Shiloh Jolie, the daughter of actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, is set to appear in K-pop artist DAYOUNG’s upcoming music video. A short preview of the video has already been released, and the 19-year-old has grabbed attention for her performance and uncanny resemblance to her mother, Angelina Jolie. Notably, the makers were unaware of her lineage until filming was completed. Angelina Jolie’s daughter Shiloh in Korean music video The 19-year-old features in a teaser for singer Dayoung’s upcoming track What’s a Girl to Do. In the teaser, Shiloh is seen performing a choreographed dance sequence, dressed in a lacy top with slicked-back hair and hoop earrings. Her appearance quickly went viral, not just for her moves but also for her uncanny resemblance to Angelina Jolie. According to the music label, she was selected through an open audition in the US, and the team reportedly had no idea about her famous parentage until after filming was complete. “Is that Angelina Jolie's daughter?” asked a netizen. “Shilohhh omggg I can’t waittt,” said another. “The DNA goes crazzzzzy, beautiful girl,” read a comment on Instagram. “Perfect combo of both parents,” wrote another. More about Shiloh Shiloh, who has largely stayed away from the spotlight, has occasionally made public appearances. In May last year, she attended a dinner marking fashion designer Isabel Marant’s collaboration with Net-A-Porter, as reported by Variety. At the same event, she contributed as a choreographer for musician Luella’s performance of her single Naïve, working alongside dancers Keoni Rose and Tako Suzuko. Shiloh formally changed her name in 2024. After turning 18 in May, she filed to remove “Pitt” from her surname, a decision that was legally approved in August. Following the court’s approval, her name was changed from Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt to Shiloh Nouvel Jolie. About Angelina and Brad Alongside Shiloh, Angelina, 49, and Pitt, 61, share five other children—Maddox, 23; Zahara, 20; Pax, 21; Knox, 16; and Vivienne, 16. Their divorce was finalised in December 2024 after an eight-year legal battle. In May, Brad Pitt addressed the high-profile split publicly for the first time. When asked by GQ whether he felt “relief,” he said, “No, I don’t think it was that major of a thing. Just something coming to fruition. Legally,” he told the magazine.
05 April,2026 07:34 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentSupermodel Gigi Hadid has publicly addressed her name appearing in recently released documents tied to Jeffrey Epstein, calling the reference "disturbing" and firmly denying any association with him. The documents, released by the US Department of Justice (DOJ), include a December 2015 email exchange in which Epstein is asked about the professional success of Gigi and her sister, Bella Hadid. In the exchange, a redacted individual questioned how the sisters became successful models and earned significant income. Epstein responded briefly, dismissing claims that their father financed their careers and attributing their success to following directions, as per E! News. Hadid responded to the controversy after a social media user criticised her for not speaking out sooner. Replying to the comment, she said the documents "made me sick to my stomach", adding that it was "horrible to read someone you've never met speak about you that way, especially in this context", as quoted by E! News. She explained that her initial silence was intentional, stating she did not want to detract from the experiences of Epstein's victims. However, she clarified her position after realising that her lack of comment may have been misinterpreted. "I want to state unequivocally that I have never had any affiliation with that disgusting human being," Hadid wrote, noting she was around 20 or 21 years old at the time the email was written. Addressing her career, Hadid emphasised her work ethic, saying that although she "grew up privileged", her parents, Mohamed Hadid and Yolanda Hadid, instilled strong values. She added that since signing with a modelling agency in 2012, she has worked consistently to build her career. Epstein, who had previously pleaded guilty to charges involving the procurement of a minor, was arrested in July 2019 on federal sex trafficking charges. As per E! News, he died by suicide in prison weeks later while awaiting trial. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

05 April,2026 06:43 PM IST | Mumbai | ANIHollywood actor Blake Lively has spoken out after facing a major setback in her ongoing legal battle against Justin Baldoni, vowing to continue her fight despite the court dismissing most of her claims. Blake Lively's case sees a setback A US federal judge recently struck down 10 out of 13 allegations made by Lively in connection with their film It Ends With Us. The dismissed claims included serious accusations such as sexual harassment, defamation and conspiracy, significantly narrowing the scope of the case. Reacting to the development, Lively described the situation as emotionally difficult but made it clear that she has no intention of backing down. In a public statement, she expressed determination to pursue justice, indicating that the legal fight is far from over. The actor also highlighted the personal toll the case has taken on her, calling the experience “unfathomably painful.” Despite this, she emphasised the importance of speaking up and standing firm, particularly in situations involving alleged misconduct and retaliation. While the majority of her claims were dismissed, the court has allowed a few key allegations to proceed. These include claims related to retaliation and breach of contract, which will now be examined in court. The case is scheduled to go to trial in May 2026, where both sides are expected to present their arguments. Blake breaks silence on the case Lively’s legal team has argued that the dismissal of several claims was based on technical grounds rather than a reflection of the validity of her concerns. They maintain that the remaining allegations are significant and could still hold weight in court. Meanwhile, Baldoni has consistently denied all accusations. His legal representatives have welcomed the court’s decision, describing it as a positive development in his defence. The dispute, which began in 2024, has drawn widespread attention due to its high-profile nature and the serious allegations involved. It has also sparked broader conversations within the entertainment industry about workplace conduct, power dynamics, and the challenges of addressing such issues through legal channels. Despite the setback, Lively’s latest statement underscores her resolve to continue the legal battle. As the case heads toward trial, it remains under intense public scrutiny, with its outcome likely to have wider implications beyond the individuals involved.

Our power went off. We’re safe for now, but there’s a lot of people who weren’t, so we’re sending all our love.” Momoa added, “The North Shore is pretty gnarly right now. So hopefully everyone’s safe and getting out. Stay safe out there.” According to a report released by the University of Hawaii, the storm resulted in 2 trillion gallons of rainfall across 14 days, reports deadline.com.

The book was successful, as was Steven Spielberg's 1993 film adaptation. Crichton's 1995 sequel novel, The Lost World, was followed by a 1997 film adaptation, also directed by Spielberg. Crichton did not write any further sequels in the series, although Spielberg would return as executive producer for each subsequent film, starting with Jurassic Park III. In 2015, a second trilogy of films began with the fourth film in the series, Jurassic World. The film was financially successful and was followed by Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and Jurassic World Dominion. Jurassic World Rebirth, a new film set after the preceding trilogy, was theatrically released in 2025. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

04 April,2026 10:45 AM IST | Mumbai | IANSHollywood actress Sharon Stone has revealed the name of the actor with whom she shared the best on-screen kiss. The actress branded Robert De Niro "the best kisser in the business", reports ‘Female First UK’. The 68-year-old actress starred opposite the screen legend in 1995's Casino, and she'll never forget how he smooched her "right out of (her) shoes" during one particular scene. Speaking on SiriusXM's Radio Andy, she said, “We did this scene where I have to go to the bathroom, and because I play this hustler, I get him to give me money to go. He gives me this money and I look at him like, ‘Really? I think a little more than USD 50 for the bathroom. And he, reaches in and he gives me, like, USD 100, and then I lean over and I kiss him”. As per ‘Female First UK’, after DeNiro "knocked (her) out" with their kiss, director Martin Scorsese told them he had the shot he needed, but still offered another take. Sharon quipped, “We both looked at him and went, ‘Yeah, I think maybe we need one more’”. This isn't the first time the Basic Instinct actress has praised the Godfather actor as a great kisser, and previously suggested it was because she held De Niro “in such extraordinary high regard”. She said on Watch What Happens Live, “It was (with) the actor that I admired the most. And my whole career. I just wanted to be able to sit across the table from Robert De Niro and hold my own. “There was just so much attached to it, but I was just so madly in love with him. “He probably could have hit me in the head with a hammer and I would have been like, ‘Oh yeah’”. Meanwhile, Sharon recently criticised the sex scenes on many TV shows, admitting she often "fast-forwards" through them when watching at home.

04 April,2026 07:38 AM IST | Los Angeles | AgenciesHollywood star Blake Lively has suffered a major legal setback in her ongoing lawsuit against Justin Baldoni, as a US federal judge dismissed most of her claims related to their film It Ends With Us. Blake Lively's case gets dismissed The ruling, delivered by Judge Lewis Liman in New York, significantly narrows the scope of the case. Out of multiple allegations filed by Lively, including sexual harassment, defamation and conspiracy, the court struck down the majority, allowing only a few claims to move forward. According to the court, Lively’s sexual harassment claims could not proceed under federal law because she was considered an independent contractor rather than an employee during the film’s production. Additionally, the judge noted that certain allegations did not fall under California law, as the incidents in question occurred outside the state. A key aspect of the ruling was the distinction between alleged actions directed at Lively personally and those involving her character in the film. The judge observed that some of the conduct cited in the lawsuit such as creative decisions or scene additions—was tied to the character and narrative, not necessarily to Lively as an individual. Despite the setback, Lively’s legal battle is far from over. The court has allowed her retaliation claims to proceed, meaning a jury may still examine whether Baldoni or his production company engaged in actions that harmed her career after she raised concerns about on-set conditions. These remaining claims also include breach of contract and related allegations. All about the lawsuit The lawsuit, originally filed in December 2024, alleged that the working environment during the film’s production was inappropriate and that Lively faced backlash after speaking out. The case quickly gained widespread attention, drawing in several high-profile names and sparking intense debate within the industry. Baldoni has consistently denied all allegations. His legal team welcomed the dismissal of the majority of claims, calling it a significant step in defending his position. Meanwhile, Lively’s representatives have indicated that she remains committed to pursuing the remaining aspects of the case and presenting her side in court. The trial for the surviving claims is scheduled to begin in May 2026. While the latest ruling marks a major turning point, the dispute continues to unfold, keeping both actors in the spotlight as the legal battle heads toward its next phase.
03 April,2026 06:54 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentWhen Meryl Streep stepped into the razor-sharp stilettos of Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada, she didn’t just play a character, she created a cultural phenomenon. As the icy, commanding, and unforgettable editor-in-chief, Streep became one of cinema’s most iconic figures, leaving audiences both terrified and transfixed. Meryl Streep reacts to her relation with Anna Wintour Widely believed to be inspired by fashion powerhouse Anna Wintour, the character blurred the lines between reel and real, cementing its place in pop culture history. Now, in a surprising twist, a new study has revealed that Streep and Wintour are distantly related sixth cousins, connected through shared ancestors dating back generations. “Well, THAT explains EVERYTHING,” Streep reacted to the revelation. “As our ancestors would say, I am chuffed!” Her comment is a cheeky nod to the uncanny overlap between her iconic portrayal and its real-world inspiration, making the discovery all the more full-circle. Meryl Streep on The Devil Wears Prada budget Oscar-winning actress Meryl Streep returns as Miranda Priestly after 20 years with The Devil Wears Prada 2. The 20th Century Studios film is set to release this summer. Ahead of its release, Streep opened up about the budgets allocated to 'chick-flicks'. She credited the success of films such as Barbie and Mamma Mia for a boast in budget. Streep also added that 20th Century Studios 'spent money' on The Devil Wears Prada 2. When asked how different things are from the time passed between the two films, Streep said, “20 years ago, it was categorised as a chick-flick and that designation has kind of not worn well. After Barbie and Mamma Mia, to throw that in, and other films that completely catch the studios by surprise that people want to see them. Because they have women in the centre of the story. So, they were not... We had to scramble for our budget and that was true. I think I've talked to Greta [Gerwig] about it, that was true with Barbie a little bit, in comparison to what they spend on other films. This one, honey, they spent the money," Meryl Streep said on The Late Show.

The Pitch Perfect actress and her husband Josh Allen have confirmed they have welcomed their first child into the world, but haven't offered any details including her name or when she was born. The couple announced in a post shared to Hailee's Beau Society Substack, reports ‘Female First UK’. They shared, “Our baby girl has arrived. We’re feeling incredibly grateful and blessed and savouring these early moments. Thank you so much for the love and well wishes”. Last month, the 29-year-old actress celebrated her impending new arrival with 30 of her closest female friends and family members at a backyard baby shower. Hailee, who married Josh last year, wrote on her Substack, "On a sunny Saturday in Los Angeles, my mom and about 30 women I love so much gathered in my most comfortable place, my backyard, for a baby shower. My mom planned the entire gorgeous thing”. As per ‘Female First UK’, the Sinners actress shared that there was "no baby shower theme, per se, but a subtle nursery rhyme thread was woven throughout the decor".

It was Sudoku or knitting, and she chose the latter. Our family would joke that she was going to knit the red carpet because she didn’t stop. She taught me how to knit way back when. I can’t really cast on or off, but I was able to knit a square to put on this baby’s blanket. I feel like I reopened a fun hobby”. Hailee and Josh tied the knot in May 2025.
