Prince Harry is accused by Piers Morgan of "copying" the cover image for his memoir

In a new attack on Prince Harry, Piers Morgan claims that the royal not only employed the same ghostwriter for his planned autobiography as Andre Agassi, but also "copied" the tennis star's cover image.

Soon after Penguin Random House revealed the title of Prince Harry's tell-all, Spare, Morgan's harsh criticism of the choice made headlines. The British host then added to his criticism.

Morgan commented on the similarities between Prince Harry and Agassi's memoirs on Twitter, calling them "hilarious... Harry not only employed the same ghostwriter as Andre Agassi's book, but he also plagiarised the front cover image.

The only distinction, he said, was that one had a world-class skill for sport, while the other had a world-class aptitude for complaining.

The tweet was sent out just hours after Morgan criticised Prince Harry for using the term "heir and spare" as the book's title and even referred to him as "petulant, selfish, and greedy."

The memoir "Spare" is hailed as legendary by Prince Harry's supporters

 

Reactions are sparked by the incendiary book's title, which helps the Duke financially.

On Thursday, the title of the eagerly awaited tell-all memoir was revealed, and Sussex fans have praised the term as "iconic". While some have criticised the idea of using a "brutal" title.

In reference to Prince Harry and his elder brother Prince William, it has been suggested that the word "Spare" refers to the proverb "an heir and a spare."

"The impact of Prince Harry calling his memoir 'Spare' is truly legendary," journalist Stephanie Soteriou wrote on Twitter.

In response, a different user wrote: "The word "spare," which the media and the royal family have used to disparage Prince Harry his whole life, is in the title of his autobiography. 

From last night's party, here are 5 images of Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal that are total couple goals

 

New Delhi: It's safe to say that everything else paled in comparison to Katrina Kaif and Vicky Kaushal's arrival at movie producer Ramesh Taurani's Diwali party (pretty much). Vicky Kaushal was present at both of the last night's Bollywood parties, which were held in Mumbai at Kriti Sanon's home and Ramesh Taurani's. 

Katrina was not there at Kriti's party. Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif absolutely rocked the red carpet. Whether it's taking selfies with supporters or strolling hand-in-hand around the venue. For the photographers positioned at the party location, they grinned broadly. Katrina Kaif chose a red lehenga for the event, while Vicky Kaushal sported his go-to midnight blue attire.

The stunning photos of Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif from last night's party have us drooling. Look this this

Ishaan Khatter and Siddhant Chaturvedi are also in the movie Phone Bhoot, which Katrina Kaif is now promoting. She will also appear with Salman Khan in Tiger 3. She will also appear in Merry Christmas, a Sriram Raghavan film with Vijay Sethupathi.

After two years of courtship, Katrina Kaif wed Vicky Kaushal in December of last year. They held lavish wedding celebrations in Rajasthan's Sawai Madhopur. They held a secret wedding with only a select group of close family and movie industry acquaintances in attendance.

Truss leaves, but the political and economic unrest in the UK continues

 

Liz Truss, the British prime minister, announced her resignation on Thursday following a turbulent and unusually brief stint characterised by economic policies that shook financial markets and a political party uprising that destroyed her authority.

Truss served as prime minister for only 45 days when she was ousted, making her the shortest-serving leader in British history and the third Conservative prime minister to fall in as many years. Her resignation deepens the unrest that has gripped Britain since it left the European Union and places the country's government in a precarious position as it deals with a cost-of-living problem and impending recession.

Truss, 47, announced in front of her 10 Downing Street office, "I cannot achieve the mandate on which I was elected by the Conservative Party."

Although the financial markets exhaled a sigh of relief, the ruling party must now act rapidly to appoint a leader who can bring its rival sections together. Truss said that she would stay in office until a replacement was selected, which the Conservative Party claimed it would accomplish by the end of the next week—a remarkably short time frame for selecting the new head of one of the biggest economies in the world.

Rishi Sunak, the former Treasury secretary who lost to Truss in the previous leadership race, Penny Mordaunt, Ben Wallace, and Boris Johnson, the former prime minister who was dismissed in July due to a string of ethics issues, are all potential challengers.

The low-tax, low-regulation economic policies that her party used to elect Truss turned out to be disastrous in the face of skyrocketing inflation and sluggish economic growth.

Investors were concerned that Britain couldn't afford the massive tax cuts she proposed in her economic plan on September 23. Mortgage rates rose and the value of the pound plummeted, causing hardship for many who were already struggling economically due to the pandemic and their enterprises.

Pakistan loses to England in a warm-up game: T20 WorldCup

 England trounced Pakistan by six wickets on Monday in a T20 World Cup 2022 warm-up game in 

Brisbane, giving them more confidence going into the tournament.

England managed to complete the 161-run mark in 15 overs despite losing their opening duo who had scored poorly.

The easy dismissals of England's openers, Phil Salt (1) and Alex Hales (9) by Pakistan, were insufficient to put the batting side on the back foot.

Ben Stokes scored 36 runs in 18 balls, including two fours and three sixes. Sam Curran and Harry Brook both made significant contributions, scoring 45 and 33 runs off 24 and 14 balls, respectively, to help England reach the finish line in 14.4 overs.

The best bowler for Pakistan was Mohammad Wasim Jr., who finished with figures of 2-16 in 2.4 overs. Shadab Khan and Naseem Shah each claimed one wicket.

Following a protracted injury absence, star pacer Shaheen Afridi bowled two overs without picking up a wicket while giving up seven runs.

Earlier, despite a better start in the powerplay by the new opening combination of Shan Masood and Haider Ali, Pakistan still managed to score 160-8 in a 19-over warm-up game that was hampered by rain.

In contrast to Pakistan's usual openers Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, Masood and Ali got their team off to a quick start. Against an England bowling lineup that was at full power, the openers scored 49 runs in 4.4 overs.

Prince Louis is the name Kate and William choose as a particular homage to the Royal Family

During her first solo public appearance as the new Princess of Wales in Guildford, Kate Middleton recently gave a thorough explanation of how she chose the names for her children.

Kate, 40, spoke extensively about her children when touring the maternity ward at the Royal Surrey County Hospital. She also discussed how she and Prince William came up with their names.

Few people are aware that the Prince and Princess of Wales named their children in the traditional British manner, despite the fact that there was considerable curiosity about the names of royal children like Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.

Prince Louis Arthur Charles is the name Kate and William have given to their third child. Like their older two children, George and Charlotte, Prince Louis Arthur Charles has many connotations and close ties to the royal family.

As noted by royal analyst Victoria Arbiter, "every new parent loves having a little private time to get to know their new addition before the barrage of announcements," according to The List. However, there is a desire to tell the families before the public proclamation is made.

According to The List, people were already unravelling the significance of the new parents' choice of name before they finally disclosed it.

Like before, Kate and William announced the name of their son on Twitter. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are excited to reveal the name Louis Arthur Charles for their son. His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge will be the baby's name.

The name Louis is a traditional homage to the Duke of Edinburgh's maternal grandfather, Prince Louis Alexander of Battenberg, and his uncle, Lord Louis Mountbatten.

Like his father William, Prince George, Louis' older brother, also has Louis as a middle name. The name means "famous warrior" and is of Germanic and French origin.

Another mediocre romantic comedy is "Wedding in Nigeria."

The Wedding Party first appeared on the Nollywood scene in the year 2016. As the first movie to gross over 400 million naira, this one smashed the box office record and won the hearts of millions of viewers both domestically and overseas.

On October 7th, a similar-themed film called "Wedding in Nigeria" was released in an effort to rival the success of "Wedding Party." Unfortunately, the film lacks certain elements that would make it a box office success.

Nigerian wedding

Wedding in Nigeria, which borrows its plot from classic Nollywood films, depicts the tale of a couple who encounter prejudice from their relatives as a result of their tribal affiliations. Along with this, they also have to cope with the secrets from each person's background.

The outfits are just another flaw in the movie. You did read that correctly. Even though a movie's costume is usually the easiest to get right, "Wedding in Nigeria" manages to screw it up. A excellent illustration would be the actor portraying the groom's father, who had a bald wig cap. 

The accuracy of the character's clothing received minimal consideration. Additionally, the attire used in the wedding scene was upsetting because it appeared more like a "housewarming party" than a wedding.

Due to some actors forgetting their lines and stammering as a result, the fantastic acting performances suffered greatly. The cast's acting performance would receive a 3.5 out of 10. Can anybody also explain why the characters needed police officers and why one of them had a really terrible accent despite numerous attempts to make it funny?

Finally, the script and sound quality were both deplorable. Although smooth speech is not new to Nollywood films, this one takes it to a new level. Even if it's not the easiest task in the world to write a screenplay, writers should make the effort to create work they're happy of. The background music only makes the poor audio quality worse.

The royal titles of Archie and Lilibet are decided by King Charles III

 

In an effort to mend the royal divide, King Charles will bestow titles on Archie and Lilibet Markle, the children of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, in an additional gesture of goodwill.

The children of Harry and Meghan have been given the titles of His Royal Highness Prince Archie of Sussex and Her Royal Highness Princess Lilibet of Sussex following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Conventions established more than a century ago are to blame for the transformation. 

Grandchildren of the monarch are entitled to royal titles automatically, per George V's 1917 regulations.

Archie and Lilibet now possess the title of prince and princess because they are the grandchildren of King Charles III.

However, the offspring of the couple are still mentioned on the Royal Family's official website one month after the Queen's passing.

After criticising her parents' conservatorship, Britney Spears deletes her Instagram account

Britney Spears vanished from social media after berating her parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears, for abusing her when she was under conservatorship and deleting her Instagram account.

The Hold Me Closer singer claimed that during the 13-year legal agreement, her separated parents treated her "less than a dog."

Before leaving a lengthy comment on the photo-sharing app, the Princess of Pop described how her father showed her body to "nurses while showering."

Jamie, according to Spears, used to call her fat and make comparisons between her body and that of her lover, which caused the singer to experience body image issues.

Because dad was often intoxicated, she stated, "He was never a father to me." "I know I try to show myself as perfect and beautiful, but the truth is that I know what it's like to feel ugly and afraid, so that's why I'm talking about this! 'THERE IS NO LOOKING AT THAT FACE OF YOURS,' or something similar.

He would descend low! He was the lowest," she reminisced as she recalled Jamie telling her that she needed to "work" on herself since she "wasn't fit" and comparing her figure to that of her boyfriend's "beautiful" shape.

The pop artist said, "I wish you burn in hell you sorry son of a (expletive)!!!" She added that she prayed "every morning" and "every night" for her father to "experience just 5 minutes of the misery" she went through.

Given her separation, Christine McGuinness acknowledges that she is really anxious about attending NTAs

 

Immediately following her divorce from her husband Paddy, Christine McGuinness makes a risky disclosure.

In an Instagram statement to her fans on Wednesday, the former model Christine, 34, said she is "really not fine" and "not a hundred percent" after her split and said she is "very afraid" to attend the NTAs on Thursday in light of their split.

Before the couple's shocking breakup in August, the model  personality, who has been with Paddy for eleven years and is the mother of his three children, videotaped herself sipping coffee in the car.

a worried "Hey everyone, I just thought I'd come on and say hey," Christine said. It has been some while. I am aware of my silence. I know the most of you are aware of the numerous things I have going on.

It's been great to hear from so many of you, which I really, really appreciate. Thank you a lot. I'll be truthful.

I won't be lying. Not going to say anything right now "I'm good. Just a little period of alone for me ". I'm not at all okay.

I've had way too much on my plate lately, but things are going well. I've missed chatting about myself on here, but I'm experiencing more good days than bad ones right now. Every day I talk to myself, but I had no idea how much of an outlet I found on Instagram.

She continued, "I miss doing that so I'm going to try and be a little bit more active because before I used to come on and just chat trash every day.

"Right now I'm not feeling 100% myself, so I definitely will keep having little quiet spells, but I am doing okay," she said.

This Thursday night at the National Television Awards, Christine is scheduled to walk the red carpet.

She acknowledged that she was worried about going because Paddy would be there as well.

On a more positive note, I'm attending the NTAs tomorrow, she muttered before hiding her face with her palm. I'm quite nervous because I was nominated for the documentary Patrick and I created with our kids. Simply because of everything, I'm rather anxious.

At the box office, Bollywood faces a horror show

Mumbai: As streaming services and competitors who do not speak Hindi steal its shine, India's Bollywood film industry, which has long been a part of the cultural fabric of the movie-obsessed nation of 1.4 billion people, is experiencing its worst-ever crisis. 

The South Asian superpower, which produces more movies than any other nation on earth on average each year, is usually led by glamorous Bollywood, where audiences swarm premieres and fans revere actors like gods. But after Covid limits were loosened, movie theatres have been more quiet, even in Mumbai, the hub of Bollywood.

Manoj Desai, a seasoned Mumbai theatre owner, "this is the greatest crisis we have ever encountered." Because "the public was not there," some screenings were cancelled.

Akshay Kumar, a megastar who often does well financially, had three consecutively bad films. Aamir Khan, a fellow A-lister who has been in some of India's most popular movies, failed to draw in viewers with the Forrest Gump remake Laal Singh Chaddha.

Just one-fifth of the more than 50 Bollywood films released in the past year—fewer than usual due to the pandemic—have met or exceeded revenue goals, according to Elara Capital media analyst Karan Taurani. Prior to the epidemic, it was 50%.

In contrast, a number of Telugu-language films, sometimes known as Tollywood films, a south Indian rival to Hindi-language Bollywood, have achieved great success.

In contrast, a number of Telugu-language films, sometimes known as Tollywood films, a south Indian rival to Hindi-language Bollywood, have achieved great success.

According to a recent analysis by Soumya Kanti Ghosh, chief economist at State Bank of India, it is embarrassing that from January 2021 to August of this year, about half of the Hindi-language films' box office receipts were dubbed southern productions.

After decades of narrative, Ghosh said that "Bollywood seems to be at an inflection point unlike any earlier upheaval it has faced."

'Out-of-touch'

Bollywood has suffered from the rise of streaming, which began before the pandemic but took off when millions of Indians were compelled to stay indoors, just like other film industries.

A government estimate states that 96 million people in India have subscriptions to streaming services, including major foreign companies like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Disney+ Hotstar.

While some movies published during the Covid shutdown were immediately available on these platforms, others only had a few weeks to wait until they were available on television.

Price-sensitive people were leaving theatres since streaming monthly subscriptions cost less than or are equivalent to the price of a single ticket - 100-200 rupees ($1.20-$2.50) at single-screen movies and higher at multiplexes, according to analysts.

Because of the difficult economic climate, INOX and PVR, two of the largest multiplex operators in India, announced their merger in March in order to "build scale."

Meanwhile, subscribers were exposed to regional and international streaming content, including southern Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada films that already had hordes of ardent local fans.

"Regional film did not spread outside of its bounds. You realise that there are filmmakers telling more fascinating stories when suddenly everyone was watching Malayalam or Maharashtrian movies "Raja Sen, a film critic, stated.

They become less impressed when they see a Hindi blockbuster with a celebrity that is merely a rehash of a tale they have already heard a million times.

India-UK Trade Deal on the "Brink of Collapsing" Due to Comments on Visa

 

According to a report in "Politico," it is increasingly unlikely that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will travel to the UK for Diwali to ratify an FTA.

London: According to a UK media report on Wednesday, the India-UK free trade agreement (FTA) is "on the verge of collapse" because the Indian government was incensed by remarks made by UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman on the country's handling of visa overstayers.

According to official sources cited by "The Times," Braverman expressed her reservations about a "open borders" offer to India as part of an FTA, which left ministers in New Delhi "shocked and dissatisfied." It is now thought that there are fewer chances of achieving the pact's Diwali deadline set by the former prime minister Boris Johnson.

There is still a lot of goodwill, but if some people remain part of the [UK] administration, it will stymie negotiations, a source told the newspaper.

According to a report in "Politico," it is increasingly unlikely that Prime Minister Narendra Modi will travel to the UK for Diwali to ratify an FTA.

In an interview last week, the Home Secretary of Indian descent expressed her concern that a trade agreement with India would lead to a surge in immigration to the UK, despite the fact that Indians already made up the largest group of visa overstayers.

Braverman told the weekly news magazine "The Spectator" that he was "concerned about having an open borders migration policy with India because I don't think that's what people voted for with Brexit."

When questioned about the flexibility of visas for students and businesspeople under an FTA between India and the UK, she responded: "But I do harbour some misgivings. The majority of immigrants who overstay their visas in this country are Indians, according to data on migration."

"In order to promote and enable improved cooperation in this area, we even came to an agreement with the Indian government last year. It hasn't always worked out well." Her predecessor at the Home Office, Priti Patel, an Indian national, and External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar signed the Migration and Mobility Partnership (MMP) in May of last year.

In response, the Indian High Commission in London noted that in all cases brought to it under the MMP, action has already been taken.

"Mobility has been the main demand from India, and everything else – financial services, banking, education, whisky origin rules, etc. – depends on it. Furthermore, Suella has yanked that mobility question out from under her "According to a senior UK government source, "The Times."

"They were out of control. Mad doesn't even begin to convey how furious they are, "another observed Although it appears that Liz Truss, the British prime minister, and Braverman are at odds over the FTA because she wants to sign it by the Diwali deadline, a media article shows that they actually agree on the topic of migration.

To build the very special India-UK partnership in trade, investment, defence, and through the #LivingBridge, the Indian High Commissioner to the UK, Vikram Doraiswami, met Truss at an event in London on Tuesday night. He then tweeted: "Delighted and honoured to greet HE PM Liz Truss @10DowningStreet this evening." The current consensus among strategic experts on both sides is that if the Diwali deadline for the FTA is still met

Javed Akhtar praises Amitabh Bachchan's personality, says it is very difficult to step in his shoes

 In an exclusive interview, Javed Akhtar discussed Amitabh Bachchan's down to earth nature and claimed that it would be extremely challenging to fill his shoes.

Being Amitabh Bachchan is very difficult, Akhtar continued. You need to possess incredible talent. Additionally, you must exercise extreme discipline and absolute focus. You must be so wise that over the course of your long career, you never say anything incorrectly or indecently.

"There was a period he worked with five factions who would like to see each other dead," he continued. But he served as a unifying element. Amitabh used to make everyone happy. That demonstrated his social skills. He also has extremely decent social relations. Even at the height of his career, his discipline was astounding.

Javed claims that he sensed the potential in Amitabh and knew that he would one day become a major star.

"I have watched some of his films that didn't function because of horrible screenplay, story, etc., but one could always see that in spite of the devastation surrounding him, he was a volcano ready to blow at any minute," stated Kal Ho Na Ho, the song's lyricist. 

People in our film industry judge you based on your accomplishments. If your movie did not perform well, you are a terrible person.

Amitabh Bachchan is presently anchoring Kaun Banega Crorepati 14, his most watched programme, according to IndiaToday.

As spectators strain to see, "House of the Dragon" defends its "artistic decision" to make the show dark

 

After viewers said they couldn't see much in the most recent episode of House of the Dragon, the show's creators defended the episode's extreme darkness.

In the seventh episode of HBO's Game of Thrones prequel, Driftmark, Prince Aemond claimed Vhagar as his dragon in a moment that was so dark that many people reported they had trouble understanding what was going on.

Customer care for HBO Max Help said the following on Twitter: "Good day! We value your inquiry regarding a House of the Dragon: Episode 7 night scene that seemed dark on your screen. This scene's poor lighting was purposefully chosen by the artist. Thanks!"

However, several spectators complained that the dim lighting made it impossible to see the action on the screen; some even posted images of their TVs' completely dark screens.

One more tweeted: "I'm going to need @hbomax to send me a written apology for literally the whole episode of #HouseOfTheDragon having a black screen. This is absurd."

"Literally turned off the lights, shut the curtains, and maxed the brightness and IT'S STILL F**KING DARK #HouseOfTheDragon," one viewer alleged.

Added another admirer: "I had trouble seeing anything during the House of the Dragon episode that aired tonight. It might have just as well been audio-only. Watching required me to use my imagination to picture what was actually happening, much like listening to a radio programme."

Several memes that were viral at the time stated that many people were squinting and straining their eyes to watch the TV show.

Since the show's debut in August, audiences have responded strongly to it for a number of reasons.

Manchester United defeats Everton thanks to a partnership between Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro

 

Cristiano Ronaldo and Casemiro Manchester United defeated Everton 2-1 at Goodison Park to maintain pressure on the top four teams in the Premier League.

The visitors overcame Frank Lampard and his Toffees to win after falling behind 6-3 in the Manchester derby the previous Saturday.

Everton got ahead.

After Alex Iwobi gave the Toffees the lead in the opening five minutes, Erik ten Hag's men had to make things difficult for themselves.

The former Arsenal player took one touch to put a superb attempt past the flailing David de Gea, who could do little to stop the strike, after receiving the ball 20 yards away.

a quick change

Anthony Martial pulled up and walked down the tunnel before the rest of his teammates during the warm-up before the game while hanging onto his hip, but it was decided that he would start.

It appeared to be a wise choice as Antony ran onto a perfectly weighted ball from Martial to score his third goal in as many games with a twisting finish.

A Centaurus shopping Mall in Islamabad catches fire

 

On Sunday, A Centaurus shopping Mall  fire started in the food court of a well-known shopping centre in Islamabad, but it was quickly "under control" as rescue workers rushed to the scene.

After videos on social media platforms showed smoke coming out of the building, the chief commissioner of the capital declared that the fire had been put out and that the cooling process had begun.
