What's Trending

Usher really said "watch this" and flashed his bare cheeks onstage during his tour with Chris Brown. There's video. It's out there. The man is committed to the bit and honestly? Respect. Meanwhile, an unedited photo of Zendaya's legs at The Odyssey premiere has people losing their minds in the best way — real skin, pores and all, and the internet is actually having a healthy conversation about it for once. And Vanessa Hudgens posted a seemingly shady TikTok about High School Musical that has everyone going "wait, what do you MEAN?!" We need answers, Vanessa.

Music

Beyoncé pulled a classic Beyoncé and surprise-dropped "Morning Dew (Donk)," which just crashed into the R&B/Hip-Hop Top 10 at No. 7 — her first top 10 hit on that chart in three years. The woman does not miss. Noah Kahan took over Wrigley Field in Chicago and immediately roasted the crowd about ketchup on hot dogs, because of course he did. Suki Waterhouse dropped her new album Loveland and says opening for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour is 100% influencing her next live show — so expect bigger and sparklier things ahead. In happier-sadder news, Ronan Keating opened up about how songwriting has helped him grieve, and his new music is apparently deeply personal. Also, Zara dropped a Hannah Montana perfume for under $25 and it's giving "Best of Both Worlds" energy on a budget. Run, don't walk.

Movies & TV

Shailene Woodley and Ben Foster are starring in Motor City, a near-silent thriller that's being described as "a Scorsese opera without dialogue," and early reviews are calling it the arrival of a startling new voice in cinema. Intriguing! Over at Locarno, Belgian filmmaker Fabrice du Welz is heading up the international competition jury, and a new documentary called The Illusion of an Everlasting Summer is already generating buzz. Netflix's One Hundred Years of Solitude star Claudio Cataño has started filming a new international feature, La Puta Vida, in Chile. And if horror is your thing, Black Mandala just acquired a slate of five new horror films including slasher flicks, cartel nightmares, and a British folk monster situation. Sleep is overrated anyway.

Celebrity Tea

Victoria Beckham's animated reaction to England's World Cup goal is going viral — especially because last week she sparked a moment for her muted reactions. Posh Spice is out here having a full character arc at the World Cup and we're here for every second of it. In tribute news, Jimmy Barnes shared a beautiful remembrance of his late friend Sam Neill, calling him "family." And Hal Williams, beloved star of 227 and Sanford and Son, has passed away at 91. A long, full life and a proper TV legend. Also, there's a whole listicle making the rounds about celebrity scandals that were totally blown out of proportion — Number 8 is apparently a hill someone is willing to die on, and now we're all curious.

TikTok & Internet

People are sharing the things that were "totally amazing" before they got popular and humans ruined them — and honestly, same. The thread hits hard if you've ever watched your favorite quiet vacation spot become an Instagram pilgrimage site. There's also a deeply relatable conversation happening about "fancy" foods older generations rarely had in their pantries growing up. Brie was a LUXURY, apparently. And for the quiz girlies: you can now build a dream baby nursery to find out which cookie you are, or pick fruits and vegetables to reveal your soulmate's first initial. The internet remains delightfully unhinged, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
