Kate Hudson, 46, shows off abs in a bikini top during pool day with mine-me daughter
Kate Hudson used Instagram to recap a weekend getaway with her daughter Rani. Engaging her audience of 18.4 million on Tuesday evening, the 46-year-old multihyphenate posted photos from a stay at Four Seasons Resort and Residences Napa Valley. Included in the roundup of photos was an adorable snapshot of her and Rani, six, in a swimming pool with drinks set on the ledge in front of them. Another image showed the new music artist in an ab-baring blue bikini top and faded blue lounge shorts. She was there to perform at the two-day music festival BottleRock. Hudson, who's the nepo baby of Goldie Hawn, wrote in the caption, 'Thank you @fsnapavalley for being the perfect oasis during an unforgettable @bottlerocknapa weekend (and for making sure my glass was always full).' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Kate shares Rani with longtime fiancé Danny Fujikawa, 38. She is also mom to 21-year-old son Ryder Robinson, whom she shares with ex-husband Chris Robinson, and 13-year-old son Bingham Bellamy, whose dad is Matt Bellamy. The blonde beauty and Danny have been engaged since 2021, following the birth of their daughter in 2018. She has been performing music from her debut album Glorious — which was released on May 17, 2024 — over the last year. The Press Democrat, Napa and Sonoma County's newspaper, reviewed Kate's BottleRock performance after she took the stage in an off-the-shoulder, lacy, white mini dress. 'Actress-turned-singer Kate Hudson took a victory lap on the Verizon stage following the May release of her debut album, Glorious,' the newspaper wrote in part. The star began teasing her original music back in 2023. She wrote on Instagram at the time, '[Covid-19] lock down reminded me to have no creative regrets in life, take chances, don't let anyone determine why or when you chose to put art in the world, be fearless in moves you make.' The mother-of-three added, 'And music is my first creative love story that I would regret not sharing.' Kate's luxurious stay in Napa Valley included lots of wine. The silver screen siren was all smiles as she sipped a red variety In January 2023 Kate told E! News about her debut album, 'I've got 26 songs. We're dwindling them down.' She has been closely associated with the music world for years — she played a groupie in Almost Famous, sang a song in the movie Nine, her ex-husband Chris founded The Black Crowes and her ex-fiancé Matt is the frontman of Muse. 'It's just been a great, creative, completely immersive experience for me and something I had to get out and I'm getting it out!' she gushed to the outlet more than two years ago. Hudson added at the time, 'We'll see what happens.'

My aim is to make the most of this opportunity: Defender Suman Devi Thoudam after triumphant return to Indian women's hockey team
New Delhi [India], May 27 (ANI): Suman Devi Thoudam, who last played for India back in the year 2022, recently made a remarkable return to the Indian women's hockey team after a gap of three years as she made it to the squad, which is set to play in the upcoming European leg of the FIH Pro League 2025. Speaking on her return, Suman said, 'I'm thrilled to be making a comeback to the Indian squad. I first joined the national camp in 2016 and played for both the junior and senior national teams for a few years. My last outing with the senior team was three years ago in Bhubaneswar, where I played a Pro League match against the Netherlands in the year 2022.' When asked about her being dropped from the core team and the three years hiatus, the 25-year-old defender asserted that she never gave up on hockey and was determined to improve and earn her spot back in the national team. 'I collaborated with the coaches to further enhance my defensive skills, tackling, and man-to-man marking abilities in Sports Authority of India's (SAI) NCOE Delhi. Over the past three years, I've focused on developing these skills to earn my place back in the national squad.' Suman, who has even played under the captaincy of former Indian hockey player Rani, praised the unique qualities of her past and present captains and said, 'Every captain brings a distinct personality to the role, and both Rani and Salima Tete offer unique strengths as leaders. Salima, being one of the senior members of the team, has not only earned respect through her experience but has also likely shaped her leadership style by learning from Rani's example.' With the European leg of the FIH Pro League 2025 looming just a few weeks away, Suman is now determined to make the most of this opportunity and cement her spot in the team, 'Now that I've made my comeback to the senior team, I know I can do better. The coaches, including Harendra (Singh) sir and Vijay sir, have worked extensively on my game and given me opportunities to play in Australia and this leg of the Pro League, and I am not going to let this go. My long-term goal is to improve my game and make the most of this opportunity to represent India.' Suman, who hails from Imphal, Manipur, also advised young hockey players to never give up on their dreams and keep working towards it, she said, 'Life is a journey of highs and lows. Just because you're facing setbacks today doesn't mean that's where you'll stay. Believe in yourself, stay disciplined, and keep working hard as every sincere effort eventually finds its reward.' Suman will now eye to prove her mettle in the European leg of the FIH Pro League 2024-25, where the Indian team will play in London, Antwerp, and Berlin from June 14 to June 29. India will lock horns twice against each of their four opponents -- Australia, Argentina, Belgium, and China. They will begin their campaign in London with a clash against the Hockeyroos.(ANI)

‘High-stakes showdown' for Ncuti Gatwa's Time Lord teased for Doctor Who finale
The Reality War episode on Saturday will see the Doctor and the Time Lord villain, the Rani go head to head in a battle, which it is said will 'send shockwaves through the Whoniverse'. The Rani rejoined the series during the 803rd Interstellar Song Contest earlier this month, when Mrs Flood, played by EastEnders star Anita Dobson, bi-generated, splitting in half to reveal her true identity to be the renegade Time Lord, also portrayed by Archie Panjabi. Saturday's episode, Wish World, ended with Gatwa as the 15th Doctor falling from the sky, his companion Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) being taken away with guards, and Earth being destroyed. Emmy Award-winning The Good Wife star Panjabi, 52, said: 'In the finale, we see the Time Lord and the Time Lady go head-to-head in a high-stakes showdown. Who is going to win? Who will claim the victory? And you don't know what happens next.' She also said that 'Ncuti and Varada were rockstars, they made me feel like part of the gang from day one'. 'Playing that character is a blast, but being with such a warm and welcoming group made it something very special,' she also said. 'Anita has a wicked sense of humour and we got on like a house on fire. That relationship was effortless, and I hope the audience get to feel that chemistry on screen. 'When I met her, she gave me a big hug. I knew this was somebody I would not only connect with for the purposes of Doctor Who, but I would be in touch with for the rest of my life.' Panjabi also said she found it 'pure agony' to keep that she was playing the character, who first appeared in the BBC sci-fi series in 1985 in the Mark Of The Rani episode played by Howards' Way actress Kate O'Mara, from her family. She also said that the character is 'unforgettable', and she was 'keen to capture her essence, her strength, her presence, but also avoid mimicking' O'Mara. 'We're both different Ranis, but I did want to give that nod to her,' she said. 'The Rani is such an iconic character, and fans had been speculating and hoping for her return for a long time. Since Christmas 2023, I've been watching the show and seeing the excitement grow around Mrs Flood.' The Rani, from the same planet as the Doctor, Gallifrey, last appeared on screens in a 1993 BBC Children In Need special of the show called Dimensions In Time, which saw the Doctor's Tardis land in Albert Square for a crossover between Doctor Who and EastEnders. Sex Education and Barbie star Gatwa has played the Doctor since fellow Scottish actor David Tennant bi-generated in 2023. The latest season of Doctor Who comes to an end in The Reality War, which airs on Saturday at 6.50pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.

Watch: Rani Mukerji Jets Off In Style Amid Heavy Mumbai Rains
Last Updated: Rani Mukerji opted for a casual yet chic all-black look and wore a shirt paired with matching pants, dark shades and a handbag. Even heavy Mumbai rains could not stop Rani Mukerji from being the workaholic she is. Trust us when we say this, as the diva was snapped at the airport on Monday morning jetting off to an undisclosed location amid downpour in the city. Her appearance is a testament to her commitment to work. In a video shared on Instagram, the actress could be seen stepping out of her car and walking towards the airport entrance. The actress also treated the shutterbugs, stationed at the location with a warm smile and posed for them before the security check. She opted for a casual yet chic all-black look and wore a shirt paired with matching pants, dark shades and a handbag. Recently, reports suggested that the actress might be collaborating with superstar Shah Rukh Khan in his upcoming highly anticipated action thriller, King, after a long wait of 19 years. The last time they appeared together was in 2006 for Karan Johar's Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the shooting of King has already started at Mehboob Studios in Mumbai. Apart from SRK and Rani, the film also boasts an ensemble cast including Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Suhana Khan, Saurabh Shukla, Abhay Verma, Arshad Warsi, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff and others. The film is expected to be released in the second half of 2026. However, an official confirmation regarding the same from the makers is still awaited. Rani will also be seen in the much-awaited cop thriller film, Mardaani 3, slated to hit the big screens on February 27, 2026. Produced by Yash Raj Films, it will mark Rani's return as the fearless cop, Shivani Shivaji Roy.

Perhaps, This is Why The Innocent Men-Tourists Died in Pahalgam
Menu हिंदी తెలుగు اردو Home Politics Economy World Security Law Science Society Culture Editor's Pick Opinion Support independent journalism. Donate Now Opinion Perhaps, This is Why The Innocent Men-Tourists Died in Pahalgam Badri Raina 13 minutes ago The historical-cultural point is unmistakable: it is the women who always spoil the broth, both within the kitchen and on the battlefield. Illustration: Pariplab Chakraborty. Real journalism holds power accountable Since 2015, The Wire has done just that. But we can continue only with your support. Contribute now Now, at last, we know why 26 innocent men, mostly tourists, died at the hands of terrorists in Pahalgam: it was not because there was an intelligence failure, nor because no policemen patrolled the fatal site. It was because their women did not fight to save them. Had these women studied the life and work of Ahilyabai Holkar, they would have become Viranganas (warrior women). Never mind that the cited Ahilyabai was not a warrior woman but an educationist and social reformer. A spokesperson of the ruling BJP further illuminated us (Breaking With Agenda, News 24, 10 AM, May 25) as to how women warriors like the Rani of Jhansi had 'fought the Muslims' and the women visiting Pahalgam apparently lacked such motivation Never mind that Rani of Jhansi actually did not fight against the Muslims, but alongside Muslims, against the British. It would have helped, according to Ram Chander Jangra, the BJP member of parliament, if the men who were killed had taken some 'Agniveer' training; still, the fault lay primarily with the women who did not strike it hot against the gun-wielding terrorists. It must be Jangra's view that women are far too strong to have needed 'Agniveer' training either. The historical-cultural point of this is unmistakable: it is the women who always spoil the broth, both within the kitchen and on the battlefield. This despite the fact that no country in the world worships as many goddesses as we do in India, which also we lovingly have christened 'Ma Bharti' too. Yet, rue the failure of these women to rise to the appellation we bestow on the nation. Despicably trashy as this read of the killings in Pahalgam is that India's mass mind has come to be so addled that there will be no dearth of men and women too, both among the populace and the electronic media who will know how to filibuster the gutter-speak of the parliamentarian away from the condemnation and chastisement it deserves. Quite recently, India's dashing minister of external affairs stoutly defended democracy as a system of government, and then the great strengths of Indian democracy in particular. What better proof of the strength of his thesis may be provided than that such voices like that of Jangra – along with Vijay Shah, who dubbed Colonel Sofia Qureshi as sister of Pakistani terrorists, and Jagdish Devda, who gloated how the Indian armed forces now bow at Modi ji's feet – are free to go berserk with criminal speak while voices that would curb their fulminations are reminded of limits on free speech. Who knows the truth of that conundrum better than Ali Khan Mahamudabad, now gagged from sense and sensibility? Badri Raina taught at Delhi University.
