The Surprising Things Acai Berries Do For Your Body Shutterstock By Hope Ngo/March 8, 2020 1:20 pm EST We know them best as the purple-colored additions that add zing to our smoothie drinks and bowls. Açaí may be a fairly new (and trendy) addition to our diets, but they’ve been a staple among Brazil’s indigenous peoples for generations now (via Vogue). Thanks to their short shelf life, the berries usually come to us as pills, powders, and juices, but when they are harvested from the açaí palm trees, they are round fruits that measure about an inch, and have dark purple skin and yellow flesh....

Meghan Markle is not most people. And yet, the beloved royal knows how to pull off laid-back, quarantine chic better than anyone....

Even though The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is the project on the minds of most Marvel fans at the moment, plenty more are on the horizon. Disney took the opportunity for a little cross-promotion during today’s promotional event for The Falcon and the Winter Soldier . Several “MCU duos” made appearances to congratulate actors Anthony Mackie and Sebastian Stan on the series, including Tom Hiddleston and Owen Wilson, who will star in the Disney+ original series...

The day I quit my day job was one of the scariest of my life....

Ellen Barkin New Line Cinema/Getty Ellen Barkin has always been a go-to for small, scene-stealing roles in smart ensemble-driven movies, and she’s worked steadily since her turn as Amber’s (Kirsten Dunst) mom, Annette Atkins, in Drop Dead Gorgeous. But apart from a memorable role in Steven Soderbergh’s Oceans Thirteen (where she turned in a hilarious performance as a woman of a certain age who couldn’t get enough of Matt Damon in a prosthetic nose), her best-known work has been on the small-screen — where her particular set of skills makes her a gift to directors in this era of peak TV....

What we do know about Dylan Dreyer’s COVID-19 antibody test results Instagram Given that this test is new, and the quality can be inconsistent, doctors are still trying to figure out what the antibody screen really means for people. Patel advised Dreyer to continue to practice safe social distancing, but perhaps most key, is to inform anyone she has spent time with that they could have been exposed. “The reason why is because you can actually develop antibodies and still have active virus, for example, and potentially infect others,” Patel elaborated....

When You Drink A Frappuccino Every Day, This Is What Happens To Your Body Shutterstock By Korey Denton/May 22, 2020 12:26 pm EST It’s tempting to drink a Frappuccino every day, especially when it’s been a long, hot day and you want a nice, cold drink to cool you off. Heck, even on a cold day, a cold drink can still sound refreshing. But just because a certain ice-cold drink is popular (and totally delicious) that doesn’t mean it’s smart to drink every day....

Every year we get sucked into the next best thing in beauty and every year we’re left slightly disappointed. But while leave-in conditioner might not technically be new, according to hair experts, you should definitely believe the increasing hype....

Wonder Woman 1984 had a big day at DC FanDome.. During the virtual panel for the film, a new trailer was unveiled which included, among other exciting things, the first good look at Kristen Wiig’s villainous Cheetah. Famed film composer Hans Zimmer is on musical scoring duties for WW84. Zimmer has contributed to other DC films in the past such as Man of Steel and the Dark Knight trilogy. The composer’s trademark, bombastic sound has earned him a fan-favorite status....

The DC Extended Universe has several confirmed projects scheduled for release, although Warner Bros. always has more than a few entries in the early stages of development for the future. Most recently, plans were reported for a new Superman entry featuring a Black leading hero, which is still likely some time away from coming to fruition. While it’s somewhat disappointing that Henry Cavill’s time as the Man of Steel seems to be over, Warner Bros....

The DCEU is full of what-ifs, and one of them is the sequel potential of Henry Cavill’s Man of Steel. Directed by Zack Snyder, the 2013 film served as the launchpad of the superhero franchise, introducing a new Superman anchored by a fresh origin story and a much darker take for the character. The film delivered many iconic moments and introduced several major players like Amy Adams’ Lois Lane and Diana Lane’s Martha Kent....

It’s obvious at this point that Warner Bros. wants nothing more than to move on from Zack Snyder, which is seemingly mutual. Snyder admitted in March that Joss Whedon’s Justice League was still considered canon rather than his own director’s cut. It got even worse when Warner Bros. put out a trailer for Zack Snyder’s “trilogy,” further implying that there wouldn’t be a continuation of Snyder’s universe and story. ADVERTISEMENT...

After a very lengthy grassroots campaign and numerous teases, Zack Snyder’s Justice League will finally debut on HBO Max this March. The four-hour-long film will be a unique entry to the DCEU, considering that it will provide a brand new spin to what was already presented in the theatrical cut back in 2017. The promotion for Zack Snyder’s Justice League kicked into high gear last month when the official trailer debuted, showcasing new scenes that offered a fresh look and feel for the film....

Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is quickly turning into one of Marvel Studios’ most impactful Phase 4 stories, although it’s still more than 18 months from debuting to the public. Following up on Scott Lang’s adventures from 2018’s Ant-Man and the Wasp and 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, the threequel will throw Paul Rudd’s hero into an intense story featuring the Quantum Realm and more powerful villains than ever before. Of course, leading the way on the villain front will be Jonathan Majors, who will deliver his first full take on Kang the Conqueror after giving fans a tease of his upcoming impact in the Loki Season 1 finale....

In just a few short weeks, Marvel Studios is set to deliver its 26th theatrical release with Chloé Zhao’s Eternals. Introducing more than a dozen major players into the MCU’s ever-growing narrative, this movie will serve as a vessel for fans to learn about the franchise’s earliest days within the story as well as follow up on recent events. Utilizing a blast to the past by showing the Eternals’ arrival on Earth close to 7000 years ago, much of the plot will tackle a world in flux after Bruce Banner snapped his fingers and brought half the universe back to life....

Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness may not have reached the same intense fervor that the conversation surrounding Spider-Man: No Way Home did, but nonetheless, there’s plenty to discuss and theorize. After all, this is the Multiverse. The film will bring back Benedict Cumberbatch’s Strange, Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff, and Benedict Wong’s Sorcerer Supreme in order to confront the sickness ailing reality itself. The trailers have provided tons of interesting tidbits to fans....

2018’s Avengers: Infinity War (along with Avengers: Endgame the following year) was Marvel Studios’ most ambitious attempt at a crossover yet. Released over two years ago, the first film pulled together the various corners of the MCU into one bombastic franchise mash-up. Sam Hargrave is a stunt performer, choreographer, and director for a number of well known blockbusters, Infinity War included. Today, Hargrave decided to belatedly commemorate Bucky Barnes actor Sebastian Stan for his 38th birthday yesterday....
