Where is Mark Consuelos? Carson Kressley Joins Kelly Ripa as Guest Host on ‘Live'
Mark Consuelos was absent from Thursday's Live with Kelly and Mark, where Kelly Ripa led the show alongside Kressley. The two welcomed Moulin Rouge star Taye Diggs and The Doobie Brothers. Today's episode marked the third day in a row of guest hosts following Jerry O'Connell on Tuesday (July 29) and World News Tonight anchor David Muir on Wednesday (July 30).
As for where Consuelos has been this week, Ripa told Live on Tuesday that her husband is 'working on a show out in LA.'
This isn't Kressley's first time at the co-host desk with Ripa. In fact, he and Ripa recalled visiting Prince Edward Island on a remote for Live, prompting Ripa to point out how Kressley has actually been on 'a lot of' the show's remotes.
Kressley added, 'I have, we were on a cruise ship once in Boston. We went to, like, Bermuda or something. I mean, this is 20 years of traveling. And then Prince Edward Island, and then Hawaii.'
The two remembered swimming with turtles and going on a catamaran while at Hawaii's Aulani Resort, or as Kressley teased, 'We did everything The Brady Bunch did, except we didn't find that tiki.'
Ripa quipped, 'Right, we weren't cursed.'
Kressley agreed, 'It was for the best. Because nothing but bad things happened after that.'
Of course, Ripa and Kressley were referring to the family sitcom's Season 4 episode, 'The Tiki Cave,' where Bobby (Mike Lookinland) finds a tiki idol, and although he is warned of its bad luck, he decides to hold onto it.
Ripa teased that The Brady is a show that influenced her outlook on travel as a child.
'My whole frame of reference for travel as a kid,' she explained, 'I don't know if you were like me. We were not a traveling family. So my entire frame of reference was The Brady Bunch when they traveled. Or Fantasy Island. Or The Love Boat. That was how we traveled.'
Kressley teased of The Love Boat, 'That's how I discovered Puerto Vallarta. Was through The Love Boat.'

Airline Stocks Take Flight, Rising Above Cloudy Early-Year Outlooks
Airline-stock investors endured a bumpy ride to start the year. Things are a bit smoother now. Shares of United Airlines (UAL), Delta Air Lines (DAL), American Airlines Group (AAL), Alaska Air Group (ALK), and JetBlue Airways (JBLU) all soared on Tuesday. The US Global Jets exchange-traded fund (JETS) also climbed, and is now roughly flat year-to-date after declining through the spring. The July consumer price report released early Tuesday helped carriers stick the landing. It showed airfares rose 4% in last month, breaking a streak of declines. Jet fuel prices, meanwhile, have fallen to start August. Trade tensions, declining consumer confidence, weather conditions, and general uncertainty were cited as headwinds for the airline industry earlier in the year; the International Air Transport Association in June, trimmed its annual net profit estimate for the sector. The industry outlook now looks more stable, with carriers having mostly restored their earnings guidance after pulling the forecasts earlier this year. There are outliers in the group. Spirit Airlines (FLYY), which emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy in March, on Monday said that the company continues to be affected by "adverse market conditions," including weak domestic leisure travel in the second quarter and a "challenging" price environment, according to a company filing. Spirit Airlines' management also issued a "going concern" warning in the filing, saying they had "substantial doubt" in the airline's ability to continue operating within the next 12 months. Its stock was down 40% on Tuesday. Read the original article on Investopedia

What does it take to get a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes? I watched 'War of the Worlds' to find out.
Ice Cube stars in a modern adaptation of the alien invasion story, which the internet turned into a meme. I wasn't planning on watching the straight-to-Prime-Video remake of War of the Worlds set entirely on the computer screen of a government security analyst until I saw footage of Ice Cube screaming at a young man via video call as he shakily records an alien invasion. It's so bad, it demands to be seen. The new movie, released July 30, debuted with a rare 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, meaning that it had been panned by all of the critics who took the time to watch and review it. (It has since been elevated to 3% as of press time, thanks to a contrarian review from Entertainment Weekly.) Scoring in the single digits for any amount of time is not an easy feat on the review aggregation website, which considers critics of varying levels of prestige in its 'Tomatometer' scores. Without such widespread disdain, 2025's War of the Worlds might have been forgotten — slipping into the depths of Prime Video's expansive catalogue. Instead, it became a lightning rod on social media. There's something magical about a movie that tried to be good and ended up being bad in so many ways that thousands of people still took the time to investigate the extent of its failure. I myself was intrigued by the widespread condemnation of what seemed to be a real movie with a budget and familiar actors — surely, it can't be that bad! — so, for 89 unhinged minutes, I sat down on my couch and watched it for myself. So, what happens in this movie? Ice Cube stars as William Radford, a grizzly 'domestic terror analyst' who spends his days stalking his pregnant biologist daughter Faith (Iman Benson) and underperforming video game streamer son Dave (Henry Hunter Hall). As an employee of the Department of Homeland Security, he has access to seemingly every camera and technology in the Washington, D.C., area — he hacks his daughter's fridge to monitor what she consumes (too much soy milk, apparently) and frequently right-clicks on flashing targets on his computer to select a menu option that says 'Comandeer Drone.' Luckily, William was just starting his workday as aliens invaded, though he frequently declines calls from 'Sandra NASA' (Eva Longoria) and ignores Microsoft Teams messages from his DHS boss (Clark Gregg) in favor of yelling at his son for buying new video games and hacking his daughter's computer to see what her baby daddy Mark (Devon Bostick), an Amazon delivery driver, is telling her about their upcoming shower that William is not invited to. I know that the goal of this movie is to show how, in 2025, the response to an alien invasion would be mostly online. Unlike the 2005 film adaptation starring Tom Cruise and Dakota Fanning, we wouldn't be fighting invaders on the ground as much as we'd be watching clips of the chaos unfold on X and Instagram. I did wonder, though, how aliens who initiated their invasion of Earth by blowing up NASA satellites so they couldn't be surveilled and immediately began destroying data centers as soon as they landed left our internet intact. The world may be ending as we know it, but because Microsoft Teams and Google Sheets were still operating, some people still had to work. Ridiculous alien movie logic aside, the fact that 2025's War of the Worlds anticipates that the apocalypse will be somewhat mundane feels appropriate for our dystopian times. Unfortunately for this movie, any new take War of the Worlds — and there have been dozens since H.G. Wells' original novel was published in 1898 — would have to stand in the shadow of the most interesting adaptation: the 1938 radio drama that sparked nationwide hysteria after being misinterpreted as a real broadcast of an invasion. By standing out — though it's for being absurd, poorly acted and ridiculously edited — the 2025 version has accomplished something amazing. Is it actually bad? While watching the film, I made a list of the dialogue and plot points that made me laugh out loud. Here are a few: So bad it's good My list only scratches the surface of the chaos. To take a moment to jot down something that made me laugh meant tearing my eyes away from the screen, where ridiculous things were happening in such rapid succession that even three seconds of dwindling attention meant I might miss an editing failure or a bizarrely worded Teams message. Even though I was on my couch reading posts about it online, my viewing experience was less like watching a movie and more like attending an event. I'm grateful for the social media dogpile that inspired me to watch War of the Worlds in the first place, but because of the way social platforms seem to reward negative opinions, scoring a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes might not be a rare feat for much longer. Dan Green, director of the Master of Entertainment Industry Management program at Carnegie Mellon University, tells Yahoo that the collective panning of the film reveals how audience review websites like Rotten Tomatoes 'have been transformed into a competitive exercise in disdain, reflecting a gamified culture of online critique.' In other words, watching movies and making fun of them on social media and review sites now feels like a community activity. For a moment, people were so united by the intrigue of a 0% score that War of the Worlds reached the No. 2 spot on Prime Video's U.S. movie rankings. It's now part of Rotten Tomatoes' unofficial Hall of Shame, among the few dozen widely reviewed and panned films of all time, like 2018's Gotti starring John Travolta and 2014's Left Behind starring Nicolas Cage. After the fun I had watching this one, I think I'll make my way through the list. Solve the daily Crossword

People Seriously Doubted Wife After She 'Bathed' Husband's Office In Red Paint but the End Results Speak For Themselves
People Seriously Doubted Wife After She 'Bathed' Husband's Office In Red Paint but the End Results Speak For Themselves originally appeared on Parade Home & Garden. There are some colors people naturally recoil from. Whether that is pastel or neon, it comes down to the person. But let it be known that a true interior designer can take anything and run with it. And that is just what DIYer Asley Tate @smashingdiy did when her husband challenged her to make over his office in her least favorite color, red. At first, people were horrified when she started painting every all, including the ceiling, a crimson, blood red. They began changing their tune however once they saw the many paint and design elements she used to tie the room together. By the end of the video, they were slack-jawed at her accomplishment."I'm so sorry for doubting you it came together out of nowhere," noted one follower. "I hope you do this for a living because that was phenomenal," raved another. The transformation serves as a lesson in coordination. While red is a gorgeously vibrant color, it can be overpowering on its own. It needs to be paired with strong design elements, smart details and curated accents to make the color look more intentional and less Seriously Doubted Wife After She 'Bathed' Husband's Office In Red Paint but the End Results Speak For Themselves first appeared on Parade Home & Garden on Aug 12, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade Home & Garden on Aug 12, 2025, where it first appeared.
