The Hips Don't Lie singer was performing her iconic number Wherever Whenever on May 20, when she suddenly took a fall. A video has surfaced on X (formerly known as Twitter), where the 48-year-old was performing with full energy but suddenly lost her balance and slipped on the stage.
However, the professional that she is, the star quickly gained her composure and smiled while continuing her performance as if nothing had happened.
As soon as the video surfaced, fans of the 48-year-old star showed their concern and also applauded her for her quick recovery. One fan wrote, "But like the Queen that she is, she took the bull by the horns and reacted super well". Another fan said, 'She even has class when falling.' A third fan wrote, "She handled it wonderfully!!!". A fourth fan was concerned and said, "This time she hit hard but as always she came out of the accident unscathed". A fifth one chimed in, "A true professional, women don't cry". Another fan commented, "Mamacita, always so resourceful and with the best disposition, a true artist "
Back in February, Shakira was forced to postpone her shows in Lima, Peru, due to a health issue. According to Billboard, the popstar posted an update on her Instagram that read, 'I am sorry to inform you all that last night I had to go to the ER for an abdominal issue and am currently hospitalized. I am very sad to not be able to take the stage today."

Apple introduces WWDC 2025 hashmoji on X- Know what it is and how it works
Apple is all set to host the WWDC 2025 on June 9 at Apple Park in Cupertino, California. As the event is just days away, Apple has started to tease the live stream on social media platforms, primarily on X (formerly Twitter). Tim Cook recently revealed this year's WWDC logo and tag line, 'Sleek Peek'. Now, the tech giant has also revealed the hashmoji for the event, which will be displayed on X when users add #WWDC25 on their posts. For many years, Apple has been using hashmoji to promote and create the hype for its annual developer's event, which introduces new generation operating systems across products. Therefore, it's one of the awaited events of the year. Know what hashmoji is and how it works on X. Apple's WWDC keynote for this year will take place on June 9, 2025. As we have only 6 days left, Apple introduces the new custom icon called hashmoji, which will appear when users make any post with #WWDC25. The hashmoji looks quite familiar to Apple's promotional art for the event, with a transparent Apple logo and hues of rainbow colours at the edges.

D Gukesh gets trolled with racist curry comments after defeating Magnus Carlsen
What should have been a pure celebration of chess greatness has taken an ugly detour. After D Gukesh, the reigning world champion, delivered a stunning defeat to Magnus Carlsen, the five-time world champ and national hero of Norway, racist commentary began to flood the internet, dimming the brilliance of the young Indian prodigy's victory. An exceptional achievement by Gukesh! Congratulations to him for triumphing over the very best. His first-ever win against Magnus Carlsen in Round 6 of Norway Chess 2025 showcases his brilliance and dedication. Wishing him continued success in the journey ahead.@DGukesh D Gukesh trolled The moment itself was electric. In a tense endgame during the Norway Chess tournament in Stavanger, Carlsen blundered, something fans seldom witness from the Norwegian grandmaster. Frustrated, Carlsen banged the table, pieces scattered, and as he stood up, he reportedly muttered 'Oh my God.' The stunned silence was broken by applause, not for Carlsen, but for Gukesh, who had just pulled off one of the most talked-about upsets in modern chess history. OH MY GOD 😳🤯😲 Racists say Carlsen got distracted by the curry sent But the celebratory video, posted on the official Norway Chess TikTok, took a disturbing turn in the comments section. Amid the praise for Gukesh, some users unleashed blatantly racist remarks, including one suggesting Carlsen had been distracted by the 'curry scent.' Carlsen's visible frustration at the end wasn't just a tantrum — it was the greatest compliment the World Champion could receive from the GOAT No fist pump. No smirk. Gukesh didn't need one. His silence roared louder than Carlsen's exit.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 Indians question Norway Chess The comment, liked by thousands and pinned among the top responses, prompted social media users to demand answers. One user on X (formerly Twitter) questioned why Norway Chess had allowed such remarks to remain unchecked. The tweet quickly went viral, crossing 364K views, as netizens flooded in to condemn the lack of moderation. Can I ask Why isn't @NorwayChess moderating its TikTok account, despite repeated racist comments targeting Gukesh? These comments are visible, liked by thousands, and consistently appear at the top. Another X user sarcastically dismissed the curry comment, suggesting Gukesh's diet of pappu and avakaya probably elevated his mental game, while also urging the young champ to rise above the hate. Yet another user pointed out the issue was not subtle, it was 'blatant racism', plain and simple. Some even turned the tables, trolling Carlsen for his reaction. 'White players cannot handle losing,' one commenter said bluntly. Others accused Norway Chess of turning a blind eye to the hate, saying no amount of complaints would change the system unless organisers step up. While Gukesh remains silent on the backlash, the incident has sparked a wider discussion on racism in global sports and the responsibility of tournament organisers to uphold decency, not just on the board, but across platforms. Chess is often praised as the great equaliser of minds, but it seems the internet still has a long way to go.

OnlyFans star Bonnie Blue's Instagram deleted after she reveals plans for her viral public stunt with 2,000 men
British OnlyFans sensation Bonnie Blue is back in the spotlight, only this time, it is not for her jaw-dropping goals but because her main TikTok and Instagram accounts have mysteriously vanished. And yes, it all happened just after she casually announced her plans to engage in an intimate marathon with 2,000 men. You read that right. Bonnie Blue's Instagram and TikTok have vanished! Bonnie, whose real name is Tia Billinger, made waves earlier this year by claiming she had been physically intimate with 1,057 men in just 12 hours. But now, the 26-year-old Nottinghamshire native said she wants to double down—literally. In a bold video shared on her now-gone @bonnie_blue_xox accounts, she revealed plans to top her previous record on 15th June, saying she would be tied up in a public glass box in London where people could 'either watch or get involved.' Bonnie Blue's confirmation If you just blinked, you missed it. As of June 2, her primary TikTok and Instagram handles, each boasting hundreds of thousands of followers—are completely gone. While the star herself has not confirmed if the takedown was voluntary or enforced, fans are speculating that platforms may have clapped back at her wildly NSFW stunt announcement. Bonnie's second Instagram account, @bonnieblue, and her backup TikTok still remain up, as does her X (formerly Twitter) page, so clearly, she is not going anywhere just yet. Before she became a headline-making adult creator reportedly raking in £750,000 a month, Bonnie worked in recruitment and was even married. But she ditched the desk job for the digital limelight, where she has become known for pushing boundaries, perhaps a little too far this time. Bonnie Blue's next challenge The 15th June event is still supposedly a go, although with her biggest platforms gone, Bonnie may have to find new ways to spread the word. Meanwhile, the internet is divided, some are calling her iconic, others are just stunned. OF model Bonnie Blue brags about her plans to sleep with 2,000 men in one day and be 'tied up in a glass box and open to the public.' Blue has told men to 'get involved or just walk around and watch' as she plans the shocking 2,000 man stunt. Whether you think it is performance art or PR chaos, one thing is for sure: Bonnie Blue knows how to get everyone talking. And now, she is got us all refreshing TikTok to see if she makes a comeback, or breaks the internet again.
