Poonam Pandey Defends Fake Death Stunt For Cervical Cancer Awareness Campaign
Last Updated: Poonam Pandey took the Internet by storm when her team announced that the actress had 'died' due to cervical cancer. Known for an unapologetic public persona, Poonam Pandey has long remained a polarising figure in the entertainment industry. Things took a dramatic turn last year when the model-turned-actress used social media to falsely announce her death – IYKYK. Poonam's stunt attracted massive attention from both netizens and celebrities, but it also triggered a wave of harsh criticism and backlash across social media. In an interview with Bollywood Bubble, Poonam explained her reasons for going to such extreme lengths for the campaign. When asked about the controversy, she stated it was all done to make people realise that cervical cancer is preventable if the right precautions are taken. 'People are calling me now saying, 'We hated you,' but people are taking vaccines now," Poonam said, adding that even her doctor friends praised the campaign as brilliant. 'People were not taking it seriously. Nobody was until they got to know about me. It was insane," she added. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bollywood Bubble Television (@bollywoodbubbletelly) Poonam Pandey took the Internet by storm when her team announced her 'death" on social media due to cervical cancer, highlighting her 'brave fight." After 24 hours, Poonam returned to her account to reveal the announcement was a hoax and expressed pride in the awareness it generated around cervical cancer. The stunt, however, was met with severe backlash, with netizens labelling it unethical and manipulative. Speaking about the criticism, she said, 'People came out, and they bluntly spoke shit about me. Jhoot toh sabhi bolte hai, apni daily life mein. At least 10 jhoot bolte honge, maine 1 bola, 1000-plus people were saved, aur tumko usme bhi problem hai." Discussing the campaign further, Poonam Pandey revealed that the idea came from an advertising agency named Schbang, and that she charged no money for participating in it, stating it was purely for the cause of cervical cancer awareness. 'I thought main koi achha kaam kar leti hoon. I would do something nice, but people crucified me," she noted. While some supporters argued that Poonam's bold stunt raised critical awareness and drew attention to the importance of HPV vaccination, others, including organisations like Gavi, criticised the campaign and called it ethically questionable.

Why Do People Cheat When Open Relationships Are an Option?
Thanks to a recent incident involving a certain concert, a rumored workplace affair, and brief moment of Jumbotron PDA (IYKYK), I, like many people, have been thinking a lot about cheating lately. Not on my own partner—I don't have one (DMs are open, boys), although I did think about cheating on the one that I had when I had him. Maybe that's part of the reason why I find it so surprising that public cheating scandals are even still a thing in our presumably progressive, sexually enlightened era. In an age of seemingly mainstream polyamory, how is cheating really still such scandal fodder? How is it still so shocking that people's sexual desires—and behaviors—don't always fit neatly within prescriptive social norms? On the other hand, it makes sense that all our sexual enlightenment may have only further soured attitudes toward infidelity. After all, in a time when various forms of ethical non-monogamy seem to be an increasingly accessible and acceptable option, why cheat when you can just have an open relationship? It's a good question, for sure. Why risk hurting someone you love—not to mention potentially blowing up your own life—when you could have a consensually non-monogamous relationship in which everyone gets what they want and no one gets hurt? All's fair in love and non-monogamy, right? As open relationships and other forms of non-monogamy increase in visibility and popularity, it makes sense that cheating would seem all the more tawdry and dated. It's sound logic, don't get me wrong. But there are a few issues with this assumption that ethical non-monogamy can be expected to function as some kind of modern antidote to infidelity. Let's unpack, shall we? Unfortunately, cheating is something that can happen in any relationship, however open it may be. Just like traditional relationships, non-monogamous partnerships function around a 'monogamy agreement,' or a set of expectations and boundaries each partner is expected to uphold. Any violation of that agreement could be considered cheating, says Tammy Nelson, PhD, author of Open Monogamy and When You're the One Who Cheats. Unlike monogamous partnerships, in which the whole 'We're not supposed to have sex with other people' thing is pretty universal, monogamy agreements and what it means to violate them may look very different from open relationship to open relationship. And even within those relationships, expectations may not be exactly the same for each partner. For example, one person might want to know when their partner has sex with someone else, while the other would rather be spared the details. 'Sometimes cheating in an open relationship can be as simple as going out for coffee with a new partner that is off limits, or an ex, or someone outside of the 'pod,'' says Nelson, adding that more partners can often create more complex dynamics. 'It can be complicated to get 'approval' from multiple partners if you are in a group relationship, and some people find it easier to break away and do what they want on their own.' Regardless, whether you're breaking a closed monogamy agreement or an open one, 'cheating is cheating,' says sex therapist Jamie Schenk DeWitt. 'The cheater, by definition, is not playing by the rules that have been established and agreed upon.' It may seem like everyone is opening up these days, but while non-monogamy is definitely becoming more mainstream, it's a long way from being the norm. 'Many folks don't want open relationships,' says Zachary Zane, author of Boyslut: A Memoir and Manifesto and a sex and relationships expert for Grindr. 'If your partner doesn't want one and you still want to be with them, then you're going to have to lie about having sex with others.' That doesn't excuse cheating, to be clear, but it does explain why it still happens in our seemingly sexually evolved timeline. Not to mention, the idea that you can just seamlessly convert a monogamous relationship into an open one to spare yourself the burden of infidelity is kind of a massive oversimplification of non-monogamous partnerships and the work that actually goes into maintaining them. Not everyone is cut out for that work, and some people simply don't want to do it. 'Open relationships take work,' says Zane. 'For many, it's just easier to cheat and lie about it.' Perhaps unsurprisingly, cheating in open relationships tends to happen for more or less the same reasons as good old-fashioned adultery. Your monogamy agreement—whatever it entails—isn't working for you anymore, and cheating seems easier than talking about it. Or maybe you know that whatever it is you want to do would be a hard no for your partner(s), so cheating feels like the only way to satisfy those desires without threatening your relationship. 'One thing that many cheaters have in common is that they don't want to confront issues or feelings that may be impacting the connection and health of their current partnership,' says DeWitt. 'They would rather avoid confrontation with their partner to get their needs met.' So we cheat, whether on one person or several, in a closed relationship or an open one. We cheat out of convenience or laziness or selfishness or any combination of factors. It may seem like open relationships are the key to finally being able to have our cake and eat it too, to cheat without cheating, to Have It All. But the reality is that open relationships are a compromise, just like anything else. For some, non-monogamy may be a way of reconciling otherwise conflicting desires, but not without its own complications. This is not to say that cheating is a better or even defensible option. But even as someone who now identifies as non-monogamous, I'd argue that the idea of using open relationships to avoid infidelity is one that oversimplifies non-monogamy and ignores some key, if uncomfortable, realities of human desire and behavior. 'I think there will always be cheaters,' says Sheff. 'I think it will lessen as people come to know ethical non-monogamy as an option. But the 'I want multiple partners and I don't want you to have them,' I think that's a permanent feature of the human psyche.'

Dr. Martens Adrian Loafer Is Made to Move in the Concrete Jungle
So fresh and full of finesse, that's the New York City style scene. Where prints and patterns run wild and shoes and silhouettes pack nearly as much personality as their owners – if not more – and no one blinks an eye because that's the way of the concrete jungle. There's no room to judge your neighbor for their fashion tastes. There's only space to express yourself freely through style. New Yorkers and even the transplants they love to hate – and rightfully so – deserve threads that match their energy and feets that keep up with them from borough to borough. Perhaps that's why the city's booked, busy and best-dressed take to suave yet sensible silhouettes like the Dr. Martens Adrian Tassel Loafers, because they don't cramp either their lifestyle or style: they complement it. Dr. Martens signature loafer silhouette may not seem like the perfect fit for a city-certified 'fit. But that's the thing about NYC, there are no rules and no limits to style or self-expression. Any average New Yorker can rock the classic shoe style, now available in a Cherry Red Arcadia colorway, to the train or to the latest IYKYK Lower East Side spot where they can loiter, catch a vibe, without ever looking out of place while always looking like themselves. These DM mainstays are designed with the everyday city slicker in mind, whether they walk on the wild side, style-wise, or keep it casual but cute, not wanting to do too much but just enough. For every native New Yorker and their besties, what's 'a lot' and 'what's not' looks different, though there's no right or wrong answer. Both classic camo jeans with a striped mohair sweater or a pleated skirt with a preppy polo, pair well with the staple shoe, offering that effortless off-duty model vibe even when you're on the clock. This iteration of the Adrian Tassel Loafer can take any look to the next level – from a crisp white cami and carpenter shorts to a jean jacket and oversized chino shorts – thanks to the Arcadia leather that subtly fades away as you wear the loafers to reveal a contrasting, bold cherry red base color. One that simultaneously appears in the shoe's tassels, apron and moc-toe. And just like how no two true NYC style savants bring the same flair to their fly, no two pairs of the Adrian Tassel Loafers are quite alike either – with the deep red leather hue emerging more and more as you wear the shoe. Despite this new twist to DM's iconic design arriving this year, the loafer dates back to the 80s, when the British brand first released the disruptive yet distinctive silhouette. Since then, Dr. Martens has toyed with the shoe style, introducing new iterations like the Adrian Bex Smooth Leather – a platformed alternative – and the Adrian Yellow Stitch Smooth Leather – for the ones that like to play it safe while still serving a look. Although Dr. Martens hails from a cozy county in England, the Adrian Tassel Loafers leave their mark all the way across the pond in NYC – into the closets of those who make the city their catwalk – even when it's just their everyday. Shop the Adrian Cherry Red Arcadia Tassel Loafer today – and all iterations of the staple silhouette – starting at $150 USD online at and in Dr. Martens retail stores.

The Top 10 Bombshells In Love Island History
You know the feeling when you're watching Love Island, everyone's coupled up and then a new bombshell walks in. They are the disruptor and agent of chaos (or romance). Not all bombshells live up to their title, but these 10? They BOMBSHELLED so hard, our jaws were left on the floor. Sher Suarez (US, Season 5) She came in cool, confident, and immediately had guys second-guessing their connections. She was the kind of bombshell who changed the vibe just by being there. Kat Gibson (US, Season 4) Kat didn't cause drama on purpose, but her entrance had the villa's energy shifting instantly. She gave sweet bombshell energy, but left everyone questioning their "secure" couples. Kenny Rodriguz (US, Season 2) Kenny's impact was instant: one look at Jana and she already saw her whole future ahead of her. No scheming, just pure bombshell charm. Isaiah Harmison (US, Season 3) Isaiah reminded us that male bombshells can bring the drama too. His entrance had triangles forming and loyalties tested in minutes. He was never there to play it safe! Mercedes Knox (AUS, Season 6) Mercedes gave us textbook iconic bombshell behavior. His chemistry with each islander detonated the most shocking recoupling of the season, IYKYK. Grace Jackson (UK, Season 11) Grace didn't just enter; she owned the villa from the second she stepped in. Nobody was safe once Grace arrived, and the shake-up was immediate. Maura Higgins (UK, Season 5) Maura redefined bombshell energy. From bold moves to fierce one-liners, she kept the villa (and us) on our toes 24/7. She bombshelled so hard that the producers made her the host of Love Island Games. Andreina Santos (US, Season 7) Our newest bombshell on the list is Andreina. She came in wanting to stir the pot, and I have a feeling that is exactly what she will do... Zeta Morrison (US, Season 4) Okay, yes, I know Zeta may have been an OG, but she radiated bombshell energy. She commanded the villa with grace, emotional intelligence, and star power. And Miguel Harichi (US, Season 6) Miguel was the bombshell blueprint. Charismatic, funny, and dangerously good at making connections, Miguel had couples crumbling within hours. The villa reset the moment he arrived. He's set the standard for male bombshells that's yet to be matched. Who's been your favorite bombshell to enter the villa? Who do you think truly embodied the role and showed the OGs up? Let me know in the comments!
