Britney Spears' '…Baby One More Time' Gets a Stunning Bluegrass Makeover

Tue, 06/30/2026 - 3:44pm

There are few songs that define the late ‘90s and early 2000s quite like Britney Spears’ “...Baby One More Time.” Released in September 1998, the song, which captures the longing for the return of a teenage love, went on to become one of the best-selling singles of all time, with over 10 million copies sold. Over two decades later, the iconic pop anthem is getting a stunning makeover, featuring a crossover between one of pop music’s biggest stars and a rising bluegrass act. This unexpected pairing may be a surprise to fans, but it is already being called “iconic,” much like Britney’s original hit.

Pop star Keshais as known for her unexpected career moves as she is for her defining voice. Headlining Saturday’s Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival Superjam, the annual tradition that pairs a headliner with a seemingly mismatched group of up-and-coming musicians and surprise guests for an evening of curated mashups, Kesha was joined by Alabama-based bluegrass group Mountain Grass Unit for a completely unexpected yet fitting cover of Spears’ best-selling track.

While a bluegrass reinterpretation of one of pop music’s most iconic songs was not on most fans’ bingo cards, the performance highlights both the artists’ talent and the enduring legacy of the original track. Mashups and covers often feel familiar yet fresh, and this version of Britney Spears’ hit delivers both nostalgia and novelty, transporting fans back to when they first heard the song.

Surprised fans online quickly shared their reactions to the unlikely collaboration.

“Jam bands and the music I grew up with?? Yeah,” commented one fan. Another added, “This is actual insanity and I love it.”

“ABSOLUTELY NOT on my 2026 bingo card but DEFINITELY here for it,” shared another surprised listener.

Familiar and fresh all at once, Kesha and Mountain Grass Unit’s bluegrass-inspired cover of one of Britney Spears’ most iconic hits is a reminder that reinvention of a classic pop song may feel unexpected, but when done well, it offers fans a new way to connect with a beloved track.

Captain Sandy Wants Andy Cohen as Her 'Below Deck Med' Dream Charter Guest — But He Might Drive the Crew Crazy

Tue, 06/30/2026 - 3:22pm

Both Below Deck's Captain Kerry Titheradge and Below Deck Mediterranean's Captain Sandy Yawn have enthusiastically named Bravo's Andy Cohen as their dream charter guest. But after hearing Cohen describe his own yacht behavior, they might want to prepare the crew first.

"I would love Andy Cohen," Sandy recently told Carl Radke on his More Life with Carl Radke podcast. "I mean, you're there to break a few rules, aren't you? That's why you charter a yacht. But there's lines you don't cross. That's with the crew and obviously really illegal stuff. But other than that, they can break the rules. I don't care."

The funny part? Cohen has already admitted he'd be anything but a low-maintenance guest. During a 2019 Watch What Happens Live After Show game with Below Deck icons Chief Stew Kate Chastain and Captain Lee Rosbach, Cohen revealed the many ways he could test even the most patient yacht crew.

When asked about his charter habits, Cohen admitted he's tried to organize a crew talent show on every yacht he's visited.

"I would like them to do it and I try to get them to do a crew talent show every time!" Cohen said.

He also confessed to staying up "with the night watchman into the wee hours of the night, begging them to do shots."

Chastain and Captain Lee looked stunned, but Cohen explained his reasoning: "Because a lot of times my friends go to bed and I'm like, I hang out with the night watchmen!"

"That's so fun!" Chastain joked.

"I love it! I've hung out with Michael. Yes, that's where all the fun happens," Cohen replied, referring to one of the crew members bartending on WWHL that night.

While Cohen clarified that the crew isn't drinking with him, he admitted he likes to keep the party going — even jokingly referring to scuba excursions with crew members as "underwater dates."

Chastain laughed, asking if that was actually true.

"I mean, they hold your hand..." Cohen replied.

And when he's not trying to turn the yacht into a late-night hangout, Cohen admitted he loves getting the crew to spill all the details about their love lives — proving that Captain Sandy may be getting the charter guest of her dreams... but her crew might have a very different opinion.

Mick Jagger Hints at Future Rolling Stones Shows and New Music Plans

Tue, 06/30/2026 - 3:19pm

Even though they're about to release a new album, Mick Jaggersays The Rolling Stones still has more music and performances in their future.

"I don’t think there’ll be shows this year, but I hope to do some next year for the Stones," Jagger said in a wide-ranging interview for famed British music publication NME, and explained that this past year, "Keith [Richards] couldn’t commit, and he wasn’t feeling so great about touring and everything."

View this post on Instagram

When discussing the possibility of shows, Jagger mentioned that he likes howHarry Styles hunkers down in one place for a few performances at at a time.

"But we are gonna get live dates in for next year, hopefully… I’ll let you know when I know,” he said.

Jagger's thoughts on future performing somewhat align his bandmate Richards' thoughts as the famed guitar player recently said in an Uncut interview that, “I don’t know if tours are possible. It’s the traveling that takes it out of you. But I do see the possibility of us doing residency somewhere.”

Regardless of where and when any future performances will be though, the "Paint It, Black" singer shared that the band still has songs "in the tank" and doesn't plan to stop releasing music, even as their most recent album, Foreign Tongues, is set to be released in July.

“It could be a trio [of records]… I’ve already started writing songs anyway," he said, with the caveat that "they could be for other people though. When you write a song, you sometimes decide ‘that’s not for me, but it could be for the Chili Peppers’ or whatever.”

As for what's next in the immediate future, the band, which also includes Ronnie Wood, just came out with a six-part podcast, called Speaking in Tongues, which will revisit their 2023 album Hackney Diamonds. The podcast will include interviews with the band members and will also feature producer Andrew Watt, The Cure frontman Robert Smith, Steve Winwood, and artist Nathaniel Mary Quinn.

1982 Film Was Just Ranked the 'Greatest Sci-Fi Crime Thriller of All Time'

Tue, 06/30/2026 - 3:14pm

Some of the most compelling science fiction movies have elements of other genres, specifically thrillers.

For instance, on June 29, Collider published a list of "the 8 greatest sci-fi crime thrillers of all time" that included beloved movies like 2012's Looper, A Clockwork Orangefrom 1971, and Strange Days from 1995.

The 1982 Ridley Scott-directed film Blade Runner secured the title of the best sci-fi crime thriller ever released. Collider argued that Blade Runner should be at the top of the list because of its influence within the sci-fi genre and how its cinematography was expertly used to create the film's equally breathtaking and grimy atmosphere.

Ridley Scott Rejected the Belief that 'Blade Runner' Should Be Considered a Sci-Fi Film

In a 1982 interview, Scott explained why he rejected the belief that Blade Runner, an adaptation of the 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick, is a science fiction film. Scott said he would categorize it as a piece of literary fiction, given that it takes place only four decades away from when it was released.

"Well, it touches on a near future, which is only 40 years away, so I don't really look on it to that extent as being that futuristic. It's really like doing a film in the '40s looking at us now in the '80s. And things really haven't changed that much, just enough to be a little spooky, so I don't really regard it as a futuristic film," said the Alien director in the interview.

He also wanted to clarify that while the film touches on the ideas of the harm overpopulation can do to a society, he didn't intend for Blade Runner to be a warning of what humanity could become.

"[The audience is] quite clearly watching a fabrication, not necessarily a prediction of the future. I hope it's not the future," said Scott in the 1982 interview.

Foreigner Revives Controversial 1979 Song for First Time in Decades

Tue, 06/30/2026 - 3:11pm

Some songs become concert staples. Others disappear for decades.

Foreigner has revived "Women," one of the band's most controversial songs, bringing the 1979 Head Games track back into its live set after decades away.

The update came in Foreigner's latest fan "Ask Us Anything" newsletter, where guitarist and singer Luis Maldonado was asked whether the band had considered performing its 1987 album Inside Information in full. While that isn't currently in the plans, he said the group has been making an effort to pull more songs from across its catalog.

"We haven't approached that album with that in mind, but we are trying to add more songs in the set from all Foreigner albums," Maldonado wrote. "For instance, we just performed 'Women' and we had a blast!! It was never before performed live and we felt, why not?"

Originally released on Foreigner's 1979 album Head Games, "Women" later became the record's fourth single, reaching No. 41 on the Billboard Hot 100. The album itself climbed to No. 5 on the Billboard 200 and has since been certified five-times Platinum in the United States.

Despite its chart success, "Women" has long been one of the band's most debated songs. Built around Mick Jones' driving guitar riff, the lyrics string together a rapid-fire series of observations about different kinds of women. Some critics at the time dismissed the lyrics as chauvinistic, while others argued they were clearly intended as tongue-in-cheek. Both Jones and original frontman Lou Gramm have defended the song over the years as playful rather than misogynistic.

Jones has also spoken warmly about "Women," describing it as one of the band's favorite songs and praising its swaggering groove.

"You know, it was supposed to be a fun song, tongue-in-cheek a little bit – but yeah, it's one of the band's favorite songs to play," Jones told Ultimate Classic Rock in a 2019 interview. "Throughout all of the years, it always comes up, you know, the fans bring it up sometimes. There's certainly a nice little strut to it."

That enthusiasm appears to have carried over to today's lineup, with Maldonado saying the band "had a blast" bringing the song back to the stage.

The newsletter also included several other updates for fans. Maldonado said Foreigner hopes to make more new music once its busy touring schedule eases. In the meantime, the band has a live album recorded during its Ellis Island and Dumbo House performances scheduled for release on July 24.

He also confirmed that Foreigner will return to Las Vegas for a special performance in September before launching a longer residency there in 2027.

For fans who have waited years to hear deeper cuts return to the setlist, the revival of "Women" suggests Foreigner may continue reaching beyond its biggest hits as the tour rolls on.

Iconic '90s Rock Band Announces 2027 World Tour Update

Tue, 06/30/2026 - 3:10pm

Evanescence are taking their epic world tour to new heights, giving fans even more chances to see them live.

Following a string of sold-out shows, the beloved '90s rock band have announced an extra date to the Australian leg of their their long-awaited tour.

"We love you Melbourne! So much so that we’re adding another date," the "My Immortal" rockers posted in an Instagram statement.

The band's Australian tour will take place in March 2027, kicking off at Perth's RAC Arena on Mar. 5. Stops include Adelaide, Sydney, and Melbourne, with the tour concluding in Brisbane on Mar. 16.

Melbourne fans who missed out on the now sold-out date on Mar. 9, which takes place at the Rod Laver Arena, now have a second chance to get their hands on tickets for the newly added date on Mar 10.

Presale kicked off today, June 30, at 12pm AEST, and the general on sale will begin on July 2 at 1pm AEST.

Fans were ecstatic about the extra date, taking to the comments to share their excitement for the announcement.

"We absolutely adore you @amylee Can’t wait to see you in Melbourne next March," one fan commented.

Another wrote, "Would be rude not to attend this one also."

"Ya'll love us so much," a third said.

Formed in 1995 by lead singer and pianist Amy Lee and guitarist Ben Moody, Evanescence have solidified themselves as one of the most iconic rock bands to date. The Grammy-winning group catapulted to fame following the release of "Bring Me To Life," the lead single off their debut album Fallen. The record topped the charts in over ten countries, and was named by Rolling Stone as one of the 100 greatest metal albums of all time.

On June 5, 2026, the band released their sixth studio album, Sanctuary.

2004 Soft-Rock Piano Anthem Ranked a ‘Most Underrated Chorus of the 21st Century’ According to Billboard

Tue, 06/30/2026 - 3:07pm

Following the success of her breakout hit debut album, American musician Vanessa Carlton began working on her second studio album, Harmonium. The lead single from the album was the soft-rock piano anthem, "White Houses." A soaring, bright, orchestral song, the chorus from "White Houses" was ranked by Billboard as one of the most "underrated" of the 21st century. Of the ballad the magazine wrote:

"While every inch of the song 'White Houses' is impeccably crafted, the amorphous chorus impresses most of all. The chorus pans out, as most good choruses do, and examines the larger meaning of her journey through jealousy, lust and becoming an adult."

Carlton described the song as being about "rites of passage." She went further saying:

"It's about jealousy, it's about losing your virginity, it's about living on your own. It's a story that most people can relate to. It's really the journey of one girl and her perception of her environment and how she starts out as a wide-eyed person, but everyone gets hardened by life, but not necessarily to the point where you can't feel anymore."

Guitarist and singer Lindsey Buckingham of Fleetwood Mac contributed the acoustic guitar heard in the song.

Billboard critic Jonathon Newan sung further praises of "White Houses" stating:

"[The song is] beautifully humble and amazingly crafted. The in-depth lyrics which almost any nomad can relate to on a person level gives it an extraordinary inner-meaning, and the spectacular background arrangement is something that most pop songs lack. It's profound. It should be Carlton's next hit."

During the world premiere of the song and its music video in 2004, some radio stations, MTV, and VH1 all chose to censor specific lyrics of the song. Carlton called the situation "frustrating" and attributed the controversy with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake at the Superbowl previously that year to media's sensitivity around censorship.

"White Houses" peaked at 86 on the Billboard Hot 100, but did manage to break into the Top 40 Billboard's Top 40 Mainstream and Adult Top 40 charts. The single would be the last time Carlton would appear on the Hot 100 to date.

'70s Rock Band Announces Update on 2026 Tour

Tue, 06/30/2026 - 3:06pm

Cheap Trick fans have three more opportunities to catch the legendary rock band on stage this fall.

The Rock & Roll Hall of Famers have announced three new dates as special guests on ZZ Top's ongoing 2026 tour. The newly added performances will take place Sept. 26 in Nashville, Tennessee, followed by Oct. 3 in The Woodlands, Texas, and Oct. 4 in Irving, Texas.

"Three new dates with ZZ Top just announced!" the band shared on Instagram. "Presale begins 10am Wednesday with code CTLIVE – general on ale Friday."

The additions come as both bands continue expanding their touring schedules amid strong demand. Cheap Trick is currently supporting its 2025 album All Washed Up, while ZZ Top has also extended its own touring plans throughout 2026.

The new dates also continue a busy comeback on the road for Cheap Trick after the band was forced to postpone seven headlining shows in June. Those concerts had originally been scheduled following a string of performances with Styx, and the group has since begun rescheduling the affected dates while adding new appearances to its calendar.

View this post on Instagram

Formed in Rockford, Illinois, in 1973, Cheap Trick has spent more than five decades building one of classic rock's most enduring catalogs. Breakthrough albums such as In Color and Heaven Tonight, along with timeless hits including "I Want You to Want Me," "Surrender," "Dream Police" and "The Flame," helped establish the quartet as one of rock's defining live acts. The band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2016 and continues to tour extensively.

"I think we just do what we do and we don't try to be somebody else," guitarist Rick Nielsen told Louder Than War. "When you try to be somebody else or try to be something or try to figure out what’s going on in the world….we just do what we do. I tell people, I don’t think we've ever progressed."

The band's partnership with ZZ Top brings together two of rock's most recognizable groups. Throughout 2026, ZZ Top has also shared the stage with artists including George Thorogood and Dwight Yoakam, while Cheap Trick has performed alongside Styx and welcomed support from acts including the Pat Travers Band, James Hatem and the Calling.

With new dates now on the schedule and additional shows continuing to be added, Cheap Trick's 2026 tour remains one of the band's busiest in years. And, while the band has no plans of slowing down any time soon, touring continues to present its own set of challenges after so many years in the industry.

"Keeping it fresh can be hard, because some of the guys in the band have an idea that you've got to play the hits and do what the crowd wants to hear," frontman Robin Zander told Louder. "And I've always been the opposite of that. I've always thought: 'Let’s turn them on to some Cheap Trick music that they don't know we do, and see what happens.' But we work it out. Every night we try to work out a different setlist."

More than 50 years after first forming, the veteran rockers continue proving that their reputation as one of rock’s premier live bands is as strong as ever.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's Reported Wedding Plans Include Two Major Celebrations

Tue, 06/30/2026 - 3:03pm

New details are emerging about what could be one of the most closely watched celebrity weddings in recent memory. Swiftie have been piecing together details like who's going to perform, where it's going to be, and when. 

After days of speculation surrounding Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's reported wedding plans, CBS News reports that the couple is expected to host two major celebrations at Madison Square Garden over the Fourth of July weekend, including a rehearsal dinner and a late-night reception.

Neither Swift nor Kelce has publicly confirmed the plans, but multiple law enforcement sources familiar with the security preparations have shared new details about the reported festivities.

Reports Reveal Rehearsal Dinner and Late-Night Celebration

According to CBS News, Swift and Kelce are expected to kick off the weekend with a rehearsal dinner Thursday evening at the Infosys Theater inside Madison Square Garden. The gathering is reportedly expected to host around 100 guests.

A second, much larger celebration is then expected to take place Friday night, with sources telling CBS News the event could accommodate roughly 1,000 attendees and continue into the early hours of Saturday morning.

The latest report follows earlier revelations that event organizers secured a street activity permit for the area surrounding Madison Square Garden from July 2 through July 4, fueling weeks of speculation that the iconic venue would play a central role in the festivities.

Security Expected to Be Extensive

Given Swift's global popularity and the enormous public interest surrounding the wedding, security planning has reportedly become a major undertaking.

CBS News reports that private security will handle protection inside the venue, while the New York Police Department is expected to manage crowds, media and fans gathered outside.

Retired NYPD Assistant Chief John Hart told the outlet that Madison Square Garden's enclosed layout should help organizers keep guests safe, though he expects the surrounding area to be packed with photographers and fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the celebration.

"Paparazzi chasing cars with guests and swarming hotels will be a side issue that will fall to NYPD as well," Hart told CBS News.

The reported celebrations come after months of intense speculation surrounding Swift and Kelce's engagement and wedding plans. Earlier reports suggested the couple had reserved Madison Square Garden for a private event, though neither has publicly commented on the ongoing rumors.

If the reported schedule proves accurate, the holiday weekend celebration is expected to become one of the biggest celebrity events of the year, with hundreds of guests, heightened security and countless fans watching from outside the iconic New York venue.

Nina Dobrev Reveals the 1 Kind of Love Scene She Doesn't Recommend

Tue, 06/30/2026 - 2:51pm

Nina Dobrev is sharing why she doesn't recommend filming love scenes with actors she's close friends with.

During a June 30 appearance on Live with Kelly and Mark, Dobrev looked back on filming a romantic scene with Aaron Paul in The Get Out, admitting their longtime friendship made the kiss anything but romantic.

"It was like making out with my brother. Don't recommend it," she joked, explaining that the awkwardness had nothing to do with Paul's performance and everything to do with their platonic relationship.

"Although Aaron… not to… he was great," Dobrev quickly clarified. "That's not… you get it!"

She went on to explain that the pair have been friends for well over a decade.

"Aaron and I have known each other—him and his wife and I met, I think, in 2011," Dobrev said. "So we've been friends for a while."

In The Get Out, Russell Crowe stars as a nightclub owner hoping to leave his dangerous past behind and retire with his girlfriend. When masked gunmen—played by Dobrev and Paul—rob him and ruthless cartels close in, a mysterious buyer emerges, forcing him into a deadly fight for survival.

View this post on Instagram

Dobrev described making the film as a "super fun... action thriller comedy."

She's also reuniting with another longtime friend, her The Vampire Diaries co-star Paul Wesley, for the upcoming series You Deserve to Know.

"I've been waiting to share this one," Dobrev wrote on social media while tagging Wesley. "Paul Wesley and I are reuniting to executive produce and star in You Deserve to Know. We fell in love with this novel, and getting to help shape its adaptation from both sides of the camera has been incredibly exciting."

Based on the 2025 novel of the same name, the series follows three close-knit suburban moms whose seemingly perfect lives unravel after Gwen's (Dobrev) husband, Scott (Wesley), is found murdered following a Friday night dinner. As the investigation unfolds, long-buried secrets, betrayals, affairs, and jealousies come to light, forcing the women to question both their husbands and the true nature of their friendship.

‘Fast & Furious’ Star Jordana Brewster Reveals Why She Underwent Awake Brain Surgery

Tue, 06/30/2026 - 2:42pm

Fast & Furious franchise star Jordana Brewster is opening up about her experience undergoing awake brain surgery.

Brewster, 46, skyrocketed to fame as Mia Toretto in the popular racing franchise, which started in 2001 with The Fast and the Furious alongside Michelle RodriguezVin Diesel, and Paul Walker. However, the star had a serious health condition brewing. At age 28, she was diagnosed with cavernous malformation (CVM), an abnormal cluster of thin, fragile blood vessels located in the language area of her brain. While the condition can cause seizures and potentially life-threatening bleeding, it can be controlled by medication, diet, and sometimes surgery. Eventually, Brewster chose to take the surgical route and underwent an awake craniotomy in 2020 after two “breakthrough” seizures.

“They shaved this part, and then they opened my skull. I was on my side, and there was someone in front of me showing me cards and sort of testing my language and two brilliant neurosurgeons behind me,” Brewster shared on the June 30 episode of the “She MD” podcast. “If I couldn’t come up with a word association or if I couldn’t answer a question they knew, ‘Oh, OK, we’ve hit a part of the brain we shouldn’t hit and let’s stay away from there.’”

Brewster went on to say that the surgery was successful.

"Thank God. They got it out,” she said, US Weekly noted. “I’ve been seizure-free, symptom-free for six years now and I’m so grateful.”

Check out Brewster's interview on the podcast below:

Making the Decision to Change Her Life

While Brewster had been dealing with the condition for years, she found the strength to deal with it head-on after she split from her husband of 13 years, Andrew Form. Now happier than ever, she's married to Mason Morfit.

“I think that helped also to give me the bravery to do something about the CVM,” she continued. “I got a divorce, I found the love of my life. It was like Eat, Pray, Love on steroids. … With brain surgery.”

Brewster noted that she finally decided to undergo the surgery because she "just wanted this out so that I wouldn’t be burdened by it anymore."

"It was this constant cloud where I was like, ‘Oh, my God, what if. I’m a control freak too. To lose control and to convulse in front of people or to lose control if you’re with your kid... that was always a constant fear. I’m so relieved that I’m able to talk about it now, hopefully help others and get it off my chest," she concluded.

Martha Stewart’s 'Sturdy' Patio Table Is Now 53% Off, and It's Perfect for Summer Dinners Outside 

Tue, 06/30/2026 - 2:36pm

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

Summer is finally here, and if your plans involve outdoor dinners, backyard hangouts, or weekend hosting, you may be taking a closer look at what your patio actually needs. If your current table is looking a little worn down, Martha Stewart’s Bedford Aluminum Patio Table is a must-see upgrade you can get at a discount right now on Amazon. The brown 62-inch version is on sale for $298 instead of $640, which makes it 53% off and the best-priced option among the current color and size combinations. It also comes in grey and in a larger 71-inch size.

The patio table measures 62 inches long, 35 inches wide, and 30 inches high, and is designed to seat six people. It features a rustproof aluminum frame, a slatted top, a hand-brushed woodgrain finish, adjustable protective floor glides, and a 1.75-inch hole for pairing with a patio umbrella. The table weighs just under 41 pounds, has a 200-pound weight capacity, and can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.

The 62-inch length gives you enough room for plates, drinks, serving dishes, and a few tabletop extras, which is great if you like hosting casual dinners outdoors. The brushed woodgrain finish gives it a warmer look than a standard metal table, while the aluminum frame makes it practical for outdoor use. The umbrella hole is also ideal if your patio, deck, or backyard gets direct sun during the day.

One reviewer, who bought the brown 62-inch version, said that the “full price seems expensive, but it appears to be worth the price,” adding that it "looks just like the picture." The same reviewer noted that “it was easy to attach the four legs,” and that the table “seems very sturdy.”

The brown finish is the best-priced option right now, and it’s also easy to pair with many outdoor furniture pieces. It has a wood-inspired look without being a wooden table, so it can work with black metal chairs, woven patio seats, cream cushions, or other warm-toned pieces. The gray version has a cooler look and may be a good fit if your outdoor space already has gray decking, stone, or black-and-white accents.

Now at $298 on Amazon, it’s a worthwhile find for anyone whose patio, deck, or backyard could use a better table this summer.

What Your Zodiac Symbol (Glyph) Means, According to Expert Astrologers

Tue, 06/30/2026 - 2:33pm

Each zodiac sign is assigned a unique symbol, known as a glyph. For instance, while Libra is represented by the scales of justice, Aries is symbolized by the horns of a ram. These 12 simple designs carry centuries of astrological history and are believed to reflect each sign's core traits, mythology, and symbolism. Naturally, many people are curious about what their zodiac glyph means and how it relates to their personality.

To better understand the history and symbolism behind the zodiac glyphs, Parade Astrology spoke with Cristina Farella, a practicing astrologer and author of Divination for Dummies. Farella holds an MA in Western Intellectual Traditions from the CUNY Graduate Center.

The Glyphs for Each Zodiac Sign

Aries ♈︎
Taurus ♉︎
Gemini ♊︎
Cancer ♋︎
Leo ♌︎
Virgo ♍︎
Libra ♎︎
Scorpio ♏︎
Sagittarius ♐︎
Capricorn ♑︎
Aquarius ♒︎
Pisces ♓︎

What Do Zodiac Sign Glyphs Represent?

The zodiac glyphs are shorthand symbols to label each sign. Each symbol carries distinct meanings, adding an extra layer to our understanding of the deeper significance of each zodiac archetype. Cristina Farella, author of Divination for Dummies, shares the historical context: "The glyphs originated in late Classical Greek horoscope papyri, were continuously preserved in medieval Byzantine manuscripts, and were later stylized into the standardized forms we recognize today during the Renaissance."

The founder of Eighth House Astrology further explains, "Zodiacal glyphs are the visual symbols that represent the twelve signs of the zodiac." When studying astrology, we often start by memorizing the names and meanings of these signs. However, learning the glyphs elevates our understanding of the cosmos. "You can think of the glyphs as part of the alphabet of the language of astrology."

Glyphs for Each Zodiac Sign and Their Meanings

If you're interested in the symbols or glyphs related to your zodiac sign and their meanings, you've come to the right place. Cristina Farella shares her expert insights on astrological interpretations and mythology, providing us with a deeper understanding of each star sign. Below, we delve into her interpretations of the symbolism associated with each sign.

Aries is the first zodiac sign, and its glyph represents the Ram.

Aries

Aries is the ram, and its symbol is literally meant to represent the muzzle and curved horns of the animal. It’s one of the most literal representations of a sign we have in the zodiac. Seen a little differently, though, the Aries glyph can also be the cornucopia, or the horn of plenty, a symbol of springtime abundance.

Taurus' glyph represents the bull.

Taurus

The glyph for Taurus, the bull, offers another pretty literal representation of its meaning. Farella points out that in Taurus's circle-and-horns, we can see the image of the face of the bull when we see Taurus’s symbol. Taking the pieces apart, we see the circle of spirit crowned by the crescent of potential, a symbol of feminine receptivity.

Gemini's glyph mirrors the Roman numeral for two.

Gemini

Gemini is represented by what looks like a Roman numeral “two,” and that’s because the sign Gemini is the sign of the twins. This reflects Gemini’s inherent talent for holding the tension of opposites, which supports the sign’s deep curiosity.

Cancer's glyph represents the pincers of the crab.

Cancer

Cancer’s glyph looks like two spirals hovering over one another, representing the symmetric claws (or pincers) of a crab, creating an enclosed space. This is perfect for Cancer, symbolizing the depths of soulful interiority. The heart-space and how we protect it are represented by this sign.

The lion is mirrored in Leo's glyph.

Leo

Leo the golden lion’s symbol is comprised of a circle with a hook flowing off of it, which is said to represent the lion’s tail. Some also note the circle of spirit, adorned with an inverted chalice, representing the individual’s strength of inner vision–a major trait of Leo.

Virgo is known as the maiden.

Virgo

Virgo is represented by a maiden holding a shaft of wheat, and its glyph resembles an "M" with an additional line that curves inward at the end. Some historians suggest that the symbol is derived from a stylized version of the first three letters of the Greek word "parthenos," which means "virgin." Others interpret it as a stylized maiden modestly crossing her legs. This gesture is powerful for the maiden, as she symbolizes the sovereignty of the inner feminine.

Libra is represented by the scales.

Libra

Despite the star sign's reputation for lively warmth, Libra is the only zodiac sign represented by an inanimate object. Its glyph depicts a set of scales of justice, which peace-keeping Libra strives to keep in balance.

Scorpio is symbolized by the scorpion.

Photo by sarayut Thaneerat on Getty Images

Scorpio

The symbol for Scorpio features the scorpion's upward-pointing tail, also likely referencing Mars, the traditional planetary ruler of Scorpio. As Farella explains, Scorpio's glyph echoes Virgo's, which is intriguing because, before the 1st century BCE, Virgo and Scorpio were positioned next to each other in the zodiacal order. However, the ancient Romans re-drew these constellations and inserted Libra between them.

Sagittarius is associated with a wise archer.

Sagittarius

According to Farella, the Sagittarius glyph isn't just the centaur, but the arrow already in flight — a nod to the sign's drive for expansion and direct action. In mythology, the centaur's bow and arrow represent the ability to balance instinct (the horse) with wisdom and intellect (the human), themes that are distilled into the simple arrow glyph.

Capricorn is marked by the sea goat.

Photo by sarayut Thaneerat on Getty Images

Capricorn

Capricorn's glyph is an unusual blend of two creatures: the strong horns of a goat and the curling tail of a fish. This symbol represents the sea-goat myth and embodies Capricorn's dual nature, as it excels both on solid ground and in navigating complex situations.

Aquarius is represented by the air element.

Photo by sarayut Thaneerat on Getty Images

Aquarius

The glyph for Aquarius features two zigzag lines, one positioned above the other. Some interpretations suggest that these lines symbolize wind disturbing the water's surface, as Aquarius is both an Air sign and is known as the water bearer, carrying a jar of water on its back. Others view the lines as representing the swift movement of air, which aligns with Aquarius's elemental association.

Pisces connects the material and non-physical realms in its glyph.

Photo by sarayut Thaneerat on Getty Images

Pisces

Pisces is represented by two crescents connected by a horizontal line, with the crescents facing away from each other. This symbolizes the Pisces constellation, which depicts two fish tethered by a ribbon of stars. Each fish swims in different realms—one in the world of day and the other in the realm of dreams. The horizontal line between them, representing the star ribbon, illustrates the connection between the conscious and unconscious mind.

1992 Movie Soundtrack, Named One of the 50 Greatest Grunge Albums Ever, Defined a Generation

Tue, 06/30/2026 - 2:27pm

The best movie soundtracks don’t just capture a film’s mood and tone—they illuminate the story and the characters’ journeys through music. Occasionally, a soundtrack transcends the film itself, becoming a generation-defining album that transports listeners back in time while standing on its own as an unforgettable musical experience.

In 1992, at the height of the grunge movement, Cameron Crowe’s Singles captured the heart and soul of Seattle’s exploding music scene. Released on June 30, 1992, the film’s soundtrack has become one of the defining albums of the decade. More than three decades later, Rolling Stone still considers the Singles soundtrack one of the greatest grunge albums ever.

@primetimeaic

For the great movie “Singles”, On June 7th 1992 Alice In Chains released great. Do you think this is the greatest AIC song or just a great AIC song? #fyp #aliceinchains #rock #would #single

♬ Would? (2022 Remaster) - Alice In Chains How Singles Captured the Spirit of the Grunge Era

Singles starred Bridget Fonda as an earnest, love-struck coffee shop waitress opposite former Brat Packer Matt Dillon, who played the effortlessly cool frontman of the fictional band Citizen Dick.

While the film perfectly captured the early 1990s—from flannel shirts and combat boots to long hair and Seattle coffee culture—it also featured appearances from real-life grunge icons, including Eddie Vedder, Jeff Ament, Stone Gossard, Chris Cornell, and members of Alice in Chains.

Yet it was the soundtrack that elevated Singles beyond a beloved romantic comedy. More than a companion to the film, the album became a defining snapshot of a musical movement, preserving the raw emotion, authenticity, and edge that made Seattle the center of the rock world.

Why the Singles Soundtrack Became a Grunge Classic

The Singles soundtrack did far more than support the movie—it helped introduce grunge to a mainstream audience. One of the first blockbuster movie soundtracks of the 1990s, it crystallized the Seattle sound and showcased many of the artists who would define the decade.

Featuring songs from Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Mudhoney, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Screaming Trees, and Paul Westerberg's first solo effort since the breakup of the Replacements, the album captured the diversity of the city's music scene while helping cement those bands' places in rock history.

Rather than feeling like a collection of songs, the soundtrack plays like a greatest-hits introduction to the grunge movement, making it just as rewarding to hear from start to finish today as it was in 1992.

Singles Soundtrack Track List @foundyouhiding

on this day 34 years agothe singles soundtrack was released and what a banger it is #vinyl #soundtrack #90s #grunge #singles

The soundtrack features an extraordinary lineup of songs from some of the biggest names in rock:

  • "Would?" — Alice in Chains
  • "Breath" — Pearl Jam
  • "Seasons" — Chris Cornell
  • "Dyslexic Heart" — Paul Westerberg
  • "Battle of Evermore" — The Lovemongers
  • "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns" — Mother Love Bone
  • "Birth Ritual" — Soundgarden
  • "State of Love and Trust" — Pearl Jam

  • "Waiting for Somebody" — Paul Westerberg
  • "May This Be Love" — The Jimi Hendrix Experience
  • "Nearly Lost You" — Screaming Trees
  • "Drown" — The Smashing Pumpkins
Why the Soundtrack Still Resonates Today

The Singles soundtrack didn't simply reflect the grunge era—it helped define it. It introduced countless listeners to Seattle's most influential artists while preserving one of the most exciting moments in rock history on a single album.

If you weren't wearing Doc Martens and flannel shirts before the Singles soundtrack arrived, chances are you were afterward. Fashion trends have come and gone, but the music's emotional honesty and raw power continue to resonate. More than 30 years later, the soundtrack remains one of the greatest introductions to grunge ever assembled, proving that some albums don't just define an era—they outlive it.

Disneyland Is Offering a Rare Evening Ticket Deal This Summer

Tue, 06/30/2026 - 2:25pm

Summer is one of the most popular times to visit Disneyland, but it can also be one of the busiest. Between soaring temperatures, packed walkways and long attraction lines, some guests have started looking for ways to enjoy the parks without spending hundreds and committing to a full day.

Now, Disneyland is giving visitors another option. The resort has introduced a limited-time ticket offer that makes it easier to experience the parks after the daytime rush, making it an appealing choice for anyone hoping to soak up the magic during cooler evening hours.

🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 

Experience Disneyland After Dark for Less This Summer View this post on Instagram

KTLA reports that the new option, available beginning June 30, costs $59 for ages 3 and up and grants admission to one park for the evening. Tickets are for select nights from July 12 through August 5 and are valid Sundays through Wednesdays.

Guests can choose between Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure Park, with admission beginning at 7 p.m. for Disneyland Park and 5 p.m. for Disney California Adventure.

The timing also lines up with the ongoing Disneyland Resort 70th Celebration, giving evening ticket holders the chance to experience anniversary entertainment, themed merchandise, limited-time treats and the festive atmosphere that continues throughout the summer.

For many visitors, evening is one of the best times to enjoy Disneyland. Temperatures tend to cool off, the parks take on a completely different look after sunset, and nighttime entertainment helps create an unforgettable atmosphere.

There's Plenty to See Once You're Inside

The evening ticket also arrives at an exciting time for Disneyland fans. The resort recently refreshed its iconic Pirates of the Caribbean attraction, giving returning guests another reason to stop by and experience one of the park's most beloved rides.

Of course, attractions aren't the only draw. Disneyland continues to introduce seasonal snacks and fan-favorite menu items throughout the summer, making it a great opportunity to sample some of the resort's best food while strolling through the parks after dark.

Because the promotion is only available for a limited time and reservation availability is separate from standard park admission, guests planning to take advantage of the offer may want to book sooner rather than later.

Disneyland's new evening ticket is one of the season's best values. Whether you're hoping to catch nighttime entertainment, ride classic attractions or enjoy a summer evening surrounded by Disney magic, this limited-time offer makes it affordable to plan a Disney visit.

This Classic 'Adult Fairytale' With Longest-Ever Cannes Ovation Returns to Theaters

Tue, 06/30/2026 - 2:20pm

Guillermo del Toro's latest masterpiece Frankenstein was showered in Academy Award nominations and even walked away with a few trophies earlier this year.

The renowned filmmaker, 61, also won three Oscars for Pan's Labyrinth, which is now celebrating its 20th anniversary in the most cinematic of ways.

Cineverse is partnering to re-release del Toro's master creation in theaters nationwide on October 9 in 4K and with versions available in both 3D and HDR by Barco — the dedicated HDR viewing solution offering up to 6 times higher peak luminance. Each version for the re-release has been overseen by The Shape of Water director himself.

Check out the all-new trailer for the epic re-release below.

As film buffs might recall, the film's original claim to fame was its Cannes Film Festival premiere, which received a 22-minute standing ovation — the longest in festival history. Twenty years later, after all the other award-winning films del Toro has made since, fans still argue Pan's Labyrinth is his best of all time.

The story takes place in 1944, in the aftermath of the Spanish Civil War. Young Ofelia and her pregnant mother have been brought to live in the countryside, where her brutal stepfather Captain Vidal's job is to wipe out the remaining rebels camped in the local forest. Nearby, in a hidden labyrinth, Ofelia meets an ageless Faun, who tells her that she is really a princess from an enchanted world. He gives her three tasks which she must complete in order to reclaim her rightful place. As her mother's failing health threatens the life of her unborn child, Ofelia undertakes a quest to complete the Faun's tasks.

Tickets for Guillermo del Toro’s Pan Labyrinth 20th Anniversary will be available online on September 9 and at participating theater box offices (theater locations are subject to change). For more information and to be among the first notified when tickets go on sale, please visit Fathom Entertainment.
