Kelly Ripa Keeps Things PG as She Celebrates Husband Mark Consuelos' 54th Birthday
Happy birthday, Mark Consuelos!
The actor celebrated his 54th birthday on Sunday, March 30, and wife Kelly Ripa marked the occasion with a loving, sports-themed tribute — rather than a sexy or silly one the couple has become known for sharing.
"Let's wish a happy birthday to my favorite golfer @instasuelos," Ripa, 54, wrote in the caption of her tribute to her Live with Kelly and Mark cohost.
"Long may he stump us," she continued, adding an array of emojis: "🎉🎉✨✨⛳️🏌️."

Mark also got some birthday love from his daughter Lola Consuelos on his special day. (He and Ripa are also parents to sons Michael Consuelos and Joaquin Consuelos.)
"Happy birthday to my hero and the most important man in the whole entire world!" Lola, 23, wrote alongside a throwback photo of the pair on a boat. "I love you soooo much XOXOXOXOX."

Ryan Seacrest, who previously hosted Live! with Ripa before his departure in 2023 — leading to Consuelos taking over — shared a photo of the duo showing off their muscles. "Another year, another reminder that @instasuelos is aging in reverse. Happy birthday, pal. Take a day off and have some cake — you've earned it!" he wrote in his caption.
Friend Andy Cohen also celebrated the Riverdale star by posting a shirtless photo of Consuelos on his Instagram Stories with "Happiest day to @instasuelos" written across it in white font.

Mark and Ripa first met in 1995, when the Scream 7 star filmed a screen test with the Dance Party USA alum for All My Children.
After Mark was hired to play Ripa's love interest on the daytime drama, their relationship turned romantic, and less than a year into their romance, they eloped in Las Vegas in 1996. A year later, the pair welcomed their eldest child, who was followed by their other two kids in 2001 and 2003.
Back in October, Mark celebrated Ripa on her birthday with a montage of photos of her over the years, which was set to Madonna's 'I'm Addicted."
'Happy Birthday Sexy! I'm so glad you were born. What a beautiful sprint around the sun. The best is yet to come," he wrote in his caption, jokingly adding: 'P.S. I promise not to snore so much this year."

Benny Blanco Opens Up About the Possibility of Touring With Selena Gomez
Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez married their sweet romantic relationship with their passion for making music when they dropped their joint album, I Said I Love You First, in March. During a recent appearance on the Hot Hits with Nic & Loren podcast, Benny revealed whether he and his fiancée would take hits like 'Bluest Flame' and 'Cowboy' out on the road with a tour supporting the album. 'That's like my worst nightmare. Doing live shows, like, anytime I had to do SNL or like AMAs I'm always just like, 'When's it over? When's it over?' I just want to be home on my couch,' he explained. The choice could potentially tie back to Selena's health complications, as she hasn't hit the road since 2016. According to People, she had to cut her Revival short due to complications from anxiety and depression as a side effect of lupus at the time. The Rare Beauty founder also revealed the likelihood of her going on tour during an interview with TIME earlier this year. 'Nothing makes me happier than 90 minutes of being with my fans and just celebrating together,' Selena shared, admitting that she feels '50/50' about touring. 'It is very emotionally draining for me. And then you realize you're just surrounded by a bunch of people that you're paying.' I Said I Love You First marks Selena's first full-length musical project since she released Rare in 2020, and while there are no plans for the couple to tour, they have performed a slew of tracks from the record for Vevo Extended Play. The live performance video includes 'How Does It Feel to Be Forgotten,' 'Scared of Loving You,' and 'Sunset Blvd.' Get your Selena and Benny live fix below:

Man Reveals One Gen Z Shopping Habit Millennials Just Can't Cope With
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. In a viral TikTok post that has clocked more than 2.5 million views, Davide De Pierro, a 37-year-old from New Jersey, struck a generational nerve with a simple observation: younger people are far too comfortable making major purchases on their smartphones. "I just had a friend buy his plane ticket on his phone," De Pierro, who is known as @ddp8792 on TikTok, told viewers in the post from May 22. "That's a laptop purchase. "Someone back me up," he added. De Pierro told Newsweek about the viral moment and the generational divide it stems from, which many viewers have been poking fun at in the comments. "I did not create the term 'laptop purchase,' but I've seen it used … I've also seen other posts online about this," he said. The distinction between phone and laptop usage may seem like a minor point, but it is one that reveals how differently millennials and Gen Zers navigate the digital world. Millennials—defined as those born between 1981 and 1996—tend to reserve smartphones for quick tasks: scrolling through Instagram, messaging, or maybe buying a coffee. Booking an international flight? As the TikTok video jokingly summed up: that's a "laptop thing." For most Gen Zers, born between 1997 and 2012, there is no such boundary. They are just as likely to research, book, and pay for a vacation on a smartphone as they are to order lunch. This shift is part of a broader trend that has been described as the divide between the "big internet" and the "little internet." Older millennials are typically more comfortable on traditional web platforms—laptops, long-form blogs, and detailed searches—while Gen Z thrives on the streamlined, mobile-first experience of apps such as TikTok. Though De Pierro's post may not be the first that pokes fun at this generational culture clash, the traction it gained online has continued to elevate the conversation. The candid TikTok video prompted waves of discussion and humorous commentary among users who saw it as emblematic of the wider divide between millennials and Gen Z when it comes to digital behavior. "I agree," one viewer said. "The laptop purchase is a millennial thing." "As a millennial, I agree 100 percent," another added. "The anxiety I would get using phone. "This is Gen Z activities," they said. From left: Davide De Pierro speaks to his TikTok audience about "laptop purchases"; and a stock image of a traveler buying airline tickets on an Apple laptop.

One comment shared a different opinion: "I do everything from my phone. I bought a house on my phone." "I support this 100 percent big purchase=big screens, multiple tabs and multiple hours/days of research," another added. "That's for the big internet," a viewer posted. "Also a serious email can't be written from a phone," another commented. De Pierro, who works as a lawyer and previously lived in Italy for eight years, said that the idea of TikTok stardom was far from his mind until recently. "I am what my ex-girlfriend calls 'chronically offline,' so it is unlike me to have a TikTok, but she encouraged me to try one," he said. "I started really posting at the end of March 2025. "I owe this to her, for encouraging me and showing me I can do this," he added. Despite the pair breaking up afterwards, De Pierro's TikTok presence has grown rapidly over the past few months to more than 600,000 followers. He is now writing a book and hopes his unexpected platform will help him promote it once it is ready. "Until then, I'll keep trying to make relatable life scenarios funny for people," De Pierro said.

Korean Jelly Nails Are The Epitome Of Summer - Here Are 9 Of The Best Designs
Whether it's glazed skin or dewy blush, beauty's fascination with glowy finishes knows no bounds. The latest nail trend, Korean Jelly Nails, is yet further proof of this. Defined by a jewel-like, light-reflecting aesthetic and soon to supersede their glossy counterparts (think soap nails and the infamous donut-adjacent sheen), Korean Jelly Nails are the shiniest of manicures taking over right now. It's pretty easy to see their appeal for the summer months. Not only does the luminescent finish catch the light, but they offer a softer middle ground between bold 3-D nail art and minimalist soap nails. 'Korean Jelly Nails have become a major trend, encapsulating a juicy, extra-shiny aesthetic that's both playful and sophisticated,' agrees Giorgia Cappella, head of education and spa at The GelBottle. FIND OUT MORE ON ELLE COLLECTIVE First popularised in the land of K-beauty, the term 'Korean Jelly Nails' has since become all-encompassing. 'The term encompasses various Korean-inspired nail techniques and trends, such as glass nails, cat-eye nails, lip gloss nails, and syrup nails. These looks are achieved through intricate layering, sheer hues, and textures that create depth and dimension,' shares Cappella. 'Jelly Nails are a trend that feel really referential of the sheer syrup aesthetics that are so popular in Korea and Japan at the moment,' agrees Alex (known as @alexdidyournails on Instagram), a Japanese and Korean Gel Nail Artist. 'They're incredibly versatile in how they can be adapted to each client, but they're typically characterised by using semi-transparent colours that give the nails a dewy tint.' It's a manicure that works for both minimalists and maximalists. 'You can dial the sheerness up or down depending on what clients are comfortable with, but often the nail's natural features will be slightly visible, hence the glassy 'jelly' reference,' adds Alex. As to why they are becoming popular, they play on the beauty world's fascination with dewy textures, and have been gaining traction thanks to the likes of Hailey Bieber and Rihanna. 'We're seeing a lot of jelly French tips right now. This can be created using a sheer nude or pink base like The GelBottle's Kiss BIAB or Cloud BIAB with bold, translucent tips in hot pink, blue, or orange,' shares Cappella. Jelly nail stacking is another trend taking shape. 'This is when each nail is painted in a different jelly shade and is often paired with soft gradient fades or pastel neon,' she adds. Chrome, ombré and cat-eye are also starting to trickle in. 'The jelly nails can be adorned further by adding chrome or cat-eye overlays to play with depth and dimension, and adding a 3-D or textured element creates a beautiful nuance to the look,' shares Alex. 'The semi-sheer pigment to the gels used also allow them to be ombréd and marbled with ease, so beautiful coloured gradients can be achieved.' 'Jelly nails commonly see a glass colour mixed into a sheer BIAB base to create a custom shade or custom glass shades created by mixing clear bases with chosen hues,' shares Cappella. 'Korean Jelly Nails are the client's chosen finish and therefore are created through the gel polish colour applied over the chosen base.' If you are heading to your favourite nail tech, it's important to take photo references as the term can point to many different manicures. 'Asking your nail artist for syrup nails will be a good starting point, as this is referential of the syrup gel polishes that are integral to achieving this aesthetic,' shares Alex. Searching for ways to recreate the jelly shine via polish? 'Look for sheer or translucent polishes – these give that same juicy, tinted effect without needing a gel kit, You can layer a few thin coats of your chosen shade to build up the colour gradually, finishing with a super-glossy top coat to get that signature shine,' adds Cappella, warning that may not be able to achieve the same depth or dimension as gel. A manicure that says 'summer heatwave', this hot candy pink was created using Glass pink, Stunning Beam Powder and Crazy Top thick by @alexdidyournails. Whether it's teeny hearts or soft graphic lines, small embellishments are a sure-fire way to upgrade your jelly manicure. Thought typically synonymous with winter, this soft frosted detail and colour palette works a charm come summer too and plays on the 'stacking' colour trend. Moving straight onto our summer manicure mood board, these teeny stars are subtle yet pack a statement thanks to the jelly, 3-d finish and luminescent swirls. Polka dots have been making waves on the runway this season, and have fast filtered into nail art trends. Opt for all over polka dots or try juxtaposing contrasting dots on different fingers. Sitting somewhere between the viral milk trend and the glazed-donut manicure, this juicier, and shinier iteration changes colour as it catches the sun, making it a perfect pairing for the imminent heatwave. Juicy, playful and bringing next-level shine, these summer gradients created by Kkoht Nails epitomise summer holidays. The hype and fascination around glass nails (the manicure equivalent of the popular glass skin trend) shows no signs of slowing down. This glass manicure 2.0 combines both the dewy glass effect and 3-D jelly for maximum shine. Cool down in soaring temps with this ice-inspired manicure – ask your nail tech for a cat-eye effect and go for cool tones of fresh blue.
