<p>Reports of Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan's arrest started doing rounds online on Monday.

<p>The singer took to his X account on Monday and revealed that he has not been arrested in any case in Dubai. He clarified that he is working on some new projects in UAE and will soon return to his country.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I am Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, your Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. I came here (to Dubai) to record songs... Everything is fine. I request you not to pay any attention to disgusting rumours. These reports are not true," he said.</p>

<p>Rahat also urged his fans to not believe in fake news and false rumours and asked for their continued support.</p>

<p>Sam Smith recently shared the harrowing experience of a skiing accident that left them unable to walk for a month. In a candid episode of the Sidetracked with Annie and Nick podcast, released on July 18, the singer detailed their ordeal with a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and subsequent recovery.</p>

<p>Smith, who uses they/them pronouns, recounted the incident that occurred earlier this year. "I completely ripped my ACL. I was skiing. I was an idiot and went on a black slope on the second day," the 32-year-old said. “I got taken down in a blood bag. It was the worst. It's a permanent thing."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The injury, they explained, involved the complete tearing of the ACL, a crucial ligament that helps stabilise the knee.</p>

<p>Opting for a non-surgical route, Smith faced significant challenges during their recovery. "It's in between your bones and helps you jump and spring around. It completely ripped and I decided to go down the non-surgical route but I couldn't walk for a month on this leg and it was awful," they continued. The singer was first seen with a leg brace and walking stick in Soho, New York City, back in January.</p>

<p>The period of immobility was a difficult one for Smith, who admitted, "It was the first time I'd ever not been able to move and I was holding onto a bit of weight. I was very anxious. I used it as an excuse to get my s**t together." This time of forced rest allowed Smith to reflect and reset various aspects of their life.</p>

<p>In addition to discussing their injury, Smith revealed that they recently made significant changes to their digital life. Needing a U.S. phone number and desiring a fresh start, Smith got a new phone and deleted old contacts, including numbers of exes. "I actually just got rid of my phone and I got a new phone. It's the first time I don't have my library of music that I'd had since I was like 11," Smith said. "I started again, fully started again. I needed an American number and my phone was just full of people like exes and all these different people through the years."</p>

<p>The singer also took a bold step by removing social media apps from their phone. "And I took social media off. Everything. It's crazy. I find myself sitting on benches now in parks just looking at the trees," they added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite their busy lives as parents of two, Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are still making time for fashionable outings. The couple was seen on Saturday, July 20, leaving the Mercer Hotel in New York City, both looking stylish in sleek, all-black outfits.</p>

<p>For the outing, A$AP Rocky wore an oversized double-breasted suit along with a bold red tie and dark sunglasses. Rihanna opted for a long-sleeved button-down top and shredded jeans.</p>

<p>Earlier this year, some reports gave insights into how the couple manages their public and family life with their sons RZA and Riot, 2 years and 11 months respectively. An insider told People that their strong friendship has been the foundation of their relationship, with their romance only strengthening it. For them, family always comes first.</p>

<p>In May, another source revealed that Rihanna, the "Love on the Brain" singer, embraces motherhood fully, often bringing her children along on trips, including work commitments. "She never complains about being tired. She just loves life," the source told the publication.</p>

<p>The war between the Blacks and Greens is intensifying! And both Aemond and Rhenyra are moving their pawns around the board for the iron throne in King's Landing. Aegon II has finally gained consciousness but he sleeps 9 out of every 10 hours and mostly relies on poppy milk to function.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Both Aemond and Alicent are looking for Otto Hightower but he is hard to get in contact (the reasons are yet to be revealed). Ser Criston Cole, on the other hand, has been ordered to march to Harrenhal and attack Daemon along with the Lannisters.</p>

<p>Back at Dragonstone, Rhaenyra and Mysaria successfully manage to cause a riot in King's Landing by sending food and supplies to the smallfolk. When she is questioned by Lord Celtigar, she turns around and slaps him, asserting her position as the Queen of the Seven Kingdoms.</p>

<p>Towards the end of the episode, we also see Rhaenyra and Mysaria kissing each other before they are interrupted by a knight who tells Rhaenyra that Seasmoke has accepted a rider.&nbsp;</p>

<p>After giving a tough fight to other contestants, Serena Page and Kordell Beckham won the Love Island USA Season 6 winner titles. After getting coupled on Day 1, the two became fan favourites as their iconic love story unfolded in front of our eyes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per tradition, both Beckham and Page had to choose one of two envelopes, one was empty and one had $100,000. Out of courtesy, Beckham asked Page to choose first but she got a blank envelope, which means that now Beckham had the choice to either take the entire money home or split it. As a gentleman, Beckham decided to split the money with Page.</p>

<p>"Me and Serena have been through a whole lot. I couldn’t ask for a better experience than to be in this villa with her. It’s only right– I’m going to split that dough," he said.</p>

<p>The internet is full of weird food combination videos and Benny Blanco wants Selena Gomez to expand her culinary horizon and try the viral “watermelon pickle sandwich” with him. On Friday, the couple took to social media to share their first reactions to the weird and viral food combo.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The clip begins with Blanco slicing a watermelon into two bread-like wedges. He then assembles the sandwich with cheese, a pickle slice, balsamic vinegar, and basil. “All right, so then I guess it’s just like a sandwich,” he said to the camera, admitting that it “looks f***ing disgusting.”</p>

<p>After taking a hesitant bite, Blanco declared that the sandwich was “not that bad” and invited Gomez to give it a try. “All right, babe, come try,” he said.</p>

<p>Visibly sceptical, Gomez picked up the sandwich and shared, “I don’t want to. I’m not going to like this,” before adding, “But, I love pickles.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>On July 12, Gomez and Blanco took the “Who’s Most Likely To” challenge, giving fans a glimpse into their relationship. The pair answered questions like “Who’s the first to apologize during an argument?” and “Who is more romantic?” They also revealed that Gomez was the first to say “I love you” in their relationship, which they publicly confirmed in December 2023.</p>

<p>On the work front, Gomez was last seen in <em>Emilia Pérez</em>, written and directed by Jacques Audiard. The movie also features Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón, Adriana Paz, and Édgar Ramírez. It premiered on May 18 at the 77th Cannes Film Festival.</p>

The internet is full of weird food combination videos and Benny Blanco wants Selena Gomez to expand her culinary horizon and try the viral “watermelon pickle sandwich” with him. On Friday, the couple took to social media to share their first reactions to the weird and viral food combo. The clip begins with Blanco slicing a watermelon into two bread-like wedges. He then assembles the sandwich with cheese, a pickle slice, balsamic vinegar, and basil. “All right, so then I guess it’s just like a sandwich,” he said to the camera, admitting that it “looks f***ing disgusting.” After taking a hesitant bite, Blanco declared that the sandwich was “not that bad” and invited Gomez to give it a try. “All right, babe, come try,” he said. Visibly sceptical, Gomez picked up the sandwich and shared, “I don’t want to. I’m not going to like this,” before adding, “But, I love pickles.” Also read: Anne Hathaway steals the spotlight at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour show in Germany Blanco then forced her to take a bite and said, “Just eat it!” While hesitating, Gomez took a bite and quickly declared her dislike for the unusual snack before leaving.

Benny Blanco makes viral ‘watermelon pickle sandwich’ for Selena Gomez; check out her reaction

<p>On Friday, July 19, fans at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour at Gelsenkirchen’s Veltins Arena were treated to a surprise performance offstage by none other than Anne Hathaway. The 41-year-old actress was spotted in the VIP section, showcasing her dance moves and enjoying the concert to the fullest.</p>

<p>Hathaway, known for her roles in films such as <em>The Devil Wears Prada</em>&nbsp;and <em>Les Misérables</em>,&nbsp;was caught on camera by several fans grooving to Swift's hits. In multiple videos shared on X (formerly Twitter), she could be seen dancing energetically to tracks like "...Ready for It," "Shake It Off," and "Blank Space."</p>

<p>In one particularly lively clip, Hathaway held her arms out, raised them high, and jumped up and down as Swift, 34, performed "Shake It Off" from her 1989 album. Another video showed her lifting her arm to the beat of "Blank Space" while chatting with a nearby companion. During the "Reputation" era of the concert, Hathaway swayed side to side and moved her arms to the rhythm of "...Ready for It."</p>

<p>Mali's "king of kora" Toumani Diabate died on Friday at the age of 58 following a short illness, the musician's family announced on social media. "My dear dad is gone forever," the Malian great's son Sidiki Diabate, who is also a musician, wrote on Facebook.</p>

<p>On Friday, Bollywood actor Sonu Sood reacted to an&nbsp;order by the&nbsp;government of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh&nbsp;mandating&nbsp;all shop owners to display the owner's name along the Kanwar Yatra route.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Criticising the government's decision, Sonu wrote, "There should be only one nameplate on every shop: 'HUMANITY'."&nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, Bollywood actress and Member of Parliament Kangana Ranaut has reacted to Sonu's post, stating that "Halal should be replaced with 'Humanity'."&nbsp;</p>

<p>The post has since gone viral and has received mixed reactions. A user wrote, "Bollywood should learn from Sonu Sood. You are villain in reel but you are real hero in real life."</p>

<p>Another commented, "And Rangana Kanaut should be replaced with Kulwinder Kaur." A third post read, "Do HUMANITY shops give free foods and services to all?"</p>

<p>Meanwhile, some users shared screen grabs of Kangana's old tweets, which read, "There is nothing wrong with eating beef or meat. It's not about religion! It's not a hidden fact that Kangan turned Vegetarian 8 years ago and chose to be a yogi. She still doesn't believe in just one religion. On the contrary, her brother eats meat."</p>

<p>Earlier, screenwriter Javed Akhtar also reacted to the escalating row over shops on the Kawar Yatra route.</p>

<p>"Muzaffarnagar UP police has given instructions that on the route of a particular religious procession in near future all the shops restaurants n even vehicles should show the name of the owner prominently and clearly. Why? In Nazi Germany they used to make only a mark on particular shops and houses,"&nbsp;Akhtar wrote.</p>

<p>Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath mandated the use of ID Cards by all shop owners in the state that fall along the Kanwar Yatra route. The decision has led to a political slugfest between the right and left-wing parties.</p>

Now, Bollywood actress and Member of Parliament Kangana Ranaut has reacted to Sonu's post, stating that "Halal should be replaced with 'Humanity'." The post has since gone viral and has received mixed reactions. A user wrote, "Bollywood should learn from Sonu Sood. You are villain in reel but you are real hero in real life." Another commented, "And Rangana Kanaut should be replaced with Kulwinder Kaur." A third post read, "Do HUMANITY shops give free foods and services to all?" Meanwhile, some users shared screen grabs of Kangana's old tweets, which read, "There is nothing wrong with eating beef or meat. It's not about religion! It's not a hidden fact that Kangan turned Vegetarian 8 years ago and chose to be a yogi. She still doesn't believe in just one religion. On the contrary, her brother eats meat."

"Muzaffarnagar UP police has given instructions that on the route of a particular religious procession in near future all the shops restaurants n even vehicles should show the name of the owner prominently and clearly. Why? In Nazi Germany they used to make only a mark on particular shops and houses," Akhtar wrote. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath mandated the use of ID Cards by all shop owners in the state that fall along the Kanwar Yatra route. The decision has led to a political slugfest between the right and left-wing parties.

<p>Disneyland employees in California authorized a strike in a union-wide vote Friday, opening the door to withhold their labor from "the happiest place on Earth", the theme park's unions announced. The unions, which represent some 14,000 Disneyland Resort employees, have been in negotiations with Disney over wage increases and other benefits since April.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Talks have stalled and tensions have grown as some employees contend Disney has engaged in anti-union practices. Ninety-nine percent of members voted in favor of the strike authorization, according to a union statement.</p>

<p>It allows union leaders to decide when to call the strike, as well as its duration and terms. This week, Disney said it was "committed" to continuing negotiations scheduled for Monday and Tuesday. If the talks go ahead as planned, the strike authorization vote gives union members new leverage in negotiations.</p>

<p>"A strike is always a last resort for workers, but this strong vote shows that cast members across Disneyland are ready and willing to do what it takes to stand up to Disney’s unfair labour practices and get the contract they deserve," the Disney Workers Rising Bargaining Committee said in the statement.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Today's overwhelming unfair labour practice strike authorisation vote sends a clear message to the company: 'We are stronger together and will not be divided by scare tactics'".&nbsp; After last year's writers and actors strike paralyzed Hollywood, another major labour movement within Disney would be historic.</p>

<p>Employees at its California theme parks have not gone on strike since 1984, according to the Los Angeles Times. On Wednesday, hundreds of Disneyland employees, also known as "cast members," gathered for a protest in a parking lot outside the park in Anaheim, a suburb of Los Angeles.</p>

<p>The employees complained of low wages and intimidation used by managers, prompting a complaint filed with the National Labor Relations Board. The union claims that over 500 employees have been reprimanded, threatened or warned about disciplinary action for wearing a union pin, which depicts a Mickey Mouse glove raised in the shape of a fist.</p>

<p>"Last week, I saw a manager telling one of the cast members to remove her badge," Disneyland employee Ginny Cristales, 44, told AFP over the phone. "He told her that it will be on her record card... She was stressed and scared."</p>

<p>Cristales has worked at Disneyland for the past five years, earning around $2,800 a month -- which is not enough to cover the rent for her and her four children. "We deserve fair wages," Cristales said. "A strike is our last resort, that we're not wanting to do. But if Disney doesn't comply and give us what we need, then we're all ready."</p>

The eight-man group from South Korea debuted in 2018 after being formed by JYP Entertainment through a reality show. They have won over fans around the world with their genre-mixing sound and hit songs such as "God's Menu", "S-Class" and "Maniac".</p>

<p>Made up of members Changbin, Felix, Hyunjin, Lee Know, Han, Seungmin, Bang Chan and I.N, Stray Kids returned to London after nearly five years to make their UK festival debut.</p>

<p>"It's a really big festival and it's a really big space. It'll be really interesting to see how much the energy we bring to it will change that," said Han shortly before the group took to the stage to perform a high-energy one-hour-40-minute-long set in front of a crowd of thousands.</p>

<p>Named by Time magazine as one of the Next Generation Leaders, Stray Kids placed third on recorded music industry body IFPI's top ten list of global recording artists last year. Their third Korean-language studio album "5-Star" was last year's second biggest-selling album globally, IFPI said.</p>

<p>All eight members also walked the famed MET Gala red carpet this May, wearing custom Tommy Hilfiger suits. Bang Chan said the group were grateful for their strong streaming numbers and successes but added that the onus was on bringing meaningful music to their fans, known as STAYs.</p>

<p>"Lots of STAYs and a lot of people are giving us a lot of attention, so I don't think we should sit still and do nothing about it. That's why all the members are working hard in their parts," added Seungmin.</p>

<p>Part of that is the group's "comeback", their new EP, titled "ATE", which will be released on July 19.<br />
ATE represents the eight members who have "eaten up" their comeback, said Felix, adding that fans could expect new concepts and styles.</p>

<p>"It really means a lot to us. It's been a while since our last album. With this album we really want to emphasize our eight members, how genuine we are with music and we've also put in a lot of styles of music for everyone out there to enjoy," said Bang Chan.</p>

<p>"We're bringing out all we can at this time and that makes us confident," added Changbin.</p>

Actor Angelina Jolie has levelled fresh allegations against Brad Pitt. She has claimed that Pitt has a "history of abuse" that started well before the 2016 plane altercation.

Brad Pitt acusses Angelina Jolie of 'intrusive' request, former couple's battle takes nasty turn

<p>Hit series <em>Shogun</em>, <em>The Bear</em>, and <em>Baby Reindeer</em> are expected to rack up nominations for this year's Emmys as the contenders for television's version of the Oscars are unveiled Wednesday. Nominees will be announced in a live-streamed ceremony starting at 8:30 am Pacific time (1530 GMT), after which final-round voting begins for the 76th Emmy Awards, set for September 15.</p>

<p>Here are five things to look out for:</p>

<p><strong>- Shogun brings the drama -</strong></p>

<p><em>Shogun</em>&nbsp;-- adapted from James Clavell's historical fiction novel -- transported viewers to early 17th-century Japan. Starting from the perspective of a marooned English sailor, its scope widens over 10 acclaimed episodes to span the intricate and deadly court politics of the era, fleshing out a remarkable cast of Japanese heroes and villains.</p>

<p>With another two seasons already in the works, it is a hot favourite in this year's drama categories. "Because it's got everything going for it in terms of acting, writing, directing" and many technical categories, "Shogun is probably going to be the top one," Deadline awards columnist Pete Hammond told AFP.</p>

<p><em>Shogun</em>&nbsp;faces competition from the final season of Netflix's British royal saga <em>The Crown</em>, and Apple's&nbsp; <em>The Morning Show</em>, starring Jennifer Aniston.</p>

<p><strong>- Bear continues rampage? -</strong></p>

<p>Set in a chaotic Chicago restaurant run by a group of close-knit but abrasive and occasionally abusive chefs, "The Bear" was a big winner for its debut season at last year's Emmys. It returned with an even more ambitious and experimental second run.</p>

<p>Sumptuous montages of Michelin star-level dishes were paired with extraordinary episodes like "Fishes" -- an hour-long portrait of a dysfunctional family tearing itself apart over one excruciating dinner. Bizarrely entered in the Emmys' comedy categories, despite dealing with hard-hitting issues like grief and addiction, <em>The Bear</em>&nbsp;is expected to contend again.</p>

<p>It is up against shows including <em>Hacks</em>, <em>Abbott Elementary</em>, <em>Only Murders in the Building</em>&nbsp;and <em>Curb Your Enthusiasm</em>.</p>

<p><strong>- Baby Reindeer controversy -&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Limited series, for shows that end after a single season, is a category always packed with water-cooler hits. But this year, one made far more noise than the rest. Netflix's <em>Baby Reindeer</em>, adapted from Scottish comedian Richard Gadd's pitch-black one-man show about his encounters with a female stalker, was a global phenomenon.</p>

<p>It was billed as a "true story" -- a claim that helped lure audiences, but sparked a lawsuit from a British woman who says she was the inspiration for the stalker and is demanding $170 million in damages.&nbsp; "I don't think the controversy is going to hurt it in terms of nominations," said Hammond.</p>

<p><em>Baby Reindeer</em>&nbsp;is in contention against the likes of <em>Fargo</em>, <em>True Detective</em>, <em>Ripley</em>&nbsp;and <em>Lessons in Chemistry</em>.</p>

<p><strong>- Deja vu -</strong></p>

<p>It often feels that award shows like the Emmys come around faster with each passing year. But this time, it really is true. The 76th Emmy Awards, scheduled for September 15, will be the second to take place in 2024 after last year's ceremony was postponed to January due to Hollywood strikes.</p>

<p>Complicating matters further, some shows like "The Bear" have recently released new seasons that will not become eligible for awards until the 2025 Emmys. Confused? The upcoming edition of the Emmys will honour television series that were broadcast between June 2023 and May 2024.</p>

<p><strong>- Nominations announcement -</strong></p>

<p>Tony Hale (<em>Veep</em>) and Sheryl Lee Ralph (<em>Abbott Elementary</em>) unveil the nominations this Wednesday from 8.30 am in Los Angeles (1530 GMT). Voting members of the US-based Television Academy will then have a month to catch up on their viewing before final-round voting takes place in mid-August.</p>

<p>Doja Cat is proving that she is a performer extraordinaire. At the 2024 Wireless festival held in London, UK, the American rapper and singer broke the stage with her closing act, giving everyone a ferocious masterclass in stage performance.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Sporting red hair and a hand-painted corset designed by Dilara Findikoğlu, Doja channelled Geri Halliwell aka Ginger Spice from the hit London girl group, the Spice Girls. For those unaware, Geri wore the Union Jack dress at the 1997 Brit Awards.</p>

<p>The custom corset featured the UK's flag to give sartorial nods to the country. Doja styled it with a lace thong and fishnet tights. For her footwear, she opted for a pair of beige point-toe kitten heels.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Geri Halliwell opened up about the iconic look in her British Vogue 'Life in Looks' video in 2020. "It’s 1997 and we were going to be performing in front of everyone. I remember thinking, ‘Maybe I could just put on a British flag’," Geri recalled. "At the time, the stylist said to me, ‘I don’t think you should wear that’. I got a very inexpensive tea towel – it was probably about five pounds – and I said, ‘Let’s place it on this Gucci dress’."</p>

<p><strong>Netizens react!</strong></p>

<p>Netizens were all praise for Doja's sartorial pick and performance at the Wireless festival. One wrote, "Ginger Spice vibes. Looking absolutely gorgeous." Another commented, "That's so nostalgic. Ginger Spice from 1997." A third said, "Doja killed it at Wireless festival."</p>

<p>Hollywood actor Johnny Depp had a rough 2022 as his life was on full display when he fought a defamation case against his ex-wife and actress Amber Heard. The world watched as he won both the court case and public support. Since then he has been living a less flashy life in the UK.</p>

<p>When it comes to his dating life, he is currently in a "casual relationship" with Russian beautician and model Yulia Vlasova, 28. There's nothing serious between the two, according to Daily Mail, however, they have been seeing each other "here and there" for the last few years.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The two first met in Prague at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. Vlasova owns a makeup and hairstyling studio in Prague but she often travels to the UK to meet Depp.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Last Thursday, the two were spotted at a London Heliport. Viral photos and videos show the two looking cosy and sharing a big laugh as they walk to the tarmac.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When rumours of her relationship with Depp started spreading like wildfire, the Russian model shared a statement on Instagram, which read, "Friends, I ask you to refrain from giving any interviews to journalists concerning me and my personal life.

<p>Vlasova never directly confirmed her relationship with Depp but she often drops hints and Easter eggs on her social media posts, which fuels speculations. When someone asked her about her "Favourite actor" on Instagram, she posted a picture of their hands resting on each other’s legs in response. In the caption, she wrote, "JD.

<p>Swiss singer Nemo's 2024 Eurovision victory means Switzerland gets to host the glitzy TV extravaganza next year -- though battles are now raging over footing the bill. Zurich, Geneva, Basel, plus Bern in conjunction with Nemo's hometown Biel, are the four declared candidates to stage the 69th Eurovision Song Contest.</p>

<p>The winner should be announced by the end of August, with the kitsch annual spectacle set for mid-May 2025. But the financial demands of hosting Eurovision -- and, in some parts, even fear of the occult -- have sparked threats of local referendums to ensure cities don't get saddled with the event.</p>

<p>The contest puts host cities in the spotlight, with 163 million viewers worldwide watching this year's event in Malmo, Sweden, where Nemo triumphed with the highly personal song "The Code". Hosting also has a knock-on boost for the hotel and tourism industries as Eurovision fanatics, artists and country delegations flock in.</p>

<p>Following a surge of early enthusiasm, four formal bids emerged by the end of June deadline. However, Swiss voters are used to having a direct say on how their taxes are spent, and some are bristling at the potential costs and hassle of bringing the Eurovision circus to town.</p>

<p><strong>- Satanism concerns -</strong></p>

<p>Under Switzerland's direct democratic system, popular votes can be triggered on most any issue if enough signatures are gathered. The Christian fundamentalist, right-wing Federal Democratic Union (EDU) minor party is pushing for referendums against public financial support in every potential host city.</p>

<p>"What bothers us most is that Satanism and occultism are increasingly being celebrated or at least tolerated," said EDU executive board member Samuel Kullmann, according to the public broadcaster SRF.<br />
"More and more artists are openly presenting occult messages," he said, citing Ireland's witchcraft-inspired 2024 entrant Bambie Thug.</p>

<p>But Switzerland's next window for popular votes comes after the August host city selection date -- potentially throwing a spanner in the works. In the end, the host broadcaster SRG will make the location decision, supported by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) public service media alliance which owns Eurovision.</p>

<p>"Financial commitments without a referendum requirement are of course less risky and offer us more planning security," said SRG spokesman Edi Estermann. "Ultimately, however, this is only one aspect of a comprehensive list of requirements."</p>

<p><strong>- 'Bullying, riots' -</strong></p>

<p>From its earnest 1950s beginnings, Eurovision has ballooned into a colourful giant annual celebration that never takes itself too seriously. It is a non-profit event, mostly financed by weighted contributions from participating EBU broadcasters.</p>

<p>Eurovision says that "given the benefits that will flow" to the host city, it must make a contribution to the competition's hosting. This can be "either financially or 'in kind' (e.g. covering expenses of city branding, side events, security, etc.)".</p>

<p>The potential host cities are lining up packages of 20-40 million Swiss francs ($22.25-44.5 million).<br />
The hard-right Swiss People's Party (SVP), the country's biggest party, is eyeing referendum options in Zurich and Bern.</p>

<p>The 2024 event in Malmo was one of the most politically-charged competitions ever, with Israel's entry targeted by protests over the war in Gaza. That hoopla is putting off some in the normally calm and orderly Switzerland.</p>

<p>Eurovision 2024 was "dominated by bullying, riots and political slapstick rather than artistic skills. We don't need that in Zurich!" the regional SVP branch said. Meanwhile, the SVP's Bern canton branch branded Eurovision an "expensive media spectacle" set to cost at least 40 million Swiss francs.</p>

<p>SVP Bern cantonal lawmaker Samuel Krahenbuhl said Zurich, Geneva and Basel had greater financial leeway. "The high expenses and the other problems that such a major event brings with it -- let's leave it to them," he said.</p>

<p>Basel has seen little opposition so far to hosting the competition, including from the SVP, while there is also broad enthusiasm from Geneva's politicians. Money squabbles over big events are not uncommon in Switzerland.</p>

<p>The country will host the 2025 women's European football championships, but the government wanted to reduce its promised contribution of 15 million francs to 4 million, before parliament reversed the cut.</p>

<p>A Dutch court on Friday sentenced a former coach on talent show "The Voice of Holland" to two years in prison for rape, in a high-profile case that gripped the country. Ali B., 42, was found guilty of raping a woman known as "Naomi" during a writer's room in 2018 -- allegations he has denied.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The rapper, one of several Dutch The Voice stars accused of sexual misconduct, will appeal the conviction, his lawyer told public media outlet NOS. The 2022 scandal was the first #MeToo wave to rock the progressive Netherlands, which has since been shaken by several other incidents of sexual abuse.</p>

<p>Ali B. was also accused by a contestant on The Voice of forcibly fondling her, touching her genitals and performing sexual acts on him.&nbsp;While prosecutors considered the woman's allegations reliable, the Dutch court dropped the charges over a lack of evidence.</p>

Former Dutch 'The Voice' coach jailed for two years over rape

<p>A security guard who planned to kidnap, rape, and murder British television presenter Holly Willoughby, has been sentenced to life in prison with a minimum term of 16 years. The man identified as Gavin Plumb, 37, was found guilty after an eight-day trial.</p>

<p>He has been charged with soliciting murder, encouraging or assisting in the commission of kidnapping, and encouraging or assisting in the commission of rape, according to BBC.</p>

<p>Plumb had shared his plans in an online group chat called “Abduct Lovers” and even considered taking time off work to prepare for the attack. His plot was discovered by a United States undercover police officer who infiltrated the chat and alerted the FBI. Subsequently, Essex police officers raided Plumb’s flat in north London and found an “abduction kit” containing cable ties and bottles of chloroform.</p>

<p>Holly Willoughby, a well-known television personality in the UK, decided to leave <em>This Morning</em>&nbsp;on October 10 following Plumb's initial arrest.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I've let ITV know today that after 14 years, I will not be returning to <em>This Morning</em>," she announced on Instagram. Willoughby expressed her gratitude to her coworkers, viewers, and guests for their support over the years. "I know this story has many chapters left to go. Sadly, however, I now feel I have to make this decision for me and my family," she wrote, adding, "I will miss you all so much."</p>

<p>Despite her departure from <em>This Morning</em>, Willoughby returned to ITV in January to co-host the channel’s series <em>Dancing on Ice</em>.</p>

<p>Judge Edward Murray of Chelmsford Crown Court described Plumb’s plans as “horrifying, shocking, and graphic in detail,” noting that they were too disturbing to be shared in open court and were instead revealed privately to the jury.

<p>“There is no doubt that if you had genuinely found one or more accomplices who were seriously interested in and had been willing to join you in carrying your plan through then you would have put this plan into action,” Justice Murray said during sentencing.</p>

<p>A New Mexico judge dismissed Alec Baldwin's trial for involuntary manslaughter on Friday (Jul 12) after ruling that the state had withheld key evidence over the fatal shooting on the set of Rust. According to the judgement, the evidence could have shed light on how live rounds got onto the set, which tragically resulted in the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.<br />
<br />
Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer said that the bullets potentially linked to the death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins that could have been favourable to Baldwin's case had not been shared with his lawyers by police and prosecutors. "There is no way for the court to right this wrong," the judge said.</p>

<p>It had been on our Instagram feeds for weeks on end. Each time we scrolled, almost all of us could see jet-black musical instruments nestled in a sea of glowing candles.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Candlelight Concerts held its final show of Western classical music titled ‘From Mozart to Chopin’ in New Delhi on the 12th of July.</p>

<p>It promised an unforgettable musical journey into the works of the greats like Schubert and Brahms.&nbsp;But did it live up to its name and hype?</p>

<p><strong>Western Classical Music for Dummies</strong></p>

<p>Like most of the packed audience at the Shri Ram Centre for Performing Arts, this writer raised his hand when the pianist Vashu Tangri asked if it was our first classical concert.&nbsp;</p>

<p>We were all beginners in the world of classical music. Johannes Brahms, Franz Schubert, and Ludwig Van Beethoven were just names we had heard or read in passing. Their compositions were just background scores or elevator music for us.</p>

<p>In short, we were all waiting to either be amazed or to doze off.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Ambience: Gimmicky or Enthralling?&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Faux yet flickering candles were dutifully placed right from the venue’s entrance, curving along the stairs and finally leading the crowd into the famous hall where the biggest names in the world have performed their art.</p>

<p>As promised, there was a sea of candles surrounding a jet-black grand piano.</p>

<p>The candles also served as dividers between the three differing zones for the concert and were breath-taking.</p>

<p>They were even better than the edited photos on Instagram. Each one was a different height and flickered differently, giving an eerie glow to the entire hall. Even in the absence of artificial lighting, the stage was aflame, and the people were awash in the soft glow of the candlelight.&nbsp;</p>

<p>It truly set the stage (pardon the pun) for what was to follow.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Vashu Tangri’s Music&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>After a brief introduction to the show, the concert began. Pianist Vashu Tangri took his audience on a musical journey through the ages.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With a courteous bow, he began weaving music, such that this writer could hear people whispering “Close your eyes” to their friends.</p>

<p>Closing one’s eyes truly helped, as the music created symphonies for the mind’s eye.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The context offered by Tangri, in between the songs, was required to understand the historical context behind each composition.</p>

<p>From 400-year-old verses to ones created for unattainable love, the storytelling was as enthralling as the music.</p>

<p>Ironically, the music was so sublime that the candles were not even required. They added a nice touch, but even a bare room with just the music would have been perfect.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Acquired Taste</strong></p>

<p>Like fine wine, classical music is an acquired taste. The writer initially felt that the absence of any sort of lyrics was different and wondered if he would be bored in the 65-minute concert.</p>

<p>But the music and the lack of lyrics grow on you. It allows your mind to take over and create scenarios of one’s own, such that the hour flew by in a jiffy.</p>

<p>For example, rather poetically, this writer’s mind imagined two ballerinas dancing around Tangri and his piano. The ballet was set to the tune of his playing, fast when the music crescendoed and still when it went silent.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The concert has a Bollywood and a ‘tribute to Coldplay’ version as well, but the original Western classical is sure to be a class apart.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>After all, centuries-old compositions are bound to be better than the latest film music, right?</p>

<p><strong>Worth Your Time?&nbsp;</strong></p>

<p>Candlelight concerts are worth your time and money. Even if you are not a concert person and do not blend into the tuxedoed and high-heeled crowd that it attracts, you are bound to have a good time.&nbsp;</p>

<p>But only if you forget your worries, shut off the outside world, and just let the music flow through you.</p>

It had been on our Instagram feeds for weeks on end. Each time we scrolled, almost all of us could see jet-black musical instruments nestled in a sea of glowing candles.

<p>Rebel Wilson has found herself embroiled in a legal battle with the producers of her directorial debut, just days after publicly accusing them of misconduct on social media. The defamation suit, filed on Friday, July 12, in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles, follows Wilson’s allegations against producers Amanda Ghost, Gregor Cameron, and executive producer Vince Holden.</p>

<p>On Wednesday, July 10, the 44-year-old actress took to Instagram, posting a detailed video accusing the producers of "bad behaviour" on set. Wilson claimed she faced "absolute viciousness and retaliatory behaviour" after reporting these actions and alleged that the producers were responsible for blocking the film from premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).</p>

<p>In their defamation suit, Ghost, Cameron, and Holden vehemently denied Wilson's claims. They refuted accusations of embezzling funds and inappropriate behaviour towards the lead actress. Instead, the lawsuit pointed fingers at Wilson, accusing her of refusing to collaborate, being absent from the film for extended periods, and behaving unprofessionally with the film’s employees.</p>

<p>"She flatly refused to collaborate with Plaintiffs, absconded from the Film for months at a time, behaved unprofessionally with employees of the Film, and repeatedly made unauthorized and improper disclosures about the Film," reads a section of the legal document obtained by People.</p>

<p>The lawsuit further detailed that the conflict intensified after Wilson expressed interest in a co-writing credit and rights to the film's original music. According to the producers, Wilson sought credit for work she did not do, overshadowing other deserving artists.</p>

<p>The producers also addressed the withdrawal of <em>The Deb</em> from TIFF, explaining that ongoing disputes made it challenging to proceed with marketing the film. They claimed to have continuously attempted to resolve the issues in good faith, while Wilson allegedly used her social media influence to spread false statements and pressure them into meeting her demands.</p>

<p>"Even though the plan was always to show the Film at TIFF, Rebel attempted to force the issue and bully them into capitulating to her other unreasonable demands by leveraging her popularity on social media to spread these malicious and baseless lies about [the producers] to her 11 million Instagram followers," the lawsuit alleges. "This was a vindictive attempt to destroy [the producers’] reputations with what she knew were demonstrably false statements."</p>

<p>In response to the lawsuit, Wilson took to Instagram again, posting an on-set photo with a caption asserting the truth of her statements. "It’s not defamation if it’s the TRUTH," she wrote. Wilson also shared photos featuring the Australian cast and crew, reiterating her stance and claiming to have numerous witnesses supporting her allegations.</p>
