‘Painting’s dangerous work!’ The artist whose tools are brushes and power sanders

Mexico's film and TV industry is sending mixed signals—some say it's struggling, others see growth. After a slowdown in 2023-24 due to Hollywood strikes, early 2025 brought a surprising 16% jump in production activity. Netflix’s investment and local incentives seem to be pulling in more projects, turning Mexico into a hotspot for filmmakers.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about movies—it’s about jobs, tourism, and Mexico becoming a bigger player in global entertainment. If the momentum holds, it could mean more opportunities for local talent and a stronger creative economy. For audiences, it might also mean fresh stories from a region with rich cultural roots.

FIFA is shaking things up by adding a star-studded halftime show to the Club World Cup Final for the first time ever. J Balvin, Doja Cat, and Tems will take the stage at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium on July 13, with the performance broadcast worldwide. The event is being orchestrated by Global Citizen, promising a high-energy spectacle alongside the soccer action.

Editor’s Note: Halftime shows have long been a hallmark of major U.S. sports events (looking at you, Super Bowl), but FIFA’s move signals a push to blend global soccer with mainstream entertainment. Booking artists like J Balvin and Doja Cat—huge names with massive cross-genre appeal—suggests FIFA wants to draw younger, more diverse audiences. For fans, it’s a win: more reasons to tune in beyond just the game. And for the artists, it’s a chance to shine on one of sports’ newest (and biggest) stages.

Zawe Ashton, known for her role in Dreams of a Life, and Loki star Tom Hiddleston are expecting their second child together. The couple, who’ve kept their relationship relatively private, are adding another little one to their family three years after welcoming their first.

Editor’s Note: For fans of the couple, this is a sweet update—Hiddleston and Ashton have been low-key about their personal lives, so any news feels like a rare peek into their world. It’s also a reminder that even A-listers have quiet, joyful milestones amid the Hollywood chaos.

Pop sensation Billie Eilish and actor Nat Wolff have officially put those dating rumors to rest—with a very public balcony makeout session. After months of speculation, the pair left little to the imagination, sparking a frenzy among fans and gossip outlets alike.

Editor’s Note: Celebrity romances always grab attention, but when it’s someone as globally famous as Billie Eilish, it’s bound to dominate headlines. Fans are invested in her personal life almost as much as her music, and this confirmation adds fuel to the tabloid fire—plus, it’s just juicy gossip for anyone who loves a little Hollywood drama.

Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan and his wife Jaya Bachchan have made sure their wealth is split equally between their kids, Shweta and Abhishek, putting their money where their mouth is when it comes to gender equality. The big reveal? Their old family home, Pratiksha—worth a cool ₹50 crore—has already been handed to Shweta. With the Bachchan family’s total net worth hitting ₹1,600 crore, this move sets a clear example of fairness in an industry (and society) where old-school inheritance biases often linger.

Editor’s Note: Inheritance drama in Bollywood families usually reads like a soap opera, but Big B’s decision cuts through the noise. By treating both kids equally, he’s not just dividing property—he’s making a statement. In a country where sons often get the lion’s share, this feels like progress, even if it’s coming from a billionaire’s playbook. Plus, it’s a rare peek into how megastars handle their fortunes behind the scenes.
