Tyra Banks' love for Australia
In an interview with the Daily Mail, Banks revealed that she loves Sydney's charm and relaxed vibe, while unveiling her ice cream shop 'SMiZE & DREAM.' 'I was coming for about a year and a half and just fell in love with it,' she said. 'And I said, should we make this move? And here we are,' she said.
'I love Darling Harbour because of this park. Tumbalong Park is magical,' she said, before adding that even before she opened a shop here, she and her family would spend weekends over there.
'I have friends that live an hour and a half away, and on the weekends. They drive here just to go to the water and put their feet in with the kids,' she further continued, and expressed that there's a playground nearby for older and younger kids.
Tyra Banks' favourite ice cream flavour...
About Tyra's ice cream brand, she said it feels personal. When asked about her favourite scoop, she said while laughing, 'My favourite flavour is called Tyra's Favourite – very creative, isn't it?' The flavour is salted sweet cream with butter-roasted pecans and a thick, savoury caramel butter swirl.
'It's not your traditional ice cream taste – it has this surprising, rich sensation in the mouth,' she continued. Furthermore, she also dropped the crumbs about a potential collaboration with her fellow Australian friend. The friend is famous, and Banks is excited that she is interested in doing something with her.
Tyra Banks wants to encourage women...
Tyra hopes to achieve big, beyond her ice cream brand. She said that she wants to encourage women to reinvent themselves irrespective of their age. 'But we have to know our stuff. Unfortunately, women, we have to be better. We have to be smarter. We have to know more,' she said, before adding, 'Just go deep, study hard, walk into that room head held high. You're going to hear 'no's – but one day you're going to get that 'yes'.
And you just have to be ready for it.'

The Mercedes driver treated fans to a special photo from his get-together with McLaren's Oscar Piastri and former F1 star Daniel Ricciardo, unveiling the latter's surprising new look that left fans in shock. Fans of Ricciardo couldn't get over his bearded look and wondered what he had been up to since his retirement.

Russell shared a photo of the group on Instagram, captioned with three Australian flag emojis and one Great Britain flag emoji. While Russell is British, the other three are Australian. But it was Ricciardo's bearded look that stole the show. Having retired from Formula 1 last year, Ricciardo has kept a relatively low profile since his departure.

This film earned Rs 500 crore but was still called a flop, lead actors were..., movie name is...
Makers spend crores of rupees on making a film. There are many Hollywood films whose budget is more than Rs 1000 crore. At the same time, the makers also try their best to earn twice as much from the box office. But many times their bet backfires, and the film is not able to earn, let alone recover its budget. Today, we will tell you about one such film, which was made in Rs 1300 crore. The world's biggest flop film This film is considered one of the biggest flops in the world. The producers spent Rs 1300 crore on this film. But even after being a flop, it made a big record. John McTiernan directed this film in the year 1999. The name of this American historical fiction film is The 13th Warrior. In which Antonio Banderas played the role of Ahmed Ibn Fadlan. Diane Venora and Omar Sharif also worked in the film. Starred a Muslim actor in the lead role This film was based on Michael Crichton's 1976 novel 'Eaters of the Dead'. At the same time, the story of Ahmed Ibn Fadlan (a Baghdadi traveler) was shown in it. However, despite being a flop, the film made a big record. The record of the film was that for the first time a Muslim actor was presented as a hero in a Hollywood film. The 13th Warrior not only flopped at the box office, but the film also had to face a lot of criticism. This film was made in 160 million dollars i.e. Rs 1300 crore. However, it was successful in doing business of only 61 million dollars i.e., Rs 511 crores from all over the world. That is, if we look at the total budget, the film had to suffer a loss of hundreds of crores. When this film flopped at the box office, a critic said that now no one in Hollywood will make the mistake of making a film based on a Muslim hero. This loss was quite big.

Sunjay Kapur died at 53 from a heart attack during a polo match in England. He is survived by his wife Priya Sachdev and three children - Samaira Kapoor, Kiaan Kapoor and Safira. Prominent Indian-American businessman Sunjay Kapur, known for his leadership as chairman of Sona Comstar and his high-profile marriage to Bollywood actress Karisma Kapoor, passed away on June 12, 2025, at the age of 53. The industrialist suffered a fatal heart attack during a polo match at Guards Polo Club in Windsor, England. Reports indicate that Sunjay accidentally swallowed a bee, which may have triggered an allergic reaction, leading to the heart attack. Sunjay's sudden demise has shocked business and social circles, with tributes pouring in for his contributions to the automotive industry and his passion for polo. His funeral took place on June 19, 2025, at Lodhi Road Cremation Ground in New Delhi, delayed due to legal formalities related to his US citizenship. Sunjay Kapur is survived by his wife, Priya Sachdev Kapur, a Delhi-based model-turned-entrepreneur, whom he married in 2017. The couple shared a son, Azarias Kapur, born in December 2018, now aged 6. Priya, visibly devastated at the funeral, had previously shared heartfelt glimpses of their family life and their close-knit bond on social media. Sunjay is also survived by his two children from his marriage to Karisma Kapoor (2003–2016): Samaira Kapur, aged 20 (born March 11, 2005), a student with aspirations in filmmaking, and Kiaan Raj Kapur, aged 14 (born March 12, 2011), a student. Both reside primarily in Mumbai with their mother, who retained custody post-divorce. Samaira and Kiaan share a warm bond with their half-sibling Azarias and Priya's daughter from her previous marriage, Safira Chatwal, whom Sunjay adopted as a stepchild. Samaira and Kiaan maintain a warm bond with their half-siblings, Azarias and Safira, as one can tell from the family photos shared by Priya Sachdev on Instagram, including celebrations like Raksha Bandhan and Diwali. Samaira celebrated her 18th birthday in 2023 with both parents and Priya's family present. Sunjay described her as his 'first love" in a heartfelt post on X. 'A father holds his daughter's hand for a short while, but he holds her heart forever. Happy 18th birthday to my first love, Samaira. Welcome to adulthood. Remember to be responsible and live your life to the fullest. You are beautiful inside out. And we are all so proud of you," he had posted.

Seeing you grow into the young man you are today has been one of life's great joys. Stay curious, stay kind, and keep chasing your dreams. Proud to be your dad. I'll always be in your corner," he had written. Safira is Priya Sachdev's daughter from her marriage to Vikram Chatwal (2006–2011), an American hotelier known for a lavish Rs 100 crore wedding.
