Isla Fisher shares hilarious dating rules after sp…

Isla Fisher is embracing her single era with a healthy dose of humor. The Australian actress recently revealed some of her biggest dating “icks,” and her brutally honest rules are already giving fans plenty to laugh about.

Fisher, 50, has been in the spotlight following the end of her marriage to comedian Sacha Baron Cohen. The former couple, who were together for more than two decades, announced in 2024 that they had filed for divorce. Their divorce was finalized in June 2025. They share three children and have continued to prioritize their family while navigating life after marriage. (EW.com⁠)

Now, Fisher appears to be having fun with the idea of dating again.

During a recent appearance on KIIS FM’s The Smallzy Show, the actress was asked about the little things that can instantly turn her off. Her answer was anything but serious.

One of Fisher’s biggest complaints? Backpacks.

“Backpack, period,” she joked, explaining that she would immediately lose interest if a man showed up wearing one in a particular way. She admitted that simply carrying a backpack is not necessarily a problem. However, things change when a man clips the straps together across his chest.

According to Fisher, that small detail is enough to make her say goodbye.

But backpacks are not her only dating deal-breaker. Deck shoes also made the list.

Fisher described the shoes as already being “a bit of an ick” before revealing the specific habit that really bothers her. She said she recently saw someone wearing deck shoes with the heel folded down, turning them into something resembling casual plimsolls.

Her reaction was immediate and hilarious.

“Repulsive,” she declared.

The comments offer a glimpse into Fisher’s playful personality as she enters a different chapter of her life. Earlier, she had been candid about how difficult her separation was, describing it as one of the hardest experiences she had faced. She also credited her close female friends with helping her rediscover her strength and identity outside of a relationship. (Us Weekly⁠)

Fisher has also been focusing on her acting career. Her latest projects include Spa Weekend, while she continues to take on new opportunities in film and comedy.

Whether she is seriously dating or simply enjoying being single, Fisher’s hilarious list proves one thing: romance may be complicated, but her dating “icks” are surprisingly simple.

For now, men with backpacks and badly worn deck shoes might want to take notes.

    Shifa specialists join Imran’s eye assessment

    The Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS) has confirmed that two specialists from Shifa International Hospital were involved in the eye examination of former prime minister and PTI founder Imran Khan. According to a statement issued by PIMS on Saturday, Imran Khan was brought to the Islamabad hospital during the night between August 20 and 21 for a medical examination and treatment. The institute said the ophthalmological assessment was carried out with the participation of two Shifa International specialists. Other required examinations were conducted by doctors at PIMS. PIMS said the findings from the eye assessment were reviewed alongside the results of investigations conducted by its own medical specialists. A medical board consisting of PIMS doctors subsequently compiled the overall medical fitness report. However, the institute said it would not make the contents of the medical report public. PIMS cited patient confidentiality as well as directions issued by the Supreme Court of Pakistan for withholding the details of the report. The clarification comes amid controversy over the treatment and medical care being provided to Imran Khan, who is currently detained at Adiala Jail. Earlier this week, the Supreme Court had directed that Imran Khan be shifted to Shifa International Hospital for treatment for several days. The court also ordered the government to facilitate weekly meetings between him and his family. The Supreme Court further directed authorities to provide access to Imran’s personal physician, Dr Faisal Sultan. It ordered the formation of a medical board that would include an ophthalmologist, general physician and cardiologist, along with Dr Sultan. The government subsequently filed a review petition against the court’s order, describing the decision as discriminatory. Confusion arose later when reports suggested that Imran Khan was being moved from Adiala Jail to Shifa International Hospital. Information Minister Attaullah Tarar later said that the former prime minister had instead been taken to PIMS because of security concerns surrounding Shifa Hospital and the route leading to it. Tarar said doctors from Shifa International were also present during the medical examination at PIMS. After the examination, Imran Khan was declared medically fit and taken back to Adiala Jail. The development has drawn further attention from PTI and Imran Khan’s family, who have repeatedly raised concerns about his health and medical treatment. Imran Khan’s sister, Dr Uzma Khan, also spoke publicly after meeting him and alleged that he was facing severe injustice and mistreatment.

    Jeff Bezos throws weight behind $2.6B AI startup fixing the chip material crunch

    Jeff Bezos has placed his bet on CuspAI, an artificial intelligence startup working to discover and design advanced materials for the next generation of computer chips. The investment aims squarely at the material shortage behind the ongoing chip crisis that has rattled the tech industry over the past several months. This is not  CuspAI’s first big funding win. Back in July, the company closed a $450 million Series B round, pushing its valuation to $2.6 billion. That round pulled in heavyweight backers, including Bezos Expeditions, AMD Ventures, Nvidia, and Meta. CuspAI was founded in 2024 with a much narrower focus. Originally, the company built AI tools to identify and test materials for water purification and carbon capture projects. Since then, its mission has grown considerably. By expanding into AI infrastructure and chip materials, the startup now positions itself as a possible fix during a period of serious supply chain strain. One of CuspAI’s key advantages lies in finding substitutes. The company’s AI can search for alternative materials that mimic the properties of scarce elements like tantalum, gallium, and iridium. These elements are becoming harder to source as demand climbs, particularly with the explosion of AI infrastructure worldwide. The International Energy Agency has already flagged concerns that data centre demand for gallium could outpace supply within the next few years. Adding to the pressure, rising geopolitical tension between the US and China over rare earth minerals continues to complicate global supply chains. Analysts have pointed to this rift as a growing risk factor for tech manufacturers everywhere. Beyond securing fresh funding, CuspAI has also launched something bigger: the AI Materials Foundry. This initiative brings together more than 45 major industry players under one coalition, including tech giants like Nvidia, Samsung, Meta, and Hyundai Motor Group. The goal is to pool resources and expertise as the industry races to solve its materials bottleneck. With Bezos now backing the effort directly, CuspAI’s profile in the AI and semiconductor space is only expected to grow. As chip shortages continue to challenge manufacturers worldwide, the company’s approach of using AI to hunt for alternative materials could prove critical in keeping production on track.

    Court sets August 18 for Rajab Butt indictment

    LAHORE: A sessions court in Lahore has fixed August 18 for the indictment of TikToker Rajab Butt and four other suspects in a case involving allegations of sexual assault against a social media influencer. Additional District and Sessions Judge Zafaryab heard the private complaint filed by the woman against Butt and the other suspects. The court directed all five accused to appear on the next hearing date for formal framing of charges. The complaint was filed in 2025. The woman alleged that she was sexually assaulted and later subjected to blackmail by the suspects. She told the court that she had evidence to support her allegations. The material reportedly includes WhatsApp conversations, a medical report and a statement recorded before a magistrate under Section 164 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The accused have denied the allegations. They had previously obtained pre-arrest bail from a sessions court while the proceedings continued. The case is separate from another criminal complaint recently registered against Butt and some of his associates. Last month, police registered a case after an alleged confrontation at a café involving several women. The same woman who filed the earlier sexual assault complaint also approached police over the café incident. She alleged that Butt attacked her and other women during the altercation. The latest court proceedings add to the growing number of legal cases involving the social media personality. Butt has faced proceedings over several allegations in recent years. These include accusations related to hurting religious sentiments, promoting online gambling and physical assault. He has denied the allegations in the relevant cases. The court will now hear the matter on August 18. The appearance of Butt and the other suspects will mark the next stage of proceedings, when the court is scheduled to formally frame charges.

    Sonia Hussyn calls for meaningful freedom in Indep…

    Pakistani actress Sonia Hussyn has shared a thought-provoking message on Independence Day, urging people to look beyond the usual celebrations and think about what freedom truly means. The actress took to social media to express her concerns about the way some Pakistanis celebrate Independence Day. Rather than focusing only on flags, decorations and festivities, Hussyn questioned whether a nation can truly protect its rights if its people do not first learn to protect their own dignity, discipline and principles. In her message, the actress asked what a nation can do to protect its rights when its citizens do not know how to remain organized, principled or protect their self-respect. She also criticized the tendency to limit patriotic enthusiasm to free cake, loud celebrations and modified motorcycle silencers. Her comments appeared to be a call for greater responsibility among citizens. The message suggested that patriotism should not be limited to one day of celebration but should be reflected in people’s everyday behavior and choices. Hussyn’s remarks came as Pakistanis across the country prepared to celebrate Independence Day on August 14. Streets, homes and public spaces were decorated with national flags, while people took part in rallies, concerts and other festivities. Social media was also filled with patriotic messages and photographs celebrating the occasion. However, Hussyn encouraged her followers to consider a deeper meaning of independence. Her message focused on discipline, self-respect and responsibility as qualities that can help strengthen society. The actress’s comments quickly attracted attention online. A social media post featuring her message was shared alongside reactions from other Pakistani celebrities who also reflected on the country’s challenges while celebrating Independence Day. (Instagram⁠) Hussyn’s message reflects a broader conversation that often emerges around August 14: whether national pride should be expressed through temporary celebrations or through actions that contribute to society throughout the year. For many people, Independence Day is an opportunity to remember the sacrifices connected to Pakistan’s creation. Hussyn’s words add another perspective, suggesting that maintaining freedom also requires citizens to take responsibility for their communities and their own conduct. Her criticism of noisy celebrations does not necessarily reject patriotism itself. Instead, it highlights the difference between celebrating independence and actively contributing to the country. Simple acts such as following rules, respecting others, maintaining cleanliness and standing up for one’s rights can also become meaningful expressions of patriotism. Ultimately, Sonia Hussyn’s message asks Pakistanis to think beyond the excitement of August 14. Her central point is that a strong nation needs citizens who are disciplined, principled and conscious of their dignity. As Independence Day celebrations continue, her words serve as a reminder that loving one’s country can mean more than displaying a flag. It can also mean helping create a society worthy of the freedom that people celebrate each year.
