'Happy Gilmore 2''s Kym Whitley on the Surprising Perks of Her Weight Loss: 'I'm Enjoying Tying My Shoes!'
NEED TO KNOW Kym Whitley is starring in Happy Gilmore 2 She is also partnering with Zepbound after using the GLP-1 drug to lose weight over the past year She gives one piece of advice to those who may be struggling with their weightActress and comedian Kym Whitley has one piece of advice for those who want to begin their own weight loss journey: Patience is key. 'Please, [even] this hairstyle wasn't an overnight thing,' Whitley, 63, tells PEOPLE. 'Everything good takes a moment — you have to remember to just take it one day at a time.' The Happy Gilmore 2 actress — who stars opposite Adam Sandler (reprising his role from the 1996 film), Bad Bunny, Margaret Qualley and Julie Bowen in the sequel, out July 25 — spoke exclusively to PEOPLE about her own recent weight loss, done with the help of Zepbound, an injectable prescription medication that helps manage obesity. 'I've struggled with obesity most of my adult life — I've lost weight, I've gained weight and I felt stuck,' Whitley says. 'Some trusted friends mentioned Zepbound. I called my doctor and when he showed me Zepbound, I was all in.' She also emphasizes that she incorporated the drug into her overall health goals, rather than trying to target a specific amount to lose. After addressing her weight management issues with her doctor, she incorporated the drug into her diet and exercise routine. 'It's not about looking at the number on the scale or losing weight to fit into a dress,' she says. "I would encourage people to look at the long-term goal.' Since losing weight (though she doesn't want to share exactly how much, saying she's more focused on feeling good) Whitley is motivated to consistently eat healthier and exercise daily — even if it's only for a few minutes a day. And she's seeing results beyond the scale. 'I'll be honest, I'm enjoying tying my shoes.' Whitley says. "I have found enjoyment in travel again, I really enjoy that. Before [the weight loss], it was a little difficult, but now I'm enjoying riding a bike. [And] I find enjoyment in playing with my son." Whitley welcomed her son Joshua through adoption in 2011, and shares that prioritizing her health is important as a single parent. "I try to balance my lifestyle for him," she says. "That's why I started on this weight loss journey, so that I could feel unstuck, because I was stuck for a long time." And balance is critical, not just for health, but for her busy life as well. "It is not easy, being a mother and balancing all that. I go on tour, I do my movies, I do my television shows, but I always make a niche or time for my son," she says. "And the same way I make a niche and a time for me, and I do a healthy lifestyle so that I can be a better mother for my son. And that's really what I want to encourage everyone, that's what I want to tell everyone: To really get involved and find out how they can get a better, healthier lifestyle, to talk to their doctors so we can become better mothers."

This '90s Movie Is a Sci-Fi Techno-Noir Gem, and It's Streaming Free on Tubi
Techno-noir may not have ever been a major genre, but it delivers twists and turns in a futuristic city where things are darker than they seem. Films like Johnny Mnemonic, Blade Runner and 12 Monkeys popularized the genre, but they're far from the only options. One of my overlooked favorites of the genre is Dark City, a mind-bending techno-noir thriller that explores the idea of identity against a city swathed in darkness. Released in 1998, the underrated gem preceded The Matrix by a year, and it's streaming for free on Tubi right now Watch on Tubi I've been a fan of techno-noir vibes since my first time watching Blade Runner, and the '90s delivered a spate of excellent options that let me feast my eyes on beautiful sets, amazing stories and worlds that felt real and gritty in the best of ways. Dark City delivers a futuristic city swathed in shadows, with vibes from the 1950s like automats, or the costume design, and it's a style I can't get enough of. A man wakes up in a bathtub with no memory of who he is or how he got there. Almost immediately, things go off the rails. There's a dead woman in the next room, a cryptic phone call telling our unknown protagonist to get out of there, and a mystery that begins to unfold in the dark streets of the city. John Murdoch figures out who he is slowly through a series of clues, like his name in a ledger at the motel and his briefcase. As he tries to figure out what happened, he's beset on two sides. Police Inspector Frank Bumstead is trying to unravel a case of dead prostitutes that's leading him toward John. And then there are the mysterious "strangers." Tall, pale men who seemingly have the ability to change reality via "tuning." John is cornered by these strangers, but in a moment of desperation manages to alter reality and escape their clutches. Soon after, the clock strikes midnight, and John watches as every person in the city falls asleep, and the strangers use their mysterious abilities to change the architecture of the city itself. As John tries to recover his memories, he remembers he is from a small town outside the city called Shell Beach. However, any attempts to reach it end in failure. At this point, John is apprehended by the inspector, who believes him when he explains that something strange is going on in the city and uses his ability to tune to prove it. The atmosphere, set design, and overall cinematography in Dark City make every frame worth noticing. The 100-minute length is infused with mystery, drama and more questions than answers. The strangers stalk John and the inspector, a local doctor who has information about the strangers and where they came from, and the city continues to change and trap everyone within its alleys. I won't spoil the third act for you when you find out what the strangers are really after, and the methods they employ to find answers. When John begins to unravel the mystery he woke up inside of, things go from weird to truly out there. The murders, the amnesia and the city are all linked by the strangers, and once you find out what happened, there is no going back. Dark City reached cult classic status with good reason. While it might not have been a box office hit, it's still an amazing watch 27 years later. It's one of those sci-fi movies that gets me every time, and the cast delivers a top-notch performance. Sream it for free on Tubi, and discover the mystery for yourself.

Chipotle will premiere a new album from Hype House alum Alex Warren.
Posted Jul 16, 2025 at 9:36 PM UTC Chipotle will premiere a new album from Hype House alum Alex Warren. Chipotle is hosting 'one of the biggest and most unique listening parties in music history' tomorrow for You'll Be Alright, Kid , a new album from TikTok Hype House member Alex Warren. Judging from his current hit, 'Ordinary,' Warren's music has a lot in common with how Chipotle tastes, so the combo makes sense. The song will play at restaurants on Thursday night, and there's a giveaway tied to the Chipotle app. Hopefully, it works out better than McDonald's $1 million Flexi-Disc promotion in 1989.
