Grammy-winning singer P!nk spent New Year’s Eve in the hospital having disc replacement surgery in her neck.

On social media, she reflected on the procedure as a way to care for her body, calling it “a new scar, a new reminder” to appreciate her health.

The 46-year-old emphasised choosing positivity and joy, writing that she plans to “rage against the dying of the light” and keep seeking the light even through difficult times.

Marvel’s Wonder Man series introduces Simon Williams in live-action for the first time, with all eight episodes streaming on Disney+ from January 27 at 6pm PT.

The show follows aspiring actor Simon navigating Hollywood, alongside Trevor Slattery and legendary director Von Kovak, in a subversive take on the entertainment industry.

Reports suggest the series may not reveal how Simon gained his powers. In the comics, he inherited Williams Innovations, was manipulated by Baron Zemo to infiltrate the Avengers, sacrificed himself and later joined the team after resurrection. Fans may get little explanation in the show itself.

LEGO sets inspired by Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters are reportedly in development, according to a Brick Tap source. The rumoured sets may feature minidolls instead of traditional LEGO minifigures, a design that is styled taller and more realistic in proportion and often aimed at girls.

While minidolls are controversial among LEGO fans for compatibility and stereotype concerns, the choice fits the movie’s audience. No details on set size, specific characters or release dates have been confirmed, though other KPop Demon Hunters merchandise from Mattel, Hasbro and Funko Pop! is expected in 2026.
