Amazon Cuts Shared Benefits for Prime Accounts (2025)

Sydney Sweeney, 27, and record executive Scooter Braun, 44, are reportedly dating. According to TMZ, the two are seeing each other “casually.” Braun and Sweeney were first seen strolling the streets of Venice together for the lavish Jeff Bezos-Lauren Sanchez wedding ceremonies in late June. They have reportedly seen each other multiple times since then, although it is unclear when the relationship became romantic. Sweeney was previously engaged to her boyfriend of seven years, film producer Jonathan Davino, 42, before they broke off their engagement in January. Braun was married to Yael Cohen, 38, for seven years, with whom he shares three children, before they split in 2021. Last year, Braun was rumored to be dating actress Rachelle Goulding, 39. Sweeney has recently made headlines for becoming a MAGA darling following the blowback from her American Eagle ad campaign. Braun is best known for discovering Justin Bieber and feuding with Taylor Swift after he bought her entire discography. The Daily Beast has reached out to representatives for Braun and Sweeney.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un appeared in Beijing along with his daughter and likely heir, Kim Ju Ae. The pair arrived in the Chinese capital on Tuesday to attend Wednesday’s “Victory Day” Parade, marking the 80th anniversary of Japan’s surrender in World War II, alongside China’s Xi Jinping and Russia’s Vladimir Putin. According to the Korean Central News Agency, North Korea’s state-run news outlet, Kim was greeted in a “warm atmosphere” and thanked Xi for the “enthusiastic and cordial hospitality.” Kim Ju Ae publicly made her debut back in November 2022 and is “most likely” to succeed her father, according to reports from South Korea’s National Intelligence Service (NIS). Little is known about the supreme leader’s child; according to NIS, Kim Ju Ae is thought to be the dictator’s second oldest child and is about 12 years old, with rumors of an older boy and an unconfirmed report of a third child with no specified gender. Kim Ju Ae’s presence in Beijing has fueled yet more succession rumors, with experts speculating that Kim Jong Un is grooming his daughter to take over the regime, a pattern that has been observed with former generations of North Korean leaders.

Real Housewives of Potomac star Karen Huger has been freed after serving six months in prison for a DUI, Page Six reported Tuesday. A Montgomery County Detention Center spokesperson confirmed her release to the outlet. The reality star had originally been sentenced to two years in prison with one year suspended, along with paying $2,900 in fines. According to Fox45, sources cited good behavior as the reason for Huger’s early release. The 62-year-old television personality was charged with driving while intoxicated after totaling her Maserati in a high-speed crash in March 2024. She was found guilty in December that year, and according to police body cam footage, the star was visibly inebriated and even admitted to being drunk. Huger, who earned the nickname “Grande Dame” on the show, spoke about the body cam footage in an RHOP episode from March this year, saying she “didn’t recognize that woman” from the footage. “I’m sitting there in the courtroom, like, I have to finally watch it, because I kept saying, ‘Well, surely they made a mistake, right, because everything’s not connecting for me,’” she said while talking to her husband, Ray Huger.

First, they came for shared passwords on Netflix. Now, Amazon is rolling back allowing Prime account holders to share free delivery benefits with people who don’t live in the same house as them. The changes take effect as of October 1, meaning anyone currently enjoying the perk on a relative or friend’s dime will soon find themselves invited to sign up for Prime themselves if they want to hold on to the privilege—initially, at a discounted $14.99 rate annually, before cranking up to the same amount every month after the first year. The e-commerce and streaming behemoth says it’ll continue allowing users to share free shipping perks with their nearest and dearest under its existing “Amazon Family” program, provided you all live under the same roof. It follows after the tech giant apparently failed to meet its new subscriber targets during Prime Day, a four day extended deal period that fell earlier in July, though the company’s reportedly said it did see record-breaking sign-ups, just in the days on either side of the event itself.

Sure, wrinkles, texture, and loss of elasticity are all normal and beautiful parts of the human experience. Still, some of us may prefer to delay those natural signs of aging with skincare and cosmetic treatments. If you want to avoid injectables and in-office aesthetic treatments like lasers and microneedling, investing in a solid skincare routine that includes the essentials (cleanser, toner, vitamin C serums, and a retinoid) can be supercharged by incorporating a liquid peptide serum like the Medik8 Liquid Peptides 30% Complex Hydrating Peptide Serum.

The UK-based clinical-level skincare brand is loved by celebrities with seriously enviable skin, including Hailey Bieber and Victoria Beckham, but that’s not the only reason we love this firming and line-softening serum.

The Liquid Peptides serum contains multiple types of peptides and skin-boosting ingredients to target multiple signs of aging—including peptides that specifically target expression lines to prevent new wrinkles from setting in (a similar topical effect to neuromodulator injections like Botox and Dysport).

It also contains a multi-weight hyaluronic acid to plump fine lines and lock in moisture so the skin doesn’t appear crepey or dehydrated—especially under the eyes. This peptide-powered serum sold out four times last year thanks to its fast-acting and super-effective formula, so if you want to find out what the hype is about, we recommend acting fast.

Nina Kraus, 72, a professor at Northwestern University, went missing on Monday in Evanston, Illinois. The institution, located in the same city, asked for help from the public in locating the neurobiology and otolaryngology professor. Kraus left her home around 9 a.m. on Monday for a walk, before disappearing, Northwestern said in a press release. Kraus was wearing long pants, a windbreaker, and had a dark backpack with her, the institution said. Authorities describe the communications professor as being 5′4” with long silver hair, weighing around 140 pounds. The Evanston Police Department is conducting search efforts for Kraus in coordination with the university’s police. There is no indication of foul play, according to an ABC7 report. Evanston PD, without naming Kraus, announced on Tuesday morning that they would be piloting a drone along the shore of Lake Michigan as part of a missing person investigation. Kraus, who holds a Ph.D from Northwestern, is a “scientist, inventor, and amateur musician,” according to her bio on the university’s website.

Succession star Nicholas Braun has been arrested in New Hampshire for allegedly driving under the influence, according to reporting from TMZ. Braun, who played the affable but hapless Greg in HBO smash-hit Succession, is reported by the outlet to have been picked up by cops on Saturday in Moultonborough. Braun is understood to have walked free of a Carroll County jail after just an hour inside. His time in the cell, however, came with little opportunity for verification, as he has reportedly been given only a court date and no bail, while TMZ also reports the camera in the jail was broken, and so there is no mugshot. The Daily Beast has contacted representatives for Braun for verification and further comment on the incident. The Daily Beast has also contacted the Carroll County Sheriff’s Department and Moultonborough Police Department to try to confirm the claims. Raised on Long Island, NY, Braun is also known for his performance in The Perks of Being a Wallflower. He has been nominated three times for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his part as Greg on Succession.

Actor Charlie Sheen, celebrating his 60th birthday on Wednesday, has been sober for eight years but still struggles with forgiving himself, the former tabloid fixture revealed in an interview with People magazine. The Wall Street star spiraled deep into drug and alcohol addiction in his 40s, leading to several scandals and two very ugly public divorces, first from Denise Richards in 2006 and then from Brooke Mueller in 2011. Also in 2011, he was fired from his hit show Two and a Half Men, and then gave an interview to 20/20 in which he claimed to have “tiger blood” in his veins. Now, Sheen—who got sober in 2017 after several stints in rehab—is publishing a memoir and releasing a two-part Netflix documentary about his life. In his memoir, set to be released this month, he attributes that infamous tiger blood outburst to a testosterone cream he was using that made him a “raving lunatic.” “Forgiveness is still an evolving thing,” he told People. “I still get what I call the ‘shame shivers.’ These are the moments that hit me, of the heinous memories and choices and consequences. They’re getting farther in between, so I guess that’s progress.”

Olympic great Greg Louganis had to sell off some of his medals to raise the cash to start a new life abroad. The legendary American diver, who collected four gold medals and a silver over three Olympics between 1976 and 1988, said he “needed the money” from selling a trio of medals to leave his life in California and start over, revealing in a Facebook post that he is moving to Panama. Louganis, who won two gold medals in the 1984 Los Angeles Games and repeated the feat in Seoul four years later, said: “So, as life moves forward, what are you prepared to leave behind? I am 65 years old, and I am asking just that. I am no longer who I used to think I was.” He continued: “I have auctioned three of my medals, which sold…” Explaining his reasoning why, Louganis added, “I needed the money. While many people may have built businesses and sold them for a profit, I had my medals, which I am grateful for.” He also revealed he had sold his house: “I am VERY happy with whom I sold it to.” He promised he would be “checking in from Panama,” noting, “Now I get to discover who is Greg Louganis?” Louganis has long been considered a trailblazer for LGBTQ athletes, coming out as gay and revealing that he was HIV-positive in the mid-1990s.

Real self-care enthusiasts know there’s an art to taking a bath—we’re not children, after all. Setting the mood with ambient lighting, tossing in your favorite bath oils, bubbles, or bath bombs, and queuing up Netflix on a nearby laptop sets the tone for the ultimate relaxation experience. But if I’m being totally honest, once I get settled in the tub, I’m only moderately comfortable at best or awkwardly cramped at worst. Naturally, when I learned that there was a brand offering water-resistant pillows for your bath in the tub (or pool, hot tub, and sauna!), I knew I had to try it out myself. Badesofa offers back pillows, seat cushions, and foot pillows, all designed to make long soaks in the tub as comfortable as possible.

Yes, I’m bougie, but my back pillow is now a requirement for all of my at-home baths moving forward. Now, I can lean back on a cushion instead of the wall and watch full episodes of The Office without getting a crick in my neck. Yes, I still have to keep my feet out of the tub if I want to stretch them out, but my tub is basically a couch now, so I can’t complain. Plus, these pillows are designed with the brand’s CleanDry+ technology, which prevents waterlogging, so you don’t have to worry about mold or mildew. If you love taking baths but hate the soreness, Badesofa’s bath pillows will change the way you bathe.

This is an excerpt from a previously published review. Read the full Badesofa Back Bath Pillow for Tub review here.

Today host Sheinelle Jones is set to return to NBC’s morning show following the death of her husband in May. Jones, who co-hosts the 3rd Hour of Today, will take part in an emotional interview with Savannah Guthrie on Friday to discuss how she and her children are coping following the death of her husband Uche Ojeh, 45, of an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma. Jones, who was married to her husband for 17 years, revealed in January she had been off presenting duties to an unspecified “family health matter.” Jones is set to tell Guthrie that the months leading up to Ojeh’s death were a “beautiful nightmare,” for her and her three children and hopes that her upcoming interview will offer hope to those going through a similar situation, reported NBC News. In May, Guthrie told viewers that Ojeh was an “incredible person,” and the “perfect partner in life” for Jones. The couple met in the late 1990s, when Jones was an 18-year-old freshman at Northwestern University, who was showing Ojeh, then a high-school senior, around the campus. They eventually married in Sept. 2007 during a ceremony in Jones’ hometown of Philadelphia.

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un rolled into Beijing in his signature green armored train on Tuesday to join Russia’s Vladimir Putin and China’s Xi Jinping for a massive military parade. The reclusive leader’s appearance at the event, intended to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II, is the first time a North Korean leader has attended a Chinese military parade since 1959. It comes after Putin greeted Xi as his “dear friend” and said relations between the two countries had “reached their highest level in history” as he and Indian Prime Minister Modi held hands while attending the Chinese president’s Shanghai Co-Operation Organization (SCO) summit this week, intended to showcase Xi’s vision of an anti-western coalition which could challenge America’s dominance on the world stage. While Kim was not present at the summit, he is considered a key player in the “axis of upheaval,” with a trilateral meeting between the three leaders heavily rumored to take place this week. The North Korean dictator has sought to strengthen ties with Putin by supplying arms to Russia and even sending troops to the frontlines in Ukraine, angering Xi in the process, who has insisted on taking a more neutral stance on the conflict.
