Blake Lively has shared her work experience with intimacy coordinators in her new movie, It Ends With Us.

Speaking with Digital Spy, the 36-year-old actress discussed how important it is to have intimacy coordinators on set when filming sensitive scenes.

“I think it’s critical to have an intimacy coordinator,” said Blake.

“You coordinate stunts, you coordinate dancing, it is choreography. So it’s to be able to say ‘this is what happens here, here and here in a stunt’, and ‘this is what happens here and here in a dance’, but like ‘now you guys put your bodies together, and your mouths and whatever’ and just action and cut,” she explained.

Blake added, “I think that being choreographed is critical for everyone’s safety.”

For those unversed, It Ends With Us is out in cinemas. The story follows the journey of a young woman named Lily Bloom, who falls in love with a man, Ryle Kincaid.

Disney’s studio has finally unveiled the first teaser for the live-action remake of Snow White.

Debuting at the D23 fan event on Friday night in Anaheim, California, the footage features glimpses of Rachel Zegler as the iconic titular character and Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen.

“Magic mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest one of all?” Gal says in the trailer.

At the event, the Wonder Woman star also discussed playing the villain in the movie, saying the role was something she took very seriously.

“I wanted to make sure that we keep her delightful and delicious, and we understand what makes her tick,” Gal said. “Then the evilness is interesting and not just flat.”

The 39-year-old actress continued, “For me it was making sure the Queen is not just evil for the sake of being evil. There is a complexity. Between the two characters, it’s like a mother-daughter relationship in a weird way.

“It’s what happens to a woman when she feels like she’s not relevant anymore, what can come out of her,” she added.

Snow White will hit theaters on March 21, 2025.

• PTI’s top leader said no deal had been struck with anyone.

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Secretary General Omar Ayub said Saturday that the armed forces and intelligence agencies are state employees as he called on the institutions to stay within their limits.

“Politicians are also bound to do their politics within the constitutional parameters,” the National Assembly opposition leader told media in Lahore as he explained his point of view.

The PTI has been in trouble since May 9, 2023 — the day protests broke out following PTI founder Imran Khan’s arrest — as mobs attacked state installations, including the Corps Commander House in Lahore.

Khan, who has been behind bars for more than a year, had recently said that he was open to talks but only within the ambit provisioned by the Constitution and also promised to apologise if PTI workers were found responsible for the May 9 riots.

“Am I insane to ask our people to attack the army,” said Khan, adding that the PTI workers were not involved in the May 9 riots and they were wrongfully declared “terrorists” for staging peaceful protests.

In his conversation with the media today, Ayub said that the PTI founder would move court seeking CCTV footage of the May 9 protests.

The PTI’s top leader said no deal had been struck with anyone. He added that Khan had stressed that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and the Pakistan Peoples Party were trying to create rifts between the nation and the army.

Moving further, he claimed this was the year of a fresh election, and that’s why the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) should be independent.

Ayub’s above mentioned claim echoed his party founder’s statement, who said that the incumbent government led by the PML-N is only left with two months.

“The government is plunging into a quagmire; however, they [rulers] are fools and unable to understand,” he said.

Meanwhile, in his conversation with reporters at Lahore’s Kot Lakhpat jail, PTI leader Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that he had been in politics for 40 years and for 39 years, no case had been lodged against him — pointing towards dozens of cases registered following May 9.

“Dozens of cases were lodged against me in a year. Now, whether anyone likes it or not, the PTI founder is a reality. There’s not going to be stability if they do not accept this reality,” Qureshi added.

Calling for cooling the political heat, the former foreign minister said that the nation’s leaders should stop calling their rivals “traitors”. For 75 years, he said, “we’ve been distributing traitor certificates.”

As the US presidential elections are just around the corner, President Kamala Harris along with her recently appointed running mate, Tim Walz, held a rally in Arizona on Friday.

After nominating Walz as her running mate, the vice president aims to gain support from the electoral battlegrounds, as per ABC News.

Harris addressed an audience of over 15,000 gathered at the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, who were energised by the speech of the Democratic candidate on Friday.

Phyllis Zero, a 65-year-old grandmother from Maricopa, praised Harris’ statements over unity and her policy on healthcare and reproductive rights.

“Her message to me wasn’t just hope, but renewed faith in democracy, that we can do this,” Zeno said.

Moreover, Jen Duran, a 37-year-old mother and independent voter, was also impressed by the vice president’s commendable policies.

“I have an elementary school daughter who has been going to this school since she was 4, and today we got a notification that there was a lockdown drill,” Duran said. “So, safety for our kids is really important.”

Meanwhile, speaking to the crowd, Harris discussed the steps she has taken earlier as a law enforcement official, including over transnational gangs, drug cartels, and smugglers.

“I prosecuted them in case after case, and I won,” Harris said in front of a crowd of more than 15,000 in Glendale, a suburb of Phoenix. “So, I know what I’m talking about.”

During her address, Gaza protestors disrupted the vice president. She stopped and said: “Hold on a second.”

Harris said she has been clear that “now is the time to get a cease-fire deal” to end fighting between Israel and Hamas that has caused the deaths of tens of thousands of people in Gaza. 

The Democratic presidential nominee said she and President Joe Biden “are working around the clock every day to get that cease-fire deal done and bring the hostages home.”

Harris added: “I respect your voices, but we are here to now talk about this race in 2024.”

Donald Trump, on the other hand, visited Montana for a rally in support of Republican Senate candidate Tim Sheehy.

Earlier on Friday, the former president’s plane was diverted on its way to the Montana rally due to a mechanical issue; however, the staff member at the Billings airport landed safely in nearby Billings. 

• PHC registrar says advocate general’s request cannot be considered.
• Court stresses violation of provisions of Rules of Business of 1985.
• KP govt sought appointment of judicial officers to probe May 9 riots.

PESHAWAR: The Peshawar High Court (PHC) has turned down Chief Minister Ali Amin Gandapur-led Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government’s request for constituting a judicial commission to probe last year’s May 9 riots triggered after Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Imran Khan’s arrest in a graft case.

In its response to the KP government’s letter seeking the formation of a judicial commission, the PHC’s registrar said that Advocate General Shah Faisal Uthmankhel’s request cannot be considered as it violates the provisions of the Rules of Business of 1985.

The development comes after the provincial government, last month, wrote to the PHC Chief Justice Ishtiaq Ibrahim seeking an investigation into the May 9 incidents that saw military installations including the Rawalpindi’s General Headquarters (GHQ), Lahore Corps Commander’s House being vandalised by mobs.

The then-Prime Minister Shehbaz-Sharif-led Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government, as well as the incumbent regime, have time again blamed the PTI for orchestrating the riots — an allegation vehemently denied by the former ruling party with its founder Khan saying that he would sack and himself seek punishment for the PTI members if they were found involved in the incidents.

The military has also called for the perpetrators of the riots to be punished as per the Constitution and the law of the land to preserve credibility and faith in the country’s justice system.

“Army’s stance on [May 9] is clear, which was conveyed in the May 7 [2024] press conference. There has been no change in that nor will there be,” Director General Inter-Services Public Relations (DG ISPR) Major General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry said in a press conference last month.

The KP government’s letter in question, which was also confirmed by provincial Law Minister Aftab Alam Afridi last month, had requested the PHC CJ to nominate a judge or judges for the judicial commission as per the decision of the KP cabinet made on June 27, The News reported on Saturday.

The AG had stated that the KP government would notify the names of the judges once the PHC constituted the judicial commission and nominated judges for that.

He had stated that Terms of Reference for the commission would be prepared later for the commission to bring forth the fact behind the May acts.
