Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, 46, said he is done with tattoos after getting his intricate tattoo sleeve refreshed. His reason? They hurt too much. According to Levine, who got his first tattoo at 21 and has upward of 30, he has “softened” with age. “I covered up my sleeve with another sleeve. Who does that? What is wrong with me? Psychotic,” Levine said in an interview with Today. He sat down with the outlet to promote his group’s forthcoming album, Love Is Like, out Aug. 15. Although he said getting tattoos is “fun,” it’s become too “painful“ for him to bear. “Now, I’ve softened. Now, when I get a tattoo, I’m like, ‘This hurts so badly.’ Like, ‘What’s wrong?’ We’re done,” he said. Levine told Today that his favorite ink is a message close to his heart. “I like the ones on my hands,” which spell out “true love” across eight of his fingers. Levine is married to model Benhati Prinsloo, and they share two daughters and a son.

Jeff Bezos’ New Do Has People Talking

BALD NO MORE

The famously bald Jeff Bezos has been photographed sporting a brand new hairstyle mere weeks after his lavish Venetian wedding to Lauren Sánchez Bezos. The Amazon founder was last seen with hair in 2013, shortly before he made the decision to go fully bald, when his hair was a dark brown. After shaving it off, his baldness became a key component of his image. Steve Jobs had his black turtlenecks, Bill Gates had his glasses, and Bezos had his shiny scalp—making it all the more surprising when he was spotted with thick white-grey hair around the sides of his scalp on an outing with his wife in Sun Valley, Idaho on Thursday. Photos from his wedding in Venice late last month show Bezos with some hair in the same region, but just two weeks later, his hair was looking significantly thicker in what People notes is “known as the donor area of the scalp.”

IT'S A SCREAM

Dexter: Resurrection / Paramount+

Dexter: Resurrection / Paramount+ Paramount+

East London has always been famed for its serial killers—Jack the Ripper being the most notorious. But for fans of Dexter, the city’s next infamous villain could be you. Paramount+ has set up a creepy new activation in the U.K. capital, giving people the chance to role-play as their favorite murderer to promote the release of the new show Dexter: Resurrection. Ticket holders will be able to join the Miami Metro Police Department forensics unit in putting the Ice Truck Killer’s victims back together, and snap a pic in Dexter’s iconic plastic wrap. The entire experience is guided by the voice of Michael C. Hall, the actor in the show’s title role, and ends with a wind-down at a killer Dexter-themed cocktail bar. The latest installment in the franchise, which dropped on the streaming service on July 11, is a sequel to both Dexter and Dexter: New Blood. But any budding serial killers will have to be quick—the exhibit opened on July 10 and runs until July 13.

Kelly Osbourne Sets Record Straight on Dad Ozzy’s Health

Kelly Osbourne, daughter of Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy Osbourne, posted a series of Instagram stories on Friday clearing up some rumors surrounding her father’s health. Responding to an AI-generated video that had been widely shared online, Osbourne said, “There’s this video going around on social media, and it’s supposed to be my dad, but it’s AI. And it has a voice like my dad’s David Attenborough or something, and it starts out saying, ‘I don’t need a doctor to tell me that I’m going to die. I know I’m going to die.’” Osbourne then added, ”What the f--- is wrong with you people? Why would you spend your time making a video like this?" before adding, “He’s not dying. Yes, he has Parkinson’s, and yes, his mobility is completely different than it used to be, but he’s not dying. What is wrong with you?” Ozzy recently appeared with his Black Sabbath bandmates at a farewell show. The day-long festival raised almost $200 million for three charities, including one dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson’s.

Never Lose Sight of Your Pup Again With This Cutting-Edge Collar

POOCH PROTECTION

SATELLAI

Dogs love to explore the world around them—but without a fence, that curiosity can lead to trouble. Instead of spending thousands of dollars on a fence, opt for SATELLAI’s innovative smart collar instead.

The lightweight and waterproof collar boasts an impressive battery life of up to five days on a single charge. Using the companion app, you can draw unlimited boundary zones. Think of them as invisible fences your dog can’t jump over, dig under, or sneak past. You can even set a danger zone within the virtual fence you have created. The collar trains your dog with feedback—tone, vibration, or static—so they learn the boundaries you create. The collar supports coverage areas from 0.5 to 100,000 acres. Both the feedback type and its intensity are fully customizable to suit your dog’s needs. Additionally, with access to five global navigation satellite systems in 180 countries, the collar delivers precise tracking, even in remote environments.

A telecom plan is required for full functionality of the SATELLAI collar—like boundary zones, GPS tracking, health monitoring, and escape alerts.

SATELLAI currently does not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, other U.S. territories, or APO/FPO addresses.

Rapper 50 Cent has hopped online to take another swipe at his longtime rival, Sean “Diddy” Combs. This time, the “In Da Club” artist shared a deeply unsettling AI video of Diddy walking the runway as if in a fashion show. And the outfit he’s modeling? A below-the-knee pink dress mimicking a bottle of baby oil. “I didn’t know Diddy walked in the Michael Amiri show, when did he make Bond!” the G-Unit star wrote on Instagram. The post, which was originally uploaded by Miami MC Geisha 305, included comments from fellow rapper Soulja Boy, who reacted with a string of laughing emojis. The whole thing is soundtracked to “Baby Oil Freak Off Party” by Jody2Good, sampling “Le Freak” by Chic. The roast plays on the vast quantities of Johnson’s baby oil found in raids on Combs’ Miami and Los Angeles mansions. The music mogul was found guilty on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution but not guilty of sex trafficking and racketeering. The pair have a notorious beef history dating back to 2006, when 50 accused Diddy of being involved in the murder of Biggie Smalls. “This s*** crazier then regular crazy,” 50 wrote in a previous post ripping into his rival about the baby oil.

King Charles Changes 106-Year Royal Dress Code Rule

King Charles, 76, wants more color in Buckingham Palace. Gone are the days of required all-white attire on the palace tennis courts, The Times reports. Now, royals, staff, and guests of the palace are allowed to wear colors while playing tennis, making the dress code of the royal residence more relaxed than Wimbledon’s. According to The Times, the king wanted to relax the dress code to make players feel less “restricted.” The palace’s hard court was constructed in 1919, and is most often used by the palace staff, though members of the royal family will occasionally play. Prince William and Kate Middleton are known fans of the sport; the Princess of Wales, 43, is among Wimbledon’s most famous patrons and was responsible for handing out trophies in 2023. In 2022, Wimbledon also amended its dress code, declaring that women could wear “solid, mid/dark-colored undershorts” provided they were not visible below their shorts or skirt to allow players on their period more comfort.

Fans Mourn TikTok Star Who Has Died Suddenly at 32

TRAGIC LOSS

A 32-year-old TikToker who uplifted millions of people with his hilarious Spanish-language videos died in his home in Mexico on Tuesday. Authorities in the Mexican state of Baja California have not commented on Aldo Miranda’s cause of death. The La Paz native gained a following of more than 10 million on TikTok through his reaction videos, in which he would show a series of internet memes (many of them dog-themed) and then cackle at their absurdity. On July 8, Miranda posted a message on his Instagram story which said “Thank you to everyone for everything” over a black background, leaving his fans confused and concerned. In a statement on Instagram, his management company wrote that “Sometimes internal battles are silent and we fail to see everything that someone has inside.” In the wake of his death, several media sources in Mexico initiated conversations about depression, which the World Health Organization reports is the leading cause of ill health and disability globally. Miranda’s followers mourned the content creator’s sudden passing online, with many returning to his most well-known TikTok videos from years past to express their condolences.

‘Parks and Rec’ Star Shuts Down ‘Dumb’ MAGA Fan Fantasy

PLEASE AND THANK YOU

Nick Offerman

Nick Offerman didn’t mince words when addressing anyone who thinks his Parks and Recreation character Ron Swanson would be a Donald Trump supporter. “Dumb people insist that Ron Swanson would’ve voted for Trump,” he said, not long after calling Michael Flynn Jr. a “dumb f---” on X for suggesting Swanson would be be anti-Pride Month. “Ron Swanson, a wonderful creation from much more brilliant minds than my own, people hold up for the wrong reasons, and take their own reading of this true Libertarian who was cool with everybody. And they somehow say, ‘Well, he had a shotgun, so he must be one of us,’” he said. According to Offerman, Swanson would think Trump is “an absolute idiot” and “would also despise him because he’s disrespectful to women and many others.”

EltaMD’s Derm-Approved SPF Is a Godsend for People Who Break Out Just *Thinking* About Sunscreen

IN THE CLEAR

EltaMD UV Clear Sunscreen

Ask any dermatologist what the most important step in your skincare routine is, and you’ll get the same answer every time: daily sunscreen—even if it’s cloudy, and even if you “don’t burn.” Not only is SPF one of the most effective tools for preventing premature aging, but it’s also crucial for protecting your skin from UV damage and lowering the risk of skin cancer.

Of course, knowing you should wear sunscreen and actually finding one your skin can tolerate are two very different things. For anyone with acne-prone, sensitive, or rosacea-prone skin, the wrong SPF can lead to breakouts, irritation, or a full-blown flare-up.

One SPF that consistently earns praise from dermatologists, aestheticians, and skin-sensitive users alike is EltaMD’s UV Clear Tinted Sunscreen. This mineral-based SPF is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, and specifically formulated for reactive skin. It’s infused with skin-supporting ingredients like niacinamide to help calm inflammation, smooth texture, and support an even skin tone without causing irritation.

The texture is lightweight and breathable, with a velvety demi-matte finish that layers beautifully under makeup and plays well with the skincare underneath it. And because it comes in untinted, tinted, and deep-tinted versions, it works for a wide range of skin tones—no chalky residue or white cast. If your skin has a history of rejecting sunscreen, this derm-loved favorite might just be the one that finally gets a yes.

Arizona Man Dies of Plague Within a Day of Showing Symptoms

SHOCKING DEATH

If you thought the bubonic plague died with the Dark Ages, think again. An unidentified patient from Coconino County was rushed to the Flagstaff Medical Center Emergency Department and died the same day, Northern Arizona Healthcare confirmed on Thursday. According to an autopsy, the man died from a severe lung infection caused by Yersinia pestis, otherwise known as the Black Death or the pneumonic plague, NBC reports. (The pneumonic plague is spread by respiratory transmission, as opposed to the bubonic plague, which is caused by bites from infected fleas.) According to the CDC, 14 people have died from the plague in the U.S. between 2000 and 2023. This marks the second fatal case of the plague in Coconino County since 2007, when a biologist in the Grand Canyon National Park was exposed to the virus while conducting an autopsy on a mountain lion. Cases of the plague are rare, but cases are reported every year in rural parts of the western U.S. and regions of Asia and Africa. There are no vaccines for the plague currently available in the U.S. The CDC recommends avoiding exposure to fleas as the best form of plague prevention.

Grammy Winner Reveals She’s Got ‘Burning Tongue Syndrome’

ON THE TIP OF HER TONGUE

Meghan Trainor, whose hits include the song “Lips Are Movin’,” is struggling with pain in a different part of her mouth. The Grammy-winner, 31, delved into the mysterious pain on the tip of her tongue Thursday morning on her podcast, attributing it to “burning tongue syndrome.” According to the Mayo Clinic, burning tongue is a symptom of burning mouth syndrome, which has no obvious cause. “My tongue is still burning,” Trainor said of her three-day-old tongue pain. In addition to impairing Trainor’s powerhouse voice—which sounded raspy on the podcast—the condition has also spread to her husband, actor Daryl Sabara, as well as her sons Riley and Barry. Trainor’s doctor prescribed her a mouthwash meant to treat the pain, but it hasn’t been effective, leading the singer to ask her fans to contact her “if anyone knows why my tip of my tongue is burning.“ Trainor is best known for her smash 2013 single “All About That Bass,” which shot to the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and sold 11 million copies worldwide. She also recently launched a makeup line with e.l.f. Cosmetics.
