Joan Anderson, who brought the hula hoop to the world, dies at age 101
1 of 2 | A reveler uses a hula hoop to corral a shark marching in the Mardi Gras Parade in St. Louis in 2019. Wham-O patented the hula hoop in 1963, which became a memorable fad that sold millions and became one of the company's best-known products. File Photo by Bill Greenblatt/UPI | License Photo July 29 (UPI) -- Joan Anderson, a largely unknown Australian woman who spent decades unacknowledged for introducing the world to the now-iconic hula hoop, has died. Anderson, who moved to the United States in 1946, noticed what would become the fad while on a trip visiting family in Australia years later, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's obituary. She observed a curious craze that involved groups of giggling people swinging wooden hoops around their waists. An intrigued Anderson returned to the United States, where her mother sent her one of the bamboo rings. A friend remarked that the hip-swiveling motion of its users resembled that of the Hawaiian hula dance, giving the toy its widely known name, according to the obituary. In the 2018 documentary Hula Girl, Anderson recalled how she and her husband met with an executive of American toy giant Wham-O who agreed to share profits if the hula hoop sold. Wham-O patented the hula hoop in 1963, which became a memorable fad that sold millions and became one of the company's best-known products. But Anderson's role in the introduction of the hula hoop went unacknowledged and she and her husband finally brought a lawsuit against the company that brought some financial compensation but no recognition, reports the BBC. Anderson worked as a model alongside Marlyn Monroe and had four children, according to the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. A statement from Anderson's family announcing her death said "She had a wonderful life and died peacefully on July 14, 2025 with her family around her."

Kelly Ripa, Mark Consuelos speak with David Muir about rooting for the underdogs as new Italian soccer team owners
Known for their hit morning show, "LIVE with Kelly and Mark," Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos are now sharing a new side of themselves with their audience. In an interview with ABC's "World News Tonight" anchor David Muir, ahead of a new ESPN docuseries about their journey of becoming Italian soccer team owners, the couple travels to Italy, back to where Consuelos spent most of his childhood, to help lift a town and their underdog soccer team that had been largely forgotten. The couple, who purchased part of Campobasso FC, a historic Italian soccer club formed in 1919, told Muir how their underdog story resonated with the team's passionate fanbase in southern Italy. "This project is particularly special to me," said Consuelos, who spent the first seven years of his youth in Italy. The couple's involvement came at a crucial time for Campobasso, located in a lesser-known region of Italy. "This town in this little-known region of Italy.. was in danger of losing their football club that they've had over 100 years," Consuelos explained. He credited his Italian mother for his love of the game, recalling her emotional reaction when Italy won the World Cup in 1982. Consuelos said owning part of the team has strengthened his bond with his mother, who now provides post-match critiques and discussions."She's actually very good; she should be in team management," Ripa joked. Their presence made an immediate impact on the community. Local residents, from elderly women waving from balconies to children wearing team jerseys, embraced the American owners who believed in their team's potential. "People have been fans for 40, 50 years, come up to you and say thank you," Consuelos said. "And then conversely, see the little kids who are just now wearing the jerseys and having something to root for - it's not work. It is an honor." Ripa emphasized their commitment to success: "We really want to win for them. Obviously, we want to win, but we really want to win for the town." The couple's journey with Campobasso FC is documented in "Running with the Wolves," a four-part series premiering July 29 on ESPN and ESPN+.

Beyoncé makes history with highest grossing country tour, earning over $400 million
Beyoncé Knowles-Carter concluded her groundbreaking "Cowboy Carter" tour in Las Vegas, making history with the highest grossing country tour as she surpassed $400 million in earnings. The Grammy-winning singer took her final bow on her Cowboy Carter and the Rodeo Chitlin' Circuit Tour at Allegiant Stadium in Vegas on July 26. She ended her run with a bang, bringing out Destiny's Child, Jay-Z and Shaboozey for surprise performances. The concert signaled the end of her "Cowboy Carter" era — a 32-stop stadium tour that spanned the U.S. and Europe. The nine-city stint grossed over $400 million with attendance over 1.5 million in its three-month run, according to Live Nation. Billboard reported Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" tour is the highest grossing country tour of all time and the shortest tour in any genre to make over $400 million. Beyoncé extends her record as the highest grossing Black artist of all time and the highest-grossing R&B artist of all time. With her "Cowboy Carter" tour, she also becomes the first woman and the first American act to have two separate tours gross over $400 million. Billboard reported Coldplay, Ed Sheeran and The Rolling Stones are the only other acts that have accomplished this feat. Beyoncé's Renaissance World Tour — Act 1 — reportedly grossed $580 million in 2023. As fans know, Beyoncé first debuted the highly anticipated show at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles on April 28 with 39 songs on the set list. The tour proved to be a revolutionary spectacle filled with fashion, different music genres and most notably country music and cultural commentary as she challenged industry norms. The megastar first released her eighth studio album, "Cowboy Carter," in March 2024. It has since made history and broken multiple records. As Beyoncé's first country album, she deliberately featured country legends and emerging Black country artists alike.
