Is Millie Bobby Brown trying to send a message with her new look? The 21-year-old British actor has undergone a massive style shift as she debuted a new bleach blonde blowout accompanied by ’90s and Y2K-inspired ensembles — from bedazzled low-slung pants to a nostalgic Hervé Léger bandage dress — that wouldn’t look out of place in a certain mega pop star’s closet. Fans online have eagerly hoped that the outfits are a nod to a future Britney Spears biopic, which is currently in the works under “Wicked” director Jon M. Chu.

Going up against South Africa’s Aldrich Potgieter in a sudden death playoff to win the tournament, Campbell skewed his tee shot on the par-five 18th into the trees, instantly causing his heart to sink. But then fate intervened. Rather than landing out of bounds, his ball miraculously bounced off the trees and back onto the rough – an astonishing lifeline for his hopes of winning of the tournament.

A park roughly the size of four sheets of paper in Japan’s central prefecture of Shizuoka was recently crowned the world’s smallest, according to Guinness World Records. Despite measuring just 2.6 square feet, the recreational space offers a stool made up of a block of wood held up by a rock, with a little bush encircling it. From afar, it could easily be mistaken for a bonsai, an example of the Japanese art of manicuring miniature trees.
