Albanian-American Model Elton Ilirjani Pioneers "Zero Gravity" Experience at Expo 2025 Osaka
OSAKA, JAPAN – The highly anticipated Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, themed "Designing Future Society for our Lives," is showcasing groundbreaking innovations that blend art, technology, and human experience. Among the most talked-about exhibits is the "Zero Gravity Box," a collaborative project featuring acclaimed Japanese artist and fashion designer Naoko Tosa, and the Albanian-American model, entrepreneur, and human rights activist, Elton Ilirjani, known to the fashion world as HANKO. This immersive installation, which simulates the unique sensation of weightlessness, stands as a testament to the Expo's commitment to exploring emerging sciences and evolving technologies that shape a sustainable future. Elton Ilirjani, a prominent figure in global fashion and a staunch advocate for inclusivity, brings a distinctive dimension to the project. Renowned for his performative approach to modeling, which champions genderless representation and universal beauty, Ilirjani's participation bridges the gap between high fashion, conceptual art, and futuristic technological exploration. Unlike traditional runway walks, his appearances are celebrated for their artistic depth, reminiscent of trailblazing performance artists such as Yoko Ono, Marina Abramović, and Michele Lamy. His journey from discovering unique Asian designers at a New York boutique to becoming a global runway mainstay – walking for designers at New York, Milan, Paris, London, Athens, Costa Rica, Miami, and Tokyo Fashion Weeks – underscores his evolution as an artist who uses the runway as a stage for storytelling and advocacy. The "Zero Gravity Box" project, spearheaded by Naoko Tosa and her Art Innovation Academia-Industry Joint Research Division at the Kyoto University Disaster Prevention Research Institute, was developed in cooperation with leading technology firms TOPPAN and Shimadzu Corporation. It offers participants a profoundly unique experience, accessible through parabolic flights, designed to evoke the sensation of being in a mother's womb. Within this specialized environment, akin to a scuba diving setting, the audience is invited to metaphorically become newborns, enveloped by the "zero-gravity Sound of Ikebana" and the rhythmic sound of a mother's heartbeat. This nostalgic simulation aims to provide a profound sense of rebirth, challenging conventional perceptions of space and self. For this particular iteration of the project, Naoko Tosa collaborated closely with Elton Ilirjani. Ilirjani entered the "Zero Gravity Box" as a central component of a performance art piece, clad in a custom-designed outfit by Tosa. His face was strikingly painted white and adorned with blue crystals, creating an otherworldly, almost ethereal appearance. The captivating visuals from this collaboration were captured by photographer Arun Nevader, illustrating the blend of haute couture with scientific and artistic innovation. Reflecting on his experience, Ilirjani articulated the profound impact of the simulation. "The whole experience was reminiscent of being inside your mother's womb, when you are an embryo, hearing the heartbeat of your mother," he stated. Beyond its artistic merit, Ilirjani perceives the project as a window into the future. "This experience is more than art and fashion, it's the future. Weightlessness is something people will experience in the future, since people will travel to other planets," he added, highlighting the project's relevance in an era of burgeoning space exploration. Significantly, the "Zero Gravity Box" aligns perfectly with Ilirjani's personal advocacy for genderless modeling. The inherent lack of gravity in the experience naturally transcends physical form and traditional boundaries. "There is no gender gap either which is perfect with my project, the genderless modeling. There is no gap in genders, weightlessness, smart mirrors, wonderful sounds, Embryo, it's futuristic and together with the colors and how it was composed it was giving micro-gravity or zero gravity," Ilirjani affirmed. His vision for a fashion industry free from gender constraints finds a compelling parallel in an environment where physical attributes are rendered moot by the absence of gravity. "I'm proud to be part of this project," Ilirjani concluded, visibly moved by the experience. "I could hear my heartbeat inside the box. I could remember being a fetus inside my mother. The future of life. It gave me a touch of the universe, it elevated me to another level." Elton Ilirjani's involvement in the "Zero Gravity Box" at Expo 2025 Osaka underscores the profound potential of interdisciplinary collaboration. By merging cutting-edge technology, empathetic design, and performance art, the project not only offers a unique sensory experience but also propagates a powerful message of inclusivity and a forward-looking vision for human existence in an increasingly interconnected and expansive universe. The Expo continues until October 13, 2025, inviting global communities to engage with such transformative initiatives that aim to design a sustainable and inclusive future society.

US singer Kelly Clarkson's ex-husband Brandon Blackstock dies at 48 after cancer battle
Sign up now: Get ST's newsletters delivered to your inbox US singer Kelly Clarkson (right) and her then husband Brandon Blackstock in January 2013. The couple finalised their divorce in 2022. NEW YORK - Mr Brandon Blackstock, a talent manager and the ex-husband of American singer and talk show host Kelly Clarkson, has died. He was 48. His death, which followed a three-year battle with cancer, was announced on Aug 7 in a social media post by Starstruck Entertainment, a Nashville, Tennessee-based talent-management company owned by his father Narvel Blackstock, at which he was an executive. The announcement of Blackstock's death came one day after Clarkson, 43, said she would be postponing the August dates of her residency in Las Vegas, citing her ex-husband's health and their two children, aged nine and 11. 'While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them,' Clarkson said in a statement shared to her Instagram on Aug 6. Clarkson, who won the first season of US reality singing competition American Idol in 2002, began her residency, called Kelly Clarkson: Studio Sessions, at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas in July. She previously postponed the opening nights on July 4 and 5 because of vocal issues, she said in a post on Instagram on July 4. There were five shows scheduled for August, according to her website, with the next concert scheduled on Nov 7. Clarkson and Blackstock began dating in 2012 and married in Tennessee in 2013. She filed for divorce in June 2020, citing 'irreconcilable differences'. The former couple were then embroiled in an acrimonious divorce battle over issues such as child custody, spousal support and division of property, including ownership of their Montana ranch. Their split was finalised in March 2022, and Clarkson was granted primary physical custody of their two children. Mr Blackstock was an executive producer on American daytime talk show The Kelly Clarkson Show from 2019 to 2020, according to IMDb. He also previously managed American country singer Blake Shelton. His father, who founded Starstruck Entertainment in 1988, was married to American country music star and actress Reba McEntire from 1989 to 2015. Mr Blackstock had two children - daughter Savannah and son Seth - from his previous marriage with Ms Melissa Ashworth, 51, whom he split from in 2012. Savannah, 23, who shares a three-year-old son with her husband Quentin Lee, announced in July that she is expecting their second child, a daughter, in January 2026. NYTIMES

Dean Cain signs up to work for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Entertainment News
Dean Cain has signed up to work for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The actor will be signed up as an agent "ASAP" amid the federal agency's recruitment drive in order to support US President Donald Trump's scheme to boost immigration raids. Dean told Fox News host Jesse Watters he had decided to join ICE after the presenter shared a recruitment video on his Instagram. He said: "I'm actually a sworn deputy sheriff and a reserve police officer — I wasn't part of ICE, but once I put that out there and you put a little blurb on your show, it went crazy. "So now I've spoken with some officials over at ICE, and I will be sworn in as an ICE agent, ASAP." Dean believes the current immigration system is "broken" so he is keen to do what he can to support the president. He said: "This country was built on patriots stepping up, whether it was popular or not, and doing the right thing. I truly believe this is the right thing. "We have a broken immigration system. Congress needs to fix it, but in the interim, President Trump ran on this. He is delivering on this. This is what people voted for. It's what I voted for and he's going to see it through, and I'll do my part and help make sure it happens. "I'm stepping up. Hopefully, a whole bunch of other former officers, former ICE agents, will step up and we'll meet those recruitment goals immediately, and we'll help protect this country." Dean recently expressed concern that James Gunn has made Superman too "woke" in his new movie, which stars David Corenswet. Dean — who played the superhero in Lois + Clark: The New Adventures of Superman from 1993 to 1997 — told TMZ: "How woke is Hollywood going to make this character? How much is Disney going to change their Snow White? Why are they going to change these characters [to] exist for the times?" James had previously compared his movie to "the story of America", with a central character who is "an immigrant that came from other places and populated the country". Referencing the traditional Superman motto of "Truth, justice, and the American way" — which has evolved over the years and has most recently been "Truth, justice, and a better tomorrow" — Dean said: "We know Superman is an immigrant - he's a freaking alien... "The 'American way' is immigrant-friendly, tremendously immigrant-friendly. But there are rules. "You can't come in saying, 'I want to get rid of all the rules in America, because I want it to be more like Somalia.' Well, that doesn't work, because you had to leave Somalia to come here... There has to be limits, because we can't have everybody in the United States. We can't have everybody, society will fail. So there have to be limits." [[nid:721104]]
