Brand New Day’ Officially Defeats Zack Snyder’s Biggest Superhero Movie
The latest installment of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, delivered the second-biggest global box office debut in history. The movie was initially expected to gross under $600 million in its worldwide opening, but these projections picked up in the days leading up to its release. The final figure came to around $930 million, second in the all-time rankings behind fellow MCU blockbuster Avengers: Endgame, which opened with $1.2 billion worldwide in 2019. With this massive haul, Spider-Man: Brand New Day has already beaten the lifetime gross of Tom Holland‘s debut adventure as the friendly neighborhood superhero, Spider-Man: Homecoming. Needless to say, several blockbuster superhero movies, including rival DC titles, were steamrolled by Spider-Man: Brand New Day this past weekend.
Also featuring Zendaya, Jacob Batalon, Jon Bernthal, and Sadie Sink, Spider-Man: Brand New Day grossed $355 million domestically in its first weekend, falling marginally short of Avengers: Endgame‘s opening-weekend record of $357 million. That movie, directed by the Russo Brothers, also featured Holland’s Spider-Man in a prominent supporting role. It ended up grossing more than $2.7 billion worldwide, and for a while, was the highest-grossing hit in global box office history. It paved the way for Spider-Man: No Way Home, which grossed $1.9 billion worldwide in 2021 without a China release, and brought Holland and director Jon Watts‘ trilogy of Spidey movies to a resounding end. Spider-Man: Brand New Day, directed by Destin Daniel Cretton, is being presented as the start of a new trilogy.
Here’s How Much ‘Spider-Man: Brand New Day’ Has Grossed at the Box Office
Produced on a reported budget of $225 million, the movie opened to excellent reviews. It now holds a “Certified Fresh” 90% critics’ score and a “Verified Hot” 98% audience score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “Spinning a web of spectacular set pieces together with mature emotional stakes and Tom Holland’s soulful performance, Brand New Day is a promising reset that portends Spidey will remain sticky on the big screen for years to come.”
With a $927 million haul already, the movie has overtaken past superhero blockbusters such as Thor: Ragnarok, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. It has also beaten the $875 million lifetime haul of Zack Snyder‘s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. A sequel to Snyder’s Man of Steel, Batman v Superman opened to poor reviews and was viewed as an underperformer; the film’s performance ended up changing the course of the now-defunct DC Extended Universe.

Copy Stassi Schroeder’s Butter Yellow Bag With This $26 Version
Us Weekly has affiliate partnerships. We receive compensation when you click on a link and make a purchase. Learn more!
Stassi Schroeder is never afraid of a good trend, but this one might be her chicest yet. The House of Stassi star stepped out in New York City carrying a handbag in a butter yellow hue, a style that’s quietly replacing black as fashion’s favorite neutral this summer. It’s bright without being loud, polished without feeling stuffy and, luckily for Us, you don’t need a designer budget to get the look.
Schroeder was spotted in Hudson Square on July 29, 2026, wearing an all-white outfit complete with a flowy blouse, wide-leg pants and matching pumps. However, her butter yellow croc-embossed bag is what stole the spotlight, adding just enough color to make the entire outfit feel fresh.
Get the Coraid Small Top-Handle Purse for $26 (was $29) at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, August 3, 2026, but are subject to change.
While we don’t know the exact designer behind Schroeder’s bag, the Coraid Small Top-Handle Purse delivers the same polished vibe for $26. The structured silhouette, faux croc-embossed leather and top-handle shape gives it that expensive-looking finish, making it hard to believe the affordable price tag.
It’s not just pretty, either. The clever bag includes a detachable shoulder strap for hands-free wear, two interior compartments, a slip pocket and a magnetic snap closure to keep essentials organized.
An Amazon shopper who gave the purse a five-star rating admitted that it’s smaller than they expected, but it has “just enough room” for items like a cell phone, lipstick and more. It’s why we think this pick is ideal for everything from brunch dates to nights out.
The best part? Butter yellow plays surprisingly well with just about everything already hanging in your closet. It softens an all-black outfit, brightens white linen and gives blue denim an elevated feel. If the sunny shade isn’t for you, the purse also comes in black, pink, orange and several other colors.
No matter which shade you choose, fans pretty much approve of them all. One reviewer who opted for the red considers it a “super fun trendy bag.” They continued to say that it will “add the most perfect pop of color to outfits.” We tend to agree.
If you’ve been looking for one bag accessory that instantly makes summer basics feel more current, Schroeder may have convinced Us that butter yellow is the answer — and for $26, it’s an easy trend to try before everyone else catches on.

Mario Lopez Deletes ‘Creepy’ AI Video ‘Sexualizing’ His Niece
Mario Lopez is facing backlash after sharing an artificial intelligence-generated video of his niece eating hot dogs at a Los Angeles Dodgers game. The “Access Hollywood” host posted the altered clip following Sunday’s Dodgers-Red Sox matchup, where he attended the game with his niece, Kalia Wong, who goes by YaYa. Although the video appeared to be intended as a joke, social media users quickly branded it “creepy,” with several critics accusing Lopez of placing his niece in an unnecessarily suggestive scenario. The post was ultimately flagged by X with a notice informing viewers that the footage was created using AI.

The synthetic clip depicted Kalia eating two hot dogs while mustard and other toppings spilled onto her Dodgers jersey. Lopez’s voice could be heard narrating the moment as the AI-generated version of his niece smeared mustard and relish across her cheeks. “I can’t take her anywhere,” Lopez said in the clip.
The video then zoomed in on Kalia’s face as she continued spreading the condiments around. “Oh my God, look at you!” Lopez exclaimed. “You’re a mess, the mustard!”
“It’s so good!” Kalia yelled in response.
Lopez also posted the video to his Instagram Stories, where he wrote, “My niece is out of control!” However, it has since been deleted.
It is unclear from the information provided who generated the footage or which AI tool was used to create it.
The unusual visuals quickly caused confusion among viewers who initially appeared unsure whether they were watching real footage from the baseball game. X later added a notice indicating that readers had identified the clip as AI-generated.
The disclosure clarified why Kalia’s actions and the video’s overall appearance seemed unnatural. However, it did little to quiet the criticism directed at Lopez for sharing it.
AI tools can manipulate authentic photographs and videos to make people appear to perform actions that never occurred. In this case, the altered footage placed Lopez’s real-life niece at the center of a fictional scene.
Critics Called Mario Lopez’s Post ‘Creepy’

Journalist Yashar Ali was among the social media users who publicly questioned why Lopez would share the clip. “Uhhhh, what a creepy video for Mario Lopez to create using AI and then post… Especially since the subject is his niece!” Ali wrote.
Other viewers argued that the imagery appeared suggestive and inappropriate, regardless of whether Lopez intended the post to be humorous. “Using AI to sexualize your niece is weird and disgusting,” one critic said. Another user wrote, “Using Grok to double dog your niece is f-cking wild, man.”
Someone else took to X to write, “Hey man, remember when you once said parents supporting their trans kids is ‘dangerous?’ Curious how you feel about uncles using AI in a sexually fetishizing way towards their nieces.”
Some Viewers Wondered Whether Mario Lopez Was Hacked

The post appeared so out of character to some viewers that they questioned whether Lopez had uploaded it himself. Several users speculated that his social media account could have been compromised, although no evidence of a hack was provided.
One person described their confusion after realizing that the woman in the altered footage was Lopez’s actual niece. “I was so confused what the f-ck was this, until I realized this is his ACTUAL niece, and this is a video he generated showing her double stuffing two hot dogs in a weird fetishy way,” the user wrote. “Mario Lopez making weird incest AI slop def not on my bingo card this year.”
However, the available information does not establish that Lopez intended to sexualize his niece or personally generated the clip. Still, his decision to publish the video under his name left viewers demanding an explanation.
Alongside the controversial AI post, Lopez shared an authentic video showing him and Kalia enjoying Sunday’s baseball game together.
The real clip confirmed that the uncle and niece attended the Dodgers-Red Sox matchup, but the exaggerated actions shown in the AI version did not occur in the genuine footage described.

Aaron Rodgers Calls Anthony Fauci ‘Coward’ for Covid Response
Aaron Rodgers — who was criticized for refusing to adhere to the NFL’s COVID-19 protocol at the height of the pandemic — is attacking Dr. Anthony Fauci following the physician’s contentious Senate hearing on the government’s response to the public health crisis.
“I’m going to plead the fifth, like that absolute coward, Tony Fauci,” Rodgers, 42, said while appearing on the Monday, August 3, episode of ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show. “Absolute coward. Yeah. Are you kidding me? You got a pardon, and you pleaded over 100 times at the White House?” (Fauci, 85, received a preemptive presidential pardon from former president Joe Biden on January 20, 2025.)
The NFL quarterback continued, “What are you scared of, Tony? I thought you were the science. I thought you were, ‘I am science,’ and you get up there and you can’t answer a question?”
On July 29, Fauci declined to answer numerous questions during a fiery Senate hearing on the origins of COVID and the government’s handling of the pandemic. In prepared remarks, the On Call: A Doctor’s Journey in Public Service author said he wanted to avoid the very real possibility that Republicans would use portions of his testimony to potentially prosecute him for perjury. (Republican lawmakers have long threatened to prosecute Fauci for his role in the COVID-19 response. In the wake of his Senate hearing, Republican Sen. Rand Paul has scheduled a vote on a resolution that would hold the scientist in contempt of Congress, per Politico.)
Rodgers also appeared to take aim at various networks who spent time covering his own controversial remarks regarding the pandemic — and his refusal to obtain the safe and effective COVID vaccine — at the height of the crisis.
“How much time did the network spend on that? How much time did they spend on my responses every week, on my vaccination status? On Taylor [Swift] and Travis [Kelce’s] wedding? Did they do even a minute?” he argued. “Did they do even a minute on Tony Fauci? Nah I bet they didn’t.”
Rodgers sparked controversy in November 2021 when he tested positive for COVID-19 and admitted he was unvaccinated, despite previously telling reporters he was “immunized.” He was ordered to pay $14,650 for breaking the NFL’s COVID-19 protocols.
After Fauci’s Senate hearing testimony, Rodgers believes people should be less focused on his and other players’ personal lives and more on issues that impact the nation.
“I’m pleading the Fifth 😂😂
You’ve gotta be kidding me” ~ @AaronRodgers12 #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/kg3y0uMxxR
— Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) August 3, 2026
“Writing in his diary about how fun it is to be famous. You got to be kidding me,” the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback told host Pat McAfee. “Seriously, what are they going to say about me now? Now you can’t talk about the COVID stuff because obviously it was made, you know, in a lab in China. That’s not even questionable anymore. Tony Fauci is an absolute criminal.” (There is no definitive proof or scientific finding that has determined COVID-19 was purposefully made in a lab.)
In a diary entry from May 2020, Fauci wrote about the ramifications of becoming a household name during the pandemic. At no point, despite Republican claims, did the immunologist write that he wished to find fame as a result of the deadly pandemic.
“The situation with my national and international fame is explosive and really unimaginable,” he wrote via USA Today. “It is not [hyperbole] to say that today I am the most famous and talked about person in the country and one of the most recognizable [person] in the world.”
During his rant, Rodgers also made a point to remind viewers that he’s “on good terms” with his family.
“What are you gonna say now?” he asked, pointing to the media coverage of his family’s previous estrangement as another point of contention for the quarterback.
In July, Aaron made headlines when he shared photos with his once estranged mom Darla Rodgers, dad Ed Rodgers and brother Luke Rodgers. (It’s unclear where Aaron stands with his brother and The Bachelorette alum Jordan Rodgers.)
“It’s been a great, great life and a great career, and it’s nice to be sitting on this side now, especially after that coward pleaded the Fifth over 100 times,” Aaron said of his family and when referencing Fauci once again. “Why couldn’t you, uh, answer one question the entire time?”
In a statement to Us, Fauci’s attorney highlighted his client’s 54 years of public service at the National Institutes of Health, where the physician “established a lengthy record of cooperation with Congressional oversight and inquiries, including frequent testimony in both the Senate and the House during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.”
“The circumstances surrounding Dr. Fauci’s appearance today before the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, pursuant to a subpoena issued by Committee Chairman Rand Paul (R-KY), regrettably made his continued cooperation impossible,” the statement read. “For that reason, on the advice of his legal counsel, Dr. Fauci asserted his right under the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution to decline to answer questions.”
The statement continued, “Dr. Fauci devoted his lengthy career to saving millions of lives globally through scientific discovery and sound public health policy. The accusations that Chairman Paul continues to propagate are false and disgraceful, and we will examine all options to hold him accountable.”

Denise Richards Opens Up About Alledged Abuse From EX
Former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Denise Richards accused her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, of domestic abuse in July 2025, following his filing for divorce on the 7th of that month. Now, more than a year later, the mom of two is opening up to Bunnie XO about the abuse she allegedly faced in the marriage, including that it caused her to feel sympathy for him.

Richards appeared on the August 3 episode of Bunnie XO’s “Dumb Blonde Podcast.” While on the show, the actress opened up about her marriage to Phypers, stating that it did not “start out that way” regarding the alleged physical attacks. However, over time, she began to experience abuse that she considered to be “emotional,” “physical,” and “financial.”
She went on to state that Phypers became a “different person than the person I married.” Richards also claimed to feel that the medical professional had “conned” her. From there, Richards reflected on the situation, saying, “That’s the hardest part of it. We were together over eight years, married a little over six, and I never thought I would’ve been in this situation ever. And now I get it.”
Regarding the common perception about victims and survivors of abuse, the “RHOBH” alum said, “It’s easy to say, ‘Why wouldn’t someone leave,’ or ‘You should’ve known, you should’ve seen these things.’ A lot of people asked me that. I didn’t. I wouldn’t have married the person.”
The ‘RHOBH’ Alum Says She ‘Felt Bad’ For Aaron

Later in the interview, Richards responded to some of the claims Phypers made about her. First, she denied that she ever abused him. Additionally, the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” alum refuted his accusation that she had been unfaithful to him. However, she did admit to inappropriate texting with another man.
After that, she discussed the timeline of abuse, claiming that his first act of violence came shortly after their marriage. In recalling her reaction, she said, “I was so shocked. I was like, ‘Oh, f-ck. There’s no going back from this.’ My dad always taught my sister and I; he said, ‘If a man hits you once, he’ll hit you again.’ And I told him, I said, ‘I don’t know what to do.’”
She continued, saying that Phypers was “remorseful” after striking her for the first time. Because of this, she says she “felt bad for him.” As a result of the sympathy, she “played down” the alleged attack.
Richards continued reflecting, saying, “It was stuff that I could hide, on my arms or something. And then he gave me a black eye. And that was when I was like, ‘Oh, f-ck. What am I gonna do now? How am I gonna tell people?’ It was awful.”
Denise Says Aaron Gave Her A Black Eye After The Police Were Called

Richards then shed more light on the abuse she claims led her to sustain a black eye. Specifically, she stated that it happened after the police had been called due to an altercation at the residence. According to her, after the officers left, he called her a “f-cking b-tch” and then hit her.
She recalled wondering if her husband was “okay” following the attack. Richards then said, “I was so scared… And then it was just all the time, doing stuff. But [people] ask me, ‘How come you never called the police?’ I’m like, ‘I didn’t call the police, and they showed up, and that’s what happened to me.”
The former “RHOBH” personality went on to state that she was afraid to attempt leaving Phypers. She also said she became “so beaten down” that she “didn’t know how to leave.” The “Wild Things” star added, “It’s survival. He’s such a big guy. I’ve never laid a hand on him. Oh my God, I would not be here right now if I did.”
She Was Granted Permanent Restraining Order Against Aaron

Richards filed for a temporary restraining order from Phypers on July 16, 2025, after accusing him of physical and emotional abuse. According to Us Weekly, several months later in November, she was granted a permanent restraining order.
Under the order, Phypers must maintain a 100-yard distance from the actress until November 7, 2030. He’s also not allowed to contact her. Phypers is also prohibited from owning firearms following the restraining order.
Denise Richards Keeps An Active Profile In Hollywood

Amid her ongoing divorce from Phypers, Denise is extending her legendary acting career, including returning to “The Bold and the Beautiful” in May 2026. Additionally, she had a film, “Dirty Hands,” released on digital/video-on-demand platforms in April 2026.
According to IMDb, she has multiple projects in post-production.

General Hospital 2-Week Spoilers Aug 3-14: Anna Erupts as Dante Drops a Major Revelation!
General Hospital 2-Week Spoilers for August 3-14, 2026 stun with Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) causing some uproar with a big scene thanks to the crazy voice in her head. Plus, Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) drops a shocking truth bomb, but thankfully the one who hears his confession will not spill to anybody else.
Also in the two weeks of August 3rd through the 14th, we’ve got Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart) making big moves, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) scrambling, and Drew Cain (Cameron Mathison) looking for payback. Plus, Curtis Ashford’s (Donnell Turner) criminal trial begins and it gets messy fast.
General Hospital Spoilers: Jason’s Shocking Decision
On Monday, August 3rd, we have Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali) telling someone if he doesn’t like that, that is his problem. And the topic they are talking about is probably unclear at this point. For the sake of Danny Morgan(Asher Jared Antonyzyn), Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) makes a sacrifice and he decides to quit working for Sonny.
And he says with someone dead, Jason just can’t risk his life or freedom. Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) gets a secret after Dante tells her that he abused his power as commissioner. I’m betting Dante is going to confess that he destroyed the evidence that Rocco Falconeri (Finn Carr) shot someone. And Liz will be like, “Okay, fine.”
Carrying over from Friday, Valentin and Carly Corinthos (Laura Wright) are kissing at the Metro Court and Anna sees them and a hallucination tells Anna that Valentin’s too tied up in Carly to save her. And then Carly and Valentin are startled as Anna causes a big scene. She crashes into a server and dishes go flying everywhere.
Anna later tells Valentin that he just got his freedom back and now he is throwing it all away. Sounds like she’s not in favor of him being with Carly. And Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) asks someone why she didn’t hear about this before. Might have something to do with Curtis’ trial or at Deception.
Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) warns her boss Jack Brennan (Chris McKenna) and tells him he’s making himself vulnerable to a huge liability. This may be his involvement with someone. And Valentin is warning about someone. So, both parties are getting warned about being together.
GH Spoilers: Curtis Trial and Relationship Complications
Tuesday, August 4th, we’ve got Brook Lynn and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) celebrating a milestone. I suspect they signed the adoption papers for baby Phoebe Wilson (Lucia and Luna Creighton). Also, somebody has a lot to say to Trina. Maybe it’s something she needs to hear. And Curtis is skeptical. This could be about someone’s legal tactics.
Curtis still wants to accuse Isaiah Gannon (Sawandi Wilson) of being the second driver to justify the assault. Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) worries for his family’s future. I suspect this is about Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) wanting 50/50 custody, and Carly has a new plan, but it backfires.
Then on Wednesday, August 5th, it’s time for Curtis’s trial to kick off. I think his strategy is going to blow up in his face with zero evidence that Isaiah was the second driver. Brook Lynn, Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot), and Michael all know the truth, though.
Something inspires Ava Jerome (Maura West). And this might have to do with Sonny or about why Ethan Lovett (Christian Howard) left. And Sonny’s looking for answers. And this may be about why someone disappeared since he has ghosted Sonny and he ghosted Ava as well. And this week, Sonny and Ava have a tense chat. So, Sonny might blame Ava for why someone left town.
General Hospital Spoilers: Brooklyn Lynn is Struggling
Brook Lynn struggles with a big decision, and it could be about Curtis’ trial, because Brook Lynn may find out Isaiah’s accused of being the second driver, and the man has gone through enough, and this is all Brook Lynn’s fault. But on the other hand, it could have something to do with Deception. And speaking of that, Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) and Serena Baldwin (Kelly Krueger) are plotting.
Then on Thursday, August 6th, Sonny announces something that stuns people. He may tell Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst) and/or Carly that Jason quit on him. Carly may be concerned because Sonny won’t have Jason’s back. I’m sure Ric will be ecstatic. Serena puts a plan into action and makes a move. I suspect that is targeting Michael or someone because this is definitely about Deception.
Isaiah is put on the witness stand on Thursday. I’m sure this is when someone tries to bring up an accident and accuses Isaiah of being the other driver if the judge allows it, because come on, there’s no evidence. And this week, someone looks worried while at the courthouse with Isaiah. And they are going to testify against Curtis, but they are just telling the truth. Stella Henry (Vernee Watson) and Marshall Ashford (Robert Gossett) are at the trial as well.
GH Spoilers: Willow in Trouble
We also have Willow facing a new threat. It may be Jacinda Bracken (Paige Herschell), or she might be called in by the DA to testify during Curtis’s trial to refute what someone is saying. The DA might put her on the stand, which would not be a good look for her as a congresswoman.
Laura Collins (Genie Francis) gets the third degree from Lucy, likely about someone or someone. Then on Friday, August 7th, Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) and Anna reconnect. Lots to talk about there. Jordan’s accident, the damage to her face, Curtis’ trial, the baby, Anna’s ordeal.
I do wonder if Jordan will ask Anna to shut down the PCPD’s accusations against Willow to help Curtis in court. And Lucas Jones (Van Hansis) and Liz listen as Isaiah vents about something. And I’m sure it’s about Curtis and the trial because Isaiah is not going to be happy that Curtis is accusing him again with no evidence of being the other driver that left him and Jordan for dead. However, General Hospital spoilers say Isaiah gets happy news. So, it could be about his hand or that Curtis is going down for the unwarranted physical assault on him.
Ava may have a new ally. Could be Drew or someone new who may approach Ava for info on someone. Also this week, Brennan talks to someone at a location and she does not look happy with him. Someone gets a shock and it may be about Jason quitting on Sonny and Michael has questions for Jacinda.

General Hospital Spoilers: Summer Developments and Relationship Shifts
Summer spoilers say that Jacinda gets impatient with Willow’s role in Michael’s life. And then Jacinda takes matters into her own hands. The week of August 10th through the 14th, we’re going to see Ric’s jealousy of Dante and Liz increasing. He saw Dante coaching Liz in the park.
And after all the work that Ric has put into reuniting with Elizabeth, he might lose her to Dante. Our leaker said that there’s a chance they may reunite with Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn). So, we’ll see where this all goes and if we’re getting a couple shakeup. I actually wouldn’t mind seeing Ric back with Alexis and she hasn’t had a man in quite a while.
Laura has news about Kevin Collins (Jon Lindstrom) and summer spoilers say that their marriage is threatened. And since Jon Lindstrom is on contract over at Beyond the Gates and on the front burner there, they likely are going to write Kevin out in a more permanent way.
Michael and Jacinda hit a rough patch soon. I’m sure it’s because of her actions regarding Willow when she’s going rogue. Also, Serena’s in the mix and may get closer to Michael and Isaiah shares happy news with Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr). This may be about his civil case against Curtis or the criminal case or the surgeries to repair his hand.
GH Spoilers: Emma Worried and Sonny Struggles
Emma Scorpio-Drake (Brayden Bruner) worries how Gio Palmieri’s (Giovanni Mazza) career might impact their relationship. If Gio is off making music all the time, it could be problematic. People are reeling from Sonny’s big announcement, and we will find out soon if he got his power back.
And in the wake of someone’s arrest, Sonny’s trying to shore up his power in Port Charles. We’ll find out more about a new bad guy in town that sent someone scurrying away in fear. And we’ll learn more about Ava’s new alliance and why Sonny’s got to be upset about Ava yet again.
We’ll see if Lucy and Serena’s plan works and she can fight back against someone at Deception. And we will also see Anna being continually pressured by a hallucination to do something when Anna really doesn’t want to do it.
Valentin’s ready to move out of the Metro Court and into the castle, but Carly doesn’t want to stay at Wyndemere. So, we’ll see if Valentin can change her mind. Drew is looking for revenge on Willow, Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), and Jack and is going to be needing a partner in crime. Plus, Nina and Jack get much, much closer.

Are Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid Married? Pair Sparks Rumors
Marriage rumors are swirling after Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid were spotted wearing matching rings on that finger on their left hands.
The actor, 51, and the model, 31, were spotted walking hand-in-hand in Paris on Monday, August 3, as seen in photos obtained by Page Six. They each wore a thin band on their left ring finger.
Us has reached out to reps for Cooper and Hadid for comment.
Cooper and Hadid were dressed casually during the outing, with the Silver Linings Playbook star sporting a backwards baseball hat, a black T-shirt and gray athletic pants. He wore a pair of dark sunglasses over his eyes, while another pair hung from the collar of his shirt.
Hadid, meanwhile, wore a white tank top and jeans. She accessorized with a pair of sunglasses and a tan bag over her shoulder.
Hadid and Cooper were also spotted leaving a gym on Monday wearing athletic clothing. The influencer’s ring was visible, as seen in photos obtained by Page Six.
Hadid and Cooper began dating in October 2023, when they were seen heading to dinner in New York City. A source told Us at the time that despite the pair’s 20-year age gap, they “have a lot in common.”
“They’re both single parents to a young daughter, and they share a similar sense of humor,” the insider said. (Hadid shares daughter Khai, 5, with ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik, while Cooper shares daughter Lea De Seine, 9, with ex-girlfriend Irina Shayk.)
Hadid and Cooper went Instagram official in May 2025, when the latter celebrated her 30th birthday.
“I feel so lucky to be 30,” Hadid wrote alongside photos from her party, including one that showed her kissing Cooper and cradling his face. “I feel so lucky for every high and low — for all the lessons and gifts both have brought me. To get to feel it all! I’m so lucky to be a mom, friend, partner, sister, daughter, colleague to some of the most unbelievable humans!!”
Hadid continued, “So lucky for the support and encouragement from all of YOU around the world, every day and on my birthday last week. I had the best time celebrating, and it’s a blessing to feel so loved!! I am grateful and honored to take on a new decade.”
One year later, Cooper made a rare appearance at the 2026 Met Gala in support of his girlfriend. Though he did not walk the red carpet with Hadid, she gave her “man” a sweet shoutout during an interview on Vogue’s livestream.
“I try to bring my mind to a happy place. What we do in our job is go to a happy place, think of happy thoughts and the smile comes through the eyes and it makes you come to life,” she said while sharing how she stays focused at work. “When I think about Khai, maybe I’m giving joy. And then I’ll serve something else to Bradley for the camera.”

60 Years Later, Mary Jane Is Finally Stepping Out of Spider-Man’s Shadow
For nearly as long as Spider-Man has been swinging around on the pages of comic books, so has Mary Jane Watson been there by Peter Parker’s side as his true love. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the first time she fully appeared on the page, hitting Peter with one of the most iconic introductions in Marvel history: “Face it, Tiger… you just hit the jackpot!” Since then, she’s gone on to become one of the comic giant’s A-listers who has done so much more than just dating and marrying the Web-Head. She’s helped Peter with his superhero business, became a hero herself, saw their marriage erased by Mephisto in the pivotal One More Day storyline, became the host of Venom, and has been reinvented for the MCU. As long as Spider-Man exists, MJ will be there, with her own stories to tell that show her as much more than just a romantic interest.
In celebration of her long and storied history, Marvel Comics is releasing a new anthology, titled Mary Jane: Face It, Tiger, that pulls together a series of three stories from throughout her many appearances across the Marvel Universe to paint a full picture of who she has become since her bombastic first appearance. Each explores a vastly different era for MJ, from her party girl days to her happy marriage to Peter and her time as the All-New Venom. At the end of the issue will also be a little epilogue that teases what the future holds for the red-haired wonder after such a milestone anniversary. Several preview pages were shared ahead of release that offer a glimpse into the different lives MJ has lived and the vastly different tones the character has struck over the years.
The first page pictures what initially looks like an ideal morning for Peter and MJ in their home in Forest Hills, New York. As they sit down for breakfast, MJ notices that Peter isn’t acting like himself and, despite her assertions that they can work through his troubles together, his response is abnormally harsh and dismissive of the power of love to conquer all. Indeed, Peter isn’t feeling like himself because he’s not Peter at all, but one of his oldest foes, the Chameleon, giving Mary Jane a shock and putting her in grave danger. The next few pages, meanwhile, highlight Vamp #9, showing a romantic moment between the couple while MJ is dressed for a new vampire movie she has a small role in, each commiserating about their jobs but supporting each other in little ways. “Soft Words at Sunset” follows things up with a look at a much older MJ without Peter, reflecting on their relationship and the web-slinger’s attachment to love and legacies. It appears she’s going to visit the late Spidey’s grave and is left remembering the good memories and how their bond changed them both for the better.
‘Mary Jane: Face It, Tiger’ Teases the Next Steps in MJ’s Career
Last up is “Redux,” with a page showing MJ on set for a spooky Halloween commercial and proving how her years as an actor have turned her into a seasoned veteran. She shows she has just as much knowledge of how to fix a fog machine as she does of how contracts work and what actresses have to and don’t have to do. While the focus is on her coming to the support of another actress who’s outraged by her last-minute wardrobe change to something more revealing, it does offer a little hint at what’s to come and what the heroine does when not out fighting with her Symbiote. The story takes place in the present day amid MJ’s current run as Venom, so if you want the full context, Al Ewing‘s current run is a must-read.
After recently revisiting Kraven’s Last Hunt, writer J.M. DeMatteis pens the first story of the Mary Jane anthology, “Faces in the Crowd,” with art by Andrea Broccardo. They’re joined by a murderer’s row of fellow comic scribes and pencilers, including Ann Nocenti and Alina Yerofieieva for “Vamp #9,” J. Michael Straczynski and Luigi Zagaria for “Soft Words at Sunset,” and finally, Ashley Allen and Phil Noto for “Redux.” Finally, the dazzling cover that puts MJ front and center is courtesy of Jim Cheung, whose work has most notably adorned the front of New Avengers stories.
Mary Jane: Face It, Tiger hits store shelves on August 5. Check out the full preview in the gallery above.

Alec Baldwin Asks Wife Hilaria for ‘Another Baby’ in New Video
Alec Baldwin may have just hinted that he wants another baby with wife Hilaria Baldwin.
Hilaria, 42, donned a pink bikini in a video shared to Instagram on Monday, August 3, where she told Alec, 68, “I would do anything for you.” In response, Alec said, “Have another baby with me.”
Hilaria swatted the camera as she got up from her seat on the couch and walked away.
“When ‘I’d do anything for you’ meets reality with its terms and conditions … 😂,” Hilaria captioned the video, which was jointly shared to Alec’s account.
Alec became a father when he welcomed daughter Ireland in 1995 with ex-wife Kim Basinger. The actor went on to tie the knot with Hilaria in 2012, and the pair have since welcomed seven children: daughters Carmen, 12, María, 5, and Ilaria, 3, and sons Rafael, 10, Leonardo, 9, Romeo, 8, and Eduardo, 5.
“I would have said before [that I’m] definitely done,” Hilaria exclusively told Us in 2022 after welcoming their youngest child. “Seven kids in, I feel like I am, but it’s Alec and me — so, time will tell!”

In Hilaria’s perspective, the couple’s household hasn’t changed much since their youngest was born. “I have to say that once I passed three kids, I just embraced the chaos,” Hilaria told Us at the time. “We have a wild and super fun house. Always something going on.”
Hilaira went on to admit that “being truly present for each one of them is hard,” noting that she “obviously [doesn’t] get it right all the time.”
“My two oldest have nightly homework that I do with them, and to balance play with the younger ones, breast-feeding the youngest — it can get to be quite a juggle,” she reflected.
In 2025, Hilaria shared in an interview with People that Alec is “always asking me for more kids.”
“Don’t judge me,” Alec replied, before adding, “I don’t really want one.”
“Every now and then, when the baby gets older and grows up to be about 2, I look at [Hilaria] and I go, ‘Time to have another,’” he continued.
While Hilaria noted that the pair’s children are “so cute,” the yoga instructor added, “But my body’s really tired.”
Alec went on to point out that if the pair were not raising a family, he and Hilaria could have been enjoying time together on a trip.
“I always joke with her and say, ‘You know where I should be right now, don’t you? We should be on Geffen’s yacht, drinking a cappuccino and reading a book, and having dinner with Spielberg or whatever,’” he said, while Hilaria chimed in to note that the pair were instead changing diapers.

Bold and Beautiful 2-Week Spoilers Aug 3-14: Steffy Unleashes Fury While Bill Presses On!
Bold and the Beautiful 2-Week Spoilers for August 3-14, 2026 bring suspense with Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) absolutely losing it and ranting when things go sideways in Monaco. Plus, Bill Spencer (Don Diamont) is pushing hard to give one of his sons a reality check.
Also, in the two weeks of August 3rd through the 14th, we’re going to see Miss Dylan (Sydney Bullock) getting exactly what she wants. Katie Logan (Heather Tom) smells something off and Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) just cannot stop herself from scheming.
Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers:
On Monday, August 3rd, Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) looks to his adoptive mom, Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda), for guidance. Finn is feeling very torn between Steffy and Sheila and doesn’t know what to do. So, I’m sure he asks his mom, Li, for some advice. She’s pro-Sheila at this point.
Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) and Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) reach an impasse and they’re going to call it quits for good. Electra walks out on him at the beach house and Will looks absolutely devastated and we’ll see if he is upset that Dylan told Electra that she spent the night there.
I’m expecting carryover also from Friday’s conversation between R.J. and Dylan. I’m sure R.J. Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti) is thrilled to hear that Will and Dylan spent the night together because that makes R.J. look that much better than Will. And R.J. wants Electra to be officially his girl.
B&B Spoilers: Dylan After the Spencers
Then on Tuesday, August 4th, Dylan has her eye on the prestigious, powerful, and wealthy Spencer family. Seems like Dylan is being made out to be a gold digger all of a sudden. Totally out of left field. But Electra just said Dylan’s latching on to a wealthy family despite that all we’ve seen is Dylan being hardworking and supporting herself.
I think the headwriter is making her a villain despite all the nepotism babies on this show. Maybe because the headwriter is a nepotism baby himself. Not surprising he sees eye to eye with Electra and R.J.
Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) is still grappling with Daphne Rose Walton (Murielle Hilaire) heartbreaking diagnosis. She and Carter are so sad they can’t have biological children because Daphne is in early menopause. She feels like she’s letting Carter down even though she’s not. He is being so supportive.
And this week, Daphne tells Carter she can’t give him the life he always wanted. And he says Daphne is his life. We predicted a while back that she might tell Carter it’s okay if he doesn’t want to be with her so he can find a fertile woman who can give him biological kids. But no way is Carter going to do that. He loves Daphne and they will find a way through this together.
Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: RJ Whines & Electra Moves On
This week at the Forrester mansion, Eric Forrester (John McCook) and R.J. are talking over breakfast. And I’m sure that R.J. is going to waste no time telling Eric and the other Forresters that Will was intimate with Dylan even though he was already split up with Electra and they didn’t have sex. But also, every single other Forrester is a cheater. Grandpa Eric’s a total player, for instance.
Electra tries to get over Will and move on. I’m sure that Electra is going to be looking for payback and a way to ease her heartache because Will was kissing Dylan, even though it was after Electra dumped him yet again. And this week, we’re going to see Electra looking very upset at the Forrester mansion. And of course, R.J. is right there comforting her.
Bold Spoilers: Katie’s Concerns and Monaco Romance
Then on Wednesday, August 5th, Katie and Dylan meet for the first time, and it doesn’t go that well. Katie has definitely heard of Dylan because Will told Katie about him letting Dylan stay in the room above the garage when she was vehicularly homeless, but she and Katie haven’t really interacted before. And now she’s going to meet Dylan this week.
Katie looks pretty ticked off when she’s talking to Dylan at Will’s house. Katie is still in favor of Will pursuing Electra for reasons I cannot understand, and she sees Dylan as a threat. And later, Katie warns Will about Dylan. I’m sorry though, Katie needs to slow her role on this because Electra has been awful to Will.
Steffy offers Carter a shoulder to lean on. Steffy, of course, is Daphne’s bestie and was there when she got that horrible diagnosis. Plus, Steffy has known Carter for years, and I’m sure she feels terrible for both of them. Maybe Steffy will offer Carter an egg.
B&B Spoilers: Steffy Steps Up for Carter & Daphne
Steffy already mentioned it to Daphne, but she was too upset at the time to really think it through. Wyatt Spencer (Darin Brooks) hears about Will’s sleepover buddy and Wyatt’s going to find out that there is no imaginary friend named Nancy and she’s actually Miss Dylan. And Wyatt tells Will that continuing to pine for Electra is not healthy for him. I completely agree with Wyatt. Absolutely nothing about that relationship was healthy. Hopefully Wyatt and Bill will get Katie off the procure bandwagon.
We also have Zende Forrester (Delon de Metz) back on Wednesday and I wonder if Carter is going to talk to him about the plans for the shared hope for the future designs because Zende is kind of adrift right now without a purpose at Forrester Creations ever since Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) bailed and went over to Logan.
Then on Thursday, August 6th, we’ve got Bill trying to convince Will to look for a new love interest instead of Electra. I’m all for that. I bet Katie tells Bill she ran into Dylan at Will’s beach house and Bill may be thrilled, but I don’t think Katie is going to be happy at all. Maybe Katie just wants to defy the Foresters to keep Will with Electra. But come on, they are not Romeo and Juliet on Bold and the Beautiful.
And Dylan’s past makes Katie suspicious on Thursday. I really hope Katie’s not judging Dylan for being homeless and living in her car. And Katie might automatically assume that Dylan is a gold digger like Electra does. And again, out of character, a total retcon, but it feels like they’re going there anyway.
Bold and the Beautiful: Monaco and the Future
Friday, August 7th, when Steffy gets to Monaco, she’s feeling very hopeful. I’m sure she thinks she and Finn will be able to move on from their debate about Sheila, but that’s not going to happen. Things are going to go sideways. Steffy’s problems with Sheila follow her all the way to Monte Carlo.
Finn has some unexpected turbulence and I expect it could be emotional turbulence with Steffy and Sheila, but the plane might have some actual turbulence, too. And I think his mom is on the plane, but Finn doesn’t know it.
Steffy lands in Monaco and calls Finn, who is on the plane, and Steffy tells him to meet her at the church. Finn says he’ll be there the same time as before. Meanwhile, Sheila is in Finn’s office looking at his flight itinerary on his open laptop with a very sneaky smile on her face.
Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) prepares to take his relationship with Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) to the next level. Deacon might propose something, either marriage or maybe Deacon tells Taylor that he wants them to move in together.

Bold and Beautiful Spoilers: Monaco Romance for Everyone
Then the week of August 10th through the 14th, we’ve got Monaco looking amazing. And we’re going to have a couple episodes of The Beauty of Monte Carlo. It’ll be romantic for Steffy and Finn as well as Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang). And I think Steffy and Finn may renew their vows because they’re meeting at the church where he showed up to reveal to Steffy he was alive several years back.
Deacon and Taylor enjoy some alone time while Steffy and Finn are in Monaco. And Dylan and Will share a steamy night together very soon. Looks like they do the deed this time. Even if he is annoyed that Dylan told Electra about them having a sleepover, I think Dylan is going to work really hard to convince Will she is the woman for him.
Bold Spoilers: Electra & RJ Get Closer
Electra keeps getting closer to R.J. They may get intimate, but I think it’ll take longer than it takes Dylan to get Will into bed. We’ll see what happens in Monaco that changes everybody’s lives forever. As the headwriter promised, I think Sheila is going to save Steffy’s life, possibly both Steffy and Finn. There’s a confrontation between them on the beach and I suspect Sheila is stalking Finn and then Steffy sees her at the beach and freaks out. But then fate is going to intervene.
We may see Carter and Daphne looking at alternative ways to start their family and Katie may do some digging into Dylan to protect their son. And if Katie finds out that Dylan has family connections, you know that Katie is definitely going to freak out about that and tell a lot of people.
We could see Deacon and Taylor moving in together, or they might be engaged by the time Steffy and Finn are back from Monaco. And Sheila’s dream of being part of Finn and Steffy’s family might finally come true, at least on a probationary basis.

Dad Speaks Amid Rapper’s Ban From Daughter’s Party
In two days (August 5), Journey Porter will turn 4, and it appears that her mother, Jaidyn Alexis, is planning a celebration to remember! But this year, it appears that Blueface is not invited amid tension with his co-parent. In a recent livestream, he accused her of trying to control him using their daughter. Meanwhile, his father, Johnathan Porter Sr., hopped on the internet to drop a lil’ parenting advice. And fans seem to think the message is meant for his son!

Blueface Alleges Jaidyn Alexis Banned Him From Journey’s Party
As previously reported, Blueface and Jaidyn Alexis share two children, a son and a daughter. Also, he’s expecting a son with his live-in girlfriend, Nevaeh Akira. Though he once claimed to be the father of Chrisean Rock’s son, he’s denied any paternal relationship with the child on several occasions. He’s also said that Ronny Doe, Rock’s late ex-boyfriend, is the boy’s father.

During a recent stream, Blueface alleged that “she,” meaning Jaidyn Alexis, is treating Journey Porter’s birthday party like her own. “That’s very sad,” Blue said. The details of said party, including when it’s happening, remain unclear.
“Her daughter’s birthday is her birthday and she’s making the guest list and the dad is not allowed to come because he didn’t pay for it. Oh my God, that’s the dumbest b***h ever,” Blueface said, before shouting out Nevaeh Akira.
Speaking to his viewers, the rapper clarified that no one can use a kid to control him. Blue said: “I’m not going like that. You can’t control me with no kid, you can’t control my environment, you can’t control where I’m going. If I’m coming, if I’m not coming. I don’t operate like that. I’m not a controllable type of person. Until Jaidyn let my kids walk through this door and be a part of what I got going on here, it’ll be what it is. I got a kid on the way, I’m not about to put myself in no weird, risky situation.” Furthermore, the rapper said he needs to “feel safe” in his environment and won’t do things just to please Jaidyn Alexis.
In a circulating clip, Blue talked about only dealing with women who know how to control their emotions. He mentioned a woman still allowing a man to see his kids, even when angry. “Is you being mad really gon f*ck up the unity,” he said.
Johnathan Porter Sr. Shares Parenting Advice For The “Fellas”
On Instagram Stories, Blueface’s father didn’t hold back with his parenting take. Though he generalized his message, IG users in Live Bitez’s comment section connected the dots back to Blue. Johnathan Porter Sr. clarified that “a real man or father would never leave their kids in life.” He added that the first five years of a child’s life are “most important.”
“Kids are a lifetime commitment. The more you commit, the more successful they will become. Y’all see what I had to deal with. Never let a h*e get between you & yo kids period,” Johnathan Porter Sr. wrote.
Jaidyn Alexis & Yaya Mayweather Allegedly Dating Same Man
Planning to celebrate Journey Porter isn’t the only thing Jaidyn Alexis has been up to lately. In July, she appeared close and cozy with Kai Bandz, with him smacking her on the peach as she cooked for him. Later, they circled back to social media to share a joint post featuring photos of them together. Most recently, though, it looks like another influencer has eyes on Kai Bandz. Over the weekend, Yaya Mayweather posted a video of them talking as they pressed their faces against each other.
