Squid Game Season 3 Original Ending
🚨MASSIVE 🚨 Spoilers follow for the end of Squid Game. The third and final season of the Netflix global smash Squid Game hit the streaming service this weekend — and there's a good chance you've already watched the whole thing, up until the shocking conclusion. Brief refresher, in case you somehow already forgot: In the final episode, the show's protagonist Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) decides to kill himself, effectively making the newborn daughter of Players 222 and 333 the winner of the competition — and, as the Front Man takes her to safety, the 45.6 billion won prize. Well, in a new interview with Variety, the show's creator Hwang Dong-hyuk says that the series almost ended way differently — and in much more shocking fashion, too. 'When I had a vague idea about what kind of story I wanted to tell through Seasons 2 and 3, I actually had a different ending in mind,' he said. 'And then as I went through the writing process, as I created my characters, as I laid out the foundation and the outline of the story, and as I drew out the map for Gi-hun's character arc, I realized, this shouldn't be the way this story ends — and this is a better ending, or the right ending, for this arc." "And so there was actually a very drastic change in the ending compared to when I just had only a vague idea about the story, and then when I really got into the writing process.' 'In the finale, Gi-hun makes a choice," Hwang added, "and originally, when I was just thinking about where the story was going to take me, it was actually the exact opposite choice.' Yikes. Does that going to kill a baby? Wild stuff, if so. You can read the rest of the interview right here.

Meghan Markle rocks leg-lengthening mini shorts in stunning beach photo
The Duchess of Sussex solidified her style credentials at the weekend as she shared a stunning snapshot of herself running along the beach. The joyful image, which was shared to Instagram on Saturday, showed the former Suits actress looking ultra-chic in a monochromatic linen get-up comprising a pair of leg-lengthening mini shorts in white, an oversized, cream linen shirt and a pair of tan leather sandals. Meghan, 43, spruced up her beachy look with a wide-brim straw hat, dark sunglasses and a cluster of golden bangles. She had her raven locks swept away from her face, and appeared in her element as she strode away from the shoreline with a huge smile on her face. "That weekend feeling," she penned in her caption alongside the sun and musical note emojis. Over on her official As Ever Instagram page, meanwhile, the mother-of-two shared a glimpse inside her wholesome weekend plans. In a nod to her passion for foraging, the Duchess uploaded a picture of herself picking ripe fruit from a tree in her garden. Embracing the sunshine, Meghan could be seen wearing a simple white blouse and a straw hat embossed with the letter 'M'. In her caption, she wrote: "Weekend plans: pick, snack, repeat." Meghan launched her lifestyle brand earlier this year following the release of her Netflix show titled With Love, Meghan. As part of her brand's soft launch, the Duchess reportedly sent 50 jars of jam to the likes of fashion designer Tracy Robbins and polo player Nacho Figueras' wife Delfina Blaquier. A tagline on her brand's website reads: "What began with a small pot of fresh fruit preserves, bubbling away in my home kitchen, has inspired this curated collection to bring surprise and delight to your every day." Following the success of her initial product launches, Meghan has recently added an array of new items, including an apricot spread, honey and a rosé wine which is set for release on 1 July. "With soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality and a lasting finish, this bespoke blend is launching just in time for summer entertaining," a description for the rosé reads. In her recent podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder, Meghan hinted that As Ever's direction would defy traditional marketing tactics often seen in luxury circles, including the now-commonplace "scarcity drop" approach. "I want to move away from that scarcity mentality," she explained. "I don't want you to eat that jam once every six months. I want that to be on your shelf all the time."
