“Believe in a little bit of magic.” HBO has revealed an official trailer for another fascinating new Music Box documentary film titled Happy And You Know It, the latest mesmerizing cinematic creation from the wonderful doc filmmaker Penny Lane. Subverting the notion that making music for children is easy and proving that love, imagination, and emotional truth are the foundations of songs that resonate, Happy And You Know It reminds us of the magical way music connects us across generations and to the child inside us all. The doc dives into the surprisingly powerful world of children’s music, uncovering origin stories of the artists who shaped the genre. It chronicles the unexpected paths musicians take to embrace the creative freedom found in writing music that shapes childhoods. Featuring conversations with talented musicians like Anthony Field of “The Wiggles”, Chris Ballew, Divinity Roxx, Laurie Berkner, Johnny Only, and many others. I’m a big fan of Penny Lane’s other Music Box doc Listening to Kenny G and this one looks just as good. I’m glad Penny tells this story in such a bright, beautiful, uplifting way – it is definitely worth a watch.

Here’s the full official trailer (+ poster) for Penny Lane’s doc Happy And You Know It, from YouTube:

Happy And You Know It Poster

Children’s music is terminally uncool to adults and dismissed by music critics, yet adored by kids. Music Box: Happy And You Know It explores the underestimated & wildly popular genre, delving behind the scenes to tell the origin stories of some of the top names in the field. It also traces the evolution of this prolific business and how advancements in technology and AI are reshaping and turbo-charging this genre. Featuring a colorful and charming cast and their toe-tapping songs, the film reframes children’s music as a misunderstood yet vital cultural artform that influences how kids develop. Happy And You Know It is directed by by acclaimed American doc filmmaker Penny Lane, director of many other doc films including Our Nixon, Nuts!, The Pain of Others, Hail Satan?, Listening to Kenny G, and Confessions of a Good Samaritan previously, plus many other short films. Produced by Gabriel Sedgwick and Julia Lewis. Another installment in the “Music Box” series on HBO created by Bill Simmons. Executive produced by Bill Simmons, Jody Gerson, Marc Cimino. HBO will debut Penny Lane’s Happy And You Know It doc streaming on HBO Max starting on December 25th, 2025 on Christmas Day at the end of this year. Want to watch?

Kris Jenner Shares 70th Party, Wishes Corey Gamble Happy 45th

by jummy84 November 11, 2025

written by jummy84

Kris Jenner was absolutely the star of the show at her 70th birthday party this past weekend. She popped out for a ‘Bond’ themed bash with her wealthy family and friends. It was a lavish night, and Kris Jenner went viral for her fresh, youthful glow in her strapless couture gown. Then, on Monday, she penned a sweet note for her “rock,” Corey Gamble, on his 45th birthday.

Kris Jenner Went Viral For Her Youthful Look

Kris Jenner turned 70 on Wednesday (November 5), but the fete was over the weekend. Several photos she posted on Instagram on Sunday had the internet going! “Magical night celebrating my 70th birthday with beautiful family and friends,” she wrote in the caption. The photos showed her wearing a Givenchy Haute Couture gown by Alexander McQueen from the runway fall/winter 2002

Her snatched face has been sparking conversation since May, when she accompanied Kim Kardashian to court in Paris. However, it’s no secret that Kris Jenner has undergone two facelifts. She said so, to Vogue Arabia.

“I had a facelift about 15 years ago, so it was time for a refresh,” she confides. “I decided to do this facelift because I want to be the best version of myself, and that makes me happy. Just because you get older, it doesn’t mean you should give up on yourself. If you feel comfortable in your skin and you want to age gracefully – meaning you don’t want to do anything – then don’t do anything. But for me, this is ageing gracefully. It’s my version,” she told reporter Manuel Arnaut.

Social media is definitely clapping it up for it up for the reported surgeon Dr. Steven Levine. Jenner told Vogue Arabia previously that she’s open about her surgeries because she believes it can help others.

The Guest List Was Long With Longer Pockets!

Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Mariah Carey, Adele, Jeff Bezos, and even Mark Zuckerberg! That’s just a hint of the guest list at Kris Jenner’s ‘Bond’ birthday party. Y’all get the picture, keep scrolling to see some!

On Monday, she shared additional photos from her celebration of life. She wrote, “I feel so blessed to have my precious family and all my beautiful friends come together for one night to celebrate and make these amazing memories together!”

Kris Isn’t Quitting Work (Or Her Man) Any Time Soon!

Kris Jenner’s guest list is a reflection of the momager’s poppin’ status and the earnings to match. Her net worth is estimated at over $200 million, per Vogue Arabia, and she’s reportedly taking a 10% management cut from several of her children’s businesses from Kourtney’s Poosh to Khloe’s Good American and Kylie’s cosmetic brand. Jenner told the outlet in August that she doesn’t plan to quit anytime soon. She’s aiming to beat her mom’s record of retirement at 82. She joked with the outlet that she’ll probably slow down at 85!

And the 70-year-old is keeping the same energy with her love life. She and Corey Gamble are still going strong after a decade together! He was by her side at her birthday bash, and on Monday she penned a beautiful message about his role in her life. She also shared a ton of photos of them spending time together.

“Happy birthday, babe @coreygamble! Thank you for being my rock, my ride or die, and the most incredible partner. Thank you for all you do every single day, for the love you give, and for always being there for all of us. I’m so blessed to have you by my side. I love you!!! ♥️♥️🎂🎂”

Javed Akhtar says, ‘I’m happy he has opinions’ as he hits back at Lucky Ali for calling him ‘ugly, hardly original’

by jummy84 November 10, 2025

written by jummy84

In October, singer Lucky Ali criticised veteran Bollywood writer and lyricist Javed Akhtar over an old video claiming that the veteran lyricist had made a remark about Hindu–Muslim dynamics. Now, in a conversation with India Today, Akhtar has hit back at the singer’s jibe.

Javed Akhtar says happy to know Lucky Ali has opinions.

Javed Akhtar reacts to Lucky Ali’s remarks against him

Javed Akhtar reacted to Lucky Ali calling him “ugly” and said, “Now, I must take Lucky Ali’s opinion with a pinch of salt. I should accept it. Although I don’t agree with it. But anyway, I’m happy to know that he has opinions. That’s wonderful.”

After making the remark, the singer also issued a sarcastic apology, mentioning that “monsters have feelings too”. Commenting on this, the lyricist said, “Let him decide what he meant and what he wants. If you are tolerant, it’s good. If you are intolerant in certain matters, particularly those which are sensitive, like religious matters, then it’s not good. You have to be a tolerant person. You should… I mean, if you want to have one opinion, and you want your opinion to be heard, then you should be able to take other people’s opinions you may not agree with.”

What Lucky Ali had said

Lucky Ali noticed a tweet which read, “Javed Akhtar tells Hindus, ‘Don’t become like Muslims. Make them like you. Don’t become like Muslims. It’s a tragedy. West Bengal Urdu Academy was right in withdrawing its invitation to this shameless bigot masquerading as a wise man.’”

Reacting to this, the singer tweeted, “Don’t become like Javed Akhtar, never original and ugly as f**k.” He later issued a clarification and wrote, “What I meant was that arrogance is ugly… it was a mistaken communiqué on my part… monsters may have feelings too and I apologise if I hurt anyone’s monstrosity.”

Javed Akhtar’s recent and upcoming work

The lyricist recently penned the lyrics for the songs in the 2024 film Yudhra. The tracks Hatt Jaa Baju and Saathiya became instant hits. He has also written the lyrics for the songs in Sunny Deol’s Lahore 1947. The film, which also stars Shabana Azmi, Preity Zinta and Ali Fazal in lead roles, is scheduled for a theatrical release next year.

Pluribus review: Vince Gilligan’s sci-fi takes you to happy place

by jummy84 November 7, 2025

written by jummy84

TV titan Vince Gilligan is known for writing bad guys. Think Walter White in Breaking Bad or Saul Goodman in Better Call Saul. But for his highly anticipated follow-up, Gilligan dares to imagine a world where there are no bad guys, where evil has been eradicated in its entirety. And therein lies a very different kind of horror.

Pluribus begins with a scientific discovery gone awry, as is often the case with post-apocalyptic stories of this nature. One simple mistake breaks the world as we know it, unleashing a virus that melds the globe into one collective group mind. The horrific imagery that follows evokes everything from the devastating stillness of 28 Days Later to the chilling paranoia embedded throughout Invasion of the Body Snatchers (in all its incarnations).

So why was Pluribus surrounded by so much secrecy prior to its release? We’ve seen this all before, right? Well no, it turns out that Gilligan’s twist on the genre quickly takes these familiar tropes in wildly unexpected directions that intrigue, unsettle, and might occasionally test your patience at points.

Without spoiling too much, this global shift in thinking isn’t hellbent on domination. The virus has essentially won already, yet that was never its goal. Melding the world’s population into one singular mind was just necessary, a biological imperative akin to breathing. The result is a happy one, creating a utopia on earth where there is no more crime. Discrimination is a thing of the past and every caged animal has been set free.

At its core, this apocalypse brings peace and happiness to everyone on earth except the one woman who can’t stand it.

Rhea Seehorn and Karolina Wydra star in Pluribus Apple TV

Carol Sturka, an unhappy romance novelist who peddles “mindless crap” numbers among the very few people on earth who have retained their minds still, somehow immune to the virus. As such, the collective is keen to draw Carol into their embrace, quite happily informing her that they’re working on ways to push through and infect her somehow.

It’s in this tension that the show’s defiance of straightforward tone and genre is most evident. Much like Carol herself, Pluribus pushes back against notions of good and evil, what’s right and wrong, in a funhouse mirror version of the grey areas Gilligan played with so adeptly in his previous works.

With a placid smile (smiles?) and kind reassurances, the virus wishes to erase Carol’s individuality and assimilate her completely. But would that be so bad? Other survivors reject Carol’s idea of “saving humanity”, believing themselves to be saved already in what could be considered a new utopia on earth.

It would be easy to read this as a push back against group think or conformity, but Pluribus doesn’t offer easy answers. Instead, the writing opens itself up to interpretation on multiple levels (unlike Carol’s own tawdry fantasy series). This idea that the ones who wish you harm will smile at you as they do so also speaks to religious extremism, gay conversion therapy, and even our political reality, while assumptions that the virus is bad also touch on the differences between individualist and collectivist societies.

Rhea Seehorn stars in Pluribus; in this scene, her character is panicked and holding on to a medical worker by his shoulders — Rhea Seehorn stars in Pluribus Apple TV

Pluribus does offer easy answers in another sense, however, as the virus readily gives up information Carol seeks in her attempts to uncover what’s really happening. These tranquil admissions might lack the tension that a puzzlebox mystery show usually provides — with one even going so far as to undercut its own horror almost immediately — but this in itself sets Pluribus further apart as an entirely unique viewing experience.

That’s also true of its scale. Gilligan’s return to TV makes full use of that Apple TV budget with vast settings that ram home the global impact of what’s happened. Jumps back and forth in time expand this even further again, plus international locales beyond Albuquerque, New Mexico (also the setting of both Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul) are just a plane ride away, easily accessible thanks to “The Afflicted” and their endless altruism.

While you’re sometimes left wondering at the implications of this global shift beyond Carol’s perspective, Pluribus constantly finds ingenious new ways to touch on that through dialogue or outlandish scenarios that could only come from a premise this strange. Hearing a child draw on the group mind to discuss the ins and outs of gynaecology is as disconcerting as it sounds, for example, while a politician talking to Carol through her TV delivers one of the premiere’s most shocking moments through what’s essentially exposition.

Pluribus is alien in more ways than one, so it was smart to ground this story through a protagonist like Carol, a cynical grump whose anger is as useful as it can be destructive. Her outrage at what’s become of humanity spikes against the happiness of the collective, creating a push and pull dynamic that grows central to what Pluribus has to say.

Gilligan wrote this story specifically for Rhea Seehorn following their work together on Better Call Saul, and it’s the exact kind of calling card that could nab her an Emmy at last following three previous nominations. Whether she’s seething or yearning, raging or grieving, Seehorn is magnificent, adding dimension upon dimension to Carol against the smoothed-out flatness on the faces of everyone who surrounds her.

Pluribus is essentially a one-woman show in that respect, yet Karolina Wydra also does phenomenal work as Zosia, an avatar for the collective who Carol comes to rely on. Her prominence deliberately complicates our perception of what’s happening while also giving us a face to connect with in this multitude of billions.

Pluribus works as an inverted version of Sense8 in some ways, another marvellously inventive spin on what’s possible within sci-fi. Elements of Lost’s puzzle box enigma, the existentialism of The Leftovers and even the quirkiness of The X-Files — a show Gilligan worked on extensively before Breaking Bad — are also apparent in the DNA of Pluribus (not to mention the influence of seminal sci-fi authors such as John Wyndham or Kurt Vonnegut).

Much like the virus does to everyone except Carol, Pluribus twists familiar storytelling beats into something new and otherworldly. The result is one of this year’s most inventive stories across any medium, making Gilligan’s return to TV a bonafide rarity in a sea of recycled ideas we’ve seen countless times before.

Beyond the premiere — a truly perfect hour of television — you’ll need to be open to seeing the bigger picture at points, and patience is vital if you’re to go along with some of the wilder swings this show takes. But if you’re up for it, prepare yourself for what could eventually turn out to be a genuine masterpiece on the same level as Breaking Bad or Better Call Saul.

All it took was for Gilligan to make everyone and no-one the bad guy all at once.

Pluribus is now available on Apple TV.

Happy Halloween – here’s Lankum’s haunting cover of The Specials’ ‘Ghost Town’

by jummy84 November 1, 2025

written by jummy84

Lankum have shared a haunting, creepy cover of The Specials’ 1981 classic ‘Ghost Town’ – check it out below.

The track will be released as a standalone 12” single via Rough Trade Records on January 30, with an elaborate etching on the B-side. You can pre-order your single here.

The Dublin experimental folk band originally covered the song as a contribution to Oona Doherty’s dance show ‘Specky Clark’ at London’s Sadler’s Wells Theatre earlier this year, and they have now unveiled a video for the eight-minute track, shot in County Wicklow and directed by Leonn Ward.

The single stays true to Lankum’s signature ‘folk drone’ style initially, with a crawling, insidious pace and discordant strings lending extra menace to the song’s legendary anti-Thatcherite lyrics, before it erupts into a cacophonous, electronic climax. Watch the video here:

Lankum have said: “’Ghost Town’ came to us through some curious circumstances. Oona Doherty, who we were familiar with through her phenomenal dance work on the video for Gilla Band’s ‘Shoulderblades’, contacted us and told us about a new show she was putting together. It was about her great-great-grandfather being sent to Belfast as a child to live with his aunts and work in an abattoir. She wanted a new piece of music for the show, for a party scene set on Halloween night, and told us she wanted it to start out indistinguishable and woozy, before developing into the very recognisable track by The Specials.”

“At first we were slightly reticent, since a cover of a ska tune wasn’t something we’d usually ever consider, but after a bit of deliberation we decided we’d give it a shot, and the result took us on an incredibly enjoyable journey that had us gleefully playing with synthesisers and drum machines in Hellfire Studios, trying to come up with the scaldiest 90s sounding techno for the outro section of the track.”

“We’re very excited with the end product and delighted that Oona approached us and challenged us to step out of our comfort zone. It’s an honour to be releasing a version of this iconic tune, and it feels eerily relevant to be referencing yet again themes of urban decay, economic hardship and working class frustration. Enjoy responsibly.”

Doherty added: “I was listening to Lankum and it inspired me to write this dance theatre play called ‘Specky Clark’ using a lot of their music. But for one scene which happens on Halloween night Samhain, I asked the band could they make me a cover of ‘Ghost Town’ by The Specials. And they bloody did. ‘All the clubs have been closed down’. I think this line still hits hard all these years later and in a dub accent speaks to housing crises, the poverty, the privatization of Ireland. They also managed to make the track rip through this physical plane of existence and dance in the other world…. only Lankum can do that.”

Lankum released their fourth studio album ‘False Lankum’ in 2023, picking up Mercury Prize and Ivor Novello nominations. Guitarist Daragh Lynch told NME last year that the album’s success had been “very unexpected”, adding: “We spent the last four albums just really dedicating ourselves to what we want to do. We thought the last album was one of the weirdest and most inaccessible that we’ve done so far, but for some reason it’s the one that everyone picked up on. Maybe we just need to get weirder and weirder!”

The queen of maximalism

For her wedding reception, the it-girl of Mumbai’s elite opted for a piece from Dolce & Gabbana’s Alta Moda Sardegna 2024 collection, effortlessly paired with a custom Anamika Khanna saree. The dreamy fusion of Italian and intricate Indian design exudes modern royalty and glamour, featuring a corset-style metallic bodice, adorned with sequins and beadwork, while the sheer saree adds texture and movement. The outfit was accessorised with an intricate gold-and-diamond necklace and matching earring and bangles.

The opulant apsara

This glamorously extravagant mint green and gold lehenga designed by Anamika Khanna saw Radhika shine like modern-day royalty, exuding sophistication and grandeur. However, the star of the show was not the lehenga, but her gorgeous five layered diamond Raani Haar which she wore on her wedding in 2024. Designed by Mumbai-based jeweller Nisha Mehta, boasts a gigantic emerald at the centre. Her look was paired with a pair of heavy diamond jhumkas, and a stack of bangles. Talk about being extra huh?

An archival nymph

This stunning fusion look features Radhika in an archival Vivienne Westwood corset and scarf from the designer’s iconic 1990 A/W Portrait Collection, paired with custom Chanderi saree. The collection draws direct inspiration from eighteenth century oil painting, featuring François Boucher’s 1743 painting ‘Daphnis and Chloe’ on the corset. Rhea Kapoor’s innovative styling adds a traditional touch with a matching prints of the artwork in the Chanderi fabric, accesorised with ivory and gold jewels by Shachee Fine Jewellery.

Gilded in liquid gold

The heiress of the Ambani fortune dazzled like liquid gold, enveloped in the sculpted silhoutte of this gold-and-ivory structured gown from Grace Ling. Styled by Rhea Kapoor’s team, each piece of the ensemble was painstakingly created to hug her every curve, and features a metallic gold crop top connected with a matching piece around her waist, that flows effortlessly into the cascading ivory skirt. The look was accessorised with minimal gold earrings, warm dewy makeup, and her signature soft wavy locks.

The ethereal glam

Radhika looked like an ethereal, otherworldly angel in this translucent structured gown from Lever Couture. The fabric evokes the mesmerizing flow of cascading waterfalls or the swirling mystery of intergalactic nebulae – whichever vision you let it conjure. The look, styled by Rhea Kapoor, features an iridescent plush boa, paired with matching icy heels from Jimmy Choo and futuristic diamond ear cuffs from Varuna Jani.
