Taylor Swift's Personal Gift to Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Revealed
Taylor Swift is a mastermind when it comes to gift-giving.
The 'Anti-Hero' singer's present for longtime best friend Selena Gomez and her fiancé Benny Blanco has been revealed—and the package included several thoughtful goodies.
In a photo shared to Instagram Story July 22, Benny posted a photo of the wicker basket sent by Taylor sitting on top of a marble countertop. And inside the container was a round, golden loaf of bread wrapped in a paper bag labeled with a hand-written sticker reading, "homemade sourdough."
"It's a loaf story," Taylor wrote on another tag adorned with lavender flowers, hilariously nodding to her 2008 song "Love Story," while adding a third sticker that said, "Love, Taylor."
And a delicious slice of bread isn't all Taylor had to offer Selena and Benny, who announced their engagement back in December following one year of dating. The 35-year-old also appeared to include bottles of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to pair with the savory treat, as well as a $78 candle from Le Labo in the scent Encens 9.

However, a sweet gift is far from the only way Taylor has showed up for Selena as of late. Earlier this week, the Grammy winner stepped out in Los Angeles for the "Hands to Myself" singer's 33rd birthday party, with the besties even posing alongside each other at one point in their disco-themed ensembles.
Of course, Selena and Taylor's close friendship is nothing new. The pair have been open about how important they are to each other since first forming a connection in 2008, when they were both dating members of the Jonas Brothers. (Taylor was linked to Joe Jonas while Selena dated Nick Jonas.)
In fact, Selena recently revealed that Taylor is one of the first people she turns to when she records new music.
'With Taylor, I value her opinion so much because she's super honest,' Selena said during an interview with iHeardRadio March 27. 'So, I always play her—on any of my albums—like the top two [songs]. I like to see what she says. And she's done the same.'
As for Taylor? The "Bejeweled" singer already knows how she plans to cheer her BFF on when she ties the knot with Benny. As she wrote under Selena's engagement announcement back in December, 'Yes I will be the flower girl.'

‘Fantastic Four' Steps Toward a Solid Box Office Start
Fantastic Four: First Steps came to a theater near you this weekend, and its opening numbers are looking good. Per the Hollywood Reporter, Marvel's latest earned $218 million worldwide in its first three days. While it's slightly behind expectations and the similarly solid $220 million global opening of Superman two weeks prior, this is already more than the 2015 Fantastic movie made in its theatrical run. Of its current take, $118 million came from domestic audiences, where it outperformed initial projections. According to THR, this has been one of Marvel's best domestic openings in years. Of the three MCU movies hitting in 2025, Fantastic Four had some of the biggest momentum behind it. Not only is it the first movie starring these characters since the aforementioned 2015 film, it's distinctly different from previous MCU movies as the first to take place entirely in a separate universe. Add onto that its collective star power and glowing pre-release impressions, and it seems to have generally stuck the landing with critics and audiences alike. Meanwhile, Superman's totals increased to $502.7 million this weekend, making another $44.7 million between domestic and international markets. Jurassic World Rebirth is now at $718.4 million after making an additional $13 million in North America. Previous World movies have made a lot of money and been some of the best-grossing films of their respective years, and it looks like Rebirth will be keeping that tradition alive. Genre-wise, next weekend is free, though Paramount's been putting a lot of weight behind its Naked Gun reboot starring Liam Neeson. (Which you might've gotten a trailer or ad for ahead of Fantastic Four.) The following week on August 8 sees two family movies, albeit in different forms: on one end is the nostalgia sequel Freakier Friday, and on the opposite end is Weapons, a horror movie about missing kids. Maybe one of those can pair with Fantastic as well as Superman does? Want more io9 news?

Hulk Hogan's son Nick pays tribute to his ‘hero'
Nick Hogan, the son of wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, posted an emotional tribute to his father over the weekend. The elder Hogan died last week at the age of 71 and his son began his post Saturday thanking everyone 'who has reached out to me and comforted me over the last few days.' 'It truly means a lot,' Nick Hogan wrote in the caption of a series of photos showing him with his father over the years. 'I'm sorry to everyone I have not responded to yet. This has been overwhelming and extremely difficult.' The younger Hogan added, 'Hearing so many kind words and stories about my dad's life, interactions and experiences with everyone has been incredible and comforting.' 'My dad was the most incredible person I've ever known and will always be my hero. He was the most kind, loving and amazing father anybody could ask for,' he wrote. 'I feel so blessed to have had the greatest dad in the world. He was not only the best dad but also my mentor and my best friend.' Nick noted that he was able to spend a great deal of time with his father after moving back to Florida a few years ago to be closer to him. He made sure to thank his famous parent and 'told him how much I loved him and hugged him every chance I got.' 'I would do anything to have him back but I know now that he will always be watching over me,' he wrote. 'I will always remember the lessons and advice he gave me and carry on in a way that I know would make him proud.' Nick and his sister Brooke appeared with their father and their mother, Linda, on the VH1 reality series 'Hogan Knows Best,' which ran for four seasons from 2005 to 2007. His parents, who married in 1983, divorced in 2009.

Marvel Fans Upset Over Trailer Scenes Cut From THE FANTASTIC FOUR
Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps has finally hit theaters, kicking off Phase 6 of the MCU with a fresh take on Marvel's First Family. While fans are loving the film and dynamic of the characters, some are frustrated about what didn't make the final cut. Shortly after the film's release, Marvel fans started pointing out that several scenes shown in early trailers were nowhere to be found in the actual movie. One fan even shared stills from three specific shots missing from the final version, noting that the Johnny Storm scene appears in the movie but not in the same way. "I believe the first and third shots may have been either scenes shot just for the trailer or scenes cut to trim down the film," one fan speculated. "The second shot is there, it was just edited in the first trailer not to show Silver Surfer with him but you see the full shot in the second trailer I believe." Others voiced their disappointment with the film's pacing and runtime, which comes in at 1 hour and 55 minutes. "The movie felt chopped asf, felt like it was forced down to be under 2 hours, could've easily given it another half hour, would've given more time for certain ideas and scenes to play out properly. Give us the extended cut of this Marvel," said another fan. While I liked that movie, that is something that I agree with about the film. The story could've played out a lot smoother. Some MCU fans are growing frustrated with this trend. "This is my biggest gripe with this, and most recent, MCU movies lately. They keep cutting and editing out great scenes that would've either been important or enhance the plot. It's not even to reduce a long runtime, the movie is 1h 55m ffs, the extra 10-15 mins wouldn't have hurt," one person shared. Another fan added, "Was waiting for some of those Sue shots I wish they kept it at 2:10 tbh but I'm more than satisfied with what we got. Just hoping they release an extended cut on Disney/blu-ray cause I'll be sick if not lmao." So, will Marvel give fans the extended cut they're asking for? Probably not. The chopping up of the film in post-production is a normal thing for Marvel, though. It's just how they work. The Fantastic Four: First Steps is in theaters now, and despite the missing moments, it's already sparking a ton of conversation about what's next for the team and the rest of Phase 6.
