Emma Stone attacked by bee at Cannes with Pedro Pascal, Austin Butler
Taking Cannes by swarm! Emma Stone looked picture-perfect on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday — until one bee found a liking to her. Wearing a sleek white gown with a bib-like neckline to the premiere of her upcoming film 'Eddington,' the actress, 36, appeared calm and collected while posing for photos with her co-stars Pedro Pascal and Austin Butler. Advertisement However, all hell broke loose when a bee almost landed on the Oscar winner. 11 Emma Stone's bee attack. CLEMENS BILAN/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock 11 Emma Stone, Austin Butler and Pedro Pascal. CLEMENS BILAN/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock Advertisement 'Is that a bee?' she asked Pascal as it buzzed around their heads. The irritating insect wouldn't leave the A-listers alone. In a video of the incident posted to MTV's Instagram, Stone can be heard warning Butler, 'It's a bee. There's a bee.'

REUTERS The 'Elvis' actor, 33, then tried to blow the bee away, only seemingly infuriating it and escalating the scary situation. The bee began buzzing incessantly above the superstars but took an interest in Stone. Advertisement Lunging backwards in sheer panic, Stone's face said it all as she squirmed out of Pascal's grasp in an attempt to dodge the pesky insect. 11 The star lunged backward when the irritated bee wouldn't leave her alone. REUTERS 11 Austin Butler and Pedro Pascal laughed as they watched the bee above. CLEMENS BILAN/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock 11 But it was no laughing matter to Emma. REUTERS At one point, the 'Kinds of Kindness' actress even cowered down on the red carpet, sinking low toward the ground to avoid it as Pascal and Butler tried to swat it away while laughing at their co-star's dramatic reaction. Thankfully, no one was hurt — and the bee made a buzz at Cannes, popping up on social media with several declaring it was the true star of the film festival this year. 'The bee wants a good close up of the stars,' one person declared. 'Oh hello, basically stalking,' joked another. 'All the wishes to be a fly on the wall answered,' a third responded, while someone else wrote that Pascal 'is sweet like honey. That's why bees follow.' 11 The actress appeared terrified. REUTERS Advertisement 11 Her co-stars laughed as they stepped in and helped her. REUTERS Their movie 'Eddington' is a Western drama that takes place in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic, with tensions coming to a head when neighbors are pitted against each other in their small town. Pascal plays the mayor Ted Garcia, who has a stand-off with the town's sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix). Stone stars as Joe's wife, Louise, and Butler plays the mysterious character Vernon Jefferson Peak. The Ari Aster-directed movie hits theaters July 18.

Niviere David/ Stone's bee freak-out wasn't the only highlight of the Cannes Film Festival. After the festival organizers implemented a new dress code, banning nudity and or 'excessively voluminous' clothing, Halle Berry was forced to change. Advertisement The ex-'Bond' actress revealed she had a different dress in mind during the event's opening night gala on Tuesday but it didn't follow the guidelines. 'I had an amazing dress by Gupta that I cannot wear tonight because it's too big of a train,' Berry said ahead of opening night. 'I'm not going to break the rules.'

America's most famous river journey is also highly underrated
We drive from the ship to Graceland, surely more magical than Disneyland for Elvis Presley fans. Much more than a museum, the former home of Elvis and his family is an invitation to metaphorically step into the king's blue suede shoes for a day. To do it justice takes hours, for the scope and quality of his personal effects on display is vast. In the Jungle Room, Elvis' tropical man cave, it's not hard to imagine his ghost lounging on the green shag pile carpet. His pink Cadillac gleams in the Presley Motors Automobile Museum, while the bling and dazzle of his stage costumes are an exercise in fabulous maximalism. At Gladys' Diner (named in honour of Elvis' mother), a peanut butter banana toastie tastes better than I expect it to. I skip the bacon-grease glaze. Over at Sun Studio, the Elvis tour continues, with a history lesson in how legendary producer Sam Phillips launched the careers of many early rock icons. In 1953, a teenage Elvis recorded two demo tapes as a gift for his mum. Phillips, recognising the kid's talent and charisma, brought him back in for more recording sessions. The rest is history. Memphis is also a key location in the civil rights movement, and has become a place of pilgrimage, education and remembrance. It was in Memphis that Dr Martin Luther King was assassinated on April 4, 1968, on the balcony of the Lorraine motel. A popular accommodation choice for African-American travellers during the segregation era, the motel has been transformed into the National Civil Rights Museum. Saddle up for Nashville It's a three-hour drive from Memphis to Nashville, an interstate highway journey that passes quickly as I enhance it with my iPhone soundtrack of classic Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Patsy Cline tunes. The two-night post-cruise Nashville extension tour leans in to the rich musical heritage of the city, a place where countless stars of country, blues, folk, soul and gospel music have found their feet and their fame. Inspired by Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and other boot-scooting mega-stars of country, Nashville is a supremely popular destination for bachelorette getaways. Along the neon-lit Broadway strip of live music bars, many of them owned by the biggest names on the Billboard Country charts, we see groups of prancing young women dressed in the cos-play gear of the genre: Western hats, cowgirl boots, denim miniskirts and lots of fringing. Many of those bar-owning big names are honoured at the Country Music Hall of Fame, an impressive, high-tech, interactive museum. With so many legendary attractions to visit in a couple of days, I trot from one end of Nashville to the other, fuelled by delicious barbecued beef brisket, pulled pork and coleslaw. The grand dame landmark is the Ryman Auditorium, home until 1974 of the world's longest-running live radio show, the Grand Ole Opry. While the show now has a permanent, 4400-seat home at the Grand Ole Opry House, some 20 kilometres from downtown Nashville, the Ryman remains a must-visit for its incredible acoustics and legacy as the 'mother church' of country music. Across the street, the National Museum of African American Music tells another story – that of the incredible influence African-American music has had on American culture. If you love the music of Elvis Presley, you can thank the influence of black music, particularly gospel and rhythm and blues. From the earliest spirituals, rooted in African traditions and sung by enslaved people as religious expression and secret codes, to the music world domination of Beyonce and her contemporaries, credit is given where it's due. Uplifted in the South Two weeks in the Deep South have flown by, and it's now time for our Viking journey to come to an end. The music, the flavours, the heartbreaking history and incredibly warm welcome create unforgettable memories. Say what you will about politics in the US, but the charming people of the South and their famous hospitality sure do leave a sweet impression. The person-to-person connections seem stronger and more sincere than ever, even more so when locals hear an Australian accent. 'Thank you for coming, we're so glad you're here,' is a sentiment visitors will hear, over and over. 'Y'all come back soon now.' Five other great rivers of the world to cruise Yangtze River For a taste of Chinese cuisine, culture and spectacular scenery, consider the Yangtze. Most cruises pass through the Three Gorges area, known for dramatic, towering cliffs and lush valleys. The Nile Egypt's mighty Nile River is hot, hot, hot this year, and not just in the sweltering summer months. Avid cruisers are seizing the opportunity to explore ancient sites, mystical temples and fascinating museums. The Danube (and the Rhine) A river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam is a classic Europe cruise itinerary for a reason, winding along the Danube and the Rhine rivers past interesting cities, charming small towns and pretty countryside. The hearty food is reliably delicious and the port stops provide enough variety to keep the most inquiring minds entertained: thermal bathing one day in Budapest, classical music the next in Vienna. The Seine A cruise that begins with a starry sail-away from moonlit Paris bodes well for a good time. And so it is with Seine River cruise itineraries that typically include visits to Monet's gardens at Giverny, Joan of Arc's old stomping grounds in Rouen, and the Normandy landing beaches. As you would expect in France, there are also visits to flower markets, patisseries and wineries. The Amazon The awesomely potent Amazon runs for 6400 kilometres through South America's biodiverse rainforest and jungle. Cruising is a smart choice to cover the most ground, some of which is very remote, with many itineraries beginning in Peru or northern Brazil in a region that is home to about 10 per cent of the world's known animal species. Loading The details Cruise Discover Southern heritage and quaint towns along the banks of the Mississippi on Viking's eight-day Mississippi Delta Explorer journey. From $6495 a person in a Deluxe Verandah with savings up to $4800 a couple on new 2025, 2026 and 2027 sailings. Available now through to June 30, 2025. Longer cruises on the Mississippi (11, 15 and 22 days) are also available.

Video: Owner's Way of Introducing Dog to Baby Siblings Is Smart & Adorable
Nothing compares to the bond between furry friends and babies, as common belief suggests they share the purest form of love. This video echoed that same love, showing a dog sharing his blanket with his baby siblings in what appeared to be the most heartwarming Instagram post. So keep your tissues ready because this compilation will have you feeling emotions you didn't know you had. It's also important to note the smart and adorable parenting move to introduce pets to newborns to establish a sense of familiarity before the official meet. It all started in 2019, when Evlis' dog parents gave him his first baby sibling's blanket, as seen in the viral video. The text explained that the Labrador 'got a baby brother and a blanket that smelled just like him from the hospital.' Wagging his tail and appearing eager to meet his brother, Ted, all the pooch wanted was to give it to the baby, forming a lifelong relationship and sharing the purest form of love. Then, in 2025, the parents wrapped their baby girl in the same blanket and gave it to him so he could get familiar with her scent before meeting her. The clips, recorded years apart, showed Elvis' excitement before and upon meeting his hooman siblings, and it's the most genuine thing you'll see today. During both instances, the furry baby looked eager to share his blanket with the babies. In fact, as the post progressed, it showed him bringing it back to his sister, who came into this world only recently, just like he did with his baby brother. The caption further explained in his point of view that he did so because it felt 'like the right thing to do.' Dogs are always gentle with babies, and Elvis' reaction to meeting his siblings and sharing his blanket proved the point. One commenter shared their blessings for the pooch for being 'a good big brother.' Another user emotionally noted that you only understand how 'special' labs are when you have one, adding that the post made them cry and miss their family dog. A third user applauded the parents' 'smart and loving way to introduce Elvis to his new siblings each time.' The post Video: Owner's Way of Introducing Dog to Baby Siblings Is Smart & Adorable appeared first on DogTime.

Roadies XX: Neha Dhupia Walks Out from the Set During a Heated Argument with Gautam Gulati
The latest episode of the controversial reality show Roadies XX left everyone shocked after eight contestants were evicted. While only one contestant from Elvis' gang, King, was evicted, Neha saw three of her contestants leave the show. It was a very emotional and heartbreaking moment for the gang leader. Moreover, the promo of the upcoming episode is out, and it promises a lot of drama, shocking revelations, and more. What caught many eyeballs was a clip of Neha Dhupia and Gautam Gulati getting into a major fight. It started with Neha making some remarks against Gautam, which he opposed. The two got into a heated argument, ultimately leading Neha to walk out of the set. The clip has been circulating on the internet, with fans giving mixed reactions. While many praised Neha for always standing up for herself, others found her actions a bit disrespectful. The latest episode was packed with several other moments that caught attention. During the episode, Vijay Ravi explained how every single vote in the vote-out round would matter, and even one vote against a contestant could lead to their elimination from the show. Initially, Neha's entire gang was evicted, and it seemed like Neha might possibly leave the show too. She broke down emotionally, expressing how much her gang meant to her. However, the contestants were given a second chance to perform a task. As a result, three members from her gang exited the show, while the remaining three stayed.
