The Taylor Swift Anomaly
I’ve been listening to Taylor Swift a long time now and it is difficult to be objective when I write about her. She’s grown with her 6 albums and has become as whole an individual as can be with the spotlight, the endless articles, the fans and the hate.
I started to really listen to her songs during her second album, Fearless where she wrote seven of the tracks herself compared to three on her first album. She co-produced it and the first single, ‘Love Story’ was a hit selling 8 million copies worldwide. It also earned her first Album of the Year at the Grammy’s. To tell you the truth, I didn’t know all of this then nor did I understand the enormity of it. From all the songs on this album, I didn’t even like ‘Love Story’ all that much. But the other songs remain with me even now, forming an intrinsic part of how I felt during my childhood – Breathe is lyrically beautiful (‘people like people but sometimes we change our minds’) and it made me think about a best friend I had lost because of a silly misunderstanding. To this day, I hear it and think about how I’ve still not managed to get back to normal with her. The Best Day (‘I love you for giving me your eyes, staying back and watching me shine’) is about Taylor’s mother and the song is so heartfelt, it makes me cry every single time I hear it. After listening to this one, I wipe my tears and my guilt and call my mother up immediately. White Horse, Tell me why and You’re not sorry are very similar in terms of heartbreak for me. It’s very clear that this is an emotionally abusive relationship she is singing about with multiple issues – secrets, the push and pull the boy plays as well as cheating. All problems you can definitely relate to and Taylor clearly has very black and white rules about it. We all felt strongly about it then – Taylor and I were still growing up.
Speak Now was her third album and in my opinion, her last album where she displays innocence – about love, the critics, the press and the fame. Dear John and Innocent were obvious songs written about John Mayer and Kanye West who had done things to her that neither they nor the world was very proud of. Back to December is the first time Taylor displays remorse – a complete acceptance, a swallowing of pride and an acknowledgement that she was wrong and she doesn’t know how to make it right. Mine, Sparks Fly and Ours are all songs that signify an ‘us against the world’ scenario – all at a time when your parents and society do not seem to understand your choices and you really don’t want to explain. You can see early signs of the shrewd business woman coming in here – because there was a criticism that nearly every song in her previous albums had a co-writer and so she decided to write this entire album herself. Yet the song ‘Never Grow Up’ describes the reluctance of being alone, independent, moving out and making decisions. Her pain of heartbreak and refreshing vulnerability was really displayed in two of the songs – Last Kiss and If this was a movie – an emotion that gets far more mature in her next album, Red. Despite ‘Mean’ being a ‘why are you picking on me?’ song, it still manages to be endearing but it’s ‘Better than Revenge’ that displays for the first time Taylor’s pettiness – this song made her more human to me. I understood, early on that these were diary entries and this song particularly was when she was consumed with hate that another girl had just walked right in and taken away someone she was with. It also shows how Taylor isn’t just singing – the hate really blares through and the line ‘Do you still feel like you know what you’re doing. I don’t think you do. Let’s hear the applause. Show me much how better you are’ displays a large amount of confidence that borders on pride and glee at another’s downfall. It’s another theme that comes up more than once in her later albums.
RED – this is and will always probably be – my favorite album of hers. It is probably her most intense, vivid and perceptive album till date in all its messy complexity. It’s the album that was the soundtrack to my life at that point. Though the other albums are probably more sonically cohesive, Red captures falling in and out of love with both elation and anguish and though the songs are extreme in its pain and power, it is not something to be taken lightly. Love like that can ripple across your life and you can feel those emotions even now – just like these songs can take you back to that moment just as easily. The songs that went on to become hits – We are never ever ever getting back together, 22, Everything has changed, Begin Again, I Knew you were trouble – are not the standouts on this album. ‘All Too Well’ by itself makes this album a stunner – this song will probably be the best songwriting I have ever experienced – it brings together memories in a series of flashbacks – a love that you can remember every moment of and regret how it ended forever. The way the memory of him curdles in her mind during the bridge is masterful and the line – ‘you call me up again just to break me like a promise. So casually cruel in the name of being honest’ tugs at heartstrings you never knew existed. ‘I Almost do’ and Treacherous are two other songs that talks about battles of the heart at two very different points in a relationship. Treacherous is just the beginning of a romance – a forbidden one where every single fiber of your being is telling you to not walk into but you do it because the pull is so strong and you’re willing to put yourself through anything to experience it. I Almost Do, on the other hand, is after the relationship is over – when you’re fighting another battle for self-control – to act nonchalant but inside, you despair and you wonder if he feels just about the same kind of crazy you do. ‘Sad, Beautiful, Tragic’ is a sort of resignation, a laying down of arms, a kind of defeat within yourself admitting that there is nothing more that can be done. I think this was her only album that she cried while working on.
1989 is her first self proclaimed pop album – I see a complete change in her writing material here. There is nothing dramatic about this album – this is a carefully thought out, award winning production that displays what Swift has learnt from her last 4 albums. It’s also coming out during a time when a section of the media has started to take jabs at her – she dates too many people, she’s clingy, she dates men and leaves so she can write songs about them, she looks too surprised when she wins at award shows, she can’t dance – the list is endless. She’s in her mid twenties and she has started to get defensive – about her personal life, her art and her privacy. Shake it Off and Blank Space is her telling the media that she is reading everything they say but she has the ability to turn around and play up exactly what they want with a mocking, all knowing smile. Taylor has finally come into her own – she has become a company herself and she makes a lot of decisions a lot more independently. For example, the fact that most of the songs are about herself and not a relationship, that she didn’t put a single country song in there, she decided that album’s cover would be a polaroid of half her face, the album title would be her birth year 1989 and the Secret Sessions that made her play the entire album to a select few fans at her houses across the country. This is also the first time that Swift is confident enough to talk about another equally popular star, Katy Perry in Bad Blood. Though Swift didn’t name her, she seemed to know exactly the kind furor and publicity it would create. She cheekily named a song ‘Style’, clearly referencing Harry Styles, a former boyfriend. By now, I was perfectly aware that Taylor was in control or atleast, to the world she looked perfectly at ease with how to play the media. There was not a boy in sight during the release and promotion making it clear that Swift was willing to put her love life on hold to ensure it doesn’t take away from the success of her work.
During the tour, she started dating Calvin Harris. The fans and media were also told that she was going to take a break and we didn’t begrudge her that. She was happy and in a steady relationship which was good enough for us considering the kind of crap deal she used to get with other men. Suddenly, they broke up and Taylor did the most strangest thing by moving on to Tom Hiddleston. I still didn’t waver – Tom was lovely and Calvin already started to seem like a jerk with the public bashing.
Then the Kanye West thing came out. Suddenly, her life was spiraling out of control. The media frenzy was insane and I couldn’t read about anything else on my newsfeed. I had to admit, things looked bad and Taylor had probably realized the perils of fame in its true sense then. Her retreat from the spotlight was so absolute that I wasn’t surprised. After all that, I doubt I would want to face the public ever again.
But she did – slowly and in her own time. From being called a snake to finally owning it. From being passive aggressive to finally going all out in bold letters saying ‘I WANT TO BE PETTY’ in this sixth album, Reputation, she has become a different person from the one who sang Tim McGraw. This album has been therapeutic for her. She is no longer innocent and emotional. She is now brave, understands the hate in the world, even recognizes it in herself and this album just shows how much. She still falls in love but now it isn’t with abandon. She is careful about it – she is very aware of her life and its difficulties and she needs and has finally found someone that gets it and still wants to stay. She decides what she puts out on social media, she doesn’t give interviews, she finally knows who her friends are and she is more than aware of what everyone else is saying. She decides when and if she wants to speak out about politics, feminism, charity and her girl squad. She doesn’t feel the need to defend or display anymore – whether it is about her tickets for her tour or her romance.
Despite her change and her mistakes, she is still grateful. She still understands how important her fans are and she knows this strength to go on comes from them. She didn’t succumb to ‘going crazy’ or ‘going sexy’ or ‘twerking’. She knows there will always be a section of hate but her transition from ‘why me?’ to ‘I hate you just as much’ to ‘Watch me shine suckers’ is complete.

Substance abuse coupled with her out-of-control emotions made it hard for others to work with her. Hank and Audrey had a son in 1949, Randall Hank Williams (aka Hank Williams, Jr.), but the marriage was a tumultuous one and ended in divorce in May of 1952 (Audrey had previously filed for divorce from Hank in April of 1948, citing unruly drunkenness and uncontrollable violence, but the divorce was eventually annulled after the pair reconciled).

Welcome to the Academy Awards – A Celebration of Cinematic Excellence
Welcome to the Academy Awards – where the red carpet is rolled out, the stars shine bright, and sometimes, bedlam ensues. While the world loves a good scandal, let’s take a moment to celebrate the moments that went slap-less but left a mark nonetheless. From impromptu selfies to unexpected bromances, here are some Oscar highlights that had us giggling in our popcorn.
Ellen DeGeneres’ Viral Selfie Moment (2014)
The Oscar Highlight that Broke the Internet
Ellen DeGeneres, the queen of daytime television turned Oscar host extraordinaire, kicked off the wholesome madness in 2014 with a selfie that broke the internet faster than Beyonce’s Super Bowl Verizon commercial. Gathering the A-listers for what would become an iconic group shot, Ellen proved that even Hollywood royalty can’t resist the allure of a good selfie. As the stars aligned (quite literally), Ellen worked her magic, rounding up the likes of Meryl Streep and Bradley Cooper into the frame. But it wasn’t just the sheer celeb power on display that made this moment so iconic – it was the silliness of the moment as well. From Lupita Nyong’o’s radiant smile to Channing Tatum’s look of excitement, each expression captured the zaniness of it all. Even seasoned veterans like Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt couldn’t help but grin like giddy schoolchildren as they squeezed into the shot.
Within minutes, Ellen’s selfie had become the most retweeted image in Twitter history, surpassing even the likes of tweets from Barack Obama and Kim Kardashian. It was a testament to the appeal of a surprise moment and a candid selfie with ridiculously rich, good-looking, and famous people. With smiles brighter than their Oscar statuettes, this semi-impromptu bit showed that even the glitziest of celebs can’t escape the gravitational pull of a smartphone camera.
Bong Joon-Ho’s Historic Wins for “Parasite” (2019): Breaking Boundaries
“Parasite’s” sweeping victory at the 2019 Oscars was a watershed moment for the film industry, breaking cultural and linguistic barriers. Bong Joon-Ho etched his name into the annals of cinematic history with a groundbreaking win at the 2019 Academy Awards. His film “Parasite” nabbed the coveted Oscar for Best International Feature Film, marking a monumental moment as the first South Korean film to both receive a nomination and clinch the win in this notable category.
But when he won Best Director, the surprised Bong admitted he thought he was done after winning the aforementioned award. His acceptance speech was a breath of fresh air in a room often filled with rehearsed platitudes. After paying tribute to Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino, he ended his speech by hilariously saying, “Thank you. I will drink until next morning, thank you.”
Lady Gaga and Liza Minnelli’s Heartwarming Oscar Highlight
And who could forget the dynamic duo of Lady Gaga and Liza Minelli presenting the award for Best Picture? After a standing ovation for the 77-year-old legend, Minelli struggled to understand her lines. But fear not, for Lady Gaga is here to save the day – or at least, salvage the moment. With a quick glance at the teleprompter and a reassuring smile, Gaga takes the reins, seamlessly guiding Minelli through the minefield of misplaced cues.
Lady Gaga quickly took reins, saying “I got this,” reading the teleprompter and guiding Minelli. As the icon stumbled again, Gaga leaned in and endearingly whispered, “I got you.” What could have been a very awkward moment, was smoothed over by the class and grace of Lady Gaga.
Hugh Jackman’s Musical Extravaganza (2009): A Refreshing Change of Pace
In the grand tradition of the Oscars, where hosts often take the stage armed with a barrage of clever zings and razor-sharp roasts, Hugh Jackman dared to defy convention in 2009. As he stepped into the spotlight as the evening’s emcee, few could have predicted the spectacle that was about to unfold.
Jackman didn’t just host the Oscars; he stole the show with a musical number that had us tapping our feet and questioning our life choices. Skipping the usual roast session, Jackman opted for a celebration of cinema that was so infectious, even the grumpiest audience member couldn’t help but crack a smile. Who needs insults when you have song and dance numbers, right?
The Bromance of Spike Lee and Samuel L. Jackson (2019): A Moment of Brotherhood
But it’s not all about the hosts and winners; sometimes, it’s the unexpected moments that steal the spotlight. Take Spike Lee and Samuel L. Jackson’s performance at the 2019 Oscars. As the envelope opened, Jackson shouted, “the house!” in reference to Morehouse College, the historically black college that both he and Lee proudly attended.As Lee took the stage to accept his long-overdue Oscar, Jackson’s proud embrace said it all. It was a moment of pure bromantic bliss that reminded us why we love these guys in the first place.

These wholesome highlights are cherished because they showcase the human side of the Oscars. They remind us that beyond the competition and the accolades, the Academy Awards are a celebration of the artistic spirit, a moment to honor creativity, collaboration, and the enduring impact of cinema on our lives.

In a world where controversy often captures more attention than creativity, these slap-less Oscar moments serve as a refreshing reminder of the event’s true essence. They underscore the importance of unity, joy, and the celebratory spirit that defines the best of the Oscars.

April 13th brought us the sad passing of one of the most loved and admirable musicians of the rock industry; Chi Cheng passed away in hospital after his heart suddenly stopped. Chi was best known to be the bassist of the alternative metal band, Deftones, from Sacramento in California. He also released an impressive 25 track solo spoken word album called “The Bamboo Parachute” in 2000. Chi was known to be a very kind, down to earth man who made those around him happy too and who always made time for his fans.
Tragically, on the 4th of November 2008 Chi was involved in an automobile accident with his sister and was seriously injured. After being in a coma, Chi remained in only a partially-conscious state since the accident. He had only the ability to move his legs on command and was not able to speak in sentences or move independently.
On the 13th of April, Chi’s mother Jeanne posted on the website oneloveforchi.com:
“Our dearest Family, This is the hardest thing to write to you. Your love and heart and devotion to Chi was unconditional and amazing. I know that you will always remember him as a giant of a man on stage with a heart for every one of you. He was taken to the emegency room and at 3 am today his heart just suddenly stopped. He left this world with me singing songs he liked in his ear. He fought the good fight.You stood by him sending love daily. He knew that he was very loved and never alone. With great love and “Much Respect!” Mom J (and Chi).”
Rock and metal musicians such as Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor and former Guns ‘n’ Roses guitarist Slash also paid their respects to Chi Cheng and his family. Brian Welch, former guitarist of Korn said that Chi “just might be the nicest person I’ve ever met on the planet”. Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park also recalls how Chi had a “typical, warm friendly style”. He also noted that he had fond memories of Chi on his blog, such as the time he turned up to Linkin Park’s photoshoot where he proceeded to pretend to be Chester Bennington, the lead singer.
It is clear that Chi was loved and still is loved by many people within the music industry and outside of the music industry. With Deftones being my favourite band of all time, news of his passing hit me hard so I offer my deepest condolences and love to Chi’s family, friends and the members of Deftones at this hard time.


Suri Cruise has become an icon of kid’s fashion. Her wardrobe is valued in three million dollars, and she is only three years old. Even her mother, Katie Holmes, that is going to launch her own line of clothing, has said that her daughter is her muse. Katie also has indicated that her daughter loves to dress up.
We also know that little Suri loves to wear heels, but a lot of people criticize this. Since Suri first was spotted in public in her child-sized kitten heels earlier this fall, a debate was sparked on the web and in parent's magazines over whether they could present a risk to the child’s growth. Katie Holmes said:
"Suri, like every little girl, she loves my high heels. The truth is that the ones she uses, they are actually ballroom dancing shoes for kids. I found them for her and she loves them. What’s more, Suri loves her heels and she is so ‘vain’ that she wouldn’t wear trainers, for considering them boy’s shoes”

Oscar-nominated actress Rosie Perez has filed a personal injury lawsuit against the producers of the NBC police procedural "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" for an injury she sustained while filming a guest role on a 2009 episode of the show. The role included a scene in which she was shaken violently by another actor, and Perez says that she suffered a serious, permanent neck injury as a result.
Although Perez was hurt on the job, the legal rules for injury compensation are somewhat different for those in the performing arts. In this case, Perez is not filing a workers' compensation claim. She claims that the producers' negligence in designing and filming the scene is the cause of her injuries.
According to the lawsuit, Perez was "negligently, carelessly, violently and recklessly pulled, grabbed, yanked, wrenched and/or manhandled" while filming the 2009 episode, which was titled "Hardwired." Typically, action scenes are carefully choreographed in order to minimize the risk of injury to the performers.
After this shoot, however, Perez discovered she had sustained "two slipped discs, one bulge, three sprained ligaments, and a pinched nerve, which resulted in minor nerve damage," according to news reports after her injuries became obvious to the public. She is said to have undergone bone marrow surgery to treat aspects of her neck injury.
Last summer, Perez was invited to attend an event at the White House. She appeared in a wheelchair and was wearing a neck brace and told reporters that she had been injured on the set of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit."
The personal injury lawsuit names as defendants the production companies Northern Entertainment Productions and DDF Films, which apparently both do business as "Wolf Films," which co-produces all of NBC's "Law & Order" series.
The companies referred requests for comment to a spokesperson for NBCUniversal, who declined to comment on the case.

Michael Jackson's Broken Brand

Twelve jurors in a California courtroom may have exonerated Michael Jackson, but the pop star now faces the enormously difficult task of restoring his image in the eyes of the public. The legendary singer hasn't produced a hit song in years and, despite the not-guilty verdicts on 10 felony counts, including charges of child molestation, many observers believe Jackson's image is damaged permanently.
Since the release of Thriller in 1982, Jackson has made a career out of pushing the boundaries of behavior and style. The recent three-month courtroom drama cemented the pop icon's eccentric image and split audiences into camps of defenders and detractors. And while Jackson's rapport with the public is bad, his financials are even worse. A forensic accountant at the trial testified that Jackson is spending as much as $30 million more per year than he earns.
Yet some PR consultants believe Jackson can take steps to improve his public image and escape his deep financial woes. The pop star isn't the first person to create a public relations nightmare: Many politicians, celebrities, and religious figures have fallen from grace and worked their way back into favor with the public. So a professional comeback is possible, even if a turnaround won't come easy. As image-management experts point out, the King of Pop can't simply moonwalk his way back to success. The rehabilitation of the Jackson brand will require real behavioral change that includes the building blocks of truthfulness, accountability, transparency, and consistency.
According to the article, what must Michael Jackson do to rehabilitate his tarnished reputation and image? Do you think a turnaround is possible for the disgraced pop star? Why or why not?

An extraordinary story – the real life story of best-selling author, Judy Nunn, is as packed full of twists and turns as any one of her novels.
From her idyllic childhood in Perth to an acting career as a favourite in iconic shows like Prisoner, Sons and Daughters, Home and Away and The Box. Judy’s transition as a storyteller, from actress to writer, began with a casual conversation at a party in the early 1980s that led to a job writing for a new TV series called Neighbours.
Today, with over one million copies of her books sold worldwide, Judy Nunn is one of Australia’s most successful authors. In 2015 she was made a Member of the Order of Australia for her “significant service to the performing arts as a scriptwriter and actor of stage and screen, and to literature as an author.”
Judy will be with us on Tuesday 14th November at Springwood Library to talk about her new novel, Sanctuary, her writing and, daresay, how she got to where she is now. If you are a fan of Judy Nunn, join us at Springwood Library, 2pm. $10 per ticket – book at any Library branch, online via our website or call 4723 5040 for information.


This article was originally published on NationalPainReport.com. It is being republished here with permission from the editor.
Last week, pop star Lady Gaga confirmed via Twitter she has fibromyalgia. The announcement came as part of the publicity for her upcoming documentary, Lady Gaga: Five Foot Two, debuting on Netflix on Sept. 22, in which she shares her life with chronic pain.
USA Today, People magazine, CBS News and other mainstream media immediately picked up on the announcement and published articles about Lady Gaga’s new diagnosis, likely reaching an audience of people who may have never heard of fibromyalgia. It’s a huge win for fibromyalgia warriors who have been struggling to be seen for decades.
Without a doubt, having someone of Lady Gaga’s popularity who is publicly sharing her life of chronic pain is going to give a major boost to fibromyalgia awareness. It’s the equivalent of when Michael J. Fox announced he had Parkinson’s disease or when Magic Johnson went public with his HIV diagnosis. More people will now have a basic understanding of what fibromyalgia is.
It also lends more credibility to an illness that’s still considered by some to be a wastebasket diagnosis.
My hope is Lady Gaga’s documentary will give an accurate depiction of what it’s like to live with fibromyalgia. I so want her to be the ambassador we’ve needed for many years. Hopefully, too, she will be open to using some of her financial resources to fund future fibromyalgia research.
All that being said, her public acknowledgement of her diagnosis will likely be a doubled-edged sword. She will face the same scrutiny nearly all of us have. The truth is she doesn’t look sick. Not one bit. In fact, when she’s performing on stage, she looks downright fierce and unstoppable.
And therein lies the problem. Because she appears healthy, it will send a message to some that fibromyalgia is no big deal – that it must not be the debilitating condition so many of us claim it to be.
How many of our family members, friends and even doctors will watch Lady Gaga perform on the next music awards show and think, “Well, if she can move like that with fibromyalgia, why is my [wife, mother, friend, patient, etc.] claiming she can’t even get out of bed [or work or clean house or whatever activity that’s too difficult because of having fibromyalgia]? She must be making it up!”
We are in a situation where we desperately need more awareness for fibromyalgia so that it leads to better understanding, more research and ultimately effective treatments. But does Lady Gaga convey that as she tours the world and performs her choreographed dance moves night after night? I guess we will see.
Update: As you may have read, Lady Gaga was hospitalized in Brazil on Sept. 14 for severe pain and has postponed her European tour. Sadly, critics have already accused her of faking her illness. Please join me in sending healing thoughts to our fellow fibro warrior for a speedy recovery. I hope her doctors will be able to bring her flare under control as quickly as possible.
Now it’s your turn: What would be your best advice to Lady Gaga as she undergoes treatment for fibromyalgia? Do you think her diagnosis is good or bad for the fibro community in general?

KIM CLEMENT’S TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL JACKSON 1958-2009
We, at Kim Clement Ministries, would like to send our deepest condolences and prayers to Michael Jackson’s three children and the rest of the Jackson family.
I was honored to meet Michael and pray in his studio in 1994, while he was recording the History album. Just recently, it was his desire to make his music more spiritual and he reached out to Andre and Sandra Crouch, who prayed with him.
God is faithful and good. He saw Michael’s deep desire to be closer to the Holy Spirit and honored that. God knew what was to happen and prepared Michael for this.
Michael changed the way people sang and how they danced. He changed the way records were produced and engineered. He changed the music video and how music was marketed and sold. He was undoubtably one of the most recognizable entertainers in the world.
Though he was plagued with controversy over the years, somehow he always survived and fought through. I prayed for him many times and knew God would deal with him graciously and tenderly before his untimely death. I thank God for this.
Michael Jackson, thank you for leaving us your music to enjoy. Now be with the one and only creator of music and the lover of your soul – Jesus Christ.

Is the Whole Kapil Sharma Controversy an Example of Bad Social Media Management?
Our day does not pass without talking about Facebook or Instagram or Twitter. We read it in newspapers about some celebrity posting something on twitter, it becomes hype. But what we always don’t know is the truth behind it.
The famous “KAPIL SHARMA FIASCO”. Everyone has been talking about it lately. Kapil Sharma or THE Kapil Sharma is a stand-up comedian whose show airs on Sony Entertainment Television, every Saturday and Sunday evening 9.30pm. His show is said to be the top platform to promote their new project or should I say WAS said to be the top platform before the big fiasco. He runs this show with the artists Sunil Grover, Ali Asgar, Kiku Sharda, Chandan Prabhakar, Rochelle Rao as well as Sumona Chakravarti and Sugandha Mishra.
He has more than 8 million followers on twitter and Instagram and more than
25 lakhs followers on Facebook, which makes him one of the most popular celebrities in country like India where we have population of 1.3 billion people.
Everyone, especially on Twitter started bashing him and all these happened, because of a feud between the stars of the show – Kapil and Sunil, which got blown out of the proportion after Kapil hurled a shoe at Sunil.
It was said, Kapil Sharma was traveling for his show in the flight. He was drunk and one of his co-stars tried to have lunch before him. So, in rage, he threw a flying shoe towards him. Everyone tried to calm him but he was unstoppable. The victim is supposedly said to be Sunil Grover. So much has already been written and read about it, so let’s not get into that.
Despite celebrating the completion of 100 episodes on The Kapil Sharma show last week, the show failed to attract people to set their eyes on television screens which were once glued to them because of Kapil.
The trend of declining popularity has also reflected on YouTube. The latest episode of The Kapil Sharma Show featuring Taapsee Pannu and Manoj Bajpayee received more dislikes than likes on the video streaming site. The episode crossed the 6,035,513 views mark but only managed to receive 35,300 likes; where as the number of dislikes is 134,658.
on Indian express, The Kapil Sharma show is soon to shut down and will be replaced by Salman Khan’s show Dus Ka Dum. The dipping ratings have made show producers and channel producers think about shutting off the show. This feud made Sunil, Ali, Chandan and Sugandha leave the show and they, then never return. His show is not only left by his co-stars but also been given up by celebrities. A weak line-up of celebrity guests, old repeated jokes, and Kapil’s dull face — all have led to a drastic fall of the show in terms of TRPs.
There was a time when Kapil’s show rules hearts of many and he was the king, but post-feud it is being taken over by other reality shows like Nach Baliye 8 and Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Li’l Champs.
We wonder, if the social media team would have been diligent, this could have been stopped. For a celebrity, his image and career is everything and one such incident could destroy this. The first official tweet from Kapil after the feud came out as dry and not-at-all heartfelt. From then the things took down the hill.
A better social media management could have handled this responsibly with more sensibility towards the issue and people involved.


Fidel Castro passed away on November 25, 2016, at the age of 90. Castro is considered to be one of the most notable cigar smokers of all time. Cigar Aficionado has him ranked as No. 3, behind Churchill and Kennedy. Cohiba cigars were his favorite, but because of health reasons, he gave up cigars at the age of 59, back in 1985. In 2008, he resigned as President of Cuba. Although he is now gone for good, he will still remain a symbol of Cuban Communism and of course, cigars.

She was very sad, and she was begging her father to let her stay with her brother, but her father rejected her. After a few years she had many friends in the school, although she was popular, she was not good at study, her grades were not so good. In 1975 her family moved to Althorp, and she became Lady Diana Spencer (Spencer was her family name before she married), and her younger brother became Lord Spencer. When she was 18 years old, she started to work.
Diana and Charles was met in 1977 on a party, and before they met, Charles was dating Diana’s sister Elizabeth. The first time they met, Charles said Diana is a very charming woman, then he invited Diana to join his 30 years old birthday party. After that in July, 1980.

Lance Kendricks, class of 2007, was a star in and out of the classroom at Rufus King. Kendricks was offered six college scholarships for football and in the end opted to become a Badger, joining the UW–Madison football team as a wide receiver. At the end of his first season, his coaches switched him to tight end. By the time he was a senior, he was an All-American tight end and went into the 2011 NFL draft ranked fourth in his position. He was drafted in the second round by the St. Louis Rams, where he just finished his third season.
Speaking about Rufus King, “On the first day, my English teacher Andrew Dockert told us, ‘Always think outside of the box’,” says Kendricks. “I remember that advice to this day. There are always other ways to learn and do things. I’m always ready to get better and do things differently.”
He says he got where he is today by being positive and always striving to be better. “There’s never a moment where I feel like I’ve done everything, so there’s always room to grow.”
Christopher Glenn, class of 2010, started his music career at the age of 14 years old and has had a few of his songs in rotation on radio in Milwaukee.

Overall, The Telegraph did a decent job presenting both sides of the acrimonious divorce between Amber Heard and Johnny Depp last year. But one article, in which the conservative British newspaper delved into the actress' financials, was an exception: it downplayed her claims of domestic violence and stopped just short of calling her a gold digger.
The article began by highlighting Heard's "financial woes" - she had been "losing significant sums" and was now "demanding $50,000 a month from the actor". It takes time to inform readers that Depp is busy promoting a new children's movie and touring with his band. Meanwhile, Heard's claims of spousal abuse are relegated to a single clause, immediately followed by a denial and a counter-punch. “She has accused him of domestic violence – something his friends and representatives have strongly denied, hitting back by claiming she has made the accusations to gain a greater share of his fortune.”
The rest of the article is taken up with an analysis of her financials. Heard earns roughly $120,000 a year from her business interests, before receiving payment for films she appears in, and netted a total of $250,000 in the previous year. Her basic monthly income is around $10,000, but she spends nearly $44,000 every month on rent, entertainment, gifts, vacations, clothes, eating out, paying her publicist and other expenses. The obvious implication is that she's haemorrhaging cash and hopes to secure a chunk of Depp's fortune.
It's understandable that the author, looking at the gaping hole in Heard's finances, presumed her primary motivation for marrying then divorcing Depp, a man more than 20 years her senior, was money. The final line reads: "It has been suggested that Miss Heard would be in line for a minimum payout of $15 million – the equivalent of $1 million for every month they were married."
That line of thinking looks dead wrong in hindsight. After the couple reached an out-of-court settlement in August, Heard pledged to donate the full $7m payout to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), in order to combat domestic violence, and the Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles. TMZ reported in November that she gave $350,000 to the ACLU within days of the deal. But Depp, who reportedly decided to donate the money himself, had apparently only paid $100,000 to each organisation.
Apart from seemingly misjudging the situation, the article also fails to entertain the idea that Heard might be a genuine victim of domestic violence. Heard filed for divorce and took out a restraining order against Depp in May: she claimed he threw his iPhone into her face, and provided pictures of the injuries. "During the entirety of our relationship Johnny has been verbally and physically abusive to me," she said. "I endured excessive emotional, verbal and physical abuse which has included angry, hostile, humiliating and threatening assaults to me whenever I questioned his authority or disagreed with him." The bruises and her statement should have been ample reason for the media to give her the benefit of the doubt.
The evidence mounted in August, after the Telegraph article was published. Pictures emerged showing Depp - drunk and high on ecstasy, according to Heard's lawyers - writing in blood on the wall, after allegedly smashing glasses and windows. A video was also leaked showing Depp swearing, kicking furniture and saying "I'll show you crazy". Depp's lawyers claimed the video was heavily edited, and that Heard smiled and egged her husband on.
“I underestimated the toll that this difficult few months have taken on me, emotionally and physically, and the efforts made by the media to intimidate and discredit me,” Heard said after the settlement. “As described in the restraining order and divorce settlement, money played no role for me personally and never has, except to the extent that I could donate it to charity and, in doing so, hopefully help those less able to defend themselves."
Heard's lawyers made sure the pair's joint statement following the settlement included this line: "Neither party has made false accusations for financial gains." The takeaway for media outlets? Don't assume every young, cash-strapped starlet who marries and divorces a rich, older and more famous man is a lying gold digger.
