Jeffrey Osborne, 77, has still got it. The On the Wings of Love singer was recently caught on camera belting out some of his iconic tunes at a casual backyard barbecue — putting to rest any question about whether the celebrated crooner can still hit all the notes.
Osborne, whose hit song I Just Want to Be Your Friend served as the opening track for the 1982 classic film The Toy, was seen taking the mic at a recent backyard party, much to the delight of partygoers who quickly pulled out their phones to capture the unforgettable moment.At 77 years young, the four-time Grammy Award nominee appeared ageless as he took the microphone and graced the crowd with his unmistakable, soulful voice.
The video, captured by one of the attendees, was captioned, 'While I was DJ'ing Johnny Gill's Birthday/Memorial Day party, the legend himself Jeffrey Osborne showed us that his mic was ON!!! At 77, still sounding as strong as ever!!! What an amazing day!!'
Fans were quick to praise Osborne's timeless voice and youthful energy. One wrote, 'Jeffrey sounds as clean as the recording,' while another gushed, 'I REFUSE to believe he is 77.'Same, girl. Same.Osborne is best known for his classic ballads, but he has recently been mourning the loss of his beloved wife, Sheri Osborne, who passed away in March at the age of 69.

‘Coyote vs. Acme' Finally Reveals a Release Date at Comic-Con
If the long, twist-filled 'Coyote vs. Acme' fight for a release was 'It's a Wonderful Life,' then Ketchup Entertainment would be all the townspeople at the end (79-year-old spoiler) chipping in to make sure George Bailey doesn't go under. That's as far as the analogy goes, though film fans can easily guess who is Mr. Potter in this scenario. Regardless, the townspeople have won the day, and 'Coyote vs. Acme' is indeed on its way — finally — with a theatrical release set for August 28, 2026. To sum things up as quickly as possible: the $70 million live-action/animated movie was one of a few (paging 'Batgirl') that were shelved in 2023 as tax write-offs for Warner Bros. (to the tune of $30 million), even though the movie had tested well. After a fan outcry, the film was put up for sale to other studios… but then it quickly was dead in the water again, when nobody met the price WB wanted. A cast and crew funeral screening was even held for the movie. It was dead. George Bailey was going to jump off the bridge. More from IndieWire How 'Oh, Hi!' Makes Doomscrolling Funny What If 'The Virgin Suicides' Felt More Like a Cursed Object? Try the Feverish 'Honeycomb' for Summer Enter Clarence- eh… 'The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Toons Movie,' which Ketchup distributed, though it was only set for a streaming HBO Max (or Max at the time) release. They then made a deal earlier this year for 'Coyote vs. Acme,' which the film's star Will Forte expressed relief over earlier this year, telling THR, 'I never thought it would happen so it just came out of nowhere and I'm so thrilled,' he said. 'Thank you Ketchup Entertainment, I'm so excited for people to see this movie. I'm gonna promote the crap out of it, just tell me what you want me to do and I'll go, I'll do whatever — go to the top of Mount Everest, I'm there.' So the film's San Diego Comic-Con panel, to say the least, was hotly anticipated. And Ketchup did not disappoint. 'This movie wasn't suppose to come out,' panel moderator Paul Scheer said (via Deadline). 'I heard Warner Bros wouldn't release the film — I've never heard of Warner Bros! This is really an Acme decision and I'm saying that for legal purposes.' The even had 'an Acme lawyer' appear, attempting to halt the film's release. 'These are cease and desist papers from the Acme Corporation. You do not have permission to share information and footage from this anti-Acme film. Please leave the stage,' the performer said, then addressed a cosplaying audience member, 'As a copyrighted costume, sir, please disrobe.' May the other shelved Warner Bros. properties — which also includes another animated film 'Scoob! Holiday Haunt' — one day find such a rebirth. Until then, they await discovery at the Island of Misfit Toys. But that is another analogy for another day. Until then, check out 'Coyote vs. Acme' in theaters August 28, 2026.

11 best modest swimsuits under $100 for summer 2025 — shop my recommendations from Amazon, Adidas, Lululemon & more
These full-coverage options are lightweight, breathable and stylish. For far too long, I felt excluded when it comes to swimwear. I dress modestly, which for me means full-coverage clothing that covers everything but the face, hands and feet — even when in the water. Growing up, I felt like swimming was never really an option due to the lack of modest swimwear in the market. Luckily, modest swimsuits began to pop up more frequently, and now there are tons of options across styles and coverage preferences — including long swim tops, leggings, swim caps, swim hijabs and more. My personal go-to? A pair of swim leggings, a tunic-style rash guard and a swim hijab. I also love to have a swim skirt and cover-up on hand for extra coverage. If you're looking for a modest swimsuit, I've rounded up some of the best ones I've come across below. They're all under $100, and perfect for summer 2025. IDOPIP Three-Piece Muslim Swimsuit $47 at Amazon A three-piece-swimsuit that is the epitome of modest swimwear — full-length leggings, a full-length rash guard top and a hijab swimming cap. This set not only provides full coverage, but also UV protection. The fabric is lightweight, quick-drying and breathable, making it a comfortable and cute option for both in and out of the water. ⭐ Rating: 3.9/5 stars 🏅 Promising review: "It looks good and after getting wet it, won't attach to the body which is great." Etsy Modest Activewear/Swimwear Hoodie $77 at Etsy This swimwear hoodie is waterproof, high-neck and equipped with a hood that fully covers the head. When paired with swim leggings it makes for a great looser-fitting option. ⭐ Rating: 4.1/5 stars 🏅 Promising review: "I absolutely adore this hoodie! It's incredibly comfortable and the fit is just right, making it ideal for hijabi women." Adidas 3-Stripes Swim Leggings $44 $110 at Adidas These leggings are soft, comfortable, stretchy and high-rise — and perfect for pairing with a swim tunic or rash guard. These are actually a personal favourite of mine because they are available in larger sizes, which can be hard to find in modest swimwear. ⭐ Rating: 4.3/5 stars 🏅 Promising review: "These are my favourite swim leggings. They're great quality, super comfy and look great." La Vie en Rose Black Skirt Bikini Bottom $40 at La Vie En Rose Pro-tip: If a rash guard feels too short, a skirt is great to layer over swim leggings for extra coverage. CaptainSwim Women Modest Muslim Swimsuit $59 at Amazon If you're looking for something less form-fitting, this is a great option. The top is loose and breathable while still not being see-through. Both the top and bottom also feature a drawstring, which makes it easy to tighten as needed. ⭐ Rating: 3.7/5 stars 🏅 Promising review: "Modest and functional swimsuit. Always get compliments when I use!" Woman Within Chlorine Resistant Long-Sleeve Mock Neck Swim Tee $27 $90 at Woman Within This longer swim tee is great for pairing with leggings. It even has a mock collar for additional neck coverage. ⭐ Rating: 4.5/5 stars 🏅 Promising review: "I love how light the material is. Feels great on my skin." East Essence Black Overlap Modest Printed Yoke Detailing Swim Suit With Cap $70 $140 at East Essence A full set cap with a looser fit — perfect for summer. The best part? This suit is available in an extensive size range, as well as various length options. Penningtons Textured Dotted Long-Sleeve Rashguard with Built-In Bra $54 $90 at Penningtons This rash guard has a built-in bra, which is always great. The colour and pattern also make for a more vibrant option that's still full-coverage and modest — which can sometimes be hard to find. La Vie en Rose Long Gauze Shirt $46 at La Vie en Rose Even modest swimwear can still be form-fitting, so I always carry a cover-up to throw on when getting out of the water. IDOPIP Muslim Burkini Swimsuits $78 at Amazon This four-piece set has all the components of a modest swimsuit — a skirt, leggings, rash guard and swim cap. This is especially great for someone who may not want to commit to a certain style and wants to change things up as needed. Lululemon Women's Lightweight Performance Hijab $42 at Lululemon Many modest swimsuits do come with a swim cap, but not necessarily a full coverage hijab. If you're looking for additional coverage, this pinless performance hijab is quick-drying, stretchy and can fit under any sports shirt. ⭐ Rating: 4.3 /5 stars 🏅 Promising review: "Best sports hijab for the summer and any outdoor activities."

The Fantastic Four: First Steps – 1/6th scale Invisible Woman Collectible Figure 'I'm not giving up. We will face this together. We will fight it together… as a family.' – Invisible Woman Welcome to the family. Marvel Studios is set to introduce its First Family in The Fantastic Four: First Steps, a stylish, 1960s-inspired reboot that blends retro-futurism with thrilling superhero adventure. Set in an alternate Earth, the film introduces the Fantastic Four as they come together to face cosmic threats like Galactus and the Silver Surfer, while balancing their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond. Sue Storm, aka Invisible Woman, is the emotional and intellectual backbone of the team. Sue is not only a brilliant scientist and expectant mother, but also the strategic team leader who holds her family and mission together amidst chaos. As the 'most emotionally intelligent person on the planet', Sue's ability to blend compassion with strength and lead with her force-field and invisibility powers makes her the anchor of the Fantastic Four. Hot Toys is proud to present the 1/6th scale Invisible Woman Collectible Figure. The figure features a newly developed head with rolling eyeballs and meticulously sculpted icy-blonde hair to reflect Vanessa Kirby's likeness. She is dressed in her retro-futuristic Fantastic Four uniform with a coordinating belt and boots. The figure offers nine pieces of both gloved and ungloved interchangeable hands, allowing collectors to showcase her in relaxed stances or ability-using poses. Accessories include a translucent holographic force-field effect to recreate her energy shields, a baby Franklin Richards with slightly articulated limbs and nestled in a cradle covered by a removable lid, and a specially designed figure stand. A Special Edition only available in selected markets will include a specially designed The Fantastic Four: First Steps metal collectible card with display case. Complete the Fantastic Four: First Steps lineup by adding Invisible Woman to your collection, because every team needs leadership and a mother's love.
