Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The Pokémon Company launched a new expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket today, but before it was even released, it was subject to major controversy, which has resulted in a surprising change to the game. Just prior to the launch of the Wisdom of Sea and Sky expansion in Pokémon TCG Pocket, a datamine for the update made its way onto the internet. Among the cards leaked was an immersive rare card – some of the rarest cards in the game – for a Ho-Oh ex that bears a striking resemblance to fan art produced in 2021 by Chinese artist Lanjiujiu. Three starter Pokémon cards from the Pokémon TCG Pocket Wisdom of Sea and Sky expansion. Three starter Pokémon cards from the Pokémon TCG Pocket Wisdom of Sea and Sky expansion. The Pokémon Company Lanjiujiu noticed the resemblance and posted on X (formerly Twitter) in confusion, showing a comparison of the card with their artwork that shows it looking effectively identical. Many were quick to blame Pokémon TCG artist SIE NANAHARA, who's produced dozens of artworks for the Pokémon TCG, Pokémon TCG Pocket, and Magic the Gathering, among others, accusing her of plagiarism — but a new statement from The Pokémon Company has cleared up the situation. In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), The Pokémon Company through the official Pokémon TCG Pocket account shedding light on the situation and pledging to make things right. According to The Pokémon Company, illustrator SIE NANAHARA was provided with "incorrect reference materials" upon which to base her illustrations, resulting in the similarity to Lanjiujiu's artwork. After the discovery was made, The Pokémon Company quickly moved to remove the artwork from the affected cards – both Ho-Oh ex and Lugia ex, which features the Ho-Oh card in its immersive animation – and will be replacing it with new artwork in the future. The company says it will also be conducting an extensive review of artwork in the game to ensure no similar issues exist within prior works released in the game. We'd like to share an update about the upcoming expansion in #PokemonTCGPocket. — Pokémon TCG Pocket (@PokemonTCGP) July 30, 2025 As of the time of publishing, if players pull the card in a set, they're greeted with a blank, artwork-free card that simply says "New art coming soon." Attempting to play the immersive animation for the card sees players greeted with silence and a black screen for a few seconds, before the placeholder card is displayed again.

JaNa Craig Torches Kenny Rodriguez in Scathing Instagram Rant After Polished Breakup Statement: 'STFU, You Manipulative Liar'
What began as a cordial, albeit painful, split between Love Island USA Season 6 favorites JaNa Craig and Kenny Rodriguez has detonated into a full-blown social media war, and JaNa just burned the house down. In a savage follow-up to Kenny's polished and diplomatic breakup post, JaNa Craig exploded on Instagram Tuesday morning, accusing her ex of manipulation and emotional deceit. Craig's latest statement isn't just a clapback. It's scorched earth. '@kennyrodriguez stfu you manipulative liar,' she wrote bluntly. 'You not taking accountability and telling people the type of person you really are is insane to me!! My first statement was me being nice. Do not piss me off.' A Breakup Gone Nuclear Only an hour before Craig unleashed her fury, Kenny took to Instagram to share a carefully worded and emotionally tender message reflecting on their breakup and attempting to close the chapter on good terms. 'The past few days have been incredibly difficult,' Kenny wrote. 'Breakups are never easy, especially in the public eye… Sometimes, despite how deeply you care for someone, you come to the hard truth that the relationship was not something that could last long-term. I release this chapter with no ill will, only a hope that JaNa's path forward brings her nothing but happiness.' But to JaNa, the sentiment reeked of performative grace. And she wasn't having it. Her initial statement, shared with fans earlier today, was already heavy with veiled disappointment, hinting that something far more sinister had gone down behind closed doors. 'Thank you for all your love & support,' JaNa told fans. 'Please know that I have seen all the breakup theories and none have matched up to how terrible, disgusting and disappointing it truly is. Discovering that someone you loved isn't who you thought they were and that the relationship you thought you were building hasn't been genuine since day one has been truly devastating.' TMZ Confirms the Breakup and the Fallout Sources close to the couple told TMZ the split went down on Sunday morning, and it was JaNa who pulled the plug. While it's unclear what exactly triggered the end of their romance, the aftermath has been explosive. Fans noticed the couple had unfollowed each other and removed each other's names from their bios within hours, the classic Love Island death knell. Even more damning: JaNa's tight-knit inner circle, Serena Page and Leah Kateb, also known as 'PPG' (Powerpuff Girls) from their Love Island days, quickly unfollowed Kenny as well. Their boyfriends followed suit. This wasn't a mutual fade-out. This was a coordinated erasure. 'You don't unfollow someone's entire circle unless something nasty went down,' one Twitter user posted. 'I'm choosing to believe JaNa 100%.' The Split Heard 'Round the World JaNa and Kenny were once fan-favorite finalists from Love Island USA Season 6, celebrated for their electric chemistry and wholesome, goofy energy. But cracks had reportedly been forming behind the scenes, with fans recently clocking a noticeable shift in their online dynamic. They were posting loved-up photos one night and wiping each other from their digital lives the next. Insiders say JaNa has been leaning heavily on her friends since the breakup. Despite the public drama, those close to her say she's staying grounded in her faith and inner strength. 'As a child of God, I will always be okay,' she assured fans in her original post. Kenny, on the other hand, appears to be staying silent following JaNa's verbal evisceration. His Instagram story is now gone. He has yet to respond.

More soaps coverage SIGN UP FOR THE WHAT TO WATCH SOAPBOX NEWSLETTERThe Young and the Restless spoilers week of July 28-August 1General Hospital spoilers week of July 28-August 1Days of Our Lives spoilers week of July 28-August 1Beyond the Gates spoilers week of July 28-August 1The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers week of July 28-August 1 Despite Ridge's (Thorsten Kaye) opposition to the idea, Nick (Jack Wagner) was full steam ahead with the idea of going to Italy with Brooke (Katherine Kelly Lang). Eric (John McCook) warned his son that Brooke could slip away from him, once and for all, unless he acts. Eric is firmly in the Team Brooke camp, much to Ridge's frustration. Eric is hoping that the trip will remind his son that his destiny lies with Brooke. Though Ridge continued to insist that he's happily engaged to Taylor (Rebecca Budig), the idea of Brooke running off with Nick certainly gets under his skin. He might not be willing to admit it, but it seems like he's having some second thoughts about leaving Brooke behind. Here's the look-ahead preview of what's coming up this week: In the clip, Eric offers a heartfelt "Salut!" with Ridge and Brooke. They're in Capri, the weather is beautiful and the fashions are amazing. Brooke looks radiant, which is all the more reason for Ridge to be wary. Brooke and Ridge arrive on a boat and are welcomed by Eric, who standing above the dock with a smile on his face. (Eric is a big fan of Brooke and boats, obviously) Nick, in the meantime, looks like he missed the Capri memo. He's not on the island and he's desperate to get access to a boat so he can get there. Did Eric switch the itinerary around so that Nick would be in the wrong place? It certainly looks like it. Brooke takes another spin on the runway and can be seen waving to the adoring crowd while Nick, who suddenly looks pleased with himself, says it's "time for the fun to begin." Clearly, there's some big action coming up in Italy this week as Eric continues to clear a path for Ridge to get back with Brooke while Nick ramps up his pursuit of her. The big question is who will manage to win her affection, and at what cost. The Bold and the Beautiful airs weekdays on CBS and the following day on Paramount Plus.
