Woman accused of shooting at Rihanna`s house pleads not guilty

The woman who was accused of opening fire at pop icon Rihanna`s home has pleaded not guilty in court.

According to PEOPLE magazine, the 35-year-old accused appeared in a Los Angeles court on Wednesday and denied all charges against her. The case is linked to a shooting incident that took place earlier this month at Rihanna`s Beverly Hills residence.

As per the outlet, the woman has been charged with serious offences, including attempted murder, multiple counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, and shooting at an occupied property. She is currently being held on a bail amount of USD 1.875 million. If found guilty, she could face life in prison.

As per officials, the accused allegedly drove to the property on March 8 and opened fire using a semiautomatic rifle. At the time of the incident, Rihanna, her partner ASAP Rocky, and their kids were inside the house. Authorities confirmed that no injuries were reported in the incident. However, one of the bullets reportedly went through a wall of the house.

Police later arrested the accused in Sherman Oaks after she fled the scene. Authorities also said her motive was still not clear. Investigators are also looking into her past social media posts, which appeared to mention the singer.

While the motive behind the crime is yet to be revealed, Rihanna has yet to speak out on the incident.

Italy hope to end World Cup pain as semifinal loom

Italy hope to end World Cup pain as semifinal loom



Italy hope to end World Cup pain as semifinal loom

Italy are hoping to end a 12-year absence from the World Cup as one of the planet`s most important footballing nations heads to the qualifying play-offs in the midst of another identity crisis. Northern Ireland come to Bergamo for what promises to be a tense semi-final on Thursday as Italy desperately try to not miss a third consecutive World Cup. Gennaro Gattuso led Italy to second in qualifying Group I and has obtained some stability for the Azzurri following the sacking of the volatile Luciano Spalletti. But two heavy defeats dished out by group winners Norway were a stark reminder of how far the national team has fallen since last winning the World Cup 20 years ago — with Gattuso in midfield. 

Since then Italy haven`t played a knockout match in a World Cup finals, dumped out in the group stage as defending champions in 2010 and four years later, before failing to even reach the last two editions in Russia and Qatar. Both of those qualification failures came via the play-offs and were deeply traumatic events to a footballing hotbed which has lost its self-esteem while rival nations like France and Spain have flourished. The poor performance of Italy`s clubs in this season`s Champions League has only exacerbated a feeling of being left behind, to the point that missing this year`s finals in the USA, Canada and Mexico would be seen almost as a death knell. “I really hope with all my heart that we can reach this goal, this group of players deserves it,” Gattuso told reporters on Monday. “We can`t stress the lads, they`re well aware of what the stakes are. There will obviously be a bit of tension but we have to make sure we trasmit positivity.”

Pressure and injuries

Gattuso has to deal not just with the pressure of the occasion but also a clutch of injuries which threaten to leave him without several important players for what he hopes will be two matches. One of Wales or Bosnia-Herzegovina await Italy in the final should they get past Northern Ireland as expected. Probably the key doubt is surrounding Sandro Tonali, who suffered a groin injury in Newcastle United`s Champions League exit at Barcelona last week. Gattuso said on Monday that he hoped to have Tonali, an all-action midfielder, available for training in the lead-up to Thursday`s match but the 25-year-old is by no means guaranteed to start. Federico Chiesa, who hasn`t featured for Italy since their dismal European Championship title defence in 2024, was dropped from the squad on Monday when Italy`s medical staff ruled him unfit to play after he was originally selected in Gattuso`s 28-man squad. 

“I had to make a decision. He didn`t feel up for it, so he decided to return home, and I had to accept it,” said Gattuso, who picked Bologna`s Nicolo Cambiaghi to replace Chiesa. “I didn`t push. When someone wants to return home, it`s right to let him do so.” Meanwhile Atalanta striker Gianluca Scamacca and central defenders Alessandro Bastoni and Gianluca Mancini are all trying to recover in time from injuries, with Gattuso also saying that Arsenal defender Riccardo Calafiori was feeling “discomfort” on his arrival at the Coverciano training centre. That leaves Gattuso hoping for a drama-free night on Thursday and his players all being ready for a date with destiny in the final.

Sunidhi Chauhan Kolkata concert: Crowd surprises singer by singing in unison

Singer Sunidhi Chauhan was back with a bang on Wednesday evening after a minor medical hiccup during her tour. The singer, who has been putting up energetic concerts in different parts of India, had earlier postponed her Kolkata show owing to a severe throat infection. The concert, which was initially scheduled for March 14, was held on March 25 in the West Bengal city.

Sunidhi faces technical snag during Kolkata concert

Clips from Sunidhi’s high-energy concert are now doing the rounds on social media. The singer was seen dressed in a red shimmery outfit for the evening. In one of the clips doing the rounds, Sunidhi is seen facing a technical snag. She informs the audience that her mic is not functioning. She then switches to a handheld mic and sings the first few lines of her song Parda from the 2010 film Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai.

She then pauses to fix her collar mic. During this time, the audience starts singing the rest of the lines in unison, taking the show forward. Sunidhi is visibly overwhelmed and surprised at the turn of events as she watches the audience sing along. A staff member soon comes on stage to help fix the collar mic, and the show resumes.

However, this little moment, where the audience didn’t let the glitch disrupt the concert, is being widely loved by netizens.

Why Sunidhi Chauhan rescheduled Kolkata concert

Earlier in March, Sunidhi revealed that she was suffering from a throat infection and was not fit to perform. The singer also updated ticket holders on the rescheduling.

She wrote on Instagram, “Dear Kolkata, as some of you may be aware via clips from my last show in Lucknow, I am regretfully suffering from a severe throat infection and, on my doctor’s advice of complete vocal rest, I have had to take the difficult decision of rescheduling the March 14 ‘I AM HOME’ concert to March 25 to allow full recovery and give you all the performance you deserve.”

She added that the tour has been receiving immense love across the country and assured fans that existing tickets would remain valid for the new date.

Iran on Thursday said that, despite ongoing military escalation in the Middle East, it has allowed transit through the Strait of Hormuz for “friendly nations,” including India.Access to the conflict-hit Strait of Hormuz for India comes as New Delhi, according to a Bloomberg report, has purchased its first LPG cargo from Iran since 2018. Imports had come to a halt in 2019 after the West imposed sanctions on Iran.

Across the region and beyond, civilians are enduring serious harm and living under profound insecurity. The UN is working to minimise the consequences of the war. And the best way to minimise those consequences is clear: end the war immediately.”The UN chief also urged US-Israel and Iran to end the ongoing military escalation.“My message to the US & Israel is that it’s high time to end the war – as human suffering deepens, civilian casualties mount & the global economic impact is increasingly devastating. My message to Iran is to stop attacking their neighbours that are not parties to the conflict,” he said.“My message to the US and Israel is that it is high time to end the war, as human suffering deepens, civilian casualties mount, and the global economic impact becomes increasingly devastating.

The strong retaliatory action by Tehran regime included the choking of key waterway in the Gulf, with fears that any disruption could effectively choke global energy flows.

Images of Ranveer smoking while wearing turban in 'Dhurandhar 2' fabricated: Aditya Dhar


Mumbai, Filmmaker Aditya Dhar on Thursday said the images of Ranveer Singh’s character smoking while wearing a turban are “completely untrue” and fabricated to create mischief.

Dhar also warned that such manipulation of the images will be “dealt with firmly”.

The filmmaker, who is basking in the glory of the film’s massive success on the big screen, said he is grateful and indebted for the overwhelming love that “Dhurandhar: The Revenge”, the second part of his espionage saga has received from the audiences across the country and the world.

“However, it has come to my attention that certain individuals are circulating manipulated visuals, by morphing officially released promotional material using artificial intelligence to create false and misleading narratives.

“One such fabricated image falsely depicts the character Hamza/Jaskirat smoking while wearing a turban. This is completely untrue and does not form part of the film or any official material released by us. It is a deliberate act of misrepresentation intended to provoke and create mischief,” Dhar said in a statement.

The filmmaker’s statement comes after a police complaint was filed against the makers and the actor for the image which shows Ranveer Singh’s character smoking while wearing a turban.

Dhar said he wanted to state this “unequivocally” that he holds the highest respect for the Sikh community.

“And every portrayal in the film has been handled with utmost sensitivity, dignity, and responsibility. Any attempt to suggest otherwise through any doctored content is malicious and dishonest.

“I urge audiences to rely only on official content and watch the film as it is intended, and not fall prey to Al-generated misinformation being circulated with ulterior motives,” he said in the statement.

A Mumbai-based Sikh organisation had raised objection to the images of Ranveer’s character smoking while in turban and also a scene where R Madhavan’s character recites verses from Guru Granth Sahib, which they said happens while he is smoking.

Madhavan issued a clarification on Wednesday to say that Dhar was very careful during the filming of the scene and his character puts out the cigarette before saying those lines.

“Dhurandhar: The Revenge” released on March 19 and has already crossed the mark of ₹900 crore at the global box office, according to industry tracking site Sacnilk.

Featuring Ranveer in the lead role, the film is a follow-up to Dhar’s 2025 release “Dhurandhar”, which went on to earn over ₹1,000 crore at the box office worldwide.

The sequel charts the rise of Singh’s character Hamza Ali Mazari in the Karachi underworld while also delving into his origins as Jaskirat Singh Rangi, tracing the journey of the young man who eventually transforms into the covert operative.

IPL 2026: Pat Cummins joins SRH squad, outlines return timeline after back injury

IPL 2026: Pat Cummins joins SRH squad, outlines return timeline after back injury


Sunrisers Hyderabad skipper Pat Cummins has begun his road to recovery, with the Australian pace spearhead joining the team’s training session at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday, March 25.

Cummins, who is nursing a back injury, kept his workload light during the session. The 32-year-old focused on warm-up routines, participated in fielding and catching drills, and bowled a few deliveries with a shortened run-up in an empty net, signaling a gradual return to bowling rhythm.

The Australia Test and ODI captain has been sidelined for much of the past year due to a lumbar stress injury sustained after the Caribbean tour last July. Since then, he has featured in just one international match – the Adelaide Test against England in December – and also missed Australia’s underwhelming campaign at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup.

With IPL 2026 around the corner, Cummins has confirmed that he will miss the initial phase of the tournament but is optimistic about returning midway through the season.

“I’m still recovering from a back injury, but it’s good. I’m back bowling in the nets,” Cummins said on the Business of Sport podcast.

“The IPL is starting soon. I won’t make the start of that, but it shouldn’t be too long before I’m back out there playing.

I’m bowling basically every third day at the moment. We’ve mapped out a plan to get me right by the middle of the tournament, so hopefully, if nothing goes wrong, I can play the back half plus the finals.”

In his absence, wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan has been named Sunrisers Hyderabad’s stand-in captain for the early part of the season.

Cummins’ return will be crucial not just for SRH but also for Australia, who have a packed international calendar later this year. The side is scheduled to host Bangladesh for a two-Test series in August before touring South Africa for a three-match Test series, which also serves as part of the ongoing World Test Championship cycle.

Australia will then play a white-ball series in South Africa before returning home for a marquee four-Test series against New Zealand in the summer.
