Paulina Porizkova Dropped a Refreshingly Relatable Bikini Pic
In a July 28 Instagram post, Paulina included two unretouched photos that showcased how different settings can impact her appearance online and in real life. 'This is me. Vacation, pretty light, posing for a shot,' she wrote along with the first photo, where she's smiling in a white-and-metallic-gold string bikini.
Then she shared a makeup-free mirror selfie, taken with overhead bathroom lighting. 'This is also me. Home, not great light, not posing,' she added. 'This is 60.'
She went on to write, 'This is 60 years of sometimes healthy eating, sometimes not. 60 years of sometimes working out, sometimes not. 60 years of doing the right things followed by doing the wrong things and over again and again.'
The 26-time Cosmopolitan cover girl added, 'It's 60 years of learning of what works and what doesn't. And just as I think I've figured it out, everything changes and I have to start again. The beauty of 60 is that now I understand the importance is IN the lesson, not passing the exam.'
Following her social post, Paulina included a slew of hashtags, including #betweenjloandbettywhite, #thisis60, #bikini, #nomakeup, #nofilter, and #keepinitreal. So true, queen.
Naturally, her vulnerable revelation received love in her comments section. Some commended her for sharing her thoughts, with one fan writing, 'Words can't express how thankful I am for women like you, Paulina. Keeping it real. You are beautiful inside and out. Age is just a number. I wish more women felt beautiful in their own skin. ❤️❤️'
Fellow supermodel Linda Evangelista threw in a praising hands emoji while Charmed star Alyssa Milano added, 'The most beautiful at any age and in any light.'
This isn't the first time Paulina has used her platform to spread a positive message around aging. During a January appearance on The Today Show, Paulina said, 'We're so terrified of wrinkles because I suppose wrinkles make us no longer relevant, no longer sexy, no longer desirable, and as women, that has been sort of our calling card. It's tagged with us for such a long time.'
She continued, 'And I keep looking at wrinkles, mine, yours, any woman that I see, and I think, 'It's your map of life.' I see how you are as a person. Why would you want to erase it?'

Kelly Osbourne says she 'will not be OK for a while' after dad Ozzy Osbourne's death
Kelly Osbourne is opening up about grief almost two weeks after the loss of her father, Ozzy Osbourne. The singer, 40, took to Instagram on Monday, Aug. 4, to thank fans for their sympathy in the wake of the Black Sabbath icon's death. "The love, support, and beautiful messages I've received from so many of you have truly helped carry me through the hardest moment of my life," she wrote in an Instagram story. "Every kind word, every shared memory, every bit of compassion has meant more than I can ever explain." Osbourne continued: "Grief is a strange thing — it sneaks up on you in waves — I will not be OK for a while — but knowing my family are not alone in our pain makes a difference. I'm holding on tight to the love, the light, and the legacy left behind." After signing her name, the former "Fashion Police" host added a broken heart emoji and the hashtags "#BirminghamForever" and "#OzzyForever." To accompany the message, she included a clip from her father's song "See You on the Other Side." Kelly Osbourne mourns dad Ozzy's death with sentimental post Ozzy Osbourne died at age 76 on July 22, just weeks after he performed for the last time with Black Sabbath in Birmingham, England. Kelly Osbourne, whose mother is Sharon Osbourne, attended her dad's farewell concert — and even got engaged there. On July 6, she posted a clip showing her partner, Sid Wilson, getting down on one knee and popping the question in front of her parents backstage at the show. Ozzy Osbourne guitarist reveals touching final text from singer After the July 6 concert, Kelly Osbourne thanked "everyone who came to support my dad" and noted that he was "able to say thank you and good bye in the most beautiful way."

Hundreds of the rock star's fans came out to pay their respects during his funeral procession in Birmingham on July 30.

Oasis says they're ‘shocked and saddened' after fan falls to his death at Wembley show
A man fell to his death at the Oasis concert on Saturday at Wembley Stadium, British Metropolitan Police have confirmed. In a statement given to the BBC, officials said they responded to a report that a man in his 40s had been injured at the show around 10:19 p.m. BST. After discovering 'injuries consistent with a fall,' the man was pronounced dead at the scene. 'The stadium was busy, and we believe it is likely a number of people witnessed the incident, or may knowingly or unknowingly have caught it on mobile phone video footage,' officials said. They then called for any information regarding the incident to be reported. It is believed the man fell from the stadium's upper tier. No additional details were added concerning the cause of the fall, though some attendees who witnessed the incident suggested that the man may have slipped. 'So much beer was being thrown throughout the whole concert,' one woman told the Guardian. 'I was surprised they allowed people to bring drinks into the stands. It made the floor really slippy.' Another fan, John, says he saw many fans leaning against the balcony from block 511, where witnesses claim the fall took place. 'There were loads of people who just kept going down to the front and leaning right over. One guy was stopped, but after that, no security came down,' he said. 'There's a rail and a small guard, but it did make me think someone could quite easily get knocked off there.' He was also critical of alcohol consumption at the show, adding that he 'constantly saw people with cardboard cup holders full of pints.' The Times reported on Friday that Oasis fans had drank 250,000 pints of beer during one show at Wembley, breaking a stadium record. Last year's Coldplay gigs saw 120,000 pints sold, and 40,000 for Taylor Swift. Representatives of Wembley Stadium told the BBC that paramedics attempted to revive the man on the scene, but to no avail. 'Despite their efforts, the fan very sadly died.' they said. Oasis addressed the tragedy, telling NME they were 'shocked and saddened' to hear the news. 'Oasis would like to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the person involved,' they added. The concert was the fourth show in Oasis' quartet of sold-out appearances at Wembley; they'll close out the historical run on Monday. The North American leg of their tour will kick off on Aug. 24 in Toronto and make its way to Los Angeles for two nights at the Rose Bowl on Sept. 6 and 7. The Gallagher brothers shocked the world when they reunited after 15 years, following a widely publicized and bitter fallout in 2009. The reunion rollout began with a teaser video posted on Aug. 25, 2024, on the band's Instagram account. It contained a date and time: '08.27.24, 8 a.m.' It would end up being the official announcement of their 2025 tour. 'This is it,' the band wrote. 'This is happening.'

Second-line clubs could face higher expenses with NOPD policy change
The second-line community plans a protest on the steps of Gallier Hall Tuesday after, its leaders say, the New Orleans Police Department proposed new regulations that would make hosting its parades more expensive. Why it matters: The disagreement presses on the bruise of what's long been described by some New Orleans' social aid and pleasure club members as a discrepancy between how they and the city's Mardi Gras krewes are treated. Driving the news: At a recent meeting between NOPD and social aid and pleasure club leaders, NOPD proposed new regulations to require increased insurance for trolleys and floats, Askia Bennett of the Ole and Nu Style Fellas tells Axios New Orleans. Those requirements, Bennett says, would increase club expenses. Plus, he says, the suddenness with which they were shared, just a few weeks before the start of the 2025-2026 second-line season, means some clubs may not have time to comply. "You just threw beaucoup water on us," he says. "At least let me put my raincoat on." What they're saying: "If you make [second-lines] more expensive, then it's more we're not going to be able to do," Bennett said. "Don't do that to the people who make New Orleans, New Orleans." "Don't do that to the culture." The latest: Second-line leaders plan a protest at 3pm Tuesday at Gallier Hall, social media posts say. "Together, we will stand against the restrictions that threaten to stifle our beloved traditions," says a post on the Six Ward Steppers' Instagram. City Council in a statement called NOPD's proposed changes "unilaterally chosen" and "sudden," and is calling on representatives from NOPD and the second-line clubs to speak about the issue during its Thursday meeting. Between the lines: Bennett says he believes the new insurance requirements were prompted by a party trolley crash that injured more than 20 people this summer. Worth noting: NOPD did not reply to Axios New Orleans' request for comment by press time. In its own statement, the Office of Cultural Economy under Mayor LaToya Cantrell called the clubs' traditions "essential to our economic, spiritual, and communal well-being."
