Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Lady Gaga has publicly discussed her upcoming collaboration with Jenna Ortega in the eagerly awaited second season of the hit Netflix series Wednesday. Gaga, who will be appearing in an undisclosed role, shared her excitement during a recent interview while promoting her latest album.

In her conversation with Entertainment Weekly, Gaga expressed her enthusiasm about joining the cast but emphasized her desire to keep details about her character under wraps. “I don’t want to give away anything about being part of the show. I want to keep it extra secret — but, I love Jenna, and I really had an amazing time!” she remarked.

Rumors about Gaga’s involvement began in November when it was announced that she had been filming in Europe for the gothic series. Although her character’s specifics remain undisclosed, fans are eager to learn more as the season approaches.

The show, which premiered in 2022, centers around Wednesday Addams, portrayed by Ortega, as she navigates her life at Nevermore Academy, exploring her psychic abilities along the way. Wednesday has quickly become a cultural sensation, featuring an ensemble cast that includes Gwendoline Christie, Luis Guzmán, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and Christina Ricci, who famously played a role in the 1991 Addams Family films.

Ortega has openly admired Gaga for years and had previously hoped that the icon would join the series. At the 2023 Golden Globes, she even mused about how Gaga could fit into the Wednesday narrative, suggesting a potential connection between their characters. “I think Mrs. Thornhill and Wednesday had this weird mentor relationship or kind of understood each other, so if Lady Gaga were to be a part, I think it would have to be two monsters that understand each other,” Ortega noted.

Furthermore, the bond between Jenna and Gaga has deepened outside the show. Gaga’s 2011 hit “Bloody Mary” gained renewed popularity, thanks to fans pairing it with Ortega’s viral dance scene, leading to unexpected chart success for the track more than a decade after its release. With the anticipation building, viewers are excited to see how this collaboration unfolds in the upcoming season.

Former England cricketer Nasser Hussain has issued a caution to India ahead of their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final against New Zealand, set to take place on Sunday, March 9, at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

Hussain highlighted New Zealand’s historical advantage over India in tournament finals, having triumphed in both previous encounters between the two teams in such high-stakes matches.

In his remarks, Hussain emphasized that New Zealand is known for their resilience under pressure. He conveyed his thoughts during an appearance on Sky Sports, stating, “They will not bottle it, they won’t choke. We were having dinner with [former Australia captain] Aaron Finch, who summarized it well by pointing out that New Zealand are never a side that beat themselves. They consistently show up and deliver a solid performance.”

Hussain further praised New Zealand’s lineup, calling them a blend of steadfast athletes, featuring both experienced players and emerging talent. “Throughout the New Zealand team, you will find tough cricketers who give their all in every match. This commitment is why they routinely reach semi-finals and finals,” he noted. The team possesses a valuable mix of seasoned professionals, like the esteemed Kane Williamson, and younger players, including promising talents like Rachin Ravindra. While Hussain acknowledged that New Zealand may lose, he asserted that if they do, it will solely be due to India’s performance.

Historically, New Zealand has bested India in ten out of their sixteen encounters in ICC events, contributing to several of India’s disappointments in critical matches. As a result, the Indian team is likely to approach this final with caution, keen to overcome past adversities against the formidable Kiwis. The clash shapes up to be an enticing contest, with both sides bringing their strengths to the fore in pursuit of cricketing glory.

Vinod Sehwag, the sibling of former Indian cricketer Virender Sehwag, has been taken into custody by the Chandigarh Police in a case concerning a bounced cheque amounting to ₹7 crore. Following his arrest, a local court has ordered him to remain in judicial custody.

The legal issues stem from Jalta Food and Beverages Company, where Sehwag serves as one of the directors, alongside Vishnu Mittal and Sudhir Malhotra. All three individuals face charges under the Negotiable Instruments Act. The matter came to light when Krishna Mohan, the proprietor of Shri Naina Plastic Factory in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh, lodged a complaint regarding a transaction with Jalta Food and Beverages. He claimed that the company had purchased merchandise from his factory and issued a ₹7 crore cheque for payment.

Trouble arose when Mohan tried to cash the cheque at the Oriental Bank of Commerce branch in Manimajra, only to discover that it bounced due to a lack of sufficient funds in the issuing account. After this incident, Mohan decided to pursue legal action, leading to a complaint when payment was not received.

In 2022, the court labeled the three directors as fugitives after they failed to attend hearings, resulting in a police directive to file a case in September 2023. Now that Sehwag has been arrested, he has submitted a request for bail, with the hearing scheduled for March 10. It is noteworthy that he faces a staggering 174 cheque bounce cases, having applied for bail in 138 of them.

As these proceedings progress, the situation attracts significant public attention, particularly given Sehwag’s connection to the world of cricket. The forthcoming court decisions will have considerable implications, not only for Sehwag’s personal standing but also for the financial consequences associated with these serious legal challenges.
