Marcy Walker, who is best known for playing Liza Colby on "All My Children," is dealing with a serious health issue, according to a GoFundMe for the actress.

While the fundraising page didn't go into detail about Walker's condition or what specific medial issue she is dealing with, the page said that help "is urgently needed."

"Today, Marcy needs our help," the page reads. "While she has spent years giving her time, energy, and heart to others—both as an actress and later through her dedicated ministry and community work—she is currently navigating an ongoing health issue where financial support is urgently needed."

The GoFundMe further stated that every single dollar raised is going to Walker and will help her with "essential medical expenses, giving her the peace of mind she deserves." The page has a goal of $15,000, and was nearly at that goal with over $13,000 as of Tuesday, June 23, at 11:00 p.m. With that, they emphasized that the ways to help are through donating, sharing the page, and leaving a message of support and encouragement.

"Thank you for your incredible generosity, your enduring loyalty, and for proving that the bond between Marcy and her fans is just as strong today as it was thirty years ago," the page concluded. "Let’s show Marcy exactly how much she means to us."

This comes after Walker's Santa Barbara co-star, A Martinez, shared news of Walker's illness. Specifically, he revealed in an Instagram video the reason for fans being charged to attend a special livestream event between him and Walker that took place on June 7.

“Some folks have expressed disappointment over the cost,” Martinez said. “Now, out of respect for my partner’s privacy, I did not speak to the reasons for the fee when I first posted.”

“The fact is, Marcy has been ill and is working hard to get well,” he continued. “And in the process, has come face to face with the financial challenges that so often plague those of us unlucky enough to need serious medical care in our country. She is in that need.”

All proceeds from the event went to help Walker with her medical bills.

Special guests joining Turnstile on the road include Clypse, Cold World, Fiddlehead, Haywire, Pennywise, Thundercat, Vince Staples, and Yves Tumor. 

The tour presale opens Thursday, June 25, with general sale starting Friday, June 26 — both at 10 a.m. local time. And, according to Blabbermouth, Turnstile partnered with local nonprofits for the tour. Those organizations will be on the ground at each respective pit stop.

As for Turnstile themselves, the band is still riding the high off their Grammy-winning album, Never Enough. Released June 6, 2025, “the expansive collection is a restless and exhilarating evolution of TURNSTILE's genre-defying sound and is a transformative journey, both fearless and alive, by one of the most forward-thinking and influential bands of their generation,” Blabbermouth writes. 

In addition to the record, Turnstile released a companion film, Turnstile: Never Enough, directed by band members BrendanYates and PatMcCrory.

Formed in 2010, the Baltimore rock band has gained popularity since their debut, Nonstop Feeling, in January 2015. A genre-defying group, they’re classified as hardcore but skew more alternative, with their roots firmly planted in skate, pop-punk, and early NYC hardcore. 

Currently, the Turnstile lineup includes Brendan Yates (lead vocals), Franz Lyons (bass, vocals), Pat McCrory (guitar), Daniel Fang (drums), and Meg Mills (guitar).

Founding guitarist Brady Ebert officially parted ways with the band in August 2022. Ebert was later charged with attempted murder. You can read more about that story here.

When it comes to comfort-first sandal brands, Clarks has built its reputation on easy, supportive styles that prioritize wearability. From wedges you can actually walk in to everyday slip-ons and flip-flops you keep by the door, the brand's shoes pack thoughtful design details into clean, wearable silhouettes. The floral Clarks Merliah2 Kyla Heeled Sandal is no exception, but it brings a more seasonal, style-forward twist.

During the week-long Amazon Prime Day event, this pair is marked down to just $30, 68% off its original $95 price. The structure still delivers the supportive base Clarks shoes are known for, while the floral embellishment adds a bit of personality. It’s an easy entry point for shoppers who already trust the brand for comfort, but want something that feels a little more current, a little more fun, and better suited to summer.

These sandals look a little more special than average flip-flops thanks to the oversized floral accent that sits front and center on the upper. The flower resembles a blooming water lily or lotus, with multiple layers of rounded petals stacked on top of one another to create dimension and movement. Each petal is individually cut out and outlined with contrast stitching, giving the design a handcrafted feel. At the center, a small bead-like accent acts as the flower's "stamen," drawing the eye inward. 

Behind the bloom, perforated panels and layered leather pieces create even more texture, while subtle variations in tone throughout the upper help each petal stand out. The adjustable riptape strap is cleverly integrated into the design, allowing you to customize the fit without disrupting the look of the flower. Underfoot, a cushioned, perforated insole offers breathable comfort and support, paired with a softly rounded toe shape.

The floral motif gives these sandals a feminine, garden-inspired look that pairs especially well with breezy summer clothing. They complement eyelet tops, sundresses, tiered skirts, denim shorts, and linen capris. Because the flower functions almost like jewelry for your feet, they can instantly dress up a simple tank-and-shorts outfit. The textured, anti-slip two-inch wedge adds a touch of height while still being stable, making them an easy choice for outings with friends, dinners, and special occasions.

The sandal comes in five color options, including white, denim, black, metallic gold, and red, making it easy to find a pair that fits seamlessly into your summer wardrobe. Sizing is notably inclusive, ranging from 5 to 12 in half sizes, with narrow, medium, and wide widths available. Availability and pricing can vary depending on the size and color selected, so it’s worth double-checking before adding to your cart.

Shoppers adored these “super cute” and “stylish” sandals, dubbing them as “perfect for all-day wear” yet “polished enough for everyday summer outfits.” One reviewer said that “the soles are beautifully cushioned, providing a supportive, almost bouncy feel with every step,” giving the style “sneaker-level comfort.”

The Black Queen, the rock supergroup, dropped a surprising announcement for fans as they announced an extended Fever Daydream 10th anniversary tour.

Following the huge success of their North American run, which ran from May 7 to June 6, the band, fronted by Greg Puciato of Better Lovers and Killer Be Killed and formerly The Dillinger Escape Plan, will be embarking on a string of shows this fall.

In an Instagram update, the group announced a 22-date tour, kicking things off in September in California before concluding the run in October in Arizona.

The Black Queen founders Puciato and former Nine Inch Nails and Dillinger Escape Plan tour tech Steven Ryan Alexander are hitting the stage along with Danny Lohner on guitar and Chris Pennie on drums.

Official ticket sales are set to begin on June 26 at 10 a.m. local time.

With the second leg now underway, the supergroup expressed their overwhelming gratitude for the huge support from fans.

“For a lot of this band's life, it has existed, for us, mainly as an abstract feeling or place, a dimension in our hearts and imaginations,” the Los Angeles-based band said in a statement cited by Lambgoat, adding, “For only four of the 15 years of its existence. So, when we announced the first tour back, after seven years of not playing, we were excited, but we couldn't predict the reaction. We couldn't even predict how we'd feel ourselves once we got going. We also didn't know at the time that we'd be joined by Danny Lohner and Chris Pennie. Once we got this new chapter up and running, and all the pieces and personnel on and offstage snowballed their way into place, and we saw and heard you again in person, this whole thing became filled with new life, with new ideas, with new musical dynamics and interpretations.”

Moreover, The Black Queen recalled the thrill of creating their debut album, noting that even as they celebrated its 10th anniversary, the record feels as fresh and exciting as it did when they first made it.

“What started as a 'looking back' celebration of an album has suddenly become a real-time celebration of a new chapter of possibilities and memories for us personally and creatively. We want to stay in this moment just a bit longer before we move on to LP3. So, here's our second, and final for this chapter, North American leg. See you soon,” the band said.

More than a decade after Hamilton became one of the most important pieces of theater of the 21st century, Lin-Manuel Miranda is returning to Broadway with a new show.

Producers have announced that Miranda's first original stage musical since the Pulitzer Prize-winning Hamiltonwill be a stage adaptation of Warriors.

Based on director Walter Hill's 1979 cult classic The Warriors and the 1965 novel of the same name by Sol Yurick, Warriors centers on a Coney Island street gang. This gang must make their way across New York City after being falsely accused of assassinating the gang leader who had attempted to unite the city's rival crews.

Miranda will co-write the musical with Eisa Davis, and performances begin at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre in March 2027, ahead of an opening night in April. This musical originated as a 2024 concept album produced by Nas and featuring the likes of Billy Portman, Lauryn Hill, Busta Rhymes and Colman Domingo. Miranda and Davis’s concept album notably gender-flips the original story, focusing the action on an all-female gang.

"With Warriors, we take a fateful journey through New York City full of heart and grit as our characters fight to survive," Miranda and Davis said in a joint statement per People. "Musicalizing such a vibrant world for the concept album has been a thrill, and now we're coming out to play on Broadway at the Lunt-Fontanne. We can't wait."

Miranda's Hamilton was a groundbreaking work of art which totally transformed the landscape of modern musicals. It won 11 Tony awards, a Grammy Award and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. While he has not made another original musical, he has expanded into film, lending his songwriting skills to Moana, Encanto and Vivo. He also directed tick, tick... BOOM! with Andrew Garfield and will helm the upcoming Octet with Rachel Zegler.

Casting for the Broadway production of Warriors has not been announced, but there is plenty more news to come about the adaptation.

If you have a dream vacation to Europe on the books for this week, the packing list isn't the only thing you’ll need to alter. Western Europe is currently locked in the grip of a staggering, historic heat dome that has forced local governments into absolute crisis mode. According to official meteorological data from Météo-France, daytime highs are soaring past a grueling 44 degrees Celsius (roughly 104 degrees Fahrenheit), sparking a maximum "red alert" designation across more than half of the country. In direct response to the escalating public health emergency, theme park operations are shifting dramatically. Disneyland Paris has officially suspended operations for all outdoor attractions across both Disneyland Park and Disney Adventure World until the unprecedented weather breaks.

Related: The Secret Strategy Behind Paris’ New Disney Adventure World

The decision to pause outdoor rides was first spotlighted on social media by the insider account @ED92Magic, which confirmed that all exterior tracks and open-air queues would close until further notice due to the dangerous conditions.

According to a rolling report by the theme park blog Inside the Magic, visitors on the ground should expect any experience with meaningful outdoor exposure—including fan favorites like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril, Dumbo the Flying Elephant and Toy Soldiers Parachute Drop—to remain offline during the peak heat of the day.

Redditors visiting yesterday were detailing significant closures and suggested looking to the official Disneyland Paris app for real-time updates. Theme park reporters from SortirAParis note that while about 80% of the resort's attraction spaces feature covered or indoor queues, any fully exterior tracks—such as roller coaster layouts or uncovered spinning rides—will remain closed during peak afternoon temperatures. Furthermore, local authorities have mandated that the park's nightly Cascade of Lights show proceed without its signature fireworks to eliminate regional fire risks.

To put the severity of this weather event into perspective, French officials are openly comparing the current atmospheric setup to the devastating heat wave of August 2003, which resulted in an estimated 15,000 casualties and prompted the creation of the nation's modern emergency alert system.

Because historic cities like Paris lack the widespread, heavy-duty residential air conditioning infrastructure commonly found in domestic parks like Walt Disney World in Orlando, public safety measures are being enforced aggressively. According to Inside the Magic, more than 1,350 schools have been ordered shut, public transit networks are playing constant hydration advisories, and iconic cultural institutions like the Louvre and the Eiffel Tower are drastically shortening public viewing hours to protect staff and guests.

For travelers currently at the resort, salvaging the magic requires dropping the fast-paced itinerary and pivoting entirely toward climate-controlled spaces. Fortunately, both parks host an array of high-quality indoor theater shows, enclosed walk-through environments, and air-conditioned dark rides that remain fully operational.

If you're still planning a visit tomorrow, fluid intake and strict shade management are absolutely non-negotiable. Families should treat outdoor paths merely as brief transit zones between air-conditioned buildings. If your travel dates have any flexibility, delaying a park visit until Météo-France projects a late-week cooling trend is a smart strategy to ensure you actually get the full, unrestricted Disney experience you paid for.

Cream’s 1968 chart-climbing masterpiece, “White Room,” is a song that drifts through surreal imagery to explore profound isolation. So, when director Todd Phillips needle-dropped the track into the climax of his 2019 film, Joker, it doesn’t just fit the moment — it reframes the entire descent.

What might otherwise read as a straightforward eruption of chaos becomes, under Cream’s haze, something more like a dissociative fever dream, where the line between reality and delusion is nonexistent.

Without giving anything away, the “White Room” scene comes at the end of the film when Arthur, played byJoaquin Phoenix, now fully transformed into his unhinged persona, is riding in the backseat of a police cruiser. Seeing the violent, apocalyptic-like chaos unfolding in the streets of Gotham, he smiles and embraces the disorder.

In other words: The Joker is born.

Used as a twisted victory anthem, Cream’s “White Room” plays over the scene with its lyrics mirroring Arthur’s psychological state.

According toAmerican Songwriter, bassist Jack Bruce composed “White Room,” which was adapted from lyricist Pete Brown’s eight-page poem of the same name. Brown wrote the piece while he was living in a stark white apartment in London, where he detoxed alone from drugs and alcohol. 

“There was this kind of transitional period where I lived in this actual white room and was trying to come to terms with various things that were going on,” Brown told Songfacts. “It’s a place where I stopped, I gave up all drugs and alcohol at that time in 1967 as a result of being in the white room, so it was a kind of watershed period.

"That song’s like a kind of weird little movie: It changes perspectives all the time. That’s why it’s probably lasted -- it’s got a kind of mystery to it.”

Bruce then turned Brown’s thoughtful stanzas into powerful verses, sharing that he was inspired by the driving riffs of one of the greatest guitarists of all time.

“The inspiration for the music came from meeting Jimi Hendrix and his approach to playing,” Bruce once said, according to Forbes. “In fact, he came to the recording session in New York and said to me, ‘I wish I could write something like that.’ I said, ‘But it comes from you!’”

Released in the summer of 1968 as part of their double album, Wheels of Fire, “White Room” was issued as a single later that year in September. The song reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, proving to be their second-best performer after “Sunshine of Your Love,” which hit No. 5.

“Music for everyone is the soundtrack of their life; everybody has a different soundtrack,” Phillips said in an interview. “So while Arthur might be left-footed with the world, he has this music inside of him.” 

The track’s inclusion in Phillips’ film is a fitting lens for both Arthur and Cream, rock's first supergoup (bassist Jack Bruce, guitarist Eric Clapton, drummer Ginger Baker), whose brief but seismic impact turned them into something almost mythic, much like the psychotic break happening within the Joker.

Even more than four decades after their golden age, Bee Gees are still "Stayin Alive" on the current music charts.

Made up of brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb, the Bee Gee's helped define the sound of the late '70s disco era, and their impact on the music industry still endures today.

In fact, even almost 50 years after releasing one of their biggest hits, like "Stayin' Alive," "How Deep Is Your Love," "You Should Be Dancing" and more, the Bee Gees returned to the Billboard charts this week with their 2004 compilation album, Number Ones.

According to new chart standings dated the week of June 27, the Bee Gees' Number Ones album has re-entered the Billboard 200, bringing its career total to 72 weeks spent on the chart. The album landed at No. 194 for the current week, though it previously peaked at the No. 5 position back in 2012, shortly after the death of founding member Robin Gibb.

The Bee Gees' Number Ones album hosts some of the group's biggest chart toppers, including their nine No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100: "How Deep Is Your Love" (3 weeks), "Stayin' Alive" (4 weeks), "Too Much Heaven" (2 weeks), "Tragedy" (2 weeks), "Night Fever" (8 weeks), "You Should Be Dancing" (1 week), "Love You Inside Out" (1 week), "Jive Talkin'" (2 weeks), and "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" (4 weeks).

The 2004 compilation album has the third-highest ranking of any Bee Gees album on the Billboard 200, following behind the group's two No. 1 albums, Spirits Having Flown and Greatest.

Mexico City is not messing around when it comes to disorderly conduct! The World Cup host city has announced a ban on alcohol sales ahead of Mexico's match against Czechia.

Several neighborhoods in North America's largest metropolis will be under a dry law beginning Wednesday, June 24, at 3:00 p.m. local time and lasting until 7:00 a.m. Thursday morning.

Despite already qualifying for the knockout round, Mexico is set to take on the European country on Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. at Mexico City Stadium.

— IMER Noticias (@IMER_Noticias) June 23, 2026 What to Know About Mexico City's Alcohol Ban?

Mexico City's alcohol ban was set in place in order to "keep order and public safety." However, it will not affect the entire city, nor will it impact all FIFA fans.

Fans in Centro, Tabacalera, Colonia Juárez, San Rafael, and Cuauhtémoc will be prohibited from purchasing alcohol from convenience stores, grocery stores, and supermarkets.

However, fans hoping to watch the game from a restaurant, bar, or hotel will be allowed to purchase alcoholic beverages for consumption on the premises when accompanied by food. Event halls, private clubs, movie theaters, and auditoriums are also exempt from the ban.

Those found to be in violation of the ban will face a penalty.

Fifty-five years ago, iconic soft-rocker Carole King released her own stripped-down version of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow." While the R&B girl group The Shirelles originally took the track to the top of the Billboard Hot 100, King’s intimate reimagining breathed new life into the compostion and reignited its emotional resonance with audiences.

Released in 1971 as the ninth track on her Grammy Award-winning landmark sophomore album Tapestry, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" quickly became a fan favorite. King and her songwriting partner Gerry Goffin originally wrote the track back in 1960 for The Shirelles, but King only took it into the studio to record for her own project a decade later.

Once The Shirelles debuted their version on November 21, 1960, it was clear this song was something special. Only a few of weeks after its release, "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" secured major chart success. By January 1961, the track had climbed up the Hot 100 to peak at No. 1.

James Taylor, recording engineer Hank Cicalo, Joni Mitchell, Carole King and record producer Lou Adler gather around the mixing desk for a playback in the control room during the recording of King's album 'Tapestry' in January 1971 in Los Angeles, California.

Jim McCrary/Redferns

Despite the upbeat nature of The Shirelles' arrangement, King took the opposite approach by stripping down the instrumentation to raw, unfiltered acoustics. Produced by Lou Adler, the track utilizes King's signature intimate vocals on top of delicate piano melody to create a deeply personal ballad. King's version allowed the beloved song to be shown in a new light, prompting audiences to further digest its tender lyrical message.

"Will You Love Me Tomorrow" explores the fear of romantic abandonment. The track captures the deep anxiety of being vulnerable with someone only to have them turn their back on you. The poignant repetition of the question, "Will you still love me tomorrow?" resonated deeply with listeners across the nation. Since its release, the song has been covered by hundreds of artists—a testament to its sweeping cross-genre reach.

The song's universal themes unite everyone participating in the human experience and mark a significant breakthrough milestone for American minorities. When recorded by The Shirelles in 1960, the track became the first song by an all-Black girl group to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, breaking historic racial and cultural barriers in a deeply segregated broadcasting landscape in America.

By framing vulnerable, emotional conflicts with unprecedented musical maturity, it gave a powerful voice to young women and Black artists who were previously pushed to the margins of mainstream music. The track's connection across the nation and continued relevance make for an enduring American anthem.

Over five decades after its release, King's version of "Will You Love Me Tomorrow" continues to reach new audiences. On Spotify alone, the song has garnered over 32.9 million streams—proving its lasting ability to connect with modern generations in the digital era.

If you’re on the fence about watching Harlan Coben’s I Will Find You, you’re probably alone. According to Netflix, the eight-episode series has the biggest premiere of the year. 

With a whopping 24 million views worldwide, the four-day total makes the adaptation the number-one-streamed Netflix hit of 2026 (at least so far). That means I Will Find You just pushed His & Hers, which previously held the title with 19.9 million views, out of the top spot. 

The latest series is far from the first Coben adaptation on Netflix. The list of Coben-based drama/mysteries on the streaming service also includes Run Away, Fool Me Once, Safe, Innocent, Missing You, Stay Close, The Stranger, Caught, Just One Look, Hold Tight, Gone for Good, and The Woods.

Starring Sam Worthington, Milo Ventimiglia, Britt Lower, Chi McBride, Logan Browning, Erin Richards, and Jonathan Tucker, I Will Find You is the story of a man (played by Worthington) who is wrongly imprisoned for the murder of his son. After discovering his son might still be alive, he breaks out of prison and attempts to find and rescue the boy.

As it turns out, the subject of this series is close to the cast’s hearts. Lower (who you might recognize from Apple TV’s Severance), who plays Worthington’s character’s sister-in-law, recently told Decider, “All of us in this series have young kids, actually.” She continued, “Erin Richards, Milo Ventimiglia, Sam, and myself, we kind of bonded over it. When you have young people in your lives, you would just do anything for them.” 

Lower, who has two stepchildren with her husband Kenna Kennor also added, “At the core of this story is, ‘What you will do for your family and especially for a young person.’ “

Even though it just took the top spot as the most-watched Netflix premiere of 2026, the reviews are mixed. Variety called it “A dizzying, captivating experience” while The Hollywood Reportersemi-panned the series: “The brand and stars are sure to attract eyeballs, but I Will Find You is a show that ultimately is designed to be half-watched while keeping track of the World Cup, busy news headlines and other external stimuli.” 

Viewers are also divided, with some raving about the series and some bashing it. One fan posted on the Netflix subreddit, “I have watched the whole thing. I thoroughly enjoyed it, I cannot even lie. It is not predictable like others claim. Get to the end, and you will find out why.” But, of course, not everyone had good things to say: “Ridiculous story…horrible show…but still watched all of it in a day” and, “Terrible show but I couldn’t stop hate watching it. The story was all over the place. The end gave me the ick.”

So, what’s the verdict? Based on the number of Netflix subscribers who tuned in and the balance of good vs. bad reviews, this Harlan Coben mystery is definitely worth a view. 

Hacks star Robby Hoffman admitted she walked out of the 2025 Creative Arts Emmys after losing in her category to a co-star.

The comedian spoke to drag queen and TV personality Trixie Mattel on the Bald and the Beautifulpodcast about her upsetting loss.

“I was there with my sister, and I was the biggest sore loser,” Hoffman shared.

She was nominated for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series. Hoffman plays Randi on the comedy-drama show.

“I lose immediately,” Hoffman continued. “We’re the first award up. I immediately lost, and we woke up with all the gusto in the world.”

Her Hacks co-star Julianne Nicholson won the award for her portrayal of Mary “Dance Mom” Alice. Hoffman said she thought she’d receive the award even though she was competing with “insane” talent like Olivia Colman and Zoë Kravitz.

“We’re beyond surprised to lose,” Hoffman recalled. “I walk in, I’m already like, ‘Where am I going to put the Emmy?’ We lose immediately, my sister goes, ‘We don’t need this s–t,’ and pushes me out. She grabs me by the arm. ‘We’re leaving this s–t.'”

The 36-year-old actor explained that although she stormed out of the Emmys, she had to return because of a contractual agreement.

“I had to present cinematography. I said, ‘Nah, I don’t want to do that anymore.’ They said, ‘No, it’s part of the program!'” she revealed.

Hoffman tried to get out of her obligation to present the award.

“I was like, well, my circumstances changed. My circumstances have changed! I’m not in the mood, and they want me to read whatever’s on this teleprompter. I go, one thing I know, I’m not saying whatever the f–k they have me saying.”

Although disappointed in the night, Hoffman shared that Nicholson was “beyond” deserving of the award for her “amazing” performance.

With summer in full swing, it's the perfect time to pick up those small finishing touches that can make your outdoor space feel more inviting. Decorative solar lanterns are an easy way to add warmth, charm, and personality without taking on a major project. They're also one of the best items to shop during sale events like Amazon Prime Day, since outdoor decor often sees some of the biggest markdowns.

One standout option is the Atznwx Sun Solar Lantern. During Amazon Prime Day — which is running from June 23 through June 26 — it's marked down 50%, bringing the price from $30 to just $15. For a decorative piece that instantly upgrades the look of a patio, porch, or garden, that's an impressive value.

The lantern measures 24.5 inches tall and 7.9 inches wide, making it large enough to stand out without overwhelming your space. It features a beautiful crackle-glass globe paired with a hollow metal frame that gives it a decorative, handcrafted look both during the day and at night.

Powered by solar energy, the lantern automatically charges throughout the day and turns on at dusk. The high-conversion solar panel collects sunlight efficiently, requiring about 6 to 8 hours of charging to provide approximately 7 to 8 hours of illumination. The result is a soft, warm glow that creates a cozy atmosphere after sunset.

Durability is another major selling point. Crafted from sturdy metal and crackle glass, the lantern is designed to handle outdoor conditions year-round. Its weather-resistant construction helps it withstand rain, heat, frost, and other seasonal conditions while maintaining its appearance and performance.

Setup couldn't be easier. There are no wires, outlets, or complicated installation steps involved. Simply switch it on and place it where you'd like it displayed. You can hang it from a hook, branch, fence, or other outdoor structure — just make sure there’s adequate light hitting the solar panel. One AAA battery is included for added convenience.

Its versatile design makes it easy to incorporate into a wide range of outdoor spaces. Use it to line a garden path, brighten a gazebo, decorate a porch, accent a fence, or add a welcoming glow to a patio seating area. It's also a thoughtful gift for anyone who enjoys gardening or outdoor decorating.

One shopper described the lantern as “enchanting,” writing, “This lantern is durable, reliable, and beautiful. I have used it every day for two months now through sun, wind, heavy rain, and temperatures from 36 to 89 degrees Fahrenheit — it has worked without change to quality.”

Another wrote that it’s “nice for pathways, patios, or hanging from branches for a cozy look.” They added, “This solar lantern is really pretty at night, giving off a soft, warm glow that instantly makes the yard or patio feel more inviting. These are charming decorative lights that add a gentle, welcoming glow to outdoor spaces.”

Anne Hathaway confidently revealed her baby bump on social media last week after revealing her third pregnancy.

She hasn't always been so confident in her body after motherhood. When she arrived on the set of 2018's Ocean's 8, the Oscar-winning actress admitted she wasn't confident with how her body had changed in pregnancy.

While visiting The Ellen DeGeneres Showto promote the film back in the summer of 2018, Anne opened up about her on-set experience and her supportive co-stars.

“One of the lucky things about being in this business for so long is that I’ve really kind of come to terms with the pressure that you get to look a certain way as an actress, and I don’t beat myself up about any of that stuff anymore," she said, per Nylon. "But after I had my son, the weight was really slow to come off and so I was a different size than I normally am.”

When arriving on set, the actress admitted feeling nervous about her body, despite director Gary Ross saying: "That's great, we have eight women in this movie. We need to have as many body types up there as we can."

Luckily, her co-stars Cate Blanchett and Sandra were on hand to give the Les Miserables actress a boost of confidence. “I walked on the set, and, you know, my weight’s a little up and I’m just aware of it. And I walk on the set and I’m in my jeans, and I’ve done my best and I’m going to love myself no matter what,” she told Ellen. “And Sandy Bullock looks up and goes, ‘Looking good, mama!’ [And] Cate Blanchett’s like, ‘Nice jeans, Hathaway!' It made me feel amazing."

Rihanna also took her time to praise The Devil Wears Prada star. "And then Rihanna looks up and goes, 'Damn girl, you got an ass!' And I of course freaked out and loved it so much. I was like, ‘Really?!’ And she goes, 'You got an ass like me!'"

Hathaway has two children with her husband, Adam Shulman, and is currently expecting her third. The couple wed in 2012 and welcomed their first son, Jonathan Rosebanks Schulman, in March of 2016. She gave birth to her second son, Jack Shulman, in November 2019.

It goes without saying that there were plenty of teenagers in the '60s who worshipped the Beatles and dreamed of having their own music careers...but most of those kids didn't end up actually writing hit songs. Of course, there are exceptions to every rule, and "For Your Love" by the Yardbirds is proof.

Released as a single in March 1965, "For Your Love" was the Yardbirds' first Top 10 hit in the U.S., the U.K. and Canada, thanks in large part to songwriter Graham Gouldman, who later became the bass player for 10cc.

According to George Tremlett's book, The 10cc Story, Gouldman was just 18 years old when he wrote "For Your Love." At the time, he was spending his days working at a men's clothing store and his nights playing with a band called the Mockingbirds.

As Gouldman told BBC Radio Wales, it was the music of the Fab Four that inspired him to start writing songs in the first place.

"The Beatles had started and I thought 'well, I’m gonna really have a crack at songwriting,'" Gouldman recalled.

"I had dabbled a bit, but they were really my inspiration and gave me and I think a lot of other people the courage to actually do it. We all wanted to be like the Beatles," he continued. "I wrote two songs and the record company we were with turned down one of the songs. The song they turned down was 'For Your Love', which eventually found its way to the Yardbirds."

The Yardbirds knew "For Your Love" had potential right away, as drummer Jim McCarty told Songfacts.

"To try and get a hit song in those days was quite a difficult thing to do for us," he explained. "We could come up with ideas, but our first hit song was very important for us. And with 'For Your Love' we heard it and had the demo of it and it sounded like a hit song to all of us."

"It was the sort of thing that you relied on to get into that other echelon, to have a hit song," McCarty continued. "All our contemporaries were having hit songs: The Beatles and the Stones and the Moody Blues and Animals, they were all having #1 hits and we were really trying to keep up."

Gouldman's style turned out to be the perfect fit for the Yardbirds, who also had hits with two more of his songs ("Heart Full of Soul" and "Evil Hearted You").

"They were always very original," McCarty said of Gouldman's tunes. "Very interesting songs, very moody, because they were usually in a minor key, the ones we did, anyway. 'For Your Love' was an interesting song, it had an interesting chord sequence, very moody, very powerful. And the fact that it stopped in the middle and went into a different time signature, we liked that, that was interesting. Quite different, really, from all the bluesy stuff that we'd been playing up till then. But somehow we liked it. It was original and different."

One person who famously didn't like the "original and different" direction the Yardbirds were taking was guitar player Eric Clapton, who soon left the group over concerns their music was becoming too commercial. He was replaced by Jeff Beck, who was eventually replaced by Jimmy Page.

Few moviegoers turned out for Glen Powell's latest thriller, which hit theaters earlier this year. Four months later, though, the film is relishing an unlikely second act, soaring to the top of HBO Max's streaming charts and becoming the platform's most-watched movie in the United States.

Despite the Top Gun: Maverick actor's growing A-list star power, the film struggled to gain traction in theaters and quickly disappeared from the box-office conversation. Streaming, however, has given it a second chance, according to FlixPatrol.

Following its streaming debut on June 19, the film's rise may be driven by word-of-mouth surrounding Powell's performance, as well as its “eat-the-rich” storyline, which might just cater better to viewers at home who can enjoy the film's digs without the pressure of paying full theater prices or side-eye looks from strangers.

There's also the fact that HBO Max subscribers have embraced the intoxicating fusion of dark comedy, family intrigue, and murder -- a hit formula proven with HBO Max originals including The White Lotus and DTF St. Louis.

Starring Powell as a novice serial killer, How to Make a Killing follows the story of Becket Redfellow. A blue-collar heir disowned at birth by his affluent family, he spends the reel shredding a loophole in his family’s trust, eliminating every relative standing between him and the $28 billion inheritance he feels he deserves.

Co-written and directed by John Patton Ford (Emily the Criminal), the film takes inspiration from the 1949 British classic film Kind Hearts and Coronets, which itself was adapted from the 1907 novel Israel Rank: The Autobiography of a Criminal by Roy Horniman.

The star-studded supporting cast includes Margaret Qualley, Jessica Henwick, Adrian Lukis, Topher Grace, and Ed Harris.

Elsewhere on HBO Max’sstreaming charts are the Kirill Sokolov’s horror comedy They Will Kill You at No. 2, Steven Spielberg's gamer flick Ready Player One at No. 3, Steven Soderbergh’s disease thriller Contagion at No. 4, and David Cronenberg’s simmering mystery A History of Violence rounding out the Top 5.  

Whatever held audiences back in theaters appears to be far less of an obstacle on streaming. Months after its disappointing theatrical run, the Glen Powell thriller is finally finding the audience it missed the first time around.

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers created one of rock music’s most enduring anthems with “Refugee,” but the road to recording the song was far from smooth. 

The 1979 classic, featured on the band's breakthrough album, pushed the group to its limits in the studio and nearly caused internal fractures before becoming a major radio hit.

Today, “Refugee” remains one of the defining songs in the Tom Petty catalog. The track peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the most-played rock radio songs of its era, helping establish Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers as a household name in American rock music.

The song’s success came despite a recording process that tested the patience of everyone involved.

Mike Campbell, the band’s lead guitarist and co-writer of the song, originally developed the music at home using a four-track recorder. Inspired by guitarist Mick Taylor’s playing and experimenting with a new Gibson guitar, Campbell created the foundation that would eventually become “Refugee.”

“All I remember is giving him a cassette, telling him: ‘Here’s some demos’,” Campbell recalled, per Louder Sound. “I didn’t think much about it. Then the next rehearsal we had he said: ‘I worked on your tape and I got some words to this song.’ I said: ‘Oh, really?’ He played it to me, and I was just blown away.”

Tom Petty quickly connected with the music. According to the singer, the lyrics came together in about 10 minutes after hearing Campbell’s demo.

“I remember writing ['Refugee'] really quickly to his tape,” Petty said. “The words came really quick.”

While writing the song came naturally, recording it proved to be a different story.

The band enlisted producer Jimmy Iovine, who was building a reputation through his work with Bruce Springsteen and Patti Smith. Iovine believed “Refugee” had enormous potential, but achieving the right sound became an exhausting process.

“We just had a hard time getting the feel right. We must have recorded that 100 times,” Campbell said in a later interview, according to Far Out Magazine.

Studio tensions grew as the sessions dragged on. The biggest challenge centered on capturing the right drum performance. The repeated attempts led to frequent disagreements between drummer Stan Lynch and Iovine.

At one point during the sessions, Lynch was temporarily dismissed as frustrations boiled over.

“We were so hard on Stanley,” Campbell later admitted. “He worked really hard to get this drum sound.”

The pressure affected the entire group. Campbell became so frustrated that he walked away from the sessions altogether.

“I remember being so frustrated with it one day that, I think this is the only time I ever did this, I just left the studio and went out of town for two days,” Campbell said. “I just couldn't take the pressure anymore.”

Despite the setbacks, the band refused to abandon the song.

“We all blamed each other,” Campbell recalled. “But we never doubted the song. So we just kept at it until, finally, one day we played it and said: ‘Oh, that’s it.’”

By some accounts, more than 100 takes were recorded before the group finally captured the version that appeared on the album.

The track also helped elevate Mike Campbell’s role as a songwriter within the band. Tom Petty later pointed to “Refugee” and “Here Comes My Girl” as moments when Campbell’s songwriting talent fully emerged.

More than four decades later, “Refugee” remains a staple of classic rock radio and is widely regarded as one of the greatest songs in Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ catalog. Billboard ranked it among Petty’s greatest songs, while Rolling Stone later placed it near the top of its list of the singer’s best recordings.
