Beef, it’s what’s for dinner. Or is it?

Many Americans have had to tighten their belts over the past year as food prices skyrocket. With Memorial Day around the corner, signaling the unofficial start to summer, the ground beef you use to make your grilled burgers might not be as accessible. 

For a lot of us, summer is the time to keep the grill uncovered. Whether you have a backyard bonanza planned for the whole group or an impromptu weeknight family dinner, ground beef is a staple that graces many American tables. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, that staple will cost you a lot more this year. 

Like everything else in this economy, ground beef is at an all-time high, clocking in around $6.71 a pound as of March 2026. If we look back over the last four years, the increase has been massive since January 2025, when the prices spiked the highest percentage they’ve had since the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

We can look at the price changes over that time. Here are the beef prices going back four years:

• March 2022 $4.76
• March 2023 $4.81
• March 2024 $5.13
• March 2025 $5.79
• March 2026 $6.71

The percentage increases from March 2022 onwards:

• 1.05% from 2022 to 2023
• 6.65% from 2023 to 2024
• 12.87% from 2024 to 2025
• 15.89% from 2025 to 2026

From 1985 until the massive price spike in 2015, ground beef prices fluctuated but didn’t spiral too far out of control. Over the past 11 years, however, prices have been shooting up to record levels while many Americans complain their wages can’t keep up. 

There are plenty of TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube accounts dedicated to showing you how to make your ground beef favorites for less, using ingredients like lentils, textured vegetable protein, and vegan grounds to supplement beef or replace it altogether. Ground chicken and ground turkey have also become popular options in dishes like pasta, meatballs, and meatloaf, replacing beef in recipes once dominated by it.

As summer approaches, you may want to rethink your party and weeknight dinner menus. Meal rotations that once included beef may now be plant-based or featuring another ground protein. Commercials in the early 90s told us that beef was for dinner, but more than 30 years later, that may no longer be the case.

Haribo is bringing back two fruity flavors of its iconic Goldbears gummies this season.

The century-old candymaker is the latest company to find a sweet way to celebrate the 250th birthday of the U.S., following limited-time offers from brands including Betty Crocker, Hot Pockets, Monster Energy, Oreo, as well as Pillsbury, and this news is confirmation that fans have been begging for.

Haribo's Red, White and Blue Goldbears are coming back for the 2026 season, a spokesperson shared with Parade via email. And if you're familiar with the brand and its recent foray into seasonal mixes, then you're probably aware that this means the limited return of two exclusive flavors of the beloved gummy bears.

The limited-edition mix was first released in 2024 and features three highly acclaimed flavors: Pineapple, Cherry, and Blue Raspberry (the latter two Goldbears flavors are found only in this mix).

At its debut and upon its return last summer, fans were ecstatic and called it one of the "best flavor combos."

"A package consisting of only the 3 best flavors?" another reviewer wrote, "YES AND YES AGAIN! These need to be sold year round!!"

"I had these. These are a good mix of flavors," another shared on Reddit. "I like whenever Haribo pumps out a new variety of an old classic."

The brand recognizes that fans have been asking for the return of Red, White and Blue Goldbears since they last disappeared, so it's following through and making the festive variety available well ahead of the July 4 holiday and peak summer barbecue season.

Haribo

The returning favorite is expected to be available now at most major retailers or wherever other Haribo gummies are sold in 4-ounce share-size and 9-ounce stand-up-style packages, but only for a limited time this summer (prices may vary).

There are three things guaranteed in the world today: Death, taxes, and Jeopardy! being on. Believe it or not, the iconic game show has been on the air for over 60 years (though the modern incarnation we know and love technically debuted in 1984). Under the watchful eye of Ken Jennings (who himself was a record-breaking champion), Jeopardy! puts three people's trivia skills and reflexes to the ultimate test. And so many of the greats to grace those podiums started by simply watching the show as it aired on weekdays, as millions have done for over half a century.

Here's a spoiler-filled recap of who won Jeopardy! today, plus the answer to Final Jeopardy.

ShannonCrisenbery defeated returning champion Madeline Kaplan in a nail-biter game, winning $38,400 after wagering everything in Final Jeopardy.

Madeline Kaplan is an editor originally from Toledo, Ohio. Her reign ends after just one game, the latest in a series of one-and-done champions this season.

Jeremy Roberts is a technology analyst from Midhurst, Ontario, Canada.

Shannon Crisenbery is a data annotator from St. Clair, Michigan.

Final Jeopardy today was in the category "The Canadian Album Charts."

The clue: "In 2025 Taylor Swift tied Drake & this singer for the most No. 1 albums on Billboard's Canadian Albums chart, with 15"

The answer: Who is Céline Dion?

Pop culture chart knowledge came into play in Final Jeopardy, as two out of three players got it right. Crisenberry, who got off to a slow start earlier in the game, opted for the boldest all-or-nothing move, as she wagered her entire $19,200, answered correctly, and doubled her winnings to $38,400. A spectacular payoff! 

Kaplan played it more conservatively, wagering $3,000 of her $18,600 total, getting it wrong, and dropping to $15,600. Roberts, who came in with $7,200, wagered only $2,800, got it correct and walked away with a respectable third-place total of $10,000.

Crisenbery will return on Wednesday to defend her title.

Sunnie Reads is Reese’s Book Club’s suggestions for the YA space, and May 2026 has a book more than worthy of being picked. That Which Feeds Us is the latest novel by Keala Kendall, and it is completely different from the Moana what-if story that you know of. This novel is set to make you really think about what you consider paradise to be!

Get ready to delve into a mystery that will bring up darker elements of the past. You’re sure to start questioning the history that we know of now. After all, history has been written by the victor, and it’s time to take the truth back.

This isn’t a summery beach read, despite it being set in “paradise.” It follows Lehua, a woman who heads back to her native Hawai'i in search of her missing twin sister. Well, maybe she won’t find her sister, but she does want to learn what happened to her.

What Lehua doesn’t expect is to learn about the darkness of the luxury resorts. Kendall delves into real history about these resorts, making you question what you really think about luxury. It is a sense of The White Lotus with a Jordan Peele theme, something that the HBO series felt like it should have been from the start!

Random House BFYR

After all, these resorts have been built on top of plantations. They are benefitting from the slave trade, but it’s something that nobody wants to talk about. And while the novel itself is fictional, there are truths to the story that will leave you feeling somewhat uncomfortable — and that’s okay! It’s okay to not really like the feelings you’re sitting in, but sit in them to help see the world change.

There are some supernatural elements to the story as well, and there is a bit of a love story — but don’t confuse this for a romance. It’s definitely NOT a romance! This is a heartfelt story mixed with tension and suspense.

Within the story, there is also a tale of reclamation and belonging. We have a main character who hasn’t necessarily grown up in the culture that she comes from. She’s going back, reclaiming who she is while finding where she belongs, because she’s never felt like she belonged anywhere before.

That Which Feeds Us is now available to purchase, and it’s a must-read for those who love The White Lotus but want something a little more like Mexican Gothic. Kendall is writing from experience, as she is a Hawaiian native who now lives in Los Angeles, and the fictional location is based on the real Lāhainā resort.

Audiences have always flocked to science fiction movies, especially within the past decade or so. That being said, not all recent sci-fimovies are of the same caliber.

Colliderrecently shared a list of the top 10 "most perfect sci-fi movies of the last five years." The ranking, published on May 2, included hit films like Nope, released in 2022, 2026's Project Hail Mary, Frankenstein from 2025, 2024's Furiosa, 2022's Everything Everywhere All at Once, and 2023's Godzilla Minus One.

The publication named Dune: Part Two, released in 2024, the "most perfect" film from the science fiction genre since 2021.

Dune: Part Two, which has a 2-hour and 46-minute run time, has a 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes and a score of 79 on Metacritic.

In a November 2024 interview with fellow director Christopher Nolan, Denis Villeneuve, who directed and co-wrote both Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two, discussed adapting Frank Herbert's first Dune book, released in 1965. Villeneuve explained that when crafting the screenplays for Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two, he wanted to "create as much cinema and not falling into too much exposition."

He also shared that while he wanted to be faithful to the Dune novel, there were some details absent from the book that he had to "fill [in] the gap." The director explained that there's nothing in the novel about how one would ride the sandworm.

In addition, Villeneuve said he wanted to honor Herbert's desire not to have Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) be celebrated.

"[Herbert] wanted to do a cautionary tale, a warning against charismatic figures," said Villeneuve during the 2024 interview.

Villeneuve said he decided to make the message of his film "clear for the audience that Paul became a colonizer himself" and not a savior. One way he did so was to change Chani's (Zendaya) characterization from how she's presented in the Dune book.

"In the book, she's in the shadow of Paul. In the second half of the book, she disappears in his shadow. She's a believer. She follows him. And I thought that there was a opportunity there to have her become our moral compass," said Villeneuve to Nolan.

Do you have time in your schedule to squeeze a show or two this summer?

The English rock band Squeeze announced on Instagram this Tuesday that they will be touring around North America this coming August and September on their Tried, Tested and Trixies Tour, which supports their most recent album Trixies,and celebrates almost 53 years together. The ensemble announced their European dates last November, and they will take place this winter, with opening act Billy Bragg.

The North American leg of the tour is expected to kick off in Nashville on August 16 and conclude on Sept. 27 in Detroit. They are also making stops in Boston, New York City, Toronto, Cleveland, Denver, Salt Lake City, Portland, San Francisco, Las Vegas and more. Special guests will include Adam Ant and Haircut 100.

Formed in 1974 by Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook, Squeeze rose to prominence in the United Kingdom during the late 1970s. Though they weren't as popular in the United States, some of their hits, such as "Tempted," "Black Coffee in Bed" and "Hourglass" were popular and considered a huge part of the Second British Invasion, a 1980s pop culture movement where the world saw an increase in British pop music.

Though they took breaks in 1982 and from 1999 to 2007, the band has been together for 52 years. So far, Squeeze has released 16 studio albums, with their most recent being Trixies in March. The lineup has changed multiple times throughout the years, but the band's current members include Difford, Tilbrook, Stephen Large, Simon Hanson, Steve Smith, Melvin Duffy, Owen Biddle and Danica Dora.

When it came to writing Trixies, Difford and Tillbrook wanted to celebrate their 50-year career, and revisited their older songs. The 16th studio album revisited the tracks that the two wrote during their teenage years, way before releasing their self-titled debut album in 1978.

"These are very much the same songs that we wrote then," Tilbrook told Rolling Stone back in November. "The only difference is that now I can teach the songs to the rest of the band. Back then, I didn't even know what the names of the chords were."

Presale for the North American leg of the Tried, Tested and Trixies Tour will take place on Wednesday at 10 a.m local time, where fans can use their code "TRIXIES" for access. General sale will happen on Friday.

A new trailer for The Odyssey dropped Monday, and fans can’t wait for the summer blockbuster to hit the big screen. While mythology mavens and action enthusiasts are on pins and needles, it looks like there are three kiddos who are also pretty excited for this mega-movie.

Last winter, while promoting The Rip, actors Ben Affleck and Matt Damon appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. While the duo discussed their recent project with Fallon, the conversation turned to The Odyssey. Of course, Damon plays the title role of Odysseus in the Christopher Nolan flick, saying that it was, “Absolutely the pinnacle of my entire career.” 

Fallon asked Affleck about visiting his BFF on set, and the actor explained, “Yeah, I did, and I’m a huge fan of Chris.” But as it turns out, he wasn’t the only fan. Allfeck continued, “You know, it was one of those things where my kids never want to come to the set when I’m working…they’re like, ‘No, I got school.’ They’d rather go to school.”

Affleck went on to say, “They were really psyched to come visit the set. My middle child’s really interested in actually reading the ‘Iliad’ and the ‘Odyssey,’ and we went there, and it was really great.” 

Ben Affleck has three children with ex-wife, actress Jennifer Garner. The couple married in 2005 and divorced 13 years later in 2018. Affleck was also famously engaged to another Jennifer (that is, Jennifer Lopez) before marrying Garner. He reconnected with Lopez in 2021 and married the pop icon in 2022. But their romance didn’t last, and the pair divorced in 2025. 

While Affleck never had children with Lopez, he has maintained a seemingly solid co-parenting relationship with Garner. Their eldest child, Violet Anne Affleck, turned 20 last December and attends Yale University. Affleck and Garner’s middle child, Seraphina Rose Elizabeth Affleck, is a 17-year-old high school student who revealed a name change (to Fin) in 2024. The youngest Affleck, Samuel, was born in February of 2012. 

So now that you’ve seen the trailer and heard about Affleck’s kiddos’ reaction to the filming of the movie, when can you catch the epic? Even though a brand-new trailer just dropped, fans will have to wait to actually watch the full-length movie. The Odyssey, starring Matt Damon (of course), Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, and Zendaya, hits theaters on July 17, 2026. 

Hollywood has been in a love affair with Biopics for a good period now. The specific trend that most people point to is the Music Biopic, which received a massive new entry recently with Michael, the film about the life of Michael Jackson. This summer isn't done yet, however, with films of those we tragically lost too early, as the trailer for Tony released today, a film about the humble beginnings of the legendary Anthony Bourdain.

Bourdain was a hard man to categorize. Many knew him as a chef, and many also knew him as a writer. Some knew him also as a TV host on Parts Unknown and No Reservations. I think that's part of what made him such a successful and endearing figure. He defied categorization. He was somebody who made a legacy out of tearing away labels and creating community through writing, food, and travel. He was completely singular.

With such a massive, fascinating personality, it makes sense that a film would be made exploring his life. Tony is that film, directed by Matt Johnson fresh off of Nirvanna: The Band - the Show - the Movie, and stars Dominic Sessa (who is phenomenal in one of my favorites, The Holdovers) as Anthony Bourdain. The film is set to cover the beginnings of Bourdain's career in Provincetown, Massachusetts.

The trailer released today and was met with many mixed reactions from fans. Take a look:

Watch the first look trailer for #Tony starring Dominic Sessa as Anthony Bourdain - Coming to theaters this Summer. #movietok #firstlook #filmtok #anthonybourdain

The main divide comes at the topic of the film's existence. Many fans expressed that they feel Bourdain would not have wanted this film to be made.

"Idk if Bourdain would have wanted this."

"Anthony Bourdain wouldn't have liked this at all... however, I will be seated. Forgive me, Tony."

Others showed obvious excitement for the film, which I honestly share with them.

"Love the look, can't wait. Love me some Bourdain."

"Looks good. Hopefully they did Chef right!!!!"

"Ommmggggg this looks so good!"

Tony is set to release sometime in August, distributed by A24. I, for one, am very excited to see how this ends up. Matt Johnson has established himself as a unique filmmaking voice, and Dominic Sessa is a rising star who I think deserves much more attention. No matter what, I will be seated on release day.

When it comes to gift-giving, it’s easy to fall back on the usual suspects — candles, cozy loungewear, or fuzzy slippers — but those options don’t always feel especially personal. The best gifts are thoughtful, something that feels chosen rather than grabbed on the way to checkout. That’s exactly why birthstone jewelry has remained such a go-to. It has meaning built in, whether you’re celebrating a birthday, marking a milestone, or shopping for holidays like Mother’s Day.

Additionally, a gift that already feels complete, leaving you to just wrap it up, is also appealing. Instead of mixing and matching pieces or second-guessing your choices, a coordinated duo like the Gemstone Sterling Silver 2-Piece Jewelry Set at JCPenney does the work for you. It delivers that polished, personalized feel in one easy pick — and right now, it’s just $34, marked down 54% from its original $125 price tag.

This coordinated two-piece set includes a pendant necklace and matching stud earrings that are centered around a cushion-cut gemstone for a softly structured, light-catching silhouette. Each stone measures 7 millimeters by 7 millimeters, giving the pieces just enough presence to stand out while still feeling delicate and wearable. The center gem is framed by a halo of smaller lab-grown white sapphires, adding a refined sparkle that enhances the brilliance of the main stone without overwhelming the design.

What makes the set especially meaningful is its selection of 13 lab-created birthstones, each representing a different month with vibrant color — like garnet for January, amethyst for February, or sapphire for September. The lab-created gems offer the look and brilliance of natural stones at a more accessible price point, making it easy to gift guilt-free.

Set in sterling silver, the design feels crisp and polished, with the cool-toned metal amplifying the clarity and shine of the stones. The pendant hangs from an 18-inch rope chain finished with a spring ring clasp, adding texture that balances the clean geometry of the setting, while the post back stud earrings echo the same shape for a cohesive, polished look, whether worn together or separately.

Shoppers who bought this set for themselves and as a gift have praised it as both “pretty” and “petite” in the reviews section, noting how its “dainty” design looks “elegant.” One shopper wrote, “This set is gorgeous and sparkly, [and] goes with all styles.”

• Gemstone and White Sapphire Sterling Silver Halo Pendant Necklace, $43 (was $125) at JCPenney
• Gemstone and White Sapphire Sterling Silver Oval Double Halo Cocktail Ring, $43 (was $125) at JCPenney
• Gemstone Round 18-Inch Pendant Necklace, $34 (was $150) at JCPenney

With built-in meaning and a polished, coordinated design, the $34 Gemstone Sterling Silver 2-Piece Jewelry Set is an easy, thoughtful gift for Mother's Day or any other special occasion. Shop it at JCPenney while it’s 54% off!

The Foo Fighters almost didn't happen. At least that's what Dave Grohltold Stephen Colbert during his appearance on The Late Show on Monday, May 4.

Grohl was there with Foo Fighters to promote their new album, Your Favorite Toy, which was released on April 24, during which the band performed two songs from the new album, "Caught in the Echo" and "Window."

The 57-year-old drummer-turned-singer also sat down to chat with Colbert about everything from the longevity of Foo Fighters to how they named the new album. The late night talk show host cut straight to the chase, calling out the fact that the band has been together for 31 years, asking "Was there a specific moment when you knew you were ready to start a new band after Nirvana?"

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

"Yes, there was," Grohl responded. "When Nirvana ended, I wasn't sure what to do. I didn't know if I wanted to continue playing music. It made me sad to think of playing in another band; losing Nirvana, losing Kurt was a really dark emotional experience. So I thought ,you know, I just need to get my head together and I rented a car and drove around the Ring of Kerry in Ireland. It's gorgeous. One of the most beautiful places in the world."

The rock singer continued, "I was driving on this country road, and there were like sheep, and it was a great day. And there were green rolling hills, and all I wanted to do was disappear. And as I was driving down this country road, I see a hitchhiker, and he had a Kurt Cobain T-shirt on."

The audience audibly gasped as Grohl continued his story, "To me, I thought, 'Okay this is the universe telling me you have to continue, you have to go on, you have to go forward.'"

"Music has always been the love of my life, It's helped me through some of my most difficult moments and when I saw the kid with the Kurt Cobain T-shirt I thought, 'Okay I have to keep going.' I have so much reverence and respect for the past but I need to have a future."

The "Best of You" singer went on to explain the bond between Foo Fighters band members, calling them "the coolest people in the world" and playing on on-stage as a group the "greatest gig in the world."

But Foo Fighters have not been without tragedy either. Beloved drummer Taylor Hawkins died in 2002, leaving a huge hole in the band that they tried initially to fill with Josh Freese, who played with the band until he was let go in July 2025, making room to bring in former Nine Inch Nails drummer Ilan Rubin, who made his drumming debut with the band on their latest album.

Foo Fighters will head out for a stadium tour that begins on Aug. 4, 2026 at Rogers Stadium in Toronto. The North American leg of the Take Cover tour consists of 12 tour dates featuring Queens of the Stone Age, Mannequin Pussy, and Gouge Away as opening acts and will end on Sep. 26, 2026, at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

According to the Mayo Clinic, symptoms of Salmonella can include diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps, typically within 8 to 72 hours after exposure. Nausea, vomiting, chills, headache, and blood in stool can also occur. Though Salmonella typically clears up on its own, the medical center suggests that a health care provider should be contacted if the affected person is an infant, young child, older adult, or someone with a weakened immune system and their illness lasts more than a few days.

Other reasons to contact a medical provider are if the affected person falls into one of those groups and has a high fever, bloody stool, or has symptoms of dehydration like dry mouth and tongue, is urinating less than usual, or has dark-colored urine.

In 1982, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts turned a 1975 flop into a global smash hit with their cover of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll."

The original version of "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" was released in 1975 by the British band The Arrows as the B-side to their single, "Broken Down Heart." While the song received a generally positive response—prompting the band to re-release it as an A-side—it didn't gain enough momentum to secure a position on the charts.

Despite its initial failure, the song experienced a massive resurgence in the early '80s. In 1976, Jett, then a member of The Runaways, saw the Arrows perform "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" on a U.K. television program. Inspired, she recorded a cover of the track with the Sex Pistols in 1979. In 1982, she returned to the studio with the Blackhearts to record the rendition that would go on to dominate global charts.

Within two months of its release, the cover climbed up the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 1 for seven consecutive weeks. In addition to its U.S. triumph, "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" also topped the charts in Canada, Sweden and Australia, and reached No. 4 on the U.K. Singles Chart. The cover's undeniable dominance ultimately made it the No. 3 song of the year—a remarkable feat for a track that had previously failed to break into the charts.

With chart prosperity came commercial success, and "I Love Rock 'n' Roll" certainly saw strong sales. Within a year of its release, the song was certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling over 2 million units in the U.S. alone. Today, the song has sold over 4 million physical copies globally.

In 2016, Jett's cover was critically recognized, earning a spot in the Grammy Hall of Fame for its undeniable influence on the music industry.

Quick! What's the first thing that comes to mind when you think about McDonald's? Is it the iconic Big Mac with extra mac sauce or those gloriously crispy fries? Maybe it's a discontinued item, like the McSalad Shaker, or a decidedly questionable McLobster Sandwich? For me, it's that ultra crispy Sprite. You know the one. It's the most soda-tasting soda ever—like you're drinking lemon-lime-flavored TV static or battery acid—but in a good way. It's the kind of Sprite that jolts your senses awake and burns your nose hairs when you burp. And you can only get it out of the self-serve fountain at Mickey D's.

It's developed its own cult following, and more persnickety McDonald's Sprite connoisseurs would say that they can tell when it's off or watered down. Unfortunately, it looks like the days of filling our cups to our hearts' content with the crispiest, most effervescent soda around might soon be coming to an end. McDonald's has quietly started phasing out self-serve soda fountains nationwide, which means no more endless refills of crispy Sprite and no more getting a water cup only to fill it with soda. Feel free to observe a moment of silence.

Now that you've had the chance to mourn, let's look at why McDonald's made this decision in the first place. Although it feels like an abrupt end to an era, the rumor first surfaced in 2023 that Mickey D's would be removing self-serve soda machines, which was later confirmed by Today.com. The plan is to phase out all self-serve stations by 2032, leaving roughly six years before they disappear completely. According to the brand, the goal of removing the machines is to streamline operations and ensure a consistent dining experience for workers and customers. 

From a broader perspective, McDonald's is doubling down on drive-thru and mobile ordering and has also expressed plans to have servers delivering meals and drinks directly to customers' tables, virtually eliminating the need for a soda fountain. But social media isn't so sure the brand's motivations are entirely innocent. While Mikel Petro, an Illinois McDonald's operator, claims that it's a natural "evolution towards convenience and (the result of) the growth of digital service," fans believe the reason is a bit more calculated. 

"Reminder that this is because executives want to cut costs and raise the bottom line," espoused one person. "Capitalism requires continuous, unsustainable growth, which is why EVERYTHING around you sucks more and more every day."

"Just so they can charge for refills, which used to be free," theorized someone else.

Several others called it a "recession indicator" and suggested going literally anywhere else. "Thank you, McDonald's, for giving me another reason to never eat your food ever again," conceded one fan. 

It looks like this might be one of the more controversial moves Mickey D's has made in a long time. On the bright side, McDonald's has expressed a commitment to increase the quality of its menu items and even jumped on the Dirty Soda bandwagon, which might indicate that the brand has lofty expectations for what's next for the Golden Arches. So, what do you think? Are you mourning crispy Sprite and endless refills, or are you swearing off McDonald's for good?

Similar to many other classic T-shirts, this one has a basic crew neckline. However, it has a slim silhouette and fitted shoulders that give it a more polished and structured look compared to oversized tees. This top is designed to drape straight down rather than hugging your body, offering some room to breathe while maintaining its sleek appearance. 

With a blend of three different materials, this tee delivers constant comfort. Made of 55% cotton, it’s lightweight and breathable. This top promotes airflow and absorbs sweat to keep you cool, making this top ideal for the warmer months. One reviewer said that it’s “great for the spring and summer,” and described this top as “lightweight and buttery soft.” 

In addition to cotton, 38% of this tee’s fabric is made of modal, which is a durable material that gives it a soft and smooth feel. It’s also great at wicking away moisture, preventing sweat from collecting. The remaining 8% of the fabric is made of spandex, giving this top some stretch to keep you from feeling restricted.

Simple and versatile, this no-frills tee is the kind of top that you can style with virtually anything in your closet. It’ll pair well with jeans, skirts, and anything in between. You can throw it on for nearly any occasion, whether you’re running errands or grabbing a drink with some friends. 

Another shopper mentioned that this top is “so soft” and has “just the right amount of stretch.” They also raved that “it’s the perfect top for every season.” Thanks to the skimming silhouette, you can easily layer pieces over it when the temperature starts to drop, allowing you to take it from day to night. Wear it alone in the spring and summer, and throw other pieces on top of it in the fall and winter.

It seems like there's scary news about heart health everywhere. On highway billboards, in news alerts about celebrities and politicians and in warnings from your doctor. You may have another underlying condition that puts you at a higher risk of heart disease, or have a family member or friend who is recovering from a heart attack or stroke. Plus, each year, the American Heart Association puts out statistics showing that, once again, cardiovascular disease is the top killer of adults in the United States.

When it comes to preventing cardiovascular disease—or at least lowering your risk — it's crucial to focus on numbers. Some are lifestyle-related, like tracking how many grams of saturated fat you consume and increasing your weekly exercise to 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity or 150 minutes of moderate-intensity activity.

Others require a trip to the doctor or lab for bloodwork, both of which may make you nervous (and queasy). Still, one cardiologist emphasizes how important they are.

"Regular bloodwork is important if you have a known cardiovascular problem or if you are taking cholesterol medication," states Dr. Bradley Serwer, MD, an interventional cardiologist and chief medical officer at VitalSolution, an Ingenovis Health company. "It’s important to know about your risk or to determine if the medications are effective." 

It can also help you make lifestyle tweaks to support your heart health. When looking at a patient's bloodwork, Dr. Serwer checks one (OK, two) numbers first. Below, he gives us the what, the why and how to improve your numbers (and heart health).

When Dr. Serwer scans his patients' bloodwork, he first focuses on LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. It helps him inform and empower his clients to take steps toward better heart health.

"Cholesterol is a significant modifiable risk factor for the development of coronary artery disease," he says. "Understanding your cholesterol levels enables you to assess your individual risk and facilitates early intervention, potentially preventing or mitigating future complications."

Coronary artery disease (CAD) develops when there's plaque buildup in the coronary arteries that supply blood to your heart. This plaque can narrow or block the arteries, obstructing this vital blood flow.

It sounds scary, but you won't know your risk until you roll up your sleeves, get lab work done and speak with your doctor about your LDL and triglyceride numbers.

"The best way to lower your cholesterol is first to know your level and your goal," Dr. Serwer says. "This is determined by seeing your primary care providers and discussing your individual risks."

From there, you can discuss how often to get blood drawn to check your LDL and triglyceride levels.

"The timing and frequency for testing your cholesterol levels depend on your risk of having complications," Dr. Serwer explains. "If you have diabetes, known coronary artery disease or if you have family members with severely elevated levels, knowing your levels is imperative to avoid downstream complications."

LDL cholesterol gets thrown around a lot when discussing heart health, but what does it even mean? "LDL or low-density lipoprotein is commonly referred to as bad cholesterol," Dr. Serwer explains.  

He adds that LDL cholesterol can be deposited in the inner lining of your arteries. "Over time, these cholesterol deposits thicken and are walled off with calcium," he notes. "This process is called atherosclerosis. If this occurs in your coronary arteries, it can lead to chest pain or increase the risk of a heart attack."

He explains that this buildup can also occur in your neck or brain, putting you at a high risk of a stroke—and, unfortunately, the risks of elevated LDL cholesterol don't stop there.

"Sometimes, these pockets of cholesterol can rupture within the arterial wall," he says. "The body immediately attacks this rupture by forming a blood clot. This blood clot can very rapidly stop blood flow and thus cause a heart attack or stroke."

Your target number is going to depend on your risk for heart issues, including coronary artery disease. Dr. Serwer looks for an LDL of below:

• 130 mg/dl for the general, low-risk population
• 100 mg/dl for intermediate-risk patients
• 70mg/dl for high-risk patients
• 55mg/dl for very high-risk patients

"Very high risk is defined by having known coronary artery disease and diabetes, kidney disease or active smoking history," Dr. Serwer shares, adding that you'll want to speak with your doctor about your personal risk level.

"Triglycerides are fats in your blood that tell us more about your diet within the past 24 hours," Dr. Serwer says.

He explains that triglycerides are variable and will shift rapidly based on what you've eaten.

"Some people have very high levels if they are unable to clear them effectively," he reports. "High triglyceride levels can lead to acute issues such as pancreatitis." So, you'll ideally want to keep your triglyceride levels below 150mg/dL, according to Dr. Serwer and the American Heart Association.

First things first, you'll need to know your cholesterol numbers to manage them. Besides understanding your LDL and triglyceride numbers, Dr. Serwer urges people to know their HDL ("good cholesterol") levels.

"HDL levels for men are greater than 40mg/dl, and for women are greater than 50mg/dl," he states. "Any level above 60mg/dl is considered protective and helps lower your risk for coronary arterial disease."

With your numbers in hand, you can start taking steps toward managing your cholesterol—and lowering your LDL and triglyceride numbers if needed. Below, Dr. Serwer shares some of the tips he gives patients after seeing that their LDL and triglyceride numbers are too high.

• Prioritize physical activity. Your exercise minutes aren't the only number to focus on for your heart health, but it's still important to keep an eye on them. "Exercise is a great way to raise your HDL and thus lower your LDL," he explains. "When weight loss is achieved by 5-10% of your body weight, we can see a significant drop in LDL."
• Limit saturated fats. Dr. Serwer says diet is another important piece to managing cholesterol, especially if you're consuming a lot of saturated fats (found in foods like some baked goods and red and processed meats). The American Heart Association recommends limiting saturated fat intake to no more than 13 grams daily if you're following a 2,000-calorie diet.
• Boost fiber intake. Only about 5% of Americans get enough fiber. But getting enough fiber in your diet can help keep your cholesterol numbers in check. "Increasing daily fiber has shown a significant benefit," he reports. "This can be obtained from soluble fiber sources such as oats, barley and beans."
• Consider medication. Sometimes, diet and exercise aren't enough. In these cases, Dr. Serwer says it may be best to start a medication, such as a statin, ezetimibe or a PCSK9 inhibitor, to lower your cholesterol.

Your doctor is your best resource for determining which cholesterol-lowering strategies can help you.

Padma Lakshmi has spent nearly two decades shaping how America watches cooking competitions. But even she'll admit: this season, the show she built surprised her.

Ahead of her exclusive Parade cover story and the America's Culinary Cup season finale—both out May 6—the creator and host of the CBS hit reveals which Season 1 eliminations genuinely caught her off guard. "There are so many twists and turns as you go through the season that even though I was there tasting the food and part of the judging process, I certainly didn't know how my two co-judges would score," Lakshmi tells Parade in our cover story coming May 6.

In the upcoming season finale, one chef will walk away with a lot of dough. The grand prize is $1 million, the largest amount ever for a culinary competition show. Read on to discover more exclusive details from America's Culinary Cup.

The biggest twist of the season came at the show's halfway point, when the eight remaining chefs were asked to vote on which of their fellow competitors was most likely to win the competition—and who was least likely. The results made for genuinely emotional television as Beverly Kim broke down in tears after being named most likely to win, while Chris Morgan was left visibly stunned by his "least likely" vote.

Both votes left Lakshmi stunned, too. "I had tasted Chris Morgan's food, and I was surprised that he was voted the least likely to win by his fellow competitors," she tells Parade.

But the bigger shock came just one episode later, when Kim—the chef who had just been crowned by her peers as the most likely to take home the $1 million grand prize—was eliminated during the Culinary Science and Technology challenge.

"I was also very surprised that Beverly Kim went home when she did because she had been such a strong competitor and was so compelling the whole way through," Lakshmi adds.

A James Beard Award winner and former Top ChefSeason 9 contestant, Kim had dominated earlier rounds—including winning the Sustainability commandment in Week 3. But the molecular gastronomy challenge—a category leaning into co-judge Wylie Dufresne's expertise—proved to be her undoing. Meanwhile, Morgan has made it to the final four.

Part of what makes the show's eliminations feel so unpredictable is the format itself, which Lakshmi—who baked up America's Culinary Cup from scratch after 17 years onTop Chef—designed intentionally to focus purely on technique. "Each episode is different and structured, designed around one culinary commandment or principle of fine cooking," she tells Parade. "I think the biggest difference between our show and other competition shows is that we don't throw in obstacles. We give them all the weapons they need to succeed, provide them with an unparalleled kitchen with as many beautiful ingredients as they could want, and enough equipment to go around."

That format has made every elimination feel earned—but also, occasionally, genuinely shocking. With the Season 1 finale set for May 13, viewers will soon find out whether Lakshmi has any final surprises in store.

America's Culinary Cup airs Wednesday nights at 9:30 p.m. ET on CBS and streams the next day on Paramount+. The Season 1 finale airs May 13. This interview was conducted by Paulette Cohn, whose Parade exclusive cover story with Lakshmi will be released on the same day.

David Letterman isn't afraid to share his thoughts about his former network, CBS, in the wake of the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's The Late Show.

The iconic comedian, 79, who is known for his beloved shows Late Night with David Letterman and TheLate Show with David Letterman, currently hosts Netflix’s My Next Guest Needs No Introduction with David Letterman. But in a new interview with the New York Times, Letterman was asked if he believes The Late Show was canceled because of a financial decision.

Letterman responded by saying, "They don’t share the books with me. All of television seems to have been nicked by digital communication and streaming platforms and on and on. TV may be not the money machine it once was. On the other hand, what about the humanity for Stephen and the humanity of people who love him and the humanity for people who still enjoyed that 11:30 respite?"

The late-night legend continued, providing another reason why he thinks Colbert was fired.

"He was dumped because the people selling the network to Skydance said, 'Oh no, there’s not going to be any trouble with that guy. We’re going to take care of the show. We’re just going to throw that into the deal. When will the ink on the check dry?' I’m just going to go on record as saying: They’re lying. Let me just add one other thing, Jason. They’re lying weasels."

When asked about the staying power of late night, Letterman said, "We still have Jimmy (Kimmel). We still have Seth [Meyers]. It’s not completely dead on arrival, but I would be surprised if it lasts more than a year or so. But it’s such an easy soothing format that it’s got to stay on," he said, later specifying, "Well, maybe specific shows. I don’t think it’ll ever go away because it’s just the best. It’s humans talking to humans."

This recent interview wasn't the first time Letterman has gone off on his former network. Back in January, Letterman introduced the world to his new dog, but proceeded to speak out about CBS.

“By the way, what about those idiots at CBS?” Letterman said. “CBS News is a wreck – it’s just gone. CBS News, for decades, going back to [the second world war], before [it], Ed Murrow would be broadcasting the blitz of London from the rooftop of buildings in London for CBS Radio, and it was that mentality that drove the integrity of CBS News, that has been trampled on, pissed on, and eviscerated by these idiots that have taken it over.”

Bari Weiss was named the new editor-in-chief of CBS News in October.
