Salman Objected To Malaika's Outfit In Munni Badnaam Hui, Reveals Director

As Dabangg gears up to mark its 15th anniversary, director Abhinav Kashyap has opened up about some behind-the-scenes stories from the blockbuster. One of the highlights of the film was the chartbuster item number Munni Badnaam Hui, featuring Malaika Arora. However, the director revealed that convincing Salman Khan and Arbaaz Khan to let Malaika be a part of the track wasn't easy. What's Happening Speaking to SCREEN , Abhinav Kashyap said that both Salman and Arbaaz initially had reservations about Malaika doing the number. According to him, Arbaaz wasn't comfortable with his then-wife being labelled an "item girl," while Salman raised objections over Malaika's outfits in the song. "Arbaaz and Salman, no matter whatever they say, are actually very conservative Muslims. Malaika also had her own differences with Salman over her outfits. They want their women covered up. So, they didn't want her to do the item song," the director shared. Abhi...

Elon Musk's 'MAGA' Cap Text Has Eerie Resemblance With Hitler's Nazi Font

Elon Musk, the Tesla owner, showed up on Monday, at Donald Trump's Madison Square Garden rally in a strange cap. 

The official "Make America Great Again" or "MAGA" cap is red in colour with the text in white. However the one Musk wore was black in colour with the text embroidered in an irregular font usually associated with heavy-metal bands and newspapers. 

"I'm dark gothic MAGA," Musk said.

The internet, however, has read it differently. The font on Musk's cap looks suspiciously similar to the ones used for Nazi typography or "blackletter".

According to a report by FastCompany Magazine, Cheryl Jacobsen, an adjunct professor of lettering at the University of Iowa, said that blackletter was used in Germany as a folk style for the Bible. Regardless, during the rise of Adolf Hitler, the Nazi party re-adopted the font as a sign of its nationalism. It also features on the cover of Hitler's autobiography Mein Kampf.

The font, now a relic of the past, fell into disuse after the Nazis abandoned it due to unfounded rumours of its Jewish origins.

Internet sleuths have much to say about the matter. A user on X said, "Elon posted his MAGA hat which uses the Fraktur font, popular in nazi Germany. He wore this at a rally meant to evoke the 1939 nazi rally at Madison Square Garden. He's telling you who he is." While another commented, "Stretching on this one. It's literally the Old English font. You can't cross reference the serifs."

According to the NYT, John Kelly, former President Trump's longest-serving chief of staff, made a striking statement, asserting that Donald Trump embodies the definition of a fascist. He said, "Certainly the former president is in the far-right area, he's certainly an authoritarian, admires people who are dictators - he has said that. So he certainly falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure."

Having said that, MAGA chief, Trump, said on Monday, "The newest line from Kamala and her campaign is that everyone who isn't voting for her is a Nazi," he told the crowd. "I'm not a Nazi. I'm the opposite of a Nazi."

US Reopens Lake Michigan Airspace After Closure Over "National Defense"

US officials restricted the airspace over Lake Michigan on Sunday citing a potential new threat to national security but soon reopened the skies, as the United States and Canada respond to multiple air intrusions. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced "temporary flight restrictions" over one of the Great Lakes along the US-Canada border, designating it as "national defense airspace," one day after a similar closure over Montana led to the scrambling of US fighter jets. The Montana closure was ordered over a "radar anomaly," but no object was discovered. Similarly, the Lake Michigan restrictions were lifted shortly after they were announced, apparently with no threat detected. "The FAA briefly closed some airspace over Lake Michigan to support Department of Defense activities. The airspace has been reopened," the agency said in a statement to AFP. Sunday's action over Lake Michigan marked the latest move to address a series ...

US In Touch With China Over 'Spy Balloon', Says Pentagon Official

The United States has communicated with Beijing on the alleged Chinese surveillance balloon shot down on February 4, after Pentagon overtures were rebuffed for days, a defence official said Sunday. "There have been contacts made with the PRC on the high altitude balloon," Assistant Secretary of Defense Melissa Dalton told reporters, referring to the People's Republic of China. US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin asked to speak with Chinese counterparts shortly after an Air Force fighter shot down the Chinese balloon off the US east coast after it had traversed the entire country for days. But he got no response, even though the incident prompted Secretary of State Antony Blinken to cancel a long-planned diplomatic mission to Beijing. China said Thursday it refused the offer of a call with the US defence chief because of Washington's "irresponsible" decision to shoot down the balloon. "This irresponsible and seriously mistaken approach by the US did n...
