More than half a century after its release, The Battle of Algiers continues to resonate with modern audiences, making it among the “best movies of all time.”

Directed by Italian filmmaker Gillo Pontecorvo, he delivered a different kind of political, war-drama through a documentary style of storytelling.

Set during the Algerian War of Independence, it highlights the brutal struggle of Algerians under the French colonial ruling.

The film depicts the urban guerrilla warfare, exploring themes of terrorism, insurgency, torture, decolonization, and the devastating consequences of war experienced by the military and civilians.

Apart from its intriguing plot, the cast lineup also brought a unique ensemble as it featured a mix of professional actors and non-professionals. This is the director’s way to maintain an authentic kind of storytelling.

This includes Brahim Hadjadj as the protagonist Ali La Pointe. He is an illiterate farmer and a petty criminal who turned into a revolutionary leader.

Joining him as the lead star was Jean Martin, who was the only professional actor in the movie. He took on the character of Colonel Philippe Mathieu who works in the French Army and had served the military commander of Algiers during the Algerian War.

In addition, Saadi Yacef, who played El-Hadi Jaffar, was a real-life leader of the FLN.

Despite the movie’s controversial subject, The Battle of Algiers had its successful world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in 1966.

The film took home the Golden Lion award, widely regarded as one of the prestigious and distinguished prizes in the  industry.

The Pontecorvo-directed movie was able to secure more recognitions including the FIPRESCI Prize or the “critics picks” awarded by the International Federation of Film Critics.

Moreover, The Battle of Algiers also took home a special city-sponsored prize called the Award of the City of Venice.

From its back-to-back recognitions, the political drama film made it to the top 10 of Rotten Tomatoes list of 300 best movies of all time.

According to the post, The Battle of Algiers passed the multiple criteria which includes the number of movie recommendations from critics as well as the number of Popcornmeter votes or the percentage of fans who rated the movie positively.

Based on the rankings, the film secured the ninth spot, with 99 percent on Tomatometer or the positive reviews from critics.

While some described it as a “work of art” fans called it anything from “passable” to one of the “greatest international films,” praising its distinctive documentary-style filmmaking.

There’s something about a warm, gooey cinnamon roll that always hits the spot. And when you take that magic and turn it into a bite-sized version, it might just be a little too good.

Whether you’re looking for something sweet in the morning, a treat in the afternoon, or an excuse to host brunch, this little bakery gem spotted at Costco is worth a closer look.

Check it out in this April 21 TikTok from @discovering_costco:

Small rolls, big temptation 👀 These mini cinnamon rolls at Costco look soft, gooey, and dangerously snackable—perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet treat 🛒🤍 #costcofinds #cinnamonrolls #tasty #bakedgoods #costcofood

♬ Sunlight in My Cup - aleximusic

Costco is now carrying El Camino Real Bakery Petite Cinnamon Rolls, a 30-ounce container filled with bite-sized versions of the classic treat, priced at $10.99.

Each piece delivers the same soft dough, sweet cinnamon swirl, and sticky glaze as the full-size classic, but in a perfectly poppable format.

They’re a great addition to a spring brunch, a Mother’s Day gathering, an office party, or end-of-year school celebrations. Even better, with these cinnamon rolls, you don’t have to manage sticky frosting, bring along serving utensils, or worry about how they’ll travel in the car. You can just set them out straight from the container and watch them disappear.

The petite size might make them a little too easy to reach for, but they can be portioned out and enjoyed in moderation at any time of day. That traditional cinnamon flavor pairs naturally with coffee or tea, or can be warmed slightly with a scoop of cool vanilla ice cream for dessert.

Like many Costco products, availability can vary by location, so if you don’t see them now, you may spot them showing up in the future.

Familiar enough to satisfy classic cinnamon roll cravings, yet different enough in the mini format to feel fresh and fun, these El Camino Real Bakery treats are a solid Costco find for sweet snacking and easy entertaining. If your family always shows up for cinnamon rolls, this is the version you’ll want to stock up on before it’s gone.

For a brief moment this spring, a small miracle seemed to unfold somewhere above the clouds. Travelers on certain United Airlines flights logged onto the onboard Wi-Fi portal expecting the usual prompt to pay. Instead, many were quietly waved through. No credit card. No day passes. Just free internet.

For travelers like me who spend far too many hours wedged between a window shade and a tray table, that kind of surprise feels like finding an extra inch of legroom. Passengers quickly assumed the airline had finally joined the growing club of carriers offering complimentary connectivity, as per the New York Post. Screens lit up with texts, emails, and hopeful speculation that in-flight Wi-Fi might soon be as normal as a cup of ginger ale.

Then the truth came out. The free connection was never meant to happen. According to reports, the airline later confirmed the access was the result of a technical glitch rather than a new benefit. By the end of the day, the paywall had quietly returned.

The “Glitch” That Briefly Changed the In-Flight Experience

The unexpected free access appeared when some passengers discovered they could connect without paying on planes that did not yet have the airline’s new Starlink internet system installed. Normally, Wi-Fi on these aircraft costs around $8 for loyalty members and about $10 for other passengers.

But for a short window, those fees vanished. Travelers simply logged in and connected, leading many to believe the airline had expanded complimentary internet beyond its newer aircraft.

Soon after, the airline clarified that no policy change had occurred. The Street reports system error temporarily allowed passengers to bypass the payment screen. The company corrected the issue and confirmed that its existing Wi-Fi policy remains unchanged.

To seasoned travelers, this kind of digital hiccup is oddly fitting for the modern aviation era. Air travel today runs on layers of software and connectivity systems, from ticketing to aircraft communications. When one piece behaves unexpectedly, passengers notice immediately.

Why Wi-Fi Has Become One of Travel’s Most Valuable Perks

If you had asked travelers a decade ago what makes a good flight, the answers might have been legroom, food, or friendly service. Today, internet access often lands near the top of the list.

In many ways, the airplane cabin has become a floating office, entertainment lounge, and communication hub. Travelers stream movies, finish presentations, send photos to family, or simply track their connection while crossing an ocean.

Related: United is Turning Economy Seats Into a Bed and We’re Obsessed

Across the industry, airlines are increasingly experimenting with free Wi-Fi models. Some carriers already provide complimentary access either universally or through loyalty programs.

That shift reflects a larger change in expectations. Travelers are used to being connected everywhere else. Coffee shops, trains, and hotels offer internet almost automatically. The airplane, once a disconnected bubble in the sky, is slowly catching up.

The Technology Race Happening Above the Clouds

The story also intersects with a larger technological transition underway in aviation. Airlines are racing to upgrade onboard internet systems, and satellites are playing a growing role.

United, for instance, has been installing high-speed Starlink connectivity across parts of its fleet. The system promises faster speeds and broader coverage compared with traditional air-to-ground networks. The airline plans to continue the rollout over the next few years, with fleetwide upgrades expected by 2027.

For travelers, the promise is significant. Satellite-based systems can deliver speeds that make streaming, video calls, and cloud work possible even at cruising altitude.

During one flight I took last year with a modern satellite system onboard, I noticed something unusual. The cabin was quiet in a different way. Instead of flipping through magazines or staring blankly at seatbacks, passengers were typing, scrolling, and watching shows as if they were sitting in a café. The plane had quietly turned into a flying digital lounge.

What Travelers Should Expect Going Forward

So what does this brief Wi-Fi “glitch” really tell us? First, connectivity has moved from luxury to expectation. When passengers accidentally receive free internet and celebrate it instantly, it shows how central the service has become to the travel experience.

Second, airline technology is evolving quickly. Satellite internet, new partnerships, and software systems are reshaping the cabin faster than many travelers realize.

Finally, the episode offers a reminder about the strange moments that make travel memorable.

There are a lot of book adaptations out there, and usually, we turn to movies and TV shows. Yet, there is another format that has become popular over the centuries: musicals.

Broadway and West End productions have been forms of entertainment since the dawn of time. It’s no wonder, then, that many books have been adapted into theater productions, and musicals remain a popular format. While Wicked and The Phantom of the Opera are close to the top, there’s only one novel that Goodreads users have put at the top of “Books that Inspired Musicals.”

Victor Hugo’s ‘Les Misérables’ Shines

It’s all about the 1862 novel Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. Many will be aware of the movie starring Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe, but this has been a stage production for much longer. 

The production has been on stage since 1980, bringing Hugo’s story to life. Set in the early 19th century, we start with the story of Jean Valjean, a prisoner who is released on parole. Of course, it’s hard to start a life as a parolee, and police inspector Javert is constantly on his tail, looking out for him to bring him back to prison.

Over the course of the musical, we meet characters such as Fantine, Cosette, and Eponine. We’re told the stories of hardship and loss, with the arcs taken from the story itself. However, some of the relationships are lost in the adaptation due to the time available.

Some of the most memorable songs from the stage production include “I Dreamed a Dream,” “Castle on a Cloud,” and “On My Own.”

Movie and TV Adaptations of Victor Hugo’s Classic

While the musical adaptation is one of the most well-known around the world, there have been other versions released. The one that follows the classic Hugo novel much more closely is the PBS miniseries starring Lily Collins, David Oyelowo, and Dominic West.

However, the book itself has captured hearts and minds. This isn’t a book of happiness and romance. While there is a love story built into it, the title itself translates to “The Miserable Ones.” It’s a focus on real life in the 1800s, bringing tragedy as well as hope. 

It’s also a timeless tale, despite the setting. Sure, we may not be at the start of the French Revolution, but there are constant turning points in history and it’s going to speak volumes whatever the era. Out of all the novels out there that have inspired musicals, it’s not surprising that this one sits at the top of the list.

The Brady Bunch featured several big-name guest stars during its five-season run, but some of the child actors on the show were too young to realize who they were. The classic TV sitcom, which aired from 1969 to 1974 on ABC, featured cameos from everyone from football great Joe Namath to Monkees singer Davy Jones.

In an April 2026 interview with Newsday, series star Eve Plumb (Jan Brady on the series) revealed she didn’t know who guest Imogene Coca was when she made a guest appearance on the show in the 1972 episode “Jan’s Aunt Jenny.” When asked if she was aware of the legendary comic actress who played her eccentric great aunt, Plumb, now 67, replied, “I think I was too young.”

Ditto for Jim Backus, the iconic actor who played Mr. Howell on Gilligan’s Island and made several guest appearances on the Brady episodes “Ghost Town USA,” “Grand Canyon or Bust,” and "The Hustler.” “Yeah. Same," Plumb replied when asked if she was too young to recall Backus.

When asked if she had seen the actor on Gilligan’s Island, which Brady Bunch showrunner Sherwood Schwartz also created, she admitted, “No. I was watching Mary Tyler Moore."

Several 'Brady Bunch' guest stars caused quite a stir

Plumb may have recognized some of the younger guest stars, such as Monkees legend Davy Jones and actor Desi Arnaz Jr.

In her 2008 memoir Here’s the Story, co-star Maureen McCormick dished, “Davy’s arrival on the set created a buzz greater than any other guest star we had on the show. Davy was a lovely guy, and it was a big deal to have a pop star of his caliber on set. “

Super Bowl-winning quarterback Namath, fellow NFL star Deacon Jones, and legendary Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Don Drysdale also made cameos on the show. In Barry Williams’ book Growing up Brady: I Was a Teenage Greg, Brady Bunch matriarch Florence Henderson admitted, “I was crazy about Joe Namath.” She also recalled that she jokingly asked the football legend to “take her away” because she “couldn’t stand this family anymore.” “And he just said, ‘Sure Mrs. Brady,' and carried me off the set,” she shared.

In an interview with USA Today, Christopher Knight (Peter Brady on the show) also dished on his favorite guest stars. "Working with Vincent Price was an honor. And Davy Jones. I was a fan of The Monkees," The Brady Bunch star said.

Kathleen Turner can do whatever she wants on the red carpet.

The beloved actress, 71, who rose to stardom in the role of sex symbol Matty Walker in the 1981film Body Heat, went on to memorable roles like The War of the Roses, Peggy Sue Got Married, and The Virgin Suicides. She even nailed several comedic roles, like starring as Chandler Bing’s transgender father on Friends. But these days, Turner is enjoying a quieter life. The iconic star stepped out to attend the red carpet New York premiere of Animal Farm, and rocked a pair of Crocs like an absolute boss. Walking with a cane due to some recent injuries, the legend of stage and screen smiled for the cameras.

When Did Kathleen Turner Last Hit the Red Carpet?

Before that, the legendary actress made a rare appearance last summer at the New York City premiere of The Roses at the Hudson Theatre on Monday. The black comedy, based on the 1981 novel The War of the Roses by Warren Adler, tells the story of a couple, Ivy and Theo, played by Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman, who face a crossroads in their troubled relationship. Andy Samberg, Kate McKinnon, and Allison Janney have supporting roles in the film.

It would have been only appropriate to have Turner at the premiere of the film, since she starred opposite Michael Douglas in the 1989 film adaptation of the book, which was a runaway hit directed by Danny DeVito. The legendary actress wore a full-length black dress for the occasion, along with black sandals. While her arm was in a sling, there was no word about the cause of her injury. With Cumberbatch and Colman by her side, Turner appeared happy to be at the big event.

Maggie Sajak, the daughter of beloved Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak, recently hard launched her relationship with a popular Savannah Bananas player. According to her April 21 Instagram post, she is dating infielder Jackson Olson, who many fans have been pushing to get cast on Dancing with the Stars.

View this post on Instagram

Maggie posted a photograph with the athlete in front of a Disney castle with the caption, “Applications closed.” This is a reference to a TikTok video that he posted in December, where he said, “As some of you know, I’ve been single for over five years. And I’ve been getting pretty tired of it recently. So here’s my official 2026 boyfriend application.” In it, he stated that he dances on baseball fields for a living, loves Disney, knows “more Taylor Swift songs than you,” and has an unhealthy obsession with musicals.

The photo of the new couple has already racked up over 100k likes with thousands of comments congratulating the pair. One said, “Awwww. Can we get a story on this happened?! Because adorable.” Another simply said, “Obsessed with this hard launch.”

On April 21, Olson referenced the relationship by sharing a clip to his Instagram Stories from the movie Elf. It depicted the scene where the main character, Buddy, says, “I’m in love and I don’t care who knows it.” Olson captioned it, “Me right now.”

In addition to being the daughter of an iconic game show host, 31-year-old Maggie is a country music singer and special Super Bowl correspondent for Inside Edition. 28-year-old Olson started with the Savannah Bananas in 2022 and has over a million followers on TikTok. Since he is already known for his choreographed dancing on the field, many people believe he would be a great fit for Dancing with the Stars.

The Savannah Bananas are an exhibition baseball team based in Georgia who play a variation of baseball called Banana Ball. Their games include fan participation and showmanship, similar to the Harlem Globetrotters. However, they are still competitive. Many of their players are former minor league or college players.

If you’ve been putting off booking your 2026 travel because you aren't ready to drop thousands of dollars at checkout, JetBlue Vacations just handed you a major workaround.

Starting today, JetBlue Vacations has partnered with Flex Pay to allow travelers to book flight and hotel packages using simple monthly installments. To celebrate the launch, the new feature comes with a massive perk: zero interest for this week only. From now through April 23, 2026, well-qualified travelers can snag 0% APR on their trips. That means you can lock in your flights and your hotel today, but spread the actual cost over the next year without paying a penny in interest.

The "Already Winning" Strategy

The reason this is such a savvy move for 2026 is that JetBlue Vacations is already an under-the-radar gold mine for deals. Earlier this year, the brand ran a staggering promotion where flights were 100% off—yes, you read that right—when bundled with select cruise packages.

When you find one of those "free flight" bundles with partners like Royal Caribbean or Norwegian Cruise Line, you’re already winning. By adding a 0% APR payment plan on top of a zero-dollar airfare, you are essentially getting a free loan for a vacation that was already a steal.

The "Anti-Deposit" Advantage

The struggle with traditional travel planning is the "big balance" surprise that usually hits right before you depart. JetBlue’s new system flips that on its head. Instead of a massive lump sum, you’ll see the estimated monthly cost while you browse.

Think of it as a "subscription" to your vacation. If that Caribbean escape or an "Insider Experience" stay in Tulum or Aruba looks a lot more manageable at $90 a month rather than $1,100 upfront, this tool is designed for you. Plus, unlike traditional credit cards, there are no late fees or prepayment penalties.

The 72-Hour Window

To get the most out of this, you have to move fast. The 0% APR offer is only available through Thursday, April 23. It covers travel through the end of 2026, so if you’re eyeing a Thanksgiving trip or a winter holiday cruise, this is the window to lock it in.

Pro Traveler Tip: Don’t Leave Points on the Table

Even if you choose the monthly payment route, you still earn your TrueBlue points and tiles for the full package. This is a savvy way to edge closer to Mosaic status or earn those "Perks You Pick" without draining your checking account in one go. Whether you're booking a flight-and-hotel stay at a premium Disney property or a "Plane to Port" cruise bundle, just look for the Flex Pay option at checkout to see your personalized monthly rate

Häagen-Dazs is expanding its popular lineup of mini ice cream bars with a trendy new flavor—but only at Costco (which famously sells its own, very similar ice cream bars).

It has been a busy year for fans of the iconic ice cream brand, which debuted two new bars—Cherry Dark Chocolate and Toasted Coconut Crunch—nationwide in January and the Sam's Club-exclusive Salted Caramel Graham Mini Ice Cream Bars last month.

Now, Parade has learned the 66-year-old company is expanding its retail line of mini bars with a new flavor that it said is rooted in one of the brand’s best‑selling ice creams and aligned with modern dessert trends.

Following what the premium ice cream brand called a successful relaunch of its pistachio ice cream flavor in 2024 and growing consumer demand for more globally inspired flavors (not to mention the popularity of pistachio-chocolate combos), Häagen-Dazs said it's launching new Dubai Style Chocolate Mini Ice Cream Bars exclusively at Costco clubs.

Häagen-Dazs Officially Debuts New Dubai-Style Chocolate Mini Ice Cream Bars

Häagen-Dazs' new Dubai Style Chocolate Mini Ice Cream Bars are made with creamy pistachio ice cream that features crunchy inclusions of kataifi that's "toasted to golden perfection" before being coated in the brand's beloved rich milk chocolate shell with "global levels of indulgence," according to an official statement shared in an email with Parade.

Dave Mason, guitarist and co-founder of the band Traffic, has died.

The English singer-songwriter passed away at his home in Gardnerville, Nevada on Sunday at the age of 79.

The heartbreaking news was confirmed by his family on his official Facebook page.

Although the cause of death has not been revealed, the family shared that he passed away peacefully after spending time with them, including his beloved wife Winifred and their dog Star, on his final day.

“It is with deep and profound sadness that we share the news of the passing of Dave Mason. On Sunday, April 19, after cooking an amazing dinner with his beloved wife Winifred, he sat down to take a nap with sweet Star (the Maltese) at his feet. He passed away peacefully, in his favorite chair, surrounded by the beautiful Carson Valley that he loved so much. A storybook ending. On his own terms. Which is how he lived his life right up until the end. He leaves a lasting imprint on the soundtrack of our lives and the hearts he has lifted. His legacy will be cherished forever,” the caption reads.

Prior to his death, Mason was forced to postpone a tour in 2024 due to an "urgent heart condition" that he discovered during a routine medical checkup.

A year later, he called off his full tour schedule as he was still recovering from a "severe infection."

"With deep regret, I must cancel all tour dates for 2025 due to ongoing health issues stemming from the infection I had in March," he mentioned in a statement at the time.

However, in the same year, Mason announced his retirement from touring due to persistent health problems.

As the music legend prioritized his health, he took the opportunity to thank his fans and those around him including his doctors for their compassion and guidance.

“I’m incredibly grateful to my team of doctors—this has been challenging territory, to say the least,” he said as cited by Ultimate Classic Rock, adding “A heartfelt thank you to all the fans, and to my family, band, agents and the venues who’ve waited patiently and supported me throughout this journey.”

The late musician is known for co-establishing the acclaimed rock band in 1967 together with Chris Wood, Steve Winwood and Jim Capaldi.

At the height of their career, Traffic released a string of notable hits including "Hole in My Shoe," "Paper Sun” and "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush.”

In 1970, Mason pursued a solo career and released his debut album, Alone Together.

It was his sixth solo studio album, Let It Flow, when he achieved major solo success through his second single "We Just Disagree,” marking his highest-charting solo hit after reaching No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Trader Joe’s may be known for epic snacks and frozen aisle staples, but shoppers are now making room in their carts for skincare.

The grocery chain’s new Dewy Skin Serum, priced at just $9.99, is quickly going viral online, with some fans comparing it to pricier glow-boosting products from Glow Recipe. For beauty shoppers looking for that glass-skin finish without the luxury price tag, it’s easy to see why the product is getting attention.

According to the Trader Joe's website, the serum is designed to deliver lightweight, layered hydration while leaving skin with a smooth, lit-from-within look. The formula includes four forms of hyaluronic acid to help attract and retain moisture, plus niacinamide to support the skin barrier and help brighten uneven tone.

The brand also notes that ingredients like sappan bark, rosehip fruit, and watermelon fruit extracts add a soothing boost, while a touch of mica creates a luminous finish that is dewy rather than glittery.

View this post on Instagram

That ingredient lineup has led many shoppers to compare it to Glow Recipe’s bestselling dewy serums and watermelon-inspired skincare, which often retail in the $34 to $45 range depending on size and formula. 

“The dewy serum is so worth it,” one fan exclaimed along with two fire emojis on an Instagram post highlighting the product.

Another claimed “the glow serum is sooooo amazing guys.”

A third stated, “This stuff is actually good! I use it in my morning skincare routine, definitely gives moisture and glow.”

Others said it looked similar to the Glossier’s Futuredew, which sells for around $30.

“Oooo looks like the Glossier Future Dew!” one noted.

One Redditor wrote, “this looks very similar to glossier future dew which I love!”

It’s the latest example of Trader Joe’s building a reputation for affordable beauty dupes. Recent launches like the chain’s bonding shampoo and conditioner also sparked buzz, with shoppers comparing those products to premium brands like Olaplex, Kérastase, and Aveda.

Beyond the formula, shoppers are also talking about the packaging. Trader Joe’s described the pale purple box and pearlescent bottle, giving the serum a high-end feel.

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the way we travel, from facial recognition at security to automated check-in kiosks. But a new wave of concern is emerging: could AI eventually replace humans in one of the most critical parts of aviation: air traffic control?

Recent discussions around new AI-powered software being developed for the U.S. aviation system have sparked both excitement and anxiety. For travelers, the question is simple but important: Is the future of flying becoming automated, and should we be worried?

Why AI Is Entering Air Travel

The push toward AI isn’t happening randomly. It’s being driven by real problems in the aviation system. Much of the current U.S. air traffic control infrastructure is outdated; some systems are comparable to technology from decades ago. 

This aging system has contributed to delays, outages, and inefficiencies across airports. In response, the government is investing billions of dollars into modernization, including new software that uses AI to better manage airspace and flight schedules. 

The goal isn’t just modernization, but rather efficiency. AI can analyze massive amounts of data in real time, helping predict congestion, adjust flight timing, and reduce delays before they happen.

What AI Would Actually Do

Despite the fears, AI isn’t being designed to take over the control tower. Instead, it is intended to act as a decision-support tool, helping human air traffic controllers make better, faster decisions.

For example, AI systems could:

• Identify scheduling conflicts weeks in advance
• Suggest minor flight adjustments to avoid delays
• Optimize how planes move through crowded airspace

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy made it clear that AI will assist, not replace, humans. In fact, he directly addressed the concern, saying replacing controllers with AI “is not going to happen.”

Why People Are Still Concerned

Even with those assurances, the concern isn’t unfounded. Air traffic control is one of the most high-stakes jobs in the world. Controllers are responsible for safely guiding thousands of flights every day, often making split-second decisions that impact lives.

The idea of handing any part of that responsibility to AI raises valid questions:

• Can AI handle unpredictable situations, such as weather emergencies?
• What happens if systems fail or glitch?
• Could over-reliance on automation reduce human oversight?

These concerns are especially relevant as automation expands across the travel experience, from self-service bag drops to biometric boarding gates.

There’s also a broader anxiety at play: as AI becomes more capable, many industries, not just aviation, are facing questions about the future of human jobs.

What This Means for Travelers

For now, travelers are unlikely to notice dramatic changes in how flights are managed.

The biggest impact of AI in aviation will likely be behind the scenes:

• Fewer delays due to smarter scheduling
• More efficient routing in crowded skies
• Potentially smoother travel experiences overall

Importantly, human air traffic controllers will remain at the center of operations. Aviation is a highly regulated industry, and safety standards make a fully automated system extremely unlikely in the near future.

In fact, many experts argue that human judgment is irreplaceable, especially in complex or emergency situations where nuance and experience matter.

So, will AI replace humans at the airport? All signs point to no. While AI is set to play a bigger role in managing air travel, it’s being designed as a support system, not a replacement for the people who keep flights safe every day.

For travelers, that’s actually good news. It means a future of more efficient, less stressful flying, without sacrificing the human expertise that makes aviation one of the safest forms of travel in the world.

Tori Spelling broke her silence on the sudden death of her Beverly Hills, 90210 costar and ex-boyfriend Patrick Muldoon with a heartfelt and devastating Instagram post including candid photos from their relationship on April 21. The star admitted it "took her a couple days" to share her statement because she didn't want his death to "feel real."

"This shouldn’t be real," she wrote in part, reflecting on meeting him via their hit TV show on a "blind date." "Like every other girl in the world I crushed on his character Austin from Days of Our Lives. Not sure I ever disclosed that to him." However, it was Muldoon's "beautiful soul" that made her fall in love with him in real life.

"He was special and one of a kind," she mused. "The kindest most caring human w/ raddest weird sense of humor. We got each other! Laughed a lot ! I laughed w/him and at him and he loved it. Was multi talented. Passionate about everything he did. And, he had a knack for making others smile & brought absolute joy to everyone that was blessed to be in his orbit. A true gift."

Spelling also shared some of her sweetest memories from her time with Muldoon, who was in a relationship wit producer Miriam Rothbart at the time of his death, reflecting on watching the Broncos, playing tag, and belting out songs from Grease together.

"I was Sandy to his Danny," she laughed, sharing a photo of them singing and dancing together on her 22nd birthday in 1995. "He was a huge part of my formative 20s," she added.

Though they broke up decades ago, Spelling said she and Muldoon still shared a special friendship, with him even supporting her through her 2024 divorce from Dean McDermott. "He would call and check on me and send me the worst jokes to make me laugh," she revealed.

Spelling said she last saw Muldoon in the summer of 2025, where she was lucky to meet his girlfriend. "He said we would get along & I instantly got it!" she said. "She was his perfect balance."

"I’m sorry to his family and the world for a beautiful light put out too soon," she concluded.

Inside Tori Spelling and Patrick Muldoon's Relationship

Muldoon and Spelling met on the set of 90210 in the 90s during his relationship with Denise Richards, and went on to date for an unknown amount of time. Both actresses hilariously confronted him about it when Richards called him during an episode of Denise Richards & Her Wild Things, to which he said, "You know, T, I don't remember the 90s. I remember both of you, but outside of that…," he said.

Spelling was always tickled that the handsome actor was into her. "Like, a man stopped seeing Denise Richards for me. F---," she said. "I always wanted a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame — I'm fine with this."

Muldoon died suddenly on Sunday, April 19 as the result of a heart attack, per Deadline. He was just 57 years old.

In 1971, a quiet, deeply reflective film captured the fading spirit of a small American town and left a lasting mark on cinema.

The Last Picture Show, directed by Peter Bogdanovich, has since been ranked among the best movies of all time by Rotten Tomatoes, a testament to its enduring emotional impact.

Set in a declining Texas town in the early 1950s, the film follows a group of high school seniors as they navigate love, loss and the uncertainty of adulthood. Through its ensemble cast, the story paints a vivid picture of a community grappling with change, where traditions are fading and the future feels increasingly uncertain.

"When I was in an airport or a store, on one of those displays I saw a bunch of paperback books," Bogdanovich told AMCI. "One of them said, The Last Picture Show. I turned it over to the side and I looked at it and thought this sounds like it could make a good film."

The film features breakout performances from Jeff Bridges and Cybill Shepherd, alongside acclaimed turns from Ben Johnson and Cloris Leachman, both of whom won Academy Awards for their roles.

"When the picture came out, it got good reviews," recalled Bogdanovich. "One of them [Newsweek] said it was the best film by a young director since Citizen Kane. Orson [Welles] sent me a telegram that said reading your notices is like opening presents at Christmas."

Shot in striking black and white, The Last Picture Show evokes a sense of nostalgia while also confronting the harsher realities of life in a town on the brink of decline. Its understated storytelling and emotional honesty set it apart from more conventional coming-of-age films.

At its core, the movie is about endings the end of youth, the end of an era and the quiet disappearance of a way of life. That sense of loss resonates throughout, giving the film a haunting, timeless quality.

More than five decades later, The Last Picture Show continues to be regarded as a landmark in American cinema.

With its inclusion in Rotten Tomatoes' ranking, the film stands as a powerful reminder of storytelling's ability to capture both personal and cultural change and preserve it for generations to come.

In the comment section, several of Vincent’s former and current co-stars shared messages of support. Sally Dynevor who played Vincent’s Corrie mother Sally Metcalfe excitedly said, “Oh Brooke congratulations, you will be absolutely fantastic as you were in Corrie. Can’t wait to watch you xxx.” Meanwhile, Sue Devaney who plays Vincent’s on-screen aunt, Debbie Webster, wrote, “Love this our Brooke! You’ll be fabulous as ever! Love yer Auntie Debbie ❤️❤️❤️xxxx”

Ryan Thomas, ex-Jason Grimshaw, shared, “How do I find out about this on social media Sophie on Hollyoaks this is a big deal!!!!?”, with one of her newest co-stars Jennifer Metcalfe, who plays Mercedes McQueen, writing words of encouragement adding, “Awww great news 🙌 ur gunna love it! ❤️”

Details about Vincent’s role and the “powerful” storyline have not yet been revealed. However, Hollyoaks teased her arrival in a recent post on its official Facebook account, sharing images of the actress on the Hollyoaks High school set, hinting at a possible storyline setting.

Vincent previously played the role of Sophie Webster on Coronation Street for over 1200 episodes between her debut on May 12, 2004 and her exit on October 9, 2019. During her time on the series she participated in many major storylines, including coming out, and her relationships with Sian Powers (Sacha Parkinson), Maddie Heath, Jenna Kamara, Kate Connor and Paula Martin. The character left the cobbles in 2019 in order to go traveling around Asia.

Hollyoaks airs new episodes Monday through Wednesdays on E4 in the U.K., with episodes streaming globally one week later, officially, on YouTube.

If you're hoping to be productive at work, you might want to avoid listening to certain songs. Entertainment industry database Booking Agent Info did a study based on the most streamed songs of 2025, focusing on specific criteria to come up with a list of songs that are the "worst to listen to while working."

In the study, which was sent to Parade, three key factors were taken into consideration: Tempo (BPM), loudness (decibels), and danceability.

"Using a balanced benchmark, 120 BPM, –15 dB, and 50% danceability, the study identified which songs are most likely to disrupt workflow, either by being too energizing or not stimulating enough," reads a portion of the study. "The study analyzed 100 of Billboard’s 2025 most-streamed songs, scoring each track for tempo (BPM), danceability, and volume (dB). Each metric carried an equal weight of 33.33%, and reference values were set at 120 BPM, –15 dB, and 50% danceability, representing a balance between energy and calm suitable for focus. Combined scores reveal which songs are most likely to interrupt workflow, whether by overstimulation or under-stimulation."

Topping the list is "Smile" by Morgan Wallen, a popular song that was released in 2024.

"With a tempo of 127 BPM and relatively high danceability, the track sits just above the ideal threshold, making it subtly distracting despite its laid-back appeal," according to Booking Agent Info. The song received a score of 83.78 per the study's metrics.

Wallen's song "Just in Case" was in the No. 2 spot, with a score of 83.63. Other tracks rounding out the top five worst songs to listen to while working include Billie Eilish's "WILDFLOWER," Alex Warren's "Ordinary," and "House Again" by Hudson Westbrook.

Out of the 98 songs on the list, 10 are tracks by Wallen.

On April 22, 1979, a heartfelt country ballad climbed to the top of the charts, giving Charley Pride yet another No. 1 hit during one of the most dominant runs in country music history.

The song was “Where Do I Put Her Memory,” written by Jim Weatherly and released earlier that year as the third single from Pride’s album Burgers and Fries/When I Stop Leaving (I'll Be Gone). It became his 21st No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, holding the top spot for one week and spending a total of 10 weeks on the chart.

At its core, the song is a quiet gut punch. It tells the story of someone trying to move on after a breakup, packing away every physical reminder of a past relationship—photos, gifts, even the smallest traces—only to realize that memory itself refuses to be boxed up. The central question lingers like a ghost in the room: where do you put something you can’t physically remove? It actually kind of feels like the precursor to another country hit that topped the charts a year later: "He Stopped Loving Her Today" by George Jones.

That emotional pull helped the song resonate with listeners, fitting neatly into the “countrypolitan” sound that defined Pride’s biggest hits—smooth, polished, and built for crossover appeal. By the late 1970s, Pride was already a towering figure in country music, with dozens of Top 10 hits and a reputation as one of RCA Records’ best-selling artists, even outselling icons like Elvis Presley during his peak years.

His success was all the more remarkable given his unconventional path. Before music, Pride pursued a career in baseball, playing in the Negro leagues and minor league systems before turning fully to singing. That second act turned into a historic run, including 30 No. 1 hits and major honors like CMA Entertainer of the Year and a Grammy Award.

“Where Do I Put Her Memory” may not always be the first song mentioned in Pride’s catalog, but it stands as a perfect example of what made him so enduring. It’s simple, direct, and emotionally universal—a breakup anthem that doesn’t shout, but lingers. And nearly five decades later, its central dilemma still feels impossible to solve.
