The brief life and sudden death of Zyzz: why did the bodybuilding influencer die at just 22?

-
Long before looksmaxxers, Aziz ‘Zyzz’ Shavershian was famous online for posting workouts and rage-bait – until he died in Thailand in 2011. A new documentary reveals what really happened Decades before the extreme aesthetic trend of looksmaxxing, there was Zyzz. Aziz Shavershian was an Australian teenager who became a fitness influencer in the 2000s, filming his workouts and thoughts about the world on his Nokia and posting them to YouTube. Zyzz was big in all senses of the word: many of his videos would see him flexing into unabashedly vain bodybuilding poses, hair feathered like an anime character, as he mocked his audience’s envy with slang straight out of bodybuilding forums: “U mirin’, brah?” He was skilled in rage-bait long before anyone had heard of it, creating accounts to troll himself in case the haters ever forgot to hate. He started an anonymous Facebook page, titled “10,000 likes and I’ll bash Zyzz”, and, when the goal was reached, switched the page to one advertising his ...

EXCLUSIVE: Arjun Kapoor amicably parts ways with YRF Talent Management; signs up with Matrix

-

Arjun Kapoor completed 12 years as a film actor on May 11. On this special occasion, he uploaded a tribute video to his debut film, Ishaqzaade (2012). It was produced by one of the reputed production houses in the country, Yash Raj Films (YRF) and they also handled his talent management and public relations. But it has now come to light that after 12 years, Arjun has moved out of the YRF Talent Management.

A source told Bollywood Hungama, “Both Arjun and YRF parted ways amicably. Arjun wanted to explore newer avenues and hence, took this decision. He and YRF’s head honcho Aditya Chopra continue to hold each other in high regard and will surely collaborate in future when the right opportunity comes along.”

Another source said, “Arjun Kapoor will now be handled by Matrix IEC Pvt Ltd, co-founded by Reshma Shetty.” Besides Arjun, Matrix also handles prominent celebrities like Shahid Kapoor, Ram Charan, Akshay Kumar, Abhishek Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra, Alia Bhatt, Farhan Akhtar, Varun Dhawan, Katrina Kaif, Madhuri Dixit, Vicky Kaushal, Karisma Kapoor, Khushi Kapoor, Agastya Nanda Athiya Shetty, etc. Arjun has also got a new PR team on board.

Arjun Kapoor was last seen in The Lady Killer (2023), opposite Bhumi Pednekar. His next film is the much-awaited Singham Again, in which he plays the antagonist, Danger Lanka. This will be followed by Mere Husband Ki Biwi, co-starring Bhumi Pednekar and Rakul Preet Singh. Recently, Boney Kapoor also announced that No Entry 2 will soon go on floors and it’ll star Arjun Kapoor, Varun Dhawan and Diljit Dosanjh.

A few days ago, Arjun Kapoor won hearts when he came forward to help the 10-year-old Delhi boy, Jaspreet Singh, whose video of selling rolls for a living following the death of his father, went viral. Arjun shared a news report about the kid on Instagram and expressed the wish to support the kid’s education for which he sought help from his followers to know his whereabouts. As expected, his gesture was applauded by netizens.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
