While some carriers are making headlines for scaling back their in-flight service, American Airlines is taking a different path by doubling down on the main cabin experience. Just as flyers are becoming accustomed to the fine print of service cuts elsewhere, American is rolling out a refreshed menu of elevated snacks and meals designed to make even a standard economy seat feel a bit more like a treat.

Starting May 1, American kicked off its centennial celebrations with a new Inflight Bites box that feels less like a basic snack pack and more like a curated pantry. Available for $10 (or 1,000 AAdvantage miles), the box leans into the "strategic luxury" trend with sophisticated options like gochujang beef jerky, lemon rosemary green olives and smoked Gouda spread. It's a clear move to provide something more substantial and flavorful for travelers who are looking for a step up from the usual pretzels and cookies.

The airline is also bringing a bit of local flavor to the skies through a partnership with the iconic Chicago family business, "NUTS ON CLARK." This addition brings a sense of regional personality to the snack cart, offering their famous roasted salted mixed nuts and sweet and salty kettle corn. For those who want something heartier, the airline is introducing a refreshed fruit and cheese tray for $13, featuring premium Tillamook cheeses paired with sophisticated sides like dried black figs and Bonne Maman honey.

Starting June 1, the options get even more substantial with the debut of a new turkey and Havarti sandwich. Served on artisan avocado bread with baby spinach and a caramelized onion-mustard spread, the $14 meal (or 1,400 miles) is clearly aimed at the traveler who wants a "convenient lunch or dinner option" that doesn't feel like a compromise. By allowing passengers to pay with AAdvantage miles and offering tap-to-pay technology, the airline is making it easier than ever to justify that mid-flight splurge. In a summer where many travelers are bracing for less, these "elevated" main cabin offerings are a reminder that a little extra flavor can go a long way in making a flight feel shorter.

With the imminent arrival of summer, most people can start piecing together their plans for the coming season, such as figuring out their plans for the upcoming Fourth of July.

As most consumers piece together their vacations, parties or other festive celebrations of the holiday, Dunkin' is officially getting in on the Fourth of July spirit with their new patriotic menu items.

According to a recent post on Instagram, the fan-favorite breakfast chain is rolling out five new items to celebrate the looming holiday. This new red, white and blue-inspired menu specifically includes:

• Starlight Lemonade
• Dazzleberry Coolatta
• Oreo & PB Coffee Chiller
• Stars & Stripes Donut
• Star-Shaped Rocket Pop-Filled Donut

The new menu items specifically arrive on June 24 for a limited-time at nationwide Dunkin' locations. While there's no solid timeline on how long they'll be available for, it's likely the new treats will be around until the Fourth of July season.

Of course, Dunkin's patriotic lineup is all part of the brand's overall summer menu. Starting June 3, Dunkin' is rolling out several new beverages and food items for customers to enjoy this season. These items include:

• Ultimate Pink Daydream Refresher
• Double Strawberry Daydream Refresher
• Pink Pineapple Refresher
• Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Cloud Latte
• Peach Tea Zero
• Golden BBQ Hash Brown Wake Up Wrap & Loaded Hash Browns
• Rocket Pop-Filled Donuts
• Stars & Stripes Munchkins

As with most of the brand's seasonal menus, the new lineup is likely to stick around at Dunkin' locations throughout the summer season, or while supplies last.

As expected, many fans shared an entirely positive reaction to the new assortment of treats arriving at Dunkin', with numerous users voicing their excitement across social media.

"Mmkay I'll redownload my DD app," commented one user on Instagram.

"Oh I'm all for it," agreed another account.

"THIS IS SO GOOD," echoed another equally enthusiastic shopper.

When Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi found out she was pregnant with her first kid, she and her then boyfriend (now husband) Jionni LaValle had just gotten off a bender in Las Vegas.  “We were drinking for five days straight,” she said in a video posted to her YouTube page.

“I was like, Oh my God, what are we gonna do?” she remembered. 

She was 24 and heading into Season 6 of Jersey Shore, the show that made her famous for getting wasted. “It was just like, ‘Holy s—t, now we can’t go to Vegas and party," she said. "We can’t do all the things that we were doing right now because we’re gonna be parents.’”

Still, Shooki stressed, there was no doubt in her mind that she was going to keep the baby. "I have different priorities now," she told Us Weekly in her cover reveal. "I don't care what anybody else thinks. As long as I know I'm ready and [Jionni]’s ready."

Now, almost 14 years later, she and Jionni are the proud parents of not one but three kids. Keep reading to learn more about Snooki’s family.

View this post on Instagram How many kids does Snooki have now?

Snooki has three children: Lorenzo Dominic LaValle, born Aug. 26, 2012, Giovanna Marie LaValle, born Sept. 26, 2014, and Angelo James LaValle, born May 30, 2019. 

Who is the father of Snooki’s kids? 

The 38-year-old reality star shares her three “meatballs” with husband Jionni LaValle, whom she married in November 2014, roughly two months after the birth of their second child, Giovanna. The couple met in 2010, while filming Season 3 of Jersey Shore. 

“I'm so blessed to be able to have such a loving & caring father to my beautiful children,” Snooki shared in a past Father’s Day tribute. “I'm proud of you every day for how you raise our children & respect you beyond words for being such a hands-on Dad.”

View this post on Instagram How old was Snooki when she had her first baby?

Snooki was 24 when she had her first child, Lorenzo. “[He] wasn’t planned, but he’s literally my miracle because he literally made me grow up,” she said on The Nick Cannon Show.

“Once I became a mom, I realized there’s more to life than just being selfish and partying and going crazy. I love mom life, I love my babies.”

How old was Snooki when she had her last kid? 

The New Jersey native was 31 when she welcomed her third child, Angelo. “I always wanted four [kids] and I always thought I’m gonna have four kids, but after I pushed [Angelo] out, I’m like, ‘I am done,’” she told Kelly Ripa shortly after his birth. 

Was Snooki pregnant on Jersey Shore? 

Yes. Snooki found out she was expecting her first child, Lorenzo, after filming wrapped on Season 5. By the time Season 6 rolled around in 2012, she was visibly pregnant. 

“Me pregnant and filming Jersey Shore? I wasn’t having it,” she recalled in a video posted to her YouTube page. “...I was already starting to be a good mother because I was like, ‘I don’t want my body to be in that environment of drinking and partying. I wanna be healthy. I don’t wanna be by cigarettes. I just wanna be in a little bubble so my baby is nice and protected and healthy.’”

With that in mind, MTV set her up in a separate house next door to the main cast so she could still be part of the action without being surrounded by debauchery (or woken up by Pauly D screaming, “Cabs are here!”).

“I still know how to have fun. It’s just, like, a different fun,” she said in the season premiere. “For now.” 

After Jersey Shore wrapped, Snooki starred in the spinoff Snooki & JWoww, which followed her transition into motherhood alongside Jenni 'JWoww' Farley. She welcomed Lorenzo while filming the third episode of the second season, “Last Call at Club Uterus,” which aired Jan. 22, 2013.

Who are Snooki’s kids? Lorenzo (b. Aug. 26, 2012)

Snooki’s first born was a surprise pregnancy, but a welcome one. 

“You made me a mommy at 24 years old,” she wrote on Instagram, marking Lorenzo’s 13th birthday. “You changed my entire world for the better.”

She went on to share how happy she was to show him off on the cover of People magazine after his birth. “You were already making mommy proud by being the youngest baby at 7 days old to be on the cover,” she gushed. “I’m so proud of you in everything that you do. I LOVE YOU HUNNIE.”

Although Lorenzo appeared on Snooki & JWoww as a baby, Snooki and Jionni have largely kept him — and his siblings — off TV as he’s grown up. Back in 2012, Jionni explained, “Right now, it’s fine while he’s this young. But once school starts and I think he gets a little older, I want him to branch off from that … I kinda just want him to live a normal lifestyle.”

These days, that “normal” life is packed with lots of wrestling — a sport Lorenzo’s father excelled in and coached over the years himself. 

“Gotta shout out my baby Lorenzo for killing it in wrestling!” Snooki once wrote on Instagram. “It’s in his blood, he’s my champ!”

More recently, she praised him for placing 8th in the state championships.

Snooki’s second child, whom she often refers to as her “mini-me,” arrived two years after big brother Lorenzo. 

“So happy to let you know we had our beautiful daughter this morning,” Snooki shared on Twitter at the time. “Full head of black hair & perfect.” 

Giovanna has followed in her mother’s footsteps as an all-star cheerleader, competing on a team recognized as NCA & SUMMIT champions. Naturally, that has made Snooki a "proud pom-pom mom” who posts often about her daughter’s accomplishments.

Celebrating her only daughter’s 11th birthday, she wrote on Instagram, “You are everything & more of the daughter I’ve always dreamed of having. Beautiful, smart, sassy, caring, nca & summit champ (lol) , the best sister & my best friend. I love you so much my queen. Keep crushing life & making your family proud.”

Snooki revealed that she was expecting her tiniest meatball on Thanksgiving 2018. 

View this post on Instagram

“What I’m thankful for this Thanksgiving,” she wrote alongside a photo of her two older children holding an ultrasound picture. 

She’d previously revealed on Season 1 of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation that she and Jionni were trying for Baby No. 3, and wondered after a long stretch of drinking if she might already be pregnant. 

“I never throw up,” she said. “So I’m like, okay, me and Jionni are trying to have a baby — maybe I’m pregnant.”

Her pregnancy test came back negative, but it wasn’t long before she was, in fact, expecting. 

View this post on Instagram

Celebrating her youngest son’s birthday last year, she wrote, “Happy birthday to my baby 😩😩 idk how you’re 6 all of a sudden but you are MY BABY forever 💙 you completed our family my munchkin. Even though you have daddy’s face, you’re a meatball like mommy.”

View this post on Instagram Why is Snooki having a hysterectomy?

In February 2026, Snooki revealed that she had been diagnosed with stage 1 cervical adenocarcinoma. It was caught early thanks to a cone biopsy she underwent after dealing with abnormal Pap smear results for years. Because it was detected so soon, her doctors are optimistic about her prognosis and that she won’t need chemotherapy. But as part of treatment, she’s planning to undergo a hysterectomy. 

“I'm not great with pain, so thinking about removing an organ is scary,” she told People. “That's a part of being a woman and even though I'm done having kids, the thought of not being able to really upset me. It messes with you a little bit.”

Another emotionally taxing part of the experience? Telling her kids she was sick. "My two oldest were like, 'Are you dying?'” she recalled. “Because they know what cancer is, it scared them a little bit. But I was reassuring them like, 'No, mommy's gonna be fine.'"

With just two episodes to go, it was always hard to see how Outlander was going to be able to wrap everything up. Well, one of the best ways to tackle that was to spend an hour purely on one storyline. That meant an entire episode focused on Jamie, Claire, and William saving Lord John Grey from Captain Richardson, who had captured him at the end of the previous installment.

While Jamie and William took care of the men watching over John, Claire was able to tackle the Richardson problem, and it came with a surprising time-travel reveal. That reveal was something written in the books, and while the ending is the show’s own, it could be how Diana Gabaldon wraps some of this tale.

Richardson’s Story Was Revealed in ‘Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone’

During Outlander’s ninth book, readers learned that Captain Richardson is a time traveler. He has come from the future in an attempt to change the past. Don’t they all?

At the heart of it, his intentions are good. He wants to help the British win the war so that slavery is abolished much earlier. During Outlander Season 8 Episode 9, he explained to Claire that it’s because his ancestor was a slave and got pregnant by her master, and he wanted to prevent that from happening so that she could be a free woman.

That’s not the full story as in the books, but part of that is likely because he hasn’t had a chance to really explain everything just yet. We do know, however, that he has come from the future to end slavery, and he thinks that Hal is the way to do that. He just needs Hal to change the speech that he’s going to give to the House of Lords.

The ‘Outlander’ Books Have a Potential Plastic Surgery Plot

It’s possible that the TV show is just quickly wrapping up Richardson’s story. As Claire allows him to leave to give him a chance to change the war, Lord John Grey shoots him in the head, instantly killing him. In the novels, that’s possibly not the full storyline.

When Brianna saw a crude drawing of Richardson, she noted that he looked a little like a man she knew from 1980s, Mike Callahan. It’s possible that Callahan was able to time travel, and maybe he got plastic surgery before time traveling so that he could blend in the past and get to Jemmy.

This does seem like a bit of a cartoonish plot for Gabaldon’s story, and it doesn’t quite fit in with the wish to prevent slavery. It’s yet unclear whether Callahan and Richardson are the same person, but the TV show has definitely made the decision not to run with that at all!

“Pharos” was the penultimate episode of Outlander this Friday, and it was full of reconciliation scenes – after the action took place – and the action was the rescue of Lord John Grey (David Berry) from his kidnapper, Captain Richardson (Ben Lambert).

Richardson was a time traveler like Claire Fraser (Caitríona Balfe) who had come up with this plan to kidnap Lord John in order to blackmail his brother Hal Grey (Sam Hoare) into changing a speech he was to make in front of the House of Lords. Hal was about to pontificate on setting America free, but Richardson wanted him to ask for more funds for the war effort to keep America as part of England.

The reason was personal. Richardson was the great, great grandson of a woman who had been a slave and he wanted to end slavery in America 85 years sooner than actually happened. King George was about to sign an anti-slavery bill which would go into effect in all the British colonies, and Richardson wanted that for the United States.

We learned all this after Jamie (Sam Heughan), William (Charles Vandervaart) and Claire tracked down the location where Lord John was being held by threatening Percy (Michael Lindall). While the men freed Lord John, Claire captured Richardson. Then she and he had a chat and she tried to explain to him that history couldn’t be changed. He didn’t quite believe her, but he promised not to hurt anyone else and she set him free. But as he was leaving, he ran into Lord John, who was so angry at Richardson, he killed him. He wasn’t just angry at what Richardson had done to him, but what he had previously done to William that almost got him killed.

Gabaldon loved the reconciliations (not-so-much the fashion)

Fans of bestselling author Diana Gabaldon, who created the Outlander series of time-travel, romantic novels, wrote this episode, but she explained to us that every script goes through at least half a dozen versions before filming starts. And even while they’re filming for a variety of reasons, so not everything we see on the screen came from her imagination.

Like me, she did enjoy the reconciliations between Lord John and William, between Jamie and Lord John, and between William and Jamie.

“I thought the long hug between William and Jamie was slightly anti-climactic, given the very dramatic (and very good) embrace in the trout stream near the end of 808. Though the apparent motive there was to absolve Jamie for deliberately deserting William at Helwater,” Gabaldon said.

“My only quibble with the 808 scene was that Jamie was wearing his good clothes (nice coat, formal pleated kilt, rather than a belted plaid, which a Scotsman would normally wear for daily work) and — God help us — knee-length leather boots to fish. I kept thinking (silently, to Sam), ‘Man, I hope you didn't trip over a rock in any of those takes...’). I mean, the thought of so much waterlogged wool cloth, to say nothing of ruining the boots. He would, in real life, be fishing barefoot (for better balance, as well as preservation of expensive footwear) and in his long shirt, tied between his legs. But directors and costume designers have their own opinions. That water's cold! Anyway, this hug was fine, too, as the point was evidently now William admitting their father/son relationship.”

The reconciliation between William and Jamie was also helped by a conversation between Claire and William later in the episode, in which she points out to him how many people he knows – herself, Brianna (Sophie Skelton), and Roger (Richard Rankin) – who were raised by two fathers, which he seemed to take to heart.

Gabaldon highlights key changes from the book — including Percy's death

But that wasn’t the only reunion. Despite Jamie coordinating the rescue of Lord John, he still felt it necessary to apologize to him for how he had been treating him since he found out he bedded Claire. But in a nice twist, John doesn’t forgive him “for the pigheaded treatment for the last 2 years.” Jamie admitted that pride kept him from seeing clearly, and he offered to let John take a swing at him. But John was more civilized, and instead they played chess, just like they used to do at Ardsmuir.

“I thought the chess-game rapprochement (and the relationship leading up to it) was very good, given the limited time,” Gabaldon said. “It re-establishes John and Jamie's relationship in a totally non-sexual (but still intimate — mind to mind) way, making it clear that they will continue to have a relationship (in the books, it's mostly done by letter).”

What also took place that wasn’t in the books was that John confronted Percy and made him sign a confession that he was part of a scheme to kidnap him and malign his reputation. Percy balked at signing, but Lord John said, “It’s your signature or blood.” And he laid a pistol on the table between them. Percy did sign, but then, as Lord John left, a shot rang out.

“Percy doesn't commit suicide at all in the books (anybody who'd been reading the books would likely realize that Percy is way too selfish to ever commit suicide),” Gabaldon pointed out. But she also said it was a nice way of wrapping up a loose end.

What she didn’t know the answer to was whether or not Marsali (Lauren Lyle) had already made a deal with Percy to get the Comte St. Germaine’s money for her family now that Fergus was dead, which was what I wondered, but we may never know, as there's just one episode left and it needs to deal with more important matters.

A new book claims that Kate Middleton was asked to change the spelling of her name ahead of her 2011 wedding to Prince William.

The request reportedly came from King Charles and his wife, Camilla Parker Bowles, claims royal author Christopher Anderson. His latest deep dive into the royal family is called Kate! The Courage, Grace, and Power of the Woman Who Will Be Queen.

According to Marie Claire, the future Princess of Wales was asked to change the first letter of her name. Although most Americans know the princess as Kate, her preferred and legal name is Catherine.

The reason, according to Marie Claire, is that Charles and Camilla, then the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall at the time of the couple’s wedding, were using a royal monogram featuring two interlocking “C”s beneath a coronet. Charles was said to believe that another "C" monogram was too similar to the senior royal's logo.

Marie Claire excerpted commentary from Anderson's book. He wrote that, "'Catherine' was asked to change her name to 'Katherine,' which Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, felt was a logical progression since the world knew her as 'Kate.'" Reportedly this request didn't sit well with either Kate or her husband-to-be William.

Anderson’s claim was first brought to public attention by William's brother, Prince Harry, in his 2023 memoir Spare, as reported by PEOPLE Magazine. The Duke of Sussex was reportedly shocked by his father's suggestion.

"Make it Katherine with a K, they suggested,” Harry said in the book. The Duke of Sussex was reportedly dumbfounded. “I turned to Willy, gave him a look that said, ‘You listening to this?’ His face was blank.”

The name change did not occur. Kate and William married in April 2011, and their royal monogram remained as planned.

Prince William regularly refers to his wife as Catherine in interviews. She is also known by that name in official royal communications.

After KJ Dillard read West Wilson’s apology text aloud on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Summer House stars Carl Radke and Kyle Cooke shared their reactions to messages he also sent them.

Both admitted to still being in disbelief that Kyle's estranged wife, Amanda Batula, got into a romantic relationship with West, someone Kyle considered a close friend.

"West did text me last week," Kyle told Access Hollywood. "I sent him a voice memo because I felt like it was going to take forever for me to put words down. I mean, look, I'm not the kind of guy that holds grudges. Obviously, this is a very unfortunate situation. I mean, I don't think people really realized just how close we were. So it's just tough."

Kyle continued by saying how the situation is "uncharted territory for me." And "obviously I've never gone through something like this, but obviously I don't even think I have a friend who's gone through something like this, so I don't know what the protocol is. I don't know what the playbook is."

Beyond the shocking coupling, Kyle said he was still grappling with the end of his marriage. "I was just kind of at peace with not really trying to tell my side of the story and it just is what it is," he reflected. "Now that all this, you know, the rumors were confirmed and all that stuff, in a weird way, I've tried to be there for Amanda. Just 'cause I know her mental state and just how fragile she is, and the reunion was tough with West and Amanda."

Kyle added that while he showed support for Amanda early in the scandal, he also didn't want to become her crutch either. "So I'm just trying to find that balance," he said.

Meanwhile, Carl said, unlike Kyle, he's not ready to respond to West, especially after West rekindled his friendship and possible romantic relationship with Ciara Miller.

"From what I know of what's going on and how he's kind of handling it and how I handle things, I've also been a s—–y person and done stupid things," Carl said. "But I also like really, really care how I make people feel, and part of me worries that I don't think he fully understands the impact of some of this, and we've been over this many times with him, with Ciara and everything, many dinner tables on camera, many seasons, and here we are again. So I don't have a lot of grace for some of it, but I hope he's doing OK. I wish him well, but I can't really hold space for someone like that."

Summer House is on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on Bravo.

New information about the Nancy Guthrie case is raising questions about what the family told authorities early on in the investigation.

In the latest video uploaded to Brian Entin's YouTube channel, Brian Entin Investigates, Entin spoke with Pima County Sergeant Aaron Cross about the case. Entin asked Cross about the family making it clear that Guthrie did not wander away from home, which Savannah Guthrie said during an interview with Hoda Kotb.

"That's not the information that I gathered today," Cross told Entin. "[I heard] that the family believed that she was out there...that she had walked away."

"It's hard to say when people are under stress, they're obviously very worried about their mother, I imagine. And so maybe they were hoping for the best, that she was just nearby...it's hard to say," Cross added.

In her interview with Kotb, Savannah stated that she and her siblings initially wondered if Nancy had a medical emergency in the overnight hours and that the paramedics came and transported her to a nearby hospital. However, after calling nearby hospitals, they concluded that whatever happened to Nancy did not involve a 911 call.

Savannah said that her sister, Annie Guthrie, and brother-in-law Tommaso Cioni, made it clear that Nancy couldn't have just walked away from home.

"From the early moments, Annie and Tommy were saying 'this isn't the case that you are used to where someone wanders off. She can't wander off,'" Savannah said. She went on to say that her mother was in "tremendous pain" and she couldn't walk long distances—barely able to make it to the mailbox at her home.

About two weeks into the case, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos released a statement clearing the immediate family (including their spouses) of any involvement in Nancy's disappearance. Nevertheless, Sgt. Cross' recent comments about the case has left social media users with more questions.

Nancy, 84, has been missing since Feb. 1. Anyone with information about her whereabouts or what might have happened to her is asked to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

On this day 33 years ago, one of the biggest rock bands in history finally achieved an exciting milestone in their career as their latest album became the first to reach No. 1. The band in question was Aerosmith.

Despite first forming in 1970, it took the band, which currently consists of members Steven Tyler, Tom Hamilton, Joey Kramer, Joe Perry, and Brad Whitford, over two decades to finally top the charts in America, and they did it with the record Get A Grip. Although the album was released on April 20, 1993, it wasn't until the next month, on May 8, that it reached the top position on the Billboard chart. It ended up being one of the group's best-selling albums ever.

The album wasn't just a chart-topper in the U.S. either, as it also hit No. 1 in Finland and Switzerland. In other countries that included Canada, the Netherlands, Austria, Australia, the U.K., and more, Get A Grip got into the Top 3 on the album charts.

Get A Grip had quite a few official singles in the U.S. and U.K., including "Livin' on the Edge," "Eat the Rich," "Cryin'," "Amazing," "Crazy," and "Shut Up and Dance." The new music from Aerosmith made a huge impact on music lovers everywhere, and they ended up earning two Grammy Awards for songs on the album in two different years.

"Livin' on the Edge" won the Grammy for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1993, while "Crazy" won the same award in 1994.

At the time of the album's release, the band made it clear that they felt like it wasn't even their best work. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Hamilton declared, "We didn’t, and still don’t, feel like we’ve done the Aerosmith album that we know we can do."

"We’re really proud of what we’ve done up till now, but every time you get to the end of recording an album, you know you can do it better so you get really hungry for the next time," he went on.

After Get A Grip, Aerosmith went on to release the albums Nine Lives, Just Push Play, Honkin' on Bobo, and Music from Another Dimension!

Jenni Farley, known as "JWoww" in the series's earliest seasons, isn't ready to say goodbye just yet. “I’m not even going to say goodbye. It’s like, ‘I’ll see you later.’”

“I’m glad that it’s ending the way that it is. Don’t get me wrong, would I have loved one or two more? For sure. I’m always up for another one.”

It’s definitely bittersweet — we knew this day was going to come eventually,” said Nicole Polizzi, affectionately known as "Snooki."

Mike Sorrentino, known as “The Situation,” whose life journey has been documented on the series, from his incarceration for tax evasion and past struggles with addiction, is channeling his experiences into a new sense of purpose and direction post-Jersey Shore.

“I want to help people write their comeback story,” he told NYT. “I’m using the love that I’ve earned over the past 17 years in America’s living rooms, and I take that love very seriously.”

Jersey Shore creator, Sallyann Salsano, believes that although this iteration of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation is ending, there is still more "gas in the tank" for the series. She told the outlet, "We all read the same articles about what’s going on in the industry. But I think there’ll be another life for the show. Because there has to be; the fans are too loyal.”

Salsano believes that even as a standalone series without MTV's backing, the show would continue in some form. “If we wanted to make the show, I think we’d all work together to make the show,” she concluded.

Some cast members appear to feel the same way. In March, Polizzi shared a video clip on Instagram where the group spoke out about the show's cancellation.

The clip was captioned, "Legends don’t retire — they reroute. The network changed. The legacy didn’t. Jersey Shore is forever. Just wait until you see what’s next."

The series airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET on MTV.

Valerie Bertinelli is reflecting on a heartbreaking turning point in her marriage to Eddie Van Halen, opening up about the emotional toll of watching his health decline. In a candid interview with Ted Danson, Bertinelli recalled becoming increasingly frustrated and concerned over Van Halen's smoking and other coping habits following his cancer diagnosis.

"I was so angry with him," Bertinelli said on the May 6 episode of SiriusXM’s Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast. "At one point, we were still together, and he had surgery to cut off part of his tongue. And the doctor said, 'You know this is because you smoke, right?' And I was like, 'Ed, God, you better stop smoking.' Yeah. 'Just stop smoking. I don't even care about the alcohol anymore. Just stop smoking.'"

"It was hard. It was hard for him. He used a lot of different tools that were soothing but harmful for his body. A lot of us use different tools in our toolbox for trauma that numb ignore any kind of feelings we don't wanna feel..." she continued.

Van Halen was diagnosed with tongue cancer in 2000. Following surgery to remove part of his tongue, he was cancer free by 2002. About a decade later, he was treated for throat cancer and, in 2017, he had been diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. He died three years later—at the age of 65—following a stroke.

"I loved Ed more than I know how to explain," Bertinelli wrote in her book, Enough Already: Learning to Love the Way I Am Today, according to People. "I loved his soul."

Also in her book, Bertinelli shared one of the last conversations she had with Van Halen before he died. "Maybe next time. Maybe next time, we'll get it right," she told him.

If your ideal girls’ trip involves less time navigating crowded malls and more time catching up over a bottle of champagne in your robe, the Shinola Hotel—Detroit’s only Michelin Key property—just delivered the ultimate itinerary upgrade.

Through a new partnership called Curated by Coup, the hotel has essentially turned its guest suites into private, high-end trunk shows. By tapping into Coup D'état, a Detroit East Side boutique that The New York Times recently named one of the "50 Best Clothing Stores in America," they’ve created a way to experience the city's best style without ever leaving your floor.

The Ultimate Trunk Show in Your Suite

Shinola Hotel

For a group of friends celebrating a milestone or a "Solo Social" traveler looking for a stylish getaway, this is a new breed of "room service" that feels like a total dream. "Our goal is to give guests elevated access to high end fashion through a locally rooted lens," says Jacob Dondzila, General Manager at Shinola Hotel. "Coup D'état was the perfect fit, the most fashion-forward boutique in the city, carrying pieces by top global brands and Detroit-based designers too."

The real magic happens when the Coup D'état team arrives at your suite to set up a private showroom tailored specifically to your group’s taste. You can try on pieces from cult-favorite designers like Sandy Liang and Eckhaus Latta, or discover local Detroit gems like Detroit Rose, all while enjoying a professional styling session in the comfort of your room. "You can even book a Shoppable Suite and have Coup's team come directly to you, setting up a private showroom tailored to your taste, styling you alongside what you've already packed," Dondzila explains. "For a group celebrating together, that's a shared moment, not just a service and it's what turns a great stay into an exceptional one."

If you realize you need a last-minute "statement piece" for a big dinner out, you can order an outfit change straight to your door. You can even browse the boutique's roster online before you check in and have your selection waiting in your closet when you arrive. According to Dondzila, the response to this seamless access has been immediate. "The response has been overwhelmingly positive. Guests are excited to find this level of fashion access built into their stay," he notes. "The collaboration feels natural because both brands share the same values of community, quality and a deep connection to Detroit."

A New Chapter for Detroit Style

The partnership reflects a broader movement in travel where access is becoming the primary amenity. As Evelina Chiang of Vantage X points out, modern luxury is about "feeling taken care of" and removing the "heavy lifting" of travel. Guests, especially those celebrating a milestone, are seeking an experience that feels completely personal. By bringing a homegrown boutique directly to the guests, Shinola is offering a shortcut to the city’s heart. "Local credibility, exceptional taste and a shared commitment to this community made this partnership a natural fit," says Dondzila. It turns a standard shopping trip into a shared social event, allowing you to spend less time in transit and more time enjoying the convivial energy of a well-earned weekend away.

It takes a special kind of person to open their heart and home to a pet. Shopping for the perfect pet is tempting, but there’s no greater joy than adopting. Adopting one of the many dogs, cats, or other creatures will appeal to many. However, there are four birth months who will always give a rescue dog, cat, or furry friend a forever home. People born in one of these four months are the best pet parents. They have the altruistic personalities, tender hearts, and willingness that aligns with rescuing animals. Some of these birth months want to change an animal’s life by taking them in, while other birth months cannot picture their life without this animal in it. Although each birth month has their differences, they can all agree that their rescue pets are just what their families and homes needed. 

Is your birth month likely to give a rescue pet a forever home? Read on to discover which birth months rescue their pets and why they’ve chosen to take their furbaby home.

Which Birth Months Are Most Likely to Give a Rescue Pet a Home?

Check for the month you were born for pro insights.

February: Rescue Pets Deserve a Second Chance

Is there anything better than giving a rescue another chance? People born in February feel strongly about extending their hearts and homes to animals most would overlook. February-born are a wonderful mix of humanitarian Aquarius and compassionate Pisces, so they understand that all pets deserve a second chance. The rescue animals who have been brought back to shelters or deemed unadoptable don’t deter February. Individuals with this birth month strongly believe they can provide the love, care, and shelter a rescue needs. They’re more than willing to give the pet nobody wants a forever home, because February won’t give up on their furbabies. 

May: Foster Fails are Inevitable 

May will say they didn’t choose their pets, but that their pets choose them. Individuals born during this month want to be in control thanks to their Taurus side, but their Gemini side encourages open-mindedness. They may have gone into fostering intending to help their local shelter and do good. As time went on, May slowly but surely realized that this rescue pet wasn't going anywhere. People with this birth month are known for having “foster fails”, because they cannot bear to part with their rescue pets. May could never imagine their life or home without their pet once their bond is established.

Cavit is giving fans a reason to cheer with a limited-time deal on select wines—and we’re spilling all the refreshing details.

In honor of the popular Italian winemaker's 50th anniversary, and just in time to celebrate National Pinot Grigio Day, Cavit is offering a throwback deal that discounts its Pinot Grigio to that of its original 1970s price after rebate.

"Bringing Cavit Pinot Grigio back to its original 1970s price is a meaningful way for us to celebrate this milestone with consumers," the brand told Parade via email. "This promotion gives both longtime fans and new consumers an opportunity to engage with the brand in a way that feels nostalgic, accessible and timely."

Cavit Celebrates 50th Anniversary With 1970s Pinto Grigio Prices

If you're new to Cavit, it's actually short for Cantina Viticoltori Trentino (a wine cooperative made up of 11 wineries and over 5,000 family growers in Trentino, located in the foothills of Northern Italy). The brand debuted in 1976 and was introduced nationally by 1977. Fast forward nearly 50 years, the company says its products "remains the #1 Italian Pinot Grigio in the US."

"This anniversary offer is both a celebration of our heritage and a thank you to the loyal fans who have made Cavit a household name for nearly five decades," Marc D. Taub, president and CEO of Palm Bay International (Cavit’s US importer since the brand’s introduction), added in a statement, noting that as "America's original Pinot Grigio, Cavit has played a pivotal role in shaping how consumers experience Italian white wine."

The company also produces several other varietals as part of its Cavit Collection (which we're told has plans to grow next year) such as Merlot, Moscato, Prosecco and Riesling, but this special rebate—which brings the price of a bottle down to $6.99—is only valid on its approachable, "crisp, refreshing" Pinot Grigio.

Cavit Pinot Grigio How to Score the Limited-Time Rebate

Consumers in most U.S. states (excluding Hawaii, Indiana, North Carolina, Texas and Utah) can participate in the limited-time rebate promotion and save up to $4 by purchasing Cavit Pinot Grigio at participating retailers and then submitting proof of purchase (a photo of your receipt) by scanning the QR code on its website or texting PINOT GRIGIO DAY to 37293 during the promotional period, which begins on Sunday, May 10 and runs through Sunday, May 17.

Qualifying customers will then receive their rebate via check, PayPal, or Venmo within 48 hours of their submission. Customers are only allowed to submit one receipt per submission, receipts must have brand names itemized, and the store name and date/time of purchase must be visible. For more information and official rebate rules, visit the Palm Bay website.

SPOILER ALERT! The following interview gets into details from "Bridge Over Troubled Water," the Season 22 finale of Grey's Anatomy.

Another love triangle has arrived on Grey's Anatomy, and Sophia Bush's Dr. Cass Beckman is involved again. Bush started recurring on the medical drama in Season 21 and inspired Teddy (Kim Ravers) to consider opening her marriage with Owen (Kevin McKidd). The two almost hooked up at a medical conference last season and then actually spent the night together after Teddy and Owen officially separated in Season 22.

Cass showed up at Grey Sloan in the latest season finale to help with incoming traumas when the bridge collapse prevented her from getting to work at Seattle Pres. It was fitting to see her at Grey Sloan for Teddy's last day, but Teddy wasn't the only one Cass spent quality time with during her visit.

Apparently, she and Amelia Shepherd (Caterina Scorsone) hit it off during surgery and decided to hook up at Amelia's apartment. They were still getting undressed when Toni (Jen Landon) showed up to announce she was choosing Amelia over her ex-wife because she was falling in love. That was the last thing Amelia expected, and now she will have to spend the beginning of Season 23 trying to convince Toni that her hookup with Cass was not a reflection of her true feelings.

Parade caught up with Bush to talk about the surprising cliffhanger, being on set for Ravers' and McKidd's final episodes as series regulars, and what being part of another Grey's love triangle means for Cass going forward.

It’s surreal being part of a Grey’s Anatomy season finale in general, but what was it like on set to be there for Kim and Kevin’s final episodes as series regulars?
I mean, personally, I was unwell. It’s such a crazy experience. I toed this line of being both a friend to many of the people in this cast now, after all these years, and being a fan of what they do there, and a fan of these people’s performances. Kevin, for example, I’ve been so fortunate to have been directed by him on multiple occasions in multiple episodes. He is such an amazing captain of the ship. 

I’m sitting there reading this next script thinking, “Oh, this is going to be so fun. What’s our conflict going to be? …Cass and Teddy have been at this for a while. They’ve taken this moment. If I’m coming back, I wonder what’s going to happen? Are Cass and Owen going to get into it again? Is there going to be a weird moment with everybody? How crazy are the writers going to go?” I had no clue that this is what was coming in all of the sort of insane cliffhangers I imagined. 

It was a surreal experience to know that these incredibly talented coworkers and friends were going to be putting these characters to bed, or at least for a nap. I have no idea how long that is going to last…but then to watch Kevin directing this episode and just to be able to be there and go, “This is so crazy.” It’s a surreal mix of emotions. They’re both so talented and professional and kind and funny. After all the years, and their characters have gone through so much drama, I love that they are getting a happy ending for now. 

We don’t get to see Teddy tell Cass that she’s going to Paris, but what do you think that conversation was like? 
I got to the scene where [Teddy and Owen] are going to double down on each other, and they’re going to Paris. I was like, "Wait, no! When are we going to have the conversation?" Given where this episode ends, there’s clearly a lot that has happened off-camera. In my head, in the backstory I built, Teddy and Cass had a goodbye at the hospital. Teddy would have explained in some fashion the a-ha moment she’s had about her own marriage. I think Cass would have understood. She and David stay together for their own reasons. I think to be truly happy with someone, the security that Cass has at home really enables this boldness and this outsized freedom in the rest of her life. She’s the kind of person who is sad to lose her crush, but also really happy that these two people are going to give it another shot. I guess at some point in a post-op catch-up, she’s then chatting with Amelia and whoever else. I imagine everyone went to the bar to blow off some steam after such a crazy day, and then the ending I didn’t see coming. 

What do you think is appealing to Cass about Amelia? Is it Amelia specifically, or is she sad that Teddy is leaving? 
I wouldn’t do Amelia dirty like that. I think Amelia Shepherd is an icon. There’s also something really interesting about these women who are at the top of their game, who’ve been through the gauntlet of personal life and development, who share the fact that they’re parents and they manage to keep all the plates spinning. There’s a lot for them to connect on, pretty immediately. I think at the end of the day of this doctor I play, who is still married but in an open relationship, it’s like, “Oh, look at this little piece of joy that just fell into my lap.” And I’m happy for her. 

This is the second relationship on the show where Cass has become a complication. Are you worried that’s becoming a bit of a pattern with Cass? 
At the end of the day, it’s TV. If you don’t have drama or conflict, what do you have? I wouldn’t think it would be quite so complicated. At the end of the day, you have got to surprise people. You have to keep the viewers entertained. I guess we’ll see where it goes. We’re all in the dark at the end of the season, including all of the actors. 

What’s interesting is that Cass is the sort of person who can be both a love interest and a source of advice. We saw it with Teddy, offering her own perspective and asking questions so that Teddy could think about how she feels about her own marriage. I think the surprise of having had this experience with Amelia, and then suddenly there’s this woman at the door — I don’t know who that is! I don’t know anything about her. Then it’s like, “Who are you and what aren’t you telling me? What position did you just put me in? My cards are on the table.” That’s also very interesting. I have no idea if we’ll see us have that conversation, but I do think there is potential for Cass in that moment to ask Amelia some questions that might make her come to terms with some things. 

This all implies that you will be back for Season 23. What is your dream storyline for Cass on this show?
We’ve been figuring out excuses to get me in the hospital since I don’t currently work there. I was able to show up after a disaster and say I can’t get to where I am employed, maybe there are some doctors who can’t get here. Where can I fill in? I like that. She has that sort of tenacity and really inherent desire to serve, to help, to take care of people. I think I really enjoy getting to do surgery in general. I enjoy the technicality of all the medical work. I love any excuse I get to really interact with Chandra [Wilson], whether it was at the conference last season or being in the OR with her in the finale. That was lovely. I’m very game for more surgery, but I think we’d have to figure out why I keep showing up and not going to Seattle Pres. That’s for the writers to figure out. 

What does it mean to you to get to play this woman who is so open about her sexuality and representing open marriage/nonconventional relationships?
I’m so relieved that everyone at Shondaland is so unflappable. They’re not scared of anything. They’re willing to have conversations and break taboos. They represent people who, when you start looking at the data, are everywhere but maybe are not often highlighted in story or on screen. That’s been an interesting part of it for me as an actor to do some research about the demographics that are changing, whether we’re talking about queerness or we’re talking about versions of open relationships. I look at what’s happening in the world and then think about the way that it might inform a person I play, especially when a character makes different choices than I personally make in my life. I know two or three couples that are open. I called all of them and was like, “Can I ask you questions? DOn’t be mad that some of them will be really specific. You don’t have to answer, but I just need to understand certain things about this dynamic that I have no experience with in my own life. 

That’s one of the great gifts, I think, of being an actor in general. You get to learn about people, and they will share vulnerabilities with you. It’s been really cool to try to figure out through people that I know and people that I don’t, where this woman stands in her own life. It’s fun to break a taboo. It’s fun to get to do something as an actor that I don’t do in my own life. What would it be like to be that assured in those departments? What would it be like to move through the world with this sort of security? How does that inform a person’s energy? The way they speak to people? How does it affect how they move through spaces in a crowd? It’s fun to explore all of that through her.

For seven years, Pedro Pascal played a bounty hunter who never showed his face. When he finally had to speak about what that character meant to him, he couldn't keep a straight one.

At a fan celebration in Mexico City on April 26, Pascal took the stage for a Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu promotional panel alongside director Jon Favreau. Speaking about the journey from streaming series to feature film, Pascal described watching Star Wars in movie theaters as a child with his family, how those experiences shaped him, and how he always hoped that Din Djarin and Grogu would someday make it to the big screen. After shifting to Spanish to address the crowd directly, he paused, wiped away tears, and stood there for a moment while the audience erupted into cheers and began chanting his name. He then blew a kiss to the fans before composing himself.

'As soon as I saw this, I knew that it would be a new authorship of a streaming experience,' Pascal said of the original Disney+ series, per The Hollywood Reporter. 'But I always had a dream in my heart that it would be on a big screen because that's how I was developed as a child. I went to the movie theater so much with my family, and I saw the Star Wars movies on the big screen.'

The film, directed by Favreau and opening in theaters May 22, is the first theatrical Star Wars release since The Rise of Skywalker in 2019. It follows Din Djarin and Grogu as they work with the fledgling New Republic to track Imperial war criminals, with Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White joining the cast. Favreau has described the movie as a coming-of-age story, one where Grogu, now a Mandalorian apprentice with growing abilities, steps into a much larger world. For Favreau, three years to make a two-hour film after producing annual eight-episode seasons was a different kind of creative challenge: bigger sets, larger action sequences, and for the first time in the franchise, extended scenes with Pascal's face fully on screen.

Pascal has spoken in several interviews about what it felt like to read the feature script for the first time. 'When they locked me in a room and let me read the script for The Mandalorian and Grogu, I felt that,' he told Fandango, describing the sensation of true cinematic adventure he remembered from childhood. 'And then being on set, what I saw was the kind of thing that made my mouth drop when I was a kid.'

The press tour continued through Europe, with Pascal, Weaver, and Favreau appearing at a fan celebration in Berlin on May 4 and a Paris premiere event on May 5. Pre-sale tracking currently projects a potential $100 million opening weekend in North America. Clips of Pascal's emotional moment in Mexico City circulated widely online, drawing responses from longtime fans who said it captured what the show has meant to them, a slow-burn story about an unlikely father and son that became the emotional heart of the Star Wars universe. That is the feeling Pascal has been carrying into every stop on the press tour, and, likely, the one audiences will be carrying into theaters on May 22.

Erin Murphy opened up about the end of Bewitched in a new interview. The former child actress who played Tabitha Stephens on the ABC fantasy sitcom from 1966 to 1972 appeared on Billy Corgan’sThe Magnificent Others podcast, where she shared new details about the sudden ending to the series more than 50 years ago.

In the May 2026 interview, Murphy, now 61, explained that the cast fully expected to return to the series for a ninth season, but that series star Elizabeth Montgomery made the decision to end the series amid her split from showrunner William Asher.

“So we went on hiatus, which is our break, and we had contracts to do two more years of the show,” Murphy told Corgan. “So, it wasn't like … we weren't canceled. I think people always ask why was Bewitched canceled, and it wasn't. We had a contract to do two, and I think it's like an addendum to do three [more seasons], that it was a guaranteed thing. And then we went on our break. … We all got telegrams and letters saying, 'We have decided not to do the show.' Bill Asher and Liz were going through a divorce and they just, she especially, decided just not to do the show anymore.”

Murphy noted that there was no official finale or closure for the cast, which also starred Dick Sargent, Agnes Moorehead, and David White.

“So there was no goodbye,” she shared. “So it wasn't like we said, you know how at the end of a school year you cry, you say goodbye. None of us had that. We had the ‘see you soon, we'll be back’ kind of thing.”

Murphy, who joined the cast of Bewitched at age two, explained that while the end of the show was hard in that she missed her castmates and the crew members, she was also excited to just be a kid again.

“We'd stay in touch with Christmas cards, and I was dear friends and still am with Elizabeth Montgomery and Bill Asher's kids,” Murphy added of her post-show relationship with her TV mom. ”So I stayed in touch with her through her children.”

Erin Murphy has no special memories of the final ‘Bewitched’ episode

The final episode of Bewitched, titled  “The Truth, Nothing But the Truth, So Help Me Sam,” aired on March 25, 1972, on ABC. It was a regular episode with no inklings of a series finale.

Murphy told Remind magazine that she had no special memories of the final episode because it “wasn’t supposed to be the final episode.”

“We went on hiatus like always, expecting to come back,” she said in 2025. “The final episode was just like any other week of the show. None of us knew it was the final episode while we were filming it. … There was no goodbye party except for the end-of-season wrap party. But that was like every other season,” the Bewitched child star added.

At the peak of Brian Wilson’s creative brilliance, one hauntingly personal 1966 song from the Beach Boys' landmark album captured the loneliness and vulnerability behind his genius.

"I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" hails from Pet Sounds. The Tony Asher and Wilson-penned song appears to describe Wilson's disillusionment with society and his tendency to withdraw from the world around him.

Rolling Stone named the tune as one of its 25 Best Brian Wilson Songs. It ranks among other classics such as "Caroline, No," "God Only Knows," "Wouldn't It Be Nice," and "Good Vibrations."

The track creates an eerie atmosphere, heightened by Wilson's unconventional arrangement. "I Just Wasn't Made For These Times" also broke new ground by featuring one of the earliest uses of the Electro-Theremin in a mainstream pop recording.

Rolling Stone reprinted a quote from Wilson about the song's arrangement. It reads, "I wanted it to sound eerie, and that ended up with a situation where I introduced a new instrument to rock & roll."

None of the Beach Boys members played the instrument. Wilson hired Paul Tanner [a trombonist, a member of Glenn Miller's orchestra, and its inventor, with Bob Whitsell] to play the Electro-Theramin on the song, according to American Songwriter.

Wilson said of the LP to The Independent, "They say [The Beatles] Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and Pet Sounds were the two greatest albums ever made. I'm very proud to think that we could have made an album that good. It was easier back then because I was young and had energy. I wanted to make love music. I was in the mood for love music."

In an interview shared on the Beach Boys' official YouTube channel, Wilson added, "Music inspires me. I love music.

"I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" remains one of the most introspective tracks in Brian Wilson’s catalog. It not only highlights his sophisticated arranging skills, but also offers a revealing look into his inner world.
