<p>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."</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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."</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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).</p>

<p>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 <em>The Voice</em>, a responsibility that should have been undertaken by her licensed talent agents at Creative Artists Agency (CAA).</p>

<p>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 <em>The Voice</em> 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.</p>

<p>Crucially, the commissioner dismissed Clarkson's claim for additional commission repayment from Blackstock's involvement in procuring <em>The Kelly Clarkson Show</em>. 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.</p>

<p>Clarkson and Blackstock's marriage of seven years ended in a divorce filing by the singer in June 2020.

<p><strong>Sam Bahadur review:&nbsp;</strong>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;</p>

<p>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;</p>

<p>&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.</p>

<p>While the events and anecdotes are all there, the writing never elevates the narrative which poses as the major backdraw of Sam Bahadur.</p>

<h2>What does not work</h2>

<p>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.</p>

<h2>The performances</h2>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<h2>Celebrating the Indian army</h2>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

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

<p>2023 is the year of big box office clashes. In Hollywood, we saw <em>Barbie </em>vs <em>Oppenheimer,</em> and in Bollywood, we had&nbsp;<em>OMG 2</em> vs&nbsp;<em>Gadar 2.</em> And now we have another big clash coming, which is between Ranbir Kapoor's <em>Animal </em>and Vicky Kaushal's <em>Sam Bahadur</em>. The next is between Shah Rukh Khan's <em>Dunki </em>and Prabhas'<em> Salaar </em>slated for year-end.&nbsp;</p>

<p>If the audience is excited to watch Ranbir in a violent avatar, then one thing that we can't ignore is Vicky Kaushal and how people have loved him in patriotic films. His <em>Raazi, Uri, </em>and <em>Sardar Udham</em> have been loved by the audience.&nbsp;</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>The much-anticipated trial of Grammy-winning rapper Young Thug, whose real name is Jeffrey Lamar Williams, commonly referred to as the "YSL RICO trial," has officially commenced in Atlanta. After a lengthy jury selection process that concluded in early November, the trial began on Monday, marking a significant legal battle for the 32-year-old musician, who spent 567 days in jail and faces charges of racketeering and gang conspiracy.</p>

<h2><strong>What are the&nbsp;charges and allegations?</strong></h2>

<p>The Fulton District Attorney contends that Young Thug is the co-founder of a violent criminal street gang known as Young Slime Life, with ties to the national Bloods gang. Prosecutors assert that the rapper used his music, notably through his label Young Stoner Life Records (YSL Records), to promote this gang. The charges against him include conspiracy to violate the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), among other serious allegations.</p>

<h2><strong>Who is Young Thug and what are his achievements?</strong></h2>

<p>Before delving into the trial details, it's crucial to understand Young Thug's significance in the music industry. The 32-year-old artist is an award-winning rapper and a pioneer of the melodic trap sound. Known for his unique, mumble-like delivery and collaborations with artists like Drake, Future, and Travis Scott, Young Thug has earned three No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart. His crossover hits, including "Havanna" with Camila Cabello and "This Is America" with Childish Gambino, showcase his versatility.</p>

<p>Beyond music, Young Thug has made waves as a fashion icon, challenging gender stereotypes with his bold style choices, such as donning a dress on the cover of his 2016 mixtape "Jeffery."</p>

<h2><strong>Accusations&nbsp;and legal defense</strong></h2>

<p>Young Thug faces serious accusations of being connected to the Young Slime Life gang and involvement in criminal activities. The charges span from racketeering to drug and weapons-related offences, with one of the more severe allegations linking him to a 2015 drive-by shooting, resulting in the death of Donovan Thomas Jr., a rival gang member.</p>

<p>However, the rapper, who was denied bond in June 2022, has pleaded not guilty and vehemently denied all charges. His legal team asserts that YSL Records is merely a record label with no gang affiliations. They maintain that while some individuals indicted with Young Thug may have committed crimes, he is not responsible for orchestrating these actions.</p>

<h2><strong>Other defendants and plea deals</strong></h2>

<p>The YSL RICO trial initially included 28 defendants, with rapper Gunna (Sergio Kitchens) among those arrested in May 2022. Gunna, like several others, opted for a plea deal in December 2022. While maintaining his innocence, Gunna accepted an Alford plea, acknowledging that pleading guilty was in his best interest.</p>

<p>Now, only five defendants, including Young Thug, are set to stand trial, as plea deals and separate trials reduced the number from the initial 28.</p>

<h2><strong>Legal evidence</strong></h2>

<p>In a controversial ruling on Nov. 9, an Atlanta judge decided that lyrics from Young Thug's songs could be used as evidence in the trial. The prosecution can present 17 specific sets of lyrics, including those from songs like "Eww," "Just How It Is," and "Mob Ties." The judge allowed this as long as the prosecution demonstrated their relevance to the alleged crimes, the gang's existence, and the defendants' involvement and mindset regarding the charges.</p>

<p>This decision has sparked debate, especially considering California's recent law restricting the use of lyrics as evidence in criminal trials. Over 100 artists and industry leaders signed an open letter titled "Art on Trial: Protect Black Art," expressing concern that using Young Thug's lyrics in legal proceedings criminalises Black talent.</p>

<h2><strong>Lengthy jury selection and trial expectations</strong></h2>

<p>Jury selection for the YSL RICO trial faced numerous setbacks, leading to a prolonged process that began in January 2023, according to AP. Various logistical challenges, including coordinating defendants from different jails, issues with contraband, and arrests of courtroom personnel, contributed to delays.</p>

<h2><strong>Latest update on the case</strong></h2>

<p>During opening statements of the racketeering trial on Monday, prosecutors accused Young Thug of leading a criminal street gang that committed murder and a slew of violent crimes in the Atlanta area over the past decade. Fulton County Chief Deputy District Attorney Adriane Love said, "YSL operated as a pact and Young Thug was King Slime." She further claimed that the rapper's home was filled with drugs and guns, and gang members would reach out for permission to kill and to provide him with stolen items.</p>

<p>"They created a crater in the middle of Fulton County’s Cleveland Avenue community that sucked in the youth, the innocence and even the lives of some of its youngest members," Love said.</p>

<p>As the trial gets underway with nine women and three men on the jury, the duration of the case remains uncertain.

<p>On Sunday night, Ye, who was previously known as&nbsp;Kanye West, delivered an unexpected performance of his new controversial song "Vultures" during Lil Durk's concert at Blu Dubai alongside Ty Dolla $ign. While performing on stage, he crooned the offensive lyrics, which goes like, "How am I antisemitic? I just f***ed a Jewish b***h."</p>

<p>Blu Dubai shared footage of the performance on Instagram Stories, showcasing Ye rapping these contentious lyrics from "Vultures." The track, featuring Lil Durk and Ty Dolla $ign, had initially debuted on Nov. 17 on Chicago radio station WPWX Power 92.</p>

<p>The song also contains references to Ye's former manager, Scooter Braun, with lyrics like, "I just f***ed Scooter’s b***h," and a mention of the tragic Columbine High School shooting.</p>

<p>Ye's history of antisemitic comments has had significant consequences, leading to the loss of deals with major brands. In October 2022, he forfeited his billionaire status after Adidas, Balenciaga, and Gap terminated their agreements with him. His estimated worth plummeted from $6.6 billion in March 2021 to a projected $400 million in October 2022, according to Forbes.</p>

<p>Hollywood star Catherine Zeta-Jones is in India with her husband, Michael Douglas, to attend the prestigious International Film Festival of India (IFFI). Douglas will be honoured with the Satyajit Ray Lifetime Achievement Award on Tuesday (Nov 28).</p>

<p>Michael and Catherine are currently in the picturesque city of Goa and recently interacted with the mediapersons present at the event. Talking about her special connection with India, Catherine talked about the time when an Indian doctor saved her life, and her favourite Indian film in which she would love to feature.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Saying that&nbsp;India&nbsp;has touched her in a very personal way, the <em>Wednesday</em> star said, “The story I’ve never told before is that India has touched me in a very serious personal way. It was an Indian doctor who saved my life with a tracheotomy when I was 18 months old.''<br />
<br />
She added, ''I wonder why when I come to India, I have this feeling of coming home, and maybe it has something to do with that. The reason I’m here is because of the brilliance of an Indian doctor in the UK.”</p>

<p>Catherine, 54, looked stunning in a one-shoulder blue dress with a long trail. She kept her hair open and her makeup simple. Meanwhile, her husband, Michael, was wearing a blue-printed coat with a matching blue shirt and pants.<br />
<br />
At the event, the prolific actress also shared her love for Indian movies, as she went on to name Shah Rukh Khan's <em>Om Shanti Om</em> as her favourite Indian movie.</p>

<p>"I have always been a huge fan of Bollywood and being a singer and a dancer, I dreamt (that) maybe the British film industry would do the Bollywood type of films and I would be able to be cast," she said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Revealing that she showed SRK's film to her son, the Hollywood star&nbsp;said, "And when his (sons) kid friends came over, he is like, 'You want to see a movie from India, it's my mom's favourite movie'. We love it and we watched it many times."&nbsp;</p>

Hollywood star Catherine Zeta-Jones is in India with her husband, Michael Douglas, to attend the prestigious International Film Festival of India (IFFI). Douglas will be honoured with the Satyajit Ray Lifetime Achievement Award on Tuesday (Nov 28). Michael and Catherine are currently in the picturesque city of Goa and recently interacted with the mediapersons present at the event. Talking about her special connection with India, Catherine talked about the time when an Indian doctor saved her life, and her favourite Indian film in which she would love to feature. Saying that India has touched her in a very personal way, the Wednesday star said, “The story I’ve never told before is that India has touched me in a very serious personal way. It was an Indian doctor who saved my life with a tracheotomy when I was 18 months old.'' She added, ''I wonder why when I come to India, I have this feeling of coming home, and maybe it has something to do with that. The reason I’m here is because of the brilliance of an Indian doctor in the UK.” Catherine, 54, looked stunning in a one-shoulder blue dress with a long trail. She kept her hair open and her makeup simple. Meanwhile, her husband, Michael, was wearing a blue-printed coat with a matching blue shirt and pants. At the event, the prolific actress also shared her love for Indian movies, as she went on to name Shah Rukh Khan's Om Shanti Om as her favourite Indian movie. IFFI 2023: Michael Douglas reveals how Satyajit Ray influenced his early career "I have always been a huge fan of Bollywood and being a singer and a dancer, I dreamt (that) maybe the British film industry would do the Bollywood type of films and I would be able to be cast," she said. Revealing that she showed SRK's film to her son, the Hollywood star said, "And when his (sons) kid friends came over, he is like, 'You want to see a movie from India, it's my mom's favourite movie'. We love it and we watched it many times." When asked whether she would want to work in India, Catherine said that she would love to star in Ritesh Batra's The Lunchbox. The critically acclaimed movie stars late actor Irrfan Khan and Nimrat Kaur alongside Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

It touched me in a sense of being such a quintessential Indian movie, it just touched me as an European woman so much," she added.

<p>Punjabi singer Gippy Grewal is speaking out after a violent attack near his Canada house. On Saturday, gunshots were fired near his house in the White Rock neighbourhood of Vancouver, Canada.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hours after the shocking incident, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi took responsibility, threatening the singer over his close relationship with Bollywood actor Salman Khan.&nbsp;</p>

We cannot comprehend what has happened and why it has happened,” he said before adding,&nbsp;“When this incident happened, I was shocked because I have never faced any controversies before. I have no enmity with anyone so I couldn’t even think who could have been behind the attack.”</p>

For me, it is still shocking and I am unable to process what has happened to me.”</p>

<p>It is not known whether Grewal has reported the incident to Canadian police or if cops took cognisance themselves, but such firing and the fearlessness with which criminal gangs are operating in Canada is a point of concern.<br />

<p>A&nbsp;legal battle surrounding drug-related accusations involving K-pop icon G-Dragon has taken a decisive turn as recent tests have absolved him of any alleged drug use, culminating in the police dropping charges against the BIGBANG member.</p>

<p>The tumultuous period between October and November witnessed distressing allegations targeting esteemed Korean celebrities, notably G-Dragon (Kwon Ji Yong) and actor Lee Sun Gyun. Amidst these allegations, G-Dragon underwent rigorous drug tests encompassing hair, nails, and toenails, all of which returned negative results, initially clearing him of any suspicions.</p>

<p>However, despite these results, a subsequent investigation was launched by the police in conjunction with the National Forensic Service to ascertain if G-Dragon had manipulated the situation by dyeing or bleaching his hair. The investigation's conclusion validated G-Dragon's earlier assertions, confirming that there had been no recent alterations to his hair colour.</p>

A legal battle surrounding drug-related accusations involving K-pop icon G-Dragon has taken a decisive turn as recent tests have absolved him of any alleged drug use, culminating in the police dropping charges against the BIGBANG member.

A legal battle surrounding drug-related accusations involving K-pop icon G-Dragon has taken a decisive turn as recent tests have absolved him of any alleged drug use, culminating in the police dropping charges against the BIGBANG member. The tumultuous period between October and November witnessed distressing allegations targeting esteemed Korean celebrities, notably G-Dragon (Kwon Ji Yong) and actor Lee Sun Gyun. Amidst these allegations, G-Dragon underwent rigorous drug tests encompassing hair, nails, and toenails, all of which returned negative results, initially clearing him of any suspicions. However, despite these results, a subsequent investigation was launched by the police in conjunction with the National Forensic Service to ascertain if G-Dragon had manipulated the situation by dyeing or bleaching his hair. The investigation's conclusion validated G-Dragon's earlier assertions, confirming that there had been no recent alterations to his hair colour. According to reports from a Korean media outlet, the police have officially dropped charges against the acclaimed singer, indicating that they are not pursuing further identification in the case concerning G-Dragon. This development comes as a relief to G-Dragon's legion of devoted fans, marking a significant exoneration for the artist. Notably, this isn't the first time the BIGBANG member has faced controversy regarding drug-related issues.

<p>Colombian singer Shakira has made significant financial payments to resolve tax investigations in Spain, her agent confirmed on Friday. Just days after striking a deal to avoid trial in her&nbsp;2012-14 tax case, it has come to light that the celebrity has already paid 6.6 million euros ($7.2 million) to a Spanish court for her 2018 tax evasion case, according to her agent.</p>

<p>For those unaware, Spanish prosecutors in July opened a second case against the 46-year-old singer, accusing her of using a network of companies, some of them based in tax havens, to cheat Spain's tax office out of some 6.6 million euros in 2018, including interest and adjustments.</p>

<p>Shakira paid the court in August, the agency that represents her told AFP, confirming a report in the daily newspaper El Periodico. However, it's crucial to note that this payment neither implies guilt nor innocence, but rather stands as an indication of her commitment to resolve any potential debts with the Spanish tax authorities, according to reports.</p>

<p>This development comes in the wake of a separate agreement reached by the "Hips Don't Lie" singer with Spanish prosecutors earlier in the week. To evade trial for tax fraud linked to her income between 2012 and 2014, Shakira agreed to a fine of 7.3 million euros, equivalent to half of the unpaid tax amount.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Shakira, who had initially declined an offer from prosecutors, emphasised in a statement that her decision to settle was guided by the well-being of her children.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“While I was determined to defend my innocence in a trial that my lawyers were confident would have ruled in my favour, I have made the decision to finally resolve this matter with the best interest of my kids at heart, who do not want to see their mom sacrifice her personal well-being in this fight,” the statement read.</p>

<p>Globally acclaimed Colombian singer and songwriter Shakira, whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, has reached a deal with Spanish prosecutors to settle a tax fraud case, just as the trial was about to start. The singer has now agreed to pay a fine of €7.3 million ($8 million). However, the prosecutors were previously seeking an 8-year jail term or a fine of €23.8 million if found guilty.</p>

<p>In December 2018, Spanish prosecutors dropped a bombshell, accusing the global superstar of tax evasion.</p>

<p><strong>What was the claim?</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>The prosecutors had claimed that she failed to pay more than €14.5 million&nbsp;in income tax for the years 2012 to 2014. According to the lawsuit filed in the Barcelona&nbsp;Court, Shakira declared the Bahamas as her primary residence during this period, which is a claim disputed by Spanish tax authorities.</p>

<p>The prosecution contends that Shakira, during the specified years, primarily resided in Spain with her then-boyfriend, Gerard Piqué, and their family&nbsp;at a Barcelona property she bought in May 2012.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The general rule in Spain stipulates that if one resides or is domiciled in the country for more than half the year, they owe taxes.&nbsp;Speaking to <em>Good Morning America</em>&nbsp;in July 2022, Jesse Bolling, a trial attorney who is not involved in the case, emphasised the importance of proving residency, stating, "The general rule in Spain is, for each year, if you reside, if you're domiciled in Spain, you owe taxes. Domiciled is defined, for the most part, as being there for more than half the year. You're supposed to keep a diary or a calendar of where you are on every day."</p>

<h2><strong>What does Shakira have to say about the tax fraud case?</strong></h2>

<p>Shakira vehemently denies living in Spain during 2012-2014, asserting that her primary residence was the Bahamas, where she filed her taxes. Her public relations firm claims she has already settled the owed tax amount, along with additional interest, during the period she considered herself domiciled in the Bahamas.</p>

<p>In response to the charges filed in December 2018, Shakira, during a related court hearing in June 2019, adamantly denied any wrongdoing. A Spanish judge, in July 2021, recommended proceeding to trial, signalling that there was sufficient evidence to support the allegations.</p>

<p>In May 2022, a Barcelona court dismissed an appeal by Shakira, further paving the way for a trial. In July 2022, the singer rejected a settlement offer from prosecutors, opting to go to trial instead. The terms of the settlement offer were not disclosed, but Shakira's representative affirmed her commitment to cooperating with the law.</p>

<p>"Shakira has always cooperated and abided by the law, demonstrating impeccable conduct as an individual and a taxpayer, and faithfully following the counsel of PriceWaterhouseCoopers, a prestigious and globally recognized tax firm," a representative for Shakira said at the time.</p>

<p>"Unfortunately, the Spanish Tax Office, which loses one out of every two lawsuits with its taxpayers, continues to violate her rights and pursue yet another baseless case," the statement continued. "Shakira is confident that her innocence will be proven by the end of the judicial process."</p>

<p>In a September 2022 interview with Elle, Shakira reiterated her innocence, challenging the accusations as "false."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Speaking to the outlet, she said, "First of all, I didn't spend 183 days per year at that time at all. I was busy fulfilling my professional commitments around the world. Second, I've paid everything they claimed I owed, even before they filed a lawsuit. So as of today, I owe zero to them."</p>

<p>Emphasising her adherence to guidance from a renowned tax specialist firm, the singer stated, "I was advised by one of the four biggest tax specialist firms in the world, PricewaterhouseCoopers, so I was confident that I was doing things correctly and transparently from day one."</p>

<p>She also criticized Spanish courts for resorting to a press campaign to influence public opinion and coerce settlement agreements, by adding,&nbsp;"Even without evidence to support these fictional claims, as they usually do, they've resorted to a salacious press campaign to try to sway people, and apply pressure in the media along with the threat of reputational damage in order to coerce settlement agreements."&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What are the latest developments?</strong></h2>

<p>In a surprising turn of events,&nbsp;Shakira recently reached a settlement to avoid a trial over the tax evasion charges. The settlement addresses the alleged failure to pay €14.5 million in Spanish income tax between 2012 and 2014. As per the agreement, fines replace the potential jail time, and the trial is off the table.</p>

<p>While this settlement provides a resolution for the specified period, Shakira faces a second tax fraud investigation, in which the singer&nbsp;has been accused of tax evasion in Spain.&nbsp;Allegedly, she failed to pay €6.7 million in taxes in 2018.</p>

<p>Previously, Barcelona prosecutors claimed that the singer failed to declare millions in advance payments for her El Dorado World Tour, among other payments.</p>

<p>The prosecutors opened the second investigation in July 2023 but released the details in September 2023.</p>

<p>Joe Jonas, 34, took to Instagram on Saturday to share a cringe-worthy fan encounter during a Jonas Brothers tour stop in Minnesota. In a video captioned "Pain",&nbsp;Jonas recounted an awkward moment that unfolded after a fan approached him outside a brewery in Minneapolis.</p>

<p>Walking his followers through the embarrassing encounter, Jonas explained, "OK, story time. So, I was walking out of a brewery this afternoon here in Minneapolis, and someone stopped and asked for a photo. We took a photo; she's very lovely."</p>

<p>However, the seemingly smooth interaction took an amusing turn when the fan wished him a good show for the next day. "And then on the way out, she said, 'Have a good show tomorrow,' and I said, 'You too.' And she might be a performer — I don't know," Jonas continued. "But it's pretty much the equivalent of when you're checking in for a flight and they're like, 'Have a safe flight.' Then you're like, 'You too,' and you just feel like you wanna die inside."</p>

<p>In a delightful twist, the fan in question saw Jonas' post and responded to it, confirming her identity as a sports broadcaster for ESPN, Fox Sports, and the Big Ten Network. She playfully acknowledged the mishap, assuring Jonas, "Don’t worry, we’ve all been there."</p>

Joe Jonas, 34, took to Instagram on Saturday to share a cringe-worthy fan encounter during a Jonas Brothers tour stop in Minnesota. In a video captioned "Pain", Jonas recounted an awkward moment that unfolded after a fan approached him outside a brewery in Minneapolis. Walking his followers through the embarrassing encounter, Jonas explained, "OK, story time. So, I was walking out of a brewery this afternoon here in Minneapolis, and someone stopped and asked for a photo. We took a photo; she's very lovely." However, the seemingly smooth interaction took an amusing turn when the fan wished him a good show for the next day. "And then on the way out, she said, 'Have a good show tomorrow,' and I said, 'You too.' And she might be a performer — I don't know," Jonas continued. "But it's pretty much the equivalent of when you're checking in for a flight and they're like, 'Have a safe flight.' Then you're like, 'You too,' and you just feel like you wanna die inside." In a delightful twist, the fan in question saw Jonas' post and responded to it, confirming her identity as a sports broadcaster for ESPN, Fox Sports, and the Big Ten Network. She playfully acknowledged the mishap, assuring Jonas, "Don’t worry, we’ve all been there."
