Yes, don't worry, we're talking all about
Baby Yoda today.
Let's get cute and let's Recap.

Hey! It's me, Myah!
And this is buzzed-about news I think you can use!
Aladdin star Mena Massoud expected
a "whole new world" after the movie was a hit.
But his wish wasn't exactly granted.
Can you make me a prince?
In an interview with the Daily Beast,
he said he hasn't had a single audition since
doing the billion dollar film.
Mena was born in Egypt, moved to Canada and even
went to the high school right next to mine!
He struggled to find roles that weren't stereotypes,
like playing a terrorist.
So landing Aladdin, especially opposite Will Smith,
was a dream come true.
But what now?
Are you as surprised by all of this as I am?
I thought for sure after Aladdin he'd be set for life.
I mean, how's Will Smith doing?

The most adorable thing is on the Internet right now?
Two words.
Baby.
Yoda.
The memes are blowing up and according to Axios,
Baby Yoda is getting better social media
activity than every single presidential candidate.
Maybe he should run?
The ears, the eyes, he's perfect meme material!
♪ ♪
After debuting in The Mandalorian series
on Disney+ we still don't know that much about him.
He naps, he has a floating crib.
He's actually 50-years-old,
so he's not really a baby at all.
Oh! And he likes to sip hot liquids.
I have a feeling there's
gonna be a lot of unofficial Baby Yoda
merch under the tree this year.
Disney did team up with
Walmart for this one official toy.
And even though you can pre-order it now,
it won't ship until next summer.
Here's the thing, Baby Yoda is cute and all,
but let's bring on the teen Yoda reality series!
Hmm

Hey Everyone, Saadia is back in the house!
It's me!
Saadia, I love it when you're here because we
get to talk about trending fashion stories.
This week it's all about J.Lo and a dress she made famous.
Girl, Ms J.Lo's iconic, green jungle print Versace gown
is at the centre of a lawsuit!
Now, this dress was worn even before either of us
were born, but I felt the impact of
the dress the moment that I arrived in this world.
This dress that she wore to the 2000 Grammy Awards,
was something the world wasn't ready for.
Did you know that because of that dress,
Google created "google images?"
Back then, it was the most
popular search they had ever seen.
And they wanted to get users more efficient
results, so Google Image Search was born.
I had no idea about that!
And the dress is back in the news this year.
Well, the dress came out of retirement
for this year's Versace Spring 2020 Ready to Wear show.
And J.Lo killed it as the closing look on the runway.
But here's the thin, over the years
a lot of knock-offs have been made and sold for cheap.
Versace is taking a stand now and they're suing
Fashion Nova for knocking off multiple designs,
including the iconic J.Lo green gown.
They even named it "Love Don't Cost a Thing"
after her hit song.
[record scratches]
I know Cardi B did a collab with them.
Exactly!
Some celebrities partner with the brand so they can
design quick and easy and affordable
clothing lines for their fans.
Their website is filled of celebrity inspired outfits.
A lot of Kardashian-Jenner style
that is so popular today.
And while some of it is made with the celebrities
input, most of it are just knock-offs.
They are the epitome of "fast fashion"
Fast fashion is cheap clothing,
not as good quality and made really fast to match
the trends from the red carpets and the runways.
The big problem with fast fashion is that
it's devastating for the environment.
The clothing isn't as well
made and you spend money on a piece that may end up
in the garbage pretty quick.
Yup.
Truth.
So, what do you think
is going to happen with this lawsuit?
Well, Versace is alleging copyright and trademark
infringement, basically saying you can't profit
off the work of a world-renowned designer.
And Fashion Nova's J.Lo knock-off is
quote "tarnishing and degrading" the Versace image.
But if the dress isn't exactly identical
to the original, do they have much of a chance to win?
I guess we'll have to wait and see how this plays out.
In the meantime, do you want to play
a quick game of Wear Off?
Yes!
♪ ♪
Who wins this wear off?
Rihanna or Cardi B?
Rihanna, for the mixing of animal prints.
What?
I say Cardi B, she looks like a million bucks.
Have you never seen a girl with a pink dress...
This is basic for Cardi.
How about Zendaya or Millie Bobby Brown?
Zendaya, that dress looks like a second skin -
it's sculpted on her.
Agreed.
Thank you, thank you.
Who wins, Billie Eilish or Little Nas X?
Little Nas X because who has the confidence to pull off
that great ensemble.
He looks like he came straight out of a UFO.
Billie looks like she came out of a pyjama party somewhere!
It's called Gucci.

I just got out of taste test dare
that I did not want to do.
Look, I hate apples, but this week
the new Cosmic Crisp was released.
It isn't widely available yet,
so we couldn't get our hands on one.
[canned audience ohs]
Oh well, what can you do?
Cosmic Crisp is a cross between
a Honeycrisp and an Enterprise apple.
Out of the 7,000 kinds of apples around the world
these two apparently make a great combo!
And since it can take up to 5 years for an apple
tree to grow an apple, the Cosmic Crisp
took 22 years to perfect.
A fruit horticulturist from B.C. created this
and apparently its skin looks like twinkling stars.
Plus, it doesn't turn brown when it's cut open
and it can last in cold storage for more than 10 months.
Hmm.
The apple's marketing team told us they're now
shipping limited supplies across the U.S.
But they aren't sure where or when they'll be
available in Canada.
Is Cosmic Crisp really out of this world?
Let's see how America likes it first.
Fine by me.
And now, this week in
Things You're Too Old to Do!
You know those highchairs at restaurants?
They're for babies and toddlers, not you.
This 15-year-old girl found that out the hard
way when her friends dared her to sit in one
in a Idaho Chik-fil-A.
She got in okay, she just couldn't get out.
Her friends tried to help
but they finally gave up and called the authorities.
When firefighters arrived, they managed
to take apart the chair so she could wiggle free.
The girl was okay, but talk about embarrassing!
I mean, I'm guilty of sliding into kiddie swings
at the park but let's not
make a highchair challenge go viral. Okay?
♪ ♪
Alright, everyone, that's it for this week's Recap.
I'm going to slide off this chair without
any help from firefighters.
[Yay!]
But I'll be back in it again next week,
so maybe just stay in yours.
