Well I am just in utter shock! Not the news I was expecting to see when I woke up this morning AT ALL. Can't quite believe I am about to say this but Matthew Perry, best known for playing Chandler Bing in the widely well known US hit sit com Friends, has died at the age of 54 after an accidental drowning.
I have no words. Was hoping not to have to hear about his passing for at least another 3 decades or so. I just cannot believe what has just happened and that he has gone so soon! Well, no one told us life was gonna be this way. Rest in Peace Matthew, we will all miss you so so much 🙏🏽😭❤️

ROCKY AUR RANI KII PREM KAHAANI

A brilliant new bollywood movie out now cinemas!! Now, you'd look at the poster and think it's gonna be a like any other Bollywood Romantic Comedy we've seen but guys, this is SO much more than that! Starring and this film will never make you bored or stop laughing! A film containing a lot of life lessons we should all be utilising! Jaya Bachchan plays a VERY different role to what we are used to seeing her in but man does she do an incredible job with her role! Such a brilliant film which I would happily go and see again and again! So funny and enjoyable! Highly recommend going to see this movie!

By the way not a fan of the "What Jhumka" song! I much prefer the "Show Me The Thumka" song from Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar 😊

MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: DEAD RECKONING PART 1

Recently watched the new Mission Impossible movie and it was amazing! Action packed right from the start, you'll really love this film! just doesn't slow down with the stunts and the storyline is different from previous films but still just as nail bitingly gripping! Although it's frustrating that we have to wait until next year for part 2, I can't wait for it to be released in Cinemas! You may still have chance to see Part 1 in Cinemas but if not, you can always catch up when it streams on Prime, Hulu, and other streaming apps and sites. Highly recommend this movie to all you Mission Impossible fans out there!

Sorry I'm posting so late about this! You could say it's Indian Timing 😜
Aaanyway, I'm a Celeb is back and not only has a new series started but it's back in the jungle! 🙌🏾 There's some interesting Celebs in the class of 2020 from 's Boy George to Princess Anne's son-in-law Mike Tindall to the former Health Secretary himself Matt Hancock! Now I'm not gonna lie, although he was doing quite well, I was getting bored of him being voted for every trial! There are other celebs like Sue, Seann and Scarlett who hadn't done one yet, but I'm glad the others are getting a chance to do a trial, I know everyone is doing a dingo dollar challenge everyday but it's not really the same as a trial. Did anyone else find the trial that Babatundé, Chris and Boy George did on Tuesday really stressful to watch?! I mean I was on the edge of my seat like "ffs Baba!!" but he he did well tonight so he's redeemed himself. One campmate who isn't redeeming themselves at the minute is Charlene who is pi***ng me off right now with her refusal to sleep in the RV and her pathetic attempt at the tea cup challenge/trial and then getting involved in the kitchen telling Scarlett how to cut a frickin cabbage! Like seriously Charlene just shut up, sleep in the RV, stop breaking rules and start pulling your weight with the stars tomorrow! 😒😤 I'm actually liking Matt a whole lot more than Charlene at the moment and 5hope to god that everyone votes to get her out of the camp because she's a waste of space, selfish and tbh quite full of herself and I want to enjoy I'm a Celeb not feel angry every night because Charlene thinks she can do what she wants and get away with it! either let her be the first out or do something about this woman!
Okay rant over, let me know your thoughts in the comments! Do you agree with me or do you have a different opinion? Also I think Owen/Mike, Boy George, Matt, Baba and either Jill or Sue would be a hilarious group doing the celebrity cyclone this year! I mean they probably all would tbf but those are my top 5/6 - who are your top 5 celebs for the Celebrity Cyclone?
Side note - I think I'm a Celeb ruined the suprise of Boy George's luxury item (the spotty jacket) because they showed him wearing it in the promos before the series started but then he didn't wear it until he received it as a luxury item a few days later when Matt and Seann completed their mole challenge. So everyone was expecting to see him wear it from day one and he wasn't so it's like why show him wearing it in the promos if he's receiving it as a luxury item, I mean that gives it away don't you think? 🤔 (see promos below)

A huge loss to the magical world of witchcraft and wizadry this week. Scottish actor Robbie Coltrane died yesterday at the age if 72. Best known for playing our loveable half-giant half-human, gameskeeper, Keeper of Keys and care of magical creatures teacher in the Harry Potter franchise, he will be well and truly missed in both the wizarding world and the muggle community. To quote Harry Potter; "There's no Hogwarts without you Hagrid"
Can't believe he has gone! An irreplaceable soul who will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace Robbie 🙏🏽💔

What a send off! A beautiful funeral service befitting The Queen. So lovely to watch and see so many people paying their respects and saying their final goodbyes as the procession went past, taking Her Majesty on her final journey. Complete with glorious sunshine, the day couldn't have been more perfect. From Westminster Hall to Westminster Abbey and then after nearly a 2 hour journey to Windsor and St George's Chapel, Her Majesty would've been proud and happy.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte did exceptionally well getting through the day's events. A special applause goes out to The Royal Navy for that amazing procession in London but a massive well done to the pall bearers who not only had the most important job of carrying The Queen's coffin throughout the day but also the job of carrying the immense pressure that comes with this task, I mean to carry the state sovereign without dropping her infront of not just the Royal Family and all the guests who attended but also the entire nation watching both in person and on Live TV and not messing up is just incredible! It must have been both a great honour and the most difficult thing to do,so hats off to you all! 👏🏽
The service at St George's Chapel was so moving and emotional, especially the moment when HM The Queen's coffin was slowly lowered into the vault below the chapel. Such an extraordinary day of services, ceremonies and processions, filled with so much emotion, which fittingly concludes not only the end of the 10 day mourning period but also The Queen's reign as our sovereign.
May you Rest in Peace Ma'am. Thank you for your service to our country. You are now with your beloved Philip, our Prince and Duke of Edinburgh. Goodybe Your Majesty, you will be truly missed. God Save The King. 👑🙏🏽

It will be such a sad day as the world says goodbye to The Queen and I send my best wishes to King Charles lll, his siblings, children, grandchildren and the rest of the Royal Family on this very difficult day. May they remain strong as they give their mother, grandmother and great grandmother the most fitting and royal of send offs.

Earlier this evening our new King of England, King Charles lll addressed the nation at 6pm. It was lovely speech, honouring his "dear mama", acknowledging his new role and announcing bew changes in the Royal household. I truly felt for him as he fought to hold back the tears he so desperately wanted to shed. He also mentioned the late Queen's funeral which is to be in a weeks time. Thank you for your moving speech your Majesty, I'm sure you will do the nation and the world proud just as your mother, our late Queen had done. God Save The King. 👑🙏🏽
Didn't manage to catch it? Don't worry you can catch up on iplayer or itv hub in the program; a Service of Thanksgiving for HM The Queen.

Oh Sandy!! It is with a heavy heart and great sadness that share this devastating news with you. Olivia Newton-John has died at the age of 73 today after a long battle with Breast Cancer 😢💔
She was a great actress, amazing singer and a beautiful woman. I can't believe she's gone........really didn't think it was her time yet.
Struggling to work out why she's so familiar? Can't put your finger on where you've seen her? Well struggle no more, simply swipe to last image (3rd image) and you will realise that she played goody 2 shoes turned rebel Sandy in Grease! My all time favourite musical movie with so many iconic songs that we all know and love.
*exhales* to quote an iconic song with these lyrics that seems quite appropriate right now; I sit, I wonder Why yi-yi-yi Oh Why you left me, Oh Sandy!
Rest in Peace Olivia, your battle is over now be at peace 🙏🏽 We all love you and are deeply saddened and shocked to hear this awful news. My condolences are with her family at this devastating time.

Not sure I can get on board with this! 😲 Johnny Depp is irreplaceable in my opinion. What are your thoughts on Margot Robbie replacing him in this movie? 🤔💭

❤️ = love this idea can't wait!
😢 = if you're like me you're not a fan

CONFIRMED by Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer. Margot Robbie is set to be replacing Johnny Depp in the lead role of the beloved Disney franchise. 😱🤯Credit: [instagram.com/diamonddead]

I know I've reviewed Legacies before but I need to review Season 4 especially (spoiler alert) the final episode. Now I had a lot of high hopes and expectations for this episode, especially when I heard that Klaus Mikaelson was coming back along with Caroline Forbes, I was thinking "omg this is gonna be so epic and emotional, I can't wait!" but I have to say when I watched the final episode, I was a bit underwhelmed and a little disappointed to be honest.
‼️SPOILERS WILL BE MENTIONED SO PLEASE DO NO READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE FINAL EPISODE FOR YOURSELF‼️
Firstly Klaus and Hope's reunion could've been waaaayy better than a "zoom call" from peace! I was expecting her to meet him in her dreams or when she passes out she talks to him and hugs etc. (like in Harry Potter when he dies and talks to Dumbledore) but for Landon to organise with a dead Ethan, what seems like a zoom call from Klaus who has found peace just didn't really do the scene justice, I wanted to cry but I didn't because I was just thinking, what the hell is this?! They needed to have a proper reunion with a hug and everything - I know that is busy filming other things but to tease us all this time and build up our expectations only to appear on a screen has disappointed me alot. On another disappointing note Caroline's appearance was a bit underwhelming especially since I thought she'd come back alot earlier in the series as she apparently was off finding away for the twins to avoid the merge but since they've sorted that out I think in season 2, I would've thought she'd come back to help Rick, the twins and Hope, yet when she finally appears, she doesn't do very much, she's just there to be introduced as the new head teacher and that's it. Also why didn't she bring Josie with her? Josoe left to find herself so that she could help Hope but Hope's fine now, her humanity is back so why isn't Josie? She could've had a happy ending with Finch and her family. Someone else who could've had a happier ending is Landon and Hope, now why didn't they end up together again? Landon fought so hard to get out of limbo only to be made the ferryman of limbo which he can't escape unless he finds someone else worthy of the job and then on top of that he lost his emotions which is so much worse! After everything they've been through, they should've had a happy ending and been together. It's so frustrating that the writers do this for the ending of each series! The end of The Vampire Diaries split up Caroline and Stefan because they made Stefan sacrifice himself and they also killed off Enzo so yet again Bonnie misses out on a happy ending. In The Originals they killed off Elijah and Klaus to save the world - I mean neither had a girlfriend or wife since they killed off Hayley, thus separating her from Elijah, but Klaus had a daughter who needed him! Now with Legacies they not only split up Landon and Hope but Finch and Josie! At least Lizzie and MG finally got together though, I was rooting for them from the season 1 episode 1 - bit of an annoyance that it took the entire series for them to become a couple but yay or ! So so glad that The Necromancer or Ted as his human name finally found peace, I was happy for him. I did enjoy the New Orleans episode that made me feel abut emotional, just a shame about the last episode.
All in all I'd still recommend watching the series but I would advise not to have too much high expectations.

This looks amazing! Starring the brilliant Rebel Wilson - who by the way looks amazing! A Netflix movie releasing on MAY 13TH! It's good to see Rebel playing a normal role as a pose to her usual fat girl roles she played due to her weight and eventhough her role in Isn't it Romantic was a normal role I think there were parts of it that related to her weight. She looks amazing and I can't wait to watch this!
Will you be watching this next month?

Just caught up with the final few episodes of Holby City and what an emotional, touching yet fitting end to a brilliant series! I can't believe there's no Holby anymore 😔😱 I don't know what I'm going to do with my Tuesday nights now all the series I used to look forward to watching every day of the week have ended (except for Gogglebox Fridays of course) and now Holby City is added to that list 😔
**PLEASE NOTE THAT FROM THIS POINT ONWARDS THERE WILL BE SPOILERS SO PLEASE STOP READING IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FINAL EPISODES AND WANT TO CATCH UP**
A great ending for an eye opening and intriguing show. Hats off to all the cast and crew especially who played Jac Naylor brilliantly. Rosie, you did a phenomenal job playing Jac and making us love her and you more and more each week. Holby will never be the same without Ms Naylor because for me at least she made Holby the show that it is (or was). One thing I was hoping would happen (besides saving her life) was getting Fletch and Jac together at last like a few months back or even if in the last few episodes they both admit their feelings for each other. Also I thought Emma would be brought in to say goodbye maybe with Johnny (Emma's dad).
I was a bit disappointed in Mo Pfanger's appearance as I thought she would've gone to see Jac once Hansen told her the news and I kept waiting for her to show up on the ward and say hello to Sacha, Fletch and the others at the same time. I also thought Rick might jave paid Jac a visit and probably other doctors/nurses that knew her in the past but nevertheless I was still crying throughout the last 2 episodes 😭 Overall, if you want to catch up with with the final episodes on iplayer then I would strongly advise having tissues at the ready 🤧

More sad news today, The Wanted's Tom Parker has died at the age of 33 due to a brain tumor and passed away peacefully. He was father to 2 beautiful children, husband to a loving wife and a brother to his bandmates - Max, Jay, Siva and Nathan.
My thoughts, prayers and condolences are with his family, friends and all The Wanted family at this devastating time 🙏🏽
Rest in Peace Tom, you don't have to suffer in pain anymore. We'll all miss you, thank you for sharing the gift of music through your voice 😢

Sad news about such a legendary actor. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his family 🙏🏽
Didn't even know that he had had a stroke or any kind of brain damage to even be diagnosed with this horrible disease. So sorry hear this Bruce, wishing you all the best for your health and hope you manage to win this battle.
For those who don't know what Aphasia is:

Aphasia is a condition that robs you of the ability to communicate. It can affect your ability to speak, write and understand language, both verbal and written.

Aphasia typically occurs suddenly after a stroke or a head injury. But it can also come on gradually from a slow-growing brain tumor or a disease that causes progressive, permanent damage (degenerative). The severity of aphasia depends on a number of conditions, including the cause and the extent of the brain damage.

Bruce Willis' family revealed on social media Wednesday that he has aphasia and would be "stepping away" from acting

Late night post I know, but I couldn't wait till morning to post this review!
So just watched this brand new bollywood 2022 film Gehraiyaan ((in)depths) and all I can say is wow! This film is so deep and covers alot of serious, real life topics that you just don't see them coming. I heard about this film from during 's show where he interviewed who plays Tia and I just assumed it was about a simple affair like the storyline of Kabhi Alvidha Naa Kehna but there's so much more to it than that! Starring the amazing , this film goes waaay deeper than just 2 people having an affair because they're unhappy in their relationships. I'm trying so hard not to give any spoilers away but that ending - OMG! Part of me is hoping for a sequal but I can't believe it ended that way! Now we'll never know which direction the story is going to go to! When the screen went blank I was practically screaming at my TV "don't end there! Please don't say it's the end!" and then the credits rolled and was like "no waayyyy!!" It's not like a typical bollywood film with all the songs and all that but if you've watched films like Badla, Ittefaq, Mardaani etc and enjoyed them then you'll definitely love this film. Don't go by the trailer because it makes it seem like it's just a simple rom com affair storyline but just trust me amd go watch it! If you have Amazon Prime then you should be able to watch it free included with Prime.
Already seen it? Message me or comment below to let me know what you think? Do you agree that it's a great film or did you not like it?
Highly recommended this film! Thanks Haroon Rashid for rating this film, I wouldn't have known about or watched this film without your recommendation!

Sal Mubarak and Happy New Year to you all! May the bew year is peaceful, prosperous and healthy. JSK 🙏🏽🎆
Once again, to those who don't celebrate, today is the Gujarati New Year where we go to the mandir to pray, receive snacks and a new Hindu calendar. After this we celebrate with families and traditionally eat fish. Not only do we pray to god but also to our elders so we ask for blessings from our parents, and grandparents and if they are still alive any older generations such as great grandparents, great uncles and Aunties etc. So today, I will be asking for blessings from my parents and they will ask from my grandparents as will I. If on the day you only get to meet one set of grandparents/parents, then that's fine. The rest of the day is spent celebrating like a normal new years day.
Happy Gujarati New Year! Jai Shree Krishna 🙏🏽🎆

Happy Diwali! Hope you have a wonderful day that's lit up with lights and filled with colour 🪔
For those who don't know what Diwali is or why we Hindus celebrate it, Diwali is the festival of lights which celebrates Prince Ram, Prince Lakshman and Princess Sita's joyous return from being banished to the woods for 14 years by Ram's stepmother who wanted her son, Ram's stepbrother to be king. Ram, Lakshman and Sita survived 14 long years in the forest as poor people and even survived the company of the ravenous 10 headed demon Ravan who had kidnapped Sita in order to marry her but luckily for Sita, she had her brave husband and her brother in law Lakshman to come to her rescue. They had help of course from a newly acquainted friend they met on their journey to rescuing Sita, Hanuman, the divine vanara (monkey) companion who was Ram's number 1 fan and worshipped him like god. Together with his monkey like friends he helped Ram and Lakshman reach the demon's palace where Ram defeated Ravan by killing all 10 of his heads which kept him strong and without his heads he died and Ram was successfully able to rescue the love of his life. When Ram's exile was over, the whole kingdom lit up candles and diva lamps, not just in the kingdom but from the forest leading all the way back to the kingdom to help Ram, Lakshman and Sita find their way home. So every year on Diwali, we light Diwas (candles/diva lamps) in the house in celebration of Ram's victory in the battle against such an evil demon. We spend this day celebrating with family, prayingbto god and enjoying lots of delicious Diwali food that was made on the run up to this special day. Usually my mum makes at least some of the snacks and sweets we have but my grandma made them all this year, plus our friends and family give us a some of their sweets and snacks that they prepared as gift and we share ours in return.
This is one of my favourite times of the year, mainly because of all the delicious food we get to make and eat but also because of how pretty the house looks when all the diva lamps are lit.
Happy Diwali once again and to those celebrating today, I hope you have a bright and colourful day!

Happy Halloween! Hope you all have a spooktacular day! Watch out for ghosts, vampires, warewolves and zombies on this terrifying Hallows Eve.

While Hollywood mourns the heartbreaking death of Sarah Harding, Bollywood is also mourning a death. The death of 40 year old Sidharth Shukla who died of a heart attack on the 2nd September. Once again another beautiful young sould taken away from us way too soon.
Sidharth didn't star in many movies but he did star in many tv series and a well known show in particular, Bigg Boss. One movie of his that I have seen and love is Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania starring Aliya Bhatt and Varun Dhawan where he played the role of Angad Bedi, the man who Aliya Bhatt's character Kavya is set to marry, that's if Varun's character Humpty can find a reason for Angad not to marry Kavya.
A great actor, person, friend, son who will be dearly missed. Rest in Peace Sidharth, Jai Shree Krishna, Om Shanti Shanti Shanti 🙏🏽

**SOUND ON 🔊 **
Heard some sad news on the radio today..... Girls Aloud Singer Sarah Harding has passed away at the age of 39, following a brave battle with breast cancer during the last year.
I can't believe yet another person I know (granted I didn't know Sarah very well) has died at such a young age with so much to look forward to. Just a couple more months and she could've celebrated her 40th birthday in November. A family member of mine who had died recently was in her 50s and to be a grandmother next month. There was nothing wrong with her. It's just so frustrating that death keeps showing up and taking so many good people away from us way before their time. I'm just glad that none of those beautiful souls died of Covid-19.
Anyway, I loved Girls Aloud when I was younger and if they played on the radio every now and again I'd still enjoy their songs. My favourite was Sound of the Underground and I also loved I'll Stand By You. If you don't recognise Sarah from Girls Aloud or you're trying to figure out where you've seen her before that's not singing in a band well she didn't just sing but she also did a bit of acting too. One widely known role was when she starred in St Trinian's 2. The film is brilliant - a bit of a musical for want of a better description, more than the first movie anyway. (A movie review on this to follow).
My condolences are with her family and the rest of the band at this upsetting time. Rest in Peace Sarah, we'll stand by you forever 🙏🏽😥💃🏼🎤🎶
