Get a Dubai chocolate ice cream sandwich as this secret LA pop-up
The viral food of summer 2025 is coming to a secret LA pop-up August 2, and you don't want to miss it. Pop‑Tarts and B.J. Novak's cult-favorite foodie collective Chain are teaming up for a one‑day pop‑up on National Ice Cream Sandwich Day on August 2. And this isn't just Pop-Tarts celebrating its already released ice cream sandwiches. No, fans will get the chance to indulge in just 1,000 next‑level creations featuring viral flavors Strawberry Matcha and Dubai Chocolate. Earlier this summer, Pop‑Tarts officially launched three packaged ice cream sandwich flavors (Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon, Frosted Strawberry and Frosted Chocolate Fudge), inspired by what Pop-Tarts aficionados apparently make at home. Now, Pop-Tarts has tasted viral success, and they want more. Enter: the Pop-Tarts Ice Cream Sandwiches by Chain pop-up. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pop-Tarts (@poptartsus) Imagine, if you will, biting into a Frosted Strawberry Pop‑Tart sandwich that's hugging cool matcha ice cream with a swirl of bright strawberry. Or: nibbling on a decadent Frosted Chocolate Fudge Pop‑Tart filled with pistachio ice cream, topped off with crunchy toasted kataifi and rich tahini‑chocolate ribbons, riffing on the luxe Dubai chocolate craze. These are the kind of bold mashup flavors SoCal foodies (and anyone who chases viral trends) dream of. Chain, the food collective from BJ Novak and chef Tim Hollingsworth, is what happens when Hollywood nostalgia meets culinary chaos in the best way. Known for pop-ups that remix fast food and chain restaurants with fine-dining flair, Chain throws parties that feel like a fever dream from your childhood... if your childhood also had craft cocktails and a red carpet. No flavor is too kitschy or too craveable, which makes them perfect for a Pop-Tart/Dubai chocolate collab. The Pop-Tarts Ice Cream Sandwiches by Chain pop-up is free to attend, but space is limited. Fans can RSVP here or text 505-552-4246 to get the secret Los Angeles location and reserve their sandwich in advance. We might be headed into the dog days of summer, but that's all the more reason to score a sweet frozen treat. And if that comes with a side of clout, so be it.

Shop Anne Hathaway's The Devil Wears Prada 2 T-bar necklace for £80 instead of £9k
Behind the scenes snaps of Anne Hathaway on the set of The Devil Wears Prada 2 have been surfacing, and one piece of jewellery seems to be a go-to for her character The Devil Wears Prada remains one of the most iconic films of the 2000s, and now, almost 20 years after it first released in 2006, the filming for the sequel is well underway. Anne Hathaway has been spotted filming multiple scenes for The Devil Wears Prada 2, and her character Andy Sachs seems to have retained some of her stylish wardrobe from her days at Runway in the first film. Although we've already spotted her in everything from a tailored trouser suit to a patchwork Gabriele Hearst maxi dress, there's one item that's been a constant in all of her looks so far – a T-bar necklace. The simple piece of jewellery is a bespoke design from Jemma Wynne, and comes with a hefty price tag of around $9,000 thanks to its 18kt gold and diamond design. However, fans of the elegant necklace are in luck, because we tracked down a gorgeous (and much more affordable) alternative, and as a bonus, you can get it made with a bespoke design of your own. The Custom Stamped T-Bar Necklace from Abbott Lyon is priced at £79, and gives you full creative control on how you want the necklace to be finished. You can select what type of chain you want, from a dainty fine one to a chunkier style, not to mention have a name engraved across the middle with up to nine characters to play with. You can also add a glittering birthstone to each end – they don't have to be the same, you can have two different ones – to make it extra personal. The necklace is made from stainless steel with 18kt gold plating, and has an anti-tarnish protective coating to stop it from discolouring. It's also water, sweat and heat-resistant, so you can wear it all year round for any occasion. If you want an even more affordable pick, Boden's T-bar Chain Necklace is only £35, although it's recommended you remove it when applying things like perfume or beauty products, or when going in water. We also love Tilly Sveaas' Small Gold T-Bar On Belcher Chain, which is slightly pricier at £125-£140 depending on which chain length you pick, and is a favourite of Taylor Swift, who wears hers often. So far every outfit where Anne has worn her T-bar necklace has seen her pairing it with a pearl necklace in a similar length. If you want to combine the two, Abbott Lyon also has the T-bar Pearl Necklace for £59, which has less of a drop on the T-bar pendant, but swaps the traditional chain for freshwater pearls.

Youth homelessness in London 'a real crisis'
A record high of 13,231 people were recorded as sleeping rough in the capital in this year, a 10% increase on the previous year, according to recent number of people classed as living on the streets in London has increased by 27% in the last year too, according to the Combined Homelessness and Information Network (Chain).It is said to be the highest ever annual rise, equating to another 3,000 people making the streets their home. Youth homelessness is of particular concern, with 11% of those rough sleeping in the capital aged 25 and under, figures show. London Youth Hub, a pan-London youth emergency accommodation centre, said it had been able to keep most residents who had stayed there off the streets permanently - but it was struggling to keep up with demand. For one 24-year-old resident, who preferred to remain anonymous, his four-month stay at the hub has turned his life around after he had nowhere to go. Now coming to the end of his stay, the BBC caught up with him as he was on his way out to a viewing for a studio flat."Me and my mum were, constantly fighting. We had a broken relationship. So I couldn't live there anymore and I had to get out," he said."I stayed with friends for a period of time but I couldn't do that forever."Before he arrived at the hub, he was also dealing with grief from his recent father's death."I was struggling with the grieving process with my dad and they said that they could help me here with that."I found the hub via the council. I started just staying in my room but soon I made lots of friends."Now it feels good. I'm ready to take on the world and go out there and get to it and do whatever I can to stay afloat with the help I've got here. "My progression coach said I can always get in touch for support and so that's great."The hub, run by De Paul UK charity, provides psychotherapy sessions for the residents, as well as progression advisers to support them and help find long-term accommodation. 'A real crisis' "Our young people are often quite traumatised and have often been through a lot of stuff that they need to try and process so they can successfully move on with their lives," explains Luton Sinfield, the hub's manager."It's the only emergency accommodation for the whole of London dedicated to youth homelessness. "Everybody gets their own room, their own bathroom and then we work with them to help them move on. "The challenge is we haven't got enough spaces for all the people we need to accommodate, and that's really sad." Mr Sinfield added: "Part of the reason for that is the shortage of move-on accommodation is because of the housing crisis in London in terms of the general stock, places that are affordable access for young people and indeed support accommodation. That's a real crisis."We really want the government strategy to reflect this and to have a special chapter about youth homelessness because it is distinct and different and it needs a response that's credible nationally and supported by regional and local government."The total number of rough sleepers in 2025 is 63% more than 10 years government said it had increased funding for homelessness services by £233m this year, bringing its total expenditure to £1bn, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Housing added that the latest spending review protected "this record level of investment to tackle homelessness and rough sleeping beyond this financial year".

NEAR Protocol Rebounds 9% as Investors Capitalize on Market Dislocation
NEAR experienced notable price volatility over the 24-hour period ending July 24 at 15:00, with its token trading between $2.59 and $2.83. The sharp drop from $2.82 to $2.59 during early morning hours prompted high-volume trading of 7.91 million units, establishing a technical support level at the session low. This market dislocation attracted aggressive buying, which fueled a price recovery to $2.81 by the close, signaling strong interest from sophisticated investors capitalizing on discounted valuations. During the final hour of trading, NEAR sustained upward momentum, rising 2% from $2.72 to $2.79 despite profit-taking near resistance at $2.82. The session established a defined trading channel with support at $2.79, and analysts interpreted the resulting consolidation as healthy price discovery. This pattern reinforced the earlier thesis of strategic accumulation by institutions amid the day's early volatility. Concurrently, NEAR announced a strategic partnership with Everclear to build cross-chain stablecoin settlement infrastructure targeting the $1 trillion digital asset clearing market. Everclear's expansion to 23 supported blockchains and 111% quarterly growth aligns with NEAR's use of Chain Abstraction technology to support efficient, low-cost cross-chain transactions. This collaboration addresses regulatory concerns and liquidity fragmentation in the digital asset ecosystem, affirming NEAR's resilient market positioning and long-term value proposition despite recent volatility. Technical analysis Exceptional intraday volatility range of $0.24 representing 9% spread between maximum price of $2.83 and minimum of $2.59 Sharp morning decline from $2.82 to $2.59 during 05:00-06:00 trading session accompanied by elevated volume of 7.91 million units Technical support level established at $2.59 with evidence of aggressive institutional buying interest Sustained recovery momentum driving steady price appreciation to session close at $2.81 Final hour trading showing continued upward momentum with 2% gain from $2.72 to $2.79 Technical channel formation with defined support at $2.79 and resistance at $2.82 Intraday peak of $2.82 at 15:20 followed by measured profit-taking decline to $2.79 Error in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
