Simu Liu announces engagement to girlfriend Allison Hsu
'Barbie' actor and Marvel star Simu Liu has announced his engagement to girlfriend Allison Hsu.
The Chinese-Canadian actor, who was Marvel's first Asian superhero and played a Ken doll in the 2023 hit 'Barbie' movie, shared a series of romantic snaps on Instagram Sunday.
'Us forever,' Hsu wrote in a joint post, followed by a string of diamond ring and white heart emojis.
Often dubbed the 'city of love,' the pair shared several photos taken in Paris against the backdrop of the city's skyline, with Hsu sporting an impressive diamond ring.
'From weekends in Paris, day trips to Palm Springs, long nights on set, afternoons vegging on the couch and everything in between, I choose you forever and always,' Liu told his 3 million followers.
Hsu replied, declaring: 'I love you fiancé!!!!!!!!!!'
The pair were first thought to be officially dating in late 2022 when they attended the premiere of action-comedy 'Violent Night' together in Los Angeles, California.
Around the same time, Hsu posted a picture on Instagram of the pair cuddling.
Speaking in December 2022 about what he admired about his partner, Liu told People that Hsu was 'a badass, she's a fighter and she's very, very passionate about all things in life, her work, her job, and her other things.'
'And that's a language that I speak very well, and I am happy to see where it goes,' he said at the time.
Liu rose to international fame after his starring role in 2021 Marvel movie 'Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings.'
More recently, the actor appeared as a guest star and investor on an episode of CBC's 'Dragons' Den.' During his time on the show, he raised questions about cultural appropriation after the owners of a Canadian bubble tea company appeared on the 'Shark-Tank'-style series, seeking an investment.

Gnarly and fierce zombie sequel 28 Years Later was worth the decades-long wait
28 Years Later Directed by Danny Boyle Written by Alex Garland Starring Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Ralph Fiennes Classification 14A; 115 minutes Opens in theatres June 20 Critic's Pick It hasn't quite been 28 years since director Danny Boyle and writer Alex Garland breathed new terrifying life into the walking dead – by making them run like banshees out of hell. Their 2002 lo-fi apocalyptic thriller, 28 Days Later, which had Cillian Murphy scampering through the wreckage of London's Piccadilly Circus, not a soul in sight, stumbled into the post-9/11 moment with a story about a country decimated by a weaponized virus. Boyle and Garland, who only served as executive producers on the 2007 sequel (its story about U.S. occupation speaking directly to the Iraq War), are reunited in 28 Years Later. And if, like me, you expected them to double down on the relevance in a post-Brexit, post-COVID and war-addled moment, you'd be mistaken. 2025 summer movie preview: Superman, and a dozen other big-screen heroes, to the rescue There's room for those inevitable associations, for sure, but they're not insistent. Instead, this thrilling and effective reboot, a promising sign of what's to come, is happy to keep all that lightly baked-in while crafting a story more intimate and surprisingly emotional. Don't worry. If you're here for the gnarly splatter fest this franchise is known for, rest assured there are plenty bodies impaled or gnawed at, and even skulls ripped right from the neck, the spine dangling along as if the filmmakers are cribbing from Sub-Zero's finishing move in the Mortal Kombat video games. But at its heart, 28 Years Later is a Stephen King-esque coming-of-age story where death becomes a rite of passage for a child who is surrounded by the undead, anchored by young star Alfie Williams's tender and revelatory performance. His Spike, a 12-year-old boy whose fierce determination is at war with his intense vulnerability, is raised on a quarantined island. The only connection to the British mainland is a well-guarded bridge that can only be crossed at low tide. Negating the international viral spread promised at the end of its predecessor, 28 Years Later depicts a world that has successfully quarantined the pandemic to the U.K. Modern tech such as iPhones and social media have never touched Spike's island, a disconnect that sets up some of the funniest exchanges at the movie's halfway point. Instead, Spike's tight-knit community has reverted back to bows and arrows and working the land – and making raucous pub nights a tribal custom whenever a young lad becomes a man by venturing to the mainland to kill his first infected. What to watch this weekend: The Gilded Age on Crave has costume drama competition on Apple TV+ and BritBox We meet Spike and his father, Jamie (Aaron Taylor-Johnson), when they take part in that ritual, navigating the mainland where the infected come in various states of deterioration. There are the slow crawlers, who slurp worms from the ground like appetizers before approaching human prey, alongside the more traditional fast runners. And then there's an Alpha, an evolved leader of the pack who is quicker, stronger and more tactical. Spike and Jamie's tour, scouring for the infected, is rather light on emotional stakes. But Boyle, forever a kinetic filmmaker and stylist, keeps things interesting with a jarring and haunting soundscape scraping together rhythmic radio transmissions from the past and accompanied by scattered archival images from British history – mostly past wars and war movies – disrupting the relative calm and keeping our nerves in a frenzy. When the infected do attack, and Spike and Jamie respond with their arrows, every kill shot is suddenly frozen, the camera rapidly swivelling around to a new position to absorb the violence. It's the visual equivalent of a record scratch Boyle hits maybe one too many times. Just when a sense of familiarity begins to kick in, 28 Years Later really gets going. After narrowly surviving his virgin expedition, Spike leaves the island once again, this time on a mission to save his mother (a brilliant Jodie Comer). The best summer movies of all time, according to our readers She's deteriorating, not from the infection but a different illness ravaging her body and mental state. He's escorting her to find a doctor known to be living in the deadly terrain, whom the islanders speak of in Colonel Kurtz terms. That doctor is played by Ralph Fiennes (crafty as ever), who we find covered head to toe in phosphorescent orange paste, surrounding himself with towers built from skulls and bones, underlining the playful Apocalypse Now references. 28 Years Later patiently builds up to these moments, during which the apocalyptic stakes are eclipsed by the warmth between the characters – their nurturing and protective instincts desperately clinging to joy, levity and the most comforting way to approach death. Boyle, who won the Best Director Oscar for Slumdog Millionaire, has often let his sentimental side get the best of him. But here there's a maturity, gracefulness and elegance to how he hits those notes, though they're nearly undone by a goofy but admittedly fun coda setting up the series' next instalment. There's more carnage to come in this franchise where days turned to weeks, and then years, and the end persistently seems to be right around the corner (not just in the movies, mind you). 28 Years Later at least got me optimistic about what's next.

France made smoking sexy. Now it's banning the habit in public spaces
The country that made smoking look glamorous, sexy and cool is now going further than most in trying to stamp out the habit. As of July 1, France will ban smoking in nearly all public spaces, including parks, beaches, public gardens and bus stops. Violations carry a fine of as much as €135, or $212, and just about the only exceptions are France's iconic café terraces and electronic cigarettes. It's all part of a move by the country's Health Ministry to address second-hand smoke anywhere near children. 'Tobacco is poison: it kills, it costs money, it pollutes. And above all, it targets our young people,' Health Minister Catherine Vautrin said in a statement last month as she announced the new restrictions. She added: 'Our goal is clear: a generation without tobacco. And we have the means to achieve it.' Polls show the ban has widespread support, and the number of people who smoke in France has fallen to historic lows – less than 25 per cent of adults light up. Blowing smoke: Big Tobacco is getting a whole new generation hooked on nicotine But for some it's still hard to imagine France going smokeless after decades of romanticizing cigarettes in film, fashion and culture. The image of smokey Parisian cafés filled with stylish people chatting over cigarettes has been ingrained in our consciousness. And who can forget Brigitte Bardot or Catherine Deneuve lounging seductively in countless films, a cigarette dangling from their lips? Or fashion icon Coco Chanel, who reportedly smoked 50 cigarettes a day? 'The ban won't work,' said Giovanni Vannomi as he took a drag on a cigarette last week during a break from his job as a tour guide at the Louvre. 'If they try to enforce it, they are going to start another revolution here.' Over in the Tuileries Garden, Laila Alem sat on a patch of grass with three friends, each of them enjoying the warm spring evening and a newly lit cigarette. She too was dead set against the restriction. 'I understand if it's for the children and near schools. But here, there is a big space. I don't understand why the ban is everywhere, like all the parks and not only near the children's area,' Ms. Alem said, thrusting her cigarette forward to make a point. Sitting across from her, James Balde waved off her concerns and said the ban made sense and might even force him to stop smoking. 'It's a good idea,' he said. 'On July 1, I will quit smoking.' But he was not convinced that many French smokers will comply. 'If you come back on July 2 or July 10, or even next year, people will be smoking here. If you don't have a policeman or security, they won't stop.' Next to him, Catherine Guyot had a more cynical assessment of the motivation behind the ban. 'The government just needs money, that's why,' she said, referring to the fines. She also doubted that any of them would stop smoking. 'We all smoke a lot,' she said. Across from the garden, Anthony Fontaine was far more upbeat about the measure. 'I don't think it's a bad idea,' he said as he enjoyed a cigarette while sitting on a bench outside the Louvre. 'It's going to be complicated to make it effective, especially for the French. But other than that, it's pretty positive, just to keep parks clean from those who don't really dispose of their cigarettes where they should.' France isn't the only European country taking a tougher line on smoking. Spain is close to adopting regulations to ban both smoking and vaping from school playgrounds, university campuses, bus shelters, outdoor entertainment venues and terraces. The Italian city of Milan has extended its already strict outdoor ban to include streets and crowded public areas. And the British Parliament is expected to approve legislation soon that the government says will create the first smoke-free generation by making it illegal for anyone 15 or younger to ever buy cigarettes. Not surprisingly, the tobacco industry has pushed back. Cigarette makers argue sweeping prohibitions are ineffective and say it's not clear that smoking in parks or on beaches poses a major health risk to non-smokers. Smokers visiting France this summer won't be immune from the ban or the fine, and many may find the restrictions something of a shock. Margarita Pidrasa, who was visiting Paris from Santiago, last week, was incredulous when told that she and her husband, Alberto Labbe, would soon be unable to smoke in the square outside the Louvre. 'Where are the signs that say this?' she asked as she looked around the giant space. They both agreed with the government's desire to protect children, but felt tourists should be better informed about the penalty. Even if there were a 'No Smoking' sign around, Mr. Labbe said, he probably would still fire up an illicit smoke in the park or on the beach. 'No, I will keep smoking,' he said with a smile as he finished off a cigarette while standing under a shady tree. Then he dropped the butt in the dirt, ground it with his foot and headed off with his wife to rejoin their tour group.

Music streaming service Deezer adds AI song tags in fight against fraud
The music streaming services Deezer's logo is pictured at the company headquarters, in Paris, France, Monday, Nov. 9, 2015. (AP Photo/Thibault Camus) LONDON — Music streaming service Deezer said Friday that it will start flagging albums with AI-generated songs, part of its fight against streaming fraudsters. Deezer, based in Paris, is grappling with a surge in music on its platform created using artificial intelligence tools it says are being wielded to earn royalties fraudulently. The app will display an on-screen label warning about 'AI-generated content' and notify listeners that some tracks on an album were created with song generators. Deezer is a small player in music streaming, which is dominated by Spotify, Amazon and Apple, but the company said AI-generated music is an 'industry-wide issue.' It's committed to 'safeguarding the rights of artists and songwriters at a time where copyright law is being put into question in favor of training AI models,' CEO Alexis Lanternier said in a press release. Deezer's move underscores the disruption caused by generative AI systems, which are trained on the contents of the internet including text, images and audio available online. AI companies are facing a slew of lawsuits challenging their practice of scraping the web for such training data without paying for it. According to an AI song detection tool that Deezer rolled out this year, 18% of songs uploaded to its platform each day, or about 20,000 tracks, are now completely AI generated. Just three months earlier, that number was 10%, Lanternier said in a recent interview. AI has many benefits but it also 'creates a lot of questions' for the music industry, Lanternier told The Associated Press. Using AI to make music is fine as long as there's an artist behind it but the problem arises when anyone, or even a bot, can use it to make music, he said. Music fraudsters 'create tons of songs. They upload, they try to get on playlists or recommendations, and as a result they gather royalties,' he said. Musicians can't upload music directly to Deezer or rival platforms like Spotify or Apple Music. Music labels or digital distribution platforms can do it for artists they have contracts with, while anyone else can use a 'self service' distribution company. Fully AI-generated music still accounts for only about 0.5% of total streams on Deezer. But the company said it's 'evident' that fraud is 'the primary purpose' for these songs because it suspects that as many as seven in 10 listens of an AI song are done by streaming 'farms' or bots, instead of humans. Any AI songs used for 'stream manipulation' will be cut off from royalty payments, Deezer said. AI has been a hot topic in the music industry, with debates swirling around its creative possibilities as well as concerns about its legality. Two of the most popular AI song generators, Suno and Udio, are being sued by record companies for copyright infringement, and face allegations they exploited recorded works of artists from Chuck Berry to Mariah Carey. Gema, a German royalty-collection group, is suing Suno in a similar case filed in Munich, accusing the service of generating songs that are 'confusingly similar' to original versions by artists it represents, including 'Forever Young' by Alphaville, 'Daddy Cool' by Boney M and Lou Bega's 'Mambo No. 5.' Major record labels are reportedly negotiating with Suno and Udio for compensation, according to news reports earlier this month. To detect songs for tagging, Lanternier says Deezer uses the same generators used to create songs to analyze their output. 'We identify patterns because the song creates such a complex signal. There is lots of information in the song,' Lanternier said. The AI music generators seem to be unable to produce songs without subtle but recognizable patterns, which change constantly. 'So you have to update your tool every day,' Lanternier said. 'So we keep generating songs to learn, to teach our algorithm. So we're fighting AI with AI.' Fraudsters can earn big money through streaming. Lanternier pointed to a criminal case last year in the U.S., which authorities said was the first ever involving artificially inflated music streaming. Prosecutors charged a man with wire fraud conspiracy, accusing him of generating hundreds of thousands of AI songs and using bots to automatically stream them billions of times, earning at least US$10 million.
