While wiping out unwanted blemishes and wrinkles through image editing apps like Facetune is a skill offered to amateurs, not everyone is adept at using it.

When Callista Gingrich—the 3rd wife of former House Speaker, Newt Gingrich—wished everyone a "lovely weekend" and posted a photo of herself and her husband on social media, it was apparent that her photo editing prowess was sorely lacking.


Her forehead appears to have been taken over by a giant blurry patch that does not blend in with the edges.

If she meant to smooth out any wrinkles, she definitely accomplished her goal, but left her husband hanging without any digital manipulation.

The result is a photo that is a major study in contrasts.


It did not take long before, socialite, former model, and author Chrissy Teigen took notice of the awkward portrait.

She called out the Facetune fail with an indirect message to the politician on Twitter.

"get u a girl who will Facetune u both."

Teigen then kindly offered her photo editing services and gave Newt the treatment she thought he deserved with a short clip demonstrating his before-and-after treatment.

She followed up with a one-word tweet describing the result.

People gave props to Teigen's skillful touch and philanthropy.




Despite Teigen's retouching efforts, people still saw the former 2012 GOP presidential candidate for who he was at face value.


Others tried their hand at adjusting the photo.



The Daily Dot noted that Callista appeared to have discovered the Facetune app in 2018 and was using it excessively.


Callista Bisek, 54, was a House of Representatives staff member who had an affair with Gingrich and became his third wife eight months after leaving office.

She is 23 years his junior.

Olympic Snowboarder Chloe Kim Sparks Debate After Calling Out Fans Who Only 'Facetune' Themselves In Photos With Her

Olympic snowboarder Chloe Kim is used to making headlines for what she does on the slopes. This week, though, she's going viral for something entirely different: a TikTok calling out fans who "Facetune" themselves in photos with her while leaving her completely unedited.

For anyone who's blissfully unfamiliar, Facetune is a photo-editing app that's become a social media staple, offering everything from skin smoothing and teeth whitening to facial reshaping and AI-powered filters. Some people use it with a light touch, while others opt for a much more dramatic transformation—but either way, it's a common part of posting selfies online.

Erin Brockovich Perfectly Lays Out Why AI Data Centers Are 'Pushing People Too Far' In Viral Clip

Self-described "people advocate"—a term she prefers over environmental activist or consumer advocate—Erin Brockovich recently sat down with comedian Theo Von on his podcast This Past Weekend. They spoke about her now adult children, the court case and resulting film that made Brockovich a household name, and what she's done since.

About a third of the way into the hour and a half long sit down, Von noted that what made him want to connect with Brockovich was an article she wrote for her Substack, The Brockovich Report, titled, "If Data Centers Are So Great, Why Are They Being Built in Secret?" which launched her mapping initiative posted on the website Brockovich AI Data Center Reporting.

Gay Conservative German Politician Resigns After Welcoming Child Via Surrogacy Despite Publicly Opposing It

German conservative Jens Spahn resigned from his position as the leader of the joint CDU/CSU (Union) parliamentary group in the 21st Bundestag after it emerged he and his husband welcomed a child via surrogacy despite openly opposing it.

Per the 1990 Embryo Protection Act, surrogacy remains illegal in Germany, a position long supported by the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), which reaffirmed its opposition earlier this year. While German law allows parents to raise children born through surrogacy abroad, arranging a surrogate within Germany is punishable by up to three years in prison or a fine.
