As the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance continues, a former Orange County prosecutor is offering insight into who may be responsible. Matt Murphy sat down for an interview on the "Prof Jo Explains" YouTube channel and said that he wouldn’t be surprised if the suspect is someone already known to authorities.

"I will bet my bottom dollar that this guy, whoever he is, turns out to be a known dude in the jail of Pima County, and I would not be at all surprised—and this is based just on my own jaded lens—if this guy hasn't been a frequent flyer and released on some ridiculous social justice program. I would not be at all surprised to see it," Murphy said.

Guthrie, 84, has been missing since Sunday, Feb. 1. Authorities have released footage from Guthrie's front stoop, showing an armed individual wearing a mask and carrying a backpack on the night of Guthrie's disappearance. However, it's been several weeks since that footage was released and no one has been apprehended in the case. Moreover, investigators have yet to name a suspect or suspects.

In his interview with Jo Potuto, Murphy criticized Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos and Pima County Attorney Laura Conover, calling the investigation a "clown show."

"The Guthrie family deserves a lot better," Murphy said.

For many of the most loyal country fans, singer, real-life cowboy, and rodeo guy George Strait, 73, is considered THE GOAT and the true "King of Country Music." It might surprise you to know, though, that his hit song "Amarillo By Morning" was originally inspired by something as simple as a FedEx television commercial.

Strait's beloved song catalog inspired a recent list of 20 country anthems, and every one of them is an anthem by George Strait himself. His hit song "Amarillo By Morning" ranks as the No. 1 George Strait anthem, according to the list on uDiscoverMusic. As justification for the top ranking, they write, "he’s the most velvety-sounding cowboy you’ve ever heard, even if occasional vibrato makes him sound like he’s holding back tears. It’s all dusty roads and wide-open spaces, as iconic a country song as exists thanks in large part to its perfect simplicity."

When Strait croons this solemn song, telling the story of a dedicated rodeo cowboy and life on the road—despite money problems, broken bones, and trouble in love—it really gets to the heart, rousing up all that good American pride, resilience, and independence.

That said, it is a little surprising to hear that a marketing slogan from FedEx gave that song its wings.

Songwriters Terry Stafford and Paul Fraser penned the song "Amarillo By Morning," which was originally released by Stafford in 1973. As reported via Country Now, the inspiration for the song came after one of Stafford's long drives from San Antonio, Texas, to his home in Amarillo, Texas—and, well, an ad on TV.

In the book The Stories Behind Country Music’s All-Time Greatest 100 Songs by Ace Collins, Fraser recalls, “One night Terry called me at home. He had been watching television and a commercial for a delivery service had just run… It got him thinking. This commercial guaranteed they could get your package to places like Amarillo by the next morning [and] he wanted to write a song around that concept.”

And the rest is history ...

When you want to refresh your space from the ground up, starting with a new rug can help you build the space around a central component. If that space is your patio, porch, or deck, a rug that holds up in the elements and is easy to clean is a must. But quality outdoor area rugs can be a big investment, and there aren't always a ton of aesthetically pleasing options at affordable price points. Thankfully, Walmart has a $20 outdoor area rug that checks all these boxes and then some.

With its large palm leaf motif and vibrant colors, the Vunate Reversible Outdoor Rug will bring resort-like vibes to your outdoor space. Starting at just $20 for the 8-by-5-foot size in navy blue and beige, the colors are inverted on the reverse side.

Speaking to its versatility, one shopper even described using this rug to cover a concrete slab outdoors to make the surface cooler for their dog. When it gets dirty, simply rinse the surface off with a water hose.

There are three things guaranteed in the world today: Death, taxes, and Jeopardy! being on. Believe it or not, the iconic game show has been on the air for over 60 years (though the modern incarnation we know and love technically debuted in 1984). Under the watchful eye of Ken Jennings (who himself was a record-breaking champion), Jeopardy! puts three people's trivia skills and reflexes to the ultimate test. And so many of the greats to grace those podiums started by simply watching the show as it aired on weekdays, as millions have done for over half a century.

Here's a spoiler-filled recap of who won Jeopardy! today, plus the answer to Final Jeopardy.

Jamie Ding continues to prove he's unstoppable! This is not an April Fools' Day joke; the law student has claimed his 14th consecutive victory with a total of $371,600.

Jessica Frankenfield is an event planner from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

George Thomas is a former engineer from Mount Prospect, Illinois.

Jamie Ding is a bureaucrat and law student from Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Ding entered the game as a 13-day champion with $360,000 in total winnings. He found all three Daily Doubles, adding $21,000 combined. He also posted a $39,200 Coryat score, tying him with former champ and host Ken Jennings for the second-highest single-game Coryat of all time. Ding was first on the buzzer on nearly 65% of clues (37 out of 57), with 43 correct answers with zero incorrect responses in the regular round.

His victory also puts him ahead of Harrison Whitaker to claim the top seed in the upcoming 34th Tournament of Champions. Despite his Final Jeopardy stumble, he easily won more than $13,999 today to accomplish the feat.

Final Jeopardy today was in the category "The Calendar."

The clue: "Mark Twain wrote the quip that on this day of the year, "we are reminded of what we are on the other 364.'"

The answer: What is April Fools' Day?

It was an appropriate April 1st clue, but the joke was on Ding, who nearly fooled himself out of his own streak with an enormous incorrect wager in what should've been a slam-dunk Final Jeopardy. Ding, who was sitting on a massive $55,800 lead, made the bold decision to wager a record-breaking $44,200, but responded, "What is Labor Day???" The incorrect response cost him a record amount in Final Jeopardy history, but his lead was so high from regular game performance that he still walked away winning his 14th consecutive game with $11,600.

Thomas did not participate in Final Jeopardy per standard rules with -$1,800, while Frankenfield wagered $800 of her $5,200 and correctly responded, "What is April Fools Day?", finishing with $6,000.

Ding will be back tomorrow for a chance at his 15th consecutive victory.

Fleetwood Mac legend Mick Fleetwood is sharing some exciting marriage news, but he's keeping a bit of information under wraps.

Fleetwood, 78, known as the drummer and co-founder of the legendary band, has been a staple of the music scene since the '60s. With the band's iconic 1977 album Rumours, they chronicled romance and heartbreak and everything in between. Fleetwood himself has seen plenty of that over the years, with four divorces under his belt. However, the ponytailed maestro is celebrating his new nuptials with a new Instagram post.

"The south Pacific does its magic !!! A honeymoon with my love Elizabeth…creating moments to be remembered !! Sun health and happiness!!" Fleetwood captioned his photo carousel, covering all photos featuring Elizabeth's face and head. The couple can be seen puckering up in front of the water with the stunning landscape of the South Pacific behind them.

If you follow Fleetwood on social media, you'll likely spot him hanging out with a variety of fellow rock stars, like Alice Cooper and Van Halen alum Sammy Hagar. The group frequently parties together on Maui, like a bunch of rock stars can.

No. Don't get your hopes up for a Fleetwood Mac reunion, because without Christine McVie, who died in 2022, it's not going to happen.

“Without Christine, no can do,” Stevie Nicks told MOJO in 2024. “There is no chance of putting Fleetwood Mac back together in any way. Without her, it just couldn’t work.”

While the band has reunited without McVie in the past, Nicks made it clear it just wouldn't be the same.

“Even if I thought I could work with Lindsey again, he’s had some health problems,” Nicks continued. “It’s not for me to say, but I’m not sure if Lindsey could do the kind of touring that Fleetwood Mac does, where you go out for a year and a half. It’s so demanding.”

Megan Thee Stallion has set her return date to the Broadway musical Moulin Rouge! after she was hospitalized Tuesday evening.

The singer is currently starring in Moulin Rouge! as Zidler told fans in an Instagram post on Wednesday, April 1 that she'll be back on stage on Thursday.

"Last night was a real wake-up call for me. I've been pushing myself past my limits lately, running on empty, and my body finally said enough. It honestly scared me. I thought I was gonna faint on stage," she began in the caption. "Hotties I wanna be real with y’all because you mean everything to me and I hate letting yall down 🥺 I just need one day to rest, reset, and take care of myself the way I should have been..I’ll be right back on that stage Thursday, stronger, clearer, and ready to give you 100% the way you deserve. Thank you for always riding with me and loving me through everything."

Representatives for Megan also shared a statement with Entertainment Weekly the circumstances that led to her hospitalization on Tuesday.

“On Tuesday evening, Megan was transported to a local hospital to undergo a medical evaluation after experiencing concerning symptoms," the statement read. "Doctors ultimately identified extreme exhaustion, dehydration, vasoconstriction and low metabolic levels as the cause of her symptoms. Megan has since been treated, discharged and is now resting."

They continued, "Megan is incredibly grateful for the prayers and well-wishes from her supporters and is looking forward to resuming her role as Zidler in Moulin Rouge! The Musical on Thursday."

The Grammy-winning artist made her Broadway debut in the iconic musical on Tuesday, March 24. Megan is set to portray Zidler until Sunday, May 17.

An iconic '80s track from the Los Angeles-based rock group Guns N' Roses almost never came to be, as members of the band have described its inspiration as nothing more than
"a joke."

While “Sweet Child O’ Mine” went on to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in Sept. 1988, guitarist Slash, who ideated the immediately recognizable opening riff, initially considered the legendary fret run to be the simple result of messing around on his guitar. In fact, he was so unserious about the melody that he likened it to both a “circus melody” and “guitar exercise,” according to uDiscoverMusic.

“Initially it was just a cool, neat riff that I’d come up with,” Slash told Total Guitar in 2012, per Universal Music Group's editorial platform. “It was an interesting pattern, and it was really melodic, but I don’t think I would have presented it to the band and said, ‘Hey, I’ve got this idea!’ because I just happened to come up with it while we were all hanging around together.”

But the rest of his bandmates latched onto the riff, and he told Guitar Edge a few years prior that they began playing chords to accompany him as he shredded his own part. "And next thing you know, it was turning into something. I really just thought of it as a joke, but lo and behold, Axl [Rose]...heard it”—and, apparently, loved it.

“Sweet Child O’ Mine” became the band's sole No. 1 in the United States, and went on to feature in several iconic franchises, including Thor, Despicable Me, The Summer I Turned Pretty, and, of course, the unforgettable car karaoke scene from Step Brothers.

Slash's riff was even ranked as one of the 100 greatest guitar solos of all time in Guitar World's 2013 compilation, and all from a song he found "really hard...to accept."

"I would’ve written that song off as history if anyone else complained about it," he admitted. "I had no idea it would become the biggest song the band ever did.”

For over a decade, the "One Chicago" shows have occupied Wednesday nights on NBC. Between Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D. and Chicago Med, Dick Wolf's ever-growing franchise has captured procedural fans' hearts all around the world. But the doctors, firefighers, and police officers of Chicago will encounter a bit of a shift this week, as two shows will be delayed in their airings in some time zones.

Here's the reason why Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. will be delayed tonight, and when fans should expect episodes to come on.

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

Yes! Though it should be noted that both Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. will be airing a smidge later in the Eastern and Central time zones this week.

Chicago Fire will air following the conclusion of President Trump's presidential speech. While the event is live, the episode is expected to commence at approximately 9:20 p.m. ET/8:20 p.m. CT.

With Chicago Fire's airing delayed, that will also impact the airing of Chicago P.D. Right now, P.D. is scheduled to air at 10:20 p.m. ET/9:20 p.m. CT. No word as to how that will affect the airing of local news in the Eastern time zone.

Both Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. are delayed due to a special address from President Donald Trump. On March 31, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that he would be doing an "address to the nation" the next evening. The speech is set to run at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT, smack dab in the middle of primetime programming.

No. As Chicago Med comes on before President Trump's speech, it will air as intended at 8:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. CT.

Luckily for those of you in the Pacific time zone, you won't need to worry about any of the "One Chicago" shows getting interrupted or delayed. As the president's speech will take place at 6:00 p.m. PT, it should be done well before the primetime lineup kicks off.

This pair leans into breezy, picnic-ready charm with its classic gingham upper — offered in four colorways (light blue, red, pink, or black, all paired with crisp white) that give it that timeless, sun-drenched appeal. The silhouette blends a Mary Jane flat with espadrille influences, featuring a rounded toe, a slim strap across the instep, and a small gold-tone buckle that’s adjustable. 

Along the shoe's base, a braided jute-wrapped sole delivers that signature espadrille texture, reinforced with visible stitching for a handcrafted feel. The flat, textured-rubber outsole keeps it practical for all-day wear in all terrains, from grass to gravel and pavement. Sizes run on the half from women's 5.5 through 10, making it easy to find your perfect fit.

For something more polished, try these flats with tailored ankle-length trousers and a fitted knit or a blouse. Skirts work especially well here, too — think, bias-cut midis, tiered prairie styles, or classic A-line minis. Accessory-wise, keep the vintage and textural theme going with woven totes, canvas shoulder bags, delicate jewelry, a hair ribbon, or oversized sunglasses.

Setting money aside for retirement is a huge step towards setting yourself up for success once you leave the workforce. In fact, it's such a big deal that many experts say that it's never too early to start, and every little bit helps.

Now, new research is showing that many Americans are making a major shift when it comes to their retirement savings, and the pros seem to agree that this is a bad sign—not just for retirees, but for the economy as a whole—and they are advising people to stop making this potentially costly mistake. Keep reading to find out if you're guilty of the retirement misstep that 1 in 4 Americans is now said to be making.

There's new research from the payroll firm Dayforce suggesting that Americans are reducing the amount they put into their retirement savings. According to a report published on March 30, 2026, Americans' average retirement savings rate dropped to 8.9 percent in 2025.

The 2025 drop is said to be the first decline the firm has noted in the past three years, and the changes appeared to be most significant in those employees who earn between $50,000 and $150,000 a year.

And it's not just the amount of money people have been having withheld from their paychecks and placed into retirement accounts that has decreased, either. The report also suggests that participation rates are down, with fewer people opting to set up a retirement account in the first place.

There was one place where numbers increased, though. According to Dayforce, the number of people taking loans out of their retirement accounts is on the rise. Dayforce's Jason Rahlan spoke with CBS News about the findings, noting that 20 percent of full-time workers took money out of their 401(k) s on loan.

"This should be a warning sign," Rahlan told the publication. "It may be a sign of financial strain."

If you are one of the many folks who have had to pull back due to increased financial strain, you may be wondering whether you're making the right choice. While retirement is never a one-size-fits-all endeavor, it is important to remember that paying your bills and avoiding new debt are huge parts of planning for your future.

If you need to temporarily reduce your retirement contributions to do that, there is nothing inherently wrong with your decision. That said, short-term financial decisions can have a significant impact on your long-term plans, especially if you are close to retirement age. If you are considering this and have concerns, your best bet is to talk to a financial planner or retirement expert to see if this option is the best fit for your personal situation before you make any decisions.

Annette O'Toole, the iconic 1970s actress, turns 74 years old today.

Born on April 1, 1952, in Houston, Texas, O'Toole began her acting career at an early age. After training in dance, she started appearing in television roles in the 1960s, performing in shows such as The Danny Kaye Show, My Three Sons and Gunsmoke.

She got her big break in 1975 when she was cast as beauty pageant contestant Doria Houston in her first feature film, Smile. She followed this debut with One on One (1977) and King of the Gypsies (1978), further showcasing her versatility before her massive mainstream breakthrough in SupermanIII. Her glowing screen presence and undeniable talent set her up for a lifetime of success in the film industry.

Paul Archuleta/FilmMagic

Throughout her six-decade spanning career, O'Toole has been featured in countless notable projects. Her most recognized works include, Superman III (1983), Stephen King's It (1990), The Kennedys of Massachusetts (1990), Smallville (2001–2010) and Virgin River (2019).

In 2003, she was nominated for an Academy Award for "A Kiss at the End of the Rainbow," a song co-written by her and her husband, Michael McKean, for the film A Mighty Wind.

Amid the Summer House fallout surrounding West Wilson and Amanda Batula’s relationship, Batula’s estranged husband, Kyle Cooke, says he’s increasingly concerned about the backlash she’s facing.

Cooke and Batula, who announced their separation in January, have remained seemingly supportive of one another. News of Batula’s involvement with Wilson didn’t change that — but the public reaction has.

"I appreciate people checking in, I'm actually really worried about Amanda, if I'm being honest," Cooke told journalist Adam Glyn. "I talked to her before they put the statement out. She gave me a heads up. And I talked to her last night. I understand people have all sorts of opinions, and I'm not justifying any behavior, but from what I'm seeing, she's kinda getting cyberbullied."

He continued, "At the end of the day, West seems to be the kind of guy playing multiple women at the same time." Cooke said that, meanwhile, Batula is being scorched, while Wilson doesn’t appear to be receiving the same level of backlash.

"I just feel bad," he said, adding that she’s well aware of what she did wrong and was "trying to come to terms with it." He added, "She is not well."

Cooke said he began to piece together Batula and Wilson’s relationship over the weekend, as the evidence mounted — though "obviously I was trying to give everybody the benefit of the doubt." While he admits he’s still unclear on the timeline, it has him "second-guess a few things last summer."

"It's a mental mind f--- for me because there's still so much we're watching from the summer," he added. Reflecting on the past, he questioned whether something may have started earlier. "Looking back, a lot of us are looking at his body language, how touchy and handsy he was with her, and I just kinda gave him a hall pass last summer. Candidly, his Watch What Happens and his confessionals in last week's episode, I could not believe that he went there."

Ultimately, Cooke says he’s "frustrated," especially with The Cityset to premiere. While he admits he’s disappointed in Batula, he emphasized concern for her well-being: "hearing her and hearing how unwell she is ... dark thoughts, I just ask people to let off the gas a little bit on the cyberbullying."

Survivor winner Richard Hatch is embroiled in a legal battle over his prize money 26 years after his win.

Hatch, who won the first season of the reality show in 2000, is involved in a lawsuit with the federal government over back taxes on his seven-figure prize.

According to court documents obtained by People, a judge ruled on Mar. 17 that Hatch owes $3,293,471.56, plus "statutory additions from and after May 13, 2024, including interest” that will continue to accrue until the full amount is paid.

With penalties, the amount Hatch owes is more than three times the amount of his winnings total of $1,010,000.

The documents state that this comes from federal income tax liabilities from 2000, 2001, and 2012. The judge declared that the verdict be set as final, allowing “the United States to start to use the Federal Debt Collection Procedure.”

Two days after the judgement was made, Hatch filed an official notice of appeal, notifying the court that he will be challenging the decision in the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit. He will be representing himself in the case.

“This appeal will be the first objective review of the facts. I am confident that the appellate court's review of the full record—including evidence that was not adequately addressed below—will result in a just outcome," Hatch said to People.

“I have spent 25 years trying to do the right thing in a complicated situation, and I remain committed to resolving this matter fairly,” he continued. “I have nothing further to say while the appeal is pending.”

This case, which was first filed in 2022, is not the first time Hatch has found himself in legal trouble. In 2006, a jury found him guilty of two counts of tax evasion after failing to report approximately $1.4 million in income—the majority of it connected to Survivor— during the 2000 and 2001 tax years.

He was sentenced to 51 months of incarceration followed by three years of supervised release, and was required to file amended income tax returns for 2000 and 2001 and pay the amounts in full. Hatch did not comply and served an additional nine months in prison in 2011.

The 2022 complaint also alleged that Hatch deeded two properties he owned to his sisterKristin in 2003 and 2005, in an effort to evade federal tax liens he was facing.

"Upon information and belief, following the transfer of the Real Properties from Richard H. Hatch, Jr., to Kristin M. Hatch, Richard H. Hatch, Jr., lived in one or both of the Real Properties for unknown periods of time," the government said in court documents.

"Richard H. Hatch, Jr., transferred record title of the Real Properties to Kristin M. Hatch with the actual intent to hinder, delay, or defraud the creditors of Richard H. Hatch, Jr., including the United States, and thus was fraudulent," the government continued.

The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) later mailed Hatch a Notice of Deficiency for the unassessed tax liabilities in 2010.

“Despite proper notice and demand, Richard H. Hatch, Jr., failed, neglected, or refused to fully pay the liabilities,” the complaint stated.

Hatch contested the proposed deficiencies and penalties, and also “submitted multiple offers in compromise,” which were denied.

In 2012, the complaint stated that Hatch was “barred and estopped from further contesting these liabilities” after a resolution was reached.

When it comes to the perfect book to curl up with on the sand, Reese Witherspoon knows a thing or two.

The Oscar-winning actress, a voracious reader, leads Reese's Book Club, a popular book club with tons of followers who eagerly await Witherspoon's monthly picks of stories centered around women. In a new list published by Penguin Random House, one of Witherspoon's 2025 picks officially tops the list as one of the "Best Beach Reads to Get Lost In." You can catch up on all of Witherspoon's other 2025 picks here, or learn more about the page-turner below.

A 2025 romance and historical fiction novel, Great Big Beautiful Life debuted at number one on the New York Times bestseller list.

"Two writers compete for the chance to tell the larger-than-life story of a woman with more than a couple of plot twists up her sleeve in this dazzling and sweeping novel from Emily Henry," the synopsis reads.

Upon sharing the book with her followers as the May 2025 Reese's Book Club pick, members went absolutely wild for the book.

"Great Big Beautiful Life had me dreaming of island sunsets and salty sea air from page one!" one follower shared.

If you think the name Emily Henry sounds familiar to you, it's because the author has penned a variety of successful novels, including Funny Story, Happy Place, Book Lovers, People We Meet on Vacation, and Beach Read.

People We Meet on Vacation was even turned into a Netflix movie starring Emily Bader and Tom Blyth. If you're more into "Netflix and Chill" than "Turn the Pages and Chill," check out the trailer below:

When it comes to heading out on her own beach vacations, Emily Henry doesn't spend her spare time on flights lurking on Facebook like the rest of us. In a recent interview with the NYT's Wirecutter, the author explained that even if an airline offers free in-flight Wi-Fi, she doesn't use it. Instead, she tries to use that uninterrupted time to brainstorm ideas for future projects or to read a novel that really interests her.

“I find flights to be really creatively inspiring,” Henry shared with the NYT. “My two biggest pieces of entertainment when I’m flying: my own brain, and someone else’s brain.”

The giveaway might be what gets people in the door, but it all comes down to the new menu item you'll actually order.

You can order them on their own, go for a three-piece, or get them as part of the Munchie Meal, which is where the giveaway comes in. There's also a larger Party Pack if you're feeding a group (or just not in the mood to share).

At the end of the day, it feels like one of those late-night orders you'd probably make anyway, just with a chance to win something along the way. And if you happen to walk away with more than just the food, that's not a bad bonus.

Good Friday is a religious holiday that recognizes the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. It always falls on the Friday right before Easter Sunday, and this year, Good Friday falls on April 3, 2026. There are a wide number of denominations in the Christian faith that recognize Good Friday with fasting, deep prayer and other special church services.

Despite many practicing Christians' observation of the holiday, Good Friday doesn't warrant a day off from work or school for most. This may have you asking, "Are banks open on Good Friday?" It can get confusing, and if you're planning a Good Friday bank trip, you don't want to show up only for locked bank doors to greet you. 

Good Friday may be an important holiday of the Christian faith, but it isn't observed as a federal holiday. So, what does that mean for last-minute errands to run before your Easter festivities? Don't worry—we're answering all of your burning questions to better help you prepare during Holy Week!

The Federal Reserve, which regulates the nation's banking system, observes 11 federal holidays each year—and no, Good Friday isn't one of them. Here are the holidays recognized by the Federal Reserve:

• New Year's Day
• Martin Luther King Jr. Day
• Presidents' Day
• Memorial Day
• Juneteenth
• Independence Day
• Labor Day
• Columbus Day
• Veterans Day
• Thanksgiving Day
• Christmas Day

Since Good Friday is not a federal holiday, public school students will have classes to attend and homework assignments to turn in that day if they're not on spring break already. Government employees will go to work. Court will be in session. Mail will run. Banks will largely be open.

Notice, we said that banks will largely be open. There are always exceptions to the rules! Yes, the federal government of the United States recognizes certain holidays. However, each state has the ability to recognize additional holidays. As the Federal Times reported, 12 states currently recognize Good Friday as a state holiday:

• Connecticut 
• Delaware
• Florida
• Hawaii
• Indiana
• Kentucky
• Louisiana
• New Jersey
• North Carolina
• North Dakota
• Tennessee
• Texas

In the above states, where Good Friday is observed as a holiday, state offices and courts are closed, and other businesses may close as well. We encourage anyone who belongs to credit unions or smaller community banks to contact their branches to confirm if they are open.

The stock market will be closed, but for the most part, banks will be open on Good Friday. If you live in a state that recognizes Good Friday as a holiday or belong to a smaller bank, make sure to double-check their business hours or give them a call.

No major banks have been reported as closing on Good Friday this year. Most banks will be open on Good Friday, so if you need to make a last-minute run, you should be in luck.

Actor Constance Zimmer, 55, has played some incredibly strong women in her career—from Dana Gordon on Entourage to Quinn King on UnReal. And despite the fact that she's currently in two high-profile roles, playing Dana Berg in The Lincoln Lawyer and Ann Messina Freeman, mom of Carolyn Bessette, in Ryan Murphy’s Love Story, she's not taking roles like this for granted. What she is doing is speaking out and demanding more—more roles like this for women over 40, 50, and older, more storytelling about their lives—and for reasons that are much bigger that Zimmer herself.

"It feels so great," says Zimmer about her two current roles in a recent interview with New Beauty. "I just feel so grateful, and I'm trying to stay in the moment because it doesn't happen like this all the time."

At the same time, Zimmer uses her voice and her platform, even in an interview with a beauty-focused mag, to cut right to ageism and the ongoing obsession with youth in Hollywood. Even though more and more meaningful roles for women over 40+ are showing up, there's still more room to grow.

"Where are the Devil Wears Prada, Meryl Streep characters that are owning their age, owning their power? They're the most powerful they've ever been in their life because they have less f**ks to give, if you just want to say it that bluntly."

It's clear Zimmer isn't simply concerned about nabbing better roles for herself or other women in Hollywood. Representation matters far beyond a single role in a film. Zimmer explains how these portrayals help validate all women's lives and challenge stereotypes.

She says she wants to "show women of a certain age that you matter, and that your stories matter, and that this is so beyond what your looks are."

For Zimmer, it's also about taking the fear out of aging for everyone. "I want to make sure that I'm leaving a legacy of storytelling and meaning for women that get to this age that aren't afraid of this age," she says. "Nobody should be afraid of aging unless they are not prepared for it."

"I want to help other women get to this age with power—not with feeling afraid of it."

Zimmer promoted this interview via Instagram, writing, "I got to talk about my new role as advocate for the lack of roles for women over 50 when they are in the most empowering time of their lives yet we don’t show that on any screen. I’m so grateful to be portraying 2 fierce females, Dana Berg and Ann Messina Freeman, who are not afraid to speak their mind wisely and firmly because that’s what you do when you don’t have anymore F***s to give or time to waste. There I said it. Thank you for the time and this chat."

Oh, and after all that, if you still care, Zimmer's top beauty tips at age 55 are sleep and hydration, so there you have it.

Luke Combs may be able to hang with the best of them now, but his first introduction to one country music legend didn't go so smoothly.

Over 10 years ago, the "Beautiful Crazy" singer met Blake Shelton for the first time when he was invited to a Mississippi farm owned by music executive Colin Reed—but the weekend didn't turn out quite how Combs had planned.

Not only was Combs the "new guy" at the time, but he also ended up feeling ill, and therefore spent the weekend nursing an upset stomach while Shelton and the rest of the attendees partied on.

"Here I am, chugging the Imodium on the toilet," he recalled during a private event last month, as reported by PEOPLE. "It was less than ideal. I remember thinking, like, 'Well, this is it. My career's over.' I finally got invited to a cool thing, and I'm the weird guy in the room that's sick."

At one point during the three-day trip, Combs was able to pull himself together enough to join the crew for a campfire, where everyone, including Shelton, was playing some of the biggest songs from their careers.

When it was Combs turn to play a song, he told Shelton, "I don't even have a record deal. I've never had a No. 1, but if I get a record deal, this song I'm going to play is a song I've written."

He then began to play "Hurricane," his debut single that would later become his first No. 1 hit.

"Hurricane" was released through Columbia Nashville in 2016, and it hit No. 1 on Billboard's Country Airplay chart in May 2017. It was the first of several No. 1 hits from Combs, including "Beautiful Crazy," "She Got the Best of Me," "Fast Car" and several others.

There's a reason Jif remains one of the most instantly recognizable brands of peanut butter on the market today.

Like many of their mainstream competitors, the peanut butter brand proudly delivers rich, creamy peanut-based spread ideal for sandwiches, fruits and other sweet treats, leaving little reason to wonder why it's so avidly popular today.

As great as Jif's regular peanut butter spread undoubtedly is, Allrecipes has shared the news that iconic brand is set to expand its product lineup with a brand-new, first-of-its-kind flavor.

As the outlet reported, Jif is officially rolling out a new crunchy version of their fan-favorite Peanut Butter & Chocolate Spread.

As fans of the original product might remember, Jif released their Peanut Butter & Chocolate Spread back in 2024. Originally offered via a traditional creamy spread, the mixture combines the tastes of signature peanut butter with flavorful chocolate, ensuring a combination most shoppers instantly fell in love with.

"Jif Peanut Butter & Chocolate Flavored Spread combines the irresistible deliciousness of Jif Peanut Butter that our fans love with the sweet flavor of chocolate, striking the perfect balance of salty and sweet," said Nicole Massey, Vice President of Marketing at the J.M. Smucker Co., at the time of the product's release. "It's lower in sugar, making it a permissible indulgence that can transform a simple snack into a mouthwatering treat in no time at all." 

With their new version of the spread, Jif manages to deliver the same peanut butter and chocolate-infused taste as their initial product, this time with the added benefit of roasted peanut chunks in each and every bite.

If that weren't already exciting enough, the new spread is also made with 50% less sugar than Nutella hazelnut spread, as well as roughly 50% less sugar than Nutella Peanut.

The new spread officially arrives this spring to major retail stores across the nation.
