Month: July 2019

Are Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul really pulling fans’ legs? Or are they actually teasing that the follow-up movie supposedly featuring Paul’s Jesse Pinkman, code-named Greenbriar (or Greenbrier, whatever) is on its way?

For anyone impatient for the return of prequel Better Call Saul and anxious to jump back into Vince Gilligan’s dark and sometimes absurd version of the Albuquerque drug underground, mysterious twin social media posts on both actors’ accounts have come across like a promise. The latest are below.

So it’s the same photo of Cranston and Paul, a pic that appears recent and not from the time of the show, which ended its run in 2013, and the words “Even sooner.”

That’s after they posted these tweets, which started all the anticipation.

Do they mean that Cranston’s Walter White will be in Greenbriar, and that the movie will be in the can and ready to stream on Netflix sooner than later? That perhaps he survived? 

One of the least popular characters on Bad was Walter White’s wife, Skyler, played by Anna Gunn. She was actually one of the only rational voices much of the time, but fans treated her like she was spoiling all the lawbreaking fun. 

While Skyler was much more complicated than that, Gunn herself may have provided the spoiler that makes Cranston’s and Paul’s hinting a little less exciting.

Via Digital Spy, we learned that Gunn was asked about the “Soon” tweets on BBC’s The One Show. 

Gunn said, “I believe it is a nod to a mezcal tequila that they are bringing out, the two of them, called Dos Hombres.” 

“Bryan [Cranston] was going to have a launch party on Cinco de Mayo last month,” Gunn continued, “and he promised that there were going to be donkeys there. I got very, very excited about that and said I’d bring my kids and then [it didn’t happen].”

So there she goes. Skyler did it again. While Gunn did confirm the movie was happening, she also shot all the excitement around these social posts in the foot, big time.

It’s just about tequila. 

Wait, what are we saying? Let’s cut Gunn some slack. She solved a mystery, and tequila is freaking awesome.

We get it. You’re hot, you’re sweaty, and you’re just trying to get through the day without your makeup melting off. Maybe looking stylish isn’t really at the top of your mind right now—and we don’t blame you. But thanks to a question on Vogue‘s “Go Ask Anna” video series, we know the simple essential that Anna Wintour approves of for staying chic on the sweatiest of summer days: sleeveless dresses. How could it be any easier than that?

In the video, Wintour was also asked if she ever wears sweatpants, to which she simply answered a firm no. Wintour also confessed that one thing has ruined her love of shopping: fans thrusting their phones in her face asking for selfies. “Shopping, which is something I used to love, has been slightly ruined for me by people wanting to take selfies,” she says in the video. It’s certainly understandable, but we’re not sure we’d be able to resist the urge either.

Anyone planning to enjoy Fourth of July festivities on the coastal Massachusetts hotspot of Cape Cod may want to reconsider.

It’s not just the awful lines of traffic backing up across the Sagamore Bridge in 80-degree temps that should give you pause: A whopping 11 great white sharks were spotted by the Atlantic White Shark Conservancy research team in one day earlier this week on Cape Cod Bay, the Boston Herald reports. 

Researcher Greg Skomal even managed to tag two of the apex predators—a 9-footer and a 10-footer. 

If this sounds like the prelude to another Jaws sequel or even a reboot, there’s a good reason. 

Though Steven Spielberg’s original tale of a monstrous, man-eating great white was set in the fictional New York resort town of Amity, Long Island, filming took place on Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. Cape Cod is just 50 miles north and east of there.  

As for the real-life infestation, marine biologists believe it is directly related to an abundance of gray seals.

The species’ population has exploded since gaining protection under the Endangered Species Act, but that legislation obviously doesn’t apply to hungry great whites.  

“We think it really is as simple as a larger number of seals,” Skomal said per CBS News. “More sharks coming closer to shore to feed on the seals.” 

The Boston Herald quoted Tom King, a shark expert from Scituate, Mass., who said the booming great white numbers  are “the new normal now.”

“For generations, everyone’s gone down to the beach and frolicked around in the salt water, going in and out of the water without any concerns,” King said, “There were no sharks here. Now, we have company.”

While great white attacks on humans are generally rare, Cape Cod did see its first fatality since 1932 just last year. 

Beach-goers can keep themselves out of danger by staying away from seals or schools of fish and swimming in groups, according to Ryan Wright, acting chief ranger for Cape Cod National Seashore.

Alternatively, they could just celebrate Independence Day somewhere else.

With Fourth of July just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about how you’ll be showing your pride for the United States of America. Sure, you could always wear a cool, red, white, and blue ensemble. Or you could wear a classic cherry red lip, but if you want to get more creative, you could always show your patriotism through a set of chic nails.

As with any festive holiday, there comes a massive number of cool nail art ideas. That said, it can also be overwhelming to scroll through a virtually endless amount of photos to find the exact way you want to sport your nails. Luckily, we did the hard work for you.

Levi’s has brought us a lot of It jeans over the years (the 501, Wedgie, and Ribcage styles, to name a few). The brand has been setting denim trends since 1873, the year Levi Strauss and Jacob Davis literally invented jeans, and now the brand is making its own version of 2019’s biggest denim trend: loose-fit jeans. Fittingly coined Dad Jeans, Levi’s newest $98 style comes in a light and a medium wash (both equally perfect and versatile) and are made of the softest 100% cotton denim imaginable. 

What sets dad jeans apart from the enduringly popular mom jeans is that they offer a looser, less-tapered leg and the rise is more slouchy and relaxed and less high-waisted and hip-hugging. Plus, the inseam is usually a bit longer than that of mom jeans. (For a visual, see our editor in chief Kat Collings modeling them before they were even released.)

All in all, it’s a very 2019 look, and I’m so confident that Levi’s affordable new Dad Jeans are going to be the next It jeans that I ordered them from Shopbop immediately (in the Joe Cool wash), despite the fact that it’s 100 degrees outside at the moment. With that, scroll on to shop Levi’s Dad Jeans for yourself (and see how they look IRL) as well as other past Levi’s It jeans from over the years.
