Nile Rodgers and Duran Duran are bringing love back!

The '80s icons teamed up for an electrifying performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! debuting their single, "Free to Love." The song is Duran Duran's first musical release of 2026. Frontman Simon Le Bon describes the track as "disco for the 2020s," and judging from his group's onstage performance on 'Kimmel,' he's right on target.

In an official statement about "Free to Love," Le Bon declares, "It's up-beat and up-tempo; it's about freedom; it's about loving the modern world instead of hating it, and that is something we need right now. Be free! Be free to love!"

"Free to Love" is Duran Duran and Rodgers' latest musical collaboration. Both first teamed up for their 1984 single "The Reflex" from the former's third studio album, Seven and the Ragged Tiger. "The Reflex" became Duran Duran's first to top the Billboard Hot 100 chart and led to a decades-long partnership between Duran Duran and Rodgers.

"My love for Duran Duran and what our music together has always been about is the love we share for our song's deepest meanings. Whatever chaos is going on outside, inside the studio, we're free to love our peace," says Rodgers.

Duran Duran and Nile Rodgers are having a tremendous year so far. The New York Times named Rodgers as one of the 30 greatest living American Songwriters. The Chic co-founder, six-time Grammy Award winner, and Rock & Roll Hall of Famer is known for crafting timeless hits, including "Le Freak" and "I Want Your Love."

As for Duran Duran, the two-time Grammy and Ivor Novello band are gearing up for an appearance at BeachLife Festival on May 1 before heading to their four-night exclusive residency at the Fontainebleau Las Vegas and a European summer tour kicking off in June.

Bassist John Taylor told PEOPLEabout Duran Duran's longevity, "This is all f—king cake at this point, we've had such an extraordinary career, really, and I just feel so incredibly fortunate that I've been around so much great music."

"The fact that there's anything still coming out is remarkable to me."

"Free to Love" is available everywhere now.

Maye Musk, the mother of tycoon Elon Musk, knows how to work the red carpet with glamour at 77.

The model and dietician, who has graced the covers of countless magazines over the years, attended the Devil Wears Prada 2 NYC Cinema Society screening in New York and looked like a total fashion plate. Along with her trademark short white hair, which was brushed back into a soft wave, the glamour girl wore a sparkly black dress and a white fur coat for the fun occasion.

Was Maye Musk on the Cover of Sports Illustrated?

Yes! Back in 2022, Musk hit the cover of Sports Illustrated‘s Swimsuit Edition. Wearing an orange and tan one-piece bathing suit from Maygel Coronel, the model glowed in the special issue. She was joined byKim Kardashian, Ciara, and Yumi Nu to round out the 2022 issue.

“My first reaction was, I could never dream up something like that because why would anyone have a 74-year-old on their cover, especially in a swimsuit,” Musk told PEOPLE of her covergirl moment on the iconic magazine. “I do think it’s going to make women feel more comfortable in their seventies when they swim, as well as women in their twenties and thirties.”

View this post on Instagram What Has Maye Musk Said About Aging?

In her 2019 memoir, A Woman Makes a Plan: Advice for a Lifetime of Adventure, Beauty, and Success, Musk opened up about how women shouldn’t have to tolerate the negativity around aging.

“I went through different stages of my life where I was rejected, insulted, disappointed, and it just takes away your confidence,” Musk told PEOPLE. “Then you just have to get over it. So here, I’m 74, I’m the happiest I’ve ever been, and I don’t care, and nobody’s insulting me because — you don’t want to insult a grandmother. The point is, people are really good to me at this stage, but why should it take so long?”

Shadow and Bone may not have been renewed by Netflix, but that doesn’t mean the Grishaverse has come to an end. Leigh Bardugo continues to develop stories set within the world of Ketterdam, and the upcoming release is a chance to revisit some of the best characters from Six of Crows.

A Darker Shore: Letters from Ketterdam is coming to shelves on June 30. 2026. It promises to deliver another story, but this time there’s a twist. There’s a mystery to solve, and all we have are letters to work it all out.

Set After the ‘Crooked Kingdom’ Events

Bardugo isn’t just bringing our favorite characters back. Instead, she’s bringing a short story that is set years after the events of The Crooked Kingdom. Private correspondence between Kaz Brekker and an anonymous sailor have been found, and they could help to uncover the truth behind the latest diaster.

There’s been a massacre on an island just off Ketterdam’s shores. Two investigators need to figure out how this was allowed to happen and who was involved, and all they have are letters between Kaz and this sailor who was aboard the Wraith, a ship with a mysterious sea captain.

The problem? The sailor goes by the name “I.” That’s it, and it means there is a mystery to find out who this sailor is to help uncover the rest of the details.

Bardugo shared on Goodreads that this short story will only be available in physical form. Due to the immersive nature of the story, it couldn’t be told in digital form. There are beautiful E.K. Belsher and some in-world collectables. One of those is a special poster created by Kevin Wada, which is included with proof of purchase of the book for those in the United States and Canada. International readers can pre-order it, all while supplies last.

There may not be an audio version of it either. The Shadow and Bone author has admitted that she can’t see how that would work due to the visual nature of the tale. The whole story is a puzzle piece, as we follow the lead investigator to solve the mystery.

The release marks 10 years of the Crows, and it’s the best way to delve back into the universe.

If you’ve spent any time in the world of points and miles, you’ve likely heard about the "Air Canada trick." For years, savvy travelers have used the airline’s Aeroplan program as a secret weapon, transferring points from cards like Amex or Chase to snag luxury seats on partner airlines like SWISS or Lufthansa for a fraction of the usual cost. But if you’ve been sitting on a stash of points for a smarter splurge to Europe or Asia, it’s time to move—fast.

Air Canada has quietly posted an ominous note on its website: "As of June 1, 2026, we’re making a few changes to the number of points you may need to redeem for a reward." While this isn't a total "points-pocalypse," it is a classic devaluation that will hit the most popular bucket-list routes the hardest.

Where the Points Hike Hurts Most

The real bread and butter of the Aeroplan program is using points to book partner airlines within the Star Alliance. Unfortunately, according to the Thrifty Traveler, that’s exactly where the biggest price jumps are happening:

• The Europe Business Class Shuffle: Popular business class flights to Europe (think TAP Air Portugal or Austrian Airlines) are jumping from 70,000 to 75,000 miles each way.
• The First Class Premium: If you were eyeing a seat in the world-famous Lufthansa First Class, get ready to dig deeper. Those redemptions are soaring from 100,000 to 120,000 points.
• The Asia Stretch: Long-haul flights to Asia are seeing an 8% to 13% increase, meaning a 75,000-point business class seat will soon set you back 85,000 points.

Where You Still Win

It’s not all bad news. In a surprising twist, Air Canada is actually making some short-haul travel a bit cheaper to help balance the scales. The shortest partner-redemption economy flights to Europe are dropping by about 7%, and some intra-Europe business class hops are also seeing a price dip. Plus, if you're flying out of East Coast hubs like Boston or New York, many of those 60,000-point sweet spots to Europe are staying exactly where they are.

How to Outsmart the Price Hikes

If you have a trip in mind, the best move is to book before the June 1 deadline. Even if you aren't 100% sure of your dates, locking in the current rates now can save you tens of thousands of points per person. Air Canada’s program remains one of the most flexible out there because they don't pass on those massive fuel surcharges that other airlines do—so even with a small price hike, it’s still a powerhouse for the savvy traveler looking to see the world on a budget.

Oreo's newest cookie flavor has fans bursting with excitement.

As if it wasn't enough to get the return of the s'mores-flavored Oreos (S'moreos), this season, fans have another summery staple-inspired sandwich cookie to enjoy: Oreo Firecracker Pop.

The new limited-time release is inspired by the childhood favorite ice pop of the same name and even though it was only formally announced today, it actually leaked online earlier this week to the delight of fans everywhere.

Oreo Debuts New Firecracker Pop Cookie Flavor

"Oh snap!" one exclaimed in a comment on Instagram.

"They look like they would be good," a second suggested, noting that the offer is "perfect for Fourth of July" (and your party spread for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, if you ask us).

"Wish it had the little popping candies!" one more declared.

According to an official description shared with Parade, the new cookies are inspired by the beloved nostalgic frozen treat and pack a "triple-flavor punch" with blue raspberry, lemon, and cherry flavor creme sandwiched between two classic golden cookies, creating a "unique, multi-layered taste experience with every bite."

Just in time for Star Wars Day 2026 on May 4 and the release of Star Wars' upcoming movie The Mandalorian and Grogu on May 22, Piaggio Fast Forward is debuting the new Grogu gitamini, with a design inspired by the beloved Force-sensitive character, Grogu, from The Mandalorian.

Like the company's other gita models, the Grogu gitamini has a range of features and functions. In keeping with the line of other mini versions of the gita robots, the Grogu gitamini is a cargo-carrying, following robot. The robot opens up to reveal a storage compartment that can hold (and transport) up to 20 pounds of gear.

Piaggio Fast Forward

Additionally, the robot has various sensors and cameras that allow it to identify and follow its leader, matching pace including periods of acceleration and deceleration. It is also equipped to navigate myriad types of terrain.

However, this specific design has unique a twist. The exterior of the robot is designed to look like Grogu's hover pram from the Disney+ show, which he was prominently featured in throughout the first season of The Mandalorian. Inside the robot, users can also get a peek at the Child himself, as part of this unique collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm.

The Grogu gitamini also features new Star Wars-inspired sound designs and real-time audio responses, as well as custom Star Wars-inspired decals on the exterior panels and interior cargo bin.

By pairing with the mygita app, users can track the distances they have walked with the Grogu gitamini and access other features, such as the status of the battery life. The robot also comes equipped with bluetooth capabilities—perfect for playing "The Force Theme," "The Imperial March" and other fan-favorite Star Wars songs—and comes with a USB Type-A phone charging port.

The Grogu gitamini is available now and can be purchased at piaggiofastforward.com and DisneyStore.com.

FatBoy just dropped three all-new ice cream flavors inspired by childhood favorites, classic combos and some of the most iconic summertime flavors (talk about sweet!).

The cult-favorite ice cream brand, which boasts itself as "America's No. 1 Ice Cream Sandwich," is known for its oversized, over-the-top frozen treats and its latest drop is no exception.

On Thursday, FatBoy unveiled three new ice cream sandwich flavors, and two of them are part of the brand's "Sandwich Pop" series—which transforms its thick and creamy ice cream sandwiches into a less messy, easier to handle, popsicle form.

FatBoy Drops 3 New Ice Cream Sandwiches Ahead of Summer 2026

The new arrivals follows "strong consumer demand" for last year's ice cream sandwiches and pops, per the brand and include a S'mores Ice Cream Sandwich Pop, Waffle Cone Ice Cream Sandwich Pop, and Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwich.

"These new flavors reflect how we're continuing to evolve the frozen novelty category," Russell Stokes, CEO of Casper's Ice Cream (the brand behind FatBoy), shared in a statement. "We saw an opportunity to take flavors we know people can't live without and reimagine them in new, exciting ways – bringing together nostalgic favorites, fresh formats and the texture-rich indulgence consumers are craving." 

• S'mores Ice Cream Sandwich Pop - Starts with Marshmallow-flavored ice cream that's sandwich and dipped in a chocolatey coating and rolled in graham cracker crumbles, per an official description. The brand says it brings all the nostalgic, campfire-inspired flavor consumers love into a perfectly indulgent pop. No fire needed!
• Waffle Cone Ice Cream Sandwich Pop - Vanilla ice cream sandwich with a rich caramel swirl, dipped in chocolatey coating and rolled in crunchy waffle cone pieces, as described online. FatBoy says it brings the classic scoop shop experience into a sweet-meets-crunch, texture-packed treat.
• Chocolate Ice Cream Sandwich - Rich chocolate ice cream sandwiched between two classic chocolate wafers, per FatBoy. The company suggests the treat spotlights a flavor that (despite its popularity) has rarely taken center stage in the ice cream sandwich aisle.

Movie star Ann-Margret may go down in history for her roles in films like Bye Bye Birdie, but the iconic star hit the red carpet to be honored for another valuable cause.

The redheaded beauty, 85, who was born Ann-Margret Olsson in Sweden, always wanted to be an actress. She rose to superstardom in the ’60s in iconic films like Birdie, Viva Las Vegas, and The Train Robbers. Always known for her wild dance moves, successful music career, and sharp presence on camera, the legend doesn't always hit the big screen these days. However, she has appeared on television in recent years, with appearances on Ray Donovan and The Kominsky Method. But in a rare appearance earlier this week, Ann-Margret was honored by the USO for her legacy of service at the Margaret Herrick Library in Beverly Hills, California. Glowing in electric green, the redhead showed that famous smile as she received her award.

Who Was Ann-Margret's Husband?

Ann-Margret loves to honor her late husband, Roger Smith, who died in 2017.

“They say Hollywood marriages don’t last, but with Roger by my side, I knew we’d prove them wrong. Fifty years later, and I still remember the way he made me laugh in the back of that car,” the actress shared in a recent Instagram post. In the stunning throwback photo, Ann-Margret sits alongside Smith in the backseat of a car. Looking dapper in a gray suit, he holds his sunglasses in his hand.

View this post on Instagram How Did Ann-Margret Get Discovered?

 “I remember wanting to be in show business all my life,” Ann-Margret told Fox News in 2024. “And I remember one day I said to mother and daddy, ‘I want to talk to you. It’s a very, very important thing for me, and I want to get into show business.’”

Her parents agreed, and she was eventually discovered by comedian George Burns. Luckily, he gave her a spot on his Las Vegas show. The rest is history!

Acting is a gamble; it can pay off financially or keep you struggling throughout your life. Ian Somerhalder accomplished that with his starring role on The Vampire Diaries, but revealed how he still struggled after retirement.

Somerhalder played Damon Salvatore on The Vampire Diaries for eight seasons. He then did one season of V-Wars. The actor has tried to invest afterward and spend time with his wife, Nikki Reed.

TV Guide claimed Somerhalder earned $40,000 per episode in 2010, which was the year season 2 of the vampire show aired. The series pushed out 22 episodes per season, and that pay would have increased from there. The actor also earns residuals from the long-running drama.

"I retired from acting seven years ago," Somerhalder told E! News. "I left an insanely lucrative career in television after financial upheaval from building a business that I didn’t build properly. And due to fraud, it put my wife and I into an eight-figure hole."

He said that with her help, that changed. "But Nikki and I did it," he added. "You know, she really negotiated us out of this deal, but we sold houses, paintings, cars, watches, everything."

Somerhalder continues to enjoy his retirement and finds new interests. Reed has also slowed down on acting after playing Rachel Thompson in V-Wars.

The actor is still the co-founder of a company claiming to sell supplements with more absorption. His brand, Brothers Bond Bourbon, with co-star Paul Wesley, continues.

"For close to a decade while filming in the south, Ian and Paul drank bourbon together on and off screen," reads the company's website. "Through their deep sense of brotherhood and shared love of bourbon, they formed a vision of crafting an exceptional whiskey company." The brand launched in 2021.

Cast your mind back to 2024, when Rachel Schneider self-published the first novel in her Fire & Meal duology. Metal Slinger became an immediately romantasy hit, and it wasn’t a surprise when MacMillan Publishers picked up the publishing rights and re-released it.

Since then, eyes have been on the second novel in the series. Light Wielder is finally heading to shelves in June 2026, and Goodreads users rank it among the most anticipated novels coming out during the month. It’s the most highly anticipated romantasy release that month, and you can pre-order it right now.

‘Light Wielder’ Continues the Story

Metal Slinger introduced us to Brynn, who has been training with the Alaha her whole life. All she has ever wanted is to become a guard in an attempt to head to the next annual market hosted by the Kenta, who happened to be the people who exiled her and forced her to a life at sea.

Of course, when her identity is exposed, Brynn has to prove her loyalty to the Alaha. We head out on an adventure, as Brynn learns about the magical world that has been denied to her all this time. And it turns out that Brynn isn’t her original name! Who is she, and what will she choose when Acker becomes part of her life.

This was one of those books that left readers with their jaws on the floor, and yet it seemed to take forever for the sequel to come out. That wait is finally over, with Light Wielder jumping ahead four years, and you definitely need to read the first book before you jump into the second.

MacMillan Publishers

A Brutal War Has Started

Light Wielder picks up in the middle of a brutal war. After Jovie’s decisions at the end of the first novel, Kenta and Strou have rallied against Roison and Alaha. The Maile people can currently just watched from the sidelines, and Jovie will do everything she can to protect her people.

Romantasy fans need to see Jovie and Acker find their way back to each other, especially with the jaw-dropping twist that came at the end of Metal Slinger. However, can those fractures be mended? Will the Matching Bond win out, especially as Acker finds a way to infiltrate Jovie’s dreams?

Decisions need to be made on both sides, and we’ll get to find out how it all plays out on June 9, 2026. This is sure to be a sequel that’s worth the wait!

Somewhere between the Carolyn Bessette Kennedy coffee table book and the lived-in Nancy Meyers-inspired aesthetic, we’ve found ourselves in the midst of a '90s revival.

For many of us, it’s a welcome nod to our childhood, while for others, particularly those who are subscribed to the trends circulating on TikTok, it’s a longing for an almost mythical era that pre-dated the chronically online and seemingly unstable time we’re living through right now.

But which '90s trends are going to come back in a big way, and which ones are likely to stay in the past? These are the 90s-inspired decor trends that designers say will make a comeback, and how to get them right in 2026.

1. Dark Wood Tones

Photo by Clay Banks on Unsplash

“Dark woods have been the biggest design revival since the '90s. They were revived because of their contrast with the light grays that dominated throughout much of the 2000s,” explains Ana Li, design director, Linq Kitchen. “While this new version of the wood will look different from what we grew up with (the heavy, glossy red cherry), it still utilizes a sophisticated approach to applying deep reddish-brown stains to slab front cabinets, one that emphasizes horizontal grain patterns and organic texture.”

‘‘I am seeing many pairings of these rich wood tones with bold forest green marble countertops and thick bullnose edges,” adds Li. “This appears to be a reference to the luxury executive style that was commonplace at the upper end of interior design in the 1990s.”

2. Window Seating and Breakfast Nooks View this post on Instagram

“I also see a lot of built-in window seating and cozy breakfast nooks, all using dark wood paneling to create a sense of architectural permanence and enclosure,” says Li. “This movement towards darker, more saturated color schemes returns us to the 1990's concept of the library-style kitchen, where a kitchen appears to be a lived-in den rather than an uninviting, sterile laboratory.”

According to Li, we can achieve the feeling of having lived in our kitchens by integrating appliances into the wood paneling and using oversized wrought-iron lighting fixtures to recreate the grounded, old-world luxury that gave the 1990's such a sense of substance and permanence.

3.Warm Colors and Character View this post on Instagram

“What we're really seeing is a full rejection of the cold, gray, stripped-back interiors that dominated the last decade,” says Courtney Blanton, founder, Courtney Blanton Interiors. “Clients want warmth, character and homes that feel like something. Moldings are back. Dental detail, paneling, painted millwork. Color is back too, layered and deliberate, with upholstery and textiles doing as much work as the architecture around them.”

4. Everyday Charm

Pattern and “everyday charm” details have made a big comeback recently. “Checkerboard floors are turning up again, as are cafe curtains that cut glare and add softness without blocking all the light,” says Lenny Kharitonov, CEO, Emma Mason. “Decorative trims that feel slightly nostalgic, including scalloped edges and skirted sink moments, are showing up as accents rather than an all-over theme.”

View this post on Instagram

What makes the revival feel current is the finish and the editing, says Kharitonov. “Matte or satin paint tends to keep buttery yellows and warm creams looking modern, while high-gloss can push the look back into period costume,” he explains. “Tile looks updated when it has a handmade texture and is paired with tighter, warmer grout rather than stark white lines that call attention to every joint. Hardware is being mixed more confidently, too. A touch of chrome can nod to the decade, but it’s usually balanced with warm brass so the kitchen feels collected, not matchy.”

5. The "Butter Mom" Kitchen View this post on Instagram

A butter mom kitchen blends cozy 90s style with a hunger for warmth, homemade meals, and slower living. “Picture curvy furniture, honey-toned wood floors, and the soft glow of Tuscan style,” says Adi Gogan, CEO of Texas Pro Remodelling. “It trades cold, polished surfaces for playful colors, floral wallpaper, frilly curtains and soft yellows—comfortable and functional, never sterile.”

View this post on Instagram

Think of the kitchens in The Parent Trap or Gilmore Girls. “Warm pine furniture with scratches and dents is the point,” says Gogan. “A butcher block island or antique worktable replaces the built-in version. Hutches and cabinets hold thrifted treasures and dried botanicals.”

6. Honey Oak & Warm Wood

“For years, new homeowners rushed to paint honey oak cabinets white, gray, or navy, but we were too hasty,” says Gogan. “These cabinets were 90s staples for a reason—they're warm and inviting. Now they're back, often reclaimed or sustainably sourced, with textured finishes that feel current.”

7. Chrome Is Back

Photo by Franco Debartolo on Unsplash

“Brass dominated for a decade. It was everywhere. Now designers are setting it aside. Chrome, once tied to harsh 90s minimalism, is appearing in softer spaces,” says Gogan. “The trick is restraint. One chrome pendant over a marble island works. An entire chrome bathroom doesn't. Use it as punctuation, not the whole paragraph.”

8. Glass Block Walls View this post on Instagram

“This one surprised me. For twenty years, we tore out glass block walls. They felt cold, corporate and hopelessly dated. Now they're back in bathrooms, but different—curved, colored and used sparingly,” explains Gogan. “A single window panel, a shower partition, an entryway insert.”

9. High-Gloss Lacquer View this post on Instagram

According to Gogan, the matte era is ending and glossy lacquered cabinets, furniture and décor are appearing everywhere. “Custom built-ins in white or soft gray lacquer add light and depth, balancing beautifully with natural textures. The finish feels sculptural—like living with art.”

Gogan also points out that gloss amplifies everything: craftsmanship, light, color choices. “Done right, it's stunning. Done wrong, it's a dentist's waiting room from 1994. Pair it with linen, raw wood or aged stone.”

10. Deep Earth Tones

Photo by Clay Banks on Unsplash

After years of greige, warm depth is returning. “Maple, cherry, terracotta, taupe. These aren't simple dark colors—they're complex, with undertones of olive, rust, mud and plum,” says Gogan. “They make a room feel inhabited rather than staged. That warmth feels genuinely radical right now.”

Being skilled at interacting with others is an exceptional personality trait. According to Psychology Today, extroversion is a personality trait "characterized by outgoingness, high energy, and talkativeness". While many individuals exhibit a mix of introverted and extroverted traits—such as ambiverts—it's clear that most people tend to lean more towards one side or the other.

Extroverted spirits are known for their vibrant personalities that bring people together. They often encourage introverts to come out of their shells and help others focus on the present moment rather than getting lost in their thoughts. You can find them hosting beautiful gatherings, spending time with loved ones, and filling their calendars with fun social events. In their view, life is richer when shared. They gain energy from their interactions with friends and are always eager for the next great adventure to share with good company.

June - The Connection-Seeker

People born in June are either sociable Geminis or sentimental Cancers, motivated by a desire to connect with others.

When Rory McIlroy won the Masters tournament in April 2026, it felt good—but there was another part of his life that felt even better. The golf icon said that becoming a parent with his wife, Erica Stoll, to their daughter, Poppy McIlroy was the greatest thing he's ever done on or off the green.

"It's amazing," he said to Golf Week after Poppy was born. "You see other people having kids and babies, and you'll say congratulations and you're happy for them, but you don't really know how it feels. It's probably the best part of being a human being, and I'm glad that I got to experience it."

Poppy famously loves watching her dad golf, especially during Masters week.

"This has definitely turned into Poppy’s favorite week of the year," he said, adding jokingly, "I don’t know if it’s because of the Par 3 tournament or it's [because of the] all you can eat ice cream in the player services building.” 

Get to know the little girl who he thinks is by par the best part of his life.

Yes, and he adores her.

"Poppy Kennedy McIlroy, born August 31st, 12:15pm," Rory wrote on Instagram announcing his daughter's arrival. "She is the absolute love of our lives. Mother and baby are doing great."

"You feel like you get to know your baby while she’s still in her mother’s belly, but to go from not having met this person to having unconditional love for them, there’s nothing like it in the world," McIloy Golf Week. “It’s probably the best part of being a human being, and I’m glad that I got to experience it.”

What age is Rory McIlroy's daughter Poppy?

Born Aug. 31, 2020, Poppy is five years old as of this writing in April 2026—and she's already demonstrated talent at the tee, going viral in 2025 for a successful putt.

Rory said in a press conference at the time that Poppy has a lot in common with his wife, but that she gets her love of golf from him.

"Poppy, like she's a mini Erica. It's like living with two of them, which is great a lot of the time," he said. "She is the most unbelievably polite and respectful and well-behaved little girl, and I really love that she started to get into the game a lot more, and it all stemmed from the putt last year at the Par 3."

Poppy's enthusiasm meant that McIlroy had an extra putter in his bag this year.

He continued, "She made sure that I brought her putter up this year so she could hit the putt with her putter and not mine. Just to see her grow up to have her travel the world to see different places, to give her a life that I could only dream about when I was that age, that's been the coolest thing."

Rory said in a press conference after the 2026 Masters that becoming a dad made winning the tournament even more meaningful and gave him a new appreciation for his own parents, Rosie McDonald and Gerry McIlroy.

“In the moment, I think when the ball trickled by and I marked it there from two inches or whatever, I just looked at the back of the green, and I give it one of these," he said, miming a fist pump. "Because I saw my mom and dad and Erica and Poppy, and I was just like, 'I can’t believe I’ve just done it again.'”

Rory said that having his entire family present made his win extra meaningful, in part because his parents initially thought they may have been bad luck.

“They missed it [in 2025], and the first thing I wanted to do was fly home to see them because I obviously wouldn’t be sitting up here if it wasn’t for them,” Rory recalled. “I had to sort of convince them to come this year because they thought the reason I won last year was because they weren’t here.”

“Mom and dad, I owe everything to you,” he added, fighting back tears. “You are … you’re the most wonderful parents and if I can be half the parent to Poppy that you were to me then I know I’ve done a good job.”

Why did Rory name his daughter Poppy?

"We wanted to go with something that was pretty unique, maybe more common back where I’m from, but we landed on Poppy and we loved it," he told Golf Week.

A straw bag is one of those essential summer accessories that gets worn constantly once the weather warms up, especially if it doesn’t look too beachy for regular outfits. Coach Outlet’s Emily Shoulder Bag is the perfect example, and it’s available in a straw/gold/toast colorway with refined pebble leather trim. It also comes in nine other colors, like cow print, glazed leather, and signature canvas, though not in the same straw style.

It measures 9 inches long by 5 inches high by 2.25 inches wide and has a recycled polyester lining. The zip-top closure helps keep your belongings more secure than an open straw tote, and the interior zip pocket provides a place for smaller items like cards, lip balm, or keys. The adjustable strap also has a 6.75-inch drop and an extender that extends it to 21.75 inches if you want to wear it longer.

The woven texture gives the bag a warm-weather look, while the leather trim and gold hardware keep it from feeling too casual. The extra strap is useful for travel days, longer walks, or any time you don’t want to keep readjusting a short strap on your shoulder. It’s also small enough for a night out, but not so tiny that you have to choose between your phone and your keys.

One shopper said it’s “such a cute purse,” noting it’s “very versatile.” Another called it “small but mighty,” while a different reviewer said it’s “just the right size.” It’s “so perfect for summer and vacation outfits,” a fourth added, mentioning that “the shoulder strap is adjustable and perfect.”

This purse would work well with a white tank, denim, and flat sandals, but it could also go a little dressier with a sundress or maxi skirt. It ticks the box of being the perfect vacation bag that can be worn to dinner or other activities without feeling like you’re wearing the same outfit more than once. It’s also great for showers, casual weddings, brunches, or any other summer plans where you don’t want to lug around a whole tote.

At a time when many parents are rethinking how screen time affects their kids' behavior, a new children’s series is taking a notably different approach. It's one shaped in part by a longtime Disney producer known for big, cross-generational storytelling.

Developed with input from a child and adolescent psychiatrist, Lulubug's Garden focuses on emotional development in young viewers, helping them build foundational skills like recognizing feelings, practicing self-regulation and navigating everyday social situations. But unlike much of today’s fast-paced, overstimulating content, this show leans into a calmer, more intentional tone without sacrificing fun or engagement.

Behind the project is creator Jil Hunter, a mother of seven who set out to create the kind of thoughtful, less overwhelming programming she wanted for her own kids. She’s joined by Dr. Karen Manotas, a child and adolescent psychiatrist whose expertise in early development and school-based mental health helped shape the show’s emotional framework.

And then there’s Brigham Taylor—a veteran Disney producer whose credits include the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, The Jungle Book, and Christopher Robin. His involvement brings a storytelling sensibility designed to resonate not just with kids, but with the families watching alongside them.

Together, the team is aiming to create something that feels both meaningful and accessible: a series that encourages kids to slow down, tune into their emotions and build skills they can carry into everyday life.

Select media outlets are getting an early preview of the series ahead of its debut, with full episodes and additional materials available under embargo through April 30—offering a first look at what could be a refreshing shift in the landscape of children’s programming. Be sure to check it out!

Eve Plumb may have played the ultimate middle child, Jan Brady, on The Brady Bunch, but she's shining brightly these days!

Plumb, 67, skyrocketed to fame on the original Brady Bunch series, which aired from 1969 to 1974 on ABC and became an international phenomenon. She tackled the famous role of middle daughter Jan, who was often known for playing second fiddle to her glamorous older sister Marcia, played by Maureen McCormick. In her post-Brady years, Plumb successfully transitioned to adult roles and has been a frequent guest star on TV series like Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and Blue Bloods. But many of us will always love her for her original role, and that famous "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" delivery.

In the present day, Plumb is looking more glamorous than ever. The actress hit the red carpet premiere of The Other Bennet Sister in New York City, and was gorgeous in a green suit. Marcia may have gotten more attention back then, but Plumb is stealing the show now.

What Famous Brady Bunch Line Did Eve Plumb Hate?

Plumb, whose new memoir Happiness Included: Jan Brady and Beyondwas released this week, spoke about The Brady Bunch's iconic legacy during a recent appearance on CBS Mornings. But in the conversation, Plumb revealed that she actually hated the famous "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia" line, saying that it actually “really bothered her.”

“It, oddly enough, felt like a schoolyard taunt,” Plumb explained. 

When she saw the moment parodied on Saturday Night Live in the '90s, it didn't make her feel good.

“It took me back to being that age, and it felt as if someone was making fun of my performance,” Plumb shared. “But this was an adult actor on a comedy show, and I was an adult. So it was a very odd reaction to have, but that's sort of how I felt.”

Despite that moment, knowing that so many people identified with Jan's experience as the middle child is a thing that Plumb takes great pride in.

“It's such an amazing thing, and it's like an honor to have people feel this way about Jan,” Plumb said. “It's so great, and I really appreciate it. At the time, we were sort of insular. We were making our shows. We didn't have social media. So we were just trying to make the best show we could and I feel it was great that they really included these storylines, that children have emotions, children have hard times. And to have people like that is is really wonderful.”

Most of us use Uber for that frantic dash to the airport or the late-night ride home, but the company is making a major play to handle your entire vacation itinerary. At its annual "Go-Get" event in New York City, Uber announced that U.S. users can now book hotels directly within the app.

While "another booking site" might not always sound revolutionary, the integration here is a genuine logistics win for travelers who want to trim the mental load of managing multiple apps. Through a partnership with Expedia Group, Uber is opening up access to 700,000 hotels worldwide, with vacation rental inventory from Vrbo expected to join the lineup later this year.

Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, who previously led Expedia for over a decade, is positioning the platform as a one-stop shop. "Uber is now an app for everything, where you can go, you can get, and now you can travel," Khosrowshahi said during the launch. "Life feels busier than ever—too many apps, too many steps, too many decisions... at Uber, our mission is to reimagine the way the world moves, so you can spend less time managing life and more time living it."

The real draw for frequent travelers—and specifically Uber One members—is the math behind the stay. Members will receive 20% discounts on a rotating list of 10,000 hotels and 10% back in Uber One credits on every booking. If you're already paying for the subscription to save on delivery fees, this effectively turns the app into a high-value travel loyalty program that rewards you with credits you’ll actually use for your next ride to the terminal.

Beyond the checkout button, Uber is launching "Travel Mode" to act as a personal concierge. This includes a "room service" hub through Uber Eats, designed for those "forgotten travel essentials" delivered straight to your hotel door alongside curated local recommendations and restaurant reservations powered by OpenTable.

Perhaps the most interesting new perk for luxury travelers is "Eats for the Way." If you reserve an Uber Black, you can actually order a drink or snack to be waiting in the vehicle when it picks you up. Khosrowshahi noted, "Coffee waiting in your Uber? We heard you, and it’s happening."

Whether you are looking for a boutique stay or just a way to consolidate your receipts, having your ride, your room, and your dinner in one interface is a major step toward a seamless travel day. As the company puts it, this evolution is about "helping you go, get and now travel."

In the early 1970s, Stephen King was an English teacher living in a trailer with his wife and two children and a stack of five unpublished novels. In 1973, a little novel he titled Carriewas received by Doubleday and published behind a $2000 advance for King.

Upon publication in May of 1974, the president of the New English Library read it in one night and acquired the rights to mass-market publication for $400,000 from the imprint. The $200,000 that King would receive from the deal would allow him to quit his teaching job, become a full-time author, and the rest is horror legend history.

Initial sales of Carrie were decent, however the novel would go on to become a bestseller after the 1976 film release starring Sissy Spacek as the titular character. Because of the boosted sales from the film, the book would go on to hit the New York Timesbestseller list, solidifying King as a debut author. Since its publication in 1974, Carrie has sold more than four million copies world wide.

The novel follows Carrie White, a shy and sheltered 16-year-old girl in Chamberlain, Maine who discovers she possesses telekinetic powers. Carrie lives with her abusive and religiously fanatic mother, Margaret, who does nothing to protect her daughter from the intense bullying she's on the receiving end of at school. When Carrie is tormented by her fellow students on prom night, the cruelty from her peers causes her to unleash her powers in an act no one could've predicted, Carrie included.

Carrie has been adapted numerous times since the novel came out. The first aforementioned film was released in 1976, and would be followed by a sequel in over 20 years later in 1999 that was critically panned and a box office bomb. Two more film remakes would be released in 2002 and 2013, but neither received the same acclaim as the first initial film.

However fans of King are in luck, because Mike Flanagan, largely considered a master in the horror space, is taking the next swing at an adaptation of King's debut novel.

View this post on Instagram

Flanagan, known for The Haunting of Hill House and more, has previously written and directed film versions of King's Doctor Sleep, Gerald's Game, and The Life of Chuck. According to Deadline, Flanagan's take on Carrie is, "a reimagining of the story of misfit high schooler, Carrie White, who has spent her life in seclusion with her domineering mother. After her father’s sudden death, Carrie finds herself contending with the challenges of attending high school, a bullying scandal, and the emergence of mysterious telekinetic powers."

The Amazon Prime mini-series will consist of eight episodes and is starring Summer H. Howell and Samantha Sloyan as Carrie White and her mother, respectively. The series is set to premiere in October of this year.

The drama is really heating up on The Real Housewives of Rhode Island. And for Rulla Nehme Pontarelli, much of it centers around her increasingly tense dynamic with co-star Jo-Ellen Tiberi.

Rulla addressed the ongoing friction between the two in an exclusive interview with Parade. She pushes back on the narrative that she’s been targeting Jo-Ellen, instead offering her own perspective on what really went down.

“We’re cordial,” Rulla said carefully. “I’ve tried to take the high road despite everything that’s been thrown my way.”

Rulla insists the situation is more nuanced than it comes across on TV, especially when it comes to the now-infamous photos of Rulla’s husband, Brian Pontarelli, and his mistress that circulated among the group before reaching her.

“I was actually grateful that [Jo-Ellen] brought it to light,” Rulla revealed, a surprising admission given the tension. “What I wasn’t okay with was that those photos were shared around the group, around production and beyond before they even got to me. I would never do that to her.”

That distinction, she says, is key to understanding why trust between them has broken down.

“I can be cordial, I can be friendly, but I don’t think I can trust her at this stage,” Rulla explained. “And that’s hard.”

According to Rulla, one of the biggest sticking points is Jo-Ellen’s continued communication with her husband’s past mistress, something she finds both confusing and hurtful.

“She's maintained communication with that ratchet individual, aka the cockroach,” she said. “If you want to be a ‘girl’s girl,’ why are you maintaining ties to someone whose objective is to hurt my family? That’s where it doesn’t sit right with me.”

Rulla also explained a bit more about her husband filing a complaint against Jo-Ellen at her workplace. She was adamant that she had no involvement in any attempt to jeopardize Jo-Ellen’s job.

“I want to make this very clear. I had zero participation in that,” she said. “This was not some plot to get her fired.”

Instead, Rulla explained that the situation stemmed from a conversation between her husband and a longtime friend, who also happened to be Jo-Ellen’s boss at the time. What followed, she claims, was blown out of proportion.

“It turned into, ‘They’re coming after my job, they’re attacking my family,’ and that’s just not accurate,” Rulla said. “It’s frustrating to have that narrative out there when it’s simply not true.”

Despite everything, Rulla says she’s making a conscious effort to keep things as peaceful as possible moving forward, even if full reconciliation feels unlikely.

“I’ve tried to remain amicable without getting too close,” she said. “Because at the end of the day, trust is everything and once that’s broken, it’s not easy to get back.”

As for why Rulla opted to stay in her marriage with Brian despite his infidelity, ultimately, her choice to stay comes down to a belief that their relationship is worth fighting for.

"He is a great provider. He is a fun partner. He is an extremely hard worker and a very well-respected foot and ankle surgeon. A wonderful father. He is a lot of fun. He is ultra generous," she explained. "And no, for the record, people, I'm not here for money or anything like that."

Luckily for Rulla, she seems to be doing just fine on her own financially as a wealth planner for some of Rhode Island's richest families.

As the season continues, it’s clear this feud between Jo-Ellen and Rulla is far from over. And if Rulla’s perspective is any indication, viewers may not have seen the full story just yet.

The Real Housewives of Rhode Island airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on Bravo. Episodes are available to stream the next day on Peacock.
