Gilmore Girls is one of those TV shows that has stood the test of time. In addition to the years-long tradition of fans returning to the show each fall for a re-watch, many within the fanbase have gone on to share the show with their own children, keeping the spirit of Lorelai and Rory Gilmore and their unique, lovable mother-daughter dynamic alive. It should, therefore, be no surprise that we're not done with the show yet.

Announced yesterday, Lorelai actress Lauren Graham is working on a brand-new Gilmore Girls project, a documentary on the show, alongside show creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and executive producer Daniel Palladino, although both the title and the official release date are currently unknown.

The documentary is already in production with HBO Max and will, according to the Warner Bros. press release, reveal "...how the show eclipsed expectations to become a cross-generational phenomenon by unpacking the unique alchemy of the creators, cast, crew and collaborators." The film will include "...never-before-seen outtakes, behind-the-scenes footage and script pages."

While there is, of course, plenty of excitement for the upcoming documentary, this news has led to a flood of comments and posts on social media, and many are repeating the same thing. Namely, many fans want to see a new season of the show, not a documentary.

On Entertainment Weekly's Instagram post about the documentary, numerous comments reflect exactly that. One comment reads, "We want another season!!!! 😭 To witness Rory as a mom and Lorelai as a grandma." Another comment says, "We don’t need a documentary! We need a new season please!!!!!!🙏." A slightly more (seemingly) frustrated comment says, "A documentary? Oh, please... Who needs a documentary when we still need another season of Gilmore Girls? We want another season. We need another season. Netflix left us with such a cliffhanger—we're still waiting for the story to continue."

The latter comment is a reference to Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, the limited Netflix series comprising just four episodes that, at the very end, revealed (spoiler alert, but it has been 10 years) that Rory is pregnant. The show did not confirm who the father is, which has led to a literal decade of debates and theories within the fanbase—although, it's worth noting, most people think it's Rory's ex from the original show, Logan.

With such a massive question left hanging at the end of A Year in the Life, fans of the show are understandably anxious to get more episodes or some sort of direct follow-up to the story. It's unclear at this stage whether that will eventually come out or if the documentary is the end of the road.

Another day, another food-borne recall. Following what seems like an endless summer of Cyclospora outbreaks linked to iceberg lettuce that have now spread to at least 47 states, the CDC announced a recall of jalapeño peppers used at Chipotle Mexican Grill due to possible Salmonella contamination. But it doesn’t end there.

Almost immediately after Chipotle pulled its peppers, the CDC updated the Salmonella outbreak information to include jalapeños also used at Qdoba restaurants. So if you’re craving something spicy, now is not the best time for a takeout meal.

Why did the CDC add Qdoba to the recall?

While the initial recall focused on jalapeños sold at Chipotle, the CDC’s updated guidance states that Qdoba may have also served the peppers. 

Qdoba recently released a statement on the recall, sharing, “Qdoba is cooperating with public health authorities as they pursue an active investigation into an outbreak of Salmonella Javiana. Out of an abundance of caution, we have proactively removed jalapeños from all our restaurants at this time.”

Are the recalled jalapeños in grocery stores?

As of now, the FDA is investigating whether the jalapeños were sold to grocery stores. 

The current recall is for peppers grown in Sinaloa, Mexico, and distributed by Coast Citrus Distributors. This company primarily sells jalapeños to restaurants and wholesalers. 

Has anyone gotten Salmonella from Qdoba?

Qdoba has proactively removed the jalapeños from restaurants. While the recent outbreak includes 345 cases and 36 hospitalizations across 27 states, according to the CDC, there is no confirmed evidence that any of these infections were caused by peppers from Qdoba. 

The CDC notes, “Given their actions to remove the product from the stores, CDC and FDA do not consider there to be a current ongoing risk from these establishments to consumers in this outbreak.” 

Qdoba assured customers of the company’s commitment to consumer safety in a press release, explaining, “We take any report involving guest health seriously and are committed to responding appropriately based on the facts and guidance from public health authorities.”

The statement continued, “Food safety is our highest priority. We maintain rigorous food safety standards and work closely with our suppliers, distribution partners, and restaurant teams to help ensure the safety and quality of the food we serve.” 

What is Salmonella?

Salmonella is a bacterial intestinal disease that happens after consuming infected food or contaminated water. Per the CDC, symptoms can start between six hours and six days after exposure. 

Symptoms typically include diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fever. While most healthy individuals recover within four to seven days, children under ahe five, adults 65 and over, and anyone with a weakened immune system are at risk for complications. If you think you may have a Salmonella infection, contact your medical provider ASAP.

Michael B. Jordan finally met the grandmother who claimed him as family.

The Sinners star surprised 89-year-old Mary Story with a heartfelt FaceTime call after her viral photo wall featuring the actor as her "grandson" captured the hearts of millions.

Story first went viral after her granddaughter shared a video revealing that the Tulsa, Oklahoma woman had added Jordan's framed magazine photo to her family collage and proudly told relatives he was her grandson. After sending her a thoughtful jewelry gift in June, the Oscar winner took things one step further with a FaceTime call, thanking his newfound "granny" for welcoming him into the family—and even teasing that he might show up at their next reunion.

“Thank you so much for all the love you’ve been showing,” he told Story via FaceTime in an Instagram reel that went viral. “You’ve got a beautiful family. Thanks for including me in the collage, in the family pictures.”

As Story showed Jordan his place in the family photo, he remarked, “I got a good little place right there,” which included President Barack Obama and Story's other family members.

Story's daughter was also present for the epic FaceTime call, saying that Jordan was "truly the man of the year here." But always humble, Jordan replied, “No problem, I just love seeing three generations of beautiful Black women. This is great. Y’all are amazing. So much strength, especially from Tulsa. I’ve never been to Tulsa before.”

Jordan may soon be making good on his promise to check Tulsa off his bucket list. Story's granddaughter, who was also present for the call, invited Jordan to visit the family. “I might just surprise y’all,” Jordan replied.

After Story’s viral moment, Jordan’s team sent her a David Yurman bracelet and necklace featuring her birthstone, amethyst. Story and Jordan also discovered they share February birthdays just six days apart. Her granddaughter Natalie Sims said Jordan’s kindness made him family, writing that his generosity “is not lost on us.”

GLP-1 drugs are a medical breakthrough and life-changing for many people, but losing a lot of weight quickly can alter the face, causing it to look gaunt and the area under the eyes to look hollow.

This is because the buccal fat around the cheekbones and the subcutaneous fat in the face "maintains our skin's integrity, structure and plumpness," Dr. Katrina Mattingly, the chief medical officer of Option Medical Weight Losspreviously told Parade.

The under-eye area is particularly vulnerable to rapid weight loss since the fat pads there give it a smooth, supported appearance. Quickly losing that fat faster than the overlying skin can tighten may create a hollow that casts a shadow, which makes the area look tired regardless of how much sleep you're getting.

For people who reach for makeup to help with the shadows, they'll find that some concealer techniques don't really work. Concealer is primarily designed for dark circles or puffiness, and can't add volume.

As a result, "most people try to create a mask under the entire eye rather than focusing on the darkest area first and blending to bring balance," says celebrity makeup artist and co-founder of Halo42 Skincare, Tim Quinn, who has worked with Diane Lane and Alana Stewart.

"It is about the play of light rather than completely covering the area, so keep the texture looking skin-like," he recommends. Below, Quinn reveals his full tutorial on how to apply concealer when rapid weight loss has made your eyes look hollow.

How To Prep the Skin Before Applying Concealer

Dry skin under the eyes is one of the most common reasons concealer settles, creases and draws attention to the spots you're trying to minimize. Hydrating first gives the product something smooth to sit on.

"On cleansed skin, massage a drop of eye oil, such as Halo42, onto the ocular bone to wake up the skin, and follow with a lightweight eye cream like Alastin Restorative Eye Cream," Quinn says. "Massaging the area with your fingers or a copper eye roller helps with product absorption."

Should you use a color corrector before concealer?

Yes—and Quinn considers it essential for hollow under-eyes. "A cream-based color corrector in peach or pinky rose helps neutralize the darkest areas before applying concealer to balance the skin tone," he says.

His go-to: The Neutralizer Pencil from Jones Road, which comes in several shades and "you can draw it directly into the hollow before following with concealer," he tells Parade. "The corrector neutralizes the darkest areas, and the concealer seamlessly blends the color to match your skin tone."

Another product Quinn recommends is Bye Bye Under Eye by IT Cosmetics—a medium-to-full coverage formula with a luminous finish that doesn't settle into texture.

How To Apply Concealer to Hollow Under-Eyes

Focus on the darkest part of the hollow, usually the inner corner and the deepest shadow, rather than covering the entire under-eye area. Filling in the whole area can make it look heavier rather than brighter, Quinn says.

To apply, he uses a damp mini beauty blender: "After squeezing out the excess water, apply the concealer or corrector directly from the applicator, then use the pointed end of the blender to tap—not swipe—the product to blend it in," he explains.

Tapping rather than swiping is preferred since swiping drags product around and thins it out; tapping presses it into the skin for better coverage with less product and far less risk of creasing.

How To Use Highlight To Lift the Area

After addressing the darkness with concealer, use a highlighting product to create brightness above and below the hollow. This redirects the eye rather than trying to make the shadow disappear entirely. It's a more realistic and more effective approach than full coverage.

"Adding a subtle highlight under the brow and on the high points of the cheekbones helps draw attention up and away from the under-eye area," Quinn tells Parade.

How To Set Concealer Without Making It Look Cakey

Setting is necessary to keep concealer in place, but the wrong powder—applied in the wrong way—can dry out the under-eye area and make fine lines more visible. Quinn's method? "Set the product with a light-reflecting, lightweight powder, like Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder, applied only to the darkest area using a small, fluffy brush," he recommends.

The key word is "only." Powdering the entire under-eye area can leave it looking flat and dry. Applying powder selectively—just where the concealer sits, not across the whole zone—keeps the rest of the area looking natural and skin-like.

The Biggest Mistake To Avoid

The most common mistake is applying too much product over the full under-eye area, Quinn warns.

Although it's tempting to try to cover everything, pinpointing the concealer where it's most needed will have a better effect overall. More product just means more product to settle into texture and creases. Practicing placement and application techniques will give you the most professional look.

An area rug is a great anchor piece, dictating the overall layout, decor and color scheme of a room. Especially in open-concept homes or smaller spaces, rugs act as a base and really carve out a space, creating both separation and definition between various zones. Area rugs can also help with furniture placement and provide a guideline for how you want to arrange your various pieces, including your bed, armchairs, desk and couch.

Rugs can definitely be pricey, however, but not always, especially if you know where to look. Take, for example, this beautiful option available at none other than Five Below right now. It retails for just $15, is durable and oh so stylish.

Peter Bonerz is celebrating a remarkable milestone.

The actor, director and longtime television favorite turns 88 on Aug. 6. While Bonerz built an impressive career both in front of and behind the camera, he'll forever be remembered as Dr. Jerry Robinson, the eccentric orthodontist on The Bob Newhart Show. Today, he also holds another distinction: Bonerz is the last surviving member of the sitcom's main cast.

Premiering in 1972, The Bob Newhart Show starred Bob Newhart as Chicago psychologist Dr. Bob Hartley alongside Suzanne Pleshette as his wife, Emily. Bonerz played Bob's close friend and fellow medical professional Jerry Robinson, while Bill Daily portrayed their delightfully scatterbrained neighbor Howard Borden and Marcia Wallace played sharp-witted receptionist Carol Kester. The acclaimed CBS comedy ran for six seasons and 142 episodes, becoming one of the defining sitcoms of the 1970s.

Newhart died in 2024 at age 94. Pleshette died in 2008 at age 70, Wallace died in 2013 at age 70 and Daily died in 2018 at age 91, leaving Bonerz as the final surviving member of the show's core ensemble.

'The Bob Newhart Show' Continues to Win Over New Generations

More than three decades after the series ended, Bonerz admitted he's still surprised by its lasting popularity.

"It never ceases to amaze me what the legacy is," he said during an interview with the Television Academy. "I can't put a finger on why it was such a special show, but it still is."

Bonerz said he still hears from fans who continue to discover the sitcom.

"I still get fan mail based on that show," he said. "I think it was effortless … there was a fondness for one another, there was an effortlessness about the show that I think still shows."

Ultimately, he credited the writing above everything else.

"I think if you really had to come up with one answer why it still holds up," Bonerz said, "I think if you really had to come up with one answer why is it still hold up, I think the writing was just flawless—not flawless but unparalleled."

Peter Bonerz Remembered a Cast That Felt 'Like a Good Family'

Bonerz said one of the show's greatest strengths was the chemistry among its ensemble, with each actor bringing a completely different energy to the screen.

"The cast was so incredibly balanced," he recalled, praising Newhart's understated style, Pleshette's sharp wit, Daily's wonderfully unpredictable performance and the memorable supporting characters who rounded out the series.

He also believed the show's central premise perfectly matched Newhart's comedic strengths.

"The idea of Newhart being a listener, I think, was the genius of the show," Bonerz said. "A psychologist is, by definition, a listener and if you go back in Bob's early material, he was always a listerner, a looker, a reactor, so they wrote it dead-on, smack perfectly."

Behind the scenes, Bonerz said filming was just as enjoyable.

"It was an easy set to work on," he recalled. "We were all very cognizant of how good these writers were."

The cast became close friends away from the cameras as well, regularly gathering after Friday night tapings to share dinner together.

Looking back, Bonerz said that's what he remembers most.

"My memory of the show was that it was just like being part of a good family," he said. "The whole thing was great."

Although audiences know him best as Jerry Robinson, Bonerz also became an integral part of The Bob Newhart Show behind the camera, directing 29 episodes beginning in 1974. He later went on to direct more than 350 television episodes, including nearly 100 episodes of Murphy Brown as well as installments of Home Improvement, Friends, Wings, NewsRadio, ALF and Joey.

Reflecting on that chapter of his career, Bonerz said his goal was always simple: "Keeping it fun on the set."

When you think of classic 1970s rock radio, a banjo isn't usually the first instrument that comes to mind. But in 1971, one Canadian group defied every industry rule with an impossibly catchy, acoustic-driven track that took over the airwaves.

The Stampeders had a huge hit with "Sweet City Woman." The song solidified its place as one of the most cheerful and unique hits of the AM Gold era, reaching No. 8 on the Billboard Charts.

Long before they were topping the charts, The Stampeders got their start in 1965 under a totally different name: The Redbounds. It wasn't until a year later that they officially rebranded as The Stampeders, as reported by Amplify.

During those years, the band gained traction with hits such as "Morning Magic" and "Crosswalk." In the late 1960s, the group, which included six members, trimmed down into a three-piece band that included Rich Dodson, Kim Berly, and Ronnie King.

Despite being widely celebrated as one of the biggest banjo-driven hits in rock history, "Sweet City Woman" almost didn't feature the instrument at all, mainly because nobody in the band actually played it.

Dodson told Amplify, “After ‘Carry Me’ came out, our distributor wanted the second single to be something really happenin.' We knew we wanted ‘Sweet City Woman,’ but the label was up and down about releasing it because of the banjo.”

He discussed the now-iconic solo for the band's LP Against the Grain. “I had originally written that part as a guitar lick,” he explained. “We were recording the album at Toronto Sound Studios, and one day, on the way over, I rented the banjo because I just thought it would sound cool. It really was that wide-open back then."

Dodson concluded, “In those days it was like, ‘Hey, maybe we should put a tuba on this track?’ But then someone would come along and say, ‘Oh, you can’t do that because you’ll never get played on CHUM-FM with a tuba on your record.’ Luckily, The Beatles had already gotten away with that sort of thing so I just went for it, banged that thing off in a couple of takes, and it was like, ‘Wow. That really works!’”

The French lyrics, "Bon, c'est bon..." were said to be the band's homage to the city of Montreal, according to Songfacts. The words translate into English as "Good, that's good."

The Stampeders are still together and actively touring following the March 2024 death of original bassist Ronnie King. Surviving co-founders Kim Berly and Rich Dodson continue to perform with bassist Dave Chobot.

Sam the Sham And The Pharaohs released the rock and roll song “Lil Red Riding Hood” in 1966. The song, which was told from the perspective of the Big Bad Wolf, reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified gold.

Domingo Samudio, who is known as Sam the Sham, left the music industry after reaching success with the song to work in the oil fields. He spoke about this controversial decision during an interview with Gary James. “You asked me why I would go back to the field,” he said. “After having won a Grammy, people would talk to me. ‘Have you got any music?’ I would come in with these songs, and they'd say, no, no, no, Sam. Bring me another 'Wooly Bully', another 'Lil Red Riding Hood', another this, another that. Why did I go to the oil fields? 'Cause I got tired of games.”

He continued, “I had the guts to say I'm not afraid of work, and it wasn't to go out and do some glory thing. I hired out anonymously 'cause I wanted to go back and re-visit reality.”

He also spoke about the other icons that the band had the opportunity to work with over the years, revealing, “We used to open for The Beach Boys. We did a lot of dates with The Beach Boys. Then we did multiple dates with different people. We did some different dates with Peter Asher and Gordon Waller, Peter and Gordon. That was it. We did the Steel Pier in Atlantic City. We did the White Sox Stadium, Wrigley Field in Chicago. We did Pasadena with Sonny Bono and Cher. We did some dates with James Brown. So, that's what we did.”

The band had another top 10 hit with their song “Wooly Bully,” which was named Billboard’s number one song of the year in 1965, even though it never actually reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song peaked at No. 2 while the top spot was occupied by “Help Me, Rhonda” from The Beach Boys and “Back in My Arms Again” from The Supremes.

Despite leaving The Valley, Jax Taylor still made his presence felt during Brittany Cartwright's appearance on Watch What Happens Live — by firing off a series of now-deleted Instagram comments disputing her claims.

Taylor and Cartwright, who are in the middle of a contentious divorce, are also navigating fresh drama after reports surfaced that Taylor is romantically involved with the couple's former publicist, Lori Krebs. During The Valley reunion and her subsequent Watch What Happens Live appearance, Cartwright discussed where she stands with Taylor and addressed the ongoing controversy.

Taylor quickly responded in the comments section of Instagram clips from the interview, many of which were later deleted.

One of Cartwright's comments centered on her relationship with fellow The Valley star Nia Sanchez-Booko, saying the two were in a good place. Taylor disputed that claim.

"Love Nia?" Taylor wrote on an Instagram post captured by Bravo fan account Reality Recap with Marissa. "You told me multiple times you hate them... How are you just lying like this... You have so many people fooled."

In another clip, Cartwright alleged that Taylor "harassed me on our parenting app constantly, but he just kinda fights with himself on there."

When host Andy Cohen asked whether Taylor and Krebs were still together, Cartwright replied, "I guess," before adding that Taylor "missed time with his son because he was in Canada."

Taylor vehemently denied the allegation.

"The amount of blatant lies in this interview is unbelievable. I have NEVER missed my scheduled parenting time with Cruz," he wrote.

He continued: "It's public record that I have him every Wednesday and weekends, and I was back in LA yesterday (Tuesday). Today, you refused to let me have my scheduled time with him because you're angry over personal matters and that's why we have an emergency court hearing tomorrow since you continue to weaponize my son against me. The truth will come out about everything when I finally have the opportunity to speak... and I have the receipts to back up everything I'm saying."

Taylor's comments come just days after Cartwright gave a scathing interview to People, saying she felt deeply betrayed after learning Taylor was dating Krebs, whom she considered both her publicist and one of her closest friends for a decade.

Cartwright alleged that Krebs supported her through her divorce and allegations of abuse before beginning a relationship with Taylor. She also claimed Krebs may have shared private information during the split. Krebs and Taylor's attorneys have strongly denied those allegations, disputed Cartwright's abuse claims, and maintained that Krebs acted professionally throughout her representation of both parties.

Cartwright said the situation has been devastating but remains focused on finalizing her divorce, protecting son Cruz, and moving forward with support from her friends and The Valley cast.

When it comes to pajamas, investing in a 100% cotton pair is always worth considering — especially when you find one at a great price. Cotton pajamas are naturally breathable, soft, and gentle on skin, while also offering the durability to hold up wash after wash. The only downside is that high-quality cotton sleepwear can often come with a much higher price tag, sometimes reaching $150 or more.

That’s what makes the Charter Club 2-Piece Cotton Printed Cropped Pajama Set such a standout find. Right now, it’s on sale for 55% off at Macy’s, bringing the price down from $45 to just $20 for a limited time. For a 100% cotton pajama set with a classic design, that’s an impressive value.

Available in sizes small through XXL, this set comes in four charming designs: navy blue with white polka dots, light pink floral, heather gray stripes, and light blue floral. Each option feels timeless and easy to wear, whether you prefer something playful or a little more understated. The set does run slightly large, so consider sizing down if you prefer a more fitted feel.

The design keeps comfort front and center with classic details that make it easy to relax in. The short-sleeve top features a round neckline and front button closures, while the cropped pants have pull-on styling and an elastic waistband for an easy, comfortable fit. The shorter length is also practical since it helps keep the pants from dragging on the floor.

Made from 100% cotton, this pajama set offers plenty of natural benefits. Cotton helps regulate temperature, allows airflow, and stays comfortable throughout the year, making it a great choice for warm summer nights or cozy evenings at home. It’s also a great option for anyone looking to choose natural fibers over synthetic materials like polyester.

Reviewers praised the comfort and design of this pajama set. One shopper shared, “These are very comfortable pajamas. I bought two sets earlier and liked them so much I bought another. I get hot in some clingy fabrics, but I stay cool in these.” 

Another described them as “very soft,” noting that they don’t pill or shrink. They added, “These are great for summer and all year round for that matter. They breathe and stay cool or warm depending on the season.”

Beyond being a great everyday upgrade, this pajama set also makes a thoughtful gift. The classic prints, soft cotton fabric, and polished design give it a more expensive feel than the price suggests. Coordinating pajamas can also make simple routines, like winding down at night or enjoying a slow morning at home, feel a little more special.

Actor Marcus Scribner, best known for playing Andre Johnson Jr. on the ABC comedy series Black-ish, has married his childhood sweetheart Gracie Globerman in a dinner-party ceremony at the Los Angeles restaurant République, with the nuptials featured in Vogue.

The pair first met in sixth grade at Emerson Middle School in Los Angeles. “I remember seeing her during one of our lunches over at the benches, thinking, Who is that?” Scribner said.

While they shared the same friend group, the two did not date during their middle school years. “Not many people look back fondly on their middle school days, but we both joke that those three years were our peak,” Globerman said. “Our archive consists of pictures of us trick-or-treating together, partying at Marcus’s iconic Halloween parties, and me absolutely towering over him at graduation.”

They lost touch during high school while Scribner worked on Black-ish, which ran for eight seasons on ABC and earned Scribner an NAACP Image Award. The two reconnected during their senior year of high school while volunteering at a mentoring event at Emerson.

“I saw her there and knew it was fate,” Scribner said. “I could finally grow a full mustache. I was feeling confident.” Because Globerman was in a relationship at the time, their romantic timeline was delayed. “So the long game continued,” Scribner said. “As soon as my homie hit me and told me they broke up, I sprang into action. The rest is history.”

Scribner proposed in August 2025, during a picnic at an arboretum in Davis, California, where Globerman attended college. For their wedding, the New York-based couple chose their hometown of Los Angeles so their grandparents could attend.

Globerman wore a vintage dress, brown Jimmy Choo shoes, and heirloom jewelry. Scribner wore a chocolate brown wool suit, Givenchy derby shoes, and an Oyster Steel Rolex. The couple spent the night before the wedding at the Chateau Marmont, where they shared vows in private.

The wedding day began with a traditional Jewish ketubah signing followed by a ceremony. The groom walked down the aisle to Laufey’s “From the Start,” while the bride walked to Lana Del Rey’s “Video Games.”

The reception featured a multicourse dinner, a yuzu olive oil cake, a DJ, a traditional hora, and late-night tacos. The following day, Scribner’s mother, Angela, hosted a post-wedding brunch at the family’s home.

By the mid-1970s, Lou Rawls was already a respected voice in R&B, but he was still searching for a runaway crossover smash.

That all changed in 1976 with a silky-smooth track that took over the airwaves. "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" fell just short of the No. 1 spot on the charts, but the near-miss did something far greater: it launched a legendary second act and gave the icon his ultimate signature song.

Rawls was a respected singer since the 1960s. Additionally, he was a backing vocalist for Sam Cooke. He later shifted into a solo career, but despite the Top 20 Billboard hits "Love is a Hurtin' Thing," "Your Good Thing (Is About to End) and "A Natural Man," the singer was still searching for the one hit song that would launch his career into superstar status.

Enter songwriters and Philadelphia International Records founders Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff. They saw Rawls' potential and wanted to make the best use of his amazing, low-register voice.

According to American Songwriter, Gamble and Huff wrote "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" specifically for the singer. It suited his voice, and the track worked well with the then-emerging disco sound, getting Rawls additional dance-club play. Songfacts reported that the song was recorded live, as that was how Rawls preferred.

Despite its huge popularity with listeners, the song was blocked from the top spot by Elton John and Kiki Dee's duet, "Don't Go Breaking My Heart." However, the tune did secure the No. 1 position on the R&B and Easy Listening charts.

"You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" tells the story of the end of a bittersweet romance. The track is a breakup warning to an ex who is walking away from a relationship, including the iconic lines, "I don’t wish you no bad luck, baby. But there’s no ifs and buts or maybes.”

According to the website Second Hand Songs, the iconic R&B hit has been either covered or sampled dozens of times since its release 50 years ago. Michael Bublé famously put his own spin on the song in 2003, featuring the tune on his self-titled debut album.

Rawls is a three-time Grammy Award winner. His golden statuettes came in 1968, 1972, and 1978 with an overall nomination count of 13. Additionally, he was nominated for a 1977 American Music Award in the category of Favorite Soul/R&B Song for "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine."

On January 6, 2006, Lou Rawls succumbed to a two-year fight with cancer. He was 72.

Congratulations are in order: Brooke Shields’ family has grown by four paws. Rowan Henchy, the 23-year-old eldest daughter of the actress and model, recently posted a TikTok video introducing a new puppy to her followers.

"So, there has been a really large development in the Shields-Henchy household," Henchy said at the start of the video before holding up a small puppy resting in her lap. "This is Shippy," Henchy said. An unidentified voice off-camera added, "She's perfect."

The video shows the puppy resting on Henchy while family members speak nearby. Shields, 61, has not yet posted independently about the new pet on her verified social media accounts. Shields shares Rowan and her younger daughter, Grier Henchy, 20, with her husband, screenwriter and producer Chris Henchy. The couple married in April 2001.

Rowan graduated from Wake Forest University in North Carolina in 2025. She has occasionally appeared alongside her mother at events, including red carpets and fashion shows, while maintaining an active presence on social media platforms like TikTok and Instagram.

Shields has spoken in interviews about the difficulties navigating her daughters' transitions into young adulthood, including sending Rowan off to college and managing an empty nest as both children pursued higher education and independent careers.

The household news comes during a busy professional period for Shields. She recently starred in the Netflixromantic comedyMother of the Bride, directed by Mark Waters, which premiered in May 2024. In the film, Shields played Lana, a mother traveling to a tropical resort destination for her daughter's surprise wedding, only to discover the groom's father is her former college boyfriend, played by Benjamin Bratt.

Beyond film and television acting, Shields serves as the president of Actors' Equity Association, the labor union representing more than 51,000 professional theater actors and stage managers across the United States. Shields has also launch her entrepreneurial career in recent years with the launch of Hair2wear, a hair extension line, and Commence, a haircare brand specifically formulated for women over 40.

The family has not shared additional details regarding the puppy's specific breed, age, or where they adopted her.

While vacationing in the Swiss Alps with his then-girlfriend, musician and bassist Paul McCartneysnuck away to a bathroom to write the song "For No One." McCartney talked in his 2021 book about how the song was about rejection, saying, "I'm talking about two people who've broken up, but obviously, as with any writer, it all comes from your own experience, and inevitably you're talking about yourself."

"For No One" was recorded over the course of three different days in May of 1966 fairly simplistically. McCartney sang and played a rented clavichord, while Ringo Starr played the drums, tambourine, and maracas. Neither John Lennon nor George Harrison contributed to the track.

The song contains a French horn solo which was performed by Alan Civil. Civil became one of the few session musicians to be credited on a Beatles album.

"For No One" was included on the 1966 album Revolver. The song was not released as a single.

After the release of the Revolver album, critics specifically honed in on "For No One" and lauded McCartney's songwriting on the song. The Evening Standardcalled the song "as moving as 'Yesterday'" and Rolling Stonecalled it the "ultimate 'you stay home, she goes out' break-up song."

All Musicwrote that "For No One" is "one of Paul McCartney's great ballads with the Beatles" and it is "one of the most inspired of the singer's whole career."

Singer-songwriter Elvis Costello named "For No One" as his favorite song in The Beatles' catalog. He cited the lyrics and the musical arrangement as being particuarly noteworthy and also said of the song that, "It's about as perfect a record as you could make."

Another notable fan of "For No One" was Lennon, who called the song one of his favorites by McCartney and "a nice piece of work."

Planning a vacation for three generations of family members—where toddlers, parents, and grandparents are all genuinely thrilled to be there—can quickly feel like an impossible balancing act.

When we asked top travel advisors for the single lodging style and destination trend dominating their multigenerational bookings right now, their answer was unanimous: skip the endless hallway of separate hotel rooms and opt for a fully buyout-style, private villa instead.

Why Private Villas Are the Top Choice for Big Groups We see a beach bed, specially to relax by the sea, is surrounded by sand and the sea is near, this is the perfect place to relax while e you enjoy your vacations, this is part of the pacific area of the Nayarit Riviera in Mexico.

Rather than stacking extended family across disconnected rooms, advisors agree that a buyout property gives families the ideal mix of vibrant gathering spaces and quiet retreats.
"Buyout properties are dominating multi-gen bookings, particularly those where everyone has their own space/wing," explains Fora Advisor Kara Kassuba.

"One of our most reliable, surefire successes is a fully staffed villa in Punta Mita, a gated luxury community about an hour from Puerto Vallarta," says Fora Advisor Maggie Moran.

"Punta Mita has a wonderful collection of large villas that are ideal for families of mixed ages: plenty of room to spread out, beautiful finishes and amenities, private pools, and a full staff that can include housekeeping, butlers and private chefs."

Fora Advisor Danielle Fisher agrees, noting that European villa estates offer five-star luxury infrastructure alongside private living. "The destination dominating my multi-gen bookings this summer is definitely Marbella, Spain," Fisher notes. "This year my standout trip was a family of three generations (17 guests) who booked a 5-night stay in the largest private villa at Puente Romano (in Marbella)... the villa gave them the privacy and shared space a big family actually needs."

Accessible Travel Lead Karen Morales highlights how a home-base villa accommodates everyone's individual rhythm. "For families with different ages, wake-up times, and opinions, the villa vacation is unmatched," Morales says. "This year, I have sent families to Costa Rica,Sicily, and Greece to have a home base with a pool, a chef, and access to outdoor activities. It gives people of different ages the ability to structure the day however they would like."

The advisors all agree that opting for a private chef at the villa easily hacks the daily "where are we eating tonight?" dilemma for 10 or more people—and it isn't always as expensive as you think. As Kassuba points out, "A private chef/full board dining package included in the buyout actually saves a big family money in the long run. It turns dining out—a variable daily expense—into one predictable line item, while sparing everyone the hassle of deciding where the group should eat every meal."

When reserving accommodations for large groups, picking a property based solely on bedroom count without scrutinizing the physical layout can quickly ruin the vacation flow.

"A place where everyone gets their own room or wing is a good plan vs stacking grandparents, parents, and kids in adjoining hotel rooms (which can be a mistake)," shares Kassuba. "Having only one place to gather can also be a mistake—separate areas allow people to be social or retreat for quiet time without disrupting others."

Safety and accessibility are also crucial layout factors, adds Moran. "One of the first things we evaluate is whether a villa’s layout truly works for small children and grandparents—not just whether it has enough bedrooms. For families with young children, we watch out for layouts with exterior walkways or paths between the children’s rooms and their parents’ room... For grandparents, we look carefully at accessibility: minimal steps or stairs and walk-in showers are key."

Fisher cautions against booking separate hotel rooms because it robs the group of natural togetherness. "When booking for multiple generations the biggest mistake a family can make is to book everyone into separate hotel rooms... it means the family never actually gets unstructured time together. Everyone retreats to their own room at the end of the day," Fisher warns.

Morales agrees that moving a massive group off-property every night is bound to create friction. "The right lodging layout should make it easy for people to be together without requiring the entire group to move as one unit all day. This is really why the rise of the all-inclusive, the cruise ship and the staffed villa just make great sense for larger groups."

The Moments That Made It All Worth It

When a villa-style multigenerational trip comes together, the payoff for the entire family is unforgettable.

Morales recently organized an 80th birthday trip for 22 family members in Sicily as well as a group of 13 in Costa Rica. "The teenagers, including some who were already in college, were playing with their younger cousins, and people were simply spending time together," Morales recalls. "Another recent memory is a group of 13 who went to Costa Rica for Grandma’s birthday... Her granddaughters were standing behind her with these looks of pure joy and pride that she had done [the zip-lining]."

For Moran's clients, the breakthrough comes when the primary planner finally gets to relax. "We recently sent a family of 16 to a beautiful eight-bedroom beachfront villa in Punta Mita. My client had never stayed in a fully staffed villa before and was used to being the person cooking and cleaning for the entire extended family on vacation... When my client realized she could sit back in a comfortable chair, take in the view, and not have to lift a finger, she texted me in pure delight."

As Fisher sums up: "That's the sign a multigenerational trip has actually worked: when the 'downtime' becomes the favorite part."

Not every song needs to top the charts to become a timeless classic. That's the case with “(Our Love) Don’t Throw It All Away,” originally released by Andy Gibb in 1978.

Penned by Barry Gibb and Blue Weaver, the song first appeared on the album Shadow Dancing and was reimagined by the Bee Gees on their 1979 Greatest Hits album. Decades later, fans still celebrate the emotional track as a standout in the brothers’ catalogs.

Andy Gibb’s soft rock ballad was a polished pop track built around vulnerable vocals about saving a relationship. It became a Top 9 Billboard hit and remains one of the most beloved performances of the late singer's too-short career.

The version of the song featuring Barry and brothers Robin and Maurice had a more mature harmony-driven sound–and of course Barry’s signature falsetto.

"(Our Love) Don't Throw It All Away" was written in the late 1970s during the Bee Gees' sessions for the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, according to Gold Radio. Weaver once noted, "When Andy actually went to record it, Barry listened to it [the original version] again and thought, 'Oh, it's not finished', so Barry wrote the whole of the middle-eight."

In a 1978 interview with Billboard magazine, Andy Gibb reflected on learning about music from his famous brothers.

“Imagine having the greatest singers and songwriters living under one roof. Your roof,” he said. “Their harmonies, the ballads, all influenced me greatly. I guess you could say I idolized the Bee Gees as a band and loved them as brothers.”

In 1997, nine years after Andy’s sudden death at age 30, the Bee Gees performed "(Our Love) Don’t Throw It All Away” at their “One Night Only” concert in Las Vegas. "This is our song for Andy,” Barry told the crowd as videos of the trio’s late little brother appeared on screen, including throwback footage of him once performing the same song onstage.

Fans were moved by the tribute—and continue to talk about the impact of the song today.

“Is anyone here in 2026? This song will never get old,” one fan wrote in a YouTube comment.

“I’m so touched by the Gibb brothers' devotion to each other. Barry is such a good eldest brother. He [gave]  Andy great compositions,” another wrote.

“I heard ‘Our Love Don’t Throw It All Away’ when I was 14 and it still haunts me to this day. Beautiful song, beautiful soul,” another fan wrote Reddit.

Nearly 50 years after its release, “(Our Love) Don’t Throw It All Away” is Andy Gibb’s second-highest-streaming song on Spotify, under “I Just Want to Be Your Everything.” The track remains a timeless anthem of second chances—and a unique example of the special musical bond the Gibb brothers shared.
