Lilian Garcia Provides Major Update On Her Future With WWE
Lilian Garcia had two stints with WWE before her October 2024 return, as she was with the company from 1999-2010 before she returned from 2011-2016. Aside from making some appearances here and there, Garcia did not fully return to WWE until she took Samantha Irvvin's place as the WWE RAW ring announcer in October. Garcia went on to move over to SmackDown in January.
After she worked the March 14th episode of WWE SmackDown, Lilian Garcia took to Instagram to announce that Friday was her last night as the full-time WWE SmackDown ring announcer. However, she said that she would be remaining with the company. Specifically, she stated that she would be announcing for all WWE Saturday Night's Main Events, singing at some special events, and working on other show ideas.
There is currently no word on who will replace Garcia as SmackDown's full-time ring announcer. WrestleZone will monitor the situation and provide more information as it becomes available.

I tested the Fujifilm X half for two weeks — and some might think this one feature is a gimmick but it's my favorite
Do you like film photography? Me too. Do you enjoy populating your Instagram feed with film photos? Me too! There's something charming about analog photography, and in recent years, we've seen a rise in its popularity, a trend that's making a comeback (like oversized blazers and baggy jeans). It's then only natural that camera manufacturers get with the times and make modern film cameras. Fujifilm has done just that... but in a way none of us expected. I'm talking about the Fujifilm X half, a one-of-a-kind camera that's unlike any other in its current lineup, and it goes off the beaten track by combining digital and film photography. The Fujifilm X half is an interesting camera as it's nothing like any other camera in the brand's lineup. It's small and compact and it features a 17.7MP 1-inch sensor that actually takes lovely photos. You get access to Fuji's 13 most popular film simulation recipes and filters, and the camera has a dedicated Film Camera Mode which doesn't let you see photos until you connect it to your phone. Long battery life is the cherry on top of the cake. What do I mean by that, you ask? Well, the X half takes regular photos like any digital camera but it also has a dedicated Film Camera Mode which emulates the feeling of analog. When I spent a couple hours with the camera pre-launch, a couple Tom's Guide readers pointed out that this was gimmick. Now that I've reviewed the camera, I say: so what? It's fun, it's so much fun, and I'm here to tell you why. Toggling Film Camera Mode on the Fujifilm X half is a piece of cake. There are two touchscreen displays on the back: the rounded, vertical touchscreen let's you swap between 13 film simulation recipes and several filters, while the rectangular 4x3 screen gives you access to the camera's settings and gallery. To enable Film Camera Mode, simply swipe down on the rectangular screen and tap on it. You then select your roll (36 shots, for instance) and film simulation or filter, adjusting ISO and et voilà! The screen displays a shot counter and you'll need to use the lever on the right-hand side to advance the roll — as you would on a traditional film camera. Also, like other film cameras, you won't be able to see the photos you've taken until you exhaust the roll, connect the camera to your smartphone and use the X half app to 'develop' the film. And you know what? I had a lot of fun with this. Watching your 'film roll' load on your phone and the little animation that shows every photo 'developing' is throughly enjoyable. Analog photography's fundamentals apply here too. Some photos turn out great, some photos are unusable and some are imperfect, and I love that. The X half's photos turn out lovely with a film-life effects (thanks to the film sims), and you can increase the grain effect too. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. I've loved testing the Fujifilm X half. I think it's a nifty little camera (literally, it's so small) for anyone who wants access to Fuji's fantastic film simulation recipes and filters, and wants to take a no-frills camera to a concert, festival or while traveling. But purists will have you believing it's a toy camera and it isn't worth the money. Look, I get it. It isn't really film photography. The X half isn't the cheapest either, retailing for $849 / £690. Its sensor takes only 17MP photos, and video is limited to FHD/48p. No, this isn't a stacked camera when it comes to pure imaging capabilities, but why does everything need to be? Fujifilm's ethos here is that specs aren't always everything, and I see that. It isn't always about how many megapixels you have at your disposal or whether the camera has in-body image stabilization. Sometimes, and this time especially, it's about a stripped back camera that even a child could use. The X half is pure fun, nothing more, nothing less.

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle mocked for second time in ‘Family Guy' episode: ‘Like all of your wives are so much better?'
'Family Guy' is at it again. The animated show mocked Prince Harry and Meghan Markle a second time in its most recent episode, two years after it first took a jab at the royal couple. Advertisement In the July 17 episode, 'Twain's World,' in which characters Brian and Stewie (both voiced by creator Seth MacFarlane) travel back in time, the talking dog compares the couple to some of history's worst events. After Stewie warns Brian that taking a certain action while traveling through the past could 'change the course of history,' Brian answers, 'You always say that, but doesn't history pretty much suck?' Then, using the comedy rule of threes, he mentions Hitler and the Crusades before Stewie quips, 'Prince Harry marrying Meghan Markle.' In the next moment, the show cuts to one of its signature cutaway gags with Harry sitting on a couch watching the episode. Advertisement 'Again?' he complains of the joke, before turning toward the camera with his hands on his hips to say, 'Oh, like all of your wives are so much better?' 'Family Guy,' which is known for not pulling punches when it comes to its pop culture digs, first took aim at the Sussexes in 2023. 6 'Family Guy' mocked Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in a recent episode. Family Guy/FOX In that episode, main character Peter Griffin, also voiced by MacFarlane, sits in a bar with friends pondering how to get back money he is owed when he jokes that he'll 'go it alone, just like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.' Advertisement The scene then cuts to cartoon versions of Harry and Meghan poolside as a butler approaches with an envelope. The butler says, 'Sir, your millions from Netflix for … no one knows what.' 6 The July 17th episode titled 'Twain's World' showed a cartoon of Prince Harry on the couch, shocked that the show joked about him again. Family Guy/FOX Prince Harry waves him away, saying, 'Put it with the rest of them.' Advertisement Markle then gets a notification on her phone and declares, 'Babe, time to do our daily $250,000 sponsored Instagram post for Del Taco.' The animated prince sighs and says, 'I shouldn't have left the made-up nonsense.' Animated comedy 'South Park' also made fun of the couple in a 2023 episode, 'The Worldwide Privacy Tour.' 6 The couple found themselves the butt of the joke in a 2023 episode of the series, in which their money-hungry ways were mercilessly mocked by the animated show. FOX 6 'Family Guy' first took aim at the Sussexes in 2023. Getty Images Described as royalty from Canada, they are depicted throughout the episode as simultaneously demanding privacy while seeking attention, appearing on talk shows and stages around the world. Prince Harry's memoir even got a satirical new title on the show, changed from 'Spare' to 'WAAGH.' The fictional couple decided to move to South Park to convince people they are 'really serious about wanting to be normal,' soon unloading their private jet and moving into a house across the street from character Kyle Broflovski. Advertisement Kyle is routinely distracted by them and complains to his friends at one point, 'I'm sick of hearing about them! But I can't get away from them. They're everywhere!' 6 The pair were brutally mocked in a 2023 South Park episode over their decision to move across the pond in a desperate bid for privacy. Comedy Central 6 Prince Harry spoke at an event with HALO CEO James Cowan on Wednesday. AP Advertisement The Canadian royalty eventually visit a branding agency, which teases that 'victim' is part of their brand. Though they never addressed it publicly, a source told The Spectator that Markle had been 'upset and overwhelmed' by the episode and was 'annoyed by 'South Park' but refuses to watch it all.' Representatives for Seth MacFarlane and the Sussexes did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
