There is a Barbie easter egg hidden in Google
As the release of the Barbie movie is just days away, excitement is in the air with brand collaborations, pink billboards and talk of "Kenenergy." Even Google is getting into the spirit as it now has a Barbie-based hidden Easter egg feature. Given the popularity of the movie ahead of it coming out, there's no doubt fans will be using Google to look up associated words with the film such as director Greta Gerwig, as well as Barbie and Ken played by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter If you give those names a Google search then you'll see the page light up with pink sparkles before turning the page that was previously white into a pink hue to channel the Barbiecore aesthetic. It's not the first time Google has used this feature for films or shows as a there was a Cordyceps animation for The Last of Us and a Grogu appeared for The Mandalorian. There was plenty of reaction and feedback after this feature went viral on Twitter. Meanwhile, others couldn't resist making some "Barbenheimer" based humour, where they joked about this feature being used for the Oppenheimer film when looking up actor Cillian Murphy and director Christopher Nolan. The story is about American scientist J. Robert Oppenheimer (played by Murphy) and his role in the development of the atomic bomb. Needless to say, the memes were explosive. Elsewhere, here are 20 of the best Barbenheimer memes, reactions and mashups, 36 of the biggest Barbie brand collaborations and all Barbie-inspired looks Margot Robbie has worn.

Birmingham closing in on Wayne Rooney appointment
Wayne Rooney is close to an agreement with Birmingham to become their new manager. Talks are progressing well and there is no expectation of any hold-ups, the PA news agency understands. The former England skipper will replace John Eustace at St Andrew’s after leaving DC United last week. Rooney, who was Derby boss between November 2020 and June 2022, is expected to be joined by Ashley Cole and John O’Shea as part of his backroom staff. US-based Shelby Companies Limited completed a takeover of Birmingham in July and owner Tom Wagner has been reportedly seeking to make a change of management, with Rooney’s name linked with the club in September. In August seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady became a minority owner in the club. Eustace was sacked despite guiding Birmingham to sixth place in the Championship this season. He replaced Lee Bowyer in July 2022 and helped Birmingham finish nine points above the drop zone in the second tier amid off-field issues surrounding the ownership of the club. The former Coventry and Watford midfielder was axed on Monday and chief executive Garry Cook vowed to take Blues to the next level. He said: “The owners and board members are ambitious. They are driven to help make Birmingham City a football powerhouse. It will not happen overnight. It is a step-by-step approach. “We are well aware of what has happened at Blues over the past decade. We believe we have moved on from those dark days giving hope and aspiration to existing and new fans. “Our intent is to be judged over what we do in the years to come and be ambitious with the new story that we are writing.” Read More James Maddison admits timing of international break is ‘annoying’ for Tottenham Danny Sapsford keen to keep growing his bright idea and put smiles on more faces Howard Webb disappointed by VAR failure to correct ‘clear error’ on offside goal

'Kendall Jenner on steroids' earns thousands from OnlyFans arm wrestling videos
A female bodybuilder, who some have called "Kendall Jenner on steroids", has opened up about her five-figure-a-month salary on OnlyFans. Model Vladislava Galagan started training 11 years ago, before competing in bodybuilding competitions in 2018. The 27-year-old soon developed a social media following with her frequent training videos and model shots. This prompted her to set up an OnlyFans account, with fans likening her to Kendall Jenner. "I sell this image of being good-looking and muscular and combine it and with a little erotic," she said, adding that she also uploads arm wrestling videos. "When I joined social media, I learnt there are so many men who like tall, strong muscular women with a nice face too." She added: "I am constantly told I look like 'Kendall Jenner on steroids'. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Vladislava has adhered to a strict diet and workout routine since she began competing in bodybuilding competitions over a decade ago. She goes to the gym at least six times per week - working out for around an hour and a half each time - and eats a protein-heavy diet. She eats four meals a day to make sure she eats over 100g of protein - favouring protein-rich foods such as beef, eggs, turkey, chicken and fish. She also takes performance-enhancing drugs to help maximise her efforts - but says there's no "magic pill" and it must be coupled with a consistent diet and training. She visits the gym six days a week and trains each muscle group twice a week as well as having three cardio sessions a week. In 2016, Vladislava opened an Instagram account and began sharing her gym progress pictures. She also began doing fitness modelling - and due to her toned physique she fed into a particular "fetish around muscly women". As well as contributing to a platform called 'Her Biceps' - specifically for female bodybuilders - she set up an OnlyFans and Patreon for people to subscribe to her exclusive content. She said: "I'm muscular and good-looking, it sells really well. "So many people think it's CGI or photoshop, but it's not. "I wear see-through lingerie, leather and latex, but I don’t do anything explicit - I just imply. "I also do arm wrestling videos - people like those." As her subscription platforms and her social media grew, there was one particular recurring comment. She said she is told daily that she looks like a muscly version of Kendall Jenner. On TikTok, examples include one user who commented "@kendalljenner got f***ing jacked" while another said "she's like a buff Kendall.... I'm all for it." A third commented: "Face of Kendall Jenner, body of Chris Evans [from Captain America]." She said she receives these comments daily - although she doesn't personally agree. She said: "I don't really know how they see it. I guess there are some similarities. "It's not how I brand myself, but they like a mix of my face and my body." Thanks to "hitting the sweet spot" by combining looks and physique, she takes home five-figure paychecks each month from her OnlyFans and Patreon. She added: "I feel like I won the lottery."

Professor roasted by Gen Z for 'wild take' on how long to spend at home each day
Gen Z has labelled one man's advice a "wild take" after saying younger generations should "never be at home" if they want to be successful. During the Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit, New York University Professor Scott Galloway, 58, offered his candid advice. And well, Gen Z didn't take to it lightly. "You should never be at home. That is what I tell young people," he said, before suggesting that home is exclusive for "seven hours of sleep." Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter “The amount of time you spend at home is inversely correlated to your success professionally and romantically. “You need to be out of the house.” The clip was soon shared on TikTok, where it was inundated with reality checks from Gen Z. "One of my measures of success is how long I can stay in my home without talking or meeting with other people," one person joked, while another hit back about the cost of living: "Nah bro I'm paying 2,100 a month. IM GOING TO MAKE USE OR THIS HOME." "I found my people in this comment section. Carry on. lol," a third joked. Many more commented on how "expensive" it is to be outside. @wallstreetjournal “If you're not working, you should be with friends, trying to find a mate or working out,” said Scott Galloway, NYU marketing professor and host of The Prof G Pod podcast, at the #WSJCEOCouncil Summit on Wednesday. To be successful, he said, it takes 110%. #scottgalloway #success #howtobesuccessful #careeradvice #jobs #worklifebalance #hustleculture #dating #wsj #thewallstreetjournal #wsj During his chat, he also mentioned that a work-life balance doesn't exist if people wanted to to be in the "top 10 per cent." "You can have it all. You just can’t have it all at once," he suggested. "While we all know that guy or gal who has a great relationship with their parents, is in amazing shape, has a food blog, donates time at [animal welfare group] the ASPCA and is a DJ on the weekends, assume you are not that person. "If you expect to be in the top 10 per cent economically, much less the top 1 per cent, buck up. Two decades plus of nothing but work. That’s my experience." Have your say in our news democracy.
