Congratulations - you’ve powered through the week! Now’s the time to wrap up, reflect, and recharge for next week’s adventures.
But before we start, here’s a lil fun task for you:
📌 Work hard, finish smart, and savor the weekend ahead!
Now, let’s get started…
🎯 Dua Lipa and Callum Turner are reportedly engaged!
The buzz started when eagle-eyed fans spotted a sparkly diamond ring in Dua’s Christmas Instagram post. And now, The Sun has confirmed it - Callum popped the question, and Dua said yes!
Sources say the couple is head over heels and planning an epic New Year’s Eve party in London to celebrate. They've been inseparable since sparking dating rumors earlier this year, and honestly, it sounds like a fairytale ending to an incredible year for Dua.
🎯 These fast food giants don’t use ‘real whole eggs’ in their breakfasts
A report shows big names like Starbucks, Dunkin’, Subway, Chick-fil-A, and Burger King use egg products loaded with additives like water, starch, and gums - totally USDA-approved, but not exactly 100% eggs. Meanwhile, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Panera, Wendy’s, and Whataburger are serving the real deal.
Surprising, right? Next time you grab a breakfast sandwich, you might want to check what’s actually in it. After all, wouldn't you prefer your eggs to be just… eggs?
🎯 Pizza delivery woman stabs pregnant customer 14 times
Here’s a wild story from Florida: A pizza delivery worker got so furious over a $2 tip that she returned to the customer’s motel and stabbed her 14 times! The victim, celebrating a birthday with her family, gave the worker a $50 bill for a $33 order but could only tip $2 when no change was available. The delivery driver came back with an accomplice, attacked the woman, and fled.
Thankfully, the victim is stable and later learned she’s pregnant. The worker’s been arrested, but her accomplice is still on the run.
🎯 Oh, and Moo Deng just got married
The Ethereum cofounder made a massive donation of nearly $294,000 to Khao Kheow Open Zoo, where Moo Deng lives. This adorable hippo, born in July, has become a huge star, even boosting zoo ticket sales by 50%!
Vitalik shared that his donation was a thank-you for the warm welcome he received in Thailand. He’s now Moo Deng’s adoptive father and even set aside 88 ether to support the cause.
🎯 Lastly, Chinese women are faking baby bump photos
It's called "pre-set maternity photos," and it's exactly what it sounds like - young, single women who aren’t pregnant, but are wearing fake bellies to take maternity photos. It’s all about capturing that youthful, slim moment before the inevitable body changes of pregnancy.
This craze started after a popular influencer, Meizi Gege, posted a video showing off her "maternity" photoshoot, where she proudly flaunted her fake belly. It quickly went viral, with women commenting how they were inspired to do the same. Some even took maternity photos in their early 20s, even though they weren’t married or expecting!
While it’s clearly a fun way to freeze time and capture memories, there’s been some pushback. Critics argue that it promotes unrealistic beauty standards, making women feel pressured to look young and slim even during pregnancy. It's sparked some hilarious responses too - one person joked about taking their funeral photos ahead of time to look young forever!
In the middle of China’s declining marriage and birth rates, this trend says a lot about how people are rethinking traditions and creating their own ways of celebrating life.
