Leaving Netflix in July 2018: These Movies and TV Shows Are No Longer Cool for the Summer


If I had my way, I’d watch Hilary Duff’s seminal classic A Cinderella Story every day. And with Netflix, I had that possibility. The movie’s been available for streaming on Netflix for a while now, but the gravy train is about to end. That’s right: A Cinderella Story is leaving Netflix streaming at the end of July. This is more devastating than the time Sam’s evil stepmother (Jennifer Coolidge) forged a Princeton rejection letter and gave it to her. Remember that? And those weird, warm cookies she offered Sam as a consolation? What a monster! (But also: What a performance. Jennifer Coolidge is supremely underrated.)

Also monstrous is the fact that Bring It On—and its many, many sequels—is leaving streaming in July. What, is Netflix trying to erase all traces of my youth?! What am I going to watch now?

Here are the other movies and TV shows Netflix is axing in July. Get them in now while you can.

Old Navy's Legendary $1 Flip-Flop Sale Is No Longer Online


Old Navy‘s annual $1 flip-flop sale is the stuff of retail legend: For one day—and one day only—the brand cuts the price on its classic, solid-colored rubber sandals, which normally retail for $3.94, to a single George Washington. The discount might not seem that significant, but it’s clearly of great importance to Old Navy’s most loyal customers, who start asking about the date of the sale as early as February, Refinery29 reported in 2016.

The brand announced that the 2018 event will take place on Saturday, June 23, though with one noteworthy amendment: Unlike last year’s sale, the $1 flip-flops will not be available online.

Last year, Old Navy truly made the task of rounding out your summer footwear that much easier (and lazier) by extending its promotion to its website. Sadly, the convenience of not having to fight over the last pair of lilac or magenta flip-flops is no more. Still, the deal in-stores is as good as ever: Customers can grab up to 10 pairs of solid flip-flops for $1 (pairs with patterns are $2.) You’ll need to check local store hours for sale start times, according to a representative for the brand.

You, after Old Navy’s $1 flip-flop sale on June 23.

If you have any lingering doubts about the hype surrounding the $1 sandals (and the drive to your nearest Old Navy), all you need to do is revisit some of the social reactions from last year’s promotion, which Footwear News dutifully compiled, to shake them off. (At one point, it was the second most successful promotion Old Navy ran each year, after Black Friday, the brand’s then–global chief marketing officer told Forbes back in 2014.)

With the return to hosting the sale in-stores only, Old Navy also christened the event with a new name: The “One Dolla Holla Sale.” You can get pumped for the event by visiting last year’s feel-good ad spots—one in which flip-flops are delivered by drones to a beach, and another where Miles Brown of black-ish and viral dance sensation Tavaris Jones bust some moves in their new sandals. (That second one really is pretty cute.)

So, mark your calendars, friends. Putting some extra effort into an Old Navy visit for $1 flip-flops is a trendy investment: We’ve seen flip-flops on runways from J.W. Anderson to Michael Kors.

The Miss America Pageant Will No Longer Include a Swimsuit Competition


In a move meant to modernize in the era of #MeToo, the Miss America pageant will no longer include a swimsuit competition.

The organization’s new Board of Trustees chairwoman, former Fox News anchor and Miss America 1989, Gretchen Carlson appeared on Good Morning America to make the big announcement. (Carlson took charge of Miss American earlier this year after the Huffington Post discovered emails from former CEO Sam Haskell and other leaders in which contestants were slut-shamed, body-shamed, and called vulgar names.)

“We are no longer a pageant,” Carlson told GMA. “We are a competition. We will no longer judge our candidates on their outward physical appearance. That’s huge.”

Carlson said they will also be revamping the evening gown portion of the program. Instead contestants will be asked to wear clothing that makes them feel comfortable and confident—an expression of their own personal style.

“We’ve heard from a lot of young women who say, ‘We’d love to be a part of your program but we don’t want to be out there in high heels and a swimsuit,’ so guess what, you don’t have to do that anymore,” Carlson said. “Who doesn’t want to be empowered, learn leadership skills and pay for college and be able to show the world who you are as a person from the inside of your soul. That’s what we’re judging them on now.”

“We are now open, inclusive and transparent and I want to inspire thousands of young people across this country to come and be a part of our program,” she continued. “We want you and we want to celebrate your accomplishments and your talents and then we want to hand you scholarships.”

Carlson also hopes to put more focus on the talent and scholarship aspects of the competition going forward.

Reaction online has been fairly positive so far.

But, of course, there are some upset about the changes.

As for whether or not the competition’s new direction will affect ratings—we’ll just have to wait until September to find out.

CVS Will No Longer Photoshop Its Beauty Ads


Photoshop is no secret of the beauty industry, yet body positivity activists have put their finger on one certainty: Being bombarded with digitally altered images effects our perceptions of ourselves. Now, CVS Pharmacy is rolling out an initiative to bring a reality check to the advertising industry.

CVS just announced it’s putting new standards in place for how it alters beauty imagery used in its stores, social media, and ads. On top of those guidelines, it’s rolling out the CVS Beauty Mark, a watermark that will indicate images that haven’t been digitally altered, which it’s defining as “changing or enhancing a person’s shape, size, proportion, skin or eye color, wrinkles or any other individual characteristics.”

We’ve seen similar initiatives from fashion brands like Aerie, Target, Asos, and Missguided, but Photoshop still pervades beauty advertising.

“As a woman, mother and president of a retail business whose customers predominantly are women, I realize we have a responsibility to think about the messages we send to the customers we reach each day,” Helena Foulkes, President of CVS Pharmacy and Executive Vice President, CVS Health, said in a press release. “The connection between the propagation of unrealistic body images and negative health effects, especially in girls and young women, has been established. As a purpose-led company, we strive to do our best to assure all of the messages we are sending to our customers reflect our purpose of helping people on their path to better health.”

For now, the Beauty Mark (pictured in the right corner at top) will be limited to only CVS-created imagery. But execs are working with other drugstore beauty brands and industry experts to develop retouching guidelines, with a goal of across-the-board consistency and transparency. The watermarked imagery will start to show up in CVS stores this year, and by 2020, it’s aiming for all ads from other brands to follow suit.

Why Kim Kardashian and Kanye West No Longer Give Each Other Gifts


PHOTO: C Flanigan/FilmMagic/Getty Images

Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West are a low-key, no-frills couple. No, really: Despite the weeklong wedding celebration in May 2014 that took attendees from Versailles to Florence and millions of dollars’ worth of sparkly things they’ve gifted each other, the power couple says they actually value being “grounded and well rounded” much more than accumulating pricey material possessions.

In an interview accompanying her covershoot for the October 2017 issue of Allure, Kardashian West opened up about her and her husband’s newly tame approach to celebrating each other—which, hopefully, still allows for West to fill rooms with gorgeous white roses in honor of his wife. “I don’t like presents anymore,” she said. “We just did absolutely nothing [for our anniversary]. We spent two days in Santa Barbara, and we slept.” Kardashian West added, “You know what? I think we went to IHOP. That’s what we did.”

This zen-like philosophy—possibly stemming from the reality star’s traumatizing robbery at gunpoint in Paris last October—also extends to the couple’s children, 4-year-old daughter North and 21-month-old son Saint. “We don’t do gifts,” the 36-year-old said when asked whether she worries about her kids growing up spoiled. “[Kanye and I] talk about it all the time, about not getting too much and trying to be as grounded and well rounded as possible.”

This approach is clearly working for Kimye, who are expecting their third child, a daughter, via surrogate at the beginning of next year. During a visit to The View earlier this summer, Kardashian West gushed over her husband and their strong, supportive relationship. “We’re best friends, and I think that’s just what’s so important for us in our marriage,” she said. “I think we started off as friends for so many years and we were friends when we were in other relationships and were such a good support system for each other for so long. I think that really helped to be the basis of our relationship.”

Plus pancakes always help.
