<p>At the 2025 Cannes Film Festival's opening ceremony, Leonardo DiCaprio delivered an emotional and heartfelt tribute to his longtime mentor and co-star Robert De Niro, who received the prestigious Palme d&rsquo;Or for Lifetime Achievement.</p>
<p>Quoting a story that holds special significance for him, DiCaprio smiled as he shared,<em><strong> &ldquo;&rsquo;Second kid from the last&rsquo; luckily, that second kid was me.&rdquo;</strong> </em>He was honored to present the award to De Niro, who played a crucial role in launching his career.</p>
<p>DiCaprio and De Niro first worked together in the 1993 film This Boy&rsquo;s Life, and reunited three decades later for Killers of the Flower Moon, which screened at Cannes in 2023. Reflecting on their first collaboration, DiCaprio said during the 2025 ceremony:</p>
<p><em><strong>&ldquo;I was one of many very lucky kids who had the incredible opportunity to audition for, and ultimately work with, him early in my career on This Boy&rsquo;s Life. The audition process was tough. There was a lot of competition, and none of us knew who would get the part. At 15 or 16 years old, I did the only thing I could think of to stand out, I screamed at him at the top of my lungs.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>
<p>He continued with a laugh: <em><strong>&ldquo;The room burst into laughter. Later that day, as the story goes, Bob was getting on his plane when the producer asked, &lsquo;Who do you want to play the part?&rsquo; And in classic De Niro fashion, he replied, &lsquo;Second kid from the last.&rsquo; Luckily, that second kid was me.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>
<p>With a warm smile, DiCaprio concluded,&nbsp;<em><strong>&ldquo;That moment changed my life forever. It started my entire career in the world of cinema. So, without speaking for the entire world of cinema, but probably doing it anyway, there is no one more deserving of this Palme d&rsquo;Or or Lifetime Achievement Award than Mr. Robert De Niro.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>

<p>De Niro, in response to the announcement of his Lifetime Achievement honor, shared in a statement:</p>
<p><em><strong>&ldquo;I have such close feelings for Festival de Cannes&hellip; Especially now, when there's so much in the world pulling us apart, Cannes brings us together, storytellers, filmmakers, fans, and friends. It's like coming home.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>
<p>Throughout his illustrious career, Robert De Niro has won two Academy Awards, Best Supporting Actor for his role as young "Vito Corleone" in The Godfather Part II (1974), and Best Actor for his iconic portrayal of "Jake LaMotta" in Raging Bull (1980). He has received additional Oscar nominations for Taxi Driver (1976), The Deer Hunter (1978), Awakenings (1990), Cape Fear (1991), Silver Linings Playbook (2012), and Killers of the Flower Moon (2023).</p>

<p>What happens when a wealthy criminal mastermind tries to cheat death and fortune? This is the darkly thrilling premise of "Just Play Dead," an upcoming film starring Oscar nominee Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction), the enigmatic Eva Green and rising Spanish star Mar&iacute;a Pedraza.</p>
<p>Directed by Gary Fleder (Homefront, Runaway Jury, Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead) and written by Dan Gordon (Rambo: Last Blood, The Hurricane), this stylish thriller promises deceit, betrayal, and deadly mind games.</p>
<p><strong>Plot Summary&nbsp;</strong></p>

However, Nora has her own agenda: she plans to kill Jack for real, frame her surfer lover, Chad, and keep the fortune for herself. As betrayals pile up, Jack and Nora race to outwit each other in a deadly game of deception. Only one can emerge alive from this high-stakes showdown.</p>

<p>Fashion met nostalgia in New York City as Jenna Ortega paid tribute to one of television's most iconic fashion moments at the world premiere of "Hurry Up Tomorrow".&nbsp; The actress stunned the red carpet in a vintage John Galliano newspaper dress, the same design famously worn by Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw in "Sex and the City".</p>
<p>Jenna&rsquo;s outfit is a modern take on Carrie&rsquo;s classic style. She wore a statement dress with gold open-toe sandals, a gold pendant necklace, and subtle hardware accents that completed the look. Her makeup matched the dress colors with a deep smoky eye and shimmering gold eyeshadow for a stylish effect.</p>
<p>While Carrie originally styled the dress with her famous blonde waves, Ortega chose a sleeker look. She wore her straight jet-black hair in a chic blowout, giving her own spin on the iconic outfit.</p>
<p>Carrie Bradshaw first donned the dress in "Sex and the City" Season 3, Episode 17, titled &ldquo;What Goes Around Comes Around,&rdquo; which aired in October 2000. She later revived the look in "Sex and the City 2" (2010), solidifying the dress as a fan-favorite fashion moment.</p>
<p>Jenna attended the "Hurry Up Tomorrow" premiere alongside The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, and co-star Barry Keoghan. Director Trey Edward Shults and co-writer Reza Fahim, who collaborated with Tesfaye and Shults on the film's screenplay, were also present.</p>
<p>The film, inspired by The Weeknd&rsquo;s music, follows a musician suffering from insomnia as he embarks on a surreal journey with a mysterious stranger, an odyssey that begins to unravel his very sense of reality. "Hurry Up Tomorrow" hits theaters on May 16.</p>
<p>The premiere marked a full-circle moment for Tesfaye, whose final album under The Weeknd name, also titled "Hurry Up Tomorrow", was released on January 31, 2025. This project signifies the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter as the artist embraces his real name, Abel Tesfaye.</p>
<p>After years of speculation following the 2022 release of "Dawn FM", this sixth studio album provides fans with both closure and a bold new direction.</p>

<p>It&rsquo;s 13th May , and yes &mdash; that means it&rsquo;s Robert Pattinson&rsquo;s birthday. The actor who once had teenage girls fainting in cinemas as Edward Cullen in The Twilight Saga has officially entered his 38th year. But if you still think of Pattinson as just a vampire with good hair, you haven&rsquo;t been paying attention.</p>
<p><iframe title="Watch Edward &amp; Bella Fall in Love in Twilight" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HtXlX-Q_dvw" width="1310" height="737" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Over the past decade, Pattinson has reinvented himself &mdash; not once, but several times &mdash; turning what could&rsquo;ve been a fading YA idol legacy into one of the most eclectic and risk-taking careers in Hollywood.</p>
<p><strong>A Brit in Forks</strong></p>
<p>Born in London in 1986, Robert Douglas Thomas Pattinson started off as a model before landing his first major film role as Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005). But it was Twilight (2008) &mdash; and its four sequels &mdash; that changed his life overnight.</p>
<p>Edward Cullen made him a global superstar, a teen obsession, and a tabloid fixture. But Pattinson was never comfortable with the fame machine. &ldquo;The only thing I regret about Twilight is that it kind of blew up everything I&rsquo;d been working toward,&rdquo; he told Esquire in a 2020 interview.</p>
<p><strong>Life After Vampires</strong></p>
<p>Rather than cash in on his heartthrob status, Pattinson made the unlikely (and wildly smart) move to arthouse cinema. Collaborating with auteurs like David Cronenberg (Cosmopolis, Maps to the Stars), Claire Denis (High Life), and The Safdie Brothers (Good Time), he crafted a reputation as one of the boldest actors of his generation.</p>
<p>He stripped away the glitter and leaned into roles that were dirty, damaged, and often uncomfortable. Whether playing a criminal on the run or a stranded astronaut in emotional decay, Pattinson chased roles that let him disappear &mdash; and challenge every assumption audiences had about him.</p>
<p><strong>The Batman Era</strong></p>
<p>In 2022, Pattinson reclaimed the blockbuster crown with Matt Reeves&rsquo; The Batman &mdash; a moody, noir-soaked reinvention of Bruce Wayne. Gone was the polished playboy of previous versions; Pattinson&rsquo;s Batman was younger, angrier, more wounded. Critics praised the performance, with The New Yorker calling it &ldquo;the most emotionally intimate portrayal of Batman to date.&rdquo;</p>
<p><iframe title="THE BATMAN &ndash; Main Trailer" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mqqft2x_Aa4" width="1310" height="737" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It also marked the beginning of a new franchise era. A sequel is officially in the works, with The Batman: Part II currently slated for 2026.</p>
<p>Aside from the Batman sequel, Pattinson appeared in Bong Joon-ho&rsquo;s sci-fi film Mickey 17 &mdash;released in 9th of April in Egyptian cinemas. The film pushes Pattinson even further into surreal, high-concept territory.</p>
<p><iframe title="Mickey 17 | Official Trailer" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/osYpGSz_0i4" width="1310" height="737" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</p>
<p>From the sparkly vampire who made teenage hearts race to the indie darling defying every studio mold, he&rsquo;s become an actor who thrives in tension &mdash; between art and audience, persona and performance.</p>
<p><strong>Private, Eccentric, and Still Surprising</strong></p>
<p>Off-screen, Pattinson has remained deeply private and, at times, gleefully bizarre. He once pitched a pasta-filled &ldquo;fast food invention&rdquo; to GQ while microwaving sugar and cheese in a foil-wrapped glove. He also joked that he refused to work out for Batman &mdash; even though he clearly did.</p>
<p>Despite years in the spotlight, Pattinson resists being packaged. He doesn&rsquo;t do social media. He doesn&rsquo;t play the fame game. Instead, he lets the work speak &mdash; and occasionally, lets his weird flag fly.</p>
<p>He&rsquo;s currently engaged to singer and model Suki Waterhouse, and the couple is expecting their first child &mdash; a new chapter in both his personal life and public narrative.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Happy Birthday, Rob. Keep keeping us on our toes.</strong></p>

<p><strong>Mayhem &ndash; Lady Gaga</strong><br /> Lady Gaga roars back into the spotlight with Mayhem, her first solo studio album since 2020. Featuring electrifying singles like &ldquo;Disease&rdquo; and &ldquo;Abracadabra,&rdquo; Gaga shifts away from her piano-driven ballads and dives headfirst into thumping synths and anthemic choruses. She&rsquo;s not just topping playlists&mdash;she&rsquo;s smashing records, recently performing for over 2.5 million fans at the Rio Show, marking one of the largest concert crowds in history.</p>

<p><strong>I Said I Love You First &ndash; Selena Gomez &amp; Benny Blanco</strong><br /> Five years after Rare, Selena Gomez returns with her most personal and compelling album yet&mdash;I Said I Love You First, a collaborative project with Benny Blanco. More than just romantic partners, the duo proves to be a creative force, blending emotional storytelling with slick production. The album showcases their chemistry and artistry, turning each track into a chapter of a love story that's both real and resonant.</p>

<p><strong>Eternal Sunshine (Deluxe Edition) &ndash; Ariana Grande</strong><br /> Ariana Grande continues her musical evolution with Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead, released on March 28, 2025. The expanded version of her 2024 hit album features new songs and a companion short film co-directed by Grande herself. The original album marked her return to solo music after a three-year break, debuting at number one on the Billboard 200. With its blend of pop, R&amp;B, and synth-pop, the project has been praised for its vulnerability and sonic richness. A live version&mdash;Slightly Deluxe and Also Live&mdash;was also released in late 2024, featuring a standout remix with Mariah Carey.</p>

<p><strong>$ome $exy $ongs 4 U &ndash; Drake</strong><br /> Drake surprises fans with $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, a full-length collaboration with PartyNextDoor that brings back the sensual, R&amp;B-infused vibes of his early career. The album features infectious tracks like &ldquo;Nokia,&rdquo; which has remained a fixture on the Billboard Hot 100 for weeks. It's a smooth, sultry ride that reminds us why Drake continues to dominate the charts.</p>

Islam was awarded a Special Jury Prize at the Arab Hollywood Film Festival. The movie was also screened at the Berlin Film Festival.</p>
<p>Mubarak had an unforgettable participation in&nbsp;&nbsp;"You Will Die at 20", the first Sudanese film to be nominated for an Oscar. Her vibrant and unforgettable performance resonated deeply with critics and audiences worldwide.</p>
<p>In an exclusive interview with Nile FM, Islam reflected on her journey, cultural identity, and aspirations for Sudanese cinema, expressing how cultural background continues to inspire and guide her career.</p>
<p><iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fpermalink.php%3Fstory_fbid%3Dpfbid0FQFTiTsKLf9JBqxxtkRGBEEoDB6E7qGGz84kXsdsYqJGB9F4oPqhKMi1PcKZwo9Al%26id%3D100063596355355&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=500" width="500" height="250" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>&ldquo;Seret Ahl El Daye&rdquo; (The Tale of Daye&rsquo;s Family)</strong></p>
<p><strong>How did you receive the news of winning the Special Jury Prize at the Arab Hollywood Film Festival on your role in Seret Ahl El Daye?</strong></p>
<p>Winning the Special Jury Prize at the Arab Hollywood Film Festival on my role in &lsquo;Daye&rsquo;, means a great deal to me. It represents both, artistic maturity and the start of a new phase in my career.</p>
<p><strong>What attracted you to the story of Daye? And how did you find presenting a character from a family on a difficult journey from Aswan to Cairo?</strong></p>
<p>What attracted me most to the story was the depth of its humanity &mdash; how it highlights the real and underrepresented presence of people with albinism in our communities. The script offered a rare opportunity to dive into their world, understand their emotions, and explore how they relate to those around them.</p>
<p><strong>How would you describe your experience working with director Karim El Shenawy?</strong></p>
<p>Working with director Karim El Shenawy was a great enriching experience. He&rsquo;s a director who knows exactly what he wants and always chooses scripts with strong social angles. His unique touch was present in every aspect of the film. It was an honor to be part of a cast with such diverse acting backgrounds. Being part of international festivals like Berlinale and Red Sea was another personal milestone &mdash; a confirmation of my presence not only in the Arab film scene but also on a broader, more global level.</p>
<p><strong>What does the Sudanese woman represent to you?</strong></p>
<p>My role reminded me of the power and resilience of Sudanese women who, despite political and social struggles, remain pillars of courage, beauty, and perseverance across all fields, not just in cinema. I believe that my character sends a clear message to every woman suffering in silence: &lsquo;We do not have the luxury of collapsing&rsquo;.</p>
<p><strong>Any upcoming projects?</strong></p>
<p>Right now, I&rsquo;m preparing for a number of projects; some completed, some in progress, and others still in the early discussion phase. I will continue to appear in Egyptian productions, especially after the success of "Ashgal Shaqa Gedan"</p>
<p>&nbsp;<iframe style="border: none; overflow: hidden;" src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?height=476&amp;href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Freel%2F546850181096658%2F&amp;show_text=false&amp;width=267&amp;t=0" width="267" height="476" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><strong>&ldquo;Madina from Nigeria&rdquo; &nbsp;in &ldquo;Ashgal Shaqa Gedan&rdquo;</strong></p>
<p><strong>Did you expect such success to your role as 'Madina'?</strong></p>
<p>I never expected the overwhelming response to &ldquo;Madina.&rdquo; Seeing the character go viral and resonate with so many people has been both surprising and joyful. The phrase &ldquo;Madina from Nigeria&rdquo; turned into a widespread meme, and I followed the reactions closely on social media. There was great love to Madina.</p>
<p><strong>Take us &nbsp;behind-the-scenes of &ldquo;Ashgal Shaqa Gedan&rdquo;</strong></p>
<p>Behind the scenes, we had lots of fun and laughter. It felt more like being part of a large, supportive family than just a cast.</p>
<p><strong>How was it working with Hesham Maged and Asmaa Galal? Was there any improvisation?</strong></p>
<p>Working with Hesham Maged and Asmaa Galal was a pleasure &mdash; everyone was incredibly kind and collaborative. The role of &ldquo;Madina&rdquo; didn&rsquo;t require much improvisation since the character was already well-defined, but director Khaled Diab gave us space to add or adjust things under his guidance, which made the process even more enjoyable.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>&ldquo;You will die at 20&rdquo;</strong></p>
<p><strong>&ldquo;You Will Die at 20&rdquo; was an important milestone for you in the cinema. How was that experience?</strong></p>
<p>&ldquo;You Will Die at 20&rdquo; was my first film after a long journey in the TV industry, and I consider it the foundation of my cinematic career. The film holds a very special place in my heart. Every detail of the experience was rich and meaningful.</p>
<p><strong>&ldquo;You will die at 20&rdquo;was screened at major festivals like Venice and El Gouna. How did that influence your artistic journey?</strong></p>
<p>Participating in major festivals like Venice and El Gouna was a huge achievement, especially considering the years I spent acting without the chance to do cinema due to my country&rsquo;s circumstances. This film was the dream I thought was impossible, and it came true by God&rsquo;s grace.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>On Sudanese Representation and Cultural Identity</strong></p>
<p><strong>How do you see the presence of Sudanese actors in today&rsquo;s Arab film scene? Do you feel there&rsquo;s progress in how Sudanese identity is represented in arts and media?</strong></p>
<p>The presence of Sudanese actors in the Arab film scene, although it was overdue , is finally gaining momentum. Sudanese talents are rich and capable, but political and economic challenges have hindered their visibility. I believe this is just the beginning, &nbsp;the world is about to witness a powerful Sudanese emergence in cinema. After years of artistic stagnation, we are now exploring our voice again, and the number of awards won by Sudanese films; whether features, short, or documentaries &mdash; proves that growth and renewal are underway.</p>
<p><strong>Should art have geographic or cultural limits?</strong></p>
<p>Let me answer with questions: Do the arts have geographic boundaries? Should an actor be confined to a specific cultural identity?</p>
<p>We must work towards reviving Sudanese cinema, not just restoring it to its former glory, but surpassing it. I believe this is a right owed to the country that gave me my identity and shaped my soul.</p>
<p><strong>You were born in Khartoum and have starred in major Egyptian productions. How do you balance your Sudanese cultural identity with being part of the Egyptian entertainment scene?</strong></p>
<p>Being born in Khartoum and working in prominent Egyptian productions has required a delicate balance between my Sudanese cultural identity and my place in the Egyptian entertainment world. But I see this duality as a strength.</p>
<p><strong>Do you have any upcoming projects in Sudan? Are you aiming to contribute to the revival or development of Sudanese cinema?</strong></p>
<p>I do have plans to work on projects in Sudan, and I strongly believe in the importance of reviving Sudanese cinema, not just restoring it, but building it into something even greater. This is my obligation to the country that shaped my identity and spirit.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Aspirations and the Road Ahead</strong></p>
<p><strong>What is your dream role?</strong></p>
<p>Every role I&rsquo;ve played touches me . My true passion lies in characterization &mdash; I long for roles that offer genuine emotional truth. There are still dream roles I haven&rsquo;t yet explored, and I hope time will allow me to bring them to life.</p>
<p><strong>If you sum up your professional journey so far in one sentence, what would it be?</strong></p>
<p>What drives me is a combination of passion, perseverance, trust in myself, tireless effort, and deep faith in God. If I had to summarize my journey in one sentence, I&rsquo;d say: &lsquo; Passion, resilience, confidence and effort without despair and with full faith in God&rsquo;</p>

Exclusive: Islam Moubarak “Madina from Nigeria”: Arts have No Geographic Boundaries

<p><strong>By:</strong> Yomna Walid&nbsp;</p>
<p>Easter isn&rsquo;t just about colorful eggs and festive meals &mdash; it&rsquo;s also a time to celebrate nature&rsquo;s beauty, fresh beginnings, and quality time with loved ones. This year, the Ministry of Agriculture welcomes spring with the grand opening of the 92nd Spring Flower Exhibition at the Agricultural Museum, featuring more than 160 exhibitors and entrepreneurs. Held in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the exhibition invites visitors, experts, and enthusiasts from around the world to immerse themselves in a vibrant display of flowers, plants, and sustainable innovations.</p>
<p><br />Launched in 1930, the exhibition has blossomed into an annual tradition that heralds the arrival of spring and coincides with the joyful spirit of Easter.<br />As part of our special coverage, Nile FM spoke with Engineers&nbsp;<strong>Amr Tamoum,</strong> and <strong>Ahmed Mostafa</strong>, one of this year&rsquo;s featured participants.</p>
<p><br /><strong>Plants Worth Over 100K EGP!</strong></p>
<p>Amr has been taking part in the exhibition since 2012, making this his 13th year. He shared his experience and spoke about some of the rarest and most expensive plants on display.<br />"One of the flowers that always catches visitors&rsquo; eyes is the Bougainvillea, thanks to its rich and interwoven colors," said Amr.

Exclusive: Spring Flowers Blooming With Passion

<p>Basmah Osman had us all reaching for our notebooks after her inspiring appearance today on The Big Breakfast Show with Rob and Nadine, live from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM on Nile FM. The conversation quickly turned into a powerful deep dive into self-discovery, personal growth, and empowerment. Basmah shared a message that set the tone for the entire interview: <em><strong>&ldquo;If you change your mind, you can change your life.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>
<p>Basmah, an executive Coach and a Managing Partner at elleKhan Division of FekrKhan, is also serving as a jury member at the upcoming International Women&rsquo;s Summit. With a decade of experience at the Federation of Egyptian Industries, she later transitioned into the world of executive coaching and has since become a strong voice in the women&rsquo;s empowerment movement.</p>
<p>When asked how she defines success, Basmah reflected, &ldquo;Success in life is about asking yourself&mdash;who do I want to be? I want to do this, I want to be this.&rdquo; She emphasized the importance of self-awareness as a catalyst for building confidence and making informed life choices.</p>
<p>But what if you're uncertain about your path? Basmah encourages asking yourself, &ldquo;What are my options and resources?&rdquo; Every step forward, she says, is either a move in the right direction or a lesson that helps clarify what you truly want. Disappointment, while difficult, is often an inevitable part of the journey&mdash;but it also prepares you for what's next.</p>
<p>She highlighted the power of failure and starting over: &ldquo;If I haven&rsquo;t been through difficult experiences, how can I empathize with others?&rdquo; According to her, pain and setbacks are not just part of life&mdash;they&rsquo;re essential to understanding it from a human perspective.</p>
<p>On the topic of imposter syndrome, Basmah shared candidly, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m 60 years old and I still get it.&rdquo; That voice in your head that questions your worth is just your mind trying to keep you in the comfort zone, she explained. The key to overcoming it? Focus on taking one step at a time&mdash;almost like manifesting success.</p>
<p>As she prepares to sit on the jury panel at the International Women&rsquo;s Summit, Basmah shared how she gears up for public speaking: &ldquo;I do prepare, but I also read the room. Every audience is different.&rdquo; What excites her the most? &ldquo;Discovering the hidden gems&mdash;meeting women from different industries feels like a treasure hunt.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She also made a powerful statement on women&rsquo;s representation: &ldquo;If women aren&rsquo;t given space, they&rsquo;ll create their own.&rdquo; And she urged companies and stakeholders to diversify their teams: &ldquo;The world can&rsquo;t run on just 50% of its population. When men and women work together, you get a powerhouse.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Basmah Osman left us with more than inspiration&mdash;she left us with a mindset shift.</p>

Basmah Osman: "If You Change Your Mind, You Can Change Your Life" — Self-Empowerment and More

<p><strong>By:</strong> Yomna Walid</p>
<p>Nesma has officially been selected to participate in the prestigious Hollywood Arab Film Festival. The moving short follows 12-year-old Nesma, who pretends to be Olfat convincing everyone around her that Olfat is still alive in a desperate attempt to avoid returning to the shelter.</p>
<p>Nile FM interviewed the talented debut director Rahaff Ahmed, who opened up about the emotional roots of her first film, the challenges of bringing it to life, and what this milestone means for her career.</p>
<p><strong>How did you feel when you first found out that your short film, Nesma, had been officially selected for the Hollywood Arab Film Festival?</strong></p>
<p>I was overwhelmed with emotion. Nesma is my first short film and also my graduation project, so hearing that it got into an international festival like the Hollywood Arab Film Festival was surreal. I didn&rsquo;t expect it, it felt like a reward after months of effort, uncertainty, and pouring so much of myself into the film.</p>
<p><strong>What does this milestone mean to you personally and professionally, especially as your first short film?</strong></p>
<p>Personally, it means the world. Nesma is a very intimate story for me, rooted in real emotions I&rsquo;ve been dealing with. So seeing it reach others on such a scale is deeply moving. Professionally, it&rsquo;s a big step forward. As someone just starting out, I honestly didn&rsquo;t expect the film to make it into a festival like this, but it did, and that gave me the motivation to keep going and continue developing the stories I want to tell.</p>
<p><strong>Can you walk us through the journey of creating Nesma&mdash;what inspired the story, and what message did you hope to convey?</strong></p>
<p>The story was born out of personal grief. Two years ago, I lost my grandmother shortly after filming a documentary about her. That loss stayed with me. I found myself avoiding it and at the same time being consumed by it. Nesma is my attempt to give shape to that feeling of being caught between denial and pain. Like me, Nesma is just a child trying to navigate a harsh reality she didn&rsquo;t choose. I wanted to explore what it means to survive emotionally in a world that doesn&rsquo;t pause for your grief.</p>
<p><strong>What were the biggest challenges you faced during the making of the film?</strong></p>
<p>Directing a child actor was both the biggest challenge and a beautiful part of the process. Habiba, who played Nesma, is incredibly smart and intuitive, but as a child, she needed a lot of emotional guidance. Working with Meriam Altahawy, Habiba&rsquo;s acting coach, was a game-changer. She played a key role in helping Habiba tap into the character&rsquo;s emotions in an organic way. Balancing the emotional depth of the story with a young performer required patience and a lot of trust.</p>

<p><strong>You&rsquo;ve spoken about being grateful to those who supported you&mdash;was there someone in particular whose belief in Nesma made a lasting impact?</strong></p>
<p>Definitely. I owe so much to Alia Ibrahim, who developed the story with me and wrote the script. She understood my emotional starting point and helped translate it into a powerful narrative. I&rsquo;m also grateful to Ali El Arabi (Producer) and Rodrigo Brum (Project Supervisor) for their support and belief in the project from the beginning.</p>
<p><strong>How do you see this achievement shaping your next steps as a filmmaker? Are there new projects you&rsquo;re working on or thinking about?</strong></p>
<p>This recognition has definitely given me more motivation to keep going. Right now, I&rsquo;m working on a new short film called Heat. It was selected for Cinephilia&rsquo;s Workroom in January 2025. I&rsquo;m currently in the writing phase, and the story is much more intimate and emotionally raw.</p>
<p><strong>What do you hope international audiences will take away from Nesma, especially now that it's being screened at a global festival?</strong></p>
<p>I hope they leave thinking about the reality of how we often don&rsquo;t process grief properly. Life keeps moving forward, even when you feel completely stuck or shattered. When a child experiences something like that, it becomes even more complicated and isolating. Nesma is a 12-year-old girl doing everything she can to hold on to the little safety she has left. The story isn&rsquo;t about solving grief; it&rsquo;s about what happens when you&rsquo;re forced to carry it too soon, and how survival sometimes looks like pretending everything&rsquo;s okay when it&rsquo;s not.</p>
<p>&nbsp;From personal loss to international acclaim, Rahaff Ahmed&rsquo;s cinematic voice has struck a universal chord. If Nesma is any indication, her journey as a filmmaker is only just beginning.</p>

<p>Fresh off the viral success of her hit single Espresso, Sabrina&rsquo;s momentum hasn&rsquo;t slowed. The track has become a cultural moment: TikTok can&rsquo;t stop spinning it, fashion editors are quoting it, and fans are calling it their &ldquo;song of the summer&rdquo; before summer even begins. It&rsquo;s cheeky, self-aware, and catchy as hell&mdash;just like Sabrina herself.</p>
<p>But it&rsquo;s not just Espresso. From Nonsense to Feather, she&rsquo;s built a catalog that&rsquo;s part heartbreak, part empowerment, and all her. With each song, she redefines the polished pop girl persona with more bite and more wit.</p>

<p>Nutritionist Fayrouz Eid joined Nile FM's Brain Busters to talk about the connection between food, stress, and overall well-being&mdash;especially during Ramadan.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>How Stress Affects Your Body: More Than Just a Feeling</strong></span></p>
<p>Stress doesn&rsquo;t just mess with your mood&mdash;it affects your hormones, metabolism, digestion, and even sleep. According to Fayrouz, when stress takes over, your body holds onto weight, craves unhealthy food, and struggles to function properly.</p>
<p>&ldquo;<em>One of the worst things you can do is skip meals</em>,&rdquo; she says. &ldquo;Your body needs consistency. If you have three meals, don&rsquo;t skip one of them. Stress makes it harder to tune into what your body needs.&rdquo; So, what&rsquo;s the fix? Deep breaths, proper sleep, and enough food. Skipping meals leaves you hungrier later, affecting digestion and disrupting sleep. <em>&ldquo;A well-rested body is a well-functioning body. Prioritizing good sleep and balanced meals is key.&rdquo;</em></p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Is Food the Main Factor Affecting Weight?</strong></span></p>
<p>Many people think weight is just about calories in, and calories out, but Fayrouz challenges that idea.</p>
<p><em>&ldquo;There are five major factors that affect weigh</em>t,&rdquo; she explains. &ldquo;<em>It&rsquo;s not just about food&mdash;it&rsquo;s about your emotional, social, and environmental well-being. Everything is connected.</em>&rdquo;</p>
<p>When stress is high, your body clings to energy sources, making extreme dieting or calorie-counting backfire. &ldquo;Numbers matter, sure, but if you&rsquo;re stressed out, your body reacts differently. Weight loss isn&rsquo;t just about food&mdash;it&rsquo;s about how your whole body responds to your environment.&rdquo;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What Would You Tell Your Younger Self?</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>If you could go back and give yourself one piece of advice about food and health, what would it be?</strong></p>
<p>Fayrouz keeps it simple: <em><strong>&ldquo;Don&rsquo;t restrict food unnecessar</strong>ily.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p><em>&ldquo;You&rsquo;re eating for your body now, not just for your age. Instead of extreme restriction, focus on balance. Calories matter, yes, but it&rsquo;s about what you eat, not just the numbers.&rdquo;</em></p>
<p>The Science Behind Hunger and Fullness</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>When it comes to eating habits, understanding how your body signals hunger and fullness is crucial. Two key hormones play a major role in this process:</strong></span></p>
<p><strong>1. Ghrelin &ndash; The Hunger Hormone</strong></p>
<p>Produced in the stomach, ghrelin signals your brain when it&rsquo;s time to eat. Its levels rise before meals, making you feel hungry, and decrease after eating. If you find yourself constantly craving food, ghrelin might be at play&mdash;especially if your eating schedule is inconsistent.</p>
<p><strong>2. Leptin &ndash; The Fullness Hormone</strong></p>
<p>Leptin, on the other hand, is released by fat cells and tells your brain when you&rsquo;re full. When leptin levels are high, you naturally eat less. However, chronic stress, poor sleep, and unhealthy eating habits can disrupt leptin sensitivity, making it harder to recognize when you&rsquo;ve had enough.</p>
<p>According to Fayrouz, maintaining balanced hormone levels isn&rsquo;t just about what you eat&mdash;it&rsquo;s also about lifestyle. by tuning into these natural cues, you can create a healthier relationship with food--not just during Ramadan, but all year round.</p>

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Make Ramadan Work for You</strong></span></p>
<p>Ramadan isn&rsquo;t just about fasting&mdash;it&rsquo;s an opportunity to check in with yourself. Instead of obsessing over food, ask yourself: How are my stress levels? Am I sleeping enough? Is my body getting what it truly needs?</p>
<p>When you take a holistic approach&mdash;balancing meals, managing stress, and getting enough rest&mdash;you&rsquo;ll feel lighter, stronger, and more energized. Not just during Ramadan, but all year long.</p>

Fayrouz Eid on Health, Eating Habits, and How to Make Ramadan Work for You

<p>Dr. Hajar El Haddawy, Director of Digital Corporation Organization also a board member with the CEO Women conference, adding to that, El Haddawy has a line inter-governmental and diplomacy, the focus of the 4th edition was Women in Tech</p>
<p>she stated in an interview with Nile FM that: <em>"Empowering woman in not a need, it's a necessity, so it's not only driving conferences but doing an impact, therefore this journey was all about impact, pulling women together from different verticals, industries, countries, and therefore we have diversity in terms of topics, but also in terms of people".</em></p>
<p>Dr. Hajar El Haddawy is the Director of the Digital Corporation Organization and a board member of the CEO Women Conference. In addition, El Haddawy has a background in intergovernmental relations and diplomacy. The focus of the 4th edition of the CEO Women Conference was "Women in Tech."</p>
<p>In an interview with Nile FM, she stated: "Empowering women is not a need, it's a necessity. It&rsquo;s not only about driving conferences, but also making an impact. This journey was all about impact&mdash;bringing women together from different verticals, industries, and countries. As a result, we have diversity not only in terms of topics but also in terms of people."</p>
<p>When asked about her role in the CEO Women Conference, Hajar replied, "The role, as you can imagine, is demanding! It's about building resilience in our member states from a digital economy perspective, but also ensuring prosperity for all. We drive projects to build resilience, empower GDP, and increase job creation in our member states. It&rsquo;s all about impact." She added that the goal is to build a community where all stakeholders, partners, and individuals can thrive together.</p>
<p>When asked whether women still face challenges or need to work twice as hard to achieve higher positions, Hajar responded, "Unfortunately, it's a fact that from one country to another, there are differences. There is a gap we need to work on, especially with the rise of AI." She continued, highlighting the importance of inclusivity in generative AI and the need for human-centered creation material. "Yes, there is a gap, and we need more women in the C-suite who have an impact on closing this gap."</p>
<p>Hajar also discussed the level of interest in the tech industry for women, saying, "It&rsquo;s very contradictory, and it depends on how we include women in corporations, enterprises, and how we guide them to build their own businesses. Of course, it&rsquo;s also important to include them in boards." She pointed out the significant gap: "The gap between universities and the tech industry is substantial. While 80% of university students are women, only 30% make it to board and C-level positions. We need to work on closing this gap and ensure women are empowered to reach the C-suite."</p>

<p>The launch of the CEO Women Club is something Hajar views as a necessity. "Together, as a community, we can empower and elevate each other to build a successful and impactful journey. Therefore, I&rsquo;m very glad and proud to be part of this powerhouse."</p>
<p>When asked about her definition of "Women Empowerment," Hajar said, "It starts with me. No one can empower you; you must empower yourself. What we need to do is share our experiences, provide more role models, and ensure more women are in decision-making positions. Confidence is the true empowerment of women."</p>
<p>She concluded, "Be confident and start your journey!"</p>

Dr. Hajar El Haddawy: Empowering Women and Building Resilience in Tech and Leadership

<p>Mr. Mostafa Hashem, Managing Partner of Focus Experiential Agency and Al-Manfaz Initiative, was NileFM's guest on "The Big Drive," and this is what he told us about &lsquo;Al-Manfaz&rsquo;:&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>What exactly is Al-Manfaz?</strong></p>
<p>Let me take you a couple of steps back and tell you the story and how it evolved to Al-Manfaz. So we're focused on experiential marketing. We're a marketing agency. We've been in business for nearly 10 years now. And we've realised we've got a lot of marketing expertise, and we've got some amazing clients that we work with. So we thought, like, well, we could also take this to the next level and do something good for society using our experience and the support of the clients we have. And that's where the whole idea of creating this gateway or hub to enable corporates to create a different experience with all their CSR activities comes in. So, you know, corporations, they do a lot of corporate social responsibility activities, and they do a lot of support in the society. So we thought, instead of just doing donations and that's it, why don't we create an experience around the whole CSR activities corporates do in Egypt? And so they create an experience and support the society. So that's how the whole concept works. And it officially went live in 2023. So, that's when Al-Manfaz was born, and the first activity during Ramadan went live.</p>
<p><strong>What is that experience?&nbsp;</strong></p>
<p>We are not an NGO ourselves. We're a for-profit organisation. But we do partner with two NGOs in Egypt who take care of the actual donation work. But we thought, let's create that different experience. We have created two events that we started in 2023. One is called Kolyum Hikaya, or Every Day a Story, and that happens in Ramadan. Every day during Ramadan we've got a story or an experience that one of our corporates shares with us. The second event is Back to School, so that happens towards September to support children in need when they're going back to school. And we call that Madrasta Al-Sa'adaa, or School of Happiness. So these are the two initiatives that we came up with to create those experiences.Ramadan EventThe way it works is that corporates sponsor the day and the experience, and the aim is to provide Ramadan boxes for those in need, and also we renovate kitchens during Ramadan. This year we're aiming for 100,000 boxes to be distributed across Egypt and renovating 100 kitchens all over the country. So we make sure that everyone gets a share of the boxes and also the kitchen renovations. And during back to school, we provide the children with supplies they need from a school bag, like the key things that you would need. We also provide a lunchbox with the actual supplies that they would need. So milk, drinks, and so on. We also participate in renovating schools. And I must say that this wouldn't have been possible without the support of the government. So I want to also take the opportunity to thank the Ministry of Social Solidarity and Her Excellency Dr. Maya Morsi, and also the Minister of Education, because you can't do social work without the support of those ministries. &nbsp;</p>
<p><br /><strong>What about the Ramadan event this year, and how does it differ from previous Ramadan events?</strong></p>
<p>We built this huge tent, which is actually a hub where it could hold up to 300 people at a time, and we built this belt similar to the ones you get at the airport where you see luggage moving on. That's where the boxes start to get loaded, and we have the corporates come in, and they contribute to the actual packing. But not only do they do the packing; there's a team-building activity involved, so they come in, they do a team-building activity, they do some exercise, a few icebreakers at the beginning, they do a few games, and so on, and then they actually start onto the packing activity. So is it teamwork?Absolutely, and the beauty is that you see everyone on board, from the CEOs and the executive team to all members of staff. Everyone is working hand in hand and participating together. So it becomes quite interesting, and it creates that memorable experience, and you're doing it for a good cause as well. So we're having fun. &nbsp;What's happening new this Ramadan? First of all, we're partnering with a team-building provider, Society of Play. They're going to be doing the team-building activities for the companies this year, so it's going to be a lot more exciting, with some new games involved. So that's one key thing, and it will hopefully create those better vibes and better experiences for those participating. We've also turned the location, the hub, into an Iftar place once the packing is all done. So, you can have your entire team enjoy Iftar in the same place right after you've done the packing activities and all the team-building exercises. So these are two key new things happening on the ground this year, but also the mission itself is getting much bigger. Last year, we aimed at 50,000 boxes.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>How many are there this year?</strong></p>
<p>This year, we're aiming at 100,000 boxes and 100 kitchens, so it's a much bigger challenge. We're aiming for more. There's a lot of packing, so you guys need to come over. What about the clients that participate with the Al-Manfaz Initiative?So obviously, without the clients, those corporates that take part every year, AlManfez would not exist. They are the ones that make the contribution. We have had clients with us since the first edition. Absolutely. They come in every year, participate every year, and they just don't get enough of it, which is absolutely. What&rsquo;s the beauty of Al-Manfaz? The beauty of Al-Manfaz versus just making a donation is actually participating in making it happen. The giving part, the donation itself, is fairly easy; like, if you get the means, you can make the donation, but it's taking the time from those executives and those corporates from the team members coming in, contributing, participating&mdash;that's what makes Al-Manfaz different than other activities.</p>
<p><strong>What about the new clients that participate with the Al-Manfaz Initiative?</strong></p>
<p>As I mentioned, there are quite a few clients, and some of them are new this year. Others have been with us since the first day of the first edition in 23. One other client I really want to give a shout-out for today is Maggie. Maggie has made a huge contribution this year as well. Whether it's to the boxes that are going to be distributed or the kitchen renovations as well. They've done a big chunk of the kitchen renovations this year, and they're also making an iftar on Mother's Day.How can other companies join you?We do have a few slots remaining. Most of the Ramadan calendar is now fully booked, but we still do have slots remaining for Ramadan. So if you're really keen on joining, you better do it this week or it's going to be gone. But also, if you've got no time to join us in Ramadan, you could also join us at Back to School in September, where we start the activities towards June time. So if you want to reach out, the number one source would be Instagram, almanfez.eg. You could reach us through there, or you could call us on our phone number, which is 011-500-24674. and we'd be more than happy to take a few more companies if we still have slots. Get on it. That's the message that we're giving you right now. Otherwise, you're going to miss that chance. It's going to be a good opportunity to be part of that. Something really, really special.&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Who are the rest of the team?</strong></p>
<p>I definitely want to give a big shout-out and thank you to Karim. Karim's our CEO, and he's the one that started the whole journey. I also want to give a shout-out to Dina. Dina is the mastermind behind Al-Manfaz. Shout out to Noran, who actually brought me into this whole thing in the first place. And shout out to the amazing team we have in Focus and Almanfaz. Everyone's doing an amazing job. Everyone's working really hard. And now's the time when everyone's like, There's no sleep now. Everyone's waiting. Everyone's getting ready. So big shout out to that amazing team we have and the amazing spirit.</p>

Mr. Mostafa Hashem, Managing Partner Of Focus Experiential Agency And Al-Manfaz Initiative, Shares His Experience On Al-Manfaz

<p>Raouf El Sherif, the Egyptian content creator, was NileFM's guest on "Brain Busters", and this what he told us about &lsquo;jumping out of your comfort zone&rsquo;</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What makes jumping out of comfort zone hard for most people?</strong></span></p>
<p>It depends on the setting. People usually are afraid to do it when their friends are watching or when people they might know make fun of them. For example, when you start a TIKTOK account, people want to make silly videos. They will be worried about who will watch their videos, and one will &nbsp;feel embarrassed when they know someone is watching you. By the time you build confidence, you start to be brave.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Why do you think traveling, or going to an event scene is so intimidating for some people?</strong></span></p>
<p>People's biggest concern is their safety, so having someone there usually provides you with &nbsp;more safety, it makes you feel that &nbsp;if something would go wrong you will have someone you know there, &nbsp;especially if you go to foreign country, and you don&rsquo;t know anyone it does help comfort you, but at the same time just &nbsp;doing &nbsp;those new things alone is a great experience, it forces you to go out your comfort zone as long as you don&rsquo;t go into a bad accident God forbid , but it&rsquo;s a great experience, and there are good stories come out there.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What advice would you give to someone who &nbsp;has never jumped out of their comfort zone?</strong></span></p>
<p>I would say practice being more social like for example just joke around with your local barista a bit more, &nbsp;talk to strangers a bit more, safely of course and take precautions Speak to people around you more often especially strangers, &nbsp;just be more smiley be just more friendly, easier to talk to because people will approach you &nbsp;and it is &nbsp;a lot &nbsp;easier when you are &nbsp;approached than approaching someone. Also when you do go abroad, especially if people don't speak the language of &nbsp;that country, it's really intimidating to just speak with strangers but if you're already used to that and &nbsp;if it's in your blood, &nbsp;it's a habit. &nbsp;You just need that social energy cause you miss it so you going be forced to speak to others &nbsp;and before you know you going to be introduced to most amazing people, and they going inviting you to places you never thought you will go.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Do you think social media helps people to feel brave enough to take risks, or does it make them feel more hesitant?</strong></span></p>
<p>Definitely, more hesitant,&nbsp; if you think about it people could be very mean online, especially when &nbsp;the strangers &nbsp;are hiding behind the keyboard, they &nbsp;are more likely to share hurtful opinions about you, once you put yourself out there to everyone to be seen it&rsquo;s very dangerous, it is a risky game, so you must be super confident, and also don&rsquo;t care about people&rsquo;s &nbsp;opinions. Also, don&rsquo;t care about the &nbsp;positive opinions, because if you really care about those once those are gone you going to feel empty inside, you don&rsquo;t need reassurance from strangers so you need to be confident in whatever you're posting and just know that the first video post online or the first thing that you ever do it's never going to be perfect and you can always get better, and better and same time it's going to take you months, and years to perfect it so don't stress yourself.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>What do you do to chase your dreams?</strong></span></p>
<p>I &nbsp;always tell people I do a lot of things for the younger version of me, there is something in life I don&rsquo;t want anymore, but I know that the younger me would be happy with, for example, I went to WrestleMania in the US, and I wasn&rsquo;t really a fan anymore but a younger version of me have loved to do.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>If you could give your younger self one piece of advice about taking risks, what would it be?</strong></span></p>
<p>I would say that you are never going to achieve your dreams if you just stay in your comfort zone, all the big dreams have some elements of risk in them, or otherwise, everyone would have done them, so if it&rsquo;s not risky, then it&rsquo;s not worth it. You got the &nbsp;leap of faith.</p>

<p>Creed fans, are you ready? Great excitement ahead! You guessed it right, Creed is coming up your way in a new form of drama on TV. A new drama series set in the Creed universe is in development, with franchise star Michael B. Jordan on board as executive producer, alongside showrunner Marco Ramirez (La M&aacute;quina).</p>
<p>The upcoming live-action series, titled Delphi, marks the Creed franchise&rsquo;s first foray into television. Set in the legendary Delphi Boxing Academy, the series will focus on the lives of young fighters training at the gym. While plot specifics remain under wraps, the promise of realistic drama and inspiring underdog stories is already generating buzz among fans.</p>
<p>Delphi Boxing Academy, named after the gym where Apollo Creed once trained, is run in the films by Tony &ldquo;Little Duke&rdquo; Evers, the son of Apollo&rsquo;s original trainer. It also serves as the training ground for Donnie Creed, brought to life with intensity and heart by Jordan.</p>
<p>Creed first hit theaters in 2015 as a powerful spin-off from the iconic Rocky film series created by Sylvester Stallone. Stallone appeared in the first two Creed films, while Michael B. Jordan took the spotlight in all three as Adonis &ldquo;Donnie&rdquo; Creed, the determined son of boxing legend Apollo Creed.</p>
<p>The Creed franchise has been a knockout success at the box office, earning over $660 million worldwide across three films. The latest installment, Creed III (2023), alone brought in $276 million globally and saw Jordan make his directorial debut.</p>
<p>The move to television is both exciting and unexpected for fans, who now have even more to look forward to in the ever-expanding Creed universe. With a strong creative team and rich storytelling potential, Delphi promises to deliver new heroes, intense rivalries, and the same emotional punch that made the films so beloved.</p>

<p>Imagine running into your favorite actor at a restaurant and then ending up as their co-star in a blockbuster film. That&rsquo;s exactly what happened to Tom Cruise, who is a self-proclaimed fan of Dustin Hoffman. In a candid conversation at the BFI in London, Cruise shared for the first time how a chance meeting with Hoffman changed his life and career forever.</p>
<p>Cruise recalled the serendipitous moment back in 1984, shortly after finishing Ridley Scott&rsquo;s "Legend". He was in New York visiting his sister, Cass, when they spotted Hoffman in a restaurant.</p>
<p><em><strong>&ldquo;She said, &lsquo;There&rsquo;s Dustin Hoffman,&rsquo;&rdquo; </strong></em>Cruise remembered.<em><strong> &ldquo;I looked up and there he was, wearing a hat, he was performing in &ldquo;Death of a Salesman", and he was ordering takeout. She insisted, &lsquo;You should go over and say hello to him.&rsquo; I replied, &lsquo;I&rsquo;m not going to say hello.&rsquo; But she wouldn&rsquo;t let it go.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>
<p>Despite his hesitation, Cass persisted.<em><strong> &ldquo;She finally said, &lsquo;If you don&rsquo;t do it, I&rsquo;m going to go over there and tell him who you are.&rsquo; I told her, &lsquo;He&rsquo;s not going to know who I am. That would be humiliating!&rsquo; But she kept pushing, so I finally gave in,&rdquo;</strong> </em>Cruise recounted.</p>
<p>What happened next surprised him.<em><strong> &ldquo;I approached him and said, &lsquo;Excuse me, Mr. Hoffman, I&rsquo;m sorry&hellip;&rsquo; and he responded, &lsquo;Cruise!&rsquo;&rdquo;</strong></em></p>
<p>Not only did Hoffman recognize him, but he also generously offered tickets to "Death of a Salesman" and invited Cruise and his sister backstage. As they parted ways, Hoffman said<em><strong>, "I want to make a movie with you.&rdquo; Cruise recalled responding, &ldquo;That would be nice, sir.&rdquo; A year later, Hoffman sent him the script for "Rain Man".</strong></em>&nbsp;</p>
<p>"Rain Man," directed by Barry Levinson, is about Charlie Babbitt (Cruise). He is a fast-talking businessman who learns that his estranged brother Raymond (Hoffman), who has autism and is a math genius, has received their father&rsquo;s fortune.</p>
<p>The film, released in 1988, was both a hit with critics and audiences. It won four Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor for Hoffman, and Best Original Screenplay. This success also helped Cruise establish himself in Hollywood as more than just a rising star; he became a major player in the industry.</p>

<p>Farahat's leadership in this landmark event not only represents a personal achievement but also signifies a broader movement towards inclusivity and cultural dialogue in the global music scene. His role in bringing together diverse musical traditions at one of the world's most iconic venues exemplifies the power of music to bridge cultural divides.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Trent&rsquo;s Message to Liverpool Fans</strong>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In an emotional farewell video, Alexander-Arnold paid tribute to the fans and the institution that shaped his career. <em><strong>&ldquo;The love I have for this club will never leave. It will never diminish. I'll love it forever,&rdquo;</strong> </em>he said.&nbsp;</p>
<p><em><strong>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll forever be in debt to the club and the fans for everything they&rsquo;ve done for me,&rdquo;</strong></em> he continued.<em><strong> &ldquo;There&rsquo;s no doubt about it, I&rsquo;ll be back. Any chance I get, I&rsquo;ll come to watch games and support the team. I&rsquo;ll always remain a Liverpool fan.&rdquo;</strong></em>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Despite lifting the Premier League trophy this season and serving as the club's vice-captain, Trent revealed that his decision was driven by personal growth rather than dissatisfaction. &ldquo;<em><strong>It&rsquo;s not about wanting to find something better,&rdquo;</strong></em> he explained. <em><strong>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s about me and my personal journey. People might not be happy with the decision, but it&rsquo;s something I feel I need to do for my career.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>

<p><strong>Legacy of a Local Hero</strong></p>
<p>Trent Alexander-Arnold has been a cornerstone of Liverpool FC since making his senior debut at just 18 years old. A product of the club&rsquo;s academy, which he joined at the age of six, Alexander-Arnold has grown into one of the most influential defenders of his generation.</p>
<p>Originally a midfielder, his transition to right-back allowed him to showcase exceptional creativity, contributing to 72 clean sheets and an impressive 82 goal involvements&mdash;18 goals and 64 assists&mdash;throughout his career.</p>
<p>Under J&uuml;rgen Klopp&rsquo;s leadership, Alexander-Arnold played a pivotal role in Liverpool's golden era, helping the club secure four major trophies in just 14 months, including the Premier League and UEFA Champions League titles.</p>
<p>In the 2019/20 season, he set a Premier League record for most assists by a defender in a single campaign, with 13. His leadership qualities were also evident when, in December 2020, he became the youngest player to captain Liverpool in European competition.</p>
<p>Today, a mural in Liverpool stands as a tribute to his remarkable journey&mdash;a local boy turned global football star whose legacy continues to grow.</p>

<p><strong>A City Covered in Gratitude</strong></p>
<p>In recent hours, the streets of Cairo have been adorned with banners honoring Koller. Red-clad billboards displayed messages like &ldquo;Three seasons, 11 trophies,&rdquo; paying tribute to a coach who revitalized the passion and pride of Al Ahly fans around the globe. Koller shared some of these tributes on his Instagram story, including a touching moment at a restaurant where staff left a handwritten note thanking him for everything he had done.</p>
<p><strong>A Presidential Farewell</strong></p>
<p>Captain Mahmoud El Khatib, Chairman of Al Ahly SC, hosted a farewell meeting with Koller and his coaching staff. He commended their dedication during a period filled with both triumph and challenge, assuring them that Egypt and Al Ahly would always be their second home. &ldquo;The club is a family,&rdquo; El Khatib emphasized. &ldquo;You&rsquo;ll always have a place in it.&rdquo;</p>

<p><strong>An Impressive Legacy</strong></p>
<p>The 64-year-old Swiss coach took charge at Al Ahly in September 2022, succeeding Portuguese manager Ricardo Soares. In less than two years, Koller led the team to an impressive 11 trophies, re-establishing Al Ahly&rsquo;s dominance both domestically and continentally. Despite the recent disappointment of exiting the CAF Champions League against South Africa&rsquo;s Mamelodi Sundowns, the prevailing sentiment among fans is one of pride, not frustration. To them, Koller was not just a coach; he was a symbol of discipline, leadership, and ambition. His emotional farewell message on social media further strengthened his bond with the fans, who made it clear: while he may be leaving, his legacy will remain etched in Al Ahly&rsquo;s history&mdash;and in the heart of Cairo.</p>

In this case, Venus and Saturn will serve as the "eyes," while the crescent Moon completes the joyful expression with a graceful "smile."</p>
<p>Set your alarms early on Friday, April 25, 2025, and find a spot with a clear view of the eastern horizon. This charming alignment promises not only a beautiful sight but also a moment of cosmic wonder for anyone fascinated by space and the mysteries above.</p>

Rare Celestial "Smiley Face" to Light Up Egypt’s Sky This Friday

<p>This surreal image of a runway suspended high above the city is actually AI-generated, but it raises a fascinating question: could sky-high catwalks be the norm in 10 years? With the rise of drone technology, immersive experiences, and gravity-defying restaurants (yes, we&rsquo;re looking at you, Dinner in the Sky), it&rsquo;s not that far-fetched.</p>
<p>The concept imagines a floating platform, complete with fashion editors, photographers, and front-row glitterati calmly seated mid-air while models strut their stuff on a narrow runway. The view? Just your average, jaw-dropping skyline.</p>
<p>Sure, it might be AI fantasy for now, but as technology and showmanship continue to collide, fashion shows are evolving into cinematic spectacles. First came digital collections, then the metaverse &mdash; and now? Maybe the sky&rsquo;s the limit... literally.</p>
<p><strong>Would you dare attend a fashion show floating hundreds of meters above the ground? Or will sky couture remain just a stylish dream? Either way, this concept has us hooked.</strong></p>

"Runway in the Sky?” This AI-Generated Fashion Show Might Just Be a Glimpse into the Future

<p>Bill Gates recently opened up about how much of his vast fortune his children will inherit after his death. During an appearance on the Figuring Out with Raj Shamani podcast, the Microsoft co-founder shared that his three children would receive only 1% of his wealth. Despite the small percentage, it will still amount to over a billion dollars.</p>
<p>&ldquo;My kids got a great upbringing and education, but they will receive less than 1 percent of the total wealth because I don&rsquo;t think it would be helpful to them,&rdquo; said Bill. He has three children&mdash;daughters Jennifer (28) and Phoebe (22), and son Rory (25)&mdash;with ex-wife Melinda French Gates.</p>
<p>Currently, Gates' net worth stands at $102.2 billion, according to Forbes' 2025 Billionaire List. His reasoning for not leaving them a larger inheritance? He doesn&rsquo;t want them to be burdened by his fortune. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m not expecting them to follow in my footsteps. I&rsquo;m not creating a dynasty,&rdquo; he added. "They should have their own chance to earn success without being overshadowed by my own."</p>
<p>While Bill Gates is committed to giving his children opportunities, he also explained his philosophy of wealth distribution. He&rsquo;s dedicated to giving the majority of his wealth to charity, particularly through the Gates Foundation. &ldquo;The highest purpose of my resources is to support the neediest, and I want my kids to understand that.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Gates, who has pledged to give away the majority of his fortune to address global social issues, has been donating approximately $9 billion a year. He also stated that he aims to no longer be one of the wealthiest individuals in the world within the next 20 years. &ldquo;I have more than enough money for my own consumption,&rdquo; Gates shared. &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll be proud when I&rsquo;m no longer on the list.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Earlier, Gates had emphasized his commitment to giving "virtually all" of his wealth to the Gates Foundation, which he co-founded with Melinda in 2000. "I feel an obligation to use my resources in ways that will have the most significant impact on reducing suffering and improving lives."</p>

<p>Alex Proyas, the director of the 2004 sci-fi film, "I, Robot" has claimed that Tesla and SpaceX CEO, Elon Musk is copying his designs from the movie.&nbsp;</p>
<p>These claims came after Musk unveiled&nbsp;Tesla's new Cybercab, which includes winged doors and no steering wheel or pedals, Musk also revealed a new look at&nbsp;Optimus robots.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/7Dlo-VB0-HI" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>After Tesla's event, Proyas took to X to voice his concerns about the similarities between "I, Robot" and "Tesla" designs, saying, "Hey Elon, can I have my designs back please".&nbsp;</p>
<p>The production designer of "I, Robot", Patrick Tatopoulos, also reposted an image comparing the designs from the film and Tesla's designs, and he captioned it with&nbsp;"Maybe it is just me? Or should I feel honored that Elon found some inspiration in my I ROBOT designs? Probably my imagination running wild. Well either way it&rsquo;s fun to watch".&nbsp;</p>

<p>Google announced that starting from the 1st of May, 2025, all AdSense, AdSense for YouTube, AdMob, and Ad Manager payouts in Egypt will be made in Egyptian Pounds instead of&nbsp;US Dollars.&nbsp;</p>
<p>This change&nbsp;is part of Google's initiative to transition all payments worldwide into local currencies.</p>
<p>On the 1st of April, a new payment account will be created for all AdSense, Adsense for YouTube, AdMob, and Ad Manager users, and they may need to link a bank account that accepts local currency to it.&nbsp;</p>
<p>It's worth mentioning that the old payment account in US Dollars will be deactivated in April 2025, however, users will still be able to access it from their payment page to view past activities.</p>

<p>Meta revealed improvements to its virtual reality headset and Ray-Ban smart glasses in an effort to showcase its artificial intelligence capabilities and the company&rsquo;s slew of new hardware products.</p>
<p>Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg also showcased Orion, Meta's first real AR glasses, which he called &ldquo;the most advanced glasses the world has ever seen&rdquo;.</p>
<p><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/PGuAKyBJ8E8" width="560" height="314" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe>&nbsp;</p>
<p>The smart glasses can project digital representations of media, people, games, and communications onto the real world, as the user can control Orion with his voice, or hand gestures.</p>
<p>Orion is not yet scheduled for release, but according to Zuckerberg, it will ultimately be the "first consumer full holographic AR glasses" from Meta.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The creator of the well-known card game Cards Against Humanity is suing Elon Musk's SpaceX&nbsp;for $15m, over claims of damaging and trespassing on land owned by his company in Texas.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The card game creator filed a lawsuit in Texas court claiming that SpaceX has been using the company's land as its own for at least the last six months.&nbsp;</p>
<p>According to the lawsuit, SpaceX, which had already purchased other nearby lands, had placed building materials such as gravel, and other debris on the property without obtaining authorization.</p>
<p>it's worth mentioning that Cards Against Humanity purchased the land mentioned in the lawsuit back in 2017&nbsp;as part of a stunt to prevent President Donald Trump's border wall from being built in the area, and the company said that they purchased the land after 150,000 subscribers had each contributed $15 towards the Cards Against Humanity Saves America campaign.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Following the whirlwind events of Season 4, our favorite fashion-forward expat, Emily Cooper (played by Lily Collins), is back for a fifth season, and this time she&rsquo;s trading croissants for cappuccinos. That&rsquo;s right&mdash;Emily&rsquo;s next chapter will unfold not only in Paris but in Rome.</p>
<p><strong>A Quick Recap: Where We Left Off</strong></p>
<p>Season 4 wrapped up with Emily stepping into new territory&mdash;personally and professionally. She&rsquo;s now spearheading the Rome branch of Agence Grateau, settling into an Italian apartment, and getting closer to her newest romantic interest, Marcello Muratori (Eugenio Franceschini). Meanwhile, Gabriel is hot on her heels, having finally decided to fight for her, but it may be too late.</p>
<p>Also making big moves: Mindy is headed to Shanghai, Camille is preparing for motherhood on her own terms, and Alfie is presumably nursing yet another broken heart.</p>
<p><strong>Production Is Officially Underway</strong></p>
<p>It had been confirmed that filming for Season 5 begun in Rome. A first look from set shows Emily embracing Italian glam&mdash;&rsquo;70s-inspired patterns, big sunglasses, and of course, a Vespa. So far, scenes have been spotted at some iconic Roman landmarks, including the Fendi flagship.</p>

Lily Collins herself announced the renewal back in September 2024 with a cheeky cappuccino cameo, confirming that a new era for Emily had officially begun.</p>

<p><strong>Cast Updates: One Out, One In</strong></p>
<p>While the core ensemble is mostly returning&mdash;Collins, Ashley Park (Mindy), Lucas Bravo (Gabriel), and Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu (Sylvie)&mdash;fans will notice a major absence. Camille Razat, who played Camille, announced her exit in April. She described the decision as bittersweet but necessary, sharing that she&rsquo;s launching her own production company and wrapping up work on two upcoming shows.</p>
<p>Her character&rsquo;s storyline has reached a natural conclusion, according to Razat, though she didn&rsquo;t rule out the possibility of a future cameo. For now, Camille bows out with grace.</p>
<p>On the other hand, newcomer Eugenio Franceschini, playing the suave Marcello, appears to be stepping into a leading man role. Whether he&rsquo;s just a fling or something more serious remains to be seen.</p>
<p><strong>Plot Expectations: Love Triangles, Again?</strong></p>
<p>Season 5 promises to explore Emily&rsquo;s new relationship with Marcello, who offers a kind of balance she hasn&rsquo;t had before. According to Collins, this new romance gives Emily a chance to be happy without strings attached&mdash;for now.</p>
<p>But don&rsquo;t count Gabriel out. After four seasons of almosts and what-ifs, he&rsquo;s decided to make a move. That decision might come too late, though, as Emily begins carving out a life that doesn&rsquo;t revolve around him.</p>
<p>As always, don&rsquo;t expect things to stay simple for long. Darren Star has hinted at more complications, more fashion, and more moments that will get fans talking&mdash;whether in admiration or outrage.</p>
<p><strong>When Is Season 5 Dropping?</strong></p>
<p>No release date has been set yet, but with production already underway, a mid-to-late 2026 debut seems likely.</p>
<p><strong>Trailer Status</strong></p>
<p>There&rsquo;s no trailer just yet. But if history is any indication, until then, fans can revisit Season 4&rsquo;s drama-filled split release, which dominated the Global Top 10 series when it premiered in August 2024.</p>

<p>Adam Levine is opening up about the inspiration behind his latest track, &ldquo;Priceless,&rdquo; and it turns out, it&rsquo;s all about love.</p>
<p>In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE magazine, the Maroon 5 frontman revealed that the song, a collaboration with BLACKPINK&rsquo;s Lisa, is dedicated to his wife, model Behati Prinsloo.</p>
<p><em><strong>&ldquo;It was the first song that I wrote for the album,&rdquo;</strong></em> Levine shares.<em><strong> &ldquo;It&rsquo;s just this really fun, summery, chill vibe that always felt really good. The song, being about my wife, was the first one that felt right, uplifting, positive, and full of joy. It just instantly hit me.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>
<p>He added,<em><strong> &ldquo;I thought, well, if it instantly hit me, maybe it could hit everybody else too.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>
<p>Levine also praised his collaboration with Lisa, calling her the perfect addition to the track.</p>
<p><em><strong>&ldquo;Lisa coming on the song literally elevated it even more, which is amazing,&rdquo;</strong></em> he says. <em><strong>&ldquo;It kind of needed something extra, and she was the perfect something extra at the perfect moment.&rdquo;</strong></em></p>
<p>Levine, 46, and Prinsloo, 36, have been married since 2014 and share three children: Dusty Rose (8), Gio Grace (7), and a baby boy born in 2023. Prinsloo has made appearances in several of Maroon 5&rsquo;s music videos, including hits like &ldquo;Animals&rdquo; and &ldquo;Girls Like You.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Levine often speaks openly about his love for her, describing their bond as a source of constant inspiration.</p>
<p>The full album featuring &ldquo;Priceless&rdquo; is set to drop in Summer 2025, though the official title and release date are still under wraps.</p>

<p>Tom Cruise, the enduring force behind Mission: Impossible, is gearing up for his next high-stakes mission&mdash;The Final Reckoning Part 2&mdash;set to screen on 23rd May. As always, he&rsquo;s keeping fans on edge with teasers and behind-the-scenes clips, but it&rsquo;s not just the action that has people talking&mdash;it&rsquo;s how Cruise continues to defy age and gravity, both on screen and off.</p>
<p>&nbsp;<iframe title="Mission: Impossible &ndash; The Final Reckoning | Official Trailer (2025 Movie) - Tom Cruise" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/fsQgc9pCyDU" width="843" height="474" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p>In a recent interview with Entertainment Tonight, the 61-year-old action icon opened up about what keeps him in top shape. &ldquo;I look at a body kind of like a car,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;I work seven days a week&hellip; it&rsquo;s like brushing my teeth.&rdquo; It&rsquo;s a no-excuses mindset, and one Cruise has clearly mastered.</p>
<p>Taking care of his body, he stressed, is non-negotiable. &ldquo;I have to take care of it&hellip; that&rsquo;s how I train my body&hellip; you gotta do it.&rdquo; That discipline shows. Whether he&rsquo;s hanging from cliffs or jumping out of planes, Cruise still brings the same intensity to every frame.</p>
<p>But when he&rsquo;s not risking it all for the camera, Cruise isn&rsquo;t exactly taking it easy. He spoke passionately about the adrenaline-fueled hobbies that give him just as much joy as filmmaking: &ldquo;Flying, acrobatic airplanes and jets, paragliding, speed flying, jumping off mountains.&rdquo; For most people, those are bucket list items. For Cruise, that&rsquo;s just another weekend.</p>
<p>And he&rsquo;s far from slowing down. &ldquo;I live on movie sets and editing rooms, that&rsquo;s been my life,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Another movie&mdash;I have four other movies, the queue and I are lining up&hellip; we&rsquo;re lining up the next movie.&rdquo;</p>
<p>For Cruise, staying in motion&mdash;literally and figuratively&mdash;isn&rsquo;t a choice, it&rsquo;s who he is. And with The Final Reckoning Part 2 looming, one thing is clear: the mission, and the man behind it, are nowhere near finished</p>
