According to police officials, the investigation has been completed and it has been established that Kapoor, Fatehi, and other named individuals had no proven link to the alleged drug network.

Authorities said there was no evidence to suggest the involvement of any celebrity in the case.

The case dated back to August 2022 when the Mumbai Police arrested alleged drug trafficker Salim Suhail Shaikh through their Crime Branch and Anti-Narcotics Cell.

According to police, mephedrone worth Rs1.19 lakh was recovered during the operation.

Shaikh revealed to investigators that he had delivered drugs to parties which included multiple public figures as guests.

In 2025, the Anti-Narcotics Cell questioned many celebrities, including Kapoor, Fatehi, and others as part of their investigation.

However, no concrete evidence emerged connecting any of them to drug trafficking or consumption, officials said.

Police added that an initial chargesheet has already been filed against three accused persons, while a supplementary chargesheet will be submitted against two additional arrested individuals and one absconding suspect.

The victim, Nitara, was targeted in October 2025 while playing an online game, when an unidentified individual sent inappropriate messages and later demanded explicit images, according to officials.

The arrest was made following a complaint filed by the actor after his daughter informed her parents about the incident.

Additional Director General of Police Yashasvi Yadav confirmed the development, saying the suspect was taken into custody after a detailed investigation led by the Maharashtra Cyber Department.

Police said the case came to light when the child promptly reported the incident at home, enabling swift action by authorities.

Speaking during a cyber awareness session, ADG Yadav praised the child’s courage in informing her parents immediately, which significantly helped in resolving the case.

In a previous video statement, Akshay Kumar had highlighted the risks associated with interacting with strangers during online gaming, warning that such situations can escalate into cybercrime.

He urged parents to educate children about online dangers, monitor their digital activities, and foster an environment where children feel comfortable reporting suspicious interactions.

The actor had also earlier called on Maharashtra’s chief minister to introduce cybercrime awareness classes in schools to help prevent such incidents.

Lee, 41, has been in Dubai for several months. He previously posted images suggesting he was in the UK, but some were later believed to be AI-generated, raising doubts about his claims.

In a recent Instagram post, Lee said he would be in York, England, on July 26 for a fight, though he did not disclose his opponent or how the match was arranged.

He shared an AI-style image showing himself in a black hoodie and gloves walking with a group of men.

In another post, he uploaded a black-and-white image, claiming he was attending a Hyrox training event, with the caption: “It all f***ing worked” and “Hyrox, here we come.”

There have also been reports linking him to a £200,000 loan issue, which he has denied.

Despite concerns from some of Katie Price’s friends, she has continued to support him and has said she is happy.

The event brought together international designers presenting styles commonly worn by Muslim women in line with religious principles, with garments covering arms, legs and in some cases hair.

Organisers said holding the event in France carried symbolic weight, given the country’s long-running debate over religious clothing in public life under its strict secularism laws.

France is home to an estimated 5–7.5 million Muslims, and the event was described by organisers as positioning Paris as a growing hub for modest fashion in Europe.

Runway collections inside a historic venue near the Champs-Élysées featured floral designs, flowing silhouettes and nature-inspired colour palettes, alongside more contemporary streetwear-influenced looks.

Designers from countries including Nigeria, Turkey, Indonesia and Australia showcased contrasting interpretations, ranging from soft romantic dresses to structured, sporty outfits influenced by Gen Z fashion trends.

The modest fashion industry has expanded rapidly in recent years, with global spending projected to exceed $400 billion by next year, according to industry research.

While originally focused on Muslim consumers, the sector is increasingly attracting wider audiences across different religious and non-religious groups.

The event also took place against the backdrop of France’s secularism laws, which restrict religious symbols in certain public spaces, including state schools, where headscarves and other religious garments are banned.

Some designers and attendees said the Paris showcase reflected growing acceptance of modest fashion, while others noted ongoing restrictions in parts of French public life, including limits on certain religious swimwear in public facilities.

Several attendees said the event represented increased visibility for Muslim women in fashion and public culture, with some describing it as a sign of greater inclusion in French society.

The ‌sequel comes two decades after “The Devil Wears Prada”, with filmmaker David Frankel returning to direct from a screenplay by Aline Brosh McKenna.

It sees Andy Sachs, played by Anne Hathaway, getting laid off from her investigative journalism ​job and reuniting with her boss from 20 years ago, the feared fashion magazine editor ​Miranda Priestly, portrayed by Meryl Streep.

Priestley’s “Runway” is also grappling with challenges presented ⁠by the digital age and the decline of print media.

“It sort of underwrites all the flash ​and fun and music and the uncertainty of this current moment,” said Streep on the red ​carpet.

“The media landscape, but in every form of business, life, music, art, movies, pick a thing, we’re all being undermined. That’s where the movie kind of starts, and it goes from there to see what these characters ​do with that new landscape.”

Unlike the first film, which was based on Lauren Weisberger’s novel ​of the same name, the sequel features an original storyline.

“Everybody’s facing challenges, economic challenges. And so it felt like ‌thematically ⁠it’d be something that would interest people,” said McKenna. The writing came with huge pressure, McKenna said, but she sought to have fun while finding the characters “the way you would an old friend”.

Reuniting with much of the original team was “magic”, said Hathaway, who had few conditions for reprising ​her role.

“I just said ​that I thought Andy ⁠hadn’t started the family portion of her life, if that ever happened for her.

That was my one condition,“ she said, adding she was ​open to everything else - unlike Streep, who joked her many stipulations included “no ​heels over ⁠four inches”.

Stanley Tucci also returns as Priestley’s devoted right-hand man, Nigel, while her overworked assistant Emily (Emily Blunt) has moved up to a powerful position in the fashion industry.

Lucy Liu, Kenneth Branagh and Simone ⁠Ashley are ​among the new cast members. Celebrity cameos in the sequel, ​which was shot in New York and Milan, include pop star Lady Gaga and fashion designer Donatella Versace.

“The Devil Wears Prada ​2” begins its global theatrical rollout on April 29.

The BTS vocalist joined the trending audio from the group’s recent comeback album Arirang, but instead of a typical transition-style edit, he posted a short clip of himself riding through city streets in full protective gear, including a helmet and gloves.

In the video, Jungkook is seen riding smoothly and briefly taking his hands off the handlebars, a moment that quickly drew attention from fans online.

He captioned the post in Korean, saying, “I wanted to try it.”

While other users, including BTS bandmate V, have used the trend for quick edits and transformation clips, Jungkook’s approach stood out for its real-life footage and casual tone.

Fans reacted widely on social media, with many expressing surprise and excitement at seeing him in action.

Some commented on his riding skills, while others questioned whether the account was authentic before confirming it belonged to him.

The video comes shortly after BTS’s return with their album Arirang, released on March 20, marking their first full group project in four years following military service.

Between new music releases and increased social media activity, Jungkook’s latest post adds to a more personal and relaxed public presence since the group’s comeback.

Mino enlisted on March 24, 2023, and served as a public service worker at a welfare facility in Mapo-gu, Seoul, an alternative form of military duty assigned in specific cases.

Prosecutors allege that between March 2023 and December 2024, he took more than 100 days of unplanned leave and was at times absent from his workplace during official hours, amounting to a failure to fully perform his duties.

Although Mino completed his service and was discharged in December 2024, authorities are pursuing the case retrospectively, focusing on alleged breaches during his term. Prosecutors have requested an 18-month prison sentence.

During a brief statement outside the court, Mino apologised for the situation, saying he regretted disappointing the public and those who support him.

He also said he would be willing to re-enlist or complete any additional service if required.

Military service is mandatory in South Korea for all able-bodied men, typically lasting 18 to 21 months, and cases involving public figures are often subject to scrutiny due to expectations of equal compliance.

The case has drawn attention to WINNER, the four-member group formed by YG Entertainment, placing additional focus on the group as legal proceedings continue.

According to the latest Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Ambani’s wealth has fallen significantly amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and economic pressure linked to developments in the Middle East.

Reports show his net worth has dropped by about $16.9 billion this year, bringing it down to around $91 billion, marking the largest decline among Asia’s richest individuals.

The retail business led by his daughter Isha Ambani recorded growth of 8%, well below the targeted 20%.

In contrast, Adani’s wealth has remained relatively stable, supported by his businesses in ports, power and infrastructure, helping him regain the top position in Asia.

Experts say global political tensions and energy-related issues have impacted major Indian business groups, contributing to wealth declines.

Reliance Industries has also faced pressure, particularly in its petrochemical segment, while its retail growth has remained below expectations.

A key potential boost for the company is the planned initial public offering of its telecom unit Jio, though it has been delayed due to global uncertainty.

Shares of Reliance Industries have declined by about 13% since the start of the year, with upcoming financial results expected to provide further clarity on its performance.

She was testifying at the trial of Maradona’s seven-person medical team, which is accused of gross negligence over the death of the Argentine football legend at the age of 60.

“The manipulation was total and horrible,” Gianinna told the court in the northern Buenos Aires suburb of San Isidro, near where Maradona died while convalescing after surgery for a brain clot.

Gianinna said the medics convinced her and her siblings that their father could recuperate safely at his rented home in the suburb of Tigre.

She said the doctors presented this as a “serious” option and assured her that his residence would be well-equipped in medical terms.

“I trusted these three people, who only manipulated us and left my son without a grandfather,” she added, referring to neurosurgeon Leopoldo Luque, psychiatrist Agustina Cosachov and nurse Carlos Diaz.

The defendants face prison terms of between eight and 25 years if convicted of homicide with possible intent, pursuing a course of action despite knowing it could lead to death.

A key question at the heart of the trial is whether the decision to allow Maradona to convalesce at home instead of a medical facility endangered his life.

The defendants argue that the hard-living star, who battled cocaine and alcohol addictions, died of natural causes.

The larger-than-life star of the 1986 World Cup died of heart failure and acute pulmonary edema — a condition where fluid accumulates in the lungs — two weeks after the operation.

The first trial over Maradona’s death was annulled last year following revelations that one of the judges took part in a clandestine documentary about the case.

MacInnes claims Wilson falsely suggested in Instagram posts that she had privately confided in her about being sexually harassed ​by one of the film’s producers.

Court filings allege Wilson, the star ​of three Pitch Perfect movies and Bridesmaids, failed to seek verification from ⁠MacInnes and made the claims despite knowing no complaint had been made.

The ​posts on Wilson’s Instagram account, with more than 11 million followers, allegedly implied ​that MacInnes had lied when she denied discussing harassment or inappropriate behaviour by producers on The Deb.

While Wilson has denied the claims, her legal defence has not been disclosed.

MacInnes, ​who was also in court for the hearing, is seeking aggravated damages ​and a court order preventing Wilson from repeating the allegations online or elsewhere.

Wilson also alleged ‌in ⁠the July 2024 posts that executive producer Vince Holden, along with producers Amanda Ghost and Gregor Cameron, attempted to block the film’s premiere in retaliation for her raising concerns about the alleged misconduct, according to reports in Australian media.

​A separate lawsuit ​was filed against ⁠Wilson by The Deb producers in a US court and a court in the Australian state of New South Wales, ​reports said.

The Deb, which premiered at the Toronto International ​Film Festival ⁠in September 2024, faced delays in its Australian theatrical release earlier this month due to legal issues.

“I love The Deb, I mean, it’s so cute ⁠and amazing. ​Thank you to everyone who’s going to ​the cinemas,” Wilson told reporters outside the court.

The hearing for the defamation case is expected ​to last nine days.

The series, which followed a group of friends in the town of Hawkins, began with the search for a missing boy and the discovery of Eleven, a girl with supernatural abilities who becomes central to the group.

Her relationship with Mike Wheeler developed from friendship into a key emotional arc across the show’s run, shaped by shifting dynamics, trauma and growing up amid increasing threats from the show’s fictional world.

As the series progressed, their bond evolved through conflict and reconciliation, becoming one of the core relationships driving the narrative.

In the final episodes, Eleven’s storyline moves toward a climactic confrontation that leaves her fate uncertain, while Mike is left dealing with loss and emotional isolation.

The ending has been interpreted differently by viewers, with some seeing it as final and others suggesting ambiguity over Eleven’s fate.

Mike’s character is left holding onto memories and narratives from the past, which has become a focal point for audience interpretation of the conclusion.

The unresolved nature of the storyline has fuelled ongoing discussion among fans, with theories circulating about whether Eleven could still be alive or whether the ending represents closure.

Interest has also been sustained by the announcement of a spin-off series, Stranger Things: Tales From ’86, which revisits earlier events and characters from previous seasons.

The debate reflects continued fan attachment to the central relationship and broader uncertainty over the show’s narrative choices in its final season.

The event, which wound through central London past landmarks including ​Big Ben, had participants don their finest vintage ​British attire for what amounted to a rolling ⁠fashion parade on wheels.

“It’s a bit like Goodwood ​Revival, isn’t it? It’s a bit sort of heritage. ​Everyone has to make an effort, otherwise you’d stand out. And there are some fantastic outfits here today,” Chris Edworthy, a ​rider from Sussex, told Reuters.

Goodwood Revival is an annual ​festival at the Goodwood Circuit featuring classic racing cars and motorcycles.

The ‌Tweed ⁠Run was established in 2009. The organisers say “proper attire” is expected, and the term ‘overdressed’ does not exist in their vocabulary. Tweed suits, plus fours, bow ties ​and jaunty flat ​caps are ⁠encouraged.

From waistcoats to pantaloons, riders embraced the nostalgic aesthetic with gusto, while one participant ​even rode the iconic penny farthing, a ​popular ⁠bicycle in the 1800s that features a massive front wheel.

“For me, it’s the attention to detail,” said Steve ⁠Clyde, ​another cyclist from Sussex.

“You look at ​everyone’s outfits and you think they’ve really put some thought into that.”

Bonya, who is well known inside Russia for her appearances on reality TV shows and other programmes, has a huge social media following, and a video appeal she made to President Vladimir Putin this week was ​watched more than 20 million times and liked over 1 million times on Instagram.

In her video appeal, Bonya — who ​lives outside Russia — said she supported Putin, but said that officials were not telling him the ⁠truth about the country’s real problems, that the Russian people were suffering, and that they were being squeezed so hard ​by corrupt officials that they might one day erupt.

“You know what the risk is?” she said. “That people will stop being afraid ​and they’re being squeezed into a coiled spring and that one day that coiled spring will shoot out.”

KREMLIN SAYS WORK IS BEING DONE

Among other things, she spoke out against a sweeping crackdown on the internet, social media and messenger apps, accused the authorities of being too slow to respond ​to floods in Dagestan, and said they had mishandled the outbreak this year of a cattle disease in Siberia that led ​to an unpopular culling.

“The people are afraid of you,” she told Putin. “There is a big wall between the people and you,” she said, ‌blaming regional ⁠governors, government officials and lawmakers for not telling Putin the truth about what was going on.

Instagram, like Facebook, is banned in Russia but Russians are able to watch it using virtual private networks.

When asked about Bonya’s public appeal, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: “Of course, we’ve seen it. It’s quite popular.”

“It touches on many topics, on each of which, as you can see — as ​you have seen — work is ​actually being done,” he said.

“But, ⁠to be fair, a great deal of work is being done on them, a large number of people are involved, and none of this has been overlooked,” he added.

BLOGGER SAYS SHE ​IS ACTING FOR RUSSIANS

The idea of Putin as “a good Tsar” misinformed by nefarious officials is ​not a new ⁠one, and Kremlin critics suggested that Bonya’s appeal may have been coordinated with the authorities to let people feel that their problems are being aired and dealt with ahead of parliamentary elections later this year.

Her strongly worded outburst also came as some senior Kremlin ⁠officials and ​business-oriented former officials and bankers had, according to a source, lobbied Putin about their ​discontent over mobile internet shutdowns and a move to block the Telegram messaging platform.

Bonya said the initiative to publicly appeal to Putin was solely her own ​and that she was acting on behalf of the Russian people.

Downey Jr., who played Iron Man in ​earlier “Avengers” blockbusters, will appear in “Avengers: Doomsday” as the villain Doctor Doom. The ​movie is the first from Walt Disney-owned Marvel to unite the ⁠Avengers and the X-Men.

“Honestly, I could not have imagined reuniting with this amazing ​team, after such a glorious run of success and creative joy, let alone ​as a new character,” Downey Jr. said on stage at the CinemaCon convention of theater owners.

Evans, who portrayed Steve Rogers and his alter-ego Captain America in earlier Marvel films, said his ​return was unexpected.

“I said I would only come back if there was a ​real reason, and in ‘Doomsday,’ there is a very real reason that these heroes need Steve Rogers ‌now,” ⁠he said.

In scenes shown to the CinemaCon crowd, Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, is heard saying “we are going to need a miracle,” before spotting Rogers.

The CinemaCon crowd responded with rousing applause and cheers, prompting Downey Jr. to ask for the ​trailer to be played ​a second time.

Marvel ⁠movies have generated nearly $33 billion at global box offices, the highest total for any film franchise.

“Avengers: Endgame,” released in 2019, ​is the second-highest-grossing movie of all time.

“Avengers: Doomsday” will be ​released on ⁠December 18, the same day as the third instalment of Warner Bros’ sci-fi series “Dune”, setting up a box office battle dubbed “Dunesday.”

Cinema operators said they believed both movies to ⁠be ​among the year’s biggest releases.

Disney also promoted the ​upcoming “Star Wars” film “The Mandalorian and Grogu,” which heads to theaters in May, and a live-action version of “Moana” ​that is due for release in July.

Rivas, who was from a suburb about 70 miles (110 km) southeast of Los Angeles, had been ​missing for nearly a year and a half when her decomposed ​remains were discovered in September 2025.

The vehicle had ⁠been parked for weeks in a Hollywood Hills neighbourhood before being towed ​to an impound lot, where workers reported a foul odour, police have ​said.

D4vd gained fame in 2022 after songs he recorded on his phone for his Fortnite gaming videos went viral on TikTok, with the hit “Romantic Homicide” helping him ​sign a deal with Darkroom/Interscope Records, a label associated with Billie ​Eilish.

The case drew attention following media reports that linked Burke to the vehicle shortly ‌after ⁠the girl’s body was found. Police said at the time they were conducting an extensive investigation, but declined to announce charges until now.

“Detectives from the Los Angeles Police Department, Robbery‑Homicide Division, have arrested David Burke, a 21‑year‑old ​resident of Los ​Angeles, for the ⁠murder of Celeste Rivas,” the Los Angeles police said in a statement on X.

Burke was being held without ​bail, and his case will be presented to prosecutors ​on Monday, ⁠the statement said.

Blair Berk, the attorney representing David Burke, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Berk has largely declined public comment. ⁠Before ​Burke’s arrest, Berk said there was no ​publicly disclosed evidence linking her client to a crime and emphasised his rights during an ​active investigation.

Brothers Coerte and John Voorhees said they had gained consent from Kilmer’s children to use AI to create his role in “As Deep as the Grave,” the story ​of archaeologists who explore the history of the Navajo people in New Mexico.

They said ​they used archival footage, photos and voice recordings to help craft the performance.

“We ⁠are 100% confident it’s really the right move with this specific film, and we’re really, really looking ​forward to everyone being able to judge it for themselves,” Coerte Voorhees, the movie’s writer and director, ​said in an interview at the CinemaCon convention for theatre owners in Las Vegas.

Kilmer, best known for his role in the “Top Gun” movies, had signed on to star in “As Deep as the Grave” several years ago but was unable ​to make it onto the set because of poor health.

He died a year ago at age 65 ​after a battle with throat cancer.

A trailer from the movie, released this week, showed Kilmer in the role of ‌Father ⁠Fintan, a Catholic priest and Native American spiritualist.

“Don’t fear the dead. And don’t fear me,” Kilmer’s likeness says in the trailer.

The trailer drew criticism on social media, with some commenters calling it “terrifying” and “disgusting.” “It’s called REST IN PEACE for a reason,” one said.

Coerte Voorhees said he did not think audiences who see the ​film will be able ​to tell that Kilmer’s ⁠role was not a human performance.

The brothers also said they hoped they were showing Hollywood how to use the technology positively.

Many actors ​are worried about unauthorised uses of their images that appear lifelike.

The ​Voorhees brothers said ⁠they had followed all guidelines on AI use set forth by the SAG-AFTRA actors union.

“We’re making a bold claim, (a) bold statement, which is that we believe we’re ethically doing this,” John Voorhees ⁠said. He ​said that not only had Kilmer’s estate given consent, but ​that the family had collaborated artistically “in every possible way.”

He added: “There’s so much change happening that, of course, it’s scary and it’s something ​that people are uncertain about.”

His new alien movie, “Disclosure Day,” will offer what Spielberg believes is “more truth than fiction,” the veteran filmmaker told theater operators on Wednesday at ​the CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas.

The maker of “E.T.” and 2005’s “War of ​the Worlds” said he decided to journey back into the extraterrestrial ⁠realm after reading a 2017 New York Times report about U.S. military pilots ​who reported seeing mysterious flying objects.

“I really, truly believe this movie is going ​to answer questions,” Spielberg said of “Disclosure Day.” “And this movie is also going to cause you to ask a lot of questions.”

“All you need to get from the beginning to the end ​is a seat belt,” he teased, without elaborating on the plot.

Footage shown to ​the CinemaCon crowd gave a brief glimpse of an alien leaning over a human child. ‌The ⁠film stars Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colman Domingo and Colin Firth.

“Disclosure Day” will be released by Universal Pictures in June.

Universal also brought out another acclaimed director, Christopher Nolan, to promote his upcoming film “The Odyssey.” The movie, set to debut in ​July, is based on ​Homer’s epic about ⁠a Greek king trying to return home after the Trojan War.

“The Odyssey is a story that has fascinated generation after ​generation for 3,000 years,” he said. “It is not a story. ​It’s the story.”

The “Oppenheimer” director ⁠said “The Odyssey” was “an absolute nightmare to film, but in all the right ways.”

Star Matt Damon, who plays Odysseus, endured rough conditions throughout the project, Nolan said.

“He was ⁠just there, ​out there on the boats, up in ​the mountains, in the caves, in beating sunshine, in sideways rain, wind,” he said.

“It’s meant to be ​difficult. That’s the nature of the story.”

The controversy erupted after a clip showed Ejaz lifting Fiza during a live broadcast, prompting mixed reactions online.

Some viewers labelled the act inappropriate, while others defended it as a lighthearted moment between a married couple.

In a statement on Instagram, Fiza said the video circulating on social media was a brief, out-of-context clip.

She described the moment as spontaneous and harmless, urging critics not to misinterpret it negatively.

She added that she has always respected her audience and professional responsibilities, and will continue to do so.

However, she noted that clarifications are often misrepresented, which is why she sometimes prefers to remain silent.

The incident occurred during a special show where Fiza had invited her husband as a guest.

Their daughter was also present and playfully asked Ejaz to lift her mother on live television — something he did, sparking the viral moment.

The clip quickly spread online, dividing users. Critics questioned regulatory oversight, with some calling on authorities to restrict such content. Others dismissed the backlash, calling it an expression of affection blown out of proportion.

Fiza recently announced her marriage to Ejaz at the age of 41, revealing they met in the UK.

Their relationship soon turned into marriage, formalised during Eid celebrations.

The film will screen on May 2 at the British Film Institute (BFI) in London, with executive producer Ayesha Omar describing the moment as bringing “the spirit of Lyari” to an international audience, according to Gulf News.

The project has been positioned by its creators as a response to India’s negative portrayals of Karachi’s Lyari neighbourhood in Indian cinema, particularly in contrast to films such as Dhurandhar.

At its core, Mera Lyari follows the story of two young women pursuing football in challenging circumstances, using sport as a path towards opportunity, independence and self-determination.

The film focuses on themes of resilience and community, shifting away from narratives centred on crime and violence in the area.

Ayesha Omar, who also plays a lead role, said in a social media post that the film presents Lyari and its women as “raw, real and unapologetically authentic.”

The cast includes Dananeer Mobeen, Samiya Mumtaz, Nayyar Ejaz, Paras Masroor, Adnan Shah Tipu, Shoaib Hassan, and model Trinette Lucas, who makes her film debut.

The story follows a disabled football coach, played by Omar, who returns to Lyari to conduct trials for local girls.

She meets Afsana (Mobeen), who defies her strict father, and Kushmala (Lucas), who is trying to escape a forced marriage. Together, they train in secret with hopes of competing at the national level.

Director Abu Aleeha said the film was shot in Lyari with a largely local cast, adding that around 80% of the actors, including supporting roles and football players, are from the area.

The film has also drawn political attention, with Sindh Information Minister Sharjeel Memon previously describing it as a response to negative portrayals of Lyari in Indian films.

By focusing on sport and determination, Mera Lyari aims to reshape international perceptions of the neighbourhood and highlight untold stories of its residents.

According to People magazine, her sons Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19, were a major influence in her decision to enter a treatment facility after the March 4 arrest in Ventura, California, on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol.

Sources said Spears was “very upset and shaken” after the arrest and feared possible jail time, adding that it took weeks for her to agree that rehabilitation was the best option.

Her team has reportedly been urging her to seek treatment since the incident, with ongoing concern about her well-being and stability.

Insiders said her sons have been direct about prioritising her health, with one source stating they “just want her to be healthy” and have remained firm in encouraging her to get help.

Spears’ representative confirmed on April 12 that she had checked into a treatment facility following the arrest, describing the situation as “completely inexcusable” while expressing hope it could mark a turning point.

The statement also noted that her sons are expected to remain closely involved and spend time with her during this period, as part of a longer-term support plan.

Concerns around Spears’ wellbeing have been ongoing since the end of her conservatorship, with fans pointing to changes in her behaviour and social media activity.

Sources said that during the conservatorship, her life was more structured, while greater independence in recent years has coincided with less stability in her day-to-day routine.

In recent weeks, Spears has also shared posts featuring her sons on social media, expressing gratitude for family support as she focuses on recovery.

In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Jin addressed speculation from fans that he was frustrated about missing the early songwriting phase of the album, which had already begun in Los Angeles while he was completing military service and solo commitments.

More than 100 songs were reportedly developed during the early stages of the project, leading to online discussion about his limited involvement at that point.

Jin acknowledged a brief feeling of disappointment but rejected the idea of resentment.

“I’m a little bummed,” he said, but added that prioritising his own input could have delayed the project and left fans waiting longer. He said his focus remained on the group’s long-term plans rather than immediate participation.

Jin emphasised that his decisions have consistently centred on BTS as a collective, noting that “there’s more to life than just the present” and highlighting the importance of timing in the group’s work.

The singer, who was the first BTS member to enlist for South Korea’s mandatory military service, said his commitment to fans and the group continued throughout his time away, including pre-recorded messages and small gestures during service.

Reflecting on his role in the band, Jin said he values being part of BTS above pursuing a solo career, adding that working independently is not a priority for him.

He also described missing the other members during his time away and reiterated that continuing without the group has never been something he considers meaningful.

Seen in this context, his absence during the early stages of ARIRANG appears less as exclusion and more as a deliberate choice based on trust in the group’s process and shared direction.

The announcement was made on Monday, with a total of 18 artists recognised across multiple categories, celebrating performers and influential figures in music history.

In the Performer Category, this year’s inductees include Phil Collins, Billy Idol, Iron Maiden, Joy Division/New Order, Oasis, Sade, Luther Vandross and Wu-Tang Clan.

The Early Influence Award will go to Celia Cruz, Fela Kuti, Queen Latifah, MC Lyte and Gram Parsons, recognising their lasting impact on the development of music and culture.

Producer Rick Rubin is among those receiving the Musical Excellence Award, alongside Linda Creed, Arif Mardin and Jimmy Miller.

Television icon Ed Sullivan will receive the Ahmet Ertegun Award, which honours non-performing industry figures who have significantly influenced the growth of rock and popular music.

Sullivan is widely remembered for introducing The Beatles to American television audiences through his long-running variety show.

The induction ceremony is scheduled to take place on November 14 at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles and will be broadcast later in December on ABC and Disney+.

The state’s cybercrime wing confirmed that more than 300 piracy links have been blocked as part of an ongoing crackdown.

According to Indian media reports, the arrests were made following a complaint by the film’s producers, VN Productions, who said the film was being shared across multiple digital platforms without authorisation.

Officials said clips — and in some cases the full film — surfaced online on April 9, prompting immediate investigation.

Cases have been registered under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, the Information Technology Act, the Copyright Act, and the Cinematograph Act.

Special teams carried out digital forensic analysis, tracked upload sources, and identified suspects involved in distributing the film via cloud storage and shared drive links.

Authorities have seized digital evidence from those arrested.

The cybercrime unit said monitoring of social media platforms, websites, and file-sharing services is ongoing to prevent further illegal distribution.

Officials warned the public against downloading or sharing pirated content, calling it a punishable offence that could result in strict legal action.

Producers have also urged viewers to delete illegal links immediately or face consequences.

Vijay has not commented on the incident, as he is currently occupied with his political party’s election campaign.

Jana Nayagan, a commercial film with political themes, has also faced delays due to objections raised by the censor board, and certification is still pending.

The achievement marks a first for a Korean artist, as ARIRANG becomes the first album from the country to remain at the top of the chart for more than one week, extending its run to three weeks.

With this, BTS are also the first group since Mumford & Sons in 2012 to spend three straight weeks at No.1 on the Billboard 200.

They are additionally the first act since Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl to debut and remain at the top position for the first three weeks of release.

In the latest tracking week ending April 9, the album recorded 124,000 equivalent units, including over 52 million on-demand streams, reflecting the group’s strong global reach.

Beyond the charts, BTS performed the album live during a three-night residency at Goyang Stadium.

The concerts featured a mix of new tracks and fan favourites such as Spring Day, I Need U, and Run, drawing strong reactions from fans.

The shows also saw appearances by artists including IU, Epik High, WOODZ, LOCO, Park Hyo Shin and Younha, along with younger acts such as LE SSERAFIM and BABYMONSTER members Ahyeon and Chiquita.

Actors including Lee Jung Jae and Im Si Wan were also in attendance.

Fans widely shared moments from the performances online, highlighting the group’s on-stage chemistry and connection with audiences.

Katy Perry, 41, was seen dancing during Bieber’s set and drew attention after joking about a moment in the show where the singer pulled up YouTube on a laptop.

“Thank God he has Premium,” she said. “I don’t wanna see no ads.”

The comment spread rapidly across social media, with fans praising the quip and calling it one of the most relatable celebrity moments of the festival.

Bieber’s set itself was a stripped-down performance on a bare stage, where he appeared in a hoodie and shorts and sat in front of a laptop for much of the show.

He sang along to YouTube videos of his earlier hits, including Baby and Never Say Never.

He also played childhood clips from his early YouTube days, when he first gained attention as a teenager, and interacted with live comments during the broadcast.

The singer opened the set alone, performing tracks from his 2025 albums Swag and Swag II, and repeatedly asked the audience, “How far back do you go?” as he moved through his catalogue.

The show also featured the viral clip in which he told a photographer, “It’s not clocking to you, I’m standing on business.”

Guest appearances included The Kid Laroi, Wizkid, Tems and Dijon.

Reactions to the performance were mixed, with some viewers calling the format underwhelming, while others described it as a personal and nostalgic tribute to his early career on YouTube.

Bieber’s appearance marked his biggest live performance in four years.

He previously cancelled his Justice world tour in 2022 after being diagnosed with Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which caused facial paralysis.

His return to the Grammy stage in February 2025 and the release of Swag the same year had signalled his comeback.

Saturday night’s Coachella set was seen as a major moment in that return, though it still split opinion among fans and viewers.

“We couldn’t go to the concert, so it’s fun to gather with friends and fellow ​BTS ARMY,” Martinez, a self‑employed fan, told Reuters at the AMC theatre at The Grove outdoor ​mall.

ARMY is the name of the band’s global fanbase.

BTS consists of seven members: RM, ⁠Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, who are managed under Big Hit Music, an independent label ​under Hybe Corporation.

The global screenings feature two full-length concerts from BTS’s world tour—one filmed live in Goyang on ​Saturday and another set in Tokyo on April 18—allowing fans worldwide to share in the experience.

Martinez said BTS stands apart from other K-pop groups because of their broad appeal. “It’s not just for younger people. It’s for any age, without limits on ​race or gender,” she said. “Music comes from the heart.”

She met fellow fan Millie B, a pharmacy technician and ​BTS content creator, through Instagram, bonding over their shared love for the group. “I didn’t meet my friends until I became ‌ARMY,” ⁠Martinez said.

Holding her BTS glow stick, Millie B said the entire group’s return after a more than five‑year hiatus has energised fans. “They went to the military, and now they’re finally back with a big tour,” she said. “It’s a big deal.”

BTS went on hiatus in 2022, and all seven members completed South Korea’s mandatory military ​service by mid-2025, before getting ​together to record their ⁠fifth studio album “ARIRANG.”

BTS’s world tour launched on Thursday in Goyang. Released in March, the album topped the Billboard 200 for two weeks, a first for a K‑pop act, ​while lead single “Swim” debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100.

The tour is ​expected to ⁠generate blockbuster revenues, with 34 stops across the globe—including Los Angeles in September—setting a new record for the most dates by a K-pop artist.

Fan Nicole Lee, who already has tickets to the Los Angeles show, said she couldn’t ⁠wait. “I wanted ​to see their performance a little bit early,” she said.

“I’m ​just happy that they’re finally back together again,” Lee added.

For her, the group’s global appeal comes from the communication and care that the ​members offer fans.

“I think people really resonate with that,” she added.

“Paddington The Musical”, based on author Michael Bond’s books ‌and the 2014 film adaptation, brings to life the marmalade-sandwich-loving bear, a refugee from Peru who is named after the London train station where he is found.

The show, with music and lyrics by musician Tom Fletcher, won prizes including best new musical, ​best director and best actor in a musical for the duo who portray the title character ​together.

“With everything that is happening in this world, there will be further displaced people.

Please ⁠be welcoming, accepting and helpful to those people and treat them as you would if you were Paddington ​himself,“ James Hameed, who voices Paddington off-stage in the show while co-winner Arti Shah plays the bear on stage, ​said in their joint acceptance speech.

“Paddington reminds us to be welcoming, inquisitive and most importantly kind.”

It had led nominations alongside “Into the Woods”, a production of Stephen Sondheim’s musical featuring Brothers Grimm characters that won best musical revival, with 11 nods each.

“Punch”, based on ​a real-life story of one man’s fatal punch, won best new play.

“Snow White” star Rachel Zegler won best ​actress in a musical for her portrayal of Argentine first lady Eva Peron in “Evita”, which saw her performing the show’s big ‌number “Don’t ⁠Cry For Me Argentina” live from a balcony outside the theatre.

“Thank you so much to the city of London for making me feel so welcome here. I never could have imagined it,” Zegler said.

“It was the honour of a lifetime singing to the people of Argyll Street eight times a week. I can’t believe I got so ​lucky.”

“Gone Girl” star Rosamund ​Pike won best actress ⁠for legal drama “Inter Alia”, while Jack Holden beat the likes of “Loki” actor Tom Hiddleston, and “Breaking Bad” star Bryan Cranston to win best actor for true-crime thriller play “Kenrex”.

A new ​production of Arthur Miller’s “All My Sons” won best revival and best supporting actor for ​Paapa Essiedu, who ⁠plays Professor Snape in the upcoming “Harry Potter” television series.

Named after actor Laurence Olivier and first handed out in 1976, the awards are Britain’s most prestigious theatrical honours.

As well as celebrating their 50th anniversary, the awards marked other major theatre milestones: ⁠40 years ​of “Phantom of the Opera” and 20 years of “Wicked”, with special performances ​for both.

Sunday’s ceremony at the Royal Albert Hall also saw veteran stage actor Elaine Paige receive a special award in recognition of her “defining ​contribution to musical theatre”.

“Her extraordinary musical journey, ​spanning decades, enriched our cultural heritage ⁠and touched countless hearts across the ​world,” Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in ​a message on X.

“Be it her soulful melodies or vibrant compositions, her voice carried timeless ​brilliance.”

Bhosle had been moved to ​a private hospital in Mumbai on Saturday evening because ‌of ⁠a chest infection and exhaustion, her granddaughter Zanai Bhosle had said earlier.

Bhosle, whose career spanned nearly seven decades, was ​the younger ​sister ⁠of another iconic singer, Lata Mangeshkar.

Over the course of her career, ​Bhosle was nominated for two ​Grammy ⁠awards and was awarded the Dadasaheb Phalke award — India’s top arts award and ⁠also ​India’s second-highest civilian honour.

The video, widely circulated on social media as a “face reveal” of their son Kivan Sultan, has been rejected by Imaan Fatima, who claims it was neither spontaneous nor genuine.

In a strongly worded statement posted online, she alleged the clip was “planned, recorded, and deliberately leaked” by individuals close to Rajab Butt to gain public sympathy and repair his online image.

According to her, Butt had previously assured — both privately and in podcasts — that their son would be kept away from media exposure for several years.

However, she said a private father-son meeting was turned into public content for views and engagement.

Fatima went further, describing the episode as “child exploitation” rather than a personal dispute. She accused Butt’s circle of using a minor without her consent, stating that presenting a one-time meeting as a “sweet memory” and then allowing the video to surface via third parties was deeply hurtful.

“As a mother, this breaks my heart. This is not love or care — this is exploitation,” she said, adding that both she and her child have been deprived of their economic, social, and emotional rights since the beginning.

The allegations have divided social media users, though a significant number have criticized Butt’s conduct.

Some users accused him of prioritising content over relationships, while others expressed sympathy for Fatima, calling her stance courageous.

The couple’s relationship has remained under public scrutiny since their high-profile wedding. Reports of separation, alleged affairs, and ongoing disputes have frequently surfaced online.

This latest controversy involving their son appears to have further deepened the rift.

As of now, Rajab Butt has not issued any official response to the allegations.

Jaafar Jackson, who was 12 when his uncle died in 2009, said he immersed himself in archives ​of footage to prepare for the role, while also drawing on his own memories.

“One of my ​favourites is when I first saw him on stage performing in New York for ⁠the first time, which was the best experience for me,” he told Reuters along the red carpet.

Like watching Michael on screen

Jackie Jackson, who performed with the young Michael Jackson in the Jackson 5 and also pursued ​his own music career, said the portrayal of his brother was so convincing that during the film, he would at times forget that he was actually watching Jaafar.

“He became Michael in the film,” he said.

The film directed by Antoine Fuqua follows ​the rise of the “King of Pop” from lead singer of the Motown group Jackson 5, made up of ​him and his brothers, to Michael striking out on a solo career with ubiquitous hits like Thriller and Beat It.

The film ‌highlights ⁠the iconic outfits that came along with them.

The biggest opening for a musical biopic is $60.2 million in the United States and Canada for the 2015 film Straight Outta Compton.

The Box Office Pro website projects that Michael, which opens in theatres on April 24, will top that, with sales possibly exceeding $80 million.

Controversial aspects

However, any mentions of the most controversial ​aspects of Jackson’s story — ​child molestation allegations — were ⁠removed after attorneys for his estate realised that a legal settlement with an accuser barred discussion of the accusations in the movie, according to a source with ​knowledge of the production.

Jackson, who maintained his innocence, was acquitted in 2005 in ​a criminal trial.

After ⁠his death, further civil claims were brought by other accusers, but Jackson was never convicted of child sexual abuse in a criminal court or found liable in a civil case.

Asked about omitting the controversial parts of Jackson’s life ⁠from ​the film, producer Graham King, whose credits include “Bohemian Rhapsody,” said in ​Berlin on Friday that he “spent a lot of years digging into everything, part of Michael’s life,” and was happy to tell this “celebration story.”
