Bianca Andreescu, Just 19, Is the 1st Canadian to Win a Tennis Grand Slam: "Let's Keep Going!"

In 1999, when Serena Williams won her first Grand Slam title at the US Open, Bianca Andreescu hadn't been born yet. But now, the 19-year-old Canadian came out victorious against the 20-year veteran and a woman she's called her idol. Bianca beat Serena, who turns 38 this month, 6-3, 7-5. The match was intense from the start, and Bianca had the first two games secured in her back pocket easily. It was her first-ever Grand Slam final, and she was versing one of the sport's greatest icons, but she didn't show visible nerves even when Serena rallied hard during the second set. Both played powerfully and fiercely - you could see it on their faces and in the way they fought for points - and both players made history at this tournament.

Serena Williams' 2019 US Open Records: Ranked 8th

Serena, who wasn't able to tie Margaret Court's record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles this time around, said after the tournament that Bianca played an "unbelievable match," and she personally was fighting to stay out there. "Honestly, the fans started cheering so hard, it just made me play a little bit better and fight a little bit more, so I was really grateful for that," she shared. This was Serena's 33rd Grand Slam singles final and the fourth time she made it to a major singles final since the birth of daughter Alexis Olympia in 2017 (this past June, she lost in the Wimbledon final against Simona Halep). "I just feel really honored to be out here, and I'm just so proud that I'm still out here competing at this level because it's not easy, you know what I mean, in this particular sport for 20 years," she said.

Bianca said of her victory, "It's so hard to explain in words, but I'm just beyond grateful and truly blessed. I've worked really, really hard for this moment." This time last year, Bianca was ranked 208th. Now, she's made history for her country. "I can't complain," she said. "This year has been a dream come true, and now being able to play on this stage against Serena, a true legend of the sport, is amazing."

Bianca said that winning wasn't easy, though she's proud of how she dealt with everything. "Obviously, it was expected for Serena to fight back. She's done that so many times in the past - that's why she's a true champion on and off the court." Bianca admitted that last year was a struggle for her because she was going through injuries, but she told herself to never give up, and she persevered. "I just kept believing in myself, I kept working hard, and I just kept that momentum and confidence throughout this whole year, and hopefully, I can keep going," she said. Bianca dedicated her win to her teammates and, looking toward her parents in the crowd, she concluded, "It's been a really long journey. I mean, maybe not so long, I'm only 19, but it hasn't been easy, so I just have to say thank you, and let's keep going!"

Britney Spears Debuted Ash Brown Hair, and She Looks So Different

Oops, she did it again. Britney Spears debuted a new brown hair color on Instagram, and there are plenty of Britney-isms fans can use to express their excitement surrounding her hair color change. "Same faces, same dress, new hair," she said in the caption, before noting that her sister, Jamie Lynn, had been the one to inspire the hair transformation.

The look is a major change from the blond hue we've seen her with for the past five years, but this isn't the first time she has been a brunette. You might recall that her hair was a lighter shade of brown in the late '90s as well as back in 2013.

Check out her hair color change and, in case you're feeling all gimme, gimme more, her most memorable brunette moments ahead.

15 Ariana Grande Videos That Might Be Too Sexy For Words

14 Shoes So Comfy, Pro Travelers Never Go Anywhere Without Them

The hardest part of packing for a trip is always deciding on which shoes to take. So whether you're headed on a city break or tropical vacation, we made it easy and rounded up 14 perfect pairs for every type of getaway. The best part: they're all so comfy and will match with everything you already own. From sneakers to espadrilles, take a look at our top picks ahead.

OMG, This Company Is Offering a Millennium Falcon-Esque Stroller Rental For Disney World!

As if the recent opening of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Walt Disney World wasn't exciting enough, one stroller rental company is making the land and its theme even more enticing with its new spaceship strollers. Fantasy Strollers, which currently rents out Cinderella's Carriage strollers to parents visiting Disney World, just added a spaceship stroller to its lineup, and it's perfect for your mini Rebels.

The strollers are available for use in Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, where they can be picked up and dropped off at designated locations in the park and at the nearby resorts. As far as rental fees go, the spaceship stroller starts at $100 for the day (from 9 a.m., 10 a.m., or 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.), with a $20 per hour charge for each hour after 5 p.m. Or, you could purchase the Fireworks Extension Package for the day, which gives you the rental until 10 p.m. for an extra $50 (compared to $100 when calculated per hour).

The strollers' features include ceiling fans, interior and exterior lights, phone chargers, cup holders, ample storage space, and of course, authentic touches such as Millennium Falcon-style doors and two pilot steering wheels. And after a long day enjoying Disney, there's the best feature of these spaceship strollers that parents will enjoy the most - it transforms into a bed so that your sleepy kiddos can catch a few Zs wherever you are in the park. Additionally, each stroller measures 20 inches wide by 50 inches long, which is within Disney's stroller size limit.

See photos of the Millennium Falcon-esque stroller ahead, and book one for your upcoming vacation (Fantasy Strollers recommends booking four to eight months in advance, as there are limited quantities of this new design)!

Every Starbucks Fan Must Visit This 4-Story Roastery Opening in Chicago

Starbucks is opening a new Starbucks Reserve Roastery location, and it's going to be epic! The four-story coffee shop will open in Chicago on Nov. 15, according to Delish, and it's the ultimate pit stop for serious Starbucks fans only. In case you haven't experienced the Starbucks Reserve Roastery before, just know that it's essentially a coffee-lover's Disneyland, and it serves specialty craft coffees that you won't find at your average Starbucks.

The new Reserve location in Chicago is located on North Michigan Avenue in a space that formerly housed Crate & Barrel, and it's the sixth one in the US, following the original Roastery in Seattle, which opened in 2014, the Shanghai Reserve from 2017, the Roasteries in New York City and Milan, which opened in 2018, and this year's newest location in Tokyo. Plans for the new spot were first announced in 2017, and now the opening is finally almost here.

Visitors who make their way to the Chicago Reserve Roastery, which is the largest of the six, can expect a "fully sensorial coffee environment dedicated to roasting, brewing and packaging its rare, small-batch Starbucks Reserve coffees from around the world," according to a statement from Starbucks. "Tailored to the Chicago customer, the interactive four-story, 43,000-square-foot space will also be designed to bring coffee craft to life by offering multiple brewing methods, specialty Reserve beverages and mixology." Essentially, if you take your coffee more seriously than you do just about anything else, this is the ultimate destination.

In the initial press release, Starbucks's former Executive Chairman and CEO Howard Schultz explained why this location is extraspecial, saying, "Having opened our first Starbucks store in Chicago nearly 30 years ago, our first outside of Seattle, this is a very special city for me. At the time, it was a true test for Starbucks because the Chicago customer is so savvy and discerning about their coffee."

Starbucks might not typically be on your Chicago sightseeing list, but we have a feeling it will be now.

See This Deaf Woman's Wholesome Reaction to People in Her Community Using Sign Language

If you need a reason to smile today, this Deaf woman's heartwarming Tik Tok video will absolutely do the trick. When 19-year-old Chrissy went out to run errands for the day, she wasn't expecting to come across so many people in her community who could speak to her with American Sign Language. "Today I went to three places and at all three, people signed!" Chrissy said excitedly in the video. She then went on to describe her visit to the bank, a local Starbucks, and a pizza restaurant, where she was delighted to find that the people around her could sign, making it easier for her to communicate with them. "It was like a perfect world. It was like a utopia," she said.

September is Deaf Awareness Month, and Chrissy's video sends an important message that learning even a few essential ASL signs can have a huge impact on the Deaf community and those around us who have difficulties communicating verbally. "Very rarely do I have a day like this," Chrissy said in a Twitter post. "I don't really think about how detached I can be sometimes until people around me engage, it's crazy just being able to comfortably chat with everyone made me so happy. I seriously thought I was being pranked or something lol."

A student at the University of California's School of Cinematic Arts, Chrissy is a self-proclaimed Deaf activist and content creator with her own YouTube channel, The Essential Sign.

"I'm Deaf. My whole family is hearing, so I was mainstreamed and did speech therapy for 13 years," Chrissy says on her YouTube "About" page. "At a young age, I recognized my situation and I took the initiative to learn sign language and become involved in the Deaf community. I have communicated with ASL for 8 years (I'm still not perfect) and it has made my life so much more accessible and given me the ability to communicate comfortably. ASL is a language I rely on daily and I do not take it for granted. But Deaf is not all I am, I am currently 19 and in college majoring in Film and Digital Media. I love creating, experimenting and learning. I am using YouTube's platform to talk about my experiences and spread awareness about the Deaf community, ASL, the value of communication, and accessibility."

I love creating, experimenting and learning. I am using YouTube's platform to talk about my experiences and spread awareness about the Deaf community, ASL, the value of communication, and accessibility."

See This Deaf Woman's Wholesome Reaction to People in Her Community Using Sign Language

If you need a reason to smile today, this Deaf woman's heartwarming Tik Tok video will absolutely do the trick. When 19-year-old Chrissy went out to run errands for the day, she wasn't expecting to come across so many people in her community who could speak to her with American Sign Language. "Today I went to three places and at all three, people signed!" Chrissy said excitedly in the video. She then went on to describe her visit to the bank, a local Starbucks, and a pizza restaurant, where she was delighted to find that the people around her could sign, making it easier for her to communicate with them. "It was like a perfect world. It was like a utopia," she said.

September is Deaf Awareness Month, and Chrissy's video sends an important message that learning even a few essential ASL signs can have a huge impact on the Deaf community and those around us who have difficulties communicating verbally. "Very rarely do I have a day like this," Chrissy said in a Twitter post. "I don't really think about how detached I can be sometimes until people around me engage, it's crazy just being able to comfortably chat with everyone made me so happy. I seriously thought I was being pranked or something lol."

A student at the University of California's School of Cinematic Arts, Chrissy is a self-proclaimed Deaf activist and content creator with her own YouTube channel, The Essential Sign.

"I'm Deaf. My whole family is hearing, so I was mainstreamed and did speech therapy for 13 years," Chrissy says on her YouTube "About" page. "At a young age, I recognized my situation and I took the initiative to learn sign language and become involved in the Deaf community. I have communicated with ASL for 8 years (I'm still not perfect) and it has made my life so much more accessible and given me the ability to communicate comfortably. ASL is a language I rely on daily and I do not take it for granted. But Deaf is not all I am, I am currently 19 and in college majoring in Film and Digital Media. I love creating, experimenting and learning. I am using YouTube's platform to talk about my experiences and spread awareness about the Deaf community, ASL, the value of communication, and accessibility."

With a new addition to the big screen adaptation of Stephen King's bone-chilling It now in theaters, that means Pennywise the Clown has also arrived to terrorize us. While the spooky villain appeared more as a standard clown in the 1990 miniseries (crisp white face paint, a red nose, bright red hair, Gwen Stefani in 2000-thin eyebrows), the latest version of Pennywise is significantly more horrifying. So, who's the man underneath the clown's fearsome veneer in It Chapter Two? It's Swedish actor Bill Skarsgard once again!

You might recognize Skarsgard's name thanks to older brother Alexander Skarsgard, famous for True Blood and Big Little Lies or their father, longtime actor and Thor star Stellan Skarsgard. It and its sequel also aren't his first forays into horror. After racking up a host of roles in movies like Simple Simon (for which he was nominated for the Swedish equivalent of an Oscar), Anna Karenina, and Victoria, he starred on all three seasons of Netflix's Hemlock Grove as Roman Godfrey, a half vampire.

Since then, he's gone on to play Matthew in the dystopian YA series Allegiant and German informant Merkel in 2017 spy thriller Atomic Blonde. More recently he popped up as Zeitgeist in 2018's Deadpool 2 and starred in another King adaptation, Castle Rock, on Hulu.

So, while you might feel your heart leap into your throat when you first lay eyes on Pennywise - who's gritty, scarred, and giving new meaning to the phrase "ten-head" - just know that there's a pretty sexy, normal Swedish guy underneath all those prosthetics.
