    Photo: FileKARACHI: Global credit rating agency Fitch Ratings on Monday affirmed Pakistan’s long term foreign currency rating at B- with a stable outlook, saying the country has taken positive steps on fiscal front as well as measures to strengthen external finance, reported The News.
    “Progress is being made towards strengthening external finances and positive steps have been made on the fiscal front, but considerable risks remain,” the New York-based rating agency said. 
    Fitch said external vulnerabilities have been reduced over the past year as a result of policy actions and financing unlocked through an International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme, which have narrowed the current account deficit and supported a modest rebuilding of reserves.

    “Still, external finances remain fragile with relatively low foreign-exchange reserves in the context of an elevated external debt repayment schedule and subdued export performance,” it noted. 
    The IMF’s Extended Fund Facility is on track, with the first review completed in December. However, implementation risks remain high in Fitch’s view, particularly given the politically challenging nature of the authorities’ reform agenda. 
    Fitch forecasts a further narrowing of the current account deficit to 2.1 per cent of GDP in the year ending June 2020 (FY20) and 1.9 per cent in FY21, from 4.9 per cent in the last fiscal year.

    It held import compression as the driver narrowing deficit, facilitated by rupee depreciation of around 30 per cent since December 2017 and tighter monetary conditions. Exports were forecast to grow modestly from a low base.
    The State Bank of Pakistan's (SBP) adoption of a more flexible exchange rate last May and capital inflows were also supporting a rebuilding of foreign-exchange reserves. Fitch expects gross liquid foreign-exchange reserves to rise to around $11.5 billion by FYE20, from $7.2 billion at FYE19.
    “We expect continued adherence to the new exchange rate regime to help rebuild foreign-exchange reserves and improve external resilience,” Fitch said. “Public finances are a key credit weakness and deteriorated further in FY19 prior to the approval of the IMF programme,” it noted.

    The agency said gross external financing needs of the country would likely remain high, in the mid-$20 billion range, over the medium-term due to considerable debt repayments and despite smaller current account deficit. 
    Fitch said government debt rose to 84.8 per cent of GDP, well above the current ‘B’ median of 54 per cent, due to currency depreciation. Debt/revenue also jumped sharply to 667 per cent, compared with the historic ‘B’ median of 252 per cent. 
    The government was consolidating public finances, but Fitch believes progress would be challenging due to the relatively high reliance on revenues to achieve the planned adjustment.

    Kareena Kapoor irked by fan pestering her for selfiesKareena Kapoor, Saif Ali Khan and Taimur Ali Khan have a colossal fan base comprising several hyped up fans.
    And while the super famous trio entertain to the requests of fans more often than not, the hyped up devotees do tend to cross the line quite frequently which results in the A-listers getting infuriated.
    Addressing one such incident, a reporter for the Deccan Chronicle spoke about a female fan, who after getting a selfie urged for more upon her dissatisfaction with the first one.
    “That lady came in for a picture. Then she again stopped Kareena for another picture. Now Kareena had been stopped twice for selfies. It is not that that lady was taking pictures when Kareena was on the move but had to be stopped. So, when she stopped Kareena for the third time, it wasn’t just Kareena but everyone around her who got upset with the fan and asked her to vamoose,” he said.

    Photo: FileThe Sindh government on Monday decided to establish a separate authority to develop a master plan for the urban areas and other regions in the province, reported The News.

    The bill would now be presented by the Sindh local government secretary in a meeting of the Sindh cabinet. Once passed, the law would separate the master plan department from the Sindh Building Control Authority (SBCA).
    Karachi Commissioner Iftikhar Shallwani informed the meeting that buildings were being constructed illegally in old areas of the city. He said that people had been constructing up to five-storey buildings in the metropolis.  
    He further told the participants of the meeting that the construction of illegal buildings was yet to be stopped despite a recent incident of a building collapse in Timber Market, leaving the residents without a shelter.

    Separately, the SBCA director general told the meeting that the building in question in Timber Market area had been declared unsafe for living prior to the incident, however, the occupants had refused to vacate it.
    He said the old areas of the city still had 382 dangerous buildings and advertisements had been published in newspapers to make people aware of the issue.
    The Sindh chief secretary then asked the relevant officials to take due lawful action against the builders responsible for the construction of unsafe buildings in the city.
    Building collapses in Karachi's Ranchor LineLast month a six-storey building in the metropolis' Ranchore Lane area collapsed after it started leaning sideways before crumbling to dust.
    The building, which was constructed 12 years ago and housed 25 flats as well as a couple of warehouses, was reportedly illegal as only its first floor had been approved in the original 1987 architectural plan.
    Officials present at the site opined that substandard material was used in the construction, which led to the building's decrepit state and eventual collapse. The building had also experienced a fire in the past, as per its residents, and repair work had been done prior to that.

    Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari speaks about Kangana Ranaut and her composure in 'Panga'. Photo: The Indian ExpressAshwiny Iyer Tiwari recently opened up about her decision to choose Kangana Ranaut for her upcoming sports movie, Panga.
    Ashwiny recently revealed that Kangana Ranaut was in fact her very first choice when it came to playing the role of a retired sports player in Panga.
    In an attempt to reach the actress, Ashwiny sent Kangana a list of her films, and upon receiving the list, Kangana called the film maker, stating, “You need not update me on the work you have done, I know about you.”

    She was quoted saying, “If at all we have any misunderstanding, we (had decided that we) shall clarify it.”

    KUALA LUMPUR: Despite expressing concern about India’s new curbs on imports of palm oil, Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad reiterated on Tuesday, that he would continue to speak out against “wrong things” even if it costs his country financially.
    India, the world’s biggest buyer of edible oils, last week changed rules that traders say effectively ban imports of refined palm oil from Malaysia, the world’s second-biggest producer and exporter of palm oil after Indonesia.
    The move came after New Delhi objected to Mahathir’s criticism of India’s new religion-based citizenship law. The 94-year-old premier, whose outspoken nature has soured ties with both India and Saudi Arabia in recent months, earlier accused India of invading the disputed Muslim-majority region of Kashmir.
    As Malaysian palm refiners stare at a massive loss of business, Mahathir said his government would find a solution.

    “We are concerned of course because we sell a lot of palm oil to India, but on the other hand we need to be frank and see that if something goes wrong, we will have to say it,” he told reporters. “If we allow things to go wrong and think only about the money involved, then I think a lot of wrong things will be done, by us and by other people.”
    The benchmark palm oil contract for March delivery was down 0.9% in afternoon trade.
    Reuters reported on Monday the Indian government had informally instructed traders to stay away from Malaysian palm oil. Indian traders are instead buying Indonesian crude palm oil at a premium of $10 tonne over Malaysian prices.
    India’s foreign ministry said on Thursday the palm curbs were not country specific but that “for any commercial trading, the status of relationship between any two countries” is something a business would consider.
    India was Malaysia’s biggest buyer of palm oil in 2019, with 4.4 million tonnes of purchases. In 2020, purchases could fall below 1 million tonnes if relations don’t improve, Indian traders say.

    To make up for the potential loss, Malaysian officials say they are trying to sell more to Pakistan, the Philippines, Myanmar, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Algeria and Jordan.
    But replacing the top buyer won’t be easy, and that’s why the Malaysian Trades Union Congress, whose members include palm workers, has urged the two countries to talk things out.
    “We wish to implore upon both governments to use all possible diplomatic channels to resolve this issue putting aside any personal or diplomatic ego,” it said in a statement.
    Malaysia’s Primary Industries Ministry, supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, is engaging with its Indian counterparts to try and sort out the issue, according to a Malaysian government source aware of the discussions. He declined to be named as he was not authorised to speak to the media.
    The ministries could not immediately be reached for comment.

    The much awaited film Tanhaji hit the screens on January 10. Directed and co-written by Om Raut, Tanhaji is an adaptation of the lore of the Battle of Sinhagad in 1670 between the Maratha King Shivaji and the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. 
    Besides doing extremely well at the box office, if there's one thing that people can't stop talking about, it's the multiple beard styles seen on-screen in the film. 
    And here's the best part, you can actually get them from your local salon if you just take a picture reference. (Chances are, your barber has seen the film too which means you can get the exact look.)
    1. Pornstache © Ajay Devgn FFilms
    Ajay Devgn's character as Tanhaji can be seen in a pornstache or otherwise known as a weighted moustache.  Although the pornstar moustache has different variations, the most popular one can be defined as a thick, heavy moustache with slightly elongated ends and no accompanying facial hair. A similar version can also be seen on Ajay Devgn. 
    2. Short Boxed Beard © Ajay Devgn FFilms
    Uday Bhan played by Saif Ali Khan can be seen sporting short boxed beard. Now, here's the thing. A short boxed beard can be defined as a short moustache with a medium length beard as can be seen on Saif. The beard is fuller and covers relatively more surface on the face as can be seen.
    3. Handlebar Moustache with Beard © Ajay Devgn FFilms
    Sharad Kelkar's character in Tanhaji can be seen in a visibly defined handlebar 'stache. But the look has been given a twist with an additional beard. If you think that a handlebar on its own is over the top, adding a beard to the picture can be a gamechanger.
    4. The Weighted Beard © Ajay Devgn FFilms
    Aurangzeb played by Luke Kenny sported a weighted beard which is characterised with a relatively fuller beard with a fine moustache. This beard is the polar opposite of a weighted moustache where the emphasis is on the 'stache.

    Looks like giving expensive gifts to each other is the latest trend in Bollywood. Either that or our Bollywood celebs are low-key increasing the sale of BMW.  
    Recently, Bollywood's 'Dabangg' Khan, Salman Khan, gifted a Rs 1.55 crore BMW M5 to his co-star Kichcha Sudeep. Now, actor John Abraham has surprised his friend, fellow bike enthusiast and Pagalpanti co-star Arshad Warsi, with a BMW F750GS.
    Everyone knows that actor John Abraham loves bikes. What people may not know is that he loves his friends equally or more than he loves bikes. And Arshad Warsi can vouch for the same. Reportedly, John had earlier sent a picture of BMW F750GS that is worth Rs. 12 lakh to Arshad and asked him whether he liked it. He thought John wanted his suggestion on the bike.

    — Arshad Warsi (@ArshadWarsi) January 12, 2020 Obviously, you don't expect your friends to randomly send you a picture of a bike because they want to give it to you! Apparently, John Abraham did exactly that. Although Arshad said not to give him the bike, he sent it over anyway.
    Arshad, who is a proud owner of a Ducati and an Indian scout, took to Twitter to thank John and wrote "Thank you @TheJohnAbraham for the Beamer. I bless you every time I take it for a ride. Love you buddy..."

    — Arshad Warsi (@ArshadWarsi) January 12, 2020 In fact, it was John who has earlier changed Arshad's wife Maria Goretti's mind about biking.
    On the work front, John Abraham is now gearin up for his upcoming film Mumbai Saga, the first look of which was dropped on social media today. Director Sanjay Gupta shared its first look and wrote, "One of my favourite moments from Mumbai Saga. And of course Mr. Abraham like never before." Mumbai Saga is said to be a gangster drama set in the 80s and also stars Emraan Hashmi, Suniel Shetty, Mahesh Manjrekar and Kajal Aggarwal.

    Most men overlook the fact that the hair defines the way they look. So, even if you're well-groomed, are wearing the best of the clothes from your closet but your hair is frizzy, it'll definitely ruin everything. 
    Often, we tend to not take care of our hair and that reflects in the bad hair quality in terms of dry, brittle hair. This is more often than not because we're not taking care of our hair, so here's why you should oil your hair, not just to improve your hair quality but also for other crucial benefits.
    1. Nix The Frizz © Getty Images
    Hair oil is probably the best natural conditioner. In order to 'deep condition' your hair, oil your hair with coconut oil, then leave it on overnight, and wash it off with a mild shampoo the next day.
    2. Hair Oil Can Also Be Soothing © Instagram/Ranveer Singh
    Slowly massaging hair oil helps in the better absorption of oil in the scalp. It also enables blood circulation which in turn is soothing. Oiling your hair also strengthens roots.
    3. Fights Off Fungal And Bacterial Infections  © Getty Images
    If you don't take care of your hair, your scalp especially becomes more prone to bacterial and fungal infections which reflects if you spot lice or dandruff among other visible signs. Regularly oiling your hair helps fight bacterial infections and goodness of the oil keeps the scalp hydrated.
    4. Gives Hair a Natural Sheen © Getty Images
    Regular oiling nourishes your hair root deep. Oiling your hair, even post-wash leaves a natural sheen to your hair. So you can say goodbye to the frizz because with regular oiling, you won't be facing that anymore.
    5. Nix The Dandruff Too © Getty Images
    One of the major reasons behind dandruff is a dry scalp. The dry scalp stretches and breaks, causing scabs and flakes that form dandruff. Dandruff cause itching on the scalp and at hair roots, inevitably resulting in hair breakage and hair fall. Massaging helps to keep the scalp nourished and to nix dandruff as well. So, this will definitely slow down the hair fall process.

    Sometimes words fail to express what the hearts wants to say and that is where the magical power of music sets in. If you also believe that songs can express what our hearts cannot better than we can fathom, then here are 10 songs to send to a special someone who is upset with you: 
    1. Yaaram The movie might be called Ek Thi Daayan but this song is perfect to woo that special someone who is taking a lot of time to accept your love. 
    2. Tujhe Kitna Chahe Aur Hum Break up woes or just a misunderstanding, a good reminder that you already love them as it is legit possible for you.
    3. Tumhi Aana Missing your special someone in this Winter bliss? Let them know that their memories have a home inside your heart but this time you wish they come back to you. 
    4. Daryaa Crying pools of tears is not what we advise but send this song to let them know how your daryaa of sorrow is full. 
    5. Tu Jaane Na When they claim you don't love them anymore or a rift is setting two hearts apart, trust Atif's magical voice to let them know what they don't already! 
    6. Aaogey Jab Tum A beautiful song which expresses everything your loved one needs to know.
    7. Aahatein When you have everything except for their sweet presence. 
    8. Yahin Hoon Main In case you are too far away from them  and you need to let them know that in your heart, they are extremely close to you. 
    9. Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahi A song unlike any other song. Sometimes when two people stop being together, it doesn't mean you stop being in love as well. This song is a reminder that you don't have to be upset with each other even if you aren't together now.
    10. Kahin To Hogi Woh We all have tripped on the feels that this number gives us and hence if you need to tell someone that you are waiting for a life where you are with them in a parallel universe, then this is the song.

    While our entire focus was on the devastating effects of the bushfires in Australia currently, we missed out on the chance to witness something spectacular coming back to life, amidst all the chaos and fire.
    © Twitter
    When we thought the flora and fauna have forever ceased to exist in Australia's burnt forests, we were absolutely wrong. 
    Murray Lowe, an Australian photographer, residing in New South Wales,  shared images from Kulnara on the Central Coast of NSW, on Facebook, that show new flowers and leaves blooming in the ashes. 
    The photographer has captured the essence of life, after forests were destroyed in the fire, and it's nothing short of beautiful. In fact, his caption on Facebook for these pictures says it all!
    "Went out to the fire grounds in Kulnura area again after a light rainfall the previous night, and found quite a bit of ant activity and leaves with rain drops cradled in them to provide water for insects in general. There is life out there and so marvellous to see it all once again regaining it's foot hold on this parched and scorched landscape," the caption read. 
    Check out the images here:

    This is definitely a silver lining for the continent as it gives up hope for a brand new life. It's almost like equating Australia to the Phoenix, which is actually emerging from the ashes, ready to welcome change in the most positive way ever.
    Murray Lowe has actually given us a lot of relief by releasing these pictures in the public domain and here's hoping the burnt forests of the continent are restored to normalcy, with its wildlife growing in numbers, hereon.

    We can call Varun Dhawan the most bankable B-town celebrity. A quick look at his style and you would see that he has the most-sought, fuss-free fashion game. Be it for the promotions or at the airport, Varun's wardrobe is what every guy would love to have too. We have to give to his stylists, Priyanka & Kazim AKA The Vainglorious who create every look with ease and total finesse.
    © Viral Bhayani
    The latest instance made us fall in love with his style a bit more. Varun slayed the casual outfit like never before as he was seen elevating his debonair with ripped shorts coupled with long black boots. He pulled it off quite effortlessly but wearing shorts with boots is unbelievably the best thing we have seen today.

    Shorts are a casual essential. In addition to that, a pair of long, patent leather boots can instantly change its appearance. It lends a unique aesthetic to any ensemble. You can easily dress up for any causal event since these boots are super versatile and fashionable. At first, boots and shorts combination might seem odd to you, but when you couple it with the right sort of colours, an ultra-stylish repertoire is just a step away!
    © Viral Bhayani
    One of the easiest ways to wear a pair of shorts would be with a T-shirt. Varun rather took an unconventional route and teamed the ripped shorts with a quirky graphic tee and layered it with a leather jacket. This is truly a masterstroke and adds more to the laid-back feel of this look.

    At the moment, Varun is promoting his upcoming movie Street Dancer 3D starring Shraddha Kapoor, Nora Fatehi and Prabhu Deva. It's all set to release on 24th January 2020.
    The overall ensemble has a sleek edge to it and is definitely a fail-safe way to team shorts and boots together. This is really well put, Varun. Kudos to you!

    Photo: FileLONDON: The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are looking to globally trademark the "Sussex Royal" brand which covers a range of items and activities including clothing, stationery and the running of "emotional support groups", according to international filings. 
    The application covering Australia, Canada, the EU and US was filed in December with the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) in the name of their new foundation, international media reported.
    As well as the application to register Sussex Royal – which the couple have been using on their Instagram account and on a website launched last week as they announced they were "stepping back" as senior royals – one was also made to register "Sussex Royal the Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex".

    Six classes were listed in the applications, covering printed matter such as magazines and greeting cards, clothing ranging from footwear to pyjamas, charitable fundraising and management, as well as education and social care services including the organising and conducting of emotional support groups. 
    Applications to trademark Sussex Royal for a range of goods and activities were lodged with UK intellectual property authorities last June by their advisers Natalie Campbell and Sara Latham. Ownership was switched to the couple in December.
    However, Harry and Meghan face having to potentially make an objection to protect their would-be brand after an application was lodged with EU authorities to trademark a range of goods including beer and jewellery under Sussex Royal.

    It was lodged on Thursday by an applicant who appears to be based in Italy and filed it in German, with English listed as a second language. Database searches suggest it was made in the name of Ui Phoenix Kerbl, possibly after the Guardian reported on Thursday that the Sussexes had yet to register their brand outside the UK. 
    Six categories of goods and services were listed – covering areas including toiletries, sporting goods, toys and alcoholic beverages – in the application to the European Union intellectual property office (EUIPO).
    Meanwhile, the Duke of Cambridge has expressed his sadness over tensions with his brother before Monday’s crisis summit at Sandringham called by the Queen to decide the future of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

    The brothers are now "separate entities" but Prince William hopes matters can be resolved so the royal family can once more play as "a team", according to reports.
    "I’ve put my arm around my brother all our lives and I can’t do that any more; we’re separate entities," William was quoted as saying.
    "I’m sad about that. All we can do, and all I can do, is try and support them and hope that the time comes when we’re all singing from the same page. I want everyone to play on the same team," he said.
    The comments come as the Queen, Prince of Wales, William and Harry prepare to meet face-to-face for the first time since the Sussexes’ bombshell statement on Wednesday.
    In it, Harry and Meghan said they intended to "step back" from being frontline royals, split their time between the UK and North America, and work towards becoming "financially independent".

    Wells had last visited Islamabad in August 2019, barely a few days after the Indian government had rushed through a presidential decree to abolish Article 370 of the Indian Constitution that granted special status to Indian occupied Kashmir, formally integrating the valley into India. 
    Following the revocation, a military curfew and communications blockade had been enforced in the valley and hundreds of thousands of Indian troops deployed to crush dissent. Several political leaders, including two former chief ministers, and thousands others had been arrested.

    Top Indian court says internet ban 'unconstitutional'The Supreme Court of India had ruled on Friday that shutting down internet in occupied Kashmir was unconstitutional in a rebuke for the government to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 
    An indefinite suspension of the internet is a violation of the telecoms rules of the country, the court said, ordering authorities in occupied Kashmir to review all curbs within seven days.
    Foreign diplomats had visited IoK a day before the top court ruling for the first time since August, but some European nations and others declined to go after being refused permission to travel independently.

    The trip included meetings with the army, politicians, civil society groups and journalists selected by the security services, two officials familiar with the plans said.
    The diplomats were not given access to Omar Abdullah or Mehbooba Mufti, the leaders of the two political parties, currently under detention, that have historically dominated occupied Kashmir.

    Jennifer Aniston misses the 2020 Critics’ Choice Awards for this reasonJennifer Aniston may have stolen the limelight at the recently held Golden Globes but during the Critics’ Choice Awards, the actor was nowhere to be seen.
    The 50-year-old Friends actor raised quite a few eyebrows after she skipped the award show, seemingly on a break from the circuit but the real reason why she decided to stay back was nothing too unexpected.
    During the Critics’ Choice Awards, The Morning Show actor had no nominations of her own while her latest TV series only bagged one: Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.
    And for this reason, the Murder Mystery actor decided to skip the show and hangout with her gal pals instead, with whom she has shared a a close bond for over 30 years ever since they left the world tittering through the classic sitcom Friends.
    The actor shared chirpy photos with her two best buds, Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox who played Phoebe Buffay and Monica Gellar respectively, while Jen essayed the role of Rachel Green in the Warner Bros. production.
    “Hi from the girls across the hall,” she captioned the photos on Instagram.

    Salman Khan is also impatiently waiting for Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone to have kidsFans aren’t the only ones eagerly waiting to see little mini versions of Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh.
    It looks like the industry bigwigs like Salman Khan are also impatiently counting down days till the Bollywood power couple start their family.
    During the latest episode of Bigg Boss 13, the Sultan megastar welcomed his special guest Deepika Padukone on the show where the Padmaavat diva was faced with a rather probing request from Salman.
    The Bajrangi Bhaijan revealed that he wishes to little Ahil or Ayats [his nephew and niece] in DeepVeer’s lives, and wants them to have babies immediately.
    The hilarious request that had been over the heads of fans for a long time, resulted in the beauty queen laughing it off and handling the question like a boss and she pointed her guns towards Salman instead asking him to have babies.
    The 54-year-old Radhe actor had an apt response as he said that he is still a kid.

    Selena Gomez comes to Hailey Baldwin’s defense as trolls attack after their run-inSelena Gomez and her ex Justin Bieber may have had sour ties but the singer is clear that she picked her battle with one person only as she was recently seen taking the high road.
    The fiasco unleashed when Justin Bieber’s wife and supermodel Hailey Baldwin was accompanying singer Maddison Beer – who is also friends with Selena – for dinner, at a place where the Lose You To Love Me singer was already present for her celebration.
    While that may have been a coincidental run-in, fans on the internet wasted no time in throwing shade and sending hate to Beer for ruining Selena’s celebratory dinner.
    However, Beer was not one to be silent while getting unnecessary amount of hate as she struck back saying: “These rumors are getting insane.. I just had dinner with my friend hailey of 10 years… and that’s it?” she wrote in her own comments section. “How is that a crime? I love selena.. always have. (as y’all know.) and I would literally never in a million years try to upset her??? that is just mean and unnecessary and nothing happened. it was just a coincidence, you’re bullying me for no reason…,” she wrote.
    Selena too joined in to not just defend her friend but also Hailey as she wrote: “This is disgusting reading all of this. This wasn’t intentional whatsoever. I’m so disappointed that people would speak to someone like this. I have known Madison since she was a baby and watched her continue to become the woman she is. There is no issue.”

    Marvel's Avengers: Endgame was one film that rocked the world and shattered the box office records last year.
    And rightfully so, the Russo Brothers-directorial is getting the accolades that it deserves starting off at the Critics’ Choice Awards 2020 as it took home two awards.
    The star-studded, record-breaking superhero film bagged nominations for Best Action Movie, Best Sci-Fi or Horror Movie and Best Visual Effects, and took home two out of those, leaving Marvel fans euphoric.
    However, there were many viewers ready to rain on their parades as they took to social media to complain about the film not worthy of the Best Action Movie title.
    Keanu Reeves’ John Wick was termed more of a favourite for some of the fans as one fan wrote: "This movie only had 20-30 mins of action in it? I 100% disagree on this.”

    ‘1917’ defeats ‘Star Wars’, marches to box-office victory in North AmericaLos Angeles: Universal's war drama 1917 took command of the North American box office this weekend, riding its Golden Globes success to earn an estimated $36.5 million, industry watcher Exhibitor Relations reported Sunday.
    The film's unexpectedly strong showing was timely, with Oscar nominations set to be announced on Monday. Last Sunday it won Golden Globes -- often a predictor of Oscar success — for both best drama and best director (Sam Mendes).
    1917, filmed as if in one long, continuous shot — one critic called it a "protean display of virtuoso filmmaking" — flourished despite a lack of A-list stars. The central characters, two British lance corporals on a desperate mission, are played by George MacKay and Dean-Charles Chapman; Colin Firth and Benedict Cumberbatch have minor roles.
    Disney's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, fell to second place after a month in first with a take of $15.1 million. The finale of the nine-film Skywalker Saga has now taken in a global total just shy of $1 billion.
    In third, down one spot from last weekend, was Sony's action sequel Jumanji: The Next Level, which earned $14 million for third place in the Friday-through-Sunday period. It stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and Kevin Hart.
    Tied for fourth place were Paramount's new release Like a Boss and Warner Bros. drama Just Mercy, each with $10 million.
    Like a Boss stars Tiffany Haddish, Rose Byrne and Salma Hayek in the story of two friends whose small beauty company is targeted by an industry titan.
    Just Mercy, with Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Foxx and Brie Larson, is based on the true story of a black man on death row in Alabama who appeals his wrongful conviction for the murder of a white woman.
    Rounding out the top 10 were:
    Little Women ($7.7 million)
    Underwater ($7 million)
    Frozen II ($5.8 million)
    Knives Out ($5.7 million)
    Spies in Disguise ($5.1 million)

    “They’ve been best friends for almost thirty years, at this point, there’s really no one Jen is closer to,” the insider continued.


    The two who had essayed the roles of Monica Gellar and Rachel Green in the iconic 90’s sitcom were said to “always have each other’s backs and Jen has said many times that she doesn’t know what she’d do without Courteney in her life.”
    Hinting at Jennifer’s split in 2005 with Brad Pitt and later with Justin Theroux in 2018, the grapevine said: “During Jen’s toughest times Courteney has always been there, by her side helping her cope.”
