Justin Timberlake has pleaded guilty for his DWI case in the drunk driving charges. On September 13, Timberlake appeared in court with his attorney, Edward Burke Jr., where the musician addressed the judge and said that he was disappointed by his act of breaking the rules and has been reflecting upon his doings ever since. Moreover, the popular personality in the industry also expressed gratitude to the people involved in the case.

During his appearance at the Sag Harbour courthouse, the actor-singer revealed, “I did not live up to the standard I hold myself to.” He went on to state to the court that he would “like to take a moment to show gratitude to everybody involved.” Timberlake also mentioned that coming from a small town he understands “the strain this can put” on his fans as well as the resources. 

After the musician’s statements in the court, he was questioned by the lawyer of the opposite party, Irace, over the intent of the actor over driving. Timberlake responded, “I found myself in a position where I should’ve taken a moment; I should’ve had better judgment. I understand and appreciate the seriousness of this.” 

Meanwhile, Irace claimed that he appreciated the singer’s honesty and believes that he would not make a similar mistake in the future. While the plea for the actor to be jailed was dismissed, Timberlake is still to pay a fine of $500 and provide 25 months of social services. 

Meghan Markle has found comfort in books while confronting the topic of online trolling at various conferences. In recent times, the Duchess of Sussex visited two of the newly opened bookstores while also donning a brand new diamond necklace.

During the Suits actress’ public outings with her husband, Prince Harry, Markle had opened up about being a victim of online abuse, so much so that the couple has been working towards helping the people through their Archwell Foundation. 

Not only are Prince Harry and Markle into the hobby of reading books, but they are also trying for their kids to indulge in the reading as well. In one of the previous interviews, the couple revealed their favorite children’s books that their kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, have been interested in.

During her appearance at the bookstore alongside Oprah Winfrey, Markle spoke about how the hobby of reading from an early age has helped her in the literary areas of her life.

She also stated that the first thing she finds in a store in the children’s section is “Because, my gosh, does it begin young?” While addressing the crowd, she also claimed that “to feel seen and to know that you’re not alone, and that your story is reflected in someone else’s.”

The Buckingham Murders directed by Hansal Mehta and starring Kareena Kapoor Khan took a dull start at the box office as it only collected Rs 1.10 crore net on day 1 in India. The film has a limited appeal and thus the makers opted for a release only in the big cities. However, the reception in big cities is also not too encouraging if the opening day numbers are anything to go by. From here, The Buckingham Murders will have to keep growing exponentially to leave even a slight impact.

The Buckingham Murders Takes A Dull Start Of Rs 1.10 Crore Net At The Indian Box Office

The Buckingham Murders is among Kareena Kapoor Khan’s lowest box office openers. To put things into perspective, the collections are even lower than what Tumbbad has collected in its re-release. The theatrical results may likely have been expected by the makers of the film even while filming it. It can best be described as a work of passion and not a movie made keeping the box office in mind. That however does not absolve it of criticism. Films like The Buckingham Murders are greenlit based on the rebates and the digital rights. As long as the non-theatrical revenues and returns keep coming, there’s no reason why producers would not want to make them.

Kareena Kapoor Khan Must Understand Her Box Office Pull

The Buckingham Murders is a financially safe project but the strong start of Kareena Kapoor Khan‘s last film Crew only means that she has a significant box office pull and she is underutilising her box office pull by being part of off-beat films. Yes, off-beat films will continue to be made but an actress with a wide audience can’t afford to play this small because it counts as potential lost.
