My sexy makeover is so unbelievable haters think I'm AI — but here's how I really went from drab to fab
A content creator named Dina has been accused of employing AI generation after undergoing a glow-up so drastic that she looked like a completely different person, as seen in a TikTok video with nearly one million views.
The video starts out with a photo of Dina in 2019 sitting on a stoop in glasses, jeans, a baggy turtleneck and a beanie.

It then cuts to a pic of the brunette from this year on similar steps, but this time she looks unrecognizable.

In lieu of her girl-next-door-esque ensemble, she is seen rocking a skimpy plunging black top, a cutoff skirt, and knee-high leather boots while flashing the camera a sultry look like something out of a fashion mag.
If that wasn't extreme enough, the bombshell's hair and eyebrows look straighter, her complexion is completely unblemished and her eyes have seemingly changed color from brown to olive.
'POV: You disappear for a few years and then post a story,' she captioned the clip.

Needless to say, viewers found Dina's transformation absolutely jaw-dropping with one awestruck commenter exclaiming: 'Damn, now that's a glow up.'
'I think I just passed out,' gushed another.
However, a few accused the smokeshow of employing some virtual voodoo to achieve the whiplash-inducing new look.

'It's AI guys,' scoffed one naysayer.
However, Dina, who boasts over 170,000 followers on TikTok, assured commenters that she didn't employ the aid of a digital fairy godmother.
'Lemme tell you guys I am not AI generated,' she declared in a followup clip where she looked similarly stunning.
She attributed her incredible metamorphosis to the fact that she's 'very good at doing makeup' and is wearing contact lenses.
Dina also dismissed allegations that the photo itself was AI-generated, demonstrating how she plucked it straight from the camera roll on her Smartphone.
'I am real so you guys can chill out,' she declared.

Nonetheless, perhaps skeptics could be forgiven in this age where AI models are becoming increasingly indistinguishable from the real deal.
In fact, hornball viewers have been hornswoggled by Mia Zelu, a synthetic influencer who has become an Instagram sensation by sharing hyperrealistic snaps of herself at various tennis events and elsewhere.

The Langbaan Team Will Open a Thai Restaurant (Potentially) in Pok Pok's SE Division Building
is the regional editor for Eater's Northern California/Pacific Northwest sites, writing about restaurant and bar trends, upcoming openings, and pop-ups for the San Francisco Bay Area, Portland, Seattle, and Denver. Fans of blind items may have been tickled to see an article from the Oregonian tease a possible new restaurant from the James Beard Award-winning Langbaan team, but it appears the news is true: Chef Akkapong 'Earl' Ninsom confirms that he, along with Eric Nelson and chef Sam Smith of Yaowarat, will open a new restaurant dubbed OK Chicken & Khaosoi. 'Our vision is to bring a Northern Thai dining experience back to Portland — something the city has been missing since early in the pandemic,' Ninsom writes in an email to Eater. While that news in itself is worthy of excitement, exactly where the restaurant may set up shop is, in itself, a surprise. While the team is still in the lease negotiation process, if all goes well, they will take over the former Pok Pok space at 3226 SE Division Street. A tentative opening date of winter 2025 is set. (Again, if things work out with the space.) 'We feel the location — with its existing Northern Thai feel and history — would be a perfect fit for the concept we're exploring,' Ninsom writes in an email to Eater. The exterior of Pok Pok, as seen on June 17, 2020. Bloomberg via Getty Images Ninsom shares that the team is exploring a restaurant 'that balances fun and approachability with a practical, sustainable model.' What that means is counter-service or bar-style ordering, with a simple order sheet for diners to fill out, before settling into a table. Ninsom points to this model as something the team has seen in their previous research trips. 'As for the concept itself — Northern Thai flavors, late-night energy, possibly with karaoke — we see it as a way to fill a gap while also creating a place that feels vibrant but operationally efficient,' Ninsom writes. 'It's still early, so we don't have firm timelines (hoping for this winter if all goes as planned).' Meanwhile, food reporters have been trying to parse out more details via the new restaurant's Instagram page. Ninsom, Nelson, and Smith highlighted some of the dishes they sampled on a recent trip, which the Oregonian reports was 'a research trip specifically to study Northern Thai cuisine, which had [been] Pok Pok's specialty.' Parsing through the photos, the Oregonian specifically pointed to a Pok Pok-like whole roasted chicken; the photos also tease laab muang, or Northern Thai-style laab, as well as som tum, and other dishes. The winner khao soi bowl of the trip, highlighted on the Instagram page, points to a Muslim version from Khao Soi Lung Surin in the Chiang Mai village of Doi Pui, per the caption. The team is already testing the namesake khao soi at Yaowarat's staff meal (of which all staff meals are diligently catalogued on @yaowaratpdx_staff_meal). Looks like you'll have to join the Yaowarat team to get an early taste, suggests Nelson, or wait patiently for the grand opening.

CNN Guest's Failed Backflip Attempt Goes Viral
A recent guest on CNN News Central tried to do a backflip during a live broadcast, and his awkward attempt is going mega-viral. In the clip, Cruz went up... And around... And smacked the floor. "That never happens," Cruz said as he knelt on the floor in disbelief. "That, what you just saw there, is a brand new twist on America's favorite pastime," host John Berman said as the camera cut away. The host is literally all of us. One person said, "this is why the male backflipping epidemic needs to come to an end." "can't explain but Benson Boone stopped him somehow," this person joked. And another said, "1,000 times funnier and more interesting than a successful backflip. He should be very proud." Cruz took to Instagram to laugh at himself afterwards, posting another angle with the caption: "The sound makes it 10x funnier. Yes, you have my permission to laugh. Yes, I'm all good. Some stitches, slightly damaged pride, and some unparalleled dad lore." Don't try this at home, folks!
