In 1981, one of the strangest songs ever to top the Billboard Hot 100 reached No. 1.

On June 20, 1981, the Dutch studio project Stars on 45 climbed to the top of the U.S. pop charts with a Beatles-inspired medley whose official title was so long it took up most of the record label. The song, officially titled "Medley: Intro 'Venus'/Sugar Sugar/No Reply/I'll Be Back/Drive My Car/Do You Want To Know A Secret/We Can Work It Out/I Should Have Known Better/Nowhere Man/You're Going To Lose That Girl/Stars On 45," remains the longest-titled No. 1 hit in Billboard Hot 100 history.

The recording was the brainchild of Dutch producer Jaap Eggermont, who was inspired by an underground dance-club bootleg that stitched together snippets of popular songs over a relentless disco beat. Rather than using the original Beatles recordings, Eggermont recruited singers who closely resembled the voices ofJohn Lennon, Paul McCartney and George Harrison, then blended their performances with pieces of other familiar hits, including Shocking Blue's "Venus" and The Archies' "Sugar, Sugar."

To recreate the Beatles' sound, Eggermont assembled a group of Dutch studio musicians and vocalists rather than forming a traditional band. Bas Muys handled the John Lennon vocals, while Okkie Huysdens and Hans Vermeulen supplied the Paul McCartney and George Harrison parts. Session singer Jody Pijper, whose voice appears throughout the recording's signature "Stars on 45" chorus, helped tie the medley together and became one of the key voices behind the project's unlikely success.

The result was unlike anything else on the radio in 1981. Built around a steady hand-clap rhythm and rapid-fire transitions between songs, the medley became a worldwide phenomenon. It topped charts across Europe, reached No. 2 in the United Kingdom and eventually spent a week at No. 1 in the United States, interrupting the chart dominance of Kim Carnes' "Bette Davis Eyes."

The success of Stars on 45 launched a brief but memorable medley craze. Follow-up releases featuring Motown classics, Stevie Wonder songs and more Beatles material followed, while other artists rushed to release their own medley records. The trend produced hits such as "The Beach Boys Medley" and "The Beatles Movie Medley" before fading away a few years later.

More than four decades later, the song still inspires nostalgia among listeners who remember hearing it for the first time.

"Ya the FIRST time I heard this I was 16! Now I’m 57 and I STILL LOVE THIS MEDLEY! ❤️❤️❤️," wrote one fan on YouTube.

Another commented, "omfg!!!! I haven't heard this since 1981. Back then it was played ALL the time. Thank you!"

"One of my favorites in the early 80's! ❤️," wrote a third fan.

While Stars on 45 is often remembered as a novelty act, its biggest hit accomplished something few novelty records ever do: it became a genuine worldwide pop phenomenon and earned a permanent place in Billboard history.

Dopamine decor is definitely the moment. Just take a scroll through TikTok, and you'll see tons of videos dedicated to the happy interior design style. If you're unfamiliar with what dopamine decor is exactly, think about it like this: Is it bright and cheery? Is it maybe a little frivolous, but does it make you happy? Does it border on the maximalism trend? If you answered "yes" to any of those questions, then it's probably a piece of dopamine decor. The real point of dopamine decor, though, is that it brings you joy. You don't have to explain it to anyone else. It really only has to make sense to you.

Of course, vibrant colors make pretty much everyone happy, and so does some cozy mood lighting. Combine these two elements with Five Below's fun and quirky new cordless lamp. It's just too cute!

The news of legendary director James Burrows' death at 85 has shaken everyone he's worked with over the years. Burrows directed episodes from some of the most iconic and memorable shows, like Taxi, Cheers, Frasier, Will & Grace, and Friends. When it came to Friends, Burrows wrote in his memoir that he knew the show would be a hit, and that he "didn't have time to direct it," but he "had to direct it."

Tributes From the 'Friends' Cast

In separate Instagram posts and stories, Friends' stars Matt LeBlanc, David Schwimmer, and Lisa Kudrow shared heartfelt tributes to Burrows, emotionally expressing how much of an impact he had on them.

"Jimmy , words cannot describe the impact and influence you had on us and everyone who was lucky enough to have known you," LeBlanc captioned photos of him with Burrows and of him, Burrows, and Schwimmer. "You sir are a true icon on so many levels. Well wishes in your next act. You will be missed. God Bless."

View this post on Instagram A Father Figure On and Off Camera

Schwimmer reposted LeBlanc's photo, along with one of just him and Burrows. He wrote about how Burrows "brought out the best in every actor he ever worked with, and elevated every show he directed, making it funnier and more moving than anyone expected."

View this post on Instagram

"His warmth, humility and generosity made us feel safe, like family, and I’m sure we weren’t the only cast to feel that way," he continued. "He looked out for us, on camera and off."

He explained that Burrows was a father figure to him and many others. "Loving, wise, encouraging, challenging, instructive, patient, inspiring, playful—and on my best days, I’d like to think, even proud," he wrote.

Burrows’ Final Warning on AI

Kudrow took the "a picture is worth a thousand words" stance in an Instagram story, showing her and Burrows smiling together on the set of The Comeback. While the two are standing in front of a director's chair bearing his name, Burrows also played a role in the meta-comedy.

During the third season, which premiered in May, Burrows made his final on-screen appearance, delivering a passionate speech about the dangers of AI. In an interview, he said that he believes what his character said as well.

"You can't write a show from the heart when you have no heart," he told IndieWire. "That's what I feel. Unfortunately, I think that the world is going that way."

A fan-favorite TV show is returning to television after 16 years off the air.

Beloved Britishsitcom Last of the Summer Wine originally ran for over 37 years on the BBC, airing 295 episodes across 31 seasons. Written by comedy writer Sir Roy Clarke, the show starred Peter Sallis, Bill Owen, and Michael Aldridge as three eccentric elderly men who like to stay young by exploring their surroundings and getting up to mischief in the Yorkshire Dales.

Often called a "national institution," the series continues to hold the record for the longest-running sitcom in history, and Clarke wrote all of the episodes, which according to reports, is a rarity in TV. The sitcom holds a rating of 7.1 out of ten on IMDb and frequently receives favorable reviews from viewers and critics.

Fans of the show can head to Holmfirth, located just under 400 miles of London, to immerse themselves in guided tours and exhibitions throughout the quaint town where it was set. In honor of Last of the Summer Wine's final episode, which aired on Aug. 29, 2010, dedicated fans ventured to Holmfirth to bid farewell the much-loved series.

"It's sad to see it go," a fan, who traveled from Dorset, told theBBC at the time. "It was funny without being crude."

Her husband agreed: "There was no bad language, so the whole family could watch. It's the end of an era."

Now, after a 16-year hiatus, Last of the Summer Wine is set to make a triumphant return as part of a new special.

Airing on premium British TV station U&Gold, a spin-off titled The Last Drop of Summer Wine will pay tribute to Clarke's creation.

Actor and comedian Brian Conley, who appeared as a guest star on Last of the Summer Wine, will revisit the filming locations from the show, speaking with families of cast members, residents, and friends of the original show.

The Last Drop of Summer Wine will also get an exclusive look at unseen photos, scripts, and scrapbooks from Clarke's personal archive.

Production has begun and the show is set to air in 2027.

Iconic actress Joan Cusack is opening up about the role she says means more to her than anything else in her career. In a new interview with ABC's 20/20, Cusack shared just how special her role in the Toy Story franchise has been.

"It's been the most important thing I've done in my whole life," she said. "That's what kids watch. So to do something like that where you're contributing to their world was fun to think about."

@abc2020

Joan Cusack says Jessie is her ‘most important’ career role, while discussing in a special "20/20" about the impact of portraying the cowgirl beloved by generations of kids. “Toy Story 30 Years and Beyond – A Special Edition of 20/20” explores the wildly successful 'Toy Story' franchise and looks ahead at the new 'Toy Story 5' film.

Cusack joined the franchise to voice Jessie the cowgirl toy in Toy Story 2, which was released in 1999. She's been in each of the sequels since, including Toy Story 5, which hit theaters on June 19.

Over the years, Jessie has become one of the most beloved characters in the Toy Story universe, known for her emotional backstory and standout moments in the series. Cusack’s performance helped shape the character’s identity across generations of viewers, with many fans crediting her voice work as a key part of the franchise’s lasting appeal.

Fans were delighted to hear Cusack speak about the film and her role, and many commented on a video of the interview, which was shared on TikTok.

"Words cannot explain how much I adore Joan Cusack," one person wrote.

"Joan is a treasure," someone else said.

"I adore her. Loved her in the 80’s& 90’s movies. Love love LOVE her in Toy Story," a third comment read.

Cusack attended the London premiere of Toy Story 5 last month, making her first red carpet appearance in more than a decade. The actress has largely stepped away from Hollywood to start a life in Chicago with her family.

It's clear that even years later, Cusack’s portrayal of Jessie remains a fan favorite, with audiences still celebrating the heart she brought to the iconic character.

Social media rumors spread like wildfire after podcaster Lilly Gaddis tweeted about Candace Owens' death.

"Candace Owen's family reached out to me earlier this morning, it is with deep sadness and sorrow that I am sharing the passing of my long time friend and fellow political commentator, Candace," the since-deleted tweet read. "But I also can't shake the feeling that this wasn't simply a random tragedy. There are circumstances surrounding Candace's death, especially after Charlie's [Kirk] passing, that raise serious questions, and I hope the full truth comes to light."

She added, "I want to respect the family's privacy so I will refrain from sharing any further details. Please stay posted."

Is Candace Owens Alive?

The political podcaster is alive and well, according to a tweet shared by her verified account.

"Thank you all for the messages of concern but I am not dead," she wrote on Saturday, June 20. "If I were, it would be entirely appropriate for you to have blamed Israel," she added with a shrugging emoji.

"Somewhat related, Charlie Kirk was not concerned he was going to be killed by a transgendered furry after a full day of arguing with Zionists about him abandoning the pro-Israel cause. Hope this helps."

Thank you all for the messages of concern but I am not dead.

Shortly before Candace's response, Gaddis claimed that her account ha been hacked.

"Working to fix it," she shared, adding that only two people have access to her account.

"This morning I woke up with dozens of people texting me about the insane Candace Owens tweet, and prior to that there was a post about some event that I was 'announcing my participation' in that I also did not post," she wrote, claiming that a man who helped her with "YouTube thumbnails" was likely responsible. "I have changed all my information so hopefully he will not be able to do this again in the future. Of course I can't prove it's him so I'll say this is all alleged."

Some of us might still have binders full of Pokémon cards from back in the day. Or maybe our kids do. If the collectibles are finally out of the house, that might mean they're being sold.

Spanning trading cards, sealed video games, comic books, vintage toys and entertainment memorabilia, the auction showcased the continued strength of the pop culture collectibles market, with numerous record-setting results and six-figure sales across multiple categories.

The auction’s results highlight sustained demand for premier pop culture collectibles across Pokémon, comics, video games, toys, and entertainment memorabilia. From record-setting Pokémon cards and sealed Nintendo games to landmark Marvel comic books and iconic collectibles tied to beloved franchises, the sale underscores Goldin’s position as the premier destination for high-end pop culture collectibles.

Goldin has other auctions currently underway, such as the 2026 YouTubers Exclusive Auction, open through June 24; the Spring Goldin 100 auction, open through June 28; the USA 250th Anniversary Historical Auction, open through July 8.

2019 movie Yesterday is getting a stage adaptation in London's West End.

The Danny Boyle movie starred Himesh Patel and Lily James and imagine a world where no one remembers The Beatles. After a road accident, a musician wakes up in a world where The Beatles never found fame, and no one knew their music.

Hoping to accelerate his own career, he pretends that he wrote The Beatles' music and passes off Lennon and McCartney's work as his own. The song is full of recreations of the Fab Four's best moments as the singer tries to recollect all the songs and lyrics. In one hilarious moment, Ed Sheeran (playing himself) recommends renaming 'Hey Jude' to 'Hey Dude'.

What's on Stage reported this week that a casting notice issued by Nick Hockaday (one of the award-winning team behind Paddington The Musical) says the production will be directed by Danny Boyle, written by Richard Curtis and Emma Freud (who penned the original film), and produced by Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner.

The last time Boyle directed for the stage, it was 15 years ago when he worked on the National Theatre production of Frankenstein.

Further details about the stage adaptation, including dates and venues, have not yet been announced. The casting call states that they are looking for a male performer aged between 25 and 35 to play the leading role. The company is seeking a strong singer who is also skilled at both guitar and piano.

It's expected to have the same The Beatles songs as the film, which include 'Let It Be', 'A Day in the Life' and 'I Saw Her Standing There.'

This isn't the first stage show to feature the iconic British band's music. Let It Be celebrated the Liverpool band’s music without spoken dialogue. It features over 40 Fab Four songs and follows their timeline from the Cavern Club to Beatlemania and their final show together.

The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil wowed audiences for over two decades at the Mirage in Las Vegas, using the band's music for their acrobatic and visual arts show.

Few jewelry pieces are as timeless as a pair of diamond stud earrings. They’re an absolute staple, simple enough for everyday, but polished enough to pull together a more dressed-up look. From workwear and special occasion dresses to a simple jeans-and-T-shirt combo, they just work. The only downside is the price tag that usually comes with them. 

Not everyone has diamond money sitting around, which is what makes Swarovski such a smart alternative. Known for its precision-cut crystals that mimic the brilliance of fine jewelry, Swarovski delivers that same classic, light-catching look at a more approachable price point. Right now, the brand’s Constella Pierced Stud Earrings are on sale for $54 at Amazon, marked down 46% from their original $99 price tag ahead of Prime Day, making it the perfect time to finally add a pair to your rotation.

Designed in a classic stud silhouette, these earrings feature precision-cut cubic zirconia crystals that catch the light with every turn, giving off that bright, diamond-like sparkle. Each stone measures about 0.25 inches in length and width, which shoppers say is the “perfect size” as they're noticeable enough to elevate a look but still subtle enough to wear with anything. The clean, four double-prong setting keeps the focus on the stone itself, while the choice of rose gold-tone, yellow gold-tone, or silver-tone finishes makes it easy to match your personal style.

They’re finished with a simple push-back closure that keeps them secure, and the lightweight design means they never feel heavy or distracting. To keep these earrings looking their best, avoid contact with water, lotions, and perfumes, and give them an occasional polish with a soft, lint-free cloth.

Jewelry lovers adore Swarovski, and this “stunning,” “sparkly,” and “brilliant” set is no different. Many say they’re “perfect for casual and fancy” occasions, calling them “versatile” and “lovely” with all outfits. One shopper even went as far as to say, “Who needs $2,000 earrings when you can get a nice pair like these?”

Staying hydrated used to mean grabbing a sports drink from the gas station cooler and calling it a day. If you were lucky, maybe it was cold. If you were really lucky, it wasn't the mysterious neon color that stained your tongue for the next six hours.

Fast forward to today, and electrolyte powders have become a full-fledged category of their own. They're tucked into gym bags, desk drawers, carry-ons, diaper bags, bachelorette party bags, and just about every influencer's kitchen cabinet. Somewhere along the way, we collectively decided that hydration deserved a multi-level upgrade.

Electrolyte powders might be trending but they aren't just trendy. Many people use them to help replenish minerals lost through exercise, travel, hot weather, illness, or simply those days when drinking enough water feels like a part-time job. And while athletes have relied on electrolytes for decades, these convenient packets have expanded far beyond the locker room. Now there are options designed for endurance athletes, busy parents, frequent travelers, keto followers, and even people looking for a little afternoon energy boost.

The challenge? There are a lot of choices. Some are packed with sodium, while others keep it minimal. Some taste like fresh-squeezed fruit, while others veer dangerously close to being unpalatable. Some include added vitamins, caffeine, or adaptogens, while others focus strictly on hydration.

To find the best of the bunch, I rounded up some of the most popular electrolyte powders on the market and invited my friend and registered dietitian, Tory Stroker, to help me taste and evaluate them. Together, we compared flavor, ingredients, hydration benefits, and overall drinkability to determine which ones are actually worth adding to your daily routine.

What are Electrolyte Powders and The Benefits?

Jeanette Donnarumma

Electrolyte powders are drink mixes designed to help replenish essential minerals that your body loses through sweat, exercise, heat exposure, travel, illness, and everyday activities.

"When we sweat, we're not just losing water, we're also losing important electrolytes that help our bodies function well," says registered dietitian Tory Stroker. "These minerals play critical roles throughout the body, from supporting muscle contractions and nerve function to helping regulate fluid balance. Electrolyte powders can help replenish what you've lost and restore balance, allowing your body to return to homeostasis."

While they're often associated with athletes, electrolyte powders can also be beneficial during hot weather, after long flights, when recovering from stomach bugs, or anytime you're experiencing increased fluid loss and need extra hydration support. Today's formulas range from simple electrolyte blends to more complex products that include vitamins, minerals, caffeine, amino acids, and other functional ingredients. Some are designed specifically for sports recovery, while others are marketed for travel, daily hydration, energy support, or low-sugar lifestyles.

How I Chose These Electrolyte Powders

Jeanette Donnarumma

I rounded up a mix of electrolyte powders that were already sitting in my pantry, others that seemed to follow me around the internet through targeted ads (apparently I give off dehydrated energy), and several popular brands that friends consistently rave about. I wanted a mix of everyday options, athlete-focused formulas, sugar-free choices, and products available at a variety of price points.

How I Tested and Ranked the Electrolyte Powders

To help me evaluate the powders, Tory was my first call. We often chat about what supplements we need versus don't need, and I find her approach of "well, does it make you feel good" so calming versus a "you must do all this" mentality. Since hydration products are something we regularly compare notes on, this felt like the perfect excuse to spend an afternoon tasting our way through the category. We mixed each powder according to package directions and evaluated flavor, sweetness, drinkability, ingredient quality, and overall value before assigning our final rankings.

What To Look for When Buying Electrolyte Powders

Not all electrolyte powders are created equal, and the best choice depends on your individual hydration needs, activity level, and health goals. According to Stroker, it's important to be a critical consumer and look beyond the marketing claims on the front of the package. "Pay attention to the electrolyte content, particularly sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium, and consider whether the formula includes added ingredients such as sugar, vitamins, minerals, caffeine, or amino acids," she explains. While sugar often gets a bad reputation, Tory notes that it can actually help with hydration and electrolyte absorption when you're actively sweating or dehydrated. Taste is also an important factor; if you don't enjoy drinking it, you're unlikely to use it consistently. Finally, be mindful of how electrolyte powders fit into your overall supplement routine. Some formulas contain very high levels of certain vitamins and minerals, and more isn't always better. If you're pregnant, taking medications, managing a health condition, or regularly relying on electrolyte products, it's worth discussing them with your healthcare provider to ensure they're a good fit for your needs.

Electrolyte Powders, Ranked and Reviewed

Here's how they stacked up!

1. Best Electrolyte Powder Overall: LMNT Recharge ($45 for 30 packets)

Jeanette Donnarumma

LMNT quickly became the benchmark against which we compared every other powder. The Citrus Salt flavor wasn't overly sweet, dissolved beautifully, and delivered a salty profile that actually tasted purposeful rather than overwhelming. Tory described it as having "Gatorade vibes," while I thought it tasted a bit like a margarita...in the best possible way. Even though stevia appears on the ingredient list, neither of us noticed a strong stevia aftertaste. We also appreciated the variety pack option, which makes it easy to sample multiple flavors. By the end of the tasting, we completely understood why this brand has such a devoted following. It was easily our favorite and the clear winner of the group.

2. Best-Tasting Electrolyte Powder: Quince ($20 for 30 packets)

Jeanette Donnarumma

Quince was one of the biggest surprises of the tasting. We were initially drawn to the chic packaging, but the flavor is what ultimately won us over. It delivered a salt-forward profile similar to LMNT, making it feel like a true hydration product rather than flavored water. Unlike some of the sweeter options, it struck a nice balance and was genuinely enjoyable to drink. It also contains sugar, which Tory noted can be beneficial in certain situations when you're actively trying to replenish fluids and electrolytes, as well as drinkability. We both enjoyed the powders that had sugar in them over stevia. Both of us agreed we'd happily purchase this one again.

3. Best Electrolyte Powder for Athletes: BodyArmor Flash I.V. ($6-7 for 6 packets)

Jeanette Donnarumma

BodyArmor Flash I.V. is clearly designed with active individuals in mind, offering a hydration-focused formula intended to replenish electrolytes after exercise or heavy sweating. The Fruit Punch flavor and the stevia aftertaste wasn't a big hit with either of us, but we see the appeal for athletes looking for performance-focused hydration.

4. Best Electrolyte Powder for Wellness Enthusiasts: Wellmade (Thrive Market- $17 per bag)

Jeanette Donnarumma

Wellmade feels like it was designed for the person who already has a wellness routine and wants an electrolyte powder that fits seamlessly into it. The formula contains six electrolytes, no sugar, and no synthetic sweeteners, while still delivering a pleasant flavor and easy mixability. What stood out most was the value, at less than $17 for 58 servings, it was one of the most affordable cost-per-serving options we tested. Bonus points for sustainability, it was the only one we tried in a bag and not in individual sticks. For Thrive Market shoppers looking to add a hydration supplement to their pantry without spending LMNT-level prices, Wellmade is a solid pick.

5. Best Electrolyte Powder for Added Energy: Matcha.com Hydrate + Energize ($110 for 30 servings)

Jeanette Donnarumma

Unlike traditional electrolyte powders, Matcha.com combines hydration with caffeine, amino acids, and even a gram of protein. Marketed as a pre-workout product, it's designed for people looking to tackle hydration and energy in a single drink. Flavor-wise, however, it left us wanting more. Despite lemon notes on the packaging, neither of us picked up much citrus flavor. Instead, it reminded us of muddy water with very little sweetness or saltiness. While it wasn't a standout in the taste department, it earns points for offering a unique combination of hydration and energy support. Also important to note, this was the most expensive of all the ones we tasted, most likely due to the good quality matcha in each packet.

6. Best Low-Sodium Electrolyte Powder: Ultima Replenisher ($30 for 30 servings)

Jeanette Donnarumma

If you're looking for an electrolyte powder that doesn't have the bold, salty profile found in many hydration products, Ultima Replenisher may be worth considering. Compared to some of the other powders we tested, it had very little salt flavor, making it one of the gentler options in the lineup. The drink itself mixed into a beautiful color, but unfortunately that's where our praise ended. Both Tory and I found the stevia flavor impossible to ignore. The sweetness lingered long after each sip, creating an aftertaste that neither of us enjoyed. While low-sodium shoppers may appreciate the formula, we found the overall drinking experience disappointing.

7. Best Electrolyte Powder for Travel: GoHydrate ($29.99 for 30 packets)

Jeanette Donnarumma

The individually packaged sticks in a variety of flavors make GoHydrate a great option to take on the road, slipped into a carry-on, gym bag, purse, or even a desk drawer for hydration on the go. The single-serve format takes the guesswork out of measuring and makes it especially appealing for travel days when packing light is a priority.

While we loved the portability, the flavor wasn't our favorite of the bunch. The cherry variety had a distinctly medicinal quality that reminded us of liquid cherry cough syrup, which overpowered the refreshing experience we look for in an electrolyte drink. That said, if convenience is your top priority, GoHydrate's grab-and-go packaging makes it a practical option to keep on hand for busy days and trips.

8. Best Budget Electrolyte Powder: PurAqua Hydration (Aldi) ($3-$5 for 10 packets)

Jeanette Donnarumma

PurAqua ended up being one of the biggest surprises of the entire tasting. It was light, easy to drink, and didn't overwhelm us with sweetness. In fact, it reminded both of us of a classic sports drink, making it incredibly approachable. The first ingredient is sugar, which likely contributes to its balanced flavor and drinkability. It also functions more like a hydration-plus-vitamin beverage than a hardcore electrolyte supplement. For the price, it's an excellent value and one we'd happily keep on hand.

9. Most Disappointing Electrolyte Powder: Designs for Health ElectroPure Hydration ($31.49 for 14 servings)

Jeanette Donnarumma

While we appreciated the fresh clementine aroma and ambitious ingredient list, this was the powder we struggled with the most. Between the poor solubility, unpleasant flavor, and extremely high vitamin C content, it never quite found its footing. It served as a good reminder of one of Tory's biggest takeaways from our test: more ingredients aren't always better, and it's important to be a critical consumer when evaluating supplements.

10. Best Electrolyte Powder for Clean Ingredients: OATH Peach ($19.99 for 16 sticks)

Jeanette Donnarumma

OATH's Peach flavor stood out for its clean ingredients, uncomplicated taste and simple, everyday-drinkability. Rather than relying on intense sweetness or a heavy dose of salt, it offered a light, refreshing flavor that felt closer to naturally flavored water than a traditional sports drink. The ingredient-forward approach made it feel like a hydration product you could comfortably sip throughout the day, not just after a workout. The peach flavor was crisp and refreshing without being overpowering, making this one of the easiest options in the lineup to imagine keeping stocked as part of a daily wellness routine.

After tasting our way through this lineup, one thing became clear: the best electrolyte powder isn't necessarily the one with the most ingredients or the boldest marketing claims, it's the one you'll actually want to drink consistently. Whether you're looking for a heavy-duty hydration boost after a tough workout, a clean everyday option, or a travel-friendly packet to keep in your bag, there's no shortage of choices on the market. Our overall winner, LMNT, impressed us with its balance of flavor, formulation, and effectiveness, but several other brands earned top marks for specific needs. At the end of the day, the right electrolyte powder comes down to your lifestyle, taste preferences, and hydration goals.

Simone Biles is speaking out.

The Olympian has responded to some people who are criticizing her for taking a vacation to Belize with her husband, Jonathan Owens, a little more than one week after she suffered a "serious medical emergency" that nearly killed her.

Biles received comments on a recent Instagram post questioning why she was traveling and sharing selfies so soon after the health scare. While she has not yet shared details about what happened, Biles did reply directly to several of the comments on her post.

"Almost died but look at these traveling selfies," one fan wrote, adding three crying with laughter emoji.

"Ugh these comments make me sad. a little over two weeks ago, I experienced a serious medical emergency that could have ended very differently, and this trip has been part of allowing myself to heal & appreciate being here," Biles replied. "I hope you understand that life changing experiences can shift your perspective. & that you’re able to extend a little more grace to others moving forward. Have a nice day!"

"Almost died but on vacation drinking??" someone else questioned.

"I don’t owe you anything but have you ever heard of non alcoholic drinks," Biles responded.

"You look good for someone who almost died. lol," a third comment read.

"2 weeks bedrest," Biles said.

The messages come after the gymnast shared a personal update with her fans.

"I’m not one to normally share things like this because I value privacy in today’s age, but almost dying wasn’t on my bingo card this week,” she wrote on Instagram on June 6. “This was one of, if not the, scariest experience of my life, especially since Jonathan was in Indy for practices. I’ve been in bed resting this week,” she continued, adding, “I’ll explain sooner or later..."

Biles, 29, has received a lot of support from fans on social media, many of whom are just happy to see that she's feeling better following her health issues.

For the past three decades, Randy Newman has been making us weep with his Toy Story soundtrack. His score has been synonymous with our favorite toys since we first met Woody and Buzz in 1995.

He spoke to PEOPLE about his inspiration and how the acclaimed 82-year-old composer writes from the perspective of pull-string cowboys and an intergalactic space ranger.

“I mean, I'll occasionally say something that resonates to me personally,” Newman said. “Novelists try to write themselves out of what they do. Songwriters are supposed to put themselves in what they do. The public likes them best when that happens.”

The working relationship started when you wrote "You've Got a Friend in Me" for the first Toy Story. From there, he created a lifelong relationship with Pixar and has worked on 10 films with the studio.

"They told me they wanted it to be about their friendship and almost nothing else. That was really the prime importance to them, that that was emphasized," he said about the iconic song, which he said came to him quickly.

So what keeps Newman coming back to Pixar after so many years and movies, well, it's as simple as they do "good work."

"It's been a privilege to be connected with it. And I believe, to a degree, I've helped them do what they've done in Monsters and Cars 3 and [Cars] 1 and Toy Story," he admitted, looking back at his success with Pixar.

He added, "You do more looking back now, with the streaming and all. You hear what you did. I never used to listen to what I did six weeks later, but I do now. And all those pictures were pretty good, the scores I did. And they're difficult jobs, not as difficult as Hook was for Johnny [Williams], but difficult jobs."

Three decades later, what does Randy Newman want the legacy of the Toy Story scores to be? Well, firstly, "good" but ultimately he wants his work to enhance the movie.

"But if it makes the picture work better, as hopefully that's what I try to do every time — everything I did, tried to do that — that's enough. If that scene worked with Andy and Bonnie trading toys and stuff [in Toy Story 3], when I saw it with the crowd, it really worked that scene. I was moved by it and so were they."

Some commercial succesful songs have films to thank, with Racing Cars' "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" inspired by a 1969 film of the same name. Many believe the song was part of the film's soundtrack and became the band's only major hit.

The pop-rock band formed in Wales in 1973 and released their debut album Downtown Tonight in 1976. One of their songs was "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" that landed them high on the UK Singles Chart and was a commercial success. It was inspired by the 1969 psychological drama film of the same name directed by Sydney Pollack.

Based on Horace McCoy's 1935 novel, the film starred Jane Fonda, Michael Sarrazin, Susannah York, Gig Young, Bonnie Bedelia, and Red Buttons. It follows a group of characters during the Depression who become obsessed with winning a dance competition for a cash prize, no matter the consequences. The film became a box office success and among critics.

They Shoot Horses, Don't They? recieved nine Oscar nominations at the 42nd Academy Awards, with Young winning for Best Supporting Actor. Up until 2025, the film held the record for the most nominations in history without winning Best Picture. The film's soundtrack was filled with classics from the '20s and '30s, with many believing the Racing Cars song was included due to its name.

According to SongFacts, Racing Cars keyboardist Simon Davies told Mojo magazine in 2011 that it, "was the perfect pop song at three minutes 45 seconds. The chorus had the perfect hook and I'm sure the success of the film helped tremendously. Even now, when it has airplay, presenters still associate it with the film and claim it was on the soundtrack - it never was."

"They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" was Racing Cars' only big hit of their careers, and a track they never saw being successful. Guitarist Graham Williams revealed it was a "throwaway" song on their album until their manager and record company believed differently. He claims that their manager walked into rehearsals and told them to create a track fans could sing along to.

Racing Cars didn't achieve the same success with their other tracks, but were well-known among concert goers enough to release two more albums.

Jason Priestley will always be known to the world as Brandon Walsh on Beverly Hills, 90210. But the Canadian actor's favorite role is devoted dad.

Priestley, 56, rose to stardom alongside Shannen Doherty and Luke Perry on the classic '90s drama, which followed the lives and loves of a group of teenagers at West Beverly High. While the series ended after a decade in 2000, 90210 continues to hold an important place in pop culture history. But for Priestley, growing up meant becoming a devoted husband and father, so it's great to see the star standing alongside his gorgeous family as he receives a major award in his native country.

"Honoured and humbled to receive the Canadian Award of Distinction at the Banff World Media Festival," Priestley captioned his new photo set, which showed him standing on stage holding the statue. "Thank you to everyone who made this award happen!"

Move to the second slide to see Priestley standing alongside his wife, Naomi, and his beautiful children, Ava, 18, and Dashiell, 16.

Matty Matheson is a professional chef who many people know from the award-winning show, The Bear, where he plays Neil Fak. On June 15, he attended FX's The Bear Final Family Meal event to promote the final season of the show. While there, he spoke with PEOPLEand revealed the food trend that he wants everyone to embrace this summer.

“The trend that needs to be anything is going to restaurants, eating in restaurants,” he said, referring to recent reports that people have been dining out less due to rising prices. “Also, here's a sick new trend. Put your phone in your pocket. Keep your phone in your pocket. Relax, enjoy each other. Also, go to restaurants that support farmers, fisher folk and ranchers.”

Of course, Matheson also encourages people to create their own dishes at home as well. He has several cookbooks aimed at home chefs, including Matty Matheson: Soups, Salads, Sandwiches, which was released in 2024.

When asked about the inspiration behind the book, he told Elle Gourmet, “Cookbooks have turned into these things where, like, titles have turned into sentences. I don’t know. I want to keep mine very simple. I was probably making fun of [contemporary] cookbooks on one of my rants and was just like, ‘I should do a book about soups, salads and sandwiches.’ Then I was like, ‘I should definitely do that. That sounds good.’ Soups, salads and sandwiches are iconic—it’s what people eat, genuinely. And I was able [to create recipes that reflect] the way I make food, and that makes [the book] somewhat original.”

Matheson continued to explain that he wants his recipes to be easy for anyone to replicate at home. “I’m not trying to get chefs to cook—they already cook,” he said. “I want people at home to be able to cook and share meals with their loved ones. I often say, even in my videos, that [my recipes] are sparks—I’m just giving you ideas. If you know how to cook, you can read a recipe and understand the gist of it. Then if you want to add something, [you can do that].”

Matheson also wrote Matty Matheson: Home Style Cookery, which is meant to help home cooks improve their culinary skills and build confidence in the kitchen, and Matty Matheson: A Cookbook, which focuses on dishes that shaped his childhood and early career in the cooking industry.

Alix Earle had been very clear about what she wanted next. In an April YouTube video, the influencer and Dancing with the Stars runner-up told her audience she had a type in mind after her split from NFL player Braxton Berrios, specifically, a musician. 'I wanna date a rock star so bad,' she said on the video, which quickly circulated among fans. 'It's my dream. That's literally my dream.' She added that she and her friends wanted to be 'rockstar groupies.' Four months later, the internet is putting those quotes to work.

On Thursday night, June 18, Earle was photographed leaving Craig's restaurant in West Hollywood alongside Grammy-nominated singer Benson Boone, and he opened the passenger-side car door for her before they drove off together. Neither has confirmed they're dating. When a TMZ photographer asked Boone point-blank outside the restaurant, the 'Beautiful Things' artist gave a flat 'uh, no,' and clarified they were 'just hanging out.' Earle said nothing and kept walking.

The evening has fed considerable speculation. TMZ had already reported that Boone personally tapped Earle to appear in his upcoming music video for 'The Time of My Life,' due June 26, in what sources describe as a significant role. Earlier this week, Earle posted a TikTok of herself lip-syncing to the unreleased track while dancing on a yacht. Boone later recreated the clip himself, wearing a similar black lace dress, a moment fans immediately read as a flirty echo.

Both are single. Boone and his girlfriend Maggie Thurmon split in September 2025 after about a year together, with the singer delivering an emotional concert speech about people leaving that visibly moved him to tears. Earle spent the early months of 2026 fielding questions about a rumored connection with retired quarterback Tom Brady after they were spotted together in St. Barths on New Year's Eve, a chapter she never formally confirmed or closed.

The two first met at the American Music Awards last year. Fans have tracked their growing online interaction since, including Boone appearing to feature an Earle Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue in a TikTok. Their Thursday night appearance at Craig's, a celebrity hotspot routinely covered by photographers, sent social media into a low-grade frenzy. One detail that didn't escape notice: a photographer asked Earle whether she'd be attending Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's rumored July 3 wedding celebration at Madison Square Garden as Boone's plus-one. Sources have reported Boone is expected to attend. Earle declined to answer.

Whether the dinner was a date, a work meeting, or something still taking shape, the timing of Earle's YouTube declaration and the image of Boone holding open a car door has given fans a story that they're likely already writing themselves.

Rogers Has a Stunning Daughter

Back in January, Rogers appeared at the Sundance Film Festival with her daughter, who’s a dead ringer for her brunette beauty mother. Rogers was there to promote her new film, Night Nurse. Directed by Georgia Bernstein, the film also stars Cemre Paksoy, Bruce McKenzie, and Eleonore Hendricks. 

“As a series of perverse scam calls unsettles an idyllic retirement community, a starry-eyed nurse becomes entangled with her mysterious patient,” a synopsis describes the plot.

Dressed in denim and smiling alongside her stunning daughter, Rogers stepped into her 70th year looking better than ever. As for Rogers-Ciaffa’s good looks, it’s safe to say that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree!

The Night Nurse Trailer Looks Wild

Earlier this month, Variety announced that Independent Film Company (formerly known as IFC Films) had acquired the U.S. and Canadian rights to Night Nurse. It's set for a July 10 release date.

Check out the trailer for the thriller below:

What Else is Mimi Rogers Starring In?

Rogers also recently appeared in Adult Children, a coming-of-age dramedy starring Breaking Bad star Betsy Brandt, Aya Cash, Ella Rubin, and Thomas Sadoski.

“The film follows Morgan, a sheltered 17-year-old struggling to define who she is, in order to write her college entrance essay. When a crisis provides her the rare opportunity to spend time with her significantly older half-siblings, she hopes they’ll be able to shed some light on what it means to be an adult, only to be disappointed when she discovers they’re all faking it,” Deadline described the film.

Changes have been made to Nancy Guthrie's personal Facebook account more than four months after she went missing.

Guthrie, 84, had been active on the social networking site in the days leading up to her disappearance. Her account has been visible and much of the information on it was public, including her posts, friends lists, photos, and more.

In a recent update, however, Guthrie's friends list has been made private. Her account currently shows that she has 372 friends, but none of them are visible. Her personal details are also set to private, with the account now only showing her as “female” without any other public-facing information.

The privacy settings appear to have been changed by someone with access to the account, though it is unclear who made the update.

This isn't the first time that a change was made to Guthrie's Facebook account, either. In mid-February, just weeks after Guthrie vanished, the comments on Guthrie's posts were turned off.

Guthrie's Facebook account is still up on the platform, though it's unclear whether or not her family will keep the account active.

Authorities say that the 84-year-old was abducted from her Arizona home in the middle of the night. Investigators have continued working the case, sifting through tips and evidence in hopes of finding out what happened to Mrs. Guthrie.

The Pima County Sheriff's Office has not shared any public updates on the case in weeks. However, a volunteer group in Mexico said they received an anonymous tip that Guthrie was buried in an unmarked grave near the U.S.-Mexico border and have conducted extensive searches in recent weeks.

Anyone with information about her whereabouts or what might have happened to her is asked to call Tucson’s 88-Crime hotline at 1-520-882-7463 or the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

When performing in Spain on June 18, Katy Perry shaded two of her exes while on stage. It happened during a performance of “Never Really Over,” her pop hit from 2020, at the O Son do Camiño music festival.

During the performance, she was dancing in front of a giant iPhone as fake calls appeared on the screen. At the same time, she sang the lyrics, "Thought we kissed goodbye, thought we meant this time was the last, but I guess it's never really over.”

When JM appeared on screen along with a guitar emoji, referencing her ex John Mayer, she wouldn't answer the call. She declined another that came in from OB with a spade emoji to represent her ex-fiancé and the father of her daughter, Daisy Dove, Orlando Bloom.

Finally, JPJT appeared on screen to represent her current partner, Justin Pierre James Trudeau, with a Canadian flag emoji. This time, she pressed the green button to answer the call.

Fans captured the moment on video. Although some people on Reddit thought that the performance was "hilarious," others weren't thrilled with the move. One person said, “What a weird thing to perform. How many people thought this was a good idea? Seems more like she’s still obsessed with all of them.”

When Perry and Bloom initially broke up, their reps told E! News, "Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry’s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is—and always will be—raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect."

Perry has been publicly dating Trudeau since 2025. When speaking about him with E! Newsearlier this month, she said, “I met the love of my life, and so I felt very anchored by that because I’m a little bit like a rainbow kite. I fly super high and like, you know, touch the veil, cosmos, and sometimes I need to be anchored. So, to have that anchor finally makes me feel really whole now.”

 James Burrows, a legendary director who worked on numerous iconic shows, died at the age of 85, and many in Hollywood are paying tribute. That includes Debra Messing and Eric McCormack, who worked with Burrows on the show Will & Grace.

Messing, who played Grace Adler on the sitcom, posted on Instagram, sharing numerous photos of the two, and referring to Burrows as "a legend. An Icon. A singular talent and revolutionary in television."

"He brought laughter and love into more homes, globally, than any other TV director in history," she wrote. "To me he was Jimmy. To my son, he was Papa Jimmy."

"I can’t express the pain of his loss, and I know that is true for everyone who was lucky enough to be loved by him. Jimmy changed my life 28 years ago and has been in my life ever since. He had a dry sense of humor but exploded in laughter when he orchestrated comic moments that landed. I wanted his laughs most of all," Messing added. "e loved and trusted his actors (which is rare in tv comedy). He let us play and explore and fail terribly and would always see the gem in what was happening, and like a master conductor, he taught us how to play the music. He was quiet and serious, but also very committed to finishing rehearsal so he could make his tee time. He loved talent. He was thrilled by it. Every person he allowed in his sphere felt respected, admired, and important. We were, are, family, and always will be. Every cast member who had the rare privilege of being directed by him for nearly a decade, felt like one of his kids. And today, we lost our TV dad."

McCormack also shared a photo of himself and Burrows, writing that Hollywood "lost a giant today."

"He was beloved by everyone, and has left not a mark but a footprint. An incredible legacy. Jimmy, thank you for everything you gave us. I love you. And I send so much love to Debbie and your whole beautiful family. ❤️🥂," he posted.

Along with his work on Will & Grace, he was the co-creator of Cheers and worked on Taxi, Frasier, Friends, 3rd Rock from the Sun, and more.
