Heidi Klum is revealing her secret tips and tricks for looking and feeling her best.

“I love cooking and eating healthy,” Klum, 53, shared in the latest Us Weekly cover story. “And I like that my children are seeing that. I mean, they’ve seen it over the years and some practice it more than others.”

Klum — a mom of four — shared that she and her eldest daughter are similar when it comes to their palate. (Klum welcomed Leni with ex Flavio Briatore after she had moved on with Seal, who adopted her daughter. Klum and Seal, who split in 2012, are also the parents of kids Henry, 20, Johan, 19, and Lou, 16. Klum is now married to Tom Kaulitz.)

“We always say we have garlic with salad instead of salad with garlic,” she said of Leni. “She’s very much like me in that sense. She just loves healthy things. We don’t love everything overcooked and fried and dead and killed.”

Heidi Klum nonchalantly revealed how much she weighs during a recent q&a with fans on social media. Klum, 50, hosted a now-expired Q&A session on her Instagram Story Sunday, August 20, according to the Daily Mail. One follower asked her weight and Klum grabbed a scale to find out. “It must have gotten completely dusty,” […]

Klum also explained that she stays away from raw foods, sharing that it’s “harder for your body to digest.”

“If you want to have fruit, blanch them in the frying pan with a bit of water,” she said, noting that she believes digestion begins when you take a bite of food. “Chew enough and don’t drink too many fluids while you eat because the stomach acids can’t break it all down.”

Klum shared that she spent time at Lanserhof Lans health spa in Austria.

“It’s kind of a very chic hospital, where they feed you, they take your blood and you can do colonoscopies,” she explained. “I mean, it’s like a whole thing where they turn you upside down, inside out. I think it is definitely something worth doing, because you want to make sure your body is in tip top shape and especially when you get older we need to know, is there something that’s missing? Like, what do I need to eat more of?”

Klum shared that she maintains an active lifestyle, noting that she’s “always schlepped my own bags up and down the stairs, and I had four kids so I’ve always been mobile.” Klum also believes that people can get what they need via food and lifestyle choices, sharing that she limits supplements.

“To me, it doesn’t make sense to eat badly and then shove 50 pills inside of you,” she said. “To me this doesn’t make sense. I think that’s important, bringing it back to the basics and trying to be as natural with everything as you possibly can, I think is the way to go.”

Jennifer Grey announced that her mom, Jo Wilder, died at age 94 on Saturday, July 4.

In an emotional Instagram tribute shared Wednesday, July 8, Grey, 66, wrote that Wilder died “by her own choosing, on her own terms, exactly as she lived,” one week after receiving a lung cancer diagnosis.

“True to who she was, she chose grace over fear, understanding that leaving this world with dignity is an honor, not a tragedy,” Grey continued. “She was gorgeous and talented — a promising young actress on the New York stage in her youth. She used to say she never fully answered that calling; she became a mother instead.”

Wilder shared kids Jennifer and James Katz with ex-husband Joel Grey.

“If she’d chosen ambition over my brother and me, we never would have had the mother we had,” Jennifer’s caption continued. “Her passion found other outlets: she was a lifelong activist, fiercely attuned to right and wrong. And for years, many people discovered her extraordinary eye through Wilder Place, her store on Melrose.”

After an offseason of major change in Buffalo, quarterback Josh Allen isn’t getting distracted by any outside noise. 

In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Allen, 30, was asked how much weight he feels on his shoulders to finally get the Bills to a Super Bowl in his ninth season with the franchise. 

“Not a whole lot of pressure,” Allen said, while promoting his partnership with Natrol, the No. 1 drug-free sleep aid brand. “It’s always been my dream. It’s been my goal from day one, since I set foot in Buffalo, to bring a Lombardi Trophy to western New York. And that’s not going to change. But again, just making sure I’m falling in love with the process of what it takes to get there, enjoying the game that I love and being the best person, player, father that I can be while doing it.”

Allen and his wife, actress Hailee Steinfeld, welcomed their first child, daughter Harper, in April.

Hailee Steinfeld and Josh Allen kept their romance quiet to start before getting engaged in November 2024 and tying the knot the following spring. Allen was linked to Steinfeld just weeks after eagle-eyed fans noticed in April 2023 that his longtime girlfriend Brittany Williams unfollowed him on social media.Although the Buffalo Bills quarterback was spotted […]

Prior to the 2026 season, the Bills made four consecutive Super Bowls between 1991 to 1994, but lost all four times.

In January, the Bills hired the team’s former offensive coordinator, Joe Brady, to take over as head coach after parting ways with Sean McDermott after nine seasons. 

“I’ve had Joe in the room with me for the last couple years, so you know it’s not anything new,” Allen said of their relationship. “We’re very much in lockstep and aligned in what we want to accomplish and what it’s going to take to get there. So, obviously, very excited for this year, new stadium. A lot of firsts.”

The Bills will christen the brand-new Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park when the NFL season opens this fall. The fancy new digs cost over $2.1 billion and, amongst other amenities, features  the world’s largest stadium snow-melt system.

Allen and the Bills welcome the Detroit Lions for the Highmark home opener on September 17. 

In the meantime, the quarterback has been utilizing Natrol’s new Ultra Sleep and Ultra Energy supplements into his daily routine. Together, the products help him fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer and maintain sustained energy throughout the demanding offseason. 

“It’’s been life-changing because I understand what it’s like to have good sleep, and now what it’s like to not have such great sleep,” Allen explained.

The NFL superstar said the Natrol supplements help “in falling asleep and keeping you asleep, so you can wake up feeling refreshed, and then on top of that, you have the energy that fills your body with what it needs and really good nutrients to keep you feeling great throughout the day.”

Allen added, “Sleep happens throughout the entire day too, so right when you wake up determines what you’re going to sleep like that night.”

Former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Lisa Rinna has inserted herself into one of the internet’s most controversial political conversations, publicly suggesting that Senator Mitch McConnell is secretly dead despite repeated assurances from Republican leaders that he remains alive and engaged in Senate business.

5

The actress and reality television personality made the eyebrow-raising claim in a TikTok video Tuesday night as speculation surrounding McConnell’s health continues to intensify following his hospitalization last month. “I mean, come on, Mitch McConnell’s dead. He’s dead,” Rinna said in the clip. “They’re keeping him alive like ‘Weekend at Bernie’s.’”

McConnell has been hospitalized for more than three weeks after suffering a medical emergency at his Washington, D.C., home on June 14. According to CBS, emergency responders were dispatched after receiving a call regarding an unconscious individual who may have suffered a cardiac arrest. A medic reportedly noted that CPR was in progress when first responders arrived.

Since then, McConnell’s office has released only limited information about his condition, saying he is receiving “excellent care” while recovering in the hospital. The lack of detailed updates has fueled widespread speculation about the Kentucky senator’s health and future in office.

Rinna’s TikTok came just hours after GOP strategist Scott Jennings attempted to push back against the growing rumors by publicly revealing that he had spoken directly with McConnell. “I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky,” Jennings wrote on X. “He’s still recovering in the hospital.”

Jennings added that the pair discussed topics including Iran, Ukraine, developments in Maine, and Senate history during a conversation that lasted nearly 20 minutes.

Republican Leaders Continue To Insist McConnell Is Working

5

Rinna’s comments also arrived shortly after Senate Majority Leader John Thune reportedly held what was described as a “lengthy and substantive” phone call with McConnell. According to NOTUS, the two discussed national security matters and other Senate business while McConnell remains hospitalized.

A spokesman for the longtime senator similarly attempted to quell the speculation in a statement provided to the Daily Mail. “Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital,” the spokesman said. “The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.”

Despite those assurances, questions continue to circulate online as critics demand more concrete proof of McConnell’s condition.

Why The Mitch McConnell Rumors Have Grown So Quickly

5

Rinna’s remarks are notable because they reflect how speculation surrounding McConnell’s health has expanded far beyond Washington political circles. What began as questions about the senator’s condition after his June hospitalization has evolved into a full-blown online conspiracy theory fueled by influencers, political commentators, independent journalists, and now celebrities.

The lack of detailed public updates from McConnell’s office has created an information vacuum that supporters and critics alike have attempted to fill with their own theories. Far-right activist Laura Loomer recently claimed that an unnamed White House source told her McConnell was either in a vegetative state or brain dead and would not return to work. Independent journalist Desiréee Townsend later claimed she had heard similar information from her own sources.

Meanwhile, several prominent conservative voices have publicly called for McConnell’s staff to provide additional evidence that he is capable of returning to the Senate, including Breitbart editor Matthew Boyle, who wrote on X that McConnell’s aides should “produce proof of the senator’s condition one way or another right now.”

5

The rumors gained additional momentum after The Hill accidentally published what appeared to be an obituary-style retrospective examining McConnell’s political career.

Although the article was quickly deleted, screenshots circulated widely online and became further ammunition for conspiracy theorists already questioning the senator’s condition. At the same time, McConnell’s eldest daughter, Porter McConnell, quietly deactivated her X account.

There is no evidence connecting the move to her father’s hospitalization, and it remains unclear when exactly the account was deleted. Nevertheless, the timing quickly became another subject of speculation among social media users.

Why McConnell’s Health Matters Beyond The Rumors

5

The intense interest in McConnell’s condition is not solely driven by political gossip. As one of the most influential Republicans of the modern era, McConnell’s future carries significant implications for the balance of power in Washington.

The Kentucky Republican served as Senate Majority Leader from 2015 until 2021 and remains one of the GOP’s most powerful voices in Congress. Republicans currently hold a narrow Senate majority, meaning any prolonged absence could complicate legislative efforts heading into a crucial election cycle.

If McConnell were unable to resume his duties or vacate his seat before August 3, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear would be required to call a special election to fill the vacancy.

Marvel is having quite the day in terms of Emmy nominations. After a strong recent run, including the second season of Daredevil: Born Again and animated event series Eyes of Wakanda and Marvel Zombies, the MCU is officially back in the win column thanks to Wonder Man. Series lead Yahya Abdul-Mateen II earned a nod for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for the superhero showbiz satire, marking Marvel Television’s first acting Emmy nomination in five years. However, that only accounted for one of 12 awards the comic giant’s shows are up for, with the other 11 going towards a title that isn’t even on Disney+.

In the end, the real big winner was Spider-Noir, from the trio of Sony Pictures Television, Amazon MGM Studios, and Marvel Studios. The Nicolas Cage-led superhero crime hit premiered on Prime Video to rave reviews back in May, and that’s now been reflected in the 78th Emmy Award nominations, with recognition for everything from production design and music to prosthetic makeup, cinematography, stunt performance, and more. While none of the performances received nominations, nor did the show make the cut for Outstanding Drama, the awards the show is up for recognize its greatest strength — the campy, gorgeously crafted classic noir presentation. The series now has the second-most nominations of any Marvel television title to date, behind only WandaVision‘s staggering 23 in 2021.

Created by Oren Uziel and Steve Lightfoot, Spider-Noir‘s first season introduced Ben Reilly (Cage), a familiarly black-clad superhero detective who’s a bit different from his Spider-Verse counterpart. Living in 1930s New York, he’s haunted by a personal tragedy and his own past as The Spider, the city’s only superhero. Soon, however, the drunken, down-on-his-luck private eye is pulled back into business when a new case comes across his desk that he can’t ignore, forcing him to suit up once more and stop the villains plaguing the Big Apple. He’s not alone in his fight, joined by his friend and journalist Robbie Robertson (Lamorne Morris), his ever-loyal assistant Janet Ruiz (Karen Rodriguez), and femme fatale nightclub singer Cat Hardy (Li Jun Li).

Right now, X-Men ‘97 Season 2 is absolutely killing it, maintaining the almost impossibly high standard created by Season 1. Understandably, fans are wondering exactly how much of this awesome animated revival we are going to get. The exact answer to that question is something of a moving target. Previously, executive producer Larry Houston said that Marvel Animation is currently working on Seasons 3 and 4 and that the goal is to hit at least five seasons, which would match the original X-Men: The Animated Series. While that’s already an ambitious goal, one power player at Marvel is dreaming even bigger.

In a recent interview with POC Culture, Houston confirmed that Brad Winderbaum, the Head of Streaming, Television and Animation at Marvel Studios, would love to do 10 seasons. Unsurprisingly, the writers, producers, and voice actors support this goal, as that means we’d be getting more of this hit series for the better part of a decade. However, there’s one potential downside that none of the movers and shakers at Marvel have considered. If X-Men ‘97 can maintain this same level of quality for 10 seasons, it may effectively kill the MCU by forcing fans to ask the obvious question about live-action Marvel movies: “why can’t they be as good as the cartoon?”

Comparison Is The Thief Of Joy

It’s an open secret that, after Avengers: Endgame, Marvel really fell off, both creatively and commercially. Once, this franchise regularly pumped out billion-dollar movies; however, that became a rarity (last year, neither The Thunderbolts nor The Fantastic Four: First Steps came anywhere close). Major warning bells began to sound when The Marvels, a direct sequel to one of those billion-dollar films, actually lost the studio money. Because of this, MCU guru Kevin Feige created a daring strategy. With Avengers: Doomsday and the return of Chris Evans and Robert Downey Jr., he hopes to channel Endgame. And with Avengers: Secret Wars, he’d reboot the entire Marvel Cinematic Universe. 

That reboot will allow for recasting popular characters like Captain America and Iron Man while adding some major players (like the X-Men) to the MCU. Because the mutants are headed to the big screen, you might think that X-Men ‘97 lasting for a decade would be a good thing because it creates synergy across multiple platforms and media. However, this cartoon knocking it out of the park year after year could be a problem because it naturally invites fan comparisons to the MCU. No matter how good the X-Men movie is, its two hours will be compared to entire seasons of X-Men ‘97. If the movie is bad, fans may cry for yet another cinematic reboot. 

It’s Not Just In Our Heads

The decline of the MCU had already happened long before the premiere of X-Men ‘97 Season 1. Media outlets began tossing around the term “superhero fatigue” to pretend this decline was out of Marvel’s control and that millions of people suddenly lost their appetite for tights-and-flights movies overnight. In reality, these movies stopped making as much money because so many of them weren’t as good as earlier films. All it took was a handful of lukewarm Marvel movies to nearly destroy the franchise because all of us remembered how, not that many years ago (there were only four years between Endgame and The Marvels!), the studio knew how to make good films. 

Now, maybe Kevin Feige’s dream comes true and both Avengers: Doomsday and Avengers: Secret Wars provide Endgame-level quality and revive major public interest in the franchise. But what happens if the subsequent movies suffer a major dip in quality like so many of the post-Endgame movies? We’ll just be in for “superhero fatigue” 2.0, which will be accelerated because X-Men ‘97 will constantly remind us how good these films could be. It was bad enough when we were simply comparing new, mediocre movies to excellent ones from the past. How much worse will future flops be when we know Marvel has killer writers and they are simply working on another project?

When You’re Destined To Die

Obviously, this isn’t to blame X-Men ‘97; the show is perfect, and if we get eight more seasons after this, this ‘80s kid’s heart will fill with joy. But as far back as Season 1, fans were comparing this show to the live-action films and actively questioning why Marvel could create a consistently awesome series but kept dropping the ball with feature films. If the MCU experiences a similar post-Secret Wars decline in film quality while X-Men ‘97 keeps knocking it out of the park, the box office for these movies will shrivel up and die. Why spend a small fortune to see a mediocre movie when better superhero stories are streaming on demand?

In the end, the perfect cartoon might kill the most ambitious cinematic franchise ever created. Should the MCU die, though, they could always take their cue from X-Men ‘97: just wait nearly three decades and pick up right where they left off!

With just days to go before its theatrical release, the review embargo for Evil Dead Burn has officially lifted and while not every critic is completely sold, the latest chapter in the legendary horror franchise is already earning praise for delivering exactly what longtime fans have been craving: relentless gore, inventive kills, and an unapologetically brutal return to Deadite terror.

Directed by Sébastien Vaniček, the filmmaker behind the acclaimed horror thriller Infested, Evil Dead Burn follows a grieving widow who seeks comfort with her late husband’s family, only to find herself trapped in a nightmare as demonic forces begin possessing those around her. The film stars Souheila Yacoub, Hunter Doohan, Luciane Buchanan, and Tandi Wright, while franchise creators Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert return as producers.

Many of the first reviews have praised Vaniček’s fresh vision for the franchise, with critics highlighting the film’s intense practical effects, creative set pieces, and emotionally grounded story. Several reviewers have even suggested Evil Dead Burn may be the most violent installment the series has ever produced.

Not every review has been glowing, however. While some critics applauded the film’s willingness to push the boundaries of horror, others argued that its relentless brutality occasionally comes at the expense of the dark humor and charm that helped define earlier entries in the franchise.

One of the film’s stars, Hunter Doohan, recently spoke about the demanding production, revealing that some of the movie’s elaborate action and horror sequences required days of filming and extensive rehearsals.

“How the f— are we going to do this?”

Doohan recalled thinking while preparing for one of the film’s most ambitious set pieces.

Doohan also revealed that he watched every previous Evil Dead film before production began to fully immerse himself in the franchise’s mythology, saying the experience turned him into an even bigger fan.

Ahead of production, Vaniček also shared that Bruce Campbell had one major request for the new installment: respect what made Evil Dead special while still bringing something new to the table. According to the director, Campbell encouraged him to stay true to the franchise’s DNA without simply recreating what had come before.

Whether Evil Dead Burn ultimately ranks among the franchise’s very best remains to be seen, but the early consensus suggests horror fans are in for one of the year’s most intense theatrical experiences. With praise for its practical effects, gruesome kills, and uncompromising vision, the latest chapter appears ready to continue the franchise’s reputation as one of horror’s bloodiest and most enduring series when it opens in theaters on July 10.
