After viral Labubu dolls, other accessories like Labubu bongs and outfits take over the market amid demonic Pazuzu allegations
The viral Labubu pipeline: From dolls to… bongs?
The obsession began with the viral Labubu bag charms. From fashion girls to stoner boys, everyone wanted one. Suddenly, reels were flooded with 'Labubu girl' energy, makeup looks inspired by the character, and #LabubuCheck haul videos. It was quirky, it was niche… until it was not.
Now, the rabbit hole has deepened. Enter Labubu bongs, actual smoking devices shaped like this once-wholesome creature. And let us not even get started on the limited edition T-shirts where Labubu is literally attached as a plushie charm. It is not just merch anymore. It is a lifestyle.
Internet's mixed reactions: Cute, cursed, or cult?
While die-hard fans are screaming 'take my money,' others are begging the trend to stop. 'It went from kawaii to cursed real fast,' one user commented on a viral unboxing video of a Labubu bong. Another simply said, 'Labubu used to bring me joy. Now he haunts my dreams.'
Even fashion influencers are styling full looks around Labubu now—oversized graphic tees, backpacks, phone charms, and yes, accessories for the bongs. Who needs a boyfriend when you have a full Labubu collection, apparently?
Is this the peak or just the beginning?
As Labubu dominates the alt-aesthetic corners of the internet, it begs the question, how far will this go? Are we getting Labubu crocs next? A Labubu-themed café? A Netflix horror-comedy spin-off? Nothing seems off-limits anymore in this timeline.
But for now, brace yourselves. The Labubu wave is not crashing anytime soon, it is evolving, mutating, and infiltrating every inch of this generations culture. Welcome to the Labubu multiverse, you are either obsessed… or completely baffled.

Difference between William & Harry is that one has Kate to soothe his mental anguish, while Meghan rubs salt…
According to reports published in Daily Mail, the difference between William and Harry is that one has Kate to soothe his mental anguish, while the younger of the two brothers has Meghan to rub salt into his wounds. read more Difference between William & Harry is that one has Kate to soothe his mental anguish, while Meghan rubs salt… The Prince of Wales is just as scarred as Prince Harry is. As per report, the way Kate handles the situation is way different from Meghan. British writer A. N. Wilson told Daily Mirror that 'fractured dynasties do not survive'. He said, 'It would be infinitely better if Harry and Meghan were inside the tent rather than on the outside causing mayhem.' As per A. N. Wilson, William like his late grandmother, he does understand how to marshal his emotions. Instead of indulging his pain, feeding off it even, as Harry has done, he seems to have mastered it, channeling it into his royal roles and his family. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Kate is William's strength Unlike , Kate has always been William's strength. While the Duchess of Sussex seems to have had the opposite effect on Prince Harry. Instead of helping him heal his emotional wounds, she seems to have re-opened them – or even rubbed salt in them, some might say. And that obviously the whole world knew, the way she created distance between Harry and the British Royal family. Even in the Netflix's show, the way she instigated to talk ill about the royal family members is very disheartening. In fact, Meghan literally brought out all the dark secrets of the royal family for her own fame. The British author rightly said to Daily Mail, 'Instead of encouraging him to shape his own identity within the Royal Family, she has helped him turn his back on it. Which might have been fine if together they had embarked on something truly life-affirming. But they didn't.' (With inputs from Daily Mail and agencies)

Cameron Diaz to star in action comedy Bad Day
Washington DC [US], July 16 (ANI): Cameron Diaz, who, after a near-decade hiatus, made a return to acting this year with Netflix's hit 'Back in Action', is all set to be seen in 'Bad Day', an action comedy to be directed by Jake Szymanski, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Beau Bauman is producing with his Good One Productions. Laura Solon wrote the original story, which revolves around a single mother struggling to make one small promise to her daughter on the worst day of her life. The project has been described as a comical version of Joel Schumacher's 1993 drama Falling Down, in which Michael Douglas plays a man who reaches his breaking point while rushing to go to his daughter's birthday party," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Diaz is one of Hollywood's most bankable big-screen actresses. She took a hiatus in 2014, having appeared in films ranging from Something About Mary and The Holiday to Bad Teacher and Shrek, as per the outlet. After focusing on motherhood and taking a decade-long break from her acting career, Cameron Diaz has returned to the screens with the action-comedy film 'Back In Action'. "How do you say 'No' to Jamie Foxx?" said Diaz, adding, "If there's anyone I'm going to go back and spend months on end on set having a ball and laughing with, it would be Jamie," reported People. 'Back in Action' tells the story of two former CIA spies, Emily (Cameron Diaz) and Matt (Jamie Foxx), who left their careers to start a family. However, their peaceful life is interrupted when their secret identities are exposed, pulling them back into the dangerous world of espionage. It is also the most-watched original streaming movie of the year so far, with 5.26 billion minutes viewed, and the third-most-watched movie on any streaming platform, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Nicole Scherzinger Calls Late Actor Liam Payne A ‘Beautiful Soul'
Remembering their moments together, Nicole described Liam as 'a beautiful, kind soul and heart.' Nicole Scherzinger recently reflected on her time working with Liam Payne on Netflix's new show Building the Band. Remembering their moments together, Nicole described Liam as 'a beautiful, kind soul and heart." The former One Direction member tragically passed away last year at the age of 31 following an accident in Argentina. Nicole shared that the team is incredibly proud of everything Liam accomplished, and the show is now dedicated to his memory. She also added that working with him was a joy, and she's grateful that audiences will get to see him shine through the series. While appearing on The Seth Meyers Show, Nicole said, 'We've dedicated the show to Liam. We're so proud of him. He had such an amazing time. We had so much fun doing the show together, and he's such a beautiful, kind soul and heart. We would have never continued to, you know, share the show unless we had his family's blessings and they were actually there in the process with it while we filmed it. We're just really proud of him, and I'm excited for everyone to see Liam shine, and it's really cool." 'We've come full circle. I mean, especially with Liam and I from X Factor to One Direction and he's walked this path. So, he's the perfect person to be able to help people in this way, to be able to give back, and he loved it. He really believed in the bands in the show," Nicole Scherzinger added. Back in 2022, an old video from 2010 resurfaced online, revealing that Nicole Scherzinger played a key role in forming One Direction during The X Factor. For years, many believed Simon Cowell was solely responsible for creating the group, but the behind-the-scenes clip told a different story. Speaking about it later on the talk show, Sherri, as reported by People, Nicole admitted she was surprised the video even emerged. She joked that she thought it had been deleted or would never see the light of day. Nicole also pointed out that the footage clearly shows her helping to bring the boys together as a group. Nicole shared that she was glad the old video finally came to light, as it captured the moment she helped bring the members of One Direction together. Having recently stepped away from her own girl group, the Pussycat Dolls, she understood firsthand the power and potential of a successful music group. That experience gave her the insight to recognise the value of uniting individual talents. She added that it felt meaningful and rewarding to be part of One Direction's journey from the very beginning. Building The Band is hosted by The Backstreet Boys star AJ McLean, while the judging panel includes Nicole Scherzinger, Kelly Rowland and late Liam Payne. The show is now available to watch on Netflix. First Published: July 16, 2025, 12:47 IST News movies » hollywood » Nicole Scherzinger Calls Late Actor Liam Payne A 'Beautiful Soul'
