The ‘Barbenheimer Effect' dating trend explained
With two of the most highly anticipated film releases happening on the same day, film lovers are gearing up for a trip to the cinema to see the double feature of Greta Gerwig's Barbie and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer. When people found out that the two movies were both to be released on July 21, the internet had a field day creating plenty of memes about how they are opposite to one another, with Barbie's hot pink aesthetic, compared to Oppenheimer's dark black look in the marketing and posters. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Now there's a new dating term that has been coined from all this, called the ‘Barbenheimer effect'. So what is the Barbenheimer Effect? Well, apparently it's a modern dating approach favouring partnerships with polar opposites. Instead of going after your usual ‘type’, you value how contrasting personality traits and lifestyles can create a stronger coupling promoting growth and self-discovery. Key pillars of the Barbenheimer Effect: Opposites Attract The 'Barbenheimer effect' highlights the captivating magnetism that occurs when two individuals with contrasting personalities, interests, or backgrounds connect. It celebrates the idea that diverse traits can complement and enrich a relationship. Empowerment and Self-Discovery The 'Barbenheimer effect' encourages individuals to embrace their uniqueness and explore relationships outside their comfort zones. It promotes personal growth, self-discovery, and the pursuit of genuine connections that transcend societal expectations. Power Couples The 'Barbenheimer effect' redefines the concept of 'power couples', emphasising that power is not solely derived from professional achievements or financial success. Instead, the power lies in the mutual exploration and education of one another’s life experiences, hobbies, and cultures to elevate your identity and become more versatile. Bye to Barbie & Ken While the idealised Barbie and Ken relationship aesthetic may seem desirable at first glance, many individuals yearn for something more authentic and fulfilling. The 'Barbenheimer' trend offers a refreshing alternative, celebrating the beauty found in the diversity of human connection. Have your say in our news democracy.

Holly Willoughby and Alison Hammond smile awkwardly through NTA booing
The National Television Awards returned on Tuesday (5 September) for a night filled with the best of British TV. Attention soon turned to This Morning, which was dethroned after winning daytime, live magazine or topical magazine categories every year since 2011. The audience erupted into boos when the show was announced as hosts Holly Willoughby and Alison Hammond smiled on. It didn't take long for X/Twitter users to chime in with their (brutal) takes, with one writing: "It was amazing that the public showed This Morning how they felt and didn’t vote for them to win the best daytime show at the NTA’s this morning has run its course and should be scrapped." Another wrote: "Highlight of the Year - This Morning getting zilch." A third was delighted to not have to "endure Holly and Phil pretending to be drunk": Another wrote: "They lost to a programme named the Repair Shop. It’s so ironic it's hilarious." Willoughby later took to Instagram with a photo of herself with the show's host Jay Blades to congratulate his win. "To this gorgeous man @jaybladesmbe and the whole team at the @therepairshoptv … Hugest Congratulations!!! And what a night for the incredible Sarah Lancashire… @joeldommett thank you for a great night… See you in the morning," she wrote. On Wednesday's episode of This Morning, Willoughby sent her congratulations to the winners. She said: "A huge congratulations to The Repair Shop, well done you. Jay Blades, just like a special squeeze and lots of love to him. "He ran over to us, gave us all a big cuddle which I just thought was just class and gorgeous. I actually didn’t want to let go. Good hugs Jay Blades." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
