Guillermo del Toro Slams AI While Accepting Vanguard Tribute Award for Frankenstein

Guillermo del Toro never misses when it comes to passion, honesty and pure artistic conviction, and he proved it again at the Gotham Awards. While accepting the Vanguard Tribute Award for his upcoming film Frankenstein, the filmmaker used the stage to send a very clear message about the future of cinema and the role of real artists in it.

He described Frankenstein as a film built entirely by humans, for humans, made with intention, craft and emotion. And then he dropped the line that instantly went viral across film circles and social media. He said, this film was willfully made for humans by humans . F*ck AI.

It was not subtle. It was not diplomatic. It was Guillermo del Toro doing exactly what he does best, defending art with his full chest. In an industry drowning in AI debates, mass generated content and fears about creativity being replaced by code, his statement hit like a lightning bolt.

Del Toro has always been vocal about protecting the human soul of filmmaking, but calling out AI so directly at a major awards event has already sparked a new wave of conversation. Fans, filmmakers and writers are celebrating him online, saying he spoke for every artist who feels threatened by studios prioritising algorithms over actual storytelling.

But beyond the headline moment, what stood out was how deeply personal this project clearly is to him. Frankenstein is not just another retelling. It is del Toro’s long dreamed creation finally taking shape, filled with human hands, human flaws, human imagination and human emotion. His message was a reminder. Art is not supposed to be perfect or programmed. It is supposed to be lived, flawed and made by people who feel something.

And in a time where AI is creeping into scripts, visuals and even performances, he made one thing very clear. He is not here to let machines take over. He is here to defend cinema, the artists behind it and the humanity that makes films matter in the first place.

It was loud. It was raw. And it was Guillermo del Toro at his absolute best.

Dave Coulier Reveals He Is Battling Tongue Cancer After Surviving Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Dave Coulier, best known and loved for his role as Joey Gladstone on Full House, has revealed that he is now battling tongue cancer. The news has come as a shock for fans, especially since the actor previously fought and survived non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Coulier opened up about his diagnosis to raise awareness about early detection and regular checkups, something he credits for catching his cancer in time.

According to reports, doctors discovered the cancer during a routine examination. Coulier explained that he initially ignored some early symptoms, assuming they were minor or temporary, but a medical checkup confirmed that it was far more serious than he realised. While he did not share the exact stage of the cancer, he emphasised that he is undergoing treatment and staying positive, supported by his family and close friends.

This is not his first health battle. Years ago, Coulier successfully beat non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a form of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. Surviving a life-threatening condition once already, he says he understands the emotional and physical toll that comes with such diagnoses, but also knows the importance of resilience and mental strength.

Fans and colleagues from the Full House family have already begun sending him supportive messages. Dave has always been remembered for his warm energy, humour and kindness on and off screen, and many have expressed hope and confidence that he will overcome this new challenge too.

Coulier also urged people not to ignore changes in their body, especially symptoms involving the mouth, throat or neck. Tongue cancer often goes unnoticed until it becomes advanced, making early medical attention extremely important.

For now, Dave Coulier is focusing on treatment, recovery and spreading awareness. His message remains simple and powerful: health should never be taken lightly, even when life feels normal and stable.

Sabrina Carpenter Calls Out the White House for Using Her Song Without Permission

Sabrina Carpenter Calls Out the White House for Using Her Song Without Permission

Sabrina Carpenter is not staying silent. The singer has publicly slammed the White House after discovering that her hit song Juno was used in a pro-ICE promotional video without her consent. And she did not soften her words.

In a sharp statement shared across her social media, Sabrina called the move evil and disgusting. She made it very clear that she does not want her music, likeness or brand involved in anything that supports inhumane policies. Fans quickly recognised that she was referring to the administration’s pro-ICE messaging, which used Juno in the background to create a light, upbeat tone for a video that was anything but light.

Sabrina’s frustration is rooted in something deeper. Artists often fight long battles to maintain control over how their music is used, especially in political contexts. For Sabrina, whose fanbase spans young audiences, migrants, LGBTQ+ communities and people who are directly harmed by strict immigration frameworks, seeing her song attached to a message she fundamentally disagrees with felt like a violation.

Her response also highlights a growing issue within the entertainment industry. Many governments and political organisations around the world continue to use popular songs without permission, hoping the artists will never notice. But when they do notice, the reaction is usually strong and immediate, exactly like Sabrina’s.

Fans online have been rallying behind her, posting thousands of comments supporting her right to control her work and calling out the irony of using a pop hit to soften the optics of an extremely serious issue. Some went as far as demanding accountability from the team responsible for clearing the music, while others praised Sabrina for speaking up instead of ignoring it for the sake of avoiding controversy.

As of now, the White House has not commented on the situation or removed the video. But Sabrina’s message was loud: do not ever involve her music in agendas she finds harmful or inhumane. And with the momentum her career has right now, her voice carries weight.

Mother Mary Trailer Unveils Anne Hathaway’s Intense Performance!

The official trailer for Mother Mary introduces Anne Hathaway as a global pop icon in the midst of an existential crisis. In the film, Hathaway’s character unexpectedly terminates her tour and reunites with Sam, her long-lost friend and fashion designer who originally molded her public image. From the looks of it, there is emotional turbulence, reinvention of artistry, and a relationship that is riddled with unresolved tension. With its striking visuals, haunting original music, and symbolic imagery, this narrative suggests one that is far from your average celebrity comeback, delving into the darker, psychological, and perhaps even supernatural undercurrents.

Hathaway plays Mother Mary, a musical icon who, after having walked away from her tour, stands facing disillusionment. She reconnects with Sam, played by Michaela Coel, whose creative vision helped define her superstar image. Their reunion dredges up long-buried conflicts, intertwining personal grief and the pressures of artistic reinvention. The film positions Hathaway’s character as a figure wrestling with existential dread, self-discovery, and the cost of fame.

The supporting cast of the film features Hunter Schafer, Atheena Frizzell, Kaia Gerber, Jessica Brown Findlay, Alba Baptista, and Sian Clifford, with FKA Twigs contributing on the music side. The original soundtrack is comprised of songs from modern-day artists, while Daniel Hart did the scoring and Jack Antonoff and Charli XCX produced original tracks, making the musical landscape rich and immersive.

Hathaway said in interviews the role called for total vulnerability, as it demanded she “shed things that were hard to shed” and embrace the discomfort of being a beginner again. Coel says Hathaway threw herself into the work-an emotional and physical endurance she says the actress had to draw upon during some key scenes.

Coming this April 2026, Mother Mary is a psychological and emotional drama of identity, rivalry, and reinvention. From the trailer, it is clear that the movie is an intense, character-driven tale with haunting visuals and music that promises one of the most daunting and impressive pairings of Hathaway and Coel on screen. It is among four 2026 films starring Hathaway, alongside The Devil Wears Prada 2, The Odyssey, and Verity.

Dharmendra’s Family Pays Tribute: Bobby Deol and Sunny Deol Immerse Ashes

The ashes of veteran actor Dharmendra were immersed in the Ganges at Har Ki Pauri in Haridwar on Wednesday, in a private ritual carried out by his sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, along with grandson Karan Deol. A video from the ghat showed family members performing the rites quietly, in accordance with earlier reports that the ceremony would be kept confidential.

According to sources, the Deol family arrived in Haridwar on Tuesday. A video from the evening showed Sunny Deol at a hotel, having tea on a balcony ahead of the scheduled immersion. On Wednesday morning, the family proceeded to the ghat, where the ritual took place under strict privacy.

One viral clip from the ceremony shows a man, believed to be Bobby Deol, breaking down emotionally at the site. He is seen hugging Karan Deol and other relatives before the family leaves the ghat after completing the immersion. The Deols are expected to return to Mumbai via Jolly Grant Airport.

Dharmendra passed away on November 24 at the age of 89, just days before his 90th birthday. The actor had been hospitalised for over a month at Mumbai’s Breach Candy Hospital due to serious health complications. Although he was discharged shortly before his death, he passed away at his Mumbai residence while recovering.

His cremation took place on November 25 in Mumbai in a strictly private ceremony attended only by close relatives and a few industry colleagues. Sunny and Bobby Deol performed the last rites, fulfilling their father’s wish for a simple farewell without state honours. Personalities including Amitabh Bachchan, Hema Malini, Esha Deol, Aamir Khan, Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Salim Khan were seen at the crematorium.

Dharmendra is survived by his first wife Prakash Kaur and their children Sunny, Bobby, Vijeta, and Ajeeta, as well as his second wife Hema Malini and their daughters Esha and Ahana.

Anushka Sharma Celebrates Virat Kohli’s 84th International Century during IND vs SA 2nd ODI

Virat Kohli seems to be in the best of form in India’s ongoing series against South Africa as he makes a strong comeback to international cricket. The former India captain has now scored back-to-back centuries on the tour and has looked in great touch, as fans have been waiting to see him in full flow again. Kohli scored his 84th international century in the latest India vs South Africa match to add another big feather to his already glittering career.

As has often been the case, one of his staunchest supporters—both in public and in private—has been his wife, actress Anushka Sharma. Though not in attendance at the stadium, she made her pride and jubilation known on social media. A short while after Kohli reached the three-figure mark, Anushka took to her Instagram story to post a picture of Kohli celebrating his century. All the actress did was add a simple red heart emoji, the most heartfelt gesture that spoke volumes about her admiration and continued support for her husband.

The couple, often regarded as one of India’s most loved celebrity couples, has never stopped celebrating each other’s professional success. Kohli has spoken very frequently about how Anushka’s encouragement dictates his game and mind, while the latter has never shied away from stating her pride in his commitment to cricket. Their interactions online, whenever a big match is on, go viral almost every time as a testimony to their innate love and respect for each other.

Kohli’s back-to-back hundreds are very well timed for India, who seek to keep the series’ momentum going. His effort strengthens not just India’s batting lineup but also heralds a renewed confidence that may set the tone for the future tournaments. For the fans, a resurgence of this kind in the field and the warm acknowledgment of it by his better half, Anushka, adds an emotional layer to India’s cricketing successes.

Sydney Sweeney’s Vintage Gown Turns Heads at The Housemaid Screening

Sydney Sweeney delivered another series of high-fashion moments in New York City this week while promoting her upcoming psychological thriller, The Housemaid.

For a screening of the film, the 28-year-old actor arrived in a white, Old Hollywood–inspired gown featuring a plunging neckline, ribbon bow detail at the bust, and thin straps. The crystal-covered dress included a subtle train, paired with a feathered boa that Sweeney wore draped low across her arms. She completed the look with voluminous retro curls, soft pink makeup, and jeweled earrings.

Sweeney posed alongside co-star Amanda Seyfried, who attended in a pale pink halter gown with ruching at the waist.

The appearance follows a series of recent vintage-inflected looks from Sweeney. At the Governors Awards last month, she wore an off-the-shoulder Miu Miu gown with a sweetheart neckline and crystal mesh overlay, styled with short curls in a nod to classic Hollywood styling. Earlier in October, at Variety’s 2025 Power of Women event, she opted for a sheer silver Christian Cowan gown.

Her promotional wardrobe for The Housemaid continued throughout the week. For a taping of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Sweeney chose a cranberry red satin midi dress by Alex Perry. Later that evening, she changed into a custom bright red Patou set, including a bubble miniskirt, cropped coat, red suede Magda Butrym boots, and sunglasses for dinner at The Corner Store.

The Housemaid is scheduled for theatrical release on December 19.

Bigg Boss 19: Abhishek Bajaj and Awez Darbar Bring the House Down with Their Killer Dance Moves

Former Bigg Boss 19 contestants Abhishek Bajaj and Awez Darbar recently reunited and brought back their “Desi Boyz” charm by grooving to the iconic title track “Make Some Noise for Desi Boyz” from the 2011 film. The duo, who developed a strong bond inside the Bigg Boss house, shared a fun dance video on Instagram, instantly delighting fans. In their collaborative post, they captioned the video, “Abhishek X Awez #Desiboys.”

The original song, sung by KK, is from Rohit Dhawan’s directorial debut film Desi Boyz starring Akshay Kumar, John Abraham, Deepika Padukone, and Chitrangada Singh. The movie revolves around two friends, Jignesh and Nikhil, who lose their jobs and resort to working as strippers, putting their friendship and relationships to the test.
