There’s nothing more fun than taking an online personality quiz, am I right? (OK, maybe eating ice cream or going to a waterpark is more exciting, but you get the point.) Learning about ourselves and our traits can be interesting, even if it’s pseudoscience or something silly, like “What pizza topping would you be?"  

If you’ve gone down a rabbit hole of BuzzFeed quizzes or other personality quizzes before, you might have come across the viral “Winnie the Pooh test.” It tells you what your psychiatric diagnosis is, such as ADHD or depression. Basically, your answers to the quiz are matched up with a Winnie the Pooh character (thank you, author A.A. Milne, for the Pooh world). Each character embodies traits of a different mental health condition—at least according to a group of professors who studied the characters and published their findings (more about that in a bit).

But as fun as it is to read your personality test results, is the Pooh pathology testreally trustworthy? And to the extent of self-diagnosis instead of seeing a mental health professional for an “official” diagnosis? To answer those questions and spell out which condition each character represents, Parade spoke to a psychologist. Read her interesting (and perhaps unexpected) takes below.

What Is the ‘Pooh Pathology Test’?

CatLane/Getty Images

First, let’s get the psychologist’s background on this test.

“The Pooh Pathology Test is a genuinely clever piece of psychoeducation wrapped in a pop culture package—and there’s real clinical literature behind it,” says Dr. Kelly Gonderman, PsyD, a clinical director and licensed clinical psychologist at We Conquer Together who specializes in complex trauma, PTSD and survivors of domestic violence and stalking.

She points to a 2000 study in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, in which the authors gave each Winnie the Pooh character a mental health diagnosis (don’t worry, we’ll dive into each one soon).

How to take the Pooh Pathology Test

The test asks you to share how much you agree or disagree with different statements, such as “When I start feeling down, it’s as if I keep sinking until I've hit rock bottom.” At the end of the 33-question test, you get your result. You can take the test on IDRlabs.com.

What Mental Health Condition or Disorder Each Character Represents in the ‘Pooh Pathology Test’

As mentioned, each character represents a different mental health condition. As you think about their presentations and read the descriptions below, some might feel more or less relatable to you. 

“The characters resonate because they were drawn from real human psychology,” Dr. Gonderman explains. “A.A. Milne was observing actual personality patterns and exaggerating them for effect, which is exactly what good fiction does.” 

She describes each character and their corresponding condition below.

Pooh

Pooh is characterized as having an eating disorder, plus ADHD features with the inattentive subtype.

“Pooh shows compulsive eating and impulsivity consistent with binge eating disorder and ADHD,” Dr. Gonderman says. The food he compulsively eats is, of course, honey.

Piglet

With Piglet, we’re looking at anxiety. “Piglet’s persistent worry, physical anxiety symptoms and anticipatory dread map onto generalized anxiety disorder,” Dr. Gonderman says.

We often see Piglet blushing and flustered, which can suggest anxiety.

Eeyore

Eeyore illustrates persistent depressive disorder. “Eeyore’s chronic low energy, anhedonia and stable pessimism reflect persistent depressive disorder—low-grade and ongoing rather than episodic,” Dr. Gonderman explains.

If you’ve ever described someone as an “Eeyore,” you know what we’re talking about here. They probably strike you as sad, negative and always tired.

Tigger

Tigger represents attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. But whereas Pooh is the inattentive type, his bouncing friend is obviously the more active type.

“Tigger [has an] ADHD hyperactive-impulsive presentation: high energy, poor impulse control, difficulty anticipating consequences,” Dr. Gonderman explains.

This looks like impulsively consuming unknown substances he comes across, often climbing trees and intruding socially, even leading Roo into danger.

Rabbit

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Rabbit symbolizes obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). “Rabbit’s rigidity and compulsive organizing is OCD functioning as anxiety management,” Dr. Gonderman explains.

He always wants to be in control, and he organizes others.

Owl

Owl has narcissistic personality traits. It sounds pretty serious to say, but it’s true.

“Owl’s grandiosity and lack of genuine curiosity about others reflect narcissistic personality traits,” Dr. Gonderman says. Additionally, the study noted his dyslexia as he tries to cover up his phonological deficits.

Kanga and Roo

The dynamics between this mother-son duo illustrate a codependent enmeshment pattern. This is “a relational dynamic where boundaries blur in ways that limit the child’s developing autonomy,” Dr. Gonderman explains. Kanga is also an overprotective mother.

When you do take the test, though, only Roo is an option, and he represents autism.

Christopher Robin

The authors of the study we mentioned before don’t fully diagnose Christopher Robin with schizophrenia, and whether or not he “has” schizophrenia is debated. However, the point of concern is his talking to non-existent animals. The assumption is that Hundred Acre Wood, where the characters live, is Christopher’s internal world, and the characters are different aspects of himself.

“The schizophrenia framing is more speculative, but what’s clinically notable is that Christopher Robin is the only character who moves between the ‘real’ world and the Wood,” Dr. Gonderman shares. “Whether you read that as imagination, dissociation or psychosis,  it’s a meaningful distinction that sets him apart from every other character in a story.”

Can the Viral ‘Winnie the Pooh’ Test Actually Match Your Psychiatric Diagnosis? A Psychologist Explains

Could a person’s Pooh Pathology Test results match their diagnosis in real life? Dr. Gonderman thinks yes, but in limited ways.

“If you strongly identify with one character’s core pattern, it may reflect a genuine trait cluster,” she says. “But a character quiz is not a diagnostic tool.”

A clinical diagnosis requires a clinical interview, developmental history and assessment of impairment across multiple domains, she continues. So, the viral Winnie the Pooh test is more a source of information (and a fun way to kill time) than anything super legitimate. 

The more useful question from this test, Dr. Gonderman says, isn’t “Which character am I?” but “Do these patterns cause me distress or limit my functioning?” She encourages individuals to sit with that question. If their answer is yes, the concerns are worth bringing to a licensed clinician—not a personality quiz.

Amazon MGM has released the trailer for Verity, the film adaptation of ColleenHoover’s bestselling novel. The psychological thriller will star AnneHathaway, DakotaJohnson, and JoshHartnett.

The 2018 book is the latest Hoover publication to grace the big screen in two years. Her previous novels adapted into movies, It Ends With Us, Reminders of Him, and RegrettingYou, all saw success at the box office.

The upcoming film focuses on Johnson’s character, LowenAshleigh. The protagonist is hired to finish the book of the injured best-selling author VerityCrawford (Anne Hathaway). Lowen finds a shocking manuscript that makes her question whether Verity is trustworthy.

“Even with my continuous warning, you’re going to continue to ingest my words. But know one thing: There is no light where we’re going,” Hathaway says in the official teaser.

In the trailer, Lowen creeps through her boss's home in a silk robe while Verity is shown fast asleep in another room. The young writer played by Johnson finds Jeremy, Verity’s husband, whom she embraces with a kiss. As Lowen pulls away, she is terrified to see Verity instead of Jeremy.

The trailer released on YouTube echoes Hathway’s line with the caption “There is no light where we’re going.”

Hoover will work as a producer for the film.

“I've had such a great experience being involved with 'Reminders of Him,' and I was able to be involved in 'Verity' and be on set for a lot of that," Hoover told USA TODAY. "I really enjoy being more active."

The bestselling author is pleased with the house in the film, which was revealed in the newly released trailer.

"I feel like I didn't even come close to doing justice to the house like they did in the movie," she said. "Even the roof line is a bunch of V's, and on the inside, you walk in, and somehow it looks like canoes. It was almost like the house was built for the movie, so it becomes its own character."

Verity will be released in theaters on October 2, 2026. Watch the official trailer below.

What makes a song a classic road trip anthem? Well, it should have feel-good vibes, a steady groove, and, ideally, lyrics about driving. One '70s hit that definitely checks all of those boxes is the Climax Blues Band's "Couldn't Get It Right," which was the group's biggest hit...even though it was a last-minute addition to their highest-charting record.

In fact, the band thought they were all done recording their eighth studio album, Gold Plated (1976) when their manager, Miles Copeland, demanded they add one more "radio-friendly" track, according to The Independent. Copeland apparently suggested an Elvis Presley cover, but the band members decided to write a song about life on the road instead:

"Time was drifting, this rock had got to roll / So I hit the road and made my getaway / Restless feeling, really got a hold / I started searching for a better way / And I kept on looking for a sign in the middle of the night / But I couldn't see the light, no, I couldn't see the light / I kept on looking for a way to take me through the night / Couldn't get it right, I couldn't get it right"

As guitarist/vocalist Peter Haycock explained years later, the song's "original composition" was his own.

“The band then worked on the arrangement for an afternoon at [drummer] John Cuffley’s place in Milwich, Staffs," Haycock recalled, per Classic Rock. "Later, Colin honed and added to my lyrics to suit his own deep vocal style during the recording period, including evenings in the hotel in London after the sessions, when we would sit together and work on the lyrics."

"A good example would be the transition from my original ‘We all went looking for a sign in the middle of the night’ to ‘I kept on looking,'" he continued. "My original chorus lyric idea was simply about driving around some city in the USA trying to find the Holiday Inn, which, despite its brightly illuminated sign, became increasingly hard to reach due to one-way systems, et cetera."

'Couldn't Get It Right' was Climax Blues Band's biggest hit ever

The British band's travel troubles ended up putting the gold in Gold Plated, so to speak. "Couldn't Get It Right" was a huge hit in the U.K., where it went to #10, but it was even more successful in the U.S., where it shot to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1977.

"With 'Couldn’t Get It Right,' the Climax Blues Band transcended the clichés of the road-song genre and incorporated several of their trademarks, including the vocal harmonies of Haycock and Holt behind Cooper’s lead, and Haycock’s guitar being played in unison with Cooper’s saxophone, to create a concise gem of a single equal to the best work of the Doobie Brothers or Ace," wrote Pierre Perrone of The Independent in a 2013 obituary for Haycock.

One thing's for sure: "Couldn't Get It Right" certainly deserves a place on your summer road trip playlist.

Charlie’s Angels star Kate Jackson made a bold move at the height of her career. The TV star was already an icon, and then… poof, disappeared from the media spotlight. And if you’re wondering where she went, Jackson recently answered your question.

People first reported that the actress opened up during the Charlie’s Angels 50th Anniversary Celebration panel at PaleyFest LA 2026 about her decision to leave Hollywood. Jackson shared the challenges she faced as a working mom, saying, “I realized that I really couldn’t be a good director and a good mom at the same time. And I thought, ‘If I’m not a good mom, it really doesn’t matter what else I do well.’ “ As most parents know, it isn't easy to balance a career and family.

So, where did the TV star go? While she is best known for her role as Sabrina Duncan on the 1970s hit Charlie’s Angels, this certainly wasn’t Jackson’s lone television credit. The 77-year-old has an expansive resume, including Dark Shadows, The Rookies, Scarecrow and Mrs. King, and Baby Boom. Along with acting, Jackson also directed two episodes of Scarecrow and Mrs. King before leaving Los Angeles to spend more time with her son. 

Even though she called Hollywood home for years, Jackson eventually moved to a farm outside of Charlottesville, Virginia, in the 1990s. 

Who is Kate Jackson’s Child?

The Charlie’s Angel star has one child. She adopted her son, Charles Taylor Jackson, in 1995. Jackson opened up to Varietyin 1996, revealing a celebrity source of help during the process. “My whole life has changed—thanks to Rosie O’Donnell.” Jackson continued, crediting the comedian, “Rosie put me in touch with the right people.” 

She also shared how motherhood changed her, saying, “I’ve become a different person: I never knew I could be so patient. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.” And as it turns out, Rosie wasn’t the only famous person connected to Jackson’s kiddo. The actress’s former Charlie’s Angels co-star, Jaclyn Smith, is her son’s godmother. Jackson is also godmother to Smith’s daughter. 

Fans of O’Donnell probably aren’t surprised that the comedian had a hand in Jackson’s adoption process. O’Donnell famously adopted all five of her children. The actress//talk show host adopted her eldest son, Parker O’Donnell, the same year (1995) that Jackson adopted Charles. Rosie went on to adopt daughter Chelsea Belle O’Donnell in 1997, son Blake Christopher O’Donnell in 1999, Vivienne O’Donnell in 2002 (Vivi is the biological child of O’Donnell’s first wife, Kelli Carpenter), and Clay O’Donnell in 2013. 

Onyx Storm, the latest book in Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean romantasy series, became the fastest-selling adult novel in 20 years, The New York Times reports. That success might come, in part, from how authors like Yarros work.

Award-winning authors love music. Whether using sonic therapy to enhance their focus, set an emotional tone for a scene, or block out distractions, writers have long turned to music to tap into a flow state that helps them hammer out best sellers.

You’ve likely heard of John Lennon inspiring Stephen King’s The Shining and Radiohead fueling Chuck Palahniuk’s Fight Club, but there’s another writer on the block who uses music as a muse to pull out her best ideas.

Yarros tells TODAY that she uses music to guide her through her world building, then she releases the playlist she made with the corresponding novel for fans to devour.

With Onyx Storm(The Empyrean #3), Yarros’ music selection is brimming with pop and rock hits, including Taylor Swift’s “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?,” The Goo Goo Dolls’ “Acoustic #3,” and The Offspring’s “The Kids Aren’t Alright.” You can see the whole playlist here.

About a heroine named Violet navigating a world of war and dragons while battling chronic illness, the Empyrean series is a hit with readers on Goodreads. Consistently touted as a must-read, it’s currently in the Top 10 Most Read Books This Year, with Freida McFadden’s The Housemaid, Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Atmosphere, and Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary also getting top spots. 

So far, Yarros has published three novels in her series of five. Fourth Wing (2023), Iron Flame (2023), and Onyx Storm (2025). There is news of a fourth Empyrean novel, but not Book 4, arriving this fall.

The fourth book in the series is expected sometime in 2027. When TODAY asks for a sneak peek into the playlist she created for that one, she doesn't give an inch, saying simply, "I think it would scare everyone."

In not so scary news: There is also a small-screen adaptation on the way. With Amazon MGM Studios and Oscar winner Michael B. Jordan’s Outlier Society involved, we’re betting on another winner for Yarros.

Channing Tatum is causing a stir online after he posted a cryptic message to Instagram following news his ex-fiancée Zoë Kravitz is engaged to Harry Styles.

On Monday, Apr. 27, People confirmed the actress and pop star are engaged following days of speculation. The couple were first romantically linked in August 2025.

Shortly after the engagement was confirmed, Tatum shared a poem by John Roedel to his Instagram Story which reads in part, "my brain and heart divorced/a decade ago/over who was to blame about how big of a mess I have become/eventually, they couldn't be in the same room with each other."

"Read..." Tatum captioned the post.

After a screenshot of Tatum's story was shared to social media, fans began speculating that it was a reaction to Kravitz and Styles' upcoming nuptials.

"CHANNING TATUM CANT BE SERIOUS LMAOO," wrote one user on X. "liked cause i feel the same way channing tatum." joked another.

"maybe channing tatum and [Styles' ex] olivia wilde should call each other up to mourn together," added a third. "channing tatum crying about zoë kravitz and harry styles' engagement when he has a 26 year old girlfriend, men are pathetic af." said a fourth.

Tatum and Kravitz began dating in 2021, before announcing their engagement in 2023. In October 2024, it was reported that they had split up.

Prior to their relationship, Kravitz was married to actor Karl Glusman from 2019 to 2021 while Tatum was married to Jenna Dewan from 2009 to 2019, whom he shares daughter Everly.

Tatum has been dating 26-year-old Australian model and entrepreneur Inka Williams since early 2025.

It could be said that disco is perhaps the most cheerful, upbeat genre of pop music in history. (Can you even think of a sad disco song?) Considering disco's roots are in underground dance clubs, it makes sense that pretty much every hit tune is designed to make listeners get up and boogie. But what was the first disco song to top the charts?

That depends on who you ask, but many music fans and historians believe it was "Rock the Boat" by The Hues Corporation. Released in early 1974 as the third single from the group's debut album, Freedom for the Stallion, the song wasn't a huge success...at first.

As Stereogum reported, "Rock the Boat" was popular in the NYC club scene months before the rest of the country caught on, finally sending it to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on July 6, 1974, where it stayed for one week.

Even though it helped to usher in the whole disco movement, some think "Rock the Boat" sounds more like pop than disco. In an interview with Classic Bands, singer St. Clair Lee addressed the issue of the track's true identity.

"It was a song that you could do anything on," he said. "You could cuddle or you could get crazy if you wanted to. It was a love song without being a love song. But, it was a disco hit and it happened because of the discos."

"When we first came out, we had a song called 'Freedom for the Stallion,'" Lee continued. "If you could get a copy of that and listen to that song, you would see that the group had a classic going there. Nobody knew The Hues Corporation. 'Freedom for the Stallion' was the most beautiful song. The Black stations wouldn't play it because they said we were too white. I'm serious when I say this. The white stations wouldn't play it because they said they didn't understand what we were talking about. They said no, we're gonna go out with 'Miracle Maker.' Then all of a sudden, 'Rock the Boat' took off."

'Rock the Boat' was The Hues Corporation's only #1 hit

 Unfortunately, "Rock the Boat" was The Hues Corporation's last #1 hit, though a second song, "Rockin' Soul," broke the top 20 in 1974, landing at #18.

"The record company said 'you got to come up with something similar,'" Lee recalled.

"We didn't want to come up with something similar to 'Rock the Boat.' They didn't understand where we were coming from," he said. "They didn't understand what we were about. Then, we got into a fight with the record company, which was a shame and I don't put them down. Then we had another song after that called 'I Caught Your Act.' It goes on the chart. It goes in Billboard and all of a sudden...and this was on another record company, they killed it because they wanted to push somebody else. Why would they do that? Figure it out. It's politics. Politics is like music. I tell young kids coming up today, 'hey, you want to get into this business, you better be ready to starve.'"

All these years later, at least "Rock the Boat" is still getting plenty of airplay.

On this day in 1994, Melrose Place delivered one of TV’s most unforgettable twist endings, shocking more than 17.5 million viewers with a wig reveal that helped turn the series into true watercooler television.

During its second season, the Beverly Hills, 90210spinoff was still finding its identity, even after the arrival of special guest star Heather Locklear helped save the series. But it was Kimberly Shaw’s (Marcia Cross) storyline that truly got viewers talking.

According to Cross, Kimberly was originally meant to appear in just one episode. “The part was for a doctor, which sounded cool,” she told The Hollywood Reporter.

Kimberly was introduced as a doctor, opposite Thomas Calabro’s Michael Mancini. The two quickly connected, with sparks flying, and the married apartment manager soon began an affair with her.

Michael and Kimberly became a popular pairing, but Micheal’s wandering eye soon caused new troubled when he heated with his ex-wife Jane’s sister, Sydney.

After Michael tried to win Kimberly back, a drunk-driving crash appeared to kill her, temporarily ending the romance.

Cross later recalled, “They just kept asking me to come back even though they’d had Kimberly dying. I was told, ‘We have an idea of how you can come back.’”

Season 2 eventually revealed Kimberly had survived the crash, and that her mother told Michael she had died in an effort to keep them apart.

Prior to Kimberly’s return into his life, Michael had reunited with Sydney again, but immediately dumped her upon Kimberly’s reentrance to his life.  

But something was clearly wrong. Kimberly began suffering severe headaches and unexplained pain.

Then in the closing moments of the episode, came the moments fans still remember. Kimberly rose from the bed, walked into the bathroom, removed her wig, and exposed a massive scar on the side of her head.

Cross recalled flying up from San Diego, where she was performing in a play, to the set in Oxnard, “going from Shakespeare to pulling off a wig to show a scar.” She shared, “After that twist, and seeing how people went a kooky for it, I realized, ‘Oh god, this is real!’” she said.

Kimberly’s storyline only got wilder from there, including running Michael over, framing Jane and Sydney, and detonating bombs around the apartment complex in the Season 3 finale.

Paramount Plus has released a compilation of some of Kimberly's best moments, including the jaw dropping scar scene, which can be viewed below.

After 114 episodes, Kimberly ultimately died during the show’s fifth season following an aneurysm. However, her impact on television history continues to be talked about today, 32 years later.

Eggs are one of the most reliable staples in any kitchen. They're quick, affordable and endlessly versatile, taking center stage in dishes everywhere from simple breakfasts to sophisticated entrées and even crowd-pleasing appetizers. With just a small shift in timing, temperature, or technique, they can turn out completely different every time—something that makes them both approachable and surprisingly easy to get wrong.

They're also one of the easiest ingredients to overcomplicate. With so many techniques, tools, and opinions out there (just Google the best way to cook an egg and settle in), it's easy to assume there's a "right" way to cook them, and just as easy to second-guess what you assumed to be a simple process.

So, is there actually a best way to make eggs? That's where the chefs come in.

😋😋SIGN UP to get delicious recipes, handy kitchen hacks & more in our daily Pop Kitchen newsletter🍳🍔

To get a clearer answer, I asked three highly respected professional chefs to share their favorite way to cook eggs at home. Their responses all had the same underlying message: keep it simple.

That seems like an easy enough concept, and according to the professionals, one that can completely change how your next egg dish will turn out.

Our Panel of Chefs

• Javauneeka Jacobs is the co-head chef at Chicago's Frontera Grill, the Michelin Bib Gourmand flagship of Rick Bayless' award-winning restaurant group. A graduate of Le Cordon Bleu, she trained across multiple Bayless concepts and rose through the ranks to leadership. She gained national recognition after winning a Julia Child–themed episode of Chopped, beating 16 competitors. Chef Jacobs has built a reputation for precision, execution, and a strong connection to seasonal, ingredient-driven cooking.
• Adam Howard is the executive chef at the University Club of New York and a Michelin-recognized chef with a background that spans some of the country's most respected kitchens. A graduate of The Culinary Institute of America, he has worked with notable chefs including Waldy Malouf and David Burke, and has held leadership roles at restaurants such as Volt with Bryan Voltaggio and the Michelin-starred Blue Duck Tavern, where he helped earn and maintain a Michelin star. His career also includes serving as culinary director for high-profile catering operations and cooking for presidents and various heads of state.
• Daniel Lugovtsov worked his way up in professional kitchens, starting as a dishwasher before rising through the ranks to chef roles in New York. His experience includes time at Michelin-starred Per Se under Thomas Keller, Pastis in Miami, and other high-end kitchens. Chef Lugovstov is currently opening a new restaurant, Slim's Steakhouse, in Miami with James Beard award-winning restaurateur Stephen Starr.

What To Look for When Buying Eggs

Before the technique even comes into play, all three chefs emphasized starting with quality ingredients. Fresh eggs tend to have firmer whites and more structured yolks, which makes a noticeable difference in how they cook. That structure is especially important for methods like poaching, but it also improves the texture of scrambled eggs and omelets.

Sourcing matters, too. Eggs from well-raised hens often have richer yolks and more flavor, which means you don't have to rely on extra ingredients to make them taste good.

In other words, better eggs make better eggs—no matter how you cook them.

The Best Way To Make Eggs, According to 3 Chefs

When I talked to each chef, their answers all came back to the same idea. More important than the specific preparation is how you treat the egg. It's about restraint—keeping things simple, handling it gently, and letting the egg speak for itself.

According to chef Javauneeka Jacobs, "poached eggs are always my go-to." She explains that a minimalist cooking approach allows the richness of the egg to take center stage, rather than seasonings or sauces. For her eggs, chef Jacobs brings water to a gentle simmer, adds a small amount of vinegar, and stirs to create a whirlpool before dropping the egg into the center. "Then you don't do anything. You just let the egg cook." It simmers undisturbed until the whites are set while the yolk stays soft.

Chef Adam Howard echoes the minimalist approach, especially when the eggs are very fresh, stating, "When the ingredient is good, simple is the way to go. As in most things food-related, you're only as good as your ingredients." His preferred method is a soft scramble, cooked slowly in butter over a low flame and finished with a dab of crème fraîche and flaky sea salt to enhance the eggs' natural richness. "It's the kind of breakfast that doesn't try too hard—but delivers every time."

Chef Daniel Lugovtsov pointed to the delicate French omelet as his favorite, describing it as a dish that took weeks of repetition to master. "I took much pride in learning how to perfect the technique and achieve that texture and flavor." Known for its creamy, custard-like consistency, the French omelet showcases the egg's rich flavor through preparation and simplicity of ingredients: eggs, butter and salt.

The common thread isn't a specific method—it's control, restraint, and letting the egg speak for itself. Across all three chefs, there was a clear emphasis on dialing things back. Lower heat, fewer ingredients, and a willingness to let the eggs do the work.

It's not about doing more—it's about doing just enough.

Chef-Approved Tips for Making Eggs 10x Better

If you want to make better eggs, these chef-backed tips can make a noticeable difference in the outcome of your dish:

1. Turn the heat down

Eggs cook quickly, and high heat can easily lead to overcooking. High temperatures draw moisture from the eggs, resulting in a firmer, more rubbery texture. Lower heat settings allow the eggs to set slowly, retaining moisture and allowing for more control over "doneness."

2. Don't rush the process

Whether you're poaching, scrambling or making an omelet, patience pays off. Slow cooking prevents proteins from firming up too quickly, resulting in a more tender, custard-like texture.

3. Don't fight them

Allow the eggs to cook without overworking them. Too much stirring and mixing can break down their texture and structure.

4. Pull them slightly early

Eggs continue to cook off the heat, so stopping just before they're done helps avoid overcooking.

5. Keep it simple

As all three chefs showed, great eggs don't need much—just attention, restraint and a thoughtful approach to preparation. That simplicity is what elevates a simple egg dish. Remember: It's not about mastering eggs. It's about not overworking them.

In 1985, one of cinema's most legendary directors released a sweeping epic that would resonate around the world.

Ran, directed by Akira Kurosawa, has since been ranked among the best movies of all time by Rotten Tomatoes, cementing its place as a landmark in global film history.

Inspired by William Shakespeare's King Lear, Ran tells the story of an aging warlord who divides his kingdom among his sons only to watch as betrayal, ambition and violence tear his empire apart. The film unfolds as a tragic exploration of power, family and the devastating consequences of human pride.

"I had the idea of writing something about the sixteenth-century Japanese warlord Mori Motonari, who had three sons," said Kurosawa in a 1986 interview. "And, having written an outline of the script, it suddenly occurred to me that it was very similar to King Lear, so I went back and read that again, and developed it from that point. Motonari had three very good and loyal sons, so I started thinking about what would have happened if they hadn’t been loyal, and developed a fiction around the actual character."

Known for its breathtaking visuals, Ran stands out for its incredible battle sequences and vivid use of color, with Kurosawa crafting scenes that feel both operatic and deeply personal. The film's scope and artistry marked a triumphant late-career achievement for the director, who had already influenced generations of filmmakers.

Despite being produced late in Kurosawa's career, Ran became a major international success, earning widespread critical acclaim and multiple Academy Award nominations. It ultimately won the Oscar for Best Costume Design, further highlighting its visual brilliance.

The film's global reception helped solidify Kurosawa's reputation as one of the greatest directors and auteurs of all time, bringing his work to new audiences beyond Japan.

Decades later, Ran continues to be studied and celebrated for its storytelling, visual innovation and emotional depth.

"'How did Lear acquire the power that, as an old man, he abuses with such disastrous effects? Without knowing his past, I've never really understood the ferocity of his daughters' response to Lear's feeble attempts to shed his royal power," Kurosawa told The New York Times in 1985. "In Ran I've tried to give Lear a history. I try to make clear that his power must rest upon a lifetime of bloodthirsty savagery. Forced to confront the consequences of his misdeeds, he is driven mad. But only by confronting his evil head on can he transcend it and begin to struggle again toward virtue.''

With its inclusion among the best movies of all time, the film stands as a timeless classic that proves Kurosawa's vision only grew more powerful with time.

Fifty-two years ago, the iconic '70s singer Elton John topped the Billboard Hot 100 with his timeless cover of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds."

Released on November 15, 1974, as a standalone single and later featured on Elton John's Greatest Hits Volume II in 1977, John's version of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" was a huge success. Upon its release, the cover climbed up the Billboard Hot 100 chart, peaking at No. 1 for two consecutive weeks.

The track was not just a U.S. triumph, it also dominated global charts, reaching No. 10 on the U.K. Singles Chart, No. 1 in Canada and No. 3 in Australia. On January 29, 1975, the song was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling 1 million copies in the U.S. alone.

Produced by Gus Dudgeon via MCA Records, "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" is recognizable for its high-energy glam-pop sound that contrasted sharply with the Beatles' original psychedelic version. John puts his own spin on the track, completely reinterpreting it to align with his personal theatrical style.

Originally written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney, John brought the lyrics to life, using his powerful voice to amplify the song's vivid imagery and allusions to the story of Alice in Wonderland. John paid homage to the original rendition by featuring Lennon as a guitarist and backup vocalist, who was credited under the pseudonym "Dr. Winston O'Boogie."

It takes a true star for music persevere for decades, and John achieved exactly that. Even though the song was released over five decades ago, new listeners continue to connect with it. The track has remained relevant through the streaming era, with its Spotify streams totaling over 27 million, attesting to its lasting legacy as a glam-rock staple.

While Jack Mason and Shyanne Blankenship left Temptation Island season 2 very clearly not together, Mason's villa fling Erin Carter (who goes by her last name on the show) says they've been secretly back together since very shortly after filming ended.

In an interview with Reality Steve, Carter said that her summer romance continued with Mason after filming, with the pair spending a day together in Hawaii right after the final bonfire where both Mason and Blankenship agreed to walk away from their "toxic" relationship.

Even after getting back to San Diego, where she lives, Carter continued having conversations with Mason, inviting him to visit her and asking him about whether or not he'd been meeting girls in his new single life. However, the brunette beauty got a surprise one month later.

"Recently I found out [Jack] and Shyanne were back together basically the second they got home, and she knew that me and Jack were still talking," Carter said. "I guess about a month in is when they decided to like cut everyone off."

"So then I was blocked from Jack, blocked from Shyanne, and that was it," she said, insisting "they fully got back together, fully are back together," but that they don't want people to know.

In the Temptation Island season 2 reunion on The Viall Filesfollowing the finale, both Blankenship and Mason claimed they were still broken up, but they did admit to having an intense talk one month after filming where they shared every detail on what happened with the singles on the show. They also confirmed they cut off their other connections following the chat.

"I would say that conversation was productive," said Blankenship. "Jack was like, I still want you like in my life. I still want to be friends with you... We've been together for so long that I think that's the best, and that's where we kind of just came to the conclusion of everybody from the show needs to go."

Kendra Duggar has entered a not guilty plea in her child endangerment case.

According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, Kendra, 27, entered the plea on Thursday, Apr. 23, in her case against the State of Arkansas.

Kendra’s lawyer also submitted a motion to dissolve the no contact order against her alleged victims on Apr. 17.

Per the documents, the unnamed victims “have expressed a desire to have contact” with Kendra as she “complied” with the order’s terms.

Later that day, a judge signed off on the request and dissolved the no contact order.

“It is further ordered that the Arkansas Department of Human Services is authorized to supervise, communicate and facilitate reunification between the Defendant and the individuals previously covered in the no contact order,” the judge’s ruling read.

Kendra was released from jail shortly following her arrest after posting a $1,470 bond. Joseph, for his part, was released from custody in Florida after posting a $600,000 bond on Mar. 31.

The couple have been married since 2017 and share four young children.

One cover of "Stairway to Heaven" still gives fans chills years later—and now American Songwriter is calling Heart’s unforgettable tribute the greatest Led Zeppelin cover of all time.

The Night That Left Led Zeppelin in Awe

It was the Kennedy Center Honors in 2012. Barack Obama was in office, and the night’s honorees included Buddy Guy,Dustin Hoffman, Natalia Makarova, David Letterman, and Led Zeppelin.

Ann Wilson and Nancy Wilson took the stage as Jimmy Page, Robert Plant, and John Paul Jones watched with anticipation. Nancy Wilson plucked the first iconic guitar chords of "Stairway to Heaven."

Anticipation quickly turned to emotion as Ann Wilson added her powerful vocals. Tears fell down Jimmy Page’s face as he was left nearly speechless, uttering a quiet "Wow" when he realized Jason Bonham, son of John Bonham, was behind the drum kit.

Why This Performance Still Gives Fans Chills

Page, Plant, and Jones bobbed their heads and smiled throughout the song’s lengthy build. Ann Wilson expertly echoed Robert Plant’s expansive vocal range while adding the depth she’s known for. As the song reached its crescendo, a curtain lifted behind the band to reveal the Joyce Garrett Youth Choir, whose voices filled the venue and elevated the performance into something far beyond a tribute.

Robert Plant later called the performance "magnificent," while Jimmy Page admitted he rarely enjoys "Stairway to Heaven" covers, making this one a rare exception.

“I’ve seen my dad cry twice ever. Once was my sister’s wedding, and the other time was watching this video,” one fan commented echoing the sentiments of many.

What Makes "Stairway to Heaven" So Difficult to Cover

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5MBGezhgLSA

"Stairway to Heaven" is one of rock’s most iconic songs and one of its most challenging to perform. The eight-minute track builds steadily, demanding endurance from both vocalist and band.

The emotion in Led Zeppelin’s original relies heavily on Robert Plant’s high, almost aching vocal tone, while the guitar work requires precision and control at an elite level. Few artists can balance both technical skill and emotional weight.

A Tribute That Became Something More

Heart’s performance didn’t just honor a legendary song—it showed that its legacy could be carried forward at the highest level. Performing in front of Led Zeppelin themselves, the band delivered a version that earned visible emotion and lasting praise.

More than a decade later, Ann and Nancy Wilson’s rendition remains the defining Led Zeppelin cover, a powerful example of how to reinterpret a classic while staying true to its original spirit.

Sullivan’s Crossing is back for Season 4, but without a major cast member. Scott Pattersonleft the series ahead of the new season.

Patterson was an OG cast member on Sullivan’s Crossing, playing Harry "Sully" Sullivan since Season 1. However, when Season 4 premiered, Maggie (Morgan Kohan) revealed that her dad, Sully, had left The Crossing.

 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬

The reason for Patterson's exit from Sullivan’s Crossing depends on whom you ask. Showrunner Roma Roth broke the news that the Gilmore Girls star was exiting the series ahead of the new season.

Roth explained that the reason was simply storyline-dedicated since Sully ended Season 3 by agreeing to go on a trip to Ireland with his girlfriend, Helen (Kate Vernon). Patterson, though, has a different version of why he left Sullivan’s Crossing.

“Every actor knows what it’s like to fall in love with a character and a story. I fell in love with Sully and have nothing but fondness for him. The creative differences were becoming untenable and I just sadly realized that the show was not something that I could agree to continue,” he shared in an Instagram post breaking his silence on his exit.

Patterson explained that the implication that his departure was a storyline reason for Sully was unfortunate. He called what was being told as the opposite of the truth, calling it sad that people who know the truth have changed the narrative.

“I was not intending to make any statement but the fans of the books and the show deserve to know the truth as I have always been respectful of those who support this industry by watching and loving these characters we are so dang lucky and blessed to portray and bring to life,” the actor expressed.

The Gilmore Girls fan favorite ended his statement by sharing his love for playing Sully, especially since the show is based on the Sullivan’s Crossing books by Robyn Carr. Patterson praised the richness of the character of Sully on the show and in the books.

Sullivan’s Crossing fans were the reason Patterson felt the need to make sure Sully was portrayed correctly and to let them know why Sully and Patterson are no longer on the show.

The new season has introduced a couple of new characters to help fill the void left by Patterson and Sully. Maggie’s ex-husband, Liam (Marcus Rosner), plays a key role in the season as his return means major drama for her and Cal (Chad Michael Murray).

'80s actor Johnathan Silverman has joined Sullivan’s Crossing Season 4, playing a grumpy and disgruntled camper at The Crossing.

Sullivan’s Crossing airs Mondays at 8/7c on The CW.
