A brand-new series heading to the "worldwide leader in sports" is all about setting the tempo.

Backed by A-list executive producers Ryan Reynolds, Serena Williams and Robin Roberts, an upcoming ESPN Original Series has been greenlit by the iconic network that centers on the WNBA team, the Toronto Tempo.

The four-episode series, cleverly dubbed Setting the Tempo, takes audiences inside the "exhilarating, high-stakes process of building a WNBA franchise from the ground up," according to an ESPN news release on Monday, June 15. It promises to capture the relentless race against the clock as the top-tier leadership evaluates talent, establishes a culture and lays the foundation for sustained success.

“As someone who has loved women’s basketball and had the privilege of being part of the WNBA’s story since the very beginning, this project feels incredibly special,” said Roberts, 65, in a statement. “The launch of the Toronto Tempo represents a defining moment for the league and for women’s sports in Canada. This series captures the passion, pressure and purpose behind building a franchise from the ground up, while shining a light on the women leading the way and shaping the future of the game.”

“With the incredible growth of the WNBA and women’s basketball, this is the perfect time to showcase the launch of Canada’s first WNBA franchise,” added Lindsay Rovegno, ESPN Originals vice president & executive producer, in a statement. "Setting the Tempo presents a rare opportunity for fans to see what it truly takes to build a successful organization, shining a spotlight on the female executives whose decisions and vision are laying the foundation for the future."

Williams, 44, is a principal owner of the Tempo, Canada’s first-ever WNBA team that is preparing for its inaugural season. With expectations soaring, national pride on the line, and the countdown to tip-off accelerating, Setting the Tempo promises to chronicle "the ambition, pressure, and purpose behind launching a franchise determined to make an immediate impact," according to ESPN.

Singer Ella Fitzgerald was known as "First Lady of Song", "Queen of Jazz", and "Lady Ella" over the course of her career. The improvisational genius and iconic singer was known for her tone, clarity, and athletic vocal ability as a singer. With a career spanning almost 60 years, Fitzgerald gave her last public performance in 1993, and she passed away three years later in 1996. She was 79 years old.

Fitzgerald was born in 1917 in Newport News, Virginia, Her parents were unmarried, and she and her sister moved with their mother to Yonkers with her mother's new boyfriend in the early 1920s.

She started school at the age of six and was an excellent student until the death of her mother in 1932. At that point Fitzgerald started struggling, skipping school, and even worked for a time for a Mafia-affiliated numbers runner. Her troubles led her to a period of homelessness and she was even placed in an asylum and reform school. She never spoke publicly about this time in her life.

In 1934 at the age of 17, Fitzgerald entered an amateur night at Harlem's Apollo Theater. Initially she had intended to dance, but she was intimidated by the competition around her and opted to sing instead performing "Judy" and "The Object of My Affection." This proved to be the right choice, as she won the competition giving her $25.

Following her win at the Apollo amateur night, Fitzgerald was introduced to the famous drummer and bandleader Chick Webb. After some convincing, he agreed to make her a featured vocalist for his ensemble, despite being "reluctant to sign her...because she was gawky and unkempt, a 'diamond in the rough.'" With Webb and his band, Fitzgerald rose to fame following her 1938 recording of "A-Tisket, A-Tasket." Webb passed in 1939, and Fitzgerald went on to lead the band for two more years under the name "Ella Fitzgerald and Her Famous Orchestra."

In the mid-1940s, Fitzgerald began working with manager Norman Granz who would go on to form Verve Records specifically for her. Prior to Verve, Fitzgerald had hits with Bill Kenny and the Ink Spots, Louis Jordan, and the Delta Rhythm Boys. Her partnership with Granz led to her iconic Songbookseries, where she recorded staple songs by the likes of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, and Gershwin.

The Songbook series would go on to be considered Fitzgerald's most notable work. Following her death in 1996 the New York Times wrote: "These albums were among the first pop records to devote such serious attention to individual songwriters, and they were instrumental in establishing the pop album as a vehicle for serious musical exploration."

Over the course of her career, Fitzgerald won 13 Grammy Awards and received the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 1967. In 1959 at the first awards ever, Fitzgerald became the first African-American woman to win. Fitzgerald also was the recipient of a Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Medal of Honor Award, a National Medal of Art, a Presidential Medal of Freedom, and an honorary doctorate from Yale.

Every year when summer rolls around, I like to pretend as if my home is actually a seaside cottage. (It isn't.) I draw inspiration from just about every feel-good Hallmark movie you can think of that takes place in some small and quaint coastal town. Now because I live smack dab in the middle of a major city, I can't exactly rely on an ocean breeze to cool off my space, but if I crank up the air conditioning and close my eyes, I can almost feel it.

What I can replicate, however, is the perfect cottage-style bed. I'm talking a medium-weight comforter or quilt that looks like something passed down through generations, featuring light, airy colors. And then, of course, a ton of throw pillows for added charm. It's the kind of bedding setup that looks so inviting after a long summer day.

Whether you fell head over heels for mythology when you were in school or, as a fan of astrology, you enjoy learning about the connections between our celestial bodies and ancient deities, it’s easy to be fascinated by Roman goddesses. From Vesta, the goddess of home and hearth, to Venus, the goddess of love, and Minerva, who oversees wisdom, the arts, and battle, and even Luna, the goddess of the moon for whom so many kiddos (and fur children!) have been named, each character’s vivid story makes it easy to see yourself in potentially more than one archetype. But there’s one Roman goddess you can’t help but relate to more than the others, based on your birth month.

The Roman Goddess Whose Energy Echoes Your Own, Based on Your Birth Month

Read on to learn which Roman goddess is your match, based on the month you were born.

January: Minerva

Born at the start of a new year, you claim either hardworking, disciplined Capricorn or futuristic, contrarian Aquarius as your sun sign. What the earth sign and air sign have in common is that they’re both ruled by Saturn, the taskmaster planet, which oversees commitment, reality checks, and boundaries. Minerva is the goddess of wisdom and strategic intelligence, as well as the patron of medicine, science, and skilled trades, all themes that echo your maturity, forward-thinking energy, and ability to be the grown-up in just about any room.

February: Urania 

You came into the world when the sun was moving through either inventive, quirky air sign Aquarius or poetic, mystical water sign Pisces, which means you’re potentially both a dreamer and a doer, a spiritualist and a scientist. This reflects the energy of a Muse in Roman mythology, Urania, who oversees astronomy and science. Celebrating your birthday in one of the deepest winter months, you know that there’s much more than what meets the eye—under ground and in the sky above—and that knowledge and ability to trust your intuition and imagination reflects Urania’s terrain.

March: Aurora

Born when the sun was moving through either dreamy, spiritual-minded Pisces or action-oriented, first sign of the zodiacAries, the goddess of the dawn best matches your imaginative, go-getter, initiative-taking energy. In Roman mythology, Aurora would fly across the sky every morning in a chariot to announce the arrival of the Sun and the beginning of a new day. Your birth month also plays host to the Spring Equinox, a time when we welcome a season that brings more light, which echoes the themes that surround Aurora. 

April: Juno

You made your entrance into the world when the sun was taking a trip through either fiery, passionate Aries or grounded, tactile, sensual Taurus, which means you’re highly focused on your goals and pursuing them. As the queen of the gods, Juno, who would stop at nothing to achieve her aspirations, matches your energy. Aries is ruled by Mars, the God of War (who also happened to be one of Juno’s sons), and Juno often waged war strategically and politically, which you can certainly relate to if you have Aries influence. And she also happened to be the goddess of marriage, women, and childbirth, which you may also find you’re a champion of if you’re more of a Venus-ruled Taurus. 

RELATE?: These 4 Birth Months Are Destined for Abundance

May: Suadela

Whether you were born when the sun was moving through practical, grounded, steadfast earth sign Taurus or bubbly, curious, supercommunicator air sign Gemini, you’re capable of engaging others with your commitment to building relationships, especially through compelling conversation—or potentially also truly talented flirtation. Suadela, the goddess of persuasion, mirrors that strength. Known to be close friends with Venus, she was especially charming when it came to romance, seduction, and love, and she was occasionally referred to as one of the Graces. 

June: Luna

The sun was in either super-social air sign Gemini or emotionally astute, caregiving water sign Cancer when you were born, which means your heartfelt bonds are a top priority, and you’re also highly intuitive. Luna, the Roman goddess of the moon, is associated with nocturnal magic, mysteries, and secrets, as well as the power to grant fertility and help with childbirth. All of these themes reflect your own powers as someone who is in tune with their inner voice, cares deeply for others, and, let’s be honest, also can’t help but be a bit ethereal.  

July: Diana

Born when the sun was in either beautifully family-oriented, nurturing water sign Cancer or charismatic, theatrical fire sign Leo, you’ll go to great lengths to defend your loved ones, fight for what you believe in, and care for others. Diana, the Roman goddess of fertility, wild animals, the countryside, and hunters, who also looked after women in childbirth, mirrors your protective, heartfelt, bold spirit. Diana’s job was to bring the moon out every night, and that lunar influence echoes your rulership, if you’re more of a Cancer, and let’s not forget that the moon is illuminated by the sun, which rules Leo.

BEAUTY: Every Birth Date Matches a Classic Supermodel—Find Your Match

August: Ceres

Whether you were born under deeply loyal, passionate fire sign Leo or cerebral, thoughtful, earth goddess-y Virgo, you believe in caring for others with all of your heart. This echoes the story of Ceres, who was the Roman equivalent of Greek goddess Demeter, and who ruled agriculture, fertility, and motherhood and was also considered the protector of the plebeian class. Her happiness was tied to a healthy harvest. Similarly, when you’re feeling seen, connected, and able to show up for the ones you love, you’re at your most vital and content.

September: Venus 

You were born under either service-oriented, intuitive, romantic earth sign Virgo or beauty-loving, balance-seeking air sign Libra, which means you embody the energy of one of the most well-known Roman goddesses: Venus, who oversees beauty, values, femininity, and love. Whether you’re more practical and Virgoan or airy and Libran, you care deeply about bringing harmony into your relationships and forging a pleasurable, fulfilling connection with someone special—ideally, on a level that feels like a fairy tale—which calls to mind Venus’s whole vibe. 

October: Salacia

The sun moved through partnership-oriented, balance-loving air sign Libra and intimacy-seeking, magnetic water sign Scorpio during the month you came into the world. You might be secretive, if you’re especially influenced by Scorpio, and interested in going to great lengths to maintain peace and beauty, if you’re more shaped by Libra, and both of these traits are mirrored by Salacia. A sea nymph who initially hid from Neptune, the God of the Sea, because she was awestruck by him, ended up marrying the King of the Deep. Salacia presided over the ocean, becoming the personification of tranquil, sunny seas. 

November: Abeona

Whether you were born under the powerful, fearless water sign Scorpio or jovial, wanderlust-fueled fire sign Sagittarius, you’re invested in broadening your horizons either literally or through emotionally transformative experiences. If you’re more influenced by Scorpio, you might be especially family-oriented, and if you’re more of a Sagittarius, a burning desire to globetrot runs through your veins. In turn, Abeona, the Roman goddess of outward journeys, speaks to your soul. As the deity who watched over a child’s first steps away from home and protects travelers, her protective and pioneering energy matches your own. 

FUN!: Your Signature Cocktail, Based on Your Birth Month

December: Epona

Born with your sun in either adventurous Sagittarius, symbolized by a centaur, or hardworking, serious Capricorn, symbolized by the Sea Goat, you don’t mind venturing out into the world to make your boldest vision a reality. In turn, your personality matches the Roman goddess of horses, ponies, and fertility. Often depicted with ears of grain and a cornucopia, her earthiness and power is Capricornian, and her association with sovereignty as well as freedom and travel feels quite Sagittarian.

American rock band .38 Specialreleased "Hold on Loosely" in the early '80s, which became one of the biggest and most enduring hits of their careers. Inspired by trouble in Don Barnes's marriage, the track became a hard rock hit about relationships.

Created alongside Survivor's Jim Peterik, "Hold On Loosely" soon defined a new era of music for the band. The track was released as the lead single of their studio album Wild-Eyed Souther Boys in 1981. It peaked at No. 27 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and became an even bigger success on the radio. It landed at No. 3 on the Billboard Rock Tracks chart. Receiving heavy MTV rotation, it became a crossover hit for .38 Special.

The inspiration behind the track has often been talked about by Barnes, with him detailing that it was based on his marriage at the time. Some reports claim that he lamented his wife not being more supportive of his career. In an interview with Decades TV Network, he recalls his wife wanting to "criticize" him and "keep me under her thumb and I was trying to be somebody. Trying to rise up."

His real-life problems soon inspired the seed for "Hold on Loosely" and spoke about it to Peterik, saying, "What is it about people that can't seem to celebrate their differences and support each other? Give each other space to breathe and, you know, be themselves."

The singer adds that he had a notebook open and asked Peterik what he thought of the title "Hold on Loosely," with Peterik immediately chiming in, "but don't let go." Barnes called it the "perfect couplet," and they were "off to the races" to develop the track.

According to SongFacts, Peterik also felt a connection to Don's idea based on his own experience with his wife.

"My wife of 32 years now, this is what broke us apart when we were teenagers - I was getting too close. I was getting too serious for her. She didn't say, 'Hold on Loosely,' but that's what was in her heart. So when Don said 'Hold on Loosely,' I immediately knew what he was talking about. He wasn't even talking about that exactly, he told me later, he just thought it was a cool title," he said.

Decades after "Hold on Loosely" was released, Barnes still calls in an anthemic song that has remained a staple for fans and the band. He calls it the "cherry on top" of all the hits .38 Special has released over the years.

Lauren Sánchez Bezos does not do low-key, and her latest Paris outing proved it once more.

Stepping out this weekend, she turned heads in an airy sky-blue dress made for the city's warm weather, but the real flex was hidden on the label. The airy design came straight from Christian Dior's Spring/Summer 2001 collection by John Galliano, a rare archival find. It featured a crochet-style construction in soft sky-blue, delicate spaghetti straps, a plunging neckline and metallic chainmail accents shimmering across the bodice and skirt.

A Vintage Dior Moment

Sánchez Bezos, 56, was photographed leaving her hotel before an evening out with husband Jeff Bezos at the Grand Palais. A micro minidress underneath contrasted with a flowing layer that fell below the knees, an avant-garde Galliano silhouette that still reads modern more than two decades later. Archival Dior like this has become a coveted get among collectors and celebrity stylists, and she has built a reputation for tracking it down.

All in the Details

She kept the theme going with her accessories, swapping a typical evening bag for Chanel's Ice Cube Minaudière, a novelty clutch first shown in Karl Lagerfeld's Fall/Winter 2010 collection. Its silver hardware echoed the chainmail on the dress. Oversized diamond studs, her engagement ring, black sunglasses and pale-pink pumps finished the look, along with a glossy pink manicure and a high, loosely waved ponytail.

The outing landed just ahead of Men's Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2027. It is the latest in a fashion run that has only intensified since her star-studded Venice wedding to Bezos last summer. She co-chaired the 2026 Met Gala alongside Nicole Kidman this spring, and she has spent the months since pulling rare archival pieces, from Galliano-era Dior to vintage Chanel, that keep her firmly in the style conversation. If the weekend was any hint, she is not planning to blend in.

Polly Draper may be turning 71 today, but for her biggest fans she will always be Thirtysomething. 

Born June 15, 1955, in Gary, Indiana, the future star was raised in Chicago, as well as Arlington and Palo Alto, California, as the daughter of high-achieving parents (seriously, her mom was a Peace Corps administrator and her father CEO of the United Nations, per IMDb). She’s a middle child with two siblings, and as a highly sociable Gemini, she forged her own path, ultimately earning an MFA from the Yale School of Drama.

Following graduation, she started her acting career on the stage, performing in New York’s off-Broadway and regional theater productions, where she was awarded New York Magazine’s Best Broadway Actress Award for Four Dogs and a Bone. 

Transitioning to television in 1981, Draper appeared on the daytime soap opera Another World, with the guest spot leading to more opportunities before she landed her big break on the groundbreaking ABC drama created by Marshall Herskovitz and Edward Zwick, Thirtyomething. 

The defining portrait of Gen X followed a group of Philadelphia friends navigating adulthood, parenthood, and youthful idealism. It ran for four seasons, from 1987 to 1991, and won 13 Primetime Emmy Awards during its time, with one of those trophies going to Draper. 

As Ellyn Warren, the raspy-voiced childhood best friend of lead character Hope Steadman (Mel Harris), Draper tackled heavy, complex storylines for TV at the time, bringing levity and humanity to taboos subjects such as infidelity, sex, and the pressures of being a single career-driven woman without kids. Her efforts earned her an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 1988.

Since that defining role, Draper has continued to build upon her entertainment career as a screenwriter (The Tic Code, 1998), showrunner (The Naked Brothers Band, 2007-09), director (The Naked Brothers Band: the Movie, 2005), and producer (Stella's Last Weekend, 2018). She even won a Writers Guild of America Award for the hit Nickelodeon series The Naked Brothers Band.

More than three decades after Thirtysomething, Draper is still going strong -- and still looking amazing while she’s at it. After appearing on some of the small screen’s biggest recent hits, including HBO Max’s Hacks, Netflix’s Forever, and Showtime’s Billions, Draper shows no signs of hitting the breaks.

Deadline recently announced she’s starring alongside Richard Kind (A Serious Man), Paul Raci (Sound of Metal), and Tovah Feldshuh (Nobody Wants This) in the indie comedy film Not Dead Yet, slated to premiere in 2027.

Lindsay Hubbard is not done talking about West Wilson.

The Summer House star posted another blunt message about Wilson on Monday, June 15, this time making a claim about his current dating life after all the drama surrounding his romance with Amanda Batula.

"Meanwhile, West is still out with other girls, and still talking to his other girlfriends, like a true Fboy," Hubbard wrote on Threads.

Lindsay Hubbard Made Another Claim About West Wilson

Hubbard's post came after she explained why she believes Wilson "manipulated" Batula.

"I'm on an airplane atm otherwise I would post a video," Hubbard wrote, before saying Wilson was the one who initiated the situation with Batula.

According to Hubbard, Wilson was the first to raise the question of whether he and Batula had feelings for each other. She then added that Batula is still responsible for her own decisions.

"Yes, Amanda is a grown a-- woman and makes her own big girl decisions," Hubbard wrote. "And yes, she needs to deal with those big girl consequences."

Hubbard said viewers will see a conversation between her and Batula in the upcoming episode of Summer House: The Aftermath.

The Post Comes Before 'Summer House: The Aftermath'

Bravo is airing Summer House: The Aftermath on Tuesday, June 16.

The bonus episode includes post-reunion conversations about the fallout from Season 10, including the drama around Batula and Wilson's relationship. The romance became one of the most talked-about storylines of the season because Batula had been close with Ciara Miller, who previously dated Wilson.

Batula and Wilson publicly confirmed their relationship earlier this year after Batula's split from Kyle Cooke. The timeline became a major point of tension during the reunion.

This is not Hubbard's first recent post about Wilson.

She previously criticized him after he joked on his podcast that he hoped the NBA Finals would pull viewers away from Summer House: The Aftermath. Hubbard accused him of trying to hurt the same show that helped make him more visible to Bravo fans.

She also called him "trash" in that earlier post.

Her latest message goes further because it directly questions Wilson's behavior around other women while the Amanda drama is still playing out publicly.

West Wilson's 'Summer House' Future Is Also in Question

The new post also comes as Wilson's future on the show appears uncertain.

People reported on June 15 that Wilson is not expected to return for Summer House Season 11, according to a source close to production. Bravo has not commented on the report yet.

Wilson joined Summer House in Season 8 and quickly became a major part of the cast's relationship drama, first through his connection with Miller and later through his romance with Batula.

If he does not return as a full-time cast member, The Aftermath may be one of the last major places fans see him address the fallout directly.

North West turned 13 on Monday, June 15, officially making Kim and Kanye West's daughter a teenager. Kardashian marked the occasion with a sweet Instagram post dedicated to North, sharing recent photos, a mother-daughter selfie and a throwback of North as a baby.

"Happy Birthday my Northiiiiiieeeeeeeee (Uzi voice!!!)," Kardashian wrote. "I can't believe you are officially a teenager!!!!!"

"There's no one like you my baby girl!" she wrote. "I love being your mom and watching you grow. I love you to the aliens galaxies you would speak of as a kid and beyond."

North is no longer just the little girl fans watched grow up on social media. She is officially a teenager.

North's Birthday Came After a Big Performance Moment

Just days before turning 13, she performed solo at Lyrical Lemonade's Summer Smash 2026 music festival in Bridgeview, Illinois. Kardashian shared a look at the event on Instagram Stories, including backstage passes featuring North's face and clips of her daughter performing onstage.

North wore a head-to-toe black Balenciaga look with spiky jewelry, black sneaker boots and oversized sunglasses for the performance.

Kanye also showed support by reposting a clip of North performing "TALKING," their 2024 collaboration from his album Vultures 1.

The Summer Smash performance was another sign that North is building her own creative lane.

Her debut EP, N0rth4Evr, was released on May 1, and her family showed support online at the time. She also made a surprise appearance at Rolling Loud in Orlando earlier this year and performed with Kanye at his concert at SoFi Stadium in April.

Kris Jenner Also Paid Tribute

Kardashian was not the only family member to celebrate North.

Kris Jenner also shared a birthday tribute, calling North "beautiful, brilliant, creative, funny, and smart." Jenner added that watching North find her own path and passions has been "such a joy."

North has been known for her bold style and personality for years, but her latest birthday comes as she is also starting to show what she wants to create on her own.

John Stamos is reflecting on the dissolution of his first marriage on "The Really Good Pod" out now. The Instagram reel currently circulating as a “divorce revelation” is not a new divorce announcement but rather recent comments by John Stamos about his divorce from Rebecca Romijn.

In a recently posted Instagram clip, from the Wednesday, June 10 episode of Bobbi Althoff's The Really Good Podcast, the Full House alum explained that he "didn't want to get divorced." Referring to his 2004 separation from actress Rebecca Romijn. 

The Really Good Podcast, hosted by social media star and internet sensation Bobbi Althoff, which features deadpan, intentionally awkward celebrity interviews, sheds light on Stamos' divorce. In the podcast appearance, Stamos said, “I had one, it broke my heart," and “I didn't want to get divorced. She wanted to.”

View this post on Instagram

He further explained how the breakup hurt him and that it took him a long time to recover emotionally. He also said that he now sees Romijn as having built a happy life and spoke positively about her husband, Jerry O'Connell, after a recent friendly encounter. 

"It took me a long time to get over it. But I have to say that she has a nice life, she married another guy, and she has kids. They're doing great. I met him recently, which was very interesting." 

"He was very, very funny and very charming."

"He was very sweet," Stamos told Althoff of his run-in with O'Connell, although he doesn’t mention him by name. "We were at a party together, and he came over and was super nice. He couldn't have been sweeter."

"He was very, very funny and very charming," Stamos said of his ex-wife’s current husband. Stamos goes on to say that he hasn’t seen his ex-wife since their divorce. He tells the unaware host that he was indeed married to Rebecca for a long time, “We were together 10 years.” Stamos added, “I met him maybe once, 20, 30 years ago. But I haven't seen her since we got divorced."

Romijn and Stamos wed back in 1998, and their divorce was finalized in 2005. Stamos has since remarried, in 2018, to his wife, Caitlin McHugh, and also welcomed their son Billy, that same year. As for his ex Romijn, she and O'Connell wed back in 2007and share 17-year-old twin daughters Charlie and Dolly.

In a 2023 interview with People, Stamos said his divorce from Rebecca Romijn was “shattering” and one of the most difficult experiences of his life. He admitted that he struggled to cope healthily after the marriage ended and began drinking heavily during that period.

In his memoir, "If You Would Have Told Me", he reflects on his former marriage and his healing process. Looking back, Stamos believes the painful experience ultimately helped him grow, leading him to a better understanding of what real love is and, eventually, to happiness with his wife, Caitlin McHugh.

Nurse influencer Jen Hamilton announced an exciting new partnership just days after hinting at a divorce from husband Brian Hamilton.

"INTRODUCING: Jen Hamilton x Lilac Market SCRUB CAPS! 🩺💜" the Monday, June 15, announcement began. "You all have been asking us to make this one for YEARS... Meet our all-new scrub caps—designed with the internet’s favorite nurse, Jen Hamilton, and made with the same Lilac quality and comfort you already know and love."

The two fun styles — which will be released on June 19 —come in multiple printed patterns, including lemons, florals, pink striped, and chickens.

View this post on Instagram

Hamilton previously hinted at the collab in a June 12 Instagram post, teasing, "Something BIG is coming!"

The exciting brand partnership dropped just two days after the beloved labor and delivery nurse hinted that she and husband Brian Hamilton were going through a divorce.

"Day 1: absolutely devastated. Please don’t try to reach out to anybody on my behalf. That would make everything so much worse for me. Please just let me grieve," she shared in a since-deleted Saturday, June 13, post. "My heart is absolutely shattered."

Replying to one follower's well wishes, Hamilton wrote, "I’ve just never been enough for him."

The couple — who share sons Ellis and Luke — tied the knot in October 2012, while she was five months pregnant with their eldest son.

Despite removing the original video, Hamilton later broke her silence with a follow-up, begging fans to stop talking about her marriage.

"It is my own fault. I posted my real time pain for it to be witnessed. For someone to tell me I’m going to be OK. I just didn’t expect so many people to use it for content," she shared on Monday. "So now my FYP on every app is just video/statuses about me/him."

Jen went on to share that she still loves Brian and wishes the best for him, but called the situation "complex."

"We both are hurting, broken people. And I love him so much. Please send love and healing vibes his way, but do not reach out or talk bad about him," she added. "It’s my fault for bringing it here. I was just hurting and looking for comfort. So much regret."

The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is a highly anticipated film that will be set between The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring. Several stars from the franchise are reprising their roles from earlier films, including Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, Lee Pace, and Andy Serkis.

Of course, there will be some new faces joining the cast as well, including Kate Winslet, Jamie Dornan, and Leo Woodall. On June 15, Deadline announced another huge star who is joining the Lord of the Rings franchise. She is known for her iconic roles in The Queen's Gambit, Last Night in Soho, The Menu, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, and Dune.

“In the Andy Serkis-directed film, Taylor-Joy will play the role of Seren, a Sindar Elf of the Woodland Realm, a trusted and lethal agent of King Thranduil (Pace),” the outlet reported.

The news was also posted on Instagram by the official Lord of the Rings account. It said, “Welcome to the hunt, Anya Taylor-Joy” and has already racked up 70,000 likes from excited fans. Most viewers are excited about the news, although some are skeptical of the new character that Taylor-Joy will be playing.

One commenter said, “Here we go with the made-up characters... But I'll stay optimistic until seeing it. At least she is perfect to play an Elf.”

There’s not much known about her character at this point. However, Gollum will be a central character in the story. When speaking about the upcoming film earlier this year, Peter Jackson told Deadline, “The Gollum/Sméagol character has always fascinated me because Gollum reflects the worst of human nature, whilst his Sméagol side is, arguably, quite sympathetic.”

He continued, “I think he connects with readers and film audiences alike, because there’s a little bit of both of them in all of us. We really want to explore his backstory and delve into those parts of his journey we didn’t have time to cover in the earlier films.”

The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum is coming to theaters in December 2027.

Team Charlie is getting a lot of attention on Outlast: The Jungle. The camp started with two women, and they became more disposable with time. Braxton Fish addressed the backlash before and after the Netflix show's premiere.

Spoiler alert for Outlast: The Jungle Episode 4!

Braxton of 'Outlast: The Jungle' Says 'His Girls' Have His Back View this post on Instagram

Braxton is an adventure vlogger and teamed up with Wes Saunders, Brett Johnson, Sarah Awad, and Leiya Pillitteri. Many viewers believe the men mistreated the women and Braxton made it clear that he noticed in his new Instagram post.

The vlogger shared a post full of pictures with women as he promoted the reality show on June 14. "This post is for my girls. All my baddies got my back," he captioned the images.

Wes, 37, and Sarah, 26, got into a screaming match in the first days of the competition. She didn't like that the football player took a break and lay down when they needed to finish their shelter. No one intervened in the arguments.

The camp began isolating Sarah as tensions rose between her and Wes. This was the biggest factor when they had a chance to get rid of a teammate in exchange for supplies.

Leiya, 26, hesitated to agree because that would leave her as the last woman. Wes told her that wasn't the right line of thinking. Leiya agreed to drop Sarah since she was outnumbered.

The men considered fire as Leiya's responsibility, and it wasn't accomplished. They talked about voting her out next. This further distanced her from the men.

"I got a mama back at home that loves me dearly back in Pearl River, Louisiana," Brett said in episode 4. "And I don't need no damn mama out here on the beach."

Leiya overheard the men complaining about her and she told them it hurt her feelings when they mock her. Braxton then copied what she said to Brett, then laughed. He told Leiya that she had to take a joke.

The women of Team Charlie weren't the only ones to butt heads with Braxton, Brett, and Wes. They also had a tense interaction with Abby Chu and Morgan Colburn of Team Bravo over coconuts. It's safe to say that Team Charlie made enemies with a lot of women.

The first six episodes of Outlast: The Jungle is now available to stream on Netflix. The last two episodes will be released on June 17.

I love finding products that feel a little special but don't require a trip to a boutique store. That's why I immediately took notice when I spotted a cult-favorite home item long associated with Anthropologie suddenly appearing at Target.

For years, this product has been one of those purchases people rave about online and recommend to friends. Fans say the scent is unforgettable, the packaging looks beautiful on display, and the quality lives up to the hype. Now, shoppers can grab it at Target for the first time, making it easier than ever to bring a bit of that Anthropologie magic home.

The Capri Blue Signature Volcano Jar Candle is now at Target in the brand's iconic cobalt-blue glass jar. Target recently added the 19-ounce candle to its lineup for $34.99, which is about $5 less than the price at Anthropologie, though the one there comes in a more decorative jar.

If you've ever walked into an Anthropologie store and wondered why it smells so good, there's a good chance Volcano is the reason. The fragrance has become so closely associated with the retailer that many shoppers consider it Anthropologie's signature scent.

The candle combines tropical fruits with sugared citrus notes including orange, lemon and lime. The result is a scent that many people describe as fresh, clean and energizing.

I can see why so many shoppers become obsessed with it. Summer is when I want my home to smell bright and cheerful, not heavy or spicy. Volcano seems to hit that sweet spot with a fragrance that's fruity enough to feel fun but clean enough to burn every day.

Reviews are filled with praise from longtime fans. One shopper wrote, "The hype is deserved," while another called it their "new favorite candle." Many reviewers say the scent quickly fills a room and lingers long after the candle is extinguished.

Target shoppers also appreciate the candle's stylish appearance. The bright blue jar and chrome lid make it feel elevated and easy to display on a coffee table, bookshelf or kitchen counter.

Volcano has expanded into lotions, room sprays and diffusers over the years, but the original candle remains the product people talk about most. And now that it's available at Target, I have a feeling a lot more homes are about to start smelling like summer.

Emma Heming Willis is sharing just how involved her kids are when it comes to the health of their dad, legendary actor Bruce Willis.

Chatting on "The Bossticks" podcast, Emma discussed her life as a caregiver following Bruce's 2023 frontotemporal dementia (FTD) diagnosis. Specifically, she shared how she keeps the couple's children, Mabel, 14, and Evelyn, 12, informed.

"When Bruce was diagnosed, the kids knew I was going to be coming home with a name of whatever this might be, and I told them it was, frontemporal dementia, and they made an acronym of Fantastic Turtles Dancing, so that they would be able to remember just the way the letters went," she recalled. "From there, I would wait and just wait to see what questions they might have."

"You have to be ready to answer those questions that you feel fit for them to hear in an age appropriate way, but it must be truthful," she added. "I have always told my kids that 'If anything changes, I'm going to let you know,' so they know that I'm never going to try and sugarcoat this for them, they, I think, feel confident in me, there's that trust that they know that I'll be able to talk with them and walk them through it, and they are supported, and I think that they're doing really well, given the givens."

Emma, 48, who has documented her time with Bruce since his diagnosis has also become an advocate and helps to spread awareness about early detection. In September of 2025, she wrote a book, entitled 'The Unexpected Journey: Finding Strength, Hope, and Yourself on the Caregiving Path,' on how she's navigated the major life change.

"I didn't think about caregiving," she said in the interview. "I didn't think that this would be a part of my life until all of a sudden it was a part of my life."

She also wanted to let fellow caregivers know that "it's okay to ask for help."

"We need to be able to bring in help, talk to our community, our family, our friends, sort of rally that idea of community that we have lost complete touch of, I think," she said.

Bruce is dad to Rumor, 37, Scout 34, and Tallulah, 32, whom he shares with ex-wife Demi Moore.

What's the Aldi Blind Box?

Courtesy Aldi

The Aldi Blind Box is exactly what it sounds like: a surprise grocery bundle filled with Aldi products. The boxes may include fan-favorite finds, everyday staples and fresh picks from different aisles, but the exact contents are part of the fun.

Aldi says the rise of surprise unboxings across beauty, fashion and collectibles inspired the idea. But instead of paying for a mystery toy or skincare sample, shoppers can score a box of groceries delivered straight to their door.

"Our shoppers come to Aldi for value, but they also come for discovery," said Bridget Kozlowski, director of communications for Aldi. "From viral Aldi Finds to tried-and-true products shoppers love to tell their friends about, people love the thrill of discovering something new here."

Aldi will release four themed Blind Boxes from June 22–25, with a new box dropping each day at noon ET. The themes include Snack, Fiber, Protein and Mystery.

The Snack Blind Box is made for grazers and could include a mix of cheeses, dips, crunchy bites and sweets. The Fiber Blind Box features gut-friendly staples and fresh picks, while the Protein Blind Box is designed for shoppers looking for filling, protein-forward foods. The Mystery Blind Box is the wild card, with a surprise assortment of Aldi staples and potential new favorites from across the store.

How to Get One for Free

To claim an Aldi Blind Box, visit AldiBlindBox.com each day from June 22–25 at noon ET. Select that day's box, enter your shipping information and wait for it to arrive.

The catch is that the boxes are available only while supplies last and are being given away on a first-come, first-served basis. According to Aldi, just over 100 boxes will be available with each daily drop. Aldi will also reveal each day's theme on @aldiusa on Instagram, so shoppers may want to keep an eye there before the daily drop.

And if you miss out, it's not a total loss. Aldi says the featured products and new discoveries will still be available in stores nationwide and on Aldi's website.
