Kylie Jenner is officially stepping into the world of acting with her first major film role. The beauty mogul and reality TV star has joined the cast of The Moment, an upcoming A24 film based on an original idea by pop singer Charli XCX. Kylie confirmed the news on October 9 by reposting a Deadline article via Instagram Stories, along with a behind-the-scenes photo with Charli, adorned with green heart emojis — a nod to Charli’s Brat aesthetic.

Directed by Aidan Zamiri and co-written by Zamiri and Bertie Brandes, The Moment is set to release in 2026 and promises a bold, pop-centric narrative. The story follows a rising pop star navigating the pressures of fame and the demands of preparing for her first arena tour — a fitting theme given Kylie’s own experience with public life and the entertainment industry.

This marks Kylie Jenner’s first scripted acting role outside of her reality TV fame in Keeping Up with the Kardashians and The Kardashians. Though she had a brief cameo as herself in the 2018 heist-comedy Ocean’s 8, The Moment is her first significant acting venture.

Kylie joins a star-studded ensemble cast including Rachel Sennott, Kate Berlant, and Charli XCX herself. The supporting cast features Alexander Skarsgård, Rosanna Arquette, Jamie Demetriou, Hailey Benton Gates, Trew Mullen, and Shygirl, among others. A.G. Cook, Charli’s longtime collaborator, will be working on the film’s music.

GOT7 member and solo artist Jackson Wang is currently making waves on his MAGICMAN 2 World Tour 2025–26, which kicked off with two back-to-back sold-out shows in Thailand on October 3 and 4. While fans were thrilled to see Jackson back on the global stage, a moment during his Bangkok concert has sparked mixed reactions online.

A video from the Impact Arena show has gone viral, capturing a surprising moment during a segment where fans were invited onstage. Among them was a shirtless male fan who shocked Jackson with his tall frame and bold tattoos. What left both the audience and Jackson stunned, however, was when the fan suddenly kissed the artist on the cheek. Caught off-guard, the 31-year-old singer quickly pulled his shirt over his face, seemingly to hide his embarrassment.

The clip instantly spread across social media, sparking a range of reactions. Many fans expressed discomfort, noting Jackson’s clear surprise. One user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote, “He looks so uncomfortable. Did no one read the room?” Another added, “Nobody should be kissed without their permission. He looks shocked.” Others, while amused by Jackson’s reaction, criticized the fan’s behaviour, calling it inappropriate.

Some users turned the moment into memes, with comments like “Bro, his face is actually frying me” and “He was terrified.” Others simply sympathized with Jackson, saying they wouldn’t appreciate such uninvited gestures either.

Fans can expect new singles soon as Jackson embarks on this bold new chapter.

BTS’ V’s Pistachio Croissant Face Stuffing Moment is Taking Over the Internet!

BTS’ V has once again taken the internet by storm—this time not for his fashion or music, but for indulging in a pistachio croissant. Decked out in head-to-toe Celine, the K-pop superstar was spotted outside La Pistacherie, a famed nut-based dessert shop in Paris, and social media has been buzzing ever since.

The viral videos and photos show V, also known as Kim Taehyung, enjoying the popular pistachio croissant with expressions so animated they could pass for a mukbang clip. His dessert-tasting moment, captured just after the Celine show during Paris Fashion Week, quickly became one of the most talked-about moments of the event.

The shop owner, featured in a video by Daily Fashion News, gave a heartfelt shoutout to the singer. “V, we love you so much! My wife is your biggest fan. Thank you for visiting. We didn’t know you were coming—they said you were having a meal. Hopefully next time, we can meet!”

According to the owner, V had heard about the croissant’s local fame and decided to try it after the Celine event. Footage shows him enjoying the treat surrounded by his security and managers, one of whom was seen holding pistachio ice cream—likely for V himself—as the team shared a light-hearted moment outside the shop.

Bigg Boss 19: Tanya Mittal’s Bold Move with Amaal Mallik’s Photo

0

The growing bond between Bigg Boss 19 contestants Tanya Mittal and Amaal Mallik has been a major topic of discussion among viewers. Though neither has openly confessed their feelings, their close interactions have fueled speculation online. Adding fuel to the fire, wildcard contestant Malti Chahar recently stirred controversy by claiming Tanya kissed Amaal’s photo during a task.

In the latest episode, Bigg Boss introduced a new twist: former captains were barred from the captaincy race, and their portraits were used in the task instead. The first round saw Nehal and Neelam go head-to-head, with Nehal accusing Neelam of cheating. Despite the drama, Nehal won, though she was visibly upset when her friend Baseer supported Neelam.

The second round featured Ashnoor Kaur and Gaurav. In a light moment, Ashnoor jokingly tossed sanchalak Abhishek Bajaj’s portrait, leading to laughter in the house. However, Abhishek’s decision to declare her the winner sparked a debate among housemates.

Next, Mridul and Shehbaz competed in a friendly face-off, which Shehbaz won with cheers from the housemates.

The tension rose again when Malti and Tanya faced off. With Amaal as the sanchalak, the round began calmly until Malti brought up Tanya’s family, shaking Tanya emotionally. Though Tanya managed to regain her focus and win the round, she broke down afterward, concerned about how the incident might be perceived outside the house.

Later, Malti told Neelam that Tanya had kissed Amaal’s photo during the task. However, the episode’s footage was inconclusive—it showed Tanya lying on the photo but did not clearly show a kiss.

Bigg Boss 19, hosted by Salman Khan, premiered on August 24, 2025, on JioHotstar and Colors TV. The season features a parliament-themed format, titled ‘Gharwalon Ki Sarkar’, with decision-making resting heavily on the housemates.

Get Ready for the Most Intimate Look at Melania Trump’s Life in Her New Documentary!

Amazon Studios has officially announced Melania, a feature-length documentary exploring the life of former First Lady Melania Trump, set to hit cinemas on January 30, 2026. A global streaming release will follow on Prime Video. Acquired for a reported $40 million, the documentary promises an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at Melania’s life during the 20 days leading up to the 2025 U.S. presidential inauguration.

Directed by Brett Ratner—his first film since stepping away from Hollywood in 2017 following multiple sexual misconduct allegations, which he has denied—the documentary is expected to be one of Amazon’s most high-profile and potentially controversial political projects. Ratner, best known for Rush Hour and Red Dragon, has since relocated to Israel and is currently also working on a separate film about the Abraham Accords.

Melania is said to present the former First Lady’s perspective directly, offering exclusive footage of her daily activities during the White House transition. According to Amazon, the film includes “critical meetings, private conversations, and never-before-seen environments,” documenting her efforts in orchestrating inauguration plans and reestablishing her public role.

Melania Trump herself is credited as a producer. In a January interview with Fox & Friends, she said filming began in November and captures her day-to-day life—from forming her First Lady team and preparing the White House residence, to managing the transition process.

She revealed the idea stemmed from the success of her memoir, praised for its unusually candid tone.

Adding to the media rollout, Amazon is also developing a three-part docuseries that will explore Melania’s life across New York, Washington D.C., and Palm Beach.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos reportedly attended Donald Trump’s 2025 inauguration, despite previous tensions with Trump over The Washington Post, adding further intrigue to the platform’s growing political content strategy.

0

The trailer for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, a highly anticipated Game of Thrones spinoff, was revealed at New York Comic Con, with author George R.R. Martin, showrunner Ira Parker, and lead actors Peter Claffey and Dexter Sol Ansell in attendance. Produced for HBO Max, the series is based on Martin’s Dunk and Egg novellas and is set 100 years before the events of Game of Thrones.

The story follows Ser Duncan the Tall (Dunk), a humble and honourable knight, and his quick-witted squire Egg. The trailer teases Dunk’s transformation from squire to knight as he vows to protect the vulnerable, all while journeying to the Ashford tourney—a key event in the story. Despite doubt from others, including members of House Targaryen, Dunk’s courage and sense of justice stand out, with Egg offering both humour and heart as his loyal companion.

HBO Max announced: “A tall tale that became legend. The new #GameOfThrones series, #AKnightoftheSevenKingdoms, premieres January 18 on HBO Max.” In India, the series will stream on JioHotstar starting January 19.

Set during a time when the Targaryens still rule Westeros and the memory of dragons lingers, the show promises powerful foes, epic adventures, and deep bonds of friendship. The official synopsis describes Dunk as “a young, naïve but courageous knight” and Egg as his “diminutive squire,” as they navigate a dangerous and politically charged realm.

The six-episode series, co-written by Martin and Ira Parker and co-directed by Adina Smith and Owen Harris, features a strong ensemble cast including Finn Bennett, Bertie Carvel, and Tanzyn Crawford. Each episode will run approximately 30 minutes, with the finale airing on February 25, 2026.

A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms offers a fresh lens into Westeros, expanding the rich lore of the Game of Thrones universe.

Singer – Jisoo and Zayn Malik

Check out Eyes Closed Song Lyrics by Jisoo and Zayn Malik

Time is standing still and I don’t wanna leave your lips
Tracing my body with your fingertips
I know what you’re feeling and I know you wanna say it (Yeah, say it)
I do too, but we gotta be patient (Gotta be patient)

‘Cause someone like me and someone like you
Really shouldn’t work, yeah, the history is proof
Damned if I don’t, damned if I do
You know, by now, we’ve seen it all

Said, oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed
Better if we keep it where we don’t know
The beds we’ve been in, the namеs and the faces of who we wеre with
And, oh, ain’t nobody perfect, but it’s all good
The past can’t hurt us if we don’t look
Let’s let it go, better if we fall in love with our eyes closed

Oh, oh, oh

I got tunnel vision every second that you’re with me
No, I don’t care what anybody says, just kiss me (Oh)

‘Cause you look like trouble, but it could be good
I’ve been the same, kind of misunderstood
Whatever you’ve done, trust, it ain’t nothing new
You know by now we’ve seen it all

Said, oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed
Better if we keep it where we don’t know
The beds we’ve been in, the names and the faces of who we were with
And, oh, ain’t nobody perfect, but it’s all good
The past can’t hurt us if we don’t look
Let’s let it go, better if we fall in love with our eyes closed

Oh, oh, oh
Keep your eyes closed

‘Cause someone like me and someone like you
Really shouldn’t work, yeah, the history is proof
Damned if I don’t, damned if I do
You know, by now, we’ve seen it all

Said, oh, we should fall in love with our eyes closed
Better if we keep it where we don’t know
The beds we’ve been in, the names and the faces of who we were with
And, oh, ain’t nobody perfect, but it’s all good
The past can’t hurt us if we don’t look
Let’s let it go, better if we fall in love with our eyes closed

Oh, with our eyes closed
