14 April,2026 03:08 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentRapper Offset made a return to the stage at the weekend, a few days after he was shot. The rapper was gunned down outside the Hard Rock Casino in Florida on April 6 but he took to the stage. He was performing again at Rowfest at the University of Arkansas recently. The rapper took to his Instagram, and shared a video of himself on the stage in a wheelchair before rising to his feet as the crowd cheered. During the show, the rapper wore a skeleton face mask, and appeared to stand for the performance. However, the chair was close to him in case he needed to rest. His mother later celebrated the rapper on social media, as she said in a video shared on The Shade Room's Instagram account, "I don't typically address things about my son on social media... but today I have to speak. Six days ago my son was shot. Four days later, he was released from the hospital. Last night, he was on the stage doing what he loves to do. He is a miracle walking. That is God's grace. That is God's mercy. He loves us all. For every person who reached out, prayed, called, sent a text, thank you... Your kindness meant everything to me”. The 34-year-old rapper sustained "non-life threatening injuries" in the incident, and after being discharged from hospital, he promised to "be better" and focus on the things that matter. He took to his Instagram, and shared a note, as he wrote, "Thank you to everyone who’s checked in on me and showed me love! I’m good….but I’m planning to be better! I’m focused on my family, my recovery, and getting back to the music…realizing that life is made up of quiet wins and loud losses. Life’s a gamble and I’m still playing to win”. As per reports, Lil Tjay, whose real name is Tione Jayden Merritt, was arrested and "charged in connection with the incident”. He was charged with disorderly conduct.

14 April,2026 02:18 PM IST | Los Angeles | IANSThe three time Oscar-winning filmmaker Steven Spielberg has revealed the reason behind shelving the sci-fi epic ‘Robopocalypse’. The director shared that he shelved the film because it was on course to become "the most expensive movie" he'd ever made. The director wanted to bring Daniel H. Wilson's 2011 novel to the big screen, but he worried it would be a "company-ender" if it failed to make back its estimated USD 200 million budget, reports ‘Female First UK’. He told ‘Empire’ magazine, "It was gargantuan. It was a company-ender. It would have ended a whole studio that would have never made its money back". He further mentioned, “My company, DreamWorks, financed all these films, and I did not want to bring Robo into my own company, because it would have just been too expensive for us to produce. And then I took it out to other companies”. “I didn’t want to pay for it, but other companies were interested in paying for it, as long as I was the director. The budget was so high that I didn’t want to do that to anybody because I couldn’t guarantee the audience. I couldn’t even hope for a crowd that big that would justify that kind of a financial overreach. So, I literally decided it was going to be the most expensive movie I ever directed, and I wasn’t ready to take that on”, he added. As per ‘Female First UK’, the director went on to reveal he has plenty more sci-fi films he still wants to make and he still hopes to eventually make his first horror movie. It comes after the director recently acknowledged he also wants to make a Western and he's got a project already in development, teasing the film will have "horses and guns" but he is trying to steer away from other conventions and "tropes" typically associated with the genre, though he didn't give any plot details. Speaking with The Big Picture at SXSW in Austin, Texas last month, he said, "Well, I'm developing a Western. And it's gonna have horses. There will be guns. But there'll be no tropes, I can just tell you that. There are gonna be no stereotypes, no tropes”. The Jaws director has long discussed his desire to work on a Western.

14 April,2026 02:12 PM IST | Los Angeles | IANSAhead of her May 18 trial against Justin Baldoni, Blake Lively has filed a motion requesting that the jury be barred from hearing any details about her financial status or that of her husband, Ryan Reynolds. The move comes amid concerns that her wealth could unfairly influence how jurors perceive her claims of financial loss. Moreover, Lively is reportedly planning to show the jury a video of Justin Baldoni, questioning if he “harassed” Britney Spears as evidence of his behaviour with women. Blake Lively plans to use Justin Baldoni's interview about Britney Spears The actress plans to use a 2017 clip of Baldoni recalling his awkward interaction with Britney Spears when the singer guest-starred in an episode of his show Jane the Virgin, the Daily Mail reported. In an old interview with Fuse, Baldoni admitted that he was a huge fan of the pop star in high school, and he couldn't wait to see her even though they didn't have any scenes together. “I had gone up to her and in my mind, we’re friends,” he said laughingly, noting that they had tweeted at each other earlier, but “We weren’t.” Recalling the awkward interaction, he said, “And I went up and I gave her … I went, ‘Hey!,’ and I gave her a big hug and I think I scared her, because she was like, ‘Hi,’ and I just had this awkward moment of, like, ‘Did I just harass Britney Spears?'” Now, Lively will be using the anecdote to prove her claims of harassment against Baldoni. Blake Lively plans to hide her wealth As per the legal documents referenced by TMZ, Lively has asked the court to exclude any mention of her and Ryan Reynolds’ net worth during the proceedings. Since the couple is reportedly worth around 380 million dollars, Lively’s legal team is afraid that bringing this information to light could bias the jury. They fear the jurors may dismiss her claims or view her grievances as insignificant due to her financial standing. Lively had previously alleged that she suffered losses amounting to USD 161 due to the smear campaign, making her current move to hide her wealth more significant. The situation is also complicated by the fact that a judge has already dismissed her defamation claim, raising questions about the relevance of that financial figure in the trial. Blake Lively wants to block references to Ryan Reynolds' character Apart from the financial matters, Blake Lively has also moved to block any references to the character played by Ryan Reynolds in the films Deadpool & Wolverine. The character, named Nicepool, allegedly mocks Baldoni. Baldoni’s legal team had reportedly intended to use this portrayal to argue that Lively and Reynolds engaged in bullying behaviour, reported Times Now. However, a judge has already ruled that this line of evidence is irrelevant and cannot be introduced in court.

14 April,2026 09:58 AM IST | Mumbai | IANSRapper Kanye West may be perpetually surrounded with controversies but his value continues to soar. The rapper has seen the value of his early artwork surge to an estimated USD 3.1 million. The 48-year-old rapper created the drawings and paintings as a teenager while studying at Polaris School in Chicago, and they were first brought to wider attention when they were made public in 2021, reports ‘Female First UK’. At the time, the works were valued between USD 16,000 and USD 23,000. They were later acquired by Washington DC-based entrepreneur and collector Vinoda Basnayake, whose purchase price remains undisclosed due to a non-disclosure agreement. Vinoda has now claimed the works are worth USD 3.1 million after having them reappraised under the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice in late 2025. As per ‘Female First UK’, the collection includes five works, among them a circa 1995 drawing of Kanye’s mother, Donda West, who died aged 58, now valued at USD 335,000. Vinoda has now said the original television valuation underestimated the significance of the works. He told Page Six it “materially missed the bigger picture” because “they approached the work as typical celebrity art, which on its own doesn’t usually command major value”. He added “the pieces should instead be contextualised as the opening chapter in the creative journey of Kanye West”, who he hailed as “someone who went on to become one of the best-selling producers, musical artists, and fashion designers of an entire generation”. Interest in the collection has grown following coverage online and on social media, including by rap-focused outlet Bars, prompting Vinoda to speak publicly about the valuation. Kanye’s broader public profile has remained contentious after his series of antisemitic outbursts online led to his brand deals collapsing and the rapper being “cancelled”. Huge events linked to Kanye have also faced disruption. Most recently, the Wireless Festival in London was cancelled after brands withdrew over his involvement as a headliner, and he was refused permission to enter England by the government.

During the recent episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, the host asked the actress for her "biggest ick", to which she said, "Shoes from the street in New York City”. Drew, 51, quipped, "Yes, you cannot. If you want to go into her house, put a body condom on”. Laughing, Cameron concurred, "You have to change your clothes to come into my house in New York”.
