Coachella 2022: The Weeknd & Swedish House Mafia replace Kanye West

April 7th is celebrated as World Health Day all around the world. This special day is to create global health awareness and marks the founding of the World Health Organization.

April 7th is celebrated as World Health Day all around the world. This special day is to create global health awareness and marks the founding of the World Health Organization. When it comes to health and fitness, celebrities never fail to motivate their fans to take up a healthy lifestyle. They inspire us to stay fit, not just physically but also mentally. Here's a list of five celebs who have recently turned fitter and in turn have been inspiring us. 1. Richa Chadha: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Richa Chadha (@therichachadha) × Recently, Richa Chadha has been quite in the news for her rigorous workout videos. In fact, she stunned everyone with her most recent weight loss pictures that she shared on her social media. Richa propagates healthy weight loss and speaks a lot about the fads and myths surrounding losing weight and her profile is always an air of freshness and truth amidst the constructed lies surrounding the market, which is a plain inspiration to many! 2. Rajkummar Rao: View this post on Instagram A post shared by RajKummar Rao (@rajkummar_rao) × Rajkummar believes in preparing his body for each and every that he takes up, hence he went ‘Eat. Sleep. Lift. Repeat’ for his parts in 'Chhalaang' and most recently 'Badhaai Do', both of which required him to be in a good shape physically. His Instagram suggests that the actor believes more in outdoor working out sessions like swimming, sports, and anything that can be done on a piece of grass in the form of stretching. Working out in the open keeps the body athletic and increases stamina more than performing the same task inside a gymnasium, and his style of keeping his exercises and workouts natural is nothing short of motivation to many! 3. Emraan Hashmi: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Emraan Hashmi (@therealemraan) × Emraan Hashmi has joined the gang of ripped Bollywood hunks lately. Ahead of his role in the third installment of YRF's super successful tiger franchise, the actor has been on a rigorous workout schedule. He has often shared his weekly workout plan and diet charts on his Instagram handle and it is a thorough mix of strength, endurance, and cardio training. This serves as a good motivation for all his fans! 4. Sanya Malhotra: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sanya Malhotra💥 (@sanyamalhotra_) × We all know Sanya Malhotra is a pro at keeping fit. Even before she started her Bollywood career, she was often spotted by the paparazzi out and about going to the gym, even if that was for her physically demanding role in the all-time Bollywood blockbuster, 'Dangal'. There are a lot of videos on social media where she can be seen practising swift moves and intense push-ups, giving us total goals. She spends a lot of time sweating it out in the gym. After all, one needs to work harder and longer to maintain the body which everybody admires. 5. Adarsh Gourav: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Adarsh Gourav (@gouravadarsh) × Adarsh Gourav rose to fame with the Netflix original film, 'The White Tiger' co-starring Priyanka Chopra and Rajkummar Rao. He has ever since been in the news for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and inspiring everyone around while he is at it. The young actor's fitness routine includes yoga, pranayama, lifting weights at the gym, and doing other physical activities.

What a night! From electrifying performances to soulful tributes: Best moments from Grammys 2022

<p>The music industry hands out its top honours on Sunday with acts from teen sensation Olivia Rodrigo to awards darling Billie Eilish and rapper Lil Nas X competing at a star-studded Grammys ceremony in Las Vegas.<br />
<br />
Grammy watchers say it is tough to predict who will take the biggest prizes other than the best new artist, which is widely expected to go to 19-year-old Rodrigo. Her song "drivers license" went viral in early 2021.<br />
<br />
Rodrigo also is nominated for album, song and record of the year. If she wins all of those categories, she would become just the third person in Grammys history to sweep the four main awards.<br />
<br />
The last artist to accomplish that feat was Eilish at the 2020 Grammys when she was 18. Now 20, Eilish is in the running again for album of the year with "Happier Than Ever."</p>

<br />
Competitors for the album trophy include Rodrigo`s 'Sour,'&nbsp;Kanye West`s 'Donda,'&nbsp;Jon Batiste's 'We Are,'&nbsp;and Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga's&nbsp;'Love for Sale.'<br />
<br />
Justin Bieber's 'Justice'&nbsp;also is in the mix, along with Doja Cat's 'Planet Her,'&nbsp;H.E.R.'s 'Back of My Mind,'&nbsp;Lil Nas X's 'Montero'&nbsp;and Taylor Swift`s 'Evermore.'<br />
<br />
Batiste leads all nominees with 11 nods ranging from classical composition and American roots to his music video 'Freedom'&nbsp;and album 'We Are,'&nbsp;which was inspired by the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020.<br />
<br />
This year`s Grammys were pushed to April from January because of a COVID-19 surge at the beginning of the year. The date swap forced a change in venue from Los Angeles to the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.</p>

Iconic fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier has passed away on Thursday at age 78. Demarchelier, who once worked as Princess Diana's personal photographer, has shot some of the most iconic pictures of the late royal, including one beaming into the camera while hugging her knees and wearing a white strapless dress and a tiara, as well as another of her in a black turtleneck.

Iconic fashion photographer Patrick Demarchelier has passed away on Thursday at age 78. Demarchelier, who once worked as Princess Diana's personal photographer, has shot some of the most iconic pictures of the late royal, including one beaming into the camera while hugging her knees and wearing a white strapless dress and a tiara, as well as another of her in a black turtleneck. His family announced his death on his Instagram account. ''It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Patrick Demarchelier on March 31st 2022, at the age of 78. He is survived by his wife Mia, his three sons Gustaf, Arthur, Victor and three grandchildren,'' the post reads. View this post on Instagram A post shared by info@demarchelierfineart.com (@patrickdemarchelier) × His cause of death has not yet been revealed. The ace photographer, who was once described by Diana as a “dream”, worked with many of Hollywood’s biggest stars and countless supermodels, including Madonna, Kate Moss, Christy Turlington, Naomi Campbell and Linda Evangelista, Angelina Jolie, Robert DeNiro, Anthony Hopkins, Oprah and many others. In 1989, Demarchelier's work attracted Diana's eyes, who hired him as her personal photographer later. He made history as the first non-British photographer ever to be hired by the British Royal Family. Several celebrities have mourned the loss. Hailey Bieber took to her Instagram stories to share a snap of herself with the photographer and wrote, "Rest in peace incredible @patrickdemarchelier" with a broken heart emoji Taking to Instagram stories, Priyanka Chopra shared a photo of herself clicked by Demarchelier and wrote, "Your legacy is timeless. RIP Patrick Demarchelier. An absolute honour to have worked with you."

Did you know in 94 years of the awards' history, only one man named Oscar has won the trophy? Ironically Oscar Hammerstein II is the only person named Oscar to ever win the Academy.&nbsp;He has been nominated twice for the award, and both the times he took the trophy home.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Hammerstein first won in 1942 with composer Jerome Kern for the song 'The Last Time I Saw Paris' and snagged a second win not long after the first win,&nbsp;in 1946 for 'It Might As Well Be Spring'&nbsp;for the film 'State Fair'&nbsp;with his longtime collaborator Richard Rodgers, with whom Hammerstein delivered a string of Broadway musical mega-hits.<br />
<br />
He is best known for his collaborations with composer Richard Rodgers, as the duo Rodgers and Hammerstein, whose musicals include 'Oklahoma!', 'Carousel', 'South Pacific', 'The King and I', and 'The Sound of Music'.</p>

Oscars 2022: From 'CODA' to Will Smith: Meet the big winners of the night

<p>The Oscars return to Hollywood on Sunday, as nominees from top contending films including 'CODA', 'The Power of the Dog'&nbsp;and 'Belfast'&nbsp;gather in a futuristic, glittering ballroom for the movie industry's biggest night.</p>

<p>After a year away from the Dolby Theatre due to the pandemic, the 94th Academy Awards are back in the heart of Tinseltown, where A-listers who have passed strict Covid-19 testing protocols will walk the red carpet in their finest gowns and tuxedos once again.</p>

<p>Dark, psychological Western 'The Power of the Dog'&nbsp;had looked set to earn Netflix its much-coveted first best picture statuette, but the race has been flung wide open in the past few weeks.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>'CODA'&nbsp;-- an uplifting drama from Apple+ TV about an eccentric deaf family, and their musical daughter who can hear -- has surged in popularity and is now tipped by many industry insiders as the favourite.</p>

<p>Either would be a historic first best picture win for a streaming service. Kenneth Branagh's childhood-inspired "Belfast" cannot be ruled out -- even if its director is one of several nominees whose presence at the Oscars was thrown into doubt by a positive Covid test last week.</p>

<p>"It's a two- or three-horse race," said Variety film awards editor Clayton Davis, who has witnessed "big momentum" for "CODA."</p>

<p>"People have had a very rough last two years. And 'CODA' is positive, it's feel-good. And I think voters are in a feel-good mood." "It's a very tight race," agreed Hollywood Reporter awards columnist Scott Feinberg.</p>

<p>Will Smith is the strong favorite for best actor for his turn as the father of Venus and Serena Williams in "King Richard."</p>

Oscars back in Hollywood as 'CODA' seeks top prize

<p>The ballots are all in!</p>

<p>Millions of television viewers around the globe will tune in Sunday to watch the Oscars, the glitziest night in showbiz, but most don't know how the winners are chosen.</p>

<p>Answer: nearly 9,500 people in the entertainment industry select the honorees. The number is again a record high this year. But who are they and how did they get to become voters?</p>

<p>Here is a look at the complex, sometimes confounding process that leads to the winners of the 23 Academy Awards, and the new fan favourite award:</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/photos/oscars-2022-five-things-to-watch-at-sundays-awards-ceremony-465505" hreflang="en">Oscars 2022: Five things to watch at this year's awards ceremony</a></p>

<p><strong>Who votes? -&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Los Angeles had 9,487 voting members as of mid-January, according to its website.</p>

<p>Academy membership is divided into 17 branches -- actors, directors, producers, costume designers and so on -- and candidates must be active or otherwise have "achieved distinction" in the industry.</p>

<p>Applicants must be sponsored by two Academy members representing their branch. Oscar winners and nominees are automatically considered for membership and do not need sponsors.</p>

<p>Applications are reviewed once a year in the spring by the Academy's Board of Governors, which has the final say on who joins the elite group.</p>

<p>Members used to enjoy voting rights for life but since 2016, "voting status" has been limited to 10 years, and is renewable, to avoid having voters who are no longer active in the business.</p>

<p>Lifetime voting rights only come after three 10-year terms. Those not active become "emeritus" members who cannot vote.</p>

<p><strong>Who are the Academy members? -&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>For a long time, the Academy did not reveal its voting roll, though nothing prevents a member from saying he or she can cast a ballot.</p>

<p>At the time of the #OscarsSoWhite uproar in 2015 and 2016, about the lack of nominees of colour, the Academy revealed that of its 6,000 members, 93 per cent were white and 76 per cent were men. The median age was 63.</p>

<p>The Academy announced it would double the number of women and minority members by 2020 to foster a more diverse environment.</p>

<p>Last year, it admitted just 395 new members, after years of rapid expansion to meet those goals. The 2021 class was 46 per cent female, 39 per cent of minority background, and more than half from outside the United States.</p>

<p><strong>How are the nominees chosen? -&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Members of each of the 17 branches pick the nominees in their area of expertise. The actors' branch -- the largest voting group -- submits nominations for the acting categories, directors submit nominations for best director and so on.</p>

<p>Nominations for certain awards, like for best international film and best-animated feature, are chosen by special committees.</p>

<p><strong>How are the winners chosen?&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>All voting members choose the winners.</p>

<p>In 22 of 23 categories, the person with the most votes is the winner.</p>

<p>But when it comes to the coveted best picture award, the Oscar voters have since 2009 used a complicated preferential ballot system in which they rank the films from most favourite to least favourite.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As of this year, the Academy has returned to featuring 10 nominees in the category. If one film garners more than 50 per cent of the vote outright, it automatically wins. Otherwise, the count unfolds in rounds -- the film that received the lowest number of first-place votes is eliminated and those votes given to it are then allocated to the voters' second choice.</p>

<p>Movie fans were able to vote up to 20 times per day until March 3. They also were asked to choose their favourite movie "cheer moment."</p>

After its ignominious demise on stage, the film version snagged Razzies for worst picture, worst actress for Jeanna deWaal in the title role, worst supporting actress for Judy Kaye, and worst director for Christopher Ashley.<br />
<br />
The Diana duo of Joe DiPietro and David Bryan claimed the worst screenplay for what the Razzies called "some of the year`s most ridiculed dialogue and lyrics, including rhyming `Camilla` with both `Manilla` and `Godzilla,`" the Razzies said in a statement announcing the winners.<br />
<br />
'Space Jam: A New Legacy'&nbsp;won three Razzies: worst actor for LeBron James, worst rip-off or sequel, and worst screen couple for James combined with any of the cartoon characters.<br />
<br />
The movie put the NBA star, shot in live action, in a cosmic basketball game with Looney Tunes characters, remaking the 1996 original with Michael Jordan.<br />
<br />
As usual, the Razzies ridiculed a former Oscar winner, naming Jared Leto worst supporting actor for his over-the-top performance as Paolo in&nbsp;"House of Gucci."<br />
<br />
The Razzies gave Bruce Willis his own special category, nominating him eight times for "Worst Performance by Bruce Willis in a 2021 Movie," in eight forgettable films. The one called "Cosmic Sin" took the prize.<br />
<br />
Four-time Razzie winner Will Smith received the only true honor, the redeemer award, for his role in "King Richard," for which Smith is also nominated for a best actor Oscar.<br />
<br />
The Razzies, the self-described "ugly cousin to the Oscars," started in 1980 as the Golden Raspberry Awards, created by UCLA film school graduates and film industry veterans John J.B. Wilson and Mo Murphy.<br />
<br />
More than 1,100 Razzie members from across the United States and about two dozen other countries vote on the awards, according to the Razzie website.</p>

<p>&nbsp;A portrait of actress Marilyn Monroe by 1960s pop icon Andy Warhol will go up for auction in May with an estimated value of $200 million, which would set a record, Christie`s announced on Monday.<br />
<br />
The work, 'Shot Sage Blue Marilyn,'&nbsp;"is poised to be the most expensive painting of the 20th century ever sold at auction," said Alex Rotter, Christie`s chairman of 20th and 21st-century art.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-missed-watching-83-in-theatres-heres-when-and-where-ranveer-singhs-film-will-release-on-ott-464452" hreflang="en">Missed watching 83' in theatres? Here's when and where Ranveer Singh's film will release on OTT</a><br />
<br />
The 1964 likeness of Monroe's face screen-printed with bright yellow hair, a pink face and light blue eyeshadow, is one of five paintings Warhol made of Monroe.</p>

<p><img alt="Marilyn" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="01079b1c-bc8d-4d66-8c15-5b643d67c3a5" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/happy%2030th%20birthday%20-%202022-03-22T104656.520.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Warhol "used a screening technique on these paintings, on this painting, that he never used again. It was way too complicated, way too involved," said Rotter.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-demi-moore-celebrates-ex-husband-bruce-willis-birthday-with-a-sweet-post-on-instagram-464402" hreflang="en">Demi Moore celebrates ex-husband Bruce Willis' birthday with a sweet post on Instagram</a><br />
<br />
The work comes from the Thomas and Doris Ammann Foundation in Zurich. All the proceeds of the sale will benefit the foundation, which is dedicated to improving the lives of children around the world.<br />
<br />

A portrait of actress Marilyn Monroe by 1960s pop icon Andy Warhol will go up for auction in May with an estimated value of $200 million, which would set a record, Christie`s announced on Monday. The work, 'Shot Sage Blue Marilyn,' "is poised to be the most expensive painting of the 20th century ever sold at auction," said Alex Rotter, Christie`s chairman of 20th and 21st-century art. Missed watching 83' in theatres? Here's when and where Ranveer Singh's film will release on OTT The 1964 likeness of Monroe's face screen-printed with bright yellow hair, a pink face and light blue eyeshadow, is one of five paintings Warhol made of Monroe. Warhol "used a screening technique on these paintings, on this painting, that he never used again. It was way too complicated, way too involved," said Rotter.

All the proceeds of the sale will benefit the foundation, which is dedicated to improving the lives of children around the world.

Baby boom! Celebrities expecting babies this year: Rihanna to Sonam Kapoor

<p>Britain's Prince&nbsp;William&nbsp;and&nbsp;his wife&nbsp;Kate&nbsp;arrive in Belize on Saturday for a week-long&nbsp;Caribbean&nbsp;tour&nbsp;that sparked controversy before it even began&nbsp;amid&nbsp;growing scrutiny of the British Empire's&nbsp;colonial&nbsp;ties to the region.</p>

<p>The arrival of the Duke&nbsp;and&nbsp;Duchess of Cambridge coincides with the celebration of Queen Elizabeth's 70th year on the throne,&nbsp;and&nbsp;comes nearly four months after Barbados voted to become a republic, cutting ties with the monarchy but remaining part of the British-led Commonwealth of Nations.</p>

<p>The queen's grandson&nbsp;and&nbsp;his wife are due to spend their first three days in Belize, formerly British Honduras. But on the eve of their departure, Belize officials said an event planned for Sunday was scrapped when a few dozen villagers staged a protest.</p>

<p>Residents of Indian Creek, an indigenous Maya village in southern Belize, told Reuters they were upset that the royal couple's helicopter had been granted permission to land&nbsp;on a local soccer field without prior consultation.</p>

<p>The village has for years been engaged in a land&nbsp;dispute with a conservation group supported by the royal family, stirring anger over&nbsp;colonial-era territorial settlements that are still contested by indigenous groups in the country.</p>

<p>A visit to a different site is being planned instead, Belize's government said. In a statement, Kensington Palace confirmed the schedule would be changed because of "sensitive issues" involving the Indian Creek community,&nbsp;and&nbsp;said more details would be provided in due course.</p>

<p>After Belize, the duke&nbsp;and&nbsp;duchess are due to move on to Jamaica&nbsp;and&nbsp;the Bahamas. Meetings&nbsp;and&nbsp;a variety of events are scheduled with politicians&nbsp;and&nbsp;a range of civic leaders.</p>

<p>Dickie Arbiter, Queen Elizabeth's press secretary from 1988 to 2000, described the&nbsp;tour&nbsp;as a goodwill visit that ought to give at least a temporary lift to the family's popularity.</p>

<p>Today, many people see the monarchy as an anachronism that should be let go, he said. But he expected that little would change while Elizabeth remained on the throne.</p>

<p>"The Royal Family is pragmatic," he said. "It knows it can't look at these countries as realm states forever&nbsp;and&nbsp;a day."</p>

<p>POPULAR OPINION</p>

<p>Debates over&nbsp;colonial-era oppression, including possible reparations for the descendants of slaves in Jamaica, could push more countries to emulate Barbados' recent move.</p>

<p>University of the West Indies Professor Carolyn Cooper said royal couple's visit would be unlikely to discourage Jamaica from opting for republic status.</p>

<p>"I think there is a groundswell of popular opinion against the monarchy," she said. Some in Belize, which gained independence from Britain only in 1981, speak warmly about remaining in the fold.</p>

<p>"I believe it's a wonderful opportunity for them to appreciate the country's multiculturalism, natural attractions,&nbsp;and&nbsp;to enjoy our culinary practices," said Joseline Ramirez, a manager in the Cayo district of western Belize.</p>

<p>But others are less enthusiastic. Alan Mckoy, a mechanic in Belize City, said he "couldn't care less" about the royal family. "They are no better than any of us," he said.</p>

<p>Kanye West has been in the news lately for his ongoing social media drama and now, the rapper&nbsp;has been barred from performing at the Grammy Awards due to his online behaviour.<br />
<br />
According to sources close to the rapper, his team received a phone, informing him that he had been “unfortunately” removed from the lineup of performers for the show due to his ''concerning online behaviour''.<br />
<br />
Responding to the claims, a rep for West sent Variety a link to that story, saying only “This is confirmed.”</p>

West, who has won 22 Grammys from 75 nominations, is up for five awards this year. Although his name was not among the first list of performers announced this week, he may have been a planned performer.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
A representative for the singer told the Blast, “Kanye’s team isn’t surprised by the decision” to drop him.<br />
<br />
This decision was made partially because of Trevor Noah, who is hosting this year's show on April 3 and there is worry about the two men’s might interaction during the show.&nbsp;</p>

Kanye recently responded to Noah after he addressed the rapper’s split from ex-wife Kim Kardashian. “I’ll be honest with you — what I see from the situation is a woman who wants to live her life without being harassed by an ex-boyfriend or an ex-husband or an ex-anything,” Noah said. &nbsp;<br />
In a since-removed post, West shared the lyrics to a well-known song about hope and togetherness but replaced one word with a like-sounding racial slur seemingly at Noah.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Other reasons that concerned the organisers about West, must be about his constant social media firing towards ex-wife Kim Kardashian, her beau Pete Davidson, and he might use his performance on live network television to continue his online harassment.<br />
<br />
This comes after his Instagram account was suspended for 24 hours.&nbsp;<br />

The couple's relationship became strained in 2020 when West, who suffers from bipolar disorder, ran an unsuccessful campaign marked by erratic statements to be elected US president under his self-styled birthday party.
