Swedish Pop Duo Axes Anniversary Tour Over Soaring Costs

Roxette, the Swedish pop duo that rose to fame in the late 1980s and early ‘90s, canceled its 40th anniversary North American tour due to “logistics and hugely increased touring costs.” The band’s official Instagram account posted: “This decision was made by Live Nation USA, which they probably based on their own calculations. I hope we can play for our fab fans in the USA and Canada at some point in the near future.” The band’s biggest hit, “It Must Have Been Love,” was released in 1987 but became wildly popular in 1990 after it was featured in the iconic romantic comedy Pretty Woman. Roxette was originally made up of Per Gessle and Marie Fredriksson. Fredriksson died of a brain tumor in 2019 and Swedish singer Lena Philipsson joined the duo in 2024. Fourteen shows slated for September and October were pulled in cities including Toronto, Philadelphia, Dallas, Houston and Los Angeles.

A former NFL player has been deported from the United States. Daniel Ogama Adongo, 37, was removed from the country on June 20 after ICE alleged he had overstayed a visa that expired in 2016, NBC News reported Sunday. The athlete had retired from the league a year earlier, according to the outlet. DHS did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Adongo made history as the first Kenyan to play in the NFL after signing with the Indianapolis Colts in 2013. In March, an immigration judge ordered his removal. Before that, Adongo had amassed a string of criminal offenses, according to ICE, including a 2020 conviction for misdemeanor criminal mischief resulting in property damage. He was sentenced to 364 days in jail, NBC News reported. The Indianapolis Star reported that Adongo’s attorneys and others have suggested the former athlete may have sustained a traumatic brain injury during his football—and earlier rugby—career.

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. ​

TikTok creator Rebecca Luna ended her life after a battle with early onset dementia. She was 49. The single mom from British Columbia, Canada, passed away on Saturday afternoon, choosing to die via medically assisted suicide. Luna shared her diagnosis with debilitating early onset Alzheimer’s disease in 2025, when she was just 48-years-old. She gained a following on the short-form video platform sharing information about the condition, her doctors appointments, treatment and options, including deciding to die on her own terms at a time of her choosing. Alzheimer’s disease is especially tough on the families and loved ones of those diagnosed, as their mind deteriorates and they no longer remember their own lives and relationships. Just days before her death, Luna told followers she had moved up her Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) date from early August to July 25, explaining that the decision was ultimately about taking control of her own life. On TikTok, a notice was posted announcing her passing. “Rebecca passed away July 25th at approximately 1:15 p.m. surrounded by her loved ones. Thank you for your support and privacy,” it reads.

Two men climbed over the glass wall of Seattle’s iconic Space Needle, flipped over the edge, and parachuted down from the structure on Friday. The BASE jumpers, described as white and in their late 20s, face trespassing charges. According to police, they purchased tickets and entered the Space Needle around 8:50 p.m. Camera footage shows them entering a restroom on the top level of the needle and coming out with helmets on. The pair then climbed over the observation deck’s glass wall before parachuting off the 605-foot tower. “The two guys burst out and they sprinted up to the window. I’m talking like 10 seconds, sprint all the way up to the top, climb over, run and do a backflip off. I mean, it was, it was so crazy because everybody was scared at first when they ran out,” Jacob Jarreau, who was near the observation deck, told KING 5 News. Authorities are unsure where the men landed and have not been able to locate them.

There are plenty of purchases I’ve justified over the years in the name of “self-care,” but few have delivered quite as much immediate gratification as my Lola Blanket. Whether you’re settling in for a TV marathon, reading in bed, cuddling with your partner (or, more realistically in my case, your pet), or just trying to survive an overzealous air conditioner in the middle of summer, a great throw blanket is one of those everyday luxuries we often overlook. Lola Blankets have very much earned their reputation as the internet’s favorite blanket, and after wrapping yourself in one, it’s not exactly hard to understand why.

Dubbed the “softest blanket ever,” the brand’s premium faux-fur throws have amassed more than 30,000 five-star reviews, making them among the most beloved blankets online. Available in an impressive range of colors, patterns, and four different sizes (along with weighted and pet-friendly versions), there’s a Lola Blanket for just about every sofa, bed, and perpetually chilly person. The ultra-soft blankets strike that rare balance of looking elevated enough to leave draped over your couch while still being the blanket everyone instinctively reaches for the second they sit down.

Of course, softness is only part of their appeal. Unlike many faux-fur throws that require delicate care (or immediately look worse after one wash), Lola Blankets are machine washable, stain-resistant, and built to withstand everyday life. That makes them especially ideal for homes with kids, pets, or anyone who’s been known to enjoy dinner, wine, or an entire sleeve of cookies on the couch (*shamefully raising my hand*).

Each blanket is crafted with OEKO-TEX Standard 100-certified faux fur, therapeutic four-way stretch that makes sharing with a partner (or a pet) a little easier, and reinforced double-hemmed edges for added durability. Best of all, they’re shed-proof, so your furniture, clothes, and floors won’t end up looking like you’ve adopted a very fluffy new pet.

Audiences can’t get enough of Christopher Nolan’s take on Homer’s epic, The Odyssey. After an opening weekend that exceeded all expectations, box office receipts for the film’s second weekend were impressively robust. The film pulled in $87 million in its second showing, which is remarkable for any movie, let alone an R-rated one. Ticket sales for the film declined just 30 percent from its $123.5 million debut weekend. According to Variety, most tentpoles that open above $100 million decline by 50 percent or more on subsequent weekends. Next weekend is expected to be a real test of the film’s durability as the next installment in Marvel’s Spiderman franchise, Brand New Day, premieres. The movie also stars two of The Odyssey’s biggest stars, married couple Tom Holland and Zendaya. The box office success of Nolan’s epic will no doubt frustrate Elon Musk and the online armchair critics who cannot stand award-winning A-list actors they don’t like playing fictional characters that include gods and monsters. Musk pledged this week to make his own AI slop version of Homer’s tale, but audiences seem to have decided they’re just fine with the one they already have.

Emma Roberts, 35, and actor Cody John, 36, are officially married after exchanging vows in an intimate ceremony on Saturday. Photographs obtained by Page Six show the couple saying “I do” in Sun Valley, Idaho, in a ceremony the outlet reported took place in 95-degree heat. Roberts wore a flowing white gown custom-designed by Monique Lhuillier, according to Vogue, while John opted for a brown suit. The Wild Child star’s aunt, Academy Award winner Julia Roberts, 58, was also among the guests at the ceremony. Roberts and John went public with their relationship in 2022 and announced their engagement in July 2024. The actress shared the news on Instagram with the caption, “Putting this here before my mom tells everyone,” a joke that appeared to reference a previous incident when Roberts’ mother accidentally shared a photo of her son, Rhodes, online without her permission. Before John, Roberts dated actor Garrett Hedlund, 41, with whom she shares co-parenting duties for their son. The actress also had a high-profile romance with her American Horror Story co-star Evan Peters. Their turbulent relationship included a 2013 domestic violence arrest involving Roberts, though no charges were filed, and the couple later split in 2015.

The founder of a North Carolina physical therapy center has gone missing while on a trip to the Caribbean. Police said Elizabeth “Liz” Waddell, 44, was last seen Wednesday at Grand Anse Beach in St. George’s, Grenada’s capital. Her husband, Cailen Waddell, shared a photo of her on Facebook, writing: “I expect nothing less than Liz’s safe return - so please send your love, light, thoughts, and prayers our way.” Cailen is a parks manager in Cary, North Carolina, and was not on the trip with his wife, but flew to the island on Friday to help with the search efforts. The couple shares a daughter, who they adopted as an adult in 2024. In December, Liz shared on Instagram that she stopped working mid-November due to health issues. “I’ve learned to give up control and live in the moment. I listen to my body as much as possible and give myself grace when I can’t do the things I want to do,” she wrote. It is unclear why Waddell made the trip to Grenada. Police have not provided further details about the case.

Democratic lieutenant governor of Hawaii Sylvia Luke was indicted on charges of criminal conspiracy to commit bribery, bribery and falsifying campaign committee reports. The charges come after a monthslong investigation by the Hawaii attorney general’s office into allegations that Luke accepted campaign donations from lobbyist and businessman Tobi Solidum in exchange for helping secure a COVID-19 testing contract in 2022, when she chaired the state House Finance Committee. “From the outset of this investigation, I have repeated that we have a commitment to following the facts to where they lead, no matter how long it takes to get there,” Anne Lopez, the state’s attorney general, said. Hawaii Gov. Josh Green called on the lieutenant governor to step down. “The Attorney General announced significant developments in her department’s corruption investigation and has provided an update on their findings,” he said in a statement. “The Lieutenant Governor needs to consider formally resigning to address this matter and so that the state of Hawaiʻi can move forward.” Four others were also indicted in the bribery case, including former Democratic state Rep. Ryan Yamane. Luke has been on leave since April after she was named in the campaign finance investigation.

Country star Kacey Musgraves suddenly canceled three tour performances without explanation, leaving fans both worried and annoyed. The first concert was set to serve as the opening night of her widely anticipated, 25-city “Middle of Nowhere” tour. The eight-time Grammy winner has yet to comment on the cancellations. Musgraves’ original Aug. 20 Chicago opening night, her Aug. 29 concert in Boston, and her Sept. 2 Brooklyn performance have all been axed. Fans were informed of the cancellations without explanation by Ticketmaster. Musgraves’ 29-day tour was originally scheduled to finish up in the U.S. in late October with two nights in Seattle before the singer heads overseas for shows in Australia, England, and Scotland. Some fans speculated on social media that the shows may have been canceled due to disappointing ticket sales. However, American Songwriter noted earlier this week that Musgraves had hit a bit of a “dry spell”—the title of the lead song from her new album, Middle of Nowhere. But the album peaked at No. 2 on the U.S. Top Country Albums chart and No. 3 on the U.S. Billboard 200. The Daily Beast has reached out to Musgraves’ reps for comment.

Ex-NFL star Jordan Devey has died at the age of 38. The former offensive lineman won Super Bowl XLIX with the New England Patriots in 2015. He died by suicide. Devey’s wife, Linsey, wrote on Instagram that she and her husband were just days away from celebrating their 15th anniversary. “We have filled the walls of our homes and hearts with countless memories, joys, struggles, and triumphs,” she wrote. “We brought 4 beautiful children into this world that have your eyes, freckles, and compassion. You were our hero and our hearts ache in your absence. We love you. We miss you.” Devey spent his final years coaching high school athletes in Eagle, Idaho. “The fields won’t feel the same without him,” the team wrote on Instagram. “Every practice, every game, every lesson about teamwork, perseverance, and doing things the right way carries a piece of what Jordan stood for. Rest easy, coach.” In a GoFundMe post, Devey’s family hailed his “commitment to uplifting those around him, which extended far beyond sports, as he faithfully served in his church, offering support, counsel, and friendship to anyone in need.” After playing football at Utah’s Snow College and the University of Memphis, Devey launched his NFL career in 2013 with the Baltimore Ravens and moved to the Patriots the following year. He also played with the San Francisco 49ers, the Kansas City Chiefs, the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Buffalo Bills. He retired from the NFL in 2021.
