Bethenny Frankel Sells Greenwich Home for Huge $7.8 Million
If you've been following the chronicles of Bethenny in 2025, you might know she also recently moved to Florida. She still has her Hamptons home and city apartment, but now she's also calling the Sunshine State her home. In order to make room for a new piece of property, Bethenny decided to sell her house in Connecticut, and apparently, she got a pretty penny for the deal.
According to Greenwich Time, Bethenny's Connecticut home recently sold for $7.825 million. The 3.05-acre property, dubbed 'Applejack Farm,' features a five-bedroom, eight-bathroom house from 1743 with a guest cottage. It sounds like something out of a fairytale.
A home gym, a full bar, historic rooms, a pottery barn and more are standout features of this home fit for a Real Housewives star. Also, apparently, for a notable politician — a former Connecticut governor lived in the home for more than a decade before Bethenny. Truly, the home is the epitome of lavishness, so it's no surprise B got quite the payday for the sale. Now, we just have to make sure that Dorinda Medley never sells Blue Stone Manor because that's one New England home that needs to stay in the Bravo family.
Real Housewives of New York is available to stream on Peacock and Hayu in the UK and Ireland.

Brain rot summer
We like to see ourselves as individual free thinkers. But when a hot summer trend hits — a style, a song, or even a meme — we can't resist wearing it, blasting it, and posting it. But what about this summer? It's August — schools are reopening, football is returning — and no big trend has taken hold. Summer 2025 feels squishy, undefinable, and chaotic. This season's most anticipated movies are all franchise revivals, like "Jurassic Park," "Superman," "Lilo & Stitch," and the "Fantastic Four." Netflix just set a record for biggest opening of any in-house film: the sequel to the 1996 classic "Happy Gilmore." Where indelible songs of the summer have consistently broken through in years past — "It's Gonna Be Me" in 2000, "Gangnam Style" in 2012, "Espresso" in 2024 — this year lacks a clear winner. At this writing, "Ordinary" by YouTuber-turned-crooner Alex Warren is atop the Billboard Hot 100, a moody tune poised more for overuse as a wedding first dance than it is to be a poolside bop. The most hyped tour of the summer was Beyonce's Cowboy Carter, which promoted an album that dropped 16 months ago. "Should we be concerned that it's August in a week and so far the song of the summer is 'nothing beats a Jet2 Holiday '?" one TikToker asked, referencing the viral sound meme that uses the audio vacation ad from British company Jet2holidays. It has appeared in millions of videos to juxtapose a fun vacation melting down into disaster. Even fashion and visual aesthetic trends have come undone. 2024 was lime green Brat summer, 2023 was bubble gum pink thanks to Barbenheimer and Taylor Swift's Eras Tour, Beyonce's "Renaissance" chrome shone in 2022. As Vogue recently noted, "There is almost always one color that dominates. That said, this season seems to be the exception to the rule. There wasn't one single shade that reigned supreme." Welcome to brain rot summer. AI slop has infected TikTok, Facebook, and X, and people can't tell that even a herd of bunnies jumping on a trampoline is AI generated. The biggest monoculture moment we've seen so far was the Coldplaygate affair, a moment so cringe it cut through all our FYPs. I'm watching snippets of vacations gone wrong on TikTok and the Jet2holidays ad is living rent free in my head. The internet is piling on Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle with accusations that an ad for jeans was actually a Nazi dog whistle, and in the past few months Katy Perry has gone to space with Lauren Sánchez and Gayle King, split with Orlando Bloom, and is hanging out with Justin Trudeau, a summer romance gossip that feels like a Mad Libs concoction. It's easy to feel the absence of a universal vibe this summer, but the lack of a ubiquitous pop culture hit may be the result of a longer shift, says Joel Penney, a professor in the College of Communication and Media at Montclair State University. "There's been this huge pattern of media fragmentation that's been going on for a very long time." Because more people stream music and TV, "the catalog becomes just as important as anything new," Penney says. Sequels are safer bets for Hollywood to make, and Spotify spins up personalized playlists that feature older songs. Popular content creators with podcasts or large social media followings may seem big, but they also filter us into smaller media bubbles. The privilege of crystallizing and spreading our trends to massive audiences used to rest with late-night hosts, but their influence is waning: Stephen Colbert performed the viral "Apple" dance to go along with the "Brat" song last summer, but this summer his show is facing cancellation. There's been this huge pattern of media fragmentation that's been going on for a very long time. Joel Penney The news cycle, also popular late-night fodder, is fast paced and relentless. President Donald Trump is dominating news headlines in ways few other politicians ever have, from speculation around what's in the Jeffrey Epstein files to how tariffs will affect the economy to his posts on Sydney Sweeney. "Trump takes up all of the oxygen," Penney says. That's been true since he took office for the first time, with a report from Harvard' Shorenstein Center finding Trump was the topic of 41 percent of all news stories, tripling the coverage of past presidents. "There's just so much Trump all the time in the news that it kind of becomes pop culture," leaving little room for other pop culture moments to reach escape velocity. The big summer trends are often driven by, or at least seized by, marketers. "Barbie" had a $150 million marketing budget, more than the budget for the movie itself, and it paid off: The movie earned nearly $1.5 billion globally. If today we don't have one pop princess or color reigning supreme, maybe it's just an off year when no major, resonating work dropped just as the weather warmed up. But it could be an indication that people are growing tired of the mainstream, and weary of their social feeds being driven by algorithms over people. "The brain rot is super real," says Andrew Roth, founder and CEO of the Gen Z-focused research firm DCDX. "This summer is almost an escape from all of that, where people are going offline." DJs are turning coffee shops into spaces to vibe. Friendship and IRL dating apps are becoming popular as young people shirk traditional swiping. The hottest item to buy this summer is a Labubu; a toy made for adults whose appeal lies part in childhood nostalgia, and part in the IRL anticipation of opening a box without knowing exactly what you'll get. "Niche passions in communities are rising up to be an escape from that mainstream narrative that's everywhere," Roth says. "It doesn't feel like everyone wants to be a part of the same Barbenheimer or Brat summer experience. It's more of an individualized, spontaneous one." Maybe after two summers with blockbuster trends, we're feeling burned out and relishing in a break from monoculture. Critics and consumers alike have been feeling like the 2020s are culturally shallow for years, and attitudes about our entertainment landscape are pessimistic. A 2024 YouGov poll found people were most likely to say the 2020s has the worst TV, sporting events, radio programming, music, fashion, and movies, compared to every other decade over the past century. These opinions could be more nostalgia-driven than honest (the 2020s have spurred a deluge of water-cooler talk around highly acclaimed television series like "Severance" and "Succession"), or they could capture the growing frustration with the massive amounts of content we now have to choose from, and the age-old adage that quantity does not trump quality. Trends have shorter lives in our world where short-form video and algorithms dictate who sees what. Brat summer was maybe not just the winner of 2024, but such a massive hit that it became the exception and dragged on for so long that Charli XCX had to declare it over herself. In April, she suggested a litany of artists who could take up the torch. None have. No forced marketing campaign has led to the mass proliferation of one style, song, or movie. So how will we remember the Summer of 2025? Will it be the Astronomer affair? The coupling up of "Love Island's" Nicolandria, or the very public breakup of Elon Musk and Trump? Maybe we'll all have different memories of what defined the season and what we watched and listened to this summer — a patchwork that reflects the chaos that summer brought.

Brandi Glanville in 'Pain' After Using Nair as a 'Beauty Hack' amid Facial 'Parasite' Crisis, Sparking Online Concern
'Nair is the fountain of youth. I figured it out,' the Bravo star said in the TikTok, where users expressed concern she may have suffered a chemical burnNEED TO KNOW Brandi Glanville put Nair on her face as a "beauty hack" amid her ongoing struggle with facial disfigurement 'Nair is the fountain of youth. I figured it out,' the Bravo star said in a TikTok, but admitted she left the hair removal product on for too long TikTok users expressed concern that Glanville may have suffered a chemical burn on her faceBrandi Glanville is under fire — thanks to a 'beauty hack' of her own making. Amid The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum's ongoing struggle with facial disfigurement, she shared a TikTok on Sunday, Aug. 3, detailing a 'good' beauty treatment that led users to suspect she may have suffered a chemical burn. In the video, the Bravo star, 52, told her followers, 'Good news, you guys don't have to spend a lot of money on pills and lasers anymore, because I decided to put Nair on my face.' Glanville decided to do so, she explained, because when she has an 'exfoliated face,' it 'pisses' the parasite she believes to be living in her face 'off.' The reality star — who has long shared theories that a facial parasite is living just below her skin, causing her disfiguration — claimed that when she did the Nair treatment, the parasite moved away from where she placed it on her lower face. 'Nair is the fountain of youth. I figured it out,' she said in the TikTok. 'But I overdid it,' she added. In the caption, she elaborated, stating that she should have left the product on for less time, ''cause I'm in some pain.' "Beauty hacks (this is a good one but do a test patch)I did 7 minutes and I'm on fire sooooioko don't to 7 minutes,' the RHOBH alum wrote. She also claimed in the caption that the hair-removal product 'burned the loose skin off my arms.' Users in her comments were worried by the star's appearance after using the so-called 'hack,' however, sharing concerns that she may have suffered a chemical burn and should seek medical help. 'Chemical burn? I would go to ER,' one commenter wrote, while another warned Glanville, 'Please do NOT put Nair in your face!!' A spokesperson for Nair did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment. According to the hair removal brand's website, however, some of its products can be used on the face, but a patch test is essential first. Glanville did not specify which product she used. 'Always do a patch test before using hair removal cream, even if you've used it successfully before,' the official Nair website states. 'Body chemistry is always changing, and reactions can change with time. If the patch test is all clear, then you can go ahead and remove your unwanted facial hair with Nair™.' According to Healthline, even following instructions to a tee can't always prevent chemical burns, however. 'Nair and other depilatory creams can burn your skin, even if you use them as intended,' according to Healthline. 'The active ingredients in Nair are chemicals like calcium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. These chemicals cause the hair shaft to swell so the chemicals can enter and break down the hair. However, these chemicals may also burn or irritate the skin.' Healthline also warns that if you suffer a burn after using Nair and it 'starts to turn yellow, blister, or ooze, contact a doctor immediately, as this can be a sign of a more serious infection.' Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from juicy celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Glanville has been documenting her journey since she started getting treatment for a mystery illness that has been causing a facial disfigurement in 2023. It all began when she was diagnosed with a stress-induced angioedema, a condition that caused her face to swell up. In late 2024, she told Entertainment Tonight she believes she contracted a "parasite" from her time in Morocco while filming Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip. "We had food sitting out for hours on end, and some of it was meat," she told ET, adding that it started in July 2023, "six months" after she returned from the trip.

Dating Influencer Tells Women to Drop ‘Girl Boss' Attitudes for Men: ‘Don't Nag Them'
Margarita Nazarenko has dating advice for women — and it's a little different from what else is out there. The popular influencer, who has more than 2 million followers between TikTok and Instagram, told Fox and Friends viewers during a Monday, August 4, appearance that women need to stop applying 'girl boss' energy to dating because 'it just doesn't work the same.' 'Chasing a guy down does not get you the relationship that you want,' Nazarenko continued. Her advice intrigued the show's hosts, who asked her to elaborate. Instead of pushing a man to change by repeatedly making demands, she continued, women should 'tell him once what you don't like and then just start looking better.' Maria Georgas' Biggest 'Call Her Daddy' Revelations: From Joey Graziadei Romance to Love Life Now 'The real advice is that men respond well when you tell them once,' Nazarenko continued. 'When you don't nag them, and they will act on it if they like you enough. And women always ask me, 'What if they don't act on it?' Well, then, maybe he's not the guy for you. Because if he liked you enough, he would change.' That isn't too different from the kind of advice Nazarenko often shares via social media — which tends to get big responses from the people who follow her. 'If your man is acting in a way that you don't like, any kind of way that you don't like, and you don't know what to do about it because you've tried crying, you've tried nagging and you've tried everything else in between, I'm here to tell you what to do because the fundamental thing that you don't understand is what boundaries are,' she said in a TikTok video shared on Sunday, August 3. 'Because you think boundaries are making someone act in the way that you want them to act, taking a person and making them different, right? In reality, boundaries are what you will accept around yourself and therein lies the crux of what you don't understand,' she continued before adding that instead of telling their male partners what they can or can't do, 'all you have to do is you set a boundary of what is okay for you, not what the other person can do.' The message prompted a series of comments from her followers, including many in which someone asked for more advice. 'I would love more examples like this as well bc if ur married and u tell him this and he continues to come home late that sounds like a divorce is coming,' wrote one fan. 'I'm not in this situation but I am very intolerant of a lot of things and I'm trying to find a balance bc im getting rid of everyone at this point. The stronger my boundaries get the less people I have around me, family included.' Others, however, weren't as convinced by her perspective. 'Okay, so if you tell him don't come home because you set that boundary, and he doesn't then what? Because this is another limitation being pushed causing another issue,' another fan claimed on the same video. In a second video shared on TikTok July 28, Nazarenko insisted men will not marry a 'pick me girl' who has 'already given him everything that he will get in a marriage.' She added, 'Why sign the contract?' According to her website, Nazarenko is also the author of the book The New Rules: The Ultimate Guide to Being Her. 'Margarita Nazarenko tells it like it is when it comes to women and relationships - and women's relationships with themselves,' the book's synopsis reads. 'A qualified life coach, YouTuber and TikTok sensation, Margarita advises women not only about how to navigate relationships with men, but how to create wonderful lives with or without a relationship. Her message is straightforward: don't expect to have a great life if you're not creating it for yourself first.' Nazarenko grew up in the U.K. and has lived in Australia with her husband and their two children for 15 years, according to an August 3, report from Fox News. Reality Star of the Year Ariana Madix on Surviving Heartache, 'DWTS' and Finding Love Again She told the media outlet that when she was young she wanted to be an actress, but her current career makes a lot of sense for her because it's all about bringing people together. 'What I really wanted to do was connect to people, be on stage and have that kind of connection that I have now,' Nazarenko explained. She began coaching women in love and life after being inspired by author Tony Robbins. 'What I did was, I thought, what really appeals to me and that was expansion and self-expansion and growth like Tony Robbins and doing all that self-work,' Nazarenko explained. 'So I went and I did a life coaching diploma. From doing that, I realized that I love doing it. I started coaching women." Solve the daily Crossword
