Tina Knowles is marking a very special milestone for her granddaughter Blue Ivy, and she did it in a way that felt deeply personal and full of love.

On Wednesday, Jan. 7, Knowles celebrated Blue Ivy’s 14th birthday by sharing a heartfelt Instagram post that quickly caught the attention of fans.

The 72-year-old author posted a collage featuring 14 photos of Blue Ivy taken across different stages of her life, a clear nod to the birthday being celebrated. 

Alongside the snaps, Knowles wrote an emotional message that reflected on Blue Ivy’s journey from before she was even born to the young teenager she is today. 

She affectionately described her granddaughter as her “manager, makeup artist, fashion adviser, and my love,” setting the tone for the tribute.

In her caption, Knowles looked back on the moment the family first learned Beyoncé was expecting. 

“I remember the day that we found out about you being in your mom‘s womb. We could not have been more excited! We were told that you were the size of a blueberry and that is where your name came from!” she wrote. 

She also shared how the family came together in prayer during those early weeks. 

“We all prayed together for you every single day till you were 12 weeks old in your moms belly! Then we prayed individually until you arrived months later.”

Knowles went on to describe Blue Ivy as strong and sharp from the very beginning, noting that it was clear she was “a fighter from the beginning.”

She fondly recalled their time playing Princess and Barbie dolls, praising Blue Ivy’s imagination and early intelligence.

The message ended on a proud and loving note. 

“To say that I’m a proud grandmother is an understatement!” Knowles wrote, adding that despite Blue Ivy’s many accomplishments, she remains “a very sweet, kind humble human being.”

Knowles is a grandmother to four grandchildren in total, including Blue Ivy, her younger siblings Rumi and Sir, and Solange Knowles’ son Julez.

Still, this birthday post made it clear that Blue Ivy’s 14th birthday was one Tina Knowles wanted the world to celebrate right along with her.

The Jackass franchise is set to return to theaters in 2026 with its fifth big-screen installment, much to the delight of fans who have long awaited more of its wild, outrageous stunts and pranks. 

The news was confirmed as the next chapter in the long-running series continues to come together after years of speculation.

The upcoming movie, simply known as Jackass 5, marks another major addition to the beloved comedy franchise that first debuted in the early 2000s. 

Johnny Knoxville, the star of the franchise, shared in a post on Instagram, “Well a wang dang and hot damn doodle, we are starting the year off with a bang.” 

“We wanted to let you know that this summer Jackass is back!! We will see you in theatres June 26th. More to come but wanted you to hear it from us first!!”

Audiences can expect the same blend of fearless physical comedy, unexpected antics and laugh-out-loud moments that have defined the series through its theatrical run and multiple television seasons.

While specific plot details and cast confirmations are still under wraps, the announcement has already generated buzz among longtime supporters of the series. 

Jackass has built a loyal following by pushing boundaries with its unique brand of slapstick humour and unpredictable stunts, often involving elaborate setups and daring physical feats performed by the cast.

The franchise’s return comes more than a decade after the release of Jackass Forever, which brought back many familiar faces and reenergised interest in the series. 

Producers and fans alike have spoken in recent years about the desire to revisit the format that made Jackass a cultural touchstone, and Jackass 5 appears to be the next step in that evolution.

Releasing another theatrical entry also highlights the franchise’s lasting appeal, especially as audiences continue to seek out comedy that feels immediate and communal, the kind that hits hardest on the big screen surrounded by fellow viewers. 

The decision to bring Jackass back to cinemas confirms that studios still see value in high-profile comedy releases that can draw audiences out of their homes and into shared viewing experiences.

Fans of the series will be watching closely for news about trailers, the returning cast and the kinds of absurd challenges that have made Jackass a defining example of dare-devil comedy for more than 20 years.

With its 2026 return, Jackass 5 aims to remind audiences why the franchise became a phenomenon, blending chaotic humour with the unexpected and delivering a theatrical experience that’s as irreverent as ever. 

Stay tuned for updates as the project moves forward.

Bitcoin is poised for another year of extreme volatility and potentially record-breaking price moves.

According to the survey of industry analysts and executives conducted by CNBC, the predictions for the cryptocurrency’s 2026 price range from a low of $75,000 to a staggering high of $225,000.

Behind this wide divergence lies a complex backdrop of shifting monetary policy, regulatory uncertainty, and questions about institutional demand.

Bitcoin is currently trading around $91,000, roughly 30% below its all-time high of over $126,000 set in October 2025.

Among the boldest calls, Bit Mining’s chief economist, Youwei Yang, predicts a trading range of $75,000 to $225,000, citing potential interest rate cuts and a “more accommodating regulatory stance” alongside macroeconomic risk.

Other notable predictions include:

• Standard Chartered: $150,000, revised down from $300,000, with gains now expected to be driven mainly by ETF buying instead of corporate treasuries. 
• Maple Finance: $175,000 buoyed by rate cuts and the growth of bitcoin-backed lending.
• Standard Chartered: $150,000, revised down from $300,000, with gains now expected to be driven mainly by ETF buying rather than corporate treasuries.
• CoinShares: $120,000 to $170,000, with action weighted toward the year’s second half pending regulatory and Federal Reserve clarity.

On the whole, analysts agree that major drivers will include U.S. Federal Reserve Policy, the potential passage of crypto regulatory legislation, and the sustained flow of funds into spot Bitcoin ETFs, which may now be the most significant price catalyst
