Hailey Bieber has us seeing red this summer, but in the best way possible. The model, who is married to “Peaches” singer Justin Bieber, has tried everything from TikTok’s viral tomato girl makeup, cinnamon cookie butter hair, nail polish colors for spring and even latte makeup, but after Tuesday (Aug. 28), she’s officially deemed it a strawberry girl summer.

The media personality and founder of Rhode Skin announced a red-hot collaboration with Krispy Kreme that was released on Tuesday — and it’s a sweet one. Now, you can snag a limited-edition strawberry glaze flavor of her highly rated Peptide Lip Treatment inspired by the delicious strawberry glazed doughnut from the doughnut brand (while supplies last).
To tease the release, the Biebers took to the streets of New York City, with the model sporting various bright red outfits featuring her Ferragamo purse, some Manolo Blahnik kitten mules — all topped off with the new lip gloss. She also posted photos of the big day on Instagram to celebrate the launch.
“STRAWBERRY GLAZE DAY!!!!!!!!! Feeling over the moon today🍓❤️ thank you thank you thank you!” the she wrote in the caption.
The pop star, on the other hand, took a more casual approach while supporting his wife, opting for a gray hoodie and his classic yellow Crocs, which are just one of the many sold-out celebrity Crocs collaborations you can still snag here.
If you’re ready to embrace the strawberry girl makeup trend, make sure you have this lip gloss in your arsenal, as it’s not only Krispy Kreme-inspired, but is packed with ingredients that’ll leave your lips shiny and kissable. Grab it on the Rhode Skin website or shop it below.

Dolly Parton may be one of the biggest country stars in history, but outside of performing, the “Jolene” singer is also a devoted pet owner.

The collection released in Petco and online Monday (Aug. 28), which means you can get your hands on Doggy Parton merch from a Parton-inspired blonde wig to a pink cowboy hat topped off with a tiara.
To celebrate the launch, the singer took to Instagram on Monday to share the news.
“@btkthefrenchie and I had to see it for ourselves! @doggyparton is officially available at @petco 🐾❤️” the caption reads, followed by a video of Parton showing off some of the items in a Petco.

Time is a luxury and when it comes to styling your hair, and spending an hour or more per day on it is not maintainable. Lately, blow dryer brushes have swooped in to create a time-saving alternative. While the Dyson Airwrap is probably the first model you think of when you hear blow dryer brush, there are other, more affordable options out there that will not only leave you with a salon-worthy blowout, but won’t result in your wallet giving you the side-eye.

No matter what your budget is, before you wait for some beauty deals to knock down the price of the Dyson version, Billboard tested out Drybar’s Double-Shot Blow Dryer Brush, which acts as a worthy Dyson Airwrap dupe. The stying brush is only $155 compared to Dyson’s $600 price tag and is available on Amazon, Sephora, Ulta, Nordstrom and Target.

Drybar Double Shot Oval Blow Dryer Brush
$155.00 $154.08
As someone with thick hair, it’s not uncommon for my hair to frizz, making the traditional blow-dry approach unappealing. I also just don’t have the coordination to hold the hair dryer in one hand and brush in the other while attempting to flick and style sections just like at the salon.
Instead, I’d just wait until my bi-annual haircuts where I’d get my hair blown out at the end of the appointment. This continued on until blow drying brushes like the Dyson, Revlon’s One-Step and Shark’s SmoothStyle took over my social feeds. As a shopping writer, I did my due diligence and researched various models on the market that could handle thick, frizz-prone hair yet wouldn’t break the bank — and that’s when I discovered Drybar’s Double Shot Oval Blow Dryer Brush.
While it’s more of a splurge, the styling brush is totally worth it as it comes with a wide brush that can hold and dry more hair. Where I’d normally spend over 30 minutes blow drying my hair, it now only takes me around 20 minutes — so you’re getting your money’s worth. It may sound cliché, but the end result is salon-quality — my hair is smooth, bouncy and has lots of shine to it. That’s likely due to the use of ionic technology, which helps seal the cuticle for less frizz. The brand also strategically placed the vent holes to help speed up drying time, while the brush’s oval shape helps smooth and add volume as you style.
You can also choose between three modes: cool, medium and high, which can be customized to your desired haircare needs. While price tag remains steep at $150, it’s well worth it thanks to the ergonomic design and drastically shorter drying tim,e resulting in shinier, smooth hair that looks as though I’ve just stepped out of the salon.

Does Beyoncé shop at Amazon? Queen Bey teamed with the retail giant to release Renaissance Tour merch, but fans have apparently spotted another item from Amazon after the “Cozy” singer shared photos from her concert in Phoenix over the weekend.
The photo gallery includes a snapshot of Beyoncé backstage sipping water from a tumbler and it looks like they BeyHive may have found the same one online — and an affordable dupe.

Although some BeyHive members in her Instagram comments confused the water bottle with a similar version from the same brand, an eagle-eyed fan appears to have tracked down the exact same tumbler that Bey used. The fan shared a photo on X (formerly Twitter).
The Contigo Autoclose Shake & Go Tumbler is sold out at Amazon, but it’s currently available online at Walmart. You can also grab a similar option from the same brand at Amazon for $11.
Walmart
Contigo Autoclose Shake & Go Tumbler 20 oz.
$45.87
The Autoclose Shake & Go Tumbler has a double-wall, shatter-resistant plastic body with a removable straw and “trap door” under lid that’s designed for “clean and easy shaking and mixing,” per the product description. The tumbler is perfect for iced tea, coffee, water and other beverages and promises no leaks or spills. Some of the customer reviews pointed out at the Autoclose Tumbler is “perfect for travel” and fits easily in a cup holder. It’s available in clear/monaco and scuba blue with bubblegum pink.
The Shake & Go Fit Mixer Bottle from Cantigo retails for $11. According to its product description, the plastic bottle features a “unique” rounded-bottom design with a weighted shaker ball engineered to reduce clumps and build up, making it easier to mix up your protein drinks and shakes. It can also be used for water, of course, and other beverages.
Amazon
Contigo Shake & Go Fit Shaker Bottle, 28 oz., Carolina Blue, Snap Lid
$11.00 $11.99 8% OFF
The leak-proof, dishwasher-safe bottle, which is available in 20 ounce and 28-ounce designs, has volume markings on the side for easy measurement and a convenient, carry-and-go handle. The lid is available in black and Carolina blue and customer reviews point out that the bottle is “sturdy” with “no leaks” and “great for protein shakes.”
Beyoncé hasn’t officially endorsed or confirmed the Contigo connection, but a co-sign from Queen Bey goes a long way. Makeup artist Patrick Starr cant certainly attest to that fact — his One/Size On ‘Til Dawn Matte Waterproof Setting Spray sold out after she used it on tour earlier this month (it’s now back in stock at Sephora).
Speaking of which, the Renaissance Tour makes its way to Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. on Wednesday (Aug. 30) followed by three nights at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. starting on Sept. 1. Click here for tickets.

The R-rated movie has been a moviegoing constant since 1968, when the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) created the modern rating system.
R of course stands for “Restricted,” which initially meant “Persons under 16 not admitted, unless accompanied by parent or adult guardian.” That age threshold was upped to 17 in 1970.
We’ve had movies rated R (and G, for general audiences) in every iteration of the rating system. The two other ratings during the first two years of the system (1968-70) were M (“Suggested for mature audiences – parental discretion advised”) and X (“Persons under 16 not admitted”).
The three other ratings under the current system are PG (Parental Guidance Suggested), PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned) and NC-17 (adults only).
The modern ratings system was created in 1968 to replace the Motion Picture Production Code, also known as the “Hays Code” – which had been in place since 1930. Such ground-breaking films as Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? and Blow-Up (both 1966) made the old code seem archaic. Jack Valenti, who had become president of the MPAA in May 1966, took the lead in creating a new system. On Nov. 1, 1968, the voluntary MPAA film rating system took effect. (The MPAA became the MPA in 2019 when they dropped the word America from their name.)
Let’s take a look at the 10 highest-grossing R-rated films of all time, according to boxofficemojo.com. All of the films in the top 10 are from this century, which makes sense, owing to higher ticket prices. To give you an idea of the popular R-rated films from the 1970s, ’80s and ’90s, we looked deeper on the boxofficemojo.com list. Here are the top three R-rated films, in descending order, from each of those decades.
1970s: The Exorcist (1973), National Lampoon’s Animal House (1978), The Godfather (1972)
1980s: Beverly Hills Cop (1984), Rain Man (1988), Fatal Attraction (1987)
1990s: Saving Private Ryan (1998), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Pretty Woman (1990)
A current hit, Oppenheimer, has already made this list. It also surpassed Bad Boys for Life to become the top-grossing R-rated film of the 2020s. (No. 3 for the decade: John Wick: Chapter 4.)
Todd Phillips directed three of 10 highest-grossing R-rated films of all-time – the first two films in The Hangover trilogy and Joker. Bradley Cooper starred in three of the 10 highest-grossing R-rated films of all time – the first two Hangover films and American Sniper. (Movie buffs should check out our lists of the top 10 box-office hits of 2023 and the 30 highest-grossing films directed or co-directed by women. Spoiler alert: Barbie heads both lists.)
