خلاصہ: Holly Humberstone Shares New Single ‘Die Happy’Holly Humberstone has returned with a new single entitled “Die Happy.” The track arrived alongside a music video directed by Silken Weinberg. Regarding the track, Humberstone said: “I wrote ‘Die Happy’ thinking about a fairytale at night, somewhere between driving fast with the windows down and wandering through a crumbling old house. I took inspiration from The Bloody Chamber and Dracula and I wanted to show the feeling of throwing yourself into love fully and recklessly. There is danger in love.” Click to load video As fans eagerly await Humberstone’s next era following the release of her sensational 2023 debut LP, Paint My Bedroom Black, those in Australia can catch her on the road in the coming weeks. Beginning on November 13, she’ll be performing a slew of shows on the continent, both as a headliner and in support of Sam Fender. The gigs begin in Melbourne before Humberstone travels to Newstead, Brisbane, and more. “Die Happy” marks Humberstone’s first new single since she released an updated version of “Dive” with Asha Banks back in July. The track was originally featured on Humberstone’s last release, work in progress, which arrived in March of 2024. The updated version of “Dive” is not the first track she’s re-released with the help of friends. In May of last year, she shared a three-track EP entitled Cocoon, which featured a new version of the title track with Medium Build; an update on “Into Your Room” with indie pop band MUNA; and a remixed offering of “Antichrist” alongside Tiny Habits. All of these moments serve as a bridge between Humberstone’s debut, Paint My Bedroom Black, and whatever sophomore effort she’s cooking up. “Die Happy” marks the beginning of a new era, one she has been working on for quite some time. When she announced the release date for “Die Happy” last week, she wrote on Instagram: “thank you for waiting for me to get it right.” Listen to Holly Humberstone’s “Die Happy” now.Source InformationPublisher: uDiscover MusicOriginal Source: Read more

خلاصہ: Jessica Simpson Celebrates 8 Years of Sobriety, Deserves All Your PraiseReading Time: 3 minutes Jessica Simpson is giving herself a well-deserved pat on the back. The artist recently opened up about her struggles with alcohol addiction while looking back on her 2017 decision to give up drinking. To mark the eighth anniversary of her sobriety, the 45-year old shared a post on Instagram, getting raw and real about the impact that her lifestyle change has had on her life and career. “8 years ago today I made the choice to confront, to confess and to let go of the self sabotaging parts of my life that I was choosing,” Simpson began the November 1 post. “Making that decision allowed me to fully live in the pursuit of Gods purpose for my life. Alcohol silenced my intuition, blocked my dreams and chased my circulating fears of complacency.” Back in 2021, Simpson shared a photo that contributed to her decision to quit alcohol. “The drinking wasn’t the issue. I was. I didn’t love myself. I didn’t respect my own power. Today I do. I have made nice with the fears and I have accepted the parts of my life that are just sad,” Simpson told followers in November 2021, adding back then: “I own my personal power with soulful courage. I am wildly honest and comfortably open. I am free.” Simpson has undergone a rather drastic physical transformation during this time, as well. She continued over this past weekend: “Today I am clear. Today I am driven by faith. Both fear and faith are something that we feel and may not see, I’m so happy I chose faith over fear. It was not in the fight that I found my strength, it was in the surrender.” The mother of three (Maxwell, 13, Ace, 12, and Birdie, 6) — who split from Eric Johnson several months ago — has long been candid about her substance abuse struggles. During a January 2020 interview with Today, she said that her turning point came on Halloween in 2017… when she failed to show up as a parent for her kids after drinking heavily. “I honestly couldn’t even tell you who got them ready,” she said at the time. “I was just dazed and confused, and I just wanted to go to sleep. I didn’t take them trick-or-treating. I didn’t show up for my family. I took the picture and I made the world think that I showed up.” One day later? Simpson started therapy and stopped imbibing. “I just realized that I had to surrender,” she said. “I just want to continue on the path that I’m on, and at this point in my life, now I’m strong enough to deal with anything that comes my way. Because I don’t have something to retreat to that will numb me from actually going through it.” Simpson returned to music earlier this year with her EP Nashville Canyon, Part 1, a collection of five soul and rockabilly-infused tunes. It was followed by a second part, which went for sale in September. Jessica Simpson Celebrates 8 Years of Sobriety, Deserves All Your Praise was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.Source InformationPublisher: The Hollywood GossipOriginal Source: Read more

خلاصہ: New STAR TREK Film Coming From The DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Filmmakers The Star Trek universe is setting a new course, and this time, it’s in the hands of the creative duo behind Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley have officially been hired by Paramount Pictures to write, produce, and direct a completely new Star Trek film, one that’s not tied to any previous movies, series, or development projects.According to Deadline, the upcoming project will be “a completely new take in the Star Trek universe and is not connected to any previous or current television series, movie, or prior movie development projects.” That means we’re in for a fresh story, with the potential for an entirely new crew and characters, a true reboot of the franchise for a new generation.For longtime fans, this news might feel like the first glimmer of hope in a turbulent decade for Star Trek on the big screen. After 2016’s Star Trek Beyond, Paramount’s plans for a follow-up with Chris Pine, Zoe Saldaña, and Zachary Quinto went through countless iterations. Projects came and went, and one of them included an R-rated pitch from Quentin Tarantino. Another come from Noah Hawley, and there were even talks of a Starfleet prequel, but none ever got off the ground.Meanwhile, the franchise thrived on streaming, with shows like Picard and Strange New Worlds reigniting excitement among fans. Now, with Goldstein and Daley onboard, it finally feels like that warp drive is powering back up.These two filmmakers have proven they can handle major franchises with humor, intelligence, and heart. Their work on Game Night and Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves showed their knack for blending sharp writing with genre-savvy fun. They also co-wrote Spider-Man: Homecoming, helping kick off the Tom Holland era of the MCU. Their upcoming film Mayday, due next year, reportedly continues their streak of mixing action, comedy, and creativity in unexpected ways.It’s honestly perfect that Daley is now stepping into the Star Trek universe. I like the idea that the geeky kid from that cult classic series Freaks & Geeks grew up to direct Dungeons & Dragons and now Star Trek. If Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves proved anything, it’s that Goldstein and Daley know how to take a beloved franchise and turn it into some really awesome and fun. If they can bring that same charm and balance of adventure, humor, and heart to Star Trek, we might be looking at the next great cinematic voyage for the final frontier.Source InformationPublisher: Geek TyrantOriginal Source: Read more

خلاصہ: Yearn, Baby! Yearn: Five Romances Full of PiningLonging. Thirst. Yearning. It doesn’t matter what you call it. One of the most fun elements of a romance novel is when one of the characters has been pining for the other – preferably for a long time and even better if both characters have been full of longing. Yes, the smooching and the sex and the main characters actually getting together is one of the most satisfying parts of reading romance. But you know what they say: hunger makes the best sauce. And the yearning in romance is what makes the characters getting together so incredible to read. I don’t know if I should blame Gilbert Blythe’s decade-long crush in Anne of Green Gables or Mr. Darcy struggling in vain in Pride and Prejudice, but I might just love the pining in a romance most of all. The most important part of a romance plot is conflict—a reason the characters can’t be together. And when you add pining into the mix, it makes the obstacles on the way to the happily ever after feel like the author is twisting the knife into their characters’ backs. These five romance novels feature a love-lorn R&B star, childhood best friends who never got over their first love, an utterly and completely inappropriate Regency pairing with regrettably good sexual chemistry, and the alpha from a werewolf pack. They all contain very different characters, plots, and subgenres, but what they all have in common is intense, delicious yearning. The Love Lyric by Kristina Forest Famous R&B singer Angel hasn’t just had a crush on his stylist’s sister, Iris, for years. He also wrote a song about their brief encounter at a wedding. And now it’s the song of the summer. Swoon. But Iris is a single mother and widow who wants professional success and companionship, not the kind of all-encompassing love she had and lost when her first husband died. A professional opportunity throws the two together when Angel becomes a brand ambassador for the makeup and beauty company where Iris works. Angel views this as his chance to finally woo the woman he’s been pining after. And despite Iris’ focus on doing a good job and getting a promotion, there is something about Angel she just can’t resist. Count Your Lucky Stars by Alexandria Bellefleur Margot and Olivia are childhood best friends, first loves, and first heartbreaks, and it’s been 10 years since they’ve seen each other. Margot has never been able to move on from their relationship and has only had casual hookups in the decade since they were together. Olivia has gotten married and divorced, but never stopped thinking about Margot and what could’ve been. A chance encounter, when Olivia becomes the wedding planner for Margot’s best friend, throws the pair back towards each other. Then circumstances bring them even closer when Margot accepts an offer to live temporarily in Olivia’s spare bedroom. After years of longing, will the two give in to fate and accept this second chance at love? Mate by Ali Hazelwood Serena has lived her whole life believing she’s second best, an orphan who nobody wants, and that she’s human. But she’s recently learned she’s half werewolf … which shouldn’t be possible. And now that everyone knows, her life is in danger from many different threats. Koen is the alpha wolf of the brutal and respected Northwest pack. The moment he sees Serena, he knows she is his mate. Despite the biologically encoded longing he feels for her, he’s determined not to force her into a relationship she doesn’t want. But he’s equally determined to keep her safe. Hate to Want You by Alisha Rai I’m going deep into Alisha Rai’s backlist, because this is one of my all-time favorite romance novels. And I’m pretty sure when you look up yearning in the romance dictionary, all you see is this book. Livvy and Nicholas are first loves from feuding families. When tragedy tore their families apart, they broke up, too. Nicholas stayed in New York to run the family business and Livvy ran away to become a tattoo artist and travel the world. For nine years, Livvy and Nicholas met up on her birthday for a night of mind-blowing, deep, emotional sex. Last year, Livvy didn’t show up, but now she’s back in town for the first time. And the two of them can’t seem to stay apart even in the face of family disapproval, long-held resentments, and the uncovering of past secrets. Her Night With the Duke by Diana Quincy When the Lady Delilah is stranded at a small inn, she gives in to a night of passion with a handsome stranger. They agree it has to be for one night only and don’t share any personal details. But then the next day, she discovers the handsome stranger is Elliot Townsend, Duke of Huntington—also known as her stepdaughter’s fiancé. And Elliot discovers the woman he can’t stop thinking about is his future mother-in-law. They agree to keep the night before a secret and never get close to each other again. But neither of them can forget the passion they shared or resist the chemistry that comes out every time they are in the same room. The way they long for each other in this very forbidden romance is so intense. Ready to fall into a yearning ring of fire? Or maybe to find out if this yearning is an eternal flame? I’ll stop with the song puns, and let you pick which of these romance novels full of pining you want to read first! For more yearning and pining and swooning, try these 12 romances with epic mutual pining.Source InformationPublisher: Book RiotOriginal Source: Read more

خلاصہ: How To Complete The Pursuit Of The Partyte Pentaptych In The Outer Worlds 2Do you plan on completing The Pursuit of the Partite Pentaptych in The Outer Worlds 2? This side quest takes place in Golden Ridge on the planet of Dorado, which is pretty much the second major/open-world area in the campaign. You do need to look for specific items, and the game doesn't even tell you where they can be found.All five mural locations in The Outer Worlds 2 - Golden RidgeYour goal in The Pursuit of the Partite Pentaptych, as the term sort of implies, is to find the five murals scattered all over the region. At best, you're told that these can be acquired from tram stations. The only problem is that the Golden Ridge is a blasted wasteland, and most of the railways are already destroyed. Golden Ridge mural locations mapIn any case, if you want to complete the Pursuit of Partite Pentaptych in The Outer Worlds 2, then you can check the map above. It shows the locations of all five murals in the region. We've numbered them accordingly starting from Alexandra Station Entrance, which is where your ship lands upon arriving in this zone. Mural location #1: Alexandra Station EntranceThe first mural essentially starts the quest itself. Simply exit your ship and go around to the interior of the station that's adjacent to the landing. You should see the mural on the wall. In front of it is a lore entry that tells you about the events that are being depicted. Anyway, just interact with the mural fragment with a darker hue to pick up the item. Mural location #2: Guardian EstatesSave for the fifth and final item, you can pick up the next Golden Ridge murals in The Outer Worlds 2 in any order. For now, though, we recommend doing the following:Go to Matriarch's Mercy to continue the main quest. Don't forget to pick up the bounties at the terminal outside the main building.Head to the southwestern part of the map. It's where you'll be able to tag the Guardian Estates fast travel point. If you picked up the bounties, you should have a mission called "Battle with the Beastly Brigands." It requires you to kill the Dunsany Brothers in the same area.Keep going up the hill until you see a tram station just before the large building. You'll find another mural inside. Don't forget to take out the Dunsany Brothers for the bounty reward, too. Mural location #3: Decommissioned Autonomous ExtractoriumFrom the previous location, head north until you arrive at the Decommissioned Autonomous Extractorium. You can actually recruit a companion named Aza inside the facility. As for the mural, it's inside a small building that's adjacent to the Extractorium. Mural location #4: N-Ray RangeIf you keep going north from the Extractorium, you'll come across the N-Ray Range. Venturing deeper into this facility is actually part of the main quest in this region, which is why we encouraged you to visit Matriarch's Mercy earlier. Here's a quick summary:You can find the N-Ray Scanner gadget in this facility. It allows you to see enemies, objects, and wiring through walls.The aforementioned companion, Aza, actually has a personal quest that you can undertake in this area.Dealing with the head honcho, Victor Clemens, is a key objective. Finishing this task eventually grants you access to the location of the fifth mural. (More on this shortly.)Now, for the item in this location, you need to continue exploring until you reach sub-level 2. Next, ride the elevator back to the top. The mural is in the chamber with the tramway. There's also a High Security Lockbox in the same room. Mural location #5: Alexandra MonasteryOnce you've finished the main objectives in Zyranium Manufactory VII and N-Ray Range, you should be ready for the next step in the main story:Return to Matriarch's Mercy and access the lift. This will take you to an instanced location/mini-dungeon called Alexandra Monastery.Proceed through the facility as normal, taking out enemies along the way. Eventually, you'll stumble upon a large garden area.The mural is inside the station at the right-hand side. Pick it up, and you should have all the Golden Ridge murals in The Outer Worlds 2. The Pursuit of Partite Pentaptych rewardsWhile you're tackling this quest and collecting murals, you've probably noticed a certain perk that pops up. This is the Art Enthusiast perk, which grants bonus XP to your character whenever companions defeat an enemy.At the conclusion of this quest, you'll have Art Enthusiast V--i.e. +10% XP from companion kills. It's a pretty decent way to gain levels quickly, especially if you also picked the Foot-in-Mouth Syndrome flaw. Oh, and all five mural pieces will also appear as decorations in the Incognito.That does it for our guide on how to complete The Outer Worlds 2 Pursuit of the Partitie Pentaptych quest. While you're at it, you might want to check these related topics:Alexandra Monastery puzzle - If you're still in Alexandra Monastery, you can solve a riddle to obtain a nifty reward.Character perks - Art Enthusiast is an additional perk, which means you don't need to spend a point to unlock it. Still, you might be curious about all the others that you can obtain in the game.Science Weekly Volumes - This is another collectible-type quest that you might've missed while exploring Eden/Paradise Island.Black market smugglers? Autocratic regimes? Rampaging Raptidons? Invisible cultists that can only be seen if you wear special goggles? These shenanigans need not cause any alarm because we've got you covered in our The Outer Worlds 2 guides hub.Source InformationPublisher: GameSpotOriginal Source: Read more

خلاصہ: Gore Verbinski on Disney’s PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN Future and Why Original Stories Matter MoreDisney may be steering the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise toward its next chapter, but the filmmaker who helped turn it into a blockbuster phenomenon has zero interest in climbing back aboard. Original trilogy director Gore Verbinski recently opened up about the reboot plans, and is more interested with moving on and chasing new story ideas. The Pirates of the Caribbean saga kicked off in 2003 with Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl , a movie that had no business working as well as it did. Disney took a gamble by handing the keys to Verbinski, fresh off the success of The Ring , and the result was lightning in a bottle. Verbinski went on to direct the full original trilogy, including Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest and Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End , shaping a wild, character-driven ride that was risky, a little strange, and epic. After that, the franchise kept going, but Verbinski stepped away. While promoting his new film Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die , Verbinski spoke candidly with ScreenRant about Disney continuing Pirates without him. He made it clear that returning isn’t on his radar, and his reasoning cuts straight to the heart of why so many filmmakers struggle with long-running franchises. “I wish them the best. I just don’t have anything. I feel like I did three and, for me, it was a great opportunity to learn and to try something,” Verbinski said. “I think we have to be at a place where the wheels are about to fall off. I think once you kind of know how to do something, it becomes less interesting or less dangerous. There’s just so little time, and there are so many stories to tell.” That says a lot about where Verbinski is coming from creatively. He isn’t interested in repeating a formula once it feels safe. He wants uncertainty, risk, and the feeling of taking a chance on something that might not work. That hunger for danger is what powered the early Pirates films, and it’s also why he’d rather chase new stories than revive old ones. Verbinski’s career path since leaving Pirates hasn’t exactly followed the franchise-heavy Hollywood playbook. He scored a major win with the animated western Rango in 2011, but after The Lone Ranger stumbled in 2013, his output slowed significantly. Aside from the ambitious and often overlooked A Cure for Wellness in 2017, Verbinski has largely stayed out of the spotlight. His latest film marks only his fourth directing effort since 2007. Meanwhile, Disney isn’t dropping anchor on Pirates of the Caribbean anytime soon. Development continues on the next installment, and there’s renewed optimism among fans that Johnny Depp could return as Captain Jack Sparrow. Disney cut ties with Depp in 2016 following domestic abuse allegations made by Amber Heard , but after Depp won his defamation case in 2022, the door slowly cracked back open. Depp is officially back in the studio system, starring in Marc Webb ’s Day Drinker and signing on for Ti West ’s Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol . While Disney appears to be cautiously gauging audience response, all signs point to Depp being closer than ever to reclaiming the role that defined a generation of blockbuster moviegoing. Verbinski, though, is content watching from afar. His comments are a reminder that cinema doesn’t survive on endless reboots and stretched-out sequels. Original stories, risky ideas, and filmmakers willing to jump without a safety net are what keep movies exciting.Source InformationPublisher: GeekTyrantOriginal Source: Read more

خلاصہ: Disney announces Josh D’Amaro will be its new CEO after Iger departsStop me if you've heard this one before. Disney has announced a successor to outgoing CEO Bob Iger, effective in March. Josh D’Amaro, current chairman of Disney Experiences, was tapped for the role in a unanimous vote by the company's board of directors. D’Amaro has been at Disney for 28 years, where he oversaw theme parks, cruises and consumer products including video games. The company had previously appointed Bob Chapek, the Disney Parks chairman at the time, as successor to Bob Iger in 2020. At the time, Iger had served as CEO since 2005. But Chapek only lasted until 2022, when Bob Iger returned to take the helm once again amid company struggles. Disney formed a committee to find an appropriate successor in 2023, with Iger mentoring potential candidates along the way. Iger's time at the helm saw the media giant make a number of significant moves such as launching the Disney+ streaming service, buying Hulu and acquiring 20th Century Fox's film and television studios. Iger will continue to serve as a board member and senior advisor until his retirement at the end of the year.
