On Thursday, the chief of the district police department that looked into South Korean star Lee Sun-kyun’s alleged use of illegal drugs justified the rigorous interrogation of the actor prior to his death.

Chief of the Incheon Metropolitan Police Kim Hui-jung stated at a press conference that Lee’s approval was obtained for the entire procedure. He sent his family his sympathies and conveyed his “deep regret” over his passing.

Lee, 48, passed away on Wednesday. He portrayed the affluent patriarch in the Oscar-winning movie “Parasite.“

Following his passing, the public and the film industry expressed their condolences, but there were also concerns about the probe’s perceived harshness and public character, which fueled media coverage that delved into Lee’s personal life.

Kim claimed that Lee’s lawyer was present during the three appearances he was questioned about, which included an all-night interrogation session to get his side of the story.

“The investigation of the deceased was conducted based on specific reports, testimony and evidence and under legally prescribed procedures,” he stated.

Prior to his passing, local news sources reported that Lee had denied knowing he took illegal substances and claimed he was duped into doing so by a bar hostess who was attempting to blackmail him.

Since October, he has appeared before police three times in front of large crowds; the most recent appearance took place over the course of 19 hours on Christmas Eve.

He said he was completely participating with the investigation but declined to respond to queries from reporters regarding the charges against him.

He was reported missing and later discovered dead in a car in a Seoul park.

One of the people who criticized police tactics and the dramatic media coverage of the case was former South Korean President Moon Jae-in, who practiced human rights law before joining politics.

“The practice that does huge damage to someone’s honour and character, such as excessively putting them at a media photoline, and pushes them to take the extreme choice must now end,” Moon wrote on her Facebook page.

Colleagues in the film business, such as Bong Joon-ho (director of “Parasite”) and Lee Jung-jae (actor of the Netflix series “Squid Game”), paid homage to Lee at his wake.

K-pop singer G-Dragon was previously questioned by Incheon police on suspicion of using illegal drugs, but the matter was dismissed before he was charged.

The investigation is a part of President Yoon Suk Yeol’s crackdown, which he has referred to as a “war on drugs.”

The nation’s strict drug laws, which punish anyone found guilty of both drug abuse and drug dealing with up to 14 years in prison, have resulted in a number of high-profile arrests, including celebrities and the heirs of business conglomerates.

Today (Friday) is recognized as the 37th anniversary of the passing of the well-known Pakistani classical singer Ustad Chhote Ghulam Ali Khan.

He has a long history of affiliation with the Lahore Arts Council.

This year, Meghan Markle suffered a number of financial setbacks as a result of the June 2023 failure of the Spotify arrangement.

The upcoming year also seems a little dismal, following a turbulent year for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in terms of their personal and professional lives.

The 37-year-old therapist and astrologer Nicolas Aujula has made some predictions for 2024. He is credited with foreseeing the Covid outbreak, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the Sussexes’ Oprah interview.

The psychic revealed to The Mirror that although Meghan will “have an element of heartache with someone else close to her,” the relationship between the former Suits star and Harry looks to be going well in the upcoming year.

Nicolas foresaw, among other things, that certain female superstars would experience a financial downturn while others would not. After the uproar from her Spotify deal and the rejection from Dior, it’s unclear if Meghan would have any better options.

The forecast was made in response to rumors that Meghan would be called upon to testify in court on the drama surrounding the “racist royal.“

Samantha, Prince Harry’s half-sister, launched a defamation case against Meghan for portraying her as a “liar for profit and fame” in the 2021 interview. Samantha will testify against her husband in November 2024.

“It is necessary to investigate the issue of royal racists,” Samantha’s attorney Peter Tickin stated to The Sun. “She turned against her family and abandoned them for reasons,”

Alan Ritchson arrived in Los Angeles, a city full of ambitious artists and magnificent buildings, determined to pursue his dream of becoming a singer.

Hollywood, however, had other plans for his career.

The forty-one-year-old actor wasn’t the most popular child among his pals when he was growing up in Niceville, Florida. In reality, as he revealed to the Wall Street Journal in a recent profile, Ritchson experienced a good deal of bullying because he was a late bloomer. The Reacher star had little to no social life, but by the time he graduated from high school, he was a straight-A student with college scholarships secured.

At the recommendation of a couple, Ritchson tried a period in modeling as he grew older and was still getting used to his muscular build, but he “didn’t find [it] satisfying.”

The actor recounted how he auditioned for the third season of the singing competition show in 2003, saying, “And then came American Idol.

But as luck would have it, the Fast X actor was eliminated from consideration for the city’s second round of tryouts, so he decided to give acting another shot.

The actor is enjoying great success in both his personal and professional lives. 2006 saw Ritchson tie the knot with his high school sweetheart, with whom he has three sons.

After revealing his casting in The Butcher, a “cheap horror film,” two years later, Ritchson went on to play the part of DC character Aquaman in the five-year television series Smallville.

The largest investment in Israel’s history, according to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, is expected to be a $25 billion chip manufacturing facility to be built in the country’s south, as announced by the Israeli government on Tuesday.

Over the past 50 years, the US computer behemoth has invested over $50 billion in Israel and currently employs 11,700 people there.

According to Reuters, despite the October 7 strikes and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, Intel now intends to expand its current chip manufacturing facility at Kiryat Gat, which is located roughly 16 miles northeast of Gaza.

Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated on X on Tuesday that Intel had decided to sanction a historic $25 billion investment and to locate its new factory in Israel.

“This investment will significantly contribute to the growth of the Israeli economy and will foster high-quality employment opportunities with elevated productivity in remote areas,” he continued.

In June, Netanyahu made the first announcement about the new factory, calling it “the largest investment by an international company in Israel.”

At the time, Intel (INTC) merely stated that intentions to expand its operations in Israel were motivated by a promise to meet future manufacturing needs, without confirming the new investment.

According to Reuters, the business verified the investment intentions on Tuesday. CNN contacted Intel for comment, but Intel did not respond.

In an effort to reclaim its top spot in the semiconductor market and strengthen supply chains’ resistance to escalating geopolitical unrest, Intel is making significant investments. In 2022, it announced plans to invest up to $90 billion in new European factories and $20 billion to construct two new chip manufacturing sites in the United States.

According to Israeli media, the Kiryat Gat facility will expand with a $3.2 billion subsidy from the Israeli government, which will be distributed over a number of years.

According to Israeli media, the Kiryat Gat facility will expand with a $3.2 billion subsidy from the Israeli government, which will be distributed over a number of years.

According to the news agency, a large number of the buildings had already been finished and preparations for the site’s development were already underway.

The new plant is scheduled to begin operations in 2028 and run until 2035.

The company has four development and production sites in Israel, including Kiryat Gat, the most sophisticated manufacturing facility owned by Intel.

Prior to going public a little more than a year ago, Intel also paid $15.3 billion to acquire Israeli driver assistance technology startup Mobileye in 2017.

It announced plans to purchase Israeli chipmaker Tower Semiconductor for $5.4 billion in February 2022, but the deal was canceled earlier this year due to the inability to secure the necessary regulatory permissions. The deal purportedly fell through due to the lack of approval from China’s antitrust authorities.

The time for a last-minute, urgent move to keep the newest Apple Watch on store shelves is running out.

The US International Trade Commission has ruled that Apple cannot sell the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, among other more recent models, because they infringe upon patents held by another company. President Joe Biden has until the end of Christmas Day to reverse this decision. But it doesn’t seem plausible that he will step in.

Apple has consistently promoted its smartwatch as a life-saving tool, which has helped propel the device into the stratosphere and make it the most widely-sold watch globally. However, its conflict with Masimo puts that in jeopardy.

In preparation for the verdict, Apple decided to start proactively removing the Series 9 and Ultra 2 models of the Apple Watch from stock on December 18. The 60-day window for reviewing the ITC’s decision closes on Monday if Biden doesn’t step in.

At the time, the business released a statement stating, “Apple strongly disagrees with the order and is pursuing a range of legal and technical options to ensure that Apple Watch is available to customers.” However, Apple (AAPL) also promised to “take all necessary steps” to quickly restore the Apple Watch to US consumers.

In order to avoid infringing on Masimo’s patent, the business might be able to make software adjustments, such as altering how the Watch communicates with the pulse oximeter. However, it might take some time for this to happen, and there’s no assurance that the ITC will approve Apple’s suggested remedy.

After President Joe Biden failed to issue a last-minute emergency order to keep the best-selling smartwatch on store shelves, the time is running out on the newest Apple Watch.

A US International Trade Commission decision that forbids Apple from selling the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2, among other more recent models, because they infringe upon patents held by another company, must be overturned by President Joe Biden by the end of Christmas Day. But Biden did not step in, as was to be expected.

Apple’s online store had already taken down the offending Watch models, and when Apple stores reopened on Tuesday, they were empty of the priciest, newest versions. Although the cheaper Apple Watch SE—which was excluded from the ruling—is still obtainable, the restriction is limited to Apple Watch Series 6 and later models, as well as all Apple Watch Ultra variations.

The US International Trade Commission declared in October that Apple had violated a patent pertaining to a pulse oximeter, a device that measures blood oxygen levels using light-based technology. Masimo is the patent holder. Masimo makes medical devices.

Other companies are still selling the Apple Watches that they have left in-store and online, including Amazon and Best Buy. However, Apple is not allowed to import more smartwatches into the US as a result of the ITC order.

There is some precedent for a president to reverse the ITC, even though Biden did not intervene. President Barack Obama overruled an ITC decision in 2013 that would have banned older models of iPhones and iPads after the agency found that Apple had violated a patent owned by Samsung.

Actor Armeena Khan of Pakistan’s entertainment business recently posted an insightful statement on her Instagram Stories.

In her address, she acknowledged her previous uneven performance in prayer and gave specifics about how her spiritual path has changed.

Be after her father passed away, motivated by his advice, she sincerely stated that she would try harder to remember to pray.

She wrote, “I must admit, I wasn’t very good with my Salat but after my father’s passed and upon his advice, I’m trying not to miss anything.” Khan also shared a thought-provoking quote she just came across that had a big impact on her.

She did not, however, hesitate to clarify that her intention was to share her own spiritual development rather than to force her religious beliefs on others.

She proactively clarified, “I’m not preaching, in case you’re thinking, ‘Oh here’s another actress, shoving religion down our throats,'” clearing up any potential misperception. To be honest, I’m not.

The actor continued, saying, “I just want to share things with my well-wishers since I am pleased about my spiritual journey. It is not my desire to come off as flawed, but Allah SWT is aware of how imperfect I am, so please pardon me if I do.“

Her candid disclosure and compassionate introspection on her spiritual journey reveal a real and authentic effort to establish a connection with her followers and share her excitement for living a life that is more spiritually fulfilling.
