See what was brewing with Jen Scordo today. Every day on The Best Show Ever? Jen Scordo shares a few recent weird and interesting news stories. Today that includes Ariana Grande at Wimbledon and a fountain of youth pill has been invented… Here are her stories from today.

The Wimbledon finals took place yesterday and there were celebrities everywhere.  Including Prince William, Kate Middleton, Guy Ritchie, Brad Pitt, Hugh Jackman, Daniel Craig, Nick Jonas, among others. Ariana Grande was also spotted at the men’s singles final. She was seen sitting next to Andrew Garfield and Jonathan Bailey.  But fans were quick to point out that she was not wearing her wedding ring. Of course that sparked rumors that she and her husband Dalton Gomez are heading for a divorce. Gomez was not spotted in the stands.  Rumors have been swirling for a few weeks now as he has been seen in clubs acting single while Grande films in London.

Researchers at Harvard claim that they have come up with a chemical concoction that may reverse aging and extend lifespan. They’ve completed three years of trials on mice and monkeys and they are currently preparing for human trials. They claim that they’ve discovered the magical cocktail that could be an affordable “whole-body rejuvenation.” And that the process could work on humans in less than a week. One of the researchers said, “Studies on the optic nerve, brain tissue, kidney and muscle have shown promising results, with improved vision and extended lifespan in mice and recently, in April of this year, improved vision in monkeys.”  So the magic pills won’t be available tomorrow, but things are leading in the right direction to possibly reverse some aging symptoms.

Pennsylvania: These Emojis Can Make People Like You

Emojis are here to stay. In fact, pretty much every age group uses emojis now. Whether you're a Gen Z or a grandparent of a Gen Z, you've probably used emojis on a regular basis. So, which emojis can make people like you? Okay, these aren't guarantied to win homecoming court or anything. But, these emojis tend to be the ones that personally make me happy, and they're among the most popular emojis that people use, too.

Adobe's most recent emoji report, the "Future of Creativity: 2022 U.S. Emoji Trend Report," released last fall, surveyed 5,000 emoji users from the United States. They discovered that the emojis enhances "our everyday lives, especially when it comes to self-expression, relationship building, and mental health. The versatility of emoji allows for endless possibilities to connect with each other, as their meanings evolve and inclusivity expands."

Paul D. Hunt, typeface designer and font developer at Adobe, and Kamile Demir, computer scientist at Adobe and Adobe representative on the Unicode Emoji Subcommittee, discussed their emoji thoughts on the new report. "Emoji give people the resources they need to be able to express themselves and show their emotions, whether it be on social media or messaging apps. They allow people to convey more than just words on a screen and connect more deeply to others," Demir said.

One other reason why emojis are so popular is because the online connection can be very cold. Hence, emojis give a human aspect to those online and digital communications. "When we spend so much time behind screens, those desires increase without the in-person markers of tone, facial expressions, and body language," Adobe states. Emojis help bring emotion and life to an otherwise very stale form of conversation. Ready to get your emoji on? Read on for some facts about emojis and what emojis are most popular- and could make people like you more.
