Fall will be here before we know it. Soon enough, the air will turn crisp and we will need to break out our jackets and boots and put away the sandals and jean shorts. Our homewares and tablewares will also need to be swapped out for the cooler months ahead. Think: plates, cups and home decor that feature warmer hues and autumnal motifs like fallen leaves.

That said, it's not autumn just yet, so transition pieces are a total must. Luckily, you don't have to spend a lot of money to stay on-trend for the season, especially when stores like Dollar Tree exist. Right now, the budget-friendly retailer is selling a charming new side plate that is so stylish for this time of year.

For the longest time, I treated lamps and interior lighting as just a utilitarian need for my home. While I was focusing all of my attention on other decorative pieces like pretty vases or area rugs to help add personality to the space, I just never really considered lamps to be something that could do exactly the same. In my opinion, they had one job—to provide light. That's it.

But, as I've learned, lamps can be sculptural, textured and colorful—doing way more than just casting an ambient glow on a well-curated bookshelf. I get that now, and it's not a moment too soon, because there are so many cute, personality-filled lamps in stores right now. (Or maybe it's just that I'm paying more attention to them.)

From cordless options to statement floor lamps, there's a lot of potential in this home decor category, and I think I found the coziest one right at Target.

 Country legend Trace Adkins is opening up about forgiving his ex-wife for shooting him.

Adkins, 64, who is known for hits like "You're Gonna Miss This,"  "(This Ain't) No Thinkin' Thing," and "Ladies Love Country Boys," was shot by his then-wife, Julie Curtis, as the duo got into an argument about his drinking in 1994, PEOPLE reported. He suffered near-fatal injuries to his heart and his lungs. But despite the horrific incident, Adkins recently appeared on the popular podcast This Past Weekend with Theo Von and shared that he forgives her.

“That was uncalled for. That was totally uncalled for,” Adkins said of the shooting. “Just leave. Let’s just call it quits and we don’t have to go that far.”

Adkins forgave Curtis because he said he didn't think she meant to shoot him, and he believes she didn't have “any idea what that gun was gonna do.”

“I’d never seen her hold a gun, I’d never seen her shoot a gun. I knew she had one, but I’d never seen her use it,” he recalled. “I don’t think she knew what was about to happen when she pulled that trigger. She thought it was a toy.”

Check out the interview with Adkins below:

 During the argument, Curtis put the gun under his left arm. When she fired, the bullet went straight through and came out under his right arm, having gone “straight through” his heart and lungs, Adkins explained.

“It was a kill shot. And the doctor said the only reason I survived was because the bullet went through at point blank velocity, at muzzle velocity, so it didn’t have time to mushroom,” he explained. “If it hadn’t been for that Life Flight and Vanderbilt Medical Center, I wouldn’t be here.”

The couple divorced later that year. But Adkins says the physical pain was nothing compared to the emotional type.

“It wasn’t my time to go,” he said. “It was painful, but it didn’t sear my memory. The physical pain — broken bones and surgeries and bullets and getting beat up and cut — has never really bothered me. I have a high tolerance for it. It’s the broken hearts that left the deepest scars.”

Apple TV’s hit sci-fi show Severance started production on Season 3, and director/executive producer Ben Stiller just dropped a not-so-cryptic hint.

Earlier this week, Stiller posted a still on X of the Season 2 finale, featuring Mark and Helly racing through Lumon’s never-ending corridors bathed in an eerie red light, along with a quote from none other than the fictional company’s (also fictional) founder, Kier Eagan: “To return to work is to return home.”

As fans know, a nearly three-year gap separated Seasons 1 and 2, leading to speculation that we would all have to wait yet another three years for Season 3. The Season 2 finale, ‘Cold Harbor,’ aired on March 21, 2025, leaving viewers wondering whether they would need to wait until the spring of 2028 to find out what happens next. 

“To return to work is to return home.”

In May, actor Adam Scottspoke to Deadline, sharing, “We’re always trying to shorten the amount of time between seasons, but it’s more important for it be great than for it to be fast.” Scott teased, “We’re definitely planning on getting it out much sooner than the last round, which was three years, which is too long.” 

Reactions to Stiller’s X post ranged from confusion to joy. One fan snarked, “Lumon propaganda is getting way too convincing,” while others commented, “Too long, Ben. I appreciate greatness takes time, but it’s way too long between seasons (again!)”, “You’ll post this and give us the 3rd season like five years later,” and “What is Kier’s thoughts on having a three-year break after every season?”

The comments continued with, “Can you release szn 3 and szn 4 at the same time so I can properly binge watch? I can’t do the slow drip of one episode per week, Ben,” and “These long gaps between seasons are extremely annoying.” 

Of course, it wasn't all about the gap between seasons. Some fans just couldn't contain their excited anticipation, writing, “Let’s go”, “Yes please,” and “Idk if this means what I hope it means but I hope it means it.” 

And then there were the Knicks comments. Obviously, Stiller is a huge fan of New York City’s NBA team (to say the absolute least). 

“Knicks winning the chip revitalized your creativity and motivation to give us another season, I know it,” wrote one commenter, while others peppered their questions with Knicks banter: “Does this mean we’re getting news soon, Mr. Stiller? Can’t wait for the Knicks doc by the way.” 

Even though it looks like production is underway, Apple TV has yet to give a premiere date for Season 3. Given that it could take anywhere from months to well over a year to film and edit the show, Severance isn't likely to stream anytime soon. 

According to a new post shared on Instagram, the 82-year-old folk and psychedelic singer Linda Perhacs has reportedly gone missing.

The social media post specifically claimed that Perhacs has yet to be seen eight months after she left a residential care facility.

"LINDA PERHACS FANS, WE NEED YOUR HELP. LINDA HAS GONE MISSING," the message began.

"Legendary singer-songwriter Linda Perhacs was discharged from a residential care facility approximately eight months ago under the supervision of her legal guardian," the post continued. "Since then, friends and longtime collaborators have been unable to reach her and repeated attempts to contact her guardian have reportedly gone unanswered."

The post was penned by Perhacs' former manager, Laurel Stearns, who shared a similar statement with People magazine, adding further information about the singer's apparent disappearance.

Per Stearns' statement, Perhacs' friends weren't "alleging wrongdoing," but were instead “seeking confirmation that Linda is safe, well, and receiving appropriate care, while expressing concern over the prolonged absence of communication with a beloved public figure.”

“As a public artist whose work has profoundly influenced musicians and listeners around the world, Linda’s well-being is of genuine concern to a broad community of admirers and colleagues,” Stearns said.

“Those issuing this statement respectfully request that anyone with verified information regarding Linda Perhacs’s current condition or means of contact reach out to her authorized representatives or designated point of contact," the statement continued. "The intention is not to intrude upon her privacy, but simply to ensure that she is safe and to re-establish communication with someone whose artistic contributions continue to resonate across generations.”

According to writer Jessica Hundley (Rolling Stone), Perhacs reportedly has dementia. However, Rundley added that she and Perhacs' other friends and family members have “called elder care and filed several police reports and have now retained a private investigator to help in finding her.”

“We are taking all measures,” Stearns went on to say. “Our priority here is to get the word out and make sure that she is safe and comfortable.”

Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere had fans feeling nostalgic during their red carpet appearance at the premiere of upcoming FX series, The Shards, on Monday — over 30 years after their parents, Cindy Crawfordand Richard Gere, were married.

In footage captured by creator Mickey Blank, the model, 24, and Euphoria star, 26, were seen on the red carpet together ahead of the show's August 5th release date. Fans online couldn't help but remark on the pair's connection through their famed parents, who were married from 1991-1995.

"So funny their parents were married at one time," one commenter said, while a second agreed, "It’s weird - I remember when their parents were married!"

"Remembering when it was the height of excitement to catch Cindy and Richard out in the wild at their favorite, Il Cantinori," another added, referring to a New York City hot spot the two would frequent.

"Ok, this is a bit too full circle for me," another said.

And while Crawford, 60, and Richard, 76, have a history, Gerber told Entertainment Tonight that she and Homer had never crossed paths before they started working together.

"I actually had never met Homer until we started filming the show," she said. "I met him about a week before we started, but it was so nice and honestly such a joy to work with. He's such a lovely person, and you know, he grew up East Coast, I grew up West Coast, but we've just gotten so close, and I couldn't have picked a better scene partner."

"I was just excited to meet him, honestly, and my mom's coming tonight," she added when asked about Crawford's reaction to her daughter's co-star.

Following Richard and Crawford's split, the Pretty Woman actor went on to marry Carey Lowell in 2002, with whom he shares Homer with. The two divorced in 2016. Gere then married Alejandra Silva, in 2018, and the two share two children.

Crawford, for her part, married businessman Rande Gerber in 1998. Along with Kaia, the two also share 27-year-old Presley Walker Gerber.

Marianne Ihlen passed away ten years ago in Norway, aged 81. She might not be a household name, but she inspired one of the most famous love songs of all time.

Ihlen met Leonard Cohen on a Greek island during the 1960s and became lovers. The song she inspired – "So Long, Marianne" – was one of the songwriter's most enduring tracks.

During their first years together, Ihlen inspired several of Cohen’s songs. Alongside “So Long, Marianne,” she inspired “Bird On A Wire,” and "Hey, That's No Way to Say Goodbye," and he dedicated his poetry collection, Flowers For Hitler, to her.

The back sleeve of Cohen's Songs from a Room features a famous photograph of her at Cohen's typewriter, draped in a white towel in their Greek home.

Ilhen described their meeting on the island of Hydra, explaining how she saw him standing in the doorway of a shop. "He was standing in the doorway with the sun behind him, and you don’t see the face, just the contours, and so I hear his voice saying 'would you like to join us? Come into the sun. We're sitting outside'. He was wearing a beautiful little sixpence cap. When my eyes met his, I felt it throughout my body," she said, per the Scotsman.

“Oh, those years were really good,” Ihlen told author Kari Hesthamar, per Uncut, about their time together. “Very good. We sat in the sun and we lay in the sun, we walked in the sun, we listened to music, we bathed, we played, we drank, we discussed. There was writing and lovemaking and…It was absolutely fabulous, you know, to have it like that. During five years I didn’t have shoes on my feet, you know…And I met many beautiful people. Now they are cast to the winds. Some are dead. Many are dead.”

Speaking to Canada’s CBC Radio, Ihlen’s friend and documentary maker Jan Christian Mollestad said that he had informed Cohen of Marianne's ill health and the "Hallelujah" singer had penned a letter just weeks before her passing.

A letter obtained by Cohen's estate reads: "I’m just a little behind you, close enough to take your hand. This old body has given up, just as yours has too. I’ve never forgotten your love and your beauty. But you know that. I don’t have to say any more. Safe travels old friend. See you down the road. Endless love and gratitude."

Leonard Cohen’s Facebook page also marked his muse's death. “The death last week of Marianne Ihlen, the woman immortalized in "So Long, Marianne", has evoked an overwhelming response from those who knew Marianne well, those who knew her only as Leonard Cohen’s muse, and even those who previously didn’t know there was a real Marianne,” a post said.

The 2014 book So Long, Marianne: A Love Story by Kari Hesthamar said she left Hydra in 1973. It alleges she moved back to her native Norway and started working for Norwegian Contractors, who specialized in the construction of offshore oil platforms. She continued to visit Hydra for vacations, her relationship with Cohen becoming distant after the birth of Cohen's son, Adam.

Leonard Cohen died four months after Marianne, in November 2016.

In 1978, Boston—comprising musicians Tom Scholz, Brad Delp, Barry Goudreau, Fran Sheehan and Sib Hashian—released a song that would inspire listeners for years to come; nearly five decades later, "Don't Look Back" remains a motivational hit. Urging people to move forward toward their goals, the rather lengthy runtime is cut off at just short of six minutes, totaling five minutes and 58 seconds.

Written by guitarist and frontman Scholz, it was released as the lead single and title track from the rock band's second studio album, Don't Look Back. The song is about being optimistic and finding inner strength, expressing sentiments like, "It's been too long since I felt this way / I don't mind (Ooh, where I get taken) / The road is callin', today is the day."

According to The Billboard Book of Number One Albums: The Inside Story Behind Pop Music's Blockbuster Records by music expert and journalist Craig Rosen (and currently, one of Parade's own), it may have been the leading single, but it was the last to be completed for the full album. According to Scholz, "It was one of those things where everything clicked. I didn't even record a demo for that song. I came up with chord changes, melody, and the arrangement and put it right on the master tape."

"Don't Look Back" remains one of the band's biggest hits. It was a smash in the U.S. and internationally, peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100. In total, it spent 13 weeks on the chart. The single also hit No. 6 in Canada, and No. 43 in the UK.

At the time of writing, it had racked up more than 62 million Spotify streams and 18 million YouTube views, speaking to its timelessness and generational transcendance. Fans chimed in on the classic rock masterpiece, with one writing, "in my opinion, this song has the best guitar solo of all time," in Genius' comments section under the song's lyrics. "This is my favorite Boston song. The lyrics are so positive, so uplifting! You can do anything after hearing this," another added.

July’s Full Moon—also known as 2026's Buck Moon—comes with an electrifying tone that few lunar events can match. Illuminating the sky on Wednesday, July 29, at 7:36 a.m. PST / 10:36 a.m. EST, the second Full Moon of the Summer is both loud and life-changing. According to expert astrologers, four zodiac signs will be the most impacted by this lunation: Aquarius, Taurus, Leo, and Scorpio.

Full Moons are monthly cosmic checkpoints of emotional acceleration and release—but this one, in particular, feels like an energetic portal. The July 29 Aquarius Full Moon is the climax of one of the rarest astrological alignments ever experienced. It is when the effects of The Cradle or the Barbault’s Basket are meant to be accentuated and deeply felt. 

Featuring a clash between the Sun and Jupiter in Leo with the Moon and Pluto in Aquarius, this lunar event is set to awaken your ambitious side. As the pressure to walk (or run) towards your most empowered version becomes unavoidable, you may find yourself torn between your mind and your heart. The key is to find a balance between logic and emotion, as it’s also necessary to find flow between your desire for attention and your desire for freedom. How can you feel seen and nurtured while honoring your thirst to color outside the lines? Let the light of the majestic Aquarius Full Moon show you how! 

Professional astrologers agree that the fixed signs—Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius—are bound to feel the effects of July’s Full Moon the most. 

July’s Full Moon is a potent moment for self-actualization, Aquarius. You’ll feel in the spotlight as some of the interests that have been emerging for quite some time fully crystallize now. It’s only natural to become extra emotional as the moonlight paves the way for radical honesty towards yourself and others. As a radical realignment toward your true essence accelerates now, it may disrupt the status quo within an important relationship. Luckily, you’re also beginning to realize how your emerging sense of authenticity magnetizes those who are fascinated by the refined and resilient person you are becoming. There’s no way back, Aquarius—July’s Buck Moon is a portal into that version of yourself that wants everything and fakes absolutely nothing. 

When it comes to your career, which changes have been begging to occur? To continue succeeding at the level you’re known for, it’s become clear that some changes need to take place. The potency of the July 29 Buck Moon is the energetic marker of the before and after when it comes to making your mark in your industry. You know the changes that need to be made, and this fiery lunar event is the fuel behind your future strategic moves and actions. Nothing can stop you from reaching the success that is meant for you. With Jupiter in Leo now blessing your home and family sector, you’re receiving support from your closest people. This strong foundation you’ve created—and that you’ll continue to reinforce—serves as the anchor for your success down the road. 

It may sound cliché—but it’s true. The potency of the July 29 Full Moon may feel like a voice hovering around your ear, saying, “It’s time to step into the spotlight!” With Jupiter, a key celestial player here, illuminating the way forward by opening doors, you have no choice but to cross them. The opportunities that come around at this Full Moon and even after are delivered by souls whose connection to you may feel karmic. There is an intensification of the energy you share with them, regardless of the nature of your bond. What are they here to teach you? And why do these souls feel so aligned with your life purpose? Full Moons are times of maximum illumination, so receive the messages the July 29 Full Moon brings with an open heart and an open mind. 

On June 29, Jupiter entered your tenth house of career and public visibility, boosting your professional visibility. As the gas giant faces off with Pluto, the planet of power, at this Full Moon, your ambition is set to magnify beyond measure. You’re making—and will continue to make—strides toward your goals, which is a beautiful thing. But because there is an energy of exaggeration in this Full Moon mix, you may be tempted to overpromise, overcommit, or overproduce. As a Scorpio, you were born with one of the strongest intuitions and a built-in gift of strategy, so don’t be afraid to use it when needing it the most. If a professional opportunity that you may not be ready for arrives, you may want to wait for the Full Moon furor to deflate before saying yes. 

While some horror movies are just continuously horrifying, others give audiences a break from the scares with an occasional silly scene, quippy dialogue, or some slapstick humor. For instance, on July 27, the publication Collider released a list of several horror films that many viewers will likely have a blast watching.

The ranking, titled "the 10 most fun horror movies of all time," included films like 2011's The Cabin in the Woods, the 1986 musical Little Shop of Horrors, Gremlins, released in 1984, Army of Darkness from 1992, and 1975'sJaws. According to Collider, the John Landis-directed and written 1981 movie, An American Werewolf in London, is the "most fun horror movie of all time."

The film, which has a score of 89 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, focuses on David Kessler (David Naughton) after an unfortunate encounter with a werewolf. As reported by Collider, the movie not only has a good amount of comedy, but it's also famous for its special effects, specifically a horrifying moment where David grotesquely sheds his human form and becomes a werewolf.

In a 2019 interview on The Joe Rogan Experience, the special effects makeup artist on An American Werewolf in London, Rick Baker, shared some insight into the revered horror scene. Baker said that Landis had requested him to create a realistically violent werewolf metamorphosis sequence, as opposed to what had been portrayed in past werewolf movies, specifically, 1941's The Wolf Man, starring Lon Chaney Jr..

"He said, 'I want to do a transformation in a way that has never been done before. It doesn't make sense to me that a man changing in his body, going through this metamorphosis would sit in a chair like Lon Chaney Jr. and be still until he finished changing. Because I think it would be painful. And I want him to be able to move, and I want to show the pain. And how would you do that?' 'I have no f--king idea, but I would love to know.' Because we both love those transformation scenes," recalled Baker during the 2019 interview.

Baker also shared that the memorable effect was created with the help of fake hands, hair "punch[ed] through rubber" placed on Naughton's body, and rubber heads.

In the 1970s, Susan Dey became a household name as a star on The Partridge Family, but unlike many former teen idols of that era, she eventually chose a life far away from Hollywood’s spotlight.

First cast as Laurie Partridge on The Partridge Family at age 17, Dey had no prior acting experience. She was a star on the musical ABCsitcom from 1970 to 1974 and became representative of more empowering roles for young women on television.

Dey was still famous enough to host Saturday Night Live years later, and she used her monologue to joke about her role as the keyboard-playing eldest Partridge sister.

“For four years I was Laurie Partridge on The Partridge Family,” Dey said in 1992. “I’d like to think I broke some ground there, not because I  was a female musician competing in a man’s world but because I was the first teenager in prime time to wear a pantsuit.”

In the 1980s, Dey made a major transition from her teen sitcom role to a serious, dramatic actress. Her biggest post-Partridge role was playing Grace Van Owen on L.A. Law from 1986 to 1992. Dey starred on the show for six seasons and won a Golden Globe. Dey continued to act sporadically until 2004, when she logged her final acting role on an episode of Third Watch.

When she was still acting, Dey distanced herself from The Partridge Family. In her 2013 book, Shirley Jones: A Memoir, her former TV mom Shirley Jones wrote, “Out of everyone on the show, only Susan consistently refuses to take part in any TV reunions of The Partridge Family.”

Dey, now 73, ultimately made a move to New York with her husband Bernard Sofronski. In May 2026, her Partridge Family co-star Danny Bonaduce told the Pop Culture Retro podcast that fame in general just wasn’t Dey’s “thing” and that she had chosen to live a private life in upstate New York.

“She has a normal job in upstate New York,” Bonaduce claimed. “A regular job with an office, but I don’t know if she still does it.”

As of July 2026, Dey was listed as a member of the board of directors of the MARK Project, an organization that works to “build resilient rural communities” in the small towns of the Catskills.

In her bio for the MARK Project, Dey revealed why she was drawn to the Catskills region.

“The land, the people, the history, the people, towns & villages, the food, and the people,” The Partridge Family alum shared. “ I’m excited to return to the MARK Board and grateful to serve with other committed residents of our interconnected communities. Together we will support the continuation of the MARK Project and its extraordinary accomplishments to preserve what we all love to be—the Catskills.”

For three decades, Sheri Moon Zombie has been the visual soul of her husband's horror films, appearing on screen in every movie Rob Zombie has directed since she first showed up in his 1993 video for "Superbeast." This week she stepped behind a microphone for the first time, and the target she picked for her debut was a different kind of monster, namely AI.

"I Love My Robot" arrives as Sheri Moon Zombie's first-ever single and video, produced by Chris "Zeuss" Harris, the same producer behind the score for Rob Zombie's 2022 film "The Munsters." The track pulls from lo-fi punk, with the sound reportedly inspired by the Japanese band Shonen Knife. The video that accompanies it was directed by her husband, marking a rare instance of Rob Zombie pointing the camera at Sheri without casting her in one of his films first, a pattern that began with 2003's "House of 1,000 Corpses" and ran through "The Devil's Rejects," the "Halloween" remakes and 2022's "The Munsters."

Despite the title, the song isn't a tribute to technology. Sheri Moon Zombie chants that she doesn't need the AI, closing the song's hook with the line that it's "a vampire sucking me dry." The video stays true to the couple's shared taste for B-movie camp: Sheri appears as a cheerleader rallying support for a robot while dancing alongside machines styled after 1950s sci-fi props.

A press description of the single says the song is anti-AI but pro-Roomba, a distinction that fits the song's tongue-in-cheek approach to a serious debate playing out across the music industry over generative technology.

The track gets a physical release on October 30 as a limited 12-inch picture disc through Nuclear Blast Records. The B-side is Rob Zombie's own "Sir Lord Acid Wolfman," pulled from his eighth solo album, "The Great Satan," released in February.

The release comes as Rob Zombie prepares for the Freaks on Parade tour with Marilyn Manson, a 21-date co-headlining run that begins August 20 in West Palm Beach and closes September 20 in Concord, California, with support from The Hu and Orgy. It is the fourth time the two shock-rock veterans have toured together since 2012.

For a couple who built an entire cinematic universe out of horror movies, "I Love My Robot" harks back to the zany kitsch of Zombie's "More Human Than Human" video, and it's refreshing to see Sheri Moon Zombie breaking out on her own.

It's been a long time since audiences last saw Rick Moranis on the big screen. But fortunately, we won't have to wait much longer to see the influential Canadian comedian reprise his famed role as Dark Helmet in the upcoming sequel, Spaceballs 2.

After entering a 30-year long retirement in 1997 for personal reasons, the 73-year-old Moranis is officially returning to the entertainment industry with the highly anticipated comedy film, Spaceballs 2.

Reflecting on his return to the industry after his lengthy absence, Moranis told fans at Comic-Con just how strange the entire experience has been.

“Well, I kept having to pinch myself because I would look at Daphne [Zuniga] and Bill [Pullman] and George Wyner. And then there were all these young people,” Moranis said at the event (via People). “And I realized I was their age 39 years ago when we made this. And here we are now and my kids are the age of this.”

“I felt like I was in a time warp, but I was in that outfit and wearing the helmet," the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids star continued. "And it just felt very strange to be honest with you. But it started to feel really good and I really started to love it.”

Moranis's return comes 30 years after his previous role in 1997's Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves. While the actor has since occasionally appeared in voice acting performances, he has mostly been focused on his family, raising his two children after the tragic death of his wife in 1991.

Of course, the comedian remains well-known for starring in a variety of movies and TV shows throughout the '80s and '90s, including such hits as Second City Television, Strange Brew, Ghostbusters, Little Shop of Horrors, Spaceballs and Parenthood, among many others.

Spaceballs: The New One will land in theaters on April 23, 2027, exactly 40 years after the original's release in 1987.

Bruce Campbell is going through his cancer battle with "tons of hope," as the actor gives an honest update months after revealing his diagnosis to fans.

The Evil Dead star took to social media months ago to announce that he was going through a health issue known as cancer. He added that his diagnosis was treatable, but not curable, without divulging the exact form of cancer. While assuring fans that he is a "tough old son-of-a-b*tch," he opened up on Tuesday's episode of the Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum podcast about the journey so far.

“I think I’m doing as well as you can do for having cancer," he said. “I go through most of my day not thinking that I have any cancer. It’s a bit of a whack-a-mole life that I have to get used to.”

Campbell admits that the first few months after receiving the diagnosis were a series of "bad" information coming his way. He adds that there was "a lot of schooling" and meetings that he didn't want to be a part of.

“For breakfast, we’d have a s--- sandwich with a side of what the f---,” he quipped. “That was a couple month period where the information would come in all of it’s cryptic or bad or whatever.”

Above all, the Burn Notice star says that attending the cancer meetings was his least favorite due to them being "boring" and "time-consuming." Especially since they are mandatory and he had to show up because of the scans. Reiterating his original post about his cancer diagnosis, he's not curable, and his form of cancer is "something that will be with me until I croak, which, with treatment, is earlier than you want to croak."

The actor had an optimistic view of his journey thus far and plans to do treatments that he can "deal with, and that works" for the time being. He's also realistic in understanding that "If your body wants to kill you, it’ll f---ing kill you," but still holds on to "tons of hope" for his future. The cancer diagnosis has even given the horror icon a new perspective on life.

“If you want to get your financial house in order from A to Z, get cancer. If you want to rekindle with friends and family that you haven’t talked to in decades, get cancer,” he said. “If you want to refocus your life, laser focus only on the things that bring you joy and remove the drudgery from your life forever, get cancer," he explained.

The actor isn't necessarily stepping away from his career, as he was the executive producer on Evil Dead Burn and the upcoming 2028 installment, Evil Dead Wrath. He also voices the character Stan in Invincible.

We're all heard of songs that were banned on the radio and such over the years.

One time, a controversial hit received so much heat that it was actually removed from the music artist's album entirely. Tuesday, July 28 marks exactly 34 years since Warner Bros. Records took said action.

To explain: Ice-T announced on July 28, 1992 that the label would pull "Cop Killer" from all future copies of his "Body Count" LP, per the Los Angeles Times.

The song was condemned by President George Bush and had been the target of protests from multiple law enforcement agencies, who said "Cop Killer" advocates the murder of police.

"The song isn’t just the only issue," Ron DeLord, president of the Combined Law Enforcement Assn. of Texas (CLEAT), said at the time, per the LA Times. "What bothered us was that this company was willing to exploit the advocation of the murder of police to earn a buck. We’re not going to be happy until Time Warner admits that they made a mistake.”

Ice, 68, had also announced that he would offer free copies of the song to anyone still interested in hearing it, saying, "I’ll bring it back to South Central and give it away free at concerts."

Earlier this year, the Grammy winner — who ironically plays an investigator on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit — opened up about his decision to change the "Cop Killer" lyrics while performing at Warper Tour. In January, he explained on The Breakfast Club how he modernized the title to fit the political climate targeting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, per Billboard.

“When I did that, that didn’t happen just recently; that happened in L.A. when we played the Warped Tour,” he said. “When I was there, ICE was active out there. I’m in the midst of ICE raids. I’m in front of an L.A. audience and it just came up.”

Soap opera legend Brenda Dickson has been arrested for battery.

A former Miss California who danced for the armed forces with Bob Hope, Dickson, 77, rose to stardom when she originated the role of Jill Foster Abbott on the beloved soap, The Young and the Restless. She starred on the series from 1973 to 1980, and then returned from 1983 to 1987.

Recent news indicates that Dickson is in a bit of trouble. TMZ.com is reporting that Dickson was arrested and booked on July 9 for misdemeanor battery on a person, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office. She was released that same day on her own recognizance. Both the identity of the victim and their relationship to Dickson were not released.

In addition to her time on The Young and the Restless, Dickson made appearances on Love, American Style, and Falcon Crest.

Dickson wrote a book, My True Hidden Hollywood Story: My Memoir of Sexual Harassment, Blacklisting, and Love Affairs with some of the most Powerful Men in Hollywood, in which she shared that she ended up broke and homeless after being blacklisted from Hollywood by legendary daytime producer William J. Bell, the New York Post reported.

“I am fighting back,” she told The Post at the time of the book's 2013 publication.

Dickson claimed she began an affair with Bell when she was just 21 years old. She was fired 15 years later and says she has been blocked from working in the industry ever since.

Dickson claims she also had relationships with everyone from retail icon Fred Segal and Congressman Barry Goldwater to On Golden Pond playwright Ernest Thomas and The Waltons star Richard Thomas.

If you take levothyroxine, you may want to check your medicine cabinet.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has classified a nationwide recall of certain levothyroxine sodium tablets as a Class II recall after the medication was found to be potentially "subpotent," meaning some tablets may contain less active ingredient than intended.

Levothyroxine is commonly prescribed to treat hypothyroidism and other thyroid-related conditions. The recalled medication was distributed by Major Pharmaceuticals, and the affected products include multiple strengths. The recall covers certain lots of 25 mcg, 50 mcg, 75 mcg, 88 mcg, 112 mcg, 125 mcg and 150 mcg tablets.

The FDA's Class II designation means the recalled products could cause temporary or medically reversible health consequences, although the probability of serious adverse effects is considered remote.

The recall was initiated by Major Pharmaceuticals on July 13 and classified by the FDA on July 17. The affected products were distributed nationwide.

If you take levothyroxine, check the medication's packaging against the FDA's recall information, including the product's strength, lot number and expiration date. If you discover that your medication is part of the recall, contact your pharmacist or health care provider about getting a replacement and what to do with the affected medication. Patients should not make changes to prescribed thyroid medication without medical guidance.

The FDA's recall information provides the complete list of affected products and lot numbers.

Hayley Erbert is mourning the loss of her beloved stepfather, Jim

"It has been a week since Jim left us earth side, a week since his beautiful soul was set free," Erbert captioned an emotional Instagram post on Tuesday, July 28. "He was the best bonus dad there was, even though 'bonus' will never be a big enough word. He showed me that being a dad isn’t about biology. It’s about showing up. It’s about consistency, patience, protection, and love."

Erbert went on to say that she was "lucky" to have had Jim in her life, calling him selfless, kind, calm, and funny. She included some photos from her wedding to Hough taken in August 2023. The professional dancer also included some sweet memories of her and Hough's daughter, Everley, with Jim.

"To know him is to love him," Erbert continued. "Everley didn’t have nearly as much time with him as any of us wish she could’ve, but she now has the best guardian angel. I will love you forever, Jim. And I will miss you even more."

Many of Erbert's friends and fans left their condolences in the comments section of the post.

"Jim will always and forever live in our hearts as we continue to keep his presence alive. Love you Jim, wrapping you all in love," wrote Erbert's sister-in-law, Julianne Hough.

"I'm so sorry for your loss sending you and your family so much love," said former Dancing With the Stars pro Lindsay Arnold.

News of Jim's death comes more than one year after Erbert and Hough asked fans for their prayers as Jim, who had been diagnosed with cancer, was preparing for a "high-risk surgery to remove a large tumor."

Jim made it out of surgery, though Erbert's mom, Debbie Schwartz, admitted that he had a "long road ahead."

Erbert didn't share Jim's cause of death.

Mick Fleetwood is more than the man behind the band's name. He's the reason Fleetwood Mac survived its highest highs and lowest lows.

In the band's early years, Mick was constantly rebuilding the lineup as members cycled in and out. By the late 1970s, he'd become the glue holding the group together through drug abuse, infidelity and betrayals playing out among his bandmates.

The band started out as a blues combo, led by guitarist Peter Green. He, like Mick and bassist John McVie, had come up playing in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. 

When Peter named the group, he was already thinking about leaving it. "Because I knew I was probably going to leave," he later recalled, per BBC. "I always wanted Mick and John to have a job."

The band scored several hits in the late 1960s, including "Albatross," "Oh Well," and "Black Magic Woman." The latter would later become an international hit for Santana. 

At the same time, Peter’s life was unraveling. His song "The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown)" hinted at the drug-induced psychosis that would soon end his time in the band.

"I don't know why I left the group in the end," Peter wrote in Mick’s book, Love That Burns. "I know that people looked at me like I was in a dream. I could tell that, even at the time."

After he departed, Fleetwood Mac went through several lineup changes. Eventually, the band brought in John's wife, Christine McVie, who'd already made a name for herself with the blues band Chicken Shack.

She'd go on to write several of the band's most beloved songs, including "Songbird," "Don't Stop," "Over My Head" and "You Make Loving Fun."

The band's next turning point came in 1974. While visiting Sound City Studios in Los Angeles, Mick heard "Frozen Love," a track from the album Buckingham Nicks. 

Impressed by Lindsey Buckingham's guitar work, Mick quickly offered him a spot in the band. Lindsey agreed, but only if his musical partner and girlfriend, Stevie Nicks, came along too. 

The duo officially joined Fleetwood Mac on December 31, 1974. It didn't take long for the Buckingham-Nicks lineup to change Fleetwood Mac's trajectory. 

The band's 1975 self-titled album sold more than 500,000 copies in its first year, driven by songs like "Rhiannon," "Say You Love Me," and "Over My Head." 

"Landslide" wasn't initially one of those hits, but it would become one of the band's signature songs.

With the five members of its classic lineup finally together, Fleetwood Mac found the combination that would define its sound. Lindsey, Stevie, Mick, Christine and John would soon turn the band's rock-and-pop blend into a worldwide phenomenon. 

But the band's success was soon shadowed by the end of Lindsey and Stevies’ relationship. The two split in 1976, just as Fleetwood Mac was about to begin recording Rumours. 

Their breakup became part of the music, with the tension between them surfacing in "Dreams," "Go Your Own Way," "The Chain" and "Silver Springs," which was left off the original album.

Released in 1977, Rumours has since sold more than 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums in music history.

Over the years, the lineup changed as members came and went. Lindsey left in 1987 and returned a decade later, while Stevie took breaks to focus on her solo career. 

Despite the ups and downs, Mick’s gamble on two relatively unknown musicians created something far greater than he could have imagined — and fans are grateful he took the chance.
