Fri, 02/20/2026 - 4:29pm

HGTV favorite Jonathan Scott and fiancée Zooey Deschanel fully renovated their dream home in Los Angeles, but they also have a dream apartment in New York City.

The Property Brothers star took fans on a virtual tour of their stunning renovated Manhattan estate.

"Jonathan Scott opens the doors to his NYC apartment and shares what it really looks like to build a home in one of the most competitive real estate markets in the world. This is not a staged showroom," the video description explains. "He walks through the full space and breaks down the real decisions behind it. How to make smart storage look intentional. How to blend two strong design styles into one cohesive home while living together with Zooey. Every layout choice matters. He shares the big ideas and even the small details, down to the patterns in the floor. Jonathan shares what worked, and how they made the apartment feel personal instead of temporary."

Fans get an inside look at the stunning wallpapers throughout, the hand-drawn mural in the entryway, sweeping 15-foot ceilings, and unique light fixtures.

"I wanted you guys to see what it literally looks like day to day when we're just here and we're using it," Scott told viewers.

The couple merged their decor styles brilliantly, pulling in antique artwork, floral wallpapers, old-world charm and bold colors throughout.

I Tried Elizabeth Taylor’s Favorite Pasta—It’s Simple but Stunning

Some dishes arrive at the table with a history already attached. Spaghetti alla Elizabeth Taylor is one of them: a plate of pasta tied to a place, a person and a moment in Italian hospitality. The dish traces its origins high above the Ligurian coast at the Belmond Hotel Splendido in Portofino, a former monastery turned panoramic refuge that's attracted Hollywood stars for decades. As a frequent guest throughout the 1960s, Elizabeth Taylor returned to the hotel often, finding a constant between film shoots, marriages and honeymoons.

Years later, Corrado Corti, the executive chef at La Terrazza, the hotel's signature restaurant, began piecing that history together. As he consulted longtime staff whose memories stretched back to Taylor’s visits, one detail consistently emerged. “Others confided in me that when Elizabeth Taylor stayed here, she particularly loved spaghetti with tomato sauce," Corti tells Parade.

That revelation started Corti on a culinary mission: to take the most humble of Italian staples and make it worthy of the woman who requested it. “I felt the need to include a tomato pasta dish on the menu, but one that wasn’t trivial," he explains.

Using that as his guide, Corti crafted Spaghetti alla Elizabeth Taylor. It's not a simple marinara, but rather a layered expression of care: three kinds of tomatoes, treated in three distinct ways, combined into a single plate that continues to anchor La Terrazza’s menu. Though it now costs forty euros, its true value has always been affection, familiarity and the quiet luxury of being known.

To get a taste of la dolce vita at home, I tried the recipe in my kitchen. Read on to find out how it went and how you can make the dish at your house, too.

What Is Spaghetti alla Elizabeth Taylor?

Courtesy Theresa Greco

Spaghetti alla Elizabeth Taylor may resemble a classic pomodoro at first glance, but in practice, it's a study in what Corti calls "complex simplicity."

"I love to highlight the soul of the dish without distracting the palate," he explains. That clarity emerges from three expressions of local tomatoes, layered for both contrast and continuity to give a familiar flavor a quiet sophistication.

Technique is only part of the appeal of this dish; the legacy provides the rest. Taylor was a huge fan of Portofino, the location of four of her honeymoons. It's also reportedly where Richard Burton first proposed to the Hollywood icon on the balcony of Splendido Suite 471 in 1964, when she was on a break from filming Cleopatra. It's fun to think of her enjoying a simple pasta dish like this one in the midst of her romantic bliss.

Having spent a good deal of time along the Ligurian coast myself, I’ve seen how often a famous name or a glamorous view can outshine the actual meal. As I made the dish in my kitchen, I couldn’t help but wonder whether it could truly stand on its own.

Ingredients Needed

In a recipe with so few components, there's nowhere for a mediocre ingredient to hide. If you start with a tomato that has no soul or an olive oil that's flat, you've already lost half the battle. "The choice of ingredients certainly makes up 50% of the recipe itself," shares Corti.

You can get the full recipe on the hotel's website, but here are the ingredients you need to put it together: datterini tomatoes (or grape tomatoes), fresh thyme, brown sugar, lemon zest, sea salt, canned San Marzano tomatoes, spaghetti, fresh cherry tomatoes, Ligurian olive oil, garlic, fresh basil and dried oregano.

How To Make This Spaghetti

To bring this dish to life, start by preheating your oven to 200°F. Because fresh datterini are hard to find, I swapped them for grape tomatoes. Slice the tomatoes in half and arrange them, cut sides up, on a large baking tray. Sprinkle them with chopped thyme, brown sugar, lemon zest and sea salt.

Let them roast for three hours until they are soft and deeply caramelized. While the tomatoes roast, turn your attention to the San Marzano tomatoes. Drain them, reserving the liquid, and slice the tomatoes into thin strips.

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti until it's al dente. In a large pan, begin the sauté phase, but instead of the cherry tomatoes the recipe suggests, use canned datterini if you can find them (more on my tomato swaps in the tip section below). Sautéing them quickly with olive oil and garlic protects their delicate texture while letting their premium sweetness pop.

Once the tomatoes are tender, stir in the sliced San Marzano tomatoes and their reserved juice, simmering on medium-high for about five minutes until the sauce is beautifully reduced.

After adjusting the seasoning with salt, pepper, or a pinch of sugar, toss the al dente spaghetti directly into the pan with a splash of pasta water to ensure every strand is coated.

Finally, fold in those chewy, caramelized roasted tomatoes along with fresh basil and oregano, tossing everything together before serving.

Spaghetti alla Elizabeth Taylor: My Honest Thoughts

Courtesy Theresa Greco

I honestly loved everything about this dish. At first glance, it looks like just another bowl of pomodoro, but it is so much more than that. It honestly feels like the Italy I have fallen in love with: authentic, totally unpretentious and all about the quality of the harvest.

What really blew me away were the three different layers of tomatoes. Preparing each variety in its own way added a level of texture and brightness that takes a simple pasta and makes it something special. Tracking down the specific tomatoes takes a bit more work, but I'm telling you, the payoff is worth it.

This recipe is a great reminder that making something this ambitious isn't just about putting in the time. You have to really stay on top of all the moving parts and understand how the flavors layer together. It took a bit of work, but the results are incredible. I will definitely be making this again. It’s the kind of meal that reminds me of Elizabeth Taylor: simple, timeless and completely fabulous.

Tips for Making This Dish

When I first glanced at the recipe, I hit an immediate roadblock: it called for fresh datterini tomatoes. These "little dates" are prized in Italy for their incredible sweetness and thin skins, but finding them fresh in the States is a tall order. I scanned my pantry and found a premium alternative, a can of Giadzy yellow datterini, but that discovery led straight into my next challenge: the cook time.

The original recipe called for roasting the datterini for three hours and using cherry tomatoes for a quick, final sauté. I knew instinctively that putting high-quality canned datterini in a low oven for that long would be a disaster. Their delicate structure would never survive the heat; they would simply disintegrate into a sugary puddle rather than remaining a distinct, vibrant ingredient.

So I decided to make a swap.

  • The roaster: I swapped the fresh datterini for fresh grape tomatoes, which are easily available in most grocery stores. Their thicker skins and lower moisture content make them built for endurance. After three hours in the oven, they didn't just survive; they transformed into chewy, caramelized gems of concentrated flavor.
  • The finisher: I reserved the Giadzy datterini for the final sauté, adding them at the very end to protect their silky texture. This allows their natural sweetness to act as a bright, fresh counterpoint to the deep, roasted notes of the grape tomatoes. Note: If you don't have a can of datterini on hand, fresh store-bought cherry tomatoes will provide a similar texture and pop of brightness.
  • The constant: For the base of the sauce, I used exactly what the recipe called for, a can of San Marzano tomatoes, which are available in most grocery stores these days. Their reliable acidity and meaty texture provided the perfect canvas for the rest of my adjustments.

By flipping the order and types of tomatoes used, I played to the strengths of each tomato. The grape tomatoes provided the deep, roasted intensity, while the datterini stayed intact, offering a silky texture and a bright, sun-drenched finish that would have been lost in the oven. The result was a masterclass in textural layering. By slightly breaking the rules of the recipe, I ended up with a dish that respected the quality of the ingredients and suited my Italian-American kitchen perfectly.

Who Is Megan Moroney's New Song 'Who Hurt You?' About?

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 4:20pm

"Like you said, I'm pretty consistently vulnerable," Megan Moroney told Elaina Smith in January during a Backstage Country interview. "But there's one song, 'Who Hurt You?' that I'm pretty consistently excited for."

At the time she spoke these words, her newest album, Cloud 9, had yet to be released. Now that it's here, her fans are using the lyrics to piece together who it's about.

"I was blinded by the lies, and the manufactured smile," the song begins. "The devil went down to Georgia, then he crossed the Bama line, so casually convincing."

Some say the lyrics could be about Riley Green, with whom Moroney was rumored to be involved in 2025. The "manufactured smile" is thought to reference the rumors that he got veneers, while the singer is also known to be from Jacksonville, Alabama.

"Bar for bar, I didn't lie," Moroney told Smith about the tune. "I said everything, so I don't have to answer interview questions about the situation."

She went on to hint that the "situation" she was talking about was something everyone would immediately decode upon hearing it.

"I've said my piece, and there's no reason to ask me any questions about it," she added. "I've told you what I needed to say. I'm trying to just be efficient here. 'Have you heard the song?' There should be no further questions."

The two were thought to have begun dating sometime near the end of 2024. A fan swore she spotted Moroney and Green driving around his hometown, but their faces weren't visible in the photos taken.

View this post on Instagram

The suspicions that the two were an item continued to grow, as they were "coincidentally" spotted in the same places. Fans spotting them at the airport together after a show further convinced people that they must be traveling together.

@emmamarieporter

me and my boyfriends new personality trait is Riley was on our flight hehe @Southwest Airlines #southwest #meganmorney #rileygreen

♬ Pick A Place - Riley Green

However, by June, it seemed like whatever connection had been there had fizzled out. A concertgoer wore a Riley Green T-shirt to one of Moroney's concerts. When she noticed the woman's shirt, the woman claimed that the "Six Months Later" singer mouthed the words, "He f****d up," to her.

@avkessel

On your side megan. #meganmoroney #rileygreen @Megan Moroney @Lilly

It's doubtful that Moroney will ever admit whether the song is truly about Green. Nonetheless, "Who Hurt You?" is one of many songs on Cloud 9 that listeners will find themselves singing along to.

Andy Reid Shares Update on Travis Kelce’s Retirement

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 4:12pm

Whether you know him as Taylor Swift’s fiancé or the tight end of the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelceis a household name. 

While there’s no doubt his relationship with Swift on his lock, his future in the NFL is seemingly still up in the air … or is it? Speaking during a press conference on Friday, February 20, Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid addressed the possibility of Kelce’s retirement after 13 years with the team. 

"There is communication. That’s the main thing," Reid, 67, said, per People. "That means people want to move forward. I think that's where Trav is.”

"I’m not trying to put words in his mouth at all, and I try to give him some space here. He’s been doing this a long time, and he can sort all that out as he goes forward,” Reid added .”We’re proceeding with that, and there is communication."

During his tenure with the Kansas City Chiefs, Kelce, 36, has won three Super Bowl rings, captured eight AFC West division titles, been selected to the Pro Bowl 10 times, and earned multiple honors. He’s widely regarded as one of the best tight ends in NFL history.

However, the Chiefs faced an incredibly difficult season, finishing with a disappointing 6-11 record, missing the playoffs for the first time since 2014, and watching star quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffer a season-ending knee injury that derailed their campaign.

Given the sheer magnitude of Kelce’s career, it’s hard to believe that he won’t go out on top, but ultimately, KC fans won’t know for sure until his contract is up next month. 

When Kelce’s mom, Donna Kelce, was asked about the possibility of him retiring, she said, “I just want him to do what he feels comfortable doing. He’s gotta talk to people in his life to decide what he wants to do. So I’m not sure. We’ll see what happens!”

Gayle King Joins 'Beyond the Gates' for Major Storyline

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 4:00pm

CBS has announced a new guest star crossover for Beyond the Gates, featuring a familiar face for daytime viewers.

CBS confirmed in an official announcement that CBS Mornings host Gayle King will appear on Beyond the Gates as part of a special crossover storyline.

King’s character will be interviewing Anita Dupree (Tamra Tunie) as Anita prepares to go public with her cancer diagnosis.

🎬 SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬

On the show, Anita was diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer in late 2025. Although the cancer was believed to have been caught early, Anita still faced an intense treatment process. The former head of the girl group The Articulates underwent chemotherapy and was seen having a port implanted as part of her treatment.

Anita shared the news with her family. Her daughters, Nicole Richardson Dupree (Daphnée Duplaix) and Dani Richardson Dupree (Karla Mosley), underwent testing for BRCA gene mutations, which can increase the risk of developing breast cancer.

Nicole tested negative for the mutation, while Dani tested positive. As a result, Dani’s children were also encouraged to undergo testing, while Nicole’s children were not considered at increased genetic risk.

Dani’s daughters, Naomi (Arielle Prepetit) and Chelsea (RhonniRose Mantilla) were both tested. Chelsa tested negative, while Naomi initially claimed she was negative as well. However, Naomi later revealed to the audience she had tested positive and has struggled with how to handle the news.

Meanwhile, Anita has experienced difficult side effects from chemotherapy. She previously collapsed from dehydration and has also begun losing her hair. With the support of her daughter, Dani, Anita chose to take control of the situation by debuting a short new hairstyle.

In recent episodes, Anita fainted at the country club in front of Leslie Thomas (Trisha Mann Grant), an incident that contributes to her decision to share her story publicly in an interview with Gayle King.

Beyond the Gates airs weekdays on CBS with episodes streaming on Paramount Plus. Viewers can catch up on all of the drama of Season 1 of Beyond the Gates on Paramount Plus or on Pluto TV’s dedicated 24/7 Beyond the Gates FAST channel.

‘Smallville’ Star Says Tom Welling Is Like Clark Kent — Except for This Surprising Behavior

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 3:57pm

While Tom Wellingplayed mild-mannered superhero, Clark Kent, on the hit WB show, Smallville, it seems that the actor might not be as polite as the Man of Steel.

During a February 2026 panel at the Vancouver FanExpo 2026, Welling, Kristin Kreuk, who played Lana Lang,Erica Durance, who played Lois Lane, andJames Marsters, who played villain Brainiac, discussed their time filming Smallville, which had a 10-season run until 2011. While on the panel, Marsters, who joined the show's cast in season 5, said that Welling shares quite a few similarities with Clark.

"When I came on the show, I was like, that guy actually is Clark Kent, you know, like he's super nice. He's a super supportive, natural-born leader. Something tells me, you don't mess with that guy," said the Buffy the Vampire Slayer star to the audience.

He then shared that, unlike Clark, Welling would tell "the naughtiest jokes [he] ever heard in [his] life" while on the show's set.

"I remember I told you like, 'Tom, don't tell me those jokes before lunch because in the morning they just get into my head and they burrow with those images and I can't shake them and you're ruining me.' And you were like, 'Oh, I'm sorry, James. I wouldn't want to ruin your psyche.' And then you would be like telling the jokes 4:00 in the morning,'" recalled Marsters while speaking to Welling.

Welling then explained that he enjoys using his humor to bother his friends.

Durance, who started filming the show during its fourth season, also shared that Welling would purposefully annoy her while she was still a guest star on the show.

"I was pretty excited to be a part of the show. I was pretty hyper all the time. I was easily poked at. So sometimes [Welling] would do that," said Durance on the panel. "And I think you were in there, day in and day out and I was a little bit of entertainment in the best way possible."

While a specific premiere date for Mistletoe Murders was not provided, both Drew and Mooney revealed it will debut during Hallmark's "Countdown to Christmas" later in 2026. The show airs on Hallmark and becomes available the next day on Hallmark+.

Zakk Wylde Jokes About His Wife Barb's True Feelings Toward His Infamous Beard

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 3:39pm

Rocker Zakk Wylde is now famous for his long beard, but that wasn't always the case. Radio host Abe Kanan even described the 59-year-old's early appearance while playing guitar for Ozzy Osbourne's band by saying he "looked like a supermodel." So, what does his longtime wife, Babaranne Wylde, who he's been married to since Dec. 14, 1992, think of the look?

"You could have been on like a Calvin Klein billboard and then... you grew that beard. Have you ever considered shaving the beard off and going back?" Kanan joked in a Feb. 19 Audacy Check-In interview with Wylde.

"When I didn't have the beard, that was the last time that Barb ever slept with me..." Wylde, who was once famous for his flowing blond, teased. "I'll probably end up getting lucky if I shave it off."

"Barb thinks she's sleeping with another guy, you know," the Black Label Society founder and singer laughed. "And she's like, 'Thank God, Zakk sucks.'"

The story of how he ended up with the beard in the first place is even more hilarious. The musician claims he was inspired to grow out his facial hair after he was played Ghose in the 2001 musical comedy film Rock Star.

"When we did the Rock Star movie, obviously I had to shave every day. At the end of the movie, we recorded like a where are they now with the band... I had a beard at the end. It was like a glue-on beard of exactly what it is now," he recalled, saying it was fun to "test drive" the bold look. "I'm looking at going, 'Bro, I think after the movie I'm I'm just gonna let it go and grow it grow a actual beard.'" From then on, the beard has been his signature look.

Joy Behar Clears the Air on Her Name Mentioned in the Epstein Files: 'I'm Not Guilty'

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 3:38pm

The public viewability of the Epstein files has led to a long list of celebrity names, including The View'sJoy Behar,Whoopi Goldberg, and plenty more who have had to explain why. Behar addressed why her name was on the list in a recent taping of the morning talk show and openly said she's "not guilty."

While certain high-profile names have been reported to have been involved with Jeffrey Epstein's social circle, being listed in flight logs, court documents, and emails does not automatically imply criminal wrongdoing. Behar explains she's certainly not one of them.

On Thursday’s episode of The View, Behar said the inclusion of what she described as "crazy names" appears designed to "muddy the waters" in the broader context of incriminating evidence found in the files. Behar explains that, to her understanding, her name was listed by chance due to her attendance at an event.

"So you say Whoopi [Goldberg’s] con the list and so am I, I think. We’re on the list because we were at a party or a wedding or something that somebody [else] might’ve been [at]. That’s what I found out," she said.

She further adds that she was a guest at Donald Trump's wedding to his ex-wife, Marla Maples, in 1993 in New York City. Whether or not Epstein was there, Behar has no idea, but admits, "That means that I’m not guilty, obviously, but these other ones, how are you going to decide who’s guilty and who’s not? It’s very tricky."

Sunny Hostin, who is a former federal prosecutor, agreed with her co-host, saying that the list of names doesn't implicate all of them of a crime. She does add that there are certain names of high-profile celebrities who are "guilty of wrongdoing."

Besides Behar, Goldberg also had to clear the air on her name appearing in the documents related to an email thread. The email pertained to John Lennon's charity holding an event for which Goldberg needed private flight accommodations, and the appropriate information was being given.

"I wasn’t his girlfriend. I wasn’t his friend. I’m speaking about me because I’m getting dragged. People actually believe that I was with him. Honey, come on. Every man I’ve been with, you’ve known about him because either the Enquirer wrote about it. People wrote about this stuff," said Golberg during the segment.

Recent news related to the Epstein files reveals Ex-Prince Andrew was taken into custody over suspicion of misconduct relating in relation to sharing confidential material with Epstein.

Conan O'Brien Breaks Silence on Rob Reiner's Death

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 3:30pm

Conan O'Brien finally broke his silence on Rob Reiner's death.

In an interview with The New Yorker published on Friday, Feb. 20, the late-night host spoke about Reiner, 78, and his wife, Michele Singer, 70, after they were murdered on Dec. 14, 2025.

🎬 SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬

Their son, Nick Reiner, 32, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder in their stabbing deaths, which happened a day after an altercation involving Rob and Nick at O'Brien's holiday party.

“It’s just so awful,” O’Brien, 62, told The New Yorker. “And I think about how Rob felt about things that are happening in the country, how involved he was, how much he put himself out there — and to have that voice go quiet in an instant is still hard for me to comprehend.”

On Dec. 13, the Reiners attended O'Brien's Christmas party, Rob and Nick got in a "very loud argument," TMZ reported. A source told Us Weeklythat Nick allegedly acted “creepily” at the get-together before he left.

“Nick was going up to people at Conan O’Brien’s party asking if they were famous,” the unnamed source claimed.

Additionally, Nick allegedly interrupted a conversation involving Bill Hader, NBC News reported. When the comedian told him the conversation was private, Nick allegedly stared at him before "storming off."

After Nick's first court appearance in December, Rob and Michele's two other children, Jake, 34, and Romy, 27, released a statement about their parents' deaths.

“Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day," they wrote. "The horrific and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, is something that no one should ever experience. They weren’t just our parents; they were our best friends.”

Nick's arraignment is scheduled for Feb. 23, after being postponed twice following his attorney, Alan Jackson, withdrawing from the case.

'Celebrity Jeopardy' Announces Star-Studded 'All Stars' Line-Up — Here’s Who Is Returning

According to PEOPLE, three reigning champions—Ike Barinholtz, Lisa Ann Walter and W. Kamau Bell—will return to defend their titles after winning their respective seasons.

One particularly fun (and fan-favorite) return is Culkin. The Home Alone star previously competed on Celebrity Jeopardy! in 2023 after being referenced as a clue on the show dozens of times. “You have been part of a ‘Jeopardy!’ clue, like, 42 times over your career,” host Ken Jennings told him at the time, per The Post. Culkin laughed, responding, “Oh, wow! Look mom, I’m famous! I’m a factoid! Trivial.”

Jennings joked he wasn’t sure if Culkin himself would appear on the board that night. “That would make it so much easier. For real,” Culkin teased. “I would be so much less nervous.”

During that appearance, Culkin competed on behalf of the San Diego Zoo and Wildlife Alliance—a reminder that, beyond bragging rights, the stakes are philanthropic.

On This Day in 1993, Rock Legend Scored a Posthumous No. 1 34 Years After His Death

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 3:17pm

Thirty-three years ago today, one of rock and roll’s earliest pioneers achieved a remarkable chart milestone.

On February 20, 1993, Words of Love, a compilation album by Buddy Holly and The Crickets, reached No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart, becoming one of Holly’s posthumous chart-toppers more than three decades after his death.

Released by PolyGram in 1993, Words of Love featured many of Holly’s most enduring songs, including “That’ll Be the Day,” “Peggy Sue,” “Everyday,” “Rave On,” and “Oh, Boy!” The album ultimately spent nine weeks on the UK chart and was later certified gold.

It was not the first time Holly had reached the top of the UK albums chart after his death. In 1978, the compilation 20 Golden Greats—known in some markets as Buddy Holly Lives—also climbed to No. 1, underscoring how prolific and beloved his catalog of songs was and continued to be after his tragic death in 1959.

Holly died on February 3, 1959, in a plane crash shortly after performing at the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, Iowa. The crash also claimed the lives of fellow musicians J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson and Ritchie Valens, as well as pilot Roger Peterson, a tragedy that would later be immortalized as “The Day the Music Died.”

Though his life was cut short at just 22, Holly’s influence on rock music proved lasting. Artists from The Beatles to The Rolling Stones cited him as a formative inspiration, and his songwriting and sound helped define early rock and roll.

The chart success of Words of Love in 1993 served as another reminder that Holly’s music never truly faded. Decades after his death, his songs once again resonated strongly enough with listeners to send a collection of his work to No. 1—a rare and enduring posthumous achievement.

Michael J. Fox Predicts End to Parkinson’s in 40 Years

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 3:11pm

Michael J. Fox has spent more than three decades living with Parkinson’s disease, and while he says the fight isn’t over, he believes there’s a future without it.

In a new interview with Time published on Friday, February 20, the actor and advocate reflected on how far research has come since he was diagnosed at age 29 in 1991, and why he’s optimistic that Parkinson’s could one day be eradicated.

“I’d like to see a world without Parkinson’s, and I think that will happen,” the Back to theFuture star, 64, said. “I think in 30, 40 years, this will be done. Optimism is a powerful thing.”

When Fox was first diagnosed, he said Parkinson’s was widely misunderstood.

“It was an old person’s disease,” he told the outlet. “It was not a disease that got much attention.”

After learning he would be living with the condition for the rest of his life, Fox immersed himself in the science behind it and quickly realized what researchers were lacking.

“I was motivated by what I heard from the science people who said that the science is ahead of the money,” he said. “They said, ‘If you can direct money toward the right research, we can speed things along.’”

That motivation led him to co-create the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research in 2000 with Deborah Brooks. The organization has since grown into the largest nonprofit funder of Parkinson’s research in the world, providing more than $2 billion to scientists.

Fox said he approached fundraising with his trademark humor and persistence.

“I’ll come in your office, I’ll take pictures with all of your employees, and I’ll pound you for money,” he said.

More than 25 years later, the foundation plays a key role in bringing together scientists, policy makers and advocates to remove barriers to research and treatment development. According to Brooks, there are now “175-plus therapeutic interventions being tested in humans.”

The Family Ties alum acknowledged that despite the progress, the ultimate goal has not yet been reached.

“I know we’ve done a lot, but we haven’t cured Parkinson’s,” he said. “I’m always pushing and never happy until we get this done. We’ve changed the way people think about the disease, and we know there’s an end, and we’ll find it.”

He also spoke about the deeply personal decision to publicly share his diagnosis seven years after learning he had the disease. At first, he wasn’t sure how it would be received.

“I went online and into Parkinson’s chat rooms, and I would go in anonymously, and would ask, ‘What do you think of this Michael Fox thing?’” he said. “And they would say, ‘It’s great.’ I would think, ‘You’re celebrating my having Parkinson’s.’ But then I got it.”

Ultimately, he came to see his role differently.

“The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was a privilege, and in a way, a gift,” Fox said. “It’s a gift that keeps on taking, but if I look at the positive side of it…this is a role that I fell into and I found myself uniquely qualified to fulfill.”

Still, he made clear he has no intention of backing down.

“[Parkinson’s] is the biggest bully there is for me,” he said. “And I’m not just going to let it get its way. We’re going to have a fight and I’m going to get a few punches in. I may get beat up in the long run, but we’ll get it done. I’m a — pardon my language — tough son of a bitch and I’m going to get it done.”

Kohl's Chic Set of Stoneware Bowls Bring Marbled Elegance to Your Table

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 3:05pm

I will forever love the look of marble in a kitchen. Whether it's marble countertops or a marble backsplash, I'm all in. It's classic, elevated and makes you feel like you should suddenly start using words like "curated." That's right, you're an interior designer now. But here's the thing, as much as I adore marble in theory, I don't necessarily want to eat my Tuesday night pasta out of a slab of it.

Marble dishware can be heavy and a little high-maintenance. Plus, I don't want to stress about staining it with marinara. I want to enjoy dinner, not worry about whether turmeric just changed my bowl's pretty aesthetic forever. That's where stoneware is a real table setting winner. It's sturdy, microwave-friendly and holds heat well. But what if you could have both the ease of stoneware and the look of marble? Well, let me introduce you to my latest find at Kohl's.

Helholm 2-Pack Stoneware Bowl Grey Marble Collection, $70.06 at Kohl's

Kohl's

The retailer is selling the most chic set of two Helholm Stoneware Bowls in a grey marble colorway. They're perfect for making everyday meals look a little stylish (hey, you eat with your eyes first). Use them for your morning yogurt with berries, a grain bowl, pasta, soup or even a small side salad.

These stoneware marble bowls are also ideal for "low-effort but make it pretty" hosting. Fill them with olives, nuts or snack mixes when friends come over. Alternatively, you could use them for dips or guac. Even a simple scoop of ice cream feels fancier in a marble-look bowl.

On top of those ideas, these can be great beyond food. A pair of bowls on your coffee table holding wrapped candies looks fancy. Or one by the sink for rings while you do dishes is a stylish and helpful way to use them.

While the manufacturer recommends handwashing the set before its first use, it is dishwasher-, microwave- and freezer-safe. Plus, they're oven safe up to 428°F. I certainly wouldn't try to cook anything in the oven with these, but it's a nice-to-have option if you want to pop them in at a low temperature to warm something up.

Saddest Country Song of the 1980s Was Recorded by Former Marine

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 3:01pm

Country music is so littered with sad songs that it's a well-worn joke: what do you get when you play a country song backwards? You get your wife back, your dog back, your truck back…and in case of what Taste of Countrycalled the Saddest Country Song of the 1980s, you get your life back.

George Jones' "He Stopped Loving Her Today"was crowned the saddest of all '80s country songs, a somber, downtrodden, twangy tune that swells into pure honky-tonk heartbreak. Written by Bobby Braddock and Curly Putnam, it's Jones' personal pain that comes through with each note.

And if there were anyone to sing this song, it would be a former Marine with a history full of broken bottles and broken marriages.

George Jones Served In The Marine Corps

George Jones—born in Saratoga, Texas, in 1931—joined the Marine Corps in late 1951, serving the majority of his service at Camp Pendleton in San Diego County.

According to the Texas State Historical Association, Jones' enlistment wasn't out of patriotic pride. He had been jailed that September for failing to pay child support to his first wife, Dorothy Bonvillion. The judge suggested that Jones join the Marine Corps to avoid further jail time, and so he did.

Jones served until 1953, returning to East Texas after his discharge, and began his career as a singer. In 1959, he had his first No. 1 country song with "White Lightnin'." From there, George Jones became one of country music's biggest stars of the day, amassing a string of chart-toppers like "Tender Years," "She Thinks I Still Care," and "Walk Through This World With Me."

George Jones' Music Career: Highs & Lows

But, as the decade wore on, Jones' demons got the better of him.

One of his notorious drinking stories came when he was drunk for several days. His then-wife, Shirley Corley, hid the keys to all their cars so he couldn't drive to the nearby town of Beaumont, Texas, to buy liquor. So, he decided to fire up the rideable lawn mower to make the 8-mile trek.

"There, gleaming in the glow, was that 10-horsepower rotary engine under a seat, a key glistening in the ignition," he wrote in his autobiography, per Houston Press. "I imagine the top speed for that old mower was five miles per hour. It might have taken an hour and a half or more for me to get to the liquor store, but get there I did."

Tammy Wynette, whom Jones married in 1969, also claimed to have seen George make a beer run while aboard a John Deere.

Though Jones and Wynette's marriage took their careers to a new level, his substance abuse issues led to their divorce in 1975, per Biography. She claimed in her 1979 autobiography that he once chased her through their home with a loaded rifle; he denied that claim in his 1996 memoir.

Which is all to say that Jones was at a low point at the end of the 1970s. Nicknamed "No-Show Jones" for all the concerts he missed, the curtain almost fell on his career.

"He Stopped Loving Her Today" Was George Jones' Comeback

"He Stopped Loving Her Today" details a man whose lover leaves him, but he vows to love her until he dies. Eventually, she returns to him…as he's being lowered into his grave. Ergo, the title, and why "he stopped loving her today."

"This isn't just the greatest sad country song of the 1980s — it might be the greatest sad country song of all time," wrote Carena Liptak when documenting the 20 Saddest Country Songs of the 1980s for Taste of Country. "Here, Jones describes an unrequited love so powerful, the only thing that can end it is death."

Jones initially hated the song. "He thought it was too long, too sad, too depressing, and that nobody would ever play it. He was going through hard times then," said producer Billy Sherrill, according to American Songwriter. "And I was having a hell of a time even getting him into the studio at all. He hated the song, hated the melody, and wouldn't even learn it. This went on for a long time."

Jones reportedly told Shirrell that "nobody'll buy that morbid son of a bitch," though record sales proved them wrong. To put it simply, I was back on top. Just that quickly," said Jones. "I don't want to belabor this comparison, but a four-decade career had been salvaged by a three-minute song. There is a God."

Charts and Awards

"He Stopped Loving Her Today" went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Charts. The song won the Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance, the Academy of Country Music's Single of the Year and Song of the Year, and the Country Music Association's Song of the Year.

Why The Song Endures

"He Stopped Loving Her Today" kicked off Jones' comeback, and he would top the country chart a few more times during the 1980s. In the 1990s, as country music shifted towards a pop-oriented sound, Jones would champion the genre's traditional music stylings. He'd record and perform throughout the 1990s and 2000s.

Jones was scheduled to perform his final concert in November 2013, but he passed away in April of that year after being hospitalized with irregular blood pressure.

Considered to be the greatest country singer of all time, "He Stopped Loving Her Today" endures as a testament to George Jones's career.

"It's never been for love of money. I thank God for it because it makes me a living. But I sing because I love it," he told Billboardin 2006. The man loved country music, and when he died, he stopped loving it that day.

‘Gilmore Girls’ Star Reunites With Milo Ventimiglia for Emotional New Movie

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 2:59pm

Actress Arielle Kebbel opened up about reuniting on the big screen with her formerGilmore Girls castmate Milo Ventimiglia.

In a February 2026 interview with Extra TV, Kebbel discussed filming the new movie, I Can Only Imagine 2, wherein she plays musician Tim Timmons' (Ventimiglia) wife, Hilary Timmons. She noted that she and Ventimiglia both appeared in Gilmore Girls as their respective characters, Lindsay Lister Forester and Jess Mariano. In the hit WB show, which had a 7-season run until 2007, Jess was Rory Gilmore's (Alexis Bledel) complicated love interest. Meanwhile, Lindsay was the wife of Rory's first boyfriend, Dean Forester, played byJared Padalecki. Dean and Lindsay's marriage dissolved after he had an affair with Rory.

Kebbel, who remained on the Gilmore Girls cast from season 3 to 6, shared that she was happy to co-star with Ventimiglia again for I Can Only Imagine 2.

"I was like, Team Jess all the way," quipped Kebbel.

She also said "the idea of a reunion was very exciting" because she and Ventimiglia "were babies when [they] filmed Gilmore Girls." In addition, Kebbel told the publication that neither she nor Ventimiglia knew how much of a cultural impact Gilmore Girls would end up having while they were shooting the series.

"None of us knew at that time that it was going to have this cult following that it still has today. And so to see the evolution of that show and then, you know, you get a call one day about possibly working together again, it's kind of like those are the really fun moments in our business that you can't ever really see coming and you're like, 'Oh my god, here it is. Let's do it,'" said Kebbel during the Extra TV interview.

Kebbel then complimented Ventimiglia for his performance as Tim in I Can Only Imagine 2, which premiered on February 20.

"He's such a pro. And he really dove into the work with Tim so deeply. Our scenes, we go a lot from like laughing to crying," said Kebbel in the interview. "And there's such an emotional journey there. And he's a very like grounding, calming kind of presence to have on set, so that was really nice to work with."

Milo Ventimiglia Discussed the Legacy of 'Gilmore Girls'

In a 2023 interview with InStyle, Ventimiglia commented on the long-lasting legacy of Gilmore Girls. He complimented the show's co-creators,Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino, for their ability to craft timeless, captivating stories. According to Ventimiglia, his friend's young daughter, who was 7 at the time of the interview, began watching Gilmore Girls and was impressed by Rory's academic career.

"She's just now starting to watch Gilmore Girls and already said she wants to go to Harvard because of Rory Gilmore and it's like that's so cool. I mean for a show that's more than 20 years old to be picked up by someone as young as seven now, and is understood and the kid is inspired by it, that's genius level writing," said the This Is Us actor in the 2023 interview.

Ventimiglia returned to play Jess for the 2016 four-episode Netflix revival, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life.

Paul McCartney Gets 'Very Emotional' Seeing Linda Again in 'Man on the Run' Doc

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 2:57pm

Paul McCartney admitted that seeing his late wife and former Wings bandmate,Linda McCartney, in his new documentary, Man on the Run, left him "very emotional."

At the screening of his latest film, which explores his life after the Beatles and the formation of Wings, McCartney reflected with Us Weekly, "I think all the stuff with the kids and Linda is lovely to see. I mean, obviously, the Linda stuff was very emotional. She looks so beautiful. She’s so cool.”

He continued, "Me and Linda interacting is very special, because she's not here. Seeing the kids little, 'cause they know they're not little anymore ... they've got kids of their own. Linda, the kids, me and John [Lennon], just these memories ... it's like a life flashing in front of me."

According to the outlet, several of the photos and home videos featured in the documentary were taken by Linda, adding a special and deeply personal touch to the film. McCartney later admitted he had long believed the footage was gone for good and was stunned when it resurfaced.

"Because in the ’60s and ’70s, you’d have a lot of break-ins. You wouldn’t really bother locking your door too much. So fans would come in, just nicking a lot of stuff. It was just like … it was how it was," he said, adding, "So I kind of automatically just thought, ‘Well, it’s all gone. But [the] kids at my office were fantastic. They looked in every little, you know, storage units and every little drawer and everything, and they found it all.”

Paul and Linda wed in March 1969, and went on to raise four children together: Heather, 63, whom Paul adopted, Stella, 54; Mary, 53; and James, 48.

According to Concord, in 1971, just a year after the Beatles disbanded, Paul and Linda formed Wings, with their 1973 album Band on the Run one of the best-selling albums of the decade. The band had incredible hits, including "Live and Let Die," "Jet," and "Silly Love Songs." They ultimately broke up in 1981.

Paul and Linda were married until her death from breast cancer in 1998. She was 56. Paul later remarried Heather Mills in 2002, and the couple welcomed a daughter, Beatrice. After years of separation, their divorce was finalized in 2008, per Cosmopolitan. In 2011, Paul married Nancy Shevell, and the couple has been together since.

Jack in the Box Adds Limited-Time Twist to Menu — And It’s Dividing Customers

Fri, 02/20/2026 - 2:54pm

Jack in the Box is aiming to tap into a popular trend with some out of the box thinking. The chain just added two new items to its menu, but they are available for a limited time.

According to a February 19 press release, Jack in the Box is "turning a trend into true innovation" with the release of matcha drinks.

When people think of Jack in the Box, they typically think of burgers, tacos, fries, and shakes. Now, however, the company is aiming to add their matcha creations to the list of fan favorites.

Jack in the Box now offers a matcha iced latte as well as an Oreo matcha shake.

View this post on Instagram

Ciaran Duffy, the Jack in the Box Executive Chef, explained the additions were "about expanding the flavor palate, and not just pushing indulgence for indulgence sake."

He continued, "While we're known for bold, craveable food, we're also focused on evolving with consumer tastes and where trends are headed, especially with younger Millenials and Gen Z."

The matcha latte and Oreo matcha shake are currently available via the Jack in the Box app, online, or in restaurants.

The announcement shared via the company's Instagram page prompted a flurry of positive responses. A few customers noted they had already given either the latte or the shake a try.

"This is the last thing I expect to order at Jack BUT I'm loyal to you so I guess I'll try it," one customer commented.

Another person excitedly wrote, "WHAAAAA- THAT LOOKS SOOO GOOD."

Comments in all capital letters was a bit of a theme, as another Instagram user raved, "DADDY JACK WITH ALL THE NEW STUFF."

"I NEED NOWWWW," declared someone else.

An additional customer added, "MATCHA MADNESS!!"

The matcha items have only just become available, but customers are already suggesting additions and modifications. Some are hoping to see Jack in the Box add boba or thai tea, while someone else suggested adding strawberry syrup.

One customer who had already purchased one of the new items admitted they were "a little conflicted." They explained, "I WISH it had more flavor on the matcha part. It was just a little sweet."

Someone else revealed, "For me [it] was way too sweet with a hint of matcha. I didn't like it."

On the contrary, another commenter gushed, "I tried the matcha oreo shake. It was delicious!"
