Jessica Simpson Handled Her Wardrobe Malfunction on ‘The Today Show' Like a Champ
While most people might know Jessica Simpson from her successful shoe line or her infamously iconic 'Is this chicken, or is this fish?' question on her Y2K-era reality show with her ex-husband, Nick Lachey, let us remind you that she's somewhat of a pop culture icon thanks to her film and music career. This year, Jessica has been making her musical comeback with a slew of singles and a new EP, Nashville Canyon, Pt. 1, which means she's also made her way back to center stage. The multihyphenate made a rare appearance during the July 23 episode of The Today Show, where she performed fan-favorite tracks like 'With You' and 'I Think I'm in Love With You,' along with her latest single, 'Fade.' Of course, during one of her first TV gigs in nearly 15 years, Jessica faced an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction when her satin corseted gown slipped down to reveal a pink bra. The Dukes of Hazzard alum walked it off like a champ, though, as she seamlessly pulled her dress back in place mid-performance. After her performance, she even joked about the incident with the Today hosts, saying, 'Of course I had a malfunction here and everywhere, but it's okay. I think my boobs stayed in, so it's okay.' Her Today appearance comes after her American Idol season 23 finale performance, which marked her first TV performance after a nearly 15-year hiatus. She gushed about the 'insane' opportunity to return to her musical roots, and admitted that she was a little nervous to get back out there. 'Today it was like, 'Okay, get out of your head. Get out of your head. Who cares if your shoe falls off? Who cares if you forget a lyric?'' she explained. 'Honestly, it's just about being able to be up there and be vulnerable and that feels really beautiful.' She also sat down for an interview with Jenna Bush Hager, where she opened up about the emotions that making music brings out of her following her divorce from Eric Johnson. 'You can find blessings in the pain,' she explained. The 'Irresistible' hitmaker added, 'You can find beauty in the pain, and I think I want my daughters and my son to know that. No matter what we go through in life, nothing can take us long as we know who we are and we know our purpose. We're guided by that.'

Keke Palmer's ‘Just Keke' album channels public relationship drama into reclamation
NEW YORK (AP) — A sheer dress silhouetting a black body suit, Usher's signature crowd interaction and a tweet from her child's father: that concoction created a nearly two-week social media frenzy starring Keke Palmer back in 2023. Now, the multi-hyphenate creative has channeled that experience into her new album, 'Just Keke.' 'It was tough … I didn't even realize I was in such grief,' said the 31-year-old about the fallout of her extremely public breakup with her ex, Darius Jackson. 'I get to put that same emotion into a song, and I get tell those people that's been watching me since I was nine … what's going on in a way that it can translate.' Following 2023's 'Big Boss,' her third solo studio project, out now, is an 18-track visual album conceptualized and directed by Palmer and her team. Tayla Parx, who's written for Alicia Keys, Justin Bieber and Dua Lipa, handled the bulk of the writing and executive produced with Palmer. The storyline follows Palmer musically navigating celebrity, motherhood and self-reflection. But her vulnerability about her well-publicized relationship drama is the album's throughline. 'That's what artistry is … mine is about transmutation, it's about bringing closure,' said Palmer, who's usually mum about her romantic relationships. 'I have to address something that I would never address, especially nothing on an intimate level — that's just so not me. But I knew that I had to because now that it's become public, it's become a part of my work, and I have to respond to it as such. And that just caused me to have to grow.' While attending Usher's popular Las Vegas residency in 2023, the Emmy winner danced closely with the music icon during his routine audience interaction segment. Social videos of the interaction prompted a viral tweet from Jackson, her ex-boyfriend and child's father, criticizing her attire, writing, 'It's the outfit tho.. you a mom.' While he was quickly admonished online, the conversation eventually moved beyond social media to articles and think pieces tackling subjects ranging from patriarchy, women's attire, and having children before marriage. Standout tracks on 'Just Keke' include 'My Confession' — a tongue-in-cheek interpolation of Usher's hit 'Confessions, Pt. II' — as well as the previously released '125 Degrees' and 'Off Script.' She passionately belts out her love on the ballad 'Unless It's You,' while 'Misunderstood' finds her asking, 'Don't you see me throwing out a lifeline? / You too busy pinning me the bad guy / Maybe we ain't doing what we should / or maybe we're just misunderstood.' 'What the project, I think, speaks to as well is just like reclamation,' said the 'Nope' star, admitting the album could reignite criticism about her personal life. 'I'm just Keke, hate it or love it. This is me, this is my story, this is how I see things, I see my life … the whole point of it, too, is making peace with just saying what you got to say and letting it be that.' While Palmer's mic is still hot, she's extremely booked and busy on Hollywood lots: a sequel to 'One of Them Days,' and she stars with Eddie Murphy and Pete Davidson in 'The Pickup' from Prime Video in August. The 'Akeelah and the Bee' actor will lead Peacock's upcoming TV adaptation of Mel Brook's 'The 'Burbs,' and she'll join the team on 'Spaceballs 2' with original stars Bill Pullman and Rick Moranis, the latter a reclusive '80s and '90s star who's since largely stayed out of Hollywood. Palmer says she'll judge the success of 'Just Keke' not necessarily by sales or Billboard charts, but by potential opportunities that arise, whether it's creating and directing visual albums for other artists, helming her own musical and comedic variety show, or even embarking on her own world tour. 'It could look like so many things, and I'm open to all of them,' said Palmer. 'As long as I know that I put my all into this, I know I can't lose.' ___ Follow Associated Press entertainment journalist Gary Gerard Hamilton at @GaryGHamilton on all his social media platforms.

Hindi Journalism Day 2025: Date, history, significance — all you need to know
Hindi Journalism Day 2025: The media is the fourth pillar of democracy in India, serving as the channel to actively inform citizens about the nation's current affairs. Hindi, or vernacular, journalism has a special place in shaping the history of India, playing a significant role in enabling individuals to access widespread information in a language familiar to them across the nation. An annual national event, Hindi Journalism Day falls on Friday, May 30, 2025. Its history dates back to 1826, when Bengali, Persian, and English-language publications dominated the Indian media under British colonial control. On May 30, 1986, Pt. Jugal Kishor Shukla founded Udant Martand, India's first Hindi newspaper, acknowledging the importance of Indian languages in the media. Despite initial challenges like restricted distribution and financial constraints, Udant Martand made a big difference and continued to publish after 79 editions. Hindi Journalism Day commemorates the continuing tradition of Hindi and vernacular journalism in India, which has thrived in the country for nearly two centuries. It also honours the dedication of journalists who strive to deliver accurate information to the general and non-English-speaking public of India. The day is observed with a number of events, including seminars, discussions, and award ceremonies, all of which throw light on the issues that Hindi journalists face, as well as the area of Hindi journalism.

Image for representational purposes New Delhi: Indian Railways has witnessed major changes in the last 10 years under the Narendra Modi government. From 100 percent electrification of tracks to redevelopment of railway stations, the government has introduced a slew of schemes that have transformed the face of the sector. In the last decade, the government has introduced trains like Vande Bharat, which have made the traveling experience of passengers better and more convenient. The government is now planning to launch a high-speed bullet train between Bihar and Delhi. Capable of reaching speeds of 350 kmph, this advanced rail service is set to cut travel time by an impressive two-thirds, making the journey significantly faster and more convenient. Currently, travelling between these two major cities can take anywhere from 17 hours by train to nearly 9 hours with the faster Vande Bharat Express. Reports suggest that after planning the ongoing Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train initiative, the government is now planning a bullet train on the Delhi-Patna route. The route is likely to cover stations like Buxar, Patna itself, and Gaya. Additionally, the route for construction of elevated track in Bihar for the bullet train has been decided, and reports say that land acquisition for the same will start soon as a team of National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited is going to reach Patna in August. Delhi To Patna Vande Bharat The two cities currently have Vande Bharat operating between them, which reduces the journey to 9 hours. New Delhi-Patna Vande Bharat Special Express Train number 02252 New Delhi-Patna Vande Bharat Special Express will depart from New Delhi at 07:25 hrs.

According to the reports, the 767-kilometer-long bullet train corridor will connect Mumbai, Pune, and Hyderabad. It will include 11 stations, with the Navi Mumbai International Airport likely to be one of them.
