Zayn Malik Reveals His Daughter Inspired His Hit Collaboration With BLACKPINK’s Jisoo on Eyes Closed

by jummy84 November 21, 2025
written by jummy84

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo and Zayn Malik’s song Eyes Closed has garnered great appreciation from their fans and music enthusiasts. Fans couldn’t believe that a One Direction singer collaborated with a BLACKPINK singer. As the collaboration happened, they were eager to know about the discussions the two had on the song. Interestingly, the song also landed at no. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Zayn Malik also shared that he decided to collaborate with Jisoo after consulting his 5-year-old daughter Khai. While speaking to BBC Radio 1, he noted that he recorded the song and made sure to rework on his own parts to match the Flower singer’s vibe. Opening up on the collaboration with Jisoo, Malik lauded her solo success and hits with BLACKPINK. He added, “She is obviously killing at the minute. BLACKPINK are all over the place.” Zayn opened up about her global influence and praised BLACKPINK as one of the most sought after groups worldwide.

Talking about his daughter Khai, Zayn also said, “My daughter’s a massive fan. So when she asked to do the feature, I was like, yeah. My daughter’s gonna think I’m cool again. So I’ll definitely do that. I’m not out of the game yet.” Zayn also noted, “To come back to it with people who are basically owning that genre at the minute was an honour.”

Again, Zayn emphasised on Jisoo’s kindness and stated, “If I can say thanks to Jisoo for giving me that opportunity, I would like to say that.”

On the professional front, Zayn hasn’t opened up about any of his upcoming songs yet. As for Jisoo, the singer is currently with the other BLACKPINK members Lisa, Jennie and Rose for their world tour, the DEADLINE tour. The group also released a new song some time back, titled Jump.

Jennifer Lawrence Says 'Miss Piggy' Film Inspired By Cancel Culture

Jennifer Lawrence Says ‘Miss Piggy’ Film Inspired By Cancel Culture

by jummy84 November 7, 2025
written by jummy84

After spilling the beans that she’s producing a Miss Piggy movie in development with pal Emma Stone, Jennifer Lawrence is teasing what might be in store for the beloved swine.

The Oscar winner recently revealed what sparked the idea for her Muppets offshoot about the “feminist icon,” which Tony winner Cole Escola is penning, marking the character’s first solo outing since Jim Henson debuted her on The Muppet Show in 1976.

“So, during lockdown, one of my good friends who is not in the industry—it was also kind of around cancel culture,” she recalled on The Tonight Show. “It was like both things were kind of happening at once. We were all locked up in our rooms, naughty people were being locked up in prison.”

Lawrence explained, “Miss Piggy is a feminist icon, and she said it would be so funny if Miss Piggy got canceled. Now, that is not the plot, necessarily, but it got the wheels turning.”

Noting “there hasn’t actually been” a solo project about Miss Piggy, Lawrence added, “So, I started kind of producing it. But Emma Stone is the Muppet-head. Also, Emma Stone is a shark … I’m, just like, the ideas guy. So, I went to her to be like, ‘What do we do?’ So, now Cole is writing it, and they’re perfect.”

The Die My Love star previously revealed the news on the Las Culturistas podcast, noting she and Stone also hope to appear in the film.

Starting as a chorus pig on The Muppet Show in the mid-1970s, Miss Piggy gradually became a bigger part of the series, before becoming an icon in the late ’70s and early ’80s. Despite Kermit being the star, she’s long hogged the spotlight from her froggy beau.

Recently marking their milestone 70th birthday, The Muppets have had a year of celebrations leading up to the news last month that The Muppet Show is getting a refresh from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg’s Point Grey Pictures. Deadline reported that Disney+ has ordered a TV event featuring special guest star Sabrina Carpenter to premiere in 2026, coinciding with the 50th anniversary of the classic original series.

Emraan Hashmi REVEALS Real-Life Incident Inspired Ba***ds Of Bollywood Kaho Na Kaho Scene With Raghav Juyal

by jummy84 October 29, 2025
written by jummy84

It has been over a month since Aryan Khan’s Netflix series The Ba***ds of Bollywood premiered, and it continues to attract attention. An unexpected highlight has taken the internet by storm: Emraan Hashmi’s cameo with Raghav Juyal singing Kaho Na Kaho. From Instagram reels to tweets and WhatsApp groups, his brief appearance has quickly become a fan favourite.

Emraan Hashmi REVEALS Real-Life Incident Inspired Kaho Na Kaho Scene With Raghav Juyal

The most memorable moment occurs when Raghav Juyal, portraying a devoted Emraan Hashmi fan in the series, is so starstruck upon meeting his idol that he suddenly breaks into the song “Kaho Na Kaho” from Murder. Emraan himself is left speechless, watching him sing with such passion. As the scene trends across social media, Emraan shared with SCREEN how this moment reflects something from his own life, and how Aryan Khan and co-writers Manav Chauhan and Bilal Siddiqi drew inspiration from it.

“The writer is a very good friend of mine, Bilal. And I have a sneaky feeling that he’s actually taken it from one of my birthday celebrations I had with a fan, where he was also there. This was below my building, and you can see it on, it must be on YouTube also. There’s this fan who started off singing and just wouldn’t stop, and there was this embarrassed expression on my face. Bilal was there; I know he’s taken it from there only,” Emraan explained.

He also reflected on the overwhelming fan response to his cameo, especially to the viral line from the series: “Akha Bollywood ek taraf, Emraan Hashmi ek taraf” (All of Bollywood on one side, Emraan Hashmi on the other). “It’s quite amazing how it’s stuck with people, it’s unbelievable. I went to shoot in Bangkok, and over there also, obviously there’s an Indian population, a sizable one, and this is one thing that’s just stuck like a viral thing,” he added.

Currently, Emraan Hashmi is preparing for his next project with Yami Gautam, Haq, which is based on the infamous Shah Bano case.

EXCLUSIVE: Gulshan Devaiah Recalls How Manoj Bajpayee’s Unconventional Roles Inspired Him; Calls Late Irfaan Khan Versatile Actor

by jummy84 October 17, 2025
written by jummy84

Actor Gulshan Devaiah recently shared how he found inspiration in legendary actors like Manoj Bajpayee and Irrfan Khan during his early years. He spoke about how Manoj Bajpayee’s unique film choices stood out, especially during a time when most people were following mainstream cinema.

Gulshan Devaiah On What He Learned From Manoj Bajpayee And Late Irfaan Khan

Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, he said, “When I was at an age where I needed inspiration, Manoj Bajpayee was there. He had an era of his own with films like Satya that left a deep impact on us. While Shah Rukh Khan was also doing something different within commercial films, Manoj ji was taking on realistic and unconventional roles. That really inspired me. At a time when I was feeling low, Manoj sir felt like a shining beacon of hope. His long career and continued passion for acting even today are something I admire a lot.”

Gulshan also praised Irrfan Khan for his unique style and fearless choices. He said, “Irrfan was truly versatile. He brought variety into his roles without changing who he was to please others. He had confidence in his talent and didn’t try to fit in. Sometimes, you can just feel that strong self-belief in people. I also enjoy doing different kinds of roles, and working with different people helps me grow as an actor. You realise that, ‘Oh, I can do this too!’”

Watch the interview here:

Gulshan’s words show how important it is for young artists to have role models who break the mould and inspire others through their honesty and passion for their craft.

Jacob Elordi reveals how his "sensitive" golden retriever dog inspired his Frankenstein performance

Jacob Elordi reveals how his “sensitive” golden retriever dog inspired his Frankenstein performance

by jummy84 October 17, 2025
written by jummy84

When it came to playing Frankenstein’s monster in Guillermo del Toro’s new adaptation of Mary Shelley’s iconic text, Jacob Elordi had no shortage of previous cinematic portrayals to draw on. From Boris Karloff to Christopher Lee to Peter Boyle to Robert de Niro, the creature has been brought to the screen countless times in a variety of iconic ways.

But rather than looking solely at his acting predecessors, the Saltburn star also found inspiration for his role from another, rather more unexpected, source: his golden retriever, Layla.

“I mean, like a child, she doesn’t speak, obviously, so everything that she does physically is to get what she needs or to show how she feels,” he explained in an exclusive interview with RadioTimes.com.

“So she’s very creature-like in the way that she operates in the world. I suppose she’s also incredibly sensitive. So there was a lot of that in her – I see the whole world in my dog’s eyes.”

Of course, Layla wasn’t the only source that came in handy to Elordi while crafting the physicality of his performance, and he admitted that his wade-range of influences stretched as far as… almost every experience he’s ever had.

“I mean, every movie I’ve ever seen, every conversation I’ve ever had, every time I’ve broken a bone, every little breakdown, every moment of ecstatic joy that I couldn’t control, everything,” he said.

“It was very much a big part of myself, I think, in the physicality of the creature. It’s strange because it’s not human, but it almost feels more human than me walking around like a guy!”

Elordi is joined in the cast by Oscar Isaac as the titular scientist, while there are also key roles for the likes of Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz and David Bradley.

The film has received some very positive reviews since premiering at this year’s Venice Film Festival, and in our own five-star write-up we heaped praise on Elordi’s performance – writing that the Australian actor “truly shows his dexterity in a performance of few words but grand and sometimes heartbreaking gestures.”

We also wrote that the film was “the accumulation of three-and-a-half decades of filmmaking knowledge” on the part of Del Toro, and that it all adds up to “a tragic tale told in a captivating manner.”

Frankenstein is now showing in limited cinemas and will arrive on Netflix on 7th November 2025.

Cat Stevens says he inspired Carly Simon’s classic You’re So Vain

by jummy84 October 14, 2025
written by jummy84

14 October 2025

Cat Stevens claims that he was one of the inspirations behind Carly Simon’s song You’re So Vain.

Cat Stevens claims to be the inspiration behind Carly Simon’s song You’re So Vain

The Matthew and Son singer had a passionate affair with the Nobody Does It Better artist during the early 1970s and knew that Carly’s track about a self-absorbed lover – the identity of whom has long been speculated – was about him.

Writing in his new memoir Cat on the Road to Findout, the 77-year-old musician said: “I never understood the endless hide-and-seek of finding out who You’re So Vain was about. Naturally, I knew it was about me!”

Cat added: “The affair enriched both our repertoires.”

Carly, 82, previously confirmed that the second verse of the 1972 song is about the Hollywood actor Warren Beatty but has never revealed the inspiration behind the rest of the song.

She told People magazine in 2015: “I have confirmed the second verse is Warren.

“Warren thinks the whole song was about him!”

The Coming Around Again artist suggested that she was unlikely to reveal the identity of the other men mentioned in the song.

Carly said: “I don’t think so, at least until they know it’s about them.”

The singer admitted that she is astonished that interest in who You’re So Vain is about has persisted for so long.

She said: “Why do they want to know? It’s so crazy!”

Meanwhile, Cat recently described how music was a “calling” for him.

The Wild World artist – who adopted the name Yusuf Islam after converting to Islam in 1977 – told The Sun newspaper: “I felt I had something to offer. I felt that people should get it.

“It wasn’t just a career choice or business decision. It was more than that – it felt like a calling.

“I responded to it and it responded to me. My songs, everything, came so easily. I wrote The First Cut Is The Deepest when I was 17 (in 1965).

“My brother David also had a big hand in it because he was the business head of the family. He was instrumental in getting me contacts.”

6 Fall Outfit Ideas Inspired by Zoë Kravitz

6 Fall Outfit Ideas Inspired by Zoë Kravitz

by jummy84 October 9, 2025
written by jummy84

I’m not sure what it is about fall, but by mid-October, I often find myself in a style rut. It feels like everything I know about dressing well just slips my mind. While I may get a bit self-critical, I never panic because I know there are different ways to find inspiration and create outfits. My favorite method is to look at various celebrity street style outfits, especially those of Zoë Kravitz.

Kravitz hasn’t always been my style muse. It began in 2022 when I started paying attention. Her long black dress at The Batman premiere and her white gown at the Met Gala caught my eye. Off the red carpet, I started admiring her “less is more” approach, focusing on elevated wardrobe essentials rather than chasing every micro-trend. Then in early 2025, when she began working with stylist Danielle Goldberg, she truly became a fashion icon for me.

I appreciate her confidence in her personal style—she knows what she likes and sticks to it, which, in my opinion, embodies true personal style. For example, she favors a satin-trimmed pencil skirt and jeans of all kinds, and when she’s not in flat clogs, she’s likely in pointed-toe pumps or open-toe sandals with sheer tights. While she often wears designers like The Row and Saint Laurent, her looks still feel like I can replicate them using pieces I already own. If you’re looking for style inspiration like I am, keep scrolling to see six of my favorite fall outfits worn by Kravitz along with the pieces needed to re-create them.

Outfit 1

First, here’s an easy-to-re-create denim-and-blazer outfit. What sets this look apart is the blazer’s color. Instead of the traditional black, Kravitz chose a taupe blazer, which feels very fresh. I also love how she mismatched it with black heels instead of matching shoes. And we can’t ignore the light-wash baggy jeans. Some fashion people are gravitating toward dark-rinse denim this fall, but that doesn’t mean you should put away your light-wash jeans. There’s always a time and place for them, even when temperatures drop into the 50s.

Kravitz casually threw on a long car coat, wide-leg trousers, lug-sole boots, and a slouchy shoulder bag and headed out the door. What she doesn’t realize is that she has created a fall outfit formula that is wearable, attainable, and chic. The key to her look was the pairing of navy and chocolate brown—a color combination that might not first come to mind. Now, when you get dressed, it will.

Fashion people in New York City, like Kravitz, understand that an all-black outfit is a fail-safe choice because it always appears sleek and elegant. However, not every black look is the same. Case in point: this slip-skirt outfit. Kravitz could have chosen a classic little black dress, but pairing a satin midi skirt with a long tuxedo-style jacket, a cropped tee, sheer tights, and pumps makes an all-black ensemble feel more 2025.

This fall, if you’re looking to invest in just one piece, let it be a stunning, well-made coat—a wardrobe staple that can become the outfit. Picture a design that layers beautifully over your favorite jeans and flowy dresses or even something you can wrap yourself in when walking your dog in sweatpants. Here, Kravitz has opted for a high-neck black wool coat, a style that is the epitome of versatility and timeless elegance.

Outfit 5

Forget baggy and wide-leg jeans. Slim-fitting denim, especially in a black wash, is having a moment, and Kravitz is aware of this. In NYC, the actress was spotted heading to dinner dressed in black cigarette jeans paired with a mesh top, an oversize blazer, and pointed-toe slingbacks. The secret to modernizing this look and making the jeans feel fresh for 2025 rather than the early 2000s is combining them with an oversize jacket, a contrasting belt, and pointed-toe heels. A The Row bag helps too.

If you can’t tell by now, Kravitz loves a silk pencil skirt in the fall—and for good reason. It’s highly versatile, and it can be styled with a chunky sweater, blazer, or technical jacket, as seen here and on many other insiders this fall. The contrast between the sporty coat and the elegant skirt is unexpected, but that’s what makes it look stylish.

Is ‘Psycho’ Based on Ed Gein? Movies & Shows Inspired by Serial Killer – Hollywood Life

Is ‘Psycho’ Based on Ed Gein? Movies & Shows Inspired by Serial Killer – Hollywood Life

by jummy84 October 6, 2025
written by jummy84

Image Credit: ullstein bild via Getty Images

Few true crime stories have cast as long a shadow over Hollywood as Ed Gein’s. The Wisconsin murderer and grave robber horrified the nation in the 1950s and went on to inspire some of the most iconic horror films ever made. Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho (1960) famously drew from Gein’s twisted crimes, transforming real-life terror into cinematic history. But Psycho was only the beginning.

Over the years, Gein’s disturbing legacy has continued to influence filmmakers, from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre to The Silence of the Lambs and, more recently, Netflix’s Monster: The Ed Gein Story. His name remains synonymous with the blurred line between fact and fiction in horror.

Below, learn how Psycho was inspired by Ed Gein, and see which other movies and TV shows were shaped by his chilling story.

Who Is Ed Gein?

Gein was an American murderer and grave robber from Plainfield, Wisconsin, whose gruesome crimes shocked the world in the 1950s. Born on August 27, 1906, Gein lived an isolated life under the strict control of his religious and abusive mother, Augusta Gein, who instilled in him a fear of women and sin.

After her death, Gein began robbing graves, exhuming bodies, and fashioning household items and clothing out of human remains. His deeply disturbed actions would later make him one of the most infamous figures in American criminal history.

What Happened to Ed Gein?

On November 16, 1957, local hardware store owner Bernice Worden went missing in Plainfield, Wisconsin. Investigators traced her disappearance to Gein. When police searched his farmhouse, they uncovered Worden’s mutilated body, along with furniture, masks, and clothing made from human skin and bones. Gein admitted to killing two women—Worden and Mary Hogan, a tavern owner who vanished in 1954—as well as robbing graves for years.

In 1958, he was declared legally insane and committed to Central State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, later transferred to Mendota Mental Health Institute. He remained institutionalized for the rest of his life and died in 1984 at the age of 77 from respiratory failure due to cancer.

Was Psycho (1960) Inspired by Ed Gein?

Yes. Hitchcock’s Psycho was directly inspired by Gein’s real-life crimes. The film’s protagonist, Norman Bates, mirrors Gein in several unsettling ways: both were isolated men with domineering mothers whose deaths triggered psychological breakdowns.

The novel Psycho, written by Robert Bloch in 1959, was influenced by Gein’s case, as Bloch lived just 35 miles from Plainfield. Hitchcock later adapted Bloch’s story into the iconic 1960 film, making Norman Bates one of cinema’s most enduring horror figures.

Movies & Shows Based on Ed Gein

Over the decades, Gein’s story has continued to influence filmmakers and storytellers across generations. His crimes have inspired numerous films and television projects, including The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974), Deranged: Confessions of a Necrophile (1974), The Silence of the Lambs (1991), Ed Gein (2000), and Ed Gein: The Butcher of Plainfield (2007).

Most recently, Netflix revisited his story in Monster: The Ed Gein Story (2025), starring Charlie Hunnam as Gein and Laurie Metcalf as his mother, Augusta.
