Ram Charan and his dog Rhyme to get new wax statues at Madame Tussauds: Watch

Sean "Diddy" Combs is no longer on suicide watch. He is currently being held in Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center. A law enforcement source told a publication that Combs was initially placed on suicide watch as a precautionary measure, not due to an explicit threat of self-harm.&nbsp;

Following his arrest on September 16, it was reported that Combs had been in shock, and officials were unsure of his mental state at the time. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, suicide watch entails frequent observation of inmates deemed at risk, reports People.

Combs is currently focused on preparing his defence. “He is concentrating on his defence and preparing for his trial,” his lawyer told People, adding that the music mogul remains “focused and very strong.”

Combs has pleaded not guilty to all the charges, which include accusations of orchestrating forced and coerced "freak offs," elaborate sex performances involving victims and male sex workers.&nbsp;

Prosecutors allege Combs used his influence and drugs such as cocaine and ketamine to intimidate victims, sometimes capturing these acts on camera without their consent. During raids of his Los Angeles and Miami homes, federal agents reportedly seized AR-15 rifles and large quantities of baby oil and lubricant.

Combs’ legal team has been working to secure his release before trial, proposing a $50 million bail package. However, a judge denied the request, and the decision was upheld on appeal. His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, recently told TMZ that Combs is eager to testify and tell his side of the story in court.

Combs remains in custody, reportedly in the same area of the detention centre as disgraced FTX founder Sam Bankman-Fried. The trial is expected to begin in early October.

Rebel Wilson has officially tied the knot! The 44-year-old actress and comedian exchanged vows with her partner Ramona Agruma, 40, in a romantic destination wedding held in Sardinia, Italy, on Saturday.&nbsp;

The love story between Wilson and Agruma blossomed in June 2022 when they went public with their relationship. Wilson, known for her roles in Pitch Perfect and Senior Year, shared the exciting news on Instagram with a heartwarming post, writing, "I thought I was searching for a Disney Prince… but maybe what I really needed all this time was a Disney Princess #loveislove."

The choice to marry in Sardinia held sentimental value for the couple as it was the location of their first romantic getaway after making their relationship public. In June 2022, Wilson posted a snapshot of them holding hands in the picturesque seaside town of Porto Cervo, captioning it, "Ciao Bellas."&nbsp;

Speaking to People in 2022, Wilson shared how their relationship developed through phone conversations before meeting in person. “It was a bit old-school in that sense — very romantic,” she recalled.&nbsp;

The pair got engaged in a magical proposal at Disneyland in California on Valentine’s Day 2023. Wilson popped the question in front of the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle, a fitting backdrop for the fairytale moment.&nbsp;

Wilson later revealed details of the proposal in her memoir, Rebel Rising: A Memoir, released in April 2024.&nbsp;

Describing the touching scene, Wilson recounted, “Ramona sees the pastel rose petals all over the ground and the roses in vases. I tell her how special she is to me. And then I get down on one knee and open the ring box. I end with, 'So in this cliché way, on this cliché day, Ramona Agruma, will you marry me?' 'Yes,' she says through the tears streaming down her face."

Ellen DeGeneres has revealed several health diagnoses including osteoporosis, OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) and ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), in her new Netflix special For Your Approval. The former talk show host spoke candidly about ageing and the personal challenges she has faced since stepping away from the spotlight.

DeGeneres shared that she was diagnosed with osteoporosis after undergoing a bone density test. "I don’t even know how I’m standing up right now. I’m like a human sandcastle. I could disintegrate in the shower."&nbsp;

“I had excruciating pain one day and I thought I tore a ligament or something and I got an MRI and they said, ‘No, it’s just arthritis.’ I said, ‘How did I get that?’ And he said, ‘Oh it just happens at your age,'” she recalled.

Osteoporosis is a condition where bones lose density, increasing the risk of fractures.

In the special, DeGeneres also talked about her mental health. Following backlash over allegations of a toxic workplace on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, she sought therapy, where she discovered she had OCD and ADHD. Reflecting on her OCD diagnosis, she admitted that her upbringing in Christian Science left her unaware of her mental health conditions.

“I didn’t know what OCD was. I was raised in a religion, Christian Science, that doesn’t acknowledge diseases or disorders. So when I was growing up, nobody talked about anything. There was no discussion of anything,” she said.

DeGeneres humorously acknowledged her ADHD, admitting how it affects her ability to focus and maintain attention on tasks. “My ADD makes it really hard to sit down and focus on anything at all. I mean, do you know how hard it was for me to put this together? Of course, you don’t. Why would I ask that question? It’s hard for me to focus,” she told a laughing crowd.

In the end, she said, “So, I have ADD, I have OCD, I’m losing my memory. But I think I’m well-adjusted because I obsess about things but then I don’t have the attention span to stick with it and I quickly forget what I was obsessing about in the first place. So, it takes me all the way around to being well-adjusted, I think.”

She also addressed the public controversy surrounding her in 2020, when her show was accused of fostering a toxic work environment. DeGeneres shared that she no longer lets public opinion dictate her self-worth, stating, "What other people think of me is none of my business."

Angelina Jolie has reportedly dropped her legal battle against the U.S. Department of Justice and FBI regarding documents related to an alleged 2016 plane incident involving her then-husband and actor Brad Pitt.&nbsp;

The 49-year-old had sought access to FBI records through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request in 2021. However, according to court documents obtained by People, Jolie ended the case on Wednesday (September 25).

The documents Jolie was pursuing involved an alleged altercation on a private plane in 2016 between a reportedly intoxicated Pitt and Jolie. The incident took place just days before Jolie filed for divorce. The couple tied the knot in 2005.

The two have six children: Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, and twins Vivienne and Knox, who were reportedly present during the incident which eventually led to investigations by the Los Angeles Department of Child and Family Services and the FBI.&nbsp;

Allegations surfaced that Pitt became verbally abusive and physical with one of the children. However, Pitt has consistently denied these claims. By the end of 2016, both the FBI and DCFS cleared Pitt of any wrongdoing and no charges were filed.

The legal battle over the alleged plane incident reignited amid the couple’s ongoing dispute over their French vineyard Château Miraval. In 2022, Jolie's legal team responded to a lawsuit from Pitt, which also included claims that Pitt had physically assaulted two of their children during the 2016 flight. A source close to Pitt denied these allegations, calling them "completely untrue."

Damiano David, lead singer of Italian rock band and Eurovision winner Maneskin, released his first solo track Friday, sparking fears among fans that the group might be about to split.

David collaborated on the song, "Silverlines", with American artists Sarah Hudson and Ferras and the British rapper and producer Labrinth.

The Italian singer, whose live performances and party nights with bassist Victoria De Angelis fuelled Maneskin's sultry reputation, seems to suggest with the melancholy track that he has entered a more mellow period of his life.

"I don't feel sad anymore, the calm after the storm, peace belongs to me," he sings.

"This song is very special to me", he told Italy's La Stampa daily in an interview published Friday.

"I naturally chose it as the start of this new chapter in my artistic life, and I sincerely hope that people are ready to take this journey with me."

David said at the MTV Video Music Awards in New York this month that his solo project did not mean the end of Maneskin.

"One thing is certain, the band will continue to make records together. We get on very well, and my solo record will not put an end to our activity as a band," he said.

Maneskin won the Eurovision Song Contest in 2021 and David is its best-known member, with over five million followers on Instagram.

The other three members are also involved in solo projects.

De Angelis has played in a Duran Duran song, guitarist Thomas Raggi has taken part in concerts with other artists, and drummer Ethan Torchio has composed music for a documentary, according to La Stampa.

Cooper Koch, who recently played Erik Menendez in the Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story helmed by Ryan Murphy, has spoken out in support of the Menendez brothers after visiting them in prison. Koch described the brothers as "upstanding individuals" during his visit to the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility near San Diego. He was accompanied by Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, and Kris Jenner.&nbsp;

Koch told Variety that when he first met Erik, they "immediately embraced" and shared a kind connection. He also met Lyle and said he was grateful to be in the presence of both brothers. The visit took place on Saturday (September 21).

The Menendez brothers came into the spotlight in 1989 after they shot and killed their parents Jose and Kitty Menendez in their Beverly Hills home. They claimed the killings were in response to years of sexual abuse by their father, which their mother ignored. However, authorities believed their motive was greed, noting their lavish spending right after the murders.

In 1996, Lyle and Erik were convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. Their first trial ended in a deadlock, which is basically when the jury cannot reach a unanimous decision.

Koch believes the brothers deserve a new trial. He explained that back then it was difficult for people to understand that male-on-male sexual abuse could occur, especially between a father and son. He argued that today, with more knowledge of child abuse, the brothers' case should be reconsidered.

After the series premiere, Erik Menendez took to social media to criticise it, calling Monsters "rooted in horrible and blatant lies." He accused Ryan Murphy of knowingly sharing false information about his and Lyle’s lives.

Koch said he discussed Erik’s feelings about the show during the prison visit. He also noted how difficult it must be to have such a traumatic event in their lives portrayed on TV.

Koch also shared that the Menendez brothers have been doing positive work in prison. Erik teaches meditation and speech classes and both brothers are involved in the Greenspace project to improve the prison grounds.

From Hagrid to Albus Dumbledore: Harry Potter stars who are sadly no longer with us

Raghav Juyal needs no introduction. After captivating the country with his dance moves and quirky humour, Juyal is now making waves with his acting performances.

In Nikhil Nagesh Bhat's Kill, Juyal shocked moviegoers with his performance as Fani, a brutal dacoit leader, earning widespread acclaim for his goriest and chilling performance. Following the success of his movie Kill, the actor switched to playing a cop in the Zee5 Global show Gyaarah Gyaarah. &nbsp;

Now, Juyal is back with his villainous role on the big screen with his action-thriller Yudhra, co-starring Siddhant Chaturvedi.

Speaking exclusively to WION, Juyal reflected on how his whole job profile has changed suddenly post the success of the movie Kill and other acting projects. "My entire job profile has shifted suddenly," he shared.

While talking about acting, when asked whether he takes references from other actors or films to prepare for his role, Juyal was clear: "I don’t take references because it boxes me it limits me. And, I don’t want to be limited as an actor. So I don’t do references and it’s a big no-no. It’s very risky for an actor also.''

Sharing a tip for the budding actors, Raghav said, ''For the new actors I can say that you can be inspired by cinema and the films, but taking references for your character might be dangerous. It's the most dangerous thing for an actor to do. Because then it blocks your imagination and you will be influenced by something that has already been played by someone. You won’t be as individual as you want to be as an actor. So, I don’t do.''

Explaining his view further, he said, ''If you are playing the character of a sociopath or a psychopath, you can watch documentaries, &nbsp;their interviews and documentaries and try to study their criminal files and profiling. Those things help you form your behaviour&nbsp;according to your imagination. But, if you start thinking that if I want to become a villain then I must watch Joker from The Batman, then I will be another Joker. I won’t be a Raghav Juyal as Fani [A character in the movie Kill].''

During the interview, Juyal also shared his thoughts on promoting films and giving media interviews, answering repetitive questions.&nbsp;

''The thing that I enjoy the most about these interviews is sometimes, while answering questions I get to know a lot about myself and discover new things. It also helps me become a better orator day by day while giving these interviews. And obviously, patience, I don’t need to rush to the answers, I just need to be there and be present in the moment. I also love that one repeated question that, 'Tell me about the character and story', I’m so bored of that.''

Raghav Juyal, who first made a name for himself on Indian television, saw his career take a major turn after Kill. His latest film, Yudhra, produced by Excel Entertainment, is now playing in theatres.

Raghav Juyal needs no introduction. After captivating the country with his dance moves and quirky humour, Juyal is now making waves with his acting performances.

Raghav Juyal needs no introduction. After captivating the country with his dance moves and quirky humour, Juyal is now making waves with his acting performances. In Nikhil Nagesh Bhat's Kill, Juyal shocked moviegoers with his performance as Fani, a brutal dacoit leader, earning widespread acclaim for his goriest and chilling performance. Following the success of his movie Kill, the actor switched to playing a cop in the Zee5 Global show Gyaarah Gyaarah. Now, Juyal is back with his villainous role on the big screen with his action-thriller Yudhra, co-starring Siddhant Chaturvedi. Speaking exclusively to WION, Juyal reflected on how his whole job profile has changed suddenly post the success of the movie Kill and other acting projects. "My entire job profile has shifted suddenly," he shared. While talking about acting, when asked whether he takes references from other actors or films to prepare for his role, Juyal was clear: "I don’t take references because it boxes me it limits me. And, I don’t want to be limited as an actor. So I don’t do references and it’s a big no-no. It’s very risky for an actor also.''

'It limits me': Raghav Juyal on why he never takes references for his roles from other actors | Interview

One of the men responsible for the 2021 killing of rapper Young Dolph has been sentenced to life in prison. On Thursday, September 26, Justin Johnson was found guilty of first-degree murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, the Shelby County District Attorney’s Office announced.

Young Dolph, born Adolph Robert Thornton Jr., was shot and killed at the age of 36 outside Makeda’s Butter Cookies, a local business in Memphis, on November 17, 2021. After nearly four hours of jury deliberation, Johnson was convicted on all counts and received a life sentence.

During the four-day trial, co-defendant Cornelius Smith testified that he and Johnson were offered $40,000 each to shoot the rapper. Smith revealed that Hernandez Govan was the main culprit who organised the "hit". Smith alleges that he was following instructions from Anthony Mims aka Big Jook, the brother of Memphis rapper Yo Gotti.&nbsp;

Mims was allegedly supposed to pay Govan $10,000 for the murder. Mims himself was shot and killed in Memphis in January and no arrests have been made in connection to his death.

Following the verdict, Young Dolph's sister Carlissa Thornton shared an emotional statement with the media.

"On November 17, 2021, our lives changed forever. A son, a father, a brother, a friend, a businessman, a music artist, a philanthropist, and life partner are among just some of the titles that my brother Adolph Robert Thornton Jr. held. Titles that have now left a missing piece in the lives of so many. I want to thank the jury for their service and decision in this case to bring us one step closer to justice for our family, friends, supporters, and the community that has supported us during this time," she said.

“We ask that instead of focusing on those who committed this crime, you focus on that man that Adolph Robert Thornton was... We ask you to remember the man who enjoyed being a father and spending time with his family. We ask that you remember the man who enjoyed giving opportunities to those who were often overlooked and counted out,” Thornton added.

Kate Winslet, Joey King among talents who will be honoured at 'Women in Film' event

Zeenat Aman took a trip down memory lane and shared a still from her iconic song "Dum Maaro Dum" from the 1971 film Hare Rama Hare Krishna on Instagram. In the caption, she revealed that she was stoned for the most part of the song's shooting because Dev Anand wanted "authenticity" in the song.

“We were in Kathmandu shooting Hare Rama Hare Krishna, and Dev Saab had rounded up a gaggle of hippies from the streets to be featured in the song. Which song? The picture is a dead giveaway - Dum Maro Dum of course!” wrote the veteran actress.

She added, “The hippy extras were delighted with their good fortune. They were not only getting to pack their chillums with hashish in beautiful Nepal, they were also getting free food, going to feature in a Bollywood movie, and were being paid to boot!”

Recalling how Dev Anand asked her to be authentic for the song, she said, “Now Dev Saab wanted authenticity in this sequence. My character, the drug-addled Janice, had to really look stoned. And the easiest way to achieve this was to partake in the hippy offerings! So there I was, still in my teens, gamely taking long pulls from their chillum for take after take. By the time we wrapped the day’s work, I was high as a kite! I was in no state to return to the hotel in that happy, dizzy, and slightly formless haze. So some of the team members packed me into a car and took me on a drive to a beautiful vantage point. There in the cold mountain air, I contemplated the Himalayas and slowly, peacefully came down from my high.”

She also spoke about her mother's reaction to her getting high for the song. "I later found out that my mother was furious when she learned what happened, and gave the senior crew members a sharp tongue lashing for allowing her precious child to “do drugs”! Luckily, I was spared her wrath. Well, what can I say, it was the 70s, and I was something of a flower child," she added.

"Dum Maaro Dum" is a cult song from the 70s that many still listen to and cherish. It was written by Anand Bakshi, composed by RD Burman, and sung by Asha Bhosle.

Next, Zeenat will feature in The Royals, which also stars Ishaan Khatter, Bhumi Pednekar, Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, and Milind Soman.&nbsp;

Zeenat Aman took a trip down memory lane and shared a still from her iconic song "Dum Maaro Dum" from the 1971 film Hare Rama Hare Krishna on Instagram. In the caption, she revealed that she was stoned for the most part of the song's shooting because Dev Anand wanted "authenticity" in the song.

Which song? The picture is a dead giveaway - Dum Maro Dum of course!” wrote the veteran actress. She added, “The hippy extras were delighted with their good fortune. They were not only getting to pack their chillums with hashish in beautiful Nepal, they were also getting free food, going to feature in a Bollywood movie, and were being paid to boot!” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zeenat Aman (@thezeenataman) Recalling how Dev Anand asked her to be authentic for the song, she said, “Now Dev Saab wanted authenticity in this sequence.

Audiences summon 'Beetlejuice' to top of N. America box office for third week

On Monday, the Film Federation of India (FFI) announced that Kiran Rao's Laapataa Ladies is India's official entry for Oscars 2025. The film was in contention with 29 other films like Kalki 2898 AD, Animal, Chandu Champion, Srikanth and Sam Bahadur. The decision was taken unanimously by a 13-member select committee headed by Assamese director Jahnu Barua.

A major reason for the film winning hearts across the nation was the film's female protagonist Phool Kumari, played by Nitanshi Goel. After she gets separated from her husband on the train, she proves herself to be immensely resourceful, determined and strong. Despite being naïve, she manages to survive alone at a railway station and learn new things during the hard times.

Here are 5 things all the girls can learn from Phool Kumari.

Being resourceful: Despite being all alone in a new place, Phool manages to win Manju Maai's heart. She even convinced Manju Maai to hire her at her tea stall. She proved to be resourceful and found creative ways to overcome obstacles.&nbsp;

Adapting and not sulking: Getting stuck in a railway station wasn't something Phool had in mind when she stepped out of her home after the marriage. But instead of sulking at her situation, she decides to adapt to the hardships and pave her own path.

Welcoming criticism: Manju Maai wasn't too easy on Phool. But she decided to accept the criticism and learn from it.

Not losing hope: Phool never loses hope when her husband doesn't turn up at the railway station even after a few days. She remained optimistic that her husband would find her one day.

Never stop learning: Phool is always keen on learning new things. Seeing Manju Maai run her small business, she learns how to be independent and utilise her skills to earn a living.

Coldplay India Tour adds new date after 'phenomenal demand': Check details inside

Pop singer Chappell Roan, whose rise to stardom has been nothing short of meteoric, recently revealed her struggle with severe depression. In a new interview, the 26-year-old singer opened up about her mental health battle and how fame has changed her life.

“I went to a psychiatrist last week because I was like, I don’t know what’s going on,” Roan told The Guardian. “She diagnosed me with severe depression – which I didn’t think I had because I’m not actually sad. But I have every symptom of someone who’s severely depressed.”

Roan described her symptoms, which include brain fog, forgetfulness, poor focus and what she called “a very lacklustre viewpoint” on life. She believes her mental health issues stem from how quickly her life has changed over the past year as she transitioned from being an underground pop sensation to a global superstar.

“Everything that I really love to do now comes with baggage,” she explained, reflecting on how her new fame has altered even simple activities. “If I want to go thrifting, I have to book security and prepare myself that this is not going to be normal. Going to the park, pilates, yoga – how do I do this in a safe way where I’m not going to be stalked or harassed?”

Roan has been open with her fans about the challenges of handling her sudden fame. In June, during a concert, she admitted that she was “having a really hard time” adjusting to the pressures of her new life. In August, she spoke out against the aggressive behaviour of some fans. On TikTok, she expressed her frustration with those who harass her in public or expect her to always be available for photos and interactions.

“I don’t care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous or a little famous,” Roan said in her TikTok video. “I don’t give a f–k if you think it’s selfish of me to say no for a photo or for your time or for a hug – that’s not normal, that’s weird!”

Roan insisted that it’s not the fame she’s upset about but the mistreatment that often comes with it. “I feel like fame is just abusive,” she said in a recent interview. “The vibe of this – stalking, talking s–t online, [people who] won’t leave you alone, yelling at you in public – is the vibe of an abusive ex-husband.”

Chappell Roan’s career breakthrough came with the release of her first full album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.

In a new interview, the 26-year-old singer opened up about her mental health battle and how fame has changed her life. “I went to a psychiatrist last week because I was like, I don’t know what’s going on,” Roan told The Guardian. “She diagnosed me with severe depression – which I didn’t think I had because I’m not actually sad. But I have every symptom of someone who’s severely depressed.” Roan described her symptoms, which include brain fog, forgetfulness, poor focus and what she called “a very lacklustre viewpoint” on life. She believes her mental health issues stem from how quickly her life has changed over the past year as she transitioned from being an underground pop sensation to a global superstar. “Everything that I really love to do now comes with baggage,” she explained, reflecting on how her new fame has altered even simple activities. “If I want to go thrifting, I have to book security and prepare myself that this is not going to be normal. Going to the park, pilates, yoga – how do I do this in a safe way where I’m not going to be stalked or harassed?” Roan has been open with her fans about the challenges of handling her sudden fame. In June, during a concert, she admitted that she was “having a really hard time” adjusting to the pressures of her new life. In August, she spoke out against the aggressive behaviour of some fans. On TikTok, she expressed her frustration with those who harass her in public or expect her to always be available for photos and interactions. “I don’t care that abuse and harassment, stalking, whatever, is a normal thing to do to people who are famous or a little famous,” Roan said in her TikTok video. “I don’t give a f–k if you think it’s selfish of me to say no for a photo or for your time or for a hug – that’s not normal, that’s weird!” Roan insisted that it’s not the fame she’s upset about but the mistreatment that often comes with it. “I feel like fame is just abusive,” she said in a recent interview. “The vibe of this – stalking, talking s–t online, [people who] won’t leave you alone, yelling at you in public – is the vibe of an abusive ex-husband.” Chappell Roan’s career breakthrough came with the release of her first full album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess.

Lovebirds Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi are preparing to walk down the aisle for the second time! The pair have planned a grand wedding ceremony in Italy this weekend. After tying the knot in a private ceremony back in May, the celebrity couple has now set their sights on a massive celebration in Florence.

The festivities began in the UK, where Millie and Jake kicked things off with a family dinner at Sheesh. According to a source who spoke to The Sun, the couple celebrated with Millie’s parents Kelly and Robert Brown among other family members.

“They were sipping on lychee martinis and strawberry daiquiris, but kept things relatively low-key since they had a flight to Italy the next day,” the source shared.

The couple’s upcoming Italian wedding is shaping up to be a star-studded affair with a famous British singer reportedly booked to perform at the afterparty.

A source told Page Six, “She’s one of the biggest names in music this year, and Millie and Jake are thrilled she’s coming just for them.”&nbsp;

Erik Menendez has come forward to express his disappointment with his portrayal in Ryan Murphy's latest true-crime anthology series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story. The series premiered on Netflix on Thursday.

In a statement shared on Lyle's Facebook page, Erik called out the series' "inaccurate" depiction of the trial he and his brother underwent in 1989 for the murders of their parents José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menéndez.

"I believed we had moved beyond the lies and ruinous character portrayals of Lyle, creating a caricature of Lyle rooted in horrible and blatant likes rampant in the show," said Erik. "I can only believe they were done so on purpose. It is with a heavy heart that I say, I believe Ryan Murphy cannot be this naive and inaccurate about the facts of our lives so as to do this without bad intent."

"It is sad for me to know that Netflix’s dishonest portrayal of the tragedies surrounding our crime had taken the painful truths several steps backwards — back through time to an era when the prosecution built a narrative on a belief system that males were not sexually abused, and that males experienced rape trauma differently than women," he continued. "Those awful lies have been disrupted and exposed by countless brave victims over the last two decades who have broken through their personal shame and bravely spoken out."&nbsp;

"So now Murphy shapes his horrible narrative through vile and appalling character portrayals of Lyle and of me and disheartening slander. Is the truth not enough?" concluded Erik.

The series features Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch&nbsp;as Lyle and Erik Menéndez. It also stars Javier Bardem, Chloë Sevigny, Nathan Lane and Ari Graynor.

For those unaware, Lyle and Erik Menendez were convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents. They were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

The Oscars Academy will hold its first award ceremony outside the United States next month, handing out prestigious annual student awards in London.

The gala on October 14 in the British capital's Leicester Square will be an international first for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, whose membership has grown sharply more global in recent years.

Winners, pre-announced this week, will include "Au Revoir Mon Monde," a French animation about a man trapped in a giant fish costume attempting to race across a city as the world ends in a mysterious meteor shower.

Others include an experimental movie about teenage sexual awakening from Taiwan, a short film set during China's 1910 plague outbreak, and a documentary from a Rohingya refugee camp in Bangladesh.

Gold, silver and bronze placements for the winners will be announced at the ceremony, with all winning films eligible to compete at the main Oscars next March.

While the 51st Student Academy Awards will be the first full, live award show taking place overseas, segments of Oscars telecasts have previously been presented from overseas.

Diana Ross performed a song from Amsterdam in 1976, Michael Caine introduced the 1991 Oscars from a historic Paris cafe, and the following year's ceremony even featured a live presentation honouring "Star Wars" creator George Lucas from aboard the Space Shuttle Atlantis.&nbsp;

One-fifth of Academy members are now from outside the US, and more than half of the new members invited to join this year were also from overseas, including "Anatomy of a Fall" director Justine Triet and the film's star Sandra Hueller.

Past winners at the Academy's student awards include a young Spike Lee, "Back To The Future" filmmaker Robert Zemeckis and 007 director Cary Fukunaga.

The invite-only Academy -- whose members have achieved excellence in their respective fields, from acting and directing to costume design and makeup -- votes for each year's Oscar prize winners.

Selena Gomez is hitting back at the trolls! The Only Murders in the Building star has never shied away from talking about her struggles, whether it was her mental health or her bipolar disorder. Recently, the actress shared that she might not be able to carry children due to her bipolar disorder medications.&nbsp;

After Gomez's big revelation, she faced a lot of hatred from the trollers on social media, who targeted her for being vulnerable.&nbsp;

Slamming the trolls, the 32-year-old star during her presence at a Women in Film dinner in Beverly Hills said, “I truly believe that there is power in being vulnerable and telling people when you need help or when you want help — that is not shameful.”

F–k off: Selena Gomez on being trolled after sharing that she can't carry kids

Demi Moore recently opened up about her unconventional childhood. During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show, the 61-year-old actress shared a story about how her parents allowed her to drive on the freeway at the young age of 13 despite not having a license.

"Driving on the freeway, I mean, my parents would say, 'Okay, here's the deal. You can take the car. If you get stopped, you just have to say you took the car without permission,'" Moore recalled. "They kind of saw that as a win-win for everybody, but that is lunacy."

In a candid 2019 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Moore recalled a traumatic childhood moment when she helped save her mother from a drug overdose by using her small fingers to dig pills out of her mother's mouth.

While Moore’s biological father was Charles Harmon Sr., she was primarily raised by her stepdad Dan Guynes. Tragically, Guynes died by suicide in 1980 when Moore was just 18 years old.&nbsp;

Despite these difficult experiences, Moore told Barrymore that she has learned to accept her parents’ limitations, stating, "I accept that my parents did the best they could, and my mom did the best she could with the level of consciousness and awareness that she had at the time."

The actress also spoke about how her experience as a mother has given her new insights into her own mother’s struggles. Moore shares three daughters, Rumer, 36, Scout, 33, and Tallulah, 30, with ex-husband Bruce Willis. Becoming a parent herself helped her understand that her mother’s failures were not from a lack of love but from her own search for happiness and fulfilment.&nbsp;

"I don't think my mother came into this world with the intention to be less than nurturing, to be neglectful, to not really be able to show up as a parent for me," Moore reflected. "I think she came in with the innocence of a soul that wanted to find happiness, to feel love and to confirm. And when I look and find the compassion for my mother, I know that in that, I then open the pathway for my children to have compassion for me."

Barrymore, who has had her own share of complex family dynamics, resonated with Moore’s words, saying, "And that is why I say to my mom, 'I love you,' because the hard, weird, crazy choices you made led me to here."

South Korean pistol shooter Kim Ye-ji, whose skill and nonchalance won the internet at the Paris Olympics, has landed her first acting role -- as an assassin.

The 32-year-old took silver in the women's 10m air pistol in July and her ultra-calm demeanour, combined with her wire-rimmed shooting glasses and baseball cap, turned her into a worldwide online sensation.

As videos of her shooting went viral, she drew praise from celebrities such as Elon Musk. 
"She should be cast in an action movie. No acting required!" Musk wrote on his social media platform X at the time.

Now she will play an assassin in "Crush", a spinoff short-form series of the global film project "Asia", a spokesperson for Seoul-based entertainment firm Asia Lab told AFP on Friday.

Kim will star alongside Indian actress and influencer Anushka Sen, the company said in a separate statement, saying it was excited to witness "the potential synergy that will arise from Kim Ye-ji and Anushka Sen's new transformation into a killer duo".

Since winning silver, a short clip showing Kim at the Baku World Cup in May has gone viral, spawning fan art, endless memes and multiple edits setting the clip to K-pop.

Kim signed with a South Korean talent agency in August to assist her in managing her extracurricular activities and she has since been featured in a magazine photoshoot for Louis Vuitton.

The retired tennis icon, who shares Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. and Adira River Ohanian with her husband and Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, revealed that her eldest daughter is a huge Taylor Swift fan and she chooses the singer over princesses and fairies.&nbsp;

“Olympia just turned 7, and she’s not into princesses. She’s into Taylor Swift,” Williams shared, laughing. “I am, too.”

The conversation soon turned to the challenges of raising children in an increasingly digital world. Williams admitted that parenting today comes with its unique set of concerns.&nbsp;

“It’s a scary world. It’s a digital world for kids right now,” Williams said. “I’m always on with my daughter, but we don’t allow her on certain platforms.”&nbsp;

“It's so interesting that with everything available online and the access that kids have — in a second, you never know what can come to them,” the Olympic gold medalist added. “Like I said, I'm trying to think positively. I feel like we might try to take it slow with her and go a little bit slower with electronics, and just let her be a kid for as long as you can.”

Despite being a global superstar, Williams approaches parenting with humility, admitting that she is always open to learning new things. “Please give me [parenting tips], thank you very much!” she joked, before admitting, “I don’t have any [advice]. Wake up, that’s all I do. I could barely wake up today!”

She also shared her philosophy on what it means to be a champion in life. “You don’t have to be winning Wimbledon or a gold medal to be a champion. Being a champion is really just being there for your kids. I think that’s a huge champion,” she added.

Taylor Swift craze! Serena Williams' daughter prefers singer over princesses and fairies

With tears in their eyes, a packed cinema of Argentines were confronted this week, some not for the first time, with the horrors of the so-called "death flights" carried out by the country's 1976-1983 military dictatorship.

They had gathered in Buenos Aires for one of the first domestic screenings of "Traslados" ("Transferred") -- an investigative documentary on a very dark chapter of the South American country's not-too distant history.

The title refers to prisoners -- activists and others viewed as enemies of the military junta -- who were rounded up on the pretext of being "transferred," then loaded into planes and thrown out over the River Plate, some already dead but many still alive.

Many were tortured before. There are still large gaps in what is known about the flights, including the identities of many of the victims.&nbsp;

The new film "puts evidence on the table, brings together all the pieces and everything known... about the 'death flights,'" director Nicolas Gil Lavedra told AFP ahead of the screening in Buenos Aires.

The documentary includes dramatized reenactments based on testimonies from dictatorship survivors, the work of researchers and archival material.

"There are no partisan or subjective opinions, there are facts and there is evidence," insisted Lavedra.&nbsp; 
He said the 90-minute feature was mainly aimed at people born after the dictatorship under which about 30,000 people were killed or disappeared, according to rights groups.

"I think it's essential for young people today to know what happened," Octavia Ortuno, a 24-year-old Bolivian psychology student at the University of Buenos Aires, told AFP after the screening.&nbsp;

- 'Justice, truth and memory' -

"Traslados" will be shown at the San Sebastian International Film Festival in Spain next Tuesday.&nbsp;

This comes as the sector reels from deep budget cuts inflicted by self-declared "anarcho capitalist" President Javier Milei.

A central theme of "Traslados" is the fate of Esther Ballestrino, Azucena Villaflor and Maria Ponce -- the founders of the "Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo" group fighting for answers on the fate of the disappeared.

They were kidnapped along with French nuns Alice Domon and Leonie Duquet and seven other activists, and thrown from a plane on the night of December 14, 1977, according to a reconstruction of events.

The 12 were identified by a former marine, Alfredo Astiz, who had infiltrated the "Mothers of Plaza de Mayo" and is serving life imprisonment for his role in the deaths.

In July this year, a group of lawmakers from Milei's party visited Astiz and others convicted of crimes against humanity in prison, an event that created an uproar in the country.&nbsp;

"This documentary shows that they are criminals serving a sentence for crimes against humanity," said Lavedra.

The filmmaker, who had previously made a film about human rights activist Estela de Carlotto -- president of the "Mothers" group -- is the son of a judge who had presided over post-dictatorship trials.

For him, the after-effects of Argentina's dark past can only be overcome "by having a collective memory. The whole society has to understand that the dictatorship was state terrorism and we all have to condemn it.

"The only way we have to heal that wound is with justice, truth and memory," said Lavedra.

Argentina's dictatorship was one of the most brutal of the slew of military regimes that sowed terror in Latin America from the 1960s through the 1980s.

Milei, however, has questioned the number of disappeared, raising the ire of many Argentines. 
Leaving the screening of "Traslados" last week, Victor Fuks, 74, told AFP the film had touched him "in a very special way."

He had fled to Spain in 1977 to escape the dictatorship, as "a lot of friends, colleagues... were disappearing."

Taal@25: Aishwarya Rai's iconic musical drama to re-release on big screen on this day

When Colin Farrell looked in the mirror after donning prosthetic makeup for his role as the title character in the Max series The Penguin,&nbsp;he could no longer recognize himself.

“I looked in the mirror, and I saw something looking back that was not me,” the Irish actor said.

Farrell added that, except for his hands, every part of his body was transformed by The Penguin&nbsp;designer Mike Marino.

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-oscars-2025-france-to-send-emilia-perez-for-best-international-feature-759988">Oscars 2025: France to send Emilia Perez for Best International Feature</a>

The crime drama series is based on the popular DC Comics villain named Penguin and serving as a spinoff of the 2022 film The Batman,&nbsp;which Farrell also starred in as the Penguin. It unpacks Oswald “Oz” Cobb’s - AKA the Penguin’s - rise to power through crime in fictional Gotham City.

Along with the The Banshees of Inisherin&nbsp;actor, the series stars Cristin Milioti as Sofia Falcone, heiress of a mob family, and Rhenzy Feliz as Victor Aguilar, a teenager who becomes the Penguin’s driver.

"Sofia comes from such astronomical wealth, and Victor and Oz come from the rough, poor, side of the city," Milioti said of the main characters.

"Yet they all go through these horrible things," she added.

The show is produced by DC Studios in association with Warner Bros. Television and arrives on Max on Thursday. All three are units of Warner Bros. Discovery.

For Farrell, what he calls his “powerful transformation” into the Penguin wasn’t just about external alterations to his appearance; it was a psychological change.

“There was a particular internal change that happened with such an abundance of external brilliance that was placed upon me,” he said.

Like Farrell, Feliz was taken off guard by the striking difference in Farrell’s appearance for his sinister role.

“You know it’s Colin doing the thing, but then it’s like a magic trick going on because your brain’s telling you that it looks like Oz, but your brain knows that it’s Colin,” Feliz said.

Milioti also found herself impressed by the makeup used in the show.

“The makeup is so real, there’s not a part of it that looks like someone’s in makeup. It moves, it feels real,” she said.

However, it was her co-star's connection to the character that Milioti found especially interesting.

“Colin is in such communion with that character,” she said.

On set, Milioti saw Farrell dressed as Oz more than she saw him dressed as his normal self.

“Even if he would still talk, like ‘How was your weekend?’ I was with the visual of Oz cuz I do feel like I know this other person that’s very real to me and very real to him, and real to all of us that were there.” she said.

A day after his arrest by federal agents, Sean "Diddy" Combs was indicted on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. The music mogul was taken into custody at a hotel in Manhattan by Homeland Security Investigations agents on Monday (Sep 16).

Diddy's lawyer defended his client outside the federal courthouse in New York and vowed to "fight like hell" to get his client released. He also revealed that Diddy is going to plead not guilty.

“He’s going to fight this with all of his energy and all of his might and the full confidence of his lawyers, and I expect a long battle with a good result for Mr Combs," Agnifilo said.

In a statement given right after the arrest, Diddy's attorney called the arrest an "unjust prosecution".&nbsp;

"Sean 'Diddy' Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community," Agnifilo told People.

"He is an imperfect person but he is not a criminal. To his credit, Mr Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges," Agnifilo continued. "Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court."

Sean "Diddy" Combs is facing a series of civil lawsuits alleging a range of abusive behaviours, including sexual harassment, rape, nonconsensual pornography, and sex trafficking. The legal saga began in November 2023 when singer Cassie Ventura, Combs' former partner, filed a federal lawsuit alleging a pattern of physical and sexual abuse throughout their relationship.

Following Ventura's lawsuit, three more women and one man came forward with similar allegations against Combs. Liza Gardner accused Combs of sexually assaulting her in 1990 or 1991, while Joi Dickerson-Neal alleged he drugged and assaulted her in 1991.
