From Ben Affleck's $20.5 million Los Angeles estate to Tom Brady's private-island compound in Miami, Hollywood's newly single men are spending staggering sums on post-divorce homes, and the price tags reveal just how costly modern celebrity breakups have become. Vernon Kay, the 52-year-old BBC Radio 2 presenter, is the latest to join the trend. The Daily Mail reported that Kay bought a £3 million house in Buckinghamshire, roughly 15 minutes from the family home he still shares with his ex-wife, Tess Daly. The couple announced their separation in May after 23 years of marriage and say they remain friends, but Kay is reportedly preparing to move into the new property, which includes a swimming pool and sprawling grounds. Kay's purchase…Open

Actress Busy Philipps, 47, went public with a rare malignant brain tumor diagnosis she kept private for months, crediting a full-body MRI scan she almost skipped with saving her life. Philipps disclosed the diagnosis on Instagram and in an interview with People Magazine, calling the ordeal "the weirdest six months of my life." The tumor, a grade 2 oligodendroglioma, a slow-growing malignancy found in only 1,100 to 1,300 Americans each year, was caught by a Prenuvo full-body MRI scan on February 12. She had no obvious symptoms. Her primary care doctor had told her she was "super healthy" and didn't need the scan. She got one anyway. And it found a 2.6-centimeter mass inside her brain. James Van Der Beek's death pushed her to keep the…Open

A group of baboons in Cape Town, South Africa, broke into a parked car, snatched a bag of KFC, and divvied up the chicken among themselves, all while the driver tried and failed to get her food back. The whole episode, captured on video and posted to TikTok with the caption "what a hectic day," plays out like a nature documentary crossed with a fast-food commercial. A baboon leaped into the vehicle, grabbed the bag, and bolted. When the unidentified female driver chased after the animal to retrieve her meal, the baboon turned and pounced, sending her running in the opposite direction. Within moments, the rest of the troop moved in. A trio of baboons bounded across car hoods and poked their heads through open windows, apparently scouting…Open

Jennifer Garner told a podcast audience she faced real financial fear after her divorce from Ben Affleck, a revelation that led the 54-year-old actress to co-found an organic food company now valued at three-quarters of a billion dollars. Garner appeared on the "Aspire" podcast, hosted by Emma Grede, and described herself as someone "who had never given a lot of thought to money" before her marriage ended. That changed fast. After stepping back from Hollywood to raise three children in Los Angeles, she realized the career she had put on hold might not be waiting for her, and that no massive divorce settlement was coming to cushion the landing. The actress, known for roles in "Juno," "Dallas Buyers Club," and "Deadpool & Wolverine," laid…Open

Families visiting Mount Rainier National Park returned from a day hike to find their hotel suddenly closed and its electricity cut, months after county officials first flagged dangerous conditions the property never fixed. Sarah Ruppenthal, her husband, and their two teenage sons walked back to the Gateway Inn in Ashford, Washington, around 1 p.m. on August 5 to find the building roped off and utility workers disconnecting power. Pierce County officials had ordered the property shut down over unresolved safety violations that dated back to February, when inspectors first flagged dangerous electrical wiring, broken smoke detectors, blocked exits, chimney defects posing carbon-monoxide risks, and unpermitted construction. The hotel had…Open

YouTube giant MrBeast and four friends spent 12 hours trying to outrun 100 off-duty Indiana State Police troopers at a military training facility, and lost with an hour and a half still on the clock. Jimmy Donaldson, the 26-year-old content creator better known as MrBeast, dropped the video this week under the title "I Got Hunted By 100 Real Cops." The premise was simple: five contestants try to evade a hundred real law-enforcement officers across the grounds of the Muscatatuck Urban Training Center in Indiana. If the troopers caught all five before time ran out, they'd split a $500,000 prize. If even one contestant survived the full 12 hours, the money stayed with MrBeast's team. The troopers, all participating off-duty, collected the…Open

From Beverly Hills to Napa Valley, high-end California hotels are rolling out elaborate afternoon tea services, a quiet trend that says more about the market for old-fashioned elegance than anyone might expect.

The venues stretch from the oceanfront Fairmont Miramar Hotel & Bungalows in Santa Monica to the historic Fairmont Breakers in Long Beach, with stops in Beverly Hills, Newport Beach, Pasadena, and Napa Valley in between. It is, on its face, a lifestyle story. But for readers who pay attention to where money flows and what consumers actually want, the…Open
