Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh now goes by a new name
Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter, Shiloh, seems to have acquired a new moniker after dropping "Pitt" from her surname.
The 19-year-old made an appearance at a fashion dinner in Los Angeles on May 29, according to People magazine.
The event was hosted to celebrate a new fashion line by Isabel Marant and Net-A-Porter. Shiloh served as the choreographer for singer Luella's performance of her new single, Naive, at the event.
A press release for the event referred to her by her new name, Shi Joli, marking a new chapter in her public and artistic life, the outlet reported.
This comes after a legal decision in 2023 allowed Shiloh to drop "Pitt" from her last name. She filed to make the change on her 18th birthday in May 2024.
Shiloh has been passionate about dance and performance for several years. Last year, choreographer Kolanie Marks shared a video of her dancing, praising her dedication. He also joked on Instagram, calling himself her "adopted uncle."
Jolie and Pitt reached a divorce settlement in December 2024 after an eight-year legal battle.
The former spouses share six children: Maddox Chivan, 23; Pax Thien, 21; Zahara Marley, 20; Shiloh Nouvel, 18; and twins Knox Leon and Vivienne Marcheline, 16, reported People.

US judge schedules Lockerbie bombing suspect's trial for April 2026
The US judge overseeing the case of Lockerbie bombing suspect Abu Agila Mohammad Masud has set jury selection for April 20, 2026. Judge Dabney Friedrich acknowledged the ' complicated nature ' and 'voluminous discovery of evidence' in the case surrounding the 1988 attack that resulted in the explosion of a Pan Am flight and the deaths of 270 people in Scotland. Mr Masud, 73, limped into court and donned headphones to listen to the status conference in Arabic. He looked straight ahead for the whole proceedings, never glancing at victims' families, who took up several rows of court seats. He didn't appear to communicate with his court-appointed lawyer during proceedings. In 2023, Mr Masud pleaded not guilty in connection to one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in UK and US history. Only one other person, former Libyan intelligence officer Abdelbaset Al Megrahi, has been convicted for the bombing. After his conviction in 2001, Megrahi spent seven years in a Scottish prison, but he was eventually released on compassionate grounds and died in Libya in 2012. In 2003, Libya claimed responsibility for the attack that brought down the plane. The US government filed charges against Mr Masud in 2020, but it took more than two years to extradite him from Libya. Mr Masud's health problems, lawyer changes and logistical problems have caused the trial planning to move at a snail's pace. A court transcript seen by The National show the methodical nature of the case. At least three depositions of foreign citizens will have to take place outside the US before the trial begins, according to the court transcript. Though specifics are not disclosed, ways of potentially dealing with Mr Masud's health problems are also discussed. His court-appointed lawyers have promised to provide updates about his medical condition to better prevent any delays. In court on Thursday, Judge Friedrich emphasised the need to stay on schedule. 'I want this to be aggressive,' she said, referring to trial planning dates and schedule preparations. Mr Masud's lawyer told the judge that although there is 'some disagreement' about the extent of his medical problems, both defence and prosecutors are on the same page about how to deal with it going forward. All 259 people on board the Pan Am flight died in the attack and 11 people were killed on the ground by falling debris on December 21, 1988, shortly after the plane took off from London bound for New York. Of the victims, 190 were US citizens, along with people from the UK and Argentina, India, South Africa and Spain, among others.

UAE: Why body image dissatisfaction peaks during summer
For the past two years, Sarah*, a 39-year-old executive assistant at a professional service firm, has been actively unlearning the harsh body image standards she once accepted. 'I grew up at the peak of thin culture in the 90s and 00s in the US,' she said. 'So there's not a fad diet I haven't tried to lose weight.' But as she got older, when after her extreme dieting patterns and preoccupation with her body led her to seek professional help, she came to realise there was nothing wrong with her body at all. She'd simply been chasing beauty trends. 'First thin was in, then a more curvy shape became popular, and now it's all about being fit and lean. I got sick of trying to force my body to meet impossible standards. So I went to therapy where I was diagnosed with body dysmorphia and I'm learning how to manage my body image dissatisfaction,' she added. By her account, Sarah was making real progress. But every summer, like clockwork, when her Instagram feed floods with influencers pushing 'summer body' makeovers, she feels herself slipping back into old habits; comparing, criticising, and questioning how far she's really come. 'It's not just on social media, and it's not just me,' explained the Dubai-resident. 'It's all my friends can talk about too. If they could just lose five kilos, they say, they'd finally feel good in their skin.' 'It's really hard not to internalise that. I know better, but being constantly bombarded with messages saying you have to look a certain way, it's hard not to feel like your worth still depends on being smaller, fitter, more toned.' Sarah's experience isn't unique. In fact, it echoes a broader pattern — one that researchers say intensifies with the seasons. A recent study by the Global Digital Wellbeing Program (Sync), part of the King Abdulaziz Centre for World Culture in Saudi Arabia, analysed over 12 million Twitter/X posts and identified clear seasonal patterns in body image dissatisfaction. Drawing on data from 1,534 users in the UK, USA, Australia, and New Zealand between 2020 and 2023, the study found that dissatisfaction consistently peaked during the summer months in both hemispheres. 'This work points to a predictable recurring seasonal rhythm in how people feel about their bodies, in a large part amplified by social media platforms,' said lead author Dr Justin Thomas. 'These findings might apply to the Gulf if we consider that for some residents, summer also equals vacation time. It might even be that for some Gulf residents, there is also a winter spike during the months of October-February, in that this is the beach season here as the temperature is more tolerable.' The study has been peer-reviewed and will be presented at this year's British Psychological Society annual conference (Cyber Psychology section). It was led by Dr Justin Thomas and co-authored by Alex Wells, Rana Samad, and Yasmin Al Jedawi, researchers at The Digital Wellbeing Program (Sync) at the King Abdulaziz Centre for World Culture (Ithra); and Dr Dahlia Al Juboori (Johns Hopkins University), and Timothy Regan (Uniformed Services University). It represents one of the most comprehensive investigations into seasonal body image dissatisfaction to date. On how this type of research appies to the Gulf, Dr Thomas said: 'Further research is required to explore how seasonality might impact body image in climates like the UAE and in places where modesty in dress remains a well-respected social norm.' To that point, Sarah, a practising Muslim who wears the hijab, argued that no woman is immune to the pressure. Beauty ideals, she says, find other ways to reach you. 'Just because I [dress modestly] doesn't mean I'm not affected,' said Sarah. 'The pressure just shifts. It's less about showing skin and more about having the 'right' body underneath. You still feel like you're being measured against a standard, even if no one sees it.' 'There are other times of the year — like Eid or before the wedding season — that the algorithm pushes unhelpful weight loss content and it really affects me negatively.' According to Dr Al Juboori, senior research assistant at Johns Hopkins University and co-author of the study, Sarah's experience further contextualises the study's findings. Holidays that revolve around food or appearance-focused traditions are peak periods for heightened body image concerns. 'We observe a 'perfect storm' where seasonal shifts intensify exposure to idealised body images through media and peer interactions,' she explains. Because body image dissatisfaction is a known risk factor for eating disorders — the mental health condition with the highest mortality rate — it's crucial for clinicians to recognise these patterns and adjust their interventions accordingly. 'Clinicians in multicultural regions like the Gulf should consider the local cultural calendar and climate when designing interventions that are both emotionally resonant and contextually relevant,' she continued. 'Approaches such as media literacy training, cognitive restructuring, and guided discussions around upward social comparisons can help individuals build resilience against these pressures.' 'Social media literacy is especially crucial, as passive consumption of appearance-focused content has been shown to increase BID (body image disorder) via indirect comparison mechanisms.' The study concludes that public health campaigns targeting body image and eating disorders might be most effective if timed to mitigate these high-risk periods. 'Therapy helped me a lot,' Sarah said. 'It taught me to understand that healing isn't a straight line. I can work through the root of my body image issues and feel OK, but that doesn't mean I won't get triggered again — by ads, by the noise around how women 'should' look, especially at certain times of the year. At those times, I practise being more mindful and more critical of the content I consume. And I've learned some helpful tools to maintain resilience.' It's a work in progress, she admits, but one that's rooted in self-compassion, not perfection. 'I just want women, and men, to know there's no one 'right' way to look. I'm still learning that, even if I slip back into old patterns sometimes.'

Thunder, Pacers open battle in search of first NBA title
The Oklahoma City Thunder are in the NBA Finals for the first time since 2012. The Indiana Pacers haven't been to the finals since 2000. Neither has ever won an NBA title, but one will hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy in 2025. The final step there begins Thursday when the teams square off in Game 1 in Oklahoma City. "I haven't really wrapped my head around the fact that I'm in the finals," Thunder third-year star Jalen Williams said. "... It's definitely a blessing that we're here and I try not to get too caught up in it because we still have a job to do." The teams are tied together through Paul George. The Pacers' and Thunder's trades of George helped chart their path to these finals. First, in July 2017, Indiana traded George to Oklahoma City for Victor Oladipo and Domantas Sabonis. In February 2022, the Pacers traded Sabonis as part of a package that brought them Tyrese Haliburton -- a cornerstone piece to this run. Oklahoma City's haul from its own George trade has been even more impactful to its current roster. After two All-Star seasons with the Thunder, George asked to be traded to the Los Angeles Clippers. Oklahoma City acquired not only Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, this season's NBA leading scorer and Most Valuable Player, but also the draft pick that was used to select Williams. Gilgeous-Alexander has turned into the Thunder's biggest offensive weapon -- he's averaging 31.6 points in Oklahoma City's 12 playoff wins -- but also their overall tone-setter. "Just has an 'I'm-gonna-get-it-done' mentality," Williams said. "I think it's rubbed off on the rest of the team." While the Thunder have seemingly been destined to reach the finals, going 68-14 in the regular season to win the Western Conference going away, Indiana's path has been much less straightforward. The Pacers were under .500 as late as early January before turning things around and finishing as the No. 4 seed in the Eastern Conference. "We started rocky but we just stayed steady and kept being ourselves and we just kept getting better," Indiana's Pascal Siakam said. In the playoffs, though, Indiana has been plenty dominant, beating the Bucks in five games, top-seed Cleveland in five games, and the Knicks in six to advance to their first finals since Reggie Miller starred for the franchise. The Thunder swept the two meetings during the regular season, the most recent a 132-111 victory in Oklahoma City on March 29. Much like it did during the regular season, the Thunder's defense has set the tone. Oklahoma City's 104.7 defensive rating -- points allowed per 100 possessions -- is tops in the NBA during the playoffs. The Pacers have shown plenty of offensive firepower, with a 117.7 offensive rating in 16 playoff games -- behind only Cleveland's 122.6 and ahead of Oklahoma City's 115.9.. "There's no shortcuts to beating this team," Haliburton said of the Thunder. Indiana had an adventurous trip to Oklahoma City. The Pacers' plane had to stop in Tulsa, Okla., due to storms in the Oklahoma City area, though it finally was able to land Tuesday night.
