" He continued, "Jokers dish it out, cry foul when it's time to take it/City full of real ones, wasn't raised to fake it," as quoted by People magazine. The lyrics appear to reference the incident at the 94th Academy Awards , where Smith walked on stage and slapped Rock after the comedian made a joke about Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith 's, shaved head. Rock had said, "Jada, I love ya. GI Jane 2, can't wait to see ya," referencing the 1997 film GI Jane, in which Demi Moore's character shaves her head. Pinkett Smith has been open about her struggles with alopecia. Following the slap, Smith issued a public apology to Rock, stating, "Violence in all of its forms is poisonous and destructive. My behaviour at last night's Academy Awards was unacceptable and inexcusable." Smith resigned from the Academy and was banned from attending their ceremonies for 10 years.

DiCaprio's disguised look at Bezos wedding sparks hypocrisy debate | Credit: X | @dieworkwear and @popcrave Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez got wed in a grand ceremony held in Venice, Italy. The lavish celebration drew several high-profile guests, including Leonardo DiCaprio, the Academy Award winner, who was spotted wearing a hat covering his face at the wedding. The pictures of Leonardo have now gone viral and have sparked discussion. The 50-year-old actor was captured at the Bezos and Sánchez's wedding in Venice, Italy, along with his 27-year-old Italian supermodel girlfriend Vittoria Ceretti, who was not in disguise. In the now viral pictures, Leo was seen in a black tie attire and sported a black Los Angeles Dodgers baseball cap. Leonardo DiCaprio's outfit at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's wedding goes viral Leonardo is generally known for trying to keep a low profile, and once again, he was spotted in Venice for the wedding dressed head-to-toe in black, wearing a hoodie, baseball cap, and a mask that hid most of his face. DiCaprio, almost covering his eyes and face, unfortunately, did not sit well with the eagle-eyed fans and paparazzi. Leonardo DiCaprio was spotted arriving at Venice airport ahead of Jeff Bezos' wedding (June 26, 2025). 📸 More photos: — Leonardo DiCaprio Fan (@dicapriofans) June 27, 2025 Fans wonder why Leonardo DiCaprio appeared incognito at the Bezos-Sánchez wedding As soon as the pictures of the Titanic actor surfaced on social media, they quickly grabbed the attention of fans. Some users didn't hold back, poking fun at Leo's failed attempt to go unnoticed, with many questioning his need for such a dramatic disguise. Credit: X | @dieworkwear Several wondered if he was embarrassed to be spotted attending the wedding of such controversial figures at the ceremony, especially considering his track record as an environmental activist. Netizens questioned Leonardo's attire and called him hypocrite Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez are facing backlash online as netizens slam their Venice wedding for its large environmental footprint, with nearly 90 private jets reportedly used to fly in guests. Apart from wondering about his attire, netizens even labelled him a hypocrite for his over-the-top attempt to stay hidden. One user on Reddit said, "Did Mr Environment get there in his private jet? No wonder he's trying to hide." Comment byu/ControlCAD from discussion inpopculture While one called him a hypocrite and said, "He's literally the biggest hypocrite. " If you're too embarrassed to go then don't go. And if you do go, own it. This is just cowardly." Comment byu/ControlCAD from discussion inpopculture Another questioned about his role as an environmentalist, "I bet DiCaprio doesn't give a fuck about the environment or climate. It's probably just some PR shtick to boost his image and get him cooperation with greenwashing brands." Comment byu/ControlCAD from discussion inpopculture "Regardless, he's been a hypocrite for years. Lecturing us on climate change when he wins awards yet flies private and has the carbon footprint many times that of the average human," another added. Comment byu/ControlCAD from discussion inpopculture "He actually does a lot for the environment, but he himself is not perfect. No one is. Also, his activism is not directed at you. He doesn't expect you to change your lifestyle; that's actually something he says in one of his documentaries (and gets rebuked for it). His activism is at the corporate level and he invests in renewables to try to get them up to snuff so people don't have to change their lifestyles." Comment byu/ControlCAD from discussion inpopculture One said, "Its the hypocrisy that really bothers people, flying in on a private jet for a three day event after years of preaching about climate change and global warming. Greta has it right, get your ass there if you have to, but practice what you preach." Leonardo DiCaprio's activism According to VegNews, the Oscar-winning actor's résumé is enough to show that DiCaprio is a powerhouse in the film industry. But his dedication to environmental activism arguably surpasses even his Hollywood success. From producing impactful documentaries beloved by the vegan community to investing in plant-based companies and partnering with the United Nations to raise global awareness about climate issues. DiCaprio has consistently used his wealth and influence to advocate for the planet. To stay updated on the stories that are going viral, follow Indiatimes Trending.

From 1982 to 2019, four films released where heroine outshone hero, one became a blockbuster, another went to Oscars, film is…
Bollywood has often romanticised love and heroism, but every once in a while, it has delivered stories that challenge deep-rooted societal norms. Between 1982 and 2019, four Hindi films dared to portray the emotional landscape, discrimination, and inner strength of widowed women—some won critical acclaim, others broke box office records, and one even earned an Oscar nomination. What does Indian cinema reveal about the life of widows? These films not only address the emotional trauma of widowhood but also highlight the resilience, defiance, and personal growth of women forced to confront patriarchal systems. Their stories bring focus to the often-silenced voices in Indian society—those of single women and single mothers navigating life post-loss. The Last Color (2019) Directed by chef-turned-filmmaker Vikas Khanna, The Last Color tells a tender tale of friendship between a 70-year-old widow (played by Neena Gupta) and a 9-year-old flower seller. Set against the backdrop of Varanasi, the film's final Holi sequence, where widows celebrate the festival of colours—traditionally forbidden to them—is deeply symbolic and visually moving. If you missed watching it, grab a tub of popcorn and enjoy it on Prime Video. Dor (2006) Directed by Nagesh Kukunoor, Dor interweaves the lives of two women from different backgrounds—played by Ayesha Takia and Gul Panag. Ayesha's character, a Rajasthani widow, and Gul's character, whose husband is in prison, form a life-altering connection. Their journey explores forgiveness, freedom, and female solidarity in the face of cultural rigidity. If you missed watching it, grab a tub of popcorn and enjoy it on Sony Liv. Water (2005) Written by Anurag Kashyap and directed by Deepa Mehta, Water is set in 1938 and explores the lives of widows living in a secluded ashram. Starring Lisa Ray and John Abraham, the film exposes the harsh, patriarchal rules imposed on women—especially young widows—and the taboos surrounding widowhood. It received an Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, bringing global attention to an Indian social issue. If you missed watching it, grab a tub of popcorn and enjoy it on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, and Apple TV. Prem Rog (1982) This Raj Kapoor directorial, starring Rishi Kapoor and Padmini Kolhapure, is a love story steeped in social commentary. While it featured melodious songs and was a commercial hit, Prem Rog also tackled the taboo subject of widow remarriage at a time when such ideas were almost unspoken. It sensitively addressed the widow's right to love again, making it one of the most forward-thinking films of its time. If you missed watching it, grab a tub of popcorn and enjoy it on Prime Video and Zee5.
