<p>American singer Rita Ora has finally broken her silence on speculations that she is in a "throuple" with her filmmaker-husband Taika Waititi and actress Tessa Thompson, which stemmed from a group picture that recently went viral.</p>

<p>The snap showed the 32-year-old singer&nbsp;and the 47-year-old filmmaker sitting and sharing an intimate hug with the 'Creed' star during a party session.</p>

<p>Addressing the rumours, Ora said, "Have you ever been in a situation where you've had a lot of drinks and everyone's your best friend? And then the next day you're like, 'I was talking to this person in the smoking area for four hours and I've got no idea who they are.' Literally - that (photograph) was just a bunch of friends having a good time. (Taika and Tessa) had a crazy schedule and everyone was letting loose."</p>

<p>She also told the British GQ that she chose "not to acknowledge" the headlines hoping that they would go away.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Waititi previously addressed the rumours&nbsp;in an interview with the Sydney Morning Herald. He said,&nbsp;"I think in the world of the internet, everything goes away pretty quickly."</p>

<p>He added, "And also, 'Is it that big a deal?' No, not really. I was doing nothing wrong. It's fine."</p>

<p>Rita also said her life "became better" when she got together with Taika, with whom she had been friends for several years before they embarked on a romantic relationship.</p>

<p>When asked how she knew Taika was the right person for her, she said, "When I didn't feel a change (from only being friends), like my life just became better."</p>

<p>"We were really good friends for six years, and I went to Australia and we both had separate jobs, and we didn't really know that many people out there. It was nice to see a familiar face and our universes just collided. That was it," she added.</p>

<p>Ora further reiterated that she never thought about settling down until she met Taika.</p>

<p>She said, "It was our bond that made me think, I'm ready to settle down. I never think about things like that because I don't want to jinx anything."</p>

Rita Ora blames alcohol for group kiss picture with husband Taika Waititi & Tessa Thompson

<p>After allegedly receiving death threats over the content of his upcoming film 'Gandhi Godse: Ek Yudh',&nbsp;filmmaker Rajkumar Santoshi, on Monday, filed a police complaint&nbsp;and requested additional security for himself. Santoshi&nbsp;wrote a letter to the Special Commissioner of Police Deven Bharti and reported that ever&nbsp;since a&nbsp;group of people with vested interests interrupted one of his press conferences, he has been receiving&nbsp;death threats online.</p>

<p>"Later several threats were received from some unknown people asking me to stop the release and promotion of this movie. I feel unsafe and I submit that grave damage and injury could be caused to me and my family members if such persons are set free," Santoshi said in the letter.</p>

<p>The filmmaker requested the police officials to take the necessary steps, in connection to the complaint.</p>

<p>"I request you to urgently provide me with additional security to protect myself and other members of my family," the filmmaker, known for making hard-hitting dramas such as 'Ghayal', 'Damini', and 'Pukar, added.</p>

<p>During a press conference of 'Gandhi Godse: Ek Yudh', which was held on Friday, a few protesters, who posed as media personnel, waved black flags and shouted slogans like "Mahatma Gandhi Zindabaad". They claimed the film undermines the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi and glorifies his assassin, Nathuram Godse.</p>

<p>The makers of the film reported the incident to the police immediately to avoid any unpleasant situation.</p>

<p>Written and helmed by Santoshi, the film depicts the war between the two opposing ideologies between Gandhi and Godse. It features Deepak Antani and Chinmay Mandlekar as Mahatma Gandhi and Nathuram Godse, respectively.</p>

<p>Backed by Santoshi Productions LLP and PVR Pictures, the film&nbsp;is scheduled to hit theatres on January 26.&nbsp;</p>

Rajkumar Santoshi gets death threats over 'Gandhi Godse - Ek Yudh'; seeks police protection

<p>The shooting of Joel Souza directorial 'Rust' will continue with Alec Baldwin in the lead role, an attorney&nbsp;for the production shared via a statement on Monday. The statement of the lawyer comes days after prosecutors stated that they will charge the actor in the fatal shooting of the movie's cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.</p>

<p>According to the latest update, Alec&nbsp;will continue to play grandfather Harland Rust in the film while Joel will return as its director following his wounding in the fatal October 2021 shooting, revealed Melina Spadone, an attorney for 'Rust' movie productions.</p>

<p>The late cinematographer&nbsp;Hutchins' husband Matt Hutchins will remain&nbsp;executive producer of the project, she added. "The film is still on track to be completed," Spadone shared&nbsp;in the statement.</p>

<p>This Thursday, Santa Fe District Attorney Mary Carmack-Altwies&nbsp;said that she plans to charge both Baldwin and the film's armourer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the cinematographer's death.</p>

<p>Baldwin in October reached a settlement of a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the Hutchins family under which Hutchins would take a production role in 'Rust' and filming would resume this month.</p>

<p>Baldwin has denied responsibility for the shooting, saying live ammunition should never have been allowed on set and weapons handlers were responsible for firearm safety.</p>

<p>An investigation by Santa Fe County Sheriff's Office has yet to reveal how live rounds got inside the production.</p>

<p>Legal analysts said prosecutors face an uphill battle convicting Baldwin of criminal charges without proof he knew live ammunition was present and took no precautions.</p>

<p>"There doesn't seem to be a lot of evidence that people were acting in a way that they were actually aware of what the danger was, and acting with disregard for the danger," said Kate Mangels, an attorney with entertainment law firm Kinsella Weitzman Iser Kump Holley.</p>

'Rust' to be completed with Alec Baldwin as lead star, attorney says

<p>South Korea has fully emerged as a major hub for drama, filmmaking and pop music production. K-pop, which has steadily built its power through its deeply connected fan base, has unleashed an aesthetic that's changing tastes, pop-culture-based activism, and even tie-in products for children. Last week, WION got the opportunity to interact with the young K-Pop band Blackswan, who shared with us their ideas and joys of being a part of popular culture.</p>

<p>WION sat down for a chat in a video-based interaction, after their performance at the Hockey World Cup in India's Odisha last week.&nbsp;</p>

<p><b>My first question is to all of you... How was your trip to India? I also want to know about your performance at the hockey world cup. Were you nervous?</b></p>

<p>Gabi: We were really tired coming to India during the travel but at the time we stepped in we were like, oh&nbsp;my god, we&nbsp;will do everything. Our energy came back, we were like pretty excited about the performance. Yes, it was really good.</p>

<p>Fatou: For me, I was really really excited to come to India as Sriya has been telling us soo much great stuff about India. and I can tell you at this point, when she told us,&nbsp;the food, the concert - was amazing, the energy.&nbsp;We were a bit nervous but the moment we saw the crowd, it was so welcoming, so warm.</p>

<p>Nvee: I was especially nervous because I had just debuted as a member of the group and was training for like two months, before al this had happened. At first, I was like ah na, I got this, it's no problem and once we got there and we were about to go on stage, I was like ahhhh (shivering). But I think once we reached there and the music started I wasn't worried about anything else.</p>

<p>Fatou: She did great</p>

<p>Nvee: Thank you, it was really good the travel, the travel was good for me I don't know about you guys. I ate and slept, that's all that matters. India was so&nbsp;beautiful, the architecture and the colours.&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p><b>My next question is for Sriya... You've interacted with WION earlier (And told us you learnt Odissi for five years.)&nbsp;Now you are very popular in K-pop. What difference do you feel between Indian culture and K-pop culture?</b></p>

<p>Sriya: First of all I would say that K-pop is more like western and our Indian culture is more about classical so they are two different things. So it is kinda hard to do western when you learn singing in Indian classical form. It's really a big change but everyone had me over here, I practised a lot, oh my god,&nbsp;it took me one year to catch up. Not one year but almost 6 months of training and then finally I could do both, but I am still not that good but I tried&nbsp;my best to do that. Yes, it's different but both are good in their own ways.</p>

<p><b>Coming to Gabi now... You and Sriya made news last year when you joined Blackswan. You are from Brazil, what inspiration have you personally taken from your native place? Has that helped you in your journey as a K-pop star?</b></p>

<p>Gabi: So my biggest inspiration for sure is singer Anita, not sure where she came from ------ a really small place and everyone always told her, oh your dream is too big and you can't achieve it and now she is really famous and like an international singer and almost everyone knows her. So she is for sure, my biggest inspiration from brazil and she helped me, without knowing, she helped me achieve this.</p>

<p><b>My next question is for Fatou. It's a question I have to ask... What explains the popularity and the huge fan following of K-pop?</b></p>

<p>Fatou: For me, I feel like in the last few years the quality of the music has gone way higher in stake and also a lot more cultures involved in K-pop so lot more styles and now a lot more reach worldwide so this year almost, totally popular, music jars have grown more, like this year. Afrobeat was really popular in the K-pop community, so K-pop reached countries that love Afro beats&nbsp;</p>

<p><b>Nvee... You come from the U.S., a place where there has been a rise of k-pop... Why do you think it has become such a popular form of entertainment?</b></p>

<p>Nvee: Like Fatou said it has so many different cultures and aspects that are thrown into the K-pop music industry so the kit can really reach so many people and so many different types of sounds that people will like, but personally each person who is a fan of K-pop has their own style and group that they love from their heart and the idols who they support. They give something to reach for, something to hope for, something to be happy for, and it's just touching to see all that.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For somebody who might love&nbsp;BTS, Blackpink, Stray Kids or Shinee,&nbsp;there is always that one group that is always out there for that one person. And I think that's how things trend, oh my gosh... u like this group and I love this group too and it gets around.</p>

<p><b>Last but not least... What are your future plans? Like the famous K-pop bands BTS and Blackpink, do you see yourself on the top charts in the years to come?</b></p>

<p>Fatou: Our future plans are actually putting out a lot of music and just letting the world know who Blackswan is in our own way, in our own unique way, put out a lot of music and be ready for that we hope for a big world war top charts and I feel like we have pretty big goals, we will reach those, we have been practising a lot and watching the fans, they are connecting with us and we are connecting with them. It gives us the energy to perform more and it gives us the energy to work harder and we don't want to leave them, it is the biggest thing that inspires us. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Gabi: And literally our next step now for sure is to achieve the highest position possible on the charts with the new song and release more and more cute music for our Lumina fans and one step at a time but we have really big dreams.</p>

<p>Fatou: For me, this year would be to connect more with Lumina, Blackswan's fandom,&nbsp;because they have been with us, and they keep supporting us and I really want to be more closer to them. And also we will release awesome music and perform.&nbsp;I want to meet every single Lumina out there this year.</p>

<p>Nvee: I think for me again with the charts and meeting with the lumina, but personally I just want to practise more, because there is so much that I have yet to learn to perfect and nothing ever is gonna be perfect but at least I always strive to do my best whether it's perfect or not but make sure that its at least up to par. Because when I dreamed of being an idol, I dreamt&nbsp;of delivering a&nbsp;jaw-dropping performance on stage.</p>

WION Exclusive: K-pop band 'Blackswan' on their trip to India, future plans and more

<p>A year after a streaming service won Hollywood’s top honour for the first time, big-screen spectacles are poised to dominate nominations to the 95th Academy Awards on Tuesday.</p>

<p>Nominations will be announced at 8:30 am EST from the academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California. They will air live on ABC’s 'Good Morning America' and will be live-streamed on Oscars.org, Oscars.com and on several of the academy’s social media platforms. Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal) and Allison Williams (M3gan) will read the nominees.</p>

<p>If things go as expected, 'Top Gun: Maverick', 'Avatar: The Way of Water',&nbsp;'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever'&nbsp;and 'Elvis'&nbsp;could all rack up somewhere between six and nine nominations. If last year’s Oscars were dominated by streaming — Apple TV+’s 'CODA'&nbsp;won best picture and Netflix landed 27 nominations — movies that drew moviegoers to multiplexes make up many of this year’s top contenders.</p>

<p>That includes 'Everything Everywhere All at Once',&nbsp;the A24 sci-fi indie hit. Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan’s multiverse-skipping tale could walk away with the most nominations Tuesday, including nods for Michelle Yeoh and comeback kid Ke Huy Quan.</p>

<p>Also at the front of the pack is 'The Banshees of Inisherin', Martin McDonagh’s Ireland-set dark comedy, which is set to score as many as four acting nods, including nominations for Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson.</p>

<p>Steven Spielberg’s 'The Fabelmans'&nbsp;struggled to catch on with audiences, but the director’s autobiographical coming-of-age tale is set to land Spielberg his 20th Oscar nomination and eighth nod for best director.

A year after a streaming service won Hollywood’s top honour for the first time, big-screen spectacles are poised to dominate nominations to the 95th Academy Awards on Tuesday.

A year after a streaming service won Hollywood’s top honour for the first time, big-screen spectacles are poised to dominate nominations to the 95th Academy Awards on Tuesday. Nominations will be announced at 8:30 am EST from the academy’s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills, California. They will air live on ABC’s 'Good Morning America' and will be live-streamed on Oscars.org, Oscars.com and on several of the academy’s social media platforms. Riz Ahmed (Sound of Metal) and Allison Williams (M3gan) will read the nominees. If things go as expected, 'Top Gun: Maverick', 'Avatar: The Way of Water', 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' and 'Elvis' could all rack up somewhere between six and nine nominations. If last year’s Oscars were dominated by streaming — Apple TV+’s 'CODA' won best picture and Netflix landed 27 nominations — movies that drew moviegoers to multiplexes make up many of this year’s top contenders. That includes 'Everything Everywhere All at Once', the A24 sci-fi indie hit. Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan’s multiverse-skipping tale could walk away with the most nominations Tuesday, including nods for Michelle Yeoh and comeback kid Ke Huy Quan. Also at the front of the pack is 'The Banshees of Inisherin', Martin McDonagh’s Ireland-set dark comedy, which is set to score as many as four acting nods, including nominations for Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson. Also read: Sean Penn’s documentary on Russia-Ukraine conflict 'Superpower' to premiere at Berlinale 2023 Steven Spielberg’s 'The Fabelmans' struggled to catch on with audiences, but the director’s autobiographical coming-of-age tale is set to land Spielberg his 20th Oscar nomination and eighth nod for best director. John Williams, his longtime composer, should extend his record for the most Oscar nominations for a living person. Another nod for best score will give Williams his 53rd nomination, a number that trails only Walt Disney’s 59.

Oscar nominations could give blockbusters a boost this Tuesday

<p>This Sunday, ace director James Cameron entered an exclusive club, one that just includes him so far, and became the only director to have helmed three films that crossed the $2 billion mark at the global box office.</p>

<p>After witnessing the massive success of 'Avatar: The Way of Water', the filmmaker has marked a hattrick, adding to his two crown jewels 'Avatar' and 'Titanic', which made $2.9 billion and $2.1 billion respectively.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Apart from Cameron's films, only three other movies have passed the $2 billion milestone at the global BO, and all three of them are Disney-owned.</p>

<p>'Avengers: Endgame' made $2.7 billion, 'Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens' made $2.071 billion and 'Avengers: Infinity War' made $2.052 billion at the global box office.&nbsp;</p>

James Cameron becomes first director to have three $2 billion movies post Avatar 2 success

<p>Lisa Marie Presley, a singer, songwriter and the daughter of Elvis Presley, was remembered during a funeral service Sunday as a loving mother and an “old soul” who endured tragedy but persevered as a dedicated protector of her father’s legacy as a rock ‘n’ roll pioneer and pop icon.</p>

<p>More than a thousand people gathered on the front lawn of Graceland on a grey, chilly Memphis morning to mourn the death and remember the life of Lisa Marie Presley, who died on January&nbsp;12 after she was taken to a hospital in California.</p>

<p>Some mourners held flowers as they waited for the service to begin under the tall trees on the lawn of Graceland, the home in Memphis where Lisa Marie lived as a child with her father. The mansion, which Lisa Marie Presley owned, has been turned into a museum and tourist attraction that hundreds of thousands of fans visit each year to celebrate the life and music of Elvis, who died in 1977 at age 42.</p>

<p>The property in south Memphis was a place of sadness and sombre memories on Sunday. The service began with the singing of 'Amazing Grace' by Jason Clark &amp; The Tennessee Mass Choir.</p>

<p>“We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude for the love, compassion and support you have shown our family during this difficult time,” said a message from the Presley family written on the program for the service. “We will always be grateful.”</p>

<p>Among those who spoke during the service were Lisa Marie’s mother, actor Priscilla Presley; Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York; Jerry Schilling, a close friend of Elvis; and former Memphis Mayor A C Wharton, who called Lisa Marie’s parents Memphis’ royal couple and a “conduit to the throne, the keeper of the flame.”</p>

<p>In a soft voice, Priscilla Presley read a poem from one of Lisa Marie’s three daughters, Harper Vivienne Ann Lockwood, entitled 'The Old Soul', in which she calls her mother “an icon, a role model, a superhero to many people all over the world.”</p>

<p>“In 1968, she entered our world, born tired, fragile, yet strong. She was delicate, but was filled with life,” Priscilla Presley read. “She always knew she wouldn’t be here too long. Childhood passes by, with a glimpse of her green eye. She then grew a family of her own.”</p>

<p>After reading the poem, Priscilla Presley said,&nbsp;“Our heart is broken. Lisa, we all love you.”</p>

<p>Music punctuated the service. Billy Corgan, the lead singer of The Smashing Pumpkins, played acoustic guitar and sang 'To Sheila'. Alanis Morissette sang 'Rest', Axl Rose, of Guns N’ Roses, played the piano and sang 'November Rain', and The Blackwood Brothers Quartet performed two songs.</p>

<p>After the service, mourners walked through Graceland’s Meditation Garden, where she was laid to rest in an above-ground grave next to her son Benjamin Keough, who died in 2020, and alongside her grandparents and great-grandmother.</p>

<p>Wreaths and bouquets of red, white, yellow and pink flowers lined the walk up to the gravesite and the tomb itself. Fans, some teary-eyed, walked slowly by the tomb, pausing to pay their respects.</p>

<p>Jordan Clark, 25, travelled from Mobile, Alabama, to attend the service. She called the ceremony special and heartwarming. Clark said Lisa Marie “went through a lot” in her life and equated the service to the time when Elvis died, when “people came from all over.”</p>

<p>“She was born into the public, born into fame. That’s hard for some people,” Clark said. “She handled it like a champ. I think.”</p>

<p>Lisa Marie was 9 when her father died. She was staying at Graceland at the time and would recall him kissing her goodnight hours before he died. When she next saw him, the following day, he was lying face down in the bathroom.</p>

<p>After her father died, she became the sole heir of the Elvis Presley Trust, which, along with Elvis Presley Enterprises, managed Graceland and other assets until she sold her majority interest in 2005. She retained ownership of the mansion itself, the 13 acres around it and items inside the home.</p>

<p>A representative from Elvis Presley Enterprises has told The Associated Press that the mansion is in a trust that will go to the benefit of her children. Along with Harper, she is survived by two other daughters,&nbsp;Riley Keough and Finley Aaron Love Lockwood.</p>

<p>Riley Keough, an actor, did not speak at the service. Her husband, Ben Smith-Petersen, read a statement in which she remembers Lisa Marie taking her for ice cream, bringing her tea sets from Cracker Barrel, and leaving notes in her lunchbox.</p>

<p>“Thank you for giving me strength, my heart, my empathy, my courage, my sense of humour, my manners, my temper, my wildness, my tenacity,” Riley Keough said in the statement. “I’m a product of your heart.”</p>

Lisa Marie Presley's funeral service: Stars pay their respects to late singer at famous Graceland mansion

<p>This weekend, Hollywood star Cate Blanchett revealed in a candid conversation that her latest role as obsessive Lydia Tar was so physically and emotionally draining that she contemplated retirement and became profoundly homesick for her Australian homeland.</p>

<p>The 53-year-old actress appeared on The Sunday Project and admitted that she considered quitting the industry after her last experience on set. She is currently being tipped for another Oscar for her portrayal of an obsessive composer in 'Tar'.</p>

<p>On the Australian show, the actress said, "I think it was because it was such a physical role, the echoes of it are still with me and I think I'm like a lot of audience members, I need time to process it."</p>

<p>She added, "Obviously I'm lucky enough to work with some amazing directors who have changed my life, but when it all comes together like that, it does stay with you."</p>

<p>Blanchett then laughed and said, "So I don't ever want to work again."</p>

<p>The mother of four added that her work across the globe has left her pining for her family and she has been left "profoundly homesick over the last four years". She added that she dreams of returning to her country where she can garden and be near water.</p>

<p>"I'm very obsessed, as most Australians, obsessed by water. I want to be by the water, in the water," she said. "I would love to learn to be patient, to be still and think.

Cate Blanchett drops 'retirement' bombshell; says she doesn't 'ever want to work again'

<p>Brendan Fraser feels we need to stop bullying obese people and change our perspective towards obesity as a society. In a new interview, the actor said that a step in the right direction would be to stop being biased towards obese people and not lose sight of the fact that they too are human beings with "thoughts, feelings, hearts and families".</p>

<p>Fraser added, "And it's a story that is being played out behind closed doors."</p>

<p>"I needed a guide and Darren provided that for me," Fraser said before The Whale's director Darren Aronofsky interrupted, "Just the idea popped up and then meeting him, he was just such a clear gentleman. And, he just had a lot to give and no one had been willing to take it, and so it was an exciting collaboration to start on."</p>

<p>Fraser then went on to share why he feels recriminating and hurtful&nbsp;statements can have long-term effects on someone's health.</p>

<p>"So often many of the people told me, when they were young, there was a figure in their life, who was either a parent, teacher, an adult, who spoke to them in a way that was recriminating, fundamentally being hurtful towards one another with what we say has real-life health concerns. And, it seems like, a single enough thing, we can do better to change that," the actor told BBC.</p>

<p>The film debuted to mixed reviews, but critics praised the 54-year-old actor for his performance. He won the Best Actor award at the Critics Choice Awards and got nominated at the Golden Globes and Baftas.</p>

<p>The film also stars&nbsp;Sadie Sink, Hong Chau, Ty Simpkins, and Samantha Morton. It was released last year in December.</p>

Fraser added, "And it's a story that is being played out behind closed doors." "I needed a guide and Darren provided that for me," Fraser said before The Whale's director Darren Aronofsky interrupted, "Just the idea popped up and then meeting him, he was just such a clear gentleman. And, he just had a lot to give and no one had been willing to take it, and so it was an exciting collaboration to start on." Fraser then went on to share why he feels recriminating and hurtful statements can have long-term effects on someone's health. "So often many of the people told me, when they were young, there was a figure in their life, who was either a parent, teacher, an adult, who spoke to them in a way that was recriminating, fundamentally being hurtful towards one another with what we say has real-life health concerns. And, it seems like, a single enough thing, we can do better to change that," the actor told BBC.

He won the Best Actor award at the Critics Choice Awards and got nominated at the Golden Globes and Baftas. The film also stars Sadie Sink, Hong Chau, Ty Simpkins, and Samantha Morton. It was released last year in December. WATCH WION LIVE HERE You can now write for wionews.com and be a part of the community. Share your stories and opinions with us here.

'The Whale' star Brendan Fraser calls out bias against obese people and stands for body positivity

<p>The trailer of Luv Ranjan’s most awaited romantic comedy ‘Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar’ was released at a mega event today and the reaction was ecstatic. The trailer was a breath of fresh air, with crackling chemistry between the lead pair, stunning visuals, hilarious dialogues and a concept which is as fun, unexpected and twisted as the title itself and yet totally relatable. 'Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar' seems to be the one film that can bring romance back to the theatre, but in 2023 style.</p>

<p>Standup king Anubhav Singh Bassi, who is making his acting debut with this&nbsp;film, took the mic to host the event, and he literally brought the house down with his witty one-liners and set the stage up for the launch of the most entertaining trailer of the year.</p>

<p>When the Jhoothi Shraddha and the Makkaar Ranbir joined the stage with director Luv Ranjan, the anecdotes flowed and it was visible that the shoot of the film was as much fun as it looked on the screen. The trailer also gave a glimpse of the fantastic music that is in the movie with the magic of Pritam, Amitabh Bhattacharya and Arijit Singh coming together.</p>

<p>Audiences have waited for a long time for a genuine young rom-com film and TJMM surely has all the boxes checked. The trailer makes the anticipation for the film climb a couple of notches higher. The film will hit&nbsp;screens worldwide on Holi, 8th March 2023.</p>

The world and vibe of the film have been brought alive by the super-talented pair of Shradha and Ranbir and my brilliant crew. I am hoping for audiences across all ages, young and young at heart to have a good time in the theatres while they relate to their own romance when they watch the film."</p>

Akshay Kumar begins filming for 'Bade Miyan Chote Miyan' with Tiger Shroff

<p>It's been four years since Queen B aka Beyonce headlined a show&nbsp;and&nbsp;performed in front of a live audience. The singer deserved a fittingly grand return and Dubai gave her just that. This Saturday, she performed at a star-studded show, which started as&nbsp;a theatrical production. Violinists crowned with metallic gold headpieces and voluminous red skirts were the first to take over the stage. Then Beyonce's dancers and some more musicians reached the stage in matching garbs and posed in front of the Egyptian-themed backdrop.</p>

<p>The performance was&nbsp;part of Atlantis Resort's 'Grand Reveal' weekend celebration of the new Atlantis The Royal in Dubai, which is set to open next month.</p>

<p>Fans and guests then got to see&nbsp;Beyonce, raised up on a platform wearing a yellow corseted dress, a feathered skirt and a feathered backpiece, at the invite-only, hour-long performance.</p>

<p>Fireworks exploded above the venue as the iconic singer&nbsp;opened the show with Etta James' song 'At Last'. Then, she said on the mic that her mom Tina Knowles, father Mathew Knowles, her "beautiful husband" Jay-Z and their children, Blue Ivy, Rumi, and Sir Carter were all present at the venue to support her.</p>

<p>While Jay-Z enjoyed Beyonce's performance from&nbsp;his seat, Blue Ivy took&nbsp;the stage for the 'Crazy in Love' performance. The 11-year-old proved that she's a star-in-the-making as she strolled out in a red sequined jumpsuit with a billowy skirt, and flipped her braids while she walked beside her mom.</p>

<p>Videos of the performance have taken social media by storm. Take a look!</p>

Beyonce breaks the internet with her first performance in 4 years | Viral Videos

<p>'Quantico' star Priyanka Chopra Jonas, in a new interview, revealed that her husband and American pop star husband Nick Jonas helped her overcome her insecurities and she gets affirmations from him all the time. She also praised him for being wise "beyond his years".</p>

<p>"He's a wise man beyond his years. I get affirmations from him all the time, to remind me of my value when I forget or when I get insecure. He just sees through the fog for me. He sees the best in people," Priyanka told British Vogue Magazine.</p>

<p>"We didn't know each other's careers before we met. Like, didn't know them well. So we do a show and tell once in a while and share random things that we've done to show the other person what we were like when we were younger."</p>

<p>The couple started dating in 2017. That year, they attended the Met Gala together.</p>

<p>The two tied the knot in Hindu and Christian ceremonies in 2018. They exchanged wedding vows on December 1 in a Catholic ceremony officiated by the groom's father Kevin Jonas Sr. It was followed by a wedding as per Hindu traditions on December 2.</p>

<p>While talking about having more representation from India and South Asia on the global stage, Priyanka said, "Hopefully I'll open doors for the next generation of girls. Hopefully we'll see more Indian or South Asian actors in Hollywood. I want to commemorate the success and achievements of South Asians outside of India, in the international sphere, because we deserve that position. Why shouldn't we be on the main stage?"</p>

<p>On the movie front, the actress will be next seen in James Strouse's romantic drama 'Love Again'. The film also stars Sam Heughan.</p>

<p>Soon the actress will be making her web series debut with Russo Brother's 'Citadel', wherein she will be collaborating with 'Game Of Thrones'&nbsp;star Richard Madden.</p>

<p>Apart from this, Priyanka also has Farhan Akhtar's 'Jee Le Zaraa', which also stars&nbsp;Katrina Kaif and Alia Bhatt.</p>

<p>If slow-paced, instrumental music isn't helping you fall asleep faster, try listening to 'Dynamite' by BTS, 'Lovely' by Billie Eilish and Khalid, 'Jealous' by Labrinth, 'Falling' by Harry Styles and 'The Scientist' by Coldplay. In a new study, scientists have found that these songs may be able to facilitate better shut-eye.</p>

<p>A team of researchers in&nbsp;Denmark found that there isn't a "one size fits all" genre of music&nbsp;people listen to fall asleep. "It was surprising to see how many different types of music people use for sleep," Kira Vibe Jespersen, an assistant professor at the Center for Music in the Brain at Aarhus University, told The Post via email.</p>

<p>"Not only different genres, but also different audio characteristics… ranging from slow, soothing instrumental tracks to more energetic uptempo pop music,"&nbsp;Jespersen added.</p>

<p>The authors of the study, published in the journal PLOS One, analysed more than 200,000 songs from a thousand Spotify playlists associated with sleep and found that people do use uptempo music to get a shut eye.</p>

<p>Actress Rashmika Mandanna recently revealed that she will join the shooting schedule of&nbsp;the sequel of the 2021 blockbuster 'Pushpa: The Rise' next month. She still has some time to prep for her role and remember her dialogues.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Mandanna also revealed that Allu Arjun and other actors have started the film's shoot and are currently busy breathing life into their vision.</p>

<p>She said, "The boys have started shooting, and I'll be joining the shoot next month, so I'm really excited! And, the things that I'm hearing from the second half is (made the explosion sound). Really mind blown about how (director) Sukumar sir is coming up with these things, because if you watch the first half, you just feel like that is the story itself."</p>

<p>She further mentioned while talking on FC Front Row, "But the second part is something much more than the first part and you're like "wow, now that's something fabulous!"</p>

<p>"At the same time, I think all of us actors from Pushpa 1 have seen our work in the first half, and now we're much more clearer on what kind of a world we're living in. So I think all our performances are going to change. I think the performances are going to get more intense in the second half. And yeah guys, it's going to be amazing."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, her co-star Sidharth Malhotra spoke about the similarities being drawn between 'Mission Majnu' and the 2018 film 'Raazi'. The actor&nbsp;said, "I think it's never a bad thing when people are trying to use a reference point for a film, especially comparing it to a good film. Yes, the elements on the outer periphery of seeing a trailer might look similar, it is in the same decade, similar elements."</p>

<p>"But, I think the experience is completely different. It's only fair to speak to people once they see the film, the arcs...as I said, we're only trying to give the elements which you need to decide to click, in today's day and age, or to get engaged," he added.</p>

<p>In his blockbuster film 'Kantara', Kannada actor and director Rishab went back to his roots in coastal Karnataka to share a story that unifies nature, humanity, and the divine in the form of Bhoota Kola festival.

Kantara star Rishab Shetty attends Bhoota Kola festival to thank 'daiva' & witness divine in real form | VIDEO

<p>Best known as the hunky, sea-dwelling superhero 'Aquaman',&nbsp;actor Jason Momoa brought a stark and sober warning about the perils of deep-sea mining to the Sundance film festival on Friday. The Hawaiian-born A-lister narrates 'Deep Rising', a new documentary about the frenzied efforts by resource-hungry corporations to scrape valuable metals from vast swathes of the Pacific floor.</p>

<p>Supporters of deep-sea mining claim that pellets of nickel and cobalt -- used in electric car batteries -- can be conveniently scooped off the seabed, helping reduce our fossil fuel reliance.</p>

<p>But conservation groups and scientists fear this could devastate poorly understood marine systems that play a crucial role in regulating the climate, and some nations have called for bans.</p>

<p>"There are moments where I cried and got emotional" narrating the film, Momoa told AFP, before its world premiere at the festival in Utah.</p>

<p>"It's very important, to use your power for good. It's all the things I'm passionate about," added the actor, who took marine biology courses as a student, and is a UN Environment Program advocate for the oceans.</p>

<p>The documentary follows key players in the fledgling industry including The Metals Company, a Canadian group pushing to mine the Clarion Clipperton Zone -- a vast expanse of the seafloor near Hawaii.</p>

<p>The film goes behind the scenes as its chief executive Gerard Barron courts wealthy investors with promises that little harm will be done to "the most barren, desolate part of the planet," in contrast to the devastation that ongoing mining is causing rainforests.</p>

<p>But 'Deep Rising' director Matthieu Rytz told AFP that "we know so little" about the real risk to the deep ocean.</p>

<p>"Extraction on the seafloor, it's just a rush, because we don't have enough science to really understand what's happening there," he said.</p>

<p><strong>- 'The new oil' -</strong></p>

<p>Still, The Metals Company has said it expects to be mining 10 million tons of material from the ocean floor every year, starting in 2025.</p>

<p>And it is just one of about 20 research institutes or corporations that hold ocean exploration contracts, awaiting the go-ahead to begin commercial-scale mining.</p>

<p>Rytz's film argues that the energy crisis has no "silver bullet," and that the brewing race to harvest critical metals is not a solution but "the new oil," and could trigger future resource wars.</p>

<p>It shows meetings of the International Seabed Authority, described by Rytz as an "obscure room in Kingston, Jamaica" where delegates decide "the future of 65 per cent of the planet's surface."</p>

<p>"This is beyond national jurisdiction. It's the high seas," said Rytz."It belongs to all of us or none of us."</p>

<p>Rytz speaks in the film with scientists who argue that alternative clean, more abundant energy sources such as hydrogen should be explored for car engines, or that transport options such as high-speed rail should be expanded.</p>

<p>"We don't need these metals in the first place," he said. "The places we're going to be mining, it's total damage. There's no half damage. It's like clear-cutting a rainforest."</p>

Bollywood star Kartik Aaryan, who was last seen on the silver screen in 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' and on OTT in 'Freddy', will be staying at actor Shahid Kapoor's lavish Juhu apartment on rent.

Bollywood star Kartik Aaryan, who was last seen on the silver screen in 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 2' and on OTT in 'Freddy', will be staying at actor Shahid Kapoor's lavish Juhu apartment on rent. For the sea-facing property, the 'Love Aaj Kal' actor has agreed to pay a monthly rent of Rs 7.5 lakh for the first twelve months, Rs 8 lakh for the second year and Rs 8.58 lakh for the third year. The lease terms indicate a 7 per cent escalation in rent every year. Shahid reportedly bought the apartment, located in the Praneta building on Juhu Tara Road, in 2014 before he tied the knot with Mira Rajput. The actor was staying there until last year with his two kids, Zain and Misha, and his wife. The family of four reportedly moved into a swanky new duplex located in Mumbai's Worli in September last year. The property's proximity to Juhu beach is its main attraction. As per reports, the property is spread over 3,681 sq ft and comes with two huge parking spaces. Aaryan has paid Rs 45 lakh as the security deposit. The stamp duty and registration for the 36-month lease transaction were done last week. Shahid’s wife has done the transaction on the actor's behalf with Aaryan’s mother Mala Tiwari, according to documents accessed through zapkey.com. Before moving into their new home in Worli, Shahid and Mira often shared photos and videos from their Juhu home. The spacious sit-out nook of the property is probably the most seen zone of the house.

Inside photos of Shahid Kapoor's sea-facing Juhu home where Kartik Aaryan currently stays

<p>Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor, who is currently gearing up for his OTT&nbsp;debut with&nbsp;'Farzi', has spoken about the future of cinema, what works for the audience, the success of 'Kantara', and a lot more in a new interview. The actor furnished the recent example of the breakout success of 'Kantara' and said that good content will always work.</p>

<p>Speaking about the Kannada film, which has been written and directed by its lead actor Rishab Shetty, Shahid&nbsp;told IANS,&nbsp;"How would you judge a film like 'Kantara', man? It was not a spectacle when it was released. Of course, it is a spectacle to watch but it was the audience that made that film what it has become now."</p>

<p>Delving deeper, he stated, "It's more about what cinematic experience a film can provide. I agree that there is a clear demarcation between different content pieces but I don't see this as a change in trend. I just feel that multiple things have happened in the last three years and the differentiation is what I want to watch at home and what I am willing to watch in the theatres."</p>

<p>Further sharing his observation and insights, he expressed, "One thing that I have observed in the audience is that they are not willing to pay their hard-earned money for mediocre content. Unless your content is good, it has a certain scale, it has a certain entertainment quotient, it won't work. The audience wants to watch good content. They are willing to walk into the theatres but you have to bring your A-game to the table."</p>

<p>Changing the course of the conversation, the actor added, "Another thing is that the pandemic was very challenging for the entire fraternity because we work under certain conditions, this is a collaborative medium and there is a certain way of working. For instance, for 'Farzi', we hardly met before the shoot, we were constantly on Zoom calls trying to brainstorm from the confines of our homes staying as much safe as we could."</p>

<p>Shahid reiterated that filmmaking is a very touch-and-feel kind of job and one has to do a recce, visit the location and mark the boundaries for the shots, the props and the production design.</p>

<p>Shahid, who&nbsp;plays an artist turned counterfeiter in 'Farzi', shed some light on his character and said,&nbsp;"I found this character to be a very interesting dichotomy since he is an artiste, he creates something but his creation causes destruction to the economy in the long run.</p>

<p>"What I really love about Sunny (the character) is that I don't think he knows what he is or what he is capable of. I never judge the characters that I play, it's okay with me if people judge them or even hate them. My job as an actor is to put conviction and believability in my characters," he added.</p>

<p>"My favourite line of this character from the series is that he says he is helping the system by actually putting in more money. Every criminal has a justification for their actions and so does he," the actor concluded.</p>

<p>'Farzi' will premiere on Prime Video on February 10.</p>

Parineeti Chopra's reaction to Priyanka and Malti's first photoshoot wins internet

<p>Just a few days after the makers released the first look of Amy Winehouse's biopic 'Back to Black', it is being reported that Jack O'Connell, Eddie Marsan and Lesley Manville have joined the ensemble cast of Amy Winehouse's much-awaited biopic 'Back to Black', which stars Marisa Abela as the Grammy-winning singer who tragically died in 2011. She was 27 years old at the time.</p>

<p>Jack will play the role of Winehouse's beau, Blake Fielder-Civil, in the Sam Taylor-Johnson directorial. The two tied the knot&nbsp;in 2007 but after a tumultuous relationship that was filled with drugs and alcohol, the two filed for divorce in 2019, prior to Winehouse's sudden passing.</p>

<p>Marsan, on the other hand,&nbsp;will play the role of Winehouse's father and Manville will play her maternal grandmother.</p>

<p>Last week, a picture of Marisa Abela as the late English singer-songwriter was released online by the makers. The 26-year-old actress looked&nbsp;like a spitting image of the late singer in the first look post.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The snap showed the actress rocking Winehouse's signature beehive hairstyle and large hoop earrings. Take a look!</p>

Jack O'Connell, Lesley Manville, Eddie Marsan join the cast of Amy Winehouse's biopic 'Back to Black'

<p>Even though Selena Gomez and 'The Chainsmokers' star Andrew Taggart are currently hanging out together, it seems that the two are not actually dating each other. And, to confirm this, the 30-year-old 'Same Old Love' singer said in a now-deleted Instagram post that she likes being alone and is currently single.</p>

<p>Rumours of her relationship with Taggart started doing rounds when some photos, obtained by the New York Post's Page Six, showed the two stars bowling together at 'The Gutter'. Meanwhile, a&nbsp;source recently clarified to a publication that Gomez and Taggart were part of "a big group" who reached the bowling alley for a fun day out.</p>

<p>Posting a black-and-white photo on her official Instagram handle on Thursday, the actress-singer wrote, "I like being alone too much." She also added the hashtag "#iamsingle" at the bottom. Gomez deleted the post in a few hours.</p>

<p>On the professional front, Gomez has started filming for the third season of 'Only Murders in the Building' with Meryl Streep. Making an announcement on social media, the actress wrote, "Very, very grateful lady! @onlymurdershulu @hulu @johnnyhoffman5 thank you for making this wanna be an unbelievably, absurdly happy human."</p>

Kareena Kapoor turns cheerleader for Karishma as 'Brown' makes it to Berlinale Series Market Selects

<p>On Tuesday, Delhi High Court asked the makers of the upcoming movie 'Faraaz', which is&nbsp;based on the 2016 Dhaka terror attacks, to discuss and resolve their disputes with two victims' mothers, who recently moved an appeal challenging the film's release. The order was passed by a division bench of Justices Siddharth Mridul and Talwant Singh.</p>

<p>Earlier, a single-judge bench&nbsp;dismissed the mothers' plea, asking them&nbsp;to file an appeal instead.</p>

<p>The division bench said that if the filmmaker&nbsp;has decided to name the movie 'Faraaz', he should first assess and analyse what Urdu poet Ahmad Faraz stood for&nbsp;and resolve the issue.</p>

<p>"If you are naming the movie 'Faraaz', then you should know what Ahmad Faraz stood for. If you wish to be sensitive about the sentiments of a mother, then talk to her," the judge stated.</p>

<p>Contending that the producers have been insensitive about the issue, senior advocate Akhil Sibal representing the mothers, said that the deceased's and their family members' privacy should be maintained as it is one of the main aspects.</p>

<p>The attorney argued, "They did not even come to the family. That's been their approach. The learned single judge holds that since the girls are deceased there can be no right to privacy as regards their lives. That cannot be the approach. The question is whether the parents will have the right to privacy in relation to the lives of their daughters."</p>

<p>In response, the bench stated that it would not injunct the movie's release because the details are already out in the public. The next hearing is scheduled for January 24.</p>

<p>"We can ask them to sit with you and work this out. We don’t know if the law permits us to injunct the release of the film. The court can always ask you to be sensitive. You can't profit from somebody's misery. It is the statement of how right-minded people should conduct themselves. Please sit together," the court told the counsel appearing for Mehta.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Justice Mridul orally remarked, "People like sensational movies. People like movies based on true stories. What can you do?&nbsp;Not a single holocaust that man has ever experienced hasn't been put on celluloid. What do you do?"</p>

<p>"Dear [sun emoji], I embrace you now like I have never before. So spotted, I’m losing colour. I rise even before you every morning, to see you glimmer your first ray through the haze. Give me all you’ve got.

<p><strong>What is&nbsp;Vitiligo?</strong></p>

<p>Vitiligo is&nbsp;a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes patches of skin to lose&nbsp;pigment or colour. It's caused by the lack of melanin and the discoloured areas usually get bigger with time. This skin disorder is most noticeable among people with darker skin as the contrast between normal skin tone and white patches is more pronounced.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In this condition, the melanocytes, present in the skin that make pigments, are attacked and destroyed.</p>

<p><strong>Symptoms of&nbsp;Vitiligo </strong></p>

<p>The biggest sign of vitiligo is the appearance of light or depigmented spots on the skin. Other symptoms include:</p>

<ul>
	<li>Hair turning prematurely grey or white</li>
	<li>Eyelashes or eyebrows losing colour</li>
	<li>Change of colour in the retina of the eye</li>
	<li>Colour loss in the nose and mouth</li>

Check it out below! View this post on Instagram A post shared by Mamta Mohandas (@mamtamohan) What is Vitiligo? Vitiligo is a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes patches of skin to lose pigment or colour. It's caused by the lack of melanin and the discoloured areas usually get bigger with time. This skin disorder is most noticeable among people with darker skin as the contrast between normal skin tone and white patches is more pronounced. In this condition, the melanocytes, present in the skin that make pigments, are attacked and destroyed.

<p>'Avengers' actor Jeremy Renner's horrendous leg injury from a snowplough accident has left his friends and family worried. They fear that the injuries could leave the actor crippled for life. Renner is currently hospitalised and is on the road to recovery.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"Jeremy’s already had two delicate surgeries. But there are serious doubts he will ever be able to walk right again — or at all,"&nbsp;a source close to the situation was quoted as saying by RadarOnline. "His loved ones worry the damage was significant enough to prevent him from moving the way he used to — that is, if he doesn’t lose the leg altogether."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, one of the actor's friends opened up about his present condition and said, "It's much worse than anyone knows. Jeremy is very aware of the fact that he almost died out there."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"The right side of Jeremy's chest was crushed, and his upper torso had collapsed. He also had a bad head wound that was bleeding and a leg injury," the friend added.</p>

<p>The friend also stated that the actor almost "bled out" while waiting for help to arrive. "He was in a lot of pain and was having difficulty breathing," he added.</p>

<p>Italy’s National Museum of Cinema, on Monday, paid tribute to Oscar-winning actor Kevin Spacey and presented its highest honour, the Stella della Mole Award for lifetime achievement, to him. Making his first official speaking appearance since the #MeToo allegations derailed his acting career, Spacey thanked Enzo Ghigo, president of the National Museum, and Vittorio Sgarbi, Undersecretary to the Italian Ministry of Culture, for having the courage to invite him.</p>

<p>"I am truly blessed and grateful and humbled. And my heart is very full tonight toward the National Museum of Cinema for having had the 'le palle' to invite me tonight," Spacey said. Le palle is an Italian phrase used to describe a male body part synonymous with courage.</p>

<p>"By presenting this award, they are making a strong defence of artistic achievement and for that, they should be applauded," Spacey added.</p>

<p>After accepting the&nbsp;lifetime achievement award from the museum, he discussed his key roles during a master class and spoke about the 1999 film 'American Beauty', for which he won his second Oscar.</p>

<p>Spacey did not directly address the sexual misconduct allegations while receiving the award or during the hour-long masterclass.

<p>The actor choked up while thanking&nbsp;his manager Evan Lowenstein for his support, calling him the brother he never had.</p>
