Ryan Seacrest has been turning heads with his recent shirtless photos, and now an insider is revealing just how much work the television host reportedly puts into maintaining his physique.

The 51-year-old Wheel of Fortune and American Idol host recently shared photos of his toned abs on Instagram, drawing plenty of attention from fans and fellow celebrities. However, a source told Closer Weekly that Seacrest’s dedication to fitness has become a major part of his daily life, and some of his friends are reportedly growing tired of hearing about it.

“Ryan looks incredible, no one can argue that, but it does not come easily,” the insider told Closer Weekly. “He invests nearly all of his free time into trying to turn back the clock.”

According to the source, Seacrest follows a carefully planned schedule that includes an early bedtime, a strict diet and intense workouts.

The insider claimed Seacrest has “hyper-optimized” his sleep schedule and “never stays up past 9PM unless it’s a very special occasion.”

His eating habits are reportedly just as structured.

“His diet is just as regimented. It’s all prepared by his chef and perfectly calculated for the right balance of nutrition and he won’t deviate from it one bit,” the source claimed.

Seacrest reportedly works with celebrity personal trainer Dodd Romero, whose clients have also included Jennifer Lopez and Lenny Kravitz.

The insider claimed the television personality takes his abdominal workouts particularly seriously.

“He does at least 500 crunches a day and usually aims for more,” the source said. “He’s constantly counting steps, checking workouts on his phone or flexing his abs to see how they’re looking.”

While Seacrest has not publicly confirmed those specific details of his routine, he regularly shares glimpses of his workouts on social media.

Earlier this month, the television host posted shirtless photos alongside his bicycle, showing fans how he spends his time away from work.

The pictures drew plenty of reactions, including one from Dancing with the Stars professional Gleb Savchenko.

“Let’s goo!!! Shredded,” Savchenko commented.

Seacrest later shared another Instagram video documenting what he considers a perfect day off. The footage showed him preparing for a scenic bicycle ride along the beach, stopping to lift heavy rocks and eventually visiting a bakery.

Despite his commitment to exercise, Seacrest admitted that he enjoys treating himself, particularly when it comes to cinnamon buns.

“When I get free time away from work, it looks a lot like this. It’s health and enjoyment wrapped into one,” he wrote in the caption.

Seacrest explained that he tries to find a balance between maintaining healthy habits and enjoying his favorite foods.

“It’s gardening the produce and homemaking the pizza,” he wrote. “It’s drinking the wine, and still making my workout the next day. Balance is not always a given, but it’s created.”

The host has also shared videos of himself lifting weights while vacationing, captioning one Instagram post, “Vacation workouts just hit different.”

However, the insider suggested that Seacrest’s commitment to exercise has become a running joke among his friends.

“People joke that he spends so much time in his gym that he should move his bed in there,” the source claimed. “Obviously it’s paid off because he’s in phenomenal shape, but his whole personality has become about fitness,” they added.

The Paramount+ psychological thriller Yellowjackets, which sees a group of high school soccer players crash into the Canadian wilderness and struggle to survive by making increasingly disturbing decisions, has been horrifying fans for years, and on Nov. 20, the show will return for its fourth and final season, bringing an end to the equal parts compelling and (wonderfully) grotesque story.

Although audiences have gotten to experience two periods in the show since its first season, with one narrative taking place when the girls are still stranded in the wilderness and the other taking place when they are adults, still living with the consequences of their actions while they were fighting for their lives, viewers have never gotten to see what the immediate aftermath of their return home looked like—and now, season 4 is about to change that.

As the teaser confirms, this upcoming season will finally show what it was like for the Yellowjackets survivors to try to find some semblance of normalcy when they return to their families, despite the fact that, while trapped in the wilderness, they had engaged in things like cannibalism and murder. The clips reveal the girls struggling to eat normal food or accept the idea that they are heroes, particularly in light of what they had to do to survive.

In addition to this harrowing return home, the final season will also need to wrap up the many loose ends that still exist in the narrative arc set during the survivors’ adulthood, from the multiple character deaths in season 3 (including, sadly, Lottie’s) to the fact that Shauna’s life is falling apart and she seems to be going to a darker place than ever.

There’s no doubt that audiences will be very sad to see the show go, but this teaser at least promises an action-packed, thrilling final season.

Yellowjackets premieres on Friday, Nov. 20, on Paramount+. Subscribers must have the premium plan to watch the show.

This October, the Prince of Darkness reigns supreme at Halloween Horror Nights Orlando in a haunted house that pays tribute to Ozzy Osbourne, which headlines the scares for spooky season travelers. The season’s favorite makes this year’s event in Orlando, Florida, a heavy metal-meets-monsters mash-up in the event’s best year yet.

Filled to the brim with classic rock and horror legends, this double-header itinerary makes for epic monster madness during your Halloween trip. If you’re side-questing to Epic Universe during the day to see the Universal Monsters at Darkmoor, here’s how to maximize the macabre musical and cinematic experience this month.

All Aboard the Crazy Train at Halloween Horror Nights by Night View this post on Instagram

This year’s absolute must-see haunted house is “Ozzy Osbourne: Prince of Darkness,” an immersive trek through 45 years of the late great heavy metal icon’s career, a fitting tribute. Fans will enter a crypt with echoes of the Prince of Darkness’ voice leading them to board the Crazy Train across Ozzy’s different eras of horror-tinged rock, turned into living nightmares fueled by his music. Inside, you meet Werewolf Ozzy barking at the moon, mad scientists, a vengeful bat taking a bite out of the rock star’s head (ironic), and, poignantly, Ozzy bidding you farewell.

The rest of the night is propelled by the nostalgia of the ’80s with a Hellraiser house, where Pinhead invites you to witness painful pleasures unfold. It’s a perfect pairing with the Ozzy house for those of us who grew up on the Hellraiser franchise while listening to Black Sabbath and Ozzy.

In that vein, our favorite original house, H.R. Bloodengutz Presents: A Halloween Fright-Tacular, evokes nostalgia for watching late-night television horror hosts with a campy cornucopia of chills and thrills in a send-up of low-budget, made-for-the-small-screen scares like a disco poltergeist and the creation of a living dead girl powered by Pumpkin Spice. There’s also a farewell waterside projection show to Netflix’s Stranger Things. It’s a greatest moments sizzle that celebrates the ’80s-inspired show. It powerfully showcases the show’s fave Eddie Munson’s “Master of Puppets” Metallica guitar solo last stand in the Upside Down, which we give a Hellfire Club hell yeah to!

Merch and foodie highlights include an array of Ozzy Osbourne tribute souvenirs, the Hellraiser box, and treats inspired by both icons. The Ozzy bar had cocktails that paid homage to hits with playful puns and strong sips.

Meet the Classic Monsters by day at Epic Universe

Spend the day with the Universal Monsters at Epic Universe, as this year the icons won’t be featured in their own haunted house at HHN. The Orlando Resort’s newest theme park is their official home for all things classic horror. Inside Darkmoor, a realm of the Dark Universe, you can find characters like Frankenstein, The Bride, The Wolfman, and Dracula across attractions and dining experiences (Frankenstein pretzel).

The village setting harkens to the black-and-white Universal Classics, with a Burning Blade Tavern inspired by the iconic scene in Frankenstein. Find thrills on Curse of the Werewolf, a spinning outdoor coaster, or find out why Dracula hides inside Monsters Unleashed, the epic lore-filled scary adventure that gives insight into the drama within Darkmoor. It’s basically Dracula versus everybody, and for good reason, we would say (vampire fan, here).

Another Halloween must-do is the Darkmoor Monster Makeup experience to let your inner monster out. There’s also a great selection of wearable cosplay-lite style costuming to complete the look. But if the whole Gillman get-up is too much, you can find great Universal Monsters merch such as the adorable collection from Whatever Makes You Happy! which showcases cute classic Monster love.

Russell Brand’s rape and sexual assault trial began on Wednesday, with the prosecution describing the actor/comedian as a “ruthless” and a “sexual predator,” according to the BBC.

Brand has been charged with three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault, and one allegation of indecent assault, involving six women from 1999 to 2009. Lawyer Riel Karmy-Jones, who led the prosecution, said the six women did not know each other and never met.

The prosecutor told the court that Brand’s “desire, strong desire for some form of sexual contact was indiscriminate and voracious.” She also said that Brand would “appear indifferent” and “untroubled” after the encounters, and that “sometimes he would leave promptly after the incident” as if “nothing wrong had happened.”

She added that Brand would be a “demanding, entitled, a flirt with a huge sexual appetite – childlike in his expectation that his every desire should be met”.

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM OCTOBER 12, 2026: British comedian Russell Brand arrives at Southwark Crown Court to stand trial on charges of three counts of rape, three counts of sexual assault and one count of indecent assault, to all of which he pleaded not guilty and denies the allegations against him, in London, United Kingdom on October 12, 2026.

The jury heard disturbing details from the six complainants about their encounters with Brand.

One complainant, who claimed Brand raped her, told the court that she “spent months and years blaming herself.” She added that Brand texted her after the encounter, saying “I want to push you further.”

She said that she replied: “I think you pushed me far enough – you treated me like an animal.” According to her, Brand replied: “I’m sorry.”

Brand pled not guilty to the charges in February, telling journalists on Wednesday, “I feel blessed. I feel, of course, concerned, but hopeful that this process will lead to good outcomes for everybody — that is my prayer.”

After the complainant’s accounts were heard, the prosecutor said that Brand told police in 2023 that “he has never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity, and that any accounts had been reinvented or imagined after a defamatory documentary and subsequent press reporting”.

The trial is expected to last for six weeks.

If you or someone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available 24 hours a day through RAINN‘s National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-4673.

The dramatic breakup of the Kody Brown family didn’t just end a decades-long plural marriage, it permanently changed the relationships between everyone involved on TLC’s Sister Wives.

Reflecting on where things stand today, one of the show’s stars candidly admitted that the idea of the family as a single, connected unit is officially over. With former spouses living entirely separate lives, any remaining hope of maintaining a central family bond appears to have vanished.

In a joint Instagram update, Meri Brown, Janelle Brown, and Christine Brown Woolley gave fans a look at what’s ahead for Season 21. Addressing how drastically their world has shifted, Woolley reflected on what life looks like now that all three women have officially walked away from their marriages to Kody.

The women were asked by producers to use one word to describe the family’s current state. Christine didn’t hesitate, delivering a blunt reality check that summed up just how completely the once-tight group has fractured.

“Changed. Its not family anymore,” Christine claimed. “It’s completely different now.”

“If I were to use one word to describe our family, I’d say ‘complicated,” added Meri Brown.

Janelle believes that family is a “choice.” For her, stepping away from the old dynamic means actively choosing who stays in your life, and putting energy into the bonds that truly matter.

Fans reacted to the update. They shared their remarks in the post’s comments section.

“Factionalized or fragmented would best describe the family (coming from a long-time viewer’s point of view. Obviously, I’m not a part of it, so I wouldn’t truly know),” assessed one follower.

A second viewer penned, “I love seeing you 3 women happy!! What an amazing transformation after detaching.”

A third fan disagreed with Kody’s third ex-wife Christine. They wrote, “Why is Christine so negative? They all share kids, they will always be family.”

As Season 21 unfolds, it’s clear that while the old plural family structure is officially in the rearview mirror, Janelle, Christine, and Meri are focused on building life on their own terms. They may no longer share a husband, but their candid updates prove they are finally moving forward, much to fans’ delight.

Paul McCartney has a bone to pick with filmmakers who bring the Beatles to the big screen, and it comes down to one specific detail. 

For years, McCartney and John Lennon were close friends and songwriting partners in the Beatles, but their relationship became rocky around the band’s 1970 breakup. They eventually put their differences aside before Lennon was murdered in 1980. 

While their complicated relationship has been well-documented, McCartney recently brought up another issue involving how the Beatles are portrayed. He discussed it during an appearance on Amy Poehler’s podcast, “Good Hang with Amy Poehler.”

The conversation started when Poehler asked about the age difference between the Beatles. George Harrison was about a year and a half younger than McCartney, he explained, while Lennon was about a year and a half older.

That led Poehler to ask what seemed like an obvious question, “Who was the tallest?” “We were all the same height,” replied McCartney, 84, raising a finger to emphasize his point.

“You really were,” Poehler said with a smile, clearly aware she was getting into some sensitive territory. “You know I’ve got a thing about that, do you?” McCartney retorted as Poehler laughed and played coy. 

McCartney went on to explain that the Beatles were all about the same height, with Ringo Starr being the only slightly shorter member. “And if you look at photos, we’re all the same height,” he noted. 

View this post on Instagram

McCartney’s frustration partly dates back to Nowhere Boy, Sam Taylor-Johnson’s 2009 biopic about Lennon. The film starred Aaron Taylor-Johnson as a teenage Lennon and Thomas Brodie-Sangster as McCartney. 

McCartney recalled that the film made his character look smaller and weaker than Lennon, including a scene in which Lennon knocks him to the floor. “My character is kind of … wimpy … smaller than John … John knocks me to the floor,” he said. “And it’s like, ‘Sam, this is not true!’” 

As McCartney recalled it, the director brushed off his concern, saying, “This is a movie, it’s not a documentary.” He wasn’t satisfied with the response. “Well, I don’t like that explanation,” the frontman recalled telling her, joking that he had been reduced to “little Paul” beside Lennon’s “great big hero.”

And with another Beatles movie on the horizon, McCartney is making sure the same problem doesn’t happen again. 

Poehler brought up the upcoming four-part Beatles film project directed by Sam Mendes, in which Paul Mescal is set to play McCartney. She noted that Mescal, who is around McCartney’s height, will be portraying the musician on screen while Harris Dickinson, who plays Lennon, is taller.

McCartney said he had already raised the issue with Mendes. “I said, ‘Sam, I’ve got just one thing that I need to say to you.'”

The singer then recalled seeing a still from the film recreating the Beatles’ iconic Abbey Road album cover. He wasn’t happy with how it turned out. “And the Paul character is markedly smaller!” McCartney said.

Poehler noted that correcting the height difference could be tricky, given that McCartney wasn’t wearing shoes in the original photograph. “And you can’t put lifts on that bare feet,” she joked.

“That’s true!” McCartney replied, explaining that he texted Mendes, “‘Sam! Smaller! Don’t do this! You said you wouldn’t do it!'”

According to McCartney, Mendes explained that the difference in their “stride patterns” made the height gap stand out in the image. The director later sent him another shot in which the two characters appeared to be the same height.

When you decide it’s time to take control of your cardiovascular health, your mind might instantly leap to overwhelming, dramatic life changes. We often picture grueling workout routines, throwing out all our favorite comfort foods or coping with an intimidating list of new daily prescriptions. That anxiety around heart health is deeply personal, and it can leave you feeling vulnerable. Nobody wants to worry whether their body can handle life’s daily stresses, especially when it comes to the steady thrum of their pulse or the pressure coursing through their arteries.

It’s entirely natural to feel overwhelmed when thinking about blood pressure readings or cardiac longevity, but supporting your body doesn’t mean you have to turn your entire life upside down overnight. In fact, top medical specialists consistently remind us that some of the most impactful, doctor-backed wellness habits start with small, simple changes right on your dinner plate. While viral food trends frequently highlight chia seeds and flaxseeds for their impressive fiber and omega-3 content, leading cardiologists say another crunchy staple deserves a permanent place in your kitchen pantry.

This frequently overlooked food packs an exceptional balance of crucial minerals that work directly to help relax your blood vessels, keep blood pressure balanced and support a steady cardiac rhythm. If you’re searching for an accessible, expert-recommended way to nurture your heart, doctors say it’s time to look beyond standard smoothie toppers and embrace a nutrient-dense option that delivers noticeable results without any hassle.

The Essential Nutrient Your Cardiovascular System Is Craving

Cardiologists say pumpkin seeds are one of the most powerful foods you can add to your diet to support steady heart function. To understand why doctors are so enthusiastic about this specific crunch, it helps to look at the vital mineral hidden inside: magnesium. Millions of adults don’t get enough magnesium in their daily diets, which can affect how effectively blood vessels expand and how smoothly electrical signals travel across heart tissue.

Board-certified interventional cardiologist and functional medicine doctor Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj, MD, FACC, previously told Parade that certain minerals play a crucial role in protecting the heart over time.

“Magnesium, which is important for balanced blood pressure and heart rhythm, is found in fiber-rich bananas and leafy greens, as well as protein- and omega-3-rich pumpkin seeds and flaxseeds,” Dr. Bhojraj explained.

Pumpkin seeds—also known as pepitas—stand out as a power-packed source of this essential mineral. Magnesium works like a natural mechanism to calm the vascular system. When your body has adequate amounts, it signals the smooth muscle cells in your blood vessel walls to relax instead of constricting. This vascular relaxation allows blood to flow with less resistance, helping maintain balanced blood pressure levels. And magnesium plays a vital role in regulating essential electrolytes like potassium and calcium within cardiac cells, ensuring your heart maintains a steady, dependable beat.

How Top Heart Doctors Put This Nutrient-Dense Staple to Work

Knowing which foods contain vital nutrients is wonderful, but learning how to effortlessly turn them into delicious, everyday meals is what creates lasting health benefits.

Dr. Bhojraj doesn’t just recommend pumpkin seeds to his patients—he regularly includes them in his own evening meals. When describing his personal go-to dinner, he said he pairs grilled salmon with a generous helping of roasted vegetables like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots or zucchini. To make the plate deeply satisfying and rich in cardioprotective benefits, he adds a side of lentils or quinoa, fresh avocado and a generous sprinkle of pumpkin seeds before drizzling everything with olive oil.

“That’s it,” Dr. Bhojraj shared. “High fiber, quality protein, healthy fats, rich in potassium and magnesium and phytonutrients, and it’s satisfying without sending blood sugar on a rollercoaster.”

Adding pumpkin seeds to your routine requires almost no extra effort. You can toss a handful of raw or dry-roasted pepitas over green salads, stir them into warm grains, sprinkle them over roasted squash or blend them into homemade sauces. By adopting a straightforward habit that offers genuine peace of mind, protecting your heart doesn’t feel like a chore—it feels like a delicious daily routine.

Billy Crystal is opening up about the painful loss of his dear friend, Rob Reiner.

Crystal, 78, a comedy icon known for films ranging from When Harry Met Sally to City Slickers, had a 50-year friendship with Reiner, who tragically died on December 15, 2025, alongside his wife, Michele Singer Reiner. Their son, Nick Reiner, was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. But despite the tragic circumstances of their untimely death, Reiner’s legacy is living on through his other children and his lifelong friends. In a revealing new interview with PEOPLE, Crystal shared that after the first full run-through of his new one-man show, 860, his first thought was to reach out to his friend Reiner.

“I felt so good,” Crystal told the publication. “And my first thought was, ‘I’ve got to call Rob.’ I don’t know if I don’t want that to keep happening or I do want it to keep happening…I don’t know.”

Crystal shared that Reiner was a supportive friend who stood by him through the development of his one-man show.

“He encouraged me,” Crystal explained. “I told him what I was doing, and he went, ‘Great, great,’ and because we’d just done some workshops, he asked, ‘What are you calling it?’ I gave him [some] titles, and he said, ‘I don’t know….’ and then I said, ‘I think 860.’ And he said, ‘That’s the one. I love that.’ So he’s there for me in that way too. What can I tell you…”

How Did Billy Crystal and Rob Reiner Meet?

Crystal and Reiner met in 1977 after TV producer Norman Lear saw Crystal’s set at the Comedy Store in LA, the article notes.

“I did 20 minutes,” Crystal shared. “He just introduced himself: ‘I’m Norman Lear.’ And Carl Reiner [Rob’s dad] also happened to be there that night too. Two weeks later, I got a call that Norman wanted me to play Rob Reiner’s best friend. ‘I think you and Robbie will be great together.’”

The series was, of course, the legendary show All in the Family, which starred Rob Reiner as the beloved “Meathead” opposite Carroll O’Connor.

Phoebe Cates didn’t choose showbiz. Showbiz chose her before she had much say in it. Her father Joseph Cates was a Broadway producer who helped create The $64,000 Question. Her uncle Gilbert Cates produced the Academy Awards. Growing up in New York City with those 2 men in her family meant the entertainment industry was just the wallpaper of her childhood.

What she actually wanted was to dance. She was working toward a scholarship at the School of American Ballet, and by all accounts she was getting close. Then at 14 she tore up her knee, and that was the end of that. She pivoted to modeling — she’d started at 10 and already had the covers of Seventeen, Elle and British Vogue under her belt. She was good at it. She just didn’t like it. “It was just the same thing over and over,” she said. “After a while I did it solely for the money.” One night at a Studio 54 party, she met a film agent and thought, why not. She made her film debut in Paradise in 1982 at 18.

Later that same year, she played Linda Barrett in Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Rolling Stone would call 1 scene “the most memorable bikini-drop in cinema history.” She was 18, and she’d never made a major film before. It made her a household name in about 90 minutes.

She kept working. Gremlins in 1984. Drop Dead Fred in 1991. In 1983, she went to audition for The Big Chill and met an actor named Kevin Kline in the waiting room. He was 35. She was 19. She didn’t get the part — Meg Tilly did, but Kline didn’t forget her. When their paths crossed again 2 years later at the New York Public Theater, he decided he had to do something about it. He tracked down her former assistant and asked them to set up a date. It worked. They got married in 1989. Their son Owen was born in 1991 and their daughter Greta in 1994. Greta grew up to become a musician known as Frankie Cosmos.

Her last film was Princess Caraboo in 1994. She was 31. She and Kline had agreed a long time before that 1 of them would always be home with the kids. His career kept growing. She stepped back. No press conference. No statement. No farewell interview. She just left — and Hollywood barely noticed until she was already gone.

She Never Looked Back

Here’s how quiet it was. Her first acting credit after quitting was in 2001 — 7 years later — when she did The Anniversary Party as a favor to her old friend and former Fast Times co-star Jennifer Jason Leigh, who was directing. Then she was gone again for another 25 years.

In 2005, she opened a boutique called Blue Tree on Madison Avenue in New York, and she’s been running it ever since. Her husband Kevin Kline starred in a 2026 comedy series called American Classic alongside Laura Linney and Tony Shalhoub. She’s 63. She still lives in New York with Kline. Gremlins 3 is hitting theaters on October 6, 2028, with Chris Columbus directing and Steven Spielberg producing. No casting has been announced. Nobody’s heard from her about it.

On Oct. 14, 1994, a strange, violent and wildly unconventional crime movie arrived in American theaters and proceeded to change the trajectory of independent filmmaking.

Thirty-two years later, Pulp Fiction isn’t just remembered as the movie that made Quentin Tarantino one of Hollywood’s most celebrated filmmakers. It has repeatedly been ranked among the greatest movies ever made.

In 2006 Total Film Magazine ranked Pulp Fiction the No. 3 greatest film of all time and called it “brutal, funny and with a wonderfully skewed narrative.” Two years later, an Empire poll combining votes from readers, critics and movie industry professionals ranked it No. 9. In recent years, Collider has ranked Pulp Fiction as both the No. 1 greatest Tarantino film and the No. 1 film released since 1990. And Entertainment Weekly ranked this “low-down dirty tale” at the top of its list of the 100 New Movie Classics.

That’s quite a legacy for a movie made for just $8 million.

Written and directed by Tarantino from a story he conceived with Roger Avary, Pulp Fiction weaves together multiple stories about criminals and other colorful characters in Los Angeles, unfolding in a deliberately nonlinear order.

The ensemble cast included John Travolta as Vincent Vega, Samuel L. Jackson as Jules Winnfield, Uma Thurman as Mia Wallace, Bruce Willis as Butch Coolidge and Harvey Keitel as Winston Wolfe, alongside Tim Roth, Amanda Plummer, Ving Rhames, Eric Stoltz, Rosanna Arquette and Christopher Walken.

By the time Pulp Fiction opened nationwide on Oct. 14, it was already generating enormous buzz.

The movie had premiered at the Cannes Film Festival that May and walked away with the prestigious Palme d’Or. When it finally hit U.S. theaters, audiences showed up.

According to History, the movie went on to earn more than $100 million at the domestic box office, over 10 times what it cost to make. It was also a critical sensation, eventually receiving seven Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture.

Tarantino and Avary won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, while Travolta, Jackson and Thurman all received acting nominations.

The movie also gave Travolta’s career a remarkable second act.

Travolta had become one of Hollywood’s biggest young stars in the 1970s thanks to movies including Saturday Night Fever and Grease, but his career had cooled considerably by the early ’90s. His Oscar-nominated performance as ponytailed hitman Vincent Vega suddenly put him back at the center of Hollywood.

Pulp Fiction would have an even bigger impact on the movie business itself.

In 2013, the Library of Congress selected the film for preservation in the National Film Registry, which recognizes movies considered culturally, historically or aesthetically significant.

The Library of Congress described Pulp Fiction as a “milestone in the evolution of independent cinema in the United States,” noting that it influenced a generation of filmmakers and had a lasting impact on the industry.

It’s easy to see why.

Thirty-two years after audiences first watched Vincent and Jules debate a “Royale with Cheese,” Mia Wallace and Vincent twist at Jack Rabbit Slim’s and Jules contemplate divine intervention, Pulp Fiction remains embedded in pop culture.

And on Oct. 14, 2026, the movie that would eventually be voted the No. 3 greatest film of all time officially turns 32.

It’s one thing to find out you’re having a baby, but it’s a whole other thing when you remember you’re the one who gets to name them. Talk about pressure! Even though there are thousands of options to choose from, that doesn’t seem to make the important task any easier for soon-to-be parents. Sometimes, it helps to think about the decision from a different angle—like figuring out which names you don’t want to use. To assist even further, we’ve compiled an endangered names list featuring 11 classic baby names that are dropping off the charts, according to baby name expert Colleen Slagen of Naming Bebe.

This way, you can see which monikers could soon become nearly extinct and cross them off your list if you want a modern name, or you can go completely against the grain. If you’ve been trying to find a baby name that won’t be one you hear everywhere, these under-the-radar classics could give you some inspiration. After all, choosing a less common moniker could be one way to make sure your little bundle of joy stands out from the crowd.

Either way, while you’re waiting to meet your newest family member, take a look at the names Slagen says may not be used for much longer. You might be surprised by a few of the names that made the list. And who knows? You may even have one of them yourself.

The Endangered Names List: Why Classic Baby Names Are Dropping off the Charts

Slagen tells Parade that there’s a reason why some names are endangered more than others when it comes to classic ones people are choosing for their sons and daughters.

“It needs to feel old enough to feel new again,” she explains. “Meaning, the parents naming the child can’t have strong associations with the name. So parents now are reaching more for classics from the first half of the 20th century as opposed to names that were popular in the second half.”

She continues, adding that baby names “tend to go through generational cycles and can fall out of fashion.”

“A name becomes popular among one generation of parents, and then decades later it can become strongly associated with the people who were given that name during its peak,” she states. “For example, ‘Linda’ has a strong association with Baby Boomers, while ‘Jessica’ has a strong association amongst Millennials. You don’t come across many babies [today] named Linda or Jessica.”

11 Classic Baby Names That Could Soon Disappear Completely

According to Slagen, these are some of the top classic baby names that could no longer be used by people expecting babies in the near future.

1. Cynthia

While this is a pretty name for a girl, Slagen points out that the reason it’s not used much today is that it’s dated.

“This is a Greek name meaning ‘from Mt. Cynthus’ and is no longer being used as much,” she points out, sharing that it’s also “now highly associated with the 1950s/1960s.”

2. Donald

“When it comes to names that are disappearing, because this name has a strong association to the 1950s, combined with a certain ‘pop culture’ reference, it has really put Donald on the chopping block,” she notes, adding, “This boy’s name is Scottish and means ‘ruler of the world.'”

3. Karen

There’s a good chance you’re familiar with this name, though that doesn’t mean parents-to-be are considering it.

“Even if Karen had not become a slang term with a negative connotation, it likely would have naturally cycled out of fashion because it was a top 10 name in the 1950s and 1960s. In fact, every mom I knew growing up was named Karen, including my own,” says Slagen. “It does have multiple origins, though, one of which is Scandinavian meaning ‘pure’.”

4. Susan

“A top 10 name for 20 years (1945-1968), Susan is now outside the top 1,000 most popular names,” Slagen tells Parade. “While Susan may be a name that is disappearing, it has the Hebrew origin meaning ‘lily,’ and the name Lily could perhaps be a more modern way to honor the name Susan.”

5. Gary

As far as boy names go, Gary isn’t one that will be used very much, Slagen shares.

“Another name that could disappear is Gary as it has ‘grandpa energy’ to today’s naming parents,” she states. “It was a very popular choice amongst parents in the 1930s-1960s. Interestingly, it’s a name with multiple origins meaning ‘spear’ and shares a lot of similarities to popular names of today as it’s short, soft and four letters.”

6. Caitlin

You might be shocked to see this name included.

“One of the names of the 1980s/1990s (and even into the early 2000s) is Caitlin, Kaitlin and Katelyn, which has begun to fall out of style in the last 20 years,” Slagen tells Parade. “It is an anglicized version of a Gaelic name, but I haven’t once seen it on one of my client’s baby name lists. We are seeing a pattern of names starting with a C/K sound and ending in N not being as popular as they once were.”

7. Liz

Some names that sadly might not be around much longer include nicknames, according to Slagen. One of those is Liz.

“Elizabeth is a Hebrew name meaning ‘my god is my oath,’ and Liz is a nickname for it that has a strong association to women in their 30s/40s today,” she shares. “While Elizabeth will likely always be popular, the generational nicknames for it will change, with parents today favoring Elle, Ellie, or Ella, making Liz one of the past, which is why it’s a name you might not hear much of anymore.”

8. Douglas

“This is a Scottish name that means ‘dark river’ and was a classic name for so long and only recently has started falling out of trend, which is more surprising since it was never a top 10-20 name,” explains Slagen. “I don’t think the ‘Dougie’ helped its staying power.”

9. Kathleen

“Every single person I know has an Aunt Kathy,” Slagen explains, which is why she says it’s one that parents today likely won’t be using.

“Kathleen is an Irish name meaning pure and it peaked around 1950,” she continues. “However, it’s a girl name that might disappear because it is more of a ‘grandma name’ in 2026.”

10. Chuck

If you know someone named Chuck, they might be the last person you know by that name as the years go on.

“This is an example of a generational nickname for a classic name, Charles, which is of English origin meaning ‘free man’. While Charles is very much alive and well, Charlie is the go-to nickname, while Chuck feels ‘dated’ and could disappear as a name,” Slagen shares.

11. Craig

“When it comes to boy names that could soon be no longer used, Crag is one. It’s a Scottish name meaning ‘rock,’ and has dad vibes today even though it was a name that was a mainstay of the 1970s/1980s,” Slagen points out.

Why Parents Are Turning Away From Once-Timeless Names

If you’re looking for a baby name and none of these monikers crossed your mind, you’re probably not alone. Slagen says there’s a reason why parents-to-be aren’t considering these once popular names.

“Most of these are names that were once very popular, which gives them a strong association to a certain generation,” she tells Parade. “The most at-risk names are names heavily used during the ’50s/’60s (Baby Boomers), which may feel like ‘mom names’ or ‘dad names’ to the current generation of parents. And Millennial names, which parents likely have strong peer associations with.”

How To Use an ‘Extinct’ Classic Name as a Unique Modern Pick

All of this doesn’t mean you can’t use these names if you’re getting ready to have a bundle of joy, though. There are ways you can frame these declining names if you’re a parent seeking a name everyone knows, but no one else in the classroom will have.

“If you’re looking to go against the grain and lead the ‘comeback’ of certain names, these names are perfect for that,” Slagen reveals.

She says you can even pair them with modern middle names or fresh, novel nicknames to honor a name that may not be popular any longer.

“If you’re looking to honor a parent who has a name that has fallen out of fashion, there are creative ways to do that,” she shares. “If your mom is Carol, you could use Caroline. If your dad was Stephen, you could use Stevie for a girl, or if your mom was Judith, you could use Jude for a boy. You may even be more inclined to use a name like this in the middle or to use it as inspiration. For instance, Linden could be [used] instead of Linda and Janie could be used instead of Janet.”

After filling giant stadiums for years, Garth Brooks is taking a step back to bring the music a whole lot closer to his fans.

The country legend just announced new dates for his Blame It All On My Roots arena tour, a throwback-style series of shows designed to recreate the raw, personal energy of his iconic 1990s concerts. Instead of massive open-air venues, Brooks is sticking strictly to indoor arenas, and he’s keeping ticket prices simple with a single flat rate for all fans.

The tour pays direct homage to his legendary 1996 World Tour, even bringing back fan-favorite production elements like his famous steel drum pod. For Brooks, the shift from multi-night stadium runs back to classic basketball arenas isn’t just about nostalgia: it’s about the energy.

“Going back into the arenas is about putting the stadium show in a box,” Brooks explained in a quote reprinted by Taste of Country. “The excitement gets multiplied by the intimacy. Every seat is a great seat. This is personal.”

Brooks shared a new tour stop, Seattle, Washington, via Instagram. The country superstar wrote, “SEATTLE, GARTH’S COMING TO YOU! The Blame It All On My Roots Tour is headed to Climate Pledge Arena for TWO NIGHTS, November 13 & 14! Seattle, we can’t wait!!!”

Every ticket comes in at a flat $155.50 (which includes the $140 base ticket plus standard facility and service fees). Whether you end up in the lower bowl, behind the end stage, or right around the arena floor, Brooks is sticking to a single, straightforward price for every seat in the house.

On his website, the country music legend added, “This tour has given birth to the motto ‘diversity in unity’,” Garth says in anticipation. “It’s all ages, all kinds, singing EVERY word to EVERY song!!!”

“One of the things I love about the Retro Tour is getting to play the places you played in the beginning,” he continued. “The thought of squeezing this show into an arena will be like catching lightning in a bottle!”

Brooks first played Tacoma in 1991 as an opening act for The Judds on their Farewell Tour. He returned as a headliner for in the Summer of 1993, reported his official website.

Seattle was the next place the country superstar played during his 1996-1998 World Tour at the former Key Arena. He last played the area nine years ago, in 2017, for his Comeback Tour.

Tickets for Garth Brooks’ Seattle shows go on sale beginning Friday, October 23 at 10 a.m. PT at Ticketmaster.com.

Schumer is Living Her Best Life

Schumer and her husband of 7 years, Chris Fischer, split back in January. But two months after announcing the split, Schumer made it clear she’s feeling better than ever.

“I am the healthiest I’ve ever been. Laughing hard with your friends is so essential,” Schumer wrote on Instagram in February, OK! shared. “Close your eyes and breathe. Move around. Jump in water whenever you have the chance and get your face out of your screen and in front of other people.”

She echoed that sentiment earlier this summer, smiling brightly as she put on a wetsuit to jump into the ocean.

“I never knew there would be days like this. No filter as per ushe,” she captioned the smiling shot.

Jenna Johnson thanked fans for their support following the live Dancing with the Stars show on Oct. 13. In the early morning hours of Oct. 14, the veteran pro dancer, who is partnered with Glee and Grey’s Anatomy star Harry Shum Jr. in the 35th season of the ABC ballroom competition, posted to her Instagram stories with a message to her followers.

Johnson, 32, captioned a photo of herself with tears in her eyes while holding a tissue against her cheek.

“Just had a good cry reading all your beautiful comments and messages. Love you guys,” the DWTS pro wrote.

The post came hours after Johnson’s choreography for her Week 5 Samba with Shum was heavily criticized by judge Carrie Ann Inaba.

After the two performed the Samba to Usher‘s “Yeah!” during DWTS’ Super Bowl Night, Inaba said, “If that was a halftime show, amazing, I loved every minute of it. But it’s a samba.”

“You need to put more content into your dances,” she continued, adding that she spied a “lift” during the routine.

When Johnson questioned the lift, Inaba pulled out the rulebook. “Yeah, it was a lift,” she said. “A lift is any movement during which one of the dancers has both feet off the floor at the same time with the assistance or support of their partner. Yeah, lift.”

Shum Jr. and Johnson appeared dumbfounded as judge Derek Hough attempted to defuse the awkward situation by saying, “Dang…I feel like I got told off.”

In the skybox, Johnson told DWTS co-host Julianne Hough that she had misunderstood the definition of a lift.

“I totally understand. I thought it was if you lifted your partner,” Johnson said. “But I totally hear Carrie Ann. I will take it. Sure.”

Johnson and Shum Jr. ultimately received 33 out of 40 points from the judges, and plenty of support from fans who voted to keep them safe.

In comments posted to YouTube, fans reacted to Johnson’s choreography for the samba.

“This dance was amazing!” one fan wrote. “I don’t care what Carrie Anne said. They slayed. Harry deserves better. Proud of my team!”

“The tough love tonight will only push them harder to stay on theme next time! They had the most halftime show energy though!” another fan wrote of Johnson and Shum Jr.

During DWTS Season 34, Inaba wasn’t as picky about illegal lifts when future winner Robert Irwin competed with Witney Carson. “Who cares about lifts?” Inaba said last year following Irwin’s foxtrot. “No one at this point. … Bravo!”

Demi Moore is giving fans a closer look at what she looks like without the red-carpet glam. 

The 63-year-old Substance star posed makeup-free in a new selfie with facialist Keren Bartov, who revealed they’ve been working together for four years.

In the photo, Moore showed off her dewy complexion and glowing skin while keeping things casual in a white T-shirt and navy joggers. Bartov posted the selfie to Instagram on Tuesday, October 13, sharing a sweet message about the actress.

“Demi @demimoore. What started four years ago as a dream come true has become a journey I cherish so deeply. Four years of taking care of your skin, sharing so many special moments, and getting to know the incredible woman behind the icon,” she wrote. 

Moore’s makeup-free look didn’t go unnoticed in the comments, especially by her daughter Tallulah Willis, who had a cheeky response to the photo.

“ok our MOM dang @scoutlaruewillis !!” Willis commented.

Celebrity stylist Brad Goreski also left a series of heart emojis, while one fan asked, “What kind of sorcery is this????!!! Just wow.”

“Wow. She looks great,” another person wrote, with someone else adding, “Wowww.”

Moore has shared some of her beauty secrets over the years, including why she prefers to keep her skincare routine simple. 

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar earlier this year, the actress explained that she doesn’t use an extensive range of products to care for her skin. 

“I am truly someone who likes to keep things very simple; I don’t like too much complication,” she said. “My general is a good cleanser, and that’s head-to-toe — basically cleansing and moisturizing are my two mainstays no matter what.”

“And then I sprinkle in the Absolue Longevity MD, which I’ve been using for three months now. So, I have my serum and my reset — the Reset serum and the moisturizer, and I’m good to go.”

She continued, “I’m a pretty simple gal, because I think more than anything, it’s not how much you do, it’s the consistency with which you can do it. It’s the same for my hair; I don’t like to overdo it, especially if you have long hair. And when I’m not working, I also generally don’t wear any makeup; I keep it really clean and fresh.”

From starring as a father who dooms his family to be haunted by a horrifying entity in the bona fide scariest movie, Sinister, to making a chilling mark as modern horror’s boogeyman, The Grabber, in The Black Phone film series, Ethan Hawke still has more to explore in the genre. This time, The Lowdown actor reunites with his frequent collaborators, filmmaker Scott Derrickson (The Gorge) and writer C. Robert Cargill (The Black Phone 2), for Midnight Radio, a supernatural audio serial coming to iHeartPodcasts.

In a report from Deadline, Hawke discussed the collaboration that will be released later this month: “None of us had made a podcast before, so it was a blast to pour ourselves completely into a venture where we had total creative freedom.” The first episode of the nine-episode series will drop on October 22 on the iHeartRadio app and all major podcast platforms and follows a Late-Night AM radio host’s descent into a supernatural conspiracy after receiving a call from an anonymous source tied to a secret U.S. space mission omitted from history. What starts as a government cover-up peels away to reveal mind-bending interdimensional cracks, terrifying transmissions, and more in the upcoming psychological audio thriller.

Hawke continued, “There’s an intimacy to the audio-only medium that can be really powerful, and in our case, used to a terrifying effect. Of course, it requires great writing… Fortunately, Scott Derrickson and Cargill are two of the best writers I’ve ever worked with.”

Grey’s Anatomy fans know Harry Shum Jr. well. He’s also famous for Glee and Shadowhunters, but right now, he’s showing off his skills on the dance floor on Dancing with the Stars.

It’s sometimes hard to believe that he’s 44 years old, especially since many are used to watching him play a teenager or a young adult. Yet, his career in both dance and acting spans almost two decades, and so does his relationship with his wife, Shelby Rabara, who is just a year younger than her husband, at 43.

The two went on their first date around 2007, when they went to see the movie musical Dreamgirls. It was thanks to Rabara that Shum Jr. auditioned for the role of Mike Chang on Glee, landing his breakout role.

The two met almost by chance. A photographer put their headshots side-by-side, and when Shum Jr. saw the picture, he thought that Rabara was pretty. Because of that, he immediately recognized her, and it felt like the perfect match.

Shum Jr. and Rabara got engaged after six years of dating, with the Shadowhunters star taking his girlfriend on a vacation to Hawaii in October 2013. They then married two years later in Costa Rica, and they have never looked back since.

Rabara is a dancer and an actress, training in ballet and jazz. Basketball fans may recognize her from her time on the Los Angeles Lakers cheerleading squad, the Laker Girls, and she has also appeared on shows such as Goliath, 2 Broke Girls, and Grounded for Life.

Most recently, she joined the voice cast of Toy Story 5, where she voiced the character Snappy, the cute little camera. Steven Universe fans will also recognize her as the voice of Peridot in the Cartoon Network franchise.

How Many Times Has Harry Shum Jr. Been Married?

This is Shum Jr.’s first and only marriage.

Shum Jr. has often talked about the deep love and connection between the two of them, making it clear that he makes romance a priority. He wants to find ways to connect with Rabara outside of being a parent to their daughter.

How Many Children Does Harry Shum Jr. Have?

The two have one child together, a daughter named Xia. She was born in March 2019.

View this post on Instagram Have Harry Shum Jr. and Shelby Rabara Worked Together?

Rabara had a brief guest appearance on an episode of Glee after Shum Jr. landed the role of Mike. However, their work together has been in the publishing world.

They co-wrote a children’s picture book, Martee Dares to Dance. The entire story was a chance for the two to share their passions for both parenting and dancing, but it’s also a way to encourage children to have confidence in expressing themselves.

How Old Are Harry Shum Jr. and Shelby Rabara?

Shum is 44 years old, born on April 28, 1982.

Rabara is 43 years old, born on Oct. 5, 1983.

If you need to catch up on the first five books in Sarah J. Maas’ A Court of Thorns and Roses series, a fun, fit, and free way to do it just dropped.

Ahead of the release of A Court of Splintered Harmony on Oct. 27, online fitness platform Micro Squad is releasing a collection of workouts designed to catch readers up on everything that’s happened in Prythian since we last visited.

The challenge features 10-minute workouts described as “a 14-day fantasy fitness adventure inspired by A Court of Thorns and Roses,” and just kicked off on Oct. 14. Each day, a new workout from the series, creatively named “A Fortnight in Prythian,” will be released on the Micro Squad YouTube channel. Each workout blends strength, balance, and mobility exercises with recaps of Maas’ previous five books.

Samantha Willens, CEO and founder of Micro Squad, leads an ‘ACOTAR’-inspired workout designed to help fans train like Valkyries from the book series.

Micro Squad

Samantha Willens, a certified trainer who founded Micro Squad, first discovered Sarah J. Maas’ A Court of Thorns and Roses series in 2022 after a Pilates client recommended it. Inspired by the Valkyrie training featured in A Court of Silver Flames, she began creating themed workouts before developing Valkyrie Squad, a four-month fitness program incorporating Pilates, martial arts, yoga, meditation, and sword-training techniques.

“I wanted A Court of Silver Flames to be felt through every aspect of the program and to feel like you’re stepping straight into the books,” Willens tells Parade, “training alongside Nesta, Gwyn, and Emerie, filled with book references, scene descriptions, and plenty of Cassian-inspired sass.”

In addition to her free 14-day series, Willens offers the four-month Valkyrie Squad program, which takes members through four advancing levels: Novice, Blade, Valkyrie and Ataraxia. Through the workouts, Willens hopes to help fans connect with the characters they love while building strength, endurance, and confidence in their own lives.

“We can struggle and still get up like Nesta,” she says. “We don’t have to start out as this badass person who never falters.”

For Willens, the appeal of romantasy-inspired fitness goes beyond the books themselves. It’s about giving fans a way to bring the stories and characters they love into their everyday lives, while discovering just how powerful they can become.

“No, we can’t learn magic or grow wings,” says Willens, “but we can get stronger.”
