Huang Yang Tiantian on the verge of cancellation over earrings issue
3 Jun - Rumours are rife that actress Huang Yang Tiantian is now facing cancellation over the pair of earrings she wore last month. The whole issue sparked after the 17-year-old actress shared a photo of the earrings during her school coming-of-age ceremony, saying that she borrowed them from her mother. As per usual, netizens decided to investigate and found the earrings to be worth RMB 2.3 million. They also went on to uncover images of Huang showing off her lavish lifestyle that they said would be impossible for a teenage actress, or even a former Ya'an government employee like her father. Although Huang's father has released a statement saying that the earrings were not authentic, the issue sparked an investigation by the Ya'an Discipline Inspection Committee against him. It is now reported that Huang is also facing problem in her work, as her newly filmed drama, "Ice Lake Rebirth" is reportedly at risk of being pulled, while the upcoming project "Sparrow Bones" (translated title) allegedly has replaced her with actress Xiang Hanzhi. Although it was reported that Huang herself withdrew from the latter drama, no further details were given. Huang started her career as a child actress, gaining recognition for her portrayal of the younger versions of lead characters in dramas like "Princess Agents" and "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace". She is also known for her resemblance to Zanilia Zhao, earning her the nickname "Little Zanilia Zhao". (Photo Source: Huang Yang Tiantian Weibo)

Peacock cancels FIVE shows as fans argue new romantic comedy ‘didn't get a fair chance'
PEACOCK has cancelled five shows, leading fans to argue that one comedy 'didn't get a fair chance.' In April, Peacock confirmed the horror-thriller series Teacup and Hysteria! are both being axed after one season. 4 Joining the shows being dropped are Mr Throwback and dark comedy Based on a True Story, which stars Kaley Cuoco. Now, it's also been revealed that 'Laid' has been cancelled by Peacock too. The series stars Stephanie Hsu as Ruby Yao, who discovers that her former sexual partners have been dying off, in the order with which she slept with them. But despite the first season ending on a cliffhanger, Peacock has now cancelled it - much to the disappointment of fans. Fans have complained that Laid got barely any promotions, marketing or ads, so they've insisted it 'didn't get a fair chance' to succeed. After the news was revealed, one person wrote: 'This was a lovely show. They did no promotions btw.' A second penned: 'Where was the promo they didn't even get a chance,' and a third echoed: 'Ugh!! This is the worst!!' Someone else said: 'Another case of original ideas being ignored to the point of letting them rot and die.' And another person wrote: 'Peacock should just give up on original content. They're obviously not good at keeping a show past 2 seasons.' Peacock cancels four shows with A-list star's 'amazing' comedy axed after just two seasons Others complained that they'll never know what happens after the cliffhanger. But it's not the first time that fans have been left disappointed by Peacock cancelling shows recently. Revealing their sadness over the axe of Based On A True Story, one person said: 'I found out Based on a True Story was recently canceled and I'm so bummed.' And another furious viewer sent a message to Peacock, saying: 'Very disappointed to hear that you have canceled Based on a True Story after 2 seasons. 'I am probably going to cancel my paid subscription and just boycott your channel altogether. 'The show received a 79% percent rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Very stupid decision.' The first season of Based on a True Story premiered in June 2023 with a second following in November last year. Kaley, 39, stars as Ava Bartlett, a pregnant real estate agent who is passionate about true crime. The series also features Chris Messina, who plays Ava's husband and former tennis pro Nathan, and Tom Bateman as Matt Pierce. Kaley previously told how she took the job due to the show reflecting a lot of her real life. She told Awards Review: "A lot of boxes were checked for me in this show. The writing was fantastic. "I love true crime. I literally fall asleep to Dateline every single night. I watch repeats, I listen to murder podcasts. "I also grew up playing tennis. There's a lot of parts from this show that made sense for me. And knowing that I was going to work with Chris Messina was something I really wanted to do, too." 4 4

Shakira cancels sixth concert of world tour amid ongoing issues
Shakira canceled a Saturday concert in Washington, D.C. – her sixth cancellation this year. The popular Colombian singer was scheduled to perform this weekend at Nationals Park, although it seems the cancellation of her Thursday show in Boston at Fenway Park made it impossible for her and her team to make it to the show. Capital Pride Alliance, the organization that had put together the event, shared in a statement on social media, "Like Shakira's fans and our friends and family who have traveled from around the world to join us in DC this weekend, we are deeply disappointed that unforeseen circumstances have forced the cancellation of both this week's concert in Boston and [Saturday]'s concert at Nationals Park." The organization also shared another statement that was given to people who had purchased tickets to the event. "Due to complications with the previous show in Boston, Shakira's full tour production cannot be transported to Washington, D.C. in time for her scheduled performance at Nationals Park on Saturday, May 31," that statement read. "As a result, the D.C. show has been canceled. Despite every effort to make it happen, it is not possible to move forward as planned." Shakira shared a message of her own to her Instagram followers, writing, "Nothing more painful for an artist than having to cancel two sold-out stadium shows like Boston and DC for reasons beyond one's control." "Thank you for being there in the good times and the not so good," she continued. "We've cruised together through every bump in the road, and you always take me to the other side. Los quiero con todo." In February, Shakira launched her "Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran" world tour in South America. Shortly after, she canceled a concert in Lima, Peru – her third show of the tour – because she'd been hospitalized with an "abdominal issue." A week later, a concert in Colombia was postponed when the roof of the stage "suffered damage that puts at risk the safety of the artist, her staff and, most importantly, that of the audience" while a production team was assembling her show, the promotor explained in a statement translated by Billboard. At the beginning of March, she was set to perform two shows in Santiago, Chile, both of which were canceled just hours before the first was slated to begin. In a lengthy statement she shared on social media at the time, translated from Spanish to English by People, she explained in part that there was an issue with the stage assembly, and that it was "not stable enough to guarantee the safety of my band, dancers, fans and me." "There are two things I would never compromise: the security of my team and that of my fans, and I would never offer a show below the quality standards that you all deserve," she wrote. "My heart is broken in a thousand pieces to not be able to perform for you due to reasons out of my control." Stage safety concerns were once again to blame for the cancellation of her Thursday performance in Boston at Fenway Park. A representative for Live Nation told Fox News Digital, "During a routine pre-show check, structural elements were identified as not being up to standard, so the shows were canceled. All team members are safe." After the cancellation of Saturday's show in Washington, D.C., social media users began discussing what seems to be a developing trend for the tour. "This is just disrespectful to her fans… last minute every time," one person wrote on X, formerly Twitter. Another wrote, "I love shakira to death but i can't accept any excuses. no matter how many technical issues they bring out. this is is just her fault. cancelling your concert on the show day is just unacceptable. idk if you know how this have impacted your image." "I can understand one or two shows, but 6 is ridiculous!" another post read. "Figure it out before or get a regular stage that doesn't extend on the floor since it seems like that is the issue here." Others were upset at the news, including one fan who wrote, "Can't believe this ! Ughhhh! My entire weekend was planned around this show." Another insisted, "All I know is, Shakira will never cancel or reschedule if things are up to her."

Check your Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order ASAP, as some retailers are reportedly cancelling them
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Some US retailers have reportedly cancelled Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders This allegedly includes Walmart, Target, and GameStop Consider double checking the status of your pre-order if you have placed one If you managed to secure a Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order recently, then you might want to check your email inbox as it seems as though some retailers have started cancelling them. As reported by Vice, would-be Nintendo Switch 2 owners have been flooding the r/switch subreddit to complain that their pre-orders of the upcoming Nintendo console have been inexplicably cancelled. The majority of those reporting cancellations seem to have shopped at Walmart. "We're sorry, we had to cancel these items," reads a message in the Walmart app on one posted screenshot. In these instances there seems to be no real explanation as to why the Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order was cancelled, though I suspect that it may be due to stock issues. Some retailers likely banked on having access to much more stock than they do, leading to the need to cancel certain pre-orders. In the comments to these posts, others are reporting cancellations from Target and GameStop. Bear in mind that these cancellations are currently unverified, though it definitely wouldn't hurt to double check your order just in case. If you're unlucky enough to be affected, visit our how to pre-order the Nintendo Switch 2 guide for recommendations on how to get your hands on one. The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch on June 5 and demand is likely to be high. According to industry analysts, it could sell 100 million units by the end of 2029 and become the "fast-selling console ever". It costs $449.99 / £395.99 or $499.99 / £429.99 for a bundle that includes a digital copy of Mario Kart World. It seems Hellblade 2 is finally getting a physical release to coincide with the PS5 launch this summer if this listing is correct The Nintendo Switch 2 has been spotted at retailers ahead of its June release - but the reported stock numbers aren't huge Yes, you can use a USB mouse on Nintendo Switch 2, as demonstrated by a Koei Tecmo producer
