Yes, we're being greedy — the third season of XO, Kitty only just premiered on Netflix on Thursday, April 2, and we already have our sights on even more adventures abroad with Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart) and co. in a fourth season.

In case you haven't tuned in yet, XO, Kitty is the spinoff series of Netflix's beloved To All The Boy I've Loved Before film franchise; we initially met the titular Covey daughter when she was simply the meddling little sis of those movies' main character, Lara Jean Covey (Lana Condor). In this sequel series, however, a now-teenaged Kitty is our romantic lead, as we follow her journey studying abroad at K.I.S.S. (Korean Independent School of Seoul) and doing some kissing of her own with frenemy-turned-crush Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee).

And given everything that went down between Kitty and Min Ho in season three (no spoilers here, don't worry!), we'd be shocked if Netflix doesn't move forward with a fourth edition of the fan-favorite series. Here's everything we know so far about XO, Kitty season 4.

Will there be an XO, Kitty season 4?

Netflix hasn't yet announced whether or not XO, Kitty will continue for a fourth season. However, if the coming-of-age charmer does get greenlit for a season 4, the news should be coming in a few weeks' time, using previous seasons as precedent: After season one premiered in May 2023, the series was renewed for a second season in June. Similarly, after XO, Kitty season 2 debuted in January 2025, the streamer snatched it up with a season-three renewal in February. Given that the third season only just hit the platform on April 2, 2026, fans should keep a lookout for any renewal announcements to drop in May 2026.

"I know that all of our fans would love to see that," showrunner Valentina Garza told Deadline about a Season 4 pick-up. "We’re just gonna have to wait and see what happens. We’re very excited to continue to see our characters learn and grow.

When is the XO, Kitty Season 4 release date?

Again, Netflix has not yet formally greenlit a fourth season of XO, Kitty; however, if the streamer continues with the series, fans can likely expect to see new episodes as early as spring 2027. For reference, season three began production in May 2025 in Seoul, South Korea, and wrapped filming in July of last year, a mere nine months before the eps premiered on Netflix. Here's hoping they're able to replicate that same speediness this time around!

Who is in the XO, Kitty Season 4 cast?

Well, there's no XO, Kitty without Anna Cathcart as our leading lady Katherine "Kitty" Song Covey. We would also be shocked if we didn't see the returns of fellow series regulars Yuri Han (Gia Kim), Min Ho Moon (Sang Heon Lee), Dae Kim (Choi Min-yeong), Q Shabazian (Anthony Keyvan), Juliana Porter (Regan Aliyah) and Marius (Sule Thelwell), as well as recurring actors like Joshua Lee (as Jin), Sasha Bhasin (as Praveena), Jocelyn Shelfo (as Madison), Han Bi Ryu (as Eunice), and Sunny Oh (as Mihee).

It's also up in the air which members of the larger To All the Boys universe, if any, would be making their return for a fourth installment. Season three saw the long-awaited appearance of Lana Candor as Kitty's beloved older sis Lara Jean, and fellow film alums like Noah Centineo and Janel Parrish have popped up in previous seasons.

What will XO, Kitty Season 4 be about?

Well, we know one thing: It better touch on Kitty and Min Ho's relationship! As mentioned, a fourth season would likely take Kitty through her final semester at KISS and into graduation, which means the future — including enrollment at New York University for college in the fall — is very much looming ahead for our Covey girl. How will her planned return to America affect their connection?

At least showrunner Valentina Garza is aware that fans want to see more from the will-they-won't-they couple. “Well, I know that the audience wants to see that, and I’m so grateful that our audience is really invested in these characters that are so incredibly rich,” she told Swooon. “And I think we’re just going to have to wait and see what happens with them.”

Is there a trailer for XO, Kitty season 4?

Not yet, but Parade will update you the second any new trailers and teaser clips drop!

Anna Duggar‘s email to brother-in-law Joseph Duggar in jail has surfaced.

On Mar. 18, Joseph was arrested and charged for Lewd and Lascivious Behavior, involving unlawful sexual activity with a minor. Us Weekly obtained the message Anna to Joseph through jail records on Thursday, Apr. 2.

“You’ve got our prayers. We love you—however we can help, please let us know,” Anna wrote in an email dated Mar. 21. “I think I put some money on your books. I don’t remember how phone calls and video calls work.”

In 2021, Anna's husband and Joseph's older brother Josh Duggar was convicted of possessing child sexual abuse material and sentenced to over 12 years in prison.

“Please let me know if I can help get things set up so you can call and talk with Kendra," Anna continued. "Just remember, don’t talk about anything legal unless you are with an attorney. Everything said in these messages, phone calls and video chats are recorded and turned over to prosecutors.”

"Are they keeping you in solitary, or will they let you go into a pod? Joshua's experience there at Washington County was fairly safe," Anna added. "If there are any concerns for your health, or safety, please let me know. On a practical side, I think commissary has a two week delay. If you find out timing, that would be helpful... If you will be there a while, we definitely want to send some goodies your way!"

Anna then shared she spoke with Joseph's wife Kendra. Two days after Joseph’s arrest, he and Kendra were hit with additional child endangerment charges—unrelated to Joseph’s initial case.

According to jail calls between Kendra and Joseph obtained by People, Kendra has lost custody of her children amid the ongoing child endangerment investigation."

"I talked with Kendra for about 30 minutes today. I was amazed with how clearly she thought, how focused and articulate she was in the middle of such heavy situations," Anna said. "She loves you deeply. She was strong on the phone call, except for when she talked about it being a month before she can see the kids. My heart breaks for all of you. I know she will win in the end... it just might take time."

She concluded, "Kendra is an amazing woman - the Grace of God is flowing from her life. She is a gem! <3 Know that God is our rock, He is our fortress, He is our shelter, He is our defender, He is our strength. He will get us through whatever storms we face. Praying for ya, love ya. Anna."

Joseph responded to Anna’s message several hours later, thanking her for the prayers and money for his commissary. He also asked Anna to help Kendra set up her email to communicate with him in jail.

“Praying for you. Please let me know how I can help,” Anna replied in an email dated Mar. 22, also advising Joseph to request a visit from the jail chaplain to supply more books.

Anna’s final email read, “[Kendra] loves you so much.”

Joseph entered a written plea of not guilty on Sunday, Mar. 29 and requested a jury trial. He was released from jail after posting a $600,000 bond on Tuesday, Mar. 31.

General Hospitalfans are in for a real treat in the next few weeks. The hit ABC soap is doing a one-of-a-kind crossover event with the Broadway show Aladdin.

A few episodes kicking off on Friday, April 24, and leading into May sweeps will feature Gio (Giovanni Mazza) and Emma (Braedyn Bruner) taking on New York City. Gio’s from Brooklyn and wants to show his lady love around the Big Apple.

 🎬SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬

According toEntertainment Weekly, during their time in New York City, the happy couple will run into Gio’s old friend Broadway star Michael James Scott, who has played the Genie in Aladdin since 2019. It turns out that during his violin-playing days, Gio was in an orchestra for a show Scott performed in, and they became friends.

Scott will play himself and help his old friend Gio take his girlfriend on a New York City adventure to remember. That’s not all, either.

Gio and Emma return the favor by taking Scott to Port Charles for his own adventure, which will air on Monday, May 4, one day after Scott wraps his epic run in Aladdin.

Scott’s musical talents will also be featured on the ABC soap. During his Port Charles visit, Scott will perform a rendition of the hit Aladdin song "Friend Like Me" by Robin Williams at Curtis’ (Donnell Turner) club, The Savoy.

This is the first-ever crossover of its kind, made possible by Disney synergy. Disney owns General Hospital and is behind the 1992 Aladdin movie and Broadway show, which debuted in 2014.

Aladdin celebrated its 12th anniversary on Broadway on March 20. The New Amsterdam Theatre has been home to Aladdin since its debut and is where Gio and Emma run into Scott.

No word yet if General Hospital fans will see Gio play the violin again during this crossover event. The character lost his love of music after learning that Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) and Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) were his parents, not his mother, Camilla, who nurtured his love of music.

General Hospital airs weekdays on ABC.

There’s no food more synonymous with Easter than ham, and no ham more iconic than HoneyBaked. For over 65 years, it’s been the centerpiece of holiday tables, showing up glazed, spiral-sliced and ready to impress with minimal effort.

I knew I needed a team to help me with this taste test, so I carted my HoneyBaked Ham on a weekend away with friends. The ham became the star of our lunch spread. We were in full “spring break meets Easter” mode, away from home, cooking in a rental kitchen and it was exactly the kind of scenario this ham is made for.

I was able to chat with Chef Tim Ziga, culinary expert at The HoneyBaked Ham Company, and he shared some great tips and tricks with me. His advice really influenced me to take the ham on the road, since it really lends itself to "the flexibility to celebrate anywhere" and for holiday time "without sacrificing tradition."

That idea of flexibility really stood out to me. Whether you’re hosting at home, traveling to see family or pulling together a holiday meal in a beach house or cabin, the appeal of something fully cooked and ready to serve is obvious.

To get a better understanding of what makes this ham so popular, and whether it’s actually worth the price, I learned more about the brand’s legacy, ordering tips and how to serve it. Then I put it to the test: eating it fresh, reheated and straight from the fridge the next day.

After tossing it in my cooler bag and serving it to dear friends, here's what I learned.

What Is HoneyBaked Ham Known For?

HoneyBaked Ham has built its reputation on consistency and tradition. As Chef Ziga explains, “We’re best known for our signature hams that are slow-smoked for up to 24 hours and finished with our iconic sweet, crunchy glaze”.

That glaze is really the signature. It’s a crackly, caramelized coating that gives way to a smoky, tender interior, something that instantly feels special.

I only had hams on my radar, but, beyond that, they offer full holiday spreads, including turkey, prime rib and a lineup of heat-and-serve sides. It’s very much designed to be a one-stop shop for hosting, all while keeping the ease for the host in mind.

How Much Does a HoneyBaked Ham Cost in 2026?

Jeanette Donnarumma

My ham came in at $95.94, or $11.49 per pound, which definitely puts HoneyBaked in the premium category. Compared to other popular retailers, it's about double or triple the price (Costco's standard spiral hams are around $4.99/pound and a traditional grocery store ham will run you between $3.99-$6.99/pound).

So yes, HoneyBaked is significantly more expensive. But it’s also fully cooked, pre-sliced, glazed and essentially zero-effort, which is part of what you’re paying for, along with a bit of a premium for the brand name and the consistency that comes with it.

How To Buy a HoneyBaked Ham

Jeanette Donnarumma

Ordering is fairly straightforward. You can order online for delivery or pick-up, or if you have a brick-and-mortar near you, you can shop directly in the store.

“My pro tip is to reserve online ahead of time, especially around holidays,” Ziga tells Parade. He recommends planning for about ½ pound per person, which also means planning ahead if you want leftovers (and trust me, you do).

Another thing I appreciated, especially after my experience in taking my ham on the road, is how well this works for travel. The brand even shares guidance around flying or road-tripping with your ham, noting it’s fully cooked and easy to transport with proper cooling methods.

How Many Days in Advance Can I Buy a HoneyBaked Ham? (And How Long Will It Last?)

If you’re hosting, this is where HoneyBaked really shines. To avoid the holiday rush, HoneyBaked Hams stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to a week. Leftovers can last seven to 10 days when stored properly. That kind of shelf life makes it ideal not just for the main event, but for stretching into easy meals all week long.

How To Cook a HoneyBaked Ham

Jeanette Donnarumma

Here’s one of the most interesting parts of the brand: you don’t actually have to cook it.

“It’s fully cooked and ready to enjoy,” Chef Ziga explains. “I recommend serving it at room temperature… just remove it from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before serving.”

If you prefer it warm, you can heat it gently at 275°F for about 10 minutes per pound, covered in foil to keep it moist and preserve that signature glaze.

My Honest Review of HoneyBaked Ham

From initial thoughts upon receiving the ham to my takeaways after reheating and trying leftovers, here's my honest review.

First Impressions

Jeanette Donnarumma

I’ll be honest, it felt a little strange at first to unwrap a ham and just… start eating it. No roasting, no real prep. But visually, it’s impressive. The spiral slicing, the crispy glaze, it immediately looks like a holiday centerpiece. This is an incredibly easy, low-stress way to host a holiday meal, especially if cooking a large roast isn’t your thing.

Eating It Fresh

Jeanette Donnarumma

Fresh out of the packaging, the flavor is undeniable. The ham itself is smoky, tender and well-seasoned. The brown sugar glaze is sweet and slightly crunchy, though in my opinion, it’s better suited for warming so it can melt into the meat.

Reheating It

Jeanette Donnarumma

This is where it really shines.

Once warmed, the glaze melts beautifully into the ham, creating this rich, glossy coating that takes everything up a notch. It honestly became one of the best hams I’ve ever served.

I followed the instructions to gently separate the slices with a knife and cut around the bone, which made it incredibly easy for everyone to grab perfect portions.

Eating Leftovers the Next Day

Jeanette Donnarumma

The next day, we were back in the kitchen grabbing slices straight from the container and it was still delicious. Cold, it’s slightly firmer but still flavorful and satisfying.

It held up incredibly well, which is exactly what you want from a holiday centerpiece that’s meant to stretch into leftovers. It would make the perfect ham sandwich on some fresh rolls, protein for breakfast as ham and eggs, or chopped up finely and used in a ham salad.

Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It?

Given I was a bit taken aback by the price point of this ham, I do believe it's worth it. It's not your everyday ham, and that's OK, because it's worth it for a special occasion. Between the quality, flavor, ease and reputation, it delivers on exactly what you want from a holiday centerpiece.

This isn’t just a ham, it’s a fully thought-out hosting solution. There’s no stress, no guesswork, no worrying about cook times or carving. You unwrap it, serve it and it immediately feels like an event.

What really stood out to me is how well it performs across the board. Fresh, it’s flavorful and impressive. Warmed, it becomes something even better when the glaze melts into the meat, the slices separate beautifully and it genuinely feels like something you spent hours making. And the next day? Still just as enjoyable, whether you’re reheating it again or grabbing it cold straight from the fridge.

You are for sure paying more than you would for a grocery store ham, but you’re also paying for consistency, convenience and a product that delivers every single time. And when you factor in how far it stretches, especially with leftovers, it starts to feel like a smarter investment for a holiday meal.

There’s a reason HoneyBaked Ham has remained the gold standard for decades. It takes one of the most traditional holiday foods and makes it effortless without sacrificing quality.

If you want something that feels special but removes the pressure, especially during a busy, travel-heavy holiday weekend, this is one of the easiest ways to pull off a meal that everyone will remember.

Jim Bob Duggar's email to son Joseph Duggar in jail has surfaced.

On Mar. 18, Joseph was arrested and charged for Lewd and Lascivious Behavior, involving unlawful sexual activity with a minor. Us Weekly obtained the message from Jim Bob to Joseph through jail records on Thursday, Apr. 2.

“Joseph, I’m so sorry for what you are going through. Mom & I love you very much!” Jim Bob wrote in an email dated Mar. 25. “Looks like you have a long road ahead of you, but God will get you through. You have made some terrible decisions, but God has already forgiven you if you have asked him."

The Duggar patriarch also informed his son of how his wife Kendra was doing. Two days after Joseph's arrest, he and Kendra were hit with additional child endangerment charges—unrelated to Joseph’s initial case.

According to jail calls between Kendra and Joseph obtained by People, Kendra has lost custody of her children amid the ongoing child endangerment investigation.

"Kendra is doing well overall. She is trusting in the Lord," Jim Bob said. "She loves you very much! Your kids are going to be okay. Our whole family has pulled together to help. Several of the sisters and sister-in-law's have taken Kendra out and spent a lot of time with her. It is ridiculous that they charged Kendra and arrested her, we've hired [redacted] to help Kendra. We were praying that we can get her charges dropped. You would be so proud of your Brothers and grateful to them for how they've all stepped up and are helping with all the details of your business and helping Kendra."

RELATED: Joseph Duggar Spotted for First Time Since Release from Jail

Jim Bob ended his message by warning his son that he will face "major consequences" for his alleged crimes.

“You are just going to have to accept the situation at this point and it’s also fine to pray that God would have mercy on you, but you’re probably gonna face a [sic] major consequences for several years to come,” Jim Bob wrote. “I pray that God will bring other Christians into your life to encourage you and that you can also point people to Christ even through the time you’re in jail and prison. God will be with you! He will get you and your family through!”

"David in the Bible royally messed up, but he repented and became a man after God's own heart. You also like Joseph who was in prison, can make lemonade out of lemons," he concluded. "I love you and we'll keep praying for you, don't give up. God is not finished with your life. Love you, Dad. 'Trust in the Lord, lean not to your own understanding.'"

Joseph entered a written plea of not guilty on Sunday, Mar. 29 and requested a jury trial. He was released from jail after posting a $600,000 bond on Tuesday, Mar. 31.

Jim Bob was spotted with Joseph at an airport the same day of his release. Joseph's next court date was set by a judge in Florida for April 20 at 9 a.m. local time.

Jessa Duggar Seewald is speaking out for the second time after her brother Joseph Duggar was arrested.

On Mar. 18, Joseph was arrested and charged for Lewd and Lascivious Behavior, involving unlawful sexual activity with a minor. Two days later, Joseph and his wife Kendra were hit with additional child endangerment charges—unrelated to Joseph’s initial case.

Joseph entered a written plea of not guilty on Sunday, Mar. 29 and requested a jury trial. He was released from jail after posting a $600,000 bond on Tuesday, Mar. 31.

On Thursday, Apr. 2, Seewald posted a new statement on the allegations to her Instagram Story.

"We learned, along with the rest of the world, of the heartbreaking news involving my brother, Joseph, and we are deeply grieved," Seewald wrote. "Our hearts ache for this innocent young girl and the harm she has suffered. This is a profound wrong, and we know it grieves the heart of God, who cares deeply for children and the vulnerable. We are lifting her up in prayer, asking for comfort, healing, and justice."

RELATED: Joseph Duggar Spotted for First Time Since Release from Jail

The message is very similar to Seewald's original statement, which was posted on Mar. 20 before the child endangerment charges were filed.

“We learned of this saddening news along with the rest of the world on Wednesday, and we are in complete shock,” she wrote on her Instagram Story but later deleted. “Our hearts are grieving for this innocent young girl, and we know this is deeply grievous to God, who cares tenderly for children and the vulnerable. We are keeping her in our prayers.”

"As a family, we are pulling together to support Kendra and her kids during this difficult time," she added.

Most notably, Seewald's revised statement removed the line expressing support for Kendra and her four children. According to jail calls between Kendra and Joseph obtained by People, Kendra has lost custody of her children amid the ongoing child endangerment investigation.

"I think Friday has probably been my hardest day, but that's crazy to say because Wednesday was crazy hard," Kendra said to Joseph during a collect phone call from the Washington County Detention Facility on Mar. 24.

Friday was the day of Kendra's arrest while Wednesday was the day of Joseph's arrest.

"But it's just like, when you then take my babies from me, they were who I was just going to pour my life into," she continued.

In another call, Kendra told her husband that her number one priority is their children.

"I'm fighting for the kids and they're my number one priority right now," Kendra said, with Joseph replying that he is "100% behind" his wife and that she "should be fighting for them the most."

I have some good news and some bad news. The bad news is that this spring and summer allergy season is set to be long and painful. Warmer temperatures across the nation mean plants are starting to grow earlier, increasing the time pollen can circulate in the air, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Folks from Boise, Idaho, to Lakeland, Florida, are going to face super high pollen counts, which means allergies are about to wreak havoc. The good news is that there are solutions you can turn to for relief, such as common antihistamines like Zyrtec and Claritin.

An unfortunate reality, though, is that traditional over-the-counter medicines can actually stop working.

"With daily antihistamines, some patients develop tolerance over time and find they just stop working as well," Dr. Manan Shah, MD, a practicing ENT and allergist at Wyndly Health, tells Parade. "There's also research that shows that while antihistamines help with allergy symptoms, they can lead to weight gain, brain fog, fatigue, and even dementia."

"The issue is that antihistamines only manage symptoms," he continues. "They never address why your body is overreacting in the first place."

Unfortunately, my husband was one of those folks. In 2023, he found himself taking antihistamines daily with very little result. His eyes were constantly pooling, and I genuinely thought I was going to go mad with the constant sniffling. After getting fed up with it himself, he began researching and found a combination that promised to get the job done: turmeric, quercetin, and bromelain. With nothing to lose, he bought a bottle at our local Walgreens and began taking it daily.

It's been three years, and he hasn't touched an antihistamine since.

Related: Doctors Are Seeing a Bizarre New COVID Symptom Right Now

What Really Works for Allergies?

You don't have to take my word for it. Shah explains that the combination naturally mimics what antihistamines do synthetically.

"Quercetin is a natural mast cell stabilizer—it helps prevent your cells from releasing histamine in the first place, which is actually working upstream of where most antihistamines kick in," he explains. "Turmeric's active compound, curcumin, is a potent anti-inflammatory, and since allergies are fundamentally an inflammatory response, that combination can be really effective for certain people."

And to be fair, it really isn't a cure-all for everyone.

"The reason it works dramatically for some and not others comes down to severity, individual biochemistry, and absorption—curcumin is notoriously hard for the body to absorb without black pepper or a fat source," he adds. "For someone with mild allergies and a lot of underlying inflammation, this combo might be a game-changer."

What Can You Do to Get Ahead of the 2026 Allergy Season?

The truth is, learning what works for your body is key, and the timing of when you do it is everything.

"Whatever works for you—whether that's a quercetin supplement, a nasal steroid, or antihistamines—start it now, before peak season," advises Shah. "These all work best when they're already in your system before pollen counts spike. The biggest mistake I see is people waiting until they're miserable."

Shah also recommends layering treatments as well; adding things like nasal saline rinses and putting HEPA filters in the bedroom can help attack the issue from all angles. The truest solution, though, is slightly more involved.

"To fix the root cause, you need to use allergy immunotherapy. This treatment trains your body to stop having allergy symptoms when exposed to allergy triggers," he claims. "If you're someone who dreads allergy season every year, it's worth looking into immunotherapy. It's the only treatment that actually retrains your immune system to stop overreacting. Supplements and medications can cover up symptoms, but only immunotherapy can be a long-term fix."

On this day in 1956, CBS changed the landscape of daytime by premiering not one but two 30-minute soap operas.

As the World Turns and The Edge of Night debuted on April 2, 1956, taking soaps from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. They were each produced by Procter & Gamble Productions, allowing the company to insert its own products into the show for promotion.

These are the shows that created the soap landscape and the "stories" your grandma and mom still talk about today. Television networks then were a place for daytime series focused on legacy families, crazy twists and turns, and drama that kept fans tuning in five days a week.

The Edge of Night and As the World Turns were broadcast live for 30 minutes from 1956 to 1975, when both shows began taping. In December 1975, As the World Turns made history again by becoming the first-ever daytime drama to be an hour long, taking over The Edge of Night’s time slot when the show moved to ABC.

As the World Turns took place in Oakdale, Illinois, and focused on the Hughes family. Over the years, the Stewart, Lowell, Walsh, and Snyder families were added, but the Hughes clan remained the core of the soap.

In fact, the first and last words spoken on the show were by a Hughes. “Good morning, dear," were the first words on As the World Turns, with Nancy Hughes (Helen Wagner) saying it to her husband Chris Hughes (Don MacLaughlin).

The final words in the series took place on September 17, 2010. Bob (Don Hastings), son of Chris and Nancy, uttered the word “Goodnight” before As the World Turns went dark.

Unfortunately, The Edge of Night didn’t have as long a run as As the World Turns. The show ran for over 20 years on CBS, then moved to ABC for 9 years, ending in 1984.

70 years ago today, Monday April 2, 1956, at 4:30pm ET, Procter and Gamble's THE EDGE OF NIGHT premiered on CBS. Critically acclaimed for its brilliantly crafted whodunits, created by accomplished mystery writer Irving Vendig and later penned by Henry Slesar. #EDGE 🏙️ pic.twitter.com/NkSoItWKps

In the beginning of its run, The Edge of Night was considered the Perry Mason of daytime, taking place a city in the Midwest called Monticello. The soap focused on attorney Mike Karr (Forrest Compton), his second wife, journalist Nancy Pollock Karr (Ann Flood), and their daughter, Lorrie (Linda Cook).

It was moved from CBS because the network expanded As the World Turns to an hour. CBS no longer had room for The Edge of Night due to local news coverage, so ABC picked it up.

Both soaps were trailblazers for the industry, proving that daytime dramas could make networks money. They paved the way for the days when soaps were all the rage on NBC, CBS, and ABC.

When it comes to the expression "Don't Kiss and Tell," don't count Sharon Stone as a fan. During a recent sit-down with Andy Cohen on his SiriusXM show, Andy Cohen Live, Stone and Cohen played a game of association, in which the Bravo producer would throw out a name, and the Basic Instinct star would say the first thought that came to her mind. While she had a quick answer for most of the actors named, she paused on Robert De Niro.

"Oh my God," she exclaimed. "He's the best kisser in the business." "Is he?" Cohen responded, sounding surprised. "He's the best kisser in the business?"

"He kissed me right out of my shoes," Stone confessed. "Really."

De Niro and Stone starred together in the 1995 film Casino, directed by Martin Scorsese. Stone played Ginger, a showgirl whom De Niro's character, Sam, marries. While their relationship is destructive and volatile, it's passionate until it ends with their mutual downfall.

Stone recalled that she and De Niro were filming a scene in which Ginger asked Sam for money. When he gave her $50, she persuaded him to give her more.

"Then I lean over, and I kiss him, and he really just knocked me out," she continued. "And Marty [Scorsese] cut, and he looks at us, and he goes, 'I think we got it, but would you guys like another one?' And we both looked at him and went, 'Yeah, I think maybe we need one more.'"

Stone won a Golden Globe for Best Actress for her performance and was also nominated for Best Actress at the Oscars. While the two never appeared in any other films together, working with the A-lister was a "dream come true" for the actress.

"I always wanted to work with Bob," she previously told Business Insider. "I had auditioned with him many times before Casino." However, she found herself feeling real anger during an especially tense scene that the two shared in the film.

"We're sitting across a table arguing and he says to me, 'You're a good actress, you know that?'" The Euphoria star said. "And I remember in that scene when he said it, how furious it made me because it was my dream to do it, and then he challenged me at the table. I remember thinking, 'Oh, buddy. Not today, pal.'"

Dolly Parton reads around 50 books per year, and the country music legend is opening up about some of her favorite reads.

Parton, 80, may be known as a musical master thanks to her iconic songs like "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You," but she's also a voracious reader. Several years ago, the "Queen of Country" made an appearance on Jenna Bush Hager's podcast, Open Book With Jenna, and opened up about some of her favorite books. However, Parton's pick for the book she'd like to have with her if she found herself trapped on a desert island isn't your typical beach read.

"If you were deserted on a desert island, which book would you take with you?" Bush Hager asks Parton.

“I better take the Bible, 'cause if I’m stranded on an island, I figure I may not get off of there, and I might wanna do some crammin’,” Parton says in the response, laughing and smiling.

Check out the video below to hear about some of Parton's favorites, and the celebrity book club she follows diligently.

While her pick may be unexpected, the Christian bible is actually the best-selling book of all time, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. It's safe to say that Parton isn't alone in her idea!

Dolly Parton's Imagination Library Just Expanded to Indiana

This week, Indiana first lady Maureen Braun announced that Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Indiana will now be providing Indiana children under the age of 5 with free books each month, WTHR reported.

“Receiving books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library fosters a love of reading and creates meaningful family memories to last a lifetime. Early childhood literacy has a profound impact on Hoosier kids as they grow, and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Indiana is helping to build strong foundations for young Hoosiers," Braun said.

On Wednesday, April 1, Braun shared in a video that the program, which mails age-appropriate books to children each month from birth to age 5 for free, is available in all of the state's 92 counties.

Here's my hot take on Five Below that absolutely no one asked for, but I'm sharing anyway: It manages to find the most basic, everyday items and give them a super-cute, "I need that now" spin. Do I need pickleball paddles when I don't play pickleball? No, but when Five Below makes them in a cottagecore print, now I'm invested in the sport. I don't make the rules; that's just how it is.

Now the retailer has done it again with what might be the most mundane item in any household—the garbage can. Any waste bin has just one job, right? That's to collect our trash until there's enough to haul it outside for the truck. It's not a houseware that needs to be pretty or frilly; its only real requirement is not to have holes in it so trash doesn't fall out. But Five Below thinks differently. In the humble garbage bin, I saw a blank canvas for something whimsical.

Printed Trash Can, $5 at Five Below

Five Below

How gorgeous is this printed trash can at Five Below? And, believe me, I can't believe I'm oohing and aahing over a waste bin. The pretty floral print is just so whimsical, I want one for every room in my house. Five Below is also selling the same bin in strawberry and teddy bear prints, if either is more your speed.

Now, I think it goes without saying that this isn't a kitchen trash receptacle—it isn't big enough to handle that job. But bathrooms, bedrooms or maybe a home office? Absolutely. It just adds a little bit of beauty where there might otherwise just be a cold, plain bin. And the fact that it's just $5 kind of adds to its allure.

Five Below has been positively killing it lately with super cute finds. There's a retro-inspired vinyl record player and a pink pop-up tent that's basically begging you to have backyard campouts. But some of my personal favorites include a foldable picnic table, perfect for enjoying a meal outside, and these flower-shaped glasses with a sort of nostalgic '60s vibe.

But, really, nothing is giving me heart eyes more than that printed floral trash can, and I'm going to scoop one up before they sell out.

The Goo Goo Dollsare dealing with a major interruption to their Canadian tour, as lead singer John Rzeznik has recently fallen ill.

The band has now canceled three concerts in a row, announcing on Thursday, April 2 that Rzeznik, 60, has been diagnosed with pneumonia.

In an Instagram post uploaded just hours before their concert in Hamilton, Ontario, the band announced, "With sorrow and gratitude, we must cancel tonight's show at TD Coliseum in Hamilton, ON, as John has been diagnosed with pneumonia." Fans with tickets to the show will be refunded "at the place of purchase."

According to the statement, the band still intends to resume the rest of their Canadian tour dates scheduled for the rest of the month, and they still "hope to see fans this Saturday in London, ON."

Thursday night's show is the third consecutive concert to be cancelled by the "Iris" rockers, after they already called off their show on Monday, March 30, just hours before they were supposed to take the stage at GFL Memorial Gardens in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. They later canceled the following performance, which was scheduled to take place on Wednesday, April 1 in Oshawa, Ontario.

"Get better soon Johnny, your health is more important than anything else," one of Rzeznik's fans wrote on Instagram after Thursday's announcement, while several other users expressed hopes for a "speedy recovery."

"Although I’m absolutely gutted I hope John feels better," someone else commented.

Fans are still hoping that the band will be able to play their upcoming shows scheduled throughout the rest of the month, including this weekend's stop in London, Ontario. The group is also set to perform in Ottawa, Ontario on Monday, April 6, followed by more shows in other provinces like Quebec, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

In May, the band will be performing a five-night limited residency in Las Vegas, before kicking off their U.S. summer tour in July.

Nancy Guthrie has been missing since Sunday, Feb. 1. And while Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has cleared the family, a former Orange County prosecutor is poking holes in that statement.

During a recent interview on Prof Jo Explains, Matt Murphy is offering insight into how investigators approach high-profile missing persons cases, explaining that detectives rarely rule anyone out entirely—even when law enforcement publicly clears family members. The perspective comes weeks after officials said Guthrie’s immediate relatives and their spouses were no longer considered suspects, adding important context to how such decisions are made behind the scenes.

"Nanos keeps coming out saying, you know, 'this person's been eliminated, that person's been eliminated. Contrary to popular belief, detectives don't eliminate anybody. The person with charging authority is not the booking officer that takes fingerprints. The person who charges is the prosecutor of the county," Murphy explained.

He went on to say that sometimes authorities will think they have a case figured out but then things take a turn and the case ends up being "totally different."

Nanos released a statement in an effort to stop the chatter about Guthrie's kids, namely her daughter Annie Guthrie and her husband, Tommaso Cioni, both of whom have been scrutinized by the public, with many blaming them for whatever might have happened to Nancy. Nanos clearly stated that the family were the victims in the case and that none of them were responsible for Nancy's disappearance.

Going into the third month of the investigation, Nancy's whereabouts are still unknown. Moreover, there has not been a suspect or suspects named in the case.

For the women who traveled abroad to Spain expecting an experience filled with memories, their reality was horrific and traumatizing, and it was all due to Manuel Blanco Vela.

The former Spanish tour guide was convicted of the sexual assault of three women, but his list of victims is thought to be much longer.

Gabrielle Vega made a brave decision in December 2017, when she decided to use social media to reveal that she was sexually assaulted four years earlier, in 2013, by Blanco Vela, who was her Spanish tour guide, according to PEOPLE.

What happened next is the last thing that Vega expected. Close to 10, even immediately reached out to Vega to share that they, too, had also been assaulted by Blanco Vela.

"When that show happened, a lot of people started reaching out to me," Vega said of her 2018 appearance on the now-defunct show Megyn Kelly Today in the 2025 Netflix docuseries The Predator of Seville. "My phone just started going off."

However, despite multiple women coming forward, Blanco Vela would not face punishment for the serial sexual assaults until over a decade later.

Language barriers and decisions against filing police reports led to ongoing delays in prosecuting Blanco Vela, whose case was initially investigated by Spain’s High Court, the Audiencia Nacional, back in May 2018.

Fast forward seven years, and in 2025, he was formally tried for the sexual assault of three American students: Vega, Hayley McAleese, and Carly Van Ostenbridge. 

Per PEOPLE, Blanco Vela was convicted and sentenced to six years for the sexual assault of Vega and two and a half years for assaulting McAleese and Van Ostenbridge.

Unfortunately, despite the legal victory, Blanco Vela, who operated Discover Excursions in Seville, Spain, was released from custody merely a week after his sentencing.

He is currently free until his prison sentence is finalized, a decision made by the High Court because Blanco Vela was not considered a flight risk, agreed to passport confiscation, a travel ban, and weekly court appearances.

As he awaits being transported back to prison once his sentence is finalized, Blanco Vela has filed an appeal of his conviction.

If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available 24 hours a day through RAINN's National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673.

Kelly Rizzo first came into contact with Full House star Bob Saget a decade ago to the day.

Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the widow of the comedian shared a screenshot of a direct message exchange where Saget reached out to her on April 2, 2016, with an open invitation to one of his Chicago shows. The sweet communication ended with Saget mentioning he'd like to take her to dinner.

View this post on Instagram

"10 years ago today, my life changed forever…Bob and I met the old fashioned way," she joked of him sliding into her DMs in the post's caption. "Bob and I shared this story publicly a ton and we always talked about his first message to me but I hadn’t gone back and actually seen it in years and years."

Rizzo couldn't help but admit that at the time she couldn't believe that Danny Tanner himself was reaching out to her.

"Even though, at the time, I was quite caught off guard… like 'What??? Bob Saget??'" she wrote.

Saget and Rizzo got married two years later in 2018 and were together until he unexpectedly died due to a fatal fall in January of 2022.

"God knows how grateful I am today that he messaged me and showed me what an incredible human he was and will forever be," she wrote. "The gratitude I feel for having him in my life is impossible to overstate. And also, thank you social media for making this possible!"

Sagets former co-stars, fellow comedians, and friends all took the comments, happy to see the message from their late pal.

"This is amazing," John Mayer wrote, while Full House co-star John Stamos echoed, "Amazing!"

Saget's onscreen daughter Candace Cameron Bure commented with laughing emojis while Full House regular Marla Sokoloff commented, "Oh I love this!!"

"That’s our Bob… smooth with it," added fellow comedian Loni Love. "Love you Kelly!!!!!"

Rizzo's post comes weeks after she candidly discussed the day that Saget died on her podcast, sharing minute-by-minute details of the hours after his death.

Has there ever been a flavor combination more readily made for each other than berries and cream?

Taking that remarkably delicious formula and using it as the basis for its brand-new flavor, Poppi has officially unveiled a first look at their upcoming product innovation: Berries & Cream Prebiotic Soda.

In a press release shared with us by a spokesperson for the brand, Poppi shared that the new flavor serves as a unique combination between refreshing whipped cream and a medley of classic fruits and berries.

"Think juicy blackberry, raspberry, and blueberry layered with a smooth, sweet cream finish that tastes like a treat but isn’t," the press release said.

As the release indicated, the new Berries & Cream flavor offers the same comparatively healthy twist on traditional soda products. Like all of Poppi's regular and limited-time flavors, the new flavor specifically avoids the high sugar and calorie count of established soda brands, delivering the refreshing taste fans crave without all the harmful ingredients.

With just 5 grams of sugar and 3 grams of fiber, the new Poppi soda only has 35 calories attached to it, a significant drop from the 150 calories found in most other name brand sodas.

As delicious as the new drink might sound, it's worth pointing out that the new flavor is exclusively available at Sprouts Farmers Market starting today. However, Poppi also confirmed that the new soda will soon make its way to Kroger locations across the country in the immediate months ahead.

The ideal drink to enjoy for the spring season, most shoppers were quick to voice their approval for the brand-new flavor on Poppi's social media page.

"Okay so I need NOW," one fan wrote on Instagram.

"Can't wait to try!" added another user.

Referencing the viral Starburst ad for the Berries & Cream flavor, one user humorously chimed in, "THE LITTLE LADS AND LASSES ARE SCREAMING RIGHT NOW."

Journey may be in the middle of their farewell tour, but for co-founder and guitarist Neal Schon, the road to peace has been extremely rocky.

For years, Schon and bandmate Jonathan Cain have been locked in a bitter ongoing dispute that has spilled into courtrooms, generated a steady stream of legal filings, and created an undeniably tense relationship within the iconic band.

The friction stems from a combination of financial disagreements and ideological differences—Schon has reportedly taken issue with Cain's vocal support forDonald Trump, right-wing causes, and Evangelical Christianity. Despite all of it, the two have continued performing together, keeping the drama firmly offstage.

Schon opened up about the situation in an interview with Rolling Stone shared on Tuesday, March 31. "I feel like I get one [lawsuit] served every week from his camp," he said. "It's like, 'Jesus Christ!' And learned to defend myself, really…I remember every aspect of everything that's gone down. I've been sober for 18 years completely, and my memory is sharp. I know everything about every Journey contract, every LLC, every corporation. So I feel very confident about being able to stand up to anything that I need to."

But more than anything, Schon, 72, sounded exhausted by it all. "I hate all these attorneys. It's so nuts," he said. "There's just so much ongoing noise. And I just want some f**king peace, for real. I'm just really tired of all the legal [battles]. It's meaningless to me. I don't have any time for it."

But what keeps him going is the music and the fans. "The music we've created together is amazing," Schon said. "And so, you have to celebrate that music with the fans. The fans are incredible. When I'm onstage, I don't think about any of [the drama]."

The band’s tensions aren't limited to the Cain dispute, either. Schon recently found himself at the center of a separate fan debate after sharing a lengthy tribute to Journey's five-decade history on Facebook. While the post was largely grateful in tone, fans noticed how Schon chose to reference iconic former lead singer Steve Perry. Schon credited Perry's "vocals and songwriting" with helping shape "a body of work that continues to resonate across generations," describing that chapter as "one of the most defining" in the band's history.

But for many fans, that wasn’t enough. "Without Steve Perry, Journey is nothing," one fan wrote. "Even Neal knows this, which is why he went out and got someone that sounds like Steve Perry. Every single Journey hit I know of was sung by Mr Perry. Without Steve Perry singing, it's just a cover band singing Journey songs." Another was equally blunt, telling Schon to "get a reality check" and adding, "Steve Perry WAS Journey… Does Neal think his (the Group's) success would have been as it is without Perry???” 

Journey's farewell tour is expected to run through 2027.
