Kyonne Gravina and Dale Mallia will be facing each other in the ring in aid of Puttinu Cares, after their previous fight was cancelled.

The two had given their explanation as to why their initial fight was cancelled in a video uploaded to social media, but will still meet in the ring under very different circumstances.

‘Stepping into the ring for a cause that matters’, write Kyonne on social media. ‘Dale and I are gearing up for an unforgettable fight in support of Puttinu Cares.’

‘Every punch we throw is for charity, helping those who need it most.’ More information is set to release soon, with l-Istrina also taking place this month to raise funds for those battling cancer and other serious illnesses this Boxing Day.

Local Restaurant Tapes Cookie To Wall After Banana Hit

Local Restaurant Tapes Cookie To Wall After Banana Hit
Dec 2 2024 Share

Local restaurant ‘Marelli’ took inspiration by the recent banana artwork auction and duct-taped a cookie to their wall.

The Birkirkara outlet followed in the footsteps of Maurizio Cattelan, whose 2019 work ‘Comedian’ features a banana duct-taped to a wall.

Late November 2024, cryptocurrency platform TRON founder, Justin Sun, outbid everyone and bought the banana for $6.2 million – and ate it.

And it seems as though Marelli is attempting its own take on the art – or stunt, however you may see it.

‘Our bookie’, wrote the restaurant on the post shared to social media.

Will this cookie make the same hit as the banana?

Carey Rakes Up To €3 Million Annually For Hit Christmas Song

Carey Rakes Up To €3 Million Annually For Hit Christmas Song
Dec 2 2024 Share

Mariah Carey’s 1994 holiday classic, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” remains a lucrative and cultural phenomenon three decades after its release.

The song earns Carey an estimated $2.5 to $3 million annually in royalties, contributing to over $60 million in lifetime earnings since its debut, according to Forbes.

Despite its initial ineligibility for the Billboard Hot 100 due to industry rules, the advent of streaming propelled the song to No. 1 in 2019, where it now returns every holiday season.

Hailed as the greatest holiday song of all time by Billboard, the track’s enduring popularity has cemented Carey’s status as the “Queen of Christmas.”

Beyond royalties, she capitalises on the song’s success through merchandise, sponsorships, concerts, books, and even an animated film. The song has been streamed over 1.8 billion times, adding to its legacy as a holiday staple.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of Carey’s Merry Christmas album, celebrated with her third Christmas tour, Mariah Carey’s Christmas Time.

The 20-city extravaganza, featuring holiday classics and fan favourites, began on November 6 in California and concludes December 17 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, continuing the festive legacy of her iconic hit. As Billboard’s Gary Trust noted, “It’s not going away.”
