Kendall Jenner’s New Love Interest: Byredo Founder Ben Gorham

Kendall Jenner is again in the midst of dating rumors, this time for being seen with Ben Gorham. The supermodel and reality television personality has already appeared with the fragrance entrepreneur on multiple occasions in recent months and is giving people reasons to think that their relationship is more than just friendship. Kendall Jenner is often in the headlines for dating someone new, and this time is even more intriguing given that Ben Gorham belongs to an entirely different world than celebrity culture.

Unlike some of the more prominent celebrities that Kendall has dabbled with in the past, Ben Gorham is a true creative talent from the world of perfumery. Born in Sweden, Ben is currently aged 48, and he boasts a substantial multicultural upbringing, split between being of Indian, Scottish, and French-Canadian descent. Ben has discussed, in previous interviews, the fact that he has lived in several different parts of the planet during his formative years, which has had a significant influence on his creative philosophy. Ben grew up in Sweden, then Toronto, then New York for high school, finally attending college back in Canada.

Gorham attended Ryerson University in Toronto and studied business. But surprisingly, he chose to pursue an entirely different passion – professional basketball. However, his involvement with sports lasted for just a short period. Having been drawn to his creative side, he went on to attend fine arts college in Stockholm, Sweden. It was here that he discovered perfumes through perfumer he met in that part of the world.

By drawing inspiration from his own personal memory, emotion, and experience within the global environment, Gorham engaged in the experimental use of scents that required fewer ingredients and simpler notions. As a culmination of his artistic and creative approach, he launched the luxury fragrance label Byredo. Byredo has, for several years, been recognized globally for its clean aesthetic and emotion-promoting fragrances, and Gorham is considered a renowned personality within the realm of fashion and the cosmetics industry.

Therefore, the question is, what’s going on between Kendall Jenner and Ben Gorham? The two first connected in September, and this led to rumors of them possibly having a work-related association. They have since been spotted together several times, visiting bookstores, having meals, and going shopping, among other outings, meaning the level of familiarity and comfort between them is increasing.

They have not, however, confirmed the news. Previous connections of Kendall Jenner include famous names such as Devin Booker, Ben Simmons, Harry Styles, A$AP Rocky, and Bad Bunny. With the addition of Ben Gorham to the mix, it remains keenly interesting to observe the potential of the rumored on-again, off-again being more than a mere rumor.

B Praak Welcomes Baby Boy, Reveals Spiritual Name and Meaning

0

The music industry is celebrating a very emotional and heartwarming moment, as popular singer B Praak and his wife, Meera Bachan, have been blessed with the birth of a baby boy. Both of them shared the news on their Instagram account, and there came an outpouring of love, blessings, and congratulatory messages from fans.

In the emotional post, the couple announced the birth of their child, and their son was born on December 1, 2025. While expressing their gratitude and happiness, they stated, “By the divine grace of RadheShyam, we are blessed with a baby boy on December 1, 2025. Our hearts overflow with gratitude and joy. The sun rises again, bringing light, hope, and new beginnings into our lives.” This heartfelt post has touched the hearts of their fans, and one must remember the long journey they have been through.

With this announcement, B Praak and Meera also introduced their new addition to society as ‘Ddvij Bachan’. Elaborating on the significance of ‘DDVIJ BACHAN’, they wrote: “DDVIJ BACHAN. Twice Born—A Spiritual Rebirth.” The message was concluded in devotion to god as ‘Sab Radhe Radhe Hai. Jay Shree Krushna’.

B Praak and his wife, Meera, tied the knot in 2019 and had their first son in 2020. But in 2022, the couple encountered a tragic loss as their second child died at childbirth. When the incident occurred, B Praak had shared a heartbreaking post on social media, expressing their pain and respecting their privacy as they dealt with their sorrow. This incident had left everyone pained for the couple and had made everyone feel their pain.

Furthermore, this new chapter means even more. The coming of baby Ddvij has been seen as a “symbol of hope, healing, and renewal” for fans. The news platforms have been filled with tributes to the “strength and resilience” of the two.

Pratik Bachan is known as B Praak in real life and is one of the most acclaimed voices in Punjab and Indian music. With so many soul-stirring songs like “Teri Mitti,” one wonders if this is indeed all he has in him, as he has yet to experience life in its real form, as his listeners believe he has tapped into real emotion in his songs.

Nawazuddin Siddique’s Chilling Dialogues in Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders Will Haunt You

0

Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders is finally out with a very much anticipated trailer, which promises a crime thriller series unlike any other before, in terms of it being dark, grittier, and even more complex. The trailer was launched on Tuesday by Netflix, which promises a nightmare scenario where behind every closed door, secrets live, and in every person who survives, a secret waits.

Directed by Honey Trehan and written by Smita Singh, this movie also sees Nawazuddin Siddiqui return as Inspector Jatil, a character that made a mark in the first part. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is joined by a host of main cast actors that include Chitrangda Singh, Rajat Kapoor, Radhika Apte, and Sanjay Kapoor, making this a very compelling and engaging movie story.

The two minutes and twenty-one seconds of the trailer introduce a haunted Bansal mansion wherein a wealthy family has been-butchered in a very mysterious manner. The rooms in the mansion are all locked from within and there is no suspect in sight. This prompts a visit from Inspector Jatil to unravel a mystery much bigger and darker than what meets the eye.

It’s evident that Chitrangda Singh’s role turns out to be one of the survivors and is depicted as being composed but disturbed. It’s also evident that Sanjay Kapoor is under suspicion. The roles of Rajat Kapoor and Radhika Apte add depth by consisting of characters that aren’t so straight. There’s emphasis put on one of the terrifying elements of this trailer – no person at this place turns out to be clean.

One of the most impressive aspects of the show is how Nawazuddin Siddiqui has played Inspector Jatil with so much intensity. He is a character who persists, is very process-oriented, and does not fear to fight against the forces that try to deter or frighten him with their powers and positions. Talking to a publication, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has said, “Jatil has matured, but his fundamental principles are unchanged.”

Meera’s character, played by Chitrangada Singh, was described by her as emotionally complex and very difficult to portray. She explained that Meera functions at ’emotional and psychological twilight,’ torn between vulnerability and strength, while also harboring secrets she is afraid to share.

Raat Akeli Hai: The Bansal Murders, with its eerie setting, complicated characters, and an intriguing case of murder based on privilege and power, is sure to offer a thrilling film-watching experience. The web series is all set to premiere on Netflix on December 19, and the fans of the original web series are waiting eagerly for the next thrilling episode featuring the return of Inspector Jatil.

Avatar: Fire and Ash Eyes Massive $340–$380 Million Global Opening

James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire & Ash is already shaping up to be one of the biggest box office events in recent memory. Early tracking suggests the film is expected to open with a staggering $340 million to $380 million worldwide, putting it firmly on track to dominate the global box office from day one.

The Avatar franchise has always been a different beast when it comes to theatrical performance. From the original 2009 film redefining what was possible with 3D and visual storytelling, to The Way of Water proving that Cameron still owns the long-game box office strategy, the series has consistently delivered record-breaking results. Fire & Ash appears ready to continue that legacy.

Industry analysts point to a mix of factors driving the enormous projections. The global appeal of Pandora remains unmatched, especially in international markets where Avatar films traditionally overperform. Premium formats like IMAX and 3D are also expected to contribute heavily to the opening numbers, as audiences continue to see Avatar as a must-watch big-screen experience rather than a wait-for-streaming title.

Narratively, Fire & Ash is being positioned as a darker, more emotionally intense chapter in the saga, expanding the mythology of Pandora while introducing new conflicts and cultures. That tonal shift has only increased curiosity, especially among fans who were drawn back to theaters in huge numbers for The Way of Water. The long gap between releases has worked in the franchise’s favor before, and it seems to be doing so once again.

Another major factor is Cameron’s track record. Time and again, his films are underestimated early on, only to explode globally through strong word of mouth and repeat viewings. While opening weekend numbers are important, Avatar films are known for their legs, often staying in theaters for months and building massive totals over time.

If Fire & Ash lands anywhere within the projected $340–$380 million range, it will mark one of the biggest worldwide openings of all time and further cement Avatar as a franchise that operates on a scale few others can touch. All eyes are now on release weekend to see just how high Pandora can soar once again.

Rob Reiner’s Son Nick Reiner Charged With Two Counts of First-Degree Murder in Parents’ Deaths

0

The shocking deaths of legendary filmmaker and actor Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle Singer Reiner have taken a devastating turn. Los Angeles prosecutors have confirmed that their son, Nick Reiner, has been formally charged with two counts of first-degree murder in connection with the killings, a development that has stunned Hollywood, political circles, and the wider public.

Nick Reiner, 32, was charged following an investigation led by the LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division. District Attorney Nathan Hodgman announced the charges at a press conference alongside Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell. According to prosecutors, Nick is accused of killing his father, the 78-year-old Emmy-winning actor and director behind classics like This Is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, When Harry Met Sally, and The Princess Bride, as well as his mother, Michelle Singer Reiner, who was 68.

In addition to the two counts of first-degree murder, prosecutors have filed special circumstances alleging multiple murders and the use of a dangerous weapon, specifically a knife. These additions significantly increase the severity of potential sentencing if Nick Reiner is convicted. Hodgman stated that his office has not yet decided whether it will seek the death penalty in the case, noting that such a decision will come later in the legal process.

“This loss is beyond tragic,” Hodgman said during the announcement. “We will commit ourselves to bringing their murderer to justice.” His words reflected the gravity of the case and the profound sense of loss surrounding the deaths of two individuals who were widely respected and deeply loved.

LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell also addressed the case, calling it “heartbreaking and deeply personal,” not just for the Reiner family but for the city of Los Angeles itself. He emphasized that law enforcement would proceed with care and dignity while ensuring accountability. “We will continue to support the Reiner family and ensure that every step forward is taken with resolve,” McDonnell said.

Rob Reiner was more than a celebrated filmmaker. He was a cultural figure whose work shaped generations of moviegoers and a prominent voice in political and social discourse. Michelle Singer Reiner was known for her quiet strength, philanthropy, and close involvement in their family life. News of their deaths sent shockwaves through Hollywood and beyond, and the revelation that their son has been charged has only deepened the tragedy.

As the case moves forward, many questions remain unanswered, and the legal process is still in its early stages. For now, the focus remains on honoring the lives lost and allowing the justice system to run its course in what authorities have described as one of the most devastating cases the city has faced in recent memory.

Jake Connelly Says He Lied to Hide Stranger Things Role

0

Keeping secrets in Hollywood is never easy, especially when you land a role in one of the biggest shows on the planet. Jake Connelly has now revealed just how far he went to keep his involvement in Stranger Things under wraps, and the excuse he used is honestly hilarious.

In a recent interview, Connelly shared that when people started asking what he was working on, he completely avoided the truth. Instead of mentioning Netflix or the globally obsessed series, he told people he was working on a mayonnaise documentary. Yes, mayonnaise. According to him, it was the safest, most boring answer he could think of, and it worked. Nobody asked follow-up questions, nobody got suspicious, and nobody expected him to suddenly appear in the Upside Down.

Stranger Things is known for its extreme secrecy, with cast members often required to keep their roles quiet until official announcements or episodes drop. Scripts are guarded, details are limited, and actors have to get creative when explaining long shooting schedules. Connelly’s fake documentary story fits right into that tradition, proving that sometimes the best cover is something so dull that no one wants to hear more.

Fans online loved the confession, calling it one of the funniest fake project covers to come out of the Stranger Things universe. Many joked that a mayonnaise documentary might actually sound more suspicious than a normal indie film, while others praised his commitment to protecting the secret.

The reveal also highlights just how intense the hype around Stranger Things remains. Even years into its run, being associated with the show can instantly spark attention, leaks, and speculation. For actors like Connelly, that means inventing entire fake careers just to stay quiet.

Now that the truth is out, the mayonnaise documentary has officially been retired. But the story has earned its place among the most memorable Stranger Things secrecy moments, proving once again that this show has chaos both on screen and behind the scenes.

Jennifer Lawrence Jokes Leonardo DiCaprio Would Be a Great Dad to a Teenage Daughter

0

Jennifer Lawrence has once again reminded everyone why she is one of the most effortlessly funny stars in Hollywood. During a recent conversation, the actress made a lighthearted and unexpectedly sweet comment about Leonardo DiCaprio, telling him that she thinks he would look great as the father of a teenage daughter.

Lawrence, who has shared screen space with DiCaprio and watched him play intense, emotionally layered roles over the years, said she loved seeing him battle through one challenge after another in his performances. That, according to her, is exactly why she believes he would nail the role of a dad in real life too. Taking the joke a step further, she teased him by saying she was genuinely sad that he does not have a teenage daughter because he would be perfect in that role.

The comment instantly stood out because it flipped the usual narrative around DiCaprio, who is more often talked about for his legendary film career and famously private dating life. Lawrence’s remark was not meant as a dig but rather as an affectionate observation, rooted in admiration for his ability to bring depth, patience, and emotional gravity to his characters.

Fans online quickly picked up on the moment, praising the easy chemistry and playful honesty between the two actors. Many found the comment surprisingly wholesome, noting that Lawrence framed DiCaprio not as a Hollywood icon but as someone who could bring warmth and strength to a very real, very human role.

Jennifer Lawrence has never shied away from speaking her mind, and moments like these are exactly why audiences love her. Her comment felt less like celebrity gossip and more like a genuine, funny thought shared between peers who respect each other’s craft.

Whether or not DiCaprio ever steps into a real-life dad role, the exchange gave fans a rare glimpse into how his colleagues see him beyond the screen. And according to Jennifer Lawrence, that version of Leo would be pretty great.

Song Name – Church MASS
Singer – JADE

Check out Church M.A.S.S Song Lyrics by JADE

Oh, baby, pray for me like I would pray for you
Whatever gets you off until your knees are bruised
While the world burns (World burns), let me see you work
Down on your knees, let me be your church (Let me be your church)

When I was a baby girl, that’s when I saw the queen
Nothing like Elizabeth, more like Destiny
Oh, she looked divine, elegant and free
She bowed down to my level, blew a kiss and said to me

“It’s hard enough to be alive
Might as well dance or die
Hеaven is closed, but we could try
‘Causе we’re one hell of a good time”

Oh, baby, pray for me like I would pray for you
Whatever gets you off until your knees are bruised
While the world burns, let me see you work
Down on your knees, let me be your church
Baby, stay a while until we see the light
Let’s get wet and wild till our tears are dry
While the world burns, let me see you work
Down on your knees, let me be your church (Let me be your church)

Now I’m fully blossomed, got my flowers, live the dream
Carrying the wisdom that was passed down on to me
If you need advice or you don’t believe
Get onto my level, listen up, I’ll set you free

It’s hard enough to be alive
Might as well dance or die
Heaven’s closed, but we can try
‘Cause we’re one hell of a good time

Oh, baby, pray for me like I would pray for you
Whatever gets you off until your knees are bruised
While the world burns, let me see you work
Down on your knees, let me be your church
Baby, stay a while until we see the light
Let’s get wet and wild till our tears are dry
While the world burns, let me see you work
Down on your knees (Let me be your church), let me be your church

All the sinners in the place, show me love, give me faith
Girls, dolls, party boys, rise above the dirty noise
If you’re all out of sugar then I’m the sweetest taste
Take this holy water and wash that pretty face (Let me see you work, work, work)
Girls, dolls, party boys, rise above the dirty noise (Let me see you work, work, work)
From the gutter to the stars, everywhere you are (Wanna see you down on your knees)
Now let me see you work (Work, work)
Let me be your church (Let me be your church)

Oh, baby, pray for me like I would pray for you (Let me see you work, work, work)
Whatever gets you off until your knees are bruised (Let me see you work, work, work)
While the world burns, let me see you work (Wanna see you down on your knees)
Down on your knees, oh (Let me be your church)

Let me see you work, work, work (Oh, let me)
Let me see you work, work, work (Oh, let me)
Wanna see you down on your knees (On your knees)
Let me be your church (Woah)
Let me see you work, work, work (Ooh)
Let me see you work, work, work (No, no, no)
Wanna see you down on your knees
Let me be your church (Let me be your church)
Let me be your church

Saregama Acquires 28% Stake in Bhansali Productions at ₹1,161 Cr Valuation

0

Saregama India has entered into a strategic equity partnership with filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s banner, Bhansali Productions, acquiring a 28 per cent stake in the company for ₹325 crore. The transaction implies a valuation of approximately ₹1,161 crore for Bhansali Productions. Under the agreement, Saregama will subscribe to 9,960 compulsorily convertible preference shares in Bhansali Productions on or before February 14, 2026. These preference shares will convert into equity in 2028, following which Saregama’s effective shareholding is expected to range between 28 per cent and 49.9 per cent, depending on the conversion formula. Post-conversion, Saregama will have the option to acquire additional shares to raise its holding to 51 per cent by March 31, 2030, enabling majority control of the production house.

In parallel with the equity investment, Saregama has entered into a comprehensive music rights agreement that secures rights to all future music created and produced by Bhansali Productions. The move strengthens Saregama’s long-term content pipeline and reinforces its leadership position in music licensing, particularly in premium, original film music.

Bhansali Productions has historically been associated with music-led cinema and critically acclaimed content, with soundtracks often playing a central role in the commercial and cultural life of its films. Industry observers note that this consistency in high-quality music and storytelling aligns well with Saregama’s catalogue-driven monetization strategy, potentially creating long-term value across both filmed content and music assets. The association could also enhance the valuation profile of both companies as premium content continues to attract sustained demand across theatrical, OTT, and music streaming platforms.

From a governance perspective, Bhansali Productions will retain full creative control over its projects, while Saregama will provide financial discipline and governance oversight. Ownership of intellectual property for all films will continue to remain with Bhansali Productions.

The partnership marks a significant convergence between a legacy music label and a filmmaker-driven production house, positioning the alliance to capitalize on the growing premiumization of Indian film and music content.

Ishaan Khatter Spills the Beans on Homebound’s Hidden Love Story

0

The critically acclaimed film, Homebound, starring Ishaan Khatter, Janhvi Kapoor, and Vishal Jethwa, has marked a significant milestone as it gets officially included in the Oscars 2026 list. Homebound, directed by Neeraj Ghaywan and released in theaters on September 26, touched the hearts of film-loving people across India for being socially relevant and loaded with powerful performances. Being included in the Oscars list adds to this impact.

Although Homebound is mostly about the deep affection between two friends, actor Ishaan Khatter has recently disclosed that his original plot involved a romantic thread that eventually got chopped off. In an interview for The Hollywood Reporter India, with Variety’s Anupama Chopra, the actor described the background for the editing. “I lost the love story, but I retained the spirit of the film, which is the story between the friends,” he said.

Ishaan further added that the romantic section had a lot of emotional significance for the director Neeraj Ghaywan, which was also very aptly written. “We shot that, but the credit goes to Reem Shaikh, who acted in that part. She was literally amazing. Sometimes these stories don’t reach the editing room, but that did not happen with them, but that did help them in keeping their emotional part intact because their emotional part is the development of their relationship with each other,” he said.

Homebound showcases the story of Chandan, a Dalit, portrayed by Vishal Jethwa, and another character named Shoaib, a Muslim, portrayed by Ishaan Khatter. The story takes place in a small town in North India. Their common dream of becoming a cop has been a way out for Chandan and Shoaib, as it will protect them from the constant harassment and discrimination taking place around them. But their plans get jeopardized when the result dates get postponed.

Apart from the personal story, Homebound also explores the socio-political frameworks that exist in rural India. The emotional drama was produced by the esteemed Dharma Productions, along with Karan Johar, Somen Mishra, Apoorva Mehta, and Adar Poonawalla. The Homebound production also has an extensive list of executive producers, which includes Melita Toscan du Plantier, Marijke de Souza, and cinematic legend Martin Scorsese.

Internationally, the Homebound had its premiere at the Cannes 2025 Film Festival and thus the debut at the Cannes Film Festival for the director Neeraj Ghaywan, nearly a decade since his directing debut with the critically acclaimed Masaan. Besides being the country’s Oscar entry, Homebound also had its showcase at the Toronto International Film Festival and the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne.
