An absolutely darling ruffled romper so adorable, if there were a fashion dictionary, they'd have a picture of this under "cutest romper ever."
Promising review: "This romper is ideal for any occasion! Best part is that it does great in hot weather, and it can be dressed up or down.

A spaghetti strap top with a built-in bra that reviewers are comparing to its long-lost twin over at Alo Yoga. Long story short — messy divorce, Amazon, and Alo Yoga decided they'd each take one kid and never speak of the other. Kinda like that one Disney movie.
Promising reviews: "I have had my eye on the Alo Yoga top for $51 and found this one on Amazon for a fraction of that!! Fits me perfectly. There are no pads, but I prefer that. It does come with cup inserts, but the material is thick enough that nothing shows. #founditonamazon." —Jessica"This top is a swap for the Alo Yoga top. They look exactly alike!

A backless bodysuit with the ever-so-popular scrunch butt look that'll have you staring at yourself in the mirror, trying not to drool at how dang good you look. You and everyone who sees you will be completely gagged.
I have this and wear it everywhere — dance rehearsals, the gym, to run errands, literally any chance I get. It's so cute and v comfy and surprisingly, I mean, I have smaller boobs *but*, they don't pop out at dance classes or the gym, even with all the moving. It has removable pads so my boobies are supported and I can go braless no problem. It's squat-proof and *honorable mention* dance-proof. I did a four-hour rehearsal, and it didn't rip! Everyone wanted to know where I got it from. I need one in every color.Promising review: "This bodysuit is absolutely the best, the material is strong and stretchy.

Adam Scott reveals where he stands with ‘Boy Meets World's' Rider Strong after feud

Mr. Feeny would be proud. Adam Scott says he and Rider Strong have cleared the air following an awkward moment on the set of 'Boy Meets World.'

Advertisement During the July 24 episode of Entertainment Weekly's 'The Awardist' podcast, when asked in hindsight if confronting the awkward exchange truly brought him closure, Scott joked, 'No, we need to work it out.' He went on to clarify the opposite: 'Yeah, absolutely. I mean, Rider Strong, who the awkward interaction was with, didn't even remember it.

My favorite handheld fan is less than $13 right on Amazon right now

There are very few products I test or buy that end up on my 'obsessed' list. At NBC Select, we try out a lot of products from Amazon, whether it's a stain remover, toiletry bag or a whitening toothpaste but they don't always end up being products we love. One product I'd personally file under 'best thing I've ever bought' is the Jisulife Handheld fan. As someone who is almost always hot, especially during daily commutes or errands, this fan consistently comes to the rescue during heat waves, beach trips and more. Deal of the Day Around the size of a small body spray (think Sol de Janeiro), the Jisulife handheld fan has saved me from coming home dripping in sweat many times. It has two plastic blades at the top (they're hidden when it's closed) which aren't sharp at all and run at three speeds (I find that all of them are extremely cooling). One of its best features is the inclusion of USB and USB-C ports, which I use to charge the fan itself and also power up my phone or other compatible small electronics on the go .Plus, it has a flashlight on one end that comes in handy when I'm standing at my front door searching for my keys sitting at the bottom of my bag at night. It also comes with a wrist lanyard you can loop through the top if you want to keep your hand free while holding it. Keep in mind not all fan colors are equally discounted. Since talking my co-workers' ears off about how much I love this fan, I've been able to convince NBC Select's senior manager of community engagement Rosalie Sparaco to get one, too. 'Commuting while seven months pregnant in what seems like a weekly New York City heatwave is no joke,' she says. 'This fan has been great while I'm waiting for the train, walking to the office and even when I get into work and I'm just so sweaty. I love that I can use it handheld but also easily prop it up on my desk.' Why trust NBC Select? I'm a commerce editor at NBC Select where I write about deals, sales and product reviews. I bought the Jisulife handheld fan over a year ago and still use it regularly today.

Box Office: ‘Fantastic Four' Craters by 66% in Second Weekend, ‘Naked Gun' Debuts to $17 Million

Marvel's First Family might not save the day after all. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps' is quickly losing steam in its second weekend, signaling the comic book adventure isn't connecting at the box office beyond the film's core demographic of superhero fans. After a healthy $117.6 million debut, 'The Fantastic Four' suffered a hefty 66% drop in its sophomore outing with $40 million from 4,125 theaters. Heading into the weekend, box office analysts anticipated a decline of 55% to 60% from its opening. (By comparison, 'Superman' dropped by 53% in its second weekend after launching to $125 million earlier in July.) This painful fall is surprising because the Marvel tentpole has the benefit of positive reviews and word-of-mouth, as well as a clear runway in terms of competition. More from Variety 'Together' Stars Dave Franco and Alison Brie Relive Their Off-Screen Wedding: Weed Pens, Pizzeria Mozza and a Party Crasher Liam Neeson Jokes His Death as Qui-Gon Jinn in 'The Phantom Menace' Was 'A Bit Namby-Pamby': 'Please, Hardly a Master Jedi' 'Bad Guys 2' Director on Spoofing Elon Musk's SpaceX and How the Cold Open Was Influenced by 'Skyfall' and 'Mission: Impossible' Although those ticket sales were enough to rank as No. 1 on North American charts, 'The First Steps' endured one of the steeper second-weekend drops for Disney's Marvel Cinematic Universe, better than 'The Marvels' (down 78%) but in the company of February's 'Captain America: Brave New World' (down 68%), 2023's 'Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania' (down 70%) and 2022's 'Thor: Love and Thunder' (down 67%). So far, 'Fantastic Four' has generated $198 million domestically and $368 million globally. Luckily for Marvel, whose output has been wildly inconsistent in post-pandemic times, 'The First Steps' is pacing to outgross this year's prior theatrical disappointments of 'Captain America: Brave New World' ($415 million globally) and 'Thunderbolts' ($382 million globally). The final tally for 'Fantastic Four' won't be disastrous, à la 'The Marvels' ($206 million) or 'Thunderbolts,' but it's not yet a return to box office glory for Marvel. However, the MCU should officially regain its box office stride with its next three films — 2026's 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' and 'Avengers: Doomsday' and 2027's 'Avengers: Secret Wars.' ''Fantastic Four' is not a top-tier Marvel franchise. Never has been,' says analyst Jeff Bock of Exhibitor Relations. 'Remember, this ramps up into 'Avengers.' That's the real payoff.' Three new movies opened nationwide, but none were competing for the same audience as 'Fantastic Four.' Among new releases, Universal and DreamWorks Animation's heist comedy 'The Bad Guys 2' enjoyed the strongest start with $22.8 million from 3,852 venues. That's directly even with the first film, which opened to $23 million in 2022 at a time when cinemas were majorly struggling to recover from COVID and studios were barely releasing any movies. The original film eventually powered to $250 million worldwide. 'The Bad Guys 2,' which cost $80 million and follows a group of reformed criminals who relapse for one final con job, was embraced by audiences with an 'A' grade on CinemaScore exit polls. Overseas, 'The Bad Guys 2' landed with $16.3 million for a global total of $44.5 million. 'This is a good opening for an animation sequel,' says analyst David A. Gross of Franchise Entertainment Research. 'With this kind of business, the movie is doing what it's supposed to do.' At No. 3, Paramount's slapstick comedy 'The Naked Gun' debuted to $17 million from 3,344 theaters, right in line with projections. The film earned another $11.5 million at the international box office, bringing its global tally to $28.5 million. It's a promising start given the dearth of theatrical comedies. Akiva Schaffer of the Lonely Island fame directed the film, which carries a $42 million price tag. Critics and moviegoers dug 'The Naked Gun,' in which Liam Neeson stars as bumbling L.A. detective Frank Drebin Jr. (son of the late Leslie Nielsen's Frank Drebin, his predecessor in the 'Naked Gun' trilogy) alongside Pamela Anderson and Paul Walter Hauser. The movie scored an 'A-' grade on CinemaScore and boasts a 90% average on Rotten Tomatoes, both of which should bode well for the remainder of its theatrical run. 'The Naked Gun' appealed almost squarely to older white men; 62% of initial crowds were male, 50% were above 35 years old and 70% were Caucasian. This weekend's final newcomer, Neon's body-horror nightmare 'Together' landed in sixth place with $6.8 million over the traditional weekend and an encouraging $10.8 million during its first five days of release. Real-life husband and wife Dave Franco and Alison Brie star in 'Together' as a co-dependent couple who become frighteningly close after a mysterious force causes horrific body changes. Audiences gave the film a 'C+' on CinemaScore, though that harsh a grade isn't surprising since they likely left the theater feeling very disturbed. In fact, Neon has been leaning into the on-screen trauma to promote the movie, offering free couples therapy for partners who see 'Together' during opening weekend. Neon shelled out $17 million to buy the movie at Sundance, marking one of the richest deals in the festival's history. 'A lukewarm audience score is typical of these films and generally has little effect on how they play out,' Gross says. 'It's [a] smart horror production that's going to be profitable when it's finished.' Elsewhere at the box office, 'Superman' descended to fourth place with $13.9 million in its fourth weekend of release. The Warner Bros. and DC Studios adaptation has generated $316.2 million domestically and $551.2 million globally to date. Universal's 'Jurassic World Rebirth' rounded out the top five with $8.4 million in its fifth weekend of release. The dinosaur epic, which rebooted the long-running property with Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey and Mahershala Ali, has grossed $317 million in North America and $766 million globally. Overall, the box office is 9.5% ahead of last year but 23% behind 2019, the last pre-pandemic year, according to Comscore. Summer revenues just hit $3 billion from May through early August, so it's a question of whether this could be the second summer in post-COVID times — the year of 'Barbenheimer' was the first — to cross the $4 billion milestone. 'A solid home stretch of the summer is in the cards,' predicts senior Comscore analyst Paul Dergarabedian. 'The $4 billion benchmark is still about a $1 billion away, which is no cake walk but potentially in play.' Solve the daily Crossword
