Jeon Somi is poised to make a comeback with a digital single in July, local media reported Thursday. Her agency The Black Label confirmed the news report on Friday, adding that she will put out the track 'Extra' on July 7.

Damson Idris accidentally 'spat in Brad Pitt's face'
Damson Idris accidentally "spat in Brad Pitt's face" on the set of F1. The 33-year-old actor stars alongside Brad, 61, in the new motorsport film, and Damson has opened up about the challenges of shooting one particularly "rageful" scene in the movie. During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, he shared: "It's so funny working with Brad. He's such a beautiful human being, such a giving actor. And we once did a scene where I had to scream in his face, and it was like the biggest scene for me. I was so nervous. "In between the takes, I spat in Brad Pitt's face. It was an accident. It was a rageful scene." Damson was amazed by how Brad handled the incident. The actor - who plays Brad's on-screen rival in the movie - recalled: "He kept going, and in my head I'm like, 'Oh my gosh. I just spat on Brad Pitt's face.' I was like, 'I'm going to lose my job now.' And I watched the spit the whole take, it was just there dribbling down." Meanwhile, Brad recently admitted that he craved the approval of motorsport fans while filming F1. The Hollywood star plays a Formula One driver in the new racing film, and Brad admits that having the support of sports fans means "everything" to him. He told Extra: "If we didn't pass their bar, then we were dead, you know? "And to get that kind of, I don't know, response means a lot to us, because we have, again, so much respect for these drivers, for this sport, for everyone, the teams, everything they put into it. They made the movie too. They're a big part of the film." Brad was always confident that the Joseph Kosinski-directed movie would win over the sceptics. He explained: "I felt pretty confident in what we have. "You know, I feel like we successfully thread this needle that's for longtime fans that really understand the sport as well as newcomers, and they understood that was our goal, and, I don't know, I think they had fun too. I think it's just fun. It's really good fun."

Keke Palmer: Music is a vehicle of expression for me
Keke Palmer shares "more than [she] usually would" on her new album. The 31-year-old star has worked in the entertainment industry from an early age, but she's more candid than ever on her new record, Just Keke. Speaking to Extra, Keke shared: "Growing up being a child entertainer with Disney and Nickelodeon, I think for me was really about setting the stage for what it means to be a product and a performer and a brand and using that as a vehicle to address the parasocial relationship, and then kind of the glitch that is the album where I share a little bit more than I usually would … because of everything that's happened in my life thus far." Keke explores her break-up from fitness instructor Darius Jackson on the new album. She explained: "Music is a vehicle and it's an art form that allows you to express yourself in those deep kind of ways." Keke found recording the album to be an emotional experience. The singer - who split from Darius in acrimonious circumstances in 2023 - explained: "The reliving it wasn't difficult but addressing the emotions in the carnage … that it left was because I think I brushed it up in the corner and just let it sit and I was like, 'I moved on from it' … but when I got into the studio and actually had to look at the pile of trash in the corner, I realised how much grief it caused me and how heavy it was." Meanwhile, Keke previously admitted that she struggled to deal with childhood stardom. The movie star - who made her acting debut in Barbershop 2: Back in Business back in 2004 - admitted that she didn't know how to deal with the pressures of fame and success during her younger years. She said on her Baby, This Is Keke Palmer podcast: "No one could relate to me - not my siblings, not even my parents. Anytime a dynamic is shifted like that it can get highly toxic, because no one knows how to deal with the trauma of being a celebrity, or having a celebrity child."

Libyan Forces Thwart Major Drug Operation
Libya's Anti-Narcotics and Psychotropic Substances Bureau has thwarted an attempted drug trafficking operation in the Al-Kish area of Benghazi, seizing a significant quantity of narcotics during a high-stakes security operation. According to an official statement, the Special Task Force received a credible tip-off about the activities of a known suspect, identified by the initials 'H.Z.,' who is allegedly involved in drug distribution networks across the city. In a carefully planned sting operation, an undercover informant—monitored by security personnel—contacted the suspect and arranged a drug handover near the Gulf Company premises in exchange for a cash payment. Security units swiftly executed a well-coordinated ambush at the agreed location. Shortly after, an individual appeared carrying a plastic bag and approached the informant to finalize the deal. However, just as the handover was about to occur, the security forces intervened. The suspect managed to drop the bag and flee the scene, eluding immediate arrest despite a rapid pursuit by the authorities. Upon inspecting the recovered bag, officers discovered 700 tablets of the narcotic Tramadol, five pills of 'Extra', and 15 slabs of hashish, locally known as 'passport.' The seized hashish weighed approximately 1.5 kilograms. Officials confirmed that all legal procedures have been initiated and a formal report has been filed. Efforts are ongoing to track down the fugitive suspect and bring him to justice. Tags: benghaziDrugsHashishlibyaNarcotics

Jennifer Love Hewitt teases ‘very different' Julie James in I Know What You Did Last Summer
Jennifer Love Hewitt has teased Julie James will be 'very different' in I Know What You Did Last Summer. The 46-year-old actor is set to reprise the role after first starring as Julie in the 1997 original and its 1998 sequel I Still Know What You Did Last Summer, and Hewitt has now hinted Julie has changed a lot in the upcoming slasher. Speaking about her character during an interview with Extra, Hewitt said: 'She's very different. I think you'll see shades of that girl because I want those to be in there, but she's lived in. 'She's in her 40s. She's carried this a long time. I think she's figured out how to deal. She's a professor in sort of the mind and trauma and PTSD field. 'So, I think she's figured out a way to put herself in a position in her life so she can deal every day with what happened to her in her teens. She's a little edgier. She's funny.' As well as Hewitt, Freddie Prinze Jr. will return for I Know What You Did Last Summer as Ray Bronson. Meanwhile, Sarah Michelle Gellar - who starred in the original I Know What You Did Last Summer as the ill-fated Helen Shivers - has been given an 'unofficial' role in the upcoming slasher by director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson. I Know What You Did Last Summer - which will hit screens on 18 July 2025 - follows a group of teens who are haunted by a deadly secret after a hit-and-run cover-up. With a masked killer stalking them one year later, the group seek out two survivors from the infamous Southport massacre of 1997 as their past comes back with a vengeance. Previously, Robinson teased I Know What You Did Last Summer would be 'much more brutal' than the original. Speaking with People, she said: '[The horror elements are] ratcheted up to a hundred in this - it's much more brutal. 'There's definitely more methodology to every kill in this movie, unlike the first, which is kind of just him [the killer] stalking them and going after them. 'There's not a lot of gore or blood or violence in the first one. There certainly is in this one.' Robinson added she wanted to make I Know What You Did Last Summer for fans of the original flick, though emphasised the slasher would still be accessible to newcomers to the franchise. She explained: '[We] approached it like super fans, so I think people are going to be really happy. All the things that you want to see in this movie, you're going to see in this movie ... 'We very purposefully wanted to make this movie both for fans of the original who are coming to this and excited about the easter eggs but also for a new audience that can find I Know and almost watch the first one like a prequel. 'That was very front of mind for me as we made this movie. You don't need to do any research coming into I Know What You Did Last Summer. You just have to have a really good time.'
