A scheduled visit to the United Kingdom by Prince Harry and his family may include a stay at Princess Diana's childhood home.

PEOPLE Magazine reported that the visit coincides with the one-year countdown to the 2027 Invictus Games in Birmingham, England. The sporting event will occur between July 10–17, 2027.

It has been reported that Harry will not be alone for this particular trip. He may be accompanied by his wife, Meghan Markle, and their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

This will be the first trip back to the United Kingdom for the children since Archie was an infant. This would be Lilibet's first time traveling to her father's ancestral homeland.

Meghan left the UK in 2020, after she and Harry announced via Instagram they would step back from their roles as senior royals. They wrote, "After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen."

This trip is shifting the focus to Princess Diana's childhood home, Althorp. It is where she has been laid to rest, on an island on the property only accessible by boat.

Althorp, which is the property held by Diana's brother, Charles, the 9th Earl Spencer, shared on its official website that it will be closed on July 10th and 11th, dates that coincide with the Invictus Games event. The grounds are typically open for tours throughout July and August.

The website does not state why the attraction will be closed to visitors on those days. It is also unclear whether Harry and his family would visit the property during the closure.

Harry or Charles Spencer has not revealed whether or not the family would stay at the property during their time in the United Kingdom. Harry previously stayed at Althorp when he visited the country in August 2024 for Lord Robert Fellows' funeral.

King Charles was said to have offered Harry accommodations "on a royal estate" reported PEOPLE. However, it has not been publicly revealed whether or not the offer is still pending, where it is, or whether or not Harry has taken his father up on his offer.

Princess Diana's birthday is on July 1. She would have been 64.

It has been an active week in the Nancy Guthrie case, with new developments emerging about the ongoing investigation.

In a new interview with Megyn Kelly, former FBI agent Maureen O'Connell shared a major update about the individual known as "porch guy."

"I think they're close right now to pulling this case together—that's what my sources are telling me," O'Connell told Kelly. "Things are happening."

"One of the reasons it's taking so long is because whatever defense attorney takes this investigation and represents whoever they charge in this case, you have to operate under the assumption, like from day 1, you're doing your trial prep. ... You're going to have the greatest defense attorney in the world handling this case, whoever takes this case. So, you have to operate under the assumption that a couple of big chunks of your evidence may get tossed."

https://youtube.com/shorts/YVbp5QeDfmM?is=JOwCuZfP_3iyWDVp

"I think we're getting closer. I actually really do think they are getting closer," O'Connell continued. When Kelly asked her to elaborate, she replied, "I think they're getting close to the 'porch guy.' And when they get the porch guy, the floodgates will swing open."

Kelly asked O'Connell how confident she is and she replied, "75%."

“Porch guy” refers to the person seen on Guthrie’s front stoop the night she disappeared. Security camera footage from Guthrie’s Google Nest was recovered early in the investigation and later shared publicly. Although the individual in the footage is wearing a balaclava, authorities have reportedly focused on limited visible features, including eye shape.

O’Connell’s comments come as reports circulate that one of the ransom notes allegedly indicated Guthrie had died.

For now, investigators have not confirmed any major developments, but O’Connell’s confidence that the case is “getting closer” has added new intrigue to an already closely watched investigation.

Guthrie, 84, has been missing since Feb. 1. Anyone with information is asked to call Tucson’s 88-Crime hotline at 1-520-882-7463 or the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

The Thermals, the post-pop-punk and indie rock band, teased fans with a major milestone set for the coming months.

Fronted by Hutch Harris alongside bassist Kathy Foster, the band announced the release of a new album scheduled for September 4.

In an Instagram update, The Thermals posted the cover of their soon-to-be-released LP titled Under the Crushing Rain.

The upcoming  10-track record will be their eighth studio album and their first album in 10 years since We Disappear in 2016.

Following the announcement, fans couldn't help but share their excitement for the band’s new project.

“I’ve been waiting for this!!! So excited!!” one wrote,

“Holy bejeebus I’m so god—n excited for this record!” a commenter said.

“I'm glad you're still making music. Hopefully the band can get back together for some shows someday,” a fan added.

“What a great kick off to the fall!” another echoed.

As for others, they are hoping The Thermals will go on tour now that they have new music for fans.

Under the Crushing Rain will feature the band’s early style in their music.

Moreover, Harris spoke about the creative process of the upcoming album, revealing that he wrote and recorded most of the songs alone in his studio, Brainwash, in an attempt to revive the “fast, cheap and totally in control” spirit of their first album, More Parts Per Million, released in 2003.

As for his bandmate, Harris revealed Foster’s involvement while working on the album.

“I kindly answer ‘SHE’S RIGHT HERE, sitting next to me working hard on the layout for the LP, as I write this.’ Not only did I have Kathy’s blessing to make a Thermals LP, I also had her help as well,” he mentioned as cited by Consequence.

On Instagram, he also shared a glimpse of their journey, giving fans a sneak peek of their creative process behind the album.

In addition to the surprising album, The Thermals also released their lead single “Spirit Collectors,” which is now available on streaming.

According to Harris, the song has an energetic, loud and gritty vibe meant to keep demons, which he refers to as negative or harmful forces, away.

“The evil fiends without arts of their own; lacking love and talent and with no drive to create life, their quest is only to steal from you everything for which you have worked so hard,” he described the track as cited by the same outlet.

Before the launch of Under the Crushing Rain, The Thermals had been inactive since disbanding in 2018, making it their first new release in years.

The Big Bang Theory fans are getting an action-packed new look at the beloved sitcom's new spinoff, Stuart Fails to Save the Universe.

HBO Max released the first full trailer for Stuart Fails to Save the Universe on Tuesday, June 23, giving viewers their most action-packed preview yet of the multiversal comedy, which features plenty of familiar Big Bang Theory characters. (Watch the trailer below.)

After comic book store owner Stuart Bloom (Kevin Sussman) breaks a device built by loyal customers Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons) and Leonard Hofstadter (Johnny Galecki) and accidentally brings about "a multiverse Armageddon," it's up to him to "set things right," despite his obvious lack of experience in the universe-saving department.

Stuart's unlikely pivot to hero takes him on a series of wild adventures to different realities that are previewed in the trailer, including one that looks a lot like The Matrix and others that lean into familiar sci-fi universe tropes reminiscent of Mad Max and Attack of the 50 Foot Woman.

Asked for his plan of action, Stuart answers, "I don't really have one," reminding the group, "I'm kind of new to the action genre."

Joining Stuart on his adventures are other familiar Big Bang Theory characters, including geologist and comic book customer Bert Kibbler (Brian Posehn), Stuart’s ex-girlfriend Denise (Lauren Lapkus), and quantum physicist Barry Kripke (John Ross Bowie). HBO Max has also promised that the show will feature "alternate-universe versions" of other characters from The Big Bang Theory world.

Stuart Fails to Save the Universe is the fourth Big Bang Theory spinoff, with Young Sheldon wrapping with a series finale in 2024 after seven seasons, and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage set to return for its third season on CBS this fall.

Stuart Fails to Save the Universe premieres on July 23 on HBO Max.

Twenty-five years is a long time to wait for something. On June 22, the exact anniversary of the day The Fast and the Furious opened in theaters, Universal announced the film is returning in a new form, and for the first time, the people who made it finally sat down together to say what it meant.

The centerpiece of the 25th anniversary release is a never-before-seen retrospective filmed at this year's Cannes Film Festival, where the original movie received a midnight screening. Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Jordana Brewster, producer Neal Moritz, and Meadow Walker (Paul Walker's daughter) gathered for an on-camera conversation about the origins and enduring legacy of the film. It is the first time the surviving core group has reflected on the franchise together in a recorded format since Walker's death in 2013.

The retrospective is included as a bonus feature on the 4K Ultra HD remaster releasing August 25, which presents the film in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, the first time it has received this treatment in the 25 years since Rob Cohen directed it on the streets of Los Angeles. A limited-edition Steelbook version will also be available. Separately, Universal is sending the original film back into theaters for a week starting August 21, giving audiences the chance to see the movie that launched a franchise worth more than $7 billion at the worldwide box office.

The original Fast and the Furious is a film that looks almost nothing like what the series became. What began as a story about street racers in Los Angeles became one of the most globally successful action franchises in Hollywood history, stretching to 11 films and counting. Vin Diesel was 33 when it opened; he will be 60 by the time the series concludes with Fast Forever in March 2028. The distance between then and now is visible in the new retrospective footage, which Universal describes as a candid conversation reflecting on the origins and enduring legacy of a film that no one including its cast fully expected to last.

Meadow Walker's presence in the retrospective is poignant. Now 27, she has spent the years since her father's passing serving as the family's living link to the franchise, attending premieres, supporting his foundation, and showing up whenever the cast gathers. Seeing her in Cannes, seated alongside the people who knew Paul Walker on set, is the sort of thing that sets this Blu-ray bonus feature apart.

The 4K remaster and theatrical re-release are available for pre-order now.

In 1978, Didi Conn played the legendary role of Frenchy in Grease. However, years earlier, when she was first starting in the industry, bumping into Henry Winkler helped land her a role on Happy Days. The 74-year-old recently spoke about the chance encounter during an interview with PEOPLE to promote her Laura Geller Beauty campaign.

"Well, this is such a crazy thing," Conn explained. "I was doing a lot of commercials when I first started in New York, and a lot of times you're thrown into a room and somebody's got to be your husband, or you're on your honeymoon with some guy, [something] like that. And I'm coming down an elevator after an audition, and I look at this guy, I say, 'Hey, how are you?' And he looks at me, he says, 'Oh, I'm good. How are you?' And it was about 16 floors. By the time we got to the bottom, he says, 'You want to have some coffee?' I said, 'Sure.'"

She still thought that she recognized Winkler from a previous job when they sat down together for their coffee. "We sit down, and I say, 'So what [have] you been up to?'” she explained. “And he says, 'Well, Happy Days.' And I knew it. I had seen him on Happy Days — it was Henry Winkler. I didn't know.”

She went on to tell him that she was moving to California in a few months and got his number. Soon after, she received an audition for Happy Days.

"When I went to Paramount, and I was shown to the office where the audition was, guess who was there and he read with me?" she said. "I didn't find out right away that I got the part, but when I walked away, and I'm on the Paramount lot, this Brooklyn girl looking around, I called up my agent, and they had heard that I got it. I was so happy, and I thanked Henry, and we stayed very good friends.”

Conn is currently promoting the Full Root-ine Hair & Brow Concealing Cream + Powder, which launched as an Amazon Prime Day exclusive on June 22.

When planning a getaway to the Caribbean, travelers looking for an elevated, kid-free environment have historically had to check into rigid, adults-only properties. But a major new opening on the legendary Platinum Coast of Barbados is completely changing that binary, introducing a highly intentional middle ground for sophisticated vacationers.

The newly opened Royalton Vessence Barbados—marking the global debut of Royalton’s brand-new luxury sub-brand and a striking new addition to Marriott's Autograph Collection—is pioneering a fresh category in all-inclusive hospitality: "adult-oriented" travel. Rather than enforcing strict, arbitrary age bans that separate families traveling across generations, the 220-suite beachfront property focuses entirely on creating a calm, design-forward environment tailored to grown-up interests, mindfulness and a slower, deeply restorative pace of travel.

"For years, travelers have had two choices: family resorts or adults-only resorts. We believe there is room for a different kind of experience altogether," explains Alejandro Rodriguez del Peon, Vice President of Marketing & PR at Royalton Hotels & Resorts. "Royalton Vessence was designed for travelers seeking something more intentional, more refined and more connected to the destination. Every aspect of the resort, from the culinary program and premium beverage offerings to the cultural workshops, mindful experiences and elevated service style, was created with adult travelers in mind. At the same time, we did not want to exclude people simply because they travel differently. Today's travelers often vacation across generations. A couple may travel with an older teenager. Friends may travel together with family members. We wanted the flexibility to welcome those guests without compromising the atmosphere that defines the resort. That is why we chose to be adult-oriented rather than adults-only."

Artful Accommodations and Local Touches

Royalton Vessence Barbados

The structural design of the resort acts as a physical immersion into Barbadian culture, utilizing organic, neutral tones, natural textures and locally sourced materials that mirror the island's pristine coastline. The name Vessence itself comes from the fusion of Veritas and Essentia, meaning the true essence of a destination. The 220 modern guest suites are intentionally styled to be tranquil havens, all coming equipped with private balconies or terraces, signature rain showers, in-suite aromatherapy and custom Royalton DreamBeds wrapped in high-thread-count linens. "From subtle design details inspired by the sea and the ships that helped shape Barbados' identity to immersive augmented reality art installations that bring local stories to life, the resort is filled with layers of cultural discovery," explains Rodriguez del Peon.

To anchor you immediately into the spirit of the island, Royalton Vessence features an exclusive partnership with Mount Gay—the world's oldest rum distillery. The connection begins the second you step into your room, where you are greeted with a specially curated welcome toast showcasing the legendary local liquor. "Through our collaboration with Mount Gay, the world's oldest rum distillery, guests can participate in curated tastings, discover exclusive blends, and gain a deeper appreciation for a craft that has been part of Barbados' identity for centuries," notes Rodriguez del Peon.

The resort's location on Barbados' renowned Platinum Coast is another major advantage. "Guests are within walking distance of charming local shops, waterfront restaurants, and authentic island experiences, while still having everything they need at their fingertips," shares Rodriguez del Peon. For those seeking a more hands-on connection, The Studio offers creative workshops and cultural experiences inspired by local traditions and often led by Barbadian artists and makers. "We wanted guests to leave with more than photographs and memories. We wanted them to leave feeling that they had genuinely connected with the spirit, creativity and culture of Barbados."

Seventeen Distinct Culinary Hotspots

Royalton Vessence Barbados

Food lovers are entirely spoiled for choice across the property's 17 distinct food and beverage outlets. On the ground level, five specialty à la carte restaurants headline the dining scene. Guests can explore modern Asian-fusion creations at Kai, enjoy the open-air Italian trattoria La Scala, or opt for the rustic, premium cuts of Hunter Steakhouse.

The standout lunch or dinner experience on the sand is fine French elegance with a tropical twist at Moi Aussi. "Rather than simply recreating international favorites, our chefs incorporate local ingredients and Barbadian influences throughout the menus," says Rodriguez del Peon. "At Moi Aussi, for example, guests can enjoy a classic French tarte tatin reimagined with local pineapple, creating a dish that feels both familiar and distinctly Barbadian."

The culinary center of gravity shifts skyward at The Rooftop, an exclusive oasis available for Diamond Club guests that features a jaw-dropping infinity pool and four distinct, open-air food stations designed around panoramic Caribbean views. "If I had to recommend one dining experience, it would be The Rooftop," says Rodriguez del Peon. "It brings together several culinary concepts in one setting, allowing guests to sample different flavors while enjoying panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea and one of the island's most beautiful sunsets. What makes it special is the atmosphere as guests can move between fresh seafood, Mexican favorites, Indian specialties and handcrafted desserts at their own pace, then unwind by the infinity pool overlooking both the resort and the beach below. It's the kind of setting where great food, ocean views and a relaxed ambiance naturally become one of the highlights of the stay."

Illuminated Pools and Creative Spaces

Royalton Vessence Barbados

Slowing down into a true island rhythm is effortless thanks to a collection of spaces built around the concept of slow travel. The property features two main swimming pools—including a secluded rooftop pool and the lively swim-up bar down below—and introduces a dedicated "late-night swim" experience where illuminated pools stay open long after dark for starlit floats.

Just a short stroll away sits The Studio, an open-air creative sanctuary that serves as a hub for artistic inspiration. "The Studio was inspired by one of the core ideas behind Royalton Vessence, which is that travel should be more than simply visiting a destination and should create opportunities to engage with its culture, creativity and character in a more personal way," Rodriguez del Peon notes. "Barbados has an incredibly rich creative heritage, and we wanted to create a space where guests could interact with that culture firsthand rather than simply observe it. Today, this space hosts painting, pottery, live music and other creative experiences, many of which are led by local talent. It's a space designed to encourage curiosity, creativity and genuine connection with the destination while offering a different pace from a traditional resort day."

High-Tech Wellness at The Royal Spa

Royalton Vessence Barbados

For women over 50 and empty-nesters seeking an enriching, rejuvenating escape, the true crown jewel of the resort is The Royal Spa. Guided by a wellness-forward philosophy, the center offers deep-tissue restoration alongside mindful movement classes like yoga and tai chi at the state-of-the-art Moddo Fitness facility.

"Royalton Vessence was designed around the idea that mindfulness has become one of the greatest luxuries in modern travel," says Rodriguez del Peon. "Today's travelers are constantly connected, constantly stimulated and constantly moving. We wanted to create a resort experience that encourages guests to slow down, be present and reconnect with themselves, with others, and with the destination around them. That philosophy is woven throughout the entire stay. Rather than focusing solely on spa treatments or fitness classes, we created intentional moments that invite guests to experience Barbados at a different pace."

To fully maximize a spa afternoon, guests can indulge in an expansive hydrotherapy circuit. "Water has always been at the heart of spa culture, and the calming combination of heat, steam, and buoyancy creates a powerful moment of pause and restoration," adds Rodriguez del Peon. From there, the absolute must-try experience is the resort's groundbreaking Wellnamis Touchless Therapy. "Guests can choose from experiences focused on mindfulness, awareness, stress relief or relaxation, then settle into a specially designed wellness bed that uses acoustic and vibrational therapy to create a deeply calming, immersive experience. It's a unique opportunity to pause, quiet the mind, and recharge in a way that feels both restorative and effortless. Ultimately, Royalton Vessence is not about doing more. It's about feeling more present, more connected and more aware of the moments that make travel truly meaningful."

The popular Hallmark Channel twisty time-bending family drama came to a close Sunday night after four seasons of clothes drenching jumps into the pond sending viewers back the 1800s, the 1920s, and from the 1960s through to the present day. The series finale "Ahead by a Century" tied to together most, if not all, the mysteries between the Landrys and the Augustines and we saw happy futures for our main characters.

Here are some of the key points we learned from the finale and The Way Home series finale ending explained.

Ponderers have been pondering exactly how Casey Goodwin (Vaughn Murrae) was related to the Landrys. The seemingly obviously explanation was that she was Alice's daughter from the future which meant Alice was going to marry a Goodwin, but Alice was dating Noah (Alexander Eling) not Max (Dale Whibley). It's when Jacob jokes with Alice that he wishes he had a family ring to propose to Abby (Holly Deveaux) with and Alice offers him the ring she has, both she and Jacob have that lightbulb moment and realize Casey is Jacob's daughter from the future! We get glimpses of how Casey was there for all of her parents' special moments and everything clicks.

Present-day Fern's (Jill Frappier) mental state can be traced back to 1926 New Year's Eve when the mine explosion happened and she lost her one true love, Cliff (Dan Jeannotte). Fern's (Bianca Melchior) hope was to run away with Cliff and live her happy ending. It turns out she was pregnant with their child and was going to tell him at midnight on New Year's Eve. She and Kat jump into the Pond but are only able to go back one day, which is enough for Fern as she is able to tell Cliff he is going to be a father which gives him joy.

It was looking grim for Elliot, who was hurt in the mine explosion. Kat was able to get him part-way to the Pond, but he lost consciousness. Luckily, both Jacob (Spencer Macpherson) and Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) happened to arrive and Jacob took Elliot back. When Kat jumps, she wasn't able to get back to the present day but stayed in 1926 so she had no idea if he survived or not.

Fortunately, Elliot does recover and Kat does return to present day. The two finally get their moment when Elliot creates a makeshift fairy-tale proposal to which Kat obviously accepts.

Evelyn was the one who edited the film reel - it was something her grandfather (Gabriel Hogan) taught her to do when she was young. In a Kleenex-moment, Alice says goodbye to the friend (Devin Cecchetto), she met in the 1970s who was now dying of a terminal illness in the present day.

Del (Andie MacDowell) couldn't move forward with her relationship with Sam (Rob Stewart) until she made peace with Colton's (Jefferson Brown) death and finally say goodbye. At the beginning of the series, Del was inconsolable, having lost her husband to a car accident and her son to who knows what. During those four seasons, her son returned, but she never got to have closure and say goodbye to the love her life. Fortunately, the Pond granted her a chance to go back and see Colton again. They shared one last dance, talked about all their kids, and Del finally said goodbye to the great love of her life.

Long before artists like Taylor Swift filled their albums with Easter eggs and secret codes for fans, '90s bands like Nirvana featured hidden tracks on their albums, deliberately excluding one final song from the tracklist or packaging as a surprise for fans who listened through the entire CD or vinyl record. A new ranking has named the best hidden track of the '90s, honoring a surprise song that some fans didn't even realize was included on the album.

"Endless, Nameless" Named the Best Hidden Track of the 1990s

It has been more than three decades since Nirvana released Nevermind, the band's groundbreaking 1991 major-label debut. Of the album’s 13 tracks, only 12 were listed on the original packaging for Nevermind. Approximately 10 minutes after the final track, "Something in the Way," a 13th song — "Endless, Nameless" — appears.

In its latest ranking, Paste Magazine named "Endless, Nameless" the greatest hidden track of the 1990s.

"What began as a frustrated, cathartic purge after failed attempts to nail a take of “Lithium” has since become arguably the most famous (or infamous?) hidden track in modern history. The song—more of a jam, really—consists of nearly seven minutes of frontman Kurt Cobain screeching single words and short phrases over every ounce of abrasive, distorted chaos the Seattle trio can muster.

Here’s the thing, though. The mayhem slowly begins to find a shape, each filthy, debauched convulsion somehow becoming as memorable as a sing-along chorus or a classic hook. The band had managed to transform something angry and visceral into something disturbingly beautiful."

The Story Behind "Endless, Nameless"

Recorded during the sessions for Nevermind, "Endless, Nameless" was the result of a spontaneous jam session after the group became frustrated while recording "Lithium." The explosive, unstructured performance stands in direct contrast to the more polished alternative rock sound that dominates Nevermind.

For many listeners, discovering the album’s hidden track became a rite of passage — a reward for fans who let the CD continue playing after assuming the album had ended.

Nevermind Tracklist

1. "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
2. "In Bloom"
3. "Come as You Are"
4. "Breed"
5. "Lithium"
6. "Polly"
7. "Territorial Pissings"
8. "Drain You"
9. "Lounge Act"
10. "Stay Away"
11. "On a Plain"
12. "Something in the Way"
13. "Endless, Nameless" (Hidden track)

Why the Song Still Matters Today

The ranking cements the enduring legacy of one of Nirvana’s most experimental tracks, a song filled with mystique. Created during the unique pre-streaming era of music, "Endless, Nameless" remains one of the most talked-about deep cuts in Nirvana’s catalog, showcasing the band’s range and ability to transform a seemingly chaotic performance into something "uniquely beautiful."

While "Endless, Nameless" may sound like a messy experiment on first listen, it reflects the raw punk spirit that remained central to Nirvana’s identity.

A secret track no more, "Endless, Nameless" earns the title of best hidden track of the 1990s for good reason. In today’s streaming era, hidden tracks have largely disappeared. Yet Nirvana’s edgy, explosive 13th track on Nevermind remains a reminder of what made hidden songs such a memorable part of the CD era.

Linda Thompson reflected on her relationship with Elvis Presley, revisiting one of the earliest moments from their romance that remains with her decades later.

The couple’s time together has remained a point of fascination for fans of the legendary singer. Thompson revealed that their romantic connection was instant and shared a rare personal memory from those early days during a fan event honoring the King of Rock and Roll.

While their romance eventually became one of the most talked-about relationships in music history, she says it’s the smaller, quieter moments she remembers most. She shared one of her most profound memories about Presley during a 2023 fan event during Elvis Week. This is the world’s largest annual gathering of his fans, spanning nine days and culminating in a candlelight vigil honoring his passing on August 16, 1977.

Thompson recalled the more intimate moments she and Presley shared, when it was just the two of them alone. She revealed that kissing Elvis was one of her favorite memories.

“If you take two big fluffy marshmallows, put them together, and the sweetness and the softness that they are, and you just kiss those marshmallows, that’s the closest thing I could come to imagining what it would be like kissing Elvis. Because he did have the softest and sweetest lips,: she revealed.

Thompson added, “He was so wonderfully affectionate that I know how lucky I am and how blessed to have those memories and to be able to close my eyes and imagine those kisses. And he always had good breath; I don’t know how; he always always had good breath.”

According to The Commercial Appeal, Thompson and Presley met for the first time in 1972. The Memphis newspaper spoke to the songwriter and actress about her memoir, A Little Thing Called Life: On Loving Elvis Presley, Bruce Jenner, and Songs in Between, in 2016.

She indicated that her first introduction to the King of Rock and Roll was memorable. "He burst through the side door dressed as Dracula — flared pants, black cape with red lining and sunglasses on," she said. "It was July 6, 1972, and it was sweltering hot in Memphis. So humid and hot. I was kind of taken aback by how he was dressed."

"And kind of sauntered over in this Elvis-esque manner," Thompson continued. "I had no designs on him. I was very cordial as Miss Tennessee, (with the) beauty queen smile fixed on my face."

"I was a little pert: 'To what do we owe this honor? We're kind of dressed as Dracula tonight. Well, why are you dressed like that?' Elvis said, 'Honey, I just stepped from an air-conditioned car to an air-conditioned building.'"

That moment kicked off a relationship that would ultimately last for four and one-half years, until 1976. Thompson admitted, "I did not break up with him because I didn't love him anymore. I'll probably love him till the day I die. In fact, I'm sure I will. There's always a place in my heart for him. But I wanted more for my life. I wanted to be a mother. Live a more normal life," she concluded.

Linda Thompson is scheduled to attend Elvis Week 2026 alongside Jerry Schilling, Kent McCord, Larry Gatlin, Andrew Solt, Sam Thompson, Charles Stone, Linda Stone, Larry Strickland, Jim Murray, Brenda Neilson Murray, Donna Tutt, and The Blackwood Brothers Quartet.

A young orphaned woman journeys to her ancestral home in Spain seeking answers about her deceased parents in this poignant coming-of-age drama about family, fate, falsehoods, memories, misinformation, deceit, shame—and the sea.

In the opening scene, as Marina (Llúcia Garcia) arrives on a boat from Barcelona, on Spain’s opposite side, she tells us—in a narrative voice-over—about the temperament of the ocean and how it can be “calm and peaceful” or “wild and choppy.”

She finds a bit of both of those conditions as she connects with long-estranged aunts, uncles, cousins and grandparents. She’s trying to uncover her roots to find out why, on her father’s death certificate, she’s not listed as a descendant. And that lack of documentation makes her feel rootless and restless, and also prevents her from getting financial assistance at a university.

🎬 SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬

Marina’s quest was sparked by reading her late mother’s journals. But there are still some missing pieces of the story. What made her mother and father die so young? Why did they never come visit her as a child, after she had relocated, across the country with an adopted family? Why do her younger cousins tell her they’ve been warned to stay away from her if she starts bleeding? What about the mysterious attraction to her hunky cousin, Nuno (Mitch Martin)?

Her icy, detached grandmother (Marina Troncoso) is obsessed with dying, and with keeping her swimming pool clean of debris; she lays down a stern warning for her grandchildren to shower before jumping in. But when it comes to family, things sometimes get messy, just like outdoor swimming pools.

What does "Romería" mean?

The Spanish word romeria means a pilgrimage, a sacred journey, and that certainly applies to Marina’s quest as she treks into her past to retrace—and reclaim—her bloodline. The film reminds us that she’s on hallowed ground with several scenes that feature religious iconography, including a worship service in the bay on Ria de Vigo, an estuary in the Spanish oceanside community of Galicia.

Estuaries are where freshwater from mountains and streams meets saltwater in the oceans, creating thriving biosystems. In much the same way, Marina is an outsider from afar, now come to “mix” and meet with her family, itself a teeming ecosystem of history, traditions, relations—and secrets. Her cousins also tell her that for the last few years of his life, her father was “hidden” away by his parents in their home. An uncle discloses tales of drugs, needles and wild bacchanalia partying. “What didn’t they do?” he tells Marina about her mother and father. “Love and drugs aren’t a good thing.”

Director draws on her own life

The film is richly autobiographical for acclaimed director Carla Simón, who lost both her parents when she was just a child, just as Marina did, and under the same circumstances. And Marina carries around a movie camera, filming everything, declaring that she wants to study cinema at college—just like the director really did. At one point, Marina even tells a boating companion who tries to snatch her camera, “I’ll film, you sail!”

The movie’s real discovery is Llúcia Garcia as Marina. This is her first movie, but she’s a natural, perfect in the role of a girl on the cusp of womanhood and discovery, finding out who she is and how she got there. Her smallest gestures—a bashful smile, a suppressed shock—convey the surface ripples on the choppy waters Marina is navigating. It’s no surprise she’s already received a Goya Award, Spain’s equivalent of the Oscars, for Top Newcomer.

In the film’s third act, Marina leaves a local celebration to follow an alley cat down a darkened street, leading her into a surreal extended flashback in which she gets to “see” her parents before she was born, her father as a sailor, her mom a languid party girl. (In an inventive twist, shaded by subtle differences in appearance and composure, Garcia also plays Marina's mom.) Marina finds her mom’s secret journal, one she was never supposed to read, and we discover, along with her, the connective cycle of past and present, shedding new light onto things we’ve seen and heard previously.

And finally, Marina admits, "I really like the sea here."

Don’t be put off by the Spanish subtitles. This sweet, finely nuanced dive down into the murky past is a trip well worth taking as young Marina embraces her roots, gets her answers and sets sail in a new, steadier and more hopeful direction.

The Hollies are an English rock band, originally formed by Allan Clarke and Graham Nash, that exploded in popularity in the 60s and 70s. In 1965, they released a single called “I’m Alive” that became a No. 1 hit in the UK and Ireland. However, it wasn’t originally their song. It was a cover.

Frank Renshaw, from The Toggery Five, revealed that the song was originally recorded by them. "Wayne Fontana gave us this song 'I'm Alive' as he said it wasn't his style,” Renshaw explained. “We liked it a lot, booked time at Abbey Road Studios, and recorded it with Ron Richards as producer. Then the Hollies heard it and stole it from us! It turned out to be their first #1 hit in the UK. I'm sure it would have made a turning point for The Toggery Five because it was such a good song, and I think our version was much better.'"

Alan Doyle added, "The Hollies heard our version and quickly recorded it themselves, then got a release date two weeks before ours, and stopped our version from being released. Our manager thought that, as The Hollies had already had some chart success and wanted the song, they should have it! He, along with Ron Richards, pulled the plug on us. After all the work we had laid down on the song, it was a dirty trick to give it to The Hollies. It was a sore point at the time as they got to #1 with the song."

The Hollies spoke about their song selection process in an interview with Rhino. Bobby Elliot, who was the drummer for the Hollies, explained that early on, their producer chose a lot of songs they would sing.

“We were turning more to Ron Richards, our producer, in the early days,”  Elliot said. “He chose the first two or three, and then we started finding songs. And then the guys, they would write the B-sides, but then they got confident by writing the A-sides, so we took off with 'We’re Through' and 'Carrie Anne' and 'On a Carousel' and 'Stop, Stop, Stop' and quite a few others. We were writing albums full of songs. But we knew if our songs weren’t up to it, there was a better song coming along… Like, for example, ‘He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother’ and ‘The Air That I Breathe,’ which we did later on. That was fine. We knew that was a great vehicle for our harmonies, and there was no problem with that.”

The Hollies are still together and still touring to this day. In 2010, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Some of their other hits included "Stay," "Just One Look", "Here I Go Again", and "Yes I Will." Since they started, they have had 22 different songs on the Billboard Hot 100.

If you've spent any time online the past few months, there's a good chance you've stumbled upon the "Sicilian Summer" aesthetic. Videos bathed in golden light have turned Sicilian Summer into a mood travelers want to step inside. It's not really about Sicily either, more about the kind of travel it's come to represent: sun on old stone, markets spilling into the street, grand hotels with a little patina, seafood lunches near the water, and towns that feel beautiful because they have not been smoothed into sameness. That's the allure of a Sicilian Summer. It feels warm and unhurried, which is exactly what travelers are craving when everyday life feels so fast.

But the more popular the fantasy becomes, the more expensive it gets. Sicily, for example, is plagued with high-season hotel rates, crowded coastal towns, and the lingering White Lotus effect have made the island harder to do thoughtfully and intentionally.

For travelers who want that old-world Mediterranean feeling without the Italy price tag, Greece has a few very good alternatives. Zakynthos, Paros, Lefkada and Thassos all offer their own version of the Sicilian summer mood, with sea-view hotels, village tavernas, local dishes, and days built around swimming, wandering and staying out late.

What Is a “Sicilian Summer?”

A Sicilian summer is not just a trip to Sicily. It is a mood, which is a big part of why the trend is resonating now. Janie Burt, managing director of Solos Holidays, says travelers are burned out by overly exhaustive fast-paced vacations and are craving long, unhurried travel with opportunities to rest. Dionysis Vithoulkas, CEO of The Lesante Collection Luxury Hotels & Resorts, sees the same pull toward places that feel timeless, romantic, and deeply connected to the local life around it.

The best Sicilian-summer alternatives are not trying to copy Sicily, either. These underrated Greek islands boast the same beautiful coastlines, long-lingering meals, centuries old villages, sprawling vineyards and olive groves as the famed Italian island, just without the tour buses to follow. What they offer instead is a version of the Mediterranean that still feels lived-in by real locals, where a beach day can end in a village taverna instead of a reservation you had to fight for months in advance.

Zakynthos

One look at the geography of Zakynthos and you'll think you're in Sicily. The Ionian island has limestone cliffs, blue caves, sprawling olive groves and vineyards, plus small villages boasting enough Venetian influence to feel like a close cousin to southern Italy. But it still feels distinctly Greek, which is exactly why it works as a Sicilian Summer alternative rather than a copy of one.

“Zakynthos is a wonderful example because it offers that same sun-drenched Mediterranean feeling, but with its own distinct Greek identity,” says Dionysis Vithoulkas, CEO of The Lesante Collection Luxury Hotels & Resorts. “The island has dramatic coastline, turquoise water, vineyards, olive groves, small villages, soft Venetian influences, family-run tavernas, and warm hospitality. At Lesante Collection, we see travelers drawn to that balance, the natural beauty of the island paired with a refined hospitality experience that still feels deeply connected to Zakynthos.”

Between beach stops, make time for sartsa, a rich Zakynthian beef dish cooked with tomato, garlic, oregano and ladotyri cheese, a sharp local cheese aged in olive oil that gives the dish a salty, peppery bite. Stay at Lesante Cape Resort & Villas in Akrotiri, just north of Zakynthos Town, where the resort overlooks the Ionian Sea and, on clear days, Kefalonia’s Mount Ainos.

No visit to the island is complete without a boat ride to the Blue Caves near Cape Skinari, a series of sea-carved limestone arches known for the way sunlight turns the water and rock an electric blue. First discovered in 1897, they are still one of the island’s most striking natural sights. End the day at Bostani Farm to Table, where garden-grown ingredients highlight the famous flavors of this hidden gem.

Paros

The Cyclades are the Greece most travelers picture first, with whitewashed villages, blue-domed churches, dry hills, fishing harbors and long dinners that spill into the lanes. Paros has all of that, but with half the crowds and for half the price. Naoussa, on the island’s north coast, is a former fishing village built around a small Venetian harbor, where caiques still bob beside waterfront restaurants and cocktail bars are tucked into narrow lanes. Lefkes, a mountain village that was once Paros’ capital, offers the quieter opposite for those slow-moving summer vibes of a Sicilian Summer, with marble-paved streets, neoclassical houses, shaded cafés, and views across the island.

What makes Paros so special is it gives you the best of the Cyclades in a pace that's actually accessible, with the lively harbor town on one side and the slower inland village on the other. When you're out, make sure to order revithada, Paros’ chickpea stew traditionally baked overnight.

For your stay, book the Andronis Minois above Parasporos Beach, a wide sandy bay on Paros’ west coast known for clear water, sunset light, and a social but still easygoing beach scene. The location keeps you close to Parikia and the port so you can still hit town when hunger or the desire to shop comes up. To soak up the beauty and charm of Lefkes before the day-trippers arrive, spend your morning or late afternoon there, ensuring you book dinner at Mario in Naoussa for fresh seafood, island-grown herbs, local olives and Parian cheeses.

Lefkada

Connected to mainland Greece by a bridge, Lefkada avoids the ferry and flight costs that can drive up a Greek island itinerary, making it especially appealing for travelers who want brilliant blue water, cliff-backed beaches, in a more attainable (and affordable) version of the Mediterranean meets Sicilian Summer fantasy.

“What makes Lefkada more budget friendly is its accessibility,” says Burt. “As one of the only Greek islands connected to the mainland, you bypass the expensive ferry fees or domestic flights that inflate a travel budget. You also get the exact same dramatic, towering white cliffs and electric-blue waters as neighboring Kefalonia or Zakynthos, but for a fraction of the cost.”

This is the island for travelers who want more than just pretty beaches. “Lefkada is best for the adventure seeker who wants dramatic landscapes, world-class windsurfing, and jaw-dropping beaches like Porto Katsiki," Burt says. She also highly recommends trying Englouvi lentils in Eglouvi, the mountain village where the prized local variety is grown. The easiest way for tourists to get there is by rental car from Lefkada Town, a roughly 35- to 45-minute drive into the island’s interior.

Stay at Crystal Waters in Nikiana, a seaside village on Lefkada’s east coast, where the resort sits about 200 meters from the beach at the foot of Skaros Mountain, with greenery on one side and the Ionian Sea on the other. Plan a day at Porto Katsiki, the island’s cliff-backed showpiece, where you descend a long stairway to a white-pebble beach framed by towering limestone and neon-blue water. End at Rachi in Exanthia, a mountain village above the west coast, where the open-air terrace is positioned for one of Lefkada’s best sunset views over the Ionian.

Thassos

Thassos does not have the instant-name recognition of Santorini or Mykonos, and that is why it's so charming. Set in the North Aegean, the island still draws more local Greek vacationers than international crowds, making it a local's paradise over an overcrowded cruise stop.

“Thassos primarily caters to a local Greek market rather than mass international tourism,” says Burt. “Because of this, prices at the local tavernas, beach bars, and boutique hotels haven’t been artificially inflated. It’s an island where you don’t need to pay for pricey excursions as the best things to do are completely free, from hiking ancient ruins to sunbathing on amazing beaches.” She also adds, “Thassos is best for travelers looking for a lush, green, more authentic and slower-paced escape. It appeals to people who want to spend their mornings hiking ancient ruins, their afternoons on quiet beaches, and their evenings eating fresh seafood.”

When you're there, she recommends trying their famous stuffed zucchini flowers wherever you go. For a restful stay that feels Mamma Mia-adjacent, book Vathi Cove Luxury Resort & Spa, a quiet retreat set on Vathi Beach, where pine forest meets turquoise water in one of Thassos’ prettiest coves. For dinner, Burt recommends Simi, a classic seafood taverna in Limenas’ old harbor, where tables sit close to the water and the menu leans into grilled fish, octopus, local meze, and simple Greek cooking. Go as the sun starts to drop, when the light turns warm over the harbor, highlighting the many fishing boats floating in the harbor.

High-end food and beverage programs have quickly become the ultimate battleground for modern premium cruise lines, but a major industry milestone just crowned an undisputed champion of the shipboard cellar. Celebrity Cruises officially shattered its own record today, pulling in a massive haul of 25 total honors at the 2026 Wine Spectator Awards.

The 2026 awards catalog highlights the massive success of the line's latest fleet overhauls and new ship rollouts. Two brand-new dining concepts captured the attention of Wine Spectator judges for the very first time this year. The first is Trattoria Rossa aboard the revitalized Celebrity Solstice, a rustic, Roman and Southern Italian hotspot that just debuted following the ship’s massive dry-dock modernization in March 2026. The second freshman winner is Mosaic aboard the cutting-edge Celebrity Xcel, which just set sail in November 2025 and features an ever-changing, destination-driven menu that shifts to reflect the specific regions the ship is actively visiting.

Also sitting comfortably on the "Best Of" list is Le Voyage, the ultra-exclusive, intimate dining room helmed by world-renowned chef and Celebrity global culinary ambassador Daniel Boulud. The flagship venue is no stranger to making maritime history; earlier this year, Le Voyage became the first-ever restaurant at sea to achieve a flawless Five-Star rating from the Forbes Travel Guide. Seeing it effortlessly secure consecutive Wine Spectator honors across Celebrity Xcel, Celebrity Ascent, and Celebrity Beyond underscores a relentless, fleetwide commitment to culinary perfection.

In 1971, Yes released a song that would forever change the band's career.

Running more than eight minutes, "Roundabout" became the opening track on Fragile and introduced millions of listeners to the band's unique blend of progressive rock, virtuosic musicianship and soaring melodies. More than 50 years later, it remains Yes' signature recording and one of the most recognizable songs in the history of progressive rock.

The song also gave the band its biggest commercial breakthrough.

Released as a single in the United States, "Roundabout" climbed to No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Yes' first major American hit. Although significantly edited for radio, the single introduced audiences to a band that had previously been known primarily among progressive rock fans, helping Fragile become the album that launched Yes into the mainstream.

Written by Jon Anderson and Steve Howe, "Roundabout" was inspired by the many roundabouts the pair encountered while traveling through Scotland on tour.

"We were driving down from Aberdeen to Glasgow, down through the valleys," Anderson said in a 2011 interview. "There were all of these clouds around, and you couldn't see the mountains. They seemed to come right out of the sky as we were going down to the roundabouts. That's where that lyric came from. Within 24 hours we would be back in London, so that was the next line. If you listen to the solo, it sounds very Scottish, too. It was really one of those very fun songs."

Guitarist Steve Howe's choice to play acoustic on the track was a bold one for the otherwise electrified band.

"I thought, 'Wow, this is risky,'" Howe told Jazz Guitar Today. "I could start to feel that my electric playing had a certain style. But never had I stuck my neck out so much as to have [Bill] Bruford, [Chris] Squire, Rick Wakeman, Jon Anderson all playing, and all I'm doing is playing acoustic guitar. It was adventurous, and the risk paid off!"

The success of "Roundabout" marked the beginning of Yes’ rise as one of the biggest progressive rock bands of the 1970s. With the addition of keyboard virtuoso Rick Wakeman, the Fragile lineup became one of the genre's most celebrated, paving the way for landmark albums including "Close to the Edge," "Tales from Topographic Oceans" and "Going for the One."

Over the decades, "Roundabout" has become far more than a progressive rock classic. Its soaring chorus, uplifting musical progression and triumphant finale have made it a fixture of arena concerts, television broadcasts and classic rock radio, where its message of perseverance and forward momentum continues to resonate.

"When we first heard the 'Roundabout' single, it was on the radio," Anderson told Songfacts. "We didn't know it was released. We were busy being a band on the road, and then we heard the edit and we thought, 'Wow, that must have been a big pair of scissors to edit that song.' I mean, it was just totally wrong musically. It actually worked and all of a sudden we became famous, we had a hit record and more people came to see us, which was great, because then they would see the progression of music we'd been doing and they'd see us more as a band and not just wait for 'Roundabout.' Because we didn't do that 'Roundabout' in those days. We did the 8-minute version."

While Yes produced many acclaimed epics throughout its career, "Roundabout" remains the band's defining song. It successfully balanced musical complexity with broad accessibility, proving that even an eight-minute progressive rock composition could connect with a mainstream audience.

More than 50 years after its release, "Roundabout" continues to stand as one of rock’s great power anthems. From its unforgettable opening guitar figure to its exhilarating finale, the song remains a celebration of ambition, musicianship and the limitless possibilities of progressive rock.

After years without a No. 1 hit, a female country star made a stunning return to the top of the charts with an unforgettable duet.

Marie Osmond shot straight to the top of the charts at the age of 13 with the song “Paper Roses,” which was a number-one hit in November 1973. The sweet tune remained on the charts an astonishing 13 weeks, kicking off Osmond's career before duetting with brother Donny Osmond later that decade and having a series of pop music successes.

However, after a string of less successful country singles, Osmond was searching for another breakthrough hit. She found it with the Paul Davis–penned song “Meet Me in Montana,” a duet with Dan Seals of England Dan & John Ford Coley.

The song quickly resonated with country audiences, showcasing a softer, more emotional side of both performers. It went on to become a major hit and helped re-establish Osmond as a serious presence on the country charts.

Per Wide Open Country, "Meet Me in Montana" also "helped restart the career of Dan Seals." Osmond was presented the song by her music producer, Paul Worley, who thought the song would be a great fit for her. Worley spoke to Seals' former producer, Kyle Lehning, who agreed that the two should duet.

The sweet love song would go on to become a huge hit for Osmond and Seals. It peaked on the Billboard Top 100 Country Chart in 1985, almost a dozen years after she previously topped the same chart as a teenager.

Their chart success led to a win at the 1986 CMA's as Vocal Duo of the Year. Osmond and Seals were also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals that same year. They never duetted again.

Her chart resurgence led Osmond to have only one other No. 1 country music song. She partnered with Paul Davis ("Cool Night") on his song called "You're Still New To Me." The song topped the country charts one year after her success with Seals, in November 1986.

Marie Osmond is married to Stephen Craig. They have homes in Nevada and Utah.
