With the NFL season, a ‘Celebrity Jeopardy!’ championship run, and a gig hosting the Spelling Bee behind her, Mina Kimes is ready to unwind this summer. Here’s what she’ll be listening to, reading, and watching.- NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani lumped Taylor Swift’s alleged July 3 wedding in with other big events happening in the city this summer, though he said he hasn’t scored an invite and isn’t planning to go.
- After Jason Mantzoukas became a fan favorite in 2025, ‘American actor who crosses the pond to curry Greg Davies’s favor’ is becoming its own ‘Taskmaster’ contestant contingent. After Kumail Nanjiani’s middling run in season 21, maybe it shouldn’t.
- Jon Bon Jovi’s voice will make it, he swears. Weeks before Bon Jovi is set to stage a series of high-profile gigs at Madison Square Garden, the musician insists he’s ‘fully recovered’ from his vocal issues.
- International soccer fans are in North America for the FIFA World Cup, and for those attending games in the United States, they’re embracing American culture. Buc-ee’s and all.
- Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO are getting divorced after ten years of marriage. They made it through addiction, an affair, and Jelly Roll getting famous. What happened?
- After a lore-dump-heavy season finale, it’s only natural to reflect on the mysteries about this cursed island we’re one step closer to understanding, as well as the lingering questions hanging over the second season.
- Dennis (Murray Bartlett) learns the valuable lesson of not messing with soccer moms a little too late.
- Kurt Andersen recalls his first media job working for Gene Shalit, the ‘Today’ show’s goofball movie critic who recently died at 100.

Had a nice chat with Chiki Uno, the star of the Josh Safdie Nike ad that ran after the Knicks won. This happened while we were on the call.
- ‘With season one, we built a self-contained universe that can hold a lot of stories,’ says ‘Widow’s Bay’ director and EP Hiro Murai. ‘I don’t know exactly where it goes from here, but I’m excited about all the toys we’ve put in the sandbox.’
- There are no guarantees, in life or on hellmouth islands. Still, as second seasons go, ‘Widow’s Bay’ is better positioned to survive the challenging next phase than many of the other shows in its Apple TV cohort.
