Best. News. Ever. You Can Now Turn Your Selfies into Emoji

Is it just us? Or are emoji taking over the world? Not only are they being printed on shoes and greeting cards, but there are a whole new fleet of emjoi-centric apps being released, like one to make emoji art, a social network to speak in solely hand claps and even this awesome Seinfeld set. But now emoji are going where no emoticon have gone before: They’re turning YOUR SELFIE into a fun, little, textable graphic. Yep, it’s true. You can now be an emoji with the new Imoji app.

This crazy-awesome FREE new app allows iPhone users to transform their photos into emoji stickers and text ‘em to your friends. Just take a selfie (or a funny pic of your cat), trace and crop it in the app and drag it to the center of the screen. The emoji stickers you make will save in the app for future use, but you can create as many new ones as you want.

The app also allows you to make your creation private (for your use only) or public. If you opt for the latter, it becomes part of the community. Do you know what this means?!? You can search other people’s emoji stickers and use ‘em for yourself. Epic, we know.

We all know emoji are the future (obvs), but this brings it to a whole new level. Think about the possibilities — you could make a Beyoncé emoji. Enough said, peeps.

Are you as excited as we are for the Imoji App? Talk to us in the comments below and tweet us a screenshot of your creations!

The only thing better than spending two hours with your favorite fictional characters? Spending 7 hours with them! Cruel Intentions (you know, the 1999 classic starring Reese Witherspoon, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, and Selma Blair) is turning 25 this year, and Prime Video is releasing a brand new TV show inspired by the movie. And the series has a fresh twist that will keep even the most dedicated Cruel Intentions fan on their toes. Here's everything you need to know about the show!

  • The Cruel Intentions TV show, inspired by the 1999 film, is coming to Prime Video.
  • The cast includes Sarah Catherine Hook & Zac Burgess. While Selma Blair isn't listed, "maybe there will be a cameo."
  • The series premieres on Prime Video this November.

    Where can I watch Cruel Intentions TV show?

    Cruel Intentions Release Date

    All eight episodes of Cruel Intentions drop on Prime Video November 21, 2024. That means you can watch them all in one sitting (and then watch them again...and again) or you can spread them out over Thanksgiving week. Is there anything better than watching a new TV show with a cranberry cocktail? I think not.

    Did they remake Cruel Intentions?

    Jasper Savage/Prime Video

    Cruel Intentions Plot

    Yes, the Cruel Intentions TV show is a remake of the 1999 movie! This new adaptation takes place at a prestigious college in Washington, D.C. Step-siblings Caroline Merteuil and Lucien Belmont are determined to stay on top of the food chain — especially after a dangerous frat hazing threatens to eliminate the school's Greek Life. The best way to keep the sororities and fraternities on campus? Seduce the most unexpected sorority sister: Vice President's daughter Annie Grover.

    Who's in Cruel Intentions?

    Jasper Savage/Prime Video

    Cruel Intentions Cast

    Prime Video's new Cruel Intentions is full of standout actors, and I can't wait to see their moment in the spotlight! The cast includes Sarah Catherine Hook as Caroline Merteuil, Zac Burgess as Lucien Belmont, Savannah Lee Smith as Annie Grover, Sara Silva as Cece Carroway, John Harlan Kim as Blaise Powell, Khobe Clarke as Scott Russell, Sean Patrick Thomas as Professor Hank Chadwick, and Brooke Lena Johnson as Beatrice Worth.

    The original Cruel Intentions movie stars Sarah Michelle Gellar, Ryan Phillippe, Reese Witherspoon, and Selma Blair. While there's no word on whether any of the OG cast will return, I'd love nothing more than to see Reese make a cameo! Selma told Variety on October 24 that even though she hadn't been asked to join the series, she'd love to make an appearance. "Maybe there will be a cameo or something," she says. "I’m excited to see it.”

    Let us know on Instagram if you want to see Reese Witherspoon or Selma Blair appear in the Cruel Intentions TV show, and check out the other November TV shows you absolutely can't miss.

    Mix And Match Art Styles

    Think beyond the print and consider original artwork as part of your lasting art collection. Combining different art forms not only adds visual interest but also lets you explore unique textures, colors, and dimensions. Pair a thought-provoking painting with a whimsical sculpture to create a collection that sparks conversation. There’s creativity in building your art collection – have fun with it! The key is finding an element, perhaps a color palette or a theme, that ties them all together.

    Set The Mood With Placement

    Give your artwork the space it deserves to make it really shine. Landscape pieces in the dining room can create a serene vibe while bright and energetic artwork in a home office can inspire creativity. Let your art guide the mood and function of a room. Consider size, style and theme of the artwork when deciding where to display it too. Large, bold pieces can make an amazing focal point in a living room while smaller pieces grouped together make a great gallery wall. Singulart will create a collection based on your preferences to help you curate the perfect gallery wall too. Browse their curated picks too!

    Play With Color + Texture

    Consider your existing color scheme at home and choose art pieces that complement or contrast them. Bold, vibrant artwork can breathe new life into a neutral room, while textured pieces can add depth and playfulness to a minimal design. Want to give a piece you love the spotlight? Enhance the impact of your art with accent lights or natural light (just make sure to protect it as directed).

    Rotate And Refresh

    What’s fun about a personal art collection is that you can swap it in a new space for an instant refresh. Consider changing art with the seasons or moving art from one room to the next to give it more exposure in a high-traffic space.


    Once you’ve begun to curate art pieces that resonate with you, it’s essential to take good care of your purchases so they’ll stand the test of time and continue to bring you joy.

    Here are a few tips on how to preserve your art for a lifetime:

    1. Avoid hanging artwork in direct sunlight or in a space with extreme fluctuations in temperature. Sunlight can cause fading overtime, so explore UV-filtering framing options and be mindful of how the light can change in your space throughout the year.
    2. Keep a microfiber cloth or soft, clean brush on hand for routine dusting and cleaning of your art. Avoid any chemical cleaning solutions or water that could damage the work.
    3. Research the art trends associated with your work and learn more about the creator behind the art so you can take pride in the pieces you’ve curated and feel super knowledgeable about them.

    Treat your art with love and care, and let your imagination run wild to create a collection that is truly a reflection of you and your creativity!

    While I've been keeping up with all the buzz surrounding Demi Moore's The Substance, and definitely understood it was THE feminist movie of the fall, I remember opening X in mid-October, seeing an unhinged photo of Margaret Qualley as Monstro Elisasue, and thinking to myself, Wow, apparently I do not know what this movie is about.

    If you're in the mood for a new, edgy horror movie that you can watch anytime of year, then do I have good news for you: The Substance is streaming now! Here's everything you need to know about the flick, including how to watch it this weekend because it will definitely make a great Halloween movie.

    • The Substance is streaming now, but it's also still available to see in theaters following its September 20 release date.
    • The movie follows an actress supposedly past her prime who takes matters into her own hands with a powerful serum called The Substance.
    • The cast includes Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid.

    Where can I watch The Substance 2024?

    The Substance Release Date

    The Substance is streaming on Mubi and is available on Fandango at Home. You can also see the movie in theaters now. The Substance premiered on September 20.

    What is The Substance movie about?

    Mubi

    The Substance Plot

    In Coralie Fargeat's new movie, Elisabeth Sparkle (Demi Moore) is a used-to-be A-lister who's horrified when studio head Harvey (Dennis Quaid) fires her from her own fitness TV show. (The audacity!) When she learns about The Substance, a new drug that promises youth and beauty, she immediately buys in.

    A single injection and suddenly she's Sue, a twenty-something (played by Margaret Qualley) who's exactly what Hollywood is looking for. There's just one rule: you can only spend a week in each body at a time or things go very, very wrong.

    Who's in the cast?

    Mubi

    The Substance Cast

    The cast of The Substance includes all-star names like Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, and Dennis Quaid.

    What is the meaning behind The Substance?

    Mubi

    The Substance confronts all the different pressures placed on women: to look young, to act mature, to constantly reinvent yourself. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, writer-director Coralie Fargeat explains how Margaret's Monstro Elisasue "represents the monstrous part that we try to hide so much because we feel that we can't adapt or fit."

    The end of the movie, in which (spoiler!!) Elisabeth basically melts into a pile of flesh on top of her Hollywood Walk of Fame star, frees her from any and all expectations. "It’s the first moment where she’s able to love herself. It’s the moment she sees herself and it’s not disgust, but in fact it’s as if she’s seeing her true self for the first time," Coralie says. "There’s self-indulgence, tenderness. It’s the first time she looks at herself in the mirror and doesn’t criticize herself. She decides, okay, I’m going to go out there, this is me, I have my right to have my place in the world."

    The holidays are slowly approaching, and thank goodness, because it means all of the yummy fast food holiday menus are on their way. If you can’t get enough of a seasonal drink (perhaps a little peppermint action), listen up: Dunkin’s holiday menu for 2024 was just officially announced!

    After rumors about the Dunkin’holiday menu for 2024 had been swirling around online, the Dunkin' Instagram account just confirmed a lot of the drink and snack predictions for the lineup, and they look extra good.

    Plus, one of Dunkin's menu items is filling the void in my heart from a missing drink on the Starbucks rumored holiday menu. Hint: it involves toasted white mocha!

    The Dunkin’ holiday menu for 2024 is speculated to drop on November 1, six days before Starbucks’ rumored holiday menu will hit. Scroll on to see everything joining the Dunkin’ menu!

    When will the Dunkin' holiday menu for 2024 drop?

    Meredith Holser

    According to some menu leaks and rumors surrounding the Dunkin' holiday menu, a new lineup of drinks and snacks will become available starting November 1, 2024.

    The famed foodie account, @markie_devo, broke the news about the Dunkin' holiday menu leak first.

    Does Dunkin' have holiday cups?

    Yes, Dunkin' has holiday cups! They'll be available on November 1, once the holiday menu drops. The coffee chain posted a sneak peek of the holiday cup design on their Instagramon October 31. It appears the Dunkin' holiday cups have designs of donuts, peppermint candies, ornaments, and more. The color scheme is mostly white, orange, and pink!

    Drinks On The Dunkin' Holiday Menu 2024

    Dunkin'

    NEW! Holiday Cookie Signature Latte

    This festive new latte is made with brown sugar cookie and toasted almond syrups and topped off with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and a scoop of cookie butter crumbles. Sounds like a totally sippable dessert to me!

    Dunkin'

    NEW! Brown Sugar Cookie Oat Iced Chai Latte

    Allegedly only available to order through the Dunkin' app, the Brown Sugar Cookie Oat Iced Chai Latte sounds like it'll combine brown sugar cookie syrup with oat milk and chai to usher in the holiday season. Based on previous menu offerings, you should be able to get this drink iced or hot.

    Dunkin'

    Peppermint Mocha Latte

    The Peppermint Mocha Latte is a classic when it comes to the Dunkin' holiday menu, so I'm not surprised it's returning this year. This bev features peppermint and mocha syrups, espresso, and milk, topped with a hefty serving of whipped cream, mocha drizzle, and hot chocolate powder. Bring it on!

    Dunkin'

    Toasted White Chocolate Latte

    No shade to Starbucks, but their rumored holiday menu for 2024 kind of broke my heart when I saw the Toasted White Mocha from years past wasn't coming back. Luckily, Dunkin' is filling the void with their Toasted White Chocolate Latte: a sweet, white chocolate-filled sip topped with whipped cream, caramel drizzle, and cinnamon sugar topping!

    Dunkin'

    White Hazelnut Bark Coffee

    Available hot or iced, this coffee is prepped with a Dunkin' toasted white chocolate swirl, hazelnut flavoring, and cream. Any seasonal drink that has nutty notes wins in my book!

    Dunkin'

    Spiced Cookie Coffee

    Another reported "in-app only" drink joining the Dunkin' holiday menu, the Spiced Cookie Coffee will likely also be available to order hot or iced. I expect this bev to taste just like a snickerdoodle cookie!

    Dunkin'

    Cookie Butter Cold Brew

    I am so excited about this cold brew drink coming back for the holidays at Dunkin'. The Cookie Butter Cold Brew is made with brown sugar cookie syrup and topped with cookie butter cold foam and a scoop of cookie butter crumbles for extra crunch. Stay tuned, because there's a sweet snack joining the menu to match!

    Dunkin'

    Toasted White Chocolate Coconut Cold Brew

    This rumored app-exclusive cold brew will include notes of white chocolate and coconut – I need it now.

    Dunkin'

    Peppermint Mocha Hot Chocolate

    This anticipated app-only sip nixes the expected espresso for a very chocolatey (and peppermint-y!) effect.

    Snacks + Food On The Dunkin' Holiday Menu 2024

    Dunkin'

    NEW! Hash Brown Brisket Scramble

    Dunkin' has tested a number of breakfast Scrambles over the years, which is why I'm not totally shook by this food item coming to the holiday menu for 2024. This iteration will feature hash browns, scrambled eggs, shredded brisket, smoked cheddar cheese, poblano peppers, caramelized onions, and of course, a rich Texas queso.

    Dunkin'

    NEW! Almond Croissant

    The holiday menu will also bring the Almond Croissant to Dunkin's breakfast lineup. It's a butter croissant filled with chopped almonds!

    Dunkin'

    Cookie Butter Donut

    Yep – I need this in my belly ASAP. The Cookie Butter Donut is packed with a cookie butter filling, slathered with maple-flavored icing, then dipped in a delish speculoos cookie topping (tastes just like Biscoff cookies)! Sweet treat, anyone?
