Party pooper Macaulay Culkin wishes he was home alone as bikini-clad fiancée leaves NOTHING to the imagination

Daily Mail​2 days ago
Macaulay Culkin looked downcast after whisking his bikini-clad fiancée Brenda Song away for a tropical vacation in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, over the weekend.
The Home alone star — who recently channeled a regular suburban dad despite his new worth of $18 million — looked stone-faced as he had an early celebration with family on the holiday before he turns 45 on August 26.
He spent time on a shaded patio near the water with his loved ones while soaking up the summer weather and bright sunshine.
The group lounged outside their hotel suite, which was decorated with silver balloons in front of a window spelling out 'Happy Birthday.'
Macaulay kept it casual in a short-sleeved red-patterned shirt, as well as a pair of matching shorts.
Brenda showed off her toned figure in a black bikini top with a plunging neckline and drawstring bottoms.
Her dark locks were styled into braided pigtails, and she covered up with a black visor.
The former Disney channel actress completed her look by adding mini earrings and fashionable black shades.
Macaulay and Brenda were spotted mingling under the shade with her parents before venturing toward the cool water.
At one point, the Hollywood actor carried his smartphone while listening in on his earbuds.
Macaulay and Brenda first sparked relationship rumors in 2017 when they were seen grabbing dinner together in Los Angeles.
The meet-up came shortly after the two stars crossed paths on the set of Seth Green's directorial debut Changeland.
And in 2022, it was revealed that the pair were engaged after the Culkin had popped the question in late 2021.
A source told People at the time, 'Macaulay and Brenda have loved being together as a family since welcoming Dakota.'

The two stars are parents to two young sons: Dakota, four, and Carson, two.
The source added, 'The engagement is the natural next step for them. They are excited for their future together.'
In 2023, Macaulay notably received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and Brenda and their two little boys supported him at the ceremony.
The couple mainly keep their private life out of the spotlight, but they offered a glimpse behind the scenes during a joint interview with Cosmopolitan earlier this year.
'That the public is like, "Wait, they're together and they have kids?" Good. That means we did our job,' Macaulay said.
Brenda then chimed in, 'There was a point in time where I was like, "I must be in a simulation! I have two children with Macaulay Culkin!"'
During the conversation, the pair also opened up about wedding plans and how they had mulled the idea of possibly eloping.
'We talked about eloping,' the actress shared. 'But I was like, "If we eloped, my mom would have a heart attack that she wasn't going to be there...'
Macaulay added that he 'wouldn't even' consider the possibly of hurting or upsetting his mother-in-law.
In 2022, Brenda also talked about wedding plans, confessing that 'Wedding planning is so expensive and it takes up so much time,' especially for a parent.
When it comes to their relationship, the couple also admitted to Cosmopolitan that if they had met 10 years ago, they most likely 'would've hated each other.'
'It took me, what, 37 years? 36 years?' Macaulay said.
Brenda added, 'But it wouldn't have happened any other way.'
Macaulay mused, 'No, but if I met you 10 years earlier....'
However, the pair ultimately decided: 'We would've hated each other.'
And while previously talking to The Times, Brenda explained that both she and her fiancé don't get into fights or arguments with each other.
She told the outlet, 'What's the point? Yelling won't get my point across any better, and he feels the same way. Once the kids are in bed, that's our time together and we talk.'
The couple have been enjoying the summer season and before their latest trip, the pair were also spotted visiting a farmer's market last month in July.
Culkin went casual in a white button-up with gray shorts and pink crocs for the lowkey outing.
He carried a bouquet of vibrant flowers while Brenda flashed a cheerful smile with their two children.
Later during the day, fellow star Seth Green crossed paths with the family and was seen having a lighthearted conversation with Macaulay.

McDonald's rolls out adult Happy Meal

McDonald's is hoping a hit of nostalgia will spark a sales revival this summer — with a new adult Happy Meal celebrating the golden age of McDonaldland. Launching August 12, the limited-time meal brings back beloved characters Grimace, Ronald McDonald, Birdie, Hamburglar, Mayor McCheese and Fry Friends. It is the first time in more than two decades that the McDonaldland gang have all appeared together in a promotion or advert. A Grimace shake in 2023 went viral. Fans can choose between a Quarter Pounder with Cheese or 10-piece Chicken McNuggets, plus fries — all with collectible tins featuring retro designs and extras like stickers and postcards. A new shake is also on the way, inspired by the 'lava' and pink clouds of McDonaldland. The chain is keeping the flavor under wraps — encouraging customers to take a sip and guess the taste — just as it rolls out a collab with Pacsun for exclusive McDonaldland merch. McDonald's has been looking for ways to grow its fan base after suffering continuous sales slumps . The chain reports second-quarter earnings Wednesday — its first update since May's dismal results, the worst since the pandemic. A month ago, snack wrap returned after a nine-year hiatus. The new offering with Grimace and friends builds on McDonald's growing line of adult meals, which kicked off with the wildly successful Cactus Plant Flea Market box in 2022. It has since rolled out other specialty creations fit for grown ups nationwide, including the Kerwin Frost Box and Minecraft Movie Meal . Beyond novelty items, the fast food giant has been making other major moves. It is extending hundreds of restaurants' hours nationwide and plans to hire 375,000 Americans this summer, it's biggest jobs push since 2020 . It also aims to open 900 new U.S. restaurants by the end of 2027. McDonald's is not the only fast food chain to be going all in on the summer fast food wars. Burger King and Wendy's have been launching flash deals. Other chains that entered the fight this season include Jimmy John's with its all-new summer menu and Dunkin' with its Sabrina Strawberry Daydream Refresher , created in collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter . Burger King and Wendy's fired the first shots this summer by launching flash deals between May and June. Both restaurant chains have been in the process of opening restaurants and bouncing back from sales dives .

Inside the downfall of Bobbi Althoff as viral sensation quits her podcast following divorce drama and backlash

She's the monotone momfluencer who became an internet sensation thanks to her awkward interviews with rap royalty. But now, Bobbi Althoff's brand of blasé humor may have finally run its course. Last week, the 27-year-old announced the end of her once-popular podcast, The Really Good Podcast. 'I didn't know I'd fall off as quickly as I did. To be honest, I did think this was going to last a bit longer,' she admitted in the final episode. 'But nevertheless, it lasted a minute and I'm proud of the accomplishments I had and I'm pretty sad that it has to end like this but it's okay.' It comes just over two years after Althoff's deadpan interview with Drake turned her into one of the biggest stars on the internet. The interview, which was released in July 2023, racked up close to 10 million views in just one month and turned the mom-of-two into social media's most viral comedian. Interviews with Mark Cuban, Offset, Scarlett Johansson, Shaquille O'Neal soon followed, as well as lucrative brand deals and a spot on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list. However, Bobbi's rise to fame has been far from smooth sailing, with the influencer sparking waves of backlash almost immediately after her breakout moment. The first hiccup was a public falling out with Drake, which led to their viral episode being wiped from Althoff's channel. The pair unfollowed each other on social media and in 2024 Althoff was allegedly removed from the rapper's after party at the South by Southwest festival in Texas. Around the same time, she was accused by critics of being an 'industry plant,' due to the fact that she'd been able to start booking A-list guests on her podcast so soon. Althoff jokingly confirmed to Keke Palmer that she was an industry plant in a podcast interview last year, and has also made light of the accusations on TikTok before. Her personal life then took a serious hit in February 2024 when her husband Cory filed for divorce after four years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. He listed their official separation date as July, 2023, which aligned with the timing of her viral Drake interview. The split led to the star being trolled on social media, which she addressed in a fiery post last year. 'Do you really believe that it was my dream in life to be a divorced mom of two kids by 25? Obviously not,' she wrote. 'I'm obviously insecure about it and wish things played out differently in my life. But that's life, things don't always end up how we expect them to.' Around the same time, she was seen partying in a Nashville nightclub with comedian Ben Da Donnn, just moments before being carried out slumped over the shoulder of an NFL star. Althoff was also forced to deny cruel claims by trolls that she had been sleeping with her male podcast guests and that it had contributed to the demise of her marriage. 'I never respond to this comment that I've been getting a million times a day for the last year, but I am really sick of seeing it,' she raged. 'Anyone who says stuff like this is so f****** ignorant. You don't know why my marriage ended, that we are both so much happier apart than we ever were together. That now our kids get to see two happy parents instead of zero.' She continued, 'I have never slept with someone I interviewed. I don't sleep around and I rarely ever go out. But you guys can't f****** believe that a woman can be around men without sleeping with them.' Althoff was also forced to deny cruel claims by trolls that she had been sleeping with her male podcast guests and that it had contributed to the demise of her marriage Now Althoff is officially ending her podcast, despite signing a new deal for the show with Studio71 just last year. 'This is a good reminder that all bad things do come to an end,' one listener wrote on YouTube. 'Honestly, I'm not surprised by your downfall,' another commented, while a third wrote, 'Wow she really wasn't joking when she said she fell off. The difference in the numbers compared to just a year ago is staggering.' According to The Hollywood Reporter, Althoff is now working on a TV comedy series after landing a development deal for her own show. But Althoff isn't the only viral influencer to see their fifteen minutes of fame come to an end. Haliey Welch, better known as 'the hawk tuah girl,' has seen a huge dip in her own popularity following her highly publicized crypto scandal. Her hit Talk Tuah podcast went on hiatus following the fallout from the scandal, and since returning the viewers and downloads have noticeably decreased compared to before. In an interview with Vanity Fair in May, the 22-year-old said that her feelings had been 'hurt' by the controversy, which resulted in many of her fans losing money on her ill-fated $HAWK memecoin. 'Half of those people that done it were, like, my fans. They trusted me, like, guiding them to it,' she told the publication. 'And I don't know… it really hurt my feelings when it turned out the way it did. I wish it hadn't have happened.' Elaborating further, Welch admitted that she didn't really even 'understand' crypto but had learned a valuable lesson from the ordeal. 'You got to be really careful what you tie your name to, and you definitely need to know what you're getting yourself into when you agree to do it. That's something I definitely should have done beforehand,' she said. 'I just feel really bad for anybody that lost money. All my comments, if you read those, people are like, "Oh, well, I lost a lot of money in this. Now my kids have to go without stuff." I don't know. It makes me feel, like, really sorry for it.' The group behind the social media star's memecoin - which dramatically crashed just hours after its launch - was sued last year after failing to register the cryptocurrency, according to court records. Although Welch herself wasn't named in the lawsuit, the backlash she received following the crypto crash caused her to exit the public eye for months.

Brooke Hogan claims late father Hulk feared marrying his wife Sky over Scientology links

Brooke Hogan has claimed she told her late father not to marry his wife Sky because of concerns about her links to Scientology. Hogan's daughter spoke to Bubba the Love Sponge on Twitch - an old friend of her father's who Brooke has known since she was a child. In an emotional interview where Brooke fought tears, she said: 'She's (Sky) nice, and she's cool (at the beginning), and, you know, I don't really want to go into too much detail about our conversations, but he was saying, you know, "She's pushing the marriage thing real hard". 'And I said, "Well, Dad, you don't have to do what you don't have to do, you know."' She claims that her father was fearful about ending things with Sky, allegeing that he said: 'Well, if I broke up with her, it'd be really bad.' And I said "What do you mean?" And he goes, "I don't want to get into it", you know, whatever.' Brooke claims she asked her dad about Sky's scientology links, to which he apparently answered: 'When I brought that up to my dad, he goes, 'Oh, well, she just doesn't want to leave [the Church of Scientology] because she still wants her kids to be able to see the grandparents and they are the highest level, like OT eight, I believe.'
