Julia Roberts Debuts Blonde Lob in ‘After the Hunt' Trailer
The lob in question (that's a 'long bob,' FYI) is the in-between haircut that's been reigning supreme in salons for the past few years. Falling just below the shoulders, it's the Goldilocks of hairstyles—short enough to easily maintain and style, but long enough to still play around with waves, curls, or an updo.
Julia's version is styled in stretched curls, softly layered, and tinged with a buttery blonde hue that not only warms up her complexion but also makes for a surprising transformation. See the star's hairstyle—that's worlds apart from her signature style, may I add—in the trailer below.
The dramatic hair switch-up comes to us via her upcoming role in After the Hunt, a psychological thriller slated to hit screens later this year. So, while we're used to seeing Julia's iconic red hair blowing in the wind (Pretty Woman, anyone?), this sleek, polished lob signals a bold new character.
From rom-com royalty to thriller queen, with every hairstyle, Julia's proving that she can do it all. But we already knew that anyway, right?

Ozzy Osbourne health issues: The heavy metal icon battled Parkinson's disease, addiction
Ozzy Osbourne may have been a fierce rock 'n' roller, but he was far from invincible. The Grammy-winning singer and Black Sabbath frontman died on Tuesday, July 22, at the age of 76, according to a family statement shared with USA TODAY. Osbourne's death came just weeks after he reunited with Black Sabbath for the heavy metal band's final show in Birmingham, England. Taking the stage at Villa Park in front of 40,000 fans, the July 5 concert was a reprieve from the English singer's harrowing battle with Parkinson's disease, which had rendered him unable to stand or walk without assistance. But for nine songs that included Black Sabbath classics "Paranoid" and "Iron Man," as well as Osbourne standards "Mr. Crowley" and "Crazy Train," the guitars cranked, and the Prince of Darkness reveled in his return to the spotlight. Aside from his struggles with Parkinson's disease, Osbourne also dealt with substance abuse. The outlandish rocker, who later embarked on a solo career, was booted from Black Sabbath in 1979 due to his rampant drug and alcohol addiction. Ozzy Osbourne on 'self-medicating' with yearslong substance abuse Osbourne's battles with addiction have led to infamous moments in music history. He bit the head off a dove during a 1981 meeting with record executives in Los Angeles and the following year chomped the head off a live bat during a show in Des Moines, Iowa. The singer got candid on his tumultuous relationship with addiction in a February 2021 interview with Variety. "I've always been self-medicating because I've never liked the way I felt," Osbourne told the outlet. "I've had great success in my life, but I've never felt great about myself. And so, from a very early age, I used to sniff fumes, all kinds of things, anything to get me out of my head." Osbourne later got serious about his sobriety around 2014 after numerous attempts at recovery dating back to 1984. "I thought I'd be drinking to the day I die," he reflected. "Most of the people that I drank with are dead. And the ones that aren't, that still continue to drink, are going to be dead soon," Osbourne added. "It's not a happy ending. If you want to carry on drinking, my hat goes off to you." Ozzy Osbourne undergoes neck surgery after 2019 fall In April 2019, a representative for Osbourne revealed on social media that he was postponing all tour dates on his farewell No More Tours II concert tour after the singer sustained injuries during a fall at his Los Angeles home. In a January 2020 interview with "Good Morning America," Osbourne detailed the "terribly challenging" year he went through due to his extensive recovery. "I had to have surgery on my neck, which screwed all my nerves in," Osbourne said at the time. "I've got numbness down this arm from the surgery. My legs feel going cold. I don't know if that's Parkinson's or what. … It's a weird feeling." Ozzy Osbourne breaks silence on Parkinson's disease diagnosis In a revealing sit-down interview with "Good Morning America" in January 2020, Osbourne, alongside wife Sharon Osbourne, shared that he'd been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. Parkinson's is a degenerative syndrome that results in the slow loss of brain circuitry involved in movement, thinking, and behavior. It can cause tremors, stiffness, slowness, and falls, in addition to anxiety, depression, and sleep dysfunction. Though fans knew the singer had suffered from tremors, Osbourne said he didn't find out about his diagnosis until 2019. "I'm not good at secrets. I cannot walk around with it anymore," Osbourne said on the ABC talk show. "I feel better now of owning up to the fact that I have a case of Parkinson's." A month after his "GMA" interview, Osbourne canceled the North American leg of his No More Tours II tour to focus on his recovery, as the singer prepared to travel to Switzerland for treatment. Ozzy Osbourne reveals emphysema battle amid 'worst year of my life' In a November 2020 interview with GQ, Osbourne revealed he had emphysema, a chronic lung condition — often attributed to smoking — that causes shortness of breath, according to Mayo Clinic. "This year has been the worst year of my life!" said Osbourne, who'd revealed his Parkinson's disease diagnosis in January. The singer also voiced his health concerns amid the COVID-19 pandemic: "I've got emphysema, so if I get this virus, I'm f-----."

Benedict Cumberbatch Ate Five Meals a Day to Play Doctor Strange, Says Hollywood Is ‘Grossly Wasteful': ‘It's Horrific Eating Beyond Your Appetite… I Could Feed a Family With the Amount' I Ate
Benedict Cumberbatch called Hollywood a 'grossly wasteful industry' during an interview on 'Ruthie's Table 4' podcast. The Oscar nominee is no stranger to massive studio productions given his role as Doctor Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While Cumberbatch loves undergoing a 'body transformation' for his work, he also says 'it's horrific eating beyond your appetite.' 'Going back to responsibility and resourcefulness and sustainability, it's just like, what am I doing? I could feed a family with the amount I'm eating,' Cumberbatch said, noting he would eat five meals a day while getting into Doctor Strange shape in addition to snacks like boiled eggs, almonds and cheese in between meals. More from Variety 'The Roses' Trailer: Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman's Marriage Goes to Hell in New Take on 'The War of the Roses' 'The Roses' Starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman Sets August Release From Searchlight Inside 'You Me Bum Bum Train,' London's Hottest Ticket That Swears Its 'Passengers' - Including Leonardo DiCaprio, Madonna and Benedict Cumberbatch - to Total Secrecy 'It's a grossly wasteful industry,' he continued. 'Think about set builds that aren't recycled, think about transport, think about food, think about housing, but also light and energy. The amount of wattage you need to create daylight and consistent light in a studio environment. It's a lot of energy.' Cumberbatch admitted that actors are routinely slammed and branded as hypocrites when they speak out in support of sustainability in Hollywood given how wasteful the industry is, but the actor noted that he tries to 'push the green initiative' on his film sets as both an actor and a producer. 'You don't have to give the crew plastic bottles,' he said as an example. If you're in the middle of a desert and you can't get glass bottles there, fair enough. But we're in 21st Century.' Cumberbatch is on a press tour for his upcoming movie 'The Roses,' a reimagining of the 1981 novel 'The War of the Roses' by Warren Adler. The book previously spawned a 1989 film adaptation of the same name starring Michael Douglas Kathleen Turner Danny DeVito G. D. Spradlin. Cumberbatch's new version co-stars Olivia Colman. The duo play a married couple who self-destruct during a bitter divorce. 'The Roses' opens August 29 from Searchlight Pictures.

‘Materialists' Comes to Digital, But When Will Dakota Johnson's ‘Materialists' Movie Be Streaming on HBO Max?
Celine Song's Materialists movie is coming to digital platforms tomorrow, which means you'll soon be able to watch one of the most divisive movies of 2025 from the comfort of your own home. Starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, Materialists tells the story of a professional matchmaker (Johnson) who finds herself torn between a perfect, dreamy newcomer (Pascal) and her annoying-but-beautiful ex-boyfriend (Evans). Though the film was advertised as a light-hearted, romantic comedy follow up to Song's 2023 heartbreaking, Oscar-nominated romance, Past Lives, many were disappointed by the lack of comedy in the film. But others found it to be a touching, grounded romance all the same. This is definitely one of those movies that you'll want to watch for yourself and form your own opinion on. Read on to find out where to watch Dakota Johnson's Materialists movie online, and when we expect to be able to watch Materialists streaming on HBO Max. Where to watch the Dakota Johnson Materialists movie on streaming: Beginning on Tuesday, July 22 at 12 a.m. Eastern Time (which is also 9 p.m. Pacific Time on Monday, July 21) you will be able to buy a digital copy of Materialists on platforms like Amazon Prime, Fandango At Home, Apple TV, and more. The price may vary depending on which platform you use to buy the film, but on Amazon, the film cost $24.99 to pre-order a digital copy. Materialists will not yet be available to rent online. Materialists is not currently available to stream on any subscription-based services, but the film will eventually be coming to streaming, on HBO Max, thanks to the 2023 deal between A24 and Warner Bros. Discovery, which brings A24's previous and upcoming theatrical releases to the streaming service HBO Max. If you're new to HBO Max, you can sign up for as low as $9.99/month with ads, but an ad-free subscription will cost $16.99/month. HBO MAX DISNEY+ BUNDLES If you want to stream even more and save a few bucks a month while you're at it, we recommend subscribing to one of the discounted Disney+ Bundles with Hulu and HBO Max. With ads, the bundle costs $16.99/month and without ads, $29.99/month. When will the Materialists movie be streaming on HBO Max? The Materialists movie streaming release date on HBO Max has not yet been announced, but we can make an educated guess as to when you can expect to see Materialists on HBO Max. The A24 deal is a 'Pay-1 deal,' which means A24 movies will start streaming on HBO Max in the 'Pay 1 window,' meaning that HBO Max will be the first 'TV channel' to pay for the rights to Friendship, after the film has been released on digital and home media. One recent A24 title, Opus, began streaming on Max on July 11, about four months after its release in theaters, and about three months after its release on digital. If Materialists follows a similar release strategy, you might see Materialists streaming on Max in about four months, around mid-October 2025. This is all speculation. The A24 digital and streaming releases have varied by title. If you want to watch Materialists right away, you can buy a digital copy starting tomorrow.
