2025 Golden Globes
A night of surprises and drama…
The Golden Globes kicked off the 2025 award season with all the drama and star power we could’ve asked for! Host Nikki Glaser understood the assignment - roasting celebs in attendance left and right and awkward presenter bits (ahem, Mindy Kaling and Kate Hudson), while Demi Moore finally took home her first ever win after decades in the industry.
What were the best moments? Which moments made us cringe? With predictions of how the Oscars are going to go, it’s clear that the drama is only just the beginning.
2nd Gen K-pop Reunion
2NE1 & BIGBANG are back 🎤
Two groups which played a pivotal role in shaping the global K-pop scene in the late 2000s are coming back! They’ve reunited for tours and special performances, so make sure you keep an eye out!
This reunion marks a major moment, with many wondering if this will ignite a full on second-gen renaissance. BIGBANG’s comeback and 2NE1’s reunion tour on the horizon is a reminder of the lasting impact these idols have had and will continue to have on the industry!
Tiktok Panic
RedNote (小红书) goes viral 🚨
The looming threat of a TikTok ban in the U.S means a new contender has emerged! Chinese platform, RedNote is sending shock waves through the western social media landscape at the moment. From influencers to casual users, everyone is scrambling to download the app!
Is RedNote poised to replace TikTok? Or is this just a blip in this ever-evolving digital world? This is leaving us all wondering what the next era of content sharing is going to look like.
AI-Generated Content
Content that even has us tech savvy girls FOOLED!
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has officially entered the chat… in a very big way. More content than ever is being generated by AI tools and it’s more convincing than we could have ever imagined. From hyper-realistic AI-generated pictures and videos, even the most tech savvy are starting to question what’s real.
