People Who Physically Peaked In High School Are Sharing What They Look Like Now, And It's The Most Honest Trend Ever
A few years ago, women were participating in a "glow down" challenge where they shared how much their looks had changed since high school. The trend was started by TikTok user @gabslife99, who explained, "I physically peaked in high school. Like, the hottest I've ever been was when I was 18. I look nothing like that now."
And while @gabslife99 didn't share what she used to look like in high school, she did challenge other women to share their pics in a #glowdownchallenge — and the women delivered! Like TikToker @anitatrzebunia:

A Group of Friends Reunite, Get Stoned and Freak Out in Fun Trailer For Ensemble Comedy NUKED — GeekTyrant
A funny new trailer has been released for the ensemble comedy Nuked , featuring Anna Camp, Justin Bartha, Lucy Punch, George Young, Tawny Newsome, Ignacio Serrichio, Maulik Pancholy, Stephen Guarino, Natasha Leggero, and Cole Stockel. The movie follows a reunion of friends who are coming together to celebrate a 40th birthday, complete with an 'unplug box' for them to put their phones in for minimal distractions and maximum connections, as well as a chef who curated a cannabis-infused menu for the event. As you'll see, when news hits of a world-wide impending disaster, havoc ensues. The film is written and directed by Deena Kashper ( Thirtyish ), based on a story by Deena and Danny Kashper. The full synopsis reads: 'It's Jack & Gill's 40th birthdays, so the long-time sweethearts invite their college friends for a night away to celebrate. When couples arrive at the rented mansion, Jack and Gill surprise them with an unplugged party, confiscating their phones for the evening. To appease their friends' unease, Jack and Gill also announce their five-course meal will be a cannabis-infused journey. Lots and lots of cannabis. That did the trick. The dinner's in full swing, until someone sneaks a peek at their phone and discovers a nuclear bomb is headed right for Los Angeles. Holy f#$k. The pot kicks in right as they realize they may only have 30 minutes to live. Will they survive in the makeshift basement bomb shelter, or will they get nuked?' This looks like a silly good time. Nuked originally premiered at Tribeca Film Festival last year, and it's set for release in select US theaters and on VOD on July 11th. Check out the trailer below, and let us know what you think:

Getting hitched? Here are some of Pueblo's best wedding venues to consider for the big day
Pueblo lovebirds who have decided to tie the knot have hundreds of choices to make before the big day, from where to get hitched to what to wear, who to invite, what to eat, what kind of flowers to use for decorating, and who to hire for photography. When it comes to choosing the site, considerations often include whether the ceremony will be indoors or outdoors (or a little of both), as well as atmosphere, accommodations, staff, accessibility, and even parking. Josh and Kristan Lepik of Lepik Photography have been capturing memorable moments of Puebloans' wedding events for the past 12 years. They've spent a lot of time gauging the pros and cons of wedding venues they've worked at and have shared blog posts on their website that help newlyweds-to-be decide where they want to hold their big event. "We are trying to be that premier place to help choose venues. We started with a blog on the Abriendo Inn and the Union Depot and we are currently working on the convention center," Josh Lepik told the Chieftain. The photographers' website also lists considerations to take into account for several different photography locations and sample pictures at each site. They even get into details like whether there is a parking fee. When it comes to making the choice, sometimes multiple options get the nod. "We had one couple that got married at a very tiny church and then the reception was in a backyard so neither place was great for photos," he explained. It turned out that Lake Pueblo was between the church and the reception, "so we went to the north entrance of the reservoir and there is a road off to the right with a half-circle parking lot and that's right by the water so that's where we took the photos." "The good thing about Pueblo is that you can get anywhere in 20 minutes. We try to find unique places around Pueblo that can make it epic," Lepik explained. The former passenger train station, built in 1889, is a red-brick marvel harkening back to the Romanesque era. A large banquet hall can accommodate up to 500 guests and is used for more than 200 events yearly, from wedding receptions to private parties. "It is a great location, has a bridal loft for getting ready and plenty of photo opportunities," Lepik said. Find out more at This circa 1906 blonde-brick four-story mansion offers a fairy-tale-like setting for weddings. The Abriendo Inn is owned by Jeff and Cindy Baily. Cindy Baily has three decades of experience as a wedding planner and the couple hosts 10 to 12 weddings and receptions each year, ranging from 30 people inside to up to 325 people outside. The inn has "obvious beauty both inside, with stunning woodwork, stained glass windows, and chandeliers, and outside with beautiful lawn, trees and a water fountain," Cindy Bailey said. "There are plenty of rooms for all guests to get ready, and it's a beautiful property for taking lots of pictures," Lepik said. "We offer clients a one-stop shop for their special day. Couples and guests can attend the ceremony and reception all in one place, eliminating the need to travel to a new location for each part of the event," Cindy Bailey explained. Find out more at Surrounded by green meadows, aspen and pine trees, and breathtaking views of the Wet Mountain Range, Brush Canyon Ranch is a private, quiet mountain location that specializes in outdoor weddings. The facility is highlighted by a ceremony gazebo, a reception pavilion and cabin lodging. "It is a great location with suites for both the bride and groom to get ready, plus it is great for photos," Lepik said. Find out more at The 1997 convention center received major upgrades in 2019. The center can accommodate almost any budget and weddings ranging from 25 to 1,000 guests With an in-house culinary team, the center staff can also handle the reception and feeding guests. "It is one of the top places in Pueblo. They can accommodate any size of wedding with multiple rooms that can expand. It is in the heart of downtown with lots of parking and is easily accessible," Lepik said. He pointed out the convention center has limited photo opportunities, "unless you drive a short distance or walk to the riverwalk." Some other popular wedding venues in Pueblo include the , which is centrally located in the heart of downtown and provides nice shade; the , which has Industrial vibes, an outdoor patio and inside space; and the , which is a "wonderful riverwalk venue with plenty of parking where there are lots of photo opportunities," Lepik said. Both and can be good outdoor-only wedding venues with "plenty of space for everyone, which makes them great for the ceremony and reception," Lepik said. "The only downside is they are fully outdoors, so weather will be the biggest factor." Pueblo is also home to several other smaller event and reception halls and there are several other ranches that also host weddings in the county. The Lepiks have worked to build up their business and that effort has won them Best of Pueblo Community Choice Awards for photography businesses for the past few years. They said one thing they've learned is that there are many great choices for photos in the community. The old jailhouse, the Station at the Riverwalk, a public sidewalk with beautiful blooming trees in the background, the dome in Mineral Palace Park, and many other places can be ideal to capture memories of the big day. "We got married at the top of the (Rawlings) library on Abriendo. You can rent out the whole rooftop of the library and it was insanely cheap," Lepik said. "We felt like we were on top of the city, on top of the library on top of the hill on Abriendo. We had half indoor and half outdoor accomodations and it was truly cool," he explained.

After the show's 90th wedding, real couples from ‘90 Day Fiancé' explain why love for the franchise endures
When '90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way' cast members Shekinah Garner and Sarper Güven got married in bed, the pair seemed to thrill and enrage their audience in equal measure. Some viewers offered up congratulations to the newlyweds in comments on social media, while others viewed the nuptials as a stunt meant to garner the pair more airtime. Welcome to the world of the '90 Day' franchise, shows people love to watch and live to hate-watch. Garner and Güven's wedding was the 90th of the franchise, which has multiple shows and millions of fans. The original show, '90 Day Fiancé,' premiered on TLC in January 2014, featuring stories about Americans who fall in love with people from other countries. The '90 day' refers to the amount of time an individual with a K-1 fiancé(e) visa has to marry their US sponsor and start the process to become an American citizen. The franchise has grown to have multiple spinoff series, including '90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days,' '90 Day: The Single Life,' '90 Day Fiancé: Love in Paradise' and 'The Last Resort.' (Like CNN, TLC is part of Warner Bros. Discovery.) Loren and Alexei Brovarnik joined the show in 2015 after meeting and falling in love in Israel, where she had traveled as part of a birthright trip in 2013. Viewers have followed their lives over the past ten years as they settled in Florida and welcomed three children. It hasn't always been easy, something Loren learned after she underwent a surgical 'mommy makeover,' which caused some tension with her husband and divided viewers. 'You're always being judged,' Loren Brovernik told CNN. 'You're damned if you do, you're damned if you don't and you can't do it right no matter what.' Public scrutiny hasn't dissuaded the couple from participating in several spinoffs, including '90 Day Fiancé: Pillow Talk' and 'Loren & Alexei: After the 90 Days.' They will next be seen in a new season of '90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After?' 'It's a brilliant concept and every story is different,' Brovernik said of the entire franchise. Alon Orstein, senior vice president for production and development for TLC, credits the appeal of '90 Day' shows to their mix of romance and drama. 'It's boy meets girl, boy meets boy, girl meets girl,' he said. 'People love to see the romantic journeys. People love the rollercoaster relationships, and '90 Day Fiancé' gives it this twist of this international component.' He insists that the show is not scripted, as some on social media have suggested. Orstein said they aim to cast individuals who are 'open, being honest, giving full access, being ready to wear your heart on your sleeve, being ready to dig deep and to be ready, willing and able to sort of have your most intimate experiences be out there.' 'That's not so easy. Not everyone can do that, and it's something that we have to be mindful of in the casting process. And sometimes even during productions people become more guarded,' Orstein said. 'It's hard to do these stories and to make a show like this if people aren't ready to sort of open up and give full access. That's really what makes the best cast members, people who are just ready to go there.' Kenny Niedermeier and Armando Rubio became famous for their appearance on '90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way,' when Niedermeier moved to Mexico, married Rubio and become co-parent to Rubio's daughter, Hannah, 12. The couple even had a spin-off in 2022, titled 'Kenny & Armando: Love Is Love.' The two men said they didn't quite know what to expect when they joined the franchise, but it's been a great experience. 'I think our favorite part is that we were able to tell our story, and I think it helped a lot of people that are in our situation that might feel kind of left out or they feel like a lot of people don't support them,' Niedermeier said. He added that occasional negativity they received for sharing their lives was something that made them closer. 'We felt so much support along the way,' Niedermeier said. 'We weren't sure what we to expect when we signed on to do '90 Day Fiancé,' but we were pleasantly surprised and I think it really made a difference in our lives.' The new season of '90 Day Fiance: Happily Ever After?' premieres Sunday, July 6 at 8pm ET/PT on TLC.
