Hi there 🤖 👋

However, there were also hiccups aplenty. A lacklustre emcee in Saif Ali Khan, a few non-functional LED lights, Shahid Kapoor almost taking a tumble and Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma stepping on a light were the low points. But Shahid’s overall performance and Hrithik Roshan’s emotional but fiery closing act spared the blushes during the two-hour ceremony held before a sparse 15,000 crowd at the Salt Lake stadium. The first dampener came early in the evening in the form of heavy thundershowers that pushed back the ceremony by one and a half hours, but the crowd stuck to their seats waiting for the star acts....

There has been much controversy about the panel, as it gave a clean chit to all the accused in the infamous IPL spot-fixing case, which included big-wigs like Rajasthan Royals‘ owner Raj Kundra, and more notably, Srinivasan’s son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan, who was arrested after he was linked with betting syndicates.

Now, Blizzard is doing another tribute, but one that hits a little closer to home. In the upcoming 2.3.0 patch for Diablo 3, the developer will be introducing a new item that pays homage to a former employee who passed away from cancer last year.

““Kill’’ is based on John Grisham’s first novel, regarded by his fans as his most brilliant book and by his detractors as the only halfway decent one. (Director Schumacher has already tackled Grisham with ““The Client’’ and vigilantism with ““Falling Down.’’) Here, Hailey’s trial turns into a dated, ’60s-ish spectacle. Blacks riot with the Ku Klux Klan. The National Guard arrives. And people sell T shirts reading both FREE CARL HAILEY and FRY CARL HAILEY....

RELATED: Bloodborne: Every Starting Class’ Stats & Backstory However, while most of these challenging boss fights can prove to be quite an entertaining affair, there are others that feel so ridiculously hard or disappointing that defeating them feels more like a task than an accomplishment.

At first, that requires a supply of readily available upgrade materials called Blood Shards (first regular, then Twin Blood Shards)....

On this past week’s episode of SmackDown, John Cena and Kevin Owens were victorious in a tag team match over Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn. However, the celebrations were cut short as The Bloodline jumped Cena and Owens in a three-on-two assault after the cameras stopped filming. Taking to Instagram, Jey Uso further mocked Cena, as he shared a photo of him and Jimmy Uso attacking him. Jey’s choice of emoji on his Instagram story was also quite telling....

While Bloomberg’s political opponents attacked him on his past record during the debates, Trump called Bloomberg’s performance “grossly incompetent.” “Mini Mike Bloomberg’s debate performance tonight was perhaps the worst in the history of debates,” Trump tweeted after the Las Vegas debate in February, “and there have been some really bad ones. He was stumbling, bumbling and grossly incompetent. If this doesn’t knock him out of the race, nothing will. Not so easy to do what I did!...

That streak stayed alive Sunday with a 1-0 win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Based on the Pens' previous game, a power-play fueled 4-3 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday, and the fact that Pittsburgh spent 8:22 with the man advantage against St. Louis, a one-goal game wasn't particularly likely — but there it was. "We were a little desperate," captain David Backes, the game's only goal-scorer, said afterward....
