      Khloé Kardashian denies posting warped photoshopped Instagram snap

      3 hours ago

      The Kardashian-Jenners are no strangers of being accused of photoshopping their Instagram snaps every now and then, but it’s not often you’ll ever see the family entertaining the claims.
      However, it appears for Khloé Kardashian enough is enough.
      A photo emerged of the reality star in her hotel room in Paris, where she had travelled for fashion week, where Kardashian is posing, but some parts of the photo look incredibly warped, leading many to accuse her of photoshopping herself.
      The same photo was also posted on Kardashian’s makeup artist Ash Kolm’s Instagram page, but was seemingly unaltered, further fuelling speculation the 38-year-old had photoshopped herself.

      But it seems, according to Kardashian, the photoshopped image in question was never posted to her Instagram.
      “I never even posted this photo,” she responded to a fan on Twitter. “Maybe my glam did but I didn’t. Also I mean… The bent lines in the back lol please.”
      In a follow-up Twitter post, Kardashian clarified the statement about her glam team.

      Wait not sayin my glam did that either in just saying I didn’t post this photo on my page. Where’s the receipts that I did lol people are so weird
      — Khloé (@khloekardashian) October 5, 2022

      “Wait not saying my glam did that either,” she said. “[I’m] just saying I didn’t post this photo on my page. Where’s the receipts that I did lol [?] People are so weird.”
      It’s not the first time Kardashian has been accused of photoshopping her Instagram photos, but it may be the first time she’s been accused of sharing a photo she allegedly never posted in the first place.
      The internet loves to stir the pot…

      Malala Yousafzai has called out Hollywood for its lack of Muslim representation

      by

      Lifestyle

      2 hours ago

      Malala Yousafzai is no stranger to speaking out about what’s right.
      As the 25-year-old activist continues to use her platform for good, Yousafzai took the opportunity when being honoured at the prestigious Variety Power of Women event in Los Angeles to highlight the major lack of diversity in Hollywood television and films.
      “In the last year I have learnt a lot, and much of it was not surprising,” Yousafzai said during her speech, calling out just how underrepresented Muslims and Asians are in the mainstream.
      “I learned that Asian people like me make up less than four per cent of leads in Hollywood films,” she continued. “Muslims are 25 per cent of the population, but only one per cent of characters in popular TV series.
      “Behind the camera, the statistics for black and brown creators are even worse.”

      Yousafzai went on to criticise Hollywood bigshots for passing on many projects in which “they thought the characters or their creators were too young, too brown, too foreign, too poor”.
      Other women recognised at the event included Oprah Winfrey, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, Hillary and Chelsea Clinton and Elizabeth Olsen.
      Yousafzai rose to global prominence in 2012 after being shot in the head by Taliban gunmen as she boarded her school bus in north-west Pakistan.
      The teen first became a target for the regime after defying a ban issued in 2009 forbidding girls to go to school and penning an anonymous blog for the BBC highlighting life under Taliban rule with a personal emphasis on women’s right to education.
      She went on to become the youngest person ever to Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, being just 17-years-old. The human rights activist then began her studies at Oxford University in 2017.
      She now continues to advocate for the rights of girls globally to receive a full education.

      Emirates unveils its enhanced flight network with ‘historic agreement’

      18 mins ago

      Dubai carrier Emirates has unveiled an enhanced flight network after signing a “historical commercial agreement” with US-based airline United.
      In a statement released via the Dubai Media Office, the two airlines announced a codeshare and interline agreement to enhance each airline’s network.
      “Emirates and United announced a historic commercial agreement today that will enhance each airline’s network and give their customers easier access to hundreds of new destinations within the United States and around the world,” the statement read.
      From November, Emirates customers flying into Chicago, San Francisco, and Houston – three of the biggest business hubs in the U.S – will be able to easily connect to United flights to and from nearly 200 cities across the Americas on a single ticket.
      From November, Emirates customers flying into Chicago, San Francisco, and Houston will be able to connect onto United flights to and from nearly 200 cities across the Americas on a single ticket, a statement said. At other US airports served by Emirates, namely Boston, Dallas, LA, Miami, JFK, Orlando, Seattle and Washington DC – both airlines will have an interline arrangement in place.

      Meanwhile, United will launch a new direct flight between Newark and Dubai, starting March 2023. From Dubai, passengers will be able to travel on Emirates or flydubai to more than 100 cities.
      The airlines said that tickets for United’s new Dubai flight are now on sale. However, codeshare activities and United’s new flight to the emirate are subject to government approvals.
      Customers of both airlines will soon be able to book connecting flights on a single ticket, easing check-in and luggage transfer. The agreement will also grant loyalty programme members of both airlines additional reward opportunities.
      Emirates Skywards members can soon earn miles when they travel on United-operated flights, and United Mileage Plus members flying on United’s New York/Newark to Dubai flight will be able to earn and redeem miles when connecting beyond on Emirates and flydubai, the statement added. Eligible customers travelling on codeshare flights will also be able to enjoy access to Emirates and United lounges.
      Sir Tim Clark, president of Emirates Airline, said: “Two of the biggest, and best-known airlines in the world are joining hands to fly people better to more places, at a time when travel demand is rebounding with a vengeance. It’s a significant partnership that will unlock tremendous consumer benefits and bring the United Arab Emirates and the United States even closer.
      “We welcome United’s return to Dubai next year, where our hub Dubai essentially becomes a gateway for United to reach Asia, Africa and the Middle East via the combined network of Emirates and flydubai.”
      “This agreement unites two iconic, flag carrier airlines who share a common commitment to creating the best customer experience in the skies,” added Scott Kirby, CEO of United Airlines. “United’s new flight to Dubai and our complementary networks will make global travel easier for millions of our customers, helping boost local economies and strengthen cultural ties.”
      Both airlines have recently announced significant investments to enhance their fleet and bolster customer service. Emirates will retrofit more than 120 aircraft as part of a $2bn overhaul.
      The Dubai-based carrier also announced recently that is investing over $350m to equip its 50-strong fleet of A350s with next-generation inflight entertainment solutions.
      Meanwhile, United will add 500 new Boeing and Airbus aircraft to its fleet with a focus on a new signature interior, the carrier added.

      Lebanese dance group Mayyas has made their country proud by winning season 17 of America’s Got Talent.
      The female-led dance group took a $1 million (Dhs3.7 million) grand prize, with a host of congratulatory messages being shared on social media from the likes of celebrities such as Lebanese singer Maya Diab, Egyptian superstar Sherihan and more.

      With immaculate synchronisation, the team managed to effortlessly pull off a seamless dance performance as 30 women “danced as one”, in the words of the actress and judge, Sophia Vergara.
      All four judges including Vergara, Simon Cowell Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel gave the dancers a standing ovation to congratulate them for their award-winning finale performance.
      They wowed the judges and audience during the finale as each element was carefully considered including the sparkling globes of light and white feathered outfits.
      Even Cowell’s critique-driven nature translated into a positive remark after the performance ended as it was beyond “astonishing” for him.

      The performance ended on a joyous note with the audience holding up the Lebanese flag as they cheered for the crew.
      After delivering a series of back-to-back breathtaking performances, the group showcased various dance styles including a hypnotic dance routine.
      With a passion for dance, the group assembled approximately four years ago and after months of hard work and practice the Mayyas has put their name on the international dance scene with strong backing from their fans back home.

      ‘You are already sorely missed’: Prince Harry’s heartfelt tribute to the Queen

      Prince Harry has made a heartfelt tribute to his beloved grandmother, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, following her death last week.
      The Duke of Sussex paid homage to the late monarch on behalf of himself and his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex in a harrowing statement.
      Referring to her as “granny”, the 36-year-old paid tribute to the Queen, who died aged 96, sharing his admiration for her “unwavering grace and dignity remained true throughout her life and now her everlasting legacy”.
      Prince Harry went on to say that while his grandmother’s death brought on “great sadness”, he was grateful for the times they were able to cherish together when he was growing up, and as a married man and father-of-two.

      “Granny, while this final parting brings us great sadness, I am forever grateful for all of our first meetings—from my earliest childhood memories with you, to meeting you for the first time as my Commander-in-Chief, to the first moment you met my darling wife and hugged your beloved great-grandchildren,” he said. “I cherish these times shared with you, and the many other special moments in between.
      “You are already sorely missed, not just by us, but by the world over.”
      The Duke of Sussex also went on to affirm his support for his father as the new monarch, saying, “And as it comes to first meetings, we now honour my father in his new role as King Charles III.”
      “Thank you for your commitment to service,” he continued. “Thank you for your sound advice. Thank you for your infectious smile. We, too, smile knowing that you and grandpa are reunited now, and both together in peace.”
      Prince Harry’s statement came after he reunited with his brother, Prince William, publicly for the first time since 2021, appearing on the grounds of Windsor Castle with his wife, Meghan Markle and sister-in-law Kate Middleton, who is now the Princess of Wales.
