Blake Lively’s team says Justin Baldoni lawsuit ‘desperate’: ‘It will fail’ – National

The legal battle between It Ends With Us co-stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni continues. In response to Baldoni’s new $400-million defamation and extortion lawsuit against the Gossip Girl star, Lively’s legal team said in a statement, “This latest lawsuit from Justin Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios, and its associates is another chapter in the abuser playbook.”“This is an age-old story: A woman speaks up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation and the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim,” the statement continued. “This is what experts call DARVO. Deny. Attack. Reverse Victim Offender.”“Wayfarer has opted to use the resources of its billionaire co-founder to issue media statements, launch meritless lawsuits, and threaten litigation to overwhelm the public’s ab...

Rasika Dugal spills the beans on her role in Delhi Crime 3, Mirzapur: The Film

Reprising the role of Neeti Singh, season on season, in Delhi Crime is a special feeling, says Rasika Dugal. “The show’s intensity always leaves a mark on me,” smiles the actor, who began shooting for the third edition of the Shefali Shah-led police procedural drama in late 2024. While the second instalment focused more on her character’s personal life, the upcoming season will delve into the upright cop’s professional challenges. Currently shooting the Netflix series in Mumbai, Dugal shares, “Neeti is very close to my heart. We filmed the first season in January 2018, and we are now in 2025 as we film the third. It has been such an interesting experience to grow along with the character. It’s not often that one gets to have an experience like this as a performer. I have been following th...

How to find your signature style: a stylist’s guide

I’ve spent nearly 20 years helping women transform not just their wardrobes but also how they see themselves. For me, a signature style is far more than a collection of outfits – it’s the foundation of your personal brand and a powerful tool for building confidence.What is a signature style – and why does it matter?Your signature style is your personal calling card. It’s not about chasing trends or wearing expensive labels; it’s about creating a look that feels authentically you. How you dress is a language, and every outfit you wear communicates something about who you are before you’ve even said a word.Think of your style like a brand – consistent, intentional, and unmistakable. For example, Jo Malone’s packaging is instantly recognisable and signals quality. Your wardrobe should do the ...

Study identifies three psychological profiles to gauge dementia risk

Researchers have identified three psychological profiles that can help estimate an individual`s risk of dementia, by analysing how characteristics, such as having a sense of purpose in life or constant brooding combine to influence the risk. Previous studies have suggested that psychological traits, such as a tendency for distress and negative thoughts, are potential risk factors for cognitive decline and neurodegeneration, while having a sense of purpose and self-reflection could offer protection against mental decline. In a study involving 1,000 middle-aged adults and older people in Europe without cognitive impairment, researchers led by those at the University of Barcelona, Spain, examined how the combination of risky and protective psychological factors form `psychological profiles`...

Is TikTok being banned? Everything you need to know after Supreme Court rules to shut down the app

TikTok, the video-sharing platform owned by Chinese company ByteDance, will be shut down in the United States on Sunday unless it can find a new owner. American lawmakers argue its current proprietorship poses a national security threat. It comes after outgoing president Joe Biden signed legislation into law last April that would require the company to sell TikTok by January 19, 2025. His administration, along with members of Congress, have argued that the platform’s ownership compromises American national security because of the app’s tracking and data collection capabilities. It also says there is a risk that Beijing could use the app to spread propaganda. In the UK, the app has been banned on government devices out of similar concerns.Opponents of the ban have framed it as an attack on ...

It is expected to OK the ceasefire, which could start as soon as Sunday, even though it has drawn fierce resistan...
