On Monday, she surprised fans when she revealed her upcoming world tour to support her latest album.

“Barbzzz!! It’s time for the #GagCity Tour. So excited to see you guys!” she wrote in her announcement.

Pm Modi’s ‘Money Heist’ Dig At Congress Over It Raids Stars Rahul Gandhi As Denver! (Picture Credit: Facebook & IMDb)

One thing about Prime Minister Narendra Modi is that he knows how to keep up with popular culture. Just recently, Pm Modi took a dig at the leading opposition party, Congress, with a ‘Money Heist’ reference, and Ngl, it’s the coolest thing on the internet today.

Taking to his official X (formerly known as Twitter) handle on Tuesday, Pm Modi took a swipe at Congress over the record cash haul during tax raids at properties related to Odisha MP, Dheeraj Sahu. For those who may not be aware, the Income Tax Department seized around ₹350 crore of ‘black money’ and about 3 kg of gold ornaments during a series of raids on distilleries in Odisha, which is said to be the largest amount ever recovered by any agency during a single investigation in India.

50 Cent, welcome to Gag City. On Monday night, Nicki Minaj released a new rendition of “Beep Beep” from her new album Pink Friday 2 — but this time with a verse from 50.

“I’m different shit, I’m with the shit, I’m nineties grimy/I should spend that shit and then they spin that shit,” raps 50 in his verse, before dropping, “A lil’ bread with me, you can’t hide behind money/Got a lot of this shit, I ain’t runnin’ out of this shit.”

Even though we met in London and fell in love on a film set, to get married at a camp was a truly beautiful emotional homecoming."

Of their wedding weekend, Feldstein said, "On Friday night, we wanted to take our guests on a true camp experience with bandana tablecloths and s'mores for dessert, with pennant banners and friendship bracelets: a true 'We're at summer camp' feeling." She added: "Then, we really wanted to surprise...
