Ed Sheeran unveils new song with Rupert Grint in matching outfit
The short clip begins with Sheeran singing along to the unreleased track, only for the camera to flip dramatically to Grint, equally committed to the performance. The lyrics alone hint at a far more bitter tone than Sheeran's usual heartfelt fare: 'And one day we'll all be dead / But between now and then / I never want to see you again / I used to love you / Now every day I hate you just a little more.'
The post, captioned 'I like this song – The real Ed Sheeran,' offers no further details, no song title, no confirmation of a music video, and no explanation for Grint's involvement. But the dramatic pairing and coordinated outfits suggest something visual is on the way, possibly a full-fledged collaboration for the track's official video.
Fans are also speculating this could be part of Sheeran's upcoming album PLAY, slated for release on September 12. The project already includes singles 'Azizam' and 'Sapphire', and Sheeran recently confirmed he contributed an original track to the Zootopia 2 soundtrack alongside Shakira.
Online reaction has been a mix of amusement and intrigue. Some fans praised the humour, while others were drawn to the song's brutal honesty. One comment read, 'This is the pettiest Ed has ever been and I love it.' Whether the track is a diss, a story, or a real-life heartbreak anthem, it's clear Sheeran's not holding back this era.

Carrie Underwood goes back to her roots with natural hair after 30 years
Carrie Underwood has shocked fans with a subtle but deeply personal transformation, returning to her natural hair colour after three decades of being a blonde. The country music superstar and American Idol judge debuted a brownish blonde shade on August 4, sharing the look on Instagram with the caption, 'Well, the last time I saw my natural hair color, I was probably about 12 years old, but I thought it might be time to give it a second chance.' She also thanked her Nashville-based colourist, Katelin August, for helping her 'get back to her roots,' adding the hashtag #NewOldMe. The 42-year-old has been known for her golden locks since she shot to fame in 2005 as the winner of American Idol, and her blonde hair has long been a defining feature of her public image. In past interviews, she's expressed hesitation about switching it up, fearing that fans might interpret a darker look as a dramatic change in her personality. 'I don't want people to think I'm turning dark and serious,' she said in a 2012 interview with Refinery29. Despite her reservations, Carrie had always harboured the desire to experiment more with hair colour and styles. Reflecting on her Idol days in a 2013 interview, she recalled having 'a lot of big hair' for the first time, thanks to professional styling. 'I like big hair,' she admitted, 'but I wouldn't go back there again.' Motherhood also played a role in her approach to beauty. After becoming a mum to sons Isaiah and Jacob, she traded hair extensions for a more manageable cut, explaining that time was better spent with her kids than under a blow dryer. The new hair reveals a softer, more grounded side of Underwood, one that embraces change without needing to make a spectacle of it.

Influencer breaks spine attempting viral ‘stiletto challenge' inspired by Nicki Minaj music video
Russian influencer Mariana Barutkina has sustained a serious spinal injury after attempting the viral 'stiletto challenge', a trend inspired by Nicki Minaj's pose in the High School music video. The 32-year-old, just eight weeks postpartum, attempted the challenge at home, balancing in stilettos on a jar of baby food placed on a saucepan atop a kitchen counter. The original pose features Minaj crouching next to a swimming pool with one leg crossed over the other while wearing stilettos. The difficult balancing act has inspired many to attempt recreations online. Footage of the fall quickly went viral, showing the influencer lose her balance and fall backwards off the counter. She was later diagnosed with a compression flexion fracture in her spine. 'I decided to start a blog, my first content shoot — and here I am leaving the doctor's with a diagnosis,' she wrote on Instagram. 'Irony? Karma? Or just life, which always tests our strength at the most unexpected moment.' The incident has sparked criticism online, with users questioning her judgement. Others expressed concern for her child, prompting Barutkina to clarify: 'Whoever worries about my child should also be calm, he has two nannies and while I was filming one of them was with him.' Some supporters wished her well, while others suggested her fall marked the end of the trend.

Police raid Neon's livestream with Iggy Azalea after swatting and illegal gambling allegations
A livestream hosted by controversial internet personality Rangesh 'N3on' Mutama, better known as Neon, was abruptly interrupted on August 4, 2025, after a reported swatting incident led police to raid the show mid-broadcast. Australian rapper Iggy Azalea was a guest on the stream, which aired on Kick. Clips circulating online show uniformed officers entering the set as the broadcast continued live. Several individuals were reportedly detained at the scene amid accusations of illegal gambling activities occurring during the show. However, whether these allegations are valid or part of the swatting hoax remains unclear. Multiple people were arrested on Neon's stream with Iggy Azalea after they were swatted over suspected illegal gambling 👀 — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) August 4, 2025 Swatting is the act of falsely reporting an emergency to provoke an armed police response — a serious federal crime that has affected numerous streamers. In this case, the tip-off allegedly included claims of unlicensed gambling taking place live. While Neon has a history of online controversy — including a prior swatting incident in 2024 and an arrest in Dubai — this latest disruption highlights rising tensions between livestreaming and public safety. Among the guests on the stream was Iggy Azalea, who has recently ventured into livestreaming and cryptocurrency-related content. Although she appeared on camera during the police entry, there is no suggestion that Azalea was involved in or aware of any wrongdoing. The earliest report of the incident surfaced via a post from user FearedBuck, who wrote, 'Several were detained during Neon's stream with Iggy Azalea after they were swatted due to suspected illegal gambling.' That quote has since spread widely across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, often without attribution or verification. As the footage continues to trend, law enforcement has not released an official statement. Until more reliable reporting emerges, speculation around arrests or confirmed gambling activity remains unverified.
