Published

on

This Saturday, August 9, Zabeel Hall 6 at Dubai World Trade Centre is turning up the heat — indoors. Dubai is set to host its first-ever Afro Indoor Summer Festival, a bold, colorful celebration of African culture, creativity, and community. It’s a fresh experience, one the city hasn’t seen before.

“Dubai is known for its mix of cultures, but this time, Africa’s the one in the spotlight. And this isn’t some event, it’s totally different. The music, the energy, the food, the people, it’s Africa showing up and showing off, in the best way.”

What makes this one different? It’s not a one-note concert or a pop-up market. It’s a full-scale, all-day celebration of African identity open to everyone, indoors, and built for summer. You walk in,and boom, it hits you. The music, the people, the energy, it’s like stepping right into the heart of the African culture.

Here’s what’s going down:

Afrobeat artists lighting up the stage, DJs spinning tracks that’ll move your whole body, dance crews bringing fire with every step. Style & Fashion showcases featuring African designers and brands.  An Afro Bazaar, packed with handmade goods, accessories, and beauty products from across the continent. A vibrant food zone, serving jollof, suya, injera, samosas, the real flavors of Africa. Cultural corners and panel talks exploring entrepreneurship, identity, and African innovation. And yes, it’s family-friendly. Kids’ areas, seating zones, and something for every age group are part of the plan.

Not Just for Africans — For Everyone

Whether you are an Arab, African, Latino, Asian, or European, you’re welcome here. The organizers are focused on community, not exclusivity. You don’t need to know the music or speak a certain language. show up, be open, and take it all in. Beyond the entertainment, this festival is about visibility. For Africans living in Dubai, it’s a piece of home. For others, it’s a doorway into a rich culture that’s often celebrated globally, but not always locally. Expect authenticity. Expect energy. Expect a crowd that feels like family, even if you walk in alone.T

Why Kourtney Kardashian didn’t Include Scott Disick in Her Father’s Day Tribute

Kourtney Kardashian Barker’s Father’s Day post for husband Travis Barker drew attention online, not for what it included, but for who was left out.

The reality star celebrated the holiday with a series of Instagram photos of Barker and their son, Rocky, captioning the carousel “baby daddy .” The tribute focused squarely on her husband and their current family life, prompting fans to question the absence of Scott Disick, father to her three older children.

According to People, those close to the family says the omission wasn’t intended as a slight.

“Kourtney did not mean to disrespect Scott with her Father’s Day post,” a source told People. “Kourt and Travis are such a strong family unit now, it just felt right to pay tribute to Travis.”

Kourtney and Disick share Mason, Penelope, and Reign, and have spent years co-parenting since they separated. Despite not being mentioned, Disick reportedly took no offense. The source added that he respects Kourtney and Travis’ relationship and values the stable environment they’ve built for their blended family. The children have also grown close to Rocky, born in November 2023.

The approach marks a shift from last year. For Father’s Day 2025, Kourtney’s message acknowledged the full blended family, including Barker’s son Landon, daughter Alabama, and stepdaughter Atiana.

Khloé Kardashian Opens Up About Her Cosmetic Enhancements and Injectables

After nearly two decades in the spotlight, Khloé Kardashian is embracing a more open approach to conversations about cosmetic procedures.

The Kardashians star addressed her cosmetic procedures in a People interview published June 18, explaining why she decided to list them publicly last year. The choice came after years of speculation and online commentary about her appearance.

“This gentleman was dictating all these things that I did,” said Khloé, 41, referencing social media claims. “If I did, I would totally say that. I don’t have a problem with it.”

But setting the record straight mattered. “I also want people to know, not that anyone thinks this is all natural, but it’s not,” she added. “There is maintenance involved. I’ve been in the public eye since I was 21. Age has something to do with it, weight loss for sure. But yes, I’ve had enhancements. I’ve had my nose done. I love any sort of laser or injectable.”

Khloé, mom to daughter True and son Tatum with ex Tristan Thompson, said she’s currently focused on non-invasive treatments. While she isn’t ruling out a facelift in the future, like mom Kris Jenner, she prefers lasers and injectables for now. “Before I need to get my face surgically done, I’m going to do all the lasers and injectables or whatever that I can,” she said.

She previously confirmed receiving Botox, Sculptra injections, Sofwave laser treatments, a nose job, and collagen threads under her chin and neck. She also shares beauty tips with sister Kim Kardashian, swapping recommendations on new treatments. “We’ll go down these rabbit holes,” Khloé said. “I’ll see a stretch mark laser commercial and send it to her. We’re like, ‘We need that.’”

Still, Khloé told People that her sense of beauty comes from time at home. “It sounds so corny, but I do feel most beautiful with my kids,” she said. “Hearing little giggles, having silly dance parties, just rolling on the floor. That’s what I’ve learned is the most beautiful to me.”

Khloé joins a growing list of celebrities who’ve spoken openly about their cosmetic work, including Julia Fox, Ariana Grande, Martha Stewart, and Selena Gomez.

Anne Hathaway is expecting her third child with husband Adam Shulman. The actor confirmed the pregnancy on Instagram on Friday, June 19, through a short video set to “Baby I’m Yours” by Barbara Lewis.

The announcement followed weeks of speculation after Hathaway was photographed on vacation in Saint-Tropez, her stomach visible beneath a series of breezy maxi dresses and cover-ups. She was also photographed in a bikini and later in one of her signature wetsuits, with her growing baby bump clearly visible.

Hathaway and Shulman, who married in 2012, already share two sons: Jonathan and Jack, both of whom the couple have raised largely away from public attention.

This is not the first time Hathaway has used an Instagram announcement to speak honestly about the road to pregnancy. In 2019, confirming her second, she wrote: “It’s not for a movie… #2,” before adding: “All kidding aside, for everyone going through infertility and conception hell, please know it was not a straight line to either of my pregnancies. Sending you extra love.”

The announcement comes as Hathaway continues an active period in her career, with several notable roles lined up. She recently reprised her role as Andy Sachs in the long-awaited sequel to “The Devil Wears Prada,” and starred in A24’s “Mother Mary,” a musical psychodrama in which she plays a pop star unraveling at the height of her fame.

Looking ahead, Hathaway will star as Penelope in Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” as well as in the dystopian thriller The End of Oak Street and the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s Verity.
