Move Over Celebrity Babies: The National Zoo’s Baby Elephant Linh Mai Is Making a Grand Debut
Rihanna’s Rocki, Sofia Richie Grainge’s Henry, Jack Osbourne’s Ozzy Matilda, and Joey Larence’s Ford may have all made recent headlines. But there’s one celebrity baby who is stealing the spotlight away from these famous faces. And, she weighs just under 500 pounds.
There’s a new baby in town! The Smithsonian’s National Zoo recently welcomed a new female Asian elephant back in February, and this plucky pachyderm made waves in the conservation community as the first of her kind born in captivity in nearly 25 years.
View this post on Instagram When Was the Baby Elephant Born at the National Zoo?The National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute (NZCBI) announced the birth of Linh Mai after a 21-month pregnancy. Born to 12-year-old Nhi Linh and 44-year-old Spike (and yes, that’s quite the age difference), the calf has quietly roamed the zoo for a few months now. While her mother hasn’t had a major presence in Linh Mai’s life, the baby elephant has reportedly gotten closer to her “Auntie Swarma.” The 52-year-old elephant has never had children of her own, but according to the National Zoo, she has stepped up and taken on a maternal role.
When Can the Public See Linh Mai?April 22 is a major day for fans of the new baby. Even though Linh Mai has already made news, with the National Zoo providing plenty of photos, videos, and updates, this is the first day for the public to view the now two-month-old. Not only can you catch a glimpse of the calf in person, but if you don’t have a visit planned to Washington, D.C. anytime soon, you can also watch her on the Elephant Cam.
Brandie Smith, the John and Adrienne Mars Director of the NZCBI, said, in a press release, “Watching an elephant calf explore and interact with her herd is one of the most heartwarming and joyful experiences you can have at a zoo.” Smith continued, “We are so excited to introduce Linh Mai to our members and the public. As the first elephant born here in nearly 25 years, her birth was historic, not only for our Zoo family but also for this critically endangered species.”
The NZCBI’s director also added, “I can’t wait for visitors to see her, learn about our work to protect elephants here and across Southeast Asia, and feel inspired to help save them in the wild.”
This isn’t the first time the public has had a chance to, in a way, interact with the baby elephant. In February, the National Zoo gave fans of the calf a chance to help choose her name. The winning moniker, Linh Mai, means spirit blossom.
Bob Dylan Played His Wife This 1976 Song to Save Their Marriage - It Almost Worked
Bob Dylan has spent his entire career as an enigma; hiding behind mystical lyrics and refusing to explain what his songs mean. However in 1976, he did something completely out of character — and it involved the most vulnerable moment of his entire life.
The legendary folk singer invited his then wife, Sara Dylan, to the recording studio while he was working on his album "Desire." Their marriage was tumultuous at the time. They'd been together since 1965, raising their four children plus Sara's daughter, Maria, from a previous relationship. But by 1975, everything was completely falling apart.
Then Dylan played her a very personal song he'd just penned. That song was called "Sara."Unlike anything he'd ever recorded before, "Sara" wasn't abstract or mysterious. It was a direct, heartbreaking plea to the woman he loved when the relationship was falling apart.
"Sara, Sara / Whatever made you want to change your mind?" he sang, his voice wrapped up wholly in memory and longing. "Don't ever leave me, don't ever go."
The song referred to very specific and significant moments to him from their relationship — staying up for days at the Chelsea Hotel writing "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands" for her, watching their beautiful children play on the beach as young babies, and building a life and family together in Woodstock.

For an artist who is notorious for keeping his personal business private and separate from his music career, this level of exposure was unpheard of and completely out of character. Desperate times, call for desperate measures. He was laying his heart completely bare, naming his wife directly, recalling their actual memories, begging her to stay.
Bob Dylan's Most Personal Song Was Really a Marriage-Saving AttemptSara was moved. The gesture worked — temporarily. Their marriage was mended in that studio moment, and the relationship continued a bit longer.

The take Dylan sang directly to his wife that day became the final version on "Desire," closing out an album that also featured the hit "Hurricane." Every single time someone listens to "Sara," they're hearing the exact heartbreaking performance. In front of a room full of awestruck bystanders, Dylan laid his soul bare and sang to his wife in a final effort to try to save their marriage.
The song's power wasn't enough to fix what was already broken. Despite their emotional reconciliation in the studio on that day, Sara and Bob divorced in 1977, just one year after "Sara" was released.
For audiences recently discovering Dylan's story through Timothée Chalamet's portrayal in A Complete Unknown, this moment represents something rare in Dylan's catalog — a song where he let his guard down, stopped hiding behind metaphor, and finally just said exactly what he meant.
It almost worked. And that "almost" is what makes "Sara" one of the most heartbreaking songs Dylan ever recorded.
This Ice Cream Shop Was Ranked No. 1 in the Country
Beli, a food review app that allows users to track the restaurants they’ve visited and rate their experiences, recently released a list of the top 12 ice cream shops in the United States.
The April 17 Instagram post, which released the names of the shops, was captioned, “The top rated ice cream and gelato shops shops in the U.S., based on over 100 million ratings on Beli. Let us know what you think should have made the list!”
The list was mostly packed with shops based in New York and California, but a few other locations made the cut as well. They include Ferris Acres Creamery in Connecticut, An’s Gelato in California, Caffè Panna in New York, Garden Creamery in California, Bellvale Farms Creamery in New York, Kasha Creamery in California, Spotted Duck in New York, Springer’s Homemade Ice Cream in New Jersey, 626 Ice Cream in California, The Juice Bar in Massachusetts, Happy Ice Cream in Washington, and Rivareno Gelato in New York.
One commenter said, “Absolutely no surprise NY takes up half the list.” Another said, “So many ones I haven’t tried yet!! Excited to try when I go back to NYC!!”
View this post on InstagramFerris Acres Creamery, which was number 1 on the list, opened in 2003. They sell unique flavors like Bada Bing, which is an almond and chocolate ice cream with dark chocolate chunks and Bing Cherries. They also sell Campfire, which is vanilla ice cream with fudge swirls, graham cracker pieces, and mini marshmallows.
The beloved shop also serves special flavors, which rotate daily. They include Elvis Dream, which is vanilla ice cream with peanut butter, banana, and dark chocolate chunks, and Bad Attitude, which is dark chocolate ice cream with salted caramel swirls.

'Silo' Sets Return Date for Season 3 — With a Game-Changing Twist!
While the citizens of the silos may want to break out of their confinement, Apple TV+ has confirmed that viewers will be getting a lot more of Silo. The show was officially renewed for two more seasons. The show is set to end after Season 4. This announcement ensures fans will see the full scope of the series’ dystopian narrative, as it builds toward a resolution of the mysteries surrounding the silos and the enigmatic world beyond.

Following a Season 2 finale that left audiences reeling with a game-changing flashback, fans are looking forward to the next chapter in the sci-fi series. Based on the novels by Hugh Howey, there are already theories about how the show will adapt the source material. Perhaps the series will delve deeper into the backstory of the silos, exploring the origins of their creation and the motives behind the strict societal rules governing their inhabitants. Fans disapointed that we might see less of Rebecca Ferguson having nothing to fear as showrunner Graham Yost has confirmed the actor will be a "big part of Season 3", according to an interview with TVLine.
Here's everything to know about Silo Season 3, including release date, cast and trailer.
Related: Silo Season 2 Ending, Explained
What is Silo about?Silo is a sci-fi drama set in a post-apocalyptic world where the remnants of humanity live in a massive underground silo, sealed off from the toxic wasteland outside. Governed by strict rules and riddled with secrets, the silo is a society built on control, where questioning the truth can have deadly consequences. The story follows Juliette Nichols (Ferguson), an engineer turned reluctant investigator, as she uncovers the lies and mysteries surrounding the silo’s origins, its leaders, and the world beyond its walls. Adapted from Hugh Howey’s Wool series, the show weaves a compelling narrative of survival, rebellion, and the search for freedom in a world designed to suppress it.
Has Silo been renewed?Yes, the show was renewed for two final seasons. "It has been a richly rewarding experience to adapt Hugh’s epic novels with our partners at Apple and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to bring this complete story to the screen over the course of four seasons,” said showrunner and executive producer Graham Yost. “With the final two chapters of Silo, we can’t wait to give fans of the show an incredibly satisfying conclusion to the many mysteries and unanswered questions contained within the walls of these silos.”
When will Silo Season 3 premiere?Apple TV has announced the new season will premiere on July 3, 2026.
What will happen in Season 3 of Silo?In the final moments of Season 2, Silo hinted at what content it might explore in Season 3. The last scene of the series shows Congressman Donald Keene (Ashley Zukerman) on a date with Helen (Jessica Henwick). Both characters play a major role in the second book in the Silo series, Shift. This very likely means that Season 3 will adapt content from the book. However, the book features very little of Juliette and other inhabitants of the season. Yost has said that Rebecca Ferguson will be featured heavily, so it's highly likely that the show will cover both the current story of the show while also adapting the content from Shift.
What books will Season 3 of Silo cover?Given the final scene of Season 2, it's expected that Season 3 will adapt storylines and characters from the second book in the series, Shift. In that novel, the focus drifts away from Silo 18 and into the past, as we get to see not only how the silos were created (and who created them), but also get to see the lives of individuals in the other silos prior to the events of the show. While Howey has said that there will be parts of Shift that will be adapted, the show is certain to take a few liberties from the source material.

Is there a trailer for Season 3 of Silo?Yes, the trailer is available to watch below. There are also some first look images.

Inside The New Universal Attraction That's Dedicated to Spooky Season All Year Round
For some of us, Halloween isn’t strictly reserved for the month of October… It's a lifestyle. In my heart, it's a spooky season all year long. And that could be attributed to the fact that I’ve been visiting the country’s premier Halloween event, Universal’s Halloween Horror Nights since its inception in 1991. And now that legendary event has been reimagined at an entirely new level, inspiring a year-round attraction in Las Vegas.
Universal Horror Unleashed is a large-scale, year-round horror experience located in Sin City’s entertainment and arts hub, AREA15. The first-of-its-kind, year-round attraction is helmed by the masters of haunts at Universal Destinations & Experiences.

@theshayspenceUniversal Horror Unleashed in Las Vegas—here’s my ranking of all the houses. Thank you @Universal Horror Unleashed for hosting me and spooking me. Happy Halloween friends #hhn #lasvegas #universalstudios #halloween #hauntedhouse #vegastok
♬ Spooky Ooky - NotYeti What is Universal Horror Unleashed?Universal Horror Unleashed is a pioneering, immersive attraction that features multiple experiences, shopping and themed dining all housed under one roof. Once the brave step into the “abandoned” production warehouse, they’ll discover the heartbeat of its operations: four haunted mazes (another term for 'haunted house') that employ film-level quality sets, just like those found at Halloween Horror Nights. Inside, you’ll step into the worlds of “Universal Monsters,” “Blumhouse’s The Exorcist: Believer,” “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” and “Scarecrow: The Reaping.”
Related: Guests Will Notice Major Changes at Universal Orlando
The scale of these is astonishing, and you truly feel like you’ve stepped into a movie. Bringing it to life are professional actors who provide the thrills (and plenty of jump scares). I appreciated the use of both original and beloved horror stories—there's something for both classic horror fans, like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," and for fans of new blockbusters, like those from Blumhouse. These haunted houses allowed the ability to dive deeper into these beloved stories. Universal is the film studio that kicked off the horror genre many years ago, and it's a fitting tribute to its decades legacy.
What else is there to do?What surprised me most is that while the haunted house-style attractions were no doubt a draw, there’s plenty of other things to do, making it a multi-hour experience and beefing up the value. Across four themed areas, there’s quick and full-service dining options for when your darkest cravings hit, including a Blumhouse-themed restaurant as well as bar venues with craft cocktails.
In Jack’s Alley, I came face to face with the original (and sinister) Universal character amongst an eerie carnival setting. And for merchandise lovers (guilty!), there’s unique and exclusive Las Vegas-themed items to pick from. There’s a reason to visit again and again as the attraction hosts seasonal offerings, like a Krampus-themed Christmas celebration & Feaster Grievings with a haunting version of the Easter bunny.

VerdictAs someone who has visited Las Vegas dozens of times and tried many of the attractions and entertainment offerings, this is the one I can’t wait to return to. With its groundbreaking nature, this is something that only the masters of horror could pull off to this degree and scale. The AREA15 District is worth a visit alone when heading to Las Vegas. It's a purpose-built immersive entertainment district that also houses Meow Wolf’s acclaimed Omega Mart (another must visit!).
How to VisitLocated minutes from the famed Las Vegas Strip, tickets can be purchased in advance of visit and admission starts at $49. There’s also a special discounted “Fraidy Cat” ticket that includes admission to the venue but skips the haunted houses and a discount for Nevada residents. And since you’re in Vegas, why not splurge on the VIP Experience Package. Perfect for the high roller, this includes perks, like special access and a private host.

'MasterChef's Gordon Ramsay Roasts ‘Half-Naked’ Contestant in Wild Sneak Peek (Exclusive)
MasterChef Season 16 is the "Global Gauntlet" season, meaning the best home cooks from the USA will represent four territories across the globe: Americas, Europe, Africa, and Asia-Pacific in hopes of becoming America’s next MasterChef.
Tonight’s audition episode features eight chefs with Asia-Pacific heritages competing for only five aprons. Parade has an exclusive first look when host/judge Gordon Ramsay meets 23-year-old Daniel from Johns Creek, GA, for the first time.
“This is a kitchen, not a gym,” Gordon says when he sees how Daniel is dressed.
An insouciant Daniel responds, “It can be both.”
Spying Daniel’s folks, Gordon says, “Tell your parents to dress you properly.”
Daniels’s mom, Shirley, is thrilled to shake hands with Gordon, and Gordon tells her, “Your son is half naked. My three daughters are watching.”
Daniel quips, “Tell them I say hi.”
“Hold on,” Gordon cautions. “This is not a dating kitchen. It’s a kitchen for cooking. Give me 10 press-ups.”
Daniel gets down and accommodates Gordon, showing off how in shape he is.

Then it’s down to the actual business of cooking. Daniel is making a tofu ricotta ravioli for his audition, one of the first dishes his mom taught him how to make.
“It’s fragrant from those Schezwan peppers. So it’s floral, it’s hot, it’s spicy,” Gordon says.
“I’m making the ravioli from scratch. The dough is resting right now. The filling is in the freezer. It’s going to be amazing,” Daniel says.
But is it going to be amazing enough to earn Daniel a white apron? Tune in to MasterChef: Global Gauntlet tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX to find out. Streams next day on Hulu.

‘King of Late Night’ Announced His Retirement 35 Years Ago Today
The late-night entertainment landscape was never the same again after Johnny Carson made a simple, heartbreaking announcement 35 years ago today.
The award-winning host had been entertaining households since he took over the iconic The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson on October 1, 1962, after replacing Jack Paar.
For almost 30 years, viewers tuned in to watch Carson share the stage with a remarkable lineup of guests, including legends like Burt Reynolds, George Carlin, Joan Rivers and Jonathan Winters among many others.
However, on April 22, 1991, the then-65-year-old host announced his retirement from the show.
Following months of speculation about his future on the iconic show, Carson, who had long hinted at his retirement, made it official during an NBC affiliates meeting at Carnegie Hall.

The host, famously dubbed the “King of Late Night,” only informed the public on May 22 of that year that his final appearance would take place in 1992, bringing an end to his 30-year reign in late-night television.
Carson’s announcement sparked a high-stakes competition for his replacement between fellow hosts Jay Leno and David Letterman to succeed him. Eventually, it was Leno who replaced him as the host of The Tonight Show.

— DrPopCulture (@DrPopCultureUSA) April 22, 2025In 1992, the day came for Carson to officially step back. Rather than a celebrity-filled final episode, the studio had no guests and instead highlighted his favorite moments on the show.
At the time, the host sat on a stool as he said his goodbye with a heartfelt closing monologue.
"I can only tell you that it has been an honor and a privilege to come into your homes all these years and entertain you," he said. Adding "And I hope when I find something that I want to do and I think you would like and come back, that you'll be as gracious in inviting me into your home as you have been. I bid you a very heartfelt good night."
The finale episode was reportedly watched by around 50 to 55 million viewers, as cited by the Television Academy, making it one of the highest-rated late-night broadcasts in history.
Ten years after his last appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, Carson passed away on Jan. 23, 2005, at the age of 79. The cause of death was reportedly respiratory arrest due to complications from emphysema.

Queen Elizabeth 100th Birthday Celebration Marked By Rare Royal Moment
The royal family marked the 100th birthday of the late Queen Elizabeth by gathering for a rare royal moment.
According to Town & Country, all the current working senior royals were photographed together, marking the milestone occasion. The last time the family were photographed as a group was during King Charles' coronation in 2023.
Included in the image were Princess Alexandria, the Duke of Kent, Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester, Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, Kate Middleton, Prince William, King Charles, Camilla Parker Bowles, Princess Anne, Prince Edward, and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh.
Missing from the photograph was Princess Anne's husband, Sir Timothy Laurence. He is not a senior working royal, therefore he was not included in the image shared to the royal family's Instagram account.

Additionally, the queen's son, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his wife, Sarah Ferguson, were noticeably absent. So were their daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie.

Royal watchers shared their thoughts about the historic event. They posted their remarks in the comments section of the royal family's Instagram post.
One follower wrote, "Lovely photo. I wonder why Prince Michael of Kent and his wife were not present? I know they retired from public life and were not fully working royals but they represented the crown in the past, and Prince Michael was first cousin of the late Queen."
"Wonderful, just such a shame the late queens other grandchildren aren’t included. Celebrating her majesty’s memory should not be consigned purely to working royals," claimed a second Instagram user.

A third social media follower penned, "Where is the rest of the family? The Queen always celebrated with ALL her family. Family is family unconditionally."
"I am happy to see the family reunited; it is a larger family than those present in the photo, and the Queen dedicated herself to them all while fulfilling her role with an unwavering sense of duty. She was incredible," summarized a fourth royal watcher.
Queen Elizabeth turned 100 years old on April 21. The monarch died on September 8, 2022.

The Real Reason Sydney Sweeney’s Big Scene Was Cut From 'The Devil Wears Prada 2'
Sydney Sweeney has been officially cut from The Devil Wears Prada 2. Sources at Entertainment Weekly confirm the Euphoria star filmed a three-minute sequence playing herself, only for the footage to end up in the digital trash bin.
In the original script, we found Emily Blunt’s Emily Charlton running the show at Dior. Sweeney was meant to be her high-maintenance client. Picture the racks of couture and the buzz of a celebrity fitting. It was supposed to be our introduction to Emily’s new life of power. But when the producers looked at the final cut, the pacing lagged. The three-minute bit felt like a detour. So, they hit delete.
Disney and Sweeney’s people haven't made an official comment. The word is the production team liked the star's work, but didn’t want to sacrifice the film’s overall rhythm.
The sequel finds Anne Hathaway's Andy Sachs back in the orbit of the devil herself. Meryl Streep's boss from hell, editor Miranda Priestly is staring down a media world that doesn't care about print anymore. The magazine is bleeding cash. It’s messy. Andy and Nigel have to beg Emily to leave her throne at Dior to help them fix the wreckage.
Sweeney is everywhere right now. Between the new season of Euphoria and the American Eagle "great jeans" drama, she’s one of the internet's favorite subjects. "I was honestly surprised by the reaction," Sweeney said previously. "I did it because I love the jeans and love the brand. I don't support the views some people chose to connect to the campaign. Many have assigned motives and labels to me that just aren't true."
The film has plenty of star power: Lady Gaga is still in. She’s got a cameo and a new track called "Runway" featuring Doechii. The original gang is back too, Tracie Thoms and Tibor Feldman are reprising their roles from the 2006 hit.

Director Reveals How the Destroyed Razor Crest Is Back in 'The Mandalorian & Grogu'
The return of the Razor Crest in The Mandalorian & Grogu has puzzled fans ever since the ship appeared in early footage and merchandising. After all, Din Djarin’s original gunship was obliterated in Season 2 of The Mandalorian, seemingly ending its story for good.
Now, director Jon Favreau has given a clear answer, and it’s simpler than many theories suggested.
The Razor Crest in the upcoming film isn’t the same ship brought back from destruction. It’s a different vessel of the same model, part of an arrested Imperial warlord's collection that was confiscated.
Even though it uses the original sets, Favreau says the intent is that the Imperial modded it out, stripped it down, and essentially turned it into a hot rod, something that has always been at the center of Star Wars creator George Lucas' heart.
The Razor Crest was always reflection of Din’s life on the fringes, just as much a home as a ship. Reintroducing it as a 'new'' ship preserves that identity while allowing the story to move forward without undoing the emotional weight of its destruction.
It also opens the door for something else entirely, a redesigned version of a fan-favorite icon.
Behind the scenes, Favreau and his collaborators approached the Razor Crest and other elements in the film in as practical way as was reasonable. Instead of relying solely on digital effects, the production built detailed miniatures and full-scale sets to preserve the Star Wars universe's lived-in feel.

That commitment to practical filmmaking extends across the project. Physical models are still being used for certain shots, sometimes scanned into digital environments to preserve their texture and scale. In some cases, the team has even incorporated stop-motion animation from legendary effects artist Phil Tippett, using techniques that helped define the original trilogy.
The result is a blend of old and new that mirrors the Razor Crest itself. Just as the ship returns in a different form, the filmmaking combines modern technology with time-tested methods that audiences recognize and love.
For longtime fans, that may be the real story. The Razor Crest is back, but not by rewriting the past. Instead, The Mandalorian & Grogu uses its return to reinforce something Star Wars has always understood: the future works best when it’s built on what came before.

Top 5 'Fancy' Disney Spots That Will Make You Forget You're at a Theme Park
Walt Disney World is synonymous with fantasy, fun and Dole whip. But it also happens to be an unexpected food hotbed for the discerning diner. Many are surprised to learn that the “most magical place on Earth” is also home to Michelin-star dining, award-winning food festivals and applauded sommelier-led wine programs.
I’ve been visiting Disney Parks for over 30 years, clocking in over 500 visits and along the way dining at hundreds of its restaurants. I’m so serious about my theme park eats that I’m penning an entire book about it (The Unofficial Disney Parks Retro Cookbook/HarperCollins Fall 2026).
And during my tenure as an aspiring theme-park dining scholar, I’ve discovered what I like to call the finer side of magic: fancy spots to enjoy while in the house of the mouse. Here, we’re trading our Mickey ears for fanciful attire and foie gras. Whether you’re on a romantic vacation or doing an adults-only trip, here are the top five fancy spots at Walt Disney World (and one deserving honorable mention.)

View this post on Instagram Victoria & Albert’sFor the true Mickey white-glove treatment, the ultimate Walt Disney World bucket list is Victoria & Albert’s at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa. It proudly holds the distinction of being the first American theme park restaurant to earn a Michelin star. You won’t believe you’re within ear shot of Cinderella Castle as you indulge in a multi-hour, multi-course tasting menu. Think: A5 wagyu, fresh seafood, attentive service and even a personal velvet tuffet to hold your purse. The AAA Five Diamond award-winning restaurant also has a water sommelier, 500-bottle wine collection, and even a zero-proof cocktail pairing option. It’s worth the small mortgage payment you’ll have to fork over for at least once in your lifetime.

Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney WorldI’ve stayed at every Walt Disney World resort hotel and dozens of properties nearby. And still, there’s simply nothing like the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World located within the ultra-exclusive Golden Oak neighborhood.
Oozing luxury, hotel guests are treated to a remarkable oasis with incredible on-site dining, including the Michelin-star awarded Capa with stunning rooftop firework views, and a standout adults-only pool. Some rooms even have an in-room wine dispense. You’ll truly feel like you’re living in Fantasyland when your private chauffeur shuttles you to Magic Kingdom Park.
Club 33Any Disney fan has likely heard of Club 33, the ultra-exclusive, members-only club located in each of Walt Disney World’s four theme parks. While I can’t indulge how I’ve been (and no photos or videos can be taken inside), I’ve been to each and can attest they live up to the hype surrounding—and then some. Each are uniquely themed, and my favorite remains Magic Kingdom’s version with a you-have-to-see-it-to-believe-it 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea-themed Lounge. If you can score an invite, you’ll truly be living happily ever after.

Monsieur PaulMichelin may have only recently come a-knocking to Walt Disney World, but various culinary pursuits have been paving the way for decades. Located at Epcot, Monsieur Paul has some serious culinary pedigree. And you might ask yourself, how did one of America’s most significant French restaurants end up at Disney? Opened by acclaimed French chef Paul Bocuse, Monsieur Paul flies largely under the radar because it's located inside of a theme park. With an impressive wine program and carefully curated chef's tasting menu, the Walt Disney World restaurant would be loudly applauded if it was in the likes of New York, Los Angeles or Chicago.
Here, you won't find Mickey Mouse or DOLE whip, but impeccable French architecture and snapper en écailles—the dish that first landed Chef Bocuse on the culinary map and was part of his success in being the only chef to keep three Michelin stars for over five decades. First opened in 1984, it remains one of the most significant French restaurants in American history, introducing the palate to Bocuse's pioneering nouvelle cuisine.

It’s widely known for it incredible cocktail program (try the avocadomargarita) and its impressive selection of tequila. Fostering strong relationships with various makers, they’re on the pulse of what’s exciting in the world of tequila. And for the ultimate theme park activity splurge, the La Cava Experience is a private, guided journey into tequila. Call it ‘edutainment.’ During this small group class led by a tequila expert, you’ll learn about the different types of tequila while tasting your way through premium pours.

And its centerpiece is Jiko, an upscale restaurant that houses the largest collection of South African wines outside of South Africa. Pretty impressive stuff. And promise me you’ll order the bone-marrow crusted filet mignon with irresistible four-cheese macaroni.

These Popular Retirement States Are at the Greatest Risk for Natural Disaster Insurance Hikes
It's no secret that some states seem more prone to natural disasters than others. And while homeowners' insurance can help protect your property from expensive damages caused by things like wind or wildfires, that added layer of financial help comes at a cost. A cost which some experts say is likely to increase over the years, as the price to rebuild continues to increase.
So, which states are most likely to see an increase in the cost of homeowners' insurance? I spoke with some pros to find out what they thought, and what kind of hike you can expect to see when it happens.
CaliforniaAccording to Brandi Richard Thompson, founder of Operation Prepare and former Federal Emergency Management Official, California is among those states with the highest disaster risk exposure. "Wildfire is the most costly and rapidly escalating threat," she says. "The state has experienced five of its ten most destructive wildfires in the last decade, with rebuilding costs in the billions."
2025's Palisades and Eaton fires alone caused an estimated $30 billion or more in insured losses, according to Richard Thompson, who notes that earthquake risk also remains ever-present, though insurers price that through separate policies.

FloridaFlorida is almost synonymous with hurricanes at this point, which Richard Estrella, VP of Operations at Estrella Insurance, says earns it a spot on this list. Although hurricanes alone aren't the only things likely to prompt a rate hike for folks living in The Sunshine State, Estrella says tornadoes, windstorms, and flooding remain major risks.
While he can't say exactly how much insurance could go up, he says residents in the state could expect small increases, depending on how legislative changes from 2023 pan out. "A severe storm season will likely drive increases, while a mild season could lead to stabilization or even slight decreases," he says, noting that Florida homeowners have experienced increases of more than 50 percent in recent years. "There should be a gradual and steady correction over time, assuming no major catastrophic events."
TexasThey say everything is bigger in Texas, and it appears that saying applies to rate hikes as well. "This state faces the broadest hazard diversity in the country," according to Richard Thompson, who highlights hurricanes along the Gulf Coast, tornado activity across North and Central Texas, severe flooding statewide, and increasingly destructive winter storms. "The 2021 freeze demonstrated how a single event can overwhelm infrastructure and trigger massive claims."
LouisianaThe state was ravaged by Katrina back in 2005, and that seemed to kick off a string of devastating storms that caused insurance companies to revisit just how much it costs to purchase homeowners' insurance in the state.
"Repeated hurricane landfalls have caused multiple private insurers to exit the state market entirely, pushing more homeowners onto the state's insurer of last resort," Richard Thompson says. "Hurricanes Laura (2020), Ida (2021), and ongoing flood exposure have created a compounding coverage crisis."
Related: This State Was Just Named the Worst Place To Retire in the U.S.
ColoradoWhile the state of Colorado may not be one that springs to mind when it comes to natural disasters, Richard Thompson says that it's no stranger to destruction. "Front Range communities face growing wildfire and hail exposure," she says. "The Marshall Fire (2021) destroyed over 1,000 structures in suburban Louisville and Superior, demonstrating that wildfire risk is no longer limited to rural or mountainous areas."
Not only that, Richard Thompson says Colorado's severe hail events also generate billions in annual insured losses, highlighting the many different disasters the state can face in a single year.
How Can You Prepare for Insurance Rate HikesWhile it may feel like an insurance increase is almost inevitable, given the destruction many of these states see each year, Richard Thompson says homeowners aren't without recourse and that the conversation about insurance costs cannot be separated from the conversation about preparedness.
"The homeowners who fare best, both financially and emotionally, after a disaster are the ones who prepared before the event," she says. According to her, that means:
- Having a current home inventory
- Understanding your coverage gaps
- Investing in mitigation options
"The insurance market is telling us through pricing that risk is rising," she continues. "Homeowners who listen to that signal and act on it will be in a far stronger position than those who wait for the next disaster to reveal what they did not know about their policy."

Is ‘Survivor 50’ on Tonight? (April 22, 2026) Episode 9 Date, Time and Channel
Survivor 50 is far from over, but it's brought its fair share of historic moments. One of them we experienced last week in the form of the "Double Duo" twist as, for the first time in the show's history, players were voted out as a pair. And, even though the game has turned individual, with an influence from Jimmy Fallon, and even Jeff Probst himself participating in a challenge, we are clearly still in unprecedented waters.
Find out if Survivor 50 is on tonight, and how and when to watch Episode 9.
Yes! Survivor 50 will be airing a brand-new episode this week on Wednesday, April 22.
What time is Survivor on?New episodes of Survivor air at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

What channel is Survivor on?You can watch episodes of Survivor on CBS. But for those who cut the cord, you can enjoy watching the show live on Paramount+ with the Premium plan. The streamer makes new episodes on demand the next day and has a catalog of all 49 other seasons. You can also watch Survivor live on streaming services that come with CBS, such as Hulu + Live TVFubo TV, and YouTubeTV. Paramount+ Premium plan starting at $8.99 per month.
Who was voted off in the last episode of Survivor 50?Chrissy HofbeckChrissy Hofbeck has been itching to rewrite her Survivor story. The Season 35 runner-up felt her game was actively hampered by a last-minute twist and her lack of social connections with her cast. And, after facing a cancer scare, she was ready to prove she had the skills necessary to win the game, and truly prove what a "survivor" means in more ways than one.
Unfortunately, like many people this season, Chrissy found herself falling into old habits, despite being almost a decade removed from Survivor. Her command around camp and compulsory "mothering" her tribe wore thin early on, making her an initial target. Luckily, Chrissy did not attend Tribal Council in the premerge, and by the time the merge hit, she had found solidarity among the old-schoolers. And, with a tepid numbers advantage at the Final 13, Chrissy was feeling good about her chances of going deep again.
That all got thrown out, however, when Chrissy wound up paired with Coach for this week's twist. It was fitting, in a way, a fun culmination of the unique relationship they had on the island. He told her at the swap, in no uncertain terms, to calm down, and that she would have gone home if they went to Tribal Council. She was now urging him to do the same, grounding him in the hammock to avoid getting into more trouble. Unfortunately for Chrissy, the die had been cast. The appeal of getting rid of her and Coach in one fell swoop was too tantalizing to resist. And so, yet again, Chrissy's chance at the win was ended due to a last-minute, never-before-seen twist.

The vibes were immaculate on Benjamin "Coach" Wade going into Survivor 50. Old-school players were looking to play with a man who staked his game on honor and integrity. New era players salivated at the idea of interacting with the "Dragon Slayer." And Coach himself proclaimed himself a changed man, someone who was finally ready to play to win. And he immediately proved himself wrong within hours of the game.
Sent to "Fight for Supplies" on Exile Island, Coach immediately mended fences with his old nemesis Ozzy Lusth. But, minutes later, he reopened that wound, spilling more bad blood out when he seemingly snaked the key away from Ozzy's clutches. When word began spreading of Coach's underhanded deed, he loudly proclaimed on the mat that they would be experiencing the same old Coach they were used to — feathers, warts and all. And, for what it's worth, Coach seemed to be in a fantastic position the rest of the premerge. Despite his over-the-top nature, he seemed to make genuine connections with people, making him the surprising social hub going into the merge.
Coach knew the best way to move forward in the individual game was to keep a low profile, especially early on. But it's clear from watching him play over 100 days that that's not who he is at his core. He was feeling as short with Dee Valladares as the haikus he was writing, and decided to lead the charge to go after her. The only problem was, while he fashioned himself the "general," the others weren't entirely happy being his troops. So it was no surprise, after running around the beach like a madman the previous day, his name was in many people's mouths come the next vote. As much as Coach tried to ground himself (literally), his game lived and died in the hammock. He had incidentally conducted his own swan song, taking him and Chrissy out of the game.

28 Years Ago, This Female Country Star Took Over the ACM Awards
28 years ago today on April 22, 1998, Trisha Yearwood reached another milestone in her already celebrated career, winning Top Female Vocalist of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards.
By the late '90s, Yearwood, 61, had firmly established herself as one of country music’s most powerful and consistent voices. Known for her emotional delivery and genre-crossing appeal, the win recognized a run of success that included hits like "How Do I Live" and "Perfect Love," as well as her growing influence beyond traditional country.

A Night Full of Country Music HeavyweightsYearwood wasn’t the only star honored that night. George Strait took home Top Male Vocalist of the Year, further cementing his legacy as one of the genre’s most enduring figures. Meanwhile, Brooks & Dunn were named Top Vocal Duo or Group, continuing their dominance throughout the decade.
Rising talent also had a moment in the spotlight, with Kenny Chesney winning Top New Male Vocalist of the Year—an early sign of the massive career he would go on to build.
One of the night’s biggest highlights came from Faith Hill and Tim McGraw, whose duet "It’s Your Love" earned both Song of the Year and Country Music Video of the Year, capturing the attention of fans across genres.
A Defining Era for Country MusicThe 1998 ceremony reflected a moment when country music was expanding its reach, blending traditional sounds with crossover appeal. Artists like Yearwood were at the center of that evolution, balancing heartfelt storytelling with mainstream success.
