The Arabic and international action picture “Seven Dogs” continues its phenomenal box office run, grossing more than $4,034,630 in its first two days. The movie was also a commercial success, selling 599,160 tickets across the Arab globe, confirming its status as the most-watched picture in the region and beating the film "Asad" in the number of tickets sold and revenue.

These stats are indicative of the giant success the film has received since its formal premiere in cinemas. It has already been a giant hit in several Arab countries, fueled by the amazing excitement that has built up in the lead-up to its release and the star-studded roster of actors, directors, and producers.

'Seven Dogs' Beats 'Lion' and Leads Box Office

“Seven Dogs” is one of the largest Arab film productions, mixing action, suspense, and a huge visual production. The plot follows Interpol officer Khaled Al-Azzazi as he goes on a secret mission with one of the most dangerous ex-criminals to uncover a global criminal network known as “Seven Dogs.” Their adventure takes them across many cities and capitals of the world.

The film is notable for its massive production scale, shooting important scenes in the “Big Time” studios in Riyadh and utilizing several locales, including Boulevard City. With a top-notch crew of cinematography, visual effects, and stunt professionals, it has a visual and dynamic quality on par with the largest international action pictures.

The film features the stars of Karim Abdel Aziz and Ahmed Ezz, along with a host of other Arab and international talents. Directed by the globally famous duo Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah, it stands as a cinematic experience that mirrors the growing ambition of the Arab film industry and its capacity to appeal to a broad audience both inside the area and beyond.

A sign of the production capabilities provided by the work, the film also entered into the Guinness Book of Records for making two world records in the area of cinematic effects, including the biggest cinematic explosion in the history of films, as well as the largest quantity of high-intensity explosives detonated in a single scene.

The actress was recently spotted in Madrid with businessman Poyraz Yosmaoğlu, adding fresh fuel to ongoing romance rumors that have surrounded the pair for weeks.

Turkish media reports that Saraçoğlu and Yosmaoğlu dined with a group of friends at a restaurant in Madrid. A fan reportedly recorded footage of the gathering, and the video quickly spread across social media, where it became a trending topic.

This sighting marked the first public photograph of the two together.

Rumors linking Afra Saraçoğlu and Poyraz Yosmaoğlu first surfaced earlier after claims they had vacationed together in Copenhagen, Denmark. At the time, neither Saraçoğlu nor Yosmaoğlu addressed the reports publicly, leaving fans guessing about the nature of their relationship.

Their latest appearance in Spain has brought the speculation back into the spotlight.

After their trip to Madrid, the pair returned to Istanbul. Turkish media reported that they landed on the same flight but appeared to avoid being photographed together at the airport.

According to reports, Saraçoğlu and Yosmaoğlu exited through different doors after getting off the plane.

Reporters approached Afra Saraçoğlu at the airport, but she chose not to answer questions about the relationship rumors.

Pointing to her earphones, the actress reportedly said, “I’m on the phone, thank you,” before quickly getting into a waiting vehicle and leaving the airport.

Her brief response — and decision not to comment directly on Poyraz Yosmaoğlu — drew attention online and sparked even more discussion among fans.

Saraçoğlu has largely kept her private life out of the public eye. Her silence on the latest reports has only added to the curiosity surrounding the rumored romance.

Neither Afra Saraçoğlu nor Poyraz Yosmaoğlu has publicly confirmed a relationship.

Still, after the Madrid sighting and their airport return to Istanbul, speculation around the pair continues to dominate entertainment headlines in Turkey.

The Oscar-winning actress posted a photo of Tom Hardy on Instagram on Thursday, with the phrase "Love you now and always Helen."

Mirren's post follows numerous stories of behind-the-scenes conflict on the Paramount+ show, in which Hardy plays a fixer for a London crime family led by Mirren's character.

Puck initially reported that Hardy had been dismissed from MobLand after the second season, which has yet to air on Paramount+. According to a production insider, Hardy "refused to come out of his trailer for hours at a time" in a statement to THR.

However, Variety reported on Thursday that Hardy "was not fired" and that "the door is not closed for season 3 and things are being worked out creatively," citing a production source.

According to a source, Hardy's claimed tardiness was "frustrating" for Mirren, but there is no hatred between the two actors. "I know she's said to him a couple of times, 'Come on, Tom, we've been here for ages, let's get started,' but she's never appeared to be anti-Tom," the person told the site.

Another person close to the production denied that the two artists acted unprofessionally due to political differences. "Helen is not that sort of person," the insider said to Variety. If she had an issue with Tom, she would have told him directly, 'Look, come on, let's just quit wasting everyone else's time and get on with it. But that's about as far as it got. She isn't the type of person who will become embroiled in a political crisis. She simply isn't. She won't pound her feet and say, 'Well, I'm out if he's in it. "It just isn't her."

Entertainment Weekly has contacted representatives from Hardy, Mirren, Paramount, and production company 101 Studios for comment on the rumors.

According to the Daily Mail, Mirren was irritated by Hardy's tardiness in December. Mirren later expressed her support for Hardy on Instagram. Things I love," she wrote before noting her affection for "Tom Hardy for his brilliance on screen" and "his dedication off screen" as well as "his kind heart" and "especially the HardyHugs I get when on set with him, which is not nearly enough in my opinion."

Mirren cheekily cited "bad journalism" as one of her pet peeves in the same post.

The White House, through several officials, declined to discuss the details of the understanding with the Iranian side, but the limited information circulating about the agreement suggests that the two sides reached an understanding to extend the ceasefire for an additional 60 days.

What are the main points of possible US-Iran agreement?

According to available information, Iran will be required, in parallel with the implementation of practical steps on the ground, to end all nuclear ambitions and projects, whether currently existing or those being planned for the future.

Among the key points included in the framework agreement is the reactivation of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz in a way that allows maritime traffic to return to normal, in exchange for Iran's commitment to immediately begin removing the mines it laid in the strait's waters within the 60-day period.

At a later stage, the two sides will begin bilateral negotiations addressing major points of contention, primarily the Iranian nuclear program.

The funeral procession will take place after Friday prayers at Nasser Mosque in Banha, Qalyubia Governorate, and she will be buried in Al-Shamout Cemetery.

Ahmed Helmy had spoken about his mother several times before her passing, through touching messages he shared on his official social media accounts, expressing his deep love and appreciation for her.

In one of his messages, he wrote: "Happy birthday, Mom. If I could turn back time, I would so I could relive your parenting journey all over again."

Scottsblove police explained that the incident occurred Saturday evening, May 23, at a convenience store, when a German Shepherd was inside its owner's parked car. The dog moved from side to side in the back seat, causing a shotgun loaded with live ammunition inside the vehicle to discharge.

The projectile struck a woman's car, which was stopped a few meters away at a traffic light.

A small fragment struck the woman's upper right arm, as her hand was outside her car window. The car door bore the brunt of the blast. She was transported to the hospital, and her injuries were not life-threatening, according to police. The investigation is ongoing, and it is worth noting that driving with a loaded firearm in a vehicle is a violation in Nebraska.

This is not the first time a dog has been involved in a shooting recently. Last November, a 53-year-old man in Pennsylvania was shot in the back with a rifle he had left on his bed while cleaning it. He required surgery but survived.

In March 2025, a man in Tennessee suffered a cut to his left thigh when his dog jumped onto the bed and its paw became caught in the trigger guard. And in 2023, a man in Kansas was killed by a rifle accidentally discharged by his dog during a hunting trip.

With the end of this support, the phone becomes less secure and more prone to problems, even if it continues to function normally.

Phone's expiration date: 

The end of support doesn't mean the phone suddenly stops working; rather, it signifies the end of software support. At this point, major Android updates cease, security updates are discontinued, and new apps begin to crash or perform poorly.

Consequently, the phone becomes more susceptible to security vulnerabilities and less reliable for everyday use.

The easiest way to find out the support lifespan is to check for security updates by opening Settings, going to About phone, selecting Android version or System information, and looking for the security update date.

If the date is recent, within the last few months, it means the phone is still officially supported. However, if it's several months or years old, it's likely nearing the end of its lifespan.

Romania's Foreign Ministry on Friday summoned the Russian ambassador after the drone incident near the Ukrainian border, calling it an "extremely serious incident".

"We will officially communicate the consequences that this lack of responsibility on the part of the Russian Federation will have for the diplomatic relations between our countries, as well as the next steps at the European level regarding sanctions packages," Foreign Minister Oana Toiu said in a statement on X.

The drone carrying explosives crashed in the eastern city of Galați, causing a fire on the roof of a residential apartment block, according to Euro News.

The building was evacuated, said Toiu, adding, "Two aircraft and a helicopter belonging to the Romanian Air Force were scrambled when Russian drones appeared on the radar, they had permission to shoot."

Known for standout performances in Çukur, Ulan İstanbul, and Yaratılan, Köstendil is taking on multiple roles in the project. He wrote the screenplay and will also star in the film.

What makes Çare Messi especially personal for him is its connection to football.

Before becoming one of Turkey’s most recognizable actors, Erkan Kolçak Köstendil was deeply involved in football. He played as a goalkeeper in his younger years and was part of Bursaspor’s youth setup. Turkish media reports say the film draws inspiration from that chapter of his life, bringing his love of football to the cinema in a fun and comedic way.

The film is being produced by Polat Yağcı, one of the busiest producers in Turkish cinema recently. Director Can Ulkay, known for projects including Ayla, will sit in the director’s chair.

Filming is expected to begin in June.

The cast is one of the biggest talking points around the project.

Ferit Kaya has officially joined the film after recently drawing attention with his performance in Uzak Şehir. Taner Ölmez is also on board, reuniting with Erkan Kolçak Köstendil after they formerly worked together in Netflix’s Yaratılan.

Veteran actor Cengiz Bozkurt has joined the cast as well, adding another familiar and beloved face to the lineup.

Nilsu Berfin Aktaş will play the female lead. She remains one of the most talked-about young actresses of her generation, and her casting has already sparked excitement online.

According to Turkish media, more surprise names are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

While plot details are still being kept under wraps, Çare Messi is described as a football-themed comedy with emotional and entertaining elements. The title itself has already caught attention among fans, especially because of its reference to football legend Lionel Messi.

The project combines comedy, football, and a powerful ensemble cast, making it one of the most anticipated upcoming Turkish films.

With cameras preparing to roll in June, Çare Messi is shaping up to be one of the standout Turkish movie releases to watch.

Several performers who were scheduled to perform at a giant celebration of America's 250th birthday on the National Mall next month have denied rumors that they will be attending.

Morris Day and the Time, Young MC, and the C+C Music Factory all made online announcements that they would not be performing at the "Great American State Fair" in Washington.

“I HAVE INFORMED MY AGENTS THAT I WILL NOT BE PERFORMING AT THE FREEDOM 250 EVENT,” Young MC wrote in a Facebook post. “The artists were never told about any political involvement with the event.”

“And despite the claims by the organizers that the event is nonpartisan, SPIN magazine describes it as 'Trump-backed.'” "I hope to perform in D.C. in the near future at an event that is not so politically charged,” he added.

Other artists also expressed similar feelings.

Vocalist Freedom Williams of C+C Music Factory said in a vulgar Instagram post that he also instructed his agency to remove him from the celebration, as he was unaware of its political connections.

“He didn’t mention Trump. I’m getting all these texts, ‘We’re going to cancel C+C Music Factory; the event is going to be a terrible show,’” Williams said in the video post.

“So I told my agent, yeah, no, I'm not good to do that. … I don’t f— with Trump. I don’t give a f— about Trump. I know the type of f—ing anarchy he creates. But the day I let you motherf—–s tell me what to do is the day I die,” he added.

The Time and Morris Day declined to play as well.

“Contrary to rumor, Morris Day & The Time will not be performing at the ‘GREAT AMERICAN STATE FAIR,’” the artist wrote in a Wednesday graphic posted to Facebook.

In the caption, the artist added, “It’s a no for me."

Rappers Flo Rida and Vanilla Ice, along with country music star Martina McBride, are still scheduled to perform.

Requests for comment regarding the other artists' choice to withdraw from the event were not immediately answered by Freedom 250, the organization organizing the fair.

The event is meant to "bring together people from all 56 states and territories to celebrate the traditions, innovation, music, military heritage, freedom, and entrepreneurial spirit that define our nation," according to Freedom 250 CEO Keith Krach's initial statement announcing the lineup.
