Mohanlal gracefully embraces his feminine energy in jewellery ad, fan says ‘Those hand moments done so beautifully'. Watch
The ad opens with Mohanlal stepping out of his car. He is welcomed warmly by Prakash, who walks him through the shoot setup. 'We've shot this in fashion photography style,' he says, before introducing Mohanlal to the model, 'Brother, this is Shivani.' From the moment Mohanlal meets Shivani, his gaze is subtly drawn to the exquisite diamond jewellery she is wearing. The scene transitions quickly to Shivani removing the jewellery and walking off with Prakash. In a blink-and-miss moment, Mohanlal slyly picks up the jewellery and that's when the real drama begins.
As the crew scrambles in panic trying to locate the missing pieces, their search leads them to Mohanlal's vanity van. What follows is a stunning twist–the actor, now adorned with the jewellery, bracelet, and ring, is seen gracefully embracing his feminine energy. He dances with elegance and abandon, effortlessly pulling off delicate hand gestures and graceful spins, commanding your full attention every second.

Another said, 'How effortlessly this man switches from the most masculine characters to the most feminine ones. A true legend.' Other comments read, 'Damn, he did it so gracefully', 'I cringed — but also admired how natural it looked', and 'Those hand movements… done so beautifully.'

BTS rumoured to feature on Michael Jackson tribute album, and MJ fans are calling it a 'disrespect': 'No, thank you'
South Korean boy band BTS' comeback is inarguably one of the most anticipated events in global pop culture. The septet is set to release a new album in spring 2026 and is currently in Los Angeles working on the upcoming project. While the members have remained tight-lipped about their professional plans, they've kept fans engaged with glimpses into their personal lives. Now, fresh rumours suggest that BTS has recorded vocals for unreleased Michael Jackson tracks as part of a forthcoming tribute album. For long-time fans of RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, the news isn't all that surprising, especially since Jungkook has frequently cited the late pop icon as a major influence. However, those unfamiliar with BTS' global impact and musical legacy have voiced scepticism, questioning whether a Korean boy band should be involved in preserving Michael Jackson's heritage. This has now ignited a heated debate on X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit. Scroll ahead to find out more. Michael Jackson's upcoming tribute album and BTS' involvement According to MJ VIBE, a well-respected Michael Jackson fan community, Michael Jackson spent five months living at Grouse Lodge in Ireland back in 2006, working on music with top-tier producers and artists alongside his family. Although those sessions were never completed before his passing in 2009, the recordings were safely preserved, and now, studio owner Paddy Dunning is leading a new effort to bring Jackson's unfinished vision to life. After a recent trip to the U.S., Dunning revealed that several major global artists are now involved in the project. 'The sessions started last year, and we've already had the Korean boy band BTS over at Grouse Lodge recording one of the songs,' he told The Irish Sun. 'There are about ten more tracks written specifically for Michael by his collaborators here in Ireland, including producer Rodney Jerkins and rapper Nephew, both of whom are fully on board.' While there's no official confirmation yet, sources say BTS has already wrapped up their recording session, news that has sent ARMYs into overdrive. However, fans of Michael Jackson are not really impressed. BTS and Michael Jackson collab: Why is the internet divided? Over on Michael Jackson's fan subreddit, reactions to the rumoured BTS collaboration have been mixed, with many fans of the late pop icon expressing scepticism and frustration. One user strongly criticised the decision, writing, "It pisses me off that the estate continues to disrespect MJ and the fan community this way. This isn't the first time they've lent unreleased/unheard music to other artists. I don't care who the artist is, how big of a fan they are, etc. The estate hasn't released 'new' music in over a decade. This is all a big middle finger to us all and to MJ, as if he's not good enough to release his own versions of these songs. Piss on Branca." Another echoed the sentiment, saying, "They can keep it and just give us the Michael Jackson version only, and plus, I want more footage of him anyway!" A third chimed in, "Don't want it. Their company likes to hop on things that would make them the most money. If it's an unreleased song, I'd rather hear Michael sing it." Some reactions were more direct and critical of BTS themselves. One user commented, "Sorry, but no. K-pop sucks, and it's just a culture-vulture artificial genre. Sucks." Another added, "These should either remain unreleased or be released with only MJ's vocals. How much I like BTS & Justin Timberlake (equally, btw), imo the original versions should've been the only ones released." Still, not all fans were opposed to the idea. Several users voiced their support for the rumoured project, suggesting that Michael Jackson would have appreciated BTS and their global impact. "I'm a big fan of both, so this is actually enticing news for me. Plus, I know how much BTS genuinely loves and admires MJ, and their work ethic seems to be unmatched compared to most mainstream US pop artists who are, at this point, lacklustre and famous more for their looks than talent or performances," one user shared.

'Republican' Sydney Sweeney links up with Euphoria cast including trans actress Hunter Schafer amid American Eagle backlash
Sydney Sweeney was spotted belting out karaoke with her Euphoria besties this weekend, and honestly, the timing couldn't be messier. Just days after her new American Eagle campaign dropped and right after the internet found out she's allegedly registered as a Republican, Sydney hit up The GasLite in Santa Monica like nothing happened. Between political drama and brand backlash, fans are now side-eyeing her recent outing, with many wondering if her hanging out with Hunter Schaffer, a pro-Palestine trans actor, is a PR move. Sydney Sweeney parties with the Euphoria cast amid political backlash In clips all over TikTok and Reddit, Sydney was seen singing her heart out alongside Hunter Schafer and Maude Apatow, looking unbothered in low-rise jeans and good lighting. Keeping true to her American Eagle sponsorship, she was seen dressed in an oversized denim shirt. In the now viral videos, the girls are seen vibing, and even though it was their first sighting together in years, they all looked pretty tight with each other. While some fans chalked it up to a classic girls' night, others couldn't help but notice that Hunter—a trans activist known for protesting for Palestine—was suddenly buddying up with someone whose alleged political affiliations don't exactly scream 'progressive solidarity.' According to several fan pages, Jacob Elordi was also lurking in the background, but the videos say this could have very well been a chill girls night out. Reddit thinks it's a PR play—and they're not subtle about it Users across Reddit are calling this whole outing a soft rebrand in real-time. 'Aaand now the PR machine is running at full throttle,' one person wrote. Another added, 'Quick, quick, put MAGAney with world-famous trans actress Hunter for the first time in years.' Many fans feel Hunter's presence was the ultimate cleanup move, like a glittery Instagram filter over a messy situation. Fans are disappointed in Hunter Schafer for co-signing the chaos Hunter's appearance in the night-out clips is stirring its own mini firestorm. Some fans were surprised and a little heartbroken to see her hanging out with Sydney in the middle of a political controversy. 'Hunter is out here whitewashing Sydney's image without even realising it,' one user said. Others pointed out that Hunter's own activism makes this friendship harder to swallow, especially when it feels like it's being used to soften Sydney's rep. Wait, so is Sydney really a Republican or what? BuzzFeed recently reported that Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican voter in Idaho, which sent her name straight back into trending territory. While being registered doesn't confirm every belief, it lines up with past internet drama like that cowboy-themed birthday party her family threw, complete with what looked like MAGA gear. Fans who were already iffy about her political silence are now raising eyebrows even higher. The American Eagle campaign that launched a thousand tweets Sydney's new American Eagle campaign was supposed to be nostalgic, cute, and denim-core. Instead, it landed right in the middle of a full-blown internet spiral. Some fans were confused why the brand chose her at all, while others are now boycotting the collab. TikTok and Twitter users called it 'tone deaf,' with many believing it reflected white supremacy, but American Eagle hit back at criticism, saying, 'it was always about jeans, not genes'. About Euphoria 3 According to Deadline, Euphoria season 3 is currently aiming for a 2026 release. Filming officially began in February 2025 in Los Angeles, but HBO hasn't confirmed a premiere date yet. The upcoming season is expected to feature eight episodes, continuing the format of the previous two seasons. The Emmy-winning series stars Zendaya as Rue, alongside Hunter Schafer, Sydney Sweeney, Alexa Demie, Maude Apatow, Jacob Elordi, and more. Earlier, photos of Sweeney shooting for the show in a wedding gown were leaked online, hinting she might be getting married to Nate (Jacob Elordi) in the show, and well, all fans ever wanted was for Cassie to be happier.
