Sophia Albarakbah: I didn't think Bella was being snide!
The actress, who spoke to the media after winning the title at the event, said that she is not at all affected by Bella's comment that "I know her, I know her very well" before announcing her name as the winner, and was more focused on the fact that she won the category.
"I didn't feel slighted. We are in the same industry. I am more focused on processing this idea that I have won. I am still surprised by it," she said.
On the other hand, Bella immediately departed after the event concluded, sparking speculations that there are still tensions between the two parties. The singer herself won Best Celebrity Couple Goals alongside Muar MP, Syed Saddiq.
Sophia and Bella had a fall out back in 2023, after the latter revealed that Sophia was the third party in her marriage with Aliff Aziz. However, she and Aliff ended their marriage in June 2024 after the singer was caught with actress Ruhainies.

Tiny Love Stories: ‘Let Joy Back In'
A Blue Stone for My Desolate World Typhoid imprisoned me — 6 years old, aching, silently watching the ceiling at home in Ambala, India. My cot moved to the veranda every evening; I watched the world play without me. Loneliness settled like dust. One dusk, my friend Madhu's mother arrived like a breeze. She spoke in stories, then slipped a ring onto my finger: rolled gold, with a sea-blue stone. 'For the princess,' she said. It shimmered like a spell. I whispered to it, held it up to show the sun. It became my secret friend, my talisman. That small circle of beauty let joy back in. — Viney Kirpal The Love He Could Give I moved from the city to a small town for work — single, uncertain, joking to friends that I was David Rose from 'Schitt's Creek.' Then I met him. Though he'd just left a 16-year-long relationship, he made me feel chosen. One sunny morning, as I reached for my shoes, he called. 'I'm coming over,' he said. Minutes later, he arrived — leather jacket, wet curls, steady brown eyes — holding a vase of tulips, ruscus, wild veronica. He'd arranged them himself. He kissed me softly, then whispered, 'Have a beautiful day, papi chulo.' The flowers stayed. A week later, he didn't. — Mayank Chugh 'I Know She Was Difficult' After the call, I was awash with relief. My troubled, depressed mother, just deceased, would never again brand Dad an idiot, an ignoramus, an imbecile. He had selflessly cared for her during her many declining years. Kind Dad could finally find a woman who appreciated him, I thought. 'I still miss your mum,' he told me years later. 'I know she was difficult, but I choose to remember the good times.' Tall, handsome Dad, the most eligible man in the care home to which he eventually moved, never showed the slightest interest in the possibility of a new romantic relationship. — Tony Elston With a Little Help From Our Friend Each year, in Berlin, a friend invited my now-husband, Andreas, and me to her birthday party. We never met there. But one day, he asked her to bring a friend to a party. She chose me: 'He is just your type.' A grunge musician with long blonde hair, he was indeed. After becoming a couple, we discovered that neither of us had ever liked our friend's birthday parties. I had always come early to leave early. He had always arrived as late as possible. No chance to meet there. Still, it's our friend's gift that we met at all. — Isolde Peter See more Tiny Love Stories at Submit yours at Want more from Modern Love?

The Japanese pop artists and rule breakers whose work blurred boundaries
Part of the appeal of the 19th-century woodblock prints known as ukiyo-e ('floating world pictures') is that their subject matter is so distinctively Japanese. But that couldn't last. The same historical developments that dispersed ukiyo-e worldwide propelled Western influences and techniques into Japan. Less than a century after their isolated homeland opened to the world in the 1850s, Japan's artists began making the sort of eclectic works surveyed in 'Cut + Paste: Experimental Japanese Prints and Photographs.' The National Museum of Asian Art exhibition, drawn entirely from its own holdings, is a riot of cross-cultural juxtapositions. Most of the pieces in the 17-artist exhibition are from the second half of the 20th century and are being exhibited at the museum for the first time.

New Trailer for Brendan Fraser's New Dramedy RENTAL FAMILY — GeekTyrant
A new trailer has been released for the comedic drama Rental Family , starring Brendan Fraser in his first major role since winning the Best Actor Oscar for The Whale in 2023. The film is helmed by Beef director Hikari, from a script he co-wrote with Stephen Blahut. Pachinko 's Mari Yamamoto and Akira Emoto also star. In the film, Fraser plays as a lonely, down-and-out American actor living in Tokyo who begins working for a Japanese 'rental family' company to play various stand-in roles in other people's lives. Along the way, he forges some surprising human connections and discovers unexpected joys within his built-in family. Fraser said at last year's Red Sea Film Festival that Hikari's 'story about what it means to have a family as not being the one necessarily that we were born into, but whom we encounter and collect in our lives.' Rental Family will have its world premiere at next month's Toronto Film Festival ahead of a November 21, 2025 release date. This looks like it will be a sweet story, and a great performance from Fraser. Check out the trailer below: via: Deadline
