Kelsey Grammeris satisfied with the way Donald Trump is handling his second term in office, even if others don't feel the same way.

During a recent appearance on The Megyn Kelly Show, the 70-year-old actor doubled-down on his support for the president, who he previously labeled as "one of the best" presidents the U.S. has ever seen.

In his conversation with Kelly, which dropped on Thursday, Feb. 5, Grammer specifically praised how often Trump speaks with the press and appears in the media, even if some people may find it "annoying."

"I think he's doing really well. It's annoying to a lot of people," the Frasier alum stated. "I think he's doing a wonderful job."

"It's not popular sometimes, but the man speaks his mind and you know where he stands," he continued, before declaring, "I've never seen a more transparent presidency in my life."

For Grammer, he can't understand why some folks aren't pleased with the way Trump is doing things, particularly when it comes to his communication with the press.

"I mean, he talks every day to the press," Grammer said. "Some people don't like it. I don't know why they don't like it."

"Because we spent years hearing from the previous guy two or three times," he said of former president Joe Biden, while stating, "It was a belligerence that seemed to come from a very weak position."

Also during his conversation with Kelly, Grammer confirmed that his outward support of Trump has "probably cost him some jobs," and at least one friend. He confirmed that the friend he was referring to was not Bryan Cranston, despite Kelly's claim that the Breaking Bad alum is "abandoning everybody who is right of center."

Noting that he has "heard that" about Cranston, Grammer insisted, "I like to live where I can live...I would not actually be able to tolerate living on that side of the line. So, it's okay."

In the more than two years since Travis Kelce started dating Taylor Swift, he's gained one very important skill: knowing to ask follow-up questions! During a special visit to his sister-in-law Kylie Kelce's Not Gonna Lie podcast on Feb. 6, the 36-year-old admitted his ability to gather information (for his fiancée's benefit) has greatly improved.

While Kylie, 33, and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end were reminiscing about when they first met, the podcast host asked whether her own NFL pro husband, Jason Kelce, ever told Travis about her.

"Nothing. No. Me and Jason, we never talk about any of that stuff," he admitted. Kylie wasn't surprised, saying, "Jason is notorious for that. I'll find something out from someone else and I'll say, 'Hey, did you know that this happened?' And he will say, 'Yeah.'" Kylie admitted that when she tries to dig for details, his attitude is, "I don't know and I don't care to know."

"I call them girl questions," Kylie joked. "'Cause they're only questions girls would ask."

"Taylor's made me so much better at that," Travis shared. "You get the details."

On Feb. 5, Travis attended the 2026 NFL Honors as he was up for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. Taylor "couldn't go," but he made sure to keep her in mind: first by hanging out in the DJ booth at an after party while Taylor's "The Fate of Ophelia" played, and by doing his best to remember details from the night to share.

"The whole time I'm saying hi to all these familiar faces and some friends of Taylor... and I'm just like, 'All right, got to remember saw that person,'" he said. "I'm like throwing them in like my memory bank [thinking] 'Don't forget, cause she's going to want some details 'cause she didn't get a chance to go.'"

"And and then the beers just make a lot of the details go away," he joked. "You're just like, 'This is how I never remember the details.'"

Swift and Kelce’s romance became one of Hollywood's most talked-about love stories after they began dating in the summer of 2023, with Swift making her first appearance at a Chiefs game in September of that year.

After nearly two years together, including Kelce joining Swift onstage during her Eras Tour and multiple viral moments, the couple shared their engagement news on Instagram on Aug. 26, 2025, following a private proposal roughly two weeks earlier.

Alice Cooper celebrated his 78thbirthday with two fellow rock superstars. The legendary singer rang in his special day on Feb. 4 with an outdoor celebration in Hawaii that included his rock and roll pals Sammy Hagar and Mick Fleetwood. Cooper’s longtime manager, Shep Gordon, was also part of the festivities.

In a video posted to TikTok and Instagram, a mustached and Hawaiian shirt-wearing Cooper hovered over a birthday cake decorated with green icing, a golf ball, and mini golf course flags. Fleetwood, 78, and Hagar, 78, were seen in the shot as the guests began to sing “Happy Birthday” to the rock legend at a table that had wine glasses and cans of ginger ale on it.

“Pick a key,” Cooper joked as the singers continued. After the song was done, Cooper asked if there was a “trick candle" in the cake, before blowing it out.

Hagar captioned the clip with, “Happy birthday @alicecooper i'm so glad the fire department stepped in about the amount of candles on the cake said it was a fire hazard. 🔥 #funnight always a pleasure hanging with @mickfleetwoodofficial & @supermenschshep on Island.”

 Fans reacted to the star-studded celebration in the comment section

“Happy birthday legend❤️surrounded by legends!” one fan wrote.

“Wow! What a room. Rock & Roll legends! 😮😮😮,” added another.

“What a great gathering, I feel so blessed to have been born in the era of classic rock and all of these originals, different music, original personalities, and long-lasting songs. Happy birthday, Mr. Cooper,” another chimed in.

Cooper has been sober for more than 40 years, so it appears he skipped a traditional birthday toast. In 2025, he told People magazine he quit alcohol completely because he was unable to stop at one drink. "I have absolutely no desire to ever put alcohol in my mouth again, or any drug," he said.

The rocker's love for golf is also well known. Cooper has even said that golf saved his life. “I traded one bad habit for another habit, only this habit (golf) was a lot healthier,” he once told Billboard in an interview. “Golf ended up being a good trade-off.”

The golf-themed 78th birthday bash isn’t the first time Cooper has hung out with Hagar and Fleetwood. In April 2025, he was photographed with the Gordon, Hagar, and Fleetwood, as well as Aerosmith frontman Steve Tyler, after they all had dinner together in Maui.

Julia Duffy was a beloved blonde during her time on Newhart, but she's even more stunning at 74.

The acclaimed actress, 74, was known for her role as Stephanie Vanderkellen on Newhart, which starred comedy titan Bob Newhart as an author and innkeeper in a bucolic Vermont town. Duffy’s character was a spoiled cousin who tried to survive as the inn’s maid, despite feeling a bit too high-and-mighty for the job. She starred in the role from 1983 until 1990, when the hit series ended its run.

After the show concluded, Duffy headed to Designing Women to play Allison Sugarbaker, and eventually landed on the popular kids' network Nickelodeon to appear on the series Drake & Josh. Also boasting an acclaimed theater actress, fans are thrilled to see Duffy back on TV screens with a role as Mary Jones Davidsoul on Palm Royale, the popular Apple TV series that follows the drama of '60s high society in Palm Beach, Florida, starring Kristen Wiig, Leslie Bibb, Josh Lucas, and comedy icon Carol Burnett. But Duffy also has another exciting TV role on deck: She appears in the Peacock black comedy series The 'Burbs, an adaptation of the 1989 film of the same name. Duffy hit the red carpet this week and dazzled the crowds with her stunning smile.

In a 2024 podcast appearance, Duffy spoke about how aging in Hollywood is “very awkward.”

During an appearance on Steve Kmetko’s podcast, Still Here Hollywood, Kmetko asked Duffy if aging in Hollywood had affected her.

“I’ll tell you something that drives me up a wall, because it’s symbolic of all of it,” Duffy said. “I have read for and actually played the role of a woman who’s older, that they have named Myrna — that takes place present day.”

PEOPLE pointed out that the role was for an appearance on Melissa & Joey in 2010.

“Now, I know what people were named who are my age, now. We were Patty and Kathy and Susie. These women that they write in older roles could have been at Woodstock,” said Duffy. “If you’re having them be 70 today in 2024.”

“You have to write the person and not the type. And it is very disappointing to me how much even younger writers seem to be writing Aunt Bee or something when they write an older person and not an individual,” Duffy continued. “I hope they’re listening and I know you have the talent to do it. Make that a real person.”

Quad Webb is feeling blessed. The reality TV legend is currently enjoying Season 12 of Married to Medicine, Bravo’s hit series that follows the personal and professional lives of a close-knit group of doctors and doctors' wives in Atlanta.

More popular than ever, the show shows no signs of stopping anytime soon, thanks to thrilling storylines, powerful episodes and standout talent like mainstay Webb. In an exclusive Parade interview, she spills on Season 12, her recent viral moment with Real Housewives of Potomacstar Gizelle Bryant on Watch What Happens Live and teases what fans can expect over the next several episodes.

Bravo

“I just feel so blessed,” Webb tells Parade. “It's just great to see how over the years and over the seasons, we are gaining more fans and people are tuning in to us. You're hearing more about the show and you know how much people are invested in us. It's a true blessing.”

She continues, “Back in 2013 when we aired, I had no idea that even right now—to this day— that I would still be sitting here and talking to you all. There's still so much that has yet to be seen with the ladies of Married to Medicine.”

Webb's got a point. It's one of the longest-running shows on the network, thanks to its solid cast, which has barely changed over the years. Toya Bush-Harris, Dr. Jackie Walters and Dr. Simone Whitmore have been on the show since its first season, while Dr. Heavenly Kimes joined the cast in Season 2. These ladies show it all on the series, letting viewers into the most intimate aspects of their lives—including Webb's current IVF journey.

“First and foremost, it takes a lot of bravery to come forward globally,” she says, when asked about her decision to share something so personal in front of the cameras. “The overwhelming support that I have received, it just makes me want to continue, to share my journey and to know that what I'm doing is not in vain.”

Her IVF journey continues throughout Season 12 and it's resonating deeply with viewers. “Knowing and understanding that there is no flaw here, that it is not up to you, but it's up to God in his timing and in the alignment," she shares. "And I think when you understand that, it makes it a lot easier to be able to receive whatever the outcome may be.”

Webb does not take her platform lightly. She knows that sharing her journey will genuinely will help others. “When you see the platform that you do have, you want to be able to utilize that to be a storyteller, to help someone else, to change the trajectory of what someone else may be thinking or their life," she explains.

"I think that makes it all worthwhile because reality TV is tough, you know?" she continues. "Reality TV can be mentally taxing, emotionally taxing. But it's great that in the midst of all of this, there's still a lesson that needs to be learned, and people can sit back and say, 'You know what? I can relate to her.'"

While Webb’s personal journey is a main storyline of the season, the show is not without its signature drama, as Webb continues to reestablish her place within the group (fans may remember Webb was on an island all by herself just two years ago.) While she is on much sturdier ground this time around, she still clashes with Dr. Simone and others from time to time.

“The same thing that makes me want to move forward with her is the same thing that hurts me so deeply when I feel that she has crossed a line," Webb says of her relationship with Dr. Simone.

"I truly do love Simone," she continues. "Us coming back together—that's a love pulling us back together, and when I'm upset with her and I'm mad, it's the love that's making me mad. I'm like, ‘How can we have this type of love between us? How can you love me, but then you do and say certain things that hurt me?’ I think maybe she would say the same thing."

As for her renewed place within this friend group, Webb explains she is relieved to be past the darker drama of years’ past. “I was always defending and fighting and anyone would get tired of it," she says. "Like, I have so much more inside of me and what I give and what I bring to the room, you know? Listen, I love to have a great time. When I'm around, you're going to feel a light that's there because it's me surely pouring into you.”

Webb has also gained a reputation as being one of the best “shade assassins” in the Bravo-verse, often appearing on The Reading Room, a popular BravoCon segment dedicated to the shadiest Bravolebrities. On a recent episode of WWHL, Webb found herself going viral when she lightly shaded Gizelle Bryant, confronting her after the RHOP star made some shady comments about Married to Medicine on her “Reasonably Shady” podcast with Robyn Dixon. 

“There's no beef at all,” Webb tells us. “I've always liked Gizelle … I did not realize how many people kind of feel indifferent about her, because I've always liked her. Even when I spoke with her on Watch What Happens Live … I happened to see the podcast where they said Married to Medicine was recycling the girls and all the things, I was like, 'Oh, okay, well, this is what I'm a part of, so we're going to talk about that.'"

As for the rest of the season, Webb urges fans to continue to tune in, revealing that the episodes just get "better and better." She teases, "It just continues to heat up. It's on fire. It's on fire. It is a really good season."

Season 12 of Married to Medicine airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT  on Bravo, with episodes streaming next day on Peacock.

A fan favorite HGTV star shared an emotional tribute to a beloved family member after a difficult loss. Drew Scott took to Instagram on February 5 to reveal that his mother-in-law had died.

"My heart is broken. We have lost one of the most beautiful, kind and selfless people this plan has ever seen," Scott wrote.

He continued, "Linda's mom is truly one of a kind and was taken from us far too soon."

Scott thanked his mother-in-law, Habu, for "bringing so much light to our lives." He also noted her "infectious" laugh and wrote that he would always remember the nights the family spent playing her favorite game.

He included the name of the game in the caption of his post. He used Chinese lettering to reference the game, which appears to be a card game.

The HGTV star is married to Linda Phan, and they have two children together. The couple wed in 2018 and welcomed a son, Parker, in 2022 and a daughter, Piper, in 2024.

Scott's Instagram post received a flood of support from colleagues and HGTV fans in response to his touching Instagram post.

His twin brother and fellow HGTV star, Jonathan Scott, commented, "What a loving soul through and through. May we always remember and feel the love she shared."

Egypt Sherrodadded, "Oh no I am so very sorry for your loss. Please give Linda my love."

Jasmine Roth wrote, "So sorry to hear this. Sending love to your family."

Dave Marrs shared, "I'm so very sorry for your family's loss. My heart goes out to you all."

A fan commented, "I am so truly sorry for Linda and your family's loss. Habu seems like she was such a wonderful and beautiful soul."

On Facebook, someone else shared, "I'm so sorry for your loss. To lose a parent is one of the hardest things...It is the memories that buoy us and keep us moving forward. Talking about them, their traits, goofy stories, their faults, their successes and failures. They all keep them a bit present with us."

T.I. is revisiting the story of how he persuaded Creed frontman Scott Stapp from jumping off a hotel balcony that happened over 10 years ago. The rapper retold details of how he stopped the singer's attempted suicide.

In a new episode ofStill 400 — The Mannie & Juvie Show, the 41-year-old rapper retold the story after being asked about a Rolling Stone report that he saved another man in 2010. T.I. backtracked to when he stopped Creed's Stapp from jumping off his hotel balcony after a chaotic night.

He recalled checking into a Miami hotel with a friend and his wife, Tiny, in 2005. While stepping onto the balcony for a smoke, T.I. began hearing strange grumbling noises. At first, he assumed it was his friend's stomach, but as the sound grew louder, he started looking around to figure out where it was coming from.

"So this particular balcony, half of it was covered. And then the other half, you could walk to the rail and look over. So I walk out to the rail and look up. And it's a man, a white man. And he's like mumbling, talking to himself, groaning. And he couldn't move. He was trying to move, but couldn't move," T.I. explained.

The rapper asked the person if they were alright, and then learned he was trying to get from one room to another "because he say his girl was in there cheating on him with his buddy." T.I. speculated that the man had fallen and "wanted to go on and keep jumping" when he decided he needed some help.

"We just kept talking to him, telling him that it wasn't that bad," T.I. said. "The people had done got up there, got him down. And then I think it might have been the next Monday, I found out that that was a dude from Creed, the rock band. He always goes on interviews, telling people that I saved him. I didn't save him. He made the decision to save his own."

TI shares his side of the story on how he stopped Scott Stapp, the lead singer of the rock band "Creed," from committing su*cide while in Miami.

While T.I. says he's not a hero and only did what was right, Stapp has recalled the incident differently in the past. In 2012, he said the suicide attempt took place a year prior while they both worked on The Passion of The Christ: Songs Inspired By soundtrack.

Stapp recalls being at the hotel and "lying on the ledge" when blood fell onto T.I.'s feet from his room down to the rapper's. T.I. then went on to get help for the Creed singer. In 2018, Stapp changed the details again, claiming the rapper found the singer injured after an "accident" and called an ambulance.

If you or someone you know is contemplating suicide or struggling with suicidal thoughts, help is available 24 hours a day through the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.

Known for her perfect vocals, Karen Carpenter once worried her voice was too “husky” on two Carpenters hits.

In a 2022 interview with Goldmine Magazine, her brother, Richard Carpenter, revealed that his sister wasn't happy with her vocals on two songs on the band's 1969 debut LP, Offering. Offering was eventually repackaged and re-released in 1970 with a new cover and title, Ticket to Ride, after their Beatles' cover of the same name.

When asked which song he would love to sing one more time with his sister, the songwriter shared a surprising revelation. He said the duo had considered re-recording two tracks from their debut album.

"There are two that, had she lived, we were going to redo because she was only 19 when we did our first album, and I was 22. In the next two to three years that followed, our voices changed in that they weren’t as husky as they were originally," he explained.

"That’s why she wanted to redo the lead on 'Merry Christmas, Darling' and 'Ticket to Ride,' the remix from ’73, because she wasn’t all that wild about how husky her voice was. So there were two that happened to be Bettis/Carpenter songs, and one that she wanted to redo."

He revealed, "One of them was 'Eve' and that’s a cut on the first album. Actually, the other one was also on the first album, which is called 'Someday.' She mentioned it several times. She wanted to redo them, and I wanted to redo them as well."

Carpenter added that if he had the opportunity to spend more time with his sister, he would heap praise on her for her vocal abilities. They would also record one last song together.

"Well, I would once again let her know just how damn great a singer she was," Carpenter admitted. "One of the songs I would do with her would be 'But Beautiful.' It’s from one of the Bing Crosby road pictures and went on to be a standard."

Karen Carpenter died on February 4, 1983. She was 32.

During a Feb. 5 appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, Kaley Cuoco was asked by a fan to weigh in on the drama surrounding Ashley Tisdale French and her "toxic" mom group. Given that Cuoco has her own tight-knit friend group, fans were curious to hear her thoughts on the buzz surrounding the celebrities involved.

As she shook her head and closed her eyes, Cuoco shared, "I mean, if you don’t like being part of a group, just leave, baby," prompting Cohen to reply, "Right?"

“I don’t think we have to talk about it,” Cuoco added, to which Cohen shared, "Like, write an essay about it.”

“You don’t have to do that,” Cuoco then said. “Just leave … find a new group.” 

Earlier this year, Tisdale wrote an essay for The Cut, in which she revealed that she had left what she described as a "toxic" mom group after believing other moms were excluding her from group hangouts and social plans.

“Here I was sitting alone one night after getting my daughter to bed, thinking, Maybe I’m not cool enough? All of a sudden, I was in high school again, feeling totally lost as to what I was doing ‘wrong’ to be left out,” she wrote.

Tisdale went on to share that though she did not find "the moms to be bad people," except for one, she believed that the group was no longer "healthy and positive."

"I’m far from the only mother who’s been brought to tears by members of a group that’s supposed to lift everyone up," she shared. Tisdale also urged readers not to speculate about which individuals made up the mom group, though that didn't stop online chatter.

According to People, celebrities rumored to be part of her former mom group include Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, and Meghan Trainor.

Meanwhile, Cuoco has her own celebrated mom group that includes Lacey Chabert, Ali Fedotowsky, and Kimberly J. Brown. In fact,Us Weekly reported that following Tisdale's essay, a member of Cuoco's mom group named Ashley Jones shared photos of her close-knit group on Instagram and wrote, "Mom groups are having a real moment on the interweb this week. Shoutout to my village, without whom I could be very lost and lonely. Tag your supportive ride or die mom group!"

Predicting anything Q Burdette will say about his approach to Survivor 50 would be, for lack of a better term, a big mistake. One of the biggest characters of the new era, the 31-year-old is aiming to initially bring the calm to quell his chaotic perception. But while everyone thinks he's sitting on his hands, they're actually hard at work building a "Q Wagon." And Q already has a plan of who will be in his wagon party on this 26-day Oregon Trail trip, and it involves getting rid of anyone who has sat at a final Tribal Council before. With that river hopefully forged, he'll have a few tools in his arsenal, including a new way of playing with idols, to make sure Q skirts another blindside on the way to victory.

Read on for my interview with Q, and check in with Parade daily for interviews with this season's contestants and other tidbits. Survivor 50 premieres on Feb. 25 with a three-hour episode on CBS.

So it's been an eventful couple of years for you, Q, to say the least. What has life been like for you between 46 and 50?
So last two years I've had a baby, a baby boy. I've always wanted to be a dad. So my son, Ace, had to leave him. He sleeps with me every single night. Emily gets to sleep alone downstairs peacefully, while Ace is wrestling with me at night upstairs. But it's been difficult these first couple of days just being away from them. But I signed up for this. This is what I wanted. And the way 46 ended, my story couldn't stop there.

Did you always feel like you were going to come back once 46 ended?
When 46 ended, I didn't think about, "Oh, I'll play again. They'll want me back." But you don't know how it's going to air. But immediately, I'm talking about the second the game was over, all of my castmates were like, "If anybody is going back from our season, it's gonna be you, Q." I was just like, "Nah, I don't think so." But then I watched the season, and I'm like, "Well, dang, maybe they're right! Maybe this thing is a gift, and I will go back." 

And then when I got the call for 50, it's just like getting the call to say, "You know what? You don't have to play the rest of the season. You're automatically in the Super Bowl." Just think about what that would feel like for a team. They can start to prepare, start to get excited about something. And to be a part of this, the biggest season yet, Season 50: In the Hands of the Fans, it doesn't get any better than this.

Let's get into your approach for your second season. Because I think a lot of people largely regard your game as, "Q was chaotic. He caused mayhem." Is that a perception you're going to try to steer into?
So my first, I would say, however many days it takes, is going to be Q sitting on his hands a little bit. Trying to repair what they think is broken within myself, of being chaotic. Because 46, I was in control from Day 1 up until Day 17. And what I realized is you cannot win the game in 17 days, but you can sure damn lose it. 

This season, I want to elevate other folks' game. I want to be their support and be positive. Show them that they can count on me, and hopefully, they just forget this guy can cause a volcano erupt right here on this island, if he chooses. And if I can make it past the first eight or nine days without my name coming up at all, and I can continue that trend and make it to around Day 17, Day 18 to 26 is mine. They can forget about it. That's when I'm gonna come out of my shell and start making the moves that I need to make. 

So I have to kind of prove myself to these players who've never played with me that, "Hey, the edit made me seem so chaotic. I'm actually a joy to be around." The moments that you saw, Hide and Seek and Applebee's and all that? That's me every day! I have to put that on display from Day 1, and it's already started, really. The way that I eat, the way that I approach — and I do this at home anyways. But I take my plate to the folks who bring it to me, and I say thank you. And I'm holding doors open, and I'm letting ladies eat first. And so I'm automatically now just trying to repair some of the "what ifs" about Q, and they just think of me as a good man.

So then, do you have a second version of some of those Q quirks? Are you gonna play Freeze Tag this time? Did you bring a whole Q wardrobe out here?
Let me just say this. I'm gonna still have fun, but the first couple of days, I have to dumb it down. Now I don't wake up and just say, "I want to do this today." It has to be a day where I'm bored and my mind is turning. So this season, we might not play hide and seek, because they're hip to it. We might play "Red Light, Green Light." We might play Freeze Tag. We might play something else. I just take our minds away from the game, but it's gameplay for me, and it's fun for me that everybody else can join in on. 

And as far as more additions to the Q skirt, yeah, you never know. I gotta build me a Q Wagon first. I gotta build me a wagon of folks who will drag me along in this game. But what they don't know is they're building it with my tools. I own the wagon. So at any point in time, I could come in just take over the wagon and pull them along. That's what I want.

Considering how you went out of the game last time, are you taking a different approach to idols and advantages?
Mike, I didn't go out because I had an idol and I didn't play an idol. I simply went out because I had one day's rest. I had one day of guard letdown. I had one day of "Q, be as small as you can be, so you can just make it to five and play your idol and make it to four." And so I stopped playing for just a moment, just to be there, just to be settled. I should have caused so much ruckus with my idol, it's ridiculous. I should have walked around my neck, and I should have told them, "I'm playing it tonight. If you vote for me, good luck." Because that would have spooked the death out of Charlie and Kenzie and Liz, who were terrified of going home. I didn't care if I went home or not. 

So I should have used it differently. I should have played with my idol. I wasn't going to play it regardless, but I should have played it up as if I was, or at least let them know that I had in this potential, and maybe I could have made it through the game. So I regret just being so relaxed that day. 

Typically, what I'm doing is, if two people go off and walk and talk, I'm looking and I'm paying attention. That day, everybody went off and walked and talked. I'm sitting around kumbaya, not being Q, not paying attention, not listening. At Tribal Council. I'm just trying not to say the wrong thing, to bring the target back on me. I should have been "Crazy Q" that day. And I went home because it had nothing to do with the idol and me not playing. A lot of folks said, "Well, you should have played it." I wouldn't have played it regardless. But I would have played it differently with my approach to how I used it, looking back.

You wouldn't have played it, but you would have played with it.
Correct.

Well, let's talk about some possible members of the Q Wagon here. We're gonna play a game called "Friend or Foe." I'm going to give you a name of someone on the cast, and you have to tell me if they're someone you want to work with, or someone you see as an enemy or threat. 
Before we play this game, should I tell you my strategy going into this game? 

Please!
So my strategy is, if people have ever made it to the end, regardless if they've won or got second or third place, whatever. If you've pleaded your case to the jury, I don't want you at the end of the game. So I'm targeting all of those players, but I have to use some of those players.

There are more of them than there are folks who haven't sat at the end. So I have to use some of them in order to make some of the moves against the others. Until we can get the numbers to where it's more of us than them, and then hopefully I can convince the rest of the folks in the game to say, "You know what? It's actually smart, three new contestants who never had an opportunity to plead their case at the end. Wouldn't it be great?" So keep that in mind when we do "Friend or Foe," for some of these folks, I'm gonna say Friend to. But when I explain them, they're really going to be friendly foes.

Let's start with Jenna.
Jenna, Friend. Because I don't think Jenna has that many connections with this cast as some of the others in the old school. But Jenna just seems as if she's just so down to earth, cool, loyal. I saw what she did for Rob and [Amber], and they did her wrong. I won't take you out when it comes down to the end. So Jenna, for me, Friend.

Colby.
Foe. I don't think Colby would want to take me all the way to the end and actually play against me. So for that reason, Foe. 

Stephenie.
Foe. She is someone who I think has connections. But I also think Stephenie is going to do her own dirty work for herself. And, she's going to rub people the wrong way. That's what she did the last time she's played. And that's kind of what I hear online people talking, so I don't want to align myself with somebody who's gonna put targets on their back.

Cirie.
Friend until…she's not a Foe. But I just can't take her.

She's one of those people who never made it to a Final Tribal Council!
Right. So she's gonna be a Friend, but I cannot sit next to her in the Final Three. I mean, just come on. It's certain people that, if they make it, it doesn't matter the game that I played or they played. It's almost like legendary status. For a legendary season, you're gonna vote for a legend like Cirie. So she's gonna be a Friend up until the moment where I just have to say, "Thank you so much for being such a great friend. But I gotta let you go."

How about Ozzy?
Friend. Because I honestly think that I can take Ozzy to the end and beat him, as long as he plays his typical game. He can win some challenges, but just be the other Ozzy, the one that don't have much of a social game, the one that's kind of standoffish. I can beat that person at the end. 

Coach.
Foe, but he's gonna be presented as a Friend. I need Coach to make some moves. I need his influence. I need his loyalty that they say he has. But eventually, I'm gonna cut him off.

How about Aubry, considering everything that happened around you targeting Moriah for naming her as her favorite player?
I want to bring Aubry in as a Friend, because maybe folks would think we would have foolish energy. But she's gonna have to be a Foe, because I don't know if she's thinking the same thing. So mentally, for me, I would have to get rid of her.

Chrissy.
Foe. She's made it to the end; she's had a chance to win it. And I think she's one of those players who's somewhat in the middle when it comes to seasons played. So she might be somewhat in the middle when it comes to having preexisting relationships with folks, especially some of the ladies. So I don't see me and Chrissy working together at all. Foe. 

Angelina.
Foe. She's just too fake to me. It's just some of the things [she does]. And Angelina eats a lot! I mean, she eats more than anybody, I think, on this cast right now. But I don't think I could trust Angelina. And she's also had her chance at the end!

Christian.
[Pause.] He's gonna be a Frenemy.

Ooh, new category!
I think I need Christian's brain. I think I need some of the connections that Christian might have. I don't think, given the type of game I know he would have to play to make it to the end, that I could beat him. So I'll have to get rid of him before then. 

How about Mike?
Friend, but then a Foe. Because I know Mike White's gonna have a lot of influence against this cast. A lot of folks are auditioning for White Lotus, so they might try to allow this guy just because. I have to be willing to play with them, to a point where he's no longer able to be played with, and I gotta get rid of him. He can't go to the end.

Rick.
Rick Devens is dangerous. He's probably one of the most dangerous players on the beach. He's smart, he's strategic, he's good in challenges. He's just good at these little wackadoodle games — bringing back that word. So it's just one of those things. He scares me because he could go on a winning spree. He can also turn a crowd against you. I don't like it. Anybody who tells the weather for a living, they can speak. They speak well. I don't need that at the end.

Robert Voets/CBS

[Laughs.] Well, let's look at the forecast for your fellow new era players. Starting with Jonathan.
Friend. I think I can beat Jonathan at the end. I think he will be loyal. I think he's gonna play the same game he's always played. I think I can be the brains behind every operation that he has going on, and he can be the muscle. And in this game as of recent, the brains win, not the muscle. So I think I can beat him.

Dee.
Frenemy. Dee's one of those players where I have to keep her around long enough so there's somebody in the game that they want out probably more than me. But again, Dee, she had a chance. She can't sit at the end.

Emily.
Foe. I want nothing to do with Emily. She's dangerous. Emily eats pork, drinks Coke, and writes left-handed. That was a bad combination for me.

[Laughs.] Wait, we need to unpack this. She eats pork, drinks Coke, and writes left-handed. Those are your three strikes.
I mean, come on, eating pork and drinking Coke alone is like you don't care about nothing, you know what I mean? So I know you don't care about me in this game! And then you write left-handed. That's just triple whammy. But then she's just dangerous. You can't read that girl. She plays games for a living. She hasn't stopped playing a Game Boy since we've been here. Anybody who play games that much, you're not gonna play the game with me.

Alright, let's open up the Pandora's Box that is Survivor 46. Give me your thoughts on Charlie.
Foe. I mean, I just can't trust Charlie. 

Are you looking to get some revenge?
It's not even about that. It's more so like, I know Charlie plays the middle, and he plays the middle well. But I know he's talking to multiple folks and going behind your back. So I just can't trust that. In a perfect world, Charlie is not on my tribe ever. Meaning he starts on a different tribe, and they vote him out before we ever come together. That's a perfect world. Will that happen? I don't know. And I guess we're going next with who? Tiff.

We gotta!
[Pause.] Friend. I hope! On my end, Friend. I will take her to the end this time. I will not turn on Tiff this time unless she turns on me first, and then I have to do her in. But I want to play with her. I want me and Tiff to show the world we can do something special. We can start off great. We can fight, then we can come back together, and there we go. That's the ending of our story, I think, is together. So Friend.

What about Genevieve?
Friend. Let me just tell you this, Genevieve will put poison in your coffee and ask you to drink it. I need that on my side. I don't need her bringing me any poison. I need her slitting throats with me, for me. And she's one of those people I'm gonna ride and die about if she says, "You know what, Q, I want to work with you." Because she's someone who I've seen to be loyal. She's not afraid to have the gun pointed at her. She's not gonna bat an eye. She's going to compete, she's going to show up. Those are the traits that you need. And I know this because we was in Milwaukee together. She don't speak well in front of a crowd. I need somebody like that at the end.

Joe.
Frenemy. I gotta befriend Joe. I have to have him trust me. Then I have to get rid of Joe. He's had his shot. I'm sorry, Joe, you're my guy. Fireman, put it out! But I gotta put your fire out, buddy. 

Kamilla.
Kamilla's Friend. I want to work with her. Can you do for me what you did for Kyle, Kamilla? Can you take me all the way down to the end and advocate for me the way you did for him? I would love for you to do that. I'm asking for you do that. So I would consider Kamilla as a friend. Now she's gonna have to get rid of Kyle when I want to. If she don't, she's gonna turn to Foe real quick. I don't like that now. Get rid of Kyle. I'm your new Kyle!

Let's talk about Kyle, then. Does that make him Foe?
He's a Frenemy! So I have to, again, just like Dee, present to him, "I'm no threat to you. I'm not scared to go against winners at the end." And have him do some of my dirty work with some of the votes that I need to have happen. And so I get the numbers to be and then send them home.

Any thoughts on the 49 players?
Foe, foe, foe. Let me just tell you this. This is my theory: One of them won. There's three winners on this cast. Let me just say why. If it's three tribes, they're not gonna just put two winners. It sucks. They're gonna have a winner on every single tribe. Which of them won? I don't know yet. But when the tribes are broken up, I'll find out a lot of information. Let's just say neither one of them won. In my mind, one of them won. So one of them, and both of them, have to go. Foe.

Which previous player do you wish were out here on the island with you right now?
Tyson and [Tony]. I would want Tyson. It would be so funny with him and me on the island with his jokes and his sense of humor. But then Tony with his craziness and my craziness, dude, we would light this place on fire.

They say sometimes when a player returns, they take from the game of the person who won their original season. Obviously, you had a complicated relationship with Kenzie, to say the least. But is there anything you're taking from her 46 game into 50?
There's nothing about Kenzie's game that would ever, ever relate to me. I mean, let's just be honest. If I could watch Season 46 and then go back and vote, I would have voted Charlie. Just watching the season, I'm out of the game now, at this point, who's left, I would have voted Charlie. But not to take it away from Kenzie. She played the game, and at the end, she was the best candidate in my eyes in that moment. But there's nothing about her game. I mean, I'm not capable of having someone tell me what to do. I'm not capable of sitting back and being the nice, charmer, pretty girl that she is. I'm not capable of doing that. So I don't think part of her game. 

But there are some winners, like Tony, for instance, his win on 40, kind of sitting on his hands a bit, waiting for his moment. I gotta take bits and pieces of his game from 40 and implement it. Because coming into this, folks, they're looking at me as the chaotic one, the crazy one, the one that's unpredictable, the one that's gonna cause us the most problems. I cannot give them the satisfaction of thinking that. So I have to be calm and easy. That's what I'm taking. Everything else, I just have to be Q. I have to learn from Q's mistakes, and I have to kind of move forward from them.

Finally, what celebrity or fictional character would you bring out for a Loved Ones visit? Last time, you said Black Panther, specifically because, "I want to drink that juice." Are you picking someone else this time?
I think I want to change my answer. The person I would want to bring out here for my Loved Ones visit would probably have to be Michael Jordan. Drip some of that sauce on me. I got your J's on my feet right now. Come out here, show me how you went to six finals and did not lose Because I'm 0 for 1 right now. I want to be 1 for 2 once I leave this place. So put me on the right track, give me that motivation talk. Tell me what I need to do.

Almost 60 years after The Beatles released their dreamy track "I'm Only Sleeping" from their seventh studio album Revolver, the band has teamed up with art publisher Avant Arte to release an exclusive pair of prints from the iconic 2022 music video created by British filmmaker Em Cooper.

The prints, titled Early in the Morning and In the Middle of a Dream, draw their names from the lyrics of the 1966 hit and bring together a collection of stills from Cooper's award-winning music video, with each print consisting of nine still images. The two prints combined feature all four members of The Beatles from the music video, which was created out of over 1,300 individual, hand-painted oil paintings that were made for the 2022 animation.

Both prints go up for sale on March 4 starting at 2 p.m. U.K. time, and will only be available for purchase for 48 hours. They each retail for $663 (with the option to add a frame for an additional cost) with free worldwide shipping. Those interested can go to Avant Arte's website and register their interest to be notified when the prints are released.

The 2022 music video for "I'm Only Sleeping" was Cooper's artistic interpretation of the original Beatles hit—a song about John Lennon's desire to stay in bed all day, usually while under the influence of psychedelic drugs. The video was an instant hit, and in 2024 it was honored with the Grammy Award for Best Music Video.

"I was inspired by the song itself, because the song has just that continuous rocking motion to the melody," Cooper told the Grammys in an interview. "It was as though it was a synesthetic reaction to the song. It felt almost like it just drew itself out in my mind—the movement all kind of choreographed itself around those moments where it's like [sings lyric in dramatic swoop]  'Yawning,' and then it felt like it goes over the top."

The music video made use of "rotoscoped archival footage" combined "with dreamy sequences that reflect the warm, introspective quality of the song," according to the Instagram post The Beatles' released on Friday announcing the limited edition prints.

A true collectors' item, these exclusive prints celebrate the everlasting artistry of The Beatles' music several decades after the band's heyday, highlighting its influence on the culture even today.

Bianca Censoriis pushing back on one of the biggest assumptions surrounding her headline-making fashion choices.

In a new Vanity Fair profile published Friday, February 6, the 31-year-old addressed the ongoing conversation around her revealing public appearances, making it clear that her style decisions are her own—not something dictated by husbandKanye West.

“I wouldn’t be doing something I didn’t want to do,” Censori said to the outlet. “Me and my husband would work on my outfits together.”

She emphasized that the process is collaborative, not controlling. “It was like a collaboration, it was never ‘I was being told to do something,’” she explained. “If you were married to Gianni Versace, wouldn’t he give you a dress or something?”

The Australian architect also dismissed speculation that her relationship is performative or fame-driven. “I didn’t marry my husband because I wanted some sort of platform,” she said. “I married him because I love him. Is that like the corniest thing ever?”

Still, Censori acknowledged the reality of being in the spotlight through association. “I’m famous by association,” she said, noting how quickly public perception can spiral once an image circulates online. 

Her bold aesthetic has fueled headlines for more than a year, particularly after her appearance at the 2025 Grammys, where she arrived in an oversized coat before revealing a nearly transparent mini dress underneath. West later referred to the look as a custom look design from his Yzy fashion label.

Looking back, Censori doesn’t shy away from her fascination with provocative fashion. She admitted to having “an obvious obsession with nudity,” adding, “I was naked everywhere. I didn’t detach with it at any point. I consistently showed the same imagery over and over and over again.” But, the intention goes beyond shock value. “I live my artwork,” she said, explaining how her wardrobe is her creative identity.

Censori is preparing to debut her performance art project “BIO POP” in Korea, which will be the first installment of a seven-year installment.

The interview also comes after reports of strain in the couple’s relationship. Sources told People that Censori “had been very unhappy in their marriage for a while and tried to get out a number of times,” as West continued managing bipolar disorder. One insider said, “He’s been in this vicious cycle for years. When he’s not in a good space mentally, he tends to create so much drama, which then has lasting consequences.” The pair briefly split earlier in 2025 before reconciling, with West later tellingVanity Fairin a separate article that a depressive episode led them to seek treatment together in Switzerland.

The creative married West in 2022, just one year year after his divorce from wife Kim Kardashian. Together, Kardashian and West are father to four children: North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, 8, and Psalm, 6.

For fans, The Mandalorian watch a Star Wars series about survival, loyalty, and purpose. For Brendan Wayne, a primary 'suit actor' inside the iconic Mandalorian armor, (with Pedro Pascal providing the voice), those themes were real life.

On Katee Sackhoff’s podcast, he opened up about medical emergencies that left him close to death and the moment that brought him back.

Wayne experienced a life-threatening medical emergency at the start of Season 2 where a hernia patch tore his intestine, leading to sever sepsis. He spent 42 days in the ICU, underwent four surgeries, and reported that his condition was so critical he 'died and came back to life.'

He described a time when he was mostly unconscious under heavy medication. Despite the disorientation, one memory stood out: floating in an in-between space, fully aware, when he heard a nurse say, 'It’s okay. You can let it go.' At first, he believed she was giving him permission to die.

'I realized it wasn’t that my family needed me,' Wayne said. 'It was that I needed them. I needed their love.' That realization, he says, was enough to pull him back. 'I wanted to be part of their lives, to experience their love and support. That gave me the strength to return.'

Returning to work on Disney+'s The Mandalorian became a critical part of his recovery. The routine, responsibility, and community kept him focused. 'I had my kids at home,' he said, 'and then I got to set and thought, ‘I’ve got family here. I’ve got Mandalorian.’ It gave me structure and purpose at a moment I really needed it.'

One early day back was physically demanding. Still healing, he had to dive across the floor during a scene while his youngest daughter watched. When he got up, she said, 'I texted Mom. I’m telling Mom!'

The crew also became a lifeline. On a day when he felt overwhelmed and ready to walk off set, Sackhoff (who plays fellow Mandalorian Bo Katan) and others sensed his distress and began singing, lifting his spirits. 'They saved me from making a bad choice,' he said. 'Even small gestures can make an enormous difference. It reminded me why community matters, and why people supporting each other is essential, both on set and in life.'

He credits his mother for teaching him the lesson that carried him through: wherever you are, it’s your responsibility to bring people with you. 'You can’t do it alone,' he said. 'Success and survival aren’t solitary achievements. They’re about relationships, trust, and mutual support.'

For the man inside the helmet, The Mandalorian was proof that family, both the one you’re born into and the one you find, can pull you back when you’re closest to letting go.

For over half a century, Dee Sniderhas been a madman of rock, leading the gender-bending, head-banging heavy metal group, Twisted Sister. With a mane of blonde curly hair and a defiant sneer, he helped propel the band to hair metal heaven with songs like "I Wanna Rock" and "We're Not Gonna Take It."

But that legendary tenure came to an end on Feb. 5, when Dee, 70, quit the band.

"Due to the sudden and unexpected resignation of Twisted Sister's lead singer, Dee Snider, brought on by a series of health challenges, the band has been forced to cancel all shows scheduled," read the statement posted online. Twisted Sister planned to embark on a 50th Anniversary reunion tour this year. The celebration would have kicked off on Apr. 25 in São Paulo, Brazil, but that and all other shows are now off.

"The future of Twisted Sister will be determined in the next several weeks," concluded the statement signed by bandmembers Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda.

Snider posted a separate statement on the main Twisted Sister website, explaining why he quit the band. Citing a "lifetime of legendarily aggressive performing," Snider revealed that he "suffers from degenerative arthritis and has had several surgeries over the years just to keep going, able to only perform a few songs at a time in pain."

Snider also revealed that the "intensity" of his performances has "taken a toll on his heart, as well," and he can no longer "push the boundaries of rock 'n' roll fury."

"I don't know of any other way to rock," said Snider. "The idea of slowing down is unacceptable to me. I'd rather walk away than be a shadow of my former self."

Twisted Sister initially retired from touring in 2016 with their "40 and F--- It" farewell tour. But in September, they announced plans to celebrate their milestone anniversary.

"If you're lucky enough to be in a band that people still want to see after fifty years(!), how can you not answer the call?" Snider declared in a press release. "In 2026, Twisted F---ing Sister will hit stages around the world because WE STILL WANNA ROCK!!"

Months after announcing the reunion, Snider revealed it was his call to do the anniversary tour, but he was having regrets about going back on the road.

"Why am I doing a reunion with Twisted Sister?" he asked on an episode of Steve and Rik's Potcast. Citing a "health scare" that made him contemplate if he wanted to "go silently or do I wanna go kicking and screaming," Snider decided to give it one last shot, despite saying he would never tour again.  

But… emotional circumstances made me change my mind," he remarked. "Am I regretting it? A little bit right now, sorry to say."

Lactaid is entering the coffee creamer aisle.

For the first time ever, fans of the lactose-free dairy brand can swirl its recipes—made with real milk and cream—into their coffee (or dirty soda) without worrying about stomach upset like they would if they opted to use regular dairy creamer, or needing extra syrups on hand for added flavor if they opted for the unflavored original Lactaid milk.

It may seem like a small update, but it's a significant win for those looking to avoid lactose and still enjoy "indulgent flavor in every cup."

Lactaid's new line of coffee creamers is debuting in three "delicious" flavors: French Vanilla, Caramel and Sweet Cream. Each recipe features five "simple" ingredients and is free from artificial flavors and gums.

For Weezer fans, the band’s early years have long carried a special significance. Now, a newly discovered set of recordings from that period is finally being released. The band has announced 1192, a collection of Weezer’s earliest studio sessions, arriving as a limited vinyl release for Record Store Day 2026 on April 18.

The album takes its name from November 1992, when the recordings were first made. Founding bassist Matt Sharpuncovered the material while reviewing a collection of 'lost-album' master tapes from his archives. Among them was a multi-track reel of analog tape that turned out to contain Weezer’s very first studio sessions, recordings that ultimately helped the band secure their record deal ahead of their 1994 self-titled debut, commonly known as the Blue Album.

1192 features the band’s original lineup: Rivers Cuomo, Patrick Wilson, Matt Sharp, and guitarist Jason Cropper. That configuration existed briefly but played a crucial role in shaping Weezer’s earliest sound. The sessions capture early versions of songs that would later become mainstays of the band’s catalog, including 'Say It Ain’t So,' 'Undone (The Sweater Song),' 'No One Else,' and 'Surf Wax America.'

Sharp approached the project as a standalone release. He reunited with producerJoe Chiccarelli to remix the recordings from tape to vinyl using a fully analog process. The work was completed at EastWest Studios in Los Angeles, a space known for hosting historic sessions by artists such as the Beach Boys and Frank Sinatra. The goal, according to the release notes, was to preserve the original intent and energy of the performances while honoring the recording technology of the era.

The resulting album presents Weezer in a much more raw form than fans are used to. Several tracks appear in multiple versions, including alternate vocal-and-guitar mixes and an acoustic take on “Undone,” offering a look at how the songs evolved.

Here's full tracklist:

Side One
01. No One Else - Take 1 (1192 Mix)
02. Say It Ain’t So -Take 2 (1192 Mix)
03. Undone – The Sweater Song (1192 Acoustic Mix)
04. The World Has Turned And Left Me Here (1192 Mix)
05. Surf Wax America (1192 Mix)
Side Two
06. Say It Ain’t So (1192 Vocal and Guitar Mix)
07. The World Has Turned And Left Me Here (1192 Vocal and Guitar Mix)
08. Undone – The Sweater Song (1192 Band Mix)
09. No One Else - Take 2 (1192 Mix)
10. Say It Ain’t So - Take 1 (1192 Mix))

Only 3,000 copies of 1192 will be pressed as a Record Store Day “RSD First” release. 1192 will be available at participating independent record stores on April 18.

"He looks like a lot of people in my history book," Haines replies, before her realization that it's the second U.S. president. Gates Jr. told her, "He is your third cousin, nine times removed!"

She responded, "Oh my God. I'm related to a president! And he was a good one!"

Gates Jr. then told Haines, during his View appearance, that she was related to yet another president. Adams's son, John Quincy Adams, was the sixth president of the United States.

He explained that only one guest in the history of the series was related to a president, and that was filmmaker Michael Moore. Haines is the first celebrity guest related to two officehoders.

"We only had one other guest in the history of the series who was related to a president, unhappily so, and that was Michael Moore, who was related to Herbert Hoover. You are our first guest, happily related to two United States presidents!" Haines is related to both presidents via her maternal grandfather.

Sarah Haines's relation to two presidents of the United States is an ironic twist. It’s a surprising connection that adds a whole new layer to her public persona.

The View features Haines, Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Ana Navarro, Sunny Hostin, and Alyssa Farah Griffin, who discuss current events, pop culture, and politics. Since its debut in 1997, the show has blended lively debates and interviews with celebrities and newsmakers.
