Watch viral nun beatbox while her fellow sister busts a move on Catholic TV show
Sister Marizele Cassiano showcased her beatboxing skills on a Catholic TV show on May 23, according to Reuters and Storyful.
Right beside her was Sister Marisa Paula de Neves, who was executing b-boy-inspired moves, the outlets reported. Both were donning long powder blue skirts and white button-ups.
The high-energy duo reportedly made an appearance on the show to talk about their work, more specifically, a women's vocational retreat.
Viral moments: Grown men are wishing their friends sweet dreams. The internet can't get enough.
Soon after the beats and the dancing started flowing, one of the hosts joined in on the fun. In an interview with the Associated Press, Cassiano said she was shocked that the "spontaneous" moment went ultra-viral on social media.
"Beatboxing, dancing, and the songs itself, are tools that God uses to reach the hearts of the people we work with. And it works! It's beautiful to see,' she told the outlet.

ESPN shelving Spike Lee's Kaepernick doc in wake of NFL deal is suspect
Spike Lee told @Reuters his multi-part docuseries about former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick for ESPN Films will not be released Less than two weeks after the NFL and Disney announced a partnership that gave the league a 10 percent equity stake in ESPN, the network is suddenly reversing course on a previously planned documentary series on Colin Kaepernick being directed by legendary filmmaker Spike Lee. The timing is suspect, to say the least. As I called out when the deal was made public, ESPN's ability to be trusted as an objective news source on the NFL is severely compromised by the partnership -- even if a potential inability to hold the league accountable through reporting is more optics than truth. This documentary being scrapped is early proof of that. Who amongst us didn't have the thought that maybe, just maybe, the NFL had something to do with it? That may not necessarily be the case. In a statement to Reuters, ESPN cited 'creative differences' for why the network, Lee and Kaepernick collectively decided not to move forward with the project. But the NFL interfering can't be completely ruled out. "It's not coming out. That's all I can say," Lee told Reuters, saying he couldn't elaborate because he signed a non-disclosure agreement. In other words, we may never know what happened to get this project shelved. A REUNION: Rich Eisen will host his first SportsCenter in 20 years What we do know is the story of Kaepernick, who filed a grievance against the NFL alleging collusion after he was unable to find employment following his protests of racism and police brutality during the national anthem. The NFL settled with him. If the NDA doesn't prevent Lee and Kaepernick from shopping that story and all the particulars to another network, and it turns out to be more damaging for the NFL than we already know, it'll be an incredibly bad look for a network that decided not to air it and also happens to be partly owned by the NFL. If the NDA does prevent them from shopping it around... well, that's not a great look either. The Bengals are taking calls on Trey Hendrickson With no apparent movement in their negotiations with Trey Hendrickson, the Cincinnati Bengals are now listening to trade offers for the dynamic edge rusher, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Sunday. FTW's Robert Zeglinski came up with a list of four logical destinations for Hendrickson, in the event Cincy does move him. Naturally, the Detroit Lions came up, as they typically do when a pass rusher hits the market: "Even after losing both their offensive and defensive coordinators in the offseason, Detroit still has one of the NFL's most complete rosters. That is, well, aside from a bona fide complementary pass-rusher alongside franchise player Aidan Hutchinson. The Lions' EDGE depth behind Hutchinson features names like Marcus Davenport and Al-Quadin Muhammad, which isn't awful, but it's also not ideal for a team that views itself as a Super Bowl contender." I still think the Bengals need to do everything in their power to keep Hendrickson. Without getting a couple starters in return, they'd be doing Joe Burrow and that entire offense a huge disservice by removing the best player from an already poor defense.

The 35-year-old is the eldest daughter of Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar and is known for starring in TLC's "Counting On" and "19 Kids and Counting."

She said her due date is in January 2026. The couple's announcement came days after they celebrated their first wedding anniversary on Aug. 16. "Love this journey with My Love! Here's to many more years to come!!" Duggar wrote on Instagram. Wissmann and Duggar met through their families more than a decade ago, they told People in 2024. They briefly dated but ultimately split before rekindling their relationship after Duggar's brother married Wissman's sister in 2022. Duggar family controversies "19 Kids and Counting" was a reality show following the Duggar family that aired on TLC from 2008 to 2015.

Ian McKellen reveals major 'Lord of the Rings' heroes returning in 'Hunt for Gollum'
Ian McKellen is letting the "Lord of the Rings" secrets slip. The actor, 86, gave a major update about the next "Lord of the Rings" film, "The Hunt for Gollum," during an appearance at the For the Love of Fantasy convention in London on Sunday, Aug. 17. According to McKellen, his character, Gandalf, and Frodo Baggins, the character played by Elijah Wood in prior "Lord of the Rings" films, will both be in the new movie. "I'll tell you two secrets about the casting: There's a character in the movie called Frodo, and there's another character called Gandalf," he said, according to a video of the appearance shared on X. "Apart from that, my lips are sealed." McKellen also said the movie will begin shooting in May. USA TODAY has reached out to Warner Bros. Pictures for comment. Andy Serkis, who played Gollum in the previous "Lord of the Rings" movies, is set to direct "The Hunt for Gollum," with the franchise's longtime director Peter Jackson returning as a producer. This will be the first new live-action "Lord of the Rings" film since 2014's "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies," as well as the first not to be directed by Jackson. "The Hunt for Gollum" will also mark the series' live-action return to the big screen amid Prime Video's ongoing streaming show "The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power." An animated prequel movie, "The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim," was released in December. McKellen previously told The Sunday Times in June 2024 that he heard Gandalf is in "The Hunt for Gollum," and joked that he would play the character again "if I'm alive." After starring as the famed wizard in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, McKellen reprised the role in three "Hobbit" prequel movies, released from 2012 to 2014. It was not immediately clear how Frodo would be involved in "The Hunt for Gollum," but Wood has previously expressed interest in returning. "It would be pretty incredible," he told JoBlo in August 2024. "I have to say, any return to New Zealand to work with those individuals within the context of that world would be ... jumping back into a world that's so beloved and means so much to me. So yeah, it would be awesome." 'The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum' release date "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum" is set to hit theaters on Dec. 17, 2027.
