Grammy-winning singer Michael Bublé, 46, revealed that he and his wife, actress Luisana Lopilato, 34, are expecting their fourth child. The announcement was made via the release of a music video for his latest song, “I’ll Never Not Love You,” from his new album Higher, and later confirmed in an interview on On Air with Ryan Seacrest.

In the video, Bublé and Lopilato reenact iconic romantic scenes from classic films including Casablanca, The Notebook, The Princess Bride, and Titanic. The video ends with Bublé being brought back to “reality” by his wife in a grocery store, where Lopilato reveals her pregnant belly as she walks out with Bublé and their three other children, Noah, 8, Elias, 6, and Vida, 3.

In Tuesday’s Seacrest appearance, Bublé admitted that the video dropped before they had informed even their relatives, meaning that his family found out the same time as the general public: “I haven’t answered one – not a cousin. So this will be the first time that I actually say these words, but yes, my wife and I are grateful to be expecting.” And in case you thought he might be done having kids, Bublé continued, “I would love to have as many as she would let me have.”

Bublé began dating Lopilato after his relationship with British actress Emily Blunt ended in 2008. The couple was engaged the next year and married in Argentina in 2011. This is the second time his wife has appeared in one of his music videos, having also co-starred in the video for “Haven’t Met You Yet,” which became the first song to debut at number one on Billboard’s Canadian Adult Contemporary chart.

One of TikTok‘s latest filters is absolutely blowing up online, thanks to its weird ability to perfectly encompass Gen Z humor.

The Shrek in the Sky filter is strange, hilarious, and utterly mystifying. It wastes absolutely no energy attempting to be anything other than its weirdest self, which is precisely why it’s taking off on the app.

If you’re hoping to add a hulking — but surprisingly slim — Shrek into your next TikTok creation dancing to Lady Gaga’s “Love Game,” here’s what you’ll need to do.

How to use the ‘Shrek in the Sky’ filter

Good news, Shrek fans. The Shrek in the Sky filter is no different from any of TikTok’s other filter offerings, which means it is exceedingly easy to incorporate into your own TikToks. The filter is pretty much exactly what it sounds like, but with a skin-tight twist. Using the filter will add a latex-clad, twerking Shrek into any TikTok creation you’re brave enough to share with the internet.

Ogre Boys — yes, that’s the official name for Shrek fans, there was a poll and everything — looking to add some sultry Shrek action into their next upload need to start by simply opening up the app, signing in, and typing “Shrek in the sky” into their search bars.

This should yield a number of hysterical offerings. Feel free to browse to your heart’s content, and to get a good feel for how the Shrek in the Sky filter is best utilized. There are a lot of options.

You can go the easy route and simply allow the filter to bleed some green-skinned sex appeal into your local skyline.

Or you can work some more creativity into your approach. Some creators are even joining the towering Shrek for a quick dance sesh.

Created by popular TikTok filter connoisseur Maxim Kuzlin, according to Dexerto, the filter has already been used in millions of videos. In total, the hashtag for the filter — #shrekinthesky — has more than 25 million views. It’s being incorporated into videos from users all over the globe.

The filter is even inspiring videos of a different sort, all inspired by the internet’s new favorite effect.

Once you’ve determined how you’d like to approach your Shrek in the Sky upload, you’ll want to open a video and click on the filter. This should give you a prompt, inviting you to “try this effect.” Once you’ve clicked on this option, the TikTok app should automatically add the effect to your next video. You can then record your perfect Shrek in the Sky video and upload it to the app.

The effect is immensely popular at the moment, so you’ll want to jump on it while interest is high.

Popular British TikTok star Mahek Bukhari, known on the platform as ‘MAY B VLOGS‘, has been arrested and charged with murder after a high-speed chase that left her two cousins dead.

Bukhari, who was known for her reaction videos and fashion content, appeared at Leicester Magistrates Court via video link alongside her mother Ansreen Bukhari and Natasha Akthar, where the trio were charged with the murders of Mohammed Hashim Ijazuddin and Saqib Hussain.

Leicestershire police have also confirmed that two men, Raees Jamal and Raken Karwan, have also been charged with murder following the collision

Details are still emerging, though police have confirmed the high-speed chase took place on Friday, Feb. 11, and that the two victims’ vehicles “left the carriageway and smashed through a central reservation.” The car was “ripped into two pieces” and killed the men instantly.

At the court appearance, Judge Timothy Spencer QC said: “You face the most serious charge known to criminal law … Do you know that?”. The defendants replied “Yes”. They will enter a plea to the charges at the next hearing on March 18.

There’s another strange twist to this tale. Similarly named TikToker Mehek Bukhari has been inundated with hate mail since the arrest, taking to her own channel to confirm that she hasn’t been arrested for murder and pleading to be left alone. She said:

“Today I woke up to messages telling me to rot in jail. … May I clarify that she also spells Mehek differently, which is why a lot of people realized that it wasn’t me. … Perhaps a rebrand is in order.”

There is still a lot about the incident that remains unknown. We don’t know who was behind the wheel of the vehicles, we don’t know the motives of the three women, and exactly what happened during the chase is still very unclear.

Detective Chief Inspector Tony Yarwood has said:

“The investigation is in the very early stages and work is being carried out to ascertain the circumstances of the collision and what happened in the minutes before. Detectives want to hear from anyone who saw three cars traveling in the area of Troon Way or Abbey Lane at around 1:25 a.m., and on the A46 between the Thurmaston Shopping Center and the Hobby Horse Island.”

More as the case develops.

TikTok comedian and media influencer Huey HaHa, aka Hieu Minh Ngoc Ha, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to a report issued by the Sacramento County Coroner’s Office. The 22-year-old was found dead in his Stockton, California, home in October of last year.

A post made to Ha’s Instagram account shortly following his passing read, in part, “He loved and appreciated every single one of his supporters.” The post also provided a link to a GoFundme page set up by Ha’s longtime friend, Cody Jdn. The post went on to read that all proceeds from the fundraising effort “will go towards funeral costs and his daughter.”

Ha first came to prominence on TikTok after he began using the app in 2019. His short-form video comedy sketches gathered the attention of hundreds of thousands of followers, earning over 4.5 million collective views. Ha had over 200 thousand followers on Instagram and a YouTube following of 450 thousand.

Jdn penned his own farewell message on his Instagram, writing, “Used to saying RIP but this hurt the most💔we always hated comedy cuz all people see is laughs, not what we hadda do or go through. They already took the fun out the comedy but now its not gon be the same without you. We love you brother see you in the future.”

In addition to his two-year-old daughter, Princess, Ha is also survived by his longtime partner, Heather Saizon.

Ibn updated Ha’s GoFundme page in November, stating, “Please continue to share the link to this GoFundMe page with your loved ones on your social media and anywhere you can. Huey touched so many lives through his humor and big heart – now is our time to help his family in their time of need.”

So far, Ha’s memorial fund has raised over $46 thousand. His fans continue to make donations.
