MGK Has a Shot With Megan Fox but Only Under One Condition — Source

It has been years sinceMegan FoxandMachine Gun Kelly, aka MGK, ended their relationship. The high-profile couple reportedly broke up during the Thanksgiving weekend in 2024. According to a report, the reason for the separation was the actor finding something upsetting on her beau's phone. Now, according to a source, MGK has a chance with Fox if he is willing to change his ways.

MGK 'has to show that change is underway and it's real' for a shot with Megan Fox, per source

According toStar, MGK needs to changeto be happy with Megan Fox. The source stated that the "Rap Devil," singer is "addicted to chaos … and being an instigator." They added, "That 'anything goes' attitude plays fine on the concert stage and in the recording studio, where he's been rewarded for taking big, counter-intuitive risks." However, "in a romantic relationship, it's poisonous."

The source continued, "Change doesn't happen overnight, but if MGK really wants a shot at long-term happiness, with Megan or anybody else, he has to show that change is underway and it's real." They further explained, "Knowing MGK, I just don't think he's there yet." Recently, the rapper dropped some flirty comments on his ex-fiancée's Instagram posts. "Of course Megan's head-turning return to Instagram freaked him out," the source said.

They continued, "She has millions of fans who were driven into an absolute frenzy by those sexy pictures." The source shared, "And the funny thing is, not too long ago MGK was himself one of those faceless fans of hers, before he willed himself into celebrity and music success." They also said, "There's still a big part of him that's still that 18-year-old kid dreaming of being a star [and] the only thing that's going to get him to calm down and fully become an adult is age itself." The insider concluded, "He's still figuring out who he really is, even after all this time."

Following MGK's comment, manywonderedif the ex-couple is back together. However,TMZ's source shared, "nothing has changed." The insider added, "they only co-parent their 11-month-old daughter, Saga Blade … despite what MGK wrote under her post."

In London's pubs, love gets a PowerPoint makeover

People attend "Date My Mate", a live dating night where friends pitch their single friends in London

LONDON, March 27 (Reuters) - Fed up of swiping left or right on dating apps, young London singles are returning to a classic British way of meeting people--the pub--with a ‌modern twist: a PowerPoint presentation by a close friend pitching them as dating material.

Putting together a ‌slide deck is second nature for many younger millennials and older Gen Zers. Now, they're using that skill to enhance their mates' love ​lives, just as dating apps are losing their appeal.

"I hate the swiping," said Annie, 27, adding she was keen to see if her friend's two-minute pitch at a 'Date my Mate' event could land her a boyfriend--or at least a first date.

Organisers said all 150 tickets for the event, held at a north London pub, were sold in less ‌than five minutes. And they're planning to ⁠roll out more, aiming for one a week across the country.

DATING APPS LOSE SHINE

Dating apps are fading in popularity in the UK, with usage across the 10 biggest platforms ⁠falling 16% between 2023 and 2024, according to Global Dating Insights. Polling shows nearly half of users have had negative experiences on apps like Tinder and Hinge.

At the event, friends crowded around tables with glasses of wine, wearing "Date" or "Mate" stickers, ​as ​presenters clicked through slides of flattering holiday snaps and fun ​facts.

"A bit more about Lauren. She's 30. ‌She's a structural engineer, so even though she will stop walls from falling down, she'll always be there to support you," said one friend.

"Interesting fact, she's just about to submit her sexy fantasy romance book to publishers."

Having seen similar events in Australia and the U.S. on social media, Emily Churchill, head of marketing at wine company Nice who helped arrange the event, said she knew she had to bring the concept to London.

"It's just so ‌much fun," she said, adding it gave coupled-up friends a ​way to help their single mates find love and escape "horrible dating ​stories."

'VINTAGE' WAY OF MEETING PEOPLE

Those hunting for a ​match said it was easier for a friend to sell their best qualities--and poke ‌fun at their flaws--with humour and honesty.

"It's quite ​retro. It's a vintage way ​of meeting people," said Jonny, 28, a journalist, joking about how he tried to steer his own presentation.

His friend Patrick said the preparation involved "hundreds of photos over WhatsApp, hundreds, and him being incredibly specific ​about the ones that make him ‌look good."

Laughing about whether the friendship would survive the pitch, Patrick said he was confident the ​slides were good enough to lead to a wedding some day.

Putin asks oligarchs to donate to Russia's budget as cost of Ukraine war soars, The Bell media reports

March 26 (Reuters) - Russia's President Vladimir Putin has asked oligarchs to donate to the country's budget in a bid ‌to stabilise the country's finances as he presses on ‌with his invasion of Ukraine, The Bell online media outlet reported late on ​Thursday, citing unnamed sources.

Reuters

It said Putin met top Russia's businessmen behind closed doors on Thursday.

The Financial Times also published a similar report on Thursday, citing three people familiar with the matter.

The Bell, citing ‌the sources, said Putin ⁠discussed military funding and continuation of the war, which is in its fifth year since Russia's full-scale ⁠invasion in February 2022.

Russia will fight on, Putin said, until it captures the remaining areas of Ukraine's eastern Donbas region not under its ​control, ​the report added.

The Bell also said ​billionaire Suleiman Kerimov at ‌the meeting with Putin pledged to donate 100 billion roubles ($1.23 billion).

Reuters could not immediately verify the report. Calls to Kerimov's office in Russia's Federation Council were not answered outside of business hours on Friday.

As the war in Ukraine drags on, Russia is facing ‌a double whammy of falling budget revenues ​from energy sales and of an ​economic slowdown, which affects ​tax income from other sectors of the economy.

Sources ‌told Reuters earlier this month that ​the Russian government ​has been preparing a possible 10% cut to all "non-sensitive" spending in this year's budget, but the final decision will hinge ​on the sustainability ‌of the oil price rise triggered by the Iran ​war.

Israel launches new wave of strikes on Iran with no sign of diplomatic breakthrough

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Israel launched a wave of strikes on Iran early Friday ahead of a planned U.N. Security Council meeting to discuss attacks on Iranian civilian infrastructure, while Iran and the United States appeared at a diplomatic impasse, setting the stage for more potential escalation as the first month of the Middle East war neared its end.

APTOPIX Iraq Iran US Israel

Israel's attack Friday on targets "in the heart of Tehran" came after the country said it would be "intensifying" its strikes on Iranian weapons production facilities, but there was no immediate information on what was hit.

Smoke also rose over Beirut, although Israel did not immediately report hitting the Lebanese capital, while air raid sirens sounded in Israel as the military said it was working to intercept Iranian missiles. Iran kept up its attacks on its Gulf Arab neighbors, with incoming drones and missiles reported in both Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.

The U.S. has been pushing Iran to start talks on a 15-point proposal for a ceasefire, but at the same time has ordered thousands more troops to the region, possibly in preparation for a military attempt to wrest the Strait of Hormuz from Iran's tight grip.

After Wall Street's worst day since the war began,Asian shares mostly fell Fridayover growing doubts about the chances of de-escalation. Oil prices rose again, the Brent crude, the international standard, at $107 a barrel in morning trading, up more than 45% since Israel and the U.S. attacked Iran on Feb. 28 to start the war.

US pushing diplomatic solution but sending more troops to the region

Iran's stranglehold on shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, has caused growing concerns of a global energy crisis, and appears part of a strategy to get the U.S. to back down by roiling the world economy. A Gulf Arab bloc said Thursday that Iran is now exacting tolls from ships to ensure their safe passage through the waterway.

Trump envoy Steve Witkoff saidWashington has delivereda15-point "action list"to Iran for a possible ceasefire, using Pakistan as an intermediary. The list includes restrictions on Iran's nuclear program and re-opening the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran has rejected the U.S. offer and put forth its ownfive-point proposal, which includes reparations and recognition of its sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz.

As the diplomatic efforts went on, a group of U.S. ships drew closer to the region with some 2,500 Marines. Also, at least 1,000 paratroopers from the82nd Airborne— trained to land in hostile territory to secure key territory and airfields — have been ordered to the region.

As American and Israeli attacks on Iran continued, the U.N. Security Council scheduled closed consultation on Iran for Friday in New York, according to two U.N. diplomats who spoke on condition of anonymity because the meeting is not public.

They added that Russia had asked for the meeting on U.S.-Israeli attacks on civilian infrastructure in the country, that the United States, which holds the Security Council presidency, had scheduled it.

Deaths continue to climb, primarily in Iran and Lebanon

Since the war began, more than 1,900 people have been killed in Iran, according to the Health Ministry.

Eighteen people have died in Israel, while at least three Israeli soldiers have also been killed in Lebanon. At least 13 American troops have been killed. Four people in the occupied West Bank and 20 in Gulf Arab states have also died.

Authorities said more than 1,100 people have died in Lebanon. In Iraq, where Iranian-supported militia groups have entered the conflict, 80 members of the security forces have been killed.

Rising reported from Bangkok. Associated Press writers Giovanna Dell'Orto in Miami and Edith M. Lederer at the United Nations contributed to this report.

Chinese universities with military links bought Super Micro servers with restricted AI chips

By Eduardo Baptista

Reuters

BEIJING, March 27 (Reuters) - Four Chinese universities, including two linked to the People's Liberation Army, bought Super Micro Computer servers with restricted AI chips over the past year, procurement data shows, even as the U.S. clamps down on sales of ‌some advanced processors to China.

It was not clear how the servers were sourced.

Concerned about the potential forartificial intelligencechips to enhance China's ‌military capabilities, the U.S. from 2022 began banning the sale of someNvidiachips such as the A100 to China.

San Jose, California-headquartered Super Micro hit the headlines last week when three ​people associated with the company, including its co-founder, were charged with helping smuggle at least $2.5 billion of U.S. AI technology to China.

The company was not named in the indictment and says it was the victim of an elaborate scheme by the individuals.

Chinese universities have previously acquired restricted chips in servers made by Super Micro and other manufacturers, Reuters reporting from 2024 shows. But the continued practice, particularly by institutions with links to the PLA, is likely to stoke concerns of ‌some U.S. lawmakers.

On Monday, two U.S. senators, citing the ⁠indictments of the three people linked to Super Micro, urged U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to consider pausing all export licenses allowing advanced Nvidia AI chips and server systems to be sent to China or intermediaries in Southeast Asia.

In addition ⁠to the universities that bought the Super Micro servers, two others - including one linked to the military - sought to make similar purchases, Reuters checks of publicly available tender documents for 2025 and early this year show. In those two cases, it was not clear if there was a successful purchase.

Super Micro declined to comment on ​the information ​in the documents. Nvidia said it continues to work closely with customers and the ​U.S. government on compliance as export regulations have expanded.

China's commerce ‌ministry and the U.S. Commerce Department did not respond to a request for comment.

A HOT-BUTTON ISSUE

Much remains unclear about how many sales of U.S. AI chips to China will be acceptable to Washington and Beijing.

The Trump administration last year greenlighted the sale of Nvidia's H200 chips - more powerful than currently restricted products - albeit with a number of conditions that could limit amounts sold.

For its part, Beijing, keen to bolster Chinese chipmakers, has discouraged companies from purchasing U.S. AI chips. But sources said this month that Nvidia has won Beijing's approval to sell the H200. As yet, there have been no confirmed sales.

Critics ‌of such sales worry that they will accelerate research.

That "may in turn help improve China's ​weapons design and testing, military planning and logistics, autonomous weapons systems, or surveillance," said Jacob ​Feldgoise, senior data research analyst at Georgetown University's Center for Security and ​Emerging Technology.

Examples of procurement of restricted AI chips include a document from Beihang University, one of China's "Seven Sons of ‌National Defense" institutions that plays a key role in aerospace and ​defence research and is linked to ​the PLA.

It said in a March 16 notice this year it had procured a machine-learning workstation built on a Super Micro system, configured with four Nvidia A100 chips.

A July notice from Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT), another one of China's "Seven Sons" that has worked on missile, satellite, and ​robotics technologies, shows it procured a Super Micro ‌system with eight Nvidia A100s.

Beihang University, located in Beijing, and HIT, based in the northeastern city of Harbin, did not respond to ​Reuters requests for comment. Both are on a U.S. export blacklist, which makes it hard for U.S. companies to secure licenses ​to supply them.

She said that she was suffering from anxiety due to being taken advantage of by people close to her, "This feeling of helplessness is unbearable – it's killing me."

"I am still in shock," Andress told the outlet. "I was deliberately chosen as a victim. For eight years, I was courted and wooed. They lied to me unscrupulously and exploited my good will and trust in a perfidious and indeed criminal way in order to take everything from me."

"I've worked hard and always saved my money," she said. "I hoped to spend my final years happily and peacefully. And now this happens – I've been disgustingly cheated! I hope the perpetrators are punished to the full extent of the law. I'm devastated."
