From LEGO Ideas To Actual Product: LEGO Reviews Fanmade Daft Punk Stage Build For Production
Buying a LEGO set that comes with over 2000 brick pieces needs to come with a manual. Unless you're one of those Master Builders who create their own from scratch from the tons of LEGO blocks at their disposal.
What started out as an idea born from the boredom of the Covid-19 lockdown might just come to life. Daft Punk fans may soon have an official LEGO Set as tribute to one of the DJ duo's most iconic stages. The 'Daft Punk Concert' LEGO Ideas build is the work of Patrick Harboun, an engineer, designer and devout dad, who decided to replicate the electronic music duo's 2007 Alive Pyramid Stage with his 8-year-old.
Made with 2000+ pieces with over 10,000 supporters on the official LEGO Ideas site, this iconic LEGO set has progressed to the review stage for production consideration. Looking at the impressive build elements, the set consists of flashing lights, transparent elements, and a rotating central box powered by a small motor.
Originally making waves in 2020 for winning the grand prize at the Lego and Universal Music's 'Music To Our Ears!' competition, the set was not meant for commercial production at that point. However, Harboun decided to resubmit the project to LEGO, saying, 'We're feeling inspired to try 'One More Time' after seeing Daft Punk making their LEGO debut in the upcoming film Piece By Piece, alongside Pharrell Williams'.
Daft Punk fans are eagerly waiting for this to be an official set, hoping to add to their collection. The final decision will be known at the end of 2025, but what do you think about this build?

Challenge to build dream, brick by brick
South Korea trip awaits winners of competition testing imagination, creativity of students THE regional Legoland School Challenge is back and it promises to be bigger, bolder and more inspiring than ever. Now in its fourth year, the Legoland Malaysia School Challenge has kicked off, inviting students aged seven to 17 to compete in a creative contest. Organised in partnership with the Education Ministry, the challenge encourages young minds to build their dream travel destinations using Lego bricks, anything from an underwater city, a floating island to a futuristic wonderland in space. This year's theme, 'Build Your Dream Destination', opens up a world of possibilities across three age-based categories, which is junior (seven to nine), primary (10 to 12) and secondary (13 to 17). Legoland Malaysia Resort vice-president CS Lim said the Legoland School Challenge had always been more than just a competition as it helped cultivate essential skills such as problem solving, critical thinking and innovation in future leaders. 'Since we expanded last year to include participation from schools across Asia, this competition has also become an avenue for cultural exchange for students and teachers alike. 'We look forward to welcoming more participants this year across the region and seeing their creativity unleashed.' In a new twist for this year's competition, the stakes are higher as winners from the primary and secondary categories will earn a trip to Legoland Korea while the junior champions will enjoy an exclusive getaway at Legoland Malaysia. Also new this year is the speed building showdown, where the top five finalist teams in each category will race against the clock in a 45-minute live build at the grand finale. All finalist teams will receive a three-day, two-night stay at Legoland Malaysia Hotel, Lego trophies, exclusive Lego sets and annual passes to Legoland Malaysia Resort. Among the most inspiring stories is that of 17-year-old Nathanael Yap, a three-time grand prize winner. 'Every year, I teamed up with friends, solve problems creatively and build something we were proud of, brick by brick. 'The challenge helped shape my interest in design and engineering. I hope this year's teams push their limits to discover what they are capable of.' This year's edition is supported by the Education Ministry, Tourism Malaysia, group, and the Lego Group. Malaysia general manager Stephane Thong said the partnership with Legoland was a natural extension of the company's commitment to fostering communities, especially as this year's theme of 'Build Your Dream Destination' resonated strongly with its brand. 'We are proud to support this inspiring initiative by awarding this year's grand prize winners with an unforgettable journey to South Korea and believe it will help broaden their horizons as they experience this vibrant country's cultures and traditions,' he said. The competition is open to teams of three to four students and one teacher. The registration deadline is June 15. To register, visit or Legoland Malaysia's social media accounts.

'Addison' review: A new pop powerhouse is born in Addison Rae
Addison Rae's debut, Addison, is full, stuffed with bejeweled, hypnotic pop songs for the post-BRAT crowd. The pop album of the summer is here. Addison Rae's debut, Addison , is full, stuffed with bejeweled, hypnotic pop songs for the post- BRAT crowd. Hedonism has a new hero. For those who've watched her rise, it's almost impossible to believe. It wasn't so long ago - almost exactly a year into the Covid-19 pandemic - that a young Rae went on The Tonight Show and taught its host Jimmy Fallon a few stiff, meme-able TikTok dance moves, then what made up the bulk of her career. It was met with almost immediate backlash, as is common for young women with viral posts. But she wielded it like a weapon: Social media celebrity begat acting roles for Rae, then a coveted collaboration with Charli XCX in the form of a Von Dutch remix, and now, at age 24, her final form: becoming the hyper-ambitious, hyper-femme pop star for the current moment. As a full body of work, Addison taps into the genre-agnostic zeitgeist, where pop music appears edgy and elastic. The songs speak for themselves, from the pitch-shifted trip-hop Headphones On and the snapped percussion, minor chords, NSFW lyrics and vanishing synths of High Fashion to the Madonna Ray of Light -cosplay Aquamarine atop a house beat and its chantable, spoken chorus: "The world is my oyster/ Baby, come touch the pearl/ The world is my oyster/ And I'm the only girl". Humour and girlhood are intertwined with less of a Sabrina Carpenter-wink and more of cheery irony. "Money loves me," she yells on Money Is Everything . "I'm the richest girl in the world! Then, a giggle and a kiss." ("Girl", to this writer's count, is uttered 20 times across the album. Across its 12 tracks, she is both the divine feminine and the girl next door. Often, they are one in the same.) Rae isn't reinventing the wheel here, but she is carefully pulling from her inspirations. Her story recalls Britney Spears: The pair are from Louisiana, became famous young, and recorded their unique, sensual, layered pop music in Stockholm, Sweden, in and around super producer Max Martin. There's the earned Lana Del Rey parity, like in the Born to Die -channeling Diet Pepsi , echoes of Charli in the bouncy opener New York , and tinges of ethereal Enya production on the dreamy Summer Forever . For Addison , Rae partnered with two primary collaborators - Luka Kloser and Elvira Anderfjärd, who goes simply by Elvira - an unusually small team for a major label pop release. But that intimacy is one of the album's superpowers, a sensibility that teeters between close mic recordings and big late-night anthems. In the latter case, look no further than Fame Is a Gun , an easy song-of-the-summer contender, a sunglasses-in-the-club banger with synthetic vocal textures and an unignorable chorus. In the lead up to the release of Addison , Rae has positioned her early TikTok fame as a means to an end. There aren't many avenues to Hollywood from Lafayette, Louisiana, and social media, for some, is a democratizing tool. Rae used her dance training to build a name for herself on the platform, something that has no doubt laid an ideal foundation for pop superstardom - just consider how Justin Bieber did something similar with covers on YouTube not so many years ago. It feels full circle, then, that Rae's stellar debut album aims to do what her videos on TikTok attempted to do, what she's always wanted to do - dance, and get others to dance, too. — AP

Zachary Levi describes facing wrath of Hollywood for supporting Trump
The 'Shazam!' star endorsed Trump in the 2024 presidential election. Photos: Zachary Levi/Instagram, AP Zachary Levi is opening up on navigating the backlash he's faced due to his support of Donald Trump and espousing controversial views on Covid-19 vaccines. The Shazam! star endorsed Trump in the 2024 presidential election after his preferred candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. dropped out and joined forces with the MAGA leader. Already courting 'cancellation' because of his vaccine scepticism, he called the move 'career suicide' at the time because 'Hollywood is a very, very liberal town.' In a wide-ranging interview published May 22, Levi revealed that he's since experienced the wrath of Hollywood. 'I know that there are people that would prefer not to work with me now because of my opinions. My team has let me know,' he told Variety executive editor Tatiana Siegel. 'They haven't given me any specific names, but there are people who prefer not to work with me at this time. And it's unfortunate.' The self-described Hollywood pariah – whose credits include Chuck , Thor: Ragnarok and Harold And The Purple Crayon – also revealed that while he may be one of few people in the industry who publicly came forward with their support of Trump, he's not the only one. 'I know it to be true because I've gotten messages from lots of people who I won't name but who were very grateful to me for taking the stand that I took,' Levi said. 'They would tell me, 'I want to do that, but I'm so afraid.' And I would tell them, 'Listen, you're on your journey. I'm on my journey. You've got to keep trusting God. And if you feel compelled to step out in that way, then do it boldly and know that you're going to be OK. "And if you don't feel that conviction yet, then don't. It's all good.'' The 44-year-old Louisiana native, who welcomed his first child with photographer Maggie Keating in April, also shared his true thoughts on Trump himself, saying he's not blind to certain issues. 'I was not a fan of Trump's Trumpiness. I didn't like a lot of these personal things, the ways that he carries himself a lot of the time,' Levi confessed. 'I understand people's aversion. Do I think the whole package is somehow perfect? No. In fact, most people who voted for Donald Trump recognise a lot of the imperfections in all of it. Nobody was saying, 'This is the Orange Messiah.'' – New York Daily News/Tribune News Service
