, particularly around the midsection and upper back (causing a rounded "buffalo hump" appearance), thinning of the skin that bruises easily, stretch marks on the abdomen, thighs, and breasts, fatigue, muscle weakness, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, irritability, anxiety, or depression, and irregular or absent menstrual periods in women.

Treatment depends on the cause of the syndrome and may include reducing the use of corticosteroids, surgery to remove tumours causing the excess cortisol, or medications to control the production of cortisol. Early diagnosis and treatment can help manage the symptoms and prevent complications.
