Britney Spears has sent fans into detective mode after posting a cryptic message alongside a baby outfit that appeared to hint at a major personal announcement. The 44-year-old singer shared an Instagram post saying, “If you’re lucky I have someone unbelievably beautiful I want to introduce you to… hopefully🤞 this year 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ and if not the most beautiful things will never be seen!!!!!” She added, “Come what may… oh so near but the feet I feel lived too much in fear so the soil of ground that silence suspends is where I’m found yet there begin!!!! It’s in the silence!!!!!!” The accompanying image showed a baby outfit with the words “Phoenix has arrived” printed across the shirt. A Jewish holy book was also partially visible, while later images in the carousel featured Spears’ sons, Sean Preston Federline and Jayden James Federline. With comments disabled on Spears’ Instagram page, fans flocked to X to debate the meaning of the post. Some believed it was a pregnancy announcement, while others wondered whether a relative was expecting. Others pointed to Spears recently being seen traveling with a car seat. No explanation has been given.

The U.S. Navy’s elite Blue Angels squadron is reviewing one of its own jets after it roared so low over a beach that it sent chairs and umbrellas flying. The Wednesday-morning stunt happened during a “Breakfast with the Blues” event at Florida’s Pensacola Beach on the Gulf Coast barrier island of Santa Rosa, as reported by ABC News. Footage of the pass went viral across social media.

In a statement, the squadron said an aircraft “flew lower than standard profiles” during an arrival maneuver, calling it a “low-altitude pass” that caused “a disturbance on the beach that affected civilian chairs and umbrellas.” Ashley Korn was stunned. “I’ve been coming for 10 years and I’ve never seen a pass like that in my life,” she told North Florida ABC affiliate WEAR-TV. “I literally thought we were going to be taken out by Blue Angels, but it was amazing.” The squadron said the safety of its community, spectators, and pilots is its “highest priority,” adding that leadership is conducting “a thorough safety review.” Whether anyone faces consequences may depend on who is watching. When eight South Carolina National Guard Apache pilots were grounded over a low July Fourth flyover, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, 46, intervened within hours, posting on social media, “We’ll fix this. Carry on, Patriots,” before the suspensions were lifted.

Whether you’re acne-prone, have sensitive skin, or are always looking to amp up hydration, there’s a reason EltaMD’s SPF lineup is the number one dermatologist-recommended professional sunscreen brand. Each of its non-comedogenic, whitecast-proof mineral sunscreens is formulated not only to shield your skin from UV damage and environmental aggressors, but also to improve it with regular use. EltaMD’s non-comedogenic formulas combine broad-spectrum protection with complexion-supporting ingredients that help your skin look and feel better with consistent use. My current favorite, EltaMD’s UV Daily Hydration+ SPF 50, is a true triple threat, combining the benefits of a moisturizer, hyaluronic acid serum, and daily sunscreen in one lightweight formula.

Unlike many mineral sunscreens that leave dry patches and crepey skin begging for an extra layer of moisturizer, this silky formula is infused with hyaluronic acid to help lock in hydration for up to 24 hours while visibly plumping fine lines, softening the look of wrinkles, and smoothing dry patches—all without feeling heavy, greasy, or leaving behind that dreaded sunscreen film.

The mineral-based formula uses invisible zinc oxide technology, so it blends seamlessly into the skin without the ghostly cast commonly associated with traditional mineral SPFs. It’s also available in both clear and tinted versions, making it easy to find a finish that works with your complexion and routine.

Of course, the real selling point is the skincare-meets-sun-care benefits. The Daily Hydration+ SPF 50 is clinically shown to improve visible dryness by 75 percent, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by 20 percent, and skin plumpness by 19 percent. In other words, it’s not just a sunscreen you tolerate because you know you’re supposed to wear SPF every day—it’s a formula you’ll actually look forward to applying.

Actor Hal Williams, whose steady screen presence made him a sitcom staple for decades, has died at 91. Williams, best known for playing Officer “Smitty” Smith on the hit 1970s comedy Sanford and Son, died of natural causes at his home in Rancho Mirage, California, on Wednesday morning, his manager, Zna Portlock Houston, told TMZ. Houston said Williams had experienced health issues and felt tired after returning from Ohio, where he attended a Sanford and Son reunion with former co-star Howard Platt. Williams launched his television career in 1972 with the show, starring alongside Redd Foxx and Demond Wilson. He went on to land major roles on The Waltons and 227, while appearing in dozens of other TV series, including Good Times, Hill Street Blues, Magnum P.I., Night Court, and L.A. Law. His film credits included Hardcore, The Rookie, and Flight. Just days before his death, Williams reflected on why Sanford and Son still resonates with audiences. “Because the humor was so real and wasn’t artificial, and it was just generally funny, funny, funny, one laugh after another all the time,” he said.

Former New York congressman and prison inmate George Santos is pivoting to a new career in reality television after his scandal-filled time in politics. Santos is continuing to fall from grace by announcing he is set to appear in the fifth season of Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, where contestants face extreme challenges such as being subjected to chemical gassing. Santos, who was expelled from the House in December 2023 while facing criminal fraud charges amid a string of other ethical violations, announced the news in a social media post. “I took my fat behind off the couch and tried something new! And it changed EVERYTHING!” Santos wrote while sharing a promotional photo of himself trying to look tough and wearing camouflage gear. Santos is set to appear in the show alongside celebrities such as actor Ruby Rose and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville. Santos was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. However, he was locked up for just 84 days after his sentence was commuted by President Donald Trump.

A bodyguard who worked with celebrities including Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton has died in a car accident. Mason Haynes was 52 when he died on July 4 in a traffic accident, two days before his birthday. According to a GoFundMe established to support his family with funeral costs and financial pressures, Haynes leaves behind his wife Fay, daughter Brooke, and son Noah. Haynes is described as a protector and mentor, as well as a prankster and a “giant in every sense of the word, with an even bigger heart.” In addition to the Kardashian family, Haynes had worked with such stars as Kevin Hart, Nicki Minaj, and Charlie Puth. Haynes’ employer, Trojan Security UK, shared a photo of Haynes working with Kris Jenner in tribute to him, writing, “We would like to pay homage to an absolute legend in the Close Protection game. Big Mason. Gone too soon. Rest easy and fly high Brother 🕊️” One friend quoted in the GoFundMe’s description said that “the world has been robbed of that rare thing… a genuinely good man.”

The New York Times is fighting back against the Trump administration’s efforts to subpoena journalists who reported on security issues with the president’s new Air Force One. The paper’s deputy general counsel, David McCraw, announced Wednesday that the Times filed a motion to quash the “abusive and improper subpoenas” issued to three of its journalists, who were ordered to disclose their confidential sources. McCraw said that the subpoenas were “brought in bad faith to punish the Times for its coverage” and “violate the constitutional rights” of the publication. “We are going to court to defend our journalists’ rights to report freely on the administration and to provide the public with stories that matter,” he said. The Times revealed on Friday that four reporters received subpoenas from the DOJ following their coverage of Trump’s abrupt switch to use Air Force One rather than the luxury jet gifted to him by Qatar. The Times reporters, citing anonymous sources, also revealed that the Qatari Boeing 747-8 lacked some of the same defensive measures as the older aircraft.

Morbid Angel co-founder Mike Browning has died at 62, sending the death metal community into mourning. Browning, considered a pioneer of the genre, co-launched the influential Florida band in 1983 alongside guitarist Trey Azagthoth, contributing on drums and vocals in its earliest material before leaving the group. He later forged his own path by creating Nocturnus, a band widely recognized for mixing death metal with science-fiction themes, before reviving the project as Nocturnus A.D. in 2013. His death was announced by Profound Lore Records, while former bandmates and fellow musicians shared tributes celebrating his impact. Megadeth drummer Dirk Verbeuren said Browning was both “a musical legend” and “truly the nicest guy,” while Morbid Angel thanked him for laying the band’s foundation. Browning is survived by his daughter, Bela, who said her father was “an amazing person” and an even better dad. His cause of death was not released.

A man has been arrested for attempting to rob a bank while carrying a kitten he just swiped from an adoption center. After snatching the feline, Magnolia, the unnamed man ran to a nearby PNC Bank in Beltsville, Maryland, to try to rob it, authorities say. Stephanie Stullich, who was caring for the cat, recalled the incident to NBC News: “Apparently, he went into the bank with the cat in his arms, and he walked up to a bank employee and said, ‘Can you hold this?’ And then he wrote a note and handed it to a bank teller, and it said, essentially, give me all your cash.” The Prince George County Police Department confirmed they took a man into custody at the bank on Monday morning. Employees from the pet store said they had seen the man come in nearly every day for two weeks, always beelining for the 3-month-old kitten. Magnolia was unharmed in the heist and is still available for adoption, Stullich said. “She is looking for a law-abiding citizen with a lot of love in their heart,” she said.

Finding the right bronzer can be surprisingly tricky… especially if you have mature, dry, or fair skin. Many powder formulas are too matte, settling into (and even emphasizing) fine lines, texture, and pores, while creams and liquids tend to lack the staying power to make them worth applying in the first place. Even if your goal isn’t to look more tan, the right bronzer can make a huge difference in your complexion. A good formula adds warmth back into the skin, creates subtle definition without the harshness of contour, and gives you a healthy, well-rested glow (even if you definitely did not get eight hours of sleep).

Summer Fridays’ skincare-powered Bronzer Butter Balm hits the sweet spot between a cream and a powder bronzer, delivering an ultra-forgiving, endlessly buildable wash of color that nourishes the skin while softly blurring texture. In other words, if bronzer has always intimidated you (or you’ve been burned by chalky powders, muddy shades, or creams that disappear before noon), this buttery formula will make you rethink the category.

Unlike most balms, creams, and liquids, Bronzer Butter Balm stays put for up to 12 hours, which is a rarity outside the world of powders and long-wearing matte formulas. It’s made with an innovative emulsion technology that melts effortlessly into the skin before self-setting for all-day wear. You get plenty of time to blend and perfect, but when it’s set, it truly stays put, which is a huge plus for summer heat waves and humidity.

Available in six shades, the Bronzer Butter Balm is infused with a cocktail of skincare ingredients, including ceramides, peptides, and essential fatty acids, to help plump the appearance of fine lines, smooth the appearance of skin texture, and lock in moisture. It’s also packed with shea, mango seed, and illipe butters, giving it a velvety, second-skin finish that never feels greasy or heavy. If you’re into low-maintenance makeup that’s basically impossible to mess up, this is the fuss-free bronzer of your dreams. There’s no streaking, no patchiness, and no orange surprises that require an instant double cleanse to correct. ​

A meteorite that crashed into a New Jersey home is being studied by scientists for molecules crucial to life. The Hillsborough meteor fell to Earth in 2024 at 32,000 miles per hour, with a two-pound chunk crashing through the roof of the home. “I was at home at the time, heard a loud crash, and found a hole in the ceiling of the master bedroom,” the owner said. He collected pieces of the meteorite and preserved them in a glass jar for scientific study. Almost two years after the crash, scientists exploring the meteorite are assessing the possibility that asteroids brought materials necessary for the origin of life to Earth. “A forensic study of the fragments revealed that they contained preserved bits from near the surface of a primitive asteroid where it experienced concentrated salty fluids—a process not previously known from this type of proto planet world,” said Peter Jenniskens, author and meteor astronomer of the SETI Institute and NASA’s Ames Research Center.

The fate of the bison that tossed a tourist more than eight feet into the air in Yellowstone National Park has been decided. According to TMZ, Yellowstone Park officials confirmed that no “management action” will be taken against the bison, meaning it will not be put down. The decision comes after the wild animal flipped a 65-year-old tourist into the air, seriously injuring him. The attack was captured in a now viral video by a Montana-based photographer who was trying to get some footage of the bison after it stormed into the campground where he was staying. The video showed the animal taking a dust bath before it charged at the man, who was standing a safe distance away with his grandson. Cowboy State Daily reported that the man’s grandson said he “has some pretty significant injuries and is not out of the woods yet.” The New York Times reported that the man suffered multiple broken bones. This is the second bison attack in Yellowstone this year, after a 12-year-old boy was attacked in late June.
