BLACKPINK to formally release new album in September

0

K-pop girl group BLACKPINK will officially drop its highly-anticipated second studio album in September and will begin their world tour a month later in October.

It has been earlier announced that the quartet will return to the music scene this month with the new album, reports Yonhap.

But YG Entertainment said in a video posted on its official blog for announcing broad schedules for the band’s comeback that the group will pre-release some of the upcoming album’s tracks this month and officially drop the album in September.

In October, the group will begin its largest-ever world tour to meet its international fans, the agency added without giving exact dates or hours.

“The name for this comeback project is ‘Born Pink,’ which implies the identity of BLACKPINK, which is never ordinary and will exude a fatal aura,” the agency said in a press release.

The upcoming album will mark the band’s first project with all four members in one year and 10 months.

The last whole-group release was in October 2020 with the band’s first full-length album ‘The Album’, including the main single ‘Lovesick Girls’ and ‘How You Like That’, a pre-released song.

‘The Album’ became the first million-selling album from a K-pop girl group, selling more than 1.4 million copies. It was a big success in the global market, debuting at No. 2 on Billboard 200 and the British Official Chart for albums upon its release.

In 2021, individual albums by members Rose and Lisa were as successful as the group’s first studio album. BLACKPINK has recently extended its lead as the most-followed musical act on YouTube after hitting 75 million subscribers.

Ex-Pak PM Shahid Abbasi accused of taking bribe from Indian company

0

Shahbaz Gill, chief of staff to PTI chairman Imran Khan, has accused former Pakistan Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi of taking a bribe from an Indian company when he was the Petroleum Minister in the cabinet of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif,

Gill alleged that Abbasi took 140 million per bribe from the Indian firm as a consultancy fee and the money was transferred to his bank account in three transactions, one in December 2016 and two in January 2017, The News reported.

Gill said he and Abbasi had accounts with the same bank and demanded that details of both accounts be put before the public.

He claimed that the former premier had tried to give the impression of being an upright person as Prime Minister, but this was far from reality.

Responding to Gill’s allegations, Abbasi challenged the PTI leader to take the matter to a court of law if he had evidence.

In a statement from Islamabad, the former premier said the PTI and its “mudslinging brigade” had been ruling the country for four years and instituted two cases against him.

Abbasi urged his political opponent to petition a court to file yet another case against him and present the “so-called evidence”.

During his press conference, Gill also told reporters that PTI chief Imran Khan was briefed about the relief efforts to help flood victims in Punjab and the progress made on the Ehsaas social safety and poverty alleviation program.

He said that the PTI chairman would also meet party lawmakers from six Punjab divisions separately to discuss party affairs and a strategy for the next general election.

Bollywood actress Aahana Kumra will be seen hosting ‘The Inventor Challenge’, a competitive reality show.

Aahana said: “The Inventor Challenge has an interesting concept. What I like the most is that the show will not only provide a space for innovations to thrive but also help inventors to develop their ideas and take them forward.”

Nikhil Siddhartha says industry politics makes him cry out of helplessness

0

The much-anticipated premiere of ‘Karthikeya 2’ has caused issues for the young actor, Nikhil Siddhartha though. In a recent media interview, Nikhil stated that he now realized how challenging it is to set a release date and then carry it out.

According to him, ‘Karthikeya 2’ was initially slated to hit theatres on July 22, but that date was later changed to August 12. As the producers are now required to reschedule the release for October starting on this date. The actor admitted, “The powerless situation made me cry.”

Nikhil, a rising star in Tollywood, has a number of intriguing projects planned for the future. He will star in the ‘Karthikeya 2’, the sequel to his super hit movie ‘Karthikeya’, as well as the suspense thriller ‘118’ alongside Anupama Parameswaran. With their intriguing concept art and trailers, both of these movies have generated a lot of talks, but have been facing issues related to their release dates.

A few producers in the Telugu Film Industry seem to be involved in power politics, which has resulted in a problematic atmosphere for most small-budget movies in the last few years. Despite being content-driven, movies like ‘Karthikeya 2’ have been facing release-related delays due to other movies.

Louis Tomlinson says One Direction’s first album was ‘s**t’

0

Singer Louis Tomlinson thinks One Direction’s first album was “s**t” as he reflected on the 12 years since he, Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, and Niall Horan were grouped together on the British TV talent show ‘The X Factor’ and said he doesn’t think their debut LP, ‘Up All Night, was any good.

Speaking on the ‘Smallzy’s Surgery’ podcast, he said: “Twelve years ago today the band got formed, but the first album was s**t anyway.”

Tomlinson is currently working on his second solo album and said he feels a lot of pressure to live up to the success of his former band, reports aceshowbiz.com.

He said: “There’s still pressure obviously for me to deliver a good record … and me trying to find my feet coming out of a band as big as One Direction.”

The ‘Back to You singer isn’t the only former member of the group to have criticized their music, as Zayn declared their records were “generic as f**k” in 2016, a year after he’d quit the band.

He previously said: “There was never any room for me to experiment creatively in the band. If I would sing a hook or a verse slightly R&B, or slightly myself, it would always be recorded 50 times until there was a straight version that was pop, generic as f**k, so they could use that version.

“Whenever I would suggest something, it was like it didn’t fit us. There was just a general conception that the management already had of what they want for the band, and I just wasn’t convinced with what we were selling.

“I wasn’t 100 percent behind the music. It wasn’t me. It was music that was already given to us, and we were told this is what is going to sell to these people.”

Usain Bolt’s startup with Indian firm’s investment stops operations in US

0

Mobility startup Bolt Mobility, co-founded by eight-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt, has abruptly disappeared from several of its markets in the US, leaving e-bikes and equipment abandoned amid unanswered calls, the media reported.

Bolt had raised $40.2 million, along with an undisclosed investment from Chennai-based Ram Charan Company in India in May this year.

According to a TechCrunch report, Bolt Mobility stopped operating in at least five US cities, including Portland, Oregon, Burlington, South Burlington, and Winooski in Vermont and Richmond, California.

“City representatives said they were unable to reach anyone at Bolt, including its CEO Ignacio Tzoumas,” the report said late on Sunday.

Portland suspended Bolt’s permit to operate there last month after the company failed to “provide the city with updated insurance and pay some outstanding fees”.

“All of our contacts at Bolt, including their CEO, have gone radio silent and have not replied to our emails,” Robert Goulding, public information manager at Burlington’s Department of Public Works, was quoted as saying.

Bolt had a presence in more than 50 markets across the US.

The investment from Ram Charan Company in May was set to be used to propel transportation sustainability efforts by bringing cutting-edge solid-state battery technology; energy-efficient, metal-like plastics made from recycled waste; and coilless electric motors to small and personal vehicles.

“Our partnership with Bolt Mobility, a brand with high standards in performance and sustainability, is an important step forward for Ram Charan and its group companies,” Kaushik Palicha, Director, Ram Charan, had said in a statement.

“We will support Bolt’s vision of ensuring sustainability throughout their entire value chain, from the quality of energy, quality of materials, and the reach of their mobility devices,” Palicha had said.

“I look forward to partnering with Ram Charan as we help usher in Transportation 2.0,” said Bolt CEO Tzoumas. “Together, we are helping create healthier, more livable cities of the future. a”

Bolt’s social media has now gone silent and hasn’t posted on Instagram since June 11 or on Twitter since June 2.

Mani Ratnam makes a two-part epic in 120 days.

0

Tamil actor Karthi, who plays the pivotal character of Vanthiya Devan in Mani Ratnam’s much-awaited magnum opus, ‘Ponniyin Selvan, says that the ace director has completed shooting both parts of the film in a matter of just 120 days.

Speaking at the launch of the first single, ‘Ponni Nadhi’, from the film, Karthi said the song is about a river. “All civilizations have started in rivers. Then, it was Ponni. Now, it is Cauvery. Every river has its own characteristics. Rivers have inspired poets. They have been a motivating force for even common people like us.

“When lots of people were saying that we cannot make a film on the scale of ‘Ponniyin Selvan’, we started. Then Covid struck. When we were perplexed, just like how a river knows to find its way to the sea, we knew Mani sir knew how to take this film to its logical end.

“We all went and stood with Mani sir and worked. In a matter of just 120 days, he completed both ‘Ponniyin Selvan 1’ and ‘Ponniyin Selvan 2’. It is not easy to make two films in 120 days.

“We would put our makeup on at 2-2.30 a.m. There would be 30 people waiting ready to put on makeup on us. Nobody would sleep. At 6.30 in the morning, we would take the first shot.

“Working on this film was like a dream. To make another film like this, a director would have to be born. Only Mani sir can do this.”

1st T20I: India thrash West Indies by 68 runs, take 1-0 lead in series

0

A clinical all-around performance helped India thrash West Indies by 68 runs in the first T20I and take a 1-0 lead in the five-match series at Brian Lara Stadium, here on Friday.

A brilliant half-century by captain Rohit Sharma (64 off 44) and a final flourish by Dinesh Karthik (41 not out off 19) propelled India to 190/6 in 20 overs, after they were invited to bat first. Apart from Rohit and Karthik, Suryakumar Yadav (24 off 16) was the other main contributor with the bat for India.

On the other hand, Alzarri Joseph (2/46), Jason Holder (1/50), Akeal Hosein (1/14), Keemo Paul (1/24), and Obed McCoy (1/30) were the wicket-takers for West Indies.

In reply, many West Indies batters Shamarh Brooks (20), Keemo Paul (19 not out), Nicholas Pooran (18), and others got starts but they failed to score big for their team.

Eventually, West Indies were restricted to 122-8 in 20 overs, losing by a huge margin.

Ravichandran Ashwin (2/22), Arshdeep Singh (2/24), and Ravi Bishnoi (2/26) were the most successful bowlers for India.

Brief scores: India 190/6 (Rohit 64, Karthik 41 not out; Alzarri Joseph 2/46 ) in 20 overs beat West Indies 122/8 in 20 overs (Shamarh Brooks 20; Ravichandran Ashwin 2/22, Arshdeep Singh 2/24) by 68 runs

Twitter may soon allow posting images, videos in one tweet

0

Twitter has confirmed that it is testing a new feature that will allow users to post images, videos, and GIFs in one multimedia tweet.

The company confirmed the test and said it is available to some users for a limited time, adding that accounts can add tags to both photos and videos in the tweet, reports TechCrunch.

“We are testing a new feature with select accounts for a limited time that will allow people to mix up to four media assets into a single tweet, regardless of format,” the microblogging site was quoted as saying in a statement.

While some users have tweeted about the feature, it is not clear what different media would look like in a single tweet.

“We are seeing people have more visual conversations on Twitter and are using images, GIFS, and videos to make these conversations more exciting,” the company said.

“With this test, we are hoping to learn how people combine these different media formats to express themselves more creatively on Twitter beyond 280 characters,” it added.

Recently, Twitter confirmed that it is testing a new status feature that lets users tag posts with pre-defined labels, much like the statuses that the previous Live Journal and MySpace systems permitted.

Some of these statuses include “Spoiler alert”, “Shower thoughts”, “Picture of the day” and for some reason, the very redundant “Current status”.

162 structures destroyed in California’s largest wildfire of 2022

0

At least 162 structures have been destroyed by an explosive wildfire near the Yosemite National Park in the US western state of California, authorities said.

The Oak Fire, ignited a week ago in central California’s Mariposa County, has rapidly grown to the largest wildfire so far this year in California. The fire burned over 19,200 acres (77.7 square km) with 45 percent containment as of Friday morning, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) on Friday.

More than 640 structures are under threat as nearly 3,800 firefighters, with aircraft support, are continuing their efforts against the blaze, Xinhua news agency reported.

“Fire crews, along with cooperating agencies, are working around the clock to repopulate the areas within the fire perimeter,” said Cal Fire in a release about the incident.

“Firefighters are building and improving direct fire line in extremely steep, rugged, and difficult to access terrain,” the agency added, noting that persistent drought, critically dry fuel, and tree mortality remain contributing factors to the fire spread.

California Governor Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency for Mariposa County on Saturday due to the effects of the fire.

The Oak Fire, which forced evacuations for thousands of people, was the third fast-moving wildfire to force evacuation in Mariposa County in two weeks.

Another ferocious wildfire, the Washburn Fire, burning a dozen miles east of the Oak Fire, has charred over 4,883 acres (19.76 square km) to date with 94 percent contained after more than three weeks near the Yosemite National Park.

The Washburn Fire has drawn national attention as firefighters were working on the blaze to protect some of the world’s oldest and largest trees in the park.

Tech giant Apple has announced that it now has over 860 million paid subscribers across all of its services, which include Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple News, iCloud, and more.

Luca Maestri, Chief Financial Officer at Apple, said that the company saw increased customer engagement with its Services during the quarter.

“We now have more than 860 million paid subscriptions across the services on our platform, which is up more than 160 million during the last 12 months alone,” he said during the June quarter earnings call with analysts.

The CFO mentioned that Services had a June quarter revenue record of $19.6 billion, up 12 percent despite almost 500 basis points of FX headwinds and impacts from our business in Russia and the macroeconomic environment.

“The record level of performance of our services portfolio during the June quarter reflects the strength of our ecosystem on many fronts: First, our installed base has continued to grow, reaching an all-time high across each geographic segment and major product category,” said Maestri.

“And finally, we continue to improve the breadth and the quality of our current Services offerings, from a constant flow of new content on Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade to great new features we recently announced for iCloud and Apple Music, which we believe our customers will love,” he added.

Meanwhile, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that in two and a half years since launch, Apple TV+ has now earned 250 wins and over 1,100 award nominations and counting.

0

Filmmaker duo Joe and Anthony Russo have made their choice for the new Captain Marvel and Thor from the Indian film industry.

The filmmaker duo chose their “good friend” Priyanka Chopra Jonas while they found it difficult to make a choice between Hrithik Roshan and Ranveer Singh for the demigod Thor.

The two were recently asked about who would they cast as the famous superheroes from the Indian film industry by social media influencer Awez Zaidi during the global premiere of “The Gray Man” in Mumbai.

The two were first shown pictures of Ranveer and Hrithik and were asked to pick one for Thor.

Anthony and Joe said that the two stars look like Thor but then settled for Ranveer.

They were then asked to choose between Priyanka and Deepika Padukone for a new Captain Marvel. The filmmakers chose Priyanka without a second thought.

In the clip, they are heard saying: “We have to pick Priyanka. We are huge fans and we are very good friends… We are working on a project. We are producing a show. A series.”

The Russo Brothers are producing the Indian actress’s upcoming series “Citadel”.

In Mohan Raja’s directorial ‘Godfather’, a fun dance number, featuring Salman Khan and Chiranjeevi is being filmed. Even more thrilling is the fact that India’s renowned choreographer Prabhu Deva has joined forces with the Salman-Chiranjeevi duo to compose the moves for the superstars.

A picture of Mohan Raja and Prabhu Deva, a choreographer-turned-director who is directing a song in the blockbuster film, was posted on Twitter by Mohan Raja. The director also disclosed that the song’s filming had only started a day before.

“Today is more special First time working with the legend and director of #Nuvvosthanantenenodhantana @PDdancing on the day of #16yearsofunakkumenakkum On the sets of #Godfather,” his tweet reads.

Music director Thaman is roped in to compose the music for the movie. Nayanthara is playing the leading lady in this movie, which also has Sunil, Satya Dev, Puri Jagannadh, and others in key roles. Produced by Konidela Production Company and Super Good Films.

For the unknown, ‘Godfather’ is the official remake of Mohan Lal- starrer ‘Lucifer’, a Malayalam movie.

Prabhas-starrer ‘Project K’ producer Ashwini Dutt refuses to toe Guild line

0

A recent meeting of the Active Telugu Film Producers’ Guild, which is led by star producer Dil Raju, decided to halt film production from August 1 until a solution is found. ‘Project K’ producer Ashwini Dutt, who has been reluctant to listen to the Dil Raju-led Producer’s Guild, has spoken on the same.

The majority of Telugu producers support Dil Raju regarding the shooting strike, but Ashwini Dutt has chosen to take a different route. Ashwini claimed recently in a media interview that Dil Raju is the one who perplexes audiences with his gimmicks. “He will first increase ticket prices before promoting the film at a reduced price”, Ashwini said.

“We won’t halt any filming, and our projects won’t follow Dil Raju’s regulations. We’ll keep shooting”, he continued. Ashwini is currently preoccupied with the ‘Project K’ production, one of the biggest Indian movies starring Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Amitabh Bachchan in the lead roles.

Ashwini Dutt had also spoken about ‘Project K’ on the occasion.
