After an extended recovery period, the music world is finally reunited with the legendary Jon Bon Jovi, who has been sidelined for a number of years after a serious vocal surgery. The artist revealed in 2022 that he was to be hospitalized for a major vocal chord surgery after one of his vocal chords reportedly "atrophied."

Since then, the iconic '80s group Bon Jovi hasn't seen the stage. Bon Jovi had to rest his vocal chords for a long to be able to perform the way he used to. Now, that wait has come to an end. The band has kicked off their "Forever" tour, and they sound good as new.

It's amazing that he not only sounds so good but also so much better after a major surgery like that. The concert world is better with Bon Jovi on stage, and the band is lucky to have its singer back. The show looked like an absolute blast, with a packed Madison Square Garden all cheering on Bon Jovi's return.

Fands are celebrating his return en masse, as a rock legend is finally back. Hearing songs like "Livin' On A Prayer," "It's My Life," and "You Give Love A Bad Name" from the source has fans taking to the comments to share their excitement and support.

"He sounds much better than their last tour!"

"He can sing “ooooh we’re half way there”! He couldn’t even get that out before! He sounds great to me! His vocal cords have been through a lot and he’s sounding much better than his last tour!"

"He sounds amazing 👏🥰seeing them in August! 🙌"

It's wonderful to have Jon Bon Jovi back in touring form. Here's to a successful set of shows!

The bakeware I treasure most isn't the newest or even necessarily the prettiest thing in my kitchen. It's the well-worn casserole dishes and baking pans that have been passed down through my family, each one carrying decades' worth of holiday dinners, birthdaycakes and weeknight comfort food. Everything baked in them always tastes just a little better. Maybe that's because they're seasoned with nostalgia as much as they are years of use.

But it isn't just the memories that make them special. They've quite literally stood the test of time, proving that a really great piece of bakeware isn't something you replace every few years — it's something you build traditions around. I love the idea of buying pieces that my own kids will ask to use in their own kitchens because they remember what was baked inside them.

There's a reason quality stoneware casserole dishes seem to stick around for generations. They're built to be workhorses, handling everything from bubbling lasagnas and cheesy casseroles to fruit crisps and brownies without missing a beat. Stoneware is known for heating evenly (this Lodge version can hold its own in an oven up to 450 degrees), so food cooks consistently and stays hot long after it leaves the oven.

A 13-by-nine-inch baker is also one of those just-right sizes that's large enough for family dinners and holiday favorites, yet attractive enough to go straight from the oven to the table. And that's often how heirlooms begin—not because someone sets out to create one, but because a dependable dish becomes part of birthday dinners and Sunday comfort meals until it holds as many memories as recipes.

What I also love is that cleaning a stoneware dish is usually pretty low-maintenance. Once it's cooled completely, wash it with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge to protect the glazed finish. If you're dealing with baked-on cheese or stubborn bits (why won't they budge?), let the dish soak for 15 to 20 minutes before scrubbing.

In 1971, nobody at Disneyland knew they were watching the birth of one of the biggest rock bands in American history.

The two musicians on stage that night were hired hands, paid for a gig, and expected to play and go home. One of them is now the last original member standing, playing farewell shows to sold-out stadiums in 2026. The other one didn't make it this far.

The night was July 12, 1971. Linda Ronstadt was already making a name for herself in the Los Angeles music scene, three albums in and on the verge of a commercial breakthrough that would make her one of the decade's biggest-selling artists. Her manager, John Boylan, had put together a backing band for her Silk Purse Tour, calling on four relatively unknown musicians from the California country-rock scene: Don Henley on drums, Glenn Frey on guitar, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner. None of them had any particular reason to be memorable that night. They were there to back a singer, collect their pay, and go home.

They played their set under Sleeping Beauty's Castle for a crowd of graduating high school students who had absolutely no idea what they were watching.

All four of them, Henley, Frey, Bernie Leadon, and Randy Meisner, were on that stage. It was the only time the original lineup ever played together, backing up Ronstadt. One gig. One night. But the chemistry was undeniable, and two of them weren't willing to let that go to waste.

Glenn Frey later described what happened in his own words during his 2014 induction of Ronstadt into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. "In the spring of 1971, she hired a singing drummer from Linden, Texas, named Don Henley to play in her backup band," Frey said. "While touring with Linda that summer, Don and I told her that we wanted to start our own band, and she, more than anyone else, helped us put together the Eagles."

Ronstadt remembered it the same way. "Glenn and Don were rooming together, and they each discovered the other could sing and was a great songwriter," she told Billboard. "Glenn used to call Don his secret weapon. He said, 'I'm gonna do a band with Don. We're gonna do a band together.' I said, 'That's a great idea.'"

A secret weapon who happened to be a drummer nobody had ever heard of and who's now the last one standing.

Ronstadt wasn't exactly waiting for things to happen either. While Henley and Frey were building The Eagles, she was building one of the most decorated careers in American music. Heart Like a Wheel, Simple Dreams, Living in the USA, three consecutive multi-platinum albums in the mid-to-late 1970s. The woman whose Disneyland gig accidentally launched the Eagles turned out to need no launching herself.

Within months of that Disneyland performance, the four musicians signed with David Geffen's new Asylum Records label. They drove out to the Mojave Desert, took peyote and tequila, and came up with a name. The Eagles released their self-titled debut album on June 1, 1972. Take It Easy, Witchy Woman, Peaceful Easy Feeling. It went Platinum almost immediately.

What came next is one of the most remarkable stories in American music history. Hotel California, Desperado, Life in the Fast Lane, Lyin' Eyes. Five number-one singles. Six number-one albums. Six Grammys. Over 200 million records sold worldwide. Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975) became and still is the best-selling album in US history, certified at 40 million copies.

All of it traces back to a single night at Disneyland.

From Sleeping Beauty's Castle to Their Final Bow

Glenn Frey died on January 16, 2016, at just 67 years old. The man who had called Don Henley his secret weapon, who had said "I'm gonna do a band with Don" in a shared hotel room on the road with Linda Ronstadt, didn't get to make it to the farewell.

His son Deacon Frey has performed with the Eagles in his father's place, alongside Vince Gill. The current lineup, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Timothy B. Schmit, with Vince Gill and Deacon Frey, has been completing The Long Goodbye farewell tour, which began in 2023.

In February 2026, Henley sat down with CBS Sunday Morning and said what many fans had been expecting to hear. "I think this year will probably be it," he said. "I feel like we're getting toward the end. And that will be fine too."

The Long Goodbye Act III added a final run of stadium shows in Atlanta, Nashville and Arlington in May 2026, with Tedeschi Trucks Band as guests. The Eagles have played over 1,000 concerts and sold 16 million tickets over their career.

The drummer nobody had heard of at that 1971 Disneyland gig is now the last original member of The Eagles, playing his final shows in front of stadiums full of people who know every single word to their entire catalog.

Two unknown hired hands showed up at Disneyland in 1971 to do what they loved. They weren't there to make any major changes. They were there to get paid. Fifty-five years later, the music they made is still rated the best-selling in American history, and the man who played drums that night is taking his last bow.

Leroy Gómez, the saxophonist and original singer of Santa Esmeralda, turned 76 years old on Wednesday. He is best known for his impact on the disco and Latin music genres in the 1970s.

When Gómez was just 12 years old, he was learning how to sing and play the saxophone, with encouragement from one of his teachers. Two years later, he started his own band before joining Tavares, a local group of brothers from Camp Verde, and they toured around North and South America. In 1973, Gómez briefly worked with Elton John, who invited him to play the saxophone on "Social Disease," a song from his 1973 album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Amidst this success, Gómez decided to leave Tavares and stay in Europe, getting work as a session player in Paris.

After living in Paris for a few years, Gómez met French producers Nicolas Skorsky and Jean Manuel de Scarano in 1977, who were forming a band called Santa Esmeralda. They recruited him to sing the track "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood," which ended up being the group's top hit.

Originally written in 1964 for Nina Simone, which failed to chart, the song was picked up by British rock band the Animals the following year, to great success. Santa Esmeralda decided to revamp the hit into a disco song, which was a genre trending during that decade, and added Latin and flamenco elements. The song became a hit for the second time, first topping Billboard's U.S Disco chart and its remix version on the Club Play Singles chart. In addition, "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" peaked on the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 15.

"[One of the] key elements to the success of Santa Esmeralda were the original arrangements written by Don Ray (Raymond Donez). He was one of the important elements to the success of Santa Esmeralda," Gómez told Copper Clippings in a Q&A back in 2016. He also told the independent publication that he was not prepared for the success of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood."

"We had no idea it was going to explode like it did. Without any promotion whatsoever, it became a hit in France and then in the world almost by accident," he revealed. "I was prepared as an artist, sure, I had worked at my craft and was very comfortable in any situation, any type of music, in any style. As far as the music business and the treachery of the music business …. no, no, no I was definitely not ready for that!"

Despite the success of "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and Santa Esmeralda, Gómez left after a year to focus on a solo career. He released two solo albums: Gypsy Woman in 1978 and I Got It Band in 1979, both with Casablanca Records. Santa Esmeralda replaced Gómez with Jimmy Goings and released a dance cover for "The House of the Rising Sun," which was also by the Animals and became a hit.

As of today, Gómez is still very active in the industry and performing around the world. The 76-year-old singer occasionally posts on Instagram, where he shares throwbacks, performances and saxophone clips to his followers.

Breakups are known to be great inspiration for songs. But you don't hear a writer admitting to ending a relationship because they hit a writer's block.

That's what Lamont Dozier did then wrote "Come See About Me" by The Supremes. He revealed how his ex-girlfriend felt about it.

The Story Behind 'Come See About Me' by The Supremes

Dozier wrote for the Four Tops and the Isley Brothers. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer also worked with Phil Collins. He told Song Facts that he would break up with someone to write.

"I would do that when I hit a wall or I couldn't seem to get my head working in the right direction," the singer said. "Or if I couldn't come up with the right feelings and I needed an idea for a love song."

Dozier and Brian Hollandwanted to make upbeat music despite the meaning behind it. That's the case for "Come See About Me" which was made with a surprising method.

"All the songs were love songs, basically," he continued. "I started realizing that I could come up with new ideas or spark the energy of my mind when I had arguments with my girlfriend, or whoever the girl was. And that would spark an idea to write a song about love or unrequited love or whatever kind of love, and to write an appropriate lyric to that feeling. I got away with that for a while."

The songwriter admitted some of the women found out later because of his interviews and were "pissed." He was married three times. His third marriage with Barbara Ullman lasted until her death in 2021.

The cheery-sounding song sounds hopeful in the chorus. "It keeps me cryin', baby, for you/Keeps me sighin', baby, for you/So won't you hurry?/Come on, boy, see about me (Come see about me)/See about you, baby (Come see about me)" sing The Supremes.

The verses depict an unsettling relationship before the breakup. "I've given up my friends just (For you)/My friends are gone and you have too/No peace shall I find/Until you come back and be mine," they sing in the second verse.

The person who was left by their partner is still determined to wait for their love to come back. He or she will be lonely until then.

The hit replaced "I Feel Fine" by The Beatles on the Billboard pop singles chart in the United States. That song has the opposite meaning with two people in love. John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote it.

Mary Wilson, the longest-running member of the group, had a traveling exhibit of her memorabilia called "Come See About Me: The Mary Wilson Supremes Collection" in 2013, according to 6 ABC. The chosen title perfectly shows the great legacy behind the song that was created through a questionable method.

Dancing With The Stars winner Robert Irwin is imparting wisdom on the next group of ballroom dance hopefuls.

Chatting on Good Morning America on Wednesday morning, the famed wildlife conservationist got to talking about the upcoming season of DWTS as several contestants have been announced, including Savannah Bananas baseball player Jackson Olson.

"I actually caught up with Jackson," Irwin shared with the GMA team. "He was saying, 'What kind of advice do you have, Robert?' I said, 'Mate, the thing is, anyone who does this show, I say, you've got to lean in, you've got to let go, enjoy the process, trust your partner, and try to tell your story, that's what sets Dancing with the Stars apart."

Irwin, who quickly became a fan favorite on Season 34 of the ballroom dance competition and ultimately took home the mirrorball trophy, went on to share how the show not only became a new platform for him to speak about wildlife conservation, but a personal journey to process his grief years after losing his dad, Steve Irwin.

"It's so much more than dancing," he continued. "I felt like I could tell my message, my life, my journey through grief, and my family, my love, conservation, all of these things through movement. So I'm excited for this new crop to get in there, get into it, and everyone I'm seeing, they want to be there, they want to give it everything. So we're in for a pretty cool season."

“The dancer that I’m paired with is actually going to come on tour with us while we’re playing,” he shared in May. “I’m going to play my games, we’re going to rehearse our dance. It’s going to be the craziest schedule I’ve ever been on, but it’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Admitting he was "very nervous," he also said, "I think as we get closer to the show, I’m just going to be excited.”

On July 7, John Stamos' episode on Bobby Bones' The Bobbycast podcast premiered. While some of the conversation focused on his Full House days and Bob Saget, things took an interesting turn when Stamos admitted that he had no idea Bones had been on — and won —Dancing With the Stars. The interviewee began asking his interviewer a flurry of questions.

"Wait, so you were on there? You won?" Stamos asked. "Were you a dancer before? And you won that thing?" While Bones tried to steer the conversation back to his point, Stamos clearly wanted to know more.

"So why did you get on?" Stamos continued. "They just asked you, and you thought, 'F**k it, I'm going to do this, and I'm going to take the challenge of my life?"

Why Stamos Constantly Rejects the Show

After Bones explained why he agreed to Dancing With the Stars, he finally managed to take back control, asking Stamos, "So how many times have you been asked to do that show?"

"Every single season," Stamos claimed. "I said, 'Stop, don't ever ask me again. I'm never going to do that show."

Bones tried to convince him that he'd "love it," but Stamos wasn't having it.

"What makes that show good is people suffering and looking like fools," he explained. "They're breaking their feet, and you know, the calluses."

Ironically, one of Bones' fellow contestants was Stamos' Fuller House co-star, Juan Pablo Di Pace. Once he realized that Bones had won, despite Di Pace getting "tens every single week," Stamos couldn't hide his shock. "How did you get more votes than the guy from Fuller House?" he exclaimed.

A Decade of Turning Down the Dance Floor

While it may seem like Stamos was exaggerating when he claimed he's asked to appear on the ABC reality show every year, he was first mentioned as a dream guest by professional dancer Karina Smirnoff in 2010. "I have a wish to dance with John Stamos," she told PEOPLE at the time. "He could be a great dancer."

But even then, Stamos knew that was something he definitely wasn't interested in. "I’m not doing Dancing with the Stars. Flattered to be asked,” he wrote on X (via PEOPLE). "I’m not a dancer. I’d put my foot in my mouth faster thanJohn Mayer."

Fifty-five years ago, legendary rock band The Who released "Behind Blue Eyes"—a song that charted for 11 straight weeks and remains a beloved radio classic.

Released on November 6, 1971 as the second single from their critically acclaimed fifth studio album, Who's Next, "Behind Blue Eyes" became a massive fan favorite. Upon its release, the song was spun religiously by rock radio disc jockeys who had fallen in love with the track's parent album.

The single's wide-range exposure bolstered it onto the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at No. 34 and remained on the chart for a staggering 11 consecutive weeks. "Behind Blue Eyes" was one of the band's earliest hits to hold a position on the charts for that long, with its lasting relevance reflecting this feat.

Produced by The Who and Glyn Johns through Decca Records, "Behind Blue Eyes" is notable for its building arrangement that takes listeners from an acoustic, vulnerable atmosphere to an explosive rock anthem. The band builds dynamic tension throughout the track, with the softer elements in the beginning starkly contrasting with the ending's powerful outburst.

Written by guitarist Pete Townshend, the idea for the single was originally conceived for his abandoned space-opera project, Lifehouse. Townshend composed the piece as the theme song for the project's main villain Jumbo—a misunderstood figure struggling with loneliness and the pressures of power. Even though the rock-opera was never officially completed and released, the material has since been repackaged for subsequent releases later in his career, resulting in "Behind Blue Eyes" standing on its own as a single.

The Who's rock ballad touched on themes that deeply resonated with listeners. The track's focus on internal conflict and isolation's impact became a hallmark of the band's songwriting style. Even today, modern audiences identify with the song's message—speaking to its timelessness.

Over five decades after its release, "Behind Blue Eyes" remains a defining classic on rock radio stations and a dominant song on streaming platforms. In the digital era, the track has taken on a new life, thriving on Spotify, where it has accumulated over 354 million streams—proving that its emotional depth continues to captivate listeners across generations.

Connor Storrie, known for his portrayal of Ilya Rozanov in Heated Rivalry, has earned his very first Emmy nomination. But it’s not for the hockey drama series — instead, the 26-year-old snagged a nomination for guest starring on Saturday Night Live.

Variety reported that, despite being acquired by HBO Max for the U.S., Heated Rivalry was ineligible for the Emmy Awards since it’s funded by the Canadian company Bell Media. But that didn’t stop the Television Academy from recognizing Storrie.

Storrie is nominated for Outstanding Guest Actor In A Comedy Series, “for his excellent work as Host of SNL's February 28 episode,” NBC wrote. Featuring musical guest Mumford & Sons, Storrie’s episode included cameos from Team USA’s Olympic hockey champions, as well as Storrie’s Heated Rivalry co-star Hudson Williams. NBC called the episode “an instant classic.”

“No one deserved this more than he did,” one fan commented on an Instagram post from Variety. “I’m bursting with pride for him.”

“Why am I crying as if this was my best friend being nominated?” Another fan joked in a comment on SNL's Instagram post.

During Storrie’s opening monologue on SNL, the actor reflected on what it meant to him to host an episode.

"I've only technically been a professional actor for like six months now," Storrie said. "But on the other hand, I've been preparing for this my entire life since I was a 12-year-old obsessed with acting.”

Storrie is nominated in the category alongside Michael J. Fox, Brett Goldstein, Hamish Linklater, Christopher McDonald, and Rob Reiner, who was nominated posthumously.

“[The nominees’] creativity and talent remind us why television remains one of our most powerful art forms,” Cris Abrego, Television Academy chair, said on Wednesday morning. “While these nominations recognize individual achievement, they also celebrate the collaborative spirit that defines our industry. Every nomination today is a result of countless people coming together to create work that moves us, entertains us, and, above all, inspires us.”

Storrie recently appeared for a guest star arc in season 19 of Criminal Minds: Evolution. The arc comes ahead of Heated Rivalry’s second season, which is set to begin filming this August.

“We’re filming this summer,” Storrie said when The Perfect Magazine asked when the next season would be. “So I don’t know how long you gotta wait after that. But it’s coming.”

The Emmy Awards, hosted by Mariska Hargitay, will air live on NBC and Peacock on Monday, Sept. 14 at 8 p.m. ET.

You know Bethany Joy Lenz best for her role as Haley James Scott on One Tree Hill. She also released the New York Times bestseller Dinner for Vampires, but now it’s time for her to make her debut as a fiction author.

Lenz has written The Betrayal of Cora Wexford, a tale set in the late 1880s, at a time when the victims of Jack the Ripper were still ignored. The downside is having to wait until Oct. 20, 2026, for the release.

The Betrayal of Cora Wexford is described as a romantic psychological suspense novel set in 1880s London. Cora Wexford leaves America, fleeing a troubled past in the hope of something new and peaceful. She wants peace so much that she makes a living painting the dead!

This is where Jack the Ripper comes into the story. No, Cora is not some fictional victim, but she is a woman who documents the victims. On the evening of her birthday, a charming stranger called Miles Vale has an offer that she can’t refuse. He wants her to paint women who have recently died. They were all murdered in the same way, and their way of life has led to them being ignored by the masses for years.

Cora can’t see them forgotten. And so, she paints these victims. All the while, she wonders if anyone will notice a woman being dismantled over the years by the man she shares a bed with.

There are many topics that come up throughout The Betrayal of Cora Wexford, including dreams of a career, manipulation in relationships, and just how terrifying love can be.

It’s Lenz’s first step into fiction. In 2024, she released Dinner for Vampires: Life on a Cult TV Show, which took fans inside her real life as she gained popularity on One Tree Hill. The book doesn’t delve into the many accusations and comments that have since come up about the TV series creator, but instead takes a look at Lenz’s life as she joined a cult.

The release of The Betrayal of Cora Wexford is a week before fellow One Tree Hill alum Sophia Bush releases her autobiography, And I Will Tell You Mine, where she goes into her life before, during, and after the hit teen TV series.

Mick Jagger‘s daughter, Georgia May Jagger, knows how to serve up style on the red carpet.

The daughter of the Rolling Stones icon, 34, who serves as the founder of May Botanicals, sports the same blonde hair as her Texan model mother, Jerry Hall. But one look at that smile, and it’s safe to say that she inherited it from her father, who’s still rocking out on stages across the globe at 82. Georgia May hit the red carpet at the launch of the Rolling Stones' new album, "Foreign Tongues," at the St. Clement Hotel in London, England, and officially stole the spotlight from her famous dad. Wearing a little black dress and a bold pink lip, the blonde beauty is the perfect fusion of natural beauty and rock star style.

“Excited to turn 30 again tomorrow 🩵,” Georgia May captioned the photo set, which featured a stunning waterfront photo of the beauty toting her young son in her arms. From building sandcastles on sandy beaches to sipping wine with her mom, it looks like Georgia May knows how to have a good time.

In 1999, ABC aired the made-for-television film, Double Platinum, starring Diana Ross alongside Brandy. The film was a tale of a famous mother who abandoned her infant child and an unsupportive husband for a life on the road, only to return 18 years later in hopes of reconciliation.

The film was Brandy’s third, and a Neilsen’s ratings hit. Brandy, juggling multiple hats at the time, learned a much bigger lesson from the Motown icon that she still carries today. 

In her memoir Phases, Brandy writes that production on the film primarily centered around Ross’ schedule. At the time, Ross had wrapped a tour overseas, missed the Thanksgiving holiday stateside, and as a result, only agreed to shoot the film in New York - versus Los Angeles or Canada for sound stages and budget reasons - so that she could travel back home to Connecticut every night to be with her two youngest children. Ross also refused to miss Christmas, insisting the film be completed ahead of the holiday. 

The studio, ABC, agreed. Typically, a movie of that stature would take 20 days to complete. They were given a timeline of 17 days, 14 of which included overlapping scenes that featured both of them together. 

Brandy was excited to do the film and learned much more than she’d anticipated by observing Ross. The Moesha star was 19 at the time and reveals she was burned out from the grueling schedule of shooting a successful television show while balancing a music career, films, performances, interviews, photoshoots, and everything in between. Her career had taken off and wasn’t slowing down. Afraid of losing momentum, she admits she said “yes” to everything, no matter how tired she was.

“She had boundaries,” Brandy writes. “Firm, clear, nonnegotiable boundaries. She’d toured the world over, crossing oceans and continents. Headlines stages from Vegas to Tokyo, commanding audiences of thousands with a flick of her wrist. And still, she chose home. She carved out space to be a mother. When we finished Double Platinum, she would be going back to her home to celebrate the holidays with her family. It was the first time I’d seen a woman at that level of power and fame have a firm boundary around work. And she did it without guilt or apology.”

There are countless subgenres within the science fiction film genre, ranging from dystopian to romance. One of the most popular subgenres is the sci-fi adventure, wherein the main characters are given a nearly impossible task in a futuristic landscape.

The publication Collider recently spotlighted a few acclaimed sci-fi adventures, with a ranking of "10 greatest sci-fi adventure movies of the last 25 years." The list, published on July 7, included thrilling science fiction films released after 2001 like 2009's Star Trek,Project Hail Mary from 2026,Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi released in 2017, and Everything Everywhere All at Once from 2022. According to the publication, the 2008 Pixar-Disney film WALL-E is the very best sci-fi adventure has to offer since 2001.

The movie, which secured the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2009, has a score of 95 percent on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Director of 'WALL-E' Andrew Stanton Shared Why He Wanted to Make an Animated Science Fiction Film

In a 2008 interview with Tribute.ca, the director of WALL-E, Andrew Stanton, who also co-wrote the script with Jim Reardon, shared that he had been a long-time fan of the science fiction genre. He explained that he wanted to make a film reminiscent of the great sci-fi films of the 1960s and 1970s.

"Sci-fi hasn't been done much in animation. And so, I really felt it was ripe to sort of find something fresh. And my favorite movies because, I'm showing my age, were all through the late '60s to the '70s," said the Finding Nemo director during the 2008 interview. "I just loved [2001: A Space Odyssey] and Close Encounters and Alien and Blade Runner. And I loved these worlds that just felt like they were just so complete, so figured out, and I'd get so engrossed in them. And I wanted WALL-E to feel like it was a movie that was almost found in a can from that same era."

While speaking to Tribute.ca, Stanton also noted he was able to give the film about robots and a destroyed Earth emotional depth through the connection WALL-E has with EVE.

"A love story, that's all about emotion. It's all about relationships and change and stuff," said Stanton.

There are three things guaranteed in the world today: Death, taxes, and Jeopardy! being on. Believe it or not, the iconic game show has been on the air for over 60 years (though the modern incarnation we know and love technically debuted in 1984). Under the watchful eye of Ken Jennings (who himself was a record-breaking champion), Jeopardy! puts three people's trivia skills and reflexes to the ultimate test. And so many of the greats to grace those podiums started by simply watching the show as it aired on weekdays, as millions have done for over half a century.

Justin Moore has shared some exciting news with his fans.

On Tuesday, the country singer shared a video teaser on his official Instagram account of him walking around backstage, getting ready to perform on stage. The last scene showed a quick snapshot of his upcoming tour dates, which will take place throughout July and into mid-November. Opening night is on Thursday evening in Illinois, and the string of concerts will conclude in Arkansas on Nov. 21.

Moore is set to hit multiple states during his Live in Concert Tour, including Wisconsin, Oregon, Utah, Missouri, New Jersey, Maine, Connecticut, South Dakota, North Dakota, Michigan, Kentucky, Arizona and more. Some of the dates in the announcement also list the shows Moore will be opening for Riley Green, who is currently on his Cowboy As It Gets Tour. More dates are expected to be announced soon.

"See y’all on the road soon!" Moore wrote in his caption.

The tour announcement comes over a month after the "This is My Dirt" singer revealed that he will be stepping back from touring life to focus on his health.

"I've made the decision to take some time to focus on my health. As a result, I'll be stepping away from touring for a short period and will be unable to perform some upcoming shows," the announcement read. "This is the right decision for me and my family, and I appreciate everyone's understanding and support."

Moore was scheduled to perform multiple concerts across the United States throughout the second week of June, with planned stops in Texas, Alabama, New York and New Jersey. In addition, he was set to appear in various music festivals, including the Rock the South Festival.

Moore began performing his music while he was a junior in high school, and after graduating from high school, he joined his uncle's Southern rock band and moved to Nashville, where he met many producers and music executives. Since releasing his self-titled debut album in 2009, Moore has released seven more studio albums, with his most recent being This is My Dirt in 2024.

Throughout his career, Moore's songs have also charted 21 times on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay charts, with many reaching the Top 10 or even No. 1.

"The more and more you do something, the goal has to be to get better, and if you're not, you are probably doing the wrong thing!" Moore said in an interview with Entertainment Focus back in 2023 while he was promoting his album, Stray Dog. "I think the more you do this as an artist, you learn who you are and what you want to say."

Tickets and more information about his upcoming tour can be found on Moore's official website.

The summer box office continues to heat up, with Moana and The Odyssey soon descending on cinemas.

And come August, an alternative entry will also hit the big screens across the U.S., with a title so innocuous you might think it's safe to bring the whole fam for a viewing.

Ice Cream Man is co-written and directed Eli Roth, to help put things into perspective for those familiar with his work. The brains behind Thanksgiving (2023) and Hostel (2005) has a new movie whose 86-minute duration is so horrific that the MPAA wouldn't even slap a rating on it.

That means Ice Cream Man, hitting theaters nationwide on August 7, is officially "unrated," and Roth's media company The Horror Section released a new clip from the scary flick on Wednesday, July 8 to tease what's to come next month.

"The children are having a meltdown," reads the caption of the YouTube upload, a clever play on the film's title and subject matter. Check it out below.

Here's the movie's synopsis, per The Horror Section: "An idyllic summer town descends into madness when an ice cream man serves kids sweet delights with horrifying results."

Roth, 54, co-stars in Ice Cream Man, in addition to co-writing and directing. For added star power, original music by legendary rapper Snoop Dogg is also featured in the film.

The Horror Section’s upcoming slate also includes Don’t Go In That House, B---h!, with Snoop, 54, on board as a producer as well as writer and performer on the original soundtrack. Oh, and he's set to star in the movie as well.

Roth told Variety earlier this year that he intends “to make the ultimate haunted house movie.” He wants it to be, “something that mixes House, House by the Cemetery, Hausu, andFriday the 13th,” and that the film will be “something so insane people can’t believe it exists.” Find out more here.

Sometimes, the biggest indication that you are with the wrong person isn't a dramatic fight or a heartbreaking breakup; it's the quiet feeling that something just isn't right for you anymore. You may find yourself laughing less often, second-guessing your decisions, or realizing that you’re becoming someone you hardly recognize. Each birth month and its corresponding astrological signs have unique needs in a relationship, and when those needs go unmet for an extended period, the warning signs become impossible to ignore. Continue reading to discover insights from experts.

Each Birth Month's Relationship Red Flags

No matter your birth month, the healthiest relationships leave you feeling respected, supported, and free to be yourself. When a relationship consistently takes those things away instead of adding to them, it may be worth listening to what your heart has been trying to tell you all along.

January — You Stop Looking Forward to Coming Home

Whether you're a determined Capricorn or an independent Aquarius, people born in January usually know something is wrong when they stop looking forward to coming home. Even though they don't expect perfection, they do need a relationship that is supportive instead of draining. If every conversation turns into criticism, or they feel like they're carrying the entire relationship alone, they begin to pull away emotionally.

February — You Start Hiding Who You Are

Whether you're an imaginative Aquarius or compassionate Pisces, February-born people thrive on genuine connection. They know they're in the wrong relationship when they feel like they have to hide parts of themselves to keep the peace. Instead of feeling accepted, they start editing their personality, holding back opinions, or pretending everything is fine. That's usually the moment they realize they've lost something important.

March — The Kindness Disappears

Whether you're a compassionate Pisces or energetic Aries, March-born people have big hearts and strong emotions. They know the relationship is wrong when kindness disappears. Constant arguments, harsh words, or feeling emotionally neglected wear them down faster than almost anything else. They want to feel safe sharing what's on their mind, not worried about how it will be received.

April — You Stop Sharing Your Dreams

Whether you're a bold Aries or dependable Taurus, April-born people are naturally enthusiastic and enjoy building a future with someone. When they stop sharing their dreams or exciting plans because their partner dismisses every idea, that's a major red flag. A healthy relationship should make them feel encouraged, not smaller than they were before.

May — Every Day Feels Emotionally Empty

Whether you're a practical Taurus or a curious Gemini, people born in May usually notice something is off when a relationship starts to feel predictable. They don't mind routines, but they still need conversation, laughter, and little moments that keep life interesting. If every day feels emotionally empty, they begin wondering if they're settling.

June — You No Longer Feel Heard

Whether you're a social Gemini or caring Cancer, June-born people often know they're with the wrong person when they no longer feel heard. They can handle disagreements, but they struggle when their thoughts, feelings, or concerns are constantly brushed aside. Feeling invisible hurts them far more than one big argument ever could.

July — The Emotional Security Fades

Whether you're a caring Cancer or confident Leo, July-born people invest deeply in the people they love. They know it's the wrong relationship when they stop feeling emotionally secure. If trust starts to disappear or affection feels forced, their instincts tell them it's time to pay attention.

August — Your Wins Become Competition

Whether you're a confident Leo or thoughtful Virgo, August-born people love relationships where both people celebrate each other's successes. They know they're in the wrong one when every achievement turns into a source of competition or jealousy. Instead of feeling proud together, they start feeling guilty for doing well, and that's never a healthy foundation.

September — Promises Stop Matching Actions

Whether you're a thoughtful Virgo or a balanced Libra, those born in September appreciate honesty and consistency. It makes them uneasy when promises are broken or words never match actions. Trust doesn't disappear overnight, but once it's gone, it's incredibly difficult for them to rebuild.

October — Peace Becomes Impossible to Find

Whether you're a charming Libra or a passionate Scorpio, October-born people usually notice that a relationship is failing when peace becomes impossible to find. They don't expect life to be conflict-free, but they also don't want every conversation to become an argument. Constant tension eventually replaces the happiness they once felt.

November — You Start Questioning Their Loyalty

Whether you're an intense Scorpio or adventurous Sagittarius, November-borns value loyalty above almost everything else. The moment they begin to question someone's honesty or intentions, the relationship starts to lose its foundation. They can forgive mistakes, but rebuilding trust is much harder.

December — The Future Stops Feeling Exciting

Whether you're an adventurous Sagittarius or ambitious Capricorn, December-born people know they're in the wrong relationship when they stop feeling excited about the future. They naturally look ahead, make plans, and dream big. If they can't picture tomorrow with the person they're with—or worse, they feel relieved imagining life without them—that quiet realization often tells them everything they need to know.

Mariska Hargitay has a lot to celebrate at this year’s Emmy Awards. Not only is she hosting the show, but her documentary, My Mom Jayne, is nominated for three awards: Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special, Outstanding Directing for a Documentary/Nonfiction Program, and Outstanding Cinematography for a Nonfiction Program.

Haritay, who has played Olivia Benson on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit since its inaugural season, reacted to the news in an emotional statement she shared with PEOPLE. “I’m thrilled and deeply moved by these nominations. It’s an emotional moment, because what feels most natural to say is ‘On behalf of my mom and myself, thank you.’ I’m profoundly grateful to have this moment with her,” Hargitay said.

The actress added, “My gratitude also extends to my producer, the truly formidable Trish Adlesic, our nominated cinematographer, Tony Hardmon, and the rest of my extraordinary team who shepherded this film into reality.”

My Mom Jayne explores the life and legacy of her mother, actress Jayne Mansfield, who died in a 1967 car accident when Hargitay was just 3 years old. Hargitay was also injured. Mansfield was a mother of five at the time of her death.

In the film, Hargitay examines the impact of her mother’s death and uncovers long-held family secrets, including the true identity of her biological father, singer Nelson Sardelli. Hargitay grew up believing that the man who raised her, actor Mickey Hargitay, was her biological father. Despite discovering the truth in her 20s, she kept it private out of respect for her family.

Throughout the documentary, the Law & Order staple is honest about trying to distance herself from her mother’s sexy image as she built her own acting career, taking on more serious roles. By the end of the film, she develops a deeper understanding, appreciation, and admiration of her mother. 

Some songs have stood the test of time and have gone on to become the most influential tracks in music history, which rings true for one major No. 1 hit that has been voted the best song of a decade. Prince's "Kiss" has been named the best song of the 1980s by Rolling Stone, beating out 199 other '80s classics to take the top spot on the coveted list.

The beloved track, released on Feb. 5, 1986, was the lead single of Prince and the Revolution's eighth studio album, Parade. Prince had originally written the track as an acoustic demo for funk group Mazarati, fronted by his former bassist, Brown Mark. However, Prince opted to take the song back, and it paid off as it soared straight to the top of the charts.

"Kiss" landed the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, where it stayed for two weeks, and peaked at No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart.

For the song, Prince famously stripped away the bass guitar and replaced it with gated acoustic guitar and a Linn drum machine that lends to its unique, rhythmic feel. According to reports, studio executives hated "Kiss" upon first listen, calling it unfinished due to the lack of bass and the minimalistic feel—but that hasn't stopped its unwavering popularity and accolades.

The famous track has been covered countless times, perhaps most famously byTom Jones. After the singer added it to his Las Vegas residency set, synth-pop band The Art of Noise reached out to the Welsh icon to collaborate with him on an official studio version.

An unlikely pairing, the cover peaked at No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100 and scored Jones a first-time MTV appearance. He recalled, "When they sent me the finished version I thought, 'If this isn't a hit, I'll bloody well pack it all in.' It was a busting hit."
