This season, MasterChef has taken on the theme of Global Gauntlet, and it has divided the world into four areas: Europe, Asia-Pacific, Africa and the Americas. After four weeks of auditions, white aprons have been awarded to five of the best home cooks in each of the regions, who are based in the United States but cooking to reflect their heritage.

So, the season is focusing on the contributions that immigrants have made to the food culture in the United States.

“What makes the food and the culinary scene that we have in the US amazing is that it truly is a melting pot of cultures from all over the world,” judge Tiffany Derry tells Parade in this exclusive interview. “One of the things that we’re doing is highlighting and celebrating the four regions, but even within every region, there’s so much, right? When you think of Africa, the continent of Africa is incredible with cuisine and so different – the spices, the flavors. You’re dealing with Egyptians, Moroccans, South Africans, all of that is just completely different.”

As the show highlights the breadth and width of the food scene and the diversity of the people who create the food, it does somewhat change up the challenges from previous seasons, but not completely.

“It changes it a little bit because you’re a team, but you’re not really. In the beginning, you’re cheering for the group. You want Team Asia Pacific, or you want Team Europe to win because when a team wins, you feel safe as well. If you didn’t have maybe the best dish, then perhaps if your team can win, then all of a sudden you’re safe. So, you’re going for your team, [as] you do in any team sport. But at the end of the day, it’s only one person that’s winning. So, you’re also calculating and figuring out, ‘Okay, I got to watch such and such over there, and I got to be careful with this person,’ right?"

Every season the judges say that the home cooks get better, which is hard to imagine after 16 seasons. But this season, what makes it different is that in celebrating food from all over the world, dishes that may be familiar are done a different way.

“You have people cooking foods from where they’re from, where their family heritage is from, which is very different sometimes than how you would cook if you’re just cooking your everyday. You might want to experiment with cuisines and different flavors. But here they’re highlighting their family heritage,” Derry says. “And so yes, they’ll change it up to whatever that challenge is, but there’s always still that North star of what exactly makes this dish fit within, whether it’s Africa, whether it’s Asia-Pacific, wherever you are, there’s still that thread that is still consistent.”

Parade also spoke to Derry about her days as a contestant in cooking competitions, what we might not know about Gordon Ramsay or Joe Bastianich, and her surprising favorite food.

One thing that you bring to this that, that Gordon and Joe don’t have is you actually competed in a competition on Top Chef.
Many actually! Many competitions.

Does that make you different somehow as a judge? Do you look for different things? Are you more empathetic?
I think it does make it a little different. Both Joe and Gordon have done this for so long [that] there’s just not much that can ever pass them. And I mean, I’ve competed for a really long time; I think I’ve heard it all. I have been happy, been sad, cried, overjoyed, like every emotion that you can get from competition. And I remember thinking that the day that I am on the other side of this, I am going to always tell them something that makes them better. I am going to be honest with them in hopes that they’ll make it to the next round and be able to use what we’re talking about.

And so, whether I seem like I am being straightforward – I prefer the word straightforward – if I’m being straightforward or not, it’s all with the idea of, I hope that they learn from this and grow. So yes, sometimes I feel like I am in a really good position, considering that I’ve been on both sides for a long time now.

What’s it like during the actual competition when the three of you are in the back room, and you have to pick the best dish and the worst dish because somebody wins and somebody goes home? Is there consensus on that? Do you disagree a lot? What happens when you disagree?
I don’t really hide much. I don’t really care to. I just feel like I’m at a point where if I disagree, I just say I disagree. My mom used to say, “Fix your face.” And so, my face is exactly how I feel usually. You’ll see that.

But what we do well is, at the end of the day, each of us, whoever we’re fighting for, I’ll say, we have a good case that we’re making. We all don’t always agree, but there are always points that we do agree on. When we start really getting into the season, it can get tense. And it’s gotten to a point where it’s tense, even after we finish. And I’m like, “I don’t agree, but okay.” Or they get that way as well. And then sometimes we’re like, “Yeah, I agree.”

But most of the time, we’ve made the right decision, and you’ll see a few episodes later, you’re like, “Okay, this person was perfectly right for this one”. So, there’s just different ways to go about it. There are always feelings involved in it as well.

You’ve completed two seasons now, even though we are just starting to see the second one. Talk about what surprised you about working with Gordon or Joe, or something that we as fans would love to know about them.
I don’t think people see the side of Joe that I see every day. Gordon, you see who he is. He’s exactly who you think he is. Whether he is critiquing a dish and trying to make you better, or whether he’s joking and laughing and having a conversation with you.

I feel like most people don’t see the side of Joe that is funny and a little silly. There are moments where he cooks and does things and he sings. I just feel like there’s layers to it that. I feel like I get a little chance, little glimpse to see. So, the rapport between us three, I feel like being together that long and doing those two seasons… it definitely was different than even last year, which was fabulous.

What do you think is the thing that contestants mostly do wrong? What do you think is the biggest mistake that we’re going to see this season?
There’s always technical difficulties. But sometimes you can get over a technical difficulty of whether it means that they didn’t sauté something perfectly. They didn’t braise something long enough. They didn’t season something with enough salt or acid or spice. For me, it’s always, what was the challenge? This was a challenge we gave you, and you disregarded the challenge and decided to just do whatever you wanted to do. And that is something that I see where it’s like, “I’m maybe not comfortable cooking or doing something, and I don’t want to take that gamble, so I play it a little safe.” And it’s not what you want to do on MasterChef. You do not want to play it safe. You want to make sure that every dish you put out is a representation of you, and you have truly gone for it.

Do you have a favorite region of the world where you love the cuisine?
It’s such a hard question. It’s like picking your favorite child. I am often prone to go into Asia, like more Southeast Asian food. I cook a lot of it. I eat a lot of it, more than most people realize. And it’s even funny because during the show, both Gordon and Joe are now realizing how much of that I eat and what I know about it.

They’re like, ‘wait a minute,’ and so they’ll look at me and go, “What do you think?” And I’m like, “Well, you know, this and that.” So, it’s really nice to see. It’s cool.

Is there a food that you won’t eat?
I haven’t found it yet. I’ve eaten some crazy stuff. And because I do travel a heck of a lot, I’m always looking for something. I don’t know anything that I wouldn’t eat right now. I mean, I’ve had some crazy stuff.

Like bugs and stuff like that?
Oh yeah. Those little crunchies, you know?

And what about a guilty pleasure? What would you consider your guilty pleasure? I talked to Gordon years ago and he said he liked In-N-Out burgers.
Actually, I like them, too, but you know what? I am a shaved ice fanatic. I would have it over any dessert. I will have it over any chocolate in the world. I love the texture of perfectly shaved, fluffy ice. I love a sweet and sour syrup. So, any kind of citrusy fruit with a bit of acid, too. Ooohhh and then top it off with the cream. That is my jam. In fact, I wish I had one right now.

I actually have a machine that does shave ice. But because I grew up in East LA, I grew up knowing raspados, which are snow cones.
Yes, absolutely. In Mexico, yeah.

But then lately we have Hawaiian shaved ice trucks. So, it’s more universal than you would think.
Oh, it’s very universal. In fact, I’m actually getting ready to open a shaved ice shop next month. It’s really such a global thing like in Korea, they do one called Bingsu, to obviously the shaved ice, Kakigori, from the Japanese  and to Louisiana as well. It’s sooooooo much that people are like, it’s a universal love. Honestly, it is.

Where’s your store going to be?
It’s going to be in Grand Prairie, which is like the suburbs of DFW. It’s called Surf and Snow.

Sydney Sweeney may be in Australia to work, but the Euphoria star is making sure there's time in her schedule to play, as well. On May 13, she posted a heartwarming, romantic montage of her side excursions with her new love, Scooter Braun, to her Instagram stories.

The video begins with Sweeney and her beau standing on a beach as Layup and Katelyn Tarver's song "Who You Share It With" plays. As she attempts to take a video selfie, Braun kisses her all over her face. In the next scene, the two are dancing playfully before it cuts to them holding hands on a helicopter, flying over the Great Barrier Reef.

After landing on a reef pontoon, they take more sweet and goofy video selfies before changing into dive skins and plunging into the water. After swimming and snorkeling, they're at a wildlife park, petting a koala and snuggling with a dingo. The medley ends with the loved-up couple in a house, dancing together. Braun also shared the Instagram story, which marks a turning point for the couple.

While rumors swirled that the couple began dating after meeting in Sept. 2025 at Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's wedding in Venice, they both stayed mum. Then, on April 15, he shared a photo of himself and Sweeney on his Instagram stories. Two weeks later, Sweeney and Braun hard-launched their relationship, posting very coupley photos of their time at the Stagecoach Music Festival.

View this post on Instagram

Sweeney was previously linked to businessman Jonathan Davino. The former couple began dating in 2018 and got engaged in 2022. In March, she confirmed that they had split up, and she was single.

"I’m learning a lot about myself, spending more time with my friends," she told The Times. "And I’m loving it."

Netflixconfirmed in April that filming for the live-action Gundam had begun in Queensland, Australia. Based on the Japanese anime franchise, Gundam is a sci-fi adventure film centered around giant robots (mechs). "With awe-inspiring battles, intimate human emotion, and an epic cinematic scale, this is Gundam like it’s been seen before," the synopsis reads.

Sweeney is starring in the film alongside Noah Centineo (Street Fighter), Jackson White (Tell Me Lies), and Jason Isaacs (The White Lotus).

Three years after its official release on Disney+, Disney's Ahsoka TV series is officially making its long-awaited return.

According to Deadline, the long-awaited space opera show is currently set to return to the streamer sometime in early 2027, as confirmed by star Rosario Dawson during a Disney upfront presentation this past Tuesday.

While specific details about the new season remain shrouded in mystery, Dawson did share some early hints at what viewers could expect of Ahsoka's second season, with the 47-year-old teasing, “This season, the battles are bigger and the stakes are higher."

A longtime passion project of influential Star Wars creator and current Lucasfilm president Dave Filoni, Ahsoka initially premiered on Disney+ back in 2023.

A creative continuation of Filoni's earlier work on both Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars: Rebels, the series follows the former apprentice of Anakin Skywalker as she attempts to hunt down an exiled Imperial admiral from returning to conqueror the galaxy.

Cobbling together references to everything from The Clone Wars to the best-selling Star Wars novel series Thrawn, Ahsoka earned mostly positive reviews from critics, with many complimenting the series for Dawson's performance, fast pace and altogether enticing story.

In addition to some enigmatic notes about the show's storyline for the second season, Disney also confirmed the involvement of certain stars who will appear in Ahsoka. This include original Prequel Trilogy actor Hayden Christiansen, who will reprise his role as Anakin Skywalker, along with the debut of Game of Thrones' Rory McCann, who will be taking over the role of fallen Jedi Baylan Skol following the death of Ray Stevenson.

Along with these new and returning actors, series creator Filoni also shared the news that the fan-favorite Rebel Alliance hero Admiral Ackbar ("It's a trap!") will return to battle his most dangerous enemy yet: Lars Mikkelsen's methodical Imperial commander, Thrawn.

As Filoni put it, "[Ackbar is] going head-to-head with Thrawn."

The musical movie genre isn't shy about letting its leading stars belt out a few tunes for its tracklist. Actor Keith Carradine was one of the cast members in Nashville who wrote and sang his own songs for his character, which earned him an Oscar win.

Carradine, alongside David Arkin, Barbara Baxley, Ned Beatty, Karen Black, Ronee Blakley, Timothy Brown, Jeff Goldblum, and a bigger cast, all starred in the satirical musical film. It was directed and produced by Robert Altman and focused on various characters in the country and gospel music scene. Over five days its catalogs their lives leading up to a gala concert in support of a political candidate.

Nashville was a moderate success with its $10 million at the box office, but it would be recognized by the Academy for a Best Picture nomination. It was also nominated for Best Director and Best Supporting Actress, with Carradine taking home the win for Best Original Song for "I'm Easy."

According to reports about the film's production, all the actors in Nashville were told to write and sing their own tracks for their characters. "I'm Easy" is often considered a love ballad and was originally an acoustic guitar track played by Ben Benay. The track wasn't a chart-topper and only landed at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the Easy Listening charts.

Keith Carradine's love ballad was to woo his Broadway castmate

Fans can say that Carradine's "I'm Easy" was perfectly suited to his on-screen character and to the actor's true intentions for the track. In Nashville, Carradine plays Tom Frank, a guitarist in a folk-rock trio hoping to go solo. He sings the track during an open mic, with the tender ballad being dedicated to someone in the audience, with all the women in attendance thinking it's them. In reality, Tom is a womanizer and abuser who was dedicating the song to his next conquest.

According to Song Facts, Carradine's true intentions for writing the track weren't too far off from the film. The actor was excited to dust off the love ballad and wrote the lyrics to impress and woo actor Shelley Plimpton. Both Carradine and Plimpton worked together as castmates in the original Broadway production of Hair in 1968.

Reports claim that Plimpton was at the time married to Steve Curry, but was separated when she and Carradine became romantically involved. While the relationship was short-lived, it did result in their daughter, Martha Plimpton. Carradine later admitted in a documentary about Nashville that the love ballad was about giving his heart to someone he loved, with Altman having changed its outlook in the film.

"It wasn't the simple love song that I had written - it became something else. It became an incredible manipulation," Carradine explained. "There was something kind of beautifully cynical about it, but that was Bob."

This returning dessert has only been back for a few days, but it’s already getting plenty of attention online. Between the mix of berries and the buttery crumble topping, it’s a find that instantly stands out.

♬ original sound - Sam’s Club Lovers Sam’s Club’s Mixed Berry Crumble Pie Is Back, and It’s Already a Summer Hit

The Member’s Mark 10-inch Mixed Berry Crumble Pie combines blackberries, strawberries, and raspberries in a golden-brown crust topped with brown-sugar cinnamon oat crumble. The sweet berry filling paired with the crisp topping gives it a balance that works equally well for cookouts, brunches, or simple summer desserts in the backyard.

At 44 ounces, the pie is large enough for sharing and is currently priced at just $9.86, far less than it would cost to make something similar from scratch at home. And with this, there’s no baking or cleanup to worry about. Just slice and serve. While the dessert easily stands on its own, adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on top takes it even further.

The music world is unfortunately filled with so many "what ifs." So many legendary artists have gone too soon, oftentimes at the heights of their career. It's a tragic fact of artistry. Music is such a formative and emotional art, which makes it hit that much harder when one of them is taken from us. Despite not being close to being alive when it happened, I am deeply saddened when I think about Randy Rhoads.

Rhoads was most well known for being Ozzy Osbourne's guitarist for his first two solo records. Ozzy certainly knew how to surround himself with metal pioneers, because Rhoads was a true innovator. I always think of him with the likes of Eddie Van Halen. Both of them were able to warp and change the form of the guitar to sound like an alien instrument.

Rhoads, despite his tragic early passing, is still one of the most revered guitarists out there, charting on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitar Solos list at #17 for his solo on "Crazy Train."

Rhoads' Passing Was So Tragic

Randy Rhoads was 25 years old when he died in a freak plane crash the day after a show in Knoxville. The way the story goes, the band had a long night of driving and decided to stop at an airstrip in Florida to fix a malfunctioning AC unit in the bus. While they were stopped, the band's bus driver and private pilot Andrew Aycock took out a small propellor plane and began flying it around in an attempt to graze the tour bus as a prank.

Rhoads joined Aycock inside the plane for another one of these fly-bys along with the band's makeup artist Rachel Youngblood. The plane made a few of these attempts to touch the bus before striking the wing on the roof of the bus and breaking it into two pieces. The plane spiraled afterward and crashed into a nearby home, bursting into flames. All three passengers were killed instantly.

The incident sent shockwaves through the rock world. Everyone knew how much of a legend in the making Rhoads was, and many of his peers had a great amount of reverence for both his talent and his character. His absence is still felt greatly today.

Everyone should at least listen to "Blizzard of Ozz." That record features some of the most innovative and forward thinking guitar playing you'll hear from the era. Randy Rhoads was one of the best to ever play, and if nothing else, at least he and Ozzy are reunited now. I'm sure there's a hell of a show wherever they happen to be.

Over the course of 25 seasons, we've become intimately familiar with the workings of the New York City Police Department on Law & Order. For the milestone season, Maura Tierney has been holding down the fort as the intrepid Lieutenant Jessica Brady. But, in an exclusive sneak peek of the Season 25 finale, we see that even she isn't above reproach from a completely different part of the criminal justice system: The FBI.

In "Liberty," the final episode of the season, Brady is investigating the murder of a military hero. However, due to the nature of the victim, that means the feds have come a-knockin'. In this case, it's an agent (played by special guest RobinS. Walker) walking into Brady's office with one simple, but stunning, demand.

Law & Order Season 25 Finale Sneak Peek (1:14)

"You need to release Frank Mazio," she says.

"Why's that?" Brady immediately asks.

"I can't get into the details at the moment," she replies.

Brady outlines, "Well, we're investigating him for the murder of a vice admiral in the United States Army."

"He didn't do it," the agent interrupts. "I assure you."

"Okay, well then forget it," Brady replies, sarcastically.

"I can explain more later. But right now—"

"What's his alibi?" Brady says, taking her turn to interrupt. "I mean, do you have any proof for us that he's not involved?"

Clearly, the tension is ratcheting up, the agent tersely says, "As I said, we can talk about all this down the road. But right now, we need to pull him out."

Brady puts her foot down, stating, "I'm not releasing him."

"Then that would be a bad career move."

"Are you seriously threatening me?!"

With things building to a fever pitch, Vincent Riley (Dan Stevens) finally decides to step in, having been in the corner this entire time. "Alright, Jess, come on. We just need to know that Mr. Mazio is not going to be leaving town anytime soon."

After a silent exchange between the lieutenant and detective, the former finally acquiesces. But it's clear she's doing so without any form of satisfaction. Indeed, as Riley officially releases Mazio, handing him his cane, Brady simply leans against the wall, arms crossed. It's only when the suspect is around the corner that she utters an important question to Riley.

"What the hell is going on?"

It's one we're certainly leaving this first look with as well! Considering how upset Brady seems to be with her main suspect walking away, it looks like there may be something shady going on with the FBI's interference. Coupled with star Odelya Halvi teasing that the finale will feature something that has never happened before on Law & Order, we're on the edge of our seat waiting to see what happens in Thursday's finale, and how it impacts the already-renewed Season 26.

The Law & Order Season 25 finale airs Thursday, Mar. 14 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.

It's not every day one of the most famous musicals to ever premiere on Broadway makes its triumphant return to NYC.

In celebration of the show's historic 30th anniversary, Rent is officially making its long-awaited comeback to New York's theater district, complete with the cast of the original 1996 production.

According to People magazine, the Richard Rodgers Theatre will hold a one-night-only concert featuring Rent's "original cast members and a bevy of special guests" on October 26, 2026. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on June 1, with proceeds denoted to Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.

Written in the early to mid 1990s by the late Jonathan Larson, Rent follows a group of artists struggling to make ends meet in the 1980s East Village. As they each do their best to prosper under their increasingly uncertain situations, they also contend with the growing crisis surrounding HIV, culminating in tragic outcomes for some of the artists involved.

As part of the one-night-only concert, Rent's original director, Michael Greif, will return to direct the performance, alongside original music director Tim Weil.

“Jonathan wrote Rent in honor of the people he knew who were living and struggling with HIV and in honor of the many friends and contemporaries he lost to AIDS,” Greif said of the upcoming performance. “I know he’d be proud and honored to join forces with Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS to celebrate the 30th year anniversary of his milestone musical."

Loosely based on the 1896 opera La Bohème, Rent enjoyed tremendous success upon its debut in 1996, running for a total of 12 years and winning such prestigious accolades as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Musical, among many others.

At the time of its closure in 2008, the show ran for an estimated 5,123 performances, making it the 12th longest-running show on Broadway.

From cult candy bars to forgotten lunchbox staples, these retro 1980s treats would disappear fast if they ever made a comeback.

The Fast Food Club website compiled a list of 20 discontinued snacks that would sell out instantly upon their return. The list comprised many favorites '80s and '90s kids would happily recall.

Additionally, Screen Crush compiled its own list of '80s foods that no longer exist. Fans still remember them vividly, fueling constant demand for their return decades after they vanished from store shelves.

These types of snacks taste like childhood in the best way possible: simple, sweet, and tied to a time when everything felt a little more carefree. One bite can take you right back to packed lunches, after-school treats, and a simpler kind of everyday joy.

Planters Cheez Balls Tiffany Hagler-Geard/Bloomberg via Getty Images

In 1981, Planters Cheez Balls were introduced and became a sensation. The round container was a good snacking size, and the rush consumers felt by pulling back the tabbed lid remains something that only exists in memory.

The snack was discontinued in 2006 but returned to store shelves in 2018. At the time of its return, Planters Head of Brand Building Melanie Huet said in a statement, “We made sure our Cheez Balls and Cheez Curls still have the same delicious taste, airy texture, and fluorescent color you know and love, so our fans can enjoy a nostalgic trip down memory lane with every canister.” However, purists believe that the taste of the original snack was far superior and more cheesy.

Jell-O Pudding Pops

Jell-O Pudding Pops debuted in the late 1970s, but it wasn’t until the 1980s that they truly took off. A series of commercials featuring Bill Cosby helped turn the frozen treat into a cultural phenomenon, emphasizing the fun and indulgence of every bite.

The snack was discontinued in 2010, according to Foodie, reportedly because production costs became too high for the company to maintain. Still, fans looking to recreate the nostalgic treat can find a homemade version on the Kraft Heinz website, keeping that classic taste of childhood alive.

Hi-C Ecto Cooler

Hi-C Ecto Cooler, released in 1989, was an orange-tangerine-flavored, green-colored drink. It launched in 1989 to coincide with the release of the feature film Ghostbusters 2.

The drink was a rebrand of Hi-C's Citrus Cooler drink, which had been around since the '60s. But the popularity of the drink was tied to its mascot, Slimer, a character from the film.

Around 1997, Slimer was quietly taken off the packaging. The product was discontinued in 2001, but re-emerged in 2016 for a revamped version of Ghostbusters.

Keebler Magic Middles Cookies

Keebler Magic Middle Cookies were a huge hit when they debuted in 1989. The cookies' tender outside was paired with a creamy interior.

According to the Foods We Loved Wiki, the brand was reportedly discontinued so Keebler could use the equipment that manufactured those products for other uses. Keebler Magic Middle cookies were ultimately discontinued.

In a 2023 X response to a customer plea for the snacks' return, a Keebler spokesperson stated that the cookies were discontinued "to keep our product line interesting and give consumers innovative flavors. We periodically have to discontinue products, which was the case with our Magic Middles."

Bonkers!

Bonkers! was a soft, chewy candy with a liquid interior. They were popular in the '80s for their unique taste and fun commercials with the slogan, "bonk you out."

Bonkers! were originally made by Nabisco, but were discontinued in the late 1990s. Food & Wine reported in 2018 that Leaf Brands was planning to bring the candy back. Although a webpage for the brand exists, there is no indication the candy is back in production.

These retro snacks bring back memories of childhood in a way few things can. Even decades later, fans still talk about them fondly and wish they could experience those original, familiar flavors one more time.

Ghirardelli is doubling down on its viral chocolate sensation, offering a fresh, fruity take that adds a seasonal twist to the cult-favorite flavor combo.

On Wednesday, the 174-year-old chocolate company revealed a new treat in stores for fans of its viral Dubai Style Chocolate sundae, which was first released last year and proved so popular that it earned its own dedicated chocolate line. This time, it's not a truffle collection or a sundae, but something even sweeter—it's Ghirardelli's Dubai Style Chocolate Strawberry Bliss.

"The Dubai Style Chocolate Sundae quickly became a standout for us last year, and the excitement from our guests made it clear that the indulgent sweet, salty & crunchy  profile had lasting appeal," Lacey Zane, vice president of restaurant & retail at Ghirardelli Chocolate Company, explained in a statement on Wednesday, adding, "Dubai Style Chocolate Strawberry Bliss adds a fresh contrast that is light and refreshing."

Ghirardelli Debuts New Dubai Style Chocolate Strawberry Bliss

While chocolate and pistachio have taken over feeds everywhere, pairing strawberry with pistachio has also been a longtime favorite across the globe, with recipes for treats and simple snacks like Strawberry Pistachio Shortcake, cakes, salads, tarts, galettes and pistachio-butter stuffed strawberries widely available.

According to the official description in the May 13 press release, Ghirardelli's new Dubai Style Chocolate Strawberry Bliss features fresh-sliced strawberries layered with the chocolatier's handmade hot fudge and its signature pistachio butter, along with kataifi (shredded, noodle-like strands of sweet phyllo dough), white chocolate, and sea salt blend, before it's finished with whipped cream and barista chips—talk about indulgence!

The treat is inspired not only by Ghirardelli's own successful sundae but also by the DIY Dubai Strawberry Cup that went viral last year, and, according to Zane, the fresh strawberries and nutty pistachio butter perfectly complement the richness of the brand's handmade hot fudge. It's a "perfect flavor pairing for the summer season," per the exec.

Harrison Ford is notoriously private, but the legendary actor might have a future as a fashion icon.

The beloved star, 83, who is known for diverse films ranging from the Indiana Jones franchise to roles in Witness and The Fugitive, has tackled television in recent years with his role as Dr. Paul Rhoades in Apple TV+'s hit series Shrinking. But one role Ford isn't exactly known for is that of fashion plate. However, that may change after the acclaimed star wore a kilt alongside star skateboarder Tony Hawk at the Harrison Ford x Glenmorangie launch celebration at the Sunset Tower Hotel on Tuesday in West Hollywood, California. With a tumbler of the single malt Scotch whisky in his hand, Ford showed off his star style. Maybe we could get him on a runway someday soon!

Ford Just Gave a Powerful Commencement Speech at Arizona State University

On Monday evening, Ford shared a powerful speech at an Undergraduate Commencement at Arizona State University, recognizing the school's largest graduating class ever, with more than 14,000 undergraduate students earning more than 15,000 degrees, the school shared.

“Your generation has far more power than you may realize,” Ford told Arizona State University’s Class of 2026 at Mountain America Stadium. “And if you harness that power, if you find your leadership, your issues, your voice, the world will not be able to ignore you."

Ford also shared that when he was a college student, his grades were slipping. Looking for an easy A, he signed up for a drama class. Soon, he discovered he had found his calling.

“My classmates were people I had previously discounted as geeks and misfits. But I soon realized I was a geek and misfit,” he said. “I had found my fit. These were my people.”

He soon moved to California and worked as a carpenter.

“This went on for about 15 years, during which I did a lot of carpentry and only four or five acting jobs, but they were more ambitious, good projects. And then it all added up, and I got ‘Star Wars,’” he said, as the audience screamed in celebration.

The rest is Han Solo history.

Louisville is officially the place to be for thrill-seekers this May as a one-of-a-kind flight prepares for takeoff. While Kentucky Kingdom officially kicks off its 2026 season this weekend, the park's most anticipated addition is still undergoing its final preparations. The wait, however, is nearly over: the custom-designed Flying Fox roller coaster is officially scheduled to take flight on Thursday, May 28.

This isn't your standard off-the-shelf model. As a suspended coaster with a completely bespoke 1,380-foot layout, it has been a major point of discussion in enthusiast circles since its announcement. Unlike many family-oriented rides that follow a predictable loop, Flying Fox was designed to mimic the low-altitude maneuvers of a crop-dusting pilot. The experience sends riders soaring 65 feet above the park, reaching speeds of 37 mph and culminating in a signature plunge through a tunnel.

What has the roller coaster enthusiast community particularly buzzed is the ride’s accessibility paired with its custom engineering. With a height requirement of just 38 inches, it serves as a "gateway" coaster that doesn't compromise on the smooth, modern sensations that high-end manufacturers have mastered in recent years.

On Reddit’s r/rollercoasters, the excitement is palpable; as one fan noted, "Seems to be a custom layout too! 421 meters long (1380 ft) and will complement the park incredibly well! It even has a finale tunnel underneath the midway. What a great addition!" Others have praised the park's decision to invest in a high-quality "new gen" suspended model, with one rider adding, "These family inverts are worth every penny... I can imagine seeing lots more of these pop up."

If you’re planning to catch the coaster’s debut from out of town, the Tempo by Hilton Louisville Downtown NuLu is an ideal home base. Perfectly situated near the heart of the city and just a short drive from the park, it allows you to extend the day's excitement while relaxing with sweeping views of the Louisville skyline at its rooftop restaurant, High Stakes Rooftop.

For those who can't wait until the 28th, the park is hosting a First Riders Auction where fans can bid to be among the first 20 people to officially ride the Fox, with proceeds benefiting the Kentucky 4-H Foundation. Whether you’re a local looking for a new weekend staple or a traveler chasing the latest in custom track design, May 28 is the date to watch.

When the Season 11 finale of Chicago Medbegins tonight, Hannah (Jessy Schram) faces one of the most challenging deliveries of her career: Her own. She’s going into labor two weeks early, but there’s an even more challenging twist: The hospital is on lockdown.

Gaffney is on lockdown because one of the prisoners who was brought in for medical treatment following a prison riot escaped, so no one is allowed in or out of the hospital, including the obstetrician who is on her way to deliver the baby of a woman already in the labor, so Hannah, despite having her own contractions and her water breaking, has to deliver that baby while hers is on the way.

“Not only is there a life-threatening event that’s happening around her that she needs to make sure that her patients aren’t aware of. To be honest, she needs to be the one that constantly is putting them in a safe space so that this new baby can happen,” Schram tells Parade in this exclusive interview. “She’s concerned, and she’s great at masking it, I would say. She very much lets her adrenaline take over. I think that in surgeries and when she’s doing her job, she is the best she can possibly be.”

But her own contractions are getting painful even as she wants to do her best to help the mother-to-be, so Hannah has to compartmentalize and try not to think about the fact that she’s in active labor.

“Back in the day, Hannah was working when she was actually still on drugs. And she was an active addict, so she’s definitely acted her way through many things,” Schram continues. “But this is one where, physically, it gets to a point where she can’t act through it anymore; it’s taking her out no matter what. So, we’re definitely coming into this finale, not at a crossroads; this is happening, and there is also no way that she can’t be in the scenario that she’s in and help this woman. I will say that the birth is not easy; it does not go as planned. There are issues that happen. So I think the road bumps are stacked very high, there’s a lot of detours along the way.”

As shown in the promo, Hannah winds up in the delivery bed herself, and it is no secret that she’s had issues with Dr. Vera Lovell (Abby Corrigan), who has a completely different approach to patient care than Hannah, but was hired to be her replacement while Hannah’s on maternity leave. It also doesn’t help that Hannah’s own mother died while giving birth to her, so she has that fear as well, which she hasn’t really shared. It’s the old story of doctors make the worst patients.

“[Hannah] is not somebody that easily trusts, and she definitely is not trusting Lovell very easily either,” Schram says. “She very much wants to have a hand in what’s going on. I think that she’s also naturally trying to be in charge, but also putting on a face to make sure that she’s in charge and doing everything she can to keep her fears down. I think she doesn’t want to be vulnerable in this moment because the second that she puts her walls down, anything can happen. She’s on high alert during the whole thing, and she’s not an easy patient at first, by any means.”

Also in the Season 11 finale, Dr. Daniel Charles (Oliver Platt) is in jeopardy of losing his job to Dr. Theo Rabari (Manish Dayal), whom he discovered in the penultimate episode has an antisocial personality disorder (sociopathy) diagnosis. Still, board member Miranda (Clare Holman) wants to oust Daniel and install Theo in his position in psychiatry, possibly because Theo’s numbers are better, and Theo is ignoring the fact that Daniel has tried to help his career, and he’s going along with the program.

“Because he’s a sociopath, he doesn’t even look at it that way,” showrunner Allen MacDonald tells Parade. “It’s an opportunity, I take it. He doesn’t even experience the complication; the guilt has to be pointed out to him.”

The question is, will Daniel use his knowledge to fight dirty to keep his job? He is extremely ethical, and if he did reveal what he knows about Theo, it would not only be against HIPAA regulations but also his own beliefs. That said, the aftereffects of the stroke he had have let him know he really wants to continue his work at Gaffney.

“I think Charles is conflicted for two reasons,” MacDonald teases. “One, he built this department. He’s not going to sit around and let anybody else ruin his legacy or try to pawn off his legacy as their own, so he’s not going to let that happen, he wants to fight. But how he fights is very complicated for him, because the easiest thing to do is to exploit the sociopathy as a weapon to destroy Dr. Theo Rabari’s career. He feels that would be deeply hypocritical of him when he’s worked so long to destigmatize those kinds of diagnoses as being a negative when they don’t have to be.”

Sarah Ramos as Dr. Caitlin Lenox

The season finale also follows up on the slip made by Caitlin Lenox (Sarah Ramos) last week when she told Mitch Ripley (Luke Mitchell) in the heat of an argument that she loved him. So, will she now push him away?

“Well, I think that this is the big new level of trust for Lenox, a new level of vulnerability that she’s not used to,” MacDonald says. “This is something she’s always tried to avoid, letting people in, because it got in the way of achieving and succeeding as a doctor. Because she never knew whether or not she had prion, but she knew it was a possibility, and she wanted to make sure that she did as much as she could career-wise with whatever time she had.”

But when her brother was ill, in order to get him to take the prion test to prove to him that he had something to live for, Lenox took the test with him. Her brother tested negative, and she tested positive, but she lied about it. But having the diagnosis confirmed has changed how she lives her life. At least, so far.

“Now she knows that she has prion, and that has changed her attitude towards it, and she’s trying, in her way, to deal with that,” McDonald says.. There’s been a lot of self-destructive behavior this season because of it, and that’s why we thought Ripley would be a good character to match her up with this season, because he was going down a self-destructive path himself last season and had come out of it. And so, I think that them together is very healthy, especially for her. I think that we will continue to see more of them together next season, but I think the prion is always going to be there.”

Chicago Med airs its 11th season finale tonight at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. Streams next day on Peacock.

Joan Collins brought full Alexis Carrington glamour to the 2026 Cannes Film Festival red carpet this week.

The Dynasty legend, who turns 93 on May 23, arrived Tuesday, May 12, for the opening ceremony of the 79th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France wearing a dramatic white gown with oversized sculptural ruffles, long black gloves and dazzling diamond jewelry.

As photographers crowded the famous Cannes red carpet, Collins posed confidently in the eye-catching look, which instantly reminded many fans of the luxurious style made famous by her iconic Dynasty character Alexis Carrington during the 1980s.

The actress completed the look with sparkling chandelier earrings, a diamond necklace and bold glam makeup, while her signature dark updo added even more old Hollywood drama to the appearance.

Collins attended the opening ceremony and screening of La Vénus Electrique (The Electric Kiss), a French romantic comedy directed by Pierre Salvadori that was chosen to launch this year’s festival. The 79th Cannes Film Festival also welcomed stars including Jane Fonda, Demi Moore, Bella Hadid, Eva Longoria and jury president Park Chan-wook.

The legendary actress has remained a red carpet fixture well into her 90s while continuing to work steadily in film and television. Collins recently appeared in The Gentle Sex and is also attached to the upcoming film My Duchess, in which she portrays Wallis Simpson.

Simpson was the American socialite whose relationship with King Edward VIII triggered one of the biggest royal scandals of the 20th century. Edward ultimately abdicated the British throne in order to marry her in 1937, paving the way for his younger brother, George VI, to become king and eventually for George’s daughter, Queen Elizabeth II, to ascend to the throne.

Ahead of Cannes, Collins also spoke with Deadline about preparing for the festival’s famous red carpet. “I thought I want to just be able to get on the red carpet and not be a lump,” she joked, revealing she had been taking dance lessons before the event. Collins also reflected on her long career, telling the outlet, “I don’t consider myself a film star. I consider myself a working actress.”

Best known worldwide for her role as the ruthless and glamorous Alexis Carrington on Dynasty, Collins became one of television’s defining stars during the show’s peak in the 1980s. Her performance earned her a Golden Globe Award and helped transform Alexis into one of the most recognizable characters in TV history.

Even decades later, Collins still knows exactly how to command a red carpet entrance, especially at an event as famously glamorous as Cannes.

"We can't wait for them to enjoy the iconic taste they love in a whole new way."

"Nutella is one of the most trusted flavors in the world and our job was simple: don't mess it up. Every decision we made was in service of delivering exactly what fans expect, now in a format they can enjoy straight from the freezer," said Isabella Chia, Chief Marketing Officer at Wells Enterprises.

As expected, the new treats' introduction has met with an overwhelmingly positive response from fans across social media.

"Finally I've been waiting for this ever since I saw that they have them in Italy," one user wrote on Instagram. "Well there goes my calorie deficit."

"Perfect snack," another shopper wrote.

"I need," a third user wrote.

On Wednesday, May 13, Savannah Guthrie shared a reflective message that touched on the emotional weight of waiting and uncertainty. The post, which was originally shared by Guthrie's Today co-anchor Carson Daly, comes as concern continues to surround the ongoing search for her mother, Nancy Guthrie. 

"Keep praying, no matter how hopeless life may seem. God can change your life in a single moment," reads Luke 18:1, which was shared on Daly's Instagram Stories. "Bring her home," he added, along with a red heart and the praying hands emoji.

Savannah re-shared Daly's post on her own Instagram Stories, letting the message speak for itself.

Savannah has returned to her post at Today and is doing her best to live her day-to-day life while dealing with the overwhelming weight of the unknown.

On Sunday, May 10, Savannah shared a heartbreaking message for her mom on Mother's Day.

"Mother, daughter, sister, Nonie - we miss you with every breath. We will never stop looking for you. We will never be at peace until we find you," she captioned an Instagram post. "We need help.
