Raashii Khanna, an actress in the upcoming Pawan Kalyan movie Ustaad Bhagat Singh, wrapped filming and got sentimental on Instagram. She posted behind-the-scenes photos from the set, thanking the year for its lessons as the Harish Shankar-directed project finished. Her character in the film is named Shloka.
She called working with Kalyan a real honor in a previous post, sharing a selfie with the lead actor. The production company Mythri Movie Makers also showed her first look, mentioning her role would bring grace to the story. This movie marks her first time acting alongside Kalyan, though she has worked with director Shankar before on films like Hyper.
Other cast members include Sreeleela and Parthiban. Khanna also dropped some BTS...
Celine Dion posted a weird Instagram video dressed as the Grinch. She wore full green makeup and sat by a fire with a dog in antlers, presumably her version of Max. In the clip, she did a bit about stealing Christmas, mocking her own busy schedule with fake appointments like solving world hunger and scrolling TikTok. She mixed in talk-singing parts of her hit cover of All by Myself, the Eric Carmen song from 1975 that she made famous in 1996.
The whole thing was a parody of the Jim Carrey movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas. She recited a messed-up version of the Grinch's daily planner from that film. Her fake agenda included jazzercise, dinner with herself, and wrestling with creative ideas. She ended the bit by starting to actually...
Kenya dropped the junior secondary exam results, and Education CS Julius Migos said students can grab them online through the ministry portal or by texting their assessment number to 22263 for 30 shillings. The competency-based curriculum system grades kids differently from the old setup by checking how well they actually learned skills instead of just ranking test scores against each other.
Migos explained the assessment serves three purposes: measuring if students hit the required competency levels, helping place them into senior school tracks like STEM or arts based on their strengths, and giving feedback to guide their next educational steps. The exams included written tests and dry projects, with some subjects getting two papers...
A video of reality TV personality Vera Sidika milking cows kicked off a major online discussion. Kenyans reacted with a blend of admiration, jokes, and straight-up skepticism after she posted the clip during the holidays. It showed the influencer walking into a shed and performing the rural task, a sight far from her usual glamorous image.
She first posted photos with a caption calling herself a village baddie and saying milking was a Christmas must. This prompted a user to demand proof it was real, asking to see actual milk. Vera responded with the video, where she pets a cow, sits on a stone, and milks it into a metal bucket. She captioned the clip by calling herself not your ordinary baddie and wishing everyone a merry Christmas...
HoRNet Plugins is giving away a free tape saturation effect called TapeLite. They are calling it a Christmas gift for music makers. This plugin is a simpler take on their more advanced Tape MK2 product, aiming to deliver that classic analog warmth with a very straightforward layout.

It emulates two tape speeds for different tones, uses fixed oversampling for cleaner sound, and stays easy on your computer's processor. The interface also switches between light and dark modes to match your...
Igor Vasiliev has released an update for the ExoSphere ambient music app. Version one point two is now available for both iOS and macOS systems. The app is designed to build continuous, drifting soundscapes using five separate sound layers that blend together.
This update adds a few functional tweaks. Users can now hit a play button to audition audio files directly within the file manager. There is also a new play button in the sample selection panel for previewing sounds before assigning them to a layer. A visual indicator at the top of each column shows recording progress and how much loop data is being used. The file manager now displays more detailed information about each audio file.
The developer also fixed a bug related to...
PSPaudioware dropped a new free plugin called the stereoAnalyser2. It is an advanced stereo meter made to give you a clear picture of your stereo field while you work on recording, mixing, or mastering tasks.

A new plugin called Chord Dock just dropped from k2get. It works as a MIDI chord track inside your DAW, letting you plot out and see chord progressions on a timeline. This is made for music software that lacks this kind of built-in feature.
It comes in two flavors. There is a free Lite version with the basic workflow and essential chords. The paid Extended version adds more advanced stuff like tension and slash chords, a Circle of Fifths view, and better tools for snapping notes and adjusting durations.
You can get Chord Dock on both macOS and Windows, as either a VST3 or AU plugin. The Extended edition is on an introductory sale right now, going for twenty-nine dollars instead of the usual thirty-nine.
