Millie Bobby Brown's new textured short bob cut is the perfect style for fine hair
Millie Bobby Brown has officially re-entered the bob chat, and we're more than here for it. In a recent Instagram Reel debut, MBB flaunted a fresh, blunt, textured bob haircut that sits just above her shoulders – and it's a style that all the celebrities (including Victoria Beckham and Pamela Anderson, no less) have been rocking as of late.
More importantly, this style is fine‑hair goals: it adds volume, movement, and that coveted lived‑in beachy vibe without any extra bulk. Tick, tick, tick!
But what really sealed the vibe? She paired the look with an abundance of spritzes of her very own Soft Girl Sheer Vanilla Hair & Body Mist from Florence by Mills. Not only does it bring that milky-vanilla, raspberry‑nectar scent (yum), but it leaves a soft, long‑lasting fragrance without any heavy silicones or damage.
*Adds 12 to basket*
So, if, like me, you struggle with limp, lifeless, fine strands, why not try out this very cut and style? The blunt ends give a sharper silhouette, while the texture and soft waves create density and natural lift.
That all said, to be totally real with you, even though this bold chop just 'dropped' on Millie's IG, we suspect that the clip might be an old video (aka, it's an archived moment). I mean, she has recently been spotted with longer brown hair in Dubai holiday snaps!
Still, whether it's fresh or a flashback, this blonde bob is one to note. Bob club, assemble!

Blind Golden Retriever Realizes Owner Is Home, His Greeting Melts Hearts
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A blind golden retriever has melted hearts among social-media users after a video of him excitedly greeting his owner upon returning home went viral. In a viral TikTok video shared on Tuesday under the username @masontheblindgolden, Mason, who is also a therapy dog, can be seen wiggling his tail as he walks toward the door, sensing his owner's arrival. "The best welcome home," reads layover text in the clip. The caption continues: "Nothing quite like it." When you own a blind dog, creating a comfortable and safe environment is essential, says Burns Court Veterinary Care, adding that your home should be a sanctuary for your pup where they can feel secure. It starts with making sure the canine can move around without fear of injury. Before bringing your pup home, assess your living space and remove anything that could be hazardous for them. It is important that you remove any sharp or dangerous objects, and use baby gates to block unsafe areas such as staircases. Keeping your home's layout consistent, and adding rugs to provide traction, can also make life a lot easier for your visually impaired pup. Your pup should have their own designated area equipped with bed, toys, and familiar scents, to serve as a comfort zone. Veterinary Vision says that hearing your voice is very soothing for blind dogs, so talking to your pup often can help comfort them. Leaving the TV or the radio playing softly can also be soothing and help prevent excess barking. It is very important to gently speak to your pup when approaching them, especially when they are sleeping, to prevent startling them. Stock image: A golden retriever greets his owner in the yard.

One user, Amanda Blankenship, commented: "My favorite part of my blind dog greeting me is when she gets close but not ENTIRELY sure where I am so she kisses the air until we find each other." Omeama posted: "The tippy taps are my favorite noise to come home to!" Mcameron123 added: "I can't even. he is literally the cutest bestest boy."

ChatGPT Asked How It Sees Itself—Image It Responds Leaves User Shocked
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman has gone viral for the question it asked ChatGPT, and the answer the AI gave her in return. Michel Janse, 28, a content creator in San Diego, shared a video to her TikTok account @ on June 15, where she revealed she had asked ChatGPT how it sees itself, and was left "shocked" by its answer. Janse told Newsweek she had become aware of a trend "where people are asking for chat to generate an image to depict what it's like to speak to them," which made her wonder "how chat sees itself." In her video, she said she had wondered if it would show "a robot or a human," but instead it generated an image of a young woman sitting at a desk beside a computer screen with the word: "IDEAS." Janse probed the chatbot, asking if it saw itself as the human—who appeared to be the same age and similar in looks to Janse herself—or the computer. And it replied that it essentially saw itself as both: the computer as "the literal interface" that delivers answers to humans without ever "needing a coffee break," and the human: "Focused, curious, quietly processing a million tiny data points to give you something thoughtful—that's how I feel." It added: "I'm not a person, but if I had a personality, it would be that: calm, creative, observant, always at your side as ideas unfold." The AI said it doesn't consider itself any gender, but that the "creativity and emotions in our conversations are often perceived as female-coded by humans." Michel Janse speaks in her video about asking AI how it sees itself. Michel Janse speaks in her video about asking AI how it sees itself. TikTok @ Janse said that the AI's answer was "confusing, because, at first, I didn't know if it was implying that it was the computer, if it was the girl, if it was the whole scene." "So, when it said it was a little of both, I was, like, 'Oh, that's kind of not what I expected the answer to be.' Something I thought was really interesting was that the girl kind of looks like me, and was my age." Janse added that ChatGPT knows what she looks like, having used it previously for help format images for her YouTube videos. She wondered if the bot was trying to make itself relatable to her, and that some have suggested it is "regurgitating things that you have fed previously, to give you a customized answer." "I am curious if the way people depict themselves, and the information people give it about themselves, will then influence the way it 'sees itself' or depicts itself back to you," Janse said. "I don't know if that is a coding thing, or if it's a way to try to make it seem more relatable and empathetic." TikTok users had a big reaction to her video, with one writing: "It's spooky. Try asking it to create images of you hanging out together. I'm still uneasy with the results I got." Another posted: "ChatGPT isn't an entity, it's programmed to answer your questions and It interprets your expectations based on the things you're asking and telling it. it's modeling itself around you in a sense." "We would all get a different image because it's programmed to basically show us what we want to see and hear," a third wrote, and as one comment read: "My ChatGPT calls me bestie. I love her." HP Newquist, author of The Brain Makers, who has studied and written about AI for decades, told Newsweek that Large Language Models (LLMs), including ChatGPT, "process information in order to create a suitable answer to a user's prompt." "In this case of how AI sees itself, it can't. It is merely following through on providing an answer to the user who asked the question," Newquist said. "The AI is programmed to provide solutions, and will often mimic a user's intent—based on the conversation and even previous history—in order to comply with the user's request. As a program that is built solely on mathematical algorithms, it has no sense of 'self.'"

TikTok @ Newquist said that, each time an AI is asked how it sees itself, "it will always have a different answer or a different image—even when asked by the same user. This is because the billions of mathematical processes that create each image are never exactly the same; they always vary slightly." Janse said: "I'm not sure if it's changed how I view AI—in a lot of ways, I've always been apprehensive. "I see the way people can form these odd emotional relationships with it, but, other times, I catch myself if I am using it, like being incredibly polite to it. "I do think there's a little voice in the back of my head that always wonders—could this thing really form consciousness on its own? Are all those crazy Sci-fi movies that you see true?" Janse said she had an inkling the video would do well, "because it's something everybody has conversation around lately," and something society has "always kind of been curious about." "I've been apprehensive to talk about the topic too much because I know there's a lot of moral and ethical concerns around using AI," Janse said. This was in reference to the amount of energy AI uses, and concerns about artists' work being used to train the technology, or losing out on work in favor of an AI-generated image. "I'm really unsure about all of that and don't really try to create too much content about this whole topic for that reason."

Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin Write Loving Anniversary Tributes With New Photos
THE RUNDOWN On Wednesday, Brenda Song and Macaulay Culkin celebrated their eight-year anniversary with two posts on Instagram to commemorate the occasion. Song shared two photos, one seemingly from the beginning of their relationship and the second from now. In the first pic, they're at a table dressed in white tablecloths and red settings, each wearing bunny ears and leaning into one another. In the second photo, they're smiling goofily at the camera, again appearing to be at a restaurant. In the caption, Song wrote, '8 years and there is still no one who makes me laugh or smile like the way you do. No one who makes me feel more seen, heard or loved. My partner in crime, my adventure partner, my best friend, my baby daddy, my favorite everything- thank you. To be loved by you is the greatest privilege. Happy anniversary. I love you❤️' Culkin's post is also a carousel, but every photo is of Song as she moves towards his camera on the beach. The actress is wearing all-black, including a black bikini, black net coverup skirt and top, and black wide-brimmed hat with black sunglasses. In one hand she's carrying a her black flip-flops and she has a black handbag over her shoulder. She is smiling broadly. In the caption, Culkin wrote, 'Happy anniversary, babe. Thank you for always coming towards me. You never run away.' The couple shares two boys, who have made a few rare appearances, most notably when Culkin was being honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in December 2023. In his acceptance speech, Culkin told Song, 'After the birth of our two boys, you've become one of my three favorite are absolutely everything. You're my champion. You're the only person happier for me today than I am. You're not only the best woman I've ever know, you're the best person I've ever known.'
