MrBeast plans to drop archived video from 10 years ago
Popular YouTube star MrBeast recently announced he will be sharing an incredibly old video in two years' time. Back in 2015, Jimmy ‘MrBeast’ Donaldson created a three-minute clip addressed to his future self. At the time of recording, the internet star was believed to have had around 8,000 subscribers. "When I had a few thousand subscribers I made a video predicting how many subscribers I'd have in 10 years and schedule [sic] it to manually go public in 10 years,” he wrote on X/Twitter, along with a screenshot of the video titled, “Hi Me in 10 Years”. Excited fans soon flooded the announcement, with one writing: “Hey Siri, set reminder for MrBeast’s Hi Me in 10 years video.” Another added: “If only your younger self knew where you would be today…” “Hard work and dedication for the win,” one X user said. Meanwhile, a third humoured: “I’m gonna make a video predicting what you predicted in the video you made but not release it until 10 years from now” It comes after the YouTuber spoke out against deepfakes when his face fronted an AI scam. A clip recently surfaced on social media which showed MrBeast “giving away iPhones”. "You’re one of the 10,000 lucky people who will get an iPhone 15 pro for just $2," the AI version of MrBeast said in the clip. "I’m MrBeast and I am doing the world’s largest iPhone 15 giveaway." The clip then encouraged viewers to follow a link to "claim yours now!" The 25-year-old warned followers to not buy into it. "Lots of people are getting this deepfake scam ad of me… are social media platforms ready to handle the rise of AI deepfakes? This is a serious problem," he wrote on social media.

Women's World Cup final: Where to watch the Lionesses on the big screen in London
England are on the brink of sporting greatness after making it to the Women’s World Cup final. The Lionesses showed their quality to beat tournament co-hosts Australia 3-1 in their semi-final with Ella Toone, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo all scoring in a brilliant end-to-end game. Now, they have the chance to win their first ever World Cup, but they’ll face tough opposition from Spain on Sunday (August 20). It’s a massive opportunity for the Lionesses, who came heartbreakingly short with semi-final defeats in both 2015 and 2019. England manager Sarina Wiegman said she was “in a fairytale” after guiding England to the final for the first time, and anticipation is higher than ever after more than seven million people tuned in to watch the Australia game on the BBC. The final takes place at 11am on Sunday and there are plenty of places showing the game in the capital. As ever with such a big event, there's huge demand. Many screenings have sold out already and some in the list below will definitely be full capacity by Sunday. However, some venues have waiting lists for fans to register their interest. Just remember to book and double check you've got a spot before heading down. These are the places to catch the action on the big screen in London this Sunday. Canada Square Park Canada Square Park in Canary Wharf has been offering free screenings of sporting moments all summer, and they’re showing the final on Sunday too. It’s one of the few outdoor screenings so far advertised in the capital and spaces are dished out on a first come, first serve basis. There are two screens in the main park and then one in Cabot Square, too. As the website warns, “audience space is unreserved and limited and, due to the popularity of events, capacity can be reached within a short period of time. You may find areas closed on arrival due to reaching capacity”. 25 Canada Square, E14 5AH, canarywharf.com Vinegar Yard Vinegar Yard will be showing the big game on its al fresco screens, and while the entry is free, the venue is walk-in only and spots are allocated on a first come, first served basis. If you can get a spot, though, this central London venue is a great spot to take in the action and enjoy delicious food from a range of vendors on Sunday. 72-82 St Thomas St, SE1 3QX, vinegaryard.london Clapham Grand One of the best event spaces south of the river is opening up its doors again for the football. The venue will be open at 9:45am and the bars open at 10am. Bear in mind that tickets are selling fast, with only final release standing and un-reserved seating remaining, so get them booked while you can. Clapham Junction, 21-25 St John’s Hill, SW11 1TT, claphamgrand.com Boxpark (Shoreditch, Croydon and Wembley) – sold out It’s perhaps unsurprising that Boxpark sold out 2,500 tickets for its three venues straight after England beat Australia. Sadly, there’s no waiting list for fans to join, so fans without a spot have missed out on this occasion. Boxpark, various locations, boxpark.co.uk Flat Iron Square Enjoy the buzz of the game at Flat Iron Square in London Bridge, with the venue opening up early to welcome guests to catch the action on their screens. Book a table now to secure your spot. 45 Southwark St, SE1 9HP, flatironsquare.co.uk Peckham Arches Football fans in south London can check out Peckham Arches on Sunday, with the 600-capacity venue showing the game across multiple screens. There’s a 300-capacity garden terrace open from 10am which could be a perfect place to cheer the Lionesses – plus, there’s a pizza oven on hand and two bars with a great selection of cocktails on offer to keep fans in fine voice. Even better, entry is free. Blenheim Grove, SE15 4QN, peckhamarches.com Big Penny Social – join the waiting list Even Big Penny Social, the UK’s biggest beer hall in Walthamstow, is struggling for space on Sunday. The event is currently sold out, but fans can apply to join the waiting list in the hope of bagging a free ticket. With so many people cheering on the Lionesses, the atmosphere promises to be fantastic and the locally-brewed beer and pizzeria are worth the trip alone, too. 1 Priestley Way, E17 6AL, bigpennysocial.co.uk Signature Brew - join the waiting list Baller Friends Collective has been partnering with Signature Brew in Haggerston all summer to celebrate the Women’s World Cup and show the action. The events have proven popular and the screening party for the final on Sunday is currently sold out, however fans can register their interest and join the waiting list just in case.

Some of her entertaining videos include recreating scenes from Twilight with her friends, to doing TikTok transitions and trying out filters, Maisie knows how to have fun online. @lil.hustla excerpt from the greatest love story ever told. @laurelmarsden ? #twighlight #edwardcullen #bellaswan #fyp #love #zxycba #foryou "I love that you’re not verified and you are just normal like the rest of us. But with more money, probably," one fan commented one of her videos. She also may pop on your feed as she also has a film podcast called "Frank Film Club," with Hannah Williams, Lowri Roberts, described as "The club for lovers and makers of film," and clips of this are shared on TikTok. Elle Fanning Another celeb who joined TikTok under the radar is actor Elle Fanning, with the username @user6754189318472. From her profile, it's clear she loves an interactive filter and duetting influencers, creating parody versions of the original video. A fan wrote on one of Fanning's video's: "This account is so strange but I am here for it." Though Fanning's secret TikTok was revealed when she appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in January last year to promote second season of her historical comedy show The Great. @user6754189318472 #duet with @nmillz1 TWINS Jimmy asked Elle the TikTok account @/user6754189318472 is really her. “I confirm that is me,” she said. “I think in the first lockdown, right when everything started, TikTok so exploded. And I was with my friend and he was like, ‘You should make one. Let’s see what happens. Just do it. Don’t put a profile picture. Don’t change the name. Let’s see. "I posted and it got a lot of followers. TikTok then DM’ed me on my Instagram and was like, ‘You surpassed this certain number.’ Like, I was just doing it as a joke! I post when I want, but it’s silly. It’s like a little secret, not-so-secret now.” Stanley Tucci If you haven't been on TucciTok, then where the heck have you been? It's an undeniable fact that Stanley Tucci is an international treasure, and his TikTok presence, with 1.4m followers only solidifies this status. Acting isn't the only area Tucci excels in as the 62-year-old has various cooking videos ranging from risotto, a simple B.L.T., to pasta as breakfast leftovers, as well as taking us along on his adventures in Italy and trip to the UK, (the former for his CNN cooking show Searching for Italy and the latter for his book Taste). @stanley.tucci T bone and Risotto for Jenn’s birthday ?? "Stanley Tucci cooking is my comfort tiktok," a fan commented under one of his videos. Another said: "I want to have dinner at Stanley's house," while someone else added: "Love when Stanley pops up on my feed." Looks like we're all on the Tucci train. Jonas Brothers *(both collectively and individually) A lot of us Gen Z lot grew up watching and listening to the Jonas Brothers on Disney Channel, and they continue to entertain with new music along with a lively TikTok presence. From the trio collaborating to TikTok influencers such as Max Belegde, George Clarke, Jake Shane and Brookie and Jessie, they clearly have their finger on the pulse when it comes to what and who is popular on the platform. @brookieandjessie jonas siblings❤️ @Jonas Brothers But the three brothers also post on the individual profiles - with Joe having fun with filters, and popular sounds, doing the Guinness Challenge with occasional cameos from his wife and Game of Thrones actor Sophie Turner. Nick uses his profile to share skits with his brothers, videos of him with his wife and The Matrix Resurrections actor Priyanka Chopra and as a Type 1 diabetic he also posted an important video on the different signs someone has Type 1 diabetes. Kevin also share some brotherly skits too, and is partial to a fun filter, and cracks jokes and there's also some cute content of him with his kids. Jade Thirlwall @jadethirlwall Wow is jade ok? i’m rlly worried about jade from little mix. While all of us are gutted about Little Mix are taking a hiatus, we'll no doubt enjoy seeing Leigh-Anne, Jade and Perrie's future endeavors. Until then, Jade has been keeping us (her 2.1m followers) fed with some hilarious TikTok content, from recreating her iconic award show moment, to doing dance routines with her boyfriend Jordan Stephens, to recreating a scene from The Little Mermaid. One person wrote: "Describe Jade Thirlwall in one word: I’ll go first - iconic." "Typical jade very funny and loveable love ya," another person said. Someone else added: "Would love to be bestfriends Jade." Lizzo @lizzo Replying to @billboard we literally had 50 versions of this damn song i thought we’d never finish it ? BUT IT WAS WORTH IT!!! Her song 'About Damn Time' took TikTok by storm so it's no surprise that Lizzo is also a favourite on the platform.

In TikTok videos to his 32.8m followers, he's shared some behind the scenes from the Stranger Things set, TikTok challenges, and used his platform to come out as gay earlier this year. "When I finally told my friends and family I was gay after being scared in the closet for 18 years and all they said was 'we know,'" he wrote in the video. ""I guess I'm more similar to Will [Byers] than I thought," he added in the caption in reference to his statement about his Stranger Things character also being gay. As well as this, Schnapp was also in some TikTok drama with Doja Cat after he exposed her for sliding into his DMs, asking to be set up with his Stranger Things co-star Joseph Quinn, who plays Eddie Munson, though the pair later apologised to each other.
