Internet Thinks Jenny Ortega Had Buccal Fat Surgery After Photos From Wednesday 2 Premiere Go Viral
Her changed facial features led to online chatter that the 22-year-old actor may have undergone buccal fat removal surgery - a cosmetic procedure becoming popular in Hollywood. It even sparked a debate around the unrealistic standards of beauty in Hollywood.
The fat between your cheekbones and jaw bones is buccal fat, and the surgery done to remove this fat is buccal fat removal. According to the Cleveland Clinic, buccal fat removal can help change the shape of your face by highlighting your face's bone structure. This procedure is also called a cheek reduction.
While some fans praised her look, claiming it made her appear older and less distinct, others criticised her look. The backlash grew with viral posts condemning both the rumoured procedure and those who defended it.
One X user posted, "One of the most important things I can ever use this platform to share. Ladies, do not get buccal fat removal surgery. It is never a good idea. Never."

Some even went as far as comparing her to Rocky Dennis - an American teenager who had an extremely rare sclerotic bone disorder called craniodiaphyseal dysplasia. "Every girl that gets buccal fat removal just ends up looking like Rocky Dennis."

While Jenna Ortega has not commented on the speculations, this highlights a growing trend in Hollywood. Chrissy Teigen, Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner, Demi Moore, and many other celebrities are rumoured to have undergone buccal fat surgery. While some say that this promotes unattainable beauty standards, others argue that celebrities should be open about their experiences because of the kind of impact they have on the audience.

‘Weapons' review: Ample chills in a demonic tale of missing children
Seventeen out of 18 children studying in the same class in an American town vanish one night at the same time. What happened to them? Why is Alex (Cary Christopher) not among them? Alex's house, occupied by his elderly aunt Gladys (Amy Madigan) apart from his parents (Whitmer Thomas and Callie Schuttera), is a good place for the police to start. They do drop in, but their investigation is cursory. They are similarly lax in talking to the other parents. There are no clue beyond spooky doorbell camera footage of the children flying out their homes in identical fashion. The image – the first of many gorgeous visuals by cinematographer Larkin Seiple – lingers. Suspicion mounts about Justine (Julia Garner), the young teacher of the missing students. Although Justine has the support of the school principal (Benedict Wong), a missing boy's father Archer (Josh Brolin) leads a campaign to expose Justine as a witch. The evidence is scanty. Everybody is looking in the wrong place. This wilful oversight suits Zach Cregger just fine. The Barbarian writer-director's new movie Weapons is excellent with creeping scares, nightmarish sequences and grisly gore. Cregger dips into a compendium of horror movie tropes while also toying with perspective. By replaying the same event from different viewpoints, Cregger stretches out the suspense of what has actually happened to the children, and why. A motiveless Pied Piper appears to be at work in luring the children – the film's most compelling idea. There is no shortage of chills at the right places, as well as ample evidence of craft, especially in the terrifying night scenes. But Weapons is also too cold and clinical to make its revelation stick. The tragedy of young children wrenched from their families and weaponised for a demonic purpose scarcely matters, rendering the ending flat. Austin Abrams provides comic relief as a drug addict; the climax supplies possibly unintentional laughs. The lack of involvement or even bare-minimum interest by nearly all the affected parents beggars belief. Among the actors, Cary Christopher is wonderful as the beleaguered Alex and Amy Madigan is terrific as his eccentric aunt. Play

'More than any American Culture': Martina Navratilova once shared how Chris Evert's Catholic upbringing shaped her tennis image
Martina Navratilova said something that made people look again at . On March 28, 2018, on the 'Conversations with Tyler' podcast, Navratilova said Chris Evert came from a strict Catholic home and often wanted to please her parents. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now She said this during an interview that many people replayed online. Martina said this family life helped shape how Evert acted in public and on court. The comment added a new angle to the long rivalry between the two stars and surprised many fans who remembered Evert as the perfect all-American player. Martina Navratilova on Chris Evert's upbringing and public image In her 1985 book 'Being Myself,' Martina wrote about how fans and the press treated female players. She wrote that American crowds liked quiet, neat players and often did not like women who spoke up or showed anger. Martina Navratilova said a player like Chris Evert was accepted because she did not 'make waves,' while outspoken women were often criticized. This links old gender ideas to how the media and fans saw women in tennis in the 1970s and 1980s. Chris Evert was born in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, in 1954 to Jimmy and Colette Evert. She grew up in a devout Catholic home, went to St. Thomas Aquinas High School, and learned tennis from her father, who coached her. "I think Chris was just conforming, not because of any preconceived ideas, but she came from a good Catholic family, and she wanted to please her parents. So it was more that than, I think, any American culture. It was actually more cultural within the family how you grew up," she said. Martina Navratilova suggested that Evert's family rules made her cautious in public because she wanted to make her parents proud. These facts help explain why Evert often appeared calm at matches and in interviews.

Their matches were watched by fans around the world and made tennis grow.
