Hyundai recalls a whopping 14 IONIQ 5 and Kia EVs

Published by Miika Tikkanen

Hyundai issued a recall affecting a small number of older IONIQ 5, Kia EV9, and Kia EV6 models due to a battery defect that could lead to a fire. Hyundai recalls IONIQ 5, Kia EVs over battery defect The recall impacts just six IONIQ 5 model year 2023 and 2024, one 2024 Kia EV9, and seven Kia EV6 model year 2022 to 2024 vehicles. In a letter to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on July 9, Hyundai said the recall is due to misaligned electrodes in the battery cell that could cause an internal short circuit and lead to a fire. To date, Hyundai is not aware of any incidents, crashes, fires, or injuries in the US related to the issue. After launching an investigation last month, Hyundai found a limited number of US vehicles that were equipped with defective battery modules produced by its supplier, SK On, during a specific production period. Owners can continue using their vehicles, but Hyundai recommends keeping the battery level under 80% when charging. 2024 Kia EV9 …

Renny Harlin Recalls Clashing With Val Kilmer on ‘Mindhunters’

Renny Harlin Recalls Clashing With Val Kilmer on ‘Mindhunters’

Published by Daniella Wilson

Renny Harlin has a hard and fast rule for winning over actors on his movie sets: Preparation, preparation, preparation. The veteran filmmaker sat for a masterclass conversation last week at Malta’s Mediterrane Film Festival in Valletta, during which he opened up on the creative process he’s leaned on to make nearly four dozen films over five decades while working with some of the biggest movie stars on the planet, from Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson to Sylvester Stallone and Val Kilmer. “It’s all about preparation. Preparation costs nothing,” Harlin told moderator Steven Weintraub of Collider. But for Harlin, his prep goes beyond scripts and storyboards. He said he also learns how to do the grueling stunts his films require. “Whether I’m doing Cliffhanger in the mountains, Die Hard 2 in airplanes or Deep Blue Sea in water tanks, I learned how to mountain climb, I learned how to scuba dive, I learned how airplanes worked. Even for Cliffhanger, I learned how to fly a helicopter. For me, the preparation is the most valuable way …

Niall Horan recalls his final encounter with Liam Payne before One Direction star’s death

Niall Horan recalls his final encounter with Liam Payne before One Direction star’s death

Published by Daniella Wilson

Niall Horan has said he was in denial when he heard the news of Liam Payne’s death. Payne died in October 2024 after falling from a third-story hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was 31 years old. In a new interview with The Times, Horan, 32, said he was with his One Direction bandmate in Argentina just weeks before his death. “I’m glad of that, it means my last memory of him was happy,” he said. Payne had flown in to Argentina to see Horan perform on tour, with a video of the moment – in which Payne is seen happily supporting his former bandmate – circulating online. “It still feels surreal,” continued Horan. “On day one I was, like, ‘Nah, it didn’t happen.’ Our friendship was a bond that was there forever even if we hadn’t seen each other for a while and it’s wild that one day, like the flick of a switch, he’s gone.” Horan said that “all our families” have remained in touch since Payne’s death two years ago, adding …

Cynthia Erivo Recalls Scrutiny She And Ariana Grande Faced Promoting Wicked

Cynthia Erivo Recalls Scrutiny She And Ariana Grande Faced Promoting Wicked

Published by Sam Flores

Cynthia Erivo is reflecting on the infamous press tour she and her Wicked co-star Ariana Grande took part in to promote the hit film. Back in 2024, Wicked’s two lead stars went into full-blown promo mode to help plug the movie musical, which led to a string of viral moments and, indeed, a number of tearful interviews. Reflecting on the last four years, Cynthia told Variety as part of a new interview: “We were holding on by threads, and we were really trying to take care of each other.” The British performer noted that she and Ariana made a “really conscious decision” early on in the process of making Wicked to have one another’s backs, but during the promotion of the film, the sincerity of their friendship was called into question once or twice. “It’s very interesting, watching what people’s perception is versus what the reality actually is,” she recalled of the period she and Ariana were being dissected on social media. “[There were] lots of psychologists seated at home deciding who we were, what …

The Mandalorian’s Jon Favreau recalls moment he realized Grogu was a ‘phenomenon’

Published by Daniella Wilson

Jon Favreau wasn’t always sure that Grogu would be a hit among fans. The little green character, affectionately referred to as Baby Yoda, was introduced in the first scene of the Favreau-directed 2019 Disney TV series, The Mandalorian. Now, Favreau is bringing the character to the big screen with The Mandalorian and Grogu, his latest directorial endeavor which will be released in theaters May 22. Speaking to CBS News, Favreau, 59, knew that introducing Grogu would be “exciting,” but remembered the moment he knew Baby Yoda had captured the hearts of fans. ”We didn’t realize quite what a phenomenon it would be. And then when we saw the balloon in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, that’s when it kind of – as a New Yorker – it really hit me. Like, ‘Wow! This has really hit another level.’ The whole thing’s surreal,” he recalled.

Inventor recalls eye imaging breakthrough

Inventor recalls eye imaging breakthrough

Published by Miika Tikkanen

“It uses infrared light that’s barely visible compared to the bright flash of fundus photography [another common method of eye imaging] and provides a lot more information—three-dimensional rather than two-dimensional information—at higher resolution,” Huang says. The discovery earned him and his co-inventors slots in the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 2025 as well as the Lasker Award and the National Medals of Technology and Innovation in 2023. Huang didn’t expect to change the paradigm of eye imaging when he began studying electrical engineering as an undergraduate at MIT, but he was interested in using an engineering mindset to contribute to medical advancements. That, he thought, could be his way to follow in the footsteps of his father, who was a family practitioner.  OCT emerged from his work as an MD-PhD student in the Harvard-MIT Program in Health Sciences and Technology. While studying ultrafast lasers at MIT under James Fujimoto ’79, SM ’81, PhD ’84, the Elihu Thomson Professor of Electrical Engineering, Huang was tasked with using the lasers to improve various ophthalmological tasks, including …

Riz Ahmed recalls being banned from Tesco after starring in Venom

Published by Daniella Wilson

Oscar-nominated actor Riz Ahmed has revealed that he was banned from a London branch of Tesco after the supermarket suspected him of shoplifting. The 43-year-old, who will next star in Prime Video comedy Bait, said the incident occurred shortly after starring in 2018 superhero film Venom with Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams. Ahmed’s role in Venom made him even more of an international name, with the actor having previously starred in Bafta-nominated black comedy Nightcrawler and Star Wars film Rogue One. After starring in Venom, he took a trip to the Old Kent Road branch of the supermarket chain, but the visit turned awry when security guards accused him of stealing something. “They thought I was shoplifting,” he told GQ on Wednesday (18 March). “My washing machine was broken, so I had one of those massive laundry bags full of all my laundry, and the only clothes I had were insane – I had [on] this bright green puffer and pink f***ing swim shorts or something.” open image in gallery Riz Ahmed has revealed that …
