Cindy Crawford’s lookalike daughter is quickly gaining fashion fame
Kaia Gerber may only be 16 years old, but she’s already earning international recognition for her fashion appearances, most recently for walking Valentino’s runway at Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week. Kaia, who is the daughter of Rande Gerber and supermodel Cindy Crawford, wore a billowing pink dress and big (big!) hair in the show that received a rare standing ovation:
This “House of Cards” promo is a badass wink to the #METOO movement
Fans of Netflix’s “House of Cards” have had to reconcile their appreciation for the show with the #METOO reckoning that brought down series star Kevin Spacey. After Spacey’s abrupt departure from the show and his role as Frank Underwood, we learned that Netflix would end the series after its next season. And now we have been gifted this amazing promo video, which is both a wink to the #METOO movement and a display of character Claire Underwood’s quiet and chilling power. We’re thinking actress Robin Wright is going to be just fine helming this show on her own.

Happy Independence Day, America!
Get Kylie Jenner’s look for July 4th
Admit it, you’ve got the Holiday-itis. That thing where you can think only of the festivities to come, and absolutely “cannot” for anything else. Yeah, we have it too. So as we consider our fashion and food game for Wednesday’s Fourth of July celebrations, here’s a tutorial from makeup maven Kylie Jenner on how to perfect her extensive beauty routine:
“Bob’s Burgers” food delivery is happening – IRL
As fans of “Bob’s Burgers” on FOX, we know to always check the background of the restaurant scenes in every episode to catch a joke on the Burger of the Day chalkboard. (Consider these gems: Foot Feta-ish Burger; Mission A-Corn-Plished Burger; and Olive and Let Die Burger. C’mon, those are just funny.) So we were psyched to find out that the meal kit delivery service Blue Apron has just paired with “Bob’s Burgers” to deliver ingredients for two burgers that have actually appeared on the iconic cartoon chalkboard, and one that will appear in the season 9 premiere. Though NOT in time for Fourth of July celebrations (whyyyy cruel world, why!?), we’ll see three burger variations over the summer:
Week of July 23: The Quantum of Salsa Burger with Corn-Pepper Salsa & Onion Rings
Week of August 20: The Gouda Wife Burger with Cucumber-Radish Salsa & Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Week of September 17: The Absentee Shallot Burger with Caramelized Shallots & Fontina Cheese Fries
You can also snag a limited-edition Blue Apron x Bob’s Burgers apron, which will be sold exclusively through the Blue Apron website beginning in August.
Exclusive recipe collaborations between Eggslut’s Chef Alvin Cailan and @BobsBurgersFOX hit Blue Apron boxes three times this summer. We can’t wait, either! Check out https://t.co/R0DgGRnO1w for more info 🍔 #BlueApronxBobsBurgers pic.twitter.com/Wtd4yrdgQ6

Tour Frank Lloyd Wright’s famed winter estate in this immersive 3D experience
The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation just made it easier to tour Taliesin West, the renowned architect’s winter estate in Scottsdale, Arizona. Before Wright’s death in 1959, the estate functioned as both his winter home and a working studio where he designed the Guggenheim Museum, among other famous works. Today the property is the headquarters for the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, which collaborated with Leica Geosystems and Multivista to create an immersive 3D experience for fans who can’t make the trip to visit. “We’re able to carry out our mission, and Wright’s vision into the future, by making Taliesin West available to the world so it can experience his ideas, architecture and design in new ways,” said Stuart Graff, president and CEO of the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation.

PSA for 80s kids: Cheez Balls are BACK, baby!
Planters just dropped the news that Cheez Balls, their widely celebrated baked cheese-puff snacks of the 80s, are officially going back on sale for a limited time starting Sunday.
You craved, I listened. #CheezBalls are back July 1 at select stores and online! Get ‘em while they’re… cheezy. https://t.co/mk5iY4lr03 – Mr. 🎩🥜 #SayCheezBalls pic.twitter.com/7nw7qhCFdh

Sure, Cheez Balls have lookalikes (Cheetos or Utz, for instance). But the flavor and crunch of the Planters variety has been missing from our lives for just far too long. So we shall buy cans (remember the cans?!?) of the savory, crunchy junk food of our youth, and we shall celebrate. Join us.
And for nostalgia’s sake, here’s an old Planters Cheez Balls commercial:
Cardi B’s baby shower was a love letter to the Bronx
Cardi B and Offset hosted their baby shower in Atlanta on Tuesday night, and the soirée was appropriately titled, “Bardi Shower: A Bronx Fairy Tale.” Social media posts from the party show subway-themed decorations, a Bardi Baby Bodega, and pink flowers literally everywhere. The mom-to-be wore a body-hugging gown that showed off her substantial baby bump while she took pics with her (recently confirmed!) husband Offset and danced with her sister Hennessy Carolina. Congrats to the happy family!

Some of our favorite athletes stripped down for ESPN’s “The Body Issue”
ESPN just released the photos from its annual “The Body Issue,” and the images in the 10th anniversary edition are quite impressive. Legendary golfer Greg Norman still looks amazing at 63, wrestler Charlotte Flair resembles her dad Ric in his heyday, and Adam Rippon’s butt is definitely real.
There are a total of 16 world-class athletes from various sports featured in the immersive digital experience. “When ESPN The Magazine’s BODY Issue first launched in October 2009, no one could have dreamed that 10 editions, 207 photo shoots and 286 athletes later we’d have made such a powerful impact showcasing these remarkable people and all that their bodies are capable of achieving,” said Alison Overholt, editor-in-chief of ESPN The Magazine and espnW. “The goal has always been for us to celebrate the athletic form – in every shape and size – and to allow people to stop and marvel at the works of art these bodies truly are.”
A digital photo archive gallery is available of all athletes over the past nine years at espn.com/bodyissuearchive, and a documentary called “BODY10: A Decade of ESPN The Magazine’s BODY Issue” will air on July 5.
