Katie Holmes switched up her signature brunette hair for a lighter beachy look.
She debuted the new 'do at a party for the show Poker Face.
She wore a blue-and-white floral suit with brown suede accessories to complement her new boho hair.
The name Katie Holmes comes with a few immediate associations. You're probably thinking things like "cashmere bra," "Mary Janes," or "strong blazer game." But I bet you're also thinking "brunette." After all, Holmes has rocked her signature brunette hair for—well—as long as I can remember. Over the years, the actress has, by and large, stuck to her natural brown hue, with a brief blonde period in the early aughts.

Well, get ready for a shock, because Holmes is in her boho era—and her hair is lighter than it's been in a long, long time. Holmes debuted her lighter locks while attending a party for season 2 of the show Poker Face, in which she has a role. Her hair had some ultra light, almost blonde highlights around the face and she wore it in messy boho beachy waves courtesy of hair stylist DJ Quintero.

Holmes has been leaning into the boho trend for a few months now. In fact, for her last appearances, she's worn her hair in softer boho waves with honey brown highlights.

Poker Face season 2 will be Holmes' first on-screen role since she appeared in Rare Objects in 2023. More recently, she has turned her focus to the stage, starring in the recent Broadway revival of Our Town.
Poker Face season 2 premieres on Peacock on Thursday, May 8.

Kelly Osbourne Shares Bold Tribute to Father Ozzy After Funeral

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Kelly Osbourne has paid an emotional tribute to her father, rock legend Ozzy Osbourne, following his funeral service this week. The Context Osbourne died on July 22 at the age of 76, following his struggles with Parkinson's disease, which was diagnosed in 2019. His death came just weeks after he performed at the Black Sabbath farewell concert in Birmingham, England, on July 5. The show marked the first time the original rock band members had reunited in 20 years. Osbourne was laid to rest at his Buckinghamshire home on Thursday after a public procession through the streets of Birmingham the day before. It was attended by his family and thousands of fans. What To Know In an Instagram story, Kelly posted a photo of a massive floral display that read "OZZY F****** OSBOURNE," placed beside the lake on the grounds of the family's Buckinghamshire estate—now the rock legend's final resting place. Osbourne was laid to rest at a private service held at the 250-acre Buckinghamshire estate he and his wife, Sharon Osbourne, purchased in 1993. The intimate gathering, attended by 110 of his loved ones, included Sharon and their children Jack, Kelly, Aimee, and Louis, Ozzy's son from a previous marriage. The British newspaper The Sun said a stage was set up on the property, where friends including punk singer Yungblud paid tribute to the musician.

Jacob King/PA via AP Guests were transported from local hotels to the estate and received black invitations adorned with a cross and the message: "In loving memory of Ozzy Osbourne." The home was decorated with photographs of the heavy-metal icon, and each attendee was given a keepsake photo of him. Musicians including Ozzy's Black Sabbath bandmates, Metallica's James Hetfield, Elton John, Slipknot's Corey Taylor, Marilyn Manson, and longtime guitarist Zakk Wylde were among the mourners. Before the private ceremony, a public farewell was held in Birmingham, where Sharon and the family walked behind Ozzy's hearse as it paused at key landmarks from his life—including his childhood home on Lodge Road in Aston. Crowds lined the streets chanting "Ozzy! Ozzy! Ozzy! Oi! Oi! Oi!" as a brass band performed Black Sabbath's "Iron Man." Sharon was seen in tears as she read a tribute, flanked by her children, each of whom laid a pink flower wrapped in black paper at a memorial that declared: "Birmingham will always love you." What People Are Saying Ozzy Osbourne's family said in a statement announcing his death: "It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time." Lord Mayor of Birmingham Zafar Iqbal said: "Ozzy was more than a music legend—he was a son of Birmingham. It was important to the city that we support a fitting, dignified tribute ahead of a private family funeral." During his farewell concert on July 5, Ozzy Osbourne told over 40,000 fans: "You've no idea how I feel—thank you from the bottom of my heart." What Happens Next Prior to his death, Ozzy Osbourne announced via social media that Black Sabbath's farewell concert would be released in theaters as a movie in 2026.

States With Top 10 Best Roller Coasters Ranked by Man Who Tried Nearly 500

Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A roller coaster enthusiast who has ridden nearly 500 different coasters shared his top picks in a viral TikTok post, which has garnered 4.6 million views since July 25. Jacob, a 22-year-old theme park marketing professional who posts under the username @jacob_backall, curated a slideshow of his 30 favorite roller coasters drawn from a personal experience of trying 492 different roller coasters so far across multiple continents. The top 10 ranking features all roller coasters in the U.S., including in Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Ohio and Tennessee. "I grew up outside of Philadelphia and I recently graduated from the University of Tampa in Florida with a Bachelor's degree in advertising and public relations," Jacob, who did not share his last name, told Newsweek. "Using these acquired skills, I share my passion by working on the marketing team for one of the largest theme park chains in North America, home to dozens of world class coasters. I also take pride in updating my coaster travels through my personal socials @jacobbackall on Instagram and TikTok." Jacob is pictured here on two different roller coasters. Jacob is pictured here on two different roller coasters. @jacob_backall on TikTok and Instagram His passion for roller coasters began in 2012 with a visit to Dorney Park in Allentown, Pennsylvania. "That day I rode the Wild Mouse. Not a big coaster, but it had me hooked. It changed my life. I was so curious about the way it made its way around the track and how the systems worked to control it," he said. Jacob said his fascination grew quickly. "Ever since that one day, I've become a human encyclopedia for roller coasters, learning and memorizing the heights, speeds and stats of every roller coaster I could find on the internet, and trying to conquer as many of them as I could," he said. The first roller coaster he ever rode that went upside down was Hydra the Revenge, also at Dorney Park. "I choose to start with that one because it went upside down the most time in the park, seven times, and currently at that time held the inversion record in North America," he said. Despite his comfort with extreme rides today, Jacob recalled one that once gave him pause: "I remember Intimidator 305 (now known as Pantherian), a 305-foot roller coaster at Kings Dominion in Virginia, had me a bit frightened at first, and to be honest I think that's the only time I've ever felt nervous before trying a new ride. I must have been 9 or 10 years old around then, so I've basically become immune to all those feelings of anxiety around big drops and loops." Among the coasters in his top 30, Jacob's favorite is Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point. "My favorite roller coaster of all time, Steel Vengeance, is a 205-foot RMC hyper hybrid roller coaster located at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. Opening originally in the 1990s as Mean Streak, the old rough wooden coaster was given new life in 2018 with its transformation into arguably the greatest roller coaster of all time." The TikToker has a particular preference for RMC Hybrid roller coasters. "A hybrid roller coaster in a traditional sense is a coaster with wooden supports and twisted steel track," he explained. "When an old wooden roller coaster gets rough and no longer draws the crowds it used to, RMC, Rocky Mountain Construction, a legendary roller coaster manufacturer based out of Idaho rips off the wooden tracks, adds steel tracks to enhance the height, speed and whip factor of the coaster, thus transforming old rides into a modern beasts of an attraction." For Jacob, the best roller coasters are not necessarily the tallest or fastest. "For most true roller coaster enthusiasts, the factors that make up a truly good roller coaster aren't the height and speed; it's a creative layout with consistent pacing, having unique elements that flow into one another without rough transitions. The most important quality of a coaster for me personally is airtime, that's the feeling where you're being lifted up out of your seat and feel multiple times lighter as the forces of gravity weaken on you." Now at 492 different roller coasters and counting—with over 5,000 total rides including re-rides—Jacob is just eight coasters away from a major milestone. "With eight more coasters I haven't ridden yet left to go before I hit 500, I'm sure by the end of the year I'll finally meet that goal. Then it's on to 1,000." Along the way, Jacob said the community of fellow enthusiasts has been a rewarding part of the experience. "I have made many great friends over the years through my travels and you'd be surprised how many others there are with my same unique hobby," he said.

Kim Cattrall, who played Jones, the sex-positive public relations boss in 'Sex and the City' for decades, has seemingly responded to the news that its HBO spinoff 'And Just Like That' is ending after three seasons. The closure of the reboot marks the end of 'Sex and the City' after 27 years.

Although she did not join her original co-stars Parker (Carrie Bradshaw), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda Hobbes) and Kristin Davis (Charlotte York) for the reboot following an alleged feud with Parker, Cattrall did make a brief solo appearance at the end of Season 2. Her absence was felt by fans everywhere and was a huge miss for the series. Advertisement 12 Kim Cattrall during Paris Fashion Week on March 5, 2025, in Paris, France.

'I will miss working with these people everyday SO incredibly much but know we will always be a part of each other's lives.' The spinoff's showrunner, meanwhile, insisted that the show wasn't canceled.

AndJustLikeThat/X 'And just like that… the ongoing storytelling of the' Sex And The City' universe is coming to an end,' he said. 'While I was writing the last episode of 'And Just Like That…' season 3, it became clear to me that this might be a wonderful place to stop.' But canceled or not, the reboot's ratings had been steadily dropping from season to season. Advertisement Plus, some critics claimed that the show had become 'insufferably woke' – particularly with Miranda's non-binary love interest, Che Diaz (Sara Ramirez). 'Che seems like they are a manifestation of… an irritating Twitter account come to life,' one viewer told The Post after the first season aired. 12 Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kristin Davis and Kim Cattrall during the beginning of 'Sex and the City.'

Comedian Bobby Lee, who played the role of Jackie Nee in the first two seasons, also claimed last month that the spinoff suffered from 'woke elements.' 'Some of the woke elements of the show, they got rid of, and I think I was a part of that,' he said. However, insiders speculated that the series was most likely cut because it was simply becoming too expensive.
