’70s Rocker Announces First Physical Release of Classic Performance
In honor of Record Store Day (RSD), this year the legendary rock artist Bruce Springsteen will be sharing two very special limited edition releases of his 2024 performance at the Sea.Hear.Now festival in Asbury Park, N.J.
The three-hour performance will be sold in limited quantities as a 5 x LP set and as a CD x 3 set. Only 6,050 copies of the LP set will be available, while even fewer copies (3,700) will be available for the CDs. This special release will also mark the first time Springsteen's 2024 Sea.Hear.Now performance has ever been available on vinyl.
The vinyl set is marked as an RSD Exclusive, meaning it will only be available for purchase in-store at indie record stores participating in RSD this year. The CD set, however, is an RSD First release, which means that it may be released to other retailers or online stores after RSD.

Springsteen's 2024 Sea.Hear.Now appearance has cemented itself as one of the highlight performances of the rocker's career. As a headliner for that year's festival in Asbury Park, Springsteen performed a powerhouse setlist of 30 of his greatest hits to a crowd of over 35,000 people. Rolling Stone called the show "one of the greatest post-reunion shows in Springsteen history," highlighting the significance of Springsteen headlining a major festival in the very city he started his career performing in.
“I feel f--kin’ old tonight in a good way,” Rolling Stone recalled Springsteen saying during the performance. “I never thought I’d live to see this sight, nowhere in my lifetime. When the band was here on that little street corner, nobody was here. I didn’t know when I’d see folks in this good town again.”
The performance was truly a full-circle homecoming for Springsteen, whose ties to Asbury Park run deep. His 1973 debut album Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. paid homage to the time he spent playing in various venues across Jersey Shore at the very beginning of his career. Springsteen would go on to honor the city during his 2024 Sea.Hear.Now show by performing three songs from the album at the start of his set in a showing of respect and love for the place where it all began for the multiple Grammy-winning musician.
Now, Springsteen's legendary performance on the beach of Asbury Park will forever be preserved in the form of two new physical releases. RSD takes place on Saturday, April 18 this year, so be sure to get to your local indie record store early to guarantee you can get your hands on a copy of this highly exclusive Springsteen release.
'Bridgerton' Author Shares the Books She Thinks You’ll Love Right Now
Julia Quinn has one message for Bridgerton fans this February: keep reading.
The bestselling author recently appeared on the TODAY show and shared a handful of standout book recommendations, spotlighting titles that made her laugh, think and, in some cases, linger long after the final page. Spanning romance, historical fiction, science fiction and literary mystery, Quinn's picks reveal exactly what draws her in as a reader — and what she thinks others will love right now.
One romance that left a strong impression is And Now, Back to You by B.K. Borison, a contemporary romance set during a once-in-a-generation storm.
"It's about two rival meteorologists who get snow bound during the storm of the century," she said. "It's funny, and it's real and her characters are just so well-rounded. They're delightful. You'd want to be friends with them."
Another recommendation, Keeper of Lost Children by Sadeqa Johnson, struck Quinn for its powerful historical roots and emotional depth. The novel is inspired by real events involving the children of Black American soldiers and German women after World War II.
"It's based on a true story about a woman who went to Germany in the early 1950s with her husband who was an officer in the army," Quinn explained. "She's Black, and she discovered that there are hundreds of what they called 'brown babies' living in orphanages in not great conditions."
Quinn added, "These are the children of Black American GIs and German women, and there just really wasn't a place for them in German society and she made it this one-woman mission to get them to the United States to be adopted by African American families. It's beautiful."
Quinn also highlighted Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, calling it a rare example of science fiction that balances technical detail with storytelling.
“This is science-fiction heavy on the science,” she said. “But Andy Weir manages to weave it into the story in a way that you don’t feel like they’re just kind of clunking it in. I can't wait to see [the movie] now that I've read the book."
One of the more unexpected picks on her list was How to Commit a Postcolonial Murder by Nina McConigley, a novel Quinn admitted she initially picked up simply because of its title.
"I picked this book up simply because of the title," she said. "It's really hard to describe. It's about girlhood, it's about sisterhood, and it’s also about abuse."
Quinn was especially taken with the novel's writing style. "The narration is amazing," she said. "She breaks the fourth wall, and she speaks directly to the reader. It's really a beautiful, entertaining story that really makes her think."
Alongside her recommendations, Quinn also shared news of a new passion project aimed at helping readers discover more historical romance. She recently launched JQ Editions, a subscription box that blends curated reads with collectible design.
"I've started a subscription box called JQ Editions," Quinn explained. "It's half book club, half subscription box." The project, which began as a Kickstarter, grew out of repeated reader questions about what to read after Bridgerton.
She continued, "So many people come to me and say, 'We want to read more historical romance. What do we read after Bridgerton?'" Quinn added, "There are so many amazing historical romance authors out there who are not necessarily getting the attention that I think they deserve, and this is my way of putting books straight into the hands of readers."
For Quinn, whether she's writing or recommending, it all comes back to the same idea: great stories deserve to be shared — and there’s always another one waiting.

’80s Rocker Once Grounded His Kid in Front of Madonna & Sean Penn (Exclusive)
Before she was unmasked on The Masked Singer, Calla Lily’s clue packages leaned heavily into a famous family and a complicated father-daughter story. Before the costume came off, Calla Lily revealed that one of her most vivid childhood memories involved being disciplined by her dad, legendary rocker John Mellencamp, in front of two of the most famous people on the planet: Madonna and Sean Penn.
On tonight’s episode, Teddi Mellencamp performed her father’s 1982 hit "Jack & Diane," further cementing the emotional throughline connecting Calla Lily’s journey to her real life.
In an exclusive interview with Parade, Mellencamp explained that while her relationship with her father is now deeply close, it wasn’t always that way—and she also divulged more details about that infamous dinner with Madonna.

“When we were younger, he always jokes and said it was the best four years of his life, the four years we didn't talk. I know he's joking. We talk every single day now. It's really incredible how much he's there for me and how much he is such a good advice giver," said the former Real Housewives star.
She said that support has been especially meaningful as she navigates ongoing health challenges after her battles with melanoma and numerous brain tumors.
“And also, when I'm emotional, he's able to stay calm. And even yesterday, I had all my neuropsych tests done. And he called and said, do you understand what they're saying, you know, with your test results and all that? And I'm like, yes, this I understand, this I don't. He's just been so on top of it that I mean, I can't even believe it," said Mellencamp.

Then there’s the dinner story, which Mellencamp confirmed is 100 percent true.
As a child, she told her father she’d be home in three hours. Six hours later, she spotted his car pulling up to the barn where she’d gone riding on her bike.
“I rode my bike to the barn, so [I was old enough that] I could ride a bike. That's how old I was. And it was really close to my house. And I said I'd be back in three hours," Mellencamp recounted.
Mellencamp recalled that her father didn’t say a word on the drive home.

“And then, at hour six, I see my dad's car pulling into the barn to pick me up. He doesn't speak to me the entire car ride home, which isn't far, considering I rode my bike there," she said.
The real moment came once they arrived home for dinner, where two very famous guests were waiting.
“But then, he walks me upstairs. He's like, ‘Wash your hands and come sit down for dinner.’ And everybody's sitting around the table, and that's when he decides to take my birthday away in front of Sean Penn and Madonna," said Mellencamp as we laughed about how insane that story is.
Before her unmasking, the panelists took their final shots at Calla Lily’s identity. Rita Ora framed the story as one of survival and bravery, guessing Selma Blair. Ken Jeong revisited an anchor clue and guessed Christina Applegate, while Robin Thicke landed on Danielle Fishel.
Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg, however, connected the dots.
Pointing to the diamond house key and repeated references to Calla Lily’s father, McCarthy tied the clues to John Mellencamp and Mellencamp’s public health journey, correctly identifying Teddi Mellencamp before the unmasking.
McCarthy nailed it—and so did we. We correctly guessed that Mellencamp was Calla Lily after her first performance back in week 2.
We interviewed Mellencamp ahead of her unmasking, and she reflected on how the show’s clues pulled from real moments in her life, including her relationship with her father and the unforgettable dinner-table story she says she’ll never forget.
The Masked Singer airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on FOX. Episodes will also be available to stream the next day on Hulu.
United Launched the First Non-Stop Flight to This World-Renowned Wine City Down Under
United Airlines recently launched the first-ever non-stop flight from the United States to South Australia's world-renowned wine region without the usual layovers in cities like Sydney or Melbourne.
Departing from San Francisco International Airport (SFO), the gateway for many transpacific routes, United's non-stop service connects the US West Coast directly with a destination that has long flown under the radar compared to Australia's bigger cities: Adelaide.
Adelaide is now closer than ever for American travelers, thanks to this long-haul leap across the Pacific. The flight to Adelaide Airport (ADL) dramatically cuts travel time and friction, transforming what was once a multi-stop journey into a single, streamlined hop—one that opens South Australia to leisure and business travelers, wine lovers, and those visiting friends and family alike.
Meanwhile, for Australians, the new United route offers a direct bridge to Silicon Valley and beyond. The new flight also strengthens economic and cultural ties between the US and South Australia, supporting tourism and business on both sides of the Pacific.
"In a historic announcement for South Australia, the new connection between the two countries will deliver a huge boost to the economy through tourism and trade, including for business events and conferences," the Government of South Australia shared in a press release. "It also means South Australians will no longer have to endure traveling to Melbourne, Brisbane, or Sydney, often catching a bus to an international terminal just to connect to a US flight."
Adelaide may be compact, but it punches far above its weight. The city sits within easy reach of world-famous wine regions like Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, and Clare Valley—places where a glass of wine comes with a story. Beyond wine, however, Adelaide also offers a laid-back coastal lifestyle, vibrant food markets, wildlife-rich islands like Kangaroo Island, and a cultural calendar packed with festivals, arts, and music. It's also less crowded compared to larger Australian cities, arguably more immersive, and deeply local.
The 15-hour flight to Adelaide will operate on a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, with 257 seats—including 48 in United Polaris Business Class and 21 in United Premium Plus. United will operate three flights per week until March 2026, with the possibility to increase flights in the future.
With the new route, United has become the only airline with nonstop service to four Australian cities (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Adelaide), offering travelers between the two countries more routes than any other airline.
Team USA Announces Flag Bearers for Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony
Team USA has officially revealed who will lead the American delegation into the spotlight at the Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony.
On Tuesday, the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee announced that Olympic gold medalist Erin Jackson and bobsled pilot Frank Del Duca will serve as the nation’s co-flag bearers at the Milano Cortina Games.
The announcement was first shared on Team USA’s Instagram account and later confirmed by the USOPC. The decision was made through a vote by fellow Team USA athletes, making the honor even more meaningful for both competitors.

Jackson and Del Duca now become the second American duo to share flag-bearing duties at a Winter Olympics, continuing a recent tradition of dual leadership on the world stage.
Erin Jackson enters the Milano Cortina Games as one of the most recognizable faces in American winter sports. The 33-year-old speed skater captured gold in the women’s 500 meters at the Beijing 2022 Olympics, making history as the first Black American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in speed skating. That victory also ended a 20-year drought for American women in the event.
View this post on InstagramJackson’s journey to Olympic success has never been simple. She nearly missed the Beijing Games after falling at the U.S. Trials, only qualifying when teammate Brittany Bowe gave up her own spot. Jackson made the most of that second chance, winning gold by just 0.08 seconds. She will compete again in the 500 meters and 1,000 meters at Milano Cortina.
Frank Del Duca brings a different, but equally compelling, story to the Opening Ceremony. The 34-year-old bobsledder will be competing in his second Winter Olympics, after debuting at the Beijing Games in 2022. Del Duca finished outside the top ten in both the two-man and four-man events four years ago, but his career has climbed steadily since then.
Del Duca, a sergeant in the U.S. Army, began as a high school state champion in alpine skiing before transitioning to bobsled in 2015. After joining the Army in 2019, he was selected for the World Class Athlete Program, which helped him balance military service and elite competition. His recent results include fourth-place finishes at the 2025 IBSF World Championships and consistent top-seven placements during the World Cup season.
He will also make history in Milan as the first bobsledder in 70 years to carry the U.S. flag during an Opening Ceremony. With the Games being held in Italy, the moment holds special meaning for Del Duca, whose family is of Italian descent.
The Milano Cortina Winter Olympics will feature nearly 2,900 athletes from around the world competing in 116 events. Team USA is expected to send around 230 athletes and enters the Games with a total of 330 Winter Olympic medals won through Beijing 2022.
As the Opening Ceremony approaches, Jackson and Del Duca will lead Team USA into the stadium, carrying not just the American flag, but the weight of shared pride, resilience and years of dedication.

What Happened to Fruitopia? (And the Secret Places You Can Still Find It)
The ’90s birthed an electric mix of vibrant brands, extreme sports and musical icons unlike any other decade. Right in the middle of it all came Fruitopia, the “real” juice alternative to soda that quickly took the world by storm. If you were anywhere near a vending machine between 1994 and 2004, there’s a good chance Fruitopia was faithfully in your beverage rotation.
Disappearing from the spotlight just as quickly as it arrived, Fruitopia carved out a special place in ’90s nostalgia as a cleverly marketed, free-spirited brand that rose fast in popularity before seemingly vanishing into thin air. What really happened to this hippie-adjacent, kaleidoscope-colored beverage from arguably the most copied decade of modern pop culture? Follow along to find out.
What Exactly Is Fruitopia?Fruitopia is a fruit-flavored beverage that launched in 1994 in Snapple-style glass bottles, manufactured by Coca-Cola and released under the Minute Maid banner. The ’90s were in the middle of a full blown health-food craze, which opened the door for smarter alternatives to soda. Like Snapple, Fruitopia sold itself on its supposed health benefits and even coined the slogan: “For the mind, body and planet.”
For a minute, Fruitopia dominated in popularity, becoming a go-to beverage choice for kids, adults, students, action sports enthusiasts, music festival-goers and anyone looking for a fruity refreshment to complement their day. Along the way, it made the controversial jump from glass bottles to plastic, but still managed to cement itself in ’90s lore.
How Fruitopia Took Over the ’90sThroughout its nearly decade-long run, Fruitopia carved out a space among the soda and juice giants of the ’90s with an advertising campaign that leaned into the era’s hippie revival. Its commercials featured kaleidoscopic, trippy visuals and dreamy music from artists like Kate Bush and The Cocteau Twins, all while promoting a “for the mind, body and planet” ethos.
The brand also leaned heavily into whimsical catchphrases like “Apples and pineapples don’t fight in fruit integration, people could learn a lot from fruit” and “If your mouth can’t say something nice, put something nice in it,” giving Fruitopia a playful, free-spirited personality that resonated with a generation looking for something different from mainstream sugary drinks.
Fruitopia’s popularity skyrocketed so much that, thanks to its quirky personality and bold marketing, it found itself in McDonald’s drink fountains and dedicated vending machines across the country.
Juice, Soda or Something Else Entirely?Since Fruitopia took a hard stance as an alternative to soda, it’s actually non-carbonated and much closer to a juice. That said, it’s not technically pure juice either, since other ingredients are mixed in, like high fructose corn syrup, natural and artificial flavors and citric acid. It’s also worth noting that while it is caffeine-free, the sugar content clocked in at roughly 20 to 31 grams per cup depending on the flavor.
Speaking of flavors, this is where Fruitopia really leaned into its new-age hippie identity. Flavors like Strawberry Passion Awareness, Kiwiberry Ruckus, Beachside Blast Fruit, Blueberry Watermelon Wisdom, Orange Undercurrent, Tangerine Wavelength, Raspberry Psychic Lemonade, Fruit Integration, Cherry Vanilla Groove and Grape Beyond all blessed customers’ taste buds during Fruitopia’s legendary 1990s run.

Why Fruitopia Eventually DisappearedAs trends shifted throughout the decade, Fruitopia found itself pivoting away from its new-age image and leaning further into the growing popularity of action sports. New flavors like Beachside BLAST and Citrus EXCURSION became the norm, but the shift came alongside declining sales and increased competition from brands like Snapple and Sobe as the ’90s wrapped up and the early aughts took over. By 2003, Fruitopia was fully discontinued in the United States, lingering mostly as a Canadian offering.
The Secret Places You Can Still Find Fruitopia TodayAfter being discontinued in the U.S., Fruitopia didn’t disappear entirely. A handful of its most popular flavors were repurposed under the Minute Maid umbrella, mostly popping up in school vending machines and fountain service. Drinks like Minute Maid Raspberry Lemonade and Strawberry Punch have roots that can be traced directly back to Fruitopia favorites like Raspberry Psychic Lemonade and Strawberry Passion Awareness.
But if you’re trying to get your hands on the real deal without taking a trip to Canada, you can still find it online, albeit at a high ticket price. Amazon currently sells a four-pack of one-liter cartons for around $38, while Walmart lists a single one-liter carton for about $17.99. And if you do find yourself north of the border, most McDonald’s locations in Canada still have Strawberry Passion Awareness on tap in their fountain machines as we speak.
Heck, one Reddit user even claimed their local McDonald’s in Chattanooga, Tennessee still has it. So if you’re willing to do a little legwork, you might just be rewarded with a fruity surprise. Otherwise, why not join the fight to bring Fruitopia back to America by signing the official petition, which currently has more than 1,700 signatures and counting.

Caraway Dropped a 'Dinner for Two' Bundle That's Perfect for Valentine's Day
Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.
Valentine's Day is the perfect excuse to slow down and enjoy a quiet evening with someone special. From cooking together to creating a cozy at-home atmosphere, the focus is on intimate, high-quality experiences that make the day feel memorable. Whether it's a romantic dinner, a movie marathon or a stargazing session, small gestures can make a big impression and turn an ordinary night into something extraordinary. For those planning a culinary-focused celebration, having the right tools can make all the difference in preparing dishes that feel elegant yet manageable.
Caraway's new Dinner for Two Bundle is designed specifically for couples who want to enjoy a home-cooked meal without the stress of oversized cookware. The nine-piece set comes in Cream, Navy, Gray, Sage, Perracotta and Marigold and includes ceramic-coated mini cookware, a small baking sheet and a four-piece mini utensil set. Each piece is sized for smaller portions, making it easy to prepare meals such as pan-seared scallops, steak au poivre, mushroom risotto, or lobster tails this Valentine's Day. Yum!
Reviewers love the mini pots and pans for their non-stick surface, ease of cleaning and versatility, calling them "probably our most frequently used pot and pan" and praising them for requiring little to no oil.
Dinner for Two Bundle, $390 at CarawayCaraway
The bundle is thoughtfully crafted without PFAS or plastic, giving couples a healthier way to enjoy cooking together. To keep the ceramic coating in top condition, hand-wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge, and avoid metal utensils and the dishwasher. Cooking on low-to-medium heat and letting the cookware cool before washing helps prevent damage, and using the included organizers keeps everything neatly stored. For deeper cleaning, a mixture of baking soda and vinegar works wonders.
Pairing the Dinner for Two Bundle with a carefully planned menu can make Valentine's Day at home feel like a special occasion. Simple sides like roasted asparagus, a fresh Caesar salad or buttery dinner rolls complement indulgent main dishes. Finish the evening with lava cakes, chocolate-covered strawberries or any dessert that feels luxurious but easy to prepare together.
While Caraway pans are considered an investment, their elegant design, safe ceramic coating and excellent heat distribution make cooking more enjoyable. The Dinner for Two Bundle lets couples focus on the experience rather than cleaning up oversized cookware, making Valentine's Day meals less stressful and more memorable.
Toby Keith to Receive Major Honor in Home State Alongside Kenny Rogers and Ed Harris
Toby Keith’s strong influence continues to be felt around the country long after his untimely death. The late country music icon has received numerous posthumous honors and is now set to receive another, this time, in his home state of Oklahoma.
Keith, along with his fellow late Country Music Hall of Famer Kenny Rogers and acclaimed actor Ed Harris, is among the 2026 inductees at the 65th annual Western Heritage Awards, hosted by the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. The upcoming ceremony, set to take place this Spring in Oklahoma City, will include a presentation of special honors, where the “Red Solo Cup” singer/songwriter will be given the Special Directors’ Award.
Keith’s Daughter Shared a StatementKrystal Keith, the legendary country artist’s daughter, spoke on the family’s behalf, sharing gratitude following the announcement.
View this post on Instagram“This honor reflects the life my dad lived and the values he stood for,” she said in a statement, according to Wide Open Country. “We’re grateful to the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum for recognizing his place in history and how his career served and celebrated the heritage of the country and the Western way of life.”

In addition to their inductions, Keith, Rogers, and Harris will each receive a Wrangler Award, a bronze sculpture of a cowboy on horseback created by late Oklahoma artist Harold T. Holden.

Savannah Guthrie Directly Addresses Mom's Possible Kidnapper in New Video With Siblings
Savannah Guthrie and her two siblings have issued a new statement amid the ongoing search for their missing mother, Nancy Guthrie.
On Wednesday, Feb. 4, the Today show anchor, along with her sisterAnnie and brother Camron, uploaded a video message to Instagram to speak about their beloved mom, who has been missing for four days now.
In the solemn clip, Savannah, 54, directly addresses her mother's possible kidnapper, insisting that she and her siblings are "ready to talk" about potentially paying a ransom.
"Our mom is our heart and our home," Savannah says through tears in the video. "She is 84 years old. Her health, her heart, is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive. She needs it not to suffer."
"We, too, have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media," Savannah continued. "As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk, however, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated. We need to know, without a doubt, that she is alive, and that you have her."
"We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen," she added. "Please, reach out to us."

"Our mom is a kind, faithful, loyal, fiercely loving woman of goodness and light. She is funny and spunky and clever. She has grandchildren that adore her and crowd around her and cover her with kisses."
"She loves fun and adventure. She is a devoted friend. She is full of kindness and knowledge—talk to her and you'll see."
Savannah's older sister, Annie, then speaks in the video to say:
"The light is missing from our lives. Nancy is our mother. We are her children. She is our beacon. She holds fast to joy in all of life's circumstances. She chooses joy day after day."
"Despite having already passed through great trials of pain and grief, we are always going to be merely human, just normal human people who need our mom."
"Mama, mama, if you're listening. We need you to come home. We miss you."
At the end of the video, Savannah also took a moment to speak directly to her mom. She states:
"Mommy, if you are hearing this, you are a strong woman. You are god's precious daughter, Nancy. We believe and know that even in this valley, he is with you. Everyone is looking for you, mommy. Everywhere. We will not rest. Your children will not rest until we are together again.
We speak to you every moment and we pray without ceasing and we rejoice in advance for the day that we hold you in our arms again."
All three of the siblings then said in unison that they love their mother, while Camron also spoke up to tell his mom, "Stay strong."
Washington Post Editor Backs Jeff Bezos After Massive 'Painful' Layoffs
Jeff Bezos, the owner of The Washington Post, is taking some heat after the newspaper laid off hundreds of employees on Wednesday. But Matt Murray, the Editor in Chief, came to the billionaire's defense.
Murray, 59, called a meeting on the morning of Wednesday, February 4, in which he informed his employees that a number of them were losing their jobs due a company-wide “strategic reset,” prompting some backlash and conversation online.
"The first time I heard the words 'Save the Post’ used, it was from the mouth of Jeff Bezos," the Post’s chief editor told Fox News Digital during a phone interview on the same day as the layoffs. Murray added, "I think people have different definitions of what that means but together, we all share the common desire for a thriving Post that’s growing again, that’s on sounder financial footing and in a good position to become more relevant to people’s lives. And that's what we're all trying to get to."
Murray further defended the layoffs during the interview where he noted that The Post “will be better positioned right away to both find some ways forward for the company.” The editor then explained, “for instance, to have more ways to think about growth, and more resources to do that.”

In the days leading up to shake up, staffers at the paper frantically reached out to Bezos via X, asking the billionaire to save The Post and its employees. The outlet mentioned that a number of users signaled that Bezos—who has an estimated net worth of $250 billion—should be able to handle the financial blow in order to help employees keep their jobs.
Bezos has been the owner of The Washington Post since his holdings company, Nash Holdings, purchased the outlet in 2013 for $250 million.
The entrepreneur and founder of Amazon has not yet made a comment about the layoffs and has not responded to Parade’s request for comment.
'Greatest Songwriter on the Planet' Announces 2026 Tour Dates 28 Years After Critically Acclaimed Debut Album
When it comes to a musical pedigree, Rufus Wainwright's is more impressive than most. The Grammy-nominated musician, once called the "greatest songwriter on the planet" by none other than Elton John, is the son of folk icons Loudon Wainwright III and Kate McGarrigle...but now he's a renowned musician in his own right.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, his earliest memories involve singing with his mother, per The San Francisco Standard, and he's been making music ever since: His accomplishments include multiple critically acclaimed albums (beginning with his 1998 self-titled debut), two operas, and countless unforgettable performances...just to name a few. Now, East Coast fans will have a chance to see the beloved musician live onstage when he hits the road this April.
As the 52-year-old announced in a recent Instagram post, he'll be kicking off a brief run on April 14 in Pittsburgh at the City Winery (playing an early show and a late show). He'll play another show in Sellersville, Pennsylvania, the next day, before heading to Somerville, Massachusetts, for a show on April 17.
View this post on InstagramAccording to his official website, Wainwright also has a couple of NYC dates scheduled this winter, on Feb. 21 and March 12. The rest of his shows listed for 2026 at this time are in Europe. Tickets for the April shows go on sale Friday, Feb. 6 at 10 a.m. local time.
Rufus Wainwright released a Kurt Weill tribute album last yearAfter a near lifelong fascination with the work of German-American composer Kurt Weill, Wainwright released a tribute album with the Pacific Jazz Orchestra in 2025 titled: I'm a Stranger Here Myself — Wainwright Does Weill.
“I first came in contact with Kurt when I was about 12 or 13,” he said in a November interview with Americana UK. “I was at a record store and I saw an album with Lotte Lenya on the cover. It was really the photograph that got me first. I had to buy the record, went home and put it on. It was Kurt, of course, singing both the Berlin songs and also the American songs. What really got me was the variety in the types of music I discovered — cabaret, big band — it was such a rich landscape to investigate as a young, curious musician.”
“The songs of Kurt Weill have long haunted my imagination and remain solidly mysterious,” Wainwright continued, adding, “Be it the opening trap of ‘Mack the Knife’ or the closing explosion of ‘Lost in the Stars,’ this wondrous musical journey began, continues, and will never end.”
Fans are hoping Wainwright's musical journey will go on forever, too.

Calla Lily Unmasked on ‘The Masked Singer’ — And the Panel Was Split
This week on The Masked Singer, the competition continued to tighten as the remaining contestants returned to the stage with new performances and fresh clue packages. With emotions running high and the guessing game getting more precise, one masked singer ultimately received the lowest number of audience votes and was forced to unmask.
SPOILER ALERT: Read on to find out who was eliminated and revealed on tonight’s episode.
RELATED: Meet the Cast Competing on ‘The Masked Singer’ Season 14
Who Got Unmasked on 'The Masked Singer' Tonight?After the votes were tallied, Calla Lily was revealed as the lowest vote-getter of the night, ending her run on season 14.
Calla Lily’s journey has been one of the most emotional storylines of the season, with her clue packages centering on health struggles, motherhood, resilience, and a complicated but deeply meaningful relationship with her famous father. Her performances consistently leaned into vulnerability and strength, making her elimination one of the more bittersweet exits so far.
Also, that story about Madonna and Sean Penn was 100 percent true and even wilder than what the show depicted in the clue package.

Who Is Calla Lily on 'The Masked Singer'?Following her elimination, Calla Lily was unmasked and revealed to be Teddi Mellencamp, a Real Housewives star and daughter of rock legend John Mellencamp.
Before the reveal, the panel locked in their final guesses:
- Rita Ora framed Calla Lily’s story as one of survival and bravery, guessing Selma Blair, citing the emotional weight of her performance and the focus on doing everything for her children.
- Ken Jeong revisited an earlier anchor clue and referenced Anchorman, ultimately guessing Christina Applegate, whom he praised for her courage and talent.
- Robin Thicke went with Danielle Fishel, focusing on the tone of the performance and the long-running TV career clues.
- Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg connected the dots with precision, pointing to the diamond house key and the repeated references to Calla Lily’s father. She correctly guessed Teddi Mellencamp, tying the clues to John “Cougar” Mellencamp and Teddi’s public health journey.
Jenny’s guess proved spot-on, marking another strong read from the panelist as Teddi stepped out from beneath the floral costume. Once unmasked, Mellencamp’s reveal brought clarity to a clue package that had consistently emphasized perseverance, family, and growth. Her time on The Masked Singer highlighted not just her famous lineage but her own personal battles and reasons for stepping onto the stage in the first place.
With Calla Lily’s elimination, the competition narrows even further as the remaining masked singers fight for a spot in the next round—and the clues only continue to get trickier from here.

Law Enforcement Agents Spotted at Annie Guthrie's House, Mom Nancy Still Missing
Law enforcement agents have been seen at the house of Annie Guthrie amid the search for her missing mom, Nancy, according to photos and video obtained by TMZ.
Photos taken on Wednesday, Feb. 4, show several agents outside the Tucson-area home owned by Annie and her husband, Tommaso Cioni. The couple is reportedly the last people to see Nancy before she was abducted from her home early Sunday morning.
In one of the pictures, an agent can be seen wearing a shirt with an ICAC badge, which appears to be from Internet Crimes Against Children task force. The man is believed to be carrying a Cellebrite Universal Forensic Extraction Device, which can be used to access data from smartphones and SIM cards, according to the outlet.
However, the Pima County Sheriff's Department notes that detectives from multiple units are working on finding Nancy, and that an acronym or unit name on an investigator's shirt "does not mean" it is "indicative of a particular crime associated with this case."
Reporters outside the home also told TMZ that items were seized by investigators, though it is unconfirmed what, if anything, was taken.
RELATED: Sheriff Says He Believes Savannah Guthrie’s Mom Nancy Is ‘Alive’
On the evening of Tuesday, Feb. 3, NewsNation’s Ashleigh Banfield claimed that Cioni had been identified by police as a possible suspect in the case.
However, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos clarified that the police department has not identified a suspect or person of interest in this case. The department also said in a statement to TMZ that they’re “not confirming” Banfield’s report of Annie’s car being seized, noting they are “unsure” of where the reporter got her information.
Nanos also said that be believes Nancy is "alive" though three days have passed since she was first reported missing.
“We have nothing else to go on but the belief that she is here,” he said in an interview with NBC’s Liz Kreutz which aired during the Wednesday, Feb. 4 episode of the TODAY Show. “She’s present. She’s alive, and we want to save her.”

The FBI is working on the case and urges anyone with tips or leads to call 1-800-CALL-FBI in addition to the Pima County Sheriff’s Office number, 520-351-4900.
Nancy Guthrie is described as 5-foot-5 and 150 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes.

When you’re carrying a lot — whether you’re heading to work, class, or a weekend trip — it’s easy for essentials to disappear into the bottom of your bag. Most large totes don’t have enough pockets, which means you’re constantly digging around for your phone, keys, or charger. A well-organized bag makes everyday life smoother and saves you time when you’re on the go.
That’s where the teacher-approved Govco Large Capacity Tote Bag comes in. Right now, it’s on sale for 40% off at Walmart, bringing the price down from $50 to just $30. For a bag that’s built to handle daily wear and tear and actually keeps your belongings in order, that’s a deal worth grabbing.

Who Is Pangolin on ‘The Masked Singer’? Halftime Clues Make This One 'Ironic'
A new season of The Masked Singer means a new slate of celebrities hiding behind elaborate costumes—and a fresh wave of guesses from viewers watching at home. With season 14 officially underway, fans are once again trying to piece together the clues and figure out which famous faces are performing beneath the masks.
This week’s episode featured multiple returning performers along with the last wild card, giving the panel and the audience their first look at Pangolin—and immediately sending the guessing game into overdrive.
RELATED: Meet the Cast Competing on ‘The Masked Singer’ Season 14
Who Is Pangolin on 'The Masked Singer'?Pangolin’s costume blends medieval and athletic flair, featuring layered armor-like textures, a corseted bodice, knee-high boots, and a dramatic cape. The look feels part warrior, part performer—matching the competitive, driven narrative woven through her clue package.
Pangolin made a confident first impression with a playful, ironic performance of “Ironic” by Alanis Morissette, pairing sharp vocals with a self-aware story about proving doubters wrong. The performance leaned into storytelling over flash, suggesting someone used to commanding massive crowds rather than just a single stage.
RELATED: ‘Masked Singer’ Panel’s Dream Cast Includes a Few Truly Wild Ideas (Exclusive)
🔍 Pangolin’s Clues So FarPangolin’s first clue package was heavily rooted in sports, competition, and halftime spectacle:
- A football field setting.
- “Where I’m from is rich with American history and we all speak the same language: sports.”
- Said her family was obsessed with sports, especially her dad.
- Recalled being quizzed on Sunday starting lineups and always knowing the answers.
- A high school football game where the halftime show changed her life.
- A boyfriend who told her she’d never make it—followed by her proving him wrong.
- Declared herself the “halftime queen.”
- An astronaut leading a marching band.
- A sign reading “No Glass.”
- An awards envelope labeled “winner.”
- Said her first big win proved that passion and hard work pay off.
Taken together, the clues strongly point toward someone whose career is deeply tied to halftime shows, large-scale performances, and competitive success—particularly in sports-adjacent entertainment.
🎤 What the Panel Is SayingRobin Thicke praised Pangolin’s tone and control, noting how effortlessly she handled the song’s phrasing.
Rita Ora connected the astronaut clue to gravity imagery and guessed Sara Bareilles, citing her musical Waitress and songwriting background.
Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg focused on the “No Glass” clue and the emotional quality of the voice, guessing Christina Perri of “Jar of Hearts” fame.
Ken Jeong went big, suggesting Katy Perry, pointing to the astronaut as a possible MTV Moon Man reference—or even a nod to Perry’s recent space headlines.
RELATED: ‘Masked Singer’ Reveals First-Ever Twist That Changes the Game for Season 14
🧐 Our Early GuessThe emphasis on halftime performances made us immediately think of Gloria Estefan, who has performed at more Super Bowl halftime shows than anyone else except Justin Timberlake (they are tied at three each). But the sports stuff doesn't fit Estefan, so it's probably not her.
