What's Trending

• The World Cup is literally breaking the internet and TV ratings right now. The US Men's National Team just scored record-breaking English-language viewership for their win against Paraguay, while the Mexico vs. South Africa match became the most-watched in Spanish-language history. Soccer fever is officially taking over our timelines.

Music

• North West is officially a festival performer! The 12-year-old just delivered her first solo set at Summer Smash 2026 with Ye and Kim cheering her on. She is coming for everyone's wigs and she's not even a teenager yet.
• Lil Uzi Vert reminded everyone at Summer Smash that there is only one Uzi, completely dominating the stage and casually announcing a new album. A decade into their career and they still can't be duplicated!
• In the most random (and hilarious) crossover ever, Bruce Springsteen publicly apologized to Bono for refusing to let his song be in a Gap commercial to support Bono's AIDS charity. "I should have f—ing done it!" he said. Where do I buy the slacks, guys?

Movies & TV

• The bromance is officially dead: Seth Rogen confirmed he has "no plans" to ever work with James Franco again, telling the NY Times they haven't spoken in a "long time." It's the end of an era for their stoner comedy kingdom.
• The viral sci-fi YouTube Short "Open Door" is getting the Hollywood treatment! After pulling 15 million views, it's being adapted into a feature film with a six-figure development deal. Internet kids are officially running the industry.
• Over at the Shanghai Film Festival, Honor and Arri literally debuted a "Robot Phone" on the red carpet. Because apparently regular iPhones just aren't doing it for celebrities anymore.
• Action fans, take note: The Furious apparently spent 18 entire days just shooting its insane final brawl scene. We love a practical, unhinged, 18-day martial arts marathon.

Celebrity Tea

• Keke Palmer and "Hot Ones" host Sean Evans were spotted looking very cozy on a date night in NYC. Honestly, a duo that can bond over demonic hot chicken wings is endgame to me.
• Alix Earle is living her absolute best influencer life right now. After hanging out with F1 driver Lando Norris, she just dropped a batch of jaw-dropping selfies with her celebrity crew. She's got the receipts and the horsepower.
• Rosie O'Donnell shared an emotional update after visiting her daughter Chelsea in prison, saying she's actually doing surprisingly well behind bars. Sending so much love to their family right now.
• In a pretty bleak financial update, ex-NBA star Trevor Ariza revealed in his ongoing court battle that he's currently pulling in a four-figure monthly salary. A far, far cry from his pro-basketball paychecks—yikes.

TikTok & Internet

• Prime Day is already messing with our wallets, and TikTok is making it so much worse. There's a roundup of viral products actually worth the hype that are already on sale, so you might want to snag them before they sell out.
• An interior designer is going viral for sharing absolute game-changing hacks for fixing "ugly apartments." If you are currently suffering through a rental with ugly beige carpets, you need to run, not walk, to this video.
• Over on Reddit, creators are panicking because their views are completely dead in the water right now (we're talking single digits). The algorithm is glitching, people are getting weird mystery bookmarks, and the locals are not having a good time.
