Olivia Rodrigo, John Cena and other celebrities make their way to Wimbledon's Royal Box
LONDON (AP) — Olivia Rodrigo. John Cena. Dave Grohl. Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas. There was as much star power — or maybe even more? — in the Royal Box at Wimbledon as there was down below on the Centre Court grass on Wednesday. And that was on an afternoon that featured two-time defending men's champion Carlos Alcaraz and No. 1-ranked woman Aryna Sabalenka both winning matches at the grass-court Grand Slam tournament's main stadium to reach the third round. The seats in the Royal Box behind one of the baselines are by invitation only, and there was quite a list of celebrities on hand for Day 3 of competition. 'I was trying not to look today,' Sabalenka said about the collection of boldfaced names, explaining that she might be distracted while competing. 'I was just trying to focus on my game. Later on, I'm going to open the social media (and ask), 'OK, who was there?'' Well, Aryna, here's a rundown: Rodrigo, fresh off headlining at music festival Glastonbury while on tour for her GUTS album, sat next to Cena, the professional wrestler and movie star. Rodrigo chatted at one point with former England soccer coach Roy Hodgson (the current person in that job, Thomas Tuchel, also was in attendance). Grohl, a member of the rock bands Foo Fighters and Nirvana, made an appearance, too, as did the married couple Chopra and Jonas. Hollywood's Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann, who also are married, were on the Royal Box list, along with actor Dominic Cooper. Others taking in a day of tennis at the most famous court in the world included British athletes from other sports, such as Olympic gold medalists Sophie Bray (field hockey) and Tom Daley (diving), and Paralympic gold medalist William Ellard (swimming). ___

Karan Johar says will have to move to London with friends if their WhatsApp group chats come out: ‘We may not be able to continue living in our city'
On his controversial chat show Koffee with Karan, host Karan Johar has often referred to his fiercely guarded WhatsApp groups with fellow Bollywood celebrities. One of them being 'GUTS,' where the filmmaker breaks down airport looks and red carpet appearances of his industry colleagues with friends Kareena Kapoor, Karisma Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, and Rhea Kapoor among others. During a recent event in London, when an audience member asked Johar to publish a book on those WhatsApp chats, Johar responded cheekily. 'If anyone ever got access to those WhatsApp groups about me and many of my friends in the fraternity, I think we would have to move to London. We may not be able to continue living in our city,' he said. In the interview with Mojo Story, Johar explained further, 'Because let me tell you, they are very candid, honest, and sometimes very b*tchy analysis of our immediate environment and what is going on. We are fashion critics, we are movie critics. We are critics of everything in that group. Everyone has an opinion, and none of us can ever put those opinions out there.' In the same chat, Johar revealed he's part of not only these gossip groups on WhatsApp, but also some serious ones as the single parent of his kids Yash and Roohi. 'It can be very daunting, and also hilarious when you're on two WhatsApp groups with 30 mothers on one and 32 mothers on another. They're in two divisions: A and B,' Johar explained. 'Every morning, I wake up to these 62 amazing women saying 'Ladies!' And I say, 'Hello? I'm also on this WhatsApp group!' But they're so nurturing and helpful. They've really helped me through some tough times because I really don't know. Whenever I go to a parent-teacher meeting, I'm always doing two roles (as a father and a mother) and hearing for both of them. That's the joy of having twins,' he added. Johar became a father to Yash and Roohi in 2017 via surrogacy. Also Read — Karan Johar recalls how troll saying 'you've denied your kids a mother' made him cry: 'I asked my five-year-olds if they're happy' Johar is a published author as Penguin Random House released his memoir An Unsuitable Boy in 2016. It was co-authored by Johar and journalist Poonam Saxena. On the work front, Johar will next direct his first series for Netflix India. His last directorial was the 2023 hit family comedy Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, starring Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in lead roles.
