Jason Aldeanis getting honest about the tricky moment that came before recording a duet with his wife, Brittany Aldean.

While working on his latest album Songs About Us, the country star revealed he wasn’t entirely sure how things would go once Brittany stepped into the studio for the first time.

“We're gonna go try this. If it's bad, it's not going on the record, you know, it's kind of a tough conversation to have with your wife,” he admitted in an interview with Amazon Music which he shared to Instagram on Friday, May 1.

The hesitation came from the unknown. “She had never been in the studio before and so to take her in, it was like I kind of didn't know what to expect either,” Jason, 49, explained. But his doubts quickly faded once they got started. “We went in there and, and she crushed it. It turned out awesome.”

The result was “Easier Gone,” and during a recent live show, Jason shared that the collaboration had been in the works for a while, but he wasn’t going to force it. Instead, the right song had to come along organically. Once it did, he knew Brittany, 37, was the perfect fit, praising her ability to harmonize and calling her “a really great singer.”

Jason hinted that fans may not have seen the last of Brittany in the studio, or even on stage. “Who knows, you may see more of that stuff in the future; you might even see it live at some point” he teased to the crowd in a video shared by Country Now on Facebook April 24.

Beyond the music, the couple’s dynamic is refreshingly human. Jason has previously shared that while they don’t always agree, they’ve learned to move past disagreements rather than let them linger. "I just think that sometimes you realize that you're just not always going to see eye to eye on things,” he shared with Fox News Digital on April 28.

Acting legend Joanna Lumley celebrates their 80th birthday today.

Born on May 1, 1946, in Kashmir, India, daughter of a Gurkha officer, Lumley spent her early childhood in Hong Kong and Malaysia before the family returned to England when she was eight.

She found fame in the 1960s as a model before becoming a household name with her role of Purdey in 1976's The New Avengers. She starred alongside Patrick Macnee and Gareth Hunt, and became known for her signature Purdey hairstyle. Later, Joanna continued her TV reign, playing Sapphire in the 1979–1982 fantasy series Sapphire & Steel, opposite David McCallum, as reported by Hello!

On film, Lumley played a Bond girl in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), appearing as one of Blofeld's Angels of Death. Her other film credits, per IMDB, include Trail of the Pink Panther (1982), Curse of the Pink Panther (1983), Shirley Valentine (1989), James and the Giant Peach (1996), Ella Enchanted (2004), Corpse Bride (2005), and The Wolf of Wall Street (2013).

Joanna found a whole new audience in the 1990s when she took on the hilarious role of Patsy in Absolutely Fabulous. With a blond beehive and a saucy anecdote, she instantly became a comedy icon and took home two Bafta awards. "To this day, wherever I go in the world, there is always a gaggle of Patsy fans, often dolled up to the nines and looking terribly glamorous. Very few females. Mostly men!" she said about her iconic comedy character, per OK!

More recently, Joanna returned to British comedy as the snobby mother of the lead character in Amandaland. The show follows a middle-class mother as she navigates life after divorce, juggles work and her family, and tries to make new friends at her children's school. Always one to reinvent herself, Joanna has recently been seen in Netflix's Wednesday, where she plays Grandmama Hester Frump.

Off-screen, Joanna is a passionate activist known for her advocacy for human rights, animal welfare, and environmental conservation. She used her public profile in the UK to work on the Gurkha Justice Campaign in 2008, and encourage the British government to grant settlement rights to thousands of retired Gurkha veterans who had served in the British Army. 

In recent years, the actress has spent her life traveling the world and making documentaries about her experiences and her travel documentaries exploring destinations such as Japan, the Silk Road, and the Nile.

Lumley married conductor and composer Stephen Barlow in Scotland in 1986, following a brief marriage with actor Jeremy Lloyd between 1970 and 1971. She has a son, born in 1967, from her brief relationship with photographer Michael Claydon.

Long before Dazed and Confusedcruised into the zeitgeist with its windows rolled down and ’70s rock turned up, Fast Times at Ridgemont High was already setting the tone. An instant cult classic with a banging soundtrack, the teen film is just as popular today as Phoebe Catesprobably was back in high school. And bonus: The 1982 film was just mentioned in Ultimate Classic Rock’s best rock movies of all time. 

Stacked with hit singles by Stevie Nicks, Graham Nash, and four former Eagles, as well as contributions from Sammy Hagar, Jimmy Buffett, and TheGo-Go’s, the soundtrack was a commercial hit. Released in July 1982, the album peaked at No. 54 on the Billboard 200, with Jackson Browne’s “Somebody’s Baby” soaring to No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100.

An iconic soundtrack is a natural fit, given Cameron Crowe’s background as the film’s screenwriter. Long known for his deep ties to the music world, Crowe was working as a freelance writer for Rolling Stoneat the time. To gather material for a nonfiction book he was writing on the side, he went undercover at a San Diego high school. According to Mental Floss, that book was published in 1981, then adapted for the big screen a year later. Two decades later, Crowe churned out another semi-autobiographical gem: Almost Famous.

Directed by Amy Heckerling (Clueless, Vamps), Fast Times follows a group of Southern California high school students, with the main narrative focused on Jennifer Jason Leigh’s Stacy Hamilton, a freshman dying to lose her virginity, and Phoebe Cates’ Linda Barrett, Stacy’s more “experienced” best friend. Over the course of the reel, relations are had, hearts are shattered, and the real world’s tough love is served up cold on a plastic lunch tray with a side of ketchup.

“Amy was very protective of my script,” Crowe writes in his memoir, The Uncool, via The Hollywood Reporter. “She loved the idea of the movie, a story about kids with almost no adults in it at all. Just like in my book, most of the action was set around the local mall.”

The film rounds up a who’s who of pre-Hollywood superstars, with Nicolas Cage, Forest Whitaker, and Pamela Springsteen all contributing. Perhaps the most memorable character, Jeff Spicoli, went to Sean Penn, who Crowe says put on a master class of deadpan stoner comedy.

Today, the film that launched the teen movie craze of the 1980s remains an authentic, gritty depiction of young life, letting the chaos, heartbreak, and comedy exist all at once. And all to the tune of one heckuva soundtrack.

If you’re like me and thought the snow this year was particularly brutal in the north, it may be time to start searching for that retirement home in one of these popular Florida cities. Home prices and values boomed during the pandemic, but they’ve since eased, making it a perfect time to buy.

Keep up with all things real estate by signing up for Parade's daily newsletter!

Best Places to Buy

The biggest choice you'll need to make is between quiet luxury, a bustling social life, or proximity to cities. Whether you’re an empty nester looking to downsize or a retiree ready to leave the cold behind, Florida real estate is within your reach.

Cape Coral-Fort Myers and Lakeland-Winter Haven

Places like Cape Coral-Fort Myers saw some of the largest drops, averaging 9%, taking the median home price down to $341,250, while affordable cities like the Lakeland-Winter Haven area have become places for retired adults to build wealth through their homes. Florida real estate is only going to continue to appreciate as more people migrate around the country.

Ocala

Are you looking for a quiet place to relax, or is your vibe more active? Depending on how you like to spend your time, you may want to choose one region over another. Ocala is for horse lovers, often being dubbed “The Horse Capital of the World” and boasts an impressive number of active residents who love continued learning, golf, and a variety of other activities. 

Naples-Immokalee-Marco Island

Luxury resides in the Naples-Immokalee-Marco Island region, with homes becoming more affordable. The catch is that insurance prices have climbed over the years, particularly in areas prone to hurricane damage. Don’t let that deter you, however, because an April report shows that insurance prices are leveling off across the entire state. More companies are entering the market, and fewer claims are being made. This is great news for home buyers who want to live in a slice of paradise without paying the highest premiums.

Time to Buy

For several years, owning a home in the Sunshine State may have felt out of reach. Prices soared during the pandemic as working professionals left their expensive city apartments in exchange for homes where they could work remotely. 

Now, however, prices have begun to stabilize, leaving retirees or anyone on the brink in a great position to buy. Choosing a place to live in Florida no longer has to rely on price. Buyers can choose a city that meets their social needs and fits their budget. The only thing left to do is pack.

53 years ago today, on May 1, 1973, Deep Purple released their blues rock anthem “Smoke on the Water” as a single in the US. The official debut followed their releases of “Never Before” and “Highway Star,” all of which appeared on the same successful album, 1972’s Machine Head. 

Written by Deep Purple’s Mark II lineup, which consisted of Ian Gillan, Roger Glover, Richie Blackmore, Jon Lord, and Ian Paice, “Smoke on the Water” features one of the most instantly recognizable guitar riffs, making it a timeless anthem beloved by new generations.

Success of the Song

Despite its distinctive quality, the headbanger, which includes just four notes in G minor and is originally played on a Fender Stratocaster, didn’t reach the top of any chart. The tune’s highest charting position stood at No. 3 on the Cash Box Top 100, a chart that competed with Billboard’s at the time. The song also reached No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.

While the song didn’t make it to No. 1, the band didn’t expect it to take off the way that it had, according to Men’s Journal. 

Inspired by a Fire

In fact, the inspiration for “Smoke on the Water” came to band member Glover following a fire that broke out inside the venue where the band was supposed to record their Machine Head album, with the use of The Rolling Stone’s mobile studio they had rented for three weeks. 

The source states that in 1971, while working on the album, the night before they were to record at the Montreux Casino in Switzerland, a person attending Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention's concert at the establishment fired a flare gun at the ceiling, sparking a fire that engulfed the building. 

"It was probably the biggest fire I'd ever seen up to that point and probably ever seen in my life,” Glover told the publication about watching billows of smoke take over the building adjacent to Lake Geneva. “It was a huge building. I remember there was very little panic getting out because it didn't seem like much of a fire at first. But, when it caught, it went up like a fireworks display.”

Since its release, “Smoke on the Water” didn't need to prove itself on a chart, as it has gone on to earn recognition on several lists. The track was voted as the leading song featuring the “Greatest Guitar Riff of All Time” in 2022 by LouderSound.com. Other notable rankings include being listed as one of ‘500 Greatest Songs of All Time’ in 2004 by Rolling Stone and earning a placement on the ‘25 Best Classic Rock Songs of All Time’ by Collider.

Taylor Swift is no stranger to a lyrical plot twist, but there's one song from her discography that she believes has the best unexpected ending.

In her new interview with the New York Times, Swift sat down to discuss some of her greatest songwriting feats, and as far as plot twists go, Swift said a song from her folklore album takes the cake.

"My favorite end plot twist I think that I've done in songwriting is the ending of 'The Last Great American Dynasty.' That's my favorite one."

"It is just so much fun to tell this story about this real woman who lived in history and she defied the social norms and she drove people crazy," Swift said of the narrative that plays out in the song, which is based on the real life of composer and socialite Rebekah Harkness. Quoting the lyrics to her own song, Swift, 36, said of Harkness, "She had a marvelous time ruining everything."

The song goes on to mention "Holiday House," the name of Rebekah's former saltbox house on the coast of Rhode Island. By the end of the story, listeners find out that Rebekah moved away from Holiday House, and 50 years later it was bought by another woman with a big reputation (spoiler alert: it's Swift). While paraphrasing her own lyrics, Swift said, "In the end..she moved away from Holiday House. It sat quietly on that beach, free of women with madness, their men and bad habits. And then it was bought by me."

Fans learn by the end of the track that Swift was referring to her famous Rhode Island beachfront home in Rhode Island, which she purchased in 2013 for $17.75 million, according to the Providence Journal.

"The Last Great American Dynasty" is a fan-favorite track from her folklore album, which came out in 2020 and won Album of the Year at the 2021 Grammys. It was also included on the setlist for the first portion of the Eras Tour (though it was later cut to make room for the Tortured Poets Department set).

"Every time I get to that part, when I would sing it on tour...I wanted my grin to go from here to here," Swift added in her NYT interview, gesturing to both sides of her head by her ears. "But that looks crazy. So it's like I had to, like, taper down my own excitement."

What is Hallmark's 'Kentucky Roses' about?

Greenhouse worker Sadie (Annable) and a CEO's son Ash (Walker) form an unlikely pair, when they come together to save the Kentucky Derby rose blanket and uncover a generational love story along the way.

Kentucky Roses unfolds across two timelines—present day and 1932—at Churchill Downs. In present day, Sadie Moore (Annable) works in the Churchill Downs greenhouse—dreaming of becoming a florist and one day contributing to the Derby’s garland of roses—just like her great-grandmother, Gloria (Ally Ledford) did.

As Derby Day approaches, Sadie meets Ash, the son of Churchill Downs’ CEO (Gregg Henry). He's been asked to do an emergency repair on the iconic Twin Spires—the venue's famous twin towers that crown its grandstand—after a storm left one damaged. Both Sadie and Ash feel the weight of family legacy and the desire to carve out their own paths.

There’s no denying that many classic films owe part of their legacy to unforgettable title tracks. While the 1978 musical romantic comedyGrease defined a generation of fans, its iconic theme song also rose to the top of the charts, becoming a hit in its own right.

John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John starred in the hit film Grease as Danny Zuko and Sandy Olsson during the greaser era of the late '50s. It followed the two teenagers as they re-meet at the start of a new year in high school after falling in love over the summer. Grease went on to become the highest-grossing film of that year and earned an Oscar nomination. Alongside its storyline, the film also became a classic thanks to its soundtrack.

Besides "You're the One that I Want," Grease's title track also dominated the Billboard Hot 100 charts that celebrated the greaser era. Bee Gees' very own Barry Gibb developed the track "Grease, with Frankie Vallias vocals, and it was released as a single for the motion picture.

With Grease having originally been a 1971 on-stage musical, "Grease" was one of the four original songs commissioned for the film that never appeared in the play. It's also one of the only tracks from the original soundtrack not performed by the movie cast.

As the story goes, Gibb had enlisted the help of Peter Frampton to play guitar for the song's development session. Gibbs also served as the main vocals before turning to Valli, who had a similar vocal range. Valli was also chosen due to his popularity as a singer from the pre-British Invasion era, when Grease takes place. When Valli agreed to record the track, he had no recording contract, with the film's title track earning him a deal with Warner Bros.

In an interview with Billboard in 2013, Vallie revealed he was given the option of performing the track or appearing in the film.

"Well, I had already heard the title song, and I loved it. I called [famed arranger] Don Costa up and told him to come over right away and hear this song. He said, 'If you don't record this song, you're crazy,'" he explained.

If he had appeared in Grease, he would have performed "Beauty School Dropout," which was instead performed by Frankie Avalon. Despite that track also becoming popular, "'Grease' was one of the biggest records I ever had in my career."

"Grease" went on to dominate the Billboard Hot 100 charts at No. 1 and landed at No. 13 on the Adult Contemporary charts. Fans can hear the track during the animated opening scene of the film and during its ending. Valli would later release a follow-up album mimicking the lyrics of the track, with "Grease" having been one of his top hits as a solo artist.

Pierce Brosnan is known for his dashing good looks, but the beloved Irish actor is almost unrecognizable in the new trailer for Giant.

The handsome actor, 72, who has tackled diverse roles in films ranging from Mrs. Doubtfire to James Bond flicks like Tomorrow Never Dies and The World is Not Enough, plays a boxing coach in Giant, which is executive-produced by none other than Sylvester Stallone. The film is based on the childhood and life of British-Yemeni boxer Naseem 'Naz' Hamed, PEOPLE reports. But it's Brosnan who shocks in the trailer, sporting thinning white hair in the role of Hamad's trainer, Brendan Ingle.

"Based on the remarkable true story of legendary British-Yemeni boxing champion Prince Naseem 'Naz' Hamed and his relationship with Irish boxing trainer Brendan Ingle, Giant charts Naz's inspiring rags-to-riches underdog tale from his humble beginnings in Sheffield to becoming champion of the world," an official synopsis reads.

Check out Brosnan's shocking transformation in the trailer below:

What's Brosnan's Secret to His Legendary Hair?

While Brosnan sports thinning white hair in the movie, he's known for his lush head of hair in real life. So what's his secret? He had a delightful answer when asked by Page Six why Irishmen seem to have such good heads of hair.

“It’s all in the hair, the old Celtic hair,” he explained, saying that his father, “Dear Tom…had good hair. I have no idea. Maybe it’s in the potatoes, or the butter, or the Guinness.”

When told he’s aging like a fine wine, Brosnan said, “I’m doing my best!”

One of Brosnan's recent roles was opposite Ben Kingsley and Helen Mirren in The Thursday Murder Club, a Netflix murder mystery based on the popular book by Richard Osman. His character is a bit of a departure from some of his most famous roles.

“I’ve done rough-around-the-edges before,” said Brosnan, who knows a thing or two about being slick, as any 007 fan is well aware. “So entrenched in the world of the sophisticated man and Mr. Slick and Mr. Elegance, you know, sometimes you paint yourself into a corner with your own…you get hoisted by your own canard so to speak! It’s paid the rent over the years and given me the great joy of having the career that I’ve got.”

Here’s a sentence most people never thought they would say—Is Barron Trump a time traveler? Apparently, conspiracy theorists have suggested that President Donald Trump’s youngest son has indeed traveled through time. And Lara Trump (Eric Trump’s wife and the Presdient’s daughter-in-law) isn’t here for it.

What is the Barron Trump Time Traveler Conspiracy?

As far as conspiracy theories go, this one is pretty out there. The now-viral theory relies heavily on a connection between the President’s 20-year-old son and the protagonist of author Ingersoll Lockwood’s 19th-century novels, The Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump and his Wonderful Dog Bulger, The Last President, and Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey.

In the books, a boy named Baron Trump (note the different spelling) is a time traveler who lives in ‘Trump Castle’ and is mentored by ‘Don.’ Hence, the association between the IRL Trumps and the fictional 1890s characters. 

The Last President is filled with more than a few somewhat uncanny and almost eerie parallels between the novel’s fictional president and Donald Trump, including a chaotic, contested election, riots on Fifth Avenue (the location of Trump Tower), and a cabinet appointee named Pence.  

Of course, the conspiracy doesn’t end there. Donald Trump’s uncle, MIT physicist John G. Trump, reportedly reviewed Nikola Tesla’s work after the scientist’s death in 1943. The story goes that Trump (John, that is) didn’t find anything of interest in the papers. Or at least, that’s what he said. Some conspiracy theorists believe that the physicist did find information about time travel and shared it with his family. And that would be how Donald Trump supposedly came into the machine that his son Barron uses to travel through time.

Even though there is a fictional time-traveling Baron Trump, Lara Trump wants nothing to do with the “wild” theory. When asked about Barron on a recent episode of herLara Trump Wanted for Questioning podcast, she said, “What is this? I’ve seen this out there. All of it is wild.” She went on to add, “I’m not trying to ruin anybody or rain on any parades here, Barron Trump is not a time traveler. Sorry to say it. I’m sorry I broke a lot of people’s hearts today. Yeah, I think the theory is crazy, obviously.”

Lara continued, explaining, “Name me one time traveler…people have gotten so far off the rails on this Barron being a time traveler thing.” The Trump family member continued, “I’ve known Barron for 18 years, okay? He’s not a time traveler. I’ve seen him grow up.” 

Trump later compared this conspiracy to other well-known theories, saying, “If you believe that, you may be a person who believes we didn’t really land on the moon. We’re going back. Artemis II just circled around the dark side of the moon!”

Staying active has always been part of Dick Van Dyke’s routine, even well into his 90s.

The Hollywood legend’s wife, Arlene Silver, shared a throwback video from 2021 on her Instagram story on Friday, May 1, that is seriously impressive. In the clip, Van Dyke—who would have been around 95 at the time—is seen working out on the floor using an ab cruncher machine, showing off his strength.

At one point, the actor effortlessly lifts his legs with ease while lying back, circling them in the air. He even pauses to wave at the camera, flashing his signature charm mid-exercise. 

A screenshot of Arlene Silvers Instagram story on May 1, 2026.

While the video may be from a few years ago, Van Dyke has always been serious about his health, even up until his 100th birthday last December. In his book 100 Rules for Living to 100 (which was released in November 2025), Van Dyke shared that he still aims to get to the gym “three times a week.” His workouts typically involve a full circuit, moving from one machine to the next, starting with core work before transitioning into lower- and upper-body exercises.

“It’s the music that really gets me going,” he wrote in the book. “By the end of my workout, I’m in a sweaty rush…and my spirits are soaring.” He also revealed he relies on little treats to help motivate him through his exercise which include “a huge smoothie and/or frothy caffeine treat after my workout,” or a post-sweat nap.

And it appears that mindset has certainly stuck. Van Dyke was spotted dancing during a Malibu event celebrating the groundbreaking of a new urgent care center on April 27. In a video shared online by his photographer, he could be seen tapping his heels and shimmying in his chair to live music, smiling as he chatted with Herb Alpert. Cane in hand, he moved along to the rhythm, with Silver seated in between the two legends.

Your skin changes with age, and your skincare routine should evolve with it. For women over 50 years old, dryness, loss of firmness, fine lines, and uneven tone can become more noticeable. So, it’s key to create a skincare routine that combats those issues. A major part of that is choosing the right skincare products that help keep skin looking hydrated and smooth, without complicating your regimen. 

Dermatologists recently told Parade that the best skincare routine is one you’ll stick to daily. But with so many products on the market, choosing the right ones for a consistent regimen can be a feat in itself.

To help, we sifted through the top skincare products from Isomers to create the perfect shopping list of essential products for mature skin. If you’re not familiar, Isomers has been around for over 30 years, and has built a loyal following thanks to its focus on anti-aging skincare products. Not only are they on sale, but now through May 3 you can get free shipping sitewide. 

Wrinkle Reducing Retinol

Famed Esthetician Shani Darden told Parade that retinol is the no. 1 product she recommends to women over 50. “Retinol is the most effective anti-aging ingredient and one of my absolute favorite ingredients for glowing, youthful skin,” Darden says. She says that it works at the surface level to help repair fine lines and wrinkles, and also "dark spots and uneven tone." She added that retinol "not only helps decrease the signs of aging, but can also help reverse the signs of aging.”

Skin Plumping Peptides

Peptide serums can “improve the texture, hydration and resilience,” of your skin, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Dara Spearman, founder of Radiant Dermatology Associates, told Parade. That also extends to eye creams, so try to choose eye creams that contain peptides.

Olga Parno, founder of the skincare brand Masktini, told Parade, “Make sure your eye cream is suitable for both day and night use and contains anti-aging ingredients such as retinol, peptides and Vitamin C to keep the eye area looking smooth and youthful.”

Hydrating Face Creams and Moisturizers 

Hydration is also critical for mature skin. “Sunscreen, retinoid, vitamin C, peptides and hydration—these are your non-negotiables,” Dr. Said told Parade. “Everything else is refinement.” Dr. Said also noted that you should choose formulas that  “correct glycation and strengthen the barrier.”

The Central U.S. is still catching its breath after a violent start to the week, with a string of tornadoes and giant hail battering the region. While the most dangerous "supercells" have since moved on, a new weather system is beginning to brew for the weekend—this time setting its sights further south. If you're planning on traveling to the Gulf Coast area this weekend, here's what you need to know.

Recapping a Week of "Giant" Hail and Tornadoes

Monday, April 27, proved to be a historic day of destruction for parts of the Midwest. An extended period of severe weather slammed into central and southeast Illinois, with National Weather Service damage surveys confirming five EF1 tornadoes between Logan and Champaign counties.

According to The Guardian, the storms brought "giant" hail and widespread straight-line winds of 70 to 80 miles per hour. More than 260,000 customers lost power across a massive six-state stretch, including Missouri, Illinois, Kentucky, and Michigan. Tragically, one fatality was reported in Grand Rapids, Michigan, after a tree fell during the high-wind event. In Clinton County, Illinois, the sheriff described the damage as "unbelievable," with mobile homes destroyed and tree limbs penetrating roofs in the Germantown and Trenton areas.

What’s Brewing for the Weekend?

If you’re checking the radar for your Saturday plans, the "bullseye" has shifted away from the Midwest. Forecasters are now tracking an increasing threat of strong to severe storms mainly for the Florida Panhandle, Southeast Georgia, and North-Central Florida on Saturday, May 2. Those with travel planned to those areas should check weather updates frequently and plan for delayed or canceled flights and road closures.

While the massive hail threat isn't as dangerous as the ones predicted for the Midwest earlier this week, these Southern storms are still capable of producing damaging wind gusts between 40 and 60 mph. A stalled front lifting north as a warm front will be the primary trigger for this new round of severe weather. Those in the Midwest, on the other hand, will get a much-needed reprieve with supposed cooler, calmer temperatures.

America is gearing up to celebrate its 250th birthday (the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence), so naturally, the milestone calls for something or someone iconic.

The latest rock legend to join the lineup for the America250PA Commonwealth concert series is the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll herself, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts.

The '80s rock band will join an already star-studded lineup for one night only at Hersheypark Stadium on June 13, 2026.

Previously announced artists on that date include four-time GRAMMY Award-nominated group and Americana Music Association Lifetime Achievement Award winners, The Avett Brothers, featuring Mike Patton.

“The 250th calls for something iconic," said Cassandra Coleman, Executive Director of America250PA, in a press release shared with Parade.

"Joan Jett’s voice has defined rock and roll for generations, and bringing her to an iconic Pennsylvania stage like Hersheypark Stadium connects that energy to a place that shaped the Commonwealth and the country," she continued.

“Rock and roll has always been about freedom and making your own path, so celebrating America’s 250th in Pennsylvania -- the birthplace of our nation -- feels right," Jett said of the performance, adding, "We’re excited to celebrate this milestone with everyone.”

America250 Concert Series

The concert series, which spans several dates, will also include Cole Swindell with special guests Gabby Barrett and The West Point Band at State College on May 23, which is sold out, along with The Fray and First to Eleven on June 6, also sold out at Erie.

The concerts are all free of charge, but tickets are required to enter, and will be available on a first-come, first-served basis at Concerts.America250PA.org.

Joan Jett's 2026 Tour Schedule

This is one of the few shows the legendary guitarist will play in the US, with two California shows scheduled for May 2 and May 23, and an appearance at Bourbon & Beyond in Louisville, KY on Sep. 24.

Earlier this month, the band announced a series of headlining shows in the U.K, marking the first UK headline tour in 16 years for the rockers.

No matter where in the world you are, Boston is never far away. So, the next time you need an instant emotional lift, just cue up the band’s classic rock anthem that defined nostalgia itself, “More Than a Feeling,” and let the goosebumps go wild. 

A cornerstone of arena rock, the 1976 hit belted out by lead vocalist Brad Delp helped shape the sound of the decades that followed, earning its place asone of the greatestclassic rock songs of all time. Released on Boston’s blockbuster self-titled debut, it was an instant success, shooting up to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 — but behind the polished sound was a very different story. Guitarist and composer Tom Scholz actually spent five whole years perfecting the track in his basement.

“Despite that big, polished sound … it was actually recorded using a wealth of custom equipment in Scholz’s basement,” What Hi-Fi? writes. “This is a key reason it took him five years to complete ‘More Than a Feeling,’ with Scholz creating his own hardware and techniques to stack the layered guitar parts and vocals that have since become synonymous with the band.”

Inspired by the cathartic payoff of songs like Left Banke’s 1967 hit “Walk Away Renee,” Scholz injected that same “heart-tugging mood” into “More Than a Feeling,” Rolling Stone notes. The lyrics also carry a personal thread: “Marianne” was based on Scholz’s real-life cousin, a childhood crush from when he was just 10. The result is a song that turns nostalgia into its own muse — a fever dream about a few minutes spent drifting through memory, soundtracked by incredible rock.

“It was written about a fantasy event. But it's one that almost everybody can identify with, of somebody losing somebody that was important to them, and music taking them back there,” Scholz tells Entertainment Weekly. 

For WhatHi-Fi?, they see the track not just as a song that defines nostalgia, but as a universal anthem able to unite the entire musical spectrum, from “classic rock snobs” to “Taylor Swift fans,” and also as a revolutionary technical dream.

“As well as sounding nice, it’s also a trailblazing song that laid the groundwork for the garage recording, home-produced revolution that has been keeping smaller acts alive and helping new bands get discovered for decades now,” the outlet writes. “Boston, we doff our collective caps to you!”

This year, "More Than a Feeling" celebrates 50 years on the airwaves. Still, the song remains exactly what its title suggests: More than a feeling, it’s a way back to that version of yourself that feels most alive — reverie spent with the spirit you thought you left behind. Rock on!

For anyone who missed the North American eclipse of 2024, there's good news: the sky is about to deliver an even more amazing spectacle. On Aug. 2, 2027, the moon will simply vanish—and for those positioned in the right place, daylight will surrender to deep twilight for the longest total solar eclipse of the remaining 21st century.

This isn't just another eclipse. NASA has confirmed that the maximum duration will stretch to 6 minutes and 23 seconds, making it the longest stretch of totality until 2114 from easily accessible land. By comparison, the 2024 North American eclipse lasted just 4 minutes and 28 seconds at its peak.

The phenomenon counts on two celestial events working in sync: the moon will be at its closest point to Earth (called perigee), appearing large enough to completely cover the sun, while the sun will hang nearly overhead in North Africa. Scientists say these conditions won't align again for nearly 90 years (aka not in our lifetime).

Where to Actually See It

The path of totality will span a large swath across the globe: from Spain's southern tip at the Straits of Gibraltar, through Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, and Egypt, before crossing into Saudi Arabia and Yemen. The track spans 9,400 miles, meaning roughly 89 million people live within its viewing range.

For those seeking a bucket list trip, you’re in luck: the best viewing spot is in Egypt. Luxor, the ancient temple capital, sits almost directly in the path of totality, where you'll get the full 6 minutes and 19 seconds of darkness—and the weather is on your side since August brings virtually cloudless skies to that region. That's practically a guarantee for eclipse chasers. According to Daily Galaxy, totality will occur at 1:02 pm local time in Luxor.

You can also view it from the coast. Tarifa, at Spain's southern tip, delivers 4 minutes and 39 seconds of totality. Tangier, Morocco, just across the Strait, gets 4 minutes and 50 seconds at 10:45 am local time. And if you want to pair a vacation with your eclipse viewing, consider a cruise: tour operators are already booking Mediterranean voyages that will position passengers perfectly.

What You'll Actually See

During those precious minutes of totality, the moon's shadow will race across Earth's surface at roughly 5,000 miles per hour. You'll witness Baily's Beads—a string of bright points where sunlight streams through the moon's valleys—followed instantly by the diamond ring effect. Then the corona emerges as a pearly halo, and the sky darkens enough to reveal stars and planets in broad daylight.

Just remember: the only safe time to look without eclipse glasses is during totality itself. Even a sliver of direct sunlight will damage your retinas. Certified solar viewing glasses are non-negotiable for every other phase.

The 2027 eclipse is shaping up to be a once-in-a-lifetime event, blending perfect timing with some of the most accessible and stunning viewing spots on the planet. If you've ever wanted to chase the sun, this is the year to make your celestial dreams come true.

It's the year of the hockey romance, and this couple is goals for more reason than one. The HBO show Heated Rivalry has cemented itself in the cultural zeitgeist. Fans of the runaway hit streamer have officially ranked lead characters Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov as one of their favorite TV couples according to The Guardian.

Portrayed by Hudson Williams and Conner Storrie in the series, Heated Rivalry hit streaming in late November of 2025. The show was a smash hit and became the second top driver of viewership to HBO Max in their entire catalog. Additionally, it is Crave's most-watched original series to date. A second season is in the works, set for a 2027 premiere. Storrie and Williams will both return to reprise their roles.

Based on the enemies to lovers romance novel of the same name, Heated Rivalry follows Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov who are star hockey players drafted the same year to rival teams. Shane is more shy and quiet, whereas Ilya is brazen and extremely cocky. After the players spontaneous connect and hook up, they maintain a casual relationship over the years that blossoms into something more. But their relationship is challenged not only by their incredibly different personalities, but by homophobia, other romances, and the overtly competitive nature of their chosen sport.

Heated Rivalry is technically the second book in author Rachel Reid's "Game Changers" series, the first of two that follow Shane and Ilya's partnership. A final book following the beloved couple titled Unrivaled is set for release in the summer of 2027. In addition to the trilogy, Reid has released standalone short stories featuring the couple on her website.

Readers and viewers alike have fallen in love with Shane and Ilya for their wit, charm, and palpable chemistry both on the screen and on the page. Fans are so ready to see where their journeys will take them in the upcoming sequels.

Measuring around 64 inches tall, 17 inches wide, and 12 inches deep, this storage cabinet is ideal for both small and large spaces alike. It builds up, taking advantage of vertical space rather than using up precious floor space. A reviewer commented that this cabinet is the right size for their small living room. 

The panels on the doors are made of acrylic, mimicking the look of glass with its clarity and transparency. Acrylic is a safer option compared to glass, as it's stronger, sturdier, and lighter. The rest of the cabinet is made of medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and shoppers noted that it’s of great quality. The four legs are equipped with adjustable feet to keep the cabinet stable and prevent it from wobbling around.
