Diane Keaton’s Children Honor Mom 1 Year After Her Death, but Fans’ Stories Prove Love Never Dies

Mon, 10/12/2026 - 7:19am

Diane Keaton’s children are still learning to navigate life without their mom, but one year after the beloved actress’s death, fans are sharing personal stories that show just how deeply she touched people who never knew her personally. From a chance encounter at Target to memories of how her movies changed lives, the tributes are a reminder that Keaton’s legacy extends far beyond Hollywood.

On Oct. 11, Dexter Keaton White marked the first anniversary of her mother’s death with a black-and-white photograph of the two together on Dexter’s 2021 wedding day. The Annie Hall star died at 79 on Oct. 11, 2025, after developing bacterial pneumonia.

“One year without you, mom,” Dexter wrote on Instagram. “It somehow feels like yesterday and forever ago all at once.”

She continued, “I’m still trying to get used to a world where I can’t call you, have you there for a hug, or go on adventures with you.” Dexter added that everyday moments remind her how much she wishes her mother were still here, concluding, “I love you and I miss you. Always.”

Her brother, Duke Keaton, also honored their mother on Instagram, sharing three photos of the pair over the years. “I love you Mom Thinking of you every day,” he wrote.

The siblings’ posts prompted an outpouring of love, with fans sharing memories that underscored the personal connection many felt with the Oscar winner.

Actress Mary Steenburgen reacted to both posts with a heart emoji on Duke’s post and a broken heart on Dexter’s.

One commenter recalled unexpectedly meeting Keaton, Dexter and Duke at a Target store in Petaluma, California. The fan said she recognized Keaton’s voice, approached the family, and asked whether it was really her. Keaton confirmed her identity, and the family kindly posed for a photo.

“She was truly what she portrayed as an actress,” the fan wrote, describing Keaton as sweet, kind and genuine.

Another commenter reflected on Keaton’s lasting influence, thanking her for the laughter and for being an example of a woman who dared to live life in her own unmistakable way. Several people reflected on how Keaton was a role model. “Your Mom was a remarkable role model for so many of us. We miss her with you! Hugs to you,” another person wrote.

If You Love Hallmark Christmas Movies and Disney Parks, This New Vera Bradley Line Was Made for You

Mon, 10/12/2026 - 7:10am

If your ideal holiday evening involves wrapping yourself in a cozy throw, watching a feel-good romance on the Hallmark Channel, and planning your next trip down Main Street, U.S.A., prepare to swoon.

Vera Bradley has officially launched its newest seasonal collaboration: the Disney Hallmark Holiday Ever After collection. Available online and at Disney Springs, the limited-edition lineup brings together Disney park nostalgia, storybook charm, and the lightweight, machine-washable cotton quilting that travelers have sworn by for decades.

The collection serves as a real-life teaser for Holiday Ever After: A Disney World Wish Come True, the upcoming Hallmark Christmas movie starring holiday-movie royalty Lacey Chabert and Travis Van Winkle. Filmed on location across Walt Disney World, the rom-com follows two former dates forced to cross paths while vacationing side-by-side with their families during the most wonderful time of the year (airing November 28 on Hallmark Channel and streaming on Hallmark+).

What makes this release especially fun for Disney collectors is how seamlessly it weaves authentic park icons into classic holiday motifs.

The primary exterior print, Holiday Ever After Floral, is set against a crisp white quilted background layered in festive cranberry reds and forest greens. Peek closely at the pattern, and you’ll find Mickey and Minnie riding the Jungle Cruise, twirling in Mad Tea Party teacups, and admiring Cinderella Castle alongside wreaths, fir trees, and Main Street lampposts. Other sweet vignettes feature Donald Duck playing waiter for an Italian pasta dinner, Pluto delivering holiday letters, and gingerbread cottages.

Unzip any bag, and you are greeted by the playful interior lining: Holiday Ever After Candy, an all-over mint-green print dotted with red-and-white peppermint-swirl Mickey heads.

The Standout Pieces to Pack for Holiday Getaways

The collection centers on easy, travel-ready pieces made to throw over your shoulder at the airport or carry through the parks:

The Bancroft Backpack ($165): Built for airport travel and full park days, this pack pairs the white illustrated exterior with a dedicated laptop sleeve, multiple zip compartments, and expandable side water-bottle pockets. It also includes an essential luggage trolley sleeve to slide right over your rolling suitcase handle.
The Large Original Duffel ($145): A spacious, 22-inch workhorse that folds completely flat in your closet between trips. It features exterior slip pockets for quick-grab items and an airy interior that easily swallows a long weekend’s worth of bulky winter sweaters.
Small Original Vera Tote ($145): With a generous 12-inch shoulder strap drop, six interior slip pockets, and a top-zip closure to keep items secure under airline seats, this makes a darling everyday personal item.
Lorman Sling Backpack ($85): For hands-free park touring, this compact single-strap sling can be clipped to either the left or right side, keeping phones, sunglasses, and park maps organized without weighing you down.
Mickey Mouse Zip Charm ($25) & Zip ID Case ($25): Both small accessories feature the mint-green peppermint print. The Mickey-shaped pouch clips onto tote handles for lip balm and air pods, while the classic ID case includes a clear window and key ring for theme park cards.

With festive pop-ups hitting Disney Springs and holiday movie season right around the corner, this cheerful crossover brings just enough pixie dust to keep the spirit of the season alive wherever your holiday travels take you.

Queen Camilla Reveals How She and King Charles Keep Their Spark Alive Behind Palace Doors

Mon, 10/12/2026 - 7:07am

Navigating a decades-long romance under the constant glare of the global spotlight is no easy feat, but King Charles and Queen Camilla have found a way to stay deeply grounded.

For the royal couple, keeping their romantic spark alive comes down to a surprisingly simple, cozy ritual behind palace doors. Pulling back the curtain on their private life, the Queen recently revealed how the pair unwinds side-by-side at the end of the day, proving that true intimacy often lives in the quiet, everyday moments far away from the cameras.

Camilla’s commentary hail from the BBC documentary The Book That Changed My Life. Her remarks were shared via an Instagram reel.

She admits, “My husband and I actually read before dinner. We just like sitting quietly and reading. I occasionally, when I’m deep in a book, hear him roaring with laughter about something.”

Camilla added that Charles’ habit is “very off-putting. I can’t get back into my book, or I’ll suddenly start weeping, but it’s a lovely, quiet time.”

The royal is a champion of reading, particularly among children. Through her flagship charity, The Queen’s Reading Room, she actively promotes the joy of reading for all ages.

She said it would be a “tragedy” if books disappeared completely. “I think it would be a complete and utter tragedy if books went forever,” Camilla shared.

She continued, “It’s part of our heritage, if there’s no reading, personally [I think] we might as well all give up. Because I don’t think we’d even be human any longer.”

On her website for The Queen’s Reading Room, Camilla noted, “With their extraordinary power to educate and inspire, books — from authors around the globe — have enriched my life since I was a child.”

“It has therefore been such a joy to watch my Reading Room grow over the years into a thriving book community,” she continued. “Now a charity, I hope that we, together with our partners, can foster in adults and children alike a lifelong love of literature and connect more people with that special magic that can only be found in the leaves of a book,” Camilla continued.

Daredevil Cast Reunites, and It Feels Like 2016 All Over Again

Mon, 10/12/2026 - 6:45am

If you’ve enjoyed Daredevil and the MCU as much as I have, seeing three Defenders sitting on a New York Comic Con stage together was a delight. On Thursday, Marvel confirmed that the third and final season of Daredevil: Born Again will bring the Defenders back together.

Charlie Cox, Krysten Ritter and Finn Jones appeared at the panel, which was led by Brad Winderbaum, Marvel’s head of television, animation and comics. Mike Colter, who plays Luke Cage, did not attend but is set to return for the season. Set photos had fueled speculation about a reunion in April, when Colter and Jones were spotted on the New York set alongside Ritter.

The cast described what it felt like to be together again. Ritter said it felt as though “no time had passed,” and Jones said returning to set “felt like 2016 all over again.”

Marvel also showed the crowd an exclusive first look at the season. The footage opens with Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist seated together, and Jessica notes that Daredevil is missing because he is imprisoned after the events of season 2. Later clips show Matt Murdock behind bars, wrapping his hands and fighting hostile inmates.

The reunion came with big, and for many, unwelcome news. When Marvel confirmed that season 3 will be the last for the series, attendees at the Javits Center booed loudly. Cox responded with humor, saying, “All I’ll say is that I imagine the ‘Save Daredevil’ campaign will be gearing up for round two.” He added, “Listen, you don’t want to invite the wrath of the ‘Save Daredevil’ people!”

The upcoming season will be the first onscreen reunion of all four original Defenders since the 2017 Netflix miniseries. Vincent D’Onofrio is set to return as Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin.

Season 3 is expected to stream on Disney+ in 2027, but no premiere date was announced at the panel. The session was part of a larger Marvel presentation that also previewed Zodiac, a live-action spy thriller arriving on Disney+ in 2028, and the second season of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, which debuts January 13, 2027. It also previewed VisionQuest. Attendees saw its first episode, and the first two episodes premiere on Disney+ on October 14, concluding the story begun in WandaVision and Agatha All Along.

For viewers who followed Daredevil, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist from their separate Netflix series into the 2017 team-up, season 3 puts all four characters in one story again.

'80s Screen Icons Look Ageless as Star Rocks Stunning Platinum Blonde Hair in Rare Reunion Photo

Mon, 10/12/2026 - 6:31am

Movie fans who grew up on the edgy, cool energy of ’80s films know that certain stars hold a very special place in pop culture history.

So when a new picture surfaced showing two of the era’s most celebrated actresses together, the reaction was instantaneous. Capturing a rare, candid moment between the longtime friends, the photo showcased their timeless style and easy connection and left readers buzzing over one star’s stunning platinum blonde transformation that proves great style only gets better with time.

Martha Plimpton and Rosanna Arquette defined the era’s cool girls, actresses who weren’t afraid to lean into roles that others might think were too unconventional, eccentric, or far off the Hollywood beaten path. Decades later, both women continue to navigate life and their careers entirely on their own terms, bringing that exact same authentic energy to a striking new photo that has fans buzzing.

Arquette and Plimpton were snapped embracing in a casual moment. On Instagram, Arquette praised her friend’s work as Faye in the new Netflix limited series East of Eden, telling fans the project is a must-see. While the post’s privacy settings prevented direct embedding, fans can view the viral snapshot on Arquette’s feed.

She wrote, “I’m so proud of Martha Plimpton’s stunning work in East of Eden. Brava. It’s an epic masterpiece. Wow, Florence Pugh! And Zoe Kazan’s brilliant adaptation of one of the great novels. The whole cast is fantastic. See it on Netflix.”

Fans were quick to react to the post, showering the duo with compliments. Commenters celebrated seeing two beloved screen icons together again, with many calling the snapshot a nostalgic treat and pointing out that true star power only grows stronger with time.

“Could not agree more! I’m always happy to see Martha in anything! Such a treat!” exclaimed one fan.

A second viewer penned, “She was so sweet and vulnerable! It was heartbreaking! I hope she gets the recognition she deserves.”

“My two favorite ’80s actresses together in one photo! Cool girls, it girls, gorgeous today as always,” wrote a third Instagram user.

In the 1980s, Plimpton was best known for her role in The Goonies, The Mosquito Coast, Running on Empty, Parenthood, and a series of Calvin Klein ads. Arquette starred in Desperately Seeking Susan, The Executioner’s Song, After Hours, and The Big Blue.

In an industry that often tries to box women in, Rosanna Arquette and Martha Plimpton have spent their careers breaking the mold. Their reunion is proof that their much-beloved rebellious, cool-girl spirit is alive and well.

Love Fall but Hate Crowds? Travel Experts Recommend These 6 Fall Weekend Getaways

Mon, 10/12/2026 - 6:10am

Fall travel is very easy to romanticize, until you’re sitting in standstill traffic outside a famous foliage town with half the East Coast. As much as I love to chase foliage, and that’s a lot, I already spend so much of my week in traffic commuting to work, and the last thing I want is to be stuck in bumper-to-bumper traffic on my vacation too. So, instead of flocking to Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, or New York, I’m eyeing towns that have all the charm of a weekend getaway without any of the crowds. That may mean trading leaves for beaches, but I’ll take that over spending 8+ hours in traffic.

That version of fall is exactly what the experts I spoke with recommend too. In a world where we’re all so busy, stressed, and just trying to keep up, they say it’s imperative to take trips that reset you, especially in a season designed around nesting. According to Michelle Groves, Head of Marketing, Fripp Island Golf & Beach Resort, “On Fripp Island, South Carolina, it’s not uncommon to find yourself with a wide stretch of sand to enjoy, whether you’re collecting shells, taking a morning walk, or simply settling in with a good book.”

Brad Ryan, who spent seven and a half years visiting every U.S. national park with his grandmother, Grandma Joy, found the same solitude at Colorado’s Black Canyon of the Gunnison. His prediction? “One day the world will catch up. Until then, enjoy its unique wonder with a lot more solitude,” he says.

Fripp Island sits between Charleston and Hilton Head, but it looks vastly different from South Carolina’s busier beach towns. The private barrier island has vacation homes instead of traditional hotels, and most people trade in their car keys for a golf cart once they arrive. Live oaks shade the roads, deer wander surprisingly close to the houses, and the island ends in miles of Atlantic shoreline and marsh. By fall, summer vacationers have mostly cleared out, but beach weather hangs around until the end of November, with temps in the upper 70s and low 80s.

For Michelle, she loves how the island can feel like its yours alone during the off-season. “Visiting Fripp after Labor Day is the perfect opportunity to experience the island’s uninterrupted coastline without the crowds that define the summer season. It’s not uncommon to find yourself with a wide stretch of sand to enjoy entirely to yourself.” While you’re there, spend an afternoon kayaking through the Spartina marshes or hop on a bike and cycle around. “A typical slow day might begin with a quiet morning walk along the beach, coffee in hand, as the sun rises over the Atlantic. From there, work on your tennis game on the newly updated courts or explore the island by golf cart or bicycle, spotting deer and other wildlife along the way,” Groves says. The island is also home to two award-winning golf courses, as well as over 175 species of birds and an equestrian center that offers horseback rides throughout the year.

There’s no shortage of events happening in October and November, too. From Fripp Fest, which takes place October 30 – November 1, and includes everything from an oyster roast to a Key West inspired evening, to a concert on Saturday. There’s also a chili cookoff on October 10th. Since the island is smaller, there aren’t a ton of options for restaurants, but Fripp Island Resort has the famed Bonito Boathouse (with a state famous smash burger), Cabana Club has a grille that overlooks the pool, and Roadhouse BBQ boasts a cookout every Wednesday, starting at 5pm, with a mouthwatering collection of smoked meats and classic Southern sides.

As a Midwest native, I’ve always fawned over Wisconsin during the fall. In fact, here’s a roadtrip idea if you’re still looking for a way to soak up the fall leaves in a place not ridden with crowds. To avoid the tourists of Door County, Wisconsin local Cory Scribner, recommends going north. Highway 13 works its way north toward Lake Superior through hardwood forest, then reaches towns like Ashland and Washburn before curling around the Bayfield Peninsula. Near Washburn, Houghton Falls Nature Preserve takes you through the woods to the lake itself, where the fall color climbs the hills behind a stretch of deep-blue Superior. Keep going toward Bayfield and then tiny Cornucopia, where Siskiwit River Falls gives you another waterfall hike before you reach the marina and beach. Scribner, who lives along Lake Superior’s south shore, calls the area home and admits his recommendations are appropriately biased.

His full route is longer than a weekend, but is well worth it if you’re a leaf peeper. “My week-long road trip centers around my backyard, and would be bookended by two fantastic waterfall hikes, with an amazing festival for good measure,” he says. “Start just north of the small town of Mellen at Copper Falls State Park and head north on Highway 13. Your final stop will be the tiny town of Cornucopia and Siskiwit River Falls. Here, you’ll touch the towns of Ashland, Washburn, and Bayfield along the way.” For this particular trip, he recommends coming after the Apple Festival in Bayfield, which is October 3 – 4. Bayfield tourism officials note that Lake Superior pushes peak color later into the season, and apples and other fall produce remain available through the end of October and you enjoy the splendor without 50,000 visitors.

According to Schriner, as you drive through Bayfield on your way around the peninsula, you have multiple options to enjoy the scenery around you. “You can head straight to Cornucopia or drive onto the ferry to Madeline Island for a truly unique northern Wisconsin fall adventure,” he says. “Or if you want a guided trip, hop on the Apostle Islands tour boat and take a 3-hour journey on the water to see the changing leaves from an entirely new perspective.” For him, his key stops in Bayfield are Hoops Dockside restaurant, which have caught-that-day fresh whitefish, and Honest Dog Books, which, according to Schriner, “has an amazing calendar of events in their space in addition to being an amazing bookstore.”

On his route, the final stop is Cornucopia, which Schriner says, “has a charming downtown street and the marina & beach hosts Siskiwit River Falls which will give you another incredible set of color-changing forest and beautiful waterfall to enjoy as you hike this gorgeous trail,” he says.

Curaçao “”

For those who don’t care much for leaves and prefer soaking up vibes of summer longer, Curaçao should be your go-to. Willemstad’s waterfront is lined with candy-colored Dutch architecture with intricate façades, the sea stays a cozy 84 degrees, and September through November is one of the island’s quieter travel periods. Daytime temperatures generally stay between 84 and 90 degrees, so you are actively trading sweaters for swimsuits. Curaçao also sits outside the main Atlantic hurricane belt, making direct hurricane hits exceptionally rare even though the broader Caribbean is still actively in a storm zone.

Baes yourself in Willemstad and walk across the floating Queen Emma Bridge between Punda and Otrobanda, then hop in your rental car and follow the coast west. Beaches become smaller and more tucked away as you leave the capital, often appearing at the bottom of limestone cliffs with water clear enough to see right to the bottom. Beaches, restaurants, and attractions are generally less busy from September through November.

When planning your meals, save one for Old Market, or Marshe Bieu, in Willemstad, where locals line up at the open-air food stalls for dishes like kabritu stoba, the island’s slow-cooked goat stew, with funchi and plantains on the side. Then spend some time away from the water and wander through the courtyards of the Kurá Hulanda neighborhood and visit the Museum Kurá Hulanda, which traces the trans-Atlantic slave trade and the African heritage that continues to influence Curaçao today. You can also snorkel off the west coast or head north to Shete Boka, where trails run along a much rougher stretch of coast and waves crash into caves carved into the limestone.

Lake Tahoe, California and Nevada

By October, Tahoe’s summer beach crowds are gone and the first skiers are still waiting for snow. In between, aspens turn bright yellow along the South Shore, and Lake Tahoe looks even bluer against the vibrant fall color. It is a very different version of a place many travelers only know in July or February, particularly in the morning when parking is plentiful along the beaches (like Kings in North Lake Tahoe) and there’s no queue at Fire Sign Café in Tahoe City for their famed eggs benedict or fluffy coffee cake.

Enjoy the colors at their peak at Taylor Creek, about three miles north of South Lake Tahoe, where the half-mile Rainbow Trail crosses forest and wetland on a paved, wheelchair-accessible route. Early to mid-October is particularly good for foliage, and later in the month bright-red kokanee salmon begin swimming upstream to spawn. In 2026, the visitor center remains open Thursday through Sunday until October 25, although the trails stay open after the building closes for the season. From there, continue along Highway 89 toward Fallen Leaf Lake or Emerald Bay, stopping for the many picturesque overlooks and short walks to soak up the beauty of this natural paradise.

Fall weekends also come with plenty to do outside of hiking. Start with breakfast at The Getaway Cafe in South Lake, a local favorite for big breakfasts — like the getaway burrito or the stuffed chorizo quesadilla. If you are visiting October 10 – 11, Meyers Mountain Fall Festival, takes over Tahoe Paradise Park with bluegrass music, a pumpkin patch, local food, and a beer garden. For something quieter, Clearly Tahoe’s clear-kayak tours continue into fall, following the western shoreline past historic estates and Taylor Creek while the morning water is typically at its calmest.

As popular as Colorado is, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park remains one of the country’s least-visited national parks. According to the National Park Service, In 2025, the park drew just 250,086 recreation visits, ranking 50th out of the 63 national parks. Author Brad Ryan, who has visited all 63 and wrote Grandma Joy & Me: A Journey of Healing One National Park at a Time, also considers it one of the most underrated. With some of the most jaw-dropping canyon views in the West, it is easy to see why. One moment you are walking toward an overlook, and the next, the ground has dropped thousands of feet toward the Gunnison River. The canyon walls are dark and startlingly steep, with the Painted Wall rising 2,250 feet from river to rim. Fall brings cold mornings and the possibility of early snow, but the South Rim Road is usually open to vehicles until mid-November, depending on conditions. “Grandma Joy and I imagined this park as the portal to a dark mythical underworld,” Ryan says.

Hiking this relatively untraversed park gives you a much closer look at the sheer scale of the landscape, from towering rock walls and narrow overlooks to the Gunnison River cutting through the gorge thousands of feet below. Ryan suggested starting at the Painted Wall Overlook and looking down. “Photographs simply cannot communicate the scale of this geologic treasure,” he says. “The tallest cliff in Colorado rises 2,250 feet from the Gunnison River, and the canyon is so narrow and precipitous that the experience feels almost otherworldly.” There are other trails worth checking out too, including the Rim Rock Trail, which runs about a mile one way along the South Rim, and the Warner Point Trail, which is roughly 1.6 miles round trip. For something steeper, Oak Flat Loop drops about 400 feet below the rim, and the North Vista Trail reaches Exclamation Point at 3.2 miles round trip or continues to Green Mountain for 7.2 miles in total. The North and South rims are separated by a two- to three-hour drive, so pick one side rather than trying to do both in a day.

There are no hotels or restaurants inside the park, so pack lunch and plenty of water and snacks if you plan to stay all day as picnic tables are available at Pulpit Rock, Sunset View, and High Point on the South Rim. You can sleep inside the park at South Rim Campground, about a mile from the visitor center, but if you’d prefer a soft bed and a hot meal, base yourself in Montrose, just 14 miles from the South Rim. The town has everything from smaller motels and B&Bs to larger hotels, plus dozens of restaurants, breweries, and cafés.

Oxford, Maryland Autumn on the trail in Maryland

If you’ve never heard of Oxford, you’re not alone. Imagine a place where October and November sounds like halyards tapping against sailboat masts. The tiny Eastern Shore town sits on the Tred Avon River, with brick sidewalks and centuries-old houses flanking the streets that run toward the water. To experience this quintessential New England-esque town, walk along the waterfront, visit the Oxford Museum, then take the Oxford-Bellevue Ferry across the river. The ferry carries just nine vehicles at a time and has been crossing the Tred Avon in some form for roughly 340(!!) years.

Oxford’s waterfront also holds a more complicated history. It was one of the Chesapeake’s early colonial ports and is the Eastern Shore’s only UNESCO-documented international slave-trade site, with at least 29 slave-trade voyages disembarking enslaved people here. In October, the town falls into the festivites with CommUNITY Fall Fest, which takes over the Oxford Community Center on October 17, 2026, and boasts hayrides, pumpkin decorating, live music, and a scarecrow contest. Come a little later and nearby Easton hosts the Waterfowl Festival from November 13–15, and is a three-day Eastern Shore tradition filled with wildlife art, retriever demonstrations, duck-calling competitions, and local food.

More than just crab cakes and football (name that movie), Oxford has a surprisingly great food scene. Start the morning at Oxford Social Cafe, a year-round coffee shop beside Town Park serving Quartermaine Coffee (which was created in 1991 by the original founder of Starbucks) and locally made baked goods. For dinner, head to Doc’s Sunset Grille, where tables face west over the Tred Avon and seasonal specials include soft-shell crab tacos alongside burgers, and mouthwatering crab soup. If you’re dining around sunset, you’ll get to see the boats silhouetted against the river and illuminate in a golden glow.

Joyce Bulifant Says Mary Tyler Moore Dropped Her as a Friend in 1976—and She Still Doesn’t Know Why

Mon, 10/12/2026 - 6:02am

In the 1970s, Joyce Bulifant had a recurring role on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, playing Marie Slaughter, the wife of Gavin MacLeod’s lead character Murray. But Bulifant didn’t appear in the iconic series finale in 1977, despite being told she would.

The famous episode “The Last Show” aired on March 19, 1977, on CBS and featured the main cast members (Moore, Ed Asner, Ted Knight, Gavin MacLeod and Betty White) as well as Georgia Engel’s Georgette Baxter, for the emotional newsroom farewell and group hug.

Speaking with Katchy Klassics with Kathy & Larry, Bulifant told podcast hosts Kathy Garver and Larry Dasilva that her part was cut from the iconic Mary Tyler Moore Show finale shortly after she married TV producer William Asher in 1976.

“That is a sad story for me,” Bulifant, 88, recalled. “I was going to do a musical called I Do! I Do! in Kansas City, and I got a call from the Mary Tyler Moore people saying, ‘We want you to be in the final episode.’ And I said, ‘Oh my gosh!’”

Bulifant said she got herself out of the commitment to the Kansas City musical and then received another phone call.

“A few weeks later, I got a call saying, ‘We didn’t have enough time to fit your story in, so you won’t be doing it,’” she shared. “But for some reason, and I don’t know what it is to this day, and I’ve asked everybody who worked on the show that I knew—producers, writers, actors—Mary, suddenly, when I married Bill Asher, she just dropped me as a friend, as anything on the show. I mean, everybody would go out to lunch, and she wouldn’t include me.”

“And it hurt, you know,” Bulifant continued. “And I wonder if Mary just said… I don’t know. I was never asked to be on the shows where everyone got together to do a reunion or anything. It was very sad, and it’s so sad to not understand.”

Bulifant divorced Asher in 1993, and Moore died in 2017 at age 80.

The actress previously told Closer Weekly that it was interesting to work with Moore.

“It’s interesting because as a person she was much more like the roles in the movies she did,” Bulifant recalled. “But her comic timing [was so good] that she was perfect as the show’s Mary.”

She also said she was honored to be part of the legendary sitcom.

“It’s very nice when people say, ‘One of the stars of The Mary Tyler Moore Show,’ but I really wasn’t. I was a recurring character,” she clarified. “But when people think about me, they think about Marie Slaughter. I’m still always amazed.”

In past interviews, Bulifant has said The Mary Tyler Moore Show cast members were always kind to her.

“The whole cast was wonderful,” she told Still Here Hollywood host Steve Kmetko earlier this year. “It was fun for me because I was doing three shows at the same time and that’s why I couldn’t always be there as Gavin’s wife, because I was doing a show called Love Thy Neighbor and I was doing the first Bill Cosby show… So, they had to get Georgia Engel because they needed a wife in there. And when we were on the set together, people said it sounded like stereophonic sound.”

“They were [a tight-knit group],” Bulifant added of the Mary Tyler Moore Show cast, noting that she developed close friendships with MacLeod and co-stars White and Valerie Harper.

What is FBI about?

FBI is a fast-paced drama about the inner workings of the New York office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This elite unit brings to bear all their talents, intellect and technical expertise on major cases in order to keep New York and the country safe. Born into a multigenerational law enforcement family, Special Agent Maggie Bell (Missy Peregrym) commits deeply to the people she works with as well as those she protects. Her partner is Special Agent Omar Adom “OA” Zidan (Zeeko Zaki), a West Point graduate via Astoria who spent two years undercover for the DEA before being cherry-picked by the FBI.

Also on the team are Special Agent Stuart Scola (John Boyd), an Ivy League-educated Wall Streeter-turned-FBI agent; and Special Agent Eva Ramos (Juliana Aidén Martinez), a former prosecutor with a background tackling violent crime and narcotics cases. Overseeing them are Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille (Alana De La Garza), who operates under intense pressure and has undeniable command authority; as well as Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine (Jeremy Sisto), the nerve center of the office, whose ability to easily relate to and engage with both superiors and subordinates makes him a master motivator. These first-class agents tenaciously investigate cases of tremendous magnitude, including terrorism, organized crime and counterintelligence.

Sean Ono Lennon Shares What He and Half-Brother Julian Really Inherited From John Lennon

Mon, 10/12/2026 - 5:37am

Sean Ono Lennon is setting the record straight about his and half-brother Julian Lennon’s inheritance from their late father, John Lennon.

The musician responded to a social media post that contrasted the brothers’ childhood experiences with their father and the way they allegedly benefited from his estate.

“One guy abandoned by his famous Dad, the other embraced and closely attended to by the same Dad, whom he then saw murdered as a young child. One guy inherited most of the estate, the other largely cut out and forced to engaged in decadeslong litigation in pursuit of a comparatively small share of it,” writer Wesley Yang wrote in part on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Sean disputed one of the post’s central claims, replying, “Julian and I inherited the same amount from our dad. Our trusts were equal. Although his was slightly more, but negligibly so.”

Julian and I inherited the same amount from our dad. Our trusts were equal. Although his was slightly more, but negligibly so.

— Seán Ono Lennon (@seanonolennon) October 12, 2026

Yang’s post referenced a photo Sean shared on Oct. 10 of himself and Julian spending time together outdoors. Sean captioned the image, “Had a great bday with my brother… @JulianLennon.”

The exchange has renewed attention on the brothers’ family history, including the legal dispute over their father’s estate following his death in 1980. Julian, John’s son with his first wife, Cynthia Lennon, was 17 when the former Beatles star was killed in New York City, while Sean, John’s son with Yoko Ono, was 5.

The inheritance issue has periodically resurfaced in online discussions about the Lennon family and the brothers’ respective relationships with their father’s legacy, though Sean has previously pushed back against speculation that he and Julian have a strained relationship, telling Vanity Fair that the brothers had always been close.

“Julian and I have always been close. He was my hero when I was young. He taught me to play guitar. He had a number one record when I was a tween, so he was literally one of the reasons I started playing music,” Sean told the outlet in 2025. “And this idea that we were ever fighting is…it’s almost like the ‘Yoko broke up the Beatles’ thing. No matter how many times I say it’s not true, no matter how many photos people see of us laughing and hanging out, they always say, ‘Oh, you should hang out with your brother.’ I’m like, ‘We do. I love him.’ It’s never been a problem. Ever.”

Take your pick from black, warm brown, or creamy maple, all featuring a curved black metal frame that supports each tier. The wood-grain finish lends the table a rustic appearance that wouldn’t be out of place in a cottagecore- or farmhouse-inspired interior. At the same time, the structure is so contemporary that it fits right into transitional and modern spaces with ease. That kind of versatility makes this cool table a fun choice for nearly any setting.

It’s adaptable to different rooms, too. While a side table is a practical choice to set next to a couch, it can just as easily function as an extra surface in a home office or even a nightstand in a bedroom. You could also use this to fill up empty space, breathing new life into a bare corner or adding a visual point of interest to an otherwise sparse room.

The table measures 27.5 inches tall by 24 inches wide, and each tier provides enough room for several items. A 12.5-inch tabletop gives you space to set up a framed photograph, potted plant, or lamp, while two 10.6-inch layers can accommodate books or decorative accents. A roomy 24-inch base rounds out the design. Altogether, it offers a 100-pound capacity.

More than 300 Walmart shoppers have given the table a five-star rating, with many people noting its sturdiness and easy assembly as highlights. It’s “sturdy,” according to one reviewer, who said that it “adds a modern touch” to their home. Another person praised the size, stating that it’s “perfect for smaller spaces.”

I Tried 10 Items From Great Wolf Lodge’s Halloween Menu—These Were My Favorites

Mon, 10/12/2026 - 5:22am

Ask my two daughters, ages 9 and 6, to name their favorite place in the world, and you’ll get the same answer every time: Great Wolf Lodge.

We’ve been visiting the indoor water park since my oldest was just a year old, so when Great Wolf Lodge invited us to experience its Howl-O-Ween festivities—free trick-or-treating, Halloween bingo, a special spooky menu and more—we jumped at the chance.

We spent the weekend mixing Halloween activities with trips down our favorite waterslides, and by the time we left, we were already talking about making it an annual family tradition. After so many rainy weekends here in the Northeast, an indoor getaway had another big perk: Our Halloween fun could go on, whatever the forecast.

Here’s what families should know about Howl-O-Ween at Great Wolf Lodge, plus our favorite treats from the Halloween menu.

What Is Howl-O-Ween at Great Wolf Lodge?

Howl-O-Ween is Great Wolf Lodge’s family-friendly Halloween celebration, which offers seasonal activities, festive décor and themed food and drinks to its indoor water park getaway. Basically, it makes Great Wolf Lodge that much better by just bringing in the Halloween fun everywhere you look! This year’s celebration started September 24 and runs through October 31 at all U.S. locations.

Families can dress up for trick-or-treating, join the Monster Bash Dance Party (free for overnight guests!) and enjoy activities such as FREE Boo Bingo, Halloween trivia and crafts. Halloween food and drinks—and the optional Ghostly Globes experience at select locations—cost extra, but the trick-or-treating is free for overnight guests.

My Favorite Foods and Drinks From Great Wolf Lodge’s Halloween Menu Howlin’ Wagyu Burger

My family loved this specialty burger (Wagyu beef, pork belly, cheddar and zesty aioli) so much that everyone had to have a bite! It’s juicy, comes served with sweet potato fries and was a hit with our whole crew. Yum!

Mac Attack Double Burger

Two burger patties, two layers of mac and cheese, two slices of tomato, extra bacon and two slices of cheese—yes, please. This burger was a hit with my whole family. We practically fought over who got the next bite.

Fall Funnel Cake

Funnel cake is always a family favorite, but it can be so messy! These funnel cake fries were the perfect size for dipping, without the mess. They made a great snack between trips to the wave pool.

Pumpkin Pie Caramel Swirl Shake

Yum! This pumpkin pie and caramel shake was such a fun fall treat. My 9 year old said this was her favorite drink of the weekend!

Salted Pretzel Crunch Chiller

The pretzel crunch made this one my favorite. I loved the contrast of the crunchy pretzels with the creamy chiller—a sweet-and-salty treat I’d order again.

Halloween Trifle

Three layers, pudding and gummy worms… what a fun Halloween treat! The gummy worms on top gave this dessert the perfect spooky touch.

Bug Guts Mocktail

This mocktail came in a glass that lit up, which added to the Halloween fun! My kids said it was super sweet and loved the gummy worms. It was my 6-year-old’s top choice.

Oreo Cookie Cup

With all the spooky treats we tried at Great Wolf Lodge, the Oreo Cookie Cup was an easy one to love — the Oreo topping and little pieces layered through it were the cherry on top. If you’re a cookies-and-cream fan, add this one to your list!

Mali-Boo! Beach Goblin Cocktail

I loved this one. It came in a light-up cup and was a fun cocktail for me to enjoy by the pool. I felt like I was really on vacation with my kids completely entertained!

Spiked Orange Phantom Cocktail

My husband voted this as his favorite drink of the weekend. The Spiked Orange Phantom was another fun addition to our Halloween taste test.

Halloween Activities Included With Your Stay at Great Wolf Lodge The Trick-or-Treat Trail

Running from 5–7 p.m. for overnight guests, the Trick-or-Treat Trail is a super cute way to dress up and collect fun treats at different stops around the lodge. Kids also get a book to complete, with a sticker at each stop. I especially loved all the photo spots—perfect for capturing family fall memories!

Halloween Bingo

By 3 p.m., my kids were pretty tired from the water rides and ready to dry off and head back to our room before dinner. But as we walked into the main lobby, energetic party hosts were getting everyone ready for Halloween BINGO, and we couldn’t resist joining in! I loved how organized and interactive the game was, with easy-to-use boards for the kids and multiple winners. It turned an ordinary break into one of those little family memories I’ll treasure.

The Monster Bash Dance Party

After a full day of swimming, water rides, Halloween BINGO, dinner and trick-or-treating, you’d think we’d be done—but nope! The Monster Bash Dance Party was the perfect way to end the night. Kids came in costume and danced to spooky music, keeping the Halloween fun going. With so much packed into one day, I felt like I was on a weeklong cruise.

Inside Great Wolf Lodge’s Ghostly Globes Experience What’s Included in a Ghostly Globe Reservation?

The Ghostly Globes offer a private, Halloween-themed space for up to six guests for a 60-minute reservation. Inside, families can enjoy Halloween décor, a dancing light show set to Halloween music, games and activities, apple cider and a build-your-own graveyard dessert. Additional food and drinks are available for an extra charge.

The experience is offered at four Great Wolf Lodge locations: Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania; Perryville, Maryland; LaGrange, Georgia; and Grapevine, Texas.

How Much Do Ghostly Globes Cost?

Ghostly Globes require a separate paid reservation. According to a Great Wolf Lodge representative, prices vary by location:

Pocono Mountains, Pennsylvania: $148
Perryville, Maryland: $125
LaGrange, Georgia: $95 Monday through Thursday; $135 Friday through Sunday
Grapevine, Texas: Contact the lodge for current pricing.

At the Poconos’ quoted rate, the reservation works out to $37 per person for a family of four, or about $24.67 per person with all six seats filled, before any additional charges.

Would I Book a Ghostly Globe Again?

My family stayed entertained the whole time, playing tic-tac-toe, taking photos and roasting marshmallows. It was a cozy way to warm up and enjoy some time with just our family. If it fits your budget, I definitely recommend it!

What Families Should Know Before Booking a Howl-O-Ween Getaway

Howl-O-Ween runs through October 31 at all Great Wolf lodges in the U.S., however the Ghostly Globes are limited to the four locations listed above, with dates and reservations dependent on the lodge.

At the Poconos lodge, the Trick-or-Treat Trail is included for overnight guests and operates on weekdays and weekends. The Halloween dance party takes place every evening at all Great Wolf Lodges during the Howl-O-Ween time period!

Before planning your evening, check the Great Wolf Lodge app for your location’s activity schedule. Although the Trick-or-Treat Trail typically runs from 5 to 7 p.m., timing and availability can vary. And don’t forget to pack your costumes if your family wants to dress up for trick-or-treating and the dance party! Between the menu and the entertainment, my family is already excited to return next year.

Social Security COLA Announcement Is Oct. 14, and a New Forecast Predicts a 3.5% Increase

Mon, 10/12/2026 - 5:10am

Social Security recipients will soon learn how much their monthly benefits could increase in 2027, with the Social Security Administration scheduled to announce its annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) on October 14.

Ahead of the announcement, The Senior Citizens League, a nonpartisan advocacy organization focused on protecting Social Security and Medicare benefits, is forecasting a 3.5% increase for next year. If that projection holds, millions of retirees and other Social Security beneficiaries could see a boost to their monthly payments beginning in January.

The estimate is not official, however, and the final COLA will depend on inflation data used by the Social Security Administration to calculate the adjustment.

How Much Could Social Security Benefits Increase?

If the 3.5% projection holds, the average monthly Social Security benefit of $1,940.08 cited by The Senior Citizens League would increase by approximately $67.90, bringing the monthly payment to about $2,007.98.

For someone currently receiving $2,000 per month, a 3.5% COLA would mean an additional $70 monthly, or $840 over the course of a year, before any changes to deductions.

The projected increase would be larger than the 2.8% COLA beneficiaries received in 2026 and the 2.5% adjustment in 2025. However, even a higher adjustment does not necessarily mean recipients will feel more financially comfortable as the cost of everyday expenses continues to affect household budgets.

How Is the Social Security COLA Calculated?

The Social Security Administration calculates the annual COLA using inflation data from the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, known as CPI-W.

The adjustment is based on the percentage change in the average CPI-W for July, August, and September compared with the same three-month period in the previous year. The September inflation data is scheduled for release on Oct. 14, when the official 2027 COLA is expected to be announced.

The Senior Citizens League released its 3.5% projection on September 11, noting that the estimate was 0.1 percentage point lower than its previous forecast. The organization also cautioned that inflation could still shift before the final figure is determined.

Once announced, the 2027 COLA will take effect in January 2027. Until then, Social Security recipients will have to wait for the official figure to learn how much their monthly benefits will change.

Should You Actually Ignore a Tantrum? Big Little Feelings Settles the Debate

Mon, 10/12/2026 - 5:06am

If you’re the parent of a young child, you’re probably familiar with the everyday behaviors that come with the territory: whining, stalling and asking “Why?” about approximately everything. But when a full-blown meltdown hits, even seasoned parents can find themselves at a loss for what to do next.

Some parents choose to ignore tantrums, believing that giving the behavior attention can sometimes make it worse. But it’s a parenting strategy that tends to spark strong opinions, with moms and dads divided over whether ignoring a child in the middle of a meltdown is actually helpful—or potentially harmful.

With 3.5 million followers on Instagram, Big Little Feelings founders Deena Margolin and Kristin Gallant are used to getting asked to weigh in on plenty of controversial topics related to toddlers and big kids. The therapist and parent coach duo have been sharing relatable and much-needed insight with their community since March 2020, expanding their content to Substack and their podcast as well.

Here, Margolin and Gallant officially settle the debate on whether or not you should ignore a tantrum. Plus, they tell Parade if their advice changes at all depending on if the meltdown is at home vs. in public.

What To Remember About Tantrums: They’re Healthy

“Oh my gosh, tantrums can be so hard, first of all, because they are loud and chaotic,” Margolin tells Parade. “They are just big and everything in you wants to be like, ‘Just stop, OK? Stop right now. Stop crying, stop yelling.’ Here’s the deal though: Tantrums are healthy. They have so much to do with brain development. And this is actually your kid building independence for the first time being like, ‘Wow, I’m separate from my mommy or daddy, I’m separate from my parent. I’m my own self. I have things I want, I have things that I want to say and do and feel,’ and it kind of spills over.”

“When it comes to tantrums, though, we are the calm, confident adults,” she adds.

As that calm presence, we need to respond to tantrums in a different way than just reacting to the noise.

Instead of Ignoring a Tantrum, ‘Treat Them the Way That You Would Want To Be Treated’

Our impulse might be to yell about the behavior or ignore our child until they “calm themselves down,” but Big Little Feelings offers another approach.

“We always think of it as you are the CEO of your household,” Margolin explains. “To have a good relationship with your employees, you need to be able to hear them, understand them, take it into consideration and make them feel part of the team here.”

That doesn’t mean we enable certain behaviors, however.

“At the same time, the adult is running the show, right?” she continues. “We make the big decisions—we’re making sure everybody is safe, and that’s where it works best. So when it comes to tantrums, we get to hold a boundary, [and] your kid is allowed to be upset about it. They are allowed to tantrum—letting those feelings out is healthy.”

This is where understanding and empathy come in.

“Imagine you have a partner,” Margolin says. “You’re upset. You walk in, you’re having a tough time, and they basically respond to you like, ‘What’s so wrong? It’s not a big deal, just get over it…move on. That’s life.’ You’d feel so much worse than if someone was like, ‘Hey, that’s really hard. I hear you and I’m right here with you. If you want to share more, I’ll listen.’ Right? It feels so different. And [it’s the] same for our kids.”

“That part always blows my mind,” Gallant adds. “And I get it, because of the way I was raised—how we were all raised—my instinct is also to be like, ‘Stop. Just stop.’ But when you zoom out, it does just feel really insane to me that if Deena, my best friend, came to me and she was crying and she had a hard day, and I think it’s kind of ridiculous, right? She’s like, ‘My gas tank was empty. And then this happened!’ And in my head I’m like, ‘Well, you let your gas tank be empty,’ you know? But if she were just having a horrible day and crying, for me to say to her, like, ‘Stop crying, you’re being dramatic,’ or even being like, ‘I can’t even look at you. Go in your room, and do not come back out until you’re happy.’ It’s sort of absurd.”

Tantrums can often be triggered by things that adults don’t take very seriously, like opening a new bottle of bubble bath or saying no to trying a hot pepper. But they’re serious for the kids experiencing them.

“Children are human beings,” Gallant tells Parade. “So when a child is having a hard time, I like to tell people to treat them the way that you would want to be treated when you have a hard time. Just because it’s over a crayon that is too purpley?…I cannot tell you the most ridiculous thing that I cried about in my luteal phase last month, OK? lt was probably ridiculous. And what I needed from my husband was to be like, ‘I hear you, I see you, you’re having such a hard time,’ and then move on. But if he were to say to me, ‘You’re being crazy, that’s not a big deal,’ I’m going to level up and I’m going to explode.”

“So just treat them the way that, you know, human beings want to be treated when they’re upset,” she reiterates.

How the Approach Might Change if It’s a Public Meltdown

What about when the tantrum is happening in a very public place? Is a different approach needed to de-escalate in a setting like that?

“Oh, a public meltdown makes me sweat,” Margolin tells Parade. “I’ll be honest, I already have a hard time being perceived in general, and then that’s happening and it’s like ‘all eyes on me.’ One thing that I try to do, if I have the kind of structure in that moment to do it, is step aside with my kid to bring them to a more private space where fewer people are looking at us, we’re not bothering people, you know—that’s if I have another grown up with me, or it depends on how many kids are with me since I have three. But if I can do that, that’s my step one, so that we can go to a place where I can say, ‘Hey, you’re really upset, just let it out with me. I’m right here with you.'”

Gallant agrees, adding, “It’s less of the ‘what we were raised with,’ which is like, ‘If you don’t stop crying right now, we’re leaving and we’re not coming back,’ because they’re not trying to cry. They don’t want to be crying any more than you want them to be crying, right? You’re just saying it differently where it’s like, ‘Hey, this is getting really loud. People are eating their dinner…If we need to, we will step outside and you can totally let it out there.'”

But that doesn’t mean your child will automatically adopt your calm demeanor and it’ll be smooth sailing the rest of the meal.

“Now, it’s not like they’re going to be like, ‘OK, Mommy,’ and be quiet and leave,” Gallant continues. “No, this often means you’re holding a boundary and it sucks. You’re picking them up and they’re going, ‘No, no, no, no, no, no!'”

She explains the script she would use in this moment of picking them up and taking them outside of the restaurant: “This is where you can let your feelings out. There’s nothing wrong with letting your feelings out, it’s just that inside is where people are eating—I can’t scream in there, you can’t scream in there, the other people can’t scream in there, so out here it’s safe to scream. And then when you’re ready, we’ll go back inside.”

That way, Gallant says, “It’s not a punishment as much as it’s just logical.”

Final Takeaways

All of this information is easier to read through than it is to implement—especially when you’re overstimulated. But it can be helpful to remember that your kids aren’t being “bad,” this is normal and healthy behavior for their age.

“I think it’s remembering [the] big picture: Your kid is little, their brain is still developing,” Margolin says. “This is appropriate. Kids being kids is healthy. And it’s not always going to be this way. As they develop, they’re going to build more skills as their brain develops and it’s going to change over time. This is a chapter that you’re in right now though (and I’m in it right now!).”

All we can do is take it day by day, do our best and remember to give our kids—and ourselves—plenty of grace.

Sister Wives' Star Just Said Out Loud What She’s Only Said in Solo Interviews for Years

Mon, 10/12/2026 - 5:05am

For 21 seasons, Sister Wives fans have watched the Brown family’s drama unfold in two entirely separate realms: what the women say within the group, and what they reserve strictly for the safety of their solo couch confessionals.

But during the season’s latest episode, that longstanding boundary completely dissolved. After years of confining her most candid thoughts to quiet interview segments, Christine Brown Woolley finally asked Meri and Janelle Brown a question that viewers have been shouting at their screens for years.

In a clip posted to TLC’s Instagram page, the women met for the first time in years to look through old photographs and videos. It was a lovely trip down memory lane for Kody Brown‘s exes and fans, who have followed the family for years.

As they recalled happy family memories, sharing moments that united them and their shared children, Christine said out loud what she’s only said in solo interviews.

She asked Janelle and Meri, “What do you guys think would have happened if, when Robyn [Brown] came into the family, [Kody] had realized she was the love of his life and he just wanted to stay with her? And he approached us honestly and said, ‘Hey, we should be having this conversation.'”

Janelle responded, “I don’t think he was ready to admit it to himself.” Meri added, “I don’t think he realized. I think it took him a minute to realize it.”

Janelle concluded, “I am really glad it worked out the way it has. I think our children are amazing and that’s what I’m going to hang my hat on, we have these amazing children.”

In a separate confessional, she added, “I have no regrets about the life I’ve lived. I don’t want to go back and do it again. But I’m really happy about the family we’ve built, so it was worth it.”

Fans were thrilled that Meri, Christine, and Janelle finally had this conversation after years of dancing around the topic separately. They shared their remarks in the post’s comments.

One fan wrote, “Being a viewer from the first season, Christine is asking the questions we all saw 16 yrs ago. It’s actually sad to see it happening exactly the way we all expected. I don’t think [Kody] realized it either in the beginning, but these ladies did, and sadly they waited for him to choose them again, and he never did. But it is great to see them finally choosing themselves.”

“He had no interest in any of the other wives or any of the children after he met Robin. He was head over heels in love. All the work with 3 other wives and all those kids, going from house to house was over for Kody. He only wanted to be with Robyn,” claimed a second viewer.

A third fan shared their thoughts, writing, “I suspect that Kody realized immediately that he was in love with Robyn and only grew to love the others. But he didn’t want to, at that time, or know how to make such a drastic, overhauling change. So, he did what was convenient to him. And he needed the other wives for the show/to make money/to spend on Robyn.”

Sister Wives airs Sundays at 10 p.m. ET on TLC.

Arby's Breaks From Tradition With 3 New Cheesesteaks

Mon, 10/12/2026 - 5:01am

Arby’s is once again changing everything you think you know about a cheesesteak.

A few months ago, we reported that the popular fast-food chain would be bringing back its version of the iconic sandwich, which typically features thin-sliced beef and melted American cheese on a roll. Arby’s recipe, however, features thin-sliced Angus beef, White American Cooper Cheese and thick-cut caramelized onions on a toasted sesame seed roll. The creation went viral when it launched last year, so Arby’s revived it this past June with a “new and improved recipe.” And now, it looks like that success inspired this latest menu update: three new cheesesteaks, all made with chicken. We know that sounds counterintuitive, but “steak” refers to a cut, not a type of meat. It’s mostly associated with beef, but tuna steak and ham steak exist too.

As far as Arby’s new sandwiches go, they all feature the same poultry base, but that’s about where the similarities end. In an effort to appeal to all tastemakers, the fresh lineup includes a “classic” Chicken Cheesesteak, a spicy version and a Deluxe option that’s stacked with fresh veggies.

Arby’s Just Dropped 3 New Cheesesteaks—And They’re All Made With Chicken

Like the more traditional sandwich, this chicken version is said to be loaded with flavor. Arby’s isn’t using boiled or bland meat; it marinates its chicken in a blend of spices that includes garlic, onion and paprika. The chicken is then seared, sliced, and cooked sous-vide to create the “juiciest Chicken Cheesesteak,” according to an official statement shared with Parade.

Chicken Cheesesteak: juicy seasoned chicken, melty American Cooper Cheese and caramelized onions on a toasted sesame roll.
Chicken Deluxe Cheesesteak: adds crisp shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes to the Chicken Cheesesteak for a “fresh, flavorful twist.”
Spicy Chicken Cheesesteak: enhances the Chicken Cheesesteak with a spicy glaze for guests interested in “a bit more heat.”

Arby's

While there are certainly some consistencies between Arby’s Chicken Cheesesteaks and its Angus one (namely, the caramelized onions and American Cooper Cheese), unlike the beef sandwich, this trio is only available for a limited time at Arby’s locations nationwide beginning today, Oct. 12 (prices may vary).

What Happened to John Denver? Inside the Singer’s Tragic Death at 53

Mon, 10/12/2026 - 4:38am

John Denver spent much of his career singing about the beauty of the natural world, from the mountains of Colorado to the winding roads that lead people home, but the beloved singer-songwriter’s life came to a tragic end in 1997 when the experimental plane he was piloting crashed into the Pacific Ocean.

Denver was 53 when he died on October 12, 1997. Nearly three decades later, his music remains a fixture on radio stations and playlists, with songs such as “Take Me Home, Country Roads,” “Annie’s Song,” and “Rocky Mountain High” continuing to introduce new generations to his work.

His death shocked fans around the world and prompted an investigation into what happened during his final flight.

How Did John Denver Die?

Denver died when the Rutan Long-EZ experimental aircraft he was piloting crashed into Monterey Bay near Pacific Grove, California. He was the only person aboard the plane.

According to the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), Denver had been flying near Monterey Peninsula Airport and practicing touch-and-go landings before taking the aircraft out over the bay.

The plane crashed into the water that evening, killing Denver. He was 53 years old.

The NTSB investigated the crash and determined that the probable cause was Denver’s loss of control of the aircraft while attempting to manipulate its fuel selector.

The fuel selector was positioned behind the pilot’s left shoulder, requiring Denver to turn around to reach it. Investigators concluded that the awkward placement likely made it difficult for him to maintain control of the plane while attempting to switch fuel tanks.

The aircraft’s design also placed the fuel gauges behind the pilot’s seat, making them difficult to see during flight. Denver had purchased the experimental aircraft relatively recently, and investigators noted that his familiarity with its configuration was a factor in understanding the circumstances of the accident.

“The Board determined that the builder’s decision to locate the unmarked fuel selector handle in a hard-to-access position, unmarked fuel quantity sight gauges, inadequate transition training by the pilot, and his lack of total experience in this type of airplane were factors in the accident,” the final report stated.

The investigation did not identify alcohol or drugs as contributing factors.

What Is John Denver Remembered For Today?

Denver remains best known for his songwriting and distinctive folk-country sound. “Take Me Home, Country Roads” has become an enduring singalong, while “Rocky Mountain High” was designated one of Colorado’s official state songs in 2007.

Beyond his recordings, Denver supported environmental initiatives and founded the environmental organization Plant-It 2020, which focused on planting trees around the world.

His career also included television appearances, concert performances and humanitarian work, reflecting interests that extended beyond music.

Although Denver’s life ended suddenly at 53, his songs have continued to resonate with listeners who find comfort in their themes of home, love and the natural world. Nearly 30 years after his death, his music remains a lasting part of American popular culture.

‘Mary Tyler Moore Show’ Alum, 88, Opens Up About Losing ‘Brady Bunch’ Starring Role

Mon, 10/12/2026 - 4:33am

It’s hard to imagine anyone other than Florence Henderson as Carol Brady on The Brady Bunch, but it almost happened. When the classic ABC sitcom was first cast in 1969, actress Joyce Bulifant was given the role of the Brady matriarch. But soon after the offer was taken from her, even though she’d signed a lengthy contract.

More than 55 years later, Bulifant, 88, opened up about the disappointing moment in her career and revealed how she handled the situation with grace and gratitude.

Speaking with Katchy Klassics with Kathy & Larry, Bulifant told podcast hosts Kathy Garver and Larry Dasilva that she had been far into the casting process and had already chosen her wardrobe for The Brady Bunch pilot episode, “The Honeymoon,” when she got the bad news.

“It was a little difficult with The Brady Bunch because I was wardrobe, costume, the little girls were all chosen to look like me,” she shared in the October 2026 interview. “And that was so last-minute. I mean, we were—I was showing the wardrobe to the producer and director, and they just had this look on their face. And I said, ‘What’s wrong? Something is wrong.’ And they said, ‘Yeah, New York wants Florence Henderson all of a sudden. She’s available.’ And that was it.”

Bulifant recalled producer Sherwood Schwartz “really fighting” for her.

“He said, ‘We wrote this to be like The Lucy Show, and if Florence does it, it’ll be like The Donna Reed Show,’” Bulifant recalled. “So they had to change the housekeeper and everything to make her the funny one. Before, the housekeeper was the straight one, and I was the crazy, funny one.”

Bulifant continued, “And in the wardrobe, I had the wedding dress where [the Bradys] were in the garden, and I had the going-away suit after the wedding. And I thought it was—and I signed a seven-year contract. And they gave me a gift, though, when I left: the going-away suit.”

Bulifant noted that she had the same agent as Henderson when her contract was broken.

“But I have to tell you, Sherwood came over to the house. He said, ‘Well, no, we’re fighting for you,’” she remembered. “And he came to the house. He didn’t call. He came to the house to tell me that New York wanted Florence, and they had final say.”

The actress, who went on to play Marie Slaughter on The Mary Tyler Moore Show in 1971, told the podcast hosts that she felt “awfully lucky” for her long career.

“I got a lot of things,” Bulifant shared. “And, you know, it wasn’t like a live-or-die situation as an actress. I felt family was the most important, and I always felt if I didn’t get something, I wasn’t supposed to get it…. I just thought it was disappointing, but I didn’t, you know, I just—I’m so grateful for so many things. … I had two children, and I had a little house, and I knew something else would come along.”

While The Brady Bunch casting switch worked out, Bulifant once revealed that showrunner Schwartz was upset that he had to flip around the mom and housekeeper roles. (Funny lady Ann B. Davis was ultimately cast as housekeeper Alice Nelson after producers initially considered Kathleen Freeman for the role.)

“Sherwood was devastated because the show had a whole new meaning than what he was looking for,” Bulifant told Fox News in 2018. “He said, ‘Any show I do from now on, you’re going to be in it!’ He put me in his next series, but it was a short-lived Saturday morning show.”
