The appearance came during one of West's recent live performances on Wednesday, April 1, where the rapper faced anunexpected onstage hiccupthat quickly grabbed attention for all the wrong reasons.

One person reacted to Bianca's latest look, writing, "Just another example of the ratherweird peoplesome people chose as partners and thethings they will do to please them."

Kanye West, also known as Ye, has recently returned to the music industry and the stage following the release of his 12th studio album,Bully, last month.

His wife, Bianca Censori, has reportedly taken an active role in his comeback, including directing the music video for his trackFather, featuring Travis Scott.

This marks the Yeezy architect's evolution from being Kanye's partner and muse to becoming a central creative collaborator.

Earlier this week, during Kanye'sYe: Homecomingconcert series at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Bianca opted for a skintight blue catsuit while supporting the musician.

Thephoto was originally postedby photographer and designer Gadir Rajab on Instagram, which Bianca later reshared on her Stories.

The outfit featured a plunging V-neckline and a figure-hugging silhouette, which she paired with closed-toe, lime-green heels.

To complete her bold look, Censori kept her dark hair pulled back into a sleek bun.

Notably, keeping her makeup minimal, Bianca also ditched additional accessories, including jewelry.

In the image, she was seen posing in a VIP area with Rajab, who had one arm around her waist.

Social media users were largely unimpressed with her latest fashion choice, with manymocking and criticizing her.

One member of the fashion police noted, "The clothes are diabolical but the shoes, the shoes."

Another chimed in, "He is always so over dressed while she is.. well.. almost n*ked.. even compared to the huge sour Kim…"

"Always tacky," wrote a third user, while others expressed, "As long as he remains relevant, famous and wealthy, she will stay by his side."

"Boooorrrrring. She thinks she's an artist now…." read another harsh comment.

While some viewers dubbed Censori "the hottest woman in the world," others bluntly labeled her look "tacky" and "boring"

Apart from Bianca'soutfit, West's reportedly frustration-filled performance that same night also made headlines.

The performance was interrupted multiple times as theGod Israpper directly criticized his production crew's choices mid-performance.

Ye halted his 2007 hitGood Lifethree times and was reportedly upset by Vegas-style lighting and moving disco effects that he felt did not match the stage's aesthetic.

In aviral clip circulating online, Kanye told his crew from the stage, "Yo, pause, pause, pause. I don't like it when the lights move like that."

"It don't (sic) go with the stage. Don't do that," he added.

In another moment, he was heard over the microphone calling the lighting "corny" and questioning whether the situation was an "SNL skit."

West told his crew, "You see that, when it does that—don't do that. That s**t corny, yo. All right, run it back… What is this,like an 'SNL' skitor something?"

"Stop doing the vibrating Vegas lights, bro. We went over this in rehearsal."

At one point, he specifically instructed the crew to "put the Earth up," referring to the massive dome-shaped projection of a spinning globe, and asked them to "make the Earth move slower" to better fit the mood.

Kanye's highly anticipated return made headlines for his mid-show complaints about the stage lighting

In a surprise appearance, Ye's 12-year-old daughter, North West, whom he shares with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, joined himon stage.

The preteen performed several songs, highlighting her growing role as a musical collaborator in Kanye's new era.

North performed the fan-favorite trackTalkingfrom theVulturesalbum, along with her solo singlePiercing on My Hand.

The eldest of the West children appeared with blue hair in pigtails, wearing an all-black streetwear ensemble, oversized sunglasses, and a chunky skull-and-crossbones chain.

Following the release of his latest album, Kanye has embarked on a 2026 world tour, with upcoming performances including a highly anticipated debut in India and a major European stadium run.

In a historic move, West will headline all three nights of the Wireless Festival, marking his first UK performance in 11 years.

"I'd be a little more demure. And I would definitely have better shoes," wrote one social media user

Gulf kingdom of Bahrain cracks down on dissent as Iran war reignites internal unrest

A man detained in Bahrain last month as the island kingdom came undermissile attack from Iranvanished for days, until his family was called to retrieve his body from a military hospital.

Bahrain Crackdown

Relatives said Mohamed al-Mousawi, a Shiite Muslim who had previously been imprisoned, was saving money to start a business. His body was returned covered in slash marks and bruising, including on the soles of his feet.

His death has become a flashpoint in the Sunni-ruled, Shiite-majority country on the war's front lines, where critics say authorities have revived tactics used to suppressArab Spring protests in 2011.

Bahrain, a monarchy that hoststhe U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, has arrested dozens of people throughout the war for filming strikes and demonstrations, expressing support for Iran, and on suspicion of spying for it.

"They want to make sure nobody challenges the state's narrative and silence any voices not telling the story (of the war) how they want it to be told," said Sayed Ahmed AlWadaei of the London-based Bahrain Institute for Rights and Democracy.

Bahrain's Interior Ministry said al-Mousawi was arrested on suspicion of spying for Iran, allegations denied by his family, and that images of his wounds were "inaccurate and misleading." Bahrain's government said in a statement that the country is defending its national security. It denied any sectarianism, saying authorities have acted lawfully and that independent bodies investigate allegations of abuse.

Signs of torture

Al-Mousawi served about 11 years of a 21-year prison sentence on charges including arson and belonging to a terrorist cell before being released in 2024 as part ofa royal amnesty.

A relative and a close family friend, who spoke to AP on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisals, said al-Mousawi disappeared on March 19 after attending prayers with two friends who also have not been seen since. Rights groups have long accused Bahrain of enforced disappearances.

On March 27, his family received a call to collect his body. The relative, who saw it at the morgue, said al-Mousawi appeared to have been whipped with cables. He said there were apparent electrocution burns, including behind his knees, and cigarette burns elsewhere on the body.

The AP separately reviewed images of al-Mousawi's body, which bore marks described by a total of five witnesses who saw it in person. All spoke on condition of anonymity for fear of retribution.

Bahrain's Interior Ministry said al-Mousawi had been held by the National Security Agency. As part of reforms following the 2011 protests, the domestic spy service was stripped of its powers to arrest over abuse allegations. But they were restored in 2017 as Bahrain deepened a long-running campaign to suppress dissent.

The Interior Ministry said images of "injuries sustained by the deceased are inaccurate and misleading and have been deliberately disseminated to mislead public opinion," without elaborating.

The death certificate from the military hospital said he died of a heart attack. His family said the 32-year-old had no preexisting conditions.

Ahmed Banasr, a forensic expert with the New York-based Physicians for Human Rights, said the wounds in the images were consistent with blunt force trauma. Wounds on the soles of his feet help rule out other explanations, such as a fight or fall.

"The findings are highly consistent with alleged torture," he said.

War aggravates long-standing grievances

Al-Mousawi was among dozens of Bahraini Shiites ensnared in a crackdown that critics say has escalated since Israel and the U.S. launched the war against Iran on Feb. 28.

Rights groups see the arrests and al-Mousawi's death as a new phase in Bahrain's long-running campaign of repression that reached a peak in 2011 as pro-democracy uprisings swept the region. That year, the ruling Al Khalifa family crushed mass demonstrations with help from troops from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Periodic unrest has continued since, with the government casting the mostly Shiite protesters as Iranian proxies. Unlike other Sunni monarchies in the Gulf, Bahrain — like Iran — has a Shiite majority.

"It really remains to be seen how far the government is going to go in its crackdown on people," saidMaryam al-Khawaja, a Bahraini activist living abroad whose father is jailed in Bahrain. "What we're seeing right now is definitely a lot more heavy-handed than we have in the past few years."

Bahrain says it targets those who aid the enemy

Bahrain's government said its security measures are "a direct and proportionate response" to Iran's attacks.

"The individuals arrested include those who filmed military and strategic sites during an active attack on Bahraini territory, those who passed sensitive information, and those who publicly expressed support for a state that had just launched strikes against Bahraini soil," it said.

"To present arrests made on the basis of conduct as evidence of sectarian persecution and conflate the two — is a framing that we firmly and unequivocally reject," it added.

Since the war's start, at least 41 people — including migrant workers — have been arrested for sharing images of what authorities described as "Iranian aggression," or for expressing sympathy for it. Some are accused of treason — a charge that can carry a life sentence or the death penalty.

Bahrain has tallied more than 600 Iranian drone and missile strikes, which have killed at least two people and struck infrastructure, including a desalination plant, an oil refinery and an aluminum smelter. Iran has also repeatedly targeted the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet headquarters.

Some demonstrators have mourned the killing of Iran's Supreme LeaderAyatollah Ali Khameneiand celebrated strikes on Bahrain, according to videos seen by AP. They also show firebombs being thrown and cars set ablaze.

A father fears his son could be put to death

The day after the war began, 21-year-old Hussein Fatiil and a friend posted social media videos of themselves waving a poster of Iran's supreme leader at a protest outside the U.S. Embassy. Minutes later, plainclothes officers took them away in an unmarked car.

The men resurfaced hours later, calling home from a police station after being interrogated, Hussein's father, Naji Fatiil, told the AP.

Three days later, Hussein called his family again and said he'd been charged with five offenses, including misusing social media and inciting hatred and treason, his father said.

"The charges are extremely serious and exaggerate what happened," he said, adding his son said the protest outside the embassy was peaceful. "Now he might be charged with the most severe punishment. All I want is for my son to have a normal life and not be sentenced to death."

Cuba to free more than 2,000 prisoners as economic crisis deepens under US pressure

Cuba's government will free 2,010 prisoners in the largest such release in years, it announced Thursday, asthe island bucklesunder increasing pressure from the Trump administration.

The government decided to grant its pardon based on the inmates' good conduct, their health status, and the nature of their "acts committed," according to the notice in Granma, the ruling Communist Party's official newspaper.

It added that the prisoners included young people, women, people above 60 years old, and foreigners. The list does not include prisoners who committed crimes such as murder, homicide, sexual assault or "crimes against authority."

Cuba regularly detains and targets dissidents, including activists, journalists, protesters and political opponents, according to Human Rights Watch.

Havana has previously conducted sweeping prisoner releases as part of deals with international parties – for instance, in early 2025, Cuba released 553 prisoners after negotiations with the US and the Vatican, in which the Biden administration pledged to ease sanctions on the island.

US President Donald Trump rescinded the deal after taking office – prompting Cuba totemporarily pausethe prisoner release, before completing it in March.

The Granma statement made no mention of the US in its announcement, citing the release to "the religious celebrations of Holy Week" as Christians around the world celebrate Easter. But Cuba has been slammed by the Trump administration's pressure campaign, worsening the island's already-struggling economy.

Earlier this year, through military action in Venezuela and threats of tariffs on Mexico, the Trump administrationshut off the flow of oilto Cuba – attempting to strong-arm the communist-run island into making significant political and economic reforms.

Trump has insisted the Cuban government needs to finally open the island's centralized economy before it collapses. He hasfrequently talkedabout wanting to "take Cuba."

Many of Trump's political allies, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, are Cuba hawks who have long called for the overhaul of its communist leadership.

The island is now quickly running out of whatever oil it has left, which it uses to power vehicles and generate electricity – exacerbating along-running energy crisis.

The island was already prone to prolonged power outages, but those have gotten worse, with power plants lacking sufficient fuel to operate. In March, Cuba sufferedtwo nationwide blackoutsin just one week – leaving its more than 10 million people without power.

Life has ground to a halt, with classes suspended at many schools, workers furloughed to save energy, and flights from some places canceled because Cuba doesn't have enough jet fuel for long-haul flights.

Earlier this week, Trump allowed a Russian-flagged oil tanker into Cuban waters, breaking thefuel blockade,saying: "They have to survive." The White House afterward said this was "not a policy change."

Since Cuban revolutionaries led by Fidel Castro overthrew the US-backed regime of Fulgencio Batista in 1959, the country has been under a strict economic embargo from the US, blocking most commercial activity on the island involving Americans and creating significant legal barriers to any new investment.

Bruce Hornsby talks having Grateful Dead's Bob Weir on new album – 'That stuff hits hard'

Bruce Hornsbywasn't planning to write a new album. Or even new songs.

USA TODAY

After a nearly seven-year span from 2019, when he'd written more than 40 compositions for four records and collaborated with New York chamber sextetyMusic, Bon Iver frontmanJustin Vernonand Shins founderJames Mercer, he was, admittedly, burned out.

Then the "germ of an idea" for what would become the title track to his new album,"Indigo Park,"out now, infiltrated his brain.

"I was giving it the stiff arm for months and months," Hornsby, 71, says, chatting from the wood-paneled studio at his longtime scenic home in Williamsburg, Virginia ("My next move is into a pine box," he jokes).

But he couldn't quash the burgeoning song concept.

In addition to acknowledging the 40th anniversary of his biggest commercial hit, "The Way it Is," Bruce Hornsby releases the album "Indigo Park" April 3, 2026.

"It would wake me up in the middle of the night so I finally said, 'OK, I will take this deep dive and write the song'," Hornsby says. "A lot of this record could be called myRoger McGuinnrecord because the Rickenbacker 12-string is in full force."

Indeed, though Hornsby'sheady musicianship as a pianistis well-documented, he's also playing the electric 12-string guitar on the first five songs of what he calls "a pretty wild record."

Amusical adventureis expected from an artist who broke into the mainstream in 1986 with the philosophical jazz-pop smash"The Way It Is"(hardly typical MTV fodder), cowrote and played on Don Henley's"The End of the Innocence,"toured for a couple of years with The Grateful Dead, composed numerous scores for Spike Lee's films and worked with artists including Chaka Khan, Stevie Nicks, Robbie Robertson and Bonnie Raitt.

The latter adds to the electronic-spiked, beat-propelled"Ecstatic,"while Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig guests on the sprightly "Memory Palace" and late Grateful Dead stalwart Bob Weir adds his unconventional style to "Might As Well Be Me, Florinda."

The cerebral Hornsby – who willtour most of the yearstarting April 9 with his band The Noisemakers – delved into how "The Way It Is" still resonates, working with Weir and Raitt on"Indigo Park", and why hallway-walking is his fallback exercise.

(This interview has been edited for length and clarity.)

Bruce Hornsby releases his latest album, "Indigo Park," April 3, 2026.

Question: Before we talk about the new album, it's the 40thanniversary of "The Way It Is." When you wrote the lyrics"some things will never change," what were you thinking about?

Bruce Hornsby: I was just reflecting on my upbringing, growing up in a small, Upper South Town where those narrow-minded attitudes prevailed. That's how I grew up. It's referenced in a sort of interesting way on this new record on "Silhouette Shadows," which is a look-back song. The last verse is about where I was and what happened when Kennedy was assassinated. (Recites lyrics) "The kids erupted in glee/shouting 'Hooray, Nixon can take over'/Ms. Nimmo jumped their ass and tore 'em down/I was really alarmed and confused/watching the children parroting parents' views." And that was sort of Exhibit A of the pervasive mindset in Williamsburg, Virginia, at that time and "The Way It Is" is sort of another version of that.

And the song has lived on.

It seems to be a song set up for the ages, and that's lucky me. The hip-hop community's embrace of ("The Way It Is") plays no small part. Tupac's is of course the most notable(1998's "Changes"). But hell, in 2021, the great Chicago young rapper, Polo G, did an amazing version called"Wishing for a Hero."It was basically his homage to Tupac, but then (laughs), it's my song. But he had a beautiful gospel choir. So it's still being sort of refreshed in that way.

Is it the one song you can't take out of your set list?

Well, occasionally I won't do it. And the reason I won't do it is that we're up there and the place is so deeply involved and so intensely demonstrative about (the music) that I go, well, you know, we don't need to play this tonight because (the audience) is so ready to receive what we're doing now. But invariably I'll get a nasty Facebook or Instagram screed from some fan, quote, unquote, who's not really a fan, but …

He knows your hits.

Exactly. I understand that. But I'm not going to be a prisoner to that idea, that I have to be that guy who plays those old songs. I could never do that. I'd rather teach driver's ed than do that.

Bruce Hornsby's new album, "Indigo Park," includes guest appearances from Bonnie Raitt and Bob Weir.

What's the backstory on getting Bob Weir on "Might As Well Be Me, Florinda"?

I ran into him at theRobbie Robertson tribute concertat The Forum in Los Angeles (in October 2024) a few months after he had passed. It was a wonderful night and we were hanging out in this bus and I thought, "hmm, this might be a good match, Bobby and this song." So I told him I had this song I wrote with (longtime Grateful Dead collaborator Robert Hunter) and if you hear yourself singing on it, great. He went, "Send it to me. Yeah, maybe. Oh, forget it, I'm in." It was so funny, so great. We finally got it to him in May last year and he sent us this wild vocal. His vocal is crazy.

It's so him.

It really was just perfect. And that was really lucky. You never know when you ask somebody to perform for you what it will be like when you get it back … We called and gave him all the laudatory remarks and then he went off to do the Dead & CompanyGolden Gate Park concerts. I was hearing little rumblings about some health challenges that he was dealing with, then I didn't hear anything else and all of a sudden, wham, in January, I get the call abouthis passing. That stuff hits hard because you're not expecting it. So I feel fortunate and so happy we have this last little recorded document that might be the last thing he recorded.

It's also great to hear Bonnie Raitt's voice on "Ecstatic." You played on her"I Can't Make You Love Me,"and the last time you were on record together was for your 1993 "Harbor Lights" album. Why was this the ideal song for her?

I thought that it wasnot her standard wheelhouse. Stylistically, it's not a bluesy thing. I did give her one blues thing and she said, "Hey, thanks, at least I've gone this one thing where I can lay into a blues note." (Hornsby sings) "I'm committed to the unseen" – it's that line. So I thought if she was feeling adventurous that this would be something fun for her. Bonnie, I feel like she's my big sister in music. We've been so close. We'll get on the phone and talk for an hour, often.

Let's talk about the upcoming tour. You've spent so much of your career on the road. Do you still tolerate it well?

I hate it. Well, tolerate, yeah, and here's why. It's 2-2 1/2 hours of playing that is great fun. I always say it's more fun than anything you can do outside of a bed and that's still true. But the other 21 hours, the long bus rides, the overnight rides when you're in the bunk and you're being jostled by the funky road. Who likes that? I mean, Bob Dylan probably likes it (laughs) because he's done this never-ending tour for 20-25-years plus. So that's my conflicted feeling about the road. Love the playing. The rest you can have.

Do you try to get out and go for a walk or do something to break the monotony when you're traveling?

I have my routine and it includes a walk. I'm also good at hall walking when it's terrible weather.

You mentioned that you also do that at home when it's too cold to go outside.

Yeah, although in my house I don't have maids looking at me going, who is this tall, goofy guy who keeps passing by?

Is 'The Drama' with Zendaya, Robert Pattinson safe for teens to see?

Spoiler alert! The following story contains major details about the plot twist of "The Drama."

USA TODAY

Save the date for the most polarizing film of the year.

"The Drama" (in theaters April 3) has been marketed as an offbeat romantic comedy about a woman named Emma (Zendaya) who, during a wine-fueled game with friends, reveals a horrible secret that makes her fiancé, Charlie (Robert Pattinson), question whether he's marrying a sociopath. The unsettling revelation is even darker than anything that Zendaya has been asked to do on her HBO series "Euphoria," and will most certainly shock fans who have been following the A-lister since her Disney Channel and "Spider-Man" days.

Here's everything that parents need to know about "The Drama," and whether it's safe for kids and teens to see:

What is the twist in 'The Drama' movie?

Emma (Zendaya) is partially deaf after firing a gun too close to her ear in "The Drama."

Written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli ("Dream Scenario"), the pitch-black satire follows Emma and Charlie in the week leading up to their wedding. Late one drunken night, she makes the disquieting revelation that at age 15, she was ruthlessly bullied and planned a school shooting. But just as Emma was about to carry out her attack, there was another mass shooting at a local shopping mall that killed a student.

Emma's shaken classmates welcome her in, and she's soon recruited into a gun violence prevention group – effectively burying her brutal inclinations. But when Charlie eventually discovers her past, he's forced to ask himself whether it's OK to wed someone who could even conceive of doing such a terrible thing.

What is 'The Drama' rated?

The film has been rated R by the Motion Picture Association for language, sexual content and some violence.

What age is 'The Drama' appropriate for?

Charlie (Robert Pattinson, left) starts to see Emma (Zendaya) in a whole new light after learning about her dark past.

We would have to side with the Motion Picture Association here and advise that you should be 17 or older to see the film. The movie deals with extremely serious subject matter, with multiple flashbacks to a younger version of Emma, who is physically and verbally bullied during high school.

There are sequences of teenage Emma practicing shooting her gun outside, walking around her house with a rifle and filming a suicide manifesto. During the video, she uses explicit language as she lists off the names of her classmates, saying that one girl will be the first to die.

In an earlier scene, Emma's friend, Rachel (Alana Haim), confesses that she once locked a developmentally disabled kid in a closet and left him there, which prompted a search party to find him. Charlie, too, ultimately gets fed up with Emma and decides to cheat on her with his assistant (Hailey Benton Gates).

"The Drama" is both macabre and morally complex, and could be triggering in a variety of ways for teenagers. If your kid does indeed go see the film, it would be prudent for parents to start a discussion about it and welcome any questions that they might have.

ZendayaandRobert Pattinsonattend the Los Angelespremiere of A24's "The Drama"at DGA Theater Complex on March 17, 2026, in Los Angeles.Theromantic comedy, written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli, tells the story of a "happily engaged couple," whose union is "put to the test when an unexpected revelation sends their wedding week off the rails," according to the film'sIMDb page.

The sex scenes themselves are relatively brief. In the opening montage, Charlie enthusiastically describes to his friend, Mike (Mamoudou Athie), how much he likes having sex with Emma, and there is a quick flash of the couple in the throes of passion.

Later, after learning that Emma planned a mass shooting, she starts to slap Charlie's face mid-coitus and he worries that her violent fantasies extend to the bedroom. Charlie masturbates and almost has sex with his assistant at their office, but the encounter is hasty and they remain fully clothed.

And although the images themselves aren't explicit, Charlie at one point does flip through an art book featuring lingerie-clad women holding guns, and he begins to imagine Emma in similarly skimpy garb as she straddles a rifle.

Is there violence in 'The Drama' with Zendaya and Robert Pattinson?

A wedding photographer (Zoë Winters) is blissfully unaware of her clients' matrimonial drama.

Most of the violence is purely talked about, although Charlie does have grisly stress dreams, of sorts, about Emma as a potential killer. In one nightmarish sequence, she starts bleeding from the ear while they're in the middle of dinner. And in another gruesome moment, there is a frightening shot of dozens of wedding guests covered in blood, with bodies strewn across a banquet hall.

There is also gallows humor. In one scene that's played for laughs, Charlie can't stop fixating on how many times the wedding photographer says she is going to "shoot" their family and friends. Later, as they are having portraits taken, Charlie imagines that he is going on a series of dates with a joyful, teenage Emma.

When will 'The Drama' be released?

"The Drama" will be in theaters on April 3. No streaming release date has been announced yet.
