Green Day hits back at Charli XCX’s ‘headliner’ claim with cheeky Coachella comeback

During the first weekend of Coachella 2025, Charli XCX drew attention beyond the stage when she showed up to an afterparty wearing a sash that said “Miss Should Have Been a Headliner.” The accessory quickly got people talking, with many seeing it as a subtle jab at Green Day, who headlined the Saturday night slot right after her set.

The pop star’s statement quickly caught attention online and fans were divided. Some saw it as a playful flex, others took it as shade aimed at the veteran rock band. Green Day, true to their punk roots, didn’t stay quiet for long. During their Weekend 2 performance, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong acknowledged the moment by donning a green “Brat” cap as a nod to Charli’s latest album of the same name. It was subtle, but unmistakably in on the joke.

Kamal Haasan’s ‘banana’ joke on Trisha sparks backlash, internet split over offensive humour

During a recent event for the upcoming film Thug Life, Kamal Haasan’s casual remark aimed at co-star Trisha Krishnan stirred more than just laughter. What was likely meant as a light-hearted moment has now triggered debate across social media, with opinions split on whether the joke crossed a line.

It happened during a promotional interview when Trisha was asked about her favourite food. She mentioned a boiled banana dish but struggled to recall its original name, ‘pazham pori’ or banana fritters. Kamal jumped in with a quip: “She doesn’t know the name but likes putting it in her mouth,” followed by a pat on her knee. Trisha laughed it off in the moment, but the clip quickly made its way online and not everyone was amused.

The new property, located on the luxurious St Regis Marsa Arabia Island at The Pearl in Doha, isn’t just about real estate for Saif but about finding a sense of calm and comfort after a turbulent start to the year.

At a recent press event hosted by the Alfardan Group, Saif opened up about what led to the purchase. While in Doha for work, he stayed at the property and found himself drawn to the overall experience. “It just felt right,” he said.
