Usher Apologizes To Sabrina Carpenter's Dad Following Cherry Ordeal At 2025 Met Gala
Oh, oh oh— Usher's so sorry! Following the 2025 Met Gala, Sabrina Carpenter posted a photo recap from her extravagant night out including the highlight of Usher feeding her a cherry during his performance at the event. The final slide was a screenshot of her father, David Carpenter's reaction to the infamous cherry moment. '? Weird,' he wrote in the text after resharing the photo of her and Ursher. The crooner immediately took to the comments to issue a light-hearted apology. 'Apologies Mr Carpenter [laughing emoji] [cherries emoji],' wrote the father of four. Inside this year's Met Gala, Usher was one of two surprise performers with the other being Stevie Wonder. The eternal heartthrob serenaded the crowd with 'U Don't Have To Call,' 'Yeah!,' and 'OMG.' Per Vogue, Wonder performed 'Sir Duke,' 'Black Man,' 'Higher Ground,' 'Isn't She Lovely,' 'Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I'm Yours),' 'I Wish,' and 'Superstition' before he and Ush sang 'Another Star' as a duet. The outlet noted that the show — and the evening which was in honor of Black dandyism — began on the Met steps as Silk & Sound, a 20-person chorus, wowed guests with a rendition of 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough.' When the party moved inside, the chorus covered an array of notable classics including Earth, Wind & Fire's 'Let's Groove,' Michael Jackson's 'Rock With You,' Bob Marley's 'Three Little Birds,' Al Green's 'Let's Stay Together,' Bill Withers' 'Lovely Day,' Luther Vandross' 'Never Too Much,' McFadden & Whitehead's 'Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now,' and even Stevie Wonder's 'Don't You Worry 'Bout a Thing.' Promptly after the Met Gala, Usher jetted off to London to close out his Past Present Future tour.

Suniel Shetty's Birthday Post For Paresh Rawal Amid Hera Pheri 3 Row: "A Wonderful Human Being"
Mumbai: Versatile actor Paresh Rawal turned 70 on Friday, and wishing him on his special day, his Hera Pheri co-star Suniel Shetty penned a special birthday wish for him, calling him a "wonderful human being". Showering him with love and respect, Suniel penned on his X timeline, "To the man... Who is a powerhouse of both Wit & Wisdom and an even more wonderful human being. Happy happy birthday Pareshji. Much love and respect always." Suniel also shared a photograph facing the camera with Paresh. To the man... Who is a powerhouse of both Wit & Wisdom and an even more wonderful human being. Happy happy birthday Pareshji. Much love and respect always. @SirPareshRawal — Suniel Shetty (@SunielVShetty) May 30, 2025 The post comes in the light of the ongoing tiff between Paresh and Akshay Kumar, following the former's exit from the third installment in the franchise, Hera Pheri 3. The controversy erupted after reports started doing the rounds that Paresh had walked out of Hera Pheri 3. After this, Akshay's production banner, Cape of Good Films, which is backing the project, filed a lawsuit against Paresh of Rs. 25 crores for abruptly quitting the drama. Meanwhile, a source close to Paresh questioned the film's original producer, Firoz Nadiadwala's silence in the matter. A source close to Paresh told IANS, 'Let's not forget, 'OMG' was a film Paresh ji helped develop from the ground up, adapted from a play he had performed for years. When it came to producing the film, he didn't blink. He placed his trust in Akshay Kumar out of deep love, respect, and, above all, faith. That bond has always been strong. Years later, OMG 2 came along, and this is where the truth gets blurry. Paresh ji had developed that story from scratch, with the intent of making it a standalone film. It was not meant to be OMG 2. But somewhere along the way, the script he shaped was rebranded into a franchise sequel. The role was written for him. The story was his. And yet, he chose to walk away quietly, gracefully. He didn't fight it. He didn't stop it. He didn't sue.'

Amid Hera Pheri 3 controversy, source close to Paresh Rawal questions silence of original creator Firoz Nadiadwala
In the wake of Paresh Rawal's exit from ' Hera Pheri 3, ' a source close to the veteran actor has questioned the silence of the film's original producer, Firoz Nadiadwala. The source pointed to Nadiadwala's absence from the conversation, questioning why the man behind the iconic franchise has chosen not to address the growing controversy. An insider shed light on the actor's quiet exit from 'Hera Pheri 3 ,' suggesting that his decision stems from a deeper sense of creative disillusionment rather than any sudden fallout. A close source to Paresh Rawal told IANS, 'Let's not forget, OMG was a film Paresh ji helped develop from the ground up, adapted from a play he had performed for years. When it came to producing the film, he didn't blink. He placed his trust in Akshay Kumar out of deep love, respect, and, above all, faith. That bond has always been strong. Years later, OMG 2 came along, and this is where the truth gets blurry. Paresh ji had developed that story from scratch, with the intent of making it a standalone film. It was not meant to be OMG 2. But somewhere along the way, the script he shaped was rebranded into a franchise sequel. The role was written for him. The story was his. And yet, he chose to walk away quietly, gracefully. He didn't fight it. He didn't stop it. He didn't sue.' 'Imagine the kind of disappointment and heartbreak that takes, to let go of something you created, just because it no longer stood for what it was meant to be. So, if he could walk away from that, stepping back from a mere promo shoot should hardly come as a shock. And amid all the noise around Hera Pheri, the real silence is deafening. Where is Firoz Nadiadwala, the original creator and producer? Why isn't he speaking? A franchise carries a legacy. It's not a shortcut to marketing. Audiences don't just buy tickets; they buy trust. And maybe it's time we stop letting them down. The story should always lead. Not the face,' the insider added. Earlier, Paresh Rawal's lawyer spoke about Firoz Nadiadwala, who is the cousin of producer Sajid Nadiadwala, explaining that the actor decided to withdraw from the project to protect his own interests while also preserving his relationship with Firoz. The actor's lawyer exclusively told IANS, 'Admittedly, they did not deliver the story, screenplay, and also a draft of a long-form agreement, which was fundamental to the engagement of our client. In the absence of these, and also since Mr. Nadiadwala, the producer of the original films, issued notice to our client and raised issues on the making of the film, our client chose to exit and returned the money with interest by terminating the term sheet.' Paresh Rawal exited Hera Pheri 3 For the unversed, the controversy ignited when reports surfaced that Paresh Rawal had exited 'Hera Pheri 3.' Shortly after, Akshay Kumar, who not only stars as one of the three main leads but also took on the role of producer after acquiring the film's rights from Firoz Nadiadwala, filed a lawsuit against the veteran actor. Paresh Rawal clarified that his departure was not due to any creative disagreements with his longtime collaborator Priyadarshan, whom he greatly respects. He emphasized that his choice to leave was a carefully considered decision. Akshay Kumar on people calling Paresh Rawal a 'fool' Recently, when asked about people labeling Paresh Rawal as 'foolish' for exiting 'Hera Pheri 3,' Akshay Kumar chose to stand by his co-star without directly addressing the controversy. He emphasized that, since the issue is currently under legal review, he prefers not to make any public statements. Nevertheless, Kumar made it clear that he does not support or approve of anyone insulting Rawal.

Hera Pheri 3 POLL RESULT: If not Paresh Rawal, fans think THIS ace actor will be best suited for Baburao's role
Paresh Rawal's exit from Hera Pheri 3 came as a shock to many. Those who were excited for the upcoming third instalment of the Hera Pheri franchise are worried about the film's future. Some also wondered who would play the iconic character Babu Rao since the actor is no more part of the film. Well, to get an answer to this burning question, we conducted a poll, and a majority of people opined that Pankaj Tripathi could nail the role of Baburao Ganpatrao Apte (Babu Bhaiya). Check out the result below! In the poll, the audience was asked to vote for their favorite actor among Sanjay Mishra, Boman Irani, Pankaj Tripathi, and Anupam Kher. Among the excited voters, close to 59% of people think the Murder Mubarak actor will be best suited to play the beloved character in Hera Pheri 3. Hera Pheri 3 controversy: After Paresh Rawal confirmed not being part of HP 3, Akshay Kumar (who is co-producing the film), through his production house, Cape of Good Films, reportedly sued Paresh Rawal for Rs 25 crore in damages. In a statement, the production house stated that Rawal formalized his commitment to the film by accepting Rs 11 lakh as part of his remuneration. It also mentioned that the 'sudden and unjustified withdrawal' of Rawal has caused severe financial losses to the company. Soon after, the OMG actor reportedly returned the Rs 11 lakh signing amount along with 11% interest. Recently, Paresh Rawal's legal team released their first official statement squashing claims of Kumar's legal team, which stated they incurred losses. Rawal's team told IANS, 'First, they accepted the monies but later, unfortunately, sent an untenable notice to our client when knowingly nothing was and is ready including no story and cloud over the title, so there can never be any loss. I hope they would accept this reality and move on from our client (sic).' Sharing the reason behind Rawal's exit, his team also noted that the makers did not deliver the story, screenplay, and also a draft of a long-form agreement. Hence, in the absence of these, since producer Firoz A. Nadiadwala issued notice to the Baghban actor and raised issues on the making of the film, Rawal chose to exit and returned the money with interest.
