If your New Year’s resolution for 2025 is to eat a little healthier, a juicer can help you get more fruits and veggies into your day — which is a great start. We’re not alone in loving fresh juice; celebs like Martha Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow are also devotees (Stewart swears by one daily!). After a season of spirited eggnog, cookies and pies, it’ll be a refreshing and welcome twist to your routine. Luckily, we spotted a juicer deal too good not to share, especially because it’s from one our favorite home brands.
Beautiful by Drew Barrymore has a cult following for its stylish, accessibly priced, small kitchen appliances and home decor. While juicers can be pricey, right now, there’s a deal on a bestselling juicer that is too good to pass up! It is normally priced at $79, but right now, the blue color option is just $38, and the white option is a few bucks more. At this price, you might even want to stash one or two for a future gift!
With a powerful 1,000-watt motor, this juicer has plenty of functionality and can juice citrus, vegetables, leafy greens, and more. It has a generous one-liter BPA-free juice jug, so you can make enough for everyone in your home. Even better, the detachable parts are dishwasher-safe, making clean-up a breeze. Plus, there’s nothing like the incredible taste of just-made fresh juice. Once you try it, you won’t want store-bought!
Shoppers are sold on this little machine. One happy review says, “I love everything about it! It’s juicers that cost so much more that you have to cut the fruit up first. This makes sure I get all my fruits and vegetables without the struggle! You don’t have to cut the fruit up into small pieces first. This is the best thing that I have purchased from Walmart, I must say because it’s helping me to better my life one day at a time!”
Another customer has similar five-star feedback, writing “This juicer has been a pleasant surprise. The last one I had was a pain in the butt to clean and this one is very easy. Almost all the components can go in the dishwasher if you want. It has a 1000w motor that has crushed everything I’ve tried, and is pretty much an affordable dupe to the Breville Fountain Elite juicer. That one is stainless steel but for $350, I decided to try Drew Barrymore’s version from her Beautiful line. Very impressed!! Now I may have to get more Beautiful appliances.”
Whether you want to try Martha Stewart’s daily green juice or experiment with mixed produce, there’s no limit to the combos you can try. Our go-to includes green apples, lemons, carrots and red beets! Juicing may become your superpower. Shop now while this incredible deal is live!

The holidays are a time for giving—and...
Yes, Powell has been in Hollywood for years, but nothing solidifies heartthrob status for an actor quite like wearing a white T-shirt while it rains or shotgunning a beer on stage with Luke Combs (a special thank you to the summer blockbuster Twisters for allowing Us to have both iconic moments.)
The actor famously made his onscreen debut in the 2003 movie Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over. From there he starred in some small, but notable roles, like Chad Radwell in the short-lived — but totally epic — series Scream Queens or the swoon worthy Charliein Netflix’s Set It Up. Fans can argue (and they will) that Powell’s breakout role came as Jake “Hangman” Seresin in 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick, but it wasn’t until this year that he became a true household name.
“That’s the funniest part about this moment,” Powell told The Hollywood Reporter in May when reflecting on his career. “I’ve worked really hard for a long time, putting things together and just trying to get them in shape enough for people to give a s—. Then you get to a place where people are just like, ‘Yeah, let’s do it,’ and suddenly you’re playing musical chairs with yourself. You’re like, ‘Wait, do I sit in all these chairs right now?’”
The Texas native will, no doubt, continue to sit anywhere he wants in Hollywood, especially as his star continue to rise. 2024 might have been his year but Powell is just getting started.
Keep scrolling for a breakdown why Us was obsessed with Powell this year:
Overall Sex Appeal
Glen Powell in ‘Twisters.’
Powell posed shirtless for Men’s Healthin November 2023, and we definitely thought it couldn’t get better than that — until Hit Man was released on Netflix. The streaming service turned up the heat as summer was starting with Powell’s onscreen sex montage with costar Adria Arjona.
Two months later, Powell put on his cowboy hat and proved their ain’t no love in Oklahoma, unless you’re starring alongside Daisy Edgar-Jones in a movie about tornados. Twisters put Powell’s sex appeal on full display, and this time, the actor kept his shirt on the entire time. He’s just a real movie star and that’s all Us has to say about that.
Life as a Dog Dad
Glen Powell.
If Powell’s looks aren’t good enough, his old terrier poodle mix named Brisket (@hotbrisket on Instagram) might seal the deal. While filming Twisters, the actor adopted his now-famous pup who has even gotten his own magazine cover. Vogue became “Dogue” this past August and Brisket was, of course, featured.
“Brisket’s best quality, I would say, is his ability to snuggle,” Powell gushed of his pup. “If there’s any shape on your body that is remotely cuddle-able, he will figure it out, whether it’s the top of your head, neck, hips, or feet. He is just built for snuggles.”
Anyone familiar with Powell’s social media footprint knows Brisket is built for thirst traps too.
No. 1 Son
Glen Powell (R) and his parents Cyndy Powell (C) and Glen Powell, Sr. (L).
Powell has attempted to put his parents, Cyndy and Glen Sr., in every one of his projects and 2024 was no different. They returned to the big screen for this year’s Twisters — Powell’s big blockbuster hit of the summer — as a couple sitting behind Powell and costar Daisy Edgar-Jones during a rodeo sequence.
“They have some very good screen time, and they’re in the cowboy hats and the boots and the whole get-up,” Powell told Us in July. “They look great. I mean, obviously, they’re from Texas. So, they should look very comfortable in that look, but they nailed it.”
In addition to their endless cameos, Cyndy and Glen Sr. have also been known to show up and support Glen whenever possible — and often show fans exactly where Powell gets his sense of humor. At the May premiere of his Netflix film Hit Man, the duo hilariously followed the actor around with huge signs that read, “Stop trying to make Glen Powell happen” and “It’s never gonna happen.”
“I think that’s maybe the greatest gift that my parents gave me is never, never making me sit in things I didn’t want to sit in and letting me chase the passions I wanted to chase no matter what,” Powell told Us of his parents supporting his career over the years. “When I discovered movies, that’s all I wanted to do. And it didn’t matter the schedule. I would, like, wake up thinking about it and I wake up talking about it. So I just am really grateful for my parents for not trying to deter me from a job that has such a low success rate, which I think a lot of parents do.”
Showing love and appreciation for your — very cool — parents no matter how famous you get? Totally sexy.
Costar Chemistry
Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney, Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar Jones.
Powell told Entertainment Weekly in June that when it comes to on screen chemistry, “It either is or isn’t. There’s no way to force it.” And while that might be true, Powell seemingly hasn’t met a costar he doesn’t have “it” with in spades.
From his time on Scream Queens with Nick Jonas to his rom-com Anyone But You with Sydney Sweeney, Powell has always sizzled on screen with his costars — but the sparks he created in 2024 with Twisters and Hit Man leading ladies Edgar-Jones and Arjona were maybe the most intense of all.
“The basis of it is, ‘Oh we could spend four hours together and not shut up. This is somebody that I feel incredibly comfortable with,’” Arjona told Netflix about her instant rapport with Powell. “And once you feel comfortable with someone there’s a layer of trust and respect. You free yourself and you allow that, kind of, chemistry to live.”
We love that Powell can create chemistry with anyone or anything — some would even argue he has it with storms — but it’s knowing his costars feel safe and respected on set that make him the ultimate green flag.
Lookalike Madness
Glen Powell.
Celebrity look alike contests became all the rage in 2024, with some stars — like Timothée Chalamet — showing up to the event to lend their support. While Powell was unable to appear in person when his own look alike contest was held in Austin, Texas, he was sure to send mom Cyndy to help judge in his place — and even popped up in a video to offer his winning doppelganger a special prize.
“Look, I know there is some cash and a hat at stake here, but I just want to say that the winner of today’s contest gets a personal prize from me,” Powell said in the video. “Now you may know that my parents make a cameo in every movie I make, but today, the winner of the Glen Powell lookalike contest wins their parents, or any family member of their choice, a cameo in my next movie. I am completely serious.”
That down to earth aura is exactly what makes Powell so endearing. If you ask Us, he’s everything a true movie star should be.
While some spend Christmas Day at home around the tree, many people head straight to the movie theater. Luckily, whether you need a family-friendly flick or want to get ahead on your awards season viewings, there are plenty of films to watch in cinemas on December 25.
New Movies in Theaters on Christmas Day 2024
Kid-friendly options were released earlier (more on those later), so the Christmas Day release list largely consists of R-rated flicks starring major A-Listers.
Babygirl(R) – Nicole Kidman plays a businesswoman who seemingly has it all with a husband (Antonio Banderas), two kids at home while she acts as CEO of her tech company. However, she puts everything on the line when she indulges her submissive fantasies and has an affair with her young intern (Harris Dickinson). Kidman scored a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in the erotic thriller.
A Complete Unknown (R) – Timothée Chalamet plays 19-year-old Bob Dylan as he arrives in New York City and begins his meteoric rise to fame. Edward Norton, Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro also star in this biopic, which is up for three Golden Globes.
Nosferatu (R) – Realtor Thomas Hutter (Nicholas Hoult) is searching for a house for the wealthy Transylvanian Count Orlok (Bill Skarsgård) in this remake of the 1922 short film. Thomas learns that Orlok is a vampire, and he’s taken a liking to Thomas’ wife Ellen (Lily-Rose Depp). Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Emma Corrin and Willem Dafoe also star.
The Fire Inside(PG-13) – This biopic follows professional boxer Claressa “T-Rex” Shields (Ryan Destiny) as she trains for the 2012 Summer Olympics with coach Jason Crutchfield (Brian Tyree Henry). She becomes the first American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in the sport.
The Only New Christmas Movie in Theaters This Year
While some cinemas will bring beloved Christmas classics like Love Actually and The Grinch back to theaters, there is only one new holiday film on the big screen in 2024: Red One. After Santa Claus is kidnapped, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson plays an E.L.F. (Extremely Large and Formidable) operative who joins forces with a bounty hunter and perpetual naughty lister (played by Chris Evans) to track down St. Nick. Lucy Liu, J.K. Simmons, Bonnie Hunt and Kiernan Shipka also star in the flick, which is also available to stream on Prime Video.
There’s no time like Christmas vacation to catch up on your moviegoing — or to see Wicked for the third time. No judgement.
Mufasa: The Lion King (PG) – This prequel follows a young Mufasa as he befriends Taka, who fans better know as Scar. The photorealistic animated film has a star-studded cast that includes Aaron Pierre, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Seth Rogen, Billy Eichner, Tiffany Boone, Blue Ivy Carter and Beyoncé.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3(PG) – Sonic (voiced by Ben Schwartz), Knuckles (voiced by Keanu Reeves) and Tails (voiced by Colleen O’Shaughnessey) reunite to battle Shadow (voiced by Idris Elba) in this threequel. Jim Carrey also returns as Dr. Ivo Robotnik while Krysten Ritter, James Marsden, Shemar Moore and Tika Sumpter round out the live-action cast.
Kraven the Hunter (PG-13) – Aaron Taylor-Johnson stars as Marvel villain Nikolai Kravinoff in this origin story, which explains how his own father sets him on the road to vengeance. Ariana DeBose and Russell Crowe also star.
Queer (R) – Daniel Craig scored a Golden Globe nod for his role as an American veteran who dodges his drug charges by fleeing to Mexico City in the 1950s. He becomes infatuated with a handsome young fellow American (Drew Starkey), who shows the older man what he has been missing. The movie, based on William S. Burroughs‘ 1985 novella, has plenty of Oscar buzz.
Wicked (PG-13) – Let’s hold space for this epic origin story for The Wicked Witch of the West. Cynthia Erivo, Ariana Grande, Jonathan Bailey and Michelle Yeoh star in the blockbuster, which scored four Golden Globe nods and is expected to get more recognition throughout awards season.
Gladiator II (R) – Set 16 years after the death of Maximus in 2000’s Gladiator, the sequel follows Lucius (Paul Mescal), who watched his uncle kill Maximus. After his wife is killed, he is taken as a prisoner of war and forced to enter the Colosseum. He must not only battle his opponents but fight to bring real change to Rome. Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn and Denzel Washington also star.
Jason Kelce just made a playful nod to Taylor Swift — and her favorite number — on the latest episode of “New Heights.”
“It’s the holidays and our friends at Accelerator are hooking the holidays up. When you go to Accelerator.com and use code Pop1387 you can get a case of orange ice-pop for only $13.87,” Jason, 37, said during a sponsored segment on the Tuesday, December 24, episode of his and Travis Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast. “I wonder what the 13 is for?”
While Jason knows the 87 is a direct nod to Travis’ jersey number for the Kansas City Chiefs, the retired Eagles player couldn’t help but tease his little brother.
“It’s probably because it’s my favorite number, right?” Jason jokingly asked, while Travis, 35, haphazardly agreed before pointing out that “Friday the 13th was a few weeks ago,” which was Swift’s 35th birthday.
While Jason previously repped No. 13 during his youth sports days, Swifties know all too well that 13 holds a special place in Swift’s heart. In addition to being her birthdate, it’s been the pop star’s lucky number over the years and has been featured as an Easter Egg on multiple occasions.
Since Travis and Swift started dating in summer 2023, both Jason and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end have made not-so-subtle references to Swift and her lucky number on their podcast. The first time they mentioned No. 13, was when Travis and Jason traveled to London in June — the same time Swift was performing at Wembley Stadium — and recorded an episode from a bar that resembled Philadelphia. During the broadcast, the brothers enjoyed a beer that was brought out by a bar manager who donned a uniform bearing the No. 13 — and Travis noticed instantly.
“Jessi, are you wearing 13 as your lucky number?” he asked, which she confirmed.
Travis noted that he also “know[s] someone” with the same lucky number. Jason chimed in that 13 used to also be his favorite number and wore it when he played hockey as a kid.
“13 plus 87, I’m just sayin’, it works,” Travis teased before raising a glass with his brother.
In addition to Travis paying homage to his girlfriend’s favorite digit, she has also rocked 87 — especially when attending Chiefs games. Swift has donned jewelry, a Santa hat and even a puffer coat designed by Kristin Juszczyk with Travis’ number on it.
Reynolds, 48, posted a video on Tuesday, December 24, asking fans for donations to the SickKids Hospital. The actor also shared that he and Lively, 37, are “matching any donation” up to $500,000 before Christmas Eve comes to an end.
“This organization is a sanctuary for so many kids and their parents traversing the unimaginable,” Reynolds wrote, thanking director Bryan Rowland for helping with the holiday charity campaign commercial, which was released earlier this month.
Reynolds also gave a shout-out to Wonder Woman actress Lynda Carter, who is also in the advertisement, before praising his daughter’s hard work. “Thank you to my daughter for being such a good person despite your dad asking you to swear (for a good cause),” the Deadpool & Wolverine star shared.
The commercial, released on December 12, showed Reynolds and Inez reprising their respective roles as Deadpool and Kidpool to discuss the importance of raising money for the SickKids Hospital.
“Benevolence is thirsty work,” Reynolds said in character, noting that his next goal is to “eliminate” sick children.
Misunderstanding her dad’s statement, Inez as Kidpool responded: “Oh, dude, that’s so f—ed up.”
Reynolds’ Deadpool clarified, “No. We’re eliminating the sickness by encouraging people to donate.”
Inez made her first appearance as Kidpool in Deadpool & Wolverine, which premiered in July. (Reynolds and Lively also share daughters James, 9, Betty, 5, and son Olin, born in February 2023.)
“Only costar I argued with,” the actor shared via X, posting a photo of himself in costume next to Kidpool. “Most people think Kidpool is the dirtiest. But she’s also pretty good at backtalk and never taking out the trash. #DeadpoolAndWolverine.”
The majority of Reynolds and Lively’s family made an appearance in the movie. Olin played a character named Babypool and Lively stayed masked as Lady Deadpool. While Betty wasn’t on screen, she was credited as “Hugh Jackman Wrangler” in the film.
“They’re all kind of in love with Uncle Hughy over here, so that worked out pretty well,” Reynolds told Extra of his kids in July. “He got attacked by Betty backstage, who thinks she has claws, so she goes at him. I have to actually give her a little tiny time-out.”
“The cutest thing about watching was that Ellie was watching at the end of the movie and got blushed on the cheeks,” Kylie, 32, shared on the Tuesday, December 24, episode of the “New Heights” podcast. “She was so excited and the next day, she told me, ‘Mom, that cute boy who played the drums? Will you show me a picture of him?’”
After googling Sam from Love Actually — whose stepfather Daniel is played by Liam Neeson — Kylie found a photo of actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster that left their 3-year-old daughter “giggling.”
In addition to Ellie, Jason, 37, and Kylie are also parents to Wyatt, 5, and 22-month-old Bennett. They are expecting their fourth child in 2025.
When Travis Kelce laughed at the idea of his nieces watching Love Actually at such a young age, Kylie clarified that they didn’t watch every story line play out.
“They only saw the end,” she said with a laugh. “They almost saw the boobs but I warned Jason. He sped it up.”
Released in 2003, Love Actually features nine intertwined stories that examine the complexities of the one emotion that connects all individuals — love. Hugh Grant, Colin Firth, Emma Thompson, Keira Knightley and the late Alan Rickman are just some of the actors who make up the star-studded cast.
“I think it’s lovely,” Kylie said when sharing her review of the film. “It could be my ADHD that makes me like this movie so much because it’s a bunch of small stories in one big movie and it hops around a lot. That’s helpful for me.”
In comparison, Jason suggested it “might be the worst Christmas movie I’ve ever seen.”
“I don’t even know if it’s up for debate,” he added. “There was zero Christmas spirit.”
Travis, 35, added, “I didn’t feel Christmas at all during the movie. I enjoyed the movie, I just didn’t understand how much it really tied into Christmas.”
When Kylie suggested the movie was more about romance, Jason wasn’t buying it.
“Let me tell you,” he replied. “If Love Actually is about romance, I do not understand romance.”
Luckily, Jason won’t have much time to enjoy any movies on Christmas Day. Instead, the ESPN analyst will likely be watching his brother and the Kansas City Chiefs take on the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wednesday, December 25.
