Days of Our Lives fan favorites Charles Shaughnessy (Shane) and Stephen Nichols (Steve) reunited to participate in the PanCan Purple Stride Walk to raise money for pancreatic cancer.

Nichols led the charge as the team captain for Hogey’s Home Runner. The name was a nod to Hogestyn’s nickname when he was a baseball player.

Shaughnessy posted a picture of him with Nichols at the walk. It was smiles all around for the men, who were there for their friend.

“Congratulations to @stephen_e_nichols and Hogey’s Homerunners on raising over $50k to fight Pancreatic cancer! You can still donate at link. Doing it for Hogey!” the soap star shared as his caption.

Nichols showed up in the comments to thank his pal for being part of the event. “Thanks for coming out and supporting PanCan and Drake, Charlie. So great to see you!💜”

Martha Madison (Belle) also chimed in to say, “So great seeing you today! Xx.”

In an interview with CBS LA Mornings, Nichols admitted that Hogestyn would be so proud of people coming together to walk to raise money for pancreatic cancer. “He’s the kind of guy who would’ve been at the forefront of this move me if it had been someone else,” Nichols declared.

This is the second year that the Day of Our Lives family has come together to take part in the walk. Last year, Madison and Eric Martsolf (Brady) were team leaders for the walk.

Hogestyn played John Black on the hit Peacock soap for 38 years. The actor was beloved by his co-stars and fans, leaving a major impact on the soap world. He privately battled pancreatic cancer before his death.

In June 2025, Days of Our Livespaid tribute to Hogestyn with emotional episodes that featured John's death. The actor had signed off on the storyline before his death. As loved ones gathered to pay tribute and mourn John, the soap's stars were remembering their friend and mourning him.

Days of Our Lives airs weekdays on Peacock.

BookCon was supposed to be a celebration. After a six-year hiatus, the fan-favorite literary convention returned April 18 and 19 with big-name authors, new releases, and thousands of eager readers ready to reconnect in person. Instead, the weekend quickly became defined by problems and chaos.

Attendees and publishers alike are now reflecting on what went wrong after widespread reports of crowd control issues, aggressive behavior around advance reader copies, and a general sense that the event spiraled beyond expectations.

Advance reader copies, often called ARCs, have long been a perk of book conventions. Publishers distribute them for free to generate early buzz ahead of release dates. At this year’s BookCon, they became just one unexpected source of contention. Lines for highly anticipated titles stretched across the convention floor, with some attendees reporting pushing, shouting, and frantic attempts to secure limited copies.

Several publishers described the atmosphere as unusually intense. Reports from attendees showed long queues forming hours in advance, with some readers strategizing their routes through the convention hall to maximize their chances. Others documented moments where crowds surged as giveaways began, raising safety concerns.

The situation did not stay contained to the convention floor. Online marketplaces quickly filled with listings for ARCs from the event, some priced far above their original free value. That resale activity has fueled a growing debate within the publishing community about whether the culture around early copies has shifted too far from its original purpose.

Coverage from outlets including Cosmopolitan and People highlighted both the excitement of BookCon’s return and the challenges that came with it. While major announcements and author appearances still drew enthusiastic crowds, much of the conversation in the days since has focused on fan behavior and event management.

For longtime readers, the contrast has been striking. Earlier iterations of BookCon were often described as energetic but manageable, with a focus on discovery and community. This year, many attendees said the experience felt more competitive, shaped in part by the influence of online book communities where rare or early copies can carry big price tags and bragging rights.

Publishers and organizers have not yet outlined specific changes for future events, but the conversation is already underway. Some industry voices are calling for stricter distribution systems for ARCs, while others suggest limiting quantities or shifting to digital copies to reduce pressure on physical giveaways.

Even with the controversy, interest in BookCon remains strong. The turnout alone signals that demand for in-person literary events is still high. What happens next may determine whether future conventions can recapture the balance between enthusiasm and accessibility that made them popular in the first place.

Fans of The Devil Wears Prada know it’s not just the fashion that made the film unforgettable—it’s the fashion-fueled iconic moments. From biting one-liners to perfectly placed songs, the original movie built a world that still lives rent-free in pop culture. Now, with a sequel on the horizon, the big question is: which of those iconic elements might make a comeback?

Here are 10 fan-favorite moments that feel primed for a return in The Devil Wears Prada 2, according to VegasInsider.com.

1. "Vogue" by Madonna. Already a global hit, “Vogue” became inseparable from Andy’s transformation montage. The fact that it appears in early sequel footage suggests it could once again soundtrack a major fashion moment.
2. Miranda saying "That’s all." Few lines define Miranda Priestly quite like this one. Its icy delivery became instantly iconic—and fans will be listening closely for its return.
3. A phone dramatically meeting water. The original’s Paris fountain scene is unforgettable. A modern twist—perhaps involving a smartphone—would be a fitting callback.
4. Miranda actually wearing Prada. Despite the title, Prada itself was used sparingly. A more deliberate inclusion this time would feel like a wink to longtime viewers.
5. A cerulean moment. The cerulean sweater monologue is one of the film’s most quoted scenes. Whether obvious or subtle, a nod to it feels almost essential.
6. "Suddenly I See" by KT Tunstall. The song helped define the film’s opening energy. Bringing it back would instantly tap into that same momentum.
7. Miranda saying "Groundbreaking." Delivered with razor-sharp sarcasm, it’s another line fans would love to hear again.
8. Emily’s stressed-out mantra. If Emily Charlton returns, so might her frantic "I love my job" refrain—especially in a high-pressure setting.
9. A jaw-dropping number of outfits. The original set the bar high with dozens of looks. Whether the sequel ups the ante or scales back, fashion will remain front and center.
10. The iconic lip purse. Sometimes, Miranda doesn’t need words. That subtle, devastating expression says it all.

Whether these moments return exactly as fans remember or get a modern update, one thing is certain: the sequel has a legacy to live up to (and plenty of iconic inspiration to draw from).

The Devil Wears Prada 2 releases in theaters May 1, 2026.

Hey, Fleetwood Mac fans, have you heard of Lissie yet? A 43-year-old singer-songwriter hailing from the Midwest, the rising star is hitting an emotional chord and filling a void that’s lingered since the legendary band stepped away from the spotlight.    

With her raspy tone and indie-folk persona, Lissie is frequently compared to the band’s lead singer Stevie Nicks. Though she says the parallel is completely unintentional, she’s still managed to capitalize on the similarity while creating a path that's all her own. 

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

“It’s funny because I’ve always loved classic rock,” she says in an interview with Boston University. “Growing up I’ve always liked Fleetwood Mac, and Stevie Nicks is amazing. It’s a total honor and a compliment to be compared to Stevie Nicks.” 

Releasing a piano-driven rendition of “Dreams” on her 2019 album, When I’m Alone: The Piano Retrospective, Lissie also released a raw, acoustic version of “Go Your Own Way” (originally recorded for a tea commercial) on her 2021 EP, Covered Up With Flowers. That one has since racked up nearly 40 million streams on Spotify.

“It’s been an interesting thing that kept pulling me back without intentionally trying to align myself with this Fleetwood Mac comparison,” she says. “But they’re such an amazing band. I’ll take it, I love it!” 

Last year, Lissie released an ethereal take on “Everywhere” as part of her EPThank You to the Flowers, but it’s actually one of her original hits that is earning the moniker “best Stevie Nicks song not sung by Stevie Nicks.” 

With “Night Moves,” an Americana-tinged single off her 2022 album, Carving Canyons, the Midwest folk-rocker delivers her signature sonic comfort with a cosmic heartbreak anthem that sounds right out of the Nicks arsenal. 

“Lissie’s vocals are scarily close to Nicks’,” American Songwritershares. “If you didn’t know better, you could hear her music and be convinced it’s a new Nicks offering. Take ‘Night Moves’ for example. This song could easily be a Nicks hit, both in sound and lyricism. If I could claim anyone as being the heir to the rock legend’s vocal legacy, it would be Lissie.”

Adding to her Fleetwood Mac covers and original tracks are further tributes to popular hits. From The Pretenders’ “I’ll Stand by You” and Kid Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness,” to Simon & Garfunkel’s “America” and Metallica’s “Nothing Else Matters,” Lissie has a long history of stripping down hits and making them her own. 

“I really love tackling songs in different genres because it’s kind of how you can tell a song’s really good: You take everything away and it’s still really solid.” 

And we love her so much for it.

She also shared a snap of her medal and personal best time with fans to her Instagram.

The Grammy, Emmy, and Tony Award winner will appear on screen next in the film adaptation of the fantasy novelChildren of Blood and Bone in 2027.

The actor wowed the audience with his violin skills as he played a song in honor of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson. Mazza was on fire as he put a spin on "Smooth Criminal," showcasing his killer technique and amazing musical gift.

In an Instagram post, Mazza shared a clip from the performance, where it was easy to see he was giving it his all and having the time of his life.

“Lakers Playoffs Game 2 - In honor of the Michael Jackson movie @michaeljackson 🎤🎸,” read the caption on his Instagram post. The actor was referring to the new biopic, Michael, about the life of the legendary singer.

Several of Mazza’s General Hospital co-stars flooded the comments section to gush over his outstanding performance.

“My son!! ❤️,” wrote Mazza’s on-screen father, Dominic Zamprogna (Dante). Mazza’s on-screen grandmother, Rena Sofer (Lois), chimed in to say, “My boy!!! My amazing TV grandson!!!!”

Mazza’s real-life best friend and on-screen girlfriend, Braedyn Bruner (Emma), declared, “you are the coolest person I know 🤩❤️✨.” General Hospital star Laura Wright (Carly) gushed, “Hell Yeah !!!!! 💫💫💫,” while Kelly Thiebaud (Britt) called the performance “Incredible 👏👏👏.”

Nazneen Contractor (Justine) wrote, “AMAZING!!!” and Katelyn MacMullen (Willow) left clapping emojis for the talented violinist. The newest General Hospital star, Jonathan Bennett, popped in to call Mazza a “Legend.”

When most people think of Honey Maid, three flavors come to mind: Original, Cinnamon, and Chocolate. Those are the graham crackers that have been sitting in pantries across America since the brand launched in 1925, and for the most part, the lineup has stayed the same. Until now.

On Friday, April 17, Honey Maid Snacks took to Instagram to introduce a brand-new addition to the family. "Sweet, salty, and so worth the hype," the caption read. "Meet the NEW Honey Maid Salted Caramel Graham Crackers."

View this post on Instagram

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

The limited-edition flavor combines the brand's signature graham cracker base with a salted caramel twist, topped with a light dusting of salt. They're available in Honey Maid's Fresh Stacks format — six individually wrapped sleeves per box — and can be found at Target, Walmart, Amazon, and other major retailers nationwide. Each serving has 120 calories, 8 grams of whole grains, and no high-fructose corn syrup.

It didn't take long for reactions to pour into the comments section.

"We are soooo ready for this!!!" one person wrote. 

"These are literally the best flavor of graham crackers I’ve ever had! I hope they end up being a permanent item and not limited edition. Sooo good," another added. 

"WHATTTTTT?!?!?! Cannot wait to try🤩🤩🤩," chimed in a third. 

Others were already making plans: "Using these tonight in our s’mores! Cannot wait!!!😍," someone else said.

The s’mores angle isn’t accidental. S’mores are a roughly $250 million annual business in the U.S., with Instacart data showing that graham cracker and marshmallow orders spike together around Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day. Honey Maid is already featuring recipes on its website that swap the classic cracker for the Salted Caramel version, including S'more Marshmallow Pops, a S'mores Mug Cake, and a S'mores Refrigerator "Cake" that uses the graham crackers as layers.

New flavors from Honey Maid are genuinely uncommon. A limited-edition Gingerbread version popped up around the 2011 holiday season, but moments like that are few and far between — which helps explain why Salted Caramel is getting so much attention.

That said, it’s not a forever flavor. There’s no official end date, but the packaging and retailer listings both signal a limited run. For anyone eyeing salted caramel s’mores this summer, the clock is already ticking.

Nearly 33 years have passed since Mrs. Doubtfire was released in theaters. ButSally Field knows why the blockbuster comedy remains a fan favorite—especially among Millennials. 

And no, the movie’s enduring popularity has little to do with the hilarious sight of Robin Williams in a dress and high heels.

"The movie is about something really valid and important," the actress tells Parade in this week’s exclusive cover story coming on April 29. "It’s a lot of laughter, but it’s about the difficulties of divorce for children and how ultimately, the mom and the dad can get divorced and the kids will still be okay. Kids need to know this—they need to know that sometimes divorce is the very best thing because sometimes when moms and dads feel they need to stay together for the kids, it’s a bad message."

The movie chronicles Daniel Hillard (Williams), a freelance voice actor desperate to spend more time with his three kids—played by Lisa Jakub, Matthew Lawrence and Mara Wilson—after a divorce. His big idea: Dressing up and disguising himself as an elderly British nanny, "Mrs. Euphegenia Doubtfire."

Field plays Miranda, his ex-wife who hires Mrs. Doubtfire and starts confiding in her—all the while unaware of her true identity. She also falls in love with a dashing new man (Pierce Brosnan). Field explains, "You want your children to understand that finding a partner to support you and love you and grow with you and challenge you is a really wonderful thing. And if it isn’t working, that’s okay, too. Not every relationship is supposed to last 'till the end of time."

Field herself is a two-time divorcée: She was wed to high school sweetheart Steven Craig from 1968-75 and to producer Alan Greisman from 1984-94. Like Miranda, she’s also a proud mom of three—screenwriter Peter Craig (Top Gun: Maverick), screenwriter and director Eli Craig (Little Evil) and writer Sam Greisman.

The actress—who stars in the heartwarming new Netflix movie Remarkably Bright Creatures out May 8—adds that she and Williams—along with director Chris Columbus (Home Alone) made sure that all the adult characters stayed sympathetic throughout the narrative. "We wanted to say to the kids that there are no bad guys in this," she says. "Life isn’t just one thing. And if you clamp down on it and demand that it stay this one thing, you miss the really fabulous colors of life and all its different paths. Like 'Oh wait, there’s this path and that path. I didn’t see that.'"

Released over Thanksgiving weekend in 1993 to mixed reviews (famed critic Roger Ebert gave it a “thumbs down”!), Mrs. Doubtfire nonetheless grossed nearly $450 million worldwide and was the second-highest-grossing movie of the year behindJurassic Park. It received an Oscar for Best Makeup and the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy. The Mrs. Doubtfire musical officially opened on Broadway in 2021.

Since its release in 1973, The Exorcist has been scaring and fascinating audiences with its creepy, yet contemplative tale of a possessed child named Regan (Linda Blair). So, it shouldn't come as a surprise that Collider recently named the film, based on William Peter Blatty's 1971 novel, as the "most universally beloved horror movie of all time."

Other horror films listed on Collider's ranking included spooky hits like 1982's The Thing, The Shining from 1980, and Halloween released in 1978.

The Exorcist, which has a score of 83 on Metacritic, grossed a total of $430,872,776 worldwide, per Box Office Mojo.

The Director of 'The Exorcist' Shared Why He Thought the Film Was Considered a Classic

In a 2013 panel at the Dallas International Film Festival, the film's director, William Friedkin, shared why he believed The Exorcist has remained so beloved among horror fans. He said that the movie immediately gained quite the reputation for being terrifying. According to Friedkin, the expectation of the film being frightening makes it an even more exciting and unsettling viewing experience.

"The Exorcist came out, people had heard that it was a scary film. You hear something is scary your mind is preset to be frightened, it's like walking down a street in your own life or going somewhere where something terrible has happened, maybe a bad accident," said the director, who died in 2023 at the age of 83.

He also said that scary films like The Exorcist allow audiences to experience something horrifying while retaining their safety.

"When you come into a movie theater, you have that but you are also in a kind of safe darkness," explained the filmmaker while on the panel. "You're sitting in a movie theater, usually surrounded by other people who are going through the same experience, but you know that you can get up when it's over and walk out. You know this isn't happening to you really."

Chaos, confusion, commotion, and gunshots marred the annual White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. Saturday evening, an armed suspect forced his way past a security checkpoint and shot at a Secret Service agent before being subdued and arrested. 

The suspect was later identified as 31-year-old Cole Thomas Allen from the Los Angeles suburb of Torrance, California. Per The New York Post, Allen called himself the “Friendly Federal Assassin” in an anti-Trump manifesto. 

High-ranking political officials attended the event, along with President Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance. White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller and his very pregnant wife, Katie Miller, were among those in attendance. And whether you agree with the pair’s politics or not, watching the videos of the pregnant mother-to-be rushing out of the ballroom isn’t exactly easy to do.

Images of the event flooded social media feeds, showing the clearly terrified mother of three (almost four) fleeing the chaotic scene. Miller was photographed helping his wife up from the table and, with Secret Service, escorting her to safety. 

Katie later posted (on Instagram) a red carpet moment of herself and Stephen from the dinner, captioning it, “An unforgettable night at the White House Correspondents' Dinner…Our fourth kid certainly had an eventful evening. We are grateful to law enforcement and our incredible USSS.”

Friends and fans took to Instagram, sending their well-wishes. Entrepreneur and Evie Magazine founder, Brittany Hugoboom, wrote, “Glad you’re okay. You look beautiful!” while another commenter said, “Glad you and the baby are safe.”

Following the events of April 25, President Donald Trump held a press conference, saying,  “That was incredibly unexpected, but incredibly acted upon by Secret Service and law enforcement. This was an event dedicated to freedom of speech that was supposed to bring together members of both parties with members of the press. And in a certain way, it did.” He continued, “A man charged a security checkpoint armed with multiple weapons, and he was taken down by some very brave members of Secret Service. And they acted very quickly.” 

When Is Katie Miller’s Baby Due?

Katie Miller is a conservative political podcaster and media personality. She married Stephen Miller in 2020. The couple has three children, a daughter (born in 2020) and two sons (born in 2022 and 2023). Katie announced her pregnancy on New Year’s Eve with a belly bump Instagram photo. While she hasn’t publicly said when her fourth child is due, judging by her initial post, the best guess is early summer. 

Food isn't just about fuel or nourishment, but that's part of eating, right? Chowing down on more home-cooked meals instead of eating out is one way to ensure you're getting the nourishment your body needs (and less of what it doesn't, like excess salt). It also saves money, a win in this economy. Also, meal prepping in advance can lower your risk of Type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases.

But we often get mixed messages about fish and your health. On the one hand, fish are often included in lists of foods included in the Mediterranean diet. On the other hand, some fish (like salmon) are labeled "fatty fish"—and isn't fat unhealthy? That answer is nuanced, and RDs will dig into that below, sharing the best types of fish to eat.

Also, let's be real: Taste is a big part of eating, too, and fish can feel like an intimidating proteinto cook at home if you're a beginner. Fish at a restaurant has a specific smell, taste and texture, all of which affect your dining experience. It can feel like cooking a fish for one extra minute could rock the boat and sink the meal.

So, perhaps surprisingly, registered dietitians share that tons of fish are easy to cook at home and delicious to eat. To help you get your creative juices flowing, scroll down for 21 different types of fish you can eat that are easy to cook at home.

The Best Fish To Eat, According to a Registered Dietitian

As a fitness and nutrition advisor, Dr. Chris Mohr, Ph.D., RD, of Garage Gym Reviews, highly recommends salmon.  

"Salmon contains omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health, help lower inflammation, and may improve triglyceride levels with consistent intake and overall balanced nutrition," Dr. Mohr says.

Also, in case you've missed the social media fodder, protein is important, and Dr. Mohr says salmon has that plus vitamin D.

"From a practical standpoint, salmon is easy to cook at home," Dr. Mohr notes. "It works well baked, grilled or pan-seared, and it cooks quickly. The flavor is rich but not overly fishy, and the texture is tender and flaky, which makes it appealing even for people who do not eat fish often."

What Fish Is Good for Lowering Triglycerides?

There are plenty of fish that are good for lowering triglycerides (fat in the body that can lead to heart disease if there's too much).

"Fish like mackerel, salmon, sardines and tuna are all great at helping to lower triglycerides as they are a good source of omega-3s, which can help reduce inflammation in the arteries and lower bad cholesterol," states Destini Moody, RD, CSSD, LD, a registered dietitian at VNutrition.

Indeed, the American Heart Association says that regularly consuming foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids can lower the risk of heart disease. Omega-3s are monounsaturated fats, which are distinct from the saturated fats that can raise the risk of heart disease. Moody points out that fatty cuts of beef and pork are high in saturated fat, so she loves that omega-3-rich fish can serve as a heart-healthy protein source.

Can I Eat Fish With Diabetes?

Fish can be a part of a diabetes-friendly diet. "Fish is an excellent food for people with diabetes," Dr. Mohr tells Parade. "It provides protein without raising blood sugar, and many types of fish contain healthy fats that support heart health."

Moody points out that omega-3s can lower the risk of heart disease, which people with diabetes are more at risk of developing.

"Chronically high blood sugar levels in the arteries," Moody says.

A DiabetesCare study found that oily fish (such as salmon) and fish supplements were associated with a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes, but non-oily fish (such as cod or haddock) were not.

21 Different Types of Fish To Eat

1. Tuna

Texture and Taste: Flaky, firm, meaty, dense and very fishy

This versatile fish is a favorite of Moody's.

"You can get it canned, which means you can keep it forever without worrying about it spoiling in the back of your fridge," she raves.

Moody loves popping open a can of tuna and throwing it into a bowl of pasta or salad—it's delicious and budget-friendly.

2. Tilapia

Texture and Taste: Medium-firm, flaky and mild

Moody loves recommending tilapia to her clients.

"It’s on the cheaper side compared to other fish," Moody explains. "Buying a bag of frozen tilapia is a great way to have lean protein on hand in a pinch, especially because it is easy to cook, cooks quickly and has a mild flavor that takes up seasoning very well without an overpowering fish flavor."

3. Shrimp

Texture and Taste: Tender, juicy, plump, mild and slightly sweet

Grocery-store shrimp cocktail is a classic appetizer at gatherings. But shrimp is a cinch to cook.

"This is my favorite of all animal proteins due to the fact that you can use it as a substitute for fattier meats, as it has virtually no fat or carbohydrates," Moody says. "Shrimp is nearly a pure protein source."

Moody adds that shrimp is also purely versatile.

"Have shrimp tacos instead of shredded pork or put them on veggie kabobs instead of steak," Moody suggests. "It has more of a bite than flakier, light fish—just make sure not to cook it for too long, or it gets rubbery."

4. Cod

Texture and Taste: Firm, lean, large-flaked and mild

Moody is a fan of the very mild but brijney (ocean-y) flavor of cod.

"It’s denser than some other white fish, but it’s great as a sturdy protein if you want to throw it on the grill or bread it," Moody says. "It doesn’t fall apart as easily as some other fish, which is why it’s a prime choice for fish sticks."

Moody adds that cod's low-fat content makes it a good choice for people managing or trying to lose weight.

5. Mackerel

Texture and Taste: Soft, moist, flaky, rich, savory and slightly sweet

Mackerel is Moody's top pick for "best fish for your health."

"I gotta say—I love mackerel," Moody explains. "I grew up with my mom making mackerel croquettes with mashed potatoes for dinner, and it was one of my favorite meals."

Moody adds that you can also find canned mackerel, making it an accessible seafood option for people on a budget.

"With all the talk of salmon having heart-healthy omega-3s, mackerel can have twice as much of the essential nutrient per serving," Moody raves. "Also, this is a fish with edible bones, which can give you almost a full day’s worth of your daily needs of Vitamin D."

6. Salmon

Texture and Taste: Firm, lean and intense (wild-caught); soft, fatty and mild (farmed)

Moody may prefer mackerel over salmon, including for nutritional reasons. But salmon still has a seat at her table, in part because it's an oily fish with a unique flavor.

"Basically, if you close your eyes and eat salmon, you can almost always identify it as salmon," Moody states. "It’s also very hard to miscook it, especially if you pan-sear or have it baked."

To that end, Moody is a huge fan of salmon's versatility. Some of her favorite salmon recipe ideas include BBQ and raw, served with rice and veggies (if you're feeling adventurous). You can also find salmon pouches and eat them with crackers for a protein-packed snack.

7. Halibut

Texture and Taste: Thick-flaked, meaty, firm, mild and subtly sweet

Moody says this fish brings the meat—its firm texture makes it feel more like a beefsteak than a light seafood fish. Yet, it remains approachable to seafood newbies.

"It doesn’t have a strong fishy flavor, so it’s a great choice for those who don’t like the fish taste, but want to eat more seafood," Moody explains. "Searing in a pan is a great way to lock in the moisture and flavor of this."

8. Mahi-Mahi

Texture and Taste: Firm, meaty, mild and slightly sweet

"If you want to get fancy with your fish, a tropical one like mahi mahi is a great way to go," Moody declares.

Moody says Mahi-Mahi's flavor is *chef's kiss" even when it's raw, which is why you'll find it in poke bowls, ceviche and sashimi.

"The flavor is slightly sweet, but it’s got a robust, firm texture, so it’s a favorite of mine to have with some chips and a little bit of ponzu," Moody notes.

9. Sea bass

Texture and Taste: Moist, flaky, delicate, mild and slightly sweet

Moody reports that sea bass is "considered by fish enthusiasts to be the filet mignon of the fish family."

Well, with a reputation like that!

"It’s got a moist, soft and buttery texture that is coveted by many, which is why it’s on the pricier side compared to other fish," Moody explains. "It has very high fat content, so it's not super ideal for those watching their calorie intake, but the fat content makes it almost impossible to overcook if you don’t know your way around a stove."

10. Flounder

Texture and Taste: Delicate, tender, fine-flaked and slightly sweet

Moody describes flounder as "soft and delicate," which is a big win if you're hangry and want some fish fast.

"It cooks in a flash for a quick lunch or dinner and is great for people who are new to cooking fish," Moody explains. "It has a mild flavor that’s very flaky, and I’m personally a big fan of coating it in some parmesan and having it with some roasted asparagus."

Bonus: Moody points out that flounder is high in selenium, an antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties that can help protect you from chronic illness as part of a well-balanced lifestyle.

11. Trout

Texture and Taste: Delicate, soft and mild

Dr. Mohr is a fan of the heart-friendly omega-3s in trout, which make it comparable to salmon in terms of nutrient density. He says trout is easy to cook whole or filet, and the mild, delicate and soft taste and texture make it an approachable fish.

12. Arctic char

Texture and Taste: Delicate, buttery, rich, mild and slightly sweet

Arctic char tastes like a delicious mix of trout and salmon.

"Arctic char is similar to salmon but often a bit milder," Dr. Mohr explains. "It is rich in omega-3 fats."

And, like both of those fish, it's a straightforward seafood to whip up in the kitchen. Dr. Mohr says it cooks well on a stovetop or in an oven. Its soft, flaky texture and mild taste with a touch of sweetness make Arctic char approachable and versatile.

13. Sardines

Texture and Taste: Soft, strong and briny (ocean-like)

Don't underestimate sardines. Dr. Mohr calls them a small but mighty nutritious fish to cook.

"Sardines are small but very nutrient-dense. They provide omega-3 fats, calcium and vitamin D," he explains.

You can often purchase sardines ready to eat, but it's simple to grill, bake or pan-fry them with light seasoning, such as lemon or garlic.

"The flavor is stronger than most fish, but many people enjoy the savory, slightly briny taste and soft texture," Dr. Mohr adds.

14. Haddock

Texture and Taste: Flaky, mild and slightly sweet

This cold-water North Atlantic fish is lean and low in fat, packed with protein. Haddock is similar to cod in that it's a regular choice for the "fish" in "fish and chips." But haddock tends to be firmer, making it a better pick if you want fried fish. It's easy to bake and add to chowders, too, thanks to its subtly sweet, mild flavor.

15. Walleye

Texture and Taste: Flaky, delicate, slightly sweet and mild

A top pick among fish fanatics for "best freshwater fish," walleye tastes clean and doesn't have a "fishy aftertaste." Its flaky, firm texture gives it a rich, buttery mouthfeel, though. Sometimes compared to sole in terms of taste and texture, this North American fish shines when pan-fried, baked or grilled. These methods bring out the best in its delicate taste.

16. Catfish

Texture and Taste: Firm, mild and slightly sweet

Catfish is considered one of the lowest-mercury fish, making it a top recommendation for pregnant people and children (check with your own healthcare team first, though). It's also on the lower-calorie end but high in omega-3 fatty acids. It's versatile to boot—fry, bake or grill catfish for a swoon-worthy seafood dinner.

17. Red snapper

Texture and Taste: Firm, light, sweet, mild and nutty

Red snapper is versatile, largely because of its moist, sweet (if slightly nutty) taste that's not overly "fishy." It has a pinkish-white, lean fish that keeps its shape when grilled, baked, poached or pan-seared, especially with light seasoning such as lemon or herbs.

Expect the flesh to turn opaque white when it's finished.

18. Monkfish

Texture and Taste: Firm, mild and sweet

Poor man's lobster? Puh-leeze. Monkfish is lean and holds its shape much better than other white fish, so it's excellent for throwing into stews, roasting or grilling. Firm, dense and white, monkfish dishes shine thanks to the fish's mild but sweet taste. The clean, mild flavor makes monkfish the perfect canvas for pungent seasonings, like garlic.

19. White perch

Texture and Taste: Lean, firm, moist, flaky and mild

Delicate yet firm, white perch, a temperate bass family member, are found in freshwater and Atlantic coast estuaries. The white fish is flaky and has a clean taste, making perch a fine option for pan-frying or baking at home. White perch also plays well with all the fixings in tacos.

20. Sole

Texture and Taste: Fine, lean, delicate, flaky and mild

Sole has a mild, delicate flavor similar to that of flounder or trout, but it may be even milder. Sole is a white fish that stays white, even when cooked. Its taste and fine, flaky texture make sole simple to pan-fry. Sole will net you plenty of nutrients, including vitamin B12 and selenium.

Nitas/Getty Images

21. Anchovies

Texture and Taste: Tender, silky, slightly firm, oily and strong

Anchovies' strong taste steals the show. It's a commonly used oily fish in Italian dishes, like pasta. These fish are firm, but can taste soft and delicate if heated. You can find canned anchovies, making them a budget-friendly seafood option.

Kristin Cavallari is celebrating a big business achievement with a steamy photo shoot.

The former reality star, 39, who rose to fame as a teen on the MTV series Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County, just hit a milestone anniversary with her jewelry company, Uncommon James. Cavallari took to Instagram to celebrate the 9th anniversary of the company with a steamy series of photos and videos that included everything from an orange bathing suit with an oversized beach hat to a topless photo where she has just popped out from under the water.

"9 years of @uncommonjames ✨ Not a day goes by that I’m not endlessly grateful for this brand—what it means to me, what it’s given me, and everything it’s taught me along the way. The highs, the lows, the lessons in between… and the endless joy and creative freedom it brings. Thank you for loving it the way I do 🫶," Cavallari captioned the carousel.

What Has Kristin Cavallari Said About Her Plastic Surgery?

Never one to hide the details, the former reality TV star opened up last year during an episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast about how she noticed something was off with her breasts.

“My intuition was saying, redo your boobs. Go get your boobs checked out.” Cavallari recalled, US Magazine reported. “At least get a consultation.”

Cavallari consulted her physician, because her “boobs were not laying how I wanted them to lay.”

Unfortunately, when her plastic surgeon looked into it, they realized the condition had become dire.

“He gets in there and I have a ruptured implant, and there is no way of knowing how long this implant was ruptured for,” the Very Cavallari star explained. “Because my implant was ruptured, my body then formed a huge piece of scar tissue around it, which is good because it, kind of, like, holds it all in place. It’s your body’s way of protecting itself.”

Having no idea when that happened, Cavallari suggested she could go through her camera roll and try to figure out “when my boob started going a little f—— cross-eyed.”

Moving forward, Cavallari, who has three children with ex-husband Jay Cutler, said she’s in a place where looking her best is important.

“Right now, in my life is when I need the best boobs imaginable. I’m sure some people won’t understand that and that’s OK, because it’s not your body. It’s my body and I am very healthy,” she noted. “If my vanity is going to come into play with my boobs. That’s one area where I’m like, ‘You know what? Yeah, I’m going to put silicone in my body.’ I’m going to do it and I’m happy about it.”

She concluded by explaining that she has no regrets about going under the knife to get plastic surgery.

“I’ll be honest with you guys, doing my boobs is one of the best things I’ve ever done,” she said.

If my jewelry isn't out where I can actually see it, it might as well not exist. I'm not digging through a tangled pile in a drawer at 7:30 a.m., so everything just becomes an afterthought, and suddenly I'm wearing the same two pieces on repeat. But the second I have it organized and on display? Totally different story.

The right jewelry organizer is like a little style moment built into your getting-ready routine. You remember what you own and start mixing things you forgot about. In fact, a good jewelry setup almost acts like inspiration—it nudges you to throw on that bracelet stack or layer a couple of necklaces instead of skipping it altogether.

Bracelet Bar, $7 at Five Below

Five Below

And when said jewelry organizer looks pretty sitting on your dresser, you're way more likely to actually use it. Which is exactly why this Five Below Bracelet Bar situation is so perfect. For starters, it has an almost vintage look. Actually, when I first spotted it on 5B's website, I assumed it was an old school-style task lamp. But alas, it's the perfect display for holding your favorite bracelets, and it's only $7.

There's the bar for hanging bracelets (obviously), but also smaller, divided trays below it for stashing rings or other accessories.

Five Below's Bracelet Bar also reminds me so much of Kendra Scott's Large T-Bar Jewelry Stand in Antique Brass, which retails for a whopping $100. Now Kendra Scott's version is taller, so in theory could also be used to hang necklaces. But the aesthetic? Totally the same. The benefit of Five Below's (aside from the price) is that it also has those little trays to stash other stuff, whereas Kendra Scott's doesn't.

A bracelet bar would make a fantastic Mother's Day gift, especially if you pair it with a pretty little bracelet for the mom figure in your life. With May 10 creeping up before you know it, you may want to bookmark this Five Below find.

The retailer has a ton of other sweet surprises for mom right now. There's a colorful set of flower-shaped drinking glasses and the daintiest serving tray that she can use for either party hosting or just corralling the small stuff in a decorative way. The options at Five Below feel almost endless, but the good stuff always sells out first, so get it while you can.

The Nancy Guthrie case is approaching its fourth month of investigation on May 1 and the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie and her two siblings has still not been found. Despite receiving thousands of tips about what might have happened to Nancy, investigators have yet to make an arrest, let alone pin down a person of interest in the case.

While media outlets once lined the streets outside Nancy’s home in the Catalina Foothills, coverage has since slowed and most news teams have left Tucson. Now, only a small number of YouTube live streamers remain in the area.

NewsNation’s Allison Hope Weiner recently spent time in Tucson, where she spoke with residents living nearby. While some reports suggest neighbors are frustrated with continued filming in the area, Weiner noted that many remain concerned about the lack of resolution in the case.

“While I was in Tucson, I also learned that despite the sheriff’s patrols targeted at trespassing journalists, the residents of Guthrie’s neighborhood are uneasy and concerned about the failure to find a suspect in her abduction,” Weiner said in a report.

"One of the neighbors told me that, as a result of Nancy’s kidnapping, people are living differently than before; installing cameras, watching for people in the area who look like they don’t belong and wondering if Nancy’s abductor and potential killer is living in their midst," Weiner continued.

Investigators believe Nancy was abducted from her home in the middle of the night, though the motive behind the alleged kidnapping remains unclear.

Days of Our Lives alum Pamela Roylance joined the cast in 1983 as the legacy character Sandy Horton. But the run was short-lived, with Sandy exiting Salem a year later. Now Roylance is reflecting on what went wrong, and why the role never took off as planned.

Roylance recently appeared on Jim Masters’ The Jim Masters Show on YouTube, where she discussed her career, from Little House on the Prairie to decades of work in Hollywood.

Roylance joined Days in 1983 as Sandy Horton, taking over the role from Martin Smith. She became the fourth actress to portray the character, who debuted in 1967 with Astrid Warner.

“Days of Our Lives was wonderful because it was a series regular.” Roylance said.

Sandy was originally introduced as a young girl living with her mother Kitty (Regina Gleason) and sharing a close bond with grandparents Tom (Macdonald Carey) and Alice Horton (Frances Reid). Years later, she followed in Tom’s footsteps and became a doctor at Salem University Hospital.

Roylance said she initially believed landing the soap role meant she would “work in this town forever,” but soon found herself unexpectedly searching for another job.

Looking back, Roylance said she did not fit the era’s typical ingenue image. “They had to work really hard to get me to look the way I looked, with my false eyelashes and the big hair and the sunken cheeks,” she said.

Roylance also praised veteran soap actresses for their ability to command the screen and make viewers invest in their storylines. “I think these women who play these roles are really good because they just are present in their bodies and they know how to take a scene and play a role and make the audience come into them and say, ‘We want to see more of you, your storyline, or more with this guy or that person.’”

She admitted she had not yet learned how to create that same connection with the audience.  “I didn't know what you had to do to send something through the camera to make them keep coming back.”

Roylance added that producers tested her chemistry with multiple cast members, nut nothing clicked.  “I wasn't uplifting their story line much,” she said. “And you have to give the writers something to write about. I was pretty timid. I was not wanting to step on anybody's toes.”

Reflecting on Sandy’s exit, Roylance said, “I really think it was my doing that ended the role. I should have brought something different to the table.”

Still, Roylance now sees the experience as valuable. “I think it's beautiful to find out as an actor where are your strong points, where are you comfortable, where are you going to be really happy in your skin, in that wardrobe, and playing roles that fit that.”

Days of Our Lives streams new episodes weekdays on Peacock.

Al Pacino and Beverly D'Angelo reunited for the legendary actor's 86th birthday, 22 years after they split up.

D'Angelo, 74, who originated the role of Ellen Griswold alongside Chevy Chase‘s Clark W. Griswold in the first National Lampoon’s Vacation film in 1983, played the iconic role of Ellen in several follow-ups, including 1989’s beloved holiday version, National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Pacino, of course, is known for diverse roles ranging from The Godfather and Dog Day Afternoon to Carlito’s Way and Scent of a Woman. But the former couple, who split in 2004, got back together this week to celebrate the actor's big 86th birthday, Page Six reported. Now that's keeping the friendship alive!

Pacino and D'Angelo Have Twins Together

Pacino and D'Angelo have twins, Anton and Olivia, together. Back in March, Pacino hit the red carpet with the twins, as well as his elder daughter, Julie, for the opening of her film I Live Here Now at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica back in March. I Live Here Now, a horror thriller, was actually Julie Pacino’s directorial debut!

What Has D'Angelo Said About Having Twins at 49 With Pacino?

When asked about raising kids in Hollywood, D’Angelo said that lifestyle wasn’t for her.

“I did not raise my kids in that culture,” D’Angelo told PEOPLE. “If I would have been more focused, maybe I would have had a bigger career, but I was focused on my kids, to tell you the truth.”

D'Angelo previously spoke about giving birth at 49, a rarity in any culture.

“I had kids really late — I gave birth to twins six weeks after I turned 49,” she told Fox News Digital. “It was really important to me to place them at the center of my world. So, I wouldn’t do any films that would take me out of town for any amount of time. I did television, I did some indie films and things like that, but my focus was really to always be emotionally and physically available to my kids.”

D’Angelo went on to say that she was inspired as a parent by the stable childhood her parents gave her while growing up in Ohio.

“There’s this thing that happens when you have kids,” D’Angelo shared. “All of a sudden, you go, ‘Oh, wait a minute, my parents.’ You look at how you were raised. Maybe some of the things that you thought were a drag when you were a kid turn out to be exactly what you want to pass on. And my value system has never included a lot of hype or a lot of focus on fame.”

Ultimately, D’Angelo chose to put her children before her acting career.

“And I’ve got to make a confession: I’m not a careerist,” she told the publication. “I have never been. Everything I’ve done is because I love a script or a character. But as far as pursuing a career, I wasn’t somebody who had a dream like, ‘One day I’m going to grow up and become an actress.’ That’s not me. I never thought, ‘If I do this role, maybe I’ll get this other role.’ I’ve always just been motivated by a profound need to express myself.”

According to Psychology Today, giving may seem about others, but paradoxically, it improves our life satisfaction. In their words, generosity lights up "regions of our brain associated with pleasure, social connection, and trust, making us feel all warm and gooey inside". Generosity comes in many shapes and sizes—like giving your time, showing kindness, being patient, or just being there when someone needs you the most. Anyone can be generous, no matter when they were born, but some months seem to bring out people who are especially giving and compassionate. Whether it's aligned in the stars or the vibe of the season, these four months often shine with warm-heartedness. Read on for expert astrology insights.

Which Birth Months are Most Generous?

Ed Smart is speaking out about the ongoing attention surrounding the Nancy Guthrie case, urging the public to focus on verified information rather than speculation. In new remarks made during an interview with NewsNation, Smart cautioned against conspiracy theories and emphasized the importance of keeping attention on credible updates as discussions involving Annie Guthrie and Tommaso Cioni continue to circulate.

“I think that it’s really important to, one, not go into conspiracy theories. I don’t think there’s much value in that. Of course, the Guthries have been looked at," Smart told NewsNation.
"[The family has] supposedly been cleared. So that should no longer really be out there in the public, regardless of whether people are searching around the house or not."

Smart's comments come as online chatter about Annie and her husband—the last people to see Nancy, 84, alive prior to her Feb. 1 disappearance, persists.

"I think it's important to keep information coming. Savannah and the family—more information about their mother," Smart continued. "That was one thing that our family continually tried to do was to keep new information coming out. We don't know what law enforcement has, whether they have any DNA that's of any value or not. Sometimes law enforcement really does not disclose what they have and that can be problematic."

"I think keeping Nancy's face out there, more information about Nancy, is really key," Smart said.

Smart has first-hand experience with missing persons cases, as his daughter Elizabeth Smart was abducted at age 14 and held for nine months before being rescued in 2003. Her disappearance sparked a nationwide search and became one of the most widely followed cases in the United States.

Someone in the public recognized Elizabeth while she was out walking with Mitchell nine months after she went missing and alerted authorities. This is likely the reason that Ed says that it's important to keep the story alive. As we've heard throughout this case: Someone out there knows something.
