Game of Thrones Stars Kit Harrington and Rose Leslie Wed

The couple, which met on the sets of HBO series Game of Thrones, tied the knot in Scotland on Saturday.

Game of Thrones stars Kit Harrington (Jon Snow) and Rose Leslie (Ygritte) tied the knot in Aberdeen, Scotland on Saturday. Their marriage ceremony was followed by a reception at Leslie’s ancestral castle.

Attending the marriage ceremony were Game of Thrones co-stars including Emilia Clarke, Maisie Williams, Sophie Turner and Peter Dinklage.

Leslie arrived at the church with her father Sebastian Leslie, wearing a long-sleeved gown detailed with ivory lace and a complementing veil. The groom, meanwhile, turned up wearing a morning suit and thanked fans who’d greeted outside the church with a smile before moving indoors.

Once the ceremony was over, the celebrations commenced at Wardhill Castle, a 900-year old castle owned by Leslie’s family in northeast Scotland.

It was in 2012 that Harrington and Leslie met on the set of the famous HBO Series, Game of Thrones.

Both of them played the roles of intimate lovers in the series as well, before the death of Leslie’s character Ygritte forced her out of the show.

Harrington, meanwhile, still plays the role of Jon Snow on the series whose final season will be aired next season.

Once it was confirmed last year that both of them are dating in real-life, Harrington, while speaking to L’Uomo Vogue, revealed that his favorite moments from Game of Thrones were those ones in season two where he had performed alongside Leslie.

“If you’re already attracted to someone, and then they play your love interest in the show, it becomes very easy to fall in love.”

Speaking to the media outside the family castle, Leslie’s father, Sebastian, told gathering reports he was “absolutely thrilled” about the wedding.

“It’s an absolutely lovely day for us,” he said.

In addition to starring Tom Holland, the 2019 sequel of Spider-Man features Jake Gyllenhaal as the villain Mysterio.

Most of us know that the upcoming sequel of Spider-Man will see Tom Holland swinging in places other than New York as well.

What Holland revealed today, however, was what we didn’t know in advance; that the name of the upcoming Spiderman movie will be “Far from Home”.

Holland chose his Instagram account to reveal the name of the upcoming, where he uploaded a short video which starts with him apologizing for the lack of news on the upcoming movie.

The “Far from Home” title of the upcoming movie confirms that the film’s setting will be away from Forest Hills, Queens.

If that happens, then the upcoming movie will be the first among the Spider-Man franchise which would be set outside New York.

Rumors abound that among the many destinations which are favorite to host the upcoming movie, London is on the top of the list.

Marvel Studios and Sony’s “Spider-Man: Far From Home” will hit worldwide cinemas on July 5, 2019.

Its timing suggests that “Far From Home” will follow “Avengers 4”, as the latter opens two months before, in May 2019.

Director Jon Watts, who is returning for the sequel, confirmed last year that the movie would see Spider-Man dealing with the fallout from Infinity War. Also featuring in the movie would be Joe Gyllenhaal in the character of villain Mysterio.

It was way back in 1964 that Mysterio became a member of the Spider-Man universe.

He is known to Marvel Comics’ fans as a bubble-headed villain who uses deception and illusion to defeat his opponents. And as you might guess, the main opponent of Mysterio is none other than Spider-Man himself.

Donald Trump Slams Jimmy Fallon, Asks Him to “Be A Man”

The US President was clearly not happy with the treatment meted to him by the late-night talk show host in a recent interview.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2DgwPG7mAA

In a late-night Twitter rant on Sunday, US President Donald Trump attacked late-night talk show host Jimmy Fallon after the comedian’s admission to ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ that he feels regret over tussling Mr. Trump’s hair in a pre-election interview.

Fallon further said that he was “devastated” by the “gang mentality” of his audience, as he lost more than a fifth of his audience after interviewing Mr. Trump.

In response, Mr. Trump tweeted: “@jimmyfallon is now whimpering to all that he did the famous ‘hair show’ with me (where he seriously messed up my hair), & that he would have now done it differently because it is said to have “humanized” me – he is taking heat.

“He called & said “monster ratings.” Be a man Jimmy!”

Following the criticism leveled at him by Mr. Trump, Fallon responded by saying he will be making a donation to the Refugee And Immigrant Centre For Education And Legal Services in the name of the president.

Mr. Fallon’s comments about his interview with Mr. Trump have come at a time when the President is under intense criticism regarding his administration’s immigration policy which separated children from their parents at the US border.

As for Mr. Fallon’s interview of the then-candidate Trump, the late-night talk show host has admitted that he made a mistake back then.

Also, according to Fallon, if he’s given the chance to interview Mr. Trump again, he would “do it differently”.

So vicious was the response to that interview that ever to this day, Fallon is falling behind Colbert into weekly ratings.

Many view it as a vindication of Colbert’s stance of attacking Trump administration’s questionable politics at a time when Fallon is light on politics.

‘Westworld’ Season 2 Finale Recap

‘Westworld’ Season 2 Finale Recap

Spoiler Alert: This article contains spoiler details about yesterday’s finale of the Season 2 of Westworld which aired on HBO.

Ever since the death of Dr. Robert Ford in the climactic episode of Season 1, we’re dealing with a robot apocalypse in Westworld.

Neither humans nor their hosts are spared as both of them become collateral damage. And whether Delos has succeeded – to some extent – to quell the uprising, her mission is far from finished.

Enter the final episode of Season 2, which gives us the impression that the robotic world is about to undergo a massive change under the tutelage of Dolores, Charlotte Hale, and Bernard.

If that wasn’t enough, the post-credits epilogue of the Season 2 finale raises several more doubts. We were left pondering as to whether Man in Black is actually human or not – and whether his real daughter Emily’s death was real or fake.

For, when he arrives at the park’s Forge nerve center, Man in Black finds himself in the same studio where James Delos, the park’s owner’s host, was tested. It was there that Emily, the daughter of Man in Black, questions his reality.

Giving his father a shock, Emily tells Man in Black that he wasn’t living in a simulation after all. This raises questions about whether Emily is human or not, though she was scanned as a human in ep. 19.

In between all this, Maeve leads the hosts to the Valley Bound in a style which we can argue is very Moses-like.

For, in a similar fashion, as heaven is described in Bible, there’s a bridge standing between the park and Valley Bound. Many are called but few are allowed the pass the pinhead needle gate of the bridge.

Among those making their way through are Ghost Nation warrior Akecheta as well as the daughter of Maeve. The bridge finally closes and the whole Westworld is inundated by Dolores.

At the same time, Bernard shoots Dolores before he flees the park by boat, though not before convincing robo-Charlotte to fire at the real Hale.

Finally, in the last few scenes of the finale, robo-Charlotte appears with Bernard and Dolores in the former’s opulent home which sits next to the Central Park of the city.

Therefore, just like the finale of Season 1, the Season 2’s finale of Westworld was a mix of drama, confusion, and lots of fighting. What happens next, in Season 3, is anybody’s guess.

Peter Fonda Apologizes For Vulgar Remarks About Barron Trump

The apology has come after the White House announced that it reported Peter Fonda’s tweet on Barron Trump to the US Secret Service.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=edUTuTNIWpU

Peter Fonda has apologized for his late-night Twitter rant in which he suggested that President Trump’s son Barron should be ripped from “his mother’s arms and put in a cage with pedophiles.”

The tweet, which contained all-capital letters, also called President Trump with an expletive name. It was later deleted after the actor drew sharp rebukes from Donald Trump Jr. and first lady Melania Trump.

The White House also got in on the act as it notified the Secret Service of a threat leveled by the actor towards the President’s son. The notification which White House sent to the Secret Service called Fonda’s remarks “sick and irresponsible.”

The entire brouhaha surrounding Fonda’s tweet came after the two-time Oscar nominee criticized the Trump administration’s policy of separating immigration children from their families at the US-Mexico border.

President Trump told reporters yesterday that he is going to sign an executive order which would temporarily halt his administration’s infamous immigration policy. Still, a longer-term fix which has to be meted out by the Congress remains in doubt.

Before his over-the-top criticism of the policy, Fonda has accused White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders of being a liar. He has gone as far as to suggest in a tweet that her children should be taken from her, and she be deported to Arkansas.

That tweet no longer exists on Fonda’s Twitter page.

Although he is the latest celebrity to face the scrutiny of Secret Service over his criticism of the president, Fonda isn’t the first one. Kathy Griffin faced a similar situation last year when her lawyers said that she was being investigated for posing with what looked to be a decapitated head of the president.

Terminator 6: Everything We Know So Far

The next episode of the ‘Terminator’ series sees the return of Linda Hamilton who has been absent from the Terminator franchise since ‘T2: Judgement Day’.

If you think that history is repeating itself with the reboot of ‘Terminator’, you’re probably right.

Linda Hamilton, who wasn’t seen in any ‘Terminator’ movie since ‘T2: Judgement Day’, is set to return for ‘Terminator 6’, as you can see in her image posted above.

The 61-year-old, who is set to play the character of Sarah Connor, was spotted by cameras in Madrid, Spain on Thursday. She was seen holding a futuristic-looking gun with a seemingly bullet-proof vest around her stomach.

Mackenzie Davis (‘’Halt and Catch Fire’’, ‘’Blade Runner 2049”) leads the upcoming movie, with Arnold Schwarzenegger returning alongside Linda Hamilton.

The redo also features Diego Boneta (“Scream Queens”), Natalie Reyes (“Lady”), and Gabriel Luna from Marvel’s ‘’Agents of Shield’’.

Apart from starting a new trilogy of films, the “Terminator 6” is set to be a sequel to “Terminator 2: Judgement Day’’. That means it would ignore Terminator Genisys, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, and Terminator: Salvation.

Turning our action back to Linda, and it is clear that she has been hitting the gym. For, not only does she have a flat tummy, but both her lean legs and sculpted arms are toned as well.

She was wearing a simple grey T-shirt under her vest and had black military boots to show that she was ready for some action.

It was in the very first Terminator movie in 1984 that Hamilton made her appearance. While she also played a major part in the 1991’s Terminator 2: Judgement Day, her role was limited to voice work in the 2009’s Terminator Salvation.

Deadpool’s Tom Miller is going to direct this Terminator movie, with the previous director James Cameron now serving as a producer.

Jason Momoa’s Comic Timing Makes Couple’s Picture Memorable

It seems from his comments that the wit of the Aquaman is as impressive as his physical power.

In case you think that Jason Momoa is just a pretty face, the Aquaman has got a great sense of humor too.

Have doubts? Look no further than the photo which he had with a married couple at the Denver Comic Con last week.

The photo, which has now gone viral, was posted on Reddit by a user named twoforjoy over the weekend. It shows her posing with the 38-year-old “Aquaman” star, with her husband standing some distance away from her, and Momoa’s hand smashing his face.

That wasn’t however, the best part about the photo. After it was printed, the couple asked Momoa to ink his signature over it. Momoa did the same, albeit, it was right over her husband’s face where Momoa left his signature.

Liz, the women who could be seen in the photo, told Huffington Post that she wanted a photo alone with Momoa, who also played Khal Drogo on “Game of Thrones”.

“I wouldn’t say that I have a crush on him,” she told HuffPost. “He’s just an extremely attractive human being — as pretty much anyone with working eyeballs can objectively agree.”

Her husband, who had accompanied her to the Comic-Con festival, knew about the wish of his wife. Still, since they had spent close to $100 to have a photo with Momoa, the couple decided to improvise.

Therefore, at the last moment, they asked Momoa whether he’d do a classic prom photo pose with Liz, while her husband stood “Photoshopping distance away” according to Liz.

“‘Hell yeah!’ was [Momoa’s] immediate response,” told Liz.

Still, it wasn’t until the printout of the photo came out that the couple noticed about Momoa’s epic face smash. Afterward, they both decided that the photo won’t be complete until they get it autographed by the “Aquaman” star.

To which Jason didn’t object as he gleefully left his signature over Liz’s husband’s face, though at the request of Liz’s husband.

The MoviePass Effect Is Here To Stay

The MoviePass Effect Is Here To Stay

The culture of subscription-based movie streaming sites is gaining momentum in Hollywood, and it has the potential to change the entertainment industry forever.

The entertainment industry is experiencing a major upheaval.

If you don’t believe in the veracity of this statement, the latest evidence – an announcement by AMC in which it unveiled its decision to launch its own subscription-based program – should convince you otherwise.

Dubbed A-list, AMC’s subscription-based program is a nod to the new realities of Hollywood, one in which cinemagoers want more value than entertainment from their night out.

What it also suggests is that Netflix has changed the entertainment industry, though it isn’t clear for now whether it’s for good or worse. Today’s movie lovers aren’t fond of spending as much as $20 to watch a single movie, what they look forward to is paying for monthly content packages.

The recent move by AMC is a break-away from the past moves of movie theatres when they increased prices and added more amenities to paper over reducing audience numbers. Ticket prices have seen a 50% rise since 2002, though ticket sales have nosedived by 20%.

In case you’re wondering, it is the younger generation – the one that makes the biggest chunk of Netflix subscribers – that is moving away from the theatres.

In response, theater giants such as Regal and AMC talked about the premium experience they offer to cinemagoers. Old seating has now been replaced, with plush recliners taking their place. Beer and wine have been added to cinema menus, with IMAX and 3D also gaining momentum.

However, at a time of rising inequality, stagnating wage bills, and crushing student loans, moviegoers do not want those amenities. What they want, put simply, is a deal. That demand for a deal was one of the reasons why MoviePass, an upstart company which offers a movie-a-day for less than $10 a month, now has three million subscribers.

AMC’s recent announcement, therefore, should be seen as a push by the theatre-giant to rival the domination of MoviePass. However, while you can be a subscriber to MoviePass at less than $10 a month, AMC would require you to pay $19.99 for its monthly subscription package.

The added cost, however, isn’t without any benefits. While MoviePass lets you see a movie a day in most movie theatres, you only get to see it in 2D with the requirement that tickets be purchased closed to show times.

In contrast, AMC will give its subscribers the option to watch three movies every week in IMAX and 3D, premium formats which MoviePass doesn’t provide. What’s more, it also gives you the option to reserve seats in advance.

So, what will be the effect of services like AMC and MoviePass on the studios? To be honest, they won’t take a financial hit. All they want is money, and they could care less whether you’ve purchased your ticket from a subscription service or on a la carte.

However, the same cannot be said for both AMC and MoviePass, two services that are likely to take a hit. MoviePass is already suffering huge losses and AMC’s CEO Adam Aron is adamant his company will take a $10 to $15 million hit over the next two quarters.

Still, while AMC – thanks to its bigger pockets – could withstand the financial hit, the same couldn’t be said about the upstart MoviePass.

England 2-1 Tunisia: 5 Talking Points Following Harry Kane’s Winner

Despite enjoying long spells of domination in the first half, the Three Lions had to rely on a last-gasp Harry Kane strike to clinch all three favorites.

It all came down to a glancing header. Despite all the chances they created in the first half – and they created lots of them – it was a Harry Kane header which gave England the victory it deserved against a resolute Tunisia side.

The Three Lions dominated the game for long spells but their profligacy in front of goal ensured to take much credit away from an otherwise excellent performance by the 1966 World Cup champions.

Here are the 5 talking points from the game …

1- Harry Kane the Star Performer

https://twitter.com/GNev2/status/1008963224136503297

Coming into the World Cup, Harry Kane had taken offense with the criticism leveled at him by sections of English media. However, as his performance here showed, the English captain was totally unfazed by the criticism.

Two goals, the first of which was a tap-in with the other a winner, made sure Harry Kane silenced all his critics in brilliant fashion.

Therefore, while he is not yet in the league of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, the Tottenham forward could become as important to his team as both these superstars.

2- The Hard Way For England

Although England fans weren’t expecting it any other way – as they are all too aware of the recent failings in big competitions of their team – the way England outplayed Tunisia in the opening spells of the game suggested that this could be an easy night for the Three Lions.

However, thanks to their wastefulness in front of goals and some questionable refereeing, England once again followed the hard way to get three points.

3- Jordan Henderson Was Brilliant

It wasn’t as if Henderson had a point to prove in this game. After all, it was only a month ago that his captained Liverpool side reached the UEFA Champions League final. Still, to silence the pockets of fans who still doubt his ability, the Liverpool skipper showed his class yet again today.

He was commanding on the ball, industrious with it, with some of his cross-field passes absolutely sublime. Gone now are the sideways passes which earned him the ridicule of fans in the yesteryears. Now, Henderson knows how to propel his team forward. And in an English side which lacks big names on its team sheet, Henderson could become one come July.

4- Kyle Walker Can Play Better

With England cruising and looking as if they would put the game to bed even before halftime, it was a moment of madness from Kyle Walker on the 33rd-minute mark which got Tunisia back into the game. His needless swing of an elbow to block Ben Yousseff gave Tunisia the penalty they ill-deserved, which the North-African side slotted him to get on level terms.

Still, since these are early days in the World Cup, Kyle Walker would get the chance to display his true importance to the English side. Otherwise, provided he doesn’t, the prodigious Trent Arnold is waiting in the wings for his chance.

5- Lingard Should Justify His Inclusion Vs Panama

If you are the reason that Jamie Vardy and Marcus Rashford are on the bench then you ought to play much better than Jesse Lingard against Tunisia. And it isn’t as if he doesn’t know how to grasp the big occasion, as Lingard has shown with his goals for Manchester United in cup finals.

Here in Russia, however, how final touch betrayed him. Right from the second minute, when he allowed the Tunisian keeper to save with his legs, Lingard’s ice-cold composure was nowhere to be seen. Still, just like Walker, Lingard could make sure to justify his inclusion against Panama this coming Sunday.

Netflix Picks Up “Lucifer” After Fox Cancellation, Episode Count Revealed

Netflix’s decision to pick-up “Lucifer” took the fans of the supernatural TV drama by a pleasant surprise who were earlier mourning its cancellation by Fox.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQ4tKwQrl5I

Over the past couple of weeks, the TV world experienced a bloodbath as numerous long-running fan-favorite TV drams were canceled by networks, including “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Marvel’s Inhumans,” “The X-Files,” “The Expanse,” and numerous others.

Since then, fans have launched various campaigns to save their favorite TV shows. Some of those campaigns have yielded positive results, as both the “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “The Expanse” have been rescued.

Enter Fox’s “Lucifer,” whose name can now officially be added to the saved list.

Fox unveiled its decision to cancel “Lucifer” at the start of May and after running it for three seasons. The supernatural drama has now been picked up by Netflix, with the streaming giant ready to stream its fourth season to the viewers.

Ever since its cancellation, “Lucifer” was in contact with numerous streaming outlets to keep the series going, before eventually arriving at Netflix.

It has also been revealed that Amazon Studios were also initially interested in picking up the series, though eventually Netflix swooped in and won the day.

“Lucifer” reveals around the life of Devil (Tom Ellis) who vacated Hell to run a nightclub in Los Angeles, where the LAPD hires him as a consultant to solve crimes.

Although it received mixed reviews in its debut season in 2016, the 2nd and 3rd seasons saw its popularity rising.

Details have emerged that the 4th season will consist of ten brand-new episodes, plus the two additional “bonus” episodes which would run for the same length of time as the original episodes. The 3rd season, meanwhile, consisted of 22 episodes.

Netflix’s decision to jump in and save “Lucifer” follows the longstanding tradition of the streaming giant to give a new life to fan-favorites. It has saved numerous shows, like “Longmire” and “Arrested Development” in the past.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z drop surprise Joint Album “Everything Is Love”

Justifying their reputation of dropping a new album without much fanfare, Beyoncé and Jay-Z have dropped a surprised joint album “Everything is Love”.

While most singers drop choreographed hints about their upcoming album weeks before the planned release as a promotion strategy, both Beyoncé and Jay-Z prefer to do the same with as little fanfare as possible.

The Carters did the same once again on Saturday as they released their most recent collaboration – “Everything is Love” – following a London concert. The release of the long-rumored album has sent the fans of the couple into an expected frenzy.

Available initially only on Tidal – a streaming service owned in part by Beyoncé and Jay-Z – “Everything Is Love” is a nine-track album which was released around 5:30 p.m. on Saturday.

It is the first full-length album released by the couple after years of shared touring, musical collaborations, marriage, and parenthood. Apart from the nine songs, a bonus track titled “Salud!” is also available on the Tidal streaming service.

The news that they have released a new album was first posted by Beyoncé on her Instagram and Twitter accounts. Afterward, as the couple’s show at the London Stadium concluded, a large neon signed announced: “ALBUM OUT NOW”

https://www.instagram.com/p/BkGcY6kFxk8/?hl=en

Apart from including “Apes**t”, a song which is supplemented with a video, “Everything Is Love” includes songs called “Heard About Us”, “Friends”, and “Boss”.

The album’s closing track, titled “Lovehappy,” sees Jay-Z declaring, “We broke up and got back together.” Beyoncé chimes in, “We came and we conquered/now we’re happy in love.”

In addition to surprising their fans with the release of their new album, Beyoncé and Jay-Z might also have caught major streaming services, like Spotify, off guard.

For, as of the start of 2017, Spotify hosts none of Jay-Z’s major albums. And while it got most of Beyoncé’s “Lemonade”, no song of “Everything Is Love” is currently on Spotify.

Both Beyoncé and Jay-Z are currently on a joint stadium tour, “On the Run II,’’ which took them to London on Saturday. The tour is the sequel to the couple’s 2014 pairing and would kick start in the United States in July.

John Oliver Rebukes Trump Over His Administration’s Border Child Separation Policy

The host of “Last Week Tonight” kicked off the weekly show with a blistering rebuke of Trump administration’s Immigration Strategy which separates children from parents.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVmfqHSfa_8

John Oliver started “Last Week Tonight” by discussing the previous week for President Trump that included the president meeting with what Oliver called “Cutie Patootie” Kim Jong Un.

Responding to the President’s tweet in which he said that there is “no longer a nuclear threat from North Korea”, Oliver couldn’t help but compare the president to Grim Reaper.

“Donald Trump telling me I can sleep well tonight is like the Grim Reaper telling me to Have a Happy Birthday,” Oliver said. “His presence is the reason I will not.”

The “deal” which President Donald Trump managed to strike with the North Korean leader was pretty underwhelming, to say the least.

Even though the American president announced to end America’s military drills with South Korea, the North Korean leader wasn’t so forthcoming regarding the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

Responding to the same, Oliver noted that it is Trump’s strength to deliver something that isn’t actually good as great. He further called the deal as an “ice cream blow job.”

One thing which surprised neutral observers was the way the American president defended Kim Jong Un in the wake of the summit. He called Kim a “great negotiator” who is “very smart”, “a funny guy” and a “great personality”.

“I’m not going to say that part of Trump’s admiration for Kim is that he wishes he could be a dictator,” Oliver explained. “I’m going to let him say that.”

Oliver then played a line from Trump’s recent interview with “Fox & Friends” in which the President called Kim a “strong head” of North Korea. He also spoke with admiration as to how people of North Korea “sit up at attention” when Kim speaks, before expressing his wish of American people “doing the same”.

Or, as Oliver put it, “ The President of the United States expressed the wish the people of the United States would model themselves after the malnourished population of North Korea.”

“It’s clear that the president wishes he were a dictator, which is a dire realization, right up there with ‘The robots have become sentient,’ or ‘the cat has power of attorney.’ How the fuck did we get here?”

The host of “Last Week Tonight” then turned his attention to the growing outrage which follows Trump administration’s strategy to separate children from parents. Although the president wants to blame the Democrats for the law, Oliver was having none of that.

Cue Oliver: “Democrats did not give them these laws, because—and I cannot stress this enough—there is no law that suddenly required separating parents from their children. This is a result of a deliberate policy choice by Jeff Sessions.”

Donald Trump Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize following North Korea Summit

Donald Trump Nominated for Nobel Peace Prize following North Korea Summit

The US president has been nominated for the ultimate peace prize by a group of Norwegian politicians following the groundbreaking North Korea summit.

A group of Norwegian politicians has nominated the US President for the Nobel Peace Prize after Donald Trump held talks with Kim Jong Un in the North Korea summit.

The nomination has come from at least two members of the Norway’s Progress Party, which is generally considered left of center and is the third largest party in the Scandinavian country.

“What’s going on now is historic,” Progress Party member Per-Willy Amundsen told NRK. “A process is underway to ensure world peace in the future. It’s a fragile process, but we must, of course, do what we can to help this process bring good results.

Though the nomination has now been made, it missed this year’s deadline for the ultimate peace prize. So Mr. Trump would have to wait for until next year to be officially nominated for the award.

The Nobel Peace Prize – which was also awarded to Mr. Trump’s predecessor Barrack Obama – is considered one of the most iconic honors in the world. It is open to academics, leaders, and researches, with the scope of the nomination so broad that a record 330 people were nominated for the 2018 prize.

Mr. Trump isn’t the only world leader who has ever been nominated for the prize. For, in the past, Cuban leader Fidel Castro, as well as Russian President Vladimir Putin, were also nominated for the same, though none of them was able to clinch it.

Should Mr. Trump wins the award, he would join his immediate predecessor Barrack Obama in the list of US presidents who have received the honor.

The US President was in Singapore this week where he met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and thereby becoming the first sitting US President to meet with Mr. Kim. After a day of negotiations, the two countries parted way amid hopes of protracted negotiations in the coming months.

Zidane Discusses the roles of Ronaldo and Ramos in his decision to leave Real Madrid

The former French World Cup winner left the Spanish giants after winning three successive UEFA Champions League titles with the club.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rcwau9P14p4

Former Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has refused to blame the unhappiness expressed by Cristiano Ronaldo to play any part in his decision to leave Real Madrid after three highly successful seasons at the club.

Zidane announced his decision to leave Real Madrid just five days after winning his third straight Champions League title, leaving the fans to ponder over what may have forced him to leave Los Blancos.

During his final press conference at the club, Zidane was asked by media whether Ronaldo’s unhappiness played any part in his decision, but he refuted the notion altogether.

“I had the respect of all, above all the players, which has been fundamental in achieving things,” Zidane said. “The players have nothing to do with my decision, it is about what I think.”

Zidane also told the press that before making his decision to leave the club, he had spoken to the club captain Sergio Ramos.

“I’ve sent a message to all the squad and I’ve spoken to Sergio Ramos.

“As always as a person and captain, we have lived a lot together, he respects my decision. He wished me luck.

Apart from revealing that he had previously spoken to Ramos, Zidane was also effusive in his praise for the 32-year-old.

“He is a leader, a captain and it has been a pleasure to share three more years with him.”

World Cup 2018: Russian MP Fires Bizarre Sex Warning to Local Women

The MP, who is known for her criticism of the #MeToo movement, has now advised Russian women to ‘’give birth to our own children’’.

A lawmaker who heads the Russian parliament’s family committee has advised local women to refrain from sleeping with visiting World Cup fans, lest they want to become single mothers of mixed-race children.

Tamara Pletnyova, a 70-year-old lawmaker who chairs the lower house’s family, women and children body, fired the warning to her fellow Russian women while speaking to the Govorit Moskva radio.

“I hope they get something clear in their heads regarding foreigners. Will there still be girls who will date foreigners and then have children from them? Perhaps there will be some, but I am hoping not.’

Pletnyova warned local women that they should learn lessons from the USSR era when some of their predecessors became pregnant after having relationships with foreigners at the 1980’ Moscow Olympics.

The interviewer then asked Pletnyova whether the world cup could see a spike in Russia’s flailing birth rate – a major goal for President Putin – to which she replied: ‘We should be giving birth to our own children.’

‘It’s the children who suffer… and have suffered since the Soviet era. It’s lucky if they’re the same race (as the mother) but if they’re of another race, it’s worse,’ the politician said.

She further said that even if the men decide to marry the mother of their progeny, they take both of them away from Russia, with the result that the women don’t know how to get back.

‘Then they come to see me at parliament and cry that their children were taken away, snatched from them.’ As a result, she further claimed, both the members of the couple should ‘’be citizens of Russia’’.

It isn’t the first time that the Russian lawmaker has been making the news with her remarks. Previously, she irked the liberal world with her criticism of the #MeToo movement.

‘We’re not in America or Europe. Why should we copy everything?” she had then told Gazeta.ru site, before adding: “If a woman doesn’t want it, no one is going to harass her,’

She has been serving as a lawmaker in the Russian parliament ever since 1993 when the first post-Soviet parliament was formed.

Kesha accused Dr. Luke of raping Katy Perry in a text conversation with Lady Gaga, a defamation lawsuit filed by Dr. Luke – whose real name is Gottwald – claims.

The text conversation in which Kesha accused Dr. Luke of raping Katy Perry took place in February 2016 has now been subpoenaed as a part of $50 million defamation lawsuit Dr. Luke filed against Kesha. He filed the suit in response to Kesha’s claims of emotional, physical, and verbal abuse.

Though the contents of the conversation were initially sealed, the legal papers Dr. Luke’s lawyers filed in New York last May claimed Kesha informing Lady Gaga that the producer raped Katy Perry. Perry has worked with Dr. Luke on various songs like “Roar”, “I Kissed a Girl” and “Teenage Dream”.

“In this text message, [Kesha] also falsely asserted that Gottwald had also raped Kathryn Hudson a/k/a Katy Perry,” the documents stated.

“Following this text message conversation, and with [Kesha’s] encouragement, Ms. Germanotta spread negative messages about Gottwald in the press and on social media.’’

The lawsuit further revealed that both Gaga and Perry had been deposed as a part of the countersuit, though what Katy Perry told the court wasn’t revealed. Also, the exact messages which Gaga and Kesha sent to each other in that conversation weren’t disclosed.

Dr. Luke Vs. Kesha – A History of Legal battle

It was in October 2014 that Kesha filed a lawsuit against Dr. Luke, for allegedly drugging, emotionally abusing and raping her for a decade. The singer further alleged in the suit that she only suffered because Dr. Luke threatened to destroy her career and her family if she opened her mouth.

In response, Dr. Luke tweeted that Kesha was like ‘’my little sister’’, whereas his lawyer claimed that the allegations were leveled to ‘’extort money and gain contractual leverage’’.

The court, however, rejected Kesha’s claims of gender violence and sexual assault against Dr. Luke, declaring they were too weak, too old, or didn’t take place within its jurisdiction.

Dr. Luke then filed a $50 million defamation lawsuit against Kesha for accusing him for the implication of raping Lady Gaga. The team of Lady Gaga denied any such incident.
