TikTok's latest beauty trend is to rub beef fat all over your face. It's supposed to be a great moisturizer, and cure acne.
Technically, it's "beef tallow" . . . rendered fat that's been cooked down to remove impurities. It's just like lard, except lard is from pigs. A bunch of people online swear it works, and say their skin has never looked better.
Most aren't buying it at the grocery store. Back in the day, people used it as a natural moisturizer, and some beauty brands still sell it. They usually mix it with things like beeswax or essential oils. Otherwise, it doesn't have much of a smell.
Someone asked a dermatologist, who said it's probably safe to try, but wouldn't be his first choice for acne or dry skin. There are lots of other products now that are PROVEN to help with skin issues. And he says beef tallow could actually end up making your pores even more clogged.
That said, some fans claim they've tried everything for acne, and it's the only thing that's worked.

Nick Cannon just made the mother of all Mother's Day goofs. On his show "The Daily Cannon," the "Masked Singer" host explained he decided to give the women he shares children with handwritten messages for Mother's Day this year. The only problem? There are so many of them that Cannon admitted he got the cards mixed up, leading "one baby mama" to get "the card about how I feel about the other baby mama."
As of press time, Cannon has 12 children with six women: Mariah Carey, Brittany Bell, Bre Tiesi, LaNisha Cole, Alyssa Scott, and Abby De La Rosa, and De La Rosa was in the room with Cannon when he made the card confession. His takeaway was that he should have simply bought "generic" cards, as then this "wouldn't have happened," though going even further back, the situation could also have been prevented by using contraception.

This just in! On a recent episode of his "Life is Short" podcast, Justin Long (the Mac guy of commercials) appeared to confirm that he and Kate Bosworth are already married. When Bulgaria came up during the episode, Long noted he "was there while I was really falling in love with my now-wife" and she came to visit him on set. "I loved having her there, and we just had the most magical time," he said. The "now-wife" mention is the first we're hearing that Bosworth is apparently no longer Long's fiancée.
While it's possible he was just getting an early start on being a wife guy, People notes Long and Bosworth could also be seen wearing what seemed to be wedding bands in a photo she shared on Sunday. The two actors started dating sometime after she split from her husband Michael Polish in 2021. Long and Bosworth just announced their engagement in April, but apparently, they didn't want it to be a long one.

It's all about being in the right place at the right time.
It's a small Barbie world. John Cena plays a merman in Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" movie, and he told the "Today" show it's all because he "randomly ran into" star Margot Robbie. They worked together on "The Suicide Squad," and "Barbie" was filming across the street from Cena's movie "Fast X."
So when Cena bumped into Robbie, he asked if there was a place for him in "Barbie," offering to do "whatever you guys need." Luckily for him, Robbie is also a producer on the movie. "They asked me if I wanted to be a merman, and I said, 'Yeah, sure,'" Cena explained, noting his involvement was a "happy accident." He also teased that Gerwig has a "very interesting take" on the material, though you'll just have to take his word for it that he's in the movie considering you can't see him.

There is a Google Chrome extension called "Nope, can't right now" that will get you out of any unwanted conversation. Just click the discreet button, and it will call yoru phone with instructions on how to get out of the conversation.
When you pick up, you'll hear a recording of a man with a very deep voice, who quietly instructs you on what to do next.
"OK. Fake some laughter, roll your eyes, and shrug at them with a smile," he says. "Still looking? Fine. Repeat these words after me: 'Yes, of course I can talk now. Whats the matter?' Works every time."
