Jennifer Esposito has broken her silence after spending time in a psych ward. The actress told the Heel Squad podcast that her time inside was “seven of the most excruciating hours of [her] entire life.” The Blue Blood alum revealed that she even threatened to “jump out of a window” after several misdiagnoses. “[They] put a label of crazy on so quickly because they don’t understand, like, anything beyond their pills,” she said. “And I thought, ‘If I ever get out of here, I have to do something.’” The actress recalled being misdiagnosed with IBS and MS before her current diagnosis of Celiac disease—an autoimmune disease triggered by an intolerance to gluten. Esposito, 53, also recalled experiencing depression, panic attacks, and constantly feeling sick. When she finally went to the doctor, she learned her liver was failing and that the doctor was “not so sure how she was alive.”

Bomb squad personnel in Washington, D.C., shut down an entire city street over a suspicious device that was discovered to be an X-rated toy. The incident occurred around 7 a.m. Wednesday morning, when a person left a “blue-and-black electronic device” with exposed wires behind a city firehouse, according to an incident report obtained by Fox 5. Officials told WUSA9 that a witness reported someone placed a suspicious package inside a trash can outside the Tenleytown fire station. The Metropolitan Police Department’s bomb squad and K-9 unit were dispatched to the scene and identified the suspicious item as a cylindrical electronic sex toy. Wisconsin Avenue was shut down for nearly two hours between 40th Street and Warren Street, and traffic was halted in both directions on surrounding streets as authorities investigated. No injuries were reported, and police later identified the device as an “electronic sex portable pump device.” Some social media users identified the sex toy as a “Zolo Blowbot,” which retails for nearly $600 on the company’s website. The Daily Beast has reached out to MPD for additional details.

If there’s one person whose skincare routine deserves our attention, it’s probably Martha Stewart. The lifestyle mogul has spent decades teaching us how to set a table, decorate a home, and roast the perfect chicken. And, considering her famously radiant complexion at 84, she may have accidentally become one of beauty’s most convincing ambassadors too. After five years of development alongside board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali, Stewart launched Elm Biosciences in late 2025. Nearly a year later, the biotech-driven brand’s hero product (the A3O Elemental Serum) has already established itself as a favorite among beauty editors and skincare devotees alike.

The $135 serum is powered by the brand’s patent-pending A3O Complex, an antioxidant designed to target UV damage, discoloration, dehydration, and irritation. It’s formulated as a gentler, more stable alternative to traditional vitamin C, making it a game-changer for sensitive skin. The formula is also infused with line-smoothing hyaluronic acid to lock in hydration, squalane to support the skin barrier, vitamin E to soothe, and blue tansy to help lift redness and discoloration.

According to editors and reviewers, the texture is just as impressive as the ingredient list. The lightweight serum sinks in almost instantly without leaving behind a sticky finish, making it easy to layer under sunscreen and makeup (a rarity for vitamin C serums).

There’s no shortage of celebrity-backed beauty brands on the market these days, but Stewart’s Elm Biosciences feels substance-over-star-power. Rather than relying on her name alone, the brand has built its debut around an innovative formula that delivers real skincare benefits. At $135, it’s certainly a splurge, but if looking even a little more like Martha Stewart is the goal, this serum might be money well spent.

NBA guard Russell Westbrook has announced his retirement from the NBA in a social media post shared Wednesday. “Sometimes you don’t even know when you’ve already watched the end,” the 37-year-old said. “You had to be there. And now it’s over.” Selected with the overall pick in the 2008 NBA draft, the UCLA alum has spent 18 seasons in the league with seven teams. He averages 20.9 points, 6.9 rebounds, and 8.0 assists per game. The California native spent 11 seasons with Oklahoma City Thunder, where he won MVP in 2017. The guard ends his career ranking 14th on the all-time scoring list, with 27,176 points, and fifth on the all-time rebounds list. Excel Sports Management founder and CEO Jeff Schwartz released a statement prior to Westbrook’s retirement announcement regarding veteran players. “Incredible, the Lakers sell for $12B, yet teams won’t spend on older vets because of current CBA rules. Thank you, Union.” There has been no confirmed reason for Westbrook’s retirement.

Britain’s future king will soon be starting his career at England’s most storied school, and the first warning signs are already visible: “No Photography” signs have been springing up around Eton College ahead of Prince George’s arrival in early September. The Berkshire school says that the signs have nothing to do with the 13-year-old prince’s enrollment and are part of a wider plan to protect the privacy of all Eton’s pupils. When George’s father, Prince William, and his uncle, Prince Harry, attended Eton, media access to the young prince was tightly controlled during his school years; they had regular official photo opps to feed public curiosity and undermine the paparazzi. But that was an age when people still read newspapers; the first iPhone was a glint in Steve Jobs’ eye. Now everyone can take a picture and post it online for everyone to see before even the sharpest royal minder can react (although Eton first-years are given decidedly non-smart Nokia brick phones, and are not allowed smartphones until later in their career). What then, can Prince George’s parents do to protect him even further?

Summer is officially here, which means your schedule is probably brimming with backyard barbecues, vacation dinners, ice cream outings, and impromptu happy hours for the next couple of months. While these warm-weather (and often food-focused) festivities are fun, they can make it a little more challenging to navigate digestive sensitivities. If foods like garlic, onions, dairy, legumes, or wheat tend to leave you feeling bloated or uncomfortable, Fodzyme may be worth adding to your travel bag before your next food-filled adventure.

Designed for the roughly 35 million Americans living with IBS or FODMAP (fermentable carbohydrates like fructans and lactose that are difficult for the small intestine to absorb) sensitivity, Fodzyme is a clinically vetted digestive enzyme powder formulated to help break down common FODMAP carbohydrates (including fructans, GOS, and lactose) that are often associated with digestive symptoms such as bloating, gas, abdominal discomfort, constipation, and diarrhea.

Fodzyme Digestive Enzyme Powder Supplement

Unlike conventional digestive enzyme capsules and tablets, Fodzyme is sprinkled directly onto your meal before eating, allowing the enzymes to begin breaking down FODMAPs before they’re consumed. The proprietary blend includes fructan hydrolase, an enzyme that targets fructans found in foods like garlic, onions, and wheat, alongside alpha-galactosidase for beans and legumes and lactase for dairy.

Available in both a 60-serving Home Kit and convenient single-serve On-the-Go packets, Fodzyme is designed to make eating out, traveling, and special occasions a little less… uncomfortable. The powder format also sets it apart from many digestive enzyme supplements on the market, as it’s formulated to work directly on food before ingestion rather than after you’ve swallowed a capsule. If digestive discomfort has you thinking twice before ordering your favorite pasta, pizza, garlic bread, or ice cream this summer, it’s time to give sprinkle-on-anything Fodzyme a try.

The boy who appeared in the “Baby Shark” video is making his K-pop debut 10 years after going viral. Park Geonroung was six years old when he appeared in Pinkfong’s 2016 “Baby Shark Dance” video, which has since surpassed 17 billion views and become the most-watched video in YouTube history. Now 17, Park is launching a music career under the name Baby Shark Boy. His first single, “WAVE,” featuring Joohoney of K-pop group Monsta X, will be released August 20. Park, who co-wrote the song’s lyrics, said the new project will give him the chance to show audiences who he is beyond the childhood video. “I’ve always been grateful that people still remember the video I was in as a child,” he said. “Ten years ago I danced next to Baby Shark. Now I want people to hear my own voice and the story I wrote myself.” Pinkfong said Baby Shark Boy could be a one-off project, with decisions about Park’s future as an artist coming after the single’s performance. The company also plans to release WAVE: A Boy’s Record, a behind-the-scenes documentary following Park’s life in the decade since “Baby Shark.”

A man notorious for killing his pregnant wife and two children is secretly planning to get married behind bars. Chris Watts, 41, pleaded guilty in 2018 to the murder of his pregnant wife Shannon, 34, and their two young daughters, 4-year-old Celeste and 3-year-old Bella. The alleged “born-again” Christian is now serving several life sentences in prison without parole while in a relationship with 39-year-old Ohio realtor Lizzie Henderson. “How things began is between me, him and God,” Henderson, who relocated to Wisconsin to be closer to Watts, told The Daily Mail. The two have applied to marry in the prison system, and Henderson has applied to legally change her last name to Watts. Watts, who told police he killed his wife and children because he wanted to start a new life with a coworker with whom he was having an affair, has developed a following of admirers and pen-pals while locked up. In her interview with The Daily Mail, Henderson described the killings as “something harsh for anyone to experience” and admitted that others may find the relationship to be “weird.”

James Haven, 53, revealed he received an “affirming” phone call from his father, Oscar winner Jon Voight, after coming out as gay. He also described the conversation as “mind-blowing” and “surreal” on Wednesday’s episode of the All Out with Jon Dean podcast. “I finally pick up the phone after 15 minutes of him trying to call me, and I’m just like, ‘Hey,’” Angelina Jolie’s brother recalled. “And he’s like, ‘So…’ I’m like, ‘Ah, here we go.’ He goes, ‘I finally know who you are’ … and all of a sudden we had this really nice chat and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh.’” Despite the supportive call, Haven said he and his father, 87, haven’t always been close, saying they previously didn’t talk for six years. “My upbringing was very difficult, and we’ve come a long way,” Haven shared. “The biggest issue I dealt with in my relationship with him for the longest time was a value issue.” Voight is one of Hollywood’s most vocal and devoted supporters of President Donald Trump, calling him a personal hero, a friend, and the “greatest president since Abraham Lincoln.” On Thursday, Haven came out as gay during a video livestream.

Roger Federer has lost at least $52 million in stock, knocking him out of billionaire territory. The 20-time grand slam champion owns 2.5 percent of the sneaker brand On, which plummeted 19 percent on Tuesday, according to Forbes. The former Swiss tennis player, 45, now has a net worth of $952 million. It was estimated last year to be $1.1 billion. The high-performance Swiss sneaker brand was founded in 2019 in Zurich and released “The Roger” collection of shoes in 2025, leading to a massive surge in the company’s value. Federer joined the company at its founding as a co-owner, but later shifted his involvement to fashion consulting. During his career, the eight-time Wimbledon champion racked up a total of $130 million in prize money and $300 million from a 10-year apparel deal with Uniqlo, but On Running remains his greatest investment yet.

When it comes to liver-focused supplements, many of us assume they’re only for recovering from a hangover or for people who drink heavily (or at least frequently). But alcohol is just one small part of the equation. Your liver is responsible for hundreds of essential functions, including filtering waste products from the blood, processing nutrients, supporting metabolism, and producing bile. This digestive fluid helps break down fats and absorb fat-soluble vitamins. When bile secretion or liver function is less than optimal, digestion can suffer, possibly contributing to symptoms like bloating, gastrointestinal discomfort, and sluggishness.

In other words, whether you drink alcohol or not, your liver could probably use a little extra TLC—especially if you’re dealing with persistent digestive issues such as bloating, irregularity, or stomach discomfort. Vitamin Shoppe is celebrating Wellness Month this August, with a slew of products formulated to support your liver (along with digestion and metabolism). Still, our favorite is Dose For Your Liver’s liquid supplement.

Dose for Your Liver Daily Shot

See At Vitamin Shoppe

Dose For Your Liver has earned the nickname “liquid gold” for good reason. The daily wellness shot is formulated with science-backed ingredients traditionally associated with liver health, including turmeric, milk thistle, dandelion, and ginger. The formula also contains bioflavonoids and other plant compounds designed to support healthy liver function, digestion, and metabolism. Plus, it actually tastes good. The bright, citrusy flavor reminds me of the SunnyD “orange drink” I grew up on, minus the artificial ingredients and sugar overload. Instead, you’re getting a concentrated mixture of botanicals with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may help support the body’s natural detoxification processes and general digestive health.

If you’re looking to give your liver (and, by extension, your digestive system) a little extra support without adding yet another capsule to your supplement routine, Dose For Your Liver offers a convenient way to combine several popular wellness ingredients into one surprisingly delicious daily shot. Grab a bottle (or two) on sale at The Vitamin Shoppe this month.

Prison authorities have declared a mass casualty incident after a bolt of lightning saw at least 16 inmates at an Ohio correctional facility rushed to the hospital. The strike took place on Tuesday at the Grafton Reintegration Center about 30 miles outside of Cleveland. The group is understood to have been heading out of one building to eat a meal in another. Their injuries are being described as “non-life-threatening,” though some of them are said to have been “critically hurt.” A spokesperson for a local ambulance service confirmed the strike had occurred around 5.30 p.m. local time, but could not confirm the full number of people injured or their current condition. “The call that we originally got was five patients apparently struck by lightning,” they said. “What I can say is that since then, we have transported multiple patients from the facility, and a few of them were critical. I don’t have anything else on their condition at this time.” It comes as the state has been hit by a series of powerful storms, resulting in flooding that is thought to have killed at least one other person.

American troops can now buy beer, wine, ciders, and hard seltzers from the dining hall—but only at a single stateside base. Fort Hood, which is home to 38,000 troops in Central Texas, is the first dining hall to offer alcohol for sale through “42 Bistro,” according to Task & Purpose, which reports that the venue is styled to resemble a “campus-style” dining hall. “Our soldiers are adults, so we’re treating them accordingly,” Lt. Col. Joseph Payton, a spokesperson for III Corps at Fort Hood, tells Task & Purpose. “This provides another dining option for eligible patrons while maintaining the standards of responsible alcohol consumption expected across the installation.” While booze is allowed to flow at Ft. Hood, it will be far from around the clock. Alcohol purchases will be limited to 5 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from noon to 7 p.m. on weekends. A photo shared by the base shows that all drinks, including Bud Light, White Claw, and craft beers, all cost $6 and are served in either a can or a bottle.
