Fifth Harmony comeback soon? Report says reunion imminent but without Camila Cabello, documentary and tour in the works
LOS ANGELES, May 30 – American girl group Fifth Harmony is reportedly planning a reunion — minus original member Camila Cabello — The Hollywood Reporter wrote, citing sources.
The group, formed in 2012 on The X Factor USA, is said to be preparing for a comeback involving Normani, Ally Brooke, Dinah Jane and Lauren Jauregui ahead of the 10th anniversary of their 2016 album 7/27 and hit single 'Work From Home'.
Insiders revealed that the plans include a documentary chronicling their return and a potential tour, though specific dates and details remain under wraps.
Fifth Harmony rose to fame with multi-platinum albums Reflection and 7/27, and scored massive hits with 'Work From Home' featuring Ty Dolla $ign and 'Worth It' featuring Kid Ink.
Cabello departed the group in 2016 to pursue a solo career, relinquishing rights to the group name as the remaining members continued as a quartet and released a self-titled album in 2017.
In 2018, the group went on indefinite hiatus to allow each member to focus on solo projects; they are no longer signed to Epic Records.
Cabello has since achieved significant solo success with chart-toppers like 'Havana' and 'Señorita', while Normani has found acclaim with singles such as 'Motivation' and 'Love Lies'.
Speculation about a reunion grew after all four members publicly supported Normani's debut album Dopamine last year, though reports at the time downplayed the rumours.
The upcoming reunion is reportedly being spearheaded by Will Bracey, husband of Ally Brooke and COO of the Justin Bieber family office.
Bracey has not commented on the matter, and representatives for Normani, Jane, and Jauregui could not be reached.

Trans teen competes in US high school athletics championships
The participation of trans athletes in women's sports events has been the subject of intense controversy. (AFP pic) SAN FRANCISCO : A transgender high school athlete shrugged off scattered protests and heated criticism from president Donald Trump to reach the finals of multiple events at California's state championships today. AB Hernandez, 16, was the top qualifier for tomorrow's finals in the girls' long jump and girls' high jump at the California State Track & Field Championships in Clovis, outside of Fresno. Hernandez's participation at the meeting has been the subject of intense controversy, with the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) scrambling to adjust competition rules this week as anger grew on all sides. About a dozen protesters outside the venue sported T-shirts and signs reading 'Save girls sports.' On Tuesday, CIF officials announced that entry rules had been modified so that biological females were not excluded from competition due to the participation of trans athletes. A day later, CIF issued another rule change – specifically targeting events in which Hernandez was qualified to compete – which mandates that any athlete who misses out on a podium finish behind a trans athlete would still receive a medal. 'If necessary, in the high jump, triple jump and long jump events at the 2025 CIF State Track and Field Championships, a biological female student-athlete who would have earned a specific placement on the podium will also be awarded the medal for that place and the results will be reflected in the recording of the event,' the federation announced in a statement. The last-minute rules changes came after days of controversy which have included Hernandez being targeted by Trump on social media. The US President, who did not mention Hernandez by name, threatened to withhold federal funding from California in future if she was allowed to compete in this week's championships, which got underway today with finals due tomorrow. 'As a female, this transitioned person is practically unbeatable. THIS IS NOT FAIR, AND TOTALLY DEMEANING TO WOMEN AND GIRLS,' Trump wrote. 'Please be hereby advised that large scale Federal Funding will be held back, maybe permanently, if the Executive Order on this subject matter is not adhered to…This is a totally ridiculous situation!!!' Trump's comment was followed by an announcement from the US department of justice that it had launched an investigation into whether California had violated Title IX, the law that prohibits sex discrimination in educational programmes that receive federal funding. Local and state officials have also criticised Hernandez's participation, calling for the teenager to be prevented from competing. At a press conference yesterday, Clovis mayor Diane Pearce called for CIF to block Hernandez's participation following their rule amendments earlier in the week. 'Today, I call on CIF to do the right thing. Updates one and two were not enough, but the third time can be the charm,' Pearce said. 'CIF still has a chance to make it right by removing biological males from girls' sports.'

Trump says Chinese students in US will ‘be okay'
International students make up just under 6% of the US university population. (AFP pic) WASHINGTON : US President Donald Trump told reporters late yesterday he wanted to assure Chinese international students in the country that they would be fine amid his administration's crackdown on academia. Trump's administration this week said it would specifically target permissions for Chinese students, in its latest broadside against US higher education. But when asked yesterday what message he would send to Chinese college students in the country, Trump insisted: 'They're going to be okay. It's going to work out fine.' 'We just want to check out the individual students we have. And that's true with all colleges,' he told reporters. The softer tone comes after a judge on Thursday extended a temporary block on Trump's bid to prevent Harvard from enrolling international students. US secretary of state Marco Rubio vowed on Wednesday to 'aggressively' revoke visas to students from China. Rubio has already yanked thousands of visas, largely over students' involvement in activism critical of Israel's offensive in Gaza, but also over minor traffic violations and other infractions. The Trump administration has been in an ongoing showdown with academia, and Harvard in particular, demanding it provide a list of students that the government is interested in, something the prestigious university has declined to do. 'I don't know why Harvard's not giving us the list. There's something going on because Harvard is not giving us a list,' Trump said yesterday. 'They ought to give us a list and get themselves out of trouble,' he insisted, suggesting that 'they don't want to give the list because they have names on there that supposedly are quite bad.' At graduation ceremonies this week, Harvard University president Alan Garber received a one-minute standing ovation when he called for universities to stand 'firm' in the war the Trump administration has waged against students and schools. 'We want people that can love our country and take care of our country and cherish our country,' Trump said yesterday. International students on average make up just under 6% of the US university population – far below Britain, the second top destination for international students, where the figure is 25%.

US top court lets Trump revoke legal status for 500,000 migrants
Donald Trump campaigned for the White House on a pledge to deport millions of undocumented migrants. (AP pic) WASHINGTON : The US Supreme Court handed president Donald Trump a major victory today in his immigration crackdown, giving his administration the green light to revoke the legal status of half a million migrants from four Caribbean and Latin American countries. The decision puts 532,000 people who came from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela to the US under a two-year humanitarian 'parole' programme launched by former president Joe Biden at risk of deportation. And it marked the second time the highest US court has sided with Trump in his aggressive push to deliver on his election pledge to deport millions of non-citizens, through a series of policy announcements that have prompted a flurry of lawsuits. But the opinion sparked a scathing dissent from two justices in the liberal minority who said the six conservatives on the bench had 'plainly botched' their ruling and undervalued the 'devastating consequences' to those potentially affected. The revoked programme had allowed entry into the US for two years for up to 30,000 migrants a month from the four countries, all of which have dismal human rights records. But as Trump takes a hard line on immigration, his administration moved to overturn those protections, winning a ruling from the Supreme Court earlier this month that allowed officials to begin deporting some 350,000 Venezuelans. The latest case resulted from homeland security secretary Kristi Noem cancelling an 18-month extension of the temporary protected status of the migrants, citing in particular the 'authoritarian' nature of Nicolas Maduro's government in Venezuela. The department gave them 30 days to leave the country unless they had legal protection under another programme. 'Needless human suffering' 'The court has plainly botched this assessment today,' justices Ketanji Brown Jackon and Sonia Sotomayor wrote in their dissent. The justices said the migrants face being wrenched from family and returning to potential danger in their native countries – or opting to stay and risking imminent removal. 'At a minimum, granting the stay would facilitate needless human suffering before the courts have reached a final judgment regarding the legal arguments at issue, while denying the government's application would not have anything close to that kind of practical impact,' Jackson said. None of the other justices gave reasons for their decision, and the court was not required to make the vote public. The district court that barred the administration from revoking the migrants' status had argued that it was unlawfully applying a fast-track deportation procedure aimed at illegal immigrants to non-citizens protected by government programmes. At the Supreme Court, justice department lawyers said the 'district court has nullified one of the administration's most consequential immigration policy decisions' by issuing the stay. The high court's decision means the Trump administration can go ahead with its policy change, even as the litigation on the merits plays out in lower courts. Trump campaigned for the White House on a pledge to deport millions of undocumented migrants, evoking an 'invasion' of the US by hordes of foreign criminals. Among other measures, he invoked an obscure wartime law to fly more than 200 alleged Venezuelan gang members to a prison in El Salvador. But his programme of mass deportations has been thwarted or restricted by numerous court rulings, including from the Supreme Court and notably on the grounds that those targeted should be able to assert their due process rights. And the administration has been berated over its efforts to restrict immigration from poor countries with human rights concerns like Afghanistan and Haiti, while accepting white South African refugees amid baseless claims that they face 'genocide.' The Trump administration systematically accuses judges who oppose his immigration decisions of plundering his presidential national security powers.
