Who is Andreina Santos on Love Island USA Season 7? All About Model and New Bombshell in Villa
Andreina Santos is the latest Bombshell to join Love Island USA Season 7, and fans are eager to know more about the model. She entered the villa after a tense recoupling, making her arrival all the more dramatic. While most of the current islanders are settled into their couples, Andreina's entrance could shake things up as she looks for a connection. Andreina Santos is already making an impression with her confident attitude and glamorous presence. Originally from the United States, Andreina has traveled extensively thanks to her modeling career. She has partnered with several fashion brands and often shares her work on social media. Her Instagram, @andreinasntos, features styled photoshoots, runway moments, and glimpses into her life as a model. Andreina faces competition from Huda after recoupling Coming into the villa at this stage means Andreina is competing for attention, especially since most of the male contestants are already paired up. One of the only other singles in the villa is Huda Mustafa, who recently split from Jeremiah Brown. With both women interested in getting to know fellow new Bombshell TJ Palma, some rivalry may be unavoidable. Despite the pressure, Andreina seems ready for the challenge. She fits in well with the rest of the Love Island USA Season 7 cast, who are mostly in their 20s and have backgrounds in modeling and influencing. At 24, Andreina is on the younger side of the group but brings plenty of experience and drive. Here's what you should know about Andreina's career Before joining Love Island USA, Andreina had already established herself in the modeling world. She's walked in fashion shows, worked with global brands, and built a strong online presence, as per ScreenRant. While she hasn't shared much about her education, she's been open about balancing school with her modeling work. Many former islanders have pursued influencer careers after the show, and Andreina is well-positioned to follow in their footsteps. With a strong sense of style and branding, she knows how to market herself and is likely to gain more followers during her time on the show. It's still early in Andreina's journey on Love Island USA Season 7, but fans are curious to see who she connects with and how she handles the upcoming challenges. Whether she finds romance or not, Andreina is already standing out as a confident, stylish, and focused new islander.

NSG Drops 'Bombshell': Sharp Rise In Explosives Pilferage, Deadlier Devices
Last Updated: From 2020 to 2024, the use of high explosives in India has increased from 62 per cent to 89 per cent, the report reviewed by News18 reveals In a worrying turn for India's internal security, the year 2024 has witnessed a surprise rise in IED blast incidents, with a shocking 89% of attacks involving high explosives, according to the NSG's newly released 'Bombshell', a national counter-terror analysis report. The report has been reviewed by News18, which has the most elaborate, detailed, and authentic data on bomb-related incidents in India and abroad. From 2020 to 2024, the use of high explosives has increased from 62 per cent to 89 per cent. While top security grid officials are sounding the alarm as Jammu & Kashmir and the Rest of India (ROI) emerge as the new epicentre of high-impact IED terrorism, signalling a dangerous shift in insurgent strategy towards more lethal, powerful attacks. The officials are saying that the implications are grave. With increased access to bomb-making materials and rising use of military-grade explosives, India faces a growing threat landscape. The transition from low to high explosives represents not just an operational evolution but a strategic escalation. High Explosives Dominate Out of 104 total IED incidents in 2024, a staggering 93 were carried out using high explosives, compared to just 11 using low explosives. This marks the most explosive year in recent memory, with the use of high explosives surging from 62% in 2020 to a terrifying 89% in 2024. In 2023, the use of high explosives was 86%. 'The overall trend from 2020 (38% low, 62% high) to 2024 indicates an increased reliance on high explosives, suggesting a shift towards more sophisticated and lethal devices. It also hints towards increased pilferage of high explosives," a top official told News18 while quoting the report. This shift signals a deliberate escalation in the lethality and sophistication of IED attacks, with insurgent groups opting for maximum destruction and chaos. J&K and Other Parts: The New Danger Zones In Jammu & Kashmir, 94% of IED blasts (15 out of 16) were carried out using high explosives. On the other side, in the Rest of India, 64% of IED attacks (16 out of 25) used high explosives. Even the Northeast saw a complete shift, with 100% of IEDs being high explosive. 'In 2024, explosive usage across different zones shows a clear preference for high explosives… All 55 incidents in LWE involved high explosives. The Northeast (NE) saw 94% high explosive use. Similarly, in Jammu & Kashmir (J&K), 88%, and ROI 64% of incidents involved high explosives," the official said, quoting the report. Terror groups are increasingly turning to more destructive weaponry, posing a direct threat to both civilians and security forces in urban and semi-urban areas. As India is trying to understand this alarming shift, senior officials in central intelligence and investigation agencies stress the urgent need for enhanced intelligence, robust counter-IED tactics, and stronger civilian protection protocols.

‘Smash' abruptly announces final show after Tony Awards drama in Broadway shocker
Behind every musical is a hot mess. 'Smash,' the Broadway play that opened at the Imperial Theatre on April 10, has abruptly announced its final show date after struggling at the box office and suffering a 2025 Tony Awards shutout. Executive producers Steven Spielberg, Robert Greenblatt and Neil Meron made the closing announcement on Tuesday. Playbill confirmed that the comedy's final show date will be June 22 after a total of 32 previews and just 84 regular performances. 6 'Smash' has abruptly announced its final show date after struggling at the box office and suffering a 2025 Tony Awards shutout.

Matthew Murphy Inspired by the canceled NBC series of the same name, 'Smash' is a musical about the making of a musical. Directed by Susan Stroman and featuring music by Marc Shaiman, it follows a group of theater artists as they try to create a Broadway production about Marilyn Monroe called 'Bombshell.' But the box office numbers were not in the play's favor, and the New York Times reported that the meta musical's weekly grosses were down from $1 million at its peak to $656K the week ending June 8. 6 Directed by Susan Stroman and featuring music by Marc Shaiman, 'Smash' follows a group of theater artists as they try to create a Broadway production about Marilyn Monroe called 'Bombshell.' Matthew Murphy The outlet also reported that $20 million was invested to bringing 'Smash' in Broadway to life, and so far, that money has not been recouped. This marks the first Broadway production to shutter after leaving empty-handed at the 2025 Tony Awards on Sunday.

Matthew Murphy Spielberg, Greenblatt, and Meron's decision to close the musical after less than three months of regular performances comes after some behind-the-scenes drama unfolded at the Tonys. Both 'Smash' and 'Boop! The Betty Boop Musical' were left fuming because the award show's producers refused to let either play perform during the three-hour broadcast on CBS Sunday night. 'It's bizarre,' one Broadway producer said, although neither 'Smash' nor 'Boop!' was nominated for Best Musical this year. 6 Although 'Smash' was nominated for both Best Choreography and Best Featured Actor at the 2025 Tony Awards, it didn't win either. Matthew Murphy The Post exclusively confirmed that both productions were willing to pay the $300K that a Tony Awards appearance costs but were still rejected by the award show's producers. Spielberg, Greenblatt and Meron first announced that 'Smash' was heading to Broadway in 2020, seven years after the NBC series ended in 2013 after just two seasons. The trio also served as producers of the original show. 6 'Smash' was inspired by the canceled NBC series of the same name. Bruce Glikas/FilmMagic ''Smash' is near and dear to my heart, and it was always my hope that a musical inspired by the show would eventually come to the stage,' Spielberg, 78, said in 2023. 'We think we've come up with something the die-hard series fans will love but that will also be exciting for people who never saw an episode of the show,' Meron, 69, added. 'And above all else,' he continued, 'it will be a valentine to the Broadway musical and the exhilarating rollercoaster ride of bringing one to life.'

Sole aim of terrorism is to spread fear and destabilise societies: Nityanand Rai
New Delhi, June 10 (UNI) Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai said on Tuesday that the sole aim of terrorism is to spread fear and destabilise societies across the world and therefore it must be decisively defeated. Speaking at the 23rd NSG International Seminar here, he said that terrorism has become the most serious threat to global peace, development, and human rights. "It is our experience that to completely defeat terrorism, we need more than just military action. Global cooperation is essential. Countries must come together, share intelligence, and expose the motives and mechanisms of terrorists to dismantle their networks effectively," Rai said. Highlighting the cross-border nature of terrorism, the Minister noted that it is not confined to the geographical boundaries of any one nation. "The challenge is national, regional, and global. Anyone who does not oppose terrorism is also a party to it," he warned. Rai further asserted that terrorism should be recognised as a universal threat, regardless of where it strikes — be it India, Israel, the United States, or Europe. "If the global community truly wishes to defeat terrorism, it must identify and confront all its manifestations without bias or exception," he added. Reaffirming India's unwavering commitment to the global fight against terrorism, Rai said, "India, as a responsible democratic nation and is fully committed to cooperating in global anti-terrorism efforts—whether under the framework of the United Nations, through bilateral engagements, or other international initiatives." "India has always been a strong partner in the fight against terrorism and will continue to play this role with full determination," he added. Describing the National Security Guard (NSG) as a strong pillar of national and internal security, Rai said the organisation has made the country proud on numerous occasions—whether in combating terrorism, handling plane hijackings, or assisting citizens during natural calamities. He further added that they have faced every challenge with unwavering determination. On the occasion, Memorandum of Understanding between NSG and state polce forces was signed and the annual magazine of the organisation titled Bombshell was also released. Present on the occasion were Home Secretary Govind Mohan, Director General of NSG Brighu Srinivasan and Director, Intelligence Bureau Tapan Deka. The two-day seminar will serve as a multi-domain platform for global and national experts to deliberate on evolving counter-terrorism challenges and cooperative responses. This year's seminar is centred around the vision 'Forging Collaboration and Innovation to Counter terror Threats and Address the Complexities of Modern Terrorism.' Initially, Union Home Minister Amit Shah was supposed to be the chief guest of the event but due to some urgent commitments, he could not attend. UNI RBE PRS
