Natasha Bedingfield is back on the charts in a major way nearly 25 years after beginning her music career.

The British singer-songwriter's debut album, Unwritten, has re-entered the Billboard Global 200 chart at No. 175, marking another chapter in the surprising revival of one of the most recognizable pop albums of the 2000s. The album previously reached a peak position of No. 20 on the chart and has now spent 62 weeks on the Billboard Global 200.

The chart return comes more than two decades after Bedingfield started her professional music journey in 2001 and more than 20 years after Unwritten was first released in 2004 in the United Kingdom.

The renewed interest has helped introduce Bedingfield's music to a younger audience while bringing longtime fans back to the songs that first made her a global star.

Released in September 2004, Unwritten became Bedingfield's debut studio album and quickly turned into an international success.

The record debuted at No. 1 on the UK Albums Chart and eventually earned triple platinum certification in the United Kingdom. By 2013, it had sold one million copies in the country alone. Worldwide sales later climbed to 2.3 million copies.

The album also reached the top 10 in several European countries and entered the top 30 in North America and Japan. In the United States, the album peaked at No. 26 on the Billboard 200 and later earned Gold certification.

Bedingfield co-wrote every song on the album while working alongside producers and songwriters including Danielle Brisebois, Guy Chambers, Steve Kipner, Andrew Frampton, Peter Wade Keusch and Wayne Wilkins.

Several singles from the album became major hits. "Single" reached No. 3 in the United Kingdom, while "These Words" gave Bedingfield her first UK No. 1 single. The album's title track, "Unwritten," became her highest-charting song in the United States, peaking at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and becoming the second most-played song on American radio in 2006.

The success of Unwritten also helped earn Bedingfield multiple Brit Award nominations and a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the title track.

The resurgence of Unwritten has been building for several years.

The title song gained renewed attention after appearing in the 2023 romantic comedyAnyone but You. It also spread widely across TikTok, where users embraced the song's uplifting message and memorable chorus, according to Irish Examiner.

The renewed popularity has translated into streaming growth, festival appearances and chart momentum for Bedingfield's catalog.

Today, Bedingfield has sold more than 20 million records worldwide and remains one of the defining pop voices of the 2000s.

With Unwritten once again climbing the charts and reaching new listeners around the world, the singer's biggest breakthrough album continues to prove its lasting appeal more than two decades after it first arrived.

Golf fans, get ready for a weekend of absolutely amazing gameplay! Scratch that. Movie, comedy, basketball, football, and hockey fans get ready for a weekend of absolutely amazing gameplay. The 2026 American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe just started, and you can watch the star-studded event through the weekend.

What is the 2026 American Century Championship celebrity golf tournament?

The annual golf tournament at Edgewood Tahoe Resort in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, brings together a wide-ranging group of celebrities from the worlds of film, TV, broadcasting, comedy, and sports. The event goes from July 8 to July 12. 

Instead of traditional stroke play, this tournament uses a Modified Stableford scoring system. Players are awarded points based on their score at each hole. In other words, the celebrities want to get the highest possible score. The system goes as follows: An albatross is worth 10 points, a hole-in-one is worth 8, an eagle is worth 6, a birdie is worth 3, a par is worth 1, a bogey is worth 0, and two points are subtracted for anything two over par (or worse).

How can fans watch the American Century Championship?

Catch a glimpse of the celeb-packed golf tournament this weekend (July 11 and 12) on NBC and Peacock. You can also watch special sneak peeks on the American Century Championship Instagram page. 

Molly Shannon looks ageless on the red carpet, and the comedy icon has the perfect sidekick: Her rising star daughter, Stella Shannon Chesnut.

The Saturday Night Live icon, 61, who rose to fame playing iconic sketch comedy characters like 50-year-old dancer Sally O’Malley, exuberant Catholic schoolgirl Mary Catherine Gallagher, and “Joyologist” Helen Madden, went on to a successful film and TV career, with recent appearances in projects like The White Lotus, Only Murders in the Building, and The Other Two. But it’s her rising starlet daughter, Chesnut, that we spotted alongside Shannon at the premiere of Netflix’s The Hawk, who stopped us in our tracks! Stella, a stunning redhead, has several film and TV credits to her name. Clearly, this talented apple didn’t fall far from the tree.

What is The Hawk About?

Playing golfer Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins, Will Ferrell, 58, appears in the teaser trailer for The Hawk in a hot pink golf shirt with bright blonde curly hair that sticks out of a visor bearing his name. A voice-over can be heard saying, “This summer, a legend returns. An icon. A champion. An American hero.” As Hawkins mouths along, the voice-over continues: “His name: Lonnie ‘The Hawk’ Hawkins.”

Hawkins continues by saying, “That’s me. I’m him. That’s who they’re talking about. If you were wondering.”

Set to debut on July 16, the official description of the series reads as follows:

“Lonnie’s return to the world stage comes more than two decades after his seminal 2004 season. He’s bringing along his entire entourage: son Lance, a pro golfer in his own right; estranged wife Stacy; Lance’s fiancée, social-media influencer Natalie; and new caddie Sam. Of course, there are still old rivals left to vanquish: Golden Fisk, the pro golfer who’s beaten Lonnie twice; PGA TOUR board member Anton; even Stacy’s new beau, Radford. No one ever said this would be easy.”

Shannon has the role of his estranged wife, Stacy. Check out the teaser trailer below:

Who Else Stars With Ferrell and Shannon in The Hawk?

Ferrell, who has an endless array of comedy films under his belt, including Old School, Anchorman, Step Brothers, and Elf, is making a big change with his turn to television with The Hawk. However, he’s surrounding himself with several key players. While he and Shannon have reunited several times for film projects over the years, this is an exciting opportunity to see them together on the TV screen once again. The 10-episode comedy series, which is Ferrell’s first, will also star fellow SNL alum Chris Parnell (that’s Dr. Leo Spaceman for our fellow 30 Rock fans), as well as Luke Wilson and Fortune Feimster.

When needing the perfect jam during the hot summer months, soft rock duo Seals & Crofts developed "Summer Breeze" in 1972 after a few years of trying to get it off the ground.

By the early '70s, Seals & Croft had already released a studio album under Warner Bros. before they started working on their next release, Summer Breeze. Sadly, the duo had yet to make an impact on the charts with a standout single until they reworked a longtime idea, "Summer Breeze."

Jim Seals had written the lyrics to the track in 1970 about memories from his childhood neighborhood. The duo tried several times to bring the track to life, but couldn't until working on their fourth album. Session bassist Harvey Brooks would end up helping Seals & Crofts find the right rhythm.

"A very simple song about a man coming home from work and hearing the dog barking and things like that, and to a lot of people the song's about looking for security. Our meaning goes further than that, for a prison can be the prison of self and a person can become insecure and paranoid if he doesn't have a direction in his personal life," said Seals about the track, according to SongFacts.

"Summer Breeze" would end up being the hit that Seals & Croft needed when it reached No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No.4 on the Adult Contemporary chart. The song's climb up the charts wasn't smooth sailing when it was first released.

According to American Songwriter, the rock duo took promoting their track into their own hands while on tour. They hand-delivered "Summer Breeze" to the most popular DJs in Boston and soon got constant radio airplay.

Critics praised the track, calling it "one of those relentlessly appealing 1970s harmony-rock anthems." Two years later, it even led the Isles Brothers to release their own cover of the song with a harder rock edge. Their version did moderately well on the charts and landed at No. 10 on Billboard's Hot Soul Singles chart.

In the mid 1990's, "Summer Breeze" was covered again by the gothic metal band Type O Negative, with reworked lyrics by frontman Peter Steele. Seals & Crofts found the content of the lyrics distasteful, leading Steele to sing the original words of the song.

The 1972 track also gained resurgence decades later as a pop culture staple. It's been included in the films Dazed and Confused, Land of the Lost, Vacation, Vacation Friends, andTron: Ares. "Summer Breeze" can also be heard in certain episodes of the series Freaks and Geeks, Family Guy, The Mindy Project, and Lioness.

While Prince Harry's visit to the U.K. has been met with drama and tension amid estrangement with his family and a disappointing end to his lawsuit with the publisher of the Daily Mail, he managed to have a lighter moment on Friday morning in a TV segment with a fan-favorite interviewer.

In a segment on the U.K.'s morning show, This Morning, which was covering the preview event of the royal's Invictus Games in 2027, Prince Harry and TV personality Alison Hammond, known for her bubbly and energetic presence — and hilarious viral interviews with the likes of Harrison Ford, Ryan GoslingandHugh Grant — geared up to participate in a race briefing. The pair's interaction, however, stole the show.

View this post on Instagram

"Hi Harry!" she said giggling to the camera. "He's ignored me so far but I'm styling it out."

The royal then came over to her and gave her a big hug.

"Nice to see you," he said, which resulted in Hammond completely fangirling.

The clip, posted to Instagram, garnered tons of comments praising Hammond for her light approach to chatting with Harry amid the whirlwind of criticism he regularly receives from the press. The host and the royal also had an additional interview, where he said, "You're very excitable, I love that," and even complimented her hoop earrings.

Comments on the interview included:

• "Thank you, @ThisMorning, for covering Invictus so positively," one commenter said. "It can be difficult to watch Prince Harry face constant criticism from parts of the media, so it was refreshing to see such positive reporting for a change."
• "@alisonhammond55 LOVE how you called Prince Harry ‘babes’ haha legend," another said of her candor.
• "Fab interview. Real and relaxed. A lovely welcome home for Harry. Well done Alison!" added another.

The Invictus Games, founded by Prince Harry in 2014, is an international sporting event for wounded veterans. Chatting about how the organization has impacted its participants, Harry at one point interrupted himself and said, "I'm one of your secret admirers," complimenting Hammond, who has also hosted series TheGreat British Bake Off.

"By the way, my kids love Junior Bake Off, absolutely love it," he said. "It's far better than the grown-up version." To which Hammond invited him to appear on the show.

While it was notable that his wife Meghan Markle was missing from the event, amid ongoing concerns of security for his family, he did mention the former actress, along with their kids, at another point in the chat.

"I'm proud of them. They're proud of me. I love my family," he said.

The chummy interview concluded with Hammond inviting him over to her house later in the day and him promising that she's welcome at the Invictus Games next year, which will take place in her hometown of Birmingham, England.

"Of course you have to be there. I'd be disappointed if you weren't there," he said.

In a perfect world, you’d wake up in the morning right before your alarm goes off (hey, we said a perfect world), drink a glass of water and have a satisfying bowel movement before going about the rest of your day. It’s certainly better than when the urge to go number two hits at work or while you’re out and about. 

Not everyone is a morning pooper, and that’s okay. It’s considered normal to poop anywhere from three times a day to three times a week. If you’re falling in that range and aren’t experiencing any distressing G.I. symptoms, your pooping habits are nothing to lose sleep over.

But if you’re regularly dealing with constipation, that’s when it’s helpful to consider making changes to your diet. “Constipation is often multifactorial, but the most common lifestyle-related reasons are not getting enough fiber, not drinking enough fluids, not moving enough, travel or routine changes, ignoring the urge to go and eating a lot of low-fiber foods,” registered dietitian Johannah Katz, RD, tells Parade.

Besides these common reasons, Katz says that other potential causes of constipation include taking certain medications (like antidepressants or opioids), supplements (such as iron), having irritable bowel syndrome, hypothyroidism, diabetes, pelvic floor dysfunction and having an intestinal obstruction. 

Sometimes, something as simple as changing what you eat for dinner can help with morning constipation. With that in mind, keep reading to find out what registered dietitians recommend eating for your last meal of the day if you want to poop in the morning.

The Best Dinner To Help You Poop in the Morning

If you want to poop in the morning, there’s one nutrient you absolutely want to make sure you have on your plate at dinner: fiber. “Americans don't get enough fiber,” says Dr. Theresa DeLorenzo, DCN, RD, a registered dietitian and adjunct professor at Russell Sage College and SUNY Oneonta. Not getting enough fiber is a primary cause of constipation.

With this in mind, Dr. DeLorenzo recommends devoting one-fourth of your dinner to fiber-rich foods, such as vegetables and whole grains. Ideally, vegetables will make up half of what you’re eating for dinner. “Any vegetables work, and they can be cooked or raw. Corn works really well,” she tells Parade.

Besides vegetables, lentils, black beans, brown rice and quinoa are all fiber-rich foods to consider eating for dinner. “Beans and lentils are especially helpful because they provide both fiber and resistant starch, which can support stool bulk and gut bacteria,” Katz explains.

What you’re drinking matters too. Katz emphasizes that drinking enough water is key to avoiding constipation and keeping the digestive tract functioning properly. So, make sure you’re drinking water throughout the day, including with your dinner.

Now that you have fiber covered, Dr. DeLorenzo suggests making sure your dinner includes protein. Some fiber-rich sources already cover this base. (Lentils, beans, chickpeas and tofu are all high in both protein and fiber.) Lean protein and seafood are great protein options too.

After dinner, Katz says that it can be helpful to have a kiwi for dessert; the fruit is notorious for helping with constipation in a gentle way. 

Foods and Drinks To Skip at Dinner To Avoid Morning Constipation

Similarly to how some foods can help constipation, some foods can make it worse. Both registered dietitians say that alcohol can be disruptive to the digestive system. “Too much alcohol during and after dinner can lead to dehydration that can cause constipation. Have your glass of wine if you like, but make sure to have a glass of water after each glass of wine,” Dr. DeLorenzo says.

If your dinner only consists of simple carbohydrates and cheese (such as macaroni and cheese or pizza), you can expect to experience some constipation in the morning, according to Katz.

The same goes for meat-centric meals that don’t include any vegetables or other sources of fiber. One easy fix: Mix zucchini noodles in with your pasta. That way, you can still have your cheesy pasta but you’re still getting some fiber.

Other Habits That Help With Constipation  

In addition to being mindful of what you’re eating, both experts say that finding a gentle way to move your body after dinner can help with avoiding constipation and support morning poops. This could look like going for a walk, or doing some light yoga or stretches.

“A gentle after-dinner walk can help because physical activity supports gut motility, which is the movement of food and stool through the digestive tract. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases recommends regular physical activity as part of constipation prevention and treatment. A 2025 study also found that walking increased markers of gut motility shortly after activity in healthy adults, although more research is needed in people with constipation,” Katz says. 

If you want to poop in the morning, your morning routine matters too.

“Eating breakfast can trigger the gastrocolic reflex, and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases notes that trying to have a bowel movement 15 to 45 minutes after breakfast may help because eating helps the colon move stool," she explains. "So the best strategy is usually a high-fiber dinner, drinking enough fluids, going on a short walk and having a calm morning routine where you give yourself time to go."

If you’ve increased the amount of fiber you’re consuming, are staying hydrated and are exercising regularly, but you’re still experiencing regular constipation after one month, Dr. DeLorenzo says that’s an indicator that you should see a gastroenterologist. That way, you can work together to pinpoint the cause and troubleshoot from there. 

Morning poops can’t happen if you’re not getting enough fiber at dinner, so if you want to go in the morning, up your intake of the nutrient. It’s the number one tip you’ll hear from any registered dietitian or G.I. doc.

Grier Henchy, the 20-year-old daughter of Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy, closely resembled her stunning mother during a rare red-carpet appearance with her dad.

Shields, 61, was younger than her daughter when she skyrocketed to superstardom. After starting her career as a child model, she had a major role in Louis Malle's Pretty Baby at just 11 years old. But it was her role in The Blue Lagoon, about two teens who were marooned on a tropical island as children, and then grew up and fell in love, that sent Shields into superstardom. Now, Grier is following in her mother's footsteps and cultivating a career all of her own. But in her latest appearance, fans can't believe how much she looks like her mom.

The Wake Forest University student hit the red carpet with her dad for the Los Angeles premiere of Netflix's The Hawk at Directors Village in Los Angeles, California. Looking stunning in a black silk slip dress, Grier sported the same long, brown locks her mother is known for.

Brooke Shields Is Still a Red Carpet Stunner

While Shields attended Princeton, she continued her career after completing her education. She had two successful NBC series, Suddenly Susan and Lipstick Jungle, and did a stint on NBC’s Law and Order: SVU in 2017. But no matter where Shields shows up, she shows off her smile with grace. The brunette beauty attended the Chloé Fall/Winter 2026-2027 show at Paris Fashion Week back in March and made it clear that as each year passes, she looks better and better.

Brooke’s Hulu Documentary

In 2023, Shields released a Hulu documentary, Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields. In the doc, she discusses how she felt that Blue Lagoon's director, Randal Kleiser, exploited her by promoting the movie as depicting her as “going from a child to a woman during the filming,” rather than her character going through that experience.

“They wanted to sell my actual sexual awakening,” Shields said in her documentary.

Sarah McLachlan is one of the most influential female artists in modern music history. Not only did she record Billboard soft rock hits such as ”Angel,” “Adia,” and the Grammy-winning “Building a Mystery,” but founded the free Sarah McLachlan School of Music in Canada and built the iconic Lilith Fair music festival, featuring all female artists, in the late 1990s.

More than 40 years after starting her music career, McLachlan, 58, is still on the road. She's currently on tour, playing dates in the Northeast U.S. in Boston, New Hampshire, and New York in the coming days.

But even music icons need a break. In July 2026, the beloved singer shared an Instagram photo as she took some well-deserved downtime at the beach.

In the photo, McLachlan was all smiles as she posed looking happy and healthy on an unidentified beach while wearing a blue swimsuit, a wide-brimmed straw hat, and a pendant necklace.

“Beach day! ❤️ XoS,” the three-time Grammy winner captioned the post.

Fans commented to tell McLachlan to enjoy her day, with some noting that the singer looked relaxed and “gorgeous" in the photo.

“Looks like you were ‘drawn to the rhythm, drawn to the rhythm of the sea,'” one fan wrote, referencing McLachlan’s 1992 song, “Drawn to the Rhythm.”

“Looking marvelous,” another added.

“There will never come a day where I will not love to see you happy 😃 🌹🤍✌🏻,” a third fan told the singer.

In 2025, McLachlan told New Beauty that she defines beauty by the way she feels. “Beauty to me is…how I feel in both my head and my heart,” she shared. “When I feel healthy and strong in soul and body, I feel beautiful.”

“The greatest thing about aging is…being solid in who I am and what I stand for,” she added.

The beach is McLachlan’s happy place

McLachlan has always had a love for the beach, so it’s no surprise that she chose to spend her day off there. In 2025, she told Zoomer that she owns a summer home in Tofino, B.C., and she spends time running on the beach and surfing.

“There’s nothing more beautiful than just bobbing up and down out there and feeling incredibly small.” She shared. “There’s just a beautiful moment of surrender when you get on a wave. It’s this brief moment of flow state defying the laws of gravity. It’s a little bit terrifying at times. I don’t tend to go out when it’s really big anymore because I just don’t want to get hurt. But a three- or four-footer with a nice, clean face, and I’m just so happy.”

Alexander has competed on other game shows as well, including Match Game, The $100,000 Pyramid, Celebrity Jeopardy and Bravo's Celebrity Poker Showdown. When speaking about his love of poker with BroBible, he said, “To me, poker is a social game, and I’m happy to be social when I’m at the table. It is a game of wits and skill. I’m happy to say to people, ‘I have a certain level of wits and skill.’ And I very openly say ‘I have no idea if (the wits) will hold up at this table.'”

According to PEOPLE, the other stars scheduled to appear on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire this summer include Colin Jost and Michael Che, Will Forte and Taran Killam, Michael Keaton and Jon Lovett, Tig Notaro and Pete Holmes, Brad Paisley and Clayton Kershaw, Michael Kosta and Wendi McLendon-Covey, Jesse Eisenberg and Paul Giamatti, Krysten Ritter and Sarah Shahi, Paul Scheer and Rob Huebel, Awkwafina and Paul Feig, and Billy Porter and Leslie Odom Jr.

In the '70s, women in rock music were few and far between, so when The Runaways entered the scene, they set an unprecedented benchmark for an entire industry.

The alt-rock band's drummer, Sandy West, has helped to pave the way for generations of females. Today, the iconic musician would have been 67.

Sandra Sue Pesavento, known professionally as Sandy West, was born on July 10, 1959 in Long Beach, CA. West co-founded The Runaways alongside frontwoman Joan Jett in 1975, when they were 15 years old.

Best known for their hit single "Cherry Bomb," the teenagers found chart success. The career-defining song peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Bubbling Under chart and dominated international charts, landing at the top spot in Japan.

The Runaways released four studio albums over the course of their career: The Runaways, 1976; Queens of Noise; 1977, Waitin' for the Night; 1977, and And Now... The Runaways; 1978. A live album came in 1977, titled Live in Japan, cementing the band as a huge international name.

In 2010, a biopic was released, starring Kristen Stewart as Jett, earning 4.68 million worldwide against a production budget of $10 million.

West died on October 21, 2006 from lung cancer. She was 47.

In a statement posted to The Runaway's website, Jett paid tribute to her late bandmate.

"I started The Runaways with Sandy West. We shared the dream of girls playing rock and roll. Sandy was an exuberant and powerful drummer," she said at the time, per Uncut. "So underrated, she was the caliber of John Bonham. I am overcome from the loss of my friend. I always told her, we changed the world."

Vocalist Cherie Currie also paid tribute, saying: "Sandy West was by far the greatest female drummer in the history of rock and roll. No one could compete or even come close to her."

A royal author revealed that it wasn't Camilla Parker Bowles who ultimately ended the marriage of then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana.

Ingrid Seward shared her insight from her many years of reporting on the royal family during a 2025 episode of A Right Royal Podcast. She believes that it wasn't the outside influence of Charles' ongoing alleged affair with Camilla that ended his and Diana's marriage.

Seward told podcast hosts Emily Nash and Andrea Caamano that she spoke to the late Princess of Wales just before her untimely death in August 1997. She shared that Diana told her it "wasn't Camilla" that ended her marriage.

"She said to me just before she died, 'It wasn’t Camilla that ruined our marriage. It was the people around Charles.'"

"And I could never unpick that comment and quite understand what it meant. But I also remember Diana’s father [John Spencer] saying how tricky the royal household was."

Diana was said to have felt isolated from Charles' friends and staff members, finding them too traditional and unwelcoming of her more modern approach to life. The couple's age difference was said to have led to incompatibility between the couple. Additionally, Charles' staff was said to remain fiercely loyal to the Prince and his established routines, and often treated the young princess with a dismissive attitude.

Diana was just 20 years old when she married into the royal family, even though she had been a part of their inner circle for most of her life. By contrast, Charles was 32 and well-established in his ways. Having already lived a life of his own, he was actively looking for a mother for his future children when the two wed.

However, their union was fraught with difficulties from the start. Royal biographer Penny Junor told History Extra, “I think Charles and Diana both knew they were making a mistake when they walked down the aisle."

Although he wed Diana, Charles never forgot the woman whom he left behind, Camilla, whom he considered a dear friend. Diana realized her husband still had deep feelings for his ex, but for the first six years of his marriage, Charles and Camilla remained platonic friends.

The couple tried to make their union work. Their sons, Princes William and Harry, were born in 1982 and 1984, and for a time, it was reported that the couple was happy.

Charles and Camilla rekindled their affair, and by 1987, Junor said the pair were romantically involved again. However, alleged infidelity on both sides led to the irreparable breakdown of the couple's marriage.

Charles and Diana separated in 1992. The Princess of Wales revealed in a 1995 BBC interview that there were "three of us" in her marriage "so it was a bit crowded." The couple finalized their divorce in 1996.

Kate Hudson had a lot to celebrate on Thursday, July 9, as her son Bingham turned 15. The Running Point actress took to Instagram to gush over her "beautiful birthday boy" in a sweet tribute alongside a carousel of photos.

"You brought your own rhythm to the world," Hudson, 47, wrote. "Sensitive, endlessly creative, and always you. What a joy it is to watch you grow into the person you're becoming. Happy birthday, my sweet Bing. I love you more than you'll ever know."

The post came on the heels of Hudson's stunning Greek summer getaway where she was joined by Bingham and other members of her family including her mom, Goldie Hawn, and longtime partner Danny Fujikawa. 

Hudson, who rose to fame when she starred as Penny Lane in the iconic musical film Almost Famous, shared a glimpse into their trip in multiple Instagram posts, calling Greece her "happy place."

The How To Lose a Guy in 10Days actress documented everything from sweet memories on a boat ride with her kids to a peaceful moment sitting on the beach with Fujikawa. 

Hudson is no stranger to sharing her life as a mom of three on social media and while her kids have certainly inherited her poise and creativity, she is hoping they find more to life than just chasing fame.

“Well, my thing is, if my kids drive or purpose is for fame and success, then it’s something that would feel like a failure of mine,” she told Fox News Digital earlier this year. “If that is how they equate feeling significant, then, you know, they’re being fed a lie.”

Hudson added: “So, for me, the most important thing for me with my kids is that they feel self-possessed, that they understand what really drives purpose, and what does a purposeful life look like for them, and where do they hold their values, right? What are those values and why? And if you value fame and success, we’d probably have a big sit-down."

If your favorite part of a Disneyland vacation is the world-class food lineup waiting just outside the theme park gates, your dinner plans for your next California trip are getting a serious injection of culinary star power.

Disneyland Resort has officially shared a first-look sneak peek inside its highly anticipated new dining jewel: Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby.

Scheduled to open its doors soon on the bustling west end of the Downtown Disney District, the all-new restaurant marks the multi-Michelin-starred chef’s very first foray into the Disneyland ecosystem.

And rather than delivering a standard, formal dining room, Ramsay is serving up a vibrant, beautifully styled British-themed gastropub that takes its direct inspiration from the electric energy of London’s iconic Carnaby Street during the height of the swinging 1960s.

“All eyes were on London in the 1960s, a full-on fantastic technicolour scene of people going out and having fun," Chef Ramsay shared about the design inspiration. "We are bringing those cool vibes to Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby. Stunning interiors, incredible food and great music, whether it's date night or dinner with friends or family, The Carnaby is going to bring the very best of cool Britannia to Downtown Disney District.”

The layout of the new hotspot is as clever as it is stylish. The restaurant is built directly above the recently opened, brand-new permanent home of the beloved Earl of Sandwich. Once you climb the stairs to the second level, you are instantly transported to a groovier time, surrounded by plush leather booths, bold British pop art, and a classic soundtrack of "British Invasion" rock bands echoing through the room. The space also features a lively central bar and two stunning outdoor terraces where you can sip cocktails while catching the warm Southern California evening breeze.

Naturally, the real headliner here is the menu. The kitchen will pay homage to elevated, comforting British classics, meaning you can finally sit down at Disney to enjoy Chef Ramsay’s legendary, melt-in-your-mouth beef Wellington, crisp and golden fish and chips, and his iconic, ultra-decadent sticky toffee pudding. To finish the experience, the pub will feature live music after dark on select evenings, making it a perfect spot to unwind after a long day of walking the parks.

Disneyland

While you wait for Ramsay's team to officially open the doors, the west end of the district has quietly rolled out a handful of brand-new, quick-service food additions you can try right now:

• The New Earl of Sandwich: Now officially open in its gorgeous permanent home right downstairs from The Carnaby, you can stop by to grab all-time hot sandwich classics like The Original 1762, The Full Montagu, or the famous Holiday Turkey on fresh-baked artisan breads.
• Big Boi Lumpia: The newest food cart to roll into the district, this popular Los Angeles-based favorite by Chef Barb Batiste is serving up authentic, crispy Filipino spring rolls. You can grab a mix of savory options or sweet dessert lumpia paired with signature dipping sauces and refreshing fruit juices.
• Happy Ice: Bringing a vibrant taste of Philadelphia-style Italian water ice to a dedicated kiosk on the west end, these refreshing frozen treats are made completely from scratch using real fruit and pure cane sugar with zero artificial dyes. It's the ultimate afternoon cooldown tool for hot summer days.

By blending high-profile, celebrity-chef dining rooms with quick, diverse grab-and-go snack carts, Downtown Disney is fast becoming a legitimate culinary destination all on its own. Whether you are craving an upscale date-night steak or a quick handful of crispy lumpia on your way back to the hotel, the new lineup ensures you definitely won't be leaving Anaheim hungry.

The divine women of Norse mythology weren't just queens or wives of the gods. They were fierce protectors, wise healers, fearless warriors, and powerful magicians who shaped the fate of both gods and humans. From Frigg to Syn, each birth month is matched with a Norse goddess that best reflects their cosmic makeup and personality.

Each Birth Month as a Norse Goddess

The Norse goddesses remind us that strength comes in many forms—some lead with wisdom, others with courage, compassion, or resilience. No matter your birth month, there's a legendary goddess whose story reflects a little of your own—and that's a connection worth celebrating.

January – Frigg

Frigg, known as the queen of Asgard, was respected for her wisdom, steady nature, and quiet confidence. Those born in January have that same calming presence. They don't rush into decisions, but are the ones friends and family count on when life gets messy, because they have a way of staying grounded when everyone else is losing their cool. Whether you're a determined Capricorn or an independent Aquarius, you tend to trust your own judgment and rarely follow the crowd just because everyone else does.

View this post on Instagram February – Freyja

Few Norse goddesses are as unforgettable as Freyja. She embodied love, beauty, magic, and courage, proving that kindness and strength can coexist. February personalities often have that same magnetic energy. They're compassionate, creative, and never afraid to follow their own path. Either an imaginative Aquarius or a gentle Pisces, you have a heart and originality that help you stand out from the crowd.

March – Eir

Eir was the goddess of healing and was respected for her knowledge and calm presence. March-born people are often the ones friends turn to for comfort or practical advice. They have a way of helping others feel safe without asking for recognition. As an intuitive Pisces or a bold Aries, you balance empathy with the courage to take action when it matters.

April – Skadi

Skadi loved the mountains, winter, and adventure, and she refused to let anyone decide what kind of life she should live. Because of this, she is one of the most independent figures in Norse mythology. April-born people share that fearless spirit. They enjoy challenges and don't shy away from carving their own path. Born under the confident Aries or steadfast Taurus, you find determination comes naturally to you.

May – Sif

Sif is remembered for her famous golden hair and was also associated with the earth, harvest, and abundance. May-born people have a gift for creating stability wherever they go. They're practical and dependable, and they appreciate life's simple pleasures. Whether you're a grounded Taurus or a curious Gemini, you blend common sense with natural charm.

June – Idunn

Idunn guarded the magical apples that kept the gods forever youthful. She represents renewal, optimism, and fresh beginnings. June-born people bring that same uplifting energy into every room they enter. Resonating with either adaptable Gemini or caring Cancer, you bring warmth and curiosity that help people feel at ease.

July – Fulla

Fulla served as Frigg's trusted companion and was known for her loyalty, wisdom, and quiet confidence. July-born people often become the dependable friend everyone counts on through life's highs and lows. Born as a nurturing Cancer or a confident Leo, you're generous with both your time and your heart.

August – Thrud

The daughter of Thor, Thrud, symbolizes strength, courage, and resilience. August personalities rarely back away from a challenge and often inspire others through their confidence. With a bold Leo or a hardworking Virgo personality, you combine natural leadership with a willingness to earn your success.

September – Saga

Saga was the goddess of storytelling, history, and wisdom. She valued learning from the past while sharing knowledge with others. September-born people are thoughtful observers who notice details everyone else seems to miss. Attuned as an analytical Virgo or a balanced Libra, you enjoy understanding both people and the world around you.

October – Gefjon

Gefjon was associated with generosity, hard work, and the creation of something lasting. According to legend, she transformed land itself through determination and cleverness. October-born people often have that same ability to build strong relationships and meaningful lives. Either a graceful Libra or a passionate Scorpio, you know that lasting rewards are worth the effort.

November – Hel

Hel is one of the most misunderstood figures in Norse mythology. Rather than being evil, she ruled her realm with fairness and reminded everyone that life includes both endings and new beginnings. November-born people often possess emotional depth and remarkable inner strength. Whether you're an intense Scorpio or an adventurous Sagittarius, you're unafraid to face life's biggest truths.

December – Syn

Syn was the goddess of justice, boundaries, and standing firm when something wasn't right. December-born people usually know exactly what they believe and aren't easily talked out of it. They protect the people they love while keeping their eyes fixed on the future. Incarnated as an optimistic Sagittarius or a disciplined Capricorn, you draw on your honesty and determination to overcome almost anything.

Showtime's hit comedy-drama Shameless was the talk of the town throughout its 11-season run, but actor Emmy Rossum is clearing the air on the truth behind why she left before the finale.

Rossum played the title role of Fiona Gallagher, the matriarchal sister raising her siblings in the South Side of Chicago. After nine seasons, the series announced in 2018 that the actor would be exiting the series, with rumors circulating that it was due to her decision to start a family.

In an episode of Call Her Daddy, Rossum reveals that the common misconception couldn't be farther from the truth. In fact, she was supported in her decision to leave by the Shameless showrunner himself.

"I think a common misconception is I left to go have babies," she said. "That could not be further from the truth. I left to go make the show I had been developing that our showrunner John Wells had encouraged me to kinda get in the driver’s seat of my own career and make my own shows and make things."

The actor adds that she had started her production company, Composition 8, in 2019 and had begun working on her 2022 drama series, Angelyne. That's when Rossum was offered to return to Shameless for two more seasons, but she denied the offer. Shameless would run for those two seasons before coming to an official end in 2021.

Rossum reveals that she didn't leave Shameless easily and "wanted to stay in the job. I loved the job." For the actor and singer, there wasn't much left to explore from her character, and she felt "beholden" to move on with the series she was working on.

"I wasn’t walking away from the job. I loved the job until it felt like there wasn’t enough juice to squeeze out of the lemon," she explained.

Despite leaving Shameess with a heavy heart and with "a lot of grief and sorrow," she was really excited to embark on a new chapter of her life and career. After the Showtime series Rossum's Angelyne was released on Peacock, where she served as its executive producer and its main star. She would also star in the psychological thrillerThe Crowded Room oppositeTom Hollandand will soon star in the crime drama Furious.

The Duke of Sussex, 41, was spotted solo at Birmingham’s National Exhibition Centre on Friday, July 10, where he reunited with former Invictus Games competitors to preview some of the new sports set to debut at the 2027 Games. Wife Meghan Markle was not present for the outing, though Prince Harry appeared to be in great spirits, flashing smiles as he dove into the action alongside the athletes.

Footage on social media showed Harry getting into the spirit of competition: trying his hand at wheelchair rugby, pickleball, and Laser Run, two of the newest additions to the Invictus Games lineup. The Birmingham NEC will serve as the official host venue for the Games, which are scheduled to run July 10–17, 2027. Founded by Harry in 2014, the Invictus Games bring together wounded, injured, and sick military personnel and veterans from around the world for an international sporting competition.

The upbeat Birmingham appearance comes amid a turbulent stretch for the Duke. Harry’s spokesperson confirmed on Monday, July 6 that, following RAVEC’s (Royal and VIP Executive Committee) decision not to provide security for his family, Harry spent last week making alternative security arrangements before formally accepting an offer of accommodation from Buckingham Palace only for that offer to reportedly be withdrawn. “It is therefore disappointing that the offer has now been withdrawn,” his team said in a statement, adding that it was “unclear why, having formally accepted the accommodation offer, it has now been withdrawn at the last moment.”

Harry’s team also suggested that his recent legal defeat against Associated Newspapers Limited (publisher of the Daily Mail) may have played a role in the sudden reversal. Harry lost his phone hacking case against the company on Tuesday, July 7. BBC and ITV News sources, however, claimed that Harry had simply accepted the Palace’s offer too late.

Despite the drama unfolding behind the scenes, Harry’s commitment to the Invictus Games mission appeared front and center in Birmingham and judging by his pickleball game, he may be ready to compete himself.

Dustin Hoffman is known as one of the world's most talented actors, but it's safe to say his favorite role is husband.

The actor, 88, who is known for iconic films like Kramer vs. Kramer, Rain Man, The Graduate, and Midnight Cowboy, headed to the 2026 Wimbledon Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, England, on Friday. But it was the sweet sight of Hoffman's wife, Lisa Hoffman, holding her husband's hand as the duo looked quite stylish in Ralph Lauren that caught our eye. Strolling into the tennis competition, the couple, who have been married since 1980, looked happier than ever.

How Did Hoffman Get the Role in The Graduate?

Over the Fourth of July weekend, Hoffman made an appearance at the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival (KVIFF) in the Czech Republic, and responded honestly when asked how he nabbed the iconic role of Benjamin Braddock in 1967's The Graduate.

“It was an accident. Mike Nichols was the director of the moment. He was like Steven Spielberg today," Hoffman shared, The Hollywood Reporter noted. “He had spent almost two years looking for this person that was to be the graduate, and after two years, I know this because he wrote it later in his autobiography: he was willing to say we can’t make it, and he was going to not make the film.”

However, Hoffman was in luck. On the last day Nichols was supposed to see people, it was his and Katharine Ross’ turn. Ross, of course, nabbed the role of Elaine Robinson in the beloved movie.

“Had we been there two years before, we would not have gotten the role,” Hoffman added.

Of course, the dynamic duo went down in history in the film, particularly for that ending scene. We won't spoil it for you if you haven't seen it... but we do encourage you to watch it.

Check out the trailer for the beloved Nichols film, which stars Hoffman, Ross, and the electric Anne Bancroft as Mrs. Robinson, below:

Valerie Bertinelli starred in six seasons of Hot in Cleveland with the legendary Betty White, who died in 2021 at the age of 99. Bertinelli recently spoke about some of her favorite moments in the series, which included a classic blooper. "I defy anyone to watch that and not start giggling," Bertinelli said when speaking about the scene.

The actress told PEOPLE that she loved “anytime that we could make Betty giggle and anytime that Betty could just go up and giggle. I mean, I think it’s a classic by now when you go to YouTube, and you watch ‘Bender Over’ — that was her screen name — and we never got through that scene.”

Bertinelli continued, “To make Betty laugh for all of us was the epitome. And I know Jane [Leeves] enjoyed that, as did Wendie [Malick] and everybody.”

Bertinelli has been co-hosting the podcast, “Still Hot in Cleveland,” along with the show’s executive producer, Todd Milliner. When speaking about why she started the project, she said, “It’s a way for me to connect with all of the people that I had so much fun with for five years. Especially being able to do it with Todd Milliner, who was the executive producer... We’ve tried to sell other shows after Hot in Cleveland, and we’re still working on it, but this is so much fun, to just hang out and gab and laugh with all the people that we both loved.”

When describing how White would have behaved if she had the chance to appear on the podcast, Bertinelli said, “First of all, she would have my dog on her lap and all of my cats surrounding her. Nelson, who’s no longer with us, she named Nelson first, and she also named Luna, my dog. So she would definitely enjoy that.”

“Still Hot in Cleveland,” which premiered this June, revisits the iconic sitcom’s stories and themes. It includes celebrity guests who were part of the original cast and crew, and goes over answers to fan questions.

“There’s never been anything but joy when I think of everything Hot in Cleveland,” Bertinelli told PEOPLE.“I mean, we had so much fun. And I knew at the time, I said, ‘This will never happen again’ in my head. Every morning when I would wake up, I’m like, ‘I get to go to work, I get to hang with Betty, I get to hang with Jane and Wendy and Suzanne and Michael Berger and Todd and all the writers and everybody on the crew we just made lifelong friends with.’ “
