Taylor Lautner acknowledges viral Filipino 'What hafen, Vella?' meme
Taylor Lautner is now aware of the viral Filipino meme that parodies his 'Twilight' character, Jacob Black.
The line 'What hafen, Vella?' became popular through Cristopher Diwata, a Filipino impersonator, and has trended again years after it first aired.
On TikTok, Lautner shared a video with his wife, Taylor Dome. In the comments, one user teased that he had noticed everything except the meme, saying, 'Bro noticing everything except 'What hafen Vela' trend.'
Lautner replied, 'Yup, but it's not your fault, it's mine,' a nod that showed he's now aware of the trend. His comment has reached over 55,000 likes as of this writing.
Although Lautner didn't recreate the meme himself, this is the first time he's publicly acknowledged it online.
Cristopher originally performed the meme line in 2013 on ABS-CBN's 'It's Showtime' under the 'Kalokalike' segment. The video resurfaced in recent months, making the impersonator viral once again.
Cristopher has since collaborated with Filipino celebrities and brands like SB19, Ben&Ben, Barbie Forteza, and TikTok star Abi Marquez, thanks to the line's renewed popularity.

TikTok launches ‘Family Academy' in the UAE to empower families with digital safety and wellbeing tools
Dubai, UAE – TikTok, the world's leading short-form video platform, hosted its Family Academy initiative in the UAE. The event brought together parents, creators, digital safety advocates, and experts to spotlight digital wellbeing, online safety tools, and positive digital habits for families navigating today's complex online environment. UAE's Family Academy event featured a dynamic panel discussion titled 'Empowering Families to Navigate the Online World Together,' offering expert insights from Ilunga Mpyana, Head of Public Policy Programs for the Middle East, Turkey, Africa, Pakistan and South Asia at TikTok, and Dr. Jana Bou Reslan, educator and TikTok Changemaker, moderated by prominent parenting content creator Remie Salloum. The panelists explored prevalent themes in today's digital age including recognizing digital fatigue in teens, modeling mindful screen habits, co-curating positive and personalized digital experiences, and effectively using TikTok's safety tools, such as Screen Time Management, Content Filters, Family Pairing, Manage Topics, and Advanced Keyword Filtering, to support healthier digital boundaries and encourage open family conversations. Ilunga Mpyana, Head of Public Policy Programs for the Middle East, Turkey, Africa, Pakistan and South Asia at TikTok adds, 'Our goal is to provide families with meaningful control and customizable features that not only encourage responsible online behavior but also foster creativity within a supportive community. This year alone, we've introduced over 15 new safety features to enhance our existing Family Pairing tools. TikTok's Community Guidelines form the backbone of our safety ecosystem, continuously evolving to stay ahead of emerging risks. Every time someone engages on TikTok, they're protected by a dynamic and ever-adapting framework designed to keep them safe.' The event showcased TikTok's latest safety feature enhancements designed to support family wellbeing. Many of these enhancements build on Family Pairing, a feature launched five years ago, which continues to evolve with input from families and digital safety experts. Key enhancements include: Time Away: Allows parents to decide when it's best for their teens to take a break (e.g., during dinner, study time, or bedtime). Teens can request extra time, but parents make the final decision. Privacy Controls: Parents can now view who their teen follows and who follows them on TikTok, along with accounts their teen has blocked. They can also manage who sees their teens' content, who can interact with them, and who can send them direct messages. Wind Down Mode: Teens under 18 who use the app after 10 PM will receive a full-screen reminder accompanied by calming music to help them unwind. A second reminder follows, harder-to-dismiss, full-screen prompt will appear if they continue scrolling. Screen Time Management: Parents can now set personalized reminders for teens to limit app usage throughout the day. Dr. Jana Bou Reslan emphasized the need for a proactive and thoughtful approach to how young people engage with technology. 'It's vital that we understand the psychological impact of screen time on our teens. By combining education with innovative safety tools, we can help teens develop healthier, more balanced relationships with digital content. The reality is, teens will be online, so let's focus on equipping them with the knowledge and support they need to navigate that space safely and responsibly.' Popular UAE-based content creator Remie Salloum opened up about her personal journey on the platform, sharing how she's intentional about creating content that's safe and inclusive for all audiences, especially as a parent. 'As a creator and a mother myself, it was important for me to take part in sessions like this to share my experiences and highlight how TikTok's safety features are helping families navigate the digital world more confidently and responsibly. It's a shared responsibility, and we all have a role to play in creating a safer online space for the next generation.' TikTok also highlighted its STEM Feed, which provides engaging educational material in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics across more than 100 countries. Through these initiatives, TikTok continues to reinforce its role in fostering a safe, enriching, and creative digital environment for families, one grounded in mutual understanding and positive exploration. The event served as a platform for meaningful conversations around digital wellbeing, highlighting the importance of collaboration between platforms, parents, and communities to create a safer online environment. TikTok remains committed to empowering families with innovative tools, education, and ongoing support, fostering a digital space that encourages creativity, connection, and well-being for all.

Spotify highlights data challenges in Egypt in latest campaign
For many people in Egypt, music is part of the daily routine – whether you're on the move, waiting your turn, or trying to tune out the noise. But when mobile data runs low, even listening to your favourite songs can feel like a trade-off. Spotify has introduced a data saver feature designed to reduce data usage by up to 90 per cent while listening to music. To inform users about this option, Spotify ran a campaign in Egypt with the message: keep your music, save your data. 'Mobile data is expensive, and for many users, that makes streaming music feel like a luxury. Our goal was to challenge that perception by spotlighting a feature designed to break that barrier,' says Umar Achraf, Spotify's Marketing Manager – Egypt. He adds, 'This campaign aimed to raise awareness around the feature – making music streaming easier, more convenient, and always within reach.' Everyday moments, familiar feelings The campaign centres on everyday moments that many people will find familiar – when your data is running out and suddenly everything around you feels louder, busier, and more distracting. These scenes are brought to life through two locally inspired TVCs. The six-week nationwide campaign features a 360° media rollout across Egypt, including TV commercials with local relevance, billboards lining Cairo's busiest streets, metro station takeovers, Spotify-branded buses, radio, digital, and social media amplification to reach users wherever they are. 'From billboards and buses to in-app integrations, this was a truly 360° campaign designed to meet people wherever they are,' says Achraf. Beyond the TVCs, the campaign extended across social media, radio, out-of-home, and influencer activations. It featured local artists and curated playlists, all designed to show how music streaming fits seamlessly into people's daily routines even when data is limited but the need for good music isn't. 'We teamed up with 13 TikTok creators who brought humour, energy, and relatability. From skits about running out of data to creative challenges, their content made Data Saver feel like a must-have, not just a feature,' says Umar Achraf, Spotify's Marketing Manager – Egypt. In both scenarios, the listener enjoying music gets a data usage warning, and finds themselves overwhelmed by their surroundings. Using they data saver feature, they are able to resume listening to music – bringing a bit of calm back. By meeting people in the moments that matter, the data saver feature supports the demand for accessible music. The campaign results will be measured using a mix of brand and product performance indicators, including growth in Monthly Active Users (MAUs), improvements in top-of-mind awareness and consideration, and video completion rates on key social platforms.

I've already read 30 books this year – but this is the one I'm recommending to everyone
Maybe it's the high calibre of new releases in 2025, or perhaps it's that I keep deleting TikTok, but I've already read more than 30 books this year - and there's one that I've been recommending to everyone. I've been stuck into the "romantasy" genre with Rebecca Yarros' Fourth Wing series, enjoyed comedies including Alison Espach's The Wedding People and Sarah Harman's All The Other Mothers Hate Me, and been equal parts shocked and inspired by the real life stories of World War Two secret agent Pippa Lantour and former-Mormon Tara Westover in their beautiful memoirs, The Last Secret Agent and Educated. But it's Florence Knapp's new novel, The Names, that's a future classic. Curiously, her only other book is a non-fiction guide to English paper piecing, but her first foray into fiction is a masterclass. It's as devastating as it is life-affirming, which is a recipe for the perfect book. The novel is an utterly original take on the "sliding doors" concept. Beginning on the day a mother sets off to name her baby son, it follows three versions of a boy's life as dictated by his given name. An exploration of how small decisions can echo down the decades, the novel is a gripping and moving family drama. I tore through the book in two sittings while on holiday. The story might not be the typical easy-breezy beach book, but the novel is hugely readable, with beautiful prose and compelling characters. Debuting at number two in The Sunday Times bestseller list and with an average rating of 4.18 on Goodreads, it's one of those rare mainstream novels that live up to the hype. Whether you're packing for a summer holiday or looking for your next weekend read, here's why I'm recommending The Names to everyone. 'The Names' by Florence Knapp, published by Phoenix An utterly original concept, Florence Knapp's debut is structured around nominative determinism - how someone's name can set the trajectory of their life. Set after the Great Storm in 1987, it begins with Cora setting out with her nine-year-old daughter to name her newborn baby boy. She has three options. The first is Gordon, as demanded by her controlling and abusive husband, who wants him to be named after himself. The second is Bear, the nickname her daughter Maia has affectionately given him. Cora's own wish is for him to be named Julian, believing this name will set him free of any expectation and influence from his father. The chapters are divided into three sections - Gordon, Bear and Julian - with each following the ramifications of his naming and the boy's life as it unfolds over the decades. The novel is profound and moving in its exploration of how tiny decisions can change the path of your life. It's also an important portrayal of domestic violence and how it can impact a child through the decades, with one version seeing Cora leave her husband and another depicting years of continued abuse. Despite its darker themes, the novel has the same charm as cult hits like William Boyd's Any Human Heart or Min Jin Lee's Pachinko; you follow the characters through their entire lives, including their loves and their losses. Moments of tragedy will make you weep, but the family story of love and resilience is beautiful. It's an old-fashioned page-turner, too - I couldn't tear myself away from the page and read the novel in two sittings.
