Back in the day, fashion magazines airbrushed out cellulite in photos because dimpled skin was considered unsightly. Well, it seems pop star Lizzo is promoting the cellulite movement in her new post on Instagram.

Judge Tucker reduced Karmelo’s bond from $1 million to $250,000. He posted bond and walked out of the Collin County Jail on Monday.
Tucker, Collin County’s first Black judge, made her X (Twitter) account private after someone posted her personal information online.
“Sharing a judge’s private information is a crime and will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” officials said in a statement.
Judge Tucker is a registered Republican.
The Daily Mail reported that Karmelo and his family moved into a $900,000 home in the gated Richmonds subdivision in Frisco, Texas. However, neighbors said the family had lived in the rental home since 2022.

In the film, Leonardo DiCaprio plays a father desperate to find his daughter (Chase Infiniti) who is in the hands of an old enemy. The only problem? He can’t remember a series of passwords.

The kidnapper tells him to call back when he has the time – which is one of the passwords Leonardo can’t remember.
The trailer doesn’t reveal much about the rest of the movie.
One Battle After Another also stars Sean Penn, Benicio Del Toro, Wood Harris, Regina Hall, and Teyana Taylor.

Actress Loretta Devine (left) and “Abbott Elementary” star and creator Quinta Brunson (right) attended Sheryl’s Walk of Fame ceremony on Wednesday.
Sheryl’s career spans more than four decades in theater, movies and television.
Sheryl, 68, is best known for her roles as Deena Jones in the Broadway musical Dreamgirls in 1981 and Dee Mitchell in Moesha (1996-2001). She was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical for Dreamgirls.

The cause of actress Michelle Trachtenberg‘s death has been revealed. Michelle died suddenly on February 26 in New York City. She was 39.
The former child star is best known for her roles on “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Gossip Girl.”
The New York City Medical Examiner’s Office released her cause of death as complications from diabetes mellitus.
Diabetes mellitus is a group of diseases that affects how the body uses blood sugar. The pancreas produces insulin, which is essential for pushing sugar into the cells to be used for energy in the muscles and organs.
The main types of diabetes include type 1, where the pancreas doesn’t produce any insulin, and type 2, where the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin.
In some cases, cells in the body become resistant to insulin leading to high blood sugar (insulin resistance). High blood sugar can cause serious health problems, including coma and death.
Instagram
Michelle was diagnosed with liver failure and underwent a liver transplant in the months before she passed away.
She wrote, “Fun fact. This is my face. Not malnutrition no problems. Why do you have to hate? Get a calendar.”
In a follow-up post, she wrote: “I’ve received several comments recently about my appearance. I have never had plastic surgery I am happy and healthy. Check yourself haters.”
Britney covered the song on her first greatest hits album, “Greatest Hits: My Prerogative,” in 2004.
“Britney Spears butchered ‘My Prerogative,'” Brown, 56, told Shannon Sharpe during a guest appearance on Shannon’s “Club Shay Shay” podcast.”
Shannon asked Bobby what he believed was the best use of sampling from another artist using his music. But Bobby said none of the samples did his songs any justice.
“I don’t think they really did justice to any of the samples that they have done to my songs,” he said.
For example, Bobby referenced Britney’s cover of “My Prerogative.”
“Teddy Riley produced it, but that was a butchering that I – I couldn’t take it,” Bobby said. “I cleared it only because it was Britney Spears and I was thinking… Teddy Riley is doing it too, so you know.”
Bobby Brown reveals he felt Britney Spears butchered his song “My Prerogative” and says no artist who’s ever sampled his music has done it justice.
Bobby explained his disappointment when he heard the finished single. He said it taught him a lesson about clearing samples before he hears the demo.
“I gotta hear it [in order for it to be cleared] because you don’t know what these kids will say these days. These kids say some sh*t that… you don’t want your song associated with it.”
Britney, 43, switched up the song with synthesizers and drums that fans say took “the soul” out of the song. She also changed the pronouns to a female’s perspective.
In the song’s intro, she said, “People can take everything away from you / But they can never take away your truth / But the question is, can you handle mine?”
