The first trailer for the Bruce Springsteen biopic with Jeremy Allen White just dropped and I couldn't be more excited
As someone born and raised in New Jersey (and who's been to his share of Springsteen concerts), the trailer has me more excited than Courtney Cox at a concert for the movie's official release this October.
Instead of looking over his entire career, a la "Ray" or "Walk the Line," "Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere" captures a specific point in time: when Bruce was recording his 1982 album "Nebraska."
During that era, he was already fairly popular — he had already recorded five albums, including "Born to Run" and "The River" — but had yet to reach the levels of superstardom with "Born in the U.S.A.," which didn't come out until 1984.
In the trailer, we see Jeremy Allen White as the adult Springsteen, finally with some success, sitting behind the wheel of a new Camaro — complete with a 305 V8 engine, a nod to Springsteen's many car references in his songs.
The trailer also shows a few flashbacks in black and white of the artist as a boy and the difficulties he faced growing up. It then cuts to his recording of the album solo in his home.
At the end of the trailer, we get a taste of White's crooning abilities as he sings "Born to Run" with the rest of the E Street Band. And, I have to say, from that brief clip, he does more than a passable job at imitating the Boss's voice.

"Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere" is directed by Scott Cooper ("Black Mass," "Hostiles") and also stars Marc Maron, Gaby Hoffman, Jeremy Strong, and David Krumholtz. It will be released exclusively in theaters on October 24.

Giving your kids a '90s-style summer is all the rage. Is it even possible to pull off now?
Are screen-free, unstructured summers too good to be true? In a now-viral Instagram post from last year, Nebraska mom Markay Cunningham narrates a typical summer day for kids in the '90s: Food was a box of ice pops plopped on the ground, water came from the hose around the corner, and the rule was to stay outside unless you're hurt or it's storming. In the clip, Belinda Carlisle's 'Heaven Is a Place on Earth' plays in the background. It's a snapshot of the quintessential summer vacation of yore: unstructured time, low supervision and not a screen in sight. No wonder everyone's reminiscing about '90s summers and trying to re-create the magic for their own kids. The question is, Is it really what today's parents want? 'It's kind of making me feel like shit,' Big Little Feelings co-founder (and Yahoo parenting ambassador) Kristin Gallant recently said on Instagram. 'I think it's a great concept if it works for your family. The problem is, for a lot of us it just doesn't.' For starters, Gallant pointed out, many working parents rely on the structure and supervision that summer camp provides. Single-income families are much less common today compared with decades past, and with both parents at work, the freedom to roam all day isn't really an option. Parents of neurodivergent and highly sensitive children may also take issue with the trend, Gallant added. Routines mean predictability, which can lessen anxiety and improve focus. A large swath of unstructured time could bring about feelings of dysregulation instead of relaxation in these kids. Other modern-day concerns make a '90s summer seem more like a hazy daydream than a real-life approach to the season. Here's what parents told us they're up against. The screen struggle Author Kelly Oxford recently took to her Substack to eulogize the '90s, lamenting that with the birth of screens came the death of patience and boredom — two necessities to any kid's summer vacation. But screen time has become so baked into our lives that opting out is almost unheard of, says Shayl Griffith, PhD, an assistant professor in the Department of Counseling, Recreation and School Psychology at Florida International University (FIU) and researcher at FIU's Center for Children and Families. 'Because devices and content are more easily accessible and varied, having a 'low-tech' summer would be very difficult for most families without deliberate planning and structure,' Griffith tells Yahoo. ''Low-tech' and 'unstructured' for most families is not going to go hand in hand in this digital landscape.' In other words, kids without a schedule are bound to wind up scrolling through YouTube all day instead of running through the sprinkler with pals from the neighborhood. Being intentional is the antidote, Griffith says. Whatever that looks like is up to each family. She recommends parents talk with their children about what their ideal summer includes — time outdoors, playing with friends, pursuing a hobby, etc. — and let those pursuits lead the way. 'A screen time routine for the summer should then be built to fit around these other important and valued activities and goals,' she says. Fostering independence — to a degree Oxford tells Yahoo Life that '90s kid summers don't work today because the world is different. 'You can't put your kid outside until the streetlights come on when Karen next door will call Child Services,' she says. 'You can't let them walk to the corner store when every parent is tracking their location with an app.' Even when phone-free time is intentional, it can still be nerve-racking. Elizabeth Cuneo, an operations manager from Denver, says she's happy that her 15-year-old daughter and their friends sometimes pile their phones together when they hang out. But it's also stressful because it means 'none of the parents can reach the kids,' she says. She looks for the middle ground wherever possible. For example, her daughter is allowed to take the bus by herself but only to certain agreed-upon places. Her 13-year-old son also knows how far he is allowed to venture off solo. 'We're trying to be more OK with them going within a boundary,' Cuneo says. 'I'm trying to give them freedom within that box, and part of what makes that possible is [knowing] people in my neighborhood. It helps me feel safe.' Neighborhood watch Indeed, many say the opportunity to lean on other parents is essential to the success of a '90s kid summer. Jessica Penzari, a publicist from New York City, says that during the school year in the Big Apple, she is watching her 7-year-old son 'like a hawk.' But when the family treks down to Virginia each summer, all the local moms chip in. 'Parents watch out for each other,' Penzari says. 'It's more insulated and slower-paced, so I feel a lot more comfortable letting him walk to a friend's house up the street.' But just as other parents can be vital to a child's burgeoning independence, they can also interfere with it. Peter Lo, a communications technology professional from the Bay Area, says it can be awkward seeing other parents hovering over his kids, ages 4 and 7, as they play. 'I sometimes think they're judging us,' he says. 'But [kids] need some controlled failure and some degree of risk.' Penzari agrees, adding that her son needs to develop his own sense of self without mom helicoptering above. 'It's really hard for kids to foster their own sense of self when you're with them,' she says. What comes next? One potential caveat of the '90s kid summer: the return to real life in the fall. The start of the school year — with its packed schedules and endless to-do lists — can be dizzying for a child who has spent all summer living a more analog life. Griffith encourages consistency wherever possible to smooth the transition back to school. 'When routines are changed during the summer, it can be difficult to change them back at the start of the school year,' she says. So maybe a screen-free, low-supervised summer just isn't realistic right now. Or maybe some parts of it are. The most important thing, Griffith adds, is to create a setup that works for your family. "There is no one right way to 'do' summer,' she says. Solve the daily Crossword

Olivia Dunne makes eye-popping comment after fan's Madelyn Cline post
Former LSU Tigers gymnast Olivia Dunne made an eyebrow-raising comment on social media after one fan made an eye-popping description of the Men's College World Series. The Tigers were taking on the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers for the national championship. The Barstool Sports Coastal Carolina affiliate wrote on X, "this college world series is literally the Madelyn Cline vs Livvy Dunne bowl." "Gooner World Series," Dunne wrote in response. The term "gooner" refers to a person who makes pornography a top priority in their life and could also refer to a fan of the English Premier League club Arsenal, according to Urban Dictionary. Cline, an actress who has appeared in "Glass Onion" and "Outer Banks," attended Coastal Carolina University briefly. It's unclear whether she will show up to Omaha, Nebraska, to cheer on the Chanticleers. Dunne has already been spotted at the College World Series. She was seen wearing a Paul Skenes jersey that had the Tigers' logo on the front and Pittsburgh Pirates colors on the back. The Pirates selected Skenes with the No. 1 overall pick out of LSU in the 2023 draft. Skenes helped the Tigers to a College World Series title. He made his major league debut last year and was named the National League Rookie of the Year. He and Dunne are dating. Dunne also ended her collegiate career with a national championship on her resume. She has since been seen walking the runway for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit.

‘It feels like I've won the Medal of Freedom': Molly Gordon loves being part of the Emmy-nominated ‘The Bear'
Even if Molly Gordon wasn't a recurring star on The Bear, she'd be rooting for the much-lauded FX series to win all of the 13 Emmys it's up for this year. "It was my favorite show before I was on it," the actress tells Gold Derby while promoting the release of her upcoming film, Oh, Hi! Her cinematic partners — costar Logan Lerman and director Sophie Brooks — are in full agreement. Speaking with us ahead of the movie's July 25 theatrical release, all three offer a hearty "Yes, chef!" when asked if they're excited for The Bear's third bite at the Emmy apple. (For the record, we spoke with them before Emmy nominations were officially unveiled, but our odds were clearly in the show's favor.) More from Gold Derby Anne Hathaway reveals first-look photo from 'The Devil Wears Prada 2': Everything to know about anticipated sequel Marvel's big reset: Mahershala Ali's 'Blade,' recasting 'X-Men' and Tony Stark, and why Miles Morales is MIA in the MCU "Awards are so exciting and are such a great way to celebrate everyone's hard work, and the crew that's worked so hard," says Gordon, who joined the cast in Season 2 as Claire Dunlap, aka "Claire Bear" — the girl that Jeremy Allen White's Carmy fell for in his childhood and again in his adulthood. "But this show specifically is such a rare experience where the cast, crew and city has been the loveliest experience ever that no award or nomination will ever [equal]," adds Gordon, who hasn't yet been nominated for her role. "It feels like I've won the Medal of Freedom getting to be a part of that show." The Bear doesn't have a Medal of Freedom in its trophy cabinet — and even if it did, it would probably get lost amidst all the Emmys. The show's first season cleaned up at the 2023 awards, taking home a record 10 statuettes for a comedy series, including Best Actor for White, Best Supporting Actor for Ebon-Moss Bacharach, Best Supporting Actress for Ayo Edebiri and Best Comedy Series. The Bear topped its own record the following year with 11 wins, although it saw the "best in show" prize go to Hacks. The Bear is back in contention for Best Comedy Series at this year's Emmys, although this time around it faces competition from both Hacks and the breakout Apple TV+ hit, The Studio. Still Brooks isn't about to bet against her friend's series. "That show kind of seems to sweep all the time, so I think they're in a good spot," the filmmaker notes. In a potential boon for The Bear's chances, Season 4 is currently airing at the same time that Emmy voters are weighing whether or not to cast their ballots for Season 3. But some people are waiting to go into binge mode on the fresh batch of episodes, including Lerman. "I haven't seen the new season yet," the actor confesses. But don't take that as a sign that he's giving up his seat at the show's table. "It's such a good show," Lerman emphasizes. "They don't need any help getting on peoples' radars; they've already earned their status, and I'm sure they'll get the recognition they deserve."
