Teddi Mellencamp Crowdsources Wig Color amid Cancer Treatment: 'Two Wigs, Same Level of Exhaustion'
Amid her ongoing treatment for cancer, Teddi Mellencamp is turning to social media to crowdsource opinions about her wig options
"Two wigs, same level of exhaustion," she wrote in part
The 44-year-old's cancer diagnosis started as melanoma, which metastasized to her brain and lungsAmid her ongoing treatment for stage 4 cancer, Teddi Mellencamp is consciously seeking out the highlights – literally.
The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star took to Instagram on Tuesday, July 15, to crowdsource opinions from her 1.2 million followers about her blonde versus brunette wigs. Hundreds of supportive messages have since poured in.
"Two wigs, same level of exhaustion," she wrote beneath side-by-side selfies modeling the two options, followed up with a measure of levity: "Which color would you prefer send you a 3-minute-long voice note?"
The 44-year-old was first diagnosed with melanoma, which metastasized to her brain and lungs. In April, the mother of three shared a glimmer of positive news online, writing that the tumors had "shrunk or disappeared," with treatment.

"Last time, they had checked solely my brain, and those tumors are shrinking. And then today I had the scan, where they checked my lungs and they are shrinking and one of them has shrunk so much you can barely even see it," she said in an episode of her Two Ts In a Pod with Teddi Mellencamp and Tamra Judge podcast, adding she's set to undergo additional immunotherapy for the next two years.

For a limited time, July 17 through July 27, you can save 5% off by entering the coupon code TINS9ARTIST. Steam power meets design finesse At the heart of the FLOOR ONE S9 Artist Steam is Hyper Steam Technology, delivering a punchy 284°F high-temp blast that dissolves tough stains on contact. Combined with triple-sided edge cleaning and a 180° lay-flat design, this unit reaches under furniture and into corners most cleaners can only dream of. Even while flat, the suction stays strong thanks to smart dirty water separation. No more sacrificing performance for maneuverability. And because tangled hair should never be part of your cleanup routine, DualBlock Anti-Tangle Technology continuously rinses the brush with MHCBS (Multi-Helix Contour Brush System) and a built-in comb scraper. Translation? No more clawing clumps of hair from your roller. Just clean floors, minus the gross maintenance. Let the Floor Washer Think for You Cleaning can feel like a chore, but the FLOOR ONE S9 Artist Steam takes over the thinking. It features 3D Light that shift colors to show cleaning progress and iLoop Smart Sensor Technology that adjusts suction and water flow automatically. There's no fiddling with settings, it knows what the mess needs and reacts in real-time. Under the hood, SmoothDrive Technology inspired by automotive differential systems makes this device as nimble as it is smart. With independent torque to each wheel and a 90° swivel, you'll glide around table legs and across tight spaces like a pro.

Fast charging (just 3.5 hours) keeps downtime low, while the larger tanks (0.88L clean / 0.75L dirty) mean fewer interruptions. It's a real whole-house cleaner in a single, cordless package. A Self-Cleaning Cycle That Actually Delivers After you're done scrubbing, this floor washer keeps working. A 2-minute self-cleaning system flushes freshwater through every pipe and component, while a 5-minute FlashDry cycle uses 185°F heated air to leave every part, including the roller, sanitized and dry. You won't have to get your hands dirty, and you won't be left with a soggy machine. Smart, powerful, and refreshingly low-maintenance, the FLOOR ONE S9 Artist Steam will change the way you clean.

Josh Allen determined not to let 'Hard Knocks' cameras become distraction for Bills in training camp
During the NFL annual league meeting in April, the league changed its rule that allowed teams making the playoffs to avoid HBO's "Hard Knocks." Enter the Buffalo Bills, who will be the featured team during "Hard Knocks: Training Camp" in just a couple of weeks as teams get prepared to head to their respective facilities to gear up for the new year. It's the first time since the show debuted in 2001 that the Bills will be featured, and quarterback Josh Allen, the reigning MVP after a tremendous 2024 campaign, knows it's going to be a different feeling with cameras all around when he gets back to Buffalo. While speaking with Fox News Digital on behalf of Natrol, the drug-free sleep-aid brand he partnered with, Allen explained how he understands the excitement around watching the Bills get ready for a season. However, there is one main priority that must be above all else in terms of HBO and NFL Films cameras being around. "First and foremost, cannot let it become a distraction," Allen said. "Got to keep the main thing, the main thing, and that's trying to be the best we can be on the field. Making sure we're doing everything right, and not letting the cameras distract us. I think that's going to be a sign of a good team." But Allen also understands that "Hard Knocks" provides fans with a behind-the-scenes look at one of the most grueling sports in the world, allowing players to be humanized more, while letting their personalities shine throughout training camp battles. Now that it's a perennial playoff team that was just a few plays away from a potential Super Bowl last season, the hype and attention is even greater. "For the longest time, 'Hard Knocks' was usually reserved for, I wouldn't say bad teams, but teams that didn't make the playoffs the year before," Allen said. "I know they lifted that rule, and we're kind of the first team that's coming from the playoffs to be on it, in terms of the training camp portion of it. So, yeah, it's going to be a little different, but we got a lot of veteran leadership in the locker room and a lot of young guys who we're going to have to take on our shoulders and be like, 'Hey, this is how we're doing it.' "Again, you want to be a star and the face of this and that and the other? Let your play take care of it. Still be yourself and let your personality out. I think Coach [Sean] McDermott has been doing a great job ever since I was rookie of making sure, whoever you are, be that person all the time, right? Being as authentic as possible is one of the greatest qualities that you can have, and this is no different." Since 2019, the Bills have made the playoffs every season, yet they have not made it past the rest of their AFC foes to reach the Super Bowl despite having a talented team, especially with Allen at the helm. But with the goal remaining the same, fans will get an inside look at how McDermott, Allen and the rest of the team prepare for what is always a long journey ahead, with the final goal always being to hoist the Lombardi Trophy, which would be a first for a Buffalo squad. "You're going to see a lot of cool stories and cool personalities on our team," Allen said. BETTER SLEEP, BETTER PLAY WITH NATROL Those vivid dreams Allen has can be credited to Natrol, which he believes can give him an edge this season. "I only try to partner with brands that I fully believe in, and I think this next part of the process of my journey is unlocking that piece of my game and my life really. I do believe Natrol can help me do that," he said. Allen explained how melatonin products in previous years didn't affect his body the way he had hoped, but during a trip home from Italy last offseason, he slept 10 hours after taking Natrol, and he said he was "all in" after that. As a quarterback, being sharp and alert is a requirement all season long, no matter if it's the film room, on the practice field, or in a game. Getting a good night's rest is crucial, so whether Allen wants a melatonin product to adjust to the east coast time difference from his usual west coast stay, or a melatonin-free "Sleep & Restore" product, Natrol has everything he needs. "I do fully believe that I haven't been a great sleeper — my mind is racing. But every great performance starts with a great night's sleep, and every great night's sleep starts with Natrol. It's a great tagline we like to say, but I truly believe this can unlock another part of my game, and I can still continue to get better," he said.

Shane Gillis stirs controversy with Trump, Bill Belichick jokes during edgy ESPY Awards monologue
Comedian Shane Gillis took the stage at the ESPY Awards on Wednesday night and was firing shots at virtually anyone in the sports world with a monologue fit for a roast event. It's not uncommon to see the host start to light up the crowd with some playful jabs here and there at award shows, but Gillis' biting humor drew some jeers along with cheers inside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. One of his most-discussed jokes revolved around new North Carolina Tar Heels head football coach Bill Belichick, as Gillis made a comment about his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson. "A bookie is what Bill Belichick reads to his girlfriend before bedtime," Gillis prefaced his joke. "They read, 'Very horny caterpillar,' 'The Little Engine That Could But Needed A Pill First,' and of course, the classic, 'Good Night Boobs."" The divide in the crowd started to come when Gillis mentioned Joe Rogan with a joke about NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, but it quickly turned into something aimed at President Donald Trump. "Joe Rogan actually wanted me to be here to host this award show so that I could capture Adam Silver because Joe thinks he's an alien," Gillis said. "And Donald Trump wanted me to be here to capture Juan Soto for the same reason." Gillis didn't stop there with the Trump mentions, as he poked fun at the 47th president for recently saying he wants to stage a UFC fight at the White House. Then, it got into the current political argument around the supposed Jeffrey Epstein client list. "Donald Trump wants to stage a UFC fight on the White House lawn. The last time he staged a fight in D.C., Mike Pence almost died," Gillis said. "… Actually, there was supposed to be an Epstein joke here, but I guess it got deleted. Probably deleted itself, right? Probably never existed. Let's move on as a country and ignore that." Gillis also mentioned WNBA superstar Caitlin Clark, which didn't get the best of reactions after what he "predicted" when she retired. "She's going to work at a Waffle House so she can continue doing what she loves most, fist-fighting Black women," Gillis said to a mixed reaction. Finally, another interesting joke choice was taking a shot at the late O.J. Simpson, which was an ode to the late comedian Norm Macdonald, the host of the show in 1998. "Travis Hunter won the Heisman Trophy this year," Gillis said. "He's the first defensive player since Charles Woodson to win the Heisman. Congratulations, Travis Hunter, winning the Heisman, that's something they can never take away from you. Unless you kill your wife and a waiter, in which case, they can take that away from you." Gillis, who stars in the Netflix series "Tires," also took aim at Aaron Rodgers, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and more in what some view as off-color, while others thought it was just for laughs.
