Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters quickly became one of the streamer’s biggest animated hits, earning widespread acclaim for its animation, Grammy-winning K-pop music, and memorable cast of heroes and villains. The film’s massive global success has transformed it into a full-fledged merchandising powerhouse, with fans eagerly collecting everything from apparel to toys inspired by HUNTR/X and the supernatural world they protect.
Jazwares is among the latest companies to expand the franchise with an officially licensed KPop Demon Hunters Squishmallows collection. The collaboration introduces four fan-favorite characters in plush form: Rumi, Jinu, Sussie, and Derpy. The lineup joins Jazwares’ growing range of KPop Demon Hunters products, with the company also planning additional plush and BumBumz inspired by the film for global retailers.
FAN-FAVORITE CHARACTER
Squishmallows KPop Demon Hunters Rumi Plush
Rumi headlines the collection as an eight-inch Squishmallows plush made with the brand’s signature ultrasoft fabric.
The design shows off Rumi’s most recognizable features, including her embroidered mismatched eyes and woven purple braid. Her coffee-brown right eye represents her human side, while the glowing amber left eye symbolizes her demon heritage as a human-demon hybrid (cambion).
HUNTR/X RIVAL
Squishmallows KPop Demon Hunters Jinu Plush
Jinu’s standout detail is his traditional Korean gat, which has been incorporated into the plush design to mirror his on-screen look.
Jinu joins the Squishmallows lineup in an eight-inch plush that captures his signature appearance from the film. Like every release in the collection, it is an officially-licensed Netflix product crafted from Squishmallows’ ultrasoft material and features the official Squishmallows seal for collectors.
SUPERNATURAL MAGPIE
Squishmallows KPop Demon Hunters Sussie Plush
Sussie makes their Squishmallows debut as an eight-inch plush featuring a distinctive traditional black gat.
Sussie’s compact size makes it ideal for display alongside the rest of the KPop Demon Hunters Squishmallows collection.
MAGICAL BLUE TIGER
Squishmallows KPop Demon Hunters Derpy Plush
Squishmallows recreates the beloved tiger’s signature striped tail, one of the defining details fans will immediately recognize.

Wedding season continues for Taylor Swift, as she and Travis Kelce attended NFL player JuJu Smith-Schuster and Laura Kruk’s ceremony in Orange County, California, just a week after the singer’s big Madison Square Garden celebration in New York City.
Smith-Schuster is a wide receiver for the New York Giants, but previously played for the Kansas City Chiefs alongside Kelce; Kruk is known for her lifestyle and beauty content on social media. Smith-Schuster and Kruk were seen at Swift and Kelce’s wedding event last week before getting married in Orange County, California, at the oceanside Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel on Friday (July 10). Though they haven’t shared any wedding photos yet (nor have Swift and Kelce), Kruk did post an Instagram Story showing the Southern California coast with the text “let’s get you married” in the early morning hours on Saturday.
Swift and Kelce were seen in paparazzi footage from Smith-Schuster and Kruk’s wedding circulating online, strolling hand-in-hand in a video clip and seated during the service and festivities in photos.
The Life of a Showgirl star chose a strapless, pink floral gown by Markarian, the Laila Floral Brocade Gown, as her wedding guest look.
For her own wedding on July 3, Swift opted for custom Dior. Her wedding dress — which is still yet to be publicly revealed — was by Jonathan Anderson, creative director of the design house’s Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections. “It was a joy to work with her. We became very good friends,” Anderson told WWD post-nuptials. “It’s an emotional thing doing someone’s wedding.”
In music news, last week the Toy Story 5 soundtrack, featuring Swift’s original song “I Knew It, I Knew You,” debuted in the top 10 on three Billboard charts: No. 1 on the Kid Albums ranking, No. 2 on the Soundtracks chart and at No. 9 on Independent Albums.
Meanwhile, Swift currently holds four spots in the top 10 on the Adult Contemporary songs chart, with “Elizabeth Taylor” sneaking in at No. 10, “I Knew It, I Knew You” holding onto No. 9, “Opalite” shining at No. 8 and “The Fate of Ophelia” finding itself at No. 7.
And in other milestone moments of 2026 for Swift, on July 8 she received a Primetime Emmy nomination for Taylor Swift/The Eras Tour/The Final Show. The nod is for her work as as both performer and producer in the category of outstanding variety special (pre-recorded), one of five categories the Disney+ special was nominated in.

After a five-year hiatus, Conor McGregor returns to the octagon, as the Ultimate Fighting Championship heads to “Sin City” for UFC 329. Two top fighters face off against each other in a welterweight rematch main event, with Irish fighter Conor McGregor (22-6-0) taking on American Max Holloway (27-9-0) on Saturday (July 11).
UFC 329: McGregor vs. Holloway takes place at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, with a start time of 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT. The main card begins at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, with the main event starting around 11:59 p.m. ET/8:59 p.m. PT.
The biggest draw of the event is the return of Conor McGregor, who’s now 37 years old, to the UFC after five years away. McGregor’s last match was in July 2021, which was a TKO loss to Dustin Poirier, so the Irish fighter is looking to show the world that he can compete at a world-class level again. McGregor’s last win in the octagon came during UFC 246 back in January 2020.
However, after their first match in August 2013, Holloway is looking for a little payback after losing to McGregor in an unanimous decision during UFC Fight Night 26 nearly 13 years ago.
What Is McGregor’s and Holloway’s Walkout Music for UFC 329?
Although the UFC has yet to announce each fighter’s walkout songs for UFC 329, both usually go out to the octagon to the same songs during their matches. McGregor has walked out to a remix mashup of “The Foggy Dew” by Sinéad O’Connor and “Hypnotize” by The Notorious B.I.G., while Max Holloway prefers to walk out to “Hawaiian Kickboxer” by Moke Boy.

Nene Royal has a name, and a voice, that you just might hear again.
Hailing the Phuket, Thailand, the teenager stepped onto the America’s Got Talent stage, for the latest round of Auditions, airing Tuesday night (July 7). And she immediately made everyone in the place stand up and take notice.
Royal, like so many AGT hopefuls, the performance was the first stride in a lifelong dream. Picking up the guitar at age seven, she has always dreamed of being a “superstar on tour,” she told the judges at the top. Well, she came to the dream factory.
Performing a day prior to her 16th birthday, Royal shook off any lingering nerves, hoisted an electric guitar, cranked up her amp and tore through a cover of The Cranberries mid-‘90s protest anthem “Zombie,” a song that logged six weeks at No. 1 on Billboard‘s Alternative Songs chart.
Make no mistake. The kid can rock.
With her proud dad watching on, Royal had the room in raptures, jaws on the floor. “That was spectacular. You have a very big chance to do really good in this competition,” enthused Sofía Vergara. “I loved it.”
Howie Mandel got a much-appreciated wake up. “You are such a surprise (with your) energy and the rock ‘n’ roll. You are a rock star, young lady, you really are,” he enthused.
Mel B praised the youngster’s vocal control. And she can “kill it” on the guitar. “You’re like a match made in heaven. You’re brilliant.”
Simon Cowell, as he so often does, spoke last. “The tone of your voice,” he remarked, “it was like really authentic and even the fact it was all a bit messy actually made, for me, the audition really good.”
Each judge voted, each gave a resounding yes. And Royal continues on her dream run in this 21th season of NBC’s AGT. Watch below.

A seasoned RuPaul’s Drag Race star is ready to sashay into the Big Brother house, with the reality show announcing Tuesday (July 7) that Jason De Puy — aka Salina EsTitties — is joining the season 28 cast.
The news comes alongside a larger cast announcement for the upcoming installment of the program, which involves the nonstop surveillance of a group of strangers living together in a remote house as they undergo a series of votes to determine who is eliminated over time. Melody Morris, Barrett Pfeiffer, LaTrice Verrett and more are also part of the next season.
De Puy is most well known for his alter ego Salina, previously competing on season 15 of Drag Race in 2023 before joining the ongoing 11th season of Drag Race All-Stars this year. He has also released a handful of songs under the EsTitties name, including the 2026 single “Pek Pek.” Last year, De Puy was featured on “My Guy” by fellow Big Brother alum/Ariana Grande’s older brother Frankie Grande.
The performer shared a video on Instagram introducing himself to the Big Brother fanbase, exclaiming that he’s “low-key a superfan” of the show.
“I’ve been watching since season 16, so I’ve been around,” De Puy said before giving a preview of what his strategy for the competition will be. “I’m gonna say that I’m a professional drag queen, and I’m going to read the room to see if anyone clocks my tea. If they clock me, I’m just going to be like, ‘Yeah, I was on Drag Race.’”
“The perfect blindside’s gonna get them, and they’re gonna be so gagged, but baby, at that point it’ll be too late,” the San Francisco native added. “Sorry, goodbye.”
The next season of Big Brother will premiere July 9 on CBS.

Amazon says this is the number-one new gag gift release on the site, with more than 800 units sold in the last few weeks alone.
MINI VERSION
Minions & Monsters Mini Fart Blaster
Small enough to stash in a backpack (you didn’t read it here!) but big on laughs, the Mini Fart Blaster is perfect for aspiring pranksters.
The compact gadget features eight goofy fart sounds inspired by the movie and only requires two AAA batteries to start pranking. Sometimes the funniest surprises really do come in the smallest packages.
2-IN-1 SET
Minions & Monsters Quest for Monsters Playset & Spell Book

This set features two mini figures, a plastic playset and a separate spell book.

Ed was such a beloved character that Illumination made two sensory plush toys in his honor.
