Arijit Singh makes history: First Indian artist to headline UK stadium

Sophie Habboo, known for her role on Made in Chelsea, is teaming up with her husband Jamie Laing as his new Radio 1 co-host. Meanwhile, I’m A Celeb breakout star GK Barry is also joining the station’s weekend lineup. It’s all part of a fresh shake-up at the BBC’s youth-focused station.

Editor’s Note: Radio 1 is clearly betting on familiar faces—and a bit of star power—to keep its audience engaged. Habboo and Laing’s real-life chemistry could make for lively radio, while GK Barry’s addition taps into the buzz around reality TV personalities. For listeners, it’s a sign the station’s keeping things fresh (and maybe a little chaotic).

Turner Prize-winning artist Rachel Whiteread’s latest exhibition at the Goodwood Art Foundation is a striking blend of beauty and bleakness. Set against the idyllic backdrop of West Sussex woodlands, her massive concrete sculptures—like a mortuary table and a staircase—create a jarring yet mesmerizing contrast between nature and industrial decay. The show feels like stepping into a vintage rock album cover, where serene landscapes collide with haunting, man-made forms.

Editor’s Note: Whiteread’s work has always played with memory and absence, turning everyday objects into ghostly monuments. This exhibition’s rural setting amplifies that tension—nature’s tranquility vs. concrete’s permanence—making it a must-see for art lovers who appreciate thought-provoking contrasts. It’s not just a display of sculptures; it’s an experience that lingers, much like the impressions her casts leave behind.

Kneecap, the Irish rap trio, just announced a rescheduled show in Glasgow after being dropped from the TRNSMT lineup—and fans wasted no time. The pre-sale for their July 8 gig at the O2 Academy vanished in seconds, proving their fanbase is as fired up as ever.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another concert sellout—it’s a statement. Kneecap’s rapid ticket grab shows their momentum hasn’t slowed, even after the TRNSMT snub. For fans, it’s a win; for the music scene, it’s proof that grassroots support can outshine festival politics.

Philipp Käßbohrer, the creative force behind How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast) and co-founder of bildundtonfabrik, is set to receive Deadline’s 2025 German TV Disruptor Award at Seriencamp in Cologne. Known for his sharp, visually bold storytelling, Käßbohrer helped turn the Netflix series into a cult hit—and this award highlights his knack for shaking up the industry with fresh, unconventional ideas.

Editor’s Note: Awards like this aren’t just about patting someone on the back—they spotlight the people pushing TV in new directions. Käßbohrer’s work, especially How to Sell Drugs Online (Fast), proves that risky, offbeat storytelling can resonate globally. For fans of inventive TV, this is a nod to the kind of creativity that keeps the medium exciting.

Veteran Marathi actor Ashok Saraf once gave his struggling friend and fellow actor Nana Patekar just Rs 5 for a foot massage—but this tiny payment was actually a big act of kindness. Back when Nana was starting out and broke, Ashok, already successful, found subtle ways to help him out, like "losing" card games on purpose or slipping him small amounts of cash. He even offered Nana a blank cheque during a crisis. It’s a heartwarming peek into how small gestures can mean everything when someone’s down on their luck.

Editor’s Note: Beyond the glitz of Bollywood, this story reminds us that real success isn’t just fame—it’s about lifting others up when they need it. Ashok’s quiet generosity (and Nana’s openness about it) shows how camaraderie, not competition, defines lasting legacies in the industry. It’s also a refreshing break from the usual gossip-heavy celebrity narratives.
