  • Super Junior’s Leeteuk Directly Addresses Dating Allegations With 18 Years Younger Woman

    Super Junior’s Leeteuk Directly Addresses Dating Allegations With 18 Years Younger Woman

    Photos of him and a woman were shared online.

    Super Junior‘s Leeteuk recently spoke up about the recent dating allegations he was facing.

    Previously, it was reported that Leeteuk had been spotted on a “date” with a woman, pro golfer Jang So Hee. An account that shared the post claimed that the pair were in a relationship, and previously shared other “evidence” to support the claims.

    Shortly after this, Leeteuk went on a live stream, where he shared that he was aware of the situation and addressed the rumors.

    He started by saying he was shocked to see the photos, stating that he shared this with member Shindong. He explained that he and Shindong often go to events at the specific country club, and that there are often other celebrities present who form crews and end up hanging together often.

    I saw the photos and was speechless myself because Shindong was sitting beside me at that time, and on his other side his friend was there, too.

    Leeteuk then said that he was confused over the photo, which he stated was framed as though he went there alone to meet Jang, who is one of his many golfer friends. He explained that golf is rarely played with just two people, and usually involves a group of at least four and that the location of the photo was a rest area before finishing the last 9 holes.

    He also said he was planning on filing a complaint with the golf club, which is meant to be membership only.

    I don’t know who snapped the photos and then maliciously made it look like I went out with someone alone. […] I don’t know if a staff member took the photos or who did but the photos looked like we were alone, secluded, and I didn’t have a mask on, just kind of covering my face from the sun. Those modified photos were uploaded. Honestly, I’m very mad. I’m going to file a complaint against the golf club. I will show the photos to the CEO and the manager there and discuss the matter.

    — Leeteuk

    One of the pieces of evidence used was Jang wearing a cardigan owned by Leeteuk, which he also explained, saying that after the end of golf gatherings, he usually returns home to shower before rejoining the group. As a result, he may get asked to bring warmer clothing if someone gets cold, which is was happened in this case.

    If [the restaurant/location] is close to my place or someone else’s, because I usually don’t shower at the golf club, I would say ‘I’ll head home and shower first.’ Maybe the weather suddenly got chilly, [someone would ask] ‘Please bring a cardigan or something. The pro player is cold.’

    — Leeteuk

    Leeteuk then seems to say that he is aware of the person behind the rumors, after previously saying he has been dealing with this for months and that the person is always present when he goes live by himself or is with the members, is is confused about their motives.

    I saw what was said and I was like ‘How can someone put two and two together and make up stories?’ I’ve been thinking, I’ve been enduring this for months. […] It’s been nothing but stress. [That person] keeps switching usernames, whenever I go live or do activities with the whole group. That person is always there…and I know who they are. […]It’s been that one person. One.  […]

    I’ve thought several times — is this person really my fan? Or does this person want me to make a mistake? What do they want me to do by saying these things? They’re throwing threats here and there. Why? For what?

    He also shared that because of this, he and Jang have gotten closer due to him constantly apologizing.

    We got even closer because of [that]. Why? Because [she] gets cursed at every day and, of course, I can’t help but feel sorry. ‘Ah, that’s not the case, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.’

    — Leeteuk

    He finished speaking about the matter with the hopes of the person being stopped from doing this.

  • Sydney Sweeney Puts Divisive Twist on Sculptural LBD on the Red Carpet

    Sydney Sweeney Puts Divisive Twist on Sculptural LBD on the Red Carpet

    • Sydney Sweeney put a divisive, Millennial-loved twist on a sculptural black LBD as she stepped out on Saturday, September 6 at the Toronto International Film Festival.
    • The Christy star turned heads at the Road to the Golden Globes Party.
    • Just hours earlier, she put a NSFW twist on a plunging suit with a completely sheer, lingerie-inspired blazer.

    Sydney Sweeney interrupted her corseted style streak at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 6, instead making a case for an oft-maligned Y2K trend during her latest appearance. While attending the Road to the Golden Globes Party on Saturday night, the Euphoria actress gave a sculptural LBD a divisive update.

    Posing on the red carpet, Sweeney—who is promoting her upcoming Christy Martin biopic Christy—emphasized her curves with a bodycon black knee-length dress that was anything but boring. The sleeveless dress had a structural bodice with an unusual rounded neckline and a V-shaped detail at her waist, giving the LBD a flared peplum silhouette.

    Sweeney paired the nostalgic, Millennial-loved trend with black leather pointy-toed stilettos and major bombshell beauty. Wearing her golden blonde hair styled in voluminous curls, the American Eagle star complemented her bronzed skin with a matte mauve lipstick and tight-lined black eyeliner. Several diamond cocktail rings added subtle sparkle to her otherwise understated look.

    Sweeney has been on a bit of a lingerie-inspired style run, stepping out just hours earlier at a Variety Studio event wearing a NSFW gray tweed suit that took the office siren aesthetic to the next level. The Anyone But You actress showed off her jacket’s ultra-plunging neckline and completely sheer midsection, which got the boudoir treatment thanks to visible boning and sheer mesh material. Meanwhile, at Friday’s Christy premiere, Sweeney wowed in a blush pink corseted silk gown with a plunging sweetheart neckline, a structured bodice with boning running down past her hips, and an asymmetrical layered skirt embellished with a red sash that trailed behind her.

  • ‘I couldn’t do much more’ – Charles Leclerc rues ‘not easy day’ after taking P4 at Monza

    ‘I couldn’t do much more’ – Charles Leclerc rues ‘not easy day’ after taking P4 at Monza

    Charles Leclerc admitted that he “couldn’t do much more” en route to a P4 finish at the Italian Grand Prix, with the Ferrari driver initially battling Oscar Piastri at the start before ultimately crossing the line in fourth.

    As the race got underway at Monza, Leclerc made a strong launch off the line from fourth to scrap with Piastri, sparking cheers from the watching Tifosi as he moved up to third. However, the fans’ joy was short-lived as the McLaren then retook the position a few moments later.

    From then on Leclerc looked to be struggling to match the pace of the cars ahead and, while he looked quicker again as the race wore on, the Monegasque remained in P4 at the finish line.

    “It’s not been an easy day,” said Leclerc after the race. “In the first few laps I tried to fight with Piastri – unfortunately very quickly I overheated all my tyres, and I paid the price for the 10 laps after.

    “Then I recovered and then the pace came back to me, but it was very difficult to manage that and to try and gain a position, especially when you don’t have the same pace as the guys in front, so I couldn’t do much more.”

    Ferrari had started the weekend by claiming a 1-2 in Friday’s opening practice hour, while Leclerc remained in the top three throughout the other sessions before taking fourth in Saturday’s Qualifying.

    In terms of where the pace displayed during the weekend at Monza leaves the team as they head into the next races on the calendar, Leclerc conceded: “I don’t think there was much more we could have done today and this weekend overall I think.

    “Yesterday we did a good job with my lap in Q3. I think in the race we did our maximum that we could today, but the Red Bull and the McLaren were just too strong.”

  • Universal Head Donna Langley Regrets Sending ‘Fast & Furious’ to Space

    Universal Head Donna Langley Regrets Sending ‘Fast & Furious’ to Space

    Even Donna Langley admits that the “Fast and Furious” crew never should have ventured into zero gravity.

    “I’m sorry that we sent them into space,” Langley said of the decision to include a widely panned scene involving a rocket car and the International Space Station in 2021’s “F9.”

    “We can never get that genie back,” she added.

    Langley offered her mea culpa at the Toronto Film Festival as part of a discussion with Cameron Bailey, the festival’s director. However, Langley, who has plays a key role in guiding the franchise as NBCUniversal Studio Group and Chief Content Officer, said part of the success of the long-running series has been its adaptability. She noted that between 2006’s “The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift” and 2009’s “Fast & Furious,” the films decided to shake up their creative direction and make them less about racing culture.

    “We knew that we had to figure out how to grow it,” Langley said. “We made a conscious decision to pivot to a sort of a globe-trotting heist scenario.”

    Langley credited Vin Diesel with having a deep understanding of the core “Fast and Furious” audience, which came from his embrace of social media.

    “Vin was an early adopter of talking to his fans directly,” Langley says. “As we saw that growing, and we saw where the conversation was going. We’ve always been very fan first on the ‘Fast’ franchise.”

    In some cases, that’s led the “Fast & Furious” team to rethink major character deaths, including the fate of Michelle Rodriguez’s Letty Ortiz.

    “[People would] sort of throw out little things about, ‘Oh God, don’t kill Letty,’” Langley said. “OK, we’ll bring her back. ‘She never died. Don’t worry. Nothing to see here.’ But that’s all led by fan engagement.”

    The “Fast & Furious” series has been praised for its inclusive approach to casting. That’s something that Langley says came naturally.

    “It’s organically inclusive… it was never a conversation,” Langley said. “It has its roots in downtown L.A. and in car culture, which is a domain largely of people of color, of the Hispanic community. It honors and celebrates it in a really beautiful way.”

    Heaviest defeat in ODI history! England break India’s record as South Africa crumble for 72 | Cricket News

    NEW DELHI: South Africa endured a nightmarish outing in Southampton on Sunday, slumping to the heaviest defeat in ODI history as England romped to a record 342-run victory. The tourists were bundled out for a paltry 72 in just 20.5 overs while chasing a daunting 415, a collapse that underlined the sheer dominance of Jofra Archer and the destructive brilliance of Jacob Bethell.Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW!The margin of defeat eclipsed the previous record of 317 runs set by India against Sri Lanka in 2023, making it the biggest win in ODI history when batting first. For South Africa, it was an embarrassment narrowly shy of their lowest ODI total of 69 against Australia back in 1993.England’s commanding position was built on their fifth-highest ODI score, 414/5. Bethell, the 21-year-old left-hander fast-tracked into all formats, played a sparkling knock of 110 off 82 balls — his maiden ODI century — decorated with 13 fours and three sixes. Joe Root added a fluent 100, while Jos Buttler (62 not out) and opener Jamie Smith (62) piled on the misery for South Africa’s bowlers.

    Biggest victory margins in ODIs

    • 342 runs – ENG vs SA, Southampton, 2025
    • 317 runs – IND vs SL, Thiruvananthapuram, 2023
    • 309 runs – AUS vs NED, Delhi, 2023
    • 304 runs – ZIM vs USA, Harare, 2023
    • 302 runs – IND vs SL, Mumbai WS, 2023

    But it was Archer who stole the show with the ball. Charging in at over 90 mph, the fast bowler ripped through the top order with figures of 4-18 in nine overs. He removed four of South Africa’s top five, including skipper Aiden Markram in the opening over and the in-form Matthew Breetzke, to leave the Proteas reeling at 18/5. Brydon Carse and Adil Rashid combined to wipe out the tail, with Rashid collecting three wickets.Only Corbin Bosch provided token resistance with 20, while Temba Bavuma’s absence through injury meant the visitors were effectively a batsman short.The result was a welcome boost for England, who had already lost the three-match series after defeats at Headingley and Lord’s. More importantly, it marked a return to form for Archer, whose fitness remains central to England’s hopes in the upcoming Ashes series.For South Africa, the humiliation will sting deeply. Their shot at redemption comes quickly, with a T20I series against England beginning on Wednesday, but this crushing defeat will linger as one of the darkest days in their ODI history.

    See Photos From Variety and Chanel’s Female Filmmakers Dinner at TIFF

    Variety and Chanel rolled out the red carpet on Saturday night for their annual Women in Film Dinner during the Toronto Film Festival. Shailene Woodley, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Ethan Hawke, Jessie Buckley, Zachary Quinto and Edgar Ramirez were among the VIP attendees to converge at Soho House for the posh event hosted by Variety co-editor-in-chief Ramin Setoodeh.

    Guests in town with TIFF film, including Bob Odenkirk (“Normal”), James McAvoy (“California Schemin’”) and Ben Foster (“Christy”) nibbled on salmon crudo, shogun maitake and branzino as they toasted this year’s recipients of Chanel’s Women Writers’ Network. The year-round program was created to kickstart the careers of women and non-binary alumni of the TIFF Writers’ Studio.

    Setoodeh, along with TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey and Chanel Canada CEO Gregoire Collignon, addressed the revelers with speeches that underscored the strides being made by women behind the camera.

    “We understand the importance of representation. Everyone who goes to the movies wants to see themselves reflected on the big screen,” Setoodeh said. “So this is really critical work by Chanel. In the six years that we’ve done this event, we have seen first-time screenwriters meet some of the industry’s biggest actors and directors. We’ve seen producers get to know upcoming talent, and we’ve seen connections at this dinner fuel year-round collaborations.”

    For Bailey, whose festival is celebrating its 50th anniversary, men must play a role in inclusion efforts in order for them to succeed.

    Added Bailey: “Yes, you’re three dudes up here talking about supporting women. But if men don’t support women in film, change does not happen. So we are here because we are committed to the goals of this program. … We are in a celebratory mood. There’s a lot to celebrate over the last five decades of what we do. And part of it is the change that we have made. The evolution we have made in terms of representation. … We are committed to ensure that women and non-binary creators are empowered to lead the future of cinema.”

    Woodley, Mbatha-Raw and Buckley are all Chanel brand ambassadors, as were others in attendance like “Couture” director Alice Winocour and stars Anyier Anei and Ella Rumpf, as well as “Franz” actress Katharina Stark and London Rapper Little Simz.

    Odenkirk — who was accompanied by his wife, manager Naomi Odenkirk — talked about how he plans to show his “Fargo”-esque dark comedy “Normal” to the law enforcement community. The film, which sees Odenkirk playing a small-town sheriff, will spark conversations about inclusivity. “I know a lot of cops, and I want them to see this movie. It’s important for them to see this type of representation onscreen.”

  • Indie developers concerned Hollow Knight Silksong’s low price would affect wider indie game pricing

    Indie developers concerned Hollow Knight Silksong’s low price would affect wider indie game pricing

    Hollow Knight: Silksong has launched at $20, a price welcomed by players but questioned by several independent developers, who fear it may set unrealistic expectations for other games.

    RJ Lake, director of Unbeatable, commented on Bluesky that the game could easily have been priced higher. “Silksong should cost $40, and I’m not even joking,” Lake wrote.

    He explained that Team Cherry’s unique circumstances, including developing without direct pay for long periods, allowed them to release the game at a lower price.

    “They can price however low they want. Their return on investment is infinite no matter what they do. But by charging such a low amount, they are causing signals to fire off saying ‘this kind of game is worth twenty dollars.’”

    Other developers echoed these concerns. Basti Games, creator of Lone Fungus: Melody of Spores, asked players if its upcoming game should match Silksong’s $20 price despite being shorter. Most fans encouraged sticking to the planned price, with one user writing, “Don’t hold yourself to standards of giants.”

    In a Eurogamer interview, Toukana Interactive co-founder Zwi Zausch noted that Silksong’s price could influence decisions around the studio’s next project, Star Birds.

    “We’re trying not to compete too directly with Silksong, both in terms of release date and pricing,” Zausch said, citing the challenges of a larger development team requiring sustainable revenue.

    The debate highlights the ongoing challenge indie studios face in balancing fair wages with consumer expectations, especially as AAA titles rise to $70 or more.

    Mike Rose, founder of No More Robots, noted that shifting spending habits add to the pressure: “People have less money now and are buying fewer games, so you have to set yourself up to hopefully be that one game they buy.”

    Bigg Boss 19: Shehnaaz Gill reveals brother Shehbaz Badesha was hospitalised due to dengue after premiere episode; he enters as a wildcard contestant |

    The latest Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19 was filled with excitement and emotions as Shehnaaz Gill graced the stage to support her brother, Shehbaz Badesha, who entered the house as a wild card contestant. The sibling duo brought their trademark charm, laughter, and fun energy while interacting with host Salman Khan, leaving the audience entertained.Cheering for her brother, Shehnaaz told Salman with a smile, “Sir, give him some work. It’s been his dream to be in the show since 7 years. Please fulfill his wish.” She then revealed a worrying detail, sharing, “He was hospitalised due to dengue after the premiere.” Shehnaaz requested Salman to take Shehbaz’s audition, after which he sang and danced to impress the host, setting a light-hearted tone before stepping into the house.As Shehbaz prepared to go inside, Salman asked Shehnaaz if she had given him any advice for the game. Shehnaaz replied thoughtfully, “Be real on the show — show your good and bad sides, but don’t fake anything.” Salman humorously added, “I’m sure he can’t be fake.”Once inside, Shehbaz began sharing his first impressions of the other contestants but cleverly avoided criticizing Basser Ali, saying, “You are the captain, I will be in the good books.” His witty remark earned laughs from everyone.Later, Tanya Mittal shared a sweet moment with Shehbaz, telling him, “My brother, he is very young. He was voting for you when Mridul and your name were there as contestants. He informed our factory, and all the workers also voted for you. He is a big fan. He introduced me about you saying, ‘Kya sahi dil ka banda hai.’”When asked about his profession by fellow housemates, Shehbaz jokingly said, “Main vella hu.” On further probing, he added with a grin, “Main thoda gaane gaa leta hu, thoda acting, ye sab.”With his humorous personality and Shehnaaz’s heartfelt support, Shehbaz’s entry promises to add more entertainment and warmth to the Bigg Boss 19 house.
