Serena Williams Offers Cheeky Advice To Coco Gauff After She Smashed Her Racket Following Australian Open Loss
Jan 29, 2026
There's no better person to take advice from than someone who's gone through exactly what you're going through right now. Having four Olympic Gold medals might not hurt, either.
While participating in the Australian Open quarterfinals, tennis star Coco Gauff was moved to tears when she lost the competition to Elina Svitolina. But the cameras kept rolling after she stepped off the court, revealing that she smashed her tennis racket out of frustration once alone in the back halls of the athletic center.
Gauff is far from the first tennis player to damage her racket after a big loss. Just months ago, Aryna Sabalenka was ridiculed online for breaking her racket after losing the Australian Open final, and back in 2018, Serena Williams received a code violation for racket abuse when she broke her racket in one fell swoop after losing the U.S. Open Final to Naomi Osaka.
As Gauff's actions began to circulate online, some people criticized her like other players who have taken their frustrations out on their rackets, while others tried to show her grace as a person feeling human emotions.
Serena Williams' husband, Alexis Ohanian, posted a screenshot of a collection of news stories, stating:
"[Not gonna lie], I love this energy and emotion from Coco Gauff. We love sports, because it's raw, because these athletes put their ALL into the battle, and sometimes (like life), you don't win."
"Media are gonna spin this private moment for a headline to get some clicks, but Coco did nothing wrong here."
While agreeing with her husband, Serena Williams showed her quick wit.
"Well said, Alexis Ohanian."
"Passion. Caring. Matters. Nothing wrong with hating to lose."
"Now Coco when you want I can show you how to demolish in one swipe... Serena style."
Coco Gauff appreciated Williams' comment:
Fellow X-users appreciated Williams' sense of humor.
Others agreed and pointed out how normal it was for emotions to run high while participating in sports.
Everyone works hard for something in their life, and they're bound to be disappointed when they don't succeed. The fact that the disappointment has to be hidden from the public seems unrealistic and unhealthy.

People Are Floored After Dr. Pepper Actually Uses TikToker's Catchy Jingle In Commercial
Jan 29, 2026
Let's be real: You'll never get what you want if you don't shoot your shot.
That was what TikToker Romeo Bingham decided when she was bored and suddenly came up with the idea for a new jingle for Dr. Pepper.
In a text overlay, she wrote:
"I had to act on this before someone got sent this in a dream and steal it from me, so I impulsively posted this."
In the video, she said:
"I have a new theme song for Dr. Pepper, and it goes like this:"
"Dr. Pepper, baby... It's good and nice! Do do do!"
You can watch the video here:
@romeosshow @Dr Pepper please get back to me with a proposition we can make thousands together. #drpepper #soda #beverage
Lots of fellow TikTokers complimented Bingham on the jingle.





Some other brands even chimed in, wishing for a jingle of their own.





Because of all of the attention, fellow TikToker @pinotbb suggested that Bingham go back through her comments section and start creating jingles for the companies that asked for one.
@romeosshow Replying to @pinotbb full of jingles and theme songs! email me if interested! #jingle #themesong #drpepper #song #romeosshow
Bingham took that challenge seriously and proceeded to produce catchy jingles for a wide range of companies, from fellow food companies to car companies and more.
She has since come up with catchy jingles for Hyundai, VitaCoco, and the Monopoly Game.
@romeosshow Replying to @Hyundai USA doing this because my old @Hyundai USA served me well. 𫥠#hyundai #cars #auto #jingle
The coolest part of the story, though, was that less than a month later, Dr. Pepper ran a new commercial that featured Bingham's jingle suggestion on repeat throughout.
Printed in large, bold letters, the lyrics are easily readable throughout the commercial while various flavors of Dr. Pepper are displayed.
Even the "do do do" part of the jingle is included in the commercial, and both times it's heard, the Dr. Pepper cans visibly shake.
You can watch the new commercial here:

The news spread across social media, particularly X, and X users were happy for Bingham's success.
Jingles definitely seem to be making a comeback since 2020, and with the surge of AI, it's awesome to see something created and implemented by a human being.
Most importantly, this is such a great example of dreams actually coming true if you put yourself out there.

Jennifer Grey Shares Poignant Thoughts After 'Dirty Dancing' Sequel Is Set To Start FilmingâAnd Fans Are Thrilled
Jan 29, 2026
In 1987, audiences had the time of their lives when Dirty Dancing hit theaters. Nearly 40 years later, that story is officially stepping back onto the dance floor.
Lionsgate announced Tuesday, January 27, that Jennifer Grey will reprise her role as Frances âBabyâ Houseman in an upcoming Dirty Dancing sequel. The project will be produced by The Hunger Games and Crazy Rich Asians producers Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson, with filming expected to begin later this year.
The sequel is being written by Dying for Sex screenwriter Kim Rosenstock, who co-created the Michelle Williams-led Hulu series and served as an executive producer on Love Story: John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Carolyn Bessette.
Grey, now 65, starred opposite the late and great Patrick Swayze in the 1987 original, a film that went on to define a generation and cement itself as a pop culture touchstone. In a press release announcing her return, Grey addressed the weightâand meaningâof stepping back into Babyâs shoes.
Grey reflected on what the role has meant to her and generations of fans:
âThe role of Baby has held a very deep and meaningful place in my heart, as it has in the hearts of so many fans over the years.â
Grey is also serving as an executive producer on the sequel. While talk of a continuation has circulated for years, the project was first confirmed to be in development in 2020. In her statement, Grey acknowledged why it took time to reach this moment.
Grey explained the care behind revisiting such a beloved film:
âIâve long wondered where we might find Baby years later and what her life might be like, but itâs taken time to assemble the kind of people that I felt could be entrusted to build on the legacy of the original film ⊠and Iâm excited to say that it looks like the wait will soon be over.â
She also marked the announcement by sharing a promotional post on social media:
For producer Nina Jacobson, the sequel isnât as much about nostalgia as it is about why the film still resonates decades later.
She described what gives Dirty Dancing its staying power:
âDirty Dancing is that rare film that is as emotional, exhilarating and rebellious today as it was the year it was released.â
Jacobson wants to honor what made the story connect so deeply in the first place. That sense of responsibility, she noted, is what makes stepping back into the world of Dirty Dancing both meaningful and daunting.
Jacobson elaborated about the return to Kellermanâs Mountain House:
âTo be able to work with Jennifer Grey and Lionsgate on the sequel is a genuine joy for Brad and me. We feel so fortunate to have been invited back to Kellermanâs for one more dance.â
While anticipation for the sequel is high, Grey has been clear about one boundary: it will not attempt to recreate the chemistry she shared with Patrick Swayze, who died in 2009 at age 57 after a 20-month battle with Stage IV pancreatic cancer.
In an interview with People, Grey addressed that reality directly:
âAll I can say is there is no replacing anyone whoâs passedâyou never try to repeat anything thatâs magic like that. You just go for something different.â
Fans had mixed reactions to the announcement, with some questioning whether Dirty Dancing needs a sequel and others excited to see Jennifer Grey return as Baby.
You can view the comments and fan casting choices below:
Still, Grey has often looked back on their collaboration with affection, especially the choreography that made the film iconic, including the lift in the final scene.
Grey recalled the trust she built with Swayze while filming:
âPatrick is the only one who really anyone should try it with, because he was just such a good ballet dancer. He was so used to lifting women and so strong. By the end of the movie, I trusted him so much.â
The sequel marks her first return to the role since the late 1980s. The original Dirty Dancing was directed by Emile Ardolino. While Jonathan Levine was previously attached to direct the sequel, he will now serve as an executive producer, and a director has not yet been announced.
The film was a box office success, earning over $214 million worldwideâor $608 million today when adjusted for inflation. It also won the Academy Award for best original song for â(Iâve Had) The Time of My Lifeâ and later expanded into a franchise that included the 2004 prequel Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, a stage musical, and a 2017 television remake that aired on ABC.
Swayze also briefly reprised his role as Johnny Castle in Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights, which starred Diego Luna and Romola Garai.
With filming expected to begin later this year, fans will soon discover who Baby is decades after that last dance became legendary.

TikTok Now Claims A 'Power Outage' Is To Blame For The App's Massive GlitchesâBut The Internet Isn't So Sure
Jan 29, 2026
The new owners of U.S. TikTokâAmerican investors to satisfy safety concerns about the app created by the Chinese technology company ByteDanceâhave an explanation for ongoing problems experienced by users beginning Sunday morning.
For context, MAGA Republican President Donald Trump infamously ranted about the app and vowed to permanently ban it from the United States during his first term in office.
After many U.S. users reported an inability to upload new videos to the platform or to new videos from other users, including those from users outside the U.S., people accused the platform of censorship.
Others pointed to issues with the algorithm that determines what content they see. During initial stages of use of most social media, users see random content until an algorithm "learns" their preferences based on their reactions and engagement, then serves up that content.
Some U.S. TikTok users claimed their algorithm was "reset" to resemble a new user's blank slate. Others stated a new algorithm that bolstered pro-Trump, pro-MAGA, or pro-right wing content.
In response, TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC posted Monday on X:
"Since yesterday weâve been working to restore our services following a power outage at a U.S. data center impacting TikTok and other apps we operate. We're working with our data center partner to stabilize our service. We're sorry for this disruption and hope to resolve it soon."
Later in the day they posted an image of their official statement captioned:
"An update on our work to restore and stabilize TikTok."
The statement read:
"We're continuing to resolve a major infrastructure issue triggered by a power outage at one of our U.S. data center partner sites. While the network has been recovered, the outage caused a cascading systems failure that we've been working to resolve together with our data center partner."
"What this means for your Tik Tok experience:"
"âą You may notice multiple bugs, slower load times, or timed-out requests, including when posting new content."
"âą Creators may temporarily see '0' views or likes on videos, and your earnings may look like they're missing. This is a display error caused by server timeouts; your actual data and engagement are safe."
"Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work to bring TikTok back to full capacity as soon as we can."
On Tuesday, the account added:
"We've made significant progress in recovering our U.S. infrastructure with our U.S. data center partner. However, the U.S. user experience may still have some technical issues, including when posting new content. We're committed to bringing TikTok back to its full capacity as soon as possible. We'll continue to provide updates. Thanks for your patience."
The U.S. TikTok account's posts don't allow comments from the public, so users of the platform have taken their responses elsewhere, like the technology subReddit.

Users weren't buying what the new owners were selling.







Redditors called TikTok's power outage explanation a lie to cover up pro-Trump censorship and shadow banning.








TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC is helmed by Oracle and a group of investors friendly to the Trump administration. The group took over TikTok in the United States last week, which raised concerns about censorship and privacy.
The group promised to route U.S. TikTok user data through Oracle-owned data centers and launch a new version of TikTokâs algorithm specific to U.S. user activity.
TikTok was accused of becoming another social media platform, like Elon Musk's X, that promotes the White supremacist and Christian nationalist agenda of the Trump administration while spying on users to identify and silence critics.

Megyn Kelly Slammed After Boasting About Why She Doesn't 'Feel Sorry' For ICE Shooting Victim Alex Pretti
Jan 29, 2026
Right-wing talk show host Megyn Kelly was slammed after she shared her reasons for not feeling "sorry" for ICU nurse Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by ICE agents over the weekend.
Calls for an investigation have intensified from across the political spectrum after analysis of multiple videos showed ICE officers removing a handgun from Prettiâa weapon that authorities said Pretti was permitted to carry but was not handling at the timeâbefore fatally shooting him.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other officials claimed Pretti had brandished a weapon and that agents fired âdefensive shots,â assertions that have been contradicted by video evidence showing Pretti holding a phone and not brandishing a gun.
The Trump administration's critics have since called out the hypocrisy of officials who've previously praised armed right-wing protesters but are now attacking Pretti, a legal gun owner with a valid Minnesota concealed-carry permit.
Kelly claimed that ongoing protests in Minneapolis are the brainchild of "organized agitators who train to disrupt and in some cases, hurt law enforcement," insisting that demonstrators are âlooking for confrontations.â
She added:
âYou donât resist arrest. You donât antagonize cops in the middle of the street in a law enforcement operation, and then, when theyâve got hands on you, trying to place you under arrest, you submit. Thatâs it. Submit."
Then she doubled downâexplaining very clearly why she feels no sympathy for Pretti's violent death at the hands of ICE agents:
âI know Iâm supposed to feel sorry for Alex Pretti, but I donât. I donât. Do you know why I wasnât shot by Border Patrol this weekend? Because I kept my ass inside and out of their operations."
"It's very simple. If I felt strongly enough about something the government was doing, that I would go out and protest, I would do it peacefully on the sidewalk without interfering via a whistle, via shouting, via my body, via any other way."
"I would make my objections known standing there without interfering because interfering is where you go south and laying hands on a police officer, trying to on a Border Patrol officer or ICE officer trying to conduct an operation is a felony and you're going to get arrested if you do anythingâanythingâthat resembles resisting you're in serious trouble."
You can hear what Kelly said in the video below.
Many have condemned Kelly's remarks.
Kelly has made headlines multiple times over the last few weeks for statements defending the Trump administration's tactics.
She was criticized after she revealed she not only supports the Department of Defense's attacks on alleged drug-smuggling vessels in the Caribbean but wants anyone aboard these boats to "suffer," even saying that she hopes they "lose a limb and bleed out" slowly.
While she said U.S. troops "should not commit war crimes," she alleged the criticism was âonly being done to retroactively justifyâ a video recently released by several Democratic members of Congress who are also former veterans that urged troops not to obey any unlawful orders.
Kelly admitted on air that she was "really having a difficult time ginning up sympathy for these guys who ten seconds earlier almost got taken out by the initial bomb, but because they managed to get ejected, you know, a little too soon, had to be taken out in the water."
Just days before she made these statements, Kelly generated controversy for attempting to downplay the pedophilia of the late financier, sex trafficker, and proven pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, saying he was merely "into the barely legal type."
Commenting on a release from House Oversight Committee Democrats that includes emails like one Epstein sent his associate Ghislaine Maxwell saying Trump spent time with a trafficking victim and another in which Epstein told a reporter that Trump "knew about the girls," Kelly questioned whether Epstein, whose history of pedophilia goes back decades, was actually a pedophile.
Kelly's remarks sparked outrage, particularly from those who pointed out she is defending a known pedophile and sex trafficker despite having a teenage daughter herself.
