Watch Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter Join Fred Again.. for First DJ Set in 16 Years

Daft Punk’s Thomas Bangalter joined Fred Again.., Phantasy Sound label head Erol Alkan, and Ed Banger Records founder Pedro Winter for a surprise B2B DJ set at Paris’ Centre Pompidou late last night (Saturday, October 25). The occasion was a 20th anniversary celebration for the French record label Because Music. For his first DJ set in 16 years, Bangalter dropped Daft Punk tracks including “Rollin’ & Scratchin’,” “Digital Love,” and “Contact,” plus “Galvanise” by the Chemical Brothers and part of Jonny Greenwood’s One Battle After Another score. Check out footage and photos of the event below.

“Thomas told me in this lift on the way down to the show that the first time he fell in love with electronic music was in this building in 1992,” Fred Again.. wrote on Instagram this morning. “He also told me hasn’t played a proper set without the mask on for 24 years. I didn’t know what to say to either of those things and I still don’t. All I said to him at the end is that I hope it isn’t 24 years til the next.”

Bangalter made his last live appearance—along with his Daft Punk counterpart Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo—during the Weeknd’s performance at the 2017 Grammy Awards. He shared the solo album Mythologies in 2023. Daft Punk joined Fortnite earlier this year, adding songs from their catalog and their iconic TB3 and GM08 helmets to the video game.

EXCLUSIVE: Anuj Saxena REACTS To Possibility Of Kkusum Comeback With Ekta Kapoor; Says, “Haven’t Met Her For Years”

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Television actor Anuj Saxena recently opened up about the possibility of returning to his hit TV show Kkusum, which was one of the most popular dramas of the early 2000s. He also mentioned that he hasn’t met Ekta Kapoor in years but remains open to collaborating again if the opportunity feels right. His comments have sparked excitement among fans hoping for a revival of the early 2000s television classic.

Anuj Saxena REACTS To Kkusum Comeback

Anuj was asked what his response would be if producer Ekta Kapoor called him to bring back the show. Speaking to Bollywood Bubble, Anuj said, “It’s difficult to say right now, it depends on the circumstances. I would say, yes, it’s an exciting thought for now.” His answer has left fans hopeful about a potential reunion or reboot of the much-loved serial.

When asked if he had met Ekta Kapoor recently, the actor revealed that it had been quite a long time since their last meeting. He shared, “I haven’t met Ekta for years. She has been busy in her own world. Agar kal kahi mulakat hoti hai, kuch hota hai toh, and if it’s interesting and I’ll be able to give my time and energy, I will change.” His words suggest that while he hasn’t ruled out the possibility, any comeback would depend on the right timing and opportunity.

About Kkusum

Kkusum was one of the most successful shows produced by Balaji Telefilms, running from 2001 to 2005. The series starred Nausheen Ali Sardar as Kkusum and Anuj Saxena as Abhay, capturing audiences with its emotional storylines and family drama. The show explored the ups and downs in Kkusum’s life, her struggles, and her relationships, making it a household favourite during its run.

Fans continue to remember Kkusum fondly, and the idea of its revival has sparked excitement. Whether or not Anuj Saxena returns to the small screen as Abhay remains to be seen, but his openness to the idea has certainly delighted longtime viewers.

Neurosurgeon with 33 years of experience explains why you can’t sleep even when tired, shares 4 tips to rest better

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Are you counting sheep as you lie in bed, super exhausted, yawning, but for some reason, sleep continues to evade you? You toss and turn, checking how much time you have left before the morning alarm rings. It may feel ironic that despite being worn out, your mind is anything but that, buzzing and rather frustrated with the inability to sleep on time. This association that exhaustion automatically means quicker sleep may not always work. If exhausting yourself to sleep was your tactic, maybe, from the mental fatigue of reading a boring academic book, you need a more well-rounded strategy to fix this issue.

If you are unable to sleep despite being exhausted, your daytime habits are to blame. (Picture credit: Shutterstock)

Dr Prashant Katakol, a neurosurgeon with over 33 years of experience, shared in an Instagram video, posted on October 22, addressing this common challenge of sleep. He shed light on an interesting root cause. “Why do you find it difficult to fall asleep even when you are exhausted? As a neurosurgeon, I will tell you how your daytime habits are ruining your nights,” he said. This means your choices during the day determine how well you sleep at night. The neurosurgeon suggested 4 tips for modifying daily activities which make you sleepy at night.

1. Walk more

One of the culprits is prolonged inactivity. Many people sit for long hours during the day, whether at the office on weekdays or lounging on the couch bingewatching over the weekends. Dr Katakol shed light on this aspect, saying, “Walk more than you sit during the day.”

2. Dim the lights

“Once the sun sets, lower the lights around,” the neurosurgeon advised. It’s important to dim the light before bedtime. This involves switching from bright overhead lights to warm bedside lamps.

3. No screens before bedtime

Life is hectic, rushing in the morning, grabbing anything within reach for breakfast, grinding it out at the office, pushing for deadlines and attending meeting after meeting. The chase is simply relentless. So often, people consider evening as their downtime, catching up on TV shows or vapid doomscrolling. But this stretches all the way up to bedtime or even beyond.

The neurosurgeon flagged this habit and emphasised, “Put your screens away 3 hours before your bedtime.”

4. Early dinner

The last fix Dr Katakol recommended was having an early breakfast.“Finish your dinner early, ideally before sunset and take a 20-minute walk subsequently,” he advised. This habit lowers digestive discomfort. What happens is that when one eats dinner too close to bedtime, the digestive process is disturbed. To improve digestion, as the neurosurgeon shared, it’s vital to go for brief walks so that the stomach doesn’t feel bloated in bed. And when your stomach is heavy, you are likely to toss and turn more.

Neurosurgeon Dr Katakol’s advice is to continue these habits ‘sincerely’ to see the results. In others, you will have to be consistent with these healthy changes to sleep better.

Reba McEntire Teases Retirement ‘Could be in 20 Years’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

“I think I’ll know when it’s time,” the tireless country legend said in a new interview

Reba McEntire celebrated her 70th birthday back in March, an age when many people may be thinking about retiring, but the country music and TV great still thinks she’s got another couple of decades left before retirement. 

When asked when she might retire in a new interview with People, McEntire replied frankly, “I don’t know when. It could be in 20 years.” (That would put McEntire at the ripe age of 90.) She added: “I think I’ll know when it’s time.”

McEntire went on to recall how she and Dolly Parton talked “an awful lot” about retirement way back in the early 2000s, when Parton was a guest star on McEntire’s hit sitcom, Reba. “I said, ‘Are you going to retire?,’” McEntire remembered. “[Parton] said, ‘Why would I? What in the world could I do and have as much fun as what I’m doing in this job right now?’ I agree with her a hundred percent. Slow down, maybe, but no plans of retiring.”

McEntire is, of course, as busy as ever. She’s currently doing her fourth stint as a coach on The Voice, which is in the middle of its 28th season. And the second season of her new sitcom, Happy’s Place, is about to launch its second season Nov. 7 on NBC. 

Trending Stories

“I love this chapter in my life. I’m very grateful,” McEntire told People.

Back in May, McEntire was also enlisted to host the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards, marking her 18th time at the helm of the awards show institution. To open the big anniversary show, McEntire performed a decade-spanning medley, saluting one Song of the Year winner from each of the last six decades.

DDLJ turns 30 years
Bollywood

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge Completes 30 Years! ‘Raj’ Shah Rukh Khan, ‘Simran’ Kajol Open Up On The Film’s Historic Impact On Anniversary

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Aditya Chopra’s Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge starring Shah Rukh Khan & Kajol is unanimously hailed as India’s most loved romantic film ever! The historic blockbuster has etched its rightful place as the film with the biggest pop culture impact for India, Indians and South Asians across the world. For 30 years, DDLJ’s iconic on-screen pair Raj and Simran has been synonymous with love in the country! SRK & Kajol celebrate the release anniversary, saying they can never forget how people fell in love after watching DDLJ!

Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge Turns 30

Shah Rukh Khan On Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’s 30th Anniversary

Shah Rukh Khan says, “It doesn’t feel like it’s been 30 years since Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge released. It feels like it happened yesterday because ‘bade bade deshon mein aisi choti choti baatein hoti rehti hain….’ but it still feels unbelievable. I’m truly grateful for all the love that I have received from people from across the world for playing Raj – nobody could have foreseen the kind of place the film made in the hearts of people around the world, and I will never forget the moment when everyone started to come…see the film and fall in love.”

He adds, “The impact this film has had on the hearts of people worldwide is unprecedented and so many couples meet me and say we got married or fell in love…after watching this film. I also feel that it has had such a happy effect on the pop culture of India and South Asians.”

SRK further says, “I think all the success is to be credited to the pure heart with which the film was made by us all, the clarity that Adi had about DDLJ and especially because of the blessings of Yash ji! Here’s to the many years of falling in love…..”

Kajol On Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’s 30th Anniversary

Kajol aka Simran says, “Thirty years of DDLJ sounds surreal! The film has aged into a legacy and a nostalgic experience for a generation. That classic was made with the recklessness of youth and the honesty of first love, never imagining that Raj and Simran would make the entire nation hold its breath at a train station. The songs, the dialogues, the mustard fields – everything from that world seeped into pop culture and stayed there.”

She adds, “There’s a piece of DDLJ in almost every romantic film that came after it, because somewhere, history was made and it never quite left us. For me, Simran is a chapter that refuses to end. She represents millions of girls across this country – girls who want to do what their parents say, who carry tradition in one hand but still reach out for freedom with the other. That’s why she still resonates. Every time someone says, ‘Ja Simran, ja’, it signifies the belief that courage and love can coexist.”

Kajol On DDLJ’s Impact

About DDLJ’s timeless impact, Kajol says, “The viewers who adored this film at sixteen are now watching it with their children, owning it more fiercely with every passing year. Maybe that’s what turning thirty does to a person — you begin to know yourself better. But when a film reigns for thirty years, it defines a generation’s idea of who they are and what love means to them. It’s become the template of how Indian cinema dreams of love. So grateful to the viewers who still see me as that girl in the white suit, running toward someone she loves… just with more sass.”

About how DDLJ made SRK & Kajol the most iconic on-screen pair and ruled over people’s hearts for 30 years, Kajol says, “I’ll always be grateful for the love that DDLJ received. Over the years, it became a cultural landmark that made audiences believe in love even when life tested them. When a film becomes a phenomenon, it does so for countless reasons — a combination of script, performances, music, emotion and timing, but mostly because it taps into something universal.”

She adds, “For me, the brilliance lies in Adi’s vision to make this idea of romance the nation’s biggest obsession. Navigating the expectations of family, balancing tradition and modernity, and learning the courage to follow your heart are themes that don’t age. They resonate with every generation, whether you’re experiencing first love or looking back at it with nostalgia.”

SRK-Kajol’s Chemistry

DDLJ also showed SRK & Kajol’s effortless chemistry that moved people on an emotional level like never before. Kajol reveals, “I’ve never been one to tiptoe around the truth, and Shah Rukh is no different. With him, it was effortless from the first take. There’s a kind of understanding, a rhythm, and a trust that just clicks. You know exactly how the other person thinks, how they’ll react, how a look, a pause, or even silence will land. That’s why the magic feels so natural on screen; it’s not acting in the traditional sense, it’s responding, playing, and bouncing off each other in a way that feels real.”

She adds, “There is a lot of mutual respect and comfort in our equation. We never had to overthink, over-plan, or try too hard. Even in the most emotional or intense scenes, there’s this unspoken confidence that the other person will meet you halfway. And I think audiences feel that; they sense authenticity, even if they don’t know the work behind it.”

Thirty years later, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge remains a cherished classic. Shah Rukh Khan is grateful for the worldwide love for Raj, recognising its cultural significance. Kajol praised DDLJ’s timeless magic, calling it a national treasure that continues to connect with audiences across generations.

Anupam Kher on 30 years of DDLJ: The film gave the world the coolest father during 90s

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Three decades since Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge first lit up the screens, yet the love for the film continues to grow with every generation. Looking back at the phenomenon, actor Anupam Kher, who played the warm and witty father to Shah Rukh Khan’s Raj, says he always knew the film was going to be extraordinary. “Yes, I knew from the beginning that DDLJ was a very special film,” he recalls. “It’s not about how many years it ran, but the fact that it changed the grammar and rhythm of Indian cinema. That’s what makes it a cult film.”

SRK and Anupam Kher

Reminiscing about the film’s premiere, Kher shares an unforgettable moment. “When the screening ended, there was complete silence for almost a minute, it felt like six hours. Everyone was just absorbing what they had witnessed. And then, the whole theatre erupted in applause. It was a standing ovation that just didn’t end. That’s when we knew this film had touched something deeper.”

The film, directed by Aditya Chopra, broke several cinematic conventions especially the idea of a rebellious hero defying parents. “It broke the myth,” says Kher. “Raj waits for the girl’s father’s permission instead of eloping with her. That was revolutionary for its time.”

Among the many memories from the film, one stands out for Anupam Kher, the iconic “Hum toh hindustan mein fail hue the… tune toh London mein fail hoke dikha diya!” scene between him and Shah Rukh Khan. “That scene was special. Shah Rukh is very good with improvisation, and we had a lot of fun experimenting. The entire shoot was full of warmth and camaraderie,” he says.

Anupam’s portrayal of a cool, supportive father became an instant favourite. “People still tell me, ‘I wish my father was like you in DDLJ,’” he laughs. “Before that, audiences had never seen such a father on screen; someone who was a friend, a motivator, and not just an authority figure. DDLJ gave 90s its coolest father figure.”

He further adds, how his bond with Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol, has not really changed over the years. “Our bond remains the same. Back then, there were no vanity vans, no mobile phones, no managers or security guards. We built relationships with our hearts, not our schedules. We knew each other’s strengths, weaknesses, and emotions. Those connections were real,” says Anupam Kher, adding: “I always say some relationships are like a pause button, you just press play and continue from where you left off.”

Despite having started with an iconic role in Saaransh at the age of 28, Kher feels his best work has come in recent years. “I’m doing some of my finest work now. Whether it’s smaller films or bigger ones, I’m enjoying every moment of it.”

Reflecting on how the industry has evolved, Kher notes, “Every era has its beauty. In those days, we had time to build personal relationships because there were no distractions. Today’s generation has other advantages — information, access, technology. We didn’t have Google or ChatGPT,” he laughs. “I’ve learned more from technology now than I ever did before.”

bitchy | Emails show Jeffrey Epstein ‘secretly bankrolled’ Sarah Ferguson for 15 years

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Over the summer, when royal biographer Andrew Lownie was promoting his book, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, he made some interesting claims specifically about Sarah Ferguson and Jeffrey Epstein. According to Lownie’s research and sources, Epstein had given Fergie close to $2 million all told, across many years. When Fergie publicly apologized in 2011 for “borrowing $15K” from Epstein, many felt it was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to how much money she actually conned out of Epstein. Well, now that more of the Epstein files/emails are coming out, it looks like Lownie had it right. And it was probably much, much worse than Lownie knew. According to this Daily Mail exclusive, Epstein “secretly bankrolled” Fergie for 15 years. Some highlights from the Mail:

Jeffrey Epstein secretly bankrolled Sarah Ferguson for 15 years, astonishing new emails claim. The convicted paedophile complained to friends about the disgraced duchess’s scrounging ways in messages that suggest his financial support went far beyond the £15,000 she admitted taking from him.

In the previously unseen emails, Epstein reveals Fergie was so desperate to cosy up to him that ‘she was the first to celebrate’ his release from jail ‘with her two daughters in tow’. Princess Beatrice would have been 20 at the time and Eugenie 19, the same age as many of his victims.

The shocking claims are contained in a huge tranche of documents under review by the US Congress. They are set to be released once they have been redacted to protect the identity of hundreds of young girls Epstein raped and sexually abused. The sordid nature of Fergie’s relationship with the paedophile and the chummy tone of their correspondence makes sickening reading that will repulse the sex offender’s many victims.

Emails seen by The Mail on Sunday show: Fergie begged to borrow $50,000 to $100,000 to help with ‘small bills’; She asked to visit Epstein’s private island, joking whether her financial woes made it ‘unavailable to bankrupts?’; Epstein paid off debts the duchess owed a former employee but became angry when she failed to pay him back as promised; While disavowing Epstein in public, Fergie kept up contact and let him help set up a charity for her; Epstein brazenly gave Fergie ‘talking points’ before she was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey.

Tonight a well-placed source said: ‘Sarah and Prince Andrew have always maintained they distanced themselves from Epstein after his conviction for child prostitution. In fact, it was Epstein who ended up dumping them. He got sick and tired of Sarah constantly asking him for money. She borrowed far more money off him than has ever come out. In public she said one thing but in private she was always holding out the begging bowl.’

Earlier emails show how close the pair were, despite Epstein having admitted to soliciting a minor for prostitution in a ‘sweetheart deal’ that led to 13 months in a low-security jail with day release. He was let out in July 2009 and remained under house arrest until July 21, 2010. He exchanged a number of emails with Fergie in that time. In June 2010, Sarah told Epstein: ‘I will never forget your kindness and friendship at this time’ to which he replied: ‘A-team or no team. It’s your line.’

On January 16, 2010, Sarah wrote: ‘Is there any chance I could borrow 50 or 100,000 US dollars to help get through the small bills that are pushing me over? Had to ask.’ Epstein was having his bank accounts monitored at the time and said he couldn’t help. Undeterred, Sarah told him to ‘ask Giuseppe… I would be so grateful.’ Epstein replied: ‘I could but it would be impolite. You need to address these issues. You are great.’ It is thought this is a reference to New York restaurant owner Giuseppe Cipriani, an old friend of the duchess. Tonight his representative declined to say whether Mr Cipriani gave Fergie money.

A source said tonight: ‘Andrew and Sarah were in it up to their necks with Epstein. It was always about the money. This was always going to be their downfall.’

[From The Daily Mail]

Re: Fergie borrowing/taking all of that money, I’ll admit to finding it morbidly and horrifically funny in a way. Fergie was and is such an unrepentant grifter that she was conning a convicted sex trafficker out of millions, millions he “earned” through blackmailing public figures with what he knew of their criminal predilections. Fergie didn’t care about any of that – she thought she had found the golden goose, the mark of her dreams. As for connecting Beatrice and Eugenie to this, and Fergie taking her daughters to see Epstein after he got out of prison… YIKES. Holy sh-t. Whatever deal struck by Prince Andrew and King Charles, it included a hands-off approach to Bea and Eugenie – as in, Charles wouldn’t touch their titles. I wonder if we’re going to find the princesses’ names in more emails. What a mess.

Boris’ ‘Pink’ Still Simmers and Boils 20 Years Later

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Though Boris has been steadily releasing albums since 1996, there will always be a before and after Pink for the band. Formed in Tokyo in 1992, Boris has released 29 studio albums, 14 EPs, and seven live albums since its inception. However, Pink remains their zenith, a sprawling 47-minute masterwork that marries sludge metal with aspects of both shoegaze and ambient. 

Released by Relapse Records on October 17 for its 20th anniversary, along with a deluxe edition of 1995 record dronevil, this reissue of Pink not only allows fans to procure a vinyl copy at an affordable price, but also presents the original CD track order for the first time on LP. 

Like contemporaries such as Sleep and Baroness, Boris expanded what could be included in a heavy metal template, allowing for crossover success. Pitchfork awarded the record “Best New Music” upon its release and ranked Pink its ninth best album of 2006. Meanwhile, this very publication called it “crazy [and] gorgeous.” 

Two decades later, those two words are an apt description for a record that defies definitions. By turns both hypnotically atmospheric and face-shreddingly aggressive, Pink succeeds in that it can appeal to fans of multiple genres. For those who love My Bloody Valentine, the album is fuzzy and pensive with its vocals floating just beneath a layer of gauzy feedback. But for those who love psychedelic freakouts a la Acid Mothers Temple, there are moments where Boris tears away the veil and lets things rip.

Even after 20 years of listening, Pink remains dizzying and elusive. As the tracks weave from knee-deep sludge (“Blackout”) to rip-snorting to psychedelia (“Electric”) to gentle ambient (“My Machine”), they still feel of a piece, which is nothing short of an alchemic miracle. Somehow the trio of Wata, Takeshi, and Atsuo found a way to make it all work. They also save the best for last. Final track, “Just Abandoned Myself” is a 10-minute culmination of everything to come before it. This absolute face-punch features fiery guitars exploding with chunky riffs and anthemic vocals that could be at home on a Wipers record. It’s one of the many spots on the record that perfectly fuses the power of metal with the avant sensibilities that push Pink beyond being a sludge album. Take a listen. Twenty years have done nothing to reduce the record’s ferocious impact.

Lily Allen Releasing First New Album in 7 Years, West End Girl, This Week

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Lily Allen has announced her first album in seven years: West End Girl is out this Friday, October 24, via BMG. Its 14 songs were mostly written by Allen and her musical director, Blue May, and the pair executive-produced the LP alongside Seb Chew and Kito. Below, check out Spanish artist Nieves González’s cover art.

In a press release, Allen said, “I’m nervous. The record is vulnerable in a way that my music perhaps hasn’t been before—certainly not over the course of a whole album. I’ve tried to document my life in a new city and the events that led me to where I am in my life now. At the same time, I’ve used shared experiences as the basis for songs which try to delve into why we humans behave as we do, so the record is a mixture of fact and fiction which I hope serves as a reminder of how stoic yet also how frail we humans can be. In that respect I think it’s very much an album about the complexities of relationships and how we all navigate them. It’s a story…”

Since her last album, 2018’s No Shame, Allen has appeared in various West End London theater productions and co-founded the podcast Miss Me.
