Adult Disney fans may find their match on the new Single Rider dating app
Single rider rides at Disney could get more interesting thanks to a new dating app aimed at adult Disney fans A new dating app is on the horizon for adults who feel most at home among churros, coasters, and costumed characters. Single Riders aims to bring together theme park enthusiasts—both romantically and platonically—whether their happy place is Disneyland, Universal Studios, or a lesser-known local favorite. Slated for release in late 2025 or early 2026, Single Riders was announced this week by the app's creator, a Disney content creator known as Joe the Bearded Nerd. The concept was born two years ago after Joe was stood up on a date and decided to lift his spirits with a solo trip to Disney World. Somewhere between popcorn carts and parade floats, inspiration struck. Named after the 'single rider' lines that offer faster entry to rides for solo guests, the app will connect users over a shared love of theme parks. While Disney fans will no doubt flock to it, Joe emphasizes that the app won't be limited to the House of Mouse—it will include Universal Studios, Knott's Berry Farm, King's Island, and other parks across the U.S. 'There's definitely interest,' Joe shared in a follow-up video, 'but we're still early in the process.' This isn't the first effort to unite theme park lovers. A decade ago, debuted with a similar mission and remains online today. But Single Riders is designed to be broader and more inclusive, welcoming fans of all parks and all types of connections. Beta sign-ups will be opening soon. At launch, the app will be U.S.-only and English-language exclusive. It's currently being developed by a two-person team—both of whom are juggling full-time jobs—so progress is steady, if not lightning-fast. Joe says potential investors have already reached out via TikTok, though fundraising decisions are still up in the air. For now, theme park romantics will have to hang tight—but the queue for Single Riders is officially open. This story was originally broken by Fortune. Solve the daily Crossword

NEED TO KNOW Denise Richards' estranged husband Aaron Phypers has accused the actress of cheating on him and being physically abusive Phypers claimed in an interview with TMZ that he discovered messages between Richards and another man on her laptop, and also accused her of hitting and scratching him His claims follow Richards' own, in which she accused her estranged husband of multiple instances of physical abuseDenise Richards' estranged husband Aaron Phypers is accusing the actress of cheating on him and being physically abusive. Earlier this week, Richards, 54, alleged that Phypers, 49, 'repeatedly abused' her throughout their six-year marriage, and she was granted a temporary restraining order. Now, in a Saturday, July 19, interview with TMZ, Phypers claimed that Richards cheated on him with another man at the beginning of the year. He said he found out about the alleged infidelity through text messages on Richards' laptop, telling TMZ he discovered selfies that Richards and the other man sent to each other, as well as messages where they exchanged phrases such as "sweet dreams" and also indicated they wanted to meet up. Phypers said he and Richards decided to stay together after he confronted her about the alleged texts. He also accused Richards of hitting him, scratching him and smashing his phone. Representatives for Richards did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's requests for comment on July 19, nor did representatives and lawyers for Phypers.

Days later, Richards accused Phypers of multiple instances of physical abuse, and she was later granted a temporary restraining order against him. She alleged in court documents obtained by PEOPLE that her estranged husband would "frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom towel rack" and "threaten to kill me," among other allegations. Phypers, who wed Richards in 2018, denied the allegations of physical abuse as "completely false and deeply hurtful" in a statement to PEOPLE. Read the original article on People

Katy Perry nearly plummets from floating butterfly as giant prop malfunctions during her show
First Beyoncé, now Katy Perry. The 'Part of Me' singer was in San Francisco on Friday night performing as part of her Lifetimes Tour, when a giant butterfly prop she was riding malfunctioned as it hung suspended over the crowd. As seen in several video clips shared by audience members on social media, Perry was in the midst of performing her 2013 hit 'Roar' at the Chase Center when the prop – on which Perry was rigged – jerked and dropped suddenly. Perry immediately stopped singing and managed to regain her balance and composure, at first looking up at the contraption that connected the butterfly to cables above. As the prop swung, Perry soon began performing the song again. CNN has reached out to representatives for Perry for comment. The near-mishap is at least the second such incident at a major tour this summer, after a flying car prop feratured in Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter tour tilted midair during a concert in Houston last month. The singer was quickly lowered down and without injury, according to Beyoncé's entertainment and management company at the time.
