Nepo baby looks identical to her movie icon dad as she walks the red carpet – can you guess who?
A NEPO-BABY with a Hollywood star dad left fans doing a double take as she posed on the Red Carpet. The California-born actress, model and musician, 25, looked hugely similar to her Pulp Fiction actor papa as she stepped out in a stylish leather outfit. 7 7 7 7 Nepo baby Ella Travolta, the sole daughter of Grease frontman John, posed in a chocolate dress complete with hoop earrings at the Tod's Luncheon in Beverly Hills. She swept her brunette hair into relaxed waves, showcasing her natural beauty and blue eyes similar to her famous father. Ella, whose mother is the late Kelly Preston, flashed a smile to the camera as she proved a pro with her poses. She has followed in her parents' footsteps, with roles in movies Old Dogs, Eye For An Eye, Get Lost and Extra. Yet she has also branched out and forged a career in the modelling and music industries. Colors of Love singer Ella posted a link to her new track to her Instagram page, where one fan gushed her vocals were "sweet, pure and like an angel." FAMILY AFFAIR Meanwhile, Scientologist Ella often posts videos and pictures of her father, 71, on social media. The model is extremely close with her dad and younger brother Ben, 14, after a series of heartbreaking loses. When she was just nine years old, her older brother, Jett, passed away after suffering a seizure. Then, in 2020, she endured another heartbreaking loss when her mother, actress Kelly Preston, died of breast cancer. In February, Ella posted a tribute to John as he turned 71. She uploaded a throwback snap showing her as a child sharing time with him and the words: "Happy birthday to the kindest, most loving, special person I know. I love you so much." Ella previously opened up on living with her famous father and told Hello! Magazine: "I recently binge watched all of his movies just again as well. "Which was really cool and really fun to just watch everything in a new period of time." MODEL DAUGHTER John Travolta's daughter, Ella Bleu, has just signed with Storm Models in London, the same agency that famously discovered Kate back in 1988 at the tender age of 14. Ella's new agent, Paula Karaiskos, confirmed the exciting news, expressing her enthusiasm about representing the 24-year-old in the UK. Announcing the signing on social media, Paula wrote, "She has an advertising campaign launching this spring, as well as a new film this summer. Watch this space!" Ella's career has been on the rise, and her father couldn't be prouder. Sharing a photo of her attending New York Fashion Week, John wrote, "So proud of Ella's debut at fashion week in New York City." Speaking about her journey into fashion, Ella explained, "I like it because it is very creative. When I was a child, like many others, I liked to wear makeup, dress up in different clothes... When I grew up, I stopped paying attention to it." In an interview with Spanish magazine Mujerhoy, she added, "But then I became interested in it again in a different way, more out of admiration for creativity." 7 7 7

Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: Fatutoa Henry
When it comes to potential instant-impact players in the Alabama Crimson Tide's 2025 recruiting class, defensive lineman Fatutoa Henry is certainly a name to know. Coming to Alabama via junior college, Henry is an experienced player at the collegiate level, but much of that didn't come in the FBS. However, Henry did originally begin his collegiate career with a team that is currently in the SEC, and now looks to breakout at the Division-I level after returning to the FBS this past offseason in Alabama's recruiting class. Here is everything you need to know about Alabama defensive lineman Fatutoa Henry entering the 2025 season. Fatutoa Henry player information Position: Defensive Line Jersey Number: No. 14 Height: 6'4 Weight: 268 Class: Redshirt Junior Hometown: Lawndale, California High School: Leuzinger Fatutoa Henry career stats While new to Alabama this season, Henry is a familiar face to college football who originally began his career back in 2022 at Oklahoma prior to spending the last two seasons at Cerritos College in California. Redshirting at Oklahoma, Henry appeared in 16 games across the 2023-24 seasons where he posted a combined 63 tackles, 13.5 TFL, 5.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery. Fatutoa Henry 2024 stats Henry's 2024 season was spent at Cerritos College in California, his second with the program. Across six games last season, Henry had 20 tackles, six TFL, two sacks, and a fumble recovery. Fatutoa Henry recruiting ranking Coming out of high school, Henry was considered as the nation's No. 401 overall player in the 2022 recruiting class, per the 247Sports Composite rankings, prior to attending Oklahoma for a season. Rated a four-star prospect, Henry was also considered the No. 33 overall edge rusher in the class, as well as the No. 29 player in the state of California where he attended Leuzinger High School. Prior to Alabama, Henry was ranked as the nation's No. 2 overall JUCO prospect in the 2025 class, per 247Sports, as well as the No. 2 JUCO defensive lineman. A four-star prospect who committed to Alabama in Oct. 2024 where he flipped his commitment from Mississippi State, Henry was also considered the No. 1 JUCO prospect in California where he attended Cerritos College. Fatutoa Henry 2025 season outlook Similar to teammate Steve Bolo Mboumoua, could Henry make an immediate impact as a junior college addition for Alabama this season? When looking at Henry's potential impact in 2025, the redshirt junior could potentially line up at multiple spots along Alabama's defensive front, most notably at bandit. However, Henry is not currently expected to start with returning starter LT Overton back in 2025, meaning that the JUCO addition is likely a depth option to begin the season. However, Henry should still see some action in 2025, and could potentially emerge into a larger role as the season goes along. Fatutoa Henry 2025 season prediction 2025 Prediction: 10 tackles, 1.5 TFL, 1 sack Contact/Follow us @RollTideWire on X, and like our page on Facebook to follow ongoing coverage of Alabama news, notes and opinion.

Apple just showed what 20 iPhones can do on a movie set
Smartphones and cinema? Now we are talking. If you are a movie buff and a mobile tech nerd at the same time, Apple just handed you a treat. The company dropped a short behind-the-scenes video showing how the iPhone 15 Pro Max was used to shoot Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later. It was already known that the film used iPhones – up to 20 of them at once – but actually seeing that in action? Very cool. Boyle pushed the iPhone's cinematic potential in some pretty wild ways, taking full advantage of how compact yet powerful it is. The team actually built a custom 20-camera rig to shoot certain scenes – something that would've been a lot harder, bulkier and way more expensive to pull off with traditional film gear. Video credit – Apple Danny Boyle – yeah, the same guy whose movies like Trainspotting and The Beach basically rewired my brain growing up and the same director behind that Steve Jobs movie in 2015 – had plenty of praise for the iPhone. He specifically called out its ability to shoot 4K at up to 60fps, which he said made it ideal for a theatrical release. But why shoot with an iPhone in the first place? For Boyle, it came down to flexibility. The iPhone's size and weight allowed the crew to act quickly in remote areas with a minimal footprint. That was key for this film, where they wanted the scenery to look untouched, like no one had been there for 28 about that crazy 20-camera setup: Boyle doesn't go into specifics in the video, but I can guess it opens the door to all sorts of creative tricks. Capturing a moment from 20 different angles at once opens the door to Matrix-style 'bullet time' effects or even volumetric video – where you can move around a frozen scene in 3D space. It could also be useful for VR, 360-degree footage, or capturing super detailed depth info for post-production. Now, this is all with the iPhone 15 Pro Max . Imagine what would be possible once the iPhone 17 Pro Max lands. Rumor has it we are getting triple 48 MP cameras, including a new 48 MP telephoto with up to 8x optical zoom and finally – finally – native 8K video. So yeah, I'd bet we'll see even more full-on movies shot on iPhones in the near future.

Google Photos is getting a new video editor and some much-needed extras (APK teardown)
Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority TL;DR An Android Authority teardown has revealed an overhauled video editor in Google Photos. The new editor features some visual changes in line with the Material 3 Expressive style. The editor also has video flipping functionality and the ability to add music to videos. We previously discovered a redesigned image editor in Google Photos before its recent release. Google isn't stopping here, as it's also working on an overhauled video editor. Authority Insights story on Android Authority. Discover You're reading anstory on Android Authority. Discover Authority Insights for more exclusive reports, app teardowns, leaks, and in-depth tech coverage you won't find anywhere else. An APK teardown helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release. We dug into the Google Photos app for Android (version 7.39) and enabled a redesigned video editor. Check out the screenshots below for a good look. The new editor, which is referred to as 'varenyky' in code strings, features some changes in line with Material 3 Expressive. For starters, there's a larger video timeline with a vertical line replacing the circular scrubbing icon. We also see more prominent sliders encased in a pill-shaped box, as well as rounded box icons instead of circular or square icons. There are also tick and X icons instead of the current Save copy and Cancel buttons. Interestingly, the main edit page now shows a prominent Export frame button. By contrast, Google Photos currently features this option as one of several options alongside Enhance, Stabilize, Auto-Trim, and other tools. This will make it a little easier to grab a frame, especially if you treat 4K or 8K video capture like a burst mode. It's worth noting that we can't see some editing features like Markup, effects, Presets, and Audio Eraser. However, we can see the Effects and Audio Eraser options in varenyky code strings, suggesting these features will come to the editor. What else is coming to the video editor? We also discovered two more features in the redesigned editor, starting with the ability to flip a video via a Mirror button (found in the Crop menu). This is a welcome feature if you captured a flipped video via your selfie camera or webcam, or if you just want a fancy editing option. Original Mirrored Google Photos could also let you add music to your videos. You can already add music to videos via the Highlight videos feature, but the ability to add music via the video editor seems like a new option. Highlight videos are meant for auto-generated photo/video collages based on identified people, locations, and more. So this is great if you merely want to add a music track to a single video or specific clips. Check out the screens below. This feature should be accessible by tapping the Music button in the Edit menu. From here, you can choose Google's own tracks (divided into All, Bright, Chill, Dramatic, Inspiring) or your on-device music files. Once you've picked your desired track, you can choose the section of music you'd like to use. You'll subsequently see the music track name below the video timeline. Tapping this track name will surface more options, like changing the section, swapping out the music, or adjusting the volume. In a welcome touch, you can independently adjust the video audio and soundtrack volume. In any event, the redesigned video editor seems like a substantial upgrade. We're also glad to see the mirror and music options here. So we hope to see this overhaul sooner rather than later. However, it's worth noting that Google saw a mixed reaction to the redesigned photo editor. Don't be surprised if this new video editor gets a similarly polarizing reception. Got a tip? Talk to us!

Apple is set to unveil its first foldable iPhone next year - with an eye-watering price tag
It's one of the biggest tech firms in the world. But Apple is one of the few companies yet to unveil a foldable device. However, that may be soon about to change, because Apple is allegedly readying its first foldable iPhone – following in the footsteps of Samsung, Huawei and Motorola. According to JP Morgan analyst, Samik Chatterjee, Apple is set to launch its first foldable iPhone in September 2026. If Apple continues with its traditional iPhone naming system, this suggests the iPhone 18 could be a flip phone. 'With the upgrades to the iPhone 17 series to be released this fall expected to be fairly limited, investor focus has already turned to the 2026 fall launches with Apple expected to launch its first foldable iPhone as part of the iPhone 18 lineup in September 2026, featuring a book-style fold similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold series,' Mr Chatterjee said in a note to clients, seen by CNBC. Unsurprisingly, the foldable iPhone is likely to come with a hefty price tag. Mr Chatterjee predicts that the device will retail at a whopping $1,999 - $1,000 more than the current iPhone 16 Pro. The device, which is rumoured to be called the 'iPhone Fold', is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer screen. For comparison, Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7, which was released last week, features an 8-inch inner display, and a 6.5-inch outer screen. One of the biggest bugbears with Samsung's foldable is the 'crease' - a visible line running down the centre of the phone. However, Apple's version is said to be crease-free, although how the tech giant is able to achieve this remains unclear. In terms of price, the iPhone Fold is expected to be Apple's most expensive smartphone yet. If the device really does start at $1,999 as Mr Chatterjee predicts, that would be $400 more than Apple's current most expensive smartphone - the 1TB version of the iPhone 16 Pro Max ($1,599). However, it's comparable to the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold, which is priced at $1,999 - $2,419, depending on storage. Mr Chatterjee predicts the new device will generate a whopping $65 billion in revenue for Apple, leading to a 'high-single-digit' earnings boost over the medium term. As for shipments, the experts expects volumes to start in the 'low teens' of millions when the phone is released in 2027, This will then climb to the 'mid-40s of millions' by 2029, he added. Back in 2022, YouTubers in China created an impressive prototype of what the first foldable iPhone could look like. The prototype, called iPhone V, folds down a central hinge in the screen and features silver iPhone lettering on the hinge, plus the iconic Apple icon on the back. It was built by the engineers over more than 200 days using an iPhone X and the folding mechanism from Motorola's Razr. MailOnline has contacted Apple for comment. THE TRILLION DOLLAR RISE OF APPLE 1976: Founders Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak and Ronald Wayne created the company on April 1 1976 as they set about selling computer kits to hobbyists, each of which was built by Wozniak.

The court order was dropped on March 28 after the FBI said a third party was able to unlock the device. 2017: Apple introduces the iPhone X, which removes the home button to make way for a futuristic edge-to-edge screen design and a new FaceID system that uses advanced sensors and lasers to unlock phones with just the owner's face. Apple CEO Steve Jobs speaks at an Apple event at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, Calif. 2018: In a first for the company, Apple introduces new features in its latest operating system, iOS 12, that encourage users to manage and spend less time on their devices. The move was spawned by a strongly worded letter from shareholders that urged the firm to address the growing problem of smartphone addiction among kids and teenagers. 2019: In January, Apple reports its first decline in revenues and profits in a decade.
