3 Bahadur return!

Get ready for 3 Bahadur 2: The Revenge of Baba Balaam, hitting the cinemas on December 15, 2016. A sequel to Pakistan’s first animated feature film released last year, this is an epic tale of friendship, teamwork and courage, centred around three kids, Amna, Saadi and Kaamil.

The three, with their special powers and courage, are not afraid to face any challenge and come to the rescue when evil strikes in the form of Baba Balaam, the sly and villainous sorcerer. What will be interesting to see is how the three Bahadurs fail the evil designs of Baba Balaam and his army to triumph over evil.


Taylor Swift Now!

Taylor Swift is officially one step closer to world domination. AT&T recently announced the launch of a new channel, called Taylor Swift Now, that will broadcast nothing but Taylor Swift–related content all day, every day.

Taylor Swift NOW is apparently a “specially curated video catalogue,” which will be available to AT&T customers through the company’s DIRECTV NOW streaming service. In a press release, AT&T noted that this video catalogue is the first of its kind, calling it “a new destination for unique and never seen Taylor Swift videos.”

Fresh Taylor Swift content will be “organised in themed chapters and packed with special glimpses into Taylor’s life and work spanning her entire career,” AT&T adds. “This will include original content with commentary from Taylor herself.”

AT&T vows that the catalogue “will be updated regularly with new videos and chapters for special events.”


Selena Gomez returns

Music superstar Selena Gomez has returned to Instagram, following a three-month absence.

“I have a lot to be thankful for this year... my year has been the hardest, yet most rewarding one,” the 24-year-old artist wrote in her post. “I’ve finally fought the fight of not ‘being enough’. I have only wanted to reflect the love you guys have given me for years and show how important it is to take care of YOU. By grace through faith. Kindness always wins. I love you guys. God bless.”

Recently Gomez made headlines when she gave an emotional speech at the American Music Awards ceremony.

The singer has avoided the spotlight since announcing in August she is suffering from lupus and would take a break from work to focus on her health.
