"There are days when I feel absolutely blessed and lucky to be in the company of the greats - powerhouse artists and the purest of souls. This night was all about music, poetry, and Faiz," Amar wrote, expressing her deep admiration for the artists she posted photos with.
Even Nadia Jamil reflected on the night as she shared a collection of photos with "soul sister" Nandita on Instagram. "What a fun, love-filled day of catching up and connecting. Time flowed effortlessly. I realised I need to find a way to go to India to meet my loved ones more often!" she wrote.
"Some relationships and people are too precious. From khussas to trying on Kabuli jewellery to matching outfits, and homemade food, lemongrass tea, meeting the kids and listening to their life stories, and Nuri's singing. Not enough time. I wish we lived closer. Love you, beautiful friend," she concluded.
The Faiz Festival also invited the support of notable artists, such as Usman Peerzada, Samina Peerzada, and Atul Tiwari. In a post shared to Instagram on Wednesday, Nandita expressed her enthusiasm at attending an event that brings together artists from both sides of the border, "Art and artists can heal and build bridges even when there are deep wounds and opaque walls."
Followers were in awe of the surprise meetup, expressing fondness for each actor in the comments section. "So much talent in a single frame!" a user enthused, whereas others noted that the photo was brimming with power and beauty.

Biebergate2025: Justin Bieber impersonator performs at Las Vegas club after nightclub mix-up
Justin Bieber was announced on stage at a Las Vegas nightclub last weekend, but the performer was not the Grammy award-winning artist. Instead, the singer who joined DJ Gryffin at XS Nightclub inside Wynn Las Vegas on August 16 was a Bieber impersonator. The DJ posted a video on Instagram explaining how he had been told that Bieber was at the venue and wanted to perform. 'His 'team' said he wanted to perform 'Sorry,'' a caption in the video read. Gryffin added that the look-alike not only resembled Bieber but also 'sounded like Justin Bieber.' The DJ later captioned the clip 'biebergate2025.' Wynn Las Vegas confirmed the mix-up in a statement. 'After an elaborate and multi-step ruse by him and his advance team, a Justin Bieber impersonator was granted access to the XS stage. As soon as the error was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry.' Footage showed the impersonator, with short hair, sunglasses and tattoos, singing the hit single 'Sorry' while Gryffin told the crowd, 'Bieber in the house, y'all.' After the performance, Gryffin was told the person on stage was not Bieber. 'No way,' he said, before being assured, 'Swear on my life.' The impersonator was later identified as French performer Dylan Desclos. His manager Julien Colas said in a statement that Desclos never claimed to be the real Bieber. Desclos allegedly ran up a $10,000 tab at the bar before being removed and permanently banned.

‘Christian Girl Autumn' influencer Caitlin Covington teary-eyed as she announces no fall videos this year
Influencer Caitlin Covington—widely recognized online as 'Christian Girl Autumn'—appears to be stepping away from her hallmark seasonal content this year. In a recent TikTok clip, Covington grew emotional while explaining she will not be posting her traditional fall videos, a move that left many fans surprised and concerned. On Reddit, one commenter described the video by saying she seemed 'legitimately torn up' to share the news. 'Christian Girl Autumn' influencer Caitlin Covington breaks down crying while announcing that she won't be posting fall videos this year. — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) August 20, 2025 Covington first gained viral fame in 2019 when a tweet joking that 'Hot Girl Summer' was ending and 'Christian Girl Autumn' was beginning unexpectedly turned her into the internet's 'face of fall.' Since then, she has embraced the role, building an audience of over 1.3 million Instagram followers with her autumn-focused content, from outfit styling to carefully curated trips to New England for foliage-filled backdrops. Her influence grew beyond memes. Covington launched her blog Southern Curls & Pearls in 2011 while studying at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and later turned her seasonal aesthetic into a full-time career. She has partnered with major brands such as Nordstrom, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Lululemon, and has spoken about the meticulous preparation behind her content, which can require up to 100 hours of planning. Because of that history, her emotional announcement this year marks a noticeable break from a tradition her followers have come to expect. While she did not elaborate on her reasons for pausing, her absence from Instagram alongside the TikTok message has fueled speculation among fans. It remains uncertain whether Covington will resume her fall videos next year. For now, the influencer most closely associated with the season is giving herself a step back from the autumn spotlight.

Seth Meyers' dog Frisbee, notorious for feud with Andy Samberg, dies at 14
Seth Meyers has announced the death of his dog Frisbee, who was a regular source of affection and humour for the late-night host and his audience. The Italian Greyhound, aged 14, passed away this week, with Meyers sharing the news in an Instagram post. 'RIP to Frisbee, our OG IG who I was happy to go grey with,' Meyers wrote alongside photos from over the years. The tribute included a series of images showing Frisbee as a puppy, curled on Meyers' lap, and playing at home. The post prompted an outpouring of condolences from fans and colleagues. Rachel Dratch wrote, 'Noooo! Frisbeeee! sorry for your loss.' while Retta added, 'Awwww Frisbeeeeeee.' Sarah Paulson described Frisbee as 'Darlingest of the darling dogs' and Alyssa Milano called losing a pet the 'worst pain ever.' Frisbee also became a recurring topic on Late Night With Seth Meyers, particularly during appearances by Andy Samberg, who often joked about his dislike for the dog. During a virtual interview in 2020, Frisbee appeared on camera as Samberg held a note reading, 'Frisbee sucks.' Samberg later continued the running gag in 2023, referring to Frisbee as 'Seth's nightmare-inducing hell spawn.' Just last month, Meyers and Amy Poehler joked on her podcast about pretending Frisbee had died to trick Samberg, highlighting the long-running comedic rivalry.
