Kyle Richards has famously sleek, straight hair, but even she says it needs a little help to hold shape. “I have straight hair, so sometimes we wanna put something in it, just sort of like lift a little root a little bit,” Richards shared during a recent Amazon livestream while talking about the Keranique’s Lift and Repair Treatment Spray.
It doesn’t just give instant lift at the roots, it also protects against heat damage, reduces frizz and uses a keratin amino complex to help strengthen and thicken hair strands. And for shoppers with fine, limp hair, it’s a game-changer.
“This root lifter is one of the best ones I’ve purchased. It doesn’t make your scalp itchy. It gives you a lot of lift without being hard and sticky,” one reviewer shared.
Another five-star reviewer called it a “game-changer,” adding, “I’m in love with Keranique Hair Thickening, you won’t need a leave in conditioner when using this spray. It’s easy to apply on wet hair and hair is tangle free. Not only does it give me great volume and fullness, but also adds a nice texture to my fine, thin hair color treated hair.”
If your blowouts collapse in record time or your roots just won’t hold shape, it might be worth taking a page out of Kyle’s book. Grab the Keranique Lift and Repair Treatment Spray and see why Richards and so many shoppers swear its their secret weapon for volume that lasts.
My friends have no idea where I am at any given time. Yep, I’m that person. I catch flights (not feelings), and I’ve racked up more frequent flyer miles in the past year than most people do in their entire lives. All this to say, I’ve become a bit of an expert when it comes to packing for trips.
If you’re stuck on what articles of clothing are absolutely necessary for your next vacation, you came to the right place. Below, you’ll find my complete guide to the items that deserve a spot in your suitcase. With these well-rounded picks, you’ll never be struggling to put together an outfit, no matter where you are in the world.
17 Fashion Items I Swear by as a Frequent Flyer
Tops
1. My Favorite:Black T-shirts are a reliable travel staple. You can style it casually, dress it up and even lounge in the tee. Consider it a no-brainer fallback for the days when you don’t know what to wear.
2. Smooth and Sharp: In the same vein as the black T-shirt, I always pack a white and a black bodysuit. This sleeveless racerback style comes in a pack of three and creates a slimming effect.
3. Elevated Button-Up: Every vacation includes a formal (or formal-ish) dinner. Button-up blouses are often lightweight and don’t take up much space. Plus, they instantly upgrade basic jeans with minimal effort.
4. Don’t Forget This! Unless you’re traveling to the tropics, you’ll want to pack a lightweight sweater — almost always. You might not think you need it, but weather can fluctuate, and it’s always important to be prepared.
5. My Favorite: Summer travels call for breathable fabrics, and nothing is better than linen. I’ve taken this pair of Quince Linen pants with me to Türkiye, Ireland, London, France, Cape Cod and more because they’re airy, versatile and easy to care for.
6. Old Reliable:Dependable denim always earns itself a spot in my suitcase. The patchwork pockets on this pair add some dimension to the style.
8. The Only Skirt You Need: Slip skirts offer plenty of flexibility. Consider this the white T-shirt of bottoms for how it can be dressed up or down and worn for nearly every occasion.
Dresses and Matching Sets
9. My Favorite: I, for one, don’t enjoy chilling in leggings on vacation — especially in a warm location. An informal, flouncy mini dress is my go-to, and this design is so comfy it feels like wearing a night gown.
10. Eye-Catching Sundress: When I travel, my motto is ‘the brighter, the better,’ especially when it comes to dresses. Wearing this vivid floral sundress instantly boosts your mood. Not to mention, it looks incredible in photos.
11. All Set! Short sets, like this tailored vest option, allow you to focus on your destination instead of worrying about how you look.
12. Double Duty: Button-down short sets, including this striped pastel design, are my pick for beach vacations because they work impeccably well as cover-ups but each piece can also be styled on its own.
Shoes
13. My Favorite: If you plan on exploring your destination, white sneakers are 100% needed. Make sure you choose a pair that’s stylish and offers plush cushioning to protect your soles as you get your steps in.
14. Comfy Stompers: I refuse to travel without my Palladium boots. You might think that combat boots are too heavy and bulky, but this expertly designed pick is light as air, cushioned like clouds and adds a cool vibe to any outfit.
15. Strut it Out: Stick with heels that have block heels and soft straps that allow you to dance the night away pain-free.
Bags
16. My Favorite: A featherlight backpack can enhance your entire travel experience, which is why I’ll only fly with Dagne Dover. The medium size bag is spacious and sleek, and I can throw it in the wash at the end of my trip.
17. Crossbody Forever: Wearing this anti-theft crossbody will give you peace of mind during your travels.
During the Wednesday, July 2, episode of her “Khloé in Wonder Land” podcast, the Good American cofounder, 41, answered a question about a time in her life she felt like the “strongest version” of herself, prompting her to reminisce on her romantic history.
Kardashian was nine months pregnant with her first child, daughter True, in April 2018 when news broke that her then-boyfriend, Thompson, had been cheating on her. Seven years later, the reality TV star reflected on how her previous relationship breakdown had “prepared” her for dealing with another traumatic episode in her love life.
“With me and my ex-husband, me going through such a public divorce and handling that,” she began. “It was a great love that was now lost and that whole thing. It was so public, so public that I’ve never dealt with something like that before, but I dealt with it, and I had my family support and all of that.”
Kardashian filed for divorce from Odom, 45, in December 2013 after four years of marriage. The couple finalized their legal separation in December 2016.
According to Kardashian, her split from Odom “was a stepping stone, if you will, for the next big traumatic thing that happened to me, [which] was when Tristan cheated on me right before I gave birth.”
“Obviously, no one can prepare you for something like that,” the Kardashians star said. “And it wasn’t the cheating. That’s like, ‘Oh, people get cheated on.’ It was more that I was nine months pregnant, I was having a baby two days later, and it was so public and it was everywhere.”
She continued, “I think I handled it the best that I knew how because I almost got a little experience of it, or a lot of experience from it, from my divorce with Lamar. So it sort of prepared me.”
Kardashian admitted that had it not been for her previous divorce, she might not have been able to navigate the fallout of Thompson’s cheating scandal.
“If it was just the one-off situation and you have these newly fresh hormones, just trying to be a first-time mom and be present in this moment and experience this moment … I don’t know if I would have been able just to handle that isolated incident,” she said.
Looking back now, Kardashian said, “For how I handled so many of those moments in my life, I’m really proud of myself for the way I handled them.”
She added, “I think when you overcome those experiences, you feel really strong.”
Kardashian and Thompson, 34, welcomed True, 7, in April 2018 followed by son Tatum, 2, via surrogate in July 2022. The couple called off their relationship in June 2021, though they remain committed to coparenting their two children.
Portuguese soccer player Diogo Jota and his brother, André Silva, were killed in a car crash in Zamora, Spain, in the early hours of Thursday, July 3. They were 28 and 25, respectively.
Jota had just tied the knot with his longtime partner, Rute Cardoso, less than two weeks prior.
“The information we have so far is that the car, which was a Lamborghini, was in a road traffic accident and left the road due to a tire blowout while overtaking,” the Spanish Guardia Civil told BBC News. “It was in the early hours, 00:30 BST, in the municipality of Cernadilla in the province of Zamora.”
“The car caught on fire, and the two occupants were killed,” the local police force said, confirming the identities of the two people as Jota and Silva.
Jota played as a forward for the English Premier League team Liverpool F.C.
The soccer team said in a statement via its website, “Liverpool Football Club are devastated by the tragic passing of Diogo Jota. The club have been informed the 28-year-old has passed away following a road traffic accident in Spain along with his brother, Andre.”
“Liverpool FC will be making no further comment at this time and request the privacy of Diogo and Andre’s family, friends, teammates and club staff is respected as they try to come to terms with an unimaginable loss. We will continue to provide them with our full support,” the statement continued.
Portuguese Prime Minister Luís Montenegro said in a statement via X, “The news of the death of Diogo Jota, an athlete who greatly honoured Portugal’s name, and his brother is unexpected and tragic. I extend my deepest condolences to their family. It is a sad day for football and for national and international sport.”
In a statement to the BBC, Portuguese Football Federation president Pedro Proenca said: “The Portuguese Football Federation and all of Portuguese football are completely devastated by the death of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva, this early morning, in Spain.”
“Much more than an amazing player, with almost 50 international appearances for the national team, Diogo Jota was an extraordinary person, someone with an infectious joy and a reference in the community itself,” Proenca continued. “On my behalf, and on behalf of the Portuguese Football Federation, I express my deepest condolences to the family and friends of Diogo and Andre Silva, as well as Liverpool FC and FC Penafiel, the clubs where, respectively, they played their football.”
“The loss of Diogo and Andre represent irreplaceable losses for Portuguese football and we will do everything, daily, to honor their legacy,” he added.
Jota tied the knot with Cardoso, with whom he has three young children, on June 22, sharing pictures from their wedding day via social media at the time.
“June 22, 2025 • Yes to forever ,” Jota captioned a series of photos from their nuptials on Saturday, June 28.
On Monday, June 30, Cardoso shared snaps of herself in her wedding dress via her own Instagram along with the caption, “My dream came true .”
Jota commented on the post: “But I’m the lucky one .”

A new month means new movies to stream on Hulu, and July has plenty of treasures for subscribers to find and watch.
A great way to determine which movies are the best is to look up their score on Rotten Tomatoes, which aggregates critical reviews and assigns them a number on its Tomatometer.
This July, a Michael B. Jordan drama, an Oscar-nominated animated film and a horror sci-fi sequel all have at least 90 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and can be streamed on Hulu right now.
In May 2021, A Quiet Place Part IIwas so hotly anticipated by audiences that not even an ongoing pandemic could keep people away from theaters. The film was a hit, but that was due to its superb quality. It’s the rare sequel that’s just as good as the original and, to this author’s eyes, is even better.
The follow-up to 2018’s A Quiet Place finds Evelyn Abbott (Emily Blunt) and her two children looking for safe refuge after the events of the first film. They team up with Emmett (Cillian Murphy), a friend of her husband, Lee (John Krasinski), who has lost his family to the noise-sensitive aliens that have invaded Earth. Together, they seek out other survivors — and maybe find a way to beat the aliens once and for all.
A Quiet Place Part II will stream on Hulu on July 12.
Director Ryan Cooglerand actor Michael B. Jordan scored a huge hit this year with Sinners, but they’ve been successful since the first film they made together, 2014’s Fruitvale Station. The autobiographical drama chronicles the last day of Oscar Grant III, an Oakland resident who was shot and killed by police on January 1, 2009. The movie starts with Oscar having a fight with his girlfriend and then follows him as he applies for a job, attends a birthday party and then becomes involved in a fight on a BART train that leads to his murder by two policemen.
What makes Fruitvale Station so effective is how simple, straightforward and unfussy it is. By placing the audience in Oscar’s shoes for a day, Coogler eschews sensationalism for naturalism and allows viewers to relate to Oscar’s everyday problems. That’s what makes his death all the more shocking — and tragic.
Among the nominees for Best Animated Feature at this year’s Academy Awards were the box-office hits Inside Out 2 and The Wild Robot, the indie hit Flow and this under-the-radar stop-motion picture from Australia.
Even though it’s animated, it’s definitely not for kids, as it tells a very tragic story about twin siblings, Grace (voiced by Sarah Snook) and Gilbert (Kodi Smit-McPhee), who are separated when their father dies. As they mature into adults, they hope to one day reunite and live together, but dramatic events such as a forbidden relationship and an abusive foster family keep preventing that from happening.
Memoir of a Snail isn’t for everyone, but if you dig weird animated tales with Dickensian characters, strange visuals and non-traditional narratives, Memoir of a Snail should be in your Hulu queue in July.
Summer may bring the heat, but it’s also turning out to be vampire season on the major streaming services.
The 2025 hit movie Sinners is set to make its streaming debut on HBO and Max barely a few weeks after it left theaters.
That film was an easy choice to make when the Watch With Us team selected the three great horror movies you should watch in July.
Our remaining choices include another major vampire movie that has moved to a new streaming home, as well as an underrated werewolf flick that’s heading to Netflix in a few weeks.
Sinners was the first blockbuster horror movie of 2025, and it seems likely to be the genre’s highest-grossing movie for the entire year. Director Ryan Coogler re-teamed with his constant collaborator, Michael B. Jordan, for one of the best modern vampire movies.
Jordan plays twin brothers Elijah “Smoke” Moore and Elias “Stack” Moore, a duo who want to leave the demons of World War I behind them, as well as their time working for gangsters since the war. When the Moore brothers return to their hometown to open up a juke joint, vampires begin preying on the Black community. And one of the vampires, Mary (Hailee Steinfeld), used to be Stack’s lover.
Stephen King‘s It star Bill Skarsgård adds another iconic monster performance to his resume as Count Orlok in the modern remake of Nosferatu. The original silent film from 1922 was a shameless ripoff of Bram Stoker‘s Dracula. Rather than run away from those comparisons, writer and director Robert Eggers doubles down on the connections and makes Orlock the antithesis of Dracula.
Ellen Hutter (Lily-Rose Depp) unwittingly allowed Orlock to psychically connect with her mind when she was a child. When she becomes an adult, Orlock intends to claim Ellen once and for all. First, Orlock torments Ellen’s husband, Thomas Hutter (Nicholas Hoult), a real estate agent who unknowingly takes his life in his own hands when he is summoned to meet Orlock at his isolated castle. And the count simply won’t let him leave without a fright.
Writer and director Sean Ellis puts a fresh spin on some old werewolf tropes in The Cursed. In the late 19th century, land baron Seamus Laurent (Alistair Petrie) brutally wipes out a Romani clan over a land dispute. But not before the Romani unleash a curse that will have dire consequences for Seamus’ children, Edward (Max Mackintosh) and Charlotte (Amelia Crouch).
Police investigator John McBride (A Complete Unknown‘s Boyd Holbrook) arrives in town after the people are plagued by inhuman beasts. John has first-hand experience with this curse, and he knows what it will take to end the rampage. One sacrifice won’t be enough.
In an excerpt from her upcoming memoir, My Good Side, published by Entertainment Weekly on Wednesday, July 2, Shay maintains that she wasn’t aware Cibrian was married when they began seeing each other. (Cibrian also had an affair with now-wife LeAnn Rimes while married to Glanville, 52, with whom he shares sons Mason, 22, and Jake, 18.)
Shay recalls meeting Cibrian after completing college and moving to Los Angeles at the age of 21. She writes that she had aspirations of “making a name for myself in the entertainment industry, whether that was as an actress, a TV host, or a news reporter,” and landed a job at a cigar lounge frequented by some of Hollywood’s biggest names.
It was there that Shay “first laid eyes on” the actor. “If you were to ask me when I was growing up what my exact type was, to a tee it was Eddie — tall, dark, and handsome, with dimples. The second we made eye contact, he smiled at me with those dimples, and I melted,” she writes. “How could I not? He’s undeniably a gorgeous human. Our relationship wasn’t romantic from the jump, though the writing was on the wall from day one.”
The “Scheananigans” podcast host says she and Cibrian began a “physical relationship” toward the end of 2006; however, they were not exclusively dating.
“Of course, I’ve been asked a zillion times how I didn’t realize he was married. Why would I have thought he was?” she writes. “He never wore a wedding ring, so I assumed he was single. … This was pre–social media, so it wasn’t like he was posting pics of his family in matching pajamas in front of a Christmas tree.”
According to Shay, at the time, she didn’t have an internet browser on her cellphone and didn’t own a laptop, so she would check her email at an internet cafe. “I wasn’t concerned with Googling this hot guy who said he was an actor in L.A.,” she notes.
Shay says that while she thought about a future with Cibrian, she wasn’t ready to settle down at 21 and began dating Desperate Housewives actor Jesse Metcalfe. That romance, she writes, fizzled out by the summer of 2007, and she “fell right back into regularly hanging with Eddie,” though this time their relationship was more than just physical.
Shay writes that “Eddie came to help me and met most of my friends and even my mother. His best friend also joined us with his son, who was a toddler at the time. We were literally intertwining our families and the people closest to us.”
However, she recalls that she never went to Cibrian’s house — he always stayed at hers. “Did I think it was weird that I never went to his house? No! He lived in Calabasas, supposedly. And I certainly wasn’t making the trek to Calabasas in 2007, when Ubers didn’t exist, and I had less than $1,000 to my name,” she writes. “It was so much easier and more fun to hang out in Beverly Hills or Hollywood, and my place was closer and more convenient.”
At the time, Shay says, “I didn’t see a single red flag, especially since we weren’t exclusive.”
Eventually, Shay writes that a colleague at the cigar lounge informed her that Cibrian was married. “I didn’t believe it (or maybe I didn’t want to believe it) because I was wild about Eddie,” she admits.
Shay says she confronted Cibrian, and he allegedly responded, “No, that’s insane. Why would you ask me that?”
“It was gaslighting in its most basic form,” she writes, noting that “I trusted him, so we continued hanging out.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Cibrian’s representative for comment.
Journalist Touré did not mince words during his appearance in an ABC News Studios special that aired hours after a verdict was reached in the trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs.
On Wednesday, July 2, Diddy, 55, was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted on charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison.
“It’s, like, so far beyond the line,” Touré remarked in Wednesday’s Verdict: The Diddy Trial. “You’re talking about a bored billionaire sex addict who’s like, ‘What weirdo sex thing can we do? Oh, I don’t know! Get Anton to come here to Turks and Caicos.’”
The writer added: “You can’t do that! You can’t fly sex workers around the country. And [they were] doing it over and over and over.”
The 12-person jury, consisting of eight men and four women, reached their split verdict after less than three days of deliberations. Diddy pleaded not guilty to all charges against him following his September 2024 arrest in New York City.
Multiple people, including Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Cassie, accused him of sexual assault and sex trafficking. The disgraced music mogul denied all of the allegations against him.
The trial centered on claims made by Cassie, 38, and an unnamed Jane Doe. Assistant U.S. Attorney Emily Johnson stated in the prosecution’s opening statement that some of the allegations against Diddy might “be hard to hear,” as they referenced sexual assault, domestic violence and kidnapping.
Over seven weeks of testimony, the jury heard from witnesses including Cassie, Kid Cudi and Danity Kane member Dawn Richard.
In closing arguments, Diddy’s defense team claimed that his infamous “freak offs” were not criminal but rather an expression of his sexual proclivities. They also argued that his drug use was personal and not a criminal offense.
As for the racketeering charge, the rapper’s attorney Marc Agnifilo argued there was “a gaping lack of evidence when it comes to the racketeering conspiracy acts. If you find that you’re in the weeds of this great complexity, maybe that’s because it’s just not there.”
Making her closing argument to jurors, prosecutor Maurene Comey stated: “For 20 years, the defendant got away with his crimes. Today it ends in this courtroom. He is not a god, he is a person. Find him guilty.”
Judge Arun Subramanian ruled after the verdict that Diddy should remain in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn as he awaits his October 3 sentencing.
Diddy’s defense is seeking a prison sentence of 21 to 27 months, while prosecutors have requested a sentence of 51 to 63 months. Diddy will also get credit for the time he’s already served since his arrest last year.
“I’m floored by the jury’s verdict,” Aubrey O’Day, a singer who was signed by Diddy’s Bad Boy Records, told Inside Edition on Wednesday. “The evidence is there. For me, it’s all the way there. I feel that there’s going to be an instinct for people to want to suggest that the prosecution overcharged, overreached, didn’t do enough.”

If you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence, please call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 for confidential support.

Peck’s pal and former Nickelodeon costarDrake Bell dropped a tearful emoji in the comments section of the post, while Southern Charm star Craig Conover wrote, “Great name . Congratulations you two .”
Meanwhile, Bob Saget‘s widow, Kelly Rizzo, gushed, “Omg hi Meyer!!! you’re the cutest and you have the best mama there is! (And OMG Paige LOVE the name!). CONGRATULATIONS .”
Peck and O’Brien tied the knot in Malibu in June 2017, celebrating their nuptials with family members and friends, including John Stamos. They welcomed their first child, Max, 6, in December 2018 and their second son, Shai, 2, in October 2022.
In February, Peck announced that they were expecting baby No. 3.
He shared the news via Instagram, posting a black-and-white pic in which he lovingly touched O’Brien’s baby bump.
“I finally get a minivan. #3,” he joked at the time.
Peck and O’Brien discussed their parenting dynamic in a 2023 interview with People.
“Josh is really hands-on and really helpful, which I’m very thankful for, and he and Max have kind of a very similar energy to them,” O’Brien said. “For me, I’m definitely a little bit more relaxed and calm. I think it’s just a good balance of our different strengths.”
O’Brien, a cinematographer, marveled at how Max, then 4 years old, was progressing into a young reader.
“So now at night, when we’re reading books, he’s reading them to me instead of me reading them to him, which is a wild thing,” she shared. “He’s really gotten into puzzles lately. His mind is always working. And Shai just rolled over today for the first time, so that’s where we are.”
Peck added: “And physically, Shai looks really good in stripes this month. Those fashion milestones are really nice.”
Zac Affleck paid tribute to wife Jen Affleck after her “intense” experience giving birth without the use of pain medication.
Zac, 28, took to Instagram on Wednesday, July 2, and reflected on the birth of their third child, Penelope.
“Before I flood your feed with endless photos of our perfect baby girl, I have to do a dedicated post to Jen,” he captioned his post. “Our doula told her, ‘You have to go to the stars to bring this baby back.’ I don’t think either of us anticipated how intense natural birth would actually be.”
He continued, “It was a spiritual experience mixed with every emotion possible — one of the most bonding experiences we have ever had. It gave me a completely new level of appreciation and love for my wife I didn’t know was possible.”
Zac said he’s “genuinely speechless at how amazing women are, what their bodies go through, and what they are capable of. I love you, Jen, and am so grateful for you bringing our beautiful children into this world.”
Besides writing that heartfelt caption, he also revealed some behind-the-scenes photos of the labor process in which he comforted Jen, 26, while she experienced painful contractions.
“Over here crying. ,” a fan wrote in the comment section of Zac’s post. “these are the SWEETEST photos. A supportive and loving birthing partner means more than men truly know. Congrats! These are beautiful .”
Zac and Jen both appear on the Hulu reality series The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. They tied the knot in June 2019 and welcomed daughter Nora in November 2021 and son Lucas in July 2023.
In February, the pair announced that they were expecting baby No. 3.
Jen announced Penelope’s arrival via Instagram earlier Wednesday, writing, “Going unmedicated was truly the most painful but empowering experience of my life. I could not have done it without Zac and my supportive doula! I’m so grateful and so happy that Penny is earth side now.”
Zac and Jen’s marital woes were a major story line on the first season of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, which premiered last fall. Zac received backlash for the way he treated his wife.
“I definitely think it was the best thing to happen to our relationship.” she exclusively told Us Weekly in September 2024. “While watching the show, a lot of people are going to think maybe this would break our relationship apart. But if anything, it did the opposite. Being on camera and having those moments happen made us take a step back and actually look at a relationship and make us just see what we have to change.”

Alix Earle “immediately regretted” her decision to get veneers.
The influencer, 24, got real about her faux teeth in a Wednesday, July 2, TikTok video that explained why she did not acknowledge the cosmetic treatment after graduating college.
“I never wanted to post about it, “ she explained, “because I immediately felt like I regretted it. And I never want to, like, influence people to do something that I don’t think they should do.”
Earle added that she never had braces growing up and wore Invisalign devices to straighten her teeth during her senior year of high school. However, she recalled the treatment causing two of her front teeth to appear “shorter” than the rest. “So I did composite bonding,” she said, which added length to the teeth but also made them fragile.
“So, like I’m an anxious person, and sometimes if I have a bad dream, I’ll bite my teeth in my sleep — and they would, like, crack off,” she explained. “It happened a lot, honestly.”
In Earle’s senior year of college, she grew a large TikTok following and decided that it would be a good time to get veneers. She had wanted only two — to fix those problem teeth — but a dentist persuaded her to get 10.
“I don’t know, honestly, kind of emotional for me,” she admitted while holding back tears, recalling that she followed the dentist’s advice and “really regretted it, like, right away. And I think it was really scary for me, and I was like, ‘What did I just do?’ And I had such good teeth and, I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I have to keep up with this for the rest of my life.’”
Earle said her veneers look “really similar to my normal teeth, so I’m like, ‘Why did I even do that in the first place?’”
She confessed, “I will say I don’t regret a lot, but it is something I really regret doing. At the end of the day, whatever. It was my decision, but I feel like it was kind of one of those decisions that was made pretty fast. And I just didn’t think it all the way through or, I think, talk to enough people.”
Earle also revealed that she recently cracked a tooth while talking to Kate Hudson at a social event on the Ritz-Carlton cruise line. She was sipping a margarita out of a straw when the accident happened.
Earle remembered Hudson, 46, being “so, so sweet” about the mishap, adding, “Thank God for her because otherwise I would’ve been alone, crying about my tooth.”
In the TikTok, Earle showed herself filing down the tooth to make it smoother.
The internet personality rose to fame through the platform in 2022. Us Weekly exclusively confirmed last month that she has a reality show in the works that will feature her and her relatives. “It will explore Alix traveling around the world for work and her family dynamic,” a source told Us.
Jurassic World Rebirth could be setting up an entirely new chapter for the iconic franchise.
The film, which hit theaters on Wednesday, July 2, takes place five years after the events of 2022’s Jurassic World Dominion. Scarlett Johansson stars as Zora Bennett, a cover operations specialist who is contracted to lead a secret mission to obtain life-saving genetic material from the three biggest living creatures on earth (that are, you guessed it, dinosaurs). The mission ends up even more complicated than expected when she and her team encounter the Delgado’s, a civilian family who have been stranded on the island of dinosaur rejects.
The other main players in Zora’s squad? Mahershala Ali’s’ Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s old friend looking for a new sense of purpose, and Jonathan Bailey’sDr. Henry Loomis, a paleontologist and former student of the legendary Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill). Rupert Friend also makes the journey as Martin Krebs, a rep for pharmaceutical giant ParkerGenix looking to cure heart disease with the help of dino-DNA.
Screenwriter David Koepp, who penned the original Jurassic Park screenplay — as well as 1997’s The Lost World: Jurassic Park — returned to write the script for Rebirth after previously declining to write the first Jurassic World film.
No, there are no post credits scenes in the film. But you should still stay until all the credits roll. It’s proper etiquette!
Does ‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ Set Up for a Sequel?
Rebirth does not directly set up for a sequel and could potentially stand on its own, but there are a few hints that another movie is on its way. All three leads — Johansson, Bailey and Ali — survive the film. Johansson’s Zora also reveals her plans to open-source the DNA samples her team has acquired from three dinos (one by land, one by sea, one by sky) to “everyone.” Anyone who has ever seen a Jurassic movie can immediately understand how this (terrible) decision could set up the next film’s main disaster.
Not anyone important, really, which is good news. Zora, Henry and Duncan all make it out alive (somehow), as does the second major group of the film, the Delgado family (Manuel Garcia-Rulfo,Luna Blaise, Audrina Miranda and David Iacono.)
However, while Zora makes it to the end, some of her supporting team is not so lucky. Bobby (Ed Skrein) faces death by boat trip, Nina (Philippine Velge) loses her fight to a Spinosaurus on the beach and Leclerc (Bechir Sylvain) gets swallowed whole.
Don’t worry, bad guys die too. Mr. Krebs gets so brutally chomped by the D-rex (a.k.a Diabolus Rex, a monstrously genetically altered dino of your nightmares) after turning on our group of heros, only his arm is left behind. Luckily, it’s the arm that was holding the briefcase filled with DNA!

During the Wednesday, July 2, episode of the Bravo series, the reality star expressed remorse for throwing a drink on Guerdy Abraira during a heated conversation at Marysol Patton’s wedding celebration.
“Guerdy, I just want to apologize for throwing water,” Julia, 53, said while reading a text message she sent her costar. “I’m coming to you with an open heart. I want to clear the air and resolve any conflict between us as soon as possible.”
Cameras briefly captured Julia’s entire text message, which showed her desire to move forward in a more peaceful manner.
Although Russell was not present at the event, he was disappointed that other costars and supposed friends didn’t show more support for his wife.
“It’s amazing to me that not one of them had the common sense to be like, ‘This might not be a good idea. This woman is coming out of recovery,’” he said.
In September 2023, Guerdy completed her last round of chemotherapy. She later confirmed to Us Weekly that she is cancer-free after being diagnosed with breast cancer.
“I am actually sick to my stomach just thinking about it because it was a physical, symbolic act to degrade me to a level as if I was nothing,” Guerdy said in her confessional when recalling Julia’s actions. “I’ve never felt that way before.”
As an olive branch, Julia asked costar Adriana de Moura to extend an invite to Guerdy for her baby shower. She ultimately didn’t show because she was out of town in New York.
“Thank you all so much for the support — truly. Your kindness doesn’t go unnoticed.” Guerdy wrote via Instagram on Friday, June 27. “I also want to give a special thank you to these ladies who checked in on me after episode 3 aired. It’s one thing to live through a situation. … It’s another thing entirely to watch it all back on screen. Whew.”
Guerdy thanked Adriana, 59, Lisa Hochstein, Stephanie Shojaee and Dr. Nicole Martin for checking in off camera and being good friends.
“Sometimes stepping back gives you a whole new perspective — on dynamics, on people,” she continued. “That said, I’m still standing, still growing and still grateful just to be healthy. My focus? Good vibes only. Keep watching as I continue to share my navigation through my ‘new normal’ post recovery and continue my mission in becoming GUERDY 2.0.”

The actor, 48, shared quotes from the late psychiatrist Carl Jungvia Instagram on Wednesday, July 2, one of which read, “Loneliness does not come from having no people about one, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to oneself.”
Other Jung phrases, which were first posted on the IG account Sapienkind, included: “Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol, morphine or idealism”; “People will do anything, no matter how absurd, to avoid facing their own souls”; “Thinking is difficult, that’s why most people judge”; and, “Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.”
Bloom’s quote carousel also contained Jung’s perspective on the human condition.
“About a third of my cases are suffering from no clinically definable neurosis, but from the senselessness and emptiness of their lives,” said the inventor of analytical psychology, who died in 1961. “This can be defined as the general neurosis of our times.”
The carousel concluded with Jung’s philosophy that “The healthy man does not torture others — generally it is the tortured who turn into torturers.” And, “We are not what happened to us, we are what we choose to become.”
This marks the latest motivational missive from Bloom amid his split from longtime partner Perry.
Earlier this week, The Lord of the Rings star took to Instagram and quoted a positive Buddhist mantra, writing, “Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters the most.”
Us Weekly confirmed last month that Bloom and Perry, 40, had called off their engagement after nearly 10 years together.
“Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,” a source close to the former couple exclusively told Us at the time. “It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.”
Perry and Bloom got engaged in 2019, and welcomed daughter Daisy Dove the following year. (Bloom also shares 14-year-old son Flynn with ex Miranda Kerr.)
According to the source, the couple’s breakup was “a long time coming” amid growing tension. They had been apart since Perry launched her Lifetimes tour earlier this year.
While Perry tours around the world, Bloom recently attended Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s star-studded Venetian nuptials.
“They are still very much in touch and coparenting Daisy together,” the insider told Us. “Orlando brought Daisy to meet Katy on tour before heading to the Bezos’ wedding. It’s not messy between them.”
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team held a press conference outside of court following the trial.
“I want to thank my client Sean Combs for trusting us. Myself and everybody here, this incredible dream team that he put together,” Teny Geragos said on Wednesday, July 2, outside the Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse in New York City. “Without him, we would not be able to do this. He is incredible, and I want to thank him.”
Geragos also expressed her gratitude to the jury for “putting such great care” into the case by showing up “early every single day.” She also thanked the judge and the staff at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where Diddy, 55, has been held following his September 2024 arrest after having bail rejected four times by Judge Arun Subramanian.
“Despite the terrible conditions at the MDC, I want to thank the good people who work there who ensured that we had a sufficient amount of time to prepare for trial,” she continued. “It is extremely difficult to prepare for a federal case in the conditions at the MDC, and they did everything they could to make that happen.”
Geragos finished up her remarks by maintaining Diddy’s innocence, which his team has done since taking his case.

“Sean Combs has not sexually assaulted anybody, I’ve been saying this for months,” she said. “We’ve said this with each lawsuit that came out, and today that was proven true.”
Nicole Westmoreland and Brian Steel echoed similar sentiments.
“I want to thank you all for being here and writing truthfully about a man wrongly tried for most of the crimes,” Steel said.
Westmoreland added that Diddy “battled for his freedom” and “for his innocence.”
The press conference ended with comments from Marc Agnifilo, who has been one of Diddy’s main attorneys.
“Today’s a great victory,” Agnifilo said. “It’s a great victory for Sean Combs, it’s a great victory for the jury system.”
He added, “We are not nearly done fighting. We are just getting started.”
Diddy was arrested in September 2024 and charged with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. The disgraced music mogul denied all the allegations against him and pleaded not guilty to all charges.
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Agnifilo said in a statement at the time. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Diddy’s trial began in May and, after weeks of testimony, came to an end on Wednesday. After days of deliberation, the jury acquitted Diddy on racketeering and sex trafficking charges. However, the rapper was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years total.
After the verdict was read, Agnifilo asked the judge for Diddy’s immediate release so he could return to his Miami Beach home on Star Island. The judge later ruled that Diddy should remain in custody while awaiting sentencing, which will be decided on October 3.

School Spirits’ season 2 finale left the future of Milo Manheim’s character up in the air — and the actor is weighing in on what the show may look like moving forward.
“I think the first season was kind of like, what happened [to these ghosts]?” Manheim, 24, explained exclusively to Us Weekly while promoting his upcoming film Zombies 4. “Second season it was like, ‘OK, we know what happened, now let’s solve this thing,’ and I think season 3 we’ll just zoom out even more. We’re just going to be like, ‘What the hell is going on?’”
School Spirits premiered on Paramount+ in 2021 and follows high school student Maddie (Peyton List) as she investigates her own mysterious disappearance and alleged death from the afterlife. While on a mission for answers, she discovers a group of teen ghosts haunting the hallways. That includes Manheim’s Wally, an ’80s ghost jock slash golden retriever-type who quickly falls head over heels for Maddie.
While the season 1 finale revealed that Maddie’s human body had been taken over by another spirit, she ended season 2 back in the human realm. Wally, meanwhile, appeared to find the door to peace, although it wasn’t revealed if he walked through.
While speaking with Us, Manheim teased that season 3 will attempt to “crack the code of what’s happening in this world [of Split River]” while answering questions from the previous season.
The show’s executive producers, meanwhile, previously shared that Manheim’s future as Wally was intentionally ambiguous — leaving fans reeling over the potential loss of a fan favorite character.
“We live [for] cliffhangers and to also devastate people!” cocreator Nate Trinrud joked to Us exclusively earlier this year. He also hinted at what Wally’s next chapter might mean for the series: “There’s a lot of questions that come along with that. Like, what does it mean to really lose somebody? But also, do you ever lose anybody?”
Trinrud added that Wally’s next steps are a “big question mark” that will be broached in season 3, noting that other characters have been able to walk the line of multiple realms. “Anything could happen,” he teased.
Manheim is certainly no stranger to playing the undead, as all three of his most recent three characters met their untimely end in one way or another. Manheim faces death by plant as Seymour in the current off Broadway production of Little Shop of Horrors, haunts the halls of his old high school as Wally on School Spirits and plays another football-loving jock, Zed — who also happens to be a zombie — in Disney’s Zombies franchise.
“I don’t know what it is, maybe it’s just because I’m so full of life that I need to be killed,” Manheim joked to Us. “This was never my plan, first of all, but maybe I’ve really tapped into a niche here that Hollywood is short on. But yeah, School Spirits and Zombies I’m a football-playing dead person with a girlfriend whose name kind of sounds like Addison. Madison is her name on [School Spirits].”
Fans will have to wait to see Manheim back as Wally for season 3 of School Spirits, but he’ll be back as Zed in Zombies 4: Dawn on the Vampires later this month. The film will pick up after Zed and Addison’s (Meg Donnelly) first year of college. When the two lovebirds head out for the road trip of a lifetime, they discover the warring words of Sunnyside and Shadyside — and two brand new groups of monsters.
The first Zombies film premiered in 2018 and has since spawned one of the most successful movie franchises for Disney to date (move over, High School Musical!). Manheim and Donnelly have reprised their role for each installment, including lending their voices for the re-animated series. Seven years in, Manheim has learned a lot about playing a leading man.
“I am equally excited now than when I was on Zombies 1, but the excitement then was just like an unreal, I can’t believe I’m here, what is my life? And I think I’ve changed because I’ve really grounded myself and really realized just the impact that we have made with these movies and this franchise,” he told Us. “I guess I’ve taken the reins a little bit. Really tried to put creative input in there and guide this franchise [in] the direction that I believe is important. So I think just stepping up to the plate is how I’ve changed the most.”
Zombies 4: Dawn on the Vampires premieres on Disney Channel Thursday, July 10, at 8 p.m. ET and will be available to stream on Disney+ the following day.
