‘Cab’s are here,’ and it’s time to say goodbye to the GTL gang. Snooki, Deena, Pauly D, JWoww, Vinny, The Situation, Sammi Sweetheart, Ronnie, and Angelina recently returned to the small screen for their last season of Jersey Shore, and ‘Family Vacation’ has a whole new meaning for this group of friends.

Way back in 2009, MTV gathered a group of strangers in a Shore house, creating a Jersey-style version of the network’s iconic reality show The Real World. Fast forward to 2026, and the hard-partying, fist-pumping group of 20-somethings has toned things down…a bit. And now that most of the cast have kids, fans are wondering, “What do they tell their own children about those first few wild seasons at the Jersey Shore?”

Most of the original Jersey Shore cast are parents. Vinny and Angelina are the only two who don’t have children yet. The infamous “Keto Guido” Vinnie Guadagnino is still a bachelor, and Angelina (who was married to Chris Marangeira from 2019 until 2022) split from her fiancé Vinny Tortorella in 2025. 

So, how many kids do the other castmates have?

Snooki Has Three Children

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has three children with her husband, Jionni LaValle. The couple welcomed son Lorenzo Dominic in 2012, daughter Giovanna Marie in 2014, and son Angelo James in 2019.

Deena Has Two Children

The other half of “The Meatballs” (along with Snooki), Deena Cortese, has two children with her husband, Christopher Buckner. Her eldest, John “CJ,” was born in 2019. Cameron Theo joined his big brother in 2021.

Pauly D Has One Child

DJ Pauly D (Paul DelVecchio) has one daughter, Amabella Sophia (born in 2013), with ex Amanda Markert.

JWoww Has Two Children

Jenni “JWoww” Farley has two children, daughter Meilani (born in 2014) and son Greyson (born in 2016), with her ex, Roger Mathews.

The Situation Has Three Children

Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and his wife, Lauren, welcomed son Romeo in 2021, daughter Mia in 2023, and another daughter, Luna, in 2024.

Sammi Has One Child

Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola and her fiancé, Justin May, have one son, Vincent Keith (born in 2025).  

Ronnie Has One Child

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and ex-girlfriend Jen Harley's daughter Ariana Sky was born in 2018.

In a recent interview with Decider, Deena shared, “My kids are on the show a lot. Um, they actually know all of the camera guys. They know all the sound guys and ladies. All the producers. So they feel very cozy on it. They’re very aware I’m on a show.” She continued, “I feel like eventually my kids are going to come across things, and it is what it is, but it’s why they have their lives today.”

Ronnie admitted that his daughter Ariana sends him YouTube videos from the show’s earlier days. And how does he react to those clips? Ortiz-Magro laughs, joking, “It was acting. That’s what I told her.” 

Snookie revealed now that her children are older, “They see things on TikTok and I’m still at the point where I’m like, that was acting.” She continued, “But I think Lorenzo’s now like ‘Mom, I see you drink wine. I see you get silly.’ So, I feel like the oldest are like, yeah, they understand. Mommy was young and enjoying myself.” The Situation chimed in, saying he hopes that his kids will watch the Family Vacation series first, but, “If that doesn’t work, I was an actor.”

One of the early 1970s’ most beloved soft rock hits has earned a lasting place among the decade’s greatest love songs, thanks in part to its smooth sound and subtly suggestive lyrics.

In June 1970, Bread released "Make It With You." The song quickly shot to the top of the charts, reaching the No. 1 position on the Billboard Top 100 on August 22 and staying steady for an astonishing 17 weeks on the chart.

Gold Radio placed the song at No. 22 on its list of the 25 Best Love Songs of the 1970s. It was ranked between "Love Will Keep Us Together" by Captain & Tennille and "Lovely Day" by Bill Withers.

The song, written by David Gates, was a collaborative effort between Gates and drummer Mike Botts reported Rhino. Gates sang lead and harmonies, including acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass, and strings.

"Make It With You" hails from Bread's second release, On the Waters. The song was the LP's biggest hit and would propel the album to No. 12 on the Billboard charts reported American Songwriter.

In a hilarious twist, the success of "Make It With You" was remarkable even to Gates' mother, reports Rhino.

The website wrote, "When the press got in touch with Gates’s mother and asked her about her son’s success, she acknowledged her pride in her boy, but she admitted that she didn’t understand why he had to go and title his band’s new single 'Naked with You.'"

"Make It With You" has all the elements of a great soft rock song. It's lyrics carry a subtle sense of innuendo that helped define its lasting appeal.

Gates' lyrics share his want of letting a new relationship unfold naturally. He suggests he and his new love build something meaningful together. "Make It With You" could refer to a physical relationship or a lasting bond, such as making it through life's challenges together.

David Gates retired from the music industry in the early 2000s. He is the last surviving member of Bread's principal lineup, which included Jimmy Griffin and Mike Botts (d. 2005), and Larry Knechtel (d. 2009) reported Pacific Coast Radio.

Bananas are notoriously high in potassium, an electrolyte that’s important for fluid balance, nerve impulses and muscle contractions. It’s why they’re often handed out at the end of races, sports games or other high-traffic areas for a group of sweaty people. 

But bananas do more for the body than replenish electrolytes after working out. For example, bananas help support healthy blood pressure when eaten regularly because the potassium it contains helps the body get rid of excess sodium through the kidneys. This reduces fluid retention and eases pressure on blood vessel walls. Eating bananas regularly also helps with digestion due to the fruit’s fiber content, makes losing weight easier and supports the immune system.

According to two cardiologists and a cardiac dietitian we talked to, eating bananas also supports healthy cholesterol levels. Considering that millions of adults in the U.S. have high cholesterol, this is pretty important information. When cholesterol levels remain high, it increases the risk of heart attack, stroke and heart disease, which is the number one cause of death in the U.S.

Just how much can incorporating bananas into your diet impact your cholesterol? Keep reading to find out.

How Bananas Impact Cholesterol

“Bananas are an excellent food that contributes to supporting healthy cholesterol levels as part of a balanced diet,” says Dr. Nadim Geloo, MD, an interventional cardiologist and the senior director of medical affairs at Abbott’s structural heart division. 

He explains that this is because bananas are high in soluble fiber, which helps reduce LDL or ‘bad’ cholesterol, manage blood pressure and remove cholesterol from the body.

Dr. Sean Mendez, MD, a cardiologist at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital and Weill Cornell Medicine, says that soluble fiber is not broken down by human digestive enzymes. This, he explains, allows it to bind to bile acids that are made from cholesterol, trapping it in the gut and preventing its usual reabsorption into the body. This process removes the cholesterol from the body, which then lowers total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.

In addition to bananas’ high soluble fiber content, bananas are naturally very low in saturated fat, which also helps support cholesterol levels.

“Bananas also contain antioxidants, including vitamin C and various phytochemicals, which help to combat oxidative stress and inflammation in the body, both of which can be linked to cholesterol-related complications,” Dr. Geloo says.

Gabrielle Gambino, RD, an advanced clinical dietitian with the advanced heart failure service at NewYork-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center, says that less-ripe bananas actually contain more fiber than super ripe ones, so to get the most soluble fiber out of the fruit, go for bananas that aren’t fully ripe yet.

Just how much does eating bananas regularly impact cholesterol? According to one scientific study, eating between 250 and 500 grams of bananas a day (about the size of one large banana) for 12 weeks improved the ratio of LDL to HDL cholesterol by 11%, which is pretty significant for one food!

While bananas are a heart-healthy food, Gambino warns against eating them excessively because they contain a high amount of natural sugar. Like most foods, it’s best to eat bananas in moderation, not having more than one a day.

What To Pair With Your Banana To Maximize Its Benefits

As you can see, bananas support cholesterol levels in several key ways. While you will reap the benefits by simply peeling the banana and eating it as-is, there are foods you can pair your banana with so you can get even more heart-healthy benefits.

“To create a breakfast or snack that further supports healthy cholesterol levels when paired with a banana, consider adding foods rich in soluble fiber, healthy fats and antioxidants,” Dr. Geloo tells Parade. For example, he says that pairing a banana with oatmeal is a way to get even more benefits because oatmeal is also high in soluble fiber and can help lower LDL cholesterol. 

Dr. Geloo reveals that eating bananas with nuts is another heart-healthy combination.

“Nuts are renowned for their healthy fats, which can actively contribute to a slight lowering of LDL cholesterol. Also, their rich content of fiber, protein and other vital nutrients supports overall cardiovascular function and helps maintain healthy blood vessels,” he says. 

You can also combine your banana and nuts with Greek yogurt and other fruit for another heart-healthy breakfast.

“Combining bananas with Greek yogurt, fresh berries and a sprinkle of nuts or seeds creates a breakfast or snack that is both satisfying and conducive to optimal cholesterol levels,” Dr. Geloo says.

He explains that the Greek yogurt provides protein and can serve as a base for other cholesterol-lowering ingredients, while the added fruits and nuts bring their respective fiber and antioxidant benefits to the mix.

Small steps, like incorporating bananas into your diet more, can go a long way in supporting your cholesterol. Makes it a pretty appealing snack choice, wouldn’t you say?

Camryn Manheim skyrocketed to fame in the '90s on the ABC series The Practice, but we barely recognized her in a new red carpet appearance.

Manheim, 65, played Ellenor Frutt on The Practice, which followed a group of Boston lawyers as they navigated their lives and loves amid their complex careers. The actress won an Emmy in 1998 for best supporting actress in a drama series, and went viral for her “This is for all the fat girls!” Emmy speech. 28 years later, the actress hit the red carpet at the Women's Guild Cedars-Sinai 2026 Spring Luncheon at The Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Sporting a chic navy-and-white suit, we did a double-take before realizing it was Manheim. With that smile, she's beautiful at any size!

Manheim's Son is a Rising Star

Camryn's son, Milo Manheim, 25, is a rising star. Known for the Disney Channel original movie Zombies and its subsequent sequels, he took an interest in the industry thanks to his mom.

“I grew up on set with my mom and I love the fact that we can have deep conversations about the craft of acting. It’s one of the things that really connects us, one of our deepest passions," he told PEOPLE in 2024. “She’s a single mom. I’m an only child. I spent the first 18 years of my life with her every day. What makes our connection so special is that we’re both willing to put in the work and that we have spent so many years actively working on our relationship…. We make each other better, bottom line.”

Back in March, he honored his mom for her birthday with a sweet post.

"I’ve said this many times and will say it many more…but it’s no coincidence your birthday falls on International Women’s Day. Thank you for including me when you’re fighting injustice and for teaching me everything I know. I love you🤍," Milo wrote.

As even the most casual consumers are likely to know, Dubai Chocolate remains a highly sought-after trend among common shoppers, be it in the form of a Dubai Chocolate Latte or an entire dessert cake based off the popular flavor.

With the trendy item continuing to remain in demand, Sam's Club is releasing their own bakery item inspired by the craze surrounding Dubai Chocolate, as seen through the company's brand-new Dubai Cake.

According to multiple food bloggers across social media, Sam's Club has recently rolled out a new 10-inch Dubai Style Chocolate Mousse Cake, complete with delicious kataifi topping, white chocolate curls and a generous drizzle of chocolate syrup.

Featuring a base of chocolate mousse and decadent chocolate cake, the new Dubai Cake currently retails for around $22.74. While some shoppers have balked at the price of the new treat, many felt the dish nevertheless lived up to the hype surrounding its basis in Dubai Chocolate, appealing to longtime fans of the unique flavor.

"I’m still obsessed with all things Dubai," one shopper wrote on Instagram.

"The Dubai trend will never die for me!" agreed another user.

On the flip side of the coin, some shoppers are beginning to express a slightly less enthusiastic response about the new bakery item, having been a bit burnt out by the continued craze for Dubai Chocolate.

However, it's worth nothing that these more ambivalent users said that, when done right, a worthwhile Dubai Chocolate dessert can help set itself apart from the numerous other brands attempting to cash in on the flavor's popularity.

"My household is still obsessed, but not all Dubai Chocolate desserts are made equal," one account wrote. "Liking this price point so far... hopefully the taste is just as good."

Peri Gilpin, who won our hearts as Roz on Frasier, looks more stunning than ever in a rare red carpet appearance.

The acclaimed actress, 64, skyrocketed to fame in the role of Roz, Dr. Frasier Crane's sassy radio station colleague on the beloved NBC series, which ran from 1993 to 2004. Starring alongside Kelsey Grammer, David Hyde Pierce, John Mahoney, and Jane Leeves, Gilpin became a TV staple in the long-running series. When it ended, she went on to appear in the ABC Family drama Make It or Break It, and even reprised her Frasier role in the reboot from 2023 to 2024.

Not one to hit every red carpet, Gilpin attended the Women's Guild Cedars-Sinai 2026 Spring Luncheon at The Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. It's hard to believe it's been 22 years since the original series concluded, because she managed to look younger than she did on the show!

How Did Gilpin Feel About Bringing Roz Back?

When the time came to bring back Frasier for the reboot, Gilpin didn't seem to hesitate one bit. In an interview with Screen Rant, the actress shared that Roz was her favorite character to play. In fact, she had a hunch she might end up playing Roz again.

"It's so fun. It's a dream. I always sort of weirdly thought I might play Roz again. I don't know why. And it feels so good to revisit that character. It's my favorite character I've ever played," Gilpin shared. "I love all the things about her and I love playing her at this age and finding out what's going on in her life now. It's so fun."

What's Gilpin Up to These Days?

With the Frasier reboot done, Gilpin has teamed up with someone special in her life: her daughter. Last year, the actress and her daughter, Ava Vincent, an accomplished graphic designer, joined the producing team for Jo - The Little Women Musical.

"Theater has always been my first love," said Gilpin in a release. "So Ava and I are thrilled to come on board the producing team of Jo - The Little Women Musical. This legendary story has resonated for families for years, and the beautiful and creative score of this new stage adaptation will help introduce this tale to new generations. We see such amazing potential in the show and are excited to see where it goes next!"

Following their 2026 Netflix film Apex, Charlize Theron and Baltasar Kormákur are teaming up for another thriller.

The upcoming film, Six Clean Kills, is an adaptation of Stan Parish’s unpublished novel of the same name. Sources told Deadline that Kormákur is set to direct and produce the film for Universal Pictures, while Theron is “set to produce with an eye to star.” Parish will adapt the screenplay.

While the plot for the book and movie is under wraps, Deadline reported that Theron will produce the film through her production company, Secret Menu. Alongside partners Beth Kono and AJ Dix, her recent projects include Into the Fire: The Lost Daughter and The Quiet Tenant.

Theron and Kormákur released Apex on April 24, which debuted at No. 1 on the global English film list. Theron, who starred in the film, recently took to social media to express her gratitude for Netflix.

“You made hanging off this cliff so worth while,” Theron posted on Instagram. “Thank you for making @netflix APEX your number one film.”

Deadline reported that Theron has been attached to the Six Clean Kills project for some time, discussing what she and Kormákur could do next.

“Six Clean Kills felt like the perfect follow-up [to Apex],” Deadline said. “Though sources say the film is still in development as Theron is currently shooting the Amazon MGM Studios thriller Tyrant while Kormákur is currently in production on the Netflix pic The Big Fix starring Mark Wahlberg and Riz Ahmed."

Tyrant will star Demi Moore alongside Theron and Julia Garner. Based on a story written by David Weil and Cody Behan, the film will be shot in Los Angeles and released by Amazon MGM Studios.

While Six Clean Kills and Tyrant are in the works, Theron and Kormákur’s film Apex is now streaming on Netflix.

As the Golden Globes prepare for their 84th awards show in January, they’re laying out new rules for the use of artificial intelligence.

In their new submission guidelines, the Golden Globes state that the use of artificial intelligence or GenAI “does not automatically disqualify submissions.” However, this is only if “human creative direction, artistic judgement, and authorship remain primary throughout the production process.”

“All submitted work will be evaluated based on the extent to which creative direction, artistic decision-making, and execution originate from credited individuals,” the award rules state. “AI and similar technologies may be used as part of the production process in the manner described below, but may not replace the core creative contributions of human talent.”

The guidelines continue, “With any use of AI, Golden Globes Eligibility Committee will review the submission and eligibility determination process and may request additional information or materials to assess the role in the creation of the work. Failure to provide requested information in a timely manner may result in ineligibility.”

However, for actors, they’ll only be eligible for performance awards if their performance remains “fundamentally human-driven and under the creative control of the credited performer.”

“Additionally, submissions may not include performances generated through the unauthorized use of a performer’s digital likeness, voice replication, or biometric data, whether or not the performer is otherwise credited,” the awards rules continued.

The AI guidelines ended with a note, stating that “all determinations made by the Golden Globes Eligibility Committee regarding awards eligibility in connection with the use of AI are final.”

The submission website for the Golden Globes will open on June 1, and the nominations will be announced on December 7. The show will be on January 10, 2027, airing on CBS and streaming on Paramount+, with Nikki Glaser hosting for the third year in a row.

According to Sporked, multiple shoppers have reported seeing cans of Italian Meatballs Pringles in their local supermarkets. While it's still not clear which grocery suppliers in particular are carrying the new chips, Shaw's has the item listed on their official website, making it one of the first providers to stock up on the new chip.

Interestingly, and as Sporked pointed out, the new flavor hasn't been accompanied by a formal announcement from Pringles, with the item simply popping up in stores without an official press release detailing the product.

However, judging from the basic flavor profile featured on the product's label, Pringles' Italian Meatballs are likely to model itself after traditional home-cooked meatballs, incorporating notes of meat, basil and tomato sauce.

"There’s also the smallest suggestion of spaghetti peeking out of the bowl on its cover art, but given that most spaghetti, in its plain form, doesn’t taste of much at all, this probably isn’t going to be the presiding note," Sporked highlighted.

Of course, the new Italian Meatballs Pringles isn't the only new chip flavor to arrive from the beloved snack brand. Earlier this year, the company confirmed the best-selling Spicy Loaded Nachos will be available throughout the summer, mainly to coincide with the upcoming World Cup.

Combining notes of nacho cheese, jalapenos and other savory ingredients, the Spicy Loaded Nachos are the perfect snack to enjoy for any sporting event, be it the World Cup or simply watching the next baseball game from the comfort of your living room.

Lisa Vanderpump is making her case for her reality TV immortality—and she's including three other legends.

During a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, the longtime Bravo star, 65, was asked who belongs on reality television’s "Mount Rushmore". Naturally, her answers included a mix of reality TV royalty, including one choice that wasn't human.

"I've done four, five hundred episodes of reality television. Maybe I should be there?" Vanderpump joked, referring to her decades-long run in unscripted TV.

It’s hard to argue with that! Vanderpump's résumé is hefty and impressive, first entering the reality scene on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. From there, she launched her own hit spinoff, Vanderpump Rules and appeared on competition and lifestyle series including Dancing with the Stars, Overserved with Lisa Vanderpump and Vanderpump Villa.

Of course, Vanderpump's reality TV Mount Rushmore didn’t stop there.

Her next pick was Giggy (RIP), her tiny Pomeranian who became an unexpected Bravo icon during his years appearing alongside Vanderpump on Real Housewives and Vanderpump Rules.

"He was on many episodes, and he was beloved," she said of the pup, who died in 2020. The dog remains one of the most recognizable pets in reality TV history, often dressed in miniature outfits and frequently stealing scenes from the humans around him.

Vanderpump also gave a spot to Kim Kardashian, citing the reality superstar’s undeniable influence on the genre.

Kardashian, 45, rose to fame on Keeping Up with the Kardashians, the massively successful family reality series that premiered in 2007 and helped redefine celebrity culture in the social media era. She has since expanded her reality TV empire with Hulu’s The Kardashians while building businesses in fashion, beauty and shapewear.

For her final pick, Vanderpump chose longtime friend and fellow reality TV legend, Sharon Osbourne.

"My mate," she said of Osbourne, 73, who became a reality TV pioneer thanks to MTV’s The Osbournes. The show followed her family’s chaotic home life in the early 2000s and became one of the network’s defining reality hits. Osbourne later built a second career as a television personality and host on shows including The Talk and America's Got Talent.

Before Goldfinger, Casino Royale and Skyfall became some of the franchise's most celebrated films, viewers were first introduced to Dr. No, the first ever James Bond movie that launched Sean Connery’s career to international fame

Sixty-three years ago today, the espionage action film made its theatrical release in the United States, becoming a commercial success and launching what would grow into one of cinema’s most iconic franchises.

On May 8, 1963, the film captured massive public attention with its gripping storyline, stellar cast lineup and breathtaking action sequences that made it impossible to ignore.

Directed by the renowned filmmaker Terence Young, Dr. No follows the story of agent 007, James Bond, played by Connery, who embarks on a mission to Jamaica to investigate the murder of a British agent.

During his probe, he discovers that a scientist named Dr. Julius No, played by Joseph Wiseman, was working for SPECTRE, a criminal organization with a mission to sabotage the U.S. military.

Sean Connery held at gunpoint by Jack Lord in a scene from the film 'James Bond: Dr. No', 1962.

The scientist uses a secret nuclear-powered base to interfere with U.S. rocket launches.

With the potential to threaten national security and space missions, Bond must stop Dr. No and SPECTRE from carrying out their mission.

With a modest production budget of $1 million, Dr. No achieved box office success, earning multiple times its production budget.

The domestic ticket sales reportedly earned $16 million, while international sales reached $43 million, bringing the total to an estimated $60 million at the worldwide box office.

Did you know? Sean Connery Wasn't the First Choice for James Bond

From joining bodybuilding competitions in the mid-1950s to becoming part of the chorus as his first on-screen experience, Connery managed to work his way up, landing bit parts in a number of films.

After landing his first leading role in the 1958 film Another Time, Another Place and in Anna Karenina, Connery was offered the role in Dr. No; however, he was not the first choice to play James Bond.

As cited by Gentleman’s Journal, Cary Grant, who at the time was a debonair leading man, was the producers' top choice for the role; however, he turned down the offer due to age.

Since he was in his late 50s, taking on a multi-picture deal was considered too demanding for him.

Other actors who were considered for the role were James Mason, David Niven, Richard Todd and Patrick McGoohan, but all turned the offer down.

It was the then-32-year-old rising star who took the part despite not having the polished acting style of Grant and Mason, but he saw this as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Lo and behold, Dr. No helped Connery rise to international stardom, making him the first ever James Bond actor.

After Monday night’s semifinals of American Idol, host Ryan Seacrest revealed that the Top 3 finalists heading into the finale were: Hannah Harper, Keyla Richardson and Jordan McCullough. All three have stellar voices and any one of them would be an excellent winner, but, of course, in the end, there can be only one.

After watching every episode, here are our predictions for who will win American Idol Season 24 (2026).

Who will win American Idol Season 24 in 2026?Hannah Harper

Hannah Harper has been a frontrunner from the get-go. During her audition, judge Carrie Underwood picked her as one of her favorites. Following Hannah’s performance of her original song "String Cheese" about postpartum depression, Carrie said, "You might be my favorite person that's walked through those doors,” and the former Idol winner has continued to support the country singer ever since.

Also in Hannah’s favor, she has the most social media followers, and her performances also reflect her popularity with the most views on YouTube.

One final factor that could work in her favor is the fact that she is the sole country singer in the Top 3, where both Keyla and Jordan are more in the gospel/R&B lane, which could split the vote between them. But country singers have always been very popular with American Idol voters, so that’s another added factor to Hannah’s benefit.

Jordan McCullough

Jordan, a worship leader from Tennessee, has the voice of an angel and has consistently earned high praise for his performances. He is the sole Platinum Ticket holder remaining of the three that were awarded this season, and his means a lot as it was voted on by his peers, who know talent when they hear it.

In fact, Carrie told Jordan that he has one of the best voices she has ever heard following his performance of Bonnie Raitt’s “I Can’t Make You Love Me, ” one of his two songs for his Top 5 performance.

The problem that Jordan may run into is that he has the smallest number of Instagram followers and YouTube views of the Top 3, which may result in fewer votes on his behalf.

Keyla Richardson

Like Jordan, Keyla has served as the praise and worship leader at her church, and her vocal choices are inspired by that, including her performance of “Circle of Life” from The Lion King during Disney week. After throwing her shoe [her highest form of praise], guest judge Jennifer Hudson complimented, “This song is testimony and you just performed it like your testimony.”

When it comes to social media, Keyla finds herself in between Hannah and Jordan, but as we mentioned earlier, the vote could be split between Jordan and Keyla, resulting in a win for Hannah.

Our Prediction

The bottom line is that who will win is Hannah Harper, but who should win is Jordan McCullough.

Tune in to American Idol on Monday, May 12 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC when the winner of Season 9 on ABC (Season 24 overall) will be revealed. Streams next day on Hulu.

Wondering what professional designers like to scoop up at the flea market? We were curious, too, so we polled six experts located across the country and asked what, exactly, they'll always gravitate toward without fail. It turns out that there are lots of worthwhile kinds of items to search for at the flea—below, we're detailing 12 categories that our pros insist simply can't be missed.

1. Objects Made From Natural Materials

Jamie Gasparovic always enjoys searching for pieces made from natural materials, which are key when it comes to adding texture and personality into a room. "Think handmade pottery, marble busts and brass figurines," says the founder of Studio Gaspo. "Before buying, I make sure objects are in good condition with no obvious cracks, chips or scratches."

Marya Karlton, the founder of Karlton Kelly Interiors, agrees and especially appreciates wooden boxes. "Always great to have for styling bookshelves or coffee tables, they bring a textural element that can warm up a room," she says.

2. Lamps

One can never have too many lamps, and the flea market is a great resource for finding a wide range of styles. "I have scored a few inexpensive lamps, including alabaster, that I have then had re-wired, and it's amazing how much more expensive they look when cleaned up with a new shade," Karlton says. "Splurge on a pretty new shade instead of an expensive lamp base!"

3. Books

Need some books for styling purposes? Be sure to see what's on hand at the flea market, Karlton offers. "My designer tip is to throw out the dust jackets," she says. "Often the original linen covers look great underneath and bring a lot of character and color."

4. Table Linens

Take a visit to the flea market prior to your next get together and you'll find plenty of pieces to help elevate your entertaining setup. "I like to buy cute sets of embroidered cocktail or dinner napkins, as well as tablecloths," Karlton says. "You can find nice handmade items, which can really elevate a table setting when mixed in with newer items."

5. Vintage Glassware

Speaking of hosting, don't underestimate the power of setting out a chic set of glassware the next time you invite friends over for happy hour.  Jaime Zehner, the founder of JZ Interiors, likes to look for vintage glassware while visiting flea markets, keeping her eyes peeled for coupes in particular. "This is a simple way to build a meaningful, collected bar over time, and these pieces always feel more personal than buying a full set all at once," she says.

6. Servingware

Of course, don't forget about actual serving pieces, either! "China and serviceware are at the top of my list, especially salad plates, glassware and flatware," says Cheryl Luckett, the founder of Dwell by Cheryl Interiors, whose tabletop is shown above. "I love to entertain, and layering in vintage pieces is such an easy way to elevate a tablescape."

7. Bowls and Trays

Luckett is all for decorative items that serve a function, such as bowls, trays and boxes. "They're perfect for organizing things like jewelry, perfumes or even mail and remotes, while still feeling intentional and elevated," she says. "Sometimes that looks like using a crystal dish for cotton balls in a bathroom or repurposing a vintage tray on a vanity."

8. Artwork

Shopping for artwork at the flea market is an excellent way to source one-of-a-kind pieces for less. "I tend to gravitate toward pieces that evoke a feeling; often a moody seascape or a soft floral oil painting," Zehner says. "There’s an authenticity to vintage art that’s hard to replicate, and it brings such warmth and individuality into a space."

Juliana Ghani Sullivan, the founder of G. Atelier Design, is also a fan of searching for artwork at flea markets. "I look for pieces with patina, a bit of age and sometimes a signature in the corner," she says. "You can usually tell when a piece is older by slightly faded, less saturated paint—and a bonus when you see thicker, more loose brushstrokes; it feels a little softer and more lived-in."

9. Picture Frames

Picture frames are valuable on their own even if the artwork inside of them is lacking, explains Stephanie Molster. "I gravitate toward pieces with old antiqued gold frames in particular," says the founder of Stephanie Molster Interiors. "When I swap out the original art I tend to select something more contemporary—I love the juxtaposition of the two."

10. Bud Vases

Small yet mighty, bud vases are another one of Zehner's favorite items to source at the flea. "They’re perfect for styling throughout a home, whether it’s with a single stem on a bedside table or a cluster layered into a tablescape," she says. "They add a quiet charm and are an easy way to incorporate found beauty."

11. Single Chairs

Don't be thrown off by "one-of-a-kind, one off, lonely chairs," Sullivan says. After all, "You can get a very sick cool chair for cheap since it's just a single straggler." What can you do with just one chair? There are tons of possibilities! "I love using them to create layered, slightly imperfect vignettes, like by a fireplace or placed in a bedroom corner," the designer says.

"I am always drawn to sculptural shapes or anything that feels special or different, and upholstery does not scare me since a piece can easily be redone in a new fabric."

12. Case Goods

Finally, keep in mind that flea markets aren't just for smaller items—you may very well come across case goods including cabinets and buffets while shopping, Sullivan explains. "Older pieces tend to have solid wood construction and tones that are hard to find today," she notes.

"Look for details like dovetail joints, matchbooked burl and slight imperfections...they add so much character. A little wear or a few scratches only make a piece better and help a home feel layered, comfortable, and lived in."

Baseball fans were speechless as Ronald McDonald stepped up to sing the National Anthem during a recent Minor League baseball game.

McDonald's clearly remains ever popular in modern society amid rising costs, and it's hard to believe the Big Mac debuted nearly 60 years ago. Ten years earlier, however, came a rival corporation's signature burger.

Burger King debuted the world-famous Whopper 69 years ago, and it's still going strong today. Check out an original Burger King commercial for the launch below.

The Big Mac came 10 years later, and it was actually just last month that McDonald's famed double-decked burger celebrated 59 years since it was introduced to customers. On April 22, 1967, a McDonald’s franchisee in Pennsylvania unveiled the now-iconic sandwich — for a whopping 45 cents, HISTORY.com reports.

According to former McDonald's CEO and driving force Ray Kroc, the Big Mac was created in response to the Whopper. In his autobiography, Kroc shared that the sandwich was in fact created because the company feared the Whopper. However, the creator of the Big Mac, Jim Delligatti, is said to have been alternatively inspired by a double-decker burger from a different competing chain: Big Boy, according to Tasting Table. What's the real story? We may never know...

Before the Big Mac, however, came the Whopper Jr. — which was created, by accident, in 1963 by Luis Arenas-Pérez, The Daily Meal reports. Upon the opening of the first Burger King restaurant in Carolina, Puerto Rico, the molds for the (standard) Whopper buns had not yet arrived to Puerto Rico from mainland U.S., so there were no buns to make and sell the company's flagship Whopper offering. Arenas opted for honoring the advertised opening date but using the much smaller regular hamburger buns locally available. The result was such a success that Burger King adopted it worldwide and called it the Whopper Jr.

A rare spiritual gift refers to a heightened human capacity—it’s almost like a “super-sense” or advanced awareness that feels supernatural, but that operates through innate instinct. This rare spiritual gift may manifest continuously or during specific scenarios. Those who are fortunate enough to have it, however, may often feel the pressure to develop it. This is due to the energy of birth dates being the most specific a soul chose to be exposed at the time of birth. Read on to discover which four birth dates are most likely to have rare spiritual gifts.

Which Birth Dates Have Rare Spiritual Gifts?

Below are the four birth dates that carry a rare spiritual gift, along with how to develop it. Check for birth months; disregard your birth date.

Born on the 13th: You Have the Gift of Divine Feminine Creation

Once believed to be unlucky, 13 represents sacred, divine feminine energy because it aligns with the 13 moon cycles within the calendar year. Separated into two digits, the number 1 is ruled by the Sun and the most creative of all digits, and 3 is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of abundance and protection. If you were born on the 13th of any month, you hold the power of creation, whether you express it in your career or personal life. Embracing creative flow is how you invite your inner genius to come out and play. Reduced to one digit, 13 becomes 4, a number ruled by the eccentric planet Uranus. Whenever feeling like you’re running into difficulties accessing these gifts, your best strategy is experimentation. Giving yourself space to explore with different creative paths is a great way of discovering the buried talents this rare spiritual gift has for you.

Born on the 24th: You Have the Gift of Healing

Have you ever noticed yourself either fixing or bettering a situation by just being present? Those born on the 24th of any month have the rare spiritual gift of healing. Split into two digits, 24 unites the nurturance of the number 2 (Moon) with the liberating effects of the number 4 (Uranus). Summed up, they vibrate to the number 6, bringing the restoring and loving energy of Venus. While this gift may manifest as an ability to bring peace to intense social situations, it may also work in more energetic ways. Energy healing practices like Reiki, chakra balancing, and sound healing would be a great way to develop your ability to bring flow and harmony. You may also notice meditative practices relieve nervousness and anxiety from your or someone else's aura and body.

Born on the 9th: You Have the Gift of Collective Awareness

Some have gifts that are meant to be felt on a personal level, but those born on the 9th have the rare gift of attuning to mass consciousness. Being the last one-digit number, ruled by Mars astrologically, 9 signals the accumulation of experience throughout lifetimes. Therefore, those born on the 9th of any month come with a broader outlook on life and a more social role to play. Via their intuition, they can tap into what people need, feel, and desire. Since this gift can become very powerful, it’s important to put it in service to humanity. If you were born on the 9th, you may notice having an attractor factor, especially when it comes to groups and crowds. You are meant to be a leader, and the more you channel this gift to help others, the more success you’ll find along the way.

Born on the 29th: You Have the Gift of Divination

If you were born on the 29th of any month, you have eyes that see into the ethers of time. Your rare spiritual gift manifests as an incredibly keen and all-knowing intuition that penetrates every surface. Made of the number 2 (ruled by the intuitive Moon) and 9 (ruled by driven Mars), 29 is considered to be an old soul number. Since astrologically, this is a high-energy combination, you may notice visions of both the past and the future arrive when you feel more relaxed. This is your intuitive side taking over your logical side, allowing you to see and even feel what lies beneath the surface. Since your mind responds to images, learning to read the tarot would be a great way to develop confidence in this rare spiritual gift.
