No, Hasan Raheem has not tied the knot just yet
Back in April, the Joona heartthrob sent fans into a collective meltdown with an Instagram post showing him suited up like a groom, seated next to a woman in bridal wear. "Kept it lowkey, it was a big day," Raheem wrote in the caption. Naturally, Gen-Z went into emotional cardiac arrest, because had Pakistan's crush really gone and soft-launched a wedding?
It turns out that the shoot was just a teaser for MEMORIES, the first track from his upcoming album DKP. The song dropped on Friday, and so did our jaws.
A groovy Punjabi-English crossover featuring the powerhouse Peechay Hutt royalty Justin Bibis, MEMORIES marks Raheem's first foray into Punjabi vocals. It's moody yet groovy, like crying in the middle of the dance floor while still serving looks. Shehryar Khan's production gives it that slick, urban beat we've come to expect from Raheem's genre-bending, bedroom-pop style.
And the video is pure, iconic chaos. Set at a wedding, Raheem (playing groom) is confronted mid-celebration by the ghosts of his ex-girlfriends. What follows is a dramatic, slow-mo showdown that quickly escalates into a stiletto-flinging brawl. The women unite against their shared heartbreak, and Raheem gets the on-screen thrashing of a lifetime. Blood, glitter, bruised egos — it's heartbreak with an RSVP. There's even a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment where someone hurls a cake. It's cinematic mischief at its finest.
Online reactions were predictably unhinged. "I knew this was a prank," yelled one fan. "Bro, you played with my heart," wept another. Actor Osman Khalid Butt took a jab at Raheem's trademark messy hair, commenting, "I knew the news couldn't be real when I saw your unwashed hair." Anoushey Ashraf simply declared, "Good job!"
Long before the wedding-day chaos of MEMORIES, Raheem was winning hearts with his tender, unplugged performances. Back in February, he shared a stripped-down version of Obvious on Instagram, enchanting fans with his warm, soulful vocals and intimate lyricism. With DKP on the horizon, it's safe to say Raheem's just getting started.

What is TS12? – Is Taylor Swift announcing new music?
Taylor Swift fans are convinced a new album announcement is imminent, as cryptic clues shared by Swift's team and online resurfaced videos fuel intense speculation ahead of a possible August 12 reveal. On Monday, Swift's official fan account, Taylor Nation, posted a carousel of 12 photos from the Eras Tour on Instagram, each featuring Swift in orange-toned outfits. The caption — 'Thinking about when she said 'See you next era…'❤️🔥' — instantly caught fans' attention. Orange has never been the theme color for any of Swift's previous albums, leading many to believe it may signal her upcoming 12th studio release, dubbed 'TS12' by fans. Shortly after, a resurfaced TikTok video Swift originally posted in October 2024 began circulating again. In the clip, she walks around Hard Rock Stadium in Miami and stops at section A12 before turning to the camera and winking — a moment fans now view as another intentional nod to her next project. Adding fuel to the rumors, Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason teased a 'special episode' of their New Heights podcast set to drop Wednesday, August 13 — notably, Swift's favorite number. The promotional image features an orange background and a female silhouette, prompting speculation that Swift may appear as a guest to announce the album. Republic Records, Swift's label, also engaged with Taylor Nation's Instagram post and the podcast teaser, further reinforcing fan theories. Although Swift has not officially confirmed new music, signs suggest a reveal is near. In April, DJ Jacob Criborn mentioned that Swedish composer Erik Arvinder was helping finish Swift's new record, though no further details were shared. The anticipation follows Swift's April 2024 release of The Tortured Poets Department and her May 2025 announcement that she now owns her full discography. Swift called the moment her 'greatest dream come true,' after a lengthy battle over her master recordings. As fans eagerly await confirmation, many believe the clues point to a major announcement by August 12 or 13.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez appear to be engaged after nearly a decade together
Cristiano Ronaldo's long-time partner, Georgina Rodriguez, has sparked major engagement speculation after sharing a telling post on Instagram that seems to confirm the couple is now engaged. Rodriguez, 31, posted a photo of her hand adorned with a prominent ring resting atop Ronaldo's hand, accompanied by the caption: 'Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.' The message, widely interpreted as a confirmation of a marriage proposal, has fueled excitement among fans. The couple first met in 2016 when Georgina was working as a sales assistant at a Gucci store in Madrid. Their relationship quickly developed from a private romance to a public partnership, becoming official when Georgina joined Ronaldo at the 2017 FIFA The Best Awards. Since then, the pair have built a large family together. Georgina gave birth to their first daughter, Alana Martina, later that same year. They later welcomed another daughter, Bella Esmeralda, in 2022, though heartbreakingly, her twin brother passed away during childbirth. Georgina has also played a significant role in raising Ronaldo's three older children: Cristiano Jr., and twins Eva and Mateo. Despite ongoing speculation over the years about when Ronaldo, now 40, might propose, he had previously said he was waiting for 'that click,' telling reporters, 'It could be in a year or it could be in six months or it could be in a month. I'm 1,000 percent sure that it'll happen.' Hints have emerged before—Georgina previously shared a photo wearing a different ring and was referred to as Ronaldo's 'wife' during a 2024 speech at the Globe Soccer Awards. Now, with her latest post, fans and media alike are treating it as the clearest indication yet that the football legend and the model-influencer are officially engaged.

Did Kylie Jenner's birthday hint trouble with Timothée Chalamet?
Kylie Jenner's 28th birthday has set the internet ablaze with rumours of a split from Timothée Chalamet, as eagle-eyed fans noticed the actor's conspicuous absence from her celebrations. Known for her extravagant parties and carefully curated public image, Kylie marked her big day surrounded by close friends and family, yet one of the most talked-about details was who wasn't there. While Kylie shared glamorous snaps and videos from the festivities, Chalamet, her partner of nearly two years, was nowhere in sight. More telling for some was his Instagram activity on the day. Instead of a loving tribute, the Dune star posted an unrelated black-and-white image of Muhammad Ali in the boxing ring with the caption 'Dream Big.' Followers immediately dissected the post, speculating whether it was a cryptic message or simply a poorly timed coincidence. Kylie's own posts stirred the pot further. In the days surrounding her birthday, she uploaded a carousel of tracks with heartbreak-heavy themes, including Jeff Buckley's soulful Lover, You Should've Come Over and Labi Siffre's bittersweet Crying, Laughing, Loving, Lying. Many interpreted these as thinly veiled hints at trouble in paradise. Despite the frenzy, some argue the couple's lack of public display could simply be a result of conflicting schedules. Chalamet is reportedly in Budapest filming Dune: Part Three, a project expected to keep him tied up for months. This wouldn't be the first time distance has fuelled rumours for celebrity couples. Still, the silence from both sides has only intensified the whispers. Kylie and Timothée have been a constant topic of fascination since their relationship became public at Beyoncé's Renaissance Tour in 2023. Now, their romance is once again making headlines, but for reasons neither has confirmed nor denied. For now, fans are left reading between the lines, wondering if this was a missed birthday or the first sign of an ending.
