Jonah Hill Shrugs Off Body Insecurity Issues After Shirtless Photo Is Published: I Finally ‘Accept Myself’ – TheWrap

Jonah Hill has gotten over his decades-long battle with body insecurity and is telling all those kids out there “who don’t take their shirt off at the pool” that they are “wonderful and awesome and perfect.” Hill took to Instagram Friday night after The Daily Mail posted a picture of him changing shirts following a recent surf session.

New fears of next coronavirus wave as case declines slow – Los Angeles Times

Federal officials are expressing worry that the decline in daily new coronavirus cases nationwide is starting to flatten as one of the variants, from the U.K., is on the rise. They warned states against relaxing COVID-19 restrictions, saying the nation remains at a precarious point that could tip into a fourth surge before more people get vaccinated. “We are at that very precarious position that we were right before the fall surge — where anything that could perturb that could give us another surge,” Dr. Anthony Fauci, President Biden’s chief medical advisor on the pandemic, told reporters at a briefing Friday. “We don’t want to be people always looking at the dark side of things, but you want to be realistic.
