Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci Wage War in Martin Scorsese's The Irishman
This is not a drill, folks: Netflix's latest drama features a combination of talents that may in fact blow your mind. Academy Award winners Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Joe Pesci star in the streamer's upcoming film The Irishman, directed by the one and only Martin Scorsese. The film, which uses digital effects and makeup to de-age the actors to a dark witchcraft-like degree, follows De Niro as Frank "The Irishman" Sheeran, a World War II veteran and labor union leader who allegedly became a hitman for the Bufalino crime family and played a role in the disappearance of union activist Jimmy Hoffa. Pacino stars as the notoriously mob-connected union boss Hoffa, with a supporting cast that includes Anna Paquin, Bobby Cannavale, Ray Romano, Sebastian Maniscalco, and Harvey Keitel.
Described as "an epic saga of organized crime in post-war America," The Irishman will catch your attention with its moody cinematography (thanks to the Oscar-nominated Rodrigo Prieto, who also shot Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street and Ang Lee's Brokeback Mountain) and intriguing gangster drama, but it's the VFX magic at work that will really catch your eye. Considering that De Niro's de-aged skin has the best postfacial glow we've ever seen, we can confirm that not all CGI trickery is necessarily evil. Check out the teaser above, and look out for when The Irishman debuts on Netflix and in select theaters this Fall.

Jane the Virgin Is at an End, but a Spinoff Is on the Way! Here's What You Need to Know
The final season of The CW's Jane the Virgin is at an end, which means it's time to direct our attention to the show's spinoff, Jane the Novela. Fans are obviously very excited about any new information about the project, so we went ahead and got some for you. Jane the Virgin creator Jennie Snyder Urman shared some juicy details about the upcoming series, which is being written by Valentina Garza, while speaking to journalists during the Television Critics Association press tour in January, and since then a bunch more tidbits have come out. Let's break it all down!
Gina Rodriguez Will Narrate the New Show
No offense to Anthony Mendez, who voices the Latin Lover Narrator on Jane the Virgin, but our girl's got this. It also makes a lot of sense for her to do it, since Snyder Urman said "the spinoff is a different conceit, because they're Jane's novels that she'll write in the future."
If Snyder Urman has her way, Rodriguez will also direct. She's already directed two episodes of Jane the Virgin so far, including the season five premiere, which features her character giving one mammoth monologue and is therefore even more of a directing challenge. On top of that, she's tackled an episode of the other series Snyder Urman executive produces, Charmed. After the panel, Snyder Urman said of Rodriguez's directing that "I knew she was going to be amazing with the actors - that was no surprise to me - but I did not know what a genius she was with composition and cameras and framing. I mean, next level."
It's Closer to the American Horror Story Definition of an 'Anthology'
As opposed to a different story each episode like in Black Mirror, Snyder Urman said that this show will tell one complete story a season, similar to the way it's done on FX's American Horror Story or HBO's True Detective.
This makes sense, she reminded us, because traditional telenovelas tell a story over one season and then move on. "It feels really exciting to be able to tell this kind of emotional, dramatic, scary, funny story all in one season," she said.
Perhaps this might also change the show's chances with the Emmy Awards? Jane the Virgin has always been unfortunately neglected by the TV Academy (although Rodriguez won a Golden Globe in 2015 for best actress in a TV comedy). Emmy voters have one more year to get it right.
Will Any Other Jane the Virgin Characters Appear in This Show?
According to Snyder Urman, "Probably not the first year." She noted that if the show makes it to a second season - provided it gets picked up to series in the first place - and they get time to establish new characters and settings, "we can see what comes. But, I mean, I love this cast. I'd be lucky to work with every single one of them again, and I really hope to." We now have renewed faith that she will, given a recent Instagram post from star Jacqueline Grace Lopez that shows her standing with Ivonne Coll, who plays Alba on JTV. "Goddess," Lopez captioned a cute shot of them hugging. "A privilege to work with this angel and call her Mom." So, it seems Coll will once again be playing a matriarch of some sort!
Overall, having JTV stars or characters pop up in the spinoff honestly isn't that far-fetched of an idea given what we know about Jane's writing. Her first book, Snow Falling (which you can actually buy IRL), is inspired by her own life. Set in early 1900s Miami, it's a love triangle among a hotel employee, the railroad tycoon who owns the hotel, and the police officer to whom she's betrothed. Sure, it only has three and a half stars on Goodreads, but maybe her second book will fare better! Why else would it have scored a $500,000 price tag, right?
The Cast For Season One Is Already Coming Together
Though we probably won't be seeing Jane, Xiomara, or Alba in the first season, we will be seeing some other familiar faces! East Los High's Jacqueline Grace Lopez and Weeds alum Hunter Parrish have been cast as two of the show's leads, Estela and Felix. Similar to how Jane was torn between Michael and Rafael in JTV, Estela will be torn between her boyfriend, Luen (Spider-Man: Far From Home's Remy Hii), and Felix (Parrish), a handsome rich guy.
Former Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross will also star as Felix's "glamorous mother," Renata, who co-owns a winery with her son and will stop at nothing to secure her son's legacy, even if it means standing in the way of his happiness." Just like a telenovela! As far as the rest of the cast is concerned, you can expect to see Holland Roden (Teen Wolf), Benito Martinez (Sons of Anarchy), Federico Dordei (2 Broke Girls), and more.
The Setting Will Be Different
While Jane the Virgin is set in the colorful, vibrant world of a Miami luxury hotel known as The Marbella, Snyder Urman confirmed that Jane the Novela "will be set in Napa Valley at the intersection of wine and art." That's a twist, since we don't know if Jane knows much about Northern California. She doesn't take a research trip this season, but maybe we can assume she later goes there on her honeymoon with Raf? Or helps Petra scout a new location for the expanding Marbella brand? If she needs any advice, we highly recommend she peruse POPSUGAR'S list of the best things to do in Napa and also maybe our tips for riding the area's famous wine train.
The Tone Will Be the Same
Snyder Urman did stress that the two projects have the same bones and the new one would also have "magical realism and a very actively imaginative heroine." (Hmm. That sounds familiar). Jane the Virgin trademarks like the pun-themed hashtags that appear on screen would also carry on to the new show. We also have been told that the spinoff focuses on a family that fails to keep its secrets buried for long. Think of all the dead bodies buried at or near The Marbella (Rafael's dad! Scott!) or found there (Anezka!).
Maybe they will inspire one of Jane's stories? Snyder Urman did say that there are "little hints here and there" to these stories in this season of Jane the Virgin, "but you've gotta really dig in." Good thing the fifth season is coming to Netflix soon so we can re-watch and try to spot some clues!

The Best Onscreen Hair Transformations That Made You Do a Double Take
It's not just some cheesy line in a rom-com or plot twist during a scary movie that can make you feel some things. In fact, with TV shows and films in particular, it's not at all uncommon for a character's drastic haircut or hair color change to elicit a strong reaction from the person on the other side of the screen. That's all part of the cinematic adventure.
Whether the hair transformation makes you want to throw your popcorn at the screen or sneak a screenshot of it on your iPhone to bring to your hairstylist, well, that's a different story. Someone who loves Jon Snow's manbun might despise Jackson Maine's messy lob. It's entirely subjective, and that's the beauty of it.
So, to help us narrow down the best onscreen hair moments, we've asked POPSUGAR editors to share their favorite transformations in cinematic history - from Girls to Grease to How to Get Away With Murder. Then, tell us more: do you agree?

28 Times Jane the Virgin's Rafael Gave You Serious Hot Flashes
Jane the Virgin is about to close out its fifth and final season, and if there's one thing we can always count on, it's Rafael Solano (Justin Baldoni) being incredibly sexy no matter what wild hijinks are going on. From the moment we laid eyes on him in season one, Rafael has had our hearts. It's been so great having him back, and need we remind you of how adorable he is when he cradles his newborn son - without a shirt? (Mateo needs skin-to-skin contact, you guys!) Since the series is about to end, there's no better time to embrace Rafael for all he has given us. Once you're done, check out all the times you couldn't help but love Rogelio.
This Is 1 Way Swimming May Have the Edge on Other Cardio Workouts, According to Experts
If you want to build muscle, you need to strength train - but swimming is one form of cardio that can help inch you closer to your goals. "Muscle is built by repetitive motions, using the same muscles over and over again," Cindy Dallow, PhD, a sports dietitian and triathlon coach, told POPSUGAR. Plus, unlike the air you pass through when running or walking, water provides a bit of resistance, mounting an even greater challenge to your muscles. "This activity stimulates muscle protein synthesis, which is what increases strength, assuming adequate protein is consumed," she explained.
So, whether you're breast stroking or back stroking, as the laps add up, so will your muscle gains - at least in your upper body. "Swimming increases strength in some of the shoulder and back muscles," Dr. Dallow said. Perhaps more importantly, "it improves aerobic capacity and cardiorespiratory fitness." In one study, women who swam for 60 minutes three times a week for 12 weeks showed significant improvements in flexibility and cardiovascular endurance, in addition to losing body fat.
Still, to better tone your body, you should keep up with your strength-training routine. If the gains weren't motivation enough, it could help prevent injuries in the pool. "Many swimmers develop shoulder injuries, so having a strong upper body helps prevent that from happening, in addition to making them a strong swimmer," Dr. Dallow said.

The Cast of Orange Is the New Black Looks Way Different in Other Roles
We're psyched that Orange Is the New Black has returned for a seventh and final season, and it has us thinking about our favorite inmates out of the prison. We've seen them out of character during award shows, but what about their other movie and film parts? Here are the ones that might make you see these actors in a whole new light.
The Bachelorette's Hannah Gives Out Her Final Rose, and Her Choice Is Incredibly Complicated
Following a crazy season, Hannah Brown finally picked a winner during The Bachelorette finale on Tuesday night. Though the 24-year-old Alabama native was clearly having a hard time choosing between Tyler and Jed just moments before the big reveal, she eventually pulled herself together, and gave her final rose to Jed.
It all went down when Tyler walked out of the car first (we all know what that means) and began professing his love to Hannah. However, in the middle of his romantic speech, Hannah cut him off to let him know that he wasn't the man she picked. Even though Tyler was clearly upset, he was still a total gentleman about the whole thing as he told Hannah that he was still going to be her biggest fan and root for her and Jed. Aww!
After sending home a tearful Tyler, Hannah came face to face with Jed . . . and his guitar. Yes, the 25-year-old singer and writer of Better Bowl's dog food jingle decided to propose to Hannah with a song. After Jed sealed the deal through song, Hannah told confessed her love for him before the Nashville native got down on one knee and proposed.
While the whole proposal certainly seemed romantic in the moment, fans can't help but feel a little uneasy about Hannah's decision after recent reports that Jed had a girlfriend when he was on the show. Well, all of that was put out in the open during the dramatic "After the Final Rose" special.
As Hannah explained during a pre-taped video, Jed previously told her that he was seeing a girl before the show, but ended things before the series aired. However, Hannah began to doubt Jed when his ex, Haley Stevens, came forward with her side of the story. She told People they'd been together for four months and said they loved each other. In fact, they "spent the night together the night before he headed to LA" to film the series. He even told Haley that he was only doing the series to further his music career.
Following the reports, Hannah met with Jed in person to discuss the whole situation. According to Jed, he wasn't seeing Haley "exclusively," even though they went on vacations together, she met his family, and he told her he loved her. As he explained it, he didn't really mean it when he professed his love to Haley, and though he might not have "verbally" ended the relationship, it felt like it was over in his heart.
After getting an inside look at their private conversation, Hannah opened up even more about the controversy with Chris Harrison during the live show. She confirmed that she is no longer with Jed and the engagement is officially over. "That's not what I said yes to," Hannah explained.
