<p>'Decoding Shankar', a 50-minute Documentary film, directed by Deepti Pillay Sivan has done our nation proud by winning not one, but two awards at the world’s most prestigious film festival - The Cannes World Film Festival! The film struck gold in the 'Best Indian Film' and 'Best Biographical Film' categories.</p>

<p><br />
Hearteningly, this isn’t the first time that 'Decoding Shankar' has wowed audiences and critics alike on the global stage. In fact, the film has won several awards in the 'Best International Documentary' category at multiple prestigious film festivals.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
These include the likes of the Toronto &nbsp;International Women Film Festival, the Indo-French International Film Festival, the Tokyo International Short Film Festival, Santa Monica Shorts, The Indie Fest Film Awards, the London Independent Film Festival, and the Red Movie Awards. A sterling list in itself!</p>

<p><br />
The film has also made it to the official selection list at the Montreal Independent Film Festival, the Chicago Indie Film Awards, the Stuttgart International Film Festival, the Jecheon Film and Music International Film Festival, the Madrid Imagine India International Film Festival, the Gaithersburg International Film Festival, and the International Film Festival of India.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
It isn’t just a biographical film with rich content centred around musical maestro, Shankar Mahadevan. Unlike other films of this genre, 'Decoding Shankar' offers audiences a more immersive experience closest to the source with Shankar himself narrating his story as the protagonist! Imagine hearing from Shankar as he recounts his fascinating journey - from his childhood to his dilemmas around becoming a full-time musician, from entering the would of ad jingles to eventually striking it big as a Composer and Artist.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
The documentary is interspersed with relevant anecdotes and bytes from Indian celebrities across industries such as Amitabh Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Javed Akhtar, Gulzar Sahib, Farhan Akhtar, Aamir Khan, Zakir Hussain, Louis Banks, and many others who speak about their association with Shankar Mahadevan over the years.<br />

<p>Singer-performer Selena Gomez says she has no plans to quit making her own music. She had earlier hinted at retiring from music to focus more on her acting and producing work.</p>

<p><br />
However, that seems to have changed. "I don't think I'll ever quit making music. I'm not saying I want a Grammy. I just feel like I'm doing the best I can, and it's all about me. Sometimes, that can really get to me," Selena was quoted as saying.</p>

<p><br />
Also, Gomez released her first Spanish language record in 2021 and said that it was a 'challenge', reported a global news site.</p>

<p><br />
"It was a challenge. I think speaking in Spanish is a lot easier than singing. I made sure that I didn't look like a fool. I focused so hard on making sure that the language I was speaking, and the way I was speaking it, was authentic," she told a magazine.</p>

<p><br />
Gomez went on to add, "I wanted it to exude love - to talk about pain, but in a way that was confident. There is a song about girls saying goodbye to things that aren't good for us."</p>

<p><br />
Earlier this year, Selena Gomez had said that she was considering retiring from music as she didn't feel like she was being taken seriously.<br />

<p>Dominique Thorne, The 'Judas and the Black Messiah' actress, will appear in 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' before starring as the titular hero of Disney+'s upcoming 'Ironheart' show, reveal reports.</p>

<p><br />
Marvel Studios chief, Kevin Feige, shared this news during a recent interview with a global site.</p>

<p><br />
"We're shooting 'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' right now, and the character of Riri Williams you will meet in 'Black Panther 2' first," Feige reportedly said. "She started shooting, I think, this week, before her 'Ironheart' series."</p>

<p><br />
Four short years after Riri's grand entrance, Marvel Studios announced it was developing a separate Disney+ show on her.</p>

<p><br />
As per reports, Riri's version was part of a bigger plan on the publisher's part to make its superhero lineup more inclusive, a mission that also led to the introduction of characters like Miles Morales' 'Spider-Man', Iman Vellani's 'Ms. Marvel', and Jane Foster's 'Thor'.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Miles was the lead character of the Academy-winning animated film 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse', Iman Vellani will play Ms. Marvel on her own Disney+ series and in 2022's 'The Marvels', and Natalie Portman will pick up Thor's hammer in 2022's 'Thor: Love and Thunder'.</p>

<p><br />
'Wakanda Forever' is the sequel to the groundbreaking 'Black Panther' &nbsp;and its production is currently underway in Atlanta.</p>

<p><br />
However, there's very little information on how will the movie move forward without Chadwick Boseman, who played the titular character before his death in 2020.</p>

<p><br />
Meanwhile, Daniel Kaluuya, Danai Gurira, Lupita Nyong'o, Letitia Wright, Angela Bassett, and Winston Duke are all expected return for 'Wakanda Forever', which will also star 'I May Destroy You' actor Michaela Coel in an yet-to-be-revealed role.</p>

'Black Panther: Wakanda Forever' is slated to hit theaters on July 8 next year.</p>

<p>Prince Harry's upcoming memoir has been generating a lot of buzz lately. And, after declaring that this book is going to reveal his side of the story, the British Royal Family member has now shared that he will be donating $1.5 million from the proceeds of his book to charity.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
On August 19, while attending a polo match for Sentable (the charity he co-founded), the Duke of Sussex made the announcement. "This is one of several donations I plan to make to charitable organizations and I'm grateful to be able to give back in this way for the children and communities who gravely need it," Prince Harry reportedly shared in a statement.</p>

<p><br />
Harry co-founded Sentable with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho in 2006 to help children affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
"Our refocussed mission at Sentebale is about addressing the most immediate needs of vulnerable children in Southern Africa, helping them access vital health services, receive necessary care, and build skills to be more resilient and self-sufficient in the future," he added.</p>

<p><br />
As a token of appreciation to Harry's donation, the charity shared their gratitude, citing in a statement, "Sentebale is grateful for his personal contribution, which will allow the organization to continue operating at full scale and continue providing critical services to at-risk youth in Southern Africa."</p>

<p><br />
The memoir, which is set to be released in 2022, will cover a wide range of topics: from his childhood and time in the military to his marriage to Meghan Markle.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
"I've worn many hats over the years, both literally and figuratively, and my hope is that in telling my story — the highs and lows, the mistakes, the lessons learned — I can help show that no matter where we come from, we have more in common than we think. I'm deeply grateful for the opportunity to share what I've learned over the course of my life so far and excited for people to read a firsthand account of my life that's accurate and wholly truthful," he said in a statement about the book's announcement.&nbsp;</p>

Emmys 2021: Covid-19 testing, proof of vaccine a must for attendees

<p>Veteran Bollywood actor-director&nbsp;Amol Palekar, who portrays the role of a retired Dalit Judge in 'Hallo Ho' that released recently on Zee5, is not afraid to call a spade a spade. And so it comes as no surprise that when asked about depiction of women in Bollywood, he went for a no-holds-barred approach.</p>

<p><br />
"Unfortunately, if we look at the majority of our mainstream films, ‘Tum gagan ke Chandramaa ho, Mai dharaa ki dhool hun’ continues to be the typical portrayal of our heroines. She is either a Santoshi Maa or a Mother India. She is a commercial item to be added through her dance number," he said.</p>

<p>"Female-centric films were a rarity, but with the emergence of OTT platforms, wonderful female characters are scripted. This is a commendable change. I, as a director, have always tried to project the inner strength of women. Even in ‘Paheli’, Lachchi owns up to her decision to be with a man who loved her knowing that he was not her husband. People fighting the proliferated antagonism despite their marginalisation inspire me. Their struggle comes alive through the characters in my films," Palekar told a news website.</p>

<p><br />
Upon enquiry about the thought process behind taking on the role of Arjun Dangle in 'Hallo Ho', the National Award-winning actor said that it is the character's integrity that prompted him to take on the role.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
"I play Arjun Dangle, a retired Dalit judge. He heads the fact-finding committee appointed by the National Women’s group as he is known for his integrity and swears by the Constitution. The original script had some rough edges. In fact, I posed two pertinent questions to the makers – were they ready to refine the script? Why did they not opt for an actor from Bahujan samaj? We have great talent who is not given due exposure. I had warned them that casting an outsider for a Dalit’s role would be criticized. But they insisted on having me and were ready to alter certain not-so-progressive scenes. I have not seen the film so cannot opine on how it has been treated. But Saarthak is a sensitive man so I am sure he must have taken due precautions. Once we got clarity on various shades of the character before the shooting, I surrendered to the director. As an old-timer, I do not even look at the footage on the monitor," said the actor, who is also known for his contribution towards Marathi cinema, other than his work in mainstream Bollywood.&nbsp;</p>

'Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings' to release in India on this date

<p>Three former employees of video-streaming giant, Netflix, were accused of generating $3.1 million in profit by trading on insider information about Netflix’s subscriber growth, according to a report of a complaint filed Wednesday by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).</p>

<p><br />
The ex-employees were software engineers, who have been accused of the 'insider trading' ring along with two of their associates.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
SEC said Sung Mo 'Jay' Jun, a former Netflix software engineer, was at the 'centre of the insider trading ring' and accessed key information about Netflix’s subscriber growth to pass on the information to his brother, Joon Mo Jun, and his friend, Junwoo Chon, ahead of the streaming company’s quarterly earnings from 2016 to 2019.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per the complaint, Chon paid Jun $60,000 in cash for his assistance between 2016 to 2017.</p>

<p><br />
The report also states that after Jun left Netflix in February of 2017, he continued to receive insider information from Ayden Lee, another software engineer at Netflix, all the way through 2019, which he used to inform his own trading and informed about the samer to his brother and friend, according to the SEC.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Sung Mo Jun, Joon Mo Jun, Chon and Jae Hyeon Bae, another Netflix employee who rejoined the company after Jun had left, also used a group messaging platofrm to share insider information and trading tips, and Bae had instructed Joon Mo Jun to sell shares of Netflix ahead of the company’s 2019 earnings report, the SEC reportedly said.</p>

<p><br />
"In total, Sung Mo Jun, Joon Jun, and Chon netted over $3.1 million in illicit profits from trading Netflix securities based on material, non-public information provided by Netflix insiders," the complaint said.</p>

<p><br />
The SEC charges come along with another criminal case in Seattle, where the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Washington filed a criminal information against Sung Mo Jun, Joon Mo Jun, Chon and Lee.</p>

<p><br />
Netflix is yet to comment on these claims, according to reports.&nbsp;</p>

Netflix former employees charged for leaking 'insider' information

<p>After months of speculations, it has now been confirmed that Anthony Mackie is indeed on board for 'Captain America 4'.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
A few months back, the actor had opened up about the rumours of him holding the iconic shield of Captain America in future MCU movies, during an interview with James Corden at his `The Late Late Show.`</p>

<p><br />
"The thing is, if you watch [Avengers] End Game, at the end of the movie Sam Wilson never accepts the shield. He actually tells Cap that the shield is for him and it doesn`t feel right on his arm," the actor said.</p>

<p><br />
"If you look at, like, you know--Marvel is great at building characters over the course of many films. and from Winter Soldier to now, my whole goal in the Marvel Universe was to help Cap, was to be Cap`s friend. So, at no point in time in End Game did Sam Wilson accept the shield at all. As a matter of fact, it made him happy to come back from time and stand once again at Cap`s side," Mackie added.</p>

<p><br />
Responding to that, Corden shared his theory of the very important scene from where the series kicks off."This is based on nothing, I should say. I think--this is my own theory--it kicks off with you being like, `Oh, I can`t do it, I can`t do it,` and by the end of episode one, bang! He`s got the shield and we`re off to the races," Corden said.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
While the previous Captain America films starred Chris Evans's Steve Rogers, the upcoming installment is likely to follow Sam's (Anthony Mackie's) story. Though there were rumblings that Evans was in talks to reprise his role as Captain America in January, it was also noted that any future appearance wouldn't be for another Captain America movie. See a few more details about the film ahead.</p>

<p><br />
Reportedly, stars like Sebastian Stan will be seen as Bucky, Emily VanCamp as Sharon Carter, and Wyatt Russell as John Walker in the movie.</p>

<p><br />
The release date for this latest outing hasn't been confirmed yet, but given that MCU's release calender is packed for 2022, it's likely that the film will release in 2023.&nbsp;</p>

"Okay, this cheers me up. The first three of our fabulous PLLs have arrived in Upstate NY (aka Millwood, Pennsylvania) to start filming in a couple of weeks!!! (More pics to come, as soon as we announce the rest of our stunning cast!) Their gorgeous smiles make ME smile.

‘Pretty Little Liars’ reboot: New BTS picture emerges from set, and it is wow!

<p>Michael Keaton recently rejoined the superhero movie brigade and will reprise the role of the iconic DC superhero for the first time since 1992’s 'Batman Returns'. The actor is all set to feature in the Ezra Miller starrer movie 'The Flash' -- which has multiple versions of Batman.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
In an interview with a global news website, Keaton talked about how he has always known that he could come back as the caped crusader and nail the character. "Frankly, in the back of my head, I always thought, 'I bet I could go back and nail that mother****r.' And so I thought, 'Well, now that they're asking me, let me see if I can pull that off'," he was reportedly quoted as saying.</p>

<p><br />
In 1995, Keaton declined to return for 'Batman Forever' as he was not happy with the script. With 'The Flash', it was all about understanding the script well, which has been written by 'Birds of Prey' writer Christina Hodson.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
"I had to read it more than three times to go, 'Wait, how does this work?' "They had to explain that to me several times. What’s really interesting is how much more I got (Batman) when I went back and did him. I get this on a whole other level now," he added.</p>

<p><br />
"I never looked at it like, 'Oh, this is just a silly thing.' It was not a silly thing when I did Batman. But it has become a giant thing, culturally. It's iconic. This is a big deal in the world to people. You’ve got to honor that and be respectful of that. Even I go, 'Jesus, this is huge," Keaton said of his changed perception about superhero movies.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Interestingly, in another recent interview, Keaton said he felt shockingly normal about coming back as Batman. “It was shockingly normal. It was weird. Like I went ‘Oh, oh yeah, that’s right.’ But also then you start to play the scenes and a lot of memories, a lot of interesting sense memories (start to come back)," said the actor.&nbsp;</p>

'The Flash' is set to hit theaters on November 4 next year.</p>

<p>Solo music sensation Bruno Mars has now ventured into the world of bands with Silk Sonic. After releasing his first single as member of a band, ‘Leave the Door Open’, Mars has now pushed the release of Silk Sonic’s first full-length to January 2022.&nbsp;</p>

Have you ever seen anyone donning a blazer over a bra for grocery shopping? We reckon, not! But, American pop star Rihanna is no plain Jane. In her latest outing in NYC for some good-old grocery shopping, the Grammy-winning singer wore a pair of ripped jeans with a black jacket that was left open to reveal a lacy black bra.

Have you ever seen anyone donning a blazer over a bra for grocery shopping? We reckon, not! But, American pop star Rihanna is no plain Jane. In her latest outing in NYC for some good-old grocery shopping, the Grammy-winning singer wore a pair of ripped jeans with a black jacket that was left open to reveal a lacy black bra. She completed her look with a string of pearl necklaces, also called layering, and wrapped them along her neck with a chain-link belt. Rihanna also threw in a pair of black sunglasses, a green New York Yankees baseball hat. Needless to say, fans and even the media went into a tizzy when they spotted RiRi dressed to a T for something as basic as grocery shopping. But, then again, RiRi is not your average girl, like we have mentioned before. Check out her look here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rihanna Croatia (@rihannacro) × View this post on Instagram A post shared by 𝗥𝗜𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗔 𝗡𝗔𝗩𝗬 (@rihannabeauties) × View this post on Instagram A post shared by 𝗥𝗜𝗛𝗔𝗡𝗡𝗔 𝗡𝗔𝗩𝗬 (@rihannabeauties) × View this post on Instagram A post shared by Rihanna (@only.rih) ×

<p>In a recent interview, the 'Frozen' star opened up about her mental health journey and how she tackles bouts of anxiety and depression as and when they creep up on her.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
"I don't wait for those things to find me. I have a preoperative list to combat them because I know they're coming. It's important to remember those feelings that you are having aren't 'your feelings', but rather 'a feeling that is passing through you'. Sometimes, with a mental health issue, you just got to let them live," she reportedly said.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
Kristen has a similar approach when it comes to helping her daughters, Lincoln and delta, with their problems. When they burst out crying, she prefers to ask them, "Do you want a solution to this problem you're crying about, or do you just want to let this feeling pass through you?"</p>

<p><br />
As for her 'moments', Bell said, "I will go to my bedroom for 10 minutes, just to reset and regulate."</p>

<p><br />
When she is swamped with work, the actress prefers to log out first and recuperate. "You don't have to give a reason... putting on your gas mask first, and not being embarrassed about that."</p>

<p><br />
For motivation, the 'Good Place' star reminds herself of this quote by Eleanor Roosevelt,"No one can make you feel inferior without your consent."</p>

<p><br />
"I just don't consent anymore. I'm not embarrassed about any of the time I need to take to help myself, because that's making me a better me," concluded the actor.&nbsp;<br />

Grammy-winning singer and perfomer, Dua Lipa, is one stylish celebrity who, when it comes to summer fashion, stops at nothing! Recently, Lipa took to Instagram and shared pictures from what seems like a girl's day out by the swimming pool. And we are having a hard time deciding between the two: who was the hottest, scorching Sun or Dua Lipa? View this post on Instagram A post shared by DUA LIPA (@dualipa) × The singer was seen wearing a multi-hued, barely there swimsuit made entirely of cotton crochet, featuring leaf, flower, and rainbow embellishments. And the thong back had a little heart illustration to boot. Recently, during an outing to the beach, Lipa wore a beige minidress with multiple cutouts. She finished her look with a pair of heart-shaped hoop earrings and golden eye shadow. Dua Lipa took to Instagram to share her look, captioning the same as, "★ 𝒲𝒶𝓉𝑒𝓇 𝒸𝒽𝒾𝓁𝒹 ★🧜🏼" View this post on Instagram A post shared by DUA LIPA (@dualipa) ×

<p>Although he has lost his legal battle with his ex-wife Amber Heard in the United Kingdom that has reportedly caused problems in his acting career, Johnny Depp will now get a second libel trial to show he didn’t physically abuse her, reports confirm.</p>

<p><br />
On Tuesday, a Virginia judge reportedly ruled that the decision last November in Depp’s suit against the publisher of The Sun shouldn’t impact his second case against Heard over an opinion-editorial piece published in the Washington Post.</p>

<p><br />
Amber Heard is being sued in that latter case over a December 2018 column where had written, “I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out.”</p>

<p><br />
This suit in Virginia was expected to go to trial first, but owing to multiple delays, Depp’s U.K. case went on trail instead. &nbsp;<br />
In the U.K., the actor has sued over a news item that had labelled him a 'wife beater'. After a trial that lasted weeks, Judge Andrew Nicol found substantial truth to the article in The Sun, specifically with regards to 14 incidents that happened during the troubled marriage, reports said.</p>

<p><br />
The ruling, which Depp was unsuccessful in getting overturned through appeal, left him in the atypical position of arguing he didn’t get everything he wanted in the country, which has allegedly been the case for libel tourism since the burden of proof is on the defendant and not the complainant. Also, public figures needn’t show actual malice, says a report.</p>

<p><br />
Amber Heard, in turn, has argued that the Virginia court should recognize the U.K. court judgment, and since both actions centered on whether Depp was a domestic abuser, declare the matter already adjudicated.</p>

<p><br />
In an opinion on Tuesday, Fairfax County Chief Judge Penney Azcarate reportedly rejected Heard’s motion because of the lack of privity. While Heard may have argued that her interests were aligned with The Sun, the judge says those interests weren’t identical.</p>

<p><br />
"The Sun‘s interests were based on whether the statements the newspaper published were false," she has reportedly written. "(Heard’s) interests relate to whether the statements she published were false."</p>

<p><br />
In examining whether the U.S. and U.K. have judicial systems to the extent that Depp shouldn’t be in a state to re-litigate his claim of not being a domestic abuser, the judge later notes that Heard wasn’t a party in the U.K. case and wasn’t subject to the same discovery rules.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
"In fact, Defendant could not have been a named defendant to the U.K. litigation because her allegedly defamatory statements were made after the U.K. action commenced," the judge added.</p>

<p><br />
Last month, Heard’s lawyer argued that if Virginia court didn’t accept the U.K. judgment, there would be nothing to stop Depp from bringing new cases anytime any publication repeated words: that he was a 'wife beater'.</p>

<p><br />
"If anything, upholding English libel judgments in the United States would create the chilling effect and could create a dangerous precedent," the judge wrote.</p>

<p><br />
Reportedly, the trial is scheduled for early next year and will also examine Heard’s counterclaims.</p>

<p>Imagine a new tide of modernity—coupled with humane undertones—taking over the ever-consuming Internet, the end product you are most likely to get is the textbook definition of The New York Times-meets-Amazon’s dangerously successful ‘Modern Love’ franchise.</p>

<p>&nbsp;<br />
After an uproarious entry into the digital space with its predecessor—Anne Hathaway has made us all cry, Dev Patel turned some into hopeless romantics—the second season of this part-book-part-column adaption had heightened the excitement (and expectations) for the digital populace so much so that it was the second most-anticipated phenomenon to have come out this year. First being <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/lifestyle/news-kit-harington-sings-drops-of-jupiter-live-and-fans-are-loving-every-bit-of-it-405326">Kit Harington’s</a> clean-cut hairdo and Irish accent in it, of course.</p>

<p><img alt="Kit Harington is suave in 'Modern Love 2'" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="6ccfc205-71e7-4d6d-a270-bbed34795c20" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/pjimage%20-%202021-08-15T182234.760.jpg" /><br />
Frankly, the route to ‘Modern Love 2’ is way more adventurous this time around. But, thankfully, certain intricacies stay intact. Say, for example, a strong commentary around the alarming topic of mental health and the need to normalize it. In episode six, ‘In the Waiting Room of Estranged Spouses’, a war veteran sees life as a battlefield and his spouse, a mission. Sure enough, both his family life and mental health take a major hit as he starts to conjure up ‘bad things’ in his mind. The track is aptly not so much about the love lane—although, heart wrenching—as it is about recognizing the problem in hand and addressing it. Garrett Hedlund internalizes the trauma-filled pride of a soldier, grappling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in this John Crowley directorial. Similarly, another lesser known yet widely experienced disorder that no one seems to be talking about, Delayed Sleep-Phase Syndrome, takes the centre stage in Zoe Chao’s episode two, ‘The Night Girl Finds A Day Boy’, love attack by Jesse Peretz. “In love with a vampire,” is a recurring comment that comes up frequently when a charmer-types falls in love with a man who is on nature’s clock, and she isn’t. To pass a judgment on these grave issues would be criminal, hence, the hard pass.&nbsp;</p>

If the title is ‘Modern Love’, can the different interpretations of it—in the times of Canva and Corona—stay far behind? Absolutely not! Two consecutive episodes, EP three and&nbsp;four, swing between the two extreme ends of love spectrum. One latches on to the ‘Before Sunset-y’ vibe, while the other is more along the lines on ‘Sex Education’: available on Amazon’s streaming rival, Netflix. Titled ‘Strangers On A (Dublin) Train’, two Irish poeple stumble upon one another on their way home for what is presumably a short, ‘stupid’ break. “The madness will be over soon (referring to the initial stages of lockdown,” says a suave Kit Harington, here seen as ad wiz Michael. The tomfoolery that we see in the face of adversity and unpredictability is almost cute. This third episode is the clichéd version of say-hello-to-medieval-romance and we have seen better, but, we will make do for two reasons: Kit Harington (there’s a ‘Game of Thrones’ joke in it, if you are looking) Irish-ness and the fact that we had all once tricked ourselves into believing that it will all be over soon. ‘A Life Plan For Two, Followed By One’ is, however, a different ballgame. There’s sex, jealousy, crass comedy and tongue waggling. The ‘Judas &amp; The Black Messiah’ star, Dominique Fisher, is a comedian feeding off rapper jokes. Fun, feisty, she just wants to be loved by her knight in shining armor. Her first love fails, like most first loves do. This Marta Cunningham production is quasi-modern. The comedy troupe works, love and friendship? Not so much!</p>

Episodes five and seven are deep dives into sexuality and identification of the ‘one’ who’s somewhere buried in layers of Instagram DMs and Tinder swipes.

Marquis Rodriguez’s deep-set eyes, literally, moves the narrative forward. You know these secret lovers wouldn’t reunite or break into a long embrace after all that history, but you still want to wait it out, just in case.

Trust ‘Modern love’ to treat you with a real sob fest, and it happens in the second installment, too—and this declaration comes from experience and sheer experience alone—with the modern-day Shakespearean-esque tragedies. The opening episode, ‘On a Serpentine Road, With the Top Down’, and the closing one pierce through your heart, as they were meant to. A disheveled Minnie Driver secretly pines for her dead first husband—she talks to him in his rundown car, and sniffs his sweater when no one’s watching—before, finally, bringing herself to sell his overbearing Stag. The agony of having loved and lost, and loved again, shines through Driver’s saggy skin and sad-looking eyes. This, and the finale episode, is inarguably the finest in ‘Modern Love 2’. Staying true to its essence, after all, ‘Modern Love’ is built on the foundation of faulty humans and troubled decisions, is ‘Second Embrace, With Hearts and Eyes Open’—the last one for this year. Sophie Okonedo’s amicably parted with her husband, while he is acing the ‘Best Daddy’ game, she seems to be ‘getting worse’. Despite the grin-able camaraderie, and a lot of hook-ups-between-exes, the climax leaves one with a sense of hopelessness—pretty much what we have been feeling all-year long, aren’t we?&nbsp;</p>

Imagine a new tide of modernity—coupled with humane undertones—taking over the ever-consuming Internet, the end product you are most likely to get is the textbook definition of The New York Times-meets-Amazon’s dangerously successful ‘Modern Love’ franchise.

Imagine a new tide of modernity—coupled with humane undertones—taking over the ever-consuming Internet, the end product you are most likely to get is the textbook definition of The New York Times-meets-Amazon’s dangerously successful ‘Modern Love’ franchise. After an uproarious entry into the digital space with its predecessor—Anne Hathaway has made us all cry, Dev Patel turned some into hopeless romantics—the second season of this part-book-part-column adaption had heightened the excitement (and expectations) for the digital populace so much so that it was the second most-anticipated phenomenon to have come out this year. First being Kit Harington’s clean-cut hairdo and Irish accent in it, of course. Frankly, the route to ‘Modern Love 2’ is way more adventurous this time around. But, thankfully, certain intricacies stay intact. Say, for example, a strong commentary around the alarming topic of mental health and the need to normalize it. In episode six, ‘In the Waiting Room of Estranged Spouses’, a war veteran sees life as a battlefield and his spouse, a mission. Sure enough, both his family life and mental health take a major hit as he starts to conjure up ‘bad things’ in his mind. The track is aptly not so much about the love lane—although, heart wrenching—as it is about recognizing the problem in hand and addressing it.

<p>Actress Zoe Kravitz is a cool kid on the block, and while her tattoos may fascinate some, she has no idea as to how many of them are actually on her body.</p>

<p><br />
Kravitz reportedly said, "I think tattoos are a beautiful form of adornment, just like makeup or jewellery. It's funny because I don't even know how many I have. I hardly see them anymore because I am so used to them. There are some I like more than others."</p>

<p><br />
The actress reportedly has 56 tattoos all over her body, but she can neither confirm nor deny that number. She plans to get inked some more.</p>

<p><br />
"I have gotten a few removed, but I plan on getting more tattoos. Once you're into it, it's hard to stop... It has always been about health, using organic products, eating well, exercising, drinking lots of water, and getting enough sleep. When you feel good and your body is happy, healthy, and balanced, your skin looks good," she added.</p>

<p><br />
"When we're not feeling good, our skin is dehydrated and we start breaking out; then we tend to use makeup to cover ourselves up more and hide. I believe that beauty starts with what's on the inside and how we take care of ourselves," she further added.</p>

<p><br />
The 'Big Little Lies' star also spoke about how staying indoors negatively impacted her amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.</p>

<p><br />
"I realised how much my mental health is affected by not being able to do little things that make me feel good. Some things become routine; we put makeup on because we're supposed to. But doing that can boost your confidence and make you feel like a different person. You get to access and highlight different parts of your personality based on how you're dressing and what your makeup is like. I think life is really a game of dress-up in a lot of ways. Fashion and beauty are self-expression. It should be playful and fun," concluded Kravitz.</p>

<p>Yin Chang, who had played the role of Nelly Yuki in the original series, was not happy with the way her character was written.</p>

<p>&nbsp;<br />
In an interview with a global magazine, the actress-turned-editor-in-chief talked about how her character was based on various kinds of stereotypes that the Asian-American community is usually associated with.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
“The audition for this role came at a time when characters specifically written for Asian American women were so few and far between and I was under the impression, via the sides given for Nelly Yuki’s first episode, that the role had more complexity and nuance than most other auditions I had seen. Tis was back in 2008, and the initial impression of the role gave me hope that the industry was changing and moving forward in the right direction for Asian American representation.”</p>

<p><br />
But, things changed pretty soon and the “overachieving and effortlessly ‘confident’ and ‘sexy,’"became "timid’ and ‘submissive." She said that the "cultural stereotypes of ‘the model minority’ and this age-old isolating idea that ‘there can only be one’ Asian American individual existing in the same world."</p>

<p><br />
She added, “I want to underscore that there’s nothing shameful about wearing glasses or having a shy personality, but it is of concern when a pair of glasses is used as a prop to differentiate between two Asian Americans and furthering that point by altering the character’s initial description/personality.”</p>

<p><br />
“I was caught in a position where I simultaneously felt both deeply grateful to have an opportunity as a working actor and upset by the show making Nelly Yuki’s portrayal reductive almost immediately,” said Chang.</p>

<p>On Thursday, a Los Angeles judge again rejected one of 11 sexual assault counts in an indictment of Harvey Weinstein, reports said.</p>

<p><br />
Two weeks ago, Judge Lisa B. Lench dismissed the count of sexual battery by restraint as ‘too old’ and outside the statute of limitations, but had allowed the district attorney’s office to amend the allegation against the 69-year-old former movie tycoon and convicted rapist.</p>

<p><br />
But on Thursday, the judge found that neither of the two attempts at an amended complaint from prosecutors solved the problem, and so she rejected the count again.</p>

<p><br />
However, the judge gave the prosecutors something to work with on the dismissed count situation, saying that if they reconvene the grand jury and get it to return a new indictment for it, she may accept it. But no specific instruction—as to how the approach should be—was offered by her.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The rejected count dates back to May of 2010. And Harvey Weinstein was first charged with it in January 2020, before the statute of limitations had expired. Prosecutors then got an indictment from a grand jury on an identical count six months later, when the time had lapsed.</p>

<p><br />
“The people are grasping to try to save something that is unsalvageable. “They did it, they blew it, they can’t fix it,” Weinstein attorney Alan Jackson said in court.&nbsp;</p>

<p><br />
The judge also agreed with that the grand jury indictment was a new prosecution, and therefore was coming too late.<br />
However, the prosecutors argued that it was a continuation of the same case.</p>

<p><br />
The counts maybe a small part of the case, as reports call it, but dismissing the same removes one of five accusers from Weinstein’s forthcoming trial.</p>

<p><br />
“Today’s a great example of why we need judges with a backbone… and juries with a tough spine to stand up against false accusations,” Weinstei’s &nbsp;attorney Mark Werksman reportedly said outside court.</p>

<p><br />
In a statement sent to an entertainment portal, Weinstein’s representative said, “We are pleased that the judge agreed that one of the charges alleged was barred by the statute of limitations. It remains dismissed and, given the statute and the fact that Harvey maintains his innocence of the charges, it never should have been brought in the first place. We consider this a partial victory, but know there is quite the road ahead. Harvey remains optimistic and hopeful, and must focus on his health right now.”</p>

<p><br />
Still intact are four counts of rape and six other sexual assault counts. Weinstein pleaded not guilty to all of them last month in his first court appearance in the California case. He was extradited from New York, where he is serving a 23-year sentence for convictions of rape and sexual assault.</p>

<p><br />
Weinstein’s attorneys will seek to reject many of them, and more technical fights are likely to come as they attempt to erode the case against him.</p>
