In the Oscar awards show’s 95-year history, Malaysian actress Michelle Yeoh became the first Asian woman to win lead actress. Yeoh won for her marvelous, shape-shifting role as Evelyn Wang in the Academy Award-winning film Everything Everywhere All at Once. In her acceptance speech, Yeoh said, “For all the little boys and girls who look like me watching tonight, this is a beacon of hope and possibilities. This is proof that dreams do come true.” (Emma Yin)

Ozempic has become the newest celebrity weight loss trend. Though commonly used by diabetics, the weekly injectable drug results in a rapid loss of fat when used recreationally.
