Whenever two actors are married, there’s always the hope that they will appear in each other’s shows. So, when Morena Baccarin landed the lead on Sheriff Country, everyone looked out for signs that her husband Ben McKenzie would join her.

Then there were crickets. That is, until now, as Baccarin took to Instagram to share the exciting update. McKenzie has landed a guest spot on Sheriff Country Season 2, and there’s a new sheriff in town.

The reveal was pretty sweet, using trending audio from Family Guy. As Baccarin walks into a room, she is stopped in her tracks by McKenzie sitting down, dressed in some very similar clothing. With the line “Well, one of us is gonna have to change,” the reveal stops without revealing exactly who The OC actor will play.

The good news is CBS revealed all. In the synopsis for the Sheriff Country Season 2 premiere, we learn that McKenzie will play Sheriff Wade, a neighboring sheriff who is called in to assist Mickey Fox. It turns out that there’s a dangerous criminal operation in Edgewater that threatens everyone there, but she can’t tackle this problem alone.

Of course, Wade has some secrets of his own. Are they connected to Mickey? That remains to be seen, but it’s possible that he could cause a few problems for her. Hopefully, she continues to listen to Boone if he gets a bad vibe from the new guy.

Fans couldn’t be more excited for the casting, with one Instagram user sharing, “Detective Gordon 👏 what an amazing actor, good choice”

Another stated: “Ha! The reunion we all needed!!”

The end of the first season left Mickey dealing with finding out that the DEA boss who had questioned her involvement in Wes’ underground activities was her mother, a woman she believed had died when she was just six. She only found out when she initially refused to work with her father in a new operation, only for Eva to pretty much blackmail Mickey into submission. As Wes walked into the room, he was floored by the reveal that his wife was still alive, also believing her to be long dead.

This isn’t the first time Baccarin has worked with her real-life husband. In fact, the two worked together on Gotham, which was where they met and started dating. Fans have waited for this on-screen reunion for years.

While leading Gotham, McKenzie is best known as Ryan Atwood on the 2003 teen drama The OC. He captured hearts, especially as he held a dying Marissa in his arms after the fiery crash — a TV death fans are still not over after all these years!

If it feels like more items are being recalled lately, there’s now some merit to that perception, but not for the reason you might think.

The U.S. is currently at a four-year-high for recalled units across industries.

Sedgwick’s Product Safety and Recall Index report has been released for 2026. It examines recall activity across five major industries: automotive, food and drink, pharmaceutical, medical device, and consumer products. The latest edition analyzes data from January through June.

In 2026, the US is on track to exceed one billion units of recalled products in 2026 after reaching 941.2 million units in the first six months.

This year, there were 1,634 recalls in the first half of 2026, which is only two units off from 1,636 in the first half of 2025. The biggest change isn’t the number of recalls; it’s the volume of products affected.

Recalled units increased by 345.5% year-over-year. Recalls went from 211.2 million units in the first six months of 2025 to 941.2 million units in 2026. If you add July 2026, the total units exceed one billion. This is only the fourth time in the past 15 years that the annual total has surpassed one billion.

“Recall events remained flat at the half-year mark, but the number of products affected tells a very different story,” Chris Harvey, Senior Vice President, Product Innovation and Industry Engagement at Sedgwick, said in a Press Release.

“With 941 million units already recalled, businesses cannot mistake stable event totals for stable exposure risk,” Harvey continued. “Today’s risk environment is defined less by how often recalls occur and more by the scale and complexity of those that do. A single large recall can quickly transform a company’s operational, financial, and reputational risk, making tested response plans and accurate, rapid communication essential.”

Food and drink have been a major contributor to the increase in volume. Food recalled by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) grew by 2,432.1% to 37.2 million pounds. That marks 2026 as the third-highest year in more than 15 years.

Tom Selleck is heading back to television with a surprising role that’s a sharp contrast to his lengthy run on Blue Bloods.

Selleck, 81, became a TV superstar in the role of private investigator Thomas Magnum in the hit television series Magnum, P.I., which ran from 1980 to 1988. Set in Hawaii, the show follows Magnum (and his famous mustache) as he cruises around in a Ferrari. After Magnum ended in 1988, Selleck had several successful film roles like Three Men and a Baby, and a run on Friends as Dr. Richard Burke. He eventually found another powerhouse series in the aughts with Blue Bloods, in which he played NYC Police Commissioner Frank Reagan for 14 seasons alongside Donnie Wahlberg and Bridget Moynahan. But now, the star is tackling something pretty different: He’ll join the guest-starring cast of Apple TV‘s upcoming Elizabeth Banks comedy series, Deadline reported.

While the series doesn’t have a title yet, it follows Heidi (Banks), who is fresh off a messy divorce and sets out to secure a lively second act for herself and her kids. Heidi finds herself coordinating her father’s retirement community sexcapades and is forced into an unlikely alliance with his girlfriend’s perpetually single son, the piece noted.

Her father, by the way, is played by none other than Ted Danson, who famously appeared onscreen with Selleck in Three Men and a Baby. The stacked cast also includes Rob Delaney, Katey Sagal, Jared Goldstein, and Spencer Moss. Hamish Linklater, Michelle Buteau, and Simu Liu will also appear in recurring roles.

Selleck Says He Initially Refused ‘Magnum, P.I.’—Here’s What Changed His Mind

CBS Photo Archive / Getty Images

In a recent interview with Danson and Woody Harrelson on the Where Everybody Knows Your Name podcast, Selleck admitted that he initially refused to take on the role in the way it was written.

“The show, incidentally, was called Magnum. And I hated it,” he said, Entertainment Weekly reported. “It was terrible.” 

Legendary Rockford Files star James Garner then explained to Selleck that he’d “never have more power than you do right now” if the studio really wanted him in the role, which he was contractually obligated to star in. As a result, he decided to wield his power.

“And I said no to the studio. And Jim Garner, in a way, just kind of saved my life,” Selleck said. “I would have been long gone from that version of Magnum. But it was a big fight for a long time.”

Selleck Met The Writer That Changed Everything

Originally dissatisfied with the direction the writing was going, Selleck met with three different writers to see how they’d pivot the role. He met Donald P. Bellisario, and it all clicked into place.

“[He] had lunch with me and he says, ‘What do you want to do?’ I said, ‘I want to do something like Rockford Files. I want a character with flaws and some heart.’ And he said, ‘Say no more,’” Selleck said. “He did it. And he came back in about two weeks with the best TV movie I had ever read at the time. And it was called Magnum.”

Chaka Khan says she’s officially “partnered out.”

The Queen of Funk, 73, gave a candid relationship update in a new interview with the UK’s The Observer, where she was asked about the inspiration behind a lyric on her upcoming album, “Chakzilla.” She declined to elaborate, explaining that talking too openly about what she wants tends to backfire. “I’m just going to mosey along and let life do what it do,” she told The Observer.

Khan has been married twice. Her first marriage, to Hassan Khan in 1970 when she was just 17, ended in divorce a year later. She later married Richard Holland in 1976; the couple had a son, Damien, before divorcing in 1980. Between the two marriages, Khan welcomed a daughter, Indira, now 52, with Rahsaan Morris in 1973.

The singer has been open in the past about how those marriages shaped her view of relationships. In a 2017 interview with The Guardian, she said both husbands left her unsure whether they loved her or the persona attached to her stage name. “It would take a man of biblical proportions for me to marry again,” she said at the time.

Three years earlier, Khan told the Daily Mail that the idea of being in a relationship again was actually one of her biggest fears. “Being in a relationship is my biggest fear because it renders one so helpless,” she said. She’s also joked in the past that she’s not even cut out to keep a pet, let alone a husband.

Khan’s dating remarks come as she gears up for the September release of “Chakzilla,” her first new album in years, keeping the 11-time Grammy winner, who received the Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award earlier this year, firmly in the spotlight well past her decades-long run atop the funk and R&B charts.

Which Cher song matches you, based on your birth month? Astrology reveals the answers. When it comes to singing, nothing beats the silky, sexy voice of a Taurus, and Cher is the perfect embodiment of this statement! Born on May 20, 1946, the Goddess of Pop launched her music and television career as part of a duo with Sonny Bono, reflecting her destined path towards partnership and creative self-expression.

Once her industrious Capricorn Moon took matters into her hands, her Mars in Leo confidence took her power literally off the charts, winning her an Academy Award, an Emmy, and a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction.

Over time, Cher’s regal musical art has evolved into a blend of euphoric liberation and emotional resonance, underpinned by feminist power. The minute a Cher song comes on, you know it’s time to hit the dance floor! 

The Cher Song That Reflects Your Birth Month

Check the month you were born for pro insights.

January: “If I Could Turn Back Time”

“If I could turn back time/ If I could find a way/I’d take back those words that have hurt you and you’d stay/If I could reach the stars, I’d give ’em all to you…” 

In this song about time and regret, Capricorn’s weight for the past meets the Aquarian desire to reach for the stars and rewrite a love story. Whether you’re a Capricorn or an Aquarius, It’s the ideal song to play when feeling nostalgic about the love story that never quite left your heart.

February: “Believe”

“It’s so sad that you’re leaving/ It takes time to believe it/ But after all is said and done/You’re gonna be the lonely one, oh/ Do you believe in life after love?”

There is nothing more Aquarian than the first song made with Auto-Tune, the robotic effect on voice for fun sound creation. Add to this the Piscean desire to surrender to what’s next after a painful breakup. February-born get happy and inspired when they are reminded that the power of love is forever infinite.  

March: “After All” 

“Well, here we are again/I guess it must be fate/We’ve tried it on our own/But deep inside we’ve known/We’d be back to set things straight…” 

A soft-rock melody that explores destiny and returning to a true love after taking separate paths. March Pisceans will enjoy the romantic melody, while March Aries natives see themselves taking second chances in love. After all, March is a month to embrace new beginnings.

April: “Strong Enough”

“Cause I’m strong enough to live without you/Strong enough/And I quit crying long enough/Now I’m strong enough to know you gotta go” 

Nothing is stronger than the month bridging fiery Aries with practical Taurus. Direct and confrontational, Strong Enough is the song that April babies must have on repeat when dealing with the turn of a relationship page, whether it’s in love, friendship, or even career dealings. 

May: “The Shoop Shoop Song”

“(Is it in his eyes?) Oh, no, you’ll be deceived/(Is it in his sighs?) Oh, no, he’ll make believe…If you want to know if he loves you so/It’s in his kiss (That’s where it is).”

Sensual but curious and playful, Cher’s 1990’s vintage soul-pop song is about discovering the truth about a new love interest. It connects the senses (Taurus) with the discoverability that Gemini energy is infatuated with. This breezy, feel-good song may be the perfect background when getting ready for a date. 

June: “I Got You, Babe”

“They say we’re young and we don’t know/We won’t find out until we grow/Well I don’t know if all that’s true/’Cause you got me, and baby, I got you/Babe/I got you babe, I got you babe…”

Dating back to Cher’s Venus-in-Gemini duo times with Sonny, this song approaches the conversation of a young couple weathering the challenges of long-term partnership. In it, June-borns also find the nurturing and devoted love so characteristic of the zodiac sign Cancer. 

July: “Gypsies, Tramps & Thieves”

“Gypsies, tramps, and thieves/We’d hear it from the people of the town/They’d call us gypsies, tramps, and thieves/But every night all the men would come around/And lay their money down…” 

A song that focuses on the out-of-the-ordinary upbringing of a girl feels like honoring her roots and family is very nostalgic, like only Cancer can be. The tone, however, is very Leo-like, full of pride and unapologetically bold statements about her past. Whether you’re a Cancer or a Leo, these lyrics may pull you into the world of melodic storytelling. 

August: “Woman’s World”

“Torn up, busted, taken apart/I’ve been broken down/Left with a broken heart/But I’m stronger/Strong enough to rise above/This is a woman’s world/This is a woman’s world…” 

Cher’s fast, loud, and celebratory Mars in Leo shines brightly in this upbeat dance-pop and EDM song. But the message it carries, which is about healing women by lifting their spirits and supporting them in taking up space, aligns with Virgo’s feminine side. August babies, this is your pick-me-up song! 

September: “Love and Understanding” 

“We’ve got enough cars to drive around the world/Enough planes to take us anywhere/We got more than enough, but there’s one thing/There’s just not enough of/Not enough love and understanding…”

No other Cher song feels more service-oriented and socially conscious than this one. September Virgos will enjoy the goddess of pop’s desire for bringing change to the world. September Libras cherish its message of prioritizing emotional connection and empathy over material wealth. A heartwarming song for September-born to feel inspired. 

October: “Dark Lady” 

“Dark lady laughed and danced and lit the candles one by one/Danced to her gypsy music ’til her brew was done… She told me more about me than I knew myself…” 

Cher’s most tragic song is about a woman who seeks relationship advice from a witch only to find out she’s involved with her boyfriend. Featuring the occult, relationship drama, and betrayal, this song is both Libra and Scorpio coded—the perfect background playlist for the witchy nights those born in October love so much. 

November: “Half-Breed” 

“Half-breed, that’s all I ever heard/Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word/Half-breed, “She’s no good,” they warned/Both sides were against me since the day I was born…” 

Being a song about the difficulty of identity and social acceptance, this song presents the story of a mixed-race woman. It blends the Scorpionic journey of inner strength with the truth-telling nature of Sagittarius. Listening to it may take you to the hardest moments in your life, while reminding you of what you’ve overcome that has made you stronger. 

December: “Take Me Home” 

“Wrapped in your arms tonight/Just making love/Music and candlelight/Stars up above/Take me home (take me home), take me home (take me home)…” 

Even superstars have success dips from time to time—and this song marked Cher’s epic return to disco after a few commercial flops. Whether you’re a Sagittarius who likes to live—and love—fast, or a nostalgic Capricorn loving all things vintage, this song about a one-night stand will get you dancing all night long.

One of Hollywood’s jaw-dropping relationship breakups was between Christopher McDonald and Geena Davis, with the former opening up about the Tootsie actor breaking off their engagement to be with her co-star.

Speaking in a recent career retrospective at the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, the Happy Gilmore star looks back at having been engaged to Davis in the mid-1980s before she met Jeff Goldblum. The two actors began dating sometime between 1983 and 1984 before they became major Hollywood stars.

“Geena Davis and I were engaged to be married for about five weeks and she fell in love with Jeff Goldblum doing her first movie over there in Europe,” McDonald shared. “And I don’t blame him. She’s stunningly beautiful and everything like that, but you know, what happens on sets — things sometimes happen.”

McDonald admits that while he understood what happened, he was still “broken” over her having fallen for someone else. The project in question was the film Transylvania 6-5000, a horror comedy about two reporters who travel to modern-day Transylvania to uncover the truth behind Frankenstein sightings. Goldblum starred in the leading role as Jack Harrison, alongside Davis as Odette Balu. At the time, McDonald was working on his own project and had plans to meet up with the actor.

“I was doing Hamlet at the time, playing Laertes, and I had another three weeks to finish and then I was going to go over and join her,” McDonald added. “So I got the bad news from Ed Begley. He did me that solid. I mean I was really, really devastated.”

Davis and Goldblum would end up getting married in 1987 and even starred together in The Fly and Earth Girls Are Easy. The two later filed for divorce in 1990, and it was finalized in 1991. Davis once said that her relationship with the actor “was a magical chapter” in her life.

It just so happened that McDonald and Davis would reunite on screen in 1991 for the buddy comedy-drama Thelma & Louise. Directed by Ridley Scott, Davis played the leading role of Louise Sawyer, and McDonald ended up playing her on-screen husband, Darryl Dickinson.

“It’s literally five years later and [Davis] said to [Director Ridley Scott], ‘Who’d you get to play my husband?’ and he said, ‘Oh, you’ll love him, he’s tall, he’s funny, uh …. what’s his name? Chris McDonald,” and then she said, ‘I used to go with him,’ and he said, ‘Even better, perfect!’” recalled McDonald.

He called working with his ex-fiancée “cathartic,” with the actor marrying actor Lupe Gidley a year later in 1992. The couple has four children.

Fantasy novels are alluring to many readers as they pull individuals away from the mundanity of everyday life and into vast worlds where orcs, elves, and dragons roam. Fantasy fans also enjoy protagonists who, no matter their status in their society, manage to give the good fight and vanquish evil, usually with a lovable team of friends at their sides.

The publication Collider highlighted a few of the best fantasy books published relatively recently. The ranking, titled “The 10 Greatest Fantasy Books of the Last 20 Years,” included magical novels like 2011’s Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence, George R. R. Martin‘s A Dance with Dragons, also published in 2011, and The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch, released in 2006. According to Collider, the “greatest fantasy book of the last 20 years” is Brandon Sanderson‘s Oathbringer, published in 2017. The New York Times Best-Selling novel, which is over 1,000 pages long, marks Sanderson’s third The Stormlight Archive installment.

Oathbringer has a rating of 4.60 out of 5 from 389,485 readers on Goodreads.

Brandon Sanderson Explained the Premise of ‘Oathbringer’ in 2017

While speaking to G3EK at a premiere party for Oathbringer in 2017, Sanderson shared what readers needed to know before opening up the book. He explained that The Stormlight Archive series, which currently has five books, is “kind of a combination between multiple characters’ storylines,” specifically Kaladin Stormblessed, Shallan Davar, and Dalinar Kholin.

Sanderson stated that Dalinar, the main protagonist of Oathbringer, “is a former warlord who gained conscience through certain events and came to kind of realize maybe I shouldn’t just be destroying.” However, Dalinar isn’t sure how to change his behavior.

“The first book [The Way of Kings (2010)] he started seeing visions that a lot of people thought he was going crazy. He’s like, ‘Why would I see visions? I’m a terrible person.’ And it’s kind of this story will do flashbacks to catch him up to where that first book began. And then also bringing his story along a little bit further, so a lot of mysteries are going get dug into in this book,” teased Sanderson.

During the G3EK interview, Sanderson also explained that his fantasy books mirror modern-day issues.

“I write the fantasy books because they’re reflections of all the things I’m thinking about right now. And so the fantasy books, we taught a joke about this, and actually, about the past, they’re kind of about the present, but seeing through the lens of these weird things happening in the fantastical worlds,” said the author in the 2017 interview.

As the Lindsay Clancy trial continues, a major update occurred today, following the lunch break. Dr. Kirk Heilbrun, a psychologist, has been called as part of the prosecution’s rebuttal and took the stand today. Dr. Heilbrun had already answered a number of questions and provided his perspective on various aspects of the case, including his understanding of whether Clancy has been appropriately diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

However, as the witness was describing the extent to which he felt Clancy was aware of her actions or not when she allegedly strangled her three children in 2023, and/or aware of the wrongdoing of her actions at the time, he began to discuss his understanding of the Catholic teachings, as that is the religion with which Clancy was raised. Clancy’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, objected, at which point Judge William Sullivan called the attorneys into a sidebar discussion.

Ultimately, when the attorneys and Judge Sullivan returned from the sidebar, without the jury present, Reddington moved for a mistrial on the basis of alleged inappropriate lines of questioning from the prosecution, specifically as it relates to Clancy’s religion. The prosecution then had a chance to argue against a mistrial. After hearing both perspectives, Judge Sullivan decided against a mistrial.

However, Judge Sullivan did bring the jury back into the room, strike Dr. Heilbrun’s testimony regarding Clancy’s religion and the Catholic faith and told the jury that it was “absolutely an inappropriate area of testimony” and “cannot be considered.” He then dismissed the jury for the day. He also told the prosecution, “In perhaps the strongest language, talk to [Dr. Heilbrun], and let him know he can’t go into that.” Court will return tomorrow morning.

Even as airport lounges have moved past the days of lukewarm steam trays and stale coffee for sleek bars and high-end menus, many spaces still feel like glossy variations of the exact same luxury hotel lobby.

JetBlue’s brand-new BlueHouse Boston—which officially opened its doors at Boston Logan International Airport (BOS) Terminal C at 5 a.m. this morning—throws that playbook completely out the window.

Spanning 12,000 square feet in a prime, central location post-security, the airline’s second lounge location (following its award-winning debut at New York-JFK) is an unapologetic, high-style love letter to Boston and coastal Massachusetts. From Nantucket-blue wood finishes and copper accents to residential-style seating you’d actually want in your own living room, the space balances high-end boutique elegance with clever local nods.

“BlueHouse Boston is designed to feel like a warm, stylish New England home—welcoming, comfortable and full of details that spark inspiration and nostalgia,” said Stephanie Evans Greene, senior vice president, marketing and brand, JetBlue. “From the local partnerships and artwork to the playful surprises throughout the space, we wanted customers to feel connected to Boston just like JetBlue.”

What makes the lounge truly stand out from the minute you cross the residential-inspired threshold is how much genuine personality is baked into every corner.

The space showcases 60 unique pieces of artwork, including two original creations by JetBlue crewmembers. In the private, quiet spaces, travelers will find charming nods like a Paul Revere peephole, Duck Tour-inspired wallpaper in the restrooms, and an exclusive, hand-painted wall mural by Boston-born author and illustrator Richard Scarry, featuring recognizable characters from his Busy World alongside a custom JetBlue aircraft.

At the center of the lounge sits The Neighborhood Bar, framed by a warm Nantucket-blue slatted ceiling and a custom lighting fixture designed to sync in real time with Boston’s iconic Berkeley Building weather beacon (“Steady blue, clear view; flashing blue, clouds due; steady red, rain ahead; flashing red, snow instead”).

Elevating the Culinary Standard: Chunky Avocado, Fresh Smoothies, and Local Craft Brews

Plenty of airport lounges promise gourmet dining—even if the reality is often more “fancy cafeteria” than fine dining—but the menu here actually feels like a cozy, high-end neighborhood brunch spot.

Morning travelers are greeted with a breakfast spread that includes fresh pastries, made-to-order smoothies, hearty breakfast sandwiches, and avocado toast topped with actual, generous avocado chunks (a true rarity in the airport dining world).

For coffee lovers, the lounge partners with local Massachusetts specialty roaster George Howell Coffee for single-origin espresso and pour-overs.

Later in the day, the kitchen transitions into hot, plated regional specialties like North Shore roast beef sliders, fresh crab and shrimp rolls, and craft pints from Brookline’s The Publick House. The craft cocktail menu—curated by renowned Boston bar director Jackson Cannon of Equal Measure—features both refined classics and creative, ingredient-forward drinks inspired by JetBlue liveries.

Once your favorite streamers started dominating the Emmy races every year, it was only a matter of time before they started immersing themselves in unscripted.

There’s a whole world out there in the reality TV space, as viewers from all generations are aware. Fans these days like to follow along with their favorite small-screen celebrities, whether it’s the Real Housewives or even a renowned chef.

Enter Being Gordon Ramsay, which premiered on Netflix earlier this year and was just renewed for a second season, Deadline reports. Other unscripted renewals include season 9 of Formula 1: Drive to Survive and season 4 of Love Is Blind: UK.

Here’s Netflix’s official synopsis of the chef’s reality show: “Follow celeb chef Gordon Ramsay behind the scenes as he juggles family life, global empire and his biggest launch yet in this all-you-can-eat documentary.”

On the narrative TV front, it was also reported Monday, August 24 that Netflix’s The Gentlemen has already been renewed for a third season — and the second hasn’t even premiered yet. What did drop on Monday, however, was a trailer for season 2 of Guy Ritchie‘s hit series. Check out the YouTube clip below.

The Gentlemen has made headlines in other ways of late after Meghan Markle was recently in talks to join the show — but then reports surfaced more recently that she had been dropped amid U.K. backlash surrounding the casting decision.

“The backlash in the U.K. was so intense, it became untenable to go forward,” Tina Brown, former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, wrote on Substack Saturday, August 21. “This does not bode well for Meghan’s acting comeback in the U.K.”

One day earlier, The Hollywood Reporter claimed that the former Suits actress, 45, was in “advanced discussions” to join season 3 of the series, which films in the U.K.

It’s only natural that we want our children to feel great about themselves. They’re learning how to navigate the world, which isn’t exactly an easy task, so you want to bolster them and assure them that they’re doing a good job—right?

While this is certainly an admirable goal, you might be stepping into “overpraising,” which falls in line with toxic positivity in parenting. In fact, research shows that too much praise can actually lead to lower self-esteem in children.

An expert weighs in on overpraising kids: Dr. Brett Biller, PsyD, a child psychologist at Hackensack University Medical Center, says that praising is important for children to develop positive self-perceptions as well as develop feelings that form the foundation for motivation. 

But, “not all praise, even when frequent, will achieve the intent we desire unless the praise is specific.”  

For instance, using ambiguous praise, such as saying things like “Good job,” can imply that the child the praise is directed at understands the intent of the individual delivering the praise, as Dr. Biller says. 

“Specific praise, such as, ‘Good job sharing with your brother,” enhances positive feelings related to an identifiable action, thus increasing the likelihood of that desired behavior to be repeated,” he points out. 

While there are wise ways to go about it, there are some dangers of overpraising a child. Read on to learn more.

The Trap of ‘Person Praise’: Why ‘You’re So Smart’ Backfires

Dr. Biller defines “person praise” as “complimenting general qualities of a child and includes statements such as, ‘You are so smart’ or ‘You have a natural talent.’”  

“While praise of qualities or outcomes can be positive, when applying ‘person praise’ with children, we create a bind where the child is rewarded for a quality or feature of themself, rather than effort or intent,” he explains further. 

The psychologist goes on to say: “The trap of such praising style is evident when we recognize that praise is most effective when it enhances feelings about what they control, such as effort and/or intent, rather than simply making them feel good about a quality, as we have little ability to enhance a quality.”

The Solution: The Power of ‘Process Praise’

As an alternative, there’s something called “process praise” you can turn to. When it comes to this versus person praise, process praise “speaks to the efforts or actions of the child rather than simply focusing on the outcome or a trait,” as Dr. Biller puts it.

“Process praise enhances the likelihood of an action that resulted in a positive outcome,” he adds, and says that this approach is most helpful when utilized to praise progress toward an end goal. These are the scenarios when you, as a parent, start to learn how to praise effort, not outcome.

What To Say Instead of ‘Good Job’

“The praise, ‘Good job,’ is not problematic—unless stated without a specific qualifier,” Dr. Biller explains.

So how do you fix this, while still giving your child the support they need?

“Be intentional with your praise, rather than accidental,” he suggests. “Specific praise ensures that your child is certain of what you are praising. Additionally, praise an action so that it can be repeated.”     

Phrases to build intrinsic motivation

Intrinsic motivation in children means that they have their own desire and drive to do something that won’t necessarily result in a reward. And there are ways to foster this. 

First of all, Dr. Biller says that you should focus on specific praise that speaks to a child’s actions toward an outcome, which will have a positive effect.  

As he points out, some growth mindset praise examples include: “I am so impressed by the effort you put in studying for your test,” “Great job keeping the ball moving throughout the game,” or “You are such a role model to your brother when you share.”  

“Each of the examples demonstrates that praise must be focused on the process, rather than the outcome,” he notes.

When It’s Okay to Just Say ‘Good Job’

“‘Good job’ on its own can be intentional and reinforcing if the focus of the praise is certain,” Dr. Biller says. “Often, children are specific when speaking about the action we hope is replicated.”

He says that when you identify the action, “Good job” is appropriate, since adding specificity may be redundant.   

“For example,” he shares, “when a child exclaims, ‘My studying really paid off!,’ it would be appropriate to respond, ‘Good job,’ since the focus of the praise—studying—is clearly understood to be the effort rather than the outcome.”

Kit Harington is set to formally return to HBO, but under a different banner than his previous work on Game of Thrones.

According to Deadline, Harington is officially set to take over the role of Professor Gilderoy Lockhart in season two of Harry Potter, replacing the original actor, Nicholas Hoult. As per the publication, Hoult, who was previously announced as one of the main stars of HBO’s Harry Potter, had to leave the show due to scheduling conflicts.

As dedicated Harry Potter fans might recall, Professor Lockhart is the self-obsessed, woefully inept celebrity wizard who takes over the role of Hogwart’s Defense Against the Dark Arts instructor in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Portrayed in the 2002 film by Kenneth Branagh, Harington more recently provided the voice for the character in the Audible recording of J.K. Rowling’s novel back in 2025.

“I read it, and like so many generations, I was entranced, and then I was a huge fan all through my teenage years,” Harington said of the Harry Potter series at the time.

In addition to his role in the audiobook series, Harington of course remains well-known for his breakout role on HBO’s Game of Thrones, which saw him play the scene-stealing role of Jon Snow, an illegitimate noble who becomes one of the unlikely heroes of the series.

With its second season greenlit in May, HBO’s Harry Potter will continue filming this fall, while its first season, which adapts Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, will premiere on Christmas.

The series is set to star Dominic McLaughlin as the titular boy wizard; Alastair Stout as Harry’s best friend Ron Weasley; Arabella Stanton as the duo’s studious friend Hermione Granger; Nick Frost as lovable groundskeeper Rubeus Hagrid; John Lithgow as the eccentric Albus Dumbledore; and Paapa Essiedu as the enigmatic Severus Snape.

Kim Kardashian‘s boyfriend has Glenn Close‘s stamp of approval.

Taking to Instagram over the weekend, the Cruella de Vil icon shared a sweet selfie of her and Lewis Hamilton, which included Kardashian, who presumably took the photo.

“Sir Lewis came by our ‘ALL’S FAIR’ location. I LOVED meeting him,” she wrote. “What a sweet, classy gentleman he is. Thank you, Kim, [for] bringing him by.”

The reality star, 45, who went public with her relationship with the British Formula 1 driver, 41, earlier this year, commented on Close’s post with a heart emoji.

While the pair hasn’t spoken out much about their relationship, they’re not shy when it comes to sharing loved-up snaps of their time together. Most recently, Kardashian shared multiple photos of the two on vacation in Hawaii with her kids in tow.

Kardashian has also attended his Formula 1 races. At a race in June, Hamilton actually spoke about the mom-of-four publicly for the first time.

“It’s amazing to have her come this weekend and have her support,” Hamilton said. “It’s amazing to have good people around you and good people supporting you. She does that for me every day.”

He also spoke about her to the press in July.

Per People, after a reporter noted that he was “happier” having switched from driving for Mercedes to Ferrari, he managed to mention that along with his new team, Kardashian was also a contributor to his disposition.

“Once you spend a year with this team, Ferrari is still the most iconic team of all time, and they’ve had a difficult period of time,” he said. “It’s such an amazing team and they’ve been so welcoming. The first year was obviously very tough but to finally see the hard work we’re all putting in, it’s finally get us back to where we want to be.”

“And of course, of course, it’s Kim,” he added.

Kardashian was previously married to rapper Kanye West with whom she shares her four kids. Hamilton has never been married but previously dated Nicole Scherzinger and has also been romantically linked to Gigi Hadid and Sofia Richie in the past.

Season 2 of Ryan Murphy’s legal drama All’s Fair, which stars Close and Kardashian, along with Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Sarah Paulson, and Teyana Taylor, is scheduled to return to Hulu on November 4, 2026.

A woman is suing Wendy’s after allegedly consuming a double cheeseburger that left her in the hospital.

Roxie Ellis Douglas claims the fast-food chain infected her with a bacterial illness after eating their food. She filed the complaint on July 30. She alleges her meal was “not fit” for human consumption, according to the complaint obtained by People.

The case was filed in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, but Wendy’s requested that it be transferred to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on Aug. 20. The company also asked for a trial by jury.

Douglas claims she had a double cheeseburger meal, which included a double cheeseburger and a baked potato, delivered from a Chicago Wendy’s on Aug. 5, 2025. She stated that the food arrived in a “sealed, unopened bag” and that she ate it at home.

The plaintiff claimed she then “suffered serious illness and injury” as a “direct and proximate result” of consuming food from the chain. She alleges the meal caused her to suffer from “Campylobacter intestinal infection, acute infectious colitis, leukocytosis, dehydration, gastroenteritis, and hypokalemia secondary to diarrhea.”

Douglas added that serving Campylobacter- or other bacteria-infected food “is unreasonably dangerous for its ordinary and expected use of human consumption.”

“Such a food product is thus in an unreasonably dangerous condition not contemplated by an ordinary consumer, making it defective,” she alleged. She claimed the fast-food restaurant did not use ingredients that were safe and “free from adulteration of deathly pathogens.”

She further alleged that Wendy’s did not use “safe and proper” methods to prepare her meal and failed to give an “adequate warning” about the dangers of consuming the food. She claims the meal was “unreasonably dangerous and in a defective condition.”

Douglas allegedly has accrued over $93,000 in medical expenses, according to People. These included charges from the Chicago Fire Department/EMS and a Chicago hospital.

Douglas is suing Wendy’s for damages in excess of $50,000.

A representative for Wendy’s did not immediately respond to Parade‘s request for comment.

Actor Mike Farrell and his family are mourning the death of his wife of 42 years, actress and singer Shelley Fabares.

Fabares, beloved for her roles on The Donna Reed Show and Coach and for starring opposite Elvis Presley in three movies, died Saturday, Aug. 22, in Los Angeles following a brief illness, her family announced. She was 82.

Farrell, best known for playing Capt. B.J. Hunnicutt on M*A*S*H shared a photo of a candle on Instagram along with a statement from himself and Fabares’ family announcing her death.

“It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Shelley Fabares, who died Saturday, August 22 in Los Angeles surrounded by those who loved her,” the statement began.

Mike Farrell and Family Remember Shelley Fabares View this post on Instagram

Farrell and the family remembered Fabares not only for the career that made her a familiar face to generations of television viewers, but for the woman they knew away from the screen.

“To her family and friends, Shelley was a source of love, strength, laughter, and comfort,” they wrote, describing her as a devoted wife and cherished family member whose “warmth, generosity, humor and grace” affected those around her.

They also reflected on the remarkable career that made Fabares a baby-boomer icon.

She began playing Mary Stone, the teenage daughter of Donna and Alex Stone, on The Donna Reed Show in 1958. During her time on the hit ABC sitcom, a storyline about Mary’s singing career unexpectedly gave Fabares a real-life No. 1 record.

“Johnny Angel” topped the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1962, despite Fabares’ insistence that she wasn’t really a singer. The recording featured Darlene Love and the Blossoms on backing vocals and Glen Campbell on guitar.

The single spent two weeks at No. 1, remained on the chart for 15 weeks and eventually sold more than 1 million copies.

Fabares later made the leap to movies, starring alongside Presley in Girl Happy in 1965, Spinout in 1966 and Clambake in 1967. She once recalled being overwhelmed simply watching Presley walk onto the set of their first movie together.

“The presence that this man had … you couldn’t talk,” she remembered in an interview with Elvis Australia. “Nobody did anything. You just sort of stopped.”

Shelley Fabares Found Another Hit Role on ‘Coach’

Fabares continued working extensively in television, including appearances on One Day at a Time, Mork & Mindy, Mannix and Love, American Style. She also portrayed the wife of Chicago Bears player Brian Piccolo, played by James Caan, in the acclaimed 1971 television movie Brian’s Song.

Another defining role arrived decades after The Donna Reed Show when Fabares joined the cast of Coach. She played Christine Armstrong, the girlfriend and eventual wife of Craig T. Nelson’s Hayden Fox, for eight seasons and received two Emmy nominations for her performance.

Offscreen, Fabares and Farrell had first met in 1970 when she guest-starred on his series The Interns. They crossed paths again 12 years later during a CBS press tour and began dating, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The couple married in 1984 at the Pacific Palisades home of Fabares’ aunt, actress Nanette Fabray.

Farrell once credited his wife with bringing a lighter side out of him, while Fabares said the differences between their personalities complemented each other.

“Mike grounds me, and I think I pull him out sometimes,” she said. “It’s a nice mix.”

More than four decades after they married, Farrell and Fabares’ family closed their announcement by reflecting on what they had shared with her.

“We are heartbroken by her loss, yet profoundly grateful for the years we shared with her and for the joy, compassion, and love she brought to so many,” they wrote.

“We ask that our family’s privacy be respected as we grieve. We take comfort in knowing that Shelley’s work and the memories she created with those who loved her will continue to live on.”

Rumer Willis revealed she’s undergoing genetic testing to determine her risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.  

Rumer, 38, has forged a successful music and television career over the years. But her father Bruce’s Willis‘ battle with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), which he was diagnosed with in 2023 after initially being diagnosed with aphasia the year before, had made her think about her own future.

“It’s terrifying to get answers sometimes,” she told PEOPLE. “Obviously there are genetic things in my family. Not just dementia, I’ve had some family members who have had breast cancer and family members who have had different things.”

 Rumer partnered with Function, a health membership that offers more than 160 advanced lab tests, imaging, and specialized assessments, to determine her risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. 

“But I think when you have information, it’s power,” she says. “And that sounds so, like, Spider-Man, but when we’re able to see, OK, maybe I’m more predisposed to this, you can just start actively working to reduce inflammation in your body, work on heart health, whatever it is. That’s why it’s been so amazing to be able to track a lot of those things with Function.”

How Did They Celebrate Bruce’s Birthday?

Back in March, Bruce, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) in 2023 at the age of 67, turned 71. In addition to sharing a sweet, smiling photo of her husband, his wife Emma Heming Willis used the opportunity to share an important message about the creation of a new charity, The Emma & Bruce Willis Fund. According to the organization’s website, its mission will be “to confront frontotemporal dementia by raising awareness, funding promising research, and supporting caregivers.”

In the caption of the post, Heming Willis elaborated on why she decided to establish the organization.

“Today we celebrate Bruce’s birthday. 💙 This journey with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) has opened my eyes to the realities so many families face. It’s what inspired me to create The Emma & Bruce Willis Fund to raise awareness of FTD, support research, and stand beside the caregivers who carry so much every day,” she wrote.

Heming Willis continued by requesting that those who wish to honor Bruce and his journey could consider supporting the organization, another organization, or simply checking in on a caregiver, which is “a small act of kindness that can mean so much.”

How Many Children Does Bruce Willis Have?

Bruce Willis has two children, Evelyn and Mabel, with Heming Willis. In addition to Rumer, he also has two other daughters, Tallulah and Scout, with ex-wife Demi Moore. Last year, Heming Willis opened up about the blended family’s love for each other during an appearance on Oprah‘s podcast.

Sandra Bullock is finally opening up about her relationship with the late photographer Bryan Randall three years after his death. The Oscar winner explained that Randall asked her to keep his ALS diagnosis private, which ultimately caused her to isolate herself.

“I wasn’t allowed to speak about it. That was the request, and I tried and I honored it,” Bullock, 62, said during a Monday, August 24, appearance on the SmartLess podcast. “He asked me not to share. And I know why he asked me. It isolated me in the process, and plus the entire world was locked in with a pandemic.”

The Blindside actress explained that Randall was “ill” for half of their relationship, but his official diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis took time.

“You don’t go, ‘Oh you have these symptoms; you have ALS.’ It is literally the process of elimination over the course of a year and some, where you keep going back, and they give you all these milestones, these things to do,” she continued. “ALS appears in different ways. His was not hereditary, which is I think a huge sigh of relief. But it was about a year and some of watching it to see what it is. It could have been this, could have been this. But what I saw, I knew.”

Bullock told hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett and Sean Hayes that the experience led to her decision to walk away from her Hollywood career.

“I just pulled the plug,” Bullock said. “I said I can’t anymore. I have nothing to give right now. Nothing. Zero.”

The Gravity actress announced her plans in 2022 while doing press for her film The Lost City.

“I can be creative, I can be part of a community, but right now, work in front of the camera needs to take a pause,” she told CBS News at the time. “I want to be at home. I’m not doing anyone any favors who’s investing in a project if I’m saying, ‘I just want to be at home.’ ‘Cause I was always running, I was always running to the next thing. I just want to be present, and responsible for one thing.”

Randall tragically lost his battle with ALS in August 2023 at the age of 57.

Music icon Neil Young has surprised fans by unearthing a new version of a song that he had first recorded over six decades ago.

Last month, the beloved Canadian-American singer-songwriter and musician announced that he, along with his new band the Chrome Hearts, would be revisiting Young’s old discography with the new album Second Song, which would feature fresh takes on two songs that he originally wrote as a teenager: “I’ll Love You Forever” and “Casting Me Away From You”. Sixty years later, he shared the new version of the latter.

“‘Casting Me Away From You’ is one of my early songs. I think I wrote it in [1964 or 1965.] When we recorded Second Song; early this year I ran out of tunes fast. I only had the 5 new ones, long ones, and I needed more, so I started to feel it out and came up with ‘Casting Me Away’ – from the deep past,” he said in a post shared on the Neil Young Archives website. “There is an old recording with my school-mate Comrie Smith, somewhere in the ARCHIVES from that time. I recorded it for the Second Song album with the Chrome Hearts the next day.”

The statement continues, “In the early 70s, some time soon after I moved to Broken Arrow Ranch, David Meyers, the great cinematographer, jumped on the back of my old jeepster and we took a ride across Broken Arrow. 20 years or so before Rick Rosas shot the trip that is now ‘Second Song’.”

The recording is soundtracked to a throwback clip of Young. In the video, the singer’s former partner Carrie Snodgress, with whom he shares his eldest son Zeke, is riding her horse along with Timer, the then-couple’s dog, who’s riding with Young as they “cross the beautiful ranch on a new road.”

“Those two old songs, they just seemed to fit with the new ones,” he said of Second Song, which is set for release on Sept. 18, 2026, per Rolling Stone. “There was no concept. [The album] is a couple of old songs, and lot of new ones. With the length of the new songs, we could have knocked out the old songs and still had an album, for length. But we went ahead and added the two old songs. That’s what this album is about. It’s about the new songs vs the old songs. The old songs offer some sort of reflection and juxtaposition or something. They all seem to fit together.”
