Lindsay Clancy Trial Update: Why She's Unlikely to Be Found Guilty, According to a Legal Expert

Tue, 08/25/2026 - 11:46am

The Lindsay Clancy trial is nearing its conclusion, but a legal expert believes prosecutors could face an uphill battle when it comes to securing a guilty verdict.

Clancy’s defense and the prosecution have now presented their cases, and the trial has reached the rebuttal stage. As jurors prepare to weigh the evidence and arguments presented in court, the question of Clancy’s mental state remains central to the case.

Will Lindsay Clancy Be Found Guilty?

Neama Rahmani, a legal analyst and former federal prosecutor, is weighing in on what could happen when the jury begins deliberating—and he believes there is a significant possibility that Clancy could be acquitted.

“I don’t think there is any real possibility that the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is going to be able to get a guilty verdict in this case,” Rahmani told People. “In Massachusetts, the burden is on the prosecution to prove criminal responsibility beyond a reasonable doubt. In Massachusetts, the prosecution has to prove that Lindsay Clancy is not insane. So, if there is any reasonable doubt that Lindsey Clancy is insane, the jurors have to acquit.”

Will Lindsay Clancy Walk Free if She’s Acquitted?

The simple answer to this question is no.

Legal expert Margaret McLean, host of The Margaret McLean Show, previously told Parade that Clancy would likely be institutionalized.

““Massachusetts law does not simply allow her to walk free,” McLean said.

“Her case would be shifted to a structured civil commitment process overseen by both the court and numerous mental health experts,” McLean continued. “Unlike a prison sentence, a ‘not guilty by reason of insanity’ commitment has no maximum end date. If Clancy’s severe mental illness is deemed chronic and dangerous, she can legally remain institutionalized for the rest of her life.”

Did Lindsay Clancy Admit to Killing Her Kids?

Clancy, a former labor and delivery nurse at Massachusetts General Hospital, is facing three counts of first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of her children, Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months.

Clancy’s defense has confirmed that she admitted to killing her three children using exercise bands in the basement of the family’s Duxbury, Massachusetts, home. However, she has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity, with her defense arguing that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was taking several different medications that have serious side effects.

On the night that Cora, Dawson and Callan were murdered, Clancy sent her then-husband, Patrick Clancy, to CVS and to pick up dinner at a restaurant nearby. While he was gone, the prosecution alleges that she strangled each of her children before slashing her wrists and her throat, and jumping out a second story window of her home in an apparent suicide attempt. The incident left Lindsay paralyzed from the waist down.

The case, then, isn’t simply about whether Clancy is found guilty or not guilty. If the jury accepts her insanity defense, another legal process would begin, one that could keep her under psychiatric supervision long after the trial itself is over.

1965 Pop Song, Written By Paul McCartney, Became a No. 1 Hit That Revived a Singer's Career

Tue, 08/25/2026 - 11:45am

In the mid-60’s, Paul McCartney was having a frustrating long-distance relationship that led him to write “You Won’t See Me,” which became a No. 1 hit on the charts for another artist years later.

McCartney was 20-years-old when he began dating actor Jane Asher, who was 17, in 1963. She was already a well-known star who was sent by Radio Times to cover the Beatles’ appearance at a BBC concert called Swinging Sound ’63. It was reported that McCartney had immediately noticed her and soon started a relationship.

A few years later, the Beatles worked on their 1965 album, Rubber Soul, with McCartney penning “You Won’t See Me” about his relationship. It was said that Asher wanted to continue pursuing her career on screen and on stage and was offered to appear in a production at the Bristol Old Vic theatre. Both their careers put a strain on the relationship, with McCartney wanting Asher to focus more on his life and stay home.

McCartney penned the track as a result of his inability to contact her and the demand in both their career. They would ultimately break up in 1968.

The band had an all-night session during the final day of working on the album, and were on a time crunch as they still needed three more tracks. “You Won’t See Me” ended up being recorded in two takes, with McCartney reporting it was a “very Motown-flavoured” sound with a “James Jamerson feel.”

“This was written around two little notes,” he explained for Paul McCartney: Many Years From Now, “a very slim phrase, a two-note progression that I had very high on the first two strings of the guitar: the E and the B strings. I had it high up on the high E position, and I just let the note on the B string descend a semitone at a time, and kept the top note the same, and against that I was playing a descending chromatic scale.”

“To me it was very Motown-flavoured,” he continued. “It’s got a James Jamerson feel. He was the Motown bass player, he was fabulous, the guy who did all those great melodic bass lines. It was him, me and Brian Wilson who were doing melodic bass lines at that time, all from completely different angles, L.A., Detroit and London, all picking up on what each other did.”

The Beatles’ version of the song failed to enter the charts as it was never released as a standalone single. In 1974, it resurged in popularity when country/pop singer Anne Murray released her own cover. Her version of “You Won’t See Me” is the only one to ever enter the charts and landed at No. 1 on the Billboard Easy Listening chart and No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The cover wasn’t only a chart-topper, but was also tagged as having revived Murray’s career. She hadn’t had a hit in four years at the time, after tracks like “Danny’s Song” and “He Things I Still Care,” and found the Beatles song in a box of cassette tapes marked “Listen to Again.”

“Four years is quite a long time between hit songs,” says Murray, according to A Journal of Musical Things. “At least it was in those days. As an artist, you do start to get a bit uneasy, but I had also just become a mother for the first time, so I had other things on my mind. Sometimes that works well because you’re not as nervous or scared and scrambling. ‘You Needed Me’ just seemed to come into my life at the right moment, and everything else aligned.”

The Pioneer Woman’s ‘Adorable’ $19 Scalloped Woven Jute Rug Brings Cozy Farmhouse Charm to Your Kitchen

Tue, 08/25/2026 - 11:30am

Parade aims to feature only the best products and services. If you buy something via one of our links, we may earn a commission.

A great kitchen isn’t just about what’s sitting on the counters — it’s about the little details that make the space feel warm, inviting, and comfortable to use. Just like a well-placed runner can transform a hallway or a textured rug can anchor a living room, the right kitchen mat can add softness, define open spaces, and make everyday routines a little more enjoyable. Because when you’re spending time standing at the sink washing dishes, prepping meals, or waiting for dinner to simmer, your feet deserve comfort.

Walmart is making it easy to add that finishing touch with The Pioneer Woman 100% Jute Scallop Kitchen Rug, priced at just $19. With its natural woven texture, charming scalloped border, and farmhouse-inspired look, this rug can bring style and function to one of the busiest areas of the home.

Hand-braided from 100% jute, this rectangular kitchen rug highlights the warm honey and wheat variations that make the natural material so appealing, while a soft pink border adds an unexpected pop of color. The border extends into oversized scalloped edges, creating a gentle, wavy silhouette that softens the woven jute’s structured look. The scalloped trim taps into one of today’s biggest home decor trends, giving the rug a playful, cottage-inspired finish that feels right at home in vintage farmhouse, grandmillennial, and coastal-inspired spaces. Double squares of coordinating braided trim frame the center panel for a final touch. 

Measuring 20 by 34 inches with a non-slip backing, the rug is sized perfectly for high-traffic kitchen spots like in front of the sink, stove, prep island, or coffee station — anywhere you spend extra time standing while cooking, cleaning, or getting meals ready. The tightly woven construction creates a dense, durable surface designed to handle everyday foot traffic while adding warmth and texture to hard flooring like tile, hardwood, or laminate.

The neutral jute base pairs perfectly with wood cabinetry, rattan storage, and butcher block countertops, while the muted pink border coordinates with floral linens, vintage-inspired ceramics, or other pieces from The Pioneer Woman collection. For a layered look, place it in front of or on top of a larger kitchen runner or near a cushioned mat, mixing prints and colors. 

While it’s designed with the kitchen in mind, this rug’s compact size also makes it a charming addition to other high-traffic areas like a laundry room, mudroom, entryway, or vanity. Because of its natural texture, spot cleaning is recommended to help preserve both the braided construction and color over time.

This “absolutely adorable” and “cozy” rug “brightens up” any space, according to Walmart shoppers. “It’s the perfect size and the pink detailing adds just enough color without it being too loud,” one reviewer wrote.

Sam Waterson Returns to TV in a New Role Following His Departure From 'Law & Order' 

Tue, 08/25/2026 - 11:09am

Sam Waterson may have hung up his briefcase as District Attorney Jack McCoy in Law & Order, but he’s ready to return to NBC in a new role for an upcoming September series.

The Law & Order alum, 85, will star in a guest role in the network’s drama series, Line of Fire. Executive produced by Jenna Bush Hager, Deadline confirmed the actor will appear alongside Campbell Scott and Chris Chall. Waterson’s new role comes two years after the actor exited his longstanding role in Law & Order, after more than 400 episodes.

Deadline reports that Waterson will appear as former President Thomas Barnes, who has a close relationship with Line of Fire’s main character, Secret Service agent Mike Hollingsworth (Peter Krause). Details reveal that Mike and his family of law enforcement officers are on a mission to track down an assassin.

Line of Fire follows the family led by Mike and Jane Hollingsworth (Hope Davis) as they “bridge personal differences and cross professional boundaries” to tackle a series of tough cases for “the FBI, US Marshals, Secret Service, and Department of Justice.”

“After a seemingly cut-and-dry case turns into a deadly conspiracy, they must use the expertise from a lifetime of protecting civilians and politicians to protect one another and bring the killer to justice … even if it means betraying their sworn code,” reads the official logline.

Every case hits home. #LineOfFire premieres September 21 on NBC and next day on Peacock. pic.twitter.com/QsnkY6HsiP

— NBC Entertainment (@nbc) August 20, 2026

Alongside Waterson, Chalk will play the role of current President Kayana, with Scott playing the role of Terry, a U.S. senator and boyfriend to Davis’ Jane. Line of Fire also stars Kat Cunning, Tommy O’Brien, and Taylor Bloom.

The drama series will be a return to TV for the Law & Order alum who joined the beloved NBC show in 1994. The network announced in 2024 that the actor would be stepping away from his role as Jack McCoy after 30 years. He once commented that he still sometimes tunes into the series, but life since leaving has been “beautiful.”

Since starring in Law & Order, Waterson appeared as his character in various spinoff series connected to the franchise. He also had roles in series like The Newsroom as Charlie Skinner, Grace and Frankie for Netflix, and Godless. The Dropout was his last credited TV role before leaving Law & Order.

Line of Fire is scheduled to premiere on NBC on Sept. 21, 2026, at 10/9c.

1973 Epic Barbra Streisand Masterpiece That Took 33 Takes to Finish, Remains One of The Best Film Songs Ever

Tue, 08/25/2026 - 10:47am

When Barbra Streisand entered the studio to record the theme for her 1973 romance drama co-starring Robert Redford, The Way We Were, no one expected the session to turn into a test of endurance for both the singer and session players.

Composer Marvin Hamlisch had crafted a soaring song with unforgettable words by Alan and Marilyn Bergman. However, capturing the film’s emotional weight dictated that Streisand sound a certain way.

According to The Barbra Archives, Streisand and the studio musicians recorded 33 separate takes of “The Way We Were.” Carol Kaye, who famously played bass with The Wrecking Crew, performed on the recording.

She said, “We ran down the music for any mistakes and took a break waiting for Barbra; she was pretty late. The huge orchestra finally assembled from our break, and we did 33 straight takes of ‘The Way We Were’ with Barbra singing every one, with Marvin Hamlisch conducting, and the songwriting team (Marilyn and Alan Bergman) in the booth.”

Kaye continued, “Take after take, we kept going, each take as intensive as the last one, until I looked at Paul Humphrey the drummer, like, ‘When is this going to end?’ After a few arpeggios, especially in the bridge, it felt like ‘the’ take. “

The musician concluded, “I looked up and caught Ms. Streisand’s fast gaze from her little sound booth as she was holding a long note (through the glass window) our eyes locked like, ‘Wheeeee. This is it,’ and finished the take. Paul looked at me, and we both smiled, having played on a lot of hits together. We knew this was the take, too.”

“The Way We Were” ranked as one of the Best Film Songs Ever by U Discover Music in 2026. It landed between 1973’s “Live and Let Die” by Paul McCartney and Wings for the film of the same name, and Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door by Bob Dylan for Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.

Songfacts reported that “The Way We Were” was originally written to begin with the lyric “Daydreams.” However, Streisand changed the wording to “Memories,” and altering it even further to two syllables, “Mem’ries.”

“The Way We Were” soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1974 where it remained for three weeks. Additionally, it won an Academy Award in the category of Best Original Song and remains Barbra Streisand’s signature track.

How's Bruce Willis Doing Today? Family Member Offers an Unexpected Health Update

Tue, 08/25/2026 - 10:37am

Bruce Willis is happy.

The actor, who was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia in early 2023, is doing okay, all things considered. In a candid interview with People magazine, Willis’ daughter Rumer Willis shared an unexpected update on her dad.

“What’s been interesting having a family member with dementia, it’s like, he’s happy. As well as someone could be doing, given the circumstances, he’s doing well,” she told the outlet. “When I get to see him, he sees me and [daughter] Louetta and he starts smiling. So, there’s so much love and joy and tenderness that still exists there. And in terms of that, I would say that’s a huge win.”

“And the fact that we still have him, you know?” the singer/actress added.

In 2025, Bruce’s wife, Emma Heming Willis, shared that the family made the difficult decision to move the Die Hard star into a home nearby where he receives the care that he needs in a “calm and serene atmosphere,” according to People.

“We have two young children, and it was just important that they had a home that supported their needs and that Bruce could have a place that supported his needs,” Heming Willis told the outlet. “The kids can have playdates and sleepovers [again] and not have to walk around tiptoeing.”

These days, the whole family is just grateful for the time they have with the beloved actor.

“The most important thing for me is that I’m so grateful that I have this time with him for however many years it may be,” Rumer told People. “I’m grateful that he seems generally wonderful and, given all of the givens of our situation, that our family is just so loving and together.”

Bruce may struggle with memory and language, but he’s still able to do a lot of things, too. Earlier this month, he attended his daughter Tallulah Willis’ wedding, for example.

There’s no shortage of love in the Willis family, that’s for sure.

Sacha Baron Cohen's Legendary Alter Ego Returns for a New 'Documentary'

Tue, 08/25/2026 - 10:35am

One could argue Sacha Baron Cohen finally achieved mainstream Hollywood success with the dawn of Borat in 2006. After all, it received an Oscar nomination the following year.

But before that “glorious” character and even Bruno, there was Ali G — as his loyal fanbase is well aware. Da Ali G Show was a cult-favorite phenomenon on the small screen, a British satirical sketch comedy series that launched at the dawn of the millennium.

Now, Ali G is back in peak Cohen fashion. Just like he shocked the entertainment world with a surprise Borat sequel earlier this decade, shot secretly during the COVID era, the 54-year-old comedian has brought back his infamous (fictitious) hip-hop journalist with an unexpected new “documentary” (as Ali G dubs it).

An official trailer dropped for Ali G: Who Iz I? on Tuesday, August 25. “Yo check out de trailer for me new movie, Ali G: Who Iz I? It got nuff sick tings, but u’ll have to watch de hole film to find out if me hactually died makin it. Only in dem cinemas October 23nd. #AliGWhoIzI,” reads the YouTube upload’s caption.

The caption continues, “After twenty years spent “chillin’, tokin’ and bonin’”, Ali G is shocked to discover that his long-term girlfriend, Julie, is 8 months pregnant. Faced with an extra mouth to feed, he gets off his batty and heads to America to reclaim his former glory… but soon encounters adversaries who will ultimately threaten his and his child’s very existence.”

Fans have since flooded the trailer’s comments section to express their excitement for the upcoming release. “Can’t wait, original is a classic!” wrote one YouTube user, while another person commented, “Happy to see the king the great …ALI G.”

News first leaked that Cohen would be making another Ali G project in July and he was spotted in character attending Wimbledon, per The Hollywood Reporter.

Ali G: Who Iz I? marks Cohen’s directorial debut and hits theaters October 23.

Howie Mandel Reveals He 'Almost Died' From Self-Medicating Incident During the Pandemic

Tue, 08/25/2026 - 10:33am

Howie Mandel is opening up about a harrowing incident in his life that nearly had fatal consequences.

During. arecent appearance on Hoda Kotb’s Joy 101 podcast, the 70-year-old Mandel discussed how his struggles with anxiety and obsessive-compulsive disorder led to a dangerous situation during the COVID-19 pandemic (via Entertainment Weekly).

“I’m medicated and I have a lot of therapy,” the TV host explained. “I have such a fear of those lows, because they’re incredibly painful and hard to navigate, so my life consists of trying to balance up here and manage the medication.”

“I’ve medicated myself, and I’m talking about prescription medication, I’m not self-medicating, though I did that during COVID and I almost died,” Mandel bluntly explained. “So, I’m medicated. I’m surrounded by professionals.”

In particular, Mandel said that his germaphobe lifestyle led to a severe spike in anxiety when it came to the pandemic, forcing him to turn to alternative means of medication, such as consuming gummies, drinking and smoking.

“I’m sober right now, but during the pandemic I couldn’t sleep because part of my rumination is — I make fun of it — but I’m a germaphobe, and a pandemic? I live like I’m in a pandemic anyhow. When there’s a real one, it was hard for me to handle,” Mandel said. “It was hard for a lot of people, but I wasn’t strong enough to handle it. I couldn’t sleep, so I started taking gummies to go to sleep.”

In the end, Mandel said that he had to stop self-medicating all together, owing to an especially alarming incident when his wife offered to take him to the hospital.

“There were times when my wife, she couldn’t wake me up or she thought she was going to take me to the hospital,” Mandel said. “There’s no middle ground with me. I don’t smoke or I haven’t had a beer, anything, I can’t do anything in moderation. It wasn’t healthy and it wasn’t good. It’s not an excuse, but it was really bad.”

Tue, 08/25/2026 - 10:30am

Ella Langley gave fans another reason to talk while she continues her successful Dandelion Tour.

A video shared by the Ella Langley HQ on Instagram shows the country star enjoying a backstage moment as she danced to the Bee Gees’ 1977 classic “Stayin’ Alive.” The clip was filmed during the tour stops in Green Bay, Springfield and Little Rock.

The fun video arrived as Langley reached another major career milestone. Her hit song “Choosin’ Texas” has now spent 19 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, tying it for the longest run at the top among non-holiday songs.

“Ella, because of this post, I know we’d be besties in real life. I always be jammin to this song!!!” one fan wrote.

Another commented, “19 weeks IS CHIC and YOU ARE STAYIN ALIVE GIRRRRRRL .”

A fan linked the dance directly to her Billboard success, writing, “Dancing into this 19th week at #1 liiiike ”

Other viewers also praised Langley’s walk and dance in the video. “No that’s a walkout! You are such a queen Ella! ,” one comment read.

Another fan said, “Ella is literally unmatched! Put her to any song and she absolutely owns it every single time. Just love her so much! ”

One more viewer summed up the feeling behind the Bee Gees classic: “That’s the only way to walk when this song comes on .”

Langley’s lighthearted backstage dance comes during a huge moment for the singer.

“Choosin’ Texas” has reached its 19th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. According to Billboard, the song is now tied with Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” and Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road” for the longest run at the top among non-holiday songs.

Only Mariah Carey’s holiday hit “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has spent more total weeks at No. 1, with 22 weeks.

“Choosin’ Texas” first reached No. 1 in February and has continued to lead the chart while also posting strong numbers in streaming, radio airplay and sales.

The hit also held No. 1 on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart for a 19th week and led Digital Song Sales for a 16th week. It rose from No. 6 to No. 5 on Radio Songs after previously reaching No. 4.

The song also remains a major force on Billboard’s country rankings. “Choosin’ Texas” has topped Hot Country Songs for 37 weeks and Songs of the Summer for 12 weeks.

Langley also has more than one song making an impact on the Hot 100. Her collaboration with Morgan Wallen, “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” is in the top 10, while “Be Her” also remains among the chart’s biggest songs.

While “Choosin’ Texas” continues its historic run, Langley is also busy bringing her Dandelion Tour to fans across the United States.

Her recent shows have drawn large crowds. Per KIII TV, more than 9,000 fans attended her sold-out Aug. 14 concert at Hilliard Center in Corpus Christi. The event became the venue’s highest-attended concert since new management took over in June 2022.

Langley also performed in Little Rock, Arkansas, where another unexpected moment caught fans’ attention. Drake was spotted dancing and singing along during her performance of “Choosin’ Texas.”

The two artists later appeared to meet backstage as iHeart Country shared photos of the two smiling while talking together.

The Dandelion Tour continues with upcoming stops in Auburn, Newark, State College, Charleston, Oxford, Athens, Jacksonville, Knoxville, Columbus and other cities through October.

As “Choosin’ Texas” continues its record-setting run, her backstage moment with “Stayin’ Alive” gave supporters a fitting soundtrack for her 19th week at the top.

Sharon Osbourne Reveals How Family's Reality Show Actually Came to Be

Tue, 08/25/2026 - 10:22am

Sharon Osbourne wasn’t even home when MTV cameras first came into her famous family’s lives.

Chatting on a recent episode of The Osbournes podcast — which has the same title as their family reality show that ran from 2002 to 2005 — she explained to son Jack Osbourne just how it all came to be.

“Well, you remember you guys did Cribs,” she said of celebrity house tour show on the same network. “I wasn’t in it. I was away, and they came into the house, and it was popular.”

View this post on Instagram

“People wanted more, and I asked your dad, and I said they want to come for three weeks,” she shared of the show’s patriarch, Ozzy Osbourne, who died last year. “He’s like, ‘Okay, I don’t care,’ and three weeks ended up three years.”

Little did the family know that this originally small window of filming would continue for years, Sharon continued.

“It wasn’t meant to be what it ended up,” she said of the multi-season show, which featured the late rocker’s life as a dad and followed the everyday antics of his kids Jack and sister Kelly Osbourne, who were teenagers at the time. Sharon and Ozzy are also parents to oldest daughter Aimee Osbourne, who declined to appear on the show.

The program also solidified itself as one of the first celebrity family reality shows in the early aughts, which made way for shows like Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, which followed Jessica Simpson and then-husband Nick Lachey.

In the 20 years since their show wrapped, the entertainment landscape dramatically changed with the advent of social media and new technology for consuming shows. Jack has publicly reflected on his time in front of reality TV cameras throughout the last two decades.

On Howie Mandel‘s podcast in 2024, Jack explained that the show only lasted three and a half seasons because “it wasn’t sustainable.”

“It was taking a huge toll on everyone’s mental psyche,” he said. “Because my dad has been well-known for many many many years, he was rock and roll famous. He wasn’t TV famous, and that’s a very different thing.”

It’s worth noting that Jack and Ozzy actually made their return to reality TV in 2016 with Ozzy & Jack’s World Detour, which aired on A&E.

The Osbournes is now available to stream on platforms including Peacock and Amazon Prime Video.

Hayden Panettiere's Representative Addresses ‘Disrespectful' Rumors Following Actress’ Death As Investigation Continues

Tue, 08/25/2026 - 10:04am

Hayden Panettiere’s representative has released a new statement, asking fans to be respectful and stop spreading misinformation after the actress’s tragic death at the age of 36.

“Many people who were not close to Hayden are using her death as an opportunity to fuel gossip and speculation about a situation they knew very little about,” the representative said in a statement to US Weekly. “It is deeply disrespectful to her memory and to those who knew and loved her and are actively grieving this tremendous loss.”

“If you have legitimate information that could be helpful, please contact law enforcement rather than turning to social media to speculate publicly about something you do not fully understand,” the statement continued. “There is much more to this story than what is currently being discussed publicly, and those closest to Hayden are actively cooperating with the ongoing investigation to help ensure that the truth comes to light and that justice is properly served.”

Panettiere died on Aug. 16 after authorities received “a 911 call regarding a reported cardiac arrest.” Life-saving measures were used by first responders, but they were unable to resuscitate the actress. An investigation was launched into her death, and an autopsy determined there were “no signs of trauma.” The exact cause of death has not been revealed.

It has also been revealed that Panettiere’s on-again, off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, was on the scene when she was found dead. He recently broke his silence on her passing.

“Hayden’s death remains under investigation, and it is important to allow that investigation to proceed,” a statement from Hickerson’s attorney said. “As has been publicly reported, police confirmed there were no signs of foul play. Out of respect for Hayden’s loved ones and the ongoing investigation, there will be no further comment at this time.”

Dubbed as “sturdy” and “adorable” by shoppers, this whimsical black cat brings personality to your outdoor space during the day and a “bright” glow after dark. Measuring 20.8 inches tall and 12 inches wide, the silhouette features a curious cat sitting upright with one paw extended, holding a hanging lantern that measures 4.7 inches high by 3 inches wide. 

Instead of a solid silhouette, the cat’s body is decorated with intricate floral and leafy cutout details that resemble delicate paper-cut artwork, giving the design a lighter, more decorative feel. The lantern hangs from a short chain beneath the raised paw, moving when the breeze picks up, while the sturdy ground stake makes it easy to nestle into flower beds, planters, pathways, or landscaped borders.

The built-in solar panel charges throughout the day, then automatically turns the LED lantern on at dusk and off at sunrise with no outlets, batteries, or wiring required. Once fully charged, the light provides 8 to 10 hours of illumination, casting a warm glow that’s perfect for welcoming guests or adding ambiance to al fresco dinners. 

Made with weather-resistant materials that can withstand “pouring rain and windy conditions” as well as snow and heat according to shoppers, it’s designed to stay outdoors season after season.

Are Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson Actually Related?

Tue, 08/25/2026 - 9:56am

For years, rumors have continued to circulate that Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey might be more than friends, with some (including the actors themselves) speculating that they might indeed be brothers.

As detailed by E! News, both actors have shared their own thoughts about the matter, hinting they might be related through a tongue-in-cheek reference from McConaughey’s mother, Mary Kathlene McConaughey.

As Harrelson once recalled, Mary hinted as much to the actor after the two had known each other for close to three decades.

“She told me, ‘I knew your father,’ like, you know, with the ellipses, ‘I knew… your father,’” Harrelson said. “So, I’m thinking, ‘Well, that’s weird that she’s never told me this [in] 25 years.’”

Per Harrelson’s story, Mary (whom Harrelson referred to as “MaMac”) was “feeling good” following a healthy indulgence in her Kendall-Jackson wine, apparently prompting her to allude to a potential relationship with Harrelson’s father decades prior.

“She tells me [that information], and I’m thinking, ‘Well, what’s behind this story?’” the Zombieland star said. “And then I find out they weren’t just friends — there was a little more to it.”

At the same time, McConaughey himself has similarly wondered about his connection to Harrelson, even referencing the fateful trip that saw his mother hint at a potential past romance with Harrelson’s father.

“In Greece a few years ago, we’re sitting around talking about how close we are and our families,” McConaughey said in 2023. “And my mom is there, and she says, ‘Woody, I knew your dad.’ Everyone was aware of the ellipses that my mom left after ‘knew.’ It was a loaded K-N-E-W.”

Interestingly, the story between the two frequent co-stars will provide the backbone to the upcoming TV series Brothers, which will see the two actors play fictionalized versions of themselves who discover they are actually brothers.

Iconic NBC Comedy Starring Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin Set For 20th-Anniversary Reunion At Historic NYC Venue

Tue, 08/25/2026 - 9:52am

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 20 years since ’30 Rock’ premiered on NBC, starring Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin.

And now, the stars of the show are set to reunite for one-night only to celebrate this anniversary while also raising money for an incredible cause.

Cast members and special guests will host an event on Oct 11 at Radio City Music Hall in New York, with Fey, Baldwin, Tracy Morgan, Jane Krakowski, and Jack McBrayer already set to attend, Variety reports.

“Listen up tens, a five is speaking! Please join us to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the show Tom Shales once said ‘needs a better premise and funnier dialogue… and most of all a more commanding performer in the starring role,’” Fey said in a statement.

Presale for tickets will begin on Aug. 26 at 10 am ET, and general sales will begin on Aug. 27 at 10 am ET.

The event will benefit The Boys and Girls Club of Harlem.

“We’re honored to be named the charitable partner for this celebration,” Shaba R. Keys, president & CEO of The Boys and Girls Club of Harlem, said. “All net proceeds go directly toward the after-school, academic, and career programs that help more than 2,000 Harlem young people each year chart a path to their own futures—and we’re grateful to be part of a night this special.”

The hit show first premiered on NBC in 2006 and ended in 2013, spanning nearly 140 episodes. The premise centered on the writers and cast of the show “TGS,” which was a spoof of the hit sketch show “SNL.” Fey portrayed the head writer Liz Lemon, while Baldwin played NBC executive Jack Donaghy. Throughout its run, the show won 16 Emmy Awards, including three for outstanding comedy series and two for outstanding writing for a comedy series.

Today, the iHeartRadio Music Festival announced a handful of additional headliners for its upcoming concert event, and the diverse roster is bound to please music fans across genres. Officially joining the lineup are ’90s rock band Smashing Pumpkins, R&B star Ciara, and country singer Stella Lefty.

The organization released the news update on Tuesday, Aug. 25. “The iHeartRadio Music Festival will once again include one-of-a-kind collaborations and surprise performances,” a press release sent directly to Parade shared of the event presented by Capital One.

Smashing Pumpkins is known for popular ’90s alternative rock staples like “1979,” “Bullet with Butterfly Wings,” “Today,” “Tonight, Tonight,” and “Disarm.” They were originally formed in Chicago in 1988 by lead vocalist and guitarist Billy Corgan, guitarist James Iha, bassist D’arcy Wretzky, and drummer Jimmy Chamberlin. In addition to a spot at the music festival, they kick off their The Bats in a Cage Tour on Sept. 30 in Columbus, Ohio, wrapping up on Nov. 12 in Inglewood, Calif.

Ciara first entered the scene two decades ago as an R&B singer and dancer with hip-hop flair. She released her breakout project, the 5x platinum debut album, Goodies (2004), at just 19 years old—and hasn’t stopped since. The Grammy winner, known affectionately as the First Lady of Crunk&B, has delivered hit tracks like “1,2 Step,” “Ride,” “Like a Boy,” “Oh,” “Body Party,” “Level Up,” and more.

Meanwhile, Stella Lefty is riding a wave of hype at the moment, continuing to build momentum from her recent breakthrough hit, “Boston,” rounding out the Top 5 of all country songs on the Billboard Hot 100—a first in the chart’s history. The rising starlet is also set to make her Grand Ole Opry debut next month.

The newly announced talents join the festival’s setlist alongside previously announced performers BTS, Benson Boone, Cardi B, Goo Goo Dolls, Kenny Chesney, Lainey Wilson, LE SSERAFIM, Major Lazer, Muse, Snoop Dogg, Weezer, and Zara Larsson.

Ryan Seacrest has been tapped to host the fan-favorite event, which will be held at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Friday, Sept. 18 and Saturday, Sept. 19. For those unable to attend in person, fans can still tune into the action during the iHeartRadio Music Festival via streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
