Arshdeep Singh will lead India’s pace attack in the 2nd T20I against Bangladesh, which is scheduled to take place at Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on Wednesday (October 9).
Chris Pine has expressed uncertainty regarding his participation in The Princess Diaries 3. However, he was delighted to learn about the official announcement of the sequel.
Pine, who played Nicholas Devereaux in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, did speak about the subject in one of his recent appearances on the Today show with Hoda & Jenna on October 8.
Upon asking him if he would share the screen with Anne Hathaway in the upcoming film, Pine accepted that he was not in talks about anything related to the project. He is not sure about his return to Genovia.
The hosts stressed Pine’s active participation in the franchise, but the actor jokingly told them that they should contact Disney or Bob Iger to get such answers. He said, “The answer is, honestly, I don’t know anything about it. I think it’s fantastic.”
Even so, Pine, on the other hand, expressed his eagerness in the making of the film, as he stated that he believed it’d be great.
Anne Hathaway will return to the franchise as Mia Thermopolis in the third movie. The revival comes 20 years after the last installment, The Princess Diaries 2. The follow-up will be helmed by Crazy Rich Asians director Adele Lim, who is a big fan of the two movies.
Lim could not hide her joy at being associated with this project. She said that this franchise needs to promote concepts such as female empowerment, joy, and mentorship, which are critical elements in the franchise.
Hathaway went on to say how pleased she was that Lim would be directing the third Princess Diaries movie. Last year, some of the fans were eager to hear about the sequel confirmation. Anne told fans that they had to wait a little because everything takes time.
Meanwhile, it is still unknown whether Julie Andrews will return in The Princess Diaries 3. Andrews was perfect as Queen Clarisse Renaldi in the first two movies.
The Princess Diaries is a film franchise of cult classic movies targeting a young adult audience that started in 2001 inspired by the book series Meg Cabot. The plot centers around a rather uncomplicated teenage girl, Mia Thermopolis, who is a resident of San Francisco and learns that she is the daughter of the King of a fictional country.
During the film series, Mia effectively manages the simultaneously evolving dimensions of royalty, relationships, and life itself, all under the watchful eye of her grandmother Queen Clarisse Renaldi, played by Julie Andrews.
The first film, The Princess Diaries, zoomed into Mia’s quest from a simple girl to a princess with great changes in her life. The second film, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, focused on the next stage, where the heroine is a princess and is now being prepared to be a queen soon.
Both The Princess Diaries and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement are available to stream on Disney+.

After openly discussing her mental health struggles a few months ago, Billie Eilish is now addressing her physical fitness, saying in a recent interview that she feels like she’s at constant war with her body. The Birds of a Feather singer, 22, shared in the November cover story for Vogue that she has endured her fair share of injuries while performing over the years, all while juggling her hypermobility, which means her joints stretch further than normal.
“I’ve basically been in pain since I was 9,” she told the fashion outlet, noting that while growing up, she always had people telling her her pain would worsen as she matured. Eilish recalled being “so furious” at their comments.
In addition to her poor physical health, Eilish mentioned that performing for thousands of fans sometimes made her feel isolated in the past.

“I’ve had some really dark times on tour,” she explained. “For a long time, I was kind of living like it was temporary. Like, yeah, I’m touring for now, and it’s kind of unpleasant, and whatever. It’ll be over soon. And the truth is, it’s the rest of my life.”
However, Eilish has come to terms with her reality, stating that she’s working on making the process more enjoyable for herself. “I just was very lonely for many years, and I’m not interested in that anymore. I want to enjoy the show as well as my days,” she expressed.
Eilish previously opened up about battling depression in an April 2024 interview with Rolling Stone. The multi-Grammy and Oscar winner described herself as a joyous person capable of finding fun and laughter in her life all while still being depressed.
Her comfort with feeling melancholic, however, changed one day when she hit a turning point and realized she hadn’t been happy in seven years. Eilish said she had the illusion of happiness given her outstanding achievements at such a young age, but then she came to terms with the fact that, outside of the glitz and glamour of her profession, she had not experienced a lot.

Eilish told Rolling Stone at the time that she’d been trying to reconnect with the girl she was in 2019, which she called “the best time” of her life. She mentioned that her third album, Hit Me Hard and Soft, helped her feel somewhat like her five-year-old self. Eilish expressed that she’d been grieving her younger self and searching for her everywhere, but it felt like she had been drowned by the world and the media. The singer achingly relayed that she doesn’t remember when that version of herself went away.
Elsewhere in her conversation with Vogue, the singer revealed that she regrets discussing her sexuality and dating life in public. She also reiterated her support for Kamala Harris in the 2024 presidential race.
