Liam Gallagher issues apology after backlash over racist tweet
The backlash was particularly strong among fans in South Korea, where Oasis is scheduled to perform as part of their worldwide reunion tour. With thousands expected to fill Goyang Stadium, the remark cast a shadow over what was meant to be a celebratory event. Many fans demanded accountability, with some threatening to boycott the show unless a formal apology was made.
Gallagher has now broken his silence, taking to X (formerly Twitter) again to say:
'Sorry if I offended anyone with my tweet before it wasn't intentional you know I love you all and I do not discriminate. peace and love LG x.'
Sorry if I offended anyone with my tweet before it wasn't intentional you know I love you all and I do not discriminate. peace and love LG x — Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) July 1, 2025
While the apology has received mixed reactions, some fans have welcomed the gesture, calling it a step in the right direction. Others argue the apology lacks sincerity, noting the vague wording and absence of direct acknowledgment of the harm caused.
As of now, no additional comments have been made by Gallagher's team. Whether the apology will be enough to smooth things over before the Seoul concert remains to be seen — but for many, the incident has already left a lasting impression.

‘Mortal Kombat 2' trailer drops this month, says producer
Fans of Mortal Kombat won't have to wait much longer to see what's next. The first trailer for Mortal Kombat 2 is set to drop this month, according to producer Todd Garner. In a recent post on X (formerly Twitter), Garner teased, 'There will be blood before the end of the month,' strongly hinting at an imminent trailer release. When pressed by a fan for clarity, he reaffirmed that the trailer would indeed arrive in July. This aligns with growing speculation that the trailer will premiere during San Diego Comic-Con, which runs from July 24–27 - a fitting venue for the franchise's bloody return to the big screen. The original Mortal Kombat film, released in 2021 simultaneously in theaters and on HBO Max due to the pandemic, earned a modest box office but found success with at-home audiences. Despite criticism, especially for not featuring the iconic tournament, it was enough to greenlight a sequel. Mortal Kombat 2 will introduce long-awaited fan favorites, including Johnny Cage, and is expected to deliver the tournament fans missed the first time around. It's also said to be the second film in a planned trilogy, with the third installment focusing on post-tournament events. After wrapping filming in early 2024, the production has been relatively quiet, but anticipation has remained high. With the success of other recent video game adaptations like The Last of Us and Fallout, expectations are even higher for Mortal Kombat 2 to deliver a faithful and action-packed sequel. The movie is set to hit theaters on October 24, 2025.

Stop Killing Games hits 1M signatures after PewDiePie and Asmongold support
The Stop Killing Games campaign has officially reached its goal of one million signatures, thanks in part to high-profile support from PewDiePie, Asmongold, Jacksepticeye, and even Elon Musk. The movement, launched by YouTuber Accursed Farms in April 2024, advocates for the preservation of online games after official support ends. The site says we have cleared 1 million signatures! I hate being like this, but there's a chance a significant number of them aren't real. That means we have to keep signing in overdrive mode to make up for them! I'll have a video on this later — Accursed Farms (@accursedfarms) July 3, 2025 The campaign is part of a European Citizens' Initiative pushing for legislation that would require developers to keep online games accessible even after sunset. The one million signature milestone, confirmed on July 3, 2025, brings the initiative closer to potentially influencing EU law. Accursed Farms celebrated the achievement in a tweet but warned that not all signatures may be valid, stating, 'There's a chance a significant number of them aren't real,' urging continued participation to meet the verified threshold. Massive traffic following endorsements briefly took down the campaign's website. PewDiePie, in a YouTube post, expressed '100% support' for the cause. Jacksepticeye called it 'an absolute win' in a video on his secondary channel, and Asmongold encouraged EU-based gamers to sign via Twitter. Elon Musk amplified the movement further by retweeting Asmongold's message to over 220 million followers. Big thanks to @Jacksepticeye for helping cover Stop Killing Games! Seeing all these people support the movement makes me feel less crazy! — Accursed Farms (@accursedfarms) July 1, 2025 10 months and over 800k signatures later, the Stop Killing Games initiative is almost across the finish line of 1 million. If you're from the EU and care about game preservation and consumer rights, consider signing this petitionhttps:// — Zack (@Asmongold) July 2, 2025 Elon Musk is on board with the Stop K*lling Games initiative Retweets Asmongold promoting the petition to his nearly 222 million followers — yeet (@Awk20000) July 3, 2025 The campaign's success comes after criticism from Pirate Software, who argued the initiative was vague and impractical. Following backlash and review bombing of his games, he stepped down from his position at Offbrand Games. The milestone marks a major victory for online game preservation advocates and signals growing momentum in the fight for digital gaming rights.

Megyn Kelly questions why Sydney Sweeney was at Bezos wedding
Megyn Kelly is facing backlash after suggesting that actress Sydney Sweeney was invited to Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's star-studded Venice wedding because of her physical appearance. In a segment aired on The Megyn Kelly Show and posted to the show's official X (formerly Twitter) account, Kelly remarked: 'Sydney Sweeney's the new toast of the town out there because she's got these enormous breasts that everybody's obsessed with… How does she wind up there?' 'At a wedding you're supposed to have people who've known you for a long time..'@WalterKirn on the tacky, PR-approved, celebrity-filled, Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sanchez wedding. Watch below, and subscribe: — The Megyn Kelly Show (@MegynKellyShow) June 30, 2025 Kelly went on to question why Sweeney, best known for roles in Euphoria and Anyone But You, was present at the exclusive celebration, implying that her inclusion on the guest list wasn't due to professional merit. Her comment quickly went viral and drew widespread criticism online for being objectifying and dismissive. However, a source cited by Page Six offered a different explanation: Sweeney's invitation was reportedly tied to her upcoming project with Amazon MGM Studios, the film division under Bezos's corporate umbrella. 'She isn't close with Jeff or Lauren personally,' the source clarified, framing the invite as a professional courtesy. Sweeney has not publicly addressed the remarks.
