Some people roll out of bed and reach for their phone. Others head straight for coffee. Barbie Ferreira? She runs a bath before her eyes are even fully open.

“I wake up, I go straight into the bathtub empty, and then I turn it on, and I let it fill up with me in there,” the 29-year-old Euphoria alum exclusively told Parade. “That’s how I wake up.”

It’s not a one-off habit, either. Ferreira said she’s been doing it since she was a kid, and lately, it’s part of a larger routine that helps her reset. Right now, that also includes starting her mornings with a sound bowl — something she turns to when she’s feeling stressed.

“It does the opposite for most people, where they get really sleepy,” she added. “For me, it helps me wake up.”

That mindset of slowing down and sticking with what feels good is exactly what drew the actress to her newest project. According to a press release issued Tuesday, March 31, Ferreira has teamed up with Los Angeles-based lifestyle brand For Your Soul on a limited-edition capsule collection built around everyday rituals and the small moments people return to.

For Your Soul

"We got to collaborate on what my favorite thing is, which is a matching tracksuit," she revealed. "I wear one every single day. I live in L.A., so it's part of the uniform. During the day, you wear a matching tracksuit. Perhaps at night, you change out of it."

Ferreira said she helped pick the colors, weighed in on the shoot, and even got to name some of the pieces. When asked which item she's already been living in, she didn't hesitate. "I love the red [tracksuit] because I love red," she said. "It looks really good on me." She also shouted out the pink hoodie as a close second.

"Barbie embodies authenticity and individuality in a way that feels deeply aligned with our brand," For Your Soul founder Maya Zafrani said in the press release. "We wanted the pieces to feel nostalgic, effortless, and personal, like something you reach for during the moments that make life meaningful."

The launch comes amid a busy few weeks for Ferreira. Earlier this month, she sat front row at Paris Fashion Week in a sheer Jean Paul Gaultier cutout gown that went viral, then appeared at the 98th Academy Awards in a custom cerulean GapStudio piece by Zac Posen. And April is shaping up to be even bigger. Her horror filmFaces of Death, alongside Charli XCX and Dacre Montgomery, hits theaters April 10 and her indie rom-com Mile End Kicks, which she also executive produced, opens April 17.

Euphoria Season 3 also returns that same week on April 12. Ferreira won't be reprising her role as Kat Hernandez, but she's previously said she still has love for the show. "I'm curious to see where it goes, just like everyone else," she told Elle in December 2024. “I’m excited to see what the girls do.”

For now, though, she's keeping it simple. Morning sound bowl, an empty bathtub, and a red tracksuit that looks really good on her.

Karla Mosley has been front and center as Dani Dupree on Beyond the Gates. As the series marks its one-year anniversary, the actress is reflecting on her character’s emotional journey, particularly her struggles with love and healing.

In a recent interview on The Gatekeepers Podcast, Mosley discussed Dani’s ability to move on and open herself up to love again.

When the show premiered, Dani was freshly divorced from her estranged husband Bill Hamilton (Timon Kyle Durrett), who was getting married to the woman he was having an affair with, Haley Lawson (Marquita Goings). As the series continued, Dani found comfort in the arms of Andre Richardson (Sean Freeman), whom she married in an impulsive alcohol induced Vegas wedding.

Mosley acknowledged the complexity of Dani’s choices, “It's that thing where you don't want to watch someone walk down a road that they’re on,” she said.

She admitted that some scenes have been difficult to film. “Sometimes I'll sit in hair and makeup and I'll be like ‘I don't want to do these scenes today’ because it's just so gross,” she said.

Mosley added that it can be frustrating to see Dani fall into old patterns. “I'm like oh man she's really back in her stuff, ya know? “she said. “It's hard to see someone do that when you're rooting for them move on,” she explained.

She believes Dani struggles with “receiving love,” which impacts her relationships.

Mosley said past trauma continues to shape Dani’s outlook. “I think she really has what she thinks she wanted with Bill, now with Andre and she's not able to let it all the way in.”

She added that Dani remains emotionally tied to Bill. “She keeps going back to this other person to see if she can find it in some way, find some kind of why,” Mosley explained.

Mosley also referenced advice she’s heard about relationships. “I have a friend who is a relationship therapists, and she always says, ‘Never have a closure conversation.’ Because, you’re never going to get what you want from it. After you leave someone, you just have to let it be. There are certain things that are not going to be healed and questions that you may never have answered, but you just have to let it go. I think Dani isn't capable of doing that.”

She joked that is why Dani’s sister Nicole is always encouraging her to seek therapy.

Taylor Swift has never been shy about wearing her influences on her sleeve, but her latest music video takes that idea to a new level.

The 36-year-old surprised fans on Tuesday, March 31, by dropping the visual for her song "Elizabeth Taylor," and Swift actually took a backseat for the vid. 

The video is built almost entirely from archival footage and public images of the Golden Age Hollywood icon, weaving together clips from some of Elizabeth Taylor’s most celebrated films—think Cleopatra, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, Giant, and more. 

Fans were shocked and excited about the new drop, too.

“Awww I love this so much. What a beautiful tribute!!!! Perfectly done,” one fan commented on an Instagram post from a fan account sharing the news.

Another exclaimed, “Okay just drop this on us on a random Tuesday!!”

“Brb crying my eyes violet ,” a third shared.

The connection between the two runs deeper than the visuals. The song's lyrics zero in on the details that made Elizabeth a legend (her famous violet eyes, her diamonds, her taste for the finer things).

And the inspiration, it turns out, came from an unexpected place. In a TikTok video, Swift revealed that her parents sent her a clip of Elizabeth's son suggesting that if there were one person he might compare to his mother in the modern day, it would be Swift. "I was so flattered by that," she said. "I just immediately started talking to Travis [Kelce] about it... I had to get out of the car. I was like, 'One sec, I have to get out of the car for a second,' and I just sang this melody into my phone, got back in the car and… that's what it's like when it happens."

Swift had previously sought permission from Elizabeth’s estate before releasing the song, and the video's end credits include a thank you to the House of Taylor and the Elizabeth Taylor Trust. For now, the video is available exclusively on Apple Music and premium Spotify.

As a Philadelphia native, I recognize that I am fully sticking my neck out here by "steaking" (get it?) my claim for the best cheesesteak in town. It is a fraught subject among Philadelphians. We all have a favorite place and a specific way to order it, and we will defend both until our dying breath. Admittedly, the regional sandwich has a lot of purveyors that each bring a little something different to it. Angelo's Pizzeria is credited with introducing Philadelphians to Cooper Sharp cheese on their sandwiches, while Dalessandro's is known for the addition of chunky sautéed onions.

Pat's King of Steaks, which started out as a hot dog stand, is widely credited as the inventor of the cheesesteak sandwich. Its most famed rival is Geno's, which surfaced in 1966 across the way from Pat's, and they sling thinly sliced steaks with lots of Whiz.

But honestly, my likely "controversial" take is that the best cheesesteak in Philly isn't loaded with onions or Whiz. And the most iconic place to get it? Jim's Steaks on the iconic South Street.

Wit or Wit-out?

As a teenager, my favorite place in the entire world to go was South Street—so much so that any time the weather is over 65 degrees, my best friend and I still text each other that it is a "perfect" South Street day. When I was younger, it was full of eclectic shops, talented buskers, and some of the best food in the city. If we weren't grabbing a slice at Lorenzo's (truthfully one of my favorite pizzas in the city) and scarfing it down in our favorite cobblestone alleyway, we were standing in the line that wrapped around the corner for Jim's.

When in Philly…thanks for the deelish cheesesteak @Jim’s South Street ❤️🫡

Jim's excellence is in its simplicity. While they do offer options like mushrooms, pizza steaks, and more, my favorite way to get it is chopped, wit (onions) and American cheese. The steak is perfectly tender and chopped, the onions are deliciously sautéed to the point of near (but not quite) caramelization, and the American cheese makes it taste like the sandwiches my mom would make on quick-dinner nights. While you can get it with Whiz or provolone, in my opinion, there is just no comparison to the mild taste of American that doesn't overpower the meat. One piece of advice: approach the cooks with your order ready to go, especially if it's busy. State your sandwich, your onion preference, and your cheese type—something like, "Can I get a cheesesteak, wit, and American cheese."

The thing about Jim's is it is also an experience. Because it is just down the street from one of my favorite venues, The Theatre of Living Arts (better known as the TLA), it is one of the best places to congregate after a show. Once, after seeing a concert there, we were waiting in a mile-long line for a steak, and when we got inside, a Boyz II Men classic came on and the entire shop—from the customers to the line cooks—belted out in song. It's just got a genuine vibe you can't deny. The place itself is covered in wall-to-wall celebrity patron photos, and the upstairs, though tiny, is a perfect people-watching perch to eat and observe the characters of South Street.

While I highly encourage travelers to hit up as many cheesesteak joints as they can while in the city, if you only have time or desire to snag one, Jim's is the best place to do it.

If your upbringing — or maybe your kids' upbringing — overlapped with the late '90s, the infamous Teletubbies might ring a bell.

The British pre-school TV series certainly stirred the pot when it came to kids' programming, since the adorable characters became hugely popular and were complemented by the show's high production value. But then there was the flipside...

Concerns had grown that younglings were becoming increasingly hooked on TV because of the Teletubbies, who arguably offered little to no educational value during each episode.

Nevertheless, the pop-culture sensation is still going strong decades later, with an active social media presence and all (see below). And it's hard to believe the franchise's very first episode aired exactly 29 years ago today (March 31) in the U.K.

View this post on Instagram

The show has been translated into 45 different languages and has won numerous awards, including two BAFTAs, The Mirror reports — and 42 Teletubbies toys were reportedly being sold every minute as of 2022.

That same year, a reboot launched on Netflix and was narrated by Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt scene-stealer Tituss Burgess. The beloved Emmy nominee, 47, is also known for hosting shows, including Dishmantled and Sing On! and has experience voicing characters, including roles on Central Park, Smurfs: The Lost Village and The Angry Birds Movie, among others.

But it was years earlier for Teletubbies when darker controversy arose in the U.S. In 1999, the Rev. Jerry Falwell accused the Tinky Winky character of being a gay role model because:

• he was purple
• he had an antenna that was shaped like a triangle
• he carried a purse

His claims made national news and generated big controversy, much it unfavorable to Falwell — whose now-defunct Moral Morality organization was politically active during the 1980s, according to reports.

Distributors of Teletubbies ultimately made it clear that the character was not gay, and the “purse” was actually a “magic bag.”

It's that time of the year! April Fools' Day falls on April 1 every year and has been observed for centuries across various cultures, yet its precise origins remain unknown.

The Roast Iconic by Marcella Kroll

Aries: Vampire

Have you recently noticed people fleeing the room at your arrival, Aries? Let’s be honest! You’re a fiery one, and due to the universe currently working in your favor, you might have well… gotten used to taking a lot of space and energy from those around you. This card is your call to go within and ask yourself: How can I take space without making it all about myself?

Gemini: Troll

Do you believe in the concept of “necessary evil,” Gemini? And, do you consider yourself the one who should play Devil’s Advocate? Well, tough love from the cosmos arrives now to tell you that instead of wasting your precious energy arguing about one thing or another, it might be time to focus on you! Self-examination or taking up a hobby might be more productive than getting a rise out of people.

Cancer: Fashion Witch

Ruled by the moon, you’ve received unique gifts from the universe. You are an innate enchantress, a legendary conjurer, and a master manifester—and you know it! The appearance of this card, however, points to your wanting (consciously or unconsciously) to control a specific outcome or situation.

Leo: Feral

Leo, you’re on fire! If you’ve been moody, overly intense, or just feeling kind of wild lately, this card’s prank on you is honest advice. Take some time alone, eat well, get some rest, and take care of yourself. This is not about “playing nice,” by the way—it’s more about giving your mind, body, and spirit what they need so you can later re-emerge like the Lion Queen you are!

Go ahead and show the world what you’ve got because the masses are ready to be serenaded by your intelligence and the magic of your voice.

Libra: Shadow

You sure are charming, Libra—but that does not exempt you from having a “shadow side.” Enmascarated as an April Fools’ Day prank, this card urges you to get real with yourself. It’s now time to see, get acquainted with, and integrate the dark side of your personality. By shining a light on a secret, an action, or a side of yourself you would rather not see, you open the doors to self-healing.

Scorpio: The Oracle

There is only a bigger prank than second-guessing yourself, and that is third-guessing yourself, Scorpio! This card is here to remind you that, as the ultimate shaman of the zodiac, you are the oracle. You already know what will transpire, what will not, and what needs to happen for you to truly remember who you are. You’re no basic bitch, so resolve to own your immense power already!

Sagittarius: Cult Leader

It's time to come down from cloud nine, Sagittarius! We know you're smart, well-read, and oh-so-worldly. But guess what? What you consider "the truth" might only be your truth and not necessarily other people's reality. You're sure special—but if you've been unconsciously (or consciously) giving off "guru" or "demigod" vibes, this card is your passport to, once again, finding humility within yourself.

Capricorn: Legend

As the epitome of stoicism, you’re one of the strongest signs in the entire zodiac. You’re successful, you’re admired, you’re respected, and others see you as unshakable. You are the Capricorn legend—but how approachable are you? This card’s prank on you reminds you that while your strength is legendary, you’re also human. Dare to cry; dare to be vulnerable…it might be good for you!

Wow, Aquarius! Are you behaving this intensely as a defense mechanism? Of course, it’s okay to stand up for yourself—what is not okay is to respond with the same venom that’s being thrown at you! The Bitch card helps you dodge bad vibes while maintaining your integrity. You don’t want to resemble your enemies—or even worse, your frenemies—do you?!

Pisces: Billionaire

Are you keeping money or resources stored under your mattress in the spirit of “saving for a rainy day,” Pisces? The Billionaire card is here to remind you that monetary wealth does not translate to personal happiness. Contrary to what you think, gifting (and not hoarding) a little of your abundance to those in need will create more reasons for being grateful for what you attract.

The late '90s were full of popular TV series that have stood the test of time as nostalgia classics, with Melissa Joan Hart giving fans a taste of the past. The 49-year-old actor had a fun night out with her formerSabrina the Teenage Witch costars and had fans remembering the beloved series.

In 1996, Hart was in her early 20s when she played the infamous role of Sabrina Spellman on the ABC series. The fantasy sitcom starred her in the leading role of a teenage witch living with her two 600-year-old aunts, Hilda (Caroline Rhea) and Zelda. It's been over 20 years since the series came to an end, but fans and the original cast haven't forgotten their close bond.

Hart posted on Instagram a reunion selfie with her former Sabrina the Teenage Witch costars Beth Broderickand Nate Richert. While all smiles for the camera, she captioned the photo, "When the magic fam comes together!"

View this post on Instagram

Their small reunion had fans feeling nostalgic, with one fan commenting, "I've been watching Sabrina the Teenage Witch awhile back till now, I'm still binge watching. Best show."

"YAAAAAY!!! You all make me SO HAPPY !!! I am GLAD everyone is doing WELL. GO TEAM !!!" said another.

Another chimed in saying, "I watch this show when I’m sad, anxious, happy, need a laugh, worried, sick…best comfort show!"

Many fans commented on how they have rewatched and binged the show over the years. Other fans even commented on their dire need for a reboot series with the original cast. One fan even suggested a reboot involving Sabrina and Harvey having twins, with the show focusing on their being raised with magical powers.

Sabrina the Teenage Witch ended its run after seven seasons in 2003. The reboot idea could work as the series finale revealed that Harvey and Sabrina find each other again, just as she was ready to say "I Do" to someone else. In the end, her high school sweetheart was her true love all along. The chance of a reboot or series continuation is unlikely. Hart has previously commented that they have no plans to bring back the original sitcom series, and for good reason.

"There's too much red tape to get through. I mean, I think we would all have a lot of fun, but I don't think that that necessarily makes for a good show just because we're having a blast. I think that it's really hard to reboot something, do it smart," she said at That's 4 Entertainment 90s Con.

Hart adds that another reason is due to fan expectations after wanting a reboot for so long. The actor says that they are unlikely to "ever make anyone happy" and live up to what they truly want.

When things fall apart, some people rush toward the chaos, feeling scattered and unsure of what to do next. Conversely, others manage to bring a sense of order to the situation. They remain steady, think clearly under pressure, and often instinctively know what needs to happen next. While much of this instinct is tied to personality, your birth month can also reveal cosmic clues about how you respond in critical moments. Some people bring calmness. Others take action. And fourtanely, some exhibit a quiet strength that holds everything together without demanding recognition. Read on to discover the four birth months people instinctively rely on when everything is on the line.

Which Birth Months Do People Turn To During Crisis?

Birth months are listed. Disregard your birth date.

RELATE?: These 4 Birth Months Transform Pain Into Personal Empowerment

January

January-born people are steady when it matters most. While everyone else is reacting, you're already thinking a few steps ahead. You don't panic but pause, take it in, and figure out what needs to be done. There's a natural sense of control in how you handle things, even when everything feels uncertain. Whether you connect more with Capricorn discipline or Aquarius vision, those born in January bring order amidst chaos. People trust you because you mean what you say and you follow through, especially when things aren't easy.

April

April birthdays don't wait around for others to act. When something goes wrong, you jump in and deal with it, which keeps everything from falling apart. You take the lead without permission, making decisions and pushing things forward while others are still processing. Whether you lean more toward Aries or Taurus, you balance boldness with reliability. Your bold, courageous streak doesn't leave it for someone else to handle. Rather, people born in April make sure it gets handled.

FURTHER: Your Past Life, According to Birth Date

September

September-borns have a way of making things feel less overwhelming. When a situation gets messy, you naturally start sorting through it, picking up on details that others overlook. You're practical and level-headed, which helps you turn big problems into smaller, manageable steps. Whether you relate more to Virgo's precision or Libra's sense of balance, you bring a calming kind of order to difficult moments. You don't add to the stress—you quietly ease it, helping everyone regain a sense of control. People born in September are detail-oriented, mindful companions who know how to not only fix a mess but also build structure, routine, or protocol to prevent further chaos.

December

December-borns have a strength that shows up when people need it most. When things get heavy, instead of shutting down, you keep going and somehow help others do the same. There's a mix of honesty and lightness in how you handle tough situations that makes people feel like they can breathe again. Whether you connect more with Sagittarius freedom or Capricorn determination, you remain grounded under pressure. People born in December reassure the angsty or restless that things will be okay. The way you carry yourself and keep moving forward instills mature calmness.

Before it became one of the most beloved love songs of the 1960s, Brian Wilson’s 1964 classic was born from a quiet, comforting moment that sparked its timeless romance.

"Don't Worry Baby" came after Wilson faced a frustrating day in the recording studio. He was comforted by his then-girlfriend Marilyn Rovell, per American Songwriter.

The publication quoted Wilson's memoir, Wouldn’t It Be Nice: My Own Story, where Wilson shared that Rovell offered support, saying, "Don’t worry, baby, it’s going to be great.”

The songwriter wrote, “I called lyricist Roger Christian and told him I had an idea. He met me one afternoon at my parents’ house, where, in one of our last collaborations, we wrote a lush ballad whose title and chorus came directly from Marilyn’s comforting words, ‘Don’t Worry, Baby.’ I knew the song was a smash before we finished writing it.”

The song's inspiration came from Wilson's favorite song, "Be My Baby" by The Ronettes. After he wrote "Don't Worry Baby," Wilson reportedly offered the song to Phil Spector for the girl group to record. However, Spector wasn't interested in a song he didn't have a hand in writing.

Ronnie Spector released her cover of "Don't Worry Baby" in 1999. The song was included on her EP She Talks to Rainbows, produced by Joey Ramone. Although the song was originally written for her by Wilson in 1964, she did not officially record it until 35 years later.

Wilson found out that Spector finally recorded the song during a 1999 interview with Rodney Bingenheimer on KROQ. His reaction is priceless.

In 2002, the two music legends were reunited ahead of Wilson's concert at The Beacon Theater in New York City. They discussed the song and why its important to both of them.

"You wrote 'Don't Worry Baby' right after we recorded 'Be My Baby,'" Spector said. "That song was supposed to be for me, and Phil [Spector] didn't write it, so he said, 'No way.'"

Spector exclaimed, "It's such a great [expletive] song! 'Don't Worry Baby' would have been the perfect follow-up to 'Be My Baby.' Instead, he did 'Baby I Love You.'"

"I waited years to do it," Spector told Wilson. He responded, "This is so special, I can't believe it."

"Don't Worry Baby" reached No. 24 on the Billboard Hot 100 in July 1964. The song remained on the charts for 10 weeks and became a timeless Beach Boys Classic.

It’s arguably the most famous silhouette in the history of theme park transportation, but as of March 30, the "Highway in the Sky" has officially gone dark. Disneyland has indefinitely closed its historic Monorail system for a major refurbishment, leaving Tomorrowland a little quieter than usual this spring.

While any closure of an opening-day-adjacent attraction can feel like a blow to the nostalgia, this move is less about a permanent goodbye and more about another "health check" for a system that has been running since 1959.

According to construction permits viewed by Inside The Magic, Disney is focusing on the "invisible" magic—updating electrical systems and reinforcing the support pillars that carry the 2.5-mile track through the Downtown Disney District and into the park.

For many of us, the Monorail isn't just a way to skip the walk from the parking lot; it’s a core Disney memory. Walt Disney himself was obsessed with the idea that this sleek, futuristic tram would become the public transportation of the future.

While we aren't all commuting to work via monorail in 2026, the ride remains the ultimate must-do for every Mickey trip—that mid-afternoon loop that offers a cool breeze and a bird's-eye view of the Matterhorn when the park crowds get a little too intense.

Because the Monorail is currently the only way to access the Tomorrowland-specific entrance, guests will need to stick to the main gates for the time being. Disneyland hasn't pinned down a return date yet, but since the upgrades are structural, we can expect the same iconic look and feel when it eventually glides back into the station. It’s a "slow down to speed up" moment for a piece of history that has been a vacation staple for 66 years.

New mom Vanessa Hudgens may show off her flowing brunette locks on the red carpet, but the High School Musical star is suffering from a very common condition that affects her appearance―postpartum hair loss.

In a recent clip the actress posted to her Instagram Stories, the mom to two (a son born in 2024 and a daughter born in 2025, with husband, former MLB baseball player, Cole Tucker) showed a strand-filled hand with the caption, “And so it begins,” along with a candid selfie and the statement, “Having a great hair day even with my hair loss lol.”

What should new moms know about postpartum hair loss?

People lose hair for all kinds of reasons. Genetics, chemical treatments, and heat styling can all contribute to this common problem. But when it comes to postpartum hair loss (also known by the technical medical term telogen effluvium), it is typically the result of hormonal changes, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. 

Along with hormones, other possible causes of post-pregnancy hair shedding include nutritional deficiencies, genetics, and physical or emotional stress. 

Is postpartum hair loss common?

While Hudgens is a high-profile mom who is dealing with this challenging post-pregnancy issue, she certainly isn’t the only one. A 2023 investigation into the problem,  published in the International Journal of Women’s Dermatology, found that over 91% of the participants experienced postpartum hair loss. According to the study’s stats, the average onset of hair loss was between two and three months after giving birth, with the peak at just over five-months postpartum. 

When did Vanessa Hudgens welcome her second baby?

Hudgens announced the birth of her second child, a baby girl, in November 2025. The 37-year-old welcomed her daughter with a sweet Instagram post, giving props to all of the other pregnant mamas out there, “Well…I did it. Had another baby!!! What a wild ride labor is. Big shout out to all the moms. It’s truly incredible what our bodies can do.”

Instead of a perfectly staged pic, the actress chose to include a very real snapshot of herself in a hospital bed, messy IVs and all! In repsonse one fan praised the celeb mommy, commenting, “It’s the natural, vulnerable, unposed photo for me…what a beautiful representation of the real & raw journey of motherhood.”

What can moms do about postpartum hair loss?

Luckily for Hudgens, postpartum hair loss usually isn’t permanent. Information from Johns Hopkins Medicine explains that the issue usually resolves on its own between six and 12 months after giving birth. 

Jack Quaid, the son of Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid, looked just like his famous father during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Monday evening.

Jack, 33, who made his acting debut in The Hunger Games, has gone on to great success thanks to his role as Hugh "Hughie" Campbell in The Boys. Roles in films like Oppenheimer and Novocaine also scored him serious acclaim. But in his Monday appearance on The Tonight Show, there was no doubt who the young actor's dad is. One glance and that sweet smile, and it was clear he's a Quaid, through and through.

While Quaid looked like his dad, he spoke about doing improv with his legendary mother, Meg Ryan.

"It was no surprise, but she got giant laughs," Quaid shared. "She crushed it."

What Has Jack Quaid Said About Growing Up With Two Famous Parents?

When it comes to growing up with two famous parents in Hollywood, Quaid shared that he knows it likely helped him get through the door on the way to success in the entertainment industry.

“I am an immensely privileged person,” he shared in 2024 during a podcast interview with The Daily Beast. Quaid added that he “was able to get representation pretty early on, and that’s more than half the battle.” However, that doesn't mean he hasn't worked hard to get where he is. The actor noted that he “just tried to work as hard as I possibly can to prove that I deserve to walk through that door…I need to work my a– off.”

What Has Dennis Quaid Said About His Son's Career?

Dennis Quaid is one proud dad when it comes to his son. Last year, when Jack's film Novocaine led the domestic box office in its opening weekend, Quaid told PEOPLE that he's immensely proud, and not a bit surprised.

"I just talked to him last night. His movie's no. 1. I mean, that's incredible, really great," Dennis shared. "He certainly deserves it. He's just getting started. You haven't seen nothing yet when it comes to him."

Beetlejuice not only jump-started Tim Burton’s career but also redefined a specific movie genre by mixing dark comedy and horror-fantasy, later turning it into a cult favorite among fans.

Released in 1988, the award-winning filmmaker showcased his Gothic romance style, fusing quirky dark fantasy now called "Burtonesque."

Thirty-eight years after it first hit theaters, the movie’s legacy still lives on and it landed on the top 10 list of “Greatest Dark Fantasy Movies of the Last 100 Years.”

In a report cited by Collider, Beetlejuice was ranked sixth place on the list, next to the critically acclaimed stop-motion film Coraline.

The movie was celebrated for its “state-of-the-art special effects” at the time and for the ability to evoke ’80s nostalgia with the mix of humor and horror.

Beetlejuice tells the story of a deceased couple who hired a bio-exorcist in hopes of scaring away the new living inhabitants of their New England home. Not only that, but it also highlights the protagonists' struggle to deal with the afterlife.

In addition to the unique storyline, the movie also showcased an interesting cast lineup, starting with Michael Keaton as the chaotic “bio-exorcist” named Beetlejuice. The then-teenage rising star Winona Ryder took on the role of the goth teenage daughter, Lydia Deetz, who has the ability to see ghosts.

Adding to the list of original cast members were Alec Baldwin, Geena Davis, the late Catherine O'Hara, and Jeffrey Jones.

The popularity also sparked a sequel and a musical play, reintroducing Beetlejuice to new viewers.

Thirty-six years later, Burton released the sequel, Beetlejuice 2, which serves as the follow-up to the 1988 film.

It also featured new additions like Jenna Ortega, Willem Dafoe, Monica Bellucci and returning stars including Keaton, O’Hara and Ryder.

Speaking of the ‘80s icon, she told The Backstage Experience that she “never imagined” portraying the same character again after almost four decades.

Describing the project as a “dream come true,” she shared that there were plans for a sequel featuring the original cast.

“There was a decade in which there were conversations about.. But it had to be perfect and there’s no compromise. It had to be everyone who it was.”

The actress also shared her thoughts on seeing Keaton in the iconic costume again decades later.

“I got emotional,” she said, adding, “I welled up because it was just a special time. I remember I was 15 when I did the first one. It was such an incredible experience and Michael was so kind and wonderful with me… the opposite of Beetlejuice.”

Everyone has their favorite order when it comes to Shake Shack's expansive menu, whether you gravitate towards a classic dish like a cheeseburger or a heartier SmokeShack.

As great as most of these menu items are, Shake Shack's latest menu items might very well be your next go-to order when stepping foot in the popular fast food chain.

According to Southern Living, the fan-favorite burger restaurant is officially rolling out a new spring menu that includes two highly anticipated burger innovations.

These new menu items include the Clubhouse Pimento Cheese Burger and the Clubhouse Pimento Cheese Chicken Sandwich, each of which take sample inspiration from traditional Southern cooking (as the name is sure to imply).

As those familiar with home-cooked Southern cuisine are sure to know, pimento cheese (often called the "caviar of the South") serves as a mixture of cheddar cheese, mayonnaise and diced pimento chili peppers, blended together to form a rich, creamy spread.

While you're free to have it on its own via a simple Saltine cracker or an equally delicious sandwich, the spread can also be applied to a variety of savory dishes, including (in Shake Shack's case) cheeseburgers.

The new menu items feature the following descriptions:

• Clubhouse Pimento Cheese Burger: A quarter-pound Angus beef patty topped with pimento cheese spread, lettuce, tomato and ShackSauce on a toasted potato bun.
• Clubhouse Pimento Cheese Chicken Sandwich: Breaded white-meat chicken breast topped with pimento cheese spread, shredded lettuce, pickles and ShackSauce on a toasted potato bun. 

Both sandwiches arrive to Shake Shack on March 31, with prices listed at $9.99 per sandwich.

As expected, the response to the new burger menu has been overwhelmingly positive, as evidenced by the enthusiastic comments on Shake Shack's Instagram page.

"Omg no way! This makes me so happy!" one fan wrote in the comments' section.

"Love that you guys are constantly giving us new, authentic menu items!" another fan agreed.

"Ohhhhh I'll be waiting," added a third.

​​Air travel in 2026 is already shaping up to be unpredictable, but one of the strangest new trends might also be the most telling. Faced with hours-long security lines at airports across the country, some travelers are now paying “placeholding concierges” to stand in TSA lines for them. It sounds unusual, even a little absurd but it’s quickly becoming a real solution to a very real problem.

The Rise of TSA Line Sitters

In cities like New York and Houston, a new kind of side hustle is gaining attention: professional line-sitting. These individuals, sometimes part of established concierge services, are hired to physically wait in line at airport security while the traveler does something else, like grabbing food, relaxing, or even arriving later.

The concept is simple: you skip the stress, someone else does the waiting.

Why This Is Happening

This trend is a direct response to ongoing chaos at airport security checkpoints. A major factor is a staffing shortage within the Transportation Security Administration, worsened by a partial government shutdown earlier this year. Thousands of agents were working without pay, and many either quit or called out, leading to severe delays nationwide. 

At some airports, wait times have stretched to several hours, with lines wrapping outside terminals and travelers missing flights altogether.  While it is getting better now that TSA workers have received some back pay, the crowding issue hasn't fully recovered yet. In short: the system is strained, and travelers are getting creative.

Travelers in Texas spent hours in line trying to get through security at George Bush Intercontinental Airport on Friday. Airport delays continue to impact travel across the nation as Congress remains at an impasse over funding the Department of Homeland Security, which includes TSA. #airport #travel #tsa #us #dhs

♬ original sound - cbsnews How the Service Works

The process is surprisingly straightforward. A hired “line sitter” arrives at the airport hours before your flight and joins the TSA queue. They may even bring luggage or props to appear like a regular traveler.

Once they’re close to the front, usually within a set number of people, they contact the client, who then takes their place and proceeds through security. It’s a workaround that blends convenience with a bit of logistical gray area.

Samuel, who has been in the business of place holding for years and is founder of a place-holding concierge business himself, shared with the New York Post, “We’re currently receiving inquiries about sitting in TSA lines at LaGuardia and JFK. We charge $25 per hour with a 2-hour minimum booking requirement.”

A Sign of Changing Travel Priorities

At its core, this trend highlights something bigger: modern travelers are increasingly willing to pay for convenience. Whether it’s priority boarding, lounge access, or expedited security programs, the travel experience has long been tiered by how much you’re willing to spend. Line sitters are simply the latest extension of that idea; an informal, unregulated version of “skip-the-line” access.

The Bigger Picture

The rise of TSA line sitters may seem like a quirky headline, but it reflects a deeper shift in how people approach travel. It also raises questions about fairness, security, and the future of airport systems. Should skipping lines be something anyone can buy? And what happens if these unofficial services become more widespread?

Paying someone to stand in a TSA line might sound extreme but in today’s travel environment, it’s becoming surprisingly practical. For now, it remains a niche solution to a widespread problem. But if long security lines continue, don’t be surprised if this unusual travel hack becomes a lot more common.

Finding a high-end all-inclusive vacation for a steal usually requires a stroke of luck, but a recent expansion of the World of Hyatt portfolio has created a rare "glitch in the matrix" for travelers looking to book for 2026 and 2027.

According to a deep dive by travel points expert Kyle Stewart on Live and Let's Fly, the hotel giant has quietly added 22 new Bahia Principe resorts to its "Inclusive Collection," spanning the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Jamaica and Spain’s Canary Islands.

For anyone who prioritizes a smart splurge, the timing here is everything. Hyatt is scheduled for a major award chart overhaul in May 2026, which typically means the points required for these stays will head north.

However, because these 22 properties were just added, there is a narrow window to lock in the current, lower rates before the May shift. As Stewart points out, "If you redeem now at current pricing and a property’s category increases in May, your existing booking is honored at today’s rate," making this a virtually risk-free way to secure a luxury stay.

The new additions are categorized into two distinct vibes: "Bahia Principe Escape," which is strictly adults-only with a focus on quiet pools and upgraded dining, and "Bahia Principe Explore," designed for families with water parks and organized kids' clubs.

The standout value appears to be in the Dominican Republic and Mexico. For example, the Bahia Principe Explore La Romana in the Dominican Republic is currently bookable for as little as 12,000 points per night during off-peak dates. With cash rates for these properties typically hovering around $200 to $250 per night, you are essentially getting a 5-star experience for about the same "price" in points as a standard Hyatt Place in a suburban office park.

In Mexico, the Bahia Principe Explore Akumal—located in that trendy stretch between Playa del Carmen and Tulum—is priced at 20,000 points per night for a standard stay. When compared to cash rates that often start at $300 or more, you’re clearing the 1.5 cents-per-point mark that experts consider the "gold standard" for Hyatt redemptions.

Beyond the points math, there is an added bonus for those traveling this spring. Hyatt is running a "double points" promotion for stays completed by June 30, which also applies to these new properties. Whether you are eyeing a 12,000-point-per-night stay in La Romana or a more premium suite in Jamaica’s Runaway Bay, the addition of these 22 resorts means your next vacation could include the food, the drinks and the beach chair for significantly less than the sticker price.

Spring has officially sprung! But, with the advent of streaming, the garden of TV has always been in bloom (for lack of a better term). No matter the month, there always seems to be some show that's on the horizon, ready to keep our eyes glued to the screen as we stay inside to avoid myriad allergy attacks. And, this upcoming month, I've got an eye on a handful of things, from the final seasons of The Boys and Hacks to highly-anticipated returns of Euphoria and Beef to Malcolm in the Middle's revival over 20 years in the making.

Here are the top 5 shows I'm most excited for in April 2026 across broadcast TV, Netflix, Prime Video and more.

The Top 5 TV Shows Premiering in April 2026The Boys Season 5 (April 8) Jensen Ackles as Soldier Boy (L) and Antony Starr as Homelander (R) in 'The Boys'

Courtesy of Amazon

What exactly is The Boys at its core? A send-up of superhero culture when it was at its mainstream peak? A commentary on the push and pull between celebrities and corporations? A thinly veiled satire of a certain Commander-in-Chief. Much like Homelander (Antony Starr), the hit Prime Video series' power set seems to be all of the above.

The final season of Eric Kripke's show kicks off with the titular "supe" resistance force in dire straits. The megalomaniacal Homelander has essentially been given unlimited control, and former leader Butcher (Karl Urban) has gone rogue, holding a deadly biological weapon that could wipe out anyone with powers. Considering the dark and incredibly graphic nature of The Boys up to this point, we're bound to lose at least a few of the teeming ensemble cast by the time things are said and done. And, with the first two of the final eight episodes dropping on April 8, we shall see if they choose to start things off with a bang (and hopefully in not a "Herogasm"-esque way).

Hacks Season 5 (April 9) (L-R) Jean Smart as Deborah and Hannah Einbinder in 'Hacks'

Courtesy of HBO

The trajectory of Hacks is not dissimilar to one of an up-and-coming comic. Serving as one of the debut scripted series for nubile streaming service HBO Max in 2021, the comedy show quickly caught fire, gaining immediate critical acclaim. And the hype behind the adventures of Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) hasn't died down, with the show and its stars picking up well-deserved Emmy wins (including four straight awards for Smart).

Sadly, all good sets must come to an end. And so Hacks is finishing, appropriately, with a "tight five," with the final season premiering April 9. Season 4 had Deborah arguably hitting her lowest point, quitting her late-night show and running away to Singapore. But, after reading a false obituary, she's eager to bring her career — and herself — back from the dead. No matter where she and Ava end up by season's end, Hacks fans should be in store for plenty of cameos, including a number of famous faces playing fictional versions of themselves.

Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair (April 10) Frankie Muniz as Malcolm in 'Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair'

Disney/David Bukach

Before Bryan Cranston was running through the New Mexican desert in his briefs on Breaking Bad, he was standing in the kitchen in his tightie-whities, getting his back shaved. Malcolm in the Middle was a key part of FOX's powerhouse comedy line-up in the early 2000s, becoming one of the first single-camera sitcoms that didn't make use of a laugh track or a studio audience. Instead, we were brought intimately into the home of a house teeming with testosterone as dysfunction, as Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) talked through the trial and tribulations of being the black sheep of the family.

Now, after nearly 20 years away, the family is back with a whole new generation of shenanigans. Nearly all the stars of the original series are reprising their roles, including Muniz, Cranston, Jane Kaczmarek, Justin Berfield and Christopher Masterson. Not to mention now Malcolm is in the middle of two different levels of the family tree, as he's now trying to take care of his own daughter, Leah (Keeley Karsten), who's showing way too many of her father's neurotic tendencies. With all four episodes dropping on April 10, it's the latest sitcom to re-emerge in the 2020s, trying to both update its comedy for the modern age while reminding us what made it a classic in the first place.

Euphoria Season 3 (April 12) Zendaya as Rue in 'Euphoria'

Patrick Wymore/HBO

Here's everything that has happened since Euphoria was last on the air. Zendaya continued to see box office success with Dune Part Two and Challengers, and both got engaged to and secretly married Tom Holland. Sydney Sweeney became a movie star in her own right and has been quite the talk of the town — for better or worse. After winning an Emmy for his performance as Ali, Colman Domingo received two Oscar nominations in a row. And creator Sam Levinson attempted another HBO project with the critically-panned The Idol.

Indeed, as the years went on, and the star power of the cast began to rise, there was considerable discourse as to whether Euphoria would ever return for Season 3. And, at long last, school is back in session for Rue and company. Not literally, as it seems the new batch of episodes will be moving away from its academic setting. And it won't be without some losses, namely the absence of cast members like Angus Cloud, Barbie Ferreira and Storm Reid. But regardless of the number of teens we see on screen, they will surely be troubled, and we'll be along for every moment of one of the wildest rides on HBO today.

Beef Season 2 (April 16) (L to R) Charles Melton as Austin Davis, Carey Mulligan as Lindsay Crane-Martin, Oscar Isaac as Josh Martin, Cailee Spaeny as Ashley Miller in 'Beef'

Courtesy of Netflix

Beef was one of the meatiest shows when it debuted in 2023. While the series was fueled by the deep-seated anger between Danny (Steven Yeun) and Amy (Ali Wong), smiles were abound as the show picked up massive acclaim and Emmys for both of its stars, as well as creator Lee Sung Jin. And now it's time to serve up more petty grievances for another helping of Beef.

Season 2, airing in its entirety on April 16, goes the full anthology route. This time, we're taken to the inner workings of a Korean country club, as a young couple coincidentally bears witness to a frightening argument between their boss and his wife. Yeun and Wong are out, as Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, Charles Melton and Cailee Spaeny step into the proverbial slaughterhouse, in a set of performances that are sure to be far from lean.
