    From Nicola to Hadid sisters, Hollywood celebs donate millions for Palestinians

    In a heartwarming display of solidarity, US supermodel sisters Bella and Gigi Hadid joined Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan in generously donating for families impacted by the Gaza genocide. Bella, Gigi, and Nicola’s combined contributions total $2.2 million, offering crucial support through humanitarian organizations and the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.


    The Hadid sisters’ donation will be split equally among Heal Palestine, Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, World Central Kitchen, and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency. These organizations provide food, medical aid, psychological services, and support for displaced families in Gaza.


    Bella and Gigi Hadid, daughters of Palestinian property tycoon Mohamed Anwar Hadid, have always supported the Palestinian cause. Bella recently shared her heartbreak over the “devastating loss of the Palestinian people” in an Instagram post.


    Bella also highlighted her commitment to Palestine by wearing a dress made from keffiyeh, a traditional Palestinian cloth, at the Cannes Film Festival. She called it “a beautiful way to represent the history and resilience of Palestinian culture.”


    Nicola Coughlan, star of the popular Netflix series Bridgerton, has raised $1.2 million (£1.01 million) for the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund (PCRF) through a social media campaign.


    Known for her role as Penelope Hetherington, Coughlan used her platform to support humanitarian causes, especially those affecting children in genocide zones. Her campaign received much support, and she shared the news on Instagram.


    Coughlan thanked everyone who contributed, saying, “I’m overwhelmed by the amount raised so far and very grateful to everyone who has shared it. Please continue to do so if you can.”


    The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund confirmed that the fundraiser attracted donations from Coughlan herself and 82,794 other supporters worldwide.

    Salman Khan fan detained after reaching actor’s residence to marry him

    A woman was detained after she arrived outside Bollywood star Salman Khan’s Panvel farmhouse to meet and marry him.


    Indian media reported that the woman, claiming to be a die-hard fan of the Wanted star, was constantly heard saying she wanted to marry the actor.


    While Khan was not at his residence as he is currently in Italy for Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant’s pre-wedding bash, locals alerted the police who detained her outside the farmhouse.


    The incident came to light at the same time that reports have stated that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has planned another attack on Salman Khan, reportedly at his Panvel farmhouse.


    The woman, from Delhi, was later handed over to an NGO for counseling.


    An official at the NGO said that the fan was brought to the shelter home on May 22 and was found in a serious condition. “She refused to listen to us and wanted to marry Khan. She was fully in love with his screen image,” he added.


    The woman was then referred to a local hospital for psychiatric treatment. At the same time, the authorities also called her mother from Delhi, who took her daughter back home after eight days of therapy and counseling.


    Meanwhile, the woman said. “After coming to Panvel and undergoing all this (treatment), I have realized that I was wrong. He (Salman) is living his own life, and is not the same as what he does in films,” she added.

    Speak up for Gaza: Malala wants to share stories from Palestine after being part of ‘We Are Lady Parts’

    In the second episode of the new season of ‘We Are Lady Parts,’ viewers got a big surprise: a guest appearance by women’s rights activist Malala Yousafzai.


    The Channel 4 comedy follows an all-women Muslim punk band trying to make it big. The main characters, Amina, Saira, Ayesha, Momtaz, and Bisma, are the show’s heart. Malala, the youngest Nobel Prize winner in history, made a special appearance, stunning the audience.


    In the episode, Bisma’s daughter, Imani, is suspended for throwing eggs at a teacher who removed slavery from the curriculum. She tells her mother, “I did what Malala would do.” This inspired the band to write ‘Malala Made Me Do It,’ with lyrics praising Malala’s bravery.


    Malala appears in a fantasy scene, wearing a beaded dress and a crystal-studded cowboy hat, riding a fake horse in a western-themed setting.
    Malala shared her experience with Vogue, revealing she is a fan of the show. She praised its representation of Muslim characters as leads. At a film premiere, she met the show’s creator, Nida Manzoor, and expressed her admiration for the series. When Manzoor suggested the cameo, Malala was unsure but agreed after seeing the team’s preparations.


    On filming day, Malala enjoyed the experience, from the costume fittings to horse riding with a ladder’s help. She appreciated the detailed costume design, which included a custom dupatta.


    Malala also spoke passionately about global issues, especially the crisis in Gaza, calling for humanitarian aid and peace. She emphasized the importance of shows like “We Are Lady Parts” in connecting people through stories.


    Reflecting on her cameo and the song ‘Malala Made Me Do It,’ Malala expressed pride in its message about education and speaking out. She hopes the new season brings joy to viewers and highlights the importance of humanizing and connecting with others.


    Malala also mentioned her role as an executive producer on the documentary ‘Bread and Roses,’ which focuses on Afghan women fighting for their rights since the fall of Kabul. She hopes the film will raise awareness and support women’s rights in Afghanistan.
