Ricky Martin calls out Dazed for ignoring Karol G in fashion post
The post in question featured a photo of Karol G alongside Hunter Schafer, Dua Lipa, and Cardi B. However, Dazed only mentioned Schafer, Lipa, and Cardi B—ignoring Karol G, despite her prominent placement in the image.
Ricky Martin jumped into the comments with a pointed remark that quickly gained traction: 'Excuse me, but who are the ladies sitting next to @karolg ???' His response was widely praised by fans and followers who felt Karol G deserved equal recognition.

Karol G, a multi-Latin Grammy winner and one of the most influential Latin artists in the world, has become a staple at global fashion events, with her Paris Fashion Week appearance generating major buzz. The omission from Dazed's caption, however, sparked accusations of bias and fueled online discussions about fair representation of Latin artists in mainstream media.
Ricky Martin's vocal support adds weight to the criticism. Known for being outspoken on issues of inclusion, the pop icon's defense of Karol G highlights ongoing concerns about Latinx visibility in fashion and entertainment.
As social media users continue to rally behind Karol G, Dazed has yet to respond publicly to the backlash. Meanwhile, the moment has only strengthened Karol G's bond with her fans—and reminded the industry that her presence should not be overlooked.

Humaira Asghar Ali dead at 35
The Pakistani entertainment industry was left in shock following the tragic news of actor and model Humaira Asghar Ali's passing. Gizri Police confirmed on Tuesday that the 35-year-old's body was discovered in her Karachi apartment, where it had likely remained for nearly 20 days. The grim discovery was made when her landlord, accompanied by a court bailiff and police officers, arrived to execute a court-ordered eviction due to non-payment of rent. Humaira had reportedly stopped paying rent in early 2024, though she had been living in the third-floor flat in Ittehad Commercial area of DHA Phase VI since 2018. The flat's main door was locked from the inside, prompting authorities to break it open. The actor's body was found in an advanced state of decomposition. According to SHO Farooq Sanjrani of Gizri Police Station, there were no immediate signs of foul play or forced entry. Crime Scene Unit investigators collected forensic evidence from the scene, and the body was moved to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre for post-mortem examination. Initial assessment suggests natural causes, but the exact cause of death will be determined after the autopsy. The flat has since been sealed, and the investigation remains ongoing. Police have yet to locate any of Humaira's family members. She was believed to be living alone with limited contact, which contributed to the delay in discovering her death. Industry in mourning Humaira carved a space for herself in showbiz over the past decade. She rose to fame after winning Veet Miss Super Model in 2014 and appearing in reality show Tamasha Ghar (2022). Humaira's acting credits include TV series such as Laali, and films Jalaibee (2015) and Love Vaccine (2021). For her artistic contributions, she was awarded the National Woman Leadership Award in 2023. Her sudden passing has left fans and colleagues stunned, as tributes pour in across social media. Veteran actor Humayun Saeed took to Instagram, expressing "Deeply sorry for this sudden and shocking loss. May Allah Bless Humaira's soul. Heartfelt condolences". Adnan Siddiqui, who also hosted Tamasha, where Humaira was a participant, wrote on Instagram, "Inna lillahi wah inna ilayhi raji'un. Deeply shocked and saddened. A young life cut so short suddenly. May you be in peace Humaira and your family get the strength to deal with the vacuum you have left behind." Former co-star Atiqa Odho, also posted a photo with Humaira from their drama Ehsaan Faramosh, stating "Woke up to this shocking and tragic news. Unbelievable as she had so much life to look forward to. We worked in Ehsaan Faramosh serial together and she was such a gentle soul. Never thought that she would leave us so soon." Odho added, "I hope the authorities get to the truth and we find out what happened to Humaira Asghar so that we may be able to help others in the future before we lose them in this unfortunate manner. Tragic, tragic, tragic. Humaira, may you rest in peace my dear, wherever you are. Ameen." Ali Rahman Khan, also wrote a heartfelt message on Instagram, saying "Really tragic news. She was a thorough professional who took pride in her work. She always spoke to me with kindness and respect. I only have the most pleasant memories of her. May Allah bless her and watch over her in the afterlife." 'Check on those alone' Actor Faysal Quraishi, also voiced his condolences on social media, pleading with people "to keep a check on those who live alone". Singer Zoheb Hassan took to his Facebook, voicing "This is such sad news and not the first time this has happened in Karachi where single women have been found dead in their apartments. Reports say her death was natural causes. I still urge the Government of Pakistan to initiate a thorough investigation and ensure the safety of our daughters, sisters and mothers living alone." Udaari actor, Hina Altaf, echoed the same sentiments as him, expressing on her Instagram, "She lived alone. She passed away alone. And days went by without anyone even noticing. This isn't just a loss, it's a wake up call. Check in on your friends and also people who never asked. May Allah forgive her and give her the highest rank in Jannah. May Allah give strength to souls who are battling so quietly." Mawra Hocane, Ahmed Ali Butt, Madiha Imam and Sadaf Kanwal also reacted to the news with sadness. This tragedy feels all the more heartbreaking as it reflects a growing and deeply unsettling pattern - following reports of veteran actor Ayesha Khan's passing, also alone and in similarly isolating circumstances.

Katie Holmes reacts to Tom Cruise and Ana de Armas romance rumours with one surprising move
Katie Holmes appears to have given a subtle nod of approval to her ex-husband Tom Cruise's rumoured new relationship with Ana de Armas. The actress liked a Daily Mail Instagram post from May that showed Cruise and de Armas arriving in London together, reportedly just days before her 37th birthday. The post included photos of the pair stepping out of a helicopter, fuelling ongoing rumours about their connection. One Instagram commenter quickly pointed out Holmes' unexpected engagement with the post, writing, 'Did anyone else notice that Katie Holmes liked the post?' Though representatives for Holmes, Cruise, and de Armas have not responded to requests for comment, fans are speculating that the social media gesture may be more than accidental. Holmes and Cruise share a daughter, Suri, and were married from 2006 until 2012. Romance rumours around Cruise and de Armas first emerged in February, when they were spotted walking through London's Soho neighbourhood on the eve of Valentine's Day. Later sightings included strolls in a park and multiple joint helicopter arrivals, sometimes accompanied by director Doug Liman. While their chemistry has sparked public curiosity, sources have previously denied any romantic involvement, insisting their meetings are related to professional projects. De Armas recently addressed her collaboration with Cruise on 'Good Morning America,' saying they are working on multiple projects with Liman and filmmaker Christopher McQuarrie. According to reports, Cruise and de Armas are both attached to an upcoming film titled Deeper, directed by Liman. Whether the relationship remains strictly professional or something more, Holmes' quiet online move has only added fuel to the conversation.
