Hilary Duff Fans Can't Miss This Chance to Score Tickets to Lucky Me Tour MSG Show
2000s icon, actress and singer Hilary Duff has already kicked off her current Lucky Me Tour, and the internet (especially, but not exclusively, millennials) are going wild over it. The new tour, which coincided with her newest album, Luck...or Something, that was released earlier this year, is a momentous occasion, in part because it marks Duff's return to music and performances after a years-long hiatus.
As proof of her continued popularity 25 years after the debut of her beloved TV Show Lizzie McGuire, many of Duff's Lucky Me Tour dates quickly sold out. Among the sold out shows are both dates on which Duff will be performing at the legendary Madison Square Garden arena. Those dates, which comprise Aug. 5 and Aug 6., are now only available through resales (likely at a premium).
If you didn't get a chance to score tickets when they first went on sale, though, don't fret. Aperol has just announced that, in addition to a unique pre-show fan experience, they are giving Duff fans the chance to win two tickets to her show on Aug. 5.
In celebration of their partnership with Duff, Aperol is hosting an exclusive pre-show experience on Aug. 5 that will take guests on a tour of New York City's bars and restaurants on their vibrant orange double-decker bus. The tour will feature music, trivia, karaoke and VIP exclusive, limited-edition, co-branded swag.
Aperol
Even better, this event is being hosted by an exciting mystery guest, and at each stop, fans can celebrate and "Share the Moment" with an Aperol Spritz before being taken to Madison Square Garden for the show.
To enter to win a spot on the bus and a pair of tickets to the Aug. 5 show, fans can visit the Share the Moment website. Sweepstakes entries will close on July 7.
If you don't snag a spot on the bus, Aperol still has plenty to offer with their Aperol Spritz Day Club pre-show experiences at Madison Square Garden and venues across New York City. And, if this news has you craving an Aperol Spritz, Aperol has you covered there too, with a reminder that the recipe includes (served in a wine glass full of ice):
- 3 parts Prosecco
- 2 parts Aperol
- 1 part soda water
- 1 orange slice
Royal Caribbean Brings Its Most Exclusive VIP Perk to Smaller Ships
Historically, if you wanted Royal Caribbean’s legendary "Royal Genie" service—where a personal fixer handles your every whim, reservation and onboard surprise—you had to book a top-tier suite on their absolute biggest ships.
But that’s officially changing. As more travelers demand custom luxury without the mega-ship crowds, Royal Caribbean is expanding its elite Royal Genie package to smaller Freedom, Radiance, Voyager and Vision-class ships worldwide. Translation? You can finally get that VIP experience on classic, destination-focused itineraries.
This fleetwide rollout completely changes the game for planning a cruise, turning a standard vacation into a seamless, totally hands-off journey. Instead of forcing you to constantly watch the clock or fight for high-demand reservations on a mobile app, the package pairs you with your own dedicated Royal Genie.

View this post on InstagramThe magic starts a full two weeks before you even leave for the airport. Your Genie will reach out to help build a personalized daily schedule tailored to your family's exact vibe. They handle everything from routing your luggage to arranging specific stateroom setups before you even step foot across the gangway.
Once you’re officially on board, consider the Genie your ultimate keys-to-the-kingdom pass. They coordinate priority access across the entire ship, scoring you prime, reserved seating at major shows and managing your daily activity lineup so you can bypass lines at the most popular onboard thrills. The service is incredibly flexible, too—whether you want to orchestrate a surprise in-room anniversary party, secure behind-the-scenes access, or just map out the perfect afternoon on the pool deck, your insider makes it happen.

To turn this into a truly comprehensive luxury retreat, Royal Caribbean bundles all that personal attention with a massive suite of top-tier, all-inclusive amenities. You get completely complimentary specialty dining throughout your entire sailing, meaning you can eat at premium venues like Chops Grille or Giovanni's Table every single night without worrying about cover charges.
The package also includes the top-shelf Deluxe Beverage Package, covering premium cocktails, world-class wines by the glass, beers and any non-alcoholic refreshments you want anywhere on the ship. Plus, everyone in your stateroom gets free, high-speed VOOM internet powered by Starlink, so you can stay connected even while sailing to the most remote corners of the globe.
Of course, this level of white-glove treatment doesn't come cheap. Royal Caribbean handles the Royal Genie Package as a premium, per-person, per-day add-on that typically ranges from $220 to $300 a day for each guest in the cabin. If you do the math for a family of four on a weeklong sailing, that price tag can easily tack an extra $6,000 or more onto the base cruise fare. However, when you factor in that the package already bundles high-dollar expenses like unlimited specialty dining, top-shelf drink packages, and premium Starlink Wi-Fi—amenities that most cruisers pay for out-of-pocket anyway—the math starts to make a lot of sense for travelers looking to curate a private yacht vibe without paying the astronomical price of a mega-ship's top-tier Star Class suite.
Whether you're sailing on a record-breaking giant or a classic, destination-focused favorite, this rollout proves you don't have to choose between a grand adventure and boutique-level luxury. After all, you don't need an insider to enjoy the line's signature thrills and chills, but having a Genie in your corner is the ultimate way to summon the Royal treatment.

’70s Television Icon Shares Rare Reunion Photos With Beloved Castmates
A beloved ’70s television icon is sparking nostalgia with a special reunion photo taken alongside familiar castmates from his hit show.
Tony Danza, who starred as boxer and cab driver Tony Banta on the ABC series Taxi, took to Instagram to share a pair of undated photos with his castmates. The television star captioned the snaps "Old friends."
The first image showed Danza seated alongside his Taxi co-stars Judd Hirsch (Alex Reiger), Danny DeVito (Louie De Palma), and Rhea Perlman (Zena Sherman). In a second photo, Danza posed alongside Christopher Lloyd (Reverend Jim Ignatowski), Carol Kane (Simka Gravas), DeVito, Hirsch, and Marilu Henner (Elaine Nardo).
The flashback photos highlight just how close the cast remains to this day. Although Taxi left television in 1983, more than 40 years later, the cast still considers one another family.

Fans were thrilled at the opportunity to see these rare snapshots. They shared their delight in the post's comments section.
"The funniest sitcom of all time," declared one viewer. "I still watch Taxi. Loved growing up with it," wrote a second fan.
"I just recently watched the whole series again, and wow, did I laugh. What a collection of talent, as proven by all of you after the show ended, but together, just magic, a legendary television show," exclaimed a third Instagram user.
"Old friends are the best friends," a fourth follower agreed.
Taxi premiered in 1978 and ran until 1983, becoming one of television’s most beloved workplace sitcoms. Set in the Sunshine Cab Company, the series followed a group of New York City cab drivers navigating life and friendship.
The ensemble cast featured Judd Hirsch, Danny DeVito, Marilu Henner, Tony Danza, Christopher Lloyd, Jeff Conaway, Andy Kaufman (Latka Gravas), and Randall Carver (John Burns).
Over its five-season run, Taxi earned critical acclaim, multiple Emmy Awards, and a lasting place in TV history. The series wasn’t just funny; it had a kind of everyday honesty that people connected with. That mix of humor and heart remains a main reason Taxi, and its cast members, are still remembered fondly today.

What Time Does 'The Bear' Season 5 Come Out Tonight? How to Watch the Final Season
It was only half a decade ago that we were introduced to Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) and the colorful cast of characters on The Bear. For four seasons, we've watched tense, dramatic and sometimes heartwarming moments both in and out of the kitchen, as the staff of The Beef/The Bear contends with the trials and tribulations of the restaurant business, and the complicated personalities and relationships therein. And now, tonight, the FX and Hulu series officially puts up its "Closed" sign, plating its fifth and final course of eight episodes.
Here's everything you need to know about The Bear Season 5, including how and when to watch the final season.
The Bear Season 5 premieres Thursday, June 25 on FX and Hulu.

Season 5 drops at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on June 25, with FX releasing the first two episodes at the same time. Think of it as a way to live the typical chef lifestyle, burning the midnight oil as you binge into the wee hours of the morning.

The Bear is available to watch on both broadcast and streaming. The Emmy-winning series airs on TV on FX, releasing episodes weekly. But for those in a binge mindset, Season 5 drops all at once on Hulu. If you have both Hulu and Disney+, you can also watch it on the latter.

With no money, the threat of a sale and a torrential storm in their way, the new partners must band together with the rest of the team to achieve one last service, hoping they’ll finally earn a Michelin star. Ultimately, they learn that what makes a restaurant 'perfect' might not be the food, but the people."

How Millie Bobby Brown Tried to 'Mend' Friendships With Her 'Stranger Things' Co-Stars
Millie Bobby Brown made sure to "mend" things with her Stranger Thingsco-stars as they wrapped up their decade-long journey together.
“I went into a little bit of a slight, slight depression,” the 22-year-old actress said of her emotions following the December 2025 finale of the Netflix series during a live recording of Happy Sad Confused at 92NY, as per Variety. “It was very hard for me. I would not have expected that coming off of the show. I’m a very happy-go-lucky person.”
Throughout the month of January, Brown said she made sure to reconnect with her Stranger Things co-stars and "mend" any unresolved issues to ensure their relationships would continue in spite of the series' end.
"They probably thought I was crazy," Brown said. "I was like, ‘We’re still friends, right? Like, you’re not gonna stop talking to me anymore?’ I was like, ‘I’m sorry if I ever upset you,’ and was just trying to mend anything. ‘It’s been 10 years, and I really want to be friends. You’re my sibling.’ And then I was on the beach, it was beautiful, and I just sat there crying. It was a very hard time for me."
"And no one will ever understand it," the Enola Holmes star continued. "I started the show when I was 10, and this character was me, and these people were in my life more than my own family. I saw these people more than going home and eating dinner with my family."
She added, "Saying goodbye to that after 10 years was a very, very emotional thing, and I’m going to miss Eleven more than anything."
While her time in Hawkins has come to an end, Brown did confirm that she and her on-screen father figure, David Harbour, would be working together on a project in the near future.
"Father-daughter is where we live, but Netflix will always be our home," she teased, calling the plans for the project "concrete."
"The David Harbour project is sooner than expected," she added with a smile. "And it’s David’s idea, so kudos to him."
1969 Summer Anthem, Named One of the Greatest Songs of All Time, Blew up After Woodstock
“Hot Fun in the Summertime” was released by Sly and the Family Stone in 1969, right before they played a high-profile performance at Woodstock that helped them explode in popularity. The song reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 while "I Can't Get Next to You" by The Temptations took the No. 1 spot.
“Hot Fun in the Summertime” was included on Rolling Stone's list of "500 Greatest Songs of All Time," coming in at No. 250. The band was also included on Rolling Stone's list of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time," coming in at No. 43.
In 1993, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, the band dissolved in 1975 after several missed concerts and erratic behavior from their frontman, Sly Stone, who was struggling with substance abuse.
However, when asked about Stone, band member Cynthia Robinson only had positive things to say. In 2015, she told Ebony, “Sly made a big contribution to music, but I don’t feel he is given his righteous props. Some people in charge of giving credit or the blame would rather give him blame. I saw Rolling Stone magazine once, and they were talking about the top 50 songs, and there wasn’t one Sly song; how does that happen? But, Sly isn’t the type to brown-nose for props. He’s always known what he had, what he was capable of; I’m just proud that he took the time and effort to put it to music.”
Related: 1965 Rock Song, Which Was ‘Stolen’ From Another Band, Became a No. 1 Hit
Stone released a memoir, Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin), in 2023, which spoke about the ups and downs of his life. During an interview with Andrew R. Chow, Stone spoke about a quote from the book, where he stated, “Music could help you resist everyday problems. Music could keep you out of the fire.”
“I know music can always make a difference,” Stone explained. “I knew it when I was on the radio. People would call into the station and say that they wanted me to play this song or that song, and I could tell how much it meant to them. That was what we wanted to do with the music that we made. That’s what we did. And in a way, we keep going it, because old music is in the middle of some of what's coming out today. It can be in sampling, or it can be in movies about concerts or festivals back then [like Summer of Soul]. It's good for good ideas and good feelings to stay alive.”
Stone died in 2025 at the age of 82 after a battle with COPD.
Mick Jagger, 82, and His Beautiful Fiancée Melanie Hamrick, 38, Step Out Looking So Happy Together
Mick Jagger and his fiancée, Melanie Hamrick, look happier than ever while making the scene at a recent fashion show.
The frontman of the Rolling Stones, 82, and Hamrick, 38, hit the Dior Homme Menswear Spring/Summer 2027 show as part of Paris Fashion Week in Paris, France. As they strolled into the big event, Hamrick smiled alongside her music man, who wore a baby blue suit with a blue shirt underneath. Hamrick kept it casual in a sundress and a jean jacket.

“Happy Birthday!!!!🎊 ❤️🥳,” Hamrick captioned the three shots, which started with a photo of her alongside Jagger looking dapper in formal wear. In the second slide, the couple posed for the camera outside on what looked like a restaurant patio. But it was the third shot, which featured the adorable Deveraux mugging for the camera alongside his smiling dad, that made waves on social media.
View this post on Instagram Do Mick Jagger and Melanie Hamrick Plan on Getting Married?While Jagger and Hamrick are engaged, they seem to have no official plans to get married.
Hamrick made it clear that the couple has no serious plans, but that doesn’t mean they may not pursue it in the future.
“We’ve been engaged two or three years,” Hamrick told Paris Match, a French publication, last year. “Maybe one day we’ll marry, maybe not. We are so happy in our current life that I would be too afraid to change anything.”
Hamrick continued by saying that what’s most important to the couple is that they’re there for each other no matter what. A retired ballerina and author, Hamrick has also always responded playfully when asked about her age gap with Jagger in the past.
“He’s younger than me,” Hamrick told Page Six, taking it in stride. “He’s amazing, really is.”

Clarks’ 'Extremely Comfortable' Slip-On Boat Shoes With 'Great Arch Support' Are 40% Off for Amazon Prime Day
Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.
If you’re anything like me, your summer footwear rotation revolves around sandals, slides, and wedges that feel cool and comfy during warm weather. But when plans go beyond beach days — think work, flights, and full travel itineraries — open-toe shoes don’t always make sense. Those situations call for a lightweight, easy-on, closed-toe shoe that offers coverage and protection.
Known for comfort-first design that holds up through all-day wear, Clarks has plenty of slip-in silhouettes that do the job. And right now, during Amazon’s Prime Day event, the brand’s Elaina Milly Slip-On Boat Shoes are marked down 40%, bringing the $95 style down to $57. With rave reviews about the “extremely comfortable” design with “great arch support” and a “cushioned insole,” they’re worth a closer look.
Elaina Milly Slip-On Boat Shoes, From $57 (was $95) at Amazon Shop at AmazonA loafer, boat shoe, and espadrille all rolled into one, this Clarks style packs in plenty of thoughtful details. The upper combines soft nubuck leather with textile panels, creating subtle texture variation that keeps the design from feeling flat. A classic moc toe is outlined with contrast stitching that wraps around the front of the shoe, while the decorative strap across the vamp features a rounded link detail that mimics the look of traditional horsebit loafers.
Along the midsole, a braided jute-inspired trim adds an unmistakable coastal touch, giving the shoe the relaxed feel of an espadrille. The cushioned footbed features perforations near the heel for added airflow, and the 1.5-inch molded heel provides height while still feeling stable to walk in.
Nautical-inspired details make these especially easy to style with summer outfits. Pair them with white jeans, cropped chinos, or linen trousers to play up the coastal vibe, or wear them with a breezy shirtdress for weekend errands and sightseeing. The rope-wrapped trim gives them a beach-town feel that works just as well for a waterfront dinner as it does for everyday wear, while the loafer shape keeps them polished enough for casual office days.
This pair comes in red, tan, and navy, making it easy to match them with your wardrobe. They’re available in sizes 5 through 12, including half sizes, along with wide-width options for a more tailored, comfortable fit. Pricing can vary slightly depending on the size and color selected, so it’s worth double-checking before adding to your Amazon cart.
Dubbed by shoppers as “soft,” “practical,” and “well made,” these slip-ons earned plenty of praise from reviewers. One customer reported that they’re “true to size” and “did not need breaking in.”

We Asked 4 Child Psychologists What They Wish More Grandparents Would Stop Doing—They All Said the Same Thing
The days were long, the years were short, and now—somehow–your little baby has kids of their own. You may have long waited and hoped to become a grandparent, or perhaps you thought this day would never come. Either way, transitioning into one is a development that many child psychologists agree we don't pay enough attention to.
"Becoming a grandparent is a significant identity shift for the grandparent and the parents," Dr. Gina Radice-Vella, Psy.D., the chief psychologist at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, tells Parade. "Being a grandparent offers the opportunity to develop a unique relationship with a grandchild—a relationship that is primarily focused on love, support and adoration."
Yet, the role of "grandma" or "grandpa" isn't all sunshine, rainbows and butterscotch candies. The identity shift also comes with a changing hierarchy. Notably, your adult child (and their partner, if they have one) is now the leader of their own household. Dr. Radice-Vella shares that this change can become difficult for grandparents to navigate right away or over time. Yet, learning how to do so is worthwhile because child psychologists say it lets you (and the child's parents) create a healthy, supportive and trusting family structure that everyone can always count on.
"Consistency is important, as it creates a strong and established foundation that both children and adults begin to trust and look to for order, structure and routine—factors that help developing children thrive," she states.
To create this type of environment for the whole family, child psychologists say it's important for grandparents to break or avoid certain bad habits, especially one. Four child psychologists say that this habit is the one thing they wish grandparents would stop doing, and what to do instead.
Related: 7 Phrases Grandparents Should Avoid To Foster Better Relationships With Grandkids, Psychologist Says
What 4 Child Psychologists Wish More Grandparents Would Stop DoingChild psychologists are begging grandparents to stop undermining parents.
"It can be easy for grandparents to dismiss today’s parents’ rules and boundaries, as these often look much different than the parenting advice and guidelines they had when they entered parenthood," Dr. Radice-Vella says.
Often, contemporary advice on everything from what makes a nutritious breakfast to when it's safe for a child to ride shotgun is met with "I did it this way, and you turned out fine."
"This line of thinking often drives disconnection between grandparents and parents," she warns.
Dr. Ioana Pal, Psy.D., a licensed clinical psychologist at Stramski Children’s Development Center at Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital, says that common ways grandparents undermine parents include:
- Contradicting parents in front of children
- Ignoring household rules
- “Rescuing” children from consequences
- Pressuring parents to use outdated parenting methods
- Triangulating (forming alliances with grandchildren against parents)
Dr. Pal says that conflict surges when grandparents become too intrusive or dismissive of parents' boundaries—and grandkids lose out.
"Children function better or best when generational roles are clear," she explains. "Parents need to remain the primary attachment and decision-making authority, unless it is unsafe or there are other reasons for grandparents to take more of a primary role. Grandparents tend to function best as supportive but secondary attachment figures."
She says that grandkids experience loyalty conflicts, emotional splitting and confusion when grandparents overstep. Other psychologists agree.
"It creates confusion for everyone," says Dr. Cameron Caswell, Ph.D., an adolescent psychologist and host of the podcast, Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam. "Teens don't know which adults to listen to or which rules actually matter. Parents feel disrespected and unsupported. And what starts as a small moment of saying yes when a parent says no can build into a bigger conflict over time."
Dr. Holly Schiff, Psy.D., a licensed clinical psychologist, says it also undermines the parent-child relationship and creates a "good cop, bad cop" dynamic.
"If a child repeatedly sees a grandparent dismiss or contradict a parent’s rules, they may begin to view the parent as overly strict, unreasonable or less authoritative," Dr. Schiff notes. "Kids may learn to 'split' adults because they are very perceptive."
In other words, the kid may go to the adult who will give them the answer they want.
Of course, there are times when grandparents should undermine parents.
"When a child is in immediate danger, there's a medical emergency or a parent can't be reached and a decision has to be made," Dr. Caswell states. "Everything else, including rules that feel too strict, too lenient or just different from how you would have done it, is a conversation to have with the parent privately, not a call to make on your own."
3 Expert-Backed Things To Do Instead1. Ask before you assumeThe idea that "it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission" generally doesn't hold when a grandparent decides to contradict a parent. Dr. Caswell shares that there's a good reason that parenting looks different today.
"We know so much more now about child development and long-term impacts than we did a generation ago," she notes. "Different doesn't mean wrong. Before stepping in to correct or override, try asking your adult child why they're making the choices they're making. You might be surprised by the answer."
The conversation can prevent you from having to grovel for forgiveness.
2. Support your grandchild without undermining their parentGrandparents can be trusted confidants for their grandchildren—that's a great thing. Sometimes, though, a grandchild may confide that they're upset with their parent. Dr. Caswell suggests sitting with a frustrated grandchild and saying something like, "I know it can be really upsetting when you don't understand or agree with your parent's decision. I’m here if you want to vent."
"That does two things: It tells your grandchild they matter— their feelings count—and it keeps the parent's authority intact without making them the bad guy," she explains.
3. Find other ways to bondDr. Caswell emphasizes that it's absolutely possible to have a strong connection with a grandchildwithout damaging their bond with the child's parents. She suggests:
- Cooking together
- Telling them stories about you when you are their age
- Ask them to teach you about the things they love
"Your time, your stories and the fact that you love them without an agenda are more than enough," the psychologist stresses.
5 Other Behaviors To Stop Doing 1. Offering unsolicited advice to parentsThough often doled out with the best of intentions, Dr. Radice-Vella warns that offering unsolicited advice can undermine a parent's confidence, create defensiveness and trigger resentment. As a result, parents may become less likely to ask for your help when they need it—to their detriment (and your grandkids).
"Rather than offering your opinion, listen with empathy and validate what they are going through," she says. "Also, offer compliments and praise when you see them navigate a difficult situation. Try saying, 'You are navigating this tough stage so well, and I’m really proud of you.'"
2. Avoid making comparisonsYou may have other grandchildren or regularly hang out with Jenny from down the block's grandkids, who began talking at 3 days old. Sharing comparisons does not scream, "I'm caring."
"Comparing the child to other children, or even how their own parents behaved at that age, can lead to an unnecessary and negative pressure, leading to parental anxiety or feelings of inadequacy," Dr. Radice-Vella points out. "Instead, focus on the child’s strengths and unique developmental progression without comparing it to other children."
3. Judging or criticizing grandkids for their choicesDr. Caswell doubles down on the fact that the world is much different today than it was when you were a child or a teen.
"That doesn't make it bad or wrong, just different," she notes. "When grandparents comment on clothing choices, haircuts or the way they talk, kids don't hear feedback. They hear someone who is out of touch and not fun to be around."
She advises grandparents to get curious instead.
"Ask them about what they love and why," she recommends. "Relish the fact that there are still a lot of things left for you to learn about."
4. Spare grandkids the guilt tripDr. Schiff points out that grandparents often do this one to try to force closeness or attention. Common guilt-tripping phrases include "You never visit me anymore" or "I could die tomorrow."
"These statements… can place inappropriate emotional pressure on children and adult children alike," the psychologist warns. "While these comments may come from loneliness or sadness, they can create obligation-based relationships rather than healthy emotional connections."
She suggests grandparents communicate their needs directly and with warmth. Think like, "I miss spending time with you and would love to plan something together."
"Phrases like this one encourage connection without emotional manipulation or guilt," she says.
5. Don't arrive without noticeDr. Radice-Vella says grandparents usually arrive unannounced because they want to see their grandchildren. As well-intentioned as it may be, she warns that parents often find it highly disruptive.
"It can interrupt a much-needed nap—for baby or parent—derail plans, or simply add stress to an already chaotic day," she notes.
Word to the wise: Always call or text to see if it's a good time. Dr. Radice-Vella suggests something like, "I'm thinking of you all! Any chance I could pop over for a quick visit this afternoon?"

Final TakeawaysGrandparents can play a vital role in grandchildren's lives. Like parenting, though, grandparenting doesn't come with a handbook. Still, there are some "unspoken rules" that child psychologists believe are worth talking about. Here's what to keep in mind:
- Child psychologists wish grandparents would stop undermining parents. It can create confusion and frustration for everyone. Grandchildren may become confused about who to stay loyal to (the grandparent or the parent). When grandparents undermine parents, it can even inspire "manipulation tactics," such as going to the good cop (the grandparent) who will give them the answer they want.
- There are ways to support your grandchild without undermining the parents. For instance, you can sit with them in their frustration and offer a listening ear.
- Other bad habits can also damage grandparent-grandchild relationships. Child psychologists advise against judging a grandchild's choices (such as haircuts), comparing them to other kids and offering unsolicited advice to the parents.

Baggallini Just Dropped a Sleek New Anti-Theft Collection Perfect for Solo Travel
Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.
Stepping out of a busy foreign station or exploring a packed market alone is incredibly liberating—but it can also be anxiety-inducing. You want to look up, breathe in the architecture, and completely immerse yourself in the culture, but a stubborn inner monologue keeps forcing your attention back to your hip: Is my zipper exposed? Did someone just bump my shoulder? Are my passport and credit cards actually secure? Anyone who has traveled alone knows the struggle: you want to look chic and unbothered, but your brain is secretly running a 24/7 security check on your belongings.
That challenge has taken center stage across the leisure economy. According to data from Virtuoso, women account for a staggering 71% of the luxury network's solo bookings. As millions of solo women hit the pavement to claim their independent "me-time," they are demanding high-performance gear that doesn't scream "clueless tourist." Responding directly to this cultural shift, bestselling heritage accessory brand Baggallini just officially cut the ribbon on its brand-new Jet Set Collection. This premium five-piece lineup elevates Baggallini's trusted Securtex security, proving that high-performance anti-theft features can look incredibly sophisticated.
Baggallini
The best part of this new collection is how subtle it is. In the past, buying an anti-theft bag meant settling for thick fabrics and awkward steel clips that practically yelled "tourist" to local pickpockets. The Jet Set line changes the game by blending top-tier safety features right into a chic design, complete with rich colors, premium nylon, sleek faux-leather trim and gold-tone hardware.
To prevent "slash-and-run" thefts in crowded transit stations, each style features hidden, slash-resistant fabric panels and reinforced straps. Instead of flimsy traditional zippers, Baggallini uses elegant, necklace-inspired locking hardware that discreetly clips into place—keeping out quick-fingered pickpockets while looking like an intentional style accent. Inside, built-in RFID-blocking technology protects your credit cards and passport from digital scanning devices.

- Jet Set Anti-Theft Mini Crossbody ($95): The ultimate minimalist companion, perfect for keeping your phone, room key and essential cards tucked tightly against your ribs during a quick morning coffee run or a late-night dinner.
- Jet Set Anti-Theft Crescent Sling ($105): A trendy, body-hugging silhouette that sits comfortably across your chest, keeping your absolute essentials directly within your line of sight during crowded airport transits or packed museum tours.
- Jet Set Anti-Theft Triangle Sling ($140): An ergonomic, single-strap powerhouse built for active walking days, providing a slightly larger capacity while distributing weight evenly across your back or torso.
- Jet Set Anti-Theft Hobo ($140): A classic everyday purse with a beautiful slouch, designed to transition seamlessly from afternoon boutique shopping to a white-tablecloth dinner.
- Jet Set Anti-Theft Daypack ($160): The definitive hands-free hero for long-haul sightseeing, offering ample space for a light layers jacket, a water bottle, and a camera, all while utilizing top-tier locking zippers to keep your gear completely safe behind you.
Baggallini's new line proves that traveling independently doesn't mean sacrificing your personal style for bulky security gear. By seamlessly blending safety features into a chic design, the Jet Set Collection lets you secure your valuables with ease so you can drop your shoulders, relax and enjoy the view.

Tim Allen Reveals the Part of 'Toy Story 5' He Found 'Creepy'
Tim Allen wasn't ready to take one Toy Story 5 storyline to infinity and beyond!
The 73-year-old actor, who has played Buzz Lightyear for three decades now, admitted during an interview with Us Weekly published on Tuesday, June 23, that the space ranger's romance with cowgirl Jessie (voiced by Joan Cusack) initially struck him as "creepy."
Spoiler Alert: Details of the ending of Toy Story 5 continue below.
At the end of Toy Story 5, Buzz confesses his love for Jessie, which is reciprocated with a kiss from the cowgirl. Allen admitted that he thought the plot point was "creepy" at first, explaining, "When I'm doing [Toy Story], I'm literally an 8-year-old kid. That's what the personality I feel is inside Buzz, is my 11-year-old. So it's like, 'Oh God, oh no, I'm doing that?!'"
He compared his reaction to that of his daughter when she saw a romantic scene in a movie as a child. "Every time there's a kissing scene, everybody gets really quiet in the room, especially when [17-year-old Elizabeth was] a little younger," Allen said. "And that is exactly how I responded [to Buzz kissing Jessie]."
The Home Improvement star added, "I remember when I first read it, I said, ‘Are you going to show this?’ It’s like Woody’s bald spot. You kind of move them out of the animated thing, and it gets into some larger dramatic questions. Can they get married? And let’s move on from there."
Buzz and Jessie do end up getting married, with their kid Bonnie having a wedding for the toys at the end of the film. Allen said that upon getting a full view of their love story, he realized his initial reaction was part of the charm of it all.
“I loved [it] because it affects everybody in the room,” he explained. “You know, adults, and then kids go, ‘Eew!’ You got that potpourri of responses.”

Speaking to the website Fondazione Imago Mundi about her photography, Yemchuk shared, "I love my female protagonists, both in my work that is more conceptual and fictional or the women I see on the streets. I think I am drawn to these women and I want to show them as they are, powerful yet vulnerable. The images have to be honest yet not necessarily of this world, I always look for dreamy elements to add to the stories."
How did Ebon Moss-Bachrach and his wife meet?The couple met in the late 1990s at a friend’s dinner party when they were both in other relationships. Yemchuk told The New Yorker, “When I saw Ebon, I was, like, ‘Oh, my God, he’s cute. Who is this guy?’ My friend was like, ‘Forget it, he has a girlfriendand he’s an actor.’ And I was, like, ‘Ugh!’ When you think of an actor as a boyfriend, that’s not where you want to go. They just seem like such a pain in the ass.”
They started dating a year and a half later. “Ebon is the least actor-y actor I’ve ever met,” Yemchuk said. “You’re just not obsessed with yourself.”

So I started making her baby food.”
From there, he became the cook of the family. “I used to cook, before I met Ebon,” Yemchuk told the outlet. “I’m just not as good. He has a real gift.”

'80s 'Greatest of All Time' Soundtrack With Two No. 1 Hits Was Released 42 Years Ago Today
It's not easy to make a soundtrack that tops the charts. In fact, just last year, Billboard highlighted the 28-year gap in time in which no soundtrack had three top 10 Billboard Hot 100 hits (ultimately ended by the smash hit Netflix movie KPop Demon Hunters, which actually had four songs reach the top 10).
Yet, music icon Prince not only managed to create a soundtrack with two No. 1 hits but also made what Rolling Stonenamed as the single greatest soundtrack of all time. Namely, on June 24, 1984, Prince released Purple Rain, which continues to have a massive impact more than four decades later.
Purple Rain was made for the R-rated 1984 movie of the same name, which was released one month after the soundtrack, on July 27. The film went on to win an Oscar for "Best Music, Original Song Score" and a Grammy award for "Best Album of Original Score Written for a Motion Picture or Television Special."
Many songs from the soundtrack, including the movie and soundtrack's titular single "Purple Rain," went on to find massive success, with that song in particular reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100. However, two other songs on the soundtrack, "When Doves Cry" and "Let's Go Crazy," both hit No. 1. "When Doves Cry" has since spent 23 total weeks on the chart, with five weeks at No. 1, and "Let's Go Crazy" is close behind with 21 total weeks on the chart, two of which saw the song at No. 1.
In addition to these achievements, Purple Rain was named as one of Barnes & Noble's Albums of the Month in May of this year and has spent a total of 1,000 weeks on the Official Soundtrack Albums Chart.
The soundtrack has also recently had a resurgence due to Stranger Thingsseason 5 making use of both "When Doves Cry" and "Purple Rain." The latter in particular gained attention because it played during Eleven's possible death.

Getting dressed in the summer can be exhausting when you’re trying to plan around hot days, beach plans, and last-minute errands. Fortunately, matching sets help take some of the guesswork out of it, and right now, Walmart has the Moshu 2-Piece Lounge Set on sale for just $14. The gray version is the best deal, since it was originally $50, while the other colors were originally $29 and are now also marked down to $14. It comes in eight colors, including black, gray, lake green, light blue, light khaki, navy, orange, and purple, with sizes ranging from small to 2XL.

Moshu 2-Piece Lounge Set, $14 (was $50) at Walmart Shop at WalmartAside from this set being super comfortable, it doesn’t look like something you can only wear to bed. It’s cozy enough for snoozing, but the matching top and shorts look more stylish and put-together than an old T-shirt and patterned pajama shorts might.

And at this ultra-low price, it’s an easy one to grab in more than one color if you know you’ll wear it all summer.
"The material is extra soft and lightweight,” one shopper said, adding, “The pockets are deep and convenient. The colors are so vibrant and beautiful.” Another reviewer said it’s "great for summer," while others called it "perfect for sleeping in" and "very comfortable."
You can wear both pieces together with slides for a slow morning at home, or split them up when you want to get more use out of the set. The top would work with leggings, jeans, or flowy pants, while the drawstring shorts could be worn with a tank top, a basic T-shirt, or an oversized sweatshirt. It’s also a great set to pack for a weekend away, since it can serve as both pajamas and loungewear, which means one less outfit to think about before you leave.

Gary Numan Reveals the Possibly 'Illegal' Way He Met His Wife
Gary Numan may have bent a few laws in the name of love.
The "Cars" singer, 68, revealed the unexpected way his wife of almost 30 years, Gemma O'Neill, became more than just a fan of his in a new interview with The Times published on Wednesday, June 24.
Numan revealed that O'Neill, 58, had always been a huge fan of his, having once told a career counselor that she wouldn't need a job, because she was going "to marry Gary Numan."
It took a little bit for her to gain his attention, however. Their first meeting was during a fan event when she was 12, and he was 22, but Numan doesn't recall the interaction. Six years later, the pair posed for a photo together, and as O'Neill continued to attend Numan's shows regularly, he began to remember her as a friendly face in the crowd. By 1988, Numan even knew in advance to make out her autographs to "Gemma."
"That's how I attracted her, which I think is illegal now," he told The Times.
Later, when Numan learned that O'Neill's mother had died, he reached out to the fan club with which he knew she was associated to get her phone number. "Which again may be illegal," he acknowledged.
When Numan first rang O'Neill to express his condolences, she hung up the phone, convinced that someone was "playing a cruel trick," but when he called back and was able to pass a quiz confirming his identity, she realized who had actually reached out to her.
The "Are 'Friends' Electric?" singer went on to ask O'Neill on a date and invited her to join him on a drive to an interview. "I took her to a Little Chef because I'm very down to earth," he recalled of that first date. "I don't do all that flash, rich man, pop star stuff."
The couple would go on to tie the knot in 1997 and later welcomed daughters Raven, 23, Persia, 21, and Echo, 19.
In 1997, O'Neill shared her recollection of her first date with Numan in an interview with The Independent, describing the outing as "really cute."
Jeremy Allen White's Relationship History, Including Co-Star Molly Gordon and Estranged Wife Addison Timlin
Jeremy Allen Whiteand now estranged wife Addison Timlin called it quits in 2023 after three years of marriage and nearly two decades of friendship (the pair met in 2004). News of the split took fans by surprise—just months earlier, following White’s Golden Globe win for The Bear, Timlin wrote a heartfelt letter to him on Instagram.
“When we were 14 years old and I saw you perform for the first time in drama class, I couldn’t take my eyes off of you," she said. "When we’d run your lines for Shameless I’d be so tickled knowing beforehand what everyone would get to witness the next day on set. When I watched the pilot for The Bear, I cried my f-----g heart out. I think somewhere I must’ve known how much life was about to change, but mostly I just knew that the world was about to discover what I’ve known all along."
“What a privilege it’s been to know first," she concluded. "I love this picture so much because you look 14 and 31 at the same time—watching you win on Tuesday was one of the most overwhelming dimension hopping moments of my whole life, watching you win last night while holding our two babies was pretty out of this world too.”

They didn't start hanging out romantically until a few weeks ago though," the insider said at the time, adding, "She spends time at his house. They go on lunch dates and seem to have a great time. They're affectionate, often in deep conversations and seem curious to get to know each other better."
White and Gordon were photographed taking a stroll together in New York City shortly before Thanksgiving in November 2024. Gordon also included White in a photo carousel in a September 2025 Instagram post, but the two have yet to confirm a relationship.

During their joint Showmance podcast interview, Timlin admitted that—despite having an on-again, off-again boyfriend at the time—seeing White walk through the classroom doors was “love at first sight.”
"He has really blue eyes and his blue shirt brought out the blue eyes. And he had really long hair, and that was really cool," Timlin recalled. "He came in hot, so to speak, and [my classmates and I] were all so in love with him."
Even with Timlin’s boyfriend kind of in the picture, the pair spent all their time together. "We cut school together. We got in trouble together, smoked pot together," Timlin said.

It’s so painful. But just like everything with motherhood the lows are demolished by the staggering heights."

10 Vintage Brands Designers Always Grab at Goodwill When They Spot Them
Whether you frequently shop at Goodwill or are planning on heading to a local shop to pick up some items for the first time, knowing about the vintage brands you can expect to find (and should buy) to make the most of your shopping experience is key, especially if you’re looking for new pieces with which you’d like to use to decorate your home. The number of products and brands might seem overwhelming as you navigate through the aisles, but it doesn’t have to be.
We chatted with interior designers, thrifting experts and vintage store curators to learn more about which brands you can look for during your next Goodwill visit, whether you’re shopping for furniture, accessories or kitchenware.
We also asked them about what makes these brands special, the price tags you can generally expect to see on items from each brand, and ways you can use the items you find from each brand to decorate. With this in mind, you might not find all of these brands at every Goodwill location. Stores in certain areas may have restrictions on certain types of items (or have specialty stores), so be sure to keep that in mind.
Read on to learn more about vintage brands to grab at Goodwill as soon as you spot them to ensure you don’t miss out on a good deal (and some good pieces) for your home.
1. Henredon View this post on InstagramSarah Hidalgo, a vintage dealer at Her Story Retold, and Susan Petrie, an interior designer at Petrie Interior Designs, both note that they grab any luxury Henredon pieces they spot at Goodwill. “I look for almost any piece from Henredon because I know it will be exceptionally well-made,” says Hidalgo. “At Goodwill, you can sometimes find Henredon pieces for as little as $20–$50, even though many vintage pieces can sell for hundreds or even thousands of dollars, depending on the collection, style, and condition.”
2. Drexel View this post on InstagramDrexel is another brand that offers high-quality furniture you can often find at Goodwill. “Keep an eye out for dressers, credenzas, hutches and end tables,” says Hidalgo. That said, even though you might notice a couple of imperfections on some pieces while shopping, you shouldn’t let that deter you from purchasing. “These pieces were constructed with high-quality woods and veneers and can often be easily restored or refinished,” she adds.
While this might not be the case for every piece from this brand, she notes that you can often find some pieces for $30 or less at Goodwill.

When it comes to durable glassware, Karen Mavros, owner of The New Lincoln Antique Mall and Vintiques & Company, advises adding any Pyrex pieces you see as you make your way through your nearest Goodwill store. “I always look for casserole dishes, refrigerator containers and mixing bowls,” she adds. Not only are items from this brand practical, but they also add a touch of kitchiness, as many of them are fun and eye-catching.

Since Le Creuset can be an investment piece, Jennifer Prince, owner of It’s Found Vintage, does her best to grab any pieces she finds from this brand at Goodwill. While she notes that many of these pieces are more functional than decorative, she finds them to be a beneficial addition to a home. “I recently found a pan at Goodwill for just $8, which was a steal,” she says. “Even if a piece is a specialty piece that only does one job, I think it's worthwhile to grab it while you can.”

If you’re shopping for accessories, Petrie notes that she doesn’t often let any Waterford pieces continue sitting on the shelf once she sees them. “The crystal has incredible clarity, weight, and sparkle, and it instantly elevates a tabletop or bar,” says Petrie. “Also, it's often dramatically underpriced at Goodwill [as] many people inherit crystal and donate it without realizing its value, so it can be one of the best luxury finds in a thrift store.”
6. Bielecky Brothers View this post on InstagramWicker pieces can be expensive, which is why Petrie notes she is always happy when she comes across a piece from Blelecky Brothers at Goodwill. “Bielecky Brothers is a staple and is known for beautifully crafted wicker and rattan furniture that has stood the test of time,” she says. “
7. Dansk View this post on InstagramAccording to Petrie, Dansk is another great brand to grab at Goodwill. “Dansk has always embodied great quality Scandinavian design,” she says. “The pieces are simple, functional and beautifully designed, which is why so many have remained relevant for decades.” This brand also offers a variety of products, from candleholders to ice buckets, that you can often buy at Goodwill at a lower price.
8. LANE View this post on InstagramWhile not all Goodwill locations sell furniture, Mavros notes that you can sometimes find affordable furniture pieces from LANE at Goodwill. “I can usually find pieces in the Chicago metro area in the $22-60 price range, depending on the item and condition,” she explains.
9. Ralph LaurenThere’s no denying that Ralph Lauren is pricey, and why Dr. Lori Verderame, Ph.D., a Pennsylvania-based antiques appraiser, recommends taking advantage of any opportunity you have to make purchases from this brand at Goodwill. While prices may vary depending on the piece, she notes that it will generally be less expensive to purchase from Goodwill than to buy directly from the brand.
10. Knoll View this post on InstagramPerie notes that Knoll is another good furniture brand available at Goodwill. This brand is ideal if you’re looking for more elevated and modern pieces. This furniture can be especially suitable for the living room and offices, to name a few areas where you can utilize your new antiques at home.

AmaWaterways Unveils Europe's Largest New River Cruise Ship—See Inside
If you love the endless dining, grand spaces and killer entertainment of massive ocean mega-ships, but absolutely dread the thought of navigating chaotic crowds of 5,000 strangers, you’ve probably looked into river cruising. But historically, making that switch meant accepting a major compromise. Because standard European river boats have to squeeze through tight, historic locks and slip under low medieval bridges, they are notoriously narrow—leaving very little room for extra amenities.
But AmaWaterways is completely shattering that mold.
The luxury line just dropped the first look at the AmaRudi, its highly anticipated second "double-width" ship debuting on the Danube River in spring 2027. Side-by-side with its famous sister ship, the AmaMagna, this massive new vessel is officially stepping up to reign as the largest river cruise ship in Europe—giving travelers an unprecedented amount of breathing room.
Beyond its game-changing size, the new vessel marks a deeply sentimental milestone. The AmaRudi is the first ship in the company’s history to be named after a man, directly honoring co-founder and Chairman Rudi Schreiner—the pioneering figure who practically invented modern luxury river cruising. In a beautiful, full-circle moment, Schreiner actually grew up exploring the very banks of the Austrian Danube that his namesake ship will soon sail.
"AmaMagna changed what travelers believed was possible on a river cruise ship," says Schreiner. "We knew there would be a right time to revisit that concept, and with river cruising continuing to grow, that time is now. More travelers are making the transition from ocean cruising to rivers, and many are looking for a sense of space and choice. AmaMagna was one of the most rewarding projects of my career, so having this new ship carry my name makes it especially meaningful."
Double the Width, Half the CrowdsAmaWaterways
Even though the AmaRudi features a massive double-width hull that’s twice as wide as traditional river boats, AmaWaterways is intentionally keeping the guest list short. The ship is designed for just 196 guests spread across 98 ultra-spacious staterooms and suites. By keeping the passenger count low, the ship provides loads of personal breathing room, paving the way for expansive, sun-drenched lounges and resort-style perks that used to be physically impossible on a European river cruise.
Take the top deck, for example. Sports fans can head up to the Sun Deck to find a full-sized pickleball court—meaning you can literally smash a volley while floating past the rolling vineyards of Austria’s Wachau Valley or the dramatic, glowing skyline of Budapest. If unwinding is more your speed, head below deck to the state-of-the-art wellness sanctuary. The space features advanced fitness facilities, peaceful relaxation lounges and a full-service salon and spa for professional hair, nail, and massage treatments, all guided by dedicated onboard Wellness Hosts.

Double-Width Suites, a Tech-Forward Social Hub and Soundproof CinemaAmaWaterways
Beyond just giving you more physical space, the AmaRudi is also shaking up the traditionally quiet river cruise nightlife. The ship is introducing a high-tech entertainment hub designed to be the vibrant social heartbeat of the vessel. This multi-functional venue will feature its own private cinema, a billiards room, karaoke and a retro jukebox. And if you're worried about the noise? Don't be. AmaWaterways is integrating advanced, heavy-duty soundproofing throughout the ship's structure, guaranteeing absolute peace and quiet when you retire to your cabin.
That same focus on modern engineering extends directly to the ship’s eco-footprint. Built to protect the beautiful waterways it sails, the AmaRudi will deploy advanced Stage V engines, high-efficiency solar panels and shore-power connectivity to eliminate emissions while docked. It even uses innovative spud poles to anchor the ship without damaging fragile riverbeds.

Nine Dining Venues and an Intimate New Wine BarAmaWaterways
Food and wine lovers are in for a serious treat. The ship's dynamic culinary lineup completely mimics the endless freedom of choice you’d expect on a luxury ocean liner. You can mix things up across multiple distinct dining venues, including the elegant Journey's Restaurant, a signature open-kitchen Chef’s Table experience (which is debuting brand-new Italian lunch menus), and a casual Deck Club barbecue station up on the Sun Deck for some open-air grilling.
But the absolute crown jewel of the drink menu is Rudi's Wine Bar, an intimate, European-style parlor born out of Schreiner's personal passion for global vintages. To top off the whole experience, lunch and dinner aboard the AmaRudi include complimentary, free-flowing beer, soft drinks, and a highly curated, rotating list of more than 30 regional European wines—ensuring your glass is always perfectly paired with the stunning scenery drifting by your window.
