<p><em>Pacific Rim Uprising</em> actor Cailee Spaeny had to admit that things became bleak while filming the Disney, opens new tab movie <em>Alien: Romulus</em>, the latest installment in the popular <em>Alien</em>&nbsp;franchise, because characters were killed off regularly.</p>

<p>“Oh, it was always really sad when someone died, you know. Because we shot it chronologically. I think we were all getting really attached to each other,” Spaeny said.</p>

<p>“So, whenever a death came up, it sort of was a very emotional day,” added Spaeny, who plays the main protagonist named Rain Carradine.</p>

Yash Chopra stamp launched at Australian Parliament House; Rani Mukerji expresses gratitude

<p><em>Daughters</em>, a documentary about young girls and their incarcerated fathers, is both a healing tool for its subjects and a change-maker for communities, its directors say. The feature film follows four young Black girls; Aubrey, Santana, Razia and Ja'Ana, as they prepare for and participate in a father-daughter dance behind bars.</p>

<p>The dance takes place in a Washington D.C., jail, part of an initiative launched in Richmond, Virginia, by Angela Patton, founder of the Camp Diva Leadership Academy and CEO of Girls for a Change, which are both non-profit youth development groups.</p>

<p>Co-directed by Patton and Natalie Rae, <em>Daughters</em> delves into the girls' emotions as they get ready to see their fathers in person, some for the first time in years.</p>

<p>To take part in the dance, the fathers have to join a 12-week programme that includes group therapy sessions. They are given formal clothing to wear instead of their prison uniforms. The girls wear carefully chosen dresses for the dance, held in the prison gym.</p>

<p>The father-daughter duos are announced as they walk in, applauded by other participants seated around tables decorated with flowers and candles. During the dance, some hug and hold hands, while others appear more distant.</p>

<p>As they filmed what they thought would be the climax of their film, the emotion-laden dance, Rae and Patton realised they had to keep the cameras rolling.</p>

<p>Filming the girls for three more years resulted in "more of a coming of age film", Rae said.<br />
Patton said she wanted "to advance opportunities for Black girls and make sure that their voices were elevated.</p>

<p>"I see this as a way for a lot of people who are doing family strengthening work, family bonding work, people that are doing criminal justice work, women who need support because they are raising families alone, it can be a tool for so many purposes," she said.</p>

<p>To gain the girls' and their families' trust, Rae and Patton took time to get to know them. "There's no shortcut for that," said Rae. "It's just years and months and days of just being around and being part of birthday parties or visits to the hospital and cook outs.”</p>

<p><em>Daughters</em>, which opened at the Sundance Film Festival in January and won the Audience Award: U.S. Documentary and Festival Favorite Award, starts streaming on Netflix on Aug. 14.</p>

<p>Rumours of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai's divorce had taken social media by storm last month when they were spotted attending an event separately. Many speculated if the two stars were planning to get separated and move on in their lives. And their silence only made the rumours spread like wildfire.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, some media outlets recently reported that the actor has broken his silence over the separation rumours. However, it is far from the truth.</p>

<h2><strong>So what exactly caused the confusion?</strong></h2>

<p>The video currently doing rounds on the internet is actually from 2016.&nbsp;While attending&nbsp;the premiere of Aishwarya's 2016 film&nbsp;<em>Sarbjit</em>, the actor was asked&nbsp;if "things were not good" between him and Aishwarya. To which,&nbsp;Abhishek replied, "I don't have to say anything to you all about that."</p>

<p>In the same interview, he further added, "You all have blown the entire thing out of proportion, sadly. I understand, why you do it. You have to file some stories. It's okay, we're celebrities, we have to take it." He also showed off his wedding ring at the time and said, "Still married, sorry."</p>

<h2><strong>So, what triggered the divorce rumours?</strong></h2>

<p>Abhishek recently liked an Instagram post about divorce which many took as a hint at his failing marriage. The post read, "Yet, sometimes life doesn't unfold as we hoped. But how do people cope when they separate after decades together, after spending a significant portion of their lives relying on each other for both big and small things? What drives them to sever ties, and what challenges do they face? This story delves into these questions. Coincidentally, 'grey divorces' or 'silver splitters'-terms for those seeking marital dissolution typically after age 50-are on the rise globally. The reasons, though varied, are not surprising."</p>

<p>The actor also attended the Olympic Games without his better half, which further raised eyebrows. Many news outlets have even reported that the couple are living separately, however, it has not been confirmed by the family yet. Aishwarya has stayed silent on the matter, as of now.</p>

<p>Abhishek and Aishwarya exchanged wedding vows in 2007. In 2011, they welcomed their daughter Aaradhya into the family. The couple celebrated their 17th wedding anniversary in April.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tom Cruise, known for performing daredevil stunts with the utmost ease, capped off the 2024 Olympics by abseiling off the Stade de France roof and travelling all the way back to the United States with the Olympic flag.

'Sorry Kiara Advani': Model apologises to Sidharth Malhotra's wife after flirty video goes viral

<p>The wait is finally over. The title of <em>Avatar 3 </em>has been disclosed. On Friday, during the D23 expo, director James Cameron and stars Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington revealed the first official title for the third Avatar film as <em>Avatar: Fire and Ash</em>.</p>

<p>While James Cameron didn't preview any footage, he did showcase some concept art from the film, including Neytiri (Zoe) dancing over flames and riding banshees.</p>

<p>"You'll see a lot more pandora that you never saw before," Cameron said. "It's an insane adventure and a feast for the eyes, but it's also got very high emotional stakes, more than ever before," Cameron said during the presentation. "We're going into really challenging territory for all the characters you know and love."</p>

<p>Cameron shot Fire and Ash back-to-back with 2022's <em>Avatar: The Way of Water</em>, which depicts the war between humanity and the Na'vi after the rapacious Resources Development Administration (RDA) returns to the alien moon of Pandora.</p>

The wait is finally over. The title of Avatar 3 has been disclosed. On Friday, during the D23 expo, director James Cameron and stars Zoe Saldana and Sam Worthington revealed the first official title for the third Avatar film as Avatar: Fire and Ash. While James Cameron didn't preview any footage, he did showcase some concept art from the film, including Neytiri (Zoe) dancing over flames and riding banshees. "You'll see a lot more pandora that you never saw before," Cameron said. "It's an insane adventure and a feast for the eyes, but it's also got very high emotional stakes, more than ever before," Cameron said during the presentation. "We're going into really challenging territory for all the characters you know and love." Cameron shot Fire and Ash back-to-back with 2022's Avatar: The Way of Water, which depicts the war between humanity and the Na'vi after the rapacious Resources Development Administration (RDA) returns to the alien moon of Pandora.

Mufasa The Lion King trailer released! Here's everything you need to know about the film

<p>Kanye West aka Ye's wife Bianca Censori is no stranger to stirring pots with her controversial outfits. The Australian architect and model is often trolled online for wearing next to nothing on the streets. And, it seems that Bianca is partially taking notes because this time, she decided to cover up her upper body and only expose her butt cheeks. Even though netizens are not pleased with the rapper's wife exposing her derriere on the LA streets.</p>

<p>On Thursday, the controversial couple was spotted at the rapper's store in LA. While Kanye kept his look simple in a white hoodie and trousers, his better half donned a beige dress which hardly covered her butt. She paired her ultra-short dress with a matching cap and no makeup.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Photos from the couple's outing have gone viral on social media and once again netizens are not happy with Bianca's sartorial pick.</p>

<p>On X, an angry netizen wrote, "The woman in question, Bianca performs public s*x acts on Kanye and parades around naked. She is evil. It must not be tolerated or condoned in our society. Women who condone it in the name of 'fashion' or tolerance have disordered minds."</p>

Another commented, "Why is she still allowed to walk the streets in such clothes? Where is the decency? It's just disgusting." A third wrote, "I wish these 2 come back to their senses and start wearing proper clothes in public." Also read: Mamushi music video out!

One commented, "If the body of a naked woman offends you, possibly reconsider why that is." Another added, "Why are some people so offended? Let her be." Bianca and Kanye exchanged wedding vows in December 2022. The "Mercy" rapper was previously married to reality TV show star and makeup mogul Kim Kardashian. Bianca is an Australian architect, who finished high school in 2012 and her undergraduate degree in 2017, according to her LinkedIn profile. She worked as the head of architecture at Yeezy before tying the knot with the controversial rapper.

<p>Insurers face millions of dollars in claims after a foiled attack forced three Taylor Swift concerts in Austria to be cancelled, though several providers will share out the hit, two people involved in insurance for her tour told Reuters.</p>

<p>The concerts in Vienna were cancelled this week after a planned attack at the Ernst Happel Stadium. Some 195,000 "Swifties" had been expected to attend, with many travelling from abroad for a chance to see the pop superstar.</p>

<p>Barracuda Music, the concert organiser, said all tickets would be refunded within 10 days. It could not immediately be reached for comment about insurance arrangements.</p>

<p>Swift is popular among insurers as she rarely cancels concerts, a third insurance source said. Her celebrity and success mean that most specialist event cancellation insurers in London would be involved in covering her tour, one of the sources said. The sources declined to be named, citing client confidentiality.</p>

<p>Organisers of large sporting and&nbsp;entertainment&nbsp;events typically buy event cancellation insurance, much of which tends to be insured through the Lloyd's of London market by a consortium of insurers.</p>

<p>A Lloyd's of London spokesperson confirmed that event cancellation insurance is offered at Lloyd's, but said it could not comment on specific policies.</p>

<p>Militant attacks are often excluded from event cancellation policies, but policyholders typically buy extra cover against them, or the threat of them."The standalone terrorism cancellation insurance policy would have been triggered by the terrorism act or threat clause within the policy, as there has been a known potential terrorism event," said Tim Thornhill, managing director at broker Tysers.</p>

<p>Reuters could not establish the extent of cover on the concerts. Marcos Alvarez, managing director for global financial institution ratings at Morningstar DBRS, said losses from the cancellations could be in the tens of millions of dollars.</p>

<p>Alvarez said insurance losses were likely to be limited by the fact that the concerts could be rescheduled.</p>

<p>The cover was structured so that insurers would not be on the hook for a full cancellation of the tour, said Andrew Colcomb, head of syndicate research at Argenta Private Capital, based on his analysis.</p>

<p>Swift's Eras tour is estimated to generate nearly $2 billion in ticket sales.</p>

<p>Event cancellation insurance typically also covers delay, moving the event to another location, rent for the venue, the artist's pay and ticketing.</p>

<p>The policies can be taken out by local or international organisers, and artists can add their own policies to make sure they get paid for the event if it is cancelled, industry sources say. The stadium would also typically have event cancellation insurance, said Loretta Worters, vice president, media relations at the US&nbsp;Insurance Information Institute.</p>

<p>"Assuming this is an isolated event, we believe that most insurers will remain comfortable with their exposure to cancellation insurance products," Alvarez said.</p>

<p>Going forward, he added: "insurers could restrict the coverage available for cancellation insurance due to terrorism, given increasing political tensions around the world".</p>

<p>Leigh Ann Rossi, senior vice president, sports and&nbsp;entertainment&nbsp;group, at broker NFP, also said she didn't think "this&nbsp;one-off concert claim will move the needle in the marketplace".</p>

<p>She added, however, that "should this become a pattern or if something happens in Paris at the Olympics, these could have impact on the marketplace".</p>

<p>British police said on Thursday there was nothing to indicate the planned attack would have any impact on Swift's return next week to Wembley Stadium, London, for her five final shows in Europe.</p>

<p>Any extra security for the concerts would "create a significant challenge" for the police, said Rich Phillips, head of crisis, resilience and reputation consulting at insurance broker Marsh, particularly as officials are on high alert after days of rioting in Britain involving racist attacks targeting Muslims and migrants.</p>

<p>Serving fans of Colleen Hoover's best-selling novel "It Ends With Us" was at the heart of bringing the book to the big screen, actress Blake Lively says. At the London premiere of the romantic drama on Thursday, Lively said that turning the novel into a film, was "a great responsibility, but also an opportunity."</p>

<p>"When you have to service a group of people who are so passionate about the source material ... to be able to serve people who care so much, is beautiful," the actor said.</p>

<p>In the movie Lively plays Lily Bloom, a Boston-based florist who falls for handsome neurosurgeon Ryle Kincaid, portrayed by Justin Baldoni, who also directed the film. As their relationship gets more serious, Ryle starts showing traits reminiscent of Lily's father's abusive behaviour, triggering her childhood trauma and forcing Lily to make tough decisions about her future to break a toxic pattern.</p>

<p>Lively, who made her directorial debut with Taylor Swift's "I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor's Version)" music video, received her first producer credit on "It Ends With Us".</p>

<p>"I used to feel like an impostor because I would watch actors who were just shapeshifters. And then I realized that half of the actors that I admire most are people who had to get their hands in the storytelling, the writing and the creating and I was like, oh, okay, there's two different categories and I'm in this category, and that's okay," she said.</p>

<p>"Once I started embracing that and leaning into it and not feeling embarrassed about it, I think I was able to do the best work. And so that's why I'm so proud of this film," she said.</p>

<p>"It Ends With Us" began its global cinematic rollout on August 7 and is out in U.S. and U.K. theatres on August 9.</p>

Blake Lively finds passion and pressure in 'It Ends With Us' adaptation

<p>The Internet went berzerk earlier this week when they spotted Indian actor Ali Fazal in Blake Lively and Hugh Jackman's Vogue photoshoot. In no time, the pictures went viral in India and fans started speculating whether it was an easter egg by Baz Luhrmann for his upcoming project.&nbsp;</p>

<p>To put a rest to all the speculations and rumours, Ali Fazal took to his Instagram handle on Friday morning and revealed how and why he "royalty crashed Baz Luhrmann’s Hitchcockian Whodunnit Casino scene".</p>

<p>The actor revealed that he was shooting for a secret project in LA when he got a call from Anna Wintour for the photoshoot. Without giving it a second thought, he decided to get on a plane and be part of the photoshoot. In the caption, the actor also revealed that he always dreamt of working with&nbsp;Baz Luhrmann and the photoshoot made it come true.</p>

<p>"Ok let me put it to rest - yes that is me all secretly dressed up royalty crashing Baz Luhrmann’s Hitchcockian Whodunnit Casino scene. Hehe. And for the rest of this beautiful ensemble piece- WHAT CAN I SAY Anything for Baz @bazluhrmann. I was filming a project in LA when I got the call. And I have truly been blessed that this was the 3rd time Anna Wintour who I can never thank enough, has had me out and about for my American Vogue outing," wrote Ali.</p>

<p>"So, we jump on a plane and we play. It was one shot, and the best part about Baz comin in was he shot the whole thing like scenes so, there’s my dreams of workin with him coming true. Well, not fully - what? Almost.. what???. Thank you @voguemagazine and team for being ever so kind," Ali added.</p>

<p>While concluding his post, he praised Blake by calling her a rockstar and revealed that he was wearing a Sabyasachi creation for the viral photoshoot.</p>

Ali Fazal REVEALS the truth behind viral Vogue photoshoot with Blake Lively, Hugh Jackman: 'Anything for Baz'

<p>Nelly’s legal team is speaking out after the rapper’s recent arrest in the St. Louis area, challenging the charges and the conduct of the arresting officer. On Wednesday, Nelly, whose real name is Cornell Haynes Jr., was taken into custody on a warrant for an old traffic violation and for alleged possession of a controlled substance. However, his attorney, Scott Rosenblum, is vigorously disputing the drug charge.</p>

<p>Rosenblum clarified that Nelly was not charged with drug possession, despite what was reported in the online arrest record, according to a statement given to People. "He was arrested for 'No Proof of Insurance' from 2018 on a warrant issued December 2023 that he received no notice," the attorney stated.</p>

<p>Rosenblum further claimed that Nelly was "targeted by an overzealous, out of line officer" after winning several jackpots at a local St. Louis casino, where the rapper is a frequent visitor.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to Rosenblum, instead of simply overseeing the transfer of Nelly's winnings, the officer insisted on conducting a background check, citing a supposed rule requiring such checks after large casino wins. The attorney stated that Nelly knew this claim was false, as he had previously won larger amounts without incident or background check.</p>

<p>Upon discovering the warrant for the insurance violation, Rosenblum alleged that the officer "unnecessarily handcuffed Nelly and paraded him through the casino in front of other patrons". During the subsequent search, which Rosenblum argues lacked probable cause, the officer claimed to have found ecstasy pills among Nelly’s personal belongings.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The lawyer contended that under similar circumstances, any other individual would have been released with instructions to address the insurance issue.</p>

Singer reveals weird beauty habit and one item she stole from Orlando Bloom</a></strong></p>

<p>Confident in Nelly's innocence, Rosenblum expressed certainty that the case would not proceed and called for an inquiry into the officer’s conduct. "I am 100% confident this case will go nowhere," the attorney's statement concluded. "And we will be asking for an inquiry into this officer's conduct."</p>

<p>The Maryland Heights Police Department confirmed Nelly’s arrest around 5 a.m. on Wednesday after he was brought in by the State of Missouri Highway Patrol's Gaming Division at the Hollywood Casino. According to his arrest record, Nelly was initially charged with possession of a controlled substance, specifically four ecstasy pills, and for not having insurance. He was later released.</p>

Shah Rukh Khan's Pardes clocks 27 years: Subhash Ghai calls the film ‘a piece of my heart’

<p>Deadpool, the mouthy mercenary producing big box-office sales, may soon set a record at a comic book auction.1`</p>

<p>Cover artwork featuring Deadpool's first appearance in the comics went on sale this week at Heritage Auctions with an asking price of $7.5 million. If it sells at that price, it will be the most valuable comic book art ever sold.</p>

<p>The penciled artwork was created by writer/artist Rob Liefeld, at age 23, for New Mutants #98, which was released in February 1991.</p>

<p>&nbsp;Liefeld does not own the artwork. He sold it to a collector 25 years ago, although he said he is thrilled that the character he created is doing so well financially.</p>

<p>"I just keep smiling," said Liefeld about the auction.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ryan Reynolds plays Deadpool in box-office hit "Deadpool &amp; Wolverine," a movie from Walt Disney-owned Marvel Studios. The film ranks as the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time with more than $879 million in global ticket sales.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<img alt="124" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="d736e26e-5310-49d6-8669-24afad7ebd2e" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/happy%2030th%20birthday%20-%202024-08-08T130159.136_0.png" /></p>

<p>When New Mutants #98 was released in 1991, the comic book cost $1. Now the original editions have become one of the most sought-after comics for collectors, with issues selling from $350 to $55,000 on eBay.</p>

<p>"Selling artwork was part of the income stream back then," Liefeld told Reuters. "I sold this 25 years ago. I have zero regrets."&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Liefeld created Deadpool as a combination between Spider-Man and G.I. Joe. Immediately after his first appearance, Marvel Comics was flooded with fan mail.</p>

<p>"Marvel contacted me and said, this is the most fan mail we've had on a new character in 15 years," said Liefeld. "They were flooded with letters, fan letters, which they sent me. And the box that that mail arrived in ... I thought I was getting a washer and dryer," he joked.</p>

<p>The current record holder in comic-book auctions is a copy of Action Comics #1, which features the first appearance of Superman and sold for $6 million earlier in the year, also at Heritage Auctions.</p>

The film ranks as the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time with more than $879 million in global ticket sales. When New Mutants #98 was released in 1991, the comic book cost $1. Now the original editions have become one of the most sought-after comics for collectors, with issues selling from $350 to $55,000 on eBay. "Selling artwork was part of the income stream back then," Liefeld told Reuters. "I sold this 25 years ago. I have zero regrets." Liefeld created Deadpool as a combination between Spider-Man and G.I. Joe. Immediately after his first appearance, Marvel Comics was flooded with fan mail. "Marvel contacted me and said, this is the most fan mail we've had on a new character in 15 years," said Liefeld. "They were flooded with letters, fan letters, which they sent me. And the box that that mail arrived in ... I thought I was getting a washer and dryer," he joked. The current record holder in comic-book auctions is a copy of Action Comics #1, which features the first appearance of Superman and sold for $6 million earlier in the year, also at Heritage Auctions.

<p>The South African government congratulated Monday actor John Kani, a legend of protest theatre and also known for roles in US blockbusters, for his award of the prestigious Order of the British Empire.</p>

<p>King Charles III honoured the 80-year-old actor, director and playwright for his services to drama, it said. Kani received the award last week, the British High Commissioner said on X.</p>

<p>In 1975 Kani won a Tony award with fellow performer Winston Ntshona for their New York performance of Fugard's 1972 play "Sizwe Banzi is Dead".</p>

<p>More recently, Kani voiced the wise mandrill Rafiki in the 2019 remake of "The Lion King". He played T'Chaka in the Marvel studios superhero films "Captain America: Civil War" (2016) and "Black Panther" (2018).</p>

<p>"His career, spanning decades, has not only shaped the landscape of South African theatre but has also brought the richness of our cultural heritage to the world," the government said in a statement.</p>

<p>Lim Young-woong may not have as many fans as BTS, but the trot singer is rivalling the global superstars, showing there's more to South Korean music than K-pop with his billions of streams and a sold-out stadium tour. Once dismissed and widely ridiculed as music for pensioners, trot blends traditional Korean music with elements of Western jazz, swing and Japanese Enka.</p>

<p>But 33-year-old Lim is one of a fresh crop of younger artists breathing new life into the genre, with its melodramatic ballads and upbeat tunes finding massive audiences in the South, helped by a wave of reality television shows.</p>

<p>The original and most successful of these, "Mr Trot" was won by Lim in 2020, with more than a third of all South Korean viewers watching the final -- and his victory turned him into a nationwide sensation. His songs now have a record-breaking 10 billion streams on Melon, the South's largest music platform; his official fan club has more than 200,000 members; and his stadium tours sell out in minutes.</p>

<p>Lim is also South Korea's most loved singer, according to a June Gallup poll, beating out BTS, who were ranked third favourite at home. He also out-earns BTS members -- individually, not as a group -- with ticket sales for his recent tour raking in about $22 million, industry data shows.</p>

<p>"Domestically, articles about him generate more traffic and gain more likes than BTS," veteran entertainment journalist Seo Byung-ki told AFP, adding this was known as "Lim Young-woong syndrome". The star's moving back story -- "losing his father at a young age, growing up with the care of his grandmother, barely making a living, then winning a television show" -- coupled with his "perfect" vocals make him a surefire public hit, Seo said.</p>

<p>Although he's largely unknown internationally, his fame has spread to the isolated North, where music from the South is banned, but activists routinely send USB sticks full of his songs by balloons across the border. Defectors have reported he's popular.</p>

<p><strong>- Elderly fans -&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>At a recent concert in Seoul, tens of thousands of fans, all dressed in sky blue and waving glowing electronic wands, wept as Lim appeared on stage. His fans are mostly elderly, and for many, this is their first celebrity obsession.</p>

<p>Baek Soon-ok, 87, had never watched a YouTube video of a celebrity or attended a concert before she discovered Lim.&nbsp;"He's such a kind person, good to his mother, and most of all, a great singer," she said, wearing a sky-blue T-shirt with Lim's face. "I never imagined I would like an artist as much as him," she added.</p>

<p>In Lim's hometown of Pocheon city, a sky-blue cafe named "Woong's Tree" doubles as a shrine to the singer. Outside, the walls and windows are adorned with photographs of Lim. Inside, an extensive collection of his merchandise is on display, alongside life-size, smiling cutouts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Lim "saved her life", cafe owner Chun Eun-kyung told AFP, saying that when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, his music helped her endure treatment.&nbsp;"I listened to his song 'Wish' when I was in chemotherapy and it struck my heart," she said, adding he helped her let go of her fear of dying of cancer.</p>

<p>After that, she began to follow Lim wherever he performed, and along the way, she met fellow super fans -- known as Hero Generation, as his name means "hero" in Korean -- and opened the cafe to create a space for them to gather and celebrate Lim.</p>

<p>"He's my strength, my happiness," said another fan and cafe regular, 60-year-old Lee Bu-duk.</p>

<p><strong>Trot prodigy </strong></p>

<p>Although K-pop still dominates South Korea's musical exports with artists like NewJeans topping US charts, local credit card data suggests trot is growing faster domestically, with K-pop concert sales up just 34 per cent, compared to 134 per cent for trot.</p>

<p>And more young singers are entering the market. Lim and his "Mr Trot" appearance made Park Sung-on -- then just 12 -- realise he wanted to pursue the genre. "I think it fits the sentiment of what Koreans feel," Park told AFP of the genre.</p>

<p>He appeared on a later version of the "Mr Trot" show and finished in the top 10. Now hailed as a budding "trot genius", Park released his debut single in March 2023. "I don't think I'm a star. I had to work hard to get here," he said. But Park says he hopes to dedicate his life to trot. "I think of it as a lifelong partner."</p>

Trotting ahead of K-pop? South Korean crooner rivals BTS

<p>Halsey went through what most girls would describe as "the worst nightmare for someone in their 20s" and she is candidly speaking about it. The singer revealed that she suffered a miscarriage right before a concert when she was 20.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Revealing the harrowing experience on the SHE MD podcast on Tuesday, Halsey told co-hosts Mary Alice Haney and Dr Thaïs Aliabadi, "I miscarried during a concert. I started miscarrying before the show. And I was in a really tough position because it was really early on in my career and there was a lot attached to the show."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Halsey added, "There was a corporate partner, there was a greater media entity partner, but more importantly than that to me, there [were] a thousand kids who waited all day long to get into this show and see me."</p>

<p>"And what ended up happening was I ended up just putting on an adult diaper. They'd only asked me to perform I think 45 minutes. And I didn't really have that much music out, to be honest with you, so I don't know that I could have played longer," she continued.</p>

<p>After the show, Halsey threw up in the parking lot, went back to her hotel and felt sick all night. What made things worse was that she had an early morning flight the next day for Canada.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the time, Halsey had no one to speak to. She was hesitant to open up about the miscarriage and she felt alone.&nbsp;"And I remember thinking to myself, 'I'm just 20 years old.

<p>The internet is full of remedies that claim to fix your acne but if you've tried a few, you'd know that hardly any of those hacks work. TikTokers are notorious for suggesting weird and sometimes completely insane quick fixes for our skin concerns. But, the Sunburning Acne trend easily takes the cake for drumrolls...The Worst Beauty Skincare Trend of 2024.</p>

<h2><strong>What exactly is the Sunburning Acne trend?</strong></h2>

<p>As the name suggests, the weird skincare trend involves sunburning your skin to the point that the acne disappears. Instead of using topical creams with salicylic acid or other acne-fighting ingredients, some TikTokers are claiming to use UV rays to diminish their acne and breakouts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Content creator Haley Wenthold, 19, shared a video on TikTok and swore by the trend. "Telling the sun to burn off my acne," she captioned her video on TikTok, which garnered more than 1.7 million views in just a few days. &nbsp;</p>

<p>In the TikTok clip, Wenthold claimed that "the trend actually works". And, in the comment section, many others seemed to agree.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Why you shouldn't try this trend?</strong></h2>

<p>There are a ton of reasons why you shouldn't try this trend. First and foremost, if you have reoccurring acne, it's clear that you have sensitive skin. Repeated sun exposure can lead to sunburns, which can increase your risk of skin cancer. It can also cause premature ageing and precancerous skin lesions.&nbsp;</p>

<p>You must not go out in the sun without wearing sunscreen. Contrary to what the trend suggests, you must wear broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 or higher to keep your skin protected.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Extended sun exposure can also leave your skin feeling ultra dry. At the same time, it can result in your sebaceous glands going into overdrive and resulting in excess sebum production, which is one of the key factors in the formation of blemishes. So instead of fixing your acne, it might be making it worse.</p>

<h2><strong>So what should you do?</strong></h2>

<p>Getting in touch with a dermatologist to get a proper assessment of your skin concern is recommended. If you wish to try a few remedies before going to the medical expert, try using tea tree oil as a spot treatment. If your acne is severe and nothing seems to work, your doctor may&nbsp;prescribe Accutane (Isotretinoin) to you. The prescription drug can only be taken under a doctor's supervision.</p>

TikTokers are 'sunburning' their acne! Here's why you shouldn't try this latest trend

<p>Machine Gun Kelly is opening up about his journey to sobriety, revealing that he spent time in rehab last year. During an appearance on Bunnie Xo's podcast, Dumb Blonde, on Monday&nbsp;(Aug&nbsp;5), the "Emo Girl" artist, 34, candidly discussed his struggles with alcohol and substance abuse and shared that he is now "completely sober from everything."</p>

<p>"I don't drink anymore. I haven't drank since last August," said MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker. He added, "That was my first time I ever went to rehab."</p>

<p>Before seeking help, the musician admitted to abusing alcohol, marijuana, and prescription pills, including hydrocodone, Percocet, and Vyvanse. His road to recovery has been challenging, but MGK credits his partner, Megan Fox, 38, with playing a crucial role in his journey.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Megan has for sure been extremely helpful in dealing with the kind of psychological withdrawals that come with getting off drugs," he said.</p>

<p>MGK also reflected on the emotional toll of his recovery process. "I continue to embrace that this journey is gonna be hard for me, but I accept it and forgive myself," he explained. "I'm also really hard on myself, very self-deprecating. I’m just happy that I’m able to start to be comfortable enough to show people who I am because I kind of depended on my art to do that."</p>

<p>The conversation on the podcast turned lighthearted when Bunnie recounted challenging MGK to a drinking contest with her husband, Jelly Roll, without knowing he was sober. MGK joked about the incident, saying, "It just kills me because I just know I would have f***ing drank that man under the table."<br />
&nbsp;<br />
MGK and Fox started dating in 2020. The pair announced their engagement on January 12, 2022. However, in March this year, Fox revealed that they ended their engagement sometime in 2023.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During an appearance on Alex Cooper's <em>Call Her Daddy</em> podcast, she said, "I don't have a comment on the status of the relationship, per se. What I can say is [he] is what I refer to as being my ‘twin soul’ and there will always be a tether to him, no matter what."</p>
