ICYMI: Miss Universe UAE just slayed the 78th Cannes Film Festival red carpet
It's really no surprise that when the first ever Miss Universe UAE arrives on the red carpet in another unapologetic look at the Cannes Film Festival, heads will turn and onlookers will be gasping–true fan behaviour, tbh. If anyone knows a thing or two about Emilia Dobreva, it's that whenever she attends ultra-exclusive events, she'll going shut down the red carpet in a jaw-dropping ensemble. Back again another year of the infamous Cannes Film Festival, the proud 'wife and mama of 3' surely enough dazzled in a couture gown while dripped in the most dreamiest jewels ever. For the grand opening ceremony, Emilia wore JoliPoli Couture, a Vietnamese brand known for its high-drama designs. Her black and white dress featured stunning pearl embellishments that was giving pure queen energy. And becasue a little ✨drama✨ won't hurt anyone, the gown came complete with a sweeping arm wrap. Oh, and despite the Cannes' new rules reportedly banning large trains on the carpet, she still managed to slay (the wrap removable, btw). As for accessories? Let's just say it was uber-perfection. Complementing her already gorgeous outfit, she completed the red carpet look with a slew of jewellery from Iranian London-based jewellery brand Hassanzadeh. Since making history as the UAE's first Miss Universe, the 27-year-old (soon to be 28th this coming May 18, 2025) has been consistently making statements left and right. She recently walked the runway at Dubai Fashion Week and has been cementing herself in the world of fashion. Who is Emilia Dobreva? Here's EYNTK about the UAE's first Miss Universe.

Interior minister blames ‘negligence' for Iran port blast that killed 46
TEHRAN: Iran's minister of interior on Monday blamed 'negligence' for a massive explosion that killed 46 people at the country's largest commercial port, with firefighters still battling a blaze at the facility two days later. The blast took place on Saturday at the Shahid Rajaee Port in Iran's south near the strategic Strait of Hormuz, a waterway through which one-fifth of global oil output passes. 'The death toll in the Shahid Rajaee Port fire has reached 46,' the official IRNA news agency reported, quoting Mehrdad Hassanzadeh, the crisis management director for Hormozgan province. Officials have said more than 1,000 people were injured, with Hassanzadeh noting most had since been released after treatment. Only '120 wounded are still in hospital,' Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni, who is in the area, told state TV on Monday. He added that 'culprits have been identified and summoned,' and that the blast was caused by 'shortcomings, including noncompliance with safety precautions and negligence.' Iran's state TV showed images of firefighters still dousing the flames Monday, and said the damage would be assessed after the fire was fully brought under control. Heavy charcoal-black smoke continued to billow over low flames at part of the site, above which a firefighting helicopter flew, pictures from the Iranian Red Crescent showed. Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has ordered a probe into the incident. It was not immediately clear what caused the explosion but the port's customs office said it likely resulted from a fire that broke out at the hazardous and chemical materials storage depot. CCTV images on social media showed it began gradually, with a small fire belching orange-brown smoke among a few containers stacked outside, across from a warehouse. A small forklift truck drives past the area and men can be seen walking nearby. About one minute after the small fire and smoke become visible, a fireball erupts as vehicles pass nearby, with men running for their lives. President Masoud Pezeshkian visited hospitals treating the wounded on Sunday in the nearby city of Bandar Abbas. Since the explosion, authorities have ordered all schools and offices in the area closed, and have urged residents to avoid going outside 'until further notice' and to use protective masks. The New York Times quoted a person with ties to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss security matters, as saying that what exploded was sodium perchlorate — a major ingredient in solid fuel for missiles. Defense ministry spokesman Reza Talaei-Nik later told state TV that 'there has been no imported or exported cargo for military fuel or military use in the area.' Iran's ally Russia has dispatched specialists to help battle the blazes. Authorities have declared Monday a national day of mourning, while three days of mourning began Sunday in Hormozgan province, where the port is located. The blast occurred as Iranian and US delegations were meeting in Oman for high-level talks on Tehran's nuclear program, with both sides reporting progress. While Iranian authorities so far appear to be treating the blast as an accident, it also comes against the backdrop of years of shadow war with regional foe Israel. According to The Washington Post, Israel launched a cyberattack targeting the Shahid Rajaee Port in 2020.

Woman Goes Viral After Finding Unconventional Way to Walk Her Dog on Vacation (Exclusive)
Emilee Hassanzadeh was visiting her hometown in Minnesota when she and her sister decided to go to Starbucks and take her dog Wendell But when the dog mom went to grab Wendell, she realized she'd forgotten his leash The sisters started searching around for something they could use, before landing on an extension cord Hassanzadeh recorded Wendell's adventures on the extension cord and posted it to TikTok, where it's since gone viral, amassing more than 400,000 views Emilee Hassanzadeh and her dog Wendell were visiting her home state of Minnesota when the pair decided to drive 20 minutes to Hassanzadeh's sister's house to catch up. She put Wendell, who's 4 years old, in the car and turned on the seat heater. Once they arrived, she took him out and let him play around her sister's house while they chatted. After a while, Hassanzadeh and her sister decided to get some exercise and head to Starbucks for coffee, just a half-mile away. But when the dog mom went to grab Wendell, she realized she'd forgotten something. "I didn't bring a leash," Hassanzadeh tells PEOPLE exclusively. "So we started searching around [my sister's] house for something we could use. She's never had a dog before, and I'm the crazy dog lady of the family, so it was really shocking that she didn't have one." "I'm like, 'Okay, do you have a rope? A ribbon? Maybe an infinity scarf?' " the N.Y.C.-based actress and singer recalls. "My sister had just moved into a new house and was doing this minimalist thing, so she didn't have any odds and ends, which is so weird to me. I have tons of odds and ends."

"I'm thinking, 'Can we use that? Is that crazy? Are people going to look at us funny?' " she remembers. "My sister's like, 'Just leave him at home, Emilee.' But I'm thinking, no way — he needs a pup cup, and he wants to get his steps in too. We've been cooped up in Minnesota, and it's snowing." So, Hassanzadeh proceeded to tie the extension cord around Wendell's harness, and the sisters set out on their way. The whole time, Hassanzadeh says she felt ridiculous. "It probably didn't look that weird, but I felt crazy because all his leashes in New York are designer," she adds. "He's a stylish dog. He's got some Fendi — we call it 'Wendy and Fendi' — and all my friends make fun of me for spending more money on his clothes and accessories than I do on my own. So, the fact that I'm walking him with an extension cord is just ... ridiculous."

Once the sisters and Wendell arrived at Starbucks, Hassanzadeh went to order a drink from the barista. As she was ordering, feeling self-conscious about Wendell being on an extension cord, she looked at the barista and said, " 'Hey, total disclaimer — I am not trying to electrocute my dog. I forgot a leash, and I really didn't want him to miss out on a pup cup.' " Instantly, the barista laughed and replied, "Oh my God, you did the right thing. We're so glad you brought him!" "Everyone thought it was hilarious, and they were cracking up," she adds, recalling the rest of the customers in the store reacting to the extension cord mishap. "Wendell was honestly just thrilled because he was getting so much attention from everyone — pets, kisses, you name it." In the moment, Hassanzadeh pulled out her phone and recorded Wendell's adventures in Starbucks on the extension cord. Later, she posted it to TikTok, where it's since gone viral, amassing more than 400,000 views. She says this incident has made her realize how in addition to her phone, wallet and keys, she needs to add "dog leash" to her checklist of things to always have with her. "I posted it thinking my friends would see it and laugh," she says. "Then I went to a yoga class, and when I got out, I saw that it had hundreds of thousands of views. I was like, 'Oh my God, what?' I honestly wasn't expecting that at all, and it made me laugh so much reading through all the comments. There were so many people sharing what they've had to use to walk their dogs in a pinch when they've forgotten a leash." "This one woman said, 'Yeah, I had to walk my dog with a microphone.' And that was hysterical — like, that's pretty on-brand for us. I'm a singer, and I do have a microphone lying around my house. Someone else mentioned using pantyhose. Another girl talked about using her car charger to walk her mini dachshund. There was a tube sock. People were using everything under the sun, and I was just cracking up scrolling through the comments." Read the original article on People
