If you’re in the mood for a YA horror with a queer romance, look no further. Body Count by Codie Crowley is out now, and it’s brings a wonderful mix of Supernatural, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and all the other horror shows we fell in love with as teens.

This is one of those books that would also make an excellent movie. There are Final Destination vibes mixed in with a younger version of the Wishmastermovies. However, I will warn you that some smutty moments could be uncomfortable for some readers.

‘Body Count’ Reminds Us to Be Careful What You Wish For

If you’ve watched Wishmaster, you know to be careful what you wish for. Magic always comes with a price, and in Body Count, that price is death. There are clues throughout the novel with a song that is routinely played, and I couldn’t help find myself wondering how that song would sound if the entire story played out on the big screen.

The problem is that not everyone understands that wishes come with a price, and that’s especially the case for a nine-year-old girl. Why should she realize this at first? It doesn’t take her too long to realize that her wishes have caused a death, and that’s enough to keep her alive for a while, but those wishes were always going to catch up with Sundae.

With Lia’s wish, which she sort of makes more as a joke, there’s a great topic of manipulation. I wish Body Count explored that a little more. While Lia didn’t mean to change the memories of those around her, she did, and that affected everything that happened afterward. Sundae is a little too quick to forgive, and I think that’s more because the focus was on the plot over some of the character development.

In the end, we get to see a romance blossom between these two young women. It’s a beautiful reminder that found family is just as important as real family, and also, it takes a team to bring down a great evil. Around the halfway point, the tension and the story really picks up, and it’s from that point that I couldn’t put it down, as I looked for how Lia, Sundae, and their friends were going to take down Holly Jolly — and even figure out what this creature was!

I appreciated the pop culture references throughout Body Count. Lia’s friends are like me. I will often think of a situation and put it into the world of a book, a movie, or a TV show. Even while reading this story, I thought about all the movies and shows that it reminded me of. The problem is that this runs the risk of sucking the book into a time period. Fortunately, there are some great movie references of the ‘60s and ‘70s and not just the present day to avoid it, but there’s always that risk of making a book a little too timely.

Body Count would make for a great movie — and yes, a movie rather than a TV show. The fast plot helps to set up for the two-hour time limit, reminding me of stories like I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream. There are plenty of visual aspects that I could see come to life in wild ways on the big screen.

However, here’s my warning. I wouldn’t class this as traditional YA, especially compared to Thrall by Rebecca Mahoney, which I felt was more YA. Body Count is packed with sexual references and swearing. In fact, around 75% of the way through, there is a smutty scene, and I just know that my teenager would be embarrassed to read such a thing.

On top of that is the “s–t cup” that Sundae and her group of friends are trying to win. It’s all about sleeping with as many people as possible, and while this is supposed to be about women taking the words back, something just didn’t work for me, personally. I think it would have been had it been aimed at older audiences, but as a YA book, I just don’t think it works.

Yet, the writing does focus a lot on high school drama, which then pulls it back to the YA sphere, and it affected my enjoyment of much of Body Count. Yes, I know that YA can have smut, but we usually get more fade-to-black scenes. It's just something to be aware of as a reader, especially as the parent of a reader.

That being said, it’s a fun and campy horror. Marketed toward the right age group, they could be the perfect read. Body Count is now available, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it were the next horror optioned for a movie.

Jake Reiner is honoring his late parents, Rob Reiner and Michelle Singer Reiner, in a new episode of his podcast.

Jake, 35, made his return as one of the hosts of his Los Angeles Dodgers show, The Incline: Dodgers Podcast. The baseball fanatic's return comes over four months after his parents were found dead in their Brentwood home in December 2025.

Jake's brother, Nick Reiner, was arrested and charged with first-degree murder for their parents' deaths. He has pleaded not guilty.

Reiner kicked off the podcast by noting that he didn't want to instantly launch into baseball talk without addressing what he's been through recently. In a poignant message, he spoke about how he and his father connected over their love of the Dodgers.

"When it comes to the Dodgers, you know, my first love, is something that I've always connected with my dad first and foremost, and it's something that I will continue to connect with him for the rest of my life," he shared.

Calling it "a good time to come back," Jake said he "didn't wanna just jump on the podcast and start talking about the Dodgers' offensive woes or bullpen woes without, you know, addressing some things first." He expressed tremendous gratitude for "all the love" and support he's received "since everything's happened."

"I couldn't appreciate that more," Jake continued, sharing that he's tried his best to get back to everyone. "I felt it was time to come back to the podcast. I was thinking about it for a really long time and have been talking to Kevin about it for a while now."

Jake Reiner Broke His Silence

On April 24, Reiner returned to social media with a touching post that spoke about his parents' deaths for the first time.

“A week from today will be my first birthday without my parents. I consider myself lucky to have had them by my side for the past 34 years,” he shared via Instagram. “In the last four months, I’ve learned a lot about grief. I want to thank @iamdavidkessler, who has been instrumental in navigating the horrors of this process, as well as my family and friends.”

In a Substack essay, Reiner elaborated, speaking about the tremendous loss he suffered, calling it a "living nightmare."

“I was robbed of so many things that day. My parents won’t be at my wedding, they won’t get to hold their future grandchild, and they won’t get to see me have the successful career I’m still seeking. It simultaneously breaks my heart and enrages me,” Jake wrote. “Nothing can prepare you for what it feels like to lose both parents instantly at the same time. It’s too devastating to comprehend. I still wake up every morning having to convince myself that, no, it’s not a dream. This truly is my living nightmare.”

What Is The Way Home About?

The family drama tells the story of three powerful women: Kat Landry (Chyler Leigh), Kat's teenage daughter, Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) and Kat’s estranged mother Del (Andie MacDowell).

More than 20 years prior, life-changing events created a chasm in their family that time has yet to repair. Kat and Del still aren’t on speaking terms. Alice has never met her grandmother and is unaware of the reasons for their fractured family. When these three generations come together under one roof for the first time in more than two decades, a surprising discovery sets the trio on a path toward healing and helps them find their way back to each other.

There's nothing like old castmates reuniting decades after appearing in a fan-favorite film. Black-ish star Anthony Anderson got a welcome surprise when he was visited by an old friend and castmate from Romeo Must Die, whom he hadn't seen in 26 years since filming the movie.

On The Tamron Hall Show, Hall had a star-studded lineup of guests, with Anderson appearing alongside Cedric the Entertainer to promote their new cookbook. Hall had a special surprise under her sleeve when bringing up one of Anderson's earliest big-screen roles with Romeo Must Die. The actor played the role of Maurice alongside Jet Li and Aaliyah.

The talk-show host asked Anderson how long it had been since seeing the legendary martial artist and actor, and he admitted it had been 26 years. In a surprise twist, Hall brought out Li to reunite the two actors since appearing in the action film.

"Reunited and it feels so GOOD! @anthonyanderson and @jetli reunite 26 years after working together on "Romeo Must Die" in our studio," she captioned the video on Instagram.

Anderson recalled an incident during filming in which he and Li were performing a fight scene and accidentally fell through a window. Anderson said he landed on top of Li in the fall, leaving the actor with three bruised ribs. Li was also a guest on Hall's show, alongside his daughters, to promote his book, Beyond Life and Death: The Way of True Freedom. Their reunion was not only a treat for the actors but for fans as well.

"You can’t tell me 25 years have passed the way they interact. It’s amazing," commented one fan.

Another fan commented, "Awww this took me back!! They had some funny scenes together."

Romeo Must Die is considered a cult classic action film that helped launch Li into Hollywood. He starred alongside Aaliyah in her film debut, with the two actors playing the roles of Han Sing and Trich O'Day, loosely based on William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. The film was also the only acting role of Aaliyah's to have been released before her death in 2001. The film follows a former cop and martial artist who travels to America to uncover his brother's murder. He finds himself between two rival crime families and forms a bond with the daughter of the opposing side.

The film didn't pan that well with critics, but was a box office success. It made $91 million against its $25 million budget. Aaliyah also released a track for the film that topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Alongside its main stars, the cast also included Isaiah Washington, Russell Wong, DMX, and Delroy Lindo.

Rita Wilsonis sharing some of the unforgettable traditions that made late couple Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner so beloved among their Hollywood pals.

Speaking about the pair to PEOPLE in an article shared Thursday, May 7 , Wilson recalled one especially memorable gathering the couple loved to host: a “Bad Showbiz Party.” 

Guests were required to bring clips of their worst on-screen performances and watch them together as a group. “You have to bring a clip of your worst performance ever. Doesn't matter what it was from or how far back it went; you have to bring that,'" the 69-year-old recalled.

The actress explained that despite the cringe-worthy concept, pretty much everyone participated. “You have to put your worst showbiz moment on screen in front of all of these people, but everybody's in the same boat, so you know you're kind of safe,” she added.

Wilson, who worked with Reiner on films like Sleepless in Seattle and Mixed Nuts, also remembered another one of the couple’s elaborate get-togethers centered around The Godfather. According to Wilson, the marathon event included screenings of both films separated by a massive Italian dinner.

“They started [The Godfather] at maybe 3 p.m., and when that finished, they had a full Italian meal brought in,” she recalled. “We would have a full Italian meal and then screen The Godfather II.”

And those kinds of gatherings perfectly summed up who Rob and Michele were at their core. “There wasn't anyone more joyful,” she said, adding that “everything was a celebration” for the pair.

The memories come months after the couple were found dead in their Los Angeles home on Decemebr 14, 2025. Their son, Nick Reiner, was later arrested and charged in connection with the deaths.

Nick made another court appearance last week tied to the ongoing case. During the April 29 hearing in Los Angeles, the 32-year-old waived his right to the standard 30-day preliminary period, allowing the proceedings to move forward more quickly. Prosecutors are now expected to formally present evidence during a preliminary hearing scheduled for September 15, 2026.

According to reports from the courtroom, Nick appeared mostly emotionless throughout the hearing, speaking only briefly to answer the judge’s questions. He previously pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree murder back in February. 

Universal Orlando Resort confirmed this week what park followers have been buzzing about for months. Closures. New dining concepts. A replacement themed area where Lost Continent currently stands. And a CityWalk addition tied to a name most people recognize from a very different context.

The Horror Make-Up Show temporarily closes May 12, 2026. According to a release, Universal Orlando is retooling the attraction with a mix of classic and modern horror properties, keeping the comedic, slightly unhinged tone that has held audiences since the '90s. Universal is calling the updated version "shockingly fun." No plans have been revealed about the new show. Expect that to change closer to opening day.

Islands of Adventure: Lost Continent Is Being Phased Out — Mythos Closes in 2027

Universal Orlando has confirmed that Lost Continent will be dismantled in phases to make room for a new themed area. No name and no theme have been announced. Construction planning is already underway.

Mythos Restaurant closes permanently in 2027. The cave-carved ceiling, the waterfall visible from the dining room, the menu that made a lunch reservation the centerpiece of a full park day, all of it gone. Universal has not announced what replaces it. That announcement hasn't come. It's the one worth watching for.

Thunder Falls Terrace closes this summer. Universal Orlando is rebuilding it as the primary full-service dining experience for Islands of Adventure, with a 2027 opening, the same year Mythos closes for good. Whether it builds the same following Mythos held for two decades is an open question.

Fat One's Hot Dogs & Italian Ice, founded by *NSYNC's Joey Fatone and business partner Joe Mulvihill, is coming to Universal CityWalk. Menu details haven't been released, but the concept centers on hot dogs and Italian ices. The Hot Dog Hall of Fame closes in July to make room. 

Previously Confirmed: What Else Is Coming to Universal Orlando

Five Guys is coming to CityWalk. Luke Combs' dining concept, Category 10, is also confirmed. Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift, a high-speed roller coaster, arrives at Universal Studios Florida in 2027.

Universal Orlando says additional details across all of these projects will be released in the coming months.

HGTV is bringing back a familiar face for a new series, and fans are thrilled. Former Farmhouse Fixer star Jonathan Knight is returning to the network to lead a new show titled Crashers.

People shared on May 6 that Knight, who became a superstar as a member of New Kids on the Block, will star in a 13-episode run of Crashers. The series is a revival of an older HGTV show that originally aired from 2008 to 2011.

View this post on Instagram

HGTV shared the exciting news in an Instagram post on May 6. The caption began, "Make way—we're rebooting Crashers!"

As the network teased, the premise of the show is that Knight and his team show up to provide an "ambush-style" renovation. The "Homeowners get a surprise, 72-hour transformation of a space of their choosing," the network explains.

Fans and Fellow HGTV Stars Are Already Sharing Their Excitement

Fans and Knight's fellow HGTV colleagues couldn't hold back on sharing their excitement.

Love It or List It star Page Turnergushed, "So excited for @jonathanknight!!"

Fixer to Fabulous star Jenny Marrsadded, "Can't wait!!! Yay, @jonathanknight!"

A friend commented, "Couldn't happen with a better Kid!"

Someone else added, "Yay! Our favorite home renovator is back!!!!"

As HGTV explains, Knight will surprise people in various places, such as hardware stores and furniture boutiques, to give them an opportunity to have a room renovated. The catch is that they need to leave their house immediately and have no say in the design of the new space.

The HGTV star and his team will tackle a wide range of spaces, from kitchens to backyards. Knight teases, "Everyone has that one space that really needs work. But they have no time, no money and no idea where to start — and that's where I come in."

He added, "I love a challenge and especially one that's going to change someone's life in 72 hours."

Knight's return to HGTV comes about a year after he and his show, Farmhouse Fixer, were dropped by HGTV. He was one of several network personalities whose shows were lost during a surprising wave of cancellations.

Other HGTV shows dropped included Married to Real Estate, Bargain Block, Izzy Does It, Battle on the Beach, The Flipping El Moussas, and Christina on the Coast.

Knight and his new show, Crashers, debut on HGTV on Monday, June 8 at 10 pm Eastern, 9 pm Central.

It's that time of the year again, a period when we're able to pay respect to one of the people most responsible for caring for us, nurturing us and raising us into the semi-functional human beings we are today.

Valerie Bertinelli is reflecting on the painful reality behind her marriage to one of rock’s biggest stars. In a candid new interview, the actress opened up about the “amazing good times” she shared with Eddie Van Halen—along with the “tragic, scary, hard times” fueled by addiction, unresolved trauma and years of emotional struggle before their relationship ultimately came to an end.

On the May 6 episode of SiriusXM’s Where Everybody Knows Your Name, Bertinelli discussed her 26-year marriage to Van Halen, which ended in 2007.

"We had amazing good times and really tragic, scary, hard times because we were both drinking, using drugs in the '80s, and then I stopped, and he didn't, Bertinelli told podcast host Ted Danson. And neither one of us was taking care of our childhood trauma ... We went to therapy. We loved each other dearly, but it just, at a certain point, after Wolfie got to a certain age, I thought, 'I can't do this anymore.'"

Bertinelli has spoken about her marriage to Van Halen in the past as well. In 2024, she told People magazine that she was grateful to Van Halen because they welcomed their son together. However, she's been more than clear about the tough times she went through with her ex, who died in 2020, after having a stroke.

"What we had together was this beautiful son that we both unconditionally loved," she told the outlet. "That's what I got out of that marriage was Wolfie, the best thing that ever happened to me. Not a soulmate."

These days, Bertinelli is focused on her son and taking care of her own mental health. She released her memoir, Getting Naked, on March 10. On the inside pages, Bertinelli "reflects on the hard-won lessons of aging, self-worth, and letting go," according to the book's description on Amazon.

If you’re the kind of traveler who meticulously plans every minute of your itinerary, Windstar Cruises has a challenge for you. The leader in yacht-style cruising has just announced three new "Mystery Cruises" for 2026 and 2027, putting the entire adventure squarely in the hands of the captain.

The concept was born from a happy accident in French Polynesia when a cyclone forced a ship to reroute to the remote Marquesas Islands. What could have been a disaster turned into the guests' favorite part of the trip. Now, Windstar is leaning into that spontaneity for travelers who feel they have done it all and want to trade rigid schedules for authentic discovery.

Windstar Cruises

While the specific docks are a secret, Windstar has released the starting and ending points for these 2026 and 2027 sailings:

• Northern Europe Mystery Cruise (April 2027): A seven-night trek from London to Amsterdam. You’ll start by sailing under the iconic Tower Bridge before winding through intimate harbors, ending just in time for tulip season.
• Japan Mystery Cruise (September 2027): This 11-night voyage takes place on the brand-new ship, Star Seeker. It starts in the wild frontier of Hokkaido and ends in vibrant Osaka, with plenty of surprises across the Japanese islands in between.

The Private Yacht Vibe

Windstar Cruises

Because Windstar’s ships are small—hosting fewer than 350 guests—they can tuck into tiny ports that the "big box" cruise ships simply can't reach. The experience on board feels more like a private club than a traditional cruise, featuring an "Open Bridge" policy where you can visit the captain and a menu designed by the James Beard Foundation.

For the person who usually manages the family calendar, these mystery sailings offer the ultimate luxury: not having to make a single decision.

As 9-1-1 heads toward its mid-Season 9 return on April 30, 2026, viewers are likely wondering how much crazier things can get. As one Redditor put it, the series has seen "so many silly emergencies" throughout the years that it's hard to imagine how much more out of the box the writers can get as time goes on.

Somehow, they proved themselves perfectly capable when they kicked off the latest season by sending multiple first responders to space—even more incredulous than the Blue Origin flight featuring celebrities like Katy Perry and Gayle King.

While we may not be able to even begin to fathom what might hit our screens next, we can look back on some of the more outlandish plot devices employed since 9-1-1 premiered, from the ever-ridiculed beenado to the tsunami that decimated Santa Monica—and was promptly forgotten by the following episode.

Here are 6 times that 9-1-1 went utterly off the rails, in no particular order.

Related: You’ll Be Shocked These 11 9-1-1 Emergencies Were Real

1. The beenado

As mentioned above, perhaps one of the most talked about episodes—Bobby's death notwithstanding—was the Season 8 premiere, in which the series appeared to take inspiration from the both laughed-at and lauded Sharknado franchise.

Even star Oliver Stark called it "ludicrous" as the 118 responded to an overturned tractor trailer that unleased a swarm of millions of angry bees upon the streets of Los Angeles, which went on to serve as the inciting event of the trilogy season premiere, which concluded with Athena (Angela Bassett) heroically landing a passenger liner with absolutely no piloting experience after a smaller plane with a pilot incapacitated by the bees crashes into their flight, seriously injuring one pilot and causing the other to be ejected into the vast expanse of sky beyond.

2. When Athena and Hen went to space

If I had a nickel for every time Angela Bassett nailed a wildly unrelated career path with no training under duress, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

In the Season 9 premiere, which spans across a whopping four episodes, Athena and Hen suddenly become astronauts after the paramedic saves the life of a tech giant who in no way at all resemblesJeff Bezos, who offers her and a guest a spot on his next Blue Origin-esque flight in thanks.

When a storm in space impacts the satellite network and sends a piece of space debris hurtling into their space pod and ignites a fire, Athena's quick thinking has her opening up the emergency hatch to vent out the oxygen and snuff out the fire, but it sparks a new problem: their oxygen is now dwindling.

The passengers direct themselves across the gaping abyss to board the International Space Station, where they're still faced with the question of how to get home as the space storm continues to rage. Eventually, ever the hero, Athena suits up for a spacewalk that's absolutely critical to get their pod repaired. When her tether fails, it leaves her floating off in zero gravity and running out of air, and only keeping her wits about her can help her make it back.

3. When Athena and Bobby's honeymoon turned into The Poseidon Adventure

Back on Earth, but equally unrealistic, was the Season 7 premiere arc (do you see the pattern?), which took clear inspiration from the classic Poseidon Adventure scripts. While trying to catch a single break in their hectic existences and enjoy their honeymoon, Bobby and Athena quickly find themselves back in first responder mode when pirates hijack their cruise ship and later set off an explosion that ultimately causes it to capsize.

As if that's not enough, while all of this is going on, nobody else is particularly concerned about the fact that the ship has disappeared from radar, as a massive stormfront has moved in and scrambled communications. It's only at the persistence of Hen and the rest of the 118 that the cavalry is eventually called in.

4. The tsunami

Continuing with the pattern, we have the three-episode Seaon 3 premiere arc, which follows our favorite, intrepid firefighters, paramedics, police officers and dispatchers as a tsunami wipes out the Santa Monica pier with next to no warning, leaving Buck trapped in the flood waters with Eddie's young son Christopher and the rest of his colleagues struggling to make their way through the decimated area to offer their assistance.

Perhaps even more outrageous is the fact that life goes on as normal following the episode, with minimal mention of the resulting damage to LA County.

5. A shark attack on the freeway

An apparent embellishment of a real-life incident, this episode from Season 2 found a tiger shark thrown from a tractor-trailer in another freak traffic accident. Somehow, it managed to find a victim to attack in the chaos, latching onto the length of one of its keeper's arms after it was thrown from its jack-knifed trailer.

After using the literal jaws of life to pry its teeth out of the man's flesh, they strapped it up to the part of the ladder overhanging the roof of their truck and drove it back to the sea, effectively freeing Willy.

6. When a length of rebar pierced Chimney through his forehead

It may not be the sci-fi scene of viewers' dreams, but we'd be remiss not to mention the very early-on, jaw-dropping moment in the third-ever episode of 9-1-1 that found Chimney pierced straight through the forehead with a lengthy piece of rebar, which left him with absolutely no long-term deficits. Talk about unbelievable!

Man on Fire, the action thriller that marked one of Denzel Washington’s career-defining moments, is enjoying a renewed resurgence after landing on the list of must-watch streaming films.

According to Rotten Tomatoes, the popular online review-aggregation website for film and television, it recommended a selection of movies available through the streaming service Fandango at Home.

From new releases to cult classics, the list highlights fan favorites, award-winning movies and overlooked gems that deserve a fresh spotlight years after their debut.

Among them is Man on Fire, directed by the acclaimed filmmaker Tony Scott.

Released in 2004, the movie follows Washington as John Creasy, a former CIA operative who embarks on a relentless quest for vengeance after a nine-year-old girl is abducted in Mexico City.

The young girl, Pita Ramos, played by star Dakota Fanning, was someone Creasy protected and eventually formed a deep bond with.

How a Five-Book Series Became a Blockbuster Film and TV Show

The Washington-led movie was a commercial success at the time of its release.

Man on Fire reportedly earned around $130.3 million worldwide with a production budget of about $60 million to $70 million.

During its opening weekend, the action thriller ranked No. 1 at the U.S. box office with $22.7 million in ticket sales.

Following its commercial success, the film also earned multiple nominations, including Best Young Actress at the 2005 Critics' Choice Movie Awards.

In the same year, the film was also nominated for Outstanding Motion Picture and Outstanding Actor in a Motion Picture for Denzel Washington at the NAACP Image Awards.

Although Washington failed to win major recognition, the movie cemented his Hollywood status and showcased his ability to carry high-stakes action thrillers, further solidifying a strong reputation in the genre.

After 22 years, the movie received a television adaptation of the same name, which premiered on April 30, 2026, starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as John Creasy.

Both the film and the series were based on the 1980 novel written by A. J. Quinnell.

The television adaptation, which premiered on April 30, 2026, stars Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as John Creasy. Both the film and the series are based on the 1980 novel by A. J. Quinnell.

Interestingly, Man on Fire is the first in a five-book series by the renowned author, which was published over a 16-year period.

Now considered a cult classic in the thriller genre, the Creasy series includes the 1992 novel The Perfect Kill, The Blue Ring released in 1993, Black Horn in 1994 and the final book Message from Hell released in 1996.

Kate Hudson certainly knows how to set the red carpet on fire.

The acclaimed actress, 47, who rose to stardom as Penny Lane in 2000's beloved musical film Almost Famous, solidified her star status over the years with roles in films like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Bride Wars, and Song Sung Blue. Now starring in the second season of the hilarious Netflix basketball series Running Point, the blonde beauty hit the red carpet at the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood for a special screening of Martin Short's new Netflix documentary film, Marty, Life Is Short. While plenty of people were there to see Short, it's safe to say they were distracted by Hudson's stunning sideless dress. The golden mustard-colored gown, which looked rather demure from the front, was entirely sideless all the way down to her hips, revealing just enough to keep the crowds intrigued.

Hudson's Perspective on Parenting

Hudson, who is the daughter of legendary actress Goldie Hawn, has three children, Ryder, 22, Bingham, 14, and Rani, 7. She spoke candidly in a new interview about the values she's instilled in her children as she's gotten older.

"Well, my thing is, if my kids drive or purpose is for fame and success, then it's something that would feel like a failure of mine," Hudson told Fox News Digital. "If that is how they equate feeling significant, then, you know, they're being fed a lie."

Instead, she hopes they find something that truly excites them in life, rather than placing all the emphasis on getting famous.

"So, for me, the most important thing for me with my kids is that they feel self-possessed, that they understand what really drives purpose, and what does a purposeful life look like for them, and where do they hold their values, right? What are those values and why? And if you value fame and success, we'd probably have a big sit-down," Hudson continued.

Savannah Guthrie returned to Today after suddenly leaving the show mid-broadcast the day before.

Viewers were likely glad to see the NBC morning show co-anchor, as she exited Today early on Wednesday, May 6.

Savannah Guthrie Returned to Today on May 7 After Making an Abrupt Exit

On Thursday, May 7, Savannah was by Willie Geist's (who filled in for Craig Melvin) side to kick off the program promptly at 7 a.m. ET.

The anchors discussed Elle, the Legally Blonde prequel series, and did not mention Savannah's absence or the reason for it. Additionally, Savannah did not address NewsNation's May 6 special on The CW that recapped her mom Nancy Guthrie's abduction.

It’s true, Savannah Guthrie, the daughter of missing Nancy Guthrie, did leave the set early today. Why does this spark so much interest? Because everyone is always hoping there’s news about Nancy. 💛

Among the fans at the plaza whom Savannah missed on Wednesday was a former high school teacher. The Today co-anchor took to her Instagram Stories to write, "Thank you for coming!" alongside hearts, on a still of the woman holding a poster. The poster read, "Savannah!

— Shana Lee (@ShanaLeePNW) May 6, 2026 Savannah's Absence Came as Her Mom Nancy Remains Missing

Savannah’s mid-show exit from Today, 30 minutes before the show was set to end, drew concern from viewers, many of whom wondered whether it was connected to her mother’s disappearance, though there is no indication that it was and no further explanation was provided.

It has now been more than three months since her mom, Nancy, was abducted from her home in Tucson, Ariz. On April 6, Savannah returned to Today for the first time since her mother went missing, garnering plenty of love and support from her co-stars. She has since taken off most Fridays.

In the meantime, the Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI continue searching for Savannah's mom and combing through evidence, including DNA samples. Nancy was last seen at her Catalina Foothills home on the evening of Jan. 31. As of writing, no suspect has been named.

Short's Daughter Died by Suicide

Short's first public appearance comes just over two months after his daughter, Katherine, who worked as a licensed clinical social worker, died by suicide in February at age 42. She was the eldest adopted child of Short and his late wife, Nancy Dolman, who died of ovarian cancer in August 2010 at the age of 58. The couple had been married for three decades.

"It is with profound grief that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short,” the Short family told PEOPLE in a statement at the time. “The Short family is devastated by this loss and asks for privacy at this time. Katherine was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world.”
