The Met Gala, a pinnacle event in the world of fashion, is not just about the glitz and glamour on the red carpet; it’s a carefully orchestrated affair with its own set of rules! E! News recently obtained an interview where Met curator Andrew Bolton shared insights into what could lead to a celebrity’s exclusion from future galas. During a candid conversation on CBS This Morning last May, Anna Wintour, Vogue’s editor-in-chief, and Bolton revealed two cardinal rules: no smoking and no touching the artwork. Bolton emphasised, “Those would be no-nos,” recalling past incidents where stars flouted the rules, including…

While straight action films like John Wick are far from extinct, it’s the action comedies that tend to become the popular box office hits. Movie fans just love to laugh at the funny parts while enjoying the accompanying action. Not every action comedy is created equal, and Hollywood has admittedly gone to the well with the buddy-cop movies a little bit too often. This weekend, The Fall Guy is the latest action comedy to attempt to give the genre some fresh blood, even though it’s technically based on a TV series from the ’80s that has largely been forgotten. Regardless,…

The Roads and Transport Authority’s (RTA) Umm Ramool and Al Barsha centres will operate on “a partial closure basis” as work begins to transform them into smart, hybrid hubs.

Japan’s hopes of pulling off an unprecedented global Derby treble were cruelly denied when Forever Young was narrowly beaten to third place in a spectacular 150th Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on Saturday. The Japanese-bred son of Real Steel, who won the Saudi Derby and UAE Derby (G2) earlier this year, saw his chances suffer a significant setback when he was bumped by second-placed Sierra Leone in the crucial final two furlongs of the historic race. Jockey Brian Hernandez Jr. had no such worries aboard Mystik Dan who travelled smoothly alongside the inside rail to hold on for the narrowest…

On March 15, 2015, the most infamous hot mic moment ever to air on television shocked the world. Real estate scion Robert Durst, who had been implicated, but had thus far escaped justice in three murders committed from 1982 to 2003, inexplicably agreed to sit for a series of interviews with filmmaker Andrew Jarecki. The director had made a fictional feature film, All Good Things, that was loosely based on the disappearance of Durst’s first wife, Kathie, starring Barbie actor Ryan Gosling and Civil War‘s Kirsten Dunst. Confronted, finally, with near-irrefutable evidence collected by Jarecki’s team that seemed to implicate Durst…

Two major accidents were caught on the Abu Dhabi Police’s road cameras — and both were caused by drivers who beat the red light. In the 49-second clip that the police shared, one sedan is seen speeding through the intersection, even though the red signal was on. Since it was time for vehicles on the other side of the road to move and turn left, the sedan crashed into a pickup truck. The impact was so strong that the second driver lost control, causing the vehicle to smash into a road barrier. Stay up to date with the latest news.…

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hardened his rejection of Hamas demands for an end to the Gaza war in exchange for the freeing of hostages. He said on Sunday that an end to the war would keep Hamas in power and pose a threat to Israel. Netanyahu said Israel was willing to pause fighting in Gaza in order to secure the release of hostages still being held by Hamas, believed to number more than 130. “But while Israel has shown willingness, Hamas remains entrenched in its extreme positions, first among them the demand to remove all our forces from the…

Dubai-based Spaniard Adrian Otaegui overturned a five-shot deficit thanks to a brilliant final round of 65 to secure victory at the $2.25 million Volvo China Open by one stroke on the DP World Tour. In-form Sebastian Söderberg was aiming to seal a wire-to-wire victory at Hidden Grace Golf Club, which had been reduced to 54 holes after Saturday’s third round was cancelled due to thunder and lightning in the Shenzhen area. However, the Swede struggled on Sunday as Otaegui produced a flawless display and back-to-back birdies from the 16th saw him hit the front for the first time at 18 under par. Söderberg…
