WhatsApp is introducing a redesigned emoji reaction panel across its messaging platform, with the update already available to Android beta testers. The improved interface, spotted in WhatsApp beta for Android 2.25.6.15 on the Google Play Store, transforms how emoji reactions appear throughout the app with a more structured and efficient layout. The most significant change comes to the reaction display system, which now arranges emojis in a grid format with four reactions per row. This redesign specifically addresses the space constraints in the previous vertical list format, which became unwieldy, particularly in channels where reactions tend to be more numerous.…

Pill-popping, tension and temperatures are rising among the guests of “The White Lotus.” Here’s what went down during Season 3’s snarky and slithering third episode. The Ratliff family Timothy’s phone won’t stop ringing, and he learns that the FBI is in the process of raiding his office back home. The calls keep coming, and when Saxon – who proudly works with his dad – also starts getting calls, Tim decides to hastily reverse course and give White Lotus staffer Pam (Morgana O’Reilly) all the family’s phones and computers for a true digital detox. The diversion tactic doesn’t alleviate Tim’s stress…
There is comfort food and then there is comfort food TV. The latter feels particularly like what audiences are hungry for right now as cooking and lifestyle shows can be a way to decompress – even if some of the content might be more aspirational than practical. Celebrities with cooking shows are not new, but the field is more crowded than ever. There are some new entrants in the space, one that has been doing it for a while and one you will be able to watch if you have access to Canadian television. Allow us to explain: The artist…
Steve Carell is making sure Altadena-based high school seniors will make it to their prom after the community was devastated by the Eaton wildfire in January.

This is Steve Carell with a very special announcement,” “The Office” star said in the video. “Alice’s Kids wanted me to let you know that they will be paying for all…
At least Millie Bobby Brown won’t have to change the initials for monogrammed towels. The “Stranger Things” star has revealed that her professional name is not actually her real name. Brown revealed that information during a recent conversation with her “Electric State” costar, Chris Pratt, who asked her about her middle name during a joint interview with Buzzfeed. “My middle name is Bonnie,” the 21-year-old said. “Millie Bobby Bonnie Brown?” Pratt responded. “No Bobby, it’s Millie Bonnie Brown,” she told him. “I’ve never told anyone that. Ya heard it here first!” Pratt seemed as surprised as the rest of us.…
Ione Skye has lived quite the life, and now she has decided to “Say Everything.” That’s the title of her new memoir, and boy is it juicy. The actress has been making the rounds conducting interviews, and the tea is piping hot. Here’s some of what we learned: Hooking up with John Cusack: The pair starred together in the hit 1989 film “Say Anything.” Skye writes – almost offhandedly – that years after working together on the project, the two slept together, following her divorce in 2000 from Beastie Boys member Adam “Ad-Rock” Horovitz. The story comes up as she’s…
Federal prosecutors allege Sean “Diddy” Combs forced an employee to engage in sex acts and threatened others with physical force and financial harm if they did not help him carry out a sex trafficking scheme that lasted two decades, according to a superseding indictment unsealed Thursday. The additional allegations were included as new details in the racketeering conspiracy charge Combs is already facing. Combs has pleaded not guilty to racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution. The amended federal indictment from the US Attorney’s Office in the Southern District of New York does not include any new…
For decades, the Kennedy Center has come to symbolize freedom of expression, representation and creativity in the performing arts. Since the Kennedy Center opened its doors in 1971 as both an arts complex and a living memorial to President John F. Kennedy, performers from all over the world in dance, theater, music and more, have graced its stages. As a partially federally-funded institution, it has had historically bipartisan support and no sitting president has ever served as its chairman. Until now, that is. President Donald Trump was elected chairman by a board that excluded the 18 Democratic appointees who were purged by…

Wanda Sykes has a hilarious reason why she wanted to play Kevin Hart’s mother in his new animated series, “Lil Kev.” “I get to yell at Kevin all the time,” she deadpanned to CNN. “That’s it.” It’s the type of humor viewers can expect from the adult animated series, which streams on BET+. “Adult” because while it’s based on Hart’s childhood in north Philadelphia in the ’90s, the comedy is definitely subversive and for grown-ups. Hart told CNN the new show was inspired by the humor in his household growing up. “As an adult, looking back on those times and…
