The Transportation Shift Nobody Expected Is Happening Right Now in These Major Cities
“The end of Spirit Airlines is the death of affordable travel,” declared a thread on the r/povertyfinance subReddit, after the budget carrier abruptly laid off 17,000 employees and grounded its flights in May of 2026. And while several users noted that other low-cost carriers like Frontier and Allegiant are still flying, the end of Spirit Airlines marked the end of an era for the industry.
After President Carter deregulated the industry in 1978, airlines were free to set their own fares for the first time, and the race among budget carriers to unbundle fares and set bargain prices began. When the former Clippert Trucking Company rebranded itself as charter airline Spirit Airlines in 1992, budget carriers like Southwest were booming. That spelled trouble for on-the-ground alternatives like Trailways and Greyhound, which had long provided cheap intercity connections.
The COVID-19 pandemic was brutal for the entire travel industry, but particularly for budget carriers with slimmer margins than most. Spirit had been struggling financially for years before a sudden spike in fuel prices at the onset of the U.S.-Iran War contributed to the low-cost carrier’s final declaration of bankruptcy. Now it seems that the best replacement for the “Greyhound of the Skies” is, well, the Greyhound of the ground.
Why The Inter-City Bus Market Is GrowingDePaul University's Chaddick Institute’s annual review of bus travel in the United States found that, despite the 2025 bankruptcy of Megabus parent Coach USA, the bus market looks bullish. Researchers predicted a 4% increase in bus ridership last year—almost double the projected growth of domestic air and auto travel. But the infrastructure needed to support that intercity growth needs a bit of an update, even in major metro areas that have a strong history of transit ridership.
In 2024, the Institute noted that Chicago was about to become the largest city in North America without an intercity bus terminal– something that would have been unthinkable for the 40 years that Greyhound was headquartered in the Windy City. That’s about to change. The City of Chicago is poised to buy its Greyhound bus terminal from Twenty Lake Holdings, which has been leasing the facility month-to-month to Greyhound’s parent company, Flix.

In Philadelphia, the City Center bus station has just reopened for the first time since 2023 following a $4 million renovation, and in anticipation of an influx of travel for the FIFA World Cup this year. Rather than buying the Filbert Street property, the Philadelphia Parking Authority leased the space from the New York-based investment group that previously rented the building to Flix. After Greyhound left the station three years ago, several redevelopment possibilities were considered, including a scuttled project involving the Philadelphia 76ers basketball team.
That’s been a trend across the country as valuable downtown bus terminal properties have been snapped up for redevelopment. While Greyhound once retained top architects to design its signature Streamline bus stations coast to coast, it’s been jettisoning stations in major metros in recent years. In 2021, Twenty Lake Holdings bought 33 Greyhound stations from FirstGroup, which owned Greyhound before the Flix acquisition, including the Chicago property it just sold to the city. Two years later, Twenty Lake purchased the Richmond, Virginia, station and continued to lease it to Greyhound until 2025. Today, the site is slated for new mixed-use retail and residences.
In 2020, developers bought the former Denver, Colorado Greyhound terminal from FirstGroup–although the proposed plans for residential, hotel, and office construction remain on hold. In 2024, a local investor purchased the historic Greyhound station in downtown Dallas for nearly 3 million in anticipation of a new convention center development nearby. And in Portland, Oregon, TriMet just announced its intent to purchase the Old Town station in the city’s historic Chinatown district after Greyhound moved to curbside service in 2019.
However, that trend now seems to be reversing as city and regional transit authorities bring riders in off the street. In 2021, the Central Ohio Transit Authority purchased the former Columbus, Ohio, Greyhound station, intending to transform it into a broader transit hub as part of a planned 45% service expansion by 2050. Last year, Dallas opened a brand new Greyhound bus station near Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s Bachman Station for improved connectivity. Now, Chicago and Philadelphia are joining a wave of reinvestment in intercity bus travel, just when budget travelers need it most.
Will Harry and Meghan Finally Secure the 'Money Shot'—A Picture Of Their Children With King Charles?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are making their return to the UK—and they'll be bringing their children.
Prince Archie (7) and Princess Lilibet Diana (5) are set to accompany their parents to the UK in July, marking the first time since in four years that the Sussexes will visit the country as a family.
But will the Duke and Duchess of Sussex secure what the Times refers to as the "ultimate money shot"—a photograph of their children with King Charles?
If the reports are true that the king has agreed to meet with Harry, Meghan, and their children, this will be the first time that he will have seen Archie and Lilibet since the Sussexes visited the UK four years ago for Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.
No photograph of Charles with both of the Sussex grandchildren is known to exist. A photograph of a newborn Archie being introduced to Charles and his great-grandmother the late queen was published shortly after his birth in 2019.
There's also the family portrait taken at Archie's christening, which includes Queen Camilla, Kate Middleton, and Prince William.
Charles has only met his granddaughter Lilibet once, when she came to the UK with her parents in 2022, and we have never seen them photographed together.

Now rumors are swirling that the king might not only meet with his grandchildren, but that he will concede to pose for a picture with them—a picture that might well be released to the public.
The value of such a family portrait cannot be denied, especially when it comes to Meghan's lifestyle brand As ever.
Reports concerning the brand's success or lack thereof are decidedly mixed, and in the meantime the duchess's Netflix show—With Love, Meghan—has been canceled after only two seasons and a holiday special.
A reminder of Meghan's ties to the British royal family could go a long way towards the promotion of her brand.
After all, Archie and Lilibet are sixth and seven in line to the throne respectively. Meghan herself was walked up the aisle by the now-monarch at her wedding to Harry in 2018.
But the question remains as to whether Charles will agree to a photo. And if he does, will it ever be published?
The Times article mentions a rumor that the late queen refused Harry and Meghan's request to have a photographer accompany them to their children's meeting with her back in 2022.
There is no known existing photograph of the queen with both Archie and Lilibet, although that's not to say that none were taken in private.
Related: This Is What Princess Charlotte’s New Title Will Be When Prince William Becomes King
It's possible that Harry and Meghan would not release such a photograph in any case, because of the lengths they go to to conceal their children's faces in pictures they release via Instagram.
However, sooner or later the time will come when the world knows what Archie and Lilibet look like. Perhaps Harry and Meghan will decide to reveal their children's faces on their own terms.
And what better time to do so than the long-awaited reunion with their grandfather, King of the United Kingdom and Supreme Governor of the Church of England?
Amid the tensions between Harry and the rest of the royal family following his and Meghan's 'freedom flight' to Canada and ultimately the US in 2020, followed by the infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey and the publication of Harry's damning memoir Spare, Charles has reportedly offered the Sussexes an "olive branch": accommodation at a royal residence when they visit the UK.
A previous offer to have Harry stay at Buckingham Palace when he visited the UK was turned down by the Duke of Sussex for security reasons. He stayed at a hotel in central London instead.
As for Harry's brother Prince William, it is likely that William will "make himself scarce" when the Sussexes are in town.
Sources close to the Prince of Wales suggest that he may have found Harry's allegations about his behaviour and character—including a story in which he threw Harry to the floor and snapped his favorite necklace—"intolerable."
In a BBC interview last year Harry said, "Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book. Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things.
"But I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight any more.”

No. 1 Country Superstar Announces New Album
Kenny Chesney fans have a new album to anticipate.
The country icon took to Instagram to share the exciting news that his newest album, titled “Silver Sands Marina,” will be arriving this fall, marking his 21st album release to date since he burst onto the scene in the late ‘90s.
“New album “Silver Sands Marina” out September 25th,” he wrote, alongside a shot of the album cover of a dim sky and a lit-up marina.
To get fans even more excited about the release, he also announced that the “title track” is available now. The official music video for the tune will be released on June 26, 2026.
“This album was built with human emotions that make us feel alive,” he expressed, adding, “Cheers to New Music.”
Fans can now pre-save, pre-add, and pre-order the new album ahead of its release.
View this post on InstagramThere was plenty of excitement for the new music in the comment section, as one called it, “The best news!!”
“Ready to have this on repeat 😎,” someone else chimed in, while another noted, “Yesss!!!! Cannot wait!!! 🔥🏴☠️🧡.”
It even earned him a comparison to another music legend, with one comment complimenting, “Also this is giving Jimmy Buffett and I’m all here for it”
While Chesney has long delivered carefree summer anthems perfect for road trips, backyard hangs, and beach days, his new track ushers in a breezier, more reflective fall vibe, serving as a reminder to slow down and soak up all the moments—big, small, and unplanned
“It is such a well-written song,” Chesney said, per CountryNow. “You can smell the fall in the air, the lake and that solitude. Everyone’s so busy rushing, you miss most of the small details – and everything that happens around them. But in ‘Silver Sands Marina,’ not only do the details hold the song in place, they remind you that the magic happens in the simplest, realest places: you just have to be open to letting it happen.”
In May, Chesney, who has over 20 No. 1 hits on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart and is consistently one of country radio's top artists, was given the title of the No. 1 Country Artistof the 21st Century by Billboard.

He's also had an incredibly busy year, as he's currently wrapping up his exclusive summer residency at the Sphere in Vegas, with the 11-date run going from June 19 through July 11, as fans are treated to immersive details along with the greatest hits and some deep cuts.
“It's the most immersive experience. People that have been listening to my music for a long time come to Sphere, and they're going to experience the same songs in a completely different state of consciousness. It is unbelievable,” the five-time CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year revealed of what it’s like to headline at the Sphere, per Holler Country.
The Internet Is Having a Field Day After Elon Musk Lost Trillionaire Status, ‘We Should Start a GoFundMe’
On June 12, Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire. The SpaceX IPO catapulted his net worth, putting him well above billionaires like Google’s Larry Page and Amazon’s Jeff Bezos.
But sadly, all good things come to an end. After SpaceX’s stock took a dip on Tuesday, June 23, the trillionaire (scratch that, billionaire) is now only worth $975 billion (as of Wednesday morning), according toForbes. And the average American still only earns just over $69,800 a year, according to the U.S. Social Security Administration.
While no one is shedding a tear for Musk, social media lit up with thoughts on the news. In a recent Reddit post, one user joked, “Guys, I think I’m responsible. I just canceled my subscription to Starlink,” while others said, “ Now he is one of us. I also have no trillionaire status,” and a cheeky, “This is truly sad news, how will he cope?”
Others posted their views on Musk’s sudden slide, “Let’s just keep calling him a trillionaire so that he doesn’t do something stupid to our world trying to regain his status,” and, “IMO, he was never a trillionaire. If you can’t be taxed on stocks you own because they are ‘unrealized gains,’ you can’t claim it’s real money when you go to counting your gold doubloons.”
Some social media users had a few sarcastic suggestions to help Musk regain his status: “I think we should start a GoFundMe to help him out. Poor guy,” and “We have to help him! How can we send him all our money?”
Back in March, Musk shared his views on the future of the world economy, telling Peter Diamandis, “I do think we’ll have universal high income. We’re basically just issuing money to people, you know, and they are really just, because the output of goods and services will so far exceed the money supply that we effectively have deflation.”
He continued, “Basically, AI and robots are going to make so much stuff and provide so many services that they will actually run out of things to do for the humans.”
In what was the soundbite of the interview, Musk added, “I think money will stop being relevant at some point in the future.”
Forbesreposted the clip on June 13 (the day after Musk reached trillionaire status), and people had plenty to say. One commenter wrote, “Then why you got so much of it?” as another noted, “Says the man who has it.”
View this post on InstagramOf course, no one is really concerned that Musk’s sudden loss will have much of an effect on the man who still holds the top spot as the wealthiest person on the planet!

For those out of the loop, Aldi's Blind Box is a limited-time promotion that offers free, curated boxes of mystery grocery items delivered directly to your door. Think of it like a subscription-style grocery haul, only free and from Aldi. These mystery bundles feature a mix of fan-favorite items, everyday staples and trending products alike.

Mystery boxes are extremely popular in countries like Japan, where they're very common in restaurants, retail stores, convenience stores and beyond. Now, as the trend continues to grow in the United States, it only makes sense that the excitement would translate, as it taps into the simple thrill of not knowing what you're going to get until you open it.
That appeal exponentially fuels demand. And if you're trying to secure an Aldi Blind Box of your own, it's in your best interest to act fast. After the first drop on Monday, boxes sold out within minutes, with some fans reporting queues of up to 40 minutes before being notified that they had missed out on the box entirely.

Financial Experts Say Most Retirees Forget to Plan for This One Major Expense—and It Can Cost Tens of Thousands
As people prepare for retirement, they often meet with experts to make sure that they have done everything they need to before leaving the workforce. And while this process usually involves a lot of financial planning, investing, and careful consideration about long-term goals, the experts we spoke with say there's one thing that many retirees forget to do during this process.
According to them, there's one large expense that many adults over 60 fail to consider when planning for their golden years, and the experts we spoke with say it can cost you $172,500 if you're not careful.
Most Retirees Make the Same Costly Assumption About MedicareWhile many seniors are very tuned in to how much money they will need for their everyday expenses as they head into retirement, Jeffrey Corliss, CFP®, ChFC®, CLU®, CASL®, managing director, Hightower Signature Wealth, says that people often forget to factor their healthcare costs into their planning.
"Retirees often underestimate the cost [of] expenses in three areas—pre-Medicare coverage, ongoing healthcare costs, and long-term care—but the most common misconception is the scope of Medicare coverage," he says. "Many people assume Medicare will cover most, if not all, of their healthcare expenses, including long-term care. In reality, Medicare provides only partial coverage and does not cover most long-term care needs."
Another thing they often get wrong? The assumption that their health insurance coverage will remain the same. "When someone retires or loses employer-sponsored benefits, their healthcare coverage can change significantly," Corliss says. "For example, continuing coverage through COBRA (editor's note: this allows people to pay for their own coverage through their employer's plan after their employment is terminated) can be expensive, and individual insurance policies may come at a higher cost or with different benefits."
The Expense That Catches Most Retirees Completely Off GuardWhile Lily Vittayarukskul, CEO and Co-Founder at Waterlily, says that many people underestimate healthcare costs, long-term care seems to be the one thing that throws retirees for a loop.
"Many families still assume it will be covered by Medicare, handled by Medicaid, or absorbed by family members," she says. "That is where the largest planning gap tends to be."
That's because Vittayarukskul says that long-term care is not just a medical expense. "It is a multi-year labor, housing, family, and cash-flow expense," she says. "It can involve help with bathing, dressing, meals, transportation, home care, assisted living or nursing home care."
When people leave it out of the plan, Vittayarukskul says they are not just underestimating a bill, they are underestimating who will provide the care, who will coordinate it, and whose career, savings or retirement may be disrupted.
The Numbers That Should Make Every Pre-Retiree Pay AttentionWhen it comes to the price you'll pay for overlooking these expenses, Vittayarukskul says it can add up. "For people retiring before Medicare eligibility, the pre-65 healthcare bridge can easily become a five-figure annual expense, especially if someone loses employer-subsidized coverage and has to pay for COBRA or individual market coverage," she says, adding that the risk is not only the monthly premium, but also deductibles, coinsurance, and the possibility of reaching an annual out-of-pocket maximum.
"Once someone is on Medicare, healthcare is still not free," Vittayarukskul says. "Fidelity’s 2025 retiree healthcare estimate found that a 65-year-old retiring in 2025 may need about $172,500 for healthcare and medical expenses throughout retirement, and that estimate does not include long-term care."
Long-term care can be even more financially disruptive, according to Vittayarukskul, because the costs can be high and recurring for years.
"Genworth/CareScout’s 2025 Cost of Care Survey reported national median annual costs of roughly $80,080 for in-home non-medical caregiver services based on 44 hours per week, $74,400 for assisted living, about $114,975 for a semi-private nursing home room, and about $129,575 for a private nursing home room."
What Experts Say You Should Do Right NowWant to ensure you're not blindsided by these costs in retirement? Nick Wolf, Wealth Advisor at Adams Wealth Partners, says a little preparation can go a long way. "The last thing I want for anyone is to wait until they are already retired to meet with a financial advisor, only to find out they need to go back to work because something was left out of their plan," he says. "If someone is eligible, Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) are a great way to accumulate funds pre-tax and take tax-free withdrawals when used for medical expenses—but again, the earlier you start funding these accounts, the better."
Wolf says that it's important to start having these conversations as soon as possible. "As soon as someone begins to seriously think about retirement, it’s time to start a dialogue with a professional to help avoid mistakes that could have been planned for in advance."

'Love Island USA': KC and Corbin Trash Talk the Villa Girls in Casa Amor
Casa Amor is fully in action for Love Island USASeason 8. Relationships are being tested and some islanders are speaking their mind openly.
Corbin Mims was with Kenzie Annis, and KC Chandlerwas with Aniya Harvey before the split villas. Corbin and KC shockingly said things about their former partners that wouldn't play well on movie night. It'll also make their chances of winning the season harder.
Spoiler alert for Love Island USA Season 8 Episode 19!
KC Says the 'Love Island USA' Villa Girls Didn’t Understand His Powers KC Chandler in 'Love Island USA'KC felt a quick physical connection with Tierra "Titi" Davis. They kissed and cuddled after meeting. The nursing assistant revealed that he hasn't forgotten how his couple started.
"With Aniya, we were like, a couple by default, and you know we just talked," KC said in a confessional in episode 18. "But I can't compare apples to oranges, you know?"

Bryce Dettloff told KC as they got ready for bed that he seemed like a different man. "Honestly, I feel like the girls back in the villa, bro they [...] didn't really understand my powers and sh-t," he replied.
The next morning, he told Bryce and Sincere Rhea it would be sabotage if he didn't bring a woman back from Casa Amor. That's because he didn't explore Sol Dean after Aniya got upset.
Corbin Says the Casa Amor Girls Are Better Than the Villa Girls Kenzie Brooke Annis and Corbin Mims in 'Love Island USA'Kenzie was upset about Corbin's actions when he met the Casa Amor girls. She found her photos in a drawer she had left for him in episode 18.
The morning after they slept with the Casa girls, Corbin revealed to Zach Georgiou and Caleb McDaniel how he felt about Kenzie. "Even like with Kenzie, bro, it's like f---k," he said. "I don't know how I feel. I had some red flags that I wanted to bring up to her."

He claimed there wasn't any time to have that conversation. The business owner connected with Parmida Keshani, whom he had previously talked to on Instagram.
"I mean, I told Parmida. I was like, 'Listen, if you were there when I walked into that villa next to Kenzie and you, I would have pulled you for more chats and coupled up with your a--," Corbin told KC in episode 19.
"I feel the same, bro," KC replied. "I could really say the same thing." He then said he was more physically attracted to Titi. "And on top of that, she pursued me, bro," he added.
KC claimed his "stock" went up for when he returns to the villa. He explained he was done being put in a "box" and having kisses withheld if he didn't do what Aniya wanted.
"Not [going to] lie these Casa Amor girls are better than the villa girls," Corbin said in the confessional. "I don't know. It don't feel so cliquey. Everything feel just open and free. Maybe because it's something for us."
The comments might tank the men's chances for the season. Corbin and KC have little to no loyalty to the Casa Amor girls. It seems like they might bring Titi and Parmida back to the villa and they would need to survive a public vote to stay in the villa.
‘Gilmore Girls’ Has a New Streaming Home After It Leaves Netflix
After 12 years, Gilmore Girls is leaving Netflix. It was shocking news to everyone, but it also wasn’t too surprising with Warner Bros. looking to take back a lot of its bigger hits.
While the series is available to stream on Disney+ and Hulu right now, many suspected that it would head to HBO Max in July. After all, it’s a Warner Bros. series, and that’s what happened with Friends when it finally left Netflix.
That’s not the case. Instead, Warner Bros. has struck up a deal with another streaming platform. It turns out that Gilmore Girls will be available on Prime Video from July 1, 2026. There isn’t going to be a break when it comes to rewatching the show, and there’s no need to get Hulu if you don’t already have it. Most people have Prime Video, as they’ll have Amazon Prime for shopping!
You will not need to buy the episodes, either, as is the case right now. The episodes will be available to stream with your Prime Video subscription. This is not the first time Prime Video has landed the rights to the series, as it was available at the end of September 2025, but it’s the first time since Netflix lost those rights.
This is only for the seven seasons of the main series. Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life will remain on Netflix for the time being. That is set to depart the platform in November, and it’s possible that it could go to a bidding war. It would be nice to head to Prime Video if that’s where the series is still available to stream at that point.
The move to Prime Video is on the down low right now. We found out thanks to an insider reaching out. The full July listings for Prime Video haven’t been released to the press just yet, so it’s exciting news to get it so early.
Fans will be able to keep watching Gilmore Girls on Netflix through June 30, and then on July 1 switch over to Prime Video. Hulu looks set to keep the series as well, so this is still a non-exclusive agreement. To watch it on Disney+, you will need to have the Hulu and Disney+ bundle.
This is only in the U.S. Internationally, Gilmore Girls will remain on Netflix for the time being.
Sarah Shahi Declares This ‘90s Icon Her Best On-Screen Kiss
Sarah Shahi has opened up about her favorite on-screen makeout partner.
She appeared on an episode of The Bossticks podcast, and spoke about appearing in the sixth episode of The Sopranos.
Sarah appeared in an episode titled "Kennedy and Heidi," where she played Sonya, a Vegas showgirl Tony has an encounter with.
Asked if she "made out" with the late James Gandolfini in the show, Shahi responded, "Yes, we had a full-on sex scene," and apparently it was good.
"One of the best, I have to say, kisses I’ve ever had," the 46-year-old revealed, but she wasn't sure about the moment going into it.
She added, "I remember thinking to myself, too, like 'How am I going to get turned on by this 47-year-old, large, balding man? Like, there's nothing... How is this going to work for me?' Oh boy, did it work for me."
Her character and Tony Soprano do mushrooms together in the scene, and Gandolfini wanted to incorporate props that would elicit a "reaction" from the stars.
“He’s a very method actor. So, he wanted props," she said. "I think they actually had dehydrated mushrooms and he wanted them to put pepper on them or a lot of spice or just something, so when you put it in your mouth, there’s some kind of a reaction."
The Paradise actress even admitted they kept kissing after the cameras stopped filming. "Then we have to kiss, and when they called cut, we were still kissing," Shahi said. "We did it three, four times and every time, they would call cut and we're still f---ing making out."
Shahi called Gandolfini an "incredible" yet "very troubled man, but the crew loved him."
She told a story about her first day of filming the iconic mafia series, which sadly involved Gandolfini not turning up. "Sorry about today. Don't be nervous 'cause I suck. Love, the fat man."
When he asked if she liked the flowers, she joked: "Next time, send me something I can actually take back with me, like, Jimmy Choo [shoes], size seven," and that is exactly what she found waiting for her in the hotel room.
Sadly, James Gandolfini passed away in 2013, aged 51, after suffering a heart attack.

Reese Witherspoon’s Son Bears an Uncanny Resemblance to Ryan Phillippe at 'Elle' Premiere.
Reese Witherspoon was back on the pink carpet for the premiere of Amazon Prime Video's Elle series. By her side was her son Deacon, 22, who turned heads when appearing to channel his father, Ryan Phillippe, with an old red carpet ensemble.
Deacon wore a matching two-piece black suit, a light pink dress shirt, and a fuchsia tie to bring it all together. He also wore aviator sunglasses as his red carpet accessory. What caught interest was how Deacon's look was a throwback to the very same outfit his father wore to the Legally Blonde premiere in 2001.
Mimicking the same look, Phillippe was photographed at the Legally Blonde premiere wearing a similar black two-piece suit, a white dress shirt, and a reddish-pink tie. The tie happened to match Witherspoon's spaghetti strap dress at the time, with Phillippe also wearing dark aviator sunglasses.

It's safe to say that Deacon arrived at the Elle premiere with an agenda, wanting to bring his own blast from the past as the series is a prequel to his mother's cult classic. Witherspoon also did her part, wearing a custom Monse lace dress with off-the-shoulder puff sleeves.
Phillippe and Witherspoon started dating in 1997 after meeting at her 21st birthday party. They would later star in Cruel Intentions together in 199 and tie the knot that same year. They welcomed Deacon in 2003 and would later announce their separation in 2006. During that time, Phillippe also attended the premiere of Legally Blonde 2.
Elle is the newest series from Prime Video, bringing back Elle Woods in a prequel storyline installment. Lexi Minetree stars in the series as teenage Elle, nine years before the events of the original 2001 film. The series is helmed by Laura Kittrell, with Witherspoon serving as executive producer alongside Marc Platt as producer. The series is scheduled to premiere on July 1, with it having been renewed for a second season.

1977 No. 1 Hit by the Jacksons Remains a Timeless Classic 49 Years Later
With the widely successful release of Michael this year, fans of the "King of Pop" continue to revisit his vast library of music — including his earlier work.
First, there was the Jackson 5 with Michael Jackson included, of course. Then, the beloved group was comprised of just four, and they were known simply as the Jacksons.
And Wednesday, June 24 marks 49 years since one of their catchiest tracks climbed the charts in the U.K. and reached No. 1.
"Show You the Way to Go" was released on March 7, 1977, but the Philadelphia soul song is so infectious that it's still enjoyed all these decades later. Check out a throwback performance by the Jacksons in the YouTube clip below.
Fans are still flooding the YouTube upload's comments section to show their support for the MJ-led track, especially in honor of the chart-topping milestone. "Still Listening JUNE 2026!! 💓🌹💞🌹💞👏👏😍," wrote one user on Wednesday, while another person commented, "I love seeing Michael and his Brothers performing together. The wooly hair and smooth dance moves could NEVER be duplicated. Definitely a 'Peculiar Treasure'! 💎"
Fifteen years after the Jacksons' hit song debuted, Australian singer Dannii Minogue covered "Show You the Way to Go" — but fans of the song will probably forever flock to the original by the Jacksons.
Earlier this month, the Jackson 5 announced new U.K. tour dates for November of this year. Fans in the U.K. will get the chance to celebrate the band’s legacy, with original members Jackie Jackson and Marlon Jackson performing.
The band announced the new dates with a tour poster on Instagram, writing, “I Want You Back. Blame It on the Boogie. Can You Feel It. Live. In concert. This November. It’s going to be special – don’t miss out – get your tickets now!”
View this post on InstagramThe Jacksons have continued touring over the years, and they have a few festival appearances scheduled for July.
Salma Hayek, 59, Stuns With Gray Roots Alongside Her Lookalike Daughter, Valentina, 18
Salma Hayek may be most beautiful when she's standing alongside her lookalike daughter, Valentina.
The acclaimed actress, 59, who has a diverse resume that includes everything from rom-coms like Fools Rush In to groundbreaking films like Frida, has always known how to make a statement on the style front. The gifted actress, who is married to billionaire François-Henri Pinault, 63, stunned in a recent appearance with 18-year-old Valentina at The Serpentine Summer Party 2026 at Serpentine South in London, England. With her black hair showing subtle gray roots, Hayek made it clear that she's aging like a fine wine.

Celebrating Valentina's 18th BirthdayValentine recently turned 18. In a sweet photo carousel that showed the family celebrating the big birthday, Hayek expressed her love for her lookalike daughter on her special day.
“We ate, we danced, we laughed, we loved… and we kept the party going all weekend. Happy birthday mi cielo, celebrating you never feels long enough 🎂💃❤️,” Hayek captioned the post, which was also translated into Spanish.
View this post on Instagram Hayek Is Also a Proud StepmotherHayek previously spoke about her desire to have a big family, and the way it all came together with Pinault, who already had three children, François, Mathilde, and Augustin, when they got together.
“I always wanted to have a lot of children, and I was not able to. My body, as a miracle, had one,” Hayek told Red in 2017. “The huge blessing I’ve had is that my husband has three other children. So, I have four. And they are all so different.”

1977 Rock Song With Zero Chart History Remains a Timeless Anthem 49 Years Later
Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" album gave way to some of the band's biggest hits in rock history, but not all tracks made it to the charts. "The Chain" became a standout track that cemented itself as legendary since its release in 1977.
Every die-hard fan knows that Fleetwood Mac's album was created during serious tension among the members, from deteriorating relationships, divorce, and even affairs. Unlike other tracks in their library, "The Chain" is tagged as the only song credited to the entire band.
While songs like "Go Your Own Way" and "Dreams" dominated the charts, "The Chain" never did. The original track was never released as a single and never entered the Billboard Hot 100, unlike its predecessors. It was not until 1997 that a live version of the song entered No.30 on the Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart.
Believe it or not, the fan-favorite classic was actually created using rejected material from Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, and John McVie. It was originally a Christine McVie song, titled "Keep Me There." Reports claim that they manually splice tapes using a razor blade during the track's creation.
Throughout the creation of "Rumours," the track was set aside and almost didn't make it into the album. The band revisited the song and decided to work in already established parts, such as lyrics Nicks had written for an entirely different song about the breakup of her relationship with Buckingham.
"Originally we had no words to it. And it really only became a song when Stevie wrote some. She walked in one day and said, 'I've written some words that might be good for that thing you were doing in the studio the other day.' So it was put together," said Mick Fleetwood, according to SongFacts.
Buckingham would then recycle an intro from an earlier song, a duet with Nicks titled "Lola (My Love)." Fleetwood detailed how Buckingham was the one who arranged and put the pieces together onto tape before it was recorded. While Nicks has previously taken credit for writing a majority of the song, Buckingham and Fleetwood called it a band effort.
"But it ultimately becomes a band thing anyway, because we all have so much of our own individual style, our own stamp that makes the sound of Fleetwood Mac. So it's not like you feel disconnected from the fact that maybe you haven't written one of the songs. Because what you do, and what you feel when we're all making music together, is what Fleetwood Mac ends up being, and that's the stuff you hear on the albums. Whether one likes it or not, this is, after all, a combined effort from different people playing music together," he said.
NFL Announces Bad Bunny Update 4 Months After Super Bowl
The NFL has shared a major new update involving global music superstar Bad Bunny four months after his historic Super Bowl LX halftime performance.
On Instagram, the league announced the release of exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from the Apple Music Halftime Show, giving fans a closer look at how the production came together.
The newly released footage takes viewers behind the curtain of one of the most talked-about halftime shows in recent memory. The video focuses on the creation of “La Casita,” the centerpiece of Bad Bunny’s performance, and offers fans access to moments that were not seen during the live broadcast.
The update arrives four months after Bad Bunny headlined Super Bowl LX, a performance that generated worldwide headlines and became one of the biggest entertainment events of 2026.

In March, the NFL announced that Bad Bunny had officially made halftime show history.
View this post on InstagramAccording to figures shared by the league and Roc Nation, the performance generated more than 4.1 billion views globally, making it the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show performance in NFL history.
While the game itself averaged 124.9 million viewers across NBC, Peacock, Telemundo, NBC Sports Digital and NFL+, Bad Bunny’s halftime show drew even larger numbers during its broadcast window.
The achievement marked another milestone for the Puerto Rican entertainer, whose halftime appearance sparked widespread conversation throughout the sports and entertainment worlds.
Bad Bunny, born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, was selected as the Super Bowl LX headliner through the NFL’s partnership with Roc Nation, the entertainment company led by Jay-Z. The collaboration has helped the league attract some of the music industry's biggest names over the past several years.
The decision to feature Bad Bunny reflected his enormous global reach and influence. By the time he took the Super Bowl stage, he had already earned multiple Grammy Awards, broken streaming records, and become one of the most successful Latin artists in history.
Bad Bunny’s Touring MilestoneThe NFL’s latest update also comes during another landmark period in Bad Bunny’s career.
According to Billboard Boxscore, Bad Bunny has officially become the first Latin artist ever to surpass $1 billion in career touring revenue.
His ongoing DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS World Tour has generated $360 million alone. Billboard reported that the trek became the highest-grossing and best-selling tour in Boxscore history that did not include any shows in the United States.
The singer’s touring success has been built across several blockbuster outings, including the 2022 World’s Hottest Tour, which grossed $314.1 million, as well as the "Most Wanted Tour," "El Último Tour del Mundo Tour," and earlier concert runs.
The achievement places Bad Bunny among a select group of performers who have crossed the $1 billion touring mark.
Four months after making Super Bowl history, Bad Bunny’s performance continues to generate attention, and the league’s latest release highlights the work that went into creating one of the biggest entertainment moments of the year.
Hugh Jackman Calls New 'Death of Robin Hood' Movie the 'Hardest Thing I've Ever Done'
Unlike most traditional portrayals of the mythic English character, A24's new The Death of Robin Hood offers a far darker and more realistic exploration of the titular outlaw bandit.
Emphasizing the gritty violence and traumatic past of Hugh Jackman's eponymous Robin, The Death of Robin Hood stands in stark contrast to the typically romantic hero played by everyone from Errol Flynn and Sean Connery to Kevin Costner and Russell Crowe.
As an extension of that, the 57-year-old Jackman recently revealed to People magazine just how intense the project proved to be while filming, most especially when it came to some of the more harrowing fight sequences the movie incorporated.
In particular, Jackman cited a memorably raw fight sequence against costar Elijah Ungvary, which saw the movie's characters deliver devastating wounds against one another before an exhausted Robin lies atop his adversary's body.
"If you'd seen another film, we could have looked like lovers," Jackman observed. "And [director Michael Sarnoski] said, 'I love it.' There is a weird intimacy to hand-to-hand combat and the brutality of it."
As impressive as the final product turned out to be, Jackman also claimed this particular sequence proved a significant challenge for him. "That was the hardest thing I've ever done," the Wolverine actor said.
"I am still getting mud out of places, a year later," Jackman went on to jest.
So far, Jackman's performance as the famous prince of thieves has won renown from viewers and critcs alike, with many calling the film a thought-provoking meditation on the tall tales surrounding Robin Hood.
As Jackman previously told Entertainment Weekly, "What I love so much about Mike's vision of Robin Hood is that the script delivered power, and it examines how power can be used for good or bad," he said. "Robin Hood is a real man in our story. With all the scars, the pain, the regret and, yes, the love."
‘Back to the Future’ Star Lea Thompson, 65, Hits the Red Carpet With Her Stunning Daughter, Zoey Deutch
Back to the Future star Lea Thompson is back on the red carpet. But this time, she's with her stunning daughter, Zoey Deutch.
Thompson, 65, rose to stardom back in the '80s in hit films like Future and Some Kind of Wonderful. She later moved to TV with her hit series, Caroline in the City. But it's safe to say her favorite role is devoted mom, because Thompson just hit the red carpet with her rising star daughter, Deutch.
Deutch, 31, started her career as a teen on the Disney Channel, but scored serious creds with roles in indie flicks like Everybody Wants Some!! and Flower. Last year, she reunited with Texan director Richard Linklater in 2025’s Nouvelle Vague, in which she played screen legend Jean Seberg.
In a new red carpet appearance, Deutch stunned in a high-neck black dress alongside her beautiful mother at Sony Pictures Classics' Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass premiere held at AMC The Grove 14 in Los Angeles, California. Like mother, like daughter!

Deutch Inherited Her Mom’s Acting SkillsIt’s no wonder that Deutch is so talented, considering her mother’s iconic roles. She’s even appeared in her mom’s 2017 directorial debut, The Year of Spectacular Men. But Thompson is best known for her roles as Lorraine Baines-McFly in the beloved Back to the Future trilogy. The iconic first film, released in 1985, introduced us to wild teenager Lorraine, whom sweet Marty McFly (played by Michael J. Fox) meets when he travels back in time to 1955 in a DeLorean. Who could forget the iconic scene when his mom tries to kiss him as they sit outside the school dance in his car? Now that’s an awkward run-in!
Deutch Stars in a New Netflix RomanceDeutch currently appears in Voicemails for Isabelle, which just hit Netflix on June 19. The film follows a romance between Deutch’s character, Hill, and Wes, played by Nick Robinson.
“After her sister Isabelle (Ciara Bravo) dies, Jill copes by continuing to leave her voicemails. They’re about everything from her boss Chef Bastien’s (Nick Offerman) insufferable antics to how heartbroken she is without her best friend. Wes, an Austin real estate agent, gets a new work phone and is assigned Isabelle’s old number. Unbeknownst to Jill, Wes gets to listen in on her hilariously confessional messages about her life as an aspiring pastry chef in San Francisco. One voicemail at a time, Wes starts to fall in love with Jill, as they sit on different benches across the country from each other,” the official synopsis reads.
Check out the trailer below!
What’s Next for Zoey Deutch?Deutch will likely score a goal with her next project. Back in January, Deadline announced that the rising star will play Marla Messing, the U.S. Women’s soccer executive who oversaw the 1999 World Cup tournament that set attendance and TV viewership records. Titled The 99’ers, the U.S. Women’s Soccer drama will be directed for Netflix by Nicole Kassell.
