Video: ‘Foster Fail' Owners Save Puppy's Life With Adoption After Losing Previous Dog
Owners adopt foster dog they brought home after losing previous dog in video
An Instagram user named Ben Carpenter, a 'foster fail,' touched hearts with a video about how his lost dog led to a puppy's adoption. The fitness trainer shared that he and his wife's beloved pup, Jellie, 'vanished' when they were in Europe for the London Marathon. The couple 'rushed home immediately.' They 'searched for miles, put up hundreds of flyers, went out at night with thermal vision goggles and even hired a sniffer dog.'
Carpenter noted that while they were 'heartbroken' after losing Jellie, the 'additionally hard' part was 'searching through all the other dogs that needed a home.' This is when the wife decided to sign back up as a temporary foster for pups who need adopting. Carpenter continued to share that they housed their first new dog, Hubert, last week. The 'neglected' 1-year-old puppy had a huge razor burn on his side and was also covered in ticks.
Hubert was not eating and was vomiting a lot. Carpenter said the little guy was 'so weak that he could barely get up just a couple of stairs.' However, Hubert turned into a 'totally different dog' after some days of 'care, lots of love and hand feeding him soft foods.' Carpenter continued that the pup is now 'happier, healthier, more energetic and the most loving little thing.'
The fitness trainer further shared that the couple became 'foster fails' because and decided to adopt Hubert full time as he pulled on their 'heartstrings.' Carpenter also noted that they 'don't want to replace Jellie.' He continued, 'There will always be a hole in our heart where she lived.' However, they adopted Hubert as the puppy 'desperately needed' their help.

A Timeline of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham's Messy Feud
Originally appeared on E! Online For years it seemed that Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham were, indeed, destined to go their own way. Decades after their 1976 breakup all but spelled the end for Fleetwood Mac—the rock band they formed with Mick Fleetwood, John McVie and the late Christine McVie in the early '70s—their antagonistic relationship remains every bit as famous as their chart-topping singles. Of course, more than a few of those (ahem, "Dreams," "Go Your Own Way" and "Landslide") dove into the end of their four-year romance. "I met her when I was about 16," Buckingham, now 75, explained of his girlfriend-turned-bandmate in the 2009 BBC documentary Fleetwood Mac: Don't Stop. "It's been most of my life. Sadly, for the lion's share of those years, there has been distance and animosity of some kind, mixed in with everything else, too. It's never been just one thing." Though they both left the group in the '90s, they reunited for 1997 tour The Dance, tied to the 20th anniversary of their Rumours alum, with Nicks, 77, famously directing the lyrics of her breakup track "Silver Springs" toward her ex.

"When we walk off the stage, we go to our own separate limousine and we go to our own separate hotel and we're cool. And then we do it again the next night." But time makes you bolder and now it seems the pair—who briefly performed as Buckingham Nicks before joining Fleetwood Mac—might not be 'fraid of changin'. Nicks, and then Buckingham, cryptically posted the lyrics to "Frozen Love"—their joint 1973 effort that first caught bandmate Fleetwood's eye—on Instagram in July. Weeks later, they teamed up to share a teaser video of "Don't Let Me Down Again," a track off that same eponymous studio album. And now it appears the rain has truly washed them clean, the former couple announcing Aug. 13 that they'd be releasing a remastered version of the disc this September. But while the two seem to be getting the band back together, loving each other likely isn't the right thing to do. Relive the drama of their relationship that nearly took Fleetwood Mac down.

The AI Podcast Revolution And How Steven Barlett Is Tackling It
Diary Of A CEO founder and host Steven Bartlett is diving into AI. His company, FlightStory, currently releases an AI-made podcast using his voice. Bartlett says the users know the show is AI-generated and it still has a strong retention rate, with 60% of the audience staying through the end. The AI replication scares him—but not as much as the idea of someone else doing it first. 'There's always a bulldozer coming for you,' says Bartlett. 'You have a choice to either be hit by the bulldozer or to drive the bulldozer.'

Doja Cat Reveals ‘Vie' Release Date While Speaking French in Parisian Album Trailer
Doja Cat is putting her French lessons to use, as the Grammy-winning artist revealed the release date for her upcoming Vie album. Doja posted a trailer for the project on social media on Thursday (Aug. 14), which found her leaning into cosplaying a mademoiselle while speaking French (Vie translates to Live in English).

The video finds Doja in various sophisticated outfits as she changes from Black lace to white fur and a sparkling diamond ballroom gown. One shot even finds Doja in couture in front of the Eiffel Tower during a recent trip to Paris. 'You're here?' she says while the camera pans to another version of herself. 'Of course I am,' Doja replies while taking a bite of her croissant. Fans were excited to hear a firm release date for the long-awaited album, which is Doja's first since 2023's Scarlet. 'AHH WE ARE SATTTTT,' one person wrote. While another added: 'Yesss Ms. Doja Jones!!!' Earlier this month, Doja Cat teased her upcoming 'Jealous Type' single, which will set the table for the album. The teaser came with a phone number for a Vie hotline, while callers were greeted by Doja playing the role of romance therapist. 'Jealous Type' is slated to be released on Aug. 21 at 8 p.m. ET. Doja Cat hasn't released any singles this year and has been tight-lipped about the project, but revealed in her V Magazine cover story in July that it's a 'pop-driven' effort. 'I do want to be self-aware enough to admit the fact that this is a pop-driven project,' she said at the time. 'I know that I can make pop music, and pop is just that it's popular. It starts to become a bit of a thing that's viewed as a sport by people who are just bystanders to it, who enjoy it, but maybe also don't respect it or what it is, which is just music … They see it as if this is some kind of football for girls and gays.'
