Starbucks Is Closing 250 Locations This Week Due to Underperformance
Pumpkin spice latte season is looking a little different this year, as Starbucks announced today that it plans to shutter approximately 250 locations across North America later this week. The coffee giant shared that, after reviewing its coffeehouse portfolio in North America, it “identified locations where we do not believe we can consistently deliver the experience we want for customers and partners.”

Furthermore, the company stated that it does not “see a path to acceptable financial performance” from the affected locations. The closures represent approximately 1% of Starbucks’ over 18,000 North American locations.
Chief Operating Officer Mike Grams said in a statement that the company is experiencing strong growth in North America, but that while most of its locations are “benefiting from this overall momentum, some coffeehouses continue to underperform.”

Grams highlighted the closures as a “difficult decision,” noting that the company knows “today’s news will be hard for the partners, customers and communities affected.” The executive continued, stating, “We’re speaking directly with impacted partners and will support them through this transition, including transfer opportunities wherever possible. For partners we are unable to place in another coffeehouse, we will provide severance support.”
Affected customers will be directed “to nearby coffeehouses” so they can “continue their Starbucks routines and connections.” The news comes on the heels of an announcement that the company will redesign over 1,000 coffeehouses in North America with “softer seating, textures, beautiful artwork, greenery and local design touches.”

Per QSR, each redesign “prices $150,000 a store” and happens overnight, resulting in zero off-time for the locations. In Q3, Starbucks ended the quarter with a total of 18,371 locations in North America. This marks a 2% decline from 18,734 locations year-over-year, reports the outlet.

You Don't Need a Passport to Get Roman-Style Pizza—Just Head to Target
Frozen pizza has come a long way from being the thing you throw in the oven when nobody feels like cooking. These days, the freezer aisle is starting to look more like a pizzeria menu, and Target just added another option that might make you reconsider your usual delivery order.
Porta, a frozen Italian food brand specializing in handmade Roman-style pizza, has officially landed at Target stores nationwide. And while the trip to your local Target may not be quite as exciting as a flight to Rome, these pizzas are bringing plenty of Italy along for the ride.
😋😋 SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔
The brand, which entered the U.S. market in 2024, is known for using traditional techniques and ingredients sourced from Italy. Its pizzas start with Italian flour from Le Marche and dough that’s slow-fermented for 24 hours before being hand-stretched, topped and flash-frozen.
Yes, you read that correctly—hand-stretched dough. According to the company, “every pizza is hand-stretched, assembled by hand, and flash-frozen at peak freshness to preserve its flavor and texture.”
Additionally, the company sources tomatoes from Campania and the extra-virgin olive oil from Puglia.
In other words, there’s a lot more going on here than red sauce and cheese on a mass-produced frozen crust.
What Porta Pizzas Are Available at Target?PORTA Pizza
Four Porta Roman-style pizzas are now available at participating Target stores and online, each with a suggested retail price of $11.99.
There’s a classic Margherita topped with tomato sauce, fior di latte mozzarella and basil, along with a Pepperoni featuring smoky uncured pepperoni, mozzarella and tomato sauce.
From there, things get even more interesting. There’s a Mushroom & Fontina, which combines mushrooms and fontina with a white, truffle-infused béchamel sauce. And for anyone who likes a little heat on their pizza, the Sweet & Spicy Soppressata comes topped with spicy soppressata, red onions, peperoncini and a drizzle of honey.
The pizzas are made without dough conditioners, preservatives or artificial additives, and that 24-hour fermentation is designed to help develop both the flavor and texture of the crust.
What Makes Roman-Style Pizza Different?PORTA Pizza
Roman-style pizza can actually mean a couple of different things. There’s pizza al taglio, the thicker, airy rectangular pizza baked in trays and sold by the slice throughout Rome. But Porta’s round pizzas take their cues from tonda romana, another distinctly Roman style that’s all about a thin, crisp crust.
If Neapolitan pizza is known for its soft, chewy center and dramatically puffed edges, Roman-style pizza sits at almost the opposite end of the crust spectrum. Tonda romana is rolled or stretched very thin with little to no raised edge, then baked until the crust is crisp and rigid rather than soft and foldable.
That might sound a little like tavern-style pizza, especially to anyone from the Midwest. Both favor a thin, crispy crust, but tavern-style is generally rolled thin, topped all the way to the edge and famously cut into squares. Roman-style pizza remains its own thing, with roots in Rome and a characteristically crisp, cracker-like crust.
Porta puts its own spin on that tradition with dough made from Italian flour, fermented for 24 hours, then hand-stretched and topped. The result is a round pizza designed to deliver that signature Roman crunch rather than the soft, pillowy chew that’s made Neapolitan pizza so popular.

Porta Is Bringing a Little More Italy to the Freezer AisleFounder Cosimo Mammoliti, whose parents immigrated from Italy, created Porta with the goal of bringing the ingredients and craftsmanship you’d expect from restaurant pizza into an easy meal people could make at home.
Landing at Target is a significant expansion for the brand. Porta says its products are now sold at more than 4,500 retail locations across North America, making a Roman-style pizza night considerably easier to pull off without booking a flight.
No, pulling a pizza out of the freezer isn’t quite the same as grabbing one in Rome. But considering the only travel required is a trip through Target’s frozen-food aisle, we’ll take it.

Paris Baguette Is Bringing Sweet Heat to Halloween With Some Spicy Chocolate Treats
Paris Baguette is putting a spicy spin on Halloween with two new treats that pair chocolate with ghost pepper, alongside returning seasonal favorites decorated with ghosts, spiders and gummy worms.
The Halloween menu arrives Oct. 1 and will be available through Nov. 1 at participating Paris Baguette cafés. The lineup includes individual pastries and drinks, cakes and slices, plus a specialty donut box available for catering orders.
The new ghost pepper creations give this year’s menu its biggest twist. Rather than limiting the seasonal selection to Halloween shapes and familiar chocolate-and-cookie flavors, Paris Baguette is adding heat to two chocolate-based favorites.

What Are the New Spicy Halloween Treats at Paris Baguette?Paris Baguette’s two new Halloween creations combine chocolate with ghost pepper. The Ghost Pepper Chocolate Marble Mochi Donut adds a fiery kick to the bakery café’s signature mochi donut, while the Ghost Pepper Iced Hot Chocolate brings the same sweet-and-spicy combination to a cold chocolate drink.
The Ghost Pepper Chocolate Marble Mochi Donut is finished with chocolate marble frosting and ghost pepper for a spicy take on the chewy pastry. It puts the new flavor combination into a handheld dessert, with the chocolate providing the richer base and the pepper supplying the heat.
The Ghost Pepper Iced Hot Chocolate combines rich iced hot chocolate with a fiery ghost pepper kick, giving the familiar chocolate drink a Halloween-season twist. It’s one of the more unexpected additions to the seasonal menu, particularly for a drink typically associated with a sweeter flavor profile.
Both new items are part of the Halloween offerings available beginning Oct. 1. Paris Baguette is pairing them with returning seasonal treats that lean into cookies-and-cream flavors, chocolate desserts and the playful decorations associated with the holiday.
What Other Halloween Treats Does Paris Baguette Have?Paris Baguette
If ghost pepper heat isn’t your thing, don’t worry—Paris Baguette is also bringing back a full lineup of spooky, non-spicy favorites. Decked out in ghosts, spiders and gummy worms, this year’s menu features a mix of playful donuts, festive cakes and nostalgic cookies-and-cream treats. Here is everything else landing on the Halloween menu:
- The Halloween Scream Donut is a King Cream Donut filled with cookies-and-cream filling, then covered in cookies-and-cream white chocolate and finished with chocolate cookie eyes.
- The Spider Mochi Donut gets a cookies-and-cream white chocolate coating, a chocolate sandwich cookie and chocolate drizzle arranged to resemble spider legs.
- The Vanilla Scream Ghost Cake features moist vanilla sponge layered with pastry cream and fresh strawberries. It’s finished with Paris Baguette’s soft cream and decorated with ghosts and chocolate spider webs.
- The Dirt & Worms Chocolate Chiffon Cake layers chocolate chiffon cake with cookies-and-cream soft cream and chocolate cookie crumbs before being topped with gummy worms. The dessert is also available by the slice.
- The Dirt & Worms Frappe turns the same theme into a drink, combining a cookies-and-cream frappe with chocolate cookie crumbs and gummy worms.
For Halloween gatherings, Paris Baguette is also offering a Halloween Donut Box through its catering program. The assortment contains six Spider Mochi Donuts and six Halloween Scream Donuts, making it an option for parties, offices and other group occasions.

Jeff Probst Explains the Real Reason Behind the Historic 'Survivor 51' 21-Player Cast (Exclusive)
When the 21 castaways of Survivor 51 hit the beach in last night’s two-hour premiere, a blank canvas lay in front of them. They had no idea when they would get buffs, how many tribes there would be, or even what Jeff Probst’s declaration of “permanent uncertainty” meant. The “open era” meant an open book of possibilities — both in front of and behind the camera.
“This was how I addressed the open era. I’m no longer in charge of what we’re doing in any way, shape, or form. I haven’t been for years,” the Emmy-winning host and producer tells Parade in an exclusive interview. “What was really fun in the beginning was I basically called everybody and said, ‘Just write down everything that you loved as a fan.’ There’s no bad idea. There’s no, ‘Oh, that doesn’t really work because we’re supposed to do this.’ There is no ‘supposed to do.’ This is, ‘Yeah. This is it.'”
Indeed, the first three days of the newest season packed in a lot for the castaways and players alike. Lewis Kelly immediately exiled himself from the game, saving himself from being the first boot while simultaneously showing he could hack it out in the jungle (even if he couldn’t literally hack it when it came to chopping down a mast). The “new era” staples of the “Fight for Supplies,” Beware Advantages, and lost votes were nowhere to be found. A straw poll was taken as to whether Final Four firemaking would stay in the game. And a new twist on last season’s game-changing coin flip returned — with stakes that would affect every season moving forward.
Probst spoke with Parade about some of the biggest moments from the Survivor 51 premiere, including how they decided to start with a historic 21 players, his reaction to the possible showmance between Angelica “Jelly” Loblack and Ori Jean-Charles, and how he may have met a possible new host within this season’s castaways.

What led you to decide to cast 21 people on this season? Did you always design the season with 21 castaways in mind?
Here’s exactly what we did. I called Jesse Tannenbaum and said, “51 is going to be the most important season you ever cast.” 50 was very difficult for all of the reasons. I said, “51 has to be so good that people remember this as an entire cast of great players.” And so they started and they felt it. And fortunately, we were lucky. And because of 50, people were also applying. People were like, “I want this!”
So I started this thing with myself. I have my own cheat sheet of notes of things I look for in somebody. Then I started adding the number “51” if I wanted them on. And in my mind, I thought if I can get like 12 or 13 people, it’s a pretty good ratio. I hit 20 pretty fast. Then it grew. I was into the 30s. I’m not kidding. By the time we were done, you can ask anybody on our team. We were like, “We have an abundance of riches.” And then it became, “Okay, who else is going to be on 51?”
We didn’t have a number, 18, 20, anything. And we just started putting people like, “They got to be on 51. They got to be on 51.” Where we ran into the division of who was on 51 and 52 was when we had people who were similar. “He’s a lot like him. He’s on 51. He’s on 52.” And we’re in really good shape for two seasons right now. We just had an abundance of riches. I don’t know how they did it.
The Survivor 51 cast hadn’t watched all of 50 before going out to play. But what do you think about what they had seen influenced the way they played?
Something’s happening with the type of people that are applying. Dev basically said in the episode, “I’m playing this game wide open.” In essence, it’s that idea of, “I want to flip the coin. I want to be the Rick Devens.” We got a lot of people who were inspired by that, not cavalier or risky, but joyful. That’s a great way to put it out. “I want it, and if it gets me voted out, f—k it, I’m gonna lose anyway. That’s the way to play.”
The impact of 50 was huge. And they didn’t see it as pressure. They did see it as opportunity. And when we were with them in pregame, we talked to them right before we started. I said, “Look, here’s the deal. 50 is going to go down as one of the greatest seasons of all time with legends. But that doesn’t mean 51 can’t be great. It’s up to you.” And the truth of Survivor, and you know as probably as well as I do, the game design is in some ways ultimately irrelevant. If you have great people, it’s interesting just watching this group just talk. Their interviews are funny! When you have great game design, then you have really something there. But yes, I think the Survivor 51 players knew, “We’ve been given an opportunity. Yeah. And we’re either gonna be successful, or we’ll be the group that killed the franchise.” And I feel extremely confident that from the premiere to the end of the finale, people are going to go, “It was a really good season.”
Survivor 51 kicked off with a marooning straight out of Borneo. Then, after paddling to shore, the castaways lived as one group for a bit before they were separated into tribes. How did this opening come to fruition?
We wanted to say from the top, “This is not 51, which follows 50. There is no following 50. Yes, there’s a five and a one, but you should just look at the one.” And that’s why the very first idea was we have to do a marooning. It has to be the exact same words I said in Season 1 That’s the exact same script. Literally, the words are exactly the same. And then we intercut a couple of shots from the marooning of Season 1, just as a nod to the audience. This is what we mean. Everything’s in play. That could also mean an editor has a great idea for something we’ve never thought of. Why not?
This was how I addressed the open era. I’m no longer in charge of what we’re doing in any way, shape, or form. I haven’t been for years. But just generally speaking, I would typically design the season with Jimmy Quigley. The two of us would work. We worked on Survivor 50 for a year and a half. This season it was, “Who has something they want?” And someone might say, “I think we go two tribes. Fans want it.” Great, two tribes. “We got 21 players. How about Exile?” Okay, Exile. “When do we do Exile? Do we start like one world, put them all on one beach, and do Exile?” Great. “How are they going to decide? 20 people have to vote.” Great.
There’s no bad idea. There’s no “Oh, that doesn’t really work because we’re supposed to do this.” There is no “supposed to do.” This is, “Yeah. This is it.” Somebody brought up, “We haven’t done a helicopter in a while. What have we done with a helicopter? Well, you’ve been on it. We’ve done it for rewards. Have we ever done a helicopter drop? No.” So we bring the helicopter back, but then we add something new to it: The drop. So that’s where it really freed us up.

Lewis volunteered to go to Exile, then the buffs were given out. I’m curious, how did you do the tribe divisions with the variable of somebody not being a part of the first episode?
There’s only 20 buffs. It says, “One of you will not start the game.” Tribes were then divided. The truth is, we don’t know ahead of time. So we have basic divisions. We’re no longer concerned with even men and women. Don’t care. I fully foresee a season where there’s a lopsided number of one gender.
But with Exile, how we produce that is: You have your tribes basically laid out. And then you wait, and you see who they kick out, who went to Exile. “Okay, we should probably swap this person over here. That’s a pretty fair trade.” And then you drop the buffs, and you know it’s on. So it’s an in-the-moment live decision. You’re just trying to get close to whatever player might be based on their decision. But we had no idea who was going to go. And Lewis had no idea Exile’s hardcore!
Before the tribes were divided, we see Jelly and Ori with the kindling of a possible showmance. Did you foresee this at all based on what you saw of them in casting?
No. But I heard through our producers, “Jelly and Ori had a cool connection. And there’s a great alliance that’s forming. It’s Jelly and Ori and Aaliyah and Sharonda and Devin.” That’s Day 1, 20 minutes in. Yeah. But that’s what I hear. I don’t hear, “Wow. There’s a lot of chemistry between Jelly and Ori. That’s one of 800 things that happened.”
But when you see the scene 20 minutes into the episode, you think, “Whoa!” Not only is that really exciting, what does it say about the players? What does it say about the players we put on? Jelly is willing to say in an interview, “I didn’t know this was going to happen, but I might be wifed up by the end of this show.” To me, that’s the woman who wants to flip the coin. She’s saying, “I like this guy. He’s handsome.”
And Ori doesn’t know Survivor. He’s new. We wouldn’t have put him on in Season 43. We looked at Ori and went, “Really interesting. Ori is very, very clever. Doesn’t know this game. Could be an advantage.” He didn’t have any built-in assumptions. He’s like, “You know what I think? She’s not talking to anybody. That bothers me.” It’s all new to him, which makes him maybe in a slightly advantageous place because he doesn’t have any boundaries.
Talk to me about choosing to make the “Fight for Supplies” a negotiation. And what’s your reaction to how Kilby and Kristin handled it, down to the thumb war?
I think what the Kilby/Kristin negotiation and how they ended it with the thumb war thing really speaks to: We try to stay out of the way. We didn’t manufacture how you decide. What we worked on was color-coding certain supplies, and we worked a long time on what will make this somewhat equitable, but ultimately slightly unfair, so that it’s not an easy decision. “Will you get A and I get B? B’s a little less valuable than A, but I think B is the better choice.”
That’s what we worked on, and then all the note says is, “Figure it out. Here are the rules. Trade colors.” And then these two knuckleheads get in there, do thumb wars. And now the problem is you got to go back to your tribe and say, “How’d you decide?” “Thumb wars.”
All of these scenes and the things that are turning the story go back to what I said on the boat. It’s not our game anymore. And what I’m really proud of, honestly, is we don’t f—k with the game. If we did, we’d have great winners every season. Cirie would have won by now. Ozzy would have. Devens would have won. No, they figure it out, and we trust the format. We trust the people. Like this season, great winner. Yeah. Is it who I would have predicted in the beginning? Maybe. Maybe not. Not my game.
You talk about the “flipping the coin” metaphor. And it turns out we’re actually going to get that on a seasonal basis with this new prize money rollover twist! What made you decide to do something so substantial that affects every season moving forward?
One of the things in the open era is you can take any idea and put it back into the show. And you can put it back with a twist. So we took an idea from 50, this idea of Devens’ million-dollar coin flip. We said, “What if we put that in the show every season? Every season, one player flips the coin, and if you call it correctly, we’ll add a million dollars to the pot for that season.
Then we put a twist on it. Same rules as 50, but if you call it incorrectly, you’re out; that million dollars rolls into the next season. And it gos until it pays off and then we start again. I think it’s the most innovative twist in prize money in the history of unscripted television. The million dollars is a living, breathing thing. So the question becomes, where is it going to land and how many of them will there be when it does land? Permanent uncertainty!
You talked this summer about how there was one player in Survivor 51 who, if you were to ever stop hosting the show, would be able to take on the role. Can you give us any hint as to who that might be?
Somebody walked in the room, and I talked to them for a while. And I thought, “I would not want to do this yet. So it’s a contingency. But I’d be totally comfortable saying you should take over hosting.” You’ll have to learn how to produce. But their instincts as a human, it was a rare moment where I thought, “Wow, it’d be interesting to see the show shooting through your eyes.
And this was their audition. They didn’t even know they were going to be on the show yet. We’re on 51, but I didn’t forget it. And I did ask them if they remember it, and they said, “I do remember that moment.” I said, “It was a genuine moment! I just thought you have some idea of the kind of skill set you would need to host an improv show like Survivor, and part of it is a really strong point of view.”
I know you can’t say much more about how the rest of the season goes. But, when Survivor 51 wrapped shooting, what was going through your head?
I’ll preface it this way: I was exhausted at the end of 50. Exhausted. Like as tired as I’ve ever been in my professional life, honestly, to the point of maybe burnout. 51, I was as high as I could be. I just felt like, “We’ve done it.” And sometimes these things get taken out of context, and I sound like I’m full of ego. I just mean that it’s hard to produce a show like Survivor. 26 years, and still find a way to keep it fresh. So I’m also not gonna pretend and be shy about saying when I think we did a good job. I think we did a good job with 50, and I feel very confident when 51’s over, and I talk to you a year later, you’ll go, “It was a really good season. I really enjoyed it.” So I was really happy.
This One Birth Month Has a Lot to Celebrate Under September’s Full Moon
September’s Full Moon is bringing a burst of fiery energy, but one birth month has an especially personal reason to pay attention. On September 26, 2026, the Moon reaches its fullest point at 3° Aries, illuminating themes of independence, confidence, fresh starts, and taking action.
If you were born in March, particularly toward the end of the month, September’s Full Moon could feel surprisingly impactful.

People Born in March Are Blessed by September’s Full Moon in AriesAries is the first sign of the zodiac. This Fire sign’s energy is all about beginnings. Therefore, an Aries full moon asks us to stop waiting for the perfect moment to start moving toward what we actually want. A Full Moon in Aries can bring emotional patterns to a head, revealing where you’ve outgrown hesitation and where it’s time to take independent, decisive action.
In other words, you may be seeing yourself more clearly than you have in a while. What you’ve been questioning could suddenly make sense. A goal you’ve been quietly considering might feel worth pursuing. Or you could simply realize that you’ve been giving too much energy to what everyone else expects from you.
That’s especially significant because this Full Moon is happening across the Aries-Libra axis. While Aries asks, What do I want?, Libra asks, What does everyone else need from me? For March-born people, September’s lunation could illuminate where those two questions have fallen out of balance.
This doesn’t necessarily mean cutting people off or making some dramatic life change. Sometimes putting yourself first looks much simpler: saying yes to something you actually want, saying no without overexplaining, or finally admitting that a particular dream still matters to you.
There’s also something fitting about the first sign of the zodiac hosting a Full Moon. Aries doesn’t wait around for another sign to give it permission to begin. Its instinct is to move, initiate, and trust that momentum will reveal the next step. For March-born people especially, that could be the real gift of this Full Moon.
You don’t necessarily need to have everything figured out. You may just need enough clarity to take the next step. And after spending so much time wondering when your next chapter would begin, September’s Full Moon could remind you that you’ve had more power to start it than you realized.

Nolan Wells' Family Releases Autopsy Report Highlighting Unanswered Questions and Head Trauma
The family of Nolan Wells released his Mississippi State Medical Examiner’s autopsy report on Thursday, Sept. 24, following his mysterious death earlier this year.
Wells, a Black college student, was found dead after a boating trip to an island off the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
“This 18 year old male was found face down in the water at Horn Island. Because the circumstances surrounding this death are unknown, the cause and manner of death are best classified as undetermined,” the state autopsy report states, according to ABC News.
His family shared that the autopsy only adds to their questions about what transpired on July 4. They requested an independent autopsy, which also found his cause and manner of death to be undetermined. It stated that Wells suffered “acute blunt force injuries to the head and body prior to his death,” according to People.
The Mississippi State autopsy report added that Wells has “evidence of injury” to the back of his head, which the pathologist described as “two dark red-purple subcutaneous scalp contusions.”
It did not share how this injury could have happened, nor did it find “external scalp injuries” or any “fractures” in the skull.
This report comes after a grand jury reviewing the evidence in Wells’ death determined that criminal charges were not warranted at this time, according to a report released Monday night.
Wells’ mother, Christine Wonsley, pushed back at the findings at a news conference on Tuesday, according to PBS.
“How can a jury come to the conclusion of drowning, despite knowing that there was trauma to his body, and despite hearing many inconsistencies?” she said.
The Jackson County Sheriff, John Ledbetter, said in July that there was no initial indication of that a crime had occurred and added that investigators were “working diligently to determine exactly what occurred.”
BARK Just Released A Coffin For Dogs And Their Humans. Yes, Really
Dog parents are used to saying they want to spend forever with their pets. BARK and Liquid Death are taking that idea very, very literally this Halloween.
On Friday, September 25, BARK, the dog brand behind BarkBox, will release The Most Forever Home, a human-sized coffin designed for dogs and their humans to spend eternity together. Yes, it is an actual coffin.
“Dog parents already share their bed, their couch and in my case usually half my dinner with dogs, so why not share forever? Liquid Death gets that kind of dedication, and The Most Forever Home was the natural next step in our collaboration,” Dave Stangle, VP of Brand at BARK, tells PARADE. “It can be good for napping side by side for an afternoon, or eternity. If dog parents want to make it official, well, where there’s a will, there’s a way.”
BARK and Liquid Death just made the ultimate dog bed. It’s a coffin meant for cuddling – for eternity.BARK
Before it becomes a final resting place, though, the coffin doubles as a cozy bed where dog parents and their pups can curl up together. The brands are also giving dog parents a way to put their final wishes into writing.
BARK is offering a free “Final Wishes” document that lets dog parents formally request to be buried with their dogs and specify exactly how they’d like to spend eternity together. Options include being buried side by side, cuddled up together in the coffin, or even being cremated together.
Only three Most Forever Home coffins will be available, and BARK is selling them for just $1 each. The limited release begins at 2 p.m. EST on Friday, Sept. 25, on BARK’s website.
The coffin is the latest addition to the limited-edition BARK and Liquid Death collection, which includes dog toys, wearables, and treats inspired by the beverage brand.
While it may sound like a particularly dark take on the classic dog bed, the concept taps into something many dog parents already understand, because for people who consider their dogs family, the idea of never wanting to be separated from them doesn’t end when they do.

Why Convenience Stores Are Winning the Fast-Food Value WarThe push into restaurant-quality food at sub-$5 prices comes as traditional fast-food operators face consumer pushback over inflated combo pricing. By utilizing existing convenience store footprints and loyalty networks, operators like 7-Eleven can keep overhead low while serving freshly prepared food.
“At 7-Eleven, we’re always striving to help make our customers’ lives a little easier – and mealtime is no exception,” says William Armstrong, Senior Vice President, Restaurant Operations and Innovation at 7-Eleven, Inc. “Across our restaurants, the latest value menus bring together hot, craveable favorites at great value, giving customers an easy answer for breakfast, lunch or dinner during busy schedules.”
Beyond the discount menus, loyalty members can accumulate points on these purchases using the 7Rewards or Speedy Rewards apps, which collectively boast over 100 million members nationwide.

Kacey Musgraves Returns for Dolly Parton Tribute at VMAs; 2026 Show Airs Live Sunday on CBS and Paramount+
Country music fans are in for a major moment at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards. CBS and MTV have officially announced that eight-time Grammy Award winner Kacey Musgraves will take the stage during the live broadcast for a special musical tribute dedicated to country icon Dolly Parton.
The upcoming performance marks a significant return for Musgraves, who hasn’t performed on the VMA stage in five years. Adding to the anticipation, the singer is also competing in the ‘Best Country’ category this year for her hit track “Dry Spell.”
Here’s everything you need to know about how to watch the 2026 VMA broadcast and what to expect from this year’s star-studded musical lineup.

Rather than navigating multiple airtimes across networks, fans can catch the entire ceremony through a single synchronized broadcast on Sunday, Sept. 27, 2026.
The show will begin live at 7:30 PM ET / 4:30 PM PT and runs through 9:30 PM ET / 6:30 PM PT. To accommodate traditional viewers and digital streamers alike, the two-hour event will air simultaneously across two major TV networks and a primary streaming service:
- Television Broadcast: Tune in live on either the CBS Television Network or MTV.
- Live Streaming: Stream real-time via Paramount+ (available to U.S. subscribers on the Paramount+ Premium tier).
- Global & On-Demand Viewing: International viewers and cord-cutters can access the full broadcast on-demand through Paramount+ and MTV channels starting Monday, Sept. 28.
Rap icon Snoop Dogg will host the evening’s festivities. In addition to hosting, he’s also serving as an executive producer for the broadcast.
Kacey Musgraves Returns to the VMA Stage After 5 Years Kacey MusgravesCJ Harvey
Musgraves last took the VMA stage in 2021, making this performance a long-awaited milestone for both the artist and her fans. Over the course of her career, the “Star-Crossed” singer has earned three VMA nominations, establishing herself as one of the few contemporary country artists to regularly cross over into mainstream pop and video music categories.
Her tribute to Parton comes during a career stretch that continues to bridge classic country storytelling with modern production. While producers have kept the specific setlist under wraps, honoring Parton aligns naturally with Musgraves’ musical roots—both artists are celebrated for their sharp songwriting, distinct vocal styles and ability to break traditional genre boundaries.
Parton, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and 11-time Grammy winner, has long served as a key influence for Musgraves, making the tribute one of the most anticipated country segments in recent VMA history.

This year’s ceremony isn’t shying away from high-profile moments and major pop heritage celebrations. Beyond Musgraves’ country showcase, producers have stacked the night with milestone performances and cross-genre collaborations:
- Madonna opens the show: Pop royalty Madonna is set to open the 2026 VMAs, marking her first live performance on the VMA stage in 23 years.
- George Michael 10-Year tribute: Singer-songwriters Raye, Sombr and Teddy Swims will team up for a joint tribute honoring the late pop icon George Michael.
- Genre-bending performances: Breakout country star Shaboozey will hit the stage alongside rapper Gunna for a special live mashup.
- Global pop acts: K-pop superstar Lisa (of Blackpink), Swedish rapper Yung Lean and Gener8ion are also locked in for live sets during the main broadcast.
With Snoop Dogg managing hosting duties and a slate balancing classic legends with current chart-toppers, the 2026 broadcast is positioning itself as one of MTV’s most genre-diverse events in years.

Authorities Reveal Cause of Fire That Killed Beloved NHL Reporter Jessi Pierce & Her 3 Children as Her Grieving Husband Calls Situation 'Unfathomable'
After completing a lengthy investigation into the house fire that killed Jessi Pierce and her three children in March, authorities have determined the fire was an accident and that the beloved hockey reporter had very little time to escape the fast-moving flames.
Pierce, who was 37, covered the Minnesota Wild for NHL.com, hosted a popular podcast, and was a regular contributor to multiple Twin Cities radio stations, including KFAN, SkorNorth, and WCCO Radio. In the early morning hours of March 21, she died with her three young children — Hudson, Cayden, and Avery — and the family’s dog. By the time firefighters arrived, the 1952 rambler in White Bear Lake, Minnesota was engulfed in flames.
On Thursday, September 24, authorities held a press conference to reveal findings of their investigation. Minnesota State Fire Marshal Dan Krier deemed the fire to be accidental, per KARE11, revealing that flames started in a home office with equipment plugged into an extension cord that stretched outside the room, given that there were no wall outlets available.
View this post on Instagram“The equipment that was in the area of origin include extension cords, plug adapters, surge protectors, so in that series of bringing electricity into the room is really what we’ve identified as to the cause of the fire,” Krier said, per WCCO-TV, adding that “the circumstances of what caused this tragedy are present in many homes in Minnesota.”
According to Krier, there was not a smoke alarm in the office, so it took four minutes before a battery-operated smoke alarm elsewhere in the home was triggered. Krier explained, per WCCO, that this meant Pierce and her children had only one minute to escape, and that it was likely “too smokey and dangerous to safely exit the home by the time the alarm sounded.”
Jessi Pierce’s Husband Issued a Heartbreaking Statement at News ConferencePierce’s husband, Mike Hinrichs, was not at home when the fire broke out around 5:30 a.m. on March 21. Officials read a heartbreaking statement from him at the press conference, in which he said, “This truly unfathomable loss and all-consuming grief is with me every day and will be forever with every breath God allows me to take.”
“My deepest thanks and gratitude go out to all those in the community that have supported me and our other family members in this darkest of times,” Hinrichs’ statement continued. “Your kindness has not gone unnoticed, even if we have been too numb to adequately acknowledge your compassion and sympathy.”
Hinrichs also said in his statement, “Family always came first for Jessi, but all things hockey ran a close second. She loved the Wild and the game of hockey with boundless enthusiasm and communicated her joy and passion for the sport to all those who could hear her voice.”
In December, a youth hockey tournament called the Jessi Pierce Community Cup will be hosted by the Minnesota Wild, with proceeds benefitting women who are pursuing careers in sports media.
'Basic Instinct' Star Calls Out Sydney Sweeney to ‘Take Responsibility’ Over Controversial Sports Betting Ad
Sydney Sweeney caused controversy among female athletes and fans with her nearly nude Novig ad, that Sharon Stone belived the actor should “take responsibility” for.
The Euphoria actor made headlines when the commercial for the sports betting app revealed her using different sports equipment, like basketballs and shoulder pads, to cover up her private areas. Sweeney is seen in multiple sports scenarios stressing that Novig users trade “just sports.”
It wasn’t a surprise that Sweeney received immense backlash online for its provocative connotations, even from professional athletes and influencers. The 22 million view video led female athletes to call out the actor and Novig for sexualizing female sports instead of highlighting atheltic ability or competition.
Stone spoke with PEOPLE at Variety’s 2026 Power of Women: Los Angeles event on Wednesday, Sept. 23 to give her two cents on the subject matter. While believing she has no right to criticize Sweeney and her decisions, she commented that the controversy could instead be a way to empower woman.
“I think that it’s up to her to take responsibility for her actions, not up to me to judge her for her actions. It is up to me to be a cheerleader for the women who have made it through and become champions in women’s sports,” said the Basic Instinct star.
“We can’t denigrate women’s sports to get men’s attention so they can gamble.”
Confirmed: Sydney Sweeney knows ball. pic.twitter.com/EXQ4PzVZsi
— Novig (@Novig) September 9, 2026While Stone didn’t go into details about the specifics of the ad, she added that she understood the anger from female athletes. She once threatened to sue in high school when she wasn’t allowed to try out for the boy’s team. The actor says she “had something to prove” and made a change.
Since Sweeney’s Novig ad debuted, multiple female athletes and influencers have spoken out in response.
British sprinter Amy Hunt directly addressed the actor, saying, “Sydney Sweeney, this is what women in sport look like,” while highlighting the dedication required of athletes. Olympic swimmer Ariarne Titmus, gymnast Gracie Kramer, Olympic cyclist Sophie Capewell and others also criticized the ad, arguing that it plays into a narrative women in sports have spent years fighting against: being oversexualized and reduced to their bodies.
The Novig ad was not the first time Stone has commented on Sweeney’s controversies. During the American Eagle campaign, she rallied behind the actor saying, “It’s okay to use what mama gave you. It’s really fine,” and that it’s “hard to be hot.”
She also recently shaded the 29-year-old’s lingerie line, Syrn, in relation to her guest role in the last season of Euphoria. Stone commented that her character tried to get Sweeney’s character to “stop being a cam girl,” but “as you can see from Sydney’s new lingerie line, it didn’t take.”
Sweeney has not responded to the backlash or Stone’s comments, having once said she doesn’t find a need to and “knows who I am.”

'70s Folk Rock Legend Returns to Stage and Joins Willie Nelson After Canceling Tour
Neil Young, iconic ’70s country-rock artist, has made an exciting return to the stage alongside country legend Willie Nelson. The appearance came after the star canceled his summer European tour with the Chrome Hearts earlier this year.
The pair of singers first announced their co-headlining shows in mid-August. The brief two-show series was set for September 22 in Bridgeport, Connecticut and September 24 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in the days leading up to the Farm Aid benefit concert.
The shows are meant to kickstart the hype surrounding the annual benefit event—which the close friends co-founded in 1985 in support of American family farmers. The pre-Farm Aid shows feature two distinct sets from the music legends, with Young’s recent performance with the Chrome Hearts marking his first live show since October 2025.
Willie Nelson and Neil Young perform at the 30th Annual Bridge School Benefit concert on Day 1 at Shoreline Amphitheater on October 22, 2016 in Mountain View, California. Neil Young Cancels Summer TourYoung first announced his summer European tour in November 2025. The excitement was short-lived, however, as the star canceled the dates on February 6, 2026. The sudden scrapping of the shows was justified by Young via a statement on his website, explaining how he needed rest.
“I have decided to take a break and will not be touring Europe this time,” the message stated. “Thanks to everyone who bought tickets. I’m sorry to let you down, but this is not the time. I do love playing LIVE and being with you and the Chrome Hearts.”
Despite fan disappointment regarding his brief hiatus, public reception ultimately remained understanding. On August 18, Young revealed his plans to co-bill a pre-show to Farm Aid, reigniting fan enthusiasm and proving that the rock icon is far from finished thrilling live audiences.

'The Testaments' Adds 2 to the Cast; 'The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel' Star Lands an Eccentric Role
After a strong start, The Handmaid’s Tale spinoff The Testaments is set to return for a second season. Two new cast members are joining the ensemble.
Deadline reports that Deborah Ann Woll and Luke Kirby are joining The Testaments for Season 2. Woll will play Sylvia, a seamstress who is in close proximity to the Wives and daughters of Gilead. However, it’s not clear if she will play a part in the Resistance, or if she will be ears for the Commanders.
Kirby will take on the role of Commander Fletcher, who is described as being a recluse. He is one of the Colony Commanders, and they were noted in the first season as being the unwanted Commanders for the daughters of Gilead. However, Fletcher’s own “eccentricities” have also made it hard to find a wife.
The Testaments Season 1 ended with Commander Weston calling off the engagement to Agnes after helping find a way to protect Becka after she killed her father. That left Agnes’ future in jeopardy, and she would be cast aside by many of the high-profile Commanders because of that. Could it lead to her being picked for Commander Fletcher?
THE TESTAMENTS – “Secateurs” – Disney/Steve WilkieThere is also Daisy, who is a Pearl Girl who has become a Plum. The Aunts could want to find her a husband who is in a high position but is someone unwanted, and Fletcher could be perfect.
Kirby is known for playing eccentric roles. One of his most famous roles is as Lenny Bruce on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, who was based on a real person in history.
As for Woll, this is her first role after the announcement that Daredevil: Born Again will end with its upcoming third season. Since the news, Woll has shared that she is excited for fans to see the hard work the team put into the show.
The Testaments Season 2 doesn’t have a premiere date as of yet. Charlie Carrick has been upped to series regular, which means fans will see a lot more of Commander Judd. He does have a larger role in the book of the same name by Margaret Atwood, and he is a Commander many girls think they want to marry, only until they learn the truth about how he hurts his wives.
Haley Wong has also joined the cast as Prudence. She is described as “dutiful and pregnant,” and she is an original character for the TV show not in the book.
This 1980s Cult-Classic Series Is Returning With Its First-Ever Documentary Film
Time crime television strikes again, this time in the form of a vintage series that was recently revived at Netflix. Where else?
Nearly 40 years after launching on NBC, Unsolved Mysteries is soon returning once more — and in rare form. The beloved franchise’s first-ever feature-length documentary, Unmasking the Tylenol Killer, will stream for free on The Roku Channel starting October 9.
The new project was revealed Wednesday, September 23 following an Unsolved Mysteries press conference with the Ada County Sheriff’s Office, where they announced the resolution of one of Idaho’s longest-standing cold cases: the identity of the “Unknown Wanderer,” an unidentified man who died inside a Boise church in 1982.
According to a recent news release, the announcement also unveiled a possible connection between the case and the 1982 Tylenol poisonings, an unsolved case that claimed seven lives in the Chicago area and remains one of the most significant unsolved crimes in U.S. history. The Ada County Sheriff’s Office reportedly worked closely with the Unsolved Mysteries team throughout the investigation.
The recently revived series took to social media this week to promote its new documentary. “The biggest case in Unsolved Mysteries history, uncovered,” reads the recent Instagram post’s caption. “Unmasking the Tylenol Killer—the newest documentary, coming exclusively to @therokuchannel on October 9th.” Check out the preview footage below.
View this post on InstagramFans have since flooded the reel’s comments section to share their reactions, making references to Netflix’s separate documentary on the same subject as well as wishes for a new season of Unsolved Mysteries in general. Plus, one Instagram user commented, “Bring back the podcast!!”
Directed by Terry Dunn Meurer — co-creator of the franchise — the film is said to present “powerful new evidence” while identifying “the strongest suspect ever uncovered.”
Meanwhile, Unsolved Mysteries remains one of the highest-profile mystery series in TV history. As fans well know, for over 40 years the team has told real-life stories by generating leads, finding answers and helping families seek the truth.
Your Birthday Reveals the Key to Your Life's Purpose
Each birthday of the 365-day calendar year holds clues to one’s unique life purpose, according to birth date numerology and astrology. Every date carries a cosmic signature or a numerical vibration that speaks to your highest path. The following 365 entries show clues into each birthday’s life purpose and the spiritual truth it mirrors.
How Your Birthday Influences Your Life PurposeYour birth date is attuned to your spiritual blueprint. The numerology of your birthday holds insight into your soul’s intention, the patterns you’re meant to break, the people you’re meant to influence, and the knowledge you’re here to share with the world. While your birthday may seem random, in the world of spirituality, it’s often a tool for accessing your higher purpose.
The numerology of your birthday is calculated by reducing your birth date to a single digit or master number—for example, January 15th becomes 1+1+5=7. Each number carries its own spiritual frequency and intention.

Aviator Nation Just Gave NFL Fans The Vintage Apparel They’ve Been Waiting For
Aviator Nation is bringing its signature California-cool aesthetic to the NFL with a new collection just in time for Week 3.
The lifestyle brand, known for its ultra-soft fabrics, hand-stitched construction and vintage-inspired designs, launched its first-ever officially licensed NFL collection on September 24, featuring apparel for 25 NFL teams.
The collection includes pullover sweatshirts, zip-up hoodies, sweatpants, and t-shirts, all combining Aviator Nation’s retro-inspired look with officially licensed team logos and colors. The result is football fan gear that feels a little more like a favorite everyday sweatshirt than traditional game-day merchandise.

The NFL collection also marks another step in Aviator Nation’s expansion into sports licensing following their successful NFL debut earlier this year with an exclusive merchandise collection for Super Bowl weekend.
“Aviator Nation is a brand growing in popularity and influence,” NFL Director of Licensing Xaimara Coss said in a statement. “Building on a successful collaboration at the Super Bowl, this NFL collection is sure to be a hit with our fans and will continue to position the NFL at the intersection of sports and fashion.”
The collection is available at AviatorNation.com, select Aviator Nation retail stores, NFLShop.com, Fanatics, and select NFL stadiums around the country.
