Actress Candace Cameron Bure is relishing becoming a first-time grandma now that her grandson Bond Leo Bure, born to her son Lev and his wife Elliott, is safe and sound at home. The couple announced on Sunday, September 27 that baby Bond arrived 10 weeks early and weighed just three pounds.

Candace, who rose to fame as a child star on Full House and now stars in Great American Family movies after many years at Hallmark Channel, shared her own post on September 29, revealing that Bond was born on August 4.

Candace, 50, included precious photos of little Bond in the NICU, with pics of Lev standing over his incubator and one of Elliott holding her newborn, with them both wrapped in blankets.

“Baby Bond was born 10 weeks early weighing 3 lbs,” Candace wrote in her caption. “For the next 6 weeks NICU doctors, nurses and mom and dad were amazing in their care and love for him. He’s thriving and is finally home.”

She continued, “I had no idea the love I would have for my grandchild. It’s a love like no other, beyond anything I imagined. My heart is so full 💗. Bond is surrounded with so much love, by his devoted and incredible parents, aunt and uncles and his 2 sets of grandparents. Not to mention allllll of his extended family and friends. To those who knew, thank you for all your prayers 🙏🏻 and love. 💝 What a blessing we’ve been given.”

Friends and fans flooded Candace’s post with notes of congratulations, including former The Wonder Years star Jason Hervey, who wrote, “You know my grandson Shia is now two and it’s the greatest joy in my life being “Papa J”!!! Welcome to the club my friend!!!!! ❤️”

Candace currently stars on the current season of FOX’s Special Forces and will star in two Great American Family Christmas movies this holiday season.

In 2004, The Swan premiered on Fox. A controversial makeover series that put “ugly ducklings” through extreme, 90-day physical and cosmetic transformations before sending contestants into a beauty pageant, the reality TV show drew about 9 million viewers on average during its first season.

But while viewers watched the contestants on their screens undergo dramatic metamorphoses, the women on the show were actually put through far more than what was shown, particularly when it came to their dental work.

The Dental Work Was Part of the Transformation

In The Swan: Behind the Mirror, a new Hulu documentary directed by Erin Lee Carr (pictured above), former contestants revisit the experience and describe their dissatisfaction with the long-term results, including lasting dental problems and corrective procedures they say they needed after the show.

The original series assigned each contestant a team of specialists, including a cosmetic surgeon, dentist, trainer, therapist, and stylist, who designed an individualized transformation over roughly three months.

Former celebrity cosmetic dentist Sherri Worth of Newport Beach, California, performed extensive dental work on some of the contestants. The women interviewed for the documentary now say some of that work left them with serious long-term problems.

“I had to have a bunch of teeth pulled,” former contestant Kristy Garza said. “My gum tissue is destroyed.”

Kari Bravata, another participant on the show, said that her “temporary teeth” fell out “constantly.”

The documentary details contestants’ accounts of rotting teeth beneath veneers, temporary teeth falling out, gum problems, and extensive dental work they say they needed after their time on the show.

“We’ve all had extreme leftover problems from what Dr. Worth did to our teeth,” Gina Bravata, Kari’s sister, said in the documentary. “And let’s face it, she’s no longer practicing for a reason.”

What Happened to Sherri Worth?

Worth did, in fact, surrender her California dental license in February 2017, but the circumstances are more specific than simply saying she was “stripped” of her license.

According to the Los Angeles Times, the Dental Board of California suspended Worth’s license on Feb. 3, 2017, pending a disciplinary hearing. The board had filed a complaint against her on Feb. 1 based on disturbing allegations from six patients. Worth then surrendered her license effective Feb. 17, according to state documents.

The allegations were serious, too. The board accused Worth of, among other things, negligence and incompetence, overdiagnosing healthy teeth, and recommending expensive treatments, billing patients for laser surgery they allegedly did not receive, falsifying dental records, and altering digital X-rays.

That disciplinary action came after years of complaints about Worth’s work. The Times reported in 2017 that one former patient alleged Worth’s dental work left her with an improper bite, headaches, and severe jaw pain, and that otherwise healthy teeth required root canals after the treatment.

The Women Are Still Living With the Results

The documentary also revisits other controversial aspects of the series, including the contestants’ lack of control over their transformations and the nude photo shoots they were asked to participate in. But the issue isn’t simply what happened during those 90 days in 2004. It’s what they say happened afterward.

The women entered the show trusting a team of doctors and producers to transform their appearances. More than 20 years later, The Swan: Behind the Mirror gives them a chance to describe what that transformation looked like after the cameras left. For Garza, revisiting the experience has involved some uncomfortable self-reflection.

“I had an epiphany a couple months ago,” she says in the documentary. “Maybe I’m not mad at them. Maybe I’m mad at me, because I bought the dream they sold me.”

The Swan: Behind the Mirror is now streaming on Hulu and Disney+.

Conan O’Brien revealed that fellow comedian Larry David is more like the fictionalized version of himself on Curb Your Enthusiasm than fans of the HBO comedy may realize.

In the September 28 episode of his podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, O’Brien shared that he saw David and his wife, Ashley Underwood, at a restaurant. He said he decided to “walk up to the table to say, ‘Hi,'” to the couple before he realized David was in the middle of an argument with the waiter over his meal.

“The waiter brought him a turkey sandwich with no mustard. And he’s like, ‘In the history of sandwiches, when has mustard not been part of the equation?'” recalled O’Brien with a laugh.

O’Brien then noted that the situation felt like something the fictional David, known for getting into arguments and making social faux pas, would do on Curb Your Enthusiasm.

“I said to him, ‘Larry, there’s no cameras,'” said O’Brien on his podcast.

Larry David Said He Loves His ‘Curb Your Enthusiasm’ Counterpart

During an appearance on a 2024 episode of Conan O’Brien Needs A Friend, David shared that he appreciates when he is compared to his Curb Your Enthusiasm counterpart.

“I take that as a tremendous compliment. Yes. Because I got to tell you something. I love that guy. That guy. Oh my god. I am so in love with that guy. He’s my hero,” said David to O’Brien while recording the podcast episode.

David clarified that not everyone appreciates when he acts like his Curb Your Enthusiasm character. He then explained that he “got invited to a dinner party” and offended the host because he inquired who else was attending the event.

“I wound up not going. So there you go. I tried to be Larry, and it didn’t work,” said David, who starred on Curb Your Enthusiasm throughout its 12-season run.

David then doubled down on his belief that dinner party guest lists should be made available before RSVPing to the event.

“But by the way, as long as we’re on the subject, is it such a terrible question to ask who’s going to? Why is it such a secret? Why is that a secret? I don’t understand the big secret,” said David, causing O’Brien to laugh.

There are very few prolific writers who were able to step away from the initial work they were known for. However, Evan Hunter, born Salvatore Albert Lombino, managed exactly that. In fact, he became a dominant force across multiple literary scenes without the majority of people realizing.

Think back to the 1950s, a time when the sound of typewriter keys clacking made it clear that writers were hard at work. Hunter would find himself thrust into mainstream Hollywood with The Blackboard Jungle, but that wouldn’t be his biggest masterpiece.

Most will remember him working with Alfred Hitchcock on the 1963 movie The Birds. Working with a masterful director was one thing, but learning that he had free rein over the script was another. Hunter didn’t have to worry about budgets and how to film something. Hitchcock wanted a screenplay that was terrifying — and the only two elements that were the same as the Daphne du Maurier story that it was based on were the title and the idea that birds would suddenly attack out of nowhere.

How could a Hollywood icon break from that mold, though? Well, through pen names, of course, he crafted the pseudonym Ed McBain, and that is surely a name that crime drama book lovers will know. McBain was the mind behind the 87th Precinct series, which covers 55 books, revolutionizing the police procedural where the team of detectives was the main protagonist instead of one lonely hero.

The first in the series was titled Cop Hater and released in 1956. He would break the mold of many authors at the time, releasing three books that year, with The Mugger and then The Pusher following. While Fiddlers would end up being the last in the series, published in 2005, there was a 1998 release from his Matt Hope series, which had a crossover with the 87th Precinct team, The Last Best Hope.

It was through this literary name that he influenced some of the great writers of today. Stephen King, Michael Connelly, and David Baldacci have all become modern-day titans in the crime fiction world. Some of these authors, along with many others, have opted for pen names to move into new genres.

However, you won’t just know Hunter under the name of McBain. Like many authors today, he created other pseudonyms so that he could branch out into other genres. With names such as Richard Marsten, Hunt Collins, Ezra Hannon, and Curt Cannon, Hunter had a world of literature around him. He could jump between gritty crime, science fiction, and juvenile fiction without alienating his audience. Under these names, he was able to release the likes of Runaway Black, Cut Me In, Doors, and I’m Cannon—For Hire.

Not only did he have the ability to jump between genres, but he could even publish more than publishers wanted at the time. In the mid-20th century, it was unheard of for authors to publish more than one or two books a year, but Hunter had more ideas, and he wanted the freedom to write. And so, the pen names opened that universe without people even knowing. Thanks to the lack of the internet, he was able to keep his writing aliases separate from each other.

With the reveal of his pen names, many of his books have been republished, either under his McBain name or his real name. It takes some of the allure out, but it doesn’t change the master of literature he was throughout the 20th century.

Following their resentencing, Erik and Lyle Menendez have become eligible for parole.

The Menendez Brothers were convicted after shooting and killing their parents, José and Mary Louise “Kitty” Menendez, in their home in Beverly Hills on August 20, 1989. The couple was watching The Spy Who Loved Me when their sons snuck up on them and fired multiple shots. Detectives initially investigated Lyle’s suggestion that the murders were a result of mob-related activity, due to its heinousness and José’s business connections.

Lyle and Erik were charged with two counts of first-degree murder with special circumstances for lying in wait, making them eligible for the death penalty. Following the murders, police grew suspicious after they discovered both of them had constant extravagant spending sprees and they hired a computer expert to delete their father’s will. Eventually, Erik confessed to the murders in sessions with his psychologist, citing the desire to be free of their controlling father.

During their first trial, the defense argued that the brothers killed their parents in self-defense after years of alleged sexual, emotional and physical abuse; but the prosecution argued that the murders were premeditated, allegations of sexual abuse were fabricated and that the brothers were motivated by hatred and a desire to receive their father’s multimillion-dollar estate after being disinherited from his will. The juries were unable to reach a verdict, resulting in mistrials for both brothers. In a second trial that took place a year later, the brothers were convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.

Parole is the supervised and early release of a prisoner before they finish their full sentence, allowing them to serve the rest of their time in the community.

Earlier this month, it was reported that the Menendez Brothers’ second appearance before the California Board of Parole was moved up to March 2027, a year earlier than expected after both men were denied parole at their first hearing before the parole board last year. The two were re-sentenced to 50 years to life, automatically making them eligible for parole consideration because they were younger than 26 when the crime occurred. It also led to a three-year denial of parole, which is the shortest denial length under California law. They were officially convicted of murder in 1996 and are able to apply for a parole suitability hearing in August 2028.

“For almost 40 years, Erik and Lyle have worked to take responsibility for their actions, confront and heal from the unimaginable abuse and trauma they endured, grow as individuals, and dedicate themselves to serving others,” their family said in a statement. “They have sought to build an environment that reminds people serving life sentences that their lives still have meaning and that, regardless of their circumstances, they can choose each day to grow, heal, accept accountability, and contribute something of value to the world around them.”

While being held at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility in San Diego, the two brothers helped create the Green Space Project in 2018, which made the facility’s yard look like a park and was inspired by the Norwegian approach to incarceration, which believes rehabilitation in prisons surrounded by nature leads to successful reintegration into society, even for those who have committed terrible crimes.

Lyle, now 58, co-founded the group Rehabilitation Through Beautification (RTB), and helped raise more than $250,000 from local businesses and donors. He also assists in running self-help groups, trauma support groups and a service animal training program in the facility. Meanwhile, Erik, 55, served as the lead painter for a large landscape mural depicting San Diego landmarks as part of the yard transformation. The mural features work by incarcerated artists, as well as volunteers from the San Diego State University’s art students and faculty.

“This project hopes to normalize the environment inside the prison to reflect the living environment outside the prison,” Pedro Calderón Michel, the deputy press secretary for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, told the Associated Press in October 2024.

The Green Space Project is still actively underway and continuing its rollout, and is completely funded by the public.

“Erik and Lyle were once sentenced to life without the possibility of parole. We will always be profoundly grateful that they have been resentenced and that our family can now imagine a future in which they are once again part of our everyday lives,” the statement continued. “We are incredibly proud of the men they have become and deeply grateful to the Parole Board for recognizing their efforts and allowing them to advance their parole hearing.”

When it comes to decorating, the biggest changes tend to get all the attention. A new sofa, a beautiful set of dinnerware, a colorful rug, or fresh bedding can completely change the look of a room. But sometimes, it’s the smallest details that make a house feel like home. Think a pretty dish towel hanging from the oven, a vase of flowers on the windowsill, or a soap dispenser that’s charming enough to double as decor.

And if anyone knows how to bring personality into a home, it’s Dolly Parton. Her Mason Jar Soap Dispenser at Wayfair takes an everyday kitchen or bathroom essential and gives it a country-inspired makeover. With its nostalgic silhouette and farmhouse appeal, it’s an easy way to add a little Southern charm to your sink without rearranging the entire room

The mason jar-inspired design is already charming and “beautiful” according to shoppers, but it’s the colorful artwork that really makes this dispenser stand out. Its clear glass body is decorated with mosaic-style pink roses, bright blue and coral flowers, leafy green accents, and delicate butterflies in shades of blue and purple. Dolly’s signature adds a recognizable finishing touch for fans near the bottom.

Measuring 7.5 inches tall and 3.5 inches wide, it has a 16-fluid-ounce capacity, so you won’t have to constantly refill it. The stainless steel pump dispenses soap with a simple push, while the clear glass makes it easy to see when you’re running low. 

Of course, there’s no rule that says it has to hold hand soap. Fill it with dish soap and place it beside your kitchen sink or add lotion and keep it in the bathroom. You could even fill it with hand sanitizer and set it on an entryway table, giving family and guests a convenient place to clean their hands as soon as they walk through the door.

Hours before hitting the dance floor for a third week of competition on season 35 of Dancing With the Stars, celebrity contestant Tyler Cameron published a heartfelt letter to his partner on the show, longtime DWTS pro Sharna Burgess on Tuesday, September 29.

“Dear Sharna,” the Bachelorette alum and new HGTV star wrote, posting his note on social media with behind-the-scenes photos from their rehearsals. “We are back at it for week 3. This has been a tough week for me with a very challenging dance but you have just kept pushing me to be better and better every day.”

For the week’s theme, Yacht Rock, Cameron and Burgess will be dancing a jive to Still the One by Orleans, and one of the 13 remaining duos will be sent home at the end of the night.

“You have been a beacon of light for me this whole time but especially this week,” Cameron told Burgess. “You’ve dug me out of mental holes, and kept pouring confidence back into me every day. I am so grateful for every minute and every interaction with you. You keep pulling the best out of me!”

“Tonight’s a big night and the dance is in us,” Cameron concluded. “We just got to cut it loose and have fun like we always do! Let’s keep this party rolling!” He also encouraged fans to vote “Tyler to 21523” during the show.

Sharna, who dyed her hair from blonde to red this week, had not replied to Cameron’s post at the time of publication, but plenty of fans had, encouraging the star to believe in himself.

One fan wrote, “Hugs to you both!!!! Seems like it’s just kinda been a week for you two in a lot of ways. I can’t wait to watch you crush it!! ❤️❤️🔥” That person may have noticed Burgess’ post about finally sneaking in some afterschool time with her kids between demanding rehearsals or the post from her fiancé, Brian Austin Green, sharing that he was feeling low and alone on Friday night.

Another person assured Cameron, “You guys have worked so hard! You have my vote 🙌”

Dancing with the Stars airs live each Tuesday night on ABC and Disney+, including on September 29 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood and his wife of 12 years, Sally Humphreys Wood, are a red carpet dynamic duo.

Ronnie, 79, joined the Rolling Stones in 1975, but had success with Faces and the Jeff Beck Group before that. Still, it was his turn with the Stones that gave the shaggy-haired Brit serious notoriety. Now, the star is happier than ever alongside his wife Sally, 48. The twosome attended the opening reception of “Ronnie Wood: The Jimi Hendrix Portraits” at Handel Hendrix House in London, England, and looked incredibly in love. With their arms around each other, the couple smiled for the camera.

Wood Called the Stones “Naughty Schoolboys”

No matter their age, the Stones have a great time when they get together. This past summer, Wood appeared in an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe and said the band goes off on their own when they’re not touring or in the studio. But when they reunite, all bets are off.

“Well, we don’t over-soak our hanging out. We lead our own lives,” Wood shared. “When we do get back together, it’s like no time has gone by.”

He went on to say that they revert to their younger years pretty quickly.

“We’re back in the playground like naughty schoolboys,” he said, noting that “Mick is still very driving to this day.”

Check out the interview below:

Wood’s Relationship With Amy Winehouse

 Earlier this year, Wood opened up to The Sunday Times about speaking candidly with Amy Winehouse about her addiction issues. The beloved singer, who died in 2011 at age 27 from alcohol poisoning, was struggling tremendously, and Wood was hoping to help.

“She would go: ‘Oh Ronnie, what am I going to do?’ I said: ‘Look, everyone knows you’ve got vodka in the water bottle. Get it together and get on stage.’ But if you could get her up there and she stayed there, it’d be great,” Wood told the publication. “I’m sad because she didn’t do her full span. It was like saying goodbye to Billie Holiday again.”

Travel insurance can look deceptively simple until you start comparing quotes. Two policies covering the same vacation can have noticeably different premiums, even when the trip dates and destination are identical.

Traveler age, prepaid expenses, medical benefits, cancellation coverage and optional upgrades can all influence the total price. That makes it difficult to judge whether a quote is expensive without looking at what you’re actually getting in return.

So, how much should you expect to pay for travel insurance—and what actually determines the price? Here’s everything you need to know.

TravelInsurance.com lets travelers compare premiums and benefits from multiple insurers side by side, making it easier to see how coverage changes from one plan to another.

How Much Does Travel Insurance Usually Cost?

The National Association of Insurance Commissioners says travel insurance generally costs about 5-10% of the total trip price, although the final premium depends on the traveler and coverage selected. TravelInsurance.com gives a similar range of roughly 4-10% of prepaid, nonrefundable trip costs, while noting that individual policies can vary significantly.

Here’s what a 5-10% premium would look like for several different scenarios:

Trip Cost

5% Premium

10% Premium

$2,000

$100

$200

$5,000

$250

$500

$7,500

$375

$750

$10,000

$500

$1,000

Remember that these figures are examples rather than quotes. Two travelers insuring trips with the same price may still receive different premiums.

Why Does Trip Cost Affect Travel Insurance Prices?

Trip cancellation coverage is often tied to the amount of prepaid, nonrefundable money you’re insuring. As that amount increases, the insurer may have more to reimburse if you cancel for a covered reason.

TravelInsurance.com identifies total trip cost and traveler age as two of the major factors affecting premiums. That doesn’t necessarily mean you should insure every dollar you expect to spend, though.

Refundable hotel reservations, meals you’ll purchase during the trip and other expenses you haven’t prepaid don’t represent the same cancellation exposure as nonrefundable airfare, cruises or tours. Review the policy’s definition of insurable trip cost before entering your quote.

Does Your Age Affect Travel Insurance Cost?

Yes (unfortunately). TravelInsurance.com says older travelers generally pay more for comparable coverage because age is a major variable that insurers consider when setting premiums.

Its current examples show premiums rising as hypothetical travelers get older, although the exact difference varies by insurer, destination and plan. That makes comparison shopping especially useful.

Does More Travel Insurance Coverage Cost More?

Usually. A basic travel and premium policy may cover the same trip but offer very different benefit limits. Plans can vary in:

• Trip cancellation and interruption limits
• Emergency medical coverage
• Medical evacuation coverage
• Baggage protection
• Travel-delay benefits
• Deductibles
• Optional upgrades

When comparing plans on TravelInsurance.com, look at the benefit limits next to the premium rather than automatically choosing the cheapest policy. A lower price may simply reflect less coverage.

How Much More Does ‘Cancel For Any Reason’ Coverage Cost?

‘Cancel For Any Reason’ coverage, or CFAR, can noticeably increase the premium. Standard trip cancellation coverage reimburses eligible losses only when it results from a reason listed in the policy. CFAR provides broader flexibility but generally reimburses only part of the insured trip cost.

TravelInsurance.com says adding CFAR may increase the base policy price by about 40%. This is important to consider when reimbursement is generally 50-75% of eligible prepaid, nonrefundable trip costs. For this reason, it only makes sense when the added flexibility is worth the higher premium.

Do Destination and Trip Length Change the Price?

They can, although their impact varies by policy. NAIC lists factors such as destination, season and traveler age among variables that may influence travel insurance costs.

TravelInsurance.com also identifies destination and trip length as factors insurers may consider, although its quote comparisons found that trip cost and age had a larger impact in the examples tested. The safest approach is to enter accurate travel dates and destinations rather than assuming one variable will change the premium by a predictable amount.

How Can You Tell if You’re Paying Too Much for Travel Insurance?

Don’t judge the value of a policy by the premium alone. Start by comparing plans using the same trip cost, travelers, dates and destination. Then compare the benefit limits that matter most to you.

A $180 policy isn’t necessarily a better deal than a $250 policy if the less expensive plan has substantially lower medical or evacuation limits. It’s also worth checking the protection you already have. NAIC recommends reviewing existing health insurance, homeowners/renters insurance and credit-card benefits before purchasing travel insurance because some losses may already be covered.

The goal isn’t to buy the policy with the most benefits. It’s to avoid paying for coverage you don’t need while making sure the financial risks you care about are adequately covered.

What Should You Pay for Travel Insurance?

For many travelers, 5-10% of prepaid trip cost is a useful starting benchmark, not a price ceiling. An inexpensive domestic trip with refundable reservations may call for relatively modest coverage. A costly international trip with substantial prepaid expenses, higher medical limits or optional CFAR protection can cost considerably more to insure.

The most useful comparison is between policies covering the same trip and similar risks, rather than between two premiums in isolation.

TravelInsurance.com allows travelers to compare participating policies, prices and benefit limits side by side before purchasing. Review the policy documents, exclusions and coverage limits before deciding which plan fits your trip.

Despite only being a band for just a decade, The Beatles managed to undeniably impact music history. For instance, Collider recently named the ’60s British band’s eighth album, 1967’s Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band as an extremely significant classic rock record.

The publication placed the 1967 record at the number one spot in a ranking of “The 10 Classic Rock Albums That Changed Music Forever.” According to Collider, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, which features songs like “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,” “A Day in the Life,” and “When I’m Sixty-Four,” is a remarkable album, full of imagination and extraordinary musicality.

Collider also included the albums Pet Sounds by The Beach Boys, The Dark Side of the Moon by Pink Floyd, and Led Zeppelin IV by Led Zeppelin in the ranking, published on September 29.

Paul McCartney Discussed the Making of ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ in 1987

Former Beatles member Paul McCartney shared insight into making the Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band record in a 1987 interview, in celebration of the album’s 20th anniversary. He explained that he and his bandmates, Ringo Starr, the late John Lennon, and the late George Harrison, didn’t want to “make just another Beatles album,” but rather “something very different.”

According to McCartney, he came up with the idea for The Beatles to act as the fictional band, Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, during the album’s production.

“Just so that every decision we made on the album would be taken by those people and not us. It was a liberating thing. So, we did it that way. So, the music turned out different. All the lyrics turned out different,” said McCartney, now 84, during the 1987 interview.

In addition, he said that listening to Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band felt like entering into “a little time warp,” as he, Harrison, Lennon, and Starr “never really made any music like that” after producing the record.

“It was just a one little thing in its own little time, you know. So, it just captures the times,” continued McCartney.

Former USWNT star Carli Lloyd is officially a mom of two!

Lloyd, 44, welcomed her second child with husband Brian Hollins, announcing the news in an Instagram post on Monday, Sept. 28.

The couple’s son, Hunter Jax, was born on Sept. 24 at 8:13 a.m., weighing 9 lbs, 3 oz. and measuring 20.5 inches long, according to People.

“Our hearts have never been fuller,” Lloyd wrote alongside photos of the newborn, welcoming her “sweet baby boy.”

Lloyd also revealed that it “wasn’t the easiest delivery” and thanked the doctors, nurses and others who cared for her. She shared that she and Hunter are doing well and are back home with Hollins and their daughter, Harper Anne, who turns 2 in October.

Lloyd first announced that baby No. 2 was on the way in April. The pregnancy reveal featured Harper wearing a pink “Big Sister” sweater while Lloyd and Hollins held ultrasound photos behind her.

“Our family is growing, and we couldn’t be more grateful!” Lloyd wrote at the time, revealing that their second child was due in September 2026. She also included “IVF journey” among the hashtags.

The announcement came after Lloyd had previously been candid about the fertility struggles she experienced while trying to become a mother for the first time.

Before becoming pregnant with Harper, Lloyd was diagnosed with unexplained infertility and underwent IVF, which she detailed in a personal essay for Women’s Health.

Her first two rounds of IVF were unsuccessful. A third round worked, resulting in Lloyd’s first pregnancy with Harper, who was born on Oct. 18, 2024.

Who Is Carli Lloyd’s Husband, Brian Hollins?

Hollins has been part of Lloyd’s life since long before she became a professional soccer player.

The pair met as teenagers in New Jersey and attended Delran High School together, according to People. Lloyd was a sophomore and Hollins was a junior when they began dating.

Like Lloyd, Hollins has an athletic background. He pursued professional golf and later became a golf instructor.

Their relationship continued as their careers took them in different directions, including years of long distance while Lloyd traveled for soccer.

After dating for years, Hollins proposed in January 2013. The couple married in Puerto Morelos, Mexico, in November 2016.

Lloyd has also been open about Hollins’ support throughout her soccer career and their fertility journey. In her Women’s Health essay, she shared how her husband supported her through the emotional ups and downs of IVF as they tried to become parents for the first time.

The couple welcomed Harper in October 2024, and Lloyd regularly shares glimpses of their life as parents on social media.

Now, Harper has officially been promoted to big sister. In Lloyd’s birth announcement for Hunter, the proud mom shared photos of the newborn with both Hollins and Harper as the family welcomed its newest member.

One of the best things about coming home after a long day is hopping into the shower or bath and washing the day away. Whether you’re exhausted or stressed, it’s a great way to unwind and feel refreshed. If you want to make your showers and baths as relaxing as possible, the first step is to get rid of the overhead light and use a moody lamp instead. Of course, you can’t just take any lamp into the bathroom — you’ll need a waterproof one, like this Sentryse Shower Lamp at Walmart. 

There’s no better time than right now to snag this shower lamp because it’s currently on sale for less than $25! Normally retailing for $33, it’s now marked down to just $22. This lamp will get the ambiance just right in your bathroom. It has a two-in-one design, doubling as an ocean wave projector. You can also use it as a regular night light, truly giving you more bang for your buck.

Completely waterproof, this lamp is designed to work even when it’s in the shower. It’s completely sealed and has a waterproof stopper covering the charging port. It can handle splashes, steam, and water jets, but cannot be fully submerged. You could place it on a shelf or on the rim of your bathtub to create the coziest experience. 

Featuring a mushroom-shaped frosted lampshade, this lamp has a touch of whimsy. The lampshade softens the light, filling the bathroom with a cozy glow. The base is fitted with a touch-control switch where you can adjust the light temperature between warm, natural, and cool depending on your preference. The brightness is also adjustable between six levels ranging from 10% to 100%. 

If you prefer to use the ocean wave projector, simply remove the lampshade. Underneath the frosted lampshade, this light boasts a transparent dome with ridges that create a water ripple effect. It’ll transform your bathroom into a tranquil oasis and give you a relaxing spa-like experience. This lamp comes with a remote control, allowing you to choose from 16 different colors. From multicolored options to solid hues, it’ll get the ambiance just right.

For children of the ’70s and ’80s, Jill Whelan felt like she was our own sibling or best friend. Before getting cast as Captain Stubing’s beloved daughter, Vicki Stubing, on The Love Boat, Whelan was a child actor who appeared in commercials before landing television roles. The ABC hit series ran from 1977 to 1986, and Whelan remained one of its familiar young faces for much of the show’s run.

On Sept. 29, Jill Whelan celebrates her 60th birthday. She’s all grown up now and starring in a production of Dear Evan Hansen that may have fans surprised by her beautiful singing voice.

In a post shared to social media by another of TV’s most recognizable ’80s child actors, Glenn Scarpelli of One Day at a Time, the actor wrote:

“Please help me wish one of my lifelong BFFs [@officialjillwhelan] a very HAPPY BIG 6 OH!!! Jill, you finally caught up to me. What took you so long???? LOL!! I’ll always treasure the crazy amounts of laughs we’ve had over the years and the incredible experiences we’ve shared. A list too long for a post. Happy birthday, Sweetheart. Many more wonderful memories to come. I Love You!”

Jill Whelan Was Just 11 When She Joined The Love Boat

Whelan began performing as a child, appearing in commercials before landing the role of Vicki Stubing when she was just 11 years old. The Love Boat made her a household name, but the actress was also building an impressive résumé outside the series.

In 1980, she appeared in the comedy classic Airplane! as Lisa Davis, a young heart transplant patient.

Her childhood career actually began even earlier. At age 10, Whelan was cast in the national touring company of Annie as an orphan and understudy for Annie, but she had to turn down the opportunity after landing a starring role in the ABC series Friends.

What Jill Whelan Did After The Love Boat

After The Love Boat ended, Whelan’s career took some unexpected turns. She moved to New York and worked as an event producer at Madison Square Garden before eventually moving into television production and radio.

She later returned to performing, including theater and cabaret work, while continuing to make appearances connected to her beloved television and film roles.

In 2025, Whelan appeared Off-Broadway in Lady Patriot, reuniting with her former Love Boat co-stars Ted Lange and Fred Grandy.

Jill Whelan Is Now Performing in Dear Evan Hansen View this post on Instagram

In August 2026, Whelan took on the role of Cynthia Murphy in Harbour Lights Theatre’s production of Dear Evan Hansen in Hingham, Massachusetts. The production brought together Broadway veterans and television performers for a limited run of the Tony Award-winning musical.

For longtime fans who remember Whelan primarily as Vicki Stubing, seeing her in a musical theater production offers a fun new chapter in her career.

And there’s another reason the role may surprise them: Whelan has a beautiful singing voice.

Her connection to musical theater actually dates back to childhood, when she performed in The King and I and was cast in the national touring company of Annie. Now, decades after she first became famous as a child actor, she’s getting another chance to showcase that side of her talent.

Jill Whelan’s Career Has Come Full Circle

Whelan became a professional actor at a time when many child stars struggled to establish careers after growing up. But she found her way back to the stage and screen while building an equally varied career in television, radio and production.

At 60, Whelan is still performing, still finding new ways to connect with audiences and, now, showing Love Boat fans a talent they may not have known she had.

Denny’s is bringing back a 2010 fan-favorite menu item, but giving the cheesy sandwich a Halloween twist. Formerly known as the Fried Cheese Melt, the sandwich was made from four deep-fried mozzarella sticks and melted American cheese, sandwiched between two buttery, grilled slices of sourdough bread.

Served with a side of fries and some marinara sauce for dipping, Denny’s Fried Cheese Melt was loved by grilled cheese enthusiasts. In fact, it’s been a topic of discussion on Reddit, where some claim they can still get servers to make the sandwich for them if they ask (nicely) at certain locations. There are copycat recipes for the mozzarella-stick-grilled-cheese, and Denny’s said in a recent press release that the Fried Cheese Melt is an item that fans have long been asking them to “bring back from the dead.”

The Mozzilla Melt is made with fried mozzarella, American, and provolone cheeses, and served with wavy-cut fries.

Denny's

Just in time for spooky season, Denny’s is bringing the Fried Cheese Melt back, under a scarier name. The monstrous Mozzilla Melt is a nod to the original, with just a few updates. The new version of this grilled cheese sandwich, which will start haunting Denny’s menus in early October, is described as “a tribute to the original Fried Cheese Melt,” and guests can expect “a sourdough grilled cheese made with golden-fried mozzarella sticks and melted American and Provolone cheeses, served with tomato sauce for dipping and wavy-cut fries.”

The Mozzilla Melt hits participating Denny’s locations on Oct. 7 and will be on the menu throughout the Halloween season. But take heed, little monsters, the last day to get your claws on a Mozzilla Melt at Denny’s is Nov. 3, and sandwiches are only available while supplies last.

Stanley 1913 just dropped a new collection inspired by one of the biggest autumn festivals and one of its hottest drops from last season.

Two weeks after the cult-favorite drinkware brand unveiled three new Halloween sets (one of which is Target-exclusive), it’s back with another big reveal: it’s launching a new Día de Muertos Collection as part of its continued partnership with Nest, a nonprofit that supports artisan businesses in over 120 countries.

The “Day of the Dead” holiday, which is celebrated annually on November 1 and 2, encourages joy-filled remembrance of deceased loved ones, with elaborately decorated altars featuring offerings of favorite foods and beverages, marigold flowers, and photographs. It inspired its first-ever Stanley drop last year, which sold out in just minutes, per the brand. While those exact designs aren’t coming back, the company did commission similar art for its current collection.

Stanley 1913 Debuts New Día de Muertos Drinkware Collection—Here’s Where to Find It

According to an official announcement shared in an email with Parade, this year’s series features two new colorways inspired by the Mexican folk-art tradition of Papel Picado (the craft of intricately cut-out paper designs) created by artist Guadalupe Hernandez.

Hernandez created the artwork specifically for this collection in two shimmery prints that weave stylish trends with tradition, and the result is almost too pretty to drink from, if we’re being honest.

• Marigold Papel Picado: a rich orange inspired by the iconic, sacred flower of the holiday with colorful, warm accents
• Salt Papel Picado: a nod to the tradition of salt at altars and a symbol of purification, featuring a classic black and white cutout pattern

The two colorways are offered in three popular Stanley lines: its 30-ounce Quencher ProTour ($45), 20-ounce Quencher ProTour ($40), and the 16-ounce Everyday Tumbler ($35).

And unlike some of its Halloween designs, the new Día de Muertos Collection isn’t exclusive to any one retailer, launching today on the official Stanley 1913 website, Amazon, and DICK’S Sporting Goods—nothing like treating yourself (or a loved one) to a new cup on National Coffee Day.

When lunchtime rolls around during a packed workday, finding a quick meal that hits the spot often takes priority over checking off nutritional boxes. Between back-to-back meetings, errands and sheer fatigue, convenience routinely wins the battle over meal prep. Fast-food drive-thrus offer an irresistible siren song of hot, savory comfort food that delivers instant satisfaction. Yet, beneath those convenient paper wrappers lies a heavy nutritional price tag that can compound over time.

Navigating heart-healthy eating isn’t always easy when conflicting diet advice saturates every corner of the internet. It can feel like every bite you take is being judged, leaving many people trapped in a stressful cycle of strict food rules followed by deep guilt after a single slip-up. However, top medical experts want you to take a deep breath. Caring for your cardiovascular health doesn’t require pristine perfection or a life completely devoid of flavor.

Your long-term health isn’t determined by a single indulgence on a random Tuesday afternoon. Instead, it’s shaped by the overarching daily habits you build over months and years. Recognizing which choices pose the highest risk to your cardiovascular system empowers you to make intentional decisions without anxiety. By viewing your diet through a lens of balance rather than absolute restriction, you can protect your heart while still enjoying life.

Understanding where that balance lies starts with examining the specific fast-food staples that pose the greatest challenge to your arteries, and why cardiologists treat them as rare exceptions rather than routine midday stops.

The Midday Staple One Top Cardiologist Won’t Touch

When evaluating fast-food menus for cardiovascular risks, one item consistently stands out for its concentrated mix of harmful fats and heavy sodium. Dr. Harlan Krumholz, MD, SM, a professor of cardiology at Yale School of Medicine, previously told Parade that a bacon double cheeseburger is the specific lunch he’d never order.

Combining stacked beef patties, crispy bacon, processed cheese and a refined white bun creates a heavy storm of saturated fat and sodium. Digesting these dense components places an immediate burden on your circulatory system. When eaten regularly, high saturated fat intake elevates LDL (“bad”) cholesterol levels in the bloodstream, laying the structural groundwork for long-term arterial damage.

As Dr. Krumholz explained, “Plaques are areas of a blood vessel that accumulate substances and can impede blood flow. These plaques can crack and cause blockages.”

He added that “plaques are like deposits in pipes that clog up your plumbing,” illustrating how consistent dietary strain directly damages vital blood vessels over time.

Furthermore, excessive sodium intake leads to acute fluid retention, driving up blood pressure levels and forcing the heart muscle to work significantly harder to pump blood through stiffened vessels.

Why Balance Beats Perfection for Long-Term Heart Health

Despite naming the bacon double cheeseburger as a meal he personally avoids, Dr. Krumholz offered a reassuring perspective for anyone who occasionally craves a fast-food splurge. He stressed that eating a meal like this once in a while is “not the end of the world,” emphasizing that heart health is rooted in long-term lifestyle patterns rather than rigid perfection.

Dr. Krumholz noted that “our lifestyles—including diet and activity—tend to put many people at risk,” yet he firmly maintained that cardiovascular disease remains largely preventable through steady, mindful choices. Denying yourself every single guilty pleasure often leads to food fatigue and eventual overindulgence, making moderate flexibility far more sustainable.

To build an actionable, heart-healthy routine without feeling deprived, consider these simple daily swaps:

• Prioritize whole-food protein sources: Opt for grilled chicken, fish or plant-based proteins like lentils and beans to keep saturated fat intake low while supporting lean muscle mass.
• Fill up on dietary fiber: Integrate leafy greens, berries, oats and whole grains into your daily meals. Soluble fiber acts like a sponge, binding to cholesterol in the digestive system and helping pull it out of the body before it reaches your bloodstream.
• Incorporate healthy unsaturated fats: Swap out processed cheeses and heavy sauces for heart-healthy fats found in avocados, extra virgin olive oil, walnuts and chia seeds.
• Focus on consistent movement: Pair a colorful, nutrient-dense diet with regular physical activity. Even a brisk 20-minute walk during your lunch break improves circulation and lowers blood pressure.

By focusing on nourishing your body most of the time, enjoying an occasional fast-food favorite becomes a harmless exception rather than a heart risk.

People born in the following four months have astrological qualities that make them more likely to know what the future holds before everyone else. Do you always seem to know what’s going to happen before anyone else does? Maybe you know when someone is pregnant before they do, what someone will say before you speak to them, or how someone will act the next time you see them. Knowing what will happen next is a unique psychic ability. You’re likely clairvoyant, clairsentient, clairaudient, or claircognizant. Each of these psychic abilities is known for receiving futuristic messages through visions, feelings, smells, or innate knowledge. Regardless of how it comes through, your psychic abilities and precognition are aligned with your birth month.

All birth months have a unique vibration thanks to being made up of two distinct zodiac signs. While all birth months have innate gifts and talents, there are only four birth months who have an uncanny intuition. These four birth months can easily peer into the future and see what eludes to everyone else. However, these four birth months also deal with the setback of the Cassandra Effect. Thankfully, everyone else eventually learns to trust these birth month’s precognition. Which four birth months always intuitively know something before anyone else does? Read on to find out.

Which Birth Months Always Know Something Before Anyone Else?

Check for the month you were born for pro insights.

February

Individuals with February birthdays have an uncanny intuition. They can thank being co-ruled by Aquarius and Pisces for their psychic abilities. Aquarius lends the ability to peer into the future. This revolutionary air sign is known for being innovative and forward thinking, so February-born are visionaries. However, this isn’t all thanks to Aquarius. Pisces also provides intuitive downloads, since this water sign represents spirituality. February is known to receive special, hidden information through signs, omens, dreams and more due to Pisces’ influence. Altogether, the mix of water and air give February the advantage of knowing what happens before anyone else does. The catch is that February has to trust their own divine knowledge.

June

June is uniquely intuitive, since this birth month is influenced by Mercurial Gemini and lunar Cancer. This birth month’s foresight initially comes through Gemini’s influence. This Mercury-ruled sign is known for seeking out information. Gemini encourages all June-born to ask questions, do their homework, and get answers. A seemingly simple curiosity can turn into a full-blown intuitive download. Luckily, June knows where to look, what to ask, and who to talk to thanks to Cancer’s lunar presence. Being co-ruled by the moon means having a clear intuitive channel. As long as June trusts their wits and heart, they will always find something out before anyone else does. 

September

People with September birthdays are no stranger to the Cassandra Effect. September is home to perceptive Virgo and social Libra, so this birth month always knows who someone is long before they reveal their true colors. September’s eye for detail and precision comes from their Virgoan energy. This birth month picks up on tiny nuances, underlying energies, and more just by paying rapt attention. Libra also provides immense social awareness, so September knows how to conduct themselves to gain others’ trust. Thanks to both Virgo’s and Libra’s attributes, September has an astonishing read on people. However, September will probably call something out long before it happens, so they have to be patient for others to see what they see.

October

October always knows what’s what before everyone else does. Similar to those born in September, this birth month also shares Libra’s social awareness and depth. October can make conversation with anyone, so they have a unique ability to weed out others’ true personalities and intentions. Luckily, this comes naturally to October because they’re also guided by intuitive Scorpio. This water sign is known for being deeply psychic. Scorpio is often associated with psychology and taboos, so Scorpio always knows what’s simmering below the surface. Given these cosmic influences, there’s no doubt that October has an intuitive grasp on what someone will do or how they’ll act long before it happens.

With the renewed hype around A Different World thanks to Netflix’s revival series, it’s only right that we look back on the original classic coming-of-age sitcom that first introduced us to iconic characters Whitley Gilbert (Jasmine Guy) and Dwayne Wayne (Kadeem Hardison), and, of course, the rest of the Hillman gang.

Created by Bill Cosby as a spin-off of The Cosby Show, A Different World first premiered on NBC in 1987. The popular coming-of-age sitcom centers around a group of young adults navigating life and relationships while attending the HBCU (Historically Black College or University) Hillman College.

It aired for six seasons from 1987 to 1993, and was ranked among the 100 best ’90s TV shows by Rotten Tomatoes. Earning several awards throughout its run, including five BMI Film & TV Awards, 12 NAACP Awards, and the People’s Choice Award for Favorite New TV Comedy Program in 1988, the show became a timeless and poignant depiction of Black college culture on mainstream television during the late ’80s and early ’90s.

Meanwhile, the Netflix sequel series of the same name focuses on a new generation at Hillman, where Deborah Wayne (Maleah Joi Moon), Whitley and Dwayne’s daughter, begins her freshman year at her parents’ alma mater. It also features Cornell Young IV, Kennedi Reece, Jordan Aaron Hall, and Chibuikem Uche, while original cast members Hardison, Guy, Cree Summer (Winifred “Freddie” Brooks), and Darryl M. Bell (Ron Johnson, Jr.) reprise their beloved roles.

Both shows are currently available for streaming on Netflix.

Other shows that made the Rotten Tomatoes list include Power Rangers, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Rocko, Doug, Walker, Texas Ranger, Kenan & Kel, 7th Heaven, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Hangin’ With Mr. Cooper, Mr. Bean, The Nanny, Martin, Full House, Saved by the Bell, and more iconic titles that made ’90s TV programming simply unforgettable.
