Richard E. Grant's Admiration For Barbra Streisand Got Its Hollywood Ending at the Oscars
Apart from being an Oscar-nominated actor, Richard E. Grant is a "lifelong fan" of Barbra Streisand. In fact, earlier this year, Richard made a pilgrimage to the icon's home in Malibu for the simple purpose of taking a selfie in front of her gate. He also shared a letter he wrote to Barbra when he was 14! The whole thing was incredibly sweet and Barbra ended up responding on Twitter, to which Richard promptly freaked the f*ck out. Then, the Oscars happened.
On Sunday, Richard was nominated in the best supporting actor category for his role in Can You Ever Forgive Me?. Barbra was also at the ceremony to introduce the BlacKkKlansman best picture package. As soon as she stepped onstage, Richard looked visibly overcome with emotion. Following the award show, the two finally got to meet at the Governors Ball afterparty! Alongside a series of (albeit blurry) Instagram photos from their encounter, Richard wrote, "Being Oscar nominated was pretty amazing, but meeting with @barbrastreisand and having a proper conversation was an absolute astonishment." Dreams do come true! Witness how the story unfolded ahead.

Netflix Is Streaming a Version of The Notebook With a Totally Different Ending - Um, What?!
Is The Notebook a perfect movie? No - there are large swaths of people out there who believe James Marsden's character, Lon, deserved better, and I personally am not fond of the way Noah all but forces Allie into a date by threatening to kill himself on the Ferris wheel. But hey, it's The Notebook; we all know what we're signing up for when we watch it! (Romance, heartbreak, anguish, house porn.)
However, it seems Netflix has decided to either tweak the film's iconic, devastating ending, or air a rarely seen alternate ending now that the Nicholas Sparks adaptation is streaming on the platform in the UK. Naturally, fans are upset.
Warning: spoilers for the film's ending to follow. But also it's been 15 years, guys! Come on.
In the film, we bounce back and forth in time between two couples: Noah (Ryan Gosling) and Allie (Rachel McAdams), and a much older pair in a retirement home named Duke (James Garner) and Allie (Gena Rowlands). It's not until the end that we discover Duke has actually been an older Noah all along, and Allie, who is suffering from Alzheimer's, is indeed an older version of McAdams's character. One night, Duke/Noah sneaks into her room, and she blissfully remembers who he is and their history shortly before they die in each others' arms in their sleep. Cue the sobs.
Some users in the UK are now reporting that the version of the film they're seeing on Netflix cuts off before Noah and Allie are found dead in their room the next morning. Instead, it apparently jumps from the pair embracing before they go to sleep to a shot of birds flying in the sky, leaving their fate vague and open-ended. We have to wait until March 1 before it starts streaming in the US to see if that version of the film will get the same treatment. In the meantime, you can read through the entertaining (and irate) reactions from fans, ahead.

Here's Proof That Lady Gaga and Irina Shayk Clearly Have Nothing but Love For Each Other
The chemistry between Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper was felt by everyone during their dazzling performance of "Shallow" at Sunday night's Oscars. Even though the internet would love to believe that the A Star Is Born costars are also in love in real life, let's not forget that Bradley is already taken by girlfriend Irina Shayk and they have a 1-year-old daughter named Lea together. Awkward, right? Actually, not really. While people are convinced that there's some sort of weird tension between the ladies, it looks like they have nothing but love for each other.
In addition to sitting next to each other and giggling during the ceremony, Gaga and Irina were also caught sharing a sweet hug in the audience. Now I don't know about you, but that hug seemed pretty damn real to me. So, while the internet may choose to believe that Gaga and Bradley are secretly in love, I think what's really going on here is that Gaga and Bradley are just that good at acting. I mean, Gaga did win the Critics' Choice Award for best actress, after all.

To All the Boys I've Loved Before's Noah Centineo and Lana Condor Reunited, and OMG
Be still my heart: Peter Kavinsky and Lara Jean shared a moment at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty! On Sunday, To All the Boys I've Loved Before stars Noah Centineo and Lana Condor posed for a sweet photo during film's biggest night.

As we await more information about the buzzy sequel, let's just sit back and enjoy the stars' incredibly cute reunion, shall we?

All the Details on Dolly Parton's New Netflix Anthology Series
Music legend Dolly Parton has been having a resurgence of sorts lately. At this year's Grammy Awards, she was honored with a huge tribute that included goddaughter Miley Cyrus, Little Big Town, Katy Perry, and a slew of other artists (plus she took the stage herself!). Parton's next move is a new venture for her: creating a Netflix miniseries. Heartstrings, set to debut later in 2019, is already shaping up to be a buzzy series. We've rounded up everything we know so far about the show!
The Concept
According to Variety, Heartstrings will be an anthology series with eight episodes. Each episode, which will be a standalone story with a totally different cast and setting, will also be based off one of Parton's iconic songs - yes, including "Jolene." For the most part, this music-based concept is the only thing connecting the episodes. However, Parton herself is also slated to fill a connecting role: she will appear in every episode in some way. In some episodes, she may have a role in the actual story; for others, she will simply host an introduction to the episode. Variety also reported that "each episode will begin with an introduction by Parton talking/singing to camera about the meaning behind each song."
The Hollywood Reporter has the basic synopses for each of the eight episodes, and they range in style and even genre. One episode, named after Parton's famous hit "Jolene," follows a singer-songwriter longing to get out of a small town. Others have historical settings, from the 1880s to the 1940s and more. Some episodes appear to be mostly comedies, while others are more dramatic. The one common thread is Parton's music and her desire to dramatize the stories and themes behind the songs.
The Cast
Unlike other anthologies like American Horror Story, where the same actors cycle through several stories and play different characters in each new "universe," Heartstrings will have a different cast for each of its eight episodes. The biggest news, as reported by The Hollywood Reporter, is that Julianne Hough will star in the "Jolene" episode - alongside Parton herself. Hough plays Jolene, "a flirtatious free spirit who wants to escape her hometown of Coventry, Georgia, and become a singer-songwriter," while Parton will appear as Babe, "a 'force of nature' and the owner of Baby Blue's, a honky-tonk known for its scantily clad servers and eclectic crowd. She looks after all her waitresses but feels especially close to Jolene."
Other episodes will star Once Upon a Time vets Ginnifer Goodwin and Colin O'Donoghue (sorry, not in the same episode!), Scandal's Bellamy Young, and Oscar winner Melissa Leo. The cast also includes several young stars and newcomers to the TV world.
The Music
Each episode of Heartstrings is inspired by a Parton song, but no word yet on how the songs will fit into the structure. They may be performed in some episodes - casting musically-inclined actors like Hough would seem to indicate this is the case - but there has been no official announcement either way. As the series gets closer to its debut, more details are sure to arrive!

Arya Serious?! Game of Thrones Oreos Are Coming Soon
I may not be the mother of dragons, but I'd like to be known as the mother of Oreos. I consider my hidden talent finishing off a sleeve in one sitting, preferably while binge-watching my favorite series. So imagine my delight now that we can confirm: Game of Thrones-themed Oreos are coming soon! According to Instagram user and possible food detective, @candyhunting, the chocolate sandwich cookies will hit shelves before the HBO's show final season premiere on April 14.
It looks like there won't be any changes to the traditional Oreos, but they will be decked out in dark packaging, showing off the names of House Targaryen, Lannister, and Stark. This appears to be the latest in GoT's "#ForTheThrone" campaign, which already resulted in an Urban Decay collection and a Bud Light Super Bowl commercial.

Taron Egerton Isn't a Household Name Yet - but Rocketman Might Change That
Elton John's musical biopic Rocketman is only a few months away from its theatrical release date, and if the first full-length trailer is anything to go by, it's going to be a wacky, wild ride. The film, which is produced by John himself, tracks the pop icon's rise from an ordinary youth to an international music sensation and showman. Although actor Taron Egerton, who plays John, has been around Hollywood for a few years now, he's still not quite an A-list name. Here's what you need to know about the young Welsh actor who earned John's personal approval for the role.
For the most part, Egerton's career has been in very British movies. After graduating with his acting degree from the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, he snagged a couple of roles on British television. From there, his film career really kicked off in 2014, when he starred in two very different movies that both earned notice: as soldier Edward Brittain in the World War I drama Testament of Youth - which earned Egerton a nomination for the best newcomer award at the London Film Festival - and as young spy "Eggsy" in the spy comedy Kingsman: The Secret Service. He then reprised his Kingsman role in 2017 for the sequel Kingsman: The Golden Circle.
Egerton learned to play piano and really does sing in Rocketman, but it's not his first time singing for a film. In 2016, Egerton voiced the character of Johnny for the animated musical comedy Sing and was required to sing two songs. In a prophetic turn of events, one of the songs he recorded was "I'm Still Standing" - one of John's big hits. He also lent his vocals to a cover of The Zombies' "The Way I Feel Inside."
In 2018, Egerton tackled two very different movies about criminal financial activity. He costarred with Ansel Elgort, Jeremy Irvine, and Emma Roberts in Billionaire Boys Club, a movie about a real-life criminal ring in the 1980s; the movie was delayed by sexual harassment and assault claims against costar Kevin Spacey and was eventually released to critical and commercial failure. Egerton's Robin Hood, an origin-story-style adventure film, also met with weak box office and reviews. However, if Rocketman is as exciting as the first look seems to be, Egerton's fortunes may be about to take a turn for the better! You can check out some of his previous roles in the gallery below.

Candice Patton on Representation and the Profound Impact of Playing Iris on The Flash
Image Source: The CW
Candice Patton has developed a strong fan base for her role as Iris West-Allen on The Flash, but she's also had to deal with a fair amount of haters. Since getting cast as Iris, the actress has dealt with a ton of unwarranted harassment for portraying a character who was white in the comics. During POPSUGAR Play/Ground last year, Candice opened up about how she's overcome the hate while chatting with POPSUGAR's Kirbie Johnson during the Screen Queens panel with fellow CW stars Ashleigh Murray, Vanessa Morgan, and Caity Lotz.
"Comic book fans are very opinionated [and] very vocal," she explained. "So it was very scary stepping into that role when I started the show." She recalled that one of the producers actually warned her to not go online after she was cast due to all the negative comments. While it wasn't easy dealing with the harassment at first, it did get better eventually. "Over time, people have embraced me and embraced this character, and I know it's really important," she said. "What's great is that in years to come, people will remember Iris West as being African American."
Not only has she influenced how people will see Iris in years to come, but she has also made a great impact on her fellow CW costars. During the panel, Riverdale's Ashleigh Murray expressed how she dealt with similar harassment when she was first cast as Josie. "Josie is originally white in the comics and so is Melody," she explained. "We all ended up coming in as an all-black group."
While she's seen "people say some really unfortunate things" online, Ashleigh admitted that the gratitude and support she's received from fans outshines the negativity. "Now it's just white noise," she added. "I don't even notice it or see it much anymore. And it's probably thanks to [Candice], because if you had to go through it before I did, you probably made the transition a little bit easier."

Candice added that she's OK taking on the criticism if it means more women of color don't have to deal with it later. "The more we get cast, the more we unfortunately take the brunt, the easier it's going to get on every woman of color that comes after us," she said. "It's going to become the normal, I hope, sooner than later. If I have to deal with crap online so a girl that looks like me 10 years from now can successfully be on a show without any of that, then it's well worth it."

The Way Glenn Close Acted When She Saw Lady Gaga at the Oscars Is How I Would've, Too
Glenn Close might not have won an Oscar at the 91st Academy Awards on Sunday, but she did give us a couple dramatic performances. When Lady Gaga walked by Glenn after winning the Oscar for best original song, Glenn took Lady Gaga's hand and straight-up grazed it across her cheek with her eyes closed - honestly, wouldn't you have done the same? Earlier in the evening, Glenn also made us all laugh when she had the hands-down best reaction to seeing Melissa McCarthy on the red carpet in a gorgeous pantsuit.
The 71-year-old actress was nominated for best actress for her role as Joan Castleman in The Wife, but Olivia Colman took home the big award for her work in The Favourite. Even though we didn't get a would-be iconic speech from Glenn, at least we can appreciate this adorable moment between her and another icon, Lady Gaga.

Winning America's Got Talent isn't quite like winning other reality competition shows. Not only does the winner take home a pretty big cash prize, but they also typically find themselves with a slew of offers in their specialty. Of course, that specialty can vary widely, since AGT is, at its heart, a really glitzy, scaled-up version of your elementary school talent show, where anything truly goes.
Over the years, the winners of AGT have definitely proved that to be true, as singers have taken home the title alongside ventriloquists, magicians, and other novelty acts.

5 Types Of Mascara Wands That You Need To Invest In
In the beauty world, they say nothing is unachievable if you have the right tools. Want a flawless base? You have the good ol‘ beauty blender. Want fuller lips? Lip plumbers and liners will come to your rescue… What about when it comes to enhancing those eyelashes to give you a wider and fuller look? While a lash curler, a pre-mascara application, is the preferred and sure-shot way, there’s also another important key to this shindig—Choosing the right wand for you!
Selecting the right mascara wand can be beneficial to you in many ways. Your eyelashes can be more enhanced, your eyes can look and feel more open, and your overall eye makeup look can definitely stand out from the crowd! But before you purchase the appropriate tube, here’s what you need to know about different kinds of mascara wands designed for different looks.
The Straight Bristle Wand: For a basic look
If you’re looking for a natural but fluttery effect, a traditional, straight-bristled brush is perfect for you. It adds just the right amount of length and fullness to the lashes.
The Curved Bristle Wand: For a curled look
Because of the shapely curved bristles of this wand, one can get the most curved and defined lashes. Since the bristles are designed to have a slight curl to them, it follows the natural shape of one’s real lash to add further lift. You might not even need to use a lash curler before the mascara application with this one.
The Nylon Bristle Wand: For a voluminous look
It’s the most basic kind of wand you’ll find. The nylon bristles in this wand are bunched and styled close together to get most of the product deposited on the eyelashes. They help lift and add volume to the lashes.
The Plastic Bristle Wand: For a fluttery look
Want clump-free lashes? A plastic bristle wand is a great choice! Thin and finely shaped bristles separate and coat each lash to the maximum, resulting in a widely-opened and dramatic looking eye.
The Circular Bristle Wand: For opening up the lower lash line
If you’re looking for precision, use a circular, sphere-like shaped wand. The bristles on this kind of brush help to apply the product to smaller areas of your lash-line.

5 Common Reasons Why You Might Be Feeling Tired During A Workout
Workouts are meant to make you feel energised and pumped up. But if you feel you’re getting too tired while working out, you should know something’s off. But don’t you worry, you can mend this and get the best out of a workout session. But the first step to this is identifying what the issue really is. And so, we have compiled a list of reasons as to why you get tired in your workouts. It will give you an insight into what’s going wrong. Read on to find out!
1. Relax
Your body needs a good amount of relaxation if you’re engaging in a lot of physical activities throughout the day. Getting a sound sleep of at least 6 to 8 hours will help your body gain energy to perform like a pro during the whole day. Recovery time is important for your body and if you start following this, you will really notice the positive changes.
2. Emotional Energy
Believe it or not, your emotional energy does affect your physical energy. So if you’re feeling sloppy or lethargic in your workouts, think about where your emotional energy is draining the most and try to work on that. If you’re emotionally exhausted, you will feel exhausted physically too.
3. Hydration
The easiest way to understand if you’re hydrated properly is to notice how your body reacts after a workout. If you feel like drinking gallons of water after working out, you haven’t hydrated yourself enough. It is advised to drink water before and even during a workout.
4. Extreme Workout Sessions
Setting realistic goals by considering how your body is taking it is so important! You shouldn’t feel the need to reach your fitness goal quickly, it’s okay to give your body its time to get there. Or else, your body will eventually stop working properly too.
5. Weather
It might sound stupid or unreal, but the weather does affect how your body feels while working out. During summers, you might notice that you feel drained quite quickly. Winters, too, have a similar effect. Finding the motivation to leave the bed and get going becomes increasingly difficult in the cold weather. The solution for this is to time your workout at the coolest time of the day during the summers and the brightest time of the day during the winters.
Which of these factors do you think might be affecting your workout sessions too? Let us know in the comments below.

Here’s How Taapsee Pannu Is Redefining Geek-Chic Style
It’s so funny to see that the very same elements like the spectacles, the pleated skirts and the crisp white shirt that we hated during our childhood are making a come back now with the geek chic fashion. This is not a new concept though, it’s been around for quite some time. But the way it is interpreted has changed completely. Nerdy glasses are back in action but the outfits that they are teamed with are now different. They have become chicer if we dare say.
What’s Geek Chic Exactly?
Geek chic might have entered the Oxford Dictionary just now, in 2013, but the trend has been popular since the early 2000s. It’s truly the culmination of the two words geek and chic. The Oxford Dictionary defines it as, “The dress, appearance, and culture associated with computing and technology enthusiasts, regarded as stylish or fashionable”. Earlier, it was limited to a black rectangular frame and more formal-ish attire or a completely casual one, but now there are more stylish layers to it. People, internationally, are now making bolder choices and reimaging the trend in a new, more fashionable way.
One person from B-Town that has taken the lead in this particular style is Taapsee Pannu. She is currently on a promotional spree for her upcoming movie, Badla, for which she sported one geek-chic look after another. To know more about these looks, we got in touch with celebrity stylist Devki B. She told us that the character of the movie played an important part in coming up with Taapsee’s promotional style. Also, she further explained her styling choices for Taapsee:
Basically, every promotion we do is inspired by her character and is a mere extension of her character in the movie, but in a more relatable or glamorous way. (It’s) to make them more event-worthy.
Now, if you’re wondering how geek-chic style fits in with Taapsee’s character in Badla, then check out what she had to say about her character:
I play a businesswoman who is strong headed, not like I have played such roles before but this one character had a different shade to it as well, which I hadn’t come across earlier and hence found that very challenging.
The power move of the cool frames and the fashionable take on the businesswear are the elements that make Taapsee’s refreshing geek-chic style noteworthy. Here are some of her looks that we’re taking our lessons from:
1. Neutral Notes
Give character to your white shirt by scrunching up your sleeves and team it with beige flared trousers.
2. All-Black, Errything
Why wear an ordinary pencil skirt when you can wear a faux leather one? Also, billowy cuffed sleeves top makes for a great statement piece.
3. Checked & Knifed
Add more fashionable flair to your knife pleat skirt with a checkered, stylised top.
4. Statement Of Stripes
Formal up with the combo of a dress and a jacket, but add the fun with the playfulness of stripes.
5. Polka Dot Play
Who said a playful polka dot jumpsuit can’t get serious? Just team it with a tailored blazer and continue the gun with white sneakers.
6. The New Pantsuit
Take a plunge into structured matching separates and let them work as a new style of the pantsuit. A high neck top underneath and complementary accessories add character to the overall look.
7. Work Those Shorts
Summer shorts can look formal too. Team them with a coordinated blazer and striped shirt for a more serious vibe.
8. Black & White
A structured peplum top with a unique design twist makes of a great statement piece. Make sure you keep the rest of your ensemble simple and neat.
9. A Pop Of Pink
An eye-catching jacket is all you need for a drool-worthy look. A pop of pink is what complements an all-black ensemble instantly.
The frames and the heels are the accessories that play an important role in this type of trend. So, when you’re trying it out make sure these two elements are on point.
Which one of these looks will you be trying out? Let us know in the comments below.

7 Easy & Simple Ways To Boost Your Metabolism
If you’re trying to lose weight and wondering why your body isn’t burning calories quickly, maybe the reason behind it is your metabolism. But you don’t have to worry because you can control your metabolism speed. It majorly depends on your lifestyle and your food intake. So, we have listed 7 super easy and simple ways to fasten your metabolism. Check ’em out!
1. Sit Less, Stand More
It’s that easy! A lot of studies revealed that an afternoon of standing up can help burn more than 170 extra calories, as compared to sitting.
2. Cold Water FTW
Drinking water in general speeds up your metabolism temporarily. But drinking cold water burns much more calories as your body uses energy to heat it up to the body’s temperature.
3. Lotsa Protein
To maintain lean muscle, your body requires protein! It amplifies the post-meal calorie burn by almost 35% and also helps you feel full, thus avoiding over-eating.
4. Lift Heavy Things
If you compare muscle and fat, the former is much more metabolically active. And what better way to build muscles than to lift heavy weights!
5. Drink Green Tea
Some studies have shown that drinking green tea or oolong tea helps speed up metabolism by 4-5%. Basically, drinking these teas helps in converting fat into free fatty acids in small amounts by anywhere between 10% to 17%.
6. Get A Good, Sound Sleep
Lack of sleep is one of the many reasons for obesity. The science behind it is simple and can be observed easily. If you sleep lesser, it decreases the leptin hormone—which makes you feel full and boosts the ghrelin hormone—which makes you feel hungry.
7. Don’t Starve
Skipping meals is bad for metabolism. It slows down and instead starts saving calories to compensate for the deficiency of food. This happens because—when you finally do eat after starving, your body is reminded that it was functioned for a long duration without food and so will store more calories to be ready for the next time you’ll starve yourself again.
Now that you know how effin’ easy it is to boost your metabolism, which of these tips will you be following? Let us know in the comments below.

Nick Jonas’ Ex-Girlfriend Miley Cyrus Left This Comment On Priyanka Chopra’s Picture
Before getting married to the woman of his dreams, i.e our desi girl, Priyanka Chopra, Nick Jonas once dated Miley Cyrus – who is now married to Liam Hemsworth. Recently, we were happy to know that there’s no bad blood between the exes as the Hannah Montana star complimented PeeCee for her look at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party.
Priyanka’s makeup artist for the evening, Pati Dubroff posted this killer picture of her on Instagram:
And fans went crazy when Miley commented saying, “Pretty! Love <3”
Priyanka recently worked with Miley’s husband, Liam in the film, Isn’t It Romantic.
The latter couldn’t attend his film’s premiere due to some health issues but Miley was present there on his behalf. Fans are now demanding PC and Miley get together and treat them with a picture. Now that would be EPIC, wouldn’t it?!

7 Reasons You Need To Have A Spoonful Of Coconut Oil Every Day
Nowadays, more and more people are opting for a healthier lifestyle. And why shouldn’t they? It’s so much better for the body in the long run. People are now watching what they eat, starting regular workouts and even going for yoga and meditation. When we speak of a healthy life, we ought to mention food intake. Because, until you don’t eat healthily, you can’t actually adopt a healthy life no matter how rigorous your workouts are. There are a bunch of superfoods you can eat that will provide a lot of nutrition to your body on a daily basis. Today, we’re gonna tell you about the health benefits of consuming coconut oil on a daily basis. You can add it to your salads, cook with it or even have it raw straight out of the jar. Here’s how it can improve your body’s overall functioning.
1. It helps in burning fat
Eating a spoonful of coconut oil daily will help you speed up your metabolism, making it easier for your body to burn fat and eventually lose weight. It is especially helpful to burn belly fat. Since it is thermogenic (generating a high amount of heat to stimulate metabolism that leads to weight loss), it helps increase energy consumption, leading to burning fat. So, if you’ve been struggling to lose that pesky lower belly fat, coconut oil can be your answer to it.
2. It can kill harmful bacteria
Much like apple cider vinegar, coconut oil too has anti-microbial properties that kill bad bacteria. This particularly is effective to kill germs that cause infections and even fight bad breath. So, take a spoonful of coconut oil and swirl it around in your mouth just before you head for a date, so there are no complains.
3. Reduces Appetite
While coconut oil helps in burning fat, it also helps in consuming lesser calories because it tends to reduce your appetite so you don’t eat a lot when you’re hungry.
4. It helps in easing digestion
This is a boon for people who suffer from digestive disorders like stomach ulcers, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Ulcerative Colitis and even proctitis. These are all caused when the gastrointestinal system doesn’t function properly. Coconut oil contains Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs) that enhance the immune system to fight bacteria that cause these infections. Consuming coconut oil also reduces inflammation in the gut that is caused due to a sensitive stomach or even eating wrong.
5. It makes it tough for cancer cells to grow
This oil produces ketones in the body that provide healthy cells energy to function all day ignoring cancer cells. And since these cells do not have the energy to multiply effectively, it slows their growth rate.
6. It’s good for the heart
The primary MCT in coconut oil, lauric acid, increases good cholestrol in the body, making it extremely healthy for the heart.
7. It’s good for the skin and hair
The fatty acids in coconut oil help in nourishing the overall health of your body giving utmost nourishment to skin, nails and hair.
Apart from all the above, there are many more health benefits of coconut oil. It helps in enhancing the memory, in building muscle, in curing urinary tract infections, keeping the teeth white and more. This oil is not only extremely beneficial for overall health, but is also easy to add to your daily meals.
So, what are you waiting for? Add this to the top of your grocery shopping list and make sure to consume it on a daily basis!

इश्कबाज़ में होगी रिद्धि डोगरा की एंट्री, लेकर आएंगी शिवांश और मन्नत की ज़िन्दगी में धमाका
इश्कबाज़ इंडियन टेलीविज़न के सबसे पसंद किये जाने वाले सीरियल में से एक है। इसकी कहानी के साथ साथ इस शो के किरदारों से भी हमें लगाव हो गया है। जहाँ पहले नकुल मेहता , सुरभि चांदना के अपोजिट नज़र आ रहे थे, वहीँ लीप के बाद वह निति टेलर के साथ नज़र आ रहे हैं। हालाँकि उनकी लव स्टोरी अभी अभी ही शुरू हुई है, फिर भी कुछ समय पहले ये खबर आई थी के इश्कबाज़ जल्द ही ऑफ एयर होने वाला है।
लेकिन पिंकविला की रिपोर्ट के अनुसार, ये कन्फर्म हो चुका है के इश्कबाज़ आपकी टीवी स्क्रीन्स से कहीं नहीं जा रहा है। इतना ही नहीं, कुछ ही समय में शिवांश और मन्नात की लव स्टोरी में टकराव लाने के लिए, जल्द ही शो में होने वाली है रिद्धि डोगरा की एंट्री।
जी हाँ, आपने सही पढ़ा! अगर सूत्रों की मानें तो रिद्धि जल्द ही, शिवांश की एक्स गर्लफ्रेंड के किरदार में शो में एंट्री लेंगी, जिसका नाम रेवा होगा। रेवा के आने से शिवांश के दिल में उलझन पैदा हो जाएगी। वह अपने पास्ट और प्रेजेंट के बीच बँट जाएगा, और इसी उलझन में उसका इश्कबाज़ी का सफर शुरू हो जाएगा, एकदम उसी तरह से जैसे उसके मम्मी पापा, शिवाय और अनिका का हुआ था।
आपको याद दिला दूँ के शिवांश और मन्नत की ये नवविवाहित जोड़ी, जैसी तैसे अपनी शादी निभाने की कोशिश कर रहे है।
और अब ये देखना दिलचस्प होगा के रेवा के आने से उनकी इश्कबाज़ी क्या नया मोड़ लेती है।

10 Cool AF Sunglasses You’ll Want To Steal From Ranveer Singh
No matter how you see Ranveer Singh, there’s one thing you’ve got to know about him—he really loves a good pair on sunglasses. While Ranveer’s style is usually very outlandish and eccentric one thing’s for sure, he always has on the best accessories. Whether oversized watches or quirky shoes, our Gully Boy‘s sunnies-game is always on point.
Being an avid sunglass junkie myself (I have approx 38 pairs and counting), I can tell you that a great pair of sunglasses be an instant upgrade to an outfit that’s as simple and basic as jeans and a t-shirt! However, for Ranveer, they’re the complementary addition to his quirky look and vibe. Scroll down to check out all the unique and one-of-a-kind sunglasses you haven’t seen on anyone till date, other than Ranveer Singh of course!
1. Really digging that red and rectangular frames.
2. The darker the mood, the darker the tinted shades—yea?
3. Sunglasses bigger than your face? Hell yes!
4. When your glasses match your tee, you know you’re an “influencer”.
5. Rocking some old school vibes with red-tinted, rectangular sunglasses with a bucket hat.
6. Uff, tiger on the shirt and intensity in the eyes…
7. Yellow tints with some major smize.
8. Jumping on that tiny sunglasses game.
Now you tell me, is Ranveer cool, or is he cool AF?! How bad do you want a pair of quirky sunnies like him?
#MMProTip:
If you’re looking to invest in a pair of sunglasses, here are a couple of things to look out for and consider:
- Don’t go for the basic black coloured frames, consider unique hues like red and yellow that will standout.
- Try different styles—the oval framed sunnies are quite hot right now.
- Like Ranveer, match your sunnies with your outfit’s print.
