Austin Powers star Mike Myers has confirmed the production of another sequel to the film series. When asked by a fan on Trevor Noah’s YouTube series, World Cup Watch Party, if there would be a fourth movie, Myers responded with a quick and assuring “yes.” “Wow, that was a quick yes,” Noah responded. The announcement comes after years of anticipation, with Myers, 63, dropping hints about a fourth movie for years. In a 2022 SiriusXM interview, Myers, who also voices the titular character Shrek in the Shrek series, left the door open for new additions to the series. “I can neither confirm nor deny the existence or non-existence of such a project, should it exist or not exist.” The actor later said to Entertainment Weekly in 2024 that “I hinted at that possibility earlier. And I’ve generally avoided spilling the beans about specific plans.” The comedic series, with movies released in 1997, 1999, and 2002, follows British spy Austin Powers and his nemesis, Dr. Evil, as they time travel from the 1960s to the 1990s and 2000s. Myers plays both roles in the three films, which grossed more than $500 million. Fans are generally excited about the update, having waited 24 years for another film. “It will be interesting to see if the original writers and director(s) will be on this project,” one user commented on a post made by Variety on X, announcing the newest sequel. Another user said, “This hits different.”

Colton Underwood, 34, is opening up about the lengths he went to conceal his sexuality before publicly coming out as gay in 2021. Speaking on the We Need to Talk podcast, the former football player and reality television star revealed that he limited his encounters with men who were married in an effort to protect himself from being outed. “They had more to lose than I did,” Underwood said. He feared that public revelation about his sexuality could damage both his football aspirations and later his television career. Underwood first entered the reality television world on Becca Kufrin’s season of The Bachelorette before becoming the lead of The Bachelor in 2019. The long-running dating series follows a single man as he dates multiple women over several weeks before choosing a potential fiancée in the finale. During his season, Underwood became known as the “Virgin Bachelor” after producers highlighted the fact that he had never had sex. Underwood said that the storyline overshadowed the deeper reason behind his decision to remain a virgin. “There were so many reasons why I was a virgin… obviously, the one that I didn’t tell publicly was my struggle with my sexuality.” He also admitted that becoming The Bachelor was, in part, an attempt to convince himself he was straight. “I’m going to be so publicly straight that I will never be able to be gay again,” he recalled thinking. Underwood publicly came out as gay in 2021 and is now married to political strategist Jordan C. Brown-Underwood. The couple welcomed their son, Bishop Colton Brown-Underwood, via surrogacy on Sept. 26, 2024.

Getting solid sleep feels like a real luxury these days. Whether you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep through the night, if you’ve been struggling with getting shut-eye, you’re not alone. A 2024 Gallup poll found that 73 percent of respondents reported getting less than 8 hours of sleep per night, and 57 percent said they would feel better if they got more sleep.

Whether prescription or over-the-counter, most sleep aids can help you knock out, but often come with less-than-ideal side effects, such as next-morning grogginess and brain fog. CBDistillery’s sleep gummies help you get to sleep without the side effects.

Unlike standard cannabis gummies, CBDistillery’s sleep gummies combine three types of cannabinoids: THC, CBD, and CBN (a cannabinoid known for its calming, sleep-supporting properties). CBDistillery’s bestselling gummies combine 5mg of Delta-9 THC, 75mg of CBD, and 15mg of CBN for full-body relaxation without feeling dissociated, starving, or overly... giggly.

If you prefer to stay THC-free, the brand’s Sound Sleep gummies skip it entirely, containing only 50mg of CBN in a delish black cherry flavor.

Jelly Roll’s daughter Bailee Ann,18, is speaking out after news broke that the country star filed for divorce from his wife, Bunnie Xo. In a TikTok post shared on Tuesday, she criticized the public’s fascination with her family’s personal struggles. “I am disgusted at how invested everyone is in a very clearly private family matter,” she wrote. “Worry bout your house—not mine. I’m not speaking on it—yet.” Court records show Jelly Roll filed for divorce from Xo, real name Alisa DeFord, in Tennessee on May 18, citing irreconcilable differences after 10 years of marriage. The split surprised many fans, as the pair had been together for more than a decade and continued to share affectionate posts on social media. Jelly Roll, 41, and Xo, 46, married in 2016 at a Las Vegas courthouse, the same day that the singer proposed on stage during a concert. Xo has been open about her past as a high-end sex worker and has said the income she earned helped Jelly Roll secure custody of Bailee and provide housing during a difficult period in his life. Jelly Roll has two children, Bailee Ann and son Noah Buddy, 9, from previous relationships. The couple faced several public challenges throughout their relationship, including fertility struggles and past infidelity, but had recently spoken about plans to expand their family. Neither Jelly Roll nor Bunnie Xo has publicly commented on the divorce.

Walter Parazaider, founding member of the rock band Chicago, died Wednesday morning from Alzheimers, according to his wife. “He had put up a good fight with Alzheimer’s and unfortunately it ended tonight,” Parazaider’s wife, JacLynn, said to TMZ. “We are going to miss him for sure.” The father of two founded the band The Big Thing in 1967, which became Chicago in 1969. As a saxophone player, he was a key member of the band’s brass/woodwind section, playing alongside Lee Loughnane and James Pankow, before retiring in 2016. Six years ago, he was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and died in hospice early Wednesday morning with his wife by his side. “Chicago’s horn section was untouchable because of Walter,” one user commented on a tweet posted by TMZ announcing the musician’s death. “Rest easy legend, your music lives on forever.” Parazaider leaves behind his wife JacLynn, whom he was married to for 59 years, and their two children, Laura and Felicia.

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.

A Florida man was arrested and charged with driving under the influence after troopers pulled him over for speeding and discovered 34 open cans of White Claw in his car. According to the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP), a trooper was patrolling Pasco County on Saturday when he spotted a Honda Civic traveling over the speed limit, at more than 90 mph. Investigators said the vehicle sped past the trooper, who then conducted a traffic stop. During the stop, the trooper determined that the driver was heavily intoxicated, the FHP said. Authorities also found 34 open White Claw cans on the passenger seat of the vehicle. The driver was identified as Conor William Parady, 34, of San Antonio. The FHP said he was taken to Pasco County Jail with a blood alcohol level of 0.117. Florida’s legal blood alcohol limit for drivers is 0.08.

Boston, Massachusetts, is running out of booze thanks to the invading Tartan Army. Beered-up Scotland fans have brought bars to their knees, with one manager saying she has “never seen anything like it.” Scotland’s soccer fans have won over the nation with their good-spirited national pride, which they have rolled out on a grand scale around Beantown. More than 20,000 fans are thought to have piled into the city to revel in their team’s first World Cup since 1998, and they’ve done such a good job of it that it is running out of beer. Speaking to the Boston Globe, Hennessy’s Bar COO Noelle Somers said boozing in the aftermath of Scotland v Haiti had tripled that of St. Patrick’s Day. “We’ve been here for over 30 years, and we’ve never seen anything like it,” she said. Sam Adams Brewery said it, too, is running low, with team member Billy DeCain telling NBC Boston: “We’ve never seen anything like it.” There have been Airbnbs adorned with flags with bagpipes playing in the morning. Even Barstool Sports frontman Dave Portnoy has gone online to swoon over their enthusiasm.

Rapper Mystikal will spend the next 20 years in a Louisiana prison cell after a third-degree rape conviction. The Grammy-nominated performer, 55, born Michael Tyler, was arrested in 2022 after the injured woman named him to detectives at the hospital. In court on Tuesday, she recounted being beaten, choked, and assaulted, and pressed the judge for the toughest possible term. “If I did that to you, I deserve the max sentence,” the rapper replied. His third-degree conviction carries a maximum sentence of 25 years and bars early release. A March plea deal shrank an original first-degree count, which carries a life term. Days before the hearing, his lawyer’s move to scrap the plea collapsed. His original charge slate spanned first-degree rape, robbery, strangulation, and false imprisonment. The 2022 assault unfolded at his home in Prairieville, roughly 18 miles outside Baton Rouge. It is not Tyler’s first prison term for a sex crime; he was imprisoned for six years over a 2003 sexual battery plea and remains on the sex-offender registry.

A routine hike turned terrifying on Mount Si in Washington state on Tuesday when a bear charged at a group of teenage hikers, injuring two of them. The King County Sheriff’s Office said the group was on a trail east of Seattle when they encountered the animal. Officials said the bear charged, causing the hikers to scatter. One teenager became separated from the group and was later heard screaming before managing to return, injured from what authorities described as a bear attack. A second teen was hurt while fleeing, twisting an ankle in a fall. Search and rescue teams were called to the scene and worked alongside deputies to bring the injured teen down the mountain using an ATV. Authorities said the victim was able to walk with assistance. One of the teens was then taken to hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Mount Si trails were shut down as wildlife officers searched the area for the bear. Officials noted that bear sightings are not unusual in the region, but attacks are rare, especially involving groups.

For more than three decades, PCA Skin has set the standard for professional chemical peels. Now, the brand is translating its signature triple-exfoliation technology into an at-home format with its new Triple Exfoliation Peel Pads. Formulated to mimic your skin’s natural renewal process, the pads harness physical, chemical, and enzymatic exfoliation to gently smooth texture, soften fine lines and wrinkles, reduce redness, and minimize the appearance of enlarged pores—all without stripping the skin of its natural oils. Each dual-sided pad features a textured side that helps manually resurface the skin without causing barrier damage or irritation, while the smooth side helps restore hydration for an instant, post-facial-level glow.

Aside from a targeted blend of AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs, the pads are also infused with niacinamide, peptides, and licorice root extract to help calm the skin and counteract any potential irritation from the exfoliants. As someone with sensitive skin, I’m always hesitant to incorporate new exfoliants into my routine. I turn tomato-red when someone merely looks at me, so naturally, I’m fairly discerning when it comes to active-soaked peel pads. Plus, the thought of using a physical exfoliant instantly takes me back to that ubiquitous apricot scrub from my youth that practically tore my skin apart.

Now, I also grew up in sunny San Diego in the 2000s, when coconut-scented tanning oils were far more popular than sunscreen, which means I have plenty of UV-induced hyperpigmentation to tackle. As a longtime fan of PCA Skin’s gentle, reactive-skin-friendly formulas, I was thrilled to try the new peel pads ahead of launch.

I’ve been using the pads every morning for about two weeks and, unlike so many other exfoliants I’ve tried over the years, these don’t cause my skin to freak out—in fact, they somehow seem to soothe it. My skin has been especially red and sensitive lately thanks to seasonal allergies, and these feel as though they’re strengthening my skin barrier rather than breaking it down. Plus, while it’s still early, I’ve noticed that the “halo” sun spots along my temples seem less pronounced.

Dullness has also been a top concern for me lately, and after just one use, my skin looked visibly brighter, more radiant, and noticeably healthier. In fact, I had a facial booked last week to help revive my lackluster complexion, and I ended up canceling it.

If you’re looking for a one-and-done treatment that delivers professional-level results in a single swipe (without the irritation), PCA Skin’s new Triple Exfoliation Peel Pads are a true triple threat.

A three-year-old child was among 1,566 people arrested by ICE on the single most prolific day of President Donald Trump’s second-term deportation drive, immigration data analyzed by PunchUp reveals. Trump, 79, had vowed his immigration crackdown would target “the worst of the worst,” but the June 4, 2025, sweep took more people into custody in 24 hours than at any other point in either of his terms, the Beast’s sister investigation Substack outlet, PunchUp, found in its analysis of the figures. ICE has averaged 630 arrests a day this term, roughly 45 percent above the pace of his first-term peak. The numbers come from 505,000 ICE I-213 forms released by The Guardian after litigation by the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press. They dwarf former President Joe Biden’s record. His busiest single day, on Nov. 1, 2022, saw 803 arrests—barely half of Trump’s June 4 total. The three-year-old, an Ecuadorian, was one of three children swept up at 26 Federal Plaza in Lower Manhattan, an ICE field office where immigrants attend check-ins. Each was handed a “Bag and Baggage” final removal order, the most severe disposition of all. None had been accused of any crime. A spokesperson for DHS said the agency only began tracking full administrative arrests in Trump’s second term, making any earlier comparison “misleading.”

Robert Thurman, the Buddhist scholar, translator, and father of actress Uma Thurman, died Tuesday morning at his home in Woodstock, New York, aged 84. Born in New York City in 1941, Thurman became one of America’s foremost interpreters of Tibetan Buddhism, holding Columbia University’s Je Tsongkhapa chair in Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Studies across three decades before stepping down in 2019. He was widely believed to be the first Westerner the Dalai Lama ordained into the Tibetan Buddhist monastic tradition, a path he embraced in the 1960s after an accident cost him the sight in one eye, prompting him to leave Harvard and travel overland to India. After three years as a monk, he returned to lay life, married Nena von Schlebrügge, a Swedish-German model, and raised five children, including Uma. Time named him one of its 25 Most Influential Americans in 1997, and India honored him with the Padma Shri in 2020. He co-founded the New York nonprofit Tibet House US in 1987 alongside actor Richard Gere and composer Philip Glass. Tibet House US, which announced his death, said the family had requested privacy.
