During a question and answer period during a private event for Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM, the 38-year-old singer admitted she passed on an opportunity to work with then fledgling singer Billie Eilish because she thought her song was ‘boring.’ The Roar singer, who shares daughter Daisy with fiance Orlando Bloom, appeared at the event wearing  a pair of green leather pants with a green and white cropped sweater with a maze design. Big mistake: Katy Perry admitted she made a ‘big mistake’ when she passed on the opportunity to…

Billie Eilish was in good company on Sunday as she watched Kansas City Chiefs win only the third Super Bowl in their storied 64-year history at State Farm Stadium in Arizona.

Despite his accomplishments, Garp always refuses to be an Admiral, and the reason is actually a lot simpler than you might think. The world of One Piece is filled with people who rule the Oceans through the power of Devil Fruits. With powers like earthquakes or lava, they are literally monsters who roam the sea. However, that doesn’t mean one needs to acquire the power of a devil fruit in order to thrive in the merciless sea of One Piece. As a matter of fact, there are people who never consumed a devil fruit, and yet they can go head-to-head with those monsters. One…

Sanji is being set up to fight one of the Seraphims, S-Shark. One Piece chapter 1077 set up an incredible clash between Sanji and one of the Seraphims, S-Shark. In the previous chapters, fans saw Seraphims S-bear and S-hawk being pit up against the alliance of the Straw Hat Pirates and CP0. Luffy and Lucci were teaming up against S-Bear while Zoro and Kaku were timing up against S-hawk. In the recent chapter, fans saw S-shark attack Nami, which prompted Sanji to jump to her defense immediately. Sanji delivered a powerful blow to S-Shark, sending him flying in the process. The fact…

An artist’s depiction of the exoplanet LHS 475 b orbiting its star. (Image credit: NASA, ESA, CSA, Leah Hustak (STScI)) NASA’s newest space telescope has notched another milestone with observations of its first rocky world. A little over a year after its launch, the historic James Webb Space Telescope has detected its first rocky exoplanet, and the distinction goes to LHS 475b — an Earth-size planet as hot as Venus located just 41 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Octans. “I think we are just starting to scratch the surface of what is possible with JWST,” Jacob Lustig-Yaeger, an astronomer at the Johns Hopkins University Applied…

Do universes pop up as bubbles from a multiverse? It’s easy to envisage other universes, governed by slightly different laws of physics, in which no intelligent life, nor indeed any kind of organized complex systems, could arise. Should we, therefore, be surprised that a universe exists in which we were able to emerge? That’s a question physicists including me have tried to answer for decades. But it is proving difficult. Although we can confidently trace cosmic history back to one second after the Big Bang, what happened before is harder to gauge. Our particle accelerators simply can’t produce enough energy to replicate the…

Researchers have used simulations to investigate the cosmic web, the filamentary pattern of galaxies that exists on large scales throughout the universe. By treating the distribution of galaxies as a collection of points and applying mathematical techniques developed for materials science, they have quantified the relative disorder of the universe and gained a better understanding of its fundamental structure. Credit: NASA/University of Chicago and Adler Planetarium and Astronomy Museum The universe is peppered with galaxies, which, on large scales, exhibit a filamentary pattern, referred to as the cosmic web. This heterogeneous distribution of cosmic material is in some ways like…

When the universe’s first stars emerged from the cosmic dark ages, they ballooned to 10,000 times the mass of Earth’s sun, new research suggests. An illustation showing a twinkling burst of starlight at the center of a turbulent field of crackling orange radiation and glowing black holes. (Image credit: ESA) The first stars in the cosmos may have topped out at over 10,000 times the mass of the sun, roughly 1,000 times bigger than the biggest stars alive today, a new study has found. Nowadays, the biggest stars are 100 solar masses. But the early universe was a far more exotic place, filled with mega-giant…

The Bird-human hybrid character seems to be providing refuge to princess Vivi and is quite popular in the One Piece world. But who is he? A name that has been making rounds in the world of One Piece currently is ‘Big News’ Morgans. He is creating quite the buzz, especially after the recent reverie incident in the Mary Geoise. ‘Big News’ Morgans made his debut during the Whole Cake Island Arc as he was invited to her tea party by Charlotte Linlin aka Big Mom. As evident by his appearance, Morgans looks like a tall human-Albatros hybrid with a long beak and…

Lucasfilm ran into some major setbacks with its next theatrical release in the Star Wars universe. Fans haven’t seen a Star Wars movie on the big screen since 2019’s Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker as Lucasfilm attempts to move into new adventures outside of the Skywalker Saga. Those efforts haven’t been easy, however, as an already planned Star Wars movie set for 2025 has been facing more than its fair share of problems while multiple new Disney+ properties have been produced and relased in the last few years. And with two other new movies from the galaxy far, far away already facing the ax with no signs of improvement on…

A release date for Shazam! Fury of the Gods to be available to stream online has just been set. Shazam 2 was released in theaters on Friday, March 17, and opened to an underwhelming $30.1 million domestically.

Fury of the Gods director David F. Sandberg admitted how “it’s not like this comes as a surprise,” when discussing the immediate box office performance. The DCU’s final 2022 film, Black Adam starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson opened to a more impressive $67 million and was…
