Judge Judy might be winding down her decades-long career on TV, but she has no plans to slow down when it comes to pursuing some of her foremost creative interests.

During a recent appearance on Good Morning America, Judy Sheindlin, best known as the famed media personality Judge Judy, confirmed her intention to retire from her onscreen work, although she was quick to add she isn’t retiring completely.

Above all else, Sheindlin said that she plans to continue pursuing other projects from a production and behind the scenes standpoint, including her son’s show Adam’s Law, led by judge Adam Levy.

“First of all, he’s ready,” Sheindlin started by saying, referencing Levy, who sat beside her. “And you know, I’ve aged pretty well over the years. Reasonably. I look better than my grandmother did at my age — which didn’t take a lot.”

“I’m still going to be creative,” the judge continued. “I’m going to take the message and put it in a little bit of a different form. I’m gonna become the Benjamin Button of court.”

The final episode of Judy Justice, Sheindlin’s follow-up to the wildly successful Judge Judy, will air on October 22.

With Judge Judy originally arriving back in 1996, Sheindlin has enjoyed an illustrious three-decade career on television. After Judge Judy concluded in 2021, she continued to reign over the TV courtrooms with Judy Justice.

Nowadays, Sheindlin and her series is credited with reviving interest in courtroom programming, kicking off a whole wave of TV series that followed in its wake.

Among her many prestigious honors, the series won three Emmy Awards, with Sheindlin gaining Guinness World Record recognition as the longest serving TV arbitrator in the medium’s history.

As further evidence of its popularity, the show has also been referenced and parodied in everything from Curb Your Enthusiasm to CHiPs ’99, among others.

In 2026, Mick Jagger is still turning heads when he steps out in London.

The 83-year-old the Rolling Stones frontman made a rare public appearance with his fiancée, former ballerina Melanie Hamrick, 39, on Wednesday, Sept. 16.

Jagger and Hamrick attended a party hosted by 10 Magazine and Givenchy Beauty at Mount Street Restaurant in London, where the longtime couple was photographed together at the event.

The appearance comes more than a decade after Jagger and Hamrick first met and more than a year after the retired American Ballet Theatre dancer publicly confirmed that the two are engaged.

Jagger and Hamrick’s story dates back to 2014, when the Rolling Stones and American Ballet Theatre happened to be touring in Japan at the same time.

Hamrick and several friends met Jagger backstage at a Stones concert in Tokyo that February. Their relationship didn’t turn romantic until a few months later, when Jagger invited Hamrick to join him during the band’s tour stop in Zurich.

The couple welcomed their son Deveraux Octavian Basil Jagger in December 2016. Deveraux is Hamrick’s only child and Jagger’s eighth.

Hamrick, who spent 15 years with American Ballet Theatre, retired from the company in 2019. That same year, she and Jagger combined their respective creative worlds for Porte Rouge, a ballet Hamrick choreographed using music from the Rolling Stones’ catalog.

Since leaving ballet, Hamrick has also become an author. Her debut novel “First Position” arrived in 2023, followed by “The Unraveling” in 2024.

Hamrick confirmed in April 2025 that she and Jagger were engaged, telling French publication Paris Match that the proposal had actually happened “two or three years” earlier.

But an engagement doesn’t necessarily mean the pair is racing toward a wedding.

“Maybe one day we’ll marry, maybe not,” Hamrick said at the time, adding that they were so happy with their life together that she was hesitant to change it.

She also offered a simple explanation for how their relationship has endured for more than a decade.

“We try to support each other, be there for each other, and make sure everyone is happy,” Hamrick said. “That’s all that matters to me and all I strive for.”

More than 12 years after their first meeting in Japan, Jagger and Hamrick’s latest London outing offered a rare new glimpse of the longtime couple together.

Why Is CVS Facing a $20.5 Million Privacy Settlement?

The class action lawsuit alleged that the CVS websites and its app shared users’ health and private information through tracking technology with the digital advertising firm Criteo Corp. and other third parties without consent. Both CVS Pharmacy, Inc. and Criteo Corp. deny they violated the law, and the court made no determination either way; however, a proposed settlement with a maximum cash payment of $20.5 million has been reached.

Who Is Eligible for the CVS Privacy Settlement?

Here’s who’s eligible:

• Living U.S. residents who accessed a covered CVS digital property, which includes the CVS website, CVS Health website and CVS app, in the U.S. before July 27, 2026 are eligible and may qualify for a cash settlement. No purchase is required.
• You must have been a U.S. resident at the time of access.
• Only one claim per household (mailing address) is permitted.

Who is not eligible?

• Customers or shoppers who only visited or made purchases at physical CVS stores are not eligible for this settlement.

How Much Money Could You Get?

If you meet the eligibility requirement, you can file a claim for ONE of two cash options:

• Cash Payment A: Up to $10 with valid documentation.
• Cash Payment B: Up to $5 without any documentation, explanation, or proof required.

What Documentation Do You Need to Claim Up to $10?

Documentation for the claims up to $10 may include browser history, dated screenshots, and email receipts for online purchases.

How to File a CVS Privacy Settlement Claim

Here’s how to file your claim:

• You can go directly to the official CVS Claim Form (no LoginID or PIN required).
• Enter your contact information and click either: 1) Cash Payment A for up to $10 with documentation, or 2) Cash Payment B for up to $5 without proof.
• Then make your choice of payment method (PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or a check) and complete the certification and signatures required.

You may also go to the main CVS Digital Privacy Settlement website and select “Submit a Claim” or download the printable claim form to mail in.

When Is the CVS Settlement Claim Deadline?

The deadline to submit an online claim is November 16, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Mailed claims must be postmarked by November 16, 2026.

What Are the Next Steps?

It’s important to note that no settlement payments are guaranteed, and any payments may even be reduced, based on the number of valid claims that come in and the final mandatory court fees and costs.

The final approval hearing, during which the court considers approval of the settlement and the requested fees and service awards, is currently scheduled for December 1, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. EST. This hearing date/time could be subject to rescheduling, so check the official website for changes.

This past week, The Traitors took home a historic seven Emmy Awards, continuing their streak for Outstanding Reality Competition Series, as well as Outstanding Host for Alan Cumming. And, to commemorate the occasion, the show has rolled out a brand-new season — and some brand-new faces.

The Traitors: New Blood eschews its celebrity casting in favor of bringing 22 complete strangers to the now-iconic Scottish castle. With no known figures, or pregame connections, all the players have to rely on are their skills of observation and deception, as they try to figure out the figures who gather at night and plot their deaths. New Blood kicked off with two major episodes, including a murder, a Roundtable, a new twist on recruitment and, of course, one hell of a cliffhanger.

Here’s our full spoiler-filled recap of The Traitors: New Blood premiere tonight, including who went home.

Lawyer Kim was one of the only people to lie about their job this season, worried that the stigma against attorneys would be used against her in the kangaroo court of the Roundtable. But her fake occupation of college basketball coach actually seemed to get her in more hot water. When the Traitors were assessing their first victim, they worried Kim could give one hell of a locker room speech at any time to turn the tide against them. And so, Kim was taken out in the opening arguments of the game.

As the only woman on a team of 30 men, construction manager Madeline Kostopulos thought she had all the building blocks for a winning game. She had intelligence, a sense of humor, and even the kindlings of a flirtmance with Victor Vollbrechthausen. But that all got doused during one fateful conversation with Kriste Lewis. Kriste misheard a statement from Madeline, believing she slipped up and said, “I felt bad picking Kim.” When this bomb was dropped at the Roundtable, Madeline was suddenly forced on the defensive, not helped when her only ally in the fight was Victor, who was also sketching the group out. Ultimately, the majority of the players took Kriste’s side in the argument, and were proven wrong when the banished Madeline revealed she was Faithful.

Joe and Tamica were the two initial Traitors of the season, selected by Alan during the premiere. The first night, they were given a task: Pick two “accomplices” who would compete for a spot in the turret. The next day, one would become a new Traitor, while the other would be murdered.

We ended the episode with Katie and Xavier embarking in a do-or-die task, frantically searching for a death warrant in plain sight. If they’re unable to acquire it by a certain time, they’ll be signing their own death warrant, leading to their own murder. We’ll find out next week if the two were able to get the death warrants in time — and who was selected to become the third Traitor of the season.

Throughout the ’70s, Lynyrd Skynyrd released several tracks that still get crowds excited. For instance, the publication American Songwriter recently included the band’s 1973 tune, “Gimme Three Steps,” off their first album, Pronounced ‘Lĕh-‘nérd ‘Skin-‘nérd, on a list of the “4 Rowdy Rock Songs From 1973 That Will Remind You of Your Favorite Bar.”

According to American Songwriter, the Ronnie Van Zant and Allen Collins-penned tune makes for the perfect “rowdy” bar track partly because of its humorous lyrics regarding an unfortunate situation involving a cowardly man, a woman “named Linda Lou,” and her angry significant other, armed with a gun.

The late guitarist of Lynyrd Skynyrd, Gary Rossington, who died in 2023 at the age of 71, shared insight into how Van Zant and Collins came up with “Gimme Three Steps” during a 2009 interview with Guitar World. According to Rossington, the track depicted a “true story,” involving him, Van Zant, and Collins.

“Ronnie went into a bar to look for someone and me and Allen were too young to get in so were waiting for him outside, and we were waiting and waiting, then he came running out with a big ol’ guy chasing him, yelling,” said Rossington to the publication. “He had started dancing with this chick and this guy came in and was going to beat him up and Ronnie said, ‘Just give me three steps and I’m gone.’ The guy had a gun and he was a redneck and he was drunk – a nasty combination of things – and Ronnie said, ‘If you’re going to shoot me, it’s going to be in the ass or in the elbow.’ And he took off like a bat out of hell.”

Rossington then recalled that he and his bandmates “got in the car,” where Van Zant explained “what happened” at the bar.

“[W]e were laughing and we kind of wrote the song right there, drove over to Allen’s house, got his guitar and finished it,” said the musician during the 2009 interview.

He then said he believed that “[t]he more wild experiences you have the better songs you can write.”

“I’m not necessarily proud of everything we ever did, but that’s just true. We always just considered ourselves a working-man’s band and thought every song should tell a story that people could relate to,” continued Rossington while speaking to Guitar World. “When we finish a song, you know what it’s about, whereas some groups have songs you may dig but not understand. I think that’s why our songs have lasted as long as they have.”

Dragnet, the NBC crime drama led by Jack Webb and Harry Morgan, ended its television run in 1970, but its place in TV history remains. 

The series is included in TIME’s All-TIME 100 TV Shows, a collection highlighting important television programs from across the medium’s history. 

The series, known on screen as Dragnet 1967 when it began and Dragnet 1970 when it ended, ran from Jan. 12, 1967, to April 16, 1970. Webb played Sgt. Joe Friday, while Morgan played Officer Bill Gannon. Webb also directed the series.

Unlike crime shows built around large action scenes, Dragnet focused on police work, investigations, interviews and the details of each case. That simple structure helped define the show’s identity during its four-season run.

Each episode usually opened with stock footage of Los Angeles and Friday’s familiar introduction, “This is the city.” He would then give the day and time, along with details about the shift he and Gannon were working.

From there, the two officers investigated the case at hand, with Friday usually serving as the lead investigator.

The series originally aired Thursdays from 9:30 to 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time on NBC. Its four seasons produced a total of 98 episodes.

Why ‘Dragnet’ Remains a Notable Classic Crime Drama

One of the clearest features of Dragnet was the way its main character handled police interviews.

Friday was polite and professional, but his questions were direct and tightly focused. When witnesses or suspects moved into details that were not relevant to the investigation, Friday often brought the conversation back to the case with the line, “Ma’am (Sir), we just want to get the facts.”

That approach became a central part of the show’s presentation.

The series also made room for the legal outcome of each case. At the end of an episode, viewers were told what happened to the suspects who had been arrested. This gave the investigations a clear conclusion instead of ending simply with an arrest.

Friday and Gannon were also rarely shown outside their work relationship. Gannon sometimes talked about his wife, Eileen, and his family. He also encouraged the single Friday to spend more time building a social life.

There were occasional moments that moved away from the usual police routine. One example came in the 1968 episode “Homicide: DR-06.” Friday invited the Gannons to his apartment for a steak dinner, but the evening was repeatedly interrupted by tenants who needed Friday’s help.

The series was created as a continuation of the Dragnet franchise, following the earlier 1950s television series. The first season was titled Dragnet 1967 and contained 17 episodes. It premiered Jan. 12, 1967, and ended May 11 of that year.

The second season, Dragnet 1968, had 28 episodes and ran from Sept. 14, 1967, through March 28, 1968.

The third season, Dragnet 1969, contained 27 episodes. It premiered Sept. 19, 1968, and ended April 17, 1969.

The final season, Dragnet 1970, had 26 episodes. It began Sept. 18, 1969, and concluded April 16, 1970.

All four seasons were later released on DVD. Universal Studios Home Entertainment released the first season, while Shout! Factory released the second, third and fourth seasons.

The show’s history also includes a television movie. In 1965, Jack Webb was approached by Universal Pictures about producing a Dragnet television movie for NBC. NBC programming director Mort Werner was impressed by the film and decided that the franchise could work as a weekly television series.

Webb had been more interested in continuing Dragnet through television movies, but ultimately agreed to the weekly series.

The movie was eventually released on Jan. 27, 1969, during the third season of the television show, as part of The NBC Monday Movie. Its promotional title was World Premiere: Dragnet.

Colin Farrell was spotted earlier this week in Los Angeles looking, well, different. The 50-year-old actor debuted a new ‘do, rocking a shaved head.

That’s right, Farrell’s luxe brunette locks are officially gone. As of now, it’s unclear whether his buzzy bald look is for a new film or just a fashion choice. 

In June, Farrell spoke to Collider, confirming that he would reprise his role as the Penguin in The Batman Part II and revealing that the sequel was about to start filming: “It’ll be an amazing set to be on. The script, I’ve said before, and you know, I said to you, it’s extraordinary. It really is. Matt is just so brilliant, and he just cares so deeply about the stories he tells. I will fly to London in four or five weeks. I haven’t got much to do on it, but I’ll go in four or five weeks. I’ll be there for a few weeks. I’m so excited to see it as a fan.” 

Farrell famously had one of the most extraordinary cinematic transformations for his role as the Penguin. In 2024, he opened up to People at the spin-off series’ New York City premiere, sharing what he thought of the jaw-dropping change: “Do you ever see cats looking at themselves in the mirror? How they recoil, and they just don’t know [it’s them]? It was strange.”

He continued, “It’s not like I ever fully lost sense of myself, but it was a very powerful thing to know yourself in a certain way for 45 years and to see a reflection. And it also kind of made me aware of how much I identified with how I look.”

While his recent new hairstyle (or lack thereof) isn’t as pronounced as his Penguin look, it’s a departure from what fans are used to. That said, it’s not the first time he has shaved his head. Farrell did go partially bald for the first The Batman film. Prosthetic makeup artist Mike Marino said on ‘The Movie Podcast,’ “When the series came around, he was like I’m not shaving my head…because on the movie he shaved his head. He shaved all this off…He had a monk hairdo. And that was only supposed to be a few months.” 

Marino added, “He was like, ‘That was really hard for me to be like shaving my head.’ And it wasn’t even like he shaved his head. It was like shaving part of his head. He couldn’t go out anywhere. He looked very interesting. But he’s rocking that look, you know. But like Colin Farrell, you know. It’s just puffy hair and nothing here.”

So did Farrell shave his head to play the Penguin again? He’s keeping mum on the noticeable new hairdo.

Fans of the Empyrean series by Rebecca Yarros have only a matter of days before the next edition of the books is released. Threshing Day, a collection of thirteen short stories taking place in the Fourth Wing universe, will be released later this month on September 29th.

Yarros is no stranger to commercial success with books in the series. The first novel, Fourth Wing, spent more than 65 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. The sequels that have been released thus far (Yarros has indicated the series will contain five full-length novels) were both among the best-selling books of the entire years both were released.

Massive book retailer Barnes & Noble releases regular updates on what books are selling best overall in their stores and online. Unsurprisingly, as Threshing Day’s release draws closer, it currently holds the top spot on the bestseller list for the company, flanked by titles like Theo of Golden and the preorders for Sarah J. Maas’ next books in the ACOTAR series.

Within the world of the Empyrean series, a “threshing” is an annual event taking place on October 1st where every first-year rider at the Basgiath War College attempts to bond with a dragon. The stakes are massive, as a bond with a dragon is typically lifelong. Failure to do so is immensely dangerous and could even result in death.

Not much is known about Yarros’ collection of stories, other than it will focus on different characters and their subsequent dragons. It has been confirmed that there will be a story focused on Xaden Riorson, but the rest of the lineup of the novel remains a secret.

The next full-length novel in the series has yet to be announced; however, earlier this year Yarros did confirm she is working on it via her Instagram.

Threshing Day is currently available for preorder, and the three books part of the Empyrean series that have been released so far are available wherever books are sold.

Lightweight knits like this lace cardigan are a fall favorite for a reason. Made from a 70% rayon and 30% polyester blend, it’s light enough to layer over a tank or camisole on milder days while still adding an extra layer when temperatures start to drop. You can also button it up and wear it on its own with jeans, trousers, or a skirt. 

The cardigan is available in sizes extra small through XXL and in four colors. Prices vary slightly by color, but every option is currently under $11, making it a budget-friendly piece to have on hand throughout the fall. Care is also simple. You can machine wash it on a gentle cycle with mild detergent.

Walmart shoppers shared positive reviews of the cardigan. One called it “really pretty,” while another said it was a “long-armed girl’s dream.” A third reviewer highlighted its “slim” fit and wrote that it was “very stretchy and soft.”

Summer may get all the vacation glory, but fall is quietly becoming one of the best times of year to get away.

The kids are back in school, peak-season crowds have thinned and, in many parts of the world, temperatures have finally dipped from sweltering to sweater-worthy. Now, travelers seem to be catching on. According to luxury travel network Virtuoso, autumn bookings are up 59 percent, while sales have jumped 69 percent.

And while leaf-peeping road trips will always have our hearts, there’s another reason to embrace fall travel: It’s practically tailor-made for a reset.

That sweet spot between the chaos of summer travel and the even bigger chaos of the holidays is an ideal time to slow down, sleep in and devote a few days to feeling like yourself again.

From soaking in a 1,300-year-old Japanese hot spring destination to practicing Pilates atop an Italian mountain, these six destinations make a pretty convincing argument for putting your OOO on this fall.

Hotel St. George, Helsinki, Finland

If your idea of wellness goes beyond a massage and a green juice, Hotel St. George is taking a decidedly more data-driven approach.

Its new Healthspan Stay, developed with performance coaching company Hintsa Performance, is designed around not just living longer, but living better. Guests undergo assessments including body composition, strength and biomechanics profiling before receiving personalized coaching aimed at improving long-term well-being.

And because even the most dedicated wellness warriors deserve some downtime, there’s still plenty of opportunity to switch off and enjoy the hotel between sessions.

Es Racó d’Artà, Mallorca, Spain

Mallorca after the summer rush? Say less.

Set around a restored 13th-century estate, Es Racó d’Artà feels worlds away from the island’s buzzy beach clubs. Here, the focus shifts to nature, stillness and slowing your internal speedometer way down.

Days can begin with guided meditation and yoga before moving on to sound therapy, holistic treatments or simply wandering the surrounding landscape.

MANNA, Arcadia, Greece

Think Greece and chances are Santorini sunsets and Mykonos beach clubs spring to mind. MANNA offers a completely different Greek escape.

Tucked into the forests of mountainous Arcadia, the hotel occupies a landmark former sanatorium dating to the late 1920s. Today, its secluded setting lends itself to a much more relaxing prescription: outdoor yoga, a serene wellness space, farm-to-table meals and picnics surrounded by nature.

With Virtuoso also reporting a significant rise in fall travel to Greece, heading inland offers an intriguing alternative to the country’s famous islands.

Vigilius Mountain Resort, South Tyrol, Italy

Getting away from it all takes on a fairly literal meaning at Vigilius Mountain Resort in South Tyrol.

High above Lana on the Vigiljoch mountain, the retreat leans into seasonal wellness with experiences ranging from yoga and mindful fasting to wild-herb walks, tea ceremonies and mountaintop Pilates.

Voaara, Sainte-Marie, Madagascar

If fall has you craving sunshine rather than sweaters, Voaara offers a very different kind of reset.

The intimate seven-bungalow retreat sits along a private beach on Madagascar’s Sainte-Marie island, where open-air living and a decidedly barefoot approach are part of the appeal. Massages take place in thatched treatment bandas using local Anoka Botanic oils, while the surrounding beach provides plenty of room to wander at your own pace.

Matsumoto Jujo, Matsumoto, Japan

Few things say “switch off” quite like soaking in an onsen with the Japanese Alps outside your window.

Matsumoto Jujo sits in Asama Onsen, a hot-spring area with a history stretching back some 1,300 years. The restored ryokan embraces that heritage while adding a contemporary, design-forward spin, with expansive windows framing the mountains and libraries that practically beg you to linger with a book.

Add Japan’s spectacular fall scenery to the equation and suddenly postponing that summer vacation doesn’t sound like such a bad idea after all.

A detached garage can contain some of the most valuable property outside your home. Power tools, lawn equipment, bicycles and vehicles may all be stored there, often behind only a garage door or side entrance. Because the building sits away from the house, activity around it may also be harder to hear or notice at night.

A home security system can extend protection beyond the main house, but distance creates a few additional considerations. Sensors need to remain within communication range of the security hub, while connected cameras need reliable Wi-Fi and power or sufficient battery life.

ADT’s current system supports wireless door/window sensors and motion detectors, and the company also offers an Alarm Range Extender designed to increase communication range between the ADT Base and compatible sensors.

So, what does it take to secure a detached garage effectively? Here’s everything you need to know.

If you’re unsure whether your detached garage is within range of your existing system, ADT can evaluate the property and recommend sensor, camera and range-extension options.

What Is the Best Way To Secure a Detached Garage With an Alarm?

A strong detached-garage security setup combines entry sensors, interior motion detection and, where connectivity allows, exterior cameras. Professional monitoring can add another response path when the garage is unattended. But the right equipment depends on the garage layout and how far it sits from the house. Here are some items to consider:

Security Feature

Where It Helps

Door/window sensors

Side doors, windows and other accessible openings

Motion sensor

Detects movement inside the garage

Outdoor camera

Monitors driveway and exterior approach

Range extender

Helps compatible sensors communicate over greater distances

Professional monitoring

Provides 24/7 monitoring for supported alarm events

Battery backup

Helps keep the main system operating during outages

Start With Every Garage Door and Accessible Window

The first priority is detecting when someone enters the structure. Wireless contact sensors can be placed on compatible doors and windows to alert the security system when an opening is breached.

ADT specifically recommends door/window sensors for accessible entry points around a property. For a detached garage, that may include a side entry door and accessible windows in addition to the main garage door.

An interior motion detector can provide another layer of detection if someone enters through an opening that isn’t protected by a contact sensor. That combination is especially useful in workshops where high-value tools or equipment remain inside overnight.

Can ADT Sensors Reach a Detached Garage?

Potentially, but distance and construction matter. Wireless signals have to travel between the garage and the security system inside the house. Exterior walls, building materials and the distance between structures can all affect performance.

ADT offers an Alarm Range Extender specifically to extend communication between its Base and compatible sensors and detectors. The device also includes a 24-hour backup battery and tamper detection.

ADT does not publish a universal maximum distance for every installation, so homeowners shouldn’t assume an extender will reach any detached structure regardless of location. Testing the signal at the actual garage is more useful than relying on distance alone.

For garages farther from the house, professional installation can help determine whether sensors communicate reliably before the system is put into service. ADT currently offers a free consultation and quote that can help you get started.

Should You Put a Security Camera on a Detached Garage?

A camera can add useful visual coverage, particularly when pointed toward the garage door, driveway or approach to the building.

ADT outdoor cameras provide remote video viewing and alerts for detected activity. Current ADT outdoor camera options also support features such as night vision and notifications through the ADT+ app.

Camera placement has an important limitation, however: Wi-Fi coverage. ADT states that its outdoor cameras require a Wi-Fi connection. If the home’s wireless network barely reaches the garage, video can be less reliable even when alarm sensors communicate successfully through the security system.

That distinction matters because alarm sensors and security cameras may use different connections. Before installing a camera, test Wi-Fi performance from the exact mounting location.

Don’t Ignore Camera and Wi-Fi Security

A connected camera also needs basic cybersecurity protection. The Federal Trade Commission recommends securing home security cameras with strong passwords, keeping software updated and using WPA2 or WPA3 encryption on the home Wi-Fi network. The agency also recommends enabling additional security features, such as two-factor authentication when available.

Those precautions matter whether the camera watches the front porch or a detached workshop.

What Happens if the Power or Internet Goes Out?

Detached buildings can introduce another weak point if their security relies entirely on household internet: power outages. ADT’s current Base uses both Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity and includes a rechargeable battery rated for up to 24 hours of backup operation.

ADT says its use of both Wi-Fi and LTE provides redundancy for security communication. Cameras may still lose internet-dependent features during an outage, so backup cellular communication shouldn’t be confused with uninterrupted video service.

Is a Security System Worth It for a Detached Garage or Workshop?

A security system can be especially worthwhile when a detached building contains expensive tools, machinery, bicycles or vehicles that would be costly to replace. The important question is whether the equipment can reliably cover the building.

Door sensors and motion detection provide the foundation. Cameras can add visual monitoring when Wi-Fi coverage is strong enough, while a range extender may help compatible alarm sensors communicate across a larger property.

For homeowners who use a detached garage as a workshop, the ability to protect it through the same broader security system as the house can also simplify monitoring.

If you want to extend security to a detached garage or workshop, ADT can assess the layout and recommend equipment based on the distance, entry points and connectivity available on the property.

A new trailer for the eighth season of The Kardashians reveals a behind-the-scenes medical scare as Kim Kardashian learns of a medical diagnosis closely related to her father.

The upcoming season reveals that Kim has esophagitis, a swelling and irritation of the esophagus. Kim is seen lying in a hospital bed when someone off-camera asks the TV star, in realization, “Didn’t your father — isn’t that what he died of?”

The scene then shifts to reveal Kris Jenner as she tells the camera, “I can’t. It makes me want to cry.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, the esophagus is a muscular tube that carries food and drink from the mouth to the stomach. Someone with esophagitis experiences “painful” or “difficult swallowing,” which can also lead to chest pain. They explain that some common causes can be due to stomach acid backing up into the esophagus, infection, and even taking certain medications.

“Treatment for esophagitis depends on its exact cause and how badly the tissue that lines the esophagus is damaged. Without treatment, esophagitis can damage this lining,” they explain.

“The esophagus may start to have trouble moving food and liquid from the mouth to the stomach. Esophagitis also can lead to other serious health issues. These include scarring or narrowing of the esophagus, unhealthy weight loss, and dehydration.”

Kim’s health scare carries a personal connection to her father’s death, as Robert Kardashian Sr. died from esophageal cancer in 2003. He was diagnosed just eight weeks before his death, making his illness particularly sudden. However, there is no indication that Kim’s esophagitis is connected to her father’s cancer, and esophagitis itself is not a diagnosis of esophageal cancer.

In an interview with GQ, she recalls having had a family dinner when her father began choking and coughing. He came back to the table and said, “It’s so weird. The food is getting stuck down my throat.”

She and her siblings urged him to get a medical checkup when the doctor told Kim and Kourtney Kardashian that what he had was terminal. Kim recalls Cream of Wheat being the only thing he could eat during his illness. Her father died at 59 years old on Sept. 30, 2003.

Beloved singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell has written and released plenty of hits over the years, and there are many hidden gem songs in her discography. One of these is her song “Chelsea Morning,” written very early in her career about her experiences living in the iconic Chelsea neighborhood in New York City.

“Chelsea Morning” is a dreamy love song about taking advantage of the moment and not wanting to say goodbye to a good feeling. It includes lyrics like, “Woke up, it was a Chelsea morning/ And the first thing that I heard/ Was a song outside my window/ And the traffic wrote the words,” and “Oh, won’t you stay/ We’ll put on the day/ And we’ll wear it ’till the night comes.”

Mitchell penned the song before she even had a record label and released her debut album. But she waited to release it until her second album, Clouds, because versions had already been released by other artists before her. Luckily, Mitchell still ended up sharing her personal version of the song in 1969.

A few years after the song was released, Mitchell stopped singing it live, telling a fan who requested it at a concert in 1974: “I don’t sing that song anymore… It sorta belongs to my musical childhood, to me, you know? I’m not trying to be snobbish about my own songs.”

In a retrospective interview talking about a bunch of her songs, Mitchell said of “Chelsea Morning,” “It was a very young and lovely time … before I had a record deal. I think it’s a very sweet song, but I don’t think of it as part of my best work. To me, most of those early songs seem like the work of an ingenue.”

Despite this, the song has gained a lot of fans over the years, and Rolling Stone Australia listed it as one of her “50 Essential Songs.” Knowing that Mitchell has written over 200 songs throughout her music career, that’s high praise.

In 2021, she gifted fans with an official video of her performing “Chelsea Morning” at Carnegie Hall in 1969, the year the song came out.

Fans on YouTube praised the song, with one calling the lyrics “genius brilliance.” Another wrote, “50 years on…this music will continue to stand the test of time.” Others called it “truly special” and said, “Great music endures, Joni’s spirit will shine forever. Thank you.”

Millie Bobby Brown just shared the first photo of baby No. 2 with her husband, Jake Bongiovi—and in the process, she also revealed the gender of their second child.

On Thursday, Sept. 17, the Stranger Things actress confirmed via Instagram the new addition to her family through adoption.

“Hi little guy!” the doting mom captioned her update.

In the featured photo, Brown’s hand—complete with red nail polish and a ring that read “Mom” rested on (presumably) Jake’s hand, their daughter’s hand, and their new baby’s hand, with a yellow-and-white checked blanket serving as the backdrop.

The term “little guy” suggested that their newborn is a boy, although no other information was divulged, including a name. This isn’t shocking for fans, considering Brown, 22, and Bongiovi, 24, still haven’t shared their daughter’s name since her August 2025 adoption.

Additionally, followers shouldn’t expect to see a snap of their baby boy’s face anytime soon because the Brown-Bongiovi family has prioritized their kids’ privacy and, so far, has only offered glimpses of their little girl.

Earlier on Thursday, People broke the news that Brown and Bongiovi (the son of Jon Bon Jovi) adopted a second child. The news came after the couple sparked speculation with a video showing Bongiovi with a baby carrier while facing away from the camera, while Brown held their daughter.

View this post on Instagram

Brown and Bongiovi married in May 2024, when she was 19 and he was 22. In August 2025, they announced the adoption of their daughter. And in June of this year, Brown opened up about their decision to adopt.

“It was always part of my childhood dreams,” she said on Kylie Kelce‘s Not Gonna Lie podcast. “Every time I was at home and I was, you know, 5, 6 years old, my parents were like, ‘You had your baby dolls.’ They were all adopted. I never had any of them myself. And I never pretended I was pregnant.”

However, she hasn’t ruled out welcoming biological kids one day, too.

“Hopefully one day that’s in my future,” she explained. “Adoption is love, adoption is forever.”

Ray Price’s 1970 country song “For the Good Times” became one of the genre’s best-known recordings and continues to resonate as a lasting classic decades later.

Penned by Kris Kristofferson, one of the most influential figures in modern country music, the song was written in 1968 and inspired by a real-life breakup he experienced.

It later appeared on his self-titled debut album released in 1970.

That same year, Price released his own rendition of “For the Good Times,” giving the track a pop-country vibe with his smooth, operatic baritone vocal style. His distinctive vocal approach also earned him the moniker “The Cherokee Cowboy.”

According to Price, the song initially received negative reactions from some musicians, but that only reinforced his belief that it would become a big hit.

“I got the very reaction I wanted, they didn’t like it. If a musician likes a song, it’s dead,” he said, as cited by Billboard. “But I predicted it would be a hit, and I went back to Nashville and we got it together, and, by God, it was. I won a lot of awards for that song, and getting awards was important, sure. It meant that they thought I was doing good, or somebody did, and it made me feel good that what I was doing was right. It wasn’t an ego thing.”

Just as he predicted, the cover became a huge commercial success, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.

Not only did it become Price’s fifth country song to reach No. 1 on the chart, but it also ended his nearly 11-year absence from the spot following his previous No. 1 hit in 1959 with “The Same Old Me.”

In addition, “For the Good Times” also reached the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at No. 11.

Beyond its chart success, the song also earned major industry recognition.

It won Best Country Vocal Performance at the Grammy Awards in 1971, while the Academy of Country Music named it Single of the Year and Song of the Year that same year.

Even the songwriter and original performer recognized Price’s rendition as a standout version.

“I felt more like he had made it a hit than the song had,” Kristofferson told CMT of Price in 2007, via Rolling Stone. “[He] was one of the most respected singers among the serious musicians and serious songwriters in town.”

Decades later, “For the Good Times” continued to demonstrate its influence on fellow musicians, including Elvis Presley, whose powerful pop-rock interpretation appeared on his album Elvis as Recorded Live at Madison Square Garden. Perry Como also recorded a rendition that reached No. 7 on the UK Singles Chart, while Johnny Cash’s version was featured on his 2010 posthumous album American VI: Ain’t No Grave, according to Songfacts.

There are few phrases in the food world more thrilling than all-you-can-eat. It immediately releases us from the tiny voice in our heads asking, “Do I really need another one?” For one glorious meal, the answer is simply: Who cares? If you paid one set price, you might as well settle in and enjoy the ride.

There’s also something wonderfully nostalgic about an all-you-can-eat meal. It takes us back to the kind of dining where the goal wasn’t portion control or perfectly composed plates. It was going back for seconds. Maybe thirds. Maybe quietly considering whether a fourth trip to the buffet would be taking things too far (it probably would but who’s judging?).

It was the early 1970s, and Cameron Crowe was just 15 years old the first time he walked into a room full of rock stars with a notebook. He’d skipped three grades. He graduated high school at only 15. He was writing for underground music papers in San Diego before he could legally drive — too young for a learner’s permit, so he took the Greyhound bus from San Diego to Los Angeles for interviews. He started writing for Rolling Stone at 15. His mother thought he was going to college. By 16, he was on tour with the Allman Brothers. Two decades later, he made a film about all of it called Almost Famous. It lost money when it came out, but then it won the Oscar. And has spent the past 25 years becoming one of the most honest stories anyone’s ever put on screen about what it feels like to love music.

Here’s what’s actually true. Nearly every detail in Almost Famous happened. William Miller — played by actor Patrick Fugit — is a 15-year-old aspiring rock journalist, just like Crowe himself was.

Lester Bangs — played by Philip Seymour Hoffman — was actually Crowe’s real mentor. Crowe met him for the first time through Creem magazine while still in high school. “He was blazingly original,” Crowe said. “He had the balls to not even mention the record he was reviewing in his review.”

The Penny Lane character was based on real women Crowe met on the road — primarily Pennie Lane Trumbull, who went on tour with Led Zeppelin. Stillwater is a composite of every real band he traveled with, including the Eagles, Linda Ronstadt, Peter Frampton, and Fleetwood Mac. When Crowe was too young to drive, he took the Greyhound to L.A. where photographer Neal Preston would pick him up and drive him to the Hyatt House on Sunset — the legendary Riot House where most of the rock-and-roll chaos unfolded.

Frances McDormand‘s character was based on Crowe’s actual mother, Alice — a psychology professor who didn’t allow rock records in the house and wrote letters to NBC complaining about Simon and Garfunkel on television. It was Crowe’s sister Cindy who hid the records under her bed and passed them to him when she left home. In fact, the film helped reunite Crowe with Cindy — they’d been estranged for years and reconciled at the Almost Famous premiere.

Crowe accepted his Academy Award, saying it was “a love letter to music and to my family.” He meant both. When the whole tour bus spontaneously sings along to Elton John‘s “Tiny Dancer,” it lands the way it does because Crowe didn’t invent that feeling. He remembered it.

What makes Almost Famous so different from every other rock film is that it’s not really about the music. It’s about what the music does to you when you’re the youngest and least cool person in the room. William Miller doesn’t belong on that tour bus, and he knows it. The film never pretends otherwise. That specific feeling — of being overwhelmed and exactly where you’re supposed to be at exactly the same time — is what Crowe nailed in the movie because he’d actually lived it.

The Film That Lost Money and Won the Oscar

Almost Famous opened September 15, 2000. The budget was $60 million. Production ran 92 days — a full month over schedule. Music licensing alone cost $3.5 million. DreamWorks offloaded international rights to Sony before release to limit its losses. The film earned $47.4 million worldwide and lost money. Roger Ebert gave it four stars and put it at the top of his best-of-year list. It won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. Kate Hudson ended up winning the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress, and the Writers Guild later ranked it among the greatest screenplays of the 21st century. It currently holds a 91% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 227 reviews. It’s available to watch on Paramount Plus right now. The film that couldn’t find an audience in 2000 has been finding one ever since.

Crowe was 15 when he started. He had to take the bus to interviews because he couldn’t drive. He wrote everything down. He made a movie about it, and it lost money and won the Oscar, and that’s somehow exactly the right ending for a story about the coolest kid in the room turning out to be completely right about everything.

Barrett Pfeiffer has been eliminated from the Big Brother house after 71 days.

Who was nominated in the Big Brother 28 double eviction tonight?

By a vote of 2 to 1 Yash Patel has been evicted from the Big Brother house. Upon his exit he filled his water bottle, looked directly into the camera and said “Stay hydrated America.”

There’s no shortage of travel treasures the UK has given us: Stonehenge, Buckingham Palace, the honey-hued villages and country estates of the Cotswolds and, yes, the gilded grandeur of Downton Abbey at its real-life filming location, Highclere Castle. But one bucket-list pilgrimage continues to cast a spell over travelers like few others: stepping inside the wonderful wizarding world of Harry Potter.

And with HBO’s new Harry Potter series bringing Hogwarts back to screens, there’s never been a better excuse to grab your wand, dust off your house scarf and plan a spellbinding trip across the pond.

Potterheads can retrace Harry, Ron and Hermione’s footsteps across England, from Hogwarts corridors hidden inside centuries-old cathedrals to the London market that doubled as Diagon Alley. Better yet, plenty of the original films’ most magical locations exist right here in the Muggle world, no Floo Powder required.

So, why not turn a Harry Potter pilgrimage into a seriously dreamy UK vacation? These enchanting hotels put you within striking distance of the magic while giving you a pretty fabulous place to apparate back to at the end of the day.

Cliveden House, Taplow Cliveden House makes a suitably grand home base for a magical trip through the English countryside.

Cliveden House

For the ultimate behind-the-scenes fix, make your way to Warner Bros. Studio Tour London, where the original films’ sets, costumes and props include everything from the Great Hall to Diagon Alley.

About a 30-minute drive away, Cliveden House offers a suitably grand place to sleep after all that spell-casting. The Grade I-listed stately home sits within 376 acres of National Trust grounds overlooking the River Thames and has welcomed everyone from Winston Churchill to Charlie Chaplin over its 350-plus-year history.

Choose from lavish rooms and suites, book a treatment at the Cliveden Spa or settle in for dinner overlooking the estate’s 19th-century Parterre. You can even take a boat out on the Thames, which feels infinitely more civilized than traveling by broomstick.

The Lygon Arms, Cotswolds The Lygon Arms brings a touch of Hogwarts-worthy grandeur to the storybook Cotswolds.

The Lygon Arms

If walking the halls of Hogwarts is high on your bucket list, point your wand toward Gloucester Cathedral. Its spectacular cloisters were transformed into Hogwarts corridors in the first, second and sixth Harry Potter films.

Then make your way into the Cotswolds, where The Lygon Arms awaits in storybook-pretty Broadway. The historic inn has been welcoming guests for more than 600 years, and with four-poster beds, exposed beams and roaring log fires, you wouldn’t be blamed for wondering if you’ve stumbled into Hogsmeade.

Afternoon tea in the Russell Room is about as quintessentially English as it gets, while the spa’s indoor pool and thermal facilities provide the perfect antidote to a long day of exploring.

The Mayfair Townhouse, London Consider The Mayfair Townhouse your chic Muggle headquarters for a magical tour of London.

The Mayfair Townhouse

London is practically overflowing with Harry Potter filming locations, so consider this your permission slip for a magical city break.

At Leadenhall Market, you can wander the ornate Victorian passageways used for Diagon Alley in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and seek out the storefront in Bull’s Head Passage that became the entrance to the Leaky Cauldron. Elsewhere, Piccadilly Circus appears in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1, while Lambeth Bridge provided the backdrop for the Knight Bus’s memorable squeeze between two double-deckers in Prisoner of Azkaban.

Make The Mayfair Townhouse your stylish base for exploring it all. Spread across 15 interconnected Georgian townhouses, the hotel leans into its theatrical side with 172 individually designed rooms and the glamorous Dandy Bar, where a post-sightseeing cocktail is considerably easier to order than a Butterbeer.

The Chelsea Townhouse and 11 Cadogan Gardens, London The Chelsea Townhouse offers a quieter kind of magic overlooking leafy Cadogan Gardens.

The Chelsea Townhouse

Prefer your London stay with a little more residential charm? The Chelsea Townhouse occupies three restored Victorian redbrick townhouses overlooking leafy Cadogan Gardens, with just 36 individually designed rooms and a cozy library tailor-made for rereading Harry Potter.

Nearby, 11 Cadogan Gardens offers another intimate option spread across four interconnected Victorian townhouses. From either, you can spend the day hunting down filming locations before retreating to Chelsea for dinner and drinks.

After all, even witches and wizards need somewhere comfortable to crash after a long day of mischief managed.
