Josh Allen Marries Hailee Steinfeld in Romantic Southern California Ceremony

NFL Star Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld Get Married in Dreamy California Ceremony

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and actor Hailee Steinfeld tied the knot on Saturday, according to multiple media reports.

Pictures emerged from the power couple’s wedding that took place in Southern California, where both Allen and Steinfeld live.

Photos obtained by “People” magazine show Steinfeld, in a white strapless gown, walking down the aisle as well as the couple sharing a kiss.

The timing and location of the wedding were closely guarded secrets, though Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins let the cat out of the bag in March by revealing the date as May 31. He later backtracked, saying he didn’t know anything.

Despite the pending wedding, Allen was present for the start of the Bills voluntary series of spring practices, which opened on Tuesday. The Bills return to practice on Monday, though Allen isn’t scheduled to address the media until the Bills open their mandatory sessions on June 10.
Allen, who turned 29 last week, and the 28-year-old Steinfeld were engaged during the Bills bye week in November, when the quarterback proposed on a California cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.

The two were first linked in the spring of 2023, when they were photographed dining together in New York City. Steinfeld has since begun attending Bills home games and the couple was inseparable at the NFL Awards ceremony in February, when Allen credited Steinfeld upon accepting the league’s MVP honor.

Allen followed suit in April in being spotted with Steinfeld arriving for an after-party following premier of the movie “Sinners,” which stars Steinfeld.

Steinfeld began her acting career at the age of 10, and earned an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress for her role as Mattie Ross in the Coen brothers’ 2010 remake of “True Grit.”

Allen is entering his eighth NFL season. In March, he signed a contract extension worth $330 million.

Brigitte Macron Caught on Camera Pushing Emmanuel Macron’s Face During Hanoi Visit

Emmanuel Macron & his wife Brigitte Macron

Hanoi, Vietnam — French President Emmanuel Macron's office on Monday downplayed an incident in which his wife appeared to push his face away as he arrived in Vietnam to begin a Southeast Asian tour.

Video shot by The Associated Press in Hanoi on Sunday evening shows Macron's plane door opening, revealing him. His wife Brigitte's arms then emerge from the left of the open doorway, she places both hands on her husband's face and gives it a shove.

The president appears startled but quickly recovers and turns to wave through the open door. She remains concealed by the aircraft body, making it impossible to see her facial expression or body language.

A screengrab from AP video shows French President Emmanuel Macron inside his airplane right after arriving at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi, Vietnam, May 25, 2025, with his wife Brigitte Macron's hands on his face.

They proceed down the staircase for the official welcome by Vietnamese officials, though Brigitte Macron does not take her husband's offered arm.

The video clip circulated rapidly online, promoted particularly by accounts that are habitually hostile to the French leader.

Macron's office initially denied the authenticity of the images, before they were confirmed as genuine.

Later, Macron told reporters that he and his wife had just been joking around.

"We are horsing around and, really, joking with my wife," he said, calling reports on the incident overblown: "It becomes a sort of geo-planetary catastrophe."

A close associate of the president earlier described the incident as a couple's harmless "squabble."

Another member of his entourage also played down the significance of the incident.

"It was a moment when the president and his wife were decompressing one last time before the start of the trip by joking around," the second source told reporters, including AFP's.

"It's a moment of togetherness. No more was needed to feed the mills of the conspiracy theorists," the source added, blaming pro-Russian accounts for negative comments about the incident.

The Macrons got married in 2007, but they met when the president was still in high school, and she was a teacher.

Vietnam is the first stop on an almost week-long tour of Southeast Asia for Macron, where he will pitch France as a reliable alternative to the United States and China amid economic uncertainty fueled by the two global giants' ongoing trade tariff war.

He will also visit Indonesia and Singapore.

Bangladesh Leader's Loud Diplomacy Frustrates India

Bangladesh Leader's Loud Diplomacy Frustrates India
Noble Laureate Prof. Dr. Muhammad Yunus

India is growing increasingly uneasy with what some are calling “megaphone diplomacy” by Bangladesh’s interim leader, Muhammad Yunus. His recent public comments, made through media interviews, have raised eyebrows in New Delhi and sparked concerns about the future of India-Bangladesh relations, which have been in a delicate state since former Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was ousted from power.

Yunus, who is leading Bangladesh's interim government, recently urged India to prevent Hasina from making any political statements while she remains in India. In an interview with the Press Trust of India (PTI), Yunus said that Hasina, once viewed as India’s close ally, should refrain from commenting on Bangladesh’s political situation while staying in Delhi. These remarks have not gone down well with Indian officials, who see Yunus’ approach of airing bilateral grievances through the media as counterproductive.

India’s foreign ministry has not officially commented on Yunus’ statements, but sources within the government suggest that officials are upset by his tactics. “India is closely observing the situation in Bangladesh, but it is not comfortable with these kinds of public comments,” an Indian official said on condition of anonymity. The official added that India prefers to address sensitive issues in private discussions, rather than through the press.

Former Indian diplomats have also criticized Yunus’ media outreach. Veena Sikri, India’s former high commissioner to Bangladesh, expressed surprise at what she called Yunus’ “megaphone diplomacy.” She emphasized that delicate matters between the two countries should be handled behind closed doors and questioned why Yunus described the bilateral relationship as being “at a low” without elaborating.

Yunus, however, defended his comments, arguing that he has the right to express his views when asked by the media. He has also reiterated the need for both nations to improve their relationship, which he claims has deteriorated in recent months. Bangladesh’s foreign ministry backed Yunus, dismissing the criticism as unwarranted. “Leaders from India also speak to the media on key issues,” said Touhid Hossain, an adviser to Bangladesh’s foreign ministry.

The tension between the two countries comes at a time of uncertainty in Bangladesh’s domestic politics. Since Hasina’s fall from power, calls have grown within Bangladesh for her return to face trial over allegations of government-led violence during her tenure. While Yunus has publicly pushed for Hasina to remain silent during her stay in India, the future of her presence in the country remains unresolved. Indian officials are reportedly open to allowing her to remain until another country agrees to host her, but the question of her eventual extradition to Bangladesh is still hanging in the balance.

Yunus’ public statements and India’s growing discomfort with his diplomatic style have added to the complexity of an already fragile situation. With no high-level ministerial meetings between the two countries since Hasina's ousting, some fear that relations between India and Bangladesh could worsen if private diplomacy is not restored soon.

The situation is further complicated by Bangladesh’s domestic tensions, including rising violence against religious minorities and a resurgence of Islamist extremism. India, which has long viewed Bangladesh as a key security partner in the region, is particularly alarmed by reports of increasing attacks on Hindus and vandalism of Sufi shrines in Bangladesh.

As Bangladesh moves forward under interim leadership, India’s response to Yunus’ media-driven diplomacy could shape the future of the two countries' relationship. Many in New Delhi are hoping for a return to the quieter, more behind-the-scenes negotiations that have historically characterized India-Bangladesh ties.

Celebrities and fashion icons alike strutted their finest luxury designer outfits, making a statement on one of the biggest stages in the world. The glitz and glamour of the red carpet created a contrast with the sinister heist that was happening behind the scenes.

7. The Rise of "Heist Fashion" as a Trend

Interestingly, the Fight Night Heist gave rise to what is now referred to as "heist fashion"—a trend where designers create looks inspired by crime thrillers, espionage, and robberies. Think dark, sleek, and mysterious attire that evokes the feeling of being in a high-stakes situation. Many designers embraced this concept, leading to collections that capture the allure of a sophisticated criminal or a modern-day vigilante.

8. The Role of Media in Shaping Perception of the Event

The media played a crucial role in shaping public perception of the Fight Night Heist. Fashion magazines, tabloids, and news outlets covered every angle of the event, from the robbery itself to the red carpet moments. The duality of the night—glamour and crime—fueled intrigue and cemented the event’s place in pop culture history.

9. Security and Fashion: A New Focus Post-Heist

Following the heist, there was a noticeable shift in how high-profile events handle security. Celebrities began hiring more personal security for their valuables, and event organizers increased protective measures. This focus on security extended to the fashion industry, with designers becoming more selective about loaning out expensive pieces for red carpet events.

10. The Lasting Legacy of the Fight Night Heist

The Fight Night Heist has left a lasting legacy in both the fashion and entertainment worlds. It’s more than just a moment of crime—it’s a reflection of the collision between luxury, fame, and vulnerability. The heist continues to inspire fashion designers, filmmakers, and artists, while also serving as a cautionary tale about the dangers of flaunting wealth in public settings.

The Fight Night Heist was an unforgettable event that left an indelible mark on both the fashion world and pop culture. From the extravagant red carpet looks to the daring robbery itself, this moment in history has influenced everything from media coverage to fashion trends. As we look back on the event, it’s clear that its impact will be felt for years to come, reminding us that in the world of celebrity and luxury, appearances can often be deceiving.

YouTuber Nikocado Avocado Stuns Audience with 250-Pound Weight Loss Announcement

YouTuber Nikocado Avocado Stuns Audience with 250-Pound Weight Loss Announcement

Nikocado Avocado has gained notoriety for his outrageous videos, where he consumes large quantities of food while dramatically crying and shouting.

In a recent video titled “Two Steps Ahead,” uploaded on Friday, the YouTube mukbang star disclosed that he had been secretly shedding hundreds of pounds, all while leading his audience to believe he was in a state of severe obesity.

With a following of 3.9 million subscribers and a total of 800 million views, Avocado, who refers to himself as the “King of Mukbangs,” has been on a discreet two-year weight loss journey, continuing to share previously recorded content with his fans.

In his latest video, the Ukrainian-born American stated that he previously weighed 359 pounds, but he has now lost an impressive 250 pounds.

"Two steps ahead, two steps ahead," a diminished Avocado began his unsettling midnight video, initially donning a Panda mask. "I am perpetually—two steps ahead. This has constituted the most significant social experiment of my life," Avocado continued, interlacing his fingers.

"It is captivating, it is intriguing, it is fascinating to witness these troubled, disoriented individuals navigate the internet in pursuit of narratives," Avocado remarked. "They transform themselves through these narratives, becoming products of influence."

"I feel as though I am observing ants in an ant farm, each one following the other," Avocado commented regarding his supporters and detractors, adding, "individuals consuming whatever they are instructed to consume."

Avocado subsequently removed the mask, unveiling his complete weight loss transformation, and proceeded to elaborate on his grand strategy.

"Today, I emerged from a prolonged dream and also from shedding 250 pounds from my body," Avocado stated. "Yet, just yesterday, individuals were labeling me as fat, sick, tedious, and irrelevant; humanity truly represents the most troubled beings on this planet."

Individuals are consuming whatever they are instructed to consume, which positions me as the antagonist I have chosen to be. Consequently, you will persist in absorbing these narratives about me, year after year, as long as I continue to portray myself as the villain on the internet. These tales infiltrate and persist, affecting the minds of the masses. They influence the masses. They manipulate the masses. You are the masses, he stated.

In a different video posted on another channel managed by Avocado, he remarked, "I have not produced a video in approximately two years." Although the last of his characteristic mukbangs was uploaded three months ago, it is important to note that all of his content had been recorded years prior.

Fortunately for his fans, Avocado soon returned to his previous habits, presenting an excessively large platter of black bean noodles to consume.

The comments section of the video revealed fans' astonishment.

"It seems we all failed the social experiment," remarked hullsome.

"Let’s be honest. This is what we wished for instead of confronting the possibility of his passing due to complications from his weight," another commenter noted.

Others speculated about the potential use of weight loss medications by Avocado.

"You can truly see the impact of Ozempic," concurred lunaticgalox.

"The ozempic has been remarkably effective," commented KyBillyb.
