"Belle, belle, belle", l'adaptation hilarante de "I Feel Pretty", ce soir sur TF1
Portée par l'humoriste Joséphine Draï, cette adaptation très attendue de la comédie "I Feel Pretty" est un rendez-vous de fin d'été parfaitement rafraîchissant, drôle et 100% "body positive".

Déprogrammé à la dernière minute fin juin en raison de la diffusion d'un match de l'Euro (le fameux France-Suisse), le téléfilm "Belle, belle, belle" arrive enfin sur TF1 ce lundi 23 août à 21h05.
Cette adaptation très attendue de la comédie "I Feel Pretty", avec Amy Schumer, sortie en 2018, vaut surtout par la prestation de l'humoriste Joséphine Draï ("Babysitting 2", "Plan Coeur", "Prêt à tout", "Sous le même toit"...), hilarante de bout en bout dans le rôle d'Alice.
L'héroïne de la version française ressemble peu ou prou à l'originale : une trentenaire citadine qui se trouve grosse et moche, et qui manque tellement de confiance en elle qu'elle n'arrive pas à entreprendre quoi que ce soit, dans sa vie professionnelle ou privée.
Avec le petit frère de Gad
Mais un jour, après une chute sur la tête à la salle de sport, elle se réveille sans l'ombre d'un complexe. Elle se trouve juste sublime et tout change alors pour elle : elle décroche le job de ses rêves et tombe amoureuse de Benjamin, alias Arié Elmaleh, le petit frère de Gad ("Chouchou", "Dépression et des potes"...).
Mais que se passera-t-il si cette illusion venait à disparaître ? Va-t-elle perdre cette estime de soi qu'il fait faisait défaut ? Le regard que l'on porte sur soi-même est parfois tellement cruel...
En cette fin d'été, voilà un rendez-vous télévisé parfaitement rafraîchissant, drôle et 100% "body positive".
Aux commandes de ce remake, la pétulante Anne Depétrini, animatrice populaire durant les années Canal, devenue comédienne et réalisatrice. Grande fidèle du "Burger Quiz" d'Alain Chabat, celle à qui l'on doit notamment "Il reste du jambon ?" et "L'école est finie" a sorti en mai un livre, "La Quête", dans laquelle elle raconte ses expériences d'introspection (chamanisme, psy, voyance...).
Un ouvrage qui décomplexe, qui fait rire. Comme le film diffusé ce soir. Alors, prêtes à vous sentir "belles, belles, belles" comme le jour et comme l'amour ?
The Food and Drug Administration on Monday granted full approval to the Covid-19 vaccine developed by Pfizer and its partner BioNTech, a long-awaited development that public health officials hope will persuade some people who remain hesitant about the vaccine to get the shot.
The vaccine is the first of the pandemic vaccines used in the United States to transition from emergency use status to full licensure, a major victory for a partnership that decided to forgo funding through the government’s Operation Warp Speed program on the belief that the development project could move faster without being part of the government fast-tracking program.
The FDA said the vaccine was now approved for use in people ages 16 and up, the only group for which Pfizer now has the required six months of followup safety data. Study of the vaccine in 12- to 15-year-olds began later, and the six-month followup is still underway. Until it can be submitted to the FDA and an extension of the license can be issued, the vaccine will continue to be used in 12- to 15-year-olds under the emergency use authorization. Pfizer and BioNTech are still conducting a clinical trial to support the vaccine’s use in children 11 and younger.
The FDA’s prescribing information for the vaccine includes its associated risk of myocarditis and pericarditis, two types of heart inflammation that have appeared rarely among people who’ve received the mRNA vaccines, mostly within seven days after the second shot, health officials said. Men under 40 appear to be at higher risk than women and older men, with the highest observed risk in boys age 12 to 17.
Health officials have said most cases of myocarditis and pericarditis reported so far after people received the vaccines have been mild. “Available data from short-term follow up suggests that most individuals’ symptoms have now resolved,” Peter Marks, the director of FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, said Monday on a call with reporters.
Meantime, U.S. health officials have said they plan to recommend a third dose of the vaccine as a booster shot, pending FDA approval, given some evidence that protection appears to wane over time. (A booster shot will also be recommended for people who received Moderna’s vaccine.) That recommendation, issued last week, swiftly drew concern from some experts, who said they believe the data aren’t strong enough to suggest an additional dose of vaccine is necessary.
Pfizer’s vaccine is sold under the brand name Comirnaty. Since it was first put into emergency use — in the United Kingdom last December — the vaccine has been given to hundreds of millions of people around the world. A handful of countries have already granted the vaccine a license and roughly 70 others have given it emergency use status.
To date, Pfizer and BioNTech have made 1.2 billion doses of vaccine. By the end of the year, that figure is expected to rise to 3 billion doses; in 2022 the companies project they will produce 4 billion doses. The U.S. government has purchased 1 billion doses of the vaccine — half for use in this country and half to donate to low-income countries.
Monday’s approval “affirms the efficacy and safety profile of our vaccine at a time when it is urgently needed,” Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla said in a statement. “I am hopeful this approval will help increase confidence in our vaccine, as vaccination remains the best tool we have to help protect lives and achieve herd immunity.”
The FDA has been under intense pressure to fast-track full approval of the vaccine, given that some people who remain unvaccinated have cited the emergency use authorization as the reason for their reluctance to get the jab. Approval was also expected to make it easier for some public and private organizations to require vaccination.
By law, the FDA had to rule on the application no later than eight months from the date when the final documents were submitted — May 21. But in the face of the political pressure to process the application well before the Jan. 21, 2022, deadline, the agency committed publicly to pull out all the stops to get the job done.
The application was based on a study of 44,000 people, half of whom were given two doses of the Pfizer vaccine. The other half received saline. Based on the six months of followup, the vaccine’s efficacy in preventing symptomatic Covid infection was 91.1%.
Physicians can generally prescribe approved products “off-label,” leading to speculation that some doctors will now prescribe the Pfizer vaccine to children under 12, particularly with school starting. But Woodcock said such a practice “would be of great concern,” noting that clinical trials in kids are still producing data on the shots’ safety in kids and on the proper dose for younger children.
“We need to get the information and data on uses in younger children,” Woodcock said on a call with reporters. “They are not just small adults, and we’ve learned that time and time again.”
Marks said the FDA understood the great interest in when it would authorize vaccines for younger children, but that the agency was still waiting on the companies to submit more data from their trials in kids.
“We will obviously move swiftly once those data are submitted,” Marks said.

On the day Kobe Bryant would have turned 43 years old, we remember the defining characteristics that continue to make him larger than life. The following stories, written since Bryant's tragic death on Jan. 26, 2020, reflect the myriad ways in which his legend lives on
The most memorable games of Kobe's career
Where do we even begin?
81.
60 in his farewell.
62 in three quarters against the Mavericks.
Game 4 vs the Pacers in the 2000 Finals.
Dropping 55 vs Michael Jordan.
Ask any Lakers fan for their five favorite Kobe games of all-time and you'll hear a slew of answers that includes the usual suspects. But the reservoir runs deep and the Lakers' legend provided no shortage of memories for fans across any generation. Maybe you're partial to early Kobe, the indignant young star who waved off Karl Malone in his first-ever All-Star game in order to challenge MJ one-on-one. Maybe you're living in a dreamland in which Kobe and Shaq never split up and you repeatedly harken back to moments like the series-clinching alley-oop in Game 7 of the 2000 Western Conference Finals. Or maybe you're all-in on the twilight myth-making stage, which included gutting out a pair of made throws mere seconds after sustaining a career-altering Achilles injury. Maybe you're just down with international hoops and ride for his performance in the 2008 Gold Medal game vs Spain.
Regardless of your personal preference, Kobe provided something for everyone. Here's a closer look at our picks.
Over the course of 13 games in January 2006, Bryant averaged an incredible 43.4 points per game, marking the greatest scoring month of his illustrious career.
Sure, he dropped 81 points on the Raptors in one of the most iconic performances in NBA history..But it was so much more than that.
During the most prolific season of his career, Bryant soared to new heights in January 2006. In fact, you can count on one hand the number of players that have ever reached his ridiculous level of scoring. In celebration of Kobe Bryant's extraordinary career, The Sporting News revisited the most dominant run of his career.
He looked the part. He talked the part. He played the part.
For many years, Bryant looked like a character actor in a Michael Jordan play, carrying on the legacy of the GOAT with an impersonation so spot on you'd never know the difference if you didn't know any better. The scoring chops, the footwork, the tongue wag, the competitive fire, the defensive intensity, the endless pursuit of perfection, the off-the-court mystique... all of it.
For the entirety of his playing career, Jordan's ominipresent shadow brought the most out of Bryant, who used it as fuel to constantly keep climbing and enhance his own on-court stature. But towards the latter stages of his career and especially after his retirement, Kobe tapped into a humanistic vulnerability that made him universally relatable in ways even Jordan never did.
He mentored the next generation, showcased his creativity beyond basketball, proclaimed his love of coaching his daughter, openly advocated for the women's game, served as an international ambassador, and candidly opened up about his shortcomings.
He let others in and gave back to the game which gave him everything. And in the end, just as Jordan once brought out the best in Bryant, he brought out the best of Jordan as evidenced by Jordan's touching speech at his funeral which revealed a softened and vulnerable side not often — if ever — publicly put forth.
The following stories explore the evolution of their relationship and the mutual respect shared between arguably the two most popular athletes in the history of the sport.
Two birthdays of two iconic legends gone far too soon.
Bryant's tragic death brought forth memories of Roberto Clemente, the 15-time MLB All-Star, NL MVP, and baseball Hall-of-Famer, whose on-field performance was surpassed only by his off-the-field philanthropy. Born Aug. 18, 1934, in Puerto Rico, Clemente tragically died at the age of 38 in a plane crash while delivering emergency relief supplies to Nicaragua following an earthquake. Like Bryant, Clemente's all-around majestic play captured the imaginations of purists and casual fans alike with a bat, glove, arm, and legs that could create magic out of nowhere. Like Bryant, his shocking premature death shook the foundations of society beyond the immediate sports world.
Following Bryant's death in 2020, The Sporting News senior writer Mike DeCourcy examined the parallels between their stories and the profound impact of deep connections developed between fans and heroes.
Gianna Bryant brought out the best side of her father
Former Hawks coach Lloyd Pierce summed up Gianna Bryant's impact on her father perfectly when first reacting to his death following the tragic events of Jan. 26, 2020.
"There's nothing more than the respect I have for [Kobe] as a father. Every image you see of him post-retirement is with his daughters, with his family. Everything you see online, on Twitter is about positivity. He's encouraging others, retweeting positive comments to others.
"And I think it's been the biggest transformation of a competitor to a human being that I've ever seen."
Whether breaking down a game sitting together courtside or playing one-on-one in the gym, Gianna and Kobe walked hand-in-hand as two kindred spirits, the former following in her father's footsteps and bringing out a soft, introspective side of her father not seen throughout the majority of his playing career.
Bryant's relationship with Gianna went beyond the basketball court. He said she was the reason he made the film "Dear Basketball," which won an Academy Award. "My daughter gave me the best piece of advice. I was a little worried about turning this into a film. I’d never done something like that before," Bryant said after winning the Oscar for Best Animated Short in 2018. "We were in the house and talking about it as a family and my little 11-year-old Gianna goes, 'Well Dad, you always tell us to go after our dreams so … man up.' She’s 11. Man up. So I had to man up and go for it."
