Kumail Nanjiani takes his cat dad duties very seriously.

Along with his wife Emily Gordon, he is the parent of a kitten named Biscuit. The couple also had another cat named Bagel, who passed away in September 2025.

As he teams up with Purina’s Tidy Cats for a purr-fect new partnership, the Silicon Valley alum fondly looks back on a time when Bagel once got up to no good.

“Bagel once found her way—I don’t know how she did it—inside a wall behind a closet and we had to break the wall to get her out,” he tells Parade.

“We fully freaked out because we couldn’t find her,” he continues. “Then, we heard her meowing and we couldn’t see her, but we heard the meowing. And then, we sort of tracked her and we saw she was behind it.”

According to Nanjiani, “the whole thing took about an hour, hour and a half.”

“Because then, it’s not even a decision,” he concludes. “You’re like, ‘All right, I’m going to destroy my house to make sure my cat’s okay.'”

The scary incident led to Nanjiani and Gordon leaving the access point open, just in case the mishap occurred again. But they completely forgot about the massive hole until they were getting ready to move out of the house.

“When we were moving out of that place a few years ago, we were like, ‘Oh right,’ because it’s inside a closet. … We never got it fixed. We were like, if she gets back in there, now we have an easy access point,” he shares.

Nanjiani will do anything to pamper his cats, even down to making sure he’s provided them with the best kitty litter option on the market. That’s why collaborating with Purina’s Tidy Cats—which launched its highly-advanced Tidy Cats Performance+ litter earlier this year—is more than just a brand partnership for him.

“I only do these kinds of collaborations with products I use of the products I can genuinely
support,” he says.

“I do genuinely judge people who don’t clean their kitty litter often enough. I really do, because I know cats get uncomfortable with that,” he continues. “[My late cat] Bagel would. I could see her getting stressed if you forgot to clean. So for me, what this product implies to me is caring for your cat. That’s why I jumped on board.”

The partnership involves a three-part social procedural series, titled Special Litter Unit (S.L.U.), starring Nanjiani as lead agent while content creator Jordan Howlett plays his rookie officer. Additionally, an all-new Litter Crimes HQ pop-up is meowing its way into New York City, allowing cat lovers to join in on all the fun with interactive missions and adoptable cats from Petfinder.

Naturally, the Howl star-director also notes that this partnership is “very much Biscuit-approved.”

Episode 1 is now available on Tidy Cats’ Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. New episodes will continue rolling out through the week. Litter Crimes HQ one-day pop up is open on Oct. 2 from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. at 45Grand in New York City.

Emmylou Harris was one of the leading country-rock musicians of the 1970s and had already found success on the charts when she handpicked a Delbert McClinton classic as her next single.

“Two More Bottles of Wine” was written by the Texas native in 1975 for his album Victim of Life’s Circumstance. McClinton had already been working in the industry for over a decade before the track was released, and he worked with Bruce Channel and even taught the Beatles’ John Lennon harmonica licks.

The track tells the story of the narrator moving to Los Angeles in search of success when their lover suddenly leaves. The narrator is left to work menial jobs like sweeping a warehouse, but realizes everything will be all right because they still have bottles of wine.

According to the book Delbert McClinton: One of the Fortunate Few, McClinton penned the track based on the same scenario described in the lyrics. He and his girlfriend, Maggie, had moved to the West Coast, and he began working at a veterinary supply warehouse. His relationship didn’t last, and Maggie left.

It led McClinton to feel heartbroken, and “he sat on the mattress in that dank, black apartment and wrote a song about sweeping out a warehouse in West Los Angeles.”

Years later, McClinton spoke to Rolling Stone and revealed he felt a lot better after writing the song, and “I’d hate to think I have to suffer like that every time I wrote a song. I don’t ever want to be that depressed again, but I want to be an interpreter of those feelings . . . a teller of the things I’ve done, not the things I do.”

While “Two More Bottles of Wine” wasn’t a success for him on the Billboard charts, it was for Harris three years later, in 1978. The track was re-recorded and released on her album Quarter Moon in a Ten Cent Town and landed at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Singles chart two months after it was released in April.

According to reports, Harris was a great admirer of McClinton’s music and his 1975 album. She became determined to find one of his songs that could be sung from a woman’s point of view and settled on “Two More Bottles of Wine.” It was recorded in her Beverly Hills, California, rental home, despite it not having an official recording studio.

Harris’s producer, Brian Ahern, instead converted a semi into a mobile home that acted as a studio control center. They ran wiring from the truck into different rooms of the house, with Harris and the other musicians each playing in a different room that acted as a recording booth.

“Two More Bottles of Wine” became Harri’s third No. 1 song of her future seven total of her career.

“Emmylou cut that song in 1978, I didn’t even know until someone called and told me about it. I don’t think I ever made any money off of that cut because I was pretty much f*cked out of all of the publishing back then. I didn’t know any better,” he explained.

Months before their 30th wedding anniversary, iconic Hollywood couple Harry Hamlin, 74, and Lisa Rinna, 63, will star on Broadway together this holiday season.

On Thursday, October 1, they were among the star-studded cast announced for a limited holiday production of It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play, directed by four-time Tony Award winner Jerry Zaks.

According to BroadwayWorld, beloved Broadway veteran Andrew Rannells will star as George Bailey opposite two-time Tony nominee Megan Hilty as his wife, Mary Bailey. Tituss Burgess will play Clarence (and others).

Hamlin, a ’80s heartthrob best known for his roles in Clash of the Titans and the TV drama L.A. Law, will take on the role of villainous Mr. Potter, while Rinna — who first rose to fame on Days of Our Lives — will play Violet (and others).

This won’t be the first time Hamlin and Rinna have worked together, though. In 2001, they played a married couple in the Lifetime movie Sex, Lies & Obsession and in 2007, they co-starred in the Broadway production of Chicago. They also had a short-lived 2010 reality show, Harry Loves Lisa, before Rinna become an iconic cast member of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills from 2014 to 2022.

The show emulates a 1940s radio broadcast, “high above New York City at Christmastime, where a company of actors has gathered to perform one of the most beloved holiday stories ever told,” per BroadwayWorld. Just like the beloved 1946 film It’s A Wonderful Life, the play is based on a 1943 short story called The Greatest Gift by Philip Van Doren Stern.

Now celebrating its 30th year, It’s A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play first premiered in Connecticut in 1996, and has become a holiday staple at theaters across the country, but this is its first-ever Broadway run.

Previews begin November 4 at the Broadhurst Theatre, but the official Opening Night is slated for Wednesday, November 18. The show will run for nine weeks only, through Sunday, January 3. Tickets are available via Telecharge.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry may have packed up their California home and moved back to England, but that doesn’t mean Markle’s As Ever brand is slowing down. Take a gander around the As Ever website, and you’ll see the Duchess of Sussex’s infamous “flower sprinkles” for sale, as well as a bevy of delicious-looking jams, honeys and teas, among other things. Honestly, I get a little hungry just thinking about it.

But As ever is also entering new territory with a special collaboration that’s going to bring some seriously good cheer this holiday season. And, gloriously, it involves chocolate.

As Ever and Compartés have teamed up again—remember those sold-out chocolate bars?—this time for a holiday Advent calendar that’s almost too pretty to toss once the chocolates are gone. The keepsake box takes inspiration from Markle’s gorgeous California home and garden, which makes sense because Compartés is based in the Golden State, too. (Los Angeles, to be exact.)

Once you crack open that charming box, you’ll find 24 handcrafted chocolates that are meant to be enjoyed once a day leading up to Christmas. Each one features a flavor associated with As Ever’s pantry products, including strawberry, raspberry, blackberry and orange marmalade. There’s also a chocolate topped with the aforementioned flower sprinkles. The little details are personal, with each chocolate numbered in Markle’s own handwriting and finished in edible gold.

Where Can You Buy the Advent Calendar?

If you want to get your hands on an As Ever x Compartés Advent Calendar, head to asever.com—and you’ll probably need to be quick. The calendar just came online Thursday, Oct. 1, and quantities are extremely limited. Don’t forget that the As Ever x Compartés chocolate bars sold out in less than an hour at launch, so the Advent calendar will likely go just as fast.

You’ll also have to cough up a pretty penny for the coveted collab: Each Advent calendar retails for $148. Note that this is a preorder situation and the calendars aren’t expected to ship until early November. But at least that means less time to tempt yourself to open it before Dec. 1 for a bite of scrumptious chocolate.

If you’re seeing musty odors, damp insulation or signs of insects beneath your home, it’s reasonable to wonder, how can I prevent termites? Crawlspace encapsulation is often presented as part of the answer because it controls one of the conditions termites and mold can exploit: excess moisture.

But encapsulation has limits. It can reduce moisture entering from the soil and help create a drier crawlspace. It does not kill termites or guarantee they cannot enter a home. EPA guidance recommends moisture control measures such as ground vapor barriers and humidity management, while termite prevention also requires inspections and, when appropriate, professional treatment.

If you suspect termite activity now, schedule a free termite inspection with Orkin rather than waiting for a crawlspace project to address the problem.

Does crawlspace encapsulation stop termites?

No. Crawlspace encapsulation does not stop termites by itself. It reduces crawlspace moisture, which can remove conditions favorable to termites and wood decay, but termites can still enter through soil, foundation gaps and other access points. Termite inspections and appropriate treatment remain necessary when activity or risk is present.

That distinction matters because subterranean termites live in soil and can travel toward wood inside a house. A sealed crawlspace does not create an automatic termite barrier.

Orkin specifically addresses this question in its pest-control guidance: “vapor barriers are always valuable” for limiting moisture in wood above crawlspaces, but they will not prevent termites. Encapsulation is better understood as a moisture-control strategy that supports a broader termite prevention plan.

How does crawlspace encapsulation work?

A properly encapsulated crawlspace is designed to separate the space from ground moisture and uncontrolled outdoor air.

The process typically involves:

• Installing a continuous vapor barrier: A durable plastic vapor retarder covers the exposed soil. Seams, edges and penetrations are sealed to limit moisture movement.
• Sealing crawlspace walls and vents: Depending on the home’s design and local requirements, vents and other openings may be sealed as part of creating a controlled environment.
• Managing humidity: A dehumidifier may be installed when passive moisture control is insufficient. EPA guidance recommends controlling crawlspace relative humidity to below 65% when dehumidification is needed.
• Addressing water sources: Plumbing leaks, drainage problems and groundwater intrusion need to be corrected rather than covered by the encapsulation system.

EPA’s Indoor AirPlus guidance recommends a sealed Class I vapor retarder for certain crawlspaces without concrete slabs and calls for seams and penetrations to be sealed. The goal is a crawlspace with less uncontrolled moisture, rather than simply putting plastic over a dirt floor.

Can crawlspace encapsulation prevent mold?

Encapsulation can reduce the moisture conditions that support mold growth, but it does not guarantee a mold-free crawlspace. Controlling water intrusion, sealing the ground and managing humidity are essential because mold needs moisture to grow. Existing mold or water damage still requires appropriate remediation.

Moisture can reach a crawlspace through the soil, plumbing leaks, foundation walls and humid outdoor air. Once moisture reaches wood framing, floor joists or insulation, prolonged dampness can contribute to fungal growth and wood deterioration.

A vapor barrier helps address moisture coming through exposed soil. A dehumidifier manages moisture in the air. Neither solution fixes a leaking pipe or foundation drainage problem.

That is why crawlspace encapsulation should begin with an inspection of the space and the sources of moisture affecting it.

If you find signs of termites, Orkin offers a free termite inspection to identify activity and discuss a customized treatment plan. A crawlspace moisture inspection can also help determine whether water control should be part of the solution.

Does a vapor barrier prevent termites?

A vapor barrier is not a termite treatment. It can reduce crawlspace moisture and improve conditions around wood framing, but subterranean termites can still reach a structure through soil and concealed pathways.

EPA identifies several measures homeowners can take to reduce termite risk, including keeping soil around the foundation dry, correcting leaks, reducing openings around utilities, avoiding wood-to-ground contact and conducting periodic inspections.

A termite professional also looks for evidence that a homeowner may not see from above. According to Orkin, inspections can include accessible crawlspaces and the lowest levels of a home, where professionals look for mud tubes, damaged wood and other signs of activity.

Encapsulation vs. Termite Control

Crawlspace encapsulation

Termite control

Controls ground and crawlspace moisture

Targets termite activity and entry

Uses vapor barriers and sealing

May involve baits, monitoring or termiticides

Helps reduce conditions associated with mold and wood decay

Addresses active or potential termite infestations

Does not kill termites

Designed specifically for termite prevention or treatment

May include humidity management

Requires inspection and a treatment plan based on conditions

The two approaches can complement each other, but one should not be substituted for the other.

Related: How Moisture Control Helps Protect Your Home From Termites

What should homeowners do if they suspect termites?

Start with an inspection before investing in crawlspace improvements. A professional can determine whether there are signs of current or previous termite activity and identify moisture or structural conditions that could make the property more vulnerable.

Look for warning signs such as:

• Mud tubes along foundations or crawlspace walls
• Hollow or damaged wood
• Discarded wings near windows or entry points
• Swarming insects around the home
• Persistent crawlspace moisture or plumbing leaks

Orkin technical director Ron Harrison, Ph.D., has emphasized the role of professional inspection and treatment, saying, “Every successful pest control program begins with a partnership between the homeowners and the professionals.”

How can I prevent termites in a crawlspace?

Reduce moisture, eliminate easy access points, keep wood away from soil and inspect the property regularly. Crawlspace encapsulation can address moisture from exposed soil, but termite prevention also requires attention to foundation conditions, drainage, wood-to-ground contact and signs of activity.

If your crawlspace is damp or you have discovered possible termite evidence, getting the conditions evaluated before starting an encapsulation project can prevent you from solving only part of the problem.

If you love sweeping historical fiction, Norma Jennings is the author you’ll want to look out for in 2027. Marooned comes out in May, and we have the first look at the absolutely gorgeous cover.

Jennings has already made her mark with her first three novels. Her first, Daughter of the Caribbean, was a story of love and injustice set midst the backdrop of slavery in 19th century Jamaica. Then she followed up with Passenger from Greece, a historical drama that crossed international borders.

In 2024, she was the winner of the Editor’s Choice Award of Literary Excellence for her third novel The Irish Connection, which also soared to the No. 1 spot on Amazon. It took readers back to 19th century Jamaica, weaving fact and fiction to explore resilience and interconnected struggles.

Now it’s time for Marooned, an epic historical saga arriving on May 10, 2027. Set in 1739, nearly 40 years before the U.S. achieved independence from England, the Jamaican Maroons won their wars for independence in the Caribbean. The Jamaican Maroons were a group of many tribes led by women, and Marooned follows Nedra Ubote, a young and fierce Maroon who was captured and sold as a slave.

Despite being tortured and abused, Nedra doesn’t let herself become the victim. She escapes, and then she surprisingly returns, and she is determined to get her revenge.

Like many of Jennings’ novels, this is a story of resilience and inner strength. So many situations would tear people down, but Jennings shows what can happen when people work together and find the courage deep within to fight for themselves and what they believe is right. It’s an epic story of the fight for freedom, both in terms of slavery and for Jamaica from the British people.

Take a look at the stunning Marooned cover. It captures the call for justice. Nedra sits on the front cover with her horn held high to gather her people to use their knowledge of the terrain and the land to gain the freedoms nobody will willingly give them.

There’s an art to the front cover that many novels fail to capture now. It’s more like a painting, a look into the past to showcase the beauty of Mother Nature and the hope of the win to come.

Marooned by Norma Jennings will be released on May 10, 2027.

Is Beyond the Gates about to start exploring Smitty’s family, the Smiths? His portrayer, Mike Manning, just hinted at their impending arrival.

Manning joined the CBS soap opera Beyond the Gates at the series premiere in February 2025. Since then, little has been explored in Smitty’s family life, aside from the family he has created with his husband, Martin Richardson (Brandon Claybon). Still, in a recent interview with TV Source Magazine, Manning hinted that could be changing in the near future.

When Manning was asked if viewers might learn more about where Bradley Smith came from, the actor evaded the question while also teasing that viewers are right to question his background, sharing, “I can’t say anything, but I can say that if you think we’re going to learn a little bit about Smitty’s family, I think you’re right.”

While Beyond the Gates hasn’t confirmed plans to introduce members of the Smith family, viewers have speculated that former All My Children and Melrose Place star Colin Egglesfield could be playing one after the actor was recently spotted on set and followed by multiple Beyond the Gates actors on social media.

Beyond the Gates was recently renewed for its third and fourth seasons on CBS, expected to air throughout 2027 and 2028.

Production on Beyond the Gates third season recently began, with many twists and turns expected as the show goes into 2027.

Manning was recently nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series at the 2026 Daytime Emmy Awards. Winners will be announced on October 30, 2026.

Prior to joining Beyond the Gates, Manning began his television career in 2009 with an appearance on The Real World: D.C., starred in the web series Youthful Daze in 2014, and joined the cast of The Bay in 2019. Before joining the world of daytime television in 2020 with his run as Charlie Dale on Days of our Lives.

New episodes of Beyond the Gates air on CBS weekdays and stream on Paramount+ weeknights. Viewers can catch up on all of the drama from the beginning of the show on Paramount+, Tubi, and PlutoTV’s dedicated 24/7 Beyond the Gates FAST channel.

Dane Cook was willing to walk away from more than $12 million owed to him if his estranged half-brother would agree to one thing.

The 54-year-old comedian revisits his brother Darryl McCauley’s stunning betrayal in the new documentary Funny Money: The Dane Cook Story, including an attempt to finally confront McCauley face-to-face.

According to People, Cook offered to release McCauley from his more than $12 million restitution obligation if he agreed to be interviewed for the documentary and meet with Cook in person. McCauley turned the offer down.

The massive debt stems from McCauley’s years working as Cook’s business manager. McCauley was arrested in 2008 and ultimately pleaded guilty in 2010 to larceny, embezzlement and forgery after stealing millions from his famous half-brother. He was sentenced to six years in prison and ordered to pay restitution.

People reports that the documentary reveals just how little of that money has made its way back to Cook. As of 2024, McCauley had reportedly repaid only $3,900, leaving an outstanding balance of $12,088,130.34.

Cook’s offer wasn’t simply about getting his brother on camera. The comedian has spoken about wanting answers about a betrayal that affected him far beyond his bank account.

In a new interview with Fox News Digital, Cook described the experience as “the scarlet letter of humiliation that I felt like he branded on me.”

McCauley wasn’t merely Cook’s business manager. He was an older brother who knew about insecurities Cook had struggled with since childhood.

Cook told Fox News Digital that despite his enormous public success, McCauley knew about the panic attacks and self-loathing he experienced growing up.

“Publicly, I’m the bell of the ball, all the cool stuff that’s happening there, but he knew, only he knew that I’d come home every day after school with panic attacks and dreading the next day having to go to school because I was just so scared of people,” Cook said.

“It’s like, the money can come and go, and fame can come and go, and that’s life,” he added. “There’s so many things that are out of your control.”

Cook’s attempt to bring McCauley into the documentary was unsuccessful, but another person involved in the case did participate.

McCauley’s now-ex-wife Erika McCauley was sentenced to two and a half years for her role in the crimes. People reports that Cook agreed to forgive her portion of the restitution in exchange for her participation in Funny Money.

As for whether Cook will ever speak to his brother again, that remains uncertain.

When asked in the documentary what he would say to McCauley if he were watching, Cook offered just three words: “To the future.”

Funny Money: The Dane Cook Story is now available on VOD.

Jimmy Kimmel has kicked off yet another spectacular season at ABC with the return of his hit talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live!, with the latest season of the series beginning earlier this September.

As the TV host continues to delight audiences with his irreverent brand of comedy, however, a few select celebrities have voiced their frustration with Kimmel’s comedic style.

On the latest episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, for example, the host found his monologue interrupted by a baseball bat-wielding Robert De Niro, who played the part of FCC Chairman Brendan Carr and delivered several not-so-subtle threats about potentially suspending and/or canceling Jimmy Kimmel Live!

“You’re being threatened by the FCC?” De Niro started by saying. “Who is threatening you? Am I threatening you? Do you feel threatened by me?”

“Hey, look who it is everybody. It’s the chairman of the FCC,” Kimmel remarked. “What was your name again?”

“My name is none of your f***ing business. That’s my name,” De Niro said, before revealing he was attending Kimmel’s show for a “routine inspection.”

“Now if you will shut that f***ing mouth of yours, I have a few items I’d like to discuss,” the two-time Oscar winner continued, pointing out that Kimmel had made 192 insults against President Donald Trump.

When Kimmel tried to explain himself, De Niro promptly shut him down.

“Did I tell you it was your turn to talk, numb nuts?” he said. “You speak when I tell you to speak and otherwise you shut the f**k up.”

In his explanation, De Niro’s chairman said the only way hKimmel ould get away with insulting the president is by paying the commander-in-chief an equal compliment at the same time.

“If you were to say something like, ‘Trump wasn’t invited to Jeffrey Epstein’s birthday party cuz they were afraid he’d start eating the cake before the kid jumped out,’ then you got to also compliment his penmanship in that naked lady birthday poem he didn’t write,” De Niro told Kimmel. “Am I clear?”

Not Your Typical Cheesecake But Still Worth Trying

In the comment section below @costcohotfinds’ post, fan reactions poured in both in favor of and in question of this popular Korean snack. Understandably, shoppers are intrigued by its appearance and flavor, while also wondering if it’s actually anything like the cheesecakes they already know and love. 

“I got these last week, they are more like angel food cake that has cheesecake flavor rather than a creamy cheesecake,” one shopper clarified for other viewers. 

“These are delicious,” another chimed in, adding that they “remind me of a mix between angel food cake and pound cake” and saying that they are “great with strawberries and ice cream.”

And the praise didn’t stop there. Another shopper said the cakes are “so good” and actually “taste like the ones in Korea,” while someone else admitted, “it’s taking a lot not to eat the whole box in one sitting.”

If you’re looking to indulge, keep an eye out on your next Costco visit and snag a box (or two) for yourself. While you’re there, check out one of these five Costco bakery finds for more sweet-treat ideas that are perfect for the festive season ahead.

When Giada De Laurentiis puts her name behind a pasta, expectations are understandably pretty high. After all, the celebrity chef has spent decades sharing her love of Italian food, and her Giadzy brand has made it even easier to bring a little taste of Italy into our own kitchens.

Now, one of the brand’s Italian-made pastas is making its way onto more grocery store shelves nationwide. Made by master pasta makers in Italy, it uses Italian-grown grains and mountain spring water, then kneaded, shaped and slowly air-dried using time-honored old-world techniques. Sounds exactly like what you’d expect from De Laurentiis.

One detail you probably wouldn’t guess from tasting it is that the pasta is completely gluten-free.

If your experience with gluten-free pasta has been less than satisfying, with a dry texture, noodles that don’t hold their shape or a tendency to turn mushy, this may be what you’ve been longing for.

Giadzy’s Gluten-Free Pasta Is Coming to Sprouts Nationwide

Courtesy Giadzy

Giadzy’s gluten-free pasta is now available at 480 Sprouts Farmers Market locations nationwide, marking the brand’s first partnership with a national retail chain.

The Sprouts rollout includes four shapes: casarecce, mezzi rigatoni, stelline and taccole corte. That’s plenty of variety for pasta night! Whether you’re looking for something to pair with a favorite sauce, toss into a baked pasta dish or add to a cozy bowl of soup, Giadzy’s has checked all the boxes.

The nationwide expansion puts Giadzy’s gluten-free pasta within much easier reach for shoppers who previously had to order it online. And while tossing a bag into your cart is certainly convenient, what really sets the pasta apart from other gluten-free options in the aisle is how it’s made.

It starts with a surprisingly short ingredient list. Giadzy’s gluten-free pasta uses just three ingredients: Italian-grown, non-GMO corn flour, rice flour and pristine mountain spring water. The corn and rice are sourced directly from family farmers, and there are no emulsifiers, preservatives or unnecessary additives.

Giadzy isn’t simply swapping alternative flours into a pasta recipe and calling it a day. The pasta is produced in Lombardy’s Po River Valley, where master pasta makers knead, shape and slowly air-dry it using the same traditional techniques used to make wheat-based Italian pasta. It’s also produced in a completely gluten-free facility and is vegan.

For De Laurentiis, the goal was to make gluten-free pasta without asking pasta lovers to settle.

“To me, pasta is sacred,” said De Laurentiis in a statement announcing the Sprouts expansion. “I never wanted my gluten-free friends to feel like they had to settle for something different.”

That combination of a short ingredient list and traditional Italian pasta-making methods sounds good on paper. Of course, there’s only one way to find out whether it translates to the plate.

I don’t personally follow a gluten-free diet, but my daughter does, which means I’ve tried a lot of gluten-free pasta over the years. Some have been better than others, but something about the flavor or texture usually gives away what you’re eating.

Giadzy’s doesn’t taste gluten-free. It cooks up beautifully al dente and has the texture of, well, pasta. And not just your run-of-the-mill store-brand pasta. The texture reminded me of good bronze-cut pasta, with the substantial bite you’d expect from a premium Italian offering. If I hadn’t known it was gluten-free before taking my first bite, I don’t think I would have guessed.

It was very good—easily the best gluten-free pasta I’ve tried. And considering how much of it I’ve tried, that’s saying something.

Not to sound like a coffee snob, but it’s hard to go back to Folgers once you’ve had a really good cup of Joe. Sure, it’s great in a pinch; it’s just not what we want when we’re craving a barista-quality brew on a lazy Saturday morning. That said, making the trek to our local cafe every day and shelling out $7 for a decidedly average cup of bean juice just isn’t fiscally responsible. The only choice, then, is to either resign ourselves to our tried-and-true Folgers or invest in outfitting our at-home coffee station with everything necessary to achieve java perfection without leaving the house.

Luckily, when it comes to creating a coffeeshop-worthy setup, we’re kind of spoiled for choice. You’ve got gadgets of all shapes and sizes, from the compact and portable AeroPress to bulkier units like the Lelit Bianca Espresso Machine. Some hands-on brewers require care and precision, while fully automatic options make an expert latte at the push of a button. But if you prefer the clean, nuanced flavor of a pour-over, you’re pretty much left with only a few options—until now.

Although it certainly isn’t the first, Breville just gave the traditional pour-over a tech-forward upgrade, and it might just change the way we enjoy our morning dose of liquid octane for good. Introducing the new Spiral Luxe Auto Pour-Over, Breville’s attempt to make pour-over virtually hands-free. In the box, you’ll get the machine, a BPA-free Tritan conical dripper, a 20-ounce glass carafe and lid, 50 conical paper filters, a ClaroSwiss water filter and water hardness test strips. With the press of a button, you can brew a single cup of coffee or a 20-ounce carafe, choose your preferred strength, fine-tune the brew ratio, manage temperature, pour time, and even program pauses.

The attached seven-ounce hopper uses 40 mm flat burrs to precisely grind coffee, while the mesmerizing articulating spout delivers smooth, controlled laminar water flow that evenly saturates the grounds, drawing out the coffee’s flavor notes for a clean, balanced cup. Best of all, it takes up significantly less space than a bulkier full-sized espresso machine. You can also create and save your own custom pour-over by name, preheat and rinse the dripper, filter and carafe, and set Delayed Auto Start to have fresh coffee ready as soon as you wake up.

The only potential drawback is that, compared to a more manual pour-over setup, this fully automated Breville model will set you back a hefty $599.95. Once you come out of the haze of sticker shock, though, when you really think about it, $600 is a small price to pay for cafe-quality coffee at home. Even factoring in the cost of beans, the Spiral Luxe Auto pays for itself in just a few uses. To get you started on the savings, Breville is also giving shoppers two free bags of fresh beans with their purchase, plus 25 percent off future coffee orders.

No wonder fans are saying they have “Literal goosebumps” over this “INSANE” new innovation. Of course, once you’re all set on the coffee front, you’ve got to think about breakfast, and Breville’s got you covered there too, with the new Eye Q 850 Auto Toaster. It’s the first-ever toaster that uses sensors to detect the color of your toast rather than relying on a timer, ensuring perfect toast every time. How’s that for innovation?

At this rate, we’re starting to think Breville should update all our home appliances.

Georgie Fame, the acclaimed British musician, turned the infamous story of an outlaw couple into his 1967 hit “The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde,” a song that continues to stand the test of time nearly six decades later.

Initially released as a standalone single before being featured as an opening track on his studio album The Third Face of Fame, the jazz-pop song captured the hearts of listeners, becoming one of Fame’s biggest commercial successes.

“The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde” was his highest-charting song on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 7, while it reached No. 1 on the Official UK Charts. It became the jazz singer’s third No. 1 hit, alongside “Yeh Yeh” and “Get Away,” all released in the 1960s.

Written by Mitch Murray and Pete Callender, the British songwriting duo revealed that they were inspired by the 1967 film Bonnie and Clyde.

“We both decided that they had blown the music,” Murray told 1000 UK #1 Hits by Jon Kutner and Spencer Leigh, via Songfacts. “They should have had a hit song and so we thought we’d write one.”

At that time, the songwriters considered giving “The Ballad of Bonnie and Clyde” to Joe Brown or Lonnie Donegan but felt neither was the right fit for the track.

“Then the managing director of CBS told Peter that they had signed Georgie Fame and were looking for a big hit,” he added. “We added a special jazzy bit for Georgie – ‘Bonnie and Clyde got to be Public Enemy Number One’ as we thought that would sell it to him, but he wasn’t very keen on the song. We did a demo with machine guns and skidding cars and we were asked to go to the session with our sound effects.”

With Fame’s standout track, the song’s catchy sound sparked interest among fellow musicians, with several artists releasing their own reimagined versions, including Johnny Hallyday in 1968 with the French-language version titled “L’histoire de Bonnie and Clyde.”

That same year, The Ventures recorded a guitar-heavy version for their 1968 studio album Flights of Fantasy.

Other notable covers included Glen Campbell’s acoustic-driven version and a version by famed orchestral conductor André Kostelanetz, which was featured on his album For the Young at Heart.

If your shoe collection is feeling a little crowded with summer pairs and fall favorites competing for space, now’s a good time to get organized. Walmart has the Bgtrend Expandable Metal Shoe Rack currently on sale in two sizes. The five-tier version is priced at just $20, down from $37, and the seven-tier model is going for $23, down from $43.

The five-tier version adjusts from 16.7 to 30.7 inches wide and measures 33.5 inches high and 9.8 inches deep. It can hold up to 20 pairs of shoes, with each shelf supporting up to 30 pounds. If you need more space, the seven-tier option adds two more levels for larger shoe collections or when you need more height.

One of the biggest perks of an expandable organizer is that you don’t have to measure an open spot and hope a fixed-size rack fits. You can adjust the width depending on where you put it, which is super helpful if you’re working with a narrow closet or awkwardly sized space. And if your storage needs to change later, you can just extend or condense it instead of replacing the whole thing. 

One reviewer said it was “easy to assemble” and “sturdy,” while another “loved the extension capability,” adding that it “made it look custom built.” Someone else who appreciated the adjustable width said it “fit perfectly in my closet,” and several others similarly praised being able to tailor the rack to the space they had available.

You don’t have to keep it tucked inside a closet, either. Its slim and versatile frame could sit by the front door for everyday shoes, in a mudroom for messier boots, or in the garage for pairs you’d rather not track through the house. The shelves can also hold bags, boxes, or toolboxes, helping you use space that might otherwise go unused.

YA readers know Alexis Patton for her bestselling novels in the Us Dark Few dystopian series. She has pushed the boundaries of conventional storytelling and embraces the human experience. Now it’s time for her to step into the world of adult fiction, and she is doing it in style.

Working with Lunar Literary Agency, Patton has landed a seven-figure deal with Sourcebooks, and there isn’t just one coming in her new series. Her adult debut is a three-book deal called The Invoker trilogy, with the first book scheduled for publication in winter 2028.

The Invoker trilogy is a new adult dark academia romantasy series that will follow 30-year-old Nova Andrews on a fantastical journey after receiving a mysterious invitation to the Invoker Academy. She decides to leave her dead-end job, cheating ex, and crushing debt behind for an institution that Google is sure doesn’t exist.

Well, sometimes, Google doesn’t know everything! And in this case, she finds out that the institution offering what seems to be the impossible is everything she needs. Of course, magic, secrets, and power collide, and she ends up with more than her own life and future at stake.

For the longest time, romantasy has followed younger women, usually in their teens or early 20s, as they discover everything life has to offer and romance to boot. Self-discovery doesn’t have an expiration date. It’s never too late to start over and take chances, and Patton brings that realization to life through Nova’s story.

Angie Ojeda Hazen of Lunar Literary Agency brokered the deal with Sourcebooks on Patton’s behalf. In a press release, Meg Gibbons, senior editor at Sourcebooks, shared, “Alexis is an incredible storyteller, and we have been honored to help launch her onto the YA shelf. Now, we’re thrilled to bring her extraordinary storytelling to adult readers everywhere. Building on the success of Us Dark Few, we couldn’t be more excited to embark on this next adventure with Alexis and her team, one filled with a richly imagined world, irresistible magic, and of course, a new take on enemies to lovers that readers will devour.”

Hazen shared a few reasons why The Invoker trilogy is a bold expansion of the romantasy genre, saying, “Alexis has created a thrilling, emotionally grounded story for readers who want to see women in their thirties step into their power. Nova’s journey is about magic, romance, and survival, but it’s also about realizing that life doesn’t stop offering adventure at a certain age. I’m incredibly proud to represent Alexis and delighted that Meg Gibbons and the Sourcebooks team share our vision for this series.”

Under the deal, Patton will retain several subsidiary rights, including film and television, merchandise, graphic audio, and foreign-language translation rights. Sourcebooks will control the North American rights under the major acquisition.

The Invoker will be the first of the three books, slated for a winter 2028 release. Stay tuned for more details about something Patton says is a “dream come true.”

Verity is a psychological thriller that was released by Colleen Hoover in 2018. It was a bestselling novel that spent over 100 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. It was also nominated for a Goodreads Choice Award for Best Romance and won the British Book Award for Pageturner.

The book has been adapted into a film starring Anne Hathaway, Dakota Johnson, and Josh Hartnett. Hartnett recently spoke about the process of filming, revealing that intimacy coordination played a major role.

“Intimacy coordination played a big part,” Hartnett said in an interview with ABC News Live Prime. “But when you’re working with amazing actors and professionals who understand the wrote and the writ and a director like Michael Showalter who likes to keep things alive and fun on set, we became fast friends, and so all that stuff just felt kind of goofy.” 

He continued, “We laughed a lot on this set, and if we were ever to make another movie together, it would have to be a comedy, but obviously this one is not, so we had to keep a straight face occasionally.”

He also spoke about the natural chemistry between the cast. “As I said, we got along really well, and when you get along with people, and you have a director who understands what’s needed from you, you can create that chemistry sort of in a way like a puzzle. There are certain things that lead to other things in the narrative that I think build on that chemistry, and we got along really well, so we could play with those dynamics.”

According to Deadline, “Verity follows renowned author Verity Crawford (Hathaway) and Lowen Ashleigh (Johnson), a struggling writer who relocates to the remote Crawford estate to ghostwrite for Verity. After Lowen uncovers what appears to be Verity’s chilling autobiographical notes, she wrestles with the disturbing and twisted confessions about Verity’s husband Jeremy (Hartnett), and finds it hard to separate fiction from reality, manipulation from attraction, and opportunity from obsession.”

The holiday season is finally (unofficially) here and if you’re one of the folks who like to get your Christmas shopping out of the way before Halloween even hits, then boy do I have a treat for you. And if you’re an avid DIYer (or need to gift someone who falls into that category), you may want to buckle up because this is especially for you.

This year, The Home Depot has the perfect gift for just about anyone on your list and it comes fully equipped with an “ugly” sweater that you’d probably want to wear more than you’d care to admit. The Home Depot Holiday Sweater is the must-have gift for DIYers, new home buyers or even just those who think of the store as absolute paradise. Why you ask? Well, why I’m inclined to say it’s because the sweater itself is just cute to boot, it may be because you get over $200 worth of tools included for just $29.99. And no, that wasn’t a typo.

So, what do you get with this new first-of-its-kind drop? Well to start, you get a festive orange and green knit sweater that dons The Home Depot written across the chest in white. The sweater, which features pockets that replicate the traditional smock The Home Depot employees wear, will hold eight handy tools that will be helpful when you’re decking the halls of the house for the holidays.

Inside each pocket, you’ll find Husky’s 6-in-1 Screwdriver, 25-foot Tape Measure, 8-inch Standard Slip Joint Pliers, and the 850 Lumens Dual Power LED Rechargeable Wide Angle Headlamp. Additionally, there will be a DEWALT 9-inch Torpedo Level as well ass a pack of Command Clear Outdoor Light Clips and a Mechanical Pencil with Replacement Lead 10-Pack. If that isn’t enough to seal the deal for ya, The Home Depot is even throwing in a $50 peppermint-scented gift card to use at the store for anything else you may need to get the party moving along.

Now, if you’re not a person who loves to tinker with things around the house, then this may not be the gift of a lifetime for you. But for someone like me who became a first-time homeowner a few years back and someone with two giant breed dogs who love to parkour all over the house and break stuff up, this not-so-ugly ugly sweater drop is really the bees knees.

There is one catch though that you should know about. If you’re planning to walk into your local Home Depot and pick one of these out off of the shelves, think again. This very limited-edition drop will only be available online beginning Oct. 1 at 11 a.m. EST while supplies last. But, if you happen to miss that one (which is today, BTW!), then you can try your luck again on Oct. 15 with hope you’ll be able to call one of these special sweaters your own.

Now, I don’t know about you, but I’m counting down the minutes until I can drop one of these in my cart. And, if you happen to see me and both of my giant dogs sporting one of these, just mind your business!
