The entertainment world is thrown into mourning after the tragic death of Imani Dia Smith, a former Broadway child star best known for playing Young Nala in Disney’s The Lion King. The 25-year-old actress was stabbed to death in her home on December 21, 2025, and her boyfriend, 35-year-old Jordan D. Jackson-Small, has been arrested and charged in connection with her killing.
According to authorities, Edison police responded to a 911 call around 9:18 a.m. on December 21 reporting a stabbing at a residence in Edison, New Jersey. Officers found Imani Dia Smith with multiple stab wounds and rushed her to Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, where she was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
Law enforcement officials confirmed that the incident was not random Smith and the suspect knew each other prior to the attack.
Jackson-Small was arrested without incident and now faces a series of serious charges, including:
First-degree murder
Second-degree endangering the welfare of a child
Third-degree possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose
Fourth-degree unlawful possession of a weapon
He is currently being held at the Middlesex County Adult Correctional Center pending further legal proceedings.
Prosecutors emphasized that this appears to be a known and personal incident, not a random act of violence.
Who Was Imani Dia Smith?
Imani Dia Smith first gained public attention as a child performer on Broadway, starring as Young Nala in the acclaimed stage production of Disney’s The Lion King from September 27, 2011, to September 23, 2012. The role portraying the childhood version of Nala introduced her talent to theatre audiences worldwide.
Beyond The Lion King, Smith pursued her artistic journey as a triple-threat performer; excelling in acting, singing, and dancing and was remembered by family and friends as vivacious, loving, and fiercely talented.
News of Smith’s death has prompted an outpouring of grief across social media and entertainment circles, especially given the timing during the holiday season.
The untimely death of Imani Dia Smith at just 25 is a devastating loss, both personally for her family and professionally for fans who remember her talent from Broadway’s The Lion King. With her boyfriend now facing multiple serious charges, the case continues to develop and is likely to draw further legal scrutiny in the coming weeks. A grieving family and community are left to honour her memory and rally around her young son.

The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON 2025) served up another intense round of fixtures on December 24, as four nations Burkina Faso, Algeria, Ivory Coast, and Cameroon picked up crucial victories that immediately shift the tone of their group campaigns.
From late drama to composed finishes, the day highlighted how quickly momentum can change in tournament football.
Burkina Faso 2–1 Equatorial Guinea
Burkina Faso produced the most dramatic moment of the day, sealing a 2–1 comeback win in the dying minutes. Equatorial Guinea looked set for all three points until the Stallions flipped the script in stoppage time.
A 95th-minute equaliser sparked the turnaround, before a towering late header completed the comeback. The result instantly places Burkina Faso among the teams to watch, not just for points but for mentality.
Algeria 3–0 Sudan
Algeria were the most dominant side of the matchday, claiming a 3–0 win over Sudan with confidence and control from start to finish.
A brace from Riyad Mahrez set the tempo, before a late third goal wrapped up the performance. Sudan struggled to contain Algeria’s midfield rotations and wide combinations, allowing the North African giants to start fast in their group.
Ivory Coast 1–0 Mozambique
Reigning champions Ivory Coast opened their title defence with a 1–0 win against Mozambique, choosing efficiency over spectacle. The Elephants controlled key moments rather than the full tempo of the match, and a second-half strike made the difference.
Mozambique defended bravely and forced Ivory Coast into careful build-up play, but the champions’ composure in decisive moments held firm.
Cameroon 1–0 Gabon
Cameroon joined the winners’ column with a 1–0 win against Gabon, in a match defined by discipline rather than chaos. The Indomitable Lions capitalised on their best chance of the game and then managed the rhythm well enough to close out the result.
Gabon had opportunities of their own but lacked the precision needed in the final third.
Netflix has officially released the first trailer for the highly anticipated Peaky Blinders movie, confirming that Thomas Shelby is returning to the screen. Mark your calendars: the movie will premiere on Netflix worldwide on March 20, 2026.
Titled Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man, the film continues the saga of the Shelby family after the events of the critically acclaimed TV series. Cillian Murphy continues his iconic role as Tommy Shelby, bringing back the same cold, calculated, and charming gangster fans have loved since 2013.

Prime Video is expanding the Fallout franchise again and this time it’s not another TV drama. The streamer is developing a reality competition series inspired by the cult-favorite Fallout Shelter game, aiming to bring the strategic survival gameplay of Fallout into real-world competition.
Here’s the full breakdown of what’s known so far, the context behind it, and why this could become one of the most talked-about unscripted shows of the next year.
What Is Fallout Shelter and Why It’s a Big Deal
Before we talk about the show, it helps to understand the game it is based on.
Fallout Shelter is a famed mobile and console game in the Fallout universe in which players act as the Overseer of a Vault, an underground shelter built to protect humanity after a nuclear apocalypse.
In the game you must:
Build and expand your Vault
Manage essential resources like food, water, and power
Assign dwellers to roles based on their skills
Defend against threats from the Wasteland
Balance risk, growth, and survival
This blend of strategy, resource management and human storytelling gives Fallout Shelter its unique appeal and it’s the foundation Prime Video will use for its competition format.
What the Fallout Shelter Gameshow Is About
According to recent reports, Prime Video is creating a reality competition series titled Fallout Shelter.
Here’s what we know:
The show will take contestants (real people) and put them in scenarios similar to Fallout Shelter. Instead of battling mutants and raiders, competitors will manage their own Vault-style environments, balancing resources, growth and survival goals.
This mirrors the core gameplay loop of the original game: strategic thinking under pressure.
According to reports, Prime Video explicitly wants the show to resemble other popular competition formats like Squid Game: The Challenge — where contestants face tactical, high-stakes challenges over weeks of episodic competition.
That means multiple contestants will likely compete over rounds, with eliminations, twists, and collaborative challenges that test how well they can manage people and resources in an environment under stress.
Production Creative Team
While full details haven’t been revealed yet, early reporting suggests Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy executive producers of the Fallout TV series are involved with the gameshow project alongside Bethesda, the game’s original developer.
This alignment with the main Fallout narrative universe gives the show credibility and continuity within the broader franchise.
Timing and Status
Prime Video has confirmed the project is in development, and filming is expected to begin in 2026.
The Fallout franchise is enjoying a massive increase in mainstream interest thanks to its live-action TV adaptation on Prime Video which has already been renewed for Season 3 amid strong audience demand.
Shows like Squid Game: The Challenge and Beast Games resonate because they combine tactics, human drama, teamwork and competition elements Fallout Shelter was built around.
As more details surface including casting, premiere date, and format specifics, this article will be updated to keep you fully informed.
Hollywood has long been an industry where age, gender, and bargaining power heavily influenced earnings. For decades, major paydays were reserved for older, male led box office names, while young actresses were often underpaid relative to their cultural impact. That narrative is now changing.
A new generation of actresses under 30 are not only leading blockbuster films and streaming hits, but are also commanding multi-million-dollar paychecks, producer credits, and lucrative brand partnerships. While exact figures are rarely disclosed publicly, industry reports, studio leaks, and trade publications provide a clearer picture of who currently sits at the top of Hollywood’s young earners list.
Below is a breakdown of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood under 30, based on reported film salaries from recent projects (2024–2025). Where figures are not officially confirmed, they are clearly treated as industry estimates, not absolute facts.
Zendaya (Age 28)
Zendaya currently stands as one of the most powerful young actresses in Hollywood, both commercially and culturally.
She reportedly earned around $10 million for her role in Luca Guadagnino’s Challengers, marking a major leap from her early Disney Channel beginnings. Beyond acting, Zendaya has steadily positioned herself as a brand in her own right, serving as a producer, fashion icon, and global ambassador for luxury houses.
Her Emmy-winning performance in Euphoria strengthened her negotiating power, proving that prestige television can be just as financially rewarding as theatrical releases. Studios now see Zendaya not just as talent, but as a guaranteed audience draw.
Zendaya’s pay reflects a shift toward rewarding cultural relevance, not just box office history.
Millie Bobby Brown (Age 21)
Millie Bobby Brown became a household name before she turned 15, and she has successfully turned early fame into long-term leverage.
She reportedly earned about $10 million for Enola Holmes 2, a figure that placed her among the highest-paid young actresses globally at the time. Crucially, Brown is not just the star of the franchise; she also serves as a producer, which significantly boosts her earnings beyond upfront salary.
Her ongoing relationship with Netflix has been central to her rise, highlighting how streaming platforms are reshaping Hollywood pay structures for young stars.
Sydney Sweeney (Age 27)
Following standout performances in Euphoria and The White Lotus, Sweeney reportedly earned approximately $7–7.5 million for upcoming film projects, including high-profile studio releases. In addition to acting, she has leveraged her popularity into multiple endorsement deals, further increasing her total earnings.
Sweeney has also been vocal about Hollywood’s financial realities, previously stating that acting alone is often not enough to sustain a career, a comment that sparked wider industry conversations.
Her earnings highlight the growing importance of brand partnerships alongside acting salaries.
Florence Pugh (Age 29)
Florence Pugh has built a reputation as one of her generation’s most respected dramatic actresses, balancing indie credibility with blockbuster appeal.
She reportedly earned around $7 million for recent major studio roles, including Marvel projects. Pugh’s ability to move seamlessly between prestige films and franchise entries has made her highly valuable to studios seeking both critical acclaim and commercial success.
Unlike some of her peers, Pugh’s rise has been driven more by performance reputation than social media visibility.
Jenna Ortega (Age 22)
Jenna Ortega’s career experienced a dramatic acceleration following the global success of Netflix’s Wednesday.
Since then, she has reportedly earned around $6 million for recent film roles, with her profile continuing to rise. Ortega has also taken on producer responsibilities, signaling a long-term strategy focused on creative control as much as earnings.
Her appeal to younger audiences has made her especially valuable in an era where studios are aggressively targeting Gen Z viewers.
Anya Taylor-Joy (Age 28)
Anya Taylor-Joy occupies a slightly different space on this list.
While her reported salary for Furiosa is estimated at around $1.5–2 million, her overall career value extends beyond single-project paydays. Taylor-Joy’s strength lies in her versatility; leading both arthouse films and major franchises and her long-term earning potential remains strong.
It is also worth noting that salary structures vary significantly by role type, franchise stage, and backend deals, which are rarely public.
The Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 continued with a packed matchday as Senegal, Nigeria, DR Congo, and Tunisia all picked up important victories, further shaping the early group-stage.
From dominant displays to hard-fought wins, the day’s action highlighted the competitiveness already defining the tournament.
Senegal vs Botswana
Senegal produced one of the most convincing performances of the day, defeating Botswana 3–0 in their Group D opener.
Nicolas Jackson led the charge with two goals, while Chérif Ndiaye added a late third to complete a comfortable win. Senegal controlled the match throughout and quickly established themselves as early favourites in the group.
Nigeria vs Tanzania in Tight Group C Clash
The Super Eagles of Nigeria opened their AFCON 2025 campaign with a 2–1 win over Tanzania in a closely contested Group C encounter.
Nigeria took the lead through Semi Ajayi, but Tanzania responded to level the score and push the match into a tense battle. The decisive moment arrived in the second half when Ademola Lookman scored the winner, securing all three points for the Super Eagles.
DR Congo Narrow Victory Over Benin
In Group D, DR Congo claimed a vital 1–0 victory against Benin in a match decided by fine margins.
An early strike from Théo Bongonda proved enough, as the Leopards remained disciplined defensively to protect their lead and claim maximum points.
Tunisia vs Uganda 3–1 Win
Tunisia completed the day’s action with an impressive 3–1 victory over Uganda in Group C.
The Carthage Eagles showed attacking intent and control, scoring three times to overwhelm Uganda despite resistance from the Cranes. The result gives Tunisia a strong start and places them level on points with Nigeria in the group standings.
As AFCON 2025 continues, attention now turns to the next round of group fixtures, where consistency and squad depth will be tested.
Fans of Avatar: The Last Airbender will no longer be seeing Aang return to the big screen at least not in cinemas. Paramount has officially changed plans for The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender, confirming that the animated movie will no longer receive a theatrical release. Instead, the film will now premiere exclusively on Paramount+ on October 9, 2026.
The decision marks a significant shift for one of the most beloved animated franchises of the 21st century and raises questions about the future of major animated releases in an era increasingly dominated by streaming platforms.
Originally announced as a wide theatrical release, The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender was positioned as a major cinematic return to the Avatar universe. The film is being produced by Avatar Studios, the in-house studio formed by franchise creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, in partnership with Paramount.
However, new reports confirm that Paramount has scrapped its theatrical plans entirely, opting instead for a streaming-only debut on Paramount+. The October 9, 2026 date remains unchanged, but the distribution strategy has shifted.
Paramount has not publicly detailed the specific reasons for the move, but industry observers point to changing box office realities, rising production and marketing costs, and Paramount+’s need for exclusive franchise content as likely factors.
About The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender
The upcoming film is an animated continuation of the original Avatar: The Last Airbender series, focusing on Aang in his later years, well after the events of the Nickelodeon classic that aired from 2005 to 2008.
While full plot details are still under wraps, the movie is expected to:
Explore Aang’s responsibilities as the Avatar in a more mature phase of his life
Expand the Avatar universe beyond the original TV series
Serve as a bridge between Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra
The project is part of a larger Avatar Studios roadmap, which includes multiple animated films and series set across different eras of the Avatar timeline.
Fan Reactions: Mixed Feelings
The announcement has sparked mixed reactions among fans.
On one hand:
Some viewers welcome the convenience of a home release
Streaming ensures global accessibility on day one
The film may reach younger audiences more easily
On the other hand:
Many fans feel the Avatar universe deserves the cinematic experience
The move has been described by some as a “downgrade,” even if the production quality remains high
Concerns linger about whether streaming-first releases receive the same long-term cultural impact as theatrical films
Still, Paramount insists the decision does not reflect a lack of confidence in the project.
The decision to move The Legend of Aang: The Last Airbender exclusively to Paramount+ reflects the realities of modern entertainment, where streaming platforms increasingly shape how stories are told and consumed.
While fans may miss the theatrical experience, the film’s arrival in 2026 still represents a major moment for the Avatar universe one that will bring Aang back into focus for a new generation, even if it happens from the comfort of home.
Nigerian content creator Carter Efe’s Twitch account has been reinstated, days after the platform placed it under a temporary suspension.
The update was confirmed after the account, “carterefe,” became accessible again on Twitch, indicating that the platform has lifted the restriction imposed following a review of his content.
Twitch had earlier issued a temporary global suspension, citing violations of its Terms of Service and Community Guidelines, a decision Carter Efe publicly acknowledged by sharing the suspension email on X (formerly Twitter). The platform, however, did not disclose specific details about the content that led to the action.
With the suspension now lifted, Carter Efe is cleared to resume streaming and normal activities on Twitch, marking a quick turnaround in a situation that drew attention across Nigerian social media and the creator community.
Streamdorm will provide further updates if new details emerge.
