Anne Hathaway, 42, looks half her age at Met Gala after sparking plastic surgery rumours
Anne Hathaway looked half her age at the 2025 Met Gala after recently sparking plastic surgery rumours. The actress, 42, attended Monday's 'Superfine: Tailoring Black Style'-themed night wearing a Carolina Herrera oversized white button-up tucked into a beaded black-and-white-striped structured column skirt. Hathaway wore her long, dark locks pulled back and up into a beehive style, accentuating her near-flawless face. Opting for minimal makeup with an emphasis on clean skin, the Devil Wears Prada star once again fanned the flames that she may have undergone a little nip/tuck. 'Anne Hathaway doesn't age man,' one of many X users posted, with another echoing, 'Devil wear[s] Prada part 2. Anne Hathaway you never aged.' 'she doesn't look her age,' someone else argued, while a fourth proclaimed in a post translated from Spanish, 'I need to call a dermatologist to order the Anne Hathaway/Lindsay Lohan package.' Hathaway's strikingly youthful appearance became a topic of discussion last month after she sat front row at Ralph Lauren's fall 2025 fashion show. For the runway event, the brunette beauty wore her hair in a tight high ponytail, drawing everyone's eyes to her perfectly taut – and seemingly new – face. 'These plastic surgeons are getting real good,' one of several X users wrote, prompting someone else to agree, 'Money well spent i can't even tell.' Another fan chimed in, 'Whatever procedure/treatment Anne Hathaway had done to her face has her looking STUNNING. She's always been gorgeous but honey??' Fans speculated that the Princess Diaries star might have opted for everything from a nose job to a foxy eye and brow lift — in addition to top-of-the-line facials and skincare products, of course. Hathaway – who's known fame since she was a teenager – admitted to Express UK in 2008 that she was 'no exception' to experiencing the 'pressure' society puts on young women to become 'aware' of their looks 'in relation to other women's looks.' She lamented at the time, 'You just want to be cookie-cutter beautiful. And sometimes, you think, 'Maybe I could change something about myself to fit that mold.''

Leftovers can kill: Fried rice syndrome and the food poisoning bacteria you have never heard of
1 2 We've all been there—ordering in, cooking extra, and saving that delicious fried rice for the next day. But what if that seemingly harmless leftover meal could be a ticking time bomb? In a tragic case reported in Belgium, in 2008, a young adult died suddenly after consuming rice contaminated with Bacillus cereus. The individual had eaten fried rice that had been left at room temperature for several days. Within hours of consumption, he experienced severe symptoms and died. This is based on information from the study "Sudden Death of a Young Adult Associated with Bacillus cereus Food Poisoning " published in the Journal of Clinical Microbiology. "On 1 October 2008, a 20-year-old man became sick after eating a meal of leftovers of spaghetti with tomato sauce, which had been prepared 5 days before and left in the kitchen at room temperature. After school, he warmed the spaghetti in the microwave oven. Immediately after eating, he left home for his sports activities, but he returned 30 min later because of headache, abdominal pain, and nausea. At his arrival, he vomited profusely for several hours and at midnight had two episodes of watery diarrhea. He did not receive any medication and drank only water. After midnight, he fell asleep. The next morning at 11:00 AM, his parents were worried because he did not get up. When they went to his room, they found him dead," the report says. Fried rice syndrome A few years later, an American ER doctor, Joe Whittington decided to create awareness around this common practice of handling food. He took to TikTok to share a video where he cautioned people to not eat pasta and rice dishes that have not been refrigerated properly. "This 20-year-old man died of a condition that's commonly referred to as 'fried rice syndrome'. This is a condition in which you have bacterial overgrowth if pasta or rice is left at room temperature for too long. In medical school, we're taught the phrase 'Reheat rice? Be serious!' to remember which bacteria [b. cereus] causes this condition. So, how long is too long? You should not eat pasta or rice left at room temperature, unrefrigerated, for more than two hours," Express UK quoted him. Tips to handle leftover rice and pasta Bacillus cereus is a type of bacteria commonly found in soil and on raw foods. It thrives in starchy foods like rice, pasta, and potatoes. When these foods are cooked and then left at room temperature, B. cereus can multiply rapidly, producing toxins that cause food poisoning. "A broad range of foods have been implicated as vehicles of B. cereus. These include boiled or fried rice, cooked vegetables and meats, pasta, vanilla sauce, custards, casseroles, pastries, salads, soups, ice cream, and herbs and spices," USDA NIFA has said. While Bacillus cereus food poisoning is often mild and resolves without treatment, the potential for severe illness or death as in the case cited above exists, especially if food is mishandled. By following simple food safety practices , you can enjoy your leftovers without worry. Remember, when it comes to food safety, it's always better to be cautious than sorry. Preventing B. cereus food poisoning is straightforward with proper food handling practices: Refrigerate cooked rice within two hours of cooking. If the room temperature is above 32°C (90°F), refrigerate within one hour. Keep leftovers in shallow containers to allow for quick cooling. When reheating rice, ensure it reaches a temperature of 75°C (165°F) to kill any bacteria present. If in doubt, throw it out. It's better to waste a little food than risk your health.

Egypt's Giza Pyramids To Undergo USD 51 Million Revamp. What Tourists Can Expect
The Great Pyramid of Giza, the largest of the Giza Pyramids and the only surviving monument of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was built more than 4,000 years ago. Despite its incredible historical significance, many travellers have reported disappointing experiences at the iconic place in Egypt. This UNESCO World Heritage site has long faced criticism for poor management, overcrowding, aggressive and unregulated vendors, and ongoing concerns about animal cruelty, as reported by Express UK. As a result, numerous visitors have left the Giza Plateau feeling underwhelmed. Highlighting the issue of animal abuse, a recent investigation by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) uncovered disturbing conditions. The organization documented instances of animals being left to die along roadsides and subjected to severe mistreatment. "PETA has documented the routine punching, kicking, whipping, and starving of horses and camels at the pyramids," said PETA Asia Vice President Jason Baker. "Animals are literally ridden to death and then dumped like rubbish outside the gate. The Pyramids of Giza should symbolize Egypt's beauty and history - not unchecked animal abuse. The Egyptian government must act to remove these suffering animals from Giza." In response, a major initiative led by Orascom Pyramids Entertainment Services Company is set to transform the site, aiming to enhance both the tourist experience and animal welfare. The project, reportedly valued at USD 51 million (approximately Rs 434 crore), outlines several key upgrades. What Improvements Are Set To Take Place According to a statement from Orascom, the following changes are in progress: Forty-five electric buses are now available on-site, scheduled to run every five minutes. Several ancient tombs will be restored as part of the broader renovation. A new online ticketing system and an updated visitor centre are being introduced. Vendors not relocating to the designated commercial zones will be prohibited from operating. Measures will be implemented to improve the treatment and welfare of animals within the complex. With these transformations, Egypt hopes to restore the grandeur of the Giza Pyramids and offer a more enriching experience.
