They say celebrity marriages never last. And while that's not always the case, even the ones spanning nearly 25 years can sometimes falter.

The formerly married couple known as Caitlyn Jenner and wife Kris Jenner raised a number of now-equally famous kids, including Kim Kardashian, and some of their own relationship struggles became public domain after airing on Keeping Up With the Kardashians over the years.

Then, on this day back in 2015, Kris, now 70, and Caitlyn, now 76, officially finalized their divorce after announcing their split in roughly a year and a half earlier.

"We are living separately and we are much happier this way, but we will always have much love and respect for each other," the couple had said in a joint statement to E! News in October 2013. "Even though we are separated, we will always remain best friends and, as always, our family will remain our number one priority."

Then came the headline-making rumors that Caitlyn was transitioning amid his changing appearance. In an interview with ET in October 2014, Kris said that that "hasn't been her experience" with the former Olympian.

"They've been saying that since 1976," she told the entertainment news show at the time. "For me, that's not my experience with Bruce. He's a great guy. I love him. I don't know what he’s going through right now. I think he’s just very happy, and I think every time he makes a change in his life — whether it's emotional or physical or whatever he's doing — somebody's going to comment on whatever look you have going on for the day."

The following year came Caitlyn's big reveal in a 20/20 special with Diane Sawyer. And a month later, in the two-part special Keeping Up With the Kardashians: About Bruce, Caitlyn said, "Kris is a really good woman, and I love her to death. The love and acceptance I have gotten from Kris is absolutely overwhelming."

Space films are often about scale, the vastness, the danger, and the spectacle of the unknown. But Project Hail Marydoes something slightly different. Yes, it has stunning visuals, science, and a survival story. Still, the movie finds its real emotional center in something far quieter: an unlikely friendship formed millions of miles away from Earth. That bond comes through Rocky, an alien who doesn't look or communicate like anything we are used to seeing. And yet, somehow, he feels similar.

Rocky is not merely a secondary character in the film directed by Christopher Miller and Phil Lord; it becomes something more, something that can be felt, even when it is not real. The chemistry between Rocky and Ryland, played by Ryan Gosling, is one of the main reasons why the story connects with the audience on a deeper level. The relationship between them doesn't seem to be weird; it seems to be unexpectedly natural, as if two very different beings have found a shared language beyond words. While Ryland is visibly scared, Rocky is different. Curious, and funny at times.

It’s the kind of character that makes you pause and wonder: who actually brought him to life? Are you also wondering who voiced Rocky? Well, we have you covered.

Project Hail Mary: Who Voices Rocky in the Sci-Fi Epic?

The answer to that burning question is James Ortiz, and his contribution goes far beyond simply “voicing” the character.

Ortiz was deeply involved in shaping Rocky from the inside out. On set, he worked as the lead puppeteer, physically performing the alien using a detailed practical setup. That alone requires precision and timing, especially when the character needs to react naturally in scenes opposite a live actor. But Ortiz didn’t stop there; he also provided the voice that eventually became a core part of Rocky’s identity.

What makes this interesting is how natural the transition was. His voice wasn’t initially meant to be the final version. It started as a guide during filming, something to help with timing and interaction. But over time, it just fit. There was a certain honesty to it that matched the way Rocky moved and behaved. Instead of replacing it later, the filmmakers kept it. Rocky’s way of speaking in the film isn’t typical either. The character communicates through sound patterns, almost like music, which are then interpreted for the audience. Even with that added layer, Ortiz’s performance still shapes how those moments feel. The pauses, the tone, the slight shifts in delivery; they all help build Rocky’s personality.

Ortiz comes from a background rooted in puppetry and live performance, and that experience shows in subtle ways. He understands how to give weight to movement, how to make a non-human figure feel responsive and aware. Because of that, Rocky never feels flat or purely digital. There’s a sense that someone is truly there, reacting in real time.

In the end, Rocky works because he feels genuine. The friendship that develops in the film depends on that believability, and a large part of it comes from Ortiz’s combined work behind and within the character.

So while Project Hail Mary may be remembered for its scale and ideas, it’s this performance that quietly holds everything together. And at the center of it is James Ortiz, the artist who turned a complex alien into someone audiences can actually connect with.

The movie has already broken records at the box office by earning $81 million domestically in its opening weekend. By doing so, it became the second-biggest opening for a non-franchise film in the last 10 years after Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer ($82.45 million). The movie doesn't work because of Gosling in the lead. Yes, it is a reason, but the primary reason for the film's success has been its emotional storytelling and how a man's journey becomes so much more than just an expedition. It’s rare to see a big-scale film that feels this personal and heartfelt.

Project Hail Mary is currently playing in theaters.

More so than even its most famous competitors, Little Bites has routinely found a way to appeal to hungry shoppers interested in quick and easy breakfast to start off their day.

While the iconic snack cake brand has long delivered tasty packaged products for consumers to enjoy on the go, one of our favorite Little Bites flavors might just take the form of the seasonal specialty, the brand's S'mores Muffins.

According to a new press release from the company, Little Bites is once again bringing back their limited-time S'mores flavor, just in time for the start of the summer season.

Originally launched in 2022, the S'mores Muffins offer a summer-centric spin on Little Bites' famous Muffins. Combining such nostalgic flavors as graham flour and real milk chocolate, Little Bites' S'mores Muffins serve as the perfect treat to enjoy this summer, whether you're eating them for breakfast, lunch or beneath a star-filled night following an outdoor barbecue.

"For years, Little Bites has focused on creating bite-sized snacks that bring a little joy to simple everyday moments," said Rielly Whims, Brand Manager for Little Bites Snacks. "With the return of S'mores Muffins, families can enjoy a campfire-inspired treat in a fun, easy and convienent  way that's perfect for summer snacking."

Arriving in stores across the country starting right now, Little Bites' S'mores Muffins will only be available while supplies last. And if past years are any indication, you'll want to hurry up and get these seasonal treats before they've once again disappeared for the season.

As Little Bites said of the new treats, "Designed for life on the move, these seasonal favorites are perfect for backyard evenings, road trips, beach days, pool breaks, or any moment that needs a little extra sweetness. Packed in convenient, portable pouches, they make summer snacking simple and fun."

Matt Damon stepped out in Australia recently looking relaxed, stylish, and fully in his silver-fox era on Sunday, March 22. The actor was spotted attending a horse-racing event alongside his wife, Luciana Barroso, where his noticeably grayer hair and rugged scruff drew plenty of positive attention.

The outing took place at the prestigious Golden Slipper Stakes in Sydney, one of Australia's biggest horse racing events. Damon and Barroso were photographed enjoying the festivities together, dressed sharply for the occasion.

The Good Will Hunting star—an Australian Turf Club (ATC) member and a co-owner of the three-time winning racehorse, Dale—has long been known for his clean-cut look. He first debuted his gray at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards, and he's been leaning into it ever since. Rather than dyeing away the salt-and-pepper hair, the actor appears comfortable letting it grow out, and the result is a look many people are calling effortlessly handsome and just like "fine wine."

"Love the hair and the beard!" one fan commented, calling him a "sexy silver fox."

Others added that he even looks "more handsome now than he did when he was younger."

Damon has been spending time in Australia recently while working on upcoming film projects, which has given fans there the chance to spot him out and about more often than usual. While his film career continues to evolve, this appearance reminds fans that he's also entering a new personal era, style-wise.

Several male actors have also become known for embracing their gray hair rather than hiding it, helping shift Hollywood's narrative around aging. Stars like George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Jeff Goldblum, and Keanu Reeves have all leaned into their silver strands over the years, as well. For many fans, the look signals confidence and authenticity—qualities that often become even more attractive with age.

The growing visibility of gray-haired leading men in Hollywood is also part of a broader cultural shift toward aging positivity. Instead of treating gray hair as something to be ashamed of, more celebrities are showing that it can represent experience, self-assurance, and a sense of ease in one's own skin. When well-known figures embrace the natural changes that come with getting older, it sends a powerful message: Aging isn't something to fear or fight, but it's something to live fully.

Unusual yellow signs with names and a license plate number written on them were posted at Nancy Guthrie’s home, prompting police to step in. Authorities have taken the signs for evidence as part of an ongoing investigation, though details about their origin or purpose remain unclear. The discovery has raised questions about whether the signs hold any meaning, and investigators are urging anyone with information to come forward.

YouTube streamer Dad's Gone Live was able to capture officers with the Pima County Sheriff Department looking at the signs, removing them, and taking them as evidence. One sign read "Guthrie & Carol Shimek" with other words on the page written in black marker, including "Yavapai Sheriffs Dpt.," "Lemons-Rhodes State Fire" and "Connolly." On another sign, a number was written: "CBD 2273."

It was Dad's Gone Live who first noticed the signs and phoned police. The Pima County Sheriff's Department has not commented on the signs and it's unclear who may have put them up.

This is just the latest development in the Guthrie case. The 84-year-old mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie has been missing since Sunday, Feb. 1. Investigators have been working various leads, but have not had a significant break in the case just yet. Authorities and the Guthrie family have asked for the public's help in identifying the armed individual seen on Guthrie's front stoop the night that she disappeared. So far, however, no suspect has been identified.

Everyone knows the name Elvis Presley, one of rock 'n' roll's greatest legends who helped define the genre. Before becoming one of the most prominent artists of the 20th century, he released his debut studio album at 21-years-old in 1956.

RCA Victor released the self-titled album on March 26, cementing Presley as a leading artist of the late '50s. The album sat in the No. 1 spot for 10 straight weeks on the Billboard Top Pop Albums chart in 1956. According to reports, it was the first rock n' roll album to reach the charts, and the first to sell millions in the genre.

Before the album's release, Presley was already making a name for himself with released singles like "Baby Let's Play House" and "I Forgot to Remember to Forget." Those singles were released by Sun Records, and RCA Victor bought out Presley's contract. Rock n' roll and Presley's music style were still untested waters, but the debut album proved the genre of music was a grand success.

The album included some of Presley's biggest hits like "Blue Suede Shoes," "One Sided Love Affair," and more, with "Heartbreak Hotel" also being a part of the album and released as a single. With RCA Victor having bought Presley's contract, it also included his unreleased tracks "I Love You Because", "Just Because", "Tryin' to Get to You", "I'll Never Let You Go (Little Darlin')", and "Blue Moon." All songs were included in the album to reach an acceptable runtime length.

In 1966, the album was certified gold and was named one of the greatest albums of all time by Rolling Stone. It wasn't only the tracks that gained recognition, but also the artwork. The cover features a photo of Presley performing at Fort Homer Hesterly Armory in Tampa, Florida, on July 31, 1955. It was later revealed that the photo was taken by William V. "Red" Robertson of Robertson & Fresch, and is tagged as one of the greatest album covers.

A defining star of Hollywood's Golden Age is being honored, celebrated and remembered today on what would've been her 120th birthday.

Joan Crawford began trending on March 23, 2026, as fans took to social media to wish the "ultimate movie star" a happy birthday.

The move was a bit more symbolic than precise, considering Joan was famously secretive about her age and birthday, though records show she was born Lucille Fay LeSueru in 1906.

Crawford's career spanned decades and defined an era. With her glamorous style, unforgettable roles and commanding performances, she has cemented her legacy as one of cinema's most enduring icons, with the American Film Institute even naming her one of the greatest female stars of classic Hollywood.

She enjoyed a highly decorated career, winning the Academy Award for Best Actress for Mildred Pierce in 1945 and a Golden Globe for Best Actress for Sudden Fear in 1952, which also earned her an Oscar nomination. She was additionally nominated for her role in 1947's Possessed.

However, fans on social media were captivated by her other roles, including shining opposite Bette Davis in the psychological horror thriller film, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Her guest appearance on The Lucy Show also garnered attention, as did her role as Crystal Allen in The Women, with the fan noting she was "getting her comeuppance as she tosses out a classic way around a word prohibited by the film code at that time..."

"joan evolved with every role and that’s why she’ll forever be one of my favorite actresses!" someone else mused, as another chimed in, "Great respect and admiration for Crawford, who managed to have one of the longest careers ever in Hollywood. It's her birthday - what year she was born doesn't matter. She didn't know herself."

"Remembering the legendary Joan Crawford on what would likely be her 120th birthday, if we go by her 1906 birth year. She had a magnetic screen presence and a face the gods themselves could have sculpted for the silver screen," another wrote in tribute.

Beyond her acting, Crawford was a major influence in the fashion world. She became a style icon thanks to her signature elegant glamour, along with her bold eyebrows and impeccable bone structure, with that timeless sophistication continuing to inspire creatives to this day.

Despite her death on May 10, 1977, at the age of 69 (though some listed her as two to four years older) from a heart attack in her apartment, to this day, fans continue to keep the legend alive for many generations to come.

Her milestone birthday serves as a reminder of her enduring legacy and dedication to her craft, with over 100 roles to her name for fans to enjoy.

Next time you're standing in line to take advantage of your hotel's complimentary breakfast buffet, you may find yourself looking around to see if any of the people gathered around you are actually paying guests. That's because some hotels are seeing a rise in imposters pretending to be paying customers so that they can score a free meal.

In fact, the trend has become so popular that you can now find videos of people pulling off the scam on social media, as they dine and dash without drawing too much attention to themselves. While it may seem like a harmless prank that's more likely to be carried out by kids or young adults, it sounds like this con job is becoming popular amongst people of all ages, must to the disappointment of hoteliers around the world.

While the phrase "dine and dash" has been traditionally reserved for restaurant guests who eat a full sit down meal before running out the door without paying the check, the same logic applies to a rising group of people who show up at hotels that offer complimentary breakfasts, where they pretend to be overnight guests so that they can score a free meal.

And these non-guests aren't exactly shy about it either, with some of them posting their exploits to TikTok, like the woman who filmed her self preparing her breakfast at the Staybridge Suites in Columbia. "Went to another hotel that I didn’t stay at for free breakfast," she captioned the video.

People Have Mixed Opinions About Breakfast Scammers

While I expected there to be a lot of outrage about the OP scamming her way into a free meal, it doesn't seem like most people are actually bothered by the trend. "Oh well. They gonna throw it away anyways," one person wrote.

A few people chimed in to share how they've also done this, and they shared some tips and tricks for making it less obvious that you're not a hotel guest. Meanwhile, another person joked about how people better start saying "allegedly" when posting this videos, since it actually could be considered a crime if you get caught.

Is Scamming a Hotel Out of Free Breakfast a Crime?

While taking food that isn't yours in a situation where you're lying to obtain it sounds like it would be strictly illegal, it seems like the people of Reddit think there's a little gray area surrounding which laws you would actually be breaking.

For example, someone caught doing this may only face trespassing charges, if they were caught pretending to be a hotel guest while not actually staying at the location. Meanwhile, in other places you could conceivably be looking at charges of petty theft, since the actual cost of the items you were consuming may not add up to enough to qualify as more than that, even if you add into it the supplies and time it takes the hotel staff to make all of that food.

In the state of Pennsylvania, for example, people who steal items of little value could face charges like:

• Retail theft
• Petty theft
• Receiving stolen property
• Theft by deception

That being said, I'm hard pressed to feel too bad for hotels that are missing out on what likely amounts to just a few dollars per person pulling this scam, especially when these multi-million dollar companies are cutting services, perks, and amenities (I'm looking at you, vanishing hotel bathroom doors) to try and save a few bucks. Of course, on the flip side, if too many people start pulling this prank, its likely that many hotels will be forced to raises costs even further to compensate for the losses, or else do away with the free breakfast all together.

Today, in 1974, a classic ballad hit the music charts—and it has been a timeless love song ever since.

The romance anthem,Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye's version of "You Are Everything," debuted on the UK music charts at No. 5 on March 23, 1974. It was initially released on the legendary music duo's 1973 joint album, Diana & Marvin, which reached No. 6 on the UK albums chart and No. 7 on the US R&B chart. (The single, itself, never received a separate release in the US.)

The track is a cover of The Stylistics' original hit of the same name, a May 1971 release that enjoyed its own success on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 9 on the Top 10.

Written by Thom Bell and Linda Creed, the tune featured lead vocals by the soul-R&B group's Russell Thompkins Jr., and was released on their self-titled debut album, The Stylistics. Ross and Gaye's version became known as one of the standout offerings from their collaboration project.

The timeless soul ballad tells the story of an all-consuming love, where everything reminds the singer of the person they long to be with. "How could I forget when each face that I see / Brings back memories of being with you? / I just can't go on living life as I do / Comparing each girl to you, knowing it just won't do," the lyrics express.

Meanwhile, the chorus doubles down on the message: "You are everything and everything is you / Oh, you are everything and everything is you."

The song may not have been a Hot 100 hit, but Diana & Marvin was a massive success for both artists. The full studio album was released by Motown in October 1973, and went on to sell over a million copies. It also included notable tracks like "Love Twins," "Don't Knock My Love," "You're A Special Part Of Me," "Pledging My Love," "Just Say, Just Say," "Stop, Look, Listen (To Your Heart)," "I'm Falling In Love With You," "My Mistake (Was To Love You)," and "Include Me In Your Life".

Over five decades later, it remains a defining album of the era.

As expected from a show with as long and storied a history as Saturday Night Live, there's been an equally impressive number of great hosts as there has been forgettable ones, including more than a few the show's cast members have openly criticized over the years.

Yet even then, there's only been one SNL host the show's cast has gone so far as to stage a walkout boycott for.

In mid 1990, comedian Andrew Dice Clay was slated to appear on the May 12 episode of Saturday Night Live, acting as the episode's official guest host. At that point in time, Clay had acquired something of a checkered reputation for his popular, albeit highly offensive comedic style, as seen through his foul-mouthed on-stage alter ego, "The Diceman."

While SNL sought to take advantage of Clay's growing popularity, some of the show's cast members spoke out against the inclusion of Clay in their NBC tapings. Cast member Nora Dunn even went so far as to refuse to appear on the episode, with musical guest Sinead O'Connor similarly withdrawing from the episode after learning of Clay's involement.

As Dunn recalled in a later interview with Cracked, "I told [show writer Al Franken], 'I ain’t doing the show. I’m not coming in.' I called several other cast members and said, 'Did you know that Andrew Dice Clay is doing the show?' And they’re like, 'No.' Some were saying, 'Well, I’m not going to perform with him,' and, 'I won’t write for him.' I said, 'Well, I’m not going to work with him.'"

Bringing her concern to Michaels, Dunn said she and Franken had disputed Clay's inclusion due to his famously coarse subject matter.

"[Franken] actually asked Lorne that week not to have him on the show," Dunn remembered. "He said, 'It’s a mistake. He’s divisive, and people are going to turn against us if you keep him on the show.' But it was Lorne who said that he was 'an interesting phenomenon worth examining.' I said, 'Well, so was Hitler. I’ve been examining him for years. That doesn’t mean I accept him.'"

Singer Charlie Puth and wife Brooke Sansone have officially announced the arrival of their first child by posting some super-adorable photos. According to Puth and Sansone's cross-posted Instagram, the baby arrived March 13, 2026, and also has a very sing-able name: It's Jude! Jude Crawford Puth, his dad shared in a separate story.

If you couldn't guess, Puth is a bigtime fan of The Beatles, and he's cited them several times as an influence on his work. He publicly discussed the influence of their song "Yellow Submarine." And he also pointed out some fun "imperfections" in their song "Hey Jude" while making the case that AI can never truly replace human-made music.

The photos of baby Jude and family are captioned: "Hey Jude 🩵 3.13.26" and include a full carousel of the new family's first 10 days together.

The photo lineup chronicling Jude's arrival include a few delicious newborn closeups and a very lovely sparkly "J" necklace (was this a new mama gift?), as well a precious shot of new dad Charlie giving Jude a bottle in a sunny room. There's also a shot of the proud parents' collection of Polaroids from Jude's first days. These include a lovely Polaroid of the new mom, some shots with loved ones, and a shot with handwriting that says, "He drank over 30ML of formula! A new record. 3/14/2026."

One other noteworthy shot shows Puth holding up his phone over baby Jude in a hospital bassinet and reads: "Playing Jude 'In My Life' by the Beatles 3/14/26."

Puth and Sansone announced the pregnancy in October 2025 via Puth's "Changes" music video. Check it out around the 2:28 mark.

Big congrats to the lucky new parents. There's, no doubt, going to be a lot of music in this kid's life. In fact, there already is.

Good Morning America's Sam Championhas been under the weather recently. The popular meteorologist recently shared a health update from his hospital bed to let fans know what is going on and ultimately, that he will be just fine.

On Sunday, Mar. 22, Champion shared a photo of himself looking cheerful as he waved to the camera while relaxing in a hospital gown, hooked up to monitors. The message he wrote has since been updated.

In the caption, he wrote, "Thank you Dr. Stam Lerakis and Dr.sharma and the WONDERFUL team of nurses at @mountsinaimedicalcenter Fuster Heart Hospital ! Many of you know I had a nuclear stress test last Thursday. And we found some things that needed to be taken care of so today. I went in to the cardiac catheterization laboratory….. and we took care of it. Thanks to these procedures. I am well and expected to make a full recovery.❤️"

The health update came after Champion initially shared a photo of himself in a hospital bed on his Instagram Stories, understandably worrying his faithful fans. This isn't the first time he has kept everyone updated during a health scare. Previously, Champion shared images after dealing with a skin cancer scare and used his experience to warn others.

The fan-favorite weatherman's hospital stay came just days after he and his Good Morning America co-stars took a trip south to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, for a special beachside broadcast that had them enjoying local culture and shooting segments from Ipanema beach.

Champion shared openly about the trip, giving fans a close-up look at the incredible views from the hotel, walks on the beach alongside Robin Roberts, the gondolas that take tourists above the scenery for an incredible view, and a peek at the massive Christ the Redeemer statue that overlooks Rio de Janeiro.

Now, it's time for the Kentucky native to rest up and recover from his recent procedures so we can see him back in action on the ABC morning show.

After more than two decades of family fun, the Andretti Thrill Park has officially shut its doors, leaving us with a reminder of how quickly the theme park landscape is changing.

Located in Melbourne, Florida, the park had been a staple for locals and tourists since opening in 1999. Known for its go-kart tracks, mini golf, arcade games, and family-friendly rides, it offered a more laid-back, affordable alternative to Florida’s mega-resorts.

However, after 27 years, the property had simply aged. Maintenance costs were rising, and the land itself had become far more valuable than the park operating on it. 

Ultimately, the decision came down to real estate economics. The 16+ acre site will be redeveloped into housing, including hundreds of apartment units aimed at meeting growing demand in the area. “It’s simply that the facility is 27 years old. It requires a lot of maintenance, and it was time to look at what the future holds,” said Eddie Hamann, the owner of Andretti Thrill Park.

It’s a bittersweet ending: a profitable business closing not because it failed, but because the land beneath it became too valuable to ignore.

A Bigger Trend in Theme Park Closures

Unfortunately, the shutdown of Andretti Thrill Park isn’t an isolated case, but rather a part of a broader trend reshaping the amusement industry.

Across the U.S., smaller regional parks are increasingly being sold off or repurposed. In California, the major park California Great America is already slated to close by 2027 after its land was sold for redevelopment. 

The pattern is clear:

• Aging parks face rising maintenance costs
• Land values increase, especially in fast-growing regions
• Developers step in with more profitable alternatives

In short, nostalgia doesn’t always beat real estate.

What made Andretti Thrill Park special wasn’t massive roller coasters or cutting-edge tech, it was accessibility. It was the kind of place families could visit for a few hours instead of committing to an expensive, multi-day vacation. With attractions like go-karts, laser tag, and mini golf, it catered to a wide range of ages without the overwhelming scale of larger parks. 

For many families on Florida’s Space Coast, it was a go-to spot for birthdays, weekend outings, and school trips.  Its closure leaves a gap, not just in entertainment options, but in the kind of casual, local fun that big theme parks don’t always provide.

What Tourists Can Do Instead

If you’re visiting Florida and looking for similar experiences, you still have plenty of options, especially if you want that same mix of casual fun and family-friendly attractions.

1. Go-Kart & Indoor Entertainment Centers: Andretti-branded indoor karting locations still operate across the U.S., offering a more modern version of the same experience, with racing, arcades, and interactive games. 

2. Classic Florida theme parks: If you’re willing to go bigger, destinations like Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort offer world-class rides, but at a higher cost and time commitment.

3. Smaller local attractions: Mini golf courses, beachside arcades, and family entertainment centers are scattered across Florida’s coastlines.

4. Non-theme park activities: Florida’s appeal goes far beyond rides. From beaches to wildlife tours, many travelers are now mixing traditional attractions with more relaxed experiences.

The closure of Andretti Thrill Park highlights a growing reality: even beloved attractions aren’t immune to changing economics.

As land values rise and consumer expectations evolve, smaller parks are increasingly disappearing or transforming. But while one chapter ends, Florida remains one of the most dynamic travel destinations in the world.

As much as we want to finish every single book in the world, there are some that have to be added to the “DNF” pile. That’s “Did Not Finish” pile, in case you’re new to reading. While there will be some out there who say it’s never okay to not finish a book, it totally is!

The problem for Goodreads users is that there wasn’t an easy way to mark a book as “DNF,” and it’s something that everyone has been asking for. At long last, the shelf has been added.

Goodreads Finally Adds a ‘DNF’ Shelf

Like you would add a book to the “Want to Read,” “Reading,” and “Read” shelves, it is now possible to add to a “DNF” shelf. This is being rolled out slowing, and Goodreads says that if you don’t see it just yet, you will shortly. It only added on my account in the last couple of days, despite the roll-out starting on March 12, 2026.

It is more specifically titled “Did Not Finish,” making it clear to everyone who is new to the system or to the reading lingo in general. The best thing is that you can update your progress, so you know when exactly you put the book down. If you do want to pick it up again at a later date and try to get through it, you’ll know either where to pick up from or where you need to get past to see if it gets any better.

It will even be possible to customize your Reading Challenges. As long as you have an updated progress on the book, these will count toward your reading goals, so you don’t need to feel like you’ve wasted your time.

Customized Lists Will Be Folded Into the ‘Did Not Finish’ Shelf

For years, readers have had to create their own custom shelf for books that they haven’t finished. Goodreads understands how time consuming that is, so it’s decided to fold any of those custom-created shelves that make sense to the system into the “Did Not Finish” shelf.

Goodreads shares that the following will be automatically folded in: “did-not-finish,” “dnf,” “abandoned,” “unfinished,” “didn-t-finish,” and “dropped.” Anything else you may need to move across automatically.

This is a gradual roll-out, but it is coming! Make sure you have the most updated version of the app.

Pamela Anderson's son, Brandon Thomas Lee, is so handsome.

Lee, 29, who is Anderson's son with former Motley Crue drummer Tommy Lee, can be spotted hanging out with his stunning mother, 58, in a new video for her skincare line, Sonsie Skin. Anderson, of course, looks younger than ever in the video, so we're guessing her skincare routine is pretty legitimate! The actress, who rose to stardom on Baywatch and earned critical acclaim for her role in The Last Showgirl, has gained popularity for ditching makeup these days. Sporting a bare face and knee-high boots, the blonde beauty sits next to her handsome son as they read reviews from her skincare line.

What Does Brandon Thomas Lee Do Professionally?

Last year, Anderson launched And-Her-Sons Productions, a production company alongside her sons. (She's also the mom to Dylan Jagger Lee.) Deadline reported that the group will bring one of Anderson's most iconic characters, Barb Wire, back to life in a TV series from UCP and Dark Horse Entertainment. Originally based on Dark Horse Comics’ 1990s comic book character, the series will serve as the company’s first project.

On his Instagram page, Lee shared how excited he was to bring the character his mother brought to the big screen back to life.

"Barb has become an iconic, celebrated character and we are thrilled to partner with Universal and Dark Horse to give her a second chance on-screen.  ‘Barb Wire’ was my mother’s first lead role in a major feature and the perfect project to launch my family’s And-Her-Sons production company. We are committed to Barb’s legacy and ensuring she gets the moment she deserves. DON’T CALL ME BABE!" he wrote.

Yes! Anderson made it clear back in December that she really was romantically involved with Liam Neeson, her beloved co-star in the new installment of The Naked Gun. However, she made it clear that their romance didn't come until the cameras were turned off.

“If you must know, Liam and I were romantically involved for a short while but only after we finished filming,” she told PEOPLE, noting that the duo spent an “intimate week” together at his home in upstate New York. “I had my own room. Our assistants both came; even family stopped by.”

In recent days, passengers at major U.S. airports have seen a new, unexpected federal presence. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents have begun appearing in terminals at airports like Hartsfield‑Jackson Atlanta International Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, Newark Liberty International Airport near New York and airports in Phoenix and New Orleans. This move is happening as Transportation Security Administration (TSA) staffing has sharply declined because of a partial federal government shutdown. Many TSA officers are working without pay and some are staying home because they cannot afford to work without being paid.

President Donald Trump announced the deployment as a response to long security lines and staffing shortages. Officials say ICE agents will assist by performing support functions, such as crowd management, line control and checking identification at the exits of secure areas. They will work alongside TSA officers to keep lines moving.

Travelers checking in for flights this week may notice uniformed federal agents in places where they do not normally work. One Reddit poster said they saw about ten officers at a security checkpoint earlier Monday morning, though “they are definitely not acting in any TSA related role — literally just standing around, which makes sense because they are not trained to do that.”

Why This Matters to Travelers

For people who fly frequently, this shift creates both practical concerns and emotional responses. Even with ICE personnel present, long waits for airline security persist. Major airports are advising travelers to arrive up to four hours early because staffing gaps for screened checkpoints remain, and no immediate fix has materialized that would speed up the security process.

TSA officers are trained specifically for aviation security. TSA screeners spend months learning how to detect explosives, weapons and other threats designed to evade airport security systems, and they receive ongoing instruction and certification unique to airport checkpoints. In contrast, ICE agents are trained primarily for immigration enforcement and related law enforcement duties. While some ICE career tracks include multi‑month federal law enforcement courses, many recruits complete shorter programs focused on immigration law, removal operations and related enforcement work rather than aviation threat detection.

Security Risk or Temporary Solution?

This move is controversial among airline staff, security experts and civil liberties organizations. Here are perspectives that matter to people who travel:

Security Experts Warn Against Blurring Roles

Airport security is traditionally handled by TSA because of its specialized training and focus on aviation threats. Critics argue that stationing law enforcement officers who are not trained in aviation screening could divert attention from the core mission of detecting prohibited items and maintaining consistency in process. The TSA Workers Union, representing screeners themselves, has been a leading voice on this concern.

Officials Say ICE Agents Will Not Replace TSA Functions

Tom Homan, a senior immigration official, said that the agents will be positioned where they can help relieve TSA of non‑screening duties so that trained screeners can remain focused on security. This includes tasks such as managing lines or monitoring exits, not operating security technology or making decisions about whether an item is permitted in carry‑on luggage.

Critics Raise Civil Liberties Concerns

Some civil liberties advocates worry that travelers might be uncertain about their rights when interacting with immigration agents in airports. In reaction to the deployment plan, civil liberties groups have openly criticized the move. The American Civil Liberties Union released a statement expressing concern that deploying ICE to airport terminals could blur lines between immigration enforcement and passenger screening, potentially creating confusion and leading to rights concerns for travelers.

What Travelers Can Expect in the Coming Days

Right now, ICE agents are being deployed as a temporary response to a funding impasse that has affected TSA staffing. Travelers should be prepared for the following:

• Security wait times are still longer than normal. Arrive early and check airline notices before leaving for the airport.
• ICE agents may be visible in terminals, particularly near exits and crowd control areas. They are not currently replacing TSA screeners at checkpoints.
• Be aware of your rights. If approached by law enforcement about immigration status, understand your legal rights and do not assume a security screening role.
• Watch for policy changes. Because this situation is tied to ongoing political negotiations over funding and department priorities, operational roles could change quickly.

For travelers, this moment is a reminder that airport operations are highly complex systems. When one part of that system is strained, even well‑intended fixes can have broader impacts on how people experience travel and how comfortable they feel moving through secure spaces.

The York family is in freefall. Between Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s February arrest, the virtual disappearance of Sarah Ferguson and whispered allegations that Princess Beatrice’s marriage to Edoardo Mapelli Mozziis on the rocks, the York’s are currently living through the kind of scrutiny that would break most people.

The rumor mill went into overdrive following a Mail on Sundayreport alleging a growing "distance" between the couple. The narrative was almost too convenient: a property developer husband constantly jetted off to Florida, a princess laying low in London, and the shadow of a family scandal that refuses to dim. However, those closest to "Bea and Edo" aren't buying the split rumors.

The reality of the alleged distance seems to be more logistical than emotional, but in the royal world, perception is everything. As the CEO of Banda Property, Edoardo has been clocking serious air miles lately, with recent stints on Fisher Island and Palm Beach. Meanwhile, Beatrice has been holding down the fort in London with their young children, Sienna and Athena.

"The only thing Bea and Edo are navigating are their busy jobs and looking after their children!" a friend of the couple told HELLO!. "Recent reports that things aren't good between them are not true at all. The only distance between them recently has been physical distance because of work!"

The outlet points to the couple's recent outing at Eel Sushi Bar in Notting Hill. They spent two hours inside before being picked up in a Porsche, a quiet signal that while the world outside is in chaos, their home life remains intact.

While the marriage may be solid, the personal crisis Beatrice and her sister, Eugenie, are facing is mounting. Since their father was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office, the sisters have become collateral damage. Sources suggest that Edoardo, whose luxury brand relies on an image of impeccable taste, has been desperate to keep his business insulated from the fallout at Royal Lodge.

It is a difficult balance to strike. Beatrice was seen riding through Windsor with her disgraced father just days before his official exile, a move that signaled her personal loyalty remains unshaken, even as her public role shrinks.

The fallout is already showing up on the royal calendar. Beatrice and Eugenie, who have long been staples of the royal rhythm, are being phased out of the public calendar. Reports indicate that neither will appear in the carriage procession or the royal box at Ascot this June. For two women who have always bridged the gap between private citizens and "The Firm," this sudden invisibility sends a message from the Palace: you’re not invited..

Beatrice finds herself in an impossible position: the loyal daughter of a man in legal trouble, and the wife of a man building a global empire that cannot afford a scandal.
