‘The View’ Hosts Demand Fans ‘Leave Kelly Clarkson Alone’ As Singer Faces Backlash Over Weight Loss Confession

Wed, 05/15/2024 - 3:56pm

The View hosts are not having the criticism people are throwing at Kelly Clarkson after her personal admission to using weight loss medication, as the women told everyone to "leave Kelly Clarkson alone."

On a new episode of the talk show, co-host Whoopi Goldberg brought up her recent visit to The Kelly Clarkson Show, when Goldberg and Clarkson opened up about weight loss and health struggles.

Goldberg went on to note that people were mad at Clarkson for using medication because she previously mentioned walking while talking about losing weight in a past interview.

"A lot of people are taking the shot because they need it. Some people need bodies jump-started, some have diabetes, there's lots of reasons," Goldberg began. "[Clarkson] has been walking. But this has helped."

While the show's conversation discussed different angles like how physical health can connect to your mental health, The View hosts all agreed on one thing, "Leave Kelly Clarkson alone," ending the segment by repeating the phrase.

— The View (@TheView) May 15, 2024

The common thread in the women's conversation on the new episode was respecting people's personal decisions regarding how to manage their health, with Goldberg saying, "People have all kinds of issues, and we have to let people do what they need to do to get to where they need to get to."

"Stop being mad that they're not doing it your way!" she concluded, as the audience clapped in response. 

Clarkson said in the recent conversation with Goldberg that she was taking medicine to help with weight loss "'cause my bloodwork got so bad," noting that her doctor was urging her to try the medication for a while. 

Before this, Clarkson didn't talk about her health that much, but she briefly commented on it in an interview in January.

While she mentioned walking in New York City as a way to work out, Clarkson directly stated, "I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor," which matches her latest admission.

Ryan Reynolds Makes Strong Declaration About Taylor Swift's Eras Tour

Wed, 05/15/2024 - 3:52pm

Ryan Reynolds is offering his unabashed opinion on Taylor Swift's latest tour.

While appearing on Today With Hoda & Jenna to promote his new film IF alongside co-stars John Krasinski and Cailey Fleming, Reynolds revealed what he really thinks about the international pop superstar's ongoing Eras tour and if he has any plans to attend future shows overseas. 

The conversation came about as Fleming recalled her experience attending an Eras tour show and walked hosts Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager through her collection of friendship bracelets–a craft Swifties have made part of the experience as many prepare bracelets in advance to trade them at upcoming shows. 

“This one’s from her concert, but it says Bea on it. Our opener’s name was Bea,” the 17-year-old actress said. “I think I blacked out,” she quipped. 

“I’m getting to see her again in October and I’m so excited,” she added, to which Reynolds replied: "Best concert on planet Earth."

Krasinski then chimed in, joking, My daughters were like, 'Your movie’s good but when are we going to Taylor?'"

And they aren't the only ones patiently waiting to make it to one of Swift's concerts as Reynolds interjected, "I’m about to go to the Madrid show."

“Very excited, my wife and kids have been to five of them, five or six now," the 47-year-old Deadpool actor noted. 

Speaking of his wife, Blake Lively (who also happens to be BFFS with the 34-year-old "Fortnight" songstress), and their four kids' experience at past concerts, he said: "They love it, they’re obsessed."

The international pop superstar only kicked off the European leg of her incredibly popular Eras tour last week, but fear not, Swifties are already keeping track of all the changes she's made to shows since her brief hiatus from touring and, of course, tallying the sightings of her NFL star beau, Travis Kelce.

Cream Cheese Sold at Aldi Recalled Across Dozens of States

Wed, 05/15/2024 - 3:31pm

Aldi has issued a recall for four specific kinds of cream cheese that were sold in more than two dozen U.S. states.

The recall notice was issued on May 9 in cooperation with Schreiber Foods, Inc. The recall, which Aldi said was issued “out of an abundance of caution,” was prompted by a concern that the four specific cream cheese products could have a “potential salmonella” risk.

The four cream cheese products impacted by the recall include the Happy Farms Whipped Cream Cheese Spread, Chive & Onion Cream Cheese Spread, Cream Cheese Spread and the Strawberry Cream Cheese Spread. The recall affects cream cheese products sold in 8-ounce packaging with varying sell by dates in August and September of this year. The specific sell by dates and UPC codes of the impacted products are included on Aldi’s official recall notice and on the list below.

Whipped Cream Cheese Spread
  • Sell By Dates: Aug. 30, 2024; Aug. 31, 2024; Sept. 1, 2024; Sept. 3, 2024; Sept. 4, 2024
  • UPC Code: 4099100101881
Chive & Onion Cream Cheese Spread
  • Sell By Dates: Sept. 13, 2024; Sept. 22, 2024
  • UPC Code: 4099100101751
Cream Cheese Spread
  • Sell By Dates: Sept. 1, 2024; Sept. 8, 2024; Sept. 15, 2024
  • UPC Code: 4099100101737
Strawberry Cream Cheese Spread
  • Sell By Dates: Sept. 8, 2024; Sept. 15, 2024
  • UPC Code: 4099100101744

According to Aldi’s recall notice, the impacted cream cheese products were sold in stores across the country. In addition to Washington, D.C., the following 28 states have Aldi stores that sold the products impacted by the recall: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Aldi customers who discover that they have any of the recalled cream cheese products in their possession have been advised to either throw the products out or return them to Aldi, where the supermarket chain said they can receive “a full refund.” Customers seeking additional information about the recall have been urged to contact Schreiber Foods, Inc.

People exposed to salmonella can experience a variety of symptoms including stomach upset, fevers and headaches. While many people who contract a salmonella infection typically recover on their own in four to seven days, the infection can cause dehydration and, in some cases, may require medical attention, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Popeyes Debuts Taylor Swift-Inspired Offer With Subtle Dig

Wed, 05/15/2024 - 3:14pm

Popeyes is a certified Taylor Swift fan–and yes, we're talking about the fried chicken chain. 

On Wednesday, May 15, the brand took a page from the pop superstar's handbook and revealed its latest deal offer in a style the "Fortnight" songstress would certainly approve of. 

In honor of National Customer Appreciation Day on Friday, May 17, the quick service restaurant is giving back to its loyal fans by offering a free Golden BBQ Sandwich (in the form of 600 bonus points) with any purchase valued at $10 or more. 

Clearly, it's not the freebie that's making us think Popeyes has bad blood with one of its competitors, it's the way the company went about promoting it.  

Alongside a black-and-white photo featuring a fried chicken sandwich resting on a pillow–an obvious nod to the artwork associated with Swift's latest studio album, The Tortured Poets Department–the nationwide fast food chain also included a message with a riddle (or an Easter egg as Swifties would say). 

The promotional text read: "pOPEyes says thaNks! rewardS members: yoU caN enjoy a golDen bbq sAndwich on us when You Spend $10." 

At a passing glance, you may miss the hidden message spelled out in capital letters: "OPEN SUNDAYS," an apparent yet very subtle dig at Chick-fil-A, Popeyes' competitor that's notoriously closed on Sundays. 

Popeyes promotional offer: "pOPEyes says thaNks! rewardS members: yoU caN enjoy a golDen bbq sAndwich on us when You Spend $10."

Popeyes

Professional digs and Swiftie status aside, Popeyes' Golden BBQ Sandwich is brand-new to menus, so even if you're a fan of both chicken chains (and not Miss Americana), this is a pretty opportune time to try out the menu item–or whatever else you want to redeem those free 600 bonus points for. 

Popeyes rewards members can score the limited-time offer now through Sunday, June 30, but only at participating restaurants. The official offer terms also clarify the deal is not available through third-party delivery apps, so you're best off ordering directly from Popeyes.

Exes Tarek El Moussa and Christina Hall—and Their New Spouses—Battle It Out in New HGTV Show

Wed, 05/15/2024 - 3:01pm

Ex-spouses Tarek El Moussa and Christina Hall are headed back to the small screen for another joint project.

The HGTV stars—who previously worked alongside one another on Flip or Flop while married, before splitting in 2016 and finalizing their divorce two years later—recently filmed a show together, this time with the inclusion of their new spouses.

The former couple is reuniting for The Flip Off, "a battle to see who can find, buy, renovate, and flip a house for the biggest financial gain," according to a social media post shared by the home improvement TV network on Wednesday, May 15.

The debut included a video trailer clip, which teased what fans can expect from the show, a twist on the original broadcast previously hosted by El Moussa and Hall, whom also share two children—daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, 8.

For the reunion, this time around, each party will be working alongside their own spouse (vs. each other...), as El Moussa teams up with his wife, Selling Sunset's Heather Rae, and Hall partners with her husband, real estate agent Josh.

Each couple will duel it out to see who can come out victorious in the competition for more money made off of a renovated and sold property.

"I never thought I'd be doing this," Hall says in the trailer, while El Moussa admits, "This is one of the defining moments of my life."

A post shared by HGTV (@hgtv)

Viewers in the comment section seemed to have positive reactions to the new series, with one applauding, "This is actually brilliant marketing strategy on both sides — well done 👏." 

"Love to see their relationship growth 👏👏 congrats to Tarek & Christina for being able to work together in different ways of their life. Love it 👏👏," another said, while a third echoed that sentiment: "I never thought I'd see Tarek and Christina on a show together again! I'm excited for this competition!!"

"Uh, let’s put ALL differences aside 😂💵," someone else joked.

"Shut the front door, OMG this is gonna be amazing!!!" an additional commenter exclaimed.

Though no date was specified as to when fans can expect the series to release, it is said to be coming sometime in 2025, with a teaser note reading, "Be on the lookout for the spicy new series that’ll have you saying, 'What the flip?!'🔥."

Swiftie's Eras Tour Footage Shows the Moment She Passed Out During Paris Concert

Wed, 05/15/2024 - 3:00pm

Attending a Taylor Swift concert can be an overwhelming experience for her biggest fans. In fact, some even pass out mid-show when they’re struck by a particular song or performance choice made onstage.

This happened to one of Swift’s fans last week when they attended one of her shows in Paris on Friday, May 9. The concert was the second of four consecutive nights that the “Cruel Summer” singer played in the City of Love as she kicked off the European leg of her popular international Eras Tour.

In a short video that TikToker Sophie shared online, the Swiftie provided a hint at what the footage portrayed in a text overlay: “pov: taylor’s surprise song slayed too hard and you fainted.”

The 12-second TikTok began with a view of the “Lover” songstress sitting at her piano onstage. She played a few notes before singing the opening lyric of “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,” one of the 31 tracks included on her new double album The Tortured Poets Department.

As Swift sang the lyric, the camera angle shifted, turning away from the stage and losing focus as it began shaking. Someone nearby could then be heard calling for help while Sophie fainted.

The video captured “the humble moment of being carried over the barricade,” according to Sophie’s TikTok caption. She later assured people who left comments on the post that she was “alive 😋.”

@sophieeherrmann

the humble moment of being carried over the barricade @Taylor Swift @Taylor Nation [ #taylorswift #theerastour #erastourparis #parisnight2 #parisn2 #earstourparisn2 ]

♬ original sound - sophie

One person who appeared to have been with Sophie during her fainting spell shared their own point of view from the moment captured on video: “pov the security guards suddenly werent there 🤣 🤣.”

Sophie responded, telling the person who commented that they had been her very own “security guard.”

While Swift’s fans mostly know what to expect from her Eras Tour performances, the pop star did recently introduce a new “era” to her shows by incorporating songs from The Tortured Poets Department, which she released on April 19. Her four shows in Paris provided fans with the first time they have heard Swift perform the songs from the new album in a live setting.

The “Anti-Hero” singer has also continued sprinkling surprise songs, or songs that aren’t part of every Eras Tour concert, into her shows. She typically incorporates two songs or mashups into this section of her performance, with her May 9 show marking the first time that she included “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys.”

Princess Beatrice Celebrates Friend's Newborn in Intimate Photos

Wed, 05/15/2024 - 2:19pm

Princess Beatrice is running on a busy schedule as of late, but that's not keeping her from spending time with her loved ones.

On Wednesday, May 15, the Princess of York was photographed at a party in London for her dear pal Alice Naylor-Leyland, who was celebrating a joyful new addition to her household. 

The entrepreneur invited a close-knit group of loved ones–including the 35-year-old princess–to participate in welcoming her fourth child, Margot, who was born via surrogate in April, to the family.

Naylor-Leyland shared a handful of photos to her Instagram page, and in them, fans spotted Beatrice, who was wearing a green dress and was filled with jubilee in the group shot.

"The Happiest Day Welcoming Miss Margot 👏🏻🇬🇧 Thank you Dearest @eagletta for having this merry bunch & to @carorupert for all the Treats 🧁 Rarely do I wish I could do something all over again, but this was special BEYOND," the happy mom-of-four captioned the sweet pictures.

Beatrice, who shares 2-year-old daughter Sienna with her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi and is a stepmom to 8-year-old Christopher "Wolfie" Woolf, has been rather busy these last few weeks as she's made several public appearances, including one in New York City to promote her charity work, and it doesn't look like her professional life is slowing down anytime soon.

Rumor has it that Beatrice may step in to fulfill Kate Middleton's royal duties as the Princess of Wales continues "preventative chemotherapy" treatment amid her ongoing battle with an unspecified type of cancer

We already know Taylor Swift is a big Grey's Anatomy fan, and apparently, the adoration goes both ways!

Grey's star Jessica Capshaw—who is known for playing Dr. Arizona Robbins on the hit ABC medical drama—was among the crowd of fans at Swift's latest Eras Tour concert in Paris, and she got to snap a photo with the "Fortnight" songstress after the show.

The Real Reason Why Shereé Whitfield Left 'The Real Housewives of Atlanta'

Wed, 05/15/2024 - 1:58pm

The Real Housewives of Atlanta seems to be undergoing some major renovations for the upcoming Season 16. Over the past several months, we've heard that several current cast members will not be returning for the newest season of the Bravo staple. Among them is Shereé Whitfield, which prompted a wave of outrage and confusion upon news that she was not on the Season 16 cast list.

Why did Shereé Whitfield leave RHOA? And is there a chance she'll return yet again? Here's everything we know so far.

Related: Everything to Know About The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16

Is Shereé Whitfield on The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16?

No! A press release announcing the RHOA Season 16 cast did not include Sheree's name, as first reported by Entertainment Weekly.

Why did Shereé Whitfield leave The Real Housewives of Atlanta?

At the time of this article's publication, there has not been an official statement from Shereé nor any additional information as to the exact reason why she is not returning to RHOA. If we were to hazard a guess at this moment, we'd assume it was part of the near-unanimous turnover of the cast after Season 15. At this moment, only two cast members, Kenya Moore and Drew Sidora, are staying on from Seasons 15 to 16.

Has Shereé Whitfield left The Real Housewives of Atlanta before?

Yes! This is in fact the third time in Shereé's tenure on RHOA that she has left the show. Shereé was part of the longtime series' first season in 2008, and starred for the first four years before leaving in 2008. She came back four years later as a housewife "friend" in Season 8, before returning to the cast formally the next year. She stayed on one more year after that before leaving again in 2018. Once more, a couple of years passed before Shereé returned yet again as a guest for Season 13, joining the main cast for the third time for the next two seasons.

Who else has left The Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 16?

Announcement of Shereé's absences just caps off a long series of departures in anticipation of RHOA's sixteenth season. Of course, the Bravo world was rocked a few months ago when Kandi Burruss, the franchise's longest-running housewife, announced she wouldn't be coming back to the show. News of her departure was also followed by Marlo Hampton and Sanya Richards-Ross, who had joined the series in Season 14.

Will Shereé Whitfield star on another reality show after The Real Housewives of Atlanta?

As the circumstances surrounding Shereé's departure are murky at this moment, there's no news as to whether she'll be appearing on another reality show in lieu of RHOA. However, with Shereé making her debut on competitive reality TV earlier this year in the smash hit The Traitors Season 2, the sky's the limit!

Celine Dion's Fans Gush Over Her Photo Posing With 3 Grown Sons and Mick Jagger

Wed, 05/15/2024 - 1:37pm

Amid Celine Dion's personal health struggles, she has recently been seen out and about, staying busy and enjoying quality time with family and friends.

In her latest update, Dion shared a new photo on Instagram of her exciting time watching The Rolling Stones in concert in Las Vegas with her three adult sons. 

The singer also took her kids backstage to chat with none other than Mick Jagger, with the crew posing for a cute picture together. In the snap, Dion looked beautiful in a bright red long-sleeved dress and tan heels, while her sons looked casually suave. 

Dion stood between Jagger, who wore a black t-shirt and patterned button-up, and one of her twin boys, Nelson, with the other twin, Eddy, standing on Jagger's opposite side. The singer's eldest son, René-Charles, posed with an arm around his brother at the end. Dion shares all three children with her late husband, René Angélil.

"This past Saturday, I got a chance to catch the @therollingstones in concert on their #hackneydiamonds tour at @allegiantstadium in Vegas," Dion introduced the post. "What an incredible show! A very special thanks to @mickjagger for warmly welcoming my family. You got us rocking! - Celine xx..."

Fans were ecstatic to see Dion having a good time at the concert, gushing over her in the comments. "You look radiant, you’re a blessing to us! 🔥❤️🔥," wrote one fan, as another replied, "😍 Wow céline you look so amazing 😍 RC ❤️ Eddie & Nelly 😮."

Similar comments rolled in like, "It's good to see you again Celine 😍," "Céline looks so beautiful," and "So wonderful to see Celine out enjoying life with her boys."

As Dion continues facing health struggles due to stiff person syndrome—a diagnosis she first shared with the world in 2022—she has been quite active in 2024 so far, attending hockey games and having dinner with friends

Why Fans Think Taylor Swift Has a Secret Role in Ryan Reynold's Next Film

Wed, 05/15/2024 - 1:34pm

Ever since Taylor Swift welcomed Ryan Reynolds, Wolverine actor Hugh Jackman, and Deadpool 3 (AKA, Deadpool & Wolverine) director Shawn Levy into her private suite at Metlife Stadium where the Kansas City Chiefs took on the New York Jets last October, rumors have persisted that the singer was somehow involved in the next iteration of the Marvel series.  

The director later sidestepped questions about a potential cameo from the superstar telling Entertainment Tonight that “all of America knows” that he “can’t answer” the question and blatantly stating, "That is hardly confirmed nor denied in this interview,” as they pushed the amused creator for a solid answer, but Swifties are convinced that Marvel just indirectly confirmed the "Karma" songstress' casting themselves. 

The comic giant issued a teaser for an upcoming run of new comics for Dazzler, a superhero that can convert sound vibrations into light and who hasn't had regular features in any media since the '80s—the decade Swift was very proudly born in. In the graphic uploaded to their Facebook page, they wrote, "Her world tour begins!" 

While the character does use her powers to help her as a performer, the fact that Swift is currently on a record-breaking world tour seems too much of a coincidence to look past

@reeceofcake

Marvel is adding to the rumors of @Taylor Swift as Dazzler with this new comic series! #dazzler #marvel #taylorswift

♬ original sound - Reece of Cake

One fan, named Reece, has collated as much evidence as possible, also calling on several lyrics in the new song "Clara Bow" that could be easter eggs for the project, a new addition to the Eras Tour setlist where her image is warped at the end of The Tortured Poets Department set to have completely white eyes, which matches the design of Dazzler in uniform.  

Other uncanny nods include the character wearing a mirrorball necklace, the character's first name, Alison, being Swift's middle name, and more offbeat connections. 

Unfortunately, as Levy has previously stated, we'll all have to wait until the film comes out on July 26 to know whether the clues were real or the theories were all in vain.

Aldi's Cute New $10 Summer-Friendly Foldable Basket Coolers Have Shoppers Ready to Buy Every Style Now

Wed, 05/15/2024 - 1:30pm

Out of all the items to have a moment this year, coolers and picnic baskets were the last thing on my bingo card. Not that there’s anything wrong with them, but unless you’re Martha Stewart, a basket tends to be pretty…meh. Sure, it’s utilitarian to the nth degree and there’s a reason they’ve remained relatively unchanged, but once you’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all, right? I sure thought so, but I’m happy to admit when I’m wrong (most of the time), and I couldn’t have been more ill-informed.

In recent weeks, retailers from Target to Five Below have put their signature summer-ready twist on everything from retro-inspired picnic coolers to collapsible picnic baskets—and the latest brand to jump on the statement cooler bandwagon is none other than everyone’s favorite budget-friendly grocer, Aldi. In addition to mini Always Pan dupes and nostalgic Icee Maker kits, the fan-favorite supermarket chain just added another useful, seasonal item to its famous Aldi Finds section, and we’re dying for one in every color.

Crane Soft-Sided Basket Cooler

Aldi

A vibrant array of Crane Soft-Sided Basket Coolers started popping up at Aldi stores this week, and if you thought this was just another basket, you might want to think again. These stunning coolers are the perfect companion to your summer picnic due to their ingenious insulated interior and lightweight, foldable design. Each basket features padded aluminum handles for easy carrying, as well as a zippered exterior compartment for additional storage. Not only are the coolers incredibly handy, but they’re ultra-cute, too! Whether you’re into palm trees, stripes, honey bees, fruit or even if turquoise checkered print happens to be your vibe, Aldi has the perfect cooler for you.

Even better than the endless functionality and killer good looks, though, is the shockingly low price of just $9.99. At that price, you could grab two coolers, food and drinks to fill them with, all while still managing to spend less than $50. Of course, like most things at Aldi, these are sure to sell out fast, so you might want to race to your nearest store to ensure you get first pick at all the cute prints. Fortunately, if you happen to miss out on this deal, Target has got you covered with an equally adorable cooler from their summer-ready Sun Squad line.

Walmart Is Selling a 'Gorgeous' Faux Olive Tree That's Shockingly Similar to a Pottery Barn Version That's Almost 10x the Price

Wed, 05/15/2024 - 1:15pm

Adding greenery to your home can liven up any space, but not everyone has the time or the green thumb necessary to take care of real live plants. Thankfully, artificial plants have come a long way and can fool anyone into thinking you’ve got the real thing growing in your home.

You can find virtually every type of tree, shrub, or flower in faux form these days, but one of our all-time favorite plants is the simple and understated olive tree. We love this specific flora because it fits so easily into any corner or nook, and right now Walmart has one of the impressive artificial olive tree plant deals on the market. 

Dr.Planzen 6-Foot Artificial Olive Plant, From $40 (was $110) at Walmart

Young olive trees are smaller and slimmer in nature, which is what this plant aims to recreate in artificial form, and does so remarkably well. The trunk and branches of the tree are made from natural yellow cattle wood and are adorned with stunning silk leaves, as well as artificial olives sprinkled throughout the plant.

It’s available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 4 to 7 feet in height. Each tree comes pre-assembled and with a black planter pot that you can keep as is, or fit into a fancier stand. All you have to do is bend the branches a bit, which shoppers say are “easy to spread out,” and you’re done! No further care necessary.

Thousands of reviewers are gushing about this tree because of just how “beautiful” and “perfect” it is for their spaces. One reviewer says it “looks gorgeous in the corner of my bedroom,” and another claims they get “compliments all the time” on this tree from guests. But what shoppers overwhelmingly love most is the “affordable” price, especially considering how much more expensive faux olive trees that look nearly identical to this one are from other brands. Take this bestselling tree from Pottery Barn, for example. The branches may be spaced out differently and the hue of the wood and leaves isn’t an exact match, but the olive tree from Walmart looks just as lifelike as this pricier version for a fraction of the cost.

If you’ve wanted to add some greenery, and specifically an olive tree to your home for a while, this is the time to get your hands on this plant. It’s currently on flash sale, which means you save up to $70 on this stunning plant while the deal is active. Don't wait around and miss your chance to save big!

Pringles ‘One Ups’ the Competition With Several New Flavors Fans Can’t Believe Are Real

Wed, 05/15/2024 - 1:11pm

Pringles seems to be having a comeback moment—and fans are not at all opposed to the renaissance of the chip that gained popularity in the 1980s-90s.

Over the past several months, the brand has introduced a myriad of new flavor and product innovations, from Cheesy Jalapeño Popper and Texas BBQ Brisket, to the very recently-debuted Pringles Mingles puffed snacks, which saw it ditching its iconic can altogether in favor of another type of packaging for the first time in 15 years.

Now, it's bringing forth yet another new lineup of flavors, which fans luckily got a peek at, thanks to food blogger Markie Devo.

In an Instagram post uploaded Monday, May 13, Markie showed off the trio: Carnitas Taco, All Dressed, and Limited Edition Minecraft Spicy TNT.

"NO WAY did Pringles just one up Frito and give us all dressed.😮‍💨," the caption opened in disbelief.

The social media post also shared a bit more about the flavor notes of the "2 new and 1 limited flavor heading to stores," giving insight that Carnitas Taco is "bursting with the savory flavor of pork carnitas and aromatic seasonings including onion, garlic, cumin, and oregano," and All Dressed—which was previously only sold in Canada—is "bursting with tangy, sweet, and savory flavor featuring onion, garlic, vinegar and a blend of spices."

Meanwhile, Limited Edition Minecraft Spicy TNT is "crafted with a blend of spicy flavors."

It further noted that while the limited edition offering has popped up in some Target retailers, the other two additions have yet to be found on shelves, but will eventually "be sold at stores that carry the brand."

Fans swung by the comment section to express their elation for the flavors to-come.

"YASSS ALL DRESSED PRINGLES ARE GONNA BE SO GOOD," one scream-wrote, while another admitted, "Omg these all sound good. I’m such a sucker for Pringles."

"I need all of them," a third added, as a fourth joked, "It is getting out of control lol."

For fans craving more from the brand, the new line of puffed Pringles treats is being offered in three different variations, each one offering a tasty combination of two great flavors: Cheddar & Sour Cream, Sharp White Cheddar & Ranch, and Dill Pickle & Ranch.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's Daughter Shiloh Impresses With Dance Moves in New Video: 'Her Movement is Crazy'

Wed, 05/15/2024 - 12:53pm

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter Shiloh may have found her calling!

The 17-year-old is rising on up in the dance world, as evidenced by a new video uploaded to Instagram by choreographer Lil Kelaan Carter, where the teen's reflection was filmed in a wall of studio mirrors as she danced to “Tanzania” by Uncle Waffles and Tony Duardo featuring Sino Msolo and Boibizza.

Shiloh rocked her bold buzzcut and wore a pair of gray sweatpants, a sweat-soaked navy blue T-shirt with orange lettering on it, and a pair of white sneakers as she performed the hip-hop-style choreography, and fans say she was on fire the whole time. 

“Her movement is crazy ✨🔥🔥🔥 Thank you for your energy @sh1lohj,” Carter wrote in the caption, with several followers flooding the comment section with more fire emojis in response.

Someone else was certain that she'd become a "star in the dance world!" They continued, "Good for her! She gots the move!😂," while another suggested, "Very good She should try out for So you think you can dance."

Meanwhile, Shiloh's younger sister Vivienne is also staying true to her creative roots, working as a production assistant on the new Broadway musical The Outsiders alongside her mom, who served as a producer on the project.

Sophie Turner Makes Bold Declaration About Taylor Swift After Joe Jonas Divorce

Wed, 05/15/2024 - 12:48pm

Taylor Swift is definitely not the "Anti-Hero" in Sophie Turner's story. 

The actress actually called Swift her "hero" in a recent interview with British Vogue, where she opened up about the fallout of her divorce from Joe Jonas

After four years of marriage, the Jonas Brothers crooner filed to divorce Turner in September 2023. Shortly after, the exes became embroiled in a back-and-forth custody battle about the parenting plan for their two young daughters, Willa and Delphine

After returning from filming in the U.K. last September, Turner found herself in New York without a place to stay—and it was Swift, 34, who came to her rescue by offering up her place up for free. 

"Taylor was an absolute hero to me this year," Turner, 28, told the outlet in the new interview published Wednesday, May 15. "I've never been more grateful to anyone than I am for her." 

The Game of Thrones alum further gushed, "She took my children and me, and provided us with a home and a safe space," before adding, "She really has a heart of gold." 

Turner and Swift were later spotted enjoying some girls' nights out in New York City last fall after Turner split from Jonas, who Swift knows all too well from her own brief relationship with the "Sucker" singer. 

Swift and Jonas dated in 2008 when they were both teenagers, though they didn't end on the best of terms as the "Fortnight songstress would later reveal on the Ellen show that Jonas broke up with her over the phone in less than 30 seconds. 

The breakup ended up inspiring Swift's song "Forever & Always," and Jonas even seemed to be the center of the vault track "Mr. Perfectly Fine," which she released with the re-recording of her Fearless (Taylor's Version) album in 2021. 

Turner, who was still married to Jonas at the time of "Mr. Perfectly Fine"'s release admitted that Swift's new (but old) diss track about Jonas was "not NOT a bop," though we didn't know just how much she would come to mean that statement years later. 

Despite fan speculation Taylor’s new song from the vault ‘Mr. Perfectly Fine’ is about Joe Jonas, Sophie Turner thinks it’s a bop pic.twitter.com/kV9M4S16jA

Wed, 05/15/2024 - 12:43pm

Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.

Summer is fast approaching—and with warm weather comes plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors: camping, grilling, and backyard movie screenings. To help you welcome the season, Solo Stove is taking up to 30% off its much-beloved fire pits, bundles, and accessories through May 27.

During Solo Stove's Memorial Day sale, shoppers can save hundreds on favorites like the Yukon, Ranger, and the Pi Pizza Oven.

For those unfamiliar, Solo Stove’s fire pits offer all of the benefits of a campfire but with a design that promotes airflow and much less smoke. The fire pits range from a pint-size model designed for use on a tabletop to the Yukon which can provide heat for a small crowd.

Here’s are the best deals to shop during Solo Stove’s Memorial Day sale:

Solo Stove Mesa XL, $80 (was $110) at Solo Stove

For less than $100, s’mores lovers can indulge in their favorite chocolate and marshmallow treat all summer long with the Mesa XL. This tabletop fire pit can use pellets or small pieces of dry wood, up to 7 inches long, to fuel its flame. Like the rest of Solo Stove’s offerings, the Mesa XL uses the 360 Signature Airflow design, which minimizes the smoke produced. Best of all, the Mesa XL comes in several color ways to match your aesthetic.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "I love this thing. It is easy to start and easy to maintain. It’s nice to be able to hear the crackle of the firewood and smell the oak. It’s the perfect addition to my porch for the summer!! Thanks Solo Stove!"

Solo Stove Yukon 2.0, $400 (was $500) at Solo Stove

Courtesy of Solo Stove

Measuring in at about 27 inches across and 17 inches tall, the Yukon is perfect for a group of friends to sit around during a cold, summer night. During the Memorial Day sale, shoppers can save $100 on Solo Stove’s most popular model. It’s an investment, but with Solo Stove’s Lifetime Warranty, you can shop worry-free.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "Fired it up last weekend. Lighting was simple, fire stayed hot with minimal effort, and we didn’t smell when the night was over. Easy clean up. Looks great. Hope it lasts a long time. If you’re on the fence, go ahead and buy. You won’t be disappointed."

Solo Stove Pi Ultimate Bundle, $480 (was $750) at Solo Stove

Courtesy of Solo Stove

You can unleash your inner pizzaiolo with everything you need to sling 12-inch pies for $270 less than usual. The Pi Dual Fuel Ultimate Bundle includes both a bamboo and stainless pizza peel, a turner, thermometer, pizza cutter, silicone mat, protective cover, stand, and the internet famous Pi Pizza Oven. For those looking for the flexibility of using propane, in addition to wood, opt for the Wood & Gas option for $600 (which is $280 less than the usual price).

What Shoppers Are Saying: "The Solo Stove Pi pizza oven is amazing. I got the dual fuel option. I just put it in the rv and away we go. Nothing like a nice hot pizza whilst watching the stars!"

Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0, $230 (was $300) at Solo Stove

Courtesy of Solo Stove

For shoppers looking for all of the functionality of a larger Solo Stove with a bit more portability, the Bonfire 2.0 may be the Goldilocks option. Measuring in at under 20 inches across, 14 inches tall, and about 23 pounds, the Bonfire 2.0 is pretty portable and big enough for a group to enjoy. Better still, it comes with a carrying case and removable base plate and ash pan which will make cleaning up after a camping trip and packing a breeze.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "Shipping was quick and I had to hurry and get my stove location ready. The smokeless aspect is very much nice. No more making clothes and hair smell like a campfire. I like that the carry bag can double as a cover since I'll probably never carry it anywhere. I made my own lower ring from a wine barrel metal band."

Solo Stove Fire Pit Surround, $280 (was $350) at Solo Stove 

Courtesy of Solo Stove

Already own a Solo Stove? Don’t fret. This sale is a great time to stock up on accessories to upgrade your experience, including the Fire Pit Surround. It’s no secret: Solo Stove fire pits get hot. In fact, you should always wait at least an hour after the flames have died to handle. Of course, if your activities involve those who are less deferential to safety best practices, namely children and pets, investing in a Surround is a good idea. For those who own a Bonfire or a Ranger, the Surround will cost $280, while Yukon and Canyon owners pay a $330 premium for peace of mind.

What Shoppers Are Saying: "Was getting so tired of telling my toddlers that they were too close to the fire. This surround is great."
