    The Dilbar diva was asked about the most famous person who slid into her DMs and her answer had most shocked. “You are not ready (for this) – Brad Pitt,” she said.

    For the unversed, ‘sliding into DMs’ essentially mean messaging someone on Instagram with flirtatious intent.

    This statement from interview has gotten viral now on social media platforms, especially Reddit, with people calling the Kusu Kusu dancer a liar since Pitt doesn’t even use Instagram.

    A user wrote, “I don’t get how he slid into her DMs, when he doesn’t use Instagram,” while another questioned the statement jokingly. “Are we supposed to believe it?” it read.

    A user also joked about Pitt’s reaction to Fatehi’s statement, and wrote, “Brad Pitt: I don’t even know who you are.” Commenting on the video, a user sarcastically commented on her dating choices. “So, Brad Pitt’s been in her DMs, yet she hangs out with guys like Sukesh?” it read.

    Fatehi will be performing at the FIFA World Cup 2022 this year. She was recently summoned by Delhi Police’s Economic Offences Wing in connection to the alleged money laundering case involving Sukesh Chandrasekhar, who has been been jailed on charges of extortion and duping several people. Apart from receiving expensive gifts from Sukesh, Nora allegedly went to Delhi’s Tihar Jail to meet the alleged conman.

    ‘Verbally abused, poured alcohol on children’: Angelina Jolie makes shocking revelations about Brad Pitt

    Amidst the Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt controversy, alleged photos of Jolie’s bruises surfaced on the net. Now Angelina has filed court papers accusing Pitt of drunkenly attacking her and their children during a private plane flight, prompting her to file for divorce.

    In a lawsuit over a French winery that the stars bought, The Salt star mentioned that grabbed her by the head and attacked two of their children on the 2016 trip.

    Pitt also verbally abused and poured alcohol on his family during the flight from France to Los Angeles, she said.

    Brad denied these allegations. Jolie’s claim of abusive behaviour by Pitt on the 14 September 2016 flight has emerged in previous court papers, including the Oscar-winning former couple’s divorce settlement.

    The incident was investigated by the FBI in 2016. Authorities decided not to press charges.

    But new details were alleged in Tuesday’s filing in Los Angeles by Jolie’s legal team. It is part of an ongoing lawsuit over Chateau Miraval SA, a home and vineyard in the south of France that the former Hollywood couple acquired together.

    Pitt argues that he and his former wife had agreed not to sell their stakes in the venue without the permission of the other.

    Jolie disputes this and blames Pitt for ending negotiations over purchasing her shares of the property.

    Her cross-complaint on Tuesday says the actor was physically and emotionally abusive towards her and their six children – aged 8 to 15 at the time – during the private plane flight.

    Her lawyers allege the Fight Club star began shouting, accusing her of being “too deferential to the children”.

    Shortly into the flight, Pitt “pulled her into the bathroom” in the back of the plane, says the lawsuit.

    “Pitt grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her, and then grabbed her shoulders and shook her again before pushing her into the bathroom wall,” the filing adds.

    “Pitt then punched the ceiling of the plane numerous times, prompting Jolie to leave the bathroom.”

    After one child verbally intervened, Pitt “lunged at his own child”, says the filing.

    Jolie then “grabbed him from behind to stop him”, according to the court papers.

    “To get Jolie off his back, Pitt threw himself backward into the airplane’s seats injuring Jolie’s back and elbow,” the legal filing continues.

    “The children rushed in and all bravely tried to protect each other. Before it was over, Pitt choked one of the children and struck another in the face.”

    Jolie’s lawyers say she and her children “sat still and silent under blankets” for the remainder of the flight.

    “Pitt periodically emerged from the back of the plane to yell and swear at them. At one point, he poured beer on Jolie; at another, he poured beer and red wine on the children,” says the filing.

    A source close to the actor told the BBC that Jolie’s claims were false.

    “She continues to rehash, revise and reimagine her description of an event that happened six years ago by adding completely untrue information each time she fails to get what she wants,” said the source. “Her story is constantly evolving.”

    Last year, a judge awarded joint custody of the children to both parents.

    The Miraval estate is located in the village of Correns in south-eastern France, and was bought by the couple for around €25m (£21.3m; $25m) in 2008.

  • Why are Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Brad Pitt banned in China?

    Why are Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez and Brad Pitt banned in China?

    Several American celebrities are banned in China. The Hollywood A-listers who are a part of the list, include Miley Cyrus, Jay-Z, Brad Pitt, Selena Gomez, Lady Gaga, and Gigi Hadid. It’s not just them who are banned, but even several films due to their strict censorship rules.

    The Chinese government got angry at a picture that Miley took where she was imitating Asians by pulling back the skin around her eyes. It’s something an elementary school kid does, not realizing it’s racist. But a young adult should know better.

    This image has an empty alt attribute; its file name is miley-cyrus-1495548854.jpg

    The Organization for Chinese Americans had strong words about the picture, but the Chinese government turned things up to 11, straight-up banning Miley Cyrus from the country. The Chinese Foreign Minister even got involved, stating, “Miss Cyrus has made it clear she is no friend of China or anyone of East Asian descent. We have no interest in further polluting our children’s minds with her American ignorance.” The pop singer shot back on a website message by blaming the press for taking things out of context and attacking her, but the Chinese government wasn’t having it, even after a second, less confrontational apology. Years after the picture, the ban remains in place.

    Actor Brad Pitt starred in the 1997 film Seven Years In Tibet, playing the 14th Dalai Lama’s tutor. Chinese officials took offense to that movie because of how it portrayed the Chinese occupation of Tibet. Deciding that the filmmakers needed to get punished for the movie, they barred the main people involved with the movie from China, including Pitt. Until 2016, Pitt couldn’t set foot in China.

    Meeting the Dalai Lama was probably a really cool experience for former Disney star Selena Gomez, but it also got her banned from China. In rehearsals for the 2014 We Day Vancouver event the pop-star met the Dalai Lama. That might not have been too bad for her Chinese relations, but somebody took a picture of it and Selena Gomez, being the teen idol she is, made sure to post the picture on her Instagram and Twitter.

    The Chinese outrage was really slow in developing, and Selena didn’t even know that the government had taken offense to the picture until two years later when she was planning tour dates in China. Her website announced shows scheduled for Guangzhou and Shanghai while the tour was in planning. One day those dates were mysteriously deleted from the website. 

    According to sources the Chinese government had finally gotten around to enacting a ban on her for the now two-year old picture (which has since been removed from Twitter and Instagram), which we like to imagine was a hilariously long bureaucratic process and not the more simple explanation that the Chinese government didn’t really have much reason to pay attention to Gomez’s Instagram back in 2014.

    In 2017, it was reported by BBC that Justin Bieber was banned in China due to his ‘bad behaviour.’ Justin has had his fair share of controversial moments in the past. From being arrested for driving under influence to drug abuse, the singer has been through a lot of struggles.

    Justin Bieber Was Once Banned From China Over His Ill Behaviour

    Though a lot of people have condemned Bieber in the past due to that, the Chinese government decided to ban him from the country. The news portal had reported that the ministry released a statement that read, “Justin Bieber is a gifted singer, but he is also a controversial young foreign singer.” “We hope that as Justin Bieber matures, he can continue to improve his own words and actions, and truly become a singer beloved by the public,” it further read.

    It has been years since then, and Justin has made several changes in his life. The Baby singer has also opened up about his behaviour in the past and has revealed struggling with fame, especially while being a child artist.

    Earlier in April 2021, the Peaches crooner had said that he is “very influenced by black culture”. However, in the words of a fan, the singer’s recent Instagram post took him “1000 (steps) backward” with regards to his efforts against racial discrimination because Bieber is once again facing accusations of cultural appropriation over his hair.

    On Sunday, the 28-year-old singer debuted short dreadlocks on Instagram, sharing several pictures of his controversial new hairstyle that elicited both calls of racial insensitivity and praise amongst peers.

    Some Black women called Bieber’s hairstyle offensive and disrespectful and urged him to change it and apologise while others defended him, saying he can wear his hair the way he wants.

    Dreadlocks are traditionally connected to the culture and identities of Black people, and wearing them is viewed by some as cultural appropriation. Locs – which are commonly referred to as dreadlocks, a term that holds a historically negative connotation – is a style where hair locks into fused coils over time.

    Hence, it was no surprise that social media users did not go easy on Bieber. One person tweeted: “Listen Justin Bieber. I don’t care how long I’ve liked you, this is cultural appropriation and I don’t like it.”

    Fans are hurt because earlier in June, Bieber had said that he is committed to speaking up about racial injustice.

    “My style, how I sing, dance, perform, and my fashion have all been influenced and inspired by Black culture,” Bieber had said. “I am committed to using my platform this day forward to learn, to speak up about racial injustice and systemic oppression, and to identify ways to be a part of much-needed change.”

    Meanwhile, earlier in 2016, Bieber had received flak for wearing cornrows.

  • Brad Pitt sues Angelina Jolie for selling her shares without his consent

    Brad Pitt sues Angelina Jolie for selling her shares without his consent

    Brad Pitt is suing ex-wife Angelina Jolie, accusing her of illegally selling off her share of their French estate, Château Miraval.

    Pitt alleges they had agreed that neither of them would sell their share of the Chateau where they married in 2014 and its profitable vineyard without agreement from the other party.

    It is reported that Jolie sold off the venue to Russian businessman Yuri Shelfer despite “Pitt’s passion” for the property.

    The court documents, filed in Los Angeles Superior Court, state, “Jolie consummated the purported sale without Pitt’s knowledge, denying Pitt the consent right she owed him and the right of first refusal her business entity owed his.”

    “She sold her interest with the knowledge and intention that Shefler and his affiliates would seek to control the business to which Pitt had devoted himself and to undermine Pitt’s investment in Miraval.”

    Jolie, 46, and Pitt, 58, bought the estate in 2008 for $28.4 million.

  • Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt awarded joint custody of children

    Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt awarded joint custody of children

    Brangelina court drama has reached its climax as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie have been granted joint custody of their children. The couple has six children: Maddox,19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14 and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox.

    John Ouderkirk, the private judge hired to supervise the case has finally provided a decision on the dragged court battle which began in 2016 as the couple filed for divorce. BBC News reported that the ruling would “significantly increase” Pitt’s time with children.

    Maddox, the eldest, is not legally bound to the court decision.

    According to reports, Jolie is furious with the decision and will “continue the legal fight because the decision is tentative”. Jolie also has “other issues of concern” apart from joint custody and plans to challenge the court decision.

    The court battle was stretched out over several months and involved testimonies and inputs from various witnesses, therapists and experts to reach a conclusive decision. However, Jolie was furious at the judge for not allowing the children to testify in court.

    Pitt was investigated on charges of attempted child abuse which he successfully cleared out of.

    Jolie, 45, and Pitt, 57, have been embroiled in a bitter custody and divorce battle since Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, ending their jet-setting, movie star lifestyle together that made them one of Hollywood’s superstar couples. Speaking to Vogue last year, Jolie had revealed that she parted ways with Pitt for the “wellbeing” of her family.

    Soon after the couple’s split, it was revealed that Pitt was being investigated by the FBI and child welfare services in Los Angeles, related to reports he got “verbally abusive and physical with his children” on a private jet returning from Europe. A number of reports claimed that Maddox was the main focus of Pitt’s aggression on the flight. However, the Los Angeles County Department of Children and Family Services cleared Pitt in November 2016 after investigating the actor.

    Despite Pitt confessing about quitting drinking and smoking marijuana in 2017, Jolie still did not abandon legal accusations against him.

    Brangelina met on the set of the 2005 blockbuster Mr and Mrs Smith and tied the knot in 2014.

  • Brad Pitt was one of Jennifer Aniston’s favourite guest stars on ‘Friends’

    Brad Pitt was one of Jennifer Aniston’s favourite guest stars on ‘Friends’

    Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt fans were in for a surprise after Aniston named ex-husband Pitt as one of her favourite guest stars on Friends.

    Speaking to Access Hollywood about the upcoming highly-anticipated reunion, Jennifer, who played Rachel Green in the popular series, said: “Mr Pitt was wonderful. Fantastic.”

    Brad had a cameo on the Season 8 episode, The One with the Rumour. He portrayed Will Colbert in the annual Thanksgiving episode and still hated Rachel from high school, which made for an awkward dinner. At the time of his appearance, the Oscar winner was married to Aniston. The pair began dating in 1998 and exchanged vows in Malibu in 2000 before splitting in 2005.

    Apart from Jennifer, actors Courteney Cox and Lisa Kudrow also spoke about their favourite guest stars. Courteney and Lisa named Paul Rudd, Tom Selleck, Ben Stiller, Reese Witherspoon and Alec Baldwin as amazing guest stars as well.

    “I was blown away by so many,” said Kudrow when asked to name her favourite star.

    Aniston described Ben Stiller as “hysterical” and deemed Reese Witherspoon (who played her sister Jill on the show) “brilliant”.

    The special reunites Jennifer, Courteney and Lisa with co-stars David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry on screen for the first time since the sitcom ended in 2004.

    The reunion was filmed on Stage 24, on the Warner Bros. Studio lot in Burbank, California, where the show was originally shot. It was set to be filmed in 2020 but faced delays due to the coronavirus pandemic.

    It was announced last week that the reunion special will also feature a variety of guests including David Beckham, Justin Bieber, BTS, James Corden, Cindy Crawford, Cara Delevingne, Lady Gaga, Elliott Gould, Kit Harington, Larry Hankin, Mindy Kaling, Thomas Lennon, Christina Pickles, James Michael Tyler, Maggie Wheeler, and Malala Yousafzai.

  • Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s eldest son testifies against father in court

    Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s eldest son testifies against father in court

    Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s eldest son Maddox Jolie-Pitt has reportedly testified in the former couple’s divorce trial and has said not “very flattering” things about his father.

    “Maddox has already given testimony as [an] adult in the ongoing custody dispute, and it wasn’t very flattering toward Brad,” an “inside” source told Us Weekly on Thursday. “He doesn’t use Pitt as his last name on documents that aren’t legal and instead uses Jolie. Maddox wants to legally change his last name to Jolie, which Angelina has said she doesn’t support.”

    The report comes hours after Jolie reportedly told the court that she will offer “proof” at trial to support her claims of domestic violence against ex-husband. Court filings, submitted last week, indicate that Jolie and her children are willing to offer “proof and authority in support” of the abuse claims. Reports further said that Jolie said she is prepared to detail her negative experiences with Pitt, during their 10-year relationship and two-year marriage.

    Jolie and Pitt have six children. Besides, 19-year-old Maddox, there is Pax, 17, and Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 14, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 12.

    Jolie, 45, and Pitt, 57, have been embroiled in a bitter custody and divorce battle since Jolie filed for divorce in September 2016, ending their jet-setting, movie star lifestyle together that made them one of Hollywood’s superstar couples.
