Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers had one of the most beloved partnerships in country music. From their No. 1 hit with “Islands in the Stream,” to songs such as “Real Love” and “The Greatest Gift of All,” the music icons had an undeniable chemistry that was unmatched.

The duo also toured together, and one unforgettable moment from a 1985 performance is gaining new attention following Parton’s death on Aug. 25.

In a widely resurfaced clip making the rounds on social media, Rogers is seen onstage alone during a 1985 concert. He sings the first verse of the Bob Seger classic, “We’ve Got Tonight,” which he first covered in 1983 as a duet with Sheena Easton.

But Parton then walks out from offstage, dressed in black sequins and flanked by bodyguards, to sing the second verse, which starts with the line “Deep in my soul.”

Rogers’ reaction is priceless as he bites his bottom lip and smiles with joy, his face lighting up at the sound of his friend’s beautiful voice coming in his direction. He helps Parton onstage where they continue the song, but the blonde powerhouse isn’t done surprising fans yet. At one point, she changes the song’s “who needs tomorrow” lyric to “who needs Sheena Easton?”

Fans on social media have been turning to the clip in the days since Parton’s death, with many reflecting on their special bond and commenting on the look on Rogers’ face when Parton starts singing.

“His look,“ one fan wrote of Rogers’ reaction to Parton’s entrance.

“The grin on his face when she starts to sing makes me just weep,” another wrote on Instagram.

“The friendship they had was so strong and special,” a third fan added.

Rogers and Parton’s chemistry never translated into a real-life romance. When they first performed together in the 1980s, both were married to other people and were respectful of each other’s marriages.

In an interview several years before his 2020 death, Rogers told AXS TV’s Dan Rather that he had a unique bond with Parton that never went beyond flirting.

“I met her husband [Carl Dean] first of all, and I was married to [my fourth wife] Marianne through that whole time,” Rogers said. “What we did is we flirted with each other for 30 years, and it was much more electric. I think once you consummate a relationship like that, it loses something. So we did some massive flirting in front of the nation, but there was never anything more than that.”

Following Rogers’ death in 2020, Parton told People magazine she missed him immeasurably.

“Kenny — he was very, very dear and special and I never get tired of hearing us sing, all the years that we were on stage together,” the “Jolene” singer shared. I never got tired of Kenny’s voice.”

Olivia Rodrigo had a very special surprise in store for fans at her inaugural Daisy Chain Fields festival.

The singer brought out rock legend Stevie Nicks during her headlining set at the festival in Irvine, California, where the two joined forces for a rendition of Fleetwood Mac‘s 1975 classic “Landslide.” Trading verses and dancing together under the lights of the Great Park amphitheater, it was the kind of once-in-a-lifetime onstage moment that left the crowd stunned.

Nicks clearly felt it too. “She reminds me of me, when I was her age a hundred years ago,” she told the crowd, adding that she was “somewhat awestruck” watching Rodrigo pull off an entire festival with such grace. Coming from the Gold Dust Woman herself, that’s about as high a compliment as it gets.

For Rodrigo, the moment was years in the making. In a 2023 Rolling Stone cover story, she recalled watching Nicks perform “Landslide” to a packed stadium and feeling something shift inside her. “That heartbreak that you feel when you’re young, thinking about singing that song when I’m Stevie Nicks’ age … it’s really powerful,” she said. On Saturday night, she didn’t have to imagine anymore.

The duet closed out a headlining set that also featured Daisy Chain’s founding inspiration, Sarah McLachlan, joining Rodrigo for “Building a Mystery” and “Angel”  the latter dedicated to the recently departed Dolly Parton and Alanis Morissette delivering a roof-raising “Ironic.” The all-women festival, inspired by McLachlan’s Lilith Fair, donated $10 million to nonprofits supporting women and girls.

“I feel like I’m dreaming,” Rodrigo told the crowd. “This is the best day of my f—in’ life!” With Stevie Nicks by her side for “Landslide,” we can relate.

Planning a trip for early fall? Before you finalize your outfits, it’s worth making sure you have the right walking shoes. A comfortable pair of sandals can make all the difference on long sightseeing days, cruise excursions, and airport travel — especially when you want something comfy enough to walk in all day but still cute enough to wear out to dinner later. 

Right now, shoppers are eyeing the Clarks’ Calenne Clara Sandals, a comfortable yet stylish option designed for long days on your feet. The supportive wedge style is currently marked down to as low as $45 on Amazon, a solid 53% discount from its original $95 price. They’re available in three colors: black, bronze and navy — so they can match with just about anything. Sizes range from 5 to 12, including half sizes and wide options.

A dependable pair of walking sandals can make a huge difference while traveling, especially when your itinerary includes long sightseeing days and evenings out. Shoppers say the Clarks’ Calenne Clara Sandal delivers all-day comfort and versatile style, making it an easy addition to any summer packing list.

The stylish sandals feature a strappy silhouette with subtle metallic stud accents and a supportive 2.25-inch wedge heel that adds a little lift without sacrificing stability. They’re also built with comfort in mind, thanks to Clarks’ materials — a hidden high-rebound foam inlay is designed to absorb impact and provide support with every step. 

Shoppers who spend hours on their feet said the comfort really stands out. “They were extremely comfortable and soft to walk on,” one reviewer shared, while another noted that the sandals offer “good arch support.”

Another detail shoppers appreciated is the adjustable fit. With three hook-and-loop straps that can be tightened or loosened throughout the day, the sandals are easy to customize as needed. Several reviewers said this was especially helpful during travel and long walking days, with one noting the adjustability accommodated swelling, so they didn’t end up needing to pack a backup pair of shoes.

Travelers also noted that the sandals hold up well for vacations. One reviewer said they were “perfect for a ton of walking” during a trip to Greece and Egypt. Another shopper said the sandals “looked perfect with every outfit” making them a great staple to have in your suitcase.

Aaron Barrett is an iconic songwriter and frontman for the ska band, Reel Big Fish. He formed the group when he was only a teenager in high school. Today, he turns 52.

When asked whether there are any rules for what a Reel Big Fish song should sound like in an interview with The Indy Review, Barrett said, “I didn’t start a band so I could follow a bunch of rules! I’ve pretty much just always written songs that I felt like writing. They didn’t have to be ska or have horns or whatever (I’m just best at writing that kind of song). Every RBF album has a few weird experimental or just different or strange-sounding songs on it… at least a couple.”

Barrett also spoke with 100 Percent Rock about how much he enjoys touring and how important it is to their band. “We tour, we play, and it’s just what we do,” he said. “It’s what we love, and it’s definitely what keeps this band going. It’s what keeps us relevant with our fans. The constant touring, never letting them forget about us.”

He continued, “Reel Big Fish as a band have definitely built its reputation on its live show, and that’s proven to be very beneficial for us. There are a lot of fans that are more into the idea of writing music and making records, and we love that aspect of it too, but a lot of people don’t place a whole lot of emphasis on touring, and that’s sort of, like I said, that’s what a big part of this band is. And once again, going back to the internet, it’s certainly helped us reach an international audience that may have never been possible for us. As long as our music gets out there and people enjoy it, it definitely makes it worth it for us to just keep going and keep doing it.”

Reel Big Fish is known for both their original songs and their fun covers. Some of their most popular songs are “Sell Out,” “Take On Me,” and “Beer.” The band is still performing to this day and is set to attend Vans Warped Tour in Orlando this November.

Sometimes the unexpected outcome you didn’t want can still produce a positive result.

Melissa Joan Hart discovered that firsthand when she was just 10 years old. Before she became one of television’s most recognizable child stars, Hart landed a small role in the 1986 comedy Crocodile Dundee, but moviegoers never got to see her performance.

Hart recently looked back on the unusual credit during an interview with Page Six’s Virtual Reali-Tea, revealing that she still receives residual payments from the movie despite being cut from the finished film.

“I was in Crocodile Dundee, and even though you will not see my face in it – I was cut out – I still get my 26 cents every few months or something,” she told PEOPLE.

Her brief role was filmed for a scene in which a young girl skins her knee in Central Park and is helped by Paul Hogan’s title character. Although the scene ultimately didn’t survive the editing process, the experience gave Hart an early introduction to one of the less glamorous realities of being an actor.

“You find that you have a lot of rejection and you learn young that you have to let it go, and if you don’t have thick skin, you aren’t going to make it,” Hart said in a 2011 interview with SheKnows.

Hart in “Clarissa Explains It All” (1991)

That lesson would come in handy as Hart continued building her career. She eventually landed the starring role of Clarissa Darling on Nickelodeon’s Clarissa Explains It All, followed by the title role in Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Both shows became defining parts of Hart’s career, with Clarissa Explains It All running from 1991 to 1994 and Sabrina the Teenage Witch airing from 1996 to 2003.

Decades later, the little role that disappeared from Crocodile Dundee has still managed to follow Hart around in the form of those tiny residual checks. And Hart has a sense of humor about it. She joked that there’s even a Los Angeles bar called Residuals where performers can put their residual money toward drinks. 

Twenty-six cents at a time, not a bad return on a scene that never aired.

If you’re a Disney history buff or have strolled past the fortress walls of Adventureland in Disneyland Paris, you know that sound is everything when it comes to setting the mood. The music playing in the background does the heavy lifting, pulling you out of the everyday world and dropping you straight into a high-seas adventure before you even step into a queue.

Now, Disneyland Paris is proving that sometimes the best way to move forward is to look back.

As reported by Inside the Magic, the park has officially reversed a nine-year-old atmospheric change in a rare move, restoring its original 1992 opening-day Adventureland music loop and replacing the Hollywood movie scores that have played throughout the land since 2017.

A Nine-Year Cinematic Detour

Meghann Foye

When Disneyland Paris opened its gates in 1992, its version of Pirates of the Caribbean was widely hailed by theme park fans as one of the most immersive and atmospheric ever built. Back then, the surrounding walkways of Adventureland featured a rich, custom background music loop that set a mysterious, tropical, and untamed tone.

That changed in 2017 during a major park refurbishment. Leaning heavily into the massive success of the theatrical franchise, Disney updated the attraction to include Audio-Animatronic figures of Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow.

At the same time, Imagineers swapped out the original 1992 ambient area soundtrack for orchestral arrangements pulled straight from the cinematic film scores composed by Hans Zimmer and Klaus Badelt. For nearly a decade, the cinematic swelling of the movies became the default soundtrack for anyone grabbing a snack or walking toward the ride.

Bringing Back the Original 1992 Atmosphere

Theme park goers this summer caught an immediate difference in the air. Disneyland Paris quietly retired the film-heavy soundtrack and restored the land’s classic 1992 musical loop across Adventureland.

While Captain Jack Sparrow remains firmly in place inside the attraction itself, bringing back the vintage score outside the ride restores a subtle layer of the park’s original charm and identity. Rather than feeling like a continuous movie promotion, the area once again offers the eclectic, mood-setting soundscape that original visitors fell in love with more than 30 years ago.

Balancing Nostalgia and Modern Tech Across Disney Parks

The musical rollback in Paris highlights the delicate balance Disney strikes between honoring heritage and keeping classic attractions fresh. Over in California at Disneyland Resort, a recent update introduced a transforming figure that shifts from a living pirate into a skeletal form right before riders’ eyes using a blend of modern projection mapping and new Audio-Animatronic technology. At multiple parks, the historic auction sequence was also famously reimagined to transform the iconic red-haired character, Redd, into an independent pirate running the plunder trade herself.

As Inside the Magic Writer Sarah Larson wrote, “It’s a notable move because Disney doesn’t always reverse additions that have remained in place this long. Once an update becomes part of a land’s atmosphere, it can stick around for years or become the new normal for visitors.”

Larson highlighted how this deliberate step backward fits into the broader philosophy of how Disney maintains classic lands, noting that “The update shows how Disney approaches older attractions. The company often preserves recognizable settings and characters while changing elements it believes need updating.”

In this case, rather than treating every corner of the park as an extension of a modern blockbuster franchise, Disney recognized that Adventureland’s original identity had a timeless value worth protecting. For park purists and everyday visitors alike, hearing that 1992 soundtrack again proves that Disney is still willing to preserve opening-day atmosphere over pure movie synergy.

Peter Cunnah, the Northern Irish frontman for D:Ream, whose ’90s dance hits “U R the Best Thing” and “Things Can Only Get Better” became international hits and also found an audience on the U.S. dance charts, is turning 60 today, Aug. 30.

Showing no signs of slowing down, the singer-songwriter released his latest album, Do It Anyway, last year, but the road to 60 has been anything but smooth.

From meteoric pop success, a detour through addiction, then complete withdrawal from music before his triumphant return, Cunnah’s journey has been one of high highs and low lows. But it’s one he hasn’t shied away from sharing.

“I’d forgotten that when you get in a room with your friends, count to four and start playing, the religion of that moment is wonderful,” Cunnah told The Line of Best Fit in August 2025 about his time back in the studio. “You’re spiritual, you’re in communication, you’re in the joy zone.”

Cunnah’s story took a dark turn at the height of his success in the 1990s. In fact, following D:Ream’s split and the fading limelight, he was swept up in a destructive addiction to drugs and alcohol, which escalated to its worst point in 1997.

“I was watching things going on around me,” he said on the Field of Dreams podcast, per The Irish Sun. “I was turning on the TV, and I’m seeing Robbie [Williams, who toured with D:Ream when he was a member of Take That] with my haircut, my mic technique, and the frock coat singing ‘Let Me Entertain You.’ And for a moment there, I thought it was me.”

The two share similar facial features, styling, and swaggering frontman energy, so the story is easy to understand. But the lost grip on reality was actually what caused Cunnah to enter rehab.

“Eventually, you can get to a stage in your usage where the drugs are not working; you’re taking more to try and feel normal. And that’s bizarre,” he said. “I came out of that by just getting clean and going into rehab.”

Before the crash, Cunnah was riding high.

In the early ’90s, Cunnah met DJ Al Mackenzie in London’s club scene, Songfacts reported, and the two musicians formed the British dance-pop group D:Ream around the combination of Cunnah’s songwriting and Mackenzie’s dance-music sensibilities. Before launching officially, they had built up buzz through hyped appearances and remix work for major acts including EMF and Duran Duran.

In 1992, they made their D:Ream debut with “U R the Best Thing,” boosted by a famous remix from DJ Sasha. The song initially peaked at No. 72 on the U.K. singles chart before later reissues propelled it to No. 19 and, ultimately, No. 4.

A year later, they released “Things Can Only Get Better” to modest success. But after they landed a supporting gig with Take That on their massive U.K. tour, the track was remixed and re-released. It was that remix that shot to No. 1 in the U.K, stayed there for four weeks, helping elevate their debut studio album, D:Ream On Volume 1, toward platinum status.

“It was 11 years to overnight success,” Cunnah told MusicRadar.

The group rode the momentum with 1995’s World, which peaked at No. 5 on the U.K. Official Albums Chart. During their peak era, D:Ream secured a string of Top 40 hits, including “Shoot Me With Your Love” and “Take Me Away.” In 1997, they got another surprise, this time from the political world.

When the U.K. Labor Party adopted “Things Can Only Get Better” as its official theme song for Tony Blair’s successful general election campaign, the track was transformed from a dance banger into a historical political anthem.

“When you make a song, and it becomes big, people take hold of it, and you can’t control it,” Cunnah told The Line. “So in three decades, it’s gone from being a club come-together song, to a love song, to a protest song. I like that, because people will come and tell you they played it at their wedding. It’s even become a ‘Get well soon‘ song–people ask for it on hospital radio!”

Today, Cunnah remains active in the music world. In addition to the release of Do It Anyway, he’s performed several shows, including the iconic Glastonbury. It looks like things really did get better. Here’s to a happy and healthy 60th!

Diana, Princess of Wales, is known for many things, from her philanthropy and very public marriage to and split from the now King Charles III to her motherhood with William, Prince of Wales, and Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and tragic death nearly 30 years ago, on Aug. 31, 1997. In addition to her many accomplishments, life events and milestones, though, Princess Diana is also forever known for her sense of fashion that garnered considerable attention throughout her life and has continued to make her a fashion icon today.

Even among Diana fans and royal watchers, many of her most famous looks have only been seen on TV, on the covers of magazines or in old photographs, but now, a brand-new exhibit coming to the United States this year will allow guests to get an up-close look in person at some of the late princess’s most celebrated items. The exhibit, titled “Princess Diana: Love Life Legacy — A Life of Giving,” will open at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation’s Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum on Nov. 7 and will feature more than 700 artifacts from Princess Diana’s life.

Among the items to be on display are Princess Diana’s beloved “black sheep” sweater, the long black gown she wore when dancing with John Travolta, her wedding slippers and her “final goodbye” dress—the final gown she tried on before her death, revealed to the public for the first time—among many others.

In addition to these items of clothing, this exhibit will feature various handbags, shoes, jewelry, historical documents, handwritten letters, myriad personal possessions and more. Certain artifacts will be exclusive to the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation, but the “Princess Diana: Love Life Legacy — A Life of Giving” exhibit will go on tour elsewhere after departing The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum on May 31, 2027. Tickets for the exhibit can be purchased on the Ronald Reagan Foundation website and are available now.

Deborah Foreman starred alongside Nicholas Cage in the 1983 film Valley Girl. She played Julie Richman, and he was her love interest, Randy. Foreman retired from acting in 1991, but she recently spoke with PEOPLE about her time filming the iconic movie.

“I noticed when I look at it now, how I would initiate certain things, and it was just organic, that I felt very comfortable with Nick,” she explained. “I organically would hold him, or I would just… certain things I noticed in the film, we didn’t rehearse any of that.”

Foreman continued, “I’ve said this before out loud, and I’ll say it again, Nicholas Cage will be the love of my life between the words action and cut. I was gifted with something so extraordinary. As an artist, you’re like, ‘Wow, that doesn’t happen to everyone.’ It’s like, ‘Whoa, man, it was truly a special time in my life.’ Valley Girl is this beautiful love letter to first love, and I got to be a part of it.”

Foreman explained that she didn’t have to work to create chemistry with Cage. It was naturally there from their first meeting. “The chemistry, it was already there,” she said. “And when you have that kind of chemistry, creativity is just on fire.”

She continued, “I mean, you pull creativity from the field anyway. And so, when he would do something, and then it would inspire something in me, or I would do something, and it would inspire something in him.”

Foreman also spoke about the iconic song, “I Melt With You,” which was featured in the film. “That song is the song for that part of people’s lives back in the ‘80s,” she said. “It’s attached to a love story that is your first love in your life.”

Shoppers are super impressed with these hiking shoes, giving them an average rating of 4.5 stars on Costco.com for the women’s style. Some reviewers did think that they ran a bit large, but overall the feedback was super positive, especially for the arch support, breathability, price point and comfort level of the shoes.

“I bought these hiking shoes for a couple trips I’m taking later in the year. I honestly didn’t expect to be so impressed with these shoes, especially the quality of comfort and arch support. I haven’t used them for hiking yet, but I’ve been walking around in them for hours throughout the back of my property, and I like everything about them. If I had found these at $100 in a store, after trying them on and walking around in them, I definitely would have bought them, even at that price,” wrote one fan in a five-star review of the women’s hiking shoe style on Costco.com.

“I wore these for two hikes, and they provided excellent support. I was so impressed that I came back and bought three more pairs! I hike twice a week, usually about six miles each time on steep, hilly trails, and they’ve held up great,” said another happy Costco shopper in a five-star review on Costco.com for the women’s style of the hiking shoes.

When Cinnamon Toast Crunch hit grocery-store shelves in 1985, cereal was becoming much more than something kids ate quickly before school. The 1980s were an era when cereal companies started to focus on kid-focused breakfast cereals. They didn’t just focus on flavor. In the 1980s, cereal was an experience, featuring colorful boxes, memorable mascots and commercials that made cereal feel like a part of a daily ritual, not just something to grab before school. A new ranking names Cinnamon Toast Crunch the best cereal of the 1980s.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch made its grocery-store debut in 1984. General Mills created the cereal to deliver the taste of cinnamon toast in a crunchy cereal format. The cereal’s original squares were designed to look like tiny pieces of toast coated with cinnamon and sugar.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch may have been new, but it felt completely familiar, creating the ultimate comfort food that wasn’t reserved for just breakfast. Other than its familiarity, what Cinnamon Toast Crunch had going for it was that it felt like a treat without being marketed as a sugar cereal.

What’s more, you could eat it anytime.

For a generation of kids, cereal wasn’t necessarily a quiet meal eaten at the kitchen table while the family got ready for the day. For kids of the ’80s, and for a new generation of working mothers, cereal meant independence. It didn’t require preparation, cooking or a lengthy cleanup.

Kids could grab a bowl of cereal while watching cartoons on a Saturday morning, while teens could grab a bowl after school while waiting for dinner. Cinnamon Toast Crunch could serve as both breakfast and a sweet snack, neither of which needed Mom to prepare.

Long before kids and teens could zone out during breakfast scrolling TikTok on their phones, ’80s kids read the back of a cereal box, searched for prizes inside, and answered trivia questions or puzzles printed on the back of the box.

In the 1980s, cereal was more than breakfast. Cereal was entertainment. Forty years later, Cinnamon Toast Crunch is still as popular as ever. That’s because it doesn’t just taste like cereal; it tastes like being a kid.

“Sherry” was a 1962 song released by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons. It rose all the way to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained in that position for five weeks in a row. In 2023, the song was chosen to be preserved by the Library of Congress National Recording Registry.

According to SongFacts, the song was originally called “Terry.” However, producer Bob Crewe was not a fan of the title and had it changed to “Sherry” after Cheri Spector, which was one of his best friends’ daughters.

The lyrics were written by Bob Gaudio in less than 15 minutes. Gaudio spoke about their creation in an interview with NPR, saying, “I did it on the way just before going to rehearsal at Frankie’s. I sat at the piano; it just jumped out and actually put the lyrics as simple as they were because I didn’t have a tape recorder. And it was the only way I thought I could remember the melody. So if I had the lyrics, I’d sing it on the way down and retain it, and I did.”

Gaudio also spoke about working with Nick Massi. “Nicky was brilliant, and we put this together at Frankie’s kitchen table and worked,” he said. “He was kind of a savant, I would say. He would pull notes out of the sky, and we’d sing them on corners and the harmony. Though it never struck me that ‘Sherry’ would be a solo venture. When I heard the first note, when it hit me, and it started moving in falsetto, I envisioned – it needed support. You know, it needed a block harmony to surround it and support it.”

The Four Seasons were one of the best-selling musical groups of all time. They also released “Walk Like a Man,” “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” and “December 1963 (Oh, What a Night).” The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, and the New Jersey Hall of Fame. They also received a Hollywood Walk of Fame star in 2024.

As the days grow shorter and fall rears its head, it’s time to start making some major changes to our plants—whether they’re in a sprawling garden, humble raised beds or even in potted plants on the windowsill.

That said, in regards to houseplants, what changes need to be made this time of year? Well, for a number of houseplants, it’s actually vital to stop fertilizing them around late August.

To learn more about which houseplants you can stop fertilizing right now, we spoke with Christina Stembel, founder and CEO of Farmgirl Flowers, a national flower gifting company.

And though Stembel does have a No. 1 plant that you should stop fertilizing right now—as well as a few others to stop fertilizing, and a few you should keep fertilizing into early fall—this rule is not cut and dry.

“I’m a big believer in paying attention to what the plant is actually doing,” says Stembel. “As the days get shorter and we head into fall, a lot of houseplants naturally start slowing down, and that’s usually my cue to stop fertilizing too.”

The One Houseplant to Stop Fertilizing by Late August

One of the main plants you should stop fertilizing this time of year is the ZZ plant, a popular houseplant that’s part of the Zamioculcas genus.

Why You Should Stop Fertilizing Your ZZ Plant

According to Stembel, ZZ plants “naturally slow down as the days get shorter, so once I notice they’ve stopped actively growing, I stop feeding them and basically let them do their thing until spring.”

Another major reason to stop fertilizing your ZZ plant right now is because over-fertilizing it can damage the plant. According to Joy Us Garden, too much fertilization can cause salts to build up, burn a ZZ plant’s roots and cause the leaves to develop brown spots.

Additionally, over-fertilizing a houseplant can cause a crusty layer of fertilizer to develop on the surface of the soil, darkened roots and wilting or yellowing lower leaves, per the Houseplant Resource Center.

And not only do ZZ plants typically not need to be fertilized this time of year, but they also start to require less water.

“I also do my absolute best to cut way back on watering, especially with ZZ plants, which I’m horrible about overwatering!” says Stembel.

To avoid accidentally watering your ZZ plant too much, Joy Us Garden recommends using a pot with drainage holes. This allows surplus water to drain out of the bottom of the pot, which helps reduce your plant’s chances of developing root rot.

5 Other Houseplants to Stop Fertilizing as Fall Approaches

Stembel shared five other plants you should also stop fertilizing right now:

1. Snake plants
2. Fiddle-leaf figs
3. Cacti
4. Succulents
5. Rubber plants

Like ZZ plants, all of these varieties slow down their growth as summer comes to a close. Once Stembel observes that their growing has significantly reduced, she stops fertilizing them until spring.

“Cacti and succulents surprised me because you don’t see a ton of obvious growth from them anyway, but they slow down even more heading into winter,” says Stembel.

“And my super finicky fiddle-leaf fig is an easy one to read: once it stops putting out new leaves, I know it’s time to stop fertilizing,” she adds.

What to Do If You’ve Accidentally Fertilized Your Houseplant Too Much

If your houseplant is exhibiting any of the aforementioned signs of over-fertilizing, there’s still a good chance you can save it.

According to the Houseplant Resource Center, the first thing to do is remove any unwanted matter from the plant—simply use a spoon to scoop off the fertilizer crust from the top of the soil, and then pick off any wilted, yellowed, browned or burned leaves.

Once everything is cleaned up, you can “leach the fertilizer out of the soil with a nice, long watering,” as this will actually remove the fertilizer from the roots, per the Houseplant Resource Center. Basically, just run water onto the soil until you see water running out of the drainage holes. Pour out the runoff water from the dish promptly, and repeat the leaching process around three times. Then, give your houseplant a break from any fertilizers for at least a month—and it should bounce back soon.

Houseplants You Should Keep Fertilizing Into Early Fall

“There’s a few plants I’ll keep feeding into early fall as long as they’re still actively growing,” says Stembel. These plants include:

1. Palms
2. Peperomias
3. Phalaenopsis orchids

“For our palms and peperomias, I like to top-dress them with a little good compost instead of fertilizer though when we get close to fall,” says Stembel. “It’s gentler and just adds nutrients back into the soil more slowly than giving them a burst of fertilizer all at once.”

But when it comes to orchids, you’ll want to be very delicate when slowing down your fertilizing process.

“Orchids are the exception since they’re usually growing in bark rather than soil,” says Stembel. “If mine is still growing new roots, leaves or a flower spike, I’ll give it a very diluted specialty orchid fertilizer until it starts slowing down.”

Max Bemis, frontman of the long-running emo band Say Anything, has postponed his upcoming tour dates, according to a statement released by the group.

The announcement says Bemis needs to “prioritize his mental health and personal well-being,” and that he will be taking time away to focus on his health. The statement thanks fans for their “understanding, patience and respect for his privacy” during this period, and confirms that refunds will be made available at the original points of purchase for anyone holding tickets to the postponed shows.

View this post on Instagram

The news comes amid a wave of unconfirmed allegations of sexual misconduct circulating on Reddit and other social media platforms in recent days, including purported screenshots of private conversations involving Bemis. As of this writing, neither Bemis nor Say Anything has publicly addressed those specific allegations, and no statement beyond the tour postponement has been issued.

Bemis has fronted Say Anything since forming the band in the early 2000s. Early in his career, Drive-Thru Records reportedly pursued signing the group and pitched Bemis to the industry as “the next Bob Dylan,” a comparison he was never particularly fond of. That early hype gave way to real staying power: the band’s 2004 album, “…Is a Real Boy,” became a defining record of the 2000s emo scene and helped cement Bemis as one of its most recognizable songwriters, known for dense, confessional lyrics that often drew directly from his own struggles with bipolar disorder, which he has spoken about publicly for years.

Online reaction to the postponement has been significant, with fans and followers reacting heavily across social platforms as the situation continues to develop. Some longtime supporters have expressed disappointment, while others say they’re withholding judgment until more information comes out. Given that the allegations remain unconfirmed and unaddressed by those involved, further reporting is limited for now.

There’s an undeniable electricity that pulses through Atlantic City, a vibrant, magnetic energy that intensifies the moment you cross the threshold of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City.

As a frequent traveler and writer, I’m often asked why I remain so captivated by this iconic stretch of the Jersey Shore. I spend many of my summer weekends in Margate City, NJ, just a few miles south, and venturing into Atlantic City from this nearby beach town offers a profound and necessary shift in perspective. It is a seamless transition from the quiet charm of a coastal retreat to an exhilarating atmosphere where nostalgic Boardwalk heritage meets high-octane modern luxury. Nowhere is that sophisticated balance more perfectly struck than at the Hard Rock, making it an essential destination for those seeking the ultimate shore, foodie or gaming experience in Atlantic City from nearby beach town offers a profound and necessary shift in perspective. Because it is just an hour from Philadelphia and two hours from New York City, this vibrant city is an accessible, year-round destination that is perfect for a quick getaway.

Recently, I had a mission at the Hard Rock. I wasn’t just there for the world-class music memorabilia or the high-energy gaming floor at Hard Rock. I was there to dine at Kuro, the Japanese craft kitchen that has recently achieved a rare feat: being named the number one hotel restaurant in the country by USA TODAY 10Best for two consecutive years. Accompanied by my husband and son, I wanted to see if the reality matched the accolades.

The buzz surrounding Kuro is inextricably linked to the restaurant’s dedicated culinary team led by Executive Chef Leslie Daniel. In the world of high-stakes hospitality, maintaining the top spot for a second year in a row is no small task, yet the pride the Hard Rock staff takes in this achievement is palpable.

The moment we stepped into the restaurant, the decor set the tone. Kuro is designed to be an immersive experience, blending contemporary aesthetics with artisanal touches that feel both sophisticated and welcoming. The lighting is subdued, the atmosphere intimate yet charged with the kinetic energy of the nearby casino floor. It is the kind of place that feels like a destination within a destination. You can see the bustling open kitchen from almost every seat in the restaurant.

We began our evening with a round of curated cocktails and a selection of appetizers that immediately signaled the kitchen’s technical prowess. Notably, the menu features standout cocktails like the sweet cocktail, Shi, made with blackberry jam-infused tequila, ginger, and pineapple and the salty Pinku, perfectly balanced with vodka, mezcal, watermelon, lime, and ichimi salt. Kuro’s menu is a masterclass in using locally sourced ingredients alongside premium items imported directly from Japan. Chef Leslie, as he’s known,  has designed the menu with sharing in mind, focusing on complex, balanced flavors that encourage everyone at the table to try a bit of everything. We shared the ribeye and chicken skewers, Wagyu tacos, several types of superb sushi, and also enjoyed Miso soup and steamed edamame.

As the evening progressed, the service remained impeccable as it was attentive without being intrusive. Our waiter Tommy was a star. The sheer variety on the menu is impressive, ranging from premium sushi, sashimi, and hand rolls to more indulgent options like A5 Japanese Wagyu Beef and smoky Robata Charcoal Grill skewers. For the main course, my husband devoured the Wagyu steak entree, our son ordered more yellowtail and tuna sushi, and I chose the salmon which was delicate and expertly prepared. What I particularly appreciated was how thoughtful the kitchen was with our dietary needs. Plus, Kuro boasts a great selection of gluten-free and vegan options, ensuring everyone feels accommodated.

It’s easy for a restaurant to rest on its laurels once it hits the top of a list, but Kuro seems to use its number one ranking as a baseline rather than a ceiling. The experience reminded me why I love the Hard Rock AC so much. It isn’t just the vast array of slot machines and diverse table games; it’s the commitment to quality across every dimension. Kuro is part of a standout restaurant scene at Hard Rock, which also includes the refined Council Oak Steaks & Seafood and the classic Italian gem, Il Mulino. 

Atlantic City is a town of big wins, and a meal at Kuro feels like exactly that. Whether you are visiting for the non-stop live entertainment at Hard Rock Live at Etess Arena or simply strolling the legendary boardwalk, Kuro provides a culinary anchor that justifies every bit of its national fame.

Sometimes, the award winners truly do deserve the honors. Kuro didn’t just meet our expectations based on its USA TODAY 10Best status, it exceeded them. For anyone looking to experience the absolute best of what Atlantic City has to offer, a reservation at this Japanese powerhouse is not just recommended; it’s essential. I know I’ll be back soon, as the entire Hard Rock experience was truly amazing.

Planning Your Visit to Kuro:

• Location: Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, 1000 Boardwalk, Atlantic City, NJ
• Reservations: Highly encouraged, especially for weekend dining.

In 2003, Audrey Niffenegger brought us a story that transformed the way we thought about time travel. The Time Traveler’s Wife was a story of love, loss, and fear, and it was quickly adapted into a movie — and later an HBO series that lasted just one season.

Since then, there have been all sorts of wishes and questions. Then, in April 2026, Niffenegger announced that she would bring a long-awaited sequel, and that story is coming out in the fall. Life Out of Order is now one of fall’s most anticipated reads on Goodreads.

It’s the sixth most anticipated science fiction release, but this is far more than sci-fi. It’s romance, fantasy, and magical realism mixed into the story of time travel, and that brings hope and heart to the fear and longing told within the pages.

Life Out of Order follows Alba DeTamble, the daughter of time-traveler Henry and his wife Clare. She was born with the same rare genetic condition, Chrono-Displacement Disorder, and just like her father, she is unable to control when and where she goes through time. All she knows is that there are secrets of the future that she can’t share with anyone, adding a weight to her shoulders no one would ever wish for.

At the same time, she finds her heart captured by two people in two different timelines. How does she deal with that, and what happens when she finds another time traveler like her? Is it possible to be happy, and can you ever truly belong to the present when you have this gene?

The original tale was a metaphor for all of Niffeneger’s failed relationships at the time. This sequel helps to expand the universe that she originally developed, bringing multiple POVs and new characters to get to know, while also exploring what happened to various characters from The Time Traveler’s Wife.

Life Out of Order is coming out on Oct. 6, 2026. While that is a bit of a wait, early reviews are in, with readers sharing their praise and excitement.

One reader says, “This book is so much more than a love story (although it does have it). It’s a sharp commentary on our present as well as a peek into a possible unnerving future Audrey has imagined.”

Another shared, “Haven’t stopped thinking about this book since I read it. It’s beautiful, brilliant, entertaining. I will never get enough of the DeTambles.”

Get ready for another look at time travel and what it means to know how dark the future can be.

“Maybellene” was a 1955 rock and roll song by the iconic Chuck Berry. It rose all the way to number five on the Best Sellers chart and made it to number one on Billboard’s Rhythm and Blues chart.

The song was originally called “Ida Mae” because it was adapted from a country song called “Ida Red” from Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys. However, Leonard Chess from Chess Records was not a fan of the name and wanted it changed.

“And that was a problem, so nobody could think of a name,” pianist Johnnie Johnson told  NPR. “We looked up on the windowsill, and there was a mascara box up there with Maybellene written on it. And Leonard Chess said, Why don’t we name the damn thing ‘Maybellene?’“

Berry was happy with the new title. He said, “‘Maybellene’ has the same rhythm as ‘Ida Red,’ like dah-di-dah, you know, ‘Maybellene,’ ‘Ida Red,’ you know. So rhythm I had, but I had somebody else’s title, you know. So that’s how ‘Maybellene’ came up.”

He also spoke about the first time he heard his song being played on the radio. “Passing by a tailor shop that I got my high school graduation coat made at, and I passed by the shop until the song played out, you know; I didn’t want anybody to see me listening, you know, to — but it was ‘Maybellene’ I was listening to. And when it played out, you know, that was my last walk past the door of the place. And I flew home — you know, I was about 20 blocks from home — and told everybody, I heard it, I heard it, I heard it. I heard me sing.'”

Berry is an iconic artist who had many other hits over the years, including “Johnny B. Goode,” “Sweet Little Sixteen,” “School Day,” and “Roll Over Beethoven.” He was one of the first musicians to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Berry died in 2017 at the age of 90.
