1976 Box Office Hit Ranked Among Best Horror Films Still Holds Up 50 Years Later

Thu, 05/14/2026 - 10:37am

The year 1976 saw the release of numerous renowned films that are still celebrated today: Rocky, Network, All the President's Men, Taxi Driver.

The list goes on, and it also includes a memorable horror film that spawned quite the franchise. Despite mixed reviews upon its theatrical release, The Omen became a box office smash, earning more than $60 million in the U.S. and becoming one of the highest-grossing moves that year.

Here's the official synopsis of the groundbreaking supernatural hit, which now holds an 86% average critics' rating on Rotten Tomatoes after more favorable retrospective reviews were offered:

"American diplomat Robert (Gregory Peck) adopts Damien (Harvey Stephens) when his wife, Katherine (Lee Remick), delivers a stillborn child. After Damien's first nanny hangs herself, Father Brennan (Patrick Troughton) warns Robert that Damien will kill Katherine's unborn child. Shortly thereafter, Brennan dies and Katherine miscarries when Damien pushes her off a balcony. As more people around Damien die, Robert investigates Damien's background and realizes his adopted son may be the Antichrist."

The film helped launch the big-screen career of Richard Donner, who would go on to direct other high-profile films such as Superman (1978), The Goonies and Lethal Weapon.

The impact of The Omen spreads far and wide, with the popular filmmaking website NoFilmSchool.com boldly claiming that it "set the satanic horror standard."

"In addition to establishing the powerful “evil child” horror archetype, The Omen blended biblical elements with pop culture," per an article published on the website just last year. "Its approach showed filmmakers how to leverage popular beliefs about the Devil to craft compelling good-versus-evil narratives."

The film was remade and released in 2006, amid the original's 30th anniversary, this time starring Julia Stiles and Liev Schreiber, though it was no match for the source material. The latest addition to the franchise was The First Omen in 2024, a prequel to The Omen.

HGTV's Jasmine Roth Is Pregnant With Baby No. 3: 'Completely Shocked'

Thu, 05/14/2026 - 10:37am

HGTV star Jasmine Roth just announced she's pregnant with baby No. 3—on the heels of revealing a brand-new show, Roast My Rental, with comedian Leslie Jones.

On Thursday, May 14, Jasmine, the host of Help! I Wrecked My House, shared with People that she and her husband, Brett Roth, are expecting their third child.

Jasmine, 41, explained that she found out she was pregnant on the Monday after the Super Bowl when she was packing for a snowboarding trip to Japan. She thought she should take a test before they left "just to be safe."

"And sure enough, it was positive. The lines were super faint, but they were there," she recounted. "I was completely shocked and instantly emotional."

Jasmine and Brett are already parents of two daughters, Hazel, 6, and Darla, 1. Because it took her so long to get pregnant with their second child, she said they weren't expecting to see a positive pregnancy test so soon after they started trying to conceive.

"We needed medical intervention," Jasmine said of getting pregnant with Darla. "So a spontaneous pregnancy was the last thing I expected. I immediately ran downstairs to tell my husband, and he had the exact same reaction — total disbelief mixed with excitement."

Rick Devens Reveals What Shocked Him Most About His 'Survivor 50' Feud With Joe — And Where They Stand Now (Exclusive)

Thu, 05/14/2026 - 10:35am

Survivor 50 is here! Every week, Parade's Mike Bloom will bring you interviews with the castaway most recently voted off the island.

"I always feel lucky."

One of the final quotes from Rick Devens on Survivor 50 is a perfect microcosm of his general attitude across 22 tumultuous days. Of course, there is the fact that the Edge of Extinction standout staked his entire game on a coin flip, adding quite a bit of coin to the overall prize fund. But the former reporter gave the scoop preseason that he was originally told he would be an alternate for the milestone season. And so just the fact he was here in Fiji was a blessing, a freedom to play no holds barred and, most importantly, find the joy. And, while he spent his last night in the game pontificating on the meaning of the stars dotting the sky, we witnessed a true star of Season 50 get snuffed out shortly thereafter.

Despite feeling he was playing with house money going into the game, Rick was still cognizant that he needed to change his play style if he wanted another deep run. And so he spent the first half of the game staying away from the idol hunts, sitting on his hands. Admittedly, those hands did come out when he was presented an opportunity courtesy of Christian Hubicki, hiding a fake idol at Tribal Council to pull out in a pinch. But Rick was more set on accruing relationships rather than idols this time. Unfortunately, perhaps the relationship he was most known for this season was far from positive. Rick and Joe Hunter's approaches to Survivor are like oil (not blood) and water. And that came to a head early on Cila, as he had a fiery argument with the fire captain that would bear out for the rest of the game.

Fortunately, Rick entered the merge with many more friends than enemies, as his tactics to lay low had gotten him into a solid spot in an enormous postmerge. But it all went up in smoke once he reached into the Tribal Council fire pit one fateful night. Knowing he and Aubry Bracco were being floated around due to the "Double Duos" twist, he grabbed his fake idol, believing the slate could simply be wiped clean tomorrow. Unfortunately, many others in the game did not see it that way. From their perspective, Rick had unnecessarily drawn attention to himself and now seemingly had an idol. And so, he suddenly found himself a familiar position: On the outside, public enemy number one.

As Rick espoused, however, the last thing you want him to do is know he's on the bottom. Because that's when the fireworks begin. Once again feeling in danger going into Tribal Council, Rick quickly commandeered the evening by throwing Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick and Jonathan Young under the bus. But his time as the star of the show was only beginning, as MrBeast entered the fray to present him with an offer he couldn't refuse. Given the chance to risk instant elimination to earn immunity, an idol and an extra million dollars to the prize fund, risky Rick jumped at the opportunity. And the Season 50 50/50 turned out well for him indeed. Over the course of mere minutes, Rick had gone from a dead man walking with a fake idol to the safest person in the game with a real idol.

Despite his game-changing choice of heads, Rick couldn't use the opportunity to get ahead in the game. While he guaranteed his safety the next round by playing his idol, he lost his number one ally in Emily Flippen. His back was against the wall, and unlike the Kool-Aid Man, he couldn't bust through it. His ordinary escape routes in idols and immunity wins were no longer options. And so he took a literal shot in the dark, hoping another gamble would work out in his favor. Alas, this would be Rick Devens' final form of Tribal Council shenanigans of the season. But he still wallked out with a trademark grin plastered across his face, and his head held high, looking aloft at the stars to light his way out of the game.

Now out of the game, Rick talks with Parade about his complicated relationship with Joe, how much that fake idol changed his game, and the emotional roller coaster of staking his entire game on MrBeast and a single coin flip.

It's safe to say you felt on the ropes during your last day in the game. Were you always going to play your Shot in the Dark? Or did you feel like Tiffany's blindside of Rizo had legs?
I was absolutely, at Tribal, determined that I was going to play that Shot. There was a time during the day when Tiff was open to this plan. And it was so funny, because that all came about [because] Tiff and Jonathan were really pretty annoyed with Joe for not taking them on the reward. Because Rizo had had a lot of food options at the auction, and Cirie, famously, was eating so much at the auction. She was regurgitating a little bit. So me and my mischievous self, I'm really playing into that. I'm like, "Yeah, didn't Rizo not drink that protein shake, Jonathan? You probably would have liked that." And so I was really hoping that they'd get that annoyed.

And so when Tiff floated this, I was on board, and Aubry was kind of the swing. And Aubry and I had really gotten a deeper relationship when we were tied together. But clearly I was more into that relationship than Aubey was. [Laughs.] As we watch it back, we see that she was loyal to me then, but not really loyal to me after that. And I think that's better in gameplay. As much as I say, "I don't care if you play with honor and integrity," and that's true, I'm super loyal. I'm not going to write Christian's name down; I'm not going to write Emily's name down. And Aubry became that, until she wasn't. And I was never going to write Cirie's name down until she had to pick a side. And she ended up not picking our side, which I think was probably the right move.

So there did seem like there could be momentum. And Tiff even told me, l"You've got to stop looking for the idol, dude. You are freaking everybody out,. You've got to chill if we're going to make this work." And I did, and that's when I'm in the hammock. And finally, I went to Tiff and was like, "I don't think this is going to work. I'm going to go look for the idol." And she was like, "I think you're right. Go for it." Because at that point, she wants me to find the idol, then her plan gets done anyway. So I love Tiff. I love that she tried to make it happen. But by the time I got to Tribal, I knew it's the Shot in the Dark. And dude, I was riding so high from the MrBeast thing, I'm like, "It'll probably hit!"

Well, let's talk about another moment where people were freaking out around you having an idol. It seemed like the pivot point of your game came when you pulled out the fake you had hidden during the "Double Duos" Tribal Council. What led you to do that in that moment, and what was your reaction to how people were responding to it?
So honestly, I was so in love with the idea of playing this fake idol. I mean, Christian and I had done this amazing heist where he falls, and we plant a fake idol at Tribal. So it's a nightmare to think I'm going to go home without using it. So I felt very at risk that night. I'm still not convinced that I wouldn't go home. When I talk about revisionist history, dude, you know that people will say things now that they didn't necessarily feel there. I mean, everyone's like, "We knew it was fake." And it's like, well, the whole next episode you're still acting like it's real!

So A, I did feel at risk. B, the idea of going home without playing it was a nightmare. And then it's a two-for-one. I can save Aubry, and I can save myself. Whereas the other nightmare scenario is like, okay, we wait a week, maybe Christian and I are the targets. One of us grabs the fake idol, and it gets the other voted out. That would be awful if I was the reason Christian went home, because I got the fake idol that we both planted.

So I knew Christian's basically safe at this duo thing because he's tied to Jonathan. So I just felt like it was the perfect moment to do it. And again, in my mind, I'm like, "Okay, I can hold onto it. For all they know, I have a real idol because I can't play it tonight. I've got to come up with an excuse why I'm not playing it." But I thought it was just the right moment to go to it. And I thought it was so interesting how many people criticized or Monday-morning quarterbacked how I went for it. It's like, guys, it worked!

Like people doing impressions of you?
Jealous, jealous. They wish they could come up with a move like this. [Laughs.] But no, it was so fun, and I loved it.

Let's get into the person who ended up doing that impression of you: Joe. It's clear the two of you just have different opinions of how to play Survivor. And we see this rocky relationship all the way back from an early argument with Cila all the way to last week's episode, when he said what you were doing at that Stephenie Tribal Council was "inappropriate" and "disgusting." Talk to me about your perspective on this dynamic.
So before I get into our dynamic out there, I just want you to know I love Joe. We talked a lot during the season, sending apologies back and forth. He's a dad; I respect him. I'm looking forward to our kids playing together at the finale. Love Joe. Any fan who meets Joe will not be disappointed. He's a great guy, and he's going to give you a great experience.

It's a real shame that things took a turn, because I think I showed during the season, as much as I'm all about playing a deceptive game and having fun and doing all these things, I'm super loyal. I'm never writing Christian's name down. I'm never writing Emily's name down, even in a revote when I know it's failed. That's just not the way I'm going to be. And I think that sends a message to the jury about the way you're playing. That's much more helpful than going back to camp and saying, "Well, I didn't write your name down the second time." People don't care. You tried to write me down the first time! I don't care about that.

So I do think if we could have gotten back on the same page, I could have been a really good ally to Joe. And I will say I was surprised during the season at how much I was on his mind. I'm not a bad person because I'm playing a game hard. I keep all my commentary to gameplay, and he does too. By and large, I think we have that in common.

But I think our difference in opinion is I feel like, as an ally, I'm taking care of you, if I'm protecting you, and if I'm never coming after you, if I'm looking out for our interest. But I don't think that means I need to tell you all my secrets. I had planned to hide a fake idol before Christian found the Billie Eilish Boomerang Idol, and [then] he found that. So, okay, I told him, because we can use that wrapper, and it's great. I still don't tell Emily and Cirie, who at that point I'm totally loyal with, because it doesn't affect them. So that's fine to me. But I think Joe, from watching the season, it's like he really wants you to tell him all the secrets and be filled in, which is a fine perspective.

But, yeah, we kind of hugged it out on that beach and said we're good after that argument. And clearly, we were not good on either of our parts. [Laughs.] But that being said, if I think if I felt the same way Joe had, I would have voted him out and kept Genevieve at that one split. But I felt likeJoe's such an honest guy that when he tells me, "We're good," we're good. I just did not realize that I'd gotten under his skin as much as I had as a game player. But I really have a lot of respect for Joe. It's just a shame that one tiny little thing of bad gameplay on my part, coming up with a stupid lie, it shows you how much of a ripple effect that can have throughout a season.

The thing he assigns this "inappropriate" label to is this MrBeast Tribal Council where Stephenie goes home. We need to go through the big hits of perhaps the pinnacle of your Survivor career. It seems like you immediately sit down and blow up the game, saying Stephenie and Jonathan approached you and Aubry about targeting Ozzy. Was that true? And did you do this because you felt you were in danger going into tribal?
Okay, let me take it step by step. It's 100% true, and I felt like that was a real key, to be honest. Like, "Ozzy, I was comfortable voting for you also. Rizo, I threw your name out." I thought that was a real key in my strategy of letting people know that I was being honest. Whereas Stephenie, her response was, "Oh, I never did anything, I never did anything. I never did anything." And that's why I say, "I think thou doth protest too much." It's like, now I'm just trying to be quiet and let you sink your own ship.

And yeah, it was because I thought that I was at risk. I thought for sure I was the number one target going into that Tribal. But I didn't think, as I'm trying to put myself in other people's shoes, that getting rid of me was good for Cirie or Tiff or Rizo or Ozzy, and certainly not for Aubry and Emily. Because I'm a heat-seeking missile at Joe and Jonathan and Steph at this point. Because they tease me in on this plan, and then they're like, "Oh, well, it didn't work out. We'll just cut Devens."

So again, I think it was a great move. I'm very proud of. That's almost what I'm most proud of all season. Because, yeah, the fake idol was a big, flashy thing. The coin toss, I love the way I went at it, but it's a big risk. Whereas this was a plan. "I'm going to go in and I'm going to try to turn the tables." And I'm not sure to this day whether or not it would have worked. Because I don't trust people's revisionist history. What you're saying now is not necessarily what you were feeling out there. But again, nothing personal came out of my mouth. I didn't say, "Oh, so and so's a bad person" or anything. It was strictly gameplay. They told me too much information. Now I'm sharing with you the information. And just like with the fake idol, I try to make it a big splash and then kind of sink back and let other people work it out. As soon as Tiff jumped in, as soon as Cirie started asking follow-ups, it's like, "Alright, I got the ball rolling. Let's see where this goes."

So I don't think it was disgusting. I thought it was great. That's exactly the type of gameplay I like to root for on Survivor: Big, bold moves. I'm not going out quiet. I'm going out fighting.

Well, you were able to sink back soon after this because you earn immunity through taking the "MrBeast Super Beware Advantage" and flipping that coin. Walk me through the emotional roller coaster of those moments, from jumping up at the chance to do it to the coin landing on heads to then having to immerse yourself back in the game during a live Tribal Council.
Well, so as I'm going up to flip the coin, I gotta tell you, my confidence was stupid! [Laughs.] I was just so sure that it was gonna hit. And I was at peace with the fact that, if this is the way I go out, no one in 50 seasons has gone out by a coin flip. It's fine, they can say they didn't vote me out. But I was sure it was gonna hit, Mike. I had no doubt my mind I was landing this, which is insane. Looking back on it, like, "What are you talking about?! It's 50/50!" But also, as much as I thought I'd turn the tables on Steph, I wasn't positive. So I say out there it's a better chance than the Shot in the Dark. So I was very much at peace with it. I was ready to roll.

And then when it hit, I'm over the moon. Even Jeff's like, "Alright, well, now we got to get back in." And I'm like, "Jeff, can I have the coin?" He's like, "Devens, I'm trying to do something here! We can talk about that after." Like, "Sorry, Jeff. I had adrenaline just pumping through my body."

Did you get to keep the coin?
I have not gotten the coin. And I asked for it again at the end of the game. And there's more than one coin apparently, because they knew it would be such a big moment. I'm like, "You've got to give me that coin."

But when I go back to the bench, in my mind, I've already done enough to put the target on Steph. I know that the other person's probably Aubry, which I don't want to go. But whenever I make a big splash, I try to sink back, and that includes going back to camp. I'm not mouthing off; I'm trying to shrink back. The next morning is the calmest Devens you'll get! [Laughs.] I'm leaving camp, maybe I'll go dance away from you, but that's not in front of anybody. I'm trying to sink back in the shadows — always unsuccessfully, obviously. [Laughs.] But no, from that point, I just felt like I'd done enough. I probably won't even have a vote; I assumed Steph would steal my vote. So, yeah, I was just riding high, going, "Wow, I'm safe tonight. I'm safe tomorrow night. This is great."

Well, I think that high is a representation of the general gratitude you had in every phase of this game. I know you spoke to me about being an alternate forthis season at one point, which gave you this freedom, knowing there was one time when you wouldn't be out here. And I think, as much as you talked about looking up at the stars and seeing those who support you from miles away, we got the chance to look at a star ourselves light up our screens for 12 weeks.
Thank you, dude. You have such a way with words. You're such a poet. I love it. I never forgot that this was Season 50, and that I wanted to give the fans something special. And I never forgot all the players that wanted on 50 so badly and didn't get it, because I remember how much my heart hurt when they told me I was an alternate and I felt like I wasn't going to get on the show. So I never wanted a player at home to go, "Devens took a spot that was wasted."

One person's going to win the game, and I don't want anyone to have any doubt that was my focus. Even when I make a big target of myself, that's what happened on 38, and I almost got there. But I also will never be sitting in a Final Three and looking at zero votes not have anything to plead. That's just not going to be the way I play. If I become a target too early, I take great pride in being a target. [Laughs.] I think that means you're doing something that's putting people on edge.

Award-Winning Country Star Teases Epic ‘Sheriff Country’ Stint

Thu, 05/14/2026 - 10:33am

Country music fan favorite Maren Morris is set to appear on Sheriff Country as the first season of the Fire Country spin-off nears the end.

As Parade reported, Morris has been tapped to play Hazel, Skye’s (Amanda Arcuri) sponsor, on the Friday, May 15 episode of the CBS drama.

In the wake of learning that her grandfather, Wes (W. Earl Brown), founded the illegal weed grower’s co-op that got in bed with the cartel and watching her mother, Mickey (Morena Baccarin), arrest him, Skye relapses.

Sheriff Country fans know that when the season kicked off, Skye was newly out of rehab. Although she’s been on the straight and narrow all season, that’s about to change, which means Hazel is needed more than ever.

The official Instagram for Sheriff Countryposted a video of Morris on set filming the show, teasing her character.

“I play Hazel, and she is Skye’s NA sponsor, and she’s very compassionate and soft and funny, but she’s also like you cannot mess with her. She’s very no B.S. No frills. You can’t get much past her,” she expressed.

Morris also revealed what it was like filming the hit CBS drama.

“I think the most exciting, cool thing I have learned is it’s fun to be on set. I think once you know your lines, you kind of just get to like, play. And every take is like a new surprise, and you just listen to your co-stars and enjoy it. I think I was psyching myself up that it was going to be really heavy or serious, but it’s actually been quite the opposite,” the country singing sensation shared.

Sheriff Country Season 1 Episode 19 is titled “Compromised.” It focuses on the fallout from Wes’ bombshell, as well as on Mickey and her team working to bring down the company, pressuring Edgewater residents to sell their land.

Fleetwood Mac’s ‘Rumours’ Reaches Wild Milestone On Spotify Nearly 50 Years After Its Release

Thu, 05/14/2026 - 10:22am

Fleetwood Mac's "Rumors" record may have been released in 1977, but it's had a whole new life on Spotify over the last two decades.

According to data recently released by the streaming platform, celebrating it's 20th anniversary, the album was streamed 8.3 billion times since the music hub's 2006 launch.

The record, which brought fans iconic songs like "Go Your Own Way" and "Dreams" was also discovered to be Spotify's oldest of its all-time top 100 albums. 

View the original article to see embedded media.

And while it saw immediate success upon its release, as its spent a record 31 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, according to Billboard.com, it stayed popular for decades to come, transcending the way music fans tuned in — from records to streaming.

"Dreams" also saw a resurgence in its own right in 2020, following a viral TikTok where a man was riding a skateboard and drinking cranberry juice in a video that was soundtracked to the song. The band's 2023 release of 'Rumors: Live' also saw major success on the Billboard chart.

However at the time of its recording, interband relationships were falling apart. Stevie Nicksand Lindsey Buckingham were ending their relationship, while Christine and John McVie were divorcing — a factor that Nicks said years later, played a part in the album's success.

"Everybody was breaking up and of course that always adds for really great songwriting," she told Red Carpet News TV in 2013. "There was kind of a passion thing that was going on and some anger, but still we never let that get in the way, that was never brought into the studio, but what was brought into the studio was great words, great poems, great music and everybody dug it."

"Even though we were all kind of in chaos everybody was like, 'Well that was great,'" she added. "That'll never happen again, that was a moment we can never recreate."

Following 'Rumours' on Spotify's oldest all-time top 100 albums is Michael Jackson’s 'Thriller' from 1982 and Nirvana’s 'Nevermind' from 1991.

The streaming platform was first founded in 2006 and officially launched in the United States in 2011.

Disneyland Releasing Patriotic New Food Items for Fourth of July Celebration

Thu, 05/14/2026 - 10:15am

It's become almost a given that Disney will introduce new limited-time treats to celebrate a major holiday.

Whether looking at their limited-edition offerings for Halloween or Christmas, there's no question that Disney's iconic theme parks do seasonal celebrations right. Case in point with the upcoming arrival of several new food items planned for Disneyland, all of which will tie into the country's historic 250th anniversary this Fourth of July.

According to a new post on Instagram, Disneyland is set to roll out a variety of patriotic meals, snacks and other treats for the upcoming holiday. These new treats include:

  • Red, White & Blue Punch: a refreshingly sweet beverage with red and white layers topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream. (Available at Smokejumpers Grill.)
  • Apple Pie Churro: a generously sized churro topped with apple pie filling, whipped cream and a caramel drizzle. (Available at Willie's Churros.)
  • S'mores Marshmallow Wand: a marshmallow stick coated in chocolate and topped with crushed graham cracker, vanilla drizzle and red, white and blue star-shaped sprinkles. (Available at various candy locations throughout Disneyland Resort.)
  • Rocket Soda: a thirst-quenching beverage made with Sprite, blue raspberry syrup, whipped cream and cherry-flavored popping pearls. (Available at Refreshment Corner.)
  • Patriotic Mickey Caramel Apple: an eye-catching caramel apple topped with blue frosting and white sprinkles and Mickey-shaped ears. (Available at various candy locations throughout Disneyland Resort.)

As delicious as the new treats sound, most fans' attention has been centered around a collectible new popcorn bucket featuring the likeness of The Muppets' Sam the Eagle. Available at most popcorn carts through Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park, the new bucket features Sam in Uncle Sam-themed attire, and is available only while supplies last.

As expected, the announcement of these food items and the Sam the Eagle collectible has been met with significant acclaim among fans.

"Pleaaaaase bring Sam to WDW!!" one account commented on Instagram.

"Hurray for exciting new treats ahead!" another user shared.

The new Disney-themed treats arrive at Disneyland on May 21, while the collectible popcorn bucket will debut later in the summer.

Actor Matt Dillon Has an Exciting Side Career Hardly Anyone Knows About

Thu, 05/14/2026 - 10:11am

Actor Matt Dillon may be known for his diverse film roles, but it turns out he also has a thriving second career.

Dillon, 62, kicked off his career in the early '80s in films like Little Darlings and The Outsiders. As the decade went on, he began to earn acclaim with roles in films like Gus Van Sant's Drugstore Cowboy, in which he played a drug addict who robbed pharmacies, and 1992's Singles, where he personified the '90s grunge look. '90s classics like There's Something About Mary and Wild Things solidified his stardom, as have more recent films like Factotum and Crash. But in a unique twist on the actor's success, he recently revealed his true passion is his painting career.

Dillion sat down with The New York Times Style Magazine and revealed his second career as an artist. While he doesn't have any formal art training, he grew up surrounded by art and artists. As an adult, he took up painting during quiet times on movie sets and during breaks in hotel rooms. But it was just about ten years ago that the actor decided to delve into large-scale pieces and finally rented his first studio.

How Does Matt Dillon Feel About the 'Celebrity Artist' Stereotype?

In the NYT article, Dillon was asked if he thinks about being perceived as a celebrity painter.

“I like doing different things,” he replied. “I guess that can work for you or against you.”

The actor and artist continued, speaking about the desire of the world to pigeonhole people.

“[Some] people are always going to say, ‘You go over here in this little corner,’” he added. “The big struggles for me, and probably for a lot of artists, are control and freedom and discipline. The joy is when you accept the thing after you’ve wrestled with it for a long time.”

What's Next for Matt Dillon?

Don't worry about Dillon giving up acting, however. The actor is set to lead the upcoming Magnificent Seven series adaptation at MGM+, Variety confirmed in February. Dillon will play Chris Adams, the role originated by Yul Brynner in the original 1960 film.

Variety shared a description of Dillon's character, and it sounds like a doozie.

“Stoic, steady under pressure, and with an unflinching gaze that does most of the talking for him, Chris has no patience for hypocrisy or cruelty and holds fast to a quiet moral code rooted in fairness and restraint," the description reads.

Marie Callender’s Is Reportedly Launching 2 New Pies—Both Would Be Firsts for the Brand

Thu, 05/14/2026 - 10:11am

The "Pie Queens" at Marie Callender's are at it again.

The iconic bakery and restaurant brand is known for its homestyle cooking and ever-growing list of frozen pot pies, pasta dishes, casseroles, and, of course, its desserts, which include thaw-and-enjoy pies, ready-to-bake pies and even mini, single-serve pies.

Now, Parade has it on good word that the 78-year-old company is planning to release two new desserts this year, both of which appear to be the first-of-its-kind for Marie Callender's: Salted Caramel Apple and Cherry Berry hand pies.

Marie Callender's Rumored to Release New Hand Pie Collection

According to early reports, Marie Callender's all-new Hand Pies were introduced this past February during Conagra Brands' presentation in the annual Consumer Analyst Group of New York (CAGNY) conference.

While the brand hasn't publicly announced the new product, images of the items began circling on social media late last night with fans excitedly tagging their friends, family and loved ones in the post to alert them of the rumored drop.

Based on the photos, Marie Callender's new Hand Pies appear to be a new take on the brand's famous single-serve pies. Somewhat of a cross between a dessert empanada and a Hot Pocket, the treats appear to feature a pie crust shell that serves as the crunchy, structured pocket to hold all the warm, gooey, fruity fillings.

View this post on Instagram

Many details, including nutrition facts and when and where the new collection will be sold, are currently unclear. That said, the blogger in the know (CandyHunting) suggested it would be released this year for certain, and given their reputation for successfully predicting upcoming launches, we're confident in their reporting and hopeful to hear more about the release in the coming weeks, as both hand pies sound like late summer-early fall flavors to us.

Parade reached out to a Conagra Brands spokesperson for comment.

SPAM Dogs Just Launched, and This New Hot Dog With a Twist Has Fans Talking

Thu, 05/14/2026 - 9:53am

SPAM is introducing a brand-new, first-of-its-kind product just in time for summer grilling season! Plain frozen hot dogs? No way. Now you can get a SPAM Dog. That’s right, the classic pre-cooked shelf-stable luncheon meat is, in Hormel’s words, “stepping out of the can.”

What Is a SPAM Dog?

It’s all in the name. This new summer selection is exactly what it sounds like—a hot dog made from SPAM. The pork-based product has the same great taste SPAM connoisseurs already enjoy. But instead of cracking open a can and frying up slices on the stove, you can get the salty, savory flavor in a bun. 

Where Can You Get the New SPAM Dog?

Sadly, you won’t find this dog in your local grocery store. The item is currently only available to foodservice operators. And that means it’s not a direct-to-consumer option for the summer. But don’t worry. You can still get your hands (or rather, taste buds) on this kind of crazy creation.

While Hormel is already rolling out the delish dogs in some regional markets, it will officially debut at the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago. Haley Eggum, brand manager of SPAM, said, in a press release, “We’re excited to be rolling out the SPAM Dog and the opportunity it creates for foodservice operators to offer something both familiar and surprising.”

Eggum continued, “It’s a fresh new take on a hot dog with the unmistakable flavor that SPAM fans know and love.” 

Even though you can’t pick up a pack at Costco, Sam’s, or your other favorite retailer, you could find this taste treat at the ballpark. After all, what goes better with a day of baseball than a hot dog? And it looks like this summer, stadiums around the country will carry the SPAM Dog for the first time. 

Along with select stadiums such as CHS Field in St. Paul, Minnesota, and LMCU ballpark in Comstock, Michigan, this pork-packed pick is also coming to convenience chains, including Rutters in the Northeast and a handful of ABC and 7-Eleven stores. 

View this post on Instagram

So what do shoppers think about this mini masterpiece? When Hormel Foods announced the SPAM Dog on Instagram, customers had plenty to say. Comments on the post poured in, with fans saying, “Never needed a dog so bad!”, “Now you guys are getting crazy,” and “Ooh! Where can I get this gloriousness! I’m going pineapple slaw/relish with @trybachans BBQ sauce and King's Hawaiian buns.... Maybe with a smear of harissa!”

What Your Blood Pressure Risk Looks Like by Decade—and How To Keep Yours in Check

Thu, 05/14/2026 - 9:50am

High blood pressure isn’t something that happens overnight. It creeps up slowly and can even be decades in the making. Once blood pressure progresses from balanced to too high, you might not even realize it. Case in point: In the U.S., 11 million adults with high blood pressure don’t know they have it.

Since high blood pressure doesn’t usually have symptoms, it’s easy to brush it off as not a big deal. But that would be a huge mistake. When left untreated, high blood pressure can significantly increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure and chronic kidney disease. In fact, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, high blood pressure was a primary or contributing cause of 664,470 deaths in the U.S. in 2023, the most recent year for which data is available.

This is why it’s so important to know your risk, no matter how old (or young) you are. With this in mind, we talked to three cardiologists about what blood pressure risk looks like by decade and the best ways to keep it in check.  Even if you're on the younger side, this is worth reading, because high blood pressure in younger adults is becoming increasingly common.

What Your Blood Pressure Risk Looks Like by Decade, According to Cardiologists20s

“High blood pressure in your 20s used to be unusual. It's not anymore. I'm seeing more young patients with elevated readings, and when I do, I'm not dismissing it. Instead, I’m asking why,” says Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj, MD, FACC, an interventional cardiologist and functional medicine doctor.

While age is a significant risk factor for high blood pressure, if someone has high blood pressure in their 20s, this is not the cause. Instead, Dr. Bhojraj notes that the most common reasons for high blood pressure in your 20s are sleep deprivation, chronic stress, high energy drink consumption and a diet high in ultra-processed foods.

“If you're in your 20s and your blood pressure is elevated, that's your body waving a flag early. Pay attention to it,” Dr. Bhojraj says.

Related: The One Habit That Can Lower Your Blood Pressure Overnight, According to a Cardiologist

Dr. Christopher Davis, MD, FACC, the chief cardiologist at Humann, says that for everyone, the 20s are when habits are formed that will impact health for decades to come—for better or for worse. “This is one of the most important decades for your future health. The habits you build in your 20s can either protect you—or set you up for problems later,” he tells Parade.

How can you lay the foundation for a heart-healthy lifestyle that will support you both now and decades down the road? Dr. Jay Chudow, MD, a cardiologist at Montefiore Einstein Advanced Care, says this includes following a heart-healthy diet (which is one that’s high in whole grains and vegetables and low in salt, added sugars and highly processed foods), exercising regularly, maintaining a healthy weight, consistently getting enough sleep and effectively knowing how to manage stress. 

30s

Your 30s are when the body first starts to show signs of wear and tear, Dr. Bhojraj says. This can look like weight gain and insulin resistance, both of which are connected to high blood pressure. “Approximately 40% of men and 24% of women have been diagnosed with high blood pressure in their 30s,” Dr. Chudow adds. 

Stress starts to really take a toll on people in their 30s, which in turn can increase blood pressure. “Stress is one of the most underrecognized drivers. Chronic stress activates the sympathetic nervous system, increasing heart rate, constricting blood vessels and elevating blood pressure. Over time, this leads to sustained hypertension and vascular damage if not addressed,” Dr. Davis says.

If you are in your 30s and haven’t figured out a way to effectively manage stress yet, consider this your sign to do so. Otherwise, it could impact your cardiovascular health.

All three cardiologists also say that pregnancy can greatly impact blood pressure, something all women of childbearing age should be aware of. “Pregnancy is genuinely one of the most powerful cardiovascular stress tests a woman will ever undergo,” Dr. Bhojraj says. If someone has high blood pressure during pregnancy, this is a predictor that they are at higher risk for experiencing high blood pressure in the future. 

“It is important for pregnant women to have their blood pressure monitored and, if diagnosed with hypertension, it is treated appropriately,” Dr. Chudow says.

40s and 50s

“In your 40s and 50s, we see a sharp increase in risk,” Dr. Davis says. He explains that this is because blood vessels naturally become stiffer over time, and the cumulative effects of lifestyle, stress and metabolic health begin to show up more clearly.

Dr. Chudow adds to this, saying that approximately 57% of men and 53% of women in their 40s and 50s have high blood pressure.

All three cardiologists say that women in menopause are diagnosed with high blood pressure at a sharper rate than pre-menopausal women. Dr. Bhojraj explains that this is because estrogen is protective for blood vessel health, and estrogen decreases during menopause. “Estrogen helps keep vessels flexible and supports healthy nitric oxide production, which naturally keeps things relaxed and open. When estrogen declines, you lose some of that protection,” he says.

This doesn’t mean that high blood pressure is inevitable after menopause. The cardiologists all say that it just means paying more attention to what you can control, which will in turn support your blood pressure: diet, exercise, sleep and stress management.

Dr. Bhojraj tells Parade that the 40s and 50s are also an important time to get advanced screenings. “Coronary CT scans and in-depth labs look at subtle cholesterol and metabolic metrics and can give you a much more precise picture of what's actually happening in your arteries, beyond what standard labs show,” he says.

60s and Beyond

Considering that the risk for high blood pressure increases with age, being 60 or older means staying on top of your health, including knowing what your blood pressure numbers actually are. “High blood pressure rates continue to increase over the age of 60, with over 70% of both men and women carrying this diagnosis,” Dr. Chudow says.

Here’s what all three cardiologists want everyone 60 and older to know: It’s never too late to take control of your health and turn your blood pressure numbers around. If you do have high blood pressure, talk with your doctor about how you can lower it, including by taking medication, if necessary. 

“The body is remarkably adaptable. Even later in life, improving fitness, nutrition and metabolic health can significantly lower blood pressure and reduce cardiovascular risk. It’s never too late to make meaningful change,” Dr. Davis says.

Dr. Bhojraj agrees, sharing, “The only time improving habits doesn’t work is if you’re already dead. The body has a remarkable capacity to respond, even later in life. Meaningful improvements in blood pressure and cardiovascular risk are possible at any age when someone genuinely shifts their diet, sleep, movement and stress load.”

He adds that when blood pressure is lowered, it’s not just the numbers that change. Lower blood pressure means more energy, better sleep and sharper thinking. You’ll not only be healthier, but you’ll feel healthier, too.

This Limited-Edition Starbucks Drop Includes Something You’d Never Expect

Thu, 05/14/2026 - 9:46am

Starbucks has entered its fitness era with two exciting new products.

One is the coffee chain's new ready-to-drink Coffee & Protein beverage, which combines its high-quality coffee with 22 grams of protein, prebiotic fiber, vitamins, minerals, and minimal sugar. This drink is available in two flavors: Classic Caffé and Caffé Mocha.

Starbucks is also joining the weighted vest trend with the highly anticipated release of its own limited-edition version — the Starbucks Weighted Vest. Designed in collaboration with former InStyle beauty director turned fashion designer Kahlana Barfield Brown, it was created not only for convenience but also to support health goals and offer standout style. "Weighted vests are having a major moment, but most weren't designed to be both functional and fashionable," says Barfield Brown.

She adds, "With the Starbucks Weighted Vest, we wanted to take something functional and make it feel fashion-forward and intentional. It's an easy upgrade to morning routines that fits seamlessly alongside RTD Starbucks Coffee & Protein." The five-pound vest is designed for convenience on the go, featuring front pockets and a mesh pouch on the back for holding RTD bottles. Starbucks describes the product as "something people would want to wear every morning."

For those looking to elevate their fitness routine with Starbucks, the weighted vest will be available nationwide starting May 21. The $22 price point is intentional, mirroring the 22 grams of protein found in the ready-to-drink Coffee & Protein beverages. These beverages are currently available online and in grocery and convenience stores across the country.

Additionally, there's a chance to win a limited-edition weighted vest by entering the Starbucks Coffee & Protein Level Up Strava Challenge. Participants who log into the Strava app have until June 18 to walk or run for 22 minutes a day on 10 or more days.

If you’re still looking for motivation to stick to your New Year’s fitness resolutions, Starbucks has you covered.

Kody Brown’s Radical Transformation Has 'Sister Wives' Fans Doing a Double Take

Thu, 05/14/2026 - 9:35am

Sister Wives star Kody Brown is back in the spotlight after a striking new look surfaced on social media, quickly setting off a wave of fan reactions and double takes online.

In a new Cameo video shared by a fan, Brown debuted a noticeably different look. He appears to have traded in his signature blonde ringlets for a shorter style and what appears to be his natural gray hair.

The video was posted to the social media site in tribute to a fan who received it as a Mother's Day gift. A photo of Brown's former look is used as a profile image.

In the clip, the reality television star, who once lived a polygamist lifestyle where he had four wives, began by sharing his thoughts about the day that celebrates mothers. Brown was previously married to Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, and Christine Brown. He is legally wed to Robyn Brown.

"Mother's Day is a very special day. Mothers need to be exonerated because it's a wonderful job, right, but it's a tough job," he began.

He told the fan that her husband requested this video from him because she was a big fan of polygamy shows. Brown responded, "Most polygamy shows are awful. The reason you like our show, it wasn't a polygamy show, it was a family show, until recently, when I think it became too toxic."

RELATED: ‘Sister Wives’ Star Breaks Silence, Embraces Independence as New Chapter Begins

Brown added, "The whole reason we went public was that the polygamy culture tended to be very culty. It was a place where people would lay down their ability to choose what would happen in their life and give that sovereignty over themselves and their body to another person."

The six-minute video then veered away from being a Mother's Day message and a diatribe about the religious beliefs Brown no longer subscribed to.

The video clip sparked fan reaction on a Reddit thread titled, "Kody cut off his ringlets."

"Somehow, I think it's a worse haircut than the ringlets. If that's even possible," wrote one follower.

"I don’t think he cut it off. I think it’s just pulled back somehow, not a ponytail, maybe a bun? I think his ego is too big to cut it," claimed a second Reddit user.

A third Sister Wives viewer wrote, "I’m pretty sure that even if he had considered shaving it before, he definitely wouldn’t now because everything in his mind seems to be a competition. The way he thinks, he would probably convince himself that people would assume he was trying to imitate David [Woolley, Christine's husband], and he would never want to feel like he was looking up to someone or doing something because of them."

Sister Wives is currently on hiatus. The series airs on TLC.

Nicolas Cage, 62, and His Wife, Riko Shibata, 31, Snuggle up on the Red Carpet

Thu, 05/14/2026 - 9:30am

Nicolas Cage and his young wife, Riko Shibata, look very much in love on the red carpet.

Cage, 62, was born into the iconic Coppola family, and kicked off his career with roles in the teen comedy hit Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Martha Coolidge's cult-classic Valley Girl. However, he soon proved his acting chops with roles in films like Raising Arizona. His Academy Award-winning role as a self-destructive alcoholic opposite Elisabeth Shue in 1995's Leaving Las Vegas went down in film history, as did his several classic action flicks like Con Air, Face/Off, and Gone in 60 Seconds. They're still quoted endlessly to this day!

These days, Cage is still having regular hits at the box office, like 2024's horror filmLonglegs. But in a unique twist on his storied career, the film legend is making the leap to TV, taking on his first leading television role. The actor hit the red carpet on Wednesday evening at the world premiere of Amazon Prime Video's Spider-Noir at the Regal Times Square in New York City. Joined by his wife, Shibata, 31, whom he married in 2021, the actor looks confident and happy. The duo held hands as they worked it for the cameras.

What is Spider-Noir About?

A live-action series based on the Marvel comic Spider-Man Noir, Spider-Noir tells the story of Ben Reilly, played by Cage, a seasoned, down-on-his-luck private investigator in 1930s New York, who is forced to grapple with his past life, following a deeply personal tragedy, as the city’s one and only superhero, according to a release.

Spider-Noir premieres worldwide on May 27, 2026. In a unique twist, Spider-Noir will be available to stream in two ways: In “Authentic Black & White” and “True-Hue Full Color,” so audiences can choose their own adventure to watch.

Check out the black-and-white trailer for Spider-Noir below. It looks incredible!

The 26 Best 'Law & Order: SVU' Guest Stars—From Robin Williams to Snoop

Thu, 05/14/2026 - 9:30am

Cirie Fields Reveals Why She Knew She Could Never Reach the End of 'Survivor 50' (Exclusive)

Thu, 05/14/2026 - 9:20am

Survivor 50 is here! Every week, Parade's Mike Bloom will bring you interviews with the castaway most recently voted off the island.

As the epic cast of 24 players stood at the opening of Survivor 50, quite a number of tears were shed. But perhaps the most emotional, surprisingly, was the one among them who has the most experience: Cirie Fields. In her time between stints in Fiji, the reality TV legend has kept busy, winning The Traitors, making a deep run on Big Brother, and even appearing on an international Survivor season. But, as she put it on Day 1, "Survivor is like home for me. And there's no place like home. What brings me back is knowing it could give me more and that it always gives me more every time I come." And, indeed, what Cirie gave us over 23 days was perhaps her most impressive game to date.

Of course, given Cirie's stature in the game, becoming the first person to play Survivor six times, it was only a matter of time until she would get targeted. And Jenna Lewis Dougherty would get that formality out early, warning everyone how threatening she was. It says a lot, however, that not only did nobody on her tribe heed her words, but they proceeded to then vote her out unanimously. Astoundingly, Cirie quickly found herself in the Cila center, well-connected with pretty much everyone. But her most meaningful relationship was, surprisingly, with Ozzy Lusth, whom she had blindsided nearly two decades ago. Now, however, the two were thick as thieves, eager to used their combined 200+ days of experience to finally accomplish what neither could do: Winning the game.

By the time Cirie hit the merge, she had gained even more connections. Most prominently, years after meeting Rizo Velovic at a casting call, he got the part of one of her closest confidantes, as the two eagerly shared information. Indeed, at the Final 11, Cirie outlined that she either had an alliance or "understanding" with nearly everyone left in the game. No matter what their relationship, they felt some form of trust in her, eager to bring her in on any plan they had brewing. The bad news for Cirie: Most of those plans involved voting out Ozzy. Not wanting to lose him anytime soon, she would turn on the afterburners, swaying the votes to get the mullet man out of every hairy situation. Unfortunately, that also meant going after some of the people she was previously tight with, including Christian Hubicki and Stephenie LaGrossa Kendrick.

After feeling she had a grip on the endgame yet again, Cirie's hands began to slip when the tribe was shockingly split in two on Day 21. With only four people vulnerable, she was suddenly in the line of fire, the intended target of a plan concocted by Emily Flippen and Rick Devens. But she was able to outscheme the schemers, saving herself with an expert play of an Extra Vote, the only advantage she's ever used in her Survivor career. On the other side, however, Ozzy was a bit more stingy with his other advantage, getting taken out with an idol on his pocket (at least it wasn't Cirie's doing this time).

Now missing one of the only people who would take her to the end, the climb to Final Three suddenly became much more of an uphill battle. When Tiffany Ervin won a crucial Immunity Challenge at the Final Six, Rizo and Aubry Bracco both set their sights on the legend, knowing they stood no chance sitting next to her. Sensing her time was coming to an end, Cirie put in work that afternoon, and nearly convinced the majority that Aubry had leaked precious information to her. But, in the end, no amount of twisting could obscure the massive threat she was. Cirie was taken out in sixth place, yet again deprived of a win. But she went out how she came in: With some incredibly gracious words about the show that took a chance on her 20 years ago.

"Thank you Jeff, for some of the best years of my life," she said, standing in front of the veteran host. "I am forever grateful for what Survivor has done for me. I don’t even have the words to express how grateful and thankful I am for finding out there’s so much more to life than what I knew from sitting on my couch and watching TV."

Now out of the game, Cirie talks with Parade about what she felt her chances were of making it to the end in the final week of the game, the variety of relationships she had throughout the season, and what she thinks her legacy across 20 years of Survivor is.

So you had a clear sense your name was on the chopping block during your final day. And you put in work to try to sway the votes onto Aubry. By the time you got to Tribal Council, did you think you had any chance of staying?
No. I knew from conversations that they didn't show with Joe. Joe, this is his moniker:We keep it real with each other. I said, "What are you thinking?" And Joe's response to me was,
"Well, Cirie, you know, nobody's going to sit next to you and win." And I knew at that point that, yeah, there was nothing. When I didn't pull a Hail Mary out, it was nothing. I was going to go.

Let's say Tiffany doesn't win immunity there and she goes out. Do you think you had a path to the end at all at Final Five?
No, I'm next. It was spelled out, no matter what. Because Tiffany, Ozzy and maybe even Christian would be the only people willing to sit next to me in the endgame. And once they were gone, I knew Jonathan definitely wouldn't sit next to me. Joe pretty much told me he wouldn't. And even Rizo, I knew Rizo wanted to win so badly. And Rizzo is schooled to the game; he's a child of Survivor. So he knows that is no way me and him gonna sit in the end and he's gonna walk away.

Well it wouldn't be a season with you, Cirie, if you didn't have an entire web of relationships that you were playing with. Let's pull on a couple of threads. You told me before the season you wanted to try to connect with Ozzy early on in the hopes you could work together this time, and we saw how well that worked out for you both. Talk to me about working with someone who you blindsided with an idol in your pocket yourself 34 seasons ago.
It just speaks to how dynamic relationships can be, right? People mess up all the time. People may offend even in this game, being blindsided by me. But if you have the right conversation and communication and you are sincere. Ozzy knows me a little bit, right? He could tell that I was sincere in saying, "I will ride with you today." And he knows my history. If I can trust you, if I feel I can trust you, I'll ride with you to the wheels fall off. And I felt the same from him. So I thought it was awesome that we both have such a long history. We played together so many times on opposite sides and opposite teams, and we could come together and try to make a run in Season 50. I thought it was a beautiful day.

We got to see a bit of your reaction to finding out how his blindside went down. Talk to me more about that.
In the moment I couldn't understand. Because I felt like it was going to be an easy vote if Ozzy just chilled out. And I even texted Ozzy last night like, "Dog, I'm sorry for saying that craziness. What are you doing?!" But that was my reaction in the moment. Now, in hindsight, I see what Ozzy was trying to do. And Ozzy did a lot for me in the game. He protected me through that first vote. He gave me his extra vote. So people mess up sometimes. But that doesn't define who you are, and I love Ozzy.

Let's talk about the third member of "Cirie's Rizard of Oz" in Rizo. In the preseason you told me, "I never met a Rizo that was on the up-and-up." Yet it was clear the two of you were close out there, with him even saying last night you were his "rock" out there. What was your dynamic like?
That's who I am, Mike. If my gut tells me, and you have shown nothing but the fact that I can trust you over and over and over again until you don't. I'm a "ride-or-dier." I will ride with you till the wheels fall off. I kind of take people under [my way]. Rizo was younger than all three of my sons. And the fact that he was bringing me information, information is currency. He kept proving again and again that I could trust him.

So, like with my kids, my kids have messed up before. But does that mean I disown them and I don't love them anymore? Nah, I'm not like that. And Rizzo thought, rightfully so, "I could never win against her, and maybe this is my shot to take it." And he took it. He's like a younger version of me. So there's no hard feelings for me and Rizo.

We saw you working closely with Tiffany towards the end of your time in the game, and she's the only person to not vote for you last night. What was that relationship, and how did it form?
I don't know. It was just like instant chemistry. The second that Tiffany and I came together, it was like, "Oh my god, I love her." And we were like two peas in the pot. I even heard through Rizo that Joe started saying, "Cirie and Tiffany are getting too close." [Laughs.] And it was unintentional. IIt's almost like being at work, and you have your people. You hang with them, you eat lunch with them, you look for them. You see them on break, you want to go talk to them. That's what it was for me and Tiffany. I was just drawn to her and drawn to her energy, and it couldn't be hidden.

You and Aubry had worked together closely in Game Changers, and both of you said in the preseason you were eager to work with the other. But we see the two of you gun for each other last night, albeit through loving voting confessionals. Were you working with her out there like you intended?
There was definitely a distance there. One, we were not on a tribe together for some time. And then when we did come together, I had already been so tightly woven with other alliances, I was never targeting her. Until last night, obviously, and that was just because it was a Hail Mary and me or her. But prior to that, I was never targeting Aubry.

Even the conversation that they show with Genevieve, they only showed that clip, but they didn't show that there was a whole conversation. It looks like I sat down and said, "Aubry has an idol." But to my knowledge, I thought everybody knew Aubry had an idol! So I didn't feel like I was giving any easter eggs to Genevieve. I just had to give her something because she was talking to me. So it was a little distance. We weren't closely aligned. But there was never an intention for me to target Aubry. I love Aubry.

What about Jonathan? We see in last week's episode that he's coming to you to talk through the plan on both sides of the beach. You say in this episode that you can "twist him around," and he says you never lied to him. How did the two of you work together?
Believe it or not, I really kind of connected with Jonathan. We talked about things outside of the game about stuff at home that kind of brought us together. And even though I knew from the first tribe switch that Jonathan wanted me out, because, as we saw, he went to Dee and was like, "We gotta get Cirie," we had a decent relationship. And like Jonathan said last night, it was actually correct. I had never lied to Jonathan, because there was no reason for me to lie to Jonathan up until that point when I was trying to throw the Hail Mary to save my skin. But yeah, me and Jonathan had a decent working relationship.

We're talking about all of these connections you had, something you tout during a confessional at the Final 11. But then we see you have to make decisions to get rid of people you were working with, like Christian and Stephenie, to protect Ozzy. How did you deal with the fallout of those decisions, especially from someone like Stephenie, who you had a pre-existing relationship with?
Was there fallout? [Laughs.] I didn't experience any. You know what's so crazy? Somebody else online said, "How is Cirie doing this?! There's no repercussions for her." There was no fallout.

[Laughs.] This season, you finally got an advantage in your hands that you could use. And, for the first time in your Survivor career, you did, utilizing your Extra Vote to save you and force a 2-2-2 tie to boot Emily. Was there something that happened that sent up a red flag to play it? Or were you always going to use that Extra Vote?
Tiffany and I have spoken. They didn't show it, but I told Jonathan too. There was not a question in my mind with Devens having an immunity idol. And Devens is a player. He's a strong player. So if I'm Devens, I'm thinking, "Which way do I go?" And I felt like it was a 50/50 chance. So my gut said to me, "Devens is never going to give up his immunity idol for somebody else." But if there was a minuscule chance of it, I didn't want to go home with a piece of paper souvenir of an Extra Vote.

You said in no uncertain terms before this season that Survivor 50 would be the last time you would play. Has that changed at all based on what went down?
Oh no. I'm going to be 56 in July, Mike. And I started this when I was 35, a young whippersnapper on the "older ladies" tribe. They messed up. So no, I feel like I've gotten everything I need to get. I feel especially with my performance on Season 50, I feel like, what else? Listen, I'm not snubbing my nose at $2 million at all. However, Mike, I've gotten so much more than I bargained for in 20 years. I didn't expect it to be next year after my first season. So to have a 20-year run and to be known as the best to have never won, all I hear is "the best," and that's good enough for me.

What was your reaction when Aubry said you were the greatest player of all time?
Oh my God. I mean, I've heard that time and time again. And you know what? If you hear something over and over and over and over and over again, eventually you start to believe it. And that's what's happening for me, and that's why these 20 years are good enough for me now.

So since this is truly your last time, I want to look back on those 20 years. You say during the Colby Tribal Council, "I never thought I would pave the way for anybody." And you told me before the season that Survivor 50 would be about proving to yourself the legacy that everyone else has assigned to you. So, now that your path has ended, what do you think is your legacy across six seasons and X days of Survivor?
I think it was necessary for me to be on Survivor and not be good at challenges and not be good at finding idols. I feel like I represent the average person that the average viewer that's at home, and not really that secure in who they are and not really that confident. And 20 years of having all of my vulnerabilities on display and receiving the amount of love and support from perfect strangers around the world — not just around the country! I got DMs last night from people in China with screenshots saying, "We're devastated. China loves you, Cirie!"

I didn't start this for that. I started as a fan who wanted to try something, try a game that I loved watching. And it culminated into 20 years of life experiences, friends that are now family members. I feel like I just paved the way for the average person at home that isn't that sure of themselves to say, "You know what?" If Cirie could go out there and do it and almost drown and didn't do this well in a challenge and couldn't make it across a balance beam and do it time and time and time and time again and still have the performance that she's had in Season 50, maybe I'll give it a try."

And it's clear that, despite Season 50 being your sixth time out, it was still incredibly meaningful to you. You spoke from the very beginning until the very end about how grateful you are for the experiences you've received. As much as you have given the show, it's clear the show has given a monumental amount to you as well.
I said it to Jeff at the end. I've gotten so much out of this show. I've got so much confidence. I do feel invincible. Because when I started in 2005, I was afraid of everything. I wasn't afraid of leaves, to be clear! But I was afraid. What it taught me is that I am my own worst critic and worst enemy when it comes to fear. And every time that I went on the show, and I was like, "Oh, God, what if it's this challenge?" And it always turns out better than I expected. And that's what I need people to take away. Don't let fear rule your life or keep you on the couch. You can conquer that fear. All you have to do is take that first step towards it, and I promise you you'll conquer it. Because that's what happened for me.

This Returning Costco Snack Find Tastes Like Sweet Summer

Thu, 05/14/2026 - 9:17am

If your childhood memories include racing down the street after the ice cream truck for those iconic strawberry shortcake bars, Costco may have just brought back one of the most nostalgic snacks of the summer. It taps into those same fruity, creamy flavors many of us still remember fondly.

Shoppers are already buzzing about the seasonal warehouse find, which brings that classic flavor into a bite-sized format. And it might just be one of the easiest impulse buys in the warehouse right now.

You can get a closer look in this May 13 TikTok from @costcobuys:

🍓 These Edward Marc Strawberry Shortcake Bites at Costco are such a fun and addicting snack! Each bite is a shortbread cookie filled with a sweet strawberry flavored crème and has no preservatives or artificial flavors. They taste exactly like a strawberry shortcake bar and I absolutely cannot stop eating them 😍 ($11.49) #costco #costcofinds #strawberryshortcake

♬ original sound - CostcoBuys Edward Marc Strawberry Shortcake Bites Are Back at Costco for Summer

The Edward Marc Strawberry Shortcake Bites are made with buttery shortbread cookies filled with strawberry-flavored crème for that familiar dessert-inspired flavor. According to the packaging shared in the video, the bites are made without preservatives or artificial flavors.

As @costcobuys put it in the caption, “They taste exactly like a strawberry shortcake bar, and I absolutely cannot stop eating them.” Which might make these a little dangerous once the bag is open.

The 20-ounce bag is priced at $11.49, though pricing can vary slightly by warehouse. The resealable format also makes them easy to keep on hand for road trips, movie nights, beach days, or just grabbing a handful straight from the pantry when you want something sweet without making a full dessert.

And shoppers seem just as excited to see them returning this year. Over on Reddit’s r/Costco forum, one person shared, “They were giving out samples. Had one bite and these bags went straight into my cart.”

Another recommended keeping them chilled, writing, “They’re best in the fridge,” while also suggesting they work well crushed over ice cream for extra texture and flavor.

Someone else joked, “Satan, I did not need to read this temptation today.”

If you grew up chasing down the ice cream truck for strawberry shortcake bars, there’s a good chance these won’t last long once they make it into your pantry.

One standout pick is the Bedsure Boho Tufted Embroidery Comforter Set. Right now, it’s on sale for 50% off at Target, bringing the price down from $90 to as low as $45 for a twin size set, which makes it an especially great value for a full bedding upgrade.

The set comes in a wide range of sizes: twin, full, queen, oversized queen, king, and California king. Each set includes one comforter and two matching shams, while the twin size includes one sham, making it easy to get a complete, polished look right out of the package.

Made from high-quality polyester microfiber, this comforter set is soft, lightweight, and breathable. It offers a cozy feel without trapping too much heat, so you can stay comfortable during warmer months while still having enough warmth for cooler nights.

It’s also designed with durability in mind. The set can withstand regular use and washing without fading, shrinking, or losing its shape. It’s machine washable on a gentle cycle with cold water and can be tumble dried on low, making upkeep simple and stress-free.

Style-wise, it offers plenty of versatility. With 25 color options available, you can easily find one that fits your space. The tufted embroidery detailing is crafted through a 32-step process that creates a soft 3D texture, adding depth and visual interest without feeling stiff or noisy.

The overall aesthetic leans into boho, farmhouse, and shabby chic styles, with a subtle vintage-inspired look that feels both relaxed and elevated. It’s an easy way to bring in texture and personality while still keeping your space calm and inviting.

Shoppers are loving it too, awarding it over 100 five-star reviews.  One shopper described it as “luxurious,” adding, “It’s soft enough for winter, but not too heavy for summer either. It has a higher-end, inviting look.” Another dubbed it the “perfect comforter,” writing, “Not only is it beautiful, but it's the perfect weight.”
