He said, “Touchwood…We met and started dating in 2012… so 2022 is ten years of me and Deepika. I have nothing but the utmost respect for her and I admire her a lot.

Greendigo, a three-year-old brand focussing on offering organic clothing options for babies has partnered with actor Dia Mirza. Mom, actress, producer, social worker, and long-time champion for sustainability, Dia Mirza, managed by Exceed Entertainment, has chosen to back Greendigo as the brand echoes deeply with her own eco-friendly and conscious lifestyle.

The actor has stepped in as Strategic Investor and Brand Ambassador for the female-founded, sustainability-driven, baby clothing brand. She and her team at Exceed Entertainment strongly believe that the future of our little ones is directly dependent on the choices that we as parents make today. Staying true to the belief, the team together has set out on a mission to partner with like-minded businesses that can affect changes at multiple levels under Dia’s tutelage and allegiance to a safer and healthier environment. Greendigo, an SDGs-compliant business is a very effective and logical chapter in her already existing eco-sphere of sustainable businesses.
Greendigo combines practical designs with organic materials and sustainable processes to create one-of-a-kind garments that are loved by children and adults alike, all whilst ensuring a zero-carbon footprint.

Mirza joins the Greendigo family as a parent first, an advocate second, and an investor third, with the primary goal of bringing alive the company’s powerful and heartfelt purpose to a broader audience.

“We’re thrilled to have Dia on board in a multi-pronged capacity,” says Barkha Bhatnagar Das, Cofounder, Greendigo. “We have a clear and focused vision, which is to make organic kids clothing a norm rather than an exception. With someone as relatable and honest as Dia, we have no doubt that our message will hit home.”
With this partnership, Greendigo hopes to create awareness about the harmful effects of toxic chemicals that are found in conventional baby clothing.

Greendigo hopes to leverage Mirza’s wide and diverse platform to push for a switch to organic, specifically clothing and nursery essentials that focus on comfort, quality, safety, functionality and aesthetics.
“There’s nothing more important to us than the comfort and safety of babies. So, we spend a lot of time understanding the unique challenges that new parents face,” explains Meghna Kishore, co-founder, Greendigo.

Being a new mom and speaking about the strategic partnership, she said, “What I love most about Greendigo is the fact that it speaks to the parent and the planetarian in me. As a mom to a year-old baby boy, I’ve become deeply protective of all nature’s creations. Hence, supporting a brand that safeguards the well-being of all forms of life, couldn’t make me happier. The fact that the brand walks the talk when it comes to sustainable practices resonated with me 100% - be it their internationally certified products, plastic-free packaging, zero carbon emission operations or alignment with all 17 UN SDGs.”

It’s safe to say that this union is a natural extension of both parties, Mirza and the Co-founders, beliefs and values. This also throws light on the growing baby wear segment and the potential this industry has.

Star Trek’s fourth entry has been removed from Paramount Picture’s slate of upcoming releases.  The project, produced by J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot, had been dated to hit theaters on December 22, 2023. According to Variety, the news comes roughly one month after director Matt Shakman exited the Star Trek film, presumably to rejoin the MCU. Shakman first became attached to the sequel in the summer of 2021.

The Star Trek announcement even landed the same day Shakman was nominated for an Emmy for the show. As per the report, it was also announced by Abrams this February, during the Paramount Global investors day presentation, that a new Trek movie “will be shooting by the end of the year and will feature our original cast.”

Star Trek franchise features Chris Pine as Kirk, Zachary Quinto as Spock, Zoe Saldana as Uhura, Karl Urban as Bones, John Cho as Sulu and Simon Pegg as Scotty, who were all expected to return for the fourth untitled follow-up. The last Trek feature came in 2016 with Star Trek Beyond directed by Justin Lin, which became the lowest grosses of any of the Trek reboots from Bad Robot.

While Chris Pine and other stars have all expressed their interest in doing a fourth film, they also expressed skepticism it could move ahead that quickly. But as of now, it’s unclear whether Paramount will move the date and, if they do, who will fill the director’s chair.

Meanwhile, Star Trek has five ongoing Trek series: Star Trek: Discovery, Star Trek: Picard, Star Trek: Lower Decks, Star Trek: Prodigy, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds.

Talking about Satish Kaushik joining the film’s cast, Kangana Ranaut says, “Jagjivan Ram was a very popular leader. One of the most loved and revered leaders of his times. When Mrs Gandhi refused his request of relaxing Emergency, he quit Congress and there were grave consequences for her. That was his relevance.

They are some of the most engaging, entertaining and strong scenes in the film.

Satish Kaushik adds, “When you are playing the role of a historic or political personality then you have to really study and research a lot about the person whom you are playing. It is a great feeling to play the former Defence Minister of India, Babu Jagjivan Ram Ji in Emergency. It would not have been possible without the help of my director, Kangana Ranaut, who is very calm, composed and in full command as the captain of the ship. I love the way she pampers and helps her actors to give the right performance and ensures that even the minutest detail is not missed out.”

Amid all the chaos around the remake version of ‘O Sajna’, Neha Kakkar and Falguni Pathak playing Garba and Dandiya have left netizens confused. For the unversed, days after the release of the Neha Kakkar track, Falguni Pathak slammed the makers of the song while revealing that she wanted to sue them. While the debate on the matter is making rounds on the internet, singer Sona Mohapatra has jumped into the conversation and defended her contemporaries. 

Before voicing her opinion, the ‘Ambarsariya’ singer shared a tweet bashing Bollywood music. In her tweet, Sona wrote, “the constant showcasing of a lack of courage to back new compositions, songwriters, disrespecting creators, writers has destroyed the fabric of what made #Bollywood music culturally relevant.The horror of the Sri Lankan ‘Manike Mage’ remade, case in point2. Puke worthy for me.”

The ‘Jiya Laage Na’ singer shared another tweet, in which she addressed Neha Kakkar and Falguni Pathak’s feud while commenting on people assuming that Neha-Falguni’s online tiff was nothing but a “publicity stunt”. Sona’s tweet read, “& why are people so silly that they’re buying into the PR release of a reality show trying to ride the #FalguniPathak news cycle & discredit her reaction as a publicity stunt? Don’t they know that such shows record episodes much in advance & she must not have a clue then?”. 

Meanwhile, Hindustan Times has also published a report quoting the team of Falguni Pathak. An insider told the publication, “This particular segment was shot during the auditions round. It was shot in August. The timing is all coincidental. They shot the chunk for Navratri. In fact, at that time, Neha and Falguni were quite cordial. Currently, Neha doesn’t even wish to talk about Falguni and was quite clear that she won’t promote the particular episode or talk about what it was like to have Falguni on the sets”.

HYBE previously rolled out the project with BTS’ Permission to Dance on Stage – Las Vegas in April 2022, transforming the entire city with events that took place across the Las Vegas Strip area before and after the concerts.

‘The City’ in Busan plans to hold similar events—from shopping and entertainment, F&B, hotel accommodations and more—throughout the city to set forth the festive atmosphere, while raising the anticipation around the bid to host the World Expo 2030 in Busan Metropolitan City. Highlights from ‘The City’ will include, A photo exhibition ‘2022 BTS Exhibition: Proof’ that opens on October 5 showcasing the 9-year history of BTS’ career; an amusement park event at the Lotte World Adventure Busan which will feature fireworks and laser shows with BTS songs set to run from October 14 to 31; accommodations hotels in the metropolitan area offering exclusive BTS-themed packages; pop-up stores with exclusive official concert merch from the upcoming show in Busan.

On October 15, the concert day, the in-person live broadcast event LIVE PLAY will be held at the Busan Port International Passenger Terminal Outdoor Parking Lot and a special stage in the Haeundae area to deliver the heat of the concert across Busan.

Back in June 2022, BTS were appointed as ambassadors for Busan’s World Expo 2030 bid and would hold the Global Busan Concert to support the nation’s bid to host the Expo in Busan Metropolitan City. HYBE’s Chairman Bang Si-Hyuk and CEO Park Jiwon, and Mayor of Busan Metropolitan City Park Heong Joon signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at the Busan Metropolitan City Hall to promote Busan’s bid for the World Expo 2030. As part of the agreement, BTS as ambassadors will hold the Global Busan Concert in an effort to bring the World Expo 2030 to Busan.

Duchess of Sussex and former actress Meghan Markle allegedly threatened her now-husband Prince Harry to end things if he didn't announce their relationship to the world, according to a new book excerpt published by The Times of London. The new revelations come as part of a new book titled “Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown” by Valentine Low, which is set for release next month.

As reported by Insider, two anonymous sources told the author that Meghan gave Harry an ultimatum regarding their relationship, causing him to panic. "She was saying, 'If you don't put out a statement confirming I'm your girlfriend, I'm going to break up with you," one source told Low. Another source told the author that Harry was "freaking out, saying, 'She's going to dump me.'”

According to the book, Prince Harry contacted Jason Knauf, the communications secretary for Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Prince Harry at the time. As per the book, as reported by the outlet, Harry reportedly told Knauf to release a statement confirming his relationship with Meghan and to condemn the racist treatment she received from British tabloids.

Meghan told Harry's staff that she knew "how the palace worked," adding, "you don't care about the girlfriend. Harry's staff knew that Meghan was different from other royal girlfriends. She had her own opinions and would let people know what they were. In the spring of 2017, more than six months before the couple were engaged, she told one of Harry's advisers: 'I think we both know I'm going to be one of your bosses soon,'" the book reads.

The revelations come after the couple attended a series of memorial services for the late Queen Elizabeth II who died at 96 on September 8.

Hollywood actor Johnny Depp is reportedly dating Joelle Rich, the lawyer who represented Depp in his 2018 libel lawsuit against The Sun. According to Page Six, earlier this week, it was reported that the Pirates of the Caribbean star has been romantically involved with Rich, one of the defense attorneys from his 2020 U.K. libel lawsuit against The Sun.

As the report suggests, Depp isn’t exclusive with his lawyer-turned-girlfriend. The London-based lawyer represented Depp when he sued The Sun for calling him a "wife-beater" in a news article on former-wife Amber Heard's allegations of domestic violence. Depp lost the case with a judge ruling it's "substantially true" he abused Amber Heard on multiple occasions. His team soon filed to appeal the ruling, but the claim was denied in March 2021.

While Rich did not represent Depp in his defamation lawsuit against Heard in the U.S. earlier this summer, she did make several appearances at the courtroom during the trial. At the time she anticipated the US trial would reveal “complete, irrefutable evidence of the truth in the U.S. libel case against Ms. Heard where she will have to provide full disclosure.”

In the U.S. trial, the actor was represented by Camille Vasquez and Benjamin Chew. Depp eventually won the case in June with jury concluding that Heard intentionally and maliciously defamed Depp when she wrote a 2018 Washington Post op-ed identifying herself as a “public figure representing domestic abuse.”

The jury ordered Amber Heard to pay Johnny Depp $15 million in damages and awarded the Aquaman actress $2 million as compensation for one of Depp’s former lawyers having defamed Heard in the media.

A group of 40 crew members, that worked on the production of Don't Worry Darling, issued a joint statement on Saturday denying the reports of tensions between director Olivia Wilde and star Florence Pugh on the set of the psychological thriller.

According to Entertainment Weekly, allegations that Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh got into a "screaming match" on set are "complete false," according to the crew members, which include writer and producer Katie Silberman, producer Miri Yoon, costume designer Arianne Phillips, and director of photography Matthew Libatique.

"As a crew, we've avoided addressing the absurd gossip surrounding the movie we're so proud of, but feel the need to correct the anonymous 'sources' quoted in a recent article," Silberman and co. said in a joint statement issued to People. "Any allegations about unprofessional behavior on the set of Don't Worry Darling are completely false."

Olivia Wilde, "an incredible leader and director who was present with and involved in every aspect of production," the crew said, "ran this set with class and respect for everyone involved." The statement continued, "There was never a screaming match between our director and anyone, let alone a member of our cast."

"We are happy to put our names on this, as real people who worked on the film, and who have witnessed and benefitted from the collaborative and safe space Olivia creates as a director and leader," the crew members continued. "We're also thrilled that the movie is in theaters this weekend."

Miri Yoon, a producer for Don't Worry Darling, also told PEOPLE exclusively, "Rumors of screaming matches between our director and leading lady on set are completely unfounded. We truly hope you enjoy the movie." The statement comes after a Friday report from Vulture tabloid in which an anonymous source recalled a “screaming match” between Wilde and Pugh.

The report said then-studio head Toby Emmerich had to intervene and moderate a “long negotiation process” to ensure that Pugh would participate in the film’s press promotion and “not jeopardize the potential box office.”

Don't Worry Darling arrives in theaters September 30.
