France’s ongoing heat wave has turned deadly, with at least 40 people drowning over the past five days. Soaring temperatures pushed many residents to seek relief in lakes, canals, and other unsupervised swimming areas. French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced the death toll during an emergency Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, describing the number as a “tragic scourge.” Officials said most of the victims were young people, including many teenagers, swimming in bodies of water without lifeguards or safety supervision. Marina Ferrari, a government official in France, warned that swimming in unsupervised areas can be especially dangerous during extreme heat events. The fatalities come as France endures one of its most intense heat waves in history. More than half of the country remains under the highest-level heat alert, with temperatures expected to reach 104 degrees Fahrenheit in Paris and as high as 109 degrees in parts of central France. Weather officials said France also recorded its hottest night since national measurements began in 1947. Forecasters attribute the extreme conditions to a powerful “heat dome” that has trapped hot air across much of Europe.

‘4CHAN EDGELORD BULLY’

Halsey didn’t mince words with a music critic whose two-year-old review, she said, made him seem like a “raised-by-4chan edgelord bully.” In a Sunday night tirade, the 31-year-old pop star railed against YouTuber Anthony Fantano’s dismal 1-out-of-10 review of her 2024 album, The Great Impersonator. “I’m certain my least memorable song will be remembered more fondly and for more time than anything you ever do with your life will be,” Halsey wrote in a quote tweet responding to Fantano’s earlier post, which said, “if they’re more into the review than the album 🤭.” She continued, “Everything you say is more ‘whiny’ and ‘edgy’ than I was at any point on that album. But at least I had the excuse of going through chemo,” referring to her battle with blood cancer during the writing of the album. Fantano, 40, attempting to lower the temperature, replied, “flattered to be on your radar, queen 🙌,” to which Halsey called him an “edgelord bully” and accused him of playing a “facade as a pro critic,” adding that he was wrong to say it’s “‘main character syndrome’ for an artist to lament her medical suffering on an album (surprise!) about her own life.” The critic, who runs the YouTube channel The Needle Drop, said the collection of songs had “the worst case of ‘main character syndrome’ I’ve heard on any pop album in 2024.”

Parents don’t want to call their children “Donald,” according to new Social Security Administration data. While President Donald Trump is known for branding everything with his name, American parents appear far less enthusiastic about passing it on. The data, reviewed by NOTUS, shows that the baby name “Donald” fell to its lowest point in U.S. history in 2025. The name peaked in 1934, when more than 30,400 American babies were named Donald, and it remained in the top 100 for decades before steadily dropping in popularity as Trump rose to national prominence. The name ranked No. 263 in 2004 during The Apprentice, fell to No. 415 in 2013 when Trump entered the WWE Hall of Fame, and slipped to No. 489 in 2016 during his first presidential victory. It briefly ticked up in 2017 before resuming its slide, losing more than 200 ranking places by 2025 and becoming the 690th most popular baby name. In Florida, Trump’s home state, just 21 newborn boys were named Donald last year.

Jill Smokler, the mommy blogger behind the site Scary Mommy, died on Monday after a two-year-long battle with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer. She was 48. Smokler’s family announced her passing on her website on Monday. “Jill spent her life telling the truth about motherhood—that it could be wonderful and impossible in the very same breath—and in doing so, she gave millions of women permission to stop pretending and feel a little less alone,” her family wrote. “We are heartbroken to lose her, and endlessly proud of the mark she left on the world.” The Massachusetts-born writer became a mainstay of the mommy-blogging community after her blog, Scary Mommy, gained runaway success following its launch in 2008. She turned that success into two New York Times bestsellers, Confessions of a Scary Mommy and Motherhood Comes Naturally (and Other Vicious Lies), in the early 2010s, and became a voice for moms everywhere, often appearing on shows like Good Morning America. The mother of three was diagnosed with glioblastoma in 2024, writing on Instagram at the time, “Glioblastoma was not on my 2024 bingo card, alas here we are. Life changes fast, friends.” Smokler is survived by her children, Lily, Ben, and Evan, and her ex-husband, Jeff Smokler, from whom she separated in March 2017.

A 26-year-old former Wimbledon champion has been handed a four-year ban from professional tennis for refusing a doping test. Czech player Markéta Vondroušová, the 2023 Wimbledon champion and 2020 Olympic silver medalist, failed to submit a sample after a Doping Control Officer arrived at her home for an out-of-competition test around 8 p.m. in December 2025, instead signing a refusal form, the International Tennis Integrity Agency said. During a hearing before an independent tribunal that ultimately handed down the suspension, Vondroušová said that stress and poor mental health had affected her decision-making, alongside concerns for her safety, claiming the tester did not clearly identify herself, according to The Athletic. However, the tribunal concluded that Vondroušová, who attained a career-high ranking of world No. 6, offered “no compelling justification” for refusing the test. “I have never doped. I have never had a positive test,” Vondroušová wrote in an Instagram post after the ban was announced. “Just three days after the incident that ultimately changed my life, I was tested again. The result was negative. Just like every test before it.” Vondroušová’s ban expires June 21, 2030, meaning she will be nearly 31 years old when she is allowed to compete again.

Venice is planning to jack up the price of a controversial entrance fee for day-trippers to the tourist hot spot by 900 percent. Famous for its canals and romantic gondola rides, the city in northeastern Italy became the first tourist destination in the world to charge an entry fee during peak periods in 2024. The levy expanded to 54 dates last year, and this year, it covers 60 dates during the peak tourist season. The new mayor of Venice, Italy, now wants to hike the tourist fee to visit Venice by 900 percent, from €5 ($5.70) to €50 ($57.10). Simone Venturini, who was elected as mayor last month, said the proposal was aimed at further discouraging arrivals “during periods of heightened tourist pressure,” according to the Guardian. The fund created over $2.7 million in its first year, with Venturini saying the money generated from the planned fee increase would be used “to finance city services and support the maintenance and protection of a unique city, built on water, whose costs exceed €100m ($114m) each year." The fee is payable online and does not apply to people booking an overnight stay in Venice or to children under the age of 14. Venturini, a right-wing former tourism councilor, said the admission fee “is currently the only effective tool to control daily visitor numbers.” His proposal will now be sent to the Italian government and parliament.

A 51-year-old man who fell to his death Saturday night at Madison Square Garden while attending a Goose concert has been identified as a father of two. Paul Kueker and his wife were celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary when their night took an unexpected and tragic turn. “He has two children, a beautiful wife, and he took care of me like I was a piece of gold,” Kueker’s mother, Patricia Finelli, tearfully told the New York Post. The victim’s mother also reported that her son left to use the bathroom and never returned, concerning his wife, who was later informed by police of what had happened. The Connecticut resident and senior manager at Smartcon fell from the Chase Bridge in the famous New York City arena at around 10 p.m. as the concert was ongoing. “Paul meant the world to everyone at Smartcon,” general manager William Brown said following Kueker’s death. The members of Goose were unaware of the incident until after the commencement of their 16-song setlist around midnight. “We are deeply saddened and heartbroken to learn of the tragic event that occurred at tonight’s show,” said a statement posted to the band’s official Instagram account. “We extend our deepest sympathy to everyone affected.”

Romeo Beckham, the son of soccer star David Beckham and Spice Girls alum Victoria Beckham, is forging his own path to Hollywood. The 23-year-old is set to make his acting debut in the upcoming feature film Forty Love, starring alongside Paul Kircher, Guillaume Canet, and Benjamin Voisin. Directed by Pierre-Ange Carlotti, the film tells the story of tennis icon Sacha Gallo as he faces an up-and-coming rival, played by Romeo, and ends with him facing an “opponent of an entirely different nature—love,” the synopsis reads. The nepo-baby is fresh off his 2024 retirement from soccer, having previously played for Brentford FC’s reserve team. He’s also had a successful career in modeling for luxury brands such as Yves Saint Laurent and Balenciaga. The Beckham family has been in the headlines over the past year after his brother, Brooklyn Beckham, alleged in December 2025 that their parents, David and Victoria, have “consistently disrespected” him and his wife, Nicola Peltz.

Touted for a laundry list of potential wellness benefits, including improved circulation, boosted 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 Waver Vibration Plate Exerciser on a whim before my wedding a few 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 almost four years, 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 up to 20 percent off during Lifepro and Amazon’s Prime Day sales.

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. I also depend on it for depuffing when I’m feeling bloated or swollen, and it works like a charm.

Plus, while the research is still divided, some experts say it may help with fat loss by reducing water weight, especially when used to complement your strength training workout. I like to stand on my vibration machine 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. Find out what all of the hype is about while they’re on sale this week.

Australian police have called in the military to help find a local magician who has not been seen for weeks. Police said the 26-year-old’s disappearance is considered out of character and that he was last seen driving away from his house at 3 a.m. on June 14. His phone was turned off at 6 a.m. that day. In a chilling twist, the magician’s website states that “Transformation requires disappearance.” “The new experience is currently under construction,” it says, and invites people to “return soon.” It is unclear if the message on his website is related to his disappearance. According to friends, the magician was heading southeast to the Springbrook area in Queensland in his silver Hyundai, towing a caravan, both of which were found by police in a remote area a few miles south of his home two days later. The Australian Defense Force has been involved in the investigation. “Because of the terrain and the large area that needs to be traversed, we have been utilizing aerial assets in Queensland, including police, Polair and also drones,” Acting Inspector Brett Jackson said. Hidden’s disappearance comes just a month after a woman was reported missing from Bondi Beach, but there is no confirmation that the cases are related.

Alan Greenspan, the economist who led the Federal Reserve through five terms under four U.S. presidents and helped shape American economic policy for decades, has died at the age of 100. His wife, NBC News chief Washington correspondent and chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell, confirmed his death in a statement, saying he died Monday at their home from complications of Parkinson’s disease. “He was a giant of a man who helped shape the U.S. economy for decades under presidents of both parties, but was always honest in acknowledging his mistakes,” Mitchell, 79, said. Greenspan served as Chair of the U.S. Federal Reserve from 1987, when he was first appointed by President Ronald Reagan, to 2006, making him one of the longest-serving central bankers in modern U.S. history. He presided over several major economic events that helped shape modern American capitalism, including Black Monday and the rise of the internet. But critics say his support for financial deregulation helped set the stage for the 2007–08 global financial crisis. Beyond Greenspan’s public life, Mitchell, his wife of 29 years, described him as a devoted partner. “To me he was my husband, who shaped my life from our very first date in 1984,” she said. “He will be remembered for his brilliance and his kindness. Being his life partner was the joy of my life.”
