In a world full of legendary records, one 1968 release stands above the rest. The Beatles’ self-titled double album, often called The White Album, has been officially recognized as the most important classic rock album of all time, according to Collider. 

Known for its experimental sound and eclectic mix of songs, The Beatles is not just a collection of tracks; it’s a snapshot of rock history and cultural transformation.

Released during a pivotal era of social change and musical experimentation, The Beatles was a daring statement by the Fab Four: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. 

Its release captured the band at the height of their creativity, just two years after the global phenomenon of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and before the eventual dissolution of the group in 1970.

Unlike earlier Beatles records, the 1968 album showcased the band’s ability to explore multiple musical styles in a single work. From the raw energy of “Helter Skelter,” an early precursor to heavy metal, to the avant-garde experimentation of “Revolution 9,” the album spans folk, rock, psychedelia and experimental music. 

Music historians note that The White Album condenses the evolution of rock up to that point while hinting at the genre's future. Its influence can be seen in countless albums that followed, across multiple rock sub-genres. Rolling Stone and other music authorities regularly cite it as a reference point for artists seeking to push the boundaries of sound.

The release of The White Album came on the heels of Beatlemania, a phenomenon that had already reshaped youth culture globally. Fans from New York to Tokyo flocked to hear the Fab Four perform, and the band’s appearances on shows like The Ed Sullivan Show solidified their international fame. But by 1966, The Beatles had largely retired from live performances, focusing instead on studio innovation, per Britannica.

During this period, the band experimented with complex arrangements, unconventional instruments and layered harmonies, marking a turning point for rock music. Tracks like “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” featuring George Harrison, and McCartney’s “Here, There and Everywhere” show a refined emotional depth that went beyond the playful pop of their early hits like “She Loves You.”

Today, The White Album continues to resonate. Its tracks appear on best-of lists, inspire contemporary artists, and are studied for their musical ingenuity. With new films and documentaries exploring the Beatles’ story, including the upcoming The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event by director Sam Mendes, the album’s legacy remains alive, introducing younger audiences to the band’s groundbreaking work.

Judith Light knows how to bring the fun to the red carpet.

The beloved Who’s the Boss star, 76, is best known for her role as the high-powered advertising executive and single mom Angela Bower on the classic ’80s sitcom. Back then, her character was known for office chic styles like pussy bow blouses and shoulder pads to contrast with that of housekeeper Tony Micelli, famously played by Tony Danza. The show followed as Micelli moved into her Connecticut home with his daughter, Samantha, played by Alyssa Milano. Naturally, chaos ensued as Micelli clashed with Bower’s straight-laced ways. But in the present day, Light, who earned acclaim for her roles on Ugly Betty and Transparent, is still a fashion queen who brings fun and quirkiness to the red carpet.

This week, she attended the opening of the Chuck Lorre Family Foundation Kitchen & Foundation at Project Angel Food in Los Angeles, California, and sported tortoiseshell glasses and a black cloche hat. She paired the look with a full black ensemble, which highlighted her platinum blonde hair.

Would Judith Light Participate in a ‘Who’s the Boss’ Reboot?

Rumors of a Who’s the Boss reboot have gotten fans of the classic series curious about whether Light would return to reprise her role as Angela Bower. Last year, Milano, who played Tony’s daughter Samantha Micelli on the series, told Entertainment Tonight that she thinks a reboot would be a great idea.

“I think it could be really funny because, in my head, Tony is gonna be the exact same character but everything around him is just changing and growing,” Milano told ET. “So I’m excited about the prospect. I think it could be really, really fun.”

But Light isn’t sure she'd be able to commit to the show just yet. However, she made it clear that she also can’t guarantee what will happen in the future.

“In terms of where I am and the workload that I have right now, I don’t know what my availability would be,” the actress told PEOPLE last year. “When I started my career, I said I’d never do a soap opera and I’d never do a sitcom,” she continued. “Well, I did both those things. Then I said I would never marry an actor. And I did just that. So, I learned to never say never.”

 Actress Jennie Garth revealed that she tried to join the cast of the hit HBO anthology seriesThe White Lotus.

People magazine reported that Garth shared she had wanted a role on the show, created by Mike White, in a February 2026 episode of her podcast, I Choose Me With Jennie Garth. While speaking to her guest, Susan Lucci, Garth revealed that she was upset that she didn't get cast on the show's third season, which focused on guests and employees at the White Lotus Thailand resort.

"For me, one of the roles that I have recently not gotten that I was bummed about was one of the characters on White Lotus," said Garth on her podcast. "And they shot that season in Thailand, which I would have really loved. So I was bummed about that. I'm not gonna lie."

Jennie Garth Shared Her Thoughts About Being Associated With Her 'Beverly Hills, 90210' Character

Garth's breakout and possibly most recognizable role was her character, Kelly Taylor, in Beverly Hills, 90210. She appeared as Kelly in all 10 seasons of Beverly Hills, 90210, and several episodes of the 2009 reboot series, 90210, per IMDb.

During an August 2024 interview on The Skinny Confidential Him & Her podcast, Garth shared her thoughts about still being associated with Kelly. She said that while it can be "very strange" because she isn't her character, she appreciates the loyalty of Beverly Hills, 90210 fans. She also stated that those fans tend to support her by watching her other projects.

"You have to accept it and embrace it. And that's what I've chosen to do instead of fight it. Because I'm so appreciative of that person that remembers me and wants to call me Kelly Taylor," said the actress on the podcast. "That I meant something to that person at some point in their life and had an impact on them and I'm never going to be upset when somebody makes reference to that."

Awards season is in full swing in Hollywood, and we're having a blast watching all our favorite celebrities dress to impress on the red carpet. Like many fashion lovers, we often take style cues from the glam looks we see at awards shows. Since we don't get many opportunities to rock a ball gown in real life, we tend to be most inspired by celebrities' jewelry game. For instance, we've been fascinated by the way some fashionistas have been wearing accessories in new and unique ways over the last few years. So Parade decided it was about time that we learn the how to layer necklaces to step up our style.

While searching for answers, we consulted a handful of celebrity stylists. We also tapped the expertise of Jaclyn Elbaum, the co-founder of Audry Rose, a jewelry brand that Taylor Swift has been spotted wearing recently.

We've seen time and time again that the right accessory can take an outfit to the next level. And after picking up a few pointers from the pros, we've started to realize that layering necklaces is easier than it looks. Below, we're outlining everything you need to know to wear layered necklaces, so you can rock this simple yet impactful accessory trend next time you go out.

Tips on How To Layer Necklaces

From mixing metals to playing with length, there are plenty of ways to customize your layered necklace look.

Mixing metals 

When it comes to mixing metals, Elbaum says she doesn't follow strict rules.

"Jewelry is personal. It shouldn’t come with instructions," she states. "I tend to gravitate towards yellow and white gold, as rose gold doesn’t complement my skin tone. But if it works for you, it absolutely belongs in the mix."

The jewelry pro has always appreciated the way white and yellow gold enhance each other.

"The contrast brings depth, dimension and a sense of balance. It’s something I return to often in my designs because life is made up of contrasts, and I love when jewelry reflects that," she shares.

Shop the look:

• Kendra Scott Elisa Gold Pendant Necklace in Ivory Mother-of-Pearl ($70)
• Helzberg Mini Curb Chain Charm Necklace in Sterling Silver, 22" ($89.99)

Mixing lengths 

When you're working with multiple necklace lengths, Elbaum recommends starting with the most delicate piece (usually a chain or something with a pendant) as the shortest layer.

"It creates a soft foundation and gives the rest of the layers room to shine," she explains.

She also focuses more on harmony than on matching.

"Pay attention to how each piece relates to the next through proportion, texture and flow," she shares. "When everything feels considered but not overly styled, the layers move together effortlessly, as if they were always meant to be worn as one."

Shop the look:

• Audry Rose Whisper Chain Necklace ($480)
• Divinely Guided by Theresa Caputo Let The Light In Pendant Necklace ($58)

Mixing chains and textures 

Elbaum says varying the chain thickness is "just as important" as varying the length of your necklaces.

"Mixing fine, airy chains with slightly weightier ones keeps the look dynamic and prevents it from feeling flat," she notes.

Mixed chains can add "depth and visual interest," per the jewelry pro, but it's also a "practical" move.

"Different chain weights and styles help prevent necklaces from tangling and sitting on top of one another," she states.

Elbaum is a fan of mixing textures and loves to pair something modern and clean with a piece that "feels hand-carved or organic."

"That contrast brings warmth and ease to the overall look and keeps it from feeling too polished or overly styled," she says.

Shop the look:

• Patricia Nash Lacey Necklace ($44)
• Jared Foxtail Chain Necklace 2.5mm Stainless Steel 30" ($210)

Styling for different necklines

The outfit you're wearing with your necklaces also has an impact on how you should layer them.

"Let your outfit guide the layers. V-necks pair beautifully with graduated chains, while higher necklines call for longer, linear silhouettes that elongate the body," Tiffany Briseno, a celebrity stylist who has worked with Emily Hampshire, Shawn Mendes and Kane Brown, says.

Celebrity stylists and sisters, Elana and Dina Solomon, couldn't agree more.

"We always consider the neckline of the outfit when layering necklaces," Elana Solomon says. Collectively, she and her sister have worked with Wells Adams, Love Island USA stars Kaylor Martin and Olivia Walker, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City's Meredith Marks and more.

Not sure where to start? Dina Solomon suggests shorter layers for crewnecks and longer, cascading pieces for scoop necklines and V-necks

"Matching your necklace lengths to your neckline ensures nothing gets lost and the layers frame the outfit effortlessly," the stylist says.

How To Layer Necklaces Without Tangling Them

Want to avoid a tangled mess while layering your necklaces? Elbaum has a few tips.

"Varying chain thickness is key. When everything is the same weight and scale, tangling is almost inevitable," she explains. "Mixing delicate chains with slightly heavier ones helps each piece sit in its own space and move more independently."

Staggering lengths can also ensure that the necklaces don't compete for the same spot on your neckline.

"That small difference in spacing makes a big impact," she shares.

When tangling does occur, Elbaum says it's not necessarily a problem.

"I don’t always mind it. Sometimes the messiness adds to the charm," she says. "Jewelry doesn’t have to be perfectly controlled to feel beautiful. When it feels lived-in and a little undone, it often feels the most authentic."

Tips To Keep Necklaces in Place

Jewelry sometimes has a mind of its own, especially when you're layering different necklaces together. Luckily, Elbaum has a few tips for keeping your perfectly layered necklaces in place if you prefer that look to a more chaotic one.

"If keeping necklaces polished and in place is important to you, I recommend layering no more than three necklaces and wear[ing] them at varying lengths," she shares. "Any more and I think entanglement is unavoidable."

She also suggests buying necklaces that are pre-layered to take the guesswork out of things.

If your necklaces do fall out of place, that's OK too.

"I always say to embrace the messiness. My favorite layered looks are the ones that don’t feel overly calculated," she says.

Necklace Length Guide

Since necklace layering is all about using different lengths of necklaces, we asked Elbaum to share a go-to guide for the different lengths you might find in your jewelry box.

• 14”–16”: This length, often known as a choker necklace, typically sits right at the collarbone or just above it. "I love them as the starting point for layering because they frame the neckline and create a clean foundation," Elbaum shares. "The vibe is intimate, modern and slightly nostalgic all at once. When layering, I usually try to space the next piece about an inch lower so everything feels intentional rather than crowded."
• 17”–19”: Slightly longer in length, necklaces of this size typically fall just below the collarbone. "It works beautifully on its own or as the second layer in a stack. The feeling is effortless and everyday," she explains. "This length is perfect for small pendants or simple chains that you never take off."
• 20”–24”: "These necklaces fall at the upper chest and add movement and dimension to a layered look. The vibe feels relaxed and confident, easy to wear but visually interesting," she says.
• 28”–36”: Often referred to as an opera-length necklace, this jewelry box staple falls lower on the chest and "instantly adds drama and elegance," per Elbaum. "They’re beautiful worn long, doubled up or paired with shorter layers for contrast. This length feels expressive and intentional. It's perfect for making a statement while still feeling fluid and wearable," she shares.

Mistakes To Avoid When Layering Necklaces

Want to master the art of necklace layering while avoiding some common mistakes? Elbaum and Briseno recommend avoiding the following faux pas:

• Don't make everything too similar: "A little contrast in scale and silhouette goes a long way in creating balance," Elbaum says.
• Don't overthink it: "Layering should feel natural, not overly styled. If you’re constantly adjusting or second-guessing a combination, it’s usually a sign that something isn’t working. Trust your instinct and remove a piece rather than forcing it to fit," she shares.
• Don't get too literal or themed: "Mixing modern with organic, polished with hand-finished, keeps the look relaxed and personal. When everything matches perfectly, it can start to feel stiff," she states.
• Don't be afraid to make a statement: "Every layered set needs a hero. Think a medallion, pendant or vintage charm. Let that piece ground the look while the others support it," Briseno shares.
• Don't forget to balance storyline with style: "The most compelling layers often mix personal pieces, heirlooms, talismans, charms or modern staples. The result feels lived-in, intentional and uniquely yours," she explains.
• Don't forget to play with texture and shine: "Combine polished chains with matte, hammered or beaded textures. The variation adds visual interest and gives the layering a more curated, editorial feel," she says.

6 Best Ways To Layer Necklaces, According to Celebrity Stylists1. Classic length staggering

Elana and Dina Solomon are big fans of layering necklaces and always like to start with varied lengths.

"Begin with a shorter necklace, like a choker or collarbone-length chain. Add a mid-length piece and finish with something longer. This creates a clean cascade that keeps each necklace visible and intentional," Elana Solomon says.

This distinct spacing between lengths can prevent tangling and add polish to the overall look.

"For that polished finish, leave about two inches of space between necklace lengths so each piece is visible and it doesn’t feel like too much," she shares.

2. Start with a focal piece

While layering necklaces, Dina Solomon likes to ground the look with a focal piece.

"We like to choose one necklace as the anchor—a coin pendant, gemstone or meaningful charm—and build around it with simpler chains," she explains. "Letting one piece lead gives the entire stack direction and ensures the look feels curated rather than cluttered."

3. Mixed chain textures

Elana Solomon says mixing different chain styles in the same stack is one of her "favorite tricks."

"Think a sleek snake chain paired with a paperclip or rope chain," she shares. "The contrast in texture adds depth and visual interest, making even minimal layers feel elevated and fashion-forward."

4. Mix metals thoughtfully

The Solomons love a mixed metal moment.

"Gold, silver and even rose gold can absolutely live together," Dina Solomon says. "The key is intention. We recommend repeating at least one metal across multiple necklaces so the mix feels cohesive rather than random. This approach gives a modern, effortless edge."

5. Combine pendants with plain chains

Raimonda Kulikauskiene/Getty Images

Elana Solomon says a pendant necklace is the "perfect centerpiece" when it's layered with simpler chains.

"We like alternating statement pendants with delicate or textured chains to create balance. This keeps the look dynamic while still allowing each piece to have its time to shine," she notes.

6. Play with proportions

Dina Solomon recommends pairing a choker or other necklace that fits close to the neck with a longer drop or lariat necklace to "create drama."

"The contrast in proportions elongates the neckline and adds movement, making even the simplest outfit feel styled," she says.

NYPD Blue star Sharon Lawrence looks better than ever at 64.

The accomplished actress, who is best known for her role as Sylvia Costas on the beloved ABC police series that ran from 1993 to 2005, has tackled a bevy of complicated roles over the years. While Lawrence finished her time on the cop show in 1999, she eventually appeared on shows like Desperate Housewives and Grey’s Anatomy. Also an accomplished theater actress, the Emmy nominee is still going strong and has recently become an absolute fan favorite on the Hallmark Channel.

In addition to her acting roles, Lawrence is known for her philanthropic efforts. This week, she attended the opening of the Chuck Lorre Family Foundation Kitchen & Foundation at Project Angel Food in Los Angeles, California. The foundation describes its mission as funding innovative and compassionate organizations in the areas of education, health, and the arts, while Project Angel Food nourishes the health and spirit of people facing critical and life-threatening illnesses by preparing and delivering medically tailored meals with love, care, and dignity. Lawrence looked absolutely glam and glowed on the red carpet (okay, blue carpet) during her appearance, which also featured Jamie Lee Curtis and Judith Light.

Lawrence’s Recent Project in Nashville

If you follow Lawrence on social media, you may know she spent the fall hanging out in Nashville, working on some fun projects for the holidays. A Grand Ole Opry Christmas is the first collaboration between the Hallmark Channel and the Grand Ole Opry.

Lawrence appears in A Grand Ole Opry Christmas alongside Nikki DeLoach, James Denton, Rob Mayes, and Luke Benward. DeLoach plays Gentry Wade, the daughter of late country music star Jett Wade.

According to a description, Gentry “abandoned her dream of a songwriting career and distanced herself from her father’s legacy following his tragic car accident 30 years prior. When the Grand Ole Opry invites her to represent Jett at their centennial celebration at Christmas, she’s hesitant to return to the place steeped in bittersweet memories.”

Seeing A Grand Ole Opry Christmas Debut

Over Thanksgiving, Lawrence took to social media to express her gratitude for the successful debut of A Grand Ole Opry Christmas, which is now available for streaming.

“What a way to feel the spirit of #thanksgiving. My weekend was full of #agrandoleoprychristmas, my heart is full of admiration for my colleagues who conceived, collaborated and created this #hallmarkchannel love song to family and dreams,” the NYPD Blue alum shared in an Instagram video.

Planning a truly unforgettable romantic dinner can feel overwhelming, especially when Valentine's Day rolls around, and every restaurant claims to be the perfect spot for couples. From candlelit tables to indulgent tasting menus, the idea of the "most romantic restaurant" is often subjective. That's why lists backed by real diners tend to carry extra weight. When thousands of experienced food lovers agree on what sets the mood best, it's worth paying attention, particularly for couples searching for a romantic restaurant that feels genuinely special.

According to Yelp Elites, who are known for their high standards and detailed reviews, one restaurant stands above the rest. Their ranking of the Top 100 romantic restaurants in the U.S. pulls from years of ratings and reviews, with strict criteria around quality, consistency and atmosphere. Taking the number one spot is a destination that has become synonymous with luxury dining, exceptional service and unforgettable date nights.

Why This Restaurant Earned the Top Spot

New Africa / Shutterstock.com

Cafe Monarch in Scottsdale, Ariz., claimed the title of America's most romantic restaurant thanks to its refined ambiance and meticulously curated dining experience. Located in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale, this upscale restaurant is best known for its elegant four-course, prix-fixe menus and its focus on seasonal, premium ingredients. From the moment guests arrive, everything feels intentional, from the softly lit dining spaces to the attentive tableside service.

Yelp reviewers frequently highlight the atmosphere as a major draw, with fireplace-adjacent seating, lush outdoor courtyards and private dining rooms that feel intimate without being stuffy. One diner wrote that the experience was superior in every respect, praising the ambiance, food, wine list, and service in equal measure. That balance is exactly what couples look for when planning a romantic dinner, especially for milestone celebrations or Valentine's Day.

What Couples Can Expect From the Experience

The four-course menu evolves with the seasons, offering carefully paired options such as hamachi and tuna, pork belly, scallops, short rib and premium steaks or seafood for the final course. Prices vary depending on selections, ranging from around $145 to well over $200.

Reviewers often note the staff's confidence and knowledge, making wine pairings feel approachable rather than intimidating. For couples celebrating Valentine's Day or planning a special romantic dinner, that level of service can make the evening feel seamless and deeply personal.

Rounding out the top five romantic restaurants on Yelp's list are Sotto in Cincinnati, Cibo in Phoenix, the Pink Door in Seattle and Ciccio Mio in Chicago. Still, Cafe Monarch's combination of ambiance, cuisine and service clearly sets it apart. For couples who live nearby—or are willing to travel for romance—this Scottsdale restaurant is ideal.

For Hailee Steinfeld, beauty routines have become less about perfection and more about practicality—especially during a season filled with red carpets, exciting new projects, and of course, her pregnancy.

Speaking exclusively with Parade, Steinfeld opened up about the makeup trends she’s ready to leave behind, and why simplicity has become her go-to. “I love to keep things quick and simple,” she said, explaining that heavy techniques no longer fit into her everyday routine. “Contouring and baking and all of that on my own is a lot,” she added. “Anything that keeps you in there longer than you need to be is kind of a no-go for me.”

Instead, the 29-year-old gravitates toward looks that highlight what’s already there. “One thing I hope never goes away though, I’ve always loved highlighting my beauty marks,” she shared. “I think the overall thing with that is just highlighting our natural features.”

However, the Sinners actress leaned into a more dramatic take on glam at the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, pairing winged liner with a shimmering Prada gown that quickly became one of her most talked-about looks. At her first red carpet since announcing her pregnancy with husband Josh Allen, the moment felt especially meaningful. “That was a special moment for me… a different looking red carpet moment for me than I’ve ever had in the past,” Steinfeld shared.

Another special moment for the star? Her upcoming Super Bowl ad with State Farm. Steinfeld will appear alongside Keegan-Michael Key, Danny McBride, and girl group KATSEYE in an exciting commercial, which playfully reimagines Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer.”

“The way that this was written was so quick and witty, but so smart,” she revealed, sharing how excited she is to show her friends the new project. “This is one of those things where I will oftentimes tell my friends that I’m working on this fun secret project,” she said. “This is something that I was so excited to tell them that I couldn’t wait for them to find out what it was. And they are about to.”

The ad will premiere on Sunday, February 8 during the big game.

Matthew Stafford may not be headed to Super Bowl LX with his Los Angeles Rams, but the star quarterback is a champion at home. The NFL MVP nominee stole the show on the red carpet of the 2026 NFL Honors in San Francisco on Thursday, bringing the four most adorable dates with him to attend the show.

Stafford and his wife of ten years, Kelly Stafford, brought their four young daughters to this year’s NFL Honors, with the star quarterback adorably escorting two of his daughters down the red carpet while Kelly followed close behind with the couple’s other two daughters. Despite the line of journalists vying for Stafford’s attention, the 37-year-old University of Georgia alum kept his focus on his family, making sure his daughters and wife were close even when stopping for interviews and photographs.

The Stafford Girls on the Sidelines and Beyond

The four Stafford girls have become regular fixtures on the sidelines of Rams games, at home at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, on the road, and even abroad at the Rams’ London game earlier this season. Wearing signature matching outfits, usually made by mom, twins Sawyer and Chandler (8), Hunter (7), and youngest Tyler (5) make sure to check in with dad before he takes the field and can be heard cheering for him throughout his games.

A Coordinated Red Carpet Look

At Thursday’s NFL Honors, the Stafford girls wore matching floor-length sparkly dresses, each carrying a bedazzled football-shaped purse to complete her elegant look. While Matthew spoke to reporters or walked the red carpet with his daughters, Kelly beamed as she watched her daughters’ MVP dad in action.

Whether or not Matthew Stafford wins the 2026 NFL MVP Award, he leaves the NFL Honors as the MVP of dads.

For more than 30 years, Louise Sorel has entertained audiences as the iconic Vivian Alamain on Days of Our Lives. With her character’s latest storyline seemingly coming to an end, the veteran actress is weighing in on whether she would return to Salem once again.

In a recent interview with TV Insider, Sorel reflected on her long history with the Peacock soap, her most recent return, and her latest venture as an author.

When asked if she would be open to reprising the role in the future, Sorel didn’t hesitate. “Sure, I’d love to.”

Sorel explained that her background in theater made her bond with Vivian particularly meaningful. “I love that character. I’m from the theater, and you do a show, and then it’s gone; you don’t stay with the character,” she said. “But I kind of fell in love with Vivian, and then I felt sort of a loss when I wasn’t playing her.”

Vivian’s most recent on-screen return was brief but packed with intrigue.

During the storyline, Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) traveled to Alamainia to question Vivian about her potential involvement in the DiMera family kidnappings. Vivian denied any responsibility, though the two uncovered a tablet connected to a hidden camera inside the DiMera crypt. Vivian claimed the device beloved to her former housemate, Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte).

As the investigation continued, a former associate of Vivian’s revealed that Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash) had been held against his will and appeared unharmed, desperate to return home to his wife, and Rafe’s sister, Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez). Meanwhile, viewers later learned that Vivian was closer involved with the DiMera kidnapping that she had let on, as she hired a henchman involved in the kidnappings and with the assistance of Gwen Rizczech (Emily O'Brien), planted evidence to frame Dimitri.

Back in Salem, Liam Slejecko (Hank Northrop) identified Vivian’s associate to authorities. Now viewers await to find out what the connection between Vivian and Gwen is, and if the authorities will ever identify her henchman, or if their involvement will remain a mystery forever.

If you love hosting, you know the food is half the fun, and also half the stress. One of the most agonizing parts of throwing a party is trying to keep everything warm while guests trickle in, go back for seconds, or get distracted mid-plate. You time the oven just right, pull dishes out feeling very proud of yourself and then realize people are still arriving 20 minutes later. Suddenly you're reheating, rearranging and low-key babysitting trays instead of actually enjoying your own party.

And when guests are coming and going all night, you want everyone to have the same experience. No one should be stuck with lukewarm apps or a sad, cooling main dish. You want food that looks inviting no matter when someone's ready to eat. When the food stays warm, you get to relax, mingle, refill drinks and actually enjoy the party you worked so hard to pull together.

That's where Chefman's Everything Warmer Modular Expanding Warming Tray comes into play. It comes with two 10" x 16" trays that heat evenly across the entire surface, so you don’t end up with hot spots in one place and cold food in another. You can choose how warm you want things to be, from gently warm to seriously hot, depending on what you're serving.

These warming trays work with pretty much any dish or pan that can handle heat, so there's no overthinking or swapping plates mid-party. The top is made of sturdy tempered glass, which means it can handle spills, splatters and everyday wear. Plus when the party's over, a quick wipe is all it takes to make it look good as new.

Personally, I've used this warming tray even when I'm not hosting a party. My family can kind of be like ships passing in the night, with my kids all having different schedules based on extra-curricular activities, sports and whatnot. This way I can cook once and leave dishes on the warming tray, so everything is still hot when each kid gets home.

In their reviews of the product, Target shoppers call the Chefman Everything Warmer "brilliant" and "easy to use." But perhaps the highest praise comes from a customer who hosts friends and family a lot.

"I do a lot of buffet-style entertaining and I've always had to be back and forth from the oven to make sure there are always hot apps out," they wrote. "So I decided to give this a try. I was a little nervous because I have white quartz countertops and really baby them, try not to have any hot pans anywhere near them. So I did a trial run and this gave off NO heat at all from the bottom! But it kept my food perfectly hot during a 3-4 hour party."

Keep in mind you can purchase an extra set that will link with the first, creating even more surface area for keeping foods warm. Grab it a Target before the Big Game and have a stress-free Super Bowl party.

When it comes to sugary treats, people have always tried to have their cake and eat it too. Indulging in sweets without tipping into full-on gluttony has long been a tightrope act—and one we’ve never been great at. In the 1990s, that mindset fueled a wave of so-called healthy snacks: low-fat on the label, sky-high sugar inside, and very little actual nutrition to show for it.

The Kudos bar was a perfect example. If you got to pick any snack back in the day, this was a prime choice. Chocolatey, chewy, and basically candy pretending to be granola, it was a school-lunch staple and a pregame snack favorite. Even now, plenty of people are still holding out hope for a comeback.

Why Did Kudos Bars Get Discontinued?

It’s hard to pin down one exact reason why this much-loved granola bar ended up in the snack graveyard, but like most discontinued products, it was probably a mix of factors. Kudos bars launched in 1986 under Mars, Incorporated, and originally came in flavors like chocolate chip, peanut butter, and fudge.

Marketed as a better-for-you alternative to candy bars at the checkout lane, Kudos had a total chokehold on ’90s kids. Like candy bars, each one was fully covered in a layer of milk chocolate. They were chewy, sugary, and unapologetically chocolatey. What more could a kid want?

In May 2011, the brand tried to reinvent itself with new varieties made using Snickers, Dove, and M&M's, plus a reformulation that added more calcium and peanuts. What probably ended up being the death knell, though, was the change to a chocolate undercoating and a chocolate drizzle on top instead of the full chocolate coating.

By 2017, Kudos bars were unofficially discontinued. They didn’t get a big farewell—they just quietly vanished from store shelves, like they’d been snapped away by Thanos himself. The only real acknowledgment ever came via a response to a Facebook comment, where the company confirmed the bars were discontinued and apologized for the inconvenience. Not a full ghosting, but close enough.

Do They Make Kudos Bars Anymore?

Sadly, these chocolate-covered granola bars aren't available like they once were in their heyday, when you could grab a family pack at Costco. These days, your best bet is settling for close-enough stand-ins like Kroger’s chewy dipped bars, Aldi-brand granola bars, or Quaker chewy dipped bars. They won’t hit quite the same, but it’s what’s available.

Now, the healthy candy bar space is dominated by high-protein options like Built, Barebells, and RXBAR—bars that boast big protein numbers to scratch full the same sweet itch, with a little less guilt attached.

Will Kudos Bars Ever Come Back?

Some fans still hold out hope that Kudos bars will make a triumphant return—a second coming, if you will—but the odds aren’t great. That’s about as likely as SnackWell’s making a comeback or pigs flying. Still, stranger things have happened.

There is a Change.org petition floating around, but with only a couple dozen signatures, it’s probably not enough to convince the higher-ups at Mars to resurrect a fallen favorite, no matter how beloved it once was.

♬ Lo-fi hip hop - NAO-K

The good news is that you don’t have to rely on memory alone for a nostalgic sugar rush. Kudos bars are surprisingly easy to recreate at home using pantry staples—and honestly, you probably don’t want to replicate every ingredient anyway.

The basics are simple: granola, milk chocolate, peanuts, almonds, and sugar. From there, you can customize things with your favorite candy bar, chocolate, or nuts.

On Instagram, one user keeps it extremely low-effort by spreading a layer of creamy peanut butter over a Nature Valley granola bar and pressing M&M’s into it. You could easily do the same with chopped candy bars or drizzle melted chocolate over the top.

Prefer making them from scratch? One TikTok creator mixes Rice Krispies cereal with oats, then cooks down brown sugar, peanut butter, unsalted butter, salt, vanilla extract, and corn syrup until thick. That mixture gets folded into the cereal, pressed into a parchment-lined 9×9 pan, and chilled until set.

Once firm, the slab is sliced into bar shapes, dipped on the bottom in melted milk or semi-sweet chocolate, and set on parchment to harden. Finish things off with mini M&M’s and a drizzle of melted chocolate using a piping bag. It sounds a little involved, but it really isn’t if you’ve got the time, patience, and a bit of creativity. And for a taste of childhood nostalgia, it's totally worth it.

Last week's episode of The Traitors shifted the game seismically. The highly-teased "Black Banquet" took out Yam Yam Arocho, but not before he threw more suspicion Lisa Rinna's way. Rob Rausch continued where he left off, helping turn the group against his fellow Traitor at the Round Table. But he wasn't the only one to commit Traitor-on-Traitor violence, as Candiace Dillard Bassett made a "throwaway vote" his way, as a warning shot to not mess with her. And this week, it was all-out war.

Here's our full spoiler-filled recap of The Traitors Season 4 tonight, including who went home.

Who went home on The Traitors Season 4 tonight?Colton Underwood (Faithful) Colton Underwood on 'The Traitors'

When Colton Underwood came into The Traitors, he took on the mantle often successful in the past: Lead Traitor hunter. He hit majorly early on, leading the charge to banish Secret Traitor Donna Kelce, but his streak immediately went cold in the false accusations against Tiffany Mitchell. Regardless, the former football player continued his aggressive play, even if his actions were making others suspicious of him. And, for what it's worth, after missing on Tiffany, he became immediately suspicious of Lisa Rinna. After attempting to blackmail her in exchange for safety, he fully went on the warpath against her, and was successful yet again in a Traitor banishment.

What's more, he observed Candiace's odd throwaway vote against Rob, indicating to him that she may have been in cahoots with Lisa. In the meantime, she was pushing hard to boot the Bachelor, feeling he was too big of a threatning Faithful who had just earned some goodwill back. Despite their incredibly tight relationship (and perhaps to make Candiace look suspicious), Rob acquiesced. It was the most shocking murder yet, as many had believed his dominating behavior was a sign of a Traitor.

Candiace started The Traitors quite messy. She unintentionally threw her fellow Traitor Lisa under the bus before even entering the turret alongside her. And the next day, she tried to turn Porsha Williams against Michael Rapaport, only for it to blow up in her face. After that, the Housewife decided to slink into the shadows, allowing the larger players to take each other out while simultaneously trying to keep Lisa out of the line of fire.

Things markedly shifted, however, during Lisa's banishment. Seeing Rob's decision to "disband the Traitors," she decided to cast a "random" vote against him. It was something that instantly pinged on everyone's radar, as they noticed how off that behavior was. As the day went along, and Candiace learned she was becoming a target, she decided to declare all-out war on Rob, talking about how rattled he was after Colton's murder at the Round Table. Unfortunately, that only incriminated her further, as the others clocked she was suddenly targeting Rob after seemingly throwing a vote away last time. And so, for the second week in a row, the Faithful — and Rob — near-unanimously banished a Traitor.

Who was recruited on The Traitors tonight?

At the beginning of the episode, Candiace and Rob were given the option to either recruit or murder. Both decided to do the latter, with the ulterior motive of drawing suspicion onto the other person.

Following Candiace's banishment, Rob was given yet another opportunity to recruit. He chose Eric Nam, providing him with an ultimatum. Either the K-pop star could join him as a Traitor, or he would be murdered. We'll have to tune in next week to find out what Eric chooses to do, and if he'll be yet another Traitor swiftly booted!

It seems we've entered the golden age of farewell tours...and one band's final jaunt just got even longer.

In November, the beloved Southern rock band Little Feat announced they'd be hitting the road on "The Last Farewell Tour" in April 2026. Now the group has revealed 19 additional dates on the upcoming run, which kicks off on April 10 in Orlando, Florida.

According to a recent Instagram post from the band, the new dates start on May 26 in Ocean City, Maryland, and include stops in cities such as New Haven and Los Angeles before wrapping up in Denver on August 22.

View this post on Instagram

In the caption on the post, founding keyboardist Bill Payne said his "hope is ‘The Last Farewell Tour’ resembles a long passionate kiss, a prolonged warm hug, giving us all time to embrace this special moment to remember our collective past with those here and others departed but still in our hearts."

"This is a celebration that acknowledges gratitude to all for an unforgettable journey, mingled with joy, sadness, but no regrets," he continued, adding, "Let’s allow some time for all of this to play out. We still have a lot to say and share. All endings suggest new beginnings."

Along with their tour announcement last fall, Little Feat also shared a previously unreleased song, "Feathers and a Smile," written by the group’s late co-founder, lead singer and guitarist Lowell George, and featuring his daughter Inara George on vocals.

“Everybody and their brother is retiring now,” Payne told Rolling Stone in November. “But I’ll be honest, I resisted it at first. I’ll be 77 in March, and [guitarist] Fred Tackett is 80 and [bassist] Kenny [Gradney] will be 76 next year. But what’s the rush on farewelling this thing?”

“It’s not an immediate cutoff,” he continued, referring to the band's "last" tour. “If it were, I would have said, ‘No, absolutely not.’ But when I really thought about it, if you play a venue, you just knock it off your list and don’t have to jump on a bus and go places every night, which is probably not a bad thing. And you can do residencies, if they’re available, or play music with other people or do special events. It’s age-related, but as a business model, I guess prices go up, since people think, ‘Oh, we need to see those guys.’”

Tickets for Little Feat's summer tour go on sale this Friday at littlefeat.net/tour.

Lindt is taking the Dubai chocolate trend to the next level (and the next season).

The popular Swiss chocolatier is introducing what it calls a "luxurious" new addition to its Easter lineup this year, and fans admit that they may be over the trend, but they're certainly not over this: Lindt's Dubai Style Easter Egg.

Following the success of its Dubai Style Chocolate Bar ($15 via the Lindt webstore) and Dubai Style Chocolate Stick ($5.80 via the Lindt webstore) comes this festive, "beautifully crafted" spinoff.

Lindt Debuts New Dubai Chocolate-Inspired Easter Egg

This egg-shaped candy starts with Lindt's finest milk chocolate, according to an official description shared with Parade on Thursday, Feb. 5. The company then stuffs the shell with a creamy pistachio filling that it says is made with 45 percent pistachio to create a rich paste that offers "an unparalleled flavor experience" and a sprinkle of kadayif for the sought-after crunch. Six eggs are included in each box.

"Ok, we can deff agree no matter how Dubai’d out we are, this bad boy is about to taste amazing!🤤," food blogger Markie_devo teased in a recent Instagram post.

"Looking forward to trying this even though I think we are all experiencing Dubai fatigue LOL," a second shared via Facebook.

"i have yet to try any Dubai chocolate lol," another admitted, adding that "the eggs sound fun."

"OHMYLAWD!!!" a fourth declared. "I need these."

"The Russell Stover Dubai chocolates are still the best I’ve tried," someone else suggested, adding that they "haven’t tried Lindt yet"—but after learning of this latest drop, they might have to.

Others were more concerned with the price, which is currently unclear but will likely vary by retailer (we will update this post to reflect the confirmed pricing). As for where fans can find it, it's expected to be on shelves at retailers that typically stock other limited-time and seasonal Lindt products in the coming weeks, including Lindt retail stores, CVS, Target, Walgreens, Walmart, and more.

And just so you know, Lindt is bringing back its classic hollow Gold Bunny and its Easter-exclusive Carrot Cake Truffles. Parade is also told the brand plans to launch a fun new twist on its chocolate bunny: bite-sized versions filled with either a creamy milk chocolate or "a luxurious hazelnut and crisp filling."

In honor of the Lynyrd Skynyrd classic 1976 album Gimme Back My Bullets turning 50 years old this year, the iconic rock band will be re-pressing the album on vinyl in a special edition release.

Gimme Back My Bullets is the band's fourth studio album which includes some of Lynyrd Skynyrd's greatest hits, such as the title track and the acoustic tune "All I Can Do is Write About It." Both songs, along with the rest of the album's track list, will be included in the 50th anniversary vinyl release, which is pressed on red, black and yellow vinyl to create a psychedelic, multicolor swirl pattern unique to each individual unit.

View this post on Instagram

The vinyl record is currently available for pre-order through The Sound of Vinyl and uDiscover Music for $29.99 and is set to ship out on Feb. 27.

When Gimme Back My Bullets was first released in 1976, Lynyrd Skynyrd was at a shaky point of their career. The band was determined to recover after their previous album Nuthin' Fancy had underperformed, and despite growing tensions between some of the band members, they managed to release the album to moderately positive reviews at the time. Today it’s often viewed as a transitional, underrated record—an honest snapshot of a band fighting to steady itself before its final, tragic chapter, when a horrific plane crash took the lives of lead singer Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Steve Gaines, along with backup singer Cassie Gaines, the band's assistant road manager and the two co-pilots.

Though none of the original Lynyrd Skynyrd members survive today, the band's legacy continues to live on. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inducted the band in 2006, and the band continues to tour today with a new lineup of rockers, including Johnny Van Zant, Ronnie's younger brother. Lynyrd Skynyrd will be hitting the road alongside another cornerstone rock band Foreigner in 2026 for the "Double Trouble Double Vision" tour, which will kick off on July 23.

This new exclusive 50th anniversary release breathes new life into an old cult classic, reminding Lynyrd Skynyrd fans that they'll always be able to remember and enjoy the band's music across all eras as if they were brand new.

Emily Osment looked back on the good old days of being a teen star and her time joining the cast of Hannah Montana.

The former Disney star took Throwback Thursday up a notch as she revisited both her past and present projects.

In an Instagram update, the 33-year-old actress posted a series of photos that sent fans down a nostalgic rabbit hole while causing playful panic among her followers.

The first photo featured a script from Hannah Montana episode 224, while the second showcased a copy of Osment’s script from the TV series Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage.

Both series were directed by Mark Cendrowski, who also previously worked with the actress on the hit Disney show where she played the character of Lilly Truscott, Montana’s best friend.

“On the heels of our Hannah Montana 20-year milestone, our beloved Georgie and Mandy’s First Marriage director Mark Cendrowski brought in his old copy of an HM episode this morning. Proves a few things. First, that I’m old, second that I’m still doing what I love but mostly, MOSTLY that Mark won’t leave me alone after all these years and I’m really starting to freak out about it,” the caption reads, highlighting the two-decade milestone and her long-running collaboration with the director.

The post quickly drew attention from her followers, most of whom reflected on the nostalgia and the time they first discovered the series.

“Omg! This show shaped my childhood! To this day, when I'm sick, I watch Hannah,” one wrote.

A sweet message from a fan said, “Thank you for making my childhood one to remember. Every girl needs a Lilly.”

Amid all the touching comments, others saw the post as a tease after mistaking it for a hint at a possible reboot or reunion they’ve long been waiting for.

“omggg I thought this was a new script. Our Lilly,” one fan commented.

“EMILY OSMENT I ALMOST FAINT,” another fan wrote.

A commenter also had a similar reaction saying, “I literally had a heart attack.”

“You almost killed me. I thought it was a reunion!” one wrote.

“Ahhh omg, I thought it was something new coming up,” another follower shared.

“I got scared this was a new script!” another added.

The same goes for a fan who said, “I NEARLY CHOKED TO DEATH ON MY WATER thinking this was the announcement of a reboot because Emily WHY NOT.”

“Guuuurl, don’t do that with the Brazilian fans. We’re so emotional, I thought this was something about a reunion to celebrate 20 years of the show,” one fan joked.

Hannah Montana aired for four seasons, making its debut in March 2006 and ending in January 2011.

In addition to Osment, the teen sitcom starred Miley Cyrus, Jason Earles, Billy Ray Cyrus, Mitchel Musso and others.

Years after the Disney series, Osment joined Young Sheldon as Mandy. Due to popular demand, the CBS series launched a spin-off titled Georgie & Mandy's First Marriage, which follows the ups and downs of Mandy and Georgie’s marriage, with Georgie played by Montana Jordan.

With Epstein-related files back in the news, Melinda French Gates is weighing in on forgiveness and her past with ex-husband Bill Gates.

Appearing on NPR’s Wild Card podcast in an episode released Thursday, February 5, the philanthropist addressed questions about her former marriage to the Microsoft founder, particularly in light of recently unsealed emails tied to Jeffrey Epstein. While she avoided offering direct answers about her ex-husband’s actions, Melinda, 61, shared how deeply the situation has affected her personally.

During the conversation Melinda emphasized that trust is foundational to every relationship in her life. When asked whether it took time to learn how to trust again after her marriage ended, she didn’t hesitate. “Of course,” she said, admitting “I thought it might never happen again for me.”

“I trusted myself though,” she continued. “But I have learned that with the right person you can, and it's baby steps at first, and you build on that and you see it and you test it, and then you can find it.”

Melinda also spoke about forgiveness. When asked if she considers herself good at it, she replied, “Yes, I think I am,” before adding, “But I've learned that forgiveness can take a long time and you can't rush it.” She continued, noting, “Ultimately, I really seek forgiveness with everybody because If you can't eventually forgive somebody, then you hurt yourself.”

As for whether she has forgiven Bill, Melinda was measured. “I think I'm gonna keep that one to myself,” she said, calling it a “work in progress” and adding, “I think I’m getting there.”

Her comments arrive as the Department of Justice released more than three million files connected to Epstein’s criminal investigations last week. Among them were draft emails Epstein allegedly wrote to himself containing unsubstantiated claims about Bill, 70. A spokesperson for the software developer responded by calling the allegations “absolutely absurd and completely false.” 

But Melinda told NPR that revisiting those details brought her “unbelievable sadness.” She stated that “no girl should ever be put in the situation that they were put in by Epstein.”

While she acknowledged how painful those memories remain, Melinda made one thing clear: “Those questions are for those people and for even my ex-husband. They need to answer to those things, not me.” She concluded, “I am so happy to be away from all the muck that was there,” she added.

Melinda, for her part, has been linked to Philip Vaughn since 2024 and made a red carpet appearance with him last year. She and Bill divorced back in August 2021.
