WWE is officially heading to Italy for the first time ever!

WWE announced that Clash in Italy will take place on May 31, 2026, at Turin’s Inalpi Arena. After years of waiting, Italian fans will finally get a chance to see CM Punk, Roman Reigns, Rhea Ripleyand more Superstars in person.

Plus, with Clash In Italy happening just after WrestleMania 42, the in-ring action will be as hot as Italian food is delicious.

How to Watch WWE Clash in Italy

Fans can watch this and all WWE Premium Live Events on ESPN+ and the ESPN app; or, if you have a Disney+ bundle with Hulu and ESPN, you can also watch Clash in Italy. Click here for more info.

The June 1 episode of Monday Night Raw will also take place at the Inalpi Arena; the WWE will then hit up Paris’ Accor Arena the following week on Monday, June 8, and London’s O2 Arena on Monday, June 22.

Clash in Italy will be the WWE’s second post-WrestleMania PLE in May, following Backlash on May 9. Both events promise to settle any lingering fallout from WrestleMania 42, the two-night event taking place April 18-19 at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium.

WrestleMania 42: What We Know So Far

There are four matches set, with more to come in the following weeks. Liv Morgan, winner of the 2026 Women’s Royal Rumble, will challenge either Stephanie Vaquer for the Women’s World Championship or Jade Cargil for the WWE Women’s Championship. Roman Reigns, winner of the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble, has already picked his opponent: CM Punk. These two will battle for the World Heavyweight Championship.

The upcoming Elimination Chamber PLE will determine who challenges Drew McIntyre for the Undisputed WWE Championship, as six male WWE Superstars will battle it out in the confines of the titular Chamber. Similarly, six female WWE Superstars will compete in their Chamber match to see who challenges whoever Morgan doesn’t pick.

WrestleMania used to be the final chapter for WWE wrestling storylines, but in recent years, it’s been the start. Last year, heelish John Cenadefeated Cody Rhodes with help from rapper Travis Scottto win the Undisputed WWE Championship. Seth Rollins stunned both CM Punk and Roman Reigns, kicking off a run that resulted in the formation of The Vision, a group currently terrorizing Raw.

Clash in Italy could redefine the championship picture heading into the summer. WWE’s first Italian Premium Live Event is already shaping up to be must-see television.

Why ‘Clash In Italy’ Is A Historic Event

Clash in Italy marks a shift in the WWE’s approach to its audiences. For most of its history, the company held its major events within North America, relying exclusively on revenue from the pay-per-view (PPV) market. With the rise of streaming services and shifts in viewers’ viewing habits, the sports entertainment titan has been able to capitalize on its European markets by holding events overseas without alienating viewers at home.

In 2022, the WWE held Clash at the Castle, its first major stadium event in the United Kingdom since 1992’s SummerSlam and its first UK PPV/PLE event since Insurrextion in 2003. The UK audience was incredibly lively, in a good way, prompting the WWE to return the following year with Money In The Bank at London’s O2 Arena.

Ever since, there has been at least one European event per year. 2024 saw Backlash at the LDLC Arena in Décines-Charpieu, in the Metropolis of Lyon, France (an event known for the positive crowd interaction with the show, which elevated the atmosphere for those in the ring and those watching at home). Later in the year, the WWE held its second Clash at the Castle, this time at the OVO Hydro arena in Glasgow, Scotland, and Bash In Berlin, at the Uber Arena in Berlin, Germany.

In 2025, the WWE truncated the event name to simply Clash with Clash in Paris, an event that saw John Cena defeat Logan Paulas part of his retirement tour.

The Pioneer Woman star, Ree Drummond, revealed an unexpected home emergency in a nail-biting Instagram post.

On February 18, Drummond shared details of the problem, which occurred during an ice storm that spanned multiple states. Oklahoma was one of the states affected, along with 19 other states across the country that dealt with freezing temperatures, power outages, snow, and ice storms.

Along with four photographs of her husband, Ladd Drummond, chopping ice on the property's ponds, Drummond shared an explanation of how the family fared during that weather-related experience. She revealed how they kept daily ranch life moving despite the harsh conditions.

"Just found these pics I took of Ladd chopping ice three weeks ago. (Has it been that long since our winter storm?) Fortunately, these kinds of freezing temps—low enough that the ponds freeze—don’t last for too terribly long each winter," she began her post.

"But just as important as the feed and the hay are when it comes to getting cattle through the storm, is the chopping of ice in the ponds. They have to have daily access to water!"

Drummond concluded, "Ironically, Ladd and I went 12 days without running water during this same cold snap (along with many other rural residents in the area). Made for some interesting days, and our bottle calf got to drink milk replacer mixed with bottled spring water there for a week or two! Anyway, water’s back on now, ponds are all thawed, and lemme tell ya, I have ZERO complaints!"'

Fans responded to her post by flooding the comments with messages of support. Many also shared their own winter mishap stories, relating to the unexpected challenges of cold weather.

"Glad you are all through that now. It’s not fun when there’s no water," wrote one follower.

"This breaking the ice was no joke this go around! I had to do it. Wells froze, etc… I’m praying for summer!" penned a second social media user.

A third fan said of Ladd, "He's a keeper." A fourth fan claimed, "It’s like being a real 'pioneer woman' right? Glad the storm has passed!"

Ree Drummond stars in Food Network's The Pioneer Woman.

Fresh off a gold medal win in Milan, Mikaela Shiffrin proved that even Olympic champions can have very human moments.

The 30-year-old Team USA skier appeared live on Today on Thursday, February 19, just one day after capturing gold in the women’s slalom at the Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. While reflecting on an emotional moment atop the mountain—where she spoke to her late father, Jeff Shiffrin, who died in 2020—things took an unexpected turn.

“There’s been, definitely, a spiritual journey I’ve been on the last year. I just, I don’t know, I took a moment and I said…f**king,” Shiffrin began, before realizing her mistake and blurting out another profanity. “S**t!” She immediately covered her mouth, adding, “Oh my God, I’m so sorry.”

The studio hosts were quick to laugh it off. “We got you!” Hoda Kotb assured her. “We’ll pay the fine,” she joked, referencing FCC rules. Craig Melvin chimed in, “We know what you meant. We know what you meant. You’re wearing gold! It’s okay. It’s okay,” later adding, “She’s just like us!”

Shiffrin, however, struggled to shake the flub. “Oh my God, that’s so bad,” she said, before blaming celebratory espresso martinis handed to her by teammates the night before. “Everyone kept handing me espresso martinis because I said it was my destiny to have one last night,” she explained. “So everyone kept bringing them to me, but then they would also say—which may be some of the reason for the swearing, so sorry again—but no, they just kept handing them to me. They’re like, ‘But pace yourself. Here’s another but pace yourself.’”

The candid moment comes just days after Shiffrin addressed another viral topic—her eyebrow. After fans noticed she appeared to be missing part of one, the skier joked on Instagram, “If you see me in the next few weeks with half an eyebrow, no you didn’t.” She explained that a past injury left a scar that grows “a little bit funky like a Truffula Tree,” and a grooming experiment before the Games didn’t go exactly as planned.

“How bad could it be? Because I have the scar already, there’s a map on my face. I will follow the map,” she revealed of her plan to pluck a few hairs to get a “cool” eyebrow look. And makeup didn’t do the trick to cover up her flub, either. “I sweat predominantly from my eyebrows and upper lip with goggles,” meaning there’s a “high likelihood that I’m going to cross the finish line and I’ll just have half an eyebrow.”

In addition, the show, billed as “Be Human: A Concert for Minneapolis,” will be broadcast for free on Minnesota Public Radio station The Current in Minneapolis and St. Paul on 89.3 FM and streamed via TheCurrent.org. There is also a paid audio and video streaming option through VEEPS available for 48 hours that will give fans their only opportunity to see Carlisle’s “The Human Tour” from the comfort of their own homes. Carlile is set to hit the stage at 8:15 p.m. CT, while support act the Head and the Heart will open the show at 7 p.m. CT.

“I couldn’t bring myself to get onstage in Minneapolis in front of over 12,000 people without recognizing what Minnesotans are going through,” Carlile said in a statement. “I wanted to take this opportunity to harness the power of music and raise funds for The Advocates for Human Rights, who need our funding to heal generations of trauma at the hands of ICE. Now, more than ever, it is vital that we continue to hold each other and take action to stop the hate that is spreading through our country. What affects one of us, affects all of us and we need to continue to look out for each other.”

After performing “America the Beautiful” backed by SistaStrings at Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 to rave reviews, Carlile kicked off her “The Human Tour” with sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden in New York, the Xfinity Mobile Arena in Philadelphia and TD Garden in Boston. The world tour is set to continue through fall with stops at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif., The O2 Arena in London, 3Arena in Dublin, and La Seine Musicale in Paris.

Other special guests over the weekend include Sheryl Crow, Indigo Girls, Bonnie Raitt, Wynonna Judd, I’m With Her, Brittney Spencer and Sara Bareilles.

Ben Solo/Kylo Ren actor Adam Driversent shockwaves through the Star Warsfandom in October 2025 by revealing that a brand-new Star Wars movie, set after The Rise of Skywalker, had been in the works. The movie, titled The Hunt for Ben Solo, would have seen Driver back in his fan-favorite role of iconic characters Leia Organa and Han Solo's son, Ben, following his death in the final sequel trilogy movie.

However, Driver shared that Disney had shot the movie down, despite him being on board, Lucasfilm loving the script and award-winning director Steven Soderbergh heading up the project. The news led to such outcry, in fact, that Disney CEO Bob Iger was being flooded with messages demanding The Hunt for Ben Solo move forward, and a full-fledged "Save The Hunt for Ben Solo" campaign began.

Now, Soderbergh has shared additional insight in a statement about the movie, saying, "We were all frustrated. You know, that was two-and-a-half years of free work for me and Adam [Driver] and Rebecca Blunt. When Adam and I discussed him talking about it publicly, I said, 'Look, do not editorialize or speculate about the why. Just say what happened, because all we know is what happened.' The stated reason was 'We don’t think Ben Solo could be alive.' And that was all we were told. And so there’s nothing to do about it, you know, except move on."

He continued, "I’d kind of made the movie in my head and just felt bad that nobody else was going to get to see it. I thought the conversation was strictly going to be a practical one—where they go, what is this going to cost? And I had a really good answer for that. But it never even got to that point. It’s insane. We’re all very disappointed."

This update from Soderbergh has reignited fan outrage online, with many only becoming increasingly frustrated over Disney's decision on the movie. One Instagram post included a description of Soderbergh's words along with a clip from Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, in which Peter Quill becomes enraged and shoots his father multiple times. If the outrage wasn't clear enough in that video, the comments make fans' frustrations clearly known.

One commenter wrote, "Yeah we ride at dawn," and another said, "Genuinely hate whoever decided against it. It's so clear Ben Solo is POSSIBLY still alive in canon." One comment tagged Josh D'Amaro, who will become the new CEO of Disney in March, and said, "@joshdamaro if you’re seeing this, this was for decisions made before you. You can still change things and make right what was done wrong. Please greenlight #thehuntforbensolo."

Whether Disney will ever change its mind about this movie is a major question mark. Star Wars is a franchise known for making massive changes to upcoming movies and TV shows—although, unfortunately, that has often meant cancelling them, not resurrecting them. It's therefore possible that The Hunt for Ben Solo will eventually come to be, particularly with Disney's change of hands.

In the meantime, though, fan frustrations don't seem to have died down; if anything, they've intensified.

Duncan Hines agrees: the secret to life is keeping looking up. So it's giving home bakers something to look forward to, a collaboration with the Peanuts franchise.

Earlier this week, images of the upcoming partnership leaked and eventually went viral online. Social media users immediately declared the collab "so cute," and most agree (including us) that these baking mixes sound "so good."

It looks like it's going to be a while before shoppers see the items on shelves, but that just gives everyone ample time to plan which one to make first. For everything we know about the new Duncan Hines x Peanuts-inspired boxed mixes, keep reading.

Duncan Hines Teams Up With the Peanuts Franchise to Launch 4 New Baking Mixes

After the images began gaining traction online, Parade was able to confirm the existence of all four of the new treats. However, only preliminary information has been made available, so many questions still remain.

What we absolutely do know is that an all-new Duncan Hines Charlie Brown-ie Blondie Bar Mix, Snoopy Skate Yellow Cupcake Kit, Snoopy Crinkle Cookie Mix and Peppermint Patty Peppermint-Flavored Brownie Mix will all be heading out later this year.

The exact descriptions, retailers that plan to carry the items, their prices, and how long the collaboration will be available are currently unclear, but fans don't seem to mind all the unknowns at this point.

"Lmaooo I’m crying at the Charlie Brown-ie so cuteee," one wrote on Instagram.

"Sooo cute!" a second cheered. "I would totally buy them. I am Peanuts obsessed!"

"I will buy them all!" a third agreed. "Snoopy is my favorite!"

Someone else joked, "This is Lucy erasure (I’ll still buy all 4)."

"Good Grief…" one more teased.

From what Parade understands, Duncan Hines' Peanuts-themed boxed baking mixes are almost ready to head out. A spokesperson tells us that the collection isn't due to be released until August, so as we inch closer to its release date, more intel will be shared. And once we know more, so will you!

That said, many were wondering why the collaboration would launch this year, instead of last year, when we were all celebrating the 75th anniversary of the franchise and the 60th anniversary of A Charlie Brown Christmas. While we don't know the real reason for sure, at least not currently, we can speculate that maybe this line is celebrating some of the now-iconic details that were added to the series after its first anniversary—like the first appearance of Snoopy's Doghouse or the first time Charlie Brown falls for Violet's football gag.

Is this collaboration something you'll be looking forward to over the next six months? If so, let us know which boxed mix you're grabbing first in the comments!

Hailey Bieber was on-hand to support husband Justin Bieber's standout performance at the 2026 Grammy Awards. She also stunned on the red carpet of a recent Wuthering Heights premiere (see above photo).

In addition to making the rounds at prestigious Hollywood events, the model and socialite, 29, just opened up about her health journey following a mini-stroke she suffered at age 25 — and how the perspective on her well-being then shifted.

“That situation made me a little bit extra hyper-aware of my body and a little bit more nervous about things and staying on top of them,” Hailey told host Jake Shane during the Wednesday, Feb. 18 episode of the Therapuss podcast. “But I’ve just always been really focused and fascinated on health.”

Bieber added, "I just am so fascinated with the body and medicine and doctors. And I love it... It was also kind of what led me to want to [launch my company] Rhode. My obsession with skin care also comes from my obsession with medicine."

Hailey — who shares 17-month-old son Jack Blues with husband Justin, 31 — also provided background on her "crazy medical situation" from four years back and, as Us Weekly notes, what came after.

"Then I found that I had this heart defect that I was born with, so I had to get surgery for it, which sounds really crazy," she told Shane, 26. "But they went through my groin and I was in and out of the hospital the same day.”

Both Justin and Hailey made a notable red-carpet appearance at the recent Grammys when they donned matching “ICE OUT” pins, a phrase that has become a visible form of protest against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The pins were clearly visible in red carpet photographs from the night, placing the couple among several artists who used awards season appearances to make political statements beyond music.

The Droughtlander is about to end when the highly anticipated eighth and final season of Outlander premieres on Friday, March 6. The story picks up where Season 7 ended, but the key news is that Jamie (Sam Heughan) is finally able to take Claire (Caitríona Balfe) home to Fraser’s Ridge, where a happy surprise awaits them.

As the two readjust to life on the Ridge, they meet dozens of new arrivals and discover changes to their community made during their years away fighting for the American cause. Fraser’s Ridge is now a thriving settlement, one that has been operating without the Frasers or their influence for some time.

The Frasers soon learn that leaving the war behind is not as easy as they believed, especially when they meet supporters of the King among the new arrivals, including Captain Charles Cunningham (Kieran Bew), a retired British soldier, who gives lip service to the fact that he’s put the Revolutionary War behind him.

In this exclusive first-look, Jamie and the Captain have a conversation, where Jamie is surprised – and suspicious – to learn that Cunningham served in the King’s army.

Outlander -- Season 8 -- Jamie and Captain Cunningham (1:04)

“You are correct that I am retired,” Cunningham tells Jamie. “Though I prefer to retain the appellation of Captain, less as a measure of honor and more because I’ve never liked the name Charles. Although in all honesty, after 30 years serving in his Majesty’s army, I suppose I am just used to it.”

“You fought for the King?” Jamie asks, startled.

“Yes, but I laid down my sword after the Battle of Bemis Heights [the Second Battle of Saratoga]. I understand you, too, were at Saratoga,” Cunningham says

To which Jamie honestly replies, “Aye, but we would have been on opposite sides of the same battlefield.”

Trying to assuage Jamie, Cunningham says, “War is a terrible thing. I am most happy to be done with it.”

Jamie smiles, but does he believe that Cunningham is actually an ally, or is he reserving judgment as to what come when the war reaches Fraser’s Ridge.

In Season 8, Jamie and Claire learn that leaving the war behind is not as easy as they believed and are soon confronted with the question of what they are willing to sacrifice for the place they call home -- even as it changes around them -- and more importantly, what they would sacrifice to stay together.

Outlander also stars Sophie Skelton as Brianna MacKenzie, Richard Rankin as Roger MacKenzie, John Bell as Young Ian Murray, David Berry as Lord John Grey, Charles Vandervaart as William Ransom, and Izzy Meikle-Small as Rachel Murray. 

Outlander is set to premiere on Friday, March 6 at midnight ET on the STARZ app, all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms. New episodes are available to stream weekly on Fridays at midnight on the STARZ app and all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms.

The fixed modality in astrology is represented by the fixed zodiac signs: Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. These four star signs are known for their determination and consistency, which enable them to excel in their pursuits. They are steadfast partners who support you through thick and thin, remaining firm in their opinions unless they choose to change them over time. Their reliability helps to earn our trust.

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE - THE MODALITIES IN ASTROLOGY:

What Are The Fixed Signs?

The fixed signs occur at the peak of each season, embodying the raw symbolic energy of a season's midpoint.The fixed zodiac signs are Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, and Aquarius. Taurus occurs in mid-spring in the Northern Hemisphere and mid-fall in the Southern Hemisphere. Leo falls in the middle of summer in the Northern Hemisphere and winter in the Southern Hemisphere. Scorpio is associated with mid-fall in the Northern Hemisphere and spring in the Southern Hemisphere. Finally, Aquarius is positioned between winter in the Northern Hemisphere and summer in the Southern Hemisphere. The fixed signs are known for being diligent workers and the busy bees of the zodiac.

INSIGHTFUL: What Degrees Mean in Astrology (And Why They Matter)

What Do The Fixed Signs Mean in Astrology?

Fixed signs are known for resilience, determination, and a focused, fixed mindset. Again, this is because they are born in the midst of each of the four seasons, determined to align with the symbolic energy of that season. Sometimes it can border on rigidity and stubbornness. Therefore, their focused intentions can be both a blessing and a curse. Their reluctance to consider different perspectives can hinder their personal growth at times; however, it also allows them to provide stability and maintain a straightforward approach to life. As “doers,” they prefer to live comfortable and harmonious lives, free from drama or conflict. Fixed signs enjoy their routines, striving to complete their work, receive rewards, and then rest, only to repeat the same cycle the next day.

How Do the Fixed Signs Differ From the Cardinal or Mutable Signs?

Fixed signs are known for their resistance to change; they prefer to maintain the status quo and stick to the lifestyles they are accustomed to. In contrast to mutable signs—Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, and Pisces—that thrive in chaotic environments due to their adaptability, and cardinal signs like Aries, Cancer, Libra, and Capricorn, the initiators of each season, bringing new beginnings, the fixed signs prioritize order and stability. These signs occur in the middle of each season, focusing on cosmic "projects" inspired by the cardinal signs, and await the finishing cosmic "touches" from the mutable signs.

Justine Bateman rose to fame as Mallory Keaton on the beloved '80s series Family Ties, and she's celebrating her 60th birthday on Thursday.

The former child actress, who is the sister of actor Jason Bateman, became a household name as Mallory on the series, which followed two former hippies, Steven and Elyse Keaton, as they raised their family during the Reagan era. Of course, that included their aspiring capitalist son, Alex, played by Michael J. Fox in his breakthrough role. The series became a favorite throughout the '80s, and showed the sharp contrast between the ideals of the baby boomer generation and their children. Bateman's character epitomized the ditzy, fashion-obsessed culture of the era, but grew to possess more depth over the run of the series, which dealt with some significant cultural issues ranging from alcoholism to teenage pregnancy. And of course, who could forget the beloved theme song?

Bateman Isn't Afraid to Voice Her Opinions

A popular voice on social media, Bateman frequently sounds off on topical issues. One of those issues is the use of AI in film. She's the founder of Credo23, a council that reviews films and series that want a stamp to alert viewers that no generative AI was used in the making of their production.

Bateman previously told USA Today why she feels so strongly about bolstering filmmaking that doesn't use AI.

"It was clear, to me, over two years ago, that AI was going to be part of the demise of our business," she told the publication, calling AI "basically vomit." "I mean, there are a lot of factors, but that's definitely the nail in the coffin."

Bateman isn't afraid to speak her mind on politics, either. Back in September, she spoke about political polarization, particularly in the wake of the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

"I don't know that we should be trying to bring the left and the right together. I think we should join together on different levels, like sane or insane," Bateman told Fox News. "To me, it's really that simple. It's not about politics.  I don't care how you live your life. I don't care who you're attracted to or how you want to consider yourself. To me, it doesn't matter.

"And looking at it like that, we can look at the Charlie Kirk assassination and say, ‘Wow, this is completely out of hand. That should never have happened,'" she said. "And this thing that the media is doing — and the politicians too — but especially the media is doing, like, ‘Whose team was this guy on?’ The murderer. ‘Was he on the left team? Was he the right team?’ And I'm like, ‘Guys, let me make it really easy for you. He was on the insane murderer team.’ I don't care about anything else. There's no other qualification," Bateman said.

Dairy Queen is getting a new milkshake flavor next week, and this menu update is coming with a little help from the Savannah Bananas.

On Thursday, the popular fast-food chain revealed it's apparently been heavily involved in the team's spring training rituals this season, gearing up to launch a frosty beverage inspired by the team's new partnership with DQ.

“The Savannah Bananas are all about having fun, and creating unforgettable moments for our fans is at the heart of everything we do,” Jared Orton, president at Savannah Bananas, shared in a statement. “This season, we’re excited to elevate those experiences through our partnership with DQ. We share a mission of spreading joy to our fans and that’s exactly what we plan to do as partners."

Dairy Queen Teams Up With the Savannah Bananas for New Shake Flavor—Which Fans Can Score for Free

According to an official description, the new shake is inspired by the "legendary fun and wild creativity" of the Savannah Bananas. It features DQ's world-famous soft serve, which is then blended with real milk, fresh banana (not banana flavor), strawberries, and chocolatey shavings before being crowned with whipped topping.

The new shake will be available at participating DQ locations nationwide beginning on Monday, Feb. 23, for a limited time (prices may vary). Should bananas not be your thing, fear not: DQ’s Mint Oreo Blizzard and the new Mint Crunchin’ Cookie Dipped Cone will launch the same day.

And that's just the start of the partnership, as the official press release reveals the two fan-favorite brands have a whole lot more potential home runs in store for the season—including ways to score freebies from DQ.

“Our partnership with the Savannah Bananas is a natural fit for DQ. We’re two brands that put the fan experience first, bring people together to create special memories, and of course, love to flip,” Maria Hokanson, executive vice president of marketing at American Dairy Queen Corporation (ADQ), added. “From pre-game pep rallies and foul-ball moments at Bananas games to stopping by DQ to try the new Savannah Bananas Split Shake, we’re excited to offer fans unforgettable fun all summer long.”

The campaign will serve up "flips, fun and tasty treats" through national TV spots and co-branded social content, as well as with its lineup of interactive experiences taking place at Savannah Bananas games across the country. While the brands plan to keep the details a secret, Parade can confirm that through the collab, fans attending Savannah Bananas games this season will have a chance to score a free DQ Shake.

Here's how it works: When a fan catches a foul ball (a signature Banana Ball moment that signals an out), the DQ Shake Snag will be triggered, rewarding new DQ Rewards members with a free small shake, redeemable through the DQ app.

There's also some special moments planned for fans off the field, too. According to the official press release, the Savannah Bananas may make pit stops at DQ locations as they travel from game to game, so keep an eye out for their bright yellow jerseys!

The year was 2004. Low-rise jeans were a requirement, "smize" wasn’t yet in the Merriam-Webster, and a five-foot-seven firecracker named Eva Pigford (now Marcille) was teaching us exactly what star quality looked like. Viewers watched her transform from the underdog of Cycle 3 into a household name, eventually shedding her Diva moniker for a versatile career as an actress and Real Housewife. But as a new Netflix documentary, Reality Check: Inside America's Next Top Model, pulls back the curtain on the darker corners of the Tyra Banksempire, even the winner is finding herself unsettled by the footage.

Marcille, now a veteran of the entertainment industry, recently sat down to process the revelations brought forth by her former castmates. While her own trajectory has been defined by gratitude, she admits the documentary paints a picture she didn't recognize from the winner's circle. She described herself as “gobsmacked” and “amazingly horrified” by the stories of other “ANTM” contestants detailed in the new series.

For those of us who grew up alongside the early 2000s reality boom, ANTM was a finishing school on ambition and cool-girl aesthetic. However, Reality Check suggests that for many, the tuition was far too high. The documentary features harrowing accounts of psychological manipulation, extreme physical tolls, and an industry that often chewed up young women and spat them out long before the final runway.

Eva Marcille, known as Eva Pigford on season 3 of “America’s Next Top Model,” which she won in 2004, says she was “gobsmacked” and “amazingly horrified” by the stories of other “ANTM” contestants detailed in a new documentary, “Reality Check.”

— CBS Mornings (@CBSMornings) February 19, 2026

Marcille’s perspective remains a nuanced balancing act. She is quick to credit the platform for the life she has built, acknowledging that her career is thanks, in part, to Tyra Banks and the competition reality show. Yet, watching the experiences of those who didn't get the "winner's edit" has forced a rethink of the institution itself. “To be a part of a club and not know what’s going on in the club is crazy,” Marcille told CBS News, highlighting the silos often created on reality sets.

The documentary revisits some of the show's most viral—and now, most scrutinized—moments. From the "we were all rooting for you" screaming matches to the forced dental surgeries and racially insensitive photo shoots, the legacy of the show is being rewritten in real-time. For an audience that remembers these episodes as Tuesday night entertainment, the hindsight offered by Reality Check is sobering.

• The Power Imbalance: Contestants discuss the "blind trust" they placed in producers who were, in reality, searching for a breaking point.
• The Industry Stigma: Many found that far from opening doors, the ANTM label became a scarlet letter in the high-fashion world.
• The Lasting Impact: Beyond the "tea," the series explores the long-term mental health challenges faced by women who were cast as villains or "lost causes."

Marcille’s career stands as the ultimate success story, but even the success stories are now grappling with the cost of the franchise’s global dominance. As the fashion industry continues its slow march toward inclusivity, the methods used by the show to toughen up young models feel increasingly like relics of a more cynical age.

Marcille’s honesty serves as a bridge for a public that loved the show but is now learning to listen to its casualties. The Diva hasn't lost her edge; she's gained the perspective that only twenty years and a very public reckoning can provide.

When looking at their ongoing operations, honeygrow is quickly becoming one of the most highly talked-about fast-casual food chains in the U.S. for a reason.

Regularly offering diners a chance to enjoy either savory stir-fried dishes or the sweeter desserts that lends the restaurant its name, honeygrow always finds a way to appeal to a growing lineup of prospective fans.

With that being said, the fast-growing food brand's latest collab might very well help rope in an even larger number of curious, hungry consumers.

According to a recent press release from the company shared with us over email, honeygrow has officially partnered with Grillo's Pickles to deliver the new Chicken Shawarma Stir-Fry.

As the menu item's name might readily suggest, the new stir-fry dish combines the signature tastes of both Chinese and Middle Eastern cuisine into one flavorful mix.

Using a base of fresh egg white noodles, the dish features a healthy combination of several distinct ingredients, including citrus garlic chicken, grape tomatoes, crisp red onion, thinly sliced zucchini, a smatter of shawarma sauce and a blended topping of tzatziki, parsley and Grillo's Hot Pickle De Gallo.

The limited-time dish will be available from now until April 20 at honeygrow locations across the country.

“The honeygrow culinary innovation process is basically a practice in how we can add more flavor, excitement and boldness into every dish, and I’m beyond excited for this spicy pickle salsa,” said Justin Rosenberg, Founder and CEO at honeygrow (via QSR Magazine).

“Grillo’s is a perfect partner for us. Like them, we’re focused on bringing color and freshness – whether that’s through food or through experience – to every single customer," Rosenberg continued. "This dish offers the ideal balance of spice, heat, comfort and flavor. It’s the thing we need to get us through this last stretch of an insane winter.”

As expected from a collab as delicious-sounding as this, the new Chicken Shawarma Stir-Fry has earned an altogether glowing response among the online community. "Yum! Can't wait to try it this week!" one fan wrote on Instagram. "Omg this sounds amazing!!" another user quickly agreed.

As fans search for more details about Chris Fusco on Love Is Blind Season 10, here’s a closer look at the military veteran who entered the pods ready to find forever and why his journey ended earlier than expected.

Who Is Chris on 'Love Is Blind' Season 10?

Chris, 33, is an account executive and military veteran who brings serious discipline and drive to the Netflix dating experiment. Whether he’s training for an Ironman triathlon or competing in jiu jitsu, Chris thrives on pushing himself physically and mentally.

RELATED: Who Got Engaged in ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 10? Meet the Couples

However, beneath that competitive edge, he describes himself as “overly optimistic about any situation,” a trait he considers his best habit. After a six year relationship ended, Chris entered the pods believing his soulmate was still out there and that Love Is Blind Season 10 could be where he finally finds her.

He made it clear he’s looking for an emotionally intelligent partner who can match his pace on the treadmill and in life. Chris is a proud pet dad to a rescue cat named Chalupa and his dog, Cookie. Any future wife would also be signing up to hear him sing to them every morning.

Why Chris and Jessica Didn’t Make It to the Altar

While Chris appeared confident about finding love sight unseen, his connection with Jessica Barrett ultimately unraveled before wedding planning ever began.

In episode 8, Chris asked Jessica whether she felt they shared a strong physical connection. She said she believed they did, but he admitted he was struggling with that aspect of their relationship.

Netflix

He explained that although their emotional bond felt real, Jessica wasn't the type of woman he typically dated outside the pods.

“Didn’t know what you looked like,” Chris said. “And for me, just to be totally honest, and without sounding like a f--king d--khead, in the normal world, I date people who f--king do like Crossfit and s--t.”

Jessica, who had been upfront about her workout routine from the start, ultimately decided to end things that same night and return home.

The breakup meant Chris’ journey on Love Is Blind Season 10 ended well before the altar, even as other couples moved forward with engagements.

Fans React to Chris on 'Love Is Blind' Season 10

After episodes 7 through 9 premiered, Chris quickly found himself in hot water with fans.

In one Reddit thread, viewers didn’t hold back.

One user wrote, “The nerve to complain that Jess doesn’t work out when he does so much and still looks so mid? Dude check yourself.”

Another commenter added, “Someone has to call out Chris for being such a loser. Making a well accomplished woman feel bad about herself for not going to the gym? Also, saying that their sex life was horrible? This has to be scripted or something. Nobody can be that punchable.”

Many commenters echoed similar sentiments and argued that his comments about physical compatibility felt unnecessary and didn’t really jive with the show’s premise.

Viewers will hopefully get to see what Chris has to say for himself at the Love Is Blind Season 10 reunion which will likely hit the streamer in mid-March.

The 1960s were a great decade for classic rock music. It was a revolutionary era of musical experimentation, featuring the rise of psychedelia, blues-rock, folk-rock and other subgenres, defined by bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix.

To commemorate the impact that '60s classic rock had on the genre, the entertainment website Collider put together a list of the 10 greatest classic rock albums of the decade to highlight the albums that resonated the most, even over 60 years later.

While iconic releases such as The Doors (1967) by The Doors, Blonde on Blonde (1966) by Bob Dylan and Abbey Road (1969) by The Beatles made the top 10 list, the album securing the No. 1 spot as the single greatest classic rock album of the '60s is Led Zeppelin's debut self-titled album Led Zeppelin I (1969).

"This one is just phenomenal for a debut, and it’s so well-paced," Collider wrote in their explanation. "Some tracks stand out more than others, but all feel essential, and even the weaker ones are still great, just not as great as the greatest ones. It’s everything classic rock could — and should — be, wrapped up in a single 45-ish-minute-long album."

The debut album peaked at No. 10 on the U.S. Billboard chart after it was released in January of 1969. It was a showcase of Led Zeppelin's ability to blend blues and hard rock together into something completely brand new — a feat the music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine described as "a significant turning point in the evolution of hard rock and heavy metal."

The album includes many of Led Zeppelin's most popular tunes, including the album opener "Good Times Bad Times" and "Dazed and Confused." The latter song — which is performed in a folk-rock style — was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994 as one of the 500 songs that shaped rock and roll.

Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page reported that the album only took 36 hours of studio time to create, which included mixing. Despite the album being a commercial success in both the U.S. and the U.K., critic reception was not so great at the start. The freshly created band was being compared to the most prominent supergroups of the time like Cream. But over time, the long-lasting legacy that Led Zeppelin I would start to reveal itself.

The album has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Rolling Stone 500 greatest albums ranking and The Times' 100 best albums of all time ranking, among many others.

Barbara Eden is taking a bit of a walk down memory lane. The iconic actress, 94, shared a video of what it would look like inside of the bottle that her on-screen character on I Dream of Jeannie called home.

"With technology, my team @tangibledreamsentertainment @pattersonlundquist produced this little video of what being inside the bottle would have looked liked like. While the inset table, oil lamp and portrait of Major Nelson is absent… the rest is EXACTLY what Jeannie would have seen. In real life, one side of the set was open for the camera and lights," Eden captioned an Instagram video on Thursday, Feb. 19.

View this post on Instagram

Fans absolutely loved the look, many feeling nostalgic now 60 years after the popular show first aired.

"We are having so much fun watching 'I Dream of Jeannie.' [I] loved the show as a kid and now loving watching it again. I love your character so much and the way you played it! I love all the characters so much. Everyone played theirs so well and I laugh so hard in all the episodes. Special effects are excellent for the time. Its impressive," one person commented on Eden's post.

"Still want my bedroom to look like this!" someone else said.

"I’ve always wanted to get inside of this," a third Instagram user wrote.

"I didn't know one side was open. Makes sense," a fourth comment read.

I Dream of Jeannie celebrated its 60th anniversary in September 2025. In an interview with Buzzfeed, Eden spoke about her bottle, telling the outlet that there were "several sets" of the bottle used for filming.

"They were huge," she recalled. "We had bottles that I would get in, bottles that showed the interior, and there was even a set for the top of the bottle, where I could hold on and look into."

Eden went on to share a story of something that happened on set.

"We were filming a scene where Jeannie was in her bottle, and she's very upset about being in the bottle. And Larry and Bill Daily [Major Healey] just walked off and left me there! And so did the whole crew! It was lunch time, and I was starving and hollering, "Let me out!" I couldn't get out by myself. You don't have ladders to get in and out of bottles," she said, laughing.

In the same interview, Eden said that she donated her bottle (the hand-held one) to the Smithsonian.

Finding the perfect everyday carry is often a game of balancing high-end style with sheer, unyielding durability. Whether you are commuting through a rain-slicked city, heading to a lecture hall, or simply navigating the chaotic aisles of a busy warehouse, the right bag needs to handle more than just your laptop. It needs to withstand the elements and occasional spills without losing its aesthetic edge or structural integrity.

Recently, savvy shoppers have been buzzing about a high-end find that usually commands a premium price tag at luxury department stores. This weather-resistant staple has become a viral sensation for its minimalist silhouette and utilitarian grit, offering a chic yet rugged solution for those who refuse to sacrifice fashion for function. The excitement surrounding this arrival is a testament to the modern consumer's desire for "affordable luxury" that can actually keep up with a fast-paced, unpredictable lifestyle.
