Hailey Bieber faces accusations of 'cultural appropriation' for 'brownie glazed lips' look

Image
  Hailey Bieber faces accusations of 'cultural appropriation' for 'brownie glazed lips' look Hailey Bieber's viral TikTok post about her recent lip routine is facing some backlash and accusations of "cultural appropriation" among social media users. "Ready for all the fall things including brownie glazed lips," Bieber wrote in a caption to a video of her modeling makeup that included dark lip liner and clear lip gloss. Some TikTok users have accused the model and wife of singer Justin Bieber of appropriating the makeup routine, which is thought to be a popular style from the late '80s and '90s originating among women of color -- particularly Black and Latina women. Jillian Hernandez, a professor at University of Florida's Center for Gender, Sexualities, and Women's Studies Research, told "Good Morning America" that her research has focused on the hyper-sexualization of working-class Black and Latina girls' aesthetics...

Mexico vs Colombia score, result: El Tri suffer crushing loss, see 2-0 lead turn into 3-2 loss

Image
 Mexico vs Colombia score, result: El Tri suffer crushing loss, see 2-0 lead turn into 3-2 loss So much for gathering speed in front of the World Cup. Mexico not just lost against Colombia in its last match prior to leaving for the World Cup in November, yet it saw its 2-0 lead dissipate in a 3-2 misfortune at Levi's Arena in St Nick Clara. Mexico played its best half in late memory, marking itself to a 2-0 halftime lead thanks to an early punishment changed over by Alexis Vega, and an objective by left-back Gerardo Arteaga. Be that as it may, the wheels fell off in the last part. Colombia made three subs to begin the half and immediately scored three unanswered objectives in the final part, including two by Leeds Joined's Luis Sinisterra and a staggering volley by midfielder Wilmer Barrios. It was a torrential slide of Colombian assaults in the final part and Mexico had no response. El Tri supervisor Gerardo 'Goodbye' Martino attempted to make some staff changes to ste...

Hailey Bieber

 Hailey Bieber has spoken for first time about whether she ‘stole’ Justin Bieber from Selena Gomez Hailey Bieber has spoken for the first time about whether she “stole” Justin Bieber from Selena Gomez. The 25-year-old said opening up over the issue was about “people knowing the truth”, with fans due to hear her side of the story on the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast that will air on Wednesday. (28.09.22) In a preview from the full interview with host Alex Cooper, model Hailey – who married singer Justin, 28, in 2018 – was asked if there was any crossover between their relationship and Justin’s with Selena. She replied: “This is so crazy, I’ve literally never talked about this ever. A lot of the perpetuation and the hate comes from, ‘Oh, you stole him’. Alex then asks Hailey: “Were you ever with Justin romantically at the same time as (Selena)?”, with the model replying: “It’s about people knowing the truth. Because there’s a truth.” Justin, whose teens were blighted by drug addiction and...

Shakira (Shakira ordered to stand trial over alleged tax fraud in Spain)

Image
  Shakira ordered to stand trial over alleged tax fraud in Spain BARCELONA, Spain — A Spanish appointed authority on Tuesday supported a preliminary for Colombian pop vocalist Shakira on charges of duty misrepresentation. Spanish examiners blamed the performer in 2018 for neglecting to pay 14.5 million euros ($13.9 million) in charges on pay procured somewhere in the range of 2012 and 2014. Investigators are looking for an eight-year jail sentence and a heavy fine on the off chance that she is viewed as at real fault for tax avoidance. Shakira, 45, has more than once denied any bad behavior and dismissed an arrangement with specialists to try not to go to preliminary. Her advertising firm has said that she has previously paid all that she owed and an extra 3 million euros ($2.8 million) in interest. The court situated in the town of Esplugues de Llobregat close to Barcelona said that Shakira will confront six counts of duty extortion. The date for the preliminary presently can't se...

Ned Fulmer Exposed 😳

Image
  YouTube’s ‘The Try Guys’ Oust Ned Fulmer After Cheating Allegations — Here’s What Happened TOPLINE The Attempt Folks, a gathering of YouTube content makers who began at Buzzfeed and later shaped their own creation organization, declared Tuesday they would head out in different directions from leader maker and establishing part Ned Fulmer, who affirmed hypothesis among fans that he went behind his better half's back with a worker of the organization. KEY Realities The leftover three individuals from the gathering — Eugene Lee Yang, Keith Habersberger and Zach Kornfeld-made an announcement Tuesday declaring Fulmer would presently not be working with The Attempt Folks "because of a careful inner survey," adding they could never again see "a way ahead together." In a different explanation, Fulmer said he had taken part in a "consensual working environment relationship," and apologized to his fans and his better half, Ariel Fulmer, who was in many cases h...

Brazil

  Brazil hammers 10-man Tunisia 5-1; banana thrown at Brazilian players During the match, a banana was thrown from the stands toward the Brazil players while they were celebrating a goal. Brazilian players have been vocal against racism after the Vinicius incident. Rampant Brazil destroyed 10-man Tunisia 5-1 in a friendly on Tuesday with Raphinha scoring twice and setting up another goal in its last game before the World Cup. It was another dominant performance by the South American giant who beat Ghana 3-0 on Friday, giving their fans plenty of reasons to be excited by their young team heading into Qatar where they will bid for a record-extending sixth world title. Raphinha opened the scoring in the 11th minute with a brilliant header from the edge of the area over goalkeeper Aymen Dahmen. However, Tunisia equalised seven minutes later with an opportunistic header by Montassar Talbi from a free kick. Brazil was back in front a minute later though when Raphinha found Richarlison gh...
  View Jupiter’s closest approach to the Earth in 59 years on September 26 On September 26, Jupiter will make its closest approach to Earth since 1963. Here is how you can take the opportunity to get the best view of the biggest planet in our solar system. Jupiter is set to make its closest approach to Earth in the last 59 years according to NASA. We can expect excellent views of the gas giant on Monday, September 26, when the biggest planet in our solar system will be in opposition from the viewpoint of Earth’s surface. “Opposition” happens when an astronomical object, in this case, Jupiter, rises in the East as the Sun sets on the west, placing the planet and the Sun on opposite sides of the Earth. With Jupiter, this opposition happens once every 13 months, when the planet will appear larger and brighter than any other time of the year. But the phenomenon on September 26 is a bit rarer. On that day, Jupiter will make its closest approach to the Earth in the last 59 years. Neither...

Samsung’s Android 13 Beta expands to the Galaxy S21 lineup in the US

Image
  Samsung’s Android 13 Beta expands to the Galaxy S21 lineup in the US ENRIQUE, 21 SEPTEMBER 2022 Samsung’s  Galaxy S22  series began to receive Android 13 (One UI 5) beta builds in the US early last month. Today, beta builds for One UI 5 based on Android 13 are now arriving to the  Samsung Galaxy S21 ,  Galaxy S21+ , and  Galaxy S21 Ultra . The update was spotted by Reddit user  u/DJStormXZ  over on the r/GalaxyS21 sub-Reddit. As per the OP (original poster), the beta builds are only eligible for unlocked models purchased in the US, but another commenter claimed they were able to install the beta update on a T-Mobile device. As someone with a T-Mobile Galaxy S21 Ultra, I couldn’t see the update card in the Samsung Members app. UK and Korean Samsung Galaxy S21 owners were able to download the beta update late last month (India more recently) and the US’ beta build appears to be a slightly newer build, with number G991UEU5ZVIA (for the S21).

Apple says that a fix for iPhone 14 Pro (Max) camera shaking is coming next week

Image
  Apple says that a fix for iPhone 14 Pro (Max) camera shaking is coming next week As you may have heard, the new cameras on the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max have an issue with third-party apps that causes their autofocus or OIS systems to go wild and vibrate uncontrollably. Apple is aware of the issue and is working on a fix. This makes video captured with the camera unusable and worse, it may end up damaging the hardware. The iPhone 14 and 14 Plus do not seem to be affected, however. Also, Apple’s own camera app is working fine, which suggests that this is a software issue rather than a hardware one. Again, it only affects third-party cameras. Of course, installed apps shouldn’t be able to cause your camera to go haywire, so this is probably a bug with the camera API. If your phone experiences this issue you should know that there is no known workaround, other than not using, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok and similar apps that trigger the problem – Apple says that a fix is c...

Google films people reacting to the Pixel 7 Pro, confirms pre-order start date

Image
  Google films people reacting to the Pixel 7 Pro, confirms pre-order start date Google's promotional/teaser campaign for its upcoming smartphones is continuing in full force today, with the release of a new video. That's not out of the ordinary in itself - after all, the company has been teasing the Pixel 7 and Pixel 7 Pro since May in one form or another. But this video is a bit... different. It's basically showing you reactions people had to seeing the Pixel 7 Pro, one would assume for the first time. That's all fine and dandy, but while you and us can see the people, and their reactions, we can't see the phone until the very end. https://youtu.be/eeI3WhmUAmQ Again, this wouldn't be out of the ordinary, except Google's already shown us the Pixel 7 Pro multiple times. There's an entire section on its online store that's dedicated to it - complete with images of all three color versions! Anyway, yes there's a watch (you'll get this only if y...

Samsung could bring Exynos-powered Galaxy S23 phones after all

Image
  Samsung could bring Exynos-powered Galaxy S23 phones after all Samsung is having internal conflicts about whether Exynos should power Galaxy S23 smartphones, a leakster revealed. This information comes two months after Qualcomm nearly confirmed all the phones will be powered by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 platform. According to Ice Universe, the Samsung MX (Mobile eXperience) division is disappointed with the performance of the in-house chipset in the Galaxy S22 smartphones. On the other hand, top-level executives still want next year’s flagships to come with Exynos 2300, manufactured by Samsung Semiconductors. Currently, about 70% of Samsung Galaxy S22 phones ship with Exynos 2200. The Korean platform is for devices in Europe, CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States), Africa, and the Middle East. The other 30% have a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 and sell in the Americas, South Korea, China, Japan, and India. Southeast Asia gets a mix of both. Both the Exynos 2200 and Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 chips a...

Emil Zátopek and Dana Zátopková's 100th Birthday

Image
    In the 1952 Olympics, Dana Zatopkova won a gold medal in the women's javelin throw one hour after her husband, Emil Zapotek, won the men's 5,000 meter run. Today's Doodle celebrates the Czech power couple of track and field’s shared 100th Birthday! This Doodle was created by Prague-based guest artists Ilona Polanski (illustration) and Aliona Saskova (animation).  Both Emil and Dana were born on September 19, 1922. Dana developed a passion for sports while she grew up in Karviná, Czech Republic. Before she ever threw a javelin, Dana was a talented handball player and played in college and professionally where she led her team to a Czechoslovakian handball title. The javelin throw soon caught Dana’s attention. Rumor has it she reached 34 meters the first time she gave it a try. She later became the first Czech woman to throw a javelin over 40 meters, which qualified her for the 1948 Olympic Games. Over in Zlín, teenage Emil worked at a shoe factory. It was there that h...

What does a Queen Consort do?

Image
  Camilla's new title, explained: What's the difference between queen and 'Queen Consort'? King Charles III now presides over the British monarchy. And by his side: Queen Camilla. Wait a second. When Queen Elizabeth II, who died Thursday, reigned for her 70 years, her better half wasn't King Philip but rather HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. As with many things royal, it's complicated. Camilla's new title was set in motion last February, when Elizabeth decreed during festivities marking her seven decades on the throne that the Duchess of Cornwall should be known as Queen Consort, as opposed to Princess Consort, when Charles ascended to the throne. "Queen Consort" is the fancy name for the wife of a reigning king, which the United Kingdom has not had since 1952, when King George VI died and his widow, Queen Elizabeth, became the Queen Mother.  Confused? You're not alone. We shall endeavor to explain. What is a queen consort? All previous wi...

Last Dance

  NBA-Jordan's 'Last Dance' jersey sells for record $10.1 million (Reuters) - Michael Jordan's jersey from the opening game of the 1998 NBA Finals sold for over $10 million at an auction on Thursday, making it the most expensive piece of game-worn sports memorabilia in history. The previous record was established earlier this year at Sotheby's, with Argentine soccer great Diego Maradona's "Hand of God" jersey fetching a staggering $9.3 million. "In the weeks since we announced the auction, there's been palpable excitement from not only sports fans, but collectors alike who are eager to own a rarefied piece of history," said Brahm Wachter, Sotheby's Head of Streetwear and Modern Collectables. "Yet again, today's record-breaking result... solidifies Michael Jordan as the undisputed G.O.A.T, proving his name and incomparable legacy is just as relevant as it was nearly 25 years ago." Jordan's jersey was expected to fetch...

Cristiano Ronaldo keeps 5-star Skill Moves rating in FIFA 23

  The full list of players with five-star Skill Moves in FIFA 23 was leaked ahead of release. EA has caught up at last and we can now confirm whether those leaks were accurate. Cristiano Ronaldo fans were hoping the leaks would turn out to be true so their man wouldn’t lose even more of his FIFA 22 prowess. The revelation of the highest-rated players in FIFA 23 caused an outcry among CR7 fans. The Manchester United star lost a ton of pace and was downgraded all-around. Ronaldo taking another hit in the form of losing his five-star Skill Moves status would have just added salt to the wound.

USA TODAY turns 40: Celebrating 40 moments that mattered most to our newspaper

Image
  USA TODAY turns 40: Celebrating 40 moments that mattered most to our newspaper Coming up with a Top 40 in the era of Everything Goes Viral can only spark endless arguments and “whataboutism.” But everyone loves round numbers, and USA TODAY’s 40th anniversary – remember, some predicted it would not last 40 weeks – should not be ignored. And what better way to celebrate than highlighting 40 moments to mark our anniversary on Sept. 15? How to do it? We did not want simply an almanac-type list of the 40 biggest stories over four tumultuous decades. Even using circulation figures (old metric) or pageviews (new), measuring journalism goes beyond audience, although (a nod to reality), audience is always nice. No, the best way to measure journalism, we decided, was by its impact. Did our reporting change things for the better? Hold people accountable? Right hidden wrongs? Or sometimes bring a smile? Was our writing memorable, our photography compelling, our graphics fact-filled? And did...

New video released in man's death at the hands of a Colorado deputy after he got stuck on the road

Image
  R elatives are pressing for charges to be filed against the officers involved in the fatal shooting of a Colorado man who called 911 for help when his SUV got stuck this summer. Christian Glass, 22, was shot by Clear Creek County sheriff’s deputy early June 11 in Silver Plume, according to his family's attorneys and the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office. The Boulder man appeared to be holding a knife when he was shot five times after refusing to get out of his Honda Pilot for nearly 70 minutes, according to body camera video and an autopsy report provided by his family’s attorney His family's attorneys said officers “escalated and proactively initiated force” that led to his death. “The act of simply calling 911 for help cannot be a death sentence,” the Denver-based Rathod/Mohamedbhai law firm said in a statement Tuesday. 'He trusted police to come and help him' Glass’ parents, who are from New Zealand and the United Kingdom, made their first public comments this we...

ASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden’s popularity improved substantially from his lowest point this summer, but concerns about his handling of the economy persist, according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research President Joe Biden poses for a photo after speaking on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, Tuesday, Sept. 13, 2022.

(AP Photo/Andrew Harnik) © Provided by Associated Press Support for Biden recovered from a low of 36% in July to 45%, driven in large part by a rebound in support from Democrats just two months before the November midterm elections.
