Microsoft Bing gets a free Sora-powered AI video generator
Microsoft Bing announced today that it is introducing the Bing Video Creator to its app, which uses OpenAI's Sora model to let users generate videos from text prompts.
OpenAI, which has a longstanding partnership with Microsoft, has locked down access to Sora's video generation for paying customers only. Its integration in Microsoft Bing represents the first time that it will be available for free.
At launch, Bing Video Creator is not yet available on desktop, and videos can take hours to generate, even when using the "fast" mode, which is supposed to take just a few minutes.
All users, so long as they are logged into a Microsoft account, can use the Bing app to create ten video clips at no cost. Then, users have to pay 100 Microsoft Rewards points per video. These points are awarded from searching with Bing or making purchases at the Microsoft Store -- for example, 5 points are awarded for each PC search using Bing, with a cap at 150 points per day.
Users can queue up to three five-second video generations at a time -- as of now, there's no way to change the length of the video. So far, videos can only be generated in a vertical 9:16 aspect ratio, perhaps priming users to share their AI creations on TikTok or Instagram. But soon, horizontal 9:16 uploads will be available as well.

Anna Camp hits back at criticism of age gap with girlfriend Jade Whipkey
Anna Camp is hitting back against criticism of her relationship. The "Pitch Perfect" star, 42, took to the comment section on Instagram last week to defend her budding romance with stylist Jade Whipkey, 24. "I've dated men exactly my age and Jade is FAR more mature than any of them," she wrote, of the pair's 18-year age gap under a post from PinkNews. Rebel Wilson, Anna Camp reveal wedding fiascos: 'Almost ruined' the day "We have more in common than anyone else I've ever dated and can literally talk about anything and everything," she continued. "Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and I'm wishing everyone well :) Especially this Pride month." Camp's comments come shortly after the couple's red carpet debut earlier this month. Attending the premiere of "Bride Hard," which saw the actress return to the big screen alongside fellow "Pitch Perfect" alum Rebel Wilson, Camp and Whipkey posed side by side and embraced for the cameras. The moment helped confirm a romance that had been rumored for several months following several cryptic Instagram posts. Camp was previously married to "Pitch Perfect" star Skylar Astin. The couple finalized their divorce in 2019, after less than two years of marriage.

Tesla's robotaxis launch in Texas with 10-vehicle trial run: See photos
Tesla's "fully autonomous" robotaxis made their debut in Austin, Texas this weekend. On Sunday, June 22, a small fleet of Tesla's taxis began offering rides to people in the state's buzzing capital, according to Reuters. It marks the first time Tesla's self-driving cars picked up paying riders. The launch was a "culmination of a decade of hard work," Tesla CEO Elon Musk wrote in a post on his social media platform X. "Super congratulations to the @Tesla_AI software & chip design teams on a successful @Robotaxi launch!!" Musk added. Tesla did the trial run with 10 vehicles in the a neighborhood called South Congress, reported Reuters. While no one was in the driver's seat, a front-seat rider acted as a "safety monitor" during the trial. It is unclear how much control safety monitors had over the car. Some people, however, gathered to show their disapproval of the new self-driving taxis. Photos captured protesters gathered on Saturday with signs that stated, "No Robotaxi in Austin." Proceed with caution: Texas enacts robotaxi rules on the eve of Tesla's Austin rollout See photos from the launch.

Selena Gomez's New Choppy Cowboy Bob Is The Best Way To Wear A Fringe This Summer
Selena Gomez just proved that bobs with bangs are trending this summer, debuting the ultimate 'choppy cowboy bob' via Instagram. The singer traded out her sleek, one-length haircut this weekend, stepping out with a new layered crop, complete with wispy waves and a flattering letterbox fringe. Lo0king for a way to update your lengths for the warmer months ahead? This is how to give this tousled cool girl cut a whirl in 2025. Celebrity hairdresser Melissa Timperley defines the 'cowboy bob' as rugged meets refined. Think effortless texture with a modern finesse. 'Slightly longer at the front with shaggy, undone layers, this cut channels effortless cool with a rebellious edge,' she says. 'It pairs perfectly with curtain bangs or a sweeping fringe, giving it that lived-in, windswept feel. Think city-chic meets desert muse: confident, carefree, and unapologetically stylish.' If you're thinking of recreating the cut yourself, it's best to start by examining your natural texture first. For hair types with a natural movement and wave, air-styling will be your best friend. Thicker heads of hair will be best suited to a nourishing styling cream, while finer hair types can achieve a similar effect with a thinner mousse texture; this will add volume and shape without adding extra weight to the hair. Gomez's new 'cowboy bob' is far from her first experimental hairstyle in recent memory. In fact, the singer has shown herself to be somewhat of a haircut chameleon in 2025. The Rare Beauty founder has sported an array of shorter cuts this year, from flipped 'bellbottom' styles and romantic Hollywood curls, to airy bobs that spotlight her natural texture and graphic pin-straight finishes.
