Facebook Displaying Vertical Videos in Mobile News Feed

Facebook has begun displaying vertical videos in News Feed in its flagship mobile application.


Tim Peterson of Marketing Land reported on the update, and a spokesperson for the social network told him via email that its tests found that users watched vertical videos for longer time periods and with audio when they were presented vertically in News Feed, adding:


We know that people enjoy more immersive experiences on Facebook, so we're starting to display a larger portion of each vertical video in News Feed on mobile.


Prior to the change, vertical videos were cropped into squares in News Feed, and users had to click on the videos to watch them in their intended format.


Peterson reported that vertical videos will appear in a 2:3 aspect ratio in News Feed and not take up the entire screen unless users clock on those videos, and then click on the arrows in the upper-right-hand corner to expand them.


Readers: What are your thoughts on this change?

Country Queen Dolly Parton To Play A Prostitute In New Made-For-TV Biopic



This is the best early Christmas present we've ever received. 



On Tuesday night, during her appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” Dolly Parton confirmed that she will play a prostitute in her second made-for-TV biopic, “Christmas of Many Colors: Circle of Love.” (The flick will be a sequel to Parton's 2015 film, “Coat of Many Colors.”)



“When I was little, I patterned my look after the town trollop,” the country queen told Fallon (who jokingly replied, “Me too!”). “I thought she was the most beautiful thing, because she had all this makeup, hair, tight clothes and everything I wanted ... So I thought, why not play the painted lady?”









Parton has told this story before, and even one-upped the tale during an appearance on “The Late Show with David Letterman.” She revealed she was once mistaken for a prostitute when she and her friend came to New York City in the late '60s. They were staying in a cheap hotel near Times Square. 



“That's where all the prostitutes run, and they ran in pairs for safety,” Parton told Letterman. “And we looked like we might be them. I still had the big hair, looking trashy like I do.”



“We were just country girls,” she said, “and our daddies had given us both a gun when we left home ... I said, 'Look, if you touch me one more time, I'm gonna shoot you.'” 



Never change, Dolly.

Justin Timberlake And Jessica Biel Took Over A Photobooth With Hillary Clinton

Somewhere, Donald Trump and his tiny hands are very, very jealous. 



Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel hosted a fundraising luncheon for Hillary Clinton on Tuesday, and it looks like everyone had a ball. The event, which was held at the TimberBiel's Los Angeles home, also included a photobooth. 



Let's just say HRC and her loyal subjects made the most of it: 





Look who came over for lunch... #imwithher

A photo posted by Jessica Biel (@jessicabiel) on







According to Variety, Leonardo DiCaprio was originally supposed to throw the swanky affair, but had to back out because of a project. Biel and Timberlake stepped up to hold the party, where guests attended for a measly $33,400 per person. 



Clinton reportedly also blessed Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Aniston, Shonda Rhimes and Tobey Maguire with her presence at the luncheon. We'll be waiting on their photobooth pics to see if they top the ones above.

Mobile Game Roundup: Shadowverse, Pixel Crazy and More

Are you looking for a new mobile game to play this weekend? If so, there are lots of new games available for you to try, including Mr. Robot: 1.51exfiltratiOn from Telltale Games. The game is based on the Mr. Robot television series, and it allows users to interact with characters through a fictional messaging app.


Next, Disney launched Zootopia Crime Files: Hidden Object. The hidden object game allows players to help Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde solve cases by completing hidden object scenes, talking to suspects and more.


Elsewhere, Square Enix Montreal released Deus Ex GO this week. The turn-based puzzle game allows players to complete levels by moving protagonist Adam Jensen between nodes in the environment.


Finally, Fifth Journey released Kubo: A Samurai Quest. The match-three puzzle game is based on the film Kubo and the Two Strings, and it includes both regular match-three levels and match-three battle levels.


If you're looking for something different to play, here's a look at some of the additional mobile games released this week.


Shadowverse (Free on iOS, Android) – This collectible card game from Cygames includes seven “interweaving” campaign storylines, and it allows users to collect more than 400 cards for their decks. During each turn-based battle, players can spend a limited number of points on each turn to deploy cards to the battlefield. Players have access to follower cards that can attack enemies, as well as cards containing spells and other abilities. Users also have a limited number of evolution points to spend in each battle. These evolution points can be used to evolve follower cards to increase their health and attack stats for that battle. In addition to competing in single-player battles, users can challenge other players in real-time multiplayer battles.


George of the Jungle: Owie Owie (Free on iOS, Android) – This climbing game from Moonray Studios asks players to help George of the Jungle climb high into the trees while avoiding bugs and other obstacles. In each game, players can drag their fingers on the screen to aim, and let go to shoot George from one platform to the next. Users can collect friendly light bugs as they play, which can be spent on power-ups and new gameplay environments, like the waterfall.


Freaktown Defenders ($1.99 on iPad, Android tablets) – From Moonray Studios, this tower defense game is based on the Canadian animated series Freaktown. In the game, players are challenged to defend  buildings around Freaktown from Princess Boo Boo and her army of Sweets. Princess Boo Boo wants to make Freaktown's buildings “sweet,” so users must rapidly tap, or tap and hold, on their defending characters to attack the Sweets (tapping and holding charges a defender's attack). Levels end when players defeat all of the Sweets, or when the Sweets have taken over a set amount of the current building.


Endless Rush


Endless Rush (Free on iOS) – This endless “runner” from Neoglyphic Entertainment asks players to help a creature named Ziggy collect and deliver packages as he flies through the forest. In each game, users can drag their fingers around the screen to help Ziggy collect and deliver packages, as well as avoid obstacles. Gamers can also collect nectar while playing, which can be spent on upgrades for Ziggy. Endless Rush connects to Neoglyphic Entertainment's reading app Sunborn Rising: Beneath the Fall. By playing Endless Rush, users can earn digital currency that unlocks “deeper story elements” in the reading app. In addition, users can engage with the reading app to unlock content in Endless Rush.


Pandora's Books (Free on iOS) – This word game from Smithsoft challenges players to save towns from monsters by unscrambling words taken from quotes from classic books. In each stage, players can unscramble one word at a time by swiping to rearrange scrambled letter tiles. As players unscramble words, they'll attack enemies at the top of the screen. Players can use hints if they need help unscrambling words. Pandora's Books includes 80 levels to complete, with 20 levels being available for each of the game's four books: The War of the Worlds, Wuthering Heights, The Hound of the Baskervilles and At the Mountains of Madness.


BarSim (Free on iOS, Android) – This bartending simulation game from Killer Mobile allows players to practice creating more than 100 cocktail recipes across multiple gameplay modes (practice, career and head-to-head). In each mode, players will be able to create drinks step-by-step by selecting and pouring the right liquids in the right quantities, and using any necessary tools (like the blender or strainer) to finish each drink. Depending on the drink, users may also need to move their phones to simulate actions such as shaking and stirring. Some drinks also require garnishes like straws or fruit wedges. Players will earn tips in the game's career mode, which they can spend on tool upgrades.


Gallery Hero (Free on iOS, Android) – This level-based puzzle game from Rasterzone Entertainment asks players to clear every tile from the board by creating matches with tiles based on the colored sides of each tile. Tiles may be split into multiple colored sections, so one side of a tile may be a different color than another side. To clear tiles, players can drag new tiles onto the board, and they must make matches with tiles whose touching sides are the same colors. Users must complete stages before running out of moves. Gallery Hero contains 60 puzzles to complete.


I, the I-piece ($1.99 on iOS, Android) – This level-based puzzle game from Augustus Games challenges players to help the I-piece from Tetris escape maze-like environments. In each level, players can swipe to move the I-piece around the environment, with the goal being to help the piece reach a special exit tile on the board. Levels become more complicated as players progress, with the introduction of things like disappearing tiles and buttons that must be pressed to cause changes in the environment.


Caroline's Camera (Free on iOS) – This rhythm game from SoulGame Entertainment challenges players to take pictures by tapping at the right times to take photos of characters in the right positions. Each character may have multiple possible positions, with each position being associated with a different character animation. Users need to determine the rhythm for each animation in order to tap at the right time when the animation stops.


Pixel Crazy (Free on iOS, Android) – This side-scrolling platformer from Thumbspire and Optimum Games challenges players to help a cube survive by tapping to make the cube jump over obstacles and gaps in the path as it moves across the screen. The path is also filled with moving yellow and green blocks that players must avoid. Yellow blocks will automatically move into the air when the cube is nearby, while green blocks will fall from the sky into the path as the cube approaches. Users will cross progress checkpoints as they play, so they won't have to start from the beginning when they fail. In addition, players can watch video ads to skip ahead to the next checkpoint if they get stuck.


In addition to these new releases, GALA and PlayWorks released Arcane Online for free on iOS. The game was previously released for free on Android.

3 new Harry Potter books announced

A collection of short stories from author J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter archives are being released as e-books.


Rob Kardashian Dropped An Absurd Amount Of Cash On Blac Chyna's Pregnancy Cravings

For $13,000, you could get a brand new car, take a luxury vacation, or, if you're reality star Blac Chyna, order all the Philly cheesesteaks your pregnant belly desires.



Rob Kardashian and his fiancĂ©e Blac Chyna conducted their first Facebook Live on Wednesday to promote their E! reality show, “Rob & Chyna.” The couple are currently expecting their first child together and will document their preparations on the show, which premieres in September.









“Send us some, like, questions, and we'll try to answer them to the best of our abilities,” said Chyna, who revealed they will probably not be keeping up with the family tradition of giving their child a “K” name. 



The expectant mom flashed her lavish engagement ring for viewers before struggling to answer a fan question about her pregnancy cravings.



“What do you love to eat?” Kardashian asked. “What do I always order you?”



“Philly cheesesteak!” she said. “P.F. Chang's.”



Chyna added that her husband-to-be is saved from making late-night food runs thanks to delivery service Postmates, 



“I wonder how much your Postmates bill is,” said the Chymoji mogul. “It's probably ridiculous.”



“I think one month, it got to like, $13,000,” Rob revealed.



When asked if Chyna's child, King Cairo, whom she had with fellow Kardashian love interest and rapper Tyga, will be seen on the show, Chyna confirmed the 3-year-old will appear in episodes.



“You guys will definitely see King on 'Rob & Chyna' because he's a part of our lives. That's my baby, and that's gonna be [Rob's] son-in-law, I mean, wait, his stepdad ― his daddy,” said a confused and giggling Chyna.



If the trailer is any indication, “Rob & Chyna” will embody everything we love about “KUWTK”: family drama, cheesy taglines, and a healthy dose of colorful wigs.



Here's hoping they get picked up for a second season to help Rob pay off that Postmates bill.
