‘This could've been our last meal': Car crashes through Texas restaurant as YouTubers Patrick Blackwood, NinaUnrated film burger review
Two popular food YouTubers narrowly escaped a tragedy in Texas after a car came crashing into the restaurant where they were filming a burger review. Patrick Blackwood, a Czech Bowl Champion, and Nina Santiago, better known online as NinaUnrated, had just sat down at CuVee's Culinary Creations in Houston to record a burger review when the vehicle came crashing through the glass wall beside them. Food reviewers NinaUnrated and Patrick Blackwood were involved in a crash while filming. — Pop Crave (@PopCrave) August 18, 2025 Both were left injured. Photos shared by Nina on Instagram showed cuts and bruises on their face, arms, and chest. She recalled the terrifying moment in her caption: 'I'm beyond grateful to be alive after an SUV crashed through the wall at @cuveesculinarycreations in Houston, TX, shattering everything while @iampatrickblackwood and I recorded an eating show.' Nina described how she had just bitten into a salmon slider when the SUV struck: 'It hit us directly, me on his left, him on my right, as I bit into a delicious salmon slider. Out of nowhere, but we survived.' A post shared by @NINAUNRATED (@ninaunrated) The cause of the crash remains unclear, with authorities yet to confirm who was behind the wheel. In the meantime, Nina used her post to reflect on how the near-death experience shifted her perspective: 'This experience showed me who truly matters; life's too short for grudges or anger. Let go, forgive, live in the now, and cherish those around you—this could've been our last meal.' She also credited a higher power and her late dog, writing, 'Thankful to the universe and our angel pup Loyal, who passed in Nov 2024 and protected us from above.' The crash video has gone viral on social media platforms, and netizens took to the comments to share their views on it. Many came in defence of the couple, while many others called it staged. A user wrote, 'This is like the end of the final destination movies when the characters think they cheated death and then some crazy shit happens at the end as the credits roll.' Another user commented, 'It's a miracle they got away mostly unscathed. It could have easily killed both of them. It slammed right into where they were sitting.' A third person commented, 'I really hope this isn't staged, cos crazy what people do for content these days.'

120 crew members of Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar hospitalised after suffering from food poisoning in Ladakh
Ranveer Singh's highly-anticipated film Dhurandhar has faced an unexpected setback. According to a report in ANI, several crew members of a film suffered from food poisoning during shooting in Ladakh. Over 120 crew members were admitted to a hospital in Leh after falling ill. Multiple reports suggesting that the film in question is indeed Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar. As per the report, the incident occurred on Sunday, when the affected crew members were rushed to the SNM Hospital in Leh. 'Our doctors were called in for the emergency as the patient rush was very high. By the end of the day, we had about 120 admissions. The situation was handled well, and all of them have been treated,' the medical superintendent at SNM Hospital told ANI. She further revealed that while most patients are now in a stable condition and have been discharged, five remain under observation. The official also confirmed that there were no casualties. 'Some came with severe dehydration, while others had pain in the abdomen, vomiting, acute gastroenteritis, and headache. We received much help from the district administration, and we managed to transfer a few patients to manage the treatment and for crowd management,' she added. The medical superintendent confirmed to the website that the patients were part of a Bollywood film's crew shooting in the area. 'This happened on the film's sets. They apparently had the food arranged on the sets and developed diarrhoea and vomiting. Food samples have been sent for examination, and the final reports are pending,' she said. While reports claim that the incident happened on the sets of Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar, the makers are yet to officially confirm the same. Dhurandhar is written, directed, and produced by Aditya Dhar, who earlier helmed Vicky Kaushal's blockbuster Uri. The film boasts an ensemble cast including Sanjay Dutt, Akshaye Khanna, R. Madhavan, and Arjun Rampal. Earlier, the makers released the first look of the film, featuring a bulked-up Ranveer in long hair and beard, sporting a fierce look. The film is produced by Jyoti Deshpande and Lokesh Dhara and is scheduled to release on December 5, 2025.

Will Smith's daughter Willow performs Janmashtami aarti, debuts new track Govinda Nights; offers a glimpse into her spiritual journey
Willow Smith, daughter of Hollywood A-listers Will Smith and Jada Pinkett, recently took to Instagram to celebrate her feature on Govinda Nights. Released on Janmashtami by artist Londrelle, the track is now streaming on Apple Music and Spotify. Alongside a string of photos capturing the moment, Willow shared a heartfelt caption expressing her gratitude. Willow, a practicing Hindu who has openly shared her spiritual journey on social media, is an American singer and actor like her parents. The photos show her fully immersed in the spiritual atmosphere, performing aarti at ISKCON, with a scarf over her head and Vaishnav tika on her forehead, following traditional Hindu rituals. Also read: Will Smith's daughter Willow on his Oscars slap incident: 'I accept my family for their humanness' One slide captures her chanting bag alongside a guitar, hinting at her journey of blending devotional practice with contemporary music. In another, she poses in front of a Radha-Krishna image. Willow also shares her thoughts on sound and spirituality, describing the 'signature patterns of vibration' in one slide, while another captures a live bhajan session. The final slide reveals the cover of the Govinda Nights album. ' 🌕 OUT NOW !! THANK YOU @londrelle FOR FEATURING ME ON THIS MUSICAL OFFERING !! MY GRATITUDE IS INFINITE 🌀HAPPY JANMASTAMI,' she captioned the post. A post shared by ∴ W ∴ (@willowsmith) Govinda Nights continues Willow's journey in spiritual music, following her collaborations with Jahnavi Harrison on Sanskrit mantras. The duo previously teamed up for the EP R I S E and the single Surrender (Krishna Keshava) after meeting at a Kirtan event hosted by Jay Shetty. While Willow follows Hinduism, her father, Will Smith, stated in a 2013 interview that he prefers not to be associated with any religious group. Her mother, Jada Pinkett, had expressed interest in the general teachings of Scientology. In her book, she wrote, 'I was very clear when I stepped into the Church of Scientology that becoming a member would not be possible, nor was it my goal,' adding that she appreciated the Basic Study Manual while homeschooling her kids, Jaden and Willow Smith.

Staring into the distance, she paired the photo with an explicit caption. Some saw it as a joke, but many questioned her well-being. The post also reignited conversations about her sexuality. She came out as bisexual in 2019 and revealed in 2021 that she is polyamorous, open to more than one relationship. On Red Table Talk, she said she would likely limit herself to two partners and avoid traditional marriage, calling it restrictive for women. Earlier this year, on Instagram Live, she shared that watching animals taught her new ways of connecting, beyond human-imposed gender roles.
