Waterbomb Festival is returning to Hong Kong this summer, and going to Macau for the first time
We've been itching to go to a music festival soon, and Waterbomb has finally answered our prayers, announcing confirmation of their Hong Kong dates this year. This festival originates from South Korea, and is well-known for being a water party with liberal use of water guns on top of a music festival, so be prepared to get soaked. Mark your calendars for October 4 and 5, as Waterbomb will be taking over the Central Harbourfront. The 2025 lineup has yet to be confirmed, but last year saw major Korean artists like Rain, Jay Park, Loco, Gray, Jessi, StayC, PH-1, and more perform on our stage, so this edition is bound to be pretty stellar as well. If you're planning on going, log onto their Instagram and comment who you'd like to see at the festival in their artist wishlist post – and hopefully with enough fan support, you'll get to see your favourite musicians live in Hong Kong. This year also marks the first time ever that the Waterbomb Festival is going to Macau. The precise venue hasn't been confirmed yet, but the dates are coming up soon next month, on August 9 to 10. Ticket information for both events will be released soon, so check this space. We're keeping our fingers crossed that this year the festival's queues will be managed better – and also praying that we won't be hit by a typhoon during the event again!

(Video) Jessi Announces Comeback With 'NEWSFLASH' Teaser Following Assault Controversy
The final months of 2024 were challenging for K-pop soloist Jessi (제시). The rapper faced significant backlash over allegations of being involved in a physical altercation between a fan and an associate she had only just met that evening. Initial reports claimed the superstar was heavily criticised for not assisting the victim, but extended CCTV footage later revealed that she had, in fact, attempted to intervene and only left the scene after the situation had de-escalated. Despite issuing a public apology and the case being dropped by the Seoul Gangnam Police Precinct, the artist was still released from her agency, DOD Entertainment, due to the controversy, and subsequently went on an indefinite hiatus. Perhaps the time away was exactly what she needed, as she now appears ready to return to the music scene. Here's what we know so far about her comeback: Earlier this week, Jessi released a teaser video on Instagram, featuring a vintage television displaying the words 'NEWSFLASH', her name, and the date 27th June. If that wasn't obvious that new music is on the way, the soloist confirmed it herself in the caption, telling fans that she's ready for a comeback. 'Thank you, and I appreciate you so much, Jebbies! I wouldn't be here without your support. Ya'll are so fckin special to me and you know that!! 😭😭 teaser drops Wednesday at 9pm kst!! We back outside baby!!! ❤️❤️ LOVE YA'LL,' she wrote. It remains unclear whether 'NEWSFLASH' is the title of Jessi's comeback single or simply a teaser to grab attention. Regardless, fans were thrilled by the announcement, having eagerly awaited new music from the rapper. Many expressed excitement over the release, while others speculated that the upcoming single may carry a retro vibe, based on the instrumental heard in the teaser. Jessi clarified in the captions that 27th June does not mark the release of the single, but rather the drop of the official teaser. There is still no word on when the track will be available on the radio or music platforms, but one thing is certain: fans will be tuning in and showing their support for this long-awaited comeback.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
The reality TV show The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives has gained a large following due to its mix of drama and insights into Mormon culture. Fans are excited for news about Season 3 after two successful seasons. This article covers release date possibilities, cast updates, and expected storylines based on available information. Release Date Possibilities for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3 Hulu has not announced an official premiere date for Season 3 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. In October 2024, Hulu confirmed 20 more episodes after Season 1's success. Season 2, which aired on May 15, 2025, had 10 episodes, leaving 10 episodes still to come. Filming for these episodes is ongoing, as cast member Whitney Leavitt mentioned in May 2025. Given the eight-month gap between Season 1 (September 2024) and Season 2 (May 2025), the next episodes might arrive in late 2025, possibly November or December, or early 2026, around spring. Some reports suggest these 10 episodes could be called Season 2, Part 2, while others believe they will be marketed as Season 3, similar to how Hulu handled The Kardashians. An official announcement is still needed to confirm the release. Expected Cast for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3 The main cast from Season 2 is likely to return, bringing their ongoing conflicts and personal stories. The expected returning cast includes: Taylor Frankie Paul: The central MomTok influencer tied to the 2022 swinging scandal. Demi Engemann: A key figure in Season 2 drama, often clashing with others. Jennifer Affleck: Facing personal challenges, including pregnancy and marriage issues. Jessi Ngatikaura: Involved in a major Season 2 cliffhanger about an alleged affair. Layla Taylor: Played a role in revealing Season 2's final drama. Mikayla Matthews: Expecting a baby in summer 2025. Mayci Neeley: Also expecting a child, adding to the group's changes. Whitney Leavitt: Rejoined MomTok after earlier tensions, but her acting career may affect her role. Miranda McWhorter: A Season 2 addition linked to the original scandal. What's the Plot for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 3? Season 2 left us on a cliffhanger that's got everyone talking. Vanderpump Villa 's Marciano Brunette claimed he had an affair with Jessi Ngatikaura, despite earlier buzz pointing to Demi Engemann. Jessi's calling it nonsense, and her husband, Jordan, thinks Demi's behind the rumor mill. Here's what's likely coming in Season 3: Jessi's Affair Drama: This bombshell will probably kick things off, with Jessi facing off against Marciano and maybe Demi. Expect heated arguments and divided loyalties in MomTok. Demi's Feuds: Demi's been stirring the pot, fighting with Taylor, Jessi, and even Taylor's mom, Liann. Will she double down or get pushed out? Jen and Zac's Marriage: Jennifer's break from filming was about saving her marriage and handling her pregnancy. Season 3 could show if they're back on track or still struggling. Taylor and Dakota's Co-Parenting: After cooling their romance, Taylor and Dakota are focused on raising their kids together. Their dynamic will keep things spicy. MomTok's Fractured Friendships: The group's split into cliques, with trust issues everywhere. Miranda's new role and Whitney's return could shift alliances again. Baby Boom: With Jennifer, Mikayla, and Mayci all expecting babies in summer 2025, expect sweet moments mixed with the usual chaos. Where to Catch the Show You can binge Seasons 1 and 2 on Hulu in the U.S. or Disney+ if you're watching internationally. Season 3 (or whatever Hulu calls the next 10 episodes) will likely stick to these platforms. Ahmedabad Plane Crash

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars would love to film new season in Ireland
'BUCKET LIST' | Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' Whitney and Jessi tell Deirdre Reynolds they want to come to Ireland as they film season three 'Absolutely! We would love to watch anything like that,' she says of the hypothetical show dreamed up by Magazine+ . 'Let's see it,' agrees her castmate Whitney Leavitt. ''Cos we're just as interested in other religions.' As TV pitches go, it's not as far-fetched as you might imagine. After all, just two years ago, who'd have thought that viewers would be glued to a show all about The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives? 'I feel religion in general is going to strike a chord with anyone, whether it's the Catholic church, the Mormon church, whatever it may be,' continues Jessi. 'Even if you're not Mormon watching it, you probably had an experience with religion; whether you're super active in your's, or you've fallen away. Layla Taylor, Miranda McWhorter, Jessi Ngatikaura, Mikayla Matthews, Mayci Neeley, Taylor Frankie Paul, Jennifer Affleck, Whitney Leavitt and Demi Engemann attend the premiere "The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives" Season 2 'So the fact that we have so many people in our cast that vary in their faith levels, I think that so many people can relate to that and that's why it's interesting.' Season two of the guilty pleasure dropped on streaming giant Disney Plus last month, after becoming the most watched unscripted premiere of 2024, and the two glamorous stars, who are among nine TikTok influencers featured on the show, revealed they're still wrapping their heads around the level of worldwide fame it has brought them and their families. 'It's insane,' laughs Whitney, who welcomed her third child with husband Conner last October. 'I went to [musical] The Book of Mormon last night and a fan of the show came up to me and was like, 'Wow, you had to come all the way to London to watch a Mormon show!' Scandals, fallouts and dirty sodas in the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Today's News in 90 Seconds - June 14 2025 'So it's kind of crazy for the both of us just even getting recognised in the UK, but it's really cool. 'It's still surreal for me, I think,' adds Jessi, who has a daughter, son and stepdaughter with her husband, Jordan. 'Like, when I hear how many people have viewed the show, I still feel like I haven't really processed that, because it's a lot! The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is available to stream now on Disney+ 'It's different too, because when you're putting your own content out there on social media, you have control of it, you know what's going out— it's like your highlight reel. 'With reality TV, you're showing the good, the bad, the ugly, so [viewers] are seeing all sides of you, which is so scary, but it's so nice to see the support. Like, we get mean comments online, but I've never met anyone mean in person, so that's great.' Although the ladies didn't make it across the pond to Ireland while promoting the show this time, having previously gone on location to Italy, they promised to lobby for a 'Mormon Wives do Ireland' special as they're already filming season three of the addictive watch. 'It hasn't come up, but that would be so fun,' beams Whitney, who admits she had a lot of 'hard conversations' about whether to return to the hit programme after being painted as the villain of season one when she dramatically quit 'MomTok', as the Utah moms are collectively known. 'That's on my bucket list.' 'We're always down,' adds Jessi, who at 32 is the self-confessed 'grandma of the group'. 'Every year, we're always like, 'Can we go somewhere international?' Like, we are so excited to do that … and I don't think any of us have been to Ireland, so we might have to check that out. 'Actually, my husband's family I think is, like, half-Irish, so he has a lot of Irish [in him]. He looks like a leprechaun, he has a red beard, I always tease him!' Jessi Ngatikaura and Whitney Leavitt attend The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives x Club Soda takeover Founded in 1830, the Church of Jesus Christ of the Latter-day Saints is famed for its ultra-conservative teachings, from no sex outside marriage to no booze or cigarettes. Since launching the reality smash on the back of a 'soft swinging' scandal that rocked the US, however, it's the everyday idiosyncrasies — like the colourful 'dirty sodas' beloved by the ladies in lieu of alcohol — that have kept fans glued to their screens, according to Jessi and Whitney. 'I don't think we've moved past it quite yet,' the latter says of the controversy, which has been stirred back up in the most recent episodes by newcomer Miranda McWhorter. 'It's always going to be there. 'I'm definitely surprised that so many people are fascinated by [Mormonism], because I grew up it in,' continues the 31-year-old. 'So people hearing about the sodas or not drinking coffee, like, that's just what I know. 'Yeah, it's weird because we grew up thinking this is the one true church,' Jessi picks up. 'That's just kind of drilled into you, so growing up in a bubble, you just assume everyone either is Mormon or knows what Mormons are— but it's been cool to showcase how we live and how we do things. 'Y'know, like 30 years ago, things were a little stricter than they are now, and when our generation's running the church, I think it's going to be even a little [more] different. So I think it's just showing the evolution of it, and that we're just normal people even if we have a church that has some crazy rules at times!' One question that remains unanswered by the series, though, is who would win in a 'mom off' between the typically strict Mormon mother and wooden spoon-wielding Irish Mammy? 'Oh gosh, I mean, based off the Mormon moms I know, probably those!' jokes Whitney. 'But we're going to come to Ireland, and then we'll let you know!'
