Tyra Banks revealed another "gross" habit on Today With Jenna & Friends on July 31

Banks admitted she loves to cut toenails, pick toes and pop pimples

The America's Next Top Model alum recently went viral for admitting she likes to eat the leftover crumbs in her bed

Tyra Banks is getting candid about some more of her "gross" habits.

Banks, 51, co-hosted Today With Jenna & Friends on Thursday, July 31, where she talked about two of her favorite hobbies – clipping toenails and popping pimples. After reflecting on her viral comments about eating the leftover crumbs in her bed on Monday, July 28, Banks had more confessions to make.

"Do you clip toes? I don't clip anybody's toes," Jenna Bush Hager said, to which Banks nodded.

"No. Oh, my God. Do you clip toes?" Bush Hager, 43, said. "Yes, you do."

"I am, like an aesthetician, pedicurist, everything. I love it. I'm getting a reputation for being a gross person," the America's Next Top Model alum joked.

The pair then joked about Banks' comments about eating leftover crumbs. "The eating of the crumbs article really got some pickup," Bush Hager said, laughing. "It did, and they're saying because 'Jenna was disgusted,' Banks quipped.

"I was not disgusted!" Bush Hager said.

"That's what they said. And it's okay, I still love you – but, I'm about to disgust you," Banks said.

"It's my reputation now," Banks joked. "I like to pick. I like the toe. And if it has some stuff in it, I don't mind digging it out. But I have a kit. You have to have a kit. So you have to have, like, some alcohol or some, you know, some stuff," she explained.

"Now, who are you doing that to?" Bush Hager asked. "Anyone who that wants it?"

"My mom, my friends, my man, my son, and then a pimple. Like, if you had a pimple, it would be staring at me the whole time time," Banks explained.

"Like, Dr. Pimple Popper, like that, you know, did you watch that show?" Bush Hager asked.

"I don't watch it too much because it maybe, like an addiction. It's disgusting and erotic at the same time. It touches those parts of you," Banks added.

Bryan West, USA TODAY NETWORKAugust 1, 2025 at 4:04 AM

Crystal Haryanto blended her love of economics with her love of Taylor Swift to create a course at the University of California, Berkeley, but she didn't expect the "passion project" to make her a published author before the age of 23.

"While I am in awe, this does feel like something I've somehow been preparing for my whole life," she says over Zoom.

Haryanto's course, "Artistry, Policy, & Entrepreneurship: Taylor's Version," returns to Berkeley for a fourth semester in the fall and follows the release of her first book: "The Glory of Giving Everything."

The title is a play on words from a lyric in Swift's song "Clara Bow": "Take the glory, give everything."

"The Glory of Giving Everything" by Crystal Haryanto dives into the economics and business model of Taylor Swift. Photographed July 30, 2025.

Taylor Swift 101: From poetry to business, college classes offer insights on 'Swiftology'

"It's a perfect line, because it traces the lineage of women in entertainment," she says. "By accepting fame and prestige, there's also this aspect where every part of your life is subjected to public consumption. You give your all to your craft, because if you don't give your all — especially for Taylor and women in entertainment — you can easily be replaced. People will look for the next shiny thing."

When Swift was on a break between European and North American legs of the Eras Tour in September 2024, Haryanto was approached by John Wiley & Sons to write a book.

She finished in four months, balancing a full-time job as an economic consultant along with being a part-time instructor at Berkeley. Sometimes, she would catch concert livestreams and listen to the crowd cheer, using the energy to fuel her writing.

"I would write into the wee hours of the morning," she says. "But I loved it."

Haryanto finished the manuscript just before her January birthday.

"I'm a Capricorn like Mama Swift," she says. "I wish I could say I'm an aesthetic writer. I'm not. I would love to be in a coffee shop with a croissant and colorful highlighters. But I am the most boring, like you would pass me on my computer with spreadsheets and PowerPoint lesson plans and think, 'This girl is doing her math homework.'"

Crystal Haryanto holds a copy of her book at Mrs. Dalloway's Literary & Garden Arts in Berkeley, Calif., July 16, 2025.'Next chapter'

The book does not follow Swift's eras chronologically; instead Haryanto ties economic concepts and business lessons to Swift's career with a perfect, bedazzled bow.

For example, while explaining anticipatory utility (people feeling excitement before an event), experienced utility (enjoyment a person feels at an event or when consuming a product) and remembered utility (post-event excitement), Haryanto illustrates the concepts using the Eras Tour.

Before the concert, fans fought for tickets on Ticketmaster, booked flights, reserved hotel rooms and purchased outfits to wear to the show. At the tour, they spent hours waiting in line for concert merchandise. And following the tour, they listened to her songs, bought more merchandise, danced in movie theater and streamed the three hour adventure on Disney+.

"The Eras Tour reigned as the epitomized Taylor Swift Experience not only because of its experienced utility, but also for its intensified anticipatory and remembered utility," she writes. "For some, the Eras Tour was folded into vacation plans. These fans attended in a city where tickets were more accessible, where they wanted to visit as a tour, or where they felt was important to Swift and predicted to be the bearer of extra surprises, such as Nashville or London, or opening or closing nights."

I spent a year covering Taylor Swift's Eras Tour around the world. Here's what it was like

Haryanto also categorizes every single one of Swift's songs. The self-proclaimed "Monica Geller from 'Friends'" neatly organizes each track across six categories: pop formula, circular, wild card, surprise, stripped and pre/post extended pop formula.

"I had to think of Taylor's songs as products," she says. "If a song were a physical thing, like what would it be? How would you touch it? How would you break it apart?"

She also slips in clever nods. The page before chapter 2 reads "Next Chapter," a wink to a lyric from "The Story of Us." The epilogue contains a hidden acrostic message, echoing Swift's early albums where secret phrases could be found in the liner notes.

'We would've been timeless'

Haryanto is presenting the book at locations in California and working on expanding the book tour across the nation. A list of dates and locations can be found on thegloryofgivingeverything.com.

For the fans she meets who have purchased "The Glory of Giving Everything," she personalizes each copy with a different lyric.

If she ever had the chance to hand a copy to Swift, she "would pen a lyric from my favorite song, 'Timeless': 'In another life you still would've turned my head.'"

1,350 more National Guard members withdrawn from Los Angeles LUIS MARTINEZJuly 31, 2025 at 5:34 PM The Pentagon has announced that 1,350 more federalized members of the California National Guard will be withdrawn from the security mission in Los Angeles that started in early June following protests ...

The Pentagon has announced that 1,350 more federalized members of the California National Guard will be withdrawn from the security mission in Los Angeles that started in early June following protests against immigration raids carried out by Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE). A remaining force of 250 National Guardsmen will remain in place to continue protecting federal government buildings and personnel in Los Angeles.

Close to 5,000 National Guard members and Marines were deployed to Los Angeles on June 7 for a mission that could potentially last up to 60 days, a time limit that ends next week.

"On Wednesday, Secretary Hegseth ordered the release of approximately 1,350 California National Guardsmen from the federal protection mission," Sean Parnell, the Pentagon's chief spokesman, said in a statement provided to ABC News.

"Approximately 250 California National Guardsmen remain in Los Angeles to protect federal personnel and property," Parnell said. "We greatly appreciate the support of the more than 5,000 Guardsmen and Marines who mobilized to Los Angeles to defend Federal functions against the rampant lawlessness occurring in the city."

Patrick T. Fallon/AFP via Getty Images, FILE - PHOTO: California National Guard stand on the steps of the Federal Building after days of protests in response to federal immigration operations in Los Angeles, June 10, 2025.

Democratic Mayor Karen Bass posted on X that the withdrawal was "another win for Los Angeles" as "1,000 more troops are retreating" and added, "We will continue this pressure until ALL troops are out of L.A."

That drew a response from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who responded on his personal X account, "You're welcome Mayor. These brave troops are redeploying because their mission was so successful."

He added, "You should be thanking them for saving your city from mobs & chaos. We will continue to support law enforcement -- even when you won't."

In recent weeks the Pentagon had announced the withdrawals of 2,000 Guard members and 700 Marines, along with the reassignment of 150 Guard members to firefighting duty.

The initial mobilization came in the wake of protests following ICE raids in Los Angeles and was unusual in that they were ordered by the Trump administration instead of by Gov. Gavin Newsom. City officials labeled the deployment of the Guard and Marines as unnecessary and said that Los Angeles Police Department was more than capable of responding to the initial protests.

Because they were federalized National Guard and Marines, they were not able to carry out law enforcement duties, which is prohibited by law. However, during their mission to protect federal buildings and personnel, the mobilized military personnel had the authority to temporarily detain individuals before quickly transferring them to law enforcement personnel.

As the mission continued, some of the forces received training to accompany ICE personnel on immigration raids, though their role was specifically limited to providing force protection.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon Pull the Plug on Hulk Hogan Film—Here's What We Know originally appeared on Parade.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's production company, Artists Equity, has shelved its plans to produce a film about Hulk Hogan's leaked sex tape scandal and the legal battle that ultimately bankrupted Gawker Media.

Parade verified with a source close to the development process that the project is no longer in the works at Artists Equity, and the decision was made well before Hogan's passing last week at the age of 71.

No public statement has been issued by Affleck or Damon as of yet.

The film, which never entered active production, was intended to explore the 2016 scandal that began when a video surfaced of Hogan engaging in sex with the wife of radio personality Bubba the Love Sponge.

The tape also captured Hogan making racist remarks, which led to a swift fallout that included a $140 million jury award and a reckoning over celebrity privacy in the digital age.

It's been reported that Hogan was never involved in the film and made clear he had no interest in contributing.

While the Hogan and Gawker saga remains one of the most headline-grabbing media stories of the past decade, it looks like its Hollywood dramatization will have to wait for now.

"It has complicated terraces, eccentric rocks and wonderful ecology, which give it a unique beauty," according to the site.

"With an altitude of over 100 meters (330 feet), it looks like a traditional landscape painting. Huge rocks have fallen into the river and been battered by the waves for millions of years, giving them a variety of beautiful shapes and features," the site adds.

"Rafting is the top attraction, featuring two sections: a 4.5-kilometer (2.7 miles) 'leisure drift' with gentle waters ideal for families, and a 7-kilometer (4,3 miles) 'adventure drift' packed with rapids and dramatic canyon scenery, perfect for those seeking a sense of excitement," added China Daily.

"Visitor numbers continue to climb, with weekend rafting capacity reaching up to 8,000 people per day," it continued.

Rarely-Seen Soap Opera Star, 77, Is Nearly Unrecognizable With Arm Sling originally appeared on Parade.

Soap opera legend Deidre Hall, best known for her iconic role as Dr. Marlena Evans on Days of Our Lives, was recently spotted during a rare public outing in Los Angeles — and the 77-year-old's appearance sparked concern.

Photographed on Wednesday, July 30, Hall appeared as radiant and ageless as ever, but the noticeable arm sling raised questions about a possible injury.

In the photos obtained by MEGA, Hall is seen strolling through Los Angeles with friends, dressed casually in a blue button-up shirt, black pants and oversized shades. The actress appeared in good spirits despite wearing the sling, though the cause of her injury remains unclear.

This marks her first public sighting since March, when she was last seen running errands in Santa Monica — notably without an arm sling, suggesting the injury occurred more recently.

The outing took an unexpected turn when a parking enforcement officer was photographed seemingly leaving a citation on Hall's Mercedes-Benz. The car was parked alongside several others on a busy street, though it's unknown whether other vehicles were also ticketed.

Hall's appearances have become increasingly rare in recent years, with her last red carpet event being the 92nd Hollywood Christmas Parade supporting Toys for Tots in December 2024. Since then, the veteran actress has maintained a low profile while continuing her work on the long-running NBC daytime drama.

Hall remains active in her iconic role and recently opened up about her early days on Days of Our Lives. While on the "Soapy" podcast, hosted by The Bold and the Beautiful's Rebecca Budig and Days costar Greg Rikaart, she revealed how she nearly passed on the role that would define her career.

NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty Images via Getty Images

"I was screen testing, and they usually try and have people not in the same room," Hall recalled. "... And I happened to see a couple women and I thought, 'My word, look who's testing for this.' "

Convinced she wouldn't be chosen over those well-known actresses, she declined the role after learning she'd been cast. "There must be something wrong with this part, so I'm turning it down too. And I did."

Three weeks later, her agent stepped in and changed her mind. "You said you wanted to do a soap," she remembered him saying. "I said, 'But there's something wrong with it.' He said, 'No.' I said, 'I wasn't their first choice.'

Her agent's reassurance proved to be the turning point, telling her, "Yes, you were." Hall called it a "You like me, you really like me" moment, and, with her doubts gone, she remembered "I love that part."

That decision kicked off one of daytime TV's most iconic partnerships, with Hall's portrayal of Marlena becoming inseparable from Days of Our Lives itself.

The rest, as they say, is soap opera history — and Hall's decades-long commitment to the character has made her one of the longest-tenured actors of the show.
