MrBeast plans a private island wedding
MrBeast picked Christmas Day to get down on one knee, making the moment emotionally charged while keeping the occasion somewhat low-key. The timing was a nod to his need for intimacy despite his celebrity public life. As opposed to his usual bigger-than-life productions, this milestone leaned more toward authentic emotion than spectacle.
According to the reports, the couple allegedly plans to hold a private wedding, perhaps on a private island, a move that again underscores their wish to keep part of their life out of the always-watchful eye of the internet.
While MrBeast is a multi-millionaire with an international business empire, he jokingly admitted in a post that he didn't have much money available to fund his next wedding. He joked about turning to his mother for assistance, making for an endearing moment with fans.
But don't get it twisted—his money is safe. Donaldson has a reputation for plowing almost all his earnings back into his content empire, which comprises YouTube channels, Feastables (his snack brand), a mobile game, a burger chain, and a production studio.
His system is less about conventional saving and more about multiplying influence and building a long-term brand legacy.

‘If Virat Kohli reduces that aggression, he…': Sreesanth breaks down RCB star's personality, says ‘I think he is…'
Since India's Champions Trophy final victory this year, Virat Kohli hasn't featured in any international match. The veteran announced his Test retirement during IPL 2025, and so didn't play in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. S Sreesanth analysed Virat Kohli's personality.(REUTERS) Kohli also announced his retirement from T20Is last year, and there have been question marks over his ODI future too. Rohit Sharma faces a similar issue, having retired from T20Is and Tests. But the pair have also publicly said that they would like to participate in the 2027 World Cup. S Sreesanth on Virat Kohli's aggression Speaking on a YouTube show recently, S Sreesanth spoke about Kohli's so-called aggressive personality during cricket matches, and called it an 'obsession'. 'Noting (on whether he would change anything). What other calls aggression, I call it passion. Is Virat Kohli aggressive? No. I think he is obsessed. Virat's aggression, people say, is a lot. I would say if he reduces that aggression, he won't be the same player,' he said. Kohli is expected to make his next India appearance during the upcoming Australia Tour, scheduled for later this year, which will also consist of ODIs. Meanwhile, Sreesanth also recalled the infamous IPL 2008 slap incident, where Harbhajan Singh hit him. 'When I told my daughter, 'This is Bhajji pa, he has played with me,' she immediately said, 'No, I won't say hi.' I could not understand why. Maybe in school there were conversations about it,' he said. 'We tried explaining but she still would not talk to him. The next day during the legends tournament we explained that he was like our elder brother. I don't think Bhajji pa did that deliberately. It happened in the heat of the moment. It was a learning experience for both of us,' he further added. Even Harbhajan has spoken about the incident in the past. He publicly revealed that he had apologised to her multiple times, but she hasn't forgiven him yet for slapping her father.

Jagapathi Babu hits back at criticism of ‘boring' Telugu cinema ruined by nepotism: ‘Don't watch it then'
Tollywood actor Jagapathi Babu uploaded a video called Preminchukundham Randi (let us love) on YouTube in which he addressed fan queries and comments on his life, career and Tollywood. When a fan commented that Telugu cinema was 'boring' and that nepotism in the industry was hindering new talent from succeeding, here's how he responded. Jagapathi Babu uploaded a video titled Preminchukundham Randi in which he addressed fan questions and comments. Jagapathi Babu on Telugu cinema being 'boring' and nepotism Jagapathi read the comment out loud and stated that he does not agree with either statement made by the fan. He said, 'If Telugu cinema is boring, don't watch it then.' The actor then addressed the nepotism comment, talking of how being producer-director VB Rajendra Prasad opened doors for him, but he had to struggle to sustain. He said, 'It's not true that nepotism is stopping new talent from entering the film industry. You see so many new actors thriving on OTT and in small films today, and how some kids from film families don't succeed. Take me for example, I am from a film family, and it did not help me with anything other than to enter the industry. I have to struggle to sustain myself.' Tollywood's biggest stars hail from film families like Konidela, Allu, Akkineni, Ghattamaneni, Daggubati, and more. While actors like the late NTR, ANR, Krishna, or Chiranjeevi were pioneers in films, their children and other family members have followed in their footsteps to become the film industry's biggest stars today. About Jagapathi Babu Jagapathi has worked primarily in Telugu films but also in a few Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, and Hindi films. He debuted as a lead with the 1989 film Simha Swapnam and tasted success in the 1990s and early 2000s. After seeing the lead roles dry up, he turned to playing antagonist roles, starring in the 2014 Balakrishna-starrer Legend. He has had a second innings in cinema since then. Last seen in Pushpa 2: The Rule, Jagapathi will soon star in Peddi with Ram Charan.
