On Tuesday, tsunami advisory for the West Coast, spanning California, Oregon, parts of Washington, Alaska and Hawaii, was issued. The tsunami advisory was sparked by a 8.7 magnitude earthquake on Russia's Pacific coast, in the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia. Let's take a look at some of the homes owned by celebrities which are under threat. Oprah Winfrey Oprah owns several properties on the island of Maui, Hawaii, spanning nearly 1,000 acres, reported. She first purchased two parcels in the Kula region in 2002 and 2003, totalling 163 acres. She later developed them into a modern farmhouse retreat. At the moment, she is also facing backlash for apparently refusing to open a private Maui road during Hawaii tsunami evacuation. Gwyneth Paltrow Gwyneth Paltrow shares a modern Spanish-style house with a courtyard in Montecito with her husband, writer-producer Brad Falchuk. The home sits on a 2.4-acre lot in a popular oceanside community in Santa Barbara, California. Katy Perry Singer Katy Perry also owns an expansive Mediterranean-style mansion in Montecito area. She has rented out the luxurious $30 million estate, which she secured after a bitter legal battle with a disabled veteran, to actor Chris Pratt and his family. Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis Hollywood couple Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher have a beach house in Santa Barbara County. The celebrity couple recently listed their Santa Barbara County beach house with its views of the ocean and the Santa Ynez mountains on Airbnb. The white clapboard cottage comes with a deck which offers a clear, expansive view of the Pacific. Paris Hilton Paris Hilton's Malibu beach house was destroyed in the Palisades Fire earlier this year, which left her family heartbroken. Now, the house is under tsunami threat as well.

Jacob Elordi cast as Frankenstein's monster in Guillermo del Toro's reimagining: ‘Have a supernaturally good connection'
Guillermo del Toro's long-awaited Frankenstein is finally taking shape, but not without a dramatic twist behind the scenes. The Oscar-winning director, known for turning monsters into mythic poetry, has recast the film's iconic creature — and the result may be even better than what he first imagined. Jacob Elordi cast as Frankenstein's monster in Guillermo del Toro's reimagining In an interview with Vanity Fair, del Toro revealed that he had just nine weeks to completely reimagine the look and essence of Frankenstein's monster after original star Andrew Garfield exited the film due to scheduling conflicts following the 2023 Hollywood strikes. Garfield's departure was no small setback since the director and his trusted makeup artist Mike Hill had already spent nine months carefully crafting Garfield's version of the creature. 'I mean, it was like Jacob is the most perfect actor for the creature,' del Toro said of Jacob Elordi, who stepped into the role last-minute. 'And we have a supernaturally good connection. It's like, very few words. Very few things I have to say, and he does it.' Towering at 6'5', Elordi brings an entirely new physicality to the role, a stark contrast to Garfield's 5'10' frame. His height, gangly elegance, and sombre intensity helped reframe the creature not just as a monster, but as something tragically human. 'What attracted me to him was his gangliness and his wrists. It was this looseness,' said Hill. 'Then he has these real sombre moments where he watches you really deftly, and his eyelids are low, with the long lashes like Karloff. I was like, 'I don't know who else you could get with a physicality like this.'' Del Toro echoed that sentiment, likening the moment to director Richard Donner's legendary casting of Christopher Reeve in Superman. 'He said, 'I eventually had to pray to God to bring me Superman with Christopher Reeve,'' Hill recalled. 'When Guillermo suggested Jacob, his own prayers were answered.' Although the last-minute change forced the team to rebuild their monster in just nine weeks, the pressure seems to have led to unexpected magic. 'We recast, and we had nine weeks,' del Toro said. 'You can't be under more pressure than that.' Elordi's monster is expected to be both tender and terrifying. 'His demeanour is innocent,' Hill noted, 'but it's encompassed in a six-foot-five frame. He could really do a lot of damage if this man really wanted to be a bad guy.' Also starring Oscar Isaac, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, and Charles Dance, Frankenstein promises to be a haunting and deeply human take on Mary Shelley's 1818 novel. As del Toro continues shaping his most ambitious gothic vision yet, it's clear he's found not just a creature — but a muse — in Elordi.

Kiran Desai back in the longlist for ‘The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny'
Booker Prize-winning author Kiran Desai on Tuesday (July 29, 2025) returned to the coveted literary award longlist with The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny, a novel described by the judges as a 'vast and immersive' tale about a pair of young Indians in America. The 53-year-old Delhi-born author, who won the Booker Prize 19 years ago in 2006 with The Inheritance of Loss, joins 12 writers from around the world for the so-called 'Booker Dozen' of 13 books that will be whittled down to six shortlisted titles by September. Desai's latest novel stands out as the longest on the longlist, weighing in at 667 pages and published by Hamish Hamilton. The shortest is Universality by Natasha Brown at 156 pages. 'She has spent almost 20 years writing The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny. Should she win this year, she would become the fifth double winner in the prize's 56-year history,' Booker Prize Foundation said in a statement. 'Desai has a family history with the prize: her mother Anita Desai was shortlisted for the Booker three times,' it noted. According to the Booker Prize website, the novel follows the lives of Sonia and Sunny, two young people navigating the many forces that shape their lives: country, class, race, history, and the complicated bonds that link one generation to the next. The 2025 prize longlist was chosen from 153 submissions, celebrating the best works of long-form fiction by writers of any nationality writing in English and published in the UK and/or Ireland between October 2024 and 30 September 2025. 'The 13 longlisted novels bring the reader to Hungary, Albania, the north of England, Malaysia, Ukraine, Korea, London, New York, Trinidad and Greece, India and the West Country,' said Roddy Doyle, Booker Prize 2025 Chair of Judges. 'There are short novels and some very long ones. There are novels that experiment with form and others that do so less obviously. Some of them examine the past and others poke at our shaky present. They are all alive with great characters and narrative surprises. All, somehow, examine identity, individual or national, and all, I think, are gripping and excellent,' he said. Other works in the race to be shortlisted include Trinidadian author Claire Adam's Love Forms, Malaysian Tash Aw's The South, Canadian-Ukrainian Maria Reva's Ending, Hungarian-British David Szalay's Flesh and Albanian-American Ledia Xhoga's Misinterpretation. Four British authors in the running are: Natasha Brown with Universality, Jonathan Buckley with One Boat, Andrew Miller with The Land in Winter and Benjamin Wood with Seascraper. And, the three American authors completing the longlist include Susan Choi with Flashlight, Katie Kitamura with Audition and Ben Markovits with The Rest of Our Lives. 'The stories are set all over the world, and as we looked through the books we began to notice that their authors, all of them writing in English, had come from many different places too… It's the highest number of different nationalities we've seen on a Booker Prize longlist for a decade – yet British writers are strongly represented too,' said Gaby Wood, Chief Executive of the Booker Prize Foundation. 'Oh wow! Kiran Desai's The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny is longlisted for the 2025 Booker Prize 19 years after The Inheritance of Loss won. What a staggering return! (Out in September!)' Manasi Subramaniam, editor-in-chief and vice-president at Penguin Random House India, which overlooks the Hamish Hamilton imprint, wrote on social media. Oh wow!
