Paramount Plus Is Basically Free for 2 Months With This July 4th Deal

CNET14 hours ago
There's no shortage of streaming services out there, which makes it tough to stay loyal to just one. Apple TV has Severance, Netflix gave us Squid Game, and Yellowjackets is a must-watch on Paramount. If you're tired of hopping between subscriptions or just want to save a few bucks, there's a limited-time Fourth of July deal that might help.
Right now, you can snag Paramount Plus Essential or Paramount Plus Premium for just $0.99 per month for two months, down from the usual $8 and $13 a month, respectively. The deal is open to both new and returning subscribers and runs through July 13. Be sure to sign up before the deadline to lock it in.
Both the plans give you access to 40,000 episodes and movies, live sports like NFL on CBS and the UEFA Champions League, and also allow you to stream on up to three devices at once. Just note that the Essential plan includes ads and only offers select Showtime originals. The Premium plan, on the other hand, is mostly ad-free, lets you stream CBS live, and even download your favorite content.
Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money.
The platform houses some of the best shows out there, from Twin Peaks to Yellowjackets, Dexter, Star Trek: Picard, and Why Women Kill. I loved spotting classics from my childhood -- Jimmy Neutron, The Fairly OddParents, SpongeBob SquarePants, and even Blue's Clues -- oh, the nostalgia. Once this promotion ends, you will be charged the regular monthly rate, which is $8 for the Essential plan and $13 for Paramount Premium.
Why this deal matters
Subscription costs can add up fast when you're using multiple platforms. This deal gets you Paramount Plus Essential or Premium for less than $1 a month, which is the cheapest way to catch up on your favorite shows, at least for the next two months.

Fourth of July legend Eric ‘Badlands' Booker takes The Post inside his chugging prowess

Last name, Bladder. First name, Greatest. Reigning Nathan's lemonade gallon chugging champ Eric 'Badlands' Booker is ready to wash away the competition this Independence Day, seeking a fifth straight championship belt in the hot dog eating contest's newest opening event. 'I'm just trying to chop my time down, take bigger and fewer gulps,' Booker, a 56-year-old dad of three who hails from Selden on Long Island, told The Post. 'It's kind of like a martial artist. They say the harder you hit, the faster you punch. … I'm pretty confident. I'm really confident,' added the man who set a world record with his 21-second chug off Stillwell Avenue last July 4. 3 Eric 'Badlands' Booker spoke with The Post ahead of the Fourth of July. Dennis A. Clark Booker, who recently retired as an MTA subway conductor, has been a core part of America's favorite eating endeavor for over a quarter century. He first qualified for the big stage at an Oceanside Nathan's in 1997 after downing 16 dogs in 12 minutes. 'I got the trophy, a spot at Coney Island, and I got a year's supply of hot dogs,' the gentle giant recalled. 'They gave me two boxes with 480 links of hot dogs. It was 60 pounds.' Good to be bad That fateful moment turned Booker into a regular ravenous competitor in the hot dog competition and other Major League Eating events — he says chicken wings are his favorite to scarf — as his lore began to grow. Fittingly, it was The Post who coined his 'Badlands' nickname in 2001 in an article surrounding the hype of then-newcomer Takeru Kobayashi and his opponents. 3 Eric 'Badlands' Booker has set numerous soda world records. Dennis A. Clark 'That's when it caught on. I felt honored. It's kind of like 'Top Gun.' They name once you really get there. So I ran with it,' said Booker, whose personal best was 40 hot dogs. Booker quickly went from stove to stardom and launched a food-themed hip-hop career during the mid-2000s with albums such as 'Hungry and Focused,' later going on to rap a recorded intro for the Nathan's contest in 2020. He also began a beverage consumption YouTube page, Badlands Chugs, in 2012, with the initial goal of chugging a two-liter Diet Coke bottle without burping. Out of all carbonated beverages, diet soda is the most belch-inducing, Booker warned. 'I remember it vividly. … I tried it, failed miserably. I had a nine-second burp that came out of that, which just went super viral,' he said. 'My son, Brandon, he filmed it with his iPhone, and my wife was upstairs, and she's just like, 'What's going on down there?!' ' Booker added of his son, fellow hip-hop producer OKHipHopOnline, with whom he collaborates. Since that fizzy fury, Badlands set numerous soda world records, glugging ocean water, pickle juice, and tons more fan-suggested concoctions while amassing almost 4 million followers. The nearly six-pound lemonade title belt, which he helped design, features a blue finish as a nod to the ocean chug, according to the champ, who has held the crown each year since its inception in 2021. That first year was just Booker vs. a timer, and his stunt was such a hit that Nathan's decided to bring in others for a full-fledged competition. Even flow Opposite to chowing down on hot dogs, Booker says that hot and steamy days are an advantage for downing lemonade out of a plastic jar while judges watch beneath the table for spillage. 3 Eric 'Badlands' Booker Dennis A. Clark On top of that, nowadays he spends his Fourth of July morning enthusiastically spitting bars to the crowd of 30,000 strong in South Brooklyn to pump everyone up to see the legendary Joey Chestnut in action. 'I'm probably dehydrated by the time I get up to do the chug,' he said. 'The last couple of years, when I drank my gallon, I just felt refreshed and hydrated. I'm ready to go, you know? I didn't have to use the bathroom for at least an hour.' As the undisputed lemonade king of the world, Booker is proud to have become a household name nearly 30 years after that fateful day in a Nassau County Nathan's. 'People recognize my voice on the subway,' he said. 'Hey, you're the guy from Nathan's! You're the chug guy!' It's awesome. I'll ring the horn or something, especially if we're at the station. Being recognized is amazing.'

Years After George Clooney Asked Tabloids To Stop Publishing Photos Of His Kids, Amal Clooney Said She Takes Away People's Phones When They Visit Her Home To Maintain That Privacy

It's no secret that George and Amal Clooney are very strict about maintaining the privacy of their kids. Related: Last year, George — who shares 8-year-old twins Alexander and Ella with his wife Amal — opened up about why he doesn't want photographs of his children circulating online. 'I have a goal of trying to protect, I don't want pictures of my kids,' he said in a GQ interview. 'We deal in very serious subject matters, with very serious bad guys, and we don't want to have photos of our kids out there. So we have to work hard at trying to stay private, and it's tricky, as you can imagine.' Related: A few years prior, George penned an open letter to the Daily Mail and other publications requesting that they refrain from publishing photos of his 'children's faces.' He wrote, 'I am a public figure and accept the oftentimes intrusive photos as part of the price to pay for doing my job. Our children have made no such commitment.' Now, Amal has opened up further about the lengths she goes to in order to avoid having her children photographed by anyone — including friends and family, it seems. Related: Speaking with Glamour magazine this week, Amal revealed that she and George often opt to entertain their family and friends at their house — and they make sure to confiscate everyone's phones while doing so. 'Creating private moments and spaces is becoming increasingly difficult. But that's also why we entertain a lot at home. I now have a phone basket that I use to take everyone's phones away!' she shared. 'It's important to get that balance where you have time alone with your family and with your friends where people feel like you can have a safe and frank exchange. And I would say becoming a parent means you're more troubled by some of the intrusions,' she continued. Related: 'So we do the best we can to minimize any impact on our children. We don't put our children out there, we've never put their photo out there or anything like that,' Amal added. Interesting! Let me know what you think in the comments.
