Denise Richards isn’t sugarcoating anything. In a raw and emotional Instagram video, the actress and reality star opened up about the pain of her recent split from husband Aaron Phypers, and she didn’t hold back.
Calling the past few weeks “really f—ing s—y,” Richards admitted she’s been struggling hard to process what’s happened.
“This is my second divorce,” she said, her voice heavy. “I never thought I’d be here again.”
Phypers, 52, filed for divorce on July 7, citing irreconcilable differences. But what’s followed has been even more gut-wrenching. By the end of the month, Richards, 54, filed for a restraining order, for going through domestic violence and the court granted her a temporary one .

Justin and Hailey Bieber are not just pop culture icons. They are a young couple trying to figure out life together under all kinds of circumstances. And right now, they are going through a tough season in their marriage.
It is not a scandal. It is not a drama. It is just the messy, painful kind of struggle that comes with love and pressure and growing up in public.
A big part of the tension came while Justin was making his latest album. When he creates, he tends to disappear into himself. He shuts down emotionally, gets obsessive with the process, and everything else falls to the side. That includes Hailey. Being married to someone who is there but not really there is lonely. And Hailey has been feeling that weight.
But instead of walking away, she stayed. Quietly, patiently. Not because things were easy, but because love sometimes means holding on when everything feels heavy. She has seen Justin at his most vulnerable. She knows his struggles with mental health, the emotional rollercoaster that comes with fame and trauma. And she is not afraid of that darkness.
August 22, 2025 marked the birthday of the great and legendary actor, Chiranjeevi, all-time favourite of fans.

People immediately thought he was taking a diss at Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor’s kid because their son’s also named Taimur. But no, Vivek says he wasn’t talking about their baby at all.
He very clearly mentioned that he was not talking about Saif’s and Kareena’s child, he was talking about the historical figure who was anything but a nice person Timur ( Tamerlane) and shared how this person was a brutal conqueror from way back in the 1400s. He went around finishing kingdoms, killing people, destroying stuff, raping women and what not. Vivek even visited Timur’s tomb in a place called Samarkand and saw how heavy the history is.
Vivek’s point? The name “Taimur” isn’t just some cool or trendy name. It comes with a bloody past, and you can’t just ignore that. When Saif and Kareena named their son Taimur in 2016 it stirred up a lot of drama in the society. The name Taimur has a history which people are not very fond of.
On Day 1, collectionhit ₹52 crore and it was a great win for the movie.
That felt like a solid opening, with the Hindi and Telugu audiences showing up big time. Tamil was quiet but steady. Everyone thought this movie was going to run for a while.
Day 2 actually got better, with collections jumping 11% to ₹57.85 crore. The Friday crowd was clearly interested, especially the Hindi Viewers, who dropped ₹45 crore. It looked like “War 2” was gaining momentum, riding the wave of curiosity and good word-of-mouth.
Then came Day 3 where things changed but with a massive 42% drop to ₹33.25 crore. Saturday showed that people’s excitement was already cooling off. Sunday was just barely holding on at ₹32.65 crore, some fans stuck around, but the buzz was fading fast.
Monday was brutal. Collections dropped 73% to ₹8.75 crore, showing that the film wasn’t clicking enough for weekday viewers. Tuesday and Wednesday didn’t get any better, with ₹9 crore and ₹5.75 crore. Thursday’s early estimates dropped even further to ₹5 crore. The hype had all but died.
By the end of the week, “War 2” pulled in ₹204.25 crore domestically. Not terrible by any means, but those sharp drops tell the story of a movie that couldn’t hold people’s attention for long. It had a big opening, but the thrill was short-lived.
According to speculation, from the world of wrestling, the indomitable Undertaker, a stalwart of WWE is said to be one of the best anticipated contestants of Salman Khan’s Bigg Boss 19 as a wild card entry. The season is set to premiere on August 24, 2025.
As per reports, he has planned to join Bigg Boss 19 in November, we might see him bringing that terrifying presence over to the murky waters of reality TV. He will be present for around 7 to10 days, during which time his stony look might shift the house’s power dynamics.
Rajinikanth’s Coolie, directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj, has amassed a staggering Rs 223.50 crore in India in its opening week from the domestic box office, raking in a stagnant Rs 6.25 crore on day 8.
The action-thriller had an occupancy of 17.67% in Tamil on Day 8, August 21. 2025, while the overall Hindi occupancy was 10.64%. Mixed feedback and not meeting fans’ expectations perhaps dulling the initial hype while the film still larps past War 2’s Rs 199.25 crore week one total.
