One minute he's slinging slices at Scarr's in NYC, the next he's strutting in Paris Fashion Week. Christiano Wennmann, the 24-year-old pizzaiolo, has turned into a runway rocket. Discovered by pure accident where a fashion assistant walked in for a pie and left with a model - Wennmann went from pepperoni to posing for Willy Chavarria's underwear line in literal weeks. No biggie.
A lucky instance has now made Christiano's life as he has now upgraded from a pizza guy to a straight up NY model
The Paris gig? Instant smash. Wennmann owned the catwalk, got signed by a top agency, and landed spreads in HERO and Dazed. Since then, he's modelled for brands like Sami Miro and had his Insta blow up. But fame hasn't gone to his flour-dusted head - he's still flipping pizzas back home at Scarr's.
Owning every catwalk, he has landed spreads in classics like HERO and Dazed

"Modelling doesn't change who I am," he says. "I'm still the same guy." Customers now fangirl mid-order. "Weren't you just in Paris?" But he keeps it humble. It's giving main character energy. Wennmann joins the ranks of accidental icons like Maleesha Kharwa and Rita Gaviola - living proof that your big break might just walk in asking for a slice.
Deemed a "practical move" by the owner, the book brigade is magical. Pic/Instagram @serendipity_books_chelsea (right) Chelsea locals formed a human chain to help Serendipity Books move shop. Pic/Instagram@serendipity_books_chelsea
In the most wholesome plot twist of the week, a tiny town in Michigan passed the books - all 9,100 of them. Chelsea locals formed a human chain to help Serendipity Books move shop, passing every single title hand to hand down an entire block and onto the new shelves. Owner Michelle Tuplin called it a "practical" move. In just under two hours, the brigade turned into a book-loving block party.

Jennifer Lopez got hit with a dose of humble pie when a dude on the street had zero clue who she was - like a random NPC. Later, she called fan-voted awards her "feels trip," proving even celebrities crave validation and can get a bit of an ego-check. Lopez rocked at the awards... but still got slightly slayed on the roads of New York City.
This horse of Absolute Agreement and Understanding has been going viral. PIC/INSTAGRAM@horseknows
TikTok's latest oracle? A vigorously nodding horse. Dubbed the Horse of Absolute Agreement and Understanding, this equine icon says "yes" (with Björk in the background) to everything from bad decisions to emotional damage. Its opposite - Horse of Disapproval - just shakes its head. Truly the horse world's answer to everything is "Yes, man!"
The event hosted the world's largest sperm race in LA. Representational PIC/ISTOCK
Ready, set, swim! On April 25, LA is hosting the world's first live-streamed sperm race - yes! This is going to be an actual sperm sprinting 20cm under a microscope. Backed by tech bros with $1 million (whoa!), the event aims to spotlight plummeting male fertility rates (down 50 percent since 1973). Think Formula 1, but way, way smaller.
A former nurse ditches all modern hygiene standards. PIC/PINTEREST@FactyHealthy
No shampoo, no toothpaste, no deodorant - and Brittany Bland swears she's never felt better. (calling it cap right now). The 41-year-old mum of three from Ohio ditched modern hygiene for baking soda and vinegar, healed her cavities "naturally," and now runs a holistic business after years of misdiagnosis, surgeries, and chronic pain.
A woman in Andalucia, Spain, who claimed to have lost her ability to speak after a 2003 workplace assault, was exposed as a fraud after a private detective recorded her yapping freely. The court has cut her disability pension (as they should). She now faces legal action to repay 16 years' benefits, which is insanely a lot of money.
