Zoe Kravitz reveals bathroom disaster at Taylor Swift's home; ‘We're scratching the walls'
Zoë Kravitz shares a humorous, yet perhaps damaging, tale about her stay at pop star Taylor Swift's house. Zoe Kravitz explained that Swift's 'very beautiful house from the '30s' seemed like the sort of place you want to 'preserve and take care of.' (REUTERS) In an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Kravitz revealed that Swift kindly welcomed her and her mother, Lisa Bonet, during the early 2025 wildfires in Los Angeles. Bonet's pet snake, Orpheus, accompanied the duo, as they stayed there for almost two weeks. Kravitz explained that Swift's 'very beautiful house from the '30s' seemed like the sort of place you want to 'preserve and take care of.' 'My mom has a pet snake and so she came over with the snake,' she said. She further revealed that she told her mom on her last day that she intended to be such a nice guest that the singer 'wouldn't even know we were here.'

Orpheus had discovered 'a little hole in the corner' in Swift's bathroom and slithered inside. According to Kravitz, the hole was adjacent to a built-in bench that had drawers. Kravitz had to call the housing manager because the snake had gotten farther away as they attempted to catch it. 'I get down the ground, I take the drawers out [and] as this is happening, the snake is getting further and further [away] … I was panicking so much,' she revealed. In an attempt to recover Orpheus, Kravitz, her mother, and the home manager broke into the banquette with a crowbar. "We're ripping up the tile, we're scratching the walls … [We] completely destroyed Taylor's bathroom," Kravitz acknowledged. She said that she intended to pay for the repairs and planned to get it fixed before Swift, 35, learned about it. However, the singer later found out anyhow. 'I remember calling her and saying, 'Hey … I wanted to talk to you about something,' And she was like, 'Is it the fact that you almost lost a snake in the house and destroyed my bathroom?'' Kravitz disclosed her conversation with Swift.

Screen Bengali films for at least one show every day: State govt's order to cinemas
The West Bengal government on Wednesday made it mandatory for all cinema halls across the state to screen at least one Bengali film during prime time on all of their screens every day. The Bengal government's notification explained that the regional films should be screened during Prime time, which is between 3 pm and 9 pm.(Representative File/Reuters) The official notification issued by the state government's information and cultural affairs department explained that the regional films should be screened during Prime time, which is between 3 pm and 9 pm. Each screen, including those in multiplexes, must dedicate one-prime slot every day exclusively to Bengali films. The development comes as a move to promote the Bengali film industry. "This decision reflects the state government's long-standing efforts to encourage regional cinema and ensure that Bengali films receive adequate exposure and commercial opportunity in their home state," an official said. The notification also notes the amendments to the West Bengal Cinemas (Regulation of Public Exhibitions) Rules, 1956, which will be made in due course to align with the new screening directive. The current order for screening Bengali films every day for all the 365 days in the year come into effect immediately.

Did an orca attack marine trainer Jessica Radcliffe? Fact-checking the viral video
A viral video of an orca attacking marine trainer Jessica Radcliffe was debunked as an AI-generated hoax. The clip showed a young trainer performing with a killer whale at the so-called Pacific Blue Marine Park. But moments later, it seemed to lunge, dragging Jessica Radcliffe under the water While the Jessica Radcliffe video is entirely fake, real-life orca incidents, especially those in captivity, have been recorded over the years. File image/Reuters For days, social media has been flooded with the dramatic video of a killer whale supposedly attacking and killing marine trainer Jessica Radcliffe during a live show. The alleged incident, captured in the now viral video, triggered shock, outrage, and grief online. But here's the twist: none of it was real. Investigators quickly uncovered that the so-called 'tragedy' was nothing more than a fabricated hoax. The trainer's name, the marine park, even the supposed attack, all of it was pure fiction generated by artificial intelligence. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Here's how the viral claim fell apart. What the viral video shows The viral clip appears to show a young woman performing with an orca at the so-called Pacific Blue Marine Park. Crowds can be heard cheering as the whale surfaces and the woman stands on its back. But moments later, the orca seems to lunge, dragging 'Jessica Radcliffe' under the water. I have jessica radcliffe video orca, jessica radcliffe orca attack video, video jessica accident orque!! 6 minutes video 👇 — Burhan Khizer (@MeerKp20450) August 11, 2025 According to the online narrative, Radcliffe, 23, allegedly died just minutes after being pulled from the water. Those claiming to have 'witnessed' the incident described it as horrifying. The footage spread rapidly across TikTok, Facebook, and other platforms, sparking heated discussions about the ethics of keeping wild animals in captivity and the safety of marine park performances. One user wrote, 'They are called killer whales for a reason, right?' Another argued, 'That's why they belong in the wild and not in captivity.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Others were more sceptical, with one commenter pointing out, 'Doesn't show anything but a big splash and a bunch of people running.' How was the viral video debunked? Digital forensic experts and fact-checkers quickly spotted red flags. For starters, there were no credible news reports, obituaries, or official statements from any marine park that matched the supposed incident. In genuine cases involving animal attacks, confirmations from local authorities and the facility involved usually surface within hours. Then came the audio. Experts noted that the voices in the clip sounded unnaturally flat, with awkward pauses, a common giveaway of AI-generated speech. Visual analysis also revealed inconsistencies. The way the water splashed and how the figures moved didn't quite line up, further suggesting that the footage was artificially generated, The Star reported. And the biggest clue? The 'Pacific Blue Marine Park' doesn't exist; there is no such registered facility anywhere. Also read: Why Tahlequah, the killer orca that carried its dead calf for weeks, is mourning again But have orca attacks really happened? While the Jessica Radcliffe video is entirely fake, real-life orca incidents have been recorded over the years. Orcas, often called killer whales, are intelligent, social predators that live in oceans across the globe. In the wild, they are not generally considered a threat to humans. Most fatal encounters have happened in captivity, where stress, confinement, and unnatural environments can trigger dangerous behaviour. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Photo of Tilikum performing at SeaWorld Orlando in Florida in 2009. File photo/Reuters One of the most notorious cases involves Tilikum, a massive male orca linked to three deaths. In 1991, trainer Keltie Byrne fell into Tilikum's tank at Sealand of the Pacific and drowned, repeatedly pulled underwater while other orcas blocked rescue efforts. Eight years later, in 1999, Daniel Dukes was found dead on Tilikum's back, with investigators believing he may have entered the pool at night. The most infamous incident occurred in 2010, when Tilikum killed experienced SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau during a show in Orlando, dragging her underwater in a prolonged struggle. Other tragedies have happened, too. In 2009, an orca named Keto killed Spanish trainer Alexis Martinez during a rehearsal, reminding the world that these powerful animals, especially in captivity, can be unpredictable and deadly.
