Instead, she has to defend herself and her husband as well as their unborn child and it is ridiculous. Keep reading for more details as to what happened.

Annie Suwan Calls Out ‘Toxic’ Hater

Yash Radhika Pandit’s First Interaction, Silent Cab Ride, Love Story Began (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Yash and Radhika Pandit are one of Sandalwood’s most beloved couples. They recently celebrated eight years of togetherness. Their love story began unexpectedly and quietly during a silent cab ride. Yes, you heard it right. It was the beginning of their beautiful story.

The first time Yash and Radhika met was in 2004 on the sets of the movie Nanda Gokula. However, their first interaction wasn’t filled with conversation. Instead, they shared a cab ride, and neither spoke a word to each other. It seemed like a simple encounter. But this moment marked the beginning of something special. Later, Yash was cast in a film to replace the hero, and the film included Radhika. This gave them more chances to connect, and their bond grew more assertive.

Yash and Radhika worked together in several successful films.

Britney Spears has joined a host of other celebrities fleeing the US in light of Donald Trump‘s presidential win, though for a completely different, and even surprising, reason. Apparently Britney Spears wants peace and to not look like a wrinkly old hag every other day.

Britney Spears – Explains Her Reasons For Moving To Mexico

Britney Spears surprised fans when she announced on Monday that she has officially moved to Mexico. The ‘Toxic’ singer said that she made the decision to get away from all the paparazzi who “hurt my feelings.”

Britney has had a negative view of the press and the music industry in general after breaking away from her 13-year conservatorship, and even though fans speculated at one point she would make a return to music, the pop princess has continued to insist that she will not be making music ever again.

As professional football fans know, the relationship in 2024 between Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets has not been healthy for either side.

The team is 3-9 and Rodgers has a quarterback rating of 87.5, the lowest of his career.

As it turns out, meanwhile, Rodgers also had a negative effect on Shailene Woodley back when he and the actress were a serious item.

“I haven’t shared much about my relationship with Aaron,” Woodley told Outside magazine in an interview published December 3. “Because it always makes me cry.”

The couple ended their engagement in February 2022 after about two years of dating.

We aren’t totally sure what happened between the celebrities, but Woodley said some rather strange and cryptic things in the aforementioned piece.

Britney Spears turns 43 today on December 2nd. She’s been declared “legally single” after her divorce from Sam Asghari. The pop princess is now a single woman in the eyes of the law.

Spears And Asghari Were Wed In June 2022

Unfortunately for Mr. Asghari, the couple had a prenup, so he didn’t win anything in the divorce after a little over a year of marriage to Britney.

The “Toxic” hitmaker paid for Asghari’s rent for a period of time after he moved out. Britney’s third husband claimed she cheated on him and beat him up.

He accused her of giving him a nasty black eye. Of course, we know Britney Spears isn’t exactly the picture of mental stability. In September 2023, she displayed a video of herself dancing with knives.

Asghari also said that Spears asked someone in her staff to film her naked and that she...

Dea Kulumbegashvili’s April scored a double win at the 17th Asia Pacific Screen Awards (Apsa), taking home prizes for best film and best performance for Ia Sukhitashvili.

The Georgian feature centres on a skilled obstetrician at a maternity hospital, who comes under scrutiny after a tragic episode, threatening her secret side job providing unsanctioned abortions. The film premiered at Venice where it won the special jury prize and went on to play Toronto and San Sebastian, winning best film in Zabaltegi-Tabakalera competition at the latter. Metrograph Pictures picked up North American rights last month.

Lithuanian drama Toxic, the debut feature of Saule Bliuvaite, has picked up the Golden Peacock award for best film at the 55th International Film Festival of India.

At the closing ceremony of the festival in Goa, the film also scooped the best actress award, shared between co-leads Vesta Matulyte and Ieva Rupeikaite.

Toxic follows two teenage girls from a bleak industrial town who join an extreme local modelling school. Featuring a cast of non-actors, it premiered at Locarno in August where it won the Golden Leopard for best film as well as the best first feature award.

Lithuanian filmmaker Saulė Bliuvaitė’s “Toxic” took home the best film award at the 55th International Film Festival of India (Iffi) in Goa. The jury, headed by Indian director Ashutosh Gowariker, recognized the film for its portrayal of adolescence and economic hardship.

Previously, at Locarno, “Toxic” won not only the Golden Leopard for Best Film in the fest’s premier International Competition — from a jury chaired by Austrian auteur Jessica Hausner — but also, in an unusual double, the top prize in the separately juried First Feature Competition.

Variety‘s positive review of “Toxic” described the film as “sobering but not without glimmers of tenderness and humor as female friendship takes root in a hopeless place,” adding that its “alternation between chilly composure and kinetic movement roughly corresponds with [the protagonist’s] wavering sense of self.”

Romanian director Bogdan Muresanu nabbed the best director prize for “The New Year That Never Came,” a multi-narrative feature set during a revolution.

1000-lb Best Friends is now in its third season. The cast members, who are also best friends, have been navigating their lives amid their strict weight loss journeys. However, some fans are starting to question Meghan Crumpler and Ashley Sutton’s behavior. They were even deemed “toxic” by some. Keep reading to see why.

1000-lb Best Friends: How Are Meghan Crumpler & Ashley Sutton’s Journey?

Meghan has been doing a great job with her physical journey over the past few months. The 1000-lb Best Friends star is now down below 289 pounds.

Jason Tartick has been through his share of failed relationships. The Bachelor Nation star has seen more than one relationship fail under the glare of the public eye. From his failed engagement to Kaitlyn Bristowe to his breakup with Kat Stickler, Jason's love life has been broadcast for public consumption.

Therefore, when Jason made a guest appearance on another reality television show, Jersey Shore, fans paid close attention to his chemistry with Angelina. The reality stars were clearly getting along very well, and the Jersey Shore cast wasn't shy about calling it out. Angelina was even boldly confronted about what went on between her and Jason. This was a big question, as Angelina was engaged during the episode.

Angelina Pivarnick flirted with Jason Tartick when the Bachelor Nation star made a guest appearance on an episode of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.

The Philippines’ QCinema Project Market (Qpm) handed out $442,000 (PHP26M) in grants and co-production support at its closing ceremony on November 16.

This November, India will host two big film festivals that will change the country’s movie scene and show how committed it is to telling a wide range of stories.

The 55th International Film Festival of India (Iffi) in Goa is making waves with the innovative Golden Peacock competition, which goes against the rules of the film business. Nine of the 15 films in competition were made by women, which is a big step forward for how women are portrayed in movies.

The foreign films in the festival’s lineup are great, with world premieres of films like “Fear & Trembling” from Iran and “Raavsaheb” from India. Some of the films that will be competing are “Holy Cow” from France, which won the Un Certain Regard Youth Prize at Cannes 2024, and “Toxic” from Lithuania, which won the Golden Leopard at Locarno 2024.

The 55th International Film Festival of India (Iffi) has unveiled its main competition lineup, with 15 features vying for the Golden Peacock award carrying an INR4 million prize purse, notably featuring nine films directed by women.

Among the world premieres are Manijeh Hekmat and Faeze Azizkhani’s Iranian drama “Fear & Trembling,” exploring an older woman’s struggles with isolation, and Nikhil Mahajan’s “Raavsaheb,” an Indian crime thriller examining man-animal conflict in tribal lands.

The slate includes festival circuit standouts like Louise Courvoisier’s “Holy Cow” (France), which nabbed the Un Certain Regard Youth Prize at Cannes 2024, and Saulė Bliuvaitė’s “Toxic” (Lithuania), winner of the Golden Leopard at Locarno 2024. Bogdan Mureșanu’s Romanian revolution drama “The New Year That Never Came” arrives fresh from winning Venice’s Horizons and Fipresci awards.

The lineup also includes Belkis Bayrak’s “Gulizar” (Turkey), which played at Toronto and San Sebastian, and George Sikharulidze’s “Panopticon” (Georgia-u.

Listen Carefully: "Haida Street Films and Rbg Films are excited to announce the worldwide VOD debut of Listen Carefully, the latest feature from filmmaker Ryan Barton-Grimley. Barton-Grimley returns to the screen following the 2020 premiere of his previous feature Hawk and Rev: Vampire Slayers. Listen Carefully made its world premiere at Fantaspoa, the International Fantastic Film Festival of Porto Alegre and its North American premiere at Dances With Films.

The psychological thriller went on to screen at Macabro Mexico City, Fangofest Amposta and Scarefest Weekend, where Barton-Grimley was nominated for Best Actor.

Vietnam talent showed strong presence at the 12th QCinema International Film Festival in Quezon City, Philippines, as Trương Minh Quý’s “Viet and Nam” claimed the top prize, while compatriot Dương Diệu Linh’s “Don’t Cry, Butterfly” secured the Grand Jury Prize.

“Viet and Nam,” which made its debut in Cannes Un Certain Regard, emerged victorious in the Asian Next Wave competition. The jury, comprising Babyruth Villarama, Gabor Greiner, Ming-Jung Kuo and Nguyen Le, praised the film for “conjuring the haunting presence of trauma and memories that are embedded within the landscape, and tenderly following a romance that unfolds deep within the coal mines.”

“Don’t Cry, Butterfly,” Dương’s debut feature, follows a middle-aged wife who, upon discovering her husband’s infidelity, embarks on a mystical journey in search of a better life. The film previously won three prizes at Venice.

Maddie Brown has opened up and talked about when she realized her family dynamic was “toxic”. It seems it hit her like a ton of bricks. She thought a lot of the things were normal up until this point. She also spilled on why she does not speak to her father, Kody Brown. Keep reading to find out more.

Kody Brown And His Abandonment

Kody Brown has dug himself a deep hole. He started out his time on Sister Wives with four wives. However, he is now done to only one. Robyn is the only wife still with Kody. Janelle, Meri, and Christine have left. Christine was the first to leave which helped the others leave as well. Now, all seem to be moving on with their lives and are happy as ever. Meri was even working on her dating profile recently while Christine is already remarried. Janelle is enjoying time with her children.

France’s Les Arcs Film Festival has unveiled the line-up for its 16th edition of its mountaintop movie marathon, taking place from December 14-21, 2024.

Eight European films will vie for the festival’s Crystal Arrow awards.

They include Rich Peppiatt’s Kneecap, a comedy about titular west Belfast hip-hop trio that is Ireland’s entry for the best international feature Oscar race and leads the Bifa 2024 nominations, Runar Runarsson’s Icelandic drama When the Light Breaks that opened this year’s Cannes Un Certain Regard, and Kurdwin Ayub’s Moon about a former Austrian martial arts master hired to train...

It’s a shame Toxic wasn’t around for the recent excretions of body-horror discourse. Saulė Bliuvaitė’s debut feature, winner of the Golden Leopard at this year’s Locarno Film Festival, does at least as much to turn the stomach with its tablet of tapeworm eggs than either of The Substance or A Different Man‘s Faustian cures. The rub in Bliuvaitė’s film is that such a pill exists, if only for those willing to wade onto the dark web––even Googling its side effects, as the protagonist discovers, should be done with some degree of caution. The anatomical anxieties and queasy professional demands that create a market for such horrors are the subject of Bliuvaitė’s film, which follows two teenage girls living in the shadow of a Lithuanian power station whose best hope for escape––a dubiously dangled carrot of catwalk fame in Tokyo or Paris...

The Voice Season 26 continues to shine as talented musicians showcase their singing skills and coaches help them improve.

There will be just one winner at the end of the season, and four coaches hope the winner is from their team.

Recently, The Voice aired The Battles: Part 5, with more singers moving on with their coaches, getting stolen, or getting eliminated from the competition.

While episodes typically air on Mondays and Tuesdays, fans won’t see one on Tuesday, November 5.

“When I crack that whip everybody gon’ trip just like a…” So the topic today is Britney Spears and her devastatingly beautiful impact on pop music, not just on her generation’s pop, but her continuing influence on the new pop girlies in town.

The “Toxic” hitmaker may not have released new music in years, but that doesn’t mean that her influence is gone. In fact, she’s as much in high demand now as she was when she was fresh off her debut album and controversial relationship with former *Nsync member, Justin Timberlake.

So with no new music out and no whisper of a rumors of new music coming, why is she no. 6 on Billboard’s greatest popstars of the 21st century list?

The European Film Awards has broadened the scope of its prestigious Best European Film category for this year’s ceremony. Documentaries and animated features will now be eligible to compete alongside traditional narrative films for the top honor.

This change is reflected in the nominations announced ahead of the December 7 ceremony in Lucerne, Switzerland. A record 15 films are nominated in the expanded Best European Film category, representing a variety of storytelling formats. This includes narrative films like “Emilia Pérez” and “The Substance,” documentaries such as Mati Diop’s “Dahomey” and Lina Soualem’s “Bye Bye Tiberias,” as well as the animated film “Flow” by Gints Zilbalodis.

The directing category also highlights both established names and newcomers. Past winner Pedro Almodóvar received a nomination for “The Room Next Door,” alongside Jacques Audiard for “Emilia Pérez,” Andrea Arnold for “Bird,” Mohammad Rasoulof for “The Seed of the Sacred Fig,” and Maura Delpero for “Vermiglio.

Tonight on “The Voice,” the Battles concluded with coaches Michael Buble, Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani pitting two of their 14 acts against each other in head-to-head match-ups. In this round of the competition, only one of the battling artists advances as a member of their team while the other is eliminated… unless another coach uses a steal to save them and bring the artist over to their team.

Michael and Gwen both used their first of two steal options during “The Battles Premiere” on October 21 and Reba used her first one in “The Battles Part 2” on October 22. Then, in “The Battles Part 3” on October 28, Gwen used her second steal and Snoop used his first in a three-way contest alongside Reba and Michael. Snoop then used his second in “The Battles Part 4,” leaving Reba and Michael with one steal apiece heading in to the final night of battle match-ups.

As The Voice finished its Season 26 Battles Monday night, we got one duet after another that would’ve barely qualified as a Tiff. But toward the end of the evening, things picked up in a big way, ultimately leaving us high from a face-off that that was a genuine knockout. Read on, and we’ll discuss all of the showdowns…

With Halloween this week, Dancing With the Stars will celebrate the annual holiday with a themed episode.

According to dance professional Witney Carson, the Week 6 performances will feature the “celebrity’s nightmares” as part of the routines.

Witney already choreographed a scary good dance routine in one of her previous seasons of DWTS.

For Season 33, she teamed up with former NFL star Danny Amendola, and they’ve been among fan favorites.

The couple’s season already included one dance move that inspired a viral trend and a unique Deadpool and Wolverine-inspired dance, complete with superhero costumes and fight sequences as part of the choreography.

It’ll be an exciting installment of DWTS after a Week 5 Disney Night costume caused a jump scare and provided “nightmare fuel” for some.

Stepping into the role of Tina Manfredi on Tulsa King was no small feat for Tatiana Zappardino.

Playing the daughter of a mob boss — especially one portrayed by Sylvester Stallone — brings its own set of challenges, but for Tatiana, it was exactly the kind of role she’d envisioned for herself from the start of her acting career.

When asked if she ever imagined landing such a role, Tatiana doesn’t skip a beat. “I believed in myself,” she says confidently.

After serving in the Marine Corps as a public affairs officer, Tatiana decided to pursue her dreams, maxing out credit cards, taking classes, and diving headfirst into the world of acting.

A lot of information regarding the tragic death of Liam Payne has unraveled since the incident took place at the Casa Sur hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and several of his associates in life and the music business have offered their final messages to the deceased via social media. While the entire world boils in total disbelief, authorities are still trying to piece together the events that took place before Payne lost his life.

Payne, who was a member of the iconic One Direction band, is survived by his sisters Ruth, Nicola, Geoff (father), Karen (mother), and his son, Bear. The 31-year-old singer had his son during a brief relationship with Cheryl Cole, a singer and former judge on the X-Factor.

In the dreary industrial town of Marija and Kristina, escape seems like a distant dream. Marija has just moved in with her grandmother after her mother leaves for pastures new.

A limp leaves the 13-year-old an easy target for bullies at her new school. Kristina lives a similarly tough life with her dad, who prefers boozing to parenting. Their paths first cross through a scuffle over stolen jeans, but a shared love of fashion and desire to break free of their bleak surroundings brings the unlikely friends together.

When a shady modeling agency rolls into town offering the promise of fame and fortune abroad, it seems like the chance they’ve been waiting for. But their excitement soon gives way to despair as they subject themselves to punishing regimes to meet impossible standards of beauty. Starving themselves thin and making themselves throw up, the pressures pile higher with each audition.

Since Top Chef is one of the best reality shows, it has millions of devoted fans who want to learn all they can about the show. For example, fans want to know how Top Chef affected Leah Cohen's love life and whether Alex Reznik stole another chef's food. As interesting as Top Chef's memorable competitors are, many fans are even more interested in the show's judges and hosts.

For that reason, fans have learned things like what Padma Laskshmi hated about hosting Top Chef. Since she dealt with her own problems, fans also want to know if Padma gave Kirsten Kish advice when it was announced she would be Top Chef's new host.

During the first season of Top Chef, the show was hosted by Katie Lee. However, she left the show after that and...

Whether we like it or not, “toxic fans” have become a fixture in modern pop culture. While the term is sometimes misapplied, it often accurately describes those who believe they have a superior understanding of a franchise—acting as if they’re the only ones who truly “get” it.

These individuals, while not genuine fans, perceive themselves as gatekeepers. They claim to know what the creator intended, sometimes even believing they understand the franchise better than the creators themselves.

They assert what fits within the lore and what doesn’t. Unfortunately, their version of what’s “lore-friendly” often excludes women, non-Caucasian characters, and LGBTQ+ representation, exposing an underlying prejudice.

This toxicity manifests through actions like review-bombing and negative campaigns against shows and films, especially when diversity is involved.

As a result, major studios are shifting their focus, choosing to engage with superfans—those who embrace the broader vision of a...

George Lucas spent years trying to perfect the prequel trilogy of Star Wars after the originals. However, his films faced significant backlash when they hit theaters. Over the years, fans have come to love the prequel series. Lucas never wished he could’ve had a superfan focus group at the time that told him what would work and what wouldn’t.

Just like Lucas, James Cameron also spent more than a decade perfecting the Avatar sequel. If these legends were driven by inputs from fans, studios wouldn’t have their billions of dollars worth of projects. This is exactly why fans stand against the idea of creating a cluster of superfans to assess films before release.

Former Black Midi singer-guitarist Geordie Greep takes stock of contemporary masculinity with his first solo album, The New Sound. Where Black Midi constructed elaborate worlds to tell stories about boxers and soldiers on albums like 2022’s Hellfire, Greep trains his focus on the type of men who worship at the altars of celebrity influencers like Andrew Tate and Jordan Peterson here, going so far as to adopt their voices and stick with them long enough to show the cracks in their pumped-up egos.

Greep writes lyrics by the paragraph and sings them frantically, as though he’s terrified that a song will run out before he gets to say everything on his mind. “Blues” savagely dissects a man who “should pay [a beggar] to follow you around and play your theme” before directing him to confront the inevitability of decay and death, yet the narrator sounds as jerky as his target.

Just when everybody thought the MCU was done, Deadpool & Wolverine shut the haters in the best possible way. With its R-rated gore and terrific cameos, the 2024 multiversal adventure raised a storm at the box office. However, the records are not the only thing that are shattered by the film, it also shattered the MCU with a harsh roast in the latest-released deleted scene.

One of the primary reasons behind Deadpool & Wolverine‘s success was its meta jokes. The film continued the quirky trend of Deadpool films to go full meta and induce several self-referential jokes and several real-life events in the screenplay. But the recently released deleted footage hinted that the Ryan Reynolds film was supposed to go more merciless on the MCU.

The 2024 film festival summer closed out with the prizing at the Locarno Film Festival and it’s the debut feature of a Lithuanian filmmaker who claimed to highest prize in the Golden Leopard aka the Pardo d’Oro. Our Nicholas Bell admired the “distinctive choices” made in Saulė Bliuvaitė‘s Akiplėša (Toxic) – “elevating this beyond both miserabilism or sentimental absolution, meandering like its subjects toward some ill-formed ideas about how to escape an environment they did not choose and will certainly not uplift them.” Read the full ★★★ review here.

Toxic (Akiplėša), the debut feature from Saulė Bliuvaitė, has won the 2024 Golden Leopard, the top prize at the Locarno Film Festival.

Toxic follows two teenage girls from a bleak industrial town who join an extreme local modelling school. Featuring a cast of non-actors, it was selected for Les Arcs work-in-progress programme in 2023, and was also a prize-winner at Meeting Point Vilnius this year.

Bendita Film Sales are handling sales. The film also won Locarno’s Swatch first feature award.

The Golden Leopard for best film includes a cash prize of Chf 75,000 to be shared equally between the film’s director and producer.

Akiplėša (Toxic), the feature debut from Lithuanian writer and director Saulė Bliuvaitė that explores the human body and mysterious model agencies, is the winner of the Locarno Film Festival’s 2024 international competition, which was honored with the Pardo d’Oro, or Golden Leopard, in the Swiss town on Saturday. Locarno77 organizers called the movie “an incisive portrayal of teenage girls and the crushing expectations imposed upon them.”

Meanwhile, the special jury prize went to Iraq-born Austrian auteur Kurdwin Ayub for her sophomore fiction feature Mond (Moon). The film follows former martial artist Sarah who leaves Austria to train three sisters from a wealthy Jordanian family. “It’s all about sisters, no matter where they come from, and about cages, no matter where they are,” according to Ayub.
