Now either you can stream it on your phone and laptop, on just watch vicariously through the folks on social media.

Plastic surgeon Boris Paskhover told the Guardian , “If the camera point is closer to something that projects out, like your nose, it is going to make everything that is closer to that camera look bigger compared to the rest of the face.” *opens front camera* wtf.. my phone is possessed by a fat ugly monster — …ya (@xiaogunian) February 25, 2018 The site published an article entitled “Nasal Distortion in Short-Distance Photographs: The Selfie Effect,” in which a research team proved that a face-on portrait taken from 12 inches away makes the nose’s breadth appear about 30% larger than it really is. He added that that 60 inches “is actually a standard photographic distance — photographers take portraits at 5 feet. When I take pictures of patients, I take them at 5 feet.” But how does one actually take the perfect selfie without having to edit it all crazy after? According to an article in Allure, there are five easy tips to help you take a good selfie: Look up toward the camera. Extend your head away from your neck Instead of holding your phone in front of you, hold it to the side for a flawless angle. Relax your mouth, and exhale, blowing air through your lips. In your selfie-ready position, slowly spin until you find your best light. So the next time you criticize yourself over a selfie, realize that it’s not your fault. Blame the Iphone.

In a trailer for an upcoming episode, the host and actress revealed she once had a threesome in her early 20s but doesn’t give the experience high marks. PEOPLE exclusively reports : “I had a threesome once. I was very, very young,” she said as her daughter, Willow Smith, covered her eyes. “Like early 20s.” The Girls Trip actress continued, “I didn’t like it. It just didn’t have the level of intimacy [I wanted]. But I tried it once and I was like, ‘Well, that’s not for me.’” She added, “But I always think if I was in love with two people, that’s another level. I could see and join a threesome then, but I was a kid. I saw two cute people and I was like, ‘Hey.’” Her mother, Adrienne Banfield Norris, replied, “[It was] a sexual experiment.” Check out the clip of the chat courtesy of PEOPLE’s exclusive coverage below. — Photo: WENN
Lil Nas followed up Old Town Road with a new single. The chorus interpolates Nirvana’s 1992 single In Bloom. Honestly the progression of Lil Nas X is astounding. On Old Town Road he was a bit stubborn and said “you can’t tell me nothing”. But now on Panini he’s saying “say to me what you want from me”, completely open to outside opinions. The growth is crazy. He also really knows how to troll people on twitter. PANINI OUT NOW EARLY!!! EP DROPS TONIGHT!!! pic.twitter.com/m9N08GaDpl — nope (@LilNasX) June 20, 2019 me making panini short to increase streams pic.twitter.com/1nT9NQscUt — nope (@LilNasX) June 20, 2019

Beyoncé and Donald Glover –also known as Childish Gambino — aren’t the only A list stars in this movie. Chiwetel Ejiofor will voice Scar, Billy Eichner as Timon, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa, and Alfre Woodard Sarabi. James Earl Jones makes a return as the voice of Simba, fittingly so.

The movie will be scored, or composed, by Hans Zimmer, he scored the original movie in 1994 but was hesitant to do the remake citing, “I have worked very hard to not ruin things through improvement.” Ultimately, he decided to do the remake because he felt as though it was his place to try a big experiment, and create a performance. The remake of The Lion King is set to premiere on July 19.
