Calvin Harris and Vick Hope welcome their first child
'20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here!' Harris wrote, expressing admiration for his wife. 'My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah ❤️❤️❤️.'
One of the photos shows Harris cradling baby Micah while sitting outdoors, while another captures the couple's first moments with their son during an at-home water birth.
Speculation about Hope's pregnancy began earlier this year during a BBC Radio 1 interview with actress Florence Pugh, where she appeared in a cream bodycon dress and was seen gently stroking her stomach. Shortly afterward, Hope confirmed the news subtly via Instagram, sharing moments from her career along with images of her growing baby bump. She captioned the post, 'Lots going on lately 📻📺👋🏾.'
Harris and Hope married in September 2023 in a private ceremony held on a sprawling estate in northeast England. They made their first official red carpet appearance as a married couple at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards.
The couple, who had known each other for years before rekindling their relationship, initially sparked engagement rumors in 2022. However, they have kept most of their relationship private. In a 2022 interview with Hello! Magazine, Hope said, 'I'm keeping my private life private… it's just for us.'
Their son Micah marks the beginning of a new chapter for the couple, who have maintained a low-key but loving relationship.

Carrie Underwood goes back to her roots with natural hair after 30 years
Carrie Underwood has shocked fans with a subtle but deeply personal transformation, returning to her natural hair colour after three decades of being a blonde. The country music superstar and American Idol judge debuted a brownish blonde shade on August 4, sharing the look on Instagram with the caption, 'Well, the last time I saw my natural hair color, I was probably about 12 years old, but I thought it might be time to give it a second chance.' She also thanked her Nashville-based colourist, Katelin August, for helping her 'get back to her roots,' adding the hashtag #NewOldMe. The 42-year-old has been known for her golden locks since she shot to fame in 2005 as the winner of American Idol, and her blonde hair has long been a defining feature of her public image. In past interviews, she's expressed hesitation about switching it up, fearing that fans might interpret a darker look as a dramatic change in her personality. 'I don't want people to think I'm turning dark and serious,' she said in a 2012 interview with Refinery29. Despite her reservations, Carrie had always harboured the desire to experiment more with hair colour and styles. Reflecting on her Idol days in a 2013 interview, she recalled having 'a lot of big hair' for the first time, thanks to professional styling. 'I like big hair,' she admitted, 'but I wouldn't go back there again.' Motherhood also played a role in her approach to beauty. After becoming a mum to sons Isaiah and Jacob, she traded hair extensions for a more manageable cut, explaining that time was better spent with her kids than under a blow dryer. The new hair reveals a softer, more grounded side of Underwood, one that embraces change without needing to make a spectacle of it.

Influencer breaks spine attempting viral ‘stiletto challenge' inspired by Nicki Minaj music video
Russian influencer Mariana Barutkina has sustained a serious spinal injury after attempting the viral 'stiletto challenge', a trend inspired by Nicki Minaj's pose in the High School music video. The 32-year-old, just eight weeks postpartum, attempted the challenge at home, balancing in stilettos on a jar of baby food placed on a saucepan atop a kitchen counter. The original pose features Minaj crouching next to a swimming pool with one leg crossed over the other while wearing stilettos. The difficult balancing act has inspired many to attempt recreations online. Footage of the fall quickly went viral, showing the influencer lose her balance and fall backwards off the counter. She was later diagnosed with a compression flexion fracture in her spine. 'I decided to start a blog, my first content shoot — and here I am leaving the doctor's with a diagnosis,' she wrote on Instagram. 'Irony? Karma? Or just life, which always tests our strength at the most unexpected moment.' The incident has sparked criticism online, with users questioning her judgement. Others expressed concern for her child, prompting Barutkina to clarify: 'Whoever worries about my child should also be calm, he has two nannies and while I was filming one of them was with him.' Some supporters wished her well, while others suggested her fall marked the end of the trend.

Police raid Neon's livestream with Iggy Azalea after swatting and illegal gambling allegations
A livestream hosted by controversial internet personality Rangesh 'N3on' Mutama, better known as Neon, was abruptly interrupted on August 4, 2025, after a reported swatting incident led police to raid the show mid-broadcast. Australian rapper Iggy Azalea was a guest on the stream, which aired on Kick. Clips circulating online show uniformed officers entering the set as the broadcast continued live. Several individuals were reportedly detained at the scene amid accusations of illegal gambling activities occurring during the show. However, whether these allegations are valid or part of the swatting hoax remains unclear. Multiple people were arrested on Neon's stream with Iggy Azalea after they were swatted over suspected illegal gambling 👀 — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) August 4, 2025 Swatting is the act of falsely reporting an emergency to provoke an armed police response — a serious federal crime that has affected numerous streamers. In this case, the tip-off allegedly included claims of unlicensed gambling taking place live. While Neon has a history of online controversy — including a prior swatting incident in 2024 and an arrest in Dubai — this latest disruption highlights rising tensions between livestreaming and public safety. Among the guests on the stream was Iggy Azalea, who has recently ventured into livestreaming and cryptocurrency-related content. Although she appeared on camera during the police entry, there is no suggestion that Azalea was involved in or aware of any wrongdoing. The earliest report of the incident surfaced via a post from user FearedBuck, who wrote, 'Several were detained during Neon's stream with Iggy Azalea after they were swatted due to suspected illegal gambling.' That quote has since spread widely across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, often without attribution or verification. As the footage continues to trend, law enforcement has not released an official statement. Until more reliable reporting emerges, speculation around arrests or confirmed gambling activity remains unverified.
