The Summer I Turned Pretty Season 3 Review: Growing up, going in circles again
Story: Two years later, Belly is in college and engaged to Jeremiah, while Conrad, her first love, remains distant in med school. As old emotions resurface, the love triangle rekindles one last time, forcing Belly to decide what—and who—she truly wants. Review: The third season of 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' picks up two years later and brings with it a quieter, more mature tone. Belly (Lola Tung) is now in college, navigating academic pressures and slowly inching her way into adulthood. She's in a steady relationship with Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), while Conrad (Christopher Briney) is away in med school, largely keeping to himself. On the surface, the characters seem older, but emotionally, not much has changed. The series continues to rely on the love triangle that has anchored it since the beginning. It's less about who Belly will choose and more about how long the question can linger. This season leans into emotional weight, attempting to show characters coming to terms with the grief of Susannah's (Rachel Blanchard) loss while also grappling with the growing pains of early adulthood. Belly, no longer the impulsive girl from earlier summers, is now quieter, more reflective. Some moments—like a flashback that shakes her—stand out for their emotional clarity. Lola Tung matches the tone with a subdued, internalized performance that carries the weight of someone learning to process rather than react. The writing, though occasionally insightful, often retreats into the familiar territory of unresolved feelings and romantic conflict. Things start to shift when Jeremiah proposes in the second episode of the season. While the moment should have landed with more impact, it feels hurried—more of a narrative beat than a truly earned emotional turning point. Belly says yes, but the decision sparks a return to old patterns, especially with Conrad's re-entry. The show dives back into stolen glances, awkward confrontations, and quiet heartbreaks. Jeremiah's arc, despite Gavin Casalegno's presence, feels thinner this time—limited mostly to insecurity and reaction. In contrast, Conrad's storyline is more emotionally layered. His therapy sessions, quiet struggles, and visible restraint bring much-needed depth and mark a subtle evolution from where he began. Based on the three episodes streamed so far, the series shifts away from the breezy aesthetic of Cousins Beach and now unfolds across college dorms, hospital corridors, and therapy rooms. While the sunlit charm is missed, the new backdrops complement the show's attempt to grow up. The soundtrack continues to do heavy lifting—featuring tracks from Taylor Swift, The Cranberries, and Radiohead. At times, the music overshadows the scene, but it usually adds the emotional dimension that the script sometimes lacks. A welcome addition is Zoé de Grand'Maison as Agnes, a calming presence from Conrad's present life who shifts the dynamic in small but meaningful ways. Ultimately, Season 3 attempts to strike a balance between closure and comfort. It gives its characters a sense of direction and growth, yet it remains shackled to the same emotional loop that defined the earlier seasons. There are a few touching moments—especially those involving siblings and parents—but the central love triangle, once full of possibility, now feels like it's simply going in circles. While longtime fans of Jenny Han's books may find satisfaction in how things unfold, others might feel like they're watching the same summer story dressed in fall clothes.

Iconic '90s Band Shares Never-Before-Seen Footage of Late Lead Singer and Everyone's in Tears
Iconic '90s Band Shares Never-Before-Seen Footage of Late Lead Singer and Everyone's in Tears originally appeared on Parade. Although it has been over five years since Dolores O'Riordan passed away, the impact that The Cranberries' lead singer had on music is still felt today. As the principal songwriter for the beloved '90s alternative rock band, O'Riordan delivered her passionate lyrics with one of the most recognizable voices of the decade. Ahead of the band celebrating a major milestone, fans are revisiting just how powerful a voice she was. The surviving members of The Cranberries will soon release a 30th anniversary edition of their landmark second album, No Need To Argue, on Aug. 15. In the lead-up to its release, the band has shared some never-before-seen, behind-the-scenes footage from that time, including rare footage of the "Zombie" video shoot in 1994. In the TikTok posted on July 22, the band—O'Riordan, guitarist Noel Hogan, bassist Mike Hogan and drummer Fergal Lawler—perform "Zombie" in the ruins of a building as Dolores delivers the now-iconic chorus. Although the song is three decades old, it can still move the hearts of listeners. "I still remember the first time I heard this song as a teen. I was floored by Dolores's power and emotion. She was so inspiring," commented one fan on TikTok. "I miss her unique voice," said another. The following day, The Cranberries posted a clip showing different angles to the "Ode to My Family" video, footage they said contained "unseen moments until now." The tender track opens with "No Need To Argue," and TikTok explained that O'Riordan wrote it to remind people that "rockstars are human people who love their parents." "[This song] always makes me cry," wrote one fan. "Thank you for the soundtrack of my youth," commented another. Many said that they still miss O'Riordan, who in 2018 at age 46, died due to accidental drowning. Fans can purchase the 30th anniversary edition of No Need To Argue in three formats: a three-LP edition, a 2-LP/2-CD edition, or a single album/CD version. The special 3-LP edition will contain a previously unreleased demo of "Zombie," live recordings from the band's set at Woodstock '94, and their 1995 episode of MTV '90s Band Shares Never-Before-Seen Footage of Late Lead Singer and Everyone's in Tears first appeared on Parade on Jul 24, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 24, 2025, where it first appeared.

South Africa coach stopped Wiaan Mulder from scoring 400 and breaking Brian Lara's world record: ‘Let the legends…'
South Africa head coach Shukri Conrad told Wiaan Mulder not to go after Brian Lara's world record 400, as revealed by the South African captain for the Zimbabwe series. Mulder, who sent cricket statisticians into overdrive with his record-breaking knock in the second Test against Zimbabwe, sacrificed a realistic chance at breaking one of cricket's most hallowed records by declaring his innings. Wiaan Mulder and Shukri Conrad South Africa's first-time captain was just 33 runs short of breaking Brian Lara's iconic 400 not out, set 21 years ago, before selflessly declaring with the team on 626 for 5. He then made an immediate impact with the ball, taking two wickets in back-to-back overs and adding a sharp catch to help bowl out Zimbabwe for 170. South Africa enforced the follow-on and had Zimbabwe struggling at 51 for 1 by stumps. Already 1-0 up in the brief series, the reigning World Test Championship winners held a commanding 405-run lead and looked poised to seal another three-day victory by Tuesday. After the day's play, while talking to broadcaster SuperSuport, Mulder said he spoke to head coach Shukri Conrad at the Lunch break on Day 2. He told Mulder to let the legends keep their records. 'I was speaking to Shuks (Proteas coach Shukri Conrad) and he kind of said to me as well, 'Let the legends keep the really big scores.' You never know what my fate is or what is destined for me. But Brian Lara keeping that record is exactly the way it should be.' The all-rounder said South Africa already had enough runs on the board, and he did not feel the need to surpass Lara's record. 'First, I thought we have enough and we need to bowl,' said. 'Secondly, Brian Lara is a legend, he got 400 against England and for someone of that stature to keep that record is pretty special. If I get the chance again I'd probably do the same thing.' Lara, the former West Indies skipper, is one of cricket's legendary figures, tallying almost 12,000 runs in test cricket at an average of 52.88 per innings, including 24 centuries and 48 half-centuries from 1990 to 2006. Within a couple of months in 1994, he set records for highest scores in test cricket (375 against England) and first-class cricket (501 not out). After losing the test record to Australia's Matthew Hayden, who scored 380 against Zimbabwe in October 2003, Lara regained the record with an unbeaten 400 six months later in 2004. Mulder resumed day two on 264 not out, with the second new ball just eight overs old. Undeterred, he continued to dominate, reaching his triple century off 297 balls — the second-fastest ever, after Virender Sehwag's 278-ball triple ton in 2008. He eventually raced from 300 to 367 in just 37 deliveries, smashing 49 fours and 4 sixes. To stay mentally locked in during his near-seven-hour stay at the crease, Mulder revealed he repeatedly sang 'Zombie' by The Cranberries — a technique that helped him stay focused and in rhythm. South Africa coach Shukri Conrad reacts to Wiaan Mulder's record 367* 'I never even dreamt of getting a double hundred, never mind a triple hundred but it's super special,' Mulder said. 'The most important thing is it put the team in a good position to hopefully win this test.' Head coach Shukri Conrad praised his captain's performance: 'Wiaan's innings was extraordinary. Batting at No.3, facing the new ball, and showing such composure — it was a masterclass.' South Africa declared at 626-5, their highest total in nine years, before rolling Zimbabwe for 170. Test debutant Prenelan Subrayen, 31, impressed with 4-42, while Mulder added two wickets and a catch to his all-round performance. Zimbabwe's only resistance came from Sean Williams, who, despite being ill, smashed 83 off 55 balls — the fastest half-century in Zimbabwe's Test history. By stumps, Zimbabwe was 51-1 in their second innings, still trailing by 405 runs, as South Africa moved closer to wrapping up the series with another crushing win.

UFC 316 video: 'Zombie Jr.' scores ultra-violent faceplant knockout of Jeka Saragih
UFC 316 video: 'Zombie Jr.' scores ultra-violent faceplant knockout of Jeka Saragih NEWARK, N.J. – "Zombie Jr." has arrived. As JooSang Yoo walked to the cage, "Zombie" by The Cranberries echoed throughout Prudential Center. It was a bold walkout song choice, considering its ties to the "Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung. By the time Yoo (9-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) exited the UFC 316 cage, however, he proved he's perhaps worthy of maintaining the "Zombie" lineage. In the span of 28 seconds, Yoo began and concluded his promotional debut as he brutally knocked out Indonesian star Jeka Saragih with a clean counter left hook. Saragih (14-5 MMA, 1-3 UFC) tipped over, face-first into the canvas, before Yoo blasted him with a follow-up punch. Despite the frightening nature of the knockout, Saragih left the cage with assistance of his corner and a medical professional. Yoo, 31, was signed on a recent episode of "Dana White: Lookin' for a Fight," when he impressed the UFC CEO with a win for Jung's ZFN promotion, based in South Korea. The knockout was his fourth as a pro. Saragih, 30, has now lost back-to-back fights early in the first round. Up-to-the-minute UFC 316 results:
