Actor Hal Williams, whose steady screen presence made him a sitcom staple for decades, has died at 91. Williams, best known for playing Officer “Smitty” Smith on the hit 1970s comedy Sanford and Son, died of natural causes at his home in Rancho Mirage, California, on Wednesday morning, his manager, Zna Portlock Houston, told TMZ. Houston said Williams had experienced health issues and felt tired after returning from Ohio, where he attended a Sanford and Son reunion with former co-star Howard Platt. Williams launched his television career in 1972 with the show, starring alongside Redd Foxx and Demond Wilson. He went on to land major roles on The Waltons and 227, while appearing in dozens of other TV series, including Good Times, Hill Street Blues, Magnum P.I., Night Court, and L.A. Law. His film credits included Hardcore, The Rookie, and Flight. Just days before his death, Williams reflected on why Sanford and Son still resonates with audiences. “Because the humor was so real and wasn’t artificial, and it was just generally funny, funny, funny, one laugh after another all the time,” he said.

Aubrie Greene, the CEO of Breezzy’s Lemonade, was fatally shot while driving, just weeks after his high school graduation. Police responded to a car crash in a residential neighborhood in Richmond, Virginia, where they found the 17-year-old suffering from a gunshot wound. He succumbed to injuries days later in the hospital. Greene’s car crashed into the shed of a home after he was shot. His mother, Ceydria McCray, posted to Instagram on Wednesday: “We never imagined Breezy not being here with us. Born Aubrie and in 17 years became a legend in our city King Breezy(CEO) Breezy we miss you so much and there’s many questions as of why.” Greene started his lemonade business when he was only 11 years old, landing his homemade product on supermarket shelves. When the business launched, Breezzy’s Lemonade had three flavors, before expanding to 10 flavors by 2022. No arrests have been made in the deadly shooting.

Whether you’re acne-prone, have sensitive skin, or are always looking to amp up hydration, there’s a reason EltaMD’s SPF lineup is the number one dermatologist-recommended professional sunscreen brand. Each of its non-comedogenic, whitecast-proof mineral sunscreens is formulated not only to shield your skin from UV damage and environmental aggressors, but also to improve it with regular use. EltaMD’s non-comedogenic formulas combine broad-spectrum protection with complexion-supporting ingredients that help your skin look and feel better with consistent use. My current favorite, EltaMD’s UV Daily Hydration+ SPF 50, is a true triple threat, combining the benefits of a moisturizer, hyaluronic acid serum, and daily sunscreen in one lightweight formula.

Unlike many mineral sunscreens that leave dry patches and crepey skin begging for an extra layer of moisturizer, this silky formula is infused with hyaluronic acid to help lock in hydration for up to 24 hours while visibly plumping fine lines, softening the look of wrinkles, and smoothing dry patches—all without feeling heavy, greasy, or leaving behind that dreaded sunscreen film.

The mineral-based formula uses invisible zinc oxide technology, so it blends seamlessly into the skin without the ghostly cast commonly associated with traditional mineral SPFs. It’s also available in both clear and tinted versions, making it easy to find a finish that works with your complexion and routine.

Of course, the real selling point is the skincare-meets-sun-care benefits. The Daily Hydration+ SPF 50 is clinically shown to improve visible dryness by 75 percent, the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by 20 percent, and skin plumpness by 19 percent. In other words, it’s not just a sunscreen you tolerate because you know you’re supposed to wear SPF every day—it’s a formula you’ll actually look forward to applying.

Actress Maggie Grace quietly filed papers last year to end her seven-year marriage. The Lost actress, who played Shannon Rutherford on the hit TV series, quietly split from her husband, Brent Bushnell, in May 2025, according to documents seen by Page Six this week. The papers apparently show that the couple had been living at separate residences since October 2024, which they recorded as their official separation date. The 42-year-old actress, who also starred as Kim Mills in all three installments of the Taken movie franchise, also requested to legally change her name back to Margaret Grace Ives. Grace and Bushnell have two children. Their son was four, and their daughter was one at the time of the split. She retains primary custody of both kids. Neither Grace nor Bushnell has commented publicly about their divorce. Page Six notes she had been engaged to filmmaker Matthew Cooke prior to marrying Bushnell.

Leroy Garrett from The Challenge says he has contracted cyclosporiasis, the “explosive diarrhea” bug that has spread across the United States in recent weeks. “This past weekend, I spent the majority of my time on my toilet,” he said in an Instagram video on Wednesday. Garrett and his wife, fellow The Challenge star Kam Williams, live with their two kids in Michigan, one of the 34 states that have confirmed cases of the disease. Michigan has the highest number of cases at 3,762, as reported by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. The state’s health officials have not determined the cause of the surge in cases, but the department has warned Michigan residents about a possible link to lettuce. The star admitted he had “explosive, vicious” diarrhea so bad that he thought he might have to go to the emergency room. “It feel like you got Timberlands in a dryer inside your stomach,” Garrett said. “Imagine putting some Timberlands in a dryer. You know what that would sound like? That’s what your stomach sounds and feels like.”

Married to Medicine star Colin Dias is denying any involvement in the murder-for-hire plot aimed at his ex-wife, Lia Jones. Dias’ lawyer, Robert Eisfelder, told TMZ in a statement on Wednesday that Jones made false claims in her domestic violence restraining order filing against him on Monday. Jones told the court that Dias asked a neighbor “what would it cost to get rid of” her and had been “actively looking and recruiting” for a person to do the job. Eisfelder denied all the allegations against Dias and noted that his client had been granted sole legal and physical custody of the former couple’s two children. In an April court filing regarding the custody of the children, Dias made allegations of domestic violence against Jones, including an instance of Jones punching Dias in the stomach with a closed fist on May 19, 2021, while he was recovering from surgery. Dias obtained a restraining order against Jones on November 10, 2021, and a criminal protective order on April 19, 2022. Jones was arrested four months later after violating the criminal order. Jones and Dias’s divorce was officially settled in 2023 and included therapy, a domestic violence course that spanned 52 weeks, completion of an anger management program, and a parenting course for Jones. Married to Medicine follows the lives of women who are either doctors themselves or the wives of doctors. Dias is a physician and surgeon with over 23 years of experience.

The U.S. Navy’s elite Blue Angels squadron is reviewing one of its own jets after it roared so low over a beach that it sent chairs and umbrellas flying. The Wednesday-morning stunt happened during a “Breakfast with the Blues” event at Florida’s Pensacola Beach on the Gulf Coast barrier island of Santa Rosa, as reported by ABC News. Footage of the pass went viral across social media.

In a statement, the squadron said an aircraft “flew lower than standard profiles” during an arrival maneuver, calling it a “low-altitude pass” that caused “a disturbance on the beach that affected civilian chairs and umbrellas.” Ashley Korn was stunned. “I’ve been coming for 10 years and I’ve never seen a pass like that in my life,” she told North Florida ABC affiliate WEAR-TV. “I literally thought we were going to be taken out by Blue Angels, but it was amazing.” The squadron said the safety of its community, spectators, and pilots is its “highest priority,” adding that leadership is conducting “a thorough safety review.” Whether anyone faces consequences may depend on who is watching. When eight South Carolina National Guard Apache pilots were grounded over a low July Fourth flyover, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, 46, intervened within hours, posting on social media, “We’ll fix this. Carry on, Patriots,” before the suspensions were lifted.

Passengers on a Ryanair flight feared for their lives after violent turbulence sent travelers and crew members crashing into the cabin ceiling, forcing the aircraft to divert to France for an emergency landing. Flight FR 9887 was traveling from Alicante, Spain, to Liverpool in the U.K. when it was rocked by severe midair turbulence shortly after departure, dropping 300 feet in a matter of seconds. The plane was rerouted to Nantes, where emergency crews treated injured passengers and crew members after landing. One passenger described a terrifying ordeal, telling the Liverpool Echo the aircraft suddenly dropped and people were left “screaming and crying” as they were thrown upward. “We all thought we were going to die,” the passenger said. Drinks and belongings flew across the cabin, with some passengers covered in spilled coffee. One traveler was taken away on a stretcher after she hit the roof of the aircraft, while a man was left in a neck brace, and a flight attendant was hospitalized with a knee injury. Passengers later waited in the terminal before boarding a replacement aircraft to continue their journey to the U.K.

Britney Spears has sent fans into detective mode after posting a cryptic message alongside a baby outfit that appeared to hint at a major personal announcement. The 44-year-old singer shared an Instagram post saying, “If you’re lucky I have someone unbelievably beautiful I want to introduce you to… hopefully🤞 this year 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️ and if not the most beautiful things will never be seen!!!!!” She added, “Come what may… oh so near but the feet I feel lived too much in fear so the soil of ground that silence suspends is where I’m found yet there begin!!!! It’s in the silence!!!!!!” The accompanying image showed a baby outfit with the words “Phoenix has arrived” printed across the shirt. A Jewish holy book was also partially visible, while later images in the carousel featured Spears’ sons, Sean Preston Federline and Jayden James Federline. With comments disabled on Spears’ Instagram page, fans flocked to X to debate the meaning of the post. Some believed it was a pregnancy announcement, while others wondered whether a relative was expecting. Others pointed to Spears recently being seen traveling with a car seat. No explanation has been given.

Finding the right bronzer can be surprisingly tricky… especially if you have mature, dry, or fair skin. Many powder formulas are too matte, settling into (and even emphasizing) fine lines, texture, and pores, while creams and liquids tend to lack the staying power to make them worth applying in the first place. Even if your goal isn’t to look more tan, the right bronzer can make a huge difference in your complexion. A good formula adds warmth back into the skin, creates subtle definition without the harshness of contour, and gives you a healthy, well-rested glow (even if you definitely did not get eight hours of sleep).

Summer Fridays’ skincare-powered Bronzer Butter Balm hits the sweet spot between a cream and a powder bronzer, delivering an ultra-forgiving, endlessly buildable wash of color that nourishes the skin while softly blurring texture. In other words, if bronzer has always intimidated you (or you’ve been burned by chalky powders, muddy shades, or creams that disappear before noon), this buttery formula will make you rethink the category.

Unlike most balms, creams, and liquids, Bronzer Butter Balm stays put for up to 12 hours, which is a rarity outside the world of powders and long-wearing matte formulas. It’s made with an innovative emulsion technology that melts effortlessly into the skin before self-setting for all-day wear. You get plenty of time to blend and perfect, but when it’s set, it truly stays put, which is a huge plus for summer heat waves and humidity.

Available in six shades, the Bronzer Butter Balm is infused with a cocktail of skincare ingredients, including ceramides, peptides, and essential fatty acids, to help plump the appearance of fine lines, smooth the appearance of skin texture, and lock in moisture. It’s also packed with shea, mango seed, and illipe butters, giving it a velvety, second-skin finish that never feels greasy or heavy. If you’re into low-maintenance makeup that’s basically impossible to mess up, this is the fuss-free bronzer of your dreams. There’s no streaking, no patchiness, and no orange surprises that require an instant double cleanse to correct. ​

Former New York congressman and prison inmate George Santos is pivoting to a new career in reality television after his scandal-filled time in politics. Santos is continuing to fall from grace by announcing he is set to appear in the fifth season of Fox’s Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test, where contestants face extreme challenges such as being subjected to chemical gassing. Santos, who was expelled from the House in December 2023 while facing criminal fraud charges amid a string of other ethical violations, announced the news in a social media post. “I took my fat behind off the couch and tried something new! And it changed EVERYTHING!” Santos wrote while sharing a promotional photo of himself trying to look tough and wearing camouflage gear. Santos is set to appear in the show alongside celebrities such as actor Ruby Rose and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville. Santos was sentenced to seven years in prison after pleading guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. However, he was locked up for just 84 days after his sentence was commuted by President Donald Trump.

A bodyguard who worked with celebrities including Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton has died in a car accident. Mason Haynes was 52 when he died on July 4 in a traffic accident, two days before his birthday. According to a GoFundMe established to support his family with funeral costs and financial pressures, Haynes leaves behind his wife Fay, daughter Brooke, and son Noah. Haynes is described as a protector and mentor, as well as a prankster and a “giant in every sense of the word, with an even bigger heart.” In addition to the Kardashian family, Haynes had worked with such stars as Kevin Hart, Nicki Minaj, and Charlie Puth. Haynes’ employer, Trojan Security UK, shared a photo of Haynes working with Kris Jenner in tribute to him, writing, “We would like to pay homage to an absolute legend in the Close Protection game. Big Mason. Gone too soon. Rest easy and fly high Brother 🕊️” One friend quoted in the GoFundMe’s description said that “the world has been robbed of that rare thing… a genuinely good man.”
