Anne Hathaway sat next to a famous K-Pop star during Milan Fashion Week!
The Oscar-winning actress sat in the front row at the Versace fashion show alongside Stray Kids singer Hyunjin on Friday (February 23) in Milan, Italy.
Anne became a trending topic on social media after the photos were released because fans were so excited to see her sitting next to the singer.
Vogue noted that Anne was giving off “dominatrix” vibes in the red leather dress that she chose to wear. It was straight off the runway!
It’s likely a quick trip to Milan for Anne as she is expected to be in Los Angeles on Saturday for the SAG Awards, where she will reunite with some beloved former co-stars.
Anne recently talked about her scrapped Barbie movie and why she’s lucky it didn’t get made.

Welcome to the Stray Kids Hot Megaverse. The K-pop group have released the action-packed video for their rap-filled single “Megaverse” from their recently-released mini-album Rock-Star.
The video opens with the group — comprising Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N — being watched by a security guard from inside of an elevator, before Felix opens the track with a high-energy rap verse, declaring: “The multiverse ain’t ready for our universe.”
The video then shows each member walking through an ominous cement building before members knock out...

K-pop sensations NewJeans performed “Super Shy” and “Omg” during the 2023 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday.
Appearing first in a futuristic set with pulsating lights that framed each of them in separate booths, the quintet — Danielle, Haerin, Hyein, Hanni and Minji — then moved to centerstage where they were joined by a bevy of dancers to perform a fun “Super Shy” that was in-step with the song’s viral choreography. Meanwhile, their Bunnies fans chanted along to the song.

Instead, celebs will be making appearances “in global locations, in the midst of sold-out tours, and in custom venues.” The performances and acceptance speeches will take place all around the world instead of in one room.

Stray Kids, the K-pop octet who released 5-Star this summer, performed one of the album’s singles, “S-Class,” on Tuesday night at the MTV Video Music Awards. It was the group’s first time performing on the awards show.

Midway through their set, Stray Kids was joined by a crew of additional dancers to take the show to the next left. They all fell into step together,...

Last March, 25-year-old Kiana Fazeli was at the library studying for the MCATs from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., prepping for medical school applications. "I was honestly kind of depressed," she remembers. "It was a very, very lonely time for me."
Then, the YouTube algorithm surfaced a video for Stray Kids, a K-pop group, and a member, whom she now knows as Felix, caught her attention. She wondered: "Who is this handsome fellow?" She started poring over Stray Kids's TikToks and music videos and learning more about the eight-member group. That snowballed into Fazeli getting into BTS after watching their vacation docuseries, "In the Soop [Forest]," and their variety show, "Run BTS."
