Is Father's Day getting more respect? Depends on who you ask
Is Father's Day starting to get a little more attention as a holiday? Not if you check some social media. In an expletive-filled post on TikTok and X, rapper Plies, best known for his collaborations with T-Pain and DJ Khaled on hits 'Shawty' and 'I'm So Hood,' complains about how Father's Day on Sunday carries about as much clout as Groundhog Day, saying it might as well be removed from the calendar. ' The disrespect to Father's Day is real ' declares a separate Reddit post, which adds, 'We get it, fathers aren't important to corporations, but damn, can't I at least get some free donuts or chicken strips?' Perhaps Shake Shack's buy one Double ShackBurger get a second one free in stores and on its app through Monday doesn't count? Or Wendy's buy one get one free deal on premium sandwiches through its app on Sunday? Or Burger King's buy one get one free deals on Whoppers through the app? It's true the offers aren't quite as broad as on Mother's Day. But the spending disparity with Mother's Day may be narrowing, according to the National Retail Federation and Prosper Insights & Analytics. The organizations forecast that a record-breaking $24 billion will be spent on Father's Day this year, surpassing the previous mark of $22.9 billion in 2023. They say consumers plan to spend an average of $199.38 on their dads and father figures this year. Of course, that still pales in comparison to this year's $259.04 average planned for moms, which totals about $34.1 billion, or $10.1 billion more than Father's Day spending. That is a 21% smaller gap than the $12.8 billion difference there was between Mother's Day and Father's Day spending in 2023. Other studies disagree, though. RetailMeNot forecasts a $25 drop in spending for dads this year, down to about $232 per shopper, while moms get an average of $360 per shopper, up $43 this year.

'How to Train Your Dragon' soars in box office debut with $83 million, beating 'Lilo and Stitch'
'How to Train Your Dragon' took flight at the box office this weekend, proving that some remakes still have teeth. The Universal live-action adaptation of the beloved animated franchise soared to a strong $83 million debut in North American theaters, according to Comscore estimates Sunday. The film, directed by franchise veteran Dean DeBlois, follows the unlikely friendship between a young Viking named Hiccup (Mason Thames) and a dragon called Toothless. The reboot easily outpaced 2019's 'How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World,' which opened with $55 million. It also claimed the No. 1 spot ahead of Disney's 'Lilo and Stitch,' which slipped to second place after topping the charts for three weekends. That hybrid live-action remake added another $15 million, pushing its domestic total past $386.3 million. 'Materialists," a modern-day New York love story starring Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans, rounded out the top three films of the week with a $12 million debut. The romantic dramedy features Johnson as a savvy matchmaker caught between two suitors: a broke, struggling actor who happens to be her ex, and a wealthy 'unicorn' who seems too good to be true. 'Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning' slid to fourth place, taking in $10.3 million and avoiding a dip into single-digit territory. The John Wick spinoff 'Ballerina' fell to fifth place with $9.4 million, despite strong reviews from both critics and audiences. Directed by Len Wiseman, the action film stars Ana de Armas and features Keanu Reeves reprising his role in a supporting turn. In sixth place, 'Karate Kid: Legends' earned $5 million followed by 'Final Destination: Bloodlines' at seventh with $3.9 million. Wes Anderson's latest 'The Phoenician Scheme' brought in $3 million eighth place. 'The Life of Chuck,' based on a Stephen King story, placed ninth with $2.1 million. Rounding out the top 10 was ' Sinners." The Ryan Coogler film starring Michael B. Jordan, drew $1.4 million. Top 10 movies by domestic box office With final domestic figures being released Monday, this list factors in the estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Comscore: 1. 'How to Train Your Dragon," $83.7 million 2. 'Lilo and Stitch,' $15.5 million. 3. 'Materialists," $12 million. 4. 'Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning,' $10.3 million. 5. 'From the World of John Wick: Ballerina,' $9.4 million. 6. 'Karate Kid: Legends,' $5 million. 7. 'Final Destination: Bloodlines,' $3.9 million. 8. 'The Phoenician Scheme,' $3 million. 9. 'The Life of Chuck," $2.1 million. 10. 'Sinners,' $1.4 million.

Brad Pitt ‘having midlife crisis' as A-lister dons four BIZARRE outfits leaving fans asking ‘wtf'
BRAD Pitt wore a series of wacky outfits at the weekend — sparking speculation he was having a mid-life fashion crisis. The 61-year-old actor, who previously stated he has no sense of style, left fans gobsmacked at his bizarre wardrobe choices. 4 He was out in New York on Saturday night with girlfriend Ines de Ramon, 29 years his junior, in an oversized blue velvet blazer with a pinstripe shirt and high-waist jeans. Earlier he was seen in cream and green cargo trousers before changing into a yellow tie-dye top and trousers to film a TV chat show. On Friday, he wore an oversized blue silk shirt and ripped velvet black trousers for a double date with Ines, fellow actor Bradley Cooper and his supermodel girlfriend Gigi Hadid. Fans of the superstar — whose new film F1 is out this month — questioned his wardrobe decisions. One asked: 'Need to know wtf is going on with Brad Pitt's wardrobe currently. Why is he wearing all that?' Another replied bluntly: 'Midlife crisis I fear.' As the photographs spread on social media, another commented: 'Need a decent stylist to help him choose clothes. Just because it's in so-called fashion doesn't mean it's nice.' However Brad has previously indicated he has little interest in wearing what is fashionable. He said: 'If I have a style, it's 'no style'. It's led by comfort. 'It's too exhausting to follow trends. And I despise billboards; I just don't want to be billboard.' Angelina Jolie is in 'goddess mode' with new beau – while Brad Pitt is 'putting on for the cameras' with his, says pro Brad, who has six children with his ex Angelina Jolie, added: 'You get older, you get crankier, and comfort becomes more important. 'I think it's as simple as that.' 4 HIS STYLE IS THE PITTS By Abby McHale, Deputy Fashion Editor CALL the fashion police — it seems Brad Pitt is having an identity crisis. The 61-year-old, voted the sexiest man alive multiple times, has stepped out in a series of questionable outfits, including head-to-toe tie dye. Is he trying to look cool for his girlfriend who's nearly half his age? Because sadly it's not working. Sometimes less is more with men's fashion. Whatever happened to a well-fitting suit, or simple jeans and a T-shirt? Brad in the 90s had plenty of that going on. Now he looks like he's raided the fancy-dress box. Maybe he needs to go to Specsavers and enlist a stylist. Men, take note of what not to wear.
