Beyond the Gates spoilers promise that this week Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett) collapses. And it looks like this is the big one. The deathbed scene we have known was coming. This week’s spoilers look really scary for Big Bad Bill.
And his medical crisis could ruin Dani Dupree’s (Karla Mosley) marriage if she can’t stay away. We’re going to talk about Bill’s near-death being what outs Dani’s true feelings for Bill in a way that Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman) cannot ignore.
Ever since their elevator encounter, both Dani and Bill have been thinking a lot about the past and he wanted more chances with his ex. But Dani is denying him. She rejected Bill when he tried to get Dani to have an affair with him and she told Bill she would never be a sidepiece like Hayley Lawson (Marquita Goings) was.
But Dani is still obviously in pain over all the things that Bill did to her, ripping her heart out with the whole Hayley thing. Dani suffered years of Bill’s cheating. And then that was topped off with the humiliation of Bill dumping Dani to be with Hayley. And even worse, Bill moved Hayley into Dani’s own backyard. What she can’t deny is that Bill still gets her hot and bothered and he can play her body like a fiddle.
Meanwhile, horrible little Hayley Hamilton told Randy Parker (Maurice P. Kerry) that she’s done with all this. So, he gave her more poison. And Hayley is planning to kill Bill in St. Barts. And Randy knows a guy there that can do up the death certificate real quick and go ahead and cremate Bill so that nobody will ever know that she poisoned him because, you know, once you’re ashes, it’s kind of too late.
Hayley has been dosing Bill with smoothies full of the toxins and then making him work out, pushing Bill’s body to the limit while keeping family away and then goading him to stay away from the doctor. Hayley kept saying fine, go to the hospital, get poked and prodded because she knew Bill’s ego would make him say no, forget it. Bottom line, Hayley wants Bill dead right now so that she can cash out.
Unfortunately, Beyond the Gates spoilers for this week say Hayley’s plans go off the rails when Bill gets a health update that delays their trip to St. Barts. But Hayley’s done waiting. So, she pivots to a new plan to just go ahead and kill Bill right there in the DMV. Problem is, Hayley doesn’t know she is about to be busted. Initially, there was suspicion she was cheating on Bill.
But now Kat Richardson (Colby Muhammad), Chelsea Hamilton (RhonniRose Mantilla), Naomi Hamilton Hawthorne (Arielle Prepetit), and Dani have figured out that Randy isn’t Hayley’s secret boyfriend. He’s something else entirely. And Vanessa McBride (Lauren Buglioli) filled in some blanks for them on their shared background with Doug McBride (Jason Graham), and they realized that Hayley’s from the same place as Randy and Doug.
And then there’s the whole thing with him using another name. That was when he supposedly took Hayley to the hospital for that miscarriage that we all know is faked. But the little killer doesn’t know that all the Dupree ladies are on to her. So, Hayley decides to go for it and just finish off her husband Bill.
And by Thursday this week, Dani is freaking Randy out. So, it looks like Dani corners Randy with some pointed questions. And we’ll see if he alerts Hayley. Also, Randy got a heads up thanks to Vanessa. Of course, she likes him because he was Doug’s good friend. So, Vanessa warned him. And all of this could have Randy deciding to walk away from Hayley. High tail it out of town. But Hayley’s not going to stop.
And by Friday, Beyond the Gates spoilers say that she gets what she wants. That is the same day Bill collapses at work again. And it looks dire. So, Caroline Lee (Ellie Wang) is there for him. She’s going to get Bill to the hospital, I’m sure. And Madison Montgomery (Kenjah McNeil) might not know what’s going on with him, but we could see a scene with Bill at death’s door and Chelsea and Naomi worried they’re going to lose their dad.
I definitely feel like deathbed stuff is coming soon for Bill. The last time that he was in the hospital, Dani tried to stay away and Andre noticed that Dani was fighting the urge to run to check on Bill when he was in the hospital that time. Andre said it was fine, she could go, but Dani said, “No, I’m not going.”
But in the end, she couldn’t stay away. She went to see Bill, and she waited until Andre was distracted. So, she kind of went on the sly. Dani went over there to check on Bill for herself. And of course, Dani was disgusted that Hayley wasn’t there. And later, Dani lectured Hayley for being off getting a facial while Bill was on his sick bed.
This time, I’m guessing Hayley also won’t be there because she is flat out intent on murdering Bill or trying her best. So, she may be at the house packing a bag of bikinis to head to St. Barts so she can go play rich grieving widow and look for her next target. Dani knows that Hayley’s a gold digger. All the Duprees do.
I just think they didn’t suspect she was also a black widow planning to kill Bill to get his money. What I’m also wondering is if Dani is up there to see Bill, will Andre stop in to see him, too? You know, Bill’s part of the family as much as Andre doesn’t like him, and Andre might overhear something because if Bill thinks he’s really dying, he may have some things to get off his chest.
I could see him telling Dani he’s glad they got to be together one last time during the tornado. That’s something Andre might overhear Bill and Dani talking about. It would be the worst way for Andre to find out his wife had feelings for him. Or Bill might flat out tell Andre about it, either intentionally or because he’s addled and on pain meds and it just slips out and he doesn’t realize.


Either way, I think the truth about Dani’s real feelings for Bill are going to come out during this final life or death medical crisis. And at this point, Madison has tested, poked, and prodded Bill, but none of the blood work detected that he’s been poisoned by horrible Hayley.
But with new symptoms and maybe with Kat’s suspicions, since she’s a true crime enthusiast, maybe they’ll sus out that Hayley’s up to no good and Madison will do a thorough toxicology screen. I will say, I don’t think Bill’s going to die.
But his marriage is going to be dead in the water and Hayley is going to be in trouble. And Dani’s marriage might be dead, too, because there are some other cracks in her marriage already. And of course, Andre’s got that stalker from his past who is escalating this week.
I’m assuming it’s some woman who’s crazy about him. Meanwhile, Dani’s denying to everybody that she wants Bill, denying it to herself most of all. And Hayley’s desperate to end this scheme and get her payday this week and it could cost Bill his life. However, I suspect he survives and that it might just kill Dani’s marriage.
I personally think Bill is the worst thing for Dani. Cheating leopards don’t change their spots in the short run after what Hayley’s done to him. I could see Bill working hard to convince Dani he’s learned his lesson. He would never be unfaithful again. But if she took him back, I think we all know Bill won’t keep it zipped long term, which is a very soapy plot and a good way to go.
I do think Andre is the healthiest emotional choice for Dani, but her reuniting with Bill because he nearly died would be a much soapier outcome. And of course, I’d love to see little Hayley hauled off in handcuffs, but it’s also soapier if she gets away. I could even see her showing up in another town looking at another wealthy man as her next target.
But that means Randy might also need to leave town or face some serious heat as her accomplice. And of course, the last time he tried to run, it didn’t go well for Randy because Joey Armstrong (Jon Lindstrom) almost killed him. But that time he took some money. Maybe if he leaves without stealing, it’ll work out better. Watch this week because it’s going to be life and death for Bill, Hayley, and Randy, and maybe for Dani’s marriage, too.

Aren’t we all super attached to our black leggings? It’s at the point where we forget that other color options exist, but Jessica Alba may have just convinced Us to try something new. The actress recently stepped out in an unexpected hue that could still be considered a neutral, and it’s ideal for the upcoming fall season.
Alba was spotted in New York City wearing a matching olive green set. While we love the high-waisted leggings and sports bra together, we can form so many looks with just the bottom half. When you’re ready to give your black leggings a break, try the Colorfulkoala Dreamlux High-Waisted Leggings, which are super similar to Alba’s pick.
Get the Colorfulkoala Dreamlux High-Waisted Leggings for $34 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.
Like Alba’s pair, the Colorfulkoala option comes in an olive green hue — and actually, the shade is almost an exact match. However, the same style also comes in black (if you can’t bear to break old habits), as well as various browns, gray, dark red, purple and more. It’s the green option, though, that might be the most fun of the bunch, and just like your current go-to, still works with a wide range of tops.
Available in sizes XXS to XXL, these Amazon leggings were designed to provide tummy control without leaving you feeling uncomfortable. Plus, they come in 25- and 28-inch inseams, so you can get the optimal fit. And don’t even get us started on the Dreamlux fabric, which is super soft and moisture-wicking!
Amazon shoppers can’t stop raving about how good these leggings are, claiming they rival high-end options that cost three times more.
“I have been on the search for the perfect pair of leggings — ones I can wear to yoga/pilates without constantly pulling them up,” one five-star reviewer wrote. “I am amazed how perfect these leggings are.”
“These are my new favorites. I have them in several colors, and they’ve become my go-to for not only yoga but running errands, lounging at home and even going out,” said a verified purchaser. “They’re comfortable, versatile and sleek. I love the soft fabric and that they compress without squeezing anywhere.”
As much as we love our tried-and-true, basic black leggings, Alba’s look is the encouragement we need to venture outside our comfort zone. This ready-for-fall hue works year-round, so don’t delay — make the swap!

Young and the Restless suggests that Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) cannot keep his big mouth shut. And he ruins things for Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope), and it’s about the deal she made with Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) when he bought back Newman Media.
Is this going to be the last straw for Sally? How much more can she take of Billy’s antics? We’re going to talk about how Billy’s latest move may push Sally too far and why she may slap Billy with an ultimatum.
So, we’re going to see this week Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) running into Billy while they’re both out and about at Society. And of course, Victor can’t ever leave anybody at peace. So, he’s goading and taunting Billy about Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) giving him a job at Chancellor. And Victor refers to it as Cane throwing Billy scraps.
And Victor doesn’t stop there. I mean, he is always so awful to Billy. So, this week, Victor tells Billy that Cane makes him look unworthy. And Victor goes even lower and says Billy’s mom, Jill Abbott (Jess Walton), wishes that Cane was her real son, not him. And then Victor just keeps going and he calls Billy a loser and Victor says he’s going to lose again soon.
And based on what Billy does next, Victor might actually be seeing into the future because Billy screws up big. First, he gets in a few jabs at Victor about Phyllis Summers (Michelle Stafford) stealing Newman Enterprises. And then Billy brings up the fake AI generated evidence against Phyllis, Billy, and Cane that didn’t work out in Victor’s favor. But of course, the mustache knows how to push Billy’s buttons.
And Victor goads him so badly this week about Jill and Cane that Billy’s anger and hatred of Victor gets the better of him. And guess what Billy does? He blurts out that Victor’s precious son, Adam, didn’t take Newman Media back from Sally. No. Billy reveals that Adam cut Sally a big fat check for it. And Billy taunts Victor by saying that Adam went behind Victor’s back to buy it from Sally. And then Billy salts the wound and says that Adam even paid Sally more than market value, more than Newman Media was even worth.
And Billy pushes back more and says Adam probably even used Victor’s own money to buy it from Sally. And of course, Victor acts like he doesn’t believe Billy. And we’ll see Victor play it off and laugh in Billy’s face and walk away. But this confirms what Victor already suspected that something was weird about the deal.
So, over at the ranch, Victor calls Adam to come over. And then Victor confronts Adam and demands to know why he didn’t tell him that he paid Sally and someone for the company. And Adam is annoyed because he was worried this would come out. He worked hard to keep it secret. Not so much because he cares if Victor’s mad at him. It’s because Adam is trying to protect pregnant Sally.
Adam wants to shield Sally from his dad Victor’s vengeance. He and Chelsea both agree that’s best. Adam says it doesn’t matter and that Victor shouldn’t believe anything that Billy says. So, he’s still trying to play it off, but Victor demands to know if Sally outsmarted Adam or if his son was conspiring with Sally.
And that’s when Adam tells his dad none of this is Sally’s fault. And Adam says he just wishes Victor would be happy that Adam made the deal and got Newman Media back because he thinks Victor should be congratulating him. But of course, his dad won’t. And so, Adam storms out and he calls Sally immediately and he gives her a heads up that Billy ran his mouth. He blabbed their secret to Victor and that was not part of the deal. Adam’s irate and says if Billy wants a fight, he’s got one.
Later this week, Adam is over at Sally and Billy’s place. They’re having an intense talk and at that point, Sally is trying to cut another deal with Adam. So, maybe it’s Sally trying to get Adam to not go after Billy for breaking the promise and blabbing to Victor. But at this point, Sally can’t keep shielding Billy. This reminds me of the chat that Sally had with Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle) at the house.
Gosh, it’s been a couple of months ago. It was before she was pregnant. Sally was explaining to Victoria when she was growing up how her dad would screw up and then everything would blow up and then Sally would help her dad pick up the pieces and then her dad let her down over and over and Sally was in the role of parenting her own father. And now we’ve got Billy doing the same thing. And Sally is repeating that toxic pattern of caretaking Billy just like she did her dad. It’s not healthy, not good for any relationship.
And then this week we have Sally confronting Billy and she’s absolutely furious. So, Sally’s going to have lots to say because Billy knew how important it was to keep that secret from Victor. She didn’t even have to tell Billy, but Sally trusted him. And guess what? Billy betrayed her almost at the first opportunity.
It seems like he would rather see Sally at risk than take a hit to his own ego. Billy could have just turned the other cheek and walked away from Victor. But this is very typical Billy behavior. And yes, Victor was 100% in the wrong and is totally toxic for what he said on Young and the Restless.
But in this situation, if it was Adam, for instance, he would have kept it zipped. He would have prioritized Sally over himself. Adam would have taken the hit to his ego and would never have given Victor any ammunition to use against Sally.
And in fact, Chelsea would have, too. They’re both more worried about pregnant Sally than Billy is at this point. This was Sally’s secret. It was not Billy’s to tell. And he knew it would put Sally in Victor’s crosshairs.


But his hatred for Victor and Adam outweighs his love and concern for Sally. And in that way, Billy’s acting a lot like Victor because the mustache usually puts his hatred for Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) above his love for Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) and family.
Billy thinks he’s a better man than Victor, but he’s acting just like him. And Billy let Victor goad him into hurting Sally with this reveal. And Billy should be ashamed of himself. There are so many red flags with him and Sally keeps excusing them or just ignoring them.
Billy’s obsession with Chancellor. There’s his thirst for revenge on Victor, his obsessive hatred of Adam, and Billy’s constant need to battle with his mom Jill Abbott (Jess Walton) about Cane. And then also for Billy to battle Cane. So many red flags. And Sally has given Billy chance after chance.
And in fact, Sally has been extremely understanding about his issues with Victor and Adam and his issues with Jill and Cane. But how much more can Sally take? I’m sure carrying Billy’s child means Sally is going to show him grace again, more than he is due.
And I think because of Sally’s difficult childhood, she really wants her baby to have a normal life, not the life she had. But she can only be pushed so far. And I think Billy has almost pushed Sally to her tipping point. With Adam telling Sally this week that Billy blew everything up, it’s huge.
I expect Sally to hit Billy with an ultimatum. I think this is Sally’s last bit of patience. Billy keeps showing her his true self, and Sally is in denial. She needs to believe what she sees, not what Billy says. The man is an emotional train wreck who leads with his ego.
So, Sally’s ultimatum may be that Billy has to let go of his hatred for Victor and Adam or Sally’s done. She’ll take the baby, she’ll go. And I bet Jill would be on team Sally and we keep the funding for her company in place because Jill knows exactly how Billy gets. I think Sally is going to write Billy a reality check this week.
But of course, we all know how it goes. He blows up every single relationship that he’s in. Just ask Phyllis about him sleeping with her daughter. Just ask Victoria or Chelsea or so many other women in Genoa City. This time there may be no coming back from what Billy has done.
Babe Ruth was known for his power at the plate, often accumulating more runs in a season than entire teams combined during his Hall of Fame career. He won seven World Series rings, hit 714 home runs and is regarded as maybe the greatest baseball player of all-time.
He also might not have ever existed, according to Chicago Cubs outfielder Pete Crow-Armstrong.
Crow-Armstrong, 24, shared his wild theory during a recent appearance on Kristin Cavallari’s “Let’s Be Honest” podcast, where he was asked to share an “unpopular opinion.”
“This is going to be crazy,” Crow-Armstrong began. “Babe Ruth never existed is one that I like. I heard some pitcher with the Mariners — what’s his name — [Tayler Saucedo], I think he did some podcast on Zoom when he was, like, going down the rabbit hole with somebody about how Babe Ruth never existed.”
Crow-Armstrong didn’t offer much in terms of evidence but still cracked a joke about how Ruth was too good for his era.
“We always talk about how the game’s evolving,” he continued. “People might as well have been underhanding the ball to that guy and he’s regarded still as one of the best players ever, and we might as well dive further into it and be like, ‘Well maybe he just never existed.’”

Saucedo, 33, is now a relief pitcher for the Los Angeles Angels, but he talked about the theory during a 2024 episode of the “Marine Layer Podcast,” saying it was a topic of conversation in the Mariners’ bullpen.
“There’s not a lot of videos of him playing,” Saucedo said. “It’s just like one of the same videos that we always see, him trotting around or doing something. We’re pretty strong on that. He doesn’t exist.”
Saucedo also shared another controversial baseball opinion: That legendary Boston Red Sox slugger Ted Williams didn’t actually hit a 502-foot home run commemorated at Fenway Park by a red painted seat where it supposedly landed.
Saucedo explained that during a trip to play the Red Sox, he and some of his bullpen mates went out to the famous seat to get a better look at the view.
“We sat out there and were like, ‘No chance,’” he said. “No chance back then was anybody hitting this. Guys like [former Red Sox star] David Ortiz with metal bats can’t put it out there. There’s just no way they’re doing that back in the day with whatever kind of wood they were using.”
The theories about Ruth and Williams may sound outlandish, but as Saucedo pointed out, there’s a lot of down time in baseball to get conspiratorial.
“You get a lot of time in the bullpen, you’re going to cover pretty much every topic you can,” he said.
Tia Mowry told us in March that she was “in love.” Still, at that time, she wasn’t ready to share her new romance. Now, in August, the longtime actor isn’t holding back anymore. A new video of her smooching her man, Javoné Williams, has fans urging her to keep her relationship private and out of the spotlight.
On Monday (August 3), Tia took to TikTok and Instagram with a sweet video, asking her supporters to engage! In the 16-second clip, she’s seen walking down her home’s hallway toward the kitchen area, where Javoné is standing. Mowry walks straight into his arms and wraps her hands around his neck, while he returns the gesture around her waist. Then, they kissed — a few times before the clip ended with Tia and Javoné smiling.
After The Shade Room reposted the sweet clip, more than 500 reactions poured in. Many enjoyed her happiness, dropping supportive heart and heart-eye emojis and compliments of the couple. Others shared that sentiment, but with some caution! Fans warned that Tia Mowry should enjoy her new romance with Javoné Williams, but keep it lowkey. There were concerns that putting it all out there too soon could have adverse effects. Others defended her posting about her life. Meanwhile, Tia Mowry has yet to react to the flood of comments across platforms. Keep reading for reactions from the roommates.
@whitleygilbertsfinsta commented, “I almost want her to hide him!! She so happy, I don’t want the internet messing with it.”
@debbwood wrote, “Let her live. If it works out…it works out. If not…lesson learned and take away the good, heal from the bad and, keep living. So Tia, enjoy your happiness today!”
“I loooooveee this for her 🔥 she is in love ❤️,” @the_sheriekanatasha said.
@jmeshelll_ commented, “This how happy she was with Corey. I think it’s the story of Corey being homeless and struggling when she met him that has me thinking she likes projects.”
“This is so cringey… I don’t like telling people what to do but please keep certain things private. We get it girl.. you got a boo lol,” @nadiibynature said.
@sophiatashaerenae added, “It’s unfortunate that so many people get jealous and judgemental concerning someone’s life. People they’ll neve meet or have the pleasure of getting to know. And why do people need to hide their happiness just to remain happy. If anyone can destroy someone else’s relationship by simply knowing their in one, then it wasn’t meant to be. Who hides what brings them joy? That’s a testimony for others to look forward to.”
@iamlaurencakes commented, “Look at her. I’m here for it. Just please do our girl right!!!”
“Yeah… he hit a certain spot 😂😩 my girl is IN LOVEEEEEE 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽,” @whothatboytrey said.
“Me 5 business days into the relationship 😂,” @iamerikaward added.
@b_mrs_krystal_b commented, “I do want her to chill a lil bit…”
“@tiamowry we know now girl… now go hide him!!! I love you!,” @sheltonshortstories said.
“All the couples who are doing too much online never end well. The private ones always win,” @kinakeep wrote.
“Why do y’all be wanting people to hide their relationships?? There’s nothing wrong with being happy and wanting to show your partner. Do y’all hide y’all’s?! lol that’s so weird to be telling folks,” @perfect_storm_1 added.
@h8toluvme commented, “I love this for her. A man that is actually okay with public affection.”
“Love this for her! Keep showing off your man and your happiness. Haters gonna hate but when you’re happy you want to scream it to the world. And Tia is a cancer. She’s a lover girl so leave her alone! ❤️,” @rickii_lovee wrote.
@ladymichellej said, “I’m not sure why people have to try and prove their love on the internet. Keep your relationship off the internet.”
“Some people enjoy privacy and some don’t, either way do what makes you happy,” @she_cooks24.7 commented.
@thesashamonroe340 added, “Y’all share y’all relationships why can’t she .. bc she’s a celebrity??? If it don’t work out oh well 🤷🏽♀️ fyi y’all hide y’all man and they still cheat 🗣️🗣️🗣️”
“Everything is not for the internet. Protect your privacy,” @diamond100.kj wrote.
Mowry might be showing off her new man, but recently she came to a point of understanding with her ex-husband, Cory Hardrict. The same house Javoné was standing in making TikToks with Tia? Cory isn’t allowed to visit without Mowry’s direct invitation or an agreed-upon exchange of their kids, Cree and Cairo. Additionally, Tia is reportedly in agreement with Cory spending time with the kids during her custodial time, as long as it’s both kids. They’ve also agreed that 9 p.m. is the hard cutoff for returning the children to her.
What Do You Think Roomies?
Big Brother veto meeting results are in including the names of the three nominees heading into Thursday night’s BB Blockbuster. Haley Thogmartin had to make a renom because of course Taylor Brown used the veto to save herself.
But there was some scrambling as people tried to keep themselves off the block as the renom. We’ll get into the veto meeting and some confrontations before it went down. Also, some thoughts about BB Time Capsule winner Dee Valladares and what she plans to do with her BB Bribe advantage.
On Sunday, Lyric Medeiros began to realize there was a good chance she could hit the block and was doing all she could to stop it. She went to Chuk Anyanwu and told him Haley said during the HOH comp that she wouldn’t nominate her.
Haley said that to Lyric but Haley also made clear she said nominate not renom. That’s just like what Kamuela “Kamu” Kirk told Jason De Puy. “I won’t nominate you today“. Then he renommed him.
So, Lyric worked both guys. She told them both that Mallory Aurichio was coming for them, threw Mallory under the bus hard trying to push for Haley to renom Mallory. It was Kamu who first went to Haley about Lyric on Saturday night to try to keep her off the block.
That sent Haley into a fit of anger. Then, Haley got a replay of that on Sunday night, when someone went to advocate for Lyric. And Haley got even more upset. Lyric’s strategy worked on both guys. And that infuriated Haley.
But even so, Lyric’s not her target for eviction. Drew Campbell is still the one his own alliance wants to target. Angela Murray is pushing for it so hard. Mallory’s in denial about Lyric trying to get her on the block as the renom to save herself.
What’s funny is Melody Morris acted shocked in front of Mallory when they heard that. Mallory actually tried to defend saying she didn’t do it in a malicious way. And ironic that Melody threw Mallory under the bus in week 1.
Then, last week, when there was a plan to try and save Jason which would greatly benefit Melody’s side of the house, she ran that right to Kamu. She ruined what could’ve been a move to get some balance in BB28. And now, Melody’s on the block, it’s clear Haley hates her.
And what’s funny is when Lyric talked to Haley pre-veto meeting trying to stay off the block, Haley laid into her about turning on her friends and allies. She told Lyric that she knows that Lyric talked a lot last night to a lot of different people and the stories were not the same.
Haley said Lyric’s jumping ship and it doesn’t look great that these are her best friends she is so quick to throw under the bus. Haley called out Lyric specifically for scrambling after Rome Seymour and Jason are gone. But that’s how you play Big Brother.
All that said, Lyric may actually be safe on the block even if she doesn’t win the Blockbuster. Melody and Drew are much bigger targets than she is right now. The Toolshed wants Drew gone and Barrett Pfeiffer abandoned him to save his own butt.
He’s not fully trash-talking Drew in convos with Rick Devens trying to stay safe. And also, Drew seems to think he’s safe when he’s not. Likely because everyone’s lying to him. Devens keeps insisting that Drew’s good this week.
At the veto meeting, Drew made a big speech asking Taylor to use the veto on him, which would never happen. Sure enough, she used the veto on herself and Haley put Lyric on the block. But even so, Haley doesn’t seem to want Lyric gone.
Also, there’s a big build happening in the backyard and a lot of the houseguests think it’s the wall comp. What’s funny is Barrett thinks Kamu will win it. Over the seasons, more women win the comp than men. My money’s on Mallory. She’s athletic.
And more muscular bulky men usually don’t do well. It’s smaller men that do better. Historical winners have won the wall comp twice. If it is the wall, Angela’s coming off first. Then I can see someone going second, Devens third. Then Haley and Kamu.
I’d really like to see them bring back other classic comps in BB28 like the Slip n Slide. I also like the spinning disc comp where they hang and are spun around and pelted and crash into stuff. That one hasn’t been around in a few seasons either.

Also, there’s Dee and her BB Bribe power. First of all, it’s a lame “power”. The only time they had it before, in a past season, someone bribed another person to do something they were already going to do — basically just gave a friend the cash.
But Dee’s not going to do that. Here’s why. She lied right to Devens face about the power and that’s her ride or die. What Dee got is not a strong power. Devens power’s great — the Diamond Power of Veto.
And the only really good powers left are the Mystery Competitor and Coin of Destiny. The Never-Not pass is meh. And Replay is very conditional and not a guaranteed power. Coin of Destiny’s the only major game changer in the mix and it’s still up for grabs.
But because Dee lied to Devens, I am pretty sure that she doesn’t ever plan to use that power as intended. Dee’s gameplay in past competition shows was a lot about strategically withholding information. And never making emotional decisions. Plus, she’s a comp beast.
So, this power she’s sitting on is doing her a lot more good unplayed than played. Dee’s sitting back and letting the speculation amp up and also the paranoia. Many people think Drew has it and is screwing with them. Some think that Mallory has it.
The power’s not worth much but withholding the fact that she won the power — that’s worth a lot more to Dee. So, no, I doubt she’ll use it or tell anyone she has it till BB28 is over. I could be wrong.
But having watched Dee play competition shows twice and seeing her play BB28 like this, that’s my prediction.
2026 has been an incredible year for film, with the current crop of theatrical options the perfect proof. After two weekends where Christopher Nolan‘s historical epic, The Odyssey, set records for the great director as it sailed towards the billion-dollar mark, the standard was blown out of the water with the arrival of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, Marvel’s last feature-length step on the road to Avengers: Doomsday. With over $900 million worldwide in its first weekend, Brand New Day is already making history, with 2026 looking like the best year for movies since the COVID-19 pandemic.
Of all the big movies released this year so far, from Spider-Man: Brand New Day to Curry Barker‘s record-breaking horror hit, Obsession, none can claim to be as cozy as Hugh Jackman’s The Sheep Detectives, based on Leonie Swann’s international bestseller Three Bags Full. One of the true gems of the year so far, The Sheep Detectives took home $131 million at the global box office, which, although falling short of financial success, was a total higher than many had predicted.
This heartwarming story of a flock of sheep who put the puzzle pieces together of the mysterious murder of their shepherd was penned by The Last of Us co-creator Craig Mazin and directed by Kyle Balda. The movie earned acclaim from both critics and audiences and is still proving popular three months after it debuted. At the time of writing, The Sheep Detectives is one of the ten most-streamed movies on Prime Video in the U.S.
The Sheep Detectives isn’t the only gem from this year’s theatrical circuit to be taking down the competition on Prime Video right now. Currently placing third in the ranks, behind the chart-topping new horror The Devil’s Mouth and the fantasy space opera Masters of the Universe, is the sci-fi masterpiece Project Hail Mary, one of the defining films of 2026. The Phil Lord and Christopher Miller-directed epic, which stars Ryan Gosling in a role sure to earn him awards recognition, earned an eye-watering $682 million worldwide during an extended box office run earlier this year, before making its way to streaming and continuing the success.
The Sheep Detectives is streaming on Prime Video. Stay tuned to Collider for more streaming updates.

Weeks after finalizing his divorce from Bunnie XO, Jelly Roll has reportedly shared that he’s planning to step away for “a year or two” to heal.
According to Country Now, Jelly Roll recently held a concert in Salt Lake City, Utah, and during the show, he shared a message with his fans. Per the outlet, the show was a part of his “The Little Ass Shed Tour,” which was held simultaneously with him appearing alongside Post Malone on the “The BIG ASS Stadium Tour Part 2.”
“This has truly been a lifetime experience for me. And in a couple of nights, I go to Colorado Springs and do my last show for a year or two. I’m fixing to take some time off and heal. Thank you for the opportunity,” he reportedly told the crowd.
Per the outlet, Jelly’s last show was on July 30.
According to PEOPLE, Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO settled their divorce in early July. This, weeks after their divorce filing surfaced in June. At the time, it was reported that Jelly Roll filed the paperwork on May 18. Additionally, he reportedly attributed their split to irreconcilable differences.
Per PEOPLE, details about their settlement are “confidential.” However, it appears they will be splitting their “homes, cars, an aircraft, and their intellectual properties.” Additionally, Bunnie XO will reportedly receive a one-time lump sum from her former husband of nearly a decade.
To note, despite their split, Bunnie shared that she and Jelly are still planning to welcome a child together via IVF.
As The Shade Room previously reported, last month, Jelly Roll’s daughter, Bailee Ann DeFord, went viral for her cryptic comments on his split from Bunnie. While on a livestream, she reportedly told viewers, “Don’t y’all ever come for my father’s name like that again. I’m so done. Get the f**k out of my DMs, out of my comments, my life with that s**t. I don’t care. I don’t want to talk about it.”
From there, she noted that neither her dad nor Bunnie had cheated on the other.
“Y’all have no f**king idea what happened, and wait ’till y’all find out. Just **king wait. Because I promise y’all, the view of what y’all have of not only the situation, but their relationship and the internet in totality is about to f**king crumble the day that I open my mouth,” she reportedly added.

The domestic box office exploded over the weekend with The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day delivering a record-breaking $430 million in combined revenue. Globally, the two films grossed more than $1 billion, with over $900 million coming from Spider-Man: Brand New Day alone. Considering how occupied audiences were, there weren’t too many major releases on streaming over the weekend. Taylor Sheridan‘s Lioness returned with a third season, while Prime Video debuted the survival horror film The Devil’s Mouth. This allowed a holdover hit from the previous week to continue its excellent run unimpeded by competition.
The movie in question was released on Netflix on July 23, immediately garnering global attention. It unfolds in Thailand and follows an ex-con who goes on a vengeful quest after being released from prison. He doesn’t seek revenge for himself, but for an old lady he grows fond of. He steps in to protect the lady and her granddaughter when she is harassed by local thugs working for the same loan shark he used to serve in a past life. In prison, the protagonist is diagnosed with a terminal illness, further pushing him on a path of redemption. Borrowing the lean narrative and action style of the John Wick franchise — the primary antagonist even compares the hero to Keanu Reeves‘ character in one scene — the movie has struck a chord with fans of Asian action movies and family melodramas.
We’re talking about the new Thai-language film The Debt Collector, starring Nadech Kugimiya and directed by Surapong Ploensang. According to FlixPatrol, the movie remains among the most-watched titles on the global Netflix chart even a week after release. According to the streamer’s own viewership report for the week of July 20 to July 26, The Debt Collector finished third on the non-English language movies list, amassing 7.6 million views. The English-language movies list was topped by the Kevin Hart-led comedy 72 Hours, followed by the new true-crime title A Toxic Love Story. The Debt Collector arrives on the heels of two critically acclaimed Asian action films — the brutal Hong Kong-style martial arts movie The Furious and the epic wuxia film Blades of the Guardians.
The Debt Collector is streaming now on Netflix. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
A 10-year-old boy doesn’t remember his heroic rescue after a giant wave swept him off his feet in ankle-deep water. Last month, a teen lifeguard pulled him from the hammering waves off the California coast. The incident went viral after footage of the intense moment circulated online.
Video of the rescue showed 16-year-old lifeguard Ryder Williams clinging to 10-year-old Nathaniel Rai as wave after wave crashed over them. The pair disappeared from view and reemerged after several seconds as the wave receded. The video of the rescue was seen around the world, even catching the attention of President Donald Trump.
Meanwhile, Ryder Williams said he saw the 10-year-old lose his footing in the shallow water. However, the water was too rough to get a rescue tube around the boy, who lost consciousness and went limp. The pair rode out a few more massive waves before a second lifeguard was able to help get them both back to shore, Williams said in a statement after the rescue.

This high school student and seasonal Santa Cruz State Parks lifeguard pulled off one of the most incredible rescues of the summer at Seabright Beach on July 25.

Nathaniel was on vacation with his mother on July 25 at Seabright Beach in Santa Cruz. That’s about 60 miles down the coast from San Francisco. Though the 10-year-old is thankful for the rescue, he told the Associated Press his memory of the incident is limited. After the waves knocked him over, Nathaniel said the next thing he remembered was lifeguards grabbing him.
“I told him I was thankful he saved my life,” the boy told The Associated Press from his father’s home in Dallas.
Additionally, regarding the rescue, Nathaniel Rai said, “I think I have a bruise from him holding me so tight.” Nathaniel said he had a little trouble breathing for a few days and his back was sore. But, other than the bruise, he is doing well.
Nathaniel has watched the video. Like his father, he is amazed at how strong the California waves were and the bravery shown by everyone who helped in the rescue.
“He was two seconds away from dying,” said Nathaniel’s father, Sumit Rai. “Another couple seconds, if Ryder had not gotten to him, he would have been thrown another 15, 20 feet out to sea, at which point you can’t see him, let alone retrieve him or rescue him.”
The father and son had a chance to talk to the lifeguard and his father. “It turns out we have a lot of common interests and it’s kind of a small world in that sense,” Sumit Rai said.
Associated Press writers Kendria LaFleur and Jeffrey Collins contributed to this report.

“Celebrity Apprentice” alum Piers Morgan is sticking up for his pal, Ariana Grande. On social media, the British broadcaster and TV personality urged fans to back off of the “Petal” singer days after her spokesperson revealed her plans to take a step back from the public eye following her tour’s conclusion.
On Instagram, Morgan posted a photo of himself with Grande and added a lengthy caption.
“I’ve no idea what’s going on with @arianagrande, but I do know, after spending a random evening with her in a Beverly Hills restaurant a few years ago, that she’s a genuinely great person: intelligent, funny, engaging, and of course, supremely talented,” he wrote.
Continuing, Morgan said that the level of fame Grande has is no easy task and explained that it can be a “very difficult and lonely place.” Morgan finished by urging the “trolls currently making her life a misery” to “back off” and give her the space she needs to get back to feeling like herself.

Morgan’s statement of support for Grande comes days after a representative for the singer revealed that she will pull back from the public eye at the end of her “Eternal Sunshine Tour,” which wraps on September 1.
“She looks forward to finishing the tour and ending it on a high note, both healthily and happily, and then taking a much-deserved break from public-facing work and appearances, which has led to endless, ongoing public scrutiny,” the rep said. “This tour has been a beautiful experience for her. She loves her fans and has loved every minute of this tour so much.”
While it’s unclear exactly why Grande has decided to pull back, many have assumed it’s due to the ongoing conversation and speculation surrounding her body, something the “Victorious” actress has condemned over the last several years.
“I think we should be gentler and less comfortable commenting on people’s bodies, no matter what,” she said in a 2023 TikTok. “There are ways to compliment someone or to ignore something that you see that you don’t like that I think we should help each other work towards.”

According to a previous report from The Blast, former “The View” co-host Meghan McCain was one of the public figures to speak out about Grande. Her comments came after the release of Grande’s latest music video, “Petal,” which prompted viewers to share their concerns about the singer’s health and well-being.
McCain allegedly shared a similar message, saying, “This reminds me of the Amy Winehouse era when it was blatantly obvious something was very wrong, but everyone around her just ignored and enabled it. This is very, VERY sad and she clearly needs help immediately.”

Internet personality Trisha Paytas is another celebrity who spoke out, according to Us Weekly, and said that the conversation surrounding Grande and her body was unacceptable. She added that she feels the internet has emboldened people to say whatever they want without consequences.
While she admitted she was also concerned about Grande, she said commenting publicly wasn’t her place and could only cause more harm than good.
“I just don’t think [commenting on people’s bodies] helps either way. It doesn’t help them want to get help, it doesn’t help them want to stop the problem. So many times when people say, ‘Oh, you look sick,’ or ‘We see your bones’ … it’s almost like encouraging, enabling that issue, if that makes sense,” she finished.

The announcement about Grande’s future only drew more attention to the singer, and during her show at Chicago’s United Center on August 3, she addressed the crowd with a handwritten letter. According to Grande, her choice to pull away from the public eye was not a rash decision.
“It is something that I had decided to plan,” she said before clarifying that the public’s opinion and “negativity” weren’t the reason. “No matter what noises exist out there, nothing will be able to distort my reality or be more real to me or not as real to me as this love that we share,” she added.
