'Big Brother 27' spoilers: Lauren's HOH reign goes from bad to worse after Veto meeting
The 22-year-old bridal consultant from Lafayette, La. (and self-described Big Brother superfan) was hoping to come away from her HOH reign with no blood on her hands. So, she nominated Keanu because he was the house's target, Kelley because she volunteered (yet again!), and Will because everyone loves him and he had just survived a 13-0 vote against .
The eligible contestants soon took part in the Week 3 Veto competition, and it was revealed on the Paramount+ live feeds that the winner of the medallion was ... Keanu!
This 33-year-old Dungeon Master from Miami is now in a similar position to last week, where he was the house's target but he came off the block because of the Power of Veto. Only this time, he won the advantage himself and didn't have to rely on the "Mystery Competitor," aka Season 20 champion Kaycee Clark.
Keanu will undoubtedly use the Veto to remove himself from the block for the second week in a row. That means Lauren will soon have to nominate a fourth houseguest for eviction.

In a conversation with Vince Panaro, her final two ride-or-die, Lauren said she was contemplating putting up Ashley Hollis as the renom. Remember, Ashley's game was on the line way back in Week 1 when she took a two-hour shower in Vince's HOH room. Katherine Woodman helped push that #showergate narrative, and Lauren and Katherine have since become besties in the house.
Another person who should watch her back is Rachel Reilly, the show's infamous "queen" and winner of Season 13. Rachel is constantly talked about as a threat in this game, but she's so far managed to avoid the block. However, if Lauren were to nominate Rachel as the renom, and Rachel were to survive, Lauren would surely have blood on her hands, which is something she's trying to avoid.
Also of note: by winning the Veto competition, Keanu earned the right to host a movie screening of The Bad Guys 2. He chose Ava Pearl and Rachel to join him. At the thought of watching a movie with Keanu, who drives her absolutely bonkers, Ava whispered to Will, "Please, God, don't!" She added, "And now Rachel is gonna watch the movie, too? I'm gonna be locked in a g--d--- room with Crazy 1 and Crazy 2. F--- my life!"
See how all the Veto drama plays out Wednesday night on CBS. Then on Thursday, the three nominees will have one last chance to save themselves in the live BB Block Buster competition.

Skydance CEO David Ellison, the son of billionaire Oracle co-founder Larry Ellison, will assume the helm of the new publicly traded company, to be called Paramount Skydance Corp., when it debuts Thursday.

Current Paramount co-CEO George Cheeks — who was instrumental in settling Paramount's lawsuit with President Trump over the controversal '60 Minutes' edit of its Kamala Harris — will remain at the new company as the chair of the TV Media division.

Calvin Harris and Vick Hope welcome son into the world
Calvin Harris has become a father for the first time. The Feel So Close hitmaker and his wife Vick Hope welcomed their son Micah into the world two weeks ago and the DJ has praised his spouse as a "superhero" after being by her side throughout the water birth. Sharing a selection of photos from Micah's birth, including a graphic shot of the placenta and it subsequently being turned into capsules of powder, Calvin wrote on Instagram: "20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here! My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful. We love you so much Micah." Vick reshared Calvin's photo of himself and Micah on her own Instagram Story and wrote: "My boys." The BBC Radio 1 presenter confirmed her pregnancy on her radio show in May. She said: "I should probably also say this is my final week before I go on maternity leave." Co-host Jamie Laing replied: "You're an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you're just going to be an amazing mum." Calvin, 41, and Vick, 35, got married in an outdoor ceremony at Hulne Priory in Alnwick, Northumberland, in September 2023. After their vows, guests including 'Big Brother's AJ Odudu and DJs Vernon Kay, Scott Mills and Jordan North were treated to a Glastonbury-style reception that included a live performance from Nile Rodgers and Chic, who flew in from the US especially for the celebrations. According to The Sun newspaper, Calvin told Vick during their vows: 'I promise to be your teammate, best friend and companion for life'. In return, his bride said: 'The pure, unadulterated euphoria I was seeking when we met? I found it instantly in you. 'I promise to keep us laughing together and to keep us meditating on and glowing in it every day for the rest of our lives'. During the reception, teepees were set up for guests to relax, and a variety of food trucks offered burgers, pizzas, and Nigerian dishes. Nile kicked off his set with Luther Vandross' 'Never Too Much' before playing hits by Madonna, David Bowie, Beyonce and Pharrell Williams and ending on his own song, 'Good Times'. Revellers then enjoyed a 10-minute firework display and there were 80 tents set up for them to camp on site overnight. A source said: 'Calvin and Vick's wedding was a day none of their guests will ever forget.'

'South Park' is about to leave HBO Max — here's when it will be gone
Back in July, Paramount confirmed "South Park" would be heading to Paramount Plus for at least the next five years. That change meant Paramount's streaming service would be the home of new episodes from "South Park" season 27 as well as the previous 26 seasons, which were on HBO Max. But at the time of that announcement, old episodes of "South Park" were still on HBO Max. In fact, as you're reading this, they still are on the streaming service formerly known as Max. That's changing this week, though. As of Tuesday, Aug. 5, old "South Park" episodes will leave HBO Max for good, joining the season 27 premiere on Paramount Plus. This is because a temporary deal between Park County, which licenses the show's streaming rights, and HBO Max will expire on that date (h/t The Hollywood Reporter). If you're reading this and wondering how this change will impact you, the answer is very simple: You need to get Paramount Plus to watch "South Park." It's now the exclusive home of the hit animated series, no matter where on Earth you're located. Paramount Plus is the exclusive home of "South Park," but it also offers hit original shows, the latest movies, and more from every brand in the Paramount umbrella. It even has live sports, including the NFL on CBS. If you're only concerned about new episodes, you could just subscribe to a live TV streaming service that carries Comedy Central. That's where new episodes of season 27 air before heading to streaming. The cheapest live TV option in the U.S. for catching new episodes is Philo. It costs just $28 a month and includes Comedy Central, dozens of entertainment channels and AMC Plus. Right now, you can try Philo free for seven days, which is a pretty good deal. But with prices starting at just $7.99 a month, a Paramount Plus subscription will still be your cheapest way to stream new episodes of "South Park."
