'60s Pop Icon, Whose Career-Defining Hit Was Covered by Debbie Harry, Turns 81

Wed, 09/09/2026 - 6:07am

American R&B and pop singer Dee Dee Sharp quickly became one of the most iconic voices of the 1960s thanks to her hit songs that have sold millions of units. On Sept. 9, 2026, the beloved musician turned 81.

Born Dione LaRue in Philadelphia, Penn., Sharp began her music career at 13 years old. Motivated by her mother’s health, she began responding to ads looking for backup singers.

“My mother had had a bad accident, and I was worried about how my mother was going to take care of us, how my dad was going to take care of us, and I told my grandmother, ‘I’ve got to get a job,'” she explained during an interview on the Big Joe Henry Variety Show.

Sharp worked as a background vocalist for prominent artists like Bobby Rydell, Frankie Avalon, and Chubby Checker, but she never thought that it would lead to her having her own chart-dominating hit.

She explained, “I was doing all of this background stuff … had no idea that in February of 1962, someone was going to hand me a record and say, ‘just sing it.'”

Of course, Sharp was talking about her hit single “Mashed Potato Time,” a song that would become one of the defining songs of a decade. At the time, she was just 16 years old and inspired by the dance craze revived in the early 1960s.

The track topped the Billboard R&B chart and peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100.

“Mashed Potato Time” has been covered by many other notable musicians over the years. Motown legends The Marvelettes put their own spin on the track on the 1962 record The Marvelettes Sing. In 1989, The Ramones bassist Dee Dee Ramone covered “Mashed Potato Time” under the name Dee Dee King, reimagining the hit with Blondie frontwoman Debbie Harry, who provided the backing vocals.

Sharp has been recognized for her significant contributions to the music industry. In 2001, she was a Rhythm and Blues Foundation Inductee. Two decades later, in 2021, she was awarded with Lifetime Achievement & Legacy Awards by the Women Songwriters Hall of Fame, which she called the “honor of a lifetime.”

Joe Burrow's Net Worth in 2026: Making Benjamins With the Bengals!

Wed, 09/09/2026 - 6:00am

Joe Burrow’s net worth in 2026 is staggering—and it keeps climbing. The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback isn’t shy about discussing finances, and in February 2025, he offered his own team management some advice on how his contract might be adjusted to create space for the desired salaries of wide receivers, all while adhering to the NFL salary cap rules.

“You could convert some of the money to a signing bonus, which will lower the cap hit,” Burrow said on the Pardon My Take podcast. “You can push some of the money to the back end of the contract. That lowers the cap hit. And then when you get to the back end of the contract, you can restructure it and convert it to a signing bonus. You can also just take less money.”

He also offered practical advice to high school football players trying to decide where to play in college.

“If you’re going to be able to make seven figures in college, you gotta go take advantage of that,” he urged on The Dan Patrick Show. “If you’re in high school and you’re getting offered that, go wherever they are paying you the most.”

Burrow has pretty much always had his mind on his money and his money on his mind—and it’s served him very well. Find out Joe Burrow’s net worth in 2026, how much he makes in endorsements, what his NFL salary is and more.

Jimmy Kimmel Roasts Guillermo Rodriguez Ahead of ‘DWTS’ Premiere: ‘You’ve Gained Weight’

Wed, 09/09/2026 - 5:46am

Jimmy Kimmel wasted no time roasting Guillermo Rodriguez as his longtime sidekick prepares to trade the late-night desk for the Dancing With the Stars ballroom.

During Kimmel’s first show back from summer vacation, Guillermo revealed he has been rehearsing three hours a day, five days a week with his professional partner, Whitney Carson. But instead of shedding pounds from all that dancing, Guillermo admitted he has actually gained 10 pounds—prompting Kimmel to marvel at what he called the impossible.

When Kimmel asked Guillermo how DWTS training was going, he replied, “It’s going good, Jimmy. It’s a lot of work. My body hurt, but I think I’m going to be doing this.” Guillermo said he has been training five days a week for about three hours a day.

But had all that dancing helped Guillermo lose any weight?

“Unfortunately not,” he admitted.

“How is this possible?” Kimmel laughed. “You know, usually typically the contestants will lose weight dancing three hours a day, five days a week!”

Guillermo had the perfect response. “After the practice, I go eat right away. I’m so hungry!” he exclaimed.

That’s when Guillermo revealed that he had actually gained 10 pounds during his training. But in typical Kimmel fashion, the late-night host turned the admission into a good-natured roast while praising his longtime sidekick’s efforts.

“You know what? You’re achieving the impossible, Guillermo,” Kimmel said. “Don’t get too skinny. I like this. I like the way you are. And also, don’t become one of those mean dancers like the ones in the Beat It video.”

Guillermo will officially take the ballroom floor when Dancing With the Stars returns for its new season. He will compete alongside Carson, a returning pro and reigning champion, as he attempts to trade his role behind Kimmel’s desk for a shot at the Mirrorball Trophy.

Season 35 of Dancing With the Stars kicks off with a two-night premiere event on Tuesday, September 15, and Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at 8 p.m. ET.

1974 Soft Rock Hit, Inspired by ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ Came After Songwriter Begged Band Not to Record It

Wed, 09/09/2026 - 5:38am

In the 1970s, the band America became known for a string of memorable soft rock hits. But one of the group’s biggest songs had an unusual origin: not only did it take inspiration from one of the most beloved movies of all time, but it was written by a band member who was so unsure about it that he reportedly begged the group not to record it.

Fifty-two years later, “Tin Man” is remembered as one of America’s signature songs.

Written by Dewey Bunnell, the song features a blend of acoustic guitars and breezy folk-rock harmonies as it draws whimsical inspiration from The Wizard of Oz character the Tin Woodman. With the line “Well Oz never did give nothin’ to the Tin Man That he didn’t, didn’t already have,” the song’s chorus suggests that the Tin Man already possessed what he was searching for.

The song, from the album Holiday, reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1974—but it was almost stopped by Bunnell himself.

In the book An American Band: The America Story, America co-founder Dan Peek described the song as “quintessential Dewey – easy stream of consciousness with a major seventh acoustic bed.” But he also claimed that Bunnell actually begged the band not to record the song, according to Rhino.com.

“Knowing Dewey, it was probably reverse psychology,” Peek wrote. “If it was, Gerry [Beckley] and I fell for it, insisting it was perfect for the album.”

Bunnell opened up about “Tin Man” many times over the years, and it certainly seemed he wrote the song with the intention of recording it.

In 2017, Bunnell told Songwriter Universe that The Wizard of Oz was his favorite movie of all time and that it inspired him.

“It embedded itself in my psyche as a young kid, and I just can’t ever shake that,” he said. “It was an inspiring film, and of course it had all the messages…that we all have our brain and our heart and our courage if we look inside, …’Tin Man’ was really the first song we did with (legendary Beatles producer) George Martin. So it has a special place in our history.”

In an interview posted by American Songwriter, Bunnell further explained that “Tin Man” was “manufactured from the chunks of thoughts and themes” that he was putting together into “a kind of mosaic.”

“It wasn’t a common thread,” he shared.

“I originally wanted to write a cohesive dialogue about The Wizard of Oz, which I loved,” he added. “By the time I was writing this, which was for the fourth album, I was working harder on the lyrics, I was trying. It became more of ‘Hey, I’m a songsmith now. I’m supposed to be writing.’”

Decades after penning “Tin Man,” Bunnell hasn’t tired of performing it live. In 2021, he told Glide magazine, “I love recording, and we’ve done it a lot -especially during those concentrations of years in the 70’s – but with the live show, you’re really connecting, living, and breathing the songs.”

“So many people say to me, ‘How do you go out there and sing ‘Horse with No Name’ every night, or ‘Tin Man’ or whatever,” the America singer added. “And I never do wary of it. I do like getting up there. Some people liken it to re-painting the ‘Mona Lisa’ every night.”

1972 Folk Song, Covered by Elvis Presley, Is Still a Powerful Hit 54 Years Later

Wed, 09/09/2026 - 5:30am

Danny O’Keefe had already put “Good Time Charlie’s Got the Blues” on an album when producer Arif Mardin helped him record it again. Both believed the song could be a hit. O’Keefe thought the earlier arrangement, which included flute and congas, hadn’t done it justice.

Their next attempt appeared on the 1972 album O’Keefe and became a Top 10 hit. Elvis Presley would soon record his own version.

For the new recording, O’Keefe worked with Mardin at American Studios in Memphis. The musicians developed their parts by playing together, with O’Keefe running through the song for them. He later credited Mardin with tightening the arrangement.

“He knew how to get it compact enough that it was right,” O’Keefe told Puremusic.

The song follows a man whose friends are leaving town. He understands why they want to go and admits that staying hasn’t done him much good. At 33, he’s worried about losing his wife and wasting more of his life.

O’Keefe gives the narrator a wish to settle down without much confidence that he’ll manage it. By the last verse, he’s still talking about everyone leaving. That lack of an answer makes the song uncomfortable even 54 years later. Charlie knows what’s wrong; deciding what to do about it is harder.

Presley recorded “Good Time Charlie’s Got the Blues” at Stax Studios in Memphis on Dec. 13, 1973. Guitarist James Burton and bassist Norbert Putnam played on the session, along with drummer Ronnie Tutt. The recording appeared on Good Times, released March 20, 1974.

O’Keefe named Waylon Jennings’ recording as his favorite version in his Puremusic interview. He liked that Jennings had made it sound like one of his own records.

After a caller alerted him to Jennings performing the song on television, O’Keefe watched and decided to thank him in person. He later went to one of Jennings’ shows in Los Angeles. The two became friends, though O’Keefe recalled wishing he’d seen more of him afterward.

'Sister Wives' Star Confirms Season 21 Release, Teases 'Secrets' Are Ahead

Wed, 09/09/2026 - 5:20am

Sister Wives fans waiting for the Brown family’s next chapter won’t have to hold their breath much longer.

Christine Brown Woolley has officially confirmed that Season 21 is headed back to TLC in a new Instagram post. While she’s legally bound from dropping full spoilers just yet, she isn’t holding back on the hype.

Taking to social media to tease that hidden family drama is about to be unlocked, Christine promised loyal viewers that the upcoming episodes hold “a lot of secrets.” She added that fans will be “pretty dang surprised” this season.

She also revealed that the latest season will debut this fall. However, she didn’t reveal the series’ official release date.

Fans quickly flooded the comments section of the reality star’s post to weigh in on the tease, with many openly sharing their hopes and expectations for the new season. They’re looking for total transparency and have shared their anticipation for individual storylines. However, loyal viewers made it clear they are most ready for the show to finally address deep-rooted family issues.

“Omg, please let there be more to this season than 100 episodes of Kody Brown traipsing around the country to ‘apologize’ to himself for not being a worse husband [like he did with Meri Brown],” wrote one follower.

A second fan penned, “I think the show has run its course. As much as I’ve loved this show throughout the years, I always loved watching the family. It’s not a family anymore—no one films together; it’s just a bunch of individual confessionals. Even the ‘Tell All’ is not filmed together.”

“’ll keep watching, but I’m BEGGING TLC to stop with the overlapped scenes. 90% is repetitive clips back-to-back, and 10% is new content. Do better,” declared a third viewer.

“More Janelle Brown content, please,” wrote a fourth Instagram user.

A final fan shared their wish for the new season. “I watched all the seasons and all the episodes, but seriously, why don’t you all just quietly go on with your lives or, at the very least, come up with a new spin-off? Plus, I DO NOT want to see Kody’s face on TV anymore, or Robyn [Brown], for that matter. Do not give that man any more airtime.”

While an unconfirmed Reddit post alleged that HBO Max announced an October 5 premiere date for the new season, network representatives have not officially verified the timeline.

Why You Need to Book Thanksgiving and Christmas Flights This Week, According to the Points Guy (Exclusive)

Wed, 09/09/2026 - 5:10am

If your holiday game plan is to wait until mid-October to browse for Thanksgiving and Christmas flights, consider that strategy officially grounded.

Conventional travel wisdom usually tells domestic flyers to hold off until one to two months before takeoff to capture the best flight deals. But this year, the industry’s most trusted flight analysts are throwing out the traditional rulebook entirely.

“Normally at The Points Guy, we tell folks to book domestic trips 1-2 months ahead of time and international trips 3-6 months, but we are throwing out that advice this year and telling people to book holiday flights now,” says Clint Henderson, managing editor at The Points Guy. “Already prices are 9-18% higher year over year for the holidays and we expect prices will go up further from here.”

His urgent takeaway for anyone hoping to make it home for the holidays without emptying their savings account? “Lock in prices now and monitor the flights. If you see the price drop, you can get a trip credit for the price difference (as long as you don’t book basic economy).”

Here’s the three-part playbook to beating the holiday airfare crunch, unlocking sneaky price-drop credits, and protecting your sanity before takeoff.

The One Key Move—Book Main Cabin Now, Claw Back Credits Later

The biggest mistake travelers make in a high-fare year is holding out hope for a sudden late-autumn fire sale. Instead of gambling on last-minute dips, secure your seat today—just make sure you skip basic economy so you retain complete flexibility. Because major U.S. carriers have eliminated change fees on standard main cabin fares, a future price drop works in your favor rather than locking you in at the higher rate.

You do not even need to spend your weekends refreshing booking engines to catch those savings. Henderson notes that automated monitoring tools can do the heavy lifting in the background. “There are even new tools like Autopilot, Junova or Paiback that will monitor your reservations for you (for a small fee) and get trip credits on your behalf,” Henderson reveals. “I’ve saved almost $1,000 this year this way! That said, if you see a deal now jump on it!”

If cash rates for your route are already giving you sticker shock, Henderson suggests taking advantage of bundled savings or tapping into your loyalty balances. “Vacation packages can save you up to 40% by combining flights and hotels,” he explains, noting that he frequently turns to American Airlines Vacations to capture package savings.

When it comes to redeeming miles, Henderson emphasizes that strategic flexibility makes all the difference. “My best advice for finding award deals holds true no matter what time of year. Add flexibility to the equation. Go where you find the deals whether that’s destination or dates,” he says. “Can you go to a secondary city? Bordeaux instead of Paris? Find the flights first. Use award search tools like Seats.aero to find the cheapest redemptions and follow the deals.”

What to Do If Your Holiday Travel Goes Sideways

Severe winter storms and packed terminals are practically a holiday tradition, and when operations collapse, wandering into a multi-hour customer service queue is the fastest way to get stranded.

“My best advice to avoid headaches, is to have a plan B in mind,” Henderson advises. “If things start to go sideways with your travel or the weather, it’s always good to have researched a backup plan just in case. Know what other airline fly the route you are on. Sometimes, if an airline is having issues, they will put you on a different airline’s flight. They don’t like doing this, but they will sometimes. It’s also why I keep a stash of points and miles so I can potentially book myself if things go really wrong.”

Speed is everything when a flight is scrubbed, which is why Henderson advocates a multi-channel attack. “If your flight gets cancelled, get on the customer service line, ping them on social media and call at the same time,” he stresses. “You want to be the first to get booked on the next available flight. Remember there is a plane full of people competing for limited available seats on alternate flights.”

If domestic phone lines are overwhelmed, Henderson recommends looking up the carrier’s overseas customer service phone numbers to bypass domestic call centers entirely. When delays drag on and rebooking options dwindle, knowing when to call it is just as vital. “If things are really bad, I would cut bait and get on the first flight out the next day,” Henderson says. “If you are having trouble getting ahold of customer service, try the airline’s social media account. I’ve had good luck with the American Airlines team on ‘X,’ for example. I follow the airlines on social media and have the airline app too so you can potentially rebook yourself and watch for additional seats to open up during irregular operations. Keep checking.”

Airport Quirks, Luggage Rules, and Card Protections

Navigating packed holiday airports also means understanding the quirks of major hubs and setting realistic expectations around your passenger rights. For high-volume destinations like Seattle and Orlando, travelers can bypass standard terminal logjams by taking advantage of free reservation systems. Orlando International Airport offers family screening lanes and allows passengers to reserve dedicated screening appointments up to seven days ahead, while Seattle-Tacoma International Airport runs a similar complimentary service through its SEA Spot Saver program.

Baggage mishandling is another classic holiday hazard, and Henderson cautions travelers against assuming the airline will hand over an open checkbook. “The airline is required to reimburse you for lost luggage up to $4,700 but that doesn’t mean you will get that much,” Henderson clarifies. “You’ll need to prove the value of items in the luggage. Meantime, airlines will give you a small amount to spend on essentials if your baggage is delayed. Keep all your receipts and don’t try spending a bunch and expect to be reimbursed for more than around $150.”

To protect your wallet against unexpected hotel nights or replacement clothing, pay for your reservation with a credit card that carries robust built-in trip delay, interruption, and cancellation coverage. When adverse weather grounds the fleet, airlines are rarely obligated to fund your overnight stay, making the protections on your premium travel card your most valuable travel companion of the season.

Chris Rock's Bold Plea: Why He Urgently Wants One More ‘Madagascar’ Movie

Wed, 09/09/2026 - 5:09am

Chris Rock is ready to bring back one of the most beloved animated films from the 2000s.

The 61-year-old comedian is hoping to return as Marty the Zebra in another Madagascar movie. He spoke about the franchise in a recent interview with Variety

“I played Marty the zebra in Madagascar,” Rock said. “Everybody is really good. It’s probably the biggest movie I’ve ever been in. You know, we did three of them. I pray to God we do one more in a world where they’re rebooting everything.”

The first Madagascar film was released in 2005 by DreamWorks Animation. It was followed by Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa in 2008 and Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted in 2012. The franchise starred Rock, Ben Stiller, David Schwimmer, and Jada Pinkett Smith.

Rock joked that a fourth film would be good for his wallet following his divorce.

“Do you understand I got divorced? I don’t have Madagascar money anymore,” he said. “We only did three. There’s five Ice Ages. Five! Okay? I need another Madagascar. It’s time!” 

Rock married Malaak Compton-Rock in 1996. They separated in 2014 with their divorce being finalized in 2016, 20 years after they wed.

The pair met in 1994 after the stand-up comedian crashed the Essence magazine awards. Compton-Rock was working the event as a publicist at the time, per a 1997 Rolling Stone profile. They have two daughters together, Lola and Zahra.

The former couple reunited after Zahra graduated from University of Southern California in May. Rock and his ex-wife posed in photos shared on Instagram after the ceremony.

“Congratulations, Zahra! Your mom and dad, and your entire family, are so proud of your extraordinary academic achievements,” Compton-Rock wrote in the caption. “Your lifelong love of literature led you to pursue an English degree (Narrative Studies) at the University of Southern California, where you graduated with high honors! Celebrating your accomplishments over these last few days is a memory I will cherish forever.”

1997 No.1 Pop Rock Hit, Recorded by 3 Brothers from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Reimagined 30 Years Later 

Wed, 09/09/2026 - 5:00am

“MMBop” is getting a new life, three decades after it hit airwaves and became one of the defining songs of the ’90s.

Pop rock band Hanson, consisting of three brothers from Tulsa, Oklahoma, just re-recorded the iconic ’90s smash hit, nearly 30 years later.

Taylor Hanson, who was just 12 years old when the song was recorded in 1995, now 43, stepped back into the studio to reimagine the career-defining single for a new brand partnership—officially turning “MMMBop” into “MMMBites.”

According to the press release shared with Parade, “With the original song’s 30th anniversary approaching, Taylor teamed up with King’s Hawaiian for the freshly baked rendition in celebration of the brand’s NEW Soft Swirl Cinnamon Bites – giving the longtime feel-good anthem a playful new life while celebrating a snack designed to make everyday moments a little better.”

As part of the collaboration, Hanson stars in a series of humorous spots (like the one below) showing “how King’s Hawaiian Bites make life’s less-than-perfect moments a little better – from Monday mornings to middle seats – naturally culminating in an “MMMBites” singalong.”

The new Soft Swirl Cinnamon Bites will make their debut starting Sept. 9 at major grocery retailers nationwide and will surely have you saying MMM…bop!

“MMMBop has been stuck in people’s heads as a feel-good bop for decades, and while we’ve had opportunities to reinvent it over the years, none ever felt quite right until now,” Taylor said, via press release. “We thought this was the right opportunity to give it a fresh twist with MMMBites as a fun way to celebrate a snack that’s all about bringing a little more joy to everyday life,” he continued, adding, “Hopefully people will find themselves singing – and snacking – along.”

Meanwhile, the song, the lead single from their debut album Middle of Nowhere, turns 30 on April 15, 2027.

In addition to Taylor, the signature tune included his brothers, Isaac and Zac Hanson, turning them into global pop-rock sensations almost overnight.

The major-label album, which was released a month after the single on May 6, 1997, quickly shot to No. 1 in several countries like the UK, Australia and Germany, though it peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200, blocked from reaching the top spot by pop superstars, the Spice Girls.

According to U Discover Music, “MMMBop” sold 1.5 million copies in the US and over 750,000 in the UK. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts in 21 days, from its debut at the beginning of May 1997 to its peak position on May 24th.

 “MMMBop” was a catchy earworm with an infectious chorus that became one of the defining pop hits of the late 1990s, despite getting rejected by every record company before Mercury turned it into a smash hit..

Issac, now 45, previously told The Guardian that they listened to a lot of rock and roll growing up, along with a “lot of doo-wop,” which influenced the chorus.

“We recorded it in a one-car garage, put it on an independent album and sold several thousand copies at local gigs,” he said.

Now, nearly three decades later, whenever the tune plays anywhere—including a King’s Hawaiian commercial—we can’t help but be forced to sing along.

As for Taylor, 2026 is his year, as the MMMBites release comes on the heels that he’s been cast as a contestant on the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars. He will join the popular ABC competition show’s 35th season, partnered with professional dancer Britt Stewart.

Sosie Bacon, the daughter of legendary actors Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, is an absolute red carpet stunner.

Kevin Bacon is best known for iconic films like DinerFootlooseApollo 13, and Mystic River. Sedgwick worked her way into our hearts in the ’90s classic Singles, and earned acclaim for her role on The Closer. But it’s their daughter, Sosie, 34, who just hit the red carpet. The brunette beauty attended the Company screening during the 83rd Venice International Film Festival at Sala Grande in Venice, Italy, and showed off some of her rising star power.

Sosie Loves to Hang Out With Her Parents

Earlier this summer, we spotted Sosie in a fun new Instagram video alongside her dad. Sedgwick yelled out a first name, and Kevin and his daughter had to answer with a last name of a popular person. While Sosie has dark hair, the striking resemblance to both her parents is visible on her stunning face.

Check out the hilarious video below, in which Kevin and his daughter shout out the names of famous people. From her smile to her eyes, you can see traces of Sosie’s parents.

View this post on Instagram What Have Kyra Sedgwick and Kevin Bacon Said About Working With Their Children?

While working with family can be a tricky business, Kyra Sedgwick said things went smoothly on the set of Family Movie, in which she stars alongside her husband, daughter Sosie, and son, Travis.

“When you’re dealing with actors, you know, that you’re directing that aren’t your children, you’re not like going, ‘How’s their day? Are they okay?’ or ‘Can I help them with this thing?’ And I think it was really hard to separate that at times,” Kyra told Entertainment Weekly. “But I just kept trying to remind myself … I was just utterly impressed with their ability to have stuff going on in their lives and their ability to just show up on set and, like, that stays at home.”

Bacon echoed his wife, telling the publication there was a lot of “pride” to work with his kids.

“They both have an incredibly strong work ethic, a very strong concern and empathy for people and their jobs, and respect amongst crews,” he said. “So that always just makes you feel good.”

1985 One-Hit Wonder, Known as the 'Ferris Bueller Song,' Turned Into a Multi-Million Dollar Fortune

Wed, 09/09/2026 - 4:56am

Some songs are so inextricably linked to certain movies that it’s impossible to think of one without the other coming to mind. A perfect example, of course, would be the 1985 hit “Oh Yeah” by the Swiss duo Yello, featured in the classic box office smash Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.

Over 40 years later, the song still serves as pop culture shorthand for the ’80s in general; it’s been included in countless movies, TV shows and commercials over the years. And even if it was Yello’s only big hit, the song managed to make one of the band’s members extremely wealthy in the long run.

As music journalist Jonathan Bernstein wrote in Pretty in Pink: The Golden Age of Teenage Movies, “Oh Yeah” “became synonymous with avarice and lust. Every time a movie, TV show or commercial wants to underline the jaw-dropping impact of a hot babe or sleek auto, that synth-drum starts popping and that deep voice rumbles, ‘Oh yeah…'”

The ubiquitous nature of “Oh Yeah” translated to plenty of royalties for the members of Yello, Dieter Meier and Boris Blank. Meier turned those earnings into a massive investing fortune, according to the Wall Street Journal, valued at approximately $175 million in 2017. Among Meier’s diverse investments are stakes in Swiss railway company Orell Füssli AG, currency and watchmaking companies, a farm and grazing land in Argentina, restaurants and patents.

Not bad for a song that barely has any words. Interestingly enough, it was Blank’s plan to keep the lyrics simple all along.

“First I did the music and then I invited Dieter to sing along, and he came up with some lines which I thought, ‘no Dieter, it’s too complicated, we don’t need that many lyrics,'” Blank explained in the book Yello: Stella: The Story Behind the Album by Jonas Warstad.

“I had the idea of just this guy, a fat little monster sits there very relaxed and says, ‘Oh yeah, oh yeah,'” Blank continued.

“So I told him, ‘Why don’t you try just to sing on and on oh yeah?…Dieter was very angry when I told him this and he said, ‘Are you crazy, all the time oh yeah? Are you crazy?! I can’t do this, no no, come on, come on.’ And then he said some lyrics, like ‘The moon…beautiful, is this too much?!’ and I said, ‘No, it’s OK,’ and then he did this ‘oh yeah’ and at the end he thought, ‘Yeah it’s nice’, he loved it himself also. And also, I wanted to install lots of human noises, all kind of phonetic rhythms with my mouth; you hear lots of noises in the background which are done with my mouth.”

The unusual, and unusually catchy, song made such an impact that it inspired a documentary. Fittingly titled Oh Yeah!, the film debuted at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2025.

“I am fascinated by the impact and longevity of this special song and what that says about our culture,” said director Nick Canfield, per Deadline. “A specific examination, like one song, can be the best way to reveal something larger about our society. I also found Boris Blank and Dieter Meier of Yello to be a wonderfully interesting and hilarious duo, as well as truly singular artists whose story really needs to be told to a wider audience.”

In the words of Meier and Blank…oh yeah.

2002 Leonardo DiCaprio Movie, With a 96% Rotten Tomatoes Score, Named One of the Best Movies of All Time

Wed, 09/09/2026 - 4:00am

There are some movies we enjoy watching over and over again, and Catch Me If You Can is certainly one of them. It’s no wonder it’s ranked as one of the best movies of all time.

Rated 96% on Rotten Tomatoes, it’s not surprising to see the Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks movie sitting on the site’s best movies of all time. It comes in at No. 236, but at least it makes it, which is more than can be said for the 1999 Tom Hanks movie The Green Mile. It makes it higher up on the IMDb best movies list, sitting at No. 173.

The movie itself is based on a true story: the story of Frank Abagnale, played by DiCaprio. As a teenager, Abagnale turned to petty theft and fraud, and that grew considerably over the years, eventually leading to his arrest. The con man shared that the 2002 Steven Spielberg movie was about 80% accurate compared to his autobiography, and there are debates over some of the stories that have been told over the years.

In fact, it was one particular moment from Abagnale’s tale that made Spielberg realize he needed to make the movie. He shared in a 2003 interview that, “Getting out of the Miami International Airport with 120 FBI agents scouring that one venue–that was the straw that broke the camel’s back. And when I read that I said ˜Aw. Man if that’s true, I gotta make this picture.”

The con man does make an appearance in the movie, though. He’s actually the arresting officer in Montrichard, France. It makes sense since the story is about his life — not only how he got away with the fraud for so long, but also how he was eventually caught and would go on to help the FBI catch others.

In the end, Catch Me If You Can, which features Ellen Pompeo before her Grey’s Anatomy debut, did better with critics than with the audience. The audience rating sits at 89%, which is still respectable for a movie that is a lot of fun. It did nearly ruin a career, though, with Amy Adams not landing a role for a year after this 2002 release — much to Spielberg’s surprise. She even nearly quit acting because of it, until she landed Junebug in 2005.

The great news is that you can watch the movie about an FBI agent tirelessly tracking down a young fugitive across the world — and yes, filming involved moving to different locations — for free. Catch Me If You Can is available to stream on Tubi, as well as being available on Paramount+ with a subscription.

Casey Affleck’s Handsome Son Indiana, 22, Steps Into the Spotlight Alongside His Famous Dad

Wed, 09/09/2026 - 4:00am

Indiana Affleck, the son of Casey Affleck and Summer Phoenix, has inherited his parents’ red carpet looks.

Casey, 51, rose to stardom in Good Will Hunting alongside his big brother Ben Affleck and close friend Matt Damon. He later showed off his own talent in films like The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and Gone Baby Gone. But it was his Academy Award-winning role in 2016’s Manchester by the Sea that skyrocketed him to prominence, and now he’s tackling directing. However, it was his handsome son Indiana, 22, who made a splash at the Company photocall during the 83rd Venice International Film Festival at Palazzo del Casino this week in Venice, Italy. With flowing hair tucked behind his ears, the handsome son of Casey and his ex-wife, Summer Phoenix, made it clear he has plenty of movie star genes in him.

Affleck had nothing but good things to say about working with both his sons in Company, and called it one of the “best professional experiences” of his life.

“I think they grew up around it and had some interest in it and a sort of innate understanding of what it was,” Affleck told PEOPLE. “Like I did, my dad worked in the theater for many years. And so it’s passed down, I suppose, which is a really nice thing. And they were willing to be a part of this.”

1966 Folk Masterpiece, Ranked One of Bob Dylan's Best Songs, Was Reimagined by Carly Simon

Wed, 09/09/2026 - 3:49am

An overwhelming number of artists have lent their voices to some of Bob Dylan‘s most beloved songs, and Carly Simon is one of them.

The “You’re So Vain” songstress once recorded her own version of the ’60s folk track, “Just Like a Woman,” which is regarded as one of the most poignant and defining songs of Dylan’s career. It was featured on the folk icon’s legendary Blonde on Blonde album in 1966, and worked its way up to No. 33 on the Billboard Hot 100 by October 1966 of that year.

Simon delivered a stunningly smooth rendition of the Dylan staple in 2012, as part of the charity album Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International. The compilation album features 76 covers of Dylan songs from various artists, like Johnny Cash and Miley Cyrus, who recorded their own versions of “One Too Many Mornings” and “You’re Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go,” respectively.

“Just Like a Woman” has long been a source of debate, with some listeners criticizing the song’s lyrics as sexist — but that hasn’t stopped the song from being regarded as some of Dylan’s best work, with Rolling Stone ranking it as the No. 4 greatest song from his entire catalog.

As for Simon’s rendition, she puts her distinctive vocals at the forefront, giving Dylan’s lyrics a more intimate feel — but she is hardly the first artist to put her spin on the song.

“Just Like a Woman,” has been reimagined by other notable artists a number of times, like Jeff Buckley‘s 1993 cover (which was ranked as one of the Greatest Bob Dylan Covers of All Time by Rolling Stone Australia). Other artists with their own famous versions of the Dylan masterpiece include Nina Simone, Richie Havens, Stevie Nicks and Rod Stewart, to name a few.
