Scarlett Johansson slams viral AI deepfake: Calls for urgent action against AI misinformation

The video, widely circulated on social media, features AI-generated versions of Johansson, David Schwimmer, Jerry Seinfeld, and other stars wearing T-shirts with a Star of David and a middle finger gesture above the word "Kanye." The clip ends with a call to "Join the Fight Against Antisemitism."

Diddy sues NBCUniversal for $100M over explosive documentary allegations

Sean "Diddy" Combs has taken legal action against NBCUniversal, its streaming platform Peacock, and production company Ample Entertainment, seeking $100 million in damages over the documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy. The lawsuit, filed in a New York court, claims the documentary falsely portrays him as a criminal, making baseless accusations about his involvement in sex trafficking, abuse, and even murder.

The lawsuit alleges that the documentary advances wild conspiracy theories, linking Combs to the deaths of his former partner Kim Porter, rapper Christopher "The Notorious B.I.G." Wallace, and others. According to Combs' legal team, the film deliberately presents him as a "monster" and compares him to figures like Jeffrey Epstein, despite a lack of credible evidence.

Kanye West tricked agency to run Super Bowl ad promoting swastika shirt, sparks massive backlash

Kanye West, now known as Ye, is once again facing backlash after reportedly deceiving an advertising agency to air a Super Bowl commercial that ultimately promoted antisemitic merchandise.

The 15-second regional ad, which aired in select markets, initially appeared to be a harmless clip of Ye sitting in a dentist’s chair, directing viewers to his Yeezy.com website. However, shortly after the ad aired, the website was altered to display a swastika-emblazoned T-shirt, sparking immediate outrage.

Kim Kardashian’s wedding dress moment goes viral: Hollywood’s new leading lady?

Kim Kardashian is back in a wedding dress, but this time, it’s strictly for the cameras. The 44-year-old reality star and entrepreneur was recently spotted filming a wedding sequence for All’s Fair, an upcoming legal drama from acclaimed producer Ryan Murphy.

Dressed in a strappy white gown and flowing veil, Kim was seen holding hands with co-star Matthew Noszka on a Malibu beach. The scene even included a dramatic kiss, with Noszka all suited up in pastel blue dipping her for the moment. While the images set social media abuzz, this isn’t the start of a new marriage for Kim—it’s just part of her latest acting role.



This marks Kim’s second collaboration with Murphy after her role in American Horror Story: Delicate. Over the years, she has taken on smaller acting roles, including film cameos and voice work. However, All’s Fair signals a bigger step into scripted television, featuring an all-star cast that includes Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, and Sarah Paulson. The series reportedly centres on an all-female team of divorce lawyers in Los Angeles, with Kim not only acting but also serving as an executive producer alongside her mother, Kris Jenner.
