Roseanne Barr stunned fans when she made comments about her former co-star Michael Fishman, leading the Roseanne child star to respond and ask for “a retraction or an apology.”

Fishman’s on-screen mom slammed into the actor during a recent interview on the “Can’t Be Censored” podcast about comments he made about the cancellation of the Roseanne revival. The actor claimed publicly that the revival was “rightfully cancelled” following Barr’s social media comments that were deemed racist. She compared Barack Obama’s advisor Valerie Jarrett, who is Black, to Planet of the Apes.

During the podcast, Barr called Fishman a “brainwashed bigot” and called him a “little worm.” She claimed that her co-star messaged her to explain her tweet’s intention, and instead responded with “f**k yourself and stay f***ed ‘till the day you die.”

Fishman has now gone public with his own response to Barr’s comments toward him. The 44-year-old posted a video on X explaining his stance on the matter, and the show’s canceled revival is “clear.”

Despite his on-screen mother’s harsh words, he gave a “thank you” to Barr. She had admitted the truth behind what happened “because after eight years, you said something that I was too loyal to say. Thank you for finally admitting, publicly, the truth, that you and I, your family, and your team and everybody around us has always known, which is that I reached out to you the morning of the tweets.”

He added that he still gave Barr the “respect” to ask for clarity about the situation and never “turned my back.” The actor adds that he still showed his co-star “compassion, even though I vehemently disagreed.” Fishman admits that he “painfully held her response quietly for her protection”, but her recent actions and comments “gave you a glimpse into the darker side of my childhood.”

The Roseanne star asked Barr to issue “a retraction or an apology” for what she said, and sadly admitted that someone who had such a powerful impact on his life has changed. He also gracefully said that he still has “tremendous gratitude” for the years he and Barr worked together and the “legacy” they built. After the recent comments, Fishman explains he hasn’t spoken about his experience on the show and his childhood enough.

“I don’t talk enough about the show or my experience growing up on it, and I might have to fix that soon to honor your kindness. But now it’s time to move on. It’s time to turn the page,” he said.

He finished his response video by promising fans that he will set healthy boundaries for himself, and that “we get to decide who we are, and our actions show who we are” to others.

When you tune into the newest version of S.W.A.T. in the form of Exiles, premiering on STARZ today, it won’t be your father’s police drama. Yes, it will still have the same theme song and take viewers on a thrill ride with car, motorcycle and helicopter chases, and employ hand-to-hand combat. But it will have a darker tone.

“It looks darker; it feels darker,” Shemar Moore, who plays Daniel “Hondo” Harrelson, tells Parade in this exclusive interview. “The writing is different and a little more complex, a little more controversial.”

In S.W.A.T. Exiles, Hondo is tasked with leading a new squad of young, untested officers on dangerous, high-stakes missions – weekly cases that range from drug busts to hostage rescues to gang warfare. But beneath the action lies a darker setup: The team has been hand-picked to fail. As tensions flare and betrayals surface, Hondo must fight to hold the group together, even as his own leadership and sense of self are tested.

It isn’t just the series that has changed, but Hondo as well. 2026 Hondo is somber and sad. His mom has died and he’s divorced from Nichelle (Rochelle Aytes). Moore sees parallels to his own life.

“In my real life, my mom passed away six years ago,” He says. “No pity party, just facts. But it rocked me. My father passed away two months before her, so there’s highs and lows alike. So, with Hondo being divorced and his mom passed away, he’s lost. But just like Shemar, I have my baby girl Frankie, and Hondo has his baby girl Vivian. My purpose was to make my mother proud, and now she’s gone. I still try to make her proud, but now I want to be the best version of myself for my daughter Frankie.”

The same is true for Hondo and his daughter. The result for Moore is that he sees the new version of Hondo with the new flaws as being more human.

“He makes mistakes, he doesn’t always get it right,” Moore points out. “He might even bend the rules, break the rules. He might keep secrets or even lie for the greater good of ultimate justice.”

And that is compounded by the fact that Hondo soon learns that the new SWAT team has been set up to fail. Plus, one of his team is a mole, working against him. So, he has a choice. He can walk away or he can stay and fight. It’s quite the change from the original team where everyone pulled together for the greater good. In the new scenario, Hondo doesn’t know who he can trust.

“He doesn’t know where he stands,” Moore says. “He knows he has a target on his back. He has to look over his shoulder. I just think it’s interesting to watch Hondo have to deal with all of that and convince the team of their potential, of the greater good that’s bigger than themselves if they work together. The machine doesn’t want any of us to win. So, you cannot like me all you want, but I’m your ticket. Without me, none of us will make it, but if we work together, we can beat the machine. And that’s the through line of what you’re going to see in 10 episodes of Season 1.”

The first of the ten episodes that comprise S.W.A.T. Exiles premieres today exclusively on STARZ. The series has been picked up for a second season by Sony, which Moore says will begin filming soon. As to whether or not it will air on STARZ, that remains to be determined by this season’s ratings.

In the 1960s, Dusty Springfield found a newfound spark in her career in the U.S., which led to one of her most well-received albums, with a hit track about young love.

“Son of a Preacher Man” would become one of the country singer’s beloved hits, written by John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins. It told the story of a young girl falling in love with the son of a local preacher. Billy, the preacher’s son, would sweet-talk her and teach her about love.

Springfield recorded the track in her late 20s, and it was included on her fan-favorite album Dusty in Memphis. The track landed the singer at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and at No.9 on the UK Singles Chart. It also made headway across Europe.

Before it was recorded by the country singer, it was originally meant for someone else. According to SongFacts, Hurley and Wilkins originally penned the song for Aretha Franklin. Reports claim that she turned it down, believing it was disrespectful.

“I was playing organ on an Aretha Franklin session,” Wilkins remembers, according to American Songwriter. “We were in the control room when [Wexler] asked me and John, ‘Why don’t you guys write a song for Aretha?’”

A few days went by before Hurley and Wilkins found a spark of inspiration, ad Wilkins explained, “We were thinking of Aretha, and her father was a preacher and both of my grandfathers were preachers. I said, ‘She’s the daughter of a preacher man and you might say I’m the son of a preacher man,’ and that’s how we came up with the title. It took us half an hour, maybe 45 minutes, to write the song.”

Atlantic Records executive Jerry Wexler loved the song, but felt it wouldn’t have fit Franklin’s style. As he was already scheduled to work on Springfield’s Dusty in Memphis, he suggested that “Son of a Preacher Man” go to the country singer.

It just so happened that Franklin did end up releasing her own cover of the song a year later for her This Girl’s in Love with You album. Her sister, Erma, also covered the track. “Son of a Preacher Man” became a hit cover for other artists as well and gained recognition as a classic that made Rolling Stone‘s list of the “Greatest Songs of All Time.”

Springfield’s country song gained a resurgence as a pop culture hit when included in the soundtrack of Quentin Tarantino‘s 1994 film Pulp Fiction. The track itself led to millions of copies of the album being sold. Tarantino once commented that he would not have filmed the scene in which the song is featured if he had not gotten permission to use it.

Alicia Silverstone has gone darker for fall. 

The 49-year-old actress showed off shorter hair with a side part in a new Instagram video, where she also spoke about breast cancer prevention.

The new hairstyle is a change from the slightly lighter blonde look Silverstone wore at the Los Angeles premiere of The Invite on June 24. 

The Clueless star’s video was a joint post with the Physicians Committee, an organization she has worked with for decades. Wearing a gray T-shirt that read “Eat Plants, Crush Cancer,” Silverstone spoke directly about the importance of preventing breast cancer. 

“Let’s beat breast cancer. I love Physicians Committee … I’ve been working with this organization for, I don’t even know, maybe 30 years,” she said. 

Silverstone also addressed the upcoming Breast Cancer Awareness Month in the caption, writing, “And with #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth coming in October, there’s no better time to learn more about prevention and the steps we can take to support our health.”

Fans were quick to compliment Silverstone’s new hairstyle, with one writing, “Alicia you look so gorgeous stunning I’m in love.”

Another commented, “Wow. Age is your friend.” A third fan added, “Oh my god this woman is so gorgeous.”

View this post on Instagram

Her post came as she participated in the Physicians Committee’s Let’s Beat Breast Cancer Give-A-Thon, described as “a special live virtual event focused on sharing evidence-based information and practical steps that may help lower breast cancer risk.”

The virtual event featured several other familiar faces, including William H. Macy, Felicity Huffman, Marilu Henner, Dionne Lea, Tamara Taylor, Samantha Harris, Mekia Cox and Miss Maryland 2026 Holly Plank.

Silverstone has talked about going darker with her hair before. During a 2025 interview with Byrdie, she said, “I love having dark hair. But as you age, it’s not as easy to maintain.”

She also discussed her plant-based diet during the interview, describing several changes she noticed after adopting the lifestyle. 

“My health, I did not plan for,” she said. “I could think clearly, feel more, [and] be present. All of a sudden, my nails got really thick and strong. My hair got really thick. My eyes got all white.”

The Beauty Shop actress also talked about why she doesn’t want to approach aging any other way.

“This is the one thing in life that I feel so certain about. There’s so much to not be certain about, but I am so absolutely certain about this … I feel like it really works with aging well.”

Back in April, the universe of Stranger Things expanded with its first-ever spinoff. Tales from ’85 put our intrepid Hawkins heroes in animated form, taking on, of course, an existential supernatural threat.

To investigate the oddities spreading across nearby farms, the kids team up with a new student named Nikki to form the Hawkins Investigators Club.

Throughout the 10-episode storyline, the gang faces a fresh breed of strange creatures, pulls off a high-stakes tabloid heist to protect Eleven, and fights to protect Hawkins as danger closes in. The voice cast includes Brooklyn Davey Norstedt, Jolie Hoang-Rappaport, Luca Diaz, Elisha Williams, Braxton Quinney, Benjamin Plessala, Odessa A’zion, Brett Gipson, Jeremy Jordan, and Janeane Garofalo.

A hotel in Hong Kong has officially been named the best hotel in the world for 2026, and it’s a name that may sound familiar.

Rosewood Hong Kong has taken the No. 1 spot on The 50 Best Hotels 2026 ranking for the second consecutive year, making it the first hotel to win the coveted title two years in a row.

The 65-story hotel, which opened in 2019 as part of the Victoria Dockside development, overlooks Victoria Harbour and Hong Kong’s skyline. The property has 413 rooms and suites, 11 restaurants and bars, and the Asaya Spa by Guerlain. According to The 50 Best, Rosewood Hong Kong’s ability to deliver personalized service despite its size helped distinguish it from the other hotels on this year’s list.

Rosewood Hong Kong also took home the title of The Best Hotel In Asia.

“Hospitality is a powerful force for connection,” Sonia Cheng, Chief Executive Officer, Rosewood Hotel Group, said in a written release celebrating the news. “To be recognized once again by The 50 Best Hotels is more than just a milestone for the brand. It is also a moment of pride for our team, and for the destinations and local communities where we are deeply connected. We’re not just building beautiful hotels; together, we are creating places that are globally celebrated and genuinely meaningful for these destinations. That sense of shared achievement leaves a legacy for our associates, partners and communities.”

The annual ranking, which celebrates hotels across 22 destinations and six continents, was unveiled September 15 at a ceremony in Paris.

The top five hotels for 2026 also include two properties in Bangkok. Capella Bangkok came in at No. 2, followed by Four Seasons Bangkok at Chao Phraya River at No. 3. Atlantis The Royal in Dubai ranked No. 4, while Passalacqua in Lake Como rounded out the top five.

“The 50 Best Hotels 2026 captures a defining moment for global hospitality, and we are delighted to celebrate the world’s most exceptional hotels that continue to shape how people travel, connect and experience culture,” Faye Huggett, Director of Community for The 50 Best Hotels, said in a release. “As The 50 evolves, our ambition is to continue to champion the people, places and ideas setting the agenda for the future of hospitality.”

Mel C is getting sentimental while she tours the United States.

This week, the Spice Girl took to Instagram with a carousel of old photos, with the first photo being of her and Lisa ‘Left Eye’ Lopes from TLC.

“Emotional to see this Ron Davis shot of Lisa and I,” Mel C captioned the photo post. “I have such amazing memories of this day, Lisa was such a special collaborator. I was so lucky to have the opportunity to work with her.”

While both women were in hit girl groups in the late ’90s and early 2000s, Lopes — who died in a car crash in 2002 at age 30 — was featured on Mel C’s solo single, “Never Be the Same Again,” in 2000.

View this post on Instagram

Other photos in the gallery comprise throwback shots with her fellow Spice Girls Emma Bunton, Mel B, Geri Halliwell-Horner, and Victoria Beckham.

“A lot of these were on tour in the US and here I am again 28 years later,” Mel C, who is wrapping up the North American leg of her ‘Melanie C World Tour,’ added. “Still loving every minute.”

While fans in general loved seeing the vintage photos, several commented on the singer’s heartfelt tribute to Lopes.

“It’s so nostalgic seeing these images. Wherever you are, Lisa, we will always remember you,” one said.

“REST IN POWER, LISA 🙏🏼😔🕊️ Forever in our hearts,” said another.

“All beautiful shots, but I absolutely love that first pic of you & Left Eye,” said a third.

Their single, which fans in the comments also gushed about, was on Mel C’s first solo album, “Northern Star.”

“I feel so lucky having had the chance to work with her,” Mel C told Billboard in 2020. “It’s such a big song for me — it was my first solo U.K. No. 1. And being a little Spice Girl, before we were unleashed onto the world, we really looked up to TLC. They were an incredible girl band. So to have that collaboration was really special.”

When country-rock pioneer Gram Parsons invited a then-unknown Emmylou Harris to sing alongside him, he didn’t just find a duet partner—he found his vocal soulmate.

Their spellbinding chemistry reached its emotional peak with their late 1973 recording of “Love Hurts.” With Harris’ soaring, tender harmonies wrapping around Parsons’ fragile lead vocals, the track captured a quiet intimacy that was almost too personal to listen to. More than 50 years later, it remains a gold standard for country heartbreak.

“Love Hurts” was written by Boudleaux Bryant in the 1950s, according to the website Laurel Canyon UK. It was originally recorded by the Everly Brothers in 1960 and Roy Orbison in 1961.

The song was recorded for Parsons’ Grievous Angel album released in 1974. Harris discussed the song with The Guardian, where she said she found her own voice in her partnership with Parsons.

“I discovered my own voice singing in harmony with Gram,” Harris explained. “There is something about the uniqueness of two voices creating a sound that does not come when they are singing solo, and I have always been fascinated by that.”

She continued, “That song, and our harmony, is kind of a pinnacle of our duet-singing together. We probably did it all in one take, live.”

Parsons died at 26 in September 1973, soon after he and Harris recorded the song. However, their partnership set off a domino effect that jump-started her country music career, which has lasted over five decades.

Taste of Country ranked the song at No. 3 on their list of the saddest country songs of the 1970s. They wrote, “This classic duet is one of those songs you listen to on repeat after a breakup. It’s an iconic crossover hit that has stood the test of time.”

While the Scottish hard-rock band Nazareth would score a massive, power-ballad hit with their arena-ready 1975 cover, Parsons and Harris made “Love Hurts” a country music classic with a far quieter approach. Instead of soaring electric guitars and gritty vocals, the pair stripped the track down to its bare country-rock bones.

More than 50 years after those haunting harmonies were laid down, Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris’ “Love Hurts” remains a timeless masterpiece of classic country heartbreak and a brilliant, fleeting musical partnership.

Singer Keke Wyatt was arrested in Georgia on September 20, 2026.

The 44-year-old was charged with terroristic threats, simple assault, and cruelty to children, according to TMZ. Wyatt was released two days later after posting a $1,050 bond, but exact details about what led to her arrest have yet to be released.

Wyatt has yet to comment on the arrest, instead promoting her appearance at the OKC R&B Festival on Sunday, October 4.

The “My First Love” singer is the proud mother of 11 children. She has three kids from her first marriage to her road manager, Rahmat Morton — Keyver, Rahjah Ke’, and Ke’Tarah Victoria — and four children — Ke’Mar Von, Wyatt Michael, Ke’Yoshi, and Kendall Miguel — with her second husband, Michael Ford. She is also the proud stepmom of Ford’s daughter, Mickayla, from a previous relationship.

She also welcomed two kids with her third husband, Zackariah Darring: a son named Ke’Riah, who was born in 2020, and another boy named Ke’Zyah in 2022. Keke also experienced a stillbirth and lost a daughter named Heaven.

Wyatt’s recent Instagram post had fans concerned, as she showed off some serious PDA with her new partner.

“Hmm something is off… but I’ll mind my business,” one person commented before another added, “Her children got stories to tell. Cuz, ain’t no way”

Ella Langley packed Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center on September 24, headlining the Knoxville venue for the first time. But despite a crowd full of devoted “Ella’s Fellas,” her Tennessee audience made it clear where their real loyalty lies.

The moment came during “Choosin’ Texas,” the song that recently broke the all-time record for the longest run atop Billboard’s Hot 100, now sitting at 23 consecutive weeks. 

As soon as Langley sang the line “’cause his heart still belongs to the Lone Star State,” the arena erupted, but not with applause. The crowd quickly went from cheering to booing.

The mixed reaction came just two days before No. 13 Tennessee is set to face No. 1 Texas on September 26. ESPN’s “College GameDay,” President Donald Trump and several politicians and celebrities are also expected to be in Knoxville for the matchup. 

With so much excitement building around the game, Tennessee fans weren’t exactly eager to hear a love letter to Texas, even from one of country music’s biggest stars.

Video of the moment quickly spread online, racking up over 285,000 views on X. Footage showed the crowd’s energy shift the second Langley mentioned Texas, with playful boos echoing through the arena as she paused mid-performance.

Langley, for her part, didn’t seem rattled. The country superstar just smiled, wagged her finger at the crowd and kept going through the final chorus.

“Choosin’ Texas” has been on an unprecedented run since climbing the charts last October. It recently surpassed Mariah Carey‘s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” to become the longest-running No. 1 song in Hot 100 history. 

“We loved the song when we wrote it, but none of us thought that it would be the song to do everything it’s doing,” Langley previously told Billboard. “It keeps giving us a reason to celebrate new milestones.”

However, with the big game approaching, it seems Knoxville fans were more focused on football than chart records.

Dolly Parton’s iconic film 9 to 5 is coming back to the big screen! The limited-time release will hit theaters on October 9.

Disney announced the cinematic comeback on September 25 (a.k.a. “9 to 5 Day” and “Give Like Dolly Day”). But that’s not all. The company will donate net proceeds from U.S. ticket sales to the Dollywood Foundation to support Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. 

What is the Dollywood Foundation?

The Dollywood Foundation began with a promise to help children in the queen of country’s home county, Sevier County, Tennessee, get the education they deserved. In 1990, the foundation established The Buddy Program to reduce high dropout rates. Parton herself gave every seventh- and eighth-grade student in the program $500 when they graduated from high school. 

By 1995, Parton’s programs grew to include Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Officially launched in 1996, the Library started as a way to gift young children in Sevier County free books. Over the years, the Imagination Library grew to serve over $3 million children worldwide, giving away more than 332 million free books and counting.

Along with these charitable efforts, Parton’s foundation provides $15,000 in scholarships to five Sevier County high school seniors, distributed more than $12 million to people affected by the Sevier County wildfires, donated over $2 million to relief and recovery efforts in North Carolina and Tennessee after Hurricane Helene, and supported local Sevier County healthcare through the Dolly Parton Center for Women’s Services.

The now-iconic film was Parton’s first movie role. Originally released in 1980, the dark comedy stars Parton, Jane Fonda, and Lily Tomlin as they navigate the male-dominated workplace of the ‘80s. The ahead-of-its-time story features a kidnapping (of their boss, played by Dabney Coleman) and a mini-revolution in which the three main characters implement equal pay for women, a flexible work schedule, and on-site daycare. 

Variety reviewed Parton’s performance in 1979, calling it, “A delightful screen debut in a role tailored to her already well-defined country girl personality.” 

Fonda, who developed the idea for 9 to 5, talked candidly to the American Film Institute about casting Parton:  “I turned on the radio and Dolly Parton was singing ‘Two Doors Down,’ and my hair stood on end. She’s never made a movie. I thought, ‘Oh my lord, Dolly, Lily, and Jane, okay. But it’s going to have to be a comedy. And I’m going to have to have the least interesting role.”

While the film has all the hallmarks of the 1980s, its themes, script, and acting still hold up today. 

How can you get tickets to the re-release of ‘9 to 5’?

The limited-time engagement runs for one week only, from October 9 through October 15 in theaters nationwide. Tickets are available for presale here right now.

Debra Winger was one of the most famous actresses of her generation, but she’s dedicated to activist work these days. The Terms of Endearment star shared photos from her arrest this week during a protest in New York City that coincided with Israeli Prime Minister Ben­jamin Net­an­yahu‘s address to the Gen­eral Assembly.

The iconic actress, 71, who is known for roles in films like An Officer and a Gentleman, Terms of Endearment, and Urban Cowboy, became a mainstay of the film industry back in the ’80s. She has only taken on occasional roles in more recent years, but blew fans away with an outstanding performance as Anne Hathaway‘s mother in the 2008 film Rachel Getting Married. Winger frequently shares that she doesn’t consider herself part of the Hollywood scene. But she found herself back in the headlines on Thursday alongside the more than 100 people who were arres­ted out­side the United Nations’ headquar­ters in New York City during a protest organized by Jewish Voices For Peace.

In the third slide, Winger is shown wearing a shirt that reads “fund people not bombs” and being put in cuffs by police during the protest, which saw the crowd chanting slogans like “Let Gaza live” and “the whole world is watching.” In her Instagram Stories, the beloved star called it “my honor to be arrested alongside the legend @lsansour,” referring to Linda Sansour. Susan Sarandon, Hannah Einbinder, Glennon Doyle, and whistleblower Chelsea Manning were also detained, according to The Guardian.

Winger’s Devotion to Activist Work

While Winger isn’t spotted much on film or TV screens anymore, she chooses to devote much of her time to activism. Last October, she joined other Jewish figures in signing an open letter calling for Israeli leadership to address Palestinian rights, Deadline reported. In January, Winger shared a rare photo of herself on social media for an event in Little Rock alongside poet Naomi Shihab Nye titled “A Life of Art and Activism.”

In early 1971, the international music scene got a surprise from an unlikely source. A then little-known British-Australian singer stepped into a recording studio to cut an acoustic cover of a song written by folk icon Bob Dylan. The track was “If Not for You,” which Dylan had released the year before on his album New Morning. More than five decades later, that cover is still remembered as the song that changed everything for Olivia Newton-John.

At just 22, Newton-John had spent the previous few years bouncing between small variety TV spots and a short-lived stint in Toomorrow, a sci-fi pop group built around a movie that flopped at the box office. She needed a real break. When her producers, Bruce Welch and John Farrar, brought her Dylan’s quiet, country-tinged original, they built her version around the slide-guitar arrangement George Harrison had used on his own cover a few months earlier, giving Newton-John’s take a brighter, more radio-friendly sheen than either man’s version. (Dylan and Harrison later performed the song together at 1971’s Concert for Bangladesh.)

The gamble worked. Released as a single, her rendition topped Billboard’s Easy Listening chart in the U.S. and climbed into the Top 10 in the UK and Australia. In the U.S., it also cracked the Top 25 on the Hot 100, an early sign of the crossover appeal that would define her sound. It gave American audiences their first real introduction to her voice, years before Grease made her a household name. A Cashbox review that November predicted she’d “become a major star”, a call that aged well.

Dylan wrote “If Not for You” as a love song to his wife Sara; Newton-John turned it into something else entirely, and named her debut album after it that same year, proof that the right voice can find new life in someone else’s song.

Ed Sheeran’s Friday and Saturday night shows at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, have been canceled, with the stadium saying the reason is an oncoming nor-easter.

“The decision was made with the safety of fans and everyone involved in the shows as the top priority,” Gillette Stadium posted on social media.

A representive for Kraft also shared a statement with TMZ.

“. “Stadium and tour management, along with public safety officials, have been closely monitoring the weather forecast over the past week. Due to the severe weather forecast throughout the weekend, the tour has made the difficult decision to cancel the Ed Sheeran concerts at Gillette Stadium,” the statement read. “The decision was made with the safety of fans, staff and everyone involved in the shows as the top priority. Refunds are available now at the point of purchase. Ticketholders who purchased through Ticketmaster will be automatically refunded.”

Fans are being offered refunds through their point of purchase, with Ticketmaster set to automatically refund those who purchased through them.

This comes after all of Sheeran’s opening acts pulled out of the tour, prompting the singer to push back the start time.

Robert Kraft, who owns Gillette Stadium, publicly objected to rapper Macklemore’s participation in the tour, as he was speaking out about Israel and Gaza. Specifically, he made a controversial “Free Palestine” speech on stage during the Sept. 4 concert at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. As a result, the tour dropped him, and the other acts pulled out in solidarity.

On Thursday, Sept. 24, TMZ reported that the stage construction for the back-to-back concerts had been halted due to the weather threat.

If you have brown sugar or powdered sugar sitting in your pantry, you may want to check the package before using it. Nearly 1.7 million pounds of sugar have been recalled after the products were found to potentially contain wheat kernel contamination, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

The recall includes certain light brown and powdered sugar products sold under the United, Good & Gather and Crystal Sugar brand names. The affected products were distributed across eight states and include both consumer-sized bags and much larger packages intended for commercial use.

The recall was initiated by Minneapolis-based United Sugar Producers and Refiners on Aug. 19. The FDA classified the recall as Class II on Sept. 21.

Why Is the Sugar Recalled?

The recalled sugar may contain wheat kernels, which is a concern because wheat is one of the nine major food allergens recognized by the FDA.

Someone purchasing plain brown sugar or powdered sugar may not expect the product to contain wheat, making the potential contamination particularly important for people with wheat allergies. The FDA’s Class II designation means that exposure to the affected products could cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences, while the probability of serious adverse health consequences is considered remote.

The recall does not mean that all United, Good & Gather or Crystal Sugar products are affected. Only specific products, package sizes and batch numbers are included.

Which Products Are Recalled?

Target

The recall includes both brown sugar and powdered sugar in several sizes.

Powdered Sugar

• 2-pound bag
• Item number: 817774
• UPC: 0 85239-08455 7

Because the recall involves multiple products and brands, consumers should check the brand, product, package size, UPC and batch number rather than assuming that every package of a particular sugar brand is affected.

Eight States Are Affected

The recalled sugar was distributed in eight states, including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Texas.

The FDA record does not provide a complete list of individual retailers or stores that received the products. The Good & Gather products are associated with Target’s private-label brand, but the overall recall also includes products distributed through other channels.

What Should You Do If You Have the Recalled Sugar?

If you live in one of the affected states, check your pantry for the recalled products before using brown or powdered sugar.

If your package matches the brand, product, size and batch number listed in the recall, do not eat or use the sugar. This is particularly important for anyone with a wheat allergy.

Consumers should return the recalled product to the place of purchase for a refund when possible. If returning it isn’t an option, dispose of it safely rather than consuming it or giving it to someone else.

Two days after celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis and Dancing with the Stars pro Alan Bersten were eliminated from the competition on Tuesday, September 22, longtime judge Carrie Ann Inaba said she was “sad” she didn’t get to provide more feedback to the duo beyond her one-word critique that night, when she called their performance “shaky.”

On September 24, Inaba shared her thoughts while replying to a DWTS tribute to De Laurentiis and Bersten that the show posted on Threads.

Inaba wrote in the comments, “I was sad I didnt have a chance to say more on air. So I’ll leave it here: Watching Giada dance as a true and absolute beginner was inspiring and I commend her on being so courageous. What I think makes her so incredibly special is the grounded honesty she expressed while going through this journey while also expressing pure glee and joy in the process of learning something new. It’s wonderfully freeing to step out of your comfort zone but only becuase it’s also absolutely terrifying. Bravo ❤️”

With 14 duos performing during week two, Inaba and her fellow judges, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli, faced a new one-word rule to save time, which enraged many viewers. After each performance, two judges were allowed to give their feedback in a couple of sentences, but the third judge had to sum up their thoughts in just one word.

After De Laurentiis and Bersten’s salsa to Bella Ciao by Becky G, Tonioli and Hough were able to give some constructive feedback, but Inaba was the last and chose “shaky” as her one-word critique. The duo, known as Team Aldente, scored low marks, earning 12 out of 30 points, and viewers’ votes weren’t enough to save them from elimination.

Many fans responded to Inaba’s Threads comment, with the majority still upset about the one-word rule, urging producers to shorten host Julianne Hough‘s interview questions with each duo in order to give each judge enough time for thoughtful feedback.

One replied to Inaba’s comment, “More judges notes and less interviews questions!!! This needed to be said performance night.”

But other viewers expressed disappointment in Inaba’s word of choice, including one who wrote, “You could have chosen any other word than shaky. You come off so awful with the female contestants. A positive word would have been much better when only given one word to say. I knew she would be the one to go home this week before anyone even danced but this seemed heartless in the moment Carrie Ann.”

Someone else replied, “Good point, maybe she should have said, “Courageous.” I know that shaky, would have made me cry. Giada was trying.”

De Laurentiis has taken her elimination from the show in stride, posting a video to Instagram on September 23, telling her fans, “I just wanted to take a second and thank everybody for all their support through this journey on Dancing With the Stars, and all the moms that shared their stories. It was really, really, really inspiring. And, you know, I’m honored to represent women in their 50s trying something new. Try something that scares you because, honestly, guys, it is a rush! It is a rush.”

Dancing with the Stars season 35 airs live Tuesday nights on ABC and Disney+, with Yacht Rock Night coming up on September 29 at 8 p.m. Eastern.

Back to the Beginning is an emotional farewell but it’s also a testament to the triumph of the human spirit to overcome obstacles.

The first trailer for the concert film documenting Ozzy Osbourne‘s historic final performance has arrived, and it is equal parts powerful and heartbreaking. The film captures the July 2025 show at Villa Park stadium in Birmingham, England – Ozzy’s hometown – which took place just 17 days before his death. It was, by every measure, an impossible night that happened anyway.

Ozzy had to perform while seated on a throne, his body ravaged by years of serious health struggles. And yet he was there. “He was told he probably wouldn’t make it through the show,” Sharon Osbourne says in voiceover in the trailer. “He said, ‘No, I’m doing it. Whatever happens happens.'”

The trailer’s most quietly devastating moment comes when the Birmingham crowd sings his own song, “Mama, I’m Comin’ Home,” back to him – a city saying goodbye to one of its most beloved sons, who is visibly moved by every word.

The concert itself was a who’s who of hard rock royalty, featuring performances by Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Pantera, Anthrax, Halestorm, and Yungblud, alongside a solo Ozzy set and a long-awaited Black Sabbath reunion. Sharon has said the event came together for one simple reason: “He wanted to say goodbye and thank you.”

Directed by Ben Wainwright-Pearce – whose credits include Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour – the film arrives in theaters October 28 in Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround sound, bringing the full stadium experience to the big screen.

For anyone who has loved The Prince of Darkness’s music, this is not just a concert film. It’s a final, parting gift.

There is no denying that there is pressure to avoid aging in Hollywood. However, fans are concerned after Dr. Phil’s wife, Robin, looked unrecognizable in her latest Instagram photos.

Her new look has even prompted plastic surgeons to weigh in, including RHOC star Dr. Jen Armstrong.

“This is really sad. It’s actually hard to review because it’s so sad,” she shares in a TikTok video about Robin, before sharing the procedures she believes the 73-year-old underwent, including an upper bleph, rhinoplasty, and significant facial filler.

“All this volume that people do, thinking their anti-aging is actually aging them more,” she added. “It’s makes me sad. I would love to help her.”

Fans are also saddened by Robin’s decision to not age gracefully. “There’s no way that’s the same person,” one person commented before another added, “I saw her years ago when I was an audience member at the show. She was stunning in person. So sad. I wished we could all age gracefully.”

A third chimed in, “Body dysmorphia is so sad tbh. It’s so hard to understand that someone can look in the mirror and think they still need more work done.”

Previously, Robin did open up about her cosmetic procedures, admitting to an eyebrow transplant in 2020.

“It brought my entire face into proportion,” she said on her podcast I’ve Got a Secret! with Robin McGraw. “And in my opinion, it actually changed my look.”

She continued, “Because of you and my eyebrow transplant, I let my bangs grow out, and I was so happy.”

Robin also revealed her secrets to “eternal youth,” which included drinking water, exercising, and skincare.

“Do everything you can to pamper and protect your skin. Cleanse, scrub, serum, feed, nourish, protect, hydrate, infuse… every chance you get, just focus on nourishing your face, your hands, your entire body,” she told Haute Living. “I promise you, it makes a difference.”
