Jelly Roll just hit the red carpet of a special event, showing off his slimmed-down figure—and fans can barely recognize him after his major weight loss.

Ahead of Music's Biggest Night, the country crooner attended the 68th Grammy Awards Pre-Grammy Gala at The Beverly Hilton on Saturday, Jan. 31, in Beverly Hills, Calif., rocking a suave new look that had his longtime supporters doing a double take.

In photos from the event, the "Wild Ones" singer looked like a completely transformed man from head to toe, dressed for the occasion in an all-black ensemble comprising a velour blazer worn over a plain tee, paired with black denim and matching cowboy boots tucked under his jeans. He accessorized with a glitzy chain and a bracelet on each wrist.

The 41-year-old's wife, Bunnie XO, accompanied the music star for the outing, with the Dumb Blonde podcaster opting for a sleeveless metallic, pewter-colored body-hugging mermaid style dress featuring a high neck.

Fans on social media reacted to Jelly Roll's public appearance, with one pointing out, "Wow he looks soooooooo different," in the comments section of a video shared by Good Morning America's official Instagram account.

"@jellyroll615 is glowing and showing off his 275+ pound weight loss," Music Mayhemcaptioned a separate post. The "Save Me" artist has opened up about his health journey since the very beginning, recently admitting it has changed him “in every way."

"Spiritually, I’ve gotten closer to God. I’ve gotten closer to myself. I’m a better father. I’m more present with my children. You should see it, dude. I mean, I’m coaching my son’s basketball team this year… I just feel physically better, and I feel like I can physically do it,” he told Extra earlier this month.

Jelly Roll is nominated in three categories at the 2026 Grammy Awards: Best Contemporary Country Album for "Beautifully Broken," Best Country Duo/Group Performance for "Amen" with Shaboozey, and Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song for "Hard Fought Hallelujah" with Brandon Lake.

The 68th Annual Grammy Awards takes place on Sunday, Feb. 1 at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, Calif. The show will air live on CBS and stream via Paramount+.

Even though the film Clueless premiered over 30 years ago, Paul Rudd is still remembered for his role as the charming college student Josh. However, he nearly lost the role because of a haircut.

During a December 2025 interview on TODAY with Jenna and Sheinelle, Rudd was asked to confirm that he almost wasn't cast as Josh because he got a different haircut. Rudd replied that he had auditioned for the role with longer hair, which he described as "grunge-y." He then explained that he got an impromptu buzzcut after the audition.

"I didn't think about it after I auditioned for it. I was down the street and I walked past a barbershop and said, 'Just buzz it.' And they went and cut off all my hair," said Rudd during the interview.

He said that he happened to run into the film's director and screenwriter, Amy Heckerling, after his haircut.

"Then about a week after that, I went to a restaurant and saw Amy Heckerling, the director. She said, 'What did you do to your hair? You were in the running for this part,'" said Rudd in the interview.

He then shared that he was put "in wigs" during his screen test.

"It didn't look right," recalled Rudd.

Eventually, he was hired for the part, despite his shorter hair.

Paul Rudd Commented on the Upcoming 'Clueless' Show

Variety reported that a Clueless sequel series is in the works on Peacock. In a December 2025 interview with Entertainment Tonight, Rudd was asked if he was going to reprise Josh for the show.

“I don’t know. I don’t think so," said Rudd in the Entertainment Tonight interview.

He said, however, that the news of the Clueless Peacock show was "exciting."

Alicia Silverstone, who starred in Clueless as Cher Horowitz, briefly mentioned the sequel series, which she's executive producing, in an August 2025 interview on Sam Roberts' Show. She said that the Peacock show is "in such early baby stages." The actress, who is playing Cher again, also said she believes fans of the original movie will enjoy the upcoming series.

These chunky gold-tone hoops feature an inlay of multi-colored stones and pearl accents. They measure about 0.9 inches in diameter and are made from gold-tone mixed metal with reconstituted stone and acrylic pearl. A post-back closure keeps them secure and comfortable for all-day wear.

The overall vibe feels like boho-luxury thanks to their unique design. They blend the bold structure of classic hoops with earthy textures and subtle shine, giving them an expensive yet artisanal feel. They fit right into coastal-grandmother style, but also work for bohemian chic and quiet luxury wardrobes. One shopper called them “beautiful” in a five-star review.

Styling them is easy since they’re statement-making but still neutral. Try them with a slicked-back bun and crisp white button-down for a clean-girl look, or pair them with linen, silk, or chunky knits to highlight the natural stone texture. Since the earrings bring plenty of detail, keep necklaces simple or skip them altogether.

Hard rock isn't always about headbanging...sometimes it's about having a good cry.

Last year, Music Minds ranked the "Top Saddest Rock Songs Ever Written," and anyone searching for a tune to match a blue mood need look no further than this sob-worthy list.

Nearly every decade and sub-genre of rock was represented, from Metallica's "Nothing Else Matters" (1991) at #16 to Fleetwood Mac's "Landslide" (1975) at #9 to Dire Straits' "Romeo and Juliet" (1980) at #3, but a fan-favorite hard rock ballad from the '70s that never even hit the charts took the top spot.

Beating out Thin Lizzy's "Borderline" (1976) in second place was Deep Purple's "Soldier of Fortune," which appeared on the 1974 album Stormbringer.

Why did "Borderline" win sad crown? As the Music Minds article put it, this "bluesy outlier" in the Deep Purple song catalogue "captures that specific emptiness of life after purpose has left the building."

"David Coverdale’s voice — usually deployed for rock heroics — here becomes the vessel for muted devastation," the article continued. "The acoustic arrangement creates a late-night confessional atmosphere, as if the song exists in those quiet hours when defenses fall and truth rises."

"Soldier of Fortune" was written by Deep Purple frontman David Coverdale and guitarist Ritchie Blackmore, who called the track one of his "favorite songs" in the biography Black Knight by Jerry Bloom, noting, "It's got a few of those medieval chords."

Coverdale is also clearly a big fan of the tune, as his band Whitesnake covered "Soldier of Fortune" regularly live and even recorded a studio version for their 2015 album The Purple Album, later releasing it as a single.

In an interview shared by Whitesnake TV, Coverdale recalled bringing the idea of covering "Soldier of Fortune" to guitarist Joel Hoekstra — and being subsequently blown away by what he did with the song.

"I played him 'Soldier of Fortune,' discussed the ideas that I had about it...I said, 'Look, go and do what you do,' and he came back with the most beautiful treatment, as you can hear on the record," Coverdale recalled.

For a song that was never considered a big hit, "Soldier of Fortune" still went on to become legendary in its own melancholy way.

Costco and Nike are making waves in unexpected ways this year, catching shoppers off guard and sparking chatter across social media. Fans of sneakers and deal hunters alike have been keeping a close eye on the warehouse giant, hoping to spot the latest items that blend practicality with a dash of hype. Early reports show that the drop is already creating long lines and heated online discussions.

A Sneaker Drop Nobody Saw Coming

The new Kirkland Signature x Nike SB Dunk Low Pro QS was just dropped at select Costco warehouses. The sneakers are part of a collaboration that combines Costco’s iconic private-label branding with Nike’s streetwear know-how.

The sneakers feature a soft grey colorway inspired by Costco’s popular hoodies, with a Kirkland Signature logo on the heel and tongue, plus a hidden nod to Costco’s $1.50 hot dog under the insole. Priced at $134.99, the shoes were released in select U.S. locations including New York, California, Washington and Oregon, and are limited to one pair per member, making them a hot commodity from the moment they appeared.

Shoppers like @soleretriever have taken to social media to share their finds. The combination of exclusivity, clever branding and high-quality materials has made these Dunks instantly coveted. Within hours of the surprise drop, pairs were listed on resale sites for over $300, with some already approaching prices in the thousands. The sudden spike highlights the mix of nostalgia, humor and hype culture driving demand for this unexpected collaboration.

Why the Hype Isn’t Slowing Down

Several factors are fueling the frenzy around the Kirkland Nike SB Dunk Low. First, there’s the ironic “dad shoe” appeal. The understated grey aesthetic fits into casual streetwear trends, while the funny details—like the Executive Membership-inspired hangtag—make the shoes a conversation starter. Fans appreciate the nods to Costco culture, from the insole hot dog graphic to the hoodie-inspired colorway, which give the sneakers a playful twist.

The collaboration also taps into Costco’s reputation for value and quality. Kirkland products are known for their durability and smart price-to-quality ratio, and bringing that reputation to a Nike sneaker adds both credibility and collectibility. Plus, scarcity is driving resale prices up, creating urgency for anyone hoping to snag a pair. Limited drops, especially surprise ones, are a tried-and-true method for generating hype in the sneaker world.

Whether you’re a sneakerhead, a Costco fan or just someone curious about viral trends, the Kirkland x Nike SB Dunk Low is a perfect example of how exclusivity, humor and brand mashups can ignite a shopping frenzy.

Michael J. Fox isn't thinking far into the future, he's thinking about the now.

The iconic actor, 64, reflected on the legacy he wants to leave behind during an interview with the Los Angeles Times published on Wednesday (Jan. 28). Although the actor has made a lasting mark on the world of entertainment and philanthropy, he says he doesn't spent time harping on it.

"I'll be dead," Fox replied when asked about his legacy. "My late father-in-law wrote a book once called Die Broke. The theory being spend all your money now. I don’t mean just money. Your gift, your nectar."

Fox continued, "Spend it all now, and spend it on your kids, on people you love. I don’t think about legacy...Legacy is other people’s business; my business is to live my best life, do the best I can, the best work I can, seize opportunities...to write my story until the pin drops."

As for the Michael J. Fox Foundation, which aims to find treatments and a cure for Parkinson's disease, the actor says their mission will continue long after he's gone—although he hopes that a cure will be found in his lifetime.

"Certainly, the foundation will be around and our work will continue. It’d be nice to have it done before I die, but I don’t know if that will happen. We’re certainly getting closer," Fox concluded.

Elsewhere in the interview, Fox opened up about the future of his acting career and whether he plans to come out of retirement, given his recent role on Shrinking. Fox explained that he purely took the role for the love of the show, not because he wants to revive his career.

"The depth of character, the quality of relationships, the language—it’s just a beautiful show," he told the outlet. "And I thought, just do that for its own sake. I don’t have an agenda. Don’t have to be coming back into acting or anything. It’ll be fun."

Jimmy Fallon continues to welcome red-hot guests onto The Tonight Show.

Next week, after their highly anticipated Grammy Awards performance, KATSEYE will make their late-night debut on the NBC's celebrated talk show, Billboard confirms. The beloved global girl group will sit down with Fallon, 51, on the Wednesday, Feb. 4 show.

During the sit-down, Katseye is set to announce details connected to an “exciting new partnership,” Billboard also noted on Saturday, Jan. 31. Wednesday’s Tonight Show episode will also feature interviews with actor Ethan Hawke (Oscar-nominated for Blue Moon) and NFL star Myles Garrett. And viewers can expect a performance by Nick Jonas.

Fallon teased Katseye's upcoming appearance in a clever — and cryptic — social media post earlier this week. The funnyman is captured eating zucchini, and fans of the girl group know that their recent song “Internet Girl” features the memorable lyric, "Eat zucchini, eat zucchini." See below.

Fans erupted in the comments section of Fallon's recent Instagram post, clearly eager to see the Grammy-nominated group grace The Tonight Show. "You just told me they’re gonna be on the show, so if they dont appear im telling my mom on you," wrote one user (a comment that has been "liked" 1,110 times), while another person wrote, "OMG KATSEYE?! YEAHH."

In the meantime, fans cannot wait to see the talented girls grace the stage of music's biggest night on Sunday, Feb. 1. Katseye is also nominated in two categories for the 2026 Grammys ceremony — Best New Artist and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for "Gabriela" — in addition to performing. All eight best new artist nominees will perform on the show.

For those not familiar, Katseye formed on the 2023 reality competition series Dream Academy. The group consists of:

• Sophia Laforteza
• Lara Raj
• Daniela Avanzini
• Yoonchae Jeung
• Megan Skiendiel
• Manon Bannerman

Katseye also made headlines this month after teaming up with Laneige for a new product launch. The new product, JuicePop Box Lip Tint, is basically a comfy, glossy lip tint that lasts up to 12 hours without drying your lips. See the ad spot below.

Luke Thompson is finally taking a wife—on Bridgerton, that is.

The fourth season of the hit Netflix drama follows bachelor Benedict Bridgerton as he meets the enigmatic “Lady in Silver” at his mother’s masquerade ball and finds himself newly intent on settling down—if only he can uncover her identity.

Offscreen, Thompson's romantic life, which he keeps strictly off-limits to the public, is almost as mysterious as his Season 4 storyline. “[It’s] not out of a sense of secrecy or privacy,” he said of his guarded approach. “It’s very specifically to do with the job—the job is to let people imagine things about you. If you start giving huge chunks of yourself to people, it can get in the way of what needs to happen, which is that people need to be able to fantasize.”

Alas, as Benedict steps into the spotlight, the question of whether Thompson has a wife, girlfriend or confirmed partner in real life is going to come up—whether the British actor likes it or not. Here’s what Thompson has let slip about his relationship history so far.

Does Luke Thompson have a wife?

As far as the public knows, Thompson doesn’t have a wife. He does seem open to the idea of marriage, or at least long-term commitment, though. When speaking about his Bridgerton character’s notoriously philandering ways, he compared playing the field to browsing in a bookstore.

“You think, ‘Where do I start? I want to read all of them,’” Thompson said. “And obviously in your life, you can’t read all the books. You have to pick the ones that make sense at the time. And some might be good, and some might be bad, and some will really change your life, but you can’t read all of them. Similarly, I think that’s true with relationships. I think that speaks to Benedict."

While his character's desire to give love freely is “nice up to a point,” Thompson continued, “after a while, it stops you from building anything meaningful.”

Are Luke Thompson and Harriet Cains still together? 

Still together? Technically, there’s no confirmation that they were ever together. But the evidence is compelling.

Speculation about a possible romance between the Bridgerton costars began after Thompson and Cains were spotted looking cozy at a January 2024 Vanity Fair Rising Stars event. Cains, who plays Philippa Featherington, also shared a photo of the two of them on the carpet.

After the sighting, fans resurfaced a flirtatious (or at least quite playful) post from 2021, in which Cains jokingly crowned Thompson her favorite “Luke” on Bridgerton, a nod to the fact that the show also stars Luke Newton as Colin Bridgerton.

Still, despite the buzz, neither Thompson nor Cains has publicly confirmed a romantic relationship. If only Lady Whistledown had a Substack!

Is Luke Thompson dating his Bridgerton co-star?

Thompson was rumored to be dating Bridgerton co-star Harriet Cains after the pair made a handsy appearance together at Vanity Fair’s Rising Stars event in January 2024, but neither party ever confirmed they were dating, and there haven’t been hints at a romance since. 

In a 2021 interview with The Telegraph, Thompson said it’s “not surprising quite a lot of [co-stars] do end up [dating],” because they’re tasked with creating chemistry on-screen. "[I]t's a very strange job, you're bringing yourself, and you're not,” he said. “By its nature as a job it's quite muddy.”

Does Luke Thompson have a girlfriend? 

When it comes to his relationship status, Thompson is a vault, so whether or not he has a girlfriend is anyone’s guess. But despite being so famously tight-lipped about his personal life, he has admitted to being comfortable as a sex symbol. "Look, if people are interested in me at all, that's wonderful—that's why you want to be an actor,” he said. “You want to live in people's imaginations." 

But in their imaginations is where he'd like to stay. "It's a great pleasure as an actor to feel people take you on," he explained. "It's like you become theirs. People want to know how much is true. …There's a yearning to communicate on both sides, but it has to remain unfulfilled. It's like The Creation of Adam in the Sistine Chapel—the fingers don't quite touch."

Is Luke Thompson on Instagram? 

As you might have guessed, he’s not. While Thompson has acknowledged that social media can be tempting—“for many actors, it’s an ingenious way of continuing the performance,” he’s said—he’s ultimately chosen to stay logged off.

The decision, he explains, is less about resistance and more about self-preservation. “I’ve realized that a constantly updating platform is not equipped to deal with; it takes a sledgehammer to my attention span. And I want to be able to focus when I need to.”

That choice also reflects the way he handles with fame more broadly. “I don’t really find [fame] weird. I think it can be,” he said. “I feel it’s more of a choice than people make it out to be. If you want to stay private, you can do it. It’s a trade-off, though—you do have to turn down some things you might quite like to do. But I don’t buy that it’s something you’re simply subjected to.”

Kim Kardashian is known for her collection of pop culture memorabilia she's purchased at auction but one piece stands out above the rest as the most special—her father's Bible.

Last year, the reality star and Skims founder revealed that she had purchased the Bible that previously belonged to her late father, Robert Kardashian Sr., from an auction hosted by the estate of O.J. Simpson. At some point before his passing, Robert had gifted the book to Simpson and it was filled with his own notes.

But winning the auction was no small feat. During an appearance on her sisterKhloé Kardashian's Khloé In Wonder Land podcast on Wednesday (Jan. 28), Kim looked back on the experience and revealed that the auction went for over 12 hours.

While Kim did attempt to purchase the Bible directly from O.J. Simpson's estate before the auction went live, her offer was declined and she was forced to fight for the book.

"We were going for 12 hours straight in Hawaii. And once you bid, it pushes it 30 minutes. Once you do a last bid, it pushes the auction 30 more minutes on certain auction houses. And so 12 hours we were fighting and fighting and fighting and they wouldn't let up," Kim said.

She continued, "And I was like, 'Who wants it that badly? This is amazing, is someone trying to get us this Bible?' I thought, 'Who else would want this Bible?'"

Kim admitted that for a moment she thought it could have been a family member or even Khloé bidding, as the sisters had previously accidentally gotten into a bidding war for an item they both wanted to purchase.

"When I got dad's Bible that he gave to O.J., I thought you were outbidding me. I thought someone was outbidding me...Please person, reveal yourselves," Kim said.

While it's unclear who was bidding against Kim, it had been publicly revealed that she was trying to buy the item prior to the auction. At one point, emails were leaked with information about Kim's attempt to purchase it from the estate—causing more people to be interested in entering their own bids.

"I get the game, but I definitely don’t wanna be used in that situation," Kim revealed on The Kardashians. "So, we used an alias to bid on the bible so that my name wouldn’t be traced back to it."

In the end, Kim paid over $80,000 for the Bible before giving it to Khloé as a gift.

Actress Kelli Giddish has a regret about her time on the NBC series Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, and it involves her castmate, Ice-T.

While speaking to Peoplemagazine, Giddish, who became a Law & Order: SVU full-time cast member again during its current 27th season, discussed her co-star and friend, Mariska Hargitay. Giddish described Hargitay, who has played Law & Order: SVU character, Olivia Benson, since the show's first season, as "a great businesswoman." She then said that she has regretted not imploring Hargitay to impart her knowledge about business.

Giddish clarified that's not her only regret regarding the Law & Order: SVU cast. Giddish shared that she wished she had been "writing down at least one quote from Ice-T every day."

"I should have written it down. I worked with him every day in and out for so many years and I'm like, 'I should have a whole journal!'" said Giddish, who began starring as Amanda Rollins during the 13th season of Law & Order: SVU in 2011.

Ice-T Has a Limited Role on 'Law & Order: SVU' Season 27 Because of Kelli Giddish's Return

Giddish hasn't been a main Law & Order: SVU cast member since its 24th season, which aired in 2022, per IMDb. While speaking to TMZ in November 2025, Ice-T explained that fans will see less of his character, Odafin “Fin” Tutuola, in season 27 because of Giddish's recent full-time return. He clarified that he wasn't upset about his limited role.

"It's basically just business. They brought Kelly back and at the end of the day, they couldn't really keep both of us on full-time, as far as budget-wise. So they said, 'Okay, Ice we'll have you come in and out this year,'" said Ice-T to TMZ.

He also assured Law & Order: SVU fans who have enjoyed his character for the last 27 years that he is "not leaving the show."

In her January 2026 interview with People, Giddish said she was "happy to be back" on Law & Order: SVU.

"It feels really good for all the fans to be that excited and to be happy. I'm very grateful," said the actress to People.

Roberts and Moder, who share three children, have been married for over 23 years but have remained extremely private about their relationship through the years. Most recently, Roberts shared an intimate photo with Moder while they were attending the Venice Film Festival back in August.

View this post on Instagram

The couple celebrated their 23rd anniversary in July, which Moder marked by posting a funny photo of the pair posing in the reflection of a spoon.

"23 years is SILVER..here we are in my engraved SPOON! the fun continues… and a happy 4th to all💥," Moder captioned the image at the time.

The couple originally met in the early 2000s on the set of The Mexican, where Moder was working as a cameraman. While they were both in relationships at the time, they eventually found their way to one another when they were single. They got married in an intimate ceremony on July 4, 2002 on Roberts' property in Taos, N.M.

Even years later, Roberts says the couple are still madly in love—and she always looks forward to their time together.

"Every day my husband walks in the door it’s like a recurring dream," she told People back in 2017. "I’m like, 'Ah, he’s back!'"

Snoop Dogg and his family are grieving the devastating loss of his granddaughter, Codi Dreaux, who has died at just 10 months old.

Snoop’s daughter, Cori Broadus, shared the heartbreaking news on Saturday, January 31, in an emotional Instagram Story. The black-and-white image showed Cori smiling while holding her baby, with text written across it that read, “Monday I lost the love of my life. My Codi,” alongside an angel wing emoji.

Cori’s fiancé, Wayne Deuce, also paid tribute to their daughter on the app, posting photos of himself holding Codi. “I been the saddest since u left me Codi Dreaux. But I know u at peace. Daddy will always love you,” he wrote. He later added simply, “My baby.”

Cori Broadus (@princessbroadus)'s Instagram Story on Saturday, January 31.

Cori previously revealed that her daughter was born three months early. “The princess arrived at 6 months,” she wrote in a February 2025 Instagram post announcing the birth. “Baby girl came at 25 weeks today and she’s perfect as ever!” Cori also shared on her Story that she delivered via emergency C-section after developing HELLP syndrome, a serious pregnancy complication.

Following her premature birth, Codi spent 10 months in the NICU as doctors worked to stabilize her condition. Earlier this month, Cori shared what appeared to be a hopeful milestone, announcing that she had finally been able to bring her daughter home. “She’s home. 🤍,” she wrote on Jan. 6. “Thank you for every prayer, every message, every ounce of love. God heard them all. 🕊️✨.”

In 2024, Cori revealed that she suffered a “severe stroke,” an experience she later reflected on in a trailer for the three-part special Snoop Dogg’s Fatherhood: Cori & Wayne’s Story. “My health was declining,” Cori said in the preview. She recalled the moment doctors explained what had happened, saying, “Doctor comes in, ‘Cori, you had a stroke.’” In the same clip, she added, “I’m hurting. I’m scared. Why is this happening to me?”

Snoop (who’s real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.) is grandfather to 7 kids: Zion, 11, Elleven, 7, Cordoba, 6, Kai (who passed away 10 days after his birth in 2019), Sky, 4, Chateau, 4, and Symphony, 3. 

Dave Grohl turned heads on the red carpet when he arrived with his wife of over 20 years, Jordyn Blum. But it was his performance with Foo Fighters and special guest, Taylor Momsen, that has fans really talking.

While on hand for the 2026 MusiCares Person of the Year event honoring Mariah Carey at the Los Angeles Convention Center on Jan. 30, 2026, Foo Fighters took the stage with Momsen to perform a pair of songs from Carey's unreleased '90s grunge album, Someone's Ugly Daughter.

The album, which was initially released in 1995 by Chick and featuring lead vocals from Clariss Dane, was actually written, produced, and even sung secretly by Carey.

Though the released version doesn't feature any of Carey's vocals, in her 2020 memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey, she revealed that there is a secret, unreleased version of the album out there that she sang on.

So it's only fitting that one of the biggest grunge bands of the '90s would honor Carey at the event by performing her unreleased grunge songs "Hermit" and "Love Is A Scam" alongside singer, songwriter, model, and former actress, Momsen.

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/AslHnTusYa0

The MusiCares performance also served as Foo Fighters' guitarist Pat Smear's return to the stage after breaking his foot. Smear is a known Mariah Carey superfan, so it's no surprise he was ready to play when the band took the stage.

Dave Grohl Hit the Red Carpet with Jordyn Blum

Before hitting the stage with Momsen or posing with her on the red carpet at the MusiCares event, the Foo Fighters frontman made his way past the snapping cameras with his wife.

This marks their first red carpet appearance together in 2026 and one of only a handful of public appearances since Grohl went public in September 2024, admitting to fathering a child outside of his marriage.

In his confession, which was posted publicly, Grohl was committed to fixing his marriage and earning back the trust of his wife and the three daughters they share. Photos of the rock 'n roll couple on the red carpet prove they are still going strong even after the cheating scandal.

With their whimsical design and marshmallow-filled goodness, Hostess’ Peeps Frosted Cupcakes are poised to be a standout snack this Easter. Whether you’re a collector of quirky seasonal treats or just looking for a sweet new dessert to try, these cupcakes are worth a look before they disappear from stores.
