Spencer Pratt has responded to his loss in the Los Angeles mayoral race in a fiery rant posted to Instagram. “Hey morons, I didn’t get in this for political power,” says Pratt, a Republican and former reality TV star. “I got in this to expose this corrupt machine, and nothing’s changed.” Despite Pratt’s third-place finish, nine points behind the incumbent Karen Bass and 2.7 points behind Councilwoman Nithya Raman, he declared he will maintain influence over the country’s second-largest city. “It’s war,” Pratt says in the clip, adding, “You think you can get rid of me that easily?” He also listed people who he claims will leave the city because of his loss. “You have no idea how bad things are going to get for this city,” he claimed, adding that he is sitting on incriminating video of one of the two “commie animals” currently still in the race, referring to Raman and Bass, who are both Democrats. He gave no details on the contents of this video or how he obtained it, but claims the FBI will be “breaking down [their] doors.”

Seminal British painter David Hockney has died at age 88. Hockney, whose colorful works include Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures), The Splash, and My Parents, died at his home in London on Thursday, just a few weeks short of his 89th birthday. In a statement, publicist Erica Bolton described the painter as one of the “most important figures in contemporary art in both the 20th and 21st centuries.” In a career spanning seven decades, Hockney was a key figure in the pop art movement and later moved into other forms, such as photography and digital art. In 2018, his Pool with Two Figures work sold at Christie’s auction house in New York City for $90 million, breaking a record for the most expensive artwork by a living artist. The record stood for just a few months until Jeff Koons’ Rabbit sculpture sold for more than $91 million in May 2019. Born in Bradford, northern England, Hockney’s work also depicts scenes from his adopted homes in California and London. He was also a lifelong smoker, who campaigned against the imposition of restrictions on tobacco. “I’ve smoked for 62 years, so why stop now?” he told an interviewer. “Picasso smoked, died at 91. Matisse smoked, died at 84. Monet smoked, died at 86. Van Gogh smoked a pipe, and he died early, but not from smoking.”

Training your pelvic floor is a preventative wellness modality that addresses bladder control, posture, core stability, postpartum recovery, and sexual satisfaction. Kegel exercises are a great way to train the pelvic floor. Unfortunately, there’s no instruction manual… and it’s not exactly intuitive for some of us.

According to the premium sexual wellness brand Smile Makers, experts have recently flagged a surprisingly common problem with pelvic floor exercises: most people doing Kegels are doing them wrong—especially when it comes to the releasing part of the exercise. Many people unknowingly over-tense their pelvic floor and never fully let go, which can reduce the benefits of kegels and even weaken the pelvic floor rather than strengthening it. Smile Makers Collection’s Pelvic Partner was designed specifically to help people do kegels correctly—and make them more effective.

Pelvic Partner is a pelvic floor trainer engineered around awareness and habit-building rather than data, gamification, or app fatigue. It features 360-degree squeeze-sensor technology that detects contractions all the way around the device. The gentle vibration during contraction stops only when the user fully relaxes, allowing users to literally feel the difference between engaging and releasing.

The pelvic floor training device is also equipped with multiple modes that increase resistance over time (just like strength training), and the long, flexible stem makes positioning comfortable.

Elizabeth Olsen was spotted at a restaurant in Los Angeles with a visible baby bump, quietly revealing that she is pregnant with her first child. The actress, 37, was seen wearing a long-sleeve button-down left open at the bottom to reveal her stomach. The discreet reveal is on-brand for Olsen; the Full House star and her musician husband, Robbie Arnett, lead a more private life than most Hollywood stars and even eloped in 2020 before the pandemic. A source confirmed to People that the two had been dating for three years before their engagement, despite the couple first being spotted together in March 2017. Olsen confirmed the marriage when she officially called Arnett her “husband” in a 2021 interview with Kaley Cuoco. “I also just noticed that my husband...,” the actress said, shocking fans. Olsen is yet to speak out about her pregnancy.

A Turkish Airlines plane carrying 267 people crashed into a ground radar antenna while taxiing at Antalya Airport in Turkey on Friday. The Boeing 777 aircraft, operating Flight TK2430 from Istanbul, reportedly hit the metal radar structure with one of its wings. The antenna then collapsed onto the side of the plane, leaving a large hole and significant damage to the aircraft. The collision was powerful enough to trigger oxygen masks to drop from the ceiling and force overhead luggage bins open. Passengers described hearing a “frightening” bang when the impact occurred. Firefighters and paramedics responded to the scene while travelers evacuated via aircraft stairs. Turkish Airlines said all 267 passengers were safely removed from the plane. One passenger sustained minor injuries and was later reported to be in good condition. A technical investigation into the incident has been launched.

King Charles laughed after a woman accidentally called him “darling” instead of “Your Majesty” during a visit to Grimsby on Thursday. The 77-year-old monarch was meeting community groups at Grimsby Town Football Club’s Blundell Park when ticket office manager Francine Orr made the unexpected greeting. Despite receiving instructions on royal protocol beforehand, Orr said nerves took over when she came face-to-face with the king. “Alright darling,” she said before immediately realizing her mistake and apologizing. Rather than correcting her, Charles appeared amused by the mix-up. According to Orr, he laughed and replied, “That’s OK. I like being called darling.” Orr later described Charles as “so down to earth” and a “lovely man,” adding that she was relieved by his warm reaction. The king also visited the Horizon Youth Zone and the CARE Hub, where he spoke with young people, volunteers, and residents. The visit was part of a day-long tour highlighting local organizations that provide support, services, and opportunities for communities across Grimsby and Cleethorpes.

Taylor Swift has been getting the heat for her attendance to cheer on the New York Knicks at Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Long-time bestie Selena Gomez, 33, seemingly threw shade at Swift by commenting, “so funny how some are all the sudden fans though lol,” in response to the large celebrity presence at the Knicks’ legendary 29-point comeback to beat the Spurs 107-106 in Game 4. Gomez’s subtle jab at bandwagon fans was not received well; one fan posted, “selena, please! the desperation for attention is showing.” After supposedly waking up to a slew of public discourse about her comment, Gomez responded to defend herself, stating that she was not referring to Swift. “‘I would never insult my friends nor was it an insult. The comment was a reaction to the first slide on the page,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories. “Second I bet my friends on the game. The friends in the text chain I posted. I lost but was poking at my opponents, my friends. Believe it or not I do have other friends in my life. But quickly forget that most assume otherwise. also .. It’s a basketball game.” Swift wasn’t the only A-lister sitting courtside on Wednesday; Kylie Jenner was there with boyfriend and lifelong Knicks fan Timothee Chalamet, as well as Hailey Bieber and Adam Sandler. Swift has not responded publicly to the supposed shade.

Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper, 28, was arrested for a second time this month on Thursday night after police say he violated a protection order connected to an ongoing domestic violence case. The latest arrest comes just days after prosecutors added a felony assault charge to allegations stemming from a June 4 altercation with his longtime girlfriend, Jade Fiegen. According to court and jail records, Cooper was booked into the Douglas County Jail in Colorado on charges including violation of a protection order and harassment through repeated telephone calls. Authorities allege Cooper sent multiple messages, made phone calls, and went to his girlfriend’s apartment despite a court order barring contact. She reportedly called 911 after he arrived at her residence. The protection order was issued after prosecutors upgraded charges related to Cooper’s June 4 arrest, adding felony second-degree assault by strangulation and misdemeanor third-degree assault. The case stems from an argument between Cooper and his girlfriend over allegations of infidelity. Last weekend, Cooper appeared to address the situation on Instagram, posting a Bible verse about anger alongside an apology. “I apologize to my family and my friends and my community... And so many others,” he wrote. He added, “I realize posting a bible [verse] after something very serious happens does not just mean everything is okay.” The Broncos said they were “disappointed” to learn of Cooper’s latest arrest and are continuing to review the situation. The NFL also confirmed the matter remains under review of the league’s personal conduct policy. Cooper has pleaded not guilty to the original charges. A motions hearing is set for July 6, with a potential jury trial later that month.

A Delta Air Lines flight was forced to divert after an unusual odor was reported in the cockpit. Delta Air Lines Flight 337 departed from Orlando and was headed to Detroit Metro Airport but was diverted to Charlotte, North Carolina, on Thursday after the crew declared an emergency. “Nothing is more important than the safety of our customers and people, and we apologize for their experience and delay in travel,” Delta said in a statement to CBS News. There were 187 passengers on board, and a spokesperson said they were being accommodated overnight with hotel and meal vouchers, and that the flight to Detroit was scheduled to depart on Friday. The cause of the odor, and what it was, remains unknown. The Thursday incident marks the second such case in recent months, after another Delta flight bound for Seattle made an emergency landing in the Bay Area in April due to a strange smell in the cabin. In December last year, two similar incidents involving unusual odors on the airline were also reported. The Daily Beast has reached out to Delta Air Lines for comment.

From IV drips to nasal sprays, NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) has become a star ingredient in the anti-aging and longevity space. NAD+ is a naturally occurring molecule produced by the body, and, much like collagen, elastin, and certain hormones, its levels decline with age. While intravenous and subcutaneous administration of NAD+ may help address concerns such as low energy, poor recovery, and dull skin, oral NAD+ supplements themselves have not been shown to be particularly effective. On the other hand, over-the-counter NAD+ precursors like NMN (nicotinamide mononucleotide) have shown promising results in both clinical studies and anecdotal reports. Possible benefits of oral NMN supplementation include reduced fatigue, less brain fog, healthier-looking skin, and, according to emerging research, support for healthier hair by addressing thinning from within.

As NAD+ levels decline, cellular energy production nosedives, oxidative stress increases, and hair follicles may become more vulnerable to thinning and age-related dysfunction. This has positioned NMN as a promising area of interest for hair health. The new body of research suggests that NMN supplementation may support cellular repair and proliferation by helping counter free radical damage (the cellular and molecular stress caused by factors such as UV exposure and pollution), which may, in turn, help support healthier hair growth and density.

A former Spice Girls icon has joined the cast of Season 6 of Only Murders in the Building, the Emmy-winning Hulu comedy starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. The surprise casting announcement was revealed on Thursday via the show’s official Instagram account. Halliwell-Horner, better known to millions as Ginger Spice, has previously starred as herself in the Spice World (1997) and more recently in the film Gran Turismo (2023). She’ll be joined by a slate of notable stars, including Martin Freeman, Jamie Demetriou, Jane Horrocks, Anjana Vasan, Derek Jacobi, and Lesley Nicol. The upcoming season marks a major shift for the hit series, which will leave its familiar New York setting behind and head to London for the first time. Plot details for the upcoming season have not been revealed, but co-creator John Hoffman recently suggested to TV Insider that the series still has room to grow beyond Season 6. The new season is expected to premiere on Hulu and Disney+ in fall 2026.

The first-ever footage of a Goblin shark has been obtained by Australian scientists, and the species is making history for its rarity and ugliness. “Not even their mother would love their faces,” Professor Colum Brown of Macquarie University said. During two ventures, one to the Tonga Trench in 2024 and one near Jarvis Island, scientists recorded over 50 days of footage, leading to the approximately 20-second clip of the mysterious creature published in the Journal of Fish Biology. “They’ve captured the imagination of so many people, but we’ve never really seen them alive,” Professor Alan Jamieson, director of the Minderoo-UWA Deep-Sea Research Center, said. “We actually know virtually nothing about them.” Jamieson, a co-author of the paper, is particularly drawn to the animal’s rare and rather unpleasant appearance. “They have this incredible mouth that kind of protrudes down from the head, and does a kind of slingshot feeding thing.” The recordings of the animal expanded the species’ known geographical range to the Central Pacific and constitute the deepest-known record of a white shark.
