Dua Lipa was left baffled during a promotional interview for her new song, when the interviewer got Houdini mixed up with someone from the Bible. Appearing on Italian radio station RDS, the singer was asked whether she was asked if she had ever 'read the biblical story'. “Well, I mean, Houdini was a real person", she awkwardly responded. Quickly moving on from the situation, she described how she was 'always very fascinated by magic, fantasy, and how that can be brought into reality'. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter

JLS's Aston Merrygold is known for his famous backflip move when performing on stage with his bandmates, but fans were reminded how dangerous the stunt can be when it went wrong and he took a tumble recently. While on stage at Sheffield's Utilita Arena for the band's final show of their 2023 tour, Merrygold could be seen with his fellow bandmates, Marvin Humes, JB Gill and Ortisé Williams as he stood on an extra step to gain some height and momentum for the signature move. However, he appeared to misjudge the flip as he instead slipped causing him to fall and land on his back. Though proving his professionalism, Merrygold immediately styled it out with a backwards floor roll and got up to join his bandmates again to continue the choreography as the band sang their song 'Hottest Girl in the World'. Since then, Merrygold has been getting roasted on social media with people dubbing him as "Aston Merryfold" and "Aston Merryold" while fans have praised how he recovered like a pro but were concerned about whether he was hurt from the tumble. One person wrote: "In 15 years, I have never seen him fall over." "He could have really damaged his spine - hope he’s ok," another person said. Someone else added: "The way he just got up and continued absolute pro, I'd of been sitting there thinking what just happened, could have been so much worse." "Mistakes/accidents happen sometimes it’s normal!!! He did well to continue, I would have died inside/ walked off he’s amazing. Hope he’s ok," a fourth person commented. @sabs1951 Aston Merrygold back flip fail at convert.

The on-screen text read "Them: 'Aston, my friend said you fell last night'," as the JLS band member mimed the following audio from the 2015 film Legend. "Right listen, when you see him next, you tell him from me... F**k Charlie, f**k his brother, yeah. "And f**k that fat Georgie Cornell that hangs out with him. F**k your face.

Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker welcomed their first baby together after the birth of their son on 4 November. 44-year-old Kardashian gave birth in Los Angeles and reportedly has a strict “invite-only” policy in place for people wanting to meet her newborn. Since his arrival, Blink 182 drummer Barker has shared clips from the hospital on his TikTok, revealing that he was practising drumming along to the baby’s heartbeat. Barker shared a 1 minute and 13-second long video on TikTok, captioned, “Practicing to my babies heartbeat”. In the video, he played on a snare drum practice pad next to Kourtney while in the background, his baby’s heartbeat could be heard coming from a nearby monitor. The clip has been viewed over 990,000 times and in the comments, people were baffled by his decision to bring drumming equipment to a medical facility and were equally in awe of Kardashian’s patience. @travisbarker Practicing to my babies heartbeat 🥁 One person commented: “He had to BRING that to the doctor’s office.” Another wrote: “I love Travis, but this would seriously test my patience.” “She’s a better woman than me,” someone else added. One TikToker added: “This is too much.” Fortunately for Barker, it appeared Kardashian herself was filming the clip, so she can’t have minded too much. The birth of the couple’s baby boy came days after Barker revealed in a podcast that his name was going to be “Rocky”. Speaking on the One Life One Chance podcast, the drummer was talking about upcoming work when he let slip: “There's a benefit for Hawaii that we were going to do, but it’s the week that Rocky’s due.” How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Sign up to our free indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

A young boy has won a solid gold Prime bottle worth an incredible $400k after successfully entering a competition held by KSI and Logan Paul. The young lad won after successfully guessing the code to a special locked bottle of the drink in London. It comes after KSI and Paul launched a giveaway for one of two gold bars that had been crafted into the shape of their energy drink – one in London and one in New York. Announcing the competition on Instagram, the pair said: "The golden Prime will be encased in bulletproof glass. "To get to it you must correctly guess a six-digit code. Each person only has one guess and only 20 seconds to make that guess.” They added: "If the code is not guessed correctly within 48 hours, the torches inside the case will ignite. "And the gold prime bottle will be incinerated completely - worth absolutely nothing.” They also explained that the items had been made by the former NASA engineer Mark Rober”. The competition was launched to mark the sale of one billion Prime bottles across the world, as the pair celebrated the remarkable success of the energy drink. Thousands tried across both locations, but it was a young load in a Pinewood FC shirt that managed to guess the right code. The winning moment saw him type in the right numbers, setting off the confetti and smiling as he held the prize. The other prize in New York was subsequently melted down, ensuring there was only one winner. The pair then released a statement, saying: "We do everything BIG. Since we created PRIME, we’ve made our own blueprint when it came to marketing, scaling, and building the brand. "In a short period of time, we’ve become the fastest-growing beverage company in history, selling our one-billionth bottle in just year two,” they added. "We’re confident our fans will be pleasantly surprised when they visit our celebratory Gold Stores and see what a unique experience our team has built."

Taylor Swift fans were sent into overdrive after a clip surfaced online of the star kissing Travis Kelce. The new footage shows Swift waving at fans after her Argentina show before spotting her boyfriend in the crowd. She runs over to the NFL player, before hugging and kissing him. The crowd then erupts into cheers. The wholesome clip was soon shared to X/Twitter, with one writing: "The way she ran into his arms, you can tell she’s really in love." Another added: "She looks really happy, love that for her!" Meanwhile, one fan tweeted: "All of Taylor’s ex crying rn cause she’s never been this publicly in love with any of them before." Swift has been known to show her support at Kelce's games, too – and stats suggest she could very well be his lucky charm. During the Kansas City Chiefs' win over the Los Angeles Chargers last month, the broadcaster CBS shared a graphic titled 'You belong with TE,' referencing Swift's song 'You Belong With Me'. It then suggested that Kelce averaged 99 receiving yards per game, with it bumping up to 108 following Sunday's game. They then showed a separate post when Swift isn't in attendance at Kelce's game when he's "left to his own devices" – a reference to 'Anti-Hero' – with just 46.5 yards per game. It didn't take long for fans to catch onto the tongue-in-cheek remarks, with one writing: "Safe to say Taylor and Travis belong together." Another wrote: "The entire graphic, compliments to whoever cooked it up."

It has been confirmed by Variety that an Elon Musk biopic is in the works at A24, and it doesn't seem many people are excited. The announcement came yesterday from Puck, with Darren Aronofsky on board to direct the film. Aronofsky is known for directing films such as The Whale, Black Swan, and Requiem for a Dream. The basis for the screenplay will be based on Walter Isaacson's authorised biography of the Twitter/X CEO. Isaacson's book on Steve Jobs was previously adapted into a movie by Universal. Musk responded to the announcement saying: "Glad Darren is doing it. He is one of the best." But whilst Musk may be happy about the news, he seems like one of the only ones. Many joked to "bring back the strike", in reference to the recent end of the SAG-AFTRA strike. Another joked that the film was going to be a horror: One user gave their suggestion for a title: "How to Kill Twitter Without Really Trying". However, some felt hopeful that the portrayal of Musk would not be a favourable one: We'll just have to wait and see how the film turns out...

From Nicolas Cage to Jean-Claude Van Damme, plenty of Hollywood stars have performed on screen as fictionalized versions of themselves.

Dua Lipa played her new song 'Houdini' for the first time to a random member of the public on the street - and he didn't even recognise her. Richard was stopped outside the BBC building, when he was handed headphones and had a disco ball above him, as he got to jam out to the pop track with Dua herself. "Excellent, it would be impossible not to like it", he reviewed. "Really nice to meet you, I feel privileged if you're the real person." Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter

Someone else added: "This MIGHT be the worst thing that’s happened to me." "Trying to convince myself that that’s a doppelganger," a fourth person commented. Many have joked that Styles shaved his head in response to a recent Taylor Swift Vault track from 1989 (Taylor's Version) called 'Now That We Don't Talk.' As one line from the song goes: "You grew your hair long / You got new icons." Though there are some who are a fan of the buzz cut look on Styles. The buzz cut has certainly divided the fandom, but all would agree they are looking forward to seeing what Styles does next.

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes and their two children — son Patrick "Bronze" Lavon and daughter Sterling Skye are the faces of SKIMS annual Christmas pyjama campaign but the collaboration has sparked controversy amongst Taylor Swift fans. The campaign features the family in matching red and black pajamas with the theme of the launch being "family togetherness and holiday fun." While this is all well-meaning and a spot of festive cheer many have pointed out a potential conflict in Mahomes' future. SKIMS, which you might already know is owned by Kim Kardashian. Meanwhile, Mahomes has recently become besties with Taylor Swift, who is currently dating Patrick Mahomes' Kansas City Chiefs teammate Travis Kelce. What does all this mean? Well, let's go back to 2016 when Kardashian's ex-husband Kanye West released his song 'Famous' which contained a diss aimed at Swift. The 'Anti-Hero' singer was said to be unhappy with the lyrics but the rapped claimed that she approved them prior to the release only for her to deny it. Kardashian then went ahead and released a Snapchat video where Swift apparently agreed to the lyrics. The feud has gone on for years but most of the disagreement appears to now be between Swift and West with her and Kardashian appearing to now be on better terms. This though hasn't stopped speculating that there might be a potential awkward conflict on the horizon for Mahomes and Swift. Still, this is probably just fans reading a bit too much into a humble pyjama advert. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
