Jamie Foxx's daughters left in tears as he accepts BET's Ultimate Icon Award
Two years after Jamie Foxx spent nearly a month in an Atlanta hospital, the actor accepted the Ultimate Icon Award at the 2025 BET awards on June 9. The award, created in 2015, honors veteran artists for their significant contributions to music, dance and music videos. In addition to Foxx, Mariah Carey, Snoop Dogg and Kirk Franklin were also presented with the award. (Warning: The link below contains language some may find offensive.) During Foxx's acceptance speech, the performer grew emotional as his two daughters, Corinne Foxx and Anelise Bishop, watched from the audience. 'We used to take this saying for granted, that 'God is good,'' Foxx began before acknowledging all the love and support from his peers and his fans. 'I gotta be honest, when I saw the In Memoriam, I was like, 'Man, that could have been me,'' he continued, referencing the health scare he endured in 2023, as his daughters also grew increasingly emotional. (Warning: The link below contains language some may find offensive.) During his Netflix special, 'What Had Happened Was…,' Foxx said he was hospitalized roughly 20 days with a 'brain bleed that led to a stroke,' according to 'Today.' Foxx couldn't walk or recall what had happened from April 11, when he first began experiencing a headache to May 4, when he woke up. After undergoing rehabilitation, Foxx experienced a full recovery. 'I don't know why I went through what I went through, but I know my second chance I'm not going to turn down. I'm not going to turn down. I have so much love to give. I told Him, I said, 'Man, bro, just give me one more crack at this. And I promise.' I said, 'Whatever reason you put this on me, I promise, Imma do right, and imma do right in front of y'all,' Foxx shared. 'And I don't want to make this whole speech about that but you can't go through something like that and not testify,' Foxx continued. Foxx went on to call out each of his daughters individually, praising Corinne for getting in the driver's seat when he needed her most. 'Corinne, I cannot say enough about you. You've always taken the back seat to everything, but when you needed to drive it, you drove and you made sure I was here.' He then turned his attention to Anelise, calling her his 'baby with the big hair.' 'She hides under that hair because she got something special. You're so beautiful, man. When I was fighting for my life in there, I got to say this. They said that 'we going to lose him because his vitals is bad.' I didn't want my 14-year-old to see me like that. But my Anelise overheard the conversation, and she snuck into my hospital room with her guitar and said, 'I know what my daddy needs.' And as she played the guitar, my vitals dropped and I realized that God was in that guitar. And the nurses ran in and said, 'What did they give him?' And my daughter says, 'I got him.'' In the comment section of BET's YouTube video, fans commented on Corinne and Anelise's emotions during their father's speech. 'You can see the pain in his daughters still. So glad he won that fight,' one comment read. 'You can tell his daughters love him.' 'When he told his daughter you always took the back seat but when you needed to drive..... YOU DROVE! I fell out crying!'

Bryson DeChambeau returns to defend U.S. Open title as golf's YouTube king
OAKMONT, Pa. — Bryson DeChambeau returns to the 2025 U.S. Open as the defending champion and golf's YouTube king, at least among the pro ranks. From his 2 million YouTube fans watching him try to "Break 50" with the likes of Donald Trump, various influencers and athletes to joining Johnson Wagner as he tried to reproduce his remarkable bunker shot at 18 at Pinehurst No. 2 during Golf Channel's "Live From," people love DeChambeau's content creation. The latest example was on display at Oakmont, site of this week's 125th U.S. Open, when DeChambeau showed up for a practice round on May 31 and filmed every shot. It was riveting stuff that no other player had done before. 'He's done a heck of a job using social media channels to connect with viewers, connect with golfers, and show his true personality because I think he probably didn't do a great job of that early on in his career,' NBC's Kevin Kisner said. ESPN's Scott Van Pelt took his analysis of DeChambeau's reboot as a YouTube star – he's got nearly 3 million Instagram followers and another 2 million on TikTok, too – one step further. 'I think he's now kind of figured out where he wants to be. He's almost reinvented himself in some ways,' he said. 'He's grown as a human, it seems to me. Last year he came and sat down in the Butler Cabin with me on Thursday and Friday, and he's been sort of this — he's played very different characters in a movie. It's almost like he's been many different versions of himself. 'And when he sat and visited with me last year, I just remarked to a number of people, he just seems like a different guy. He seems more at ease with himself. I don't know if it's the tour he plays, I don't know if it's just part of growing up, which is part of all of our lives, but he seemed comfortable, entirely comfortable with himself.' DeChambeau, 31, finally is becoming comfortable in his own skin, and YouTube has helped him let his guard down, he said, 'showing the fans a side of me that was locked up for so long.' 'What's funny is as much as my guard has been let down, I feel like I'm more strategic in how I deliver things and how I give perspective on things. Before, I was pretty up front and would just say things the way I wanted to whenever I wanted to,' he explained. 'Now it's more strategic in the way I do it and deliver it because I think there's a lot of good that can come from that.' DeChambeau has said he's taken a page out of the playbook of MrBeast, whose viral content are the most-watched videos on YouTube. Asked whether any of his peers have turned to him for advice on how to launch a YouTube channel, DeChambeau highlighted Phil Mickelson. Lefty said he'd always seen what he called the playful, fun, intelligent and interesting side of DeChambeau. 'He's able to showcase that and not have who he is be filtered by a middle person,' Mickelson said. 'He controls what content he puts out there and what he wants to shoot and so forth. So his personality comes out. It's been remarkable to see the evolution of it and the way the public has responded to him because he's always been like that. It just hasn't been able to be noticed, I guess, properly.' In discussing the tips he has passed along to Mickelson, DeChambeau said he reads the comments section and tries to give the people what they want. 'We've grown our channel to over 2 million followers now and couldn't be more thankful, and it's literally by listening to the comments section, by looking at the comments and seeing what they want,' he said. Major champion. Long driver. YouTube star. A case could be made that the latter has become what drives DeChambeau. 'It's a new space. I'm learning how to become a little bit more entertaining,' he said. 'It's not just golf, golf, golf, trying to win every really what gets me up in the morning and gives me a lot of passion for this game."

Storm Reid Says This Warm Vanilla Fragrance Is Her Signature Summer Scent
Our series The One Thing is a Sparknotes version of the products, rituals, and moments your favorite celebrities and influencers swear by—their go-tos, must-haves, and can't-live-withouts. So go ahead—take a brief, intimate peek into the lives of your favorites through the things (and people, and moments) they hold time I interview Storm Reid, she's accumulated a new batch of accomplishments for us to discuss. Last year, we excitedly chatted about her taking home a Primetime Emmy Award for her work on The Last of Us and wrapping up her junior year at the University of Southern California. This year, when we hopped on Zoom at the end of May, I couldn't wait to talk to the actress about the latest happenings in her life: graduating from college and becoming a fragrance ambassador for Coach. As a self-proclaimed fragrance girl, the latter achievement is a post-graduation career move that Reid is relishing. "Coach has been a part of my life forever," she tells me. "I remember having Coach shoes and little bags growing up. So when this opportunity came about, it was an easy 'yes.' I love fragrance—one of my favorite compliments is 'You smell good'—so this partnership aligned with me perfectly." Reid's first order of business in her new role? Fronting the campaign for Coach's latest women's fragrance, Coach Gold—a bold scent featuring warm vanilla, almond blossom accord, and fruity notes. Ahead, Reid takes us through her first impressions of Coach Gold, her fragrance wardrobe through the years, and what she's currently working on in Hollywood. "I don't know if they still make it, but the Juicy Couture fragrance in the pink bottle with gold detailing was one of my first perfumes. I'm not even sure if it was bought for me or if I took it from one of my sisters. I also loved going to Bath & Body Works for their body sprays. I've always been a scent girl and have just always wanted to smell good." "Fragrance reflects how I'm feeling or how I want to take up space that day. I used to lean toward scents that were very strong and youthful. Nowadays, I prefer a clean scent and like vanilla notes. That's why I love Coach Gold. It's everything I want in a perfume: not overpowering, but long-lasting and comforting." "When Coach introduced me to the fragrance, I was obsessed. The bottle is beautiful, and it has these warm vanilla notes—it's summery and sexy." "I wore a beautiful gold dress and jacket in the campaign imagery. But if I had to style another look, I'd go with chunky gold jewelry, a crisp white tee, a black skirt with a black and gold belt, and some fire gold heels. And of course, a gold Coach purse." "Aquaphor is a must. I'm a lip gloss girl, and sometimes I'm carrying around like seven lip glosses at once, but sometimes you need a break and just want to moisturize your lips. I also keep hand lotion in my bag—dry hands in the summer are not the vibe." "I've gone through so many feelings—pride and excitement, of course, but I'm also a little terrified. I've felt like an adult for the last couple of years, but now I'm officially in the real world. But I'm taking it one day at a time. After graduation, I went to Vegas with friends and took a trip to Cabo with my mom. I'm soaking in all the good moments." "I'll be in New York in June to launch Coach Gold. It makes so much sense to do the launch there—the fragrance embodies what summer in New York feels like. After that, I'm going on my grad trip to Greece and a few other places in Europe for about two weeks. When I come back, it's time to get back to work." "My mom and I are building out projects through our production company, A Seed & Wings. Some things are moving toward production, which is exciting. I also just found out about another amazing project I'll be working on soon. I can't say much yet, but I'm excited to get back on set. That's where I feel most inspired and re-ignited."
