Jason appeared on the clip in a dark top and donning a baseball cap.
He was first seen shaving his moustache and then beard as he promoted the brand's new collaboration and said: "This is the kick off Dune 3, I want to tell you guys, inform people, that Mananalu by Boomerang is out there trying to make change."
As he gave his take on his new look, he jokingly said: "Oh man, yeah damnnit it I hate it!"
In the clip, he spoke to the camera and said: "I think it was about six years since I did Dune, and what was really special abut that time is when I started launching Mananalu.
"At the time, we were one of the first ones to release the aluminium bottle and now six years later, airports are banning single use plastic, all these positive things are happening.
"So mananalu its a big shift.
"Now as we partner with Boomerang we have a closed loop system and the goal is to eliminate waste, cut down on all the emissions."
In his caption, he then admitted: "Haven't shaved in six years and here we are again."

]"That means even less waste, reduced shipping footprint, and our aluminum bottles get reused over and over. This is the future, and we're starting in Hawai'i.
"Let's get rid of single-use plastic. For our children and for our planet. All my aloha, J."

Federline said of his upcoming book, 'I achieved my biggest dreams, dealt with crushing heartbreak and endured constant ridicule, all while becoming the father my children needed as they experienced non-stop emotional turbulence.' Federline, who was wed to Britney from 2004 thru 2007, added that 'if you've ever had questions, you'll find answers here.'

'So, no one would buy his story, so he thinks people want to hear him read his notes app life story?' asked one user, while another said, 'Damn, he REALLY needs money!' One user on X referenced another of the Lucky singer's exes in slamming Federline.

Dave Franco breaks silence on Luigi Mangione biopic rumors after fans begged for star to play alleged assassin
Dave Franco has finally revealed whether he would play alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione onscreen - after fans went wild over their resemblance to one another. Mangione is accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson, a 50-year-old father-of-two, outside a Manhattan hotel while he was attending a work conference on December 4, 2024. He has pleaded not guilty to both state and federal charges in connection with the December murder. When the 'anti-capitalist' Ivy League student was first detained by police last year, fans began pointing out that he and Franco, 40, were 'practically twins' - and speculated prolific television writer Ryan Murphy would create a series based on him. Appearing on Watch What Happens Live! on Tuesday, Franco said of the possibility of portraying Mangione: 'Oh, how do I answer this?' 'No one has approached me about it yet, I'll say that. This is something that more people in my life reached out about this exact thing than anything else that has ever happened. Dave Franco has finally revealed whether he would play alleged CEO killer Luigi Mangione (R) onscreen - after fans went wild over their resemblance to one another Thompson's murder was captured on a chilling video 'Let's just say I'm open if the right people… and let's just leave it at that.' Amid the manhunt for the shooter, fans had taken to X to quip that Franco should be in line to play him. One said: 'Dave Franco pick up the phone.' Another posted: 'Dave Franco has a role waiting for him once this inevitably becomes a movie.' A third wrote: 'Ryan Murphy is drafting an email to Dave Franco as we speak.' 'Dave Franco's agent has been on the phone all morning,' a fourth added. Mangione was recently granted a major perk behind bars as he awaits trial. He has been given access to a laptop to use in jail in preparation of the murder trial. The laptop will be 'prepared by the government' and handed over to Mangione seven days a week, for use between 8am and 4pm, the NY Post reported. When the 'anti-capitalist' Ivy League student was detained by police days later - fans began pointing out that he and Franco, 40, were 'practically twins' - Mangione pictured in February 2025 Appearing on Watch What Happens Live! on Tuesday, Franco said of the possibility of portraying Mangione: ' Oh, how do I answer this?' 'Let's just say I'm open if the right people… and let's just leave it at that' Mangione was taken into custody after a McDonald's employee in Altoona spotted him in December U.S. District Judge Margaret M. Garnett signed an order on Monday demanding the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn begin preparations to secure the laptop. Mangione's attorneys, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, Marc Agnifilo and Jacob Kaplan, told the judge the letter would allow Mangione to 'adequately prepare for trial and assist in his own defense.' But the laptop will be disabled from accessing the internet or any wireless networks, Mangione's attorneys revealed. It will be set up with case-related documents and videos provided to Mangione's defense by the government. A red diary found in Mangione's possession when he was arrested at a McDonald's in Altoona, Pennsylvania, at the end of a five-day manhunt, have offered insight into his alleged motive. The diary documented Mangione's musings on what Unabomber Ted Kaczynski got wrong during his reign of terror between 1978 and 1995, according to court filings. In one entry from August 15, 2024, Mangione writes that he is 'confident' about his plan - four months before the shooting took place - and that he believes it to be 'right/justified.' 'I finally feel confident about what I will do. The details are coming together. And I don't feel any doubt about whether it's right/justified,' his scrawling writing reads. 'I'm glad-in a way-that I've procrastinated bc [sic] it allowed me to learn more about UHC [UnitedHealthcare].' 'The target is insurance. It checks every box.' The execution of Thompson in the street was captured on chilling surveillance footage In another diary entry dated two months later on October 10 2024, Mangione allegedly marks a countdown to the day of the attack: '1.5 months.' In the rambling diary entry, Mangione goes on to refer to those in the healthcare industry as 'parasites' and 'mafioso' and describes UnitedHealthcare's December conference as a 'true windfall' that 'embodies everything wrong with our health system.' If Mangione is convicted, federal prosecutors plan to seek the death penalty.

Trump reveals his bizarre theory on why Howard Stern could be cancelled
President Donald Trump gave his take on why longtime radio show host Howard Stern may be facing cancellation. The Sun reported Wednesday that Stern's SiriusXM show will end after the shock jock's current contract is up. The Daily Mail previously reported that Stern had been in 'very serious negotiations' with SiriusXM about whether he would be able to extend his $500 million contract, which ends at the end of the year. 'Howard Stern is a name I haven't heard - I used to do his show, we used to have fun - but I haven't heard that name in a long time,' Trump told reporters Wednesday in the Oval Office. 'What happened he got terminated?' the president asked. Stern has not yet been terminated, but that didn't stop Trump. 'You know when he went down? You know when he went down?' Trump then said. 'When he endorsed Hillary Clinton, he lost his audience. People said, get me a break. He went down when he endorsed Hillary Clinton.' Clinton was Trump's 2016 opponent. Stern also had Trump's 2024 rival, Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris, on his show last year. Trump also continued to chime in on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert's cancellation. Colbert and the Late Show will both end in May. 'Colbert has no talent,' Trump said in the Oval on Wednesday. 'I mean, I could take anybody here. I could go outside to the beautiful streets and pick a couple of people that do just as well or better. They get higher ratings than he did. He's got no talent,' the president continued. 'Fallon has no talent. Kimmel has no talent. They're next,' Trump added, name-dropping the other late night hosts. 'They're going to be going, I hear they're going to be going.' This week Trump did decide that he liked one prominent figure in pop culture - actress Sydney Sweeney. On Sunday, the Daily Mail asked Trump for reaction after Sweeney was outed as a registered Republican. Trump loved it. 'She's a registered Republican?' the president said with interest on the tarmac of the Lehigh Valley International Airport outside of Allentown, Pennsylvania. Trump was heading back to Washington after spending the weekend at his Bedminster, New Jersey golf resort. 'You'd be surprised at how many people are Republican. That's one I wouldn't have known, but I'm glad you told me that,' he continued. 'If Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican, I think her ad is fantastic.' Since then, he posted on Truth Social sharing his support for the actress - and the White House's social media account created a meme of Trump, shouting out from the West Wing's rooftop, which he visited Wednesday. 'Have you seen the Sydney Sweeney ad?' the post said.
