Ryan Coogler describes Sinners as Michael B. Jordan's ‘greatest acting challenge yet'
Jordan has starred in most of Coogler's movies, including Fruitvale Station, Black Panther, Creed, and most recently, the supernatural horror Sinners. Speaking to LeBron James for Interview Magazine, the director explained that Sinners may have been Jordan's biggest acting challenge to date, as he stars in a dual role as twin brothers Smoke and Stack. 'It was incredible seeing him do it. I think it's his greatest acting challenge yet. I say that having been there to see him level up each time. Fruitvale (Station) was his first time in a movie.'

Katie Price brings back Jordan in lucrative AI deal
Katie Price is resurrecting her alter-ego Jordan after signing a lucrative deal to trademark an AI recreation of her younger self. The 47-year-old former glamour shot to fame as Jordan back in the 1990s but she gradually retired the name as she moved into TV work later in her career, but Katie is now bringing her back using the latest technology as part of a six-figure deal with American AI company OhChat which is recreating her image and voice. Katie told The Sun newspaper: "The Jordan days were the best days of my life. This AI move is so clever. It's a genius move. "It's also a way for me to feel like her again. Jordan's back and now I'm in competition with Jordan. "I love it and they've really captured my voice and personality - you see me moving and everything. It's scarily weird but fascinating." She added: "I couldn't be more excited to bring back the iconic Jordan, someone who I hold near and dear to my heart, and who my fans have been asking to see again. "From my digital twin styling to its tone of voice, I wanted to be involved every step of the way to create the most authentic experience possible for my fans. Jordan is back, and my fans will absolutely love this." The AI firm gave Katie was 30 phrases to record so experts could recreate her voice with the former model. Katie has been teasing the June 9 launch date on her social media channels and gave fans a brief taster in an Instagram video which was narrated by her AI self, which is heard saying: "Oi, oi it's Jordan here. You've seen me in the papers, but tomorrow I'm coming off the page ... " Another video declared: "No more looking at those cheeky mags. In three days you can have me all to yourself." Reports suggest this new money-spinning deal will help boost Katie's bank balance considerably after a tough few years. She made millions at the height of her fame, but her fiances dwindled in decent years and she was declared bankrupt twice as her debts spiralled out of control. The Sun reports Katie is planning to put together a photoshoot in which she will be seen posing alongside her "digital twin" and is considering a TV special in which she could interview the AI version of Jordan.

Jordan Chiles 'finally' feels good about her skin
Jordan Chiles has taken 22 years to "embrace" her complexion. The 24-year-old gymnast has suffered from acne in the past but she feels a lot more positive about her skin these days. She told Refinery29: 'I have [acne] scars here and there, but now I'm finally at a point where I'm positive with myself and my skin. 'Literally, it took me 22 years to finally be like, look, Jordan, you're a gorgeous girl. You have beautiful skin. Embrace that.' The Olympian tries to keep her routine simple when it comes to looking after her sensitive skin. She said: 'A majority of the time, I only use a good cleanser, an exfoliator, and then a nice, silky moisturiser. 'I keep it very simple, but make sure everything is hydrated and my skin looks good and glowy.' Jordan is the new face of Hero Cosmetics and she's a huge fan of their Mighty Patch hydrocolloid stickers. She said: 'People always ask me, 'What do you do for your skincare?' So I was really happy Hero wanted me to be one of their ambassadors. Whether it's dark spots or a pimple that's coming up and I want it gone, I've always loved Mighty Patch... "I have Mighty Patches in every bag, my car, my room, and probably in five different bathrooms." Asked her favourites, she replied: 'Literally all of them, but since I go to practice a lot, [I love] the invisible ones and the dark spot ones with the prickly points.' And Jordan also loves Hero's Pore Purity Cleansing Clay Mask, which features sea clay and sea kelp bio-ferment to decongest skin. She said: 'It makes my face so soft — I love it. I've been recently using it two to three times a week to get my pores in the right way and all that stuff.' When she is competing, Jordan hasn't been afraid to be "glam" with nail art and fluttery lashes firm features of her look. She said: 'My older sister, who is my hair and makeup artist, definitely gave me a perspective of understanding that glam is something to enjoy, have fun with, and be creative."
