Jane Fonda, 88, brought classic Hollywood glamour to the Cannes Film Festival once again.

The two-time Oscar winner turned heads Tuesday, May 12, while arriving for the opening ceremony of the 79th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France. For the occasion, Fonda wore a shimmering long-sleeved black gown covered in sequins, paired with a dramatic silver necklace and her signature gray curls styled in voluminous waves.

As photographers lined the iconic red carpet outside the Palais des Festivals, the actress posed confidently in front of a sea of flashing cameras, proving once again why she remains one of Cannes’ most enduring style icons.

Fonda attended this year’s festival as part of her longtime partnership with L’Oréal Paris, which is celebrating her 20th year with the brand during the 2026 festival. The actress is also expected to support the upcoming film Ceasefire, in which she portrays Ambassador Jean Kennedy Smith.

The opening ceremony launched the 79th edition of Cannes with the world premiere of La Vénus Electrique (The Electric Kiss), a French romantic comedy directed by Pierre Salvadori. The festival’s main competition jury this year includes Demi Moore, Chloé Zhao, Ruth Negga, Stellan Skarsgård and jury president Park Chan-wook.

Fonda has a long history with the Cannes Film Festival stretching back decades. In 2007, she received an honorary Palme d’Or recognizing her contributions to cinema, and she previously presented the festival’s coveted Palme d’Or prize in 2023.

The actress has remained a major Hollywood figure across seven decades of film and television. Fonda won Academy Awards for Klute and Coming Home and earned additional Oscar nominations for films including They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?, Julia, The China Syndrome and On Golden Pond.

Beyond acting, Fonda became a cultural phenomenon in the 1980s with her bestselling workout videos before later returning to acclaimed roles in projects like Grace and Frankie, Book Club and 80 for Brady.

Even among Cannes’ endless parade of designer gowns and celebrity appearances, Fonda once again proved she knows exactly how to command a red carpet moment.

Jethro Tull's 1972 classic release, "Thick As a Brick," (accidentally) became a progressive rock anthem. Not only that, the track is the longest rock song ever recorded, lasting over 40 minutes. In fact, it is so long, it's the only one on the entire album.

Written by flute-flailing frontman Ian Anderson, the album’s artwork claimed its contents to be a musical adaptation of a poem by a fictional 8-year-old boy, according to VH1. In a 2022 interview, he described the hit as an "absurdity," admitting that it started as somewhat of a joke.

“When I wrote Thick As a Brick, I tried to approach it in a humorous and satirical way. The whole idea happened very quickly. It was done in a fast and furious period of time," he told Louder Sound at the time. "Some of the elements in the lyrics are quite serious, where I drew upon my own childhood and my own early experiences for ideas for sections within the overall work. But I was also drawing very much on the world of the eight-year-old Gerald Bostock. It was part of the absurdity."

Online, Largest.org ranked the 10 longest rock songs ever, with the Jethro Tull release coming out on top, notching a 43-minute and 50-second run time. "There is also a radio edit version of the song that’s shortened dramatically in order to provide a nice sampling of the music that would fit within the constraints of a radio song. Thick as a Brick is also said to be the first of Jethro Tull’s albums that consisted entirely of progressive rock," the entity noted.

The landmark album became famous for containing the single, 43-minute song split across both A and B sides of its vinyl. It hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 on June 3, 1972, holding the top spot for two weeks. Additionally, it was an international smash, reaching No. 1 in Canada, Australia, and Denmark, and peaking at No. 5 in the UK.

Decades after its release, fans still celebrate the historic track. "A wise man once said, 'Who knew a satire of progressive rock could be one of the best progressive rock albums of all time?'" one wrote in the comments section of a YouTube video.

"Jethro Tull needs to be in the Rock Hall of Fame, who agrees with me! This is a piece of history. I have it on vinyl," another added, with a third chiming in, "The album unfolded into a newspaper. Still have my original. Saw this concert after the album came out. After an hour and twenty minutes, Ian said, 'now for the 2nd song.'"

Pizza Hut is celebrating National Pizza Party Day with a totally cheesy deal, but in the best way.

Ahead of the May 15 holiday celebrating the experience of gathering with loved ones and sharing a pizza, the multinational pizza restaurant revealed it's giving fans an incentive to choose them to cater their upcoming get-together.

In an official statement shared in an email with Parade on Tuesday, Pizza Hut announced a buy-one-get-one-free deal on large pies for National Pizza Party Day.

Pizza Hut Celebrates National Pizza Day With a Limited-Time BOGO Deal

To be clear, Pizza Hut's buy-one-get-one-free offer is valid on large pies (not any other menu items) this Friday, May 15. Which makes sense—it is National Pizza Party Day and not National Pizza Day (observed annually on Feb. 9), National Fettuccine Alfredo Day (Feb. 7), or National Breadstick Day (the last Friday of October).

That said, enjoying the deal requires more than just calling up Pizza Hut or walking into your local franchise on Friday.

Those looking to score the BOGO offer (which saves guests approximately $16 on two pizzas) must order online or via the Pizza Hut app and use code LETSPARTY at checkout.

Mark Consuelos announced to fans that his father, Saul Consuelos, had died on March 23 after a lengthy illness. The Live with Kelly and Mark co-host opens up about the reality of knowing about his father's passing, and finally admitting to himself how much he misses him.

According to People, Consuelos appeared on an episode of iHeartRadio's I've Never Said This Before with Tommy DiDario podcast that was recorded on May 1. The actor reflects on losing his father and admits it "was kind of a brutal five-month saga leading up to him passing. I knew it was happening. We all knew, this is going to happen."

At the time, Consuelo previously revealed that he was able to say goodbye to his father while working on the Broadway production Fallen Angels. He later learned of his death while in tech rehearsals for the production, but admits working on the play was a "welcome distraction."

The TV host adds that he had hoped for his father to have a "merciful exit," and was happy that "it happened that way — very quickly and painlessly." Neither Consuelo nor his family has publicly released details surrounding the cause of death or the illness. During the podcast, the actor admits that despite having tried to prepare for the loss, his father's death hit him hard.

"My father’s a mythical character to me," Consuelos explains. "He’s, like, the best man I’ve ever met. Everything good that I’ve kind of glommed onto of how I carry myself comes from him."

Consuelos also openly shared a heartfelt realization of missing his father. He admits to having never said those words, "Because he’s always been in my life. He’s always been available to me." The memorial service held for his father also made him realize the heartbreaking reality, and admit he will miss "just giving him a hug and holding his hand and just laughing with him. That’s something I’ve never said in my life. I’m going to miss my dad."

Inflation just surged to a three-year high, Hantavirus cases are rising, and just about everything you hear from the current administration makes you want to crawl into bed and cover yourself with a weighted blanket for the rest of the year. But wait! There’s a bright spot. Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, just shared a ‘paws-itvely’ adorable video of her dogs, and instantly, everything is better.

If your day isn’t exactly going well, we have the antidote. Trump’s (Lara, that is) latest Instagram video features a minute and a half of, um, her dogs. The First Daughter-In-Law aptly captions the clip, “90 seconds of my dogs…and further proof that I’m a crazy dog lady.” And yes, she is! 

View this post on Instagram

The video features her pups panting, playing, and going on walks with Lara and Eric Trump’s eight-year-old daughter, Carolina Dorothy Trump. Fans flocked to the post, praising the clip with comments such as, “What would we do without our furbabies,” and, “I get it! I’m a crazy dog lady too! I like dogs more than people!”

Lara Trump Is a Loving Pet Parent

Trump doesn’t just love her dogs; she loves all dogs. The Fox News host sits on the board of Florida’s Big Dog Ranch Rescue. Earlier this month, she publicized the Ridglan Farms beagle release in Wisconsin after abuse allegations against the breeder surfaced. Lara posted a video on Instagram, thanking “everyone who went out of your way to make your voice heard on this,” adding, “This is important stuff, um, you know we can judge societies by how they treat those with no voice and those who are the most vulnerable, and certainly you could put these beagles at Ridglan Farm in that category.”

View this post on Instagram

Of course, Trump doesn’t only advocate for beagles. But as you can see in the video, she has more than one of her own. The former RNC chair went on to say (in the Instagram clip), of her beagle Betty, “She’s totally nuts, and I love every second of it.”

But the pet parenting clips don’t stop there. Back in March, Trump posted a video from New York City, saying, “If you don’t know about the best hidden gems in New York City, I’m about to tell you. Dog parks are the creme de la creme of New York City…This is my space, I’ll be here all day.” And she wasn’t kidding. Dressed to impress, Lara heads into the park to hang out with her furry BFFs. 

So if you need a little pick-me-up, we suggest checking out Lara Trump, the crazy dog lady, and her canine companions.

More than 100 days after Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her Arizona home, investigators may still be quietly working through one of the most critical pieces of evidence in the case. While public updates have remained limited, former FBI Supervisory Special Agent Jason Pack tells Parade that DNA evidence and forensic genealogy could play a major role in eventually uncovering answers—even if that progress is happening far from public view.

One major thing still lingering in the case is the results from the FBI's testing of DNA in the form of human hair. This testing, Pack says, takes time, but could ultimately be the break that everyone has been hoping for.

"One of the most important publicly known aspects of this case appears to be the DNA evidence and the possibility that investigative genetic genealogy could help narrow a suspect pool," Pack says. "If that process is underway, analysts at the FBI Laboratory and partner labs could be painstakingly working through family trees, forensic comparisons and elimination work that takes far longer than television crime dramas would have people believe."

"That kind of work is slow because it has to be right," Pack continues. "Investigators still have to do the work the old fashioned way. Evidence matters. Facts matter. Timelines matter. Real investigations are built quietly. One interview. One timeline. One forensic result at a time. That is why the public should not confuse a lack of headlines with a lack of effort."

Pack tells Parade that some of the "biggest breaks" he's seen have come from following up on an old lead or having a witness remember "one small detail." He's also seen cases where technology "finally" catches up with evidence.

"If investigators are still reviewing evidence, revisiting timelines and pushing forensic analysis forward, then the case is still moving, even if most of that movement happens far from television cameras and social media speculation. And sometimes the most important breakthroughs happen quietly long before the public ever hears a word about them," he adds.

Anyone with information about Guthrie’s whereabouts or who might be responsible for her disappearance is asked to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Planning a trip this summer? Before you finalize your outfits, it’s worth making sure you have the right walking shoes. A comfortable pair of sandals can make all the difference on long sightseeing days, cruise excursions, and airport travel — especially when you want something comfy enough to walk in all day but still cute enough to wear out to dinner later. 

Right now, shoppers are eyeing the Clarks' Calenne Clara Sandals, a comfortable yet stylish option designed for long days on your feet. The supportive wedge style is currently marked down to as low as $34 on Amazon, a steep discount from its original $95 price. They’re available in three colors: black, bronze and navy — so they can match with just about anything. Sizes range from 5 to 12, including half sizes and wide options.

A dependable pair of walking sandals can make a huge difference while traveling, especially when your itinerary includes long sightseeing days and evenings out. Shoppers say the Clarks' Calenne Clara Sandal delivers all-day comfort and versatile style, making it an easy addition to any summer packing list.

The stylish sandals feature a strappy silhouette with subtle metallic stud accents and a supportive 2.25-inch wedge heel that adds a little lift without sacrificing stability. They’re also built with comfort in mind, thanks to Clarks' materials — a hidden high-rebound foam inlay is designed to absorb impact and provide support with every step. 

Shoppers who spend hours on their feet said the comfort really stands out. “They were extremely comfortable and soft to walk on,” one reviewer shared, while another noted that the sandals offer “good arch support.”

Another detail shoppers appreciated is the adjustable fit. With three hook-and-loop straps that can be tightened or loosened throughout the day, the sandals are easy to customize as needed. Several reviewers said this was especially helpful during travel and long walking days, with one noting the adjustability accommodated swelling, so they didn’t end up needing to pack a backup pair of shoes.

Long before anyone was making movies about it, the Backrooms was just an image on the internet. A grainy, yellow-tinted photo of an empty office space that someone posted to 4chan in 2019 with a caption that described it as a dimension you could accidentally fall into. What made it unsettling wasn't gore or monsters, but rather the description of infinite empty rooms, flickering fluorescent lights, and the sensation of being completely, profoundly alone. It turned out that feeling resonated with a lot of people.

This week, A24's film adaptation of that viral myth had its world premiere in Los Angeles, and the early word is that the studio may have another genre hit on its hands. Stars Chiwetel Ejiofor and Renate Reinsvewalked the red carpet at the Aero Theatre on May 7 alongside director Kane Parsons and cast members Mark Duplass, Lukita Maxwell, and Finn Bennett. Following the screening, the cast participated in a Q&A before a reception at a nearby hotel.

The early reactions circulating from those in attendance have been enthusiastic. Nearly every response mentions the atmosphere Parsons has created, the unsettling visual logic of spaces that look familiar but aren't quite right. One social media post from The Playlistcalled it 'an unnerving, atmospheric nightmare with outstanding yellow-tinged '90s-core imagery, creepy creature design, and deeply unsettling vibes.' Not everyone was fully won over; some early observers noted the film drags in places. But the overall tone was strongly positive, and the film is widely expected to score well on Rotten Tomatoes when reviews publish closer to its May 29 release date.

Ejiofor plays Clark, a furniture store owner who discovers a strange doorway in his basement and finds himself transported into the Backrooms dimension. Reinsve plays his skeptical therapist, who eventually follows him in. The film was written by Will Soodik and is currently tracking for a $14 to $27 million domestic opening weekend, which would make it a strong performer for a mid-budget original horror film. A24 co-produced alongside Chernin Entertainment.

Parsons' own story makes the film even more interesting. He was 16 years old when he created the YouTube found-footage series that turned the Backrooms into a worldwide phenomenon, racking up nearly 200 million combined views. Now 20, he becomes the youngest director ever to helm an A24 feature. That backstory alone is as compelling as anything in the movie.

Backrooms opens in theaters May 29.

It's common for brands to revive throwback ad campaigns every now and then — especially if they featured big names like, say, William Shatner.

Certain generations can recall the Star Trek star, 95, gracing those Priceline.com TV commercials with the instantly recognizable jingle, "Priceline... Negotiator!"

Kaley Cuoco once joined Shatner for a string of ads along the way — and now, he's officially retiring and passing the torch. A hot-off-the-presses campaign that just went live on social media confirms that there's a new Negotiator in town — and fans will recognize the beloved actor from Marvel hits and more.

Check out the hilarious and peppy Instagram reel below, featuring both Shatner and the man whose moves on display clearly reveal he's right for the role: Randall Park.

View this post on Instagram

Fans have already shown their support for Park's brand-new title in the comments section of Priceline's latest post. "This is iconic," wrote one Instagram user, while another person commented, "The perfect guy to take on the negotiator role!!"

"The Negotiator was never just a character, he stood for fighting to get travelers the deal they deserve," Shatner said in a statement shared with Parade. "Priceline never stopped doing that. It's good to see him front and center again, and Randall brings the right energy for the job."

For those not familiar, Priceline.com is an online travel agency where users can find discount rates for travel-related purchases such as airline tickets and hotel stays. The company facilitates the provision of travel services from its suppliers to its clients. It operates in more than 200 countries and territories around the world and has partnerships with over 400 airlines and 300,000 hotels. Users can search for travel deals and discounts on the website.

Shatner remains busy as ever into 90s, it seems, even maintaining a social media presence — especially amid rumors swirling that he's been shutting down via Facebook. He recently responded online to reports of a supposed "secret sit-down with Paramount/CBS regarding Star Trek or Starfleet Academy" — learn more here.

Four birth months are considered divine and otherworldly: February, March, October, and December. These months embody transcendent energies that connect us to different realms. Their personalities are attuned to heightening their sensitivities and deepening their connection with the universe. People born during these months carry their own emotional, intuitive energies and enhance the aura of those born within them. Read below for more information.

Which Birth Months Are Most Otherworldly?

Check for your birth month.

February 

The personalities of those born in February are reflective and dreamy. They have a keen sense of self, due to their deep emotional nature and imagination, which push them to think beyond the material realms. The ability to connect with spiritual realms and be attuned to others' sentiments can be a heavy burden, but it allows them to see beyond the veil without hesitation. Their psychic disposition grants them the opportunity to transcend to other worlds from an observant, sensitive perspective.

Either an innovative Aquarius or sensitive Pisces, February-borns can easily connect with their intuition and soulful desires; as a result, they have the chance to enhance their capacity to connect with the world, deepen their mystical qualities, and move from the depths of the soul and beyond the surface.

Either a pioneering Aries or a sensitive Pisces, March natives possess a sense of old-soulfulness, enhancing their divinity and drive to connect with other realms.

December 

People born in December are often regarded as having old-soul wisdom. Those born in this month seek to expand their horizons through travel, culture, or education, thereby broadening their intellectual understanding and philosophical perspectives. They believe that knowledge is power, giving them the potential to rise above the ordinary.

December-born individuals strive to break free from karmic cycles and embrace new beginnings, all while bringing light into the lives of others as the darkest days of the year approach. They embody reflection. Although they cannot physically time-travel, themes of nostalgia and reminiscence frequently occupy their thoughts and hearts. By contemplating the past, they find ways to move forward in the present, thereby contributing to their wisdom and allowing them to mature more quickly than their peers.

‘90s Country Music Legend, Jo Dee Messina, just gave her fans the news they've been waiting over a decade to hear: new music is here, and she's hitting the road to celebrate 30 iconic years in country music.

The country powerhouse announced her "Bridges Tour: Celebrating 30 Years of Jo Dee Messina" alongside the release of her first studio album in 16 years. The album, titled "Bridges," drops June 5, 2026 — the same day she takes the stage at CMA Fest in Nashville.

"Hey, I am excited to announce the Bridges Tour!" Messina shared on TikTok, standing in front of an actual bridge. "Do not miss this one. It's gonna be fun, guys. We are announcing it now, and it is happening soon."

The tour kicks off May 28 in Farmington, Pennsylvania, with over 30 dates stretching across North America through March 2027, hitting everywhere from Virginia Beach to Cheyenne to Sioux Falls. If she’s not coming to your town, chances are she’s coming somewhere close. 

For longtime fans who've followed Messina since her "I'm Alright" days in the late '90s, this comeback represents something much deeper than just new songs and a chance to see Messina in concert. It's a full-circle moment 30 long years in the making.

Jo Dee Messina's 'Bridges' Album Reflects 16 Years of Life, Loss, and Growth

The past decade hasn't been easy for Ms. Messina — or any of us, really. She's faced loss, struggle, and sickness that might have broken someone less stoic without something to hold onto. For her, that ‘something’ has been her music, her children, and her faith.

All of it’s woven throughout "Bridges."

"The love, the life, the pain, the fight, the learning - and the living through it all," is how the album's been described, and that vulnerability shows throughout the three tracks released so far.

The latest single, "Can Anybody," just got a music video release and speaks directly to those moments of doubt "when the world feels deafeningly silent," Messina explains. It follows "Don't Let Them Hide Your Beautiful" and "Some Bridges," both of which hint at the emotional journey this album represents.

This isn't just a greatest hits tour with a couple new songs thrown in. This is Messina processing 16 years of life and finally ready to share it with her fans.

Known for her powerhouse vocals and an impressive catalog that includes nine No. 1 hits and 16 Top 40 singles, Messina has earned accolades from Billboard, the ACM Awards, CMA Awards, and AMAs throughout her career. But she's spent the past decade largely out of the spotlight, focusing on what matters most in life.

Now she's back, and the timing couldn't be more perfect — especially after her recent viral American Idol moment surprising contestant Hannah Harper, which reminded everyone why they fell in love with her authenticity in the first place.

The cast of Seinfeld has since moved on to other works after the end of the popular sitcom. Actor Michael Richards has kept out of the spotlight after an incident in 2006, with him having been photographed out and about in California in a rare outing.

According to Page Six, the actor was spotted on Sunday, May 10, in West Hollywood, California. This is the first time the 76-year-old actor has been seen in roughly two years. The actor was seen keeping a low profile, wearing an all-black ensemble and clear-framed glasses.

The last time Richards was photographed was in an even rarer public appearance in support of his co-star Jerry Seinfeld. He joined the comedian on the red carpet in May 2024 for the Netflix premiere of his stand-up special Unfrosted. Before then, Richards had stayed away from the spotlight for eight years prior to the event.

Richards became well-known for playing one of the main character roles as Cosmo Kramer in the iconic sitcom. His character was Jerry's whacky and charming next-door neighbor who quickly became a comedic fan favorite. Following the end of the sitcom in 1998, Richards appeared in various TV guest roles, such as The Michael Richards Show.

In 2006, the actor's career took a hit when he was filmed hurling racial slurs at the audience while performing at the Laugh Factory in California. The backlash he received from the video going public led him to retire from stand-up and step away from Hollywood. He addressed what occurred in Seinfeld's Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee talk show years later. He also addressed the issue while promoting his new book on the Today show, saying, "I canceled myself out."

Since the incident, Richards has kept a lower profile but continues acting. He played a voice role in the Bee Movie and plays a role in the 2019 film Faith, Hope & Love. In 2009, the actor returned to TV, appearing as himself in three episodes ofCurb Your Enthusiasm. It was also the first time he reunited with his Seinfeld co-star since the series ended. His latest work was playing the role of Frank in the sitcom Kirstie.

This year, the Eurovision Song Contest celebrates its 70th year. Arguably one of the most successful things to come from the contest's seven-decade-long history is ABBA.

The Swedish supergroup found themselves thrust into fame after they won the contest in 1974. The quartet — Benny Andersson, Anni-Frid Lyngstad, Agnetha Faltskog, and Bjorn Ulvaeus — won over the international juries at the Eurovision finale in Brighton with an iconic rendition of their now-iconic hit, "Waterloo".

In 2021, almost fifty years later, the musicians once again made history with a greatest hits compilation album that spent a record-breaking amount of time in the charts.

First released in September 1992, ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits spent a whopping 1,000 weeks in the Official Albums Chart Top 100, becoming the first-ever album to hit this United Kingdom chart milestone.

The album spent 19 years and 12 weeks in the top 100, and a total of 17 weeks at number one between its release on September 21, 1992, and the record-breaking day in July 2021. Since its initial release, the record has been rereleased numerous times, including a special 30th anniversary edition in 2022.

Featuring some of ABBA's most notable hits including "Dancing Queen," "Mamma Mia," and, of course, "Waterloo," ABBA Gold: Greatest Hits has sold over 32 copies worldwide.

It remains the second biggest-selling album in UK history, behind Queen's Greatest Hits, per the BBC.

 Upon hearing the news, musician Andersson joked that the achievement "not bad for four old turnips,"

The album is the music group's most successful to date, and even outsold other best-selling records such as Voulez-Vous and Arrival. It also saw a new wave of interest in the band, and following is release, ABBA's hits inspired a Broadway musical and two movies with an all-star cast that includedMeryl Streep, Amanda Seyfried, and Pierce Brosnan.

In September 2019, Pitchfork said it the "definitive example, external" of the greatest hits format.

"To have racked up 1,000 weeks on the Official Albums Chart, a solid 20 years of chart presence, is quite remarkable," said charts boss Martin Talbot. "It not only highlights [Abba's] incredible popularity, but just how closely they have connected with a succession of new generations."

Avengers, assemble! Bucky Barnes/Winter Soldier actor Sebastian Stanhas just confirmed that his girlfriend, Annabelle Wallis, is pregnant, and the internet is absolutely losing it over the news that the Marvel Cinematic Universe star is about to be a new dad.

Speaking with Deadline, Stan confirmed that Wallis is expecting the couple's first child together and shared, "I want to be a good dad."

Deadline's Instagram posts about the interview are flooded with comments from fans who are delighted by the news. One comment reads, "Im so happy to see he's in the best moment professionally and personally ❤️ he's gonna be, not just a good dad, he'll be THE BEST ❤️." Another says, "Yep, he’s gonna be such a great dad 🥹."

Several comments are also simply images of characters and actors celebrating, including clips from New Girl and gifs of Stan's MCU costars, such as Anthony Mackie, dancing.

However, other posts regarding the news have been met with quite a bit more heartbreak from fans. On Comic's Instagram post about the news, one commenter wrote, "just fell to my knees" (and that comment currently has more than 1,000 likes). Like the Deadline post, this post is also full of gifs, although many of these show characters crying. More than one gif also includes the text, "It should have been me."

Despite the heartbreak of some commenters who are expressing a bit of jealousy over the news, many fans are celebrating this exciting update from the actor. At present, Wallis has not commented publicly on her pregnancy, and outside of the interview with Deadline, Stan has not shared additional information either.

In addition to growing his family, Stan has a few exciting projects in the works, including his confirmed upcoming appearance in Marvel's newest Avengers movie, Avengers: Doomsday, which will hit theaters on December 18, as well as his recently confirmed role in The Batman - Part II, for which many suspect he will be playing the role of Harvey Dent.

Dunkin' fans can now skip the drive-thru to grab their favorite Dunkin' Refresher, as customers can now enjoy the recipes more easily at home with the nationwide launch of a new retail line.

Dunkin'Refreshers Singles To Go! slowly began rolling out at the end of last year as an online exclusive, but it wasn't until today (May 12) that the product—a result of a partnership with Jel Sert, a family-owned company whipping up dessert and drink mixes as well as freezer bars—was formally confirmed to be heading to more retailers.

"With Dunkin' Refreshers Singles To Go!, we set out to deliver a flavor experience that fans expect and love from Dunkin' Refreshers," Ken Wegner, president at Jel Sert, said of the collaborative release. "Early consumer response shows that when you get the flavor and function right, it changes expectations for what a drink mix can be."

More thrills and chills are headed to Broadway this Fall!

After successful runs in Washington, D.C., Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and London's West End, the 2007 cult horror franchise Paranormal Activity is finally coming to New York City. Jason Blum, CEO and founder of Blumhouse Productions and original producer of the Paranormal Activity movie franchise, will also help produce the Broadway adaptation titled Paranormal Activity — A New Story Live on Broadway.

Deadline reports that the Broadway version of Paranormal Activity will feature an inspired "original story" about two new characters—James and Lou—who have never appeared in any of the Paranormal films. Writer Levi Holloway promises Broadway audiences a horrifying experience in the best way. "That they'll be immersed in the waking nightmare we've had the privilege to make is the stuff of dreams. I offer it's unlike any else on the American stage right now; a work of horror, heart, and absolute mischief borne from one of the most profound collaborations of my career," he says.

A limited Broadway preview of Paranormal Activity — A New Story Live on Broadway will take place from July 11 to July 30, before the show takes over the Great White Way in August for a 20-week run. The famed August Wilson Theater will host this eagerly awaited production. According to Deadline, casting "will be announced at a later date."

The first Paranormal Activity film premiered in 2007 and quickly became a box office sensation. It established itself as one of the most iconic found footage movies in the genre, alongside The Blair Witch Project and the V/H/S franchise. Paranormal Activity received an Independent Spirit Awards nomination in 2009 for Best First Feature and has since spawned seven spinoff films. The latest installment, Paranormal Activity 8, is planned for release in 2027.

Back in 2012, English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeranwas busy on tour with Irish band, Snow Patrol. Johnny McDaid, instrumentalist and background vocalist for the band, had a three-note piano loop recorded on his laptop. Sheeran began humming the lines, "loving can hurt, loving can hurt" to the loop, and not 10 minutes later, the song Photograph was born.

“I wrote it with Johnny from Snow Patrol and he just had a loop on his laptop that he just put down that was just a three-note piano thing and I just started singing over that 'loving can hurt, loving can hurt', and then the song just kinda fell out within about ten minutes. It was pretty cool," Sheeran said of the writing experience.

"Photograph" was the first "properly" recorded song from what would go on to be Sheeran's second studio album, x (Multiply). The lyrics of the song depict a long distance relationship, which Sheeran was dealing with at the time while on tour. The simplistic style of the acoustic ballad has been widely praised with critics calling it the "lynchpin line of the whole album."

The song was released in May of 2015 as the fifth and final single from x. It peaked at number 10 in the US and went quadruple platinum in the US and the UK. "Photograph" would go on to be one of the top 20 most streamed songs of 2015 according to Spotify.

Sheeran was well aware he had a hit on his hands saying, "I think ["Photograph"] will be the one that will change my, kind of, career path."

11 years later, the song is still a popular one and for good reason. The simple melody and message is one that anyone can relate to, and continues to withstand the test of time, distance, and the things that bring us together.

Demi Moore, 63, turned heads Tuesday in a windswept red carpet appearance at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival.

The Oscar-nominated actress posed for photographers during the festival’s opening press conference on May 12, where she appeared alongside fellow members of this year’s main competition jury. For the event, Moore wore a strapless white dress covered in colorful polka dots with a matching purse, paired with dramatic Moregenthal Frederics white cat-eye sunglasses and white heels. Gusts of wind sent her dark hair flying as photographers crowded around the Cannes jury photocall.

Moore is serving on this year’s prestigious Cannes Film Festival competition jury alongside filmmaker and jury president Park Chan-wook, filmmaker Diego Céspedes, actor Isaach de Bankolé, screenwriter Paul Laverty, actress Ruth Negga, actor Stellan Skarsgård, filmmaker Laura Wandel and filmmaker Chloé Zhao.

During the press conference (via ScreenDaily), Moore also weighed in on the growing role of artificial intelligence in filmmaking.

“AI is here, so to fight it is a battle that we will lose,” said Moore. “To find ways we can work with it is a more valuable path to take.”

She also suggested the entertainment industry may not be doing enough to protect artists as technology rapidly evolves.

“Are we doing enough to protect ourselves? I don’t know the answer to that,” continued the actress. “My inclination would be to say probably not.”

Moore returned to Cannes after a major career resurgence fueled by her performance in The Substance (2024). Her role in the body horror film earned Moore her first Academy Award nomination for Best Actress that year, along with a Golden Globe win for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.

The actress first rose to fame in the 1980s with films like St. Elmo’s Fire and About Last Night… before becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest stars in the 1990s thanks to blockbuster hits including Ghost, A Few Good Men, Indecent Proposal and Disclosure.

Outside of acting, Moore’s 2019 memoir, "Inside Out," became a No. 1 New York Times bestseller, and she was recently named People magazine’s “World’s Most Beautiful” woman for 2025.

After years of being off our TV screens, Giuliana and Bill Rancic are back — just in a different way.

Announced on Tuesday, via People, the couple is launching a podcast with the mission to help listeners debunk and solve daily inquiries ranging from health questions to products that you should or shouldn't buy.

"We're going to answer those questions that people need the answers to," Giuliana told the outlet, explaining how the idea for the podcast, aptly named "Bill & Giuliana: The Podcast," was sparked by a personal experience.

"I had my first colonoscopy this past year, and when I first had my first few sips of the prep, I'm like, 'This isn't bad. What's everyone complaining about?' By that night, I was crying, like, 'I can't finish it!'" she recalled. "At two in the morning, I'm desperately searching online for answers like, 'Do I have to finish my prep?'"

 "And the next afternoon, I was talking to Bill, like, 'You know what would be a fun podcast? Like us, just answering these questions about things everyone is always Googling, like 'Do you have to finish your colonoscopy prep?'"

As for Bill, he explained that they'll also use the podcast as a platform to help listeners be more discerning customers when it comes to products advertised on social media, as he admitted he "falls for all the Instagram reels."

While the couple is making their first foray into the podcast space, they're no stranger to media and putting their lives out there. Their reality show, Giuliana and Bill, which ran from from 2009-2014, and addressed important issues including the longtime host's battle with breast cancer and infertility — which is something they're looking to do with the podcast as well.

"People are always like, 'Bring back the show, bring back the show!' And we've been waiting for the right platform to kind of do it in a different form, and this just seems like it," she said.

Giuliana is also, of course, known for her her longtime stint on E! News and as the face of red carpet coverage throughout the years. She married Bill in 2007 and the two share one son, Duke, who is now 14.
