Iconic ‘Titanic’ door prop that saved Rose fetches over $700K at auction
In a momentous sale that has captivated movie buffs and collectors alike, the infamous piece of wooden debris that kept “Titanic” movie’s Rose afloat — and arguably led to Jack's demise — has sold for a staggering $718,750 at auction, reports the BBC.
This piece of film history has been the center of a long-standing debate since the movie's release in 1997: could it have supported both Rose and Jack, potentially saving them both from the icy grip of the Atlantic?
Rare video of 1986 dive in Titanic wreckage to be released
The prop, which has ignited discussions among fans for over two decades, was a highlight at an auction featuring items and costumes from Planet Hollywood's extensive collection. The scene in question features Jack, played by Leonardo DiCaprio, insisting the makeshift raft was only big enough for Rose, played by Kate Winslet, leading to his tragic end in the cold ocean waters.
The debate over the scene reached such heights that even "Titanic" director James Cameron addressed it in a 2012 "Mythbusters" episode. Amidst criticism of Rose's perceived selfishness and Jack's decision-making, Cameron asserted that the script necessitated Jack's death, humorously noting that perhaps the prop should have been made smaller to avoid doubt. "The dude's going down," Cameron stated, putting a script-driven end to the speculation.

Heritage Auctions, which handled the sale, revealed the item, often mistaken for an actual door, was based on a piece of the ill-fated 1912 voyage's debris.

Rafiqul Alam’s new Liberation War song released in Ayub Bachchu’s composition
Eminent singer and freedom fighter Rafiqul Alam’s new Liberation War song has been released on Independence Day this year, written and composed by the late rock legend Ayub Bachchu for the distinguished artist back in 2005.
Rafiqul Alam, who calls Ayub Bachchu “the Van Halen of Bangladesh,” reflected on the time Ayub Bachchu gave him the song “Shadhinota.”
“The posthumous song of Ayub Bachchu is titled 'Shadhinota' which speaks of glorifying 'Shadhinota' (independence) itself. It talks about what 'Shadhinota' is to the people of Bangladesh, how passionate we as a nation are about our Liberation War, and that it was in exchange for blood that we got our independence,” said Rafiqul.
“Back in 2005, when we were working on another project, we discussed collaborating on a song on several occasions, but it didn’t happen for many reasons. At last, he gave me this song, and it was a very sensible choice to give me a song that speaks about our history,” said the veteran singer describing the background journey of the track.
Rafiqul Alam is a renowned playback singer and vocalist, trained by Pundit Haripada Das. In his journey, he has been groomed by several legendary music directors, among whom he calls Satiya Saha his musical father.
Swadhin Bangla Betar Kendra was a milestone in his path, where he performed many of the classic songs both in group and solo during the Liberation War of 1971. “Moder Gorob Moder Asha” was one of these songs.
The music arrangement of “Shadhinota” is performed by Rafiqul's son, Farshid Alam, a singer-songwriter, composer, and bassist. His debut in music arrangement for his father happened through this song.
“The Western and Eastern ratio in the composition of Ayub Bachchu songs has always been 50/50, but, in this case, I think he chose a 40/60 approach (40 being Western and 60 being Eastern) since my father was the singer,” Farshid said. “For me, it was not an easy job to maintain that harmony in my arrangement. I hope I did justice to the song, and I wish Ayub Bachchu could have listened to my arrangement of his composition.”
The song is available on Rafiqul Alam’s YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vEMFmXASNsk.

Kate, Princess of Wales, says she has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy
Kate, the Princess of Wales, said Friday she has cancer and is undergoing chemotherapy.
Her condition was disclosed in a video message recorded on Wednesday and broadcast Friday, coming after weeks of speculation on social media about her whereabouts and health since she was hospitalized in January for unspecified abdominal surgery.
Kate asked for “time, space and privacy” while she is treated for an unspecified type of cancer, which was discovered after her surgery.
“I am well,” she said. “I am getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal.”
Kate, 42, hadn’t been seen publicly since Christmas until video surfaced this week of her with her husband, Prince William, heir to the throne, walking from a farm shop near their Windsor home.
Kensington Palace had given little detail about Kate’s condition beyond saying it wasn’t cancer-related, the surgery was successful and recuperation would keep the princess away from public duties until April. Kate said it had been thought that her condition was non-cancerous until tests revealed the diagnosis.
“This of course came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family,” she said.
The news is another stunning development for the royal family since the announcement last month that King Charles III was being treated for an unspecified type of cancer that was caught while undergoing a procedure for a benign enlarged prostate. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said in a statement that Kate “has shown tremendous bravery.” He added: “In recent weeks she has been subjected to intense scrutiny and has been unfairly treated by certain sections of the media around the world and on social media.”
Charles, 75, has withdrawn from public duties while he has cancer treatment, though he’s appeared frequently in photos carrying on meetings with government officials and dignitaries and was even seen going to church.
Kate, on the other hand, had been out of view, leading to weeks of speculation and gossip. Attempts to put rumors to bed by releasing a photo of her on Mother’s Day in the U.K. surrounded by her three smiling children backfired when The Associated Press and other news agencies retracted the image because it had been manipulated.
Kate issued a statement the next day acknowledging she liked to “experiment with editing” and apologizing for “any confusion” the photo had caused. But that did little to quell the speculation.
Even the footage published by The Sun and TMZ that appeared to show Kate and William shopping sparked a new flurry of rumor-mongering, with some armchair sleuths refusing to believe the video showed Kate at all.
Earlier this week, a British privacy watchdog said it was investigating a report that staff at the private London hospital where she was treated tried to snoop on her medical records while she was a patient for abdominal surgery.
The former Kate Middleton, who married William in a fairy-tale wedding in 2011, has boosted the popularity and appeal of the British monarchy worldwide more than any royal since Princess Diana.
The princess is the oldest of three children brought up in a well-to-do neighborhood in Berkshire, west of London. The Middletons have no aristocratic background, and the British press often referred to Kate as a “commoner” marrying into royalty.
Kate attended the private girls’ school Marlborough College and then University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where she met William around 2001. Friends and housemates at first, their relationship came to be in the public eye when they were pictured together on a skiing holiday in Switzerland in 2004.
Kate graduated in 2005 with a degree in art history and a budding relationship with the prince.
‘Quran is crystal clear’: Will Smith
Hollywood icon Will Smith recently shared his profound appreciation for the Quran, describing the Muslim holy book as “crystal clear” and lauding its simplicity.
In a conversation reported by Al Arabiya, Smith recounted his experience of reading the Quran last Ramadan. “I loved the simplicity; the Quran is so clear; it is crystal clear. It is hard to walk away with misunderstanding,” Smith remarked.
He was moved by the spirit of the Quran, which he found to be “so beautiful and clear.”

Delving deeper into his spiritual journey, Smith revealed that he has explored the holy texts of Judaism and Christianity as well. He expressed amazement at the deep connections between the Quran, Torah, and Bible.
“I was surprised how it is like one story, from the Torah through the Bible and into the Quran. I never totally understood Abraham as the father and then the split with Isaac and Ishmail and it was beautiful to get the completion of that comprehension,” he shared.
Smith, who is currently visiting Saudi Arabia, also opened up about his affinity for the Middle Eastern country and its culture during a podcast with MBC.
With a touch of humor, Smith, who portrayed the Genie in the live-action movie "Aladdin," quipped: “I think I was a Genie in a past life. I am so at home; I love it here.”
