Dog's Reaction When She Realizes They're Going to Grandma's Melts Hearts
The moment an owner pulled up to her mother's house with her dog in tow has captured the hearts of internet viewers because of the canine's excitement.
Lee owns a 2-year-old goldendoodle named Clementine, who has a "way of stealing people's hearts" the instant she meets them, the owner told Newsweek via email. But her pet has an especially close connection to Lee's mother.
As one of six kids, Lee said she is the only one not married, and she does not want children. This led her mother to recognize that the only grandkids she will get from Lee are the furry kind. And Clementine, in return, is obsessed with Lee's mom.
"Every time I go home to visit, Clementine can always be found snuggling on my mom's lap, or in her bed, watching her out the windows while my mom is in the garden, and following her around anywhere she goes," Lee said. "It also helps that my mom will make Clementine her very own special egg every morning that we're there."
However, Lee and Clementine visit only about three to five times a year. But, with how little they see each other in person, Clementine somehow knows the dirt road to grandma's house. Lee filmed her dog's reaction once the canine realized where they were going, and the owner shared it on her TikTok account @leelee_332.

Lee said the dirt road leads them to a bridge, and, once they get to that point, Clementine starts to stand in her seat; she recognizes the area and cannot contain her excitement.
In the video, the dog perks up and begins happily tapping her front paws on the center console. Clementine's tail furiously wags back and forth. She tries to get out the window without the car stopping, as she can't wait another second.
Clementine sprints out of the car toward grandma, jumping up and down with joy. For the length of her visit, Lee knows Clementine will be attached to her mother's hip, which she doesn't mind. Their special bond holds a special place in Lee's heart.
"I truly cherish every time I look over and see my mom in a conversation with Clementine while they're sitting on the porch, or the way Clementine will wait outside of the garden gate wanting to go in and see my mom," Lee said.
TikTok users felt the love radiating from the July 1 video. They couldn't get over her precious reaction, calling it a "wholesome" moment. They have also obsessed over the dog's name, which Lee feels suits her perfectly.

Astronomer HR chief resigns after Coldplay 'Kiss Cam' viral video
The human relations chief of the data tech company Astronomer has reportedly resigned along with its former CEO following the Coldplay 'Kiss Cam' viral video. The New York firm said in a statement that Kristin Cabot resigned as chief people officer and is "no longer with Astronomer," according to CNBC and BBC. The reports come days after Andy Byron "tendered his resignation" as CEO, the company wrote on an X post July 19 adding that "the Board of Directors has accepted." As of Thursday, July 24, the pair are no longer listed in the company's leadership page. The viral moment shows a man and a woman embracing each other before quickly letting go and ducking out of view when a "Kiss Cam" put them in the spotlight at a July 16 Coldplay concert in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The clip, with 124 million views on TikTok alone, shows the two holding each other before quickly letting go and ducking out of view when they spotted themselves on the Gilette Stadium Jumbotron screen. Neither Cabot or Byron have issued a public comment regarding their resignations. USA TODAY has reached out to Astronomer for comment. New CEO issues positive statement after controversy Co-founder Pete DeJoy, who assumed the role of interim CEO following Byron's resignation, commented on the controversies in a July 21 LinkedIn post titled "Moving Forward at Astronomer." He said the company has received more media attention in the wake of the kiss cam incident than most companies ever encounter. "The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this, Astronomer is now a household name," DeJoy wrote. While Astronomer has not specified exactly why Byron or Cabot have resigned, the firm wrote that the company "is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding. Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability."

Collin Morikawa Talks Authenticity, Finding the Flow and 'Happy Gilmore 2'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. When you think of golf, it's easy to imagine a stuffy sport complete with collared shirts and all sorts of etiquette. At the Masters, for example, the spectators aren't fans; they're patrons, and they cannot run or use cellphones. Happy Gilmore, a 1996 Adam Sandler movie about a hockey player turned golfer, shattered those norms. Rather than polite applause and hushed tones, we saw long drives, loud celebrations and a famous brawl with Bob Barker. It's a piece of pop culture that launched a thousand metaphorical ships. Who among us hasn't tried Gilmore's running drive at least once? And, nearly 30 years later, Sandler is back on the course with the likes of Travis Kelce, Bad Bunny and plenty of pro golfers along for the ride. One of those is Collin Morikawa, a two-time major winner (the 2020 PGA Championship and the 2021 Open Championship), who not only appears in the film but an accompanying U.S. Bank commercial. Collin Morikawa of the United States plays an approach shot on the first hole during day one of The 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club on July 17, 2025, in Portrush, Northern Ireland. Collin Morikawa of the United States plays an approach shot on the first hole during day one of The 153rd Open Championship at Royal Portrush Golf Club on July 17, 2025, in Portrush, Northern someone who has spent countless hours on the links, the franchise held a certain allure for Morikawa. "If you're a professional golfer and you don't remember every part of Happy Gilmore, I think something's wrong," he told Newsweek. "It's truly an iconic movie. It's something that, even when we're goofing around, you're able to pull out quotes. You're able to pull out scenes from the movie that we're able to incorporate just in our fun time, just when we're screwing around. It's absolutely been a part of my life, and what a special moment to be in Happy Gilmore 2." That resonance with the golf community also helped logistically—"It's fun when you have the team behind the golfer also rooting for you," producer and Happy Madison Productions co-founder Jack Giarraputo told Newsweek—but what about the personal side of things? Morikawa, for example, is fiercely competitive. When you fuse that with golf's more conservative nature, cracking jokes and riding a club like a bull (a signature Gilmore celebration) don't always seem natural. What do golf, Netflix and U.S. Bank have in common? Happy Gilmore 2! Premiering on Netflix July 25. #happygilmore2 — U.S. Bank (@usbank) July 16, 2025 But, at the same time, pro golfers are human beings, too. And when you get a good group together without the pressures of your day job, that's can certainly get the ball rolling. "It came into a time for us that we were able to be a little more free," Morikawa added. "It wasn't in the middle of our season; it was kind of where a lot of us felt a little more relaxed. We were able to come out here, hang out with these guys, have a lot of fun, have some drinks maybe. And just enjoy life. I think that's part of it. We stress ourselves out so much about what we're trying to do professionally that when we're able to kind of step outside our comfort zone, and then be in something so special like this, we've made memories and friends for life." But, at the same time, there are some parallels to golf. Morikawa was able to get into the right mental space and move forward from there. "I think it's finding the right zone," he said. "I think so much of my life is very structured in a way. That's just who I am. But all these guys are so good at what they do because when they're in this zone, what they are so passionate about, everything's just free flowing. Whether it's comedy or whether it's golf, you're able to kind of bridge that gap." If you believe those around him, Morikawa was able to bridge that gap without an issue. "The good thing about a sports guy like Collin [is that] he's an entertainer really, but in a different realm" Frank Coraci, director of the "Happy As Usual" campaign and some of Sandler's previous films, like The Waterboy and The Wedding Singer, told Newsweek. "Sports guys tend to be a little bit stiffer some of the time; not all of them, but a lot of them. He showed up, he had already been on the set of Happy Gilmore, so he kind of got how it worked, he watched how the rhythm of comedy works. So, I think I got lucky to get him when he was already understanding how it worked. But I was pleasantly surprised at how funny and how relaxed he after take, we kept trying different things and he just blew me away." "Collin was in, and I consider him the ringleader for, one of the craziest scenes in Happy Gilmore 2," Giarraputo added.

Courtesy of U.S. Bank And while getting involved in outlandish antics may not be standard golfer behavior—that's the entire conceit that underpins Happy Gilmore—Morikawa was able to find his sweet spot and simply be in the moment. Whether you're talking about sports, comedy or life, that's where the best results often lie. "When you try and compartmentalize too much, that's when you seem a little too structured, and you don't get the true, authentic side of yourself," Morikawa said. "You want to be able to be with these guys. I think being in the film, being in Happy Gilmore 2, you kind of see it as not authentic. So, you have to just truly go into these scenarios where maybe you're not comfortable and just because you're not comfortable doesn't mean you can't be yourself. You have to go into it and say, 'This is something new, but let's enjoy it. Be present, make a memory out of it,' and I've made a lot of memories from this."

Women of a certain age are finding themselves with Phoebe Philo
At any given moment, fashion has a main character. For the past few years, it's been the bookish but seductive, slightly frazzled woman of Miu Miu, with trends such as chipped nails, bag charms and miniskirts emanating from the brand's runways to TikTok and the streets. It felt right to have that young, intelligent but not quite together young woman as a guiding light in a moment when pop culture became dominated by 20-something female pop stars pushing the boundaries of freedom and music, and festooning everything with bows felt like a somehow silly feminist statement. Well, move over, girlies! There's a new woman in town: She's in her 50s, at least. She's busy — very, very busy. She does not look perfect — but she looks amazing. Not overdone, but strange, special, elegant. She is the focus of novels such as last summer's must-read novel, Miranda July's 'All Fours,' and age-gap fantasy films such as 'Babygirl' and 'Last Summer.' And in fashion, she is the brainchild of the British designer Phoebe Philo, who on Tuesday released the images of her fourth collection from her eponymous brand — called in the brand's parlance Collection D, a seasonless, trend-less slate of pieces that will be available in six months' time. The fashion world's Instagram feeds snapped into a frenzy, sharing pictures of her sandals with a series of rib-cage-like extra-long buckles and a fluffy but sharply shaped shearling bomber. Substackers joined in: 'Natural hair. Embracing age. Skin texture. Perfectly undone styling. And big aura. The Phoebe Philo woman!' wrote Zoë Yasemin Akihary. 'Something off in an otherwise perfect look: that's when chic happens,' wrote Edward Kanarecki. For this woman, putting on clothes, no matter how little time she has to do it, is a personal ritual. 'When I get dressed in the morning, I have my 15 minutes, and it's an act of self-care,' said Samira Nasr, the editor of Harper's Bazaar. 'And [Philo's] clothes allow me to feel cared for when I get dressed.' Philo invokes a mania more akin to a cult leader than a fashion designer. And it is safe to say that wherever Philo's eye goes, the world follows. It's almost impossible to overstate her influence — especially when few of the ideas of luxury designers are accessible, pragmatic or novel enough to permeate throughout the rest of culture. (The old cerulean sweater trickle-down paradigm of 'The Devil Wears Prada' is ancient history.) Women who call themselves the Philophiles still seek out the pieces she made during her time at Celine, from 2008 to 2017, on resale platforms. The language that Philo created at that brand, of oversize tailoring and fluid dresses with a boxy or blousy top, all done with a subdued sense of mischief, remains everywhere today. Its understated appeal was the building block of 'quiet luxury,' and this is still the predominant way that working women younger than 40 dress, as a look at Instagram or TikTok, or a walk around a white-collar office, will show you. Brands such as Frankie Shop, Favorite Daughter and Zara have iterated relentlessly on her Celine designs, making it accessible to a wide array of women even if they are unaware they're wearing a Philo-inspired garment. (And, as some of these knockoffs demonstrate, it is easier to make an oversize blazer than one that fits perfectly.) Perhaps that's because, although she speaks rarely publicly and lives quite privately, Philo designs autobiographically. The little pleasures and obsessions and annoyances and inconveniences of a woman's life are her lived experiences and the meat of her creativity. Few designers offer this mix of pragmatism and oddness (perhaps because there are so few female designers these days). Philo, who is now 51, is making clothes for her peers, making the 50-something woman, with all her eccentricities and anxieties and well-earned confidence, fashion's trendsetter, or even soothsayer. 'I'm a grown-ass woman, and her clothes make me feel like a grown-up,' said Nasr. Actress Tracee Ellis Ross, one of the most fashion-fluent women on the planet, let alone in Hollywood, has a ravenous dedication to Philo's clothes. 'I was online, waiting,' said Ross, who is 52, of the moment the brand launched in fall of 2023. While she often wears borrowed clothes for the red carpet, as many actresses do, 'everything [by Philo] that I've worn is stuff that I purchased.' She has brown trousers and an asymmetrical jacketlike top, fringy footwear she calls her 'horseshoes.' 'I have a rule about social media,' Ross said. 'I don't do anything for social media — it's what I'm already doing and what I am wearing. So I don't put on outfits to take a picture for social media. And Phoebe's clothes work for my sensibility and also how I live my life.' 'I can't wear certain things anymore,' said Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn, the founder of the New York gallery Salon 94, who is in her mid-50s. 'And I don't mind. I had a great time in them, but they are just not for me anymore. They're not for my age. And I feel my age in her clothes, and I feel good in my age. And that is something that distinguishes her clothes from many other designers.' While the brand launched less than two years ago, retailers are already seeing other designers taking notes from her work. 'She seems to have no intention to set trends and yet the impact of her work is immediate,' said Yumi Shin, chief merchandising officer at Bergdorf Goodman. 'When we launched Collection A as the brand's first physical retail experience, we saw the industry quickly embrace the crop bomber jacket, the slouch jeans, high-neck collar detail, leather jackets and trenches with detachable scarves. In Collection B, the overdyed T-shirts and denim also inspired others to follow suit and continues to do so.' While Philophile brands (and their cousin, the Rowdents) have diluted Philo's Celine concepts into something partly tasteful, the designer has adapted a naughtier attitude: one that embodies how women think about aging today. These are extraordinary but wearable clothes for adult women, and Philo is letting her freak flag fly with clothes that are not obviously flattering or cloying — a slightly radical act in an industry that lionizes youth. Philo's colors are not brown or pink or white but 'sludge,' 'floss pink,' 'apricot shearling' 'chewing gum,' 'salt.' Shirts have tails; jackets appear to have spines. These are not simply meant to be kooky ideas but real clothes to wear. Several of her customers described Philo's clothes as 'solving problems.' 'She's grounded in a very real world: I've got to actually wear these clothes and get from point A to point B, and things can be designed and can be beautiful, but they have to serve a function,' said Nasr, who has worn Philo's garments since the designer's days at Chloé in the early 2000s. 'And they're not necessarily here for male gaze. They're here for me to feel great and empowered in.' 'What's so remarkable about her thinking is that these are clothes that are meant to be worn every day,' said Shin. A T-shirt dress, or long ball skirt made of tiers of silk, might at once seem like an overly casual or overly formal idea — but her way of building clothes makes them wearable in a multitude of ways. And notably, they are different from a common but sometimes condescending romanticism of aging, that celebrates the graying woman in big jewelry and patchy fur. Philo's heroine is powerful and extraordinarily confident, and most of all, cool. The ferocious independence with which Philo operates her label has helped it maintain a cult status. While some in the industry have groaned that she mostly sells her clothing online and has not done a traditional runway show, that has kept her work from getting sucked into the social media pipeline that overexposes much of fashion. 'There is an element to the way Phoebe is dropping her clothes that allows for an allure that I love because it's not a thing that everybody has touched and grabbed and commented on,' said Ross. 'It's something that's like you either know or you don't.' Younger woman are now taking up the look. Lotta Volkova, who helped invent the Miu Miu girl as the brand's runway stylist, recently shared a picture of herself in a gorgeously odd skirt with a sculpted crest of jersey at the waist. The girl is all grown up.
