Leonardo DiCaprio searched by police at Ibiza Party, Travis Scott denied entry
Viral videos circulating online show officers patting down Leonardo and inspecting his pockets as part of what was reportedly a standard security protocol. Dressed in his signature cap but with his face visible, Leonardo calmly complied with the officers' instructions. In the background, Vittoria—believed to be the woman in the video—can be heard saying, 'They are searching me full on right now.'
According to eyewitnesses, Leonardo had to introduce himself and show ID before the group was cleared for entry. However, a source told Page Six that the actor wasn't specifically targeted, saying: 'Every single person was patted down and ID'd.'
The insider added that the Spanish police simply didn't recognise Leonardo at first: 'It's funny. They did a double take, and then he went in!'
The lavish event, which took place at a private Ibiza villa, was hosted by tequila brand Patrón and Spanish actor-singer Aron Piper. According to Daily Mail, the guest list included several A-listers, such as Kendall Jenner and Leonardo's longtime friend and fellow actor Tobey Maguire.
Interestingly, rapper Travis Scott was reportedly denied entry to the same party, though reasons for the refusal remain unclear.
About Leonardo and Vittoria
Leonardo and Vittoria have been romantically linked since meeting at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival during the premiere of Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon. Since then, they've been spotted vacationing together and were recently seen on a double date with Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez aboard Bezos's $500 million superyacht, also off the coast of Ibiza.

AR Rahman finds more creative freedom in Tamil cinema than Hindi films, says Ranjit Barot: ‘It's a shame Bollywood doesn't make more use of his genius'
AR Rahman's long-time collaborator and celebrated musician Ranjit Barot has shed light on the Oscar-winning composer's extraordinary dedication and how it has propelled him to the top of the music world. In a recent interview, Barot stressed that while Rahman is undoubtedly blessed, his success is primarily the result of tireless effort. He explained that people often attribute Rahman's achievements to divine blessing, but to him, blessing means recognising a gift and then working on it with complete commitment. 'We're all blessed in some way,' Barot told O2India, adding that Rahman has been working almost 24/7 for the last 40 years, a level of discipline that truly defines what it means to be blessed. He also recalled how destiny played its part when Ilaiyaraaja turned down Roja, giving Rahman the opportunity to step in, but insisted that 'the rest is all his hard work.' Ranjit Barot on AR Rahman's genius Barot also reflected on how the Hindi film industry may not be giving Rahman the same creative freedom he once enjoyed. While he acknowledged Rahman's Chennai roots, he pointed out that the composer's repertoire spans much more than just Carnatic music — from Sufi and ghazals to North Indian classical influences. In his view, it's a shame that Bollywood doesn't fully tap into Rahman's genius, remarking that 'in Chennai, they allow him to be who he is, and he's happy with it. ' AR Rahman opens up on dealing with suicidal thoughts; recalls how mother's advice helped him Recently, Rahman composed music for the blockbuster Chhava and Mani Ratnam 's Thug Life. While Chhava emerged as one of the highest-grossing films of the year, Thug Life struggled at the box office.

Italian brain rot: TikTok's weirdest meme craze, explained
When I first heard about TikTok's new meme trend, Italian brain rot, it reminded me of Sukumar Ray's Abol Tabol, a collection of Bengali nonsense verse. Only that was literature; this is actually browsing through your Instagram feed, have you come across a bizarre mashup of AI-generated hybrids, like a shark wearing Nikes or a ballerina with a cappuccino for a head, voiced by an exaggerated Italian accent? That is Italian Brain Rot for you may have heard a lot about brain rot lately (feel sorry for yourself if you haven't, it was Oxford's Word of the Year for 2024), the trend Italian Brain Rot seems to have not been discussed much in India (more reasons for us to fill you in). It's a wildly surreal meme trend that's capturing the attention of Gen Alpha and younger Gen Z, where they know-it-all, but parents are scratching their heads, figuring it all the name might suggest some connection to Italy, child psychologist Riddhi Doshi is quick to clarify that it has nothing to do with Italian culture and everything to do with chaotic, nonsensical, AI-generated did it come from?The meme originated roughly around early 2025, with one of its earliest viral characters being Tralalero Tralala, first seen on TikTok alongside AI-generated images and wild Italian-accented voiceovers. More characters include - Ballerina Cappuccina, Cappuccino Assassino, Bombardino Crocodilo. So yes, the onus of initiating the trend goes to TikTok (banned in India) once term 'brain rot' carries dual meanings; it refers both to the overload of mindless content and its potentially deteriorating effects on the mind. So Italian brain rot is no different either, only the type of content trend has become so popular that Walmart started selling toys looking similar to creatures from the world of Italian brain rot.A wave of absurdityItalian Brain Rot videos are filled with outlandish hybrids, sharks in sneakers, crocodile-planes, ballerinas balancing coffee cups, accompanied by exaggerated, Italian-sounding narration. The unpredictable visuals and catchy audio make them irresistibly engaging for children.'The kids are obsessed because of the absurdity and the sensory overload,' says Doshi. 'It's captivating, unpredictable, and the audios are extremely catchy.'Why does it hook kidsAccording to Doshi, this trend offers the kind of quick, high-stimulation entertainment that makes traditional tasks—reading, writing, homework feel dull in comparison. 'Such small reels and videos are not allowing the children to focus for a longer time,' she explains. 'They don't want to study, go to school, write, or read.'It is not a meaningful cultural expression, but as post-ironic digital humour, it is more of a random bodning parents can doLike other 'brain rot' content, it's fast-paced, absurd, and overstimulating. Consuming it for long periods might make it harder for some people (especially younger ones) to focus on slower, more sustained Doshi advises, 'Be curious. Talk about it. In fact, be a part of your children doing this and understand what they're watching.'She recommends setting firm screen time boundaries, involving children in daily physical or calming activities for at least ten minutes, and encouraging them toward real-world creativity instead of purely virtual Brain Rot might be silly, but Doshi believes it's a symptom of something serious, the shrinking attention spans and weakened emotional resilience of children growing up online. It's captivating, yes, but it's also a distraction from learning, focus, and real-world engagement.- EndsTrending Reel

Embracing coding and culture: The humanities find a home in IITs
These shifts raise more fundamental questions. What do we mean by 'valuable' knowledge? Who has the privilege to decide what counts as literature, or art, or insight? For instance, take the Nobel Prize in Literature. When Dario Fo, the Italian playwright, won in 1997, and Bob Dylan in 2016, many critics baulked. They were not 'real' writers, some argued. While others saw it differently. After all, Fo and Dylan were both storytellers in a more encompassing way. Their stories were never supposed to just be read; they were meant to be heard, felt, and performed, like the epics of Homer and Kalidasa, the plays of Shakespeare. Maybe this was a return to the roots of literature. This very rethinking is happening in the humanities classrooms of IITs. Scholars are not only analysing printed texts; they are exploring how Instagram captions and hashtags shape public discourse; how digital platforms like YouTube, Facebook become the repository of language, art, and practice, indigenous or otherwise; or how algorithms control what we read, and how digital archives are reshaping our cultural memory. Discussing interdisciplinarity is much easier than doing it. Conventionally, research funding happened horizontally, but now momentum is building towards the diagonal, raising the question: what role should academics (and academic institutions) play in an evolving world characterised by technological acceleration and cultural upheaval? For decades, STEM disciplines were measured by quantifiable outputs: patents, products, and market impact. But that feels increasingly small in the wake of climate change, AI ethics, and social disconnection. Hence, the questions we face today are not only scientific; they are also social, cultural, and moral. What is emerging within these IITs is a conscious reframing for seeing code and computation in the larger context of history, ethics, language, and social practice. As India endeavours to establish itself as a globally relevant knowledge hub, this interdisciplinary current that is developing within the IITs is likely to be one of its greatest assets beyond metadata and computation. These institutions are not only edifying engineers and scientists but also training the next wave of thinkers who will grapple with the ethical, social, and political implications of their work. The growth of interdisciplinary research in the IITs will not simply depend on institutional changes, but is contingent upon the gradual shift in academic outlook and engagement. Moving in this direction will require institutional and intellectual courage to move beyond the comforts and legacy of established models, and seek a more inclusive, responsive way of 'knowing.' However, should the preliminary signs be considered, the journey has already begun. References Frodeman, Robert, Julie Thompson Klein, and Roberto C. S. Pacheco, eds.
