Demi Moore gives the wildest performance of her career in French filmmaker Coralie Fargeat's provocative new movie "The Substance." "The Substance" centers on Elisabeth Sparkle (Moore), a former A-lister whose career is on the decline. They can't survive separately because with Elisabeth dead, there's no more stabilizer fluid, and without stabilizer fluid, Sue can't continue to exist. So Sue's body (while she's en route to the big New Year's Eve performance) starts deteriorating: her teeth begin coming out, and a nail pops off. The monster rips down a photo of Elisabeth's younger face and tapes it on, then dolls itself up with carefully placed earrings and some makeup.

One owner even said they'd been warned when the truck was delivered that it could rust in the rain. "The advisor specifically mentioned the Cybertrucks develop orange rust marks in the rain and that required the vehicle to be buffed out," a member of the Cybertruck Owners Club forum wrote. Stainless is reactive and free iron that sits on it will rust," the Cybertruck engineer said. Demaree said the latter method appeared to do the trick but advised Cybertruck owners to be careful using the polish on the truck. Tesla delivered its first dozen on November 30, and several celebrities have been spotted with their own Cybertrucks in the months since.

If you don't have life insurance at the time of your diagnosis, it will be hard to get traditional life insurance. If you are in remission, most life insurance providers will have a waiting period — usually five years — before you will be eligible for traditional life insurance. If you are currently receiving cancer treatment or are in remission, you will be ineligible for traditional life insurance, like term life or permanent life. Most life insurance carriers will require a waiting period — usually five years — before you will be eligible for traditional life insurance. That is why geneticists suggest getting private life insurance coverage before genetic testing, because the results may disqualify you for life insurance in the future.
