11 Things We've Tried And Loved This Month August '25
The Wallaroo Sausalito (left) and Elise (right) sunhats, which are so cute and comfy you'll actually remember to wear them on your next beach trip or day in the park. The Sausalito is a super sturdy yet lightweight option made with 100% natural raffia, while the Elise is soft, ultra packable, and specifically made for smaller crown sizes. No matter which one you choose, you'll get UPF 50+ sun protection and tons of compliments. A Marlowe bar soap that doubles as an exfoliating body scrub to help speed up your ~everything shower~ routine. It lathers up into a creamy lather like you'd expect from a bar soap, but it's also packed with pumice and apricot seed powder to scrub away dead skin. An absolutely genius pillow speaker so you can fall asleep to the soothing sounds of your favorite true-crime podcast without having to sleep with earbuds in (which hurts if you're a side sleeper, trust me). Pop this under your pillow and you'll only hear it when your ear is pressed up against it, which means your partner won't complain about those super loud ad breaks waking them up. A gift box filled with Feel Good Cookies, which truly live up to their name. From classics like chocolate chip to fruity concoctions like mango coconut, these sweet treats are thick, gooey, and packed with flavor. There are even little inspirational quotes on each sticker, so this is perfect for the pal who needs a little pick-me-up. A set of Brushies — an incredibly clever silicone baby toothbrush that looks like a friendly finger puppet. 😭 ❤️ If your child whips their head away at the mere sight of a toothbrush, this less-intimidating design might just make brushing those chomps less of a chore. It even comes with a book featuring each of the Brushies they can look at while brushing. The two moms who created this truly deserve a Nobel Peace Prize for negotiating peace between babies and toothbrushes. 👶 🤝 🪥 The iSonic D1800 Compact Ultrasonic Cleaner for anyone with retainers that haven't been clear since the first week you wore them — seriously, whyyyy do they get so nasty so quickly?? Just pop it in the tank with water and it'll freshen them up in five minutes. You can also add some cleaning solution if you're trying to bring the bling back to your jewelry or knock out all the grime in your glasses. A way-too-cute pair of kids' sunglasses you should only buy if you're ok with your child looking cooler than you. Each pair is made with UV400 lenses that are meant to block 100% of UVA/UVB rays, and glare-reducing polarized styles are also available. Also, the brand is called Babiators, which is a 10/10 name. Round of applause for all involved. And a set of moisture-wicking LouLou Lollipop pajamas so buttery soft, you'll be wishing they made them in adult sizes. The two-way zipper makes diaper changing a breeze (well, as much of a breeze as diaper changing can be!) and the new styles have fold-over hand and foot covers to keep your little one super snug and cozy. A foundation from No Makeup Makeup that's a minimalist's dream — it does the work of a color corrector, concealer, and foundation at the same time! The sheer, buildable formula comes in 13 shades that are meant to adapt to a wide array of skin tones. Just a few sweeps with your foundation brush is all you need for a diffused look, or build it up with the included sponge on areas you want more coverage. A sleek laptop sleeve — please don't tell me you're throwing your laptop in your messy backpack without protection!! This one is thin enough to not take up too much space in your bag, but still cushy enough to keep your laptop safe thanks to the brushed fleece lining. Oh, and there's even a spacious zipper pocket for all your chargers, AirPods, and other essentials. A pair of splurge-worthy Anea Hill sunnies with a tortoise-shell pattern and sleek design inspired by the Hotel Bel-Air — so it's basically the definition of Cali-chic. The 1946 design is meant to be on the small side, but there are plenty of other styles if you prefer larger sunglasses.

'Yellowstone' actor Neal McDonough says Hollywood turned on him for refusing to kiss costars: 'I lost everything'
The "Suits" alum, who won't lock lips with anyone other than his wife, also recalled being fired from a TV show for refusing to film a sex scene. Neal McDonough says he was shut out of Hollywood for refusing to kiss anyone other than his wife, Ruvé McDonough, for his projects. "I always had in my contracts that I wouldn't kiss another woman on screen," McDonough said on Wednesday's episode of the Nothing Left Unsaid podcast. "My wife didn't have any problem with it. It was me, really, who had a problem. I was like, 'Yeah, I don't want to put you through it. I know we're going to start having kids, and I don't want to put my kids through it.'" But McDonough — a veteran character actor known for his roles in Yellowstone, Band of Brothers, Arrow, Suits, Desperate Housewives, and more — says it wasn't long before he ran into trouble over his 'no kissing' rule. "When I wouldn't do it, and they couldn't understand it, Hollywood just completely turned on me," he said. "They wouldn't let me be part of the show anymore. And for two years, I couldn't get a job, and I lost everything you could possibly imagine. Not just houses and material things, but your swagger, your cool, who you are, your identity, everything." Adding that he was in "a big, ugly tailspin for a couple of years," McDonough said it wasn't just an issue of him struggling to find jobs. He claims that, at one point, he was fired from a TV show after declining to shoot an intimate scene. "They came to my trailer and the wardrobe lady says, 'Excuse me, would you like to be wearing a sock for the scene?'" McDonough recalled. "I remember, I said, 'I'm from Cape Cod and I don't wear socks. I've never worn socks. I'm a loafer and no socks guy.' She's like, 'What?' And she closed the door and she walks away." The actor said a producer arrived a few minutes later to clarify that they needed him to wear a modesty sock for a simulated sex scene. McDonough immediately pushed back, leading to an ultimatum: "They said, 'Well, unless you do it, we're gonna have to replace you,'" he recalled. "I'm like, 'Well, then replace me because I'm not gonna do it.' And they fired me." He continued, "I remember flying home from Albuquerque and flying over the desert in New Mexico and realizing, 'Okay, I just got fired from a TV show. I'd have a better chance of surviving in that desert than surviving when I land in Hollywood.' And I was right." According to McDonough, the fallout included a rough patch in his career in addition to "a very painful, costly ordeal" caused by the show suing him. Still, the actor maintains that he would do it all again. "I knew I did the right thing for my marriage," he said in the interview. "I knew I did the right thing for [God]. And I knew I did the right thing for me." While McDonough did not name the show he was fired from on the podcast, he told Closer Weekly in 2019 that he was dropped from the short-lived ABC series Scoundrels in 2010 for refusing to film intimate scenes, claiming, "Everybody thought I was this religious zealot." He added that getting a call from his Band of Brothers producer Graham Yost about a role in Justified marked his has since had a full circle moment courtesy of his new movie, The Last Rodeo, which McDonough wrote, directed, and stars in. The film, about a former bull rider making a comeback, called for more than one onscreen kiss for his character — so McDonough solved the problem by casting his wife in the movie. "Well, my wife is really hot. She is a good-looking woman, and everything else can pale as compared to my wife, Ruvé," he joked, before explaining, "It was financed. It was ready to go and I said, 'I am not doing the movie unless you play my wife. Because I am not going to kiss some other woman on screen.' And she's like, 'Well, I am not an actor.' I'm like, 'Well, you are now. So let's go.'" Listen to McDonough look back on his career highs and lows in the full podcast episode above. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

'Happy Gilmore 2' shoots up the charts, earns Netflix's biggest opening weekend numbers
Adam Sandler's big swing at Netflix has paid off. "Happy Gilmore 2" snagged 91.9 million minutes watched in its first weekend, per Netflix's internal data. This amounts to 46.7 million views between July 25 and 27, according to the streamer's calculations. This viewership gives Sandler's star-studded sequel bragging rights for having the biggest U.S. opening weekend of all time for a Netflix movie, a spokesperson for the streamer confirmed to USA TODAY on July 30. "Happy Gilmore 2" is currently in the No. 1 position for movies streamed worldwide. Variety was first to report the news. In the sequel, co-written by Sandler, Happy has left golf behind after a tragic accident years ago. When he needs to raise $300,000 to send his daughter, Vienna (Sunny Sandler), to a prestigious ballet school in Paris, Happy hits the links again and runs into old pal Shooter McGavin. Happy also teams up with the who's who of the PGA Tour – including Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and Collin Morikawa – to save traditional golf when an energy drink mogul (Benny Safdie) tries to popularize a more extreme version of the sport. The number of cameos from stars like Bad Bunny (who was billed as Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio and had decent screen time to flex his acting chops), Eminem, Kid Cudi and Travis Kelce even shocked Julie Bowen, who plays Happy's wife, Virginia. "The call sheet was coded. It did not have anybody's names on it and there were 135 different cast members," she told USA TODAY. "I would see Polaroids in the hair and makeup trailer and I saw a person that no one's mentioned yet. And I'm like, 'When was he here?!' (They'd say) 'He's Newscaster No. 4.' And I'm like, 'Are you kidding me?'" Christopher McDonald, who plays Happy's one-time nemesis Shooter, also found himself starstruck. "I have known a few of these golf legends and legends-in-training. But seeing them one-on-one, it's like: 'Oh, my God, that's Rory McIlroy. That's Bryson DeChambeau. That's Scottie Scheffler.' It was mind-blowing for me," he told USA TODAY. "And I came in on my days off just to hang out with them." Contributing: Brian Truitt, USA TODAY
