More than half of all Canadians, or 59 percent, now say the U.S. is the biggest threat facing their country. Previously China was the top-ranked threat in Canada, according to the Pew Research Center. But as President Donald Trump has threatened to annex Canada as the 51st U.S. state and started a trade war with one of the U.S.’s most important trading partners, just 15 percent of Canadians now view China as their biggest threat. At the same time, though, a sizable minority of Canadians—or 25 percent—viewed the U.S. as both their country’s top ally and its top threat. Similar results were reported in Mexico: Sixty-eight percent of respondents viewed the U.S. as the country’s top threat, while 20 percent said it was both their top ally and their top threat, underscoring how complex the relationship is between the U.S. and its neighbors. In the U.S., China was the top-ranked threat, with 42 percent of respondents overall naming China. The results differed by party, though, with 58 percent of Republican and Republican-leaning respondents listing China. Among Democrats and people who leaned Democrat, 39 percent said Russia was the top threat, compared to 28 percent who named China.

There won’t be any Summer Lovin’ for Lorenzo Lamas. The actor, who played blond jock Tom Chisum in Grease, filed for divorce from his sixth wife due to “irreconcilable differences,” according to a TMZ report published Tuesday. Lamas, 67, married Kenna Scott in 2023, five years after his divorce from actress Shawna Craig. His seven-year marriage to Craig also ended due to the same stated reason, though it was Lamas’ longest marriage. His four wives before Craig were Shauna Sand (a Playboy model), Kathleen Kinmont (an actress and co-star of Lamas), Michele Cathy Smith (Lamas’ publicist), and Victoria Hilbert (an actress and another co-star). Lamas is best known for playing Lance Cumson on the prime-time soap opera Falcon Crest, which earned him a Golden Globe nomination and allowed him to star alongside his late mentor Jane Wyman. Lamas has also served as a judge on several game shows, including the bawdy competition show Are You Hot? That show, in which Lamas and two other judges evaluated contestants on their face, body, and sex appeal, was scrapped after one season. Lamas’ fans roundly criticized him when clips from the show were rediscovered earlier this year.

Touted for a laundry list of potential wellness benefits, including improved circulation, boosting lymphatic drainage, and even reduced back pain, it’s no surprise that vibration therapy is trending in the wellness space right now. The fundamental idea behind vibration therapy is that the vibrations cause muscle contraction just like they would if you were, say, lifting a pair of dumbbells doing bicep curls, and the claim is that these contractions help build muscle, burn fat, and promote increased lymphatic drainage just by standing on the device and feeling the vibes.

As someone who is obsessed with taking care of my lymphatic system (and looking for lazy-ish ways to boost circulation and burn calories), I purchased Lifepro’s bestselling Vibration Plate Exerciser on a whim before my wedding a couple of years ago, and while I figured it would be a gimmick, it’s one of the best wellness investments I’ve ever made. If you’re after a user-friendly yet super-powerful vibration plate that doesn’t break the bank, Lifepro’s Waver Vibration Plate Exercise Machine is the gold standard. I have had mine for over a year now, and I absolutely love it. Best of all? It’s backed by a lifetime warranty, which more than justifies the price tag, and select vibration plate models (including the OG Waver, the advanced Rumblex 4D Vibration Plate, and the Rhythm Vibration Plate Exercise Machine with Handles) are currently 20 percent off for Amazon Prime Week.

As someone who sits for at least ten hours a day, I’m always looking for low-lift ways to counteract the side effects of my very sedentary lifestyle, and this vibration device has been a major game-changer for me. I will hop on it for just ten or fifteen minutes when I feel like I’ve been sitting for too long, and it instantly reduces stiffness and muscle tension.

Plus, while the research is still divided, some experts say it can help with fat loss by burning calories, especially when you use it to complement your strength training workout. I like to stand on my vibration machine with it powered to a mid-intensity level while doing arm, ab, and leg exercises for an added boost. If you’re looking to upgrade your lymphatic support lineup, I really can’t recommend Lifepro’s vibration therapy lineup more.

Actress Jaime King is engaged to investment banker Austin Sosa just months after losing custody of her children in a bitter divorce battle, People reports. King, 46, lost custody of her sons James, 11, and Leo, 9, back in March, and was forced out of her home in Los Angeles after owing more than $42,000 in unpaid rent. Following the eviction, the actress became “very close” with boyfriend Sosa’s family, with a source telling People she had been “staying with his parents after she moved out of her Los Angeles apartment earlier this year.” She was later spotted flashing a sparkling new diamond ring on her finger while attending a hair appointment at Sally Hershberger Salon in West Hollywood on Monday. King split from ex-husband Kyle Newman in a contentious divorce in 2020 after 14 years of marriage. The embittered custody battle saw Newman granted sole custody of their children after claiming to have found King “strung-out” and “drunk” while watching their kids. She was later ordered to complete six months of rehab.

A Wimbledon commentator has apologized for repeatedly getting top soccer star Trinity Rodman’s name wrong while covering her boyfriend’s Ben Shelton game. Andrew Castle, who covers the tennis tournament for the BBC, called the Washington Spirit forward “Tiffany” multiple times as the cameras panned to her in the stands during Shelton’s fourth round match against Italy’s Lorenzo Sonego on Monday. Castle also made reference to Rodman’s estranged father, NBA legend Dennis Rodman, while discussing the 23-year old. Rodman called out Castle on Instagram for both remarks, posting on her stories that “for those who don’t know my name is TRINITY not Tiffany,” and asking why her father was being mentioned during Shelton’s game when he’s “not even in MY life, no need to bring him up during HIS matches when I don’t even want him talked about during mine.” In a statement to British newspaper The Telegraph, the BBC said that Castle is sorry for “mispronouncing” Rodman’s name, rather than getting it wrong entirely. The apology makes no reference to Castle mentioning her basketball-playing father as the “biggest wind-up merchant of all time.” Rodman started dating Shelton in March after breaking up with NFL star Trinity Benson. She is the daughter of Dennis Rodman and his third wife, Michelle Moyer.

Eating a beautiful ratatouille or potato gratin dish can be a real delight, but who wants to thin-slice all the veggies to make it? I love cooking and eating healthy, but the prep work–especially with dense vegetables—leaves my hands sore and seems to take forever. While I’m not one for cluttering the kitchen with infrequently used gadgets, one that can prep a whole meal far quicker than by hand is worth making space for. The compact Vegetable Chopper and Spiralizer is usually just $50 on Amazon, but today, you can score 50 percent off on Amazon during its Prime Day sale.

Plus, you can use it to slice eggs, meat, cheese, nuts, and other non-veggie foods, too. Honestly, it’s the most versatile kitchen gadget I own. Grab one for yourself while it’s half off.

Video footage shows the terrifying moment two college kids came within inches of one of the ocean’s most ferocious predators. Margaret Bowles, a student at Harvard University, and Maddie Cronin, who studies at the University of Toronto, were paddleboarding near a beach in New England when they saw a Great White Shark’s fin protruding from the nearby waves. Photos of the encounter show the exact moment Cronin appears to have spotted the sharp-toothed leviathan. “I see this big fin pop up next to her, it’s like 8 inches out of the water, sort of fleshy grey, and I’m like, ‘Oh my goodness, that’s a shark, we gotta go,” Bowles told local media outlet WCVB. “Fortunately we both kept our heads and made a hasty retreat to the shore on our paddleboards,” she added. Cronin went on to say she and her friend were entirely taken back by the encounter, and that the pair considered themselves lucky to have escaped. “I mean, a near miss is still a miss but we were certainly a bit surprised that we’d gotten such a close visit from a Great White Shark,” she said.

Kevin Jonas confessed that he lost “almost all” of his money after the Jonas Brothers broke up in 2013 and that it was the band’s reunion that saved him from financial ruin. Kevin, 37, joined his brothers Joe, 35, and Nick, 32, for an episode of Lewis Howes’ The School of Greatness podcast to discuss the band’s evolution. About three years after the Jonas Brothers split up the band in 2013, Kevin lost 90 percent of his wealth after he invested in “a bunch of property” and made poor business decisions. During this period, Kevin appeared on Celebrity Apprentice in 2014 for two episodes before being fired after his team lost the competition. That year, Kevin founded a food app, “Yood,” which failed. Kevin’s construction company, JonasWerner, also filed for bankruptcy in 2018. Luckily for Kevin, the band reunited in 2019 and released a hit single, “Sucker.” Kevin said it was “fortuitous” and that he had “a second shot.” The boy wonders signed with Hollywood Records in 2007 and were an immediate success, appearing and starring in multiple Disney TV programs.

Matcha tea lovers are turning on each other after a growing demand for the Japanese beverage resulted in global shortages, skyrocketing prices and gatekeeping from matcha fans accusing others of hoarding supplies. The traditional green tea’s meteoric rise in popularity has put a huge strain on the small number of Japanese vendors who produce it each year, resulting in tourists bulk-buying the product, others accusing them of hoarding it, and TikTok users who post videos of the tea-making process having the amount of powder they use to make the brew ruthlessly scrutinized by scorned matcha purists. “It’s a little bit insane that you’d see these tourists just come and buy so much that they’ll carry big bags of 50 or more tins of matcha,” travel agent Michi Sato told the Wall Street Journal, adding locals are now forced to compete with hoarders and scalpers for the historic tea. “I really am against gatekeeping in general, but I think that there’s some merit in not allowing these people to just ruin the whole culture of it,” added matcha enthusiast Ermis Vassilopoulos. But not everyone is convinced by the outrage: “Japanese people have been drinking it for centuries. They are the only ones, basically, who are allowed to be mad,” tech journalist Laura Pippig told the publication.

HBO Max is officially back on Wednesday after a two-year rebranding stint as “Max,” but the streamer has already had its first big tech snafu, as its social account wrote “twitter won’t let me change my name back,” on the platform now known as X Wednesday morning. The post comes after the initial name-change was mocked mercilessly online, and then mocked again when Warner Bros. Discovery announced in May that the platform would return to its original name. The switch officially takes effect on Wednesday, but for reasons yet to be explained, changing the name back to HBO Max on X hasn’t been as simple as updating its profile. Ironically, Twitter’s name change to X was similarly scorned in 2023. In lieu of a full name change on X, the streamer opted to change its display name to “Actually HBO Max,” and updated its profile picture to the new version of its HBO Max logo, but its username remains @streamonmax for now. On YouTube and Instagram, its handles @streamonmax successfully reverted back to @HBOMax Wednesday morning. On its X account, the streamer reacted to the snafu with a shrug: “¯\_(ツ)_/¯.”

It’s also portable (though it’s not cordless), which means you can use it to clean your car, the rug your dog just peed on, and even that filthy couch upholstery that you had no idea was filled with dust and pet dander.

The female director behind the vampire movie Twilight has revealed the pathetic gift she received from the film’s producers, Summit Entertainment, after it became a global box office smash in 2008. “I walked into a room with all these gifts, and everybody was congratulating the studio, and they gave me a box,” Catherine Hardwicke told The Guardian. “I opened it up, and it was a mini cupcake.” Hardwicke, whose other films include her critically acclaimed teenage drama debut Thirteen and skateboarding film Lords of Dogtown, suggested sexism in the movie industry is to blame for the snub. While she was awarded a cupcake as thanks for making a film that grossed more than $400 million worldwide, she noted that it is not uncommon for successful male directors to be awarded “a car, or a three-picture deal, or [getting] to do basically whatever you want.” Despite the success of Twilight, which spawned four more movies, none of which were directed by Hardwicke, the director realized an “earth-shattering reality” right away. “People aren’t going to hire more women directors. They’re not going to give you the next job and let you do something great,” she said.

Christian Horner has been fired as the principal of Red Bull’s Formula One team, a year on from an investigation into allegations of inappropriate behavior. The 51-year-old, who is married to former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, had led the racing team since its inception in 2005. His departure comes 17 months after a female colleague accused him of sexual harassment and controlling behavior, according to the BBC. An investigation following purported leaked WhatsApp messages cleared Horner, and Horner consistently denied allegations of any wrongdoing. No reason was given for his firing on Wednesday, with Red Bull thanking Horner for his work with the team. “Red Bull has released Christian Horner from his operational duties with effect from today,” the team’s parent company, Red Bull GmbH, said. “We would like to thank Christian Horner for his exceptional work over the last 20 years,” Oliver Mintzlaff, Red Bull’s chief executive of corporate projects and investments, said in a statement. According to the BBC, Horner is being courted by Mercedes for a potential role next season.
