'Jaws 2'
Picking up four years after the events of the first film, 1978's 'Jaws 2″ sees Amity Island facing another killer shark threat. While Spielberg did not return to direct the sequel, with those duties going to French director Jeannot Szwarc, it did feature the return of Scheider, who reprises his role as police chief Brody. Lorraine Gary, who plays Brody's wife Ellen in 'Jaws,' also returns, as does Murray Hamilton as the infamous Mayor Vaughn.
Available on Tubi through Saturday; streams on Peacock beginning Sunday

'Jaws 3-D'
Directed by Joe Alves, the second sequel, 1983's 'Jaws 3-D' (or just 'Jaws III' if you've left your red and blue glasses in the '80s), ditches Amity Island for SeaWorld and a new cast of characters facing their own fishy situation. Dennis Quaid stars as Mike Brody, the son of Scheider's character, an engineer at the theme park who, along with girlfriend and biologist Kay (Bess Armstrong), face off with — you guessed it — a massive shark that's infiltrated SeaWorld. Thankfully, they get a little help from the park's resident dolphins, Cindy and Sandy.

'Jaws: The Revenge'
The fourth film, 1987's 'Jaws: The Revenge' directed by Joseph Sargent, is the laughable last entry in the saga. Despite its poor reception from critics and fans, it does feature an interesting main cast, with Gary reprising her role as Ellen from the first two films, while Oscar winner Michael Caine plays franchise newcomer Hoagie. Following the death of her son from yet another shark attack on Amity Island, Ellen (now a widow) absconds to the Bahamas to be with her family in mourning. However, a shark with a familiar set of teeth is there looking to exact some sweet revenge.

When does Love Island end? Here's when to expect the season finale

Love Island USA has become a phenomenon this year, dominating the social media feeds of Millennial and Gen Z users. And many are now wondering when will we find out who the winning couple is? Here's what we know: The seventh season of Love Island USA is coming to an end in a couple of weeks. The last two seasons had 37 episodes, with the final one being the reunion. If the current season follows suit with 37 episodes as well, the season finale will air on Sunday night, July 13. The show airs on Peacock. Typically, during the season finale, the three or four remaining couples go on their final date before the show announces which couple the viewers voted for and crowned as winners. The finales of the last two seasons featured four finalist couples. Juan Carlos Castillo is a New Jersey-based trending reporter for the USA Today Network. Find him on Twitter at _JCCastillo.

The Hottest Summer Love Stories We've Ever Published

Hello and welcome to the hottest time of the year. That's right, it's finally summer—we made it! And what do you do when the weather gets warmer, the nights get longer, and the clothes get skimpier? That's right: You head directly to the Hamptons for a spontaneous, one-day affair to remember with a wealthy stranger in his seaside mansion, accidentally fall for your best friend's dad on summer vacation in Spain, and—of course—spend an entire weekend getting over your ex-boyfriend by getting under a hot Australian lifeguard. Or that's how some of your favorite Cosmo writers have done it, anyway. If you're a fan of ours, then chances are you're also a fan of Confessay—our personal essay series where real folks like yourself share the hottest, completely true stories of their real-life sexual encounters in intimate detail. And while there's a Confessay for all seasons, there's just something about a sultry summertime romance that hits different. For your entertainment (and inspiration) as we slide into this, the steamiest of seasons, here are the hottest tales of summer love we've ever published, ranked. If you weren't sweating already, these stories will definitely have you cranking up the AC—and, of course, adding a few new items to your summer bucket list. 'Take a picture of me,' I said, my knees nearly touching the dusty ground of the alleyway. It was June, a hot and humid summer in the South of France, and I was kneeling in front of a French man I had met less than six hours earlier. 'C'mon, take a picture of me,' I smiled, balancing on the balls of my feet with my skirt hiked up my legs, looking longingly up at him as I felt his body give way to me. He hesitated a little. 'Are you sure?' he asked. 'Yes, I'm sure,' I said with a longing stare. He paused but not so long that I became impatient. I started like this: teasing him with my fingers, his grey boxers between my skin and his, feeling his hardness push against them. Pulling them down slowly and then all at once, I could hear his breathing change as my lips came into contact with his thighs. He smelled like aftershave, the five cigarettes he'd smoked on the beach, and the subtle scent that summer leaves on your skin…. Read It! It was a flawless summer day and I was going to the beach. Did I have any plans to go to the beach? Absolutely none. But being a modern woman of the world—or at least a woman with access to dating apps—I didn't see any reason I couldn't Tinder some up. I threw on a bikini and got to swiping for the lucky rando who would have the honor of escorting me to the coast that day. Truth be told, I'd been in a bit of a dating dry spell—and thus, by extension, a sexing one—for the past several months. And the longer it's been, the higher my standards. Still, I somehow had faith that the dating app gods would bring me the perfect beach date that day. Miraculously, they delivered—a fit, tan, early-50s daddy type who, as a 20-something with a thing for older guys, just so happened to be my type. Within just a few messages, he invited me out to his house in the Hamptons. This beach day had just gotten a lot more glamorous…. Read it! 'Hey, I don't mean to bother you but, uh, you were the girl doing cartwheels earlier, right?' some handsome guy asked, taking off his sunglasses to look me in the eye. Yes, yes I was the 30-year-old woman in a red G-string bikini doing gymnastics on the beach. What can I say? I'm old enough to know what not to do and young enough to get away with it. I closed my journal and gave him a once over. Fit! This could be fun, I thought. So even though I'd planned for my solo beach day to be about healing my inner child (per my therapist) and getting sexy tan lines (per my OnlyFans), I decided to go off script and indulge with Matt*. We vibed right away—flirting about psychedelics and love languages—and exchanged socials before going our separate ways. A few hours later, Matt slid into my DMs, showing me a present he had for me: a black Vixen thong bikini. He told me he loved buying merch from sex-worker-owned companies and I couldn't help but giggle—he had no idea he was talking to a sex worker in the flesh…. Read it! For many Americans, the Fourth of July is a day of hot dogs and pyrotechnics. And for me, one fateful Independence Day about five years ago, it was also a day for metaphorical fireworks—in the form of one of the best public quickies I've ever had. Hanging with my friends in the park as we waited for the first colorful boom to flash above us, a redheaded hottie caught my eye—killer smile in a blue flannel shirt, freckles dusted beautifully across the bridge of his nose, and eyes so deep blue, they almost looked brown in the fading light. I tried desperately not to stare, but he must have felt my gaze—within moments, he broke from his conversation and looked right over at me. Embarrassed to be caught ogling, I quickly looked away. But mere seconds later, I checked over to see if I had thrown him off. Nope: He locked eyes with me and gave me a little mischievous smile. My heart started racing; I felt like I was in trouble—but the good kind of trouble. And damn if I wasn't game to see just how much trouble we could get into together…. Read it! When my long-distance bestie, Maria*, invited me to come spend my summer break with her at her dad's place in Granada, I booked the budget airline tickets and landed in Spain sooner than you could say hasta luego. After we caught up on the drive home from the airport, Maria introduced me to her dad, Marco*. When she'd mentioned her dad previously, I'd always imagined a beer belly and receding hairline (not that there's anything wrong with a dad bod). But Marco had the physique of a Hemsworth brother with a strong jawline and muscles practically bulging through his shirt. He was probably in his mid-40s and had the same dark curls and chocolate eyes as Maria, but stood a foot taller at 6'3" and flaunted a deeper tan. The flecks of gray peppered throughout his hair and the smile lines around his eyes just made him look even sexier. As a serial dater of guys my age, I hadn't really understood the appeal of older men until that exact moment…. A few years ago, when my beach lifeguard best friend suggested I come down to visit her at the guard house to take my mind off a recent breakup, I jumped at the opportunity. 'Just get in the car now and come down for the weekend,' Megan* told me over the phone. 'There are, like, a million hot Australian men here.' Soon enough, there I was, in a seaside bar surrounded by tons of hot Australian men…and one very hot Australian woman. Alex* had long, blonde wavy hair, sun-kissed skin, impressively toned arms and legs, and that warm, endearing Aussie accent. I couldn't stop staring at her sky-blue eyes. At one point, her hand 'accidentally' brushed against the inside of my upper thigh, and I knew in that instant I wouldn't be bothering with any boys that weekend. When we got to the beach, everyone flung their clothes in the dunes before running to the ocean. I snuck a glance at Alex's tits, which were alarmingly perfect: somehow huge and perky at the same time. I grabbed her hand tightly as we ran into the freezing-cold water, diving under moonlit waves to swim farther out from where the rest of the group was floating…. Read it! *Name has been changed.

Nelly & Ashanti's Reality Show Is Going Viral For The Wrong Reasons

For the most part, 'Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together' is one of the most entertaining PSAs for circling the block that I've ever seen. The couple famously dated on and off throughout the 2000s, and then rumors started swirling that they broke up in 2013. (Ashanti confirmed their split in 2015.) They appeared to rekindle their relationship in April 2023 after being spotted holding hands at a boxing match in Las Vegas. In the series premiere, 'Breakup 2 Makeup,' the couple jumps right into where their lives stand now: married, united, with a new baby and enjoying each other's company. It's not surprising that 'Nelly & Ashanti' is already charting high on Peacock, where it premiered last Thursday. It's generating a lot of internet chatter for two very different reasons: how much the couple cackles with each other, as noted by People, and how upset people have been about Nelly's comments about parenting. On the show, Nelly complains — jokingly yet repeatedly — that 'nobody cares about dad' and that he's in'second place' since the new baby arrived in July of last year. Many people across social media have also taken issue with Nelly's declaration that he is not changing diapers. Ashanti better than me cause I would've put that baby right up to Nelly ear while he was sleeping 😭 — Loud and Right. (@b0mbchell_) June 29, 2025 So the people are saying that Nelly's a Trump supporter, doesn't change diapers, won't step up until the baby is walking, is jealous of the baby taking up all Ashanti's time? Is all that right? Ashanti got her good man, Savannah. — Uncle Rodney (@rodneythavoice) June 29, 2025 Nelly really said 'I'll give you the world I'm just not changing no diapers' as a whole dad. SMH — (@jewell_ebonyy) June 30, 2025 Men like Nelly are liars. They'll say don't change diapers. They'll get them when they start walking. Then it turns into when they're school age. Then it turns to when they turn 12. — Optimistic Instigator🕵🏽♀️ (@LePetiteLeRoux) June 29, 2025 'It's all you, I ain't even gonna lie,' Nelly tells Ashanti on the show. 'You know I ain't got nothing for him.' His rationale is that he is rich and willing to pay for as many nannies as possible; therefore, he's not doing it. As a gay uncle who changed a lot of diapers at one point in my life, I am not aligning myself with Nelly on this topic. But I will say that many men, regardless of tax bracket, agree with him about not changing diapers. The show also explores Nelly's infamous choice to perform at President Donald Trump's second presidential inauguration. 'I feel like this is an opportunity for me,' Nelly tells Ashanti while debating whether to perform. 'For me, the politics is over,' he continued. 'We're talking about performing for the president. Ain't no other president ask me a damn thing.' For Nelly, who says he was born on a military base and has had several family members serve in the military, if they are willing to do their duties for presidents not of their choosing, he could perform for Trump. Nelly also takes aim at critics who think Trump is using him as a performer because of his race. 'Are you for DEI or not?' he quips in the confessional, referring to diversity, equity and inclusion programs, which have been systematically dismantled in the Trump administration. Ashanti is visibly not aligned with this position, but she listens to her husband speak, and, even when pressed by probing producers, does not publicly go against him. Her mother and momager Tina Douglas offers the most clues about her daughter's position when she mentions that her father was incredibly active in the civil rights movement. I don't fault Ashanti for not saying anything; it's her husband, and it's a sensitive topic. Nelly does not regret his decision, but he does seem to recognize how his decision impacted others. After the inauguration, social media users piled on Ashanti and even their baby boy, KK, for Nelly's decision to perform. I do find it unfair to hold Ashanti accountable for the positions of her husband. As for Nelly's position, it would be reductive to reduce him to a MAGA bot after hearing his explanation for going through with the performance. If you can look past these controversies, 'Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together' is a nice throwback to more 'wholesome' reality shows of the early 2000s. Yes, somehow, a rapper and an R&B singer joking a lot about themselves and their sex lives while making turkey bacon and figuring out where to live reminds me of simpler times in reality television. On the show, the two are living in a temporary apartment in Long Island. Ashanti, a New Yorker, wants to live in NYC, but her husband says that before they got married, he told her that he did not want to live in the area full time. Nelly stresses that he is 'too St. Louis' in spirit, business and preferred taxing codes to leave. Moreover, 'Y'all got a lot of rats,' he muses to his wife. That issue will not be settled over the course of eight episodes, but I found myself highly entertained watching them figure their lives out. Ashanti has always shown an affable personality in interviews, but reality TV is a different medium — even with an executive producer title. But the Princess of Hip Hop and R&B is very natural and very much herself on the show, which makes for good television. She is, admittedly, not a punctual person, and that does present its problems. As a new mom, particularly one later in life, as she shares, she loves-loves-loves her baby KK, with the kind of zeal he'll hopefully appreciate when he's old enough to process it himself. (I appreciate that, on his behalf, he is only featured on camera with a blurred face.) As for Nelly, I forgot that he is technically a reality TV pro at this point. His first show, 'Nellyville,' premiered on BET a little more than a decade ago. The two of them together are enjoyable to watch because they come across as two people who understand the mistakes that broke them up years ago and are striving not to repeat them. I don't know if everyone should go back to that old thing, but I hope I can watch more of these two doing it.
