After Virat Kohli, Tamannaah Bhatia blames Instagram algorithm for 'liking' pages 'on its own'
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], May 29 (ANI): Actor Tamannaah Bhatia took to her Instagram Story to post about how the social media platform apparently "likes" pages "on its own". "Can Instagram pls figure out how it likes pages on its own, cause random people are making it news and I have work to do," Tamannaah said on Wednesday while posting a story with a selfie of herself. Reportedly, Tamannaah liked an Instagram reel that features Deepika Padukone and which highlighted issues such as the gender pay gap, unprofessional work environments, and misogyny. The 'Odela 2' actor's post comes amid the ongoing controversy surrounding actor Deepika Padukone and filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga over the movie 'Spirit'. Previously, Virat Kohli found himself at the centre of online chatter after several users noticed that his verified Instagram account had liked a post from a fan page dedicated to actress Avneet Kaur. The star cricketer later took to his Instagram Story to share a short note to clear the air. In the post, Kohli, without naming anyone, stated that the 'like' seemed to be a mistake caused by the "app's algorithm" while he was "clearing his feed." "I'd like to clarify that while clearing my feed, it appears the algorithm may have mistakenly registered an interaction. There was absolutely no intent behind it. I request that no unnecessary assumptions be made. Thank you for your understanding," read his Instagram Story. Recently, filmmaker Vanga stirred speculation on social media with a fiery post that many believe targets an unnamed actress who was earlier part of his upcoming film, "Spirit".Though he did not name anyone directly, many believe Vanga was referring to Deepika Padukone, who reportedly stepped away from the project recently. In a post shared on his official X handle, Vanga voiced frustration over a broken "unsaid NDA" and alleged betrayal of trust, and wrote, "When I narrate a story to an actor, I place 100 per cent faith. There is an unsaid NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) between us. But by doing this, you've 'DISCLOSED' the person that you are..." "Putting down a younger actor and ousting my story? Is this what your feminism stands for? As a filmmaker, I put years of hard work behind my craft & for me, filmmaking is everything. You didn't get it. You won't get it. You will never get it," he the director did not confirm the identity of the actress in question, his reference to a female lead exiting 'Spirit', and being replaced by a "younger actor," aligns with recent reports involving Deepika Padukone, who was initially cast opposite Prabhas in the film. In March 2025, rumours surfaced online alleging that the plot of 'Spirit' had been leaked, with some claiming similarities to the Tamil film 'Theri.'However, the source of the leak remains unverified, and no direct evidence has been presented linking Padukone or any other actor to the incident. Shortly after Deepika's departure, the film's makers confirmed that actress Triptii Dimri, who previously appeared in Vanga's blockbuster 'Animal', will now play the female lead in Spirit. Vanga shared the update on Instagram and wrote, "The female lead for my film is now official :-)"Triptii also took to social media to express her gratitude and wrote, "Still sinking in... So grateful to be trusted with this journey. Thank you @ Honoured to be a part of your vision."The announcement was met with enthusiasm from fans, with many praising Dimri's previous performance and expressing excitement about her collaboration with Vanga once again.'Spirit', directed by Vanga and produced by T-Series and Bhadrakali Pictures, is one of the most anticipated upcoming films starring Prabhas in the lead film has attracted significant attention due to its high-profile cast and the director's last blockbuster, 'Animal.'

Sean ‘Diddy' Combs' evidence files reveal a photo of two bikini-clad mega icons, and it's not the Kardashians
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' evidence files reportedly contained a black-and-white photograph of two mega-female icons in bikinis. Can you guess the name? Rihanna and Serena Williams' names surfaced in a court filing submitted by Combs' defence team, per the Daily Mail. The image, believed to be taken in 2012, shows Rihanna and Williams lying on a bed in bikinis beneath a mirrored ceiling. A third woman, reportedly Capricorn Clark, Diddy's former assistant, lies beside them. ALSO READ| R&B singer Cassie gives birth to third child as Sean 'Diddy' Combs sex trafficking trial continues Clark testified earlier this week that she was fired during a vacation with Rihanna around that same time. The image, submitted to the court and reported by the Daily Mail, was allegedly sent to Diddy by his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura during a long text exchange. While there has been no suggestion that Rihanna or Serena were involved in any of the troubling allegations against Combs, or in any 'freak-offs.' The defence included the photo among dozens of messages and images aiming to portray Cassie as a willing participant in what they call an 'intense, unorthodox romance.' One message from Cassie reads, 'Going to FO [Freak-Off] on Tuesday!! These are all the things that I need Pop Pop to be with me at. Lol.' But prosecutors argue the opposite, that Cassie was emotionally manipulated and coerced into participating in sex acts over their 11-year relationship. She, however, testified feeling forced to comply with what she called 'hundreds' of group sex encounters, or 'freak-offs,' just to keep the peace. 'I just want it to be uncontrollable,' she texted Combs at one point. Another message reads, 'I want it to be the first time for the rest of our lives.' Combs' team pointed to flirtatious texts to challenge Cassie's claims, including messages like, 'I miss our love sessions in the afternoon.' But Cassie told the court these didn't reflect how she truly felt. 'There's a lot we skipped over,' she said quietly.

Meanwhile, the disgraced music mogul remains in custody and could face up to 15 years in prison if convicted. The trial is expected to continue into June.

Stylist says Cassie confided that Sean 'Diddy' Combs pressured her into sex marathons
NEW YORK — The singer Cassie was content celebrating her 29th birthday with drinks, drugs and karaoke with friends, but her boyfriend, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, had a different idea. The hip-hop mogul insisted on taking Cassie, his R&B protégé, to a Los Angeles hotel for another of his 'freak-off' sex marathons, her friend and former stylist testified Wednesday at Combs' federal sex trafficking trial. Deonte Nash told jurors that he saw the temperamental Combs berating Cassie as she pleaded for him to let her enjoy her birthday on her own terms. Later that night, Nash said, Cassie told the stylist, 'I don't want to freak-off," but that she had to because Combs was making her. Nash testified that the 2015 conversation was one of several times Cassie, whose real name is Casandra Ventura, confided to him that she didn't want to engage in Combs' drug-fueled hotel encounters. Earlier in the trial, Cassie testified that these often involved Combs watching, directing and sometimes filming her as she had sex with a male sex worker. She said she engaged in hundreds of such encounters during her nearly 11-year relationship with Combs from 2007 to 2018. Nash said he remains close with Cassie, even advising her on her trial wardrobe. He said he contacted her Tuesday to congratulate her on the birth of her third child. Along with shedding light on Cassie's feelings about freak-offs, Nash also corroborated her testimony that Combs frequently beat and tormented her. Combs would threaten to hinder Cassie's fledgling music career and said he'd ruin her reputation by releasing recordings of their sexual encounters, Nash said. The stylist said he was at Cassie's apartment, helping her pack for a music festival, when Combs stormed in, grabbed her by the hair, pulled her off a couch and hit her repeatedly. Nash said he jumped on Combs' back in an attempt to get him to stop, but Combs bucked and threw him to the ground. Combs resumed whaling on Cassie, who'd fled to a bedroom with Nash and another friend, knocking her head into the edge of the bed frame and causing a large, bloody gash above her eye, the witness said. 'Look what y'all made me do," Combs said, according to Nash. Combs, 55, has pleaded not guilty to charges that he led a racketeering conspiracy for 20 years that relied on fear and violence to get what he wanted. If convicted, he could face 15 years to life in prison. Earlier Wednesday, Combs' lawyers asked for a mistrial — which Judge Arun Subramanian denied — after they said prosecutors had tried to imply that Combs interfered with a police investigation into the January 2012 firebombing of rapper Kid Cudi's Porsche 911. Subramanian told jurors to disregard testimony about fingerprint records that ended up being destroyed months after the fire. Combs' ex-assistant testified Tuesday that Combs said he wanted to kill Cudi after he learned that Cassie and Cudi were dating in December 2011. A few weeks later, Cudi's Porsche was firebombed. A Molotov cocktail was found in the front seat, made out of a 40-ounce Old English 800 malt liquor bottle and a designer handkerchief, according to Lance Jimenez, an arson investigator for the Los Angeles Fire Department, and photographs shown in court. Combs' lawyers moved for a mistrial after Jimenez, prompted by prosecution questioning, testified that fingerprints taken from Cudi's vehicle were destroyed in August 2012, about eight months after the fire. Jimenez said someone at the Los Angeles Police Department who wasn't involved in the investigation ordered the fingerprint cards destroyed. He said this wasn't normal protocol. Combs' lawyer Alexandra Shapiro accused the government of prosecutorial misconduct for even broaching the idea that something untoward happened with the fingerprint cards. She said prosecutors should've known better because some prospective jurors were eliminated from consideration for the trial after they said they believed Combs could buy his way out of trouble. 'These questions were designed to play right into that,' Shapiro said. Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik countered that 'a mistrial is absolutely unwarranted here," telling the judge that she only asked Jimenez about the fate of the fingerprint cards to counter defense suggestions that the firebombing was poorly investigated and that the area was not canvassed for fingerprints. No arrests were made as a result of Jimenez's investigation, but federal prosecutors contend Combs was responsible for the fire and have included the episode as one of several acts of alleged wrongdoing supporting the racketeering charge against him.
