At the time, the team at Coca‑Cola Company said they used a technology similar to what is used in baking and confectionery in the creation of Sprite Chill, in an effort to give a refreshing and cooling sensation 'from the first sip to the last."

Meta's AI voice translation feature rolls out globally
On Tuesday, Meta rolled out its new voice dubbing feature globally. The Reels feature uses generative AI to translate your voice, with optional lip-syncing. Mark Zuckerberg first previewed the feature at Meta Connect 2024. At launch, the translations are only available for English to Spanish (and vice versa). The company says more languages will arrive later. At least at first, it's restricted to Facebook creators with 1,000+ followers. However, anyone with a public Instagram account can use it. The tool trains on your original voice and generates a translated audio track to match your tone. The lip-syncing add-on then matches your mouth's movements to the translated speech. The demo clip the company showed last year was spot-on — eerily so. You can choose whether to add lip syncing and preview before posting. (Meta) To use the feature, choose the "Translate your voice with Meta AI" option before publishing a reel. That's also where you can choose to add lip syncing. There's an option to review the AI-translated version before publishing. Viewers will see a pop-up noting that it's an AI translation. Meta says the feature works best for face-to-camera videos. The company recommends avoiding covering your mouth or including excessive background music. It works for up to two speakers, but it's best to avoid overlapping your speech. The company frames the feature as a way for creators to expand their audiences beyond their native tongues. As such, it included a by-language performance tracker, so you can see how well it's doing in each language. YouTube launched a similar feature last year. Apple has gotten in on the action, too: Messages, Phone and FaceTime apps have live translation tools in iOS 26.

Justin Bieber impersonator dupes Las Vegas nightclub, sings on stage
The nightclub's parent company said in a statement that the impersonator orchestrated "an elaborate and multi-step ruse." Justin Bieber joined a popular DJ onstage and performed at a Las Vegas nightclub. Except that he didn't. Gryffin, a San Francisco-born DJ and music producer, was performing at the XS Nightclub inside the Wynn Las Vegas hotel on Aug. 16 when he was told that Bieber was at the venue and wanted to perform, he said in a video posted on his Instagram. "His 'team' said he wanted to perform 'Sorry,'" a text overlay on the video read. "Little did I know I was about to be sorry." The Bieber on stage with Gryffin was not the Grammy award-winning singer, but rather an impersonator. The DJ's video added that the look-alike performed on stage for several minutes and "sounded like Justin Bieber." "biebergate2025," the DJ captioned his post. Nightclub says impersonator carried out 'elaborate' dupe Wynn Las Vegas said in a statement to USA TODAY that the impersonator duped the club's staff. "After an elaborate and multi-step ruse by him and his advance team, a Justin Bieber impersonator was granted access to the XS stage," the statement reads. "As soon as the error was recognized, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry." In Gryffin's video, a man with a buzzed haircut, tattoos and sunglasses is seen performing Bieber's hit song, "Sorry." "Bieber in the house, y'all," Gryffin says into a microphone. Following the performance, the video shows Gryffin saying, "That was insane," before someone puts their arm around him and breaks the news that the singer on stage was not the real Bieber. "No way," Gryffin says, to which the individual responds, "Swear on my life." Justin Bieber impersonator denies trying to dupe club In a series of social media posts, a French Justin Bieber impersonator named Dylan Desclos confirmed that he was the onstage performer. Desclos's manager, Julien Colas, said in a written statement to USA TODAY that he went to the club as an impersonator and someone asked if he would like to perform. "We did many performance as impersonator," Colas said. "What have we to won by saying we are the real one? That's not our way to work. Cause, yes, it's a job. We don't want to hurt anyone."

Ariana DeBose mourns death of her mom at 57: 'My favorite person'
Ariana DeBose is in mourning after the loss of her mom and "best friend." The Oscar-winning "West Side Story" star, 34, shared in a touching Instagram post on Aug. 19 that her mother, Gina Michelle DeBose, has died at age 57 after a three-year battle with ovarian cancer. "She was my favorite person, my biggest fan and toughest critic," DeBose said. "My best friend. She was my date to every important moment in my professional and personal life — and I wouldn't have it any other way. It had always been the two of us for as long as I can remember. She fought like hell to give me a good life, a good education and every opportunity in the world. I wouldn't be where I am without her." DeBose grew up in North Carolina, and her mother, a social studies teacher, raised her as a single parent. "Because it was just the two of us, we kind of raised each other," the "Hamilton" alum told Tamron Hall in 2023. In a 2016 interview with The Great Discontent, DeBose shared that she and her mom "lived with my grandmother for a portion of my youth," and her mother and grandmother helped her get into dance. "It was financially challenging because, at that point, it was just me and my mom," she said. "She was starting out in her professional career, so it was tough, but she took me to Dance Theater of New Bern." In her Instagram tribute, DeBose noted her mother's "life's purpose, aside from being my mom, was educating young people," and she had almost 30 years of experience as a public school teacher. A post shared by Ariana DeBose (@arianadebose) "My greatest and most proud achievement will always be to have made her proud," she added. "I love you mommy. Now travel amongst the seas, the winds and the angels as I know you always loved to do." DeBose also said that she "couldn't be more proud of her and how she fought this insidious disease" for three years. According to the American Cancer Society, more than 20,000 women will be diagnosed with ovarian cancer in the United States in 2025. Ariana DeBose talks 'House of Spoils' and why she's using her platform to get out the vote When DeBose won the Oscar for best supporting actress in 2022 for "West Side Story," she shared a hug with her mom, who joined her at the ceremony. DeBose also thanked her mom in her acceptance speech, saying, "I love you with my whole heart, and this is as much yours as it is mine." Ariana DeBose talks Disney's 'Wish,' being a 'big softie' and her Oscar's newest neighbor DeBose's mother visited the set of "West Side Story" during filming and met director Steven Spielberg, the actress told People. "Watching Gina become speechless was amazing," she told the outlet. Speaking with USA TODAY in 2020, DeBose also opened up about getting support from her mom after coming out as queer at age 11. "I was like, 'Mom, I think I could like boys and girls,'" DeBose recalled. "'I just really like humans.' And she said, 'OK. Cool.' That was it. And I realized how lucky I am to have had that experience, because that is not the norm."
