Pakistani model turned actress Saheefa Jabbar Khattak has deleted her Facebook account, hinting at a broader move away from social media.
Announcing the decision on Instagram, she wrote, 'Today, I successfully deleted my Facebook account. I truly hope that one day, I can erase all traces of my presence on social media—every naive, obnoxious, and poorly-thought-out interview, every photoshoot I liked, and every project that never had my part in it.'
Her statement suggests growing dissatisfaction with her digital footprint. While many celebrities use social media for engagement, Khattak appears to be reconsidering her past online activity.
The actress has not confirmed when she plans to leave other platforms, but her remarks indicate a desire to distance herself from public scrutiny.

Dua Lipa steals the show with surprise duet… and it's not who you think
Pop sensation Dua Lipa stunned fans at the Sunnyhill Festival in Kosovo last night, but it wasn't for her outfit or choreography. This time, the buzz came from an unexpected duet with her father, Dukagjin Lipa, who joined her onstage for an emotional performance that's left social media in a tailspin. The two were filmed singing together in a short clip that quickly spread across Reddit and X, with fans praising their touching chemistry and family bond. While Dua's talent has never been questioned, many were surprised by how comfortable, and vocally capable, her father appeared on stage. Dukagjin, a former rock musician and co-founder of the Sunnyhill Foundation, looked right at home next to his Grammy-winning daughter. The Sunnyhill Festival, now in its fourth year, was founded by the Lipa family as both a cultural celebration and a platform for Albanian artists. But with this father-daughter performance, it took on a much more intimate tone. Fans online were divided. Some gushed over the heartwarming family moment, while others questioned whether Dukagjin might be eyeing a comeback. 'Dua Lipa just soft-launched her dad's singing career and I'm not mad about it,' joked one Reddit user. Another quipped, 'Is he the new Zaddy of Kosovo?' There's no word yet if the duet will be officially released, but fans are already demanding a full-length collab. Whether it was a one-time sentimental gesture or a teaser for more, the Lipas have once again proven they know how to keep us watching and talking.

Reboot without warning? Nancy Meyers blindsided by ‘The Holiday' remake
In a twist as icy as a Christmas heartbreak, writer-director Nancy Meyers was completely blindsided by Apple TV+'s new limited series reboot of The Holiday. The romantic comedy, a fan-favourite since its 2006 release, is reportedly being reimagined as a series but the woman behind its charm and enduring legacy was left out of the loop entirely. 'News to me. Imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw,' Meyers commented on social media, complete with a telling side-eye emoji. Her reaction, which has since gone viral, ignited instant backlash across Reddit, Instagram, and X, where fans expressed disbelief that the original creator was not even consulted. Fans and industry watchers alike are calling out Apple TV+ for what many see as a blatant cash grab. 'No Nancy? So, the set design is going to be hideous at minimum,' one user wrote. Others noted how the absence of Meyers could strip the project of its distinct warmth and charm. Adding fuel to the fire, many are questioning the legality and ethics of such a move. Although studios typically own the rights, the optics of erasing a beloved filmmaker from her own legacy have not gone down well. 'She wrote it too!' one Redditor pointed out, while another joked, 'Nancy, get your lawyer girl.' There's no official word from Apple yet, but online sentiment is leaning harshly negative. Meyers, known for her meticulously styled interiors and feel-good scripts, has remained composed, but her subtle jab has left the internet fuming on her behalf. The original cast, Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Jack Black, and Kate Winslet, have not commented, but unless the creator's course-correct quickly, this reboot may be dead on arrival.

Jeannie Seely, Grammy-winning country music legend, dies at 85
Country music icon Jeannie Seely has died at the age of 85, her representative confirmed on August 1, 2025. The Grammy-winning singer passed away at Summit Medical Center in Hermitage, Tennessee, from complications of an intestinal infection. Seely had faced significant health challenges in 2025, including multiple back surgeries, emergency abdominal operations, pneumonia, and an extended ICU stay. Her death follows the loss of her husband, Gene Ward, who died of cancer in December 2024. Best known for her 1966 hit 'Don't Touch Me,' Seely enjoyed a decades-long career in country music. Her soulful voice earned her the nickname 'Miss Country Soul', and she became a Grammy Award winner and a key figure in Grand Ole Opry history, with a record 5,397 performances. Born in Titusville, Pennsylvania, in 1940, Seely moved to Nashville in 1965 and signed with Monument Records. She became an Opry member in 1967, later breaking barriers as the first woman to host an Opry segment in 1985. Seely also co-wrote songs like 'Anyone Who Knows What Love Is (Will Understand)' and recorded duets with Jack Greene. Despite a serious car accident in 1977 and a career lull in the '80s, she continued recording and performing well into her 80s. Seely is survived by extended family, friends, and her beloved cat, Corrie. The August 2 Grand Ole Opry show will be dedicated in her memory.
