Pizza Hut is going all in on Valentine’s Day this year, bringing back a fan-favorite pizza with a little help from some iconic pop stars. 

The national pizza chain has teamed up with the Backstreet Boys’ Nick Carter and Howie Dorough to celebrate the return of its heart-shaped pizza, calling it the “shape of my heart pizza” after the boy band’s 2000 hit song. 

The limited-time item starts at $11.99 for a large, one-topping pizza, but if fans want to take advantage of the deal, they’ll have to act fast as it will only be available through February 22.

In a fun promo for the heart-shaped pizza, Carter and Dorough get a heart-shaped pizza for a pre-show snack, but quickly butt heads on the best way to make heart hands. Dorough uses his pointer and middle fingers to make a heart, pointing out that it’s the “new heart hand shape” popular with Gen Z. 

But Carter doesn’t like that, instead making a heart with all of his fingers in the style popularized by millennials, and ultimately walking away from the conversation. 

The promotion ends with both pop stars making their respective heart hand shapes over a pepperoni-covered heart-shaped pizza and digging into the meal, argument seemingly smoothed over.

Pizza Hut is the largest player in the game that has added a heart-shaped pizza to the menu for Valentine’s Day, but it’s not the only one, as other popular pizza chains are promoting similar products. 

Marco’s Pizza has one-topping heart-shaped pies for $7.99, and offers them as part of a $13.99 bundle that also includes brownies, while Mountain Mike’s is offering heart-shaped pizzas, both in the traditional, savory option and as a dessert via a sweetheart cherry pie dessert pizza it is calling “love at first slice.”

John Fogerty is a name that's never been forgotten in the rock genre, who rose to fame as the frontman and creative force behind Creedence Clearwater Revival. The rock icon will be given a new honor at this year's Songwriter Hall of Fame.

According to Billboard, Fogerty will receive the Johnny Mercer Award, which is the Songwriters Hall of Fame's top honor. It's scheduled to take place during the annual SHOF Induction and Awards Gala scheduled for June 11 in New York.

Fans may know that Fogerty is already a member of the SHOF after being inducted in 2005 for his creative role in Creedence Clearwater Revival and his solo career. The Johnny Mercer Award is a special honor given to recipients "whose body of work is of such high quality and impact that it upholds the high standards set by Johnny Mercer."

This award was established in 1980 and modelled after Mercer, inarguably one of the most important American songwriters and lyricists of the 20th century. He wrote lyrics for over 1,500 songs, including "Moon River," "Days of Wine and Roses," "Come Rain or Come Shine," and many more.

Clarence Clearwater Revival became one of the most influential rock bands of the 1960s and early 70s. Fogerty was credited as writing, singing, and producing most of the band's biggest hits, "Fortune Son," "Bad Moon Rising," "Proud Mary," and many more throughout their time together.

The band would later break up in 1972, with Fogerty entering his solo career that led to hits like "The Old Man Down the Road" and "Centerfield." His career led him to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1993 and named by Rolling Stone as one of the 100 Greatest Songwriters and 100 Greatest Singers.

In 1998, he won a Grammy for Best Rock Song with his solo track "Blue Moon Nights." He's also received several Grammy nominations with Clarence Clearwater Revival and his solo career.

Lee Brice is stirring up controversy with the lyrics to his new song, "Country Nowadays."

The country crooner debuted the brand-new track while performing at Turning Point USA's alternative halftime show over the weekend, where he unveiled the song's unmistakable political messaging.

Brice, 46, has sparked a heated debate with the song's pointed lyrics, and though many of his faithful fans have expressed approval of the views expressed in the song, others were left "disappointed" to find out where Brice stands on several hot-button issues.

During the first verse of "Country Nowadays," Brice sings:

"I just want to cut my grass, feed my dogs, wear my boots / Not turn the TV on, sit and watch the evening news / Be told if I tell my own daughter that little boys ain't little girls / I'd be up the creek in hot water in this cancel-your ass-world."

"It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays," he says during the chorus.

In the song's second verse, Brice sings:

"I just wanna cut my grass, watch my game, say my prayers / Not get a picture of a flag up in flames while people cheer / Oh the same one my grandaddy fought for / Stomped on like it’s trash / I’m a down-right hateful monster / If I back the blue and badge."

The country singer shared a video of his performance to Instagram on Monday, Feb. 9, along with the caption, "It ain't easy being country in this country nowadays."

"please, you’re a rich white man how hard could it be," one critic commented under the post, while another said, "This is embarrassing."

"Was a longtime fan but SO disappointed to hear this from you," someone else chimed in, while more disapproving fans left messages like "I'll be removing all his songs from my playlists" and "Sad I was ever a fan " under the post.

Meanwhile, one supportive fan called the song "so relatable" while other users said they "can't wait" for the song to officially be released.

Brice performed the song on Sunday, Feb. 8 during a rival halftime show put on by Turning Point USA, the conservative organization founded by late right-wing activist Charlie Kirk. The alternative Super Bowl halftime entertainment option also featured performances from Brantley Gilbert, Kid Rock and Gabby Barrett, while Bad Bunny delivered the NFL's official halftime show for Super Bowl LX.

Formed in Akron, Ohio, in the early 2000s, the Black Keys—Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach—rose to prominence with their raw, blues-inflected sound before breaking into the mainstream with albums like Brothers and El Camino. Over the years, the duo has earned multiple Grammy Awards and built a reputation as one of the most enduring rock acts of their generation.

The upcoming tour will support Peaches!, the band's latest studio album, which continues their exploration of groove-heavy rock while leaning into the influences that shaped their early work. The album follows 2024’s Ohio Players and represents another chapter in the duo's long-running creative partnership.

"Everything was all cut live in one with no separation, including vocals," said Black Keys co-founder Patrick Carney of the new record. "It was a nightmare to mix but we got it sounding raw and filthy."

Specific dates and which opening acts will appear in each city vary by region. Tickets for the tour are set to go on sale in phases. Citi cardmember presale tickets are available beginning Wednesday, Feb. 11 at 10 a.m. local time, with artist pre-sales starting at 10 a.m. local time on Thursday, Feb. 12. Finally, general ticket sales begin on Friday, Feb. 13 at 10 a.m. local time.

With a new album, an ambitious global itinerary, and a handpicked lineup of special guests, the Black Keys’ 2026 tour is shaping up to be one of the most wide-ranging live efforts of their career.

A centuries-old British dynasty is facing a very modern American showdown. At the center of the drama is Henry Thynn, the 9-year-old son of Ceawlin Thynn, the 8th Marquess of Bath, and his wife, Emma, Marchioness of Bath. While Henry was born into a life of palaces and a sprawling 900-acre estate, a legal loophole involving his birth in California could cost him his share of a £157 million ($200 million) inheritance.

To understand the stakes, it is important to distinguish between the British Royal Family (KingCharles and his immediate relatives like Prince William and Princess Kate) and the Aristocracy (titled noble families like the Thynns). While the Royals represent the state, the Aristocracy is a class of hereditary peers—Dukes, Marquesses, and Earls—who own massive swaths of the UK's land and historical wealth.

The Marquess is now backing this high-stakes legal action in the High Court to ensure his American-born son isn't bypassed by ancient British trust laws and lines of succession that haven't been updated since the 1970s.

The legal battle has the potential to shake the very foundations of the British royal establishment. Legal experts suggest this ruling could send shockwaves through the greater royal family, as a victory for the Thynns could pave the way for surrogate-born children to challenge the Succession to the Crown Act. If successful, it could theoretically allow future royal heirs born via surrogacy to claim a place in the line of succession for the throne itself.

In the rigid world of the British aristocracy, inheritance usually follows a strict path: the eldest "legitimate" son takes the title and the lion's share of the money. However, because Henry was born via a surrogate in West Hollywood, the legal language governing the family's three massive trusts—and the rules of the British Peerage—doesn't know what to do with him.

According to The Daily Mail, at a recent hearing, Mr. Justice Matthews explained the snag: the family’s wealth is tied up in trusts that use "pre-1970, common law meanings" of family relationships. Because Henry was born via surrogacy rather than "of the body" of the Marchioness in the traditional sense, there is "uncertainty as to whether Henry falls at present within the class of beneficiaries."

Essentially, while Henry is biologically a Thynn, the 400-year-old rules of the Longleat estate see him as a legal question mark simply because he was born in a California hospital via modern science rather than a "traditional" birth on British soil.

The decision to use a surrogate wasn't about tradition—it was about survival. During her first pregnancy with her eldest son, John (now 11), the Marchioness suffered from hypophysitis, a rare brain condition that caused "searing pain like a knife stabbing at my brain." Doctors delivered a chilling verdict: a second pregnancy would likely be fatal.

The couple turned to a surrogate in California to complete their family in 2016. At the time, the Marquess hailed the birth as a "miracle of modern science." But that miracle has triggered a legal headache. The Marchioness, formerly Emma Weymouth, is no stranger to breaking the mold. A fashion model and former Strictly Come Dancing contestant, she became the first Black Marchioness in British history upon her marriage in 2013.

Her journey into the heart of the British elite hasn't been easy, often marked by public rifts with her in-laws. Now, she is fighting to ensure her son isn't penalized for the medical crisis that forced them to look toward America for help.

“I just want to live to see my children grow up,” Emma shared, defending the surrogacy. “I did not want to take the risk of something tragic happening. I’m not the kind of person who would have done this for anything less than a very important reason.”

The Marquess is seeking court approval to grant himself the power to officially add Henry and any of Henry's future children to the list of beneficiaries. If the court denies this, Henry could be legally sidelined, even as his older brother, John, remains the clear heir to the Marquess title.

The judge has appointed a solicitor to represent "other beneficiaries" to ensure Henry’s inclusion doesn't unfairly shrink the portions of the estate intended for his brother or other relatives.

As news of the lawsuit broke, social media users were quick to side with the family, slamming the "sexist" and "outdated" nature of British peerage. "Definitely ridiculous that their son by surrogacy can’t inherit, so I’m glad they are legally challenging it," one Reddit user wrote. Others noted the unfairness of the title system itself: "They have an older son who will get the title no matter what, but the younger one should also be eligible for titles. Also, I never understood why women can’t inherit titles or even money in some cases. They can in Spain. Seems terribly sexist."

Currently, Spain allows for absolute primogeniture, meaning the eldest child inherits regardless of gender. In the UK, however, most hereditary titles still bypass daughters in favor of younger sons, a rule many fans hope this case might finally start to dismantle.
As the case progresses, it serves as a massive test case for how Britain's oldest families must adapt to the 21st century—or risk leaving their "miracle" heirs behind.

Among all the scene-stealers from That '70s Show, "Fez" may be the all-time favorite for most fans.

And now, the longtime actor behind the role is celebrating a new business venture in the U.S. capital.

Wilmer Valderrama and hospitality entrepreneur Daniella Senior just opened Elegancia, a cocktail bar rooted in culture, ritual and intention at La Cosecha, the vibrant Latin American marketplace and cultural hub in Washington, D.C.'s Union Market District.

“To me, Elegancia is everything I love about our culture,” said Valderrama, 46, in a statement. “It's in every bite, every sip, the rhythm of the room, and the small details that give the space its heartbeat. I’ve had a beautiful experience in the hospitality industry and am excited to return to another one of my passions: hosting a unique experience. I am thrilled to bring culinary traditions in Elegancia to life in D.C.”

Valderrama added, "Food is where memory lives. These dishes reflect the flavors many of us grew up with. The meals that brought people together at the end of the day. Elegancia is about honoring that feeling and sharing it."

“This project is deeply personal to me: it reflects my vision of hospitality, from the atmosphere and service to the way people are genuinely cared for,” said Senior in a statement. “Washington, D.C. felt like the natural home for Elegancia. It’s a city defined by diversity and dialogue, where different worlds intersect, and that spirit mirrors exactly what we’re creating.”

Last month, Parade reported on Valderrama's 2026 net worth, which is completely self-made and may come as somewhat of a surprise to some — estimated at about $20 million.

With a career that runs the gamut from playing Fez to starring in NCIS to hosting Yo Momma and voicing a role in 2025’s Zootopia 2, Valderrama has made a mint off of his eclecticism. Dipping his hands in podcasting, producing and branding has also paid off for the star.

Noah Kahan is bridging the great divide. 

Today, the rock and alternative artist is offering fans a chance to get up close and personal for next to nuthin’. Offering what he’s dubbing “front porch” tickets, Kahan said he wanted fans to be able to experience the best seats in the house for just $100.

The tickets are for the general admission pit right in front of the stage -- where you can smell the sweat. 

Kahan announced The Great Divide Tour on Feb. 2, with the general sale beginning Thursday, Feb. 12, 2026. The presale kicks off today at noon local time.

View this post on Instagram

Now, you did have to register for the presale, in order to get the unique code with which to purchase the front porch tickets, so if you missed out on the registration, you can still find discounts and sales online (like MassLive’s $20 off $200 with code MassLive20). 

The Great DivideTour will make 23 stops in North America, from Orlando to Seattle. The tour kicks off June 11 and hits up iconic sports venues such as Fenway Park, Wrigley Field, and the Rose Bowl Stadium along the way. 

For those buying tickets, rest assured the musician is taking every precaution to ensure a seamless buying experience. 

“To make sure fans have the best opportunity at original ticket prices, the tour will be using Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange,” Kahan's official website states. “Tickets will be non-transferable and can only be resold at face value on Ticketmaster. In New York, Colorado, Illinois, and Utah, state laws don’t let artists fully control resale so tickets can be transferred. But even there, prices will remain at face value. Nothing is perfect, but we’re doing what we can to help protect against scalpers, and keep tickets in fans’ hands.”

Kahan recently scored his first No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs Chart with “The Great Divide,” his latest single. “The song starts with 19.3 million official U.S. streams, 3.3 million radio audience impressions, and 5,000 sold in the week ending Feb. 5, according to Luminate, following its Jan. 30 release,” Billboard reported.

The same-name album, Kahan's fourth studio project, will be available April 24. For a look at the tour schedule, go to noahkahan.com.

The La Jolla, California, estate that Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel previously called home can be yours!

Sitting on top of a hill in the beautiful San Diego neighborhood, the nearly 5,000-square-foot mansion offers sweeping ocean views.

The home—which is currently owned by UC San Diego—was built in 1950 by famed architect Thomas Shepherd, "this extraordinary La Jolla estate is known to be one of the best view properties in all of Southern California."

"More than a home, it is a landmark," the team behind the sale explained. "From this singular vantage point—soaring above the surrounding landscape—you experience what few properties can offer: the sensation of living above the clouds, with panoramic ocean, coastline, and sunset views unfolding from nearly every room, including the residence and pool house alike. The elevation is no accident. It is, in fact, the very reason this site was chosen."

The four-bedroom home, which offers whimsical homages to Dr. Seuss' beloved characters, is expected to "go for at least full price," according to Realtor.com.

The future owners will own a piece of literary history for $10,000,000.

The band is also using their tour to give back. For every ticket sold, $1 will be donated to the Simple Plan Foundation, which they started in 2005. 

The foundation focuses on supporting young people in need and using music as a tool to inspire purpose and hope.

“Last summer, our ‘Bigger Than You Think!’ U.S. headline tour was one of the best times we’ve ever had on the road.

“As soon as the last show wrapped, we knew we had to find a way to keep it going and visit all the awesome cities we missed on the first run.”

The multi-platinum rock band added, “The setlist will celebrate our 25 years as a band, packed with our biggest hits, fan favorites, and songs we haven’t played in years.”

Spiritual experts and numerologists note that first names that start with these three letters are destined for success.

Which First-Name Letters Are Destined for Success?

Numerology says that the letters H, Q, and Z align with the number eight. Eight is considered to be the most successful number because of its remarkable traits and astrological planetary association. Eight is associated with Saturn, the taskmaster planet of karmic lessons. Although heavy, Saturn helps one become a mature leader who can shoulder responsibilities. As a result, those with the number eight in numerology are often highly ambitious and driven individuals who stop at nothing to be highly accomplished, especially when it comes to business and finances. If your first name begins with H, Q, or Z, you exude the power and success of eight.  

According to numerology, the number eight represents the following:

• Drive and ambition
• Mature and accountable 
• Strong leadership skills
• Abundance and wealth

You’re often considered to be a reliable, serious individual who manages an impressive workload. Anyone else would freak out, but not you. You have the tenacity and strength to handle whatever life throws your way—a talent that plays a key role in your personal and professional successes.

Sam's Club is stocking up on a new item that will make weeknight dinners a breeze.

Busy evenings just got a little easier thanks to a new ready-to-heat meal at the warehouse giant that’s priced so well, shoppers are calling it a dinner steal. Designed to feed multiple people with minimal prep, the offering takes the dreaded guesswork out of the nightly question: What’s for dinner?

The Instagram account Sam's Club Members shared the new kit, quickly stirring up plenty of excitement amongst shoppers.

The freshly-made Member's Mark Calzones come four to a pack and include marinara sauce, along with savory pepperoni, rich Italian sausage and melt-in-your-mouth mozzarella cheese. And the warehouse giant doesn't seem to skimp either, as the account notes that the calzones are big and "generously filled," with enough to feed a family or provide leftovers for multiple meals across a few nights.

@samsclublovers

🍕 OMG...LOOK! These NEW calzones are made fresh in-club daily and look incredible! Each one has a golden crust filled with mozzarella, pepperoni, and Italian sausage - plus it comes with marinara sauce for dipping. Perfect for easy lunches or dinners! #samsclub #samsclubfinds #calzone

♬ original sound - Sam’s Club Lovers

According to the Sam's Club website, they are prepared in-club daily, and boast a golden and crisp crust, with the Sam's Club Members social media account vouching that "they are so good."

'Big flavor, easy meal,' the Sam's Facebook post furtherer teased.

With grocery prices continuing to fluctuate in this economy, it's no surprise that Sam's Club members are turning to ready-made options that save both time and money.

The calzones are priced at $6.54 per pound, with most packages coming in a little over $14, a price point that undercuts many takeout options and is considered a dinner steal.

And the best part is that they are ready in 12-20 minutes, no preparation necessary, making them incredibly "convenient" and an "ideal choice for easy lunches or quick dinners."

These Calzones Are a Taste of Italy

Calzones come from Italy, specifically Naples, originally created as a portable street food to be enjoyed on-the-go without any hassle.

While the Sam's calzones are satisfying all on their own, shoppers can easily turn them into a sit-down meal by adding simple sides that can be picked up right at Sam’s Club.

A ready-to-go bag of salad, like Caesar or Italian, pairs well with the cozy, cheesy, and hearty calzones. Another option is to toss some meatballs into the oven alongside the calzones to create a heart meal that rivals anything you'd pick up at a restaurant.

What Sam's Club Shoppers Are Saying About the New Member's Mark Calzones

Fans were thrilled to see something new in the prepared section at Sam's Club, with one stating, "Yay finally something new in prepared meal."

Another noted that they tried them recently and agree with Sam's Club Member that they are "so good."

Many others were putting them on their shopping list as we speak, adding that they are a "must try" and "I just added to my pick-up for tomorrow."

It's clear Sams' new ready-to-heat meal is quickly earning a reputation as a go-to dinner shortcut, and one that doesn't feel like a compromise on taste or quality.

Any good relationship is fundamentally built on trust. It's what gives us the security to open up and be honest with our friends, significant other or spouse. When that trust is broken, it can be very difficult to trust again. It takes more than an apology or promise to change. Words are basically useless at this point. Instead, there will need to be action taken to repair a broken relationship. This means putting in work and opening yourself up to vulnerability. If both of you are willing to work on repairing the damage, here's how to rebuild trust in a relationship.

An obvious lack of trust would come after something like an affair. However, there are other ways trust is broken as well. Communication issues like lying, withholding information, breaking a promise or not sharing one's feelings all lead to distrust more gradually. Once the foundation of trust is broken, everything else begins to crumble as well. 

Even when trust is broken in a marriage, friendship or close bond, it is possible to regain trust. It won't be easy, and it will take real effort. However, it can be done. Chances are, one of you might not feel like working on the relationship right away. And someone else might be impatient to regain the trust quickly. However, the more patient, empathetic, understanding and intentional you are, the better chance you have of restoring love and trust with each other.

We'll go over the eight steps for rebuilding trust to get you back on track and leave the past behind.

What Does It Mean to Trust Someone?

In a serious relationship, trust means that you feel safe and secure and will be respected both physically and emotionally. There is never any doubt that your spouse will have your back. Communication is strong, with each person listening to the other and understanding the real feelings and needs that are shared. You can be vulnerable together and not feel the need to hide anything. 

This also means that you won't feel the need to check up or spy on the other person. It won't be necessary when you trust the other person to have integrity and be honest. There will be no reason to keep secrets, and no need to assume the worst of the other person. When there is full trust, a relationship is at its healthiest.

8 Steps to Rebuild Trust in a Relationship1. Get to the Cause of the Betrayal

The first step is to find out why you were betrayed or lied to. Understanding the root or motive is important to begin fixing the problem. This is where honesty is key. Really listen to each other's feelings and needs.

This doesn't mean that what your partner did is okay, but it could at least provide a little understanding. It could also clear up any miscommunications or misunderstandings that may have occurred.

It will be important to address the questions between the two of you without becoming defensive. Being defensive looks a lot like lying. So, get rid of the pride and take a good, honest look at yourself before answering. 

Once you know the reason that you were lied to, you can determine whether or not you want to stay in the relationship and commit to working on it (even if it will be a slow process).

2. Offer Genuine Apologies

After a betrayal (or causing any kind of hurt), quickly forgiving and forgetting should not be the expectation for either party. Deciding to commit to the work of rebuilding trust is a big step, but the pain will linger. 

After simply discussing what happened, offering genuine apologies and taking accountability is necessary. After all, it's not just up to the person who was hurt to forgive and "move on," it's up to the person who did the hurting to be heartfelt in their actions going forward—knowing that it will take time to prove themselves worthy to trust again.

A big step would be to articulate the knowledge of the hurt that has been caused, the remorse felt and the determination felt to make things right—no matter how long of a process it becomes—and vocalize that you know it will take time to earn their trust back.

3. Reflect

As you work through the act of forgiveness (if only it was as simple as pressing a button!), spend time reflecting not only on what happened but on how you are processing everything at the time. Prioritize journaling or meditating to become more in tune with your emotions, responses and needs.

4. Practice Vulnerability

This means being honest about your feelings and needs. You have to open up about what is going on inside your head without fear of rejection. Don't say something just to please the other person; instead, learn to vocalize your true feelings. 

This may also mean humbling yourself and admitting and apologizing for mistakes. Being vulnerable will only bring the two of you closer. You may not always see eye to eye, but being respectful of each other will go a long way in rebuilding trust.

5. Work on Deeper Issues

This gets back to the reason(s) for the betrayal. To keep the same thing from happening later on down the road, it is important for each person to work on whatever drives their behavior. If it can't be fixed on your own, this may be the time to bring in a counselor.

Rebuilding trust IS possible in a relationship. But it won’t happen overnight. Take these two tips to heart 👊🏼 #menswork #evolvedman #nickmatiash #eq #relationshipadviceformen #relationshiptiktok #marriageadviceformen love and marriage

♬ original sound - Nick Matiash | The Evolved Man 6. Gain Trust in "Small Things"

Begin rebuilding trust by keeping promises or even making a point to confess small mess-ups either before they are found out or in lieu of pretending like they never happened. If you say you are going to do something, make sure to follow through with it. Stay honest and be supportive of your partner, and, again, keep the communication flowing. As Nick Matiash, a men's life and relationship coach, says, "Consistency is your best friend when trying to rebuild trust. Trust is built off consistent actions, words and behaviors."

7. Allow Time to Heal

Allow whatever amount of time each person needs to sort through their feelings and emotions. Be patient with each other and keep communication open. Healing happens at a different pace for each person—that's normal and okay.

8. Reignite the Relationship

Start fresh and get back to the dating phase of a relationship. Learn to enjoy each other's company again and do things that interest you both. Make sure to spend quiet time talking and listening to each other, and work on creating future plans together as you align your goals as individuals and as a team.

Steve Martin has an impressive list of comedy roles throughout his career, but The Pink Panther holds a special place in his heart. The 2006 movie celebrates two decades since its release, with Martin revealing it's home to his favorite comedic scene he's ever done.

From Cheaper by the Dozen, Father of the Bride, to Three Amigos, none have left quite a mark like the 2006 movie based on the original 60's franchise. Martin told People he loved making the film, with the famed hamburger scene being a career highlight.

"We aimed our movie at a younger audience than the originals, and I'm proud that the movie has the favorite comic scene I've ever done: 'I would like to buy a HAMMBERRRRGAU,'" said the actor.

In The Pink Panther, Martin plays the role of Inspector Jacques Clouseau, a bumbling police officer from a small French village. When given the chance to solve a murder and the theft of the Pink Panther diamond, he vows to prove himself.

The movie has a comedic scene that has since become a running meme among fans and has been mimicked by many. When needing to travel to the United States to follow a lead, it's suggested that Clouseau meet with a dialect coach due to his heavy French accent. He tries to master the American accent by saying, "I would like to buy a hamburger."

The Pink Panther director Shawn Levy revealed that the scene was actually Martin's idea that the actor pitched over lunch. Levy admitted that once hearing the idea, he was immediately convinced and thought it was " ripe for hilarity." He also knew Martin was the perfect comedic performer for it to come to life.

"It was, what if Clouseau had to go to a dialect coach? And the whole scene is maybe one single sentence repeated 50 times. In the most absurd and increasingly ridiculous ways. I knew as soon as he pitched me that premise that that was a juicy idea, particularly with a performer like Steve," said Levy.

The director added that the 30-second-long scene took longer to film than anyone expected because of everyone's continuous laughter. Clouseau's hamburher scene was "such a simple idea, but brilliantly performed by Steve and our actor playing the dialect coach."

Standing 29.5 inches long by 29.5 inches wide by 30 inches tall, the table is a good fit for even more compact spaces.

It can serve as a solid play table for little ones, too!

Tools aren't required to assemble this set, and several reviewers said it was both easy and quick to put together. That's a major perk for something that appears as refined as this.

Another customer added that it's "very sturdy and solid."

You didn’t have to understand every lyric to get the message — at least according to Jimmy Kimmel. The late-night host jumped to Bad Bunny’s defense following the rapper’s record-breaking Super Bowlhalftime show, calling out critics who were more focused on the language than the music.

President Donald Trump was among those unhappy with the performance, writing on Truth Social that it was “absolutely terrible” and that “nobody understands a word this guy is saying.”

"Did I know any of the songs Bad Bunny was singing? Absolutely not," Kimmel said. 

"Never heard even one second of one of them. Did I understand any of what he was singing? Yes, the word nunca. That was it. But since when do we need to know what the singers are saying? … It's the halftime show at a football game. I don't know all the words to any song."

He added, "This is not about excluding people. It's the opposite of that. English has had a lot of at-bats over the last 60 years of Super Bowls. … The biggest artist in the world is Bad Bunny, so maybe let Spanish have a turn for once."

The comedian also highlighted how divided the reactions to Bad Bunny’s performance were.

"The MAGA-verse was so hopping mad about Bad Bunny," he said. "It really is amazing how differently people can see the same thing. Half of us saw a heartwarming story of immigrants who had dreams to come to America, work hard, get married, grow up, raise families, sing, dance, play backgammon. The other half, it was like the movie '28 Days Later': It was a terrifying attack on humanity, led by Jessica Alba."

The Puerto Rican superstar packed a 13-minute Super Bowl halftime show with a medley of his hits, performed largely in Spanish. Lady Gaga made a surprise appearance to sing “Die with a Smile” in English, while Pedro Pascal, Ricky Martin and others made cameos in a performance celebrating his Latino heritage. 

Before the performance even took place, President Trump had questioned Bad Bunny’s halftime show pick, telling Newsmax he had “never heard of” the artist — despite the rapper topping Spotify’s global charts in 2025. 

Some conservatives pushed back against the six‑time Grammy winner, branding him a “Trump hater” and “un‑American” because of his past comments on immigration enforcement. 

In response, Turning Point USA, cofounded by the late activist Charlie Kirk, hosted its own “All‑American Halftime Show,” starring Kid Rock. 

The Athletic reported that Turning Point USA’s alternative halftime show attracted roughly 6.1 million concurrent viewers on YouTube. 

While official ratings for Bad Bunny’s halftime show haven’t been released, Apple Music called it the most-watched Super Bowl halftime performance ever, topping Kendrick Lamar’s previous record of 133.5 million viewers. 

Country music fans will soon have a rare chance to see Randy Travis in a uniquely intimate setting. The legendary singer has been announced as a special guest on the Country Cruising 7th Anniversary Tour, set to sail in April 2027.

Travis, 66, joins a lineup that includes James Dupré, Craig Morgan, and Paul Overstreet, offering fans a blend of classic hits and celebrated songwriting across multiple generations of country music.

Travis is expected to make special appearances throughout the voyage, engaging with audiences and taking part in the onboard programming. While he will not be singing, organizers note that his presence alone is intended to make the experience memorable for longtime fans.

One of the most successful artists of the genre’s modern era, Travis has sold more than 23 million records and earned 23 No. 1 singles over the course of his career. A member of the Grand Ole Opry since 1986, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2016 and has collected seven Grammy Awards, five CMA Awards, and numerous other industry honors. His signature songs include "On the Other Hand," "Forever and Ever, Amen," and "Three Wooden Crosses," each of which earned CMA Song of the Year recognition.

Following a near-fatal stroke in 2013, Travis has made remarkable strides in recovery with the support of his wife, Mary Travis, and years of physical therapy. While he no longer performs full vocal sets, he has continued to make special appearances and remains an influential presence in country music. In recent years, he released his memoir Forever and Ever, Amen, the documentary More Life, and the 2024 single "Where That Came From," created with the assistance of modern recording technology.

The seven-night cruise departs April 11, 2027, aboard the Celebrity Summit, leaving from Tampa, Florida.
