Eric Clapton’s 1992 hit “Tears in Heaven” was more than a celebrated classic, earning widespread recognition as one of the 100 Greatest Soft Rock Songs while carrying deep personal meaning for the singer.

The melodic pop-rock single was among the enduring soft rock classics featured on Amazon Music’s curated playlist, where it ranked No. 5, while Toto’s “Africa” claimed the No. 1 spot.

Moreover, its decades-long place in music history also earned “Tears in Heaven” a spot at No. 26 on Ultimate Classic Rock’s Top 40 Soft Rock Songs.

Before captivating listeners with its timeless appeal, this Clapton song was written for the soundtrack of the 1991 crime movie Rush.

Along with legendary, Oscar-winning American lyricist Will Jennings, who co-wrote the track, “Tears in Heaven” became Clapton’s emotional outlet as he grieved the tragic death of his young son, Conor.

Eric Clapton performs on stage playing acoustic guitar at the Royal Albert Hall, London, 1998.

“Eric and I were engaged to write a song for a movie called Rush,” Jennings told Songfacts. “We wrote a song called ‘Help Me Up’ for the end of the movie… then Eric saw another place in the movie for a song and he said to me, ‘I want to write a song about my boy.’”​

The passing of his four-year-old son, Conor, who died after falling from a high-rise apartment window, inspired the deeply personal song.

“Eric had the first verse of the song written, which, to me, is all the song, but he wanted me to write the rest of the verse lines and the release (‘Time can bring you down, time can bend your knees…’), even though I told him that it was so personal he should write everything himself,” the lyricist continued. Adding, “He told me that he had admired the work I did with Steve Winwood and finally there was nothing else but to do as he requested, despite the sensitivity of the subject. This is a song so personal and so sad that it is unique in my experience of writing songs.”

At the time, the single, which was originally featured on the soundtrack to the film Rush in 1991, with the soundtrack album released in January 1992.

The song later gained wider recognition after Clapton performed it on MTV Unplugged.

He was able to turn the deeply personal tribute into one of his most recognized recordings and held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart for 13 weeks while reaching No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Adding to its list of accolades, “Tears in Heaven” earned Clapton and Jennings three major wins at the 35th Annual Grammy Awards. These included Song of the Year,  Record of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

The wind wasn’t messing around ahead of Sunday’s Tennessee Titans-New York Giants game.

As a powerful nor’easter brought heavy rain and strong winds to the New York and New Jersey area, four port-a-potties were caught on camera being pushed across the parking lot at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.

Sports Illustrated shared video of the unusual scene on social media Sunday, showing the portable toilets being blown across the lot as fans arrived for the Week 3 matchup under an ominous grey sky.

View this post on Instagram

The flying bathrooms offered a particularly memorable preview of the weather conditions fans could anticipate inside the stadium, where the Giants were set to host the Titans at 1 p.m. EST.

The National Weather Service forecast northeast winds of 16 to 23 mph in the area, with gusts reaching as high as 40 mph. Rain was also expected throughout the afternoon.

The weather had already been a major storyline leading into the matchup, with both teams preparing for conditions that could affect the game. The Titans were traveling to New Jersey for their first road game of the regular season, while the Giants were preparing for Jameis Winston to make his first start after starting quarterback Jaxson Dart suffered a season-ending knee injury.

MetLife Stadium, which is home to the Giants and New York Jets, is an open-air venue, meaning players and fans will have little protection from the elements. And if the sight of four portable toilets making their way across the parking lot was any indication, the wind was already making its presence known before kickoff.

The Giants enter Sunday’s game with a 1-1 record, while the Titans are looking for their first win of the season at 0-2.

Long before Hershey’s name was synonymous with chocolate bars, Milton Hershey was in the caramel business. He ran the Lancaster Caramel Company for years, with caramel helping him build his fortune and eventually expand into chocolate manufacturing.

More than a century later, the company is bringing back a piece of that history with Milton Hershey’s Caramels, based on his 1894 recipe. 

The recipe includes sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, butter and brown sugar, along with other ingredients. These are soft and chewy, rather than the firmer caramels you usually find in the candy aisle.

Each bag runs 12 ounces and holds roughly 30 pieces, individually wrapped. That makes them practical for portioning out into a candy dish, a kid’s lunch box or a bowl for guests without creating a sticky mess.

Reviews posted directly on Hershey’s website have been positive so far. One customer wrote, “Milton Hershey Caramel is a delicious treat for anyone who loves that classic chocolate-and-caramel combination.” 

Another raved, “I bought three packages. Shared with family and friends. Almost all gone. Loved by all.” 

A third shopper had good things to say about the caramels, especially the taste and price.

“They are candies with a creamy texture and great flavor, offering excellent quality at a great price,” they wrote. “They taste good, and I like keeping them on my coffee table as a snack.” 

If you’re looking to do more with them than eat them right from the bag, they hold up well in fall baking. A few unwrapped caramels and a splash of cream are all you need to make a smooth sauce for drizzling over ice cream, cupcakes or dipping fruit.

They also work well pressed into the center of a raw cookie dough ball before baking, giving you a gooey caramel center once it comes out of the oven.

For now, Milton Hershey’s Caramels are only sold through Hershey’s Chocolate World locations and the brand’s online store. 

There’s no announcement yet on whether the product will expand into regular grocery store distribution, so if you want to try them, ordering online or visiting Chocolate World directly are the only options at the moment.

Jeff Ross is looking back on a special memory with three comedy legends who are no longer with us.

The 61-year-old comedian shared an old photo on Saturday, September 26, of himself having dinner with Bob Saget, Norm Macdonald, and Gilbert Gottfried, all three of whom died within an eight-month period between 2021 and 2022.

“I MISS THESE GUYS. They all passed away within 8 months of each other,” Ross captioned the throwback, adding that the photo is still hanging in their booth at Jones Hollywood.

But amid the touching reactions to seeing the four friends together again, fans and fellow comedians couldn’t help but notice something else about the old photo—Ross still had hair (and a lot of it).

“Your hair passed away within 8 months too,” comedian Ron Funches wrote in the comments of the Instagram post.

“The sad reality is that all these guys look better than Jeff Ross does today. ❤️,” Dane Cook responded.

“beautiful post Jeff, i hope you take solace in the fact that your hair is also looking down on you right now 🙏❤️,” Goose Wayne commented.

A fourth fan joked, “The guy on the right, was he the one married Selena Gomez?” comparing Ross’s hairstyle to Benny Blanco.

The exact date of the photo isn’t clear, though Gottfried previously shared some of its backstory. He explained that the group went to dinner after he appeared as a guest on Macdonald’s show and remembered that “the laughs just continued nonstop.”

Jeff Ross lost three close friends in eight months

Macdonald was the first of the group to die, passing away at 61 on September 14, 2021, following a private nine-year battle with cancer. Saget died unexpectedly at 65 on January 9, 2022, after suffering accidental head trauma. Gottfried followed on April 12, 2022, dying at 67 after battling a rare illness.

Their deaths hit Ross particularly hard. He has described the three comedians as close friends and has incorporated stories about them into his one-man show, Take a Banana for the Ride.

Ross pointed fans toward the Netflix version of the special in his latest post, writing in the caption, “If you wanna hear my tribute to these three legends then watch ‘take a banana for the ride’ now on Netflix 🍌”

In the 1970s, Todd Rundgren established himself as one of rock music’s great experimenters, building a career as a singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer while working with everyone from Meat Loaf to The Band.

More than five decades later, the 78-year-old musician has some strong opinions about where popular music has gone since then, particularly when it comes to Taylor Swift.

In a new interview with Vulture, Rundgren was reminded that when he produced Meat Loaf’s hugely successful 1977 album Bat Out of Hell, he once said he approached the project partly as a parody of Bruce Springsteen.

Asked which artist he would target if he made an album with that same intention in 2026, Rundgren didn’t hesitate.

“Taylor Swift, of course,” he said. “There’s an argument to be made that she ruined music.”

Rundgren then went considerably further.

“It’s an understandable phenomenon,” he continued. “It’s just that, to me, Taylor Swift is the apotheosis of mediocrity.”

The “Hello It’s Me” singer went on to argue that the rise of female pop stars can be traced in part to a shift that occurred in the 1990s, when he believes boys began spending more of their disposable income on video games rather than music.

“The biggest artists in the world are female artists at this point, and that’s because of video games,” Rundgren said.

He suggested that the music industry responded by focusing more heavily on young female consumers, citing Swift, Lady Gaga and P!nk among the artists who emerged in the decades that followed.

But Rundgren drew a sharp distinction between Gaga and Swift.

“Lady Gaga, she’s a real musician,” he said, pointing to her abilities as a piano player. Of Swift, however, Rundgren declared, “She doesn’t do anything particularly great except grow hair.”

He continued by criticizing Swift as a singer, songwriter and dancer, although he acknowledged the enormous cultural connection she has built with generations of women.

“She’s a role model for what was a very young generation of women, and now for those women’s daughters as well,” Rundgren said, noting that mothers and daughters now attend Swift’s concerts together.

Rundgren’s assessment of Swift’s songwriting comes in the same year she made history for it. In January, the Songwriters Hall of Fame announced Swift as a member of its Class of 2026, making the 36-year-old the youngest inductee in the organization’s history by more than a decade. Swift became eligible 20 years after the commercial release of her debut single, “Tim McGraw,” and was elected in her first year of eligibility.

Earlier in the interview, Rundgren discussed the way younger listeners are increasingly discovering music made decades before they were born. He said he now sees second- and even third-generation fans at his own concerts, including people whose parents or grandparents first introduced them to his music.

“There’s a percentage of people in any particular generation who just get tired of listening to what everybody’s listening to and want to find something different,” he explained. “You can’t travel into the future, so you go to the past.”

When a quirky, self-deprecating modern rock tune written by a struggling video store clerk began climbing the Billboard charts in 1993, no one was more surprised than Beck Hansen. Ready to quit music after a failed attempt to make it as a singer in New York drove him back home to L.A., the 22-year-old was barely scraping by at his minimum wage job.

“I was living in a shed behind a house with a bunch of rats, next to an alley downtown,” he told Rolling Stone in 1994, amid his meteoric rise to fame. “I had zero money and zero possibilities. I was working in a video store doing things like alphabetizing the pornography section for minimum wage.”

But when a music exec, Tom Rothrock, heard the struggling musician play at the L.A. club Jabberjaw, he thought the gritty young singer, who just went by the name Beck onstage, might be a good fit for his upstart music label, Bong Load Custom Records. According to Far Out Magazine, Beck told Rothrock of his unlikely love of hip-hop music, so the exec sent him to collaborate with Carl Stephenson, a record producer for Rap-A-Lot Records.

While trying to write a song at Stephenson’s home studio in 1991, Beck was so embarrassed by his attempts to rap that he jokingly started singing the words, “I’m a loser baby, so why don’t you kill me?” Inspired to follow that thread, he and Stephenson wrote and produced Loser in just six hours, experimenting with an idea Beck had been eager to try for years: blending a “Delta blues slide guitar over a hip-hop rhythm,” he told Mix with the Masters in 2026.

Neither Beck or Stephenson expected much to come from it, but when Bong Load released Loser in March 1993, it quickly started gaining traction—so much so that the label couldn’t keep up with demand.

Beck Wasn’t Happy That Loser Became an Anthem for ‘Slackers’

Beck signed with Geffen’s DGC Records, which re-released Loser in January 1994 as part of his debut album, Mellow Gold. Within weeks, the song hit No. 1 on Billboard‘s Modern Rock chart and would go on to be a Top 10 hit on Billboard‘s Hot 100, catapulting him to superstardom.

Though he could finally stop living among the rats, Beck didn’t love that Loser became an anthem for “slackers.” He told Rolling Stone that year, “I was like, ‘Slacker my ass.’ I mean, I never had any slack. I was working a $4-an-hour job trying to stay alive. I mean, that slacker kind of stuff is for people who have the time to be depressed about everything.”

“I thought of Loser as this fluke that I’d done, messing around at a guy’s house in 1991,” he told Pitchfork in 2011, adding, “It was disturbing to me that an idea or a song could become something so different from what you originally intended. It’s like if a friend took a stupid picture of you at a party on their phone, and the next thing you knew, it was on every billboard.”

Beck’s first single launched a stellar career for the innovative musician. More than three decades and eight Grammys later, Loser remains his biggest hit, considered one of the biggest alternative songs of all time.

Don’t hold your breath for an *NSYNC reunion tour. 

Joey Fatone made his feelings pretty clear in a recent interview, saying, “Probably not, flat out.”

Fatone said the topic did come up when he and his former bandmates caught up with one another, but the conversation never got past a gut check. “We just said, ‘Hey, do we see anything happening in a couple of years of *NSYNC?'” he recalled, per OK! magazine. “And that was a no.”

According to Fatone, nobody brought up setlists, tour dates, or anything resembling a real plan. “It was literally the five of us going, ‘How’s everybody doing?'” he said.

Fatone made the comments while promoting his docuseries, Boy Band Confidential, and he didn’t sound convinced that all five members are even on the same page about wanting to perform together again. 

“So do I see anything happening in the next two to four years? Probably not. Flat out,” he said. “Finally got an answer.”

That doesn’t mean the door is completely shut. *NSYNC came together in 1995 and went on indefinite hiatus in 2002.

Look at this throwback from 1998 of @*NSYNC 😱🖤 forever my favorites!! Take me back to the #90s #nsync #nostalgia #nostalgic #90sthrowback @Lance Bass @Joey Fatone @JC Chasez @Chris Kirkpatrick @Justin Timberlake

The group has reunited a few times since then, including a brief performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards and another reunion in 2023. A full tour, though, still isn’t in the picture.

Fatone’s bandmate Justin Timberlake has had a tougher run in the headlines over the past few years. He was arrested for driving while intoxicated in Sag Harbor, New York, in June 2024, and the arrest quickly went viral online. 

Body camera footage captured him telling officers he was “on a world tour” during the stop. A friend at the scene then jokingly tried to win over police by bringing up his hits, asking, “Can you guys please just do me a favor ’cause you loved ‘Bye Bye Bye’ or ‘S***back?’ Do me one favor!”

Timberlake had fought to keep the footage sealed, but lost that legal battle before it was made public.

Saturday Night Live UK host Amelia Dimoldenberg did not hold back with her attack on Ed Sheeran during her opening monologue on Saturday, September 26.

“I’m incredibly privileged to have done so many interviews with people like Idris Elba, Cher and even a world-famous red-headed puppet with a hand up his ass telling him what to say,” Dimoldenberg—who hosts Chicken Shop Date — said as an image of Elmo flashed on screen. “No, the other one.”

Of course, the reality star’s swipe was a reference to the drama surrounding Sheeran’s Loop Tour.

Earlier this month, rapper Macklemore addressed the crowd at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium with a “Free Palestine” speech while opening for the “Shape of You” artist.

Days later, it was revealed that Robert Kraft — the owner of the New England Patriots and Gillette Stadium — took issue with Macklemore’s message and pressured Sheeran to drop him from the tour.

“Kraft had rallied some of the other stadium owners and collectively they gave him an ultimatum: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you will not be allowed to play in our venues,” Macklemore shared on September 14.

After the “Thrift Shop” artist was dropped, Sheeran’s other openers, Finneas, Aaron Rowe, Beoga, and Lukas Graham, stepped away in solidarity with Macklemore and his message. Sheeran’s backup band also quit, leaving the “Thinking Out Loud” singer to tour solo.

Sheeran returned to the stage for his first solo show at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on September 19. His subsequent shows, scheduled for September 25 and 26 at Kraft’s Massachusetts stadium, were canceled due to weather.

He’s currently scheduled to perform at Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on October 3.

It only took 21 years, but Delilah has finally responded to the Plain White T’s.

The famous rockers teamed up with singer LØLØ for a new spin on their hit “Hey There Delilah,” turning the famously one-sided love song into a duet during a recent live performance.

Frontman Tom Higgenson began with the familiar opening verse before LØLØ stepped in as Delilah with a response of her own.

The lyrics went like this:

“Hey it’s Delilah, I’ve got so much left to say
But when I listen to this song you wrote, you take my breath away and most of all
Even more in love with you I fall, It’s all your fault”

The pair then came together for the song’s instantly recognizable “Oh, it’s what you do to me” refrain.

A post shared by LØLØ 💘 (@lolo)

While fans may just be discovering the verse, LØLØ actually wrote her response, called “Hey It’s Delilah,” back in 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown and went viral after sharing it on TikTok. Six years later, she finally got the chance to sing it alongside the band.

“21 years later and we finally get a reply from Delilah 🥹🥹🥹 the coolest thing to ever happen to me !!” LØLØ captioned a video of the collaboration.

Fans were feeling nostalgic in the comments, with many not believing it’s been that long since the song was released.

“Wtf you mean 21 years?!?!?! 😮😮😮😮,” one person wrote.

A second commented, “They don’t make music like this anymore❤️‍🩹.”

“This is exactly how i imagined Delilah would sound,” another shared.

A fourth replied, “Wow…the closure we needed.🤟🏽😭❤️.”

The story behind ‘Hey There Delilah’

Higgenson wrote “Hey There Delilah” after meeting runner Delilah DiCrescenzo, although the two were never actually a couple. The track first appeared on Plain White T’s’ 2005 album All That We Needed before becoming a massive mainstream hit.

It eventually spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earned two Grammy nominations.

As for Plain White T’s, the Illinois band continues to perform and release music more than two decades into its career.

Barry Williams revealed he still owns one of the most memorable props from his years on The Brady Bunch. The actor, who played Greg Brady on the ABC sitcom from 1969 to 1974, appeared at RetroCon in Oaks, PA, in September 2026. During a fan Q&A panel, he was asked if there was anything in particular from the show that he wished he had taken from the set when the series wrapped.

Williams didn’t miss a beat, replying that he actually did take home the one thing he wanted from the set of the classic comedy series.

“The tiki,” Williams, 71, said.

The actor explained that when he later produced a TV movie, he found the prop from the famous Brady Bunch Hawaii episodes.

“When they did the movie, shortly after that I produced Growing Up Brady into a TV movie,” he said. “And I went to where the props were. And I dug through them and found it. And I have it.”

In 1972, a three-part story arc kicked off the fourth season of The Brady Bunch. In the episodes, the TV family traveled to Hawaii, where they fell under the curse of a taboo tiki idol.

One of the biggest scares came when Williams’ Greg had a dangerous wipeout during a surfing contest. The Brady brothers ultimately returned the tiki to its home at a Hawaii burial ground.

RELATED: 54 Years Ago, ‘The Brady Bunch’ Went to Hawaii and the Cast Had Some Real-Life Close Calls

Williams previously opened up about the tiki idol during an appearance on Oprah: Where Are They Now?

“The Brady Bunch family went to Hawaii and while we were there Bobby (Mike Lookinland) found a tiki in the ancient ruins of a Hawaiian cemetery, and you’re not supposed to move anything like that,” he shared. “Well, he brought it home, and after he brought it back to the hotel bad luck befell almost all of the Bradys. But fortunately we returned the tiki to its rightful place and all of the bad luck went away.“

“And Paramount Studios was nice enough to present me with the tiki,” Williams added. “I keep waiting for it to play music. It doesn’t, and I’m convinced that now it brings me good luck. I keep telling myself that. I’m not sure, but I’m still very careful when I wear it. But I wear it.”

More than 50 years after filming the Hawaii episodes, Williams sells signed tiki replicas on his eBay page, where he describes them as “Greg’s God Luck Tikis.” He also brings them to fan events such as RetroCon.

Finding your signature scent isn’t always easy. But when you eventually discover a perfume that feels like home, it’s particularly gratifying. You know the perfumes we’re talking about: the ones that instantly make passersby ask, “What scent are you wearing?”

If you’re still on the hunt for a fragrance that you’re excited to show off, we spoke to a perfume pro and asked her to share 11 perfumes women over 60 get the most compliments on.

We chatted with Funmi Monet, founder of the fragrance house Influxious and an ISIPCA-certified expert in French perfumery, and tasked her with explaining how skin chemistry changes with age and how that affects fragrance wear.

Monet compiled a list of compliment-getting perfumes for older women, including long lasting fragrance for mature skin and subtle everyday perfumes for seniors. The fragrance expert also weighs in on how to find the best fragrance notes for women over 60 and offers up some tips for applying perfume for maximum longevity.

Whether you’re on the hunt for a date night perfume or you’re searching for a woody, musk or gourmand fragrance, Monet’s list includes a variety of options for anyone looking for their signature scent over 60.

How Skin Chemistry Changes After 60

Over time, our skin naturally becomes drier and produces less oil. Per Monet, this can affect how fragrance performs.

“Perfume tends to hold onto moisturized skin better, so someone with drier skin may notice that certain fragrances don’t last as long or project as strongly as they once did. That said, everyone’s skin chemistry is different, and age is only one factor. Your skincare routine, environment and even the fragrance itself can affect performance,” she says.

For this reason, the perfume pro suggests testing fragrance on your skin before buying it.

“A blotter can tell you whether you like a perfume, but your skin tells you how that perfume is actually going to wear on you,” she explains.

What Fragrance Notes, Families and Concentrations Work Best on Mature Skin?

Certain skincare formulations work better on your skin depending on your age, but Monet says fragrance notes, families and concentrations are a lot more versatile.

“You don’t age out of fragrance families. If you love sweet gourmands, juicy fruits or sexy florals, there is absolutely no birthday where you suddenly have to start wearing powdery rose perfume. If longevity is the goal, richer notes like woods, amber, vanilla, resins, musk and patchouli tend to have more staying power than very light citrus or airy compositions,” she explains.

Monet notes that eau de parfums, parfums and extraits can offer “more longevity,” but says concentration isn’t everything.

“The construction of the fragrance matters too. My advice is always to start with what you actually enjoy wearing and then find a fragrance within that category that gives you the performance you’re looking for,” she tells Parade.

How To Apply Perfume for Maximum Longevity and Diffusion After 60

After many years of working at a fragrance counter and developing her own fragrance brand, Monet has developed a few pro tricks for applying perfume for maximum longevity and diffusion:

• Moisturize first: “Fragrance loves hydrated skin, so applying an unscented lotion or body cream before your perfume can help it last longer. If you want to take it a step further, layer with a body product that complements your fragrance,” she says.
• Spray in multiple areas: “I spray my neck, behind my shoulders and other pulse points to create more of a scent bubble. And please don’t rub your wrists together! Just spray and let the fragrance dry naturally,” she says.
• Spray your clothes: “Fabric often holds fragrance longer than skin, so I’ll lightly mist my clothing when I want my perfume to stay with me throughout the day. Just be careful with delicate fabrics that could stain,” she says.

Marcia Cross hasn’t changed one bit in the 12 years since Desperate Housewives went off the air.

The beloved redhead, 64, rose to stardom on soap operas before scoring plum roles on Knots Landing and Melrose Place. But it was her role as perfectionist Bree Van de Kamp in the ABC television series Desperate Housewives that made her a household name in the TV realm. While the show, which also starred Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria, Felicity Huffman, and Nicolette Sheridan, went off the air in 2012 after 180 episodes, Cross is doing better than ever. In fact, she hasn’t changed one bit since her iconic role on the hit show. The star made a rare red carpet appearance at the Farrah Fawcett Foundation 2026 Tex-Mex Fiesta at The Rustic in Dallas, Texas, and looked absolutely ageless as she posed for a few photos.

What Has Marcia Cross Done Since Desperate Housewives?

Cross has had good roles on shows like Quantico, You, and Monarch since her time on Desperate Housewives concluded. But she’s also shared a more personal story: In 2018, she revealed that she was in remission from anal cancer. Dedicated to using her platform to raise awareness for the disease, the mother of two advocates for the HPV vaccine, since her cancer was likely caused by HPV.

Now in remission, Cross praised her friends who helped her get through the experience.

“What I had was a bevy of girlfriends. I called them my ‘anal angels,’” she told CBS This Morning. “You know, I kept saying, ‘If this doesn’t kill me, it’s like the best thing that could have ever happened.’ Because the experience of being loved like that — it blew my mind.”

Back in June, Deadline announced the next project for Cross. Exit Right, also starring Susan Sarandon and William H. Macy, just wrapped filming this summer. The story noted that the film is “a love story of a husband and wife who when faced with difficult health news, trade their house for an open road — turning their days into the adventure they never knew they needed.”

One month after the death of beloved country music icon Dolly Parton, her longtime friend and occasional collaborator Pat Benatar dedicated a performance of “Heartbreaker” to the late star.

“Our last project that we did together was this song together as a whole combo,” Benatar, 73, said before performing the 1979 hit during the second night of the One805LIVE! event at Kevin Costner’s oceanfront estate on Saturday, September 26, according to People. Benatar dedicated the song to her “sweet friend”.

Benatar, who re-imagined the beloved hit with Parton as a duet for Parton’s 2023 Rockstar album, added, “This is the song that started it all.”

Parton died at the age of 80 on August 25, as her family announced at the time. It was later revealed that the “9 to 5” artist died after a brief and private battle with cancer.

The Steel Magnolias actress released “Heartbreaker” as part of her final solo album, Rockstar, in November 2023.

In addition to her collaboration with Benatar, Parton worked with Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Brandi Carlile and more rock stars on the project.

“I just sent them a love note through their managers,” she told NPR at the time, of how she got such major stars to agree to work with her. “And all the people I reached out to said, ‘Yes, we’d love to,’ and I was very honored and very proud and very humbled by that.”

The “Love Is a Battlefield” artist told ABC News she was “happy to have finally done something” with Parton.

“It doesn’t matter what avenue, which genre of music she chose to do, she always rocked at what she did,” she added. “She walked so we could fly. That’s where it starts, before us, because that was her alone by herself just figuring it out and just doing it.”

Both Parton and Benatar were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in November 2022.

“A sad day for everyone who knew and loved Dolly. Which is pretty much everybody. A dear friend, an Earth Angel and an inimitable soul who also wrote songs and sang,” Benatar and husband Neil Giraldo shared following Parton’s death. “The world will be a little less bright today, but Heaven will be rockin’. Rest in Peace.”

“All My Love” was a 1950 song released by Patti Page. It spent 22 weeks on the Billboard charts and rose all the way to number one. The song was her first of many number-one hits throughout her career.

To this day, there are still many fans of this song, and people who are just discovering it. As one listener on YouTube said, “Excellent performance from the pretty and extremely talented singer, actress, dancer, entertainer and performer Patti Page. I thought I heard all of Patti Page’s songs! This is the first time I ever heard this song!”

Although Page had an immense amount of success as a singer, in an interview with Gary James, she revealed that she never actually wanted to be in the industry. “I wanted to be an artist,” she said. “I painted. I drew. I sketched. I did all these things. I took art my senior year in high school. I had all my credits, so I just spent four hours in art classes. I won a scholarship to the University of Tulsa. It wasn’t huge and my folks were very poor, but I could’ve gone with my working because I was working by that time. It just seemed that the singing was becoming more important in Tulsa. I had the show my last three years in Tulsa, and I started doing more and more and more. On weekends, I would go out with little Country bands or a dance band. It didn’t really matter.”

She also spoke about appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show the same night as The Beatles. “It was unbelievable,” she said. “I don’t think anybody heard anybody else on the show. You couldn’t get out of the theatre. The girls were hundreds deep outside the stage door. I still don’t know how they got them out. But it was electrifying. It was a little amazing because we didn’t quite know what was happening. The last time any of us had heard anything like that was with Elvis. Before that, Frank Sinatra.”

Page had several other hit songs throughout her career, including “Tennessee Waltz,” “I Went to Your Wedding,” and the novelty song “(How Much Is) That Doggie in the Window?” She was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in 1997. She was also posthumously honored with a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award in 2013.

Page died in 2013 at the age of 85.

Justin Cooper played Max Reede in the 1997 comedy, Liar Liar, which he starred in along with Jim Carrey. Recently, he spoke about his decision to leave Hollywood on the “The Not So Little Rascals” podcast.

“It was my first time going to public school,” Cooper explained. “I started going through puberty. I was in an awkward stage, and I would go on auditions, but I wasn’t booking things as often as I used to. Then it got to the point where my mom was like, ‘Oh, you got an audition today?’ And I’d be like, ‘Ugh.’“

He continued, “We’d sit in the car for 45, 50 minutes to get out there, and then I gotta do this, and then I gotta go home and start my homework, and I want to just go home right now and talk to girls on AIM. After a while of me just being like, ‘Ugh, I got another audition,’ my mom was like, ‘Look, if you don’t want to do it anymore, you don’t have to do it.’”

Even though Cooper was no longer interested in acting, he revealed that he was also nervous to attend public school. “I was scared s—less going to public school,” he said. “My whole life, I had a uniform that I had to wear to school, and now it’s like I have to decide on clothes and look cool and who am I going to sit with.”

He continued, “When I got there, frankly, a lot of the girls wanted to talk to me just because they knew who I was. There were guys that were like, screw this guy. Then also, people just automatically assume without ever talking to you or having any interaction with you, that you’re stuck up because you were in a movie.” He added, “It’s ironic that they assumed that I thought I was better than everybody else, and meanwhile I’m just trying to blend in.”

Cooper also appeared in All About Us, Brother’s Keeper, and General Hospital. His most recent appearance was in The Practice in 2003.

“Love the design and the feel,” wrote one fan in a five-star review on IKEA.com. “I’ve always been an I-Spy book lover, and when I saw this duvet, I fell in love. The little scenes this duvet portrays is adorable. Chickens running about, koi pond, a women harvesting fruits from a tree. I wanted a cotton/lyocell mix l because the lyocell makes it feel cooler rather than if it was just 100 percent cotton. Definitely a buy it for life item. The only thing I would change is the plastic buttons, I wish they were fabric ties instead, or just stronger buttons. I haven’t had any issues yet, but I’m worried over time the buttons may become an issue. Nonetheless, I would recommend.”
