The Barbenheimer look
Last weekend, Barbenheimer took hold and while some were going to see either Barbie or Oppenheimer, some were going to see both. One creative person absolutely nailed their outfit.
Danielle, whose Twitter handle is @hottoiletwater told The Wrap the outfit was inspired by RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Violet Chachki.

Mitch McConnell freezes
During a speech about a defence policy bill, Republican Mitch McConnell suddenly froze and had to be escorted away from the media.
After the unsettling incident, McConnell returned and said he was fine, although an aide said he was light-headed and needed to step away for a moment.

Stunt man’s strike action
Mike Massa, who was Harrison Ford’s stunt double in the latest Indiana Jones flick, set himself on fire during a SAG-AFTRA rally, adding that stunt professionals are “tired of being burned by the AMPTP”.
Hollywood actors and writers are still on strike, after both unions failed to reach agreements with the major studios. Both unions want better pay and assurance AI won’t take their jobs.

Irish singer-songwriter Hozier was among the many musicians who paid tribute to Sinead O’Connor after her death.

Reporter’s ‘dangerous’ question
A BBC reporter asked the captain of Morocco’s Women’s World Cup team, Ghizlane Chebbak, whether any of her teammates were gay.
In Morocco, same-sex intimacy is criminalised, so the question was slammed for putting Chebbak on the spot and the BBC subsequently apologised. In the moment, the moderator told the reporter the question was “too political”.
