A Few Hits, Lots of Misses
Dynastic families, hidden secrets, forbidden slow-burning romance, and a side of familial drama—Emily Henry's Great Big Beautiful Life, has it all. Set in a quiet Georgian seaside town, it takes readers on a ride filled with intrigue, drama of the uber-rich, and romance.
Alice Cooper, a magazine writer, has tracked down the whereabouts of Margaret Ives, the heir of the media tycoon Ives Family, in order to pitch a tell-all biography. But to her dismay, she is not the only competitor, as Hayden Anderson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer, is also there to make his pitch. As Margaret puts them in ironclad NDAs for a month in order to scope them out, a race is on between them to snatch this dream job from the other. Also, to make things worse, both are equally attracted to each other, and finding ways to keep off each other in the tiny town is proving almost impossible.
As Margaret tells them the story of her family, the infinite scandals, and the lavish life lived in front of cameras, Alice will have to sift through it all and find out the truth. Margaret has lived a life like no one else, from being born with a 'diamond spoon', to the wild years of her youth, her marriage to the 'poor man's Elvis,' Cosmo Sinclair, and the fallout of it all, his untimely death, and her vanishing from public life for over 30 years. Margaret has stories she is hiding, and both Alice and Hayden are on a quest to find the truth.

Bad Bunny Asks Fans To Lower Their Expectation For His Tour: ‘I'm Not Taylor Swift'
Last Updated: Unlike Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, Bad Bunny will not pay tribute to all of his albums in his upcoming tour. Bad Bunny is gearing up to kick off his much-awaited world tour in November this year. Following the release of his sixth album, Debi Tirar Mas Fotos, the Puerto Rican singer is going on an all-stadium world tour. Before welcoming his fans, the singer compared himself with Taylor Swift and asked fans to keep their expectations low. During an interview with Variety, Bad Bunny referred to the Eras Tour and stated that unlike Taylor Swift, he would not be able to pay tribute to all of his albums. He further revealed that his tour would not be as organised as the Grammy-winning singers. 'First of all, I'm not Taylor Swift," the singer stated, asking his fans to not expect a tour like Taylor's Eras Tour. 'It's not going to be organised that way. It's very much a tour for Debi, with some older songs sprinkled in." The 31-year-old singer further clarified that there would be no concert films like the Eras Tour Movie, but they would shoot the concert solely for the memories, as the singer's main aim is to create memories and share emotions with the fans. Bad Bunny's highly anticipated world tour is on its way to breaking records as he sold tickets worth 2.6 million USD across shows in Latin America, Europe and Australia. His upcoming world tour is set to kick off on November 21 in the Dominican Republic, and after that he will make stops in Costa Rica and Mexico in December before resuming in January in Latin American countries. By the end of February, the singer is expected to conclude his shows in Brazil and Australia for the first time ever and make his concert debut in Japan by the end of March. Between May and July, the singer is expected to tour Europe, making stops in Portugal, Spain, Germany, France and other countries. Before embarking on his extensive world tour, Bad Bunny is set to perform a 30-date residency in Puerto Rico. The performance at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico Jose Miguel Agrelot is expected to draw an estimated 250,000 fans to the island. First Published:

Danny Boyle says he would not make 'Slumdog Millionaire' today due to cultural appropriation concerns
Danny Boyle is proud of his Oscar-winning 2008 film Slumdog Millionaire, but the filmmaker acknowledged that he cannot make the film in the present climate. Boyle told The Guardian that if he were to make Slumdog Millionaire today, he would use a filmmaker from India for it. He admitted that it is a flawed method to go to India with a native language-speaking cast and crew and make the film, because it would mean an outsider's perspective, which he considers an act of 'cultural appropriation'. Boyle's film tells the story of a kid from Mumbai's ghetto who takes part in a quiz program with millions up for grabs. It stars Dev Patel, Freida Pinto, Anil Kapoor, and Irrfan Khan, among others. Slumdog Millionaire won a Best Picture Oscar, and the film won critical appreciation, especially for its virtuoso filmmaking. However, many in India criticised Boyle for the film's depiction of poverty in the country, with some calling it 'white man's imagined India'. A sequel to the film is in development, with Swati Shetty and Grant Kessman's Bridge7 banner acquiring the rights for it. However, given Boyle's recognition of the film's flaws, he is unlikely to be part of the project as a director. Meanwhile, Boyle's latest film is 28 Years Later, which follows 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later. The film stars Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Alfie Williams, Ralph Fiennes, and Jack O'Connell, among others.
