    Celebs ignoring Gaza genocide have karma coming their way with #blockout2024

    The 50th Met Gala took place this week — also known as the “Superbowl of Fashion”. Every year, celebrity outfits make headlines. But this year, it was different.

    The event coincided with Israel’s genocide taking place in Gaza — particularly the invasion of Rafah. Public, as well as residential areas have been targeted, 110,000 Palestinians have fled, while aid has been halted into the city.

    People, including staunch celebrity fans, are now calling for not only unfollowing but also blocking singers, actors, and other members of the entertainment industry on social media.

    We the People.Resist has compiled a list of celebrities who participated in The Met Gala and need to be “digitally guillotined” which they referred to as “Digitine”.

    People are calling out the celebrities for choosing to remain silent on the on-going genocide and ignorantly attending a mega event which often acts as a distraction from real-life issues demanding attention.

    Ranveer Singh addresses divorce rumors after deleting wedding picture

    Ranveer Singh has dismissed rumors of divorce with his wife Deepika Padukone, just days after he removed their wedding photos from his Instagram account.
    The Bollywood action star, who recently wiped out all posts on his Instagram before January 2023, including those with Padukone, addressed the resultant speculation during a fancy jewelry store’s opening in Mumbai. He showed everyone his favorite jewelry- his wedding and engagement rings.
    “One of the rings that are very dear to me is this one it’s my wedding ring, presented to me by my wife. The other one is a platinum engagement ring,” he said while showing the jewellery pieces to the camera.
    “And then there are my mother’s diamond earrings and my grandmother’s pearls,” he added. “These are my favorite pieces because they have a lot of personal and sentimental value to me.”

    Ranveer Singh and Indian superstar Deepika Padukone got married in Lake Como, Italy in 2018. They had been dating for almost six years.
    This year, in February, the couple shared the news of their first pregnancy. They made the announcement on Instagram. They said they’re expecting their baby to arrive in September.

  • Which dashing bowler does Natasha Ali want as her hero?

    Natasha Ali, actor and contestant on ‘Tamasha 2’, expressed her desire to have fast bowling sensation Haris Rauf as the main actor and Babar Azam in the role of her brother in a movie.

    During a talk show on ‘Show Time’ she was joined by veteran actor Babar Ali. Natasha chose the two cricketers from Pakistan’s national cricket team for her dream cast in a film. “I would like to cast Haris Rauf as my hero, whereas, for his brother, I would choose Babar Azam,” she remarked, leaving the live audience in splits.

    Natasha then said, “I think Muhammad Rizwan would be a good villain. Maybe it’s his face, or maybe just how he looks in pictures. But remember, villains don’t always have to look mean. There are handsome villains too!”

    “Honestly, I don’t know a lot about him, but I think Iftikhar Ahmed would be good for the father’s role,” Natasha said. “And Shaheen Afridi could play the funny character in the film,” she added.

    Meanwhile, when Babar Ali was asked about his picks for the upcoming World Cup, he chose Babar Azam, Hassan Ali, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Imam ul Haq, Haris Rauf, Muhammad Rizwan, Shadab Khan, Saud Shakeel, Muhammad Wasim, and Muhammad Haris.

    Why did Juggan Kazim kiss ASP Shehrbano’s hand?

    Juggun Kazim was invited as a guest in ‘showtime with Ramiz Raja’ where the host, Hina Niazi, asked her about inviting ASP Sherbano to her show.
    Juggun responded, “Wait a minute, you’ve invited me too, so here I am. I have a habit of loving everyone; I even kiss on the forehead and especially with girls, my habit is to hug and love them. She’s a 24 or 25-year-old girl, my stepdaughter is 26, so she’s the same age as my children. And she has done something that even men three times bigger in size couldn’t do. So, I must have hugged such children 50,000 times, whether they belong to any profession.”

    On 01 March, 2024, the ASP rescued a woman from a frenzied mob in Lahore’s Ichra market. Kazim defended her actions, emphasizing that they were a gesture of love and support for Shehrbano during a trying time.

    ASP Shehrbano Naqvi appeared in Kazim’s morning show on Pakistan Television Network where the program host kissed her hand.
    Naqvi is being feted continuously since she personally saved a woman from a charged mob in Ichra Bazar, Lahore, at risk to her own safety.

  • Greta Thunberg shows up at protest to denounce Israel’s participation in Eurovision

    Greta Thunberg shows up at protest to denounce Israel’s participation in Eurovision

    Continuing with her support for the Palestinian cause, climate activist Greta Thunberg joined thousands of demonstrators marching through the streets of Malmo in Sweden, on Thursday, spamming Israel’s participation in Eurovision.

    This year’s Eurovision song contest began on Tuesday, in the southern Swedish city of Malmo. The grand finale is scheduled for Saturday, but the war in Gaza is ‘looming’ over the festivities.

    “I am a Eurovision fan and it breaks my heart but I’m boycotting. I can’t have fun knowing that Israel is there participating when all those kids are dying. I think it’s just wrong” 30-year-old protester Hilda (who did not want to provide her surname), told members of the press. Israel’s military offensive has killed at least 34,904 people in Gaza, mostly women and children.

    In 2022, Russia’s state broadcaster was excluded from the European Broadcasting Union (which oversees Eurovision), in the wake of the war in Ukraine. “I feel like if they can remove Russia why can they not do it to Israel?” 29-year-old, Margo Mustafa said in an exchange with reporters’.
    “The people are here for Eurovision trying to celebrate. There’s nothing to celebrate. It’s an ongoing war” she added.

    An excess of 5,000 people gathered on Thursday afternoon, in Malmo’s main square, according to an estimate. Signs in the crowd read: “Liberate Palestine”, “EUR legitimises genocide” and “colonialism cannot be washed in pink.”

    Israel’s entrant, “Hurricane” by singer Eden Golan, is set to compete in Thursday’s semi-final. It has already been partially re-written and given a new title, after Eurovision organisers deemed the original version to be ‘too political’.

    Protester Cecilia Brudell, told the press “At six and nine, my children are now at an age where they want to watch Eurovision but this year we are completely boycotting it”.

    Since the new year, numerous petitions have demanded Israel’s exclusion from the 68th edition of the annual music competition. At the end of March, contestants from nine countries, including Swiss favourite Nemo, called for a ‘lasting ceasefire’.

  • Crowd boos at Israel singers during Eurovision rehearsels

    Crowd boos at Israel singers during Eurovision rehearsels

    This week, all eyes are on the Eurovision Song Contest happening in Malmo, Sweden’s third-largest city. Over 150 million people worldwide watch this yearly event, which organizers claim is not political. However, this year might be different.

    During the dress rehearsal, Israeli singer Edan Golan was booed on stage while performing. Some people in the audience loudly disagreed with Israel being part of the event and chanted ‘Free Palestine!’

    Videos shared on social media show the booing and chanting throughout Edan’s performance, almost drowning out her singing. Police at the Malmö Arena stepped in and stopped the people.

    An X user shared a video of the disruption, writing, “Israel getting booed at Eurovision. We love to see it.”

    Someone else wrote, “I’ve never heard so much booing at Eurovision before, but Israel didn’t face any big problems during the first show with a crowd.”

    The EBU expressed “regret” for letting Swedish singer Eric Saade perform at the opening of the contest after he wore a Palestinian keffiyeh scarf around his wrist. So far, organisers have refused to budge to demands that Israel be booted off the competition for its genocide in Gaza.
