'Cocaine Bear’ showed up, too. When Elizabeth Banks presented the visual-effects Oscar, she was joined onstage by someone in a bear costume.

You need to wait until the afterparty like everybody else.”Chris Pizzello/AP

LEXINGTON, Ky.—Coming Friday to movie theaters nationwide, “Cocaine Bear” draws inspiration from the true story of a bear that, well, ate cocaine. In the Hollywood version, the beast then goes on an R-rated, coke-fueled murder rampage. In real life, it’s harder to separate truth from fiction.

For anyone in the market, there are numerous ways to get a new face—not just Botox, facelifts and nose jobs, but injectable fillers, thread lifts and adhesive tape, among others. Now, yet another face-altering procedure is stirring attention online: buccal fat removal. Pronounced like “buckle,” buccal fat removal is a cosmetic surgery that extracts fat from the cheeks, giving patients the appearance of dramatic cheekbones and a thinner face. Photos of celebrities with exaggerated hollow cheeks have caused speculation to swirl on social media about who has undergone the surgery. Meanwhile, people on TikTok are posting warnings, jokes and updates about their own buccal surgeries.

I’m the problem, it’s me,” echoing another of Swift’s song lyrics. The “2000+ people ahead of you” message that crushed many fans’ tour-going dreams appears on T-shirts, crew-neck sweatshirts and stickers.

In the new season of ‘The Crown,’ Dominic West portrays an open and personable Prince Charles. For the recently ascended King Charles III, season 5 of “The Crown” may come as a welcome relief. Season 4 of Netflix ’s hit dramatization of the royal family’s personal lives painted a brutal portrait of 1980s-era Charles, reviving conversations about his infidelity with Camilla Parker Bowles and leading to a fresh wave of backlash. So notable was the response, Britain’s culture secretary called on Netflix to include disclaimers on episodes stating that the show was fiction.
