Christian Bale is notoriously known for his ability to physically transform his body to the extreme for roles in movies like The Machinist and American Hustle, but now, he has to drop out of his latest production because of health concerns. Bale was set to star in Enzo Ferrari, a biopic directed by Michael Mann about a race car driver. Bale had begun gaining weight for the role, but became worried that he wouldn’t be able to safely gain the amount of weight needed in time for production to start in the spring. Deadline reports Bale has dropped out of the project and director Mann is scrambling to find a replacement for the role so production doesn’t get pushed back to a later date. The film is based on a screenplay based on Brock Yates’s book Enzo Ferrari: The Man, The Cars, The Races.

“The Last Man on Earth” actor Will Forte showed up to the Fox Television Critics Association party sporting a half shaved face & head. The bizarre look resembled two men with one face as the actor shaved half of his head, eyebrow, beard and mustache. The 45-year-old “Saturday Night Live” veteran wasn’t the only one rocking the half & half look – his “Last Man on Earth” co-star Mel Rodriguez joined suit. While the reason behind the transformation is unknown, Will was recently quoted teasing the premise of an upcoming episode of the US sitcom, saying: “There is one thing that I have been so excited about and it is going to be the dumbest-looking thing you have ever seen”

Hallelujah! iPhone users will be happy to hear that you can now hide those 32 annoying default apps on your iPhone and iPad! Developers with iOS 9.3 beta can use Apple Configurator 2.2 on their iPhone, which will let users permanently delete apps like Stocks, Game Center and Maps.

1. Put the apps you want to delete in a folder
2. Press and hold on those apps so they begin jiggling, as if you were to delete or move an app
3. Drag that app to the edge of the folder to move so it moves the next page of the folder, but keep the app in place when the page has moved
4. While still holding the app, press the home button. It should disappear off the edge of the screen.
