Lexi Minetree has finally opened up about the advice Reese Witherspoon gave her after she was cast in the Legally Blonde prequel series, Elle.

The 24-year-old budding actress attended the Amazon Upfront red carpet in New York City in the spring, where she conversed with PEOPLE magazine.

Minetree, who will play the role of Elle Woods in the forthcoming series, revealed that Witherspoon gave her some simple reminders for the character she played in the 2001 original film.

She said of the Academy award-winning actress, “She told me to make sure to drink water, make sure to rest, to breathe and to take in every moment here because it’s such a special opportunity.”

The Crowdsource Murder star went on to share that when she first realized she had landed the role Witherspoon depicted in the 2001 film, she “had every thought known to mankind all simultaneously. I’m still pinching myself that this is my life, and I just feel really grateful, honestly.”

According to Minetree, the Big Little Lies star even sees herself in her, which is a glaring sign that she is “going to age amazingly.”

“Reese is just such a good role model for people. I feel honored to be compared,” she remarked.

It is pertinent to mention that Elle, which was announced in 2024, will be released sometime in 2026.

Kensington Palace has finally released a statement about the unlawful behavior that taken place against Prince William and Kate Middleton.

For those unversed, the statement in in response to the couple having won their privacy invasion suit against a French magazine that shared long-lens images of them, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis from their Easter break trip to the Alps.

What is pertinent to mention is that the French Court also instructed the publication to acknowledge the breach via a judicial notice.

According to Hello! the Palace has said, “their Royal Highnesses The Prince and Princess of Wales, have been successful in legal proceedings brought in France against the owner of Paris Match, which published a grossly intrusive article and long-lens paparazzi photographs of their private family holiday in the Alps in April.”

“The ruling affirms that, notwithstanding their public duties as members of The Royal Family, Their Royal Highnesses and their children are entitled to respect for their private lives and family time, without unlawful interference and intrusion.”

“The Prince and Princess of Wales are committed to protecting their private family time and ensuring that their children can grow up without undue scrutiny and interference. They will not hesitate to take such action as is necessary to enforce those boundaries.”

• ISPR says IBO conducted in Quetta, Kech districts.
• Adds operation part of Azm-e-Istehkam campaign.
• President, PM pay tribute to security forces.

At least eighteen India-backed terrorists belonging to Fitna al-Hindustan were killed in two separate operations in Balochistan, the military’s media wing said on Thursday.

The Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) said in a statement that an intelligence-based operation (IBO) was conducted in the general area of Chiltan Mountains, Quetta district, on the reported presence of terrorists.

“During the conduct of the operation, own troops effectively engaged the terrorists’ location, and after an intense fire exchange, fourteen India-sponsored terrorists were sent to hell,” it added.

In another IBO conducted in the general area of Buleda, Kech district, a terrorist hideout was busted and four terrorists were successfully neutralised, the ISPR said.

It said weapons, ammunition and explosives were also recovered from slain terrorists, who remained actively involved in numerous terrorist activities.

The military said sanitisation operations are being conducted to eliminate any other Indian sponsored terrorists found in the area.

It further said that the relentless counter terrorism campaign under vision “Azm-e-Istehkam” by the security forces and law enforcement agencies of Pakistan will continue at full pace to wipe out the menace of foreign-sponsored and supported terrorism from the country.

President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif paid rich tribute to security forces for eliminating 18 terrorists of Indian proxy Fitna al-Hindustan in Balochistan, reaffirming Pakistan’s firm resolve under Azm-e-Istehkam to eradicate all foreign-sponsored terrorism.

Pakistan has been grappling with rising terror incidents, particularly in KP and Balochistan, since the Afghan Taliban regime took power in 2021.

The government has repeatedly urged the Taliban regime to rein in terrorist groups responsible for countless attacks in Pakistan.

However, the Taliban regime largely remained indifferent to Pakistan’s demands and provided refuge to multiple terrorist groups targeting security forces and civilians.

Instead of addressing Pakistan’s concerns about cross-border terrorism, the Taliban regime resorted to unprovoked firing along the border on October 12.

Pakistan Armed Forces retaliated swiftly, killing over 200 Taliban fighters and affiliated militants; however, as many as 23 Pakistani soldiers were martyred during the border clashes.

Security forces also conducted strikes inside Afghanistan, including in Kabul, destroying terrorists’ hideouts in the country.

Hostilities between forces of the two nations ceased after Pakistan accepted the Taliban regime’s request for a temporary ceasefire on October 17.

Delegations from the two countries later met for talks mediated by Qatar in Doha, where they agreed on a ceasefire agreement.

Turkiye then hosted the second round of talks in Istanbul, which began on October 25.

However, the talks ended inconclusively after four days over what Pakistani authorities described as the Taliban delegation’s “illogical” arguments, which they said were “detached from ground realities”.
