99-Year-Old David Attenborough Returns with Documentary on 'Why Our Ocean Is in Such Poor Health' (Exclusive)
David Attenborough wants to help the world's oceans return to their full, majestic glory. To help him achieve this goal, the renowned naturalist and broadcaster, 99, created a new documentary with National Geographic titled Ocean with David Attenborough, which premieres on June 7, the day before World Ocean Day. "My lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery. Over the last hundred years, scientists and explorers have revealed remarkable new species, epic migrations, and dazzling, complex ecosystems beyond anything I could have imagined as a young man. In this film, we share some of those wonderful discoveries, uncover why our ocean is in such poor health, and, perhaps most importantly, show how it can be restored to health," Attenborough said in a statement about the documentary obtained by PEOPLE. According to National Geographic, the upcoming documentary took two years to film and features stunning cinematography focusing on the plight and power of the world's oceans and the countless creatures they support. The film promises to provide never-before-seen footage of the toll human activity has taken on ocean habitats and the inspiring stories of how animal lovers can help reverse these effects. PEOPLE has an exclusive first look at the documentary. In the sneak peek clip, an array of ocean animals traverse great distances in search of food, including travelling to seamounts — underwater mountains up to three miles high. Attenborough provides his celebrated narration skills to Ocean, including in the clip, where he tells viewers, "Now, a new, far more connected picture is emerging of the big blue." In the footage, sharks, whales, fish, and dolphins traverse great expanses of empty blue water, or at least it seems empty to the human eye. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "We have only just learned how these voyagers find their way out here, steering along the twist and turns of particular currents," Attenborough narrates in the clip, adding that many of the world's sea creatures manage to make sense of vast oceans to travel to the "few precious places" where food often abounds. The importance of seamounts as "pit stops" for the world's marine animals is one of many newer discoveries explored in Ocean, where viewers can also expect to catch footage of the largest yellowfin tuna school ever captured on film. Ocean with David Attenborough premieres June 7 on National Geographic and will be available to stream on Hulu on Disney+ on June 8, World Ocean Day. Read the original article on People

What happened on ‘Love Island USA' last night? What you missed from the season 7 premiere
Just got a text... "Love Island USA" is officially back for a seventh season, with the premiere hitting NBC's streaming platform Peacock last night, Tuesday, June 3. And this season brings a group of Floridians looking for love, or at least "like," in Fiji. Although the episode was posted 44 minutes late, the premiere started off strong, with plenty of lip-locking, couple drama and even two bombshells entering the villa on the first night. Here's what you missed on the first episode of "Love Island USA" season seven, who coupled up, which cast members are from Florida and how to watch the second episode tonight, Wednesday, June 4. 'Love Island USA' returns: Here's how to watch, stream the season 7 premiere This season hit the ground running. Instead of "coupling up" based on looks and first impressions, the ladies made their choice of who to "couple up" with after choosing two guys to make out with first. Host (and Floridian) Ariana Madix explained these couples will not only be living together but will take part in challenges and share a bed, emphasizing the importance of chemistry. However, the couples that formed on last night's episode most likely won't remain partnered up for the entire six weeks. Anyone has the chance to steal or couple up with other people's partners throughout the show. There are five couples in total, including one with two Floridians: Watch 'Love Island USA' on Peacock This new season features four Floridian bombshells in the villa: Austin Shepard, 26, Northville, Michigan (Living in Fort Lauderdale) Chelley Bissainthe, 27, from Orlando Nicolas Vansteenberghe, 24, from Jacksonville Yulissa Escobar, 27, from Miami Ace Greene, 25, Los Angeles Austin Shepard, 26, Northville, Michigan Belle-A Walker, 22, Honolulu Chelley Bissainthe, 27, Orlando Huda Mustafa, 24, Raleigh, North Carolina Jeremiah Brown, 25, Los Angeles Nicolas Vansteenberghe, 24, Jacksonville Olandria Carthen, 27, Decatur, Alabama Taylor Williams, 24, Oklahoma City Yulissa Escobar, 27, Miami The premiere episode featured some steamy make-outs, brand-new twists and the beginnings of major drama. Here's a quick recap of how the Floridians did on last night's episode: Austin's first moments in the villa weren't too positive, as he was not chosen by any of the women during the couple shuffle and was coupled up with fellow Floridian Chelley, after her partner was stolen. The Fort Lauderdale pool technician joked around about Chelley not initially choosing him after they kissed. He did admit that if it was his choice, he would've made out with Chelley and Belle-A. Stealing her for a chat, Austin admitted he was very interested in Chelley. They discussed their expectations and what they were looking for in a partner. Later in the evening, the pair discussed living in Florida and all of the critters that call the state home. During the final challenge of the episode, Austin did not kiss anyone. But he did receive a kiss from new bombshell Cierra Ortega. Not only was Chelley the first to arrive at the villa but she was also the first to choose which man she wanted to couple up with. But her first pick, Ace, was stolen by fellow Floridian Yulissa. Earlier in the episode, she shared she had already met Ace back in January outside of a club. After she was coupled up with Austin, she said in a confessional that he was attractive, but stressed that it was only day one and she was keeping her options open. The following day, she shared that Ace was at the top of her list. Chelley and Ace ended up chatting about their initial meeting and their attraction to one another. They both seemed open to exploring their relationship more, despite not being coupled up currently. During the final challenge of the episode, Chelley kissed Ace and received a kiss from Ace, as well as from a new bombshell in the villa: George Georgiou. After Nicolas was coupled up with Belle-A, they discussed her boundaries and why she opted for a kiss on the cheek rather than a make-out session. While she is a frontrunner for Nicolas, he said he would still try to mingle with the other ladies. The following morning, he told Ace that him and Belle-A got more comfortable over the night. But he added that he also wanted to get to know Olandria, after they shared a kiss. During the final challenge of the episode, Nicolas kissed Olandria. He also received a kiss from new bombshell Cierra Ortega. Yulissa ruffled some feathers after she stole Chelley's partner, Ace, during the couple shuffle. However, the two seemed to hit it off afterward when discussing their heritages and families. In a catch-up with the ladies later, she said she wasn't trying to be messy and felt she had to "do what (she has) to do." The following day, she said she felt nervous around Ace but was ready to step outside her comfort zone. During the final challenge of the episode, Yulissa did not kiss anyone else but received a kiss from new bombshell George Georgiou. You can watch 'Love Island USA' live on Bravo and Peacock every day except for Wednesdays. However, there will still be an episode tonight, Wednesday, June 4, since it's premiere week. You can stream new episodes the night they air on Peacock. A premium monthly plan costs $7.99 or $79.99 for one year.
