No Doubt just did a photo shoot to promote their upcoming 18-show residency at The Sphere, and Gwen Stefani can't stop sharing behind-the-scenes sneak peeks.

It started a few days ago when Stefani dropped a handful of photos from the shoot where she was decked out in an orange cropped Adidas tracksuit and fishnets, declaring that she's "feelin hella good."

Now, she's done it again, this time sharing a video from the same shoot, calling it a "from our sphere first look reveal." Technically, it would be the second or even the third look at Stefani's sexy tracksuit outfit that has fans going gaga. After all, the official No Doubt Instagram page also shared a photo from the shoot, but theirs showed all the band members in matching tracksuits with hers just a bit more revealing than the guys' outfits.

In the latest video, shared on Tuesday, Mar. 24, Stefani is all smiles as she lifts one fishnetted leg until her patent leather pump is flat against the wall behind her. Her bleached blonde hair is pulled up tight into a vertical space bun.

Her makeup is perfectly set with shimmery glam eyeshadow and long black lashes, soft rosy cheeks, and a neutral pink pout that gives the pop-ska singer a youthful, ageless glow.

The comments section exploded as Stefani's fans exclaimed how "obsessed" they are, with one calling her the "queen of cool."

Based on all the fire and heart emojis, it's safe to say Stefani's look is a big hit. Others talked about the song she used for the video. "Stricken" is from No Doubt's independent album, The Beacon Street Collection, an album they released just seven months before Tragic Kingdom put the band on the map.

Costco shoppers know that if they spot something in the bakery section that looks promising and appetizing, it’s best to grab it before it disappears. 

And the latest find, a returning favorite, has been generating plenty of buzz, with many shoppers calling it a must-buy and a must-try.

The warehouse retail giant, known for an incredible rotating bakery lineup, has officially brought back Kirkland's Blueberry Carmelized Cheesecake Croissant.

Honestly, I’m convinced to buy it simply because of the name.

Nothing says summer quite like blueberry and cheesecake. And wrapped up in a croissant, and then caramelized? You simply can’t go wrong. 

And there’s a reason that the returning baked good has gone viral, popping up all over shoppers’ social media timelines. 

It sounds like something you’d immediately grab if spotted at the farmer’s market, but in this case, since it’s available at Costco, there’s more than just one, so you can indulge on more than one occasion—or share with loved ones, if you’re feeling generous. 

The Instagram account Costco New Deals put the baked good return on our radar, writing, “Blueberry caramelized cheesecake croissants are back."

While they’re surely enjoyable all on their own, the account gave a tip that might make the experience even better, writing, “Air fry them for a few minutes 10/10 or add them to a waffle maker.”

Just the versatility alone is enough to convince us to grab a pack. 

But then there’s the price—$12.99 for six generously sized croissants. Depending on your location, prices may vary, but still, it’s roughly about $2 per croissant. 

And they’re packed with flavor. There’s obviously the blueberries and cheesecake filling, but they also boast a butter streusel, butter croissant dough and a caramelized bottom for a melt-in-your mouth exprience.

The account e40 threw them in the air fryer with some Kerrygold butter, noting that the caramelized bottom looked like a glazed donut. And his verdict? Just as expected, he noted it’s “hella good.”

“You know it’s 🔥 when you can barley get the words out lol😂” one commented on his reaction, as another chimed in, “These were amazing! !!

View this post on Instagram

After seeing the croissants go viral, many put them to the test, and not a single person was disappointed, with the only complaint being that they may be a tad too sweet for some.

Without heating it up, it was “pretty good,” but Chow Down Detroit was in heaven once he took a bite of it warmed up, stopping to savor the taste for a minute before adding, “That’s amazing.”

He noted that warmd up you get a “nice flaky crust,” while inside it remains “creamy without being too sweet.”

The Kirkland goodie passed the taste-test in nearly every video, as content creators channeled their inner DWTS judges and assigned all 9s and 10s. 

Reddit even weighed in on the “so good” new dessert item, with one writing, These things are stupidly delicious and I have to walk past them in a rush so they don’t hop into my cart.”

“They're so good that I vowed to never buy another pack again because I don't trust myself not to gain 100 lbs if I keep them in the house,” someone else wrote, with a third complimenting, “These are the best bakery item made from a store that I have ever had.”

While many pointed out that these were sold out whenever they stepped foot in a Costco, so truly, if you see them available, act fast.

Rocky, the ultimate underdog tale, was still punching on this day in 1977.

Directed by The Karate Kid’s John G. Avildse, the film was released on Dec. 3, 1976, and endured at movie theaters for multiple months. Beyond scoring highest-grossing film for the year it was released, the boxing classic starring its writer, Sylvester Stallone, spent eight weeks either at or near the top of the box office, breaking records and earning more than $117 million in North America alone.

March 24 begins the film’s last week at the top, before being booted by Airport ’77, a disaster flick starring Jack Lemmon and Lee Grant. Four days later, however, the film was back on top. 

From Oscar Glory to Pop Phenomenon

On March 28, 1977, the Italian Stallion’s instant classic went on to dominate the 49th Academy Awards, winning three Oscars out of 10 nominations. Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Film Editing all went to the knockout film. However, Stallone, who was in the running for Best Actor, lost to Peter Finch, who won posthumously for his role as Howard Beale in the stunner Network.

About a small-time Philly boxer who goes round for round with the world heavyweight champion, Rocky is more than just a sports film. It’s a testament to grit, determination, and chasing the impossible dream. Having given the world iconic lines like “Yo, Adrian! I did it!” and one of cinema’s most legendary runs up the set of stone steps leading to the Philadelphia Museum of Art — which are now named the Rocky Steps, by the way — the film lives on in pop culture. Not to mention, it’s also spawned one of the most enduring film franchises that has ballooned to include the Apollo Creed universe. 

From Rocky to Rambo and Beyond

The film marked Stallone’s debut as a feature screenwriter. Beyond Rocky and its sequels, he’s brought plenty of action to screens big and small, writing for Rambo, The Expendables, and Paramount’s Tulsa King.

Rocky is available to rent or buy on Prime Video.

Daily exercise and healthy living are prioritized now more than ever before—and for good reason.

After all, keeping your body strong and healthy is essential in order to stay active, independent and live life to its fullest for hopefully many years to come. There is much research-backed information available about strength training and the importance of rebuilding muscle, since you naturally lose it with age. But while so many individuals plan their workouts with precision, get in daily steps to maintain a cardio routine and focus intently on diet and nutrition, far fewer people dedicate the same thought and care to keeping their brain healthy.

Your brain is really the “control central” for your entire body. It influences your movements, decisions, memory and cognitive function. It deserves extra tender loving care, don’t you agree? Your brain can benefit greatly from additional healthy habits—simple tweaks that wouldn’t even call for drastic lifestyle changes. There are small intentional things you can do each day to boost your mental well-being. Experts recommend simple things that may surprise you—like staying social, getting sufficient sleep and lowering stress. These are all productive ways to support brain longevity.

For a better understanding of the things that “mindfully matter,” so to speak, we chatted with Dr. Rab Nawaz Khan, MD, a board-certified neurologist with over 10 years of clinical experience, who practices as a Consultant Neurologist at MyMSTeam. He shares one habit he personally avoids to keep his brain in top shape and foster long-term cognitive wellness.

The One Habit a Neurologist Avoids To Promote Brain Longevity

According to Dr. Khan, sleep is essential and should be prioritized accordingly. That said, so many of us are guilty of one common habit—and it’s something Dr. Khan avoids at all costs.

“The one habit I avoid is stealing sleep by staying up late on my phone or laptop, especially in bed,” Dr. Khan explains. “People think of it as harmless downtime, but it is often the start of chronic sleep debt. Sleep is when the brain stabilizes memories, resets stress circuits and runs its overnight cleanup systems. When you cut sleep, you may still function, but the cost accumulates quietly over years.”

Here’s What Happens When You Regularly Engage in This Habit

Not getting enough sleep—or experiencing interrupted sleep—keeps your brain in high alert mode, fragmenting essential deep and REM sleep. According to Dr. Khan, deep sleep is majorly linked to immune balance, learning and clearing brain tissue of metabolic waste products.

“Over time, chronic sleep loss is associated with worse attention, slower processing, lower mood stability and higher vascular risk, all of which can push cognitive aging in the wrong direction,” Dr. Khan adds. “It does not mean one late night causes dementia, but a long pattern of poor sleep is a real risk multiplier, especially when paired with high blood pressure, diabetes or untreated sleep apnea.”

Sleep Hygiene Habits a Neurologist Swears By

It’s important to optimize your nighttime routine to promote restful, uninterrupted Z’s. What works for one person may not work for another. For instance, some may find white or green noise soothing, while others enjoy taking a warm bubble bath before slipping into bed. Some individuals favor a firm pillow, while others like theirs soft.

That said, Dr. Khan’s pro tips are absolutely worth trying out. “I prioritize a consistent wake time, because it anchors the body clock more reliably than a perfect bedtime. I aim for a wind-down routine that is boring on purpose: dim light, minimal screens and a predictable transition into sleep,” Dr. Khan tells us. “I also treat movement as nonnegotiable most days, since aerobic fitness supports brain blood flow and sleep quality. Finally, I take snoring and daytime sleepiness seriously, because untreated sleep apnea is one of the most fixable threats to brain health.”

If you were to make only one change, Dr. Khan stresses the importance of keeping your phone outside the bedroom altogether. If you need it in your bedroom, charge it across the room.

“Set a hard screen cutoff 45 to 60 minutes before bed and replace it with one calming cue, like a warm shower, light stretching or a few pages of a book,” Dr. Khan says. “If racing thoughts drive the scrolling, do a two-minute brain dump on paper, then close the notebook. Most people do not need more willpower; they need fewer triggers within arm’s reach.”

Remember that sleep is not a luxury—it’s essential to your overall well-being and brain longevity. If you optimize your sleep habits, you can increase your chances of leading a very long, healthy existence.

Season 18 of Criminal Minds: Evolution was only about halfway through airing when the series was not only given another season, but also began production on Season 19 -- and now we have a release date for the new season.

"The BAU is back on the case!" read an official Instagram post announcing the start of filming. "A new season of Criminal Minds: Evolution has officially started filming. 🎬."

View this post on Instagram

There will be a time jump when we return for Season 19. Showrunner Erica Messer says, "Between Seasons 18 and 19 we’ve stopped everybody. So Season 19 really gets to start fresh. A year has passed story wise and the network is done. A lot of healing has happened in this year away. But there’s still reason to have Elias Voit around."

Here's everything we know to date about Season 19 of Criminal Minds: Evolution, including premiere, cast and guest stars.

Is there a trailer for Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 19?

It's not an official trailer, but here's a first-look clip from Season 19, in which the clock starts ticking for the BAU when three missing persons are reported...uncovering a chilling connection to the past.

It’s hard to say. Gubler was supposed to begin work on his new CBS series Einstein for the 2025-2026 season. But the show was pushed to the 2026-2027, so he may have time to do another guest-star appearance. But the scripts for Season 19, which began filming in May, may already have been written. We’ll have to wait to see if there are any spoilers revealed in this regard.

For a minute, when S.W.A.T. was canceled by CBS, it looked as if there was hope of a return by Moore to reprise his role as FBI profiler Derek Morgan, but then came the news that Sony had greenlit a 10-episode sequel, S.W.A.T. Exiles, so Moore is back to playing Sgt. Hondo Harrelson, rather than returning to CME.

Who are the guest stars for Season 19 of Criminal Minds: Evolution?

The official announcement of guest stars is long, but doesn't include Matthew Grey Gubler or Shemar Moore. It does include: Connor Storrie (Heated Rivalry), Justin Kirk (Angels in America), Yvette Nicole Brown (Community), Clark Gregg (Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D), Paul F. Tompkins (Bojack Horseman), Cress Williams (Black Lightning), Kofi Siriboe (Queen Sugar), Lyndon Smith (Step Sisters), Richard Cabral (Mayans), Jeri Ryan (Star Trek Voyager), Rob Yang (The Menu), Nicholas Gonzalez (The Good Doctor), Inny Clemons (Judging Amy), Nicole Pacent (Westworld), Dash Mihok (Ray Donovan), Joseph Cross (Big Little Lies) and Cara Jade Myers (Killers of the Flower Moon)

What happened in Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 18 finale?

In the penultimate episode of Criminal Minds: Evolution, the Disciple (Jordana Spiro) kidnapped Dr. Ochoa (Aimee Garcia) and Voit after killing the staff at the hospital. Her plan is force Voit into killing someone in hopes that that will trigger him into becoming Sicarius once again.

We initially see how Cyrus (Silas Weir Mitchell) kidnapped Tessa (Spiro) and kept her prisoner which eventually led to her becoming the Disciple. Tessa feels that she and Voit are family since they both suffered abuse by Cyrus and since Voit set her free, she feels bonded to him.

In order to get him to kill someone, she uses Dr. Ochoa as bait. One of her minions is about to put lethal spiders down Dr. Ochoa’s mouth, so Voit kills him.

Then Voit pretends to side with the Disciple, but takes her to task for making his serial killer network public. He comes up with a plan for them to escape, using Dr. Ochoa as the fall guy, but to do so, they need to reach out to the rest of the network. He pretends to kill Dr. Ochoa, and the messages sent to the network reveal their whereabouts to Garcia.

The BAU figures out where the Disciple is holding Voit and they prepare to make entry, but all the entrances are set with IEDs. Garcia is able to block the signal, and the BAU enters.

Voit has a gun and he points it at JJ pretending he is going to shoot her, but she knows better and won’t kill him. They arrest Voit and the Disciple.

Back at the BAU, Voit doesn’t trust himself, so he confesses to all of Sicarius’ crimes. He is sent to a supermax prison and when he is on the bus with the other prisoners he has what is either a hallucination or a fantasy about killing one of the men. Is Sicarius back?

Are there any spoilers for the Criminal Minds: Evolution season 19?

Parade spoke to showrunner Erica Messer about what that final scene in the finale means. Is Sicarius back?

"It’s meant to make us wonder if Sicarius is back," she told us. "I think one of the things that really excited us about exploring this side for Voit was to give Zach that challenge of taking a character who was pretty much irredeemable and making us actually feel for him. And doing that through Aimee Garcia’s character, and Garcia doing aromatherapy with him in this season. He feels like a different person, but he has this crazy set of skills, which could kill somebody. Any way you could imagine he can do it.

"The fact that he’s imagining a scenario in which he would have to kill, because he’s basically going to get attacked on a prison bus, it’s almost like he’s justifying how to use that skill set. Or how to scratch the itch of being a killer.

"Then when we get into Season 19, you’ll get to see that challenge is still there of how do I quiet this beast that’s in here. Because I now have a conscience and it’s wrong to do that."

Also, Season 19 will have a new chapter ahead for JJ, according to Messer. "She’s preparing for Henry to go away to college, and that’ll be a new journey for her. Garcia is having some fun in the dating world, let’s leave it at that. Alvez has a lot going on this year. I feel like as far as emotional journeys if last season was like JJ and Tara, this year it’s Alvez. He has a lot going on that we’ll allude to in the first episode, but it really comes into light episode two and onward."

What is the story for Criminal Minds: Evolution season 19?

As always, the story will follow the BAU as it continues to search for and bring to justice serial killers. Knowing that Voit will be a part of it, it isn't a stretch to say that it will continue to hunt down followers of Sicarius.

Will there be a Criminal Minds: Evolution Season 20?

Yes, the series received its pickup for Season 20 the same day it received the Season 19 release date.

When did Criminal Minds end?

Criminal Minds ended its 15-year run on CBS on Feb. 19, 2020.

Where can I watch episodes of the original Criminal Minds series?

There are several options. Of course, Paramount+ has all 15 seasons as does Hulu.

How can I watch Criminal Minds: Evolution?

Criminal Minds: Evolution streams exclusively on Paramount+.

Fans of Trader Joe's frequently get to know approximately when their favorite seasonal items usually return to the store. In the case of one particular dessert, that often sells out quickly every year, there has been no sign of the product yet this spring. The Lemon Mini Sheet Cake has a passionate fan base, and they are getting antsy that they haven't been able to acquire it yet in 2026.

Trader Joe's mini sheet cakes have become incredibly popular, and the store has released a variety of flavors. Recent additions to the line include the Cookies 'n' Cream version, as well as a Toasted Coconut flavor. Longtime traditional favorites include Dark Chocolate Ganache, Strawberry, Carrot, Pumpkin Spice, Yellow, and Chantilly Cream Vanilla Bean.

Several of those varieties currently show as available products on the Trader Joe's website. Usually, the lemon flavor arrives in stores in mid-March or so. However, this year, it seems that customers haven't spotted them yet.

View this post on Instagram

On March 23, one eager Trader Joe's fan took to Reddit to express their frustration. "If I don't see the lemon sheet cake in stores by the end of the month, Joe is dead to me," they wrote.

Another Reddit user was on board, writing, "Joe's days are numbered. I'm with you. Lemon sheet cake or riot."

"Yes please hurry up and bring back the lemon cake," someone else urged.

One Redditor who noted they work for Trader Joe's and can do a lookup on an internal system shared the latest. They wrote, "April according to the quick item lookup!!!!!!"

An appreciative Trader Joe's fan responded, "We need you to be our inside eyes on this. The subreddit is drafting you. Thank you for your service."

Someone else shared their strategy for when the Lemon Mini Sheet Cakes are in stock. "I get one to eat immediately and a few to freeze. When the strawberry version is released, I combine them for strawberry lemonade cake."

Another Trader Joe's crew member, seemingly, confirmed the lemon flavor will return in April. They added, "Sorry to hear of Joe's passing for you. The rest of us will carry on without you."

At least one person noted they plan to buy extras and freeze what they don't eat right away, which someone else noted was a smart idea.

In 2025, March 11 was when one thread started in the Trader Joe's subreddit with people going wild over the arrival of the Lemon Mini Sheet Cakes.

On the same date in 2025, someone on AllRecipes noted the cake was back and admitted, "I buy two at a time because within 10 minutes, I've practically inhaled one already."

It appears that the beloved Lemon Mini Sheet Cake made its Trader Joe's debut in late March 2023, according to another Reddit post.

The good news is, the Trader Joe's Lemon Mini Sheet Cake is coming back. The bad news is, fans will have to wait a little longer for them to arrive in stores than they'd like.

Finally, here's one popular conspiracy theory we can put to rest. After years of wondering, now we know for sure that The Brady Bunch star Christopher Knight, 68, who famously played Peter Brady, and his younger celebrity lookalike Seth MacFarlane, 52, the creator of Family Guy, are not one and the same. The doppelgängers recently posed together in the renovated Brady home to prove it so.

The hilarious new photos were cross-posted on the @therealchristopherknight and @bradyexperience Instagram pages, the latter which is run by the folks behind the immersive tour inside the original Brady home in Studio City. The inside the home, whose exterior appeared in the TV show's intro, was actually renovated in 2019 to replicate the original interior TV sets. The lookalikes pose on the floating Brady staircase and in the very '70s-era green and orange kitchen.

(Fans, take note: Don't miss the Tiki idol necklace that almost ruined the Brady family's trip to Hawaii back in the day. MacFarlane is wearing it in the shot on the stairs.)

Related: ‘Brady Bunch’ House Declared a Historic Landmark

In a 2013 interview on Parade, MacFarlane talked about his often mistaken identity, saying, “I get a lot of ‘Hey, aren’t you Peter Brady?’” Even back in October 2022, Knight and his on-screen Brady bro, Barry Williams, who played Greg Brady, discussed the Knight-MacFarlane resemblance on their podcast The Real Brady Bros.

The caption for the photos read: "It finally happened! Christopher Knight and Seth MacFarlane were in the same place at the same time… Guess that officially settles it — they are NOT the same person Conspiracies = canceled. Separated at birth 16 years apart!"

Check it out for yourselves—here's the side-by-side photo of Christopher Knight and Seth MacFarlane:

Not convinced? Neither is one commenter who jokingly writes, "We demand a “23 and me” ancestry test. These two are at least distant relatives! 😄"

And, of course, then another commenter has to throw in a new mystery, writing: "Mixed in Donny Osmond and you guys would be triplets!"

Guess this duo's gonna have to head to Harrah's in Las Vegas next to connect with Mr. Osmond, too. Fans need to know the truth.

Admittedly, I'm not the most talented DIYer around, so I have to rely on tiny upgrades to make my home feel cute. What I've found is that sometimes the smallest kitchen fix can make a huge difference. Like, you don't need a full renovation or brand-new cabinets to feel good about the space; you just need some smart little tweaks.

Sometimes it's about function, like making things easier to grab or keeping everything from sliding around. Other times it's purely about the vibe. Because let's be real, opening a cabinet that actually looks neat and put-together just feels good.

What's also pretty spectacular about Duck's shelf liners is that you can get them at CVS, a place you're probably going to anyway. And, if you are an Extra Care Bucks-loving person like myself, you can apply those savings to these super simple shelf liners that spruce up your cabinets so fast. It's just a win all around if you ask me.

Shoppers love this product so much that they head to CVS.com to share their reviews. I don't know about you, but whenever anyone takes their time to review something, I feel like it has to be a standout product.

"I like my drawers and cabinets to stay clean and pretty so I change the liners every four months," says a CVS customer. "I love these liners because of the variety of colors and patterns. They are easy to keep clean and look pretty."

Changing your shelf liners every four months feels like serious dedication, and you should know that other shoppers say the same liners last them for years. So, swapping them out that regularly isn't something you have to do; only do it if you want to.

More than five years after winning her first Oscar, Laura Dern seems busier than ever.

With two acclaimed films in the most recent awards season (Is This Thing On? and Jay Kelly), the longtime actress, 59, just opened up about the exciting projects that lie ahead — including a film with fellow Academy Award-winner Nicole Kidman.

But Dern also took time during the same interview, with AARP's Movies for Grownups, to share honestly about her experience growing up in front of the camera, decade after decade. And with her openness came some words of wisdom that could prove beneficial for all the big wigs in Hollywood.

"Someone told me I was brave for being willing to age on screen — to be myself at every age and not hide the process of aging, which should be empowering and beautiful, because it has always been in French and Italian cinema," the Big Little Lies star told AARP in an article published Monday, March 23. "I remember growing up with young men, and we’d go see a film with, say, [the late French actress] Emmanuelle Riva at a much older age, and they’d be like, ‘Oh, she’s so gorgeous. She’s so sexy. How old is she? 72? Oh, God, she’s so gorgeous.’ My friends in LA don’t say that. So I hope that we continue to explore male and female characters at every age with all the depth they deserve."

The Marriage Story actress also weighed in on Hollywood's ability (or lack thereof) to depict older people's lives.

"We all know what it’s like to be a kid, but we don’t know how to grow old," she told AARP. "And we don’t know how to find community around it, and how to talk about our fear of disease, of losing life, of losing loved ones. It’s pretty amazing in a community of storytellers that there are hardly any stories about that, and yet it’s inescapable for us all to face."

Spring launches usually bring florals, pastels, and the occasional new-and-improved basics. This time around, though, one brand is leaning all the way into something a little more mystical. It's unexpected, a little cheeky and definitely getting people talking.

This Thinx period underwear collection drop is a collaboration you probably didn't see coming.

A Spellbinding Take on Period Underwear View this post on Instagram

Thinx has officially launched its limited-time Blood Spell Collection, and the concept is exactly as intriguing as it sounds. The brand teamed up with real-life witch Lizzie Arden (known online as @lizzieandthebats) to create three enchanted styles of period underwear, each tied to a specific intention: confidence, money and love.

Each piece in the collection is designed to channel a different kind of energy. The Confidence Spell is all about boldness and self-assurance, the Money Moves Spell focuses on abundance and opportunity, and the Love Spell leans into connection and serendipity.

The timing is no coincidence either. The collection dropped alongside the spring equinox, a moment often associated with renewal and fresh starts. It's a clever way to tie in themes of growth and manifestation with a product people already use in their daily lives.

What You're Actually Getting

Beyond the witchy branding, these pieces still deliver on what Thinx is known for. Each style offers up to 12 hours of leakproof protection, so the function is just as important as the fun. In other words, the magic might be symbolic, but the performance is very real.

The collection includes three different period underwear silhouettes to match the themes. There's a sporty mesh bikini for confidence, a lace brief for money-focused energy, and a soft high-waisted style for love. Each one blends comfort with a slightly elevated look, making them feel a bit more special than your everyday pair.

Of course, the brand is clear that the spells themselves aren't guaranteed to bring instant riches or romance. But that's kind of the point. The collection plays into the idea of setting intentions and feeling good in what you wear, even when it's something as practical as period underwear.

At the end of the day, it's a fun twist on a category that doesn't always get to be playful. This drop is only available for a limited time, with pieces selling through quickly on the brand's website.

When Martha Stewart speaks, we listen — and when she wears something that catches our eye, we immediately go in search of it. Everyone's favorite lifestyle maven has nailed the art of comfy-chic style, and that was especially evident in a recent Instagram photo when she sported a relaxed, slightly slouchy yellow cardigan.

The buttery knit exudes exactly the kind of laid-back, cheerful vibe that makes spring dressing so fun. While Martha's sunny style costs several hundred dollars, we found a cute interpretation on Amazon that clocks in at just $35. The Shenhe cardigan infuses any look with instant joy thanks to its soft yellow hue and easy silhouette.

The pretty style is one of those pieces you'll find yourself reaching for time and time again throughout the season. It brims with spring-fresh radiance and features an open front design. The polyester material lends the piece its inherently soft texture, while the quality knit adds substance without feeling too heavy for the season. It's just the right weight to keep you comfortable on days that might require an extra layer. 

With its slightly cropped silhouette, it feels fresh and modern. The length hits a nice in-between spot, so it's neither too short nor too long. It's a pretty partner for virtually anything, too. You can throw it on with jeans and a white tee for an instant perk-up, or add it over a light dress for some added warmth. It's cute and polished, so you can pull it on and immediately feel like you've pulled together your look (Martha would approve).

Other reviewers agreed, with many highlighting its versatility as a major draw. "Beautiful sweater! Great quality. I got so many compliments." They added that the color is "so cute and fun."

Talk show legend Ricki Lake is wishing her lookalike son a happy birthday.

Lake, 57, rose to fame at just 20 years old in the role of Tracy Turnblad in the 1988 film Hairspray. However, it was her beloved ’90s daytime talk show, Ricki Lake, that made her a household name. In recent years, Lake went on a health journey, experiencing weight loss in pursuit of a healthier lifestyle. Looking and feeling better than ever, the former host took to Instagram to wish her son, Milo, a happy birthday this week. However, it was how much her son looked like his mother that truly blew us away.

In the sweet photo, which shows Milo towering over his mom, Lake and her son share the same smile.

"My firstborn son, Milo is 29 today! 👏👏👏👏❤️ I am endlessly proud of him and the life he has chosen for himself. Seeing him happy and thriving is truly one of my greatest joys.
Happy Birthday Milo! I love you. ❤️," Lake captioned the photo.

How Does Ricki Lake Feel About Aging?

 Lake is embracing her natural gray hair in her fifties. The star took to Instagram recently to share a fun video that showed her back in her brunette days, and then in the present day with her shoulder-length gray hair.

“Life in your 50s ROCKS! I’ve been loving my natural hair lately 💕,” the former talk show icon captioned her video, which showed her throwing her gorgeous gray hair back in the wind.

Lake has been open and honest with her followers about the fact that she underwent a deep plane lower face and neck lift, as well as a mild CO2 laser.

“I had lost 40 lbs and did not like the extra skin that hung from below my chin,” Lake shared on social media.  “It was never going to tighten up on its own. Not at 55. Trust me, when I tell you, I still felt extra cute and loved myself regardless, especially after working so hard to get in the best shape of my life.”

Looking back on the decision to go under the knife, Lake called it “one of the best decisions I ever made for myself.”

She’s only 23, but celeb Olivia Rodrigo just made a pretty strong statement on marriage and having babies. The “Drivers License” singer recently talked to British Vogue about life, love, and her views on marriage.

View this post on Instagram

Rodrigo’s younger years weren’t exactly what most of us experienced. Instead of going to prom and hanging with friends at the mall, the homeschooled songwriter was hard at work, starring in Disney Channel hits like High School Musical: The Musical: The Series and Blizaardvark. And maybe that’s why she didn’t have an entirely positive take on her childhood in the interview with British Vogue, “If I had kids, I would put them in school.” The April 2026 cover star also told the magazine, “I hope that young girls know that life is full of so much joy that is unrelated to a husband or kids.” 

But wait! Don’t assume Rodrigo is against having a family. She went on to explain, “That being said, I want to be a mom more than anything…I already feel like I’ve done a lot in my career that I’ve wanted to do and feel more mature for my age than maybe I should.”

While the 23-year-old clearly wants to have kiddos someday, the Internet is divided on how to respond to her take on marriage and family. One fan commented on Elite Daily’s Instagram post, “You guys do realize that she can be a mother without a man, right?” and another said, “I just became a mom at 36 and I am happy I didn’t do it before, I had so much to do and explore. Just live your lives, girls and then be the best mom you can be.”

Even though plenty of Rodrigo’s fans took to social media in support of her statement, others had different thoughts. When Hollywood Life posted the story on Instagram, one commenter wrote, “There is so much joy related to having a husband and kids,” and another went as far as saying, “Terrible advice.” Of course, that was met by a backlash of more replies, such as, “Life isn’t always about being married and having children,” and, “I think she’s not saying to never get married or have kids. But that as humans, regardless of gender, we are allowed to have hobbies and interests that make us happy beyond the identity of being a mother/wife.”

When it comes to getting married anytime soon, it doesn’t look like wedding bells are in the singer’s immediate future. She’s currently dating actor Louis Partridge and spoke about love to British Vogue, “I’m definitely a lover girl. Like, I want to be in something committed and so in love.” So, whether she’s really team marriage and kids or team wait a beat, one thing is pretty clear—Rodrigo is still a romantic! 

What happens when a routine flight suddenly feels anything but routine? For a traveler on a recent Delta Air Lines flight from Los Angeles (LAX) to Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW), that question became all too real. In a viral TikTok video, he recounts waking up mid‑air to alarmingly loud noise, flickering lights, dead screens, and a long descent where no one seemed to know exactly what was happening.

His account illustrates how quickly an in‑flight incident can warp a passenger’s sense of safety, regardless of the technical reality. It also highlights how aviation safety systems work behind the scenes and how critical communication is to calm passengers in uncertain moments.

A Routine Delta Flight Turns Terrifying

What began as just another cross‑country hop for 131 passengers quickly veered into the unexpected. In the viral TikTok video, the passenger described waking up to a loud humming sound “like riding in a tractor”, a noise that, to him, felt more mechanical than melodic. There was, initially, no official explanation from the crew, and flight attendants weren’t immediately communicating details to nervous flyers.

Eventually, passengers were told by flight attendants that they did not know what that noise was and were planning an expedited descent into DFW. However, they were still about 60–90 minutes from Dallas. The TikTok creator later shared that he even began texting loved ones, including starting to draft a last will and testament, because his messages seemed to actually go through. The creator shared in a comment that they were granted priority landing at DFW.

The panic in the cabin escalated when flight attendants began speaking with the passengers seated in exit rows mid‑flight. The TikTok creator said “I don’t wanna see them talking to the people in the exit row mid flight unless it’s to pass out Biscoffs and ginger ale.”

Delta later confirmed that a temporary electrical disruption did occur, that the crew followed established safety procedures, and that the aircraft landed safe and under control. After the flight touched down safely at DFW, the airline reportedly sent passengers an apology email acknowledging the disruption, a gesture some passengers found perfunctory given the emotional experience onboard. In its public remarks, Delta emphasized passenger safety as its top priority and said the aircraft would undergo a full technical review.

This is a long one so bare with me, but I might not be getting on another flight anytime soon 😵‍💫 #storytime #travelstory #dallastx

♬ original sound - jerrold smith ii What People Are Saying Online About This Flight

Since the TikTok video went viral, online reactions have ranged widely, reflecting the emotions many people feel during aviation scares. Many commenters expressed shock at what happened, some criticized Delta for not communicating better, and others added humor to match the creator’s lighthearted and upbeat retelling of the story.

One comment reads "My heart rate increased when you mentioned the FAs talking to the exit row people."

A concerned commentor mentioned "Glad you and everyone are safe. Delta needs to do better."

A user commented "On a flight to Dallas took me out" while the original creator sent back "Cause why I couldn’t be headed to bora bora for the obituary plot."

So What Really Happened Onboard?

In rare electrical emergencies, airplanes can deploy a Ram Air Turbine (RAT), a small wind-driven propeller that pops out into the airstream and generates emergency power from airflow alone. It is designed not to provide full lighting or entertainment power, but to keep essential flight instruments and hydraulics operating so pilots can fly and land safely.

Depending on the aircraft model, the RAT may deploy automatically when main generators and auxiliary power units are offline, a loud, wind-driven whirring that would sound strange to anyone unfamiliar with it. But while it is dramatic, the RAT is a standard safety feature, not a sign of imminent danger.

Flying Isn’t Perfect, But It Is Safe

The Delta passenger’s experience captures a universal truth about flying, our fear often grows faster than the actual risk. Studies consistently show that commercial air travel remains one of the safest modes of transportation, with technical disruptions rarely threatening safety.

Still, for some travelers, once is enough. In his TikTok recount, the passenger declared himself done with flying anytime soon. Whether he ever takes to the skies again remains to be seen, but his viral story does shine a spotlight on how airlines can better communicate during unusual situations to keep anxiety down and perspective up.

For decades, weary travelers returned from trips exhausted, famously needing a vacation to recover from their vacation. But as of 2026, travel itineraries have a new option. As chronic burnout and digital fatigue hit a fever pitch, travelers are no longer booking flights for the views, they’re booking them for the silence. Welcome to the era of sleep tourism, where the ultimate status symbol isn’t a stamp in your passport, but a consistent eight hours of REM.

Between the ongoing NTSB investigation into the LaGuardia runway collision and a funding standoff on Capitol Hill that has TSA officers working without pay, the airport has become a place of stress for many travelers, not the beginning of a travel adventure. As primary airport hubs become more hectic, while security wait times in Atlanta and NYC have ballooned to three hours. When you finally board, you’re often met with a new reality: tiny seats that make mid-air rest a physical impossibility.

By the time travelers reach their destination, they aren't looking for a top 10 things to do list; they are looking for a sanctuary. This has birthed the rise of Hushpitality, a movement where luxury outposts offer sleep-friendly amenities such as no wifi, like the Eremito in Italy; or no windows, like the Zedwell in the United Kingdom. It’s no longer about the thread count; it’s about soundproofing, circadian-aligned lighting, and the luxury of being completely unreachable.

For the data-obsessed, the trend has gone high-tech. At the Park Hyatt New York, the Bryte Restorative Sleep Suite features AI-powered beds that adjust to your movements in real-time to prevent wake-ups. Meanwhile, retreats like Sensei Lanai in Hawaii are sending guests biometric trackers before they even pack a bag, allowing concierge teams to adjust itineraries based on their pre-trip recovery scores.

But for the rest of us, the draw is purely analog and delightfully lazy. The Scottish trend of hurkle-durkling, the art of intentionally lounging in bed long after you’ve woken up, has become the viral badge of honor for the 2026 traveler. Whether it’s a sonic reset or a silent walk in a forest, the goal is sleepmaxxing over itinerary perfection.

In a world where hyperconnectivity and airport chaos are the default, being hard to reach is the new luxury. If your spring break doesn't involve a plan where the only thing you finish is a dream cycle, maybe it's time to consider a little hurkle-durkle.

Forty-two years after Jack Sawyer first crossed into the Territories, Stephen King is bringing him back one last time. Other Worlds Than These, the third and final book in the Talisman trilogy, will be published October 6, 2026, by Scribner, King officially announced on his web site. It's available for pre-order now in hardcover, audiobook, and e-book formats, and runs 624 pages.

The book caps a series that King began with Peter Straub in 1984's The Talisman, in which a 12-year-old Jack Sawyer travels a parallel America called the Territories to save his dying mother. The two reunited for Black House in 2001, which found an adult Jack as an LAPD detective hunting a serial killer in Wisconsin. A third book was discussed almost immediately after Black House came out, but scheduling conflicts and health issues kept pushing it back. Then Straub died in 2022, and it looked like the trilogy might never close.

Related: Stephen King Found a Dead Friend's Email — and Finally Finished Their Unfinished Story

King kept going anyway. Straub had sent him a letter before he died with ideas for the final book, and King built from there. He confirmed on Threads in January 2025 that he was actively writing it. By July 2025, he posted that the manuscript was nearly done. The title, cover, and release date were revealed February 7, 2026. Straub receives co-author credit on the finished book.

In Other Worlds Than These, an older Jack faces what the publisher describes as a nearly impossible task: stopping a wave of violent, infected teenagers on the American side while simultaneously confronting a force called the Gullet at the edge of Mid-World, the same Mid-World that anchors King's Dark Tower saga. King's quote on the book makes the connection explicit: 'I wanted to go back to Mid-World, which was always the Territories by another name.'

That blending into the Dark Tower mythology is a significant pull for longtime King readers. The Territories and Mid-World have always existed in the same fictional universe, but Other Worlds Than These formally brings Jack Sawyer into Roland Deschain's cosmology. Jack's Ka-tet (the Dark Tower term for a group bound together by fate) is aging and strained, and the stakes extend beyond any single world.

The book is also designed to work as a standalone. The publisher's description specifically pitches it to readers who haven't touched The Talisman or Black House, and the 30 black-and-white illustrations by artist Gabriel Rodriguez throughout the text give it a distinct visual identity.

An excerpt ran in Esquire on February 9, 2026. Pre-orders are live at major booksellers now.

Do you like flying economy with United Airlines? Then you're going to be very interested in the new plane layouts the airline just announced. That's because the airline says that it will be cutting back on some of those seats in favor of more premium cabin capacity.

Some travelers may find themselves having to spring for pricier seats as a result, since there will be fewer of the lower priced tickets available. And that's not all, the airline will also be introducing some new aircrafts as it slowly replaces some of the older models. You can learn all bout their plans below.

United Airlines Announces Design Changes

On Mar. 24, United Airlines shared an update about plans to reconfigure its fleet. According to CNBC, the airline will be cutting the number of coach and economy seats in favor of more premium seats to help keep up with demand.

That means that passengers hoping to snag cheaper airfare by flying in the more affordable seats may find themselves out of luck if they don't book quickly, since there will be fewer seats to choose from. According to the publication, that could feasibly add up to thousands of dollars for those who have to opt for the more expensive option.

The decision comes at a time when airlines everywhere say that they are experiencing more demand for premium seats as travelers choose to splurge on more luxe seating. "The main cabin is also improving, and we’ve seen very strong demand across the board for United in Q1, but premium did lead the way yet again in the quarter, and continues to do so," United's chief commercial officer Andrew Nocella told reporters.

United Will Add New Planes to its Fleet

While the airline will be updating some of its existing planes, it also plans to replace a few of its dated Boeing 757s with Airbus A321XLRs, which are used for longer-range travel. Those planes are expected to be ready for travel this summer, and heading to places like:

• Spain
• France
• Portugal
• Brazil

United will also be introducing a few Airbus A321ne jets for its transcontinental flights. These planes go by the nickname of "Coastliners" and they will have 20 Polaris seats that can be folded down into beds for travelers looking to arrive to their destinations feeling well-rested and refreshed. These planes are also expected to begin rolling out over the summer, with United predicting that they will have around 40 of them by the time 2028 arrives.

I can absolutely see the appeal of adding more premium seats, especially for those long-haul flights that have you spending hours in the air, I just hope it doesn't make it harder for people who don't have a lot of money to fly. With rising fuel costs already showing up in the price of plane tickets, adding more expenses to travel could prohibit a lot of people from getting a chance to fly the friendly skies this year.

The Married at First Sight family has lost one of their own. As Parade reported, dating coach Mel Schilling has died at age 54.

News of her death comes about two weeks after Schilling revealed that she was battling terminal cancer. Schilling's cause of death is from terminal colon cancer, over two years after she was first diagnosed with the disease.

“Melanie Jane Brisbane-Schilling passed away peacefully today, surrounded by love,” her husband, Gareth Brisbane, of 15 years, shared in an Instagram post.

Brisbane went on to share a lengthy tribute to his wife on behalf of himself and their daughter Maddie.

“In her final moments, when I thought cancer had taken away her ability to speak, she ushered me closer and whispered a message for Maddie and me that will sustain me for the rest of my life. It took all of her remaining strength, and that gesture summed up our wee Melsie perfectly. Even then, her only thought was for Maddie and me,” Brisbane expressed as part of his post, which also included several family photos.

Earlier in March, Schilling revealed on social media that in December 2023, she was diagnosed with colon cancer after her doctor discovered a tumor the size of a lemon on her scan. Despite being able to remove the tumor and getting the all-clear from her doctor, in February 2024, her cancer returned.

After undergoing 16 rounds of chemotherapy and being told she qualified for a groundbreaking treatment, Schilling learned in December 2025 that her cancer had spread, and the doctors had done everything they could do for her.

Schilling spent years as a dating coach and expert on two versions of the Married at First Sight franchise. She was a staple on Married at First Sight UK and Married at First Sight Australia, offering advice to newly married couples.

Tributes have been pouring in for Schilling following her death, along with condolences for her family.

RIP Mel Schilling. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her husband and daughter.

McDonald's is dropping a KPop Demon Hunters-inspired menu thanks to a partnership with Netflix, and it sounds like it's gonna begolden.

On Tuesday, the 86-year-old burger joint revealed it had partnered with the mega streamer to launch two new limited-edition Happy Meal-style combos for adults, each with its own collectible, as well as a brand-new McFlurry Flavor.

"Everything we do at McDonald's is for the fans, and no one can relate to that more than Netflix and KPop Demon Hunters," Alyssa Buetikofer, chief marketing and customer experience officer at McDonald's, shared in a March 24 press release. "Big things happen when you bring two massive fandoms together, and this partnership was a natural fit."

McDonald's and Netflix Team Up for 2 KPop Demon Hunters Meals and McFlurry Flavor

The new menu collaboration includes two all-new "dueling" adult meals that feature themed packaging and star some flavors commonly found in South Korean cuisine. Notably, one combo appears to only be available in the morning, when the fast-food chain's breakfast menu is served.

"We found authentic ways to unite our iconic worlds — inviting HUNTR/X and Saja Boys fans into the rivalry in ways that feel true to the film and unmistakably McDonald's," Buetikofer added.

Taking the stage at McDonald's for a limited time are the new The Saja Boys Breakfast Meal and The HUNTR/X Meal (each of which comes with a collectible), as well as The Derpy McFlurry.

MCDONALD’S AND NETFLIX CALL ON FANS TO PICK A SIDE WITH TWO NEW “KPOP DEMON HUNTERS”-INSPIRED MEALS (PRNewsfoto/McDonald's USA, LLC) What's Included in the HUNTR/X and Saja Boys-Inspired Meals?

According to an official description, The Saja Boys Breakfast Meal channels their "signature heartthrob charm" with the Spicy Saja Egg McMuffin, which features a peppery spicy Saja sauce "inspired by the fire of Gwi-Ma," along with a side of hashbrowns and a small soda pop.

The new HUNTR/X adult meal, on the other hand, comes with enough food to power fans up for a total takedown of their day. It pairs an order of McDonald's 10-piece Chicken McNuggets with three limited-time menu items—including new McShaker Fries and a medium soft drink.

• Ramyeon McShaker Fries: A spicy, umami spin on our World Famous Fries featuring a soy, garlic, sesame and spice seasoning — inspired by Rumi, Mira and Zoey's go-to snack. Sprinkle the seasoning into the McShaker bag, add fries, and shake for a bold taste that's true to South Korean flavors.
• Hunter Sauce: A sweet chili sauce mixing notes of chili, garlic and pepper with just enough heat inspired by HUNTR/X's fierce, yet fun-loving personalities.
• Demon Sauce: A bold mustard sauce with heat and tang — made purple, just like demon patterns.

As for those special collectibles, each meal comes with an exclusive card pack featuring a Derpy access card and a photocard for either HUNTR/X or the Saja Boys. Customers who scan the QR code on each Derpy access card and enter the unique code on the McDonald's App by April 26 will unlock access to exclusive content, per the release.

"KPop Demon Hunters has ignited an incredibly passionate global fandom, and we're always looking for authentic ways to bring fans deeper into the worlds they love," Marian Lee, chief marketing officer at Netflix, explained. "With McDonald's, we were able to turn the rivalry between The Saja Boys and HUNTR/X into something fans can actually experience, drawing inspiration from Korean culture and food traditions that sit at the heart of the film. From Ramyeon McShaker Fries to Demon sauces paired with Soda Pop, every detail was designed to feel like it could have come straight out of a scene in the movie."

And because McDonald's knows a moment of uninterrupted snacking can only be improved with something sweet, it's also launching a brand-new McFlurry flavor. The Derpy McFlurry blends creamy vanilla soft-serve with berry-flavored popping pearls and a wild berry sauce.

When Will McDonald's KPop Demon Hunters Menu Be Available?

The new KPop Demon Hunters menu will be available at McDonald's locations across the U.S. beginning on Tuesday, March 31 (prices may vary).

As its name implies, Saja Boys Breakfast Meal will be offered only at participating chains during breakfast hours, while the HUNTR/X Meal joins the lunch and dinner menu—but only for a limited time, while supplies last. The Derpy McFlurry can be purchased à la carte at any time.
