Long-haul travel to Asia has slowly been shedding its friction, but one major U.S. metro area still lacks a key nonstop connection. For years, travelers heading across the Pacific from the East Coast have had to factor in layovers, tight connections or awkward routes that added hours to an already lengthy journey. That's finally starting to change, and it could reshape how Americans think about visiting one of Asia's most dynamic capitals.

Later this year, a new nonstop route will link the Washington, D.C., area directly to Taipei, making the trip significantly more straightforward for both leisure and business travelers. The service will operate four times per week between Dulles International Airport and Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, marking the first time a single flight connects the two capitals. The route launches in July aboard a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, offering a mix of business class, premium economy and economy seating designed for long-haul comfort.

Why This Route Is a Big Deal for Travelers

This new service arrives at a moment when interest in Asian travel is surging again. Taipei, in particular, has been trending as travelers look beyond the usual gateway cities and seek destinations that feel vibrant, approachable and rewarding without being overwhelming. The addition of a nonstop flight removes a major barrier, cutting travel time and eliminating the need for connections through West Coast hubs or other Asian cities.

The airline operating the route, EVA Air, is widely regarded as one of the world's top carriers, consistently earning five-star ratings for service, cleanliness and onboard experience. It's also known for its premium economy cabin, which offers more legroom and comfort than many of its competitors, and for thoughtful touches like elevated meal service even in economy. For East Coast travelers, that reputation matters on a flight that clocks in at well over 14 hours.

Beyond convenience, the route signals growing confidence in demand from the U.S. market. Dulles becomes the airline's eighth U.S. destination, joining major hubs like New York, Chicago, Seattle and Los Angeles.

What Makes Taipei Worth the Trip

Taipei has quietly built a reputation as one of Asia's most well-rounded cities. It's exceptionally safe, easy to navigate and refreshingly affordable compared to other major capitals. The city's night markets are legendary, serving everything from bubble tea to pepper buns and oyster omelets, while its restaurant scene spans humble street stalls to Michelin-starred dining.

What truly sets Taipei apart is how seamlessly urban life blends with nature. Hikes like Elephant Mountain are minutes from downtown and offer sweeping skyline views, while Yangmingshan National Park provides lush trails and hot springs just outside the city. Cultural landmarks like Longshan Temple, historic Di Hua Street and the National Palace Museum add depth to any itinerary, and popular day trips to Jiufen or Yehliu Geopark are easy to plan.

With a new nonstop flight in place, visiting Taipei is no longer a logistical challenge—it's an open invitation.

The Flaming Lips have some exciting news for their fans.

The alternative rock band revealed on Friday via Instagram that they have added more concert and festival dates to their world tour taking place this spring and summer. In addition to the 12 shows scheduled around the United States and Europe, which were originally announced back in December, the new tour poster includes additional concerts and performances on May 7 in Houston's White Oak Music Hall, June 25 in Athens, Nottingham on July 19 and Glasgow on July 27.

"Peace & Punk Rock in 2026. ☮️," the band wrote in their caption. "Ticket links at official site. 🛸."

Formed in Oklahoma City in 1983, The Flaming Lips started out playing garage punk before branching into more psychedelic and experimental rock territory. Before signing with Warner Brothers Records and releasing their most popular album, Death in the Future Head, in 1992, they recorded several albums and EPs under the indie label Restless in the 1980s and 1990s. Their hit single "She Don't Use Jelly" broke the rock band into the mainstream. In 1999, they released The Soft Bulletin, which received positive reviews from critics and fans, followed by their 2002 hit album, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots.

For more than 40 years, the band has released 16 studio albums, with their most recent being American Head in 2020. Its current members include Wayne Coyne, Derek Brown, Matt Duckworth Kirksey, Tommy McKenzie and Adam Judd "AJ" Slaughter.

Wayne Coyne of The Flaming Lips performs on the MEO stage during day 1 of MEO Kalorama festival on June 19, 2025 in Lisbon, Portugal.

The Flaming Lips will be starting their string of concerts on March 28 at the Rendezvous Festival in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, and closing their tour on July 27 at Kelvingrove Bandstand in Glasgow. The band will also be making stops at various venues and festivals, including Outside Days in Denver, Vienna, Milan's Parco Della Musica and more.

Fans can purchase tickets to The Flaming Lips' upcoming shows on their official website.

To know me is to know my passion for all things pink. I don't care what the Plastics say in Mean Girls, we don't just wear pink on Wednesdays, we wear it every day. And Valentine's Day? Well, that's just putting the color on blast and celebrating it the way it should be honored 365 days a year. So when Aldi pulls in pink household items for the Aldi Finds aisle, I feel seen.

And, yes, Aldi actually embraces the color pink a lot. Last summer, they were selling pink and purple trash cans that actually made my heart flutter (which admittedly is kinda weird because it was a trash can). This week, the grocery chain is delivering pink energy in the form of tiered storage bins.

Aldi's Kirkton House 3-Pack of Woven Storage Boxes comes in either rose or baby blue and features a lovely basket-weave texture—almost a cottagecore feel, if you will. Each box is lidded, so they're perfect for stacking to create a vertical storage moment that doesn't take up too much surface area.

The medium- and large-sized baskets have handle cutouts on each side, but the small basket has a single handle cutout on the top of its lid.

Realistically, the smallest basket is ideal for corralling smaller odds and ends. Think TV remotes, chargers and cords, keys and sunglasses—that sort of thing. In a bathroom, it works well for skincare backups, makeup or travel-size toiletries.

Now the medium-sized bin obviously gives you a few more options. It can handle rolled hand towels, hair tools or cleaning supplies.

As for the large bin, it can tackle bigger clutter that you'd still like to keep accessible, like magazines, paperwork, craft supplies, kids' toys or pantry items like snacks and tea boxes.

Aldi has been absolutely killing it lately with its lineup of organizers and storage options. There's a rolling cart that can help keep your DIY or office supplies sorted. And a stylish collapsible bin that you can tuck away when not in use. Plus, Aldi's bamboo ladder is another great vertical storage option for giving throw blankets and other linens a tidy home.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy star Kerrice Brooks wasn't all that interested in the Star Trek franchise while growing up.

During a February 2026 interview onThe Kelly Clarkson Show, alongside fellow Star Trek: Starfleet Academy stars Holly Hunter, George Hawkins, and Sandro Rosta, Brooks said that she "tried not to" watch Star Trek. The Prom star explained that she "was trying to be like one of those punk rock kids."

"If my family liked it, then I wasn't gonna like it. So it took me a long time to watch [Star Trek]. Like, genuinely, it took me a long time to watch that," said Brooks during the interview.

In addition, Brooks, who plays a hologram SAM (Series Acclimation Mil), said she initially wasn't sure if she'd "see [herself] represented on the screen" when watching a Star Trek show or film.

"And then when I saw Sonequa [Martin-Green]in the Toni Braxton wig," continued Brooks, seemingly referencing her appreciation for Martin-Green's character, Michael Burnham, in Star Trek: Discovery.

Kerrice Brooks Shared Which Past 'Star Trek' Characters Inspired SAM

During the Kelly Clarkson Show interview, Brooks shared some information about her character on Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, which premiered in January 2026.

"She is a hologram, she's the first of her kind. She's at this school. She's essentially created to kind of like be a spy for our home world, to let them know if it's safe or not, and then report back to my people and say, 'Stay away from him. He has allergies,'" quipped Brooks during the interview.

While speaking to Comic Book Resources in January 2026, Brooks shared which past Star Trek characters inspired her portrayal of SAM. Brooks said that the Emergency Medical Hologram, known as The Doctor, played by Robert Picardo, in Star Trek: Voyager and Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, was a source of inspiration. In addition, Brooks "drew from" the characters Seven of Nine, played byJeri Ryan, the younger version of Jake Sisko, played by Cirroc Lofton in Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, and the famed Vulcan, Surak.

A beloved super couple appears poised to return to Salem next week on Days of Our Lives.

The official Days of Our Lives YouTube channel a new weekly promo teasing what’s ahead on the Peacock soap for the week of January 9 – 13 2026.

At the Horton House Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) delivers surprising news to his grandmother Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes), revealing that he, his wife Lani (Sal Stowers), and their twins are preparing to move back to Salem.

Fans have long speculated about what might bring Eli and Lani back to Salem. As Parade previously reported, Stowers and Archey were spotted on set in recent months, and their participation in behind-the-scenes content on the official Days of Our Lives social media has since fueled expectations that a return was only a matter of time.

The new promo now confirms that the fan-favorite couple is indeed heading back to Salem, though questions remain about how long their stay will last.

Eli and Lani were last seen together during the holiday season when they returned for the show’s 60th anniversary celebration. During The Dr. Tom Horton Free Clinic Gala, the couples revealed plans to expand their family before later reuniting with loved ones at Christmas.

Stowers first joined Days of Our Lives in 2015 as Lani Price. Initially believed to be the daughter of veteran character Abe Carver (James Reynolds) and Tamara Price (Marilyn McCoo), Lani later learned that her biological parents were actually Tamara’s sister Paulina Price (Jackée Harry) and T.R. Coates (William Christian).

Archey joined the series in 2017 as Eli Grant, the grandson of Julie Williams (Susan Seaforth Hayes). Over time, Eli and Lani emerged as one of the show’s most popular couples, and ultimately became the first black couple to have an on-screen wedding on Days of Our Lives, in 2020.

Stowers and Archey exited the soap full time in 2022, but have continued to return for guest appearances in the years since.

Days of Our Lives streams weekdays on Peacock.

The Olympics are a breeding ground for scandal. Whatever miniscule advantage an athlete can get over their competitors, they’ll take -- sometimes even if it’s illegal. The Olympic Winter Games Milano Cortina 2026 are no different. 

They’re calling it Penisgate, and it’s by far the very last controversy we ever thought would dominate headlines. But here we are. 

Apparently, Bild, a German tabloid, claimed back in January that some male ski jumpers might be injecting hyaluronic acid into their genital areas to fly further at the Olympics, because in this instance, yes, size actually does matter. 

According to NBC 4 Los Angeles, increased bulk results in a bigger ski suit, which then affects the aerodynamics and a ski jumper’s glide time in the air. “A larger suit means extra fabric to catch air like a sail and prolong a ski jumper’s flight,” the outlet explained. 

But don’t take only their word for it. There have been studies done on this stuff. In one such paper, done by the scientific journal Frontiers, researchers found that 2 centimeters of added “bulk” could add up to 6 meters to the length of a jump. That could mean the difference between silver and gold.

Due to the speculation, officials have been forced to respond.

“This wild rumor started off a few weeks ago from pure hearsay,” FIS spokesman Bruno Sassi told The Associated Press, per ESPN. “There has never been any indication, let alone evidence, that any competitor has ever made use of a hyaluronic acid injection to attempt to gain a competitive advantage.”

The news comes as ski jumping is working through another cheating scandal. Last year, Norwegian team leaders were caught on camera manipulating ski suits at the World Championship in Trondheim, Norway. The coaches were banned from the sport for 18 months, while their ski jumpers accepted three-month suspensions. Both jumpers are competing this year in the Winter Games.

In the wake of that scandal, ski jumpers are now required to be measured via 3D body scanners while wearing “elastic, body-tight underwear.” According to ESPN, there are also microchips in their suits designed to prevent any inch gaining.

Hyaluronic acid, a legal substance commonly used in cosmetic and medical treatments, is not banned by anti-doping rules and is said to increase, or plump, the circumference of the genitals when injected. 

Asked about the Bild claims in at a press conference at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics, WADA director general Olivier Niggli said, “I am not aware of the details of ski jumping, and how that could improve performance.” He said this while holding back some chuckles.

Writers for Friday Night Lights weren't wrong: America loves a good QB1 story. Unlike other positions on the field, like running backs and wide receivers, the role of quarterback can be played by only one person at a time, allowing that player's star power to rise (see Bart Starr, Joe Montana and Tom Brady).

Even before Brady retired (again) in 2023, Patrick Mahomes of the Kansas City Chiefs was emerging as the NFL's "next big QB1." In 2020, the former first-round draft pick out of Texas Tech made history when he became the youngest Black quarterback to win Super Bowl MVP after the Chiefs downed the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LIV.

With the Chiefs losing against the Philadelphia Eagles in last year's Super Bowl, now is a good time for a refresher on Mahomes' track record. How many Super Bowls has he played in? How many Super Bowls has he won?We didn't punt on any of the questions. Here's everything you need to know.

How Many Super Bowls Has Patrick Mahomes Played In?

Patrick Mahomes has played in five Super Bowls, his most recent being Super Bowl LIX in February 2025. Each of Mahomes' Super Bowl appearances has been with the Kansas City Chiefs, who drafted him out of Texas Tech with the 10th overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. 

Mahomes has led the Chiefs to three Super Bowl titles (Super Bowl LIV in 2020 vs. the San Francisco 49ers, Super Bowl LVII in 2023 vs. the Philadelphia Eagles and Super Bowl LVIII in 2024 again vs. the 49ers), winning Super Bowl MVP all three times. Mahomes was also named the 2022 NFL MVP, making him the first NFL quarterback to take home NFL and Super Bowl MVP Awards in the same season since 2000, when Kurt Warner achieved the same feat. 

And how's this for rarified air? Mahomes also earned the NFL MVP Award during the 2018 season. Only two other quarterbacks have won more than one Super Bowl and NFL MVP Award during their careers: Tom Brady and Joe Montana.

Mahomes and Brady squared off once in the Big Game when Mahomes led the Chiefs to their second-straight appearance in 2020 (Super Bowl LV). Brady, then a QB for the Tampa Bay Bucs, got the better of Mahomes. The Bucs won 31-9.

How Many Super Bowl Rings Has Patrick Mahomes Won?

Mahomes has won three Super Bowl championships.

In 2020, Mahomes led the Kansas City Chiefs to their first Super Bowl win since 1969 when he threw for 286 yards and ran the ball in for a touchdown in a 31-20 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Subsequently, Mahomes collected the Super Bowl MVP. At 24 years and 138 days, he was the youngest Black quarterback to earn the honor and third overall, joining Russell Wilson (Seattle, Super Bowl XLVIII) and Doug Williams (Washington, Super Bowl XXII).

Mahomes and the Chiefs had the chance to defend their title in 2021, the Super Bowl for the pandemic-effected 2020 season, in which Mahomes won NFL MVP. Mahomes finished with 270 passing yards and threw two picks as Brady and the Tampa Bay Bucs routed the Chiefs 31-9. It marked the seventh and final Super Bowl win for Brady.

In 2023, Mahomes led the Chiefs to their third Super Bowl appearance in four years and reclaimed the coveted Lombardi Trophy in a 38-35 win. It wasn't easy. The Chiefs found themselves down 24-14 to the Eagles. Mahomes threw three touchdowns, hitting Jalen Hurtseach time. He and Hurts also connected for a two-point conversion, and Harrison Butker kicked the game-winning field goal. Mahomes collected his second Super Bowl MVP.

In 2024, Mahomes and the Chiefs won their third Super Bowl, beating the San Francisco 49ers again in a 25-22 OT win. Mahomes threw for 333 yards while going for 34-of-46 passing, with two touchdown passes and an interception. He earned his third Super Bowl MVP. Butker's crucial 57-yard field goal in the third quarter marked the longest FG in Super Bowl history (previously set just one quarter earlier by 49ers kicker Jake Moody at 55 yards).

Mahomes and the Chiefs returned to the Super Bowl in 2025 with a chance to make NFL history by winning three consecutive titles. But the Eagles got revenge on the Chiefs in a dominating win. The final 40-22 score is deceiving—Philly led 34-0 during the third quarter, and Kansas City scored two touchdowns in garbage time, which prevented the loss from being a top-10 blowout in Super Bowl history. In the first half, Mahomes went 6-of-14 for 33 yards (a first-half career low) with two interceptions. He finished the game 21-of-32 for 257 yards, throwing 3 touchdowns.

Fan-favorite sports commentator Kay Adams is taking Super Bowl LX week by storm with her NFL coverage on her Up & Adams Show before the big game. Though her biggest focus is on sports and the players, things turned personal during a Feb. 6 interview with Martha Stewart, who gave her some surprising relationship advice.

"I heard you say you don't you don't need a man," Adams said during the chat, after the 84-year-old said she's enamored with actor Tom Hardy. "I don't I don't actually need a man," Stewart insisted. "But but men are nice."

That's when Stewart turned her attention to Adam's much-talked-about love life. "Are you married?" she asked the beautiful 39-year-old. "No," Adams responded curtly. When asked why not, she elaborated, "I'm kind of like you, [Martha]. Like, oh, whatever."

While Stewart never remarried after her 1987 separation and subsequent divorce from her husband Andrew Stewart, she insisted Adams needs to find a life partner. "You're too young not to want to be married," she said. "You better get married."

https://www.youtube.com/live/ZqacmRZc6nA?si=nzYMNsp7i5iSVD4n&t=793

When a surprised Adams asked why, Stewart answered, "I just think every woman should experience marriage and you should experience having a child. You have to have a child."

"I have to?" asked Adams before requesting Stewart's advice for finding Mr. Right. "You're you're surrounded. Look at this place, like 99% men," said the cookbook author. "There's somebody out there for you!"

Does Kay Adams Have a Boyfriend?

Though Adams teased that "Nobody really gets [her] attention," she has opened up recently about being ready to settle down. While many fans have speculated about whether or not she has a boyfriend and who it might be, it sounds like she really hasn't had time for dating at all. In November 2025, she opened up about her changing attitude toward relationships on the Bussin’ With The Boys podcast.

“I think I haven’t known what I’ve wanted," she admitted to hosts Will Compton and Taylor Lewan, adding, "I think I’m always in survival mode of what’s next, how am I gonna survive and advance, that’s a life thing... The truth is, I have realized that I have very little experience dating."

But now, she's "very happy with where" she is in life. "I’m settled, I’m a little more calm, like I feel a little more able to be there for someone else," she said.

So, what is she looking for in a future husband? "There’s nothing better than banter, and I have that with so few people," she said. "I would say the loyalty. I need to feel secure. I need somebody who makes me feel secure. So loyalty is more important than anything. And I’m a very loyal person."

Adams has kept mum on past romances, but in 2024, she clapped back at speculation she was dating Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones after jokingly calling him her "boyfriend" to New York Giants offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor on Up & Adams.

“I’m not dating Daniel Jones — breaking, breaking news — I’ve met him all of two times, wish him the best, I’m pretty sure he has a girlfriend,” she said on the 25/10 Show.

Tanya Tucker is mourning the loss of her friend and assistant Teresa “T” Martin.

“Saying goodbye is the hardest thing to do!” the country music singer, 67, wrote via Instagram on Friday, February 6. “T Martin was my assistant for years. She and her husband Glen (great songwriter) and stepson Boy Troy have been many miles on the bus and across the water in Europe!”

Tucker went on to praise her friend, listing some of her best qualities and emphasizing how much their relationship meant to her.

“She was a warrior and one of the hardest workers I’ve known. She was one of my very best friends,” she continued. “Whatever she did for me, she did with love and a kind soft voice. I treasure the years we had together.”

Tucker then admitted that she wished she had been present for Martin’s funeral on Friday.

“My only regret is I wasn’t there this morning when she got her wings,” she concluded. “Goodbye my friend. I’ll see you again!”

According to an online obituary, Martin “passed away peacefully” on January 22. She was 78.

“In the music industry, Teresa and her husband were co-owners of Co-Heart Music Group, located on Music Row. Affectionately known to many as ‘Momma T’ she was also widely respected for her work as road manager for country music icon Tanya Tucker,” the obituary read. “Whether managing a business or life on the road, ‘T’ was a steady force behind the scenes; fiercely protective, deeply loyal and unwavering in her commitment. Her nickname was earned through the care, guidance and strength she extended to those she considered family, both professionally and personally.”

Amid her unspecified illness, Martin was “cared for with great love by three devoted caregivers” and Alive Hospice, who “provided her comfort and companionship during this difficult journey.”

“Teresa will be remembered for her resilience, her larger-than-life personality and the profound impact she had across many chapters of her life,” the obituary stated. “Her zest for life was evident in everything she did and she embraced each moment with enthusiasm and determination.”

Martin’s funeral was held in Nashville, Tennessee, on Friday followed by a graveside burial service.

Martin was preceded in death by her husband, her brother and her parents. She is survived by her daughter, seven stepchildren, two siblings, two grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

Tickets for beloved 1990s guitarist Tom Morello's 2026 tour are officially on sale. The announcement came Friday morning via Instagram, and fans are thrilled.

Morello announced his 2026 North American tour on Tuesday. The tour is set to travel to eight U.S. cities, commencing on May 8 in Daytona Beach, Florida. He will be headlining the May 9, May 10, May 12, May 13 and May 15 shows. The May 8, May 16 and May 24 shows are festival dates.

He cites his childhood experiences and Harvard education for influencing his strong beliefs and activism.

The Tom Morello Legacy

Morello began his music career in the 1980s, playing in various groups until forming Rage Against the Machine in 1991. He served as guitarist alongside vocalist Zack de la Rocha, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk. Between 1992 and 2000, Rage Against the Machine released four studio albums, garnering global recognition and mainstream success for their unique rap-metal blend and politically progressive lyrics.

In 2001, Morello co-founded Audioslave, releasing three full-length albums and selling over eight million records with the popular rock supergroup before their breakup in 2007. In 2003, Morello began working on his solo project, The Nightwatchman—his folk-rock alter ego—where he also found success and critical acclaim.

Throughout Morello's career, he has earned numerous prestigious accolades, including two Grammy Awards for Best Metal Performance with Rage Against the Machine and 10 total nominations. Morello was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2023 and is ranked No. 18 on Rolling Stone's list of greatest guitarists of all time.

Brad Arnold, the founder and lead singer of 3 Doors Down, has died following a brave and heroic battle with kidney cancer. He was 47. 

The heartbreaking news was shared by the band’s members, who revealed Arnold passed away on Saturday, Feb. 7, while at home, surrounded by loved ones, including his wife, Jennifer Arnold. 

“With heavy hearts, we share the news that Brad Arnold, founder, lead singer, and songwriter of 3 Doors Down, passed away,” the statement on Instagram begins. “As a founding member, vocalist, and original drummer of 3 Doors Down, Brad helped redefine mainstream rock music, blending post-grunge accessibility with emotionally direct songwriting and lyrical themes that resonated with everyday listeners.”

In honor of their fallen frontman, the lengthy message went on to highlight Arnold’s strength as not only a singer, performer, and musician, but also as a songwriter. 

“Brad’s songwriting became a cultural touchstone for a generation, producing some of the most enduring hits of the 2000s, including the band’s breakout hit, ‘Kryptonite,’ which he wrote in his math class when he was just 15 years old. His music reverberated far beyond the stage, creating moments of connection, joy, faith, and shared experiences that will live on long after the stages he performed on.”

The band also reflected on Arnold’s love for his wife, as well as his personality offstage. 

“Above all, he was a devoted husband to Jennifer, and his kindness, humor, and generosity touched everyone fortunate enough to know him,” they wrote. “Those closest to him will remember not only his talent, but his warmth, humility, faith, and deep love for his family and friends. The family is deeply grateful for the outpouring of love and support during this difficult time and kindly asks that their privacy be respected.”

I dare anyone to challenge me on the greatest Super Bowl snack of all time: buffalo chicken dip. It's creamy, it's chunky, it's slightly spicy—or atomic, depending on how hot you like your buffalo sauce—and impossible to stop eating. Served with your dipper of choice (tortilla scoops for me, thanks), it's a warm, cozy dip that's always the star of the game-day buffet spread.

My chef-husband, Luke, knows I'm buffalo chicken obsessed. Buff chix tendies are my love language, but I will take my saucy poultry favorite any way I can get it: in a wrap, on a salad, on a flatbread... the list goes on and on. So when he asked what variation of buffalo chicken we should make for the Super Bowl this year, my heart skipped a beat when he said, "What about buffalo quesadillas?" YES! I screamed, already in love with the idea.

Quesadillas have become our go-to solution for leftovers lately. If you have cheese and tortillas on hand, you can literally fill them with any other meat and veggies, fold 'em up and dig in.

Were buffalo chicken dip quesadillas the Super Bowl touchdown I’d been missing my entire life? I was 1,000% convinced before Luke even got to work on them, but here's his start-to-finish process that takes all of 20 minutes, so you won't miss a second of the big game.

Ingredients Needed for Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas

He might be a chef, but when Luke is short on time and stressed about being stuck in the kitchen once the game starts, he does what any home cook would do and leans into shortcuts. Time savers that don't skimp on flavor are key to planning a delicious, doable Super Bowl menu.

Rather than make his own buffalo chicken strips (battering, frying, saucing, etc.), he opted for Wegmans Buffalo-Style Smoked Chicken Thighs. They're boneless, which made shredding a cinch, and they're smoked over hickory wood for a fire-kissed vibe and flavor.

After the chicken, he also grabbed a wedge of nice blue cheese (Point Reyes ftw!), a pack of extra-large burrito tortillas, a bottle of buffalo sauce, sour cream, a few celery stalks, scallions and a bunch of fresh cilantro. Easy-peasy. Oh, and avocado oil spray, for getting that golden brown quesadilla sear just right.

How to Make Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas

Now comes the fun part: Making the dip. Reaching for the largest bowl we have, Luke gets to work shredding the buffalo chicken. Because it was just the two of us, he used about half of the one-pound package, but if you're making this for a crowd, use the whole thing.

Once the shredded chicken was set, he crumbled in about 1/2 cup of blue cheese. Now, a note from Luke on blue cheese. Although you can save even more time buying blue cheese crumbles, he would never. "Pre-crumbled cheese usually has additives in it to preserve the shelf life. And why bother when crumbling your own takes all of two seconds?" he tells me. Buying a wedge of blue cheese means you can get the good stuff and that the texture will be better, too.

After the cheese, it's time for sour cream and ranch. About 1 cup and a 1/4 cup for those, respectively, but really, you can eyeball it.

After that, it's time for the star of the show: the buffalo sauce. Luke pours in a few hefty glugs, then gives everything a good stir with a spatula, making sure everything is evenly mixed.

Now it's time to assemble. Luke takes a tortilla and spreads a thick layer on one half of the tortilla, being careful to avoid going too close to the edges. You want the quesadillas to be fully stuffed, but you don't want the filling to squeeze out of the sides.

Next, he folds the other half of the tortilla on top of the chicken mixture and presses down so everything is nice and compact. He repeats that with two more tortillas while he heats up a skillet over medium-high.

Giving the hot pan an ample spray of avocado oil, he places two crescent moons inside for about 2-3 minutes until they're golden brown on one side, then he flips each to crisp up on the other side.

Once the quesadillas are golden brown on the outside and warm and melty inside, he transfers them to a cutting board and slices them into neat triangles. He arranges them in an artful pile on a platter and roughly tears the celery leaves off the top of the stalks to use as garnish.

"Chef-husband secret move," he winks, sprinkling sliced scallions and cilantro leaves across the celery. "Garnish salad for the quesadillas."

And with that final step, they were ready.

My Honest Thoughts About My Chef-Husband's Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas

Best snack ever? I think I devoured two wedges in seconds and went back for a third a minute later. Not only is buffalo chicken dip the greatest mashup for quesadillas, but you don’t even have to bother reaching for a chip or a hunk of bread to scoop up the cheesy chicken—because all the work is done for you in these easy-to-hold, toasty triangles.

Buffalo sauce and blue cheese are the ultimate pairing to me—and I love extra blue cheese on the side. So the only part of this recipe I questioned was the ranch. You could easily swap that for blue cheese if it’s more your jam (like mine). And serve extra on the side.

Appalled, Luke looked at me in shock when I went to pour a little sidecar of ranch.

“The sauce is already baked in,” he lamented. “You don’t need that.”

“What about a little herby green goddess for good measure?” I persisted.

“No. Perfect as is.”

And after a few more bites—being extra careful to load each one with the celery leaf–scallion garnish he had generously sprinkled over the platter—I had to agree.

Super Bowl or regular Tuesday, sports or not, these ’dillas are going into regular rotation from now on.

4 Chef-Husband Tips for Making Buffalo Chicken Quesadillas1. Say no to cold sour cream

Taking the sour cream out of the fridge and letting it sit on the counter for a few minutes helps it soften a bit, which will make it much easier to mix into the dip. If there's any liquid in the container when you open it, just stir it in so the sour cream is smooth.

2. Buy a bold buffalo sauce

The sauce is a key ingredient here, so be sure to pick up one you love. One of Luke's personal favorites is Jake's Grillin' Buffalo Wing Sauce, which you can find on Amazon (or you might be able to pick up a bottle at Wegmans, as we did). Crafted from cayenne pepper, freshly ground coffee beans, a splash of honey, garlic, onion and spices, it's hot sauce leveled all the way up—but it's not so insanely spicy that your mouth will be on fire.

3. Get fresh with the garnish

Quesadillas are often served with a creamy dipping sauce, but because that's baked into the recipe here, a little freshness is in order. Celery leaves (from the celery stalks you might have in the house already for your Super Bowl snacking) make a tasty, pretty and delicious garnish. Luke adds in fresh cilantro leaves and some sliced green onions for a mini salad topper. It adds a bright flavor to the dish and is an easy way to dress up this simple snack. You've gotta love an easy chef-husband upgrade!

4. Keep the avocado oil spray close

You’re going to need to add a bit of high-heat oil (Luke likes avocado oil) every time you flip, so make sure it's close by when you start cooking. A spray version makes things even easier—Luke's go-to is La Tourangelle.

Super Bowl 60 airs on Sunday, February 8, with Green Day kicking off the festivities and Bad Bunny performing the halftime show.

Meet Celimar Rivera Cosme, the Puerto Rican sign language performer making history alongside Bad Bunnyat the Super Bowl LX halftime show.

Rivera Cosme is a Puerto Rican Deaf performer and sign language interpreter who will bring a groundbreaking element of accessibility and cultural representation to the Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime performance. In a first for the event, the halftime show will feature a multilingual signing program that includes Puerto Rican Sign Language (LSPR)—distinct from American Sign Language in grammar, rhythm, and cultural nuance—and Rivera Cosme is leading it.

"In a historic first, the signed rendition of the Apple Music Halftime Show will feature a multilingual signing program incorporating Puerto Rican Sign Language, led by Deaf Puerto Rican performer Celimar Rivera Cosme," an NFL release confirmed.

Rivera Cosme isn't just interpreting the lyrics, however; she's performing them. She has described her approach as more than literal translation.

"Interpretation is one thing, but I'm not going there to interpret; I'm going to perform," she told ABC News. "In Puerto Rico, we're very used to seeing interpreters everywhere. But the Super Bowl is different. You have to add your flow, your vibe, your style, and your attitude, and bring all of that together with the interpretation. The body's movement is different." 

Rivera Cosme incorporates storytelling, rhythm, and expressive movement to reflect the music's energy and emotional depth, blending interpretation with performative artistry. Her overall style mirrors the intensity of Bad Bunny's reggaeton and Latin music, making the signing itself part of the artistic experience.

Her journey with Bad Bunny began years ago, when she interpreted for him on major tours like his 2022 World's Hottest Tour and his El Choli residency in Puerto Rico. It was there that her work gained wide recognition among Deaf and hearing audiences alike.

Rivera Cosme has spoken openly about the pride and responsibility she feels representing the Puerto Rican Deaf community on one of the world's biggest entertainment stages. She hopes her presence not only makes the performance accessible to Deaf fans but also brings broader visibility to LSPR culture.

"I feel incredibly proud because everything that Bad Bunny is doing is making history," Rivera Cosme told ABC News. "And it means that sign language is also going to make history there. The most important thing is to emphasize that we have our own language, our own identity, and our own culture."

She added that she not only wants to make history with this performance herself, but that she wants to lift her community up alongside her.

"I will be doing the performance, but what I'm truly bringing with me is the Deaf community of Puerto Rico and our language, LSPR," she wrote in an Instagram post, kissing the Puerto Rican flag. "All of us will shine."

Bloating is more than just an uncomfortable feeling; it can be truly disruptive to one’s daily life, even leading to skipping out on activities you love. (Ever try doing yoga when it feels like you have a balloon in your belly? Not fun.)

“Bloating is that tight, ‘puffy,’ gassy feeling in the belly. For some people, it comes and goes. For others, it happens most days,” saysDr. Jason Korenblit, MD, a gastroenterologist with JustAnswer. While bloating can be extremely uncomfortable, Dr. Korenblit notes that the good news is that, except for very rare occasions, it’s not dangerous.

There are many possible causes for bloating. Dr. Korenblit says that swallowing air (which can happen if you’re talking fast, chewing gum, drinking a carbonated drink or drinking through a straw), constipation, food intolerance (such as lactose intolerance), hormonal changes (he notes that many women feel bloated before or during their period), food fermentation (which can occur after eating foods that are hard to digest) and stress can all cause bloating.

If bloating is something you’re experiencing on a regular basis, it’s a good idea to see a gastroenterologist so you can work together to pinpoint the root causes. If you are trying to treat your bloating on your own, there’s one popular fix that gastroenterologists warn against. Keep reading to find out what it is and to see what you should do instead.

The Common Mistake People Make When Treating Bloating

If you’re dealing with bloating regularly, you may think the best way to get to the bottom of it is to cut out a food group that you suspect is the cause. “A lot of people try cutting out whole food groups one at a time to ‘test’ what’s causing their bloating,” Dr. Korenblit tells Parade. But it’s best to avoid doing this if you aren’t receiving guidance from a healthcare professional.

“I always counsel my patients not to cut out major food categories without speaking with a registered dietitian,” says Dr. Trisha Pasricha, MD, MPH, a gastroenterologist, assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and author of You’ve Been Pooping All Wrong. Without guidance, Dr. Pasricha adds that it can be difficult to get all the nutrients the body needs when an entire food group has been cut out.

Dr. Pasricha explains that while, sometimes, a gastroenterologist may recommend a more limited diet as a way to pinpoint what’s causing bloating, it’s not meant to be a long-term solution.

That said, there are times when cutting out certain specific types of ingredients may be helpful. Dr. Paul Feuerstadt, MD, FACG, AGAF, a gastroenterologist, member of the board of directors at the Peggy Lillis Foundation and an associate clinical professor at Yale School of Medicine, says that removing artificial sweeteners or high-fructose content from one’s diet is a great starting point for treating mild bloating.

According to Dr. Feuerstadt, it can also be helpful to remove one food (or ingredient) at a time, but warns against removing more than one at a time. “If you remove multiple things at once, then you can’t pinpoint what did or did not help."

The takeaway here is that while removing one specific ingredient or food at a time may be helpful, it’s important to avoid cutting entire food categories without the guidance of a doctor or dietitian.

What To Do Instead

If the bloating you’re experiencing is a one-off and not something that happens regularly, Dr. Feuerstadt recommends taking an over-the-counter medication, such as GAS-X or Beano. “These [medications] can break up a gas bubble into smaller bubbles that are easier for your system to absorb. This also makes you more comfortable since the gas is not in one segment of your bowel and stretching it, causing discomfort,” he says, adding that this is a short-term solution.

Some other in-the-moment bloating solutions that can help, according to Dr. Korenblit, include going for a short walk, drinking ginger tea and avoiding carbonated beverages.

If you are experiencing bloating regularly, schedule an appointment with a gastroenterologist. Prior to your appointment, Dr. Korenblit recommends keeping a food diary. “Track when bloating happens, what you ate, your bowel habits, sleep and stress levels,” he says. This can be a helpful tool to share with your gastroenterologist during your appointment. 

Dr. Pasricha emphasizes that you shouldn’t feel self-conscious or embarrassed about talking about bloating with your doctor. “People brush it off as ‘just bloating,’ but it can genuinely affect your quality of life–your clothing choices, your body image, your willingness to go out and enjoy meals with the people you love. You deserve to get help,” she says. 

With some guidance from a trained doctor, you’ll be so glad you did.

Lindt is bringing back a beloved seasonal Lindor Truffle flavor and this year, it'll be even easier to find.

While some fans wait patiently for the brand's gold-foil-wrapped bunnies to begin lining store shelves and signaling the close arrival of spring, others are banking on the return of a once extremely limited truffle flavor. If you guessed Blood Orange, you'd be wrong (thankfully, that flavor isn't seasonal; it's still incredibly hard to come by, but so worth the search, if you ask us).

The Easter-exclusive product in question is Lindt Lindor Carrot Cake Truffles, which may sound like an unusual flavor, but last year it had fans squealing, "take my money."

Lindt Lindor Easter Carrot Cake Truffles Land at Even More Retailers This Year

The confection, clearly inspired by the star of the season, was previously exclusive to Target stores—not this year, though.

According to an official statement shared with Parade on Thursday, Feb. 5, the Lindor Carrot Cake Truffles will be available at most major retailers nationwide soon. Some fans have already spotted them in stores, and they couldn't be more excited (despite the fact that we haven't even made it through Valentine's Day yet).

Lindt Lindor Carrot Cake Truffle returns

L

"LIMITED EDITION Lindor CARROT CAKE! 🥕🍰🐇," one eagle-eyed fan wrote alongside an image they took of the returning favorite on shelves at a Walmart store in Canada. "The Easter Bunny is coming!"

"WHERE DO WE FIND THESE?" a second exclaimed before a third chimed in, saying they "need this right now."

"My fav cake," someone else shared.

"If you see these you must get them," a fourth said, tagging a friend.

One more begged the release to go overseas, gushing that they "neeeed this in the uk!!"

For those who may be new to the flavor, the beloved seasonal variety features Lindt's "irresistibly smooth" signature white chocolate truffle shell that's been stuffed with a spice-filled chocolate carrot cake creme. 

From what Parade understands, the carrot-cake-flavored chocolate truffles will be available across the U.S. and, apparently, in Canada, wherever other Lindt favorites are sold (CVS, Target, Walgreens, Walmart, and more) for a limited time this season (prices vary).

Other seasonal offers shoppers will find on shelves this spring include Lindt's original gold foil wrapped chocolate bunnies and two fun new twists on the classic (bite-sized versions filled with either a creamy milk chocolate or "a luxurious hazelnut and crisp filling"). The brand is also launching an all-new Dubai Style Chocolate Egg, which fans expect to be nothing short of "amazing."

Gavin Adcock may not be on the bill for Turning Point USA’s All-American Super Bowl Half-Time Show, but he is throwing his support behind the event and its headliners, which includeKid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, Gabby Barrett, and Lee Brice.

During an interview on Friday, Feb. 6, Adcock, 27, was asked about his thoughts on the planned spectacle, which will serve as a secondary choice to those who won’t be catching Bad Bunny’s upcoming NFL Halftime performance at Super Bowl LX. 

“I support whatever they want to do,” Adcock told Fox News Digital, making his approval for the secondary option loud and clear. 

The Country Star Will Be Attending Super Bowl LX

He also kept his stance neutral, sharing that while he does support the rival entertainment, he plans to attend the NFL matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots on Sunday, Feb. 8. 

He Has Never Been to a Super Bowl Before

“I’m gonna be at the game. I’m gonna watch the other Super Bowl halftime,” he shared before, adding, “But I love Kid Rock, Brantley Gilbert, all those people. So, everybody's gonna have a good time, wherever they’re at.” 

This will be Adcock’s first time attending a Super Bowl, and he shared his enthusiasm for the big game as well as the team he favors to win. 

“This is my first Super Bowl I’m ever going to, and I’m blessed to get some hot dog tickets, and I hope the Seahawks beat the Patriots a**,” he said. 

He Believes Sports and Entertainment Go Hand in Hand

While Adcock doesn’t object to a secondary halftime show during NFL programming, he says that the blending of live entertainment with sports resonates personally, reflecting how he was raised.

“I think it’s awesome!” he exclaimed. “I was an athlete until 2021, and then I dove headfirst into music. A lot of people in music come from athletic backgrounds—that’s where they learn the discipline and drive that help them climb.”

Adcock was available to chat about the subject while appearing on the blue carpet for the EA Sports Presents Madden Bowl, which took place at the Chase Center in San Francisco and included Zach Bryan, Teddy Swims, Stephen Wilson Jr., and LaRussell.   

“I’ve never played in California too much,” Adcock said. “I’ve had one tour over here. I’m just spreading my music to a bunch of people that maybe never heard it before and having a few drinks, having a good time, and watching the Super Bowl.” 

Those wishing to catch TPUSA’s All-American Super Bowl Half-Time Show can stream the performances on the brand’s official YouTube page, X, and Rumble Channels. It is also available on partner platforms, including Daily Wire+, Real America's Voice, TBN, CHARGE!, and OAN News. The show broadcasts on Feb. 8 — the same day as Super Bowl LX. 

Meanwhile, the 2026 Super Bowl takes place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif., with kickoff beginning at 6:30 ET. The game will air on NBC with streaming available on Peacock, DirecTV Stream, Sling TV, YouTube TV, and Hulu + Live TV. Bad Bunny will serve as the halftime entertainment.

The search for Nancy Guthrie is on day seven and her whereabouts are still unknown.

On Saturday, Feb. 7, Parade spoke to retired NYPD sergeant Joe Giacalone who worked for the department for more than 20 years. With reports that the FBI is now taking the lead in the case, Giacalone helped break down some of the most asked questions we've been seeing on social media.

For starters, Parade asked Giacalone about the aforementioned shift in the investigation. He explained that if the FBI has in fact taken over the case, it could mean one of two things. It could mean that there is evidence that whoever has Nancy "has crossed state lines," or it could mean that there's evidence that Nancy is "no longer with us"—or both.

Authorities believe that Guthrie may have been abducted from her home in Arizona in the middle of the night on Sunday, Feb. 1. Within a couple of days, an unverified ransom note was sent to a variety of media outlets, including TMZ.

Giacalone says that this set off "red flags from the beginning." He explained that there's obviously only one person in the Guthrie family that could pay millions of dollars (in bitcoin or otherwise) and that's Nancy's daughter, Today anchor Savannah Guthrie. So, Parade asked Giacalone why someone would go to the media with a ransom request and not directly to the family.

"By not going directly to her and directly to the family is is odd in so many ways. You know, choosing TMZ, they knew exactly what they were going to do with it, right? They knew it was going to get plastered everywhere. So, you know, if somebody who is aware of the power of social media and what TMZ does...," Giacalone says.

As for whether or not these ransom notes could be a red herring, Giacalone acknowledges that anything is possible at this point in time.

"Investigators are going to take these serious no matter what. And they have the capability of being able to investigate this as a potential, viable situation, or they can also rule it out as a potential hoax. We've already got one person found out and arrested," Giacalone says, referencing the arrest of Derrick Callella, who admitted to sending a phony ransom request to the Guthrie family, unrelated to the note sent to media stations.

Parade also spoke with Giacalone about the current timeline and just how crucial things get as we head into one week without any proof that Nancy is alive.

"It's really the first hour, we refer to it as the golden hour," Giacalone says. "That's the most important thing that first hour [when someone is reported missing]."

In today's world, Giacalone points out, many cases are solved by help of "video surveillance, cell phone records, and internet records." Giacalone believes that's where the focus is now—seeing what evidence comes by way of cameras in the neighborhood or even at nearby businesses.

Based on what's transpired over the past 24 hours, Giacalone believes that the case will be solved "in the next 24 to 48 hours" if he had to guess.

When asked if Giacalone thinks Nancy will be found, he was confident in his reply. "They will find her," he says.

For more updates from Giacalone, you can follow him on X. You can also tune in to his podcast, True Crime With the Sarge.
