Collectible popcorn buckets have become a full-blown phenomenon, and this latest one might just be the most creative yet. 

Cinemark Theaters has unveiled a special edition bucket for the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic Michael, and it doubles as a wearable hat.

The bucket is designed to look like the King of Pop's iconic black fedora, complete with the film's title italicized along the side. It measures 15 inches wide and 5 inches tall, holds up to 85 ounces of popcorn, and can be worn on your head once you've finished snacking. 

The bucket costs $21.95 and was released onlineThursday, April 9 and promptly sold out. But not to worry, the bucket will also hit theaters nationwide when Michael releases later this spring.

As for the film itself, the casting couldn't be more fitting. Jaafar Jackson, who is the 29-year-old son of Jermaine Jackson and nephew of Michael, will be making his film debut in the title role. Jaafar first learned about the project when he came across an article announcing that producer Graham King, the man behind Bohemian Rhapsody, had acquired the rights to tell Michael's story. Two months later, King reached out directly.

What followed was a two-year process of auditioning, working with an acting coach, and gradually transforming into one of the most recognizable figures in music history. Jaafar has admitted he never set out to be an actor (he had his sights set on professional golf before pivoting to music) but growing up watching his uncle's videos and films laid an unexpected foundation.

"That process of seeing me slowly transform into Michael was emotional," he said on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon on April 2, describing it as both "surreal and a spiritual moment at the same time."

Michael hits theaters April 24.

An iconic actress who starred on The Waltons and earned four Emmy Awards during the height of her career is celebrating her 87th birthday. Michael Learned, who played Olivia Walton on The Waltons, was born on April 9, 1939.

The Waltons aired from 1972 to 1981, and Learned starred on the show through eight of its nine seasons. In September 2025, Learned talked with Steve Kmetko on his Still Here Hollywood podcast about her decision to leave when she did.

Learned said she never regretted her decision to leave The Waltons. "They didn't know what to do with me...as an actor, it was just boring," she admitted.

She recalled that as she bid farewell to the series, "I wept because we were such a family, even the crew, we were all really close and like a family." However, Learned added, "But on the other hand, I got tired of [the show]."

Learned may have grown bored by the lack of storyline for her character on The Waltons, but she did earn three Emmy Awards for her work. She won the best or outstanding actress in a drama category in 1973, 1974, and 1976.

Learned had been acting for a decade before landing The Waltons. Despite all of her previous experience, playing Olivia Walton was the role that catapulted her to stardom.

In 1981, Learned debuted as Mary Benjamin on the series Nurse. She won an Emmy in 1982 for that role, too.

After Nurse ended, Learned continued to act. She appeared in dozens of primetime series, and Learned took on some soap opera work over the years, as well. Some may remember that in 2011, Learned took on the role of Katherine Chancellor on The Young and the Restless for 11 episodes.

Despite leaving before The Waltons before the end of its run, Learned did reconnect with the cast for some subsequent Waltonsmovies. The last acting role Learned took on was to play Catherine Dahmer, the grandmother of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, in five episodes of the 2022 series Monster.

When Learned was asked about her legacy during the Kmetko podcast, she replied, "I don't care. I don't need to have a legacy. I just want my kids to speak kindly of me, and they do."

On April 10, 1912, the magnificent RMS Titanic left the port of Southampton, England, embarking on a maiden voyage that would never reach its final destination, instead sinking four days later in the North Atlantic after colliding with a massive iceberg.

Its doomed journey, however, would later inspire the century’s biggest movie.

Widely regarded as the defining film of the 20th century, James Cameron’s Titanic was a colossal success. It was the first film to break into the big B’s, eventually totaling more than $2 billion against a $200 million budget. It was nominated for a record 14 Academy Awards, winning a whopping 11. And it gifted the world with unforgettable characters, legendary lines, and an iconic movie song whose cultural impact will always go on and on.

Of course, Titanic did have its haters. One of which was its leading man, Leonardo DiCaprio. In the early days of the film’s production, according to People, the actor chosen to play Jack Dawson, the penniless third-class passenger who romances the corset off of the affluent Rose Dewitt-Bukater, played by Kate Winslet, was initially resistant to accepting the role, calling the script “boring.”

Side note: We can only imagine DiCaprio hadn't gotten to Act II of the script, when the narrative shifts from epic romance to epic adventure, with Cameron meticulously capturing every harrowing detail of the sinking ship.

“He didn’t want to do a leading man,” Cameron told the outlet at the 2023 Golden Globes. “I had to really twist his arm to be in the movie. He didn’t want to do it. He thought it was boring.”

These days, DiCaprio has changed his tune, sharing with Deadline last December his immense pride in being part of the film, calling it a transformative experience that allowed him the freedom to steer his own career.

"No regrets,” he said. “I look back at that film and realize the thanks and the appreciation that I have for being a part of it, and to have been able to … be able to be the conductor of my own choices since. That has been just the greatest gift."

So, yes, he loves the film now … even if he’s never seen it a full way through; the actor notoriously doesn’t watch his own movies. But that doesn’t mean you can’t!

Stream the epic romance-adventure genre hybrid again in all its awe, heartbreak, and cinematic glory to remember those lost on that fateful April 14.

Just hours after it was reported that actress Natasha Lyonne was escorted off a Delta Airlines flight, she has a few things to say on the matter. Her message, however, is subject to interpretation.

Lyonne allegedly boarded a Los Angeles to New York City Delta Airlines flight directly following her appearance at the Euphoria Season 3 Premiere on Tuesday evening. Reports say she was acting "out of it" and not following the safety instructions from the flight crew, which ultimately got her escorted off the plane.

In response to the reports, Lyonne took to X not long ago, saying: "My heart is with all the unpaid TSA agents at our airports. Sure was looking forward to speaking honestly with @DrewBarrymore yesterday but guess wasn’t in the cards. Who owns page six/New York Post now again?"

My heart is with all the unpaid TSA agents at our airports. 💞 Sure was looking forward to speaking honestly with @DrewBarrymore yesterday but guess wasn’t in the cards. Who owns page six/New York Post now again?

— natasha lyonne (@nlyonne) April 9, 2026

It would be purely speculative to try to interpret exactly what the Poker Face actress is saying in her message, but here are the facts about what we do know:

• Lyonne is referring to the fact that Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) agents have been forced to work without pay (since February 14) due to the government shutdown and because they are categorized as essential workers. Last week, some but not all TSA officers reportedly received back pay; however, there is still uncertainty about back pay and ongoing pay for all TSA agents until Congress reaches a deal.
• The actress was scheduled to appear on The Drew Barrymore Show on Wednesday, April 8, 2026. Lyonne presumably missed this scheduled appearance because she was escorted off the flight to New York City.
• Page Six and the New York Post are owned by News Corp, a global media conglomerate controlled by the Murdoch family.

And for whatever it's worth, Lyonne also posted this new photo on her Instagram, too, but appears to only be shouting out the crew who put together her look for the photo. There is no mention of the incident aboard the flight.

View this post on Instagram

A couple weeks ago, Lyonne posted a hopeful update following her publicly confirmed relapse, saying, “Proud to report this kid is doing a whole lot better & back on her feet.” The Orange Is the New Black actress has been very candid about her issues with substance use over the years.

Before Harrison Ford was outrunning boulders in Indiana Jones or leading rebellions in Star Wars, he was a college student with severe depression who could barely make it to class.

In a new interview with The Hollywood Reporter shared on Thursday, April 9, the 83-year-old actor reflected on his time at Ripon College in Wisconsin, where he majored in philosophy and, by his own account, largely confined himself to his single dorm room. 

"I would get up out of my single bed, go to a phone, order a pizza, go back and lay down in bed until the pizza came," Ford told the outlet. "I would eat the pizza, throw the wrappers in the corner, go back to sleep."

And if he did make it to campus, he often couldn't bring himself to go inside. "On the rare occasion I did go to the classroom, I would often touch the door on the outside of the building, and turn around and walk back," he said.

Ford was honest about the fact that what he was experiencing went well beyond ordinary college struggles. "I was more than depressed. I think I was ill. I was socially ill, psychologically not well," he explained to the outlet. The turning point came when he signed up for a drama class completely by accident.

"I accidentally—in an attempt to get my grade-point-average up—took a class called 'drama' without reading the full description of the class," he said, adding that he had no idea he'd actually have to perform. “It started out in the description talking about reading and analyzing plays, but I didn’t read the part where it said that you had to actually be in them as well, so that was a surprise.”

What he found inside that classroom surprised him. He discovered he was "amongst storytellers"—people he'd written off as fellow geeks who turned out to be "some of the most interesting people I knew."

He ultimately left Ripon without a degree, but that accidental drama class set everything in motion. "It really changed my world, changed my life," Ford said.

And it's a story Ford has clearly been sitting with. He shared a version of it when he accepted the SAG-AFTRA Lifetime Achievement Award on March 1, and in a full-circle moment, he's heading back to a college campus. Arizona State University announced that Ford will deliver the commencement address to its undergraduate Class of 2026 on May 11 in Tempe, where he will also receive an honorary Doctor of Arts and Humane Letters degree.

Now that spring is in full swing, it's time to update our seasonal wardrobes—including investing in trending denim, which means taking notes on the best jean colors for spring 2026!

This season, there are all kinds of jean colors to look out for that are perfect for outdoor walks, nights outs and just about everything in between. Think unexpected shades and washes that'll go with every spring outfit and activity.

Plus, according to celebrity stylist Victoria Gentile—who has styled stars like Love Island USA's Huda Mustafa and Jamaican singer Popcaan—there are so many more options available than you might realize. "Denim is way more diverse than just blue jeans," she tells Parade.

If you're on the hunt for your next great jean wash as we celebrate being done with winter, Gentile suggests these seven best denim colors for spring 2026 and provides inspiring examples of how to style them.

The Most Common Colors of Denim

According to Gentile, there are a ton of great options when it comes to looking for the right color of denim.

The first two primary washes are essentially separated into two categories. The celebrity stylist explains that these include light washes, such as "soft, faded blues," as well as mid-washes like "classic everyday blue."

Others are washes that are not as typical might come in a darker wash like a "dark indigo."

"This is a deep, rich blue that feels more elevated," she says.

Of course, there are a slew of other washes, but the most popular other ones include "black denim, gray or charcoal," she shares, "as well as white or ecru for a cleaner look."

"You’re also seeing more directional tones like vintage acid wash, dirty wash, which is a slightly tinted wash with brown or yellow undertones," she explains. "And even colored denim like soft pastels or earthy neutrals. The difference really comes down to how saturated, faded or tinted the fabric is—and that completely changes the vibe of an outfit."

What Jean Colors Are in Style?

Looking relaxed and trying to give off a collected, casual look is so in, shares Gentile, as she says a lot of jean color trends for spring are really about "that effortless, lived-in feel."

"Vintage-inspired washes are leading," she tells Parade. "Think light and mid-wash denim with a slightly worn look."

Another trending shift is turning towards lighter shades of denim, such as ecru and off-white denim, the celeb stylist points out.

"It feels really fresh and elevated for everyday wear," she explains, adding, "Dark indigo is having a moment again, too, especially styled in a more polished, almost tailored way."

But if you really want to be en vogue, "gray denim and muted, earthy tones" are the way to go.

"Washed olive or brown-tinted denim are everywhere," she states. "They give you something different while still being super wearable."

What Colors Go With a Jean Jacket?

Jean jackets are versatile, but choosing just the right colors to match a jean jacket can be hard to pinpoint, depending on the look you're going for.

"If you want something really clean and intentional, I always recommend mixing washes, like a light wash jacket with darker jeans, or vice versa," says Gentile. "That contrast makes the outfit feel styled rather than matchy."

That being said, "If you love a full denim moment, a matching set in the same wash can look amazing, especially in mid or dark tones; it feels very put-together right now," she tells Parade.

And for those looking into a more sophisticated look that they can wear out to dinner or dress up a little bit, Gentile says pairing white or black denim, in particular, with a jean jacket can look really polished.

"For something a bit more elevated, pairing a denim jacket with white/ecru jeans or even black denim is such an easy win," she shares. "It breaks up the look while still keeping that denim-on-denim feel."

7 Best Jean Colors for Spring 2026, According to a Celebrity Stylist

If you're looking for the next great jean color for spring, Gentile says these work for the upcoming season because they "feel lighter, more versatile and are easy to mix into outfits."

1. Light wash blue

A must-have for spring, this denim wash is the ultimate color this season due to how clean it looks.

"Light wash denim is always a spring staple because it feels fresh, effortless and seasonally appropriate," says Gentile. "This year, the slightly vintage, worn-in versions are especially popular, giving that 'off-duty' look."

2. Vintage mid-wash blue

Now here's a wash you can pull off any day of the week. A vintage mid-wash blue works so well because you can pretty much pair it with anything in your wardrobe. It can look both casual and upscale, depending on how you style it.

"Mid-wash is that perfect in-between, not too light, not too dark, making it incredibly versatile," Gentile says. "It’s an easy everyday option that still feels styled."

3. Dark indigo

Dark indigo wasn't always the go-to denim wash for a lot of people. But recently, it's had a bit of a resurgence, according to Gentile. Plus, it works best for those higher-end outfits.

"Dark indigo is making a strong comeback, especially in more tailored or structured silhouettes," she states. "It feels elevated and polished compared to lighter washes, which is why people are leaning into it for dressier, more refined outfits. It’s a great way to make denim feel a bit more sophisticated."

4. Ecru or off-white

"Ecru and off-white denim instantly freshen up your wardrobe for spring," says Gentile. "They offer a softer alternative to stark white and feel more wearable day-to-day."

Not only that, but the shade has been getting a lot of love lately because it's both effortless and gives off a nominal aesthetic.

"This shade has been trending because it gives a clean, minimal and elevated look without trying too hard," she says.

5. Washed black

Not everyone is into the light, airy colors and textures of spring, and that's OK. According to Gentile, a washed black jean is perfect for those who still want to maintain some attitude in their everyday wear—even if it does happen to be the season of soft colors.

"Washed black denim is perfect if you still want a bit of edge going into spring," she shares. "The faded effect softens the heaviness of true black, making it more seasonally appropriate. It’s popular right now because it balances cool and casual while still feeling intentional."

6. Soft gray

Edward Berthelot/Getty Images

A soft gray shade works perfectly if you're tired of your old blue jeans.

"Gray denim is a great neutral alternative to classic blue or black," says Gentile. "The softer tones feel modern and slightly unexpected, which is why they’re trending this season."

7. Earth-toned denim

Palettes that are rooted in olive greens and brown hues are endlessly a good choice for spring, and they're trending right now, according to Gentile.

"Earth-toned denim is having a moment because it ties into the broader shift toward warm, natural palettes," she explains. "These tones feel grounded, unique and still very wearable. They add interest to an outfit while staying subtle and easy to style."

Seventy-six years ago today, on April 9, 1950, legendary entertainer Bob Hope made his first national television appearance, an event that helped change the future of entertainment. 

The moment came on Easter Sunday when he hosted the NBC variety special Star Spangled Revue, widely recognized as his official debut on network television.

The show, sponsored by Frigidaire, introduced Hope to a coast-to-coast TV audience for the first time. It also featured a strong lineup of performers, including Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Beatrice Lillie, Dinah Shore and a young Frank Sinatra, who was also making his own television debut that night.

The broadcast marked a turning point not only for Hope, but for television itself, as one of the biggest stars of radio and film officially stepped into the new medium.

By 1950, Hope was already one of the most famous entertainers in America. His success on the radio, especially with The Pepsodent Show, and his growing film career made him a trusted name in comedy. But television was still new, and many stars had not yet embraced it.

Hope’s appearance on Star Spangled Revue changed that. It proved that major entertainers could succeed on TV just as they had on radio and in movies. His fast-paced jokes, simple humor and friendly style translated well to the screen, making audiences feel as if he were speaking directly to them.

This first national appearance led to decades of television success. Beginning in the early 1950s, Hope became known for his regular TV specials, including holiday shows that millions of families watched every year. He would go on to host the Academy Awards a record 19 times and remain a familiar face on television for over four decades.

From Vaudeville Roots to Television Pioneer

Hope’s journey to television success began long before he stepped in front of a TV camera. Born in London in 1903, he moved to the United States as a child and grew up in Cleveland, Ohio. As a young boy, he performed on the streets, singing and dancing to earn money.

He later worked his way into show business through vaudeville, where he developed his comedy style. He then moved to Broadway in the 1930s before finding success in radio and film. By the time television arrived, Hope was already one of the biggest stars in the country.

He starred in more than 70 films, including a popular series of Road to… movies with Bing Crosby. Their chemistry on screen became legendary and helped boost Hope’s fame even further.

Even as trends changed, Hope remained active. His television career continued well into the 1990s. He made guest appearances on popular shows and celebrated major milestones, including a special for his 90th birthday that won an Emmy Award.

Beyond entertainment, Hope also became known for his work with the United Service Organizations (USO), performing for troops around the world for decades. In 1997, he was named an honorary veteran.

Hope lived to be 100 years old, passing away in 2003. By then, he had become one of the most honored entertainers in history, with thousands of awards and recognitions.

Former Counting On and 19 Kids and Counting star Jill Duggar's husband, Derick Dillard, just made a shocking career switch-up after working as an attorney.

On Thursday, April 9, the couple—who have been married since 2014—took to Instagram to tease a major family update. They directed followers to their blog, which revealed that Derick—who passed the BAR exam in 2022, officially becoming a licensed attorney—had enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps.

"Derick has joined the Marine Corps!" they began the message. "He has been selected for Marine Corps Officer Candidate School (OCS)!"

The announcement featured a photo of Derick raising his right hand while standing across from another man as his and Jill's three sons, Israel, 11, Samuel, 8, and Freddy, 3, looked on.

In a "few weeks," Derick will ship out for active duty to Quantico, Va., they explained. From there, he will "commission as an officer at the end of OCS and then go on to a couple of other trainings before getting his assignment as a Marine Corps JAG officer!" (A JAG officer, for those unfamiliar, is an attorney who is a commissioned military officer and provides legal services to the military command and personnel.)

The blog update continued, "Becoming a military JAG officer has been something Derick has wanted to do for a long time and he even received a recruiting letter last year from the Marine Corps, but the timing just wasn’t right for our family, and then by the time we were ready, we weren’t sure the opportunity would still be available."

View this post on Instagram

Additionally, Jill and Derick shared that he started the process in early March—and that things will continue to move quickly. "Lord willing, after Derick’s 10 weeks of intense training at OCS, Jill and the kids will move to join him in Virginia, and then Rhode Island for the remainder of his training," the blog added.

To conclude the update, Derick and Jill wrote, "We’d appreciate your prayers for health and strength for Derick as he prepares for and trains at OCS, and for the rest of us as we survive without him for a bit and prepare for new family transitions!"

The Dillards' followers reacted to the surprising family and career news in the comments of their Instagram post. One wrote, "Thank you for your service, Derick. Prayers to you on this journey 🙏🏻."

Another fan exclaimed, "This is awesome! Welcome to the military family!"

Someone else echoed, "Congratulations Derrick, hope you have a very successful military career. I’m sure your wife and kids are very proud."

A different follower commented, "Congratulations and welcome to the military spouse/family world! 🇺🇸."

Meanwhile, yet another Instagram user wrote, "The best of luck, hope Derrick finds his true calling and passion and you enjoy him serving and being a part of something special and meaningful in your futures. Sounds like a chance of a lifetime for each of you."

Just like the changing seasons may make you want to refresh your wardrobe, they often inspire retailers to drop new styles and colors to match that energy. A fresh, nature-inspired shade like Lululemon's willow leaf is exactly the kind of seasonal update that can make beloved pieces feel brand new again. Bringing a calm, earthy vibe that works for everything from active days to relaxed weekends, the green fabric absolutely screams spring.

Two standout yoga pant styles at Lululemon top our list of must-haves for spring: the BeCalm Mid-Rise Wide-Leg Pant and the Rulu Drapey Oversized High-Rise Yoga Jogger. Both are already favorites for their comfort and versatility, and the new shade adds a delightful, seasonal touch.

These soft and flowy pants are ideal for wearing everywhere from pilates to planes. Shoppers described them as "comfortable beyond words," and with the willow leaf shade currently available in all sizes from XXS through XL in both styles, now is the time to snag a pair before they get snatched up.

With a relaxed fit and a comfortable mid-rise waist, these wide-leg yoga pants were designed to move with you. The fabric's 95% modal and 5% elastane blend has four-way stretch, an elegant drape, and an elevated, buttery-soft feel. It's also breathable, making these pants ideal for exercising or outdoor activities, even as the weather warms up. 

Shoppers particularly loved the flat but sturdy pockets, a rarity in pants with such flowy fabric. One shared that "they hold the weight of my phone or keys but don't drag my pants down." As a bonus, one of the pockets even has a hidden card sleeve inside, so you can truly wear these pants without carrying anything else.

All-in on fit, function, and features, reviewers loved that these pants work well for all sorts of activities but are equally comfy to relax in. "These are great for a chill restorative yoga class or lounging at home," one shopper said.

The exaggerated, roomy fit of these high-rise joggers gives them a trendy silhouette that shoppers said is "comfortably baggy without looking oversized or dragging." Tapered through the leg, they're fitted at the waist with a stylishly wide flare that cinches back in at the ankle and stays put as you flow through inverted poses.

Designed with workouts in mind, the nylon and Lycra elastane blend fabric is designed to prevent odor-causing bacteria. Sweat-wicking and quick-drying with four-way stretch, shoppers were incredibly impressed by the fabric's performance during intense activities like hot yoga and strength training. 

Meant to be worn at the natural waist, the extra-wide waistband is flat and smooth, and it won't dig into your skin, even through lots of bending and stretching. Pockets on either side add functionality, and there's also a small pocket in the waistband to tuck a key or card for safekeeping.

Made to meet the high-quality standards Lulumeon is known for, these pants both have a luxurious look and feel that holds up beautifully wash after wash. The willow leaf color is a neutral green shade that works with everything from earth tones to brights, making either style easy to mix into your existing wardrobe.

Whether you go with the BeCalm Mid-Rise Wide-Leg Pant or the Rulu Drapey Oversized High-Rise Yoga Jogger, it's hard to beat the comfort and versatility of Lululemon's stylish yoga pants — especially a beautifully on-trend color for spring. One shopper said it best: "I literally want to live in them." We couldn't agree more.

What was Final Jeopardy today?

Final Jeopardy today was in the category "Writers In Residence."

The clue:  "In 1759 he purchased Ferney, the French home where he lived for 2 decades, largely because of its proximity to the Swiss border."

The answer:  Who is Voltaire?

This was a clue steeped in European literary history. Jamie was the only contestant to answer correctly, though it barely mattered, as he had locked in a smooth runway going into the break. His conservative $827 wager was purely mathematical, nudging his cumulative total to a clean $572,600. Prithish and Alexandra both missed the answer, with Prithish guessing "Wyss" and Alexandra unable to come up with a response, after wagering $100 and $601, respectively.

Ding will be back again tomorrow to aim for his 21st win.

Afrika Bambaataa, one of the founding figures of hip hop, has died at the age of 67.

TMZ first reported the news, with sources confirming he passed away from complications of cancer at around 3 AM in Pennsylvania.

Born in the Bronx, Bambaataa (whos real name is Lance Taylor) came up through the streets, joining the local gang the Black Spades and rising to the position of "warlord." Beginning in the 1970s, he started hosting parties where hip hop could take root, and those gatherings quickly grew into massive block parties and break dancing competitions across the South Bronx.

His recording career launched in 1980 with his debut single "Zulu Nation Throwdown," a nod to the Universal Zulu Nation, the art collective he founded for socially conscious rappers, graffiti artists, B-boys, and others involved in hip hop culture. Two years later, his landmark track "Planet Rock" climbed to number four on the U.S. R&B chart.

He was also known for having a record collection so massive and diverse that some gave him the nickname "Master of Records.” 

Bambaataa's influence stretched beyond the booth. In 1985, he was part of the star-studded anti-apartheid project "Sun City," joining the likes of Joey Ramone, Run-D.M.C., and U2.

But in his later years, Bambaataa faced serious legal troubles after multiple men came forward accusing him of sexually abusing them in the 1980s and 1990s. In 2025, a judge issued a default judgment against him after he failed to appear in court in a sex trafficking case, resulting in a settlement payout.

Best-selling author Dan Brown's thriller-mystery novel The Da Vinci Code is ranked among the "worst books of all time" on Good Reads.

As of writing, the Robert Langdon book sits at No. 10on the list—behind Stephenie Meyer's Twilight books,  E. L. James' Fifty Shades of Grey, Miley Cyrus' Miles to Go, Ann Coulter's Guilty: Liberal "Victims" and Their Assault on America, and Scientology: The Fundamentals of Thought by L. Ron Hubbard.

Brown's 2003 novel follows the story of Harvard professor Robert Langdon as he attempts to solve a murder at the Louvre. Along the way, he confirms a conspiracy theory about the Holy Grail and the involvement of the Priory of Sion and the Opus Dei in keeping this secret. Langdon does so with the help of cryptologist Sophie Neveu, as they decipher codes in Leonardo Da Vinci's art. In the end, Langdon and Neveu discover that Jesus Christ married Mary Magdalene and had a child—and that Neveu is their direct descendant.

Although The Da Vinci Codesold a whopping 80 million copies worldwide, readers have shared many complaints about its historical inaccuracies. Some Christians have also expressed their criticism of the claim that Jesus married and had a child, as well as of the book's perceived anti-Catholic stance. Meanwhile, others say they disliked Brown's writing style.

Still, The Da Vinci Code also inspired a box-office hit film of the same in 2006. The movie brought in more than $760 million worldwide on a $125 million budget, per Box Office Mojo. As of writing, the film has a Tomatometer rating of 35% and a Popcornmeter rating of 57% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Ron Howard directed The Da Vinci Code, while Tom Hanks starred as Langdon, Audrey Tautou played Neveu, Ian McKellan played Sir Leigh Teabing, Paul Bettany played Silas, and Jean Reno played Captain Bezu Fache.

What do you think of The Da Vinci Code book? Were you surprised to learn it was named among the "worst books of all time"?

For the first time in nearly eight years, Johnny Depp is back with his next major Hollywood film. 

Marking his first film since Depp lost his libel case in 2020, Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol stars Depp as Ebenezer Scrooge alongside Ian McKellen, Rupert Grint and others. In an interview with Variety, McKellen praised his co-star, Depp, saying he “fell in love with him" on set.

“It was a bit of a love fest, really,” McKellen said. “He’s very obliging to his fellow actors. [There was] a wonderful feeling on the set.”

#IanMcKellen says he “fell in love with” Johnny Depp after working together on the upcoming “Ebenezer: A Christmas Carol”:

“He’s in spankingly good form. Effervescent, funny, irreverent, serious — all at the same time. It was a bit of a love fest, really. I fell in love with… pic.twitter.com/QkRnuV1KbK

— Variety (@Variety) April 9, 2026

In 2020, Depp sued The Sun after it claimed he assaulted his ex-wife, Amber Heard, and called him a “wife beater.” However, Depp lost the case when Justice Andrew Nicol said that the newspaper’s description of him was “substantially true,” finding that 12 of the 14 alleged incidents of domestic violence had occurred.

In a 2022 case against Heard, a jury found both Heard and Depp liable for defamation against each other.

McKellen has also been part of controversies in the past. In 2019, during a live recording of the #QueerAF podcast, McKellen was asked to share his thoughts on the #MeToo movement, mentioning the sexual assault allegations against Kevin Spacey and Bryan Singer. He suggested that if Spacey and Singer had not been in the closet, they may not have abused others. However, he later apologized.

“When it comes to abuse by people in positions of power, the correct response is clear,” McKellen said in his apology letter. “The accusers must be heard and the accused given the opportunity to clear their names. If the accusations prove credible, the abuser’s access to power should be removed.”

Despite these views, McKellen has had nothing but good things to say about Depp.

“He’s in spankingly good form,” McKellen said about Depp. “Effervescent, funny, irreverent, serious — all at the same time.”

In addition to Depp’s upcoming performance as Scrooge, the Pirates of the Caribbean actor will also be in Day Drinker alongside Penélope Cruz. Here’s a first look from The Hollywood Reporter:

Aubrey Plaza is expecting her first child with partner Christopher Abbott. News of the Parks and Recreation star’s pregnancy doubled as confirmation that she and Abbott, best known for his role on the HBO series Girls, are in a relationship. 

The announcement marks a presumably brighter time for Plaza, whose husband, writer-director Jeff Baena, died by suicide in January 2025, at age 47. Breaking her silence on the tragedy in an August 2025 appearance on Amy Poehler’s Good Hang podcast, Plaza called her grief a "daily struggle."

“Right in this very very present moment, I feel happy to be with you,” she said. “Overall, I’m here and I’m functioning.”

Keep reading to learn more about Plaza’s new chapter with Abbott, as well as her recent pregnancy.

When did Aubrey Plaza start dating Christopher Abbott?

It’s unclear exactly when their relationship turned romantic, but Plaza, 41, and Abbott, 40, go back several years professionally. The two co-starred in the 2020 movie Black Bear and followed that collaboration with the 2023-2024 off‑Broadway revival of John Patrick Shanley’s Danny and the Deep Blue Sea at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.

When did Aubrey Plaza lose her husband? 

Plaza’s estranged husband died by suicide on Jan. 3, 2025. 

Baena was best known for directing films such as Life After Beth (2014), Joshy (2016), The Little Hours (2017), Horse Girl (2020) and Spin Me Round (2022). He also co-wrote 2004’s I Heart Huckabees, which was nominated for Best Feature at the Gotham Awards that year. Per TMZ, his body was discovered at his L.A.-area home on Friday, Jan. 3, and he was pronounced dead at the scene. 

“This is an unimaginable tragedy,” Plaza’s rep said in a statement on behalf of the actress and her family. “We are deeply grateful to everyone who has offered support. Please respect our privacy during this time.”

When did Aubrey Plaza separate from her husband?

As revealed in the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner’s report, the couple separated in September 2024. A month later, the report stated, Baena made “concerning remarks” to Plaza that "prompted her to call a friend to perform a welfare check on her husband.”

The couple, who kept their relationship relatively private, was together from 2011 and married sometime in 2021.

 “I think that one of the great things about our careers is that we are forced to be independent, take little breaks, go off and do our things and come back,” Plaza told People in 2019. “So it’s kind of fun. Nothing is ever the same. You don’t want to spend too much time apart. But I think that there’s a way that it can work and there’s a balance in that.”

How did Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott meet? 

The two met while filming the psychological drama Black Bear. The movie, which was shot in late summer 2019 and premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in 2020, follows a filmmaker (Plaza) who retreats to a remote lake house with a couple played by Abbott and Sarah Gadon. As the trio spends time together, their interactions turn dark and tense, blurring the lines between reality and the filmmaker’s artistic vision.

What movie were Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott in together? 

The couple starred in the 2020 movie Black Bear, which was filmed in a secluded location in the Adirondack Mountains in Long Lake, New York.

“We were shooting nights for three weeks straight, so we were all losing our f-cking minds,” Plaza told IndieWire. “We were shooting on a location that was essentially off the grid. We had no cell service, very bad internet. We had power outages almost every hour on the hour … It was just totally insane and a really, really hard shoot physically and emotionally, but we survived.”

What have Aubrey Plaza and Christopher Abbott starred in together? 

In addition to starring in the movie Black Bear, the couple collaborated on the 2023-2024 off‑Broadway revival of John Patrick Shanley’s Danny and the Deep Blue Sea, playing strangers who become lovers after meeting at a dive bar in the Bronx.

The intense two‑character play, which marked Plaza’s professional stage debut, ran from Oct. 30, 2023, through early January 2024. 

Praising her co-star in an interview with the New York Times, Plaza said, “He cares but he also doesn’t care; it’s the best recipe for me for a scene partner. … I like to just throw things out the window also and laugh and mess around and not take it so seriously. It’s a hard combo to come by.”

Abbott agreed. “We’re both unafraid to be ugly and weird and strange,” he told the outlet.

Who is the father of Aubrey Plaza’s child?

The father of Plaza’s unborn child is Christopher Abbott, whose breakout role was as Marnie’s sensitive, troubled boyfriend Charlie on Girls. He’s also starred in Martha Marcy May Marlene, It Comes At Night and more. 

When is Aubrey Plaza due to have her baby? 

The White Lotusactress is expected to deliver in the fall of 2026.

As The Rolling Stones sang back in 1969, you can’t always get what you want. Luckily for fans of Guinness beer and sweet treats, sometimes you can, as evidenced by the return of a “dream collab” between the popular brewery and a cult-favorite ice cream brand. 

Last July, Guinness teamed up with Van Leeuwen to launch a limited-time collaborative ice cream that brought together the dessert brand’s signature, ultra-creamy ice cream with the classic taste of Guinness stout, all tied together with rich chunks of decadent chocolate.

The packaging even included nods to Guinness’ branding, with the iconic lyre and a fitting name: Lovely Day for a Guinness. Fans were thrilled when it was announced, taking to Instagram to call it a “dream collab,” saying that they needed to try it, and declaring, “My Guinness love runs deep… but add ice cream and suddenly I’m WHIPPED.”

“We’re always looking for ways to bring the bold flavor of Guinness to life in new formats, offering a modern twist to a timeless classic,” said Karissa Downer, Director, Guinness at the time, calling it “one more way to come together over a Guinness and enjoy your lovely days this summer.”

Now, just in time for the warmer months, the flavor is back, with Van Leeuwen sharing a post on Instagram that read, “You loved it last year so we brought it back,” before noting that really, it was all thanks to Whole Foods Market, where the product is now available exclusively. 

“Our day just got even lovelier,” the official Guinness Instagram page commented, with more praise rolling in from ecstatic fans. “Good decision,” said one complimentary comment, with others saying, “Oh I need that,” and “Yaaaay! I can’t wait to pick it up!” 

More said they were planning on purchasing it right away, commenting, “brb running to Whole Foods,” and joking, “If I don’t find this at Whole Foods in Minnesota I’m gonna crash out.”

Jean Smart and her boyfriend, Joe Pacheco, are the sweetest couple on the red carpet.

The Hacks star, 74, first rose to fame on the popular series Designing Women, and continued her reign as a comedy queen on Frasier. She nailed more dramatic roles on 24 and Fargo, and became a romcom favorite thanks to Sweet Home Alabama. But it's her turn as stand-up comedian Deborah Vance on Hacks that solidified her as Hollywood gold, and with season five right around the bend, it's great to see her thriving on the red carpet.

Smart, who lost her husband in 2021, looked so happy while holding hands with Pacheco at Hacks season 5 premiere in Los Angeles, California. With their arms interwoven, the duo is certainly lucky in love.

When Did Jean Smart's Husband Die?

As Smart approached the end of filming season 1 in March 2021, her husband, Richard Gilliland, died at the age of 71. He had a heart condition and suffered a "brief illness” before his death, PEOPLE reported.

Smart was “still kind of in shock” but decided to continue filming the season. However, there was one scene she couldn't bring herself to do.

“I said, ‘Let’s just do it.’ The only day that got me was when we shot Ava’s father’s funeral,” she recalled. “I suddenly thought, ‘I can’t do a funeral scene — I can’t.’ I’m not prone to anxiety at all, but that was not a pleasant day.”

Smart Leaned on Hannah Einbinder To Get Through

To navigate her grief, Smart leaned on her co-star, Hannah Einbinder.

“I really turned to [Einbinder] for comfort and support, and she was amazing,” Smart said. “I mean, she’s very wise.”

“God, I remember everything,” Einbinder told PEOPLE. “Every moment of it. I remember getting calls from the hospital on set, and it just was so painful. And I remember the way that everybody around sprang into action to care for her.”

After going through so much together, it's great to see Smart and Einbinder back together. Check out the trailer for season 5!

The good thing about finding love on a Netflix reality show is that you find your person. The bad thing is you can't publicly post about it to avoid spoilers.

Age of Attraction brought singles ages 22 to 60 together to see if age matters for a strong relationship. Season 1 ended with Logan Goodrid proposing to VanessaDrozda in the finale. He shared photos of their nine months together after filming.

On April 8, Logan, 30 posted a series of pictures with Vanessa, 50, on Instagram. "If you’d told me a year ago that I’d be going to a 'dating retreat' and meeting the love of my life, I would’ve laughed," read part of the caption. "But life has a funny way of surprising you."

"From flying back and forth between Ohio and Texas to staying up late on the phone until 2 a.m., and everything in between, this woman has been my rock, and I can’t thank her enough for who she is and who she continues to be," the continued.

The couple gave a glimpse into what being secretly engaged has been like at the reunion. "I'm not going to lie and sit here and pretend like it's all been roses and butterflies because it hasn't," Logan said. "I mean we're in a very distance relationship. It's been tough."

Logan's dad lost his leg. Vanessa's best friend and aunt died. Logan had surgery, and one of the pictures he posted was when he had to use a crutch. Vanessa said that after they had one of their tense disagreements, they always came back together.

She also celebrated her 50th birthday with a pink-themed party. One of the pictures showed Logan wearing a matching hot pink suit next to her. Vanessa commented on the post, "Core memories that will last forever."

Country star Alan Jackson shared some exciting news.

The "Chattahoochee" singer revealed on Instagram on Thursday afternoon that his second granddaughter, Parker Anne Bradshaw, was born on Wednesday. Parker is the second child of Jackson's middle child, Ali, who got married to Sam Bradshaw in 2020, and had their first son, Jackson, in December 2022. Jackson shared a photo of himself and his wife, Denise, holding the newborn.

"Denise and I are thrilled to announce the birth of our second granddaughter, Parker Anne Bradshaw. Parker joined our family on April 8th. Proud parents are Ali and Sam Bradshaw," Jackson wrote as his caption. "Parker joins our other grandchildren Jack Bradshaw, Wesley & Charlie Smith."

Besides sharing throwbacks and music announcements, Jackson also loves sharing updates about his family. On March 23, the 67-year-old singer posted something similar when his first granddaughter, Charlotte Ann (Charlie) Smith, was born. Charlie is Mattie's second child with her second husband, Connor Smith. Mattie is Jackson's eldest daughter and is a well-known author.

The exciting news comes two months before Jackson is set to perform his final concert at Nissan Stadium in Nashville on June 27. This sold-out show marks the end of his touring career, featuring an all-star lineup to celebrate his three decades in country music.

View this post on Instagram

Widely regarded as neotraditional country and one of the best-selling musical artists of all time, Jackson has recorded 21 studio albums, including two Christmas albums, two gospel albums and three greatest-hits albums. He released his debut single, "Blue Blooded Woman," under Arita Records in 1989, and the rest was history. In addition, he is the recipient of two Grammy Awards, 16 CMA Awards and 17 ACM Awards.

For over a decade, Jackson has battled Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease, a group of genetic conditions that affect the nerves connecting the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. The disease has affected his ability to move and stay balanced on stage.
