Robert Irwin Reveals Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis Named the Newest Addition at Australia Zoo

Thu, 05/07/2026 - 9:03pm

Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis came up with the perfect name for the newest addition at the Australia Zoo, Robert Irwin revealed.

Irwin, 22, shared a video via Instagram on May 7, sitting among the kangaroos and showing off the young joey who appeared happy in her mother’s pouch. He thanked Prince William and Kate Middleton's kids, George, 12, Charlotte, 11, and Louis, 8, for naming the eastern grey kangaroo Cwtch (pronounced Kutch), which is Welsh for “cuddle.”

"G'Day! It's Robert Irwin here with a couple of my mates. This is, of course, the icon of Australia, the kangaroo, and I'm very proud to announce that my friends, the Wales family, helped us to name our beautiful new joey," Irwin said in the video.

The Dancing With the Stars winner called Cwtch “the absolute perfect name” because joeys “love a cuddle” and spend most of their time in their mother’s pouch. Of course, choosing a name in Welsh is a nod to their parents' titles of the Prince and Princess of Wales.

"I want to say a particular thank-you to Prince George, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte for your help in finding this one a brilliant name," Irwin said. “It is so important that we conserve all of our animals, including the icons, the kangaroos. These guys play a very important role in the Australian bush and out there in the ecosystem, they are just crucial.”

He added, "Cwtch is already stealing hearts, and I hope she inspires people to fall in love with wildlife and want to help protect it.”

Robert helps run Queensland's Australia Zoo with his mother, Terri Irwin, and sister, Bindi Irwin. The family works around the world as conservationalists, honoring the past work of the late Steve Irwin.

Robert’s connection with the royal family is rooted in wildlife preservation. He is an ambassador for Prince William's Earthshot Prize, a prestigious 10-year environmental initiative awarding £1 million each to five winners annually for impactful, scalable solutions to repair the planet by 2030.

Robert called William, 43, a "kindred spirit," acknowledging that the future king's activism inspires his children. 

"I think Prince William is certainly creating an amazing legacy for his kids and for an entire generation to take inspiration from, Robert told People in June 2025. “I have no doubt that they'll carry up that mission.”

Prince William’s efforts are likely inherited from his father, King Charles III. The monarch has dedicated his adult life to conservation, becoming aware of ecological threats back in the 1970s. He patronages champion sustainability, focusing on climate change, biodiversity, and regenerative agriculture.

During Charles’ state visit to the US in April, he visited Virginia's Shenandoah National Park, where they made him an honorary junior ranger. 

Kirsten Talken-Spaulding, deputy regional director for the National Park Service, praised Charles, 77, for his decades of devotion and said, “The junior is not a title of age. It’s something everyone can aspire to and be a conservationist — much like the King himself.”

“He may not be a youngster, but he’s a most important man in the conservation world,” the director added. 

Cirie Fields Shares Emotional Tribute After Ozzy Lusth's 'Survivor 50' Exit: 'Most Genuine Soul'

Thu, 05/07/2026 - 8:49pm

Cirie Fields is joining the Survivor fandom in mourning the loss of Ozzy Lusth on Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans.

Lusth was voted out during the Wednesday, May 6 episode of the series, despite possessing a hidden immunity idol that could've spared him from elimination. Season 50 marked his 5th time playing Survivor, and his second time leaving the game with an idol in his pocket.

The next day, Fields—Lusth's most loyal ally—penned an emotional tribute via Instagram.

"20+ years of outwitting, outplaying, outlasting… and somehow still staying one of the most genuine souls to ever step foot on that island. ❤️," Fields wrote. "Watching Ozzy Lusth play Survivor has always been incredible—the strength, the determination, the resilience, and the passion he brought season after season is something truly special. So many unforgettable moments, so many challenges conquered, and a legacy that will forever be part of Survivor history. 🌴🔥."

"But beyond the competitor everyone sees, I’m just grateful to have met the person behind it all. Kind, adventurous, humble, and always unapologetically himself. It’s rare to meet people who leave such a lasting impact both on and off the island," she continued. "Cheers to everything you’ve accomplished over these 20+ years, Ozzy. Thank you for the memories, the inspiration, and for being such an unforgettable part of this crazy Survivor journey. Much love always. ❤️🙌🏾."

In the comment section, a couple of Fields and Lusth's Survivor 50 co-stars offered their support.

"Two of the greatest humans right there," wrote Dee Valladares. "🥹🥹🫶🏾🫶🏾🩷🩷 love yall!!!" added Tiffany Nicole Ervin.

Survivor 50 marked the fifth time Fields and Lusth have played Survivor as well as their third time playing together, following 2008's MicronesiaFans vs. Favorites and 2017's Game Changers. In her post, Fields included snapshots of their 18 years playing the game together as tribe mates and allies.

Since Lusth's elimination occurred during a split tribal council, fans will have to wait until the Wednesday, May 13 episode to see Fields' reaction to Lusth's exit. Until this point, the pair plus newcomer Rizo Velovic appeared to be running the season.

Though Fields is still in contention for 50, both are among fans' top choices for the best Survivor players to never win.

Tennis Star's 'Supersuit' for French Open Is Turning Heads

Thu, 05/07/2026 - 8:41pm

Aryna Sabalenka is all set for the upcoming 2026 French Open.

The Belarusian player teased fans with an exciting post showcasing her 2026 Roland Garros kit.

In her latest Instagram post, the 28-year-old player, often dubbed the “queen of Tennis social media,” proudly introduced her custom Nike kit for the upcoming Grand Slam tournament.

The video first showed Sabalenka in a sleek all-black outfit before transitioning into a “supersuit.”

The tennis dress featured a black-and-red design with mesh detailing, giving the ensemble a flowy effect as she moved.

“My @nike supersuit for @rolandgarros,” she captioned her post.

This sparked a wave of admiration from fans, who were thrilled to see the kit make its debut on the court.

View this post on Instagram

“Hi, we’re obsessed,” the Tennis Channel remarked.

“Ready to see you take on the court in your super suit,” Nike commented.

“MY GODNESSSSSSS,” a follower said.

“You look gorgeous. You'll be turning a lot of heads!” an Instagram user echoed.

The same was true for another fan who pointed out, “OMG!!! Now we are talking about it! That is the outfit for the queen @nike the last ones were not nice.”

“Finally, Nike made justice to this queen,” a fan expressed the same sentiment.

Last year, the World No. 1 made a bold claim about her collaboration with Nike.

In a press interview following the 2025 WTA Finals championship match, Sabalenka jokingly expressed frustration over the design plans for 2026, implying that the collection might not be as exciting or creative as expected.

"People loved it, which is important,” she said, after a reporter asked about the cutout dress she was wearing at the time, adding, “Unfortunately, next season it just it's not going to be that special for me.”

After a reporter asked, “Why?” the tennis superstar answered, "Exactly! Maybe we should just start messaging Nike on Instagram and like putting some pressure on, but let's wait for 2027 because that year is going to be sick."

Regardless of her initial reaction to the 2026 kit, the four-time Grand Slam champion delivered in her latest collaboration with Nike, which has since received positive feedback from fans.

On the other hand, the French Open is scheduled from May 24 to June 7 in Paris.

The tournament will kick off with the first-round matches and will end with the women's singles final on Saturday, June 6.

As for the men’s singles, the final is scheduled for Sunday, June 7.

Zoë Kravitz Calls Out Hulu for Harry Styles Joke: 'Tacky'

Thu, 05/07/2026 - 8:10pm

Zoë Kravitz isn't putting up with any jokes made at the expense of her fiancée Harry Styles.

While promoting Kravitz's cancelled show High Fidelity on Instagram, the streaming service made a joke about the actress's relationship with the pop star.

“Robyn Brooks definitely has Kiss All the Time, Disco Occasionally on her playlist,” Hulu wrote alongside a photo of Kravitz as her High Fidelity character. 

The caption referenced Styles' fourth studio album, Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, which was released on Mar. 6.

“This is tacky @hulu,” Kravitz commented.

The post has since been deleted.

In April, People confirmed Kravitz and Styles are engaged after the actress was spotting wear a massive diamond ring on her left hand. The couple were first romantically linked in August 2025.

RELATED: Channing Tatum Shares Cryptic Message After Ex-Fiancée Zoë Kravitz Gets Engaged to Harry Styles

High Fidelity aired for one season on Hulu in 2020 and was a gender-flipped version of the 1995 novel and 2000 film of the same name starring John Cusack.

Kravitz, whose mother Lisa Bonet appeared in the film adaptation, played Robyn "Rob" Brooks, a young record store owner who revisits her past relationships through music and popular culture.

The show was cancelled in August 2020, six months after it initially dropped in February of that year. At the time, Kravitz slammed Hulu for cutting its only show led by a woman of color. 

“At least Hulu has a ton of other shows starring women of color we can watch. Oh wait,” she wrote on Instagram, according to Variety.

In 2022, the actress criticized the streamer again for the cancellation, calling it a “big mistake.”

“They didn’t realize what that show was and what it could do,” Kravitz told Elle. “The amount of letters, DMs, people on the street and women that look like us—like, that love for the show, it meant something to people."

The White House Baby Boom—Karoline Leavitt Gave Birth, but These Washington, D.C. Moms Are Still Pregnant

Thu, 05/07/2026 - 8:04pm

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt welcomed her first daughter, Viviana (a.k.a. Vivi), on May 1. And while the new addition to the administration is a much-anticipated arrival, several other Washington, D.C. moms are still expecting.

Leavitt is only one of the new mamas in the 2026 White House baby boom. So, who else is pregnant? Other political celebs in the spotlight include:

Wife to Vice President JD Vance, Usha Vance, is one of the most notable pregnant White House moms. As it turns out, she’s the first SLOTUS in over 100 years to have a baby while her husband is in office. That’s right, the last time this happened was in 1870! 

The Second Lady is already mom to three kiddos:  Ewan Blaine Vance (born in 2017), Vivek Vance (born in 2020), and Mirabel Rose Vance (born in 2021). She announced this pregnancy in January of 2026, posting a joint statement on Instagram with her husband that read, “We’re very excited to share the news that Usha is pregnant with our fourth child, a boy.” The Vances continued, “Usha and the baby are doing well, and we are all looking forward to welcoming him in late July.” 

SLOTUS recently showed off her growing belly bump at the welcome ceremony and the state dinner for King Charles and Queen Camilla, as well as the military moms' Mother’s Day celebration at the White House.

Usha Vance isn’t the only Washington wife who is about to welcome their fourth child. Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller’s wife, Katie Miller, is also expecting number four. Miller is already mom to Mackenzie Jay Miller (born in 2020), Jackson Grant Miller (born in 2022), and Hudson Monroe Miller (born in 2023). 

The pregnant mom recently ruffled feathers, posting, “The most feminist thing you can do is make babies,” on Instagram. While her fans and friends flocked to the post, applauding the sentiment (and the carousel of pregnancy pics), some had a very different point of view. 

In a less controversial post, Miller showed off her maternity style in a sleek, baby bump-baring gown at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Fans praised the picture, taken prior to the evening’s terrifying events, writing comments such as, “So glad you are safe! Stunningly beautiful!” and, “Such a great photo. Just gorgeous.” 

Miller has yet to reveal her due date. But given that she announced the pregnancy on New Year’s Eve, it seems likely that she’ll give birth sometime soon. 

‘Next Level Chef’ Season 5: Who Went Home Tonight? (Night 11 Elimination)

Thu, 05/07/2026 - 8:00pm

This summer, the Fifa World Cup is coming to FOX, so what better challenge for the five remaining chefs on Next Level Chef than to celebrate the worlds of soccer and food in a special, championship-inspired episode.

The chefs were tasked with creating a world-class fusion dish with ingredients tied to two different world cup countries in the all-new "The Ultimate Goal" episode. USA Soccer legend Alexi Lalas made a surprise appearance.

After last week’s results, Connor and Cole and were in the top-level kitchen with Richard Blais. Andy and Darian were in the middle level with Nyesha Arrington, leaving Gabrielle in the basement with Gordon Ramsay.

Conor held the Time Token, which he chose to use to add 10 seconds to his grab, rather than take 10 seconds away from one of his competitors. He said, “My best cooks have been the cooks with intentional grabs. If I can bring that together today with the time token, I feel good.”

Here's our spoiler-filled recap of who went home on Next Level Chef tonight.

The two dishes that fell into the elimination cookoff were by Andy and Cole, two of Gordon’s girls, going head-to-head. For their cook, they had to pay tribute to Alexi’s roots, which are from Greece. So, they had 25 minutes to create a Greek entrée.

The chef who cooked his final dish in the Next Level Kitchen was Andy.

“This was a dream come true,” Andy said. “I never imagined I would be here. I grew up in West Africa, so coming to America, the way my life has unfolded is truly an example of what’s possible. This beautiful seed of the food and love of cooking that has been nurtured in my heart by all three of you, I’m just so excited to keep it going and see it bloom and continue to share my heart and my food, so thank you.”

Next Level Chef airs Thursday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX. Streams next day on Hulu.

Witney Carson and Ezra Sosa Reveal the 'Villains' of 'DWTS'

Thu, 05/07/2026 - 7:48pm

Dancing With The Stars professional dancers Witney Carson and Ezra Sosa are finally revealing who the show's villains are.

"Every reality TV show needs a villain because there needs to be a story arc," Sosa said in an interview with Vulture for their "Reality Masterminds" series. "I’m sometimes more sat for the villain than I am the non-villains."

The pair were then asked who they thought the villain was on the latest season of the ABC competition series.

"Goodness, I don’t think anyone," Carson said. "Whitney Leavitt was painted as a villain on [The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives] and then she came to our show and reinvented herself, which I think was amazing."

Sosa added, "On season one of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, I was obsessed with Whitney Leavitt, but now, guess what? Everyone is."

Sosa then addressed a common misconception that the judging panel—made up of Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli—are the real villains of the show.

"I was going to say the judges, but they’re just doing their job," he said. "A lot of people think our judges are the villains because they give us low scores. Sis, they’re just doing their job. Rent is due."

Though neither offered a perfectly clear answer on who the villain is, Sosa was controversially paired up with Anna Delvey for season 33 in 2024.

The socialite divided fans as she had previously been convicted of multiple counts of grand larceny, attempted grand larceny, and theft of services after pretending to be a wealthy heiress in New York.

When asked his strongest memory of his former dance partner, Sosa replied, "It was probably the time when I rhinestoned her ankle monitor. That was during New York Fashion Week. I looked at her, and I was like, 'Can I rhinestone your ankle monitor?' And she was like, 'Of course.'"

"As a gay man, it was like music to my ears," he continued. "We were in New York, and she was teaching me how to walk. She was strutting it. We were walking in a show together, which is so iconic. It was for Pornhub. We don’t have to talk about that."

Dancing With The Stars—with Ciara Miller and Maura Higgins as contestants—returns this fall on ABC.

The #1 Mistake Parents and Grandparents Should Avoid Making With Their Kids, According to a Psychologist

Thu, 05/07/2026 - 7:41pm

When you’re parenting or grandparenting a child, there’s a lot to think about (and let’s be real, worry about), right? You may ruminate on all the ways you could get it “wrong,” from the mistakes well-meaning parents make to how to apologize to your kid, to even ”gentle parenting” mistakes. You might consider the ways you want to get it “right,” too, from raising a successful child to a happy kid to an emotionally intelligent child. It’s OK and understandable to feel exhausted by it all.

With that said, parents and grandparents have to remind themselves that no one is perfect and that they're going to make mistakes—and that doesn’t make them a “bad” parent or grandparent. All we can do is our best, and that is enough. 

Another reframe or focus that can help is realizing some parenting and grandparenting “blunders” are bigger than others, so you can give those more attention (though you can still come back from some of them). For a kickstart on that, Parade asked a psychologist to share the main mistake she thinks someone can make with a kid. She also shares healthier communication alternatives and other mistakes to avoid. Spoiler alert: Some of the latter examples are surprising (until you read her explanations). For all of that need-to-know info, keep reading.

The #1 Mistake Parents and Grandparents Should Avoid Making With Kids, Psychologist Warns

Thanasis Zovoilis/Getty Images

One of the biggest concerns a psychologist has about parenting and grandparenting is comparing a child or grandchild to their siblings or other children. It can seriously affect their mental health, even if it seems like “just one small comment.”

Let’s start with some context on what that looks like.

“Parents and grandparents tend to do this when one child lacks a positive trait, behavior or skill that another child demonstrates,” saysDr. Jolie Silva, PhD, a psychologist and the chief operating officer at New York Behavioral Health. 

Examples of those phrases could include, “I wish you were as smart as your older sister,” or “Why can’t you be more like Luke [their brother]?”

What’s really happening to the child, she continues, is a fueling of the “self-comparison fire.” Kids may begin to think they aren’t good enough. Having low self-esteem like that is bad enough—it flat-out doesn’t feel good, and it’s shaming—and it can lend itself to more serious concerns, like depression, anxiety, academic concerns and even suicidal ideation

“You want to avoid giving children reasons to compare themselves to others,” Dr. Silva continues. “The world will give them plenty of opportunities to do that, especially with social media.”

Healthier Ways To Communicate What You *Really* Mean

Some parents and grandparents may compare their child to another child in hopes of motivating (or even guilting) them to act similarly. According to Dr. Silva, this is “not a skilled way to foster change in a child.” 

Instead, she recommends asking the child open-ended questions about their behavior. What are the pros and cons of acting in the ways they are right now? See if they also conclude that change is needed. If so, they’ll be more likely to implement it.

3 Other Common Communication Mistakes Parents and Grandparents Make

Dr. Silva shares additional common mistakes parents and grandparents make with kids and grandkids, and why they matter.

1. Invalidating their feelings

Saying a phrase like, “It’s no big deal” or “There’s nothing to be worried about” to a child can be well-intentioned (you want to help them feel better!), but it can also invalidate their feelings, Dr. Silva says, making them feel as though they're “crazy” or unheard. Instead, validate them by communicating that you hear them and understand where they're coming from, and provide relevant support.

2. Excessively praising them

While comparing children and speaking negatively to them is a no-no, the opposite—too much positive praise—isn’t necessarily helpful, either.

Over-praising your child or grandchild minimizes the praise’s meaning and can even be considered patronizing to some children,” Dr. Silva explains. 

When you praise them after true accomplishments, they may be more likely to believe you and feel good about what they’ve done. This can also encourage them to continue in that way, or work as hard, in the future.

3. Praising global traits rather than specific behaviors

When you want your child to feel confident, you might compliment them by saying they have a positive trait that comes to mind quickly, like “smart,” “artistic,” or “athletic.” That’s fair and can help a child feel good. At the same time, it’s not necessarily your best option (which is especially important to keep in mind if you want to be a “magic-making” grandparent or parent). 

Research shows that praising children for effort, rather than a trait, increases their motivation, resilience and willingness to work harder,” Dr. Silva explains.

For example, instead of saying “you’re artistic,” you might say “I love how much thought and detail you put into that drawing.” Or, instead of “You’re smart,” you might say, “I appreciate how hard you worked on that assignment.” 

This helps them have a growth mindset versus a fixed mindset, which (in short) elicits feelings of purpose, hope and the willingness to keep trying.

Again, all parents and grandparents make mistakes, and it’s not the end of the world. Just do your best and be mindful of what Dr. Silva shared, and the kids in your life will appreciate it more than you know.

1991 Bestseller That Inspired a Hit TV Show Is Named Among America's 'Most-Loved Books' of All Time

Thu, 05/07/2026 - 7:26pm

This novel may be set in 18th century Scotland, but it's one of the most beloved books among American readers.

Diana Gabaldon's best-selling novel Outlander, which inspired the hit TV series of the same name, was unveiled as one of America's top 100 most-loved books by PBS' The Great American Read. The list included 100 titles that were voted on by readers, with Gabaldon's 1991 historical fiction novel finishing in second place.

It was outvoted by only one other title, perhaps one of the most revered American novels, Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird.

Gabaldon, an American author from Arizona, sparked both a literary phenomenon and a television craze with the Outlander books, which were adapted into the hit series starring Sam Heughan and Caitriona Balfe. It premiered on Starz in 2014, and ran for eight seasons, with the series finale slated to air later this month.

So far, Gabaldon has published nine books in the series, with the tenth and final book, A Blessing For a Warrior Going Out is still being written.

Outlander was a finalist in the vote for America's most-loved books, alongside other famed series that have been adapted for the screen, like J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter(ranked No. 3) and J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings (ranked No. 5). The Chronicles of Narnia series by C.S. Lewis also made the list, coming in at No. 9.

Other beloved titles that made the top 10 include Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen (No. 4), Margaret Mitchell's Gone with the Wind (No. 6) E.B. White's Charlotte's Web (No. 7), Louisa May Alcott's Little Women (No. 8) and Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre (No. 10).

Fans Still Can’t Get Over George O’Malley’s Death on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’

Thu, 05/07/2026 - 7:25pm

For many longtime fans of Grey's Anatomy, few moments in the show’s history hit quite as hard as the loss of George O’Malley. 

Played by T.R. Knight, George started as one of the original interns alongside Meredith Grey, Cristina Yang, Izzie Stevens, and Alex Karev. While George was often underestimated early on (earning the nickname “007” after freezing during surgery) the character gradually evolved, becoming a fan favorite.

George’s death occurred during the season 5 finale and season 6 premiere. In the episode “Now or Never,” which originally aired May 14, 2009, George was struck by a bus after jumping in front of it to save a stranger. The accident left him so badly injured that his fellow doctors couldn’t identify him at first. The heartbreak came when the unidentified “John Doe” patient traced “007” into Meredith’s hand, signaling who he really was.

The following episode, “Good Mourning,” which aired Sept. 24, 2009, confirmed George died from complications after surgery due to massive brain swelling.

Part of what made the moment so emotional was its timing. George had just decided to join the U.S. Army as a trauma surgeon before the show abruptly changed course, and 15 years later, fans still aren’t over it.

“Why in the world did I subject myself to the death of George O'Malley again on Grey's Anatomy? 😪😪,” one fan wrote on Threads in March.

Another insisted, “Why did George have to die after he joined the army? He could've been a doctor with them and the writers could've referenced O'Malley and he couldn't been a passive character until some guest appearance or something. HE DIDN'T HAVE TO DIE.”

“Gonna rewatch grey’s just to feel something for the zillionth time. ya’ll killed george o’malley for no reason,” one X user stated in February.

“Every time I get to the episode where George O’Malley dies on Grey’s Anatomy, I cry. Shonda had absolutely no reason to kill him like that,” another declared.

But George did eventually make a comeback in the show—sort of. In season 15’s “Flowers Grow Out of My Grave,” the character briefly appeared through archived footage. He returned again in Season 17, appearing in Meredith’s dreamlike beach visions while she battled COVID-19. 

That comeback served as a reminder that even after countless shocking deaths and cast exits across Grey's Anatomy’s 22-season run, George was one of the most impactful.

1970 ‘Breakup Film’ That Disappeared for 54 Years Is ‘Suddenly a Joy’ to Watch

Thu, 05/07/2026 - 7:08pm

On April 10, 1970, the world’s biggest rock band called it quits. Weeks later, The Beatles released Let It Be, a raw and intimate film capturing Paul McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr rehearsing, relaxing, and recording what would become their final album together. 

But beneath the music and moments of levity was a growing sense of tension and change — one the band members struggled to revisit. After a brief theatrical run, the so-called “breakup film” vanished for decades.

Released on May 8, 1970, Let It Be arrived shortly after McCartney publicly announced the band’s split. Behind the scenes, the loss of longtime manager Brian Epstein had deepened fractures within the group, and the mood between the Fab Four was anything but, well, fab. 

One of the film’s most notorious scenes captures the tense exchange between McCartney and Harrison, with Harrison remarking, “I’ll play whatever you want me to play.” Candid and honest, it’s a fly-on-the-wall moment that solidifies the film more than a concert doc, but a piece of rock history.

Let It Be isn’t all lows, however. Throughout the reel, the guys are seen joking in rehearsals, experimenting in the studio, and enjoying their time making music together. As RogerEbert.com observes, the British documentary reminds us that “the mighty Beatles were also very human.” 

The film culminates in the now-iconic rooftop concert, featuring performances of “Get Back,” “Across the Universe,” and “Let It Be.” And even though it wasn’t a box office smash in the way their previous films, like A Hard Day’s Night, were, Let It Be still briefly reached No. 1 at the U.S. box office and even earned the group an Academy Award for Best Original Song Score.

Still, the film was universally panned by fans and critics, who became fixated on moments of tension, which the director later tells Grammy.com is because audiences were “looking for little bits of sharp metal on the sand to think why they’d broken up.” But even the Beatles themselves distanced from the movie, with none attending the premiere. 

Harrison later said, “Most of it makes me so aggravated. I can't watch it because it was a particularly bad experience.”

Branded “grim” and depressing, Let It Be quietly disappeared from circulation, with director Michael Lindsay-Hogg comparing the decades-long exile to “solitary confinement.”

"I went through many years of thinking, It's not going to come out," he tells Grammy.com. “Then, suddenly, the sun comes out. And someone opens the cell door, and Let It Be walks out.”

In May 2024, Let It Be finally returned to the public eye when Disney+ restored and rereleased the film with the support of The Beatles: Get Back director Peter Jackson. Using technology developed by Jackson’s production company, the decades-old footage was remastered. 

The rerelease marked a long-overdue reevaluation of a movie whose painful reputation may have overshadowed its warmth. Critics hail it today as "suddenly a joy" to watch. Jackson echoes that sentiment in The Guardian, saying, “It's only right that his original movie has the last word."

Let It Be is streaming on Disney+.

While Crocs may be known for airy clogs, the brand also carries a wide range of sandals that are just as cute and cushiony. The Crocs Baya Slide Sandals are a fantastic choice, and they’re made of the same lightweight material as the widely popular Crocs Baya Clogs. Right now, you can score them on sale at Walmart for less than $25! 

Normally retailing for $35, these Crocs sandals are now marked down to just $20 in four colors. The light khaki, navy, and black versions are available in all sizes, which range from 6 to 15, while the white slides are only available in sizes 11 to 14.

Made entirely of durable foam, these Crocs sandals deliver all-day comfort. They have a thick sole, designed to cushion your feet with every step. However, the foam is incredibly lightweight, so the shoes won’t weigh you down. The soles will absorb the impact of your steps, reducing the pressure on your joints and also keeping your feet from feeling fatigued. 

After a few wears, the footbeds will mold to the shape of your feet to support their curves. Several shoppers, including those with plantar fasciitis, noted that these sandals have excellent arch support and are very comfortable to walk in. 

“I love the comfort, airiness, and look of these sandals,” one reviewer raved. Another shopper described them as “very comfortable and supportive,” while a third customer added that they have a “bouncy cushion.”

The surface of the footbed is completely plastered with tiny nubs with a rounded tip. They work to stimulate blood circulation while providing traction to prevent your feet from sliding out. Multiple shoppers noted that the nubs make them feel like their feet are “getting a little massage.”

The foam material is waterproof, making these sandals ideal for beach and pool days to protect your feet from hard or hot surfaces. Because they’re waterproof, these sandals are easy to clean — all you need is a little bit of soap and water. The foam is also odor-resistant, ensuring that they stay in pristine condition for as long as possible. 

The upper is crafted with two wide and thick straps, adding a fun and beachy accent while working to keep your feet in place. They have an airy design, allowing your feet to breathe to keep them from overheating — it’s no surprise that shoppers called these sandals a “summer must-have.”

In total, the straps feature 12 holes where you can insert jibbitz, which are charms designed to fit in any Crocs shoes. They’re a great way to make your sandals feel a bit more decorative and allow you to show off your personality.

Bertinelli is single and has love in her life in other ways. "I have such exquisite love in my life," she told Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones. She has her son, Wolfgang Van Halen and his wife, Andraia Allsop. The actress also mentioned her animals and friends.

The actress released a memoir in 2024 called Getting Naked: The Quiet Work of Becoming Perfectly Imperfect. "But there’s something about intimate love, and I write about it in my book," she said. "There’s something about an intimate love with a partner, and I haven’t had a partner in over a decade, at least."

She said she missed that, but there is one thing she enjoys about being single. "I do miss that," she said. "But then there’s another part of this, like, I am so independent and I can do everything on my own."

Bertinelli's Lifetime movie Love, Again premieres Saturday, May 9 at 7 p.m. ET. The cast has another familiar face with Eric McCormack from Will & Grace.
