EDITORâS NOTE Happy Sunday. Here I was, minding my own business, when I stumbled upon one of the spiciest food fights, over who created butter chicken. Iâll let the courts decide, but thank you to whoever it is â because itâs delicious. Iâm not sure the same will be said for Coca-Cola Spiced. For now, Iâll raise a glass to being âboysober,â because who needs a man when you can just cuddle up to Build-A-Bearâs âAfter Darkâ collection?

Itâs hard to keep up with all the Travis Kelce headlines, but thereâs one getting a bit more buzz. No, not the one calling the Kansas City Chiefs tight end the ultimate âSoft Jock,â though apparently thatâs a thing. Weâre talking about the one suggesting he popularized the buzz cut fade â or, as the New York Times put it, âthe Travis Kelce.â Sure, he might have contributed to the current uptick in requests, but many were quick to call out the paper for giving âzero cultural contextâ and failing to recognize the haircutâs longstanding connection to Black culture. Others noted that media has a long history of whitewashing Black culture, especially hairstyles. In the words of one X user, itâs âthe haircut tens of millions of Black men have been getting since the â80s.â Even Kelce rejected ownership, calling it âabsolutely ridiculousâ during a press conference and insisting he âdidnât invent the fadeâ in the most recent episode of his âNew Heightsâ podcast. If only heâd be so clear about that rumored engagement⊠|

Two students meet on graduation night, sparks fly, and then we see them on the same day every year for nearly two decades, charting a will-they-wonât-they love story complicated by the ups and downs of navigating adulthood. If the plot of Netflixâs âOne Dayâ sounds familiar, thatâs probably because you either (a) read the bestselling David Nicholls book or (b) saw the film adaptation starring Anne Hathaway and Jim Sturgess. This time, though, the lovers in question are played by Leo Woodall, who was last seen trying to help his âuncleâ in âThe White Lotus,â and Ambika Mod, from âThis Is Going to Hurt,â which is actually fitting for this show, too. |

Fur Ingrown Eliminator Mitts TheSkimmâs very own Caroline Goldstein has made it a life mission to figure out what to do about ingrown hairs. The closest thing to an answer? These serum-soaked mini mitts. Slip one over your finger, run it along the ingrowns in question, and according to Caroline, the trapped hairs will be freed almost before your eyes â nearly as satisfying as watching one of those pimple-popping videos. |

Should we all be testing the limits of Costcoâs famously generous return policy? Thatâs what TikToker Jackie Nguyen did when she successfully returned a two-and-a-half-year-old couch. Without a receipt. And simply because she âjust didnât like it anymore.â Some called the move downright savage, while others chimed in with their own aggressively late success stories â including one person who apparently returned a five-year-old mattress (yes, a mattress). Who knows what the right answer is, but as Jackie said, âBuy your furniture from Costco, girl!â |

What could end up being Americaâs most expensive home has hit the market at $295 million. If youâre wondering what Katy Perryâs reported net worth will get you: A 9-acre Florida compound with a roughly 11,500-square-foot main house, a 5,800-square-foot guesthouse, and, for good measure, a second guesthouse thatâs just about as large. Plus, plenty of space for even more guesthouses, three pools, 1,650 feet of waterfront, and a private yacht basin. You know, for all your yachts. |
