The Universe has a new Miss and Ty Ty approves.
Miss Philippines, Catriona Gray, was crowned Miss Universe 2018 on Sunday night, and some are speculating that her signature runway walk may have sealed the deal.
Even America's Next Top Model creator and supermodel Tyra Banks agreed.
The final moment arrived.
Folks just could not get over that walk.
Banks reached out to Gray on Twitter to show her support and the two shared a special social media moment.
If Tyra loves it, we all love it.
Former actor, comedian, and Fear Factor host turned podcaster Joe Rogan has spent years profiting off the conspiracy theorists, Christian nationalists, and White supremacists that make up the MAGA movement.
But lately, Rogan has gone from enabling Republican President Donald Trump and his cronies to criticizing them.
Then on Thursday, March 26, Rogan went after the MAGA minions.
Rogan told guest Dave Smith:
"That phrase [Make America Great Again] sucks. America is great. Make America greater? I’m down."
"But MAGA? And then it becomes a movement of a bunch of dorks? A lot of them are these really weird, f*cking uninteresting, unintelligent people."
You can see his comments here:
On Saturday, MAGA Republican Vice President JD Vance attempted to brush off Rogan's comments in an interview with right-wing plagiarist turned podcaster Benny Johnson, who asked for his thoughts.
Vance responded:
"I think we have many, many fewer dorks than the far left, but everybody’s got some dorks. We love our dorks. We love our cool kids. We love anybody who wants to save the country."
You can see his response here:
People agreed MAGA has dorks, especially Vance.

Vance and Johnson seemed to ignore that Rogan also called members of the MAGA movement, which includes both of them, "uninteresting" and "unintelligent."
Trump himself has said that smart people don't like him, implying those devoted to him are idiots. And over the weekend, Trump seemed to back Rogan's assessment of his MAGA minions again.
Trump said:
"It’s a good thing to have a lot of losers. I always like to hang around with losers, actually, ’cause it makes me feel better."
"I hate guys that are very, very successful and you have to listen to their success stories. I like people that like to listen to my success."

It seems clear even the MAGA minions' Dear Leader agrees with Joe Rogan.
At the movie premiere for the British crime thriller Fuze opposite Divergent's Theo James, Aaron Taylor-Johnson walked the red carpet rocking a new look that wowed his fans.
Since his breakout role in 2008 in Nowhere Boy, the 28 Years Later star is well-known for his dark-brown, curly locks that frame a face with bright, blue eyes and a beard. While he was clean-shaven at a much younger age for Kick-A** and even appeared blond for Anna Karenina, Taylor-Johnson is best known for his signature darker features.
However, when the Bullet Train star appeared on the red carpet for Fuze, he still had his fabulous, dark brown locks, more carefully curled than usual, thick but shaped eyebrows, and an otherwise clean-shaven face. The new, clean look revealed a jaw worthy of a Superman role, and his overall appearance would be very fitting in a Greek Mythology retelling.
Here's a peek at Aaron Taylor-Johnson's new look:
His appearance prompted a passionate reaction, as some people could not believe how different he looked, while others confessed that they wouldn't have recognized him at all without prompting.
Some people did not stand a chance at recognizing this man in his new form.
Others compared him to Jeremy Allen White and Timothée Chalamet.
Some were simply shocked by the transformation.
But some pointed out that a clean shave, a new haircut, and a little more age could dramatically change a person's look.
It's almost shocking how much a haircut and restyle can change the public perception of someone's looks, not to mention if they shave their facial hair, take off their glasses, or age a few years.
We're all so quick to say that we would recognize Clark Kent as Superman, or Bruce Wayne as Batman, or even the facial features of The Hulk and Bruce Banner, but situations like this prove that we really might not.
It's unclear if Aaron Taylor-Johnson is sporting a new look for a role or is simply changing up his appearance, but everyone can agree that he definitely looks like a whole new person.
Comedian Nick Cannon received a blunt history lesson after claiming on a recent episode of his web talk show Big Drive that the Democratic Party is "the party of the KKK."
After his guest, model Amber Rose, said that Democrats “don’t care about people of color and the Republicans do,” Cannon said:
"I agree with you 100%. People don’t know that the Democrats are the party of the KKK. People don’t know that the Republicans are the party that freed the slaves."
"I mean, both of you and I have some conservative views. You’re just a little bit more outspoken than I am. And honestly, I don’t subscribe to either party."
"I rock with W. E. B. Du Bois, when he said there’s no such thing as two parties. It’s just one evil party with two different names.”
You can hear what Cannon said in the video below.
Cannon is wrong because the Republicans of Abraham Lincoln's day bear no resemblance to the Republicans of today.
Lincoln's opposition, the Southern Democrats, defended slavery in the 19th century and proposed the racist laws that were on the books for decades well into the 20th century. The United States presidential election of 1860 formalized the split in the Democratic Party and brought about the American Civil War.
The monopoly Southern Democrats held in the southern states after the war fractured as support for desegregation and civil rights reforms took center stage and many white southerners switched to the Republican Party at the national level subsequent to the passage of civil rights legislation.
Thus, the claim that Democrats are "the party of the KKK" is about as false and misleading as a claim Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul made several years ago about Democrats bearing responsibility for the creation of Jim Crow laws, which were state and local laws enforcing racial segregation in the Southern U.S.
It is the Republicans of today who are leading a nationwide immigration crackdown that has disproportionately targeted Latinos and other people of color.
President Donald Trump himself has for decades been accused of racial animus and claimed during his 2024 campaign that immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country," echoing fascists like Adolf Hitler, who wrote about "blood poisoning" in his book Mein Kampf.
Cannon was swiftly called out.
Sounds like Cannon might need to pick up a history book.
A Florida man decided to trust ChatGPT with something most people wouldn’t hand over lightly: pricing, listing, negotiations, even the legal paperwork. Just five days later, he had a nearly $1 million sale on the books, landing about $100,000 higher than what real estate agents told him was realistic.
Robert Levine claimed that ChatGPT walked him through planning, pricing, and marketing:
“I really wanted to challenge myself to use AI for the entire journey, not just piecemeal, every step along the way.”
The South Florida father of three said the AI tool helped guide everything from early packing to pre-sale improvements, including which rooms to repaint for maximum return and when to list the home on the Multiple Listing Service.
Levine detailed ChatGPT’s role in prepping the home:
“We repainted a couple of rooms in the house because ChatGPT said that's where you're going to get the biggest return on investment. The most important thing it did for us was build out a timeline. Here's when you need to start packing your house.”
Within 72 hours, Levine said he had five offers. The home ultimately sold for $954,800 just five days after hitting the market. And the contract? Also generated with the help of ChatGPT.
There’s no question Levine views the experiment as a success. He avoided paying a traditional real estate commission and told Fortune the home sold for roughly $100,000 more than agents had suggested.
But there’s an important caveat that tends to get buried in the headline-friendly version of this story: Levine still hired a lawyer to review the contract and related legal documents.
Levine addressed the financial upside:
“We estimate that leveraging these AI tools will save us about 3% of the total sale price, which in our case is a meaningful amount of money.”
He also made it clear that AI isn’t replacing real estate agents outright—at least not yet—framing it instead as part of a broader shift in how people approach complex transactions.
Levine, on AI’s growing role:
“The impact they make is very real. And some folks maybe aren't prepared to do that themselves, but the more you use AI, the more confident you'll become in leveraging those tools.”

For all its perceived utility, ChatGPT still couldn’t handle everything. Levine noted that while the tool helped him choose a moving company, it stopped short of actually packing boxes.
Still, not everyone is buying the narrative at face value as the internet debated the story’s bigger implications, questioning how much of the success was actually driven by AI versus Levine’s own expertise and resources.
You can view the reactions below:
A closer look at what ChatGPT actually did in this case suggests something less revolutionary than the headlines imply. Much of the guidance—pricing research, listing strategy, basic timelines—mirrors information that’s already widely accessible through standard online searches, albeit packaged more conveniently.
Then there’s Levine himself. Beyond being a homeowner, he’s also the CEO of ComOps, a consulting firm focused on operations, customer experience, and digital strategy, context that adds another layer to how this story is being received, particularly given the company’s use of AI-driven tools.
Levine leaned into that angle in a recent LinkedIn post:
"I didn't do this for publicity—I did it to challenge myself. At ComOps, we spend a lot of time helping clients turn insights into action using AI."
The legal piece, in particular, has drawn scrutiny. While ChatGPT may have helped draft documents, the involvement of a human lawyer undercuts the idea that the process was fully automated or risk-free.
Even some of the more widely praised elements, like building a timeline, fall into a category that skeptics argue doesn’t require advanced AI so much as structured planning. And driving much of the conversation is that tension between what’s genuinely new and what’s simply more efficient packaging.
Levine’s sale may point to how AI can streamline parts of a traditionally complex process, but it also highlights the boundaries: expertise still matters, professional oversight remains essential, and not every headline-worthy result is easily replicated.
Audiences have definitely been "girding their loins" ever since it was announced there was to be a sequel to The Devil Wears Prada, with Meryl Streep returning to her Academy Award-nominated role of imperious fashion editor Miranda Priestly, and Anne Hathaway returning as her former assistant, Andrea "Andy" Sachs.
Their excitement only grew when the trailer for the film was dropped, with Streep's iconic silver bob and spine-chilling lip-purse back in place.
While the first Devil Wears Prada saw Miranda and Andy accompany one another on an unforgettable trip to Paris, this time the duo will travel to Milan, with scenes of the film actually shot on location during Milan fashion week.
As Streep told Harper's Bazaar for a profile on co-star Hathaway, the runway models the Oscar-winning costars saw while in Milan caught them both somewhat off-guard.
Streep said she was "struck by how not only beautiful and young—everyone seems young to me—but alarmingly thin the models were," and that Hathaway "clocked it too."
Indeed, Hathaway was so struck by the sizes of the models that she felt some changes were needed regarding the film's casting:
"She made a beeline to the producers about it, securing promises that the models in the show that we were putting together for our film would not be so skeletal!"
While Streep found her co-star to be a "stand-up girl" for her actions, users on X (formerly Twitter) were somewhat more divided.
Many agreed that Hathaway was, indeed, a "stand-up girl" and that her actions were an important step toward improving the eternal problem of body shaming in the fashion industry, as well as Hollywood:
Others, however, were more conflicted, pointing out how this is ultimately an unrealistic depiction of the fashion industry, with some even questioning if excluding models for being too thin was hypocritical:
One can't help but wonder if this move by Hathaway was a direct response to some of the frequent body sensitivity and body shaming scenarios found in the first Devil Wears Prada film.
The first film saw Hathaway's character Andy frequently the target of fat and/or body-shaming jokes, with Miranda even referring to her as the "smart fat girl," and the naturally svelte Hathaway even wearing "butt pads" in some of the film's earlier scenes.
Similarly, Emily Blunt as Miranda's senior assistant, Emily, a role the Oscar nominee will also be reprising for the sequel, deliberately starved herself for a portion of the film in order to maintain a perfect figure ahead of her planned trip to Paris.
Sadly, there are very few former or working models who haven't felt the pressure to maintain "skeletal" figures in order to remain relevant in this industry.
Perhaps this campaign of sorts by Hathaway and Streep might lead to the first step towards improving this rather horrifying reality?
We'll just have to wait and see after May 1, when The Devil Wears Prada 2 is released.
