Krispy Kreme is launching its first-ever Looney Tunes doughnut collection this Halloween—and that’s not all, folks!

As fans of the classic animated comedy already know, it’s been a big year for the series. It started by ringing in the historic birthday of Sylvester the Cat and then several characters appeared at the Winter Olympics. By the end of the summer, the world watched as Bugs Bunny overtook Mickey Mouse as the “Greatest Character of All Time” and Six Flags unveiled its reimagined Looney Tunes Land. Now as 2026 comes to a close, the fanfare isn’t quieting down, it’s just going in a much sweeter direction.

Krispy Kreme just announced it’s partnering with Warner Bros. to dress up its doughnuts for Halloween, offering guests its first-ever Looney Tunes Halloween Collection.

In a press release shared directly with Parade, the popular chain revealed it’s bringing some of the most iconic characters of all time to life with four all-new Looney Tunes-themed doughnuts: the Bugs Bunny Doughnut, the Tweety & Sylvester Doughnut, the Taz Doughnut and the Lola Doughnut.

“Looney Tunes characters have entertained generations of fans with their fun, laughter and mischief, making them a perfect match for Krispy Kreme this Halloween,” Alison Holder, Krispy Kreme Chief Brand and Product Officer, shared in a statement. “This collection captures that playful Looney Tunes spirit in a delicious way, with dozens made for sharing and making Halloween parties, gatherings and spooky season celebrations a little sweeter.”

And because this is a Halloween-related release, Krispy Kreme is conjuring up the doughnuts in festive fall favorites that include pumpkin sugar, purple buttercream, Oreos, bat sprinkles and more.

• Bugs Bunny Doughnut: an unglazed shell doughnut filled with chocolate dulce Kreme, dipped in red dulce icing and topped with chocolate drizzles, bat sprinkles and a Bugs Bunny Vampire sugar piece.
• Tweety and Sylvester Doughnut: an Original Glazed doughnut dipped in candy corn flavored icing and confetti sprinkle, topped with a Tweety & Sylvester Pumpkin sugar piece.
• Taz Doughnut: an unglazed shell doughnut filled with Oreo cookies & Kreme, dipped in chocolate icing and Oreo pieces and topped with green icing drizzles and a Taz Mummy sugar piece.
• Lola Bunny Doughnut: an Original Glazed doughnut with a purple buttercreme flavored swirl, gold stars, and a Lola Bunny sugar piece.

Krispy Kreme

Krispy Kreme said its Looney Tunes Halloween Collection will be available at participating shops and for pickup or delivery via its app and website beginning on Tuesday, Oct. 6. Fans can also enjoy some of the doughnuts in exclusive 6-packs delivered fresh to select retailers. But just like the “so cute” Peanuts collection that Krispy Kreme dropped last year, its Looney Tunes designs are only hanging around for a limited time. To find the collection near you, refer to Krispy Kreme’s store locator.

Since the doughnut shop is in the business of treats (and not tricks), this year it’s also giving customers two chances to score a free Original Glazed Doughnut or Classic Ring Doughnut just by showing up. Here’s the deal: Guests who show up to a participating U.S. store in costume on Friday, Oct. 30, and Saturday, Oct. 31, can score a free doughnut, no purchase necessary.

As comedian and podcaster Connor Wood looks ahead to the fourth week of competition on Dancing with the Stars, he’s really hoping for less drama and more fun. Best known to his millions of social media followers by his online handle, Fibula, the 31-year-old is trying to keep things light and entertaining with his pro partner, Rylee Arnold, but it’s not easy.

On Thursday, October 1, Wood admitted in the latest episode of Brooke & Connor Make a Podcast, which he co-hosts with his friend Brooke Averick, that it feels like all the drama surrounding DWTS is getting too heavy.

Wood and Averick recorded their 238th episode the day after Taylor Hanson and pro Britt Stewart were eliminated from season 35, sending shockwaves across the fandom as Stewart, who became a DWTS pro in 2020, was seen crying onstage after the surprising cut. Keyboard warriors were quick to cast blame on social media, and many cast members issued comments about feeling stunned and saddened by the results.

“What did we come to do?” Wood asked on his podcast, marveling to Averick that the October 6 episode of DWTS will mark fourth full week on the show. “We came here to have fun. (But) I think Dancing with the Stars has become so much pressure because there’s so much commentary on it and everyone’s an expert.”

“I’m wearing a pink suit and I have a mullet on,” he quipped about his and Arnold’s Yacht Rock dance on September 29. “This is not life or death. Like, nothing here is serious. Please, be so serious. I got here three weeks ago and I’m learning a foxtrot. Like, this is pure fun. This should be fun to watch on TV.”

Wood continued, “You should be watching with your kindergartner. You should be watching with your grandma. You should be giggling. You should be like, ‘Oh, that’s cute.’ There should be nothing like, ‘No! My hot take is that he should be taken out back and shot!’ There’s no room for that here. It’s fun!”

“We gotta let our hair down and enjoy it, and I’ve had to tell myself that,” he added.

That doesn’t mean Wood doesn’t want to improve and properly learn each dance. He said he’s taking the judges’ critiques to heart, noting that “tuck your butt” is the latest instruction he’s trying to apply. He sighed to Averick, “It’s just always something, you know?”

When Averick shared how upset she was about Hanson and Stewart’s elimination, Wood acknowledged that the situation “sucks,” and added, “I love them both.”

He then asked Averick if she would ever agree to compete on DWTS and she immediately gave it a hard pass. She hilariously told Wood, “I can’t imagine living in that state. I mean, I would die. My body would go into shock. Like, I don’t think the body can function with that much cortisol. Like, I would be puking for weeks and weeks, so sick. I would have diarrhea all over the ballroom floor!”

Dancing with the Stars airs live each Tuesday night on ABC and Disney+. On October 6, the remaining 12 duos will perform to different Mariah Carey hits, hoping for enough points from the judges and votes from viewers to keep them safe again.

Halloween costs are already piling up as families tackle decorations, costumes and parties of all sorts.

You’ll see restaurants and stores at every corner already offering themed to the spooky season, and a popular take-n-bake pizza chain is now offering a “scream of a deal” nationwide.

Papa Murphy’s recently brought back its Large Jack-O pizza for $10, as well as a bundle that includes both the beloved pie and Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough for $15.

Shaped like a jack-o’-lantern, the Jack-O Pizza starts with Papa Murphy’s scratch-made dough and is topped with classic red sauce and whole-milk mozzarella, with pepperoni for its smiling face and black olives for eyes, according to a news release.

The restaurant chain — claiming to be America’s largest take-n-bake when it comes to pizza — recently took to social media to promote its new offerings. “A deal so good, it’s scary 👻🍕​,” reads the caption of its festive Instagram reel. See below.

“The Scream of a Deal makes it easy to have hot pizza and delicious desserts ready for everyone, whether you’re hosting neighborhood kids, heading out to trick-or-treat or getting together before or after the festivities,” Dallas Massey, senior vice president of marketing for Papa Murphy’s,” said in a recent statement.

The Jack-O Pizza and Scream of a Deal arrive during National Pizza Month. Because every Papa Murphy’s pizza is prepared fresh and baked at home, guests can enjoy it hot from the oven at their convenience during this busy time — which seems to be flying by, does it not?

Last week, California Pizza Kitchen revealed it has a “confession”: The popular chain has been ignoring years of fan pleas to bring back pizzas such as Jamaican Jerk Chicken, Shrimp Scampi, and Pear & Gorgonzola.

So, this October, CPK is finally saying sorry — and doing it with 25,000 free “Apology Pizzas.” Fans can just comment “Apology Accepted” on CPK’s Instagram, TikTok or Facebook posts and get a code for a free 7″ pizza (with a $20 online order) sent straight to their DMs. Find out more here.

While we all love the crisp air of fall, the season can also bring unpredictable weather. Rainstorms can roll in without much warning, so having a reliable pair of waterproof boots on hand can make those wet days much easier to handle. Whether you’re heading out for errands or taking the dog for a walk, the right footwear can help keep your feet dry and comfortable.

One especially practical option is the Smilin Wide-Calf Rubber Rain Boots, which are currently on sale for 57% off at Walmart, bringing the price down from $70 to just $30. They are designed for rainy weather while offering extra room around the calf, making them a useful choice if traditional rain boots tend to feel too snug.

The boots are made from premium PVC, a flexible waterproof material that keeps rain and mud from getting inside while still allowing your feet to move naturally. Underneath, a rugged rubber outsole features a deep tread pattern and drainage channels that help provide traction on wet, slippery surfaces. That extra grip is especially useful when you’re walking across muddy yards, wet sidewalks, or slick outdoor paths.

Comfort is another thoughtful part of the design. Each boot has a removable foam insole that provides soft cushioning underfoot and can be taken out if you prefer a different insert. A soft fabric lining adds another layer of comfort, while reflective pull tabs make the boots easier to grab and pull on. The low 1.1-inch heel gives you a little lift without sacrificing the stability you want from a rain boot.

They’re available in sizes 6 through 11 and have a wide-calf design that provides additional room around the lower leg. You can keep things simple with classic black, choose easy-to-style olive green, or make a statement with brighter options like orange, pink, red, and yellow.

These boots are made for more than just rainy commutes, too. They’re useful for gardening, farming, fishing, walking the dog, or tackling other messy outdoor chores where mud and water are unavoidable. When you’re finished, cleanup is simple since dirt and mud can be wiped off the surface in seconds, making them easy to maintain between wears.

With over 100 five-star reviews, shoppers praised the boots’ practicality and comfort. One shopper said they’re “wonderful” and “perfect for walking in the rain,” adding, “I’ve walked up to half a mile in these boots and felt completely comfortable. They are not slippery and keep the feet dry.” Another reviewer said they’re “good quality,” sharing, “I love these boots and have used them many times. They don’t slip, fit perfectly, and protect my feet from any mess from gardening, fishing, or general work.”

• Lcamaw Rubber Ankle Rain Boots, From $26 (was $60) at Walmart
• Dream Pairs Knee-High Boots, $50 (was $70) at Walmart
• Smilin Shell Chelsea Boots, $36 (was $60) at Walmart

For a waterproof pair that’s roomy, comfortable, and easy to wear, the Smilin Wide-Calf Rubber Rain Boots are a practical addition to your fall wardrobe. They’re ready for everything from rainy walks to muddy gardening days, and with Walmart’s current 57% discount, you can save $40 on a pair you’ll be glad to have when the forecast turns wet.

Caddyshack star Michael O’Keefe still sports that goofy smile that catapulted him to fame in the classic golf comedy.

O’Keefe, 71, found fame in the role of caddie Danny Noonan in the iconic 1980 comedic film, which has gone down in history as a classic thanks to supporting roles from Chevy Chase,  Rodney Dangerfield, Ted Knight, and Bill Murray. The movie told the story of Danny’s wild doings as a caddie at the exclusive Bushwood Country Club, where he’s forced to haul clubs for the outlandish members. But in a new interview, O’Keefe opened up about how drugs like cocaine had plenty of room in the film’s budget. It was the ’70s when the movie was filmed, after all.

“There was some miscellaneous item,” O’Keefe told Page Six in a new interview. “It was the 70s… That’s what was happening back then. People were just treating it like it was toothpaste, and you had to do it twice a day to stay healthy.”

Looking back on his time in the film, he can see that drugs didn’t have the best effects on him.

“It was not my favorite memory because in retrospect I can see those moments on camera and I’m not too happy about them,” he shared.

The actor realized his mistakes and found himself ditching the drug when filming was done.

“But I can report to you that right after that movie, during that movie, was the last time I ever did anything like cocaine. I realized that it was a terrible thing to get involved [with], and like so many things in the drug world, it looked like fun, but in reality, it wasn’t,” he said, also noting that the death of Caddyshack writer Doug Kenney was a “huge wake-up call.”

O’Keefe is still a frequent actor, and you’ve likely watched him in one of TV’s most popular shows. He played Jon Hamm‘s dad on Apple TV’s hit series, Your Friends & Neighbors. The star hit the red carpet for the show’s season 2 premiere a few months back, and still sports that goofy smile that catapulted him to stardom as Danny in Caddyshack.

Redecorating doesn’t necessarily have to involve a full overhaul of your home. It can be as simple as making a small yet impactful swap in one room’s decor. With its “lovely” look and “lightweight” material, shoppers said this comforter set will instantly elevate any bedroom. Luckily for shoppers, it’s also 60% off now at Macy’s right now. 

The Sunham Coastal Coral 8-Piece Comforter Set is reduced to $40 in all sizes right now for a limited time. The comforter set comes in twin, twin XL, full, queen, king, and California king sizes. The larger collections come with a comforter, two standard shams, two standard pillowcases, a bedskirt, and a fitted and flat sheet. Meanwhile, the twin and twin XL sizes come with one less sham and one less pillowcase for a total of six pieces.

This coastal bedding provides the ultimate “beach vibes.” It’s like waking up on vacation every day. The best part is that it’s reversible, so you essentially get two sets for the price of one. This machine-washable set is made from 100% polyester, with polyester filling as well, making it extremely comfortable.

The full set comes with a 76-inch by 86-inch comforter, two shams, and two pillowcases. It also comes with a bedskirt that’s 54 inches wide, 75 inches long, and 14 inches deep, a fitted sheet that’s 54 inches wide, 75 inches long, and 12.3 inches deep, and a flat sheet that’s 81 inches by 96 inches. 

The dimensions increase for the queen and king sets, with the queen set boasting an 88-inch by 88-inch comforter and the king set completed by a 106-inch by 88-inch version. 

Whichever size you choose, the set is “pretty” and cozy, but not so heavy that it’ll cause you to overheat, according to shoppers. “The sheets were so soft and cool,” which is “perfect for someone who has hot flashes,” one shopper said. 

“It brightens a room and gives it a coastal vibe,” another shopper said. “The design is beautiful and adds a fresh, seasonal touch to my bedroom,” another shopper said.

Hollywood icon Olivia Colman gave Paris Fashion Week one of its most charming surprises on Sunday, October 4, making her runway debut while embracing her natural gray hair, swept back in a low ponytail.

The Oscar winner, 52, joined Miu Miu’s spring/summer 2027 show at Paris Fashion Week. Her silver hair, which recently made headlines after she debuted a dramatically longer style, was pulled into a low ponytail for the show.

She wore an oversized deep blue V-neck sweater underneath and finished the ensemble with a belt and brown leather shoes.

The Broadchurch actress joined an unusually starry Miu Miu lineup rather than walking alongside traditional models alone.

Fans on X quickly reacted to the surprise runway moment. “Olivia Colman on a Miu Miu runway is the least expected plot twist fashion could’ve cast,” one fan wrote.

“Olivia Colman walking Miu Miu was not on my bingo card”, another added.

A third fan added, “She’s just a legend.”

“Omg?!? no… stop. olivia colman walking for miu miu..?! screaming,” one more wrote.

Colman shared the show with several familiar faces, including her Pride & Prejudice co-star Emma Corrin.

According to The Independent, the lineup also included Jamie Bell, Louisa Jacobson—Meryl Streep‘s daughter —and Ella Bleu Travolta—John Travolta‘s daughter.

The runway moment came shortly after Colman appeared at the Zurich Film Festival with flowing gray curls while promoting her upcoming movie Wicker.

The dramatic hairstyle was a noticeable departure from the short, dark pixie cut she has worn through much of her career. Her recent appearances have instead put her silver color front and center.

Colman has long been candid about the different standards women face as they grow older. Speaking to The Guardian in 2013, she pointed to the way actresses’ ages are often emphasized in coverage while the same scrutiny is not applied to male actors.

“It’s still the case that in the papers it says, ‘Actress, 59’, whereas a 59-year-old actor will be thought of as handsome, his age an irrelevance,” she said.

Still, Colman said she believed opportunities for older women were beginning to improve, adding that audiences “want to see more people like themselves when the kids go to bed.”

For an actress with an Oscar and a shelf of other awards, a first runway walk for Miu Miu is a new kind of moment.

Less than a year after Stranger Things ended on New Year’s Eve, the people who made it have scattered to other studios and Netflix’s chief content executive has now explained why.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ted Sarandos addressed the departures of creators Matt and Ross Duffer, who moved to Paramount, and executive producer and director Shawn Levy, who signed with Disney’s 20th Television. Sarandos said the brothers “did not want to make more TV shows right now” after a decade with the company and wanted to make large theatrical films instead.

He described encouraging them to go, saying he did not want them to reach 60 wishing they had tried it two decades earlier. He added that he expects them to have great success.

The Duffers have given a matching account. Their four-year exclusive deal with Paramount was announced in August 2025 and took effect after their Netflix contract expired this April. “The biggest draw to us was just to be able to do something theatrical,” Matt Duffer told Variety last year, noting that Netflix does not offer that.

Related: Stranger Things Is About to Break a Netflix Rule

For fans, the more important part of the interview concerned what stays. Sarandos pointed out that Netflix still owns Stranger Things and said the universe will remain part of the company’s success permanently, leaving room for more stories. The Duffers have said they will stay involved in the franchise after their move. An animated series, Stranger Things: Tales From ’85, and a live-action spinoff have both been part of those plans.

Levy’s exit went in a different direction. He helped bring the Duffers’ script to Netflix through his company 21 Laps and directed episodes in all five seasons. He is now finishing Star Wars: Starfighter, the Ryan Gosling film due May 28, 2027, and Sarandos suggested that will not be his last trip to that galaxy. “Shawn is going to be making Star Wars movies for a while,” he said. Lucasfilm has not announced any further Levy films, so the remark stands as Sarandos’ expectation, not a confirmed slate.

Sarandos said the relationship with Levy continues as well and that the two sides expect to keep working together. Netflix still has projects in development with him, including a hockey drama titled Sticks.

Stranger Things premiered in 2016 and became one of the defining series of the streaming era, turning its young cast into stars and its 1980s setting into a shared reference point across generations. All five seasons remain on Netflix. Its creators are working elsewhere now, and the company that owns the series has signaled that more stories set in that world remain possible.

In 1971, some of the biggest names in music were turning out songs that would follow listeners for the next five decades.

Carole King released Tapestry. The Rolling Stones gave the world “Brown Sugar.” Three Dog Night had the year’s biggest Billboard Hot 100 hit with “Joy to the World.” And artists including John Denver, Janis Joplin and Rod Stewart recorded songs that remain instantly recognizable 55 years later.

In fact, all three of the songs below finished among Billboard’s 11 biggest hits of 1971. Whether you first heard them coming through the radio, spinning on a turntable or years later from your parents’ record collection, there’s a good chance you don’t need a lyric sheet to sing along.

Here are three songs from 1971 that every ’70s kid still knows by heart.

“Almost heaven…”

With those two words, millions of listeners already know exactly what comes next.

John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” became his breakout hit in 1971, reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and finishing as the year’s No. 8 song.

Denver co-wrote the song with Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert, who actually found inspiration for it while driving through rural Maryland rather than West Virginia. According to the Library of Congress, Denver heard the song when Danoff and Nivert shared it with him after a New York City gig in December 1970. Denver helped finish it, then recorded it for his 1971 album Poems, Prayers & Promises.

More than half a century later, those country roads haven’t gone anywhere. The Library of Congress added the recording to the National Recording Registry in 2023, recognizing a song that long ago grew beyond its original pop hit status to become one of America’s great communal singalongs.

Kris Kristofferson wrote “Me and Bobby McGee” when he was working as a helicopter pilot in the Gulf of Mexico, but Janis Joplin made it unmistakably her own.

Her version appeared on Pearl, the album released in January 1971, three months after Joplin died at just 27 years old. The single reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 on March 20 and stayed there for two weeks, becoming Joplin’s only No. 1 hit.

The recording begins almost gently before Joplin gradually unleashes the unmistakable rasp and power that made her one of rock’s most singular voices. And then there’s the line at the center of it all about freedom and having nothing left to lose, which became one of the most recognizable lyrics of the era.

Billboard ultimately ranked “Me and Bobby McGee” as the No. 11 song of 1971. Decades later, the Recording Academy inducted Joplin’s version into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

The timing couldn’t be better for revisiting this one.

On Oct. 2, 1971, Rod Stewart reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with “Maggie May,” meaning the song just celebrated the 55th anniversary of that milestone.

Remarkably, “Maggie May” wasn’t initially intended to be the main attraction. It was released as the B-side to “Reason to Believe,” but radio DJs began favoring “Maggie May,” and listeners followed.

The song ultimately became Stewart’s first No. 1 hit in the United States and spent five weeks atop the Hot 100. Billboard ranked the “Maggie May”/”Reason to Believe” single as the No. 2 hit of all of 1971, behind only Three Dog Night’s “Joy to the World.”

Fifty-five years later, that opening mandolin is still enough to transport listeners straight back to 1971. And if you were a ’70s kid, chances are good you already know exactly what Stewart is going to say when September comes around again.

Linda Evangelista, the iconic Canadian supermodel, made a significant real estate investment by turning her $1.4 million Chelsea penthouse into a successful real estate investment, selling the New York City property for $6.75 million 25 years after acquiring it in 2001.

One of the most sought-after supermodels of the late 1980s and 1990s, she once said, “We don’t wake up for less than $10,000 a day.”

Decades later, she secured a multimillion-dollar return on her Chelsea property.

The Vogue cover girl’s former home featured a 4,022-square-foot interior, with the unit featuring four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, an open floor plan, a large living room with a fireplace and an industrial design featuring concrete floors, exposed brick and 13-foot ceilings dotted with skylights.

Evangelista’s longtime NYC property also featured a 2,500-square-foot private roof terrace that sits atop the historic six-story red brick structure of the Spears Building, tucked between the Hudson River and the High Line.

Built in the late 1880s by the Kinney Brothers, it was initially used as a commercial manufacturing and industrial warehouse, which explains its distinctive loft-style character.

These luxurious features made her Chelsea penthouse a standout property in the supermodel’s real estate portfolio.

In 2024, the runway icon initially listed the sprawling Manhattan pad for $9.45 million, but after two price cuts, the asking price was reduced first to $8.19 million and then to $7.99 million, according to Gimme via the New York Post.

At one point, Hollywood star and fellow Canadian Keanu Reeves rented Evangelista’s penthouse amid his participation in the high-profile revival of Samuel Beckett’s tragicomedy Waiting for Godot at the Hudson Theatre.

The John Wick star leased the property for around $45,000 a month for a brief period from late 2025 into early 2026.

Later that year, Evangelista ultimately sold the Chelsea penthouse for $6.75 million at the end of September, with the listing held by Steve Gold of the Corcoran Group, per Robb Report.

The $6.75 million sale represented a substantial increase over the $1.4 million that Evangelista paid for the property 25 years earlier.

As for the supermodel, she didn’t move far from the West Chelsea neighborhood. Instead, she relocated to the Far West Side of Midtown Manhattan, where she purchased a three-bedroom corner unit at 35 Hudson Yards for a whopping $5.24 million.

If you’ve ever found yourself torn between booking an unhurried, all-inclusive beach retreat or hopping on a cruise ship to wake up in a new port every morning, you might not have to choose much longer. Two of the biggest powerhouses in tropical travel are officially joining forces.

Royal Caribbean Group announced that it’s acquiring a 50% equity stake in Sandals Resorts and its family-focused sister brand, Beaches Resorts, in a monumental $3 billion joint venture.

For travelers, this is far bigger than corporate boardrooms. Royal Caribbean hasn’t just built cruise ships; it’s spent decades perfecting the ultimate family vacation, revolutionizing life at sea with game-changing Oasis- and Icon-class megaships that go head-to-head with land-based all-inclusives. Add in record-breaking private destinations like Perfect Day at CocoCay, and the cruise line has already redefined what a tropical trip can be.

Now, tying that floating playground energy to the barefoot luxury, romantic swim-up suites, and pristine beachfronts of Sandals and Beaches feels like the missing puzzle piece for Caribbean vacationers.

Across Cruise Critic message boards, the news instantly ignited a lively debate about what this partnership will deliver for vacationers on the ground. Cruise Critic member blt23 pointed out how naturally the two vacation styles complement each other:

“I think this mainly has to be about the customer overlap between cruises and all-inclusives and thus being a good opportunity for loyalty program growth and cross-selling as RCG tries to build more of a complete vacation ecosystem. There might be a little upside in selling resort day passes as cruise excursions, but it’s going to be limited because the resorts are generally not located near high volume cruise ports, are adults only, and don’t have space for tons of extra visitors. Sandals does operate two family-friendly resorts under their ‘Beaches’ brand and has announced plans for a few more, but those all look kind of stalled at the moment. RCG being able bring more access to capital, positive branding, and design experience in attracting families could help get those projects moving as a strong opportunity for future growth. And obviously in the longer term this deal would mean being able to include hotel/resort components in future private cruise destination developments, should Royal wish to do so.”

For cruisers who struggle to find relaxing, high-end excursions on port days, the thought of accessing a Sandals property is especially tantalizing. Cruise Critic member Mauidiver wondered:

“It would be interesting to see if excursions to Sandals resorts would be offered when ships would be in port at an island where there’s a resort. And if so, if it would extend to all RCI owned ships (RCCL, Celebrity, and Silversea).”

Other frequent travelers view the tie-up as a smart response to cruise ship crowding and port limitations. As Cruise Critic member Jeremiah1212 observed:

“I think this is more portfolio diversification above all else. RCG has introduced a massive amount of new capacity since 2020. Perhaps it’s time to slow that super aggressive capacity increase but still grow the company. There are only so many places the monster Oasis and Icon ships can go. They need private destinations to accommodate those ships. They also need the revenue gained from keeping everyone in a semi-closed ecosystem.”

For now, both brands note that existing reservations, operations, and loyalty programs will continue as normal. But as the deal finalizes in early 2027, the door is officially open for blended land-and-sea itineraries, shared loyalty status perks, and resort day passes that could make your next Caribbean escape feel remarkably seamless.

WARNING! The following article contains spoilers for the Marshals Season 2 premiere, “All Hat No Cattle.”

Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) may have left Yellowstone behind, but Marshals proved during its first season that trouble has a way of following a Dutton. What began with Kayce adjusting to life as a U.S. Marshal grew into a season-long conspiracy involving Thomas Rainwater (Gil Birmingham), East Camp and a controversial mine.

By the Season 1 finale, that conspiracy had put Kayce’s team in the line of fire and his son Tate (Brecken Merrill) in the hands of the people responsible. After mercenaries attacked Rainwater at East Camp, Kayce, Mo (Mo Brings Plenty) and the marshals fought them off, with Tate killing one attacker to save Rainwater. Evidence initially pointed toward a reservation councilmember, but his apparent suicide was exposed as murder.

Cal (Logan Marshall-Green) and Belle (Arielle Kebbel) then discovered an East Camp ranch hand dead just as Tom Weaver’s (Chris Mulkey) foreman, Jeb (Kevin McNamara), arrived. Jeb left behind two gunmen who opened fire, leaving the marshals’ fates unknown.

Even worse, Tate had gone on a fishing trip with Weaver. Jeb privately assured Weaver everything had been “handled,” confirming the seemingly friendly rancher’s connection to the conspiracy. Kayce had no idea his son was heading directly into danger.

Keep reading for our spoiler-filled recap of the Marshals Season 2 premiere.

The first episode of Season 2 quickly resolves the finale’s cliffhangers. Belle and Cal survive with minor injuries and recover burner phones and a photo of Jeb from their attackers.

Back at East Camp, an attorney arrives with an increased offer from Weaver to buy the ranch. Kayce refuses, only to be ambushed by two men who reveal they’re holding Tate. Kayce kills the gunmen and stabs the lawyer. Dolly (Ellyn Jameson) convinces a suspicious Kayce she wasn’t involved by revealing Tate is being held at a fortified ranch in Wyoming.

Kayce agrees to sell East Camp in exchange for Tate and prepares to handle the situation himself. Andrea (Ash Santos), who has stopped by before leaving for Washington, realizes something is wrong. Meanwhile, Miles (Tatanka Means) discovers Jeb works for Weaver and that the mine Rainwater opposed has been relocated to Weaver’s property. The marshals realize Kayce is in danger and head to Wyoming.

Kayce and Dolly meet Weaver, Jeb and Tate, where Kayce signs over East Camp. Weaver then reveals his real plan: drown Tate, make his death look accidental and kill Kayce. Dolly pulls out a gun Kayce secretly gave her and points it at her father but ultimately can’t turn against him. What she doesn’t know is that the gun is unloaded. Kayce escapes as Weaver’s men attack, just as the marshals arrive.

Jeb takes off with Tate, who escapes but is caught and nearly drowned before Kayce arrives and kills Jeb. Weaver and Dolly flee but crash their Jeep. Weaver survives. Dolly doesn’t. When Weaver asks Kayce to kill him, he refuses, telling him, “Living with Dolly’s death is the punishment you deserve.”

Back at headquarters, Andrea reveals Dolly knew nothing about her father’s crimes and that one of Weaver’s ranch hands started the East Camp barn fire that led to Garrett’s (Riley Green) death. Rather than return to Washington, Andrea stays with the team, explaining she’s never had teammates who fight for one another like these marshals do.

At one point in the premiere, Tate reminds Kayce that he’s almost 18. That might surprise longtime Yellowstone viewers who remember him as the little kid running around the ranch. Even more surprising is that he’s still relatively normal. Consider the résumé: He’s been kidnapped by a white supremacist militia, survived gunmen attacking his home, watched his mother get shot, killed a man to protect her and lost multiple family members. Marshals has added another armed attack, killing a man to save Rainwater, another kidnapping and nearly drowning. Even by Dutton standards, that’s a lot of childhood trauma.

Yet Tate has emerged as a fairly well-adjusted teenager who can joke with his dad while reminding Kayce he’s not a little kid anymore. His approaching adulthood could also change their relationship. Kayce has spent most of Tate’s life trying to protect him, with decidedly mixed results. An almost-adult Tate can start making his own choices, and given the Dutton family history, that may not make Kayce’s life any easier.

Cal and Belle crossed the line from coworkers to something more when they kissed in Season 1, Episode 7, and the premiere makes it clear those feelings haven’t disappeared. Belle insists she’s going with Cal to his oncology appointment in Salt Lake City, and the episode ends with Cal carefully tending to her injuries. There’s an intimacy to the scene suggesting their Season 1 kiss wasn’t something they’re going to pretend never happened.

A relationship would be considerably more complicated. Cal is dealing with cancer, while Belle’s marriage was already falling apart after she revealed her gambling debt. There’s also the small matter of Cal being Belle’s boss on a team that depends on one another to stay alive. If their relationship develops, keeping their personal and professional lives separate could become increasingly difficult.

Kayce saves Tate and helps bring down Weaver’s operation, but the deaths of Dolly and Garrett continue a familiar Yellowstone pattern: Being close to a Dutton can be hazardous to your health. The Duttons have endured plenty, but many people caught up in their battles haven’t been nearly as lucky. Kayce has now watched two people important to him die because of fights neither started.

Nobody knows that better than Monica (Kelsey Asbille), whose relationship with Kayce repeatedly put her in the crossfire. She was attacked in her home, suffered a brain injury and lost her unborn son in a car accident while racing to meet Kayce at the hospital. Others pulled into the Dutton orbit, from John’s oldest son Lee (Dave Annable) to journalist Sarah Nguyen (Michaela Conlin), also wound up dead. Kayce may have left the Yellowstone behind, but Marshals is making a convincing case that the Dutton curse packed its bags and followed him.

Once fall rolls in, all those patio cushions and summer extras need somewhere to go. Fortunately, the Keter Darwin 150-Gallon Resin Outdoor Storage Box can keep everything contained without taking over the garage or basement. Wayfair currently has the gray deck box for $179, down from $300, which is a whopping 40% off. 

It offers plenty of space inside, with a 150-gallon capacity and exterior measurements of 56.2 inches wide, 25.7 inches deep, and 30.7 inches high. The resin material resists weather, UV exposure, rust, mold, mildew, water, and leaks, while the elevated floor keeps everything stored inside off the ground. It also has hydraulic pistons that make the lid easier to lift, and the top can support up to 660 pounds. It’s lockable, too, so you can add a padlock for extra security.

This versatile storage box can save a lot of back-and-forth for anyone tired of hauling patio cushions inside whenever rain is in the forecast. The roomy interior can also corral pool floats, kids’ outdoor toys, gardening supplies, or furniture covers that might otherwise end up scattered around the yard. And since the top doubles as a bench, it does more than just hide clutter, which can be especially helpful when patio space is limited.

It’s “easy to put together and holds everything we need,” one shopper wrote, while another reviewer said, “It’s extremely spacious and fits all cushions from a sectional, loveseat, and two chairs.” A third person called the boxes “very sturdy” and added, “They’re huge inside. They hold all of my garden furniture cushions and covers.” Another shopper also liked that it looks nicer than many resin deck boxes, saying, “It feels very sturdy.”

Fall is also a particularly great time to get ahead of outdoor cleanup before colder weather arrives. Keeping cushions, furniture covers, and gardening supplies protected outside can free up space indoors and save you from lugging everything back and forth throughout the season. And since the box is weather-resistant and elevated off the ground, you can leave those bulkier items close by until you need them again.

Big-name brands have been known to throw punches at each other through clever new ad campaigns. Sometimes the effect is cringe; other times it’s straight-up genius.

Back in the 2010s, Samsung once poked fun at Apple Stores’ long lines, where iPhone users waited helplessly outside with hopes of getting their hands on the new model — while Samsung Galaxy users strolled by using their cool mobiles and making the Apple folks jealous.

Then there’s the world of fast food, where Carl’s Jr. recently changed how it cooks every burger as part of its all-new “Burger Revolution.”

The popular chain’s cooked-to-order initiative is “designed to deliver hotter, fresher and more consistently craveable burgers,” according to a news release. Rather than relying on traditional holding systems that can compromise temperature and flavor, Carl’s Jr. begins cooking burgers after a guest places an order and are served hot and fresh from the charbroiler.

Sure, this notion sounds like a no-brainer, but in the fast-food realm, knowing that another chain is now making the pledge is always a bit reassuring.

As part of its “revolution,” Carl’s Jr. recently called on customers to “hand over their crowns” as part of a limited-time promotion, whose messaging clearly took aim at Burger King (ouch).

Last month, Carl’s Jr.’s My Rewards loyalty members were able to submit a picture of a crown or a receipt from a disappointing competition burger via Instagram, and be rewarded with a promo code for a complimentary Angus Maximus.

For those not familiar, the menu option features two charbroiled, 100% Angus beef patties, melted American cheese, sliced onions, dill pickles and special sauce, all served on a buttery toasted brioche bun.

And when fast-food connoisseurs think “burger,” their minds might also veer to the Golden Arches. Carl’s Jr. hasn’t shied away from knocking the McDonald’s brand while promoting its cooked-to-order revolution. “Wonder what the clown thinks about this,” reads the caption of its recent Instagram post, for example. See below.

Small details can do some serious heavy lifting when it comes to setting the table. A pretty napkin, textured glass, interesting flatware or even a subtle border around your dinner plate can completely change the mood of a tablescape. Sometimes, all it takes is one little decorative detail to make an everyday meal feel like an occasion.

That’s exactly why I’m eyeing these Classic Coupe Dinner Plates from Target’s Threshold line. The 10.5-inch stoneware plates have a simple off-white finish and a delicate gold-tone rim that adds just enough polish without making them feel overly formal. At $8 each, you can grab a few to make an entire place setting or just buy one or two to enjoy.

I especially like that the design walks the line between every day and dressed up. I could see these plates looking just as good beneath a casual pasta dinner as they would alongside a holiday roast, pretty salad or dinner party-worthy dessert. The gold edging also gives you an easy color cue for the rest of the table—think gold flatware, cream linens, amber glassware or natural wood accents for something a little more relaxed.

And if you’re the type of person who likes a coordinated table, Target has a few matching pieces in the same Classic Coupe gold rim look. Here are the other options:

• A Classic Coupe Dinner Bowl, also $8.
• A Classic Coupe Appetizer Plate for $4.
• A Classic Coupe Serving Platter for $20 to complete the set.

Shoppers seem to appreciate the sophisticated look, too. “This plate is so classy and stylish!” said one reviewer, also stating “I love the quality and the look of it. It is modern and elegant. The plate feels heavy and like it will last a long time. The matte finish is modern and updated.”

For me, that’s why I love them so much. These aren’t screaming for attention; they’re simply giving the table a subtle little glow-up. Add a gold-rimmed plate to an otherwise simple place setting, and suddenly even takeout night can look elevated.

Beyond the Gates continues to celebrate homecoming this Monday, and
Ernestine Johnson Morrison has taken to social media to share a behind-the-scenes look and tease what’s to come for her character, nurse Shanice Johnson.

Morrison posted a photo of herself in Banneker University regalia in the living room of Vernon (Clifton Davis) and Anita (Tamra Tunie)’s. The actress captioned the post, “BU!!! [Banneker University] S/O [Shout Out] to our amazing writers and crew for paying homage to HBCU’s! 💪🏽”

The actress went on to share, “Shanice made her way to The Dupree Living Room again, and the folks have something to say about it 😏.”

Shanice is currently in a relationship with Ted Richardson (Keith D. Robinson), who is the estranged ex-husband of Nicole Dupree (Daphnée Duplaix). While Shanice and Nicole have discussed their relationship with Ted, there remains tension amongst the trio as feelings become involved.

Spoilers teased by TVInsider’s SWOON revealed that Ted and Shanice will plan their next steps as a couple. What exactly this means has yet to be revealed; could the pair be moving in together? Or are wedding bells in their near future? Viewers will have to stay tuned to see how their relationship plays out.

Choosing security cameras often comes down to a deceptively simple question: How much of the property can one camera actually see? A PTZ camera can pan, tilt and zoom toward activity, while a wide-angle or panoramic camera continuously records a broad fixed view.

For homeowners, the difference is less about which technology is universally better and more about whether you need detailed tracking or continuous coverage.

ADT’s own camera guidance emphasizes placement as part of the equation. Its Video Analytics Best Practices Guide says an ADT technician positions Pro cameras for “maximum coverage” and recommends keeping targets within the camera’s field of view.

Need help deciding where cameras should go? ADT offers professional security consultations and can evaluate your property’s layout before recommending coverage. Best of all? The consultation and quote are free!

A PTZ camera is better suited to monitoring large areas where zoomed-in views and active tracking are useful. A wide-angle or panoramic camera is better for continuously recording a broad area without mechanically moving away from one section. For many homes, the choice depends on whether detail or uninterrupted coverage is the higher priority.

PTZ stands for pan, tilt and zoom. These cameras use motors to move horizontally and vertically while adjusting the lens for a closer view.

Many PTZ models can pan through 360 degrees, although specifications vary by model. ADT has also offered pan/tilt cameras, including its Command Pan/Tilt Wireless Camera (ADC-V620PT), which illustrates the basic PTZ approach of remotely adjusting a camera’s viewing direction.

The major advantage is flexibility. A PTZ camera can monitor a driveway, rotate toward a backyard and zoom in on activity farther away. Preset positions can also automate the process. PTZ cameras can patrol a sequence of saved viewpoints rather than remaining pointed in one direction.

That flexibility comes with a limitation: the camera is still looking in one direction at a time. When it turns to follow a person or vehicle, another part of the property temporarily leaves the camera’s view.

A wide-angle security camera uses a lens or multiple fixed sensors to capture a broad area without physically moving the camera. Some panoramic systems provide 180-degree coverage, while other models provide 360-degree views.

For example, ADT’s doorbell camera has a 180-degree field of view, giving homeowners a broad view of the area in front of the camera.

The biggest advantage is continuity. If someone walks from one side of the frame to the other, the camera does not need to rotate to follow them. The entire covered area remains visible in the recording.

ADT also explains the basic importance of field of view: “A large FOV can give you a larger picture of the surrounding area.”

PTZ cameras make sense when distance and detail are major concerns.

Consider a large suburban property with a long driveway. A fixed wide-angle camera might show the driveway entrance and surrounding yard, but distant objects could occupy only a small portion of the image. A PTZ camera with optical zoom can move toward that area and provide a closer view.

PTZ cameras are also useful when one camera needs to cover several designated areas. Presets can position the camera at specific locations, while patrol functions move between them automatically.

Auto-tracking adds another capability: When supported, the camera can follow a detected person or vehicle instead of requiring someone to manually operate it.

The tradeoff is coverage continuity. If the camera is following activity in the driveway, it may no longer be pointed toward the side yard.

If you’re worried that your current camera placement leaves blind spots, an ADT professional can assess the property and discuss coverage options during a free quote and inspection.

Wide-angle cameras are useful when the priority is seeing an entire area continuously.

A front entry, patio, backyard or broad side yard can benefit from a fixed panoramic view. There is no need for the camera to rotate between presets, and an event occurring at the edge of the scene remains visible while another event occurs elsewhere in the frame.

This approach is useful when maintaining situational awareness is more important than obtaining a close-up view of a distant subject.

Start with the area you need to monitor rather than the camera’s feature list.

Choose PTZ when:

• You need to monitor a large area from one mounting point.
• Distant activity needs optical zoom.
• Automatic tracking is a priority.
• You want multiple preset viewing positions.

Choose wide-angle when:

• You need continuous coverage of a broad area.
• You want activity to remain visible across the entire frame.
• The camera will monitor a defined area such as a porch, patio or yard.
• You want to avoid mechanical movement during surveillance.

There is also a third option: use both technologies together. A fixed panoramic camera can provide continuous awareness, while a PTZ camera handles closer views of activity. Some commercial surveillance systems are specifically designed around this combination, using a fixed panoramic view to detect activity and a PTZ camera to zoom and track it.

For homeowners, camera placement still comes first. ADT recommends positioning its Pro cameras 8–16 feet above ground, angling them downward 30–60 degrees and keeping monitored targets within 25 feet, or 15 feet at night, for its video analytics system.

There are few things that can bring people together quite like music. From a favorite song to a meaningful lyric, a great song can feel personal and universal all at once. A new ranking names the 20 most misheard song lyrics, highlighting those songs we sing out loud only to discover later that we’ve been belting out the wrong words all along.

Judging by the number of familiar pop and rock tunes on the list, from Stevie Nicks‘ “Edge of Seventeen” to ABBA’s “Dancing Queen,” knowing and loving a song doesn’t necessarily mean getting the lyrics right.

A classic! Requested by @deartrekkiemonster #friends #friendstvshow #phoebebuffay #rachelgreen #rossgeller

At the top of the list is Elton John’s “Tiny Dancer,” which became part of one of the most memorable misheard-lyric moments on the NBC sitcom Friends. An episode of the comedy not only featured a reference to the song but also a hilarious misunderstanding of its lyrics. It turns out that getting a favorite song wrong can be almost as much fun as singing it.

In Season 3, Episode 1 of Friends, titled “The One with the Princess Leia Fantasy,” the gang discusses its picks for the most romantic songs. Rachel (Jennifer Aniston) asks Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow) to name hers. Phoebe responds, “That one Elton John wrote for the guy on ‘Who’s the Boss?'”

Confused, Ross and Rachel ask Phoebe to clarify, so she sings the song’s lyrics: “Hold me close, young Tony Danza.”

The line gets a big laugh, likely from viewers who have also mistaken the famous lyric for the name of the sitcom star.

Developing your own music taste is a rite of passage for teens and tweens, but that process can also come with lyrics you might not fully understand. Other songs on the list point to generations of music lovers who have been singing the wrong words for years.

Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Bad Moon Rising” has an ominous, apocalyptic feel, but its famous line, “There’s a bad moon on the rise,” is often mistaken for “There’s a bathroom on the right.”

The Police’s 1978 hit “So Lonely” repeats the phrase “So lonely,” but some hungry listeners think Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers are singing the lyric “Salami.”

And some Bon Jovi fans hear a very different meaning in the band’s 1986 classic “Livin’ on a Prayer.” The line “It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not” is sometimes misheard as “It doesn’t make a difference if we’re naked or not.”

The FUNNIEST Misheard Song Lyrics

Whether you’re a budding soprano or a stealth shower singer, you’ve likely mistaken a lyric or two from some of rock’s biggest hits. This latest ranking of the 20 most misheard lyrics is a reminder that even the most devoted music fans can get the words hilariously wrong. And now we’re curious: Which song have you been singing incorrectly for years without even realizing it?

The music world is mourning the loss of Canadian singer Sass Jordan, who died of undisclosed causes on Oct. 2 at the age of 65.

The British-born Jordan was an award-winning performer in her own right who was named the Most Promising Female Vocalist of the Year at the Juno Awards, the Canadian version of the Grammys. She was also nominated for Best Female Vocalist at the Junos in 1990, 1993 and 1995 and was named Top Female Rock Artist of the Year in 1992 by Billboard magazine.

Later, from 2003 through 2008, she served as a judge on the television singing competition Canadian Idol, but long before that, she helped an aspiring musician to his first step toward rock stardom.

Taylor Hawkins rose to international stardom as a member of the Foo Fighters, but it was Jordan who gave him his first big break, when she hired him to be the drummer in her touring band in 1994 when he was just 22.

More than a decade later, on July 9, 2015, the Foo Fighters welcomed Jordan onstage to give thanks to the singer for launching Hawkins’ career during a gig at the Molson Amphitheatre in Toronto.

In video posted on YouTube, Hawkins recounts the story about how he landed the gig in Jordan’s band.

“ Back in 1994, I was working at this music store, and I met this guy, and he said, ‘Hey, you know, you’re working at a music store. Is that what you wanna do with your life?’ And I said, ‘No, I wanna be in a big, rad rock band.’ So he said, ‘Well, I know this cool, cool chick, and she is going on tour. She’s going to Europe to open up for Aerosmith, and she’s Canadian.’ She said, ‘My name is is Sass Jordan.’ … Does anybody know who that is here? I think you do. OK, well, this woman took some dipshit like me, 22-year-old who didn’t know shit, a greenhorn, on the road, taught me how to be in a rock and roll band, gave me my first rock and roll check. Not chick, check. And tonight I get to play with her again. I haven’t played with her in a long time. Can you guys say hello to Sass Jordan?”

After Hawkins’ introduction, Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, who was suffering from a broken leg at the time, took over.  ”Let me tell you, all roads lead to the Foo Fighters. So if it weren’t for Sass Jordan, Taylor Hawkins wouldn’t be in the Foo Fighters right now!”

Following the enthusiastic introduction, Jordan joined the Foos for a rollicking version of the Faces’ classic “Stay With Me.”

Before joining the Foo Fighters, Hawkins also toured with Alanis Morissette from 1995 through 1997.

Sadly, Hawkins run with the Foo Fighters was cut short when he died on March 25, 2022, at the age of 50 while he was on tour with the band in Bogota, Columbia. Although his official cause of death has yet to be made public, Hawkins had 10 different drugs in his system at the time of his death, according to a preliminary urine toxicology test and also had an enlarged heart, which likely contributed to his death.
