TV fans vow to 'never watch again' after drama makes controversial twist
Viewers have turned on The Bear as the critically acclaimed drama returned to Disney Plus for its fourth season, amid the continued presence of one particular character. As the third episode of the latest series played out, Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White) issued an apology to old flame Claire Dunlap (Molly Gordon). In this moment, the show revisited one of its more memorable episodes – Carmy being locked in the fridge during a nightmare shift at the restaurant. In scenes which first aired in Series Two, Carmy had driven away Claire (on the outside of the fridge), by ranting that his relationship with her was distracting him from his restaurant duties. It took two more seasons after that, but Carmy finally apologised to Claire for his behaviour in the fridge, albeit very clumsily. However, the decision to revisit the events of this episode has alienated some fans, many of whom have reached their limit with Carmy and Claire. Writing on X as these scenes aired, some viewers shared their dismay at the emphasis on the star-crossed lovers. 'I can't bring myself to watch season 4 of The Bear. Claire ruined the show for me,' wrote kimseokjinsday1. 'Honestly, they could've never written another word about Claire in the script of the bear and I would have been totally okay with that,' said draft_x_. 'Why is claire still on s4 of the bear like wrap it up,' begged bloodrinkcheri. 'I turned off the bear szn 4 as soon as i saw claire,' said mags_pdf. This backlash marks a continued downward trend for the once universally beloved drama – Series One of which still holds a 100% 'fresh' rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The second series, by contrast, remains nearly as highly-rated, at 99%. This was followed by a respectable 89% for Series Three, and a lower 82% for Series Four. While most still recognised it as 'the best series on television,' its detractors have called out its lack of focus and slow pacing – especially compared to the more breakneck, panic-inducing earlier seasons. 'The Bear's failure to pick up the pace in a meaningful way this season has soured things,' wrote The Ringer, while Digital Mafia Talkies described it as 'really bad.' own Sabrina Barr was more positive, praising its character progression and, in particular, an episode co-written by star Ayo Edebiri. With all ten episodes of the show now streaming, viewers have been tuning in (and out) to make up their own minds, contributing to a 70% positive audience score on the review aggregator. The complicated relationship between Carmy and Claire may have proved controversial onscreen but, behind the scenes, their chemistry is going from strength to strength. More Trending Last year, Carmy and Claire stars Jeremy and Molly were spotted in a steamy clinch on the street – seemingly confirming rumours that they had begun dating. This came in the wake of his split from Spanish singer-songwriter Rosalia, who he is believed to have dated from 2023 to 2024. View More » The Bear season 4 is available to stream on Disney Plus.

Eye-popping music videos today's kids will never understand
Music videos used to stop time. They were culture defining, career-making moments. Iconic music videos would dominate conversations in the school playgrounds, whether it was rehearsing PSY's Gangnam Style with your friends or pinning your curls with Diet Coke cans like Lady Gaga. Nowadays they drop at midnight, trend on TikTok for 24 hours, then vanish into the depths of the algorithm. So here are seven iconic music videos that kids today just wouldn't understand… You either rehearsed this iconic dance, or you weren't trying hard enough. This wasn't just a music video, it was a movement – anything Beyoncé touched became a worldwide phenomenon. TikTok trends wish they could relate to the viral choreography that turned bedrooms into dance floors. Kids today will never understand how a black-and-white leotard and a glove could shape the music industry. Gen Alpha will never experience the nine minutes of pure cinematic chaos that is the Telephone music video. This mini movie will go down in history for its plot, fashion, and dare I say is one of the best collaborations of the 2010s. This was not just a casual YouTube video drop, this was a premiere. The short-film ended with the iconic duo racing through the desert as the screen reads 'To be continued…' Update: we are still waiting girls! In true Britney fashion, this video went viral before viral was a thing. The sweat. The snake. The stage. This video was pure pop rebellion, but Miss Spears did not stop at the video and continued to rebel through her infamous 2001 VMAs performance. Slave 4 U was the epitome of how raw and unfiltered celebrities were in noughties music videos. Kids these days will never grasp the pre-Instagram video sensations – it made headlines not hashtags. Yes it became a meme, but Wrecking Ball was a huge turning point for Miley Cyrus' image. She quite literally smashed her Disney image in real time by swinging naked on a wrecking ball. The bleach blonde buzz, the nudity, the award-show performances – this music video was responsible for putting Hannah Montana 6-feet under and introducing the world to the new version of Miley. Kids today might have a giggle watching this back, but anyone who was there knows the cultural earthquake that this video caused. Katy Perry's California Gurls wasn't just a music video, it was a combination of a pure sugar rush mixed with the ultimate pop princess anthem. From laying naked, kicking her feet on a cloud to spraying whipped cream out of her iconic sparkly red bikini, kids today will never understand having this video on repeat at girly sleepovers. As if California Gurls wasn't legendary enough, Snoop Dogg also featured in it sporting a candy-covered suit. It wasn't just a song; it was a full-on mood. A sugary escapism that defined early 2010s pop and made everyone want to be a sun-kissed California girl. The Baby music video highlighted the true duality of Justin Bieber, with it being the most disliked and viewed YouTube video at the time of its release. Set in a bowling alley turned nightclub, with Ludacris rapping about his first love, it wasn't just a video, it was a global teen takeover. Justin's swept fringe and purple get-up caused teenage girls around the world to come down with Bieber fever. Baby was a cultural paradox that only the 2010s could birth…Gen Alpha could never. Only Justin Timberlake would entice everyone into MTV by releasing the ultimate early-2000s breakup anthem with the most dramatic, moody, cinematic music video to exist. More Trending The infamous video took place in a rain-soaked mansion, with an obvious Britney Spears lookalike making an appearance. We all aspire to be Justin's level of petty. Justin managed to turn his personal pain into pop gold, and everyone went crazy for it. You really had to be there. Music videos weren't just background visuals, they defined 2010s pop culture.

People left horrified as mum shares eye-watering amount she spent at Disneyland
A mother has shocked the internet by revealing how much money she spent on a trip to Disneyland. In a video posted on TikTok, Ashley Bradford (@ashleyb_ox), shares exactly what she bought with €270/£229 at Disneyland Paris. The mother first spent money on a Little Mermaid -themed bubble wand, which she explained cost €30/£25.64. Next, she spent €19/£16.24 on face painting for her daughter before buying two Disney-themed macaroons for €5/£4.27. One of the pricier items on her spending list were two burger meals and a kids meal for €49.50/£42.30. She then buys three lollies for €12/£10.26, with a Lilo & Stitch and Minnie Mouse theme, before getting another three lollies for the same price. The family purchased lots of sweet treats throughout the day, including a sweet stick €6.50/£5.56, a Mickey Mouse cookie for €3.50/£2.99, popcorn for €6.50/£5.56, candyfloss for €6/£5.13, a Mickey Mouse donut for €6.50/£5.56 and two crepes for €15/£12.82. When it comes to savoury food, Ashley and family also purchased three hot dogs, one fries, chicken nuggets and three drinks for €60/£51.28, on top of their earlier burger meals. The last buys on the family's spending list were an Ariel-themed key ring for €8.50/£7.26 and a light-up Mickey Mouse toy for €25/£21.37. But while Ashley and her family might have enjoyed their trip to Disneyland, people were pretty horrified by their high spending costs. 'Francescondon79' says: 'Why would anyone throw away their money like that'. 'Heather Simms' adds: 'The bubble wand at 30 euros had me almost choking on my own down Disney.' Another person says: 'I don't understand, this is a place for kids and they sell the things so expensive!' However, many TikTokers weren't surprised by how much the family had spent. One person says: 'I just got back from there. Spent £2,100 spending money in five days there, I have five kids. Soon adds up.' And 'Tiffany Ashworth' says: 'Is it just me that doesn't think this place is expensive?' But Ashley replied to the comment saying: 'If you think though park tickets on top of that at €200/£170 plus a day for a small family. If you've a few kids, it soon would add up.' It comes as a father who took his family of five on a day-trip to Orlando's Walt Disney World resort revealed the unexpectedly high cost of their outing. The man, from Florida, US, took to social media to break down the family's outgoings throughout the day, which later sparked a heated debate among viewers about the importance of budgeting. In a video, reposted by @financedystop on X, the father documented the price of the family's tickets, parking, meals and snacks, as well as the staggering cost of items in souvenir shops. Before the family even entered the park, the father revealed he forked out $30/£22 for all-day parking.
