This Is When Taylor Swift's 'New Heights' Podcast Episode Drops
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. THE RUNDOWN True to form, Taylor Swift has once again sent the world into a fevered frenzy with the surprise announcement of her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl. Swift's marketing machine kicked into high gear on Monday night when her website transformed into a glittering orange spectacle, complete with a countdown timer ticking toward 12:12 A.M. on August 12. The numerical symbolism wasn't lost on devoted Swifties, who've learned to decode every easter egg the artist drops. When the countdown hit zero, Swift's website predictably crashed under the weight of millions of eager fans before re-booting with sparse details about the mysterious new project. It was the star's appearance on her partner Travis Kelce's podcast, however, that delivered the money shot. In a teaser clip, Swift dramatically opens a briefcase to reveal a blurred vinyl while declaring, 'This is my brand new album, The Life of a Showgirl.' The full episode is coming out very soon—and is bound to contain much more information about the project. Swift's debut podcast appearance on Travis Kelce's New Heights will be released at 7 P.M. ET on August 13. You can watch the podcast here on its YouTube channel. You can also hear it on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Swift hasn't revealed the release date yet. However, pre-orders indicate shipping by October 13. Swift's team has emphasized this isn't the actual release date, and Swift could very well share it tonight.

Shaq opens up on painkiller use — and ‘heated' conversations over addiction
Shaquille O'Neal was candid about his use of pain pills and the 'lifetime ban on strip clubs' that he sentenced himself to after going off the rails during his NBA career. During an appearance on the 'Armchair Expert' podcast, the four-time NBA champion recalled having to play through injuries on pain pills in order to 'play great' — and explained that he didn't realize he was addicted. 'You had to be on pain pills to play. You had to,' host Dax Shepard said, to which Shaq confirmed he did. 'Have you ever been scared about any of that addiction wise?' Shepard asked. 3 Shaquille O'Neal discusses navigating the fine line between pain relief and addiction during an appearance on the 'Armchair Expert' podcast with Dax Shepard on August 11, 2025. YouTube/Armchair Expert 'I have a question. Is addicting for the chemical effect or are you just taking it?' O'Neal said. 'Because I was having a heated discussion with my doctors like, 'You were addicted.' But I didn't feel high… [Yes, I felt the absence of pain]. So I didn't know that was addiction. '… I don't think I was suffering mentally. I think if I had a knack, I would take it [because] I don't want to feel that knack because we need this game.' '… Then I would do homeboy math. If it said take one, I'm taking three… I had to have them, so is that addiction?' 3 Lakers center Shaquille O'Neal (R) kisses the MVP trophy as teammate Kobe Bryant kisses the NBA championship trophy as they celebrate in the locker room after winning the NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers, June 19, 2000. REUTERS O'Neal, 53, added that he was taking anti-inflammatories for 19 years as a part of his regular routine during the season. He did not take them in the summer and he didn't feel withdrawal effects. 'It's not that I was hiding it… the trainers knew. I mean, I'm not telling my wife or my kids or my boys,' O'Neal said. Nowadays, O'Neal reaches for Hookah to stay grounded and social. 'I've never been into weed. Hookah,' he said. 'No [it doesn't give me a buzz], it enables me to follow the routine of sit your ass down. When I was young and dumb and I lost my family — I lost my family by doing too much, being out, being in too many places. But now I don't go to clubs, I don't go to gentleman's clubs. 'If you see me in the club it's because I am DJing. I gave myself a lifetime ban that stuff. But I am not a mute. I don't just work and go home. I allow myself to go to a hookah bar.' 3 Shaquille O'Neal aka DJ Diesel. O'Neal and his ex-wife Shaunie Henderson share four children: sons Shareef and Shaqir and daughters Amirah and Me'arah. They married in 2002 and Shaunie filed for divorce in 2009. It was finalized in 2011. O'Neal has a daughter, Taahirah, from an earlier relationship — and Henderson's son Myles, also from a previous relationship, later took on O'Neal's surname.

Breaking Down the Ending of Netflix's 'Saare Jahan Se Accha: The Silent Guardians'
Warning: This post contains spoilers for Saare Jahan Se Accha. Set in the 1970s, Saare Jahan Se Accha: The Silent Guardians unspools an intense tale of espionage and military strategy, following an Indian counterintelligence officer as he confronts an imminent nuclear threat. Premiering on Aug. 13 on Netflix, the series finds drama in the complex and dangerous workings of intelligence operations, where every step can mean the difference between life and death. By showcasing the intrigue, betrayal, and sacrifice of the agents involved, the series exposes the human cost behind national security. Let's break down the major plot lines in Saare Jahan Se Accha: The Silent Guardians. The conflict between India and Pakistan in Saare Jahan Se Accha is more than a territorial or ideological dispute—it is a race for power. The storyline is inspired by real historical events: since the partition of the British subcontinent in 1947, the two countries have fought wars primarily over the disputed Kashmir province. In the series—which begins in the early 1960s and unfolds in a linear timeline—after two wars within five years, Indian physicist Homi Jehangir Bhabha publicly advocates for India to become a nuclear power. This declaration draws the attention of the CIA, which fears an arms race in the region and begins acting to prevent India from developing its bomb. Indian agent Vishnu Shankar (Pratik Gandhi) discovers that confidential information about Bhabha's trip was leaked to the Americans and tries to prevent an assassination attempt. However, the scientist dies when the plane explodes mid-air in 1966, putting India's nuclear program on hold. This event leads to the creation of a new Indian espionage agency, focused especially on monitoring threats in enemy territories: the Research and Analysis Wing (R&AW). In Saare Jahan Se Accha, tensions between the countries rise again with the crisis in East Pakistan that triggers the 1971 war. Pakistan is divided, and India claims victory—which is seen as a national humiliation across the border. The prime ministers of both countries sign the Simla Agreement, intended as a peace treaty, but unexpectedly marking the beginning of another conflict. Determined never to lose again, the Pakistani government secretly initiates efforts to acquire its own nuclear bomb, turning the dispute into a silent war of intelligence and strategy. In Episode 3 of the series, it becomes clear that Pakistan is not building its own nuclear reactor from scratch, but buying one from the French manufacturer HGN—a company active in nuclear technology that also helped China become a nuclear power—with components that will enable the production of neutralized plutonium. This material will be converted into weapons-grade plutonium, suitable for nuclear arms manufacture. To curb this threat, Vishnu, now leading R&AW operations in Pakistan, organizes a risky secret mission to intercept a shipment near the port of Gadani, where the cargo is expected to arrive. He is aided by Yasir Abbas, a weapons specialist; Raghuveer Singh, a sniper who served in Kashmir and Tawang; Uday Bhan, an explosives expert; and Sukhbir Singh, an Indian agent undercover in Pakistan posing as a Karachi stockbroker. With heavy military security and constant surveillance, the location is nearly impenetrable but still has vulnerabilities. Vishnu's team infiltrates an abandoned underground tunnel about 800 meters from the port to plant explosives at strategic points, since the trucks carrying the dismantled reactor—split into three loads—will pass directly above it. However, Pakistani soldiers patrolling the area discover the team, leading to a firefight that kills three soldiers. Yasir, Uday, and Raghuveer don Pakistani army uniforms to execute a new plan: blow up the ship carrying the reactor. Meanwhile, Vishnu heads to a watchtower and Sukhbir sets off in a boat with a backup plan if the others fail to detonate the explosives from inside. Yasir, Uday, and Raghuveer are killed by Pakistani forces after planting explosives on the cargo, which are then defused. Using a walkie-talkie, Vishnu informs Sukhbir of the situation, and then he initiates his plan. Piloting a boat loaded with explosives toward the ship, Sukhbir exchanges gunfire with the army once they spot him. Despite being wounded, he recovers enough to successfully ram into the ship, resulting in a massive explosion that destroys both vessels. The mission was never supposed to be a suicide operation, but following the failure of the initial plan and the deaths of the specialists, Sukhbir initiated his backup plan. With that, Pakistan loses its nuclear reactor. At the start of Saare Jahan Se Accha, several spies from the CIA, Mossad, and KGB are uncovered and killed in Pakistan, as well as intermediaries assisting India. However, the most prominent characters involved in the R&AW mission die beginning in Episode 3. Naushad Ahmed, a respected senior officer in the Pakistan Army, begins feeding information on Pakistan's nuclear program to R&AW after being blackmailed with photos of his son, Altamash Ahmed, with another boy. Naushad asks his friend Murtaza Malik, head of Pakistan's intelligence agency, to look after his son before said friend shoots him in the head. The three specialists on Vishnu's team—Yasir Abbas, Raghuveer Singh, and Uday Bhan—are killed during the violent confrontation with Pakistani soldiers on the ship. The most poignant sacrifice is that of Sukhbir, whose intentional crash into the cargo ship amounts to a suicide mission. This act ensures the reactor's total destruction as he sacrifices his life for the success of the operation and his country. Vishnu Shankar is the sole survivor of this mission, carrying the memory of his fallen comrades who gave their lives for national security—a silent and invisible gesture to the public. The series' conclusion reinforces the somber tone that permeates the narrative. After the successful mission, Vishnu returns to India but carries the weight of loss and the heavy responsibility of his role. Though Vishnu's mission to sabotage the imminent nuclear threat succeeds, he is already en route to a new assignment in the final minutes of the last episode. The series closes with Vishnu on the India-China border, symbolizing that despite this battle's victory, the intelligence war never ends. Each completed mission is merely a step toward the next, in a relentless fight to protect his country from unseen dangers.
